[sacred sail]

don't think it was meant to be spammed like that

[snow sierra]

the 3 conversion ES items are all so strong imo, helm is a good addion to life stacker, the neck is insane for mana stacker and the chest is good for pure ES

[sacred sail]

np

[snow sierra]

But nobody seems to like the body/helmed because no big streamer uses it ^^

[sacred sail]

can you give me advice :p

I'm really not feeling good using evasion and es

I'm more a warrior guy

so I really don't know what i'm doing

[snow sierra]

no rly i think, i am a summoner main so i dont know how to scale other stuff

[sacred sail]

even in poe 1 I never played evasion

and rarely ES

never top right side

[snow sierra]

i can make your deadeye work as a summoner tho 😛

[sacred sail]

how much is the conversion

I found it very strong

but forgot how much it is

[snow sierra]

the helm gives just 30% something flat without taking something away, for that es bleed thru you life, so its insane strong for a high lifepool build, seen alot of bloodmages with it

[warm delta]

How do you get resistance on passive node Jewels?

[sacred sail]

I have 2K2 life

hmm

would be something like 600 ES

for me

not worth it

[snow sierra]

well these items are kinda strong if you are around the top of the tree

[sacred sail]

I don't understand

[snow sierra]

not sure if you can, maybe with corruption

[acoustic jasper]

Maybe someone here could help me out, im trying to use decompose + corrosion to create poison gas clouds that cause armor break, are decompose and corrosion compatible? also which debuff icon underneath enemy health bars is armor break? TY

Decompose causes aoe poison clouds and corrosion says "Supports any skills that hits enemies, causing poison damage it applies to break armor..."

[sacred sail]

by saying this he could means tons of different things

so much that I don't get it

[snow sierra]

well 2k hp is kinda nothing ive seen ppl with near 4k, and with this and a few strong ES notes the es quickly becomes very high

[sacred sail]

@snow sierrafor now I have 2K2 life and 1K8 ES but I don't have ES on my body armour yet

[snow sierra]

but as i said gotta be in the top side of the tree for it

[sacred sail]

I need money

[sacred sail]

are you sure AOE poison clouds are "hit"

[lapis acorn]

Performs a damaging warcry, Knocking Back nearby enemies. If a Heavy Stunned enemy is hit, your next Slam is Empowered to perform an additional Aftershock. If not, this skill's cooldown is reset.

So, if I hit a stunned enemy, it empowers my next slam. Otherwise, it resets the cooldown, which I assume means puts it off cooldown.
However, I have the ascendency point that makes my warcries not have a cooldown. Why would this text translate to giving a cooldown to a skill which doesn't have a cooldown if it hits a stunned enemy?

[acoustic jasper]

i dont know, dont think so. Are you able to put support gems on unsupported skills?

[sacred sail]

I would say not it's not

it's like a ground dot or something

so it wouldnt' work

try it yourself though

you just need some gems

[acoustic jasper]

yeah im using the setup right now in game im not sure if it works or not honestly

[sacred sail]

seismic cry doesn't have a inherant cooldown maybe

unlike infernal cry

idk

[acoustic jasper]

i dont know what the armor break debuff icon looks like ingame

[vague elk]

I'm running T1 and T2 maps with 1.3kHP 😂 pure evasion no maxed resistances... fml how does evasion even work

[frosty arrow]

if it's a strike or projectile you can dodge it. Anything else only with acrobatics. So, aoe, explosions, etc - can't be dodged by default

[sacred sail]

you evade or you don't and with your life pool and res you die. 😮

[last patio]

if I time plasma blast to my computer's clock it 100% isn't charging in the time it says it is

[sacred sail]

also evasion isn"'t truly random if it work like poe 1, you'll get hit at one point by the same mob it's just that you'll almost always dodge the first few hits

I think

[acoustic jasper]

took off all other sources of armor break and i think it actually works, if the armor break debuff icon resembles an explosion

[sacred sail]

no idea

[pale drift]

i play frostwall / fireball blood mage but i have insane lost FPS when i cast the combo i freeze and die all time, somone can help me plz im so sad !

[sacred sail]

lower the graphics maybe

[pale drift]

no setting for dont see my spell when i cast ?

[sacred sail]

no :/

one day I hope

[static plinth]

Turn off bloom and turn on particle culling

It wont save you but it might help a smidge

[opaque sparrow]

So before I keep dropping money on the game, if I'm running cast on crit, will the socketed skill cast itself when I reach max energy? 🤔

[static plinth]

Yes

[opaque sparrow]

So it's not like elemental invocation then

[quartz abyss]

i just got to end game and am doing the merc gernade build i got really lucky and got a div orb on a T4 map and was wondering what i could buy to give me the bigest boost in power im lvl 74 and i stll feel a bit weak getting one shot sometimes in maps even tho i got almost maxed resists

[pale drift]

i will swap build to no lag build i think im ff

[hallow apex]

crafted this beauty, but im not playing the build so i have a question. Is the first mod says gain extra damage as extra fire damage is good thing for the lightning builds? Or its just a dead mod for them?

[sacred sail]

what may be good is selling your div for exalt so you can buy multiple items instead of a single one. idk it depends

[opaque sparrow]

Quick follow up, will spell casted use the support gems in the follow-up slots?

[snow sierra]

well its corruption

[quartz abyss]

how is the market is the price going up or down i would assume the best time to sell is now since the more time that goes by the more divs will drop

[warm delta]

Its good, as its on top of ("gained") damage. Then if they get gloves that turn 100% lightning into cold, it streamlines passive tree points needed

[sacred sail]

no idea I try to not understand the market when I do I lose my money xD

[hallow apex]

oh alright, you just need a conversion first

thanks!

[quartz abyss]

seems to be around 70 exalteds is that enough to buy a good set of gear

[dusty lance]

is there a rune that gives spirit if so what is it called?

[sacred sail]

yes ! be careful try to really get good prices

[warm delta]

Market is flooded atm w/divines. a few days ago it was 85e->1d, now its hovering at 71-74e->1d.

The currency exchange exists to prevent inflation (flip conversion rates for items, its not the same), so divines may have settled into their value atm

[quartz abyss]

thats the worst part about buying and selling i have no idea what anything is worth and from what i hear people aree low balling all the time

or trying to upsell lol

[static plinth]

No, Invocations are a specific thing compared to Cast On X (see Cast on Melee Kill and Reaper's Invocation)

[static plinth]

Yes

[sacred sail]

yeah I was saying this because multiple item are better than a very good one sometimes for your character power when you start

[forest spoke]

Is there a glitch with weapon swapping to the Crossbow? Because whenever I swap from bow to Crossbow it doesn’t let me shoot until I dodge roll once

[sacred sail]

new game ppl are lost

I'm lost too

[quartz abyss]

i played 1 leauge of PoE 1 but i only got to yellow maps

[quartz abyss]

would you say that its fine to sell at that price?

[sacred sail]

that's how my first time in poe 1 was too. Months later I got addicted

[warm delta]

Going elemental sorc/witch build, with this, means more investment into cold, which leaves fire which atm has the best un-nerfed interactions (see sparkmage fire wall T16+ build)

[quartz abyss]

ive also head that you might be able to buy a carry for the 4th Ascension would that be something worth looking into seems like a lot of power gained

[sacred sail]

it's not like you won't find divines later

do what's best for you now

[olive mist]

Is there any possible tank build for endgame or is it always going to eventually scale into one button kill a whole map or be one shotted yourself?

[sacred sail]

whatever this is

[quartz abyss]

i wouldnt even know how to go about finding someone to carry me lol

[snow sierra]

nearly any good build in endgame is tanky, if you only have oneshot builds you watched to mutch youtube

[sacred sail]

@quartz abysssometimes you'll make mistake, losing money on deals, not identifying a worthy item properly and so on, it doesn't matter no need to overthink it, you'll get better at it

[olive mist]

tanky sure, but I'm taking like actual tank walk through mobs taking minimal damage stuff. Sword and board type fantasy

[warm delta]

Personally, 73-75 is the lowest limit. Once theres more farmers, inflation will raise the price due to over-correction in the currency exchange

For example, last night i sold a unique that is a part of a buffed build for 4d. I set a "put order" at 85e for my 1d, this morning it was fulfilled. Now it dropped

[snow sierra]

Not rly, there are build that can do that a while, but non will allow you to afk in t16 maps

[warm delta]

If you have patience, just place at order at 80e, it'll get filled when the market corrects

Rn everything costs more e and d than normal.

Options trading 101

[quartz abyss]

thanks for the advice

[warm delta]

or quants

Anything thats counter-cyclical is profitable.

[olive mist]

I see. So every viable-good build is going to be those walk forward and use a move that deletes everyone right away?

[snow sierra]

you could try to make something, or invest heavly in it but you wont have clear speed

what is viable for you ?

[olive mist]

Well, right now I'm playing ranger and getting one shot by like every campaign boss in act 3, so a very hits the spot fantasy to me right now would be being able to soak hits and not care too much as I wade through mobs

[snow sierra]

most ppl would say a build that can not clear the sceen kinda quick is not viable no matter how tanky cause your farm speed would be zo bad then

[sacred sail]

guys should I exalt and corrupts all my map T15 when I run them ?

[snow sierra]

i only regal and corrupt them

so i may hit a t16

and use these on +2 pushed maps from towers and corruption

[calm jolt]

Is siphoning strike bugged or am I stupid?

I use it on a shocked enemy and it doesnt gain a charge

[sacred sail]

I have 7 t15

got to endgame of endgame today

[snow sierra]

No build will let you afk every boss it and absoluty no build will let you afk boss hits on endgame bosses, you can make builds super tanky in maps but that will cost you clearspeed

[sacred sail]

omg I got a T16 I corrputed all seven of them

[snow sierra]

nice you can sell those for around 7-8ex or even more, or do them, but only use them on a corrupted + tower boosted map

[unique sparrow]

im level 53 did i cook or what>?

[olive mist]

Makes sense, thanks for the info

[snow sierra]

your map needs to have atleast those two on it to make a t16 worth it imo, you would prefer more

[marsh sparrow]

hello

is there an armour hardcap

or can u just go to 100

[sacred sail]

don't go too hard on armour

[marsh sparrow]

fuck

literally bombed it down all the armour passive points on me tree

[rotund goblet]

i definitely wouldnt

[marsh sparrow]

😂

[snow sierra]

but ranger is the absolut worst class to make a tanky build...its the class the ppl pick that wanna build a zooom zoom never get hit char ^^

[sacred sail]

most dangerous things in the game are ele/chaos dmg with map effect such as dmg as extra X and stuff. Armour is good but really don't invest too much in hit, you don't need much to mostly ignore phys dmg from white/magic mobs anyway

even rare

I would say

amour applies to fire dmg is really good

[marsh sparrow]

i was planning to like go armour, regen and life leech and just stand there

[snow sierra]

you can make armor apply to ele dmg tho 😛

[sacred sail]

how ?

in poe 2

[snow sierra]

there are items for it and a passiv for fire dmg

[olive mist]

Oh I definitely feel that. I liked ranger back in 1 a lot with poison, but my god I have never felt as squishy in that game as I do as an act 3 ranger in this one

So it makes me want to just make a wall of a character to counteract this damage

[snow sierra]

there is this

and there a full ones

this

[sacred sail]

doryani prototype is nit good for warrior

[sacred sail]

how does it work with resistancer ?

[sacred sail]

if you want to make use of this body armour you would need to rework your build slapping in armour wheel isn't enough you need to build around it even more tbh

could be fun

[static plinth]

Applies after

[sacred sail]

how come wariror don't use it more ?

[snow sierra]

cause its overkill for tank

And chaos dmg is a problem

[static plinth]

A huge amount of your armour comes from your body slot

That piece gives basically 0

[snow sierra]

ive seen a bloodmage do t15-t16 with it tho

with just this armor and 0 res to all

with 2,5k hp xD

[static plinth]

Veil of The Night i presume?

[snow sierra]

yes

If you go CI + this Armor + the amulett that gives you 20% of your mana as ES...and then have good mana and life gear and block cap

dieing would be rly hard then xD

[sacred sail]

is it a good build ?

it seems so fun tbh

to do something like that

[snow sierra]

doubt it, but it would be tanky

[sacred sail]

how could it be bad then ?

you get insane crit dmg

you are tanky

[snow sierra]

well you gotta solve dmg

[sacred sail]

what's the problem

you just usded your helmet and body armour

I think it's fine for your dmg

[snow sierra]

and since you need to travel alot in your tree to get armor and ci

[sacred sail]

you can figure it out

[snow sierra]

you kinda fkt

you could try some archemage caster approach i guess since you wanna have alot of mana anyway^^

but i dont think you will have alot of points left for dmg if you go ci + es scaling + armor

[sacred sail]

fuck

^à)pzjkedf)op$zdej

)ozze

)jfg

$)eazjfg

died in my T16

anyway

[marsh sparrow]

idk i just heard that base damage is super high in late game

[sacred sail]

lost everyting..

[snow sierra]

yep thats why you need alot of tank^^

[sacred sail]

for me I don't see the problem with the build

you get

1 gazillion crit damage bonus

you can't say you have no dmg

[last patio]

sigh, plasma blast is a horrible skill

[uncut sparrow]

wow charge infusion doesn't have very many good supports

[sacred sail]

which one

[last patio]

and I had hoped really high aspd would make hammer of the gods faster, it doesn't at all

[last patio]

the skill with a 4 second CD. I got the aspd on it down to 2.38 but if I time the skill it's more like 3.5 seconds

[drifting sail]

is raging spirits on Sorc a passive? not sure i fully understand the skill as i cant equip it

[last patio]

what a wasted day, gah

[tawny skiff]

Any good recommended build guides for witch ? I’m lv41. Bouncing between Kripps life stacker and a reaver build

[sacred sail]

just lost my first 16 map 😭

[snow sierra]

i feel you my infernalist didnt work out too well too i wasted my day there too

[last patio]

i'll try fire grenade chronomancer, if that's a dead end I'm done with the class lol

i'll have explored everything

[sacred sail]

I can"'t find way, in this game to not get overwhelmed by monster

if I don't play the meta

:/

[last patio]

yeah I hope more creative options become available, I mean they should with all the ascendencies/classes coming up

[uncut sparrow]

i'm playing a very fun ice wall + fireball ice witch

[last patio]

but currently it feels like you're very limited in options

[sacred sail]

it's fine until you click delirium in a T16 map or breach

[last patio]

lmao I say that coming from D4

[snow sierra]

https://poe2db.tw/us/passive-skill-tree/AAAABgEBfh5xmi5FWkesTBoilrY0jtQSg0mdBtuj7cfwVypZJQ7v60beZ-FuhQrn8LUWeQPE95fIwM1SWWSRfJKXqwYK5RsWka-XxCj37XEWMel_VcXCNh-uvSn24KJy-A_da2MFmT2mtiShL5--Q-LuYqQHK_BUQLs7Ld2Y22ZUftpzq9pQwGgBuBf1gnrjDSm5a704BjhnFmBdhKMocTZ2-TPt1JDrckskIKWYPG8qV3kFpzphmH2fTy2YO_6s36Oxb53olTjUDXP4OdeMuDOMOEPyv8DZdGPVD9sojlXgDLPv29wdJ5PGQ0ub8xa7nqGc8-QMjxo7AHQCBVijRjUlqgAA

god this looks cursed

[sacred sail]

and then the 0.5s travel time of my shattering concoction make me die

[snow sierra]

i dont play meta and i am fine, and ive seen viable concoction builds

just gotta work on you build abit more

[last patio]

have you tried maxroll's passive tree planner?

[snow sierra]

nah

[last patio]

it's really nice

just like the in-game one. And you can alt skills just like in game as well

[sacred sail]

my first character is a warrior in endgame

so it's not even pathfinder related

it's just how it is

I tried to improve my shaterring flask clearing but I can't do it

idk how yet

[snow sierra]

this tree is so insanely cursed i might try it on my infernalist...

[topaz talon]

Guys does Ghostwrithe calculate with the theoretical max hp when using Chaos Inoculation?

[snow sierra]

just to see who tanky it gets when you layer doggo and +20% less phys dmg on top of armor and armor mid on elemental stuff

[snow sierra]

yes

at the moment its absolutly doing that

i expect it to get fixed sometime in the future tho dosnt seem intented at all

[topaz talon]

and I just wanted to toy around with that node and I still had 200 max hp on my demon form char

[snow sierra]

demon form will kill you with ci tho

[topaz talon]

relogged, stuck at 1 now, cannot enter demon form anymore

[snow sierra]

cause demon form dos not work with ci^^

[topaz talon]

I have 220 regen, I got up to 230 stacks

before it started to drain my 200 max hp

[snow sierra]

i know how that build works^^

[topaz talon]

now it looks like intended

lets see what happens if I respec it

okay now working as intended

[sacred sail]

do we have a way to share build ? would be nice if I could get some advice later

[topaz talon]

I really had 200 max hp WITH IC and it was bonkers

because I lost 0 ES with ghostwrithe

came here to get information, thinking that would be the new meta

[alpine pecan]

if I do 100 chaos damage, and I have 11% extra chaos damage, and I have 100% increased chaos damage, will the 11% do 22 chaos damage?

[snow sierra]

the build concept is simple for demon form, go ghostwrith with the global defense - rings get your hp as low as possible, get flat hp reggen and be happy. Pick a spell that scales well, solve your mana problem and go blasting

and have alot of chaos res 😛

[topaz talon]

yeah also managed that today

double ming maxed out res

200 max hp

[snow sierra]

yes like that...and reg from gear

cant be cheap

is your res maxed even in demon form ?

[topaz talon]

oh mb screenshot is with shield

[sacred sail]

you need to overcap a little bit on resistance s for curses

[snow sierra]

nah its fine

[calm wraith]

what kind of support gems would be good on freezing mark? i like using it to increase the freeze buildup and the nova is nice as well. I don't see many builds on maxroll using it so i'm starting to think maybe the skill is bait?

[copper canyon]

is splitting between two damage types still bad like it was in poe 1? I know mono element can be rough against enemies/bosses with resist - should I just be building exposure/penetration for that?

[snow sierra]

i like that build concept its very cool, abit squshi for my taste tho

[sacred sail]

I think it's bad, I can't find the point of using it

[topaz talon]

what about it? I feel very invincible

[calm wraith]

yea, i'm thinking maybe shattering palm is a better version sorta?

[snow sierra]

well poisen dmg still sucks, you dont have block etc...

[sacred sail]

it helps you freeze bosses but you might asell curse the boss so you deal more dmg and freeze them more anyway. The explosion part it's supposed to help for clearing but you never curse white, magic mobs and even rare mobs idk maybe

[sacred sail]

idk anything about monks

[snow sierra]

i have 8k es in my max dmg tree, i could easly go to 10k, with 65% block^^

And CI

With abit better gear block cap would be easly possible

[topaz talon]

fr? am I trippin? I cant seem to remember to ever go over 6-8k max stats in poe1

[sacred sail]

@calm wraithin campaign I think it's good, endgame is too fast pace for it and you have better for bosses

[topaz talon]

clearing all the endgame content

is poe2 more like everyone has 10K?

[drifting cedar]

does the attack speed on this node turn off if you use shockwave totem?

[pale cloak]

so I am struggling in yellow maps right now with survivability as LA deadeye. can someone help me out? I have around 13k evasion with wind dancer procced and no stacks of tailwind, I might be in a "dps it out" situation here but my clear isnt all that great with 6.4k tooltip on lightning arrow. I am proccing lightning rod hits with orb of storms for clear and then elemental invocation/ball lightning for single target. my single target dps is good tho. Edit: Res capped with 31% chaos res. I am getting killed by phys since I basically have no phys mitigation but idk how to stack that. Eventually I want to take acrobatics so I have to go pure evasion

[snow sierra]

nah i think 8k-10k is very mutch but i could push it i think with my build 12-13k es would be possible with block cap

if i put 2-3dvis in jewels i would be block capped

chaos res is a bit useless but a backup if they nerf the ci stuff

and 10k es with chronomancer is kinda bonkers

since i dont need to care about recharge at all

[wet mango]

summoning a totem isn't an attack

[sacred sail]

since you play an ice attack build like me, do you know how we can improve clear ? I can't find node, unique or gems that helps out a lol

[wet mango]

are you playing glacial? or another cold skill?

I have very good clear, it's never been a problem

[sacred sail]

I'm using shattering concoction on pathfinder

we both attack, ice skill xD

[wet mango]

i mean the attacks work totally different lol

[sacred sail]

I struggle with breach

[wet mango]

but there are not many cold damge nodes on the tree it's true

most of my tree dmg is 2H or crossbow or proj

[sacred sail]

the good part of my skill is

I shatter in one hit

anything

almost

[wet mango]

do you use Herald of Ice?

if you're shattering (freeze + kill) then you should havbeno problem with clear

[sacred sail]

yes but it's too difficult to get good damage on it

[wet mango]

?

[sacred sail]

because shattering is unarmed

herald scales of weapon

[wet mango]

ah

does that mean concoc is disabled if you equipa a weapon

or just that it doesn't use weapon stat

[sacred sail]

it means I need a +5 level of proj for my shattering concoction + ele dmg on attack AND super good phys dps for herald of ice

as you can

see

it'(s a bit tough

no I can use it with bow

I was using widow hail, for herald I switched to a normal bow

[wet mango]

well most bow builds want good dps, + proj anyway

so i don't see how it's too different

also i don't think flat ele on the weapon works for concoc, if it's unarmed

[sacred sail]

my concoction didn't need dmg on the bow

it does

[wet mango]

flat ele on jeweelry will work tho

[sacred sail]

because it's global

[wet mango]

wait, it literally gets disaplayed in the weapon stats

[sacred sail]

people told it, I tried it made me have more dmg to use an ele dmg rune on the bow

I wasted a rune to test

[wet mango]

like this, I'm 99% sure that ele dmg is part of weapon damage

[sacred sail]

soul core*

[wet mango]

not global

the soul core is "% incr ele dmg" right?

that's obv global

[sacred sail]

I'm talkging about the % ele damge on attack

[wet mango]

but you shouldn't need + flat ele

[sacred sail]

the flat dmg doesn't help concotion

but I need it for herald

that sucks

I need the %ele dmg to make me not lose dmg on concoction (not using widow hail)

[wet mango]

but my point is most bow builds want high phys dps and +proj skill and incr ele dmg anyway

so like, your situation isn't any worse than other bow builds

[sacred sail]

I see

[wet mango]

also i'm merc with explodes from my asc

[sacred sail]

idk I saw build with 400 phy dps

mine has

100

xD

[dry haven]

400 isnt that crazy i dont think

especialy if you count in things like % phys

[sacred sail]

I need + 5 proj and ele dmg, way more than the pds on the weapon. But I need the pds just for herald of ice and clear

can't even imagine how much money will I need

I need to look

so I can cry myself to sleep

:p

[static plinth]

Thats just 50 - 150 with a 1.0 aps. Quite bad

Oh wait misread

400 is a bit more but yeah thats just decent

[sacred sail]

yep

there is barely any bow

for me

and the few there is are very expensive

only one tbh

is even worth the bother

😔

[zenith root]

is this just a visual bug that it shows 1/10517 and not 1/1 or am i doing something wrong 😄

[gloomy pagoda]

How do I search Amulets with a Stormcharged allocated? in the poe trade site. I know about this filter for all allocated skills, but would prefer just to search that single skill

[waxen jewel]

Is "dance with death" just mega bugged or do I not understand weapon sets? I can't take that point for my weapon set II that has just 1h mace. My idea was that I just get free 25% more attack speed because the weapon switch is for leap slam only anyways

[tidal copper]

Read weapon set tooltip please

[sacred abyss]

So I ended up with a nice dual string bow, https://i.imgur.com/428BxSl.jpeg But it drops my DPS a bit

Question is which one is really better? is dps all ? I would think the extra projectile may help??

DPS with bowhttps://i.imgur.com/6MyWxWl.jpeg

dual string https://i.imgur.com/9NZxH0O.jpeg

[waxen jewel]

I literally as you said. It was, kinda well hidden for my defense@tidal copper

Makes sense, but kinda lame though.

[sacred abyss]

i plan on putting body rune on there too, once I get another orb

[tidal copper]

Agree tutorial sucks so much half of the time am directing people to #1308715317375270952 for information

[frosty arrow]

100 hours in first time I see a ring like that. Doubt it's very useful for most builds. Although for some weapon swapping builds maybe. Amount of slots is already quite generous

[snow sierra]

ive seen alot of those

[tidal copper]

100 hours where are you in game?

[waxen jewel]

Going for some scuffed Rage stack thing sounds something that would be possible with 20 points

[frosty arrow]

I've been playing like 3 or 4 characters in parallel

I'll probably beat cruel with my first one today or tomorrow

[tidal copper]

That makes sense
Dont try to reach end game too hard if your enjoying campaign its a lot different

[frosty arrow]

you know, the curse of RPG games. YOu make character, 10 hours in think of a new build. Try that. Cycle continues

[frosty arrow]

I'm not in a rush. I've been enjoying just messing with different characters

also, is cluster grenade really trashy or what

was looking forward to it, but it's kinda meh

[wet mango]

Is Ancient Aegis bugged still? (via anoint?)

[snow sierra]

No but it dos nearly nothing

its 150 something ES for me

like a small 12% note is better

[acoustic jasper]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/passive-tree/2dhpc015
build plan for my shield warrior, thoughts?

[pearl sluice]

Do you think I should pierce or chain my Spark?

[warm delta]

In Cruel, are there any bosses that give passive Spirit?

[graceful stag]

Maybe...

[jagged thunder]

do we know which levels do you unlock more sockets for weapon and/or ascendancy skills? i really need to know this specially for ascendancy like concoctions

why is this info not on wiki or something

[graceful stag]

Game is super new

[graceful stag]

More sockets off of a currency

[snow sierra]

ah god damit ggg adamant recovery dosnt work too

[jagged thunder]

you cannot socket ascendancy skills....

[graceful stag]

Oh misread u lmao

[jagged thunder]

i know they unlock more sockets at specific levels. i just don't know which specific levels

[copper canyon]

I hear act 3 cruel has bog witch again for another 30 spirit iirc

[jagged thunder]

i really need to know so i can plan my build better

i want to play concoctions so bad

[warm delta]

Damn. I need like 76 more spirit lol

[copper canyon]

Yeahh best bet is rolling spirit lines on gear 😔

[wet mango]

witch boss in act 3

[wet mango]

wiki is getting tons of stuff added each day

if you want to speed it along make an account and start helping xD

[warm delta]

Thanks yall

[static plinth]

Is there any way to search for specific Time-Lost modifiers on the trade site?

[snow sierra]

damm i spend half a million to rework my tree...only to find out that adamant recovery dos nothing

sad

[jagged thunder]

i did make a pathfinder on ssf but i moved to trade few days ago and can't go back to ssf anymore

only got that char to like cruel 2

[wet mango]

er so maybe not bugged like "can't use" but bugged in the sense of "not working right"?

[wet mango]

huhn what does that have to do with wiki

[snow sierra]

not sure how its supposed to work

[jagged thunder]

you said i should make a pathfinder and find out...

i did try..

cruel act 2. only 2 sockets

so maybe it takes a long while

[wet mango]

oh I meant make a wiki account and help out adding info

[copper canyon]

Do we know if split focus between different damage types is still bad like it was in poe 1?

[jagged thunder]

well i have to make a class to find the info in the first place lol

[opaque sparrow]

Can you still do stash tab trading? If so, how do I buy an item off someone like that

[wet mango]

pretty sure basic attack (and all granted skills) have the same socket progression?

[jagged thunder]

oh the weapon item level?

[wet mango]

no it's based off clvl iirc

[valid geode]

When it comes to builds even basic uniques seem to be selling for 1 div each but I am unable to farm for that kind of currency (or require incredible luck to get 1 of my many pieces of gears needed that just need basic things like resistances) and I never seemed to have this kind of issue in POE1. Like any advice with the market right now ? Like should I stop playing for some days until everything calms down and goes back to how it was or just waste hours and hours for like a few exalted orbs and pray to god I ger a divine once a blue moon ?

[snow sierra]

its this way caster weapons

[wet mango]

there are lots of builds that don't need uniques

[opaque sparrow]

Can you still do stash tab trading? If so, how do I buy an item off someone like that

[snow sierra]

it wont calm down just dont play a streamer build that needs a min 1 div unique to work

[valid geode]

But I would like to have fun and not play a build just because that's my only option :/

[pine lily]

Is there any sort of Archmage equivalent for physical attacks?

[azure granite]

Builds are endless

And not contingent on a specific piece of gear

[wet mango]

wdym your only option, you can just go thru the game without a guide. Most (well planned) stuff can at least get thru mid tier maps

many of us did

[snow sierra]

whats the unique to make your build work anyways ?

[valid geode]

yeh well I want to play Demon form but unless I have like 10 10%+ life regen socketed jewels I can't

[copper canyon]

You mean buying stuff ppl have for sale in their public stash tabs? Just log into poe2 website and go to trade

[valid geode]

and each are like 1 div each

or the people with 1-5 exalt are not selling them

[jagged thunder]

so my char is lvl82 right now with 4 sockets on basic attack.

i have no way of knowing how many sockets at lower level because i couldn't remember when i was leveling. but what if 3 sockets is level 70 - would be crazy slow

[static plinth]

1. Those arent uniques
2. There are other ways to sustain Demon Form

[snow sierra]

bullshit you just cant play the endgame version

limit your demon form to 10 stacks

[valid geode]

and do 0 dmg ?

[snow sierra]

get ghostweave and abit of reg and you will be fine

[jagged thunder]

so many tooltips in the game. they missed this part. well it's early access

[snow sierra]

case of "i want everything now" sure if you want the endgame version of your build you have to pay a few divs

[snow sierra]

thats like a summoner saying well gonna need a +5 scepter with spirit to even start

[valid geode]

I couldn't even do bosses tier 10 map with 50 demon form stacks

[vital plume]

whats a decent reliable way to farm currency to help build my character?

just farm maps 24/7?

[valid geode]

Was playin SRS CI Build, shittiest gear like 5 ex each piece and i could clear t15 maps so easily but that's no fun to me and my fps dies form the minions

[snow sierra]

farm maps and craft smart

[pine lily]

Is there any sort of Archmage equivalent for physical attacks?

[valid geode]

So much currency to go around .... I require to do like 3-5 breaches before I get 1 fkn exalt and like 1-2 vall orbs and maybe like 2 regals

with rarity on the maps like 90%

and to get those is pretty rare to begin with

[snow sierra]

thats not how you do it

[valid geode]

Enlighten me please cause I really don't get it

[vital plume]

wdym craft smart

[slow gate]

this item got no shot right because it doesn't have +levels to a spell type right or am I missing something

[snow sierra]

you are in trade league so you gotta trait, if you want to farm money effectivly, if you dont want to play the marked you need to atleast craft and sell

[valid geode]

I felt like I was getting more currency throughout the acts when I was just redoing maps because they had like 3-5 rares

[snow sierra]

so you use the ex you drop, to craft the bases you are getting, when you hit good stuff

and sell those craft

[slow gate]

the design of the staff look so damn cool but I can't imagine it getting close in damage without a +spells modifier

[snow sierra]

the only way to make consistent money i found, without considering lucky drops

[copper canyon]

Ye I dunno why you're on the showcase, and I didnt play poe 1 so I dunno if it works different there, but you need to go to Trade after signing into the poe 2 website. I dont think you can look at people's stash tabs or anything yet if thats what you were looking for

[snow sierra]

you fish with transmutes and auguments for good rolls on good bases, and if you hit one you regal it, if it still looks good, exalt it, and hope you get something worth 10-60 ex or hit ritch with even divs

[valid geode]

Why 1 div ?? Are they so rare, are there so few people playing and aquiring these uniques that they need to be 1 divine when i've seen like 3 throughout my 100 hours and I spammed the Crab in act 2 for like 5 hours before with 200% rarity. Like what

[thorn cargo]

Can I just apply dex gear everytime I want to cut support gem and then just unequip it?

[snow sierra]

because poplur youtuber put out a build

that is how the poe marked allways worked

you give youtubers builds they make a video, you sell

[azure granite]

I don't understand that

[snow sierra]

you rofl abit

[azure granite]

The entire point of the game is to find cool things

That's the entire game

[valid geode]

in POE1 I played the most like popular builds and I never had this issue

[snow sierra]

yes but if your cool things are the hot thing on youtube it will cost ya

[valid geode]

Yeh but not 1 Divine

[azure granite]

I'm saying why copy something

[valid geode]

How often do average people in endgame doing tier 15/16 maps see divines ?

[snow sierra]

Well i had the same issue in poe1 unreachable most builds from "videos"

you could only go for the low builds from ziz or trusted creators build to be cheap

[exotic aurora]

which invoker is the best the electric one or ice one

[snow sierra]

not for meme youtube video demon form, or hand of wistom and action builds

[valid geode]

I just want to play Demon Lady that can clear Breaches (because I have too many tablets of them and they usually have more loot) fast and be able to kill bosses and not take me 20 minutes while dodging everything

[snow sierra]

i did find non so far it as rare as exalts in poe1 did find those rarely too

[valid geode]

I'm not an intelectual guy with incredible POE knowledge, I don't understand how numbers work and stuff so I go to the internet to see other peoples creations

[snow sierra]

i understand that. But demon form is a build, as i understand that hardly works well in the best case, and needs a abused amount of min maxing to work. And has a entry barrier

[gilded nova]

I really need to know if this is any worth?
There's not a single one on Market...

[valid geode]

In POE1 I was abusing Magic Find so I was finding 10-50 Divines like every 2-3 Maps. But when I was playing my Minion build they were more rare but I was still getting currency to be able to work on my Min Maxxed Minion build

I was just using a different strat like delirium for my minions rather than the big loot goblin pathfinder shite

[snow sierra]

Well you can allways go back to poe1^^ i dont know what to tell you, the best solution i found is selfcrafting, selling what i dont need

poe2 is so popular that ppl playing the marked get insanely ritch

[tidal copper]

Raw currency is very rare,
You usually get raw currency trading the stuff you find like essences and omens

[valid geode]

Also too much gold needed to respec skill points

I can't even experiment it bothers me :/

[snow sierra]

you as a casual farmer are just a slave to them to make them ritcher, that how it worked in poe1 that how it works now. Only that poe2 is bigger

they reduced the gold cost alot

[valid geode]

still not enough :/

[wet mango]

nah i got 3 at like 60 or earlier

[snow sierra]

i give up, you seem just frustrated at the moment and looking for something fuel your frustration

Maybe sleep abit and tomorrow things allready look better

[inner mantle]

i need a big brain on this one... (i was using this when i first got my points early on and was owning, but respect to survive act 1 cruel) ....does this not scale to infinite damage +12% damage every time you do a different elemental damage and it just keeps stacking with 'Scatter Them to the Winds' bc its always doing a different element?

[valid geode]

Frustrated I can't play something I find cool and fun and instead have to stick with "play SRS until u have like 10 divines so then u can actually enjoy the fun thing u wanted".

[wet mango]

it's also price fixing/baiting ppl from poe1 who are used to div as the default currency.

[snow sierra]

if you want to play something instandly there is a game called diablo 4

[valid geode]

But yeh I guess it's just go back to the build I have the gear for....

[wet mango]

did you check the exalt price

[valid geode]

nah I'm good

[snow sierra]

i heard you can play everything there without any effort

[valid geode]

1 div = 80 ex

or so

[wet mango]

"recently"

also, "used" (triggered is not used)

[valid geode]

it was 25 ex like a week ago

[wet mango]

yes and how many ex is it now

[snow sierra]

you cant rly farm ex cause the div price keeps rising so no slow farming possible, gotta craft high value items to sell to those ritch ppl like i said

[valid geode]

in have at Alva it's like 70-80 ex

[valid geode]

gambling it is then

[snow sierra]

ye its insane its 10-20 ex more per day

[opaque sparrow]

Bruh

It takes me to his profile

[snow sierra]

yes gotta farm to gamble

thats the way

[opaque sparrow]

In fact, as soon as you hit trade on poe2's website, it takes you right back to poe1 website

[upper ivy]

Are doedre's tenure gloves a multiplicative damage increase, or an additive?

[last patio]

so what is the big use for frenzy charges outside of bow skills. Like where can ferocity be made useful?

[proud ore]

So when shoul i replace this for res yall think? Im currently tier 4 mapping and dont am not really struggiling yet, but when do yall think is a good time to replace. Atm if io take it off, it is a 1k dps loss

[last patio]

also I wanna complain again, I hate that plasma blast is hard fixed with a shit CD >:C

[mystic shard]

**have % dmg from mana first instead of life.

when u already have mind over matter, does it do anything?**

[static plinth]

No, MoM is just 100% of that stat

[mystic shard]

shame, thought it might reduce the mana lost or something

[halcyon solar]

is there actually any visual indicator for that "proximity" monster mod thing? The one where you can only do damge up close?

[prisma needle]

I read a reddit post earlier somewhere today someone having 500% Rarity Found rate, is that even possible without the use of a waystone?

[tidal copper]

Maybe with the belt and 2 mirror rings

[prisma needle]

belt and mirror rings? Can you name them? Sorry new to this

[static cipher]

does anyone have a suggestion for a fresh to maps 64 gemmling merc?

[tidal copper]

Mirror rings means perfect rings
Like " worth mirroring"
Belt is the unique of PoE2 that can potentially duplicate the effect of rings

[lunar totem]

I saw SpicySushi trying to craft lightning mods onto wands, but he was only using the Siphoning Wand and Attuned Wand.
What was the reason for this? Do the wands not all roll from the same pool?

[obtuse gorge]

anyone know any good ranger builds dm me plz

[wet mango]

"increased". Are you familiar with the diff between +/incr/more?

[tidal copper]

According to craft of exile there are separate pools for each elemental wand (don't quote me on this)

[tidal copper]

https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1319969577911980072

[wet mango]

yeah you take more dmg

[upper ivy]

Is more multiplicative, and increased additive.

[fathom thicket]

not a real build but is there potential using temple bell with warrior?

[prisma needle]

What do you mean unique Belt? As in an actual unique item or some unique modifier?

nvm found the belt in question

[fathom thicket]

trying to proc it with super high phys damage

[lunar totem]

Am I seeing something different, there's still a note at the top of Craft of Exile that says they don't know the weightings. But there's weighting data anyways?

[prisma needle]

man that is one expensive belt

[tidal copper]

They wrote 1 on everything

[lunar totem]

Am I dumb or is this different than what you're seeing

[magic hatch]

am i allowed to link my build in chat?

[tidal copper]

8 tiers 8 weight so 1 weight in each tier

Where are we getting lost?

[lunar totem]

Yeah this, I just forgot some of these had so many tiers

Understood

[tidal copper]

Sure go ahead
A small text about your question will be good for extended help open a #1308715058716610580 thread and link here

[haughty wadi]

how does "% of phys damage added as X damage" work with converted skills

[signal lake]

Why am I losing 10 int when putting controlled metamorphosis?

[magic hatch]

just wondering what are people's thoughts on my build, first time playing PoE but familiar w ARPG's
https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/m7c850vc

[tidal copper]

Sure you could use a different, ascendency but grenades are solid a different flavour of grenades won't perform too bad I don't think

[tacit lichen]

When skills talk about "base damage" what exactly is it referring to? For example Lvl 1 Lightning Arrow deals 85% of base damage. The skill itself then converts 40% of phys dmg to lightning dmg, and fires beams at 100% phys dmg as lightning.

Assuming my bow does 100 phys dmg (ignore dmg ranges for simplicity), 100 cold, and 100 lightning. How much dmg does lvl 1 Lighting Arrow do assuming no other modifiers?

Lightning arrow base dmg: 51 dmg, 85 cold, 119 lightning? (-34 phys, +34 lightning due to conversion) and the beams deal 85 lightning?

[last patio]

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

omg

I was just about to retire chronomancer and then I see this

this makes me feel dumb, always some savant that comes up with shit like a 27 second time freeze LOL

how do you turn 3 seconds into 27 seconds!?

[celest oxide]

As someone new to POE, I see a lot of complaints about POE and POE2 systems that I didn't expect to see honest

But also, I haven't been able to play for 3 days, have things with the meta and economy gotten that bad?

[tidal copper]

You can see the DPS breakdown I think that'll solve a lot of this
I believe that even though your cold isn't affected by anything as an attack all weapon mods get on the skill so first part will also be cold DMG
Second part of the skill am not sure

[tacit lichen]

wait, there's a detailed dps breakdown in game?

[tidal copper]

Right?? Where the fuck is the tutorial GGG

Is a small arrow in the gem menu

[peak bronze]

Hi do u guys know of any cool full fire based sorc builds? I’ve only seen fireball and icewall

[tidal copper]

Click buttons

[tacit lichen]

I knew there some some extra info in there, had no idea there was a breakdown. Thanks, just probably need to reverse engineer the math.

[scenic dawn]

Chrono is honestly broken if used right

[tacit lichen]

The only thing I've noticed about the economy is what typically happens in a new league after a few days. The majority of the game is now moving into the endgame and things like exalts are no longer inflated due to scarcity.

[wet mango]

i believe they work at the same layer(but have lower prio in case of overconversion).
(or, I could be wrong, and it's a 2nd step after skill conversion)

[last patio]

bro I've spent this entire time exploring chrono build ideas, I've made a chronomancer with a quarterstaff, a crossbow, and a mace, all trash. Can't believe I'm seeing something that works now

[tidal copper]

I dunno
Price fixing and people abusing are always a fact personally as a very casual player I barely notice it

[last patio]

actually time freeze is the only thing I HAVEN'T fucked with because I thought it was only gonna be 3s

[wet mango]

85% of 300. The beams deal 100% of 300. Then, damage modifiers are applied to that.

[last patio]

I had considered stacking as much slow as possible, but I didn't think something like that could happen

[tidal copper]

I feel you!
All my builds suck too QQQ

[wet mango]

the beam for example would do 200 lightning and 100 cold (then apply modifiers)

[tacit lichen]

I think messed up my explaination a bit, but the beam isn't affected by the base? so 200 lightning or 200 lightning(.85)?

[wet mango]

omg @white stone the sorc thread has "maximum possible followers" so I can't post in it xD

[white stone]

what the hell

haha

[cyan jackal]

i play ice strike monk i interest to add node to my amulet what node you guys recommended?

[wet mango]

do you know if (or can post and ask if) the ice pillars (e.g. from Frost wall) can be shocked? Can they be frozen?

[wet mango]

wdym

the beam has 100% of base right?

or i misread

[tacit lichen]

lvl 1 lightning arrow deals 85% base attack dmg. The beam only says that it converts 100% of phys to lightning.

[wet mango]

ah ok. I misunderstood.

so both the proj and beam have 85%

so beam would be 170 lighting and 85 cold (then apply modifiers)

[pale pulsar]

what site is this?

[tacit lichen]

thanks, thats what I thought. Basically all local attack values are added together * base dmg of skill, and then you start multiplying in all the increases/more etc.?

[pale pulsar]

oh a little scrolling and i think i found it

[hasty meadow]

how does stat stacking works? like more specific stat, give more dmg or smth?

[wet mango]

0. do all the steps below for local weapon mods to get a single "weapon damage"
1. combine/collect all damage ranges
   ||2a. damage range modifiers like ryslathas or heft||
2. rng to pick damage
3. skill conversion (and other conversion)
4. damage modifiers (incr/more)

[last patio]

how in the world is mobalytics more popular than maxroll for build planning/guides? I rarely see people sharing maxroll

despite it being worlds better in every way

[white stone]

i have no idea, sorry

[tacit lichen]

That's what I thought, thanks for the easy to understand info!

[wet mango]

the "notes" section in maxroll unfortunatley is tiny

lots of scrolling

mobalytics lets you write words for each diff section (skills, tree, etc)

[last patio]

oh that's fair enough I guess. Idk if you've messed with the passive tree in maxroll but it's a work of art. Even has alt info like in-game

[wet mango]

yeah i like the tree and skills /much/ better in maxroll

[chilly mist]

so lightning arrow, does this skill benefit from extra lightning damage on weapon?

[elder nebula]

the explosion tab says "100% attack damage" is it 100% of my weapon dmg or is it 100% dmg of the skill that i used with this gem?

[scarlet kettle]

does anyone know if Echoing Flames increases damage done by arsonists?

[dry haven]

does this mean i have 14 points used or 14 available?

[frosty arrow]

how does this have so many modifiers. 8?

[tacit lichen]

mana/mana regen and spirit/light radius are both hybrid stats I believe. Despite giving 2 bonuses a piece, it's just one mod.

[rose sable]

would anyone be willing to join me in a chat and explain why my ranger build does 0 damage

[dry haven]

anyone?

[static plinth]

You can allocate 14 weapon set points, but you have 0 points to spend on them

[dry haven]

is there any way to see where i spent them?

[humble spoke]

how do i increase the skill slots in my basic attack?

[static plinth]

You havent spent them, you need normal passive points to allocate to the weapon slots instead of your base passive tree

[scenic dawn]

We have a separate skill tree for weapons?

[tacit lichen]

if you're not specifically swapping between your two sets, it is adding to your general passive tree. You can click on skill tree 1 and unallocate up to your maximum you have (14) in this case, and put those 14 in passives specifically for that set. Then you can click on #2 and do the same. Once they're allocated, they appear in two different colors

[static plinth]

You can allocate up to 20 points to each of your two weapon sets instead of your entire passive tree yeah

[humble spoke]

how do i increase the support skill slots in my basic attack?

[scenic dawn]

How do you get to that tree on controller?

[tacit lichen]

higher level weapon

[humble spoke]

what if im using widowhail?

[static plinth]

Im gonna be honest, god only knows

[frosty arrow]

You don't get them as just 20 extra points though. I was confused at first. Basically out of all your passive points 20 can be applied to just one weapon set, or both

[scenic dawn]

Ah rip no worries homie

[dry haven]

dosent that just make using that system plain worse than not? like why would i limit it to one set when i could use it on 2?

[frosty arrow]

No, because you may have different weapons for different skills

[static plinth]

I had a weapon set with a wand, and one with a bow. My first weapon set had additional cast speed, while my second had additional attack speed, saving me ~5 points if i had taken both on my base passive tree

[frosty arrow]

It will all make sense once we have more weapons

Mercenary will be great for swap builds

[wanton juniper]

Yea you get 24 points by end game. You can keep them in sync and send them on the same path as if the system didn't exist. Or you can split them and go different ways

[humble spoke]

will my quiver work for it

[scarlet kettle]

does anyone know if Echoing Flames increases damage done by arsonists?

[astral willow]

is there any point in leveling blasphemy? as far as I can tell it doesn't change anything

[lone wave]

now what is a darkness monk to do with the skill slots I can no longer use persistent passives in

[umbral spoke]

can i ask why the main hand total dmg isnt 714-1360? how does the lighting dmg get added its confusing to me

i would asume the dmg per use calcs in the crit change / crit dmg on average

[wide dune]

sweet jesus

i found some crit on the tree!

[blazing shore]

So I’m planning to switch to a new build but it’s requiring multiple types of jewellers orbs for the skills support slots to put it together ‘fully’ is that necessarily needed or can I just use 2-3 support slots for each skill for now just wondering cause I’m only up to Cruel Act 3 so far and haven’t gotten any ‘fancy’ jewellers orbs lul

[warm delta]

Infernalist with demonform question. I have all of the life regen possible, 2x mings heart, etc. i have 75hp with 122 life regen a second.

Why can I only hit 120 demonflame before i start relying on life flask to get me to 150 before I have to transform back.

[wheat elk]

So I need to figure something out

Heft support is a 30% maximum damage boost right? Is that more powerful than a generic 30% more boost or does a generic boost make both the low and max value 30% higher?

[wide dune]

the maximum increase makes the window wider

minimum stays the same

30% more normally is both sides

[static plinth]

You lose a minimum of 1 life per demonflame

[wheat elk]

Thank you. Trying to put together a silly build and need to know this information :P

guys does it make sense to go triple stat build as a league starter ? with hands of wisdom and pillar of god ? and im lvl 30 monk rn which ascendancy would be strong for triple stat build ?

Endless Munitions?

Same idea as Scattershot, but obviously just one extra projectile

So like if you're firing Fragmentation Rounds, you go from 10 projectiles to 11. If you're firing High Velocity, it's 2 per shot

[forest spoke]

Okay so it’s a single shot skill it’s 2 at a time and if it’s a rapid fire it’s just +1 to clip size? Essentially?

[copper idol]

No, it's always just +1 projectile

It's just that Frag Rounds (and the other shotgun style skills) are already firing a bunch of projectiles

So adding 1 doesn't do much

[forest spoke]

What about Shockburst Rounds?

[copper idol]

Two at a time

[forest spoke]

So if the clip is 15 you shoot 30? Lol

[copper idol]

Not sure if they can both hit the same target though. Anyone know how shotgunning projectiles works in POE2?

No, you shoot 15, but each shot has 2 projectiles

Doesn't affect clip size any

[forest spoke]

But that’s still 30 projectiles if it’s a 15 round clip no?

[copper idol]

Technically, just wanted to make sure you understood that it doesn't affect clip size

It's not like a buy-one-get-one thing lol

[forest spoke]

Yeah I get it, sorry I’m playing Shockburst Deadeye rn and it’s really hard to tell how many projectiles there are

So I wanted to double check

Cuz it genuinely seems crazy that it’s the way it works

Ty tho

Big help

[copper idol]

Shockburst only fires 1 projectile at a time, so yea adding Endless Munitions would make it fire two in a V-like pattern

[sullen iron]

Is Widowhail good for ranger or more for sorc?
i just got one at lvl 7 it dropped haha

[forest spoke]

I forget what I’m currency using but I don’t think I’m using that support so far

But it already seems crazy

[tidal copper]

You can use it for both
Concoctions are good for it
Dunno if anything for deadeye

[mellow escarp]

Do nodes like these that don't specify "You/Your" apply to my minions?

[calm pasture]

Do we know if Ingenuity works additively or multiplicatively with bonuses from ring quality?

[agile pelican]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/fsif9013

This is my current set of gear, what should i look to upgrade?

[copper idol]

I think things that apply to minions will always specifically state they apply to minions, so no. I may not be 100% accurate, though

[frosty arrow]

I love how siege cascade homes in on the pots and breakable stuff

[copper idol]

If I grab a node that lets me apply a second stack of poison, will the UI tell me there's two poisons on an enemy, or is it just going to display the same icon as a single poison?

[tidal copper]

I like the contrast between the weapon and the rest of the equipment I'll start with rings ig

[mellow escarp]

I see, thanks

[agile pelican]

Is that because my weapon is good and the rest is trash?

[tidal copper]

Damm you don't have to be do hard on your equipment
No wonder it doesn't come to you

[agile pelican]

I'm low on exalts atm but my next few are going to add more mods to boots then maybe ring

[tidal copper]

Add mods ring? Find a new one no? Those are pretty ok yeah trash
Like I feel like you can get blue rings that would be better

Think that if they are old they'll be low item level too

[agile pelican]

Both of my rings are low required level but I haven't been able to craft anything with good res on them

[tidal copper]

Buying might work too? Gambling will be the last option maybe you have to rerun some zones in SSF idk

[agile pelican]

I'm just running campaign until I hit a brick wall but I'm trying to at least understand how I'm trying to upgrade

[tidal copper]

On this game? Find any decent base on the floor and make it magic
This will take a ton of currency but 2 good mods is pretty good already

[agile pelican]

Yeah I've been picking up every white and blue base I'm using

But I feel like my assement of ranges might be a bit skewed

If it's not obviously better I'll probably not use it

Oh I found a div my exalts problem will be solved for a while

[prime idol]

I need some help with the melee guide, currently at 88% phys res, 76% ele res, 75% chaos res, 75% block, 2500 hp, +19.6% ms., and still one shot by the pinnacle boss. Any suggestions on how to survive?

[thorn cargo]

How do I distinguish a monster with chaos damage? I'm attempting to move on map t3 t4, ES and MoM are incredibly strong, and I'm nearly immortal, but I was oneshot by a chao hit

[tidal copper]

Yeah I dunno
Personally I have been running magic gear until I got fed up and bought a couple of decent items
I didn't drop anything usable everything felt like such a small gain
So I ended up with a ton of life+rarity pieces

People recommend using runes

[copper idol]

Does the attack/spell look purple of like poison? If so, probably chaos, lol.

Otherwise it's just learning & memorization

[zinc quarry]

I'm level 71 on ranger and trying to get more spirit. Currently at 134 from +45 on body and +59 on amulet. What am I missing?

need more from body i guess?

[static plinth]

70 points from the campaign, lol

[copper idol]

Likely. I don't think you can get spirit from anything but Chest, Amulet, and scepters

And yea the 100 base from completing the campaign lol

[static plinth]

Unique helmet and shield, too

• Grand Spectrums but those are like 4 div a pop and you need 3

[zinc quarry]

I thought I had already completed the campaign...im in endgame

[static plinth]

You should do your side quests. Like half of them grant permanent bonuses, like elemental resistances, mana regen, or spirit

One of the bosses even gives % maximum life

[copper idol]

30 from King in the Mists in Normal, 40 from Azak Bog in Cruel, and I forget the other 30

[static plinth]

Azak Bog in normal

[zinc quarry]

I did all of the ones with the cross already

[copper idol]

How much spirit do you have total?

134?

[zinc quarry]

yeah

[copper idol]

Yea you're missing two side quests worth of spirit

Go look to see if you've completed Azak Bog on Normal & Cruel

[thorn cargo]

Well that weird cause you can get 100 spirit from main quest

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/getting-started/permanent-stats-from-campaign

Check this

[calm forge]

does anyone know why decaying hex doesn't work with blasphemy even though it lets me link it to a curse on blasphemy?

trying to figure out if there's some condition to make it work, idk why they would let me link it if it isn't meant to interact. decaying hex doesn't say it's only for curses you cast yourself so idk

[zinc quarry]

fuckin hell

[astral willow]

maybe ebcause it's technically an aura? only thing I could think of

[calm forge]

maybe? but that's odd bc the description says this

shouldn't this work on any cursed mob? or am i wasting my time w this one lol

[static plinth]

Its either bugged, or the description omits "curses you cast yourself"

[calm forge]

there's other weird stuff with blasphemy too, like it lets you link expanse but it has no effect

[static plinth]

There is no way to make it work

[static plinth]

You can link anything, doesn't mean it'll support it

[calm forge]

hmm okay. my experience so far has been that the game will say you can't link something if it doesn't interact

welp, w.e nbd

[static plinth]

The game doesnt take into account if you have conflicting supports and such (See: Unleash + Expanse)

[calm forge]

ig that would make sense then. that's disappointing tho for sure

[static plinth]

Yeah 😔

[maiden stag]

How do weapon skill points share skill points with regular passive skillpoints?

[frosty arrow]

weapon skill points basically tells you how many normal skill points you can split between weapon sets

let's say you have 20 skill poins, and 5 weapon skill points. You could just put all 20 into one passive tree, and it will apply to both weapons. Or you could do 15, and then do 5 for weapon one, and 5 for weapon two

[feral halo]

for sorc are the skills/spells considered "attacks"?

[fervent relic]

no

spells are not attacks

[faint silo]

What is the most summons you've seen from one Witch in this game? In PoE1 I had upwards of 50 at a time at one point.

[calm forge]

including the unearth minions and raging spirits you can prob easily get to like 30 or 40

[fervent relic]

Where would you guys improve this build? I have a big lightning resist hole that I need to fix. Not sure which piece of armor to replace. Probably the rings or the amulet? Circlet?

In case anyone was wondering, I asked a question earlier about if Gas Grenade would apply multiple poisons if I had modifiers to my max poisons per enemy. The answer is yes, yes it does apply multiple poisons.

How do I get more honour resistance for the 3rd trial?

[thick dune]

Is the Interaction between EB and Everlasting gaze a bug that will be fixed, or is it an intended mechanic seeing as how it is only viable if you put so manmy skill points into building the ES given by ammy?

[quiet mango]

Hey guys just got under 2k mana and running archmage. Is there anything I can do to fix the mana issue with it?

[thorn cargo]

Got it, thank you

[thick dune]

I just got Everlasting Gaze, I dont know if it's worth takign the time to try to get a sorc up or not. Is the interaction between it and EB a bug that will be patched, or does it actually work as intended?

If its a bug I will just sell it while prices are still high

[storm willow]

"chance to avoid death" what does that mean?

[peak solstice]

For end game maces on Titan class, what kind of stats should i be looking for?

[wet mango]

What is the interaction?

[wet mango]

If a hit would kill you, instead it doesn't

[thick dune]

EB turns your energy shields into mana, but everlasting gaze gives you energy shield so you can have both mana and energy shield

[wet mango]

Not sure if it puts you at 1 hp or the hit fully misses

[wet mango]

That's intenteded

[storm willow]

[wet mango]

Both conversion steps happen simultaneously

[mint glacier]

Any way to make Frenzy Charges give me movement speed?

[valid palm]

Greetings. Got a couple of questions regarding the exposure thingy. So, first of all, just wanted to clarify. Exposure % is detracted from the res % of the monster, correct? So if the enemy has 50% cold res and I apply 50% cold exposure, then the enemy will end up having 0% cold res. Additionally, the penetration will only apply after that, not before. Am I being correct in my understanding?

Second thing, how does the negative resistance calculation affect my damage? If I were to send the boss into let's say 30% negative cold res, does that mean that ALL of my cold damage will be increased by 30% compared to the boss having 0% cold res? Because right now I already have access to 52% cold exposure. And by the time I get to about 70% of my build path, I will have access to about 82%. Meaning that I will be able to send every boss into negative cold res. Since, as far as I know, none of have their resistances being that high. So I wanted to make sure that I understand how does this interaction play out.

And last thing. Does the penetration affect the negative resistances? As in, if I send the boss into -30% and I have 50% penetration, will this -30% effectively become -15%? Or will the pen only apply to positive res? Because I don't really want the pen making my cold exposure weaker, xd.

[hollow sandal]

about 86%

[ruby chasm]

Is min maxing mf efficent in poe2?

Or is it better to minmax dps for loot/h generally

[fair surge]

Hmm i just found an orb of annulment

Is that rare?

[thin trout]

so even at 100% evasion you can still get hit right? I'm not there yet but I'm close and was just curious lol

[uneven yacht]

is the aftershock based on the volanic fissure, or based on your different slam?

[queen crypt]

Any recommended Invoker builds for Cruel difficulty? Playing Skryah's Ice Strike build currently and it's really strong, provided you can freeze in time - but gets melted otherwise.

[agile meteor]

I feel like i dont do much dmg. Can you check in free time and tell me how to increase dmg?
Here is build and my items: https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/pgix90va
I have 5500 Energy shield. I am tanky
I got 11 arsonists
Help please! I can't finish 4th Trial of sekhana to get 4th class ascention 😦

[static spade]

If you increase the limit of solar orb, are you be able to fire your Flameblast on both orbs?

[thick nest]

wait so witches arsonists don't explode their perma minions with Explosive Demise? It only does it to those temporary minions?

or does the fact i put Minion Instability on the skeletal warrior make them immune to be used for Explosive Demise?

[queen crypt]

They do, yes. They need to be low health. There is a red glow when they are ready to be exploded.

[thick nest]

Yeah i know the red glow, it only ever is on the temp minions.
Does MInion Instability not allow the skeletal warriors to be used by Explosive Demise 😮

[queen crypt]

You can force it with (I think) Infernal Legion support to reduce their life constantly.

[thick nest]

I need to test this more, i think minion instability messes with it

[indigo stag]

Gotta take care that they dont have too much fire res and liferegen (also priests) so they actually lose hp

[thick nest]

because it does not let me sacrifice them at any point

[indigo stag]

Too low gem level so it needs the minion to be at less than 50hp or something equally stupid?

You can check the arsonists explosion stats to see the health treshold

I think i made my warriors unable to be used with them due to them exploding to minion instability before they reached the activation point

[thick nest]

instability support gem makes them auto die as well when they reach a certain threshold, maybe im just at an awkward spot yeah

ill check

[indigo stag]

there is couple of those times when the stars align and your shit prevents you from using your other shit for a while

can be fixed by moving supports around

[tranquil raptor]

hey, i'm totally new to poe, maybe someone has a link to minion build? because there's no way i'm gonna manage one by myself

Old hc poe1 player, started poe2 a week ago, having a great time but I'm old now and would like to find a chill to play mercenary build for SC. Am I in the right place to ask?

[uneven yacht]

why does it feel like armour doesn't do much?
Im at 66% dr currently

Are you meant to mix armour with other stuff?
Im a warrior.

[scenic dawn]

Does anyone know if the black flame ring would be any good on a explosive concoction build as it converts all ignite damage to chaos?

[scenic dawn]

It doesn’t feel like it does much unless it’s near max sadly

[indigo stag]

Everything is shit compared to energy shield and/or MOM builds atm.

[uneven yacht]

what is MOM?

[indigo stag]

Sure you can have 4k hp and 60% resistance to phys dmg. But the other guy rocks 2k hp and 6k mana which regens faster than enemies can dmg him

Mind over matter

You use mana as health

Or some silly energy shield fella slapping on a 30spirit costing ability that basically doubles his energy shield to 20k

Kinda leaves hp/armor builds in the dust

[uneven yacht]

feels like they are neglecting warrior
at least monk is a glass cannon from what i seen

[indigo stag]

warrior feels like its in a really weird place with all the slow slams

[scenic dawn]

I’m running merc full armour and I’m surviving just fine but that’s cause my health regen is crazy

[uneven yacht]

even the normal attack from 2h maces take forever, i genuienly couldn't fight countess (the ghost lady in act1) with it lol
I had to switch to dual wield 1handed and since then i have been using that

[indigo stag]

the mace attacks need much more added stun resistance while swinging

Feels great to do a 15sec setup for a insane dmg slam and then you get stunned out of it due to white mob throwing shit at your face

[uneven yacht]

heh heh that happens?

i just want them to fix the weird hitboxes on giant bosses and not have them have practically infinite stun threshold

[valid palm]

Hm. Comet has a base cast time of two seconds (Including the "+1 second total cast time"). Why then does it add 300 energy to the cast on freeze energy pool and not 200? Is it because whenever comet is put into the cast on freeze, it adds 1 second to both its cast time and cast on freeze's total cast time? Tbh this seems more like a bug to me. I don't care about the nerfes, it just doesn't work as it says it should. Am I missing something out in the description?

[uneven yacht]

also pretty lame i can't run cascade on earthquake ngl
( i assume thats for all slams, again lame)

[agile meteor]

Omen scepter is better ?

[snow storm]

heyo, which defensive stat is best to build? im planning to go ES but im wondering if it needs evasion or armour, too

[indigo stag]

mana

and you convert all that ES in to more mana 😄

[mortal lodge]

Does the infernalist demonform work with CI? I read that you can't transform into it with CI, is that true?

[indigo stag]

well.. With CI you have 1 hp. And you lose 0.5% of it per sec per demonflame

So i would assume you wont be in demonform very long

Or it drains your energy shield way faster than you can ever regenerate it

[snow storm]

sounds cool. how about for main stat equipment? just go ES, ya?

[astral willow]

No, it doesn't work. You have to be above 1 life to activate demon form

[mortal lodge]

Thank you!

[indigo stag]

Mind over matter and just amass maximum mana and mana regen. %increased ES in the tree does nothing if you convert it to more mana with eldritch battery

Sure ES on gear gets switched to mana aswell

My infernalist felt like she could facetank 50x more than she could before i went EB+MOM

[mint prawn]

is archer ascendancy skill eagle eye good to take ?

[snow storm]

haatsku

[astral willow]

you can get some gear that adds ES back independent of EB/MOM. Ghostwrithe, Atziri's Disdain, and The Everlasting Gaze all lets you have ES with that combo active

[indigo stag]

It has the added benefit of you basically having 2x the life flasks others do since your mana flask also "technically" heals you

[indigo stag]

Doesnt it just convert the extra ES in to mana anyway?

[astral willow]

nope

[indigo stag]

interesting

[indigo stag]

Wouldnt still go for it tho 😄 Far better helmets for infernalist summoners

[tall valve]

Hello. ive come across passive that converts all evasion to armor. What benefit would that give me? if i havent put a lot of stats on high evasion might be just better go ful armor ?

[indigo stag]

iron reflexes?

Allows you to gear using dex/evasion gear while gaining dmg reduction typical to armor instead

So, if you dont like getting randomly 1hit, you can shift your ability to dodge in to ability to block attacks with your face without dying

[tall valve]

hmm ty. ive been playing with it for maybe 3 lvls now (im lvl 64 now) and its just a little bit hard to know how effective armor/evasion is in the grand scheme of things

[indigo stag]

armour makes you take less physical dmg
Evasion allows you a chance to avoid it completely

[tall valve]

ah ok

[indigo stag]

neither does shit to a fireball to a face tho (unless you take something that allows you to reduce elemental dmg via armour)

[tall valve]

thats probably why i die so easily 😄

but at least i kill everyone with no difficulty. as long as i dont die before hand

[indigo stag]

resistances to 75%+ is kinda needed 😄

Tho i reached t6+ maps with less than 20% on all resistances, but i REALLY would not suggest even attempting that shit

[tall valve]

thats sounds thrilling tho 😄

[snow storm]

is there a delay on energy shield recharge from Zealot's Oath?

[fair fiber]

hey guys

im fairly new to the game playing as a lvl 42 titan

can you actually make the Giant's blood passive skill work before reaching high levels?

and without ascending 2 times and getting the 50% increased small passive effect?

I just can't get around having enough strength to wield a two handed mace and a shield at the same time at lvl 42

[indigo stag]

you are almost 50% done with the tutorial, there are plenty of times to get upgrades for you to go

[last thorn]

I'm trying to understand the support gem Brutality's text better. If I place them on skeleton reaver minions, does that mean they do 35% more damage (considering they do physical damage) OR does it mean they're physical attacks are just more physical? (essentially not adding anything)

[indigo stag]

They do 35% MORE physical dmg but are unable to do ele or chaos dmg.

is a biiiiig dmg upgrade if the minion does pure physical dmg

[rocky stream]

Hi guys, do you know if the default attack skill gets 4/5 Support sockets ever? If so, at which levels?

[last thorn]

ah ok, ty! was just making sure

How do I unlock these? it said test of cunning but I always got test of time at the end

Test of cunning is the third floor. Maybe you have to just do a 3-floor one?

[thorn cargo]

Oh that right Im grinding to get honour resistance before doing the 3rd

Hey guys could u let me know in ur opinion best site to follow a build?

Was just looking at maxroll and mobalitcs at my build and they are completely different and I do wonder witch is best

[snow sierra]

guys what do you think needs the least amount of investment to do dmg to clear t16 ? Detonte death ? Minions ? i need a skill that dos respectable dmg with the lowst amount of skillpoints and gear slots allocated to dmg

[indigo stag]

I wouldnt really follow any guides at this point. Everything is so new and almost all the builds i have checked have had some really interesting bad choices..

[queen crypt]

Does anyone have a build guide for levelling an Invoker Monk? I'm trying to follow Skryah's (https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/8l3l90z1), but I'm so ridiculously squishy that pretty much anything one-shots me in Act 3. Have died probably 50+ times on Monk, and not even finished Normal whereas my Witch has died < 10 times and is in T6 maps.

Grim feast works with eldritch battery? How? Isn’t all ES mana or am I misunderstanding the node

In that case does meditate not also work?

[indigo stag]

grim feast doubles your ES. If you convert all ES to mana via EB. you are effectively doubling 0.

[rapid seal]

Can someone share a cold sorc build?

[tranquil steeple]

I see people with the mom, ci and eb combo getting double their mana with grim feast

[bronze stirrup]

Hey guys. I'm doing a "Giants Blood" build (two-hander in one hand, triple stat req on weapon) and need to find ways to build around the massive str requirements for weapon upgrades. Any ideas how to solve that? Are there tricks I might miss, besides looking at str nodes in the tree and getting a ton on gear?

[tranquil steeple]

Unless it’s not grim feats but idk what else

[indigo stag]

most likely using one or more of the uniques that allows you to make % of life in to ES

how does it even work as mana? It doubles the max but doesnt regen until it falls below the normal max?

[rapid seal]

Thats it, flat str and strenght nodes on gear. U need maces with max 150-170 requirement, and 400+ str stat

Probably around lvl 70+ with decent gear to support it

[tranquil steeple]

Their life is 1 % of life does nothing though

[kind talon]

how much fire pen is too much?

[thick nest]

so if you have a scepter giving you say, level 7 skeletal warriors. and you use a lesser gem to give you 3 slots for support gems, and you replace that scepter, that skill gem is back down to 2 slots right?

[lyric plank]

For the sniper build is this worth it over the 32% damage from the warrior one

[long peak]

So question, the Polcirkeln ring says "Enemies chilled by your hits can be shattered as though frozen" - I'm an ice strike monk, does this mean I no longer have to do a Shattering Palm > Ice Strike to detonate and blow up the pack with Hearld of Ice or am I missing something?

[bronze stirrup]

you can't gem the skills from weapon iirc

[hollow zephyr]

when buying item do you guys see physical dps or physical damage ?

[thin trout]

what is the point of acrobatics? when it says CAN evade all hits..

[bronze stirrup]

you can only evade projectiles or spells otherwise

[native burrow]

I think one big problem of the current gem system is the inability to share support gems. Correct if I'm wrong because it's been a long time, but in PoE 1 you could have for example, 2 skill gems and 2 support in one piece of gear and the support gems would apply to both skills.

It's very annoying needing seperate support gems for my: Skeleton Warriors, Skeleton Archers and Infernal Hound

[bronze stirrup]

with acrobatics evasion applies to everything

[thin trout]

thats fair, but im currently at 87% evasion, is it worth taking it, when losing 70% of that?

[bronze stirrup]

same thing as the "you can block all hits" from warbringer - you need to specifically build around it

i.e. stack ungodly amounts of it

then it is very strong

[thin trout]

what would be a proper amount, to classify taking it as good?

[bronze stirrup]

can't help you there, Im a dumb warr 🙂

[thin trout]

on the warr part, not dumb haha

[covert moon]

hello, if I want to know my critical damage bonus, I have to use this formula :
(2++x% to Critical Damage Bonus) * x% increased Critical Damage Bonus right ?

because when I put all my crit sources in my google sheet, I get 1025% critical damage bonus, but in game, my attack shows only +715% so something is wrong with my sheet

[valid palm]

Uh, where does the "2" come from? You simply multiply your base critical damage bonus, which is 100%, by the % increase to it that you get.

[covert moon]

uh right what a stupid error, but even then I get 603% now lol, i'm not very good at all that stuff

[valid palm]

Do you have any changes made to your base critical damage bonus?

[covert moon]

I wish there was a breakdown somewhere in game of the values

[valid palm]

How do you even reach 715% bonus damage...

What level are you?

[covert moon]

I wasn't applying my quiver, my sheet is now at 692% which is still off 😦
