[wild whale]

grind*

not grief

yeah because the regular stat points you could just start from the top and just spam refund I forgot that litterally everything is connected

[astral gale]

I am running invoker monk this are good number at this level or I can still improve it? Playing first time poe2 so

[wild whale]

ngl im running minion so idk how good that dps is

I'd say it's really good tho

[snow sierra]

someone has a idea how to use deadeye in a minion build and not have 2 dead ascendency notes after tailwind ?

[wild whale]

deadeye minion build?

isn't deadeye a bow class? correct me if I'm wrong

[static plinth]

I imagine that's why they're asking

[wild whale]

that's uh

very interesting to say the least

[snow sierra]

kinda ? but tailwind is super nice for a dodge build and i wanna do a dodge+block minion build

[neat bison]

Maybe something that turns frenzy charges into power charges

[snow sierra]

so deadeye comes to mind

[static plinth]

This

You can do zombies that way

[neat bison]

Or maybe minions can interact with marks

Idk just spitballing

[wild whale]

bro I love watching arsonists explode things but I wanna make that demon form build that deals like 3m dps

[snow sierra]

mhh the frenzy into power charges idea could work

[rare mulch]

What ilvl does an amulet need to be to roll +3 to spell skills?

[static plinth]

Im so happy that 3m is a huge benchmark and not the bare minimum in this game

[wild whale]

3m damage is NUTS it's actually absurdity

[static plinth]

In PoE1 10 million was "acceptable"

[snow sierra]

ok super juiced zombies could be hella intresting

[wild whale]

I deal like 40k dps at lvl 63 with my minions,I'd say it's good because no bosses are giving insane trouble but it's weak compared to what I've seen

[static plinth]

Do y'all think Sacred Flame + Doryani's Prototype cooks

Im trying to figure out what mace skill to run (Since i dont really want to do spells)

[snow sierra]

the question is do the pathfinder notes still work if i take resonance mhhh

[static plinth]

First one does, second one doesnt

[snow sierra]

well that would atleast be one less dead note

[wild whale]

Munin would you reckon its worth respecing my stats from a arsonist minion build to one of those demon form caster builds that absolutely obliterate bosses

[static plinth]

idk i think both are boring as sin

[wild whale]

true because it's lazy

[static plinth]

Join us, do EDC

[wild whale]

EDC?

[static plinth]

Essence Drain Contagion

It fucking sucks

[wild whale]

ou I've seen that 😭

contagion is pretty fire tho I mess with it

[static plinth]

(it would be better if it didnt send me to like 10 frames)

[wild whale]

I like giving stuff fire weakness then hitting them with contagion and then pain offering and my minions just start tweaking

massive dmg

well not massive but yk average

[still rock]

if only they didnt make contagion single target application

[snow sierra]

how to get frenzy charges tho mhh

[static plinth]

If we had a good ED or a good C we'd be great

Decaying Hex and Dark Effigy are awesome

At least ED deals giga damage

[still rock]

Ed single target with everything pumping feels great

just map clear is shit

[wild whale]

bro I saw this monk build that thanos snaps things out of existence with a swipe

like wtf

[still rock]

and the game is 96% map clear

rn

[wild whale]

tbf

it's early access

[static plinth]

Just do Zarokh with EDC its easy (fucking foul)

[wild whale]

still the best arpg I've personally played because I can't afford the others ones 😭still underage for work

[static plinth]

Im probably gonna be mostly taking a break until more classes drop

[wild whale]

I'd like to try the Templar class it sounds so sick

[static plinth]

Not really feeling leveling another character and current endgame is snzzz

[wild whale]

just the name Templar sounds sick

[static plinth]

Templar is great except for having 1 good ascendancy in the first game lmao

[still rock]

i hope he still has a long neck

[static plinth]

They're making him not left-handed and it's bullshit 😭

[static plinth]

Maybe that's too mean to Inquisitor

[wild whale]

I played the original poe then I heard rumors of poe 2 so I decided to wait for it and play this instead

so far I seriously fw it

[static plinth]

Templar's main things were Spell+Attack combos, Brands, Totems, and Minions/party play

[wild whale]

amazing game

[static plinth]

There's nodes for Link skills on the tree which im excited about

[wild whale]

bro speaking of party play its as if the game nerfs me when I'm helping my lower level friend

😭

[static plinth]

It does

[wild whale]

it makes sense

[static plinth]

You can turn off downscaling but then your friend will get massively nerfed XP

[wild whale]

I like it that way

[static plinth]

Which basically makes them unable to progress

[magic tide]

Anyone got some recommendations for a good easy to use warrior build?

[wild whale]

yeah I'd rather keep that off

[wild whale]

isn't the titan totem spam one the best?

I've also seen a 2 handed 2 handed hammer in each hand dealing like half a bosses hp with one swing build

[hallow spruce]

@tender needle this look ok? https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/profile/230cecbd-9040-45f4-b95e-cee490c74641/builds/d384451b-ad37-4b52-bf27-42ebffd2757a

[lavish edge]

is it worth to start a spark mage, or are the nerfs comming gonna destroy the build?

[magic tide]

holy shit which build??

[neat bison]

If Templar doesn’t keep his diaper I will riot

[static plinth]

Probably Perfect Strike if i had t oguess

[static plinth]

Community petition to grant this man pants

[last arrow]

best way to sustain power charges? I haven't really looked into it. I'll do some digging if there isn't 1 or 2 easy ways

[frosty arrow]

I swear majority of my deaths with MoM and eldritch battery are so easily preventable. My brain is just wired to glance at the health bar, not mana

[astral gale]

Hey how resistances works in poe2 i have kne ring in which i have 45% lighting resistances but when i check mu character it shows me only 12%

[frosty arrow]

With every new act passed your resistances take a 10% cut

[still rock]

combat frenzy and resonance with electrocute, freeze, or pin

voll's off crit

[astral gale]

Oh

[still rock]

those are the two im aware of off the top of my head

[tender needle]

Seems mostly reasonable but doesnt mention couple of things. The cast on ignite version needs 7 max fire res + regen jewels that currently cost 4div each and have been doubling in price every day this week cause demon form is op, so you will probably not reasonably run that version anytime soon. There's also a helmet that you want to strongly consider, mask of stitched demon. Its currently bugged that you can put it on after entering demon form and retain ur es, but even after that bug gets fixed it will be mandatory for bosses. Lets demon form reach 1000+ stacks instead of the 300 u can get with a normal helmet and good gear.

I personally went closer to this build, but the skill setup/build you posted will work just fine too https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/7fgum010

[hushed umbra]

reducing cd is damage

dropping 4 hammer's of god is a lot of damage

[rapid knot]

is there any useful stat for the staff for sigil of power? just using it as swap

[last arrow]

ahh interesting. hmmm im trying to think of how I can utilize this to do a zombie build (even tho they're ass rn). I guess I could do something with a spell to pin, electrocute, or freeze consistently. Maybe ball lightning or something

[mystic kernel]

+3 to level of all melee skills i huge right ? ._.

[hushed umbra]

it's fine in cruel act 1/2

if maces

[tender needle]

cast speed +level to spell skills

[mystic kernel]

Warstaff and endgame

I mean for level 18/19 skills

[hushed umbra]

Can go to +7 so i'd want more at that stage +5 at least

if you can afford mana ofc

[hallow spruce]

Yeah I was prob gonna do the normal one, not ignite one.

I was gonna do spark but I really like the look of chaos stuff

Plus I feel like once I get the gear, I could bounce back and forth between the builds

[tender needle]

yeah thats totally fine, spell choice is not the biggest of deals with demon form. You can have lots of spirit and have infinite generic spell damage. Pretty much any generic spell build can work

[waxen jewel]

Do marks snapshot from the current weapon set?

I'm currently running "Marked enemies take %10 increased damage" + "Culling" and friends on my secondary weaopon (shield only) for more potent marks, but am not sure if it's working

[tender needle]

Once u get to 13,000% increased spell damage, what spell it is doesnt matter much

[crystal drift]

is there a way to gain energy while leeching life or while leeching , or a way to leech energy based on spell dmg or something

[waxen jewel]

That's thank to GGG, not true in all games

But wouldn't fast spells be preferable when one-shotting everything

[unique gyro]

I'm looking for a really good ignite build for my warrior I was following 5his random build from YouTube but it feels like it's lacking any suggestions

[waxen jewel]

What you playing?

[wild whale]

titan ascendancy one I think

[waxen jewel]

Taking a look, it seems Titan is only one doing anything

[wild whale]

then you stack physcal damage and stun

[waxen jewel]

Haven't even checked warrior ascendancies KEKW

[wild whale]

and some strength

ofc

you could also stack rage if you'd like for some damage it's pretty fun

[waxen jewel]

On quick glance I saw options for +15% more life and every other hit Ancestrally boosted

[magic tide]

yeah but there are several builds with titan

[waxen jewel]

How high can you bring rage? I assumed normal 30 rage is just part of every build

[unique gyro]

Didn't see your response my bad ye I'm titan and I'm lvl 52 rn

[wild whale]

dual 2 handed weapon warrior build

can equip 2, 2 handed weapons 😭

[waxen jewel]

Like I'm going for in my deadeye with vine arrow/some totem (idk how's that gonna turn out)

And the thing that boosts normal passive nodes synergizes with that by providing pile of attributes? Got it

[wild whale]

ima go 4500% increased spell damage demon form infernalist

boring but it's yeah it works

[waxen jewel]

FUCK Why I'm playing this deadeye

I'll just play tutorial (campaign) for moneys and restart

[wild whale]

👽👽😭😭😭

bro

deadeye is good

don't change because you've seen this

remember things get buffed and nerfed bro

thank God respeccing is a thing

[waxen jewel]

That's not the issue. I'm just not the biggest fan of the incentive to be next to my enemies on a ranged character

[wild whale]

hm?wym like you just don't have range?

[mint surge]

Hello i have a quesiton.
Why is my storm wave and tempest flurry not generating charges for charged staff ??

[waxen jewel]

Being at very long range is not an option either considering the PoE2 movespeed (none), so every deadey must pick the 20%-0% more damage from 0m to 3.5m distance

It doesn't help that bunch of notables in the tree encourage this too (and a gem)

[wild whale]

wtf

[hallow spruce]

Dumb question, that’s what demon stacks give right?

[wild whale]

at that point I'd just go pathfinder

wtaf

[waxen jewel]

Okay I'm probably challenged, point noted

[wild whale]

how come?

[tender needle]

yep, 18% increased spell power per stack, and its possible to reach over a thousand stacks with good gear.

[waxen jewel]

For not getting your idea of how to stay on long range and get the bonuses (my orignal message got automodded btw)

[hallow spruce]

Should I cap out at 10 until I get the proper gear or?

[wild whale]

ohh😭

[formal swallow]

Hi all - I need some help in figuring out how to sustain mana with a collapsing horizon and elemental expression invoker. I found out that the +levels to elemental skills triple dips on skills with multiple elemental tags, but this makes the mana cost completely unsustainable for repeated use. Does anyone know of some important pieces I might be missing for mana generation/gaining and scaling arcane surge? It appears as though arcane surge cannot be granted through mana spent to cast trigger spells, and it would go a long way towards making this a bit more viable.

[waxen jewel]

Stupid suggestion: Inspiration?

[tender needle]

try it and see how it feels

[last arrow]

or lifetap depending on life steal

[hallow spruce]

Gotta do trials first

[tender needle]

thats the neat part, u only need the first 2 points :P

[waxen jewel]

That was my second idea. Isn't blood magic like really super good if you are ES based anyways???

[tender needle]

I killed arbiter with only the 2 demon form points cause I was too lazy to do the rest of the trials

[formal swallow]

The idea for the character is to be using almost entirely spell damage, otherwise this would be feasible. Mana leech is also unable to really help very much

I've also got cast on crit and cast on freeze putting in serious work for dps

[tender needle]

Eventually I got the rest though cause its some free survivability and I wanted the small bit of extra spirit u can get

[upper viper]

Anyone know, why switching out a weapon can i think brick your build.
I went from almost 12k mana. To 7.8k Mana and switching back to old sceptre. Does not revert this change.

[fiery wave]

any support gems that make sense to put on arc?

i meant to say damage

[waxen jewel]

Just fyi, that skill is not supportable by Life Tap and friends, because it's trigger

[fiery wave]

i have a hard time finding a good mult for arc

my build is 95% stable now

[waxen jewel]

poe2db.tw is an absolutely amazing resource, but I hate that it has some 2023 obsolete pre-pre-alpha gems in it

[upper viper]

And i cannot socket jewels into my atlas tree either

what is going on

[fiery wave]

just unspec your weapon sets

you cant have a jewel on a weapon set

branch

[upper viper]

im using 0 weapon spec

[fiery wave]

well then idk

sometimes the interface is a bit finnicky

[upper viper]

unsocket all my jewels. Cant put em back

:/

[fiery wave]

i cant slot gems when im at the respec guy

[upper viper]

interesting

[fiery wave]

i meant jewels

[upper viper]

my problem right now is that i lost almost 4k mana from switching out my main weapon

there is a calculation, that dorked

[fiery wave]

i mean did you turn spirit to mana or something because it hardly sounds possible

i have the stats not updating in demon form but thats about it

or sometimes with writhe

[upper viper]

all i did was update my sceptre that is the same. Minus my old had 30 mana. and this gives me 177 mana

[fiery wave]

but maybe if youre into crazy territory maybe your 2% mana pool gems did a lot

[upper viper]

and switching back to old main sceptre. Does not fix my mana

[fiery wave]

how did you get to 12k in the first place 😄

i have not seen more than 8k

[upper viper]

int stacking, merc and just converting ES to mana

got to 11.6k mana before switching out my weapon

[fiery wave]

did you lose stats that made a piece of gear unwearable?

[upper viper]

bulld i am following had 13.somethingk

everything is green

removed 20 str and now its back

wtf

im so confused right now

i removed 4X5 STR nodes from my tree. And they came back

how do i show this

this must be a bug

[wanton creek]

would putting cold in both these slots be the best option?

[sacred junco]

I have FireFlower with Necromantic Talisman allocated. Im using Fire Wall with a lv4 Raging Spirit linked with Infernal Legion.
Now for some reason, the SRS doesnt immediately die when they are near mob. They seems to die only from the Infernal Legion burn.
Does anyone know what else I could've missed here?

[upper viper]

Can someone smarter than me, explain to me. Why increasing my STR, bricks my mana ? https://streamable.com/44s4c4

[waxen jewel]

Was there any way's to create shocked ground on demand?

Quick search on gems give me jagged, consecrated, chilled, and burning, but no shocked :(

I'd love to cheat the new scuffed shock mechanics

[rugged ingot]

Invoker ascendancy has a chance to create shocked ground on shocking enemy

[waxen jewel]

HMM. I consider that once I switch to invoker

I'm on deadey now

I have vague memory that there was some way

[rugged ingot]

It includes 10% increased lightning damage. Shocked ground honestly isn't very effective

[frosty arrow]

how does crit chance work for spells like hexblast. Is it per cast basis, or each hit on individual enemy can crit?

[waxen jewel]

The idea is to cheat the minimum shock value (20% increased damage) with shocked ground, but your point might be mega valid because my shocks with Voltaic mark reach upto 31% increased damage (ingame debuff icon), so maybe that's bad idea alltogether

And I'm level 45

[rugged ingot]

Yeah lightning damage shocks so fast it's really kind of pointless. And since you're constantly moving that also defeats the purpose. Also I don't think there is anything that compiments shock the same way chill is supported.

[waxen jewel]

I see

Makes complete sense. The further I progress in the game, the less I want any long-ass debuffs like Xed-ground

I've been really enjoying my herald of ice now that I got 60 spirit. Now I just need to pick some AoE nodes on the tree and everything should jsut pop

[fiery wave]

per cast

crit scaling is rough unless you can either invest a lot of points or youre bloodmage

[frosty arrow]

yeah I'm just wondering if it's worth having like 20% or so just to trigger arcane surge on my chaos casting monk

but it seems I'd have to spent a crapton of passive points to even get that

[fiery wave]

correct

btw. the dps preview calcs your crit damag einto the average

when i tried to scale flameblast i got to a similar point

8% crit chance for 200% is 1,16 mult damage so not too bad. you hit on average every 12.5th attack but if you want to have crit upkeep you need to do it every 4 seconds or whatever. to get to get a 95% to have hit a crit i need 30 casts. now to get that number of hits to 5 i would have needed 300% crit chance bonus if i remember correctly.

and thats a lot of nodes

[frosty arrow]

hexblast has speed on it's side, you can cast a lot of them quickly

but still

[fiery wave]

i think its often better to put the flat 1,3 mult support gem in even if you technically only gain 14% damage because most builds dont need enough hits to make the crit relevant

[frosty arrow]

I'll have to think about it. For the similar number of points I could just go for almost all chaos damage nodes on the tree and some mana regen for my mom+eb, compared to trying to get lots of crit

[fiery wave]

if money is not an issue i would just try it out

faster

i think i spent like 3 million the last few days trying different layouts

[frosty arrow]

I will once I have some more points. Once I'm at like lvl80 I'll try to reshuffle the tree

[fiery wave]

ah okay

[frosty arrow]

gold is really not a problem in the game

[fiery wave]

yeah its too early

yeah not sure if youre t15 but once youre there you gain like 150 in an hour

its really not too bad

150k

i did just add arc lighting as second spell for bossing and i did level 4 crit nodes

getting my chance to 15% and thats kinda worht

one is also the one that gives 40% *spell damage on crit recency

[static spade]

Is there any benefits of using "Avatar of fire" on a build with all fire spells?

[wanton creek]

how do you get all res to socket in gear whats it called

[thin basin]

big upgrades today, finally res cap at lvl 89, went from 3.4k mana to 5.2k, perfect kitokos n some other stuff

Might look for a full offensive glove to replace kitoko for bossing

[crystal drift]

is there a unique item besides gloves that gives chunks of energy shield when you do something like dmg or crit or cast spell or leech

[fallen cedar]

Hey guys!
I'm still getting the hang of how to upgrade the skills and such.
I got most of mine to level 10, but there's 2 I can't seem to upgrade using uncut gems (Herald of Thunder and Ghost Dance), as in they don't show up when I use an uncut gem.
How do I level them up?

[sturdy saddle]

you'll need Uncut Spirit gems for those ones as they're not basic skills but are spirit skills

[fallen cedar]

Ahhh that makes sense

Thank you

[sturdy saddle]

glad I could help!

[fallen cedar]

Is there a way to get support gems without relying on them dropping? I need a couple level 2 😦

[void beacon]

Player trade
ask in trade chat
Players in endgame should have plenty

[empty comet]

does this include dmg prevented by blocks?

[fallen cedar]

Ah of course! Thanks.

[solid pecan]

would anyone know if the chronomancer's time stop counts as immobilizing an enemy

it might be obvious, but the tooltip for immobilizing just states the 4 most common ones (heavy stun, electrocute, pin, freeze)

[proud ibex]

Quick question guys, should I use soul core or iron runes for this socket?

[sturdy saddle]

depends on what mods your looking for

[proud ibex]

im just playing spark archmage atm, i feel like im tanky enough and do not die often, so does that mean I just go for the mana for higher dps?

[sturdy saddle]

how often do you have to use your mana flasks?

[proud ibex]

never

[sturdy saddle]

dps sounds good then

[proud ibex]

alrighty thx!

[tidal copper]

You mean
If a hit does 700 DMG
You block
Do you recoup half of that DMG?

[polar rover]

Anyone know any reliable sorceress build crafters on YouTube? Looking to learn more about what is good on sorc and why

[near gyro]

I'm in the same boat at level 48. feel like I could be doing better. Cruel mode act 4(3)

[plain bear]

is there ANY way to make chaos bolt do damage over time for chaotic freeze?

[tidal copper]

Poison chance?

[minor tree]

Isn't cloak of flame insane? That's a 30% physical damage reduction by itself assuming capped fire res, more if corrupted or with higher cap

[glad bone]

just poison with it

[plain bear]

i was able to add envenom to chaos bolt, but game wont let me socket chaotic freeze in it anyway, rip my dreams

[tidal copper]

It's good for physical hits yes
Phys taken as is a great stat, specially if your class doesn't have other mitigations

[minor tree]

I've gotten one that gives me +50% fire res, has 2 slots (another +24 from runes) and has 48% phys to fire conversion, that's 35% physical damage negated right there, from 1 item almost anyone can equip???

And since it has a ton of res, that helps with capping the resists

[glad bone]

the downside is you can't use any defenses or unique effects outside that on body armor, it's an expensive slot

[tidal copper]

Good rare E shield armours can get crazy amount of E shield
You can equip a Kaoms heart for 1000 health too can't you? there are a lot of options for defense in the game

[minor tree]

Well with less than 50 int, isn't that akin to like 2500ish armor?
That's quite valid for any build that isn't stacking es

Or that doesn't need body armor as a stat stick for something in particular (like invoker)

[glad bone]

it is an option, yes, a lot of times phys damage isn't what kills you though

[minor tree]

Luckily this comes with 74% elemental resist

[tidal copper]

What often kills you in PoE 2 ?

[minor tree]

That's quite good!

[glad bone]

resistances are just a start, you need many more layers

[tidal copper]

Don't add fire runes to it please, that way you can roll fire resistance in other parts of the equipment

[minor tree]

I'm leaving it with empty runes for now

[tidal copper]

Or roll fire resistance and then acquire the max resistance per over capped fire resistance

That one is great for cloak

[minor tree]

I was thinking something along those lines for builds like totems/warcry

Stack str, get some armor, cloak of flame does what armor does but better, shout and be happy

[tidal copper]

What about heat proof armour?

[minor tree]

Idk what that is

[tidal copper]

Node in the tree

[minor tree]

Checked but couldn't find it, on phone rn, what does it do?

[tidal copper]

Back to stacking armour we go

[minor tree]

I'd imagine they work well together!

[pine mulch]

why in Siege Cascade we have immolate as a recommended support gem? work as intended?

[minor tree]

Armor from other gear can add to it

[mystic shard]

does zealots oath and eternal youth do anything together?

like regen energy shield or?

@ me if u ahve answer u wanna share thx.

[solid badger]

Is Corrupted Blood considered an ailment?

[austere dew]

so for invoker monk, would a build going for pure lightning and stun work? im new to monk and am just curious if stun and lightning is viable with a good amount of physical dmg involved

[twilit obsidian]

You guys, I feel hard stuck mapping. I only have 3 exal, my gear needs an upgrade, and I have no clue how to make money or get items. The maps I’m running don’t drop anything good. I don’t have magic find. My ES is only around 1700 and my evasion is stuck at 47%. I’m a lightning ranger. Someone please help lol.

[velvet blade]

For the purposes of Infernal Legion, enemies can only have 1 ignite on them right? Or could multiple minions infernal legion ignite affect a single enemy?

[ancient gull]

why is the 3 socket pillar of cage god quarterstaff worth 1 div?

[oblique bison]

its 3 sockects instead of 2

[snow flame]

does armour apply to energy shield?

[hexed vessel]

infernalist ascendancy Grinning Immolation while having clock of flames and Bronzebeard Horned Crown- can i remove the ignite damage im going to take from the ascendancy?

[vivid wave]

I am very confused with the Gas Arrow skill. The "Poison Cloud" part of the skill is scaling with elemental damage and increase to magnitude does not affect Poison Cloud's damage. Is the damage calculator accurate?

[frosty arrow]

if gas arrow is anything like gas grenade then cloud itself doesn't do any damage

it just applies the DOT scaling from poison magnitude

but the initial "hit" is just like a projectile hit

scaling from any kind of damage

[wanton creek]

so i already have martial tempo, primal armament, and rage on ice strike. What should i put on cascade now??

[empty comet]

will adding quality for fire attributes increase all res?

edit: just tested it, can confirm it will increase all res

[burnt herald]

Warrior slammer earthquake or boneshatter oe both

[empty comet]

fire god warrior

slam and strike, molten titan

no bone shatter

[vivid wave]

thanks for the reply. The "poison cloud" has it's own damage in the damage calculator though, separate from the arrow hit damage.

[past kindle]

Font of mana on something like orb of storms, any reduced mana cost or cost of skills on passive tree helps a lot. You can get 10% on the attack speed wheel slight north from monk and you have a mana cost wheel near start that gives 16% total reduced. Another notable slight south that gives 15% when not low mana. From there, higher investment would be the jewel that gives free radius allocatable passives near Mind over Matter which gives you better access to small passive skills that give % chance of arcane surge on crit

Trying to do the same build as you so doing my own research as well, but more than mana I’m kinda hitting a wall on damage more than anything

I would also highly suggest you try some life convert jewels, which helps with sustain and if you’re running ES then the protected life acts like a second mana bar

I’ve got one right now but might run two soon

[modern swallow]

Can anyone help me understand exactly how Firestorm works, mechanically?

The text reads:

Rains flaming bolts over the targeted area. Ignites on enemies in front of you are Consumed to fuel the firestorm, causing one bolt to be improved for each ignite consumed

(Bolts fall at a rate of one per 0.10 seconds.)

Anyway! My question is basically, how do the empowered bolts interact with the duration? Like, if I consume 5 ignites, and the duration is 5 seconds, I assume I'll get around 1 empowered bolt every second.

What if I make the duration really short. Like I consume 5 ignites, but the duration is somehow only 1 second. Will I get an intense rain of all 5 empowered bolts in that one second? Or do I "lose" bolts, if the duration is too small?

Anyone have any experience with this? I've tried to run some experiments, but it's challenging to set up clean tests. Trying with short (~3 second duration) storms and large (~15+) groups of ignited enemies, I didn't get as many empowered bolts as I expected, but it's hard to count them sometimes when a lot is going on. So I'm hoping someone else already knows how it works! Thanks in advance!

(Also if anyone has any other ideas about good ways to scale Firestorm, I'm interested in hearing them!)

[scarlet oasis]

Is a 34% increase dmg for allies worth 1 div for arsonist build

[sharp vortex]

im doing spark sorc, I need help with upgrades, i feel really stuck

only have 2divs

[spiral jasper]

Does Spectral Ward node only scale off the Evasion Rating written on the body armour itself? or does it scale from the evasion bonus as well?

[smoky raft]

Is there any website i can copy paste some build

Like merc

[carmine bear]

It is a bug ?

i already actived herald of ice but top right didn't appear icon

[frosty arrow]

does leveling blasphemy do anything at all? Maybe reduce the penalty to curse intensity? Because I keep doing it out of habit, but see no changes

[snow burrow]

How do u have 12k mana am hard stuck on lvl 90 with max 4K mana , hence my clear is good but boss damage is sad ,

[frosty arrow]

seems like something you'd need to play gemling for

for those doubled attribute bonuses, and tons of intelligence

[misty helm]

What are some off meta builds for int stacking I can try? Currently impending doom, but man, breaches over run me in T15s.

[plain cloud]

Hey, if I wanted to play a Spark build, should I go for Stormweaver or Gemling? Are the builds even comparable ? I see Videos on both but not sure how it compares late game

[hexed vessel]

is there a way to recoup energy shield?

[median kraken]

How's 4-socket Morior Invictus compare to a good rare for Archmage build?

[median kraken]

Stormweaver can recoup elemental damage. Not sure if any other way.

[tidal copper]

I bet gemling

[hexed vessel]

hmm got it, i mainly want to have the recoup ascendancies of chronomancer to take effect on recoup energy shield instead of life

[median kraken]

Don't think there's really anyway to do that

[static plinth]

There isn't

You can get the 50% of damage recouped as mana belt and use Eldritch Barrier

[median kraken]

I imagine Gemling gets better at really high gear levels but is a lot harder to get going, but that's just a guess

[hexed vessel]

does eternal youth converts recoup as life to recoup as energy shield instead?

[static plinth]

No

Recharge is Recharge

It is not regeneration or recoup or leech

[hexed vessel]

thank you

[shy ermine]

What should I put in sockets for Morior Invictus for lightning deadeye?

[lost onyx]

Is Acrobatics worth speccing into?

[frosty arrow]

yes, if you can still get good amount of dodge after it

[lost onyx]

What is considered a good amount? 50%?

[frosty arrow]

I was thinking more like 65 and up

but you can always just try and see how it goes

[terse escarp]

does "+12% increased damage while affected by a herald" just mean a permanent +12% as long as one is equipped?

[eternal meadow]

equipped and turned on

[terse escarp]

yeah, i was overthinking it wondering if it meant i needed the herald of thunder buff to be active to get the bonus for example

[dense bramble]

i crafted a few wands and i dont know which one is the best can someone help me out? or is there a weapon DPS calculator out there somewhere i can use for casters (spark stormweaver)

[tidal copper]

Very hard to say cause builds different uniques/passives/stats to resist physical/elemental/chaos DMG
A pure ES build? I think I saw 8-9k top end, but what if you go evasion too?
I feel that you should choose your defensive layers and then ask for a ballpark

[wanton creek]

best support gems for storm wave??

[glass vale]

any support gems that allow voltaic grenade to shock, and could it be a starter for a "cast on shock" setup?

[shy ermine]

is Morior invictus worth it for deadeye ranger or should i go expert studded vest?

[still rock]

corpse life

[sly field]

Can someone help me understand str requirements on deadeye? I'm using Lightning arrow, at around 47 str. If i take off an item that gives me 30 str, my skills all disappear? None of my gear or skills say they have any str requirement. I'm confused

[cyan plinth]

Do rarity charms stack?

[still rock]

negative ghostrider

but despair or withered would

[dense oriole]

Really need to get my res up.

[still rock]

yis

[rare mulch]

Does "%Increased Fire/Cold/Lightning Damage" on a ring also apply to Attacks?

[calm forge]

do command skills for minions scale entirely off minion damage nodes? for example does gas arrow benefit from chaos damage nodes i have or only minion damage?

[vale frost]

If the bonus doesnt specify what it increases, for example fire damage, it effects both fire attacks and fire spells., Yes, it also applies to attacks.

[celest ridge]

Hey gents, is lightning arrow worth taking into the end game? Was my fav skill in poe1, just wondering if it would be viable

[pearl sluice]

can someone help me with the pathing of my skill tree? i still dont have enough understanding of the skill tree

[cyan plinth]

Do Rarity/Gold charms stack?

[past dust]

how does Afterimage passive work? Does it literally add +8% chance to avoid melee attack on top of your evasion? like if I have 92% evasion it will evade 100% of melee attacks?

[round wind]

can anyone suggest a good ssf legionnarie build?

[rotund flare]

What should I do with ranger currently lvl 22

[pallid forum]

ok so what is the best necro build currently? i see 3 builds at maxroll (bombarding, storm and frost)

[carmine sun]

Is Wide Barrier worth it on a Witch? (+30% Block, -25% all defenses)

[twin mauve]

what is higher damage on explosive shot, 380pdps xbow w additional bolt suffix or 550pdps+ without additional bolt assuming bases r good and there is a lot of attack speed/reload speed? can't post in merc thread since it reached full members

[hybrid ocean]

Anyone know if cast on ignite/critical's "modified by the percentage of the target's ailment threshold the [ignite/crit] will deal" can exceed 100%?

[woeful slate]

are then any builds that basically just have you press 1 button and dont require much else? i.e diablo 3's whirlrend barbarian which was basically just a hold right click and zoom

[tiny plaza]

does charges work the same way?

[pearl sluice]

how can i search on trade site for " from nothing diamond " specific keystone? when i try enter there is only tab for " MIN " "MAX" and i cannot write inside there what i want

[sick jasper]

Not sure if anyone answered. Red support gems require 5 str each, so taking 30str off removes 6 red support slots. Maybe thats why some skills don’t work anymore?

Anything with excess support gems will be greyed out until you either take out the red gems or get the 5str per gem back. It says how much you need per attribute at the top of your skill gem window too

[upper viper]

What character are you using and are you stacking int ?

[snow burrow]

Archmage + 396 int following captlance build

[empty comet]

so with avatar of fire converting all of my dmg to fire, tings like leech % of physical dmg and anything physical dmg related on the passive board will no longer work, correct? i need to invest in ele dmg, fire dmg, etc

[upper viper]

Minion build, or LA. From my experience

[woeful slate]

LA?

[upper viper]

Lightning arrow

Stacked with Herald of ice and thunder. Lovely map clear

[woeful slate]

hmm ill take a look at those thanks

[upper viper]

I have 600 int if not more. Plus with mercenary ascend node, I get 4 per int. Instead of 2.

Than there is a little trick, using a amulet. Forgot it's name, I will be on in not long after doing some stuff. Than I can help you more, if you're on as well

[mystic osprey]

I built a decent monk but on the witch tree, I'm not sure how I can stack up damage. I'm using frost wall + fireball combo. Should I get fire pen, fire exposure, ignite magnitude? I'm not going crit btw.

[pearl sluice]

how can i search on trade site for " from nothing diamond " specific keystone? when i try enter there is only tab for " MIN " "MAX" and i cannot write inside there what i want

the same for the jewel which gives +1 / 2 /3 to specific skill, how do i put there the skill i want?

[rustic monolith]

best str stacking gemling build?

[sturdy saddle]

just search it in the main search bar they come up fine

[pearl sluice]

ohh

what do you mean? can u help with an example?

[median kraken]

Most builds prefer reducing resists to pen right now, don't need both. I think ideally you want to scale both the fireball and the frost wall, Frost Wall actually does good damage. So focusing on things like ele damage and spell damage, or converting fire to cold with Blueflame gloves and scaling cold damage. Getting chance for extra projectiles from spells is also good.

Can also go Archmage. It's so good right now it's strong event if you're not using lightning skills.

[pearl sluice]

if i want jewel which can allocate in radius of " bulwark " how do i searc for it?

[median kraken]

Not sure if you can. Trade site doesn't currently support searching mods that have a variable that isn't a number.

[pearl sluice]

can u help with example bro? icant make it work xD

[sturdy saddle]

as far as i know i dont think theres a way to search for that specifically on the website might be better off going with a trade discord

ill keep looking and let you know

[pearl sluice]

ohh i see hanks man

[sturdy saddle]

have a look into it but if it works with your build you could try controlled metamorphosis diamond

[sturdy saddle]

found one for you ill DM you

[mystic osprey]

thanks

[vocal pine]

whats the consensus best monk build atm?

[hushed umbra]

Bell monk in co-op

[cedar river]

Which is the strongest stat stacker for gear like Pillar of the Caged God and Howa? Gemling or Titan?

[echo badger]

Is armor bad rn

[hushed umbra]

I feel like armour is prety decent, as long as you take few nodes to increase it.

[narrow bane]

i am pleased to announce i have found a working blood mage build'

for bleed application

although, casters aren't going to like it

[hushed umbra]

Any mana efficient bloodmage is viable tbh, Sanguimancy is really posh

[warm seal]

So I have 2 two-handed maces and using giants blood am able to dual wield them. How come when I have EITHER of them two-handed, they have much more damage than when I have both of them equipped/dual-wielded? I don't get it

[snow burrow]

sounds good ty

[sinful verge]

How much is rampart raptor going for

[deft spear]

Im a level 27 ranger and i need to change my build bcs i got no survivability, any tips on a fairly simple build to use?

[remote forge]

does somone sell furtives wraps I buy 3 divines HELP PLZ

[mystic osprey]

if I take the dual elemental damages nodes "%8 increased fire damage, %8 increased cold damage" while having the blueflame gloves which convert all fire damage to cold damage, does increased fire damage do any help?

[fiery aurora]

Guys which one is better?

[warm seal]

Depends on if you are willing to spend an exalt or 2. If so, then you can swap to gas arrow and use the ignite helm with a widowhail and a good quiver.

Radiant Grief is the helm name

Couple gas arrow with that helm, and herald of ash. Then you'll be pretty unstoppable up into maps. Use barrage+gas arrow on bosses/rares for heavy burst

[sick ermine]

I’ve hit the mapping endgame and my build just wasn’t doing anything honestly, surprised I made it past everything else. Any recommendations for an infernalist witch?

[narrow shoal]

Im playing ice Strike Monk Endgame, could some1 with a Powerfull build and Evasion/Energyshield look over my build. im Stuck doing more damage.

[pearl sluice]

Any idea for stun issues on witch?

[frosty arrow]

and the darwin award of POE2 goes to....me. For standing right in front of this chadrilla while he's winding up the big cajuna swing, as I'm thinking "I can burst his remaining health down no problem, I ain't even gonna move". As you can tell I couldn't. Left him with like 1 health

[golden sluice]

I have an idea for a lightning monk sorcerer and idk how viable it is. But I need to know the 1st 10 levels for gems and nodes. Like I said I have ideas and I don't have information so I don't have names

Get to flow like water. Grab the fire wall and sparks from sorcerer. Grab the monks electric Powers and grab the eletro ball thst boosts other zap attacks. Any changes or ideas?

[mystic osprey]

does fire, cold and lightning damage inflict exposure by themselves or are support gems needed?

[fiery sable]

is there any catalyst that increases rarity on rings/amulets?

[frosty arrow]

they inflict elemental ailments of the appropriate type, but not exposure by default

[pearl sluice]

if i anoint my amulet, later can i anoint again?

[radiant thorn]

yes

you can change the anointmenet as much as you want

[nimble sigil]

Hey guys, has anyone here got a good minion build that has fast map clearing that could help me, im pretty new to PoE so not sure exactly how to get stronger. i can run tier 7 maps but takes a while for stuff to die.

[radiant thorn]

no there isn't

[radiant thorn]

wdym by your build being a monk and a sorcerer

[golden sluice]

Start monk see if I can flow into the sorcerer/pure int line to lean further into mana and elements damage Bonus and effects

[hazy olive]

what determines critical strike chance of ancestral warrior totem?

[rocky stream]

Dual wield is shit it only adds 40% more damage while slowing you down and removing Block which is probably the best defense for life characters atm

I use dual wield maces with the attack speed nodes and stun buildup just to stun bosses/rares with basic dual mace strike and then swap to twohand+shield which does much more damage esp if u go for the 2 nodes which give 1% increased damage per 1% Block chanc3

[fringe cape]

If I use cast on crit to proc a lightning spell, can that lightning spell proc cast on shock?

[warm seal]

Ah okay. Yeah, that's strange. Thank you

[rocky stream]

150% increased damage to everything is just too good to beat and its easy to reach 75% if u get a shield with 60% increased Block chance by just pathing to those 2 nodes

Probably will be better once swords and axes are added

[lime narwhal]

does beastial skin work with ...lead me from grace ascension point?

[broken ridge]

hello is this good for 20divs?

[lime narwhal]

20 divs is a bit mental imo

[frosty arrow]

that's like half the price of astramentis. And the only reason you'd have something like this is I assume for stat stacking build

which is what you want, really

so if you have that kind of currency just get astramentis

[upper viper]

The trick is in converting your ES to Mana, but because of the everlasting graze. We are able to convert 30% of our mana. Back into ES, therefor stack it 🙂

So if your current amulet isnt as important. This might be a nice touch to getting some more mana

And i am guessing you are already chaos immune/CI ?

[tulip sentinel]

how much divine would this go for?

[upper viper]

we dont really price check here

[golden sluice]

Is there an online build planning?

[upper viper]

Maxroll has one 🙂

[golden sluice]

Ima save the sight

[strong frost]

What's the best support char/build? Something that isn't crazy expensive.
Looming to run maps with a friend but also be able to solo

[golden sluice]

How's that look for 15 levels?

[forest moat]

Does anyone know how Crimson power from the bloodwitch ascendancy interacts with GhostWrithe? does it just give max life based on the 128 ES or do you get it from the conversion as well?

[golden sluice]

But what is some solid advice for early (act 1) gears and nodes I should build for. Anything I should look for specifically

[timid cipher]

what better... a wand with +5 to spells or +100% spell dmg + 100% lightning dmg without the +5 to lvls?

like what does that +5 actually look like compared to 200% increased dmg?

[stable gazelle]

Hi guys, does cast on freeze help in pinnacle boss? Thinking whether to get 50 spirit for cast on freeze with voltaic mark

[torn leaf]

Hello all, maybe someone can help me with following problem.

I want to play this build (first picture).

But everytime i log new in or travel to another location, the skilltree will everytime change automaticly the red marked skills (second picture).

Can someone maybe tell me what i doing wrong or is that a game issue?

[snow burrow]

The problem is I have everlasting gaze and a rare ammy current with 30 spirit , hence I replace rare ammy with everlasting I loose cos, total spirit with regela would be 140 , also other option could be to use off hand scepter for spirit

[snow burrow]

Yes

I only issue I can think of is in my passive tree I have taken all the damage nodes instead of es nodes

[velvet heath]

wut class would yall recommend

[pearl sluice]

well trial master is not easy

[shrewd bobcat]

Yo I got a pillar of cage god 3 sockets. Should I put 3 iron runes in it for 60 physically or storm rune for 60 lighting damage.. or 3 soul cores that gives me 15% increase attack speed. For Tempest Flurry the Monk build? - Just for lvling or end game is there 2 diff set up?

[upper viper]

I mean, you can drop some damage nodes for es nodes. As that might help with more mana. therefor more damage, eitherway

[subtle mango]

Corrupting gave me a third socket 🤑

[wet mango]

It's taking about item ES, not from the conversion

[forest moat]

alright that makes sense

ty

[wet mango]

Look at what the dmg increase is for your skill

Are you asking how to look? Poe2db

[wet mango]

Your respec is not actually going through. You need another skill point and allocate the new point before you unspec the "wrong" point

[bronze hornet]

can this channel be used for 'my build is struggling, what can I do' as well as planning? lol

[timid cipher]

yeah ive looked at the raw increase from lvl, more asking after everything is calculated what has more value
did a little test with the wands i have and even at 200% spell dmg the dps shown on spark was much less than a +2 with cast speed
either the % spell dmg increase is negligible or the dps shown on skill is not taking it into account

[minor tree]

can evasion not suck? or is it just ehp with a chance to die every time you're hit?

[wet mango]

Well if you already have a lot of incr and not much cast speed.....

Incr dmg is additive

[timid cipher]

yeah ok that checks out, ty

[wet mango]

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

[torn leaf]

I don't understand this point.

My Problem is the Game change the red marked skills automaticly. I doing nothing. I have create my build like the first picture. But the game allways switch attack speed to projectile damage.

I have reset this Skilltreee many times but it will be allways change from the game.

[wet mango]

Wdym you create the build like first picture? How do you fix it when the game changes your skill tree?

[fiery wave]

how much life do you get when you life stack on equip and maybe passives

[torn leaf]

That is my problem i cant fix it, the first screenshot is after i reset the skilltree by the NPC where you can change all you points.
But everytime i log new in the game or i travel to another location the skilltree will be change automaticly.

[wet mango]

Yes and that's what I mean by your respec isn't going through

[torn leaf]

Ok, but why?

[native burrow]

altered flesh flesh fcking sucks, turning phys into chaos is garbage

[shrewd bobcat]

Yo I got a pillar of cage god 3 sockets. Should I put 3 iron runes in it for 60 physically or 3 soul cores that gives me 15% increase attack speed. For Tempest Flurry the Monk build? - Just for lvling or end game is there 2 diff set up?

[hazy olive]

i think you should give it to me :3

[shrewd bobcat]

Ill buy you one if you can give me a solid answer lol

[wet mango]

Because you are inspecting a point needed for tree continuity and "fixing it" in the same go. The respec won't go through. (Unclear if intentional or bug.) Use the workaround I gave.

[wet mango]

Assuming you're stacking % incr weapon dmg, the iron runes are additive with that so prob not what you want

[snow burrow]

Hope that helps will try out soon with gaze and scepter for spirit

[bold pulsar]

Feel like my off meta build is coming along nicely, but id like some feedback if possible

[torn leaf]

Ok, i understand now what was the problem. You cant reskill by the NPC, you can only get back the points but not allowing to reskill. 🤦‍♂️

[bold pulsar]

Its a living bomb build

[fierce coyote]

Hey all, happy new year. I’ve played some ARPG’s but never PoE1. I went into PoE2 completely blind and have been loving it. I picked Mercenary and then Ascended to Legionaire just because I liked the art and I’ve always liked gems and crystals and jewels. However after diving into the community for PoE2 I’ve learned that Legionaire is pretty versatile. My crossbow build has been really strong early game but now I’m struggling a bit up near Queen of Filth. I’m gonna respect to STR but I was wondering if I could get some advice or help for a new build.

[wet mango]

Yeah again, unclear if intentional or bug.

[lapis parrot]

Guys is this a good ring for ranger, I corrupted is this a good corrupt

[serene arch]

"Elemental Damage also Contributes to Bleeding Magnitude"

Does this work with converted elemental damage, for example Ice Shot? That converts 100% physical damage to cold damage

[minor tree]

it should

[torn leaf]

For me its a bug idk, i dont understand this mechanic. But ok you have help me find it out, thx.

[wet mango]

If you're doing ele dmg, yes

[serene arch]

I might do a cold bleed bow witch, after all 😄

[snow burrow]

Lovely ring

[fathom agate]

Can anyone tell me if momentumm is working on flicker strike? i saw someone say it worked with their infernal cry bell build but i cant figure out how to see if its actually doing more dmg, then i can put close combat back on tempest bell

[winged orchid]

What does quality do for the summon raging spirits gem?

[wet mango]

Doesnt momentum say "teleports don't count"

[wet mango]

Hold alt to see

[serene arch]

My first attempt at the cold bleed witch. Any glaring issues? I plan to use Ice Shot for mapping and snipe for boss DPS, and cast on crit with Eye of Winter for more crit chance against bosses

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/passive-tree/gb1pb101

[bold pulsar]

Anyone with sorc experience, mind giving me some feedback on the build I posted above? 🙂

[thin basin]

i want my orb of storm to hit fast and hard what supports should i put on it

+1 and spellecho maybe?

[cedar river]

Can infernalist summoner work without firewall, or is that just shooting yourself in the foot?

Strategically placing firewalls with controller is a hassle, I would just end up casting firewall directly on the enemy

[hybrid ocean]

Any clue if this works with Contagion? I'd assume not, but wondering if anyone has tested

[hybrid ocean]

Definitely either the attack speed or resistance penetration runes

[wet mango]

Ignite is a fire DoT, not a chaos dot.

You are not converting the fire damage (among other things, dots do not convert)

[hybrid ocean]

Ah, I see.

Yeah, I suspected as much

The wording being different from normal conversion

[wet mango]

It's damage taken as, not converting

[hybrid ocean]

Yeah.

[thin basin]

y cant u use spell echo w orb of storm it literally have aoe tag

and the first line matches

[pearl sluice]

anyone willing to sell queen of the forest for 4 divine 🙏

[hybrid ocean]

Now I kind of want to try something with plaguefinger & Azak's alongside contagion

[dry haven]

im fairly certain its bugged as some i know it should work with dont

[wet mango]

Because it doesn't affect an area around you or target location, it shoots a ball

[thin basin]

u might be confusing orb of storm w ball lightning

[wet mango]

Note that conc effect also won't have the (intended) effect since the beams are not AOE dmg

[wet mango]

Oops I was indeed

[dry haven]

what is azak's? i know plauge finger is VERY strong

[wet mango]

Although, my answer still stands

You're not affecting an area

Youre making a ball

[hybrid ocean]

Helmet, makes you apply poison on crit

[wet mango]

In this case stationary ball

[dry haven]

orb of storm is affecting an area, it scales off area of effect 100% but it may be limited to 1 meaning echo wont work

[dry haven]

i dont see this on any website lol

[hybrid ocean]

Maybe I got hte name wrong?

Lol

Got the phonemes right at least

[wet mango]

You can try it with overabundance or w/e but I don't think it affects an area

You are literally creating a ball

That has a range

[hybrid ocean]

^

[wet mango]

That's not "affecting an area"

[dry haven]

yes but it has an area in which you can stand in which it affects the player

[hybrid ocean]

It's not giving properties to a bit of ground, it merely has a maximum targeting range for shooting lightning beams

Echo is I believe specifically for magic'd up patches of dirt

[cold onyx]

does dark effigy fire a projectile for each stack of poison on the enemy?

[dry haven]

that means its affected by AOE and it is limited

the full tree for anyone interested

so overabundance should allow for 2

[thin basin]

oh yea baby we 1 tapping t18 +4 or whatever citadel bosses

[limber shale]

Anyone running merc?

[tidal copper]

what

[tidal jetty]

With what

[finite mica]

is life based, MoM stormweaver something solid to play light spell (ball lightning) ?
or mandatory EB / MoM / CI meta

[thin basin]

your average classic manastacker archmage

[tidal jetty]

I have 3 chars but each only made it to maps so i wouldnt know

Trying to decide which to continue

[thin basin]

same, this my 6th toon i got to map, was good enough so i went on with it

[tidal jetty]

I have sorc monk ranger

Order of fun monk>ranger>sorc

Though frost sorc was fun spark is meta and it has to be the most boring thing i have ever seen

[thin basin]

bloodmage > chonk > stormweaver > infernalist > bloodmage pt 2 (melee version) > chrono

[tidal jetty]

Bloodmage is no minion build right?

The clutter minions cause is not for me

[thin basin]

i will say qstaff/bell abuse for monk op for leveling, 2nd was infernalist ES abuse

[atomic verge]

What is temple of chaos based damage? Chaos? My armour is good, I've got fire, cold, lightening res to +75 and I still die very easily

[tidal jetty]

Yeah power charges and dying mid flicker is annoying

But you can go all out stormwave

[thin basin]

its just like a normal area with random mobs, kinda, theres chaos lightning and physical mobs tho

[hybrid ocean]

@dry haven Not sure if you saw

[atomic verge]

Hm

[dry haven]

i did, not sure if you could reach 100% poison effectivly but higher dmg per poison likely

remeber youd also be missing out on 2 poison stacks from snakebite pathfind

[crisp star]

anyone know how exactly does bloodmage base crit chance work?

is it just pumping base crit chance of spells from 5 > 15% then adding the 10% something depending on spell cast?

or is it just taking the base crit chance of the spell and turning it into 15%?

[thin basin]

2nd one (i havent gotten that far)

[hybrid ocean]

Could always just be a spellcasting pathfinder

[dry haven]

maybe, but why?

[hybrid ocean]

I'm wondering if Herald of Plague + Contagion will duplicate poisons

[hybrid ocean]

Big single hit damage with comets ig, plus higher level contagion

Probably not actually good

[crisp star]

aww mang. so basically bloodmage base spell crit is almost a dead node?

especially with some spells going as high as 13% base crit chance?

[dry haven]

i mean it could work but theres not much in pathfinder besides the double poisons and concoction atm thats good IMO other options are light slightly faster move while casting, unaffected by slows, or 5 passive points

[tidal copper]

Correct

[dry haven]

ive looked at fulminating elixer poison before as its large range of dmg could lead to some mean poisons

[wet mango]

The base crit becomes 15% but I'm not sure what the difference between your descriptions is

[shell temple]

I mean my bloodmage crit rate of skills it around 74% so it’s not too bad

[dry haven]

depends on the spells but getting a 10% base crit bonus is HUGE on some skills

[lime narwhal]

does anyone have some recommendations for end game ice monk build guides that are realistic in their costs. Just wanna sus some vibes

[torpid gorge]

Guys, can someone please help me understand something?

I got Withering Presence currently equipped, however, I see there is a Wither Away notable passive which claims the following: *"Unwithered enemies are Withered for 8 seconds when they ender your presence." *

Does this mean that I can drop the Withering Presence aura and rely only on Wither Away to apply Withering effects to enemies?

[crisp star]

1st description was me asking something along the lines of how does spell base crit chance work. since base crit chance is 5%. if a spell does lets say 12% crit hit chance. does it take the 12% crit hit chance as it's base crit hit chance or does it do a 5% + 12% on it?

so in that case that means that bloodmage turns 5% + 12% into 15% + 12%?

[tidal copper]

You'll need to test that node cause wither stacks up to 15?
And I don't know the rate at which that node works

[crisp star]

but after the answer earlier and some testing on my end

guess it's not worth taking it depending on the spell you plan on using it on.

[torpid gorge]

thnx for the reply ❤️

[graceful elk]

Hey guys! I just had a question about "andvarius gold ring" I have one that is + 74% rarety and - 17 to all resist. Is it something worth using? Currently stared maps lvl 69

[crisp star]

this only applies 1 stack of wither upon entering. doesn't go up

i have this and i need to use another wither stacker on top of it

[tidal copper]

It also says "unwhitered enemies"
Like what does it whiter only once

[crisp star]

it just basically increases the duration the wither lasts

you pretty much just take it for the 20% increased withered effect

[torpid gorge]

So technically, it only applies a stack of Wither and thats it. Kind of makes sense since it lasts 8 seconds compared to a refreshed 4 seconds you get with Withering Presence.

On the other hand, for how fast combat starts to be as you get closer to endgame, I'm not even sure its worth waiting for Withering Presence to stack up to 10 times so you can get the full effect. It could be a better idea to have a flat % as the enemy dies within 2 secs of you being next to them anyway ( providing you got sufficient dmg to dish out )

[crisp star]

yep pretty much it. best it can do is prolong wither duration on a max stack

and it's not even much by the time you get to max stack

[dry haven]

when using flicker strike do you count as stationary?

[wet mango]

Wdym base crit is 5%, the base crit is dependent on the spell/weapon

In your example your base crit without bloodmage node is just 12% not 12+5

[crisp star]

yep that's what i wanted to clarify. cause i'm confused af with the spell base crits

cause unlike weapon where the base crit is clearly written out on the weap. spells have varying base crits

thanks for clarifying now i've made my decision lol

[wet mango]

Right so it's same as weapon

Weapon crit: based on weapon, spell crit: based on spell

[open juniper]

does that node helpa at all?

is it any useful?

[wet mango]

Wither away will only apply 1 stack since it only works on unwithered enemies

[dry haven]

man if you could get infernaist to do some regular crits it could be wild, just looked and you can get like 300% crit hit dmg before any stats on your tree/gear

besides helm maybe, pain attunment would be nice for it and idk if its still on tree

[wet mango]

It only would increase the duration of that first stack

[hasty nebula]

Can someone tell me how much my I should aim for and what the best build for it is?

[wet mango]

WP doesn't just refresh after 4 seconds it will build up multiple stacks of wither

Or did they change it in poe2? In 1, each wither stack tracks duration independently

[wet mango]

Well it gives you an extra corruption

Up to you if that's useful or not

[opaque horizon]

Has anyone messed with Archmage Ember Fusillade? Stack less duration and aoe I guess?

[wet mango]

Not a trade discord

[fierce coyote]

Well where is? Because I can’t even communicate with the people on the trade site

[lost onyx]

You received any party invites after you whispered them?

[wet mango]

You whisper them in game

From the listing

[fierce coyote]

It always says the name doesn’t exist

[wet mango]

Also, the 1ex listings are price fixing

Pretty sure it's at least several ex

[wet mango]

Yeah cuz they probably have DMs turned off

[open juniper]

so it removes my first corrupt and puts another one

just wandering how it workes

cuz i heard something about double corrupted maps

[wet mango]

No

It adds a corrupt

[wet mango]

Yep, that's this node

[open juniper]

hm, i noticed it changed my map

just tested that

[opaque horizon]

There is not enough reduced skill effect duration on the tree and where it is stinks. Every class should have a cluster close by.

[errant agate]

how many skillpoints am I supposed to have at lvl89? I seem to be missing a few

[hybrid ocean]

Do you have 24 weapon set points?

[spare quartz]

I've sent over 100 whispers trying to get a jewel i want this morning, all within seconds of posting. Zero, responses. What the hell

[tidal copper]

Within seconds?
Oh no

[thin basin]

@snow sierra @dawn spire have u guys encoutner this bugs where temp rift doesnt reset your mana/hp?

[spare quartz]

It's impossible to buy a jewel, been here for 6 hours trying. The get posted one every couple minutes too

[dawn spire]

it doesn't reset your mana/life, it takes it back to where it was at your earliest afterimage

[errant agate]

yeh

[thin basin]

thastw aht i mean

[spare drift]

anyone knows what a good support gem that goes well with combat frenzy on a lightning ranger build?

[thin basin]

im at full mana, cast some stuff, get to half, trift, doesnt go back to full

[modern quest]

You are likely trying to buy a specific jewel that has alot of demand for too little currency

People who post jewels get spammed if they are less than market value

[dawn spire]

nah, haven't experienced that. There is a bug where it just won't activate if it has spirit supports that sum to more than your available spirit tho

[snow sierra]

ye, i had some funcy interactions in breach here and there but didnt bother to look into it. i never had it not work on a boss or something tho

[tidal copper]

If you send within a couple minutes they will think you are sniping a good price and make it more expensive
The sweet point it's at 15~ minutes

[thin basin]

i have it clipped

happend multiple times

[spare quartz]

Yeah but they aren't even undervalued. It's someone monopoly'ing the market buying them all

[errant agate]

I do, so I should be good. I just thought I couldve reached a few nodes by now but I mustve miscalculated

[spare quartz]

They drop every minute, someone is posting a new jewel with quiver bonus. They get bought instantly and reposted for several divine

[tidal copper]

It doesn't matter people are simple if they get a fast ping they re price

[spare quartz]

They are only being deemed valuable because there are bots buying thousands of them a day to control the market

[opaque horizon]

skill effect duration does not affect embers fusillade hover time and that is strange. Why would they hard code that.

[tidal copper]

Likely

[snow sierra]

oh we are back to bots that auto buy items nice...tbh guys if you wrote a bot that had to trade in poe2 it would just off itself after the first 30 trades not responding

[spare quartz]

And it's BS because they are forcing you to buy divines from them to get the item

[opaque horizon]

Ember fusillade also has awful targeting. It seems to fire at environmental stuff instead of the closest enemy or strongest enamy. so you can be in a boss arena and it fires at a house?

[spare quartz]

I've only seen 1 Divine drop on my level 88, so it being such a casual currency for just 1 single jewel, is a bunch of BS

[opaque horizon]

I've had 4 divine at 78. RNG stinks sometimes.

[thin basin]

instapm = relist for most people

hence i wait atleast 3 mins

ez

sent u guys the clip

[snow sierra]

1 divs is nothing anymore for a good item in the current econemy, you can get insane items for a few ex, but the rly good items will rise and rise more

[brisk glade]

Unfortunately the whole market is going badly due to people abusing bugs and similar

[snow sierra]

if you want a perfect item you gootta pay like the perfect ppl they make over 10 divs an hour so you gotta do to

[thin basin]

@dawn spire@snow sierrapeep it yet?

its ruining my combo

[dawn spire]

peep what?

[thin basin]

pm you the bug clip

[wet mango]

Then "several div" is the price

[snow sierra]

It did reset

you just had low mana at the point

where it resett too

[thin basin]

no i was full then did my combo, then reset

i shouldve gone back to full

i reset twice in that clip

[dawn spire]

what is temporal rift linked to?

[thin basin]

cdr thats it

[snow sierra]

it resets like 8 sek

8sek before you are at half something mana

[spare quartz]

Well my desperate alliance vase seems popular at least, guess i posted it top cheap for 1 div maybe but at least i got me 1 divine for the day

[native burrow]

With how expensive Blasphemy is in terms of Spirit, i feel the the 47% curse effect reduction feels really harsh

[snow sierra]

and it resets to exactly that stage

[dawn spire]

it's definitely not working as intended in the clip I saw

[thin basin]

2nd image is POST reset

[dawn spire]

https://streamable.com/uf9r6n

[snow sierra]

hä ?

its your weapon swap mate

you had 3,3k mana

at that point

its resets to exatly that value

[thin basin]

it work like that for weap swap?

ahahahah

[dawn spire]

yeah, whatever value you had at that time

[snow sierra]

it resets to a value not the %

[dawn spire]

no matter what

try going lower than 3.3k, should go back up to that amount

[thin basin]

hmmm not sure how to counter that

[dawn spire]

as long as you don't need more than 3.3k mana that should be fine, right?

or just time it differently

use rift before you finish the full combo

[thin basin]

oh chances are its my temp chain, i precast and stay in weap swap for along time

noted

[snow sierra]

and seen that yes archemage surely gets nerfed maybe even mana tempest and spark on top of it^^

[thin basin]

yep, easy way to test, weap swap, stay for 4s, swap abck, reset, my mana goes to 3.3k

archemage -2% and some LC numbers nerf i see it

[soft latch]

Is it better to enhance it with cold quality or lighting quality ?

and lightining attacks benefits form lightining modifier or maybe from attack modifiers ?

[twilit obsidian]

does anyone know if you can increase the quality of quivers and if you can add sockets to them?

[stone mortar]

despair doesnt increased hexblast dmg right? because hexblast is a payoff skill that consume the curse to cause dmg

[proven loom]

9622 dps decent for lvl66 ranger? im still in a3 cruel

[frosty arrow]

will thorn damage trigger while blocking with a shield?

[snow sierra]

I want patch notes man...the knowledge that the changes will be big totaly paralizes me with starting a new char

[shrewd raptor]

does anyone know why my warriors minions have no damage? if it matters im running last gasp, maim, and heft

[bronze skiff]

Which do u guys think is better the polcirkeln ring or the call fot he brother hood

[sleek gazelle]

can someo,ne help me in dm

[thin basin]

i also want a patch notes but for differnt reason, they better add a map tab

[shell cedar]

should i just take mana regen and +5attribute as a gemling howa tempest flurry

[pearl sluice]

currently i have 1.3k mana and about 150 mana regen / sec. my spell costs 450 mana, and is expected cost a lot more ? probably up to 600? 700? how do i get enough regen? I guess around 350 regen it would work, but i dont know, how can u get to that? I already went for some mana regen nodes, have 50% regen on chest, and so on. how to get more?

[hollow lagoon]

does "increased flask charges gained" like works with mods like this?

[peak slate]

is there a way you can do refund all passive points :/

[karmic dome]

Pretty sure you have to manually do it, TaxMan.

[midnight bolt]

unspec mind over matter

[rose epoch]

anyone who is familiar with the maxroll planner what to the white lines mean? I am looking at one that has the normal red+ green for weapon sets but also has some white ones as well.

[midnight bolt]

yes, and it is extremely strong

[hollow lagoon]

oh shiiit thanks

[pearl sluice]

i dont have it

i really dont know how to get more than this

[analog panther]

Question, if I use ming's ring, which converts all elemental damage to chaos damage, do passive that like give +x% fire, or cold or elemental dmg get converted? I mean will it stack or not?

[midnight bolt]

stack more mana then, usually around 2-2.5k u wont have any issues unless u use MoM

[radiant thorn]

I recently switched my inoker build from using life and ES, to using CI and only ES. I wanted to know if you my effective HP has improved. Before I changed I had 2k life and 1k ES, all resistances at 75% and 80% evasion. Now I have 4k ES, all resistances at 75% (immune to chaos) and 25% evasion. Have I improved my effective HP or not

[midnight bolt]

invest in flasks with belt+passives, u can perma press them even on bosses

[alpine summit]

yesterday i found a really good build and at the end of the video he showed he was hacked before uploading the video

im sad now and my year is ruined

[idle garnet]

https://gyazo.com/bffc8afc1130f9da1c59bd05a81c375f.gif

Bro demolished larry the bird

:sigh

[fast scarab]

I finally got to choosing an Ascendancy for Witch. And I have commitment issues so I want to restart anyway (I won’t (I’ve come too far)) but is Bloodmage worse than the Flame Ascendancy?

[thin basin]

u havent seen stormweaver version then

[tidal copper]

Depends™
Choose for the build you want to play

[snow sierra]

no not worse it has issues tho

[thin basin]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_3EBcciMK4
hardest boss in the game btw

[snow sierra]

if you dont have a plan what to do with bloodmage dont choose it

[alpine summit]

im playing hexblast crit on bloodmage

i get up to 300k dps on bosses

which is okay on pinnacle

also there's a bonestorm crit build which seems to be better

but expensive

[snow sierra]

or you just go dd

[celest oxide]

Is it worth to buy Greater Essences when trying to roll Max Fire Res on a Life Regen ruby

or am I better off spamming Regals

[alpine summit]

yeah, detonate dead is brain dead

you melt everything

[tidal copper]

Dd archmage the good ol' classic

[hazy olive]

what does "gain 1 energy per power of enemies you critically hit, modified by the % of enemies ailment threshold the critical hit will deal"?

[midnight bolt]

gone in 5 days

[thin basin]

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

this ones better

[tidal copper]

If you alt over power I think it should mention that part
% of ailment threshold is hidden I think

[thin basin]

just 1 eow cast

[idle garnet]

https://tenor.com/view/barba-branca-gif-26177073

[hazy olive]

could you explain what % of ailment threshold the critical hit will deal means?

[pearl sluice]

where are the enchants coming from ? like the implicit enchants on rings

[rough aurora]

Does anyone know if you can get +3 Level of Projectile Skills on Quiver via Vaal?

[atomic halo]

corruption (vaal orb)

[pearl sluice]

ohh ok

[snow sierra]

what is the first level you can gamble a widowhail ?

[dire mantle]

im doing an all grenades/aoes build with my merc (lvl 47). current notables are
-repeating explosives (15% chance for grenades to explode a second time)
-Volatile grenades (25% reduced fuse duration)
-Cluster bomb (+1 projectiles to grenade skills, +50% fuse duration)
-Grenadier (+1 to cooldown use of grenade skills)
-Overwhelm (+40% damage with 2hand weapons, +20% stun buildup, -5% attack speed)
-Colossal weapon (+15% area of affect for attacks, +10 str)
-Heavy ammunitions (+40% projectile damage, +40% projectile stun buildup, -5% attack speed)
-Volatile catalyst (+10% increased area of effect, +10% cooldown recovery rate)
Ascendancy skills: Zealous inquisition, pitiless killer.

i don't really know what to go for anymore as i seem to have all the grenade nodes available. any tips would be welcome

[manic grail]

I'm running CI
I have 75 all res
5000 ES
why do I feel like I'm still getting 1-shot by even the most basic mobs
I'm confused on what the hell I'm missing

monk/invoker, also using wind dancer and ghost shroud

[snow sierra]

5000ES is kinda low if something hits you

[manic grail]

am also using grim feast, but that's fair enough but... how do I increase it exactly...?

[snow sierra]

i got oneshot with 22k ES ^^

[odd forge]

hi, what do you put in sockets of hands of wisdom and action, i am torn between ele and chaos

[snow sierra]

Better gear, or getting some ES notes. I am not expert on Monk gearing tho, i just know somestuff in the game hits insanely hard

Like no clue how a life build, or assumed nerfed ES build are supposed to tank those

[pearl sluice]

Hey, a eye of winter for maximum crit chance, which support gem should I use for maximum of the crit debuff?

I thought about the one that make it slow, but only that

[snow sierra]

i run unleash scattershot and deceleration on mine

[pearl sluice]

Nice, I'll give it a look, thanks!

[olive ibex]

Does anybody know of a ranger leveling build (Act 2 lvl 27)? I use gas arrow right now but lack boss dmg quite hard. Am looking to transition over to ice, since theyhave spells i find cool. But no idea what would actually be good. Any suggestions?

[ruby chasm]

for poison gas arrow pf i should put iron runes on my bow right?

[stark lance]

What would you guys say is the cheapest strongest build to make

[slender edge]

howdy gamers, I need some help with Witch. I'm kind of just maxing chaos and spell damage but I would like to get more creative with, what are my fellow descipable ones doing?

[snow sierra]

DD and Minions, like allways not fast but strong

[hollow galleon]

Just read the patch notes. Glad they are nerfing warrior at last.

[shrewd kernel]

Would a tree like this (not this exactly) where Monk traverses to the Str/Int side of the tree

[manic grail]

what patch notes, there havent been any since the 17th of dec

[olive ibex]

Could somebody look over my build and help me make it better? (Leveling)

[static plinth]

I would try to cut off the big arm reaching up top

[shrewd kernel]

Yea, I get that vibe too

this was just all the relevant ele nodes for a phys conversion monk

[static plinth]

6 travels and not even a jewel socket sucks

[shrewd kernel]

ooooh jewels

[static plinth]

Do you need all 3 elements what're you up to

Painter's Servant?

[shrewd kernel]

It's probably not as well thought out as that, but I wanted to hard focus in on Elemental Expression (the one monk spell) and find a way to scale phys and spell

so I figured scaling ele would help

[static plinth]

Oh that thing okay gimme a sec

[shrewd kernel]

I didn't consider jewels and the lack of weapon passives might be worth rethinking

Once swords come out, I might try to work them in too

[static plinth]

So i think you have two routes, either massively stat stack (ie like 500 strength and minimal int/dex) to weigh EE towards one of it's outcomes, or convert all your elemental damage to one type

You could for instance grab Original Sin and then all 3 EE outcomes deal pure chaos damage

Scaling all 3 of the elements equally kinda sucks

If you stat stack STR you could use Jarngreipr which works for everything but support gems

[zealous bison]

So I am running a Shattering Concoction build and was wondering if off hand has any play in the damage of the skill.

[shrewd kernel]

interesting, alright

Converting all of the bell's dmg to chaos would be different

man I want POB

[still rock]

time to learn math bud

[pallid forum]

ok so which minion build is easier to make for a new player? reavers or frost mages? just finished cruel campaign

[still rock]

minion ai looks awful i pray for yall

[static plinth]

What else is new

[runic creek]

What's the difference between "gains damage as x" and "gains damage as EXTRA x" ?

[still rock]

where are your defenses

[static plinth]

Just roll

[still rock]

[thin basin]

they cant damage you if theyre dead

[still rock]

my Titan blaster passed the drunk test last night which means im tanky enough to play t16s after 8 whiskeys

[austere dew]

is going for crit on a sorceror good?

[sand kelp]

does Infernal Flame on Infernalist interact with your mana flask like at all? or does it just brick the slot?

[slender edge]

anyone run one mega-minion?

[snow sierra]

lol what is a mega minion ?:P

[shrewd kernel]

I'm not crazy enough to spec that tree yet, still just theory

I'm assuming it'd be Life and ES mostly

[snow sierra]

did you find a skill to transform all minions into one ? MEEEGA MINION MODE !

[rugged kraken]

So im currently working on a fireball multi projectile build so Im usually throwing like hundreds of fireballs a few seconds and they all have high crit. Why would I use cast on critical over just 2 different cast on ignites? its 100 spirit and it looks like less energy build up?

[slender edge]

no but that would be fun lol

[shrewd kernel]

given a focus on the int stat it'd work with a big ES

[golden sluice]

Should I throw fire wall on my lighting monk?

[snow sierra]

so no there is no way atm to buff one minion to a extrem amount

[craggy dune]

anything here thats good for a build?

[golden sluice]

Dose falling thunder count ad projectile

[craggy dune]

amulets seem bad

[slender edge]

I crie

[craggy dune]

or do i just take whatever

[gaunt ether]

Could check market if theres something worth a lil bit

[craggy dune]

all show up as 1 exalt lol

[gaunt ether]

But usually the guy has nothing for me lol

Yeah thats the way it goes

[velvet blade]

Since the notable "Heave Buffer" works with CI, would the support gem "Extraction" also work?

[sinful spoke]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/l71dz401

looking for some fresh pair of eyes on this build. Mainly to see if theres any more efficient pathing 🙏

[pearl sluice]

Anyone Knows how to calculate crit chance?

And the eye of winter add to the crit base chance?

[upper viper]

Drop me a DM if you get more confused. Its confusing keeping track here in chat XD

[upper viper]

Im not sure how to calculate it. Other than it goes from Flat crit on your weapon. And scales with that, else just check your skill crit-chance. After adding what you need to add 😄

[pearl sluice]

Oh, I want to know how to calculate it, because I'm using eye of winter on my warrior with cast on ignite

[shrewd kernel]

Elemental Expression Crit Monk (Str/Int) update: https://maxroll.gg/poe2/passive-tree/fl16mt0v

[pearl sluice]

And I want to know how much of crit chance I'll get with the crit chances

[upper viper]

Someone smarter than me, will help than. But else just add the eye of winter. Press g and expand the windows. Use what you need, and see the crit chance scale yourself 🙂

[pearl sluice]

The eye of winter will debuff my enemy, not buff me lol, but I really appreciate your words, it means a lot someone tried to help

[shrewd kernel]

is this enough crit hit

[upper viper]

Gotta see what one can do, if someone else doesnt pop in. 😄

[static plinth]

Not remotely

[shrewd kernel]

hah bet

[static plinth]

You most likely need at least 500% increased

[pearl sluice]

Yes, a lot, now please teach me hpw to calculate 😦

[shrewd kernel]

from tree?

[static plinth]

Not necessarily

[pearl sluice]

That's for sure man

[static plinth]

But that's also assuming a 20% flat crit rate

You want to be at at least 95%

[upper viper]

Im guessing, almost 600% procent on archmage is pretty good?
Only used archmage once before in poe1

[winter zephyr]

Someone know where to farm this pls ?

[static plinth]

Anything that drops items

(everything)

[winter zephyr]

Nothing have higher chance ?

[static plinth]

No

Besides stuff that drops more items

[winter zephyr]

Yeah obviously

Thank for that

[static plinth]

Its only 1ex on trade though

If you're not SSF

[snow sierra]

or you can chance bases in hope to get it

[winter zephyr]

Yeah but no one want to trad me

[static plinth]

That too, its probably super common for chancing

[winter zephyr]

What is chance ?

[static plinth]

Orbs of Chance

[shrewd kernel]

that is a 20ex ring, people listing for 1ex are price fixers

[static plinth]

You get them from disenchanting uniques

[static plinth]

Why it looks like dogshit

[winter zephyr]

Okay good info tk

[shrewd kernel]

It enables the duo herald tech for low dmg builds

[winter zephyr]

Are this difficult to get ?

[static plinth]

Cant relate i make functional builds

[shrewd kernel]

and scales well until like uber late game

[snow sierra]

disenchanting uniques 1 per unique

[static plinth]

Or 2 per if it has 6 or more mods

[shrewd kernel]

not to mention shattering off of your ascendency's chilled ground is fun as a monk

[winter zephyr]

Ok and i need to use one what item to get the ring i want

[static plinth]

Sapphire Ring

[winter zephyr]

Okay

Thank

[shrewd kernel]

chance orbs are like 7ex, you can just buy it cheaper than your odds of hitting it on two slams

[winter zephyr]

I see

[static plinth]

But you could gamble and hit it big

[shrewd kernel]

unless SSF ig

GAMBA

[winter zephyr]

What is SSF ?

[static plinth]

Solo self-found

No party play, no trade

[winter zephyr]

Yeah ok i dont get any abbreviation

[mellow shell]

Is there a way for minions to take agro? Like aggressively, so enemies focus is on them first always. Haven't seen it myself..

[mystic shard]

Damnit, so boosts to items energy shield (like body and helmet) is calculated AFTER the final maximum boost.

Really?

That fucking sucks....

[upper viper]

anyone know is spell crit chance, works with archmage ?

[steel sky]

As warrior when u get giants blood. I know mace strength requirements triple. Do shield requirements triple too? Feel like they shouldn’t since they are one hand.

[sonic peak]

anyone knows if ghost dance recovers the ES before or after the hit dmg is applied?
https://poe2db.tw/Ghost_Dance

as in, if I had 0 ES and took a 100 dmg hit, and ghost shroud would recover 200 ES, would I take any health dmg?

[upper viper]

i dont think giants blood counts for shields. Isnt it only these mentioned ?

[static plinth]

Shields dont get tripled because they're not weapons

[upper viper]

dont think it scales on how much damage you take. It scaled on your evasion, and it will do it after being hit 🙂

[static plinth]

If you wield a spear while you have giant's blood it would get tripled though

[sonic peak]

yeah I know, just wanted to know if it applied b4 or after the hit

[steel sky]

@upper viper ahh it does say that. Thanks. I went to a public school. Apparently reading comprehension isn’t my strong suit haha

[upper viper]

Should be after 😉

[sonic peak]

k, thx

[upper viper]

think i heard phox say that when explaing his setup

[sonic peak]

phox? I'm guessing it's for some build guide?

[upper viper]

Its his invoker, but he used ghost dance as well at some point. Think he switched to meditate now tho

Phox is well know for RF builds on POE1

He as ALOT of es recovery XD

[sonic peak]

ah, I'm not following any specific guides
just trying to find ways to make my 'full evasion acrobatics' pconc tankier

[upper viper]

Of course, but you can check out other peoples builds and also compare. Make your build way better 😉

Thats what i do most of the time, compare. Change, improve

[winter zephyr]

Guys i can't use orb of chance on ring because the ring don't spawn in normal rarity

[upper viper]

with almost 600 INT. THis node makes me happy :3

[olive ibex]

Could somebody look over my build and help me make it better? (Leveling)

[upper viper]

What kinda build is it 🙂

[honest peak]

yo is the ice shot ranger build that dependent on crit?
