[thorny token]

but with just double flat rings and belt is already super hard to beat pillar

with rare

[snow sierra]

wait what you mean with bonestorm ?

[proven rapids]

bonestorm is a bit clunky to play

[thorny token]

i mean that bonstorm gives you 1k flat at level 30

[snow sierra]

scale bonestorm with the staff ?

[proven rapids]

but it's stupidly broken

[thorny token]

and you can just slap bonestorm to widowhail or crossbow weapon swap

for either +8 or +7 to bonestorm

[thorny token]

i just mean using the debuff not bonestorm for damage

[snow sierra]

ahh

makes sense

[proven rapids]

yeah the debuff that give the next attack flat phy

[honest ingot]

question. im staking life regen per second on gear. Is annointing hale heart (15% life recovery rate) better than resilient soul (20% life regeneration rate and 5% dmg recouped as life) ? or not?

[thorny token]

well do you already have life regen rate or not

as life recovery rate is rare liferegen rate not so much

and they multiply with each other but if you dont alreayd have life regen rate then it will bebetter

[proven rapids]

life recovery act as a multiplier for all form of life gain i believe, so recoup, leech, regen etc. SO might be better

[tawdry echo]

any glacial bolters here?

I regret trashing glacial bolt, it is actually really good lol

[proven rapids]

btw deathbeam are you once again playing a poison build like poisonous concoction in poe2 ?

on pathfinder

[quiet nova]

Does this scepter modifier applies to allies skills, such as Charged Bolt?

[thorny token]

i was playing gas arrow, currently playing plasma blast deadeye with bonestorm tho

[proven rapids]

if your allie skill is an attack, yes

[thorny token]

i might repurpose my PF to snipe poison build tho

[quiet nova]

Is charged bolt an attack?

[thorny token]

but snipe is rly annoying to play

and i refuse to waste my helmet slot

[proven rapids]

pconc is super strong

[thorny token]

to make it playabe

pconc is ok

it gets outscaled

[proven rapids]

really ? I've seen ruetoo destroying bosses in second with it

[thorny token]

i mean yea obviously it does

[topaz talon]

Is there some kind of aura bot guide around already? I know it is very manageable to have 450 magic find and run gravebind. But how can you provide more than that?

[thorny token]

gg bow beats it easily on something like gas arrow

or any poison skill with bonestorm really

just beats it

[honest ingot]

i do on all gears possible. so hale heart would be better as you said

[thorny token]

gas arrow cant abyse bonestorm so its sadge

[fiery wave]

oh no pen is subtractive and not multiplicative. i have been gimping myself the whole time. at some point i ran 97% pen

[thorny token]

also flashbacks to ruetoos terrible poison builds in poe1 hopefully this time they are better :d

[fiery wave]

okay so the stacking makes more sense now

[proven rapids]

https://youtu.be/Det8LG6aBoc can look here maybe

[thorny token]

but its hard to fuck up current PF as the flask nodes are dogshit

[quiet nova]

Is Spark considered an attack?

[thorny token]

its a spell says on top

right under spark

[quiet nova]

ahhh, it's a spell not an attack

okay ty

[astral willow]

Pillar lets you do some disgusting things early on. Just cleared the act 1 boss in less than 5s per phase lol

[fiery briar]

Does guiding palm grant your actual numeric life regen to your allies?

[thorny token]

yea theres a reason why pillar is only weapon phys damage in poe1 :d

and also weaker

[proven rapids]

uh, you wasted a lot of dps putting all 3 elements here

[astral willow]

ah well

not like exalts are that hard to come by

[calm vessel]

Is this good for a fireball build?

[thorny token]

yea its good

[primal tide]

Hello! Is there a Monk storm flicker guide for beginners online? 😦

I am following the one on maxroll but it's not for endgame

[crystal storm]

How does igniting clouds from minion gas arrows work, do i support minion with ignite stuff or flame wall?

[fiery wave]

anyone konw if momentum triggers on ice comet?

[thorny token]

well you needto move 2m while casting it

you can easily test if the comet movement is enoigh there is very clear visual effect

when momentum activates

[zenith hornet]

Are the sorceress' and witch's starting nodes different?

[fiery wave]

oh

i only stared at the dps number

thanks for tip

[astral willow]

only on the left side at start, where witch gets spell and minion damage, sorc gets ust spell damage

[fiery briar]

Does guiding palm grant your actual numeric life regen to your allies?

[hard vine]

doesn't comet keep you in place?

[fiery wave]

comet moves you backwards while casting

but its apparently not 2m or doesnt count

[finite glen]

anyone running widowhail spark build able to help me out? level 72 but can't even do a t8 map, not sure why my damage output is so low

[fiery briar]

does %increased damage to allies stack multiplicitivily with their skill tree %increased?

[zenith hornet]

Interesting. So I will assume that the new classes may also have adjusted starter trees too.

[fiery wave]

well this is sick

ive been calculating for some hours xD

i think i can run flameblast + ice comet as i originally intended

and use ice comet for bosses

because curse + quality and 50% exposure pens complete res dont need any pen points

[rare mulch]

Guys, if I'm using Frostbreath, would my Shield Charge ability benefit from the Life Drain support skill? Shield Charge applies Freeze buildup, but I don't know if it benefits from the Cull effect from Frostbreath. Also, Frostbreath is my only source of cold damage and Freeze buildup.

[marsh river]

guys think glancing blows is worth to take?

[thorny token]

its pretty good imo

[marsh river]

i figured its better if your block chance is on the low side for soem reason

if you already have it high, maybe it isnt worth it

also probably helps against getting wizkilled? aka regular block is no damage against small hits that dont matter, glancing blows is half damage on hits that would kill you

[burnt rune]

Ball lightning is sooo much better at triggering lightning rod its not even funny

burns bosses in seconds

[placid lark]

on a blood mage with spell echo on the lightning bolt, doesn't this just scale to infinity once you get crit chance to 100%?

[twin needle]

How do I get more spirit? I want to summon more skeletons

[burnt rune]

armor can have spirit

[placid lark]

can get it on chests, helmets, amulets and scepters. some uniques

[twin needle]

got it, thank you both

[thin basin]

Teres a cooldown on ligtning bolt

[primal tide]

For storm flicker monk, which ascendancy should I choose?

[placid lark]

ah, it lists a cast time not a cooldown so didn't know

[spare quartz]

I f'ed up and thought buying a QoF for my poison ranger as a weekend semi casual player was a good idea. I'm never giving up Acrobatics again even for move speed. It's too damn good

[crystal turret]

do you guys think PF Potion or Chrono is a better support?

[eternal vale]

Hey guys im wondering how this helmet works. If i want to build up freeze do i need cold pen or elec pen? and does it scale with freeze build up or shock build up

[ornate fossil]

Shock= Ice
Fire= Shock
Ice= Fire

Build around that affect, they just get swapped around

If you’re mainly shock you will get ice related damage for your build basically making herald of ice proc instead of herald of thunder

[left ledge]

ive been hearing that armour as a whole is really weak, with us being HC i know there are ways to have other layers of defence. I personally am stacking high block chance with some type of recovery on block (warcaller). What are other layers of def? Ive done evasion and its not bad but leads to 1 shots, ( invoker monk has always done well but dies before i can get the second ascendancy)

My other thought would PHYSICAL damage taken as and the only thing that comes to mind is infernalist with 20% taken as chaos then cloak of flames which is 40% taken as fire.

[queen mountain]

for a grenade merc, is Permafrost Bolts or Galvanic Shards better for clearing?

[left ledge]

depends- if youre doing gas grenade then explosive- of not glavanic if built right can be good

[fast temple]

is acrobatics worth taking?

or should it be paired with something

[eternal vale]

but im wondering about the scaling. i get that my shock is getting turned into cold. and the more elek dmg i got the more freeze i get. but there are items that increase the amout of freeze i build up and now i dont know if they work together or if i need more shock build up to freeze the enemies. same goes for the penetration

[queen mountain]

I'm not leveled enough for explosive shot. I've been using permafrost, but it feels weak so was wondering if galvanic might be better until I can get level 7 gems

[spare quartz]

Yeah it's massively good. My Ranger has 81% chance to dodge just about everything

[left ledge]

permafrost with increase chance/build up of freeze combined with fragmentaion round does alot of damage for clear

[spare quartz]

Don't go all in on evasion though, have one ES piece and some passives

[patent lintel]

This line is actually scaling. But says it shouldn't. Think GGG will leave it alone and update the text, or is this getting fixed? Curious if I should keep building like this or switch before it's dead

[thorny token]

unscalable value means it do not scales with modifiers on the weapon not that its actually unscaleable by anything

[patent lintel]

So all my passive tree AOE nodes and this weapon are working as intended?

[ruby lagoon]

Yes

[thorny token]

yes

[patent lintel]

Omg beautiful.

I shall keep this up

[thorny token]

the unscaleable value was added when catalysts were added to the game just fyi

and they just shown it everywhere

[thin basin]

Anyone figured out a way to run smooth double curse setup without like manual casting 2 or one being on blasphemy?

[thorny token]

well there arent rly options are there

its either cast on or self cast or blasphemy

[wheat raft]

I've grabbed a widowhail for leveling and want to pair it with a nice quiver every 10 levels. Assuming flat damage, level to projectile skills and projectile speed is the way to go?

for a spark-oriented leveling build?

[distant canopy]

this seems like nothing but i feel like i dont understand it

[astral willow]

is that an increase to the crit chance before other modifiers are added?

[thorny token]

flat isnt gonna do much as it only applies to bow attacks

its base crit

its pretty good

its scaled with inc crit after

[distant canopy]

even if it is base 1% seems so miniscule

[thorny token]

well bow base crit is normally 5% for example

so thats 20% more crit there

[wheat raft]

I see, so I could just buy a +proj skills and +%proj speed quiver and spam spark? Am I missing out on anything?

[thorny token]

pierce and dex is also good, also check corrupted implicits on quivers

[left ledge]

What are people using as layers of defence for HC?

[thorny token]

there are some generic ones that will apply to spark i think

[wheat raft]

great thank you

[distant canopy]

so the 1% base crit is really only useful for weapons that have incredibly low base crit

[thorny token]

yes

especially because pathing to that cluster is absolute trash

[distant canopy]

10%->11% is not nearly as much of an increase as 5%->6%

[thin basin]

Hmmm maybe weapon swap double curse then

[thorny token]

you can also jsut do the hand of chayula shit

its just a bit annoying

[thin basin]

but my sigil of power

[spare sluice]

monk player here trying to finish first trial, keep dying. any leveling builds I can focus on to make it a bit easier? I feel so weak lolll

[fathom ore]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMk1kJss5cE my build is too laggy for play...plz help for more stability

[thorny token]

well it says it always uses unarmed maybe it will still work :d

[burnt rune]

guys i think one of my spells is bugged
me an another range call down orb of storms and mine triggers orbs of storm really really slowly but his triggers them fast

i made a video but size is to big for discord

same skills same everything

[thorny token]

same supports too?

[burnt rune]

yeap

im uploading to youtube atm

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwgrOdCNfFM&ab_channel=HammerBg

its really weird

[distant canopy]

why does jamanra the abomination impale himself with his telekinetic spear after saying "die foolish sekhemas"?

is it supposed to be an accident?

[eager ravine]

I mean, not much to know if we can't see both of your characters, their stats, their speeds, if they use the same gear, gem levels, alot of variables.

[burnt rune]

what can effect a spell triggering another spell?

no one character is the same

but my OoS has been acting like this ever since act 2 since i got it

[eager ravine]

Cooldown recovery, cast speed, skill speed, idk what all interacts how either yet

[thorny token]

i think you are just missing chains

[burnt rune]

thats more than 40 levels ago

[thorny token]

nothing affects actual oos speed

[eager ravine]

You saw the source code?

[burnt rune]

can you explain?

[thorny token]

you are either missing levels on oos which gives more chains or you are not spawning multiple oos with overabundance or you are missing chain support

[thorny token]

oos gains extra chains with levels

check the gem

and chain support doubles that value and adds 1

[burnt rune]

his was lvl 5

mine was lvl 3 and in the video i made it lvl 5

in every guide i saw they say level does not matter

[rapid seal]

For sorc, and any class in general. Is it the weapon the main thing that changes the damage? For example the sorc going crazy with the attack speed, thats from the wand right(and boosed by skill tree)

[eager ravine]

It's from cast speed

It can roll on wand, focus, rings, (gloves uniques) and more

[thorny token]

level matters

[burnt rune]

we are the same levle

on skills

something else is the problem

[thin basin]

U sure u both using the same support?

[burnt rune]

yes

i asked he said

i wasnet looking at his monitor tho

[thin basin]

What about skill tree

[thorny token]

i really doubt you are

[burnt rune]

not the same

[thin basin]

Isnt there some chain stuff on the tree

[thorny token]

looking at the vid again i think hes spawning 2 oos there

and you arent

[burnt rune]

yes i swaped supports

[thorny token]

look at the beginning of the animation

[eager ravine]

This is why I said, we can't see anything if we don't have all the stats/info

We see your side, and that's all really

[burnt rune]

i dont get what should i see?

[thorny token]

2 circls

outer ones

then look at yours

1 circle

he has 2 oos down there

[thin basin]

Put on unleash or echo and see if theres differences?

[thorny token]

well you need both overabundance and unleash which is what that dude probably has

[distant canopy]

also a unique necklace you can get to pare with overabundance that adds another +1 to limit so you can have 3 orbs of storms down at the same time

[burnt rune]

ill try those two now

same thing

[thorny token]

also if you have jewellers then invest it onto oos as well

for chain

[fringe ibex]

does shock have a limit to how strong it can be?

[thorny token]

well it has limited scaling but otherwise no

[eager ravine]

There's no cap

[pearl sluice]

How do ppl sustain mana costs on endgame builds ? I see some ppl running lvl30 gems

Also one thing pretty weird bone storm mana cost says 75 if i go to skill screen, but if i check tooltip its 175

Anyone knows why?

[thorny token]

supports modify cost and skill screen also do not accounts for extra levels

[plain topaz]

why am i using 100 spirit without any skills on?

60

it was a glitch nvm

[pastel valley]

is Crouching Tuna's Archmage Spark Lightning Conduit Stormweaver build on Maxroll the current sorc meta?

[regal furnace]

How well will evasion stacking with queen of the forest smuggler coat and surefooted jade last me?

[thorny token]

its most likely very similar to all other archmage sorcs so yes

[midnight bolt]

are there any minion enjoyers here, can skeletal clerics revive each other?

[pastel valley]

no CI needed?

[thorny token]

depends on what you are doing, if not doing EB then no reason to not go CI

if doing EB then the life can still be somewhat useful

[static pawn]

Whats the best way to find a better crossbow? Im in act 3 cruel atm.

[pastel valley]

what's EB? 😄

[thin basin]

lil bit more polished

[thorny token]

eldritch battery, converts ES to mana

[thorny token]

finding it on trade site if you arent ssf :d

[pastel valley]

ah yes... the Maxroll sorc build uses EB

[thorny token]

then yea you probs dont want to go CI there until pretty high investment

i wouldnt go CI at all there until maelstorm flask for example

[fiery wave]

man i cant believe i havent used grim feast until now rofl

i feel like i coulda avoided 90% of my deaths

[thorny token]

yea grim feast is pretty broken

[fiery wave]

which was mostly random bumrushes or stutters in ritual

[vivid crown]

how far is 6 meters in terms of a fully zoomed out screen?

[pastel valley]

thank you for your replies

[pearl sluice]

What does unleash do for orb of storms? I don't understand unleash at all tbh

[ember minnow]

Can someone suggest me spark storm build. I cant decide so many builds there

[thin basin]

spark build 1 vs spark build 2

[floral folio]

option 1 (21%) with rapidshot or option 2 rapidshot (28%)

I was leaning more towards option 1 because i have 72 rounds but the other one obviously crits more often but its less damage wanted to get another opinion

[spring temple]

unleash would recast it for free if you haven't been casting it in a while, but orb of storms has a limit of 1 so when it recasts it will replace the old one. basically won't do anything unless you increase the limit of Orb of Storms

[thin basin]

actually theres a few variant but theyre pretty much all very similar

[snow arch]

Should I socket penetration or something bigger brained?

don't bug me about the quality I bought it like this

[placid lark]

so: %damage bonus, damage conversion and gain %dmg as extra type
%dmg bonus is before conversion, but where does 'gain %dmg as extra type' fit into that

[hallow spruce]

Do you need the uniques for demon form?

The ones that convert health to ES?

Or does it just make it like 10x better

Bc I was thinking of just doing the cap demonflame at 10 until then

[astral willow]

Ghostwrithe doesn't really do anything special for demon form

[hallow spruce]

Doesn’t it lower ur health?

And convert it to ES

I see it on all the builds

[median halo]

can someone explain how endless munition -deadeye perk work? I have a bow that shoots an additional projectile. I picked this up thinking i would be shooting 3 projectiles now. But i dont see a difference in the number of shots.

[astral willow]

you see it on them because they run rare gear with flat life regen to counteract the damage you take.

[hallow spruce]

Ye that’s what I was gonna do

[astral willow]

lowering hp reduces the amount of regen you need to be stable

[hallow spruce]

But for now if I cap it at 10

[hallow spruce]

Yeah you wanna have more regen than life right?

[astral willow]

what no just enough that staying in demon form doesn't kill you

but tbh that whole gameplan falls off hard early in maps. You get better performance staying in normal form and keeping all your gear bonuses

[hallow spruce]

Well yeah like more regen than you’re losing kinda thing?

[azure wyvern]

Are the unique boots with 50% magic find Worth it?

those

if going for magic find

[mystic shard]

so dangerous though, and ive no idea where to farm with em

[azure wyvern]

I bought them for one exalted but idk how good the extra 20% rarity is lul

any boots can get this

[dense tendon]

Hi everyone I found very intresting interaction for warbringer, but don't have any idea how to broke it. So in warbringer ascendancy our totem cast ancestral spirit minion. When you create new totem, the old one dies and the minion dies too. With seeing star plate mace (energy generation is doubled) one spirit generate around 50 energy for commet cast. The problem is the delay between totem appear and cast ancestral spirit minion. I don't have any idea how to speed it up to make rain of comments. Poedb dosen't show any statistic about what kind of time it is to scale it.

[median kraken]

I think the problem is the low life part

[azure wyvern]

and at the same time those gloves make you regen life when allies kill enemies

[simple ingot]

are there any caps on numbers other than resistances and if so how do you know when you have hit them ?

[azure wyvern]

this is interesting for magic find too

but helmets can have 60% mf

[ruby ibex]

does using avatar of fire make the other spells i use fire spells for srs or do they need the fire tag

[mint surge]

Hello can anyone tell me why my spirit count is stuck at 78 ? I have +100 from gear but it's not being added

[simple ingot]

have you got any skills consuming spirit or gear that reduces spirit

[regal furnace]

78 out of?

[mint surge]

I was chekcing my tree right now yes it's the invoker passive that disables spirits on gear, thank you

[median kraken]

Yeah, this has come up a lot here

[azure wyvern]

do you think we will get more unique armors when new classes releases?

for sure new unique weapons

[atomic vault]

I think I know the answer to this, but does anyone know with certainty how runes work on Widowhail? If you put an Iron Rune in it wouldn't affect the Phys damage from you quiver correct? I'm assuming picking whatever ele damage rune is best for your build would be the best choice for socketing a widowhail.

[median kraken]

I think we'll be getting more unique items over time in general. But yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if new classes come with more unique items that synergize with them than just weapons.

[kind ginkgo]

thinking about buying some good wand i found something like this but seems too expensive like 50 exalt for something like this? Wanted to hear your thoughts

[south garnet]

Does chaos dmg count towards Plaguefinger Gauze Wraps?

[simple ingot]

i mean +4 to lightning spells is amazing if your a lightning build have you looked at lifesprig ?

[azure wyvern]

are those banners any good?

[fiery wave]

this choice in the campaign

[calm vessel]

What are some good spells on cast on freeze?

[kind ginkgo]

lifesprig has pretty bad maximum mana plus +4 is rare i use lightning build so + 4 for all lightning is alright, however the price it just doesnt seem worth it compraed to mine

[fiery wave]

grmpf

there was a max roll eye of chayula for sale for 2 div and i didnt buy right away

#sad

i only have like 2 div and 350ex rn and my amulet is a beast, id have to redo half my gear

[simple ingot]

yeah 50 is a bit much if you find the same wand but with int instead of light radius id snap it up for 50

[thorny token]

they are fine if you dont have anything better to reserve

[kind ginkgo]

i have total of 2 divs plus like 50 exalted if i find something super extra i can even take out a divine out it just has to be worth it

what gives more dmg mana or spell damage maybe i should just lower mana requirements

i have like 3k

[simple ingot]

do you know how to filter on the trade site ? cuz if you got a couple of divines you should be able to get something pretty amazing

[simple ingot]

sepends do you have arcane intensity ?

[waxen pine]

How the fuck do I make my warrior not die

[simple ingot]

beef

[queen atlas]

i got a skill from a weapon but it doesnt show on the skill list

[thorny token]

play something that can stack str your only option pretty much :d

[eager ravine]

Dodge

[remote narwhal]

Question would impending doom and hex blast work together

[simple ingot]

are you maxing strength out for hhealth and how are your resistances

[waxen pine]

I literally have to just run away and spam sunder because these mobs roll me while I'm charging my slams

[remote narwhal]

I mean if hex blast consumes the curse and it had impending doom on it.

[kind ginkgo]

ye i do but sitll its every 100 mana like getting 50 more spell damage from wand is better than 25 more and like 100 more mana

[waxen pine]

I have 2/4 resists max and I'm sitting at 450 strength at level 60

[eager ravine]

Cap resists first

Lmao

[remote narwhal]

I rather the arcane surge being higher effect than more spell

[eager ravine]

Difference between 70 and 75 reduction is 1/6th less damage taken.

Max res important af

[waxen pine]

It's not even spells that are killing me it's regular mobs lol

[thorny token]

regular mobs also do ele damage

[eager ravine]

And regular hits don't have ele damage? lol

[waxen pine]

I'm just so slow

[remote narwhal]

What class

[kind ginkgo]

do you know every how many mana arcane surge gets more dmg?

[fringe ibex]

the cast on freeze/shock/ignite all share the same energy pool right?

[waxen pine]

Warrior

[frigid scroll]

any builds need this? and if, what would the price be?

[eager ravine]

The rolls are mid and life doesn't synergize with most of those

[thorny token]

wrong channel

[frigid scroll]

what channel do i go with this

[remote narwhal]

You can get higher effect on arcane surge for stormweaver and there's nodes for arcane surges effects to be higher can always put that node on amy

It's not worth dropping the extra cast speed to path there

[thorny token]

trade site ideally, i dont think there is price check channel for poe2 here, we had one for poe1 that basically just told you go to different discord

[kind ginkgo]

its my tree

[waxen pine]

If I throw a shield on I shouldn't be taking barely any dmg from phys hits. Change my mind

[frigid scroll]

lmao

[frigid scroll]

trade site is horrible right now tho

[azure wyvern]

what can reserve mana?

[frigid scroll]

idk if u seen

[thorny token]

yea i know

[frigid scroll]

everyone does not know what is what worth

[radiant pumice]

As Sorcerer I use Chaos Inoculation (CI)
But I die to burning ground - my 1 life is taken before Energy Shield....
Why does it happen? Can I prevent it somehow?

[frigid scroll]

and i see my item listed for 1 divine, 5 divines, and someone listing it for 10 exalteds

[remote narwhal]

You have the 4 nodes I'm talking about. But I'm a crt spark

[kind ginkgo]

i also use spark

[remote narwhal]

I sacrifice some chance for cast speed if I crit

[vast folio]

why exactly is "...and Protect me from Harm" good?

[atomic halo]

you dont need to send this in multiple channels at the same time

[mortal lion]

hi everyone i need a little help. when swapping to a new weapon set, how do i make my skill tree reflect a new set of skills. example. im switching from crossbow to mace. when i switch my skills still show skill for crossbow. why is it when i switch my skills dont allow me to use a differnt set of skills for the mace?

[simple ingot]

arcane surge increases cast speed by 10% so you do more damage because you can cast more spells esentailly +20% mana recovery speed too

[remote narwhal]

16% cast speed for 20% crt chance loss

[vast folio]

Thank you for the help sir!

[kind ginkgo]

jikozon what is your wand

show me it

please

[remote narwhal]

Ps player

And I use staff

Not wand

[kind ginkgo]

staff you say

[remote narwhal]

Earthbound

[kind ginkgo]

hmm it might be better sacrifise some defense for more dmg

also staffs are cheaper

do you use voltaic or chiming

[remote narwhal]

But I run dustbloom for my armor

[simple ingot]

but then you can't have a focus thaat has increased spell damage mana resistance etc

[atomic halo]

by allowing evasion to also apply pdr, it's effectively doubled in its overall defensive effectiveness. since it applies 40% less, it's lik 60% * 2 = 120% value, or 20% more effectiveness from your evasion.

[kind ginkgo]

true my focus is currently like this

[remote narwhal]

And my pathig is different

[atomic halo]

no need to get salty when im just pointing something out, i was searching for the best answer

[vast folio]

doesn't it reduce evasion though? kinda confused

[remote narwhal]

I got recovery from fungal growth so I can have a higher HP pool to survive 1 shots

[atomic halo]

since it applies 40% less, it's like 60% * 2 = 120% value, or 20% more effectiveness from your evasion.

[simple ingot]

are you using eldritch battery ??

[kind ginkgo]

yes

[remote narwhal]

Plus the mana regen

[simple ingot]

the only energy shield that scales to eldritch battery is base energy shield on gear so percentage increases on passive tree or otherwise grant you no bonus

[kind ginkgo]

i am using tattered robe for converting for more energy shield battery plus MoM i have 6.6k energy shield and 3.6k mana

[remote narwhal]

I'm not. I have enough mana Regen from fungal growth I don't need to run into the nodes

10 10% mana Regen stacks with life recovery

[kind ginkgo]

even so i refuned 3 notes and lost 700 ES

[remote narwhal]

My shields suck but I manage through playing smart.

[upper ivy]

For Demon witch: does Health recovery ( like from the Hale Heart notable passive) improve life regeneration rate? Trying to pick my amulet imbuement.

[celest vector]

its not pdr its armour and been confirmed and armour is dogshit hence the node is dogshit, problem solved /s

[remote narwhal]

Pita doesn't have near the cast speed I do.

Your is stronger defensively.

[remote narwhal]

Mines more fill the room before they have the chance to hit me

I'm at 75% crt chance

[kind ginkgo]

we went from the subject do i go for wand with more spell damage or more mana...

[remote narwhal]

Well for spark cast speed is always the best choice

[forest dragon]

trying witch demon form and cant figure out why archmage not activate for me any idea?

[remote narwhal]

Faster casting makes it more dps

You already have 13 proj at lvl 10 gem

If it's quality 20

Add wild shards in that's 21 when it goes off.

[upper ivy]

if you have spirit-cost support gems in the demon form, you'll add that spirit cost when you shape shift

[remote narwhal]

Using a example.

That's almost more than arrow rain.

[forest dragon]

i have 100’spirit and archmage cost 100. what am i missing?

[remote narwhal]

How much mana and how much spell

[upper ivy]

do any of the support gems you have slotted into the DEMON FORM ability cost spirit

[remote narwhal]

My ends harder to set up without currency.

[forest dragon]

i use archmage with light mastery

[upper ivy]

what support gems do you have in the demon form ability

[kind ginkgo]

Exacly i am trying to buy a wand but the spell and mana varies on them I cant decide what is more important

there is no cheap wand that has both high spell and mana

even in 1 div category

[remote narwhal]

I'm using 2 seeds of cataclysm now but acts I was using sanguinancer and the two rings

Dustbloom was to counter the loss of HP sanguinancer caused

[forest dragon]

second wind

[remote narwhal]

40% spell crit but bloodmagic

[remote narwhal]

Both are ok but like I said with spark cast speed is more important

More sparks you have out the more dps u have

Mana doesn't do as much

Mana is always going to be lower value.

[forest dragon]

when i am on demon form it says archmage is not available for this wepon set.

[remote narwhal]

Over spell.

[kind ginkgo]

okay cast speed is important but wands dont have that much cast speed

[remote narwhal]

Yea

Why I use earthbound

I get another trigger on kill of spark

But

Like I was saying it's costly

[kind ginkgo]

check this out two wands with "good" spell dmg and mediocare cast speed

1 div

[remote narwhal]

You gotta change the staff lvl alot.

Bottom one.

And yea

Sadly.

[sharp kestrel]

hey all, does anyone know if increased crit damage modifiers apply to ignite?

[remote narwhal]

There some nodes on passive that says that

Gimme a sec to find the name of the node in that cluster

[magic portal]

How can increase the slot number from unbound Avatar from 2 to 3? The jewelers orb doesn't work on it

[fiery wave]

anyone how peopel stack life regen on demon form

[snow sierra]

you go rly low hp

and stack flat life regen

[fiery wave]

as far as my research goes you get like 100 regen per second and 100% increased rate about

[remote narwhal]

Look up total incineration in passive tree

[thin basin]

level up more

[remote narwhal]

It'll awnser ur question in those 5 nodes there

[fiery wave]

even on a pretty decent 300 health thats not even 2 minutes

[magic portal]

Just by levels or get more asc points?

[thin basin]

levels

[snow sierra]

ppl go down to 200hp so losing a % of that is very low, and then get flat life reggen there are items with 30-50 life reg per sec

[fiery wave]

i checked there i no item over 27

like boots top out at 23

there is a unique helm at 27

you can get a breach ring to 27

you get about 100

[remote narwhal]

I'm surprised dustbloom isnt more valuable

[balmy snow]

im playing a ball lightning + warp sorcerer and im ate the end of act 3 but my built has kinda week dmg against bosses any sugestions?

[thin basin]

you need to be around 200 hp, stack flat life regen and get life regen rate on tree supposedly can net you around 250ish stack before having to reset

[fiery wave]

well i lied you get about 130 because you ahve 5 slots not 4

you cant use amulet

[remote narwhal]

Get rid of the shock nodes up top

[fiery wave]

at the very least you miss amulet and chest slot

[snow sierra]

why should you miss the amulett slot

[fiery wave]

because you need it for eye of chayula

[remote narwhal]

Warp and ball already have high chance of shock

[fiery wave]

you get -36% max from eye and -61% amx from ghostwrite

[sharp kestrel]

I see it, but that's increased crit damage against burning enemies, what I'm wondering if crit damage affects the damage of an ignite? Or in PoE2 terms, does critical damage affect ignite magnitude?

[thin basin]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otE0g3W3GnQ

[balmy snow]

the magnitude is good tho i think

[snow sierra]

get mings ring

[remote narwhal]

Yes but rn u want the pen

[snow sierra]

you can get two of those

[balmy snow]

ok thanks

[fiery wave]

mings is just a worse version of eye

losing 30% of energy shield lol

and you trade the 27 from ring for the 37 from amulet

well let me check what max in amulet slot is

[remote narwhal]

Plus magnitude more effects lightning conduit better than ball or warp.

[fiery wave]

40 is max in tha tslot

[remote narwhal]

Np

[fiery wave]

it doesnt move the needle by making your build worse tho, ill look if i find someone who built it

[remote narwhal]

Could try doryani prototype too

[snow sierra]

if you want even more reg you can build in recoup

with infernal flame

but that is getting rly scetchy

[remote narwhal]

And lower your res to lightning

Then get more armor and es

Since lower res on lightning affects enemies

[balmy snow]

doryani prototype is an armor right?

[remote narwhal]

And it's dmg to your armor on lightning instead and yea

[fiery wave]

yeah i kinda wanna look into infernal flame with max fire res that one shoudl be good too you at least free up a bunch of mana nodes

[remote narwhal]

It's a double edged sword tho

[snow sierra]

ye but getting you energy shield chunked hurts

[remote narwhal]

Not enough armor and ur screwed

[snow sierra]

even with max fire res

[sudden elm]

so I've been using this for ever (currently 76, still clearing well imo) I'm trying to look around for an upgrade as I'm a lightning crit build. would I be needing to plug in the minimums 19 phys dmg, 14 attack speed, and 35% increase? am I still looking for a high phys staff (since it seems to have rather decent scaling I think) or should i be seeking solely a crackling staff.

[fiery wave]

yeah but i think you could get to over 90% resist

[snow sierra]

no you cant

because thats the hardcap

[fiery wave]

oh whats the hard cap

90?

[snow sierra]

yes

[fiery wave]

ah okay

so probably you can get there

not sure tho

[snow sierra]

or was it 85% ? no i kinda sure it was 90

you can

[remote narwhal]

90%

And yea

[snow sierra]

ive seen a guy do it

and use recoup on demon form

[sonic shuttle]

How much would these go for?

[remote narwhal]

Does it matter if ur HP is low

[snow sierra]

but it looked scetchy af, because he dropped very full infernal flame down

[fiery wave]

oh wait i can get 10% max fire res from jewels

[remote narwhal]

As long as ur ticking hp

[wary wave]

[snow sierra]

nothing cause 20%

and no rarity

[fiery wave]

you can probably sell them

[sonic shuttle]

What does no rarity mean?

They are stacked with res

Every stat is useful, I dont get it

[fiery wave]

i would try 10 ex probably

[snow sierra]

rhat is rarity

[remote narwhal]

Isn't that witch demon form???

[sonic shuttle]

oh, you mean rarity of items, thats important for boots?

[remote narwhal]

Making sure

[snow sierra]

its important for every item that you want ppl to buy for a high price

[fiery wave]

i used the wrong term

idk i havent seen magic find move the needle

[snow sierra]

and boots you want 30-35% movespeed for them to be rly good

[fiery wave]

if you get 30% movespeed and 2 resists you will get 1 div+

[snow sierra]

dude ? there are ppl that getting 10-20 divs per good map

because of rarity

[remote narwhal]

Yea

[snow sierra]

it moves the needle absolutly

to a insane amount

[fiery wave]

okay try to sell the boots for 2 div 😄

[remote narwhal]

Anyways

[snow sierra]

my boots are like 10ex maybe...cause 25% movespeed

[wary wave]

quick question, but as a sorc, should I stack only energy shield ? like, should I go for max energy shield possible

[snow sierra]

nobody wants those

[wary wave]

or have a mix of evasion/es

[remote narwhal]

If someone can awnser that questions on demon form cause I'm confused on it

[fiery wave]

the point being people usually want defenses first or whatever their primary important stat is and then rarity find as much as possible

[wary wave]

also, is CI good for it ?

[remote narwhal]

Is it the lowest possible hp

[snow sierra]

yes but if you cant fit rarity you screwed

[remote narwhal]

Or is it ticking hp

[snow sierra]

ofc you need to make your build work first

[remote narwhal]

Like meaning the stacks tick

[muted spire]

Whats the best witch minion inf build to clear maps fast

[snow sierra]

demon form

loses hp % per stack

because of that you want low max hp

so the % hp is only very small

and you can counteract it with flat numbers

[remote narwhal]

So eternal youth wouldn't be viable

[snow sierra]

no

because recharge stops

from degen

allready tryed it

[remote narwhal]

Hold up hold up

[snow sierra]

but decent idea

[remote narwhal]

Isn't there something that keeps it going?

[snow sierra]

no there is only a chest for recend

thats 3sec i belive

so not usefull

[remote narwhal]

Cause life regens

Eternal youth takes the es recharge and adds it to life regen correct

[snow sierra]

No

with eternal youth your hp just works like energyshield

And even IF you could make life recharge work (its not possible) it would still be worse then the low hp demon version

[remote narwhal]

Prayers for rain

Look that up

[snow sierra]

dude

do you read what ive said ? i just mention that item

and why it dos not work

with all the effort you are doing it would let you substain your demon for a insane time of 4 seconds on high stacks

before degen stops the recharge

[west pagoda]

Anyone know if the echoing notables stack with each other?
I'm not seeing any difference in my DPS number on my skills but can't tell if I'm just not getting ailments on at the same time or not

[remote narwhal]

Bruh

Prayers of rain negates it if recharge has started recently

[snow sierra]

recently means 4 sec

that means your recharge stays 4 sek before its gone

[fiery wave]

@snow sierra mathil uses two rings and skips the amulet as you suggested

i remembered he did this build

i forget you could use 2

imma look at his last update now

[snow sierra]

ye because i belive thanks to the rings you can to the perfect hp amount

[fiery wave]

he got to 180

[snow sierra]

since you can ajust them with quality

[fiery wave]

well im boned anyway i did the life quest

even tho it should only account for like 10 stacks

but yeah then i need to switch to chaos damage

[potent ginkgo]

Does anyone have a good witch-hunted build that doesnt use grenades, I’m currently using a lightning build but the act 2 boss is pretty much immune

[fiery wave]

i hoped you could get to higher life regen total

[timid pulsar]

im about to ascend as ranger, i wanted to know what I should be building towards to do some of the stuff i see people do on t15 maps, just clearing everything so fast

[snow sierra]

i think you can do alot with life regen and notes that buff regeneration

gear will let you clear fast

i would recommend deadeye if you dont know what you are doing its more flexible, if you have a plan pathfinder can be good too

[midnight geode]

guys anyone knows if aftershocks can trigger ailments? Bleed specifically

[clever bolt]

Does anyone have like a link or youtuve video for a build that’s powerful in endgame. I was a titan warrior and now I’m not having a fun time at tier 10 maps at all.

[snow sierra]

Can i sell you on titan summoner ?xD

[clever bolt]

Like I’m actually having zero fun it’s bad

[clever bolt]

At this point that might be better than what I have

[snow sierra]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmXUR-4mou0

here you go

that is a decent guide

if you cap out at t15 with decent gear and feel stuck again you can hit me hp and we can improve on that base

[fiery wave]

maybe my maff is bad too because he only got 6% less max life than what i went from

and he was at 180

he could even get 6% more from his chest

[clever bolt]

Are stormweavers insane, or are those guides like super expensive builds? I’m fairly new to poe I can’t even lie

[fiery wave]

the 100% bonus were also correct

[snow sierra]

Without gear you wont make it in poe

But minions and dd are the cheapst builds you can run

[clever bolt]

Yeah cause I saw videos of storm weavers just clearing maps in like seconds it was insane

And I was here with my 2 business days to attack build

[midnight geode]

anyone knows if aftershocks can trigger ailments? Bleed specifically

[snow sierra]

well if you would make that build

you wont clear shit mostlikely

cause i assume you are at what 10 ? 20 ex ?

[clever bolt]

Yeah 20 lmao

[snow sierra]

ye you cant even get half the amulett most stormweavers are using with that

but if you spend smart 20ex makes you a decent minion build

[thorny token]

yes, they are just attack but repeated pretty much

[midnight geode]

holy im gonna make an insane build

[pearl sluice]

Why does Ziz use persistance (40% inc duration) with spark?

[snow sierra]

if you need buying adivice just hit me up, on most minion releated stuff i can help

[clever bolt]

🫡

[hybrid hedge]

which mf support build would you guys recommend to support a monk? I am stuck between PF Alchemist's Boon (ES recovery for party members) and Witch Hunter for aoe explosions/cull.

[potent ginkgo]

Does anyone have a good witch-hunter build without grenades?

[thorny token]

yes just dont use grenades

and click galvanic + shockburst

build done

[glad rune]

Not sure if this is the right thread for this but: if I have ignore non-negative elem res while frozen, do I still need cold pen?

[fiery wave]

im most surprised he has 10k ES with -60% global defenses lol

[thorny token]

there shoul dbe bunch of guides for that even but its very simple build really

[fiery wave]

so apparently its just subtracted from max and not applied after as i expected

[potent ginkgo]

I’m already using a lightning build but I’m at the act 2 cruel final boss and he’s immune to lightning

[thorny token]

he is not immune to lightning

[potent ginkgo]

I can’t inflict shock

[snow sierra]

global defense stuff dos not seem to have the biggest impact

yes

[thorny token]

grab stormcaller arrow for guaranteed one pretty much

on weapon swap

[fiery wave]

he also just accounts for 22 stacks

eh 44

[potent ginkgo]

I’m already using it but it’s not activating shock, I’m also stacking it with voltaic mark

[fiery wave]

wait my maff, ah whatever

[thorny token]

odd, i dont remember any boss that i wasnt able to shock and i was leveling with shockburst

[fiery wave]

220 i missed a decimal

okay this is interesting i think i might try

[potent ginkgo]

The only time I ever saw him get shocked it was only for a split second which I assumed was just a visual glitch because the icon never showed and shock burst rounds didn’t activate on him

[thorny token]

yea i definitely killed him with shockburst so idk

you can just try electrocuting him too as that enables shockburst as well

[thin basin]

does shock get reapplies multipletimes on bosses?

[thorny token]

yea he can be shocked juust fine

[thorny token]

yea

but like only highest is active

[fiery wave]

can i change quality on a corrupted item?

all these mings hearts are corrupted with 0 quality on them lol

[twin coral]

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/plasma-burst-deadeye-ds-lily

anybody have a skill build for this but merc?

[thin basin]

yea u pick merc then use the same tree and skill

[odd ore]

whats the name of the item that increases rarity per socketed rune or core?

[thorny token]

yea just do literaly same thing but start on merc

lmao

[twin coral]

so just remove those starter nodes

ok thanks

[thorny token]

also not clicking thunderstruck is criminal

[twin coral]

idk if i like this build. lots of missed damage nodes. but its a pretty well known build maker so im assuming its really good

[thorny token]

most of lilys builds from poe1 were just copies from someone elses build

take it for what you will

for deadeye that tree can be made a lot better, for merc you are tad more limited

[dapper zodiac]

noob question albeit im t5 endgame. from the few builds ive followed, each of their tree has roughly 25 more skills than i do, while being only 10 levels higher. are they using delirium to get free skill points?
ive gotten all the skill books from the campaign.

i originally thought the weapon set gave you 24 free points of which i never used but found out they still use regular skill points. am i missing something here?

[thorny token]

this is what im doing on mine for example

[twin coral]

can i send mine and you can let me know if its bad

[thorny token]

actually i guess that works for merc just fine too

[thorny token]

sure just post it here i guess

[thorny token]

only passives on tree you can get are from campaign and levels

[snow sierra]

if you have 24 here you have every skillpoint

[thorny token]

so if you feel like you are missing some you missed them in campaign

there is no other source of them

[remote narwhal]

Which version of demon form are u doing???

Are u using stitched or nah

[charred wing]

if you have the unique bow and quiver passives nodes, can u get more +1 skills from a quiver.. like say +2 turns to +4?

[snow sierra]

i dont do demon form, i dont like it but i experiemented with the mechanics to make my build work, but it didnt the best i got is somekind of autocast loop

[thorny token]

yes

[dapper zodiac]

ya ive got 24, and lvl 77. seen some builds where they are lvl 85 but have 20+ more skills than i do, just curious how theyre getting so many

[thorny token]

with widowhail and quiver nodes on tree +2 turns into +8

[charred wing]

thats insane 😮

[remote narwhal]

What skill??

[left ledge]

Do the Ancestral Spirits summoned from the totems use the same skill as the totems. I would also assum they are probably not worth building around (we can build around totems but specifically the spirits probably are not worth it)?

For totems, seeing as they use their own wepon it shouldnt matter what weapon im weilding for their damage correct? (if im using a low dps wep but gives + melee skill levels would be more better for totems correct?

edit- looking at the skill tree it seems like totems are really just used as buffs, they can be dmg but alot of it is just extra buffs

[eager ravine]

You sure they're skill points, and not weapon set 1 and weapon set 2 points?

Cause with weapon swap setup it looks like they have 140+ points

But 24 of those are 0.5 points

[snow sierra]

what do you mean what skill ?

[remote narwhal]

I mean did you try with it

[eager ravine]

You can basically setup a build with your 99 level points, and then 24 points for weapon 1 and 24 points for weapon 2 making the skilltree look like it's using 147 points

[snow sierra]

I did try to make demon stichers work to get energy shield back

and experiemented with alot of mechanics to see if i can substain them somehow

[remote narwhal]

Well....

Mom and eldritch is that one

[dapper zodiac]

i thought weapon sets still use regular skill points, but you can have specific skills for 1 weapon and not the other.
perhaps im gonna have to do some experimenting

[remote narwhal]

Someone on yt has a video over it

[floral folio]

how good is reality rending? because when i read it, it looks like its just free extra damage?

[remote narwhal]

Some interaction with ghostwrite

[eager ravine]

Yea, you can have 99 skill points from levels that work on both weapon slots, and then 24 that work on set 1 and 24 that work on set 2. It's a really nice feature to like make weaponset 1 have full DPS and weapon set 2 Duration/curse

[remote narwhal]

And that helm

[snow sierra]

well if you equip ghostwrite you have very low hp

[thorny token]

well you are paying asc points for it but yes its damage

[snow sierra]

so not lot gained from demon stitchers

[thorny token]

but it also wont be scaled by your elemental or physical stuff etc

so it will be usually quite a bit less than what the number says in the end unless you were chaos build in first place already

[remote narwhal]

Wait are we on the same item???

I'm talking about a helm

[snow sierra]

nah

i talking about that

[remote narwhal]

Yea mb

[twin coral]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/passive-tree/l512bp01

[snow sierra]

i wanted to make it work to get alot of energy shield back

[twin coral]

red = cross bow
green = bow

[remote narwhal]

Did you try Mom and eldritch??

[snow sierra]

why should that help with substain

its a bigger max life pool to start with

[remote narwhal]

It's a weird interaction

[thorny token]

i wouldnt bother with weapon swap speed its not very impactful

[remote narwhal]

1 sec

[floral folio]

but if i get more chaos damage it will make it go up?

[twin coral]

should i still try to get more eva nodes and go tailwind

[placid lark]

can you corrupt an implicit on an amulet that already has an allocated/delirium node?

[thorny token]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/passive-tree/dl12ca01 i would do something like this on that tree

[twin coral]

thanks!

[thorny token]

oh also grab sand in the eyes too if you can forgot to grab it there

[twin coral]

do I eventualyl go acrobaticsor nah?

[thorny token]

well tailwind comes from deadeye so you cant right :d

[twin coral]

so sorry acrobatics

was reading that guided

[thorny token]

ah, yea sure

dont rly have many options as merc

i did not go acro on deadeye because going hybrid is way better but pathing to the hybrid nodes from merc sounds painful

[analog gale]

is choir of the storm better than stormweavers elemental storms?

[thorny token]

also idk about grabbing the attribute star, you shouldnt struggle that much with attribs

[analog gale]

its got a 0.5 second cooldown while elemental storm has a 5 second cooldown

[thin basin]

u guys think arcane surge gem is worth it + the top left nodes if im not stormweaver?

[analog gale]

iirc temporalis breaks choir of the storm right now but once it doesnt cause an infinite loop then something like crit ball lightning could be pretty good with it

[twin coral]

More like I thought jack of all trades is nice
But also I struggle with int cause I’m using cast on shock for voltaic mark and conductivity
Do you think this guy has a good build?

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/passive-tree/4t2b70vh

[thorny token]

cast on shock voltaic mark is kinda counterproductive i would say :d

[floral folio]

deathbloom would reality bending benefit from getting passive chaos damage increase nodes?

[thorny token]

and conductivity is useless with the pen you already have imo

as pen cant go below 0 and pen applies last, and you wont put stuff to negativewith just conductivity

also curses dont gain much from levels

so you can simply use lower level curse

to solve int issues

[thorny token]

and skipping electrocute nodes is heresy as i said earlier they are so good

[twin coral]

Thanks for giving a lot of help!

Also weird imo pen can’t go below 0 but I guess it makes sense

Can’t the players resistance go negative

[thorny token]

yea -res sources can put stuff to negative

but pen cant

imo it was pretty good change because pen in poe1 was giga annoying to get and you were locked to pen supports

which wouldnt rly work well with limited support system

[twin coral]

But that does answer a long standing question I had if it went negative or not 👍

[thorny token]

so they instead limited it to 0 an made it super available on tree

btw if you ever get bored of shockburst would also recommend bonestorm + plasma blast if you want to one shot stuff its pretty funny as well and works on same build with basically no changes :d

you basically get 1k flat phys from bonestorm debuff and just kill stuff

[fiery briar]

Does guiding palm grant your actual numeric life regen to your allies?

[twin coral]

i will thank you that sounds interesting
i liked t his build so far because its literally just an assault rifle
most of poe 1 I played a cyclone or tornado shot being a meta slave
i think this game was a lot more fun so I made my own and it just wasnt SUPER effective but it was fine for campaign

[olive harbor]

are sorc builds without everlasting gaze ok for t15? I am trying to get an everlasting gaze and every day divine orbs for exalted go up in price

[jade stone]

My spark sorc is feeling underwhelming after about 30d invest (skill issue my part) thinking about rolling into a monk maybe stat stacking how much would it take to get one up and running

[urban vessel]

does conductivity stack with exposure?

[olive harbor]

spark sorc seems very overrated its probably only good when you're overgeared so your spark actually does something

and all spark sorc gear is extremely expensive

[jade stone]

I’m at around 40k tooltip but the belt is around 30d itself for my next bug upgrade and I’m struggling to get good value out of breached

Breaches

[snow sierra]

because its good every streamer plays it and every viewer trys it, the rule of the poe market

dont play what streamers play

[jade stone]

Thanks lance

[olive harbor]

I watched kripparian for like 5 minutes and he plays summoner

also I started with a random frost build I made myself and its utter crap

and they nerfed freeze

[snow sierra]

Summoner is still good tho, because its so universal that you cant priceguage items

[olive harbor]

what do you mean, a lot of the +spirit stuff and minion boosting items are expensive

and its insanely laggy

[tender harbor]

Is there anyway to convert energy shield to mana

[snow sierra]

No its not expensive at all

eb carr

[neat bison]

I clear T15 easy with like 2Div worth of gear as summoner

[snow sierra]

ill do you better

i do it for 20-30ex

tops

[honest turret]

hello! Any spark sorc out there can give an opinion whether this wand is worth buying for 30 ex?

[thin basin]

no mana lule

[grand gorge]

what would you say is a good warrior weapon, going into act 3

[honest turret]

bad?

[balmy fable]

@soft lake i still might go bleed at some point and use sanguine diviners for bleed chance

[urban vessel]

does skill speed affect cast time? or only cast speed

[urban vessel]

where +4

[neat flame]

hi all, happy holidays - just to confirm - call of the brotherhood conversion doesn't work with archmage does it?

[pearl sluice]

Hi guys Im a beginner in PoE 2 (PoE in general) and I started with Monk. I got to the Devourer and I feel that I have to rely too much on dodging to be effective with this class, however this doesnt suit my playstyle very much. I usually like to face tank everything and feel confortable but I also enjoy ranged classes.

Any recommendations guys? Thanks in advance.

[snow sierra]

yes archemage dos not get convered as far as i am aware

[neat flame]

thanks 🙂

[thin basin]

you cannot "face tank everything" in poe2 sadly

maybe some stuff

[pearl sluice]

Ive been also dying a lot, which is normal for someone not used to this type of game

[left ledge]

skill speed is cast and attack speed

[pearl sluice]

Is there any class at the beginning strong enough to beat mobs in 1/2 shots?

[snow sierra]

no we are not playing diablo, summoner will be kinda easy to level if you can reach summon rageing spirit

that is around level 15 i belive

[pearl sluice]

Summoner? What class is that? Sorc?

Witch?

[snow sierra]

Witch would be the easiest pick for it, look to find +1 level to minion gems on helm, scepter and amulett while leveling

vendors have them here and there

but will be painfull until 15 then smoother but allmost any build has a hard time while leveling, pewpew oneshot power is to be found later

[pearl sluice]

Any easy to follow guide for summoner witch?

Maxroll guides are... idk lol

[snow sierra]

gimme sec trying to find a good youtube video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWUXWq-cUhI

this should help you out

he explains alot of stuff for new ppl

[tender harbor]

If I do MoM and CI on blood mage can I cast?

Or does it not even calculate the fact damage will turn to mana

[pearl sluice]

Ah thanks bro thats really helpful. Apreciate it man 💪

[snow sierra]

you will still gnaw away at bosses hp at the start ho

[pearl sluice]

Tell me about it.. already died 5 times on the devourer with Monk

I really dont know how to play this game lol

[grand gorge]

could someone help me find a good warrior weapon for going into act 3? i have literally ZERO experience in that online trading site

[snow sierra]

try to pick hp items when you find them and equip them, just hp no matter what base. And look for the stats i mentioned, but i think he explains all of that in the video very well

[pine turtle]

[Infernalist] Guys, does Beidat's Hand work if you have Chaos Inoculation enabled? Does BH calculate the bonus before your HP turns to 1?

[snow sierra]

no it dos not

[pearl sluice]

Yeah will definitely give it a shot... However I would love to stick with monk, his visual animations are amazing

[snow sierra]

CI and life res dos not mix

[thin basin]

put 2h mace, put your level in max requirement, put max 5 exalt, search, sort by dps

and hope people respond

[snow sierra]

dont know anything about monk and how to make it easy to level so cant help you out there

[grand gorge]

how tf do i get exalt orbs T_T

[thin basin]

play the game

[pearl sluice]

Yeah all good no worries man. I'll eventually learn

[pine turtle]

Thanks. But life res? BH gives you ES, tho

[fleet tundra]

Can you empower the same attack with multiple warcries

[ivory matrix]

Do you have a link for that? i'm curious to try it

[snow sierra]

it reserves life it cant on 1 life tho, and 1/8 = 0

[pine stream]

if im using Avatar of Fire on the passive tree, do increases in physical damage in the passive tree not do anything?

[snow sierra]

so the note will do absoluty nothing when you pick it

[balmy fable]

correct

[pine stream]

thanks for the confirmation. I was hoping it didnt work that way but I guess it makes sense haha

[pine turtle]

Oh, sad.
I was hoping the calc would be done considering the HP prior to CI.
Thanks

[balmy fable]

yeah in poe2 increases happen post conversion

[vital crow]

shouldn't all my es get converted?

[paper vine]

Currently working through act 3 cruel with my sparks Stormweaver. Not really having issues rn but curious if I’ll have trouble in maps?

Respec is costly so maybe wondering if I should handle that before max lvl

Not really seeing many options with lightning sorc maybe I’m not very creative though

[short latch]

act 6 is out?

[paper vine]

Nah just meant act 3 cruel

[short latch]

👌👌

[somber spruce]

do we know if momentum works with tempest fury

[grand gorge]

where does one sort by physical damage

[thin basin]

damage per seconds instead of damage

and when you search itll show some numbers under the weapon

[hybrid hedge]

is cotb still being used in monk builds? all I see are Polcirkeln in most build guides.

[thorn sorrel]

should I donate to a fren or hord?

I play warrior but idk if I will try other classes and what not

[grand gorge]

how i get an exalted orb

[celest vector]

donate, its a great wand

[obsidian geode]

Is somebody trading Dream Fragments the ring ?

[thin basin]

you also want to put "rare" insetad of magic in rarity

play the game itll drop eventually

[thorn sorrel]

alright, I shall ✨

[celest vector]

just dont use volatile dead, get detonate dead instead from 7 lv uncut from occult section

[grand gorge]

i have a regal orb

so it shouldnt matter?

[wet mango]

Correct, modifiers are applied after conversion
#1321237459987726366 message

[pastel valley]

what does orb of storm do other than zap enemies within it? why is this guide telling me to be in front of it as much as possible?

[hybrid jacinth]

whats the best monk build?

[static plinth]

You cannot. Costs =/= damage

[wet mango]

You have the amulet with gain as ES? All conversion happens simultaneously, see #1321237459987726366 message

[thin basin]

depend on support gem it can give you good mana regen, or exposure, or more shock, or a bunch of other stuff

[olive ibex]

Does anybody have a good leveling setup i can copy for merc?

[thin basin]

if you have money 250 widowhail, upgrade quiver every 10 levels, poison arrow + firewall

[pastel valley]

the guide has Persistence and Magnify on it. perhaps something in the passive tree makes it do what you said

[pine stream]

i guess it gets confusing because increased physical damage on a weapon does get count towards getting converted

[vital crow]

ahh yes i do thanks for pointing that out

[thin basin]

whats the build?

[wet mango]

Because that is a local stat contributing to the weapon damage

From your char perspective, you look at all the flat damage you have, and (final) weapon damage is one component of that.

[fiery briar]

Does guiding palm grant your actual numeric life regen to your allies?

[static plinth]

Crossbows dont get quivers, right?

[fiery briar]

Wait so weapon base damage (with local increases) + flat from other sources?

[wet mango]

Er what do you mean by weapon base damage (with local increase)

Note that when computing weapon damage we basically run the same computation again (just locally on the weapon). So we add all the flat together, then apply % incr modifiers

[pastel valley]

the maxroll spark sorc leveling build

[fiery briar]

yeah so weapon damage (local stuff) + global flat

[fiery briar]

anyone know the answer to this?

[wet mango]

Yes flat dmg goes through all the other steps, conversion and modifiers

[wet mango]

50% of it but yeah

[grand gorge]

highest dps that i could afford, i got a regal, some augments and a rune adding thing

[thin basin]

put in rares lol

[ornate eagle]

If I don’t need the spell on the weapon, is there any point using a staff over wand+focus? It seems that in theory, affixes combined from wand+focus can roll more than what on a staff.

[sacred sail]

how do i know how small it is ? idk if I can grab some nodes or not

[thin basin]

hmmm i dont see anywhere it said you need to be infront of it, just stay near it and firewall, from the look of the guide its just for extra damage

[fiery briar]

wait so the number I have for life regen personally is based on my max life, will scaling my max life give the regen to someone else based on MY max life?

[grand gorge]

nothing i can afford

[pastel valley]

it says "keeping a Flame Wall active while remaining near your Orb of Storms." "Place down a Flame Wall and Orb of Storms in front of you." - see why i'm confused

[thin basin]

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Standard/ODd0QyOfE sort by dps if you have money otherwise

[burnt fulcrum]

Delete item rarity. It is destroying the character progression and anyone not using it is already behind 10 fold, even if you are farming t15 maps.

[thin basin]

ya early game its just for extra damage while you spam spark, later they turns it into a shock/exposure thing

[wet mango]

Yes. You don't have a stat called "Regen this % of my life each second". You have nodes and items that give you Regen based on % of your max life. The life Regen is the stat

[fiery briar]

got it, thanks man 🙂

[pallid plaza]

Is there a general recommendation over deadeye vs pathfinder? I like poison but what seems like a lack of build diversity with the pathfinder is off-putting.

[grand gorge]

highst phy dps i can afford, just need 5 more transmutation

[hybrid hedge]

any recommended runes to put there? flat ele dmg or AS soul core?

[shrewd rose]

which of these would you recommend to buy

my current weapon is deffo worse xd

[thin basin]

i did mine with like 3 flat lightning runes, dont know whats best option

[long wraith]

Hey guys is there any Invokers that beat Cruel can take a look at my build in vc real quick? Need some adjustments and tips! Would be greatly appreciated. 🙂

[mighty yew]

new to poe .... been following others builds online , but have come to a position where my health has been capped halfway and i have no clue on how to resolve it xD
might be me being stupid and have equiped something , but for the life of me can i find what it is .
any help would be highly appreciated !

[thin basin]

infernalist have nodes where you reserve life

[grand gorge]

thoughts? @thin basin

[mighty yew]

Hmm I've been following another's build and they haven't got the same issue ?

[drowsy tinsel]

At what point do you start getting level 3 support gems to add a fourth passive? Just started cruel act 1

[thin basin]

you have this allocated?

[slow gate]

got a banger and now I'm wondering where I can use this

[eager ravine]

Nice, nothing is connected to this node, lol

[thin basin]

i recommend you to go rerun some zones for levels and an exalt will drop eventually

[mighty yew]

Ah , yes indeed I do ...

[grand gorge]

kk

[thin basin]

you can hide the reservation effect in settings

[mighty yew]

So what exactly does this mean "reserve" ... am I essentially losing half my hp as shown ?

[frail sedge]

What bonuses does Ingenuity belt buff from rings exactly?

[mighty yew]

Sorry for the novice questions lol

[eager ravine]

You basically lose life, but not max life

[mystic shard]

at end game, how much armour do u need for 90%?

[thin basin]

you "sacrifice" your life to gain additional effect

[thin basin]

all of them

maybe not "non scalable values" from unique

[frail sedge]

Whoaaa isnt that hyper broken??

[mighty yew]

Ok, gotcha .
Thanks alot for the knowledge guys , very much appreciated!

[thin basin]

yes

[fringe cape]

Does anyone know how to tell what the DPS of SRS are? I can't find it anywhere

[void barn]

Does elemental conversion happen in the same manner as poe1, being that having multiple conversions always occured in the same order?

[frail sedge]

Can you get more than 1 charm slot on it tho?

[distant canopy]

you think this would make a good above-the-ass tattoo?

[thin basin]

dont think so, all unique belts currently have this issue

[thin basin]

in the details tab is there a minion section?

[fringe cape]

This is all it shows

[digital spade]

guys does this rly work?

[trail ibex]

question right for any monk mains, i need 70 spirit minimum, with the invoker ascendancys top perks, can i get my spirit that high or the only way is to roll armor with +spirit?

[thin basin]

anything else at the bottom? really not sure how people are calcing srs dps

[fringe cape]

nope...

[thin basin]

the projectile needs to kill a shock enemy but should be yes

[gilded nova]

Which boss drops the Furtive Wraps?

[fossil bolt]

anyone have tips for leveling ice strike invoker?

my dps seems to be shite

[thin basin]

well it does decent damage but it does fall off later i think hence people arent using it as primary dps, are you trying to make a build around it?

i think ziz had a video about cold monk levleing

[tiny sapphire]

How does this glove works ..the heal energy shield is based of the current percentage of your health bar and it not max health ?

[thin basin]

since it doesnt specify max life i assume current life

[fiery briar]

any way to inflict ailments on myself?

[solid quest]

whats the price on this?

[upbeat crow]

guys is my skill tree bad, i am getting poped in act 3 and i am some how losing hp before ES

[thin basin]

looks fine but you have like 0 defense nodes besides that mana one

are you using that unique helmet

grab es nodes if you want to live longer

[upbeat crow]

yea

[static plinth]

We only have Impossible Escape and Thread of Hope right, we dont have Intuitive Leap yet?

[upbeat crow]

but how am i losing hp before life tho

[thin basin]

3rd line

[static plinth]

Did you read it

Damage taken bypasses energy shield

[upbeat crow]

ohhh

[small anvil]

any builds that prefer str/dex hybrid gear? i feel like no one wants this base

[mystic shard]

Saffels frame, says maximum block, does it jus tmean + block chance.

|
Otherwise I cant find any maximum block stuff

[thin basin]

theres uniques that give you maximum block

the anvil amulet iirc

[grizzled peak]

is there a reliable way to break armor as a warrior? I want to use scavenger plates with enduring breaks but I dont want to do it if my only method is using this weak skill Armour Breaker

[fiery briar]

any way to inflict ailments on myself?

[eager forum]

Why cant i assign a skill to a skill bind key once i set it only to be used on weapon 1, in my case Snipe for ranger... any idea?
