[void heart]

I'm just seeing if you can get damage out of it from a jewel

Since it's basically 100% uptime

Ok i guess it doesnt. Grim ritual has the consume wording as a comparison

[pure edge]

anyone want me to help to create a demon witch early/mid game? I probably need to stack it to max 10 stacks but I am fine with that.

prob not for hardcore but I don't mind.

[coral dagger]

do i add more +60% elemental damage with attacks or +40% physical damage? i have like 94% phys to lightning conversion

[vivid dome]

how does on-crit spirit gem work with channeled spells? Would it fire plasma blast?

[ashen shell]

i think phys cuz it affects the base weapon but idrk

[coral dagger]

yeag idk either

definitely phys UNLESS the elemental damage with attacks is applied after the physical damage is converted in the attack

but i cant find any information detailing how it works

[dark lintel]

Is this good enough for the long run?

[finite basin]

does over 100% conversion do anything?

[sour shuttle]

Too low of a level to last forever, good to level with tho. Although its missing attack speed, life leech

[inland pelican]

what are some max life increasing uniques? already got kaoms heart and veil of the night

or any special max life modifiers that might make sense on a very high hp build

[sour shuttle]

Chaos ignores energy shield, so yes

[sour shuttle]

Use the poe trade and just search for unique and chose what slot you want and % life increase

Choose

Jewels are going to be a good spot to get % max life

[pearl sluice]

guys i switched from the +1 to the +3 sceptre. Same minion skill

[urban vessel]

what should i get on a belt for lightning mage?

[pearl sluice]

i wanna put back in the support gems i had with the +1 but its not working.. why?

[sour shuttle]

It should tell you why

Oh I already see it

[pearl sluice]

there is no explanation and it doesnt make sense to me xD

[sour shuttle]

The first one has reduced attribute requirements

So you lack a stat

[pearl sluice]

gem requirements are fine. It says there it can support the warrior

[finite basin]

Emm chaos damage deals double damage to shields in poe 2 and only poison ignores it. I was asking if that corruption to 111% changes anything from it being 100%.

[tacit garnet]

hi! Is it better to use the +2 minion skill scepter or the 50% increased damage to minions one?

[subtle gust]

I'm in early game right now. Act 2 normal, but I'd like to somewhat have a plan for endgame. Trying to run a galvanic shards build rn. Anybody have any tips for me?

[thorny token]

yes run it wih shockburst rounds for single target eventually

[sour shuttle]

It's a good corruption, instead of 100% you get an additional 11% on top

[thorny token]

and thats about it very simple

[pearl sluice]

so maybe the support gem thing is a bug?

[lethal python]

anyone plays gas arrow here?

[delicate aspen]

I am playing gas arrow, yeah

[pearl sluice]

@sour shuttle the ability on the scepter with the lvl 16 warriors was the problem.
i could equip it but the warriors itself had a higher requirement.
Damn, this game is outraging xD

[lethal python]

how you scale it? im stuck and idk where to squeeze dmg more, im early maps tho lol

[sour shuttle]

You can plan for a build to some degree, any/most builds require adjustments as you go. The reason for this is that using points to get to a specific noteable is a waste when there are more Efficient nodes closer to what you already have. That being said; you will have to respec later when you can access better/ more efficient nodes. Jewel nodes are one of these. You can get 3 or 4 bonuses from 1 point. Hope this makes sense.

[sour shuttle]

There you go

[delicate aspen]

How many poison stacks are you able to apply?

[lethal python]

they die too fast :?

[delicate aspen]

Then I guess your problem is non existent

[sour shuttle]

You just need a solid weapon going through the campaign be effective. Most things will die quickly. That's the most important item that and getting skill gems socketed well.

And boots with as much move speed as you can, 25% is the max

[stone spindle]

does the arcane surge from "constant gale" ascension ability stack with the arcane surge you get from the "arcane surge'" support gem?

[last patio]

Can anyone explain why the total evasion rating listed at the bottom is the same for both of these helmets?

they both have 99% increased ER but 1 has 160 and the other has 133 base

[lethal python]

quality

[sour shuttle]

Quality affects stats

[fluid tide]

not enough spirit, would you guys rather choose wind dance, or ghost shroud

[sour shuttle]

Ghost shroud if you are ES based

Imo

[last patio]

I understand that but the evasion stat at the bottom totals 160 for both, despite one having 20% quality and 160 base ER while the other has 133, the one with 20% quality and higher evasion should show higher than the other, no?

160 + 99% increased = more than 133 + 99% increased

[sour shuttle]

Look at the item level

One is 24, one is 81

[last patio]

ew

[haughty crow]

Okay I got a question for sombody to help me out becuase I'm really confused I have a two handed mace that requires 142 strength but I have 407 strength and I can't equip it, I am lost

[sour shuttle]

Base stat is different

[last patio]

sigh ok

[fluid tide]

invoker protect me from harm setup

[last patio]

so basically this guy dumped a lot of currency into a shitty radiant grief

[fluid tide]

so i guess yeah, energy shield lol

[sour shuttle]

They synergy there is really good so I would spend money to get more spirit, easy to do depending on level

The

[warped moth]

142 x 3 is 426

[haughty crow]

thank i just reread that passive and i did not no it said tripled

[sour shuttle]

I talked to an endgame person, had over 7kes

It's insane survivability

% energy shield is no joke

[thin basin]

blue numbers you see at the bottom is "maximum with quality"

shows even on corrupted items where you cant even quality it anymore

[indigo stag]

Dont you just love when all clicks together. Killed last boss of cruel difficulty and it dropped helm that i instantly sold for 30ex 😄

[thin basin]

whites = already max with quality

for base stuff i dont think they have that in the poe2 trade rn?

[last patio]

good to know ty. I guess I shouldn't have bought that 20 quality one then ^^'. Prob not worth 5 exalts

I could easily just buy a bunch of quality items off market for augmentation orbs and get a better 1 to +20

trying to figure out the best possible twink gear for ranger

[thin basin]

you can also click on it to sort by es/armor/eva

[lethal python]

@last patio i used this website

https://vulkk.com/2024/12/19/path-of-exile-2-best-uniques-for-leveling/

[sour shuttle]

Gloves that give +25% attack speed while at full mana (90%+)

Really good

[tropic cove]

does grim feast work with eldrich battery?

I'm doing mind over matter + eldrich battery and i keep dying with 75% on all reses

[sour shuttle]

How's ur hp

[tropic cove]

1400

[thin basin]

it should work if you still have any energyshield left

[sour shuttle]

What level maps

[tropic cove]

14-15t

not juiced

[sour shuttle]

You need the talent that makes all damage go to ES, reduces life to 1

And takes from mana before energy shield/lofe

Life

[last patio]

thanks a lot, checking it out now

[sour shuttle]

Dump all your ho gear

Hp*

[tropic cove]

im running infernalist, I need more hp for more spirit

[sour shuttle]

Maybe more Regen/leech

So ur hp stays high

[last patio]

surprised it's not listing widowhail. I was under the assumption it was the best leveling bow. Wish there was a universally best leveling weapon/build for all classes

[halcyon solar]

How can i even find those Citadels? I have been chasing them for so long, that by now i can easily run T15 with no biggy. Feels a bit lame that i can't progress with the "questline" at all.

[thin basin]

stack es like everybody else

[tropic cove]

I could buy more hp gear but I'm broke

[tidal copper]

Willow is definitely very strong
And pretty fool proof

[thin basin]

240 widow can carry you to map, but youll need to upgrade quiver every 10 or so levels

[tropic cove]

took the es node in the tree that grants 60% more es and my mana barely moved, don't think it works or something

[thin basin]

did it on my infernalist

[last patio]

I'd assume that's a lot better than having to upgrade both bow AND quiver

[thin basin]

you want a bunch of flat on it

[silent token]

hi guys

[thin basin]

i level with gas arrow

[last patio]

do you think this is the go to on every class for campaign?

[thin basin]

spent like 2 ex every 10 levels for quiver

[silent token]

i am in ac2 and my electric monk start getting squishy . How to sole that ?

[last patio]

i've also heard good things about mist whisper crossbow for campaign

[thin basin]

why not if they have access to fire/proj/aoe? damage nodes

[twin tide]

if i use this gem on my charged staff then does it also apply to my ice strike while the charge staff is active?

[indigo stag]

which one is better for lightning/frost quarterstaffs. One with full focus on physical or one with elemental dmg?

[thin basin]

any gems on charged staff will only affect either the buff or the projectile part

[pine lily]

Does anyone know how Deadeyes "Thrilling Chase" ascendancy point works with Resonance? So my frenzy charges have become power charges. If I use them, does Thrilling Chase trigger? I would guess not?

[twin tide]

so that gem is useless on charge staff

[thin basin]

itll make the projectile have 30% cold pen if theres even any cold damge on it

[amber lantern]

Can someone help me understand why the level 62 weapon is out damaging the level 77 on my call of the brotherhood build. I've tried to upgrade this thing like 3 times and everything comes out less dmg lol

[thin basin]

left look like it just have a lot more flat

and 60% ele

[amber lantern]

not sure exactly how the elements are interacting with my skills due to the lightning to ice conversion

ive tried getting a weapon with pure lightning and it also couldnt keep up

[twin tide]

if i use the gem that gives 25% more atk speed on charge staff then does that atk speed also get given to my ice strikes while charge staff is active?

[daring nova]

What's everyone's favorite build?

[coral dagger]

lightning monk bell bing bong

however i got so powerful that i dont even have time to use my bell before everything dies so i am a little confused now

[indigo stag]

i know how to fix that. gimme dem gloves 😄

[ancient spear]

Does anyone know if the mercs bombs count as projectile damage?

[shell arch]

Im leveling a spark archmage right now, i got a divine, what should be the first upgrade i should buy?

[frail swan]

What's the benefits of blood mage for witch?

[tidal copper]

Exalts a lot of exalts
Then start with the weapon
Connor PoE in YouTube has a trading guide

[sour shuttle]

Gonna be hard to replace 220 top end lightning damage

Kinda like my bow's base damage is gonna be hard to replace

Gained 3400 dps

[snow ridge]

Solar Orb auto-ignites enemies in the center. Does the support that gives 100% increased ignite duration but 25% less ignite chance work with this effect? Or is it only ignites from hits.

[vivid dome]

hey all. if you go Chayula monk and ur spirit goes away, can you not use spirit gems??

[austere carbon]

Hey mates is this worth 1 div?

[rocky pilot]

does anyone know how to get Comet to fire 3 comets in one cast? spell cascade makes it shoot 3 but in a wide AoE, and spell echo is only 2. but i've seen videos of people getting 3 in one cast

[torpid cairn]

Anyone know a place for builds other then maxroll? Dont have enough money to make the HOWA build for gemling but dont wanna do grenade spam

[neat bison]

Is unleash compatible? Could be that

[rocky pilot]

you're right! its unleash

thanks. turns out i didn't even have to worry about it lol. 624 mana cost with unleash sheesh

[neat bison]

just a teeny bit of mana

[sour pendant]

What's a broken early + late game build

And for leveling

[indigo stag]

merc pillar of god whatever

you use the same weapon from lvl1 to end game

[tidal copper]

I have seen end game show cases with level 13 comets
Which makes me question the necessity of +gems

[still rock]

because the games balance is all over the place rn

the +gems are necessary in a lot of builds to even come close to competing

and then you have things like poison concoction shenanigans that are just scaling insane with levels without the scale of mana cost at all

[tiny brook]

has anyone run palsteron's explosive shot deadeye? seems pretty chill to try to incorporate some MF into, is it?

[still rock]

you can incorporate MF in any build

[tiny brook]

I meant to ask if it was affix hungry or not

just on the off chance

[ivory roost]

Is there a warrior build guide for your first trials?

[still rock]

ah, i mean technically everything that runs a decent amt of rares and isnt CI should be fine

[tiny brook]

sounds good

actually would it be cheaper to set up a spark character for MF or some deadeye?

ive got like 6-7 div to reroll with

[still rock]

Not sure I can only attest to the builds I've played in terms of price but spark mana stacking seems like its getting pricey

and deadeye your biggest sink is the bow obviously

[tiny brook]

good call, and yeah dream fragments being like 100div is nuts lol

i really enjoyed archmage in poe1 but it was never turbo expensive

probably my favorite build aside from toxic rain every league, back before they nerfed it the first time at least

[still rock]

mana stacking is the best way to scale every spell in the game rn afaik so the demand is very high

[tiny brook]

cloak of defiance my beloved

yeah it also seems very cohesive rn

a lot of gear and passive tree nodes support it very well

thoughts on reaching for CI as deadeye?

ive only played bloodmage in poe2 and was very hybrid life/es with atziri's disdain to cover and es felt so nice to scale

life feels pretty dead

that's a good point

i guess if I'm making an mf character I don't care to hyper scale defense

[still rock]

oh wait nvm its a suffix lol

i still think es/eva is better

[tiny brook]

what's a suffix?

[still rock]

ghost dance seems great

[tiny brook]

rarity is both actually

[still rock]

ah yeah weird youre right

prefix on helm

suffix in boots and gloves

[tiny brook]

oh i thought all items could roll both actually

i know some items can and it combines to 1 line

[lone wave]

Is any particular build the least gear/currency depdendent, making it the de facto choice for the character to earn funding for others on

[still rock]

rare = 3 prefix mods and 3 suffix mods

[spare quartz]

Increased evasion rating on a amulet works for total evasion correct? Or any item for that matter

[still rock]

only amulet is global

the ones on gloves body armor boots helm are local

[tiny brook]

nah I meant what affix you were calling a suffix

[still rock]

rarity

helm is prefix and glove boots are suffix

[tiny brook]

ye as long as it's %

[still rock]

i really wish theyd add a tooltip in game to explain local mods

ive been saying this forever lol its confusing for new players

[tiny brook]

yeah agreed

[dry aurora]

guys which one should i use for explosive shot deadeye

[silver warren]

https://poe2db.tw/us/Skeletal_Arsonist

does anyone understand how much damage a level increase to this skill does? I don’t understand the 100%, 100%, 100% column works or how the last column “can target minions with x life or less” works

[still rock]

look at the damage values of each

shouldnt even be a question

[silver warren]

look at it before you type.

[tiny brook]

they're not responding to you

[silver warren]

If it makes sense to you, then I’ll be surprised

[dry aurora]

ok mb ig

[still rock]

i wasnt answering you

[tiny brook]

I believe base damage might refer to scaling based on your weapon?

melee skills probably have non 100% values

yeah

firebolt:
https://i.imgur.com/pEYZs6O.png

bone shatter

[indigo stag]

"can target minions on X life or less" = arsonist can explode a minion thats below X life

its the active skill for them

[silver warren]

Is that the active?

Ok thank you

[silver warren]

Ok mb

[lone wave]

Hey do you have any grapes

[silver warren]

Why are there 3 values for each, and why do they remain 100%. The arsonist gets stronger with leveling, right?

I don’t understand that part

I’m trying to determine the damage increase with levels to compare spirit gain vs minion level

[cyan plover]

is this any good at level 57?

[lone wave]

duck just waddled away without answering

[silver warren]

Got any glue?

[still rock]

no

[cyan plover]

is this better?

[still rock]

not really

but better

[cyan plover]

goddamn

okay

[still rock]

unless you have an explicit purpose to use flat ele damage on weapon just scale phys #

[twin gull]

for most weapons you want a % phys increase

[cyan plover]

how can I reroll a weapon?

is it impossible?

[still rock]

cant

[twin gull]

chaos orbs

[still rock]

chaos ig but thats not what you want to do here lol

[twin gull]

until you get an expert base dont waste resources rerolling

[thin basin]

hit up trade if you got like 3 ex can probably get 3x better bows

[twin gull]

you can get better for 1 ex even

[cyan plover]

is this still shit?

[cyan plover]

alright

[still rock]

example bow I bought for 10ex with open suffixes and slammed

[cyan plover]

whats your level rn?

[thin basin]

quality

[still rock]

81 on that toon

[cyan plover]

and its still useable?

[still rock]

i did it right after chill out 😹

[cyan plover]

damn okay

i dont have any ex

how do I get them

or is it just rng

[thin basin]

u buy a decent weap when hitting map and itll probably last you until t10 or whatever

[silver warren]

Why are there 3 base damage values?

[cunning panther]

how much increased rarity do I need for it to be worth ?

[still rock]

I've heard around 100 but im expecting it to get nerfed eventually

[runic rose]

Does flask effect do anything for poison concoction?

[still rock]

Dont think so

[tiny brook]

Not sure if I'm being honest

[silver warren]

Why are there 3 base damage values, and why do they remain 100% if the arsonists get stronger every level? What is that 100% based on?

[indigo stag]

does my combat frenzy have +100% chance for extra charge now?

[tiny brook]

the 100% is based on weapon damage im 90% sure

[indigo stag]

😄

[thin basin]

chances are its base - max level - second effect

[tiny brook]

and your minions won't scale off your weapon

[silver warren]

So they have some kind of base spell damage that scales but we don’t know what that is? Does that sound right?

[tiny brook]

the damage should be visible outright

on the gem when you hover it no?

[silver warren]

Sorry I’m at work

[tiny brook]

no you're fine, spells say like

[silver warren]

On break just looking stuff up

[tiny brook]

deal x to x damage

[silver warren]

Wonder if +2 levels to minion spells is okay to replace 53 spirit

I have 2 amulets. One with spirit and one with levels

[tiny brook]

minion builds tend to prefer having more minions up to a certain point

[silver warren]

Wish I could glue them together

[tiny brook]

yeah for real lol

[silver warren]

The question is: will my extra minions deal more damage than all my existing minions that could be buffed by +2 levels

[tiny brook]

think that's decently easy to math out no?

[silver warren]

Also considering changing my 50 spirit shield to a timbre for +2 levels

[warm egret]

Is flat cold damage better than cold damage % on ring?

[tiny brook]

base damage is the initial multiplier, so you can compare how much damage +2 levels give by comparing the 2 base values you have

[silver warren]

I think I could calculate that easily later

[tiny brook]

so just do base damage * count for both and see what's higher

[spare quartz]

I added the shield charge / blink tech to my build, went to test it, worked good the first time but Blink won't come off cooldown

[manic quest]

Why arent stats being picked up?

[spare quartz]

I'm on the right weapon set but for some reason can't blink after the first one

[analog finch]

guys is this good in orb of storm ?? with spark build and flame wall

it make less dps by 50%

[spare quartz]

Ok i figured out what's wrong. You can't divide up spirit skills between weapon sets, you only have 1 pool

[swift cove]

anyone know if we can currently shard of chance this neck?

[cyan plover]

is this worth 2 ex?

[obtuse shale]

What would be the best way to scale radiant grief unique?

[static plinth]

Like, the ignite damage?

Thats worthless, its only a catalyst for other things such as Firestorm, Cast on Ignite, or Gas Arrow

[thin basin]

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Standard/V6Ry9MgSp
sort by dps and/or add whatever you need

[vivid ferry]

Any idea on what to run as a supplementary dps skill with HoTG and Stampede?
I'm running Alk's bleed build. Not sure if I should go perfect strike, or tremors with sunder, earthshatter or earth quake.
https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/alkaizer-stampede-hotg

[river berry]

what would give me more damage in sockets? im so lost without pob to plan my build LOL
i would use tri ele flat damage quiver... so:
3x flat damage rune OR 3x soul core with inc elemental damage with attacks?

[lyric cape]

would it be a good idea to path here for STR using Giant's Blood?

[steady ermine]

Anyone know how the deadly force node works?

It says 30% increased damage if you've delt a critical hit... is it for 1 attack, or for how long?

[obtuse shale]

Damn even if converted to chaos dmg?

[wet mango]

• figure out how much total flat ele you have, and what % of that total your flat ele runes would be
• figure out how much incr dmg you have, then what % of that total your incr dmg runes would be
  take the larger number

[thin basin]

level 10 firewall does more damage than that

[wet mango]

is there not a time on it?

[waxen panther]

does anyone know if we can use 2 Against the Darkness
Time-Lost Diamonds??? i really need some with spirit that dont cost like 40 divine lol

[static plinth]

Yes. Its a miniscule ignite

[river berry]

well i would have total 400% at least inc of bonus from quivers so i would have really high flat damage from it

[steady ermine]

Doesn't look like it. I'm trying to figure out if it's a temp buff, and how it plays out in the damage calculation. ie: is it additive 30% weapon damage during initial calculation, or is multiplicative at the end, since how good it would be would be vastly different

[wet mango]

does your skill not look like my screenshot?

my screenshot has a duration

it says 8seconds

2nd question: it's just "incr dmg"

the same as every other incr dmg

[steady ermine]

30% damage if you've dealt a critical hit in the past 8 seconds... that's not a duration for how long it lasts

[wet mango]

yes it is

after you crit....

for 8 seconds after that, you satisfy "i have dealt a crit in the past 8 seconds"

[steady ermine]

so duration is inifnite as long as you crit every 8 seconds?

[wet mango]

what

[thin basin]

yes

[wet mango]

30% incr dmg. you keep leaving out the most important word lol

+/incr/more are all different

[cedar river]

I got 19% armour and 86% evasion with buffs. I wonder if the 19% armour could just as well be 0% and there wouldnt be a real difference?

[wet mango]

and I assume like another 3-600% from tree

so, probably flat ele? but again, you can just do those calculations I listed

and compare

instead of guessing

[last patio]

what's the best possible stuff to put in these sockets?

for campaign leveling

[river berry]

yea im thinking now about this also 😄

[cedar river]

How much evasion should you have before considering Acrobatics? My buffed evasion fell down to 63% after taking it, not sure if thats worth it?

[exotic hare]

can somebody tell me where the skill "cast on shock" is? im searching it ingame with the skill gems but it doesnt show anywhere. why is that?

[thin basin]

its a spirit gem

[indigo stag]

under sorceress

[native pike]

hey guys.. i've played monk and witch. now trying to level my sorc now. but my dps sucks. can someone help me build the sorc or suggest me good build. i'm lvl 35 and at dreadnought and my spark dps is 160.

[pine lily]

How do you scale skills like Bonestorm that are physical spell damage? is it only "spell damage" on the passive tree? Does anyone do anything to like make the skill elemental somehow so you can scale it that way. I think my brain is having a hard time with a physical skill, that is a spell.

[indigo stag]

its a spell

that yeets stuff that hits target physically

whats there to understand?

Literally conjuring pieces of bone that you yeet at enemies

[thin basin]

theres some "physical damage" on top side

also crit

[wet mango]

it's a spirit gem

[tidal copper]

Take avatar of fire

[wet mango]

spell damage, damage, phys damage, hit dmg

just read the node and see if it applies to your spell

[simple meadow]

need my 1st sorceress build do i go with fireball + frostwall or spark?

[thin basin]

projectile, physical, spell, crit, hit, i dont think aoe works for the initial hit

[tidal copper]

You are cursed to be free

[simple meadow]

huh wym

[tidal copper]

I mean you can do whichever

[simple meadow]

ye frostwall looks fun

i think archmage makes anything busted

[frigid current]

does attrition works on minions?

[vivid scaffold]

is it possible to have a different herald active on each weapon set? that just seamlessly instantly swaps form herald of thunder on a lightning set on lightning skill use to herald of ice on an ice set w/ ice skill use? or is it like unpractical even if it technically works

[dense bramble]

can you get rarity on body?

[serene lotus]

I dont understand the strat for juicing up maps making them hard when if you die it just ruins the node.

[elder mural]

What is the priority if you take mom, ci + eldritch battery ?

U can still have ES + mana

[tidal copper]

Can you screen the text? I could try to guess

[cursive maple]

What relics should I buy for my 3rd ascendancy?

[muted flare]

does this work or no?

[tidal copper]

Modifiers that don't include your allies don't work with minions
I'll bet against this
You could use banner that sounds funny

[tranquil steeple]

Does increased damage when x is satisfied work for skills where x is consumed if it doesnt state that it wont?

Like the nodes that increase damage against enemies with broken armour

if I use high velo to consume that

is the damage increased.

[remote narwhal]

Question

Does extra chaos dmg work on spells or is that specifically to weapons

Like mings ring for a reference

[fiery briar]

are mana "recovery" and "regen" multiplicative?

[grizzled peak]

It says resonating shield blocks as well. So could i just replace raise shield skill and perma resonate instead ?

[remote narwhal]

Mana costs

It drains a shit ton of mana

But

[grizzled peak]

Im trying out some mix of warrior necromancer build. Trying to see if i can spam rangers while i go in and tank the aggro myself. So the mana cost is none existent for me

[remote narwhal]

Get shatter, armor explo and put on magma barrier with exploit weakness you can get around it

Yea I don't like the necro part

You could manage a thorns, armor break build

[grizzled peak]

OOOH i could look into armor break skills instead thats smart

[remote narwhal]

Resonating Shield is a armor break

[grizzled peak]

im a witch right now and wanted 1 max 2 warrior skills to help support my summons.

[remote narwhal]

Ah ok

[grizzled peak]

it says it lowers their armor but i wasnt sure if that was the same as some skills that say Armor break exactly

[remote narwhal]

Now that's a different story

[grizzled peak]

wasnt sure if it was just a weaken armor vs armor break full removal

[remote narwhal]

Don't just stick out witch

Witch ends up pretty broken late game

[grizzled peak]

yea when it gets late game and i can get like 400-500 spirit like i see some people have i might go back to full range. but im tap dancing with 130 spirit right now lol

[remote narwhal]

Warrior has the HP to survive stun

You still get stunned with resonating

And that's fatal for a witch

Now a full str stacking warrior is another story

[brazen verge]

Guys, does this affect only the colored damage displayed on weapon or also the skill elemental damage converted from physical?

i cant find any specific info about this

[tranquil steeple]

its all that skills elemental damage

the weapon is irrelevant, the weapon is passed through the skill, damage is converted and then increased by any multipliers

[fiery briar]

eldrich batterh converts before %increases right?

[tranquil steeple]

if the weapon has cold damage on it that cold damage would increase too

[tranquil steeple]

yea all conversions are the base value with no increases

[eternal grotto]

Does the ancestral totem that links to mace skills scale with its own gem level based damage, or your base weapon?

[tranquil steeple]

You can also look at a skills dps in the skill menu and it should tell you when you add/remove it

[stuck monolith]

question - are on-death effects (e.g. witchhunter's 10% chance to explode mobs on kill) affected by the lucky stat in this case?

[brazen verge]

right, now i'm feeling bad about asking, thanks!

[tranquil steeple]

dont feel bad lol its not even always clear based off the dps

[brazen verge]

thats whyI asked mI was sure it didnt show but I must have mistaken this with another one. funny thing I also don't understand is when I checked, after picking a 12% projectile dmg increase passive I only noticed like 1.17% actual dps increase in my skill but I would have to check again if anything changed

i'm pretty sure it changed from 280 to 285 so yeah. 🤷‍♂️

[muted flare]

can you do this to get 5 slots or is this a waste?

[thin basin]

every gem is separate you cant combine them

[tranquil steeple]

waste

[muted flare]

ok ty no loopholes today :/

[tranquil steeple]

sadly 😭

5 slots hard to get

[muted flare]

I saw someone recommend it and I was like 😕

[tidal copper]

You can put 3 bells if you want though

[dense bramble]

any sparkmages know why my ES is so low? im at 3.4k/3.6k es/mana with CI/MOM/EB, should i just be prioritizing gear with high max ES/mana? how do i scale ES the hardest?

[tranquil steeple]

yea but its a bit different

bells is just the best skill in the game though

[heady parrot]

Hey gang! Does anyone know how Apex of the Moment would interact with Temporal Chains

at level 16 it's a 27% slow on temp chains, so would that be 47% total slow or is there other math I'm not considering

[hot stirrup]

How are monks using the 1 hp with massive energy shield

[wet mango]

btw I wrote a short guide on +/Incr/More, feedback welcome (here in this channel, just reply to this msg)
https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1321237459987726366

[pine lily]

Does Heart of the storm Sorc ascendancy node (ele damage taken recouped as energy shield) restore your mana if you have taken eldritch battery?

[tidal copper]

Ghost writhe is bug apparently and it will increase your ES with CI

[hot stirrup]

@tidal copper is that in passives

Oh it's a unique thank you

[frosty arrow]

let's say I use iron reflexes. How does it interact with nodes that add %armor and evasion. If I have a purely evasion piece of armor, will it first boost evasion of it and then boost armor value it converts too as well?

or it doesn't work like that

[wet mango]

if you read the tooltip for conversion, modifiers apply after conversion.

Base evasion values > convert to armour > armour modifiers

(evasion modifiers will no longer apply)

[frosty arrow]

ah, so I'm not getting double the value from those nodes

sounded too good to be true anyway

so it just converts base value of items, then applies armor modifiers

[rapid pond]

I'm so confused. I look up poe2 building for a lightning merc but they are all using skills that are for the bow.

[snow ridge]

does the "10% more damage for each remaining chan" on Arc multiply with itself? Like if theres 2 reimaining chains is that 22% more damage total or 20%.

[wet mango]

yes

[thin basin]

any class can use any weapon and any skill

[wet mango]

20%

[snow ridge]

kk ty

[rapid pond]

Is it part of the skill tree cause it doesn't let me use the skill when using the crossbow

[wet mango]

"x% more per each blah" counts as a single More multiplier, whose value is determined by multiplication

[wet mango]

skills are tied to weapons. Neither are tied to classes

[thin basin]

some skill require correct weapon

[snow moat]

which supports do you guys run on charged staff for your ice strike monk? whats optimal? with 3 sockets

[nimble kite]

is there a way i can check what skills are available without having a gem?

[wet mango]

poe2db. no way in game yet, which is annoying

[fiery briar]

does triggering a skill use its mana cost?

[mortal gate]

Guys, what do you think are very good jewels for warrior?

[atomic halo]

no. "lucky" here refers only to the hit's roll range (i.e. 1-100).

[glad bone]

Yep

[glad bone]

Poe2wiki

[atomic halo]

lol i dont think poe2wiki has all of them yet

[glad bone]

Getting there

[fiery briar]

is cast while channeling in the game?

or cast on stun?

[sacred sail]

I don't understand, I'm playing concoction

[glad bone]

Closest you'll get is cast on dodge, or maybe you can try and rig something with arctic armor freezes (not good). There is a support to begin ES recharge if stunned while casting

[fiery briar]

though we cant use that on spirit gems?

right?

also if I take chaos innoculation, will I just get stunned nonstop?

[glad bone]

Right because you need to be actively casting the skill, i dont personally know how the CI stun works

[fiery briar]

isnt stun threshhold based on life?

[delicate flower]

does anybody know what the color coding on the passive nodes in mobalytics mean?

[glad bone]

Think so

[fiery briar]

weapon set I believe

[trail rampart]

guys anyone know how culling strike works with overkill ?

[wet mango]

if you cull you have 0 overkill

(I believe)

[trail rampart]

i need confirmation 😦

your answer seems to be the most logical though, thats what im working with

[glad bone]

You'll have to test, but i believe the damage code is bypassed if a cull triggers since it won't matter what the damage "would've been"

[trail rampart]

im trying to make herald of ash work with witch hunter (gas grenade) explosion build

maybe culling strike is not the best then

[sweet cedar]

how would you make this passive work?

[atomic halo]

find a melee weapon that gives benefits to spells

[tidal copper]

I think the fun part is finding out

[ashen pond]

any1 know whether corpswade boots have been nerfed or not? im thinking of making abuild on it

[atomic halo]

like + level to # skill gems

or all sorts of possible unique stuff

[glad bone]

It's for hybrid setups

Iirc none of the weapns that give caster stuff count as melee

[honest ingot]

Is 160% item rarity for solo build good?

[sweet cedar]

sounds way too gimmicky to have any use as of rn

[static plinth]

Frost Wall monk

[sweet cedar]

oh

[tidal copper]

Melee ≠ martial weapon
I'll bet sceptres work but don't @ me

[static plinth]

Thats the first thing that comes to mind, at least

There's a ton of possibilities

[static plinth]

Sceptres aren't melee

[sweet cedar]

yea

[glad bone]

Dont think so they have no default melee attack skill on em

[static plinth]

They were in 1, where they were basically STR/INT maces

[sweet cedar]

I guess it will be more useful when flails or some other melee weapons come out

[glad bone]

The intention is probably trigger casting melee casters

[tidal copper]

Yeah it'll be staffs then?
I believe there are staffs without spells

[static plinth]

Quarterstaves =/= Staves

[glad bone]

Quarterstaves dont give spell explicits

[static plinth]

^

You want a one-hander and either a focus, wand, or sceptre

[thorny token]

those nodes are most likely meant for coc and shit

[sweet cedar]

since the current melee weapons dont seem that useful for it

[glad bone]

Yea it'd be for trigger setups

[thorny token]

but with how current triggers work they are just useless

[glad bone]

Yep

Mjolnir does exist though, not yet found

[tidal copper]

It's like that other key stone on the tree
The one handed no shield you get more damage
Although I wonder if that one could be used with giant's blood

[sweet cedar]

dance with death?

[trail rampart]

Arent most "monk" skills spells ?

[sweet cedar]

25% more skill speed

[static plinth]

None of them are

Actually Tempest Bell might be?

[sweet cedar]

.

[thorny token]

nah tempest bell is also attack

[trail rampart]

i have not delved into monk skills so maiybe there is something.

[eternal grotto]

The trigger on crit spell in invoker is a spell

But not a lot is in monk

[trail rampart]

well have to wait for a spell you can cast with a mele weapon then, maybe when they release druid ?

[sweet cedar]

nah not rly, there is the charged staff thats spell

[thorny token]

well druid is on other side of the tree

so probs wasnt meant for druid

[trail rampart]

GG then

[eternal grotto]

I use most of the melee spell nodes on my coc monk they work

[sweet cedar]

I dont think there are any others for quarterstaff

[trail rampart]

you can always imprint on neck

[torn mango]

Does Unleash work on detonate dead?

[thorny token]

yes but it wont save you any corpses

and the next casts will have random target selected

[torn mango]

I’m using sacrifice

[thorny token]

so you probs dont want to use it

as it will eat your clerics

[fiery briar]

is it possible to use an ES build with the cast on lose es?

[trail rampart]

Whats that meta gem ?

[torn mango]

@thorny token How does Grim Feast work with Eldritch Battery and Everlasting Gaze Amulet?…Will you gain ES from Grim Feast due to ever lasting gaze unique or nothing because of eldritch battery?

[inland pelican]

how do you add quality to it? gemcutters prism doesnt seem to work

[sweet cedar]

I was thinking of making a wand build with the dance with death skill point, idk what class I should do it on with tho

[thorny token]

no clue but i would assume you gain nothing with EB

as there is nothing to double/overflow in first place when you are eating the shards

[cold spire]

Any pratical use?

[sweet cedar]

also winter orb as main skill

[white timber]

Does it mean i still can build shock?

[trail rampart]

can you add quality to innate spells ? im not sure

[thin basin]

wah looks good for a fire build

[sweet cedar]

seems like a pretty nice for like fireball build

[trail rampart]

sure looke like ti should but raises more questions than answers

[cold spire]

Any example of fireball? is for witch or sorceress?

[trail rampart]

like, what if you remove the points that alow you to use that skill via refunds

[torn mango]

Everlasting gaze is the only thing that counteracts EB and you get ES

[trail rampart]

yeah this looks crazy lol

+6 lvls

[sweet cedar]

hol on lemme check, u propably can make it work on either one tho

[inland pelican]

well it does specifiy in the description what you get from increased quality

[trail rampart]

click alt and hover to see tier of rolls

[cold spire]

I'm on xbox.. sigh

[thorny token]

yea but you have everlasting equipped, the shards are something you are just getting as a buff pretty much, so i doubt it will work

[trail rampart]

in any case thats a good staff, save it for a fire build with demon form for example

[cold spire]

Ty, I don't even know the differences between those classes. I'm fully blind and did a Warrior to begin

[mystic shard]

does block chance have a cap?

[cold spire]

Demon form-> witch? right? I saw a gameplay from mathil but It didn't looked like a fire build

[trail rampart]

yeah, its the same effect as the regular one, maybe its not meant to be able to take quality ?

[sweet cedar]

u would props want to go stormweaver with sorceress or infernalist on witch

[trail rampart]

Yep, there are a couple good builds with fire spells

[cold spire]

Best site to check? maxroll o mobalytics?

Or youtube..... lol

[thorny token]

75, can go to 90

[sweet cedar]

I just check most of the stuff im interested about on youtube

[weak knoll]

Is 70 ex for 1 divine a good ratio by any chance N?

[trail rampart]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KBiBpYTApk&ab_channel=Osterberg501 gere is a starter

[sweet cedar]

u can most likely get better info on maxroll or on mobalytics tho

[cold spire]

let me watch it

[trail rampart]

i would advice you just work it yourself

with that staff probably everything will work till T15

[cold spire]

This is what I did with my Warrior but they nerfed it two times lol

Now i'm on pure mace strike

And I melt maps super cheap,no need of 5L-6L

[austere crane]

planning on making a thorns warrior build, any good unique suggestions? toon is level 1 right now, i currently have chest,shield and belt thorns

[trail rampart]

Im on gas grenade merc since day 1. tried to get 4 characters to

hardcore endgame but died to white mobs lol

2 in cruel

[trail rampart]

rerroll

[thin basin]

any1 tried chrono with both life and mana recoup?

[opal island]

I have unique that adds crit chance with thorns I believe

[lavish palm]

Could someone dm me I got some gear questions about stormweaver if someone don’t mind

[fiery briar]

planning on doing the same, seems really tough to do properly

you HAVE to use scavenged plating basically

[trail rampart]

you cannot scale throns sadly

[mystic shard]

bah, why cant it just go to 100

[neat bison]

Yes ascendency skills quality can’t currently be improved

[jagged abyss]

I'm trying to make a high movement ball lightning, lightning warp, chronomancer. How do I get ball lightning to cast more balls so I can zip around?

[trail rampart]

me and my boys h8 act 2

infernalist ES is very tanky

[rugged creek]

will Iron Reflexes negate anything gained from Escape Strategy

[glad bone]

Probably not, most evasion scales before conversion. I am guessing though

[eternal grotto]

Multiple peojectiles support will add 2 prpjectiles. There are also passive nodes that can add projectiles.

[glad bone]

It's called scattershot now

[eternal grotto]

Ty for the clarification

[muted mortar]

Hello guys, is there a max magnitude of shock I can hit? I'm currently hitting 100% extra dmg when I shock an enemy, wondering if I can go over that or not

[keen crown]

any t10 build recommendation on sorceress ? i heard of a recent electro build ? went stormweaver for now i was on ice coldsnap build

t10 to t15

[sharp vortex]

No

[tame helm]

do you guys know if the spell levels would outweight the benefits of these spell power % increase?

I am playing on fire minion witch

[sharp vortex]

Yes

[sharp vortex]

U should be able to test tho

[tame helm]

dps is allegedly +5 higher using the Ashen Staff.

[glad bone]

Spell levels tend to be about 12% more multi each, your staff is probably better but uses both hands so worse

[tame helm]

true.. won't be able to equip shield

[sharp vortex]

Or focus

[glad bone]

You could put a sceptre, focus, or shield in your offhand. Sceptres can be real nice, spirit lets you use more auras (such as cast on ignite or summon raging spirits) (maybe not with wand haven't tested i just know you cant use two of the same weapon)

[sharp vortex]

... could u duel weld wands?

[glad bone]

Not in poe2

[sharp vortex]

Sad lol

[tame helm]

yeah raging spirits are one of my favorite skill

satisfying to haha

[glad bone]

Dont underestimate remnants either

[distant glade]

Is Pconc playable without widowhail? Ssf. Or should I run a gas arrow build til I drop one

[sharp vortex]

Shields are really goated tho

The def they give for a caster feels amazing

[gray crag]

do we know the rarity breakpoints in poe2?

or is there even one

[uncut bay]

how important is stun threshold?

how much of it do I need to stop stuns?

[frosty arrow]

for some reason impact shockwave does absolutely nothing on staggering palm

[spark silo]

Is there an actually good defense setup for late game merc or am I just fucked in red maps if I don't go ES?

[rugged kraken]

Shields are legit. I am worried they are going to tone them down and melee will cry

[glad bone]

We know there are lower diminishing returns than poe1 and that it's not multiplicative

[granite hatch]

should i use ghost dance or grim feast

[glad bone]

Max res, autoblock

[mystic shard]

about how much evasion do u need to dodge everything the best as possible at end game?

[hazy plank]

are the leech skills still broken

[turbid haven]

hi, i'm new at poe, is there a website that shows leaderboards based on DPS so we can check individual builds?

[spark silo]

I picked up some max res on jewels but are there better sources? And wdym by autoblock?

[glad bone]

Buffed

[glad bone]

Forget the source but there's something to block without raising shield

[spark silo]

ah ok

[hazy plank]

does mana leech only trigger from phys damage

[spark silo]

I think technically any damage type could leech but there are only "physical damage leeched as mana" mods

[crystal turret]

Anyone know if chrono or pathfinder is considered the better support?

[hazy plank]

any suggestions on how to fix my insane mana drain for monk lol

[crystal turret]

search for mana leech

there are some really good perks easily availble to you on normal builds

[frosty arrow]

chug them potions

[crystal turret]

and chug them potions! you underestiamte how many you generate

[frosty arrow]

I have really quick mana expenditure rate on merc too, I just drink those potions like it's pop

[crystal turret]

yah on merc you have no other choice haha

[frosty arrow]

it's basically in my rotation, especially for longer fights like bosses. Gas, oil, flash, two frags, explosive shot, flask, repeat

[crystal turret]

well, grenade merc*

lightning merc doesnt have the issue, they grab mana leach on rings

[mystic shard]

noticed a really

special talent

acrobatics, like the warbringer block thing

is there any othe special talents like that on the passive tree

im missing?

[static plinth]

Do you mean Keystones?

https://poe2db.tw/Keystone

[frosty arrow]

keystones? There's loads of them

they are usually extemely powerful, but with drawbacks. So you have to build around that

[mystic shard]

i just mean like really game changing things

[hazy plank]

the mana leech passives work on damage other than phys?

[static plinth]

Keystones

[frosty arrow]

yeah, all keystones are like that

[mystic shard]

but it was a keystone huh

there are otehrs i see that arent keystones

but thx

anything like this, but vice versa?

[sterile pebble]

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/profile/d2392db5-d4f4-42b4-b5c0-50eb48974c48/builds/ec45627b-219d-4af4-a89a-19d65737ceb3?clckid=303f5723 somoneplay this?

[gloomy pagoda]

What should be BIS for life flask options for Demon Form?

[muted mortar]

can the damage increase for shock go over 100%?

[mystic shard]

so is heartstopper for all damage or just dmg over time?

is that like the worst thing ever or?

[rocky pilot]

Hmm my build is actually hitting a hard wall now in gem levels where the mana cost is so insane its not sustainable to keep adding levels lol

[exotic hare]

going full lightning, which one should i finish first?

[rocky pilot]

kind of feels like a step back like PoE 1 where we had the same gem level problem. hopefully we see these get lowered a bit for spells but i dunno

[mystic shard]

does this maen it'll convert dmg into dmg over time a sec or is it just all dmg over time?

If so damn this feels like a suicidal one.

[wanton juniper]

Dots don't bother you as bad for a second. Then they bother you worse

[haughty dove]

Hell I need some help I and running Mind over matter and Eldritch Battery I have max res. My life is 1550 and sheild is 1316. I have a chest that give me 100 spirt that I like for more minions. I am a fire witch. Are these number good for t10 + maps. Thank you

[dry haven]

anyone got a list of uniques for attribute stacking?

[fleet prawn]

I need help

I swapped to Travis build I run better gear than he does and I do no damage

He does like 60k I’m not even doing 30k

[mystic shard]

**anyone at level 100, know hardest you can be hit with a singular attack with no resistances?

Be nice for a standard to help us out as you can't exactly test on hardcore.**

[wispy meadow]

whats a good gem setup for lightning arrow/rod for single target DPS? i have a good mapping setup but would like a good single target setup to switch to to do bosses, or if i wanted to do boss like content like breachstones or simulacrum

i also have magnetic salvo as well but havent used it much

[fringe ibex]

anyoen familair with stormwave? does projectile damage not apply to it?

long shot/projectile damage o the tree don't seem to affect tool tip dps

[mystic shard]

man, I wish most of the keystones didn't suck huge willy's

[frosty arrow]

they don't, they just have niche applications

maybe calling it a key stone wasn't the best choice, because people think it's something you need to take

but you don't, not every build needs them

[rocky pilot]

noone knows this yet but the hardest hitting mobs i've seen are the pinnacle bosses who've hit Captain lance at max res with 6,600 energy shield, for all his energy shield in one smack.

In terms of normal mobs, any mob with a crossbow hits extraordinarily hard.

And i think Arbiter of Ash has a flaming sword strike that just straight one taps you. dunno if any of this helps

[urban atlas]

odds hexblast witch is nerfed?

[rocky pilot]

zero. its an average build. but you shouldn't be playing the game hoping to do Nerf-hopscotch. just play what you want

[urban atlas]

this build is average???

[mystic shard]

how can none know really, there are levle 90-99 people on the HC ladder.

Some people in standard must know, are they realyl that bad they over and over so they cant level but HC can get to level 90+ and not die once?

[rocky pilot]

you're asking whats the hardest you can be hit with a single attack. why would anyone know this just by levelling up?
The only reason anyone gets that info is through datamining

and that stuff is not released currently

[mystic shard]

max res, so it was a magic attack?

What levle is this, Im afraid I dno who captain lance is.

so u literally cant ever feel strong in this game.....lame for an rpg.

does immaterial work when ur just max energy shield and not been hit?

[rocky pilot]

Don't think so, but you can grab it and test

[rocky pilot]

https://youtu.be/fcSsSHXg9OY?t=60 , was 5800 shield

noone can answer you whether anything is magic or whatever. noone knows cuz we can only go by sight

i think its physical personally

[vivid ferry]

does anyone have a good setup for tremor? either earthquake or earth shatter. I'm mainly looking to add something for Alk's Hammer/Stampede bleed build

[hasty nebula]

Does poison damage stack?

[mystic shard]

I see thank u vegeta =)

@rocky pilot was that guy hardcore?

[rocky harness]

Guys are monks the strongest class in the game rn?

[dull axle]

Why can’t I use the Cultist Greathammer as a Warrior?

[drowsy edge]

Trying out a CI infernalist with these 3 uniques. Only issue is its very low on spirit so I cannot go minion build. Any advice on doing actual damage. I'm basically unkillable with 10k+ ES and regen but my clearing and bossing is awful

[thin basin]

Chances are you dont have enough strength for it?

Why ci? Doesnt infernalist get bunch of spirit from life

[dull axle]

I have enough strength. I do have Giants Blood allowing two handed weapons to be in both slots. Would that stop it from being used?

[thin basin]

You need 156 strength to use that with giants blood

[haughty dove]

if some time try the The Everlasting Gaze
Azure Amulet

[thin basin]

Even if youre not trying to do 2h 2h i think

[haughty dove]

Best div i have spent thus far

[dull axle]

Thank you. I’m at 154 strength.

[tender raptor]

anyone have a good passive build for minions?

[haughty dove]

Been useing this one https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/bombarding-minions-infernalist-build-guide

[tender raptor]

thx

[haughty dove]

any time

[thin basin]

I recommend either dropping ci for the life-> spirit nodes (p sure it doesnt work with ci?) + +4sceptre + +2 helm for minion setup and drop shield/amulet and run grim feast i dont think you need any recovery with this setup its pretty popular right now

[drowsy edge]

i was running that build but my pc can't handle the mess of fire and everything. also i kept randomly getting 1 shot in higher tier maps

[thin basin]

Even with overflow es?

20k ish? 😭

[drowsy edge]

i was running MOM + battery before

[thin basin]

Did you have the gaze amulet for that setup

[drowsy edge]

no i'm poor. no divines

i've dropped 1 divine since starting early access

[thin basin]

Then you didnt do the setup properly

You either go mom eb with gaze for both mana and es or none at all and just es stack theres a few guides out there

Ziz ghazzy krip spicytuna pick ur poison theyre all mostly the same build (i think)

That infernalist link above is good if you wanna follow it

[hasty nebula]

What is the difference between having an enemy affected by +1 of my poisons vs increasing the magnitude?

[fleet prawn]

In trying out the Travis monk build but I can’t seem to get my damage as high as his I don’t get it I have better gear unless his jewels are like worth 10 div each idk what to do spent 40 div in the build and it sucks

[thin basin]

+1 mean enemy can now be affected by 2 of your poison, magnitudes increases the poison damage

[static plinth]

Does Blink have i-frames?

[lyric plank]

Im confused on how these weapon set passives are supposed to help me

[rugged kraken]

Does this reduce the attribute requirements for our two handed maces?

[glad bone]

Think so

[jagged thunder]

why are these two numbers different? i know about local and global mods. but not sure what's going on here

[dawn spire]

Bottom number shows what it would be with 20% quality

[feral maple]

Is there a general consensus for a leveling spark build? I am level 52 right now and havent been able to find a general consensus for a build for passives and gems etc

[dawn spire]

I'm not sure. I'd one set being used for a specific type of minion that benefits from those nodes?

[jagged thunder]

ohh

[lyric plank]

cuz right He has the weapon set 2 (green) for minion damage nodes, and weapon set 1 (pink) for curses, but if his minons are on weapon set 1 with curses then whys it like that

shouldnt it be reversed

[mystic shard]

about how much evasion (flat) is needed to avoid end game stuff, to get 90% (or 75%) whatever the cap is, ?

[lyric plank]

it changes

the higher you go in acts the more evasion is needed

[static plinth]

95% is the cap

In 1 you needed like 150k for 95% in endgame iirc

OR just like 27k for 90%

[mystic shard]

yeah I know, for thehighest.

[dusk egret]

Is skeletal sniper gas arrow explosion count as fire dmg?

[mystic shard]

27k!? wtf

[lyric plank]

in act 1 you can get max with like 200 evasion

[keen knot]

any1 know what my prio should be for most damage gain in lightning rod cast on shock dead eye? like a bow thats a couple of divines or a unique like hand of wisdom, idk how to determine which will give me most dmg, my bow rn is around 200 phys dps

[mystic shard]

hows that possible, how much can u even get on one piece of gear, the max I see is like 200-300 on gear in the POE trade market.

[static plinth]

Chest pieces can get like 3k

I think its lower though cuz people are hitting 90% chance to dodge with acrobatics

Or people are just evasionmaxxing idk

[mystic shard]

ok good to know

[thorny pasture]

So does Blueflame Bracers make fire spells build up freeze? or does it just do cold dmg

[still rock]

Fire spells would do cold damage which contributes to freeze buildup

[thorny pasture]

Okay thank you

[still rock]

your bow

[proper mauve]

does allies in your presence deal % more damage affect minions also?

[still rock]

quiver helps

but most of the damage is from the bow

[still rock]

Yes minions are allies

[proper mauve]

Thanks!

Is that a top 3 to have on sceptre?

[still rock]

Probably depends on the build specifically - I'm not a minion build player so I can't speak to the stat priority

But that one would be nice to have I imagine

[proper mauve]

All minion builds whats top 3 best to have on scepter? 🙂

[normal pumice]

Question on 'Psychic Fragmentation' node and cluster. In total the cluster gives a 32% chance of 2 extra projectiles. How would you calculate the damage increase if base projectiles are 3?
5/3×0.32?

[still rock]

+level of minion skills and +%spirit is probably top two if i had to guess

the rest are whatever fit your particular build best - probably flat damage for general attack minions

but some minions cast spells, some are scaled with life, etc

[jade sparrow]

Guys what is a good amulet anointment for deadeyes? Lightning arrow build

[proper mauve]

I got the arsonist

[dawn spire]

1+((2/3)x0.32)

Or about 2/9ths more damage, assuming all projectiles can hit the same target

(which most cannot)

[still rock]

What exactly is allowed to shotgun now?

Just xbow?

[dawn spire]

The ice shards from an innate skill on an arcane staff can shotgun

[rare ruin]

would this be much of a upgrade for me?

[still rock]

What's the wording they're using to indicate that? Hoping it's consistent

[dawn spire]

It's pretty clear in the description. I'm not at my pc now, but it's something like, "Projectiles fired by this skill can a hit a target multiple times"

[fleet owl]

new player here, how do i increase my poison damage?

[still rock]

Bueno, thanks

[fleet owl]

seems like i cant progress further

[still rock]

Yes

[still rock]

What is the source of poison

[fleet owl]

gas arrow pathfinder

[still rock]

Add more damage from your bow

[rare ruin]

ty

[quasi flint]

is caster monk a thing?

[agile dragon]

Question about the Stormweaver ascendancy: if I wanted to be a Fireball sorc, and I spec'd into Shaper of Storms, would my Fireball damage not ignite foes anymore, and just shock them? Or would it both ignite and shock?

[white timber]

Sure, why not, just recommend you preplan a bit, if you have strong feeling about your spell combo and its not on other side of tree

[quasi flint]

I assume he's better with cold/lightning spells

he's pretty close to sorc start

[white timber]

No, it will ignite aswell

[agile dragon]

Very interesting. I'm torn between going that route and being a shock/ignite Stormweaver, or going Chronomancer and just focusing on ignite with Fireball etc.

[white timber]

Stormweaver is a good way to not brick your build, it has alot of good skillpoints. Chronomancer is kinda for Roleplayers or if you have strong combo in mind that utilize that ascendancy

[still rock]

Weird one if anyone knows - if you use Legionstride boots and also Renly's Training, does it make your block chance 40% even without a shield equipped?

Probably not

Additionally - are there any other known forms of adding block chance without having a shield equipped?

[cunning night]

warrior is fun but a pain to level 1-2 acts

[still rock]

Probably easier to just level as bow

[rapid wadi]

should i stick with lightning to level? or should i switch to chaos? i seen a couple people playing chaos demon witch and it looks pretty decent. or is lightning just better?

[thorny pasture]

does Demon form remove all ur spirit?

[cunning night]

seriously died to some bs

[haughty wadi]

how to increased bleed and poison duration?

[cunning night]

this game is a pain in the ass to ssf hc

not worth it

[mystic shard]

im getting sick of it and the theorycrafting and numbers im hearing

seems I literally have to have the max of everything

and even then wont be a mega tank

[hearty dirge]

is it viable to build a chaos witch that uses this and just summons a bunch of warriors/reavers to increase chaos dmg? Im on a lv35 hardcore infernalist atm

[patent shell]

does that mean i dont need elemental resistance anymore or how can i understand it ?

[static plinth]

You want both ele res and armor

You, at minimum, wnat to have enough res to hit 0%, ideally you want a full 75%

Cuz then this chest basically evaporates the remaining 25%

Assuming enough armor

[thorny pasture]

How hard would it be to make an embers fusilliade build?

[novel zinc]

Did they patched the 5 link with vaal?

[azure holly]

best chest piece base for deadeye lightning ?

[tribal salmon]

is there a funny stormweaver build where the passive tree goes around the outer ring?

[crimson sky]

guys I have a question, im on cruel difficulty, am I correct in assuming that most defense in the game is just going to obe from have high hp and energy shield + focusing your armor and resistances to correlate to the enemies attack types instead of trying to full send in 1 defensive stat?

[patent shell]

so if i have caped ele res but zero armour i still get oneshoted from ele dmg ? and what do u mean with remaining 25% which 25% ?

[haughty dove]

From what have seen energy sheild is best for end game t10 plus

[dry haven]

what auras work with totems? seems like all of them are restricted to the caster

[unique pewter]

Would this be an upgrade for me? Is dualstring really necessary? Running lightning ranger

[old shuttle]

Right is probs an upgrade just purely on stats

[midnight bolt]

armor is trash in endgame

[drifting gazelle]

can ES recharge if you take Zealot's Oath and Eternal Youth?

[patent shell]

guys my idea was running this staff with 500 strg till i can afford hand of wisdom then i respec.
so i have 500 strg its 90- 180 phys dmg which is totally not that great but it says weapon dmg so if i add lightning damage runes to it those runes also get the 1000% ??

[shrewd cypress]

How effective is this for bossing?

[patent shell]

it was rly good for simulacrum or high tier maps cause being crit immune is rly strogn defence but in poe 2 marks dont last so long tbh

[shrewd cypress]

Effective if I can keep up the mark. with say hand of chayula. Good to know, thanks.

[patent shell]

idk if there are many crit mods in poe 2 in endgame cause i didnt reach it yet XD but in poe 1 it was rly rly good for simus and t17

[wispy iron]

Anyone know how exactly the % increase effect of small passives in radius works on Time-lost Jewels? I've got a 22% increase and it's not increasing my attributes that are +5

[cunning night]

I barely see anyone playing hc ssf and i see why now, not till they do some more updates

[serene lotus]

Are there any good ways to actually farm better gear? I am level 77 and still using level 60 gear and under. The gear progression in this game is fucking horrible

[atomic kettle]

how i can add gem slots in this skill?

[proper mauve]

What all slots can have spirit?

[static plinth]

Level up

Level 90 for max slots iirc

[sour pendant]

What's a strong build from start to finish?

[cunning night]

i got scammed i refought the same boss again after diing in hc and beat easily something was buigged like the damage done to me by the rutual boss bs

[cold cipher]

Travel attribute nodes are separated from small passive nodes. They are not the same from what I noticed.

[dry reef]

do command spells for minions use minion damage or your own?

i'm assuming minion but want to be sure

[wispy iron]

Ty for the info, currently discussing this very thing in Poe2-after-acts-help. I could have swore in a tooltip somewhere that nodes were categorized into 3 different: notable, keystone, small passive. Do you know any other mechanic that revolves around small passives?

[supple jay]

do all hits of tempest bell crit if the first hit crits? or is crit chance calculated for each hit

[cold cipher]

There are two jewels worth to consider: Controlled Metamorphosis
Diamond and From Nothing
Diamond. Those two can give you more power from passive points by reducing travel nodes.
There is also Titan ascendancy node that scales small passive nodes by +50%.

[wispy iron]

Does Titan ascendancy node scale small attribute passives nodes as well?

[cold cipher]

Command use minion and there is tooltip in game for that

[dry reef]

thanks

[wild talon]

Question: if I use heavy frost, damage penetrates cold resistance won’t make monsters have negative resistances will it?

[somber pendant]

Penetrate only brings it down to 0 if it can

[wild talon]

Okay gotcha

Tyvm

[cold cipher]

Travel attribute no. If there was for example time lost jewel that add to all small passive points +2 to strength - that strength would be +3 with ascendancy node.
There are 5 categories of points on tree. Travel nodes, small passive, jewel sockets, notable and keystone

[patent shell]

why that ?

[midnight bolt]

armor works good against small hits and barely does anything against big hits it is not % reduction like resists, so since all mobs slap hard in t15-18s it doesnt mitigate much

whats worse is that unlike poe 1 we cant even stack 40k armor not even talking about 100k+

[cold kayak]

should i buy a god tier bow or Hand of Wisdom gloves as lighning dead eye rn?

[leaden salmon]

What class is "best" or ideal for Aurobotting?

[patent shell]

isnt it just damage reduction like in poe 1 ?

[midnight bolt]

what i wrote is literally how armor works in poe1 and yes it works same here

[patent shell]

so if a monster hits me for 1k and i have 50% phys damage reduction i get 500 dmg

[midnight bolt]

this is how armor worked in poe1

[patent shell]

ah i understand now

and in poe 2 u cant get enough armour

to make it a thing

[midnight bolt]

either that or its bugged or mobs overtuned

untill we datamine exact armor formula nobody knows for sure

[patent shell]

so i go wind dancer and evasion then ?

[midnight bolt]

eh evasion def much better, armor is ok if you also get like 85%+ max ele res and block

[sterile stone]

tldr armour bad

[midnight bolt]

my char has 12k armor, 15% phys dmg reduction(not armor) 86% all res and i dont feel threatened much, unless im running 6 mod corrupted delirium juiced maps with crazy mods

[patent shell]

how do i know which one i can skip ? i do new char XDD

[midnight bolt]

skip everything that doesnt have + icon

[leaden salmon]

There are several guides explaining which gives what

[patent shell]

but some of them drop ele resistance stuff no ? like passive

[wet mango]

it works for all damage, unless it says "spells" or "attacks" or some other conditional.

[midnight bolt]

those alos have + icon on the corner

[sterile stone]

honestly i dont understant why armour can behave like resistances 75% cap then you get + max phys res

[midnight bolt]

^ good

[midnight bolt]

cause ggg

[leaden salmon]

Any got experience with running Aurabots in PoE2? What classes performs good as it?

Gremlin? Chrono?

Monk?=

[sterile stone]

instead of flat armour on gear, changed it to like 30% phys reduction or something, where its only possible to have phys res cap if you wear all str armour piece etc

i hope theyre cooking something

[wild berry]

anyone know if grenades count as attacks and this is worth getting?

[leaden salmon]

Yes

It does

I run it on my Witchhunter

[vernal ocean]

How possible is Hexblast Ignite?

[sage plaza]

is there a timer to this? like, asking for mercenary flash grenades. Can I use them as normal and will the 5th hit continue to have that increased stun? or would I need to use it more often to take advantage of it

[clever gazelle]

not that hard since not many people are playing it tbh

[thorny pasture]

completely new to POE/arpgs but i love the spell for some reason, so off to try and make a build out of itthen i guess

[clever gazelle]

i can send u through dm my full setup if u dont mind

[thorny pasture]

sure

[split mist]

Does +% increase damage of two handed weapon, like crossbow, increase grenade damage

[patent shell]

is ther any other way to get resonance without moving there =?

[wet mango]

anoints did not realize it was a keystone

[vernal ocean]

You can't annoint keystones.

[zenith pond]

Hey guys, I just got the game. Im coming over from diablo 4 and was wondering where to go to find builds

[lusty vector]

the same places you go, when you need to find a d4 build

[undone peak]

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/starter-builds

[clear sluice]

just a thought

[zenith pond]

gotcha. which class is the best?

[clear sluice]

all of them

[true viper]

Any just go with what you like to play like

[vapid basin]

Melee if you’re using a controller

[zenith pond]

im on pc. i primarily played barbarian over on d4 but im thinking of going monk. from my understanding, monk is a mix of melee and range right?

[vapid basin]

Although - mercenary does feel like playing a classic twin stick shooter from the 90s

[vapid basin]

Yes

[vale sage]

what's the better venom draught cruel bonus for CI stormweaver, slow potency reduct or +5 all attributes?

[vapid basin]

Try GPT web search with Reddit as context @vale sage

[supple jay]

How long does inevitable critical take to reach 100% increased crit chance?

Is it 4 seconds or is the 25% multiplicatively stacking up

[peak brook]

hello! can someone give me the link on rarity culler build setup pls?

[supple jay]

It can't be 4 seconds right cuz then the support gem that goes 40% crit chance +10 cool down or whatever would be just flat out worse

[wet mango]

it's 4s

[wet mango]

?? which one is that

[supple jay]

excise

40% more chance to crit

+8 cd

I still need to learn the wording of calculations in this game

[gleaming trout]

Can enemies be hit by both charged staff + the hit that triggers it?

[supple jay]

inevitable crit says "gain" crit chance

[wet mango]

https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1321237459987726366

[supple jay]

excise says "more"

[wet mango]

more is completely different from increased

[wet mango]

(gain is not the important part here, it's "increased")

[gleaming trout]

Also how does tempest flurry's triple hit work w/ the bell + charged staff?

[crude lake]

guys - trying to figure out a way to generate power charges at level 32 as a monk

I cannot equip this support gem

even though it says it supports those skills on the left

when i try to socket it in, it says i can't

does anyone knows why?

[supple jay]

you can socket profusion on hand of chayula + snipers mark

even though it says no

[crude lake]

tried equipping into hand of chayula and it does not let me

[supple jay]

have to already have snipers mark on there

[crude lake]

are there any other way to make my charged staff work?

at this level?

im ssf so i dont have access to sniper's mark yet

[wet mango]

it says it can't support those on the left (note the X)

[wet mango]

this doesn't give you any chance to generate charge

it only gives you a chance to generate a 2nd charge

[chrome maple]

how can i increase my dmg on spark stormweaver

[uncut bay]

hey there, I play it too. for me the secret was a body armour with 3 ele resists, also a rare belt with mana flask recovery and also resists. it let me use great focus and rings for more dps. 5th spark gem slot was huge because then my ele storm got it too. and I went a crit route, I grabbed crit nodes from the monk side of tree, crit hewels

[stiff surge]

What would I socket into a widowhail for a poin concoction build?

• x to x as phys damage?
• %Phys dmg?

[hearty crest]

which one do you think is better, the second one is lacking the + to minion skills but grants me another arsonist and the 3rd slot to skeletal warrior

[spare bone]

how the fuck did my dps went down when i changed my weapon so much? bought this staff, went from 58k dps to 40k

the one that i use now

my damage is 99% lightning

[wet mango]

the bottom one gives you 170% incr ele dmg, and +3 skills over the top one

in terms of base it's like 100-400 vs 150 - 560

[spare bone]

😐

[wet mango]

so roughly 40 % more

+3 skills is about 15% more, and 170% incr ele dmg (depending on your tree), could easily be 30 - 50% more

[spare bone]

so strange

one have 240 elemental dps, other one 500

[wet mango]

380 dps

[supple jay]

how does flicker strike work with momentum?
momentum says teleportation doesnt count, and flicker strike says it teleports

is it a real teleport or is that just flavor text for the skill

[wet mango]

doesn't your skill convert phys to lightning?

[vagrant imp]

that doesn't take into account the weapon ele damage or the skill levels, just the numbers on the staff.

[spare bone]

my whole damage converts to electro

80%
