2┃build-planning

[snow sierra]

24 and your build should be functional with level 70-80 and noeed need all points

[granite geyser]

i need to move my tree and it break my head 😄

[snow sierra]

My rule for my trees at the moment is if i am hitting 100 points spend its pushing the limit of what is fun for a build to function

[shy oxide]

Can you cast a curse on a monster who is within your blasphemy aura? or does the aura count as a curse towards the 1 curse limit?

[snow sierra]

blasphemy applyed curses count as curses for all purposes

so for the limit too

[shy oxide]

okay, thank you. What about hexblast, im assuming that would not work on blasphemy? not sure

[snow sierra]

you cant slot hexblast into blasphemy but you can hexblades unlimited if you run plasphemy

because of that nearly all hexblast builds use blasphemy so they dont have to curse yourself

[shy oxide]

right that makes sense, thank you for the help!

[pearl sluice]

does fire wall dmg on bonestorm work even if u have brutality support? or the visuals there, but theres no actual dmg

[snow sierra]

I think it could, because its the firewall doing dmg

but not sure on that sorry

[errant sentinel]

hello i need help... i have a problem... why blasphemy and cast of freeze ( both spirit gems ) when i put it for use says " missing socketed skill "

[snow sierra]

cause you have to put a skill into these

that you want to be cast, for blasphemy a curse that you want as aura

[errant sentinel]

lok

look*

[snow sierra]

yes i look

clearly missing the curse

[errant sentinel]

how i put it ? i dont know how

[snow sierra]

take the curse gem

put it into one of the support sokets

[errant sentinel]

im ussing this guide https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/fireball-blood-mage-leveling-guide#passives-header

sorry about my english... im from argentina

[snow sierra]

i dont know what the guide should have to do with your curse problem

[spiral jasper]

What is better for a Fire DPS using mostly a skill converts 80% physical to fire?
a. Gain 12% of physical damage as extra Fire damage
b. 15% increased damage and 10% fire resistance penetration

edit: weapon is ONLY physical

[snow sierra]

i think the gain cause its more

pen is capped and increased is very little

[atomic halo]

pen might be better against tanky rares and map bosses

[snow sierra]

or if you dont use a curse to get rid o res

[spiral jasper]

It is?? what is it cap at?

[snow sierra]

0

[atomic halo]

it doesnt go negative

so the cap is however much res the enemy has

[errant sentinel]

now cast on freeze dont let me use it

[atomic halo]

which in the case of most enemies, besides tanky rares and bosses is 0

[spiral jasper]

Then, how "resistant" are enemies that have those kind of modifiers (rare/magic variants)?

[snow sierra]

cast on freez needs the skill it should cast too and you need 120 spirit to use both

[errant sentinel]

oohhh ok

i have 130 spirit

now blasphemy is active... but cast of feeze not

[acoustic island]

How do I add rune sockets to magic staffs?

[snow sierra]

rightlick it

to activate it

[peak dawn]

Can you re-instill an amulet that's been instilled before? Curious because I want to throw something on my amulet in the short term as the long term instill is a lot more expensive

[feral flame]

which one of thes two are better ? planning to use an exalted orb on one

[neat bison]

Wands, Sceptres and Staves don’t get sockets

[snow sierra]

i think both are bad ? if you looking for a strong weapon

[feral flame]

i mean im in act 2 atm

[snow sierra]

still

[peak dawn]

Yeah neither are good, right is generally better but depends on the build

I would just wait and keep checking vendors

[snow sierra]

what makes a strong weapon is having "phys flat" and "phys %" combined

[peak dawn]

1ex is a lot for act 2, I don't recommend wasting it on the first yellow you see xd

[snow sierra]

for 1ex you can just buy a way better weapon from the marked

[feral flame]

i see , thanks im playing a wtich hunter not focusing on grenades just shooting arrows still not sure what skill ill pick as my main skill

[feral flame]

ah okay

[acoustic island]

Aww thats no fun lol got a god roll staff and wanted to really beef it up

Only staff close to it on trade is like 180 exalted

[peak dawn]

What are stats?

[acoustic island]

I've also got +119 max mana on it

[peak dawn]

I mean it's good, not 180ex lol, maybe a couple

[acoustic island]

I'm boss deleting in cruel with it

[snow sierra]

its like 5-10ex at best

[acoustic island]

Really? Damn

[peak dawn]

5 is pushing it

[acoustic island]

Inflation i guess

[peak dawn]

I was gonna say 2-3

[snow sierra]

oh its a staff

its 1 ex

[atomic halo]

it doesnt take much to delete bosses in cruel

[peak dawn]

65% spell dmg is bad

[snow sierra]

i thought its a 1h

[peak dawn]

I have 50% spell dmg on wand so 100% spell dmg on staff minimum is "good"

[acoustic island]

I didn't want to re roll and have it get rid of +4 to cold spell skills

[last patio]

does attack speed effect reload speed?

[acoustic island]

And knowing my luck corrupting it would delete the whole lot lol

[snow sierra]

just play with it until you feel like you need dmg

and buy a better one then

[peak dawn]

I don't think corrupting can delete items anymore

[snow sierra]

for leveling its fine

corrupting can totaly brick you item still

[acoustic island]

My dmg output is quite high, around 100k dmg in a couple hits when boss is frozen

[peak dawn]

Pretty sure it either adds new socket, rerolls stats, do nothing or something else I don't remember

poe1 it definitely could delete and was funny to see

[acoustic island]

Vaal orbs cant add rune sockets to staffs can they? Lol

[snow sierra]

Well it can still totaly change the stats so you might aswell delete it

[peak dawn]

Even if they could it wouldn't do anything, no runes give benefits to staffs

but no

[acoustic island]

Ah gotcha

[peak dawn]

Anyone know if you can re-instill an amulet that's been instilled already?

[snow sierra]

i dont know what yo mean by instill

[peak dawn]

I mean... instilling?

[snow sierra]

if you mean anoint or whats it called yes

[peak dawn]

Yes, it's called instilling xd

[snow sierra]

yes you can redo that as far as i am aware

i only know that as annointing ^^

[neat bison]

All the anointments I’m interested in cost way too much

It hurts

[peak dawn]

Yeah it looks like you can, menu still shows I can instll after instilling

[snow sierra]

yep i did pick a bad one for now because of that

its so expensive

[peak dawn]

Yeah they do but I found a cheap one that gives me some free stats so figured I'd use it

3ex for +5% max mana and +30 mana

[snow sierra]

ye i did the same

[rough kelp]

if you have increased maximum life% on a gear but no flat do it increase from your max hp?

[atomic halo]

yes

its a global increase

[granite geyser]

omg, i changed my tree, then went testing and i was like it is the same why? then i see that the mobs have 30% res in all... wow

[atomic halo]

there's no such thing as local life becuase the flat is a global increase, it doesn't affect a base stat of the item

[rough kelp]

oh so even if I have flat it would still increase max I see

[granite geyser]

i got a 30% boost justr by moving my tree around

[spare reef]

for srs and arconist build, does crit and accuracy matter to them?

[snow sierra]

no

[neat bison]

Accuracy matters for the spirits

Not arsonists

[snow sierra]

early on the accuracy note can be good

[neat bison]

Yea

You can basically solve it with enough + level to minions

[snow sierra]

ye

[spare reef]

ah welp, i invested a lot on crit to them, rip. So they dont matter as well?

[spare reef]

ahhh gotcha

[neat bison]

Well their base crit is just really low

[snow sierra]

Well it still gives dmg but its like premimum points

if you have all minion dmg you can reach and still want more

you take those because its a rly small diffrence

[spare reef]

gotcha

[granite geyser]

I dunno it feel like a lot

[snow sierra]

Well its not math aint mathing

[granite geyser]

it is a low chance yes, but with 4 arsonist each trowing 3 thing it crit a lot

It melt boss

in t13

[snow sierra]

and so dos every minion build

i dont have them and i melt bosses at t16 ? dos this fact tell us anything about the value of my choises

[granite geyser]

my set is worth 12 ex

😄 does it help?

[snow sierra]

No

Like the math dos not worth out with this crit notes

they are low value for your dmg

[pearl sluice]

Hey guys, so, I'm doing the melee witch run, going through str/int focusing on firs damage, I'll get avatar of fire and try to get the fire conversion to 100%.
That would mean that even ice spells would ignite right?
There's some item that I should look for?
Till now the build is going good, I'm at act2 going through Keth, I'm doing Witch as a Battlemage.

[snow sierra]

if you wanna do feels crafting sure, but they aint that good

[wheat elk]

Someone lend me their brain

What are some extreme high variance high risk high reward skills?

I wanna try something

and I need all the variance

physical variance

so not lightning spells

[median kraken]

Yes, fire damage can always ignite whether a skill has innate fire damage or you convert to it

[wheat elk]

Or even just super high damage attacks like Plasma Blast

[native cargo]

any spark sorcs? what distilled passive are u using?

[snow sierra]

Well hamemr time maybe ?

[median kraken]

Yeah, Hammer of the Gods Chrono seems high variance

[snow sierra]

ye

[pearl sluice]

So ice wall, sunder, big boom, ignite, it'll be cool

[last patio]

can someone with experience with emergency reload tell me if giving it CD resets would be strong/worthwhile?

[wheat elk]

Nah, I wanna go memey and use Chayula monk with Heft support and Ryslathas coil and put my Faith that Chayula will smite my enemy

[snow sierra]

if you know what you wanna do why ask ?

[weak mountain]

for ranger deadeye which of the orok poisons is the best buff

[atomic halo]

lol

[wheat elk]

Because my question was asking about the skills with the highest physical attack :P

that I dont know

[median kraken]

You can also ignite with non-fire damage using one of the infernalist nodes

[snow sierra]

Still hammer of gods its the highst hitting attack

[wheat elk]

Alright

[snow sierra]

i know of

[wheat elk]

thank you!

[hearty grotto]

what are the best witch uniques for alt leveling and finishing campaign fast?

[median kraken]

Personally I've been going frost wall fireball, which gives a big boom not in the form of one big explosion but just fireballs completely covering the screen

[median kraken]

A +3 Lifesprig can last you through the whole campaign

[wheat elk]

Ah ye, hammer of the gods is perfect, thank you

[snow sierra]

i have a few good bows and gaze and walkers

that works too leveling my witch atm^^

raidiant grief and corpswalker combo is kinda troll

[last patio]

ooooh emergency reload gives 30% MORE damage not increased. No wonder it has a 45s CD

ok fuck it, i'm gonna give this build a go

[snow sierra]

good luke i hope it works and is cool

[last patio]

hopefully not having reload nodes won't ruin it

[snow sierra]

ive seen some merc abuse the 6 time cd tech so its strong for sure strong enough for a build thats on you to find out

[azure granite]

Can someone explain the darkness mechanics please

For monk

[atomic halo]

you're more likely to get an answer if your question is more specific

[median kraken]

You basically replace your spirit with a shield that scales with level and recharges when you don't take damage for 10 seconds

[neat bison]

10 seconds huh

Sounds rough

[snow sierra]

anyone here plays infernalist as a pure caster ?

[azure granite]

Just starting to put it together but ya

[snow sierra]

And can tell me if the doggo survives later on without points into minion hp ?

[azure granite]

So it's just a damage shield?

[pearl sluice]

That's nice too, tho, I'll be using almost only fire damage for the flavour lol

[azure granite]

I don't use doggo. Doggo is minion lol

[snow sierra]

its 20% less dmg...so would be kinda nice to have that

[median kraken]

I'm doing the opposite, I'm converting my fireball to cold so I can freeze everything

[median kraken]

Initially it's just a damage shield, there's another node that makes it also give you damage

[pearl sluice]

The Raging spirit will do considerable damage without minions nodes and with critical and fire nodes? I know they're immortal, but I don't know how it's scalling works

[drifting cedar]

minions only scale with things that say minion

even if a minion does fire damage, getting increased fire damage only affects you, not the minion

[pearl sluice]

Lol, that's nice too, my first characters is a monk/cold mage, it's really cool to make a complete fortress of ice appears and in a blink you destroy everything

[last patio]

i'm seeing conflicting posts about attack speed reducing reload speed. Can anyone help?

[azure granite]

How does it give you damage? Like just a passive buff?

Not sure what nodes to take

[drifting cedar]

attack speed does not reduce reload time. I don't know about skill speed

[azure granite]

I took the chaos for now. Want to lean into chaos and lightning

[last patio]

ty

[median kraken]

I haven't played the ascendancy but I think the darkness nodes are weird and risky since you give up spirit for them

[last patio]

does lightning damage contribute to electrocute at all?

or is it strictly skills with electrocute build up

[median kraken]

Not by default, you need something that lets it

[drifting cedar]

certain skills, or unique gloves, or a support gem

[median kraken]

I think most things that give electrocute build up only give it to lightning

[last patio]

ok thanks

[drifting cedar]

there's at least a quiver that gives chaos electrocute

[ashen mica]

how do i put support gems on blasphemy

[last patio]

I'm gonna try CD reset chronomancer with plasmablast + emergency reload resets, and hammer of the gods in offhand. Think it could be viable?

[drifting cedar]

Maybe? but I question doing plasma blast and hammer of the gods in one build

they kinda do the same thing

usually you want to pair either with a fast clearspeed skill

[azure granite]

But why do you need spirit

[last patio]

are you able to constantly spam hammer with the resets or is there often downtime? I assumed that using both together would keep damage flowing and make it less clunky. the chrono hammer builds i've seen are slow af

[drifting cedar]

yeah this is what I mean; to make chrono or plasma less clunky you need to set them up as payoffs / only needed for bosses or big rares

if you're using plasma as your main skill you're going to die a lot

lot of standing still

[last patio]

then maybe electric amunition + emergy reload resets will make up for that?

[feral flame]

can someone explain exactly what this node does im a bit confused ? like do i need to keep swapping crossbow bolts to benifit from this ?

[drifting cedar]

what is electric ammunition

[last patio]

god what I'd do for some armor nodes

[drifting cedar]

yes, sort of. if you're just using 1 type of ammo you still get the 25%

its actually a pretty solid node if you use 2 different bolt types in your build consistently

[feral flame]

wait really ? can you actually explain now how this work ?

im mostly just using galvanic shot for now

but im not realllly switching bots

[drifting cedar]

so you've used 1 type of ammunition in the past 10 seconds, always. so thats 25%

[feral flame]

i see

[drifting cedar]

if you, for example, set up a plasma blast payoff skill with elecrocute or something, as an example, then the plasma blast will get 50%

[feral flame]

yeah im mostly going for a crossbow bolt build instead of a grenade one

[drifting cedar]

because you'd have used galvanic then plasma blast, so 2 types

[feral flame]

i see

what is the maximum % of boost i can get 50 % ?

[drifting cedar]

i mean, thats going to be capped more by reload speed

you could in theory reload a bunch of different bolts and fire them one by one

but your dps would be atrocious

[sharp warren]

Wich spell should i pair with storm wave on a level 22 monk? all the other spells seem kinda bad compared to it

[feral flame]

i see yeah true , so the damage boost only stays up for 10 shots ? then resets ?

[drifting cedar]

10 seconds

[feral flame]

oohhh okay

[drifting cedar]

actual spell or attack?

[feral flame]

gotcha thank you

[sharp warren]

Idk wdym

im new

[azure granite]

I'm going chaos

But monk isn't for spells as much

[drifting cedar]

spells are different from attacks. attacks use weapons and require accuracy, spells are not tied to any weapon and dont use accuracy

lightning spell = stuff like spark, storm wave is an attack

but since I guess you likely mean attack, tempest bell

drop bell on target, use storm wave to hit bell + target

[sharp warren]

Okay thanks

So a combo between Storm Wave and Tempest Bell is enough for now?

[azure granite]

Also idk names I'm at work but the one where you build a charge

[eternal talon]

Storm wave is terrible with tempest bell

[azure granite]

Then use the initial lightning slam

All great

[wicked merlin]

So I am at the point on my monk where I am working towards the quarterstaff skills, spectral ward or subterfuge mask. Which do you think is the larger priority? I am at level 78

[heady flower]

What should you Instill on Amulett with Lightning Stellweaver Build for max Mana / Energyshield?

[azure granite]

He didn't say spam it at the bell

But it's something you want on your bar

[last patio]

shockburst rounds or galvanic shards? emergency reload gives 30% more damage, lasts 6 seconds by default, reset the CD for another 6 seconds, then 33% chance to not consume it, it would be up frequently no? + I can reset a few voltaic/shock grenades for electrocute/stun buildup which would buy time for plasmablast? + I will have high attack speed which should solve plasmablast I imagine

I really want there to be something here lol

[stone agate]

What gems are best to use with sigil of power?

[gritty summit]

Is there a way to check the skill gem requirements for each level? On PoE2DB perhaps?

[last patio]

and any downtime I have in this setup I can spam hammer

[tawny imp]

Anyone else notice the vitality support skill not activating? I have it on herald of ash and it's supposed to give me 1% hp regen per second but I've tested it and don't see the regen...

[last patio]

more importantly, is it possible to make a crossbow build work without using crossbow specific passive nodes?

[eternal talon]

Is your herald of ash turned on

[tawny imp]

It is

[drifting cedar]

oh, sure. there's plenty of good two handed weapon, generic elemental, specific elemental nodes where you could do it

[eternal talon]

Because spirit support gems cost extra spirit so if you don't have enough putting it on the skill turns it off

[tawny imp]

Yep I made sure of that, it's on and I get the herald effect

But no regen

[last patio]

can you see what I described for the build as feasible? I don't want to RELY on hammer of the gods, I want it for downtown/supplementation

[tawny imp]

If someone can test the vitality support and lmk if it's working for them that would be great

[last patio]

I imagine galvanic shards by itself will be enough to clear out anything that isn't rare/unique

[drifting cedar]

all of that makes sense to me. Where does hammer of the gods fit in here? Are you going to ignite with it or something? your plasma blasts are already giant chunks

[last patio]

and I can time freeze and temporal rift for time for plasma blast

[eternal talon]

It seems to work fine to me, although I have it on into the breach which costs no spirit

[last patio]

are you saying it's overkill to chain 2 of each 1 after another vs rare/uniques?

I'm really hoping the high attack/skill speed will solve plasma blast being slow

[tawny imp]

It may be bugged with this particular skill then

[drifting cedar]

its more that I'm confused at doing both when they are all long, slow skills that do large damage. does hammer do noticeably higher damage than plasma blast if you aren't doing bleed/ignite with it? just keep plasma blasting

or better yet, put hourglass on your plasma blast

[shut spruce]

What is the hit cap for spark?

[last patio]

I have no experience with chrono skill resets, so I'm assuming that I can't spam either of these skills like auto attacks, I just assumed having both would allow for persistent use back and forth between them

[heady flower]

?

[last patio]

Especially with high attack speed

[stone agate]

any good gems recommendation for Sigil of Power?

[drifting cedar]

You can't spam either like auto attacks, but for different reasons

Using chronomancer to do big plasma blasts makes sense to me if you're using emergency reload. Its not like reloading is why plasma blast is slow, but it does do more damage so, fair enough

what makes less sense to me is then using hammer of the gods unless it does massively more damage than a non-emergency reloaded plasma blast

[last patio]

well I was assuming it WOULD lol

I'm hoping the full rotation would be enough for any boss

Sorry, I probably just need to test it or have experience with those skills to see where I'm being dumb lol

[drifting cedar]

It might work! I don't know. Going to be hard to scale both on a chronomancer.

a lot more scaling options around witch for skills with built in lightning conversion

[last patio]

was hoping going 50% crit might solve that haha

[drifting cedar]

If it was me, I'd go all in on plasma blasting with hourglass + emergency reload, then use regular lightning crossbow skills for clear / downtime

[snow sierra]

God infernal flame is worse then i thought...

[brazen verge]

Hi! please help me understand: does this apply to all the damage I do with my crossbow skill "galvanic rounds" or only some part of it? (I mean the bolts turn into lighting beams after hitting targets, right? so do the beams also have increased dmg?)

[spare quartz]

What should i be looking for in a quiver for poison ranger besides physical damage?

[last patio]

I'll prioritize that, tho I figured they both scale off the same thing, crits/attack damage

[drifting cedar]

yeah, true, but both are also on extremely low crit bases and there's a large lack of generic attack damage in the north side of the tree

[snow sierra]

can you even make use of infernal flame without getting max fire res high ?

[last patio]

I never considered the skill crit bases T_T

hope that's not gonna screw me

[snow sierra]

bloodmage can set crit base to 15% 😛

[drifting cedar]

not skill crit bases, weapon type

[brazen verge]

can somebody help me with this please? it's a yes or no question 🙂

[snow sierra]

but i doubt you wanna play that

[last patio]

oh!

[drifting cedar]

thats only spells, not attacks

[slow gate]

if you instil an amulet with a notable you already have, do they stack?

[drifting cedar]

no

[slow gate]

ayt thx

[snow sierra]

lol i thought its all things, that makes bloodmage even worse

[neat bison]

I’m using cloak of flame and I still don’t wish to try, the bonuses for infernal flame just aren’t that good

[drifting cedar]

bloodmage is fantastically strong, there are several just insane builds for it

[median kraken]

It applies to all elemental damage the skill does. It won't apply to any physical damage it does. If you mean galvanic shards, then that skill converts 40% of physical damage to lightning on the initial hit and 100% for the chain lightning. So if your base damage is all physical (e.g. you're using a phys weapon), it'll scale the part of the projectiles that gets converted, and all the damage from the chain lightning. If you have any base elemental damage (from your weapon or other gear) it'll apply to that too

[sharp warren]

Wich support gems with tempest bell on lightning monk with storm wave?

[spare garnet]

Does Chaos Inoculation (set max hp to 1) work with Event Horizon (lose 3% hp & es on chaos skill use) or does it insta kill you?

[median kraken]

I think effects like that normally round up and kill you in PoE but not sure

[brazen verge]

thanks very much!

[sage tulip]

does projectile damage passives on the passive tree also boost lightning damage ?

[last patio]

So I've found both weapons can roll 10% crit chance with modifiers. Then there's a node to the east that gives +1% crit chance putting it at 11. Which should at least be enough for me to get 45% crit chance on both, but I also don't know where to find the skill's base crit, I'm hoping those skills are comparable to monk skills for crits X_X

[median kraken]

If the lightning damage is from a projectile, yes

[kindred plank]

Going to be hitting 58 soon and would like to look at Archmage Spark. Is there a mana count I should be before swapping over? Playing Fireball/Frost Wall right now

[sage tulip]

ok thank you I just didn't want to have to spread all over the passive tree trying to get increased lighting damage. I am trying to do a lightning merc build but all the builds I see are all over the passive tree map

[last patio]

most all of the damage nodes are like this, so if I'm gonna do this crit is basically mandatory

[lavish barn]

If I were to make a fire witch, is it viable to not use minions and pick basically only fire skills? New to POE and I’m not sure if that would be gimping myself into a suboptimal playstyle

[last patio]

• crit and CD reset is like the ultimate gamble build haha

[neat bison]

You can build spellcaster with demon form, don’t necessarily need to use fire skills

[lavish barn]

Is there any benefit to doing so?

[neat bison]

Minimal

[snow sierra]

well that didnt work out...i done goofed my build is bricked xD

[heady flower]

?☹️

[lavish barn]

Gotcha, so I should probably branch out into the frost and lightning then. Should I spec into health as well? I was trying to max shield but I saw the infernal witch scales things off of your health instead.

[neat bison]

You could, I think demon form technically would prefer the lowest health pool possible though

It’s a tricky mechanic

[lavish barn]

Hmmm

[snow sierra]

Turns out 5% leech is rly nothing :x

[neat bison]

You can totally not pick demon form and just reserve like 50% life and go MOM or something

[snow sierra]

Or ES

dam anyone got idea how fix this ? my plan was using infernal flame to not have mana issues and use these :

but well turns out 5% leech is not a lot

[neat bison]

Yeah leech kind of sucks

My condolences

[snow sierra]

so i guess no way to substain those gloves

[neat bison]

No clue honestly

[snow sierra]

mh i could stack recoup and use the gloves to transfer the life to energy shield

Still the problem with infernal flame hitting like a truck

[last patio]

does this modifier mean you have to reload 2x less frequently for plasma blast?

[snow sierra]

dos degen interrupt recharge ?

so if i have a mechanic that cost me 5% of my ES per second, could i balance my energy shield recharge that i never reaches max, considering i never get hit ?

[static plinth]

There's no sources of damage taken as fire besides Altered Flesh and Cloak of Flame, right?

[static plinth]

Yes, only Sacrificing doesnt interrupt recharge afaik

Damage and Loss both interrupt it

[serene arch]

Is there a penalty for choosing a weapon that's not "for" the selected class? I have specced into projectile and crit, hitting for 8k on my bow with my ranger. A crossbow of the same item level only hits for 2,6k. Even if I swap for a blue bow, it hits way harder

[static plinth]

You load 2 plasma blasts instead of 1, assuming thats what you mean

[last patio]

ok fantastic, tytyty

[static plinth]

No, its likely a difference in Skills, weapon stats, or passive tree

[neat bison]

No but your starting point on the skill tree could be a disadvantage depending on your plan

[winged topaz]

Should i be looking for increased rarity on every piece of gear?

[last patio]

I'm really hoping high attack speed will be enough to make plasma blast worth it

[static plinth]

It has a minimum 2 second attack time so, probably not

[serene arch]

Its projectile damage weirdly, nearly all of my skills should apply to both :/

[tight zenith]

does anyone know if % increased spell damage applies separately to % increased chaos damage ? or would they just add together for one % increase ?

[last patio]

oh snap, so you can't even save it with atk speed T_T

[static plinth]

Its a great ignite skill, or nuclear bomb to instantly kill magic and maybe rare monsters, but its unlikely to be awesome for normal damage

[static plinth]

They add together

[static plinth]

I think you can make it faster than that with increased action speed, ie via the unique that inverts Chill's effect on you to make you faster

[snow sierra]

Recharge ends on getting hit right ? No on getting dmg on the resource that is recharging ?

[static plinth]

It ends when you take damage to the recharging resource

[snow sierra]

so if i would make my life recharge that would never end ?

[static plinth]

So if you recharge life, damage to ES wont interrupt it

[tight zenith]

thanks ^^

[last patio]

that's nuts. hopefully 2s isn't too long to make it as a primary skill with chronomancer resets

[snow sierra]

So if i use and life recharge the life recharge could substain those ?

[last patio]

I plan to reset emergency reload to allow me to spam plasma blast

[static plinth]

Yeah, that should work

[snow sierra]

nice gotta test it good thing there is a chest that gives recharge

[frail finch]

Does the frost strike monk spec into str or dex? The gothic staff is physical right?

[carmine thicket]

Is emergency reload any good

[static plinth]

Ideally youd use Eternal Youth but yeah thats an easier way to test than speccing into EY

[snow sierra]

ah dam dosnt work^^

[static plinth]

Thats shitty

[snow sierra]

dam i want a way to substain those gloves

[tulip fog]

anyone know how this works? can an enemy be "in my presence" when i apply the bleed and still get it aggravated? or do they need to leave and then come back?

[static plinth]

They need to leave and come back iirc, the flavor text of the unique also alludes to this

[tulip fog]

dangit

it wouldnt be so bad if the unique armor that aggravates bleeding didnt have trash defensive stats

trying to find other ways to aggravate it

[static plinth]

Is there no Aggravate on the tree in 2?

[tulip fog]

only for attacks or if you crit, oh and also if you heavy stun

and low chance

[static plinth]

Youre doing Bloodmage Bleed i assume if attacks arent an option?

[jade viper]

What should i use my first level 2 support gem on? witch skeleton minion fire posion?

[tulip fog]

yup

[static plinth]

Crit seems like your best option then

[tulip fog]

well im exploring options outside bloodmage

to be clear

to see if its possible

[bright urchin]

is there a way to make it auto swap like mace strike from 2h to 1h on weapon swap or do I actually need 2 buttons?

[timid pulsar]

Does the passive Archmage, add lightning damage to corpse explosions fire damage only, or the 20% hp dmg as well?

im wondering if it's worth it

[edgy solstice]

Getting wiped in HC 💀

[edgy solstice]

Use the respective skills to each weapon

[twin oar]

I've dropped a nearly max roll black sun crest helm, is there any good attribute stacking build I can use it for?

[edgy solstice]

You can modify it

Unless you using the skills on both weapon

[static plinth]

If you have an infinite stockpile of cash, combine Pillar of The Caged God and Hand of Wisdom and Action

[snow sierra]

is there a good way to generate/spend endurance change with cast ?

i dont think there is right ?

[static plinth]

You can use Resonance to change power charges gained to endurance charges

[halcyon solar]

do the Monster modifiers in an Expadition stack for all unearthed packs or are those only for the Monsters from a particular node/detonation?

[static plinth]

Only a particular detonation chain

[halcyon solar]

thanks ❤️

[sacred warren]

can you pierce and chain? if not, which one prioritizes if you have both?

[static plinth]

Order of operations is

Split -> Pierce -> Fork -> Chain

[twin oar]

What do I do with them though? Just a monk?

[static plinth]

Gemling, probably, since that doubles the inherent stat bonuses from attributes

[young lintel]

That's not the infinite pile. Combine both those with ingenuity and astramentis.

Entry fee for howa is like 7 divs

Those are about 140 combined.

[static plinth]

Is that 140 even including the rare gear with attributes

[halcyon solar]

Do i have to place all 19 (in my case) Detonators at once in a Expedition map?

[young lintel]

I have 500 all attributes without ingenuity right now.

[gilded nova]

Can someone explain this Node to me?
You evade all, but Guide says you still need to get as much Evasion as possible?

[young lintel]

Yes. Once you detonate you don't get to place any more bombs.

[lucid glade]

If spark is all the talk rn I might switch to it from a fireball/icewall sorc, realistically what would I need to change besides my bracelets ? I'm already mana stacking so besides changing ice nodes to lightning nodes, what else ?

[halcyon solar]

allright, thanks

[young lintel]

All hits means area of effect slams. The circles on the ground.

[static plinth]

Normally you cannot evade AoE attacks. Acrobatics allows you to, but removes 70% of your evasion stat, meaning you need around 3x the normal evasion to max your chances

[young lintel]

Without that node circles kill you.

[gilded nova]

A node is a bit confusing tho...as a new player "all hits" (hits) someone punches you - so basically I wouldn't get hit at all from physical damage, but I would get hit by spells 😮 hmm

[neat bison]

The game defines the underlined terms if you click on them

[gilded nova]

I know, but not this one - not for "Hits"

[neat bison]

I suppose not on that specific node for some reason

but it definitely does on others

for hits

“Any damage that isn’t damage over time”

There you go

[wooden dew]

Hey is there build (even an off meta but viable one) that would use cold or bone spells but also minions? Not fire and not pure minionless caster

[halcyon solar]

Are the Excavation chests only from the nodes with like Armor or Weapons on them and not from the ones with the modifiers?

[spare atlas]

Stupid question, but is there a way to see skill node requirements? Trying to get the rage one for warrior and it only says requirements not met

[neat bison]

You mean like support gems?

5 of the related attribute per

Think it gives relevant info on bottom of skills menu

[ashen plume]

any way around bone storms charge up time? Can only think of extra projectiles and cast time

[proven rapids]

Yeah cast time

Cast speed I mean

And skill speed

[woeful chasm]

why do i have more dps with the one on the right?

[ashen plume]

extra projectiles means less of need to charge fully for bone storm i find

[woeful chasm]

left picture is with the bow on the left and right is with the bow on the right

[young lintel]

More flat elemental damage.

[woeful chasm]

ah i see, it had 61% more elem dmg before i corrupted it incase that helps

[versed wren]

You have 76 top end on the left and 91 on the right

[lyric helm]

does the quality of a spell socketed into a meta gem matter? like if I increase quality of comet here will the bonus apply when it's triggered by barrier invocation?

[young lintel]

Yes

[proven rapids]

Quality matter

[lyric helm]

nice, thanks both

[woeful chasm]

so i should use the one on the right, right?

[proven rapids]

Right

[versed wren]

For now you can use the one on the right.
Sooner once u get deeper in your Passive tree where u specialice in "physical" / Thunder for example one will be better if u stack one element bla bla

[snow sierra]

how do runes work ? If i have a base with lets say 50 energy shield and there is 300% energy shield on that, and i slot 2 % energy shield runes is it then 340% so nearly nothing ? Or is it (50x300%)*40% ?

[versed wren]

If i remember correctly its not multipliable so it would be 340% not ((50 x 300) 40)

[snow sierra]

so its super bad if the base dos not have alot

Like in the case of morior invictus

[versed wren]

Or you got a passive tree where u double X from chest piece or something silly like that

[snow sierra]

this thing dos not work like it should or dos nearly nothing, it gives me 200 energy shield or something

and i have 10k overall ^^

[summer sun]

Is there any good duo composition?

[cinder river]

I have a bug where im trying to setup dual weapon builds, but now all my skills are gone, I cant bind any to any buttons.

Im using a mixture of Demon form with hexblast

And Detonate Dead with minions (for weapons) but after making that change, all my skills are gone, the gems are there, but skills selection slots are empty.

[halcyon solar]

Are the Excavation chests only from the nodes with like Armor or Weapons on them and not from the ones with the modifiers?

[snow sierra]

demon form makes your weapons go away so it may contribut to your problem

[versed wren]

Tested it on a builder quickly and yes its all together so it does work as it should

[snow sierra]

thanks^^

[versed wren]

100 flat +50 +80% + 20% = 300
but it comes out as 299 cause of quality

[snow sierra]

so Morior Invictus is kinda crap^^

atleast for using these runes

[tender harbor]

I know Damage over time doesn’t crit but yall said the first hit of ed/contagion crits? Also is chaos bolt considered when it comes to CoC?

[versed wren]

You have to remember there are passives like this.
not sure if energy got one tho

Reason they can be good

[neat bison]

There’s one for ES on helmet

70%

[versed wren]

Not exactly sure how these work cause it says 100% but its not really atleast not all modifiers.
Without it with a chest that is 1127 evastion i got 3287 and with it it goes up to 3805 total

So it seems to skip some modifier haha

https://tenor.com/view/leonardo-dicaprio-clapping-clap-applause-amazing-gif-9187312989697802685

[snow sierra]

this is kinda shit tho like i said i seems to do nearly nothing

[tender harbor]

Is chaos bolt considered a spell or attack

[versed wren]

These perks are very good, its basicly a extra item with defensives

[versed wren]

Hover on ability and check

[proven rapids]

It's a spell

Sadly

[snow sierra]

like this perk gives me 100es

not good at all

a small note is stronger

[mossy wave]

is this damage calculated from the skill after all other % damage + chaos damage % is applied to the skill?

[proven rapids]

Wait I might do str stack pathfinder pconc

Oh wait no it won't work well, because gearing will be painful

[snow sierra]

same with this one it gives me less energy shield then a small 12% note

[versed wren]

ye but you're probebly not using shit like this

[versed wren]

Energy sure is balanced atm

haha

[snow sierra]

so i got 20k es with overflow^^

[proven rapids]

Yo, do you have a screen with all your combined %es increase and flat es just to see how much is needed to achieve 10k ? Pls

[snow sierra]

i dont know how these note work but they seem totaly shit and worse then small % notes

[tender harbor]

Sorry not on the PC atm 😭

[snow sierra]

is there some way i can see the combined % ?

[versed wren]

Wish they could give the math for alot of these modi's especially when a 100% boost doesn't add up

[proven rapids]

On your stat sheet I believe

Shortcut C

[versed wren]

You only see your max

not the total %

[snow sierra]

ye

[proven rapids]

Or else just redo your tree on maxroll and maxroll do the math for you

[snow sierra]

but i have a chest that is worth 1200 es or something like that

for me

so kinda insane^^

[proven rapids]

Can you screen your tree pls

[finite edge]

i got a original sin ring and a bow with flat elemental damages, do soul cores of citaqualotl (30%wed) scale the chaos?

[versed wren]

Thats only from passive tree not gear tho right

[proven rapids]

Yep

On gear I know there's a lot of flat es and maybe % Inc max on amu if I had to guess

[versed wren]

God, just waiting for one good website to make a good planer like Last epoch had

[balmy knot]

hi im going to go demon form witch. for my rune slots on my gear pieces do you think its better to go energy shield, resistances, or life regen?

[snow sierra]

best to go very low life and es

[proven rapids]

Ty

[snow sierra]

with flat life reggen

[balmy knot]

yes i have my ming rings

so you think es for rune slots?

[proven rapids]

We're waiting for POB hopefully

[quick wolf]

If I'm doing 80% exposure and -33% resist with curse does it make cold pen support gem unnecessary?

[snow sierra]

depends on your chest, but i would say if you have a good helm or chest es are worth it there

but res allways come first

gottoa fix those

And you need chaos res with this build

[balmy knot]

i have the ghostwhire for 50% of my health goes to es

[snow sierra]

i know^^

[versed wren]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/ We need something like this and the Resources tab so you can search over all items easily

[snow sierra]

😄

[proven rapids]

Path of building does that too

[maiden needle]

im new to poe and enjoying my run through. im trying to figure out which one of the first venoms i should take as an infernalist. Initial thoughts are mana but i havnt had any issue with mana so far

[balmy knot]

where do you get your life regen from?

[snow sierra]

i swar soon they change the ES formular and all ES builds with these will be bricked

[balmy knot]

jewels and passive nodes?

[snow sierra]

gear you should get it

i shit on life and run CI

[versed wren]

Another emulator software download then i guess

[snow sierra]

cause i dont use demon form ill just use the chest cause its insane

[proven rapids]

Yeah, but they haven't done the update for poe2 yet

[pine lily]

Is there any way to reduce cast time of Bonestorm or reduce the movement penalty?

[balmy knot]

does bricked mean good

[pearl sluice]

does the 29% fire dmg also apply to my raging spirits that i spawn with fire wall?

[snow sierra]

Nah i expect these items to get massively nerfed but we see

[tidal parcel]

i need someone for a build review towards endgame

fireball sorc

please help 😦

[fair fiber]

heyyyy

[versed wren]

There are gem supports for both of those.

[last patio]

is there a world where this is worth taking?

[versed wren]

They're tagged as fire so it should

[last patio]

I'll only have lightning grenades and a skill with a support gem that allows electro build up

[snow sierra]

More lifereg from gear will give you more dmg cause longer demon form, ES will give you a bigger ES pool. Atleast when you run uncapped demon form

and res, well we all need res

[last patio]

I might put it on hammer of the gods so it auto electrocutes them

[snow sierra]

so its more of a question what you need

[neat bison]

They are minions so no

[last patio]

to give me time for plasma shot

[pearl sluice]

wtf? i just bought it q_q

[supple jay]

does reduced attribute requirements only apply to gear, not to skill/spirit gems?

[neat bison]

• minion levels is the best stat for minions, they scale crazy off it

[supple jay]

if so already shit affix even worse than I thought, holy

[pearl sluice]

ohh man, this game is tedious to learn lmao

[snow sierra]

if it dos not say minion, minion dosnt care

[neat bison]

^

[pearl sluice]

okay thanks, ill keep it in mind 😄

[snow sierra]

unless you have the shitty amulett note

that no one every will take

[pearl sluice]

im lvl 16 and i dont even have an amulet xD

[last patio]

is this modifier to prevent you from using electrocute support gem?

[cinder river]

I have a bug where im trying to setup dual weapon builds, but now all my skills are gone, I cant bind any to any buttons.

Im using a mixture of Demon form with hexblast

And Detonate Dead with minions (for weapons) but after making that change, all my skills are gone, the gems are there, but skills selection slots are empty.

When i am finally able to cast it, hexblast now takes me out of demon form as if im swapping to my weapon

[snow sierra]

haaa i give up my infernalist plan is bricked...41 level done for nothing^^

[versed wren]

Are you sure?
cause if i add 7% chaos my totem goes up from 143 to 147 for example and totems work in teh same manner as minion correct?

[snow sierra]

Totems are not minions

[tender harbor]

If I put Added Chaos damage on a spell like fire ball does it count as a hit for Chaotic Freeze?

Or does it just convert the damage

[snow sierra]

Totems are a extension of you

You are the totem while the totem is not you

[thin basin]

stampede clear on warrior kinda ass im ngl

[pine lily]

what would they be and how do they cancel the mvoe speed penalty?

[grave crane]

whats the rune to add chaos resistance?

[snow sierra]

there is some tech with scattershot

[neat bison]

It’s a soul core, Tacati

[snow sierra]

to double click to instand cast or something

for bonestorm

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMGn9qOtSQc

i think that guy explains it somewhere

[versed wren]

This is a minion and i added 10% elemental damage and the minion got affected

[snow sierra]

what did you do use rageing sprit ?

its buggy atm it shows your fist sometimes

but i can assure you, if it dosnt say minion it dos not work

[proven rapids]

Why it's bricked?

[snow sierra]

cause it dosnt work, ill just kill myself over and over xD

[versed wren]

here is raging spirit and yes it does scale like i said

if it has the tag it will boost a set number

[proven rapids]

But why ?

What were you trying to do

[snow sierra]

sure buddy then dont belive me and get this stuff

can you stop spamming screenshots now

[versed wren]

So a damage numbe that goes from 86 to 98 with a % boost in the passive tree isn't a damage boost then?

[snow sierra]

Infernal flame with demon stitchers to transfer alot on hp to energy shield and leech it with the covenant turns out 5% leech isnt mutch

[neat bison]

Unless you’ve randomly made some discovery the minion gurus haven’t, it’s likely a bug or error. That would be a massive change.

[snow sierra]

We know it dos not work, you can belive me or not, the tooltips on minions are historical unreliable

[proven rapids]

Tried recoup ?

[snow sierra]

like when you change minion count it even changes

[static plinth]

5% is almost nothing yeah. 500 per 10k damage, but then you have to factor in leech resistance

[snow sierra]

no but the 5% from the gloves do not count as dmg so recoupt dos nothing here

[proven rapids]

Yeah but infernal flame does count

[snow sierra]

ye thats true

[proven rapids]

That's how the guy made an infinite autocasting infernalist

[snow sierra]

but the problem is more that the 5% loss from the gloves are alot

and i wanted to make the gloves work for energy shield recharge

[proven rapids]

https://youtu.be/LKHoQkvBx8Q?si=-5--f1w5dj3p-aTB

[static plinth]

I feel like Sacrifice stopping Recharge is a bug

The tooltip for sacrificing explicitly says its not damage

[snow sierra]

the fck xD

[proven rapids]

This is the interaction with demon sticker and 118% recoup

[snow sierra]

maybe

not that i want this build but maybe there is something in there that can make mine work

thanks^^

[proven rapids]

He has another video where explain everything going on you can check that

[proven rapids]

It's not a bug, recharge explicitly say that any life loss would stop it and sacrifice is a life loss

[tulip fog]

if my skill has a duration of 1 second and i get 36% reduced skill duration from passives and then 30% less skill duration from a supportgem, how long duration would the skill have?
0.448 seconds? or is my math incorrect?

[snow sierra]

but i think re relies on getting a big hit from infernal flame to get the recoup going and loosing nearly all your hp and es every few sec sounds like a big nono to me^^

[proven rapids]

He's doing high tier content without dying, it's a bit like warloop from poe1, you can die if a hit goes through at the exact moment your low life

Gambling build kinda

[snow sierra]

ye but maybe i can work somehow with this idea but doubt

wanted to make a mega tanky ES build that can even recharge ES without grim feast

[old gust]

My Blasphemy does not work in deamon Form ...help pls

[proven rapids]

Oh that's what I'm doing actually, but on warbringer with svalinn

[white timber]

Does stun duration scales of final hit that provoke stun?

[proven rapids]

More like 0.19sec

[fallow lichen]

demon form disables weapon slots, do you have spirit on your weapon or shield? you will lose it and as such some spirit gems that need it

[snow sierra]

what do you mean ?

[fair fiber]

whic one is better for a lvl 42 titan warrior>

?

[fringe sinew]

Hello ladz i need some help regarding explo shot on deadeye if someone is playing it when did you switch from lightening arrow to explo plz

[old gust]

no, I only use 60 Spirit from my character

[pearl sluice]

With trigger gems, can you only use support gems for the trigger, but not the skill gem? Or, is there a way to socket support for the skill gem as well? If so, might you, please, direct me to how to do this?

[proven rapids]

Str stacking with iron will, iron will gives 1%spell damage per 2 str but remove life scaling from str. Keystone give es scaling instead of life. To stack str you have to be left side. Es is very good with any form of avoidance, svalinn gives a lot of free avoidance, warbringer gives block the ability to block any hit, including aoe, making avoidance even stronger. Warbringer gives armour break power, armour break can be done with phy damage, detonate dead does phy damage. Gear will basically be es+ armour and tree %max es and armour. Here goes the es tonk

[tulip fog]

0.19 seconds? okay? how do you get that number?

[unique wolf]

would a dual wield mace invoker work

[neon kindle]

Your math is correct

[snow sierra]

where is this note i cant find it ?

[proven rapids]

Timeless jewel, 6 div atm

[snow sierra]

damit 😦

that sounded cool for just a second i guess i have to live with 1,1 flat energy shield per strength

[pearl sluice]

Now that vine and gas arrow are nerfed, is there a great ranger pathfinder build that melts?

[tulip fog]

okay, thanks

[proven rapids]

Poisonous concoction

It kinda melt

how do you even know what it is doing ?

[proven rapids]

Yeah they are buffed

[pearl sluice]

Ok nice thx

[proven rapids]

You don't unless you use a planner, maxroll can show you what they does

[snow sierra]

do they all do diffrent things ?

[static plinth]

Yes, the number of Songworthy Deeds is a seed for the jewel

[proven rapids]

The three all gives a different keystone changing attribute bonus

[mild bay]

What are good support gems for ghost dance buff ?

[snow sierra]

dam...thats some arcane knowledge

[swift aspen]

Can someone explain how Blackbraid unique works? Does armor replace resistance, does it add to resistance, or does it reduce elemental resistance damage before/after resistances are applied?

[delicate garnet]

so whats the difference between mana recovery rate and mana regeneration rate?

oh i gotcha nvm its a multiplier

[tender harbor]

I know Damage over time doesn’t crit but yall said the first hit of ed/contagion crits?

[proven rapids]

Armour apply to elemental damage taken after being reduced by elemental resistance

[swift aspen]

So if I have 80% mitigation from armor with that chest, and I only have 20% resists, I’ll take ~ 16% damage?

[proven rapids]

Oh you better have 75% resistance and 20% armour than that

[quiet sphinx]

do i rune physical or lightning on this xbow?

[proven rapids]

I suggest you to look on YouTube how transcendance work on dreamecore channel, you will understand everything

[swift aspen]

I mean 75% resist and 20% armor would make it 20% damage taken

https://youtu.be/r43Ms66OFx0?si=u4vYxxGxHuqnsjiK

this?

[last patio]

are all lightning skills able to chain?

or is it only lightning skills that explicitly say they chain

also is it just me or is shock severely overrated? it only gives 20% increased damage, why take a ton of "chance to shock" nodes when you could just take a couple increased damage nodes?

[swift aspen]

The passive says “applies to elemental damage” but doesn’t have “instead of physical damage” like transcendence. Does it work the same? No longer any physical resistance?

[fallow lichen]

open your skills tab with "G" click the arrow rightside of blasphemy to open spell panel, make sure II (2nd)weaponslot is checkmarked, currently its bugged, demonform should abide by the last checkmark for using abilities and buff, currently its set to 2nd weaponslot even tho it does not change weaponslots

[drifting cedar]

this has probably been a while but weapon attacks use the crit stat of the weapon, they are different from spells in that way. unarmed attacks and some totems may get their own crit stat as well

Probably a no, but I'd like to see if anyone can confirm:
If I pick up Stacking Toxins ('Targets can be affected by +1 of your poisons at the same time') and toss a Gas Grenade -
Will it just put up one stack and keep refreshing it?
Or will it add 2 and alternate refreshing them?
Does this change if I have multiple grenades (from Scattershot or a Bombard Cannon)?

If im using a lets say a 80-300 range flat damage crossbow, how much of that is ok to lose before using a Bombard crossbow with +1 projectile is better or worse??

[tender harbor]

How does crit work ed/contagion? I know the dot doesn’t crit but does the first tick or hit?

[snow sierra]

thanks alot, with your suggestion i could make the build i was planning work for now

[proper seal]

looking mainly at physical damage?

[copper idol]

Well the left one is 113-203, the right one is 63-133 (53-109 + 10-24).

They both have tha same attack speed & crit rate, so the left one is basically double the damage.

The only advantage the right one has is the leech, really, and I certainly wouldn't give up that much damage for a little leech.

[static plinth]

ED has a hit component and can crit, contagion does not and cannot, crits do not affect the DoT in any way

[copper idol]

Even if it had 2 sockets for +Phys and you gave it +20% qual, the minium damage wouldn only be ~85 or so

[stiff hinge]

has anyone tested archers vs arsonists?

[foggy dagger]

is there a way to undo my skill tree at level 6? even if i have to spend gold

[copper idol]

Progress the story a bit, you'll unlock a new NPC that can refund skill points for gold

[halcyon solar]

Is there a way to see in advance, how many Tablets you will be able to slot into a Lost Tower?

[copper idol]

You'll find him roughly around level 10-12, assuming you aren't just running past everything.

[foggy dagger]

thank you

[dreamy mulch]

feel like it had a use in poe1 i forget tho

[main flame]

Do mind over matter + eldritch battery builds get any way to scale up their stun threshold?

[acoustic oxide]

I am a ranger, should I focus on armor or evasion?

[sand gull]

evasion

[hallow laurel]

Does infernal flame play at all with mind over matter?

Actually I should ask if fire resistance applies to infernal flame first

[brisk hemlock]

Does this include spells?

[static plinth]

Yes

[brisk hemlock]

Is there an armor for ES?

[static plinth]

Wdym

[brisk hemlock]

Does armor work for ES?

[static plinth]

Yes

[gloomy pagoda]

What are usually the best support gems for Ice Strike? I'm using Inspiration last just because mana was a issue without it

[inner vale]

Is titan dual wielding 2h maces considered best / most damage build for leveling a warrior?

Trying to find a build to follow

[last patio]

@drifting cedar You 100% don't have to give this a look, I'd understand why not lol. Just hoping this roughdraft of passives/skills looks decent enough https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/p5ds50vi

[woeful cypress]

Hi, first time poe player. What's the worst that could happen if I vaaled this? I want negative lightning res and positive other resists

[copper idol]

From the POE2 wiki

[last patio]

I've taken a number of these nodes totalling 106% increased damage. Hoping that along with the rest will be sufficient for damage nodes

[gray ferry]

for an item like this, would you want to prioritize added damage or more %phys? 🤔

[woeful cypress]

Yeah I don't understand the second one. So it rerolls all the lines within the range again?

[dreamy mulch]

Tbh this is a bad ring just so you know. Like it’s a bad rare ring essentially. 27 res w 15 rarity 54 health 5 soirit lol. The point of that ring is they have a huge spread of how good they can be, that one is average bad

[ruby hound]

Vaal orb based

[copper idol]

Sounds like it rerolls the ranges, then rolls a multiplier and applies that to the newly-rolled ranges

[dreamy mulch]

Ah I didn’t realize a Vaal could divine tho? My bad

[woeful cypress]

no worries, i got it for cheap so i don't expect it to be good

[dreamy mulch]

Good target for Vaal if so

[high rivet]

you think its possible to hit 100% crit on demon form spells?

[static plinth]

They want negative lightning res for Doryani's Prototype so its a bit better than that

[dreamy mulch]

I don’t remember Vaal divining in one so first I’ve heard of it, those notes read like it does now tho

[dreamy mulch]

Ahhh ok sorry not aware of the build

[static plinth]

Its new yeah

[copper idol]

No guarantee the wiki is 100% accurate though, at least not yet. 🙂

[woeful cypress]

Okay I'll keep the ring as is for now. I don't have a spare ring.

[opaque sparrow]

Two things, anyone know if there's a way to proc raging spirits in 1 skill?

I remember reading something, not sure if it was an item, but it made your minions receive the benefits from your amulet. Anyone know what it is?

[copper idol]

Firewall

[opaque sparrow]

My firewall is taking 2 🙃

[stuck peak]

Necromantic Talisman passive

[copper idol]

Weird. Only had to cast it once myself, but I didn't play with it that long

[acoustic oxide]

What are the best support gems for lightning arrow at a lower level?

[opaque sparrow]

Ah yes. Thank you. Now the question is, will they inherit unique amulet bonus 🧐🧐🧐

And will they stack if they're aoe 🥴🥴

[lucid glade]

Mana remnant, arctic armour or the fire thing for a spark build ? I don't really feel the mana remnant rn

[tough karma]

Anyone know why "This item can not increase in rarity" is the result of every item I try a chance orb on? They're all normal items.

[viscid sierra]

hello
playing on stormweaver lvl69
with build would be better and more dps? - using spark only or ark?
I first played through spakr, but now I've respec all the talents on a different build and play through Ark. I think dps is at the same level +-(for my perspective). I don't have any Greater Jeweller's Orb at the moment , so only 3 gems on skills

[half owl]

anyone ever found 100% lightnign to chaos ring

[manic kite]

Is 200 dex 150 int enough to get good results from that 8 div. unique hand everyone using?

[spice timber]

Looking for creative suggestions for a thorns build, super high block. Massive tank. Really not there to do damage. Mostly there to be a smooth brain that walks directly into enemies and picks his nose and thinks about power rangers while the enemies beat themselves to death

Definitely thinking of abusing the helmet (abyssus?) That doubles your perfect window. Using the fire block skill.

[tiny pecan]

do these passives still work if i have it converted to frenzy?

[spice timber]

No

[gilded nova]

How do I find out what is making my Fire Resistance low?
I have 3 pieces with 20+ Fire Res, but my fire res is still at 8%

[spice timber]

You lose more and more resistances the further you go in the game

[gilded nova]

All other resistances are 65+ except for Fire, so I'm sure there's something blocking it.

[spice timber]

Could just be that you have significantly more of those resistances

[rough kelp]

how do some gear have more than 1 rune slot?

[opaque sparrow]

How do you improve spell quality? 🤔

[wicked merlin]

So I’m level 78 on my monk doing t7-t8 maps and am at the point where I am branching to spectral ward, subterfuge mask or the quarterstaff nodes. Which should be my priority next? I have a pure ES helm and pure evade chest already.

[spice timber]

Gemcutters prisms

[opaque sparrow]

Ty

[gilded nova]

Well I just removed some pieces with Fire Res and this happens...

[spice timber]

Artificers orbs. Only 2 handed weapons and armor can have more than one

[rough kelp]

I had gloves with 2 slots

[spice timber]

Yes that's normal

[rough kelp]

because of corruption?

[spice timber]

Likely

[halcyon solar]

Are Catalysts the only way to enhance your Rings/Amulet's Quality?

[tulip fog]

man it feels bad needing to travel all the way down to the bottom of the tree to grab the bleed nodes thats a lot of points spent travelling there

dont think there is any better alternatives so i guess thats the only option

[rough kelp]

? you playing main bleed?

[tulip fog]

bone blast bleed build

[solemn island]

If i have life leech on a skill for the physical damage i do, and i proc bleed, will i heal a percentage of the bleeding done?

[rough kelp]

there is a node top left that gives magnitude on aliments if you crit

[tulip fog]

that doesnt really help

[rough kelp]

this

how so

[tulip fog]

what im travelling all the way down south for is chance to bleed on hit, bleed duration and bleed/ailments deal damage faster

without those chance to bleed nodes i wont hit 100% chance to bleed

[rough kelp]

you can try getting 100% chance for bleed with jewels

[dusty yoke]

Do generic critical hit chance nodes also apply to spells?

[normal fable]

Any sorcs here w everlasting neck? what passive did you put on

tides of change or lightning rod

[serene lotus]

If im using a lets say a 80-300 range flat damage crossbow, how much of that is ok to lose before using a Bombard crossbow with +1 projectile is better or worse??

[tulip fog]

yes

[dusty yoke]

Thanks

[deep rune]

Whats a build or ascendency that doesn't require too much investment to get started at maps ?

[normal fable]

you can do early maps w any build

[normal sonnet]

Can this effect stack?

[static plinth]

Yes

[normal sonnet]

ty it was hard to tell since I can't see my flask charge count

[sacred sail]

48% over cap fire mean means 48% armour increased ?

[snow sierra]

ye but with no stats from body it will be hard to campitilized from these bonis

[sacred sail]

true, body armour is the best source of flat defense

and % increase is easy to get everywhere

seems quite meh for now

maybe later with more unique or jewel

[static plinth]

If you're an Acolyte this can basically make you immune to ailments

[grave crane]

how much would this go for

[static plinth]

Since Acolyte doubles your chaos res

[sacred sail]

nothing much, a few exalt at most

[snow sierra]

wow block is so good i removed 15% block from my build and you can feel it so painfully

[sacred sail]

evasion layer are very powerful

[snow sierra]

now i wanna do a ES build with block and evasion

[sacred sail]

maybe it would be better to

go armour + ES

for the aegis node

each time you block you recover an amount of ES scaling to your armour

[snow sierra]

ye b..but imagen...es + block + evasion...if you can with acrobatics lol

[sacred sail]

so you have avoidance, sustain and phys mitigation

at the same time

but then you die from anything that bypass block and is magical

[sacred sail]

you can but difficult to get insane amount of evasion

if you want es also

[snow sierra]

ye i can see that

[sacred sail]

my pathfinder lvl 88

has with acrotabics and es

65% evasion on the tooltip

[snow sierra]

maybe with Morior Invictus Grand Regalia xD with global defenses

[sacred sail]

you think it's good but 65% chance to block, 65% chance to evade give you a good amount of time you just die

it bypasses it

so idk

[lucid glade]

Which distilled passive should I infuse my amulet with for a spark build ?

[sacred sail]

definitely need more

[snow sierra]

Atm i survive with only 49% block^^

but ye getting acrobatics, es and block sounds kinda impossible travling wise^^

and still have dmg

[frosty arrow]

pretty cool looking thing. A boss killer

[sacred sail]

nah it's possible

but I wouldn't do it

[snow sierra]

i guess you would have to be deadeye...and minions are cheap on dmg ponder

[sacred sail]

I think you are better off going

es + armour

with aegis node block

block is avoidance

gives you sustain

ES make you less likely to get one shotted

seems to be more all rounded

idk

[sacred sail]

not really

:/

[snow sierra]

Anicent aegies sucks a

like it dos give less then a 12% es note

[sacred sail]

idk it was bugged they should've fixed it

[snow sierra]

its somehow super bad

cant say how it works but for me it was like 150 es or something

thats nothing when you run around with 9-10k es

[sacred sail]

anyway I have no idea

try to go acrobatics

maybe it can work

you have insane block node

ranger side

@snow sierraI'm playing a shattering concotion pathfinder :p

[grave crane]

im getting offers for 30 ex

[snow sierra]

do you have to use a bow for that ?

[sacred sail]

really ? nice

[last patio]

wish I'd known it was bugged T_T

[grave crane]

someone told me it was worth 2 div

wtf

[sacred sail]

wtf

[grave crane]

whats so good on it?

the shock chance maybe?

people want it

[last patio]

now i'm permanently stuck moving at plasma blast charge speed

[sacred sail]

no idea really, you can find tons of +4 level weapon worth 2 exalt at most

[last patio]

and it crashed the game

[static plinth]

+4 to spells + Mana i assume

[sacred sail]

can"'t even sell a +4 chaos wand 2 exalt

😭

[stoic hornet]

Hi, i wanna play Archmage Spark but idk whos build i should follow. Got any ideas?

[snow sierra]

nobody wants to use chaos

[sacred sail]

@grave craneI have a staff +4 lightning, 78% lightning dmg, 212 mana, 18% extra lightning dmg, couildn't sell it 4 ex it's been 2 weeks

[grave crane]

its because mines a wand

[sacred sail]

I see

[vivid ferry]

is there a cap on increase rarity?

[static plinth]

No

[sacred sail]

I heard rarity is turbo broken

:/

[vivid ferry]

yeah... I might regret this because my build isnt that tanky

[sacred sail]

it even helps with currency

[sour yoke]

fuck my necromancer is too strong so its lagging my game
peak path of exile

[vivid ferry]

Im thinking of slotting increase rarity into the last slot of Mahuxotl's

instead of %hp, just bc of how broken rarity is

3.2k hp is scuffed though

[sour yoke]

rarity is very fun

more loot is more good

yk

[vivid ferry]

worst case is I remove Thrillsteel and get a helm with hp

[sacred sail]

and not having rarity sucks so you have to have it since it's so overpowered

[snow sierra]

ye do it like our ranger brothers go full eva with 2k hp and rarety maxed...if you get hit thats it with your map xD

[vivid ferry]

im on the side of removing it from the game

[sacred sail]

removing it would be cool

it's never good

[snow sierra]

rarety is just not fun...either its bad or everyone needs it

[sacred sail]

exactly

I think next I'll go for a CI build

so I can take rarity

everywhere

[grave crane]

ended up selling it for 40 @sacred sail lol

[sacred sail]

nice 😮

[grave crane]

tyty

[storm wagon]

do jewels get crazier later?? they dont have level unlike other gear

[snow sierra]

dont you have a es ranger ? just go ci on that^^

[sacred sail]

nah that sucks wtf how do I even make it work

I have no idea

[snow sierra]

ghostwrithe is a cheat atm for every es problems

[sacred sail]

but I'm on the fence onn sacrificing some hp roll since ES is just better.

[snow sierra]

it even works with ci

[sacred sail]

what is this

[snow sierra]

insanely broken atm my most loved item ^^

[sacred sail]

Im doing this pathing trying to get es

[static plinth]

(Its 50% without a lucky corruption)

[sacred sail]

no idea what I'm doing

[snow sierra]

its like a 1200 base ES chest for me atm

that dosnt look planned at all xD

[sacred sail]

I use a 1400 es chest with 170 life and 55% res

[sacred sail]

?

[snow sierra]

show chest ^^

i wanna see

[sacred sail]

my game is in french

so

annoying

[snow sierra]

i dont care as far a i know no body armor over 1000es exist

[sacred sail]

oh

[snow sierra]

i just wanna see how you got to this value^^

[sacred sail]

I made a mistake

I meant evasion

[snow sierra]

ah

[sacred sail]

sorry

[lapis acorn]

Hi. I'm completely new to poe.
I started as a warbringer and have setup a corrupted cry build.
What I don't understand is that after casting my warcry a bunch of times in a row, it becomes temporarily unusable for like 10 seconds. What would cause this?

[sacred sail]

brain lag

[sacred sail]

because you stunned a monster

when you proc the intented effect of seismic cry it goers on cooldown

[lapis acorn]

Ah, thanks!
