[dawn spire]

Unless otherwise stated

[latent dawn]

I'll have to say I'm not sure 100% on how it works

I think for something to need an accuracy check, it needs to be an attack from your weapon. The gas exploding would be area damage from that ground effect and not something that deals with any accuracy while a slam is from the weapon used

[frosty arrow]

What does acrobatics do

If this was the case you wouldn't need it to dodge aoe. I think?

[dawn spire]

Lets your evasion apply to area damage.

But that's monster vs player.

[latent dawn]

Accuracy is for "Strikes" and "Projectiles" - so the gas explosion is neither

while a slam is a Stirke

[dawn spire]

Wait, what? Can you screenshot this?

[latent dawn]

you can just hover "Evasion" keyword in game to see it

[frosty arrow]

Well all other calcs and mechanics seem to apply to both. Why make exception here

[dawn spire]

Is that true? Man I'm so out of the loop on melee stuff

If someone can just screenshot the accuracy and/or evasion hover tooltips that would help immensely

I'm on mobile atm

[latent dawn]

cant screen-cap while holding alt, so annoying lol

[dawn spire]

Hold alt, click it

Then screenshot

[latent dawn]

yea screenshot instead of crop tool, gimme a sec

[dawn spire]

Well, if you hold alt and click the keyword it pops it into a moveable window

[frosty arrow]

I'm out of the loop on most mechanics here, there's just so many components. Just trying to make sense of it. As I've said I'll keep not getting any accuracy, and by endgame I should or should not see any effect of it in my big Bada boom build

[atomic ruin]

whats a solid 3rd support gem for coldsnap currently have controlled destruction and elemental focus on

[dawn spire]

Okay, that's wild to me. What does evasion say?

Accuracy*

[latent dawn]

they refer back to each other pretty much

[dawn spire]

It seems like there's a discrepancy here though. Accuracy seems to just say "attacks" while evasion only works against strikes and projectiles.

Though I guess it still shakes out to accuracy not mattering for strikes and projectiles. Wild

[frosty arrow]

Explosion of an explosive shot isn't an attack. It's a secondary effect that triggers. I reckon if you miss with projectile it still lands somewhere and blows up

[dawn spire]

I have to hard disagree with that unless there's something on the gem that says it isn't an attack.

Though I guess poe1 had a secondary damage type

[frosty arrow]

Just like gas grenade's cloud and explosion isn't an attack. My two cents on it

[frosty arrow]

The projectile part is an attack. It has it's own damage for direct hit

Explosion happens after

[dawn spire]

So I wonder if storm caller arrow is the same way. Hm

[latent dawn]

yes and no, accuracy refers to attack but also says it checks against evasion and evasion says its used for strikes and projectiles

[frosty arrow]

Again, I don't know any better than you lol. It just seems to make sense this way to me

[dawn spire]

I gotta get ready for work, but this has opened my eyes. Thanks y'all. This game is a whole new beast

[latent dawn]

and yea its a good discussion but im not sure we can conclude 100% either way, its a good question to look into if someone can find the exact workings in the game

[frosty arrow]

Imma just continue testing by not getting accuracy. See what happens. Later in cruel I should start seeing lots of missed damage if it applies to explosions

I do no other damage pretty much

[full skiff]

What is the main, dmg increase multiplier to gas grenade?

[latent dawn]

poison is physical and chaos added together to determine its potency - and then dealt as chaos over time

[frosty arrow]

I think gas grenade is mostly useful as no hassle armor brake than source of damage

[hollow perch]

These nodes should apply to spells cast with staffs right?

[dawn spire]

Poison and physical damage of the hit, specifically.

There also some niche ways to make other damage types add to poison magnitude

[latent dawn]

no as the weapon isnt doing the damage, the spell skill is

[frosty arrow]

But maybe if you take witch and give her crossbow, with all the chaos nodes near her you could turn gas nade into DPS monster

[hollow perch]

ugh

yeah tht makes sense

[full skiff]

Thought so, so physical pump is jist the way to go with that, yeah i use poison gas as an armour breaker with armour explosion on, so if i wanted more dmg would have have to focus on somehow increase the explosion from armour explosion

[dawn spire]

No, "With two handed weapons" means using them to perform an attack.

"While wielding two handed weapons" applies to anything you do as long as a two hander is equipped

[latent dawn]

physical, poison magnitude, chaos dmg - but im not sure there is as much to do with poison on crossbow compared to bow

so scaling the poison grenade itself focus on physical yea

[frosty arrow]

Bruh, this game's passive tree is basically "let's argue about semantics". I love it

[latent dawn]

haha

[hollow perch]

oh yeah thats a fair disctinction. I figured since they are so literaly with attack on most other wordings it wouldnt mean that

[latent dawn]

im poison bow Monk

[hollow perch]

thats the fun part

[latent dawn]

also Plague Bearer poison nova is absolutely massive

giant doom fart

[elder spade]

does anyone know this rune name?

[full skiff]

Yeah thats the struggle, as i am mainly playing to HVR for bosses and just need a way to trash clear with gas at same time as using for armour strip since i dnt want to play meta explosive shot or detonate in that manner

[latent dawn]

not a rune, its a Soul Core

[hollow perch]

okay so if that doesnt work, will these nodes work with avatar of fire to increase spell damage?

[latent dawn]

check the exchange npc for the list of soul cores

[frosty arrow]

I use bow on my monk. It's in my secondary slot, for drip to just hang on my back. I want to make bow monk though. Looking at what you can get around his start there's options

[elder spade]

whaattt is that first time hearing it

[elder spade]

npc name?

[latent dawn]

they drop from ultimatum, not sure where else

[latent dawn]

are you in campaign or end game

[hollow perch]

high end rewards from ultimatium, npc is alva to get to exchange

[elder spade]

act 2 cruel

[hollow perch]

or any gamble guy

[latent dawn]

Risu npc should have the Exchange option

[elder spade]

thanks ive found itt

[elder spade]

expensive af 30 exalt

😭

[latent dawn]

I break armour with one poison, consume the armour debuff with another poison which then starts breaking again from the first poison

its a fun loop

[tough mantle]

i have a question how do i get multiple storm waves with the monk ?

[latent dawn]

yep, its in high demand

[hollow perch]

how do you break armor with poison?

[latent dawn]

the support gem

[frosty arrow]

You add passive to it

[latent dawn]

Corrosion support

[hollow perch]

oh it does enough dmg?

oh there is a specific poison support my b

[frosty arrow]

It does very much enough

[full skiff]

Is that because ur using stacking toxins node?

[latent dawn]

im all in on poison dmg

which is why my poison breaks armour

[hollow perch]

sry i had missed that there was a specific one for poison

[frosty arrow]

I'm not into poison at all, and most bosses still have armor brake from my gas. Some fatter ones may need two

[hollow perch]

80%?!

[frosty arrow]

It's just a super easy way to do it. Pop it and do something else

[latent dawn]

Corrosion to make the poison skill break armour
Exploit Weakness to consume that broken armour to deal 50% more dmg
And then the first poison skill continues breaking the armour again, etc

[hollow perch]

hmm maybe I should find a way to have my thorns poison

[latent dawn]

im using Bow so lots of poison options

[frosty arrow]

Are you using that aura that stores poison damage and blows novas?

[latent dawn]

yea

[hollow perch]

im technically a merc lol

[frosty arrow]

Awesome

[latent dawn]

plague bearer is absolutely amazing

the plague nova is extremely strong

[frosty arrow]

I'll have to try it

[full skiff]

Do you use the reald as well?

Herald

[latent dawn]

im focused on phys chaos and poison magnitude

the herald only spreads poison, it doesnt do anything else so I just use Contagion instead

[full skiff]

I c

[latent dawn]

im disappointed in herald of plague

wish it was more like herald of agony in poe1

[full skiff]

Ive got to end game but i have a gemling and witch hunter and want to play around with builds

[frosty arrow]

There's herald of plague? I didn't even notice

[full skiff]

Yeah

[frosty arrow]

Is it higher level one?

[latent dawn]

yea ranger spirit gem

[frosty arrow]

Tier 3?

[latent dawn]

2nd

[frosty arrow]

Ah

Do people call them tiers? Levels?

[latent dawn]

it does the same exact thing as one of the Pathfinder ascendancy nodes

Tiers yea

oh I guess they are levels

tier for support gems I guess

[full skiff]

Guess ima play around some more tonight, at least reduce gold cost on respec niw

[viral shard]

any gas cloud enjoyers? i feel like im doing a lot more damage without scattershot than with. do the xplosions not overlap?

[frosty arrow]

If only they made ascendancies re-speccable

[full skiff]

Loving gas cloud

[frosty arrow]

Not even for gold. Make me do trials to refund ascend points. I'll do it

[full skiff]

Yeah i had to build two mercs just for testing purposes

[frosty arrow]

I'm considering, gemling looks very interesting

Duplicating support gems opens up some shenanigans if you don't just use boring damage stat boosts

[full skiff]

Yeh gemling has huge potentional with weapon swap and wep points

[atomic ruin]

does frostbolt freeze faster at higher level gems or am i just getting placebod

[gusty bone]

Is total chance to bleed based on monster ailment threshold?

[oblique marlin]

whats the name of gem for +1 use?

[latent dawn]

type "limit" in the search I think?

[latent dawn]

wouldnt that depend on your freeze buildup and cold damage and not your level?

[oblique marlin]

Overabundance - supported skills have +1 to Limit. Can not be inserted into Blink

[stray breach]

the everlasting amulet calculations are wrong? its does not give you 29%
with eb, everlasting i get 4621 es ingame
without eb, with everlasting i get 9654 es ingame

[latent dawn]

ah hmm

[oblique marlin]

+30% CDR gem works, but still have cooldown after each use and distance is meh, not good for fast movement
lightning warp looks faster

[sterile spade]

THERE HAS TO BE A WAY TO CHANGE THIS

[novel ridge]

Anyone able to make chober chaber work? It feels like missing the scepter is death for the minion side, and having to spend so much on the attributes is death for the mace side. Level 44 gemling merc.

[stray breach]

anyone got how everlasting calculations are made? my calculations seems wrong:

[latent dawn]

yea thought you could have +1 use but the 30% CDR helps, not much else x:

[vast spear]

if i summon a totem using weapon set 1 that has +180% rarity on the shield and kill mobs while Im on weapon set 2. does the rarity from weapon set 1 apply or do i need the shield to be on weapon set 2?

[oblique marlin]

is there a totems or other buffs that increase movement speed?

[hollow perch]

What do you mean`?

[severe drum]

increased elemental damage modifier on weapons is local and only applies if that weapon has elemental damage, right?

[hollow perch]

no, its not

suprisinly

[severe drum]

is it global?

[oblique marlin]

from what ilvl 2-3 slot belts can appear?

[hollow perch]

any attack that does elm damage, as far as I can tell

[severe drum]

is there a wiki where I can find the info, I search wiki and I get strange results

[severe drum]

23 +1, 64 +2

[hollow perch]

o/w

with the fire dmg support gem

[severe drum]

I mean modifier on weapon

[hollow perch]

¨just quickest test I could run

yeah I equipped and unequipeed

this

[severe drum]

oh

then yeah

ty

[hollow perch]

np

ok what so reforging bench does not upgrade esseneces but shitfts them to a different essence if you use thre of the sam type?

[severe drum]

I thought reforge just rerolls a same rarity same base weapon

[hollow perch]

nah it seems to be a universal vendor recipe kinda

[severe drum]

btw what is calculated for dps in poe2 trade? I imagine it does not take critical damage bonus into the calculation, does it take critical hit chance? or does it just take attack speed + damage

[potent swift]

Is there a base ignite chance? When a node says that it increases ignite chance, is this global for all skills/spells or what? I already ignite a lot with sorceress, but where can I exactly see that chance

[stray breach]

i got it, global mana increase does not affect amount of converted es, raw mana -> 29% into es -> es scaled by tree

[pale vine]

Anyone seen a comparison of the damage from the Explosion for Poison Cloud vs the damage for Toxic Growth ?

[hollow perch]

1% bper 4% of monster base magnitude treshold

of fire dmg

[stoic isle]

Can spark hit the same target multiple times? If I have pierce that is*

[hollow perch]

Can I still leech life through suypport if im avatar of fire?

cant find any good resource on how conversion works for dmg modifiers and qualifiers

[rocky pilot]

for any poison enjoyers, Poison Conc is incredible now.
Bleed conc still has clear issues but actually does crazy damage, Shattering Conc is still mid as hell, Burning Conc is pog but i need to test whether Wildfire works on corpses.

Requiring mobs to be by a burning mob for 2 seconds to prolif is.. lame.

And lightning conc i didn't bother trying

[tulip fog]

is this magnitude? or what effect is increased?

[fickle thistle]

why does Electrocute Support not work on Shockburst rounds (Crossbow skill)??

[worldly stone]

grenade mercernary which ascendency should i go?

[wet mango]

I don't think they shotgun

[wet mango]

Magnitude

Hmmm

Maybe separate stat

Multiplicative with magnitude?

[tulip fog]

yeah, since it doesnt say magnitude

[wet mango]

Agree is sus/confusing haha

[tulip fog]

could be a node that was forgotten after a poison rework pre-early access launch

like, they reworked poison to have the magnitude stat and this specific node was somehow not changed to use the new stat? idk

just speculation

could always bug report it and see if its meant to be that way

[fervent talon]

I made a plan for my witch passive tree

can anyone take a look at it and tell me what you think?

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/passive-tree/5e5lo0n2

my first time planning a game with a skill tree this massive so I prob made some mistakes

[pure otter]

Does this make u cast bone storm faster?

[wet mango]

I think you're looking for arcane tempo (cast speed)

[pure otter]

Ty

[radiant saffron]

Not sure if this is the correct channel (will delete if its not) but its worth to add two runes - citaqualotl (30% elemental dmg) on this staff or wait till I get a better one.

[upper kayak]

Is there any reason a deadeye rogue LA would skip the bow tree?

[boreal quail]

can someone help me remember something? I remember hearing about extra damage to pin but i cant remember if it was a passive, a support etc I really cant remember lol

[tulip fog]

if i have this

does that mean i can apply multiple poison stacks with the same skill over multiple attacks or do i need to use different skills to apply those multiple attacks?

[tawdry trench]

Toss 3 scattershot poison concoctions and profit

[tulip fog]

thats what im thinking

but not sure if it works that way or if i gotta use different skills

[tawdry trench]

You can stack from same skill

[tulip fog]

also, the "overwhelming toxicity" ascendancy says it "doubles" your number of poison stacks, but what if i have this too? does it go to 4?

since double of 2 is 4

[static spade]

Hey guys, if I got the stat: Damage recoup as mana while having Mind over matter, does that mean getting hit would recover 50% of the damage? Or do I need to get a damage with my life?

[wet mango]

Absolutely terrible rune to socket. Flat or iron runes would be better (assuming your skill converts)

[midnight ridge]

Did they fix Rolling Slam aftershock? It is not doing damage at all

[wet mango]

Should be

[tulip fog]

nice if so

[hard jungle]

Is there a resource for stat priority and weight? Not sure I am optimizing my gear

[pearl sluice]

i have the 1% increase crit dmg bonus per 40 life, i have 2160+ health (=54% crit dmg), and 15% crit dmg more from skillpoints, which should be 69% crit dmg, but my spells only say 145% crit dmg??? why not 169...

[timid sable]

Is there a way to not instantly run out of mana on a boss? Like mana on hit or something?

[radiant saffron]

Isnt elemental damage the best on such weapons? We'll I play as a hybrid monk with cold/lightning

[thorny pasture]

I had a question, completely new to PoE really, if I wanted to do say an ignite build, can I just scale ignite dmg? or would I need a strong weapon aka physical damage to buff ignite?

[tulip fog]

get mana regen, a good mana flask and these nodes and you should be good, there is unfortunately no mana leech for spells or mana on hit, there is only mana on kill

[upper kayak]

@timid sable Ive seen mana on kill not sure about mana on hit

[mystic shard]

75% fire resist, 50% cold, 0% lightning and 10% chaos and no armour.

Isn't "max resistances" Max resistances is 75% all elements, + about 3000-6000 armour.

Ur build still good, it's just deceptive to say you have "max all resistances"

[magic stag]

guys, trial of chaos for the last asc that trial master key drops is random? between left right and middle?

[tulip fog]

ignite has a magnitude based on damage dealt, so yes you need a strong enough hit (from fire damage ideally) to get a good ignite going

[thorny pasture]

oh alright, as I was looking at Wylund's Stake and thoughht it'd be fun to run two of those and then just buff fire damage out the wazoo

[mystic shard]

Does anyone know if "Increase % life regeneration" affects recoup life?

Could recoup life be considered regen whilst active?

[tulip fog]

iirc recoup counts as "recovery" the same as what your life flasks gives you

so no they would not be affected

[patent dawn]

I heard the difference between ‘increased’ vs ‘more’ is additive vs. multiplicative. Do all additive increases stack together, or are they separate multipliers?

[floral patio]

Oh no I didn't know this lol

[tulip fog]

if the additive specifies that the enemy take x% increased damage then it counts as a multiplier, otherwise if im not missing any exception all additive modifiers should get +'ed together

[tender pecan]

Guys, so electrocute support gem works better now, but shock is also really useful would you guys recommend electrocute on Lightning Rod?

[fringe vale]

Anybody know if grim feast and eldritch battery works?

[timid sable]

Yeah same, mana on kill useless for bosses

[grand gorge]

any use keeping this colour rarity around?

[warm delta]

When will the trade website go back up?
https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2

[dusty gyro]

So. Clober Chaber with close to +400% Minion Damage witch. What is the best spell to use with very high increased damage?

Tbh, guessing fireball

[tulip fog]

unless you wanna save it for a future alt-character, then no, you can just sell it to an npc or salvage it for a chance fragment

[dusty gyro]

thinking of Giants' Blooding it along with a sceptar, if that works?

[grand gorge]

kk ty

[tulip fog]

sceptre? no, but maces works

[dusty gyro]

Ah, if you can't giants blood it along with a sceptar it is probably not worth it

[mortal tiger]

Hey guys! I'm currently playing a chaos witch, what should i go for in terms of defensive? Any recomendations?

[dusty gyro]

actually I know how to test this. CAn get the gloves that give giants blood cheaply

and test with a random 2h mace

you can 1h mace + scepter

[radiant saffron]

So its flat elemental dmg better than X amount % increased elemental dmg for a warstaff? For a lightning/ice monk

[tawdry trench]

Concoctions only use unarmed damage correct or do they use a weapon base also?

[floral patio]

Questions about Whispers of Doom, Blasphemy, and Hexblast. Once I can double curse someone, and I remove a stack of aura curses, which is the consumed? Do they rotate? Does the 2nd skill gem curse always apply and the first is getting consumed over and over?

[river berry]

any new builds show up after this last patch?

[tulip fog]

yes only unarmed

[near jewel]

the surrender tower shield - is it good for max block totems warrior?

[tulip fog]

question would be if they (concoction skills) are affected by global damage modifiers on main-hand or off-hand, probably not

[floral patio]

Full chaos is way more bananas

[dusty gyro]

Are they affected by + Projectiles on say a quiver or bow?

May still be able to shotgun more

[river berry]

hmm hexblast is bonkers in poe2?

[tulip fog]

they do gain damage from projectile damage bonuses from passives, but not sure if they get bonuses from equipped weapons/offhand

[floral patio]

not just that. All DoTs do 33% more damage, and the int curse skill gem was given 30% more damage - and removal of damage decrease for casting support gem

[signal vector]

Anyone send me screen shots of their lighting sorc build that’s updated or lead me to a post?

[latent dawn]

man the tree is tight, too many good things just out of reach

[river berry]

i must have missed this in the patch notes

[grand gorge]

how we looking for start of act 2

[azure maple]

Who can miss out on some lvl 1-8 spirit/skill/support gems 🙂

[latent dawn]

chaos spells were given a good boost they needed

[turbid mauve]

Does gems on Infernalist gear used to cover weak defenses? Is there anything else?

Runes*

[latent dawn]

Infernalist is the most defensive ascendancy, what weaknesses

[turbid mauve]

Resistances

[near jewel]

is this shield good for 70% block chance warrior who doesnt actively use / raise shield - shield just as a stat stick?

[gusty bone]

What is the effective damage increase of Tremors support?

[floral patio]

Increased the damage growth per level on Essence Drain, Contagion, Profane Ritual and Chaos Bolt (Wand Skill). Results in approximately 33% more damage at Gem Level 25.

[latent dawn]

You want suffixes on rings, belt, amulet, armour to get your resistances, runes if you have to but runes are usually better used to boost your energy shield

[turbid mauve]

Oh, so energy shield it is…

[latent dawn]

Energy shield is very strong right now, lots of good nodes on the skill tree to boost ES very high

[snow sierra]

I think the reason energy shield is rly strong is because you cant scale life in the tree

[tawdry trench]

Thanks was trying to understand the attack% scaling so if base is 100 and the attack% is 150% that's 150 base damage on skill additive with other +proj stuff.

[heady flower]

Is there any way to Build more Chaos resist? I get demolished by Range poison and on death Ground Chaos effects

[snow sierra]

please gg let me replace runes ;_;

[latent dawn]

yea I hate not being able to swap runes

[sonic peak]

sounds pretty decent if you're STR stacking

[snow sierra]

like with the patch i so hillarious overcapped

[latent dawn]

just like other resists, they are suffixes on armour and jewelry

[turbid mauve]

I have finally got Enfolding Dawn and Oaksworn for my Infernalist and wonder if i should add sockets for runes asap or wait till later

If now - energy shield and keep through endgame?

[latent dawn]

both those items you wont use at end game

[heady flower]

Yeah but then my other Stats went way down, is there a way through the skill tree with sorceress?

[latent dawn]

Chaos Inoculation (:

[sonic peak]

if it's really cheap you might want to try vaaling a few btw

[latent dawn]

otherwise there's maybe 1 or 2 nodes on the tree with chaos resist - thats all... and one with -13 chaos resist :p

[turbid mauve]

Oh, really? So uniques are not used at endgame? Tons of spirit seem to be nice 😉 100 from chest and 50 from shield

[snow sierra]

the chest is a huge waste

the shield you can use

[latent dawn]

yea the shield you might use longer but the chest you can get about 60 on end game chests and youll want end game resists and stats on your chest

[heady flower]

That’s way out of my reach sadly and I would Need way more Energy shield for thst

[latent dawn]

you picked up the +10 resist in campaign right?

[snow sierra]

like i use the shield still its very good if you can affort it imo

[latent dawn]

+10 chaos resist from Act 3 Cruel

[sonic peak]

wait what

where

[latent dawn]

the venom thing

[sonic peak]

the vaal one?

[latent dawn]

Venom Draught in Act 3 cruel

in the Venom Crypts

[sonic peak]

ah, ok

[heady flower]

Yes, but the Main Problem for me is groups that do Chaos Damage like poison they shoot at me when I Don‘t even See them and i‘m like instakill with 3-4 shots

[latent dawn]

+10 Chaos resist or +5 all stats or 15% reduced slowing potency on you

[sonic peak]

could also equip a chaos/poison charm

[latent dawn]

there are things that help protect you against poison as well

[heady flower]

Already have 😦

[sonic peak]

have you tried trading, or are you only using stuff that you find?

[static spade]

Core defense

[minor wadi]

do eternal youth and zealot’s oath work favorably together
or do you just not get recharge

[sonic peak]

you should be able to find something with your resists + chaos res in the trade site

[heady flower]

Yes but poison us just one example, in higher Tier Maps there is so much Chaos Damage Mobs

[sonic peak]

unless you're SSF

[latent dawn]

you should aim for 75% chaos resists like other resists anyway

[heady flower]

Yes did Trade but mostly got other Resistances, i‘m like at 60+ for every Résistance except Chaos

[analog gale]

so is there a cap on leech like there is in poe1?

[sonic peak]

ideally you should be 75 on all elemental resistances

chaos is the one you can be a bit more lax

50% chaos should be good enough

I highly recommend getting rings with double 'all elemental resistances'

[heady flower]

What really? There are like 60% Chaos Damage mobs in Maps

[latent dawn]

not sure on a cap, what was it in poe 1 ?

[sonic peak]

and then applying elemental quality to them

should give you ~25% in all resistances

[analog gale]

Maximum total Life Recovery per second from Leech

[static spade]

There is an item that boost elemental resist at the cost of reducing chaos resist

[latent dawn]

the character sheet doesnt list any line for Leech and I have leech on my character

[analog gale]

it was a cap of 10% at base in poe1, so you could leech up to 10% max life per second

[heady flower]

Yes but Chaos is Not Elemental Damage

[cinder bramble]

Does casting essence drain on target with essence drain on it reset the time until it will do "DoT" dmg?

[latent dawn]

there is "Mana Recovery per second from regeneration" but no "Mana recovery per second from leech" even though I leech mana (and my mana leech is instant)

[analog gale]

like even if you dealt a trillion damage you would only heal 10% hp per second

[sonic peak]

yes, but getting those 25% from a ring allows you to replace other pieces of gear

[latent dawn]

so im not sure how to even verify a cap right now

[near jewel]

4 div

[pale oak]

guys can sm1 tell me if this is a good build for the monk?

[sonic peak]

don't know abt res, but there's this

[pale oak]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/v326e0lt

[snow sierra]

no need to go this overbord with res on rings at the start

Like with the res change its rly easy to cap them

[heady flower]

But don‘t you get -50 or something on Maps or us that just for the campaign?

[sonic peak]

you do... so what?

you still want to cap resistances

[latent dawn]

Chaos resist does not have any penalty

[snow sierra]

-60 but you get 20 to all res from all quest so you are at -40

[static spade]

Its not that one, it reduces chaos resist for 30% elemental resist.

[heady flower]

Yeah so if you have 25 in rings you still have Zero over all

[latent dawn]

If you have no bonus anywhere, at end game you have

-40 Fire
-40 Cold
-40 Lightning
+10 Chaos (if you chose that reward in Campaign)

[sonic peak]

yes...?

[latent dawn]

you need 65 Chaos Resist throughout your gear, thats not that much vs 115 per other resist

[sonic peak]

it helps you get closer to 75

[snow sierra]

if you dont have capped ele res you will die

thats how it is in poe

[sonic peak]

ele res > chaos res

[snow sierra]

or other means of dealing with elemental dmg

[latent dawn]

they are definitely makign it harder in PoE2 right now without Resist auras that we had in PoE1 lol

and almost no resist on tree

its a bit insane

[sonic peak]

chaos res priority will depend on your build

[heady flower]

Ok if there‘s no way with skill tree I have to Look for equipment

[snow sierra]

its so easy with the new patch

[latent dawn]

Chonk gets easy Chaos Resist (if not CI) with double chaos resist and +10% max chaos

[heady flower]

Maybe for you who knows what he is Doing, i‘m just a casual

[latent dawn]

with the extra -20 penalty removed yea but still hard

[sonic peak]

just trade

[latent dawn]

it kind of forces your items to have so many resists everywhere and leaves very little room for other suffixes

[sonic peak]

search for stuff with at least 2 resistances

[heady flower]

I‘ll try, but specific stuff like that is getting really expensive

[snow sierra]

lemme help you

[sonic peak]

it's actually getting cheaper

[snow sierra]

gimme a moment

[sonic peak]

trade site is down

[near jewel]

do totems require accuracy? shockwave and ancestral with sunder? high acc / low accu - i canot see any difference

[analog gale]

i think im gonna ascend my witch as a blood mage instead of infernalist

[heady flower]

I Looked just earlier and all Equipment I searched were at least 5 exalt, some even 1-2 divine

[analog gale]

ive got a build i wanna try out

[snow sierra]

no you searched wrong

you can easly cap your res with 1 ex per item

[analog gale]

cant wait to gain 3% increased life until i do my second trial

[sonic peak]

just so we can help you, what element is your main source of dmg?

[analog gale]

are you using the weighted sum v2 option on the trade site?

wait does ps4 use the trade site?

[heady flower]

Yes if you only Look for res, but I also Need Energy shield, spell Damage and cast Speed f.e.

[heady flower]

Lightning

[opaque bluff]

Am i right in thinking pen cant make resisitances negative, but curses/exposure potentially can?

[snow sierra]

lol going the i need a premium item

[sonic peak]

pretty decent out of the box

[snow sierra]

like dmg on most items are just premium

[brisk crag]

Did the concoction changes do anything for pathfinder?

[heady flower]

Yeah Like I Said 5 exalt…

[sonic peak]

let me see if I can find something for 1ex

:(

[heady flower]

But I already have a similiar Ring

I think my armor is the main Problem

[sonic peak]

if you're not res capped, res is your problem

[heady flower]

Yeah Like I Said ^^

[sonic peak]

res + HP if you're not CI

[snow sierra]

And if you are energy shield a real shield to block helps immensly if you can

[sweet lichen]

For a skill like freezing shards (7 projectiles spread) does each projectile have its own crit chance, or is the 'attack' rolling the crit chance?

[snow sierra]

like if you use a staff thats no option ofc

[sonic peak]

they really need to beef up those trading servers 😭

[snow sierra]

ye the trade side is dieing xD

[sonic peak]

ye, every hour or so

[turbid mauve]

Oh, i see. What runes should i use on that uniques then? I am still using a scepter from act1 since it has everything including +spirit and +minion skills bonus

[snow sierra]

its getting rly bad, i would assume there are insane bots running on it too

[floral patio]

Too many people hunting for those perfect rolls refreshing lol

[snow sierra]

And i bet bots too

[floral patio]

I already got the best belt guys quit looking

Could've done without the thorns but I'll take it for how hard chaos resist is to get

[snow sierra]

No life and no Str 😦

how should i scale my energy shield without it

[floral patio]

AoC Monk baby dont need

Probably why it was reasonably affordable

[snow sierra]

ye

[sonic peak]

out of curiosity, why AoC doesn't need HP?

[clear sluice]

Does skill speed appear as a non unique mod on any items?

[sonic peak]

u can search here, but I don't think so
https://poe2db.tw/us/Modifiers

[floral patio]

Ideally you have 1 hp and chaos resistance - damage from mana first passive - darkness bar replaces spirit - with reserved darkness you are taking hits to that and then mana

[near jewel]

there is some accuracy description in totems...BUT do u think they need accuracy rating? i place 1 totem, kite mobs around it it goes off all dead..with accu rating at 70 % it should be a disaster, at it was in poe1 BUT with varriors...with totems ballistas in poe1 i never car ed about accureacy neither....

[clear sluice]

Thanke

[snow sierra]

i got this one its kinda nice too

[floral patio]

That's a good str belt for sure

[sonic peak]

...isn't that just a worse CI setup?

since it's not immunity

like, if you're not getting HP might as well get CI

[floral patio]

It uses CI too but the AoC of the Monk acendency adds % dmg increases for the amount of reserved life towards darkness. If you have 1 hp its always max

[heady flower]

Where do I get that? There is only specific stuff for quality Not elemental Overall

[analog gale]

how much evasion rating can you get?

[jade sequoia]

any suggestions on how to get to 250 str 300 int and still get defences and minion dmg nodes?

[sonic peak]

reserved life? let me recheck chayula

[snow sierra]

CI in poe2 is overrated anyway 😄

[floral patio]

At 450 darkness at lvl 70 with 1% extra dmg for every 20 reserved

[sonic peak]

breach

[sonic peak]

but how do you reserve HP?

[heady flower]

What is That? I‘m a casual like I Said before

[sonic peak]

the purple hands on your maps

I'm assuming you reached maps already?

or are you still going through cruel?

[floral patio]

Take no hp damage taking mana damage first and energy shield conversion to more hp. Its a lot of mana staking that I haven't gotten high high into

[snow sierra]

I totaly dont get how these breach ring work i have a bunch of them^^

[heady flower]

Yes, but I want to know what Ressource i Need for the quality. At currency Exchange I can’t find it

[sonic peak]

ah yes, that's what I remember. that doesn't reserve HP tho

[latent dawn]

usually just +life for low level items

[sonic peak]

and like, having 1HP wouldn't change this at all

[unique lava]

is the website down?

[sonic peak]

unless I'm missing something

[snow sierra]

just use this to reserve stuff for energy shield 😄

[sonic peak]

don't have the game open right now, but they're a bunch of orbs that mention 'increases quality of rings/amulets'

[floral patio]

You don't want any reserved darkness

[snow sierra]

its like a 1100 energy shield armor for me lol

[heady flower]

Yes that are the catalysts, but there is Non that says „elemental“ just specific ones for fire, Cold and Lightning

[sonic peak]

they have no implicits, but you can raise their quality with breach items up to 50%
so, while a normal ring with 100HP might get up to 20% (120HP), breach rings would be able to scale it to 50% (150)

[turbid mauve]

Hmm… so far only poison hits life portion past es. So life is the way to go on Infernalist before hitting endgame?

[sonic peak]

ah yeah, here's the strat:
https://x.com/NeverSinkDev/status/1868732829439561798

NeverSink (@NeverSinkDev) on X

PoE 2 - Item Hack #1

Capping resists is hard. Here's how to make it a bit simpler

- Catalysts are cheap (4ex for 20% on a ring)
- MOST IMPORTANT: AllResists%" counts as fire/cold/light
- Ring with the same Implicit/Explicit Element and a "AllResist" gains 2x/3x+ benefit.

Twitter · Dec 16, 2024, 7:00 PM

https://x.com/NeverSinkDev/status/1868736907867570658

NeverSink (@NeverSinkDev) on X

To paraphrase:

You want a:

AllRes (implicit) + SpecificResists + AllRes (explicit) ring
OR
SpecificResist + AllRes (explicit) + SameResist

You can also boost damage mods (such as fire%damage or fire flat damage)

Twitter · Dec 16, 2024, 7:16 PM

ring can also have 'added dmg' instead of specific ele res

[proven rapids]

you can achieve 20k pretty easily I believe

[sonic peak]

so...

1. try to find a ring with double all res + either 'cold res' or 'added cold res'
2. improve cold quality up to 20%
3. it'll also increase the 'all res' quality

[floral patio]

Mob damages you and your mana will take the hit, before any darkness because it takes darkness reservation from Life or Energy Shield damage. So your defensive barrier is your mana pool then the 450 darkness at 70. Don't need to stack too much life in that case. Without optimizing for passives to increase mana Im at 1200 and ideally chaos immunity. As I get higher up I'll fine tune it

[snow sierra]

so this one can be even more bonkers ?

[thorn cargo]

is this a good one for inferalist summoner? don't care about the price pls

[peak mango]

is avatar of fire worth it on warrior? im trying to deal as much dmg as possible with perfect strike

[trail vine]

Hello has anyone here tried out the Assailum unique? I'm wondering if it can allow you to reduce the time needed to channel a skill to the perfect timing window

[snow sierra]

No , its not a rattleling zepter and its not +4 or even +5

[trail vine]

OR if it only allows you to hold the skill longer

[sonic peak]

yes! you can either use the one that increases 'lightning mods' (it'll increase the light res and added lightning dmg) or 'cold res' (it'll increase cold res) and you'll also get +2~3 all res!

[snow sierra]

Omg...even more res...i gonna shoot myself

[sonic peak]

xDD

[snow sierra]

i invested way to heavly into res

[thorn cargo]

isn't skeleton warrior are only punch bag? I though the endgame build are only focus on Arsonists

[sonic peak]

well, that'll make it easier to upgrade the rest of your gear

[tacit gust]

does % increased lightning damage on ring apply to monk lightning skills/attacks?

[sharp fable]

Hello! I'm trying to type in the "build help" channel for sorc but it isn't letting me, anyone know why?

[snow sierra]

its a offering bag so you dont take your dmg minions out

[pure fox]

Whats the best monk build now? Level 50

[thorn cargo]

I'm sorry what does that mean

[snow sierra]

this is a decent zepter kinda mid tho, low spirit and +5 exist

[clear sluice]

Gemling skill speed stacker idea 💡

88 points

[snow sierra]

you want to use pain offering and you need to offer a minion for that

[thorn cargo]

Ah that right but I can't adjust number of the skeleton right? it always 2

[magic kite]

Can you anoint an amulet that has already been anointed?

[sonic peak]

what skill do you plan to use with all that skill speed?

[snow sierra]

The skeletons from the scepter are just free

Every other scepter is just bad imo

[clear sluice]

Leap slam and ⚡

[floral patio]

Does Area of Effect to spell skills increase an aura's radius?

[snow sierra]

you can even use bone offering on them too

[thorn cargo]

Oh I thought it cost your spirit, sorry

[snow sierra]

nope thats why they are so good

[tulip fog]

i wonder, does this affect poison duration?

[snow sierra]

and why everyone wants a rattling scepter

[sonic peak]

don't think so, there are specific 'presence' modifiers in the tree that work that way

[sonic peak]

it doesn't

[tulip fog]

okay, thanks

[sonic peak]

I think there's a poison skill that specifically mentions it does

[clear sluice]

Now I need to look at skill speed uniques

[sonic peak]

don't remember if it's gas arrow or the lvl 1 one

[thorn cargo]

So the main priority is ratting sceptre, have a lot of base spirit, +4 minion skill, have a lot of % spirit?

[sonic peak]

but in general it doesn't

[sonic peak]

+5

ideally

[snow sierra]

well yes if price dont matter to you +5 even

[sonic peak]

https://poe2db.tw/us/Sceptres#ModifiersCalc

[snow sierra]

but that cost you a arm and a leg and your firstborn

[sharp fable]

I'm playing shock stormweaver and I kind of want to change build, I'm having trouble scaling everything... any suggestions for a different build? level 78

[sonic peak]

I'm guessing this is also good, but I haven't checked minion builds yet

don't know how far default presence is

[snow sierra]

like half of the screen

8m or something

[thorn cargo]

Thank you so much

[peak mango]

is avatar of fire worth it on warrior? im trying to deal as much dmg as possible with perfect strike

[cinder bramble]

is it just me or does the quality up for dark effigy dont work? it does not apply withered for me

[static thicket]

Currently trying a merc/witch hunter spark build. Anyone have an idea on how to manage mana better? Currently thinking I'm gonna just have to chug mana flask or get mana regen on gear.

[snow sierra]

but rember you have to get +2 on amulett and helm too as a minion build and a amulett with spirit and +2 will cost you big again

[static thicket]

Currently the mana chug route doesn't seem to bad. You can get like around .4 charges a second which would likely help significantly.

[analog gale]

would kaoms heart be any good as a blood mage or is losing all your spirit just not worth it?

[snow sierra]

doubt blood mage can specc that he gets life from es armors

[analog gale]

so 40% ms

[thorn cargo]

Is there anything else I should get for these two?

[snow sierra]

so it will be the worst on bloodmage most likely

[static spade]

What's the best way to get my fire resist to 90%?

[thorn cargo]

Like maxium hp, maxium mana

[sonic peak]

maybe if you can't get that node that grants life from ES

[snow sierra]

cant say, depends on your build

[sonic peak]

like if going for ele bleed build

[clear sluice]

Does skill speed appear on gems? So far I can only find skill speed on uniques and skill tree

[livid hamlet]

But that costs you ascendancy points

[analog gale]

oh yeah

i forgot thats a thing

[sonic peak]

if you're just doing a default bloodmage build, you'll prob take that node, so not worth it

[livid hamlet]

Which means you either loose leech , which is a hard loss

or you lose crit multi

which is also nice

[analog gale]

its not exactly a lot of crit multi tho

75% increased crit multi at 3000 life

[livid hamlet]

With Kaom's you can easily have like 4,5k life as a bloodmage probably

which means that's like 125% crit multi

[gusty bone]

Can Minion's HP reach 100k?

[analog gale]

thats like 5 small passive crit multi nodes

[tulip fog]

what non-ailment damage over time exists?

[livid hamlet]

I don't think there's that much to use spirit on as a bloodmage

[analog gale]

contaigon?

[livid hamlet]

minions are nice for offering

[snow sierra]

capping res is rly important, but you can use your other gear for that

[sonic peak]

man, I always forget bloodmage can only get 3 notables instead of 4, sucks so much :(

[livid hamlet]

It's 2 actually

because of how much is leech necessary

[snow sierra]

doubt i seen bloodmage do well without leech

[sonic peak]

you don't need the leech depending on your build

[tulip fog]

hmm, thats only 1 though, seems odd to have a support for just a single attack/spell

[lofty fox]

Does anyone know how to figure out which one gives me more effective HP? - The yellow chest gives me 100 hp and +450 energy shield when I put it on. - I know I'm gonna get less energy shield from the one on the right but that's some crazy armor, evasion, and stun threshold.

[livid hamlet]

i guess you can try dealing with the costs some other way

[livid hamlet]

That's fair , if you don't use too much mana

you can ignore that

[static spade]

Corrupt blood is one

[sonic peak]

they really need to add something extra to the first notable tho

reduced skill cost would be an easy fix

[livid hamlet]

Please don't

[sonic peak]

10~20%

[livid hamlet]

that would ruin my build

[tulip fog]

can you apply corrupted blood yourself onto enemies?

[livid hamlet]

well my planned build

[snow sierra]

Or have another solution to your mana, if you do a 2000ex build you might aswell have one

[analog gale]

just get ggg to remove the travel nodes

[livid hamlet]

I would prefer they just buffed the blood orbs

Increase the llife recovery

and pickup range

maybe CD on spawning them with crit

that would be so good tbh

[thorn cargo]

All of them? fire, lighting, cold and chaos?

[static spade]

I've seen it on support skill gem

[livid hamlet]

right now it's literally just a liabillity

[analog gale]

make spending life vacuum them towards you

[sonic peak]

I think the recovery is fine, but yeah, increased range would be awesome

OR

[livid hamlet]

cause you are never really overflow

[snow sierra]

i would like to see if they split the cost 50/50 and not double it

[sonic peak]

they only drop on kill

on crit you insta-heal

without needing to take the orbs

maybe a nerfed heal, but still

[livid hamlet]

That would be way too broken

[livid hamlet]

already bought it

[snow sierra]

all ele, chaos is nice to have or not needed depending on your build but for endgame if you are not CI you should aim for atleast 50% chaos res maybe even more

[analog gale]

on crit you insta heal

[sonic peak]

increased range alone would already be great

[thorn cargo]

Thank you so much, I will remember those

[snow sierra]

snip my minion chronomancer ^^

[livid hamlet]

Is the recovery nice late game ?

[thorn cargo]

I wish

[livid hamlet]

No matter what, they defo need to lower the on crit CD

cause right now you will just kill yourself at a boss

[sonic peak]

chaos is reaaaly important if you're not CI and ES focused, since it eats it twice as fast

[livid hamlet]

if you don't take leech

[sonic peak]

not that hard to get with trading!

[livid hamlet]

Still i really hope my Burden of Shadows life cost stacking Blood Mage will work

[thorn cargo]

May I ask what is CI and ES? I'm new and have never play POE1 before

[sonic peak]

CI = Chaos Inoculation
your HP is fixed at 1, but you're immune to chaos damage

ES = Energy Shield

[livid hamlet]

I was even thinking of getting the covenant for more life cost of skills

[thorn cargo]

Oh thank you

[sonic peak]

this bad boy

[snow sierra]

i love to make these work on bloodmage but it seems impossible to substains those

[sonic peak]

of course, if you take this you need to stack a shit ton of energy shield

[snow sierra]

nohhhh

focus are a bait imo

[livid hamlet]

I would probably just go Soul Tether TBH

[snow sierra]

block is so strong

[nova crown]

is critical dmg cool as a monk? caus i want to build a crit build but is it realy usefuö?

[dusty gyro]

Hrm. I wonder if Koam's Heart Chaos Monk would work? Since Darkness and Koams both remove spirit.

[thorn cargo]

Ain't that we will need a lot of hp for this? I think its a useful node

[snow sierra]

wont work with it

[livid hamlet]

Yeah you remove the downside

[feral halo]

has anyone found a fix for the game freezing entire computer when loading into a new zone or logging in? it only happens when I stream

[snow sierra]

if you do that you need ci and very good gear cause you need to do a hybrit build

[lofty fox]

Can anyone explain how this is possible?

[static spade]

I'm going to use mind over matter for it

[static spade]

Along with these

[sonic peak]

yeah, it's bad if you take CI
but a lot of infernalists take this node, since 20% phys is converted to chaos, and you're immune to chaos xD

[static spade]

And I'm trying to max my fire damage to maximum

[thorn cargo]

zamn

this is big brain time

[snow sierra]

oh right thats neat

[thorn cargo]

So what should I build if I don't take the CI node?

Like energy shield

[sonic peak]

still HP and ES, but then you need to make sure your gear has chaos res

[thorn cargo]

Got it, have chaos res in gear

[feral halo]

has anyone found a fix for the game freezing entire computer when loading into a new zone or logging in? it only happens when I stream.... getting really annoying only started happening 1-2 days ago 100% a poe2 problem I have a high end computer

[snow sierra]

Life and energy Shield and you need chaos res from gear

[dusty gyro]

I havent actually gotten it yet, but I plan to go this rout using Mind Over Matter to make up the difference.

[snow sierra]

Like you need everything if you do that

like perfect gear

[hushed pulsar]

I would like to ask a question to the devs before I invest in this build idea to make sure the interaction is not unintended.

When volcanic fissure causes an aftershock, that aftershock triggers the fisures to explode. This works with any afterahock source including the new tremor support.

Please address this somewhere before i blow 80k gold on a respec.

[sonic peak]

try searching 'poe 2 multithreading bug'
I've heard a few CPUs are having problems with multithreading, and setting core afinities helps with it

[feral halo]

like using 1 less core?

[sonic peak]

using too many cores

[thorn cargo]

Oh one more question, which gear should I mainly get life and ES?

[feral halo]

I know but I set it to use not all cores and it still freezes my entire computer

[sharp fable]

is the frost fireball build for stormweaver good for end game?

[sonic peak]

all of them xD
as mentioned, you also want to cap resistances

make sure you use the trading site

[thorn cargo]

Thank you

[snow sierra]

If you do the note you postet from infernalist you need both, a ES base with alot of ES and Life and res roll

[sonic peak]

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/

as long as it's not down

[feral halo]

I set it so it doesn't use all cores my entire pc still freezing have to hard reset it

[sonic peak]

(seems like it is )

[snow sierra]

like its insanely expensive i would say a good set of gear cost you like 1000-1500ex maybe even more

[thorn cargo]

zamn

I guess I should just chilling then

[sonic peak]

wait, what is insanely expensive

[snow sierra]

there are alot of transition builds tho

[sonic peak]

capping res?

[snow sierra]

no hybrit energy shield infernalist

[sonic peak]

ah, for the chaos res

[snow sierra]

cause you need insane good energy shield items with high life rolls and high chaos res

[sonic peak]

yeah

TBH I feel like after the nerfs you don't rly need to cap chaos

[feral halo]

oh I have to change it manually every time?

[feral halo]

had no idea...

[snow sierra]

no but you want a good bit like 50+

[sonic peak]

no, I was talking about the trade site being down

[feral halo]

well I went to change afinity and it was using all my cores again... even when i take 1 off it still freezes entire PC

[snow sierra]

the trade site is becoming borderline unuseable time to ssf guys

[feral halo]

are they going to fix it jesus I can't even stream...

[sonic peak]

haven't checked into the multithreading stuff since I'm not having issues, a few friends of mine managed to get their game in a better state by following some reddit thread or smt

[feral halo]

can you find me it please?

[sonic peak]

just search poe 2 multithreading fix or smt

idk what they used

[half owl]

is pathfinder lightning build viable now with the buff?

[half owl]

ssf?

[raw thicket]

Does stornweavers talent force of will improve arcane surge additively? So the 1% per 15 mana gets added to both cast speed and mana regen?

[sonic peak]

you mean with concoctions?

[sonic peak]

solo self found

you can't trade

[sonic peak]

I don't see why you would do a concoction build when you can just deadeye and blast the entire screen with 2 buttons

[thorn cargo]

Should I get node with minion crit chance and minion crit damage?

[half owl]

why would anyone do ssf. is there hidden benifit

[thorn cargo]

I see I can have 60% crit chance with only 3 node

[snow sierra]

nah the minion crit notes are low prio to get

[sonic peak]

some ppl don't want to interact with trading to make the game harder

same as hardcore

[snow sierra]

its not 60% crit chance its increased minions have a base crit of 10% or something to that makes it 16%

[half owl]

i made a massive mistake on pathfinder with my 70 hour character

[thorn cargo]

ain't no way

[sonic peak]

there's a ladder (ranking), and ppl compete to see who can clear stuff faster in a league (max lvl, boss kills)

[thorn cargo]

thanks for enlight me

[sonic peak]

uhhh, well, you can try

[snow sierra]

maybe lean into your strength and do somekind of a poisen build

[sonic peak]

yeah, I would prob re-spec into either poison (since it's pathfinder's strong point) or bleed

[gilded nova]

Anyone knows what runes are these?

[sonic peak]

since there's no one else that can do bleed decently rn

[thorny pasture]

Can you convert Ice to Fire?

[sonic peak]

could be kinda fun ig

https://www.youtube.com/@KassSaiYaJiN/videos

[heady flower]

Is there no rune for Chaos resist?

[sonic peak]

this guy has been doing some poison pathfinder discoveries

tests and stuff

[sonic peak]

there's the ultimatum 'runes'

don't remember the name, let me check

Soul Cores

[snow sierra]

lol this pathfinder stuff looks funny as heck

just throw your mana pot at them !

[heady flower]

I‘m nearly at Max resist now, I just Need a pair of new Shoes and I should be maxed out

[sonic peak]

yeah, so nice not having to care abt mana

[heady flower]

Trade Site is sadly down

[sonic peak]

make sure they have 30% mov speed!

or at least 25%

[snow sierra]

this ^

[sonic peak]

game is unplayable at maps without mov speed

[heady flower]

I‘ll try to get a Nice pair, thx for the help

[snow sierra]

nah its ok i had no movement speed until t10 maps

but its a bit of a pain

like get movement speed if you can ^^

[sonic peak]

[snow sierra]

if i see these guys with 2k hp...i ask myself how do you even map at t16 with this hp...just hope you never get hit ?^^

[spring temple]

kill whole screen, or clear very slowly so you never get swarmed

maybe instantly electrocute/stun/freeze mobs when they show up

[snow sierra]

sound still way to ripy for me

[azure saffron]

if you have >"100% reduced duration of ignite on you", are you effectively immune to ignite damage?

[prisma spear]

som1 can help me improving my fireflower cast on minion death spellweaver?

[upper viper]

unlocked my 4th slots for aronists. What a people using with them, i currently have frenzy, scattershot, martial tempo 🙂

[valid lark]

It's my first time running an energy shield build. How do you all avoid not having to run around for it to start recharge? I found something from poe1 - wicked ward. but it's not on the tree for poe2

[hearty silo]

yes

[snow sierra]

grim feast

[valid lark]

oh what about during bosses??

[neat dew]

How does contagious contamination and plague herald interact? It seems like they do the same thing just a .1m difference

[snow sierra]

wait for recharge or play chronomancer

[hazy crescent]

Question for demon form, does the damage from black flame stacks hit directly to life or does it hit ES first?

[hearty silo]

Keep in mind we're in the earliest version of the early access. A lot of systems are in a weird spot, and I would include ES in that. ES recovery options are scant right now.

[cedar river]

Tempted to swap my Wind Ward for +1 extra projectile on my Deadeye grenader, put I have a feeling I will end up dieing more 😒

[valid lark]

I was looking into how to make eternal youth work for bloodmage

[abstract saddle]

Does contagion spread anything other than essence drain?

[mighty rain]

Question! Is there a way to change weapons on skill usage? I'm trying to use poision and spell chaos, but my wand has better spell damage, and I want to change to it when I use a spell. But they're not restricted, iS there a way to do it without changing it manually? Or do I just get a spell-chaos-poison bow?

[brisk glade]

What's the strongest build right now capable to melt bosses and mapping? I want to see if I can speedrun it before getting nerfed ahah

[jagged oyster]

Trade always down!!!! nooooo

[snow sierra]

Go to my fake tierlist.com and type in Path of exile 2 broken build

[brisk glade]

Send link

But here, not in DM

[upper viper]

i mean, there are prob 100k using it

[brisk glade]

I dare ya

[brisk glade]

And bots

[hasty meadow]

anyone can help? this is before after i take this ring,
why my fire lightning armour go down? i dont understand

[snow sierra]

i would say the strongst build might be some hand of wistom and action int stacker with a 5000 ex buged or something

its allways something like that

[upper viper]

bots start crying, as site goes down. "cries in profit"

Down For Maintenance

I guess its time to make dinner

[brisk glade]

You wear an armour which does not satisfy requirements

[hasty meadow]

OHHHH okay yeah ty im dumb hahaha

[brisk glade]

You are lvl 71 and never seen this?

You are a lucky ass lmao

[hasty meadow]

AHAHAHAH yeah i never calculate stats

[brisk glade]

You dropped gear with the right stats

I had one which required int for a merc

[steady heart]

what does increased life recovery rate do specifically? does it make hp/second =hp/0.85 sec?

[opaque bluff]

Ive seen people claim it jsut adds, but with leech, regeneration and recoup

[steady heart]

ok i do have a bunch of recoup, think ima grab it and see how i feel about it

[silent fiber]

how do i upgrade my belt quality anyone?

[hazy crescent]

There is a way to assign certain spells/skills to your weapon sets and passives. For setting up your skills open up your gems, click on the arrow pointing right on the skill you want to adjust and at the bottom of the new open window there should be an option to use that skill with your preferred weapon set

[valid crow]

For Stormweaver/Sorcereress would Dynamism be worth for freeze build?

[mighty rain]

Thank you!

[steady heart]

it had a very minor effect on my recovery per sec, went from 829 - 874

[celest stag]

How do I get more support sockets for my infernal hound/ascendency skills?

[opaque bluff]

Assuming you have other additive modifiers, that sounds about right for an additive mod - is that recovery from recoup or regen or what though?

[opaque bluff]

level up I think

[steady heart]

just my recovery sitting in my hideout, no buffs or anything, no totem out either which adds alot

[celest stag]

I see

[opaque bluff]

Sounds very much like an additive mod then

[warm delta]

Which is worth more (im tryjng to sell)
Pariah's Embrace
Enezun's Charge
The Dark Defiler
Ming's Heart
Necromantle Bone Rainment
Sanguine Diviner
Rampart Raptor Tense Crossbow

[thick thunder]

can storm weaver go MoM as soon as it does first lab?

[hazy crescent]

I believe you get more sockets like every other skill, jewellers orb.

[thick thunder]

character level

[noble linden]

This good for a lvl 65 character or a lil low?

[upper viper]

trade is like, gone gone right now damn XD

[graceful stag]

I'm not sure even PoB had that... you can use the tree planner in the browser and use the search function to highlight

[upper viper]

Maxroll has a planner 🙂

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

[graceful stag]

Not a bad ring

[outer gyro]

If I have ONLY lightning damage, this node basically does nothing, right?
Does it apply to skills that say they cant contribute aswel?

[lone rune]

There any changes to boneshatter skill? Since this evening the enemys dont get any Lights for proc over there heads ? 10 Times less the this Morning ?

[thick thunder]

yes to the first part, no to the second part can't always overrides can

[upper viper]

doesnt seem like it

[lone rune]

Hm thanks

[outer gyro]

Thank you!

[worldly pawn]

is the trade website down?

[upper viper]

its overloaded yeah XD

[celest stag]

Do u know the lvl breakpoints

[hexed vessel]

hey can anyone tell me how many skills points you have at level 80 please 😘

actually probably a better question is how many points you get from optional quests

[snow sierra]

should be 104

[cyan silo]

24 total

From additional quests

[hexed vessel]

tyvm stuck at work and gonna work a new build out now the respecs are cheaper

tried ignite titan and not enjoying it gonna try bleed next

[cedar river]

The Reduced Attribute Requirements are not additive are they? I initially thought the tree nodes of 4% would add up to 12%

[strong dove]

does anyone know if culling strikes conflicts with herald of ashe? (like prevents herald from going off? since there would maybe be no "overkill" damage)

[short notch]

how important is stun threshold for warrior?

[hallow kayak]

Can anybody recommend a good levelling build for sorc? My build sucks in cruel 😦

[delicate bramble]

anyone use acrobatics??

[tidal copper]

Does this work with iron reflexes

[warm delta]

Which is worth more
Rampart Raptor or Mings Heart?

[tight zenith]

would anyone know if different skill tree damage types scale multiplicatively or additively ? i.e. chaos damage & spell damage

[tidal copper]

additively unless its not

[cinder bramble]

picking up maximum energy shield nodes does not increase my mana with the Eldrith Battery notable, why? is it bugged?

[tidal copper]

Y

[opaque bluff]

No, its balanced so it converts before the increases apply

[tidal copper]

read conversion tool tip

[cinder bramble]

ah right the convert rule

forgot about that in PoE2

[feral forge]

Hi, I have more than 60 spirits, but i couldnt use cast on shock with lighting conduit. both are lvl 52 skills. Can someone help me ?

[dawn spire]

Does lightning conduit say something about if it cannot be triggered or something? Otherwise I'm not sure

[tight zenith]

what do u mean unless its not ;-;

[polar zealot]

does the off hand critical damage bonus work on my concoction

[feral forge]

It did not specfically mentioned

[hexed vessel]

hey wondering if anyone can answer if stun build up scales of damage?

[dawn spire]

Increased/reduced are additive, more/less are multiplicative

[dawn spire]

Yes, it does

[hexed vessel]

cool tyvm

[dawn spire]

Can you screenshot the concoction skill?

[dawn spire]

I'm out of ideas. Spirit costs seem very finicky

[jagged thunder]

how to add sockets on ascendancy skills? like concoction from pathfinder

[hexed vessel]

tyvm ❤️

[polar zealot]

the projectile skills from my quiver and bow work

[dawn spire]

They gain sockets as you level

[tight zenith]

ooo okok thanks ^^

[jagged thunder]

what are the levels for each socket

[dawn spire]

Looks like it does unarmed damage, so I don't think main or offhand works

[dawn spire]

No clue

[polar zealot]

it works for crit chance though

the crit damage is coming from this modifier

[feral forge]

I have at least 60 spirits tho

[polar zealot]

and it just says attack damage

[thick thunder]

maybe you dont have enough int?

[dawn spire]

Yeah it's an attack, but it's unarmed. So if you have any bonuses that are specifically for your weapons, they won't apply. What's the crit chance of your concoction?

[thick thunder]

dont gems add attribute requirements?

[proven rapids]

would this work well with CI ?

I believe yes

[feral forge]

I have 175 int

[dawn spire]

If you can give up your recharge, sure

[polar zealot]

just says off hand 20% crit chance

its got a base of 5% so i do believe they do work

[dawn spire]

Yeah idk why it has that there tbh. It's the same chance for main and off though

[feral forge]

It works, when I put conductivity inside. But when I removed it, it doesn't work anymore

[jagged thunder]

so it's only 4 sockets at lvl84..

[polar zealot]

it does unarmed damage but im still able to use the projectile skills from my bow and quiver

[last patio]

is a lightning/ice hybrid build hard to do without power charges? I don't like them and I'm currently not using them on frost monk

[dawn spire]

Yeah "attack crit chance" works. Concoction is an attack

But bow crit chance, for example, wouldn't help your concoction crit chance

Or anything that specifies weapons or weapon slots

[polar zealot]

yes i get that but the crit chance and damage is coming from my quiver which says for attacks , so surely the off handd crit chance and bonus should apply

[shadow zephyr]

Are there any unintuitive modifiers to look out for with regards to my warrior skills? For example, totems "have their own weapon," nothing clever like they benefit from my attackspeed increase?

[last patio]

does your amount of cold damage matter much when building up freeze? or do you just need any amount of cold damage and a lot of freeze build up nodes?

[wheat blade]

Aside from rings/gloves/charged staff, what other options are there for getting flat damage for attacks?

Im using Pilar of the Caged God and Str Stacking gemling, and Im finding in A5 my damage is starting to fall off as I have a morbillion inc dmg but very low flat dmg, I have flat dmg on both rings and am using kitoko's gloves, and have 7/7 charges for Charged Staff, but Im still at only like 2.2k dps in A5 which is pretty low, need moar

Also my PotCG has 3 sockets, 3/3 are socketed with flat lightning

[thick thunder]

sounds like you need more int?

[wheat blade]

huh?

[thick thunder]

doesnt kitikos add lightning based on int?

[wheat blade]

no thats HOWA, Kitikos is the electrocute gloves

[thick thunder]

ah gotcha

[wheat blade]

Id use HOWA but they're well over 100ex, so gotta get em later

Wake of Destruction is an option, adds 1-50 lightning damage but lacks movespeed and resists 🤔

goddamnit trade is back down again 😩

[jagged thunder]

my support gems from concoction got deleted after unspeccing kek

is that intended or a bug

[proven rapids]

bug likely

[radiant saffron]

So flat physical dmg and/or just flat elemental dmg are better than X% amount of elemental increased, right?

[jagged thunder]

i spec it back and the supports are gone

[proven rapids]

that's not how it work

[full helm]

for this skill, can i benefit from spell damage scaling. Also which is better crit chance or spell crit chance

[proven rapids]

if you already have a lot of flat, %increase is better. If you have a lot of %increase, flat is better

[proven rapids]

you can benefit from spell damage scalling because it's a spell

[radiant saffron]

I see. Guess it convers more this way

[tidal totem]

Strike Twice or Force of Will for second stormweaver ascendancy?

[radiant saffron]

Im wasnt sure what kind of weapon to look in future for... till now I prioritised attack speed and % elemental damage with some flat elemental dmg on it. Now that o have an idea how they works it does seem essier

[uncut bay]

how good is the demon form in the endgame?

[unkempt nexus]

does ritualistic curse and magnified effect stack?

for the bigger aoe

[unkempt nexus]

very, lots of different builds

[full helm]

Thanks. So you men flat spell damage?

[uncut bay]

ty

[hexed vessel]

hey small favor can anyone tell me the default cast time for stampede please? 😘
trying to work in more speeeeed into the build to it feel better

[last patio]

can someone explain how freeze build up works? Does the amount of cold damage matter?

[proven rapids]

both flat and %increase should work

[scarlet mason]

Does sacrifice + DD trigger the extra explosion damage from minion instability

[quasi flint]

is exposure a good main damage link?

[proven rapids]

no

unless it's a support skill and not main skill

[quasi flint]

Im struggling for good damage supports on my main skill

I tried offloading shock to orb of storms and putting ele focus on my sparks but in practice it barely every shocks anything

[pure parcel]

what are the most optimal ways of getting attack speed? nodes on the tree seem pretty small overall. Is there a certain piece of gear that's best to get an attack speed modifier on?

[proven rapids]

best way atm is too use jewels

or dexterity stacking

[pure parcel]

isn't dex accuracy or does it also affect attack speed?

[proven rapids]

if affect attack speed with this

[pure parcel]

oh neat thanks

[lucid creek]

more damage = more buildup, it matters

[abstract grove]

i have no idea what to upgrade, anything obvious here? only thing i could think of wanting is a +30 spirit amulet instead of +12 so I can use one more aura

I have 110 exalts but everything on trade is a stupid amount of divines, when all this gear cost me maybe 40 ex total

armour gets solved with scavenged plating + rage building, block will be capped with some more levels

[warm delta]

Why did trade prices jump up to divine at this point?

[smoky pendant]

Looking to do a Crossbow Shockburst+Plasma Blast build with either Galvanic Shards or Explosive Shot for clearing.

Can't decide whether a Mercenary Witchhunter or a Ranger Deadeye would be better in the long run. Advice?

[abstract grove]

fuck if i know. people flipping stuff probably. looking at the market now compared to 4 days ago, all my stuff is worth 10x more than it was

[calm oar]

If you were to use the Three Dragons unique (converts lightning to frost), you'd lose out on the shock ailment right? Could you get this back by using Archmage since it'd convert some of your now frost damage to electric?

[azure saffron]

is there a tree planner that can show the allocation rings on the unique jewels?

[unkempt nexus]

search by exalts only , will at least save you that problem

[last patio]

ok thanks. Do you think it could be worth focusing entirely on the heavy frost node and dumping everything into cold and freeze buildup? (ignores ele resistance on frozen)

[abstract grove]

yeah, i'm just a bit lost on trying to find upgrades. especially when it comes to resists .. do i find a GG item and then fill out the rest of my armour around it?

[last patio]

I'm thinking if I can keep the hardest bosses perma frozen then my damage can take a hit

[abstract grove]

there are like 6 pairs of boots with strength above 25 & 35% move speed lol

[neat dew]

Is herald of plague useless on pathfinder since they get contagious contamination?

[warm delta]

Given the trade site keeps crashing, i suspect its bots inflating the market price of niche build items.
Mings heart & rampart raptor prices got inflated to like a divine or more smh

Im trying to sell my rampart before the market correction

[abstract grove]

bro i sold two divines for 9 ex each like 3 or 4 days ago

and now they're worth almost 50

it's stupid

[unkempt nexus]

usually how i do it yeah, in most people's case i guess, find a really good chest and build around what resists you are lacking etc.

[heavy flame]

they nerfed my build, wildshards. what do i do now?

[azure saffron]

that's because someone posted on reddit a ward-loop like build with comet that made it stronger than before the cast on freeze nerf

[abstract grove]

they nerfed armour detonation blowing up 4 screens over but it's still good

[abstract grove]

make it work or respec, respecs are pretty cheap now!

i spent 100k on respec yesterday then they dropped the patch.. lol

lol i found a really good pair of boots, then i realized i was looking at poe1 trade site.. poe2 trade is down

[potent swift]

What do you think of cast on ignite detonate dead sorceress? Is that a good clearing strat?

[warm delta]

How much is mings heart ring vs meta rampart raptor crossbow?

[sonic blade]

Are there any unique necklaces that would make the keystone worth taking? I dont know its name, but it gives your minions the stats on your necklace

[warm delta]

Resist, ES (or ES recovery rate), max life

in that order of significance

[sonic blade]

But is it worth taking is my question

[median kraken]

I think Jungroan was doing Cast on Minion Death using Fireflower with that node

[sonic blade]

I figured if there was, it would be a uniques effect like ring of mendeln

[lucid creek]

I freeze super easily even without heavy investment on the skill tree - I personally think a balanced approach on the skilltree works best. If you get a good cold mod on your weapon or even a ring and glove, you will freeze enemies with Charged Staff, or even attacks from flicker strike. this + herald of ice means very easy mapping. Then you focus a bit on lightning and you've got yourself the best of both worlds = easy mapping and bossing

[warm delta]

Depends on playstyle. If its manic reaver+crit winion, yes.

[sonic blade]

Im currently playing Arsonist SRS Gemling Legionnaire

[heavy current]

Can anyone who knows how to play dead eye help me make my build work?

[warm delta]

Then no, SRS metas usually does cast on death, so you dont want survivability from necklace/amulet stats

[last patio]

I do too, I generally freeze like on the 2nd hit of ice strike most of the time. The only thing I'm concerned about are bosses. I wanna keep them perma frozen, or close to it. Particularly thinking of the 3rd sekhema trial bosses lol

[sonic blade]

Im basically rocking Ghazzy's warrior build but on Gemling Legionnaire

[last patio]

I don't know how much value I'm ACTUALLY getting out of heavy frost node

[lucid creek]

wait, I answered assuming you were a monk, and you are indeed a monk huh? lmao

[last patio]

and if I want to prioritize keeping rare and unique bosses frozen before I wanna prioritize regular damage

yes lol

[lucid creek]

best perma cc is not freeze

is freeze + electrocute + stun

if you use only one, after proccing there is a big cooldown right?

[last patio]

sorry brb one moment

[lucid creek]

set electrocute + neural overload on tempest flurry

cold mod on weapon

perma cc

[sonic blade]

If im on controller, is there a way to target my skeletal warriors for Pain Offering?

[last patio]

yeah that's a good point. have you tried building monk without power charges? i'm really not a fan but if I'm gonna dip into lightning I'm worried it's necessary

[bold pulsar]

Is there any way to check how much damage my poison do?

The information on my gas grenade arent reliable, and doesnt mention my magnitude

[quasi flint]

Is the +1 support good or bait?

[sonic blade]

It may be like SRS and not be correct @bold pulsar

[astral badger]

i have nearly 75% on all resistances except chaos, which is 20%. I'm not getting drops w/ chaos resistance much higher than that. Is there anything I can do to boost chaos without ruining my whole setup?

[bold pulsar]

@sonic blade Hopefully we get more information available later on

[visual seal]

so now that they worked on armor explosion bug, i hear it still works with stampede but where do people put the armor break node?

[sonic blade]

You can gem for it

[astral badger]

as in the gems i put in my passive tree?

[sonic blade]

Sorry not gem, rune

There may be jewels that give CR too

[astral badger]

oh ok damn. i didnt have any cr runes, so i used cold/fire/lightning ones. i guess ill have to trade for some better jewelry

[sonic blade]

You can get the CR runes from Ultimatums

[astral badger]

or maybe get a better belt

[sonic blade]

Try to get a belt with +1 charm slots

[astral badger]

im also confused on that. i have a charm that gives lightning res, but it doesnt seem to affect the %s in my menu. isd that because it only activates when i take the respective damage?

[sonic blade]

Correct

It has to activate to give you the res

[astral badger]

Ah ok, so even if its not reflected on the menu its still impactful

[sonic blade]

I would use charms for stun/freeze/etc

[potent swift]

There's no downside to runes, right? It's not like a vaal orb?

[sonic blade]

They are permanent

[potent swift]

In the way that u can't improve it further

[sonic blade]

Other than that, no

[potent swift]

Oh cool, I am so stupid then lol

[lucid creek]

nah I love my charges, combat frenzy buff is absolutely insane
