[urban vessel]

and what other skills would fit better

[kindred lark]

whats the best way to work around this ?

[pearl sluice]

Can anyone help me udnerstand what magnitude of shock is? Does it mean shocked units take MORE than 20% of damage, or does it mean my hits have a higher percentage chance to shock?

[brazen hamlet]

Magnitude would imply that they take more than 20%

[frigid bronze]

Lightning damage has a very high variance, let's say 6-250 damage, it rolls twice due to lucky and keeps the higher number

[coral finch]

with life/mana flasks what stats do you guys go for? i've been doing total amount (900-1400 difference total healing) with either charges on enemy killed or just total charges, i'm debating healing rate now to refill more quickly since i started mapping

[brazen hamlet]

I just got an insane drop for flasks lol

[coral finch]

45% more flask refill will be needed if you have no defence on your body lol

[urban vessel]

will the crit chance be rolled twice as well?

Say it doesnt crit, then it rolls again to see if it'd crit

[vestal scroll]

no, just the damage value

[brazen hamlet]

It's so good though since I have the node where I regain 2% of life per kill and all. Need to enhance the Armor quality all over again rip

[coral finch]

i happily got through story with +3 life per enemy hit, im mele so it worked really well, in mapping things slap i had to put cannibalism on one of my skills (4% life recovered for every enemy killed) now that's a heavy sustain for me

[brazen hamlet]

Going back and finding out that attack nodes make poison magnitude nodes look weak has been a blast for me. lol
That gas arrow is dumb damage for mass mobs lol

[coral finch]

i delete everything on monk but survival is the issue now, i'm looking into fixes

[last patio]

are there any uniques that combo well with hybrid es/er life recoup build?

[brazen hamlet]

Best stat i got so far for that is 100% increase mana regeneration. It's a beautiful thing to forget the mana flask exists. Just spam and survive.

[coral finch]

i started having mana issues taking my skills to lvl 15 so i just upgraded some of my gear for tons of flat mana increases

(and chaos resist)

[brazen hamlet]

I got super lucky i suppose. One early game drop changed everything for me. I don't even use normal attack, PB arrow has replaced that. And spamming stuff doesn't delete my mana bar period. Mana regen needs a nerf fr.

[bright urchin]

does anyone know if breakage works without a shield?

[brazen hamlet]

Absolutely slept on Poison Ranger nodes that go so hard

[foggy geyser]

yes

[urban vessel]

hmmmm ill think abt getting it ig, if its a cheap one

[daring nova]

Anyone running some unique builds right now? Looking for something off the wall to try after my crossbow invoker.

[last patio]

when doing evasion / ES hybrid defense, what gear do you want to be energy shield, and which evasion rating? or both?

[woeful jay]

guys ive been wondering what weapon to equip on my 2 slot (im doing a minion witch build) i heard that switching weapons unsummons your minions so im confused if i should equip something or if i should skip it entirely

[delicate fern]

Grabbed "buffs expire faster" from the ultimatum choices and noticed that the minion revive time counts as a buff and cuts the timer substantially. I wonder if we have other sources of "buffs expire faster" we can use?

this may also be unintended and patched but yeah, could be a cool tech for a sacrifice build to revive our minions faster

[hazy plank]

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

[last patio]

my dumbass just sold a divine for orbs of alchemy instead of exalts

[vestal idol]

does anyone have a prroven good gas grenade gemlin build link with a good planner

[still rock]

Does breaking armor via a totem give you scavenged plating stacks too

[cosmic copper]

Hi all... Need a suggestion: I've planned a build for Titan and one for Gemling: with the same skill tree/gear, Titan will have around 40% more dmg, Gemling 90% more life. What you think is more worth, dmg or life?

[sacred warren]

what's the most amount of power charges you can have? 3 + 2 from passives + 1 from boots, anywhere else?

[toxic lava]

I prefer damage

But with 1 life. Maybe not

I’d still go more dmg>life. Offence is the best defence kek

[spring temple]

there are enough passives for +4 power charges

[cosmic copper]

I'm speaking about 3k life vs almost 6k.

[glad mist]

Crafted this last night

[sacred warren]

where are the other 2 power charges in the passive tree?

I only know of these 2

[tawny imp]

anybody know of any skill/passive/item that makes minion attacks count as your attacks?

[atomic halo]

no

[glad mist]

I bricked a pair of boots with 30 movement speed, max life and 30 to rarity,,, rolled very low rez,,,, kinda sad

[spring temple]

there's a node with +2 charges and 2 nodes with +1 charges

all in the monk area

[thick thunder]

chain support on arc should be a 30% more multi in single target right?

[dire sigil]

Any Flicker Strike players?
My skills that interact with PC acting weird.

1. Flicker Skill: consume all 6 charges sometimes after hitting enemy once and do not continue flicking. Causing me most maps to be failed.
2. Charged Staff skill: can consume like 6 Power Charges, but on tooltip I have only 2 charges and small time. This one happens less often

Wtf is that.

[sacred warren]

i just checked the whole tree for "power charge" and those 2 nodes (the 2x single +1) were the only thing highlighted?

[sacred warren]

ohh, idnd't see that one highlighting, thx

[olive siren]

how do you theorycraft builds well? im getting pretty overwhelmed trying to, but im also the type who doesnt like copy pasting builds from google :3

[dawn spire]

You can get 4 from the passive tree

[atomic halo]

start with a concept and develop it from there

like a passive interaction, skills interaction, unique interaction

[gleaming rampart]

more and less are multipliers, so this multiplies lightning damage by 1.15x?

[atomic halo]

specifically the maximum roll

[thick thunder]

so closer to like 7.5

unless you have the lightning lucky node

[atomic halo]

most damage has a range, with lightning it has a very variable range, like dealing 5-100 lightning damage. wild storm would increase the maximum range but not the minimum, i.e. 5-115 lightning damage.

[nova echo]

Does Adament recovery make it so ancient aegis gives 120% increased ES from body armour? no right

[gleaming rampart]

but if 200, it would be 230?

[atomic halo]

double no

[atomic halo]

10 - 200 damage -> 10 - 230 damage, yeah

[gleaming rampart]

alright, thank you

[dire sigil]

Someone help please, I can't figure out on my own for last 3 days. This skill is unplayable at all for me. And I leveled second char just to play it.

1. It's can't be stuns.
2. It's can't be power charge steal chance.

[atomic halo]

double no because adamant recovery is only energy shield recharge rate, not energy shield. and "armour from equipped body armour" doesn't count.

[nova echo]

oh right mb didn't see recharge rate

[atomic halo]

i havent played it, but this looked promising: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iK13VAdz0so&t=125s

ten frenzy flicker has been playing poe1 flicker for years

[dire sigil]

The thing is its just do not work at all

My PC getting dissapeared sometimes after 1 single hit

and it happens constantly. Sometimes it works as intended, sometimes not.

[spring temple]

are you hitting a single mob with no other mobs nearby?

[dire sigil]

No, a lot of mobs

[spring temple]

there's a range for it to flicker chain

[gleaming rampart]

what the HELL am i looking at

[atomic halo]

1% of flicker's potential

[spring temple]

i have never seen it fail to repeat if the mobs are close enough

[dire sigil]

I hit mob, any amount of mobs nearby, have 6 charges, single hit = 0 charges.

[spring temple]

and i have never used charged staff and not gotten all my charges + 1 in stacks

[gleaming rampart]

this has to be illegal in several countries

[spring temple]

i have a level 8X flicker striker and neither of those has ever happened

[dire sigil]

I'm going insane over that.
Maybe it's some post-patch bug and I need to recut the gems

[spring temple]

sounds like either a client bug or some item/skill interaction is messing it up

[dire sigil]

It's haeppend to me before with skills and not only me.

[spring temple]

OH

desync?

[dire sigil]

When they for some reason stops working/interact with other skills. 🤔

[spring temple]

how's your ping/lag

[dire sigil]

No lags, no ping.

There were some posts after patch when peoples Cast On stopped working with some skills untill Cast On was recutted, as example.
Happend to me too once.

#2┃after-acts-help message

[spring temple]

recut like grab a new gem and socket/quality it?

or like socket/unsocket

[dire sigil]

Ye, like make a new gem.

Tho the post I linked probably was a different reason, like no gem insterted. LEL
But there were before that from another guy after patch that had similar problem to mine. Gona try to find.

[fair surge]

Wut

lol just found this

I’m scared to add exalts at this point

[atomic halo]

dont be

i dont think there's anything you can do besides that

[dire sigil]

#2┃early-access message
found it, maybe Its just the same/similar bug.

[zealous kiln]

Go for it its already very good.

[quartz sonnet]

Not sure if this is the right place to ask but my testing has been inconclusive (I'm not getting the result I want).

When Fireball (Skill) procs Firebolts, are they modified by skill gems placed in my Ashen Staff which grants the Firebolt skill?

I've been kind of running with this as an assumption that it works since like level 30 but just now got around to testing it

[celest hatch]

how do you use / set weapon set 2 ?

[gusty bone]

If I equip two of these, I wont ignite enemies ever?

[quasi pumice]

What stats should I invest into as a monk?
should i only invest in dex? my staffs seem to depend on that alot

[thick thunder]

you still ignite

[brave canopy]

Is there anything in poe2 that gives flat phys per # of strength?

[thick thunder]

i just dont think it does any damage

[spring temple]

pillar of the caged god effectively does

[brave canopy]

Yeah, got that. Was lookin for another source if any.

I'm working on an idea with pillar str stacking titan

[gleaming rampart]

do active minion spells (like the gas arrow) count as your damage or the minions?

[brave canopy]

Hard to work these ideas away from comp and using mobile

[sacred warren]

anybody have a really good flicker strike specific build? i've found a few builds that "INCLUDE" flicker strike, but none that really focus it, mainly just a secondary skill

[fair rose]

how is this a negative effect if it can evade all hits anyways?

[sacred warren]

70% less evasion against non hits i'd assume

[tawny imp]

can firewall crit?

[cursive mist]

the evade all attacks refers to the attack types. normal evasion cant evade AOEs. but if you have this on you are capable of evading AOEs as well. this is very good if you can hit 75% evasion after the negative deduction

also quick question for the monks out there, what're some good support gems for ghost dance on an invoker monk?

[wintry mulch]

What base is this item

Never seen it before

Unless it’s a skin ☠️

[twilit bay]

can a skill that builds up electrocution also shock?

or is it one or the other

[fallow vault]

does anyone know what's the precedence of modifiers on the sorceress' Spark skill? If I cast it in Mana Tempest, it gains Fork and then Chain (I assume that's the order), but what happens when I put a Pierce support gem on it? Is there a point in even using Pierce? Because that would mean after piercing the projectile might not hit another enemy, thus not triggering fork or chain, whereas fork is a guaranteed hit...I need some clarity on this, thank you

[ashen copper]

how come when i take nodes that grant a % of energy shield as stun threshold, i don't see any change to my stun threshold on my character page?

[thick thunder]

spells that dont have the chaining tag dont chain

[thick thunder]

but all projectiles can fork

it goes pierce then fork

[fallow vault]

oh, so even if I cast Spark from Mana Tempest it won't chain, only fork?

there's so much stuff going on the screen it's difficult to tell by just looking

[thick thunder]

shouldnt

[fallow vault]

interesting...so in that case is there even a point in putting Pierce on Spark?

[thick thunder]

spark can pierce

it cant chain

[fallow vault]

ah nvm I assumed when spark forks it will always target an enemy but it's random...might or might not hit, so adding Pierce on Spark is a net benefit in either case

[thick thunder]

yeah

[fallow vault]

ok cool thanks a lot !

[woeful tinsel]

Hi all, I've been working on an ignite/slam titan build and I'm trying to use volcanic fissure as a way to ignite. I've got tons of fire damage buff, fire damage pierce, lowering ailment threshold, increase ignite chance on fissure. It seems like no matter what I can't get it to ignite enemies though. I thought the way ignite worked was all fire damage has a chance to ignite based on damage done but that doesn't seem to be the case here. For reference, I put out 4-6 fissures and then earthquake to pop the fissures over and over, I can see them doing damage but it seems like no ignites.

For reference I didnt play poe1 and am only on act 3 right now

[thick thunder]

you are on the right track

what support gems do you have on EQ and volcanic fissure?

[zenith hornet]

what is the recommended evasion rating for the passive node acobatics to be worth it?

[ornate wind]

is it silly for a nercomancer to have detonate dead and unearth? they both use corpses

but I feel like using both is working well

[woeful tinsel]

Let me check, one min

[opaque sparrow]

"Intelligence support gems capacity"

Does this mean I can only have INT/5 blue support gems?

[sonic peak]

Yes

[opaque sparrow]

Oof

[sonic peak]

Can easily get more in the tree

Not like dex is that important

[woeful tinsel]

Fissure has ignition, added fire damage, fire penetration.

[primal zealot]

Tf is fork

[woeful tinsel]

I rotate between eq, leap slam, and sunder to trigger it

[thick thunder]

makes projectiles split in two

[primal zealot]

Aha

[thick thunder]

what gems do you have on sunder?

[woeful tinsel]

fist of war, overpower, aftershock

[thick thunder]

if you click the little arrow next to the dps of fissure in the gem menu, screen shot that

[fair grail]

can someone give/help me to find a guide for invoker monk pls

[gleaming rampart]

does demonflame count as a debuff / dot?

[dawn spire]

I think holding alt should give you the info you need

[rugged kraken]

Does tough claw swift claw and whatever claw talent points on the skill tree just like give all my monk attacks 25% more damage because the skills say attack on them?

[spare quartz]

Is the trade website always buggy? I search for a evasion % helmet and saw some in the results that also have + evasion. I do a search for % evasion and + evasion, nothing shows up

[tidal copper]

You may be searching wrong
Uh bottom left of the item you can search by item stats maybe that helps you

[tidal copper]

What? What does the text say again?

[spare quartz]

I did search by item stats. Evasion %, and + flat evasion added. Works if in just search for 1 but doesn't show if i add both

Same for evasion % and Life, can't search them together

[dawn spire]

Can you screenshot the node? If it says attack with no qualifiers, I believe that's correct

[rugged kraken]

playing a chronomancer lightning monk build and im about to take the MoM and its really not that far and I could get a huge increase here

[strange wigeon]

hey i have a question about my mage build. Why i can i not put these 3 support gems in Orb of Storms:

1. Magnified Effekt (I Put it in)
2. Lightning exposure (I Put it in)
3. Conduction (Is not possible to add)

Do I have to less Dex or whats the problem?

Thank you!

[quick axle]

how do you keep a breach expanding?
I'll get to the edge and monsters just stop spawning

[willow elm]

Is there a list of modifiers available for each item anywhere yet?

[tidal copper]

PoE DB
Kinda sucks for jewels

[willow elm]

Thank you!

[quasi flint]

Is overwhelming presence good?

I'm torn between it and arctic armor+bludgeon or something

[dawn spire]

What is a chronomancer monk? Chronomancer with quarterstaff skills?

[dawn spire]

This affects all attacks, yes

[rugged kraken]

Yes

all the lightning skills sorc tree chrono accendancy

[rugged kraken]

thanks

[gusty bone]

If a monster has 5 stacks of poison on him, will Dark Effigy spit out 5 projectiles?

[midnight bolt]

does attrition aura benefit totems?

[sleek raptor]

guys can someone help in running my build, i followed a guide, my gear is very similar to the streamer but he is dealing 4x my damage and i dont know how to increase it more

[turbid mauve]

hi, what charm affixed should i be looking for when i get charms? i have managed to get poison one. seem to be most useful in act3.

i am considering to use one more charm since i have this belt dropped that gives me two charms (i guess i can upgrade it to rare). my current Doom Lash belt is not that useful

[dim yoke]

What's the build?

[sleek raptor]

Flicker Storm Monk

[lunar flume]

HUH??? This can't be correct, this is what It got on Cast on Spark after spamming Ball Lightning That's actually just what? And that's with this tree also.

[dim yoke]

Link your staff?

[dim yoke]

Are you missing important nodes from the passive tree? I assume you don't have the 5 link / 6link the build creator has?

[short saffron]

Question about skills like Shield charge: When they calculate the additional flat damage from your shield, is this the base armor rating of your shield? Or after all the bonuses have been calculated?

[gritty summit]

What causes elemental exposure effects? For example none of my cold skills seem to apply cold exposure. Is it some automatic effect and if so then in which cases does it apply?

[lucid wren]

anyone know if the vertex drops from a specific bos or area?

[dim yoke]

Frost bomb does. Or the cold exposure support gem

[sleek raptor]

the streamer quarterstaff

mine is not that weaker

[dim yoke]

Hot damn that physical damage

[gritty summit]

Thank you, I found it. So this means that it never procs unless I use those specific skills on enemies and deal a critical hit on them, right?

[robust wyvern]

I just finished Act 3 norm as a fireball infernalist.
What is a good (affordable) Infernalist build atm? 🙂

[dim yoke]

Correct! Frost bomb is bae. Try it out with... faster effect, or something like that. It's how I applied exposure early on, I play a sorc cold build

[silk shuttle]

I want to swap my build. Currently playing Gemling Legionnaire with grenades. Any builds other than that? Kinda boring gameplay. Planners/videos welcomed

[wet mango]

yes, because claws aren't implemented yet, so they're just generic damage nodes for now

[gritty summit]

I was thinking how to increase my overall DPS with fireball + frost wall. I find myself using frost bomb only for rares/bosses because it's a bit slow for clearing packs. At least now I know it won't work that well in my use-case.

[wet mango]

for cold exposure support, that's how it works. Frost bomb just applies the exposure.

[spare quartz]

There's an affix that replenishes the charm when you make kills i believe, so you don't just get 1 use

[dim yoke]

Frost bomb is more of a support skill, same as hypothermia. You just throw them out against the tough ones. I levelled with frost orbs + Cast on Freeze Comet after the nerf

[turbid mauve]

is it on charm or belt?

[dim yoke]

Frost wall does INSANE spike damage by itself especially if echo's

[wispy light]

Hey if am trying the demon form build and I got the permanent health boost in act 1 and cruel act 1 should I start over am level 55

[gritty summit]

That's a good point actually, but rares/bosses don't pose a huge threat at my current level. I used CoF+Comet before the nerf too, but I wasn't brave enough to suffer through that so I switched to Fireball haha.

[spare quartz]

On the charm

[turbid mauve]

i see, thanks. i will around for that one specifically. is it completely random or comes as magic or rare ?

[spare quartz]

I'm a bit of a noob to the game, but i would guess Magic or rare doesn't matter. Mine was Magic. Can charms even go rare?

Not sure but i was stoked to find a magic find charm that replenishes as i kill the other day

[turbid mauve]

hmm... looks like they can't.

[spare quartz]

It might actually be charges gained per second though, not on kills. But there's definitely a recharge affix

[void pewter]

How the heck do we use the RFORGE BENCH? I've tired multiple items of the same rarity and name, and none work

[rocky pilot]

YO. anyone here a warbringer or calculated armor break?
I REALLY wanna know how strong negative armour break really is

If its really powerful, it could justify doing physical since that would mean physical finally has a real damage multiplier on resistances

[void pewter]

Example: All Magic Rarity

[rocky pilot]

But i also dunno. does monster armour do nothing for most damage like player armour does? Because then negative armour might not mean anything when we hit large attacks anyway

[warm otter]

for monk what's better to go with
15% increased damage with quarterstaves
or
12% increased elemental damage?

[analog gale]

any idea what skills are good for leveling a witch?

im currently level 25 with no ascendancy

[lunar totem]

Is "Damage as Extra [Element] Damage" supposed to be able to inflict ailments? I also don't even see the added damage on skill tooltips

[rich oasis]

Best all arounder spell?

[lunar totem]

Oh actually, the full tooltip does show the Lightning damage. But I don't think I'm shocking anything, I'm assuming I just have such a low chance to inflict the ailment...?

[opaque sparrow]

If I have oaksworn shield as my 2nd set, will I still get the 100 spirit or only when I switch to it

[lunar totem]

I'd just keep using contagion and Unearth personally, that's what got me all the way until I swapped into Blasphemy+Hexblast

[opaque sparrow]

Discord buggin

[spare quartz]

I'm pretty sure its only while switched to it but just a guess. Feel like i would've heard about it if you can get extra stats by having a weapon in the #2 slot

[ebon mulch]

Is Mercenary just absolute dogwater unless using grenades?

I dont understand

I've played around with every skill and the only viable thing to play is around grenades

like holy shit

[distant glade]

The higher the hit the better the chance so yeah prob low chance

[ebon mulch]

complete catshit

[brisk crater]

yo, question about conversion, especially on monk skills. It's described as 2-step process - conversion inherent to skills occurs first and then conversion from all other sources. On poe2wiki it's described as Damage conversion is calculated after combining any sources of additional damage to base damage, but before any damage modifiers (e.g. increased or more damage).. How should I understand it? does sources like flat weapon will be counted as first step, then converted and then all the remaining increases applies? How about other parts of gear like rings in the first step? Trying to figure out which modifiers (especially on weapon) will be better for high conversion skills as it's working kinda different in poe2

[velvet blade]

Do arrow attacks shotgun or no?

[lunar totem]

Okay, based on these numbers I think the "As Extra [Element] Damage" for wands is kind of terrible.
Much better to got %Spell Damage and %[The Element that you use] Damage

[distant glade]

Depends on your build honestly

[sleek raptor]

guys can someone help in running my build, i followed a guide, my gear is very similar to the streamer but he is dealing 4x my damage and i dont know how to increase it more

[distant glade]

I take 5% as extra lightning on my monk and can shock pretty consistently with conduction and hitting fast

[rocky pilot]

Has anyone looked into Life-based mercenary defenses?
Is it pretty much Armor + Evasion? im worried about the difficulty of really getting enough Life for a build like that. and I'm not using Gemling for a double str bonus

[distant glade]

But for hexblast yeah prob

[lunar totem]

I was mostly just considering the removal ailment support for a skill, or allocating the one node that's "15% increased damage for each elemental ailment"
But I think the cost to both the build and finding such a perfect wand, and losing the previously mentioned mods on the wand... it's all too high

[unique sluice]

Is a Chronomancer complicated to play? I wanna play Sorcerer and im not sure whats easier for a beginner

[lunar totem]

Essentially it would never be worth the damage gained even in a perfect situation

[vocal flare]

How does this work? Do I need to spec lightning or cold dmg to benefit from this?

[opaque sparrow]

Lemme get that 🙃

[obsidian grove]

It would be for builds like freeze monk, so you can use lightning skills and 100% convert them to cold

[opaque sparrow]

You spec cold damage

Tbh, I think the only thing that matters is you need to use cold pen

[dusky sentinel]

Do you receive add damage from any lightning nodes you pick up..

[void pewter]

I found the same ring, so glad I now have an idea how to use it. Thanks!

[opaque sparrow]

Not sure i did

Id have to go back and look

No doesn't seem to be the case

[vocal flare]

its like 20-25ex, got it from seer

ive been digging around a couple of endgame build ideas online by myself and since i dont know a whole lot i just wanted to ask if both of these setups were solid or if theres an issue with either of them

What skill/s are best for a poison build at the moment

I was wanting to do a poison concoction build but it sounds like a pain to maintain the flask charges for it

[scenic dawn]

Does anyone know if jewels that can be socketed in the passive tree can have flask regen??

[tidal copper]

Whats your base elemental threshold??

[gusty bone]

Do totems use your increases to damage?

[lunar totem]

I don't believe that they do.
But you can actually check this for yourself using the trade website (https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Standard/ByXVoPaH8)

Here I've selected "Any Jewel" and the stat I'm looking for. This will basically show if any player has a jewel for trade with this stat on it (Which basically shows if the stat can be on it)

Until Craft of Exile or whatever tool has all the mods that can be on each item, using the Trade site is the easiest way to check.

[proven rapids]

what is consuming questions ?

[misty shell]

Can I see your build? 🙂

[scenic dawn]

Thank you

[dense bramble]

so i finally got everlasting gaze for spark archmage, are the max ES nodes on passive tree still as impactful or can i allocate to something else?

ill let it slide

Hi guys.I'm playing Warrior now and thinking of changing class. After the recent patch note ,between witch minion and stormweaver, which class is better at clearing map and boss fighting? Or any other suggestions?

[lunar totem]

It would be really funny if dual-weilding these things with the keystone made the modifiers affect you twice, but I highly doubt it given how its worded

[atomic halo]

you can't make something true double true, it's just true

[gleaming rampart]

might reset my build for now around that weapon tbh

[forest crater]

Should I upgrade the quality on armour breaker skill?

[ornate terrace]

2 Player composition advice? What builds would work together? I think one is going storm weaver sorc. and I may be something MF

[midnight bolt]

They use all your increases EXCEPT weapon specific like increased with two handed weapon

[lapis hatch]

it doesnt recharge my ES anymore, mana leech applied to ES

[atomic halo]

totems inherit all offensive modifiers that affect you

they just dont use your weapon

That might not be true, i just tested attrition and seems like it has no effect on totems whatsoever. Maybe because itll need a totem to be in presence of the boss, im not sure but now it doesnt do anything

[mellow ferry]

i see nobody mentioning lightning builds and have heard the game is impossible if you dont have meta builds

[rocky pilot]

thhey're both easy, but stormweaver gives you damage

[atomic halo]

why did i say "weapons" when i meant "totems"

[atomic halo]

wdym

just go spark

its fine

[mellow ferry]

i liked spark and want a build around it 🤣 is that "good"?

can i do the best maps with it if its "good" otherwise?

[atomic halo]

lol who said the game is impossible if you dont have meta builds

[rocky pilot]

game is not impossible without meta builds, people don't mention lightning builds because everyone is doing them. so now peopel are branching out to new builds

[mellow ferry]

oh so im cookie cutter too 😭

[rocky pilot]

its fine. the game is really new so theres not a ton of variation yet

they're adding new things over time

[mellow ferry]

all i know is PoE isnt even a "game" its "abstractly complicated Tarkov of arpgs" and im out of my depth

[midnight bolt]

Spark archmage is one of the best builds in the game

[snow sierra]

and you can very well craft your own build while you go if you have a routh plan before it

[rocky pilot]

you probably are just watching the wrong youtubers, people just gas it up kinda hard.
PoE2 is pretty beginner friendly too

[mellow ferry]

i dont watch youtube, all i did was open skill tree and go "jesus i hope someone has a build ready for me to copy"

[atomic halo]

i suggest you just play the game

its only been out for two weeks

[midnight bolt]

Realistically you can only run into issues if you chose to play chaos dots or melee warrior skills, everything else works on any halfbaked build @mellow ferry

[atomic halo]

lol if you choose to play melee skills

[midnight bolt]

Sorry, melee warrior skills

Monk busted

[nova plank]

can anyone sharea a deadeye leveling build ? if possible not lightning been playing that since act 1 and im about to finish act 3 (im in the final area)

[azure granite]

How can I increase spirit? I want to make my witch without minions eventually, but for now obviously need them. But I can't find anything to increase spirit

[severe drum]

do giga essences work on jewels?

[alpine pecan]

Does a resistance curse + pen only go down to 0% or can you push enemies to negatives with only pen and curses?

[old oriole]

how do i put support gems on my skills that are inside my meta gems?

[frosty arrow]

boy the warrior start a bit rough, isn't it. Everything takes so long to get going. Why does earthquake need such massive windup

[frosty arrow]

You get like a 100 during campaign. There's an affix on armor, and there are necklaces

Oh, and scepters

[snow sierra]

No

[azure granite]

I have 100 then like 30 more from something

But that's it

It's like 2 minions

[alpine pecan]

alright thanks. so 50+ pen and a curse is probably a waste

[snow sierra]

Pen can be kinda a waste depending on the build yes

[alpine pecan]

but idk what enemies resistances look like

[frosty arrow]

you are probably early in campaign. 100 from your scepter, and 30 from a boss. You'll get 30 more in act 3 I believe. Then it's all gear from then on

[snow sierra]

since pen comes last and can not push past 0

[alpine pecan]

like a boss with yellow res how high is that

[jagged dune]

monk thread is a bit dead, what are people looking at for quarterstaffs? as far as pumping dps?

[azure granite]

Oh so before act 3 I'm already max basically

[snow sierra]

no clue how high res on mobs can go sorry

[azure granite]

So 3 minions is the most?

[jagged dune]

it seems like it's shifting from pure phys to phys/elem with crit dmg and changce maybe

[pearl sluice]

agressively look for amulets armor and scepters with bonus spirit rollls on them

thats they only way to increase it besides a boss in act 1 and 3 along with ascendency points

[azure granite]

I want to go no minions

But I need them now lol

[pearl sluice]

im ngl if u dont like spirit or minions sorceress is alot better off. not that no minion witch cant work but minions being strong is rlly what sets witch and sorceress apart

[rocky pilot]

Anyone here sort of tested armour break? Do you feel a damage increase when mobs armour is broken?
Outside of specifically consuming armour break debuff

[manic lotus]

i'm looking at this wand modifier "gain x% of damage as extra cold damage" i take it that's just added at the end?

[azure granite]

I have both just want the witch to be more based on chaos and whatever

[frosty arrow]

I think you get like 30 more in cruel diff or something. But mostly it's gear. Scepters, armor affix, and there's necklaces with spirit

it's fairly limited, but you can get a solid amount. Gotta be lucky with gear

[azure granite]

Which ascendancy is best for no minions?

[snow sierra]

not true my chronomancer minion build is doing rly well, nobody needs witch for minions

[azure granite]

Seems like blood

But demon form seems cool

[snow sierra]

and infernalist can do very well without them too

so there is no Minion "ascendency" anymore

[pearl sluice]

yeah i didnt say it wont work i just said the thing that rlly seperates the classes is that witch is kind of incentivized to do dps through minions

[azure granite]

I wish I could find videos explaining the different options in every class

[snow sierra]

no it dos absolutly not

[azure granite]

Same with monk I have no clue which to chose

[snow sierra]

GGGs aim was to go away from the "minion" ascendency

[dawn spire]

I'm on mobile and I'm out of the country for work.

But my build is basically:
Orb of storms + chain + persistence
Lightning rod + magnified effect(or concentrated effect for bosses) + martial tempo + lightning infusion

[old oriole]

i need the best support gems for frost wall and frost bomb

[azure granite]

Oh also on monk I'm at the trial now.....how can I passively make charges?

[dawn spire]

Depends on what you mean by passive, but I'd say Lingering illusion (spirit gem)

[dawn spire]

For what? Damage? Defense? Damage Amp? Other utility?

[azure granite]

Can I buy those anywhere?

[old oriole]

utility, maybe damage amp

[dawn spire]

Only from the trade site

[worldly stone]

anyone have a good gemling legionaire build pls drop it into my dms 🙏

[azure granite]

And they prob cost things I don't have lol

I still don't know what to do with any of these gems and runes and shit

[dawn spire]

I like frost wall + fortress + the gem that gives them more life.

Frost bomb works well with fast forward, magnified effect, and that thing that chills enemies if you freeze something

[merry silo]

hi guys does any1 have a good mercenary levelling build?

[dawn spire]

Orb of storms + lightning rod can level anything well, imo

[merry silo]

do u have a build link pls?

[dawn spire]

Orb of storms + chain + persistence
Lightning rod + martial tempo + lightning infusion/magnified effect

That's the build

It can work with no damage on the tree just fine until around act 2

So if you're far from damage it's fine

Just keep your bow up to date and you're good

If you want extra damage, throw in freezing salvo with hourglass+concentrated effect for freezing bosses

[fading sorrel]

does anyone know can i have a staff in the mainhand and axe mace or sowrd in offhand ? with this

[atomic halo]

no

it doesnt mention staves, only axes, maces, and swords

[fading sorrel]

yeah but i can equip a staff into my mainhand by default

[old oriole]

should i put on cast on freeze, comet+ what?

[atomic halo]

it also takes up your offhand

[fading sorrel]

true

can i mix sword with ax or mace?

[atomic halo]

no, you cant dual wield different weapon types

you can offhand a sceptre or a shield if you want

[velvet blade]

Do arrows shotgun?

[fading sorrel]

ok thx

[atomic halo]

in general no

multiple projectiles created by the same source at the same time do not shotgun

[velvet blade]

So death's harp is kinda terrible?

[snow sierra]

Dam that is a problem now what do i do as a chronomancer with my 4 ascendency when i am CI...i guess the strange cast speed note it is

[atomic halo]

there's skills that have mechanics that allow shotgunning (i think)

as most uniques deaths harp isnt good if you dont build around it

[worldly stone]

can anyone send me a good gemling legionaire build 🙏

[dire nova]

Hello exiles, I am planning to try an invoker monk with CI and EB. However, when I see streamers add EB, only half of their ES turned into mana? Currently ALL of ES goes into mana, so I have 0 ES, 1 Life, and lots of mana that does nothing without MoM. Any idea why that is?

[rocky pilot]

Everlasting Gaze unique amulet

[dire nova]

Ahhh - I heard that was a bugged interaction? Is that true or just a myth?

[snow sierra]

You can use Ghostwhithe too if the amulett is to expensive for you or atziris disdain if you dont wanna give up life for es

But the amulett will be better

[old oriole]

is there a support gem that lowers the necessary spirit for using it?

[snow sierra]

We are not sure

it could be a intented consquenz of the changed formular

or not intendet

[dawn spire]

Probably a damage support gem for comet. Tho I didn't know people were still doing cast on freeze comet builds

[azure saffron]

Does the tree node "hits deal 50% increased damage against frozen monsters" apply if you cold snap a frozen monster?

[livid hamlet]

They are pretty strong

[void barn]

Is anyone running a poison build?

[austere locust]

is there any build that uses ele expression as a main or secondary dmg source where it actually deals decent dmg?

[celest cloak]

guys whats the price on this?

[daring bobcat]

If a weapon has 30% gained damage as extra fire damage. Does that fire damage ignite ?

[celest cloak]

all fire damage has a chance to ignite

[rotund goblet]

anyone whose playing gas arrow or just knows. does the poison cloud require poison chance at all? it seems to me that it doesnt but then again the ammount of poison i have on certain enemies is varied sometimes it will keep full stacks up (with one cloud down) and on some enemies it wont but that doesnt make sense to me because the cloud inherently just poisons period is there some hidden less poison duration on enemies that are resistance to chaos or something?

[daring bobcat]

Ok so using the stormweaver acsendency for chance to chock, gained dmg as extra fire dmg on weapon, I could use the 15% increased dmg per elemental ailment inflicted recently and get 45% increased dmg on a cold sorc build

or would it not be worth the points without increased chance to ignite or shock

[gritty walrus]

hello guys
do you think these two work together?

[warm delta]

Hi! How much is this worth and is it good for an infernalist build?

[daring bobcat]

Guessing one chance shard

[bold oxide]

yea its good and its worth at least one divine

[warm delta]

So like 55 exalt? Yeah lmk if you want it 🤷

[daring bobcat]

nah looks like it's worth nothing, other like it on trade site for 1 exalt haven't sold in 9 days

[pearl sluice]

Jesus this sanctim trial for 3d ascencancy points just so shit wtf

Level 3 eats your honor like mad

Im not sure who thought thats fun

[daring bobcat]

Do you have all honour resistance/max honour relics ? It is part rng too

[pearl sluice]

I dont even know what those are i hated sanctum already in poe1

Now this game forces me to play it

:/

[vagrant plinth]

doing a magnetic salvo build, is it better to go for total lightning/elemental damage or for crit?

[pearl sluice]

What i dont get, on level 1 and level2 i barely lost any honour, and on lvl3 third trial was like 4 hits all gone

Seemed so unbalanced

[crimson viper]

Just picked up a really good Queen of the Forest, what ranger build would best utilize it?

gonna reroll

[daring bobcat]

It may have been a bad affliction, heavy hitting monster or something like that. Relics will make it a lot easier

[vagrant plinth]

would you run tailwind from deadeye w that?

[pearl sluice]

Ok ill buy another one tomorow and retry

Honestly im running maps / killing rares with easy

But this honour thing is a messup as i dont understand whats happening

Guess i should have read the notes, but its so long and boring i was just skipping and going fast

[daring bobcat]

Yep, all damage removes honour and reaching 0 ends the run so that's really the focus. Not being hit at all. Choosing the right rewards to replenish honour if needed, sacred water if your full of honour. Making sure you get all the boons you can and avoid afflictions. Some afflictions make runs really hard.

[woven otter]

Yo guys, does %increase attack damage increase the damage of “extra” damage?

For example, if I have 5% of damage as extra fire damage, if I have any %increase fire damage in the tree, the extra fire damage is being affected right? Same with % elemental damage increase - it buffs the fire.

What about %attack damage increase???

[crimson viper]

@vagrant plinth im thinking so, im pretty unknowledgeable when it comes to ranger in poe

got a 900 evasion qotf

[night pebble]

should I use my only lvl 11 skill gem on seismic cry or supercharged slam?

[sleek rampart]

Is quill rain any good in act 1?

[pearl sluice]

Does Wildshards work on Spark, now? Does Wildshards work on Frostbolt?

[pearl sluice]

Thanks

[pearl sluice]

Where did you get this information?

[daring bobcat]

I don't know why it wouldn't work with spark so I'd try it though.

[daring bobcat]

just typed wildshards poe2 in google lol

[queen rose]

is thing useful in any builds?

particularly that part about strength

[woven scroll]

any suggestions on what i should be focusing on upgrading as i progress thru maps?

[daring bobcat]

no much too low level of an item, disenchant it for chance shard

[small slate]

Has any Monk tested if Archmage works on Charged Staff yet? 👀

[dark pulsar]

Pretty sure Archmage is for spells only

Which runes / soul cores for this?

I guess ele pen?

[small slate]

yea that was how the question came up because https://poe2db.tw/us/Charged_Staff has it listed as a spell

[wraith crag]

?? does it work or what??

[dark pulsar]

It's an attack

You can see it ingame

[rapid star]

Alright, I'm doing my janky build just because it's fun lol
It revolves around The Three Dragon Mask: Fire damages shock, cold damage ignites and lightning damage freezes (note chance to ailment from passive tree is not affected by this)
so I'm wandering if I use Tempest Furry, what is the best weapon to get all 3 ailments on a beffy target
Weapon 1: Physical weapon with add Fire and add Ice
Weapon 2: Crackling Quarter Staff with Add Fire and Add Ice
Weapon 3: phys weapon with 3 added elements
the crackling quarterstaff... I only have money for the Advanced ones, not the experts... so they lightning damage is 7-54 or something like that
those are the weapons I'm looking

[bold pulsar]

Any way to check how much poison magnitude I have? I cant seem to locate it

[cloud carbon]

Anybody Here on ps5 that could help me inprove my build thru screen share

Infernal witch. Struggling.
Any help with armor. Passive points guide.

[glad sundial]

Hi guys, any suggestions for runes? Grenades build

[loud bronze]

Does this mean all the "increased maximum energy shield" nodes have no effect because the base energy shield value gets converted to mana before getting increased ?

[small slate]

It's tagged as a Spell in game too

[near jewel]

Do you think poison ballistas build would be viable?

[vague bluff]

is sorc just cooked?

got one to lvl 35ish and my witch felt 2000x better at all stages

[daring bobcat]

Is there a max to freeze build-up or like a point where spell dmg is better than %increase freeze build-up

[merry silo]

hey guys should i use this or should i look for one with max life?

[vague bluff]

Tbh I let my passive points take care of freeze buildup mainly, all my weaps were spell dmg

and cold spell lvls

[daring bobcat]

Same but I have all the freeze build up passives and my new weapons has 67% freeze build-up so I'm wondering if I'm maybe doing too much

[mystic shard]

do dodge rolls have I-frames? and if so, for everything?

[exotic hare]

yo guys, what and where are jewels for the passive tree sockets? im lvl 62 and all my sockets are empty, or do they come in endfgame?

[dark pulsar]

Oh yea spell with attack tag, might actually work then

[vague bluff]

might be tbh, with passives and all that i'd focus more on spell / cold dmg

what lvl are u elie, u struggling vs bosses or not rly?

[half owl]

can i have too much resistance pentration damage or theres no more benifit once the mob resistance go to 0

[vague bluff]

it goes into the negatives

[daring bobcat]

I'm lvl 79, not really stuggling with anything but I still die if I play stupid in a map T11

[vague bluff]

my friend has a build that his chestplate gives an aura of -elec % res and he 1 shots everything on deadeye

[half owl]

thats awesome I'm gonna goo max out penetration as much as I can

[vague bluff]

Huh then maybe my build just sucks ass I feel like in maps its fine but boss fights take forever

but im still early on with the sorc

[undone mortar]

Only against strikes

[mystic shard]

sec

[mystic shard]

oh?

[daring bobcat]

Elemental invocation + Frostbomb + Frostwall + Comet + Cold snap will usually kill most unique monsters. and I need 2-3 combo rotation on bosses

[mystic shard]

whatdo u mean?

[vague bluff]

alright guys where do i find dragonlord placidusax

[queen rose]

is firewall and solar orb not working with raging spirits?? I thought i saw a streamer using that combo but i dont see any skulls

[undone mortar]

So not against AOEs like slams

[mystic shard]

I'm here.

[static thistle]

inspiration can go inside cast on shock with ball lightning?

[mystic shard]

but it'll fully avoid the dmg of everything else?

[vague bluff]

Oh then I just jumped the gun too early on cold maybe, i switched over to full cold very early still dont have comet yet

maybe i wait to see if the build gets better with comet

[undone mortar]

For part of the animation yes

Not the part where you're standing up

[mystic shard]

so thats quite a good part of it

nice

[vague bluff]

unrelated but W mans for being a scaper

[daring bobcat]

For most of the clear I'm just spamming Frostbolt and coldsnap, frostwall is for freezing large ennemies and uniques. Comet is risky with the slow cast time but Elemental invocation drops 3 comets instantly so it's really fun

Takes a lot of dex though

[queen rose]

is firewall and solar orb not working with raging spirits?? I thought i saw a streamer using that combo but i dont see any skulls

[daring bobcat]

🥲 osrs ftw

[vague bluff]

hahaha add moi stu veux jouer soit a rs/poe j'ai une gang qui jouent aussi

[daring bobcat]

Let's go un Quebekwa ! Fait une couple de mois j'ai pas jouer à RS mais p-t un jour quand j'y retourne yea. Tu raid ?

je t'ai add

[potent swift]

Can I actually do anything good with fire sorc with focus on ignite ? I kinda did my own thing and was having fun but it all slowed down so much in act 3...

[vague bluff]

Un peu sur mon main mais j'ai faite un iron y'a quelques mois, j'viens de faire SoTE so jvais pouvoir raid bientot avec aussi

[woven bough]

in this economy do i use perfect jewellers or sell it

[daring bobcat]

ouff, rip iron. J'ai pas la volonté de jouer ça xd.

[daring bobcat]

I would sell but I'm poor

[vague bluff]

hahahah j'me disait la meme chose mais c'est addictif en tbk

[vague bluff]

oof tough questions

[fair surge]

Wut

[vague bluff]

whats it go for nowadays

[daring bobcat]

last I saw was 150+ exals

[vague bluff]

oh thats a sell.

[distant canopy]

does bleed not bypass player energy shield?

[daring bobcat]

no

[woven bough]

190

oh

[distant canopy]

it should say that in the tooltip it just blanket states that bleed bypasses energy shield

[vague bluff]

I'd value 190 exals over a socket but im a professional rebuilder so i need the currency to minmax.

[woven bough]

sold

i need divs heavy

[daring bobcat]

gz

[fair surge]

WTH how do you open up the distilled tab? I tabbed out of it

Left my amulet in there

And i don’t have any other distilled to open the tab back up?

[tranquil steeple]

Ive just been ramming my head at stuff til it works and ignoring gear but Im stuck at doryani now does anyone have advice to get gear improvements? Like Im level 47 with level 30 gear and 600 life.

[woven bough]

tough

[fair surge]

There’s no key to press to open it back up? 😆

[half owl]

is there an item other than bow and quiver or passive skill other than deadeye I can usee to add projectile without damage penalty

[old oriole]

CAN i make cold snap chains?

[rocky pilot]

Does anyone know some good Lightning damage boosting levelling uniques?
or Physical damage boosting levelling uniques?

[rocky pilot]

i play poison, sorry just saw this

[rare ember]

Question about monks.. which base is bis? Pure evasion? Or evasion with energy shield?

[rocky pilot]

Evasion + Energy shield is a lot better for invoker, its optional Evasion vs EV/ES for chayula

[untold sand]

Im not familiar to poe , i think i won the game with that armor 🤣

[nova bane]

i'm playing this game with my friend who plays infernalist and im playing crossbow grenades, does he ruin my build by exploding my gas grenades with his flame walls or is it synergistic?

[queen rose]

is firewall and solar orb not working with raging spirits?? I thought i saw a streamer using that combo but i dont see any skulls

[hollow urchin]

Is mercenary explosion build good?

[stuck coyote]

What builds do sorcs play at higher tier maps? I am currently playing an Elemental Storm build but it feels so slow to clear with, and with the chain freeze nerf bosses feel kinda bad too

[rocky pilot]

its a pretty good armor for early-midgame, congrats
later on find one with Life and high stats/res for an upgrade

[rocky pilot]

Yes it is, but its hard to find a weapon with + additional projectiles and high DPS like the youtubers. so you may have to use ScatterShot

[untold sand]

Im using my accessories for res and yea if only i had some life on it would be perfect

[indigo valley]

Guys, I made a build, I've no idea how to improve it further... Any ideas ? (Except for gear, need to find/craft better one)
https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/r473r01d

[gusty elk]

So what's the radius of the explosion tho?

[rare ember]

Thanks for the quick response.. Would you mind explaining.. why several guides go with pure energy shield on helms and not ev+es?

I mean why helm specifically 😂

[rocky pilot]

you go pure Energy Shield on helmet because mosts people grab Subterfuge Mask +2 to Evasion rating per 1 Maximum Energy Shield on Equipped Helmet

energy shield helmets can go to like 500 ES sometimes. meaning thats 1000 Evasion.
A very expensive Evasion/ES helmet would likely have 400 evasion and 150 or 200 energy shield. gets close but its much much harder to hit. so may as well go full energy shield

[rocky pilot]

you should just try it. no real info, but maybe try poe2 db

[rare ember]

Ah.. makes sense now.. you a g dude.. thanks for the info

[last patio]

what's the duratiobn?

[atomic halo]

of what, a frenzy charge?

[last patio]

of the 40% skill speed buff

it just says "when consuming"

[atomic halo]

i dont think it's a duration, it's just for that specific use of the skill

[undone mortar]

It just consumes the frenzy charges to go off faster yeah

[last patio]

so this is terrible with ice strike isn't it :/

[undone mortar]

Kinda yeah

[last patio]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

[atomic halo]

if the use of the skill is one that consumes at least one frenzy charge, that use of the skill will go off 40% faster

[last patio]

so lame. ok ty

I thought I was gonna get a persistent 40% skill speed buff on ice strike lmao

that ruins everything

[undone mortar]

Yeah no

[last patio]

sigh ok ty

[rapid hemlock]

Hey guys, my rattling Sceptre with Skeletal Warriors isnt spawning said minions. Is this a bug, or something with the new update? (I have my arsonists spawning as intended)

[gusty elk]

poe 2 db has some numbers but it doesnt say meters or whatever lol so i am not sure. also 20m seems a bit high

[rocky pilot]

just something you should try really

[void barn]

What skills are you using. I wanted to make a concoction build but they sound rough to maintain charges

[wraith crag]

Does this chance improve spell chance?

I saw it in a bulid for bloodmage and i was wondering

[rocky pilot]

I was gas arrow until concoction buff, concoction does almost double gas arrows damage so i'm pure poison conc now with plague bearer aura

[undone mortar]

That's generic so yes

[wraith crag]

alr thanks

[rocky pilot]

@void barn i would not worry about maintaining charges, extremely easy. you use a flask with 0.25 charges per second grab a 0.1 charges per second to mana flask node on the tree ( i anoint mine) and you're generating charges all the time.

You can improve it with a belt. a reduced flask charges used belt + Warding Potions means you only use 2 flask charges per throw. which is just insanely easy to sustain

or you go for lots of increased flask charges gained, which ranger has an easy 30% right at the start of her tree, combined with 20% (or 15?) on a belt for a 50% or 45% boost.

And finally can just spend points on which just guarantees you're not running out.

Personally i don't recommend it until 6 ascendancy points though. level Gas arrow first, Gas Arrow and Toxic Growth are incredible. Vine arrow lets you spread poison with scattershot in it.

Poison tree is kind of always the same. kind of all the poison nodes. Chaos nodes if you go concoction

im Acrobatics so i grab a bunch of evasion

and poison jewels are super cheap so i have tons of free magnitude

i personally like Gas arrow more than concoction as its fire-and-forget but concotion damage is madness insane.

Ironically you don't even need to use gems on concoction and can still use gas arrow and just use concoction on bosses. it is that strong

i might switch to that eventually

[rich oasis]

Best all arounder spell skill?

[keen flint]

guys is the skeletal reaver minion build is better now ? or the one that throws fire nade
for witch

[wet mango]

they all do yes

all damage mods apply after conversion

[scenic kestrel]

Question about the "Feathered Feltching" node. Would adding projectile speed to a skill using a gem like acceleration increase the damage of the projectile and the effect chained effects?

[wet mango]

and "gain as extra" is a conversion step

[last patio]

How much ES do you want for ES ER hybrid monk with a ton of life recoup?

[wet mango]

yes

[scenic kestrel]

That's cracked. Ty

[last patio]

I'm using ghost dance to buy time for life recoup to function the same as mitigation

[rocky pilot]

sorry, i clicked your build but i don't know anything about minions. but few tips i guess?

1. Your build has max 123 points, this is super unrealistic that you'll hit level 100. I would aim for a build at level 80

2. I don't undersstand why you have crit chance and etc when its a minion build, is this Detonate Dead or something?

3. If you are actually a crit spell build... drop the minion nodes. and crit is pretty hard to support, this may not e enough crit chance?

4. Curse nodes are a waste of points

5. Rip to The Bone is pretty good on a phys spell build, which it seems like you might be?

[queen rose]

is firewall and solar orb not working with raging spirits?? I thought i saw a streamer using that combo but i dont see any skulls

[last patio]

how much energy shield do you aim to have on monk?

like lvl 75+

[heady palm]

How do i upgrade my attack to 5 support gems? currently have 4.

[atomic halo]

perfect jewellers orb or lucky vaal outcome

[indigo valley]

1. Well I am lvl 84 and only missing the phys nodes at the top and some of the crit nodes, but it does work

2. Because Detonade Dead can crit

3. I can't drop the minion nodes as I need them for life (all of minion nodes have life) on the Brutes. They currently have 35000 life(it can go way higher) and it does damage based on their life. Just by Detonating my Brutes I deal half the damage on a boss, if I am lucky with a crit maybe more. Other than that with just the brutes I clear all rares with 1 hit 😅

4. I disagree. It gives me a huge aura on Blasphemy 6m which is great when stuff gets close and you are almost always close to enemies

5. If you mean Cut to the Bone, I tried it, but it's not that great with what I have currently, maybe later once I upgrade gems I think

The only thing I am struggling is when I get frozen, and getting frozen last wayyy to long. Maybe reduced freeze duration on you on boots may be good.

[gusty elk]

Why does the fkn trade site keep logging me out

[neat bison]

Reavers are decent but melee minion AI is so shitty

[tidal copper]

Is +30 ailment threshold good??

[keen flint]

thanks 🫡

[keen flint]

can you help me on something ?

i used this build for leveling
https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/minion-army-infernalist-leveling-guide

i'm not at lvl 56 act 2 the new diffeculty and thinking of changing my passive to this build

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

[half owl]

what are my options to not get 1 shot by t2 rares, health, energy shield or resistance?

[tidal copper]

What are you playing poison?

[neat bison]

It will be good, too much fire synergy for minions right now so they’re the best by default

[half owl]

full lightning

[midnight bolt]

roll dodge and positioning, that alone can carry you to t10+ as long as your dps is decent

[keen flint]

I mean should i change my passive now to focus ?

[tidal copper]

As path finder?
Well your health looks low If you have a few exalt you could buy some health on armour

[half owl]

1 mistake is deadly, is there anything I can add to afford mistakes

[neat bison]

If you have the proper gear/gems then sure

[half owl]

how much health would be a goal for my case

[midnight bolt]

2k

at least

[half owl]

copy

[tidal copper]

Goal? Aim for the moon and youll land in the stars

so 5 k!

[midnight bolt]

people farm t16s with 2k no issues, but they have giga damage and acrobatics+evasion cap

[midnight bolt]

lol u cant reach 5k without a shield

[tidal copper]

As pathfinder you could invest in armour and health infinite life flask could be pretty good defense

[cold pond]

Any current op minion witch builds?

[keen flint]

can you tell me where can i get these gems from ?

[verbal totem]

Anyone know offhand precisely how culling+herald of ash works?

[nova echo]

if I can run one shock skelly to apply like 3% shock on bosses

is it worth it at all

what does 3% shock give me

[verbal totem]

Like if a hit triggers cull I assume that it deals the full damage for herald of ashes overkill effect

[verbal totem]

As far as I'm aware shock is always 20% more damage

[junior smelt]

does anyone know why i cant see the critical strike chance increase in my spell gem tab? I have a few critical hit chance increase skills and modifiers

but haxblast is not showing me anything about crits

[nova echo]

wtf that sounds insane? I thought shock scales with amount of shock

[verbal totem]

Nope it has a variable chance but the effect is static outside of specific support or item modifiers

[calm orchid]

There is not one wand with +4 to lightning under 3 div what is this community

Like all of the other rolls are shit they are selling 1 stat for 3 div

[verbal totem]

Hyperinflated

[calm orchid]

I can’t

[snow sierra]

Or try to craft one

that is what i am doing for my +5 rattling scepter

[verbal totem]

God even a +4 rattling scepter would be nice

[snow sierra]

Like the marked is so bad now that you might as well play ssf lol

[verbal totem]

But yeah just slam magic on anything that drops

[snow sierra]

je and keep bases

for 3 for 1

[nova echo]

playing ssf and I got a 40% spirit and +4 minion malice sceptre from a vendor right at the end of cruel

feels luckyman

[verbal totem]

RAEG

[snow sierra]

selfcraftet^^

[hallow sky]

guys I am playing bomber build for my mercenary - what which hunter ascendancy path is the best for me?

[verbal totem]

IDK if it's good but I swapped corpse explosion for culling and decimating with herald of ash and the unique helm that doubles cull threshold and it's amazing tbh

[toxic whale]

i have a question about some dps on my build, i was wondering if anyone could hope in a vc with me and explain to me whats going on?

[verbal totem]

Currently using explosive shot with scatter shot + fire infusion + reload on stun as my basic attack and oil+gas for bossing and rares

Buy a physical spec crossbow around your level and go to town

[half owl]

I dont get the point of acrobatic, do you mind explaining, whats the point of losing evasion rating if you can evade all hits anyway

[verbal totem]

Double cull threshold with herald of ash feels pretty great too, not 100% sure but I think the trigger order makes the ash procs very chunky

[still sluice]

damn i bet you could get like 5 exalts for that

maybe

[midnight bolt]

you cant dodge most of aoe attacks, they will always hit you without this keystone, if enemy does big circle,or slam u cant dodge it normally with passive evasion

[crisp arrow]

Does Archmage work with Stormwave

[snow sierra]

at best i can be happy if ppl give me 1ex for it to sell it for 10divs then 😛

[queen rose]

Guys what on earth triggers Raging Spirits? I don't understand, no fire spells seems to work with it (im not out of spirit, tried 3 different fire spells now including projectile ones)

[midnight bolt]

the point is that if u see big red circle u need to avoid it, not mindlessly run maps, the strength of evade classes that with acrobatics they still can do that

[half owl]

without acrobatic I can dodge slams?

[midnight bolt]

nope

[half owl]

with acrobatic I can?

[midnight bolt]

yes

[half owl]

what will I lose with that 70% evasion rating?

[snow sierra]

lul

[still sluice]

i mean sure, 50% spirit and +4 pretty good but like most of the other subs arent particularly great. maybe for a lightning infernalist build?

[midnight bolt]

u just need to stack it a lot and also reserve spirit with that evade aura i forgot how its called but u can still cap evasion even with acro

[indigo valley]

https://tenor.com/view/eww-meme-eww-gif-eww-brother-eww-eww-brother-gif-4303100356772739930

[still sluice]

you probably dont have enough spirit

the gem its self takes up 60 reserved spirit

[snow sierra]

ye it isnt the best but spirit and +4 is kinda hard to get

[indigo valley]

Perfection

[snow sierra]

^^

[half owl]

I don't get it sorry, if acrobatics makes me dodge all hits, then I would not need evasion rating right? or am I misunderstanding what evasion rating mean

[midnight bolt]

it makes evasion apply to all hits, not dodge all hits

[upbeat totem]

Man I would I really like the weapon-swap-on-ability-use thing on the concoction skills

[midnight bolt]

u still need evasion

[half owl]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh thank youu so much, I get it now

[still sluice]

looking at the trade site. https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Standard/K7XWmzLf5 its worth 3 divines

pretty good

who ever is selling that one for 1 exalted though

jesus i gotta steal that

[snow sierra]

price fixer

[still sluice]

price fixer?

[snow sierra]

Like a guy that puts a item in low so noobs see the price and put up a similar item this cheap

Happens with allmost any popular item atm

[still sluice]

oh wow, thats kind of devious lol

[snow sierra]

And they guys doing this just spamm refresh on the trade side in the hope to get those misspriced items

that why if you buy a unique the low price guys just never react

[storm wagon]

im sorry but could anyone help me out? im following a build but when it comes to the 5 attribute nodes i dont know which to pick, and the overlay thing doesent update that node name and it just says it gives 5 attributes

and idk if im missing something and i can check it somehow

[snow sierra]

you allways pick str as long you stack life

so while leveling for sure

the other attributs only for requierments

so if your gear/skill needs int or dex you gotta pick that sometimes

[storm wagon]

well yea i see i need 35 dex and 25 int but i thought i might need them in order of getting new skills

[frosty arrow]

Since attributes don't increase damage directly you pick them for utility or just requirements

[tawny imp]

i need an pro to give me the rundown on what the best way to scale my fire pen/fire exposure is. skills, supports, passives, gear, anything you can think of! please and thanks

[snow sierra]

yes at the beginning you need that stats mostly for attribut requiements if you are fine you just pick str for hp

[frosty arrow]

Also, nice tip. You can refund individual attribute nodes and change them, without refunding half your passive tree

You can change them any time

So don't worry that much

[snow sierra]

ye

[frosty arrow]

not a bad mace for start of cruel

just for that damage alone

[storm wagon]

cause this is my issue but i guess if i can reset it

then i will just pick what i think

[open ocean]

pretty sure its 30 not 60

[snow sierra]

I am at t16 maps and have still no idea how to see if i got a good weapon i sure i trashed so many

[still sluice]

maybe i got it confused with something else

[frosty arrow]

yes, if you go to hooded figure you can refund those individual nodes, and change them

so you can correct it as you go

[snow sierra]

i think that might be kinda ok for armor stacker builds ?

[tawny imp]

anybody know the essential skills, support skills and passives to scaling my fire exposure/fire pen?

[verbal totem]

Basically don't scale pen, get a fire exposure source and slap the support with more exposure effect on it I think

[weary umbra]

Any monk able to explain what elemental damage to attacks do for us? Is it a top tier stat for invokers ?

[verbal totem]

Pen is barely useful outside of specific rare/bosses with high resistance to your element

Since it can't go nevative

[orchid hatch]

I don't know where else to ask, so here goes. Are my resists bugged? I feel like this should not be right.

[verbal totem]

Looks right to me you get -10% per act

[weary umbra]

Welcome to cruel

[verbal totem]

Plus some bosses give +10%

[weary umbra]

Upgrading gear consistently is the key

You can't buy gear at LVL 25 and hope to make it thru to 60 here 🤔

[orchid hatch]

That seems all kinds of asinine to me, but thanks for the answer.

[verbal totem]

'Praying to RNGesus'

FTFY

[orchid hatch]

Not the part about upgrading gear, but NEGATIVE resists.

[weary umbra]

You can always trade

[verbal totem]

I mean yeah you can but honestly I never particularly enjoyed it unless strictly necessary (i.e. I hit a wall)

[faint sundial]

for three helm dragon, it says hits from lighting damage now do freeze build up instead of shock chance. So is it pointless to add shock chance and magnitude ?

[weary umbra]

Not one gear on my character, I found by myself

I sold stuff I found, bought stuff I needed

[verbal totem]

Or for specific uniques

Need to farm EX to buy 20 more culling helms so I can gamble for a perfect vaal

[weary umbra]

I found a perfect jewellers orb and flipped my life around lol

200+ ex

[verbal totem]

Honestly I would have used it without a second thought lol

[weary umbra]

I was going to

[snow sierra]

I would have sold it too^^

[verbal totem]

Gonna make this explosive shot build work come hell or high water

[faint sundial]

for three dragon helm, it says hits from lighting damage now do freeze build up instead of shock chance. So is it pointless to add shock chance and magnitude ?

[weary umbra]

Then just decided to check the rate

[snow sierra]

i am gonna gamble vaal for my 6 links 😄

[bitter plover]

does two handed passives increase grenade damage ?

[verbal totem]

Not sure but I'd assume it'd still work fine unless it specified shock chance from lightning damage or something

[verbal totem]

As long as it doesn't say melee, yes

[bitter plover]

o cool didnt know that thanks

[verbal totem]

Crossbow scales grenade damage and is considered 2h

[snow sierra]

Ive never seen better then lesser so far they are so rare...<,<

[verbal totem]

Found a greater on my witch and promptly slapped it on my arsonosts

[void barn]

Most arpgs give you minuses to resit as the campaign goes on

[verbal totem]

Shame about minion AI and pathing being garbage

[tawny imp]

anybody know if fire penetration support skill is compatible with oil grenades?

[verbal totem]

Should be but won't do much

Oil grenade base damage is pretty crap, but they're just a debuff/scaler

And fire pen on them won't scale other abilities

[tawny imp]

gotcha, makes sense

[verbal totem]

There's a tier 3 that increases the effect of exposure by 30% that's great on them tho

[robust radish]

if i get a +levels to gems quiver can it raise the level of my gas arrow enough that i dont have enough dex to equip it any more?

or does the + level to gems happen AFTER the equipment requirement of the gem

[verbal totem]

Doesnt affect requirements I think but will spike mana cost through the roof

[robust radish]

yeah :/ big dam tho

[verbal totem]

Give it a shot and snag some mana recovery

[pearl sluice]

Sorry for noob question - can anyone explain to me what "increased Magnitude of Shock" does? Does this mean shocks make target's take more than 20% increased damage, or is it easier to build up shock on a target?

[tawny imp]

im a little confused on oil grenades verbiage. it says oil decreases fire resistance by 20% and also says ground oil decreases fire resistance by 20%. Do these stack or it's just 20% regardless?

[noble agate]

Can I show a screenshot of my build? idk what to go with my passive tree

[open ocean]

you can exceed the 20%, build up is just chance to shock

[pearl sluice]

Ok thanks very much! hard to figure out the impact of that on dps - appreciate it!

[uncut bay]

what build?

[robust radish]

do you know how it works with increased effect of quiver from tree? i have +80% increased effect of quiver bonuses but if i get a +1 to projectile skills is it like 1.8 gem levels instead

round up to 2?

or stay at 1

[verbal totem]

That I actually do not know offhand I've only really played Merc and witch so far

[robust radish]

yeah this is the node im curious about

[west matrix]

Are there any class specific channels here? I'm trying to find somewhere to chat about witch minion builds.

[robust radish]

trade me a projectile skill quiver and ill test :D

[verbal totem]

I feel like I've seen people complaining about that being busted so probably works lol

[tired citrus]

% increased life regeneration rate work exactly ? the base regen is 0 right ? so what exactly does it multiply ?

does it scale with like your life regen from items ?

[verbal totem]

Any Regen you got from gear

[tired citrus]

or is it based on some kinda base

ok so lets say i got 20% increased rate, all my regen i got from items is gonna be +20% ?

[raven ridge]

is fireball better on blood mage or stormweaver?

[tired citrus]

aka if i had 100 hp per second regen with a +20% node would it be 120

[noble agate]

I’m a lvl 67 witchunter but I want to switch to lightning attack as my main

[open ocean]

i doubt it will work as long as it doesnt give you a full level, like if it just gives +1 level on skills it wont but i will probably on +5 level on skills

[snow ridge]

quick question: I have the stormweaver node Force of Will (1% increased arcane surge effect per 15 mana) and for some reason equipping the gloves on the left reduces my cast speed. Does anyone know why?

[noble agate]

Idk where to go from here lvl 67 on maps first time playing game like this

[open ocean]

and no it doesnt round up only down

[hallow ibex]

I have a question i'm playing demonform but everytime i transform to demon the spirits goes down to 46 even if i increased the spirits anyone have an idea

[snow ridge]

do you have spirit on your weapon

[hallow ibex]

yeah

[snow ridge]

demonform removes all bonuses from your weapons

[hallow ibex]

so i get spirits from my armours?

[snow ridge]

if youre demon form, then yeah that and the permanent bonuses are the only options. Also theres a node for infernalist that reserves life to grant spirit

[dawn spire]

If you hold alt over a quiver, any mod that cannot get increased effect will say, "Non-scalable value"

[snow ridge]

personally I wish they just removed the +6 levels and +25% attack speed from demonform and nerfed the spell damage increase and let use use stats from weapons in it

[normal pumice]

Sry for the long post. Can anyone help me understand ignite scaling on the below?

1. ignite 90% of fire hit damage for 4 seconds when ignite threshold is reached
2. nodes and item mods that increase hit damage, e.g. +% attack damage, +% spell damage, +% projectile damage etc, indirectly increase ignite chance and magnitude due to higher hit dmg. Same for crits
3. Tree nodes affecting elemental dmg, fire dmg affect the hit damage but not directly the ignite damage
4. ignite magnitude, duration, speed increase the burn damage directly.

Anything wrong or to add to this?

[robust radish]

i dont have a + proj gems quiver to test sadly :/

[hallow ibex]

ok so the demon form will remove my weapon spirit bonus only? and if i get a spirit from like an amulet that won't be a case?

[snow ridge]

yes

[snow ridge]

demon form removes ANY benefit from equipped weapons, such as increased damage, mana, spirit, etc

[zenith nacelle]

my bad

wait nowhere at all i can just hand someone loot? tf

[open ocean]

just dm someone random ?

[snow ridge]

okay so fun fact. Apparently ascendencie nodes like Force of Will only apply to gear that you can equip with BOTH weapon skillsets

[thin basin]

go to global 1 someone will happily take it

[dawn spire]

I think anything that could affect both the hit and the ignite (like increased fire damage) does not double dip.

Everything else does what it says on the box. Faster ignite makes your ignite dps go up but duration go down

[robust radish]

it is a scalable value

[dawn spire]

Not on this server

[robust radish]

im equipping a +2 quiver and got +3 to gem levels

looks like it truncates because 2*1.8 is 3.6

[dawn spire]

Yep, everything truncates

[robust radish]

also quiver is way more impactful than i thought... i just 2.5x my dps via a 1 exalt quiver because i was wearing some meh quiver i found in campaign for a while

[proper blaze]

but some useful nodes are behind som

[faint sundial]

for three dragon helm, it says hits from lighting damage now do freeze build up instead of shock chance. So is it pointless to add shock chance and magnitude ?

[twilit python]

Does quality of skill gem matter if it’s in a Cast on X gem?

[calm orchid]

For anyone else on sorc - is it just me or do ranged attacks absolutely obliterate you

[open ocean]

hold alt on gems to see what they give upon upgrading their quality

[magic girder]

Yes, dodge out of the way and/or use frost wall

[open ocean]

build evasion

[calm orchid]

It’s hard to dodge out of the way when 1 hit stun locks you

[open ocean]

tho evasion works only on projectiles without splash/aoe damage

[twilit python]

So if I put comet in cast on freeze does the quality of comet matter?

[mystic osprey]

does the "increased damage when affected by a herald" nodes stack with multiple heralds?

[open ocean]

it doesnt affect the skill it uses but improves the energy build up needed to trigger the socketed skills

[cursive maple]

Question, why do people call skills 5L if they only have 4 available slots for support gems?

[open ocean]

they should

[static plinth]

No

It would specify "per herald affecting you" if it did

[open ocean]

wait nvm, i missunderstood your question, it doesnt

[neat bison]

In Poe 1 chests and 2H weapons had 6 gem slots for skill links

[static plinth]

Carryover from 1

Skill + 4 supports = 5 Link

[cursive maple]

gotcha

if i'm seeing this

[neat bison]

Indeed

[cursive maple]

this is considered a 6L?

[twilit python]

Thank you so only the quality on CoF matters

[static plinth]

Yes

[tawny imp]

oil grenades say that they decrease fire resistance by 20% but then it also says ground oil decrease fire resistance by 20%. Do these stack or is it just 20% regardless?

[open ocean]

fml, i responded to the wrong guy twice sorry, your quality on comet still matters as it has its own effect and will be always in effect, doesnt matter if its on a cast on freeze trigger gem or outside one

[marsh sparrow]

hello everyone

cant block

The 10% movement speed debuff is just wretched though

[cursive maple]

are lesser jewlers orbs 1:1 exalt?

[marsh sparrow]

running full armour and regen lah

dont die me

[hallow laurel]

Is witch the meta class for minions? I noticed they exclusive swap some of their staring nodes for minion damage, it's +90% sum total minion damage
I thought the devs said other classes can work with minions but that seems to be a big gap for viability, or can someone explain to me otherwise

[open ocean]

peo1 people are used to go fast and poe2 is quite the opposite, so they go for anything that gives them speed and values them over many other stats

[snow sierra]

you can play minions very good without witch i playing chronomancer minions and its totaly fine, Titan summoner will work to, and so dos gemling

[neat bison]

You can make up for it in other ways, Titan for example gets 25% bonus of minor nodes so it would add up quite a bit.

and has good survivability

[snow sierra]

I beeting i can make any acendency work well with minions , is it optimal maybe not, but it will work in t16 easly

[hallow laurel]

I see. Can you elaborate on like the synergies with chrono
I think I get gemling due to the mass gem bonuses

[snow sierra]

i just like chrono, chrono has a inbuild solution for energy shield recharge, it has a slow aura and can resett the minion skills with a 33% chance so i can spamm them more

[mortal arrow]

Any idea where oaksworn sheild drops better at? Been farming and nothing.

[neat bison]

I got one from ritual, that’s the spirit shield yeah?

[hallow laurel]

Oh that's neat
I'm bypassing the cool downs with just massing one type of minion but I guess you can have a few of each and spam at will

[snow sierra]

well like i said its not optimal ^^, it will work tho running t16 brain afk atm

[hallow laurel]

Titan summoner seems cool too, but I'm a bit hung up on weapon sets - is to possible to keep the same sceptre and switch from weapon or shield for example

[kind crater]

Is it possible for 1 spell to ignite, shock and freeze all at once?

[snow sierra]

No its not to my knowledge

[hallow laurel]

There's some staff mods that add X% of damage as element but I don't know if that gives you enough to hit all ailments

[hybrid badge]

What would be a good gem to slot for cast on crit for a phys blood witch?

[mortal arrow]

@neat bison yes it is

[hallow laurel]

There's an elemental keystone that might grant all exposures of you're hitting all elements

[rocky pilot]

Guys whats the feasibility of really pulling off crit crossbow with an 8% base crit?

[pearl sluice]

What does "per 15 maximum mana" mean? Is this the same as per 15 mana found on the character window?

[frosty arrow]

that means for each 15 points of your mana's maximum value something will happen

depending on what that effect is

so, if it's something like +1 to something for each 15 maximum mana, and you have 150 mana you'll get 10 of that something. Since 150/15=10

[frosty arrow]

per 15 mana would simply mean per 15 of mana you have at the moment

[pearl sluice]

Thank you for clearing that up.

[normal pumice]

If I summon with a +2 to to minion skills weap and then switch to my secondary set that doesn't have the +2, will my summons retain the higher level, HP etc?

[hallow laurel]

Not sure where to ask - Is 8 ascendancy points the planned cap? Or is it going to be more when the game exits EA

[neat bison]

Probably staying at 8

[hallow laurel]

I don't think so. Sometimes the game doesn't illustrate this but it canceled one of my spirit reservations when I swapped gear

Actually does swapping resummon the minions or keep them there?

You may be able to visually test this by turning on health bars and seeing if it changes on a damaged minion

[open ocean]

it will resummon them

[open ocean]

tooltip should work, no ?

[hallow laurel]

Oh. Well that's that 😅

Oh, I play on controller 😓 not sure if there's an ez method

[open ocean]

i am not sure if it will update since there were some problems on updating the tooltip

[gleaming falcon]

is there still a way to make stun threshold scale with your ES?

[open ocean]

yes there are passive nodes for that

[gleaming falcon]

which ones exactly?

[vagrant plinth]

do these gloves permanently set your crit dmg to 300% or can you keep adding dmg on top of it?

[open ocean]

Asceticism, while the rest gives "additional" stun threshold based on your energy on % of your max energy shield

[tidal copper]

Sounds like a hard cap

[rich oasis]

You're always set to 300% no matter what

[tidal copper]

Base crit DMG is 100?
What can lower the value?...

[mystic shard]

? don't recoup effects already occur over 4 seconds?

[open ocean]

in poe 2 its 8sec

hold alt on "recoup effects" and it should be written there

[open ocean]

passive nodes, not sure if there are multiple, i know 1 so far which reduces it by 20%

[mystic shard]

oh ok, thx apathy

[thorny citrus]

I'm using shattering concoction with widowhail + quiver in offhand, why is my offhand crit bonus so much higher (crit chance is the same for both main and off hand) and which bonus counts for my attacks? Do other skills also have different main hand and off hand crit bonus values? D:

[static plinth]

Critical chance support lowers it iirc

[mystic shard]

oh shit...my build...noooooo

shit

is it better to specialize in one element for monk or multiple elements?

[mossy wave]

is that "base" of the crit chance 5% of this gem skill and is there no way to raise that base? Is this also modified by crit chance passive nodes? so a 50% crit chance from passive nodes would make this skill have an effective 7.5% crit chance?
