[undone mortar]

1 second. Hold alt and read the tooltip.

[still rock]

it needs to be centered

[undone mortar]

There’s a reason some words are underlined.

[still rock]

the feng shui is off

the vibes are fucked

[mellow shale]

Thanks, missed that. For the record, it's 0.5 seconds according to the tooltip now that I checked it.

[undone mortar]

Oh they might’ve changed it yeah

Or maybe I’m thinking of a different rage effect

[sonic blade]

Is there anyone who is versed in the minion build have a second? I can link my tree but I kinda dont know where to go after I get Gravedigger

[still rock]

actually itd be really funny if it added the third socket to a random location on the item png instead of a fixed one

fits the theme

[real kiln]

is there any way to make freezing bosses easier?

[still rock]

freeze buildup

[real kiln]

i will put my extra passive points into that

anything else?

[arctic pond]

Does bloodmage spell life leech work on dots?

[undone mortar]

Leech only works on hits

[real kiln]

is "hits" considered different than hits with spells?

[undone mortar]

A hit is a hit.

Nothing to do with attacks or spells distinction

[lucid apex]

Is there no pob for poe2? I couldn't find anything online or in the search for the discord

[real kiln]

ok good

[static plinth]

Not yet

[rugged mirage]

wats more important on ranger on bow +Projectile Arrow or +Projectile Skills

[lucid apex]

dang okay, thanks

[real kiln]

on the POE trading website, can i filter a stat to not show up?

such as

[wary canopy]

Can each spark projectile only hit one enemy? Why do I see them seemingly passing through giant boss mobs? I see pierce recomended for them and it makes no sense to me.

[real kiln]

actually figured it out, didnt know there were additional options like this

[dark wharf]

considered hits as long its not DoT

[charred wing]

does herald of ice proc trigger dynamism node?

[regal turtle]

do spells use accuracy

[wet kernel]

Anyone here tri-stacking?

[brave canopy]

guys help, what is the item that changes each stat's inherent bonus?

for example I remember seeing it changed int from giving you mana, to giving you energy shield ... I can't remember the item though

might be a poe1 item, idk

[tropic nest]

this helm would boost minions by 50% and reduce mine by 25, or would it boost my party by 50 and my minions by 25?

[brave canopy]

nvm, it's heroic tragedy timeless jewel. it just doesn't say on the jewel itself

and STR increases the energy shield, not INT

[hidden blaze]

does charged staff works with storm wave? not sure if im seeing any charged staff projectiles

[elder locust]

Could somebody tell me which build now is best performing in lategame after campaign maps? For witch Infernalist

[spice reef]

Tempest flurry has an AOE flag on poe2db, does that mean magnified support gem extends the range by 40% or is this just in reference to the final strike?

[slate holly]

Guys. Is monk a good class to pick for first time playing? I don't want to play warrior but want to melee still.

Idk if this is the right place to ask

[spare quartz]

Dude

They need to create a distinction between Poe 1 and 2

I've been trying to buy items for Poe1 for the last few days apparently. Websites look exactly the same. And making the mistake between Poe 1 and 2 in the discord chats is too easy

[mystic shard]

u guys say resist caps are 90%, cant go to 100%?

[spare quartz]

Forget trying to google Poe 2 information with poe 1 out and all the same skill names

[sage arrow]

Any good builds using shockchain arrow (ranger)?

[brave canopy]

Yes, you will love it. Just be sure to get a good quarterstaff :))

[slate holly]

Okay thanks for the tip

[fallen solstice]

If youre familiar with PoE1 mechanics, then you should be fine. Monk is less tanky, focuses on lightning and crit, or spirit stacking and aura stacking. Not awful feeling, but can be complicated.

I would suggest mercenary as a starter since it doesnt scale off of gear too hard and itll give you a chance to farm for +1 level gear as you go.

Marauders not too bad if you go for strength stacking dual wield 2h

[slate holly]

What is a good staff?

[slate holly]

I have not played poe1 only diablo mostly

[brave canopy]

Ideally, good base damage with flat damage, %dmg, attack speed, + to skills you use

I just started my monk but my friend has been tearing through the campaign on his

[slate holly]

Okay. Nice

[mystic shard]

does avatar of fire make dmg YOU take fire dmg

aswell?

or?

[drifting cedar]

no

only outgoing damage

[drifting cedar]

the 25% reduced damage would not apply to your minions, only the 50% increased

[fallen solstice]

Ight, best bet is mercenary. Super easy to understand, a lil busted, easy progression, and he's an aussie. If thats not your style, sorceress is busted. Or just fuck it and screw around with monk

[marsh cargo]

So currently I’m playing RS with the arsonists as a witch. I was wondering if there are any good aoe spells I could get to help for when I get overwhelmed. I have the offerings and the curse too. But what other spell would help?

[rugged kraken]

Nah but there is gear that converts psy to fire dmg and I think some ascendancy points

[placid glacier]

How to find a good Sorc build (or build in general)?? There's so many guides and even for the same build... they have sometimes pretty different Passive Trees...

[mystic shard]

that gear sounds interesting thank u

[sage quartz]

How does the duration of ignite affect the overall damage? Does the overall damage stay the same, just spread over a different amount of time?

[rugged kraken]

I think its like 45% but its still huge

[slate holly]

Okay. Imma try the monk 😄

[forest wind]

can someone please explain
dous it mean +1 for each totem type or +1 in general

[gray lantern]

Slam infernalist, all pact nodes + conversion node, max fire res passives, most fire nodes on tree, some Regen nodes. Play perfect strike, volcanic fissure big phys+fire damage mace for big ignites? Viable? Meme? Dead as soon as you take the phys as chaos ascendancey? Pyromantic pact actually do anything for melee?

[still rock]

oh? i thought it was just avatar of fire for phys conversion

would be good news if not

[wild mantle]

i use arc and i have 14 skillpoints i dont know what is best to skill now

[still rock]

what in tarnation

[hoary ingot]

Does this reduce max hp?

[still rock]

no it just reserves 25% of it so

your max life is still the same value for other purposes

[proven rapids]

if only reap and exsanguinate were out, phy spell would be so much better

[still rock]

it would explicitly say "unreserved life" if otherwise

[fallen solstice]

+1 to maximum number of all totems allowed

[forest wind]

thx for replying and also my build 😦

[still rock]

they seem to be weapon skills

[fallen solstice]

Yes, if you have 1000hp, youll then have 750hp and 10 spirit

[proven rapids]

just datamined but not in the game yet

sadly

[still rock]

ya

reap sounds good for any crit builds

tbh

[fallen solstice]

Nvm my b, it does still use your original max as value

[hoary ingot]

Oh well

[oak jetty]

So after some testing Shackles of the wretched do indeed scale off curse effect.

[fallen solstice]

Youll have 750 ehp, but like papa juice said, your numbers will use the 1000 for calculations

[oak jetty]

-96% lightning resistance (doryani's prototype 😄 ), and jewels can get 5% effect per jewel.....this is going to be wild.

[hoary ingot]

Good shit then 💀💀

[fallen solstice]

Phys spell could be fun with volatile dead

[hoary ingot]

In trying to make a juicy army with as much as spirit

Shame skeleton scepters are overpriced as hell

[still rock]

how effective are the clerics at ressing

i have an idea

i want to try

[proven rapids]

so do you have a ton of damage with doryani's proto

[hoary ingot]

Honest i dont even need them

My revive is like 4 seconds

And my minions dont die at all

[still rock]

has anybody tried scaling minion life with brutes and instability

[oak jetty]

Hope so 😄 I'm going to stack another like 25-30% effect from jewels and another 10% from the tree, then see how it goes for stormmage skeletons

[analog gale]

hey chat

do you think an earthbound or a lifesprig would be a better leveling unique for my witch?

[wild mantle]

whats best to skill for now as a arc user whit 14 slillpoints

[hoary ingot]

In using 4 reavers right now and using their skill, with the supp gem that gives minions 4 seconds before they die when they drain hp its perfectly timed when they get back

[oak jetty]

It seems to have worked for Ghazzy using ventors rings for negative resists, so I don't see why it shouldn't work....way easier to gear too.

[hoary ingot]

I can keep buffed tanks all day long

[still rock]

+3 sprig

[marsh cargo]

Would frost nova be effective at all for an RS/arsonist witch? Kinda like a panic button if things get too close (like in a breach)

[analog gale]

lifesprig seems like it could also be very helpful for staying alive

[still rock]

its +3 spell that's all you need to know

[still rock]

but yea that too

[hoary ingot]

This is so dumb lmao

[analog gale]

why do i keep having to log into the tradesite over and over again

[still rock]

same, someone mustve ate all their cookies

[analog gale]

ggg should make affixes able to have decimal places

[unique sparrow]

How could i optimize my build?

lvl 50 btw

[analog gale]

so that a vaal orb could give you a lifesprig with Leeches 1.15% of maximum Life when you Cast a Spell

blood mage lets all damage contribute to bleed i think

oh wait no its just elemental

so your chaos damage doesnt

[still rock]

for what purpose

[analog gale]

@still rock

affixes that are fixed to be at like 1%

[calm forge]

are dots scaled by spell damage, or only the damage type of the source like fire for ignite, chaos for chaos dot etc?

[analog gale]

for all i know it could work like that under the hood

but if you cant sort by it then it doesnt matter

https://poe2db.tw/us/Bleeding#Acronym

theres all the stuff poe2db has about bleeding

[wraith thicket]

anyone have a infernalist DD archmage build guide ?

[still rock]

nah it rounds down

everything rounds against you in poe if theres cases of decimals having an effect

[mint citrus]

if I have a ring with % inc to lightning damage, is that the same as having a passive node with the same increase?

[dark wharf]

does quarterstaff uses fire?

[fervent barn]

I feel like I do no damage to the act 2 final boss with my warrior. Any tips for builds? My weapon does like 85-117 physical damage is that the problem or what am I missing? I can only dodge roll for so long ya know?

[dark wharf]

any quarterstaff fire build

[rugged kraken]

I think I was misunderstood I was talking about this

[still rock]

dangit

[vital plume]

any real reason to use vitality supp gem over cannibalism?

[rugged kraken]

yah sorry for the misinformation

[still rock]

theyve gotten rid of all of it lol

np

[torpid thunder]

what kind of stats on my armor pieces do I need as a Witchhunter? Armor and ES? ES and Evasion? Everything? What's the priority?

[rugged kraken]

They did tone down the power of the whole game.. but I think its a good thing in the long run. Im still seeing people blow up the entire screen in one attack end game so it doesnt seem much different anyways

[tawny imp]

what are the key passives/skills for the armor break warrior builds?

[still rock]

poe players never change

we'll find a way to break everything

[scarlet oasis]

Is there a way to set giant blood to only be active on bosses and also swap weapons? I want my add build to have shield and my boss build to have just the 2h mace as i don't have enough strength to use giants blood

[mystic shard]

ugh It hink

i finally got my end game

mega build

after hearing how dangerous all this is

and bending my mind to absolute insanity to get it

|
Thx for all ur help guys, I finally found it.

[mint citrus]

anyone know?

[tidal copper]

No no keystones with weapon sets you'll just have to wait

[tidal copper]

Yes

[left fern]

I want to play witch and want to use the hellhound, but that's the only minion I want to use. Would such a build be viable?

[slate holly]

Guys i just got like 300 gold things because i bought the beta game what should i use them on?

[serene lotus]

whats a good armor to evasion ratio??

[tidal copper]

It's usually recommend to buy stash tabs in the sales that happen every other week?
They allow trading more easily, and they can organise your stash much better
Lily Poe in YouTube made a short video about different options I recommend
If you don't care about trading you can also buy cosmetics

[idle ridge]

Currency + premiums for trading

[tidal copper]

You have to search the Fibonacci scale and meticulously adjust your defenses on that rate
There is a note in wiki about this promise

[slate holly]

I mean my inv is small as fck and cosmetics would be nice

This game is super overwhelming damn never have played poe1 maybe once in 2018

xD

[tidal copper]

The game really needs a better tutorial ...

[slate holly]

Is there a tutorial?

I have not even seen one

Or played it

[mystic shard]

What is the necklace that gives 20% max hp called.

And the rings that give flat 200 hp?

perfected blood or something?

[slate holly]

And i tought that diablo 4 was hard this is like 2000 times harder

Damn

[serene minnow]

does vulnerability curse has any effect on fully broken enemies ?

[mint citrus]

which mod is better? currently in cruel and clueless what would be better for me assuming its around the same tier

[mystic shard]

I know right? Jesus

[still rock]

diablo 4 itemisation be like here have % more damage if youre dealing damage

on every piece of gear

[slate holly]

True

[still rock]

depends on the actual values and the source of the mods

[mint citrus]

what do you mean by source?

[still rock]

where you are getting the modifier from

[young perch]

Infernalist is the ascendancy for a minions Witch, right?

[mint citrus]

a ring? why does that matter

[peak pond]

Hi guys, just started recently. I was wondering if there is a viable 1 skill class/build? Not sure if I will get bash on for this.

[still rock]

because youd evaluate the value of an affix based on what type of thing its on because youre giving up space for potential other affixes that could be better and not all affixee roll on every item type

[mint citrus]

youre looking for something without much button pressing? i think witch with minions might be good? never tried it but thats what I got from watching some builds

[hushed umbra]

Get as much life as you can then convert it to spirit, rest is up to you.

[peak pond]

Thank you

[calm orchid]

What exactly does quality on wand/staff do?

[fading silo]

can i roll more mov speed on a boot with prefixed increased mov speed %

[still rock]

adds quality to the skill it gives you

[calm orchid]

Oh ew

Sigil of power I guess

[still rock]

yeah hold alt when hover on the base skill

to see what the quality do

[storm wagon]

so if im archer and i have enough stats for skills i just go strenght for dmg? or is dex dmg for an archer

or none of them make dmg higher and its just for req

[still rock]

hover over each attribute

probably highly depends on the dmg scaling but i assume theyll have a use if you work them into a build, ive worked chaos bolt into my build rather well

problem with most of them so far is that they dont really do anything special compared to skills that cost mana

aside from the utility ones like sigil or mana drain etc

[opaque sparrow]

Is there not a window that shows my crit chance?

[haughty grail]

Playing Witch SRS. Classic, boring. I know.

But I have a question. I only have 6 out of the 8 Ascendancy points available. Which nodes should I prioritize with those 6? Hellhounds into Life=Spirit or Life=Spirit+Life=ES or even Life=ES+Hellhounds?

[still rock]

should be on the skills detailed window

[viral glade]

Can someone help me understand how this is displaying? The bow that fires 2 arrows I would think would be more dps but I don’t get how it calculates this is the dps shown per arrow?

[vestal herald]

anyone know if raging spirits gets its damage from char attack or its own minion attack?

[karmic lion]

how much does it cost to respec right when u unlock it? misallocated some points ;_;

[jagged oak]

How does Mind Over Matter interact with nodes like Damage From Mana? is the Damage From Mana node just useless in this case?

[opaque sparrow]

Level dependant

[karmic lion]

right so i'll be like level 7-10 probably

[opaque sparrow]

This seems like a really good way to never have mana 🙃

[jagged oak]

I use Eldritch Battery and Mind Over Matter to use my mana as health and it works fine.

[tranquil steeple]

If you deal alot of base lightning damage the increase is prob better, if you have a lot of %increased lightning value already the flat value does alot too

if you get two pieces of equipment with it

[pine elm]

once u got MoM, the damage before life doesn't matter.

[tranquil steeple]

you can look at ur dps and check

[pine elm]

However, you can get 100% damage before life

instead of using MoM

but it's very expensive

[jagged oak]

Ok so it's literally just useless in that case? Fair enough.

[half owl]

whats the evasion cap ?

[tranquil steeple]

Whats the combo, MoM eldritch battery and the chaos immunity one right?

[jagged oak]

Yeah

[mystic shard]

so u can upgrade the levels of all items right?

[tranquil steeple]

is it worth doing that on any build except witch/sorc

[mystic shard]

if u find a low level legendary ui can make it much higher yes?

[tranquil steeple]

MoM is very out of the way

[pine elm]

yes

[tranquil steeple]

what other builds?

Maybe like monk, have good ES

Its strong regardless but its just hard to access all of it on other classes

[jagged oak]

It seems that way but there is two other groups of nodes right next to MoM that make it work better so if you're targetting Mana regen/recoup its all over there anyway

[pine elm]

correct

[mystic shard]

can item levels be upgraded?

is it possible?

like a levle 10 legendary be made like levbel 100?

[pine elm]

Monk's invoker has a very strong acsendacy where u can convert energy shield into spirit

[mystic shard]

level level*

[pine elm]

i'm doing that build right now

5 cast on shocks

if i get a really good 1h spectre

i can get 8 cast on shock

using lightning warp + ball lightning

= gaurantee shock

[tranquil steeple]

Im doing a build with the bottom ascendancy path, so I dont have the points to do it unless I give up crit chance

which I cant

maybe another build

[pine elm]

the melee crit one?

[devout ermine]

I did MoM Acolyte monk and so far it's been the best defense. I spent over 1m of gold on respeccing and trying different things

[tranquil steeple]

yea

[pine elm]

that ok is ok

i wish there are more gears or way

to get more crit chance

[tranquil steeple]

Theres a perfect quarterstaff for it in delirium but obv its super endgame

its like 20% base crit chance almost

[pine elm]

Ooo

[tranquil steeple]

with 100% ele damage

[pine elm]

OH

then u can use that amulet

that give you 100% crit chance

but u can't deal extra crit damage

that will give you a ton of crit chance

[mortal swift]

I'm trying to get to the dmg number in tooltip to understand how to scale dmg in excel. Am I missing something other than crit*(spell+chaos)? I seem to be about 3% off on my chaos number and 25% off on my "extra lightning" number. This makes me think that I am not seeing a "spell dmg %" somewhere. Any ideas?

[tranquil steeple]

really good for meta skills to

[tranquil steeple]

i didnt even know that was a thing lol what is it

it'll let me drop crit damage nodes and put them elsewhere

[mortal swift]

crit chance with no crit damage isnt that good

[tranquil steeple]

yea but im not using crit for the damage I use it to proc a spell

[devout ermine]

Cast on Critical?

[tranquil steeple]

the monk ascendancy node and cast on critical both

well cast on shock is better for me because I consume shock instantly but it can be used interchangeably

[analog gale]

i just realised that the nodes of blood mage form a heart

[remote path]

what node make your hp blue and what does it do

[tranquil steeple]

its 100% increased which isnt worth losing that much damage until I get a better weapon sadly

[mortal swift]

in their plans to form a heart they make us weaker >.>

[tranquil steeple]

but if/when I get a better staff it could be worse

[analog gale]

heart

[karmic lion]

is there a place to look at a filtered view of all of the weapon skills?

[mortal swift]

[analog gale]

kitty

[native burrow]

The Witch Ascendencies don't make any sense, why does the blood ascendency have a node that adds elemental damage to bleeding magnitude but not chaos?

That's the whole point of Witch being separate to sorcerer

[mortal swift]

look at kitty answer question

[analog gale]

naur

just look at kitty

[mystic shard]

feh

[mortal swift]

possibly because its possible to scale physical and elemental together but chaos with the rest is harder to do

[analog gale]

they might also be trying to limit how strong it is

considering theres a few things that can give you a lot of damage as chaos

[mortal swift]

chaos bleed isnt very good, its just poison with extra steps

[tranquil steeple]

he hasnt seen the witch hunter bleed bow build

[mystic shard]

the infernalist is good, the blood mage is wonky, the grasping wounds is awesome, maybe crimson power but that could be buffed, and life remants.

The rest needs full out changed as it sucks.

[native burrow]

Then change the node to something else, of all the classes Witch Ascendencies feel the least in line with it's arche type

[analog gale]

and

[mystic shard]

I also need to damn know if uc an upgrade items or are these lowbie legendarie suseless

[analog gale]

you cant upgrade them

but some can still be useful in endgame but its only a few

[mystic shard]

i was told u can, or upgrade potions at least

damnit

[tranquil steeple]

low legendaries are good for levelling up

uniques*

[native burrow]

I didn't like Infernalist, shape shifting was cool but it removes your Sceptre which is bye bye to your minions

[mystic shard]

can u upgrade rares

[tranquil steeple]

yea

[analog gale]

like if theres a really good unique weapon but it has bad damage

[tranquil steeple]

u can

[analog gale]

you can use items that give flat damage to attacks

[native burrow]

The class has a problem with the ascendencies not being on theme

[mystic shard]

oh so u CAN upgrade gear, just not legenadries

[tranquil steeple]

there are a lot of ways to change rares

[mystic shard]

ok good to know thx

[analog gale]

kinda but also not really

[mystic shard]

?

[analog gale]

you can roll for new affixes on gear

but you cant turn it into a better base item

[mystic shard]

I mean bring it up to my level

hmmm

[analog gale]

no you cant do that

[tranquil steeple]

oh bo

[mystic shard]

ok

[tranquil steeple]

no

u cant do that

[analog gale]

if your on trade you can just trade for new gear

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2

[mortal swift]

infernalist would be more of a cast witch in demon form, ofc you could also spec +1 spirit per life and get more minions too

[analog gale]

like ive got my deadeye using a rampart raptor

which is really strong except its damage sucks

so im using a pair of rare gloves with three added damage affixes

and rings with added damage

and a wake of destruction unique boot to add 1-50 lightning damage

you could eventually get something like hand of wisdom and action to get damage per 10 int

[native burrow]

Yeah but a whole ascendancy being just get more spirit and a doggy is a little underwhelming. And I don't mean necessarily underwhelming in power but in the "cool factor' for lack of a better word

The demon form was fucking cool as shit, but it goes counter to what a which is all about

[mortal swift]

doggy+spirit is a ton more minions for a minion based witch, demon form with infinite stacking is cool late game

[native burrow]

And the other nodes are all about fire damage

[analog gale]

i was hoping the demon form would scale off of how many demonflame stacks you have

[mortal swift]

where? Its about taking fire dmg not doing

[mortal swift]

it does ...

[analog gale]

so the longer you stay in it the more damage you take but the more damage you do

it doesnt

only the damage you take scales off of it

[dull tundra]

anyone has a ancestral totem build guide?

[mortal swift]

buddy, it does

[analog gale]

its a flat buff

oh wait

you get increased damage

[analog gale]

i was thinking the cast speed should scale with it too

scaling gem level with demonflame would probably be too strong

[mortal swift]

already infernalist can skip every dmg node in passive tree using demon form now you want them to skip cast speed nodes too?

[native burrow]

Pyramantic pact and after, if you want to be a chaos + minion build all Infernalist does is give you more spirit plus the hound

[mortal swift]

and also impossible, you need too much mana

[native burrow]

If demon form didn't unequip you Sceptre I think it would be really cool

[mortal swift]

so only seething body. nothing else is fire dmg

[oak summit]

Is it just me or is merc very squishy. 70% armor, resis (except fire 71) all on 75% and Evasion on 67%. Still oneshot lot of times in T15 Maps

[thick thunder]

Why is spark so popular for arch mage? It's not like it's flat added

[mortal swift]

it'd be too strong, and also no one would use it for minions, there's so many other things for the spirit that are too good. grim feast, blasphemy, cannibalism, cast on stuff etc, imagine having 500 spirit for free

[cobalt niche]

should I use a greater jeweler orb on a skill if it is corrupted?

[nimble sun]

Guys, thr node arcane bloosom is bugged rn, right? Its giving me like 15% mana regen insted of mana recovery, does anyone it is or mot bugged?

[mortal swift]

you cant

[ornate garnet]

I just had this widowhail drop. are there any good builds that use this?

[storm willow]

this thing have a guaranteed aftershock? or what

[chrome swan]

Adamant Recovery, does this make the 12% increase Armour + ES nodes around it to essentially 24% ES 12% Armour?

[tulip elk]

hey, is there a meta to the atlas skills?

[balmy briar]

Does anyone know why my detonate dead doesn't cause freeze buildup, even tho I converted my fire damage to cold with Blueflame Bracers ?

[hardy creek]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/c8ahs0hi

What is my main area I am lacking? The things I am uncertain about are the early nodes in the passive tree, should I still have those or respec? Is my gear ok? If not what should I upgrade?

[hardy creek]

go right and take 20% increased quantity waystones

[slim pilot]

are they missing alot of chaos dot support gems or am i just not seeing them ?

[young meteor]

Does anyone know if totems are still bugged?

[analog gale]

infernal flame

tho i guess only if you can cast stuff that gains you more infernal flame than your max infernal flame

like if you could fill it multiple times in one cast

tho you might die

but i think it would be neat if it let you

[mortal swift]

its 15% life loss, cant sustain at high demonform stacks

[analog gale]

ice shards would be good

probably

idk if archmage works with it because it has no mana cost

ice shards benefits a lot from flame wall i think

becuase im pretty sure spells have 100% damage effectiveness and it can shotgun

[mystic shard]

can any support be used on killing palm

or something

to let it teleport you even if u dont click an enemy

[onyx ether]

can anyone confirm if widowhail+quiver lvl projectiles scalling is intended for concoctions skills? kinda wanna try pf for next character

[alpine stag]

Is there a way to make solar orbs pulse faster for the purpose of summoning raging spirits faster?

[rugged kraken]

cuz people are pre ramping it

You can start a boss fight with like 20 to 50 sparks out before it even begins

[silver trench]

How is merc grenade build

[spring temple]

good and dumb but you have to roll a lot

[silver trench]

Thanks Is there a merc poison build?

[fervent barn]

any tips for a struggling warrior on the act 2 final boss?? don't feel like my build is cutting it, feels like I'm wacking him with a sheet of paper so with his relentless aoe attacks in phase 2 i cant do enough damage

[true viper]

wtf is this

[static plinth]

Unique helmet

Lil bit of everything

[blazing shore]

What would y’all say is the recommended level to switch from levelling to late game build just don’t wanna do it too early lul

[cunning agate]

Max i can do is 1 ex

[true viper]

I’ll give you it for that

[dusk plank]

When you Ignite.
Lets say I ignite with Solar Orb for 1,000 Damage.
But then Fireball hits an ingite for 32,000 damage.
Does the Fireball take prio over the orb in terms of damage?
Or do both get applied?

[true viper]

Whenever you can start doing late game stuff so probably about level 50 to 60 I’d say

[blazing shore]

Okie just wondered cause I just got to Act 1 in Cruel and I’m Level 46 so wanted to check

[acoustic lava]

What are the thoughts on heartstopper?

[still rock]

the new headhunter

[static plinth]

Pretty bad unless you get a ton of reduced ailment duration on you

Actually ig stuff like poison only lasts 2 seconds by default now so you only really need 50% reduced

[burnt gust]

Does the passive node "Eternal Youth" lead to the ES not recharging by itself? only with potions?

[still rock]

correct

[steel bear]

Hey guys, im doing a Chaos build, and I would love ur help choosing a wand hahaha
one is lv2 and the other lv3, but the lv2 has +29% damage, does the lv3 wand "cover" that +29 damage?

[still rock]

No the level of the skill doesnt affect the stats you gain from the wand for other skills

only the chaos bolt skill itself

as for if the wand covers the dmg of specifically the chaos bolt or not doesnt matter too much because you dont really use chaos bolt as a main damaging ability

[burnt gust]

thanks 🙂

[last patio]

how do melee classes like mace users deal with elemental/spell damage? seeing as armour only defends against physical damage?

[static plinth]

Elemental Resists

Everyone gets elemental resists for elemental damage

Normally the issue is dealing with phys

Also spells can deal phys but its protected against by armour normally

Ideally you'd get something on top of resists, but thats the baseline

[gusty barn]

25% attack speed or 30% more damage as fire, which is better

[spring temple]

depends on how much attack speed you already have

is the attack speed on a weapon or just a random mod?

[gusty barn]

it's on a minion

1.03

[spring temple]

uhhhhhhh probably attack speed

[gusty barn]

alright thx I'll try that first

picking between 2 gems for my 5th gem slot

on arsonists

[dawn arch]

ive got a pretty good one right now

[tranquil quail]

whats a good node to choose for instilling (anoint) an amulet for ice shot deadeye?

[hexed vessel]

Whats the interaction between overflow and recoup?

[static plinth]

Recoup only goes up to your normal max

[hexed vessel]

thank you

does thorns crit?

[analog gale]

any idea if its possible to reduce ember fusilades duration enough to make it feel good?

[static plinth]

Not by default, there is a unique that grants it a crit chance

[hexed vessel]

thanks again!

[lapis flax]

yep theres 2 supports, i cant remember the names exactly. one is splitshot that makes 3 projectiles at a time.
theres another one which gives you up to 2 charges over time and when you use it it duplicates the effects.
you can make it so you just tap the button and all 7 fire balls are made instantly. its pretty good.
if you cant find what i mean i can send a screenshot when im home

[proud vapor]

what the best minion build rn?

[cursive maple]

What should I be looking for gem wise for a witchhunter?

[analog gale]

thats not what i was asking

i know that scattershot and unleash exist

what im asking is do you think i can reduce the duration enough to make it feel good

i think theres only one reduced duration cluster on the tree

[obtuse ridge]

Can someone help me with my merc build I just started this class and don’t know what to do

[lapis flax]

?? you tap the button then use all your other skills?
its probs the design of the ability to not let you spam it

[tidal jacinth]

diamond

[alpine pecan]

Yeah idk I think it feels just fine with unleash as long as you don't get any INCREASE duration on the tree. Self casting it with decreased duration sounds like it would always suck.

[obtuse ridge]

?

[analog gale]

i mean once you have three support gem slots you could use the reduced duration support too

[alpine pecan]

yeah but that's also not adding more damage

so you're slotting reduced duration to cast it more often for less damage

there's also the unleash buildup time but its pretty fast

[strong burrow]

Am I able to change my ascendancy?

[alpine pecan]

no

[strong burrow]

Damn

That sucks

[ashen shoal]

I mostly run alch+vaal, what do you guys think?

[rain dust]

Can you make avatar of fire a weapon set thing so I can use a different skill with my 2nd weapon without losing on %25 damage?

[last patio]

there's NO WAY at all high life recoup can work with CI right? Like a way to refill ES instead of life?

[sterile stone]

theres a way to convert it?

[ashen shoal]

No, but Stormweaver has 40% in tree, which is bad just like all recoup in this game. 8 seconds is a joke

(believe me I tried with 81% mana recoup MoM EB CI)

[storm willow]

if i have "regenerate 1% of life per second", that means i can regen all my life in 100 seconds? for example, if i have 2000 hp, it would be 20 life per second?

[finite lantern]

I saw a video from a stormweaver build and his lifebar was blue instead of red. is that couse of the passive mind over madder?

[last patio]

yeah I got life recoup down to 3.5 seconds, it's trash

[ashen shoal]

no, CI (Chaos Innoculation)

[finite lantern]

aight, ty

[sterile stone]

3.5 recoup is good, its just not meant for the sole recovery method

its 4 seconds in poe 1

[ashen shoal]

this is cope, no way its worth the investment to get it down so much

I thought recoup would be good because of lack of defensive layers

now I just stack ES with faster recharge and tank anything instead

[sterile stone]

absolutely not, its a layer of defense and very good vs lots of hits

[last patio]

yeah but I'm having the exact same experience as just using life flask. it doesn't mitigate damage and it takes a lot of nodes and resources to get substantial

[sterile stone]

it is very bad if you rely soley on that

[last patio]

like Idc about the damage I can heal thru, I care abou 1 shots, 80-100 life recoup/3.5s does nothing at all for that

[thin basin]

does perfect striker/hammer god works when u have 2 2h with giants blood i swear for some reason i do less damage

[ashen shoal]

well if it works for you its fine, but I dont see it work for my CI stormweaver

[last patio]

I was trying to use high ER + ghost dance to constantly replenish ES to give life recoup time to regen thru damage taken to function as a form of mitigation

didn't work

that or I didn't go hard enough on ES

[ashen shoal]

I recharge 3k ES/second anyway

[sterile stone]

in general poe 2 just have bad recovery and we pretty just relies on life flask

i think recoup is pretty niche for certain builds

not for general purposes

it needs ramps and the amount are really small with singular/sparse hits

[tribal raft]

Are bows that fire an additional arrow worth it giving up some damage or do you can’t straight count the dmg 2x because u shoot 2 arrows instead of one?

[ashen shoal]

yeah very true, but when would this happen where it matters? I blast maps and only am in danger against pinnacle combo's

[last patio]

are there any new interesting builds that are looking meta?

[sterile stone]

could be bcs lack content that wouldve synergies with it, in poe 1 we have PB progen, HoT builds, fulcrum, bloodnotch etc, for now i dont think theres alot of things that would benefit from it

[last patio]

I'm kinda put out on being creative and not getting anywhere haha

I kinda hope monk gets some more wind skills.

A wind only based theme could be neat

Was thinking about converting my chronomancer into a meme slow build but then I'd be all utility and no clear speed

[ashen shoal]

petrified blood is good with it, not?

8 seconds is just very conservative, not a good spot right now

[sterile stone]

yeah the 8 second base is pretty bad

[ashen shoal]

even a 13k ES pool does nothing like I hoped it would :D

[last patio]

I can't imagine ever trying a recoup build without chrono

[sterile stone]

if its chrono you prolly can stack es start so its 2 seconds and press time freeze to stop eevrything and regen your ES

[ashen shoal]

..but then you can also just have it recharge in that time...?

https://tenor.com/view/copium-cat-gif-27161395

[sterile stone]

oh yes i mean recharge not regen

[ashen shoal]

I think recoup is bugged also btw, recovery rate does NOT increase recoup unlike regen according to the character sheet

[last patio]

recoup feels really cool till you blink out of existence and realize that flask could handle all the situations where recoup is proving useful

[wise bay]

Is this the right channel to ask for advice on my passive tree build and setup?

[ashen shoal]

if you play sparks I can help :P

[wise bay]

Frostfire sorc right now. Just wondering if I'm missing anything obvious I should be grabbing for it since still new to PoE

[sterile stone]

actually, when can i start swticthing to ES/MoM/EB on spark archmage? im still in act 3

and where do i get all of those ES

[ashen shoal]

I wouldnt bother until maps, personally I went MoM in A4 and CI in A6 but I dont recommend it

[sterile stone]

so just life until maps

[ashen shoal]

show details

[ashen shoal]

mostly the amulet to be honest lol

cant play without it

[thin basin]

this and the one for bleed, i saw somewhere that the damage gain isnt that great since youre reducing the hit damage and in poe2 the ignite/bleed also scales with the hit, is that true?

[wise bay]

Is there a way to share the passive tree besides a screencap? Also lemme write out details

[sterile stone]

i kinda want to do MoM early so i can use archmage and lifetap the spark and use life recharge unique

[ashen shoal]

I dont know, screen share in server if you want

[ashen shoal]

the belt? thats what I did so I could get passive "life" regen. it was okay but you need to understand you are going to get mana screwed when taking damage sometimes

can be very awkward

[wise bay]

76 stormweaver, using frost bomb as main clear with echo + 40% area + area passives. For rares/stuff hitting the fan I use hypothermia into frost walls into wildshard/scattershot firebll with frostbombs beneth. I also have ball lightning/lightning warp to get out when I'm trapped or cornered or to execute things.

[sterile stone]

im just unsure on how to sustain the mana, sure theres flask but since MoM is 50% less the regen gonna be a slog

[ashen shoal]

I would recommend ghostwrithe if you wanna go CI if you dont have a good rare body

[ashen shoal]

its very trivial with the amulet

[astral willow]

I've taken every single mana regen node I can lay my hands on with witch and I still end up chugging potions with MoM

[storm willow]

which one is the best stat for life regen? "Regenerate #% of life per second", "# Life regeneration per second" or "#% Increased life regeneration rate"??

[sterile stone]

this one?

[wise bay]

My friend got 100% damage recouped as mana and he seemed to be doing pretty good with it

[ashen shoal]

you are doing something very wrong, you dont need it all.
are you scaling your Arcane Surge? have everlasting gaze?

[pearl sluice]

which ascendancy for spin to win on ranger. 😂

[ashen shoal]

yes, dont bother playing without it

[sterile stone]

i know about the recoup mana belt, but still in acts rn just wondering which part i can brute force without feeling too terrible

[astral willow]

I skipped arcane surge but I can switch some nodes around to mess with it. I really really really want an everlasting gaze but no drop so far and it's min 1 div on trade as far as I can tell.

[ashen shoal]

sorry I dont know cold sorc specifically. do you follow a guide?

did you check you have 24 passives and resistances from campaign?

[last patio]

maybe I could try a crossbow/mace hybrid chronomancer

[ashen shoal]

you wont be able to play without it, its just how it is

and not having arcane surge is really crazy, I dont know what you expect

[last patio]

idk if crossbow can benefit at all from chronomancer skills tho

[pearl sluice]

tell me some

i am a merc main so

[wise bay]

I have everything yea, and nah I haven't looked up a guide just kinda messed around with it as I leveled thus why I'm inquiring if there's some super powerful itneraction I'm unaware of. Like I only recently learned of MoM even existing when my friend told me about it lmao

[pearl sluice]

i can tell 😂

[ashen shoal]

do you use Inspiration on main skill at least? it stops the bleeding a bunch

[last patio]

1 skill freezes time for 3 seconds, 1 lets you go back 6 seconds in time to where you were with what es/hp/mana you had, and another resets cooldowns

[ashen shoal]

personally i dont even use MoM on my archmage, its not mandatory if you cant sustain it

[astral willow]

there's my tree

[last patio]

pretty much the only build I've seen is hammer of the gods chronomancer mace build

[wise bay]

Like I'm unsure if this is even worth grabbing despite always having frost exposure up. Does this one trigger twice if I have double shock?

[pearl sluice]

ofc that would work . as long ss it doesnt say specific stuff then ye ofc it works

[peak dawn]

Is the 20% increased ES from Iron Rune worth it? Or should you just slot resistances and worry about other stats elsewhere?

[last patio]

well yeah, i'm just wondering what synergies there could be with crossbow to make it actually worthwhile

[ashen shoal]

no, each type

[last patio]

like mace has high CD skills

[ashen shoal]

why do you go through crit nodes? cant you better just run controlled destruction for now?

[wise bay]

Prob still worth it if I trigger three of them right? Shock, freeze, chill. Just don't know how exactly math is calculated to know what its exponential with and what its additive with t.t

[ashen shoal]

depends is the only answer. personally I put ES on my body and helm, rest has resistances or % mana once I can afford the res loss

[last patio]

oh cluster grenade has a 10s cooldown..hmm

could work with that

[ashen shoal]

15% inc dmg is nothing

[peak dawn]

"Once you can afford the res loss" tells me the answer is yes, it's worth it as long as you're capped on res already

But yeah, the highest ES pieces first make sense

[ashen shoal]

personally Im overcapped for ele weakness maps (-15)

[last patio]

is emergency reload a big deal? like would I get huge payoff by resetting that cd instantly?

this actually looks like it could be good

I haven't heard of anyone doing chrono crossbow tho

[storm willow]

which one is the best stat for life regen? "Regenerate #% of life per second", "# Life regeneration per second" or "#% Increased life regeneration rate"??

[sonic blade]

How do you deal with the downside of Heartbound loop?

[peak dawn]

That's fair, I was before messing up my build but regearing so hopefully will be again

[ashen shoal]

you dont want to get +70% more arcane surge?

[wise bay]

I thought so, wasn't sure D:

[peak dawn]

Here's my tree, similar build I'm sure

[wise bay]

Shock magnitude seems like it'd be a better stat with the double shock right?

[ashen shoal]

take All Natural if you are not res capped, its good value I think

[ashen shoal]

..are you double shock and winds?

[ashen shoal]

not taking Ether Flow is crazy I think. big mistake over Open Mind..

nvm, your build is not done, you have 133 ES and 800 mana :P

[astral willow]

if I'm reading this right Arcane surge is only an extra 30% regen. even with both upgrade nodes in passives. Doesn't seem that impactful so I skipped it for now

[peak dawn]

I've debated on it for a while, thought about going for Invested Synergies instead as through most of my DPS I'm standing still but while dodging... I'm obviously dodging

[last patio]

work is one thing, but a fantastic synergy is another, it's hard to make chrono's utility synergize with clear speed. I just saw a lot of crossbow skills have high CD but idk how strong it would be to get a lot of resets vs just using an actual crossbow class

[ashen shoal]

you are not reading it right unless you have 0 mana

[peak dawn]

Arcane Surge is cast speed + regen but you get this in ascendancy tree

[astral willow]

oh I totally missed that node

[pearl sluice]

cooldowns isnt that big of an issue if you as merc swotch between stuff tho. so like i barely notice cooldown

even with leveling

[ashen shoal]

arcane surge + cluster = 34% MORE regen, not to mention the Force of Will value

[pearl sluice]

since you mostely switch around stuff. gas oil flash explosive gre. explosive sho and again

so its not that big of a deal so i wouldnt much rec it for chrono tho

[ashen shoal]

...???

[last patio]

yeah, only reason chronomancer would be useful is if getting those really high CD skills reset frequently made you able to do more DPS than legionaire/witch hunter

[astral willow]

ohh this is a sorc upgrade. I'm running infernalist

[peak dawn]

wdym? ???

Me stand inside Orb Of Storms, Behind Firewall Holding Right Click for Spark, I have to be INSIDE of the small ass aoe, so standing still is ideal if possible

[pearl sluice]

which high cd skills ?

[wise bay]

Just inch back and forth while casting it

[ashen shoal]

Start using it and you will see how stupid it really is, you are going to ruin your mapping experience

[pearl sluice]

we as merc dont have very high dps because we like to stun shi with our flash grenades.

[peak dawn]

Oh also this, I have all my gear off lmao

I was seeing what res I needed, going to buy new gear xd

[sterile stone]

is it just me or its just better to take Penetration than exposure and curse bcs you need to apply them

curse is very annoying to use and idk how to consistently shock

[ashen shoal]

its different and they work together

I use all 3, personally I dont want to press Orb of Storms so I just put the crit trigger in there to apply Exposure for me

[sterile stone]

what im seeing we can get like 80% pen from tree, and curse reduce res by around 40+ and exposure by 30+ for now, so thats -70%, pen cant go bellow 0% while exp & curse can

[peak dawn]

Curse is super easy to apply if you just get a little bit of "Increased Area Of Effect Of Curses" on a Jewel, my curse aoe is nearly 3-4x bigger than it was before, it's amazing

[ashen shoal]

its actually much more than that

[sterile stone]

pen cant go bellow 0 so idk why you wanna use both

[ashen shoal]

first pen is applied, the others put them negative

[sterile stone]

eh?

pen doesnt modify enemies resistance, curse reduce monster res to lets say 10%, then pen only works on that 10%

[ashen shoal]

my exposure is (20+20)*(1+0,25+0,3)=62%

my curse is -69%

(nice)

[sterile stone]

again, if curse and exp, reduce monster resist to 10%, then whats the role of pen if you have more than 10% pen

[pearl sluice]

so im looking trough all ascensions and their skills. and i wanna make a full on juggernaut with a minigun. i know weird. but its something i havent seen before. but for now i mostely see titan as main option. any other ideas ?

[stray parrot]

Am i misunderstanding how Weapon Master and Specialisation points are supposed to work? i was expecting 20 and 4 skill points respectively but got none

[sterile stone]

pen is not applied 1st, bcs its on your hit while monster already affected by curse and exposure, before you hit them

[rocky pilot]

Has anyone here tried Firestorm? even every flame based build i find on youtube still isn't using firestorm. is it really that ass? lmao

[tranquil steeple]

For the node that sets max health to 1, are you considered low life or high life?

high life constantly right?

[ashen shoal]

sorry, you are right

with the others, pen is effectively useless

[sterile stone]

yeah the origin of my question is, applying curse and exposure kinda annoying rn maybe its btter to just have built it 80% pen but then it takes too much passive tree

[ashen shoal]

personally I dont have curse and exposure applied normally, so pen does a little work vs non-bosses

[gray ferry]

yes always full life 1/1

you're either full life or dead

[sterile stone]

rn i have to use exposure on warp bcs its guaranteed shocked ground

[ashen shoal]

its wasted I think, map bosses have 75% max Ive read

[sterile stone]

could have mods that inc monster res

[ashen shoal]

I just auto apply exposure from Elemental Storm, and curse bosses for the above numbers, works like magic

[sterile stone]

i just dont know what consistent way to shock to apply the expsure

[ashen shoal]

I shred everything except +4 pinnacle bosses

[sterile stone]

bcs rn still lv 44

[wheat heath]

anyone played shockwave/sunder warbringer totems? is the build OK or trash?

[woven arrow]

i have a SILLY QUESTION GUYS, i'm new
i'm trying an electrocute build but my shockburst rounds aren't applying electrocute, even though i have kitoko's gloves. why would that be?

[sterile stone]

does it have guaranteed shock or its just good at shocking

[ashen shoal]

conduction support is +100% shock chance, overcharge for extra magnitude, and controlled for huge dmg multplier without downside

also considerate casting is bugged and works on it, but I dont use it

[spare quartz]

I have a quiver with 11-22 physical damage, 1-40 lightning damage, 12% attack speed showing higher Dps for my poison Ranger than a 10% increased attack speed with 42% increased bow skill damage does that sound right? The added damage and 2% attack speed beats 42% bow skill damage? I don't think i get much from the lightning damage

[sterile stone]

ball lightning said to be good for shocking but it doesnt do shit

[woven arrow]

anyone? 🥹

[last patio]

yeah crossbow has a lot of potential for chronomancer

[spare quartz]

Maybe bow skill damage doesnt show up on dps calculation?

[last patio]

have crossbow in offhand and mace

hammer of the gods and then freeze time to stack a lot of crossbow damage with resets

[analog gale]

anybody tried out roaring staff?

huh it grants extra seals to your next unleashed spell

[woven arrow]

why aren't the attacks of shockburst applying the electrocute through kitoko?

[sterile stone]

100% less Electrocution buildup this is what i read from poedb

bith proj and pulse says cannot shock and have 100% less electro buildup, CANT always takes priority and 100% less means 0

i never played this but thats what im getting from the gem description

[woven arrow]

oh damn youre right, why couldnt it say so in the game tooltip t-t

[pearl sluice]

which acension is based on chaos dmg i thought witch ?

[sterile stone]

huh youre right it doesnt says anything ingame

[last patio]

does timefreeze work on bosses?

i haven't tested

[woven arrow]

is electrocute buildup supposed to be this slow? it takes me like a minute of shooting with galvanized shard into a boss to get him electrocuted for one volley of shockburst rounds

[last patio]

but yeah Wolf, almost all crossbow skills have a CD, chronomancer was made for crossbow lol

funny how no mage skills have cd

yet all of chronomancer's nodes are mostly cd related

[fair dust]

does anyone know if stormcaller arrow increases its shock chance as you upgrade them?

[last patio]

or to assist CD stuff

[mossy prism]

so i play kripps life stack minion infernalist. i can comfortably run t15 maps but as soon as there is an ingame mechanic like ritual, essence thing or the unfortunate boss hit, i just die. can someone help me improve my defenses? or how to optimize it? can't be only getting same items with more life on it

[astral willow]

both frost bomb and frost wall work on CDs

[last patio]

yeah but extremely briefly

[sterile stone]

well i dont think the games wants you to easily perma stun lock bosses

[last patio]

whereas crossbow has a whole lot of 5s cooldown skills and one 45sec cd skill

and chronomancer has a 33% chance to not consume a CD, plus the cd reset

[sterile stone]

at least not without substantial investment

[woven arrow]

fair, but arent the shockburst rounds super useless then? im follownig some mobalytics guide centered around them (supposed to melt bosses) but it deals so little damage for me

[sterile stone]

that idk i never played it, it could be shit some skills are just not good, but if someone making a build for it theres prolly a way to make it work

maybe you just need more damage, so it builds up faster

or a specific skills that really good at applying electrocution

[woven arrow]

hmm

do you know off the top of your head when lv13 skill gems start spawning? its 52 right

[sterile stone]

cant remember

[small anvil]

Might be a few levels higher I'm guessing

[analog gale]

party where everyone leeches

[drowsy fable]

How do I know if Barrage will work on a skill? It seems that it doesn't work on Rain of Arrows

[dapper marlin]

Having an arguement with my friend and I would like some help. Is poison considered chaos damage?

[astral willow]

yes

[astral badger]

im thinking fire res for sure, but what else?

[astral willow]

how is eye of winter?

[analog gale]

oh wait

this could also be good for minions maybe

probably not

[last patio]

what are crossbow's best bossing skills?

[analog gale]

i saw a build using shockburst

[last patio]

making a chronomancer hammer of the gods + crossbow build

[analog gale]

but it only does good damage against shocked bosses

[last patio]

going all in on manipulating CDs

ah ok

[astral badger]

anyone got advice?

[sterile stone]

is ball light really bad or is it just me

literal zdps

[rugged kraken]

So stun threshold will help me not get interupted when im trying to charge up my big melee attack right

[last patio]

wow I'm not seeing shit for endurance charges

literally the ONLY gem that makes use of endurance charges is infernal cry

[elder pollen]

Does anyone know where i can find a list of delerium notables that I can add to amulets? I swear that it can add some not on the skill tree

[opaque sparrow]

Hey so why can't I summon any minions?

The game seems to think i have 0 spirit? 🙃

[sullen scarab]

Add Suport gem maybe ?

Was the problem for me last time

[opaque sparrow]

No i figured it out

I managed to swap weapon sets somehow

[rancid cipher]

For the purposes of recoup, does damage that reduces my mana instead of health still count towards "damage taken"? As an example, if I'm hit for 40 damage, but 10% of that 40 damage is taken from my mana, will it still count my damage taken as 40 when calculating recoup?

[tranquil steeple]

what support gems usually rocked on curses for blasphemy and for archmage

[tender harbor]

Ok i know we were talking about the chaos innoculation MoM chaos damage build while but then realized if I did this as a blood mage it just doubles my mana cost of everything and I would just kill myself but do you think it’s feasible that I get enough mana that with the unique mana flask I could use so much mana that the effect would just absolutely nuke everything cause of double mana cost? , not sure if its possible to get that much mana but I could use so much damn mana so fast, just not sure how much the maximum mana I could get is also could this effect possibly crit?

[tranquil steeple]

archmage just the normal spirit ones? Its just a buff

[hearty oracle]

How to get 600+ str as warbringer

[tranquil steeple]

is this not literally just a must have on any mana stacking build?

does it have any downsides wtf

[dusk vale]

Is this the channel I can ask questions in or do I need to make a separate thread in poe build help?

[tranquil steeple]

oh

25 percent to you

just saw that

[tender harbor]

No but with chaos innoculation

[tranquil steeple]

oh wait

your right

[tender harbor]

I’m immune to chaos

[tranquil steeple]

wtf

im trying to make a CI monk build with all the normal things work

elemental expression and charged staff are both spells so archmage buffs them

[analog gale]

i wish i had a way to get the leech nodes on the warrior area of the tree as a blood mage

[dusk vale]

Guess I'll just go for it.Noob here with a few questions that will make or break my build. 1) does cast on ignite only gain energy on newly ignited enemies or does each time you refresh it with say a steady stream of incinerate count? 2) does demon form for infernalist take 0.5% of max hp per stack, or current hp, or max unreserved hp (I'm hoping I can using the hp reservation skill points to save room on -max hp uniques) 3) does ingenuity belt multiply all passives, or just the positive ones. Ty for your time!

[tranquil steeple]

For 1 I am uncertain, but an alternative is (If you ignite enough) use elemental discharge and consume it and then just reapply it

thats what I do

but you might want the ignite to stay in that case im not sure

extending ignite probably isnt a new ignite though but I havent tried

[dusk vale]

My alternative is I can possibly get ignite duration to -90% if the belt applies to rings

Err if it applies to negatives I mean

[spice turtle]

Hey guys, question as a monk, I use both The Solid mask and polcirkeln ring which has been working fine for me ATM in lower to mid level maps, but I was just thinking if the ring is even doing much since my lightning is turning to cold and fire to lightning, does the ring boost that dmg from the lightning converted to cold or is it just a wasted stat

[tranquil steeple]

you could always check the damage numbers in the skills screen with g

some skills wont show but some will

[fleet flower]

will this belt's "increased life recovery from flasks" also buff the flasks "grants % of life recovery to minions" stat???

[crimson shale]

um is there a chart that shows exactly where the passive stat bonuses will be? For instance... the Spellblade node will increase spell damage by 32% and also give +10 dex.

I need more dex/int 😦

[tranquil steeple]

Does anyone know how to see what creates runic inscriptions?

[dusk vale]

2 more questions 1) can drain ailments stack if it keeps consuming ailments or if it consumed multiple on hit? 2) can anyone point me into a proper damage multiplier guide. I just want to know what is additive and what is multiplicative. Like is 50% elemental and 50% fire = 75% for fire dmg or 100%. And even more so I'm curious if spell damage is additive or multiplicative with those. Ty!

[winged topaz]

how do you refund attribute points in the tree?

instead of just changing which attribute you want

[dusk vale]

Talk to hooded guy and refund passive. Then just left or right click, forget which

I think right click

[tranquil steeple]

For multipliers, Increased all add on top of eachother I think, so its not 50% then 50% its 100% increased, but then "More" is a seperate multiplier so its typically better

but the exact calculations arent that straightforward

its probably somewhere here or on reddit

[dusk vale]

Ah dang so if I have the demon form at max stacks for like 3600% spell dmg or whatever then going for any increased modifiers of anything is probably a waste?

[tranquil steeple]

more damage is always good tbh so i dont think so but going out of your way to get it is probably not the best. I think like different increased do multiply together though, like increased fire damage and "enemies take x% increased damage" would stack as if it was seperate

[spring atlas]

What dictates how stat rolls work? For example i can have two same exact weapons, same level and they both get +X amount added as phys damage. But one has like 1-20 and the other has 40-75. What dictates that difference?

[dusk vale]

Hmm ok. I'm doing a chaos incinerate build so ima look for more chaos dmg taken ty

[tranquil steeple]

different base weapons?

thats the only thing I could think of

[spring atlas]

no, same weapon

[tranquil steeple]

send images of them

[valid palm]

Greetings, gentlemen. So, according to this node, attacking frozen enemies would ignore their elemental resistances. This generally renders Cold Penetration useless at this point. However, what about Cold Exposure? As far as I understand, it affects the enemy resistance, not your damage, meaning it won't send the enemy into negative resistances?

[spring atlas]

I dont have any, but im looking online on the trade list

[tranquil steeple]

the same weapons also have "advanced" and "Expert" so look at the level req too

[spring atlas]

let me see if i can get an example

[sullen dagger]

are the ignites from hellhound and infernal legion actual ignites or are they more like persistent burning

[tranquil steeple]

I believe that one in particular ignores negative too, if you look at the invoker node it states all "non-negative" resistances but the one in the image doesnt

[sullen dagger]

same question for flame wall

[tranquil steeple]

obv it might just not state it but key word differences usually mean they are different

im not certain though

you could ask people in your classes build help channel #1308715058716610580

[valid palm]

Hm, that's also an important thing too.

[tranquil steeple]

they would know better

[valid palm]

But I was also wondering about the order things apply at.

Like, if I am to ignore the resistances, would then cold exposure be able to send them into negative.

Like, ON TOP of that.

I believe that would be a bit too OP, though.

But I just wanted to make sure.

[spring atlas]

Like this. Both same weapon, both have cold damge. But one has a waaaay higher cold damage range. and that one is even a lower lvl

[tranquil steeple]

you can but like I said if you had that node frozen enemies effectively have 0 resistance and that wont be changed so its kind of useless.

In regards to the application cold exposure goes first then I believe its probably penetration then the 0 elemental res

if 0 elemental res came first penetration would be too strong

[tranquil steeple]

their cold damage is different

[valid palm]

Yes, that's what I thought too. But it would be funny if it worked like that, xd.

[tranquil steeple]

one adds 31-38

[valid palm]

Well, in this case I don't need it.

[tranquil steeple]

the other adds 7-12

[atomic halo]

look at the explicits

the explicit modifiers can add to the item's damage range

but the base damage range with no modifiers is always the same for the given base

[spring atlas]

lol yes, but why? What dictates that? Is it just pure RNG?

[valid palm]

Because I can achieve 82% Cold Exposure even on non-frozen enemies. And afaik even bosses don't have as much cold rez, so I should be able to even send them into slight (Or not so slight) negative.

[tranquil steeple]

the stats under the main block of text are all randomized suffixes and prefixes with 7 tiers

[atomic halo]

if you move your eyes a little lower and read the item's modifiers they might provide a hint

[tranquil steeple]

Yea but I dont think he knows its random thats what he was asking

if you look to the left of them

theres r2 r3 r4 etc

thats the tier

[spring atlas]

I see that theres R7 next to the high one, but is that just random?

[tranquil steeple]

yea there are 3 suffix slots and 3 prefix slots and there are like 10+ of each of those and each of those have 7 tiers

https://poe2db.tw/us/Modifiers here if you go to a particular weapon it tells you waht they are

then if you click on it it tells you the tiers

[spring atlas]

Gotcha. Seems like the crafting is more indepth than i thought. Appreciate it!

[tranquil steeple]

yea theres alot but rn its mostly rng

in future there will be more agency like the first game

but there are alot of items that you can use to alter items

different orbs

[sullen dagger]

can someone tell me if any of the following stack:
flame wall DoT
infernal legion
hellhound
regular ignites

[tranquil steeple]

things that buff the next orb used

[spring atlas]

Does the "expert" stuff have better odds of rolling higher teir stats than advanced?

[tranquil steeple]

not certain, I think its just better base stats

they are better regardless though so you should always upgrade if you can

[valid palm]

Speaking of negative resistances. How much cold res do bosses generally have? As in, what's considered weak (red), neutral (white) and resistant (yellow)? On top of that, if I were to send the boss into let's say 30% negative cold res, does that mean that ALL of my cold damage will be increased by 30% compared to the boss having 0% cold res?

[tranquil steeple]

the database website actually has all monster resistances I think so you could always check

[valid palm]

Oh, thanks!

[tranquil steeple]

its usually not absurdly high though

[valid palm]

What about the second part of the question tho?

[tranquil steeple]

no clue I havent touched negative res 😭

[spring atlas]

Thank you!

[tranquil steeple]

np

[valid palm]

Got it, I'll go ask on the build help channel then.

[tranquil steeple]

yea I haven't been able to experiment too much my build needs all the points i can get

[obtuse owl]

can I overwrite anoint with another anoint?

[fast cloud]

I've using giants blood slam build, but i noticed my dps according to the skills tab is better when I only use one weapon. Giants blood no good for leap slam, etc?

Theres no advanced or expert jewelry right?

[tranquil steeple]

is this giving a combined -40 fire res?

wondering how well this would work with some kind of fire infused hammer of the gods on chronomancer

[keen knot]

guys for lighting rod ranger, is lighting and phys damage a must or do the other elements work as well?

[last patio]

oh it's the fire exposure itself that causes the -res, so no it doesn't stack :/

[sterile stone]

is 36% extra damage is better than like 60% spell dmg bcs extra gives flat base

[fervent barn]

Is stampede worth building into early or are there better options?

does minon pact only effect the projectile hit from essence drain and not the damage over time ?

I dont know how this build works

[elfin abyss]

Anyone have any ideas or builds for a full Ice sorceress? I can't seem to find much to make it work besides fireballs converted to cold, but that kills the server and I usually die while it catches up.

Frostbolts just don't do much damage and cold snap has such a tiny aoe, it feels like you need to find some way to spam comet or just use non-ice skills.

[last patio]

anyone awake that's tried chronomancer with crossbow?

I need to make sure I'm not about to make a huge mistake

[peak dawn]

Anyone know the best Passive to instill for Spark Sorc? Or got a few good choices I can check out? The only reasonable ones I see are these unless I'm missing something

I do see other good choices but they're close enough to the tree where I think I'd rather just actually spec into them so they don't make much sense instlling imo

[sage tulip]

Hello I was wondering if anyone could let me know what would be the best aoe spell of each element. I plan on doing a lightning mercenary but have other elements connected that goes of cast on crit so that I’m just doing a lot of different element damage types.

[random sonnet]

Does converting phys to fire, count as prevented?

[bleak forge]

How much DPS on Quarterstaff should I looking for for Endgame map? (T13-15)

Physical 550 DPS and up?

[atomic halo]

no

[random sonnet]

what does then? just armour? or does like, block count

[atomic halo]

https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Divine_Shield

assuming it still applies

[hallow flax]

Any clearer description on how this works if I'm on a Merc with Evasion / Armor pieces? I think if I'm reading it correctly it will only replace my Armor stat if evasion is higher, but evasion will still stay the same.

[random sonnet]

Ok, secondary question related to that i guess, Since armour works worse at higher values, would it work better after you convert? or does it only take the base hit for armour scaling?

aka, you prevented more because your armor is more effective via smaller hit

[atomic halo]

well if you converted the taken as armour would give more prevention for a smaller hit

[random sonnet]

yeah, just wasnt sure if it counted the phys dmg vs armour before the conversion or after

[atomic halo]

ignore the conversion

you're just taking % less phys

[random sonnet]

correct

[atomic halo]

the fire doesnt factor in the calculation

[random sonnet]

but armour is less effective % wise vs a larger hit

is converting half, considered taking a smaller phys hit

[atomic halo]

yeah so it probably maths out to less recoup

but im not completely sure

[random sonnet]

hmm

guess ill grab it and see if it feels useless then

converting 48% phys to fire atm

and only have 35% tooltip armour

[sterile stone]

i wonder why anyone hasnt made any whisper/call of the brotherhood build

cold snap seems to have really good base damage

does minon pact only effect the projectile hit from essence drain and not the damage over time ?

ok so does the strongest ignite take over? Like if you have ignite on something and then you drop hammer of the gods with fire infusion or whatever, will you be stuck with the weaker ignite?

does anyone know if grenades use a buttload of mana? theorycrafting a build

[pearl sluice]

i dunno but when you find out plz dm me and let me know

[white timber]

He recoup phys miltigation damage, there is node on tree, my guess

[pearl sluice]

mana usage very much depends on skill levels, it's easily manageable unless you have a lot of + skill levels

any Pathfinders available atm that can help me out with some gearing help

[last patio]

assuming you use the highest level you can then I guess

this build is gonna take me a month to work out

[lament elk]

is there any tree planner that has large/med/small jewel radius?

[last patio]

wish I could find a pre-existing chrono crossbow build

[pearl sluice]

youll need a higher max mana pool / more mana regen to make it manageable

[last patio]

ok, because I'm going to be resetting cooldowns, as well as instantly reloading and resetting THAT cooldown, so it'll basically be machine gun grenades + hammer of the gods. SO I imagine I'll need tons

[magic stag]

guys I'm at level 90 and still using a level 65 weapon.
is this damn hard to get a great weapon?

[white timber]

No, armour miltigates phys damage from hits, since he capped, it miltigamtes alot, that where recovery is coming from. Its kinda bait moment, since white monsters doesnt deal alot of damage, and armor effectiveness drastically drops towards more noticable hits

[pearl sluice]

yes

[last patio]

I just hope this is realistic, crossbow is the only weapon that has any significant number of CDs that synergize with half of chrono acendencies. I'd have to think they intended it to be used by chrono

[pearl sluice]

i used a lvl 8 weapon till lvl 70

on minion build

[magic stag]

that unique weapon one?
cool

[pearl sluice]

nope was just a +1 all minion skills, +damage, +attack speed scepter with some extra spirit

on minion build scepter is just a stat stick

i used the common cheap 50 spirit shield with it

[elder osprey]

a question for poison specialists:
i have now the possibility to get 1 skill to 5 support-skills.
and i think between gas-arrow and toxic growth. like 60/40 for gas-arrow, because i use it more often

i'm kinda worried this build won't work well because I can't reach grenade fuse nodes

get the xophs blood neck with the amulet node

another 20% inc max life on minions

though flat life may be better hmmm
