2┃build-planning

[mossy wave]

oh lol I see the tag now

[thin basin]

which streamer is makinga build with this

[static plinth]

No just send it

Its not worth it

Accuracy isnt completely dead anyway

[brave roost]

Trying to make a warrior totem build, does Split the Earth proc on totems or only when I cast a slam skill?

[lime ravine]

How does the warbringer negative armor work? If you don't consume it, what kind of scaling are we looking at? Can it go over 100% increase?

[lime ravine]

Pretty sure "you use" disqualifies totems

[hallow laurel]

Does seething body interact with mind over matter?

[brave roost]

Thanks.

[compact stream]

what is the difference between "Fire an additional projectile" versus "Load an additional volt"?

[frosty arrow]

load additional bolt gives you one extra bolt in magazine

[hallow laurel]

Ammo mechanics are different, I have to say +projectile stuff doesn't work on all Merc skills though

[mystic shard]

Seems to be very VERY little options to boost your max life in this game

[frosty arrow]

additional projectile will add one projectile when you actually fire

[lime ravine]

It's the same kind of language they use to prevent the "cast on" trigger skills from triggering themselves

[neat bison]

Strength, Gear and the +30 and +8% from campaign are what you got

[daring nova]

Is there a consensus on the best defensive approach? As far as between armor, evasion, and energy shield and the overlaps between them in gear.

[compact stream]

what does it mean "additional bolt"? if you shoot 3 projectiles per 1 bolt, does it mean it shoots 6?

[mystic shard]

should be more in passives for options

[frosty arrow]

best one is the one that's available to you in vicinity of your start on the tree

[quick wolf]

Anyone tried Eldritch Battery with Arcane Intensity and Mind Over Matter?

[compact stream]

or does it mean, the additional bolt does not require a "reload"?

[lime ravine]

All the streamers I see seem to agree ES is currently king

[mystic shard]

a lot of it should just be tied to the recoup stuff, as there is so much for energy shield and nothing for life.

[brave roost]

Do you happen to know the difference between totem atk speed and totem cast speed?

[frosty arrow]

no, it just adds one bolt to magazine. I don't know how much simpler I could break it down

if you have 5 shots per reload, you will have 6

[compact stream]

oh..!

got it.

[icy dome]

what is melee strike range and how does it work? i've quite a bit, +10 on my main skill and yet there doesn't seem to be "range" to it

[hallow laurel]

There is a funny mechanic where you can shoot a possibly unlimited magazine
One of the support gems has a chance to refund the shot
I mean it's not unlimited. I just had a few times it shot 6-8 straight

[open ocean]

they did it for a reason tho i cant tell you why, the poe1 passive skill tree has those nodes you are looking for

[quick wolf]

Can you lower an enemy's resistances below 0% with curses and exposure?

[undone mortar]

Yes

[open ocean]

someone has to confirm this but i assume +10 actually means just 1 meter, as the units in poe1 worked like that

[mystic shard]

sucks, so much for build variety, I think the absolute max I could get on the build I want is 2442 end game

maybe its enough but I dno how it is end game.

[open ocean]

i have seen people with up to 5k but probably through str stacking and high hp rolls in armor

[neat bison]

Ppl are reaching 4k yea, just takes a lot of work

[hallow laurel]

Is health considered a defensive layer? I get the impression players focus on other stuff in the tree

[neat bison]

I’m at 2887 on my infernalist

[open ocean]

but so far i enjoy less hp nodes more actually since i can use them for other stuff i find more usefull, while in poe 1 i was kinda forced to take the hp nodes

[icy dome]

ah okay, so barely worth it in the end or is there something i'm not thinking about... i mean, it doesn't hurt but it's not something worth building around, it seems

[neat bison]

Of course, you generally just want multiple layers

[hallow laurel]

This is helpful cause I was asking about how much health players get at endgame earlier 😄

Is 16 health gained per level, is that accurate? maybe 10-12 health per level actually someone fact check me

So the rest you're getting from gear/passives

[neat bison]

and STR

I’m planning on having more STR than int eventually

[hallow laurel]

Oh right I completely forgot about that

[open ocean]

i am not a melee player unfortunately so i cant answer that with confidence but i assume its not something to care about, not actively at least

[icy dome]

thanks

[celest cloak]

i did it and it removed +5

XD

L

-7 ex

[open ocean]

i have seen someone with 5k hp and 5k es but cant remember if it was infernalist as you asked or if it was a different class/ascendancy

[compact stream]

what's a proper amount of health/armor for a merc running in Tier10 maps?

[neat bison]

2K is probably the bare minimum

[weary umbra]

what is the max skill level?

[open ocean]

20

[weary umbra]

shiee... ty

[paper tiger]

My level 34 fireball Chronomancer build - Its mana heavy, but wipes out groups instantly lol. Also its extremely bright and flashy

[open ocean]

you can but further increase it by stats on gear that increase skill gem level

[neat bison]

can also risk a vaal orb for level 21

[quick wolf]

Risk an orb or risk the skill gem??

[open ocean]

both

you lose the orb anyway

[open ocean]

keep going until you get the achivement of crashing the game through the amount of projectiles on the screen (:

[rich oasis]

Is spark better dps than hexblast

[quick wolf]

How do you like Chronomancer? I almost picked it but went with Stormweaver because it seemed less intimidating

[ivory island]

anyone know whats the highest pure physical damaging skill in the game?

HotG?

[atomic halo]

yeah

[median kraken]

Just wait until you get wildshards if you don't have it. Fills the whole screen with fireballs when it procs.

[paper tiger]

I like it alot so far. Very high survivability and you can cheat your hp/mana with temporal rift lol

[astral badger]

which of these is better? ive been using the first one for the +4 cold skills, but the second is crazy with double damage perks, crit chance, and mana regen

[quick wolf]

93% inc crit is great especially if you are leaning into crits and CoC. Rapture will probably do more damage with your cold spells though even so. Cast speed and 4 levels

You can take switch them off and on with your skill gems open to see the difference

[astral badger]

hm ok. im not leaning into crit unfortunately. my passives focus cold damage, elemental damage, and all of the freeze buildup, etc.

[tranquil steeple]

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/profile/090211f4-e2db-4909-b415-2349cf1e99a2/builds/8e477f0b-545f-4b4f-aac2-6d5c11b21cf4

Any advice on where to take the build from here? Its built to stack electrocute and boost the elemental expression but dont know what to do to improve offensively with support gems and stuff.

Im planning on having it so storm wave use upheval but it loses too much dmg for it rn
im still doing campaign
so enemies arent so abundant that I need bigger clear
I know i want phys dmg on my staff but thats it
it gets electrocute really fast, like insanely so
but single target damage is lacking

I feel like my boss clear is bad but idk what to do

upheval is just not the answer rn but idk what is

[quick wolf]

Do you play with a group?

[weary umbra]

is it worth it to upgrade waystones to use in maps

[tranquil steeple]

no not usually

[fiery crag]

Does increase charge gain also count towards flask charge gain per second? Would I be able to go from 0.35 per second to 1.2 with 250% increase charge gain?

[quick wolf]

The small passive leading to Killer Instinct should be switched to the other side then. Unless there's another way you have an ally present?

Or maybe I missed that you have a minion

[tranquil steeple]

it is on the otherside it just chose that path on the website whoops

my monster clear is pretty crazy even without upheval but my single target i feel like really pales

[median kraken]

It does in PoE1, so I assume it does in PoE2 but don't know for sure

[quick wolf]

Gotcha. How about some damage pen with storm surge?

[tranquil steeple]

I have the ring for all lightning damage and the ascendancy node that ignores resistance on crits

[quick wolf]

Right

[manic lynx]

I saw someone on Chronomancer time freeze a boss for 22 seconds. Can Chronomancer go even higher than that?

[dawn spire]

Man, the heckin patch the other day has absolutely blown the lid right off of my ice shot barrage chronomancer. I am so excited to make a build so op they have to nuke it from orbit like cast on freeze comet

[quick wolf]

If you're critting a lot does pathing to Deadly Force make sense? seems like a damage boost almost 100% of the time

[tranquil steeple]

probably should. ill drop endless circuit

I only consume shock with elemental expression

Like the build is good I just need better single target and idk how to get that

I dont think harmonic generator is worth it given shock gets consumed

[fiery crag]

Thanks I’ll give it a test with lower values and see, hopefully it works and glad they dropped the cost on respec

[errant tulip]

guys which is better:

A. evasion + ES chest and helmet
B. pure evasion chest + pure ES helmet?

[turbid haven]

are monks going for ice strike or tempest flurry?

[quick wolf]

This is a little out of the box, but what if you used Hand of Chayula gem with Hinder support after speccing into Hinder Capabilities? Might change your rythm and I would imagine you'd just use it bossing

[robust radish]

can someone help me get more tanky, i have max resists and decent life on my gear i think but i just get 100-0 if i dont dodge a boss ability

https://streamable.com/612a8r

really frustrating

0 dmg juice on the map

like ye i should dodge but should it really 100-0

83% evasion rating as well

[quick wolf]

Enfeeble curse an option?

[dawn spire]

1700 life
No debuffs to lower enemy damage
No CC
Can't see boss' animations from that position
Global chat on

[quick wolf]

Looks like you need more life on gear to me.

[robust radish]

ive got 100+ life on most of my pieces

[dawn spire]

And 0 on the rest?

[brazen marlin]

So I was thinking of doing a lightning / ice based crossbow invoker. Not entirely sure how workable it will actually be.

[robust radish]

only piece that doesnt is my boots cause i thought it was a decent amount

guess i can get more but idk this is a t6 map

[woeful tinsel]

@thick thunder or anyone else who is around, I'm finally able to actually check out my build lol.

[robust radish]

what life total do i need to be safe from that in maps

i imagine i get 100 more life t7 or any mod will still 1shot me

[dawn spire]

From not dodging a boss one-shot ability? Probably way more than you can get

[quick wolf]

Life is pretty low. I have 1k life and 1kES on my lvl 50 char right now

[brazen marlin]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/passive-tree/vv8bh0vo I have the skilltree as this right now, but obviously that's spread way too thin. I think I'll have to drop all the top nodes and figure something better out.

[robust radish]

ES is a bit diff

[brazen marlin]

I almost wonder if the crossbow nodes on the bottom are even worth having to do all that travel to

[woeful tinsel]

The main question on this for anyone that could help is why my damage on volcanic fissure isn't igniting enemies

[robust radish]

ill try to pick up more int for enfeeble ig

[dawn spire]

Personally I think you're missing opportunities to apply debuffs to the boss. It looks like you just held down your attack button. No curse, no chilled ground, no blind, no stun buildup, nothing

[robust radish]

idk how to cc the boss aside from the stun i do occasionally

[last patio]

does fast forward work with ghost dance?

[brazen marlin]

To be clear that tree above isn't something I'd actually use I'm just trying to figure out a way to make the idea work rn

[robust radish]

i usualyl have pretty good stun buildup

[dawn spire]

What spirit gems are you using?

[quick wolf]

Recommend getting a curse like enfeeble. He'll do less damage. Start there anyway

[robust radish]

wind dancer, herald of thunder, herald of ash

i cant use both enfeeble and flammability right, was going to run that eventually

[strong swift]

when you take eldritch battery, is the amount of ES converted AFTER multiplier calculations or base energy shield only?

[quick wolf]

Only if you have the keystone passive or unique ring that lets you use two curses

[dawn spire]

Wind dancer is pretty pog, but yeah, two offensive spirit buffs might not be worth.

[dawn spire]

With EB, it was never energy shield for the sake of modifiers, so %es will not help

[robust radish]

what other spirit buff do you suggest

would acrobatics help

i feel i actually have less evasion and take more dmg when i take it lol

[dawn spire]

In that specific clip? Yeah. Overall? Idk if it's worth

[dawn spire]

You DO have less evasion with acrobatics

70% less, to be precise

[robust radish]

yeah but i guess it dodges aoes now

[dawn spire]

You can evade aoes with it, yeah

[strong swift]

not even the % on the equipment?

[robust radish]

so getting hit by this is gonna 1shot most builds?

[dawn spire]

That's local and counts toward it. Global es mods won't tho

[dawn spire]

I'd reckon so, yeah. Though if you had more life and armor it might have saved you

I can't say for sure

We don't know boss damage values

[strong swift]

gotcha. so does the mana that is converted from es count towards mana mods?

[dawn spire]

Or the armor formula

[dawn spire]

Yes

Well, mana mods will affect all of your mana after EB

[strong swift]

gotcha thank you

[woven otter]

Does ambush support gem guarantee a crit on full health enemies? (100% more crit chance)

[robust radish]

is there a better defensive buff i can use for bossing, i think ash + thunder both dont work

[dawn spire]

Defense in poe needs to be layered in order to offer any meaningful protection.

Life, armor, resists, energy shield, and % damage reduction all help vs one-shots.

Flasks, regen, recoup, evasion, block, leech, etc. help vs sustained damage.

Then there are things like chills, freezes, electrocution, stuns, slow effects, etc. Those all make the one-shots easier to manage/dodge.

Imo, you need a mixture of all three if you want to reliably survive poe2.

[main jetty]

what does Max quality is 50% on breach rings even mean?

[dawn spire]

It means you can catalyze them to 50% quality instead of 20% quality

[main jetty]

and what does catalyze mean? some breach mechanic i didnt get to just yet?

[dawn spire]

No, it takes your crit chance and adds 100% of it. It's effectively double crit chance

[woven otter]

Got it tks

[dawn spire]

Yeah. It's a currency that can add quality to jewelery

[dense bramble]

is max mana or ES higher prio for spark archmage with CI/MOM/EB

[main jetty]

oh ok ty

[dawn spire]

Global %inc es does nothing for your mana. ES on gear is massive since it gets boosted by your %inc mana stats

[dense bramble]

so i can start taking off some ES nodes on the passive after swap?

[dawn spire]

Basically your mana is:
(base es from gear + flat ES + base mana) x mana modifiers

[icy dome]

this thing seems quite ... insane? what could you do with it, any idea?

[dawn spire]

Yeah, once you have EB, the %es nodes on the tree shouldn't do anything as far as I know. The game forgets that that mana was ever energy shield and only scales with mana (the final result). All conversion works this way as far as I know.

[dense bramble]

ah ok thank you

[dawn spire]

Exalt attack speed on it if you're lucky

[icy dome]

well okay but then what to do with it haha

what kind of build would use such thing

[robust radish]

lightning monk probably?

[dawn spire]

I'm not sure tbh. I'd hold alt and see how high of a tier those mods are. Based on the level 51 requirement I don't think it's something you can use for the whole endgame

But it'll get you through early maps probably

[icy dome]

problem is that everything converts physical -> element

[dawn spire]

So?

[icy dome]

well that thing has no phys

[dawn spire]

That doesn't actually have any negative impact if you use that staff though

[robust radish]

there are not many (if any) % phys increases in the tree

[dawn spire]

Why do you think phys conversion skills would be bad with that staff?

[icy dome]

idk, i just do 😂

[robust radish]

since ur converting all to lightning, the flat damage will be added either way before the conversion if it was phys dmg, or after

an its all buffed by % lightning dmg nodes and % atk nodes

[icy dome]

aha

so in a way it's actually better to have flat lightning

[dawn spire]

Sometimes yeah

[robust radish]

its the same as phys for a converting build

[icy dome]

100 lightning staff, 100 phys staff, 80% conversion

the first one will deal more dps

[robust radish]

yes if you dont have 100% conversion

[dawn spire]

They'd do the same if you had no other modifiers

But if you scaled lightning on the tree, the lightning would win

[robust radish]

usually conversion builds take a bunch of % lightning dmg and % elemental dmg and % elemental penetration

ye

[icy dome]

with 0 armour, no resistances ye

[dawn spire]

Oh, yeah, resistances. But penetration is plentiful

[icy dome]

well well well. interesting

learned something, thanks

[coarse shale]

hmmm...

[lament crow]

anyone know if flicker is considered as moving?

[lament elk]

can you essence jewels?

[wind jetty]

How does MoM interact with life recoup?

Does it make it useless?

[solemn island]

in terms of damage, what gets calculated first, conversion or increases?

[main jetty]

where do i get soul cores? (looking for socketable chaos res)

[calm orchid]

So does fire just suck ass for all the classes except witch

[main jetty]

i mean armor explosion is technically fire...

[rough kelp]

do cast on crit works with the damage you crit for? like energy gained

[storm willow]

the damage of warrior's abilities scales with the damage of my weapon?

[atomic halo]

yes

(if it's an attack that uses your weapon, which is the vast majority of them)

[storm willow]

uhh i use hammer of the gods, stampede and earthshatter

so only stampede scales with the dmg of my weapon right?

[sonic steppe]

I know of - Trial of chaos

[atomic halo]

those are all attacks that use your weapon

[storm willow]

😭

[hybrid ocean]

Before I go checking things exhaustively, has anyone else already checked what the most + crit chance you can feasibly obtain is?

[atomic halo]

surely it depends greatly on the build and the skill being used?

[rough kelp]

node or gear

[hybrid ocean]

Nodes, should've specified

[hybrid ocean]

Thinking of increases, not the final value

[rough kelp]

well you can get 100% easily enough

[hybrid ocean]

Is the +1% from that one node additive or multiplicative?

I.e. does it benefit from the % increasess

[rough kelp]

the what?

If you get +1% crit chance then it should add 1 to your base crit yes

unless it says increased

[hybrid ocean]

Iirc it doesn't specify base is the thing

But that is also the obvious interpretation, so

I'm wanting to try making a build around this

Probably a meme, but potentially fun

Maybe this + widowhail with a crit and firerate quiver?

[prisma nimbus]

Will this work with like mercenary lightning builds? cause I'm working on that for my character where could I even get this?

[elder nebula]

does the +20% increased physical dmg rune scale with added phys and/or the increased phys on this weapon?

[atomic ruin]

question if i equpt curse support gems on blasphemy does it apply to the curse for example hex bloom?

[cold cipher]

Does anyone know how critical weakness from malice aura is applied?
Is it added to base crit chance before all increases and reductions or it's added do crit chance after all increases and reductions?

[main jetty]

is there a way to make eye of winter into "main dmg skill"? i only see ppl use it as debuffer or CoC enabler but i really like the feel of the skill...

[obtuse owl]

Does anyone know how damage works, if a have a bow that is chaos dmg and elemental no physical at all, an ability that converts 100% phys dmg to elemental how does thay ability still do dmg?

[mighty delta]

Hi, new here

[main jetty]

any bow still has base dmg roll as in if you take away all suffixes and prefixes it will still have some sort of dmg value and that dmg is phys

[mighty delta]

Hoping I'm in the right place to ask this about a build

With bloodmage ascendancy(lvl 50 here) I wanna use gore spike for more crit in my hexblast, but im hearing it's bugged and doesn't work?

[hybrid ocean]

Probably just to test it with the cold vulnerability one, since it displays the actual value of the curse below the enemy health bar.

[tacit tide]

It works but doesnt show on the skill info

[obtuse owl]

Does this bow w/o prefixes and suffixes have a hidden phys dmg value?

[mighty delta]

So if I respec from leech into the crit side, I WILL be dealing that extra damage?

[tacit tide]

Yes but can u survive

[dense oriole]

Is this good for mercenary? I am on act 3 and have yet to socket anything because I don't want to waste them. 😅

[sonic steppe]

It will act as if the total will become 93% increased physical damage if 1x 20% is used.

[mighty delta]

I mean, maybe lol

Might f around n find out

[rough kelp]

Should be added to your base crit chance so before the crit chance multi

[main jetty]

huh, interesting: it seems i was wrong, poe 2 does have no-phys bow. in that case i have no idea why phys conversion would work... Unless you have some other source of phys dmg like flat roll on quiver or iron ring and such

[cold cipher]

That's good to hear

Thanks

[tacit tide]

This is without gorespike visual change

The base 15% from the ascendancy is very good

[obtuse owl]

I never played poe1 so idk how calculations work, i havent tested this bow rlly was just saw it and was curious if it was meant to not work if you were say lightning deadeye

[main jetty]

i'd say you dont need to worry about sockets untill endgame. Just get a habit of picking up everything with sockets and breaking it for artificer shards. During campaign i would worry more about dmg output and resistances/life on the pieces i get: you will probably switch it out for a better one soon enough

[wanton night]

hello im trying this build for deadeye power charge generator with monk skills i had a question in mind does thrilling chase interact with resonance or not anyone knows and thx

[dense oriole]

Ok thanks for the advice.

[rough kelp]

how do gem quality work? Like how much are you gaining from the quality

[mystic osprey]

are increased shock effect nodes worthwhile? how much damage do they increase of the shock?

[mighty delta]

@tacit tide my hexblast is only 3socket right now.

[main jetty]

gemcutters gives you 5% per orb, you can see what it gives by pressing Alt while hovering over gem so 1 gemcutter gives you 25% of max value that you see there

[dire bane]

Hey all, new to POE, found this tonight, level 24 sorceress, seems like it would be kinda cool for a leveling build, any ideas?

[main jetty]

shock is 20% more dmg if its worth or not, depends on the build... Some builds use shock as a "bonus dmg", others use it as a cast on shock trigger, some actually build into shock effect, it depends

[midnight plume]

hey hey, if i have Eldritch Battery which transforms all my es to mana and then get increased damage on full es does it just do nothing?

[exotic aurora]

im going ice invoker build is it good?

[plain marten]

what makes explosion damage stronger? if im converting 90% of fire into cold with gauntlet. Should i just keep going for more cold damage? or fire damage? I've been going mostly for cold but idk which would make more sense

[whole bobcat]

how do you equip sorcery ward spell for merc? i see it's available but no skill gem for it

[dense oriole]

What does distilled emotions mean?

[flint grove]

I'm trying to make a nonstop supply of power charges as a invoker monk BUT I'm so confused on how to get non stop power charges, one way is through resonance+combat frenzy I dont want to use it since everytime I try to eletrocute or use the support gem pin from wind dancer it SHOULD give me a FRENZY charge but when use resonance it gets converted into an ENDURANCE charge like what and people are still using it. The other way that I discovered is through reapers invocation with profane ritual it literally tells me that the more melee kills I do the more times I can use the reapers invocation but it takes forever and hardley lets me even use it not sure what to do.

[modern tangle]

How much DPS would you say, on average, is worth 1 skill point in projectile skills?

[tacit tide]

distilled emotions are items that can be dropped and used to allocated the skill without it linking, for example this one needs the 3 emotions to allocate.
once allocated, u dont need to put skill points in the small passive to get it

[dense oriole]

If I use a skill point rn though will I still get this buff?

[oblique marlin]

How to double corrupt items in Poe 2 and what Omen of Corruption doing exactly?

[tacit tide]

yes, distilled emotions doesnt matter if u allocate stuff. its for allocating distant nodes that are not connected

[dense oriole]

Oh ok cool. Ty 🙂

[merry cedar]

Anyone else notice Galvanic shots gives no bonus when you add quality? I am sure this is true for other skill gems?

[main jetty]

while holding Alt, click on the other tab (i think for galvanic its "explosion" or something)

[willow elm]

Opinions about Time-Lost jewels versus normal jewels?

[crisp star]

if i take eldritch battery does it take into account the ES % nodes i've already taken in my tree to boost my mana into like 4k -5k or it really only takes into account base ES + max mana stuff?

[tacit tide]

local %es and flat es counts they go directly to the item, while the global %es don't if your eb is converting your es

so no it doesnt

[crisp star]

ok. so i guess it's aight to skip ES nodes then

[zealous bison]

Does anyone know if ice shot's secondary projectiles are able to chain off of terrain?

[crisp star]

then just full pump mana and item ES

[oblique marlin]

How to double corrupt items in Poe 2 and what Omen of Corruption doing exactly?

[calm orchid]

So I currently have 2 res capped, immune to chaos and my 4th res is terrible. Should I balance out the 4th and only have 1 capped?

Idk if that makes sense

[merry cedar]

on Xbox I push Right Stick for the usual details and there is nothing there. I do see the details for things like Rapid Fire or Attrition though. Could possibly be a bug or oversight.

Looking forward to when we can quality our support gems and power creep further like PoE1

[calm orchid]

I wish we could quality rings so I could stop trying to keep my res’s capped with every upgrade

[vagrant plinth]

is there a cap on attack speed

[merry cedar]

Breach is super fun btw, seems like density is fine T15 corrupted maps usually dont end in wipes with 2k health.

love the fast pace

[gray ferry]

well we technically have ring quality through catalysts no

[calm orchid]

Oh do we

I wouldn’t know

[calm orchid]

.

[gray ferry]

I just remember that breach rings can get up to 50% quality

with catalysts

[merry cedar]

breach rings are the new BiS

[calm orchid]

I wish I had any idea what that meant

[merry cedar]

especially if you get +added damage and + ele and + res lightning for example

[calm orchid]

I can’t get far enough cause I die in hard content cause I don’t have good gear that I must get from the hard content

Gaming

🗿

[main jetty]

does currency exchange work in ssf? or does it count as trade?

[merry cedar]

adds + 1-56 lightning damage, adds light spell damage, and adds lightning resistance

easy BiS for a lightning user

after 50 quality

[calm orchid]

I abandoned my sorc

Ranger is way better ngl

[solemn cosmos]

Guys
If i have 100 mana pre sec with 120% mana regen and i added the node mind over matter which reduce 50% mana regen
Do i have 70%? Or do i have 50 mana per sec

[merry cedar]

lightning merc has been fine t15

use rapid shot for bosses

[calm orchid]

You absolutely need god gear for lightning or you just get hardstuck in t10’s

[main jetty]

50. MoM is "less" modifier, so it reduces EVERYTHING by 50%

[calm orchid]

For sorc

[merry cedar]

ya with sorc u have to go heavy energy shield

[calm orchid]

Ranger I simply walk in and everything ded

[solemn cosmos]

Ok

[merry cedar]

play into the mana and ES nodes that fuel each other

so you can have like 10k ES and 1 health

[calm orchid]

Yeah my sorc is level 80 still not enough ES

[merry cedar]

also means you cant get bleed or poison

which is a huge advantage

[calm orchid]

You gotta be like top .1% sorc gear to be running t15’s

For lightning anyways

Idk about the other builds

You get hit once and it’s a wrap LOL

One of those builds where you absolutely need everything for it to work correctly otherwise you just have a miserable experience

[merry cedar]

that is the fun of the game though…being mostly SSF and only going full trade when you run out of ideas to improve your build.

we have almost none of the full release of uniques, so build diversity will only improve with time.

[worldly stone]

anyone have a good gemling legionaire build

[plain marten]

Does magnitude of chill add more damage?

[shell temple]

If both me and my friend have skills that build to electrocution, are they additive with each other?

[meager tulip]

yo

why wont herald of ash trigger, the buff icon doesnt show up. yes i have the spirit and right clicked it

[median kraken]

No, just slows enemies more

[plain marten]

I heard that shock magnitude increases damage though?

[neat bison]

Is there a support slotted that you don’t have the attributes for?

[meager tulip]

i am following a build

it doesnt work even when theres no suppport

[neat bison]

Hm

[plain marten]

ALSO poison magnitude increases damage for poison per tic

it seems like in tooltip magnitude helps you chill enemies when your hits damage is low

so probably more for bossing i suppose

[merry silo]

hey guys is this any good?

[modern tangle]

low-mid but its alright for campaign

you mostly want cold damage and not lightning and mana regen instead of life (if at all), good rolls include extra arrow on bow attack

and not elemental dmg, instead physical damage increase and added physical damage

What I said above is relevant at least for most LA / LR builds

[vivid laurel]

any idea why i cant progress to this node. there are a bunch on my atlas that i can select

[dense harness]

anyone having issues sustaining t15 maps? my tree is specced specifically for extra map drops and higher map drops, im targetting bosses. still having issues sustaining. i have a quad full of lower tier maps below 13, and any 14s im forging as soon as i can. but all it takes is a run of a few maps of no t15 drops and im back scratching and clawing for it. like it almost feels like they want me to run unoptimized no xp maps on pathways leading up to bosses and then just run my t15s and up on irradiated / corrupted bosses

[wintry prism]

Someone playing Demon build ? I don't know wich skill gem i could use. Currently I use Ember, Fireball and Flamewall. But Ember feels a bit off with this build for clearance. what's the point of being fast af but have to wait for the skill to release. Any ideas for something more spammable?

[flat orbit]

wow

[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?

[verbal sundial]

set 1 and 2 can each have it's own passive tree?

[static spade]

Only 23 worth of points I think

[dense harness]

like literally once again ran a level 81 zone/boss, got 6 waystone drops, none of them above t11

[meager tulip]

Hello, I have 2 ming’s heart ring. One with 45% damage instead of 30-40. Anyone have the furtive wraps willing to trade for the rings?

Sorry if this is not the right place

[analog finch]

stormweaver spark what gear should stats must look for ??

[floral helm]

So random question,
I know hexblast removes one curse.
But I could have sworn while I was looking into builds and stuff like that, that there was I don't know if it was in the support tree or if it was a support gem; But I could have sworn there was something that made you remove all of the curses to deal much more damage.

Is this a thing or did I have just some weird fever dream from playing 300 hours of this game

[low glacier]

Does elemental damage trump physical damage in every scenario where they're both equal?

[wheat blade]

okay here me out @haughty onyx ... nine jewel sockets

[haughty onyx]

Yeah, can't get better than that.

Also you can probably compensate some damage on the other jewel slot? What can roll on the other affix?

[wheat blade]

at 9% curse effect per socket... (we would need at least an 81% adorned which is about 25 divines)

8 jewels x9%: 72% curse effect
Tree: 63% + 20% situational
Helm corrupt: 10%
Gems: 35% (36% from corrupt?)

Total: 180%, 200% situationally exactly

which puts us at the temp chains theoretical cap of 75% slower which means x4 duration, which means forty seconds for our chayula stacks :3

[wheat blade]

lets see here...

• curse duration
• crit
• crit dmg bonus
• cast speed
• +2% Max cold res (would become +3%, so we could just cap cold res lol)
• ES as extra stun threshold (This is likely our best stat)
• Meta skills gain % increased energy

[haughty onyx]

Where does Adorned drop? I assume Ulti? Could be if not farmable then combine earnings from Ulti with gamba

[wheat blade]

I think ulti, it sure looks like ulti

[pearl orbit]

ote to ggg
please change freeze so that if u remove the freeze urself
the extra freeze threshold is not applied thanks
i understand not wanting bosses permafrozen but my cold sorc now has issues with magic mobs that don't get 1 tapped
my only damage sources are cold snap and CoF comet, both relying on me to freeze
pls ggg don't let us suffer for the sins of party play

[unique gyro]

How good is warrior

[pale jewel]

anyone knows how different CCs interact on same enemy? say I freeze and electrocute a boss at the same time, both apply at the same time effectively or?

[tranquil steeple]

Build advice?

[wet mango]

chill doesn't add damage. "ailment magnitude" basically means "whatever this ailment does, make it bigger". That's what magnitude means

[analog finch]

stormweaver spark what gear stats should look for ??

[uncut bay]

mana, intelligence, resistances, cast speed, + to skills, lightnimg damage, elemental damage

[cosmic harbor]

what is the good sorc build now? I am looking for something easy to play

[uncut bay]

well archmage stormweaver is the most popular and it's incredibly tanky, hits the whole screen and even stuns for 5 seconds xD

[cosmic harbor]

do you have a link maybe?

[uncut bay]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/caeye0hz

but don't go for block chance passive nodes maybe

and don't use the unique shield unless it has a high roll like 550 or sonething, or it has 3 sockets xD

[unique gyro]

How good is warrior

[flat orbit]

is double herald build still good for monk? or should i do something else

[uncut bay]

I dont see any reliable tier lists, sadly we are in the dark a little bit
but warrior can do the highest tier maps and kill bosses for sure

[feral halo]

is it possible to lvl up corrupted skill gems?

[uncut bay]

you can lvl up but can not change quality

[feral halo]

oh sweet!

awesome I'm so glad

the quality is already 20% but it's 19

[unique gyro]

I like monk buy I always feel behind no matter what I do rn I'm lvl 50 and in cruel but I feel like I felt when I first started

[feral halo]

just hit a 5 socket

[uncut bay]

nice

[uncut bay]

I felt the same. then I found the right build. my friend plays monk he could barely do t4 maps. then he cganged his build now blasti g through t15

[unique gyro]

My friend can do tier 15 also but it feels like I'm always struggling until I can get to endgame

[mossy wave]

blasphemy doesn't seem to work when I switch to bow, even though I have enough spirit and meet the stat reqs

it shows that it is ongoing but no aura and spirit shown isn't reserved

[clear sphinx]

so i've got a mechanics question i'm hoping someone can help with. i know that projectiles cannot "shotgun" in this game just like poe1, like for example using scattershot to make high velocity rounds shoot thrice would still only allow 1 of those projectiles to deal damage, however i'm wondering if this also applies to aoe overlaps. i know that skeleton arsonists take advantage of scattershot to overlap the aoe of their bombs in order to effectively shotgun, however i'm curious as to whether or not this works the same way with player aoes such as grenades. been trying to test it out myself but i'm finding my results to be inconclusive.

[mossy wave]

oddly it also forses "used with weapon set" to uncheck when I right click to deactivate

then I can't turn it back on

[uncut bay]

turn off another auras that might eat up spirit

[mossy wave]

turned off all other auras

[uncut bay]

multiple elemental storms can hit the same target at the same time, maybe that helps

[uncut bay]

just make sure this weapon set uses only the right auras

else idk

[upper orchid]

Guys i have doubt Shield Wall is melee damage?

[clear sphinx]

i'm moreso trying to figure out whether or not multiple projectiles from a single button press stack, i haven't played sorc so i'm not 100% sure how elemental storm works but my understanding is that it's like a built in meta skill that procs on crit and so having multiple different hits proc the storm and them all dealing damage makes sense to me

i was pretty confident that under no circumstances did shotgunning work outside of explicit skills which state otherwise, the only ones that come to mind are the mercenary ammo's that are just literal shotguns, but learning about the skeleton arsonist interaction has me wondering if all aoe skills can overlap now

[mossy wave]

is there a chart of % differences in hp between each of the witch minions?

barely above the hp difference to consume them

using skeletal warriors right now but considering shifting to another minion if they have more hp

[uncut bay]

good question. hard to theory craft in this channel though

[clear sphinx]

i just asked in another chat and i was told by multiple people that aoes can indeed shotgun, thanks for the replies tho i appreciate any input

[uncut bay]

if it was elden ring people would have already thrown a couple of excel spreadsheets at you xD

hm np

[feral halo]

what does improving quality of a skill do? I increased it to 20% but the dps didn't go up

what's the hidden benefit?

[clear sphinx]

each individual skill scales differently

it will say what quality does to a given skill at the very bottom of the description

you have to hold alt to make it display the info

[normal pumice]

Holding alt key while hovering over the skill gem reveals quality effect

[hybrid sigil]

How stupid of an idea is this?

[normal pumice]

Looks like my ranger tree

[tidal copper]

Depends on the strength of the build
The most top end builds usually end up like that I feel

[hybrid sigil]

I have this right now

With a staff

Pretty cool playing both monk and warrior skills

But I feel like I should take those monk staff passives

[tidal copper]

Bleed? What you using?

[pearl sluice]

Can cold conversion still apply shock?

[tidal copper]

Can cold DMG shock?

[tranquil steeple]

you should look at these too staff is two handed

[tranquil steeple]

no, same as lightning converted from cold cant

freeze

or chill

[tidal copper]

Is that worth? That's like 24 points

[pearl sluice]

Terrible build found on the internet... Who would have though?

thought

[tranquil steeple]

respeccing is so cheap in this game, really you can just play blindly and it will work out

all damage numbers are clear

[hybrid sigil]

Been switching between warrior and monk attacks and keep coming to monk ones, they are more fun, thats why I want to respec the bleeds and go to staff/elemental stuff

[tranquil steeple]

look up builds and support gems for inspiration

[sterile stone]

no its not lol, the tooltip doesnt tells you everything

[fickle thistle]

How much accuracy do i need? it only shows my accuracy for 2m on the tooltip

[tranquil steeple]

ofc not everything but its more than enough to get a basic idea of stuff

[pearl sluice]

They are? Because my DPS for Firewall was higher with Blue Flame gloves but didn't seem to be damaging anything.

[tranquil steeple]

its not super clear especially with some things

[snow sierra]

Dos Infernal Legion and Minion Instablility scale with Minion Dmg or only Minion Life ?

[tranquil steeple]

but for monk usually its pretty accurate

even if the numbers dont tell you everything just look at the damage your actually doing

keep in mind some enemies have higher resistance and stuff

[sterile stone]

imo its only useful for people who already familiar with the game, like it doesn count shotgun, indirect damage affected by proj speed or duration, and rn more dmg per chain on arc also isnt listed

alot of things just have to be counted manually

[tranquil steeple]

yea but then you just do an eye test

look at how fast you clear stuff

I use it more to compare two support gems or something

[sterile stone]

its always better to follow someones build if one doesn like redoing stuff

and thank god they reduce respec cost

[tranquil steeple]

Yea if you want to just follow someone

I think you appreciate the game more by ramming your head at it until you work it out yourself but its literally just personal preference

[weak knoll]

hey, i'm in valley of ittnat and theres this on the map, what is that ?

[low glacier]

How bad is physical damage for endgame?

[hybrid sigil]

I try to do things on my own, even if they suck. I feel like I am learning the game better this way

[sterile stone]

idk if i was just unlucky, but its pretty hard making things work unless the game gave you gear or currency to work with, my char was stuck until i funnel some from my older char for acts

[upper orchid]

There is a node i can convert my Fire damage to Physical damage??

[tranquil steeple]

For other classes it was like that for me but monk i clicked with

[sterile stone]

i wasnt planning to trade for when i level my sorc but literally got 0 upgrade after id-ing and auging stuff

[main cedar]

Yo, running a dd build rn. Everyone recommends keeping the skill gem level low but If I can handle the mana increase will upgrading the gem increase my dps significantly?

[feral halo]

is it possible to get a 5 socket chest piece?

my friend is saying he seen one

if so how would you do that?

[fickle thistle]

Anyway for lightning skills to break armor?

[low glacier]

Anyone here experienced with Warrior? I'm torn between trying to spec into a stun/fire build vs an armor break/stun build. Is purely physical damage bad at endgame?

[lofty grotto]

[livid hamlet]

Why do you want that? Cause if it's for Doryani's prototype it's the lightning damage that you receive that is being negated by armor

[fickle thistle]

hm?

[rough kelp]

I have found fix to price issue

[fickle thistle]

im talking about breaking enemy amor

[rough kelp]

hell to mana go life and convert cost to life + leech

no one wants those so cheap build

no mana issue

[pearl sluice]

I just figured out what the build did... It's the Shaper of Storms ascendancy node. All damage from hits contributes to shock chance.

[lyric helm]

besides quality on gem, what ways are there to increase energy gain modifier?

[rough kelp]

jewels

[lyric helm]

hah

thank you

[snow sierra]

Man having a shield is just insanely strong

[worthy arch]

are totems considered 'allies'?

[lyric helm]

what's the suffix?

nvm found it

meta skill gain increase energy

[tropic talon]

Anyone ?

[silver geode]

what does this shatter do, compared to what cold snap does?

[pulsar oriole]

What are the best jewels for warrior?

[feral halo]

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/alkaizer-stampede-hotg

[plucky flare]

Is new better than equipped? Am gemling grenadier for context

[hasty meadow]

whats breach ring for? what does it mean by quality mx is 50? how to get quality in ring?

[frosty arrow]

how could anyone tell. Game does the math for you. Check the stats of your skills, swap them back and forth. Play with them

but for grenadier I wouldn't consider any other crossbow than bombard anyway

[plucky flare]

True true. Somehow this is the first viable bombard I’ve tried. Dps numbers do go down for now but I bet when I put two runes in it’ll be higher 🫡

[simple gust]

is this good for Galvanic Lightning Merc build?

[frosty arrow]

there are things numbers won't show either. More bombs - more coverage, faster clear. Higher chance of extra grande activations too, if you have that node on the tree, etc

[sterile stone]

game doesnt tells you the shotgunning, if youre dealing 500 with 1 proj, now you deal 1000 with 2 proj

[plucky flare]

Damn I was just thinking that w scattershot math too extremely valid

Thanks fellas 🙏

[finite mica]

is there any ghost dance equivalent ? cant find

[mossy wave]

which one should I use, I'm focusing on critting hexblast

don't see a reaason to switch over since 100% spell damage is pretty cracked

i'm not using volatile dead though

don't see a reason to use mana drain either though

[feral halo]

do you need to have a specific lvl heavy belt to hit the headhunter unique?

[sterile stone]

you will find or can buy way better weapon with 1ex

in acts, just use whichever make number goes up

people usually only use unique for spesific reason not stats

[mossy wave]

so in this case the unique is still giving me better stats right?

[sterile stone]

yep looks like it

[feral halo]

do you need to have a specific lvl heavy belt to hit the headhunter unique?

when using orbs of chance*

[wary canopy]

if a map has "monsters penetrate 15% resistance" does having 90% resist keep you at the cap?

[native widget]

guys i have a question, when mana tempest says effect last x more seconds after leaving the storm(from quality) does that only apply to the effect part or to the mana draining part as well

[keen glade]

is culling strike is not that good if you can reliably one tap magic/rares mobs? or is it still worth keeping for unique creatures?

[sterile stone]

if its as simple as it sounds then yes, bcs in poe 1 it seems pretty convoluted(?)

https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Resistance_penetration
https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Penetration

[wanton trout]

Is evasion build even useful? i'm playing ranger with 75% evasion, but most boss can 1-hit me, seems to me some boss aoe skill can always ignore evasion.

[gleaming escarp]

guys anyone planning aura/curse bot build?

can share detail if anyone know

[old kayak]

Is there really no way to play a Shotgun build with the Gemling Mercenary ? Do I have to use grenades and elemental damage / ailments ?
What I'd love it to use Physical damage (maybe armor break) the closer you are the more damage you deal

[abstract mountain]

what are some of the most powerful projectile spells? going for a build that will get both projectile and spell damage

[charred isle]

Is Explosion part of Decompose (https://poe2db.tw/us/Decompose) is considered as "Hitting" when it does Fire Damage?

[lilac lava]

Hey guys, does that mean than dead minions do not leave usable corpses ?

[astral willow]

correct

[lilac lava]

is there a robust way to create corpse for boss fight (e.g.) when there is no mob to slain ?

[versed wren]

Any good Website where u can plan out a build but also see Modifiers applied from Passive tree & items

[astral willow]

not as far as I know, and most extra mobs in boss fights don't seem to leave corpse

[wanton drift]

Anyone got an endgame build idea for Quecholli? Looks like a Coc build

[wanton drift]

As of today, bonestorm

[drifting cedar]

Having played at least one of every base class and several multiple times for different builds, ES seems pretty overtuned atm

[wanton drift]

Hows survivability with 75max resists and say 4k es? Thinking of switching over

[drifting cedar]

Unsure, but thats a pretty low number if you aren't going EB/MoM with gain mana as ES

ES nodes on the tree are big, and a surprising number of builds can automate use of grim feast to get and keep very high, 12-15k ES without too much trouble

[wanton drift]

Issue is Im unable to sacrifice my amulet slot for ES

[brittle rose]

thoughts on flicker strike?

[visual moat]

Hi. Is there any guide or written Witch Chaos build? It would be awesome to get some help with gem cutting

[wanton drift]

Definitely looking at this when I get back home. Running a DD Titan. Just not satisfied with survivability now

[abstract mountain]

Does Spark shotgun? do you get teh damage of multiple projectiles on teh same target?

[drifting cedar]

Yeah I started titan, then warbringer, then invoker, then went spellcasters. Invoker was eye opening for ES strength, for sure

[vocal sinew]

Hello, can i boost spirit in my necklase for example with some quiality modifier? And if so, how pls?

[brittle rose]

if i run call of brotherhood ring
and i get from the passive skill tree a skill that grants me lightning penetration, will that scale with the ring? so turn it into cold pen?

[wanton drift]

With great jewels my 10% minion small nodes became 20%, without adorned setup yet. Can only imagine the ES since Im already pathing through there

There is also a timeless jewel whicj converts strength to es scaling

[astral willow]

does raising or lowering hp of ice crystals affect their damage at all?

[drifting cedar]

I saw that jewel, haven't really looked much into it. I guess if you had 50 str or so on a regular CI build for some reason it would be worth taking.

The obvious use case is Astramentis + Howa + pillar of the caged god CI, where its probably insane

[wanton drift]

And again we are back to stat stacking

[drifting cedar]

Yeah. Its a bit of a shame lol

Str and mana stacking once again are huge dps outliers

[violet current]

Is anyone here still playing ice sorceress? Need some help figuring out which support gems work best on certain skills

[errant storm]

anyone know what runes give +2% max mana?

[drifting cedar]

Soul Core of Zalatl

https://poe2db.tw/us/Socketable this is a good rune / socketable resource

[scarlet oasis]

Quick question, what causes a skill to be empowered?

[bold pulsar]

How can I find my character on the PoE website for poe2? I need to post in build help

[drifting cedar]

Usually this means it was buffed by another skill, like a warcry. The buffing skill in question will have the word "empowers"

[scarlet oasis]

Perfect thank you

[silver warren]

Can multiple golden charms activate at the same time?

[mystic shard]

Zealots oath, that puts ur health regen(when ur at full) to energy shield and stops ur energy shield recharging.

When if you have % health regen.

Does that % then become the % of your max energy shield, not ur health regen? Does anyone know FOR SURE, not just guessing looking at the talent.

[orchid pecan]

Can endless circuit node works with shockburst rounds to have endless shock on enemy if rng is good for merc?

[honest arrow]

Does it make sense to go MoM/EB for Arsonist/SRS summoner Infernalist or do I gotta get the gold to respec my whole tree to go energy shield when I get into later maps? Currently doing fine up around T11 maps or so but I'm not juicing yet or anything

[crude zealot]

Are skeletal clerics supposed to keep reavers alive by themselves? I've got 1 reaver for tests and 2 clerics, and the poor bastard dies basically a second after his ES depletes due to degen. :|

In other words, is this supposed to happen (look at reaver hp)?

[granite dust]

I suspect that "critical strike chance" in the tree only works for spells if it is explicitely "critical strike chance for spells", is that correct?

[fresh yew]

Is the "conservative casting" node feeling impactful? Considering putting that on my amulet

[kind timber]

is max projectile distance still 150 in poe2

[last elk]

anybody got a monk lightning build which doesnt is one shottet nearly by any hit? in act 3 normal the game is unplayable

[snow sierra]

when i tested reavers for 4 reavers 1 cleric worked out kinda good, but i had very high gear/skillpoint investmet at this point

[cosmic harbor]

Is there a way to reset skill gem to lvl1?

[crude zealot]

Did you have the 3% minion life regen node allocated?

[snow sierra]

yes

[crude zealot]

And the rage consumes 1% per second? or something like that

[snow sierra]

not sure what the numbers exactly are without looking them up

[crude zealot]

still, it's weird because the reaver will normally be at full life during the fight and then suddenly his whole bar will go down

as if there was a limit or something

so they're NOT supposed to die like this?

[snow sierra]

My reaver did die sometimes but ive tested them in a t16+1 map

[crude zealot]

yeah i'm act 2 cruel lol

I'll keep him to watch how he does and we'll see if the 3% life regen node helps

[snow sierra]

ye when i tested them the first time around that they where absolutly unuseable

you need a high number of minions to counteract the lack of cleave and a good investment in minion level in gear and points to make them feel decent

[crude zealot]

yeah ideally, I know

I want to have at least one of each though lol

each type

[snow sierra]

thats sounds like a bad idea but i guess you know that^^

[crude zealot]

I've had no issues so far, but when I start juicing maps I may need to spec into some more specifically

[snow sierra]

maybe you can make it work later, im just saying its sub optimal because of the support gems limited to 1

[dawn spire]

That is incorrect. If it isn't specified, then "increased critical strike chance" works for both attacks and spells.

[granite dust]

That's great news, thank you!

[dawn spire]

If you're getting one-tapped in act 3 normal it's likely not because you're following the wrong guide. I would bet your gear is just lacking life and/or elemental resistance.

[last elk]

ah ok then ill try to increase that

[dawn spire]

Yeah, and movement speed on boots

But when you're looking at gear, I'd ignore every mod that is not life and elemental resistance (fire/cold/lightning). Whatever has more of those, equip it

[dawn spire]

Nope

[granite dust]

Does it make sense to skill as much crit chance as possible or is there a soft cap of some kind?

opportunity cost not withstanding

[dawn spire]

The cap is 100% actual crit chance

But it's very very difficult to achieve that

[snow sierra]

urg...t16 maps and still 4 link gaming

[granite dust]

I mean, that makes sense x) So basically don't worry about it

[dawn spire]

It really depends on your build. Early on, crit is much worse since you likely have low base crit and not enough gear/nodes to get your crit anywhere high enough to be relied upon.

But later on, it gets exponentially stronger with investment. A lot of poe1 builds had their trees go for non-crit damage nodes early on and then they respecced to crit at like level 80 once they got enough nodes and a good weapon to make crit worth it

[granite dust]

I'll skill damage nodes then and when I run out of those I go into crit. I'll think about respeccing if it comes to it. My plan is a Lightning based crit stormweaver

[hollow crypt]

So I’m playing frost sorc. Got myself into maps last night before bed. Definitely feeling the heat. Have myself in a decent position gear wise with shield and resistance etc. I’ve gone as far as the maxroll build can take me, what builds would people suggest to transition to next to start pushing maps. Any links would be appreciated thanks

[sleek sun]

are arsonists still the way to go for minions?

[fiery stone]

For Whispers of the Brotherhood, do I spec for cold or lighting damage on the tree?

[lean seal]

Im running Demon Form Infernalists. How do i get consitent solutio nto my mana issues?

I got a free amulet slot open for now

[rich oasis]

Spark higher dps than hexblast?

[snow walrus]

Anyone here I need help on a build titan

[hardy agate]

what's the best way to make a slam build at this point? Is supercharged slam back to being useful with tremors?

[primal relic]

Where or how can one convert fire damage into lightning?

[kind timber]

how do i see an item dps without putting it on trade

[livid hamlet]

Well it depends on what you play but it's not really that way in PoE2 anymore

spells have overall a bit higher critical chance

and crit multi is way easier to get on the top side of the tree

[dawn spire]

Yeah, true, I should have specified attack builds

[livid hamlet]

but if you're melee yeah, it's worse early

[potent swift]

What would you focus on pure fire sorc - pen, ignite, exposure, crit? Which spell to bump the most? I've seen some fireball builds thay go crazy but not sure about the passives

[livid hamlet]

Increased fire damage, crit and penetration will probably serve you best

as an active fire sorcerer getting good exposure is hard since it's coming from incinerate which you have to cast yourself

alternatively you can try using gas grenades , it will be stronger but more demanding attention wise

[neat bison]

What do you guys recommend for frost sorceress leveling, I’m liking frost nova but frozen orb and frost bomb are kind of clunky.

[livid hamlet]

i used frostbomb for single target

and fire fossilade for clear

you don't need to level with just one skill

you will be punished for that

[neat bison]

Yeah

[livid hamlet]

overall fire leveling is a bit easier than ice i feel like

but i didn't really get the whole frostbolt ice nova ice snap combo

so maybe it's strong and i just couldn't perform it mechanically

it sounds quite strong

you freeze with frostbolt ice nova and destroy with frosbolt cold snap

i just found fire fossilade + fire wall smoother and easier to play

[neat bison]

Yeah frost bolt is kind of scuffed on controller

[livid hamlet]

and then sun + ice bomb for additional single target

on chonky rares and bosses

got me all the way till i swapped to phys spells easily

[neat bison]

Trying to avoid other elements just theme wise, spammed enough flame wall on my infernalist

[livid hamlet]

in that case it's frostbolt + ice nova + cold snap

not really any other choice

[granite dust]

Also good to know, thanks

[thorny moss]

hello everyone , I'm new to poe , can someone send me some marauder builds and links for pobb

[azure badge]

I am currently leveling an ignite warrior because perfect strick feels awesome
But I see that hammer of the gods has almost double the % damage, what's the point of perfect strike if hotg exists? Or rather, can I make perfect strike better than hotg for ignite?

I just think it's cooler if I'm the one hitting them rather than summoning a hammer from the sky lol

[potent swift]

Oh, I see. Yes, Incinerate feels a bit clunky. So I should ignore the ignite and exposure nodes entirely?

[neat bison]

I’ll just have to find some supports, less duration probably makes bomb feel a lot better

[devout mural]

Is my tree bugged or something? I'm not sure why I'm unable to collect the node:

[neat bison]

Hammer falls very slowly and has a 20 second CD, it’s really nice for finishing rares/bosses off after a stun

[plain osprey]

does "increased weapon damage" mean all damage coming from the weapon i.e. including "added physical damage" as well as "adds x to x fire damage"?

[golden sluice]

For monk what is important to grab and in what order for thr first 5 or so levels

[dawn spire]

You're trying to add a main tree node to the end of a branch of weapon set 1 nodes. The skill tree path is orange, meaning it belongs to set 1

[plain osprey]

get the nodes that lead to Flow like Water

[azure badge]

Oh I see, I thought people just used it off rip, and the ignite "one shots" the boss lol

[devout mural]

Oh shit I see, thanks!

[golden sluice]

Can I get an image to see it? Please

[dawn spire]

All the mods you see on a weapon that are local to that weapon get calculated first and become the base damage. Then increases to attack damage scale off of that

[trim gull]

Hello, been playing infernalist as my second character but bit unsure on my build after completing act 3, anyone thats good to watch?

[hardy agate]

well I found a way to screenclear with warrior but it's still incredibly slow

[golden sluice]

Ok I understand

Great ability

[plain osprey]

ah i see, thank you

[astral willow]

can confirm. I did everything after act 1 as ice infernalist and act 2 was pure strugglebus. Ice doesn't start doing lots of damage until you get frost wall

[golden sluice]

Is it that top glowing node or thst big node at the center

[neat bison]

Sunder is another fun nuke alternative, guaranteed crit on armor break.

[dawn spire]

Basically the order is:

1. Local weapon mods (Incressed physical damage, added flat damage, etc)
2. Flat damage from other sources like gloves and rings
   (1 and 2 form your base damage)
3. Global increases like "increased ele damage" on your weapon, rings, etc. This also includes your skill tree.

There obviously stuff like crit and attack speed as well, but that's a bit beyond your question

It's the one next to the "alt inspect" popup@golden sluice

[robust wyvern]

What is the strongest witch build ready for lvl ~50 atm?

[neat bison]

Probably infernalist summoner

[plain osprey]

do 2. and 3. not get included in "increased weapon damage" or do they? i'm trying to play around with pillar of the caged god rn

[dawn spire]

Pillar of the caged God gives you global increases only, I think. So it would be additive with 3 and multiplicative with 2

Well, sorry

[plain osprey]

the one directly below the info box, you can see the 1st node on the left leading towards it

[dawn spire]

Your total sum of all increases (including potcg) is multiplicative with your base damage

[golden sluice]

Thank you so much. What skills should I grab in order and which should I give some tlc

[plain osprey]

i see, so added damage to attacks from a ring would also get increased by pillar of the caged god, is what i understand

[plain osprey]

that's really up to you, for now it doesn't matter too much just play around and see which ones you prefer, if you end up liking lightning abilities i would recommend you google a lightning monk build, for example

[dawn spire]

Yeah, can you post a ss of the staff? I'm kinda going off of the poe1 version in my head and I wanna be sure I'm not misleading you

[golden sluice]

I like the lightning. I'm a tad annoyed the ice and zap feel like sorcerer though. (Early early game anyways

[dawn spire]

Okay, yeah, that's a global increased mod. So added base damage is very very VERY strong since the qstaff has pretty awful base stats

[plain osprey]

yeah it's a bit lame, pretty much every class rn is "limited" to lightning or ice in terms of big damage
i'm excited for the coming classes and new abilities though

[plain osprey]

ah bet, this one's gonna be fun

[golden sluice]

Ah OK I see

I do love the merc though

Big gun energy

[dawn spire]

Its a shame it's corrupted... You could have gotten one with 2 sockets for added base damage runes

[plain osprey]

but remember, this is path of exile. you may have chosen a monk, but you can do a Bow-focused build if you want (and it can be VERY strong)

[dawn spire]

My bow chronomancer is popping the fuck off

[plain osprey]

yeah that'd be insane, maybe i'll come across one some time
it was super cheap afterall

[dawn spire]

Yeah because it was corrupted I bet 😛

[plain osprey]

yeah

[livid hamlet]

wait is pillar expensive ?

[dawn spire]

If you get one with two sockets you can corrupt it to 3 sockets if you're lucky

Idk, tbh. Ssfbtw

[plain osprey]

wait

wtf

[livid hamlet]

How the hell do you manage resists in SSF

damn

[plain osprey]

brb gonna get one that has 2 rune sockets

[dawn spire]

I didn't mean to make a message that was entire initialisms but here we are

[plain osprey]

i can actually afford one with 3 sockets

[dawn spire]

Runes and being chronomancer. Chrono is fucking stupid. Temporal rift is insane and I can't believe they gave it to us in this game

[plain osprey]

i lied

i can do some currency exchange to get some exalts though and buy a 3-socket staff

[livid hamlet]

Wait , non corrupted pillar is 1ex

but a corrupted with 3 sockets is 1div ?

what are the chances for getting a third socket on an item ?

[dawn spire]

That sounds like a flipper's dream. Unless artificer orbs are expensive

[livid hamlet]

there might be some market inefficiency that one could use

[dawn spire]

I wanna say 1/4

[grave spire]

Is there a cap for attack speed?

[dawn spire]

Nope

[grave spire]

Thank you sir!

[plain osprey]

i hate poetrading rate limit error...

[neat bison]

I just hate trading rn in general with how the market is lol

[dawn spire]

Me too (:

[neat bison]

So I made a SSF reroll

[dawn spire]

I can't see a world where I'd enjoy trading in poe2

[old shuttle]

is there anyway to see your Spell % dmg? Or are we just waiting on PoB2?

[plain osprey]

we must be looking at different things, just bought one for 8ex

[neat bison]

Yeah the site is dumb and still values a div too low

[old shuttle]

yeah its kinda like IM in osrs. You just will have a harder and longer time getting stuff that most people take for granted. Like a 50% total res boots with 30% ms and like 80+ life is good to great for standard. As SSF? thats GOT tier

[neat bison]

So you have to scroll

Or filter

[old shuttle]

nah you gotta use the site correctly

[plain osprey]

should i add "adds x to x [element] damage" or "x% increased physical damage" runes to the quarterstaff?

feel like flat is smarter

[old shuttle]

yeah that one i think is just a calculator question sadly

PoB2 soon tm

[hasty crane]

what is the current walking simulator build that has 0 minions?
corpse explosion with automated poison gas?

[plain osprey]

how do u do automatic poison gas

[old shuttle]

corpetread probs

[hasty crane]

https://poe2db.tw/us/Decompose

[short garden]

Hi, first time player here (didnt play PoE1). I'm playing Warrior and I plan to do like 2h sword (when that comes out at least), does warrior have lot of build options?

[hasty crane]

yeah, corpsewaders

[hasty crane]

there are no swords

yet

[plain osprey]

interesting, but how do u get a corpse to use it on during boss fights?
there's a helmet that ignites enemies in your vicinity, that'd go well with it i think

[hasty crane]

that's the contradiction for me currently; because that would require minion corpses

[short garden]

yeah I'm aware, I guess for now I would have to do what I want but with maces and then respec when sword come out right?

[hasty crane]

pretty much

[old shuttle]

also in maps there arent ever really bosses

[short garden]

but aside from weapon type, how flexible is warrior. for example do you have to use maces to be effective, can you use any magic or anything like that? I'm trying to think of my own build, but im not really sure what is the options

[hasty crane]

so warrior has 3 main options:
Rage and damage stacking 2x 2h wielding monster
Tanky armour shredding stun warrior
and Fire avatar

thorns build is there as well

[old shuttle]

thorns gamers in shambles

[hasty crane]

but that shreds armour so it goes into that category

[short garden]

what do you mean by fire avatar, cuz i like fire

[short garden]

and how hard do you commit if you choose one? any permanent choices? srry if im asking too much. its a bit hard to find this info

[primal relic]

Is there a lightning version of that?

[hasty crane]

no, except maybe the monk

[balmy lion]

whats the proper combo for charge blade?

[uncut jay]

Can I use this only @ lv 80 ?

is item level a restriction on what lvl character needs to be ?

[old shuttle]

Nah item level is item level iirc

Just means where it dropped. It’ll say “required level”

[worldly stone]

how much is pillar of god

[dawn spire]

There are two minor permanent choices you make during quests and the biggest permanent choice is your ascendancy class. Once you pick an ascendancy you cannot swap to the other one. You can still refund ascendancy points within it tho

[still rock]

loop charged slash and shield thrust together to build phials then add SAED for big dam

oh wrong game

[old shuttle]

MH mentioned

[junior trail]

Is Gore Spike (Blood Witch ascendancy) not working or what? My tooltips don't change at all to reflect increased crit damage

[serene minnow]

is there are reliable way to sustain energy shield as a spell caster ? using grim feast and its ok but most of the time running around with 0 energy shield

[old shuttle]

Same. No idea if visual bug or actual bug

[hasty crane]

Idk what I am cooking here but this looks like it would work. I just need access to more corpses passively.

or actively if not possible any other way

[dawn spire]

Temporal rift on chronomancer

[old shuttle]

Idk man grim feast is broken

[old shuttle]

Why the gloves? Or just for the CC

[serene minnow]

its certainly good lol

[hasty crane]

the whole build is crit
so 300% might be good damage

[old shuttle]

Hey can just avoid maps with bosses xd

[hasty crane]

kek

[short garden]

if I want a more DPS style warrior, is titan viable? cuz I dont really a very buff-based playstyle

[old shuttle]

I mean it’s set to 300%

Can probs just use actually useful gloves

[hasty crane]

maybe. like i said I am still cooking. needs more refining anyway.
but the basic idea is a monk that makes everything explode.
maybe wear helmet that ignites nearby enemies

i got that as a drop recently

[still rock]

Cant you use unearth to make corpse

[old shuttle]

Also what type of spell caster specifically? Cause I’m using Blood mage with like 2.5k life 1k es and a shield so I’m tanky atm

50% armor and block and max res is nice so my ES lasts a while

[still rock]

or does unearth only consume corpses in this game

[old shuttle]

I think unearth is a DD skill

DD corpses into minions

[still rock]

they really didnt want us to have desecrate huh

[serene minnow]

detonate dead, exploding my own minions blood mage

[old shuttle]

I mean they didn’t want us to just use our clearing skills for bosses

But then they didn’t force bosses in maps, so idk

[still rock]

yeah makes no sense to me either lol

im w ya

[old shuttle]

Yeah map bosses not existing IMO is the biggest flaw in POE 2

Not always existing*

Like bosses were the big new thing no? Why are they now optional???

[still rock]

this endgame is half baked

give it time

[old shuttle]

Imo add bosses to all maps and I’m happier. (Not my boss is ARSE for bosses. But I like bossing)

[astral willow]

almost as though it were not quite done yet. Early access you might even say

[neat bison]

The current map boss event could just be like a super boss or smth

[tropic river]

how does snapshotting work for the specialized skill tree nodes? If I have ONLY my hammer of the gods on my second weapon set, and the skill tree for my second weapon set gives 50% bleed chance and 20% increased duration of damaging ailments, will the hammer get both of these benefits if I swap right back to my first weapon set after activating hammer?

[old shuttle]

Like I’m using hex blast at like 10k dps so my boss kill time is cheeks. Got no single target really. (Though -150 chaos res is nice)

[primal relic]

So, I went tempest caller as my second as a lightning sorc. and the storm does 0 dmg. Why would that be an ascendecy? What am I missing?

[still rock]

id rather you just let us be outraged than trying this thing called "nuance" ew

grab your pitch fork with us

[old shuttle]

I mean i agree EA, but i think the map bosses thing was a choice that I just kinda dislike/disagree with.

Though not letting you respec ascendancies was also a choice they made so IDK man

[plain osprey]

anybody know what **supportgem this is

i thought it's close combat but the bright-green thing aint right

[old shuttle]

I’d guess it’s skill CD reduce no idea

Aka blink dex gem lmao

[still rock]

bro sent us some pixels

[plain osprey]

dude in the vid doesn't hover it

[old shuttle]

Yo what’s this guys build?
🟢🟢🔵🔴

[neat bison]

Uhh

[plain osprey]

that's falling thunder gemling legionnaire level 84 T7 map build

[neat bison]

Longshot I guess? @plain osprey

[plain osprey]

looks about right ngl

[still rock]

specifically a build made for t7 maps only

[old shuttle]

Lvl 84 and t7 tf

Over level much

[still rock]

bro doesnt know about map sustain

[old shuttle]

I’m 80 and doing 8s and I feel overlevelled

[fringe sail]

i want to know how can i get the affixes i want, does my chances increase the higher lvl i get or its just purely luck

[old shuttle]

Bit of both. Kinda depends on the affix you mean

[still rock]

its based on the ilvl of the gear and the affix you want

and you get higher ilvls in higher level zones

so yes basically

[old shuttle]

Mostly luck though. Can get better tiers of rolls the higher the level of the zone the gear drops

[dawn spire]

What is it supporting?

[spare quartz]

Can anyone confirm the T3 djinn will drop in early maps? I've found 3 of the Chaos trial items but no Djinn

[plain osprey]

i was just making shit up obv lol

[old shuttle]

I found a ton of tier 3 jinns

[plain osprey]

storm wave, but seems to be Long Shot

[spare quartz]

Ok. I'm level 70 still can't get 3rd ascendancy, have done 20 or so maps no luck

[dawn spire]

Makes sense I suppose

[dawn spire]

You can buy one on the trade as well

[old shuttle]

Do some tier 2’s first

[spare quartz]

Oh 😮 dang I'll do that tonight, thanks

[old shuttle]

Get some good relics. Getting to like 50% honour res will help

[fringe sail]

how can i get exactly the 5 affixes i want? wouldnt the randomization be a bit tedious

[uncut jay]

Skill speed applies to everything? Attacks, spells etc ?

[old shuttle]

Trading. And yeah crafting is kinda non existent yet

[spare quartz]

I found one single 60+ djinn and ported to town for a minute after completion, the portal closed on me. Now they wont give me another chance

[old shuttle]

Ya

[dawn spire]

All classes can use all skills and gear. You can do a melee build on any class. None of the ascendancy classes offer anything that is specific to any weapon type

[fringe sail]

how does it look like? trading a bit expensive?

[old shuttle]

Depends, what are you looking for

[torpid thunder]

I start playing Stormweaver spe Ice, Im starting cruel right not and Im not feeling it, is there something easy to transition to?

[old shuttle]

You can trade and get good gear with resistance so you stop just exploding

Poe is hard to get through to endgame without prior knowledge or trading

[dawn spire]

Lightning rod + orb of storms is nuts with barely any damage nodes. All you need is a good bow and the right supports

[torpid thunder]

gonna check it, thx

[dawn spire]

I don't think you'll find a guide for it.

Just link orb of storms to chain and persistence.

Then link lightning rod to martial tempo and basically any support that isn't scattershot.

I like to use magnified effect for clearing and concentrated effect for bosses

Or lightning infusion is decent vs both (as long as your bow doesn't have a bunch of cold/fire damage)

[icy dome]

how this does work with Tempest Bell? the skill has no inherent crit chance ...

[dawn spire]

If you have a dualstring bow, you can use overabundance on orb of storms as a third socket to make your damage go insane

[dawn spire]

If bell is an attack, it uses your weapon's crit chance. Same goes for all attacks

[old shuttle]

1.3 x 0 is 0

But idk how hell works

[icy dome]

i guess that's for "summoning" it, like, when you use it and when it hits the ground right

[dawn spire]

You'd have to show the bell tooltip for me to be sure

[icy dome]

hits that go onto it after that aren't influence by this modifier

[dawn spire]

@icy dome

[icy dome]

this is the tooltip,

[still rock]

honor res is so op

[old shuttle]

I’d say mandatory not op

[dawn spire]

Does the Shockwave tab have any useful info? I know you can't really snip it

[old shuttle]

But ye it is op af

[still rock]

so much op that it shouldve been built into the main system

still wondering if i should do ultimatum or sanctum for 4th ascend

[dawn spire]

Damn, kinda slick of GGG to give bell a 0.5s CD so you can't put hourglass on it

[rugged kraken]

the bell just somehow seems to multiply all my damage its pretty nuts

[old shuttle]

Yeah an actual Sekhemas that I’m not +10 lvls of may be hard

[old shuttle]

But also you can just equip multiple bells so idk lmao

[rugged kraken]

yah I was thinking the same thing

[dawn spire]

Can you have multiple down at once?

[old shuttle]

Yea

[rugged kraken]

you can increase the number to two right

[dawn spire]

Without overabundance?!?

[icy dome]

just that attack damage @ 184, knockback increases AoE ... yea not really

[elder osprey]

guys does this mean i need to have 200% faster recharge to make this work?

[icy dome]

so i guess this only affects the impact

[dawn spire]

I'd wager that the Shockwaves can't crit and just scale with critical hits against the bell then, yeah. And critical supports for the bell would just be for the initial hit

[icy dome]

ye, that makes it useless, just like i thought. thank you

[dawn spire]

What is the "this" when you say "make this work"?

[icy dome]

there really isn't much that makes sense when it comes to the bell, kinda sad

[dawn spire]

Persistence, overabundance, magnified effect

[old shuttle]

Nah I think they mean for crit stud

Stuff*

[dawn spire]

Yeah, but it scales with your crits already tho

[elder osprey]

it says es has 4 second delay, and the node says it need to recharfe in the past 2 sec

[rugged kraken]

I went with the increase to AOE so its bigger

[dawn spire]

No, it's saying that if your es has started to recharge in the last two seconds, you have boosted evasion

[old shuttle]

There are ways to force ES to recharge. Some support gens too I thi k

[icy dome]

overabundance is ONE more hit for 50% less duration 😅 persistence yes, but it's such a useful skill i personally want to use it for other things, but you are right in theory ...

so overabundance really is terrible

[elder osprey]

thats what i think but currently its not working so i hope someone also checking on this

[dawn spire]

-get hit (and lose es)
-wait 4 seconds (or however long it takes to recharge)
-es recharge starts
-you now have boosted evasion for two seconds

[old shuttle]

Oh another bugged node xd

[exotic lark]

Does anybody know whenever cast on gems share energy pool or does each gem have it's own energy pool

[dawn spire]

Each gem has its own

[spare quartz]

I changed all my nodes from dexterity to strength today on my poison Ranger after finding out it gives life. Good or bad idea? I can still meet Dex req's on my gear

[old shuttle]

Yeah excess to STR in general

Life is nice

[spare quartz]

Tired of getting one shot then losing a map, it's helping a bit so far

[old shuttle]

Get maxed res

[dawn spire]

As long as you have enough accuracy, mana, and meet your attr requirements, you should be fine

[spare quartz]

Oh yeah I'm working on that, game gave me a nice triple res 20% plus rare helm with life in the vendor yesterday. Threw me a bone

[old shuttle]

I have 75 all res and 50% block and 50% armor with 3k ehp + grim feast sorta thing

[elder osprey]

its clearly not working

[old shuttle]

And persistent temp chain. Great defensive

[spare quartz]

Feels like Evasion has a diminishing return not sure if it's true, but over stacking it on the skill tree doesn't seem to do much anymore. I got 1% boost from the last 15% node i took

[silk needle]

can someone help me with a build link for this staf? or should i just sell it?

[old shuttle]

Did you hover the listed number evasion?

And yeah the % may not have been enough to push the needle

[spare quartz]

I'm on console no hover

[old shuttle]

Also over stacking into just Evasion is a lot. If you can put some invest into Block or Armor it’ll help a ton

[old shuttle]

F

[spare quartz]

Cool I'll look into getting some armor

[old shuttle]

Asstramentis gemling idk xd

[regal elbow]

Hi guys. How do i control the distance of my grenades? Sometimes i throw them behind the pack and its useless..ps5 btw

[gusty bone]

What items increases max block besides the anvil amulet?

[old shuttle]

Shields

Do they have max block?

[gusty bone]

Anything that can increase the max block, it is 75% by default, I want to increase is as much as possible without using svalinn

[gusty elk]

how to explode toxic growth ?

[balmy lion]

Is lingering illusion good?

[spare quartz]

Shoot Gas Cloud at Toxic Growth

[chrome maple]

should i swap to mom and ci if i have 2k es 1k life 1k mana?

[spare quartz]

Or, have Poison On Hit and i think it can explode itself

[rapid seal]

can someone recommend me good frost build for sorc( i know lightning is better now )

[rugged kraken]

well it depends if your spirit is worth the mobs going after something else enstead of you right

[still rock]

Yeah just poisoning it in general will make it boom boom

(toxic growth)

[proud edge]

with acrobatics - Ranger Deadeye. How can i be tankier? really tired of getting one shot by shit mobs

[icy dome]

you need like double the life at least imo, or energy shield

[old shuttle]

Get some armor and life and maybe ES

What spirit skills you using?

[hasty meadow]

does this work with arrow speed?

[old shuttle]

Grimfeast and the Evasion ES one are great defensive

[icy dome]

some mechanics WILL force you into a narrow area, like rituals, and you won't be able to avoid everything with range so you need some more tankyness

[old shuttle]

Probs

[icy dome]

you can look into wind dancer+ghost shroud if you don't have it, for the latter you need a lot more evasion+ES tho

[lucid ore]

Evasion and life low

[pine elm]

the only way? Playing monk invoker with deadeye.

invoker has ascendency that give you % damage reduction base on your evasion.

i know someone who had 19k evasion and end up with something like 85% evasion and 80% DR

by just having invoker

[proud edge]

ill have to look up what that means

Ive got acrobatics, which drops my evasion rating by 70%

but lets me evade all attacks

[old shuttle]

But yeah get armor. Idk why people ignore armor. It’s so useful

Like I have 50% armor and block. It’s lovely. So funny when the roll twat runs into me. So many bonk SFXs

[rugged kraken]

well somne classes dont have the luxery of armor and need to stack mana/energy shield and chaos res right

[grave spire]

Any advice on best nose to install on amulet for frost monk?

[old shuttle]

I’m a blood mage and am using a shield and also armor belt exists

[balmy lion]

WHATS A GOOD EVASION %? Im dying too easy on monl XD

[old shuttle]

Also hybrid armor + es/evasion armor is good

[old shuttle]

SS defence page?

[balmy lion]

wat

[old shuttle]

Cause mono stacking 1 defence ain’t the best

Screenshot your defences

[still rock]

Grim Feast is seriously insane, idk why youd ever put points into recharge rate lol

aside from bossing ig but like we said earlier

bossing barely a thing

[old shuttle]

Yeah grim feast is better than ever single blood mage ascension I have

[chrome maple]

.

[still rock]

I was a nonbeliever until recently
