2┃build-planning

[wet mango]

Yep, that's + (vs increased or more)

Nah, read gas nade carefully

"burning or detonators"

[last patio]

hrm ok ty

[wet mango]

Conversion changed in poe2 yes

[wheat elk]

I want something over the top. Between Snipe, Flameblast and Plasma Blast, which is the most extreme skill? Feel free to chime in any others :D

[tranquil steeple]

how do you buff it with your ES

what should you get

[crisp star]

at this point it indeed is the better option. dunno where else to look for it though. are there any jewels or corrupts that give flat minion life?

[wet mango]

All conversion happens before modifiers now

So your ES is just mana

So scale mana

[tranquil steeple]

so you just want flat ES then?

just from armour and stuff

[old shuttle]

so its not like poe 1 where it goes "weapon, scale, convert, scale"

[tranquil steeple]

so as an example storm wave uses 80% of your phys damage as lightning damage, that 80% will only scale with lightning damaga and any %phys damage does nothing for it?

but %phys will affect the remaining 20%

[old shuttle]

yep

[tranquil steeple]

ok

[wet mango]

Not how it works in poe1 either

(but close enough for majority of case I g)

[old shuttle]

clearly over simplifying

but yeah double dipping isnt nearly as prevalent

[crisp star]

can we wear double scepters?

or it's really only wand/hammer + scepter atm?

[wild stirrup]

is this worth building a new charaxter around? it seems really sick

[wet mango]

Double dipping doesn't exist anymore

[wild stirrup]

i also have some strength uniques that seem cool to build around but building a tanky melee guy does... not seem super fun rn

[fervent barn]

is stampede a good thing to build into in act 3 or is it more of an endgame skill?

[last patio]

hrmmm, could crit chance be a good build for hammer of the gods?

go full gamba with 33% chance to reset cooldowns along with crit chance on hammer? LOL

honestly yeah that sounds like a lot of fun, hit the the jackpot and get 5x hammers off and all 5 crit

[lament elk]

does anyone know a way to see how big large jewel radius is

[tidal jetty]

If you have a weapon and your skills are based on that weapon can you multiplicatively boost it by first increasing attack damage and then increasing lightning damage that comes from it?

Or does it add everything up
Increased atk + increased lightning and mutliply once?

[lament elk]

increases % dmg are all additive

[frosty fox]

is this sellable ?

[last patio]

If i'm running a gas grenade crossbow build with hammer of the gods (chronomancer), do I want to invest very heavily in elemental/fire damage or strictly in attack damage?

[tidal jetty]

From the bonuses that all get add up.

For classes that use a weapon for skills you are still double dipping from base weapon dps and skill gem level though right?

Sorc main weapon does not matter at all, only the modifiers on it for % elemental and +skill level

[wet mango]

What

[tidal jetty]

For example whats the benefit of running a 2 handed weapon like a staff when you are losing 6 affixes from off hand

[wet mango]

Attacks use your weapon damage as a base, so local incr damage happens first yes

But general incr dmg all happens together

[wet mango]

The magnitudes of mods is (generally) higher. Also, the implicit skill I guess?

[tidal jetty]

Yes and thats why phys dmg for monk is better even when going all elemental, you have runes to specifically boost phys dmg that will be base for all your other damage. Then you boost your preferred dmg type with lets say lightning modifiers

[narrow coyote]

Can someone help me with Fixing my build? I'm playing Strom weaver Sorc with Spark. I completed campaign and dying always.

[tidal jetty]

The implicit does not matter because you have a second weapon set. And in my experience the bonuses are not that much higher that it would be worth losing 6 affixes on off habd

A shield or a focus can be a huge boost

Monk is stuck with quarterstaff and warrior can use 2 handed in 1 hand and still use a shield. But sorc imo should go wand/focus or wand/shield

[wet mango]

Well it depends on the size but for late game yeah % phys is better than flat ele

It if the % phys is small the higher flat ele can outweigh it

[crisp star]

do we have any tool that can calc estimated deeps like PoB back in poe 1?

cause atm we i know we only have tree and gear planners like maxrolls but no calcs

[wet mango]

Build it and they will come

[analog frigate]

dumb question, does my chaos damage witch NEED to have the wand with chaos bolt or can she use any that buffs chaos

[last patio]

do you need evasion for CI build?

or can you comfortably go full energy shield?

[fickle thistle]

How much Ele pen is necessary?

[latent sinew]

Can someone explain to me how gas arrow works exactly? It has a tooltip for the projectile, the gas, and the explosion. I'm trying to build around poison. Does the gas aoe do an area dot effect and also apply poison based on the projectile? I ask because the gas tooltip does not scale with poison magnitude, but I'm not sure which tooltip estimates the applied poison

[spring atlas]

I'm working on putting together Fubgun's ranger build. He usually reccomends to socket with the %increase in phys but this doesnt have any good added phys damage, i think the % phys bonus wont go that far. Would it be better to add added cold damage sockets instead?

[wet mango]

There is no area dot effect. It just poisons them

Show your cloud tab, it should have a poison number no?

[real kite]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBVkDJZJetk&t=23s

[wet mango]

Once you quality it up the iron runes should still be more

[pearl sluice]

is this self promotion dude

[latent sinew]

nope, but there is one for the arrow

also that tooltip i posted is not affected by magnitude

[spring atlas]

Thank you

[wet mango]

Is it impacted by gem level

[robust radish]

i enjoy running sanctum a lot, i wanna make the best sanctum runner build, what should i pick?

[latent sinew]

yes, and like added ele damage with plaguefinger

[wet mango]

Yeah seems weird but I wonder if the "DPS" listed is just the (pretend) damage of the hit

[slate pelican]

hello guys. im new'ish on sorc, and a running a eb+MoM archmage ci setup. i have 2 chestpieces and dont know which is the better choice for endgame. any help would be sweet

also apologies for the awful image quality lol

[wet mango]

Can you share your arrow tab and also what lvl is your skill

[latent sinew]

it's level 21

the reason im asking is i have two bows, one has more poison DPS on the arrow tab by a pretty big margin (8%) but has slightly less DPS on the cloud. but now that i think about it the attack speed on the lower poison dps weapon may be the difference

[pearl sluice]

depends on which helps your resists the most id say

[slate pelican]

im capped with either

[pearl sluice]

on the left then

[blissful acorn]

to any minion peoples, i am currently making my way through mapping. do you guys think zombies or unearth is more useful

[slate pelican]

i can probably sell the corrupted piece reasonably well. so yeah cheers:)

[sterile stone]

guys is it easier to stack mana mom or es for minion infernalist?

[wet mango]

Oh right

Yeah the DPS is just the "damage" times your aspd

But it's not really doing that cuz it doesn't hit

But that's what your poison would be based off

BUT note that only your phys dmg will poison....

[pearl sluice]

they both suck.
rely on arsonists with firewall+ srs + grim harvest for double energy shield
use sacrifice to boost dps when needed

[wet mango]

You have a lot of flat ele

[blissful acorn]

im not looking for meta. just which is more useful

[latent sinew]

i have plaguefinger, makes my ele poison

[wet mango]

Fantastic

The yeah

Ignore the DPS number on cloud

[latent sinew]

thank you though, but that makes sense i was goijng crazy about the DPS numberr but it makes sense now lol

[wet mango]

"avg dmg per hit"
Then base the poison on that

[last patio]

omg i'm gonna cry, I can't build ES for CI because I can't afford int gear with my build

[pearl sluice]

they both suck dude, but especially zombies because slow and too much mana cost

[last patio]

So sad, can't make crossbow/hammer build because of stupid defensive nodes

[pearl sluice]

melee minions just hug each other and get stuck in hallways and bridges, zombies spend nearly 100% of their uptime just walking up to mobs that die to srs+arsonists before they even get there

[lament elk]

can you divine against the darkness jewels? does it reroll the mods or just the value

[wanton quiver]

Is there a way to swaps out your skills for another

[blissful acorn]

yea i figured there was just something i was missing with zombies since unearth is laughably better in every way.

[pearl sluice]

can you be more specific

[blissful acorn]

oh well. just gotta wait to see if they let minions walk through each other

[pearl sluice]

they need to let minions teleport to player when stuck, not die and eventually respawn like they do currently when player moves away from them

[wanton quiver]

So I started out as a witch and I got a skill that shoots kinetic energy in a zig-zag motion and I wanna replace it for another skill if possible

[blissful acorn]

doesnt poe1 have a skill that lets you tp them to you or something like that? i like it when my arsonists aggro on something, chase after it, and kill themselves because they go off screen

[pearl sluice]

check your skills, it's probably your weapon skill you're talking about

[subtle kayak]

Hey guys, I think I may have messed up. I'm doing t8+ maps, I'm on the quest for T12, maxed resistances 85% evasion including the protect me from harm ascendancy on Monk. Life = 1390, ES = 385. I want to fix my survivability. Should I prioritize Life/ES/EV over resistance?

[night pebble]

Is it possible to have 100% crit chance on all your abilities as a warrior?

[pearl sluice]

no

[night pebble]

rip

[undone elk]

Anyone got a spare uncut gem 11

[pearl sluice]

ask ppl in voice channels they'll probably hook u up

[undone elk]

Thanks

[gaunt depot]

Does Flame wall ignite?

[pearl sluice]

yep

[gaunt depot]

ok so ignite bonus will work i thought it may just do burning damage not ignite

although it looks like it does

[pearl sluice]

nah its an ignite

[gaunt depot]

kool

[tender harbor]

What level do you get 3rd ascendency

[last patio]

you get it when you finish your 3rd trial, which comes from an item that drops by chance later on

like in your 70s

[tender harbor]

Around mailing time

Mapping*

ahhh ok

[last patio]

yeah

[lethal valley]

is Freezing Shards a skill in the current game still? i don't see it anywhere

[vernal helm]

hey guys,

does it leech life even if i only do fire dmg because of

but because it says p^hys dmg leeched , it does not say phys dmg done leeched

[last patio]

is fire penetration not preferred for a grenade build?

Given a lot of damage comes from ignite

[brazen mirage]

Is it possible to add quality to skill granted by your ascendancy?

[kind timber]

does the crit rate affect the pdps number on trade site?

[last patio]

do explosions count as hits?

[cerulean arrow]

anyone got passive tree chrt for a level 35 legion commander gernadier build ??? i wanna maximize my dmg and i thought i would like to see some passive trees for that

[old shuttle]

my friend has 90% armor. does that mean he also has 90% more ele res?

[kind timber]

yes but in regards to evasion evasion by default only blocks strikes and projectile hits, slams and aoes cant be evaded (unless you have acrobatics)

[last patio]

thanks, do you know if fire penetration works with ignite damage?

[kind timber]

it does, until you reach 0 res on the enemy, then only exposure can make it lower.

[last patio]

aaah ok ty

[kind timber]

no it just means his armor value will block damage from elemental hits, by default it doesnt at all. its a seperate thing from res entirely.

[half owl]

is there other way to add projectiles arrows to my ranger other than dual string bow?

[latent sinew]

Penetration does not affect damage over time like ignite or poison

It only affects hits. It explicitly says that in one of the tooltips for damaging ailments or something

[shrewd socket]

is it possible to increase rarity with catalyst/quality?

[old shuttle]

okay so he has 75 fire res. 90% armor. He gets hit for 4000 fire. It goes to 1000 fire from the 75 res. Then to 100 from the 90% armor?

[sly jay]

Anyone know a way to make this work lol

[vale shore]

oh yeah

[latent sinew]

Get a good quiver and it's the best bow you can get for some skills

Poisonous concoction with + levels on a quiver pops off with that bow

[old shuttle]

probs spells cause its base dmg is so cheeks

[vale shore]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vjPvRLYNzg&t=401s

[sly jay]

I'm on mercenary atm

[sly jay]

You can use spells with bows?!

[ruby dew]

Hello

[astral willow]

is there any reason a bow invoker wouldn't work?

[kind timber]

i dont know if it gets applied before or after the resistance mitigation, but thats not really how armor works.

armor reduces damage based on a flat value, bigger hits get reduced less, small hits gets much more. someone with a lot of armor could end up dead or at 99% hp if he was dealt the same amount of damage from 100 hits versus just 1 big hit with the same amount of total damage.

when you open screen and it shows a "50%" armor value or whatever, thats just an estimation, the real damage you take depends on the individual hit. you arent going to end up taking 5 damage from a hit of 10 damage, and taking 500 damage from a hit of 1000 damage with 50% armor value in the character window. I dont know the exact values but in general armor just helps a lot more against numerous small/medium hits than single big ones.

[ruby dew]

What's the best ascendancy for merc?

[astral willow]

atm I'd think witch hunter but I bet gemling gets better as they release more skills

[sly jay]

I'm currently on mercenary, I guess I'll make a ranger lol

[lilac lava]

for minions it seems that each time a minion die it completely resets the revive timer

its quite annoying is there a way to prevent that ?

like your 1 seconds for reviving all you other minion, one dies and you have to wait 7 more seconds

[last patio]

does accuracy matter for grenades?

[manic quest]

Yo! Does anyone have a good ranger leveling build just at act 2 right now

[vale shore]

got idea for build but i am too stupid to get it work so can some GigaChad help me whit this one ..... i am which hunter,, i think there is something good going whit ice shards whit 900% damage

[old shuttle]

ah okay thats it. i knew something felt off

[vale shore]

i have never seen grenades missing targets

[uneven yacht]

for titan, i see that many guides run 2h weapons, with or without titans blood. Also passive tree seems to incentivise 2h weapons more.
However while levelling i like dual wielding much more, so i want to ask is there any point in running dual wield titan?

[old shuttle]

dual weilding is a big debuff of 30% less dmg

and its hard to counteract that. So mostly if you wanna dual wield you want two weapons with something like this

[uneven yacht]

i understand, but atm the attacks are so much faster meaning its easier to do bosses.
Consort was impossible to do with a 2h weapon because it was too slow

and the skill page says that i do higher dps with dual wielding

[old shuttle]

getting +14 melee skill level

also 3x str req is larhe

600 str to wield that maul for example

[vital locust]

I can't get better gear and resources are very scarce. Any tips? lv43 act 3

[feral halo]

can you add sockets to corrupted skill gems?

[uneven yacht]

so sorry, i meant dual wielding 1 handed weapons

NOT dual wielding 2 handed weapons using giants blood

basically: is titan ascendancy without giants blood, dual wielding 1h weapons viable?

[old shuttle]

yeah probs

[rancid cipher]

Looking for some advice with a quarterstaff chronomancer from someone with a bit of end game experience. Does this look like it would be a viable passive tree? Any notable changes you would make? Would appreciate any feedback, new to PoE and I'd like to make something to work towards that can handle end game.

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/profile/feb135ff-640f-4985-91f0-83500e3bd93b/builds/80137761-8a05-4f61-9a2c-324da11c611f

[vale shore]

cronomancer whit bleed and trowing hammer of the gods like 4 times is something

[rancid cipher]

Yeah, I saw that build but I wasn't a huge fan of how Hammer of the Gods looked. I like the idea of a melee sorc using elemental attacks from a thematic perspective, so I'm trying to make it work with quarterstaff.

[jade raven]

Don't run cold infusion on ice strike, it reduces the flat damage from charged staff

[rancid cipher]

I get that there isn't much synergy there though. The biggest synergy that I could find was the fact that the recoup time reduction node was right next to what a lot of people are using for the traditional quarterstaff layout.

[jagged thunder]

with Doryani's prototype, if i have negative lightning res penetrate will be useless right? since penetrate is capped at 0% res

[tawny timber]

Hi i got my first uncut gem skill lvl 3 what should i get with it im playing as mercenary

[jade raven]

Try out what you think looks fun

[rancid cipher]

Oh does it? Maybe I didn't understand, I thought that it only effected the "supported" attack. Would that not be only Ice Strike in this case?

[jade raven]

You'll be able to get them all in not long

[vale shore]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpF25tk-5yQ

[jade raven]

The charged staff buff adds damage to all your staff attacks

Lightning damage, specifically

[rancid cipher]

Ah I see, so since it's a buff it also acts as if it's supporting Ice Strike rather than being a unique attack, which then causes the damaage to be reduced?

Is that about right?

[jade raven]

It's not that it's supporting ice strike. It's like the buff adds damage to your staff. And ice strike like all attacks is based on the damage values on your staff

I recommend putting concentrated effect on instead, it's gonna give you more value there than on charged staff

[rancid cipher]

Alright, sounds good thank you.

[vale shore]

i am still wondering if there is anything good going whit thes items

[cinder river]

What's the best single target spell i can use on the witch for bossing? My clear is amazing with hexblast. But I need something to dps chunky guys

[weak knoll]

Hey i just died in the trial of chaos, i cant go anymore ?

[astral willow]

you have to close and reopen it at the pedestal thingy

[vale shore]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQSnXxnw9Rc

[kind timber]

if its the green one it should still be in the device thing, you just open the UI for it and close/open it again

[acoustic island]

I got an absolutely rediculous frost staff and just wondering if its best to put points into elemental or frost build up to scale the damage higher?

[quasi flint]

Any good casters aside from witch/sorcerer?

[mossy wave]

am I better off going fully into energy shield if I only have nodes relevant to energy shield instead of having a bit of armour or evasion also?

[acoustic island]

They're really the only two due to their ascension. But I believe there's more coming with the full release

[mossy wave]

or is there a threshold where initial armour / evasion is higher scaling wise by default

[acoustic island]

Armour I believe is better than energy shield

[mossy wave]

for example I have around 324 armour from my stuff but none of it's scaled, I have 17% armour as a result but would it be better for all that to be dumped into energy shield instead

Ya I just don't have any nodes relevant to it since I'm on the other side of the passive tree

[lofty token]

Hey do you think witch full summon or infernalist is better ?

[mossy wave]

Not enough dex to go into evade either since I still need to pump STR as a blood mage.

[acoustic island]

You can always dump it into energy shield and test it, then try for just armour through stats instead

[mossy wave]

Yea I guess I'll play around with it, I think another compounding factor is that I have eternal youth so scaling on the energy shield itself is off

since I'll have higher max % but the regen rate on it is transferred to my HP

I'm not sure how much of my HP as part of a mitigation strategy as a result

[fallow vault]

would you say it's better to build Spark Stormweaver with crit, or without?

[weak knoll]

fucking trial

[crimson thorn]

is Herald of Ash's explosion considered fire damage?

[sand gull]

that one is soo much easier than the chimaera at least

[weak knoll]

bro this shit is impossible

boss started to become a tornado

it one shotted me

[sand gull]

I didn't let it get that far I guess. the chimaera is okay if you're a ES class

but if you don't have it it'll leech you out of flasks cause it spends 95% of its time in the air

so annoying

[weak knoll]

i'm gemling

gas arrow

[proven rapids]

this effect would be broken on very high tier arour base xd

like transcendence in poe1

would be so good on infernalist

[old shuttle]

yeah i knew it didnt do what i thought it did but didnt understand why

and yeah its cause 50% armor is an approximate average

and isnt the same as say 50% ele res

[proven rapids]

https://youtu.be/r43Ms66OFx0 Suggest you to watch this video

it will answer all your question about how armor and ele res work

[fossil sable]

Does anyone know if Heft works with Detonate Dead

[old shuttle]

idk why they did max life so dirty

[rocky meteor]

hihi, does anybody know if there is a way for me to check if the momentum support rune works with plasma blast? i added it to the socket but the damage in the skill panel isn't changing after walking around while charging

[spare shadow]

What are the goto for mana regen on sorc? I came from a 50k dps spark build cuz of lacking boss dmg and mana issues, it’s a slightly altered meta build to support 2 weapon set passive trees. Yet with 5100 mana it kinda struggles with mana regen on bosses, while he did them no problem

[proven rapids]

what's heft ?

[fossil sable]

More maximum phys damage

Detonate dead is 20% of corpse life, so I was thinking heft might add 30% more on top of that?

Hard to tell though

[uneven mesa]

its worth testing. heft seems to be working with a lot of stuff it shouldn't

if it is working you'll see it reflected instantly on your dmg counter

[uneven mesa]

it should work in theory, i guess you could test it by removing all other supports and finding a tanky mob to shoot at and compare dmg with?

[real oracle]

What would you recomend a sorcerer to pick in the '' Anceint vows mission '' ?

[fossil sable]

Yeah I guess I could go to some boss with an easy checkpoint and test

[uneven mesa]

you shouldn't need to test, your skill shows a damage number right? it changes as you bring in and take out support gems

that number will update if heft is going to work, if it doesn't update heft does not work

[uneven mesa]

if you plan to use your mana pool for defense the mana pot buff, otherwise i'd personally suggest the charm charges

[tight goblet]

Hey guys, I’m building my end game build for maps, just got the cap resist sorted out, what’s indicative stat numbers are recommended next for Life / armour / evasion? Thanks! (i’m playing Witch Hunter - crossbow)

Maybe buy scrolls of wisdom in currency exchange and vendor them?

[mystic tangle]

they're 2 coins each 😦

[remote mural]

Then idk 😁

[gilded nova]

Is this good? Should I pay 30x for it?

[gusty bone]

Does lightning bolt on crit have an internal cooldown?

[potent swift]

How much ES is generally acceptable for going CI?

[static spade]

Is it true that spells that triggered by Cast on Death doesn't use mana?

[raw eagle]

Does my skill need to already chain for this to work? or will it just give it a base 60% chance to chain

[rotund goblet]

does anyone know if the poison cloud from gas arrow requires chance to poison?

[drifting cedar]

are there any sources of +1 limit other than Overabundance Support?

[rotund goblet]

the rate at which it poisons enemies seems inconsistent

[drifting cedar]

It needs to either chain or be able to chain, so any skill with built in chaining or any projectile which does not pierce

[raw eagle]

Can projectiles not have both pierce and chain?

[spare quartz]

Guy I'm trying to trade with is in Felled Hideout how do i find that

Ah i got it my clicking him

The struggle is real for noobs trying to trade through the website

[severe drum]

so why do my abilities not show dps anymore?

[spare quartz]

Need skill window open i think

[hexed vessel]

hello! does anyone know if "50% chance for jagged ground" on totems can potentially proc multiple times, or it just only proc'd on the initial cast

[thin shore]

if no, what now?

[sudden valley]

Server crash ?

[snow sierra]

do you need to scale Crit for hexblast to work ? or can it work without crit ?

[hollow zephyr]

Is it good for monk??

[sudden valley]

Fck got disconnected while in trial...

[raw eagle]

What happening if a skill has both chain and pierce?

[manic thunder]

Did this last update kill the witch infernalist RS build? Or is there still a viable one out there?

[snow sierra]

No everything dead abandon minions, never play them again......

[manic thunder]

😦

[snow sierra]

if you didnt get it that was a joke

[manic thunder]

No i got it lol

[snow sierra]

everything is fine its not even near enough to kill even off meta minion builds

[compact atlas]

How much accuracy does mercenary need for a bow build generally? I don't know what to shoot for.

[snow sierra]

my chronomancer minion build is just fine, and infernalist is objectivly mutch stronger

tbh minions atm would work with a no ascendency at t16 just fine

[manic thunder]

Are the raging spirits still applicable as well? Or was that disabled like they said they would

I am just considering switching to that build

[snow sierra]

every minion build should use them

[manic thunder]

Gotcha

[snow sierra]

you just have to selfcast the firewall

[manic thunder]

Cool cool.

[snow sierra]

or the fire spell of your choosing, i played a while with fireball^^

but firewall is the best pick for now because of how projectiles interact

[manic thunder]

Awesome! Thank you!

[drifting cedar]

They will chain when they run out of pierces, essntially

or when they fail to pierce, in the case of chaining off terrain

[snow sierra]

To my question any hexblasters out there playing without scaling crit ?

i did assable to holy trinity of leveling, gas arrow, radiant grief, corpswalker 😛

and a ghostwrith just for good massure so i dont have to think about life

[sudden valley]

Do MF still not work if ennemy is killed by minions ?

[sonic peak]

any acrobatics enjoyers can tell me if my current ER is enough to spec into it?

kinda scared

about stuff like breach/ritual after speccing into it

at the same time I'm constantly getting one-shot from the monkey slams in maps :(

[snow sierra]

specc into it if you are still near 70% evasion its good

it not remove it again

[sonic peak]

yeah, it'll go to 68

[silver anvil]

does iron reflexes convert after all the evasion% buffs?

[snow sierra]

68 evasion with it sounds like a very good deal to me

i would take it dodgeing aoes is huge

[vale heart]

does crimson pwoer convert the armors es into health or does it just straight up the amount of es as hp + you keep the es?

[snow sierra]

as i understand it it just gives you the hp so you keep the es

kinda sure thats how it works

[proper temple]

Hello I am level 80 monk invoker I was looking for a ice strike / flicker build any ideas?

[thorn cargo]

Buddy may I ask what jewel and rune I should use for my infernalist summoner?

I'm build MoM, hp, mana and artonist

[lunar geyser]

Whats the best current class?

[snow sierra]

normaly its good to use 7% block jewels with Minion attack speed assuming you wear a shield

[thorn cargo]

Oh I'm wearing an unique shield that have spirit

[snow sierra]

then i would recommend the block jeweles for sure, make sure you have a high block value version of this shield tho

like it should have 38% block if you find one over 40% block it would be rly good

[snow hull]

can i ask general question about items in here 😅

[snow sierra]

As long as you dont want a price check 😛

[snow hull]

currently running on 30k gold so im a poor guy 😄

which one for infernalist is better in your opinion?

do i value spirit more or minion lv

[snow sierra]

The "one for infernalist" question is kinda flawed because it dos not tell us anyhting about your build

[snow hull]

ah ok

is see

[snow sierra]

But if you play minions + Minion level > all

[snow hull]

how do i make it more clear

[tidal copper]

minion level is about twice as good as spirit unless you need spirit ill say

[snow sierra]

in my oppionion

[snow hull]

ok thx ❤️ i will run with minion lvl

[snow sierra]

As a minion player minion level is the most important thing to scale your dmg

[snow hull]

i was trying to go for the Raxxanterax build, he is going full minion dmg without max life or armour

so i think you are right with minion lvl

[snow sierra]

dont know they guy. But going life early on as a minion build is a kinda cheap way to transition into comfy mapping

Will hit a wall tho, from my experience

But you can care about that problem when you get there^^

[snow hull]

ok 😄 we will see, right now i feel super tanky but lack boss dmg

and somehow i feel like gold is really rare

[snow sierra]

do you use offerings and flammabilty curse ?

[snow hull]

cant really afford to respec

[old shuttle]

How are people goinga bout applying wither btw

[snow hull]

yes i do use them

but maybe my items arent that good for now

i run on 164 spirit at lvl 41

[snow sierra]

make sure to use them on bosses, make sure your minion level is high, first soket gos to srs. you should melt bosses

[snow hull]

yep got that srs

it thinks it doing the most dmg rn

[snow sierra]

at the stage where you are at most likely

[snow hull]

skeletal arsonists are kinda underwhelimg rn

[merry creek]

Are there any items or passives that benefit strength stacking witch minions?

[snow sierra]

try snipers, its a more active playstyle but i like them more for my build

[rancid cipher]

If you have 1 life are you considered both full and low on life?

[snow hull]

i will give it a try, ty ❤️

[old shuttle]

full yes ll no

[snow sierra]

you will never be low life with CI

[rancid cipher]

kk, ty

[sour basin]

i currently have 2.95% life regeneration per second, 105% life regeneration rate and 15% life recovery rate from passive tree.

i can get another 1.4% life regeneration per second in passive tree.

im at 220 life regen per second currently would going for more life regeneration be better or is the 1.4% extra better?

[old shuttle]

how muchg more

[sour basin]

what part specifically?

[old shuttle]

the "more life regen" part

[snow sierra]

you asked what would be better and only gave us one value

[old shuttle]

cause 1.4% is roughly half of your life regen

[snow sierra]

yes unlimtied more life regeneration is better then 1.4%

[old shuttle]

so the more life regen would need to be likfe 50%

[sour basin]

i can see 4 life regen rate nodes accessable which is 60% in total from those

these would give the 1.4% life per second and 20% regen

im on warrior and have hulking form so numbers will be different for yall

[plain osprey]

is there a way to export my current gear so someone else could have a comprehensive look without needing 9+ screenshots?

[velvet cobalt]

any experienced poe1 players playing monk here? I'm struggling a bit on defining my character's next goals now that I'm starting mapping, and I'd love to ask a few specific questions! thanks so much in advance to anyone willing to take the time

[tidal copper]

CTRL C your item and CTLR V on note pad could be ok?

[upbeat totem]

Any reason why you can't auto-weapon swap on using a concoction?

[tidal copper]

not set right?

[upbeat totem]

I don't think you even have the option to set the weapon swap stuff for concoctions

[tidal copper]

Well thats fun!

[upbeat totem]

Ikr 😦

[merry creek]

Looking for annoint ideas for a strength stacking infernalist arsonist/SRS build

[tidal copper]

Thats nuts, do you have a second weapon? Maybe that makes it appear? Add some points in your secondary tree or something?

Messed up

[tidal copper]

Fast Acting Toxins

[snow sierra]

i dont think that is a thing alone Astramentis would eat up +3 Minion level, i am not aware of any strength scaling minion items that would make that loss worth it

[merry creek]

ugh I was afraid of that

I was following this guide: https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/life-stacker-infernalist-kripp#equipment-0

i guess the strength is for life for the additional spirit

[tidal copper]

Kripp??? Our Kripp?

[merry creek]

so ... annoint life nodes?

[snow sierra]

yes this is a good guide to follow for having a smooth ride into endgame

but it will struggel at the very top cause you cant scale your tank anymore

[merry creek]

idk who kripp is but I have liked his guide so far, im cruising in T4 maps still

[upbeat totem]

I didn't have another weapon, but that wasn't it. I think they just don't have it enabled because technically concoctions are an "unarmed" skill. I still get benefits from quivers/shields though so they should enable it

[merry creek]

ahh

[snow sierra]

but it should take you to t10-15 mapy easly

[merry creek]

What should I respec into? I have like 30 ex to work with

oh ok

well do you have any annoint suggestions?

[graceful hull]

Can Cloak of Flame be outscaled for physical damage protection by a rare body lategame? Not sure if I should swap away from mine

i do have a bunch of divines ready for the upgrade, but im not sure cos i cant check with PoB T_T

[merry creek]

Ty!

[snow sierra]

if you are dieing annoint wont help you mutch, ill assume your res is bad, or chaos res, or your life is low

[merry creek]

I'm not dying at all

Just looking to optimize a bit more damage I guess

[calm forge]

is chaos damage the only way to scale chaos dot? it seems like spell damage is not doing anything but maybe i'm crazy

[snow sierra]

more dmg is in your scepter, neck or helm

[merry creek]

ah.. May I show you my 3 items? Maybe you can give me a bit more advice?

[upbeat totem]

What skill is it? if its like poe1, it will explicitly say whether its scaled by spell damage or not

[snow sierra]

yes sure, wisper them to me so you dont spamm the channel

[upbeat totem]

For example contagion says it:

[mystic osprey]

i'm thinking to use tempest flurry for electrocuting to use in tandem with combat frenzy. skills with electrocute support cant shock. can I shock with charged staff's waves instead while using tempest flurry, or do those waves count as coming off of temptest flurry and they cant shock?

[calm forge]

so if it doesn't have that line, it won't scale it then?

[upbeat totem]

Probably not, what skill is it?

[calm forge]

essence drain/profane ritual

[upbeat totem]

Essence drain has it

[calm forge]

no it doesn't

[upbeat totem]

And so does profane ritual, so you should be good

[upbeat totem]

Hold Alt on essence drain and click the "damage over time" tab

[calm forge]

oh damn i had no idea i could do that. well alr thanks

[upbeat totem]

yea its a great feature they added

[calm forge]

that is really nice yea. i only knew i could do it to read the stuff on the passive tree

[upbeat totem]

Yeah anything that has the squiggly underneath it can be read that way as well

like "Projectile" and "Chaos" on essence drain

[calm forge]

nice thanks. maybe i can plan a little less clueless now

[wheat horizon]

cam someone recommend one extra good support gems for blasphemy? currently slotting despair, focused curse, and magnified effect

[old fable]

hi guys i am trying to gear my spark stormweaver.

Is Increased Spell Damage = Increased Lightning Damage if i am only dealing lightning damage in general? So i was wondering if I can add both % up and it doesnt really matter what the distribution is?

[snow sierra]

yes its the same

if you only dealing lightning dmg

[unreal girder]

No idea what to anoint for galvanic/shockburst WH any ideas

[snow sierra]

it gets even added at the same step you nither of them is a MORE

[lone root]

how do i spend endurance charges? currently i gain them by using Break Endurance support gem, but they dont seem to give me anything on their own?

[snow sierra]

Look at "soul offering" it has a more modifire that means its not the same pool as increased and thus extremly valueable

[pearl sluice]

this good?

[snow sierra]

i can see a selfcurse build working with it, maybe with Doryani's Prototype

but that would be scetchy af

[pearl sluice]

the last thing kinda scare me

[snow sierra]

well unless you turn it into a strength^^

[pearl sluice]

wdym

[snow sierra]

there are notes on the tree that interact with selfcurse, with Doryani's Prototype you would give enemy your lighting res from the camapin you can not pick lighting res and be at -70 add two rings for around -40 on that and a curse for -40

well these enemys will now surly die when you hit them with lighting, the question how do you survive lighting now remains to be seen

[woeful chasm]

which one of those would be better for fubguns deadeye?(i assume the one with high CR no?)

[pearl sluice]

ah idk if i like that tbh

[old shuttle]

is this -20% or x0.8?

[celest oxide]

Seems kinda wild to me that strength gives you something useful like HP and Dex gives you something absolutely useless like Accuracy

[snow sierra]

i dont like it to but i can see it working, and there is a minion build that uses Doryani's Prototype so selfcusrse with this stuff wouldnt be unthinkable^^

[old shuttle]

acc can be good

[halcyon solar]

a pretty general question: Why would i want to take Atlas Skill nodes like "increased Quality of Waystones/Tablets" if i can simply Trans/Aug/Regal them myself?

[old shuttle]

so you dont have to regal them

and they can just drop as like a 6 mod

[snow sierra]

wait donst qualitiy mean those mods are better ?

[halcyon solar]

rarity is what i wanted to say

[old shuttle]

rarity is just the colour nothing else. and yeah i got what you meant. no chisel in poe 2

[native burrow]

How useful is Recoup like this?

[old shuttle]

not very

[tired gyro]

if I take that skill, does it take away 25% of my cold damage or do I still have 100% cold damage and additionally 25% fire damage?

[snow sierra]

without chrono kinda ok, with chrono borderline useable^^
easy way to get some substain if you cant get anything else

[old shuttle]

gain is gain. no downside

[tired gyro]

ok ty

[old shuttle]

hover keyword gain

[tired gyro]

wasn't 100% clear to me because it also mentions damage conversion

[native burrow]

Yeah 8 seconds is a lot of time

[halcyon solar]

Since i never lack Regals at all, it would seem to me that those Atlas points might be spent in a better way.

[snow sierra]

I am starting to get low on regals since ive started finding level 81+ bases

regaling good bases made me so mutch ex ^^

[dense oak]

is this decent?

[snow sierra]

not rly

[dense oak]

damn

is it better than my old armour?

[thorn cargo]

I just bought this for 5 ex

[snow sierra]

yes but only very slightly because of res cold res

[thorn cargo]

Is it good

[sinful spoke]

hey, is there any major difference between 73% cold resist and cap?

[snow sierra]

yes a 2%

[sinful spoke]

is that literally just 2% more damage i take or does it scale higher?

[snow sierra]

its ok you wanna have +4 minions soonish but it will serve you until then

[thorn cargo]

Thank you

After checking the trading web for an hour I can finally have some decent rattling sceptre

[snow sierra]

2% can be kinda alot at this level but its nothing to rly stress over depending on where in the game you are

[drifting cedar]

it would be a really great scepter with some "allies in presence deal % increased damage" on it

[snow sierra]

nah

[drifting cedar]

definitely a good chaos candidate if you ever upgrade

[snow sierra]

increased dmg is so noeed needed

if you can get it nice if not whatever

minion level is king

[sinful spoke]

im on t11 maps rn, i can annoit prism if it rly matters huge, but other wise i should be pretty chill

[tidal copper]

Is more than you think
Every % higher is a bigger difference than the last
80% resistances is huge 90% is inmortal in comparison

[drifting cedar]

they arent exclusive

[vivid ferry]

where can I go to see the possible corruption results of an item?

[fringe cape]

Can someone tell me wtf is going on here? I am supposed to have 11 arsonists, 1 storm mage, and 2 warriors but there are only 11 total with me??

[snow sierra]

i know but stressing out over a bit of dmg is not worth it, spirit and minion level are way more important

[snow sierra]

interface bug

[fringe cape]

There are no skeleton warriors at all though

Like they aren't helping me fight lol

[hasty meadow]

can someone help me why this doesnt work? i want to search for a ring that give total of 10~15 all ele resis

[snow sierra]

why do you think you should have warris ?

[vivid crown]

Do all enemies have a set fire resistance or is it only the ones with fire symbol?

[winged topaz]

When should i start getting my resistances up? Im a level 61 stormweaver and havent looked for them yet.

[snow sierra]

remove all minions, remove your scepter, equip it then add the minions back

[sinful spoke]

so if i annoit this, i will have the 3 at 76%, thats definitely what i want going towards t15 maps right?

[snow sierra]

while playing to maps you just try to get your res up, when hitten maps or latest t5 or something you should aim to cap them

[old shuttle]

cause yeah going from 75 res to 76 res is like goin from taking 100 dmg to 96 dmg

[snow sierra]

its strong, but so are other annoint options

[old shuttle]

which is solid

[primal zealot]

do you like poe2 passive points better or poe1?

[fringe cape]

well that fixed it but i dont know wtf happened.... i did two parts of this trial without them

[tidal copper]

It can be good, in PoE 1 youll often have problems with getting a bit of max resitances cause penetration became a problem as the game went on
i cant say how reliable max resistance is without having a lot is in PoE2

[old shuttle]

but yeah not worth ~15 divines to annoint that

[snow sierra]

At the moment i like poe1 more, cause i feel like life in the tress missing rly hurts build, it makes it more easy to understand. but in the same vain it seems to make most life based builds not viable in endgame

[old shuttle]

some maps have ele weakness, so a little over 75 cap is nice.

yeah life nodes being thanos snapped is weird. one % life node in the tree. So many useless recoup taken nodes.

like im blood mage actively building towards life. i have as much ES as i do life. like lol?

[snow sierra]

ye but ES notes existing make it kinda mood its like ye if you wanna scale defensives go es dummy

[sinful spoke]

gotcha, guess i will just play by ear, cuz i rly dont wanna make tiny upgrades in gear for 1-2% ele res rn

[snow sierra]

scale ES with the lol helm

as a bloodmage

[old shuttle]

like lol

[snow sierra]

thats the way to go

[old shuttle]

the lol helm?

[snow sierra]

wait gonna bost it like every high end bloodmage build ive seen has it

that one

with grim feast and some es notes

and suddenly you run around with 4k hp and 6k es

[old shuttle]

i want life not ES

[snow sierra]

me too but no life to specc :x

[tawny imp]

anyone know how to increase the supporter slots on basic attack skills? i tried lesser jewelers orb for a 3rd slot and doesnt work.

[wide mantle]

At some point mine just leveled up on its own? So I guess they're automatic maybe.

[snow sierra]

i played life all of poe1 mostly summoners...but with poe2 life just seems bad the more you invest

[thorn cargo]

I heard people said that I should have at least 2 cleric skeleton, are they really that useful

[snow sierra]

1 works for me, 2 is comfy

[vivid ferry]

shouldnt chaos res here be about 5x 7%?

why is it only saying 7%?

[thorn cargo]

Oh I'm using only 1 too, cause I'm out of spirit

[fringe cape]

do they actually keep minions alive during boss fights?

[snow sierra]

same for me

[snow sierra]

nah they are more for offerings while mapping

but minions dieing in bossfights is kinda a non issue, you onehit the boss anyways and if not, you just dodge for 4sec and they are back

1 cleric just makes stuff smoother from my experince and a 2 is nice if you dont have the spirit for another ones of your main minions

[thorn cargo]

Gottcha, thank you so much

[snow sierra]

when you run reavers you want 1 cleric per 4 reavers tho

but who runs them

[thorn cargo]

Oh, and do you know what the middle debuff does?

I think its from my doggo

[snow sierra]

i think its a slow

but not sure

[fringe cape]

maim i think?

[snow sierra]

ye that could be it i think ive seen it too when i put maim in my skellys

[old shuttle]

can a 20% chaula catalyst make it so a +5 gem goes a +6?

[thorn cargo]

Oh that right its maim, reduce evasion

[azure saffron]

Anyone know if barrier invocation is bugged? I'm using comet with barrier invocation and capacitor, it says max energy is 900. When it says im at 52% energy, that means I should have 468 energy which is enough for 2x comets, but it only shows I have one cast available.

[old shuttle]

im dumb jewelery cant have + chaos lvl xd

[snow sierra]

it can have curse area of effect tho :x

end increased energy shield lol

up to 15%

try find a jewel that gives that mutch life xD

[fringe cape]

it goes above 15%, idk how high though

i have one at 19% energy shield

[snow sierra]

yeeez

this is insane...maybe i should just go for jewels in my tree

[fringe cape]

i saw a build that was entirely the outside circle because apparently jewels give better stats than the stuff in the trees

[proven rapids]

That's what some people already do in end game with bis jewel everywhere on tree

[snow sierra]

why am i not suprised by that^^

[proven rapids]

Kinda stupid honestly, ggg need to balance that, and I mean buffing the tree, not nerfing jewel

[snow sierra]

ah i mean if you need a 2 -5 div jewel for it to be viable i think its fine

like there are allways these kind of builds around attribut stacker etc...that just scale insane with investmet and have a very wired tree

we still need life on the tree back imo <,<

[proven rapids]

That or nerfing es everywhere to be in line with life and nerf the shit out of monster damage scaling in late game

[thorn cargo]

Im lvl 67 am I enough to do 3rd ascen?

[snow sierra]

then es would need a insane nerf....and only life would be viable, i think its hard to find a balance when one can invest in the tree and the other can not

[wintry gale]

how much is a perfect gem rn?

[proven rapids]

If you buff life to be in line with es atm, you are just making es characters even stronger and life char playable, not a great solution imo

[autumn cloud]

Depending on the level of the token

[thorn cargo]

Its 64

[snow sierra]

yes i am aware cause there a so many life scaling es stuff atm

[autumn cloud]

Then probably not unless you’re a really skilled player

[snow sierra]

my frind did it with 60

i needed 75 tho

[thorn cargo]

Do I lost the token if I fail?

[snow sierra]

yes

[autumn cloud]

Be like 10 levels above

Yea you lose token

[thorn cargo]

Oh alright I will wait until 74

[autumn cloud]

You can buy lvl 60 ones for 1 div lol

[thorn cargo]

Just choose a lot of honour buff right

[snow sierra]

honor resistance

[autumn cloud]

Yea stack 75%

That’s max

[thorn cargo]

I can get it from the shop in the trial right?

[autumn cloud]

No

Not the relics

They drop

So farm Sek at lower levels to get relics

Then do a few runs and try to get to the 3rd boss

[thorn cargo]

Oh alr I have a lot of Low level sek token

Thanks for the advice guys

[lucid smelt]

Anyone know how aftershocks interact with crit? Are they individual attacks or literally identical repeats

For example, sunders auto-crit

[jagged pawn]

does anyone know, how does Pyromantic Pact in Infernalist ascendancy interact with the Mind Over Matter keystone?

[snow sierra]

it dosnt

as far as i know no mana item at all interacts with it

or note

wont stop my from trying everything myself to see if i find a bug to abuse tho 😛

[glass prism]

what is best for sorceress rn?

frost seem popular

[snow sierra]

Minion ofc its allways minion

if you dont play minion you are playing wrong 😉

[glass prism]

i play sorcerer not witch tho

[snow sierra]

so do i with minions

[glass prism]

crazy

[static plinth]

Spark Flame Wall is popular

[glass prism]

i heard they open door for you

[snow sierra]

ye they are super dumb

still minions :x

[thorn cargo]

This is my passive skills for infernalist summoner and I'm planing apply these node next

Armour and ES

[snow sierra]

go for the block notes first

if you are not blockcapped

[glass prism]

eldrich battery + mind over matter worth?

[thorn cargo]

So I should go for everything in this node but just block first?

[jagged pawn]

pyro pact fully replaces mana with infernal flame tho. does that mean MOM does nothing if you take pyro pact?

[snow sierra]

i did it at the start to make transition into ES more smooth

[jagged pawn]

or rather, does nothing good i should say lol

[snow sierra]

that what ppl said, and i assume it dos nothing

And with MoM its not even worth testing myself

cause i assume the ppl saying that tested it

but items...you never know^^

[snow sierra]

i would go to the right side first these notes are super strong, you need to check if you can affort to pick the big one there tho

[dapper violet]

Yo, does any1 know if Heft support gem affects Detonate Dead? I think it might not affect it because DD does not have min-max dmg... only the fire part has it

[thorn cargo]

2 nodes to the right, right?

[snow sierra]

ye

[thorn cargo]

And after that I should go for armour and ES or just keep go for block chance?

[snow sierra]

go block until capped

75% is insane strong

[thorn cargo]

Got it

Does that mean that I have 75% chance to block everything?

[snow sierra]

every hit

[thorn cargo]

Zamn that nice

[jagged pawn]

yes it should work buy only for the phys damage portion of the explosion (20% of corpse's max life).

[raw geyser]

so I just realized I wasn’t a witch and I’ve been building to be a literal demon. only just now realized because I did the ascendency class quest and don’t know what to do…

[sacred warren]

Monk: anybody have any suggestions on how to generate power charges against pinnacle bosses? since the only ways i've seen is dodging, or freeze/electrecute/pin, neither really generating many charges against a single boss

[jagged pawn]

oops 🙂

[snow sierra]

used the wrong term the game says every strike and projectile, so it dos not block the hits that are aoe based my bad

[raw geyser]

oh

[jagged pawn]

only thing you can do is restart as witch if you really want to be Infernalist

[raw geyser]

I’m to deep in

[jagged pawn]

if you're only at first ascension, you're not that deep

[raw geyser]

I’ll just throw fireballs at this point

[tropic rune]

Thoughts on the best build for chaos spells?

[thorn cargo]

It aight, appreciate the correction

[raw geyser]

I don’t play often and it took a while to get to act 3

[jagged pawn]

first ascension is act 2?

[snow sierra]

there are alot of nice hexblast builds out there, might be the best pick for chaos spell atm

[raw geyser]

I may have completely skipped this part

[dapper violet]

did you mean for the fire portion? how can it work for the phys one?

[rugged kraken]

When you use giants blood. Does my two hander count as a two hander PLUS a one hander? Cuz im using it with one hand now? Or is it still classified as a two hander for purpose of skill trees

[jagged pawn]

heft increases phys damage...

[raw geyser]

Thinking I wouldn’t be strong enough, so I just kept running though story and now I’m in Act 3

[atomic ruin]

can i apply an artificers orb more than once on a peice of gear?

also am i good to keep investing in this?

[static plinth]

Twice to body armour and two-handed weapons

[tropic rune]

Thanks. Yeah there seems to be two main ones for hexblast: blood mage crit and demonform

[mental lake]

does the curse hexblast consumes affect its damage or do damage calculations happen after it consumes the curse?

[dapper violet]

oh yeah, but what kind of max phys dmg will it increase?

[raw geyser]

and from what I’m looking at Storm weaver has nothing to do with fire but chrono might…

[coral dagger]

would it be silly to use soul core for bleed when i dont have any bleed focused parts of my build? or is it good anyways..

[snow sierra]

ye i gonna build a non demon form infernalist hexblast build, that i call better bloodmage...but not sure how good it will be xD will get me a while to get to t16 level

[atomic ruin]

is it worth investing into that armour?

with some runes and scraps

[tropic rune]

Nice, hope it does well!

[snow sierra]

i hope so too

[jagged pawn]

i don't know what you mean by that...? say a corpse has 100 max life. detonate dead should cause the explosion to do 100*0.2 = 20 physical damage plus fire damage depending on gem level. in theory heft should cause that same explosion to do between 20 and 24 physical damage instead of flat 20. i don't know if it actually works, but it should since the explosion should count as a hit.

[raw geyser]

I think I can make it work, I should’ve done research on it before skipping that quest entirely

[dapper violet]

yeah... last minute I was thinking about the same... I hope it works this way, thanks

[raw geyser]

Probably why I struggled so hard

[jagged pawn]

if it doesn't work, bug report it lol 🙂

[olive mist]

With plaguefinger gloves, does elemental damage scale up poison dot damage?

[dapper violet]

cant say if it works or does not, since we don't have the DD corpse dmg info

[jagged pawn]

you can test it on a boss with a fixed number of adds. the act 1 boss is good for that since the enemies that load in when you first enter the instance leave corpses.

though i guess you can't separate what portion of damage dealt is fire and what is phys

[last patio]

what was the node that allows you to take any skill based on your highest attribute?

or something like that

[static plinth]

Its good, id do so

[static plinth]

Its a Gemling Legionnaire ascendancy node

[jagged pawn]

Adaptive Capability in Gemling Legionaire ascendancy

[static plinth]

Idk what the name of it is

[last patio]

aaaah shame

ok nvm ty

[dapper violet]

I can try to use brutality, but what kind of boss were u talking about

[jagged pawn]

count geonor

[last patio]

do you think a grenade build could do well in high level maps with evasion as the ONLY defensive layer?

[jagged pawn]

there are like 6 soldiers in the room when you first enter

[last patio]

there are no armour nodes where I'm starting and going

[jagged pawn]

doing anything to roll the dice... just one... more... time

[last patio]

if you only knew how many dice I'm rolling XD. I'm going chronomancer high crit chance hammer of the gods + crossbow CD reset build. So I'm gamba on CD resets AND gamba on crit chance lol.

Aiming for the jackpot of 5x hammers, all 5 critical

[snow sierra]

sounds fun

[last patio]

yeah and crossbow grenade skills are all on CD

so I can spam the shit out of them with chronomancer

I just worry that ER alone isn't enough

[snow sierra]

i think at the momeny you can just slot in multiple cd skills

and pop them all one after another

[last patio]

that's the plan

[snow sierra]

so you can have like 6 hammers slotted

i takling about the same one^^

[graceful stag]

I'm doing a chronohammer 2

[last patio]

crossbow happens to be the only weapon that actually has CD skills, mace just has hammer of the gods, so I'm putting that in offhand

[snow sierra]

just put in 12 hammers of god

and call it a day xD

[last patio]

thankfully mace/shield gives mobility

[snow sierra]

but i expect that to be fixed soon^^

[last patio]

just really scared I'll be screwed on defenses X_X

I mean ranger does alright with just evasion, so why not?

[graceful stag]

Go titans blood and recoup that's what I'm doing on chronohammer

[snow sierra]

or ghostwrith

i am doing that on my chornomancer

and 10k ES is so strong

with the rollback

[dawn arch]

if im going to use all of my spirit on stacking just 1 minion should i use normal skeletons or reavers?

[last patio]

titan's blood? where do I find that

is it a node?

[snow sierra]

And having CI solves the chaos res problems xD

[graceful stag]

Bottom left keystone of warrior start

If u do some extra shenanigans u can use hammer as a clear skill

[snow sierra]

there is a 50% less cd shield

that sounds nice for those builds

[graceful stag]

I'm using that with a special tech it's how I'm able to hammer clear

[snow sierra]

2 sec cd on rewind with 10k es you will never run out xD

[last patio]

I WANT to go down there, but you have to take like 3x as many attribute nodes

[snow sierra]

the tech of slotting 12 hammers ?:P

[last patio]

actually I can't either way, it triples attribute requirement of weapon, I'm hybrid dex/str so I can use crossbow in mainhand

This actually worries me that hammer of the gods won't be good damage without it

[graceful stag]

Theres a trick u can do to get around it

I'm full hamer so with that + not needing dex it's ez

[graceful stag]

Without what

It's amazing damage

[last patio]

without giant's blood keystone.

[graceful stag]

U go giants blood for a shield

[rocky pilot]

Giants blood does not give damage

strength does not give damage people

[graceful stag]

Theres a tag on hammer of the gods that fucjs dual weilding

[last patio]

I know that, but 2 handed maces give more damage than 1 handed maces

[graceful stag]

Giants blood let's u use a 2h bro

With a shield

[rocky pilot]

you just use 2 handed even without giants blood

and noone dual wields them

so its purely a defensive keystone at this current moment

[graceful stag]

Dual wielding doesn't work with slams

Theres a 30% less damage multi on most

[static plinth]

We hold out for Dual Strike of Ambidexterity for Giant's Blood tomfoolery

[rocky pilot]

the less damage is to make up for more damage. theres only a few slams that are absolutely not viable for dual wield

[last patio]

i understand, I wanted a shield so I could use shield charge and have a mobility skill, because being able to 1 shot is useless if you have to wobble along the map

[rocky pilot]

the real reason is because defense is so borked you really want a shield, and they're so slow 2h mace really doesn't need to dual wield a second one

[graceful stag]

Giants blood lwts u have a 2h and shield at the same time bro

That's why u take it

[rocky pilot]

he knows that man. you're not folowing the convo

[last patio]

yes but I have a crossbow, so I can't take it

crossbow requires dex

[void notch]

would wildshards be beneficial for a spark build?

[thorn cargo]

How many div orb u guys can grind in one day?

[last patio]

I can't have 3x str requirement and 3x crossbow requirement

[snow sierra]

depends on how effective you grind

i dont make a div in one hour normaly

[last patio]

200hrs in and not 1

[rocky pilot]

you don't take giants blood with a crossbow anyway.
you can't wear a shield with a crossbow either. exactly what build are you actually trying to do? @last patio

[graceful stag]

I'm talking about my build

Tbh crit investment on a mace and two weapon types is spreading urself super thin

[thorn cargo]

I think my gear is capped, and the only option to gain better gear is to buy with divine orb

[thorn cargo]

Zamn

[snow sierra]

selfcraft

[coarse lake]

How does "struck through" work in terms of crit? It says it only boosts attack crit chance by 1%, but, I fail to see how that is useful as an end node, if true?

[thorn cargo]

I believe I'll need to learn about this

[rocky pilot]

it depends on what content you're in really. the current endgame for some reason by design gives pretty much zero worthwhile loot or metaprogression in any map under T10

The loot then explodes in value as you go above that. T15 maps i can make a divine if i go ham farming breach pretty easily

some people hyperfarm T14 as its cheaper and faster

and there was a bug with map drop chance

[thorn cargo]

[snow sierra]

super easy in poe find a base, check it with trasmut and argument. If is bad stash it, if not Regal, still good ? Ex it, and if you have bases stacked up 3 to 1 them

that is all the magic of craftig right now

[thorn cargo]

Lemme note this real quick

[rocky pilot]

it boosts base crit chance, the one on your weapon

[coarse lake]

Is it just a flat 1% or does it scale with the weapon chance somehow? I read in the only post I found that someone tested it and stated they somehow got about a 4% boost from it? Which, left me confused.

[rocky pilot]

you should google the path of exile wiki and read about critical

[coarse lake]

It's super confusing tbh

[rocky pilot]

it will explain how it works in detail

[coarse lake]

I've been trying to look into it. But there are a lot of different factors

[snow sierra]

I give you a example to craft that a spirit +2 minion amulett for example: you look for a blue one that has spirit or +2 minions, if you dont find it, stop there. If you have it Regal, if you dont hit the one you want in stash it gos, but IF you have insane rolls you can exalt orb these amuletts. But before exalting anything allways check if the stat you want is a prefix or a suffix and if you have one of thoese free

[last patio]

ok so we're getting things confused lol. Crossbow in main, and mace and shield in offhand. My plan is chronomancer CD resets on crossbow grenades combined with offhand hammer of the gods resets, so I can stack 2-3x as many grenades on top of the hammer spams, I was just telling him I was worried my hammer damage would be shit with not being able to take giant's blood with this build, 1. because I NEED shield charge for clear speed, 2. because I split 2 attributes. And my hammer damage might be shit because I don't have 2 handed mace damage because of the shield.

[atomic halo]

giants blood doesnt work with crossbow

oh

[rocky pilot]

please. we already went through this

[snow sierra]

so what i did to craft my amulett is , buy amuletts that had spirit on them and where blue and just spamm regals, and maybe on ex on them until i hit my minion stuff, and sold the other ones that where good rolled

[last patio]

high attack speed + high crit + high CD reset

[atomic halo]

aight mb

although you cant use giants blood on wep swap tree as well cuz its a keystone

[last patio]

yeah the message above this explains what I meant

[mental lake]

sorry if I'm spamming the same question, but can't find answer anywhere online for poe 2 😅

does the curse hexblast consumes affect its damage or do damage calculations happen after it consumes the curse?

[rocky pilot]

you definitely do not need shield charge.
Most damage on the tree is generic Two-handed damage not mace damage. so its not really a big deal.
Personally the build doesn't sound amazing but theres nothing really preventing you from doing it outside of stats.

If your worry is shield charge. the reality is you either stack some str to use giants blood or you don't. its really not a necessity, you just want it

[wet mango]

There are 3 types of mods, +/incr/more. + Is very valuable since it adds to the base values

[halcyon solar]

I instilled a map and now it seems to be gone? Where could it be after instilling or what might have gone wrong? Do you have to drag it out of the instill-UI?

[rocky pilot]

the real issue is going chronomancer. i don't see how you support crossbow on top of mace with that class. I also don't know why you'd do it instead of maybe Earthshatter or something

[snow sierra]

if you still have crafting questions just hit me up but i only have basic knowledge you can do stuff with essences but i didnt look into them so far

[thorn cargo]

Got it, thank you so much

Oh and do you think that Helm Breaker have a good skill gem? if you don't know about him I could send you the link

[last patio]

This is my reasoning on shield charge (and leap slam) https://youtu.be/2NJRUGYNIQI?si=lLVJUEQtQU3oJTSE&t=21

[analog gale]

are there any good blood mage builds?

[last patio]

like imagine how much slower you clear by just walking instead of stacking those movement skills

[hardy pine]

Hi there, is there any other source for iron grip other than irongrasp? The armor feels to be a too big sacrifice of defenses

[drifting cedar]

do ice crystals count as terrain?

[snow sierra]

but he is merc...if you are chrono your shield charge will constanlty reset

[rocky pilot]

i know the reason, but again its literally not a necessity. it is purely just your own choice.
if you wanna add a shield, eventually you stack enough str to use giants blood.

and that video is someone using blink which requires like 133 int. and just shield charge which anyone can use basically with any shield

the reality is your build is not feasibly going to be using blink or giants blood.
You're travelling coast to coast across the tree just to support that crossbow

well technically you can fit giants blood with good gear. you need about 520 str to fit a high level mace

and only like 90 dex or something to fit the highest tier crossbow

blink would be really tough

[drifting cedar]

go gemling legionnaire, do all the things, have a terrible kitchen sink build

its fun though

iron grip + iron will armor and str stack

[rocky pilot]

its the chronomancer hammer of the gods bait build

[drifting cedar]

o

[graceful stag]

They also wants crit in a 5% base chance

[drifting cedar]

well I can't talk because im on build 8 right now and doing orb of storms crossbow gemling

[rocky pilot]

i haven't seen him bring up crit again, im sure he can kind of tell its not possible

[graceful stag]

I'm doing it and I don't think my version is bait

[last patio]

Yeah I'm not gonna go blink, figured shield charge + leap slam would be enough alone. Obviously high mobility isn't a necessity but if you're already 1 shotting the screen spamming mobility skills 2x/3x's your clear speed, so it seems HIGHLY valuable

[rocky pilot]

its all a personal choice really

leap slam isn't even a mobility skill anymore. its incredibly slow

[graceful stag]

Yeah bro they're not like poe 1

[rocky pilot]

its just there to get warriors out of encirclements

[snow sierra]

How about you start with 1 shotting the screen

[graceful stag]

Theyre clunky and shit

[snow sierra]

and go from there

[graceful stag]

Stampede armor break clears the screen

And moves

[rocky pilot]

people walk now man. POE 2 is a game built Mage-first right now. Like 90% of the game is designed clearly with mages in mind, from sanctum down to mobility like Blink.
So don't worry too much about zooming around like crazy lol, most classes cannot do that

@last patio

[last patio]

am I mistaking stampede for shield charge?

[rocky pilot]

no. stampede is a different skill

its not very fast, but it moves and attacks

shield charge is a true movement skill technically, but stops on enemies

[graceful stag]

U dont need a mobility skill anymore

[rocky pilot]

yeah you really don't

[last patio]

I'm just spoiled from playing monk with ice strike + shattering palm. as long as there is an enemy on the edge of my screen I have inflinite blink spam

[graceful stag]

Youre playing slams

[rocky pilot]

ice strike range isn't even good

[graceful stag]

U dont get that really

[last patio]

brooo yes it is lmao

[rocky pilot]

it really isn't. the palms have some range though but mildly slow ASPD, but yeah most people don't have that kind of mobility. theres a reason why high MS boots are near a fortune right now

[spice hawk]

LOL MAGE IS CRAP compared to Witch, Ranger and Warrior.

[rocky pilot]

...

for one thing mage definitely includes witches. second this is a weird take. and wildly confusing to include warrior in there...

[snow sierra]

yes mage is not TIER 1 out of here go look at my tierlist

Like mage bottom tier lolol

[last patio]

I was just about to say isn't mage 50%+ of the ladder right now?

[rocky pilot]

Mage isn't even a class.. its an archetype

[last patio]

sorc whatever

[snow sierra]

its next to my diablo 4 class tierlist

[rocky pilot]

and yeah i think its more than 50%

[snow sierra]

you dont know anything !

[teal island]

Is "Struck Through" only +1% crit chance to attacks, or am I getting it wrong?

[rocky pilot]

almost the entire ladder are mages

[snow sierra]

if you cant tell im trollig

[rocky pilot]

base crit chance, before everything increases it. the same one on your weapon

[snow sierra]

Bow witch is so nice for leveling xD done nothing then pick travel notes for dex so far

[warped jackal]

Is this upgrade worth the 7k? im having a cold build

[snow sierra]

Its worth because of the level of cold gems

[umbral storm]

Does attack speed affect minions?

[snow sierra]

no

if it dos not say minion minion dos not get anything

[snow sierra]

gem level as a caster is the most important thing to scale while leveling

[warped jackal]

Okay thanks! than i will get it.

Maybe this sounds stupid, but is the +3 cold gem level like WAY better than 36% increased cold damage?

[snow sierra]

yes

like way way better, all increased from your tree/gear go on one pool, gem level or more acts as a value outside from that so its way stronger

[last patio]

just curious what makes you think it isn't feasible? getting constant resets on grenade skills AND having hammer spam seems like a shit load of damage. I just wanna make sure I don't respec into something stupid. the hammer builds I've seen all clear maps 2x as slowly as my monk, which is why I figured it needed a streaming supply of DPS that crossbow could offer

[lunar totem]

Is From Nothing like Impossible Escape, where you can't actually allocate the Keystone passive itself?

[last patio]

I feel like hammer spam could work better as supplemental damage

[rocky pilot]

its a bit more complicated. they're slower because yes, fundamentally the build just doesn't clear quickly. hammer of the gods isn't really made to do so and bleed prolif doesn't exist, and ignite prolif is dogwater/ignite is underperforming. so even variations don't add great clear to that big hit.

But grenades aren't just like free damage, they kind of take a bunch of nodes under the mercenary tree. thats several points when you're already spending a bunch to go into the warrior tree.

and you STILL have to solve defenses. its not impossible to do, its just getting giants blood usually takes an entire warrior tree just to achieve the 522+ str needed to wield a high level 2h mace.
Its gonna be even harder on a chrono tree spread so thin

[turbid mauve]

is there some unique that is a good idea to get beside Enfolding Dawn and Oaksworn for Infernalist/undead zoo?

[rocky pilot]

isnt there a unique helmet that increases all gem levels by 1?

[tawny flare]

I’m playing a home brew gas arrow ranger, dead eye, I took wind dancer for my spirit skill. What would be a good second choice? I don’t have the str for herald of ash

[rocky pilot]

gas arrow ranger as in poison? or just blowing it up?

[snow sierra]

oaksworn is nice, there are some funky options if you go ci

[rocky pilot]

if you're poison, every poison build should have Plague Bearer

[last patio]

depressing, but prob what I need to hear

[rocky pilot]

if you're blowing it up, dunno

[tawny flare]

Fire wall/gas arrow. Mainly exploding things

[snow sierra]

and there are these bottoms you can use for boss killing

[gilded nova]

Is there any high level Lightning Arrow that can help me a bit, particulary with gear - what to switch and what pieces I still need. I would pay.

[turbid mauve]

i don't really run anything poison... arsonists or any other minion does not have poison

[snow sierra]

Isnt cooldown at the moment bugged ? you can slot in just 6-7 Hammers of God and spamm them

since they are on a diffrent cd

[neat bison]

Cloak of flame has nice synergy with altered flesh from the ascendency

[tawny flare]

Maybe, yall know of a spirit buff that helps with mana or flask management? Lol my dmg is great but I find myself portaling back to town to hit the well to refill my mana

[snow sierra]

i like Ghostwrithe alot it makes high ES affortable, but kinda in conflict with some infernalist notes if you dont go CI

[rocky pilot]

Clarity support gem

and get a bit of mana regen/reduced cost on tree

[turbid mauve]

is it really workable since it does not have any spirit ?

[neat bison]

I’m in T15 with it rn

[snow sierra]

And Shavronnes belt and Midnight braid cane be super nice too

[pine sleet]

Is pierce support gem different or I’m still too early in acts

It doesnt give a number how many enemies does it pirece but only “an enemy” at level 1, does the pierce enemies increase by level?

[rocky pilot]

support gems don't level so what you see is what you get forever 😔

[last patio]

I do have reaaally high attack speed so maybe spamming the grenades + reset could make up for the lack of aoe and etc from grenade nodes >>

realizing I'm becoming desperate to build something that isn't cookie cutter meta haha

I feel like there's gotta be value SOMEWHERE in dual weapons

[wheat elk]

I need to lend someones brain to help me figure out a conundrum :D

[snow sierra]

like then test it out, but what ppl here are sayint is absolutly true if you do the poe noob mistake of wanting to use everything at once you can do nothing

[last patio]

and I'm determined to discover 1 single chronomancer build that isn't just mage or has slow clear

[snow sierra]

i dont play a mage 😛 i just play minions, but well minions kinda have slow clear

[turbid mauve]

thanks, i am currently approaching cruel and afraid picking non-spirit items (or replacing spirit with non-spirit variants)

[wheat elk]

@last patio Would Chronomancer with a bit of luck be able to spam Plasma Blast lol or is its cooldown unique?

Cause that would be funny

[neat bison]

I don’t use grim feast so I have more to spare

[spare reef]

Is it possible to have more than 2 blinks? I see other ppl spamming them, is that a bug or can it be possible with gems or items?

[snow sierra]

its fine i did t15/16 with Chrono, without Spirirt von Chest and Amulett, and no Spirit from infernalist ofc cause chrono with minions^^

[last patio]

plasma blast doesn't have a listed CD, but it says it loads 1 bolt per clip, I CAN reset emergy reload which has a 45s CD

is plasma blast really strong or something?

[wheat elk]

It has like a 1000% attack modifier lol

just feels like it would be funny to build around

[last patio]

lmao i just watchd it, if only it had more spread

this might actually be something tho

especially with time freeze

and the electricity with hammer of the gods...I mean thor's hammer, common

[wheat elk]

@last patio TBH ngl. I might do it iwth a Monk of Chayula lol

[last patio]

and I already have high attack speed with a lot of my nodes, so I could get it off more quickly

[wheat elk]

imagine hitting that jackpot with all the added chapods dsmage LOL

[snow sierra]

you can slot like 7 emergy reloads atm

and just use them one after another

[half frost]

Hello, new to the community, got two build questions, I am having trouble finding resources and barraging chat gpt isn't helping.

stormweaver sorc, using mind over matter, eldritch battery, chaos innoc, adverse growth combo with the midnight braid belt for more DR, I am trying to understand why taking % increase maximum energy shield passive nodes doesn't top my max mana up with the conversion, I was reading about casting mana buffer that in calcs outside of max mana? sounds strange.

[last patio]

oh god, this might actually be fun to make. I'm gonna scrap fire and go lightning

[old carbon]

? Why can i put gem in it ? savlinn shiled ?

[last patio]

do you know if emergency reload is strong enough to merit building around with resets?

why in the world does it have a 45 second CD?

[snow sierra]

eb conversion dos not work on % energy shield passive because it happens first

[last patio]

reloading doesn't take THAT long does it?

[half frost]

so it's a dead line unless it comes from the gears base es value*

[snow sierra]

yes or you have this amulett that gives you then again ES based on your mana

to get a big ES buffer

[half frost]

is that a unique ammy?

[last patio]

how do you get tailwind, what is that from?

[snow sierra]

yes the 1-2div i forgot what it called

like every archemage build wants to use that because its so good atm

[half frost]

ah ok, I am running a frost build still I love frostbolt spam 🙂

[snow sierra]

Archemage is a thingy that you run with any spell

[half frost]

archmage looks crazy though

yeah I use cast on freeze and elemental invocation currently

so the spirit is too much, maybe I should switch sometime and try it out

I know freeze and CoF got nerfed but I still feel like they go alright, the burst from a full invocation comet is fun

[tawny imp]

what are the passives/skills needed for the armor break explosion?

[half frost]

thanks for the replies btw

[wheat elk]

I so badly wanna run some form of elemental sniper build with Snipe and Plasma blast lol. Just one shot all the mobs.

[half frost]

so next question is how does heart of the storm factor into this mom eb combo for DR, I think from testing I am getting a mana gen boost when it procs as there isn't anything else in my build that should do that

[snow sierra]

thats the recoup from ele dmg right ?

[half frost]

yes but it recoups es

[snow sierra]

Its just a bonus on top if you run ES

[wheat elk]

Like deadeye can use 2 marks. Those 2 elemental marks with the elemental explosions + Snipe or plasma blast sounds fun lol

[half frost]

so it wouldn't convert at all for if I am using the eb mom combo?

[elder spade]

can someone explain this to me in a caveman language

[half frost]

well, you've saved me some dead asc points, thankyou friend

I shall stick to mana gen and max mana I guess

[elder spade]

does this drain my mana faster or what? i dont get it
not native english speaker

[snow sierra]

you leech ( a mechanik depending on your dmg ) 7% of Physical attack damage (Attacks, that do phys dmg, so lighting arrow would be out for example) as Mana, you gain that value as mana. For that do conisder is leech happens over a inverall of time i dont know i think it was 2 sec, and mobs have leech resisteance so it wont be flat 7%

[last patio]

does anyone know why emergency reload has a 45s CD? is it really strong?

@rocky pilot What do you think of a rotation between plasma blast and hammer of the gods via emergency reload? + herald of thunder and lightning influsion on hammer

[granite geyser]

I need help

how many passive point do we get as bonus in total in the game?

24?

[neat bison]

Yea

[granite geyser]

or 23

[neat bison]

24

[granite geyser]

thanks
