[analog gale]

aw

[nimble fiber]

10% electrocute buildup + lightning dam

[round escarp]

That's from legion Poe 1

[wooden iris]

i know man, i run it myself on T15 - but i don't think vids are out yet of the new interactions

[analog gale]

no im saying you can see how it used to chain

its not gonna do that now

im guessing armor explosion cant trigger other armor explosions now

like it can armor break the enemy

but they wont explode

[wooden iris]

armor break can cause armour explosion if the armor is fully broken, so if you combine it with full break on heavy stun - the chain potential is still there

[quick trail]

was just about to respec from leap slam into a stampede setup, gonna really suck if it's just trash now

[analog gale]

thats literally what they are stopping

[round escarp]

No because the explosion was from the gem

It won't trigger another one

[royal cliff]

Need help with a question - if my skill converts 80% of physical into cold. What happens to the other 2 elements if i use a tri elemental weapon?

[analog gale]

they are likely making it so that only damage from the skill with armor explosion support causes explosions

[wooden iris]

full break on heavy stun is a seperate gem though, its unrelated to the armor explosion gem - the gem just says fully broken armour explodes

[analog gale]

basically armor explosion support used to support itself

[graceful stag]

If it's added lightning ot fire nothing happens bcz they're not phys

[analog gale]

nothing

[royal cliff]

so they wont be included in the damage calculation i see

[analog gale]

it does the elemental damage

[analog gale]

no

it just doesnt get converted

you still do the damage

[gray ferry]

they will still be added

[royal cliff]

oh

[onyx vessel]

Telling you guys, boneshatter is back on the menu

[gray ferry]

you will do the added elements on top of the cold damage

[royal cliff]

itll still be multiplied by Ele damage mods and then do ontop of the cold i see

[graceful stag]

Lightning + fire + cold + 80% of phys to cold + 20% phys

[royal cliff]

ty

[nimble fiber]

i got this staff with 110 % increased ele dam. My skill converts 80% of phys to Lightning. So does the lightning from the skill gets increasd by the ele dam affix?

[gray ferry]

is it increased elemental damage to attacks?

[nimble fiber]

i think so it is on a quaterstaff

[undone mortar]

Lightning damage is elemental, yes.

[nimble fiber]

so thats a good stat actually

[undone mortar]

Yes, that is a good stat.

[hollow galleon]

Cant read patch notes

[gray ferry]

yeah it should be

[cloud vessel]

can I expect to drop lvl14 spirit gems in act3 crual ? blink + cast on critical
thanks

[analog gale]

seems interesting

you can be at low life while still having a bunch of life

[edgy hollow]

Is there a quest that gives spirit

[gray ferry]

you get 100 spirit over the campaign

[analog gale]

there are some bosses that do

[past axle]

is there a website to find all mods an item can roll with?

[covert spade]

hey guys how much accuracy should i be aiming for? my sunders keep missing :/ ~level 50ish, got zero accuracy atm lol

[edgy hollow]

Oh I thought U could get 110 spirit

[analog gale]

ah its a focus

[near moth]

Hi. This has probably been asked a few times but is there a poe2 build planner for the passives?

[analog gale]

so you cant use it with that life cost staff

[gray ferry]

30 at Freythorn King of the Mists (Act 1), 30 at Azak Bog boss Ignakduk (Act 3), and again Ignakduk in cruel mode act 6 for 40

[edgy hollow]

Ty

[graceful stag]

From some of the side bosses

[edgy hollow]

So there's no vial that gives +10

[analog gale]

damn

[graceful stag]

Ya ok poe2db

[gray ferry]

no other spirit from campaign

[analog gale]

maxroll has one

[gray ferry]

rest must come from gear or certain passives

[deep rivet]

kaom must have been a terrible cheerleader

[wooden iris]

anyone able to log in?

[graceful stag]

Kekw

[gray ferry]

I like the maxroll planner

[analog gale]

that could be a lot of healing if you consume and generate charges fast enough

[royal cliff]

Am relatively new to phys in poe2. If u're playing a full phys skill is having a set up to fully armor break a must?

[round escarp]

i may actually end up doing that

there's some nodes

and then you basically block generate charges and consume

[near moth]

Thanks all, I think maxroll is wrong, since it specifies a skill i cannot find

[round escarp]

yes hype

late game enemies will have armour

[analog gale]

?

more healing

[balmy fable]

Yo do we know how % increased interacts with ailments? If I'm rainbow bleeding with bloodmage (all 3 elements) and I get % increased phys, will that scale the bleed damage since the bleed itself is phys damage?

[royal cliff]

im alr at 15 but im ele, i want to switch to phys but im not a warrior. Do you have any suggestions on how to armor break?

[round escarp]

if you dont have a way to break either via passives or skill u willl cry

[alpine helm]

ani sorcerer build here

?

[gray ferry]

Kingsguard was cool in poe1 using Romira's Banquet to cycle generating power charges / losing them, and Voll's Devotion to gain an endurance charge everytime you lose a power charge, and then using discharge to consume all your charges and do damage

[analog gale]

i think the increased phys applies to the blleed probably

[forest spoke]

Does anyone know if there are any good ways to use Weapon Set Skill Points/Weapon Swapping for Minion Builds?

[gray ferry]

Was neat with something like cyclone Mjolner which triggered discharge rapidly

[undone mortar]

Bleed is based on the damage of the hit that applied it, so increasing damage increases the bleed.

[analog gale]

if your on pc hold alt and hover over bleeding

[round escarp]

if you're not a warrior i recommend getting nodes on passives or converting

[analog gale]

it will probably tell you

[gray ferry]

I wonder if we have anything cool like that so far

[balmy fable]

I'm guessing so too, but they changed things so that now the total hit matters not the base, so dno if % increased now only applies to the base hit

[round escarp]

most skills convert for that reason

what phys dmg are you doing?

[undone mortar]

Ailments are not increased by %increases to damage.

[analog gale]

aw

[quick trail]

Are titan stampede explosions dead now or is there another solution? Also maybe herald of ash will carry

[balmy fable]

Ah okay

[balmy fable]

None, im rainbow bleeding w/ blood mage

[royal cliff]

trying to do flicker strike on monk with full phys

[round escarp]

thats the dream lol. that shield was 100+ ex now probably 10s of div

[undone mortar]

The only thing that increases ailment damage is scaling the initial hit or increased damage taken ono the mob like shock.

[round escarp]

you dont want to do that anyway

[balmy fable]

But since the bleed is phys, thought maybe % inc phys would increase it

yeah

[analog gale]

ah right its based on the damage of the hit

i was misremembering

[balmy fable]

I'm going painters gloves, so gotta get creative

[royal cliff]

i have a plan but i dont have the armor breaking part worked out. Does armor break by itself without any gem supports or passives?

[chilly mist]

like, why they targeting cold sorcs tho??

[real creek]

critical hit chance, and crit hit chance for spells. multiplicative or additive stacking?

[undone mortar]

They changed it this way to prevent builds that did 0 damage on hit and just scaled ailment

[analog gale]

thats not gonna work on bleed

[balmy fable]

did you miss the part where I'm a blood mage lmao

[jolly iris]

How much freeze/ailment threshold is necessary to drop thawing charm?

[round escarp]

better to convert so you can get the freezes and shocks for easy frenzy sustain

[analog gale]

elemental damage converted to

[undone mortar]

Increased chances all scale additively with each other.

[soft lake]

Where are you getting bleed chance from? I want to try bleed Blood Mage but getting bleed chance seems so difficult

[analog gale]

your elemental damage can contribute to the bleed

but the bleed will still do physical damage

[royal cliff]

chayula is the reasonw hy

[analog gale]

wait

what are we talking about

[royal cliff]

ES leech can only be physical

[balmy fable]

They just buffed bleed support to 50%, there's 30% chance on tree north of of witch, and then 20% can be made up for with jewels

[round escarp]

but skill conversion wont convert 100% of the dmg

just most of it

[analog gale]

why are you using painters gloves?

[balmy fable]

Yes, which is why I was trying to figure out whether % inc phys would scale the bleed damage

ie. the bleed itself

Wasnt sure if % inc damage types scaled ailments of that type outside the hit

[round escarp]

but the dmg will be reduced because you cant armour break when vs high dmg enemies

high armour

[warped stratus]

NOTES FOR NEW BUILDS, DONT TEST IN PRODUCTION

[royal cliff]

what ways are there to armor break with just gems?

[round escarp]

yes

[compact tulip]

Is there a dummies guide to "Magnitude"? I'm not high IQ enough to understand the in-game tooltip explanation

[balmy fable]

So I can ignite and then use fiery death support to prolif bleeds, which ignite and continue chaining

[undone mortar]

It's just a multiplier

[last plaza]

Any other higher level minion builds that wanto to theory craft?

[round escarp]

theres a gem that breaks for 15% of dmg dealt

[soft lake]

What skill are you using? Only having a single skill that can bleed for clear and single-target sounds a little rough

[round escarp]

cant remember if its phys or all dmg

[balmy fable]

Looking at flameblast for bossing, arc or exsang for clearing

[compact tulip]

a multiplier of what

[balmy fable]

also possibly the bone aoe spell

idr the name

[rose forge]

stupid question: converted damage, only gets damage increase from the damage type it is converted to, right? It doesn't get both, i'm guessing

[undone mortar]

It's physical damage

[burnt lily]

is Mind over Body + eldrich battery viable ?

[undone mortar]

Of the effect of the ailment

[burnt lily]

i kinda rather have that extra energy sheild

[undone mortar]

Conversion happens first in poe2, yes.

You don't double dip

[balmy fable]

Absolutely will need to make sure I do enough phys damage to armor break though

[rose forge]

thanks.
that would make it multiplicative, it would be too strong

[balmy fable]

or have a secondary skill to armor break

[lofty grotto]

In meantime, here's new node cluster

• 8% lightning damage 10% elec buildup
• 8% lightning damage 10% elec buildup
• 10% lightning damage
• 5% skill speed 30% elec buildup

Took it right before server crash

[balmy fable]

im also not 100% sure if painter tech will work for clear

depends on how consistent the bleeds/ignites are from corpse explosions

[wooden iris]

servers are back up

[graceful stag]

U mean matter? And yes

[wooden iris]

log in everybody

[dense jasper]

Ooo. Where is it in the tree

[burnt lily]

ah yes matter

[balmy fable]

but in theory painters gloves allows you to ignite with any skill

which allows you to use fiery death to prolif bleeds

[round escarp]

how do bone skills get armour break?

[lofty grotto]

Right in the middle between ranger and monk

[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?

[royal cliff]

@round escarp cant i just slap on devastate - inflciting heavy stun also fully breaks armor

[balmy fable]

there's armor break on crit w/ phys spells on tree

[rose forge]

bless your kind heart

[balmy fable]

that or armor break support

[still rock]

or be warbringer

[balmy fable]

ya or that

[round escarp]

You can, depends how quickly you build stun break armour.

[vestal herald]

anyone know if fortress support gem reduces ignite damage for flame wall?

[balmy fable]

im HOPING beetlebite are okay for aggravating bleeding

otherwise i have to work an attack into my build

which is a PITA

[still rock]

Shockwave totem?

can use it without martial

[balmy fable]

dont think that works with your crits aggravate bleeding

totems arent you

unless thats changed in poe2

[vestal heart]

does toxic growth do full chaos damage?

[royal cliff]

how about exposed wounds? - "break 30% increased armour on enemies affected by ailments" does this ever fully break them?

[lament plank]

hello i was looking if somebody could give me a good duo synergy build that could work together well

[still rock]

totems are you, you arent your totems

[remote spruce]

Anyone already running adorned?

[still rock]

so should work imo, atleast a test is worthy

[balmy fable]

ya worth testing

also have to get their crit rate high tho

which isnt really worth doing imo

but you HAVE to go that route if the boots arent sufficient

[hot meteor]

I wanna make an archer as it looks rlly fun, but do we know if its gonna be nerfed soon? im not sure exactly what archer build yet but i dont wanna build it to be destroyed

[graceful grail]

Yo guys im new in poe, Is it possible to extend the duration of NOT getting staggered while blocking? This stagger bar is based on some specific stat?

[still rock]

I'd assume it works as long as you stay in the 6m which is most the screen anyways

[round escarp]

no that wouldnt break iteself it just increases the break value,

[graceful stag]

I think it's based on ur stun threshold

[balmy fable]

That's the problem, it's when they ENTER your presence -- ie. it aggravates the bleed on them when they come within 6 meters

[still rock]

Ah I see

[balmy fable]

it doesnt say "aggravates bleeds on enemies in your presence"

[still rock]

so you'd have to run out and run in lmao

[balmy fable]

so you need 1) high enough damage to clear without aggravated

and 2) be able to consistently leave and enter presence on bosses

so its possible

but i dont know how consistent

going to have to test

[graceful grail]

Ooooooooh. Ok makes sense, im going to test that thanks

[balmy fable]

probably need quite a bit of bleed damage to clear without aggravation tho

[round escarp]

i think the break armour for 15% of the phys hit dmg gem would be your best bet with flicker strike and get a high phys staff. You have many hits

[dusty bear]

is poison good with only 2-3 stacks?

[round escarp]

Can be depending on how well you scale it

[balmy fable]

another possibility is instead of going rainbow, go fire

[still rock]

phys dmg utility feels weird - if you want to break armor for damage then vuln becomes useless

[balmy fable]

boss with fireblast, clear with living bomb + fireball

[rocky pilot]

Slam melee actually has real aftershock chance now

[dusty bear]

i'm playing hexblast, the poison nodes are really far on tree so i'd only be taking the duration/+1 poison wheel and maybe the magnitude and recover life on kill one

and slap on a poison +1 stack support

would that be worth it?

[rocky pilot]

massive improvement. it was so confusing that they created this entire slam + aftershock archetype and gave almost no support for it

[round escarp]

poison doesnt scale with chaos damage

[rocky pilot]

hexblast is chaos not poison

[still rock]

Unless vulnerability can go negative or further negative than the negative cap from Warbringer but I doubt that

[winged dragon]

spark lives!

[dusty bear]

yea but poison is phys/chaos?

[graceful grail]

Any1 here is playing titan with the Hammer of Gods? Every1 keep saying that titan is weak but it feels so strong, 1shots cruel doryani 1st phase

[obtuse ledge]

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

[rocky pilot]

poison is phys/chaos yes. 20% phys 20% chaos, but hexblast is not poison

[balmy fable]

there's a lot of builds that have that issue

[analog gale]

hmmm

hey chat

[rocky pilot]

so poison nodes will do nothing for hexblast

[balmy fable]

fire attacks have the same problem

but with pen + curse

[dusty bear]

um yea but it applies poison?

[analog gale]

you know how vaal orbs basically randomize affix values slightly

[round escarp]

chaos nodes dont affect poison damage

[rocky pilot]

hexblast does not apply poison

maybe you're making it do so? but it doesn't do it naturally

[dusty bear]

?? it does

if you get poison chance

like anything else

[rocky pilot]

poison skills... apply poison without poison chance

[balmy fable]

iirc not all of them

[rocky pilot]

if you want to add poison to hexblast then yeah, people coudl get poison chance

[analog gale]

i was wondering if they would increase an affix thats locked to 1% to like 1.15%

[royal cliff]

roger

[balmy fable]

the plant burst one doesnt

[analog gale]

seems like they dont

[balmy fable]

i think

[analog gale]

or if they can you cant see it on the item

[rocky pilot]

Vine arrow does but you poison it to then spread poison

[dusty bear]

ok anyway, the poison nodes are really far on tree so i'd only be taking the duration/+1 poison wheel and maybe the magnitude and recover life on kill one
and slap on a poison +1 stack support
would that be worth it?

[rocky pilot]

but theres no chance to poison, its guaranteed

[analog gale]

sorting corrupted lifesprigs by leech affix shows nothing

so is lifesprig basically just heal when you cast a spell?

[dusty bear]

yes

[burnt lily]

oh god i NEED THAT

[balmy fable]

ya i was thinking of toxic growth which scales with poison but isnt itself guarenteed to poison i think

[burnt lily]

But i am demon form bummer

[analog gale]

yeah it looks like it would make leveling spellcasters easier

[vestal heart]

what damage type does toxic growth do it says chaos tag but not damage conversion

[burnt lily]

I nerver seen that attributes before is it on the unique only ?

[rocky pilot]

probably when Shadow comes out, we'll get poison skills without guaranteed poison, maybe

[analog gale]

the leech thing

yeah thats a lifesprig only thing

[burnt lily]

Sad

[balmy fable]

whatever damage type your bow does

attacks that dont convert use your weapon damage

[vestal heart]

thx

[analog gale]

there is this which is basically like half of two blood mage nodes

[burnt lily]

hmmm everthing is good until i see the last attributes haha

but should still be good for demon form

[north talon]

Confirmed Rolling Slam aftershocks still do not deal damage :(

[lament plank]

hello i was looking if somebody who could give me a good duo synergy build that could work together well

[flint briar]

does Conduction actually do antyhing on Voltaic Mark?

[analog gale]

glacial bolt armor explosion is dead

[flint briar]

I don't know if it's best lol, but I'm playing the lightnign arrow ranger, and my wife is playing mercenary and doing the rapid fire electric shotgun stuff which is mega proccing my lightning pylons even faster than I can, it's insane

[quick trail]

anyone rocking stampede explosions? curiuos if it's still a thing now

[rocky pilot]

Toxic growth does poison which does Chaos damage

[lament plank]

what skill cuz i think that just got nerfed im not sure

[flint briar]

it didn't

[rocky pilot]

nothing on merc was nerfed

[flint briar]

I could just do lightning rod and nothing else and my wife's electric shotgun crap would annihilate everything haha

[rocky pilot]

mostly picking similar damage types is all you need, like vehementi's lightning ranger + lightning merc is very strong

you can also go Chaos damage witch + Poison ranger

Frost is a particularly strong combo for duos as well

[lament plank]

i just need something that synergises well together so i can lvl another caracter there just isn't any party or duo builds out

or the ones that are just got nerfed

[random sonnet]

New Tremors support kinda goes hard i think

[somber falcon]

Can i use this with crossbow?

[rocky pilot]

i mean mostly anything goes, its not that complicated really

[lament plank]

no

[static plinth]

No, crossbows are two-handed

[tidal copper]

Are bows two handed? I was wondering about that

[lament plank]

ye that just got nerfed ur teammate can't prock it anymore

[analog gale]

yeah

it would be quite hard to use two bows at once

[tidal copper]

They are changing my game too much
This two handed nodes didn't work back in my days

[analog gale]

thats because they said two handed melee

bows are two handed in poe1

[junior trail]

Does anyone know if 25% of chaos damage with hits will affect my Totems or only me

[analog gale]

from poe1

[north talon]

Somehow they made supercharged slam even worse. Despite it being the worst Stun punish for maces already.

[tidal copper]

Interesting that doubles the nodes I can add to my build
It's kinda good that I'd didn't realise though as I don't think concoctions will scale

[analog gale]

if your on pc you can hold alt and hover over stuff

[tidal copper]

Isn't it shift to see DPS increases?

[analog gale]

alt brings up descriptions

[flint briar]

patch notes don't mention beam or lightning rod, what are you referring to?

[analog gale]

you can also pin menus when you hold alt

so they will stay there even if you move your cursor away

[hoary geyser]

im thinking of trying a new build should i . 1) lightning crit monk 2) lightning arrow deadey 3)stormweaver

[rocky pilot]

For any chaos DOT enjoyers like me who are interested in Essence drain. The buffs were terrible as expected. 33% more on a terrible base damage means lv 20 essence drain went from 239 damage to 289 or so. It is still ridiculously low damage.

However hexblast was silently buffed to 592 base damage

[stable axle]

does sunder scale of attack speed or cast speed? Or do both help with the skill animation?

[rocky pilot]

Sunder uses the new "Total Attack Time" system. This essentially forces the skill to be slow no matter what amount of speed you get

[stable axle]

so i should respec out of the attack speed nodes in the passive tree?

[oblique birch]

how do i use those weapon skill point things in the passive tree?

[rocky pilot]

You can speed up everything before the animation. Just not the animation

[flint briar]

does Feathered Fletching work? my DPS is not changing when I equip or de-equip the +projcetile speed support gem

[north talon]

Is there any secret tech to making super charged slam not be bad?

[tidal copper]

#1308715317375270952
There should be a note there

[lament plank]

the lightning rod

[rocky pilot]

If you're using a bow, it's possible the node just doesn't get reflected on the DPS chart. But I'm not sure.

What skill isn't going up?

[flint briar]

right, how do you figure that got nerfed? patch notes say nothing of the sort. did you happen to observe it in game so you're saying that?

[flint briar]

lightning arrow say, or even bow shot

[rocky pilot]

The merc form of lightning rod got buffed

[mossy wave]

in terms of the 1:2 ratio, that means I should aim for 50% crit rate overall before starting to invest into crit damage correct? since crit damage is 100% to start with

[placid halo]

guys can you not refund passive skill tree attribute nodes???

[tidal copper]

Yes you don't even have to respect them to change them
Just tap them for a new attribute

[lament plank]

sorry it was magnetic salvo

[rocky pilot]

you can't refund if its connected to something and would break the tree, but you can respec them. to remove you need to make sure it won't break the tree connections

[lament plank]

can u send me ur build ?

[flint briar]

who me? basic barely optimized lightning arrow + lightnign rod spam. Idk what my wife is doing but she just uses lightnign shotgun to proc my lightning rods

[rocky pilot]

50% is a lot of crit to aim for without getting crit damage along the way, crit slows down very hard around 30% or so on quarterstaves, and then takes considerable investment to push it harder.

Regardless, in general its a mix of both. and most crit nodes will give crit damage as well.
You want as much crit damage and crit chance as you can get

[onyx vessel]

This with Supercharged Slam (think that's what it's called) could be nutty, though the skill is pretty slow

[rocky pilot]

the nerf to the charge speed leaves me completely confused. it was already so slow you had to charge to 2 for most packs

[onyx vessel]

They nerfed the charge speed??

Oh boy

[rocky pilot]

yeah. in exchange for way more damage scaling

to be fair they probably fixed it's damage issues

but it was really slow already. it had a faster speed for 2nd charge, and a slower speed when going to 3+. and even 2 was kinda barely fast enough

im a bit worried its a stun-only skill now, but it certainly will hit hard at max stacks + tremor

[robust radish]

Does projectile damage affect both the initial hit (the projectile) and the gas explosion of gas arrow?

[rocky pilot]

the projectile does no damage and does not hit people, just hits the ground. it likely affects the cloud which pretends to be a hit anyway

[mossy wave]

Oh I'm seeing that the critical hit chance is a percentage modifier on a base critical chance right, so even if I have a base of 15%, I would need effectively 300+% crit chance to reach "50%", which would skew the math more to critical damage

Is that correct?

[rocky pilot]

i don't know if the math adds up since i haven't done it and don't feel like it. but yeah crit chance is based on your base. but none of what you said indicates skewing in any direction. it is just mathematical fact

[mossy wave]

just skewing as in which passives to pick that is

[onyx vessel]

That said I think there are effects in the game, whether from gear, gems, or passives, that alter the base crit chance itself

[rocky pilot]

i will say in simple terms.

50% crit chance with 100% critical damage is trash
10% crit chance with 300% crit damage is trash
30% crit chance with 300% crit damage is good
50% crit chance with 300% crit damage is good

both are necessary

[mossy wave]

that's easier to remember haha

[rocky pilot]

and neither really skews in any direction, more crit damage is always good. crit chance is how you inflict it

[mossy wave]

I think once you mix in things that proc on crit, things get a bit messier though but the math on that is too much for me anyways

[rocky pilot]

yes, in general you want enough crit for those to trigger often yeah.
it also depends on the attacks per second. people trying to do cast on crit with icy strike will suck pretty much no matter what and will want really high crit to make it feel a bit better.

But with tempest flurry hitting like 6 times in a second, you don't need 100% crit chance to have good damage uptime.

[visual seal]

is any warrior in end game using the stampede exploding build? i think mine is having a issue or i did something wrong

[rocky pilot]

armour explosion was bugged and was fixed in this patch. i don't know what it looks like now

[visual seal]

no shit, the build got nerfed?

oooooof

[rocky pilot]

not a nerf. a bug fix.

it was exploding on itself. which made sense, since i knew something looked weird with how armour explosion was chaining super far. not even Infernal Blow could do that

[undone mortar]

I mean, a bug fix can be a nerf too

[visual seal]

yes its not chaining like before i can see it

[nimble blade]

Anybody have any early legendary suggestions for me for a new warrior?

[visual seal]

well it still chains but not as far

[tidal copper]

A bug fix can be a death sentence

[visual seal]

they can say whatever they want, it got nerfed 😄

[onyx vessel]

I have a quick clip of my stampede build (~20s) to show it in action against the act 2 cruel boss (if allowed). I think.. it's bugged

[robust radish]

Does that mean most of the dmg is fire damage?

If I get increased global physical dmg on a jewel, will it affect my bow base DPS which then converted into fire dmg via the explosion? Or will the phys dmg be wasted

[onyx vessel]

Volcanic fissure seems to loop proc with the jagged ground support

[bright urchin]

I could have swore I saw something that said along the lines of giving your aftershocks a chance to trigger twice, am I crazy or?

[rocky pilot]

Gas arrow does poison. the explosion is fire

[visual seal]

i feel squishy xD

[stoic geyser]

how is the new freeze build up? 2nd freeze onawards completly botched?

[soft lake]

Tremors support?

[tidal copper]

Damm with chaos resistance capped and everything

[robust radish]

Poison is... Chaos dmg? Or physical? Unsure what it scales off of

[soft lake]

It's chaos damage, but both physical and chaos hits apply to the poison magnitude

[visual seal]

they need to increase droprate of waystones

[rocky pilot]

its chaos damage that scales off of 20% Physical damage and 20% Chaos dmage

[onyx vessel]

God I'd like to know for sure too

[distant aspen]

is there a way to unsocket/replace runes in gear?

[visual seal]

no

[tidal copper]

You recicle the piece and recover one

[distant aspen]

the problem is I need the piece but I need to change my resists around

[robust radish]

This sounds like both physical and chaos dmg% affect poison

[oblique marlin]

folks i want to know what skills is best for fast movement in this game and how to improve them? I am thinking about Shield Charge + Leap Slam...
cast speed of Leap Slam is SO SLOWWW
any ways to improve it? cast speed support gem works only for spells... may be some notable passives? anyone know?

or any other good skill? There is no blink afaik, only Ball lightning + Lightning wrap, but its slower that combo i mentoned....

[onyx vessel]

Leap slam into an animation cancelled roll helps chain them quickly

[tidal copper]

Elemental DMG too if you wear the right unique

[soft lake]

This is from POE1

[onyx vessel]

It's how I get around on warrior

[robust radish]

No this is straight from poe2

[soft lake]

Ahh. But yes, physical and chaos damage both affect poison magnitude

[robust radish]

Huh? Elemental is neither phys or chaos, how can it affect

[soft lake]

if you wear the right unique

[gray ferry]

Gas arrow states that it poisons enemies as if hitting - but does this mean it inherently poisons, or do you still need to give it %poison chance?

[robust radish]

It poisons inherently

[gray ferry]

ok, ty

[flint grove]

I'm playing monk rn and I need help getting power charges during a boss since the only thing I'm using is contagion, combat frenzy im not too sure yet but is there any other way, also I lose way too much mana too quickly any way to help that?

[soft lake]

Inherent, I believe. Same as things like Incinerate inherently igniting

[onyx vessel]

palm strike generates a power charge but only on kill

[flint grove]

ik that but I need some during a solo boss but theres nothing to kill but the boss

[onyx vessel]

Which.. doesn't sound that great for bossing

Yea :/

[robust radish]

But I'm confused on how to best scale the dmg ...

Projectile dmg % affects both the poison and the fire dmg explosion
Fire dmg % only affects the explosion
Physical dmg % affects... Both the poison and the explosion because the explosion is converted from a physical hit?

[gray ferry]

It won't double dip, but poison magnitude is scaled from the hit that dealt it; it's just that only physical and chaos damage hits can apply poison normally

otherwise you need to scale ailment dmg

for the DoT if that's what was being talked about

[tidal copper]

You either go for the explosion or for the poison
And if you are exploding therefore destroying the poison

[robust radish]

I am exploding everything so yes the explosion is most of the dmg, but I imagine the poison dot contributes 10-30% or so

In single target at least

[fickle fiber]

can't say that tremor support is any good on a sunder if the main purpose is to use it when you got endurance charge + armor break. It does more dmg but over a longer period of time

[robust radish]

Cause the poison is maintained on the target while it's being constantly exploded

[tidal copper]

So we are investing in 10% of our DMG ? I feel there are some utility poison nodes

[slow heron]

in case anyone want's to see the difference, i'm level 74

[robust radish]

I'm just trying to understand the mechanic and value phys % vs fire % vs projectile % or attack % dmg for stay weights like on jewels

[oblique marlin]

ty, any buffs or skills for movement skills exists? like warcrys or auras?

[robust radish]

Looks like phys affects everything

Despite it not being a phys tagged skill

[soft lake]

Using a weapon with more physical damage will increase the base physical that's converted. But conversion happens before %increased damage from the tree, so getting %increased physical damage won't help with the explosion damage

[tidal copper]

What if your fire DMG scales the poison? Have you consider that from before?

[copper idol]

Anyone know of a way to prevent my skills from igniting? I know of Elemental Focus (& there's another that lets the skill consume ignites), but I'd rather find a unique or something rather than a support gem slot?

[oak jetty]

ok, it's not quite as ludicrous but armor explosion is absolutely fine

still great at clearing.

[robust radish]

Thank you that's what I was curious about, so a node that says % increased dmg for attacks does not effect the explosion dmg?

[onyx vessel]

I think Martial Tempo makes it faster

[robust radish]

Sorry meant to reply to you

[onyx vessel]

And of course passive nodes that help attack/skill speed c:

[rocky pilot]

Does anyone here have poisonous concoction and can confirm whether a bow in your left hand with +projectile skills still works with it?

[soft lake]

%increased attack damage will apply because it's damage type agnostic

[robust radish]

Ah right it affects explosion after

But global physical dmg % on my jewel won't help

Except the poison a little

[soft lake]

Correct

[last patio]

sigh, my ice monk certainly feels a lot less exciting to play after nerfs :/ it's not bad tho

[gray ferry]

Is the Iron Ring base with 1-4 added phys really worth later on?

[robust radish]

Thank you!

[soft lake]

"Increased physical damage" on a weapon (ie, a local modifier) will help, though

[robust radish]

That's a local mod right

What about added phys dmg to attacks e g. On a ring

[soft lake]

Yeah, that should work as well

[onyx vessel]

I find this counterintuitive x.x like shouldn't skill gems apply before passives

Idk find it weird

[robust radish]

I guess the ring dmg adds phys to the explosion after, not my base weapon hit?

[onyx vessel]

Sounds like for conversion, you want physical on wep and then passives on elemental

[molten wigeon]

any poison pathfinders maining pcoc?
do you just not wear any weapon with this?
is it even feasible to use this as bread and butter?

[visual seal]

how much resist do you guys take for the endgame

[robust radish]

Yee ok good I almost bought a jewel with phys dmg haha thank you

[soft lake]

Local mods affect the weapon, they're not global passive bonuses. So an "increased physical damage" mod on your weapon is affecting the base physical damage

[visual seal]

it seems there is a - on resist and idk how much i should be getting

my chaos is 75% but i need more everywhere else

[robust radish]

But the added physical dmg to attacks on a ring is after conversion and doesn't affect base weapon dmg yeah

So it's scaled a bit less than added phys dmg on your weapon

[onyx vessel]

No yea but like all the +% phys attack nodes I have would only apply post conversion it seems

[gray ferry]

you get -10 resist every act up to like -60%, you still want to ideally reach capped resistances

[soft lake]

I believe it should be before conversion

[gray ferry]

I think previously there were additionally -10 at T6 and T11 maps but that got scrapped just now

[brisk crystal]

need some help, my lighting resistance is negativa oO why?

[onyx vessel]

Did you get to a further act?

[gray ferry]

.

[brisk crystal]

i went to cruel. thtas why?

[onyx vessel]

Yup

Every new act it goes down by 10% across all resistances

[brisk crystal]

lol thank u sir

[soft lake]

What skill are you using? I was tempted to see if I could make a bow/crossbow work with armour explosions but I'm not sure if it's worth it now - probably better to go melee

[onyx vessel]

The fact you've gotten to cruel without resistance is wild lol nice job

[brisk crystal]

.loool

i was dying a lot

thats explain a lot

[thin shore]

does molten blast count as an attack or a spell?

[onyx vessel]

It's an attack

[timid cloud]

it is an attack that shoots projectile

check the tags on skill gems, it explain everything

[thin shore]

I guess this perk is pretty good with molten blast?

[rocky pilot]

i was actually contemplating this a ton. you would go Warbringer for global armourbreak and High velocity rounds to consume armor.

The problem i had with this was Crossbow has only 3 physical skills, 1 is rapid fire with no damage but good armor break, 1 is high velocity rounds which consumes armor break to hit like 900% damage scaling. real good but no way of multiplying damage due to needing to consume armor (No value in 2 shots)

and 3rd is Fragmentation, which doesn't have phys tag, but when it hits an ice wall it does 900% phys damage

[onyx vessel]

It's nuts with a shield yea. My giants blood build is moving into that. That node also affects damage (globally) so doesn't even care about if it's an attack or spell

[timid cloud]

it has nothing to do with that

[thin shore]

I want to play it with gemling so Its quite easy to pick up

[rocky pilot]

for bow they have almost zero physical skills, the most being Rain of arrows (trash damage and trash arrow speed), Snipe (basically high velocity rounds with no armor consumption) and Spiral volley, which is very strong but desparately wants frenzy charges

[thin shore]

... what do you mean? I wanted to run it with shield

[rocky pilot]

basically if you wanna do armor break bow/crossbow. your options are limited, and im worried it won't do good damage @soft lake but there are a few skill options

i think best option is phys bow + spiral salvo and tornado shot

[thin shore]

poison is physical afaik

mixed with... chaos?

[rocky pilot]

poison isn't physical, it scales on physical bow damage.
There is some physical components like Plague burst support gem and the occasional skill with a phys explosion like Plague bearer. it does not really get much value from armour

[timid cloud]

yea it's pretty op node with shield

[rocky pilot]

also poison does good but not spectacular damage. honestly it doesn't survive being run on a non-pathfinder

[onyx vessel]

Also I think links are allowed here. Anyone tried this before? Volcanic fissure + stampede (20s video)

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iHslzF9t6NE

[rocky pilot]

losing vine arrow hit the damage even harder to be honest

[thin shore]

I want a clone of myself to level up my molten blast strengthling

[crystal heart]

Is there any way to make the arrows from rain of arrow fall faster?

[thin shore]

theres projectile speed nodes

[spiral moth]

Does anyone know why Comet shows 1s cast time here but in skill bar it shows 1.41s?
When I've taken a lot faster cast faster cast nodes?

[crystal heart]

I thought proj speed only affects the travel distance

As in poe1

[thin shore]

ah then I have no clue

[rocky pilot]

projectile speed affects the speed of the arrow in all instances

[visual seal]

goddamn i need lightning resistance

[onyx vessel]

Maybe Fast Forward support? Makes skills 30% shorter

[rocky pilot]

also you can test this with a gem. projectile speed will make it shoot faster

[rocky pilot]

its not that much faster though to be honest. i would give rain of arrows more quality

the more arrows makes it fire faster too

[spiral moth]

oh, that really blows
How do we know the initial cast time?

[brazen pine]

Can anyonr ecommen da build where I can see wtf is happening on my screen. as little visual clutter as possible.

[atomic pier]

I wanted to go bloodmage but infernalist is way more OP and better for minions and everyone saying bloodmage is trash, will they ever add minion buffs/options for bloodmage or is everyone forced to only choose one choice?

[gray ferry]

I think it should be something like 2s base cast time

1.00 but +1

so 2

[spiral moth]

I see

kinda sucks that it's 1+1 instead of 2......

[oblique mantle]

so Im kinda bad at math, I decided to ask Chat GPT for help because the Stormweaver ascendancy that says that the storms have 150% Cooldown Recovery but chat GPT said this, any math person around to fix it? 😅

[gray ferry]

but if it's +1 to total it might also not be reduced yeah

[spiral moth]

it's not getting reduced

[gray ferry]

aye

[spiral moth]

I don't know why they wanted to make comet so "unplayable"

as standalone

[silver anvil]

i'm messing aroundwith voltaic grenade now and trying to find a nice skill that i can press while voltaic is on cooldown, any ideas?
was thinking of gas for corrosion but idk if armorbreak works for elemental damage

[gray ferry]

nerfed for trigger too rip

[rocky pilot]

the peopel saying Bloodmage is trash are wrong as usual, but you need to know what you're doing of course.

There is no ascendancy that specifically boosts minions, its just taking advantage of ascendancies that CAN boost them.

Infernalist is good for a lot of reasons. Blood mage doesn't really offer anything for minions

[onyx vessel]

You said it's 1.41s for your cast. If it's 1s base +1s due to the skill it should normally be 2s per cast

So your spell speed is affecting the modifiable value but not the other I guess

[last patio]

maps are the only endgame content right?

[gray ferry]

they invested in cast speed, which reduced the 1.00 base but not the +1 added

yeah

[onyx vessel]

Yea true

[oblique mantle]

is it unplayable though? or just not broken? they dont want fast clears like that build was doing although people keep finding ways to break it again

[onyx vessel]

Same with Rolling Slam for example. Always adds +1.5s to use time

[gray ferry]

the fast clear was using cast on freeze trigger

[rocky pilot]

Comet works fine yeah

[gray ferry]

but Weow is playing self cast

[oblique mantle]

sure but as self cast is it really bad? or just average?

[spiral moth]

basically everyone and their mothers is only using the skill with cast on freeze

[onyx vessel]

Which has been gutted from my understanding

[spiral moth]

The self stun is just unreal

[gray ferry]

yes

especially for comet, which takes a whopping 300 energy now

[spiral moth]

basically unplayable in any kind of swarm scenario

[gray ferry]

for a trigger

[rocky pilot]

it depends. if you're looking to use comet as a singular spell. thats not how PoE 2 is designed. skills like Comet and Hammer of the Gods and etc are designed to be untenable as main skills. They're basically your ultimates

[onyx vessel]

There are ways to increase energy gain right

[rocky pilot]

which is why cast on freeze comet was unacceptable

[oblique mantle]

so its not a numbers issue its a mechanic issue, that I see as problematic yes

[gray ferry]

at that point you ought to play like what hourglass comet

if you want to treat it like a hammer of the gods

big damage on a cd

[rocky pilot]

its already a hammer of the gods so no reason to play hourglass

[onyx vessel]

Hammer of the gods is so nasty with seismic cry

[rocky pilot]

chrono hammer of the gods is a build trying to push it as a one-button build. it doesn't work though. not a great build

[oblique mantle]

not a great build 66% of the time, those 33% where it procs its funny

[rocky pilot]

true

[gray ferry]

I'm sticking with ignite hammer of the gods to try and get the most out of its cooldown

[rocky pilot]

honestly i want to do a legit Boneshatter main build

i've seen Bleed and Ignite hammer of the gods go crazy

[onyx vessel]

Oh shit I actually wanted to know about that build. How are you igniting reliably?

[spiral moth]

If we have the freedom to play a skill without cd (because some skills definitely have them)
Might as well make it spamable if right conditions are met

[rocky pilot]

im choosing to wait for duelist before doing bleed. they gave almost zero bleed support on tree, so its likely all inside the ascendancy

[gray ferry]

Infernalist bringer of flame haha

[onyx vessel]

And are you going for the Lucky Hit passive

[gray ferry]

all damage ignites as long as I manage my heat level

[onyx vessel]

Ohhh okay interesting

[gray ferry]

I'm not super far in yet, only just finished campaign

but act 6 one drop was doing like ~2/3 boss hp except for the tankier ones

and my weapon is still only so-so

don't have the searing ignite support on it yet either

[oblique mantle]

but then its a skill gem issue, they need to add a CD and make it stronger, or make it spammable without impeding movement much

[stiff anchor]

What ascendacy could be good for poison Spark? Pathfinder or gemling

[gray ferry]

which one is that?

[spiral moth]

yeh just kind of venting with how limited comet design is right now, because the skill looks so gorgeous

[gray ferry]

I just see the one on tree for damage against low life enemies but that's too far for me to reach

and I do want to drop the hammer right from the get go

[oblique mantle]

not for me as I dont like ice but I understand your pain, I keep trying to make a Arc build work but I keep getting slapped on the face with how much better Spark is

[onyx vessel]

Shit, I don't remember the name of the notable but it's south/south-east on the tree

[gray ferry]

yeah I think that's the one against low life enemies

[onyx vessel]

It makes every hit "Lucky", rerolling each hit's proc chance twice and taking the favourable one

[spiral moth]

I mean Comet is 50% worse with faster cast rate than any other spell and has some of the slowest cast time to beghin with also

[gray ferry]

well there's one for lucky hits against low life enemies and one for lucky hits against heavy stunned enemies

[onyx vessel]

Ah true okay. In your case it sounds like ignite is guaranteed though which is crazy

[gray ferry]

yeah and I don't need to worry about a damage conversion to get it

it'll just take the full thing

[rocky pilot]

you should see slams my friend

[onyx vessel]

Unlike me with perfect strike ;c

[rocky pilot]

its even worse

[thin shore]

people were able to garantue ignite on monk with uniques, its kinda nutz

[spiral moth]

but at least it has 100% efficiency with it's "faster" stat

[rocky pilot]

Total Attack Time is GGG's kryptonite to ASPD. they've managed to guarantee skills be permanently slow

[fallen canyon]

Does anyone know what the combination of gems is with electric waves being released when using tempest flurry?

[oblique mantle]

Also have you guys tried Lightning Warp (Execute Teleport) with Unleash Support? If available enemies are close it chains making you teleport 3 times, so fun

[rocky pilot]

i dunno what you mean here but a ton of slams have guaranteed total attack time

[onyx vessel]

That's insane. Feel like I haven't seen one good melee unique other than the tower shield that heals 4% max life per block

[rocky pilot]

i will say that i wish i had given Boneshatter its own full build. its actually kind of incredible. and before tremor, i'd arguably say it was way better than slams on titan. with how little Aftershock they put in the game

[rocky pilot]

Most uniques until the pinnacle bosses were all centered on levelling. the strong ones are coming out now, and there is a very nifty 1h mace right now. and an amazing monk staff

but the uniques he's talking about is likely not "melee unique" specifically

[last patio]

just realized I haven't even been checking stats on uniques anymore cause I got used to feeling like most magics are better

[onyx vessel]

Damn I need to look into some of them. Only level 58 atm

[thin shore]

lol there are so many absolutely bonkers monk build that melt anything they touch

[rocky pilot]

both extremely good

you're not even remotely close to any time you should consider a unique weapon. they're for unique builds people reroll for in PoE 2 so far, not just a generic improvement to a build like before

[thin shore]

theyre for selling to the vendor

[rocky pilot]

i like that they've made rares very good now

[onyx vessel]

Okay ty that takes out a lot of stress for now

[rocky pilot]

+7 levels to types of spell gems is incredible

[robust radish]

to add more confusion.. what is the tooltip dps value for gas arrow counting? is it averaging poison dot + explosion damage per second or something?

i have 988.55 explosion dps, 1043.4 poison dps, and 759 arrow dps

i guess its a seperate initial arrow hit that counts, doesnt make sense otherwise

and my total dps is the sum of all 3 values on a single target boss (not counting the additional arrow overlapping explosions ig)

so my total dps is arrow dps + poison dps + (# of arrows * explosion dps) i guess?

[soft lake]

Sorry for a slightly slow reply! Well Warbringer lets any damage type break armour, so elemental works, too. Although obviously you don't benefit from the extra phys damage you'd get against enemies with broken armour, but it still lets you use Armour Explosion to significantly boost clear. But yeah, single-target could be an issue if you're not using a phys skill

There's also Flash Grenade, which could maybe actually be good for clearing if you can find a way around its cooldown(?).

Does Fragmentation hitting ice crystals not deal cold damage rather than phys?

[rocky pilot]

yeah elemental does it but it doesn't really matter. because elemental doesn't get any damage boost. Picking warbringer was specifically because it lets you use any skill to break armor, but the point that matters will be what actually takes advantage of it unfortunately

Fragmentation specifically does Phys damage when hitting ice crystals, and quality gives 20% more phys damage

its kind of weird

they forgot the phys tag, but its definitely phys. else it has a useless quality bonus

or it does the element of your weapon. but that will basically be phys

[soft lake]

It'll be this

But the in-game tooltip seems to think the ice crystals will explode for cold damage:

Which is what I would expect, also

[rocky pilot]

thats an ice crystal, not your shot

other skills create ice crystals and explain their damage when exploding

[real salmon]

alright i hate playing bonestorm, it's time to reroll my blood mage, what should i do?

[rocky pilot]

Armour explosion doesn't really have that much clear as you'd think
the older explosions were bugged and armour explosion is a pure 100% conversion of your phys damage, which is waaay lower than the warriors with 600 PDPS weapons

and still doesn't solve the problem of, why lower armor if your skill gets no damage from it. Personally i think a ranged armorbreaker with warbringer is going to be a Bow user due to bow's actually good phys skills

[onyx vessel]

Armour break with these nodes is good for any damage type though. I haven't seen any node cluster that rewards armour break as much as this one

[rocky pilot]

thats just a grand total of 100% increased damage unfortunately

[onyx vessel]

Without hulking form, +100%. With, +120%

[rocky pilot]

which is good but not good enough to plan a whole build around

[onyx vessel]

Ah, okay

[rocky pilot]

it really depends if someone can scale High-velocity rounds to an intense amount of damage, or take advantage of Fragmentation shot not consuming armor. and warbringer packing negative armour

i think armour explosion doesn't consume armour, so you do get some clear naturally as well

[sweet ledge]

New player. What's the best T4 spirit gem for ranger? Im between Herald of thunder or Plague bearer.

[soft lake]

Yeah, you're probably right about this

[onyx vessel]

Actually speaking of this, that support gem that consumes fully broken armour to deal +50% damage gets bonuses from the above nodes I'd assume?

[rocky pilot]

there is no best gem for anything, it depends on your build. if you're poison, every poison build should have plague bearer. if you're not then you can pick many things that are nice. Herald of thunder is only damage on kill, Gale force is more evasion and makes yo utake hits less option

[median kraken]

Depends on if you're doing lightning or poison stuff

[sweet ledge]

Thx guys

[rocky pilot]

This gem is good but takes up a slot and can't be used on skills that consume armour unfortunately. Even on my warrior i struggled to make space for this support gem without a 4-5 socket gem

but you would definitely take advantage of it, if you plan to consume armour

[onyx vessel]

I'm finding the same issue! You often want to keep armour break up so it feels clunky

[rocky pilot]

yeah. with warrior i couldn't justify using it when Sunder is so much better at consuming armor too

i think on a warbringer doing an armour break build, i'd rather take my 12-24 second duration negative armour and just go ham with phys

[onyx vessel]

Yea makes more sense to me

[soft lake]

Probably good for a Hammer Of The Gods-esque skill though, right?

[rocky pilot]

yeah i used it on that and alternated sometimes

[onyx vessel]

Yea but I find the supports that are good with hotg hit multiple times so the extra hits won't get the added damage to broken armour: Ingenuity (2 casts), Seismic Cry (aftershock won't deal as much as first), etc. idk what's best tbh

[rocky pilot]

i honestly wanna try armourbreaker warbringer.
Like negative armour break is by far going to be GIGA strong when we actually get the rest of melee.

But for now im very interested in seeing it work with crossbow. at first i thought it was worthless but finding out Fragmentation does humongous phys damage changed everything

the problem is fragmentation is not a map clear skill, so you still need to know what to use that clears maps

[rocky pilot]

this is fine, since it still hits very hard and you can't justify using most of the More Physical damage gems on Hammer of the Gods.
Consume broken armour gives you a huge dmage buff that normally won't be on your main skill

[soft lake]

I wonder if there's some potential for weapon swapping here

It'd depend on the passive tree, to some degree

[copper idol]

Anyone know if Armor Explosion damage scales with '#% Increased Damage with <Weapon Type>', assuming the skill I'm using uses that weapon type?

[soft lake]

It should do, yeah

[fathom thistle]

Is this a place where I can ask questions about how stats work?

[onyx vessel]

Yeah I guess the first strong hit that consumes armour would also then empower the next hits so it's still real strong

[rich oasis]

Is it just me or fireball now feels trash?

[onyx vessel]

Yes exile sibling

[rocky pilot]

definitely with bows or spells and stuff

or something, i dunno

[loud summit]

Anyone rocking a Flicker Strike build? Is Monk the best class for that?

[rocky pilot]

i dunno about clearing the map with a swap

[soft lake]

Obviously the skeleton of the passive tree would need to be the same because you don't get that many weapon swap points. But there's potential, I think

[fathom thistle]

1): What is the difference between regenerate #% life per second & +#% increased life regeneration rate?
2): How do they interact with each other?

[soft lake]

The latter is a multiplier on all forms of life regeneration

[onyx vessel]

Isn't it just the speed/rate

[burnt lily]

wait

[thick dune]

Wait if im reading the patch notes right, no builds where nuked this time, just tuned? GGG actually making mindful tweaks instead of just a blanket nerf?

[onyx vessel]

Whereas the first is regenning a percentage of max health? O.o

[burnt lily]

Isnt the first based on your max hp, and the latter increased % based on regeneration rate ?

[gray ferry]

regenerate % life per sec will add to your base life regen, and like loobkoob said the latter will boost it

but you can get life regen from other sources like gear, and the latter will boost that too

[soft lake]

If you have 1000 life, and then 2% regen per second on the tree, you will regenerate 20 life per second. If you then have 15 flat life regen on your gear, that will be 35 regen per second. %increased life regeneration rate will act as a multiplier for both, so 10% increased life regeneration rate would take your 35 per second to 38.5 per second in my example

[onyx vessel]

I seeee ty for the concise breakdown

[soft lake]

You might also come across "recovery rate" which is an even stronger multiplier because it also applies to recoup and leech

[stable hollow]

how to deal with mana cost with deadeye gas arrow

the mana cost is so high on higher lv

[desert glade]

is there a way i can be culling enemies with ice strike on monk?

[fathom thistle]

Thank you for the explanation 🙏
Trying to learn how all the stats work. The wiki is a lil inconsistent with explaining things

[kind nexus]

Ice Monk dead or still good?

[soft lake]

No problem! POE has a lot of different stats and moving parts so learning how it all interacts with each other is half the challenge

[fathom thistle]

Yeah. I really enjoy the depth of it but it's quite hard to find explanations that are barebones

[pearl scroll]

why would it be deaf

[onyx vessel]

Another question: does weapon elemental damage (like primal armament) apply itself to skills like HotG when using avatar of flame?

[kind nexus]

Bec of freeze nerf

[soft lake]

It does indeed!

[rocky pilot]

You have a few options

1. Invoker Monk with Crit + Lightning shock .
   This is the strongest and tankiest natural flicker but charge generation is a bit hard due to having to profane ritual for charges or Siphoning strike to get charges.

2. Invoker Monk with Call of the Brotherhood + Storm wave for freeze + Combat Frenzy + Resonator Keystone.
   This build requires at least money for Call of the brotherhood. It has really poor power charge generation BUT its effortless. It used to be 1 charge per 6 seconds, it is now 1 charge per 3-2 seconds. It's far stronger than it's Deadeye counterpart. but less charge gen.
   This is Part-time flicker due to no guaranteed max charges.

Much better uptime of charges, but less damage. This is honestly not a flicker striker and more of a Storm Wave build with the occasional flicker. The part-time Flickerstriker```

4. Voll's protector FlickerStriker.
   This is the only flicker-striker capable of 100% uptime of charges. you flicker, then you use any fast attacking critting skill and you're basically full again, and you flicker again.

This build can be done in a multitude of ways. WitchHunter for aggressive DPS and clear, effectively a mapblaster (but no defenses), Gemling + Pillar of the Caged God for serious str-stacking + damage. and possibly Chayula monk.

This build hasn't been done much, the defenses are hard to fill due to Voll's taking up your chest slot and monk having no armour nodes nearby.

5. Finally, Pillar of the Caged God, Str + Dex + int HOWA Gemling stacker. Likely the strongest flicker (strongest monk anything really). Omega oppressively expensive. Can easily use Voll's due to insane amounts of life making up for chest slot. Very tight on points and levels and ascendancy.

Hope this helps

[median kraken]

I'm playing cold sorc and things seem to be freezing just fine. Not sure how big the nerf was but doesn't feel like it killed anything

[kind nexus]

Nice

[craggy kraken]

Bosses too?

[soft lake]

The nerf is mostly just so there's an effective cooldown when a monster unfreezes before they can be frozen again, right? So you can't perma-freeze any more

[onyx vessel]

!? Even if my weapon is phys only? Is that a unique aspect of Avatar of Flame or is weapon elemental damage just ele damage from a weapon skill?

[spiral hornet]

Bruh ama need a new build for merc after patched

[onyx vessel]

I think I see why Avatar of Flame is so talked about end game. It's like it consolidates warrior's damage into one "buffable" value

[median kraken]

I think it might be that each time you freeze them it takes more to freeze them again. But yeah, mostly just harder to permafreeze bosses

[gray ferry]

Is there a way to make up for the remaining 25% damage that needs to be converted, or do you just have to deal with it?

[spiral hornet]

Trials are crazy fam I went to the final boss with the huge volcano freak with long ass health like what am I even supposed to do bruv

[loud summit]

@rocky pilot The Gemling Merc flicker sounds cool. Maybe ill level a grenade merc and later plan to switch to it when i can afford haha

[soft lake]

All sources of conversion happen before increases/more multipliers take effect. So your skill might have some built-in conversion on the gem, and Avatar Of Fire converts 75% of everything to fire. So yeah, anything that increases your fire damage (or damage for attacks, or for your weapon type, etc) will then take effect after the conversion (and therefore apply to all your damage, like you said)

[spiral hornet]

Will there be an app where we can check our character and équipements like warframe

[rocky pilot]

it is an extremely expensive build if you don't farm it yourself unfortunately
But yeah gemling can do it. most people would say you may as well just use a different skill and be stronger to be honest. but flicker is hopes and dreams

[soft lake]

You just have to deal with it. There are some skills with built-in phys-to-something conversion, so it's possible to convert all of your phys if you use one of those skills. But you will always lose the 25% of your cold, lightning and chaos damage (unless some unique item can convert those)

[thick dune]

Which class has more base movement speed without MS boots? demon form infernalist or ranger with tailwind?

[gray ferry]

I see

[spiral moth]

Do we have any defensive skills that either give you bunch of stun resistance or make you immune to damage for at least 1 sec?

[cobalt musk]

Do you guys know if elemental discharge damage gets scaled at all?

[gray ferry]

there's support gem for stun resistance while casting

[rocky pilot]

go back when you have more damage, and from now on know that sanctum is trash. every monster will be designed to do some wacky cheese skill that ruins your run with no input. the fire guy is your first taste where he will start the fight with a straight up 70% honour ripping attack for anyone who doesn't know its coming.

basically never get close until you've confirmed they're not sneak-attacking. and get enough damage to kill them fast

[gray ferry]

don't think we have dmg immunity in the style of poe1 immortal call

[spiral hornet]

Wait guys does lvl of the item matter more than stats or they match each other?

[robust radish]

why does this support affect my poison dps on gas arrow when poison is physical/chaos

[rocky pilot]

gem says it scales on your intelligence

[median kraken]

Level of the item only affects what mods can roll. Doesn't give any actual Power by itself, just means more potential

[rocky pilot]

if you mean whether supports can increase it. highly likely yes, any support gems in the same link will likely boost it

[spiral hornet]

Bro am a merc player who rolls a lot .I just have bad build ,I’ll try to lvl up more and get a better one.

[cobalt musk]

Yea but it also says as x element damage depending on the ailment removed, so if ele discharge deals 100 fire damage, does that fire damage scale with increased fire damage and etc from gear and the tree?

[onyx vessel]

Does your weapon have elemental damage maybe

[soft lake]

To expand on this, @spiral hornet, you can view how item level (ilvl) affects mod rolls here: https://poe2db.tw/us/Modifiers

[spiral hornet]

I see I got some items with crazy stats and wondered if it truly matters.Havnt gotten a unite crossbody yet but soon

[median kraken]

Uniques aren't always better. Often they're more situational but rares are better if you're not building around them.

[cobalt musk]

If it does that seems kind of strong cause ele storm can just proc it constantly if you set up a solar orb or flame wall

[median kraken]

Ele discharge has a 1 sec cooldown

Was disappointed when I found that out, had the same idea

[ionic citrus]

Anyone got a good Blood Witch build? (No minions) The Frost Wall got a Huge nerf and is now unplayable

[cobalt musk]

Yes I'm wondering if that 1 sec cd is offsetting the damage tick potential of discharge

[calm forge]

does event horizon kill you if you have ci?

[spiral hornet]

Still got to find a good crossbow in act 2 that is better than what I got and I don’t want to waste tools

[cobalt musk]

I probably need to do some testing

[median kraken]

What's wrong with frost wall? I've done a couple maps so far but still freezing everything just fine

[robust radish]

yeah it does

i guess that all counts as a hit that is converted into poison

however poison tooltip says only physical and chaos dmg portion of hits is converted

[spiral hornet]

That is damn nice

[leaden turtle]

Is there anyway to force lowlife in this game?

[onyx vessel]

All I've seen so far

[tribal salmon]

xd

[gray ferry]

no that would make you always full life

[tribal salmon]

hmmmm~1

[gray ferry]

you'd always be 1/1 or dead

[soft lake]

^

[soft lake]

Infernalist can do it with the life reservation ascendancy notables

I'm not sure about other options - there may be uniques that enable it but I've not looked at most of them yet

[gray ferry]

not quite forcing but there's a unique that makes you count as low life while on low mana

though there's no more mana reservation ofc

[soft lake]

Oh, the focus, yeah

[leaden turtle]

Unfortunately woudn't work for me either, I'm using a staff

[serene kiln]

currently running a chaos witch does chaos dmg% deal more DOT?

[junior anvil]

Is there a point on running exposure if I have

And a lot of crit

In other words, does exposure reduce an enemy below 0 resist?

[chilly mist]

why doesn't fast forward work with snipe? it's the exact kind of skill it's made for?

[indigo valley]

has anyone tested this ? How do you mitigate the Ignite on you ? I just got my 3rd ascendancy for Infernalist and no idea what to do. Beidat's will doesn't work for CI anyway, and the rest is just small notables that work. I am playing DD with Brutes

[tranquil quail]

If im going ice shot/freezing salvo / rain of arrows. Would point blank be the correct path or far shot as a deadeye?

[gray ferry]

fire resist will reduce ignite damage

could stack max fire res too

[robust radish]

does anyone have enemy resistance information? like do bosses still have 40% resistance like in poe 1

i heard resistance penetration doesnt work below 0% like it did in poe 1

[proud cedar]

so im level 35 in act3, really struggling with ED/contagion/despair witch build. have as many chaos nodes selected as possible. just feeling lackluster damage, dying a lot, even with dodgin fairly well. just cant outrun mob before they goon me, and DOT not killing fast enough - any ideas?

[indigo valley]

I guess I am good

[robust radish]

so that means resistance pen is basically USELESS unless enemies have a lot more resistances now than in poe 1 and you arent using curses like flammability

[normal fable]

What build to use on sorc for leveling? feel pretty weak w arc and spark

[gray ferry]

pen isn't that big if you can use things like curses

though curses are mana heavy in poe2

[snow sierra]

I guess i am good...the wasted ex thanks ggg :

[pearl sluice]

Tremors cracked wtf

[rapid wadi]

monks doing ok end game?

[weak kayak]

Is there a talent node that converts life to energy shield? Or is that an item? I see guys with 1 life and huge energy shield

[gray ferry]

the one life thing is chaos innoculation

[snow sierra]

1 life is CI

[plain osprey]

i really don't know what support gems to put into contagion and withering presence now, level 39 - 7str/51dex/107int

[gray ferry]

your max life is 1 but you are immune to chaos damage

[snow sierra]

but there are super good items too

[indigo valley]

this could lessen the ignite as well I think, maybe annoint it

[nova ember]

Doesnt convert, just removes life

[indigo valley]

But could be a waste of an anoint for that

[weak kayak]

Is that an item that does that? Or a talent?

[gray ferry]

there is an item that converts half your life to es

ghostwrithe i think

[fervent void]

Can anyone tell me where to find Sorcery Ward? I can’t find it in my skill gem’s

[nova ember]

Chaos inoculation

[snow sierra]

even better

[gray ferry]

how do you deal with the bypassing damage? 🤔

[snow sierra]

well the helm would be nice for a lifestacker thats is near the witch tree

to boost your ehp and use grim feast

[gray ferry]

I see

[snow sierra]

And for Ghostwrithe with poisen & chaos i just run chaos res and run MoM

600hp and 1400mana is enough of a buffer

[gray ferry]

ty

[snow sierra]

and since the helm dos not cost your life it can be kinda insane

[serene kiln]

anyone know if the Chaos damage like +19% chaos dmg also applies to DOT?

[gray ferry]

won't apply to poison but maybe chaos DoT?

[serene kiln]

i was more thinking the CHAOS DOT

[gray ferry]

I think i remember poe1 having DoT specific nodes but idk if we do here

sorry idk why i said poison twice

I meant chaos, brain fart

[indigo valley]

Wait I have max fire res and overcapped, I just testedd it, got the debuf and it wasn't leeching off of me ... maybe bugged ?

[last patio]

how does "chance" affect freeze? I thought freeze only happens thru freeze build up, not by chance

[fervent void]

Can anyone tell me where to find Sorcery Ward? I can’t tell if it’s a skill, passive etc

[serene kiln]

kek i took off my focus that gives me 35% chaos dmg and it did not affect the DoT for some reason

[gray ferry]

sorcery ward is a thing for one of the mercenary ascendencies

iirc

ascendency passive

witchhunter i believe

[normal fable]

Any sorcs got a leveling build? feels super weak, i know im doin something wrong cause my other chars went way easier then this lol

[obsidian grove]

is reduced attribute cost local or global?

[chilly mist]

so cold sorc wasn't even particularly strong, yet they just universally nerfed freezes without giving this build any kind of compensation when it already doesen't keep up with other sorc builds

[gray ferry]

spark + flame wall is good early on

idk what people like to do going mid to end game tho

[onyx vessel]

That must be bugged right like why wouldn't that work

[valid palm]

There's chaos innoculation, but it doesn't convert your life to the shield. It simply makes your max life 1 and makes you immune to chaos damage. The large shield they make themselves for their own survivability.

[main cedar]

Hey, playing bloodmage managed to get my crit hit chance to 80% and crit dmg to 300% which should I be focusing on now?

[valid palm]

Which of the two, you mean?

[main cedar]

yeh

[valid palm]

First of all, do you have 300% crit damage overall or 300% crit damage bonus?

Although I assume it's the former.

[main cedar]

313% bonus

[valid palm]

Definitely crit hit chance.

[valid palm]

However, wait.

Do you have your actual crit hit chance at 80%?

Or is it a crit hit chance increase of 80%?

[main cedar]

I mean all my skills show it at 80.25% so I assume so

and just my wand is giving my +98%

[half flame]

what is eternal youth does?

[regal wraith]

no acrobatics yet but once i get more ES itll be nice combined with ghost dance maybe

[valid palm]

Fair then. Go for the crit damage if you can get some bigger numbers there. At your current state 5% extra crit hit chance = 25% crit damage bonus, if you given me your numbers correctly.

[gray ferry]

Energy shield recharge instead applies to life, but life flask instead applies to energy shield

[half flame]

so you lose normal es recharge but you gain life flask work on es instead?, should i do it with ci?

[gray ferry]

I was thinking of maybe trying that

but didn't get to it yet

[wet mango]

i believe all resistances will show

[mental robin]

isn't acorbatics supposed to allow you to roll through aoes?

[wet mango]

correct, the ingame glossary on penetration explains this also

[wet mango]

it allows you to apply evasion/evade chance to AoEs

you do not have Iframes, and it has nothing to do with roll

[dawn spire]

Y'all, my ice shot barrage frenzy stacking chrono is back on the fucking menu. I'm so hyped to get home from this work trip

[last patio]

how does "chance" affect freeze? I thought freeze only happens thru freeze build up, not by chance

[mental robin]

so it does not enable my active roll to be able to evade all hits?

[wet mango]

correct, freeze is not chance related

(neither is chill)

[valid palm]

Chill and freeze are not chance related.

[last patio]

ok thanks, so that node is useless for me :/

much appreciated

[valid palm]

Yes, also the two small ones on the right are.

[wet mango]

acro has nothing to do with roll

[valid palm]

Hm. What are you trying to achieve with the node though?

24% increased damage against enemies afflicted by elemental ailments is still a good chunk.

[mental robin]

ah okay ty.
i thought it was similair to block in how its worded.
active block is like 100% block, but passive block constatnly applies.
i thought evade was smimalir.

[soft lake]

If you're dealing cold damage you will be chilling, though, so you will still benefit from the first line

[valid palm]

Even if you don't need the chance, the damage alone is worth it to go for.

[last patio]

I'm ice monk, leaning on this

[dawn spire]

Normally you can only evade (via the evasion stat, not dodge rolling) strikes and projectiles. Acro lets evasion apply to ALL hits at the cost of 70% of your evasion

[spiral moth]

Is you getting interrupted by projectiles / melee attacks only affected by Stun treshold or is there more to it?

Also how much would you need to not get interrupted by most projectiles/fast attacks?

[tulip fog]

anyone know if giants blood works with crossbows? or only melee weapons? (dont have my computer on right now so i dont remember the wording of the passive)

[robust radish]

i just see it on the modifier for a rare or boss but how much resistance do they actually have

idk how to get a % value from that

[wet mango]

the first half of dodge roll makes strike/proj miss you guaranteed. The back half has no "special evade frames".

Evasion in general only applies to strike/proj.
Acro keystone makes it also apply to AoE hits. No interaction with dodge roll.

[dawn spire]

It's only maces, swords, and axes I think

[wet mango]

on a rare it's like +30 or +40 maybe

[static plinth]

It specifies those yeah

[wet mango]

the silver icon is like 40% resist(?) and gold is maybe 75

[tulip fog]

okay, thats a bit sad, would have been cool if i could use a crossbow with 1 hand and shield in offhand

[wet mango]

I do think mobs have max 75 resist also

[last patio]

fair enough... i'll fish around and see if I can find better for heavy frost

[valid palm]

You don't just take this node of 20% freeze builup, you take it for ignoring resistances on frozen enemies.

[last patio]

yeah i deleted that message haha, i was looking at the wrong screenshot XD

[halcyon ether]

What’s looking like the best sanctum build now? Wanna shoot for a no hit.

[last patio]

didn't see the 24%e xtra damage

[valid palm]

I can help you out a bit, if you want. I'm running ice sorc so I went through the ice/freeze sections very thoroughly.

[restive totem]

Can someone tell me (For Sorc) if +% Energy Shield or +Flat Energy Shield is generally better?

[wet mango]

they combine together, you want both

[wet mango]

there is no +% energy shield, that's not a mod. Do you mean % incr energy shield?

[valid palm]

• flat shield contributes to the base shield amount which then used to calculate extra %shield, right?

[last patio]

ah it's fine, I appreciate it tho. I've been thru ice sorc before cast on freeze was gutted. + I'm not sure how far I can reach into sorc nodes. (also running herald of frost nodes, couldn't fit in screenshot)

[wet mango]

yes

[restive totem]

Yes, sory

[north talon]

If you have 0/0 Energy Shield, are you low on energy shield?

[wet mango]

sorry i'm being pendantic but there are 3 types of mods, +/incr/more and it is important to be clear which we're talking about

[soft lake]

No

[north talon]

So this node works if I have no ES then?

[last patio]

I wish I knew math so I could figure out whether it's better to focus on freeze build up vs cold damage with the heavy frost node (ignores ele resists when froze)

and I wish they could make slow/chill builds a thing, it doesn't make a difference because of how many enemies are hasted or leap. I wanted to make a chronomancer that slowed the whole screen to a crawl

[valid palm]

As far as I understand, you are still quite limited in your freezing abilities, especially because after a single freeze the threshold temporarily increases. Damage, as long as you don't overdo it, is generally more reliable imo.

[restive totem]

I'm just trying to understand the cheapest, and most obvious path for item upgrades. So I wasn't sure if I should be seeking out Increased Energy Shield (%) or Max Energy Shield

Sounds like a good balance of both though

[soft lake]

Erm, maybe... At face value, I'd say yes, but there may be some reason it doesn't work or isn't worth it so it may require testing

[valid palm]

Wdym "Make them a thing"? I'm literally making that build, xd.

[soft lake]

If you're talking items, you just want to look at the number at the top of the item - the mods are already factored into that

[last patio]

are you actually getting results? lol, maybe I didn't give it enough time

I was still in campaign at the time

I figured with all the chill I had and 20% slow from chronomancer and it still not making a noticable difference that it prob wasn't worthwhile

[gray ferry]

maybe try throwing temporal chains in there

[last patio]

I had planned to but gave up before then haha, i was pissed about the cast on freeze nerfs XD

[restive totem]

Appreciate the help

[last patio]

they haven't been a fan of ice, my frost monk just took a hit with the chain freeze nerf

I was 2 shotting entire screens with ice strike lol

[soft lake]

For example, this item. See how the energy shield value at the top is blue? That means it's already been modified by the modifiers that are local to the item (in this case, the +25 to maximum energy shield, so without that mod it would have been a 74 ES item)

[valid palm]

Probly your damage wasn't hitting the slow threshold? Really depends whether you had good damage and a nice amount of increased magnitude of chill you inflict. Plus I personally decided to go for the stormweaver with the heavy snows node so that I can slows for up to 70%.

[soft lake]

And this item has no energy shield modifiers so the value is shown in white

[wheat marlin]

How can I solve mana issues on monk early? Ice strike deletes my mana pool

[valid palm]

Never really considered chronomancer as suitable for my needs.

[valid palm]

What's cast on freeze?

[lime rampart]

does gas grenade on merc scale with weapon damage? if i pick up overwelm will it increase the damage by 40%

[last patio]

I never noticed this. Isn't regular chill a 50% slow? I'd guess you'd get 70% slow playing chronomancer as well right?

I find it hard to play anything that doesn't have chronomancer ascendencies lol. Once you get temporal rift it's stupid fun. there's a lot of skill ceiling for that skill

and the life recoup is insane

[pearl scroll]

There is nothing to scale armor in the tree like there is for evasion and ES?

[valid palm]

Slows from the chronomancer build are a separate thing, so you can get over 50%, yes. 50% is the basic limit for chill slow (Unless you run a specific node which I just mentioned).

[last patio]

i feel like chronomancer nodes are better suited for a monk build

[last patio]

cast on freeze is a meta skill where you can slot other skills in it to automatically proc after you've frozen enemies enough times. Previously you could get ice comet for every single freeze

[valid palm]

The slow itself has no limit, as far as the tooltip says.

[last patio]

right ok

so as far as slow builds go both ascendencies have the same potential

shame chronomancer doesn't have better nodes outside of temporal rift and recoup

[valid palm]

Ah, I see. I must've came in after the nerf so didn't really hear about it.

[valid palm]

I took stormweaver for the arcane surge and extra elemental exposure too, not just for slows, because for my build having enough cast speed is crucial. Ice sorc is too slow with her basic cast speeds, which means that I get a lot of value out of % decreasing them.

[last patio]

yeah it had a lot of super fun combo potential. I was slotting contagion and essence drain in cast on freeze for example

[spiral hornet]

Any new mercenary build?

[last patio]

and the chain freeze was a lot better till the last patch, that was fun as well T_T. They keep taking away everything i'm enjoying haha

[valid palm]

Well, it is kinda busted ngl.

Or rather, was.

[last patio]

fair enough lol

hmmmm I really do kinda wanna try a chaos monk now

I feel like my next 5 class builds are all gonna be chronomancer lol

[errant niche]

is stampede clear bricked? it feels like the armour explosion bug fix did something to my clear speed. or am i just coping

[atomic halo]

i mean it surely makes it worse

[last patio]

it would be really cool if later on they let you dip 2 nodes out of another ascendency

[atomic halo]

but "bricked" sounds like an overstatement

[atomic halo]

like forbidden flesh / forbidden flame from poe1?

[errant niche]

it's bricked if i stampede into a group of mobs and dont kill them and then die

[valid palm]

I get you, lol. I was planning to starting an ice monk, xd.

[last patio]

i didn't even know that was a thing! I hadn't played poe 1 since 2017 lol

[atomic halo]

that doesnt sound like the fix affects that

[north talon]

If you block a hit, do you still count as being hit for the purposes for things like gain rage when hit?

[soft lake]

Well the armour explosion doesn't chain off itself any more

[last patio]

obviously chrono takes a hit because it doesn't really have anything but utility, but the utility is really interesting. I hadn't experienced anything like this in an arpg

[errant niche]

but i wonder if the clear was dramatically better because the armour explosion could cause another armour explosion recursively, at least that's how i interpreted it

[vernal surge]

just spent 160k gold to brick my build after 2 hrs of theory crafting. T_T

[soft lake]

Yes, this is what they bug fixed

[errant niche]

yeah ok that's what i thought. so the clear speed definitely did get affected by the bug fix

thanks

[north talon]

I swapped builds because of it. On the bright side now I am playing wacky Resonating shield and boneshatter

[valid palm]

Imo as long as the utility allows you to stay alive and you're having fun with it, it's worth it. Even if it's not the for the highest DPS.

[soft lake]

It still looks very viable for clearing with from what I've seen, though, Just more reliant on AOE than before

[last patio]

yep

[lyric plank]

bro

[glad sinew]

hey, i cant seem to get that to work

Its installed and i see it in my toolbar but ingame it doesnt show anything

[glad sinew]

control + D on an item does nothing

[pearl sluice]

how should i get spirit as a monk? i need min of 150 for all my spirit gems

[soft lake]

Well you get 100 from the campaign, so you need to find 50 on your body armour/amulet

[pearl sluice]

oh cool, where do i get the other 70 from? im at act 2

[soft lake]

An act 3 sidequest and then the cruel act 3 version of the same sidequest

[pearl sluice]

what is the sidequest if i may ask? is it late into act 3?

[soft lake]

Tribal Vengeance, in a zone called the Azak Bog. Maybe a third of the way into act 3, I think?

[spiral moth]

Do we know if Frost Comet casting considers you moving or stationary in the "backswing" animation as you descend backwards from the cast?

[round escarp]

Bog Lady

[tiny brook]

what is "maximum physical damage" in regards to spells?

[rain dust]

Are there any other sources of converting phys damage to fire?

[round escarp]

Damn bro, we watched him line you up

[tribal egret]

With the destruction of the comet buildand auto cast thing, just how good is a full frost build while leveling and going into end game?

[soft lake]

Spells will do x - x damage. So if you have a spell that does 50 - 100 damage, it will pick a number between 50 and 100 each time it hits and that's how much damage the enemy will take. (So to find the average hit, you add the numbers together and divide by 2, so 75 average hit in this example)

[zinc quarry]

What does Elemental Ailment Threshold actually do? Thinking about that reward for the venom quest, that or mana regen.

[onyx vessel]

Underrated comment

[atomic halo]

when an enemy hits u your ailment threshold is checked against damage dealt

[half flame]

how much% is eva cap?

[atomic halo]

95%

[onyx vessel]

I think that would be awesome af

[half flame]

ty

[zinc quarry]

i dont understand this 😅

[atomic halo]

more ailment threshold = they need to deal more damage to inflict the ailment

[zinc quarry]

got it

[round escarp]

It's in Poe 1 with forbidden flesh and flame jewels

[onyx vessel]

Oh wow that's so cool. Is that similar to anointing in this game?

[round escarp]

They let you pick 1 node but you need the correct jewels for that node

[rain dust]

Are there any other sources of converting phys damage to fire?

[tiny brook]

oh I thought only attacks had that feature

[round escarp]

So some nodes are in really high demand while others are not

[analog gale]

wait

i got an idea

[onyx vessel]

Than?

[analog gale]

so the burden of shadows causes you to spend life instead of mana

so its like blood magic but you still have your mana

[atomic halo]

avatar of fire i assume

[shut quarry]

how did "Sunder My Enemies.." actually work?

[rain dust]

Avatar of fire.
Need another %25 to get full conversion for hammer of the gods

[analog gale]

so could you use mana tempest and then it doesnt increase in cost becuase you arent spending any mana

well thats if it lets you cast mana tempest

[atomic halo]

i couldnt find any other sources of fire convert

[soft lake]

You cannot, I believe

[atomic halo]

which is unfortunate

[analog gale]

apparently it wont let you cast it if you have pyromantic pact as an infernalist

[oak stream]

I've been experiementing with ferocity support on warrior in hopes of improving skill speed and making skills hit faster... I've been successful in generating frenzy charges. That said, when ferocity consumes the charge, it seems that any skill (including default mace strike) doesn't go faster. Anyone knows why?
