[sudden axle]

7% chilled.

didnt explode

[thin basin]

thats not chill thats freeze buildup

[sudden axle]

oh ._.

how am I getting freeze build up before chill lol

so I guess this isnt adding enough cold?

wonder how to actually make the build work then

must need cold on bow as well?

[thin basin]

try herald of ice with cold infuse support and herald of thunder with ice infuse

[onyx beacon]

10-4 ❤️

[sudden axle]

herald of thunder with ice infuse I could see helping but making herald of ice do more cold wont help if its never procing yet

[limpid plover]

Does anyone know how the "elemental equilibrium" node actually works? I'm not 100% sure how exposure works

[sudden axle]

cold infustion in lightning arrow def makes it work but I lose like 5,000DPS lol

[thin basin]

i said herald thunder with ice infuse and herald ice with thunder infuse, its to chain off of each other

[dark bolt]

do you have Freeze buildup on the tree?

[sudden axle]

I dont want to freeze anything

I want to chill

otherwise my ring is useless

[dark bolt]

nvm then

Anyone cooking up a Monk Chaos bow build? I was hoping the Unarmed skills would work with bow/quiver but you need a staff for that

[thin basin]

can u try the herald setup, hopefully it should do enough cold from thunder herald to proc the chills

[sudden axle]

trying it now, its working about half as often as when I added it to lightning arrow, but at least not taking down LA's dps,

I just added cold infustion to herald of lightning, I dont want to add lightnign infustion to herald of cold, I use that gem in my lightning arrow and I dont really need herald of ice to proc herald of thunder because herald of thunder is already procing infinitly

[cyan plover]

why does it say increased rarity twice, is this possible?

[thin basin]

y theres a suffix and prefix roll

[sudden axle]

wonder if cold infusting lightning rod will work better than herald of thunder

going to give that a try

[limpid plover]

Yeah sometimes you'll see items with like 8 stat lines but it's just 6 with some overlapping effects or you can double up if an item type has a prefix that matches a rollable suffix

[peak slate]

whats the used iteam to influence the towers in endgame ?

[hybrid charm]

is there a build guide for Ranger , using Radiant Grief Lace Hood + Gas Arrow ?

[gloomy compass]

Does using this with CI instakill you?

And what if you have "gain 2% life on kill" elsewhere, does that negate it if so?

[thin basin]

think it should be fine? 2% of 1 is not 1

but ggg does scale up on some stuff

[rugged kraken]

Optimal sockets for crit bonestorm? Im using cast speed scattershot (For faster spears) and brutality what about Super critical? Heft? Ricochet? Fork?? Want some suggestions if possible

[rancid vault]

how does the trading website work? do i just message the seller and we trade?
and how do i get exalted orbs? what are these even?

[nocturne wharf]

hello could someone give me some advice or tell me whats going on with something on my witch

[thin basin]

you message people thats selling the stuff, they invite you to their party, you go to their location (usually hideout or town if theyre low level), you trade with them the price of the item and accept

prices are currency droppable in the game

[rancid vault]

nice, what does it mean if an item is corrupted?

[thin basin]

you can no longer make changes to it

[hoary ingot]

absolute cinema

[sand cape]

So there's so something thats confusing me or better yet, not understanding correctly. My warrior can duelwield 2 handed weapons but stats required are tripled. So I currently have 190 of strength ( I know, small) and I have a chest piece with 20% Stat requirements reduction. Is the math done by first multiplying the required stat and then apply the -20%? I feel like I'm missing something please help this idiot

[thin basin]

those req reduction only applies to the piece its on

you can tell by the number it should be blue on the chest

[sand cape]

Ahh that makes sense now lmao

Is there any item that reduces stats overall for weapons that don't have it or nah?

[thin basin]

weapon can also roll it

[sand cape]

So I'm trying to do something really hard to achieve xD I'm trying to equip chober unique with any other 2 hand mace

But that beast needs 300 intelligence

[thin basin]

also this https://poe2db.tw/us/The_Vertex

but im pretty sure giants blood overrides it? is what ive heard

[sand cape]

Overides the tribal mask you mean?

[thin basin]

yes

[sand cape]

Damn

[quaint python]

how do i get grim to restore more es?

[thin basin]

level it up

[quaint python]

doesnt seem to scale to what people are saying it restores simply by levelling it

has to be an interaction im unaware of

[lucid wren]

chain chance doesnt interact with spark at all right?

[thin basin]

i mean how much are they getting

[keen marlin]

yo morning people

my wep inventory 1 and 2 have different stats, any idea why?

[thorn abyss]

is poison deadeye spiral volley a bad idea or should i just go pathfinder poison

[keen marlin]

like my str and ex is not the same

[quaint python]

some people say theyre restoring full es in seconds

[haughty wadi]

doesn't the cooldown on bursting plague make it very bad for aoe clear

why is it considered strong

[thin basin]

are you allocating different nodes on the tree with weapon set?

[keen marlin]

no they both the same

[thin basin]

send screenshot of the tree

[mystic shard]

dmg taken recouped as mana, counts dmg to energy shield right?

[wintry knoll]

what are some good options to use as a secondary weapon on monk?

[thin basin]

i mean if theres a lot of mobs theyre killing yea i guess?

[thin basin]

whats the weap?

[thin basin]

well... one give you 18 strength

[tidal copper]

[keen marlin]

oh lol

[thin basin]

when you swap, you lose it

[thin basin]

are you doing a qstaff build?

[tawdry storm]

On maxrolls poe2 planner what are the red, green, and yellow numbers on the skill tree planner supposed to mean?
https://i.imgur.com/jmYn6jM.png

[thin basin]

red - weapon set 1, green - weapon set 2, yellow - ascendancy

[tawdry storm]

Ah thank you so much

[fast idol]

Why when I attack with this weapon is there no electrocution build up happening?

it says it causes build up...

[thin basin]

you dont see this icon when hitting stuff?

[fast idol]

not at all

it never shows up

[tidal copper]

What skill you using

[fast idol]

just mace strike

[thin basin]

sounds like a bug

look like a 🐛

probably is one

[fast idol]

got dammit...

[thorn abyss]

deadeye spiral volley poison or pathfinder poison something

[fast idol]

i wanted to do a shock warrior thing with this

[tidal copper]

I'm using spiral volley and it's not worth it
But if you are deadeye and stack 50 frenzies it's ok
Poison volley? I wouldn't
Pathfinder poison just works

[celest oxide]

Are there any Witch builds that don't use minions that are competitive with the stormweavers/deadeyes of the world?

[pearl sluice]

yo

any way to reduce minion reservation costs?

[thin basin]

ive heard bloodmages 1 shotting bosses with DD

[pearl sluice]

yeah, DD will get the nerf hammer for sure, its not looking good

[tiny bison]

Hexblast bloodmage

[thin basin]

theres a notable top left of the tree

[celest oxide]

Interesting, I'll look into it, thank you

[thin basin]

also if you level the gems itll get reduce

[celest oxide]

Is Demon Form good at all?

Wait is the Hellhound good?

Demon lady with a Hellhound would be fun flavour

[tiny bison]

I've seen a lot of builds running it successfully just gotta build enough life regen to survive the damage

[thin basin]

its pretty weak unless youre a minion build

[pearl sluice]

ahh yeah, not worth it for me, im running 2 skeles + sacrifice aura, but its 100 spirit currently

[tidal copper]

https://youtu.be/evMPZE2I6no?si=qjCX-PcobSv-DotL
Dd nerf? Nah no way

[pearl sluice]

yea

[haughty wadi]

hammer of the gods will get the nerf hammer first

[thin basin]

not moved by hotg

havent seen it kill a boss in 1s

[tidal copper]

Someone doesn't watch Connor streams

[thin basin]

even if it works ur playing warrior

[tidal copper]

Yeah if they nerf it I will count it as abuse

[limpid plover]

Just thought about this. you try using frost nexus to inflict chilled ground on freeze to get your chill procs?

[nimble hound]

Why can't I use lesser jewelers orb on Poison Concoction

[plain monolith]

Question. Does Mahuxotl's shield give all socketed soul cores the benefit or only the ones in the shield?

[thin basin]

only the ones on the shield

but can you imagine

[plain monolith]

I was imagining, you just ruined it haha.

[celest oxide]

you get more slots as you level instead

[river snow]

looking to buy mahuxotl shield for rarity farming, around how much % would 1 div be worth it? is 500% good enough?

[celest oxide]

it works like a basic attack

[vivid ferry]

does anyone know why dual wielding is giving me a LOWER dps tool tip for Hammer of the Gods?

[thin basin]

its .7* multipler when using both, is ur 2nd weap good?

[vivid ferry]

It does say 30% less dmg, but even with that the math isn't mathing

[vivid ferry]

maybe im not mathing right. if the second wep is significantly worse...maybe?

[nimble hound]

what are the break points?

like wat what lvls

[vivid ferry]

does this mean, my second weapon is significantly worse than my first? like 60% worse?

I think if it was anything less than 60%, it should be a dps increase on the tool tip

[thin basin]

which one are you using when just 1h'ing?

[vivid ferry]

left one

[celest oxide]

You get your 5th at level 90 I know but can’t remember the others

4th at 65 or 70 I think?

[vivid ferry]

my guess is the 2nd wep is really is that much worse
1H, right weapon

1H, left weapon

6+ levels to melee skills diff

[thin basin]

569
(569 + 477) * .7 = 732

[celest oxide]

Infernalist is the wave

[thin basin]

+6 and almost 100 higher base carrying

[celest oxide]

don't need to spend divines on weapons when you can't use weapons

[vivid ferry]

yeah that'll be it, thanks

[thin basin]

no but equiping both of them should still be a bit of dps increase

wonder why its lower tho

[vivid ferry]

where did you get 569 and 477 from

oh you avg it

[thin basin]

min roll + max / 2

[vivid ferry]

whats also kinda interesting is the poe trade website's physical dps isn't accurate either

[thin basin]

i didnt include attack speed

trade site accounts for avg * attspeed with quality if its not quality

not including sockets if its not on there

[vivid ferry]

both weapons have a physical dps of 620-ish. I was relying on this quite a bit when looking at items. But seeing how much of a difference it is on tool tip dps makes me wonder

all an estimate i guess without pob

[thin basin]

569 * 1.1 = 626
477 * 1.31 = 624

[vivid ferry]

oh interesting

didn't know that

so atk speed, levels to gem isn't accounted for

[thin basin]

hotg just hit once so i dont think attspeed matter much?

[velvet blade]

Can you use a jeweler's orb on skills granted by items to increase their sockets?

[thin basin]

not sure how it calc attspeed into play

[vivid ferry]

still, knowing its this helps.
also knowing level to gems isn't included will help

[thin basin]

i think ud rather sort by red rather than blue for maces

[vivid ferry]

whys that?

[thin basin]

red sort by avg weapon "damage" while blue sort by dps which accounts for attackspeed

[cunning saffron]

How much elemental res do i need in endgame to have the Max 75%?

[nocturne ivy]

Does anyone have a demon form witch build ?

I played only minion witch build for now

Wanted to try demon form but didnt find any build on any site

[vivid ferry]

ah gotcha

[woeful topaz]

Can anyone help me with spark on skill tree ? I need more dmg

[sour pendant]

question, im rn in act1 cruel following 2 guides for invoker monk, both ice strike but one uses charged staff with herald of thunder, and the other doesnt. If i dump charged staff and instead focus more on buffing the effectiveness of ice strike, would i get better results?

[velvet blade]

How does "Ailments deal damage x% faster" interact with poison?

[fiery wave]

my god 3 maps 3 wanderlust

[low totem]

where can i find a good titan build ?

[glacial crown]

Maybe too broad a question but what is the main use case for going Chronomancer over stormweaver rn? Given that spark/archmage seems to work so well on weaver I mean

[frosty arrow]

I wonder how do flames of chayula interact with DOTs. Damage bonus they provide applies to dots as they tick, or I'd have to recast it? I'm kinda goofing around with the idea of a chaos caster monk right now, and this ascendancy is so confusing

[static plinth]

Basically, less duration more damage

[static plinth]

They dont apply at all

Which sucks

[velvet blade]

So what about the gas arrow ability that applies a consistent poison based on your potential hit damage. Would "faster damage" just be more damage in this case?

[frosty arrow]

wdym? I see numbers go up in stats

I mean, main thing it'll have to work with is hexblast

[thin basin]

chances are the dot snapshot whatever flame you had at the time you cast

[frosty arrow]

huh, actually doesn't apply to DOTS. I was looking at essence drain, which has a bit of an initial hit damate

so it won't boost dots at all, only hits. Which means hexblast should work

[midnight geode]

guys im trying to make a snipe/plasma blast build on my deadeye and smth weird is going on... When I swap to my crossbow abilities my character gets stuck in this animation. Only way to unstuck it is to roll, or swap weapons with X to not get stuck at all. Is this a bug?

[static plinth]

Yeah, thats what makes faster so good

[static plinth]

Yeah, Hexblast works

Should be a strong build

[frosty arrow]

I'm thinking if corpsewade would be a cool addition

[trail nest]

Hey guys

I wanna do an attack speed calc on a skill

[static plinth]

Corpsewade is just a beast that makes mapping a snoozefest

[sacred mica]

is there like nothing that converts to fire damage?

[frosty arrow]

I have a pair, but it's scaled to like lvl66. Might get a pair I could wear now, see how that is

[static plinth]

Avatar of Fire keystone

[trail nest]

someone can give me the math on 29% skill speed and 30% attack speed and 25% more attack speed pls

[static plinth]

75% of all damage but deletes all non-fire damage

[high jetty]

anyone got any recommendations on an item for a cold monk level 68 that gives good mana on kill?

[high jetty]

i have gloves that give 11 mana on kill but its just not enough for my mana problems due to ice strike

[trail nest]

yk there mana on kill, mana on hit, mana leech from runes and mana regen

so why would you want a slow resource gen like on kill?

[high jetty]

thats true but i have mana regen in my build idk how im always having to spam flask

[trail nest]

first add the mind rune to ur wep

idk if theres mana from dmg on the tree yet ik theres on poe1 tree

if I remember correctly the mind rune reads 3% of dmg leeched as mana

currently im tryna do the math on rolling slam if I have 29% skill speed it will read 1.775 attack time but then what do I do with fe 30% inc attack speed and then 25% more speed from support gem

on inc and more do I multiply? deduct or what?

coz I was working really hard on getting my tree to the skill speed from I think its merc?

[static plinth]

Inc is additive with inc

More is multiplicative with Inc and More

[trail nest]

yes ik that

so the math should be simple

however

rolling slams initial attack speed is 2.5

rn ive got it down to 1.96

[static plinth]

Oh does it have a cancer "+ to attack time" stat

[trail nest]

it reads +1.5 to attack time

seconds

[static plinth]

Thats after all multipliers

[trail nest]

yes so skills speed attack speed inc and more attack speed gets deducted and devided etc but -.-

yes they are speed multipliers however the initial speed is additive ofc and huge making it slow

I wanna make rolling slam go so fast it looks like a pacman -.-

look

is this wrong?

it has to be wrong, but where am I making the mistake?

[atomic halo]

1 * (1 + 0.29 + 0.30) * 1.25

[trail nest]

and if the base speed is 2.5?

[atomic halo]

2.5 * ...

if by 2.5 you mean 2.5 attacks per second

rolling slam is 100% of attack speed right

[trail nest]

skill happens once every 2.5 seconds -.-

yes it is

[atomic halo]

so how do you get "skill happens once every 2.5 seconds"

[trail nest]

but theres 1.5 seconds added to attack time

[atomic halo]

wheres the 1 from

[trail nest]

base I would guess

[atomic halo]

(aps of weapon * 1 * (1 + 0.29 + 0.30) * 1.25 ) + 1.5

[trail nest]

like if left alone speed is 2.5 seconds

[atomic halo]

remember that the base attack speed depends on your weapon

the 1 is only true if your weapon happens to have exactly 1 aps

[trail nest]

ye about that adding a second weapon does not affect attack speed

[atomic halo]

ik

wait

isnt it the average of both

[trail nest]

nop

[atomic halo]

and you can't add the 1 + 1.5 because the 1.5 is not modified by modifiers to attack speed while the 1 (or whatever it may be) is

[trail nest]

remains the same I checked on tt

[atomic halo]

so if you get a high aps mainhand, it doesnt matter what the offhand aps is?

[trail nest]

apparently so yes

also doesnt affect dps of skill actually dual wielding makes it lower

[atomic halo]

thats just the display

you still deal more damage

and when did dual wielding even come into the discussion

[trail nest]

so the utter lowest it can go is 1.5 aps?

[atomic halo]

yeah

[trail nest]

ooof

[atomic halo]

yeah

tooltip: "This additional use time is fixed and will not be modified by skill use speed stats."

[tulip fog]

some advice please, would it be worth going warbringer for a bow + bleed build for the armor break on hit and break armor below 0, which gives More physical damage multiplier? even though i only use half of the ascendancy points given? or can i get a similar more damage multiplier from another ascendancy that also grants additional benefits?

[atomic halo]

even though i only use half of the ascendancy points given?
you need to fix that.

[trail nest]

but I havent added all skill speed mods and already its 1.96 on the tt

[tulip fog]

well there is no other warbringer ascendancy nodes that gives any benefit for a bow + bleed build

jade heritage? mayybee, but thats about it

[atomic halo]

imo it's dead in the water if you cant get 4 usable notables

[tulip fog]

the other ones are for totems, shields or warcries

im basically ONLY picking warbringer for the break armor on hit and break armor below 0

so that i get a MORE phys dmg multiplier for the bleeds

[static plinth]

@still rock Hey warbringer bow guy

[woeful topaz]

which one should i buy ?

[atomic halo]

you're effectively using 4 notables for one effect

[woeful topaz]

for spark

[static plinth]

You could use ballistas and the totem nodes

[tulip fog]

i dont need ballistas

[atomic halo]

i dont think negative armour is worth 4 ascendancy nodes

[tulip fog]

im planning on using spiral volley for clear and snipe for bosses

[atomic halo]

if you give your current stats and the tooltip number we can check if the math checks out

how much aps does your wep have

[trail nest]

LET ME LOG IN

oof caps -.-

[wet mango]

1.5 second attack time, not aps

[trail nest]

true that -.-

[atomic halo]

so 0.67 aps

[wet mango]

You are mixing up aps and attack time, they are reciprocals of each other

Attacksped/skills speed work on aps, not attack time

[trail nest]

but +1.5 is unmodifyable?

[wet mango]

Read the tooltip

(yes)

It literally tells you

[open brook]

For monks, what rune would best be used for gloves?

[trail nest]

btw that bleed bow guy he can use rage and enraged warcry to rly boost his bleed

[trail nest]

anyways here it is, so but ig i will end up around 1.76 aps in total

[atomic halo]

1/(1.4 * 1 * (1 + 0.29 + 0.30) * 1.25 ) + 1.5 = 1.85 attack time

pretty close

why do you even need to do this though

[frosty arrow]

first time I'm experiencing serious lag in this game, and it's from contagion spreading shit to like 50 enemies at once lol. Would've never though. Those tiny beetles in lost city

[atomic halo]

more attack speed = better

[trail nest]

yes but then add 3x totems doingtheir slam thing too

anyways why I wanna do it is because I wanna zip accross maps rollong -.-

*rolling

thinking it would look omega cool

but will use the fastest mace in poe2 I can find with highest dmg ofc

fastest base speed on a mace is 1.55 before any modifications

[frosty arrow]

Do people generally take eternal youth with CI? So there's no passive shield recharge

[static plinth]

No

Having only flasks and grim feast sucks dick

[atomic halo]

why would you want to do that

[static plinth]

Unless youre self-interrupting recharge there's no reason

[frosty arrow]

I'm kinda debating if I want to go the CI route or the eldritch battery for my chaos casting monk

Flames of chayula would benefit eldritch battery since it's constant mana pickups everywhere, and health

[cursive quartz]

Any big brain poe nerds over here ? How much cold dmg do I need on my deadeye to be able to use herald of Ice ? i am lvl 75 and I can't proc the explosion I think the thunder ones procs but not the ice one , when i look on youtube at other people they don;t do anything special and it still procs ...

[frosty arrow]

Plus that passive in the ascend that can give you 80% chaos resist would be wasted with CI

[loud trench]

Any monks in here having issues keeping charges

Advise would be appreciated

[rugged kraken]

Are you trying to keep power charges?

[wary wave]

What does "as extra damage" mean, does that mean that whatever damage I deal I get 10% of it as extra lightning ?

[atomic halo]

yeah

[rugged kraken]

You can use the aura that gives frenzy charges on Shock/freeze/ignite and get the node that converts them to powerr chargers and yiou can like constantly have power charges up

[wary wave]

so if I do 100k damage (with all damage types calculated) I get 10k extra lightning damage ?

[atomic halo]

yes

[wary wave]

that sounds broken

ty

<3

[atomic halo]

ascendancy nodes are very powerful

[loud trench]

@rugged kraken Yes so combat frenzy

@rugged kraken I have frenzy & the nod what ability should give charges

[rugged kraken]

I assume your a lightning monk do lightning shock things?

I assume your doing the lightsaber move that throws out the waves that do lightning damage and flickering around with powr charges no?

[copper idol]

Anyone have a suggestion for a straight-forward spell a Sorc could use to reliably freeze groups?

[rugged kraken]

the frostbolt slow moving one you can give it scatter and cast 3 orbs at a time and it slows pretty good and builds up alot of cold

[copper idol]

I'll give it a shot, ty

[rugged kraken]

give it glaciation if your not using it for dmg and just utility

the extra frost build up helps I assume your trying to explode them with shatter

[copper idol]

Yea

[jovial patio]

Hi everyone, i am playing monk. I am currently at level 85 and i am not doing enough damage. I am following multiple build but i am not having the dps on skill nearly as much as other in the yt videos. What am i doing wrong? I have a staff that does 193-323 physical damage, but the dps for martial tempo is still 8k, but i have seen people having it as 30k+. Can someone help

[rugged kraken]

Which acendancy whats your skill tree look like and provide a screenshot of your weapon

[wary wave]

So I'm trying to do a 5head clear thing, by combining heralds.. I want to somehow make sure that the both proc

[rugged kraken]

You have a largely complicated problem that could have a number of issues leading up to your problem so it will be hard to give a quick answer

[dull lintel]

For a build that's mana hungry, what exact two stat lines am I looking for on a mana flask?

[sudden axle]

can anyone explain why Ice Bite will not proc on Freezing Salvo? Says gives a ice elemental dmg boost for 3 seconds when that skill freezes something, well freezing salvo...def freezes, but I never gain the buff, what gives

[uneven yacht]

there a place or link where i can see each monster's stats? (stun % ailment thresholds, , health etc)

[proud horizon]

I have a 35 spirit on amulet and 35 on chest armor and the 30 from the campaign but it only shows that i have 41 spirit can someone explain?

[atomic halo]

poe2db maybe

otherwise nope

[uneven yacht]

right thanks

[jovial patio]

My main question is how to get the dps to 20 or 30k?

[rugged kraken]

It should be procing ON Freeze I think and it should be showing a little icon at the bottom left of your box

[mild basin]

Mana regen or Elemen treshold (act 3 quest reward) for Spark Sorc?

[rugged kraken]

I dont think anyone answered because it could be a matter of opinion. I prioritize charges per second over everything with flasks encase I ahve a longer fight but for burst clearing I would assume amount and extra charges?

[rugged kraken]

Might be a visual bug? Unequip your items and see if it changes if not log out and back in and see if that fixes your issue

[loud trench]

Doesn't create charges? Are u a monk?

Which move procs charges?

[still rock]

#1322307314828447886

Not really leaning into bleeds but it can

Bleeds are kinda eh

[rugged kraken]

this is the spirit aura I was reffering too and electrocuting something will give you charges right

[dull lintel]

Is the highest roll for charges per second 0.15?

[rugged kraken]

and you will probly have to consume your shock effects ect to get extra charges in between every now and then and use the support gem that sometimes does not consume charges

[rugged kraken]

I think thats the highest ive seen? Pathfinder might ahve tech or a node on the tree might increase this

[jovial patio]

@rugged kraken

[rugged kraken]

I was hoping a pro could sort through that quickly and help that is the info they would need from you to help your situation

[strange ivy]

for explosive shot deadeye you need 3 dragons helmet, any special rune i should socket in the helmet ?

[tulip fog]

okay, did you test with aggravated bleeding? or just normal bleeding?

[rugged kraken]

Bleeds can be scaled pretty dang high if you no what your doing

[hasty prism]

what methods exist to generate endurance charges, without resonance?
I saw the Break Endurance support and the Cranial Impact notable, but is there anything else?

[tender needle]

~7div: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3Pv5Y19ASs
~30div: https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/profile/8e9c9861-7fff-4266-b583-9be41ee52581/builds/95a8b1f1-ec76-4622-bd48-20eb2cc322c7

Both one shot all content in the game, the second just gets much tankier while doing so. Im currently running the first one, mapping t17/18 is fairly comfortable but not amazing, bossing is one shot on everything

[still rock]

just normal, I didnt feel the need to test for aggravated since Snipe just deletes t16 bosses anyways

would be useful for pinnacle tho

[tulip fog]

okay, ive seen one guy on youtube do a similar setup as what im thinking of but he uses witchhunter instead and has aggravated bleed in his build (about 50% chance to trigger it per hit)

[sudden axle]

@rugged kraken oh weird the lightning version has a big ass orb orbit around you while its active, this one has no animation at all from what it looks like but ya the buff icon pops up

[tender needle]

nice ur build is cool. Ive been running an elemental frenzy deadeye for mapping lately. Insane for breaches but bosses are horrible without access to snipe. Rolled a new character purely for bossing and continue mapping on frenzy spiral volley

[pearl sluice]

I have 30 mov speed boots, why is my mov speed only 26% on character screen? Is it possibly because 200 armour from equipment? Seems harsh for that low armour

[rugged kraken]

Im glad its working at least

[still rock]

Snipe is necessary for bosses or thicc rares tbh

spiral volley only kills rares via chain or armour explosion

[sacred warren]

is "extra damage as X" applied after all your other damage buffs, like %lightning damage?

[tender needle]

elemental mostly handles them fine. Herald of ice + thunder is a lot of damage explosions in rituals/breaches

Bosses completely impossible though

[still rock]

before conversion and before multipliers

[still rock]

Makes sense

[sacred warren]

so does that mean 10% lightning damage is equal to 10% extra damage as lightning?

[still rock]

Not really

[sacred warren]

how so if it's applied before multipliers?

[flint juniper]

hi question, how should i think when it comes to weapon and dps increase? Currently am using the staff in the picture, if im gonna pick a new staff is it the min - max Physical damage that sets the dps? (invoker Munk)

[still rock]

because % increased lightning doesnt do anything if you dont have lightning damage whereas gain x% extra as lightning is a function of the sum hit regardless of the source type

[sacred warren]

i'm talking about if both are lightning damage

[pallid knoll]

Any aftershocks expert here? It seems my aftershocks from other sources only proc when tremors procs. So I proc more aftershocks more frequently without tremors.

not sure if it's bugged or I'm missing something

[sacred warren]

take this example: base damage is 1000 lightning damage, you already have 100% lightning damage

you can add 10% lightning damage OR 10% extra damage as lightning, both come out to the same damage

• 1000 * (110%) (lightning damage) = 2100 dmg
• 1000 * (100% + 10%) (extra damage as lightning) = 2100 dmg

[still rock]

its still slightly different because its not added together with other increased multipliers, its like a diet "more" multipliers

[still rock]

yes in this arbitrary scenario it comes out to the same number

but generally you have lots of sources of increased multipliers

not just one

[sacred warren]

such as?

[still rock]

bruh

[sacred warren]

there's spell damage, crit damage, crit chance, lightning damage

spell damage and lightning damage are added together

crit affects both lightning damage and as extra lighthing the same

[still rock]

[(hit damage)(gain extra)](sum of increased modifiers)(product of more multipliers)

does that make more sense

[sacred warren]

so it's multiplicative, not addative?

[still rock]

multiplicative for the source hit dmg but not multiplicative after the increased modifiers like how "more" functions

just to clarify

[sacred warren]

1000 base damage, 10% spell damage (A), 10% lightning damage (B), 10% extra damage as lightning (C)

is it:

• 1000 * (A+B) * C = 1320
• 1000 * (A+B+C) = 1300

[still rock]

i find it easier to write it as (1000*C)(A+B) since adding more mutlipliers later makes it easier

[sacred warren]

so then it's multiplicative...

order doesn't matter

[still rock]

but the first one should equal the same value in this scenario

[sacred warren]

not really because the correct equation should have been:

1000 * (110%) (lightning damage) = 2100 dmg
1000 * (100%) * (10%) (extra damage as lightning) = 2200 dmg

it's a difference of 100 dmg cuz it's multiplicative

[thorny token]

as extra is addivine wih other extra, similar as increased damage but with more limited sources

[still rock]

its just a separate function from the other mutlipliers because it affects the source dmg before conversion

but yeah theyre added when theres multiple sources rather than multiplied together like "more"

[sacred warren]

this is the important part because it means 30% extra damage as lightning is waaaay more important than probably even 100% lightning damage because you're already getting hundreds if not over 1000% lightning/spell damage from archmage and other sources

[thorny token]

thats right. but still the important distinction between multiplicative sources and additive is if they are multiplicative or additive with eachother

[sacred warren]

yeah which goes back to my original question on if it's applied after other damage sources like % lightning damge, the answer is yes because it's multiplicative (meaning it doesn't matter if it's "before" or "after")

[hushed umbra]

Gemling or warrior for totems?

[still rock]

it matters when theres conversion

because it happens before conversion

[wary wave]

Hey, so I found the Widowhail bow and I want to use it with a new character, what build should I go for ? (I already have a pathfinder that's almost done with the campaign)

Any recommendations ?

[still rock]

Enjoy poison conc b4 it gets the hammer

[wary wave]

aight, I'll look it up ty

oh shit it's a deadeye

guess I'll have to make a new character

[still rock]

It has to be Pathfinder to get the concoction lol

[wary wave]

yeah

[fierce scroll]

Hi, theres like 10000 variante/builds setup for summoners, what is the best for overall stuff?

[proud horizon]

Can someone help me i have a 35 spirit amulet and 35 spirit armor and the 30 from the campaign but it says that i only have 50

[still rock]

run only clerics

[thin basin]

thoughts on these 3 nodes for mapping? starting to feel it whenever the mobs have resist roll on map or the lightning res blue pack

[still rock]

im also beginning to think faridun mobs mod has lightning res too but idk maybe theyre just thicc in general

[thin basin]

map bosses is still fine cuz i curse them but for gen mapping curse isnt an option, only exposure support or pen

[still rock]

no blasphemy?

i think blasphemy really only feels good with aoe anyways

feels great on my flameblast titan cause so much area

[quaint prism]

people running rapidfire merc, do you bother having fire damage on your gloves?

[still rock]

but not so great on other toons

[north stump]

Do the electrocute buildups from the Kitoko's Current gloves and the Electrocute support gem stack?

[drifting zinc]

I need some help. I really like the concept of acolyte of chayula monk and I really like DoT's, so I wanted to do a hexblast DoT build for that class. The problem is, most people are running hexblast with infernalist. Im not sure if the infernalist hexblast is DoT focused but would it be more effective to focus on Acolyte or Infernalist for hexblast dot build?

I just dont wanna hit endgame with acolyte and feel regret cause its not fun

Or i guess people are playing bloodmage with it too

[hallow sky]

hey guys, do monk need armor ??? invoker monk ?

I see people stacking only evasion and energy shield

• nothing in passives about armor

[drifting zinc]

I think it is only evasion and energy shield

[frosty arrow]

no, don't bother

[drifting zinc]

i havent seen anything with armor

[frosty arrow]

you'll never get anything out of it

don't dilute your primary defenses with other bullshit. You'll compromise both

[static plinth]

What was the mace skill that fires double projectiles if dual-wielding?

[frosty arrow]

armor barely even does anything if you stack ungodly amounts of it. Having just a bit will do quite literally nothing

[nocturne ivy]

Seems pretty hard to replicate😭 if I m starting new character should I go by the 7div guide?

[static plinth]

Armour is only good in the presence of % DR, but thats even rarer in 2 than 1

[languid lintel]

is a +5 wand good boost to damage on stormweaver ?

[frosty arrow]

if you manage to get some damage conversions armor isn't completely useless, just mostly useless. But having conversions is hard right now

[static plinth]

Levels are great as long as you can sustain mana

[nocturne ivy]

I guess until I get ascendancy playing the witch will be pain?😬

[vivid scaffold]

so if i have a Weapon Set A that buffs poison damage and throw out a Gas Grenade, then swap to a Weapon Set B that buffs fire damage to throw out an Explosive Grenade (and stay in it till it explodes to benefit from the fire damage conversion), will the increased poison damage from Weapon Set A still be active during the explosion for a bigger conversion? I.e. will I benefit from both / will it 'snapshot' the bonus poison dmg from first shooting the gas grenade even after swapping to another weapon set?

[languid lintel]

true, but rt now my damage is stuck at a point.

[gilded nova]

Hello!
After completely bricking my Deadeye on level 90, I lost the willpower to continue fixing it and playing it.
Decided to go for Monk now...can anyone suggest a good build that I can follow from the very start until end game?
I was watching some YT Videos and I really love the idea of teleporting through the maps with a certain ability, but not sure which one.
Can anyone please suggest me a good build for that?

[tender needle]

new character u need to have at least some currency saved up to get some life regen gear, probably about 2-3 divs and you can set it up. And yes go by the 7-div one. The other one is reliant on a bunch of 2% max fire res jewels that get very expensive.

Ive been one shotting t18 bosses with only first 2 points cause ive been too lazy to get the rest of them

[nocturne ivy]

Wdym divs?😭 sorry I m new

[tender needle]

ah, divines. Each is about 80-100exalts right now. Currency used on trade

[nocturne ivy]

80-100 😭 u kidding? Wtff

[tender needle]

if you are new maybe avoid demon form builds, they are pretty complicated and need fairly specific gear. You'll probably have a better time running a build that is more reasonable to understand/setup

[thin basin]

"you will run the map again and you will like it!" -game

[tender needle]

the infinite stacking demon builds all have some weird/unintuitive interactions that will be annoying to try and understand if ur new

[nocturne ivy]

Okk

I m currently running raging spirit

Minion build

Its not one shot

But deals pretty good consistant dmg

Chimera for me was just easiest boss even though i saw people struggle on it, just run and cast fire wall

[tender needle]

yeah just keep running that until you can comfortably clear t15s. Minion builds are pretty good too. You can still go demon build in the future once you have some currency saved up and want a change

[nocturne ivy]

Currently on act 3 normal so long way to end game still lol

[rugged cape]

Yo guys, is it possible to scale ignite? or is it pure dogshit 😦

Maybe shock ignite/cold ignite, dunno, thinking of something ignite

[tender needle]

yeah just keep playing around minions I'd say. Kripparian and raxx both have good minion guides on youtube if u wanna see what other people are doing, or just keep setting up your own build, that can lead to some really fun results too

[nocturne ivy]

I Will send build i m going brb

[soft latch]

Why do people often run on Monk the EV/ES armor when they have aPmfH and Spectral Ward? Isnt the Pure Evasion better? Does slightly higher ES is that much better at the cost of evasion/DR/spirit ?

[tender needle]

I dont know minion builds so I wont be able to help sry

[plush timber]

I'm also interested in making it work, hammer of the gods does it decently, but I hate the mace clear skills like stampede

[mortal cloak]

Trying to plan my Grenadier, where should I put these last 4 points ?

[rugged cape]

I kinda wanna try stormweaver with ignite scaling, not sure

[plush timber]

I'm thinking of trying to see if snipe might work as a vehicle for it with avatar of fire

[static plinth]

Whats the range like on Molten Burst?

[thin basin]

i say get to level 97 first before worrying about your last 4 points 🙂

[upbeat igloo]

Wouldn’t heft work with herald of thunder as herald will convert more physically damage?

[plush timber]

whatever you use to start the ignite the basic principle is that it has to hit hard - hammer of the gods, comet, snipe, plasma burst, something that has a big initial hit, otherwise it a) won't ignite reliably, and b) ignite damage would not be worth it at all

[nocturne ivy]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/minion-army-infernalist-leveling-guide

Dww, got lucky to get exactly the same unique armor just not the shield. Mby one stat less but plus 100+ spirit still

[tender needle]

Usually plan ur tree around lvl 90. Very few people get significantly further than that

[foggy spruce]

Can flaming skulls trigger the cast on minion death passive?

[mortal cloak]

well critique on more efficient nodes would be nice too lol

[thin basin]

hmm then i'd say check out what other statstacker are taking and compare them to yours

[rugged cape]

Yea it feels like they didn't take care of ignite yet, maybe soon^TM

[tender needle]

kk, can go a bit further then. 97-100 is still most likely not happening. /ladder even the hardcore grinders that are probably doing 18 hours of poe a day got stuck at 97 for like 5 days

If you do go for it thats great, I just wouldnt worry about those points until ur actually there

[mortal cloak]

Ye it's more of like what I could redo to aim for or utilize those last 4 more efficient along with the last ones that are just going to jewels

the bottom left part of here is just all jewels and attribute nodes for instance, idk maybe there's a better path to take for all those pts

I'm doing 14/15 Fire Dmg/Att Dmg jewels with Stun Buildup/Ignite and corrupted resistance if possible

if only the poison was ignite D*=

[plush timber]

agree, potential is there though and I doubt they'll leave it as crap. I do really miss my ignite proliferate build from back in the day in POE 1 tho

[winter cove]

Think I can make a T15 mapping build for deadeye ranger with 3 divines? 😐

[fading galleon]

Whats peoples DPS with flame wall

I'm level 63 and feel it should be higher than 1280 dps

[thin basin]

flamewall as main dps?

[fading galleon]

well using the arsonists, which I guess is my main, current DPS with their fire bombs is 227.48, with scattershot, so 3 bombs.

flame wall helps ignite those bombs? just feel dps should be higher than Im getting rn

[queen mountain]

for a merc grenade guild, what are the best ascendencies? I've seen builds use both the "judge, jury, executioner" and "no mercy" options.

seems the no mercy option is better for bosses. Is that worth it?

[fervent nymph]

are there any pros/cons to corrupting a skill gem? Will I lose a ranks worth of damage because of this -1 level effect?

[thin basin]

yes

pros: +1 socket (if not 5), +1 level, +3% quality
cons: -1 socket (havent seen it myself), -1 level, -quality?

[celest oxide]

Bro Witch levelling is so ass I just wanna be a demon mommy smh

[tidal copper]

So you are the one getting all the good results

[thin basin]

not really, wasted a lot of money trying to 4 socket because the thing wouldnt drop 🙂

[torn jolt]

is this worth 1 divine ?

[restive dirge]

Any advice/suggestions, gentlemen?

[tidal copper]

Sort by exalts to see the other side

[north stump]

Still looking for help with this

[thin basin]

if you have kitoko the gem doesnt do anything

[north stump]

drat

[thin basin]

actually it prevents the gem from shocking which is just a downside gem now...

[cyan plover]

I dont get what the support gem unleash does, can anyone help me?

[empty comet]

ive got -level, -socket but i dont think -quality yet, have also got + of all 3 and seemingly the better the gem is (idk if its more sockets, or level or what) the more ive got the nothing result to the point i use an omen for anything thats not low level

[torn jolt]

max chaos res i found there is 18 for 10 exalts

do i really need chaos res if i have high evasion even ?

[elder mural]

At which level can you start using chance orb to get Cloak of Flame Silk Robe

[north stump]

Let the skill sit uncast for a couple seconds to build up up to two charges. Use the skill to spend all charges and cast it an extra time per charge. Extra casts do reduced damage.

[hallow mantle]

I started playing yesterday and I'm lv 20, I'm a little lost with sorcerer builds, could anyone tell me the best one for leveling? Besides, how should I play? using Focus or shield to survive longer?

[empty comet]

the increase in nothing result may very likely be an RNG thing as well, no way ive dont this enough to be able to determine if its not just correlation vs causality

[thin basin]

yea cons: nothing happens and turn corruptd most common i think

[plucky nacelle]

How does reduced attribute req work? If i have 20% reduction on body armor, does it only work on bodyarmor? Or will it also affect weapons?

[neat bison]

It’s specific to the gear piece

[plucky nacelle]

ah fuck

[neat bison]

Yeah that’s why reduced requirements is popular on 2H weps

For giants blood

[plucky nacelle]

yeah, no way im gonna be able to get 620 str

[neat bison]

It’s also good on bows/crossbows so you don’t need to invest in dex

[plucky nacelle]

rip 850dmg mace

[neat bison]

It might be possible but it def sounds very high and hard to get

[empty comet]

takes 636dmg to 1h the top lvl maces

[radiant flicker]

My witch minion build can’t kill rathbreaker pls advice

[empty comet]

been trying to squeeze the last drops of blood from the stone to get there so i can try out this crumbling maul i got

its already hard enough keeping resists maxed with attributes also being suffixes

[tulip sentinel]

guys which one would have higher dps, +4 cold spell level and gain %25 of damage as extra cold dmg or +5 cold spell level

it doesnt give protection it just freezes and damages melee attackers

[empty comet]

is it 25% extra damage? increased damage? more damage?

[tulip sentinel]

its literally "gain %25 of damage as extra cold damage"

idk what it exactly means by that, thats why i asked which would have more dps

[empty comet]

thats additive then

if it said more it would be multiplicative and definitely better, as far as additive idk id have to look at the numbers

[stark vector]

How do you get 6 link on decompose skill for corpsewalk boots

Is it level 90?

[thin basin]

gain stage over time -> enemy hit you -> they take damage -> 1 stage removed

[neat bison]

Skills on items gain slots from item level, idk what the breakpoint for 6 link would be

[thin basin]

no

[elder mural]

At which level can you start using chance orb to get Cloak of Flame Silk Robe

[stark vector]

Ah so i may need 82+ item level boots...I incorrectly filtered based on skill of decompose

[thin basin]

i dont think we know that information but i would just assume as soon as you can aquire the base item

[celest oxide]

I’m levelling a Witch when do I get to feel strong lol

[tulip sentinel]

does anyone have an answer for this?

[neat bison]

Raging spirits own the campaign so whenever you unlock them

[tulip sentinel]

damn, no one knows ig

gonna take a leap of faith and test it myself

[neat bison]

Yea unfortunately I haven’t rly played a caster yet so idk

[thin basin]

theres a lot more variables to it than +1 vs 25%, but i would assume the +1, only way to know is have both and equip them

[hallow mantle]

Guys, can anyone help me with the sorcerer build, I'm lv 20

[mint citrus]

any way to calculate if ill gain more from cast speed vs skill level?

[tulip sentinel]

skill level ofc

cast speed is a good buff but skill level is above all else

[mint citrus]

okay

[tame goblet]

Between ice strike build with unique cold ring and the build that uses both heralds ( hoi and hot ), assuming other gear is the same, which build is better for clearing?

[mint citrus]

I also can't figure out how to know which focus can roll lightning damage because from my understanding some focuses can only roll specific element dmg increase

Does anyone have an idea?

[thin basin]

p sure focus share all mods

[plucky nacelle]

ok, someone has to explaine the giants blood math to me. weapon reqiores 180 str. it has 15% reduced attribute req, but i cant use it at 502 str??

[mint citrus]

okay I know wands do not, where can I see which mod can roll what? on poe2db is does not specify

[plucky nacelle]

(180*3)*0.85 = 459

[thin basin]

i didnt check all of them

[mint citrus]

oh tyyy

[zealous jetty]

yo guys for monk, i use ice strike for my main dmg ability and its considered an attack. it then triggers my second ability charged staff which is considered a spell. so if i get +% of cast speed. will it affect charged staff in any way? or no since it only happens when i do ice strike and thats only buffed by +attack speed

[lone wave]

I wonder what's more fun for tri element, stacking all 3 cast on ailment skills, or stacking heralds

[thin basin]

is the 180 number blue on the weapon?

if so thats the reduced number

[plucky nacelle]

oh..

[hallow mantle]

Start playing today, sorcerer, I'm lv20 but I'm not sure where to find and use the best build for leveling, can someone who understands the class help me? I have doubts about using a shield to block or focus

which ice monk should i play with 100div budget? tri stacker or sth? legionaire?

[cedar river]

How to get mana sustain with elemental bow vs bosses?

Have some phys attack damage leeched as xx, but they don't work great anymore, now that I dont have much phys dmg

[neat bison]

Yeah it’s tough, I put inspiration on my lightning arrow lol

[cedar river]

Had to wait until I regained 7 uses on my mana bottle both "time stops" vs Zarokh

That was painful

Do Leech % of physical attack damage work if you have a lot of phys dmg before conversion?

[muted birch]

How can I stack energy shield on invoker monk? Lvl 70 capped resistances other than Chaos. I have a body armor with 1300 evasion. With it on I get 204 Energy Sheild. Im super squishy in maps but I do very good damage. Im open to any suggestions and input. Im not sure exactly what it ia that nukes me either. Ill be jiving then im dead.

Also anyone else's struggling with stat requirements??? I need int and dex and holy hell I cant keep enough.

[glad bone]

get attributes on gear, which you must have pretty poor gear so far with totals that low, to be expected if it's your first 70

first priority should be finding a body armor with better amounts on it

[glad bone]

demon form makes you lose life, so life recharge will be fully disabled

[stone cedar]

anyone got a good monk build i can follow?

currently level 52

invoker

[rugged kraken]

I coulda swore theres a way to recharge energy shield regardless of damage.. but I cant remember what that was?

[glad bone]

i'm currently building that so i may be able to answer questions

[muted birch]

By that do you mean like +dexterity?

[hoary bison]

hey lads whats the move for ranger? Just starting out, almost level 15 rn

[glad bone]

it's ES recharge specific, you're thinking of energy barrier support

[haughty wadi]

i'm trying to figure out what makes bursting plague good

[glad bone]

yea dex or int can be found on gear

[glad bone]

most people are doing some kind of lightning setup or poisonous concoction

[rugged kraken]

Ah okay thanks

[hoary bison]

okay okay, that's kinda where I started. any guide recommendations I can follow along a bit?

[glad bone]

the hit damage from it can poison

[haughty wadi]

it seems that on single target it's useless because it only triggers on death, while on AoE bursting plague has a 0.1 sec cd so it only pops once in a full pack if they die together

[stone cedar]

who can help me with a monk build?

[astral willow]

I can't help but feel like I'm doing something wrong if my basic attack is the highest dps thing by far

[glad bone]

you're right it's useless on single target, i wouldn't use it on a monoskill build

[hoary bison]

I'm coming from Diablo so the passive tree is a bit daunting to start lol

[haughty wadi]

what about aoe? am i mistaken about that?

[glad bone]

probably it's because of how your gems are set up, you probably have more scaling on auto and utility on active skills. also consider the fact that some skill gems are not calculated right

[fathom ibex]

Hello! any good warrior titan build guide for leveling / end game?

[glad bone]

use the search bar, that's the biggest thing

[shrewd kernel]

@astral willow check your bell's stat sheet, pretty sure it's going to be almost entirely phys

[lime tapir]

Am I cooking with a chayula monk bonestorm build? Based on physical and chaos damage.

[glad bone]

i was starting to set up something similar so i think it's a good idea, hard to say if it's gonna slap pinnacles though

[lime tapir]

Figured lots of individual projectile hits good for proccing chaos damage from chayula

[glad bone]

instant ES leech is an insanely strong mechanic, i would go pure ES with that

[still rock]

Does anyone know how fiery death support and explosive impact node work in conjunction? Do they stack or cancel eachother out if they both roll on the same mob death?

[lime tapir]

Yup! And mana leech and all damage goes to mana and all energy shield sent to mana

[shrewd kernel]

Am I missing something about Bell, what's with the elemental supports?

[astral willow]

for a moment after dropping them, but I have a cold/fire/lightning Pillar for a weapon so I set one bell up for each element for increased ailment chance/exposure/penetration

shockwave converts 60%

[static plinth]

Are they both chance for explode? You can have multiple explosions, they each trigger on their own

[glad bone]

they almost certainly both trigger

[still rock]

Yeah I just read that line from PoE1 wiki just confirming

If multiple different sources of explosions trigger at once, they will all do their damage simultaneously.

So it should work

[snow matrix]

Hey does anyone know if there is an early endgame guide (lvl 60-80) for ice-strike invoker that would cost 2-3 divine to setup that I can then turn into the more expensive version later?

[hushed umbra]

As long as it doesn't have Sustained tag

[still rock]

What does that change in this case?

(It doesn't, I just want to know the limitation there)

[hushed umbra]

oh mb

[still rock]

Np, just wondering what that would change if it hypothetically did

[midnight geode]

hey guys, if i use an ability like lightning rod, swap to a different weapon thats not a bow and the rods keep dmging enemies, will the ability scale off of the bow still?

[glad bone]

yea it's snapshotted at the time of use

[midnight geode]

ok ty

[still rock]

I was wondering this too for other purposes - is the snapshotting just in play for skills that require a particular weapon type?

[glad bone]

probably not, in most cases a skill that 'stays out on the ground' in some manner, or a slow projectile, will either disappear when you weapon swap or else not change properties if you do, pretending you never swapped

there's probably room for bug abuse there if you find some special trigger

[still rock]

Makes sense

[glad bone]

considering how many slow duration skills there are in the game they probably thought of this, existing spells or totems probably snapshot your weapon so for example, say you ball lightning, swapped-fireball, your ball lightning that was cast from a lightning staff won't suddenly be shit

[shrewd kernel]

With the "double herald tech" setup do I specifically have to trigger herald of ice, or can I start the chain with herald of thunder too

[restive mortar]

does anyone know, does "reduced herald reservation" reduce the reservation for only the heralds 30 or also for support gems on it?

[upbeat crow]

guys quick question what poison should i choose since ill go CI for stormweaver spark build, +5 to atributes or 15% reduced slow

[snow arch]

I'm a little depressed about how bad Hailstorm Rounds is at freezing

[muted birch]

Should I swap form Raxxanteraxs passive tree for his monk and go more defensive? With like grin feast and more survivability nodes?

[snow arch]

I really wanted an emergency freeze button for rares I needed to plasma blast

[lunar surge]

Titan or chrono for hotg build?

[snow arch]

permafrosts aren't what I was hoping to use

[still rock]

permafrost has inherent freeze buildup, so unless youre doing a metric ton of cold dmg with hailstorm thats your best bet - or get a bow on weapon swap to escape shot

and use glaciation support

[shrewd kernel]

Can I see some people's Tempest Flurry setups? Any input on this?

[still rock]

I dont really like escape shot though, it doesnt actually jump over any mobs lmao

[snow arch]

I have too much negative attack speed in my build to be bow swapping for one ailment

this is a titan big hits build, which is why I thought hailstorms might actually do well, but nope

[still rock]

Did you try it with glaciation at least?

[snow arch]

yep

[still rock]

Yeah, damn

[night shadow]

Hello guys, do POE2 has damage brackets for increase damage or there are all in the same bracket? Example: increase elemental damage whit attacks and increase lightning damage. if I have 10% of each I get 20% increase damage or 10% * 10% ?

[still rock]

it seems like unless you explicitly build into a lot of freeze buildup, you have to use the inherently "more" freeze buildup skills to reliably freeze

[snow arch]

and cold infusion and cold pen

[still rock]

pen shouldnt matter for freezing afaik

[remote sonnet]

Does anyone have or know where to find a loot filter specifically for lightning arrow deadeye?

[still rock]

the freeze buildup takes the hit before resistances

(i think)

[lone wave]

I assume if you put a channel spell in a cast on skill it just fires as if you'd only channeled for an instant, yes?
Not a free full channel or something

[snow arch]

plus I was hoping hailstorm was good because I could use Expanse on it

the cooldown being a non issue because of the passive ammo generation gimmick

buffs plz GGG

[still rock]

Did you try Glaciation + Execrate?

[snow arch]

"more chance to inflict ailments" wont matter for buildup ailments will it?

[still rock]

Hm maybe not

I don't know tbh lol

[snow arch]

In my brain that only matters for poison and bleed

and ignite

[still rock]

No reason not to try it

[snow arch]

maybe not ignite

[muted birch]

Should I swap form Raxxanteraxs passive tree for his monk and go more defensive? With like grin feast and more survivability nodes?

[still rock]

I think it's for shock, chill, ignite, bleed, and poison normally but who knows maybe it adds freeze buildup

[snow arch]

I've seen a few people proclaiming grim feast is living on borrowed time

[still rock]

Yes it's broken (op)

[nimble hound]

any eta on poison concoction nerf this is some easy ass lvling lol

[still rock]

Still no reason not to use it while it's strong though

And it'll probably be strong still after just not as often overflowed

[muted birch]

Just need survivability on my monk

Getting deleted

Ive got 1.2k hp 204 Es and 88 Evasion rating.

[snow arch]

that's like, no HP

[muted birch]

Im getting destroyed in like t3 maps

Im only level 70

[still rock]

Yeah you need more EHP, also what're your resistances like

[snow arch]

are you just wearing uniques or what

[muted birch]

Everything is 75 other than chaos

[nimble hound]

yeah I love poison/dot builds in ARPGs. So I'm hoping Pathfinder isn't over nerfed into uselessness.

ill honestly just play another game at that point

[still rock]

The only overtuned thing with Pathfinder is the fact that you can get like a gazillion quiver effect and also have Widowhail

[glad bone]

pconc is meta

[nimble hound]

until next week

[still rock]

The core fundamentals of Pathfinder aren't necessarily overtuned it's just the quiver effect bullshjt lol

[glad bone]

oh i didnt see context. i'm working on a poison grenade+highvel build i'll be turning into a guide

[nimble hound]

true. i hope its as good as something like totem warrior after the nerf

totem warrior is really great atm and not too pricey

i just dont want to reroll

[snow arch]

Are crossbow skills just ludicrously easy to feed when you don't have a billion APS I don't think I've been below 85% mana without a mana donut rare doing it

[glad bone]

someone has poison gas arrow working in pinnacles too

[tidal copper]

What's actually meta when half of the classes can one shot the final boss

[still rock]

I'm working on a Titan Flameblast igniter rn, just hitting maps so I'll update later if you're interested

seems good in t11s so far

[lone wave]

The one that can do it with the least gear needs leaving room for more rarity modifiers

[glad bone]

meta is the ones that do that

[snow arch]

but my deadeye loads shockburst and goes OOM in two seconds

[nimble hound]

i can't wait for Assassin, i'm betting there is some wonky poison builds in that

i like pathfinder but dagger + poison is my jam

[tidal copper]

I want to make Original sin poison but I'm too poor

[snow arch]

Shadows going to be weird having two weapon types assigned to it

[versed field]

So what’s the best starter build for a wand and lightning for monk

[glad bone]

it's gonna lean more into crit, pathfinder will probably still be the go-to for poison with overwhelming toxicity

[snow arch]

(claws may be retired)

[still rock]

Claws are in the db at least

[nimble hound]

ya but u never know one of the ascendenies for it might have some dot stuff

[snow arch]

but are they in the files or is it just chaunhsing hoarding old jpegs

[tidal copper]

Claws for the druid?!

[glad bone]

as a side thing i'd say, iirc poe1 assassin has one dot

[still rock]

And we probably should stop "assigning" weapons to classes, that's just how the game recommends you to play for players that aren't used to experimentation

[lone wave]

Presumably Pathfinder will be many poisons build and some Shadow ascendency will be the one big poison build

[nimble hound]

also 2H sword can't wait

[snow arch]

I think classic claw skills may be getting coopted by werewolves

[abstract mortar]

minion skills on sceptres are bugged? it only spawned minions once and dont spawn anymore
i tried different weapons, tried relogging, etc.
the skill appears in the skill panel but dont work
im using it on swap to generate minions + sacrifice for power charges

[glad bone]

technically a lot of the classes have to travel too far to reach weapon nodes

[lone wave]

Yea like, I'm not about to use bows on a Templar with no projectile damage nodes

[still rock]

I don't think it's that bad tbh, I've pathed some things pretty far. The attributes are needed anyways

[glad bone]

cast on crit

[lone wave]

I'll crit with a melee weapon

[snow arch]

well "two handed weapon" qualifies for bows and crossbows

[lone wave]

I can reach two handed weapon + melee damage over there much easier than two handed weapon + projectile damage

[glad bone]

while we're talking about class-specific weapons, attribute stacker jewel gemling makes me laugh

[snow arch]

projectile damage also doesn't scale heralds, afaik

[lone wave]

Attribute stacker + Monkey God Quarterstaff

[still rock]

I mean a good part of Gemling's identity is attribute shenanigans

[lone wave]

It's only level 5 or whatever right now but caged god quarterstaff attribute stacking gemling is indeed a build i'll be running

[snow arch]

do it now before GGG nerfs it to physical damage per 10 str to match PoE1

[thorny token]

every stat on pillar is for wahtever reason 4 times stronger than from poe1 pillar lul

oh sorry 8 times for aoe :d

[still rock]

I leveled my warrior with caged god tempest flurry only taking attribute nodes that lead to my actual build pathing lol

then respecc'd after cruel

was mad easy

[thorny token]

when every small node is 10% inc damage its indeed super easy :d

[still rock]

i didnt take any small nodes xD

just attributes

literally

well - small amt of life regen

[thorny token]

yea ttributes is what i meant by small nodes

[still rock]

oh yeah

i think its a tad overtuned

[thorny token]

yea a bit :d

[still rock]

but ill use it for easy leveling in the time being

[thorny token]

ppl think int stack howa is broken but that thing at least gives you same stats as normal weapon does (like 600 int is comparable to regular weapon)

[still rock]

can do it with any class, some easier than others

[thorny token]

but getting 600% inc damgae from 300 str is kinda nuts

[still rock]

being titan helped a bit too xD

8% str fo free

[thorny token]

yea also +12 small passives around those few str nodes

[still rock]

yeah i just took beef and brute strength and the rest were attribute nodes and a few jewels

[severe drum]

I am confused I am CI how did I die? thought I was immune to poison and bleed, right?

[still rock]

Did you use a flask that takes life

[severe drum]

oh frick

yeah

[thorny token]

lol

[still rock]

lmfao

classic

[severe drum]

just swapped to CI, okey that makes sense lmaoo

[still rock]

we've all done it

dw

[tidal copper]

You aren't immune to poison btw are you?

[severe drum]

yeah cause of CI, it does chaos damage

[still rock]

And bleed cause it requires a hit from your life

So you're effectively bleed immune

(I mean you can still take a hit from your life but you'd be dead so)

lol

[sharp crest]

Ok so check this out. I'm trying to run a monk stun build with light ignite and bleed possibility trying to make use of rage inst a ad of mana sheild

Anyone know the best way to stack physical damage?

[brave solar]

Your main weapon stats + the 20% phys runes + the support gems that just add raw % physical damage

[echo shoal]

I have 70 spirit from campign, the only boss on map that looks like i missed was bog witch act 3 cruel. i beat her and thinking now i have 70 and one of hers is 40. I can see king in the mist tile but looks complete as well even indicating +30 spirit. I cant find the 1st bog witch though it does not show on my act 3 normal anyone know a solution to this missing spirit?

[supple jay]

does whispers of doom only work with 2 different curses?
not the same curse twice

[thorny token]

yes

[supple jay]

damn

gonna be a while before I have enough spirit to have two blasphemies up

+grim feast

[gilded nova]

So far nobody was able to help me...
I lost all of my Energy Shield on my level 90 Deadeye...not sure what caused it. I double checked my gear and passives, but nothing seems different.
Energy Shield is at 0/0 and it used to be 150/150.
What could be causing this...anyone?
I'm offering a reward if someoen can figure it out.

No, I dont have Battery Node and I am not in Sanctum, I am in Hideout.

[torn quiver]

whats your helmet

oh only 150

you took off an item that had 150 energyshield on it

roughly

[gilded nova]

I have 3 items that give me increased Energy Shield

[torn quiver]

back to whats your helmet then

[dense wadi]

Hey guys, anyone has 2 level 15 spirit gems? 🫣

[torn quiver]

send a piece giving you energy shield

[gilded nova]

Like under the Energy Shield, it says nothing 😮

[cunning night]

doing witch summon, whats a good route for defense? armour health, es/armour/or es just getting through acts in hc ssf

[torn quiver]

neither of those give energy shield

you have 0 base energy shield on items

[gilded nova]

So I need smt like this?

Not "increased"

[torn quiver]

no, you need an item that gives energy shield, so an item that give energy shield the same way your chest gives evasion

[restive mortar]

so ive been planning a build which i think is interesting but ive never really tried to plan a build in advance before and im struggling to round it off: the core idea is using titans 50% increase of minor passives to build into something that only has limited support on the tree: heralds.
with titan and the 3 herald nodes you get:
66% reduced reservation for heralds (all 3 can be used for 31~ spirit)
150% damage to heralds
30% aoe to heralds
36% increased damage
50% increased fire lightning and cold damage
now the main thing im struggling with is what setup i want to use to inflict shock, freeze, and overkill with attacks in one go, and also how to tackle bosses as heralds have limited use there. any ideas?

[gilded nova]

whats it called "+100 to Energy Shield" or ?

[torn quiver]

not modifiers

your chest doesnt start with 0 evasion

it starts with like 450

so items that start with es, go to poe2db and have a browse of base items

[royal pond]

Does Chorono's passive Apex's slow stack with Temporal Chains?

[hollow wasp]

Guys does anyone know what the best build is for monk at mid game

[royal pond]

Skryah's Ice Strike Monk clears everything easily.

[thin basin]

first 6l, spark or cast on?

[violet berry]

What are "global defences"?

[thorny token]

armour eva and energy shield

[violet berry]

ty

[thin basin]

how hard is t15/citadel bosses compared to t11? strange thing to ask

[neat bison]

Uh not very

They only get hard once you upgrade their atlas tree

[jaunty flame]

ok

once i finished my lightning merc build

[thin basin]

hmmm im 1 tapping the map bosses so i cant really gauge my dps

[jaunty flame]

fully capped resists, hoaw and good gear overall

i have an accuracy problem

any ideas on how to fix?

do i just go more dex to offset it?

[neat bison]

One option is slotting the accuracy support into one of your auras

[low ivy]

are witchhunters able to build decent defenses? im stuck at like 2k hp even with a lot of life on most gear pieces.

[jaunty flame]

how much spirit does that cost?

[low ivy]

i can do t15 maps but have to be very careful, still hit the occasional random 1 shots

[neat bison]

10-15 I think for 30% acc

[night surge]

Can you increase all elemental resistances with quality on a breach ring?

[jaunty flame]

unluck

time to get new amulet

[hollow wasp]

Does anyone know what the best monk build is that I can make going into cruel

[tender void]

anyone have a good endgame merc build? exspensive or not

[jaunty flame]

yeah its not nice

i have 1.7k hp, 500 shield

2.5k sorc ward

and u can randomly get 1 shotted by a physical hit

50% evasion too

best advice i can give you is add that support gem for more projectile speed

and blast everything offscreen before they can hit you

[low ivy]

i dont really wanna go sorc ward cause elemental dmg isnt my main threat

[jaunty flame]

you dont have to then

you can spec into shield

[low ivy]

es?

[low ivy]

kinda sad that even merc has to build es lol

we dont have many good es boosting options

[jaunty flame]

embrace whack ass skill tree

[low ivy]

other side of the tree >.>

[neat bison]

Defenses are just too weak rn to do anything other than “get ES number as high as possible”

[low ivy]

im just kinda shocked this made it through into the game for this long lol. like its so obviously lopsided

[neat bison]

Well they scrapped together end game very quickly

So it’s not surprising

It wasn’t really an issue in campaign

[low ivy]

dunno heard a lotta warriors having serious issues while casters be coasting

[brisk vapor]

Are there any viable titan builds/guides?

[neat bison]

Yeah that’s mostly just warrior skills being so sluggish

So you get pelted while casting

[thorny token]

splash mace and hammer/perfect strike is very good

you still are stuck with warrior defenses but at least you get clear and damage

[low ivy]

yeah is like they went "lets make elden ring attack animations" while designing game for poe1 combat speed

[frail portal]

I am a Minion based Infernalist - I have a mid-decent amulet and I wouldlike to add an annoint, but I would like to pick a cheap / good-value annoint for like < 20 ex... any suggestions ?

[neat bison]

Essence infusion is decent value on a budget

[brisk vapor]

Do you perchance have a link for a mace splash build?

[frail portal]

Unfortunately I am MoM, so no ES stuff

[neat bison]

Ahh I haven’t looked at the mana nodes really

[viral field]

Realistically, would it be possible to assemble a build that utilizes cast on freeze, shock and ignite and can kill things?

[thorny token]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0w_dlflew0Q only this, idk if that dude has actual build for it check other vids maybe? i have tree that i made for my brother thats better than what that guy was doing tho

pretty straightforward

[brisk vapor]

Titan ascendancy?

[thorny token]

yes

for the 50% effect

[brisk vapor]

Ty very much

[thorny token]

also warbringer is just garbage anyway

outside of the seismic cry build

[brisk vapor]

What's the ascendancy priority?

[neat bison]

I don’t think the breaking armor below 0 thing actually works for Warbringer

[violet berry]

I'm unsure whats better a total of 60% ele resistances using 4 x 5% ele cores, or a total 28% chaos resistance using with 40% ele resistances?

[static spade]

Does life recoup help with self inflict damage to destroy energy shield and to generate energy for barrier invocation skill?

[river anvil]

I don't think life recoup applies to self inflicted damage with the way that it's worded

[thorny token]

hulking form into whatever you want really. but if leveling grab aftershock first and then respec aftershock when you get second ascendancy

[brisk vapor]

Yeah I'm gonna be starting from level 1

I'm new to the game in general so I try to understand why and what to take xd

[thorny token]

https://poe2db.tw/us/Two_Hand_Maces#TwoHandMacesItem

the important piece is this

soonest you can get boom mace is lvl 22

this base

before that its kinda suffering

[brisk vapor]

Ah

[thorny token]

but you have some ok options

[brisk vapor]

Do I use any spells?

With certain support slots

Or just aoe slam

[static spade]

I'm running Fireflower amulet, the drawback is a pain in the ass though specially on big horde

[thorny token]

spells not rly

but you do run some utility

infernal cry and empower supports, shockwave totem + font of rage and font of life

[river anvil]

I don't think you actually hit yourself though, that's why I don't think it would apply

[thorny token]

those 2 are most important utility at least

[brisk vapor]

Ty very much

[thorny token]

and then early perfect strike is all your damage

and then default mace attack i guess

[brisk vapor]

On my mace hit what supports should I slot tho?

[thorny token]

• earthquake whenever you feel like it but EQ becomes useless fairly quickly

[thorny token]

just damage supports i think whatever is recommended there is fine as long as its not pure phjys related

as you want to eventually go fire

[brisk vapor]

Ah okay

[static spade]

But it does apply on barrier invocation even though it says that you needed to destroy energy shield via "Hit"

[thorny token]

and fire convert with avatar of fire

• ignite on top

[brisk vapor]

On the rest of my gear I just armour stack?

[thorny token]

armour doesnt rly matter that much

make sure to have life and resists

rest is bonus

[brisk vapor]

Ah okay

[thorny token]

and strength is also good

it gives life and eventually you will need a lot str anyway

because of giants blood on tree

as it triples str req on your weapon

[brisk vapor]

Oh yeah

Ty very much

[static plinth]

How do i add jewels with radii to maxroll's planner?

Or is there a better tool for this

[river anvil]

Then I think you need a better expert. If it applies for forbidden rite in poe1, maybe it'll apply ...

[thorny token]

if something says "take"

it counts as a hit

but not enemy hit

[tiny brook]

any good ways to convert more phys damage to lightning when using galvanic shards/stormburst?

[thorny token]

if it says lose then it do not even counts as a hit

[thin basin]

coulda 1 shot trial master too if i didnt mess up

first time

we're

so

idk

[pure fox]

this % increase phyisical damage, is it local or global?

[tiny brook]

local

[pure fox]

so the priority here should be melee skills and attack speed, because the rest are local so i just focus on overall dps or the phyisical attack total of the weapon,right?

[tiny brook]

huh

oh

prio phys on the weapon

weapon scales everything 👍

[pure fox]

yes but not the prefix, just the overall phys

right?

prefix is local so doesnt matter

[tiny brook]

the prefix fully matters

your weapon is your biggest source of phys

[thin basin]

640+ 3 socket is 26 divines ive done it

[pure fox]

thats not what i mean @tiny brook
