2┃build-planning

[hallow spruce]

I’m level 2 haha

[calm mauve]

well just go out and hit stuff with fire

[hallow spruce]

Also does it matter what i pick at the start between minion/chaos etc

Or not really

[calm mauve]

no

[hallow spruce]

I also saw a build that was kinda like corpse explosion from d4

[neat bison]

Detonate dead is probably good

Wouldn’t be ideal for bosses

[calm mauve]

the unique boots that decompose are really food

[neat bison]

Because you need corpses

[calm mauve]

good

[simple crown]

who is stronger for fast map clear - invoker or stormweaver?

[hallow spruce]

Is there no way to generate corpses?

Without killing

[calm mauve]

kill stuff

[neat bison]

Not currently

No desecrate atm

[hallow spruce]

Ah

Hmm I’ll prob do some minion thing then

[calm mauve]

anyone got any opinions on the best support gems for hexblast?

[hallow spruce]

Or like you said, ignite build

The blood mage stuff seemed interesting but idk

[calm mauve]

blood mage is not ez

[hallow spruce]

The whole summoning hellhound really swayed me lmaoo

[calm mauve]

im a blood mage and its been hard ngl

[karmic goblet]

does anyone know how the frostbreath culling strike works

[fast wind]

you can use the dodge skill to gain a power charge and use that for the corpse replacement

[hallow spruce]

I saw early on, I should do like unearth with contagion?

Summon the little things to spread it

I’ve never played Poe, only Diablo

[plain osprey]

suggestions for support gems on Contagion?

[calm mauve]

chaotic freeze

[fast wind]

what some good builds for sorc?

[plain osprey]

not there yet, i'm level 42 halfway through act 3

[calm mauve]

there's a t2 poison one or chain/pierce are good early options

are u using withered gem?

[marsh saffron]

Hi all, so i'm a titan and i've taken the avatar of fire passive, does this mean that support gems like heavy swing that give the skill more physical damage stop affecting it?

[plain osprey]

i am yeah

[marsh saffron]

trying to find out what supports to put on my hotg

[plain osprey]

you mean Wither Away?

[calm mauve]

i dunno,, what its called but it stacks withered...

its an int support gem

[plain osprey]

ah that one

[wheat blade]

area of effect and duration

[pale vine]

He's talking about Withering Presence I believe

[calm mauve]

He is

^^

well there's two..

[pale vine]

Withered duration is 4 seconds
Withers enemies in your Presence every X seconds

[wheat blade]

I did Contagion - Persistance - Magnified Effect - Expanse

[calm mauve]

nah there's another one aswell

[plain osprey]

i dont see withering presence anywhere

[pale vine]

one sec, I'm at hideout so will check

[wheat blade]

its a spirit gem

[plain osprey]

ooh

[wheat blade]

no point, Dark Effigy with Wither Support caps wither stacks extremely fast

[storm willow]

should i redo some points and put them on armor upgrades? cuz the first boss from act 2 cruel keeps oneshotting me 😭

[pale vine]

checking persistent buff skill gems ... only one that uses wither is Withering Presence

[wheat blade]

better to take the "energy shield dingers on kill" spirit ability

[pale vine]

I'm not telling him what to [not] take. Was just mentioning the skill I thought he was referencing

[plain osprey]

ah, yeah i swapped that one for Wither Away
that way i get constant passive wither while also having Despair Aura via Blasphemy as my spirit gem

[calm mauve]

withering touch

i have it on my dark effigy,, it stacks darkness res debuff really high

[wheat blade]

you also want temp chains, I just use Hand of Chayula on a weapon swap

[calm mauve]

but u can use it on essence drain and chaos bolt at low levels

[plain osprey]

yeah i'm a long way away from that one haha

[calm mauve]

withering touch is t1 support gem tho

i think

[plain osprey]

i meant temporal chains

[calm mauve]

yea

[wheat blade]

the trick is use Arvil's Wheel on weapon swap so you get 50% skill effect duration on Hand of Chayula, and bind Hand of Chayula onto weapon set 2 so you use it with that shield

and probably a +4 gem wand or whatever you can fit in with it, I dunno if the stats on a wand actually apply to unarmed attacks though

ideally you want, I think, pretty much just as high of +gems on your mainhand wand paired with that shield, to maximize the level of your despair and temp chains (though I dunno if temp chains has a tag you can hit, but at least you can juice despair up)

oh yeah you can get generic +4 spells so you +4 temp chains and +4 despair, thats prolly best

[plain osprey]

i have withering touch on my dark effigy, it stacks to -50% chaos in like a second or two, i have passive Wither via skilltree and constant Despair aura via Blasphemy, chaos debuffs are applied constantly at least on anything nearby and for bosses i pop an effigy and run its chaos resis down even more, i just don't know what would be practical for contagion rn

[wheat blade]

are you chronomancer?

[plain osprey]

chayula monk

[wheat blade]

oh interesting, whats the appeal of chayula monk?

[plain osprey]

chaos focused ascendancy, good amout of chaos nodes in the monk skilltree

[abstract grove]

I'm thinking of specing into Avatar of Fire for my Titan.. how would you make it work?

[short eagle]

Hi guys, is Ace of Spades builds worthwhile? I got recommended a video of his and I am a new player and just reached the end of act 2 in the brutal difficulty. The video I got recommended from him was a monk build that I wonder if I should try it

[plain osprey]

chaos inoculation and mom somewhat reachable

[wheat blade]

you know all the chaos dmg stuff on chayula doesnt do anything for DoTs right?

those only apply to Hits

[fast wind]

anyone have any idea's for painter's servant

[wheat blade]

but one could go with like, Embrace the Darkness stuff instead

I had originally did a chaos dot witch, but I realized after that I really wouldve wanted to go Chronomancer

[storm willow]

is it worthy to redo some points and put them on armor upgrades? cuz act 2 cruel first boss keeps oneshotting me and idk what to do

[pale vine]

if you're getting one-shot and an armor build, you should look at your gear as well ... could be a resist issue

[plain osprey]

the +%dmg of the ascendancy does affect chaos damage

[neat bison]

The defend with 200% armor against crits node is quite valuable

[pale vine]

unless it's an obvious attack that's supposed to one-shot ... in which case, bloody move, bud 😉

[wheat blade]

it shouldnt effect damage over time unless GGG has super changed the behavior of stuff

[pale vine]

yeah, if you're not evasion, I highly recommend reducing crit damage you take ... evasion is pretty good about that because they have to roll vs evasion to hit and roll vs evasion a second time if they hit for it to crit

makes it less likely to be crit ... though really hurts if you do get crit

cuz, ya know, no armor

[wheat blade]

"Extra Damage" Im pretty sure only applies to hits

[storm willow]

there are other monsters attacking me at the same time the boss does, those monsters also do insane dmg to me, and the boss oneshots me with any attack

[soft lake]

Correct. And ailments that are based on hits, obviously - but chaos DOT spells do not base their damage on hits

[plain osprey]

i'm not sure what those 11% go off of, because 11% of 700-something sure has hell isn't ~20 but it does alter the damage whether you have it or not

[storm willow]

yea thats good but the boss oneshots me with any attack so im not sure if armor against crits will help

[pale vine]

sounds like a lot of problems ... needing to quickly clear adds as well as your defenses sound low if the adds are melting you with "insane damage"

[neat bison]

You likely just need more life and resistances, which can’t really be found on the passive tree

[soft lake]

That 11% is increased, which means it's additive with an other sources of increased chaos/spell damage you have

[storm willow]

"insane dmg" is like half hp with 2 attacks or something like that

[plain osprey]

yeah but what

very difficult to have a proper oversight

[soft lake]

It means it's a relatively minor amount of damage because you'll be wanting to pick up increased spell damage and increased chaos damage on your passive tree

If you get 100% increased damage from your tree already, another 11% isn't worth that much

[storm willow]

yea but the boss looks like deals only physical damage, and the runes and things that gives more max life is only like +20 or things like that 😭

[plain osprey]

ah, so it would be 111% increased damage and not 11% on top of what those initial 100% did?

[soft lake]

Correct

[plain osprey]

aight i see

[soft lake]

More damage does function multiplicatively

But increased all goes into the same "damage bucket" additively

[fast wind]

so how does that damage up work if all your damage is cut into three different damage types

[wheat blade]

thats absolutely wild, that sounds like a bug, the ascendancy explicitly states "with hits" too

[plain osprey]

reality rending does, but the previous one Chaos Damage just says increased chaos damage

[soft lake]

It'll take the appropriate amounts of each. So if you're using a spell with 30% fire damage, 30% cold, 30% lightning, 10% chaos, then increased spell damage will apply to all of it, increased fire only to the 30% that's fire, increased cold to the cold, etc

[plain osprey]

which means Grasp of the Void would also add? 1% of damage as Extra Chaos Damage per 20 unreserved darkness

since it doesnt explicitly mention "with hits"

[soft lake]

That is also with hits

[tawdry plank]

Does anyone know if Chronomancer skill reset applies to minion revival cooldown?

[wheat blade]

oooh... yeah no its just this small passive giving you the boost.

Unallocate only the notable and you'll see no change lol

[plain osprey]

chaos bolt tho

oh wait nvm i see what you mean

[soft lake]

If you hold alt and look at the annotation for Gain specifically, it tells you that it doesn't work for damage over time

[wheat blade]

yeah Chayula is a hit based build.

I mean if you just throw original sin at Chayula monk every hit skill becomes viable to use lol

[fast wind]

well painter's converts all my elemental damage into 33% of each element type so i should see a huge increase overall if i just get damage nodes?

[soft lake]

It could work for poison, too

[abstract grove]

how could i make this keystone work with Titan? Is fire damage inherently better than physical? 25% of damage lost sounds pretty brutal.

[wheat blade]

thats just GGG being inconsistent, it should say "with hits", most sources of gain extra specify "with hits" and the tooltip on gain as extra specifies its hits only

[velvet blade]

each damage node for an individual element would only be 33% as effective

[wheat blade]

poison is just an abstraction on top of hit builds :p

[plain osprey]

yeah that's terrible

[soft lake]

This is true, but it's worth clarifying for new players!

[plain osprey]

not for dots but for chaos bolt for sure

[wheat blade]

how expensive is original sin in poe2

[plain osprey]

or no?

[fast wind]

but still would be an all damage up right?

[wheat blade]

chaos bolt is a hit attack yeah, so it works fine

[soft lake]

It will work for chaos bolt, yeah

[plain osprey]

ok so what i had in mind was somewhat right afterall, for a moment i feared i was wrong all along lol

[velvet blade]

Nope. If you had a base 100 fire damage + gloves = 33 fire, 33 lightning, 33 cold + 50% increased cold damage, you would get: 33 fire damage, 33 lightning damage, and 49 cold damage

[wheat blade]

oh man original sin is only a couple divines, thats not bad I think, chayula monk with random bullshit could be fun

[fast wind]

shit

[velvet blade]

Yeah :\

[wheat blade]

oh actually you can really do fun stuff with uh, that one support gem that gives more damage for each element skill used recently

[plain osprey]

now just to find out a way to proc contagion passively, that would be so nice
somewhat similar to my passive aura build in poe1 where i literally did nothing for mobs just to die around me

[fast wind]

then there's no effecient way to build around the gloves is there

[soft lake]

It means you don't want to really lean into increases to specific damage types - you want attack/spell damage (whichever is appropriate for the skill you are using) and elemental damage

[velvet blade]

There might be but I'm not sure how it would work

[velvet blade]

My first thought would be to see how those gloves interact with elemental equilibrium

[fast wind]

there is one it the elemental randomizer one where it buffs one damage type for like 8 sec

yea that one

[astral badger]

I have an ice sorc build at level 73 and i love it. focuses on high damage aoe, frost walls for area control, frostbolt for spamming etc. i just heard about blueflame bracers, which turns all fire damage to cold damage. if i use those with a weapon that gives me fireball, will fireball get all of the cold/elemental/spell damage increases my build has?

[wheat blade]

nope nevermind thats dumb forgot I mentioned that, that does nothing lol

it gives specifically more elemental damage, which does nothing for chaos dmg XD

[soft lake]

Yep!

Damage modifiers are applied after conversion, so you will indeed benefit

[astral badger]

Hm. in that case i might try it as my current staff gives me freezing shards which i dont use anymore.

although id keep wild shards on frost bolt, so idk how well fireball would fit

[fast wind]

i seen this and it would functionally do nothing as i'd be dealing all damage types at the same time

[soft lake]

It's worth noting that Fireball comes from a skill gem and is different to the skill that comes from the staff

[velvet blade]

It depends on if it also applies all at the same time

[fast wind]

it would and then change meaning nothing would happen

[velvet blade]

And if the next hit would be effected by the exposures

[astral badger]

Ah, i thought it was one of those weapon-specific ones. even better

[soft lake]

There is a weapon-specific one that launches some kind of ball of fire, but it's different to Fireball as a skill!

[astral badger]

gotcha. now to figure out how to fit fireball and frostbolt together lol

since i cant use two wild shards 😦

[soft lake]

Scattershot for one of them, I guess

[pale vine]

check out the different orbs that you can drop that continue to do damage in an area ...
or ... firewall and you shoot ice spells through it

[wide dune]

havent looked into warrior much, but any big conversion builds i can do with this? dropped from 4th floor of sekhema trial, and exalted flat phys on it

[astral badger]

maybe ill do scattershot frostbolt/wildshards fireball

[abstract grove]

does skill effect duration apply to ailments?

[velvet blade]

Yeah, could be cool in a avatar of fire build

Avatar of fire ignite hammer of the gods

[fast wind]

well guess ill have to change up the build now

[wide dune]

saw some rumor saying attack speed doesnt work for slams, which hammer of the gods would be

wastes the big AS on this i think

[velvet blade]

Well you would use other attacks for clear and drop the hammer on rares and bosses for big extra damage

Probably sunder with some kind of armour break and crit multi stacking

But lots of options. That's a dope weapon

[wide dune]

yeah, t5 dropped like that and just one lucky exalt

a bit low on the flat phys roll but hey

[fast wind]

so is it better to focus one element or at minimum two for sorc?

[median kraken]

1 element is simplest. 2 you can try to do with weapon swap. You can get general elemental and spell scaling, big problem with multiple elements is less likely to have exposure and ailment scaling.

[velvet blade]

Call of the brotherhood ring is really nice with sorc since you get to scale cold damage to get chills and freezes, get to use archmage, and use both cold and lightning abilities

[median kraken]

There are also some uniques that can convert elements. There are rings (Call of the Brotherhood or Wisper of the Brotherhood) that convert lightning to cold or cold to lightning and gloves (Blueflame) that convert fire to cold. I'm actually doing a pure cold fire/frostwall build using Blueflame to convert fire to cold

[velvet blade]

Could then spec into 2 shocks and all damage shocks for even more damage

[calm orchid]

What class is best for trials?

Sorc is not it 😭

[velvet blade]

temporalis blink

[median kraken]

Cold sorc doesn't seem bad for it. Freeze is nice.

[wide dune]

did some carries on tempest flurry/bell monk at monster 80

[calm orchid]

It just seems like you have to be max level max roll gear everything completed basically

Just very lame tbh

Hope it gets nerfed again cause noob

[median kraken]

Do you have good relics if you're doing Sekhema trial?

[calm orchid]

I think I’d rather die irl than do trial of sek

[median kraken]

You can get a ton of honor and honor resist with relics

[flint grove]

How can I make lingering illusion last longer?

[median kraken]

So you're specifically asking about trial of chaos?

[jagged thunder]

in trade site what are these R labels in the left side? and how do i know the tier roll of each affix ?

[atomic halo]

the number after the r is the tier

[jagged thunder]

WOW

[atomic halo]

unlike poe1 where t1 is best

t1 in poe2 is the worst

[jagged thunder]

damn. why not just says "T" lmao

[atomic halo]

well on poe1 trade it says P / S for prefix and suffix

[jagged thunder]

ggg really likes to confuse people

[atomic halo]

idk why it doesnt there

[jagged thunder]

oh this too. i need to know suffix and prefix lol

[atomic halo]

good opportunity to learn

[late night]

i have 3 rune slots on this, what are the best runes to slap into it?

[atomic halo]

flat damage is prefix, attr is suffix, atkspd is suffix, +1 level is suffix (was prefix in poe1)

[atomic halo]

phys + phys + phys?

lol

[jagged thunder]

my brain can't memorize all of these for all slots. in poe1 the trade site tells me which ones are P or S

[atomic halo]

yeah ik

[late night]

i thought so but i dont want to do anything stupid

[atomic halo]

but tbh after some time you should be able to just remember by intuition

its relatively consistent between slots as well

[jagged thunder]

i already remember a good amount of them. not just everything. i will soon

i played SSf up to lvl 76 so i kinda had to learn a lot of things

[atomic halo]

also unless its coincidence its already sorted prefix -> suffix on the trade page

[jagged thunder]

now just started trade

[atomic halo]

which can help

[velvet blade]

Skill that read "poisons enemies as though hitting them" scale based off your weapon damage right?

[atomic halo]

holy when are they going to add pseudo filters on trade

so annoying

[velvet blade]

Yeeeah, looking forward to that

[soft lake]

It should have its own base damage, no?

[atomic halo]

i dont think so, can you show an example of such a modifier

[soft lake]

Which skill are you looking at?

[soft lake]

Oh, that will use 131% of your weapon's base damage, yeah

[atomic halo]

oh yeah, cuz it's an attack

[velvet blade]

Sweet, thanks

[atomic halo]

thats a wording new to poe2

interesting

[soft lake]

Most things with "attack" as a tag will be based on your weapon's damage unless it states its own base damage somewhere

[soft lake]

Yeah, there are few things to do with ailments like that. Incinerate "igniting as if dealing # damage" is another

[lunar flume]

Ok, so I'm just thinking about a build, so far It's just in my tiny brain but I'm trying to think about a way to do it.

The build is "Cast on ignite/freeze/Shock" Using Firewall/Frozen Orb and that lightning spell I've forgotten the name off now, to proc it each of them, casting Comet, Rain of fire and Lightning storm thing that consume spark Thoughts? Idea's? The goal with items is "High mana + Energy shield", +%Spelldmg +SpellLvl, Crit/Mana on kill or regen I guess.

[soft lake]

Gas Arrow's wording seems a bit odd because it's an attack rather than a spell, I guess

[marsh saffron]

do trial modifiers apply to trialmaster fight?

[hasty meadow]

hi when people say DPS tooltip on an item how can i see it?

[soft lake]

Open your gem menu. You can click the arrow (in the small circle) to open the advanced stats for that specific skill, too

[dawn spire]

You're using a lot of names that aren't in the game, so just to be clear:
Firewall = flame wall?
Frozen orb = Frost bomb? Eye of Winter?
Lightning spell you forgot = Orb of storms? Literally any other lightning spell?
Rain of fire = Firestorm?
Lightning Storm thing that consumes (Spark = Shock?) = Lightning Conduit?

[hasty meadow]

ah so the normal hit is the dps tooltip they usually refer to?

[soft lake]

Most people will probably just be going by the DPS shown next to the arrow (in the small circle in my screenshot)

[dawn spire]

Weapon dps is ((max hit + min hit) /2) x attack speed

There's no weapon dps tooltip unless you post your item for sale and use the trade site to look at your dps

[hasty meadow]

is this considered extra projectile already?

[hasty meadow]

aigh got it

[main jetty]

does vulnerability does anything against enemies with broken armor?

[soft lake]

Oh, for an item, yeah, you need to calculate it with the formula Byron gave - or post it to the trade site and then it will show on the trade listing

[dawn spire]

I'm talking specifically about the base dps of your weapon. It only factors in its max and min hit and its attack speed

[cobalt niche]

What are the first 2 best ascendandy points to spend on deadeye?

[void granite]

could someone please explain to me why or why I shouldnt get the acrobatics node? I dont quite understand it. Im new to poe and evading all attacks but taking away evasion sounds so conflicting to me'

[soft lake]

Probably the Tailwind one, I would imagine. It makes you go fast

[dawn spire]

Hold alt and hover over evasion for more info, but tldr is:
Normally you can only evade strikes and projectiles. Not slams or other aoe hits. Acrobatics lets you evade those, too, but you evade everything 70% less often

[void granite]

ooooooooh so now I can evade everything BUT my evasion as a whole for that whole grouping goes down

[dawn spire]

Aye. And this is specifically your evasion rating. This has nothing to do with dodge roll

[void granite]

so its probably not a good idea for me considering i have 70% evasion without it and 75/75/75/0 res

no def

small ES

[plain osprey]

i suppose there is no way to support a curse that's put into Blasphemy?

[void granite]

sounds like id get fked up

[last patio]

someone made the point that evasion stacking with high life recoup doubles down on the risk of being 1 shot and etc

so i'm wondering WHAT do I want to get defensively to combine with high life recoup?

[velvet blade]

Ran into this same issue, it doesn't seem to work with impending doom or decaying hex

[dawn spire]

So if you have 70% estimated evasion rating, you won't go to 0% if you take acrobatics. You'll get hit by about 3x as many strikes and projectiles as before. I would bet you'd go from 70% estimated evasion chance to 10-20%

[soft lake]

Yeah, it'll be a 0.3x multiplier on your flat evasion amount (which you can see here if you press C to open the character sheet)

[void granite]

ya that sounds very dumb. i wont be taking that node.

[soft lake]

It can be very good - a lot of projectiles and stuff have little explosions that you can't evade

[dawn spire]

Armor, life, and resists

[soft lake]

But you do need to make sure you have enough evasion for it to be worth it, of course

[last patio]

just curious why armor?

[void granite]

if I had some ES or more hp I would but I have no other real defenses besides eva and res. I'm farming t15s/breaches but i only have 1.6k hp/493 es

[last patio]

i'v enever messed with armor

[dawn spire]

A shield might also be good so you can pop active block to protect you while you recoup

[soft lake]

You can alway click it, see how it feels and unspec it until later if you don't like it, too. You might lose a map or two, but it's good to get a feeling for these things rather than just try to plan it all out on paper

[last patio]

can't, playing monk with chrono ascendencies lol

and I'm gonna put a bow in my offhand

[dawn spire]

It's one of the only ways to increase your effective hp while also allowing you to recoup to your life

[void granite]

ya may not be a bad idea to just try it. i dont wanna lose a 15 tho so may ill try on a 13

[dawn spire]

If you had a way to recoup to your energy shield, every shield stacking would be #1 by a mile

[last patio]

like ghost dancer?

ohhh

recoup to my energy shield yeah nvm

misunderstood

[dawn spire]

Does ghost dance give you the energy shield before the hit happens? If not, it won't really raise your ehp vs one shots.

Ah, yeah

@last patio but in a similar vein, if you can recoup to your mana, then mind overmatter and mana stacking is bonkers

[soft lake]

Yeah, definitely. There are quite a few things in POE that are worse on paper (and so get overlooked by people theorycrafting) but feel better in practice, so it's often worth checking

[last patio]

suddenly life recoup doesn't seem very good >> it's just an infinite life flask

[dawn spire]

That seems kinda good to me lmao

[neat bison]

It’s ok on chrono

[dawn spire]

Chrono goes hard, yeah

[neat bison]

8 sec is a long default length

[dawn spire]

3.2s recoup with chrono node and the 25% faster node on the tree

[soft lake]

You can get it to 6 on non-Chrono, too, which is decent

[dawn spire]

No, only 6.4s

With the 25% faster node

[last patio]

sometimes you see your health rapidly hammered out with liferecoup and it suddenly just seems like...why life recoup when I can just hit health flask for the same effect?

[delicate fern]

Found your comment from searching about corpsewade. And yes it does work with sacrifice but is hard to sustain as it procs very fast.

[void granite]

I need to figure out a better way to farm breaches as a quarterstaff monk. im using mathils build but breaches feel pretty slowed compared to deadeyes and sorcs. Im not getting anything comparable in terms of clear I think

[soft lake]

Oops, yeah, you're right

[last patio]

why invest in it over something that gives you stronger survival in instances where your health would get deleted faster than you can react?

[soft lake]

If you're health's getting deleted faster than you can react, you've got bigger problems, honestly

[dawn spire]

Because sustaining your life vs weaker hits is still useful in some scenarios

[void granite]

are you talking to me?

[last patio]

it just seems like really high/fast life recoup is more just a luxury so you don't have to hit life flask. what really matters is surviving huge and rapid hits

[last patio]

to me

[void granite]

oh ok np

[dawn spire]

I mean, it depends on the content you're doing and what other layers your build has

[rough widget]

when looking at a weapon for example a quarterstaff, do you follow the DPS in your skills tab or the DPS on the weapon?

[atomic halo]

they should generally be aligned

i look at wep dps first, if im not sure i check dps in skills tab. big thing wep dps doesnt account for is + lvels to gems.

[rough widget]

well one quarterstaff has +4 to melee skills and one doesnt

[void granite]

just dropped my first div orb at level 89!

[rough widget]

the one without that perk does alot less DPS

3k dps less

[atomic halo]

+1 is approx 8-10% more dps

heavily depending on the skill and current lvel

[lunar flume]

My bad, had the game off and forgot names 😅😅 and yea, eye of winter yes, the rest are correct yes

[rough widget]

these are the 2 weps haha

the one on the right has 3k more dps but the one on the left is meant to be better

[atomic halo]

hmm

[rough widget]

if i can manage the mana sacrifice do i stick to the right weapon?

[atomic halo]

right also has 114% inc dmg and more atkspd

left is 350 avg., right is 250 avg. dmg

[tacit kayak]

Does anyone know a good monk invoker leveling build for the campaign they could link please

[plain osprey]

is there a way to reduce spirit cost of a skill, or a list of what gear pieces can have spirit on it?

[rough widget]

the + to melee skills is insane how much dps it gives me without showing it on the weapon lol

[normal fable]

Mage builds just spark rn? Or is there other good tier builds

[atomic halo]

according to skills tab?

[rough widget]

yeah bro

[vernal ridge]

are there any mechanics difference between elemental damage vs single element damage or am i safe to assume elemental just adds % to all 4 elements and is just better than single element?

[rough widget]

tempest flurry my main skill goes down 3k dps when i chuck on the left weapon

[atomic halo]

yeah #% inc/more ele dmg is strictly better than cold/fire/light

[atomic halo]

it suprises me but i guess i can believe it

shows how important flat damage is

[rough widget]

stormwave obviously loses even more, 5k dps loss

[vernal ridge]

aite thanks, wanted to make sure i'm not missing anything

[distant canopy]

does ricochet do anything for spark? it's hard to tell if the projectiles are hitting a wall and then homing in on the target withing 6 meters

[soft lake]

If you can't tell then it's probably not worth using either way

[distant canopy]

i think ricochet counts as a regular "chain" effect and i am wearing a ring that disables chain effects

[soft lake]

It is a chain, yes

[sonic blade]

What jewels should I run on Minion Gemling Legionnaire?

[patent cloud]

Would a Chaos Witch work ok? And if so, what accendancy would you pick? 🤔 Been using chaos only so far and enjoy it, but I feel like maybe none of these accendancies fit and unsure what to do next.

Or maybe Blood Mage works, I dunno

[viscid tinsel]

Is there a decent layout/build for one that spirals around the circle? Like a build so crazy it just works

[spring atlas]

Does the acceleration support gem increase damage by 40% if you have the passive skill node "feathered fletching"?

[soft lake]

No

[spring atlas]

It says it applies projectile speed to damage as well, but when equiping the acceleration gem, i dont see any increase on dps

[soft lake]

Acceleration is more projectile speed, Feathered Fletching is increases and reductions

More and increased are functionally different in POE

[spring atlas]

ahhhh, interesting. Still trying to get used to the subtle verbage differences

[soft lake]

Increased means every source of increased gets added up together into a single multiplier, whereas each source of more is its own individual multiplier (and therefore generally stronger)

[spring atlas]

bummerr. Thought i found something cool. Lol, nvrm

[mossy wave]

any suggestions for defense if I went for the eternal youth node and abandoned energy shield as a witch

things still hitting hard though my sustain is better now

put in some strength but still only have around 940 health at lv45

[soft lake]

So if you have 25% increased damage, for instance, and then another 25% increased damage, that is 50% increased damage. Another 25% increased would take you to 75%

If you have 25% more damage and then another 25% more damage, that is 1.25*1.25=56.25% more damage. Another 25% would take you to 95.3% more

It's one of the most important distinctions in POE, I'd say, which is why I'm belabouring it, haha! And then you have reduced, which is the opposite of increased (so you just take it away from the total), and less which is a negative multiplier and the opposite of more

Good thought, though!

sup, im trash. ive made it to cruel and I'm at the point where I feel like if imma keep going frost sorc I should ask where am I going from here, esp what passives I need to live and when I can get them (I know a big transition for sorc is grabbing the chaos immunity and doing some shenanigans with having different life/mana/etc pool, idk what level).

I currently enjoy that its a bit of a slower style based on skills interacting more than them being 'strong' I am happy that they often feel 'strong enough'. I've gotten to the point that I can output some respectable burst damage with my ascendency res penetration+hypothermia+frostbomb and various crits on a frozen target, and frostwall can reliably freeze gigachad mobs. comet cost on freeze is a biiit pricy manawise on clearing trash and is somewhat overkill, but, it does help if I don't spam mana and is fun. kinda need for boss dps if nothing else helps the combo go hard.

I have an extra 30 spirit from my chestpiece, which I could potentially use for the witch energyshield regen, or try and buy some high ES+res armor. my res are sad and suspect soon bosses will wreck me as I'm 2 levels over the content im clearing atm

I have 3 free passive points and have no idea where to go from here but assume I need survivability somehow.

[spare swan]

Guys which venom draught should I pick for Witchhunter? I mostly use ignite gas grenades

[dense oriole]

Which Venom Veil is best for Merc?

[past pelican]

So even though one is higher item level, in poe2 are both of these the same the the lower item level better?

[wraith crag]

is there a bloodmage bulid that is focused around actual blood/curse and not some stupid elemental damage? I've chosen bloodmage cuz it gave me necromancer/dracula vibe and now im literally struggling to have enough mana regen and i did so much life regen in my bulid that I dont think its even worth it?

[tired folio]

The rolls have a range, the lower ilvl just has landed better rolls.

[crisp latch]

I've been trying to work out a chronomancer version of grimro's orbital laser build, and trying to figure out how badly it's going to miss the extra shock (compared to the tankiness of chronomancer's recoup and time freezing)
does lightning conduit get its massive added damage based on the shock it removes, or both shocks? IE if I have two 50% shocks on an enemy is that an extra 1000% increased damage just from LC over an enemy with just one 50% shock?

also, do the two shocks stack additively (essentially just one 100% shock in the above example) or multiplicatively?

[hot cobalt]

Do you gain anything on level up aside from a passive attribute point?

[lone wave]

are any minions considered to use mana for their spells/attacks or is this strictly a co op item

[tribal salmon]

how do i upgrade a rings quality?

[crisp latch]

I think party members specifically means players. if it included minions it would just say "allies" rather than party members

[lone wave]

Anyone got any build ideas where they'd use this?
Maybe a Gemling Merc stacking persistents?

[coral finch]

what are you guys using on the monk's bell? i use rage/font of rage/close combat
i've been debating overabundance (+1 maximum skill charges -50% duration) generally better for mobbing being able to drop bells constantly but dropping rage for it i just don't know what's better

[lone wave]

I like giving mine aoe increase and a font, ususally healing so far

[coral finch]

does rage cap? if i got skill tree gems with rage on hit etc maybe it would be overkill to use both of these gems anyway

[hot cobalt]

Do you remember what item / modifier?

[edgy sage]

if i want a witch minion build what ascendency should i go for?

[cursive maple]

How does shock work? If the enemy has 35% shock, are they taking 35% additonal damage?

[soft lake]

Essentially, yes

It can be a little more complex than that, and I can explain in depth if you'd like, but the simple answer is yes, they will take 35% increased damage

[cursive maple]

haha gotcha

no need, thank you

[soft lake]

No problem!

[unique wolf]

What do you guys think about Mace Monk?

[soft lake]

I think you start in a horrific place on the tree for playing a mace build

[kind tusk]

i was just gonna say, sounds like warrior with extra steps

[coral finch]

infernal

[unique wolf]

If I am an Invoker Monk would Bow be the second best option?

[cursive maple]

So at what point do I want to be replacing my items for items more my level?

Like I'm still using this from level 33

[soft lake]

Yeah, I don't see why a bow monk couldn't work

[cursive maple]

i killed black jaw in act 3 in like 5 seconds

[kind mountain]

question: rage stacks increase attack speed?

[soft lake]

If you're not struggling for damage then I'd say you probably don't need to worry about it urgently

[cursive maple]

gotcha

was just asking because I have like 7 exalt just sitting right now haha

[unique wolf]

I saw a Darkness Monk use bow and is immune to Chaos dmg, has 5k ES and just doesnt get hit

[cursive maple]

so if killing bosses takes too long

[hot cobalt]

Hi guys do you gain anything other than a passive point on level up?

[cursive maple]

probably time to upgrade my weapon?

[soft lake]

No, each stack of rages gives 1% more attack damage (more is multiplicative)

[unique wolf]

But if I am Invoker Monk with a Bow, what should I follow on my Passive Skill Tree/what ascen do I take?

[soft lake]

Yep! For now, just keep an eye out for any upgrades but don't worry about it too much if you're not struggling

[kind mountain]

oh nice

[plain osprey]

does Hexblast only explode one curse? or two at the same time if you have Whispers of Doom?

[soft lake]

It depends on how you want to build really - what skills you want to use, etc. There's not really a set answer to that question

[unique wolf]

Looking for an Elemental Type build, since I have Acrobatics I am currently already stacking ES

I also have tons of support gems for elemental related shenanigans

Sitting at 72% ES with Acro

[soft lake]

Yeah, I mean I'd say elemental is the way to go with Invoker in general, but beyond that it's difficult to say. Do you want lightning themed? Cold themed? Crit or non-crit?

[unique wolf]

Lightning No Crit

[soft lake]

Lightning Arrow is probably the easiest bow skill to make work, I would think, but it's definitely not the only option

[sick zenith]

As an armour stacker, is there any options to protect myself against armour breakers or nah?

[main jetty]

at what map tier can i expect to get my jeweler orb? (5-link?) im at T7 and still havent seen one...

[hot cobalt]

Hi guys do you gain anything other than a passive point on level up?

[soft lake]

You gain some max life and mana, I believe

[hot cobalt]

Got mines like t2

Oh wait u mean perfect

Idk about perfect

[lean hound]

Chat,
Is there a support gem that gives you more armor/Energy Shield/ Evasion for power charges you currently have?

[main jetty]

perfect? is that the 2nd tier? im talking about 5-link, not 6-link...

[hot cobalt]

Start with 2, lesser for 3, greater for 4, and perfect for 5 I believe

[visual seal]

guys on the trading site im looking for a mace, which part do i fill in for the damage? like i want min 100 dmg but even if i fill the physical dmg min 100 i get 60-100 items

[kind mountain]

Question, what daze does? cant find anything about it

[main jetty]

well, whatever the name is, im still running with only 3 support gems at t7... and wondering if im just unlucky or if GGG screwed up droprates again...

[soft lake]

Hold alt and click on the word (assuming it's underlined) and it should tell you

[soft lake]

They seem rare, they're going for 1 divine on trade

[kind mountain]

where i do that?

[cursive maple]

@soft lake is there an "optimal" level I should buy gear at?

[soft lake]

Wherever you see the word "daze" should probably have it, I would imagine

[soft lake]

Not really, it's just a case of "when you feel like you need it"

[cursive maple]

gotcha

as long as my resistances are maxed right?

[soft lake]

Maxed res is obviously good, but a lot of people won't necessarily have them maxed out during the campaign

[main jetty]

is there a cap on honor resistance in sekhemas trial?

[terse escarp]

if my charged staff does lightning and cold dmg, does primal armament increase the damage of both?

[soft lake]

Not that I know of. But your starting honour is your combined total life + energy shield

[main jetty]

i mean if u get 100% honor res, will u take no honor dmg?

[soft lake]

Primal Armament is 25% more weapon elemental damage, right? If so, yes

[night pebble]

What are the best support gems to put on your warrior persistent skills? Specifically herald of ash and overwhelming presence

[soft lake]

Ohhh. Erm, in theory yes, but I would imagine it's capped at 75% or 90%

[terse escarp]

yeah, the wording "weapon elemental damage' confused me tho

[soft lake]

It means you have to be dealing damage with a weapon - ie, it's not a spell or an unarmed attack

[terse escarp]

it just increases all elemental damage in said skill?

[terse escarp]

gotchu

[hard wyvern]

Hey guys, does Vaal orb remove affixes on rare items if it fails?

[storm willow]

this upgrade is trash if im using sunder build with warrior right?

[mellow escarp]

Does Envenom do anything on skills that guarantee poison on hit? Can it inflict 2 stacks 50% of the time?

[terse escarp]

frost buildup is directly tied to frost damage dealt right? (aside from passive buildup increases)

[astral badger]

I'm working on my ice sorc, level 73, pure ice. focus on the passive tree is typical cold/element damage, mana regen, cast speed, cold pen, chill, freeze buildup etc. I'm using frostbolt, frost bomb, frost wall, hypo, ice nova, comet, cold snap. is there something additional I can use in my last slot that takes advantage of all this? I have a staff that grants freezing shards but i never use it.

[sleek slate]

man how the heck am i supposed to figure out what the chance of ignite or shock is

[hoary juniper]

are there any plans we know of to fix trigger skills? build is bricked and motivation is lost

[night pebble]

What are the best support gems to put on your warrior persistent skills? Specifically herald of ash and overwhelming presence

[near yew]

has anyone gotten the +crit hit chance mod?

cant find it on the poe trade website, worth anytinhg?

[visual venture]

did they reduce the rez reduction in maps?

[pine marsh]

which venom do i take for gas grenade witchhunter? elemental ailments or mana regen???

[sick zenith]

ailments

u can fix mana regen through other means

ailments is valuable af

[cursive maple]

probably time to replace these gloves?

the white mobs at Utzaal are starting to hurt LOL

damage an issue right now though

[storm willow]

is this upgrade trash if im using sunder build on my warrior?

[coral finch]

has anyone built monk for tankiness? i really wanted to, seemed so much better but stat restrictions for gear/skills forced me into dex/int which meant evasion and it just doesn't feel like i dodge that many hits, currenty at 61% chance to dodge and after losing the strength items i had it seems i just die if i don't dodge, it doesn't feel good to be evasion monk rn

(yes ik chance to dodge is affected by enemy accuracy but still)

is it better to be pure evasion or mix all gear that can with evasion/shield

[winged topaz]

For stormweaver, is going pure lightning better than also speccing into fire using flame wall

[dawn spire]

Does sunder have a strike or projectile tag? If it doesn't have either, I don't think it can ever miss

[dawn spire]

What do you mean by speccing into fire? Like getting fire nodes on the tree? Or shaper of flames in the ascendancy?

[soft lake]

It's because Sunder gets a guaranteed crit against enemies with broken armour. So it's probably a bad node to take, yes @storm willow

[dawn spire]

Ah, yeah

[storm willow]

alr thx

[winged topaz]

Using fire nodes in tree. Ive been using sparks with flame wall my whole run, currently level 58, but im considering ditching the fire all together and scaling straight lightning

[dawn spire]

Flame wall still gives a good amount of damage without any investment. Splitting your tree between lightning and fire just for flame wall seems like a stretch to me

[azure maple]

assuming no lol, but does dreamcatcher work with eldritch battery?

[chrome maple]

what should i spend my divine on as spark stormweaver

[calm mauve]

im so livid with myself ... i think i dropped my unique ring somehow ><

[fallen anchor]

Anyone here know what are some actual useful / decent stats on Jewels for a Deadeye now? I have 3 open sockets and was hoping to fix attirbutes but see that you can't get anything remotely useful / flexible on Jewels anymore.

[calm mauve]

Bitterness is a good stat overall

[kind timber]

is there an easy way to tell what "lowest level" mod is on an item? for the omen that removes lowest level mod

[unkempt plover]

charged staff - ice bite - innervate - conduction
tempest flurry - martial tempo - primal armament - close combat

are these good support links for charged staff + tempest flurry on invoker monk, or should i change something
i have flat cold on the quarterstaff

[dreamy mulch]

Ya idk how to see tiers of prefixes beyond listing it on trade. In one there’s a option in options to show level of mods but I couldn’t find it

[rapid seal]

Is accuracy needed for totems?

As in - do totems miss?

[dawn spire]

If the totem uses a strike or projectile, yes. See what tags it has.

Only strikes and projectiles are evadable. So if you use an attack that's neither of those, you don't need accuracy

My mind was blown when I learned this about poe2

[flat orbit]

anybody selling (not irl $ obv) an advanced slicer quarterstaff?

[fallen anchor]

Lowest Tier perhaps? If you hold "Alt" in while hovering over the item on the right hand side you will see a Tx (x number) next to each stat - the higher the number the better the roll.

[fallen anchor]

trying to be funny?

[calm mauve]

😐

after the last patch i couldnt wear my unique boots.. had to get 5 lvls!

so hexblast... anyone have any favourite support gems for it?

im using supercritical, inevitable critical and concentrated effect

[kind timber]

oh i didnt realize those numbers were there for some reason i straight up never saw them

[ember relic]

what is +# to all melee skill gems classed as for catalysts?

attack or physical?

[coral finch]

thoughts what might be good on herald of thunder? (ice/lightning monk) i have conduction/overcharge on charged staff already

i have 155 spirit with my chest piece, 30x4=120 cost of base passives and +25 on active skill gems leaves me only 10 extra if one of the gems for it add more spirit cost

[dull spade]

Could someone explain to me why "heft" increases lightning rods damage?

its a converison spell 100% yet people use it on lightning rod and get tooltip damage. it doesnt say "extra" damage just "more maximum physical"

[hidden swan]

can anyone clarify the wording for me on Siesmic Cry?
The part

Empowers the next Melee Slam Attack you perform, plus an additional Attack per Endurance Charge consumed
Does that mean if I had 3 charges that I would get my next three slam attacks empowered, or does my next single slam attack do an empowered attack with an extra three attacks? (ie clicking my leap slam would hit four times from three charges).

[glad mist]

With this, the rare build begins

[gray swallow]

Hallo, rather scrubby and trash player asking advice on how to fix a issue with my homebrew build. First of im going full caster (only fire) infernalist

im currently running CI and Pyromatic Grinning immolation, for somereason, this makes Grinning immolation deal 0 dmg to me (which is great!) but it stops my ES regen, so i thought id run (eternal youth) on my 2ndary weapon set along with Blink + cdr shield. But seems u cant have major nodes on weapon sets. Any idea on how to fix this?

[flat orbit]

anybody have two extra lvl 4 spirit gems by chance?

[coral finch]

what are you guys using on herald of thunder?

[flat orbit]

supports?

[coral finch]

yeah

[flat orbit]

innervate + coursing current

[coral finch]

im using conduction/overcharge already so looking for other slots

ok sweet, and if you could do a 3rd?

just curious if you had something in mind

[flat orbit]

like with my two or your two as the existing ones?

[coral finch]

well we're using the same 2 now haha but i have a 3rd slot open for it

could do culling strike but weighing options

[flat orbit]

ngl idk

i just started trying this build like a hour ago

so not super knowledgeable on it yet

cuz im trying a passive-centered build

[coral finch]

yeah it's nice having 4 passives tbh

only had to get spirit on my armour chest to get there

[gusty reef]

Can someone help me un*uck my stormweaver build? I tried to pivot from cast on freeze to elec and my dmg is wayyyy worse

[flat orbit]

yeah i need two lvl 4 spirit gems to get my last 2 skills

i have 2 empty slots cuz no spirit gems LOL

[lapis hatch]

Guys, does anyone know if Eternal Youth works with Consuming Questions?

[flat orbit]

anybody selling advanced slicing quarterstaff?

[plain osprey]

is herald of plague bugged? it doesnt seem to do shit for me lol

nvm didnt turn it on

[molten sedge]

can u improve the skill gem quality of poison conc

[soft lake]

Here's a slightly specific question: Chain support says "Supported skills deal 50% less damage with hits". Does this mean if I apply poison with a skill using Chain, I get 50% less poison magnitude? Or does it specifying with hits mean the poison magnitude is exempt from the damage penalty?

Scattershot, for instance, has a generic "Supported skills deal 20% less damage" which means it absolutely will affect poison, but the wording on Chain implies maybe that's not the case?

[analog gale]

any ideas for what the best uses for this are?

i know you can use it to blink really fast

you could use it to get 0 cooldown grenades

[flat orbit]

anybody selling advanced slicing quarterstaff?

[storm willow]

if there is a passive that gives me +10% strength, that will be applied to my max strength (183 in my case), or it will be applied on my base strength (without counting the strength from items), it will give me +18,3 strength or than that?

[soft lake]

Just check the trade site, there's no point asking in a build planning channel

[soft lake]

It will apply to all sources of flat strength - ie, anything that says "+# strength" on the passive tree or items

[storm willow]

so it should be +18,3 strength right?

[soft lake]

So yeah, you'll gain 18 strength (it will round down)

[storm willow]

thanks god

[cobalt musk]

bro what are some stormweaver builds that isn't spark and fireball frostwall

i hate spark archmage in poe1 too

[analog gale]

i suppose you could go stormweaver and reduce the cooldown of elemental storm

[left matrix]

Any1 tried a Warbringer Armor Shatter build with Bow?

Rain of arrows over walls and watch it all go boom

[amber forge]

if I have 2 golden charms equip does the effect stack?

[plain osprey]

i've tried like 3 builds now for chayula monk and it all feels like absolute shit to play.
anyone got a suggestion for chayula bow monk?

[analog finch]

is minion skill is scam ?

i did many thing but still i am week

someone answer me pls ,,

[storm willow]

if i put a jewel on my skill tree, can i remove it or that will be permanent?

[quasi socket]

no you can right click to unsocket it

[storm willow]

oh nice

[quasi socket]

the cost of respeccing is so high im honestly considering just restarting this character. and i'm very disappointed in merc. guy gets a machine gun crossbow but seemingly his highest damage output is the grenades. is there a viable build that actually uses the bow or is it just permafrost, explosive shot, and grenades?

[analog gale]

i think deadeye is probably best for that kind of build

+1 projectiles is just more damage

[sacred sparrow]

Can you crit with Grenades?

[frozen pine]

for sorceress I spent on an alternative frost build after cof nerf and it's still awful, so little damage. what do we have now, archmage electricity and like frostfire?

please can anyone tell me which atributes to get for this build

please

does it matter?

[sacred sparrow]

To equip gear in the int catagory you'll need int.

[coarse shale]

Is there a way to reduce the delay of curses with a lvl 1 support gem? Would "Fast Forward" work?

[torpid halo]

is that the only use for stats?

[lyric helm]

anyone has experience with TC EoW BI Comet Tanky Low Life Infernalist ? I started theorycrafting something similar but this is already very refined. I'm only doubting surviviability vs traditionnal life/armor minion infernalist (video of the build here)

[torpid halo]

equip gear, it does not influence in anything else?

Is there a way to convert (excess) accuracy rating into damage?

okay I think this is what Ive settled on for my tree, including planning out my 24 swap points so I get a buncha movespeed and CDR for shield charging around on weapon swap, zoom zoom

What does the infernalist trigger chain look like for srs?

[calm mauve]

https://tenor.com/view/cease-your-heresy-gif-19891262

[analog gale]

stats also give bonuses, like you get 2 life per 1 strength

theres also some stuff that scales based on stats

[flat adder]

is it me or this passive does not actually give aftershock chances?

[nimble blade]

Does cast speed to allies affect arsonist attack speed?

[grim burrow]

-saves it for later idears-

[analog gale]

it would be nice if you could assign a skill gem to each weapon set

and one not count as being used when its swapped out

so you could use the like 25% more attack speed support in both sets

currently im just using my weapon swap to shield charge with my crossbow character

thats now bricked

it was a galcial bolt armor eplosion warbringer

[potent quest]

waitaminute, so if I wanna use a second weapon, which I should considering the game seems to be designed about comboing stuff from 2 elements or other interactions... does that mean I need to get a second shield if I am using wands???

if that is the case, that is wrong

[mortal tartan]

Does armor break benefit the chaos damage over time debuffs in the occult skill section? Does it make sense to add poison and armor break on poison on Essence drain? Or am I wasting suport slots?

Hey, would there be some kind of guide on how to actually clear maps

I feel like whenever i clear my maps (i'm still in act 2) i'm running around and losing so much time trying to clear out corners

are there any tips that could help me on clearing faster without losing shit ,

[woven scroll]

are the 3 charms good enough to cap my resistances?

[plain osprey]

someone told me something about int increasing AoE size, what do u need for that? i couldn't find anything on the skill tree

[idle plover]

search for "area of effect"

there is also a support gem i think

[plain osprey]

there doesnt seem to be anything that increases aoe size per int though

[stuck tusk]

Pillar of the caged god is what your thinking of. Its a unique quarterstaff that gives AoE for int

[idle plover]

ah sorry, didnt read "int"

[plain osprey]

ooooh, that's cool tyty

[proper sinew]

you can teleport between respawn points now

[plain osprey]

you have to discover them first

which means... u gotta clear to the next one

[weak knoll]

I meant like for exemple here idk if i'm efficiently clearing the map cuz i'm just following 1 trail

[simple gust]

Need help for endgame, i am clearing Tier 4 easily and Tier 5 med, currently using Galvanic Build for Merc can someone help me optimize this for better dmg & def?

[heady palm]

I'm feeling a bit limited with melee.
I'm playing a warbringer, currently seismic cry + totems.
I am severely bored of the playstyle, and tried a few options.
Slams, sunders - even recently tried to brainstorm a ignite/bleed, but the playstyle is similar.
It also feels pretty hard to scale (seismic cry), as it's mostly based off my strength - I'm on T15 maps currently.

I'm looking for new build ideas / directions:

• Happy with a slower playstyle - was the initial reason I went warrior.
• Big damage done slow.
• Ideally as scalable as possible - via perfect gear, trees, jewels, etc.
• Viable for bossing / all end-game content.
• NOT grenades (not a fan of the playstyle)

Any recommendations?
Was thinking of some homecooked stormweaver+bow build, but not sure.

[old oriole]

Any sorc player?

Hi, I have +48 spirit amulet and +31 spirit vest but my total spirit is 44 rn

is it normal?

[tidal copper]

According to my math
...

No!

[proper sinew]

you mean 44 of X or 44 of 44?

[proper sinew]

shouldnt you have at least 60 from quests x_X?

[honest turret]

if I replace a 22% increased fire damage with a + 13 -19 fire damage to attacks, will i get lower dps? The difference between the two is a litttle confusing damage-wise.

[hollow phoenix]

IDK I just changed my passive skill tree from cold to lightning

[tidal copper]

Is the bar next to the mana right ?
Maybe that shows current spirit?

[hollow phoenix]

😐

[proper sinew]

the more %increase you have the better flat dmg becomes, and vice versa

[pale jewel]

Anyone knows how does the interaction between Mind over matter, Eldritch Battery and %Increased ES shield passive tree nodes work? I tried picking some but I didnt see my mana increase. Also would be interesting to know how it works with Everlasting Gaze

[proper sinew]

eldritch battery happens straight from items, all the energy shield increases from passive tree are useless

[tidal copper]

Very interesting I guess our math is all wrong
We shall consider this discoveries

[honest turret]

oh so then, for example 13-19 to attacks won't affect my merc grenades at all as it will be considered projectile?

[proper sinew]

there are attacks and spells, everything(?) that does dmg is either of those

[honest turret]

ohh i see, so it is important.

thank you

💟

[hollow phoenix]

@tidal copper

I've tried removing my gems items

and still 44

😐

I just got bugged I think

[simple gust]

Which one is important

Elemental dmg for lightning build on crossbow or

pure dps

[weak knoll]

when do I get more space for more links ?

[foggy tinsel]

has anyone made an unkillable gigatank build? like i can go afc in t15 maps?

[pale jewel]

I see thanks. So im guessing Everlasting gaze wouldnt "retro feed" itself in this case with EB? or since it comes from an item do you think it would? Like the %mana converted to ES would get again converted to mana because of EB

[tidal copper]

The last possibility is that the server is all funky and you just need to restart

It'll be a disappointing conclusion though

[proper sinew]

that would be an infinite cycle, so i doubt it works
or maybe just on pre eldritch mana... dunno

[pale jewel]

Hmm well I all have to find out myself lol, since everlasting gaze says "Gain x% of maximum mana as maximum energy shield" and maximum energy shield from items DOES converto to mana from EB...

[hot cobalt]

Hi I can help, what is ur issue?(nvm u having a spirit issue cant help)

[pale jewel]

maybe? 😆

[thick herald]

Is chill always applied before freezing enemy?

[proper sinew]

different ailments
can have both at once

[thick herald]

alright thanks

[pale jewel]

Oh from a reddit post i think im understanding now how it works with everlasting Gaze. The maximum energy shield that you get from that conversion does not count towards the Eldritch Battery conversion, so you still have energy shield even with Eldritch battery, hence why the build im following takes %ES passive tree nodes

[crude zealot]

I have a question regarding Cast on Ignite. Let's say I want to use Fireball with multiple projectiles as the main skill and trigger Firestorm upon ignition for some additional damage. Assuming that I'd use something like cascading Firewall too, and there would be another player's minions (like Hellhound and SRS) constantly igniting enemies, how frequently would Firestorm actually be triggered? I don't exactly understand how the required energy would be generated in this scenario - I feel all those multiple sources of ignite would work against each other (Firewall/Hellhound AoE effect preventing Fireball from igniting, successive casts/projectiles of Fireball not igniting at all due to the enemy already being ignited by the first hit, etc.). Could someone clarify?

[robust wyvern]

How does Pyromantic Pact (Mana to Infernal Flame) work together with: Mind over Matter (Damge is taken from Mana, instead of Health).

[mortal arrow]

Looking for oaksworn shield and Ullr sandals if anyone has them

[shell temple]

were u able to confirm impending doom? I see it sometimes consume a curse so it feels like it works. hard to tell without dmg numbers

[vague kelp]

gas arrow counts as hit damage?

[amber violet]

Hey everyone, I was wondering how high the priority is for increased rarity of items found on non-self-found?
Does this create a meaningful difference in farming potential? Is it worth taking it into consideration when looking for gear?
Thanks in advance!

[hushed viper]

"The Considered Casting Support now only supports Spells you cast yourself. It also now grants 40% more Spell Damage (from 25%) and 15% less Cast Speed (from 10%)."

does this mean that Considered Casting is useless on Cast on X gems?

[rapid herald]

Does anyone know if the trigger effect on crit triggers on the new lightning bolts that are made, thus making an endless loop if everything crits?

[halcyon solar]

Where can i find that "Detonate Minion" Skill (not Detonate Dead)? I've looked into Skill, Spirit and Support Gems.

it's supposed to just detonate th unearth summons

[rough kelp]

triggers use mana

so yea until you run out

[rapid herald]

There's no cooldown on it? And does it only use the lightning bolt it provides?

[rough kelp]

? wdym

[vernal willow]

Just so I know

Is Sorcery Ward affected by resistances?

[rapid herald]

Is there an internal cooldown on the item? If you have a higher level lightning bolt, does it use that one or the one the item provides?

[rough kelp]

it gives you a skill I believe

and you slot the supports in it

Idk how the skill level work tho

[proper sinew]

i accidentally had around 110% on my gear on early mapping and it does make a difference, but you are probably better off doing higher/harder maps through combat stats overall, considering the amount of rarity% you can get from maps

[rapid herald]

So, just to verify, it does not have a cooldown on the trigger effect? I guess I could try and test it but I am only in act 1 cruel and don't have any good gear.

[tranquil steeple]

Yep, but it’s not a brick, if an item has it it has it, but something with better combat improvements will do better in the long run

[rustic vortex]

does increasing raging spirit lvl increase its dmg?

[rough kelp]

Yea it doesnt

[rapid herald]

Awesome. Gonna try do a build on it. Thinking of a large aoe crit build with it. Maybe even try to combine CoF with it as well for freezing potential.

[rough kelp]

not sure about the aoe you could run spark crit and every time spark crit a mob you would proc it

[rapid herald]

Thanks for the help. I hope you get all the loot you want 🙂

[halcyon solar]

Did the market prices in PoE1 Leagues scale down at some point again. From like the current quite hefty prices?

[nimble fiber]

I am currently diggin into Gathering Storm which is very fun to play. Now i was wondering where the aoe is coming from. I am guessing the aoe tag is for the shockwave component but the aoe damage you can see (700% attack damage on a perfect dash!) comes from +10 melee strike range, right? So adding more aoe wouldnt do alot but skilling the +2 melee strike range node would?
Also i wonder what bleed damage a Gathering Storm Blood Witch would do.

[sterile stone]

what are the main drawbakcs of MoM builds? im minion and i saw people doing ES instead of MoM EB, wouldnt MoM is better bcs of the passive mana regen?

[remote wind]

can someone explain to me what it means? i'm confused because my english isn't that great

[sterile stone]

that is confusing even me that are familiar with the game

but i dont think the text really matters in practice

[rapid herald]

Can you wear two of the same unique or no?

[sterile stone]

like to put it simply, eg: if you do ignite then scale fire damage

you can yes

[rapid herald]

Nice ty

[sterile stone]

A contribute to the Magnitude of B, then you just scale whatever A is

[rapid herald]

When a modifier says it adds crit chance for a spell, it's only calculating crit from the spell's base crit, right? Does anything in the game add a flat crit % or increase the base crit amount?

[granite ice]

Guys one question please ? i Can Change my acenssion ?

[sterile stone]

Malice aura & Eye of Winter

not sure if theres more

there prolly is

[sterile stone]

you cant, for now

[amber violet]

Thanks for the tip :-)

[oblique marlin]

folks is there a good physical Deadeye build?

[tidal copper]

Coward play bleed concoction also someone was yapping about it in the thread https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1316846032977662002

[fickle thistle]

What use is Lingering Illusion for? Doesnt seem that good? any cool ideas people done with it?

[slender furnace]

@oblique marlin I'm playing spiral/snipe bleed ranger...but still early. Though I did see videos of others playing in high tier maps so viable enough for me to try and make it work

@fickle thistle power charge generator

[peak mango]

any idea for perfect strike tree and maybe some uniques? right now it looks like this

[fickle thistle]

seems kinda hard to get to work tho, illusion dies pretty quickly

is that all it can be used for? no gimmicks with specific supports ?

[slender furnace]

Who knows. Game isn't solved.

[lean horizon]

does fire exposure increase ignite damage?

this wording implies not?

[high relic]

Why removing THIS amulet my Evasion goes from 5157 to 2.8k?

16% evasion rating is not THAT much

[fickle thistle]

It has attributes, so maybe unequipping it is dropping your attributes to a point where another item or two is no longer equipped

[tidal copper]

[high relic]

You are right

[neat dock]

are there any grenade build guides out there? new to poe, just beat zarokh but honestly my build felt really weak as it took me like over 5 minutes to do this fight, not sure how to make this build stronger

[balmy gull]

Hello mates. How to make 6-link Elemental Storm? By P. jewelers orb or it's lvl caped?

[honest ingot]

What should i 4 link my siege cascade with? anyone tried the newly buffed gem since yday?

[proper sinew]

unlocked by level, 5L was lv65 iirc

[balmy gull]

90? I'm 89 and stil 5-l

[proper sinew]

dunno when 6l unlocks, maybe lv100 :P

[polar zealot]

It should be 90

It matches the level of skill gems

84 is level 19

Level 20 is 90

My concoction is also 5 link and I'm level 87

[proper sinew]

at least it seems to exist

[balmy gull]

Yeah, i goin his guide.

[scarlet helm]

is there a decent fire sorceress build? i’m still super early into the game i only got it yesterday level 13 but idk

i was thinking bout just making a new character now

[agile meteor]

What items should i change/upgrade? Pls help ❤️ I am lvl 75 infernalist

[proper sinew]

afaik all sorcs with fire spells convert firedmg to cold

[left matrix]

Pretty sure that applying frozen is not worth sacrificing ignite damage, considering the numerous ways to apply frozen

[left island]

Anyone got annointment recommendations for Glacial Bolt + Frag Rounds, crit Witch Hunter?
(Dellirium passive-granting amulet enchant)
I was thinking Vulgar Methods or Overwhelming Strike, but it seems kinda basic, tbh.

[hard wyvern]

finally an upgrade

[subtle gale]

Has anyone here been messing around with decay or impending doom? I've stacked ~330 int and about 2.2k mana at level 50 but neither deal any useable amount of damage. They both feel extremely underpowered

[peak solstice]

Hitting 90 soon and wondering how long will it take hit max lvl 100 from 90?

[rough kelp]

long

the highest is 98 rn

so yea

[left matrix]

Damn lol... no one has hit 100?

[tawdry whale]

He’s been 98 for several days too

[proper sinew]

i bet some korean/chinese is on his way to his 2nd 100

[left matrix]

Thats terrifying yet awesome lol

[sand cape]

Does anyone know if ancestral totem has its own limit or is it shared with the regular totem for warrior?

[normal fable]

Whats the meta build for sorc?

[elder plank]

hey everyone. question about mitigation: atm. i am playing a block/armor warbringer (molten blast armor explosion) and it's superbly tanky.

i want to play a quarterstaff build next (not monk, don't like the asc) and i was wondering about the options: ES usually is ignored by chaos/bleed/poison, so i don't feel like i should heavily invest into this unless i go CI and stack ES.

Idk about the accuracy of mobs atm and wonder if evasion is worth it or not?

armor works super well and passive block ofc does wonders. only gripe is pools of poison on my warb.

is it worth to go maybe hybrid armor/evasion then? possibly then merc or ranger quarterstaff then?

[floral patio]

Any Blasphemy users around? Trying to get a vibe check on what jewel stats you are looking at? Using Despair socketed with jewels with auras have 10% stronger effect have nulified the downsides from socketing it into an aura. Anyone find uses like this to make it stronger? Was thinking adding Enfeeble for damage mitigation too

[normal fable]

Blasp and enfeeble are really good together

[hazy plank]

IS the Jagged Ground support bugged? i cant seem to get it to work, tried with rollign slam but never proccs

[static spade]

Correct me if I'm wrong. Is there a charm that gives you immunity towards ignite?

[obtuse zealot]

So Wildshards doesn't shoot in a spiral anymore...What to use for Fireball supports then? I'm a demonform stacking Infernalist

[static spade]

Does anyone have this?

Does this mean I'm free to use this?

[tidal copper]

It has charges read the charm

[icy dome]

any idea why profane ritual won't consume two corpses if i use spell echo or/and spell cascade with it

[oblique marlin]

can you link those videos?

[harsh halo]

is it possible to get 3rd curse slot without that +1 curse unique ring? is there something more on the tree besides the Whispers of Doom?

[static spade]

Alright, I was confused how charges works at first. Thank you

[crystal sleet]

hi i have a question: i have 20% movementspeed on my boots and choose a passive node that gives 4% movespeed, if i look at my stats now it says i have 20.3% movespeed does the passive node only increase it by 0.3%?

[tidal copper]

There is a hidden movement speed debuff in all body armours -5%
It still doesn't quite fit does it?

[gusty bone]

Who is behind the minions data on poe2db? It is not accurate, the HP values are way higher than in game.

[obtuse zealot]

It increases your incerases by 4%

so it takes your movement speed then multiplies it by 1.04

[gusty bone]

But you still get the upgraded effect?

[obtuse zealot]

and 20*1,04 is 20.8, but you have a bodyarmor that reduces it as Lady iLori said

[crystal sleet]

damn that would make that node really useless then lol

[obtuse zealot]

which results in whatever movespeed you have. Movespeed on tree is kinda worthless

Yep

[rigid sage]

What's the item level mean?

[amber violet]

I think it allows for the properties to be in higher value brackets

[oblique marlin]

bleed deadeye viable? any guides?

[rigid sage]

So should be able to still wear it if I'm lower level?

[icy dome]

no, it only works with Unleashed

[rigid sage]

Only required level is what I need to watch out for

[obtuse zealot]

You can only ever have 1 bleed on an enemy. Deadeye barely gives any direct damage increases that push the power of 1 shot

[crystal sleet]

tested it when i took away the passive node it went down to 16.4% movespeed so the 4% node gave me 3.9%

[obtuse zealot]

the closest thing to a good bleed skill you have is snipe, and Barrage as its best "wingman" supportskill kinda just gives more arrows which doesn't really help. Poison works I reckon? But ele conversion and Poison are kinda the ways to go rn I feel like

[obtuse zealot]

Then that's one of the nodes that work properly, I saw someone say there are movespeed nodes that only increase your already existing increases

so keep an eye on that ig

[amber violet]

Yeah required level is the level you have to be, item level is just how potentially powerful it can be

[rigid sage]

Sweet thankyou

[sly summit]

Someone in monk chat said that once you hit an enemy once with an attack with electrocute all other lightning damage from attacks without electrocute will help buildup. Can anyone confirm or deny?

[obtuse zealot]

It does work that way with electrocuting rod from Ranger, but only for a duration and that's how the skill is supposed to work. kinda doubt that's the default behaviour as no other ailment works like that

[main cedar]

I've seen some players being very successful on spark bm but can't find anything online about it. Can someone point me in the right direction with how to build it?

[sly summit]

Yeah seemed too good to be true

[obtuse zealot]

Lotsa people also just put out buildguides who have 0 clue that "clearing t1 maps 40% of the time" isn't a good quality, but a bad one 😅 Gotta be careful who to trust rn, lotsa cloutchasers who barely test what they spout.

[pale jewel]

Stormweavers in chat, what delirium passive would you put in everlasting gaze

[sly minnow]

how is it possible that some people use the bell and use a spell? i thought u can only use bell when use quarterstaff

[livid hamlet]

You can use the spell with whatever weapon you want

they are not weapon dependent

[grizzled yoke]

Yo, someone playing warbringer? Someone knows what is warcallers bellow Crit chance?

[obtuse zealot]

Yep most spells aren't tied to weapons, see occult + elemental tab when cuttin a gem

[grizzled yoke]

In theory you can use it with spirit gem which gives you ability to detonate minions

3 brutes detonation on warcry sounds massive

[floral patio]

Monk chat?!

[knotty spruce]

Anyone tried using whirling assault on monk? Gona try and use it with my chaos wind monk and wondering what gems i should use

Trying to figure out as well what would be a good skill to use my mantra of destruction on but not finding much for a phys monk

[livid hamlet]

Is it worth to invest into item rarity early ?

Like tier 5 maps and so ?

[frozen summit]

Can anyone help, does thorns trigger on hit effects? like how rings have +1-4 physical damage on hit ect.

[cedar shuttle]

i want herold of ash and i have 31 STR -- what lvl of uncut spirt gem do i need to get it work (40 spirit i have spare )

[craggy gyro]

what are the benefits of avatar of fire?

[vestal scroll]

how do i get enough life recovery to run blood magic

[spare quartz]

There's not one helmet with Life and Increased evasion % on the market. Rare item, in demand, or the combo doesn't exist? Or just not a popular thing to list for sale?

I'm realizing Life is more important than stacking evasion for my ranger, as the evasion will diminish in return and gotta be able to avoid one shots

[chilly radish]

is there any tool to see jewel radius on the passive tree?

[glad tapir]

what are the best jewels to use for a minion build ?

[hasty meadow]

hi im still confused with deadeye, so we just full stack evasion with 0 armor? or should we build armor a little?

[agile pelican]

Is eldritch battery a good node?

[lone temple]

You can do armor with deadeye it all depends on the gear and the nods you take

Evasion is most likely the way you'd want to go though

[sturdy ivy]

ive got my hands on a collapsing horizon since this thing just shouts for coc-shenanigans. ive now tried whirling assault and i get 1% energy per crit for a frostbolt proc. is this normal? is coc not just bad but just straight up unusable?

[lone temple]

Without context it is impossible to answer. It is a good node if you build for it

[hasty meadow]

im trying to understand how people gearing up their deadeye with 0 armour
whats their dmg mitigation ? tailwind and eva only enough?

[lone temple]

conversion and flat reduction yep

[agile pelican]

fair, Im currently in the area for it and big mana pool is appealing but I feel like id like to have energy shield,

[queen current]

Hi, I have a question about stunning. Do I need physical damage to stun enemies? If so, will I never be able to stun someone when I use avatar of fire?

[agile pelican]

Theres a weird stretch on the bottom right that shouldnt be there mb

[native hare]

+max life is not useful at all for CI builds, right?

[hasty meadow]

hmm sorry can explain more about conversion and flat reduce? haha
cos eva is like miss chance right? and tailwind is just %dmg reduction per stack?

[sterile stone]

im using +3 & 30% cast speed staff, 4L, 36% exposure, why does it feels like i dont have dmg

act 2

[rapid abyss]

hey quick question: is herald of plague poison spread (1.7meter) added to the 1.5 poison spread ascendancy skill (pathfinder class) or is the 1.5m just overwritten by herald of plague?

[sterile stone]

coming from minion, that thing feels like mowing acts

[gusty bone]

How does minion's stats scale with gem level? The one in poe2db is not accurate.

[lone temple]

eldrich will give you a better mana pool if you have ES on your gear but any ES bonus won't apply. So it is a really specific node that can be useful if you have a really good ES on gear and a build around a huge mana pool with regen. You generally dont take it because you are around it.

[lone temple]

Without armor you need a way to mitigate physical hits so phys taken as X, flat reduction (Tailwind), recoupe

[neat dew]

Doesn't stack unfortunately so HoP is only usefull for non pathfinder poison builds

[rapid abyss]

thanks very much. ill skip on it then. hinder isnt worth the aura i guess

[neat dew]

You can still pick HoP and extend the range with supports if that's what you want, but I didn't deem it worth the spirit and have my magnified effects on other skills

[rapid abyss]

noo id rather go for damage xd

[neat dew]

You are gonna get the poison spread from pathfinder anyway, since you want the node after that boosting your poison. So to me it's not worth

[rapid abyss]

yee, im thinking to go cast on crit with mark skill or some niche stuff.

i dont have the int yet but cast on crit into mark skill sounds reasonably cool

big poison concation buff perhaps, even for my poison cuz main hit damage = more poison dmg

[forest pollen]

Can someone please help? I am playing infernalist witch (SRS and Arsonists), which skill gem should i Upgrade quality to 20% first? I'm not sure what they do...

[rapid abyss]

press alt on the gem. it should below all the other blue info show what quality does to the gem

[forest pollen]

i tried that but it's unclear, and arsonists doesnt say anything

[rapid abyss]

is arsonist from a gem or ascendancy?

[forest pollen]

gem

[rapid abyss]

is it a support gem?

[rapid abyss]

Hold alt on the gem and click on "command: explosive demise"

there is the quality info

and the other stuff

[livid carbon]

does Allies in your Presence apply to myself too?

[rapid abyss]

not for depressive people

jk i do not know

[chilly radish]

is the mental toughness node broken? It doesn't appear to affect my mana costs at all

[gusty bone]

Who is they guy responsible for datamining minion stat scaling on poe2db? Your data is wrong/incomplete. We need the minion stats/level per skill gem rank.

[abstract geode]

is this good ?

[languid tusk]

Its good

[pearl sluice]

Gore spike still buggy - not working on bloodmage?

[static spade]

Does the Ember Fusillade that trigger from the staff and the meta skill get the benefits of the support gems on the active one?

[jaunty finch]

whats the priority order: chain then fork or the opposite?

[azure saffron]

it doesn't matter, crit is just awful in PoE 2. I have 800% crit multi and I do way less damage than when I scale other types of damage increases. It's sad really.

[last patio]

at what point should you invest in a MF build?

like late late end game?

[prisma topaz]

Can anyone reccomend a good shock ranger build?

[ionic cargo]

hexblast cant remove multiple curses

i feel dumb reaching maps with 2 curse on blasphemy

[hexed vessel]

looking at investing into bleed on titan, are there any good uniques that help with bleed?

got body armor that gives me 25% chance to bleed but im looking for something with abit more spice

[pearl sluice]

Is it really that bad ?

But does it even work? I saw multiple posts it doesnt even work

[bold oxide]

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/plasma-burst-deadeye-ds-lily

[tough karma]

Hey. Does anyone know what helps Plasma Blast charge up faster? Haven't found the right spec. I think attack speed doesn't help.

[spring temple]

it has "+2 seconds to Total Attack Time" which, from the description, sounds like it cannot be changed in any way

[tidal parcel]

i need help please :c, if can someone review my gear, and lmk what can i put in my sockets ill be glad

[proper seal]

I am a level 47 monk just started act 1 cruel and i feel im very week, can barely do damage. can someone take a look at my stuff and help me please?

[wind lava]

any cheap annoint for armour, attack speed or totems?

[glad bone]

Atziris acuity

[pale lagoon]

I have a question on herald of thunder. poe2skills says that this cannot shock while there is no mention of this ingame i can see? which one is correct?

[agile meteor]

What gear i should change first?

[chilly radish]

why does lightning conduit have 300 maximum energy with cast on freeze/shock? Shouldn't it be 200 cause its 2s total cast time?

[lapis hatch]

Guys, does anyone know if Eternal Youth works with Consuming Questions?

[pastel forge]

can anyone confirm if the mana gain effect works for all trigger skills?

[fleet blaze]

I am having major issues purchasing 20+ divine items without POB. no way to know just how much of an upgrade something is 😦

[pastel forge]

or is it invocation specific

[pulsar geyser]

any high end ice monk out there? should I go full eva or hybrid with armor?

[marsh saffron]

does 100% increased ignite duration double the overall damage of the ignite? or does it half the DPS,

ie if a regular ignite does 1000 damage over 4 seconds

does 100% make it do 2000 damage over 8 seconds? or 1000 damage over 8 seconds

[sand owl]

2000 dmg over 8 seconds

[marsh saffron]

great cheers

[atomic mirage]

Hey Guys,

Anyone online right now who can Sell me an Uncut Spirit Gem level 8? I would highly appreciate it!!

[spring temple]

more + levels to minion skills on weapon, and with a higher base level Skeletal Warrior Minion skill

+4 levels would probably give way more damage than all the mods on your sceptre combined

[spring temple]

if you check the tooltip ingame, it specifies invocations

[spring temple]

total cast time counts for double the energy cost

[chilly radish]

oh 😦

[spring temple]

i think it explains that if you check the tooltip for energy

(so, kind of hidden)

[snow ridge]

so if I have 100 es and 100 mana, and using Eldritch Battery to convert the ES to mana, does this amulet result in my having 26 es and 200 mana?

[spring temple]

it's not listed on the gem but i believe it's listed in the advanced tooltip for the Bolt in your gem skills

like if you hit G and open the dps window

[chilly radish]

thnx 😄

[spring temple]

yes

[chilly radish]

isn't the gain as maximum after the conversion?

or is it same time

[spring temple]

same time

[chilly radish]

ah

[marsh saffron]

would culling strike work on perfect strike's ignite?

meaning if the ignite ticked something down to 5% it would cull it?

[pale lagoon]

yes thanks, it's in the ailment section of details

[spring temple]

no culling strike usually requires a hit to actually trigger it

[gaunt vapor]

How do you best scale poison damage? should you go for the largest phys bow now, or should you go the widowhail route and scale gem levels?

[spring temple]

only some poison skills scale with gem level instead of your bow

so if you're using poison concoction or vine arrow, you would want gem levels

but for pretty much everything else you want your bow to hit hard more than you want levels

[exotic hare]

having 0 energy shield is bad or does it not matter that much?

[gaunt vapor]

the poison cloud on gas arrow would scale with phys damage also? @spring temple

[spring temple]

does not matter, especially if you're going armor/evasion

[spring temple]

yes it scales with the physical/chaos damage your bow attacks deal

the tooltip is very inaccurate for gas arrow

[gaunt vapor]

interesting

[spring temple]

so you have to be careful

[pale vine]

Yeah, been very curious about the nodes because attack damage affects the poison damage ... so if both affect the math the same, 10% attack damage would give you the same poison dps as 10% magnitude ... but also affect your direct damage

[spring temple]

IIRC there is no "direct damage" in this case, for gas arrow specifically

but yeah it scales with both, but the magnitude stuff doesn't show up super well in the tooltip sometimes

[echo quiver]

dear POE, someone said they are attacking 10 times a second with Icestrike using an accuracy build - what would make this happen?

[spring temple]

those 2 passives on the skill tree

[echo quiver]

hmmm and I guess they just stack and stack and stack accuracy

fml

[spring temple]

there are also these

[echo quiver]

Do we know of a build that does Accuracy + Ice Strike?

[spring temple]

that sounds like the build

you can just stack dex/accuracy and run ice strike and herald of ice and kill everything

[echo quiver]

hmm yah but

i have a feeling this isnt a monk build

[spring temple]

it might be a gemling

and they might use

and stack all 3 stats

or just str/dex

[echo quiver]

interesting...

The person was a gemling actually

level 85

[spring temple]

gemling gets double bonus from stats node, so dex = more accuracy

[echo quiver]

What class is gemling?

[spring temple]

mercenary

[echo quiver]

balllllls

[spring temple]

are you a monk then?

[open ocean]

whats better to take "Far Shot" or "Point Blank" from Deadeye Asendancy

[echo quiver]

ya h i am monk

[spring temple]

you could get something similar working on Invoker, it would just scale a few other mods instead of full-dumping accuracy

you'd be getting spirit and some defensive bonuses instead of fully-committing to the attack speed

probably end up with 60-70% of the attack speed

[pastel forge]

this shit is a scam, it literally only gives me 5% mana regen

😂

I've actually got the Poison Ranger figured out. And surprisingly enough the tooltip is written fine. It's just that some things are confusing and I understand why.

But just to clarify. Your poison damage is based on the damage of the HIT or SKILL used to proc it. You don't have any chaos based skills that cause poison as a Ranger so everything you have is based on the HIT.

The equation is 20% of the damage that HIT deals is what your poison will be. Both your Poison-burst arrow and Gas arrow have a physical DPS that they use for that HIT.

The confusion comes in with the way stats are names on this game. Physical attack and Physical damage nodes will BOTH increase your DPS damage of the HIT. When the Poison tooltip says "Will not be increased further by increased damage dealt to target." It is NOT talking about nodes that % increase your characters physicall attack stat. It is talking about effects that would read something like "Dealk 10% additional damage to enemies."

So.. if you have 100 physical attack.
and your poison magnitude is 20%.
Increasing your Physcial attack by 50% will give your poison more damage than increasing the magnitude by 50%.
IE. Your Poison magnitude isn't worth much at all if you don't already have a good HIT damage first.

My skill tree, and my poison damage is insane. Because my DPS is high and my magnitude is good enough.

when does armor start falling off?

anyone know?

[vital hornet]

Is Hammer of Gods Chronomancer a meme build or it's real?

[spring temple]

armor never falls off, although you still need other defensive layers to avoid oneshots

[feral halo]

is 5.9k armor too low?

This has also been a god send of an early drop. So my poisonburst arrows require essentially 0 mana. And i only have to mana flask vs mana drain enemies.

@proven rapids sorry for tagging you, last question: do you know if Eternal Youth works with Consuming Questions?

[foggy geyser]

for str stacking. what is the end game amount?

is 800 attainable?

You can run pure Attack damage and Physical damage nodes and you'll have higher poison damage than running Poison magnitude only nodes. And one of those options also comes with higher attack damage on your arrows too.

The best I can say is to balance out some magnitude after getting some damage nodes. And then if you want, the chaos nodes to increase your chaos only based skills that don't deal poison damage, like vine arrow and scattershot, later on.

I have re-done my nodes so many times. And that photo I shared was hands down the highest arrow/poison damage and most consistent so far. While being super efficient with not wasting points.

it really depends on what your level is and what level area you're in. there's no real "too high" or "too low", it's up to your preference. if you feel that you're taking too much damage from mob packs, get more armor through the tree or on your gear. the only real baseline rules are: don't run 0 armor nodes on the tree, and focus on the base armor stat of your body armor, since that's where the most armor comes from

Best alternative (non warrior) weapons/skills for leveling warrior pre 40?
