2┃build-planning

[fair widget]

Yeah both are important, its just that one is more common than the other, and also it sounds way more than the actual magnitude of it

[distant aspen]

how screwed are demon form builds if you took the act quest rewards that increase your HP already?

[marsh river]

does fire exposure have an icon on enemy?

[latent sinew]

why does profane ritual take me out of demon form on infernalist?

[fair widget]

not that bad but kinda rough i guess

[distant aspen]

how rough would you say it is?

I'm debating between reworking my character and just making a new one

if it would make that much of a difference

[proud sorrel]

Any way to get chance to ignite on base mace attack?

[atomic halo]

all fire damage has a chance to ignite

there is no flat chance to ignite ("+#% chance to Ignite"), it's all based on ailment thresholds

[proud sorrel]

okay, so applying a support with 25% damage as fire damage will do the job?

[atomic halo]

the 25% might not be enough to consistently apply the ailment

but it all depends how much damage you're doing relative to the enemies' ailment thresholds (based off of maximum life)

[proud sorrel]

so the more the fire damage, the greater the chances? ignoring passives

okay ty

[atomic halo]

more fire damage dealt, yeah

[sage tulip]

Hello I am doing a Lightning Merc build and was wondering what is more important on my crossbow, Physical damage or lightning damage ? Just curious since the lightning skills converts physical to lightning damage.

[atomic halo]

physical because the numbers can get bigger

[median kraken]

Yes. Even taking passives into account, those just increase your chance to ignite relative to the damage. Like if you gave 100% increased chance to ignite, then if you would deal enough damage to normally have 25% chance to ignite, you'll have 50% chance instead

[proud sorrel]

ty

[atomic halo]

lightning is just going to be flat lightning, which is cool but phys can get % phys which scales all the base damage of your crossbow

so focus on phys and get lightning as secondary

[sage tulip]

ahh ok so the skill converts the damage off the crossbow damage and then the percentage bonuses apply after, ok thank you. I was wondering what runes to put on the crossbow

[atomic halo]

they apply first, directly to the weapon's damage rolls

actually i just wrote something that might explain this https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/User:Bloonpauper/Damage

the examples use maces but it works exactly the same for crossbows

[sage tulip]

ok thank you

[atomic halo]

and you use iron runes if the weapon has a lot of base phys

if not there's other stuff like elemental damage with attacks

flat lightning runes are mid because their numbers are quite low and dont really scale

[sage tulip]

ok so physical is better, just wondering cause I know the higher the lightning damage the better shock chance I have. my whole build is around shock and lightning damage

[atomic halo]

your skill converts to lightning does it not

so more phys = more lightning

[sage tulip]

it does just wondering when that application comes into play is all, but you answered it so it is after all the weapon modifiers so yes physical damage is better

If I understood you correctly

[atomic halo]

correct yeah

not 100% is converted (probably) so it's not strictly better

you just end up with more raw numbers if you focus on phys first

[rapid estuary]

right one?

[atomic halo]

are you CI or something, why are they both so unimpressive

[rapid estuary]

my luck suck ig?

[atomic halo]

do you want the mana on left?

[rapid estuary]

im at t8 maps now

no i choose it cuz of crit

[atomic halo]

do you really want the energy shield? do you use life?

[rapid estuary]

yeh need energy

got 1k hp and 1k shield will have much more when i get few more passive points

[atomic halo]

right is better if you dont care that much about the mana

plus you can add a rune

[sage tulip]

ok now a new question would I want % increased element damage with attacks on my weapon as well ?

[atomic halo]

thats a good modifier, yeah

[rapid estuary]

got lots of evasion too 😄

[atomic halo]

it's a lower priority than big phys rolls though

[sage tulip]

hmm ok just trying to max out my damage potential since I would drop the lightning damage modifier so replacing it with %increased element damage is better got it.

[atomic halo]

both are good, it depends on the tiers

[sage tulip]

ahh ok

so out of these 2 which one would be the better choice ?

just went with the 2 cross bows that had high stats so I have an idea what is better, sorry for all the questions but would really like to know\

this is last question honest Bloon lol

[inland lava]

anyone have an opinion on good anoints for cold builds?

im running Witchhunter, using Call of the Brotherhood with Galvanic Blast and Herald of Ice

right now eyeing

• Glaciation (18% pen, 25% Cold Exposure effect)
• Climate Change (20% Freeze buildup, gain 25% of Cold as Added Fire vs Frozen)
• or Essence of the Mountain (gain 5% of Damage as Added Cold, 20% Freeze buildup)

no Path of Building means i dunno what's good

[rapid estuary]

i like right one more 🙂

[sage tulip]

thank you ok so now I know what to shoot for why did they have to change the math from poe1 to poe2

[rapid estuary]

wish i got really good unique D:

[pearl sluice]

Someone just messaged me to buy this jewel for 2 divine. What was so special about this?

[velvet blade]

Decent mods, but you could also add another mod for 1 exalt and make it even more valuable

[full cipher]

guys is the block just work when i use raise shield or work just when hold shield ?

[rapid estuary]

i guess they really need mana haha

[rapid estuary]

when u raise

[sterile stone]

block chance is always all direction, raise block is 100% chacne to block fromt that direction

[full cipher]

so better use my 2 points to reach to fear of death or wide barrier anysuggest

[sterile stone]

those 2 are very unrelated

[full cipher]

i know but i i have 2 points to spend idk what should igo more accuracy for minion or increase block

[sterile stone]

depend on what minion you use

theres might be better point to unspec to take these 2 point that you ss

[full cipher]

i'm useing fire build so arcnoist and raging spirts ,storm mages

[rapid estuary]

this any good at all?

[sterile stone]

then you want that accuracy node

[full cipher]

ok ty ❤️

[sterile stone]

25% reduced defense is a good tradeoff for 30% block chance, assuming ES build you get a ton of es increased from the tree

• grim feast jack load of es

[cyan isle]

Real quick question....
With Monk, is the basic idea to keep Int and Dex roughly 50/50?

[full cipher]

i think acc good for me cus most time i forget use the raise shield skill so for now

[sterile stone]

just enough to use everything you need, also and depends on what bonus you want from the stat int mana or dex accuracy

[full cipher]

but sometimes ifeel my minions didn't do any dps just idk where can check my minions dps 😄

[sterile stone]

the 30% block chance are all the time without raise shield

raise shield gives you 100% block from direction youre facing

[full cipher]

ah just confused cuz someone up told me u need raise for block

[sterile stone]

try read the skill description and the underlined words

the wiki is also already contain basic/common information https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Block

[full cipher]

yh i see now rly srry i'm not good in eng i'm still learning xD

so now i should chose mre chance more def vs some accu for minions more dps ummmm

[sterile stone]

if you want more surv theres also frost mage that freezes enemies and not needing accuracy

[full cipher]

u mean infenalist cold build wanna try it but i'm afried to swape build after all i spend 😄

[sterile stone]

its the same gear, just different sets of gem

[full cipher]

so it's best than fire build u think ?

[rain dust]

What's the point of dodge rolling if you can just get body blocked into the attack anyway

[sterile stone]

idk about saying something is a "best" all minion have pros and cos, but its easier on the eyes and freezes monster

[rain dust]

It's kinda stupid to dodge roll just to get pushed around and bounced into the attack regardless.

[full cipher]

umm it's worth to try the build with just 3 links gem to see ?

[sterile stone]

needs more tuning for sure but monster blocking is by designed

same in poe 1

thats why theres blink and roll phase

[sterile stone]

lesser orb are now very very cheap, and you can vaal to get 5L

[full cipher]

lol is vaal orb hav chance to upgrade from 3 link to 5 ?

[sterile stone]

+1 link, so you need to lesser it 1st

[full cipher]

u make me excited to try it i'll give it try rly ty for ur time and info

[shy ermine]

how do you compensate losing so much mana as deadeye

[median kraken]

Does Mahuxotl's round down per soul core (e.g. is there no difference between 500% increased effect and 600% increased effect for 2% mana soul cores?)

[sage tulip]

ok I just got an unidentified tier 2 item what does that mean ?

it was a helm

[median kraken]

It means it can't have really low tier mods when you unidentify it. Tier goes up to 5, the higher the tier, the higher the minimum mod tier/level

[sage tulip]

ohh nice

[median kraken]

Basically, better odds that it'll be good when you unidentify it. No guarantee, just more likely

[dire junco]

can someone explain how this works ?
Image
the 26% thing should apply to att nodes or ?

[pearl sluice]

I stil cant figure how to search for the +level of skill jewel gem in trade

Theres only number to write in the box

Same for megalomaniac jewel

How do u find it ?

[median kraken]

You can't

Right now the trade site doesn't support searching for mods that have a variable that isn't a number. So for things like Prism of Belief where it has a variable that isn't a number (the skill), there's no way to search for a specific value (skill)

[thorny token]

well you can search for the number

https://poe2db.tw/us/Prism_of_Belief#TradeSearch poedb has utility for it

so its at least somewhatpossible, there are other jewels where even the base search is missing so just straight up impossible

[gray crag]

guys how does this jewel work? what are those values?

[pearl sluice]

Thanks bro that works

[hazy olive]

can spells triggered by meta gems trigger the same meta gem that triggered the spell?

[thorny token]

no

[hazy olive]

what about other meta gems of the same type?

[thorny token]

i think it says somewhere that trigerred spells simply cant generate any energy no

[hazy olive]

:((

[sterile stone]

the number are simply seed number, just a random number, it changes node that are under the radius of timeless jewel, each type of timeless have different effects on the nodes

different seed changes the node differently

https://poe2db.tw/Timeless_Jewel

wait is this page even correct

ooohhh we only have heroic tragedy

[full cipher]

let's see alot of try for 4 link skill 😄

[sterile stone]

why do you need so many links for EoW and frostbite lol

i mean its nice if you can afford, sure

[lean patio]

how much is a three dragons worth?

messaged literally 20+ people and no one is down to trade??

[sterile stone]

prolly no more than 2, thats why no one reply bcs 2ex isnt worth their time unless theyre already in ho

sort by time posted

[full cipher]

rly i just do same like the build from maxroll 😄

[sinful verge]

Im running lightning build, ALMOST FUCKING PERFECT

Why it have to be fire

[quaint shale]

tryna build a dot prolif build. any suggestions on some skills and ascendancy for witch? so far using contagion, essence drain, and enfeeble but dont like how the enfeeble explosion has such a big delay

[viscid niche]

Need help with weapon swap blink. I weapon swap to Crest of ardura and bind blink on it. Still not lower CDR on the blink? Also what support skills are youg uys using?

[quaint shale]

can i get essence drain on a weapon?

[latent sinew]

what happens if you have pierce and fork?

[manic oar]

The curse DOT support lets you proliferate your curse, for some additional clear potential

[foggy crystal]

Between Gas Arrow (with ice conversion via corrupted Blueflame) and Ice Shot, which one is realistically easier to clear endgame with? I have lvl75 Gas Arrow Deadeye and I dropped Polcirkeln but I have hard time selling it for 1div. So now I'm considering switching to Ice Shot.

[gray crag]

is there a way to tell which seed number gives what kind of effects?

[manic oar]

Infernalist is probably your best bet for ascendancy on witch, with great survivability options and utility

[sterile stone]

it will pierce until it can no longer pierce then fork https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Projectile

[sterile stone]

not right now, there will be tools in the future where you can simulate this

[snow sierra]

aaahh i need patchnotes...i wanna make a new char

[sterile stone]

prolly at least a week or 2

i dont even think theyre working rn

[snow sierra]

well its no year now...so it could be in 1-2 days or in a week or two...need to know damit

[fair widget]

They're probably back to work today like everyone else

[sterile stone]

just something from a comment, at past new year, they back in office 10 days after

actually

sounds about right

[dreamy kindle]

what monk build is good for sanctum

[snow sierra]

mhh good to know maybe i have a week to roll poisen conc pathfinder

[dreamy kindle]

or do i have to make a ranger class

[snow sierra]

isnt this strange monk class the best sanctum runner ?

[sterile stone]

conc looks really good

[snow sierra]

with the shield ignoring honor ?

[dreamy kindle]

how

[snow sierra]

as far as i aware there is some monk shield thingy

that totaly ignores honor

[dreamy kindle]

??

whats the name

of the item

[snow sierra]

no item

ascendency

[sterile stone]

meditation?

[snow sierra]

no

[dreamy kindle]

there is no monk ascendency with that

[snow sierra]

darkness or something

[dreamy kindle]

u mean acolyte ascendency?

[snow sierra]

sorry i dont know mutch about monks, i just heard about it beeing totaly cheesy for sanktum

[snow sierra]

ah yes this

[sterile stone]

so instead of honor you reserve darkness(?)

[dreamy kindle]

how is that even good

[snow sierra]

the shield seems to shield honor

so if you get dmg in darkness you dont lose honor

[dreamy kindle]

+5 maximum darkness per level so its + 450 at lv 90?

it breaks after taking 550 dmg wouldnt it

cant even withstand a single hit

[snow sierra]

its 550 more dmg you can take in a no hit run

[dreamy kindle]

and mobs do thousands of dmg

[sterile stone]

this seems very untintended, im assuming honour loss is tied to damage taken, this should not makes you not take damage, bcs it only moves whats being lost

wait do you take honor loss if you blocked a damage?

[snow sierra]

no

[sterile stone]

ok so yeah seem seems a bug

aslo too op to be true

[snow sierra]

I only heard a few ppl say its insanly good for sanktum that all i can say

[dreamy kindle]

anywya im not aoc

so whats a good build for invoker

to do sanctum

[sterile stone]

honestly, imo, if you have speed and damage youre good, since youre on right side, my idea is to use queen of the forest, stack evasion and get inc defense boon, saw someone did this, but forgot the build

[dreamy kindle]

whats queen of the forest

[snow sierra]

do you plan on doing no hit runs ?

[dreamy kindle]

i mean if i get the relic

i want to do it

[sterile stone]

if you have 75% honor res its really not that hard other than the final boss bullshit mechanic

jesus just sell it unless youre god gamer

[snow sierra]

i guess then monk would be a bad pick

[dreamy kindle]

well guess ill sell then

[sterile stone]

you reallly dont wanna malee for that, you want 1 shot off screen

[dreamy kindle]

dang i wanna see the build

[snow sierra]

cause you gotta clear the sceen with one button or it will get way to risky

[dreamy kindle]

i mean ranger is right next to monk

so i was thinking a bow monk could work

the ascendency is better for monk too

[sterile stone]

youre risking loads of divs, also the price usually arent that much far bcs the runner pretty much almost always can done it

[sterile stone]

honestly anything that stack evasion

[dreamy kindle]

no i meant i wont do no hit run

but normal sanctum runs would it be better with a bow

[sterile stone]

aaahhh

[dreamy kindle]

is it per 500 base evasion

or after all increase

[sterile stone]

after all ofc

[dreamy kindle]

actually is that even good

20k evasion is only 40% ms

u could get a 35% boots + 5% on passive tree and its 40%

[sterile stone]

with more defense boon, and you cannot be slowed or whatever

boots doesnt work

[dreamy kindle]

i meant if i dont use that armour

a boots with 35% ms and 5% ms on tree would be the same as stacking 20k evasion

[sterile stone]

let me try to find the post

[dreamy kindle]

ight thanks

[sterile stone]

i shit you not, its fast

[dreamy kindle]

doesnt seem fast

also i guess using that armour means i cant use alot of my spirit gems

and ill lose alot of es

[fair widget]

Its qotf, its meant for stacking evasion so you get a ton of ms, you will lose out on other stuff with low investment

Most people only use it in specific farming builds where its stacking a bunch of evasion and killing everything before it touches you

[snow sierra]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKSRp9x3PYM

[dreamy kindle]

i meant like ur going pure evasion just to get 40% ms with 20k ev

where if u get a 35% boots and 5% on tree

thats the same thing no?

[fair widget]

They get more than that

[dreamy kindle]

how

[keen spindle]

guys question, does ingenuity increases the max 50% quality of the breach ring?

[dreamy kindle]

no

[keen spindle]

that suqs

[sterile stone]

wdym it sucks, quality umber isnt bonus lol

[serene isle]

Im lvl 70 with giant blood so I have 2h and shield, I aim to go to block cap, is it useful though?

[keen spindle]

higher base defense and atk for my gear?

[serene isle]

and how often do you raise shield, I don't have it binded as controller has limited slots

[fair widget]

getting high roll evasion on all their gear including rings etc

[dreamy kindle]

yea im saying 20k evasion is 40% ms

anyway its 8div dang

[fair widget]

yeah they get more than 20k

also those qotf builds are like 20-30div builds

[sterile stone]

no i mean the wording of belt doesnt implies anything that would alter quality in some way

since the quality arent effecting your caracter

[keen spindle]

but the ingenuity increases all ring stat, thats y im wondering if it increases breach rings implicit which is increasing max quality to 50%

[fair widget]

Quality isnt a bonus gained from ring

It specifically says increased bonuses gained from equipped ring

[keen spindle]

oh so not including the implicits then?

[sterile stone]

the wording really important bcs it says Gained, it does not modify the ring at all

[fair widget]

Your character doesnt gain anything from the quality of the ring

[sterile stone]

quality is not an implicit, quality is quality

[fair widget]

it works on other implicits that affects your character

but the quality implicit only affects the ring, not your character

[keen spindle]

ahh i understand

tnx for the clarification guys

[sterile stone]

also i cant found the post @dreamy kindle

[dreamy kindle]

its fine

[keen spindle]

i thought that the max quality at 50% meant that it also applies to gear

[dreamy kindle]

the armour is 8div

i aint buying that

[fair widget]

yeah its a t0 drop iirc

basically headhunter rarity

[sterile stone]

yep quality improves the stat on the gear, which effects your character, but you dont gain anything from the quality it self

[fair widget]

think of it this way, stats on gear * quality on ring = stats gained by char, then multiplied by ingenuity

[sterile stone]

this is similar case to immune to chaos but still can be poisoned, unless it said youre immuned to poisoned, the wording is very literal

[night pebble]

What should I instill on my amulet if I have a shockwave totem build?

[keen spindle]

very nice:)

[turbid schooner]

Yo

[keen spindle]

guys question, when using kalandras touch to mirror ur other ring, does ingenuity belt apply to that mirrored ring the same way it applies to the original ring?

[vague ravine]

DAYUM 3-70 mod is nuts

[vague ravine]

hm...honestly not too sure

because well

that implies I own an ingenuity and KALANDRAS TOUCH

memes aside, I would assume yes

[keen spindle]

bro they sooo expensive

[past dust]

does herald of ash do anything if I have radiant grief hood on?

[tiny sapphire]

Does this belt works with Chaos inoculation and mind over matter ?
If I take damage to my energy shield…do I get the recouped?

[shut dew]

@tiny sapphire yes

[burnt cairn]

anyone know why I cant equip this when I have enough stats?

[quasi pine]

boss tiles galore

[burnt cairn]

Game is saying I need more intelligence

but I have more than enough lol

nevermind I figured it out

[old shuttle]

was it giants blood?

also wtf are those resiistnaces. 5 cold oof

[tidal copper]

what

[old shuttle]

not tahat i know of

[thorny token]

maybe if you could reduce its aoe to 0 or negative :d stuff like that worked in poe1 when that was possible (like you could blasphemy yourself etc)

[supple jay]

can a charm boost a resistance past capped?

[median kraken]

No

[supple jay]

[viscid niche]

Someone can show me their "Budget blink" setup for weapon swap? Cant really get it to work, hear you can get 0.75s very easily

[potent ice]

does sorceress have any 'attacks'

[median kraken]

Well, sorceress can use any ability, so she can use attacks if you want to, but none of the sorceress skills are attacks

So for a typical sorceress build things that affect attacks are useless

[neon tundra]

If I'm using Ember Fussilade with Chain support gem and I have shot spell through Firewall does the projectile from chain gain +fire dmg and ignite or does it great new projectile?

[potent ice]

noted. thanks friend

[neon tundra]

With Pierce I thinl same projectile just goes through but not sure

[latent sinew]

Is there any way to get Pin on a skill other than the support gem?

[potent ice]

youre talking about like with spark

with spark when it passes through it removes a few electric sparks to replace them with a fire one

i dont think anything else does it like that

[hushed umbra]

There's unique boots.
Bushwhack lizardscale boots

[uncut jay]

Quick question - if my staff has 50 phys dmg and 100 lightning, how that applies to tempest tempest flurry where it "Converts 60% of Physical Damage to Lightning Damage". What happens to my starting lightning dmg ?

[pearl sluice]

breach on t14 + is quite tough

swarmed from all sides getting pinned and wrecked like shit

how do ppl farm that?

[languid mason]

I noticed that melee damage does increase the damage of my totems, but what happens with a talent like in your face, that does increase melee damage by 40% with hits in close range. Does it count for my totems? When they are in close range

[hoary ingot]

what would go with cast on ignite?

asking for friend

[north stump]

Two questions:

1. Is there anything that can be used to pick up remnants (such as those from Grim Feast or Mana Remnants) at a distance?
2. If I put overabundance and font of mana on orb of storms, then drop both orbs on top of each other and stand next to them, will I get double the bonus from Font of Mana?

[frail fable]

So who’s gonna bless me with my amulet

[vestal steppe]

what do you need

has anyone used these nodes? are they any good

[tiny jungle]

Is “increased lightning damage” better than “% of dmg as extra lightning dmg” on wands for spark?

[vocal mountain]

Anyone know a good cold mage minion witch build with ES?

[snow sierra]

Frostmages ? they are semi high investmet tho

gotta need ~5divs or something to make it work most likely

[vocal mountain]

i got 6 div

i just wanna see a good build like that. someone helped me with my 4th trial and was using a ES witch build with frostmages. looked insane.

[snow sierra]

Well you gotta have good crit jewels and the crit notes for them

[vocal mountain]

oh really

[jaunty flame]

4th trial is quite easy to do once you know how

I dont consider it a hallmark of a build

[vocal mountain]

lol did i say it was about the trial. no

[snow sierra]

I just done ultimatum and kicked the trialmaster i hate suckmas trial

[vocal mountain]

ill just block that other dude. im asking info about a build and this guy is trying to tell me how the 4 trial is ez. i dont care lol i asked about the build. man some people are weird as hell.

ill search somwhere else.

[mossy spade]

Any Titan folks I can discuss with?

[worthy mango]

Hi friends is there anyone who plays mercenary explosive grenade and explosive shoot if so is it possible to have a photo of his passive skill tree please

[analog patrol]

Hi. What support gen can I put in Herald of Plague?

[pearl sluice]

Hey, getting destroyed at T1 maps, I have damage, but it seems like every enemy can kill me in 2 or 3 hits, sometimes, 1 hit

What do I do? Is my resistance? My HP?

[jaunty flame]

Both

[tight raft]

guys, regarding prefix's - can you end up with a piece that have all 3 prefix with +evasion rating and/or +evasion %?

[pearl sluice]

I need to cap my resistance I think.
And HP, how much would be good

Im a warrior battlemage, str/int

[jaunty flame]

5k in total, hp and or e shield

75 for all resists

[pearl sluice]

Every piece of gear are able to get the HP and resistance affix?

Or I should look to put it on something

[jaunty flame]

Typically, we take increased energy shied nodes

Theyre basically life nodes

[pearl sluice]

Sorry for the bad image quality, but, there's my stats

[pearl sluice]

I took the energy shield and armor nodes from str/int tree

But I think isn't enough

[outer jackal]

Hey all I was trying for a full fire build but I also have 9k ES and I know I could go archmage and be doing bonkers lightning damage if I go eldritch battery.... is there any way to convert all lightning damage to fire that anyone knows of?

[sturdy saddle]

alot of people have been saying that armour isnt working properly atm so hopefully they can fix it soojn

[jaunty flame]

Your resistances need to be fixed first and foremost

Armor sucks too

Try e shield

[pearl sluice]

I should ignore armour and build all towards block and energy shield? But how I would be at front line without armor?

I'm using grim feast btw

[outer jackal]

I second what @jaunty flame said. It's super fun when you have 9-10k base es and your res is maxed and you are immune to chaos damage lol

[jaunty flame]

E shield is basically hp

Most people stack evasion and e shield

If you want to stack armor, you NEED a cloak of flames

[pearl sluice]

Ok, I'll focus first on the resistance.
Then HP and energy shield? I can use all int gear up to now, I can change all my items to it

[jaunty flame]

You want a hat

With 400 e shield or more base

Thats the ideal

Will take awhile to get

[pearl sluice]

And where can I farm exp? I'm having a bad time to get to 69

[jaunty flame]

Thats the fun part

Youre going to suffer for awhile

If you have some exalted you can trade for starter gear

With resists

[pearl sluice]

Ok, so, I need to keep on trying those t1 even getting killed, just for the gear and some exalted orbs?

[jaunty flame]

Yeah

[pearl sluice]

Ok, got it

Shit, that will be wild lol

Can I send you my passive tree? Should I respec some damage points for more survivability?

[outer jackal]

You can max res out for like 4-5 exalt.... I don't think I payed more than that and have 76% on everything minus chaos

[pearl sluice]

That's not a lot, I can get that

The resistance and hp can be found in every piece of gear?

[outer jackal]

I have mine on my belt, focus and some on rings

[pearl sluice]

Got it, I'll look for that, thanks guys

[orchid swift]

What spells yall recommend for blood mage ?

[snow sierra]

detonate death is a kinda carefree packed

[keen wagon]

Does the magnetic salvo still combo with like bolts from another sorceress player (coop)? I saw the patch notes seemed like they were specifically about not letting other arrows trigger it. Thanks!

[hazy olive]

how much energy does ice comet need to trigger meta skills

[narrow shoal]

finally all resistances capped, now i can focus on dmg

[crisp star]

there any way to stop projectiles from piercing aside from snakepit ring?

[cedar river]

Is there anything that Gemling Legionaire do better than other builds, or are they just jack of all trade?
I know they are used in stat stacking builds, but I've heard (might be false) that an Invoker might outperform them

[pearl sluice]

Dont take pierce % on tree

[burnt cairn]

anyone know a good way to add armour break to totems for warrior?

[crisp star]

but what if the one i want to stop from piercing is frostbolt

which always pierces?

[cosmic basin]

do bows count at two handed weapons for this?

[thorny token]

yes

[manic quest]

Does the passive "Echoing Flames" work with Herald of Ash overkill ignite?

[thin basin]

Shorterm goals: ingenuity 70%+ and that unique mana flask so i can maybe drop current amulet and grab gaze and ci

Is gaze even worth it if i dont plan on clicking any es nodes

[gray fiber]

hey, i got a problem I can’t filter for increased spirit on trade website??

[thin basin]

On what piece

Sceptre is %increase and gear is +spirit

[terse haven]

I am looking to use kill joy in a build but the On-Kill effects seem to be very inconsistent.

What i found doesnt work:

• Overkill effects
• Warcry explosion debuff
• Shatter explosion aoe
• Marks exploding on death
• Killing palm still only generates 1 power charge

What appears to work:

• Plague herald and pathfinder poison spread spreads 2 poisons at a time.
• On-kill mana and life gains.
• Cast on Kill meta gem stacks twice as fast
• Mantra of Destruction gets 2 purple flame of chayula stacks per kill (Still capped at 10 tho)

Haven't tested but not sure it means much:

• Chaos contagion should technically stack its damage twice as fast though kinda pointless considering its the essence drain that does the damage (not sure if the chaos dots that get spread also benefit from the 300% increase damage from contagion)
• Does killing my own minions trigger double death explosions from gems and/or Skeleton Arsonists I wonder
• Possibly the curse support gem (doomblast I think it's called) could trigger on cursed enemy deaths twice

All of this is interesting though I am not sure there is enough to go for to make a good build revolving around the double on-kill effect.

My build idea:
Chayula monk with double purple flame effect and duration. Use and maintain a 100% uptime on the 140% extra damage as chaos damage effect from having 10 flames stacked and use the cast on kill gem to charge it twice as fast and blow things up.

There is something there but I feel it needs just 1 or 2 more synergies to really feel whole

https://poe2db.tw/us/Killjoy

[thin basin]

Fextralife 😭

[terse haven]

Yeah sorry I'll replace the link with poedb

I'm not at my pc

[thin basin]

Destroying frostwall count for onkill effect iirc

And chonk flame doesnt reset per stack so you might have a hardtime keeping it at 10

[terse haven]

Replaced the link ^^ I had a feeling that was a bad idea.

Yeah it's tight but an interesting little mechanic is adding duration on Mantra of Destruction along with chayula double duration actually makes the flames last for over 20 seconds

If not for that I would have probably rather gone invoker or some other class all together

[worthy echo]

what would be the best build to use to try to get temporalis

[unkempt flicker]

guys how can i search for this in poe2trade?

[worthy echo]

well it says jewel

so maybe set item category to jewel and put its name in the top search bar?

[terse haven]

Anyone know of any other On-Kill interactions with Killjoy?

[thorny token]

could maybe try grim feast and killing own minions?

[grand tartan]

where can I check my physical damage?

[terse haven]

I'll have to test if killing your own minions work?

[thorny token]

yea

theres support tht allows you to do that and it works with lingering illusion for example. and i know grim feast also drops with sacrifice

so then just needs to be tested also with the doubling

[thin basin]

Details tab of whatever skill youre using

[thin basin]

Idt theres search option for this one currently

Just have to scroll and hope

[grand tartan]

so that node effects different on every skill instead of all of them at once?

[thin basin]

I would say yea depend on the skill? Some have more % than other

[terse haven]

Mhm possibly any other none minion ones?

[polar anvil]

Is the following good for a Lightning Sorc/Witch?

85% increased spell damage
116% lightning damage
33% spell hit chance?

On a Sigil of Power Staff

[hazy olive]

no..

you should give it to me!!

[polar anvil]

Is it that bad?

[thin basin]

i think you want wand/focus over staff

[hazy olive]

aaa i was just jk sorry

[polar anvil]

Oh okay, I'll still keep it when I do caster, might find another use for it, thanks!

[polar anvil]

All good no prob 🙂

[winged topaz]

Will sparks be gutted

[thin basin]

i think archmage/conversion/es will be hit over spark

[solid wraith]

does anyone want to help me in vc to finish my build

[vocal mountain]

does frost mage count as undead minions?

[lime narwhal]

why do people use cos instead of elemental invocation on monk? seems you can trigger from multiple sources of elemental damage

[thin basin]

invo need extra button press

cos is auto

[nova ember]

so, did anyone like saw some interesting unarmed stuff?

[old ermine]

Does anyone have any builds for Hexblast?

[old ermine]

Yes it does

[vocal mountain]

look up for bonk on youtube for hextblast. his build looks good

[vocal mountain]

oh alright

video is 2 days old

[torn jolt]

got this for 1 div what u guys think ?

[ocean elk]

i keep doing t15-t18 breaches stacked with rarity and quantity and 2 tiers of xesht tree and nothing really drops. i don't know why everyone says is good, im confused.
anyone has a similar experience with breaches?

[vocal mountain]

meh, stats are not great imo

[sharp cradle]

do you have magic find / are you corrupting

[ocean elk]

yea, i have 100% rarity on gear, and corrupting the maps

[blazing cove]

guys whats the best site for builds

[ocean elk]

what should really drop from breaches? in rituals there can be 7-8 divines items but in brech is only garbage on the g round

[sharp cradle]

idk I’m on t-10, really only seeing drops from rares and it is usually a few catalysts

[thin basin]

how much dps increase for a lightning build if u grab "15% more maximum lightning dmg" is u think? just 15%?

[sharp cradle]

ive noticed the rare chest/magic chest will spawn extra breach chests but nothing crazier than a normal corrupted

[sharp cradle]

you can look at your skill tab to determine

tbh 15% more max lightning damage may be better for a spell-caster, since most weapon skills are phys conversion, might be better off getting a lightening damage penetrates 6% resistance

[thin basin]

18k -> 20k max 0 tooltip increase

[midnight geode]

guys is this crit chance additive?

[wise gazelle]

is dps number on poe trade more accurate than in-game tooltip? 1 wp is 480 dps/24k on skill, the other is 423 dps/27k in game

[hushed umbra]

addative

[hushed umbra]

In game is awful

[midnight geode]

so from lets say 5% itll go 35% right?

[thin basin]

no its multi cuz its more

[midnight geode]

damn it

kinda ass then

[thin basin]

also add does work like that lol

5% with 30% increased is 5*1.3 not 5+30

[midnight geode]

isnt that multiplicative?

when its 5*1.3

and additive when its 5+30

thats what i thought

[abstract mortar]

how can i chill myself?

[bleak forum]

can somebody send me their frost passive skill tree screenshot

[midnight geode]

so if i have this gem and i got 5% crit its gonna become 6.5% or 35%?

[old ermine]

I'm playing around with max skill effect duration for Time Freeze on my Chronomancer. What skills also benefit from the increased duration stat? Trying to fit some damage in here somewhere

[thin basin]

yes

[midnight geode]

wut

[lucid marsh]

for attributes in the passive tree do i just always go my main stat?

[abstract mortar]

does someone know a way i can chill myself?

[thin basin]

i dont think theres self chill in the game right now

only way is to let enemy hit you for the chill

[abstract mortar]

theres a body armour that gives reversed effect of chill on you

so im assuming there must be a way to make selfchill work

would be dumb if not, but yeah

[thin basin]

i mean not everything is in the game yet maybe in future update theyll add

[empty comet]

how does with attacks change a % dmg mod? i feel llike the physical dmg here is applied only to the weapons dmg directly, while the ele dmg is applied to the attack overall, is that correct?

[limpid plover]

how does multiple instances of conversion stack? For instance if i was using an item that converts cold to lightning damage would i gain the benefits from #/% increases to lightning damage or would that have been calculated before the conversion?

[thin basin]

if its on the weap, yes the phys mod is local, and the ele should be global

[empty comet]

thx these werer the terms i was looking for

[sick jasper]

Only the last one will be used for conversion.

[limpid plover]

how do i know what the lastt one is?

[sick jasper]

You’d lose a bunch of cold damage increase cause however much of your damage is converted. So in your example, you’d have increased lightning damage for sure.

[static plinth]

Currently isn't. Best you can do is get increased chance to be inflicted with ailments through stuff like Infinite Pursuit

[abstract mortar]

what a shame actually

anyway tysm

[sick jasper]

Most of the time, it’s not 100% conversion. But you won’t get increase in cold first then convert and get the lightning on top

[limpid plover]

so if i have a bunch of increased lightning damage in build, then convert from cold to lightning i'm in a good spot but if i had a bunch of increased cold then converted i'd be losing out on the #/% increased cold?

[sick jasper]

Yes

[limpid plover]

cool beans, TY!

[sick jasper]

As far as I understand ofcourse, since in poe 1 it was different

But it should be like that in poe 2

[limpid plover]

also if i were to use painter's servant gloves and whisper of the brotherhood, i should be dealing 0 cold damage still correct?

[sick jasper]

Well, I don’t know what either of them do. Assuming they each convert a percentage cold to lightning?

[static plinth]

So this leads to weird shit

You have to ratio 33%, 33%, and 133% down to a combined 100%

[sick jasper]

In that case I would guess they just add up. But that’s a guess, sorry 🤷

[static plinth]

So i think yo uget something like 15% 15% and 70%

[brazen verge]

what is this helmet? just curious if I sdhould know about it 😉

[static plinth]

The Three Dragons

[limpid plover]

ring is 100% cold to lightning and gloves splits all elemental damage into 33% of each

[sick jasper]

Oh

That looks like you just get a tripplet of each

[limpid plover]

lol yeah that's what i'm looking for

[sick jasper]

But then again which ring takes priority eh 😋

Or item rather

[static plinth]

I forget how to do ratio math

But for instance if you had 100% of cold to lightning and 100% of cold to fire, you have 50% to lightning and 50% to fire

[limpid plover]

so basically with 3 dragons if i can drop cold damage all together i SHOULD be freezing and shocking at a much higher rate

[static plinth]

If the cold to fire is instead 50%, you have 75% cold to lightning and 25% cold to fire

[sick jasper]

It says elemental though. So basically ALL elemental damage gets pooled and split into all 3 elements equally.

[limpid plover]

yup but does the ring drop the cold is the question

[sick jasper]

But then is the question, will the ring work after that or before

Maybe you can test to see if you get freeze build with it on

[static plinth]

They work at the same time

Thats what im trying to explain, neither takes priority

[limpid plover]

so if i have a bunch of increased lightning damage, run both, then everything should be freezing at a much higher rate and benefit from the increased lightning no?

[sick jasper]

🤷

I give up 😅

[static plinth]

If you run Brotherhood you cant freeze, if you run both you freeze at like, 10% of what you were before

[scarlet oasis]

Does flame wall bonus to projectiles stack

[static plinth]

No

[dawn spire]

I don't think so. Highest flame wall bonus applies

[limpid plover]

but with 3 dragons my lightning damage contributes to freeze buildup

[sick jasper]

So why have the gloves?

[limpid plover]

to shock more consistently for herald of thunder. and freeze stuff more

some of that damge will be fire that can shock

[sick jasper]

But 100 cold to lightning feels like you can shock all the time and your lightning damage also freezes?

[limpid plover]

basically i'm dropping the ability to ignite to deal more damage and freeze/shock more

which is just more damage and cc

[sick jasper]

Ah, I guess it could 😵‍💫

[hushed umbra]

Perfect snipe hits and crits twice?

[limpid plover]

and i can't shock with lightning cause of 3 dragons

[lament arrow]

Hi guys which level should I switch to demon form exactly ?

[thin basin]

Probably when you can sustain it without dying

[calm roost]

Could someone explain to me how Essence Drain interacts with the sup gem Chain as per this guide https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/profile/59dfbe0b-1a20-40e0-9ceb-9539cac06814/builds/504b7ce9-be8e-4054-a121-a992efee9ba9. Like what exactly does the effect 'Chain' do here for this skill?

[midnight ice]

anyone playing ranger herald of shock and ice ? I can freeze things pretty quickly , but theres no chain killing going on much .. any ideas ?

[static plinth]

It causes it to chain?

[dawn spire]

That effectively means you have 100% of cold to lightning, 33% of cold to cold, 33% of cold to fire, 33% of cold to lightning, 33% of fire to cold, 33% of fire to fire, 33% of fire to lightning, 33% of lightning to cold, 33% of lightning to fire, and 33% of lightning to lightning.

So if you do 100 base cold damage, you'd have 100% to lightning, 33% to cold, 33% to fire, and 33% to lightning.

If you add the sums, you'd have 133% lightning, 33% cold, and 33% fire.

If you weigh them accordingly and normalize them, that's 67 lightning, 16.5 cold, and 16.5 fire damage

[static plinth]

And it doesnt impact the damage of the DoT

[static plinth]

Thank you i could not remember how to do that math for the life of me

[calm roost]

like you shoot it at someone and then the debuff chains to another?

[static plinth]

The projectile itself chains but yes

[calm roost]

how does it chain? Cause by default you just shoot out a bolt and it leaves a debuff on a character it hits. I dont see anythign about it chaining

[dawn spire]

The trick is remembering that elemental just means "cold, fire, and lightning"

[dawn spire]

It has a hit component

It chains like any other projectile and inflicts the debuff on any enemy it hits

[static plinth]

Nah thats not the part that was killing me

I couldnt remember how to reduce them down to 100%

[static plinth]

Once the bolt hits an enemy, it then shoots towards a second, then third enemy

[calm roost]

thanks I understand and see it now 😄

[faint solstice]

I've noticed that people playing the Demon Form build often choose between two different styles. One approach uses ES as mana and relies on the Mask of the Stitched Demon for life regen. The other approach also uses ES but instead opts for a belt and boots for life regen. I'm wondering which build I should use if my goal is to stack as much as possible while remain safety

[limpid plover]

Ty for the explanation. That kinda makes it sound like close to what I was expecting. Would the damage converted to lightning also benefit from "lightning rod" node? Basically rolls my lightning damage with advantage?

Or not because it only checks the base rolls for lightning?

[dawn spire]

The damage roll happens after the conversion, so yes.

[dawn spire]

What have I done

I betrayed the Jedi order

[upbeat crow]

will thisa be good for spark build?

[dawn spire]

It has two mods on it that aren't useless. But good is a relative term. What jewel are you comparing it to?

[dawn spire]

This is apples and oranges, I'm afraid. Hard to compare defense to offense

Basically it's your call

[upbeat crow]

ok ty man

[outer vault]

maybe a commonly asked question but as an infernalist, do i care only abbout fire/chaos res? i can let my other resistances be whatever? or what's the general distribution i should aim for?

[hushed umbra]

higher maximum fire, cap rest

[outer vault]

great, thank you. much obliged

[static plinth]

Cap everything, get max fire if you can

And dont take Altered Flesh until you have a chunk of chaos res

[outer vault]

😬

[open gulch]

Which is better
35% mana leech + recover 2% mana on kill
or
16% reduced mana cost + 20% mana regeneration rate

[outer vault]

ok i see.. my fire res is at 126% so that's 36% that's basically wasted and should be put onto other things

[final mountain]

so im a bit stupid. is there ever enough penetration of an element? just noticed I got 130 while I also use -33% curse and -20% exposure. is that overkill or is the negative resistance infinite on the enemy?

[static plinth]

Negative resistance caps at -200, but penetration cannot go below 0

If your curse+exposure take an enemy below 0 res, penetration does nothing

[royal flame]

can you have more than 1 cast on freeze?

[kind ginkgo]

worth spending one more divine orb for everlasting amulet to go from 25 to 30 % of mana to ES

[spare quartz]

What is the trick to getting 5 sockets on a skill gem? I see lots of streamers with multiple 5's are they just grinding hard? I'm level 83 and have never seen a perfect, and only 1 greater jewelers orb

[hoary ingot]

bois i need help

act 1 ruthless chronomancer dps

like im doing no fkin dmg

[hushed umbra]

800 dps in act 4 is an achivement

[final mountain]

so one more question: do mobs without any extra mods, like a plain white enemy have a base resistance in lets say t15 maps? for example straight 30% all res? or in other words is the resistance 0 if there is no icon? and would that mean if there is a red icon is that resitance below 0?

[limpid plover]

so this works, but giving up too much damage from gloves/rings i'm swapping out unfortunately

[hoary ingot]

you fr?

like i swear to god

this feels like no damage at all

compared to my witch or stormweaver

[hushed umbra]

I meant as in having it that low

[hoary ingot]

https://tenor.com/view/balcony-clorox-jump-pretend-pretendo-to-jump-gif-23427978

what am i supposed to do

like i have this shit at best

[empty comet]

how does this increased range apply to a mace? it doesnt seem to increase the radius of my slam aoe, or the range of molten blast

[lapis arrow]

What is better to run with reavers, some extra frost mages or snipers? I run 21 reaver, 1 stormmage and 3 cleric atm, but it's too much, some of them can't even attack, so need some backrow.

And what support gems should i take for snipers/frostmages?

i play fire reaver*

[calm lake]

Can someone please help me get my sorceress to be endgame viable? My homebrew cold build was not working at all so I spent a ton of time and resources respeccing to a spark build I found online... But now I can't even survive maps on Act 3 Cruel. I don't know what to do. I can't play the game.

even if it's just a video or a site with a build i can replicate with the whopping 3ex i have :\

[gray ferry]

so what's the deal with annointing corrupted items atm? 🤔

[lapis arrow]

Can you annoint corrupted items??? I have a neck without and need to buy a new one, if i can't do that anymore

[gray ferry]

I'm seeing people post that they need 'tainted oil' to do so...but it's not in the game yet...

or so I think

[lapis arrow]

[hybrid ocean]

Is ailment chance based on damage before or after resistances?

[lapis arrow]

So i have to buy one.. rip divines.

And still need to figure out, if frostmages or snipers fit better with my fire reavers....

[gray ferry]

ailment chance should be before resistances

based on premitigated damage

[hybrid ocean]

Damn

[calm lake]

k

[hybrid ocean]

That makes Doryani's prototype substantially weaker

[calm lake]

nevermind lol

[tardy narwhal]

Anyone recommend a good frozen monk leveling build? Ive heard of leveling as LA for the first few levels. Cant find a reputable build though with steps, skils, and passive tree progression

[sharp cradle]

wudijo

[muted flare]

How do I survive on monk pure evasion? I have 80% and it feels useless mix of shield and evade?

[lapis arrow]

can't decide.....

[tardy narwhal]

not seeing anything in his YT or maxroll

[sharp cradle]

you can’t really rely on ang pure defense

[gray ferry]

pure evasion always seemed dicey to me ngl

[sharp cradle]

ice strike ill link

[gray ferry]

there are cool options for ES + Evasion tho eh

[sharp cradle]

yea need to layer defenses, ES is king for defense right now

[ruby lagoon]

ES+Evasion+armor is the way

[muted flare]

so besides going choas inoculation you mix energy and evasion?

armor is completely useless

[ruby lagoon]

90% damage reduction is useless?

Interesting

[sharp cradle]

important to allocate spirit for Ghost Dancer & Grim Harvest and possibly Wind Dancer if you have room

[muted flare]

not going to save you from white mobs on t15 maps plus withouth 10khp

[tardy narwhal]

that'd be great.

[sharp cradle]

Monsters hit for such large numbers, and flat life is not enough

[muted flare]

Armor needs to be patched so right now its a complete waste

[ruby lagoon]

Did I say flat life? No I did not. Work on your reading comprehension

[ruby lagoon]

This

[sharp cradle]

sorry thought you were the other guy, you’re right

https://youtu.be/hDJmxs4qXmI?si=_71PNS80oJSTsvQK

https://youtu.be/1Z2XKDbNKIU?si=reLdBJSveprc9E48

[muted flare]

no need to get mad I didnt make the armor this way lol

[void barn]

You cant rely on pure evade as you'll just die when you fail to evade

[sharp cradle]

here to help, lol

[void barn]

Evade/ES is good but you want to actually have ES mods to survive the hit you fail to evade

[sharp cradle]

there’s also Recoop % of damage, or convert damage to mana

[alpine quiver]

Any viable spark build in like 10 div range?

[void barn]

Recoop is huge too. But you dont want just one of the clusters if you are doing it, you want all of them

Recoop 20% is useless, but you can get over 100% recoop with armor stats and passives

[sharp cradle]

that’s actually crazy

[sharp cradle]

i’d just set you max price to like 2 div and do an item search for each set piece you’re looking for

also crosscheck price for exalt bc so many people just drop items in a 1-2 div folder that may be 1-5 exalt

[alpine quiver]

Im on ranger rn and even mid gear for ranger is super expensive

[sharp cradle]

yea ranger is maybe most expensive rn

[alpine quiver]

Will sell my ranger gear and put all in sorc

[sharp cradle]

i think you mean wand vs staff? really depends on what gear you’re able to acquire

[alpine quiver]

Just howa will go for 6-7 div

[sharp cradle]

yeah i think you can sorc on a budget

[weak knoll]

Hello, could someone explain me the point of using vaal and chaos orb ? when do you use tose ?

[sharp cradle]

chaos before you quality, vaal if you have guts

[weak knoll]

i ruined an item like this haha

oops

[sharp cradle]

if you have a 4/6 decent roll; you could chaos and possibly get a 5/6

but you always risk bricking the rare

vaal corrupts, only thing you can do after vaal is insert runes into empty sockets

[versed elbow]

Does anyone have ideas for temporalis builds?

I have one and not sure what to play

[sharp cradle]

vaal can double a stat, add a 3rd socket, replace a stat, brick your item; it’s completely random

[weak knoll]

anyone would be able to tell me where those come from ?

[alpine quiver]

Yup
But got luckky yesterday vaal orbed cage god and got 2 div for it

[sharp cradle]

as you progress through acts in cruel; each act reduces your res by -10%

[weak knoll]

Oooh okay ty

[sharp cradle]

you can get resistance on gear, through the passive tree, through your ascendancy subclass, and through some of the side quests

[sharp cradle]

hell yea

[weak knoll]

if i was to buy this item, how can I make so that IIRF goes higer ?

[sharp cradle]

don’t buy that

[weak knoll]

i'll buy this tho

[sharp cradle]

that one is better

you can use exalted orbs to add two more ‘affixes’ both rings have 4/6; rare (yellow) gear can have up to 6 total

[muted flare]

swaping to a mix of shield and evade now

[sharp cradle]

chaos orbs and vaal orbs can reroll or increase stats but they also can remove, reduce, or change permanently so it is usually better/safer just to find a decent item with 6 affixes until you’re able to afford gambling on crafting

[void barn]

Ghost shroud is good for that combo too, instantly recover ES equal to a % of your evade when you fail to evade

Helps give you a buffer for if you fail an evade back to back

[signal jewel]

Are bosses considered unique? Thinking about using attrition for bossing.

[tidal carbon]

Does chaos damage % help with poison dmg?

[signal jewel]

Poison is chaos so yes?

[void barn]

No

[tardy narwhal]

thx!

[void barn]

Poison is not affected by the chaos %, only by magnitude in 2

[signal jewel]

I stand corrected. Good thing I'm not doing a poison build. Lol

[void barn]

For all ailments in 2, you apply all bonuses to the hit, then AFTER everything is calculated for the hit, your magnitude % is taken off the total amd applied as the ailment

[spring temple]

if you use chaos to cause the poison then chaos damage % will help

[void barn]

Yes

[spring temple]

so for things like poisonous concoction it will help because those are largely chaos damage

[hushed umbra]

Poison wants you to deal high damage up front and then scale it additionally with magnitude.

Right now trying sniper poison for bosses, seems really decent

[spring temple]

but if you're trying to poison with snipe or something then it probably won't help much

[void barn]

The % damage will increaee the hit, which will in turn make the magnitude bigger, but only if you apply via chaos damage

Im playing poison concoction myself atm

[errant steppe]

does Time of need's heal counted as in Zealot's oath effect ? 🥺

[spring temple]

it shouldn't, zealot's oath specifies Regen and Time of Need is not regen

[void barn]

Yea, regen, heal, and recoup are all different

[errant steppe]

thank you

[alpine pecan]

Does anyone know if this counts as a separate effect so that if I heavy stun an enemy by consuming broken armour with leap slam, does this re-apply broken armour, despite leap slam not being able to apply broken armour??

[void barn]

Example, a rare mob with decrease health regeneration in proximity will lower your base health regen and since flasks count as regen will also lower those aswell. But it will not lower recoup effects

[void barn]

I dont know for sure, but typically effects like that occur AFTER the consumption so it should break again after

[shut rose]

I'm missing something? New scepter with higher skeletons and they won't spawn. Anything is fine - enough stats for any gear/skill. Are they char level locked?

[arctic pond]

The +1 to limit from this unique doesn't work with the Ranger's "Rain Of Arrows" skill. Is this intentional or a bug?

[alpine pecan]

actually i just respecced and tested and it doesn't reapply

[spring temple]

rain of arrows specifically says "maximum" not "limit" so probably not a bug

[winged topaz]

am i the only one that thinks everlasting gaze isn't working as intended with eldrich battery?

i just have a bad feeling

[wanton juniper]

What are some ways people reliably activate low life status like with coward's legacy? I know of beidats will in infernalist

[void barn]

Sadge

[weak knoll]

What are called the hewels that makes you leech life on kills ? i cant find it on trade

[spring bluff]

Can anyone help me with a sorceress fire build? I'm trying to figure out the best support gems for my skills also my passives.

[arctic pond]

Well that's disappointing. It's the only skill with a hard maximum...

[spring temple]

search for jewels with "Recover #% of Life On Kill", it can be a rare or magic jewel

[weak knoll]

do jewels have a level required to equip ?

or item level is just misleadign ?

[median kraken]

Required level and item level are unrelated

Required level is the level you need to be to use it and is based on base type and sometimes mods or the level of the built in skill. Item level is based on the zone level it dropped in and determines what mods it can get.

[arctic pond]

The skill shows the amulet as increasing its limit though

[spring temple]

does it? that says 1

am i missing something

1 is the normal amount

[arctic pond]

Yeah, and with the amulet it hits 2

[spring temple]

oh wow it says 2

need new glasses

interesting. does "overabundance" work?

[arctic pond]

But it only lets 1 be placed down

No overabundance doesn't work

[median kraken]

Sounds like there is a bug, just a quest of whether the bug is the game saying it works or that it doesn't work

[spring temple]

i think the amulet increasing that maximum is probably a display issue then

[median kraken]

Yeah, if Overabundance doesn't work the the bug is more likely the number going to 2

[tardy narwhal]

i kind of want to just blindly build a chaos degen build. are they viable or trash
(hc ssf)

[static plinth]

Viable, yes

Hardcore viable?

Ehhhh

[tardy narwhal]

alternatively, id be interested in a bow build

[static plinth]

You could do worse but waiting for DoTs on bosses like Zarokh fucking sucks

[tidal copper]

Use original sin to dot that'll go great for hardcore

[keen knot]

with grim feast do i benefit more for survivability from
Flat life and % maximum life or flat es and % maximum es
( using atziri helmet )

[midnight geode]

can i see somewhere the shock chance of individual skills?

[thorny token]

% life wont apply to the es from atziri helmet

flat es is also kinda useless

best thing to grab is % max es with that helmet

and hybrid bases ideally ofc

but not flat es on ammy and shit

[keen knot]

`perfect then assuming 2nd best flat life

[thorny token]

yea

[keen knot]

alr tysm

[median kraken]

If you're using Atziri helmet you want a mix of life and ES but more total ES

[keen knot]

yeah although i feel like going flat life might be better just for the sake of flexablity in the future, but then again only gonna invest a divine for amulet so for short term better going for es %

ok i did not know that es % goes up to 50% on amulet wtf

[median kraken]

Flat life is flexibility if you might want to go pure life in the future. ES is flexibility if you might want to go CI in the future

[signal jewel]

So do bosses count as unique monsters? I want to add attrition if it will work.

[thorny token]

60 with catalyst!

[median kraken]

Yes

[keen knot]

never been an es user , just pivoted to it now cuz life is dog atm

[thorny token]

but yea would def go for % es especialyl on gear

because even if they nerf es

the gear will persist :d

[strong swift]

sorry old post, but what passive did you end up instilling?

[weak knoll]

is it worth its price ?

[keen knot]

filter in trade the same stats and check other listings

[weak knoll]

No result found lmao

[spring temple]

i mean shouldn't the chest you just posted show up at least?

[weak knoll]

idk lol it didnt

exact same stats

and it doesnt show up

[shrewd heath]

does anyone know how to filter for jewels on trade webpage?

[pliant viper]

as a witch/blood mage can you go blood magic at level 28 without Mask of the Sanguimancer Face Mask or have to wait till level 58 or so using bone cage and/or DD to clear packs

[spring temple]

that's the wrong %increased armour probably

[weak knoll]

i traded it for 15 at least

its not 20

[spring temple]

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Standard/kEGPJ0rH5

[weak knoll]

ty

found way better for less smh

for 1

i'm really terrible at trading

[spring temple]

the %increased armour you picked is probably the global amulet/belt mod instead of a local body armour mod

it's okay getting something to wear now is more important than holding on to a handful of exalts

and they'll start rolling in

[thin basin]

Depend on the jewel, some uniques are unfilterable rn

[spring temple]

standing in your hideout with indecision is much worse than impulse buying and running maps

[weak knoll]

i'm following a build guide but i'm really unsure on what i sonhuld be getting exactly

oh i'm still on act 4 lmaoo

[spring temple]

same thing applies, better to buy something and kill monsters than sit around fishing for a crazy deal

as long as you're not spending divines

[weak knoll]

yeah i'm stil lsitting on 49 exalts and i think my build is decent for now

I ironically have a lot of played hours because i've hchanged my build 4 times and i'm not even 55

[woven vine]

hey guys I am trying to buy these kind of gloves on the market https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/profile/7de9d7c7-ff76-4e9f-b646-6bcfbec2ecf9/builds/b02806f6-c0e4-407d-9864-8a8752994711 but every time I search up gloves with Leech the search comes up with nothing. Am I doing something wrong?

[peak dawn]

I just did the cheap 5% max mana one because I had the stuff for it but pretty sure the Lucky Lightning at the bottom of the tree is the best and also most expensive

[strong swift]

thank you!

[spring temple]

this worked for me

what are you searching differently

oh

it's attack damage

not damage

the mobalytics guide has the wrong stat listed

[woven vine]

this is all I get

[shrewd heath]

i just want to find a red jewel with rage on hit

[spring temple]

yeah you have to look for "Physical Attack Damage as Mana"

[woven vine]

ty ty sorry

don't be to be a bug

[spring temple]

that mod should only spawn on red jewels so

[serene minnow]

"(333–666)% increased effect of Socketed Soul Cores" does this affect soulcores outside the unique shield "Mahuxotl's Machination" ?

[shrewd heath]

thanks!!

[thorny token]

there is currently a bug where it does

unless it was fixed already but dont think it was

[calm roost]

https://pathofexile2.wiki.fextralife.com/Decompose how can I get this skill? Is it even in the game?

[median kraken]

It comes from a pair of unique boots. No gem for it

[winter zephyr]

Is this item good ? for endgame build ?

[calm roost]

I just found it yes

[calm roost]

unfortunate, 😦

[woven vine]

what am I doing wrong?

[opaque halo]

Forst time seeing Decompose - Interesting skill, does it passively turn corpses from enemies into gas clouds (and then you can detonate dead on a minion using Sacrifice spirit gem?)

[rugged lily]

you're looking for all those affixes on one item, probably gonna be hard to find, especially when you set item level to 47 max

nevermind
7 affixes is more "impossible" than "hard"

[woven vine]

even with 4

[thin basin]

That flask recovery look like an implicit

Also belt with triple res, life, and mana at lvl 47

[opaque halo]

can check which explicits can roll on belts and at what level using poe2db

but dont put implicit stats in that side of the search, if theres one in particular that you want, search for the base

for example, if you want 20% instant recovery, search for Utility Belt, then add the other stats

[errant steppe]

have GGG fixed Ancient Aegis yet, i heard it didnt work last patch right ?

[pallid forum]

ok so reavers or frost mages?

[lapis arrow]

reavers with frostmages '-'

[pallid forum]

🙂

[lapis arrow]

that's what i'm running rn

works pretty good

[lavish kayak]

Okay i've revised my plan for my passive skill tree (im still in campaign) based on advice from #2┃new-player-in-campaign-help , what do you guys think of this for a chronomancer? I used 113/123 skill points, as i was told level 100 wasn't very achievable

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/passive-tree/1t2um0wc

[pallid forum]

but what if u had to choose?

[lapis arrow]

reavers

[pallid forum]

weird there is no guide on maxroll

[snow sierra]

because reavers a kinda meh, and frostmages are a high investment choise

[lapis arrow]

reavers

are insane

fire reavers even better

[snow sierra]

no they are not they are workable if you outgear stuff by a mile

[lapis arrow]

No.

[crystal turret]

anyone playing poison bow build? if so, what is your tool for killing rares/uniques?

[snow sierra]

And are very decent for bossing

[crystal turret]

im into maps and feel underwhelming in that area

[lapis arrow]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbGwfnP_Nwk&t=267s i started with his build (close to, a cheaper version), got 16 reaver now and 5 frostmages, got even better clear with reavers and freeze for bosses.

even without the frostmages and only his build the clear was fast af.

faster than arsonist or frostmages

idk about snipers

Always room to improve and play around to your own liking, but calling reavers meh is just wrong.

[snow sierra]

16 reavers + 5 frostmages is just outgearing t16 grossly

[pallid forum]

Damn u got me confused lol

[snow sierra]

hey guys i made a temporalist build that is good

[lapis arrow]

Like i said, i didn't had this lineup before.

[snow sierra]

hurhur

[lapis arrow]

i played a cheap version of his

your reading skill is not high

huh

[pallid forum]

so which build u think its best rn?

[snow sierra]

I think Arsonsist are the best cost friendly Minion, Frostmage scale better with gear, and with gear you can any make any minion work

[lapis arrow]

arsonist is cost friendly yes and good to level from 0 to endgame, reavers better endgame than frostmages 🙂

[snow sierra]

i hardly disagree with the state the minion AI is in reavers are not good, they compete with snipers on boss dmg but dont come close to frostmage clear

[pallid forum]

so for someone that will start maps after finishing campaign are reavers viable choice or i need to start arsonists first?

[lapis arrow]

Also wrong. did you see the video to get a idea how fast they clear and how easy they clear tight rooms, bcs you can just resummon them?

i guess not

you just like to talk a lot huh

[lapis arrow]

for that early content? arsonist.

YOu need gear for reavers and also for frostmages if you like them more.

[pallid forum]

aha i see ty

[pliant viper]

think you can get away with just armor as a blood mage till level 58-60 or when ever the end of the campain is? haven't gone past act 2 myself been messing about

[latent sinew]

is that reaver video considered good clear for a minion build? was thinking of trying a minion build out but idk anymore lol

[lapis arrow]

you can compare them to other builds, there are a lot out there on yt

[snow sierra]

that not fast clear and he has better gear then i had with my arsonist on a 4 link, but talking about clear speed with minions is a fools erant anyways cause they suck at speed clearing with the wonky ai

[latent sinew]

aw shame, guess i wont bother for now

[lapis arrow]

we don't talk about arsonist, we talked about frostmages or reavers

cringe af, can't even argue.

[pallid forum]

ok guys i will go for arsonists till i get better gear and then decide. u helped me alot ty, peace

[lapis arrow]

^ good choice

[snow sierra]

you can get away with armour until t14-t16 maps

[pliant viper]

interesting is a shield worth it for the armour even if i don't plan on blocking with it and the lost of all spell levels or physical spell levels might be a good thing with blood magic honestly

those shield nodes look handy

[snow sierra]

Shield is allways worth it, alone for the block chance, i assume by not blocking with it you mean the skill

Block is a super strong defense right now

[pliant viper]

yeh thought you had to raise it with the skill to get any benifit

[snow sierra]

No shields have a block % chance on them

that is the chance that you just block without you doing anything

[pliant viper]

dang okay hmm

[warm tundra]

hey for spark mage what is the BIS tiem lost dimaond - is it mana int or mana lighting damage

[pallid forum]

btw up to what map tier u think i should use arsonists and then go for reavers/fmages ?

[lapis arrow]

i used arsonist till t13 and switched

depends on what you drop, what you can buy

[toxic crown]

It looks like life remnants from the blood mage ascendency can be upgraded in quality; however, gemcutters prisms don't work. Any idea on how to upgrade the quality on this?

[tidal carbon]

What's a good corrupted for everlasting gaze?

[snow sierra]

No possible right now

Ascendency skills have qualitiy shown with no way to upgrade them

[toxic crown]

ty!

[solar shadow]

what's the best HOWA build out there?

[spring temple]

most of the top-end pushed builds running HOWA are gemling legionnaires doing HOWA/Pillar of the Caged God

[thin shore]

any idea when they fix armor breaking? thought about running an armor breaking xbow warbringer

[tidal carbon]

What's a good allocate for everlasting gaze?

[snow sierra]

you mean anoint ?

[solar shadow]

right, but are they running storm wave with herald ice + lightning?

[spring temple]

once you have that template of the build, you can essentially run whatever you want

[distant tendon]

how should i build my monk? im in act 2

[spring temple]

any combination of ice strike / tempest flurry will full clear entire screens with minimal effort

you can run storm wave if you want but it will have a tougher time with single target due to needing something else to generate combo for bells

[solar shadow]

hmm

[spring temple]

i currently use tempest flurry and storm wave (although i only use storm wave to attack without moving if there's something dangerous on the ground)

[solar shadow]

i see

[spring temple]

i use call of the brotherhood + Herald of Ice because i like shatters but i think it's objectively worse since you lose a ring slot and it makes ingenuity worse/wrong

[vivid vector]

Does anyone know of a good monk build around the "3 Dragons" helm?

[solar shadow]

i love shatters too and without that setup i cant shatter reliably

how else do you get reliable shatters

also tempest flurry gets stuck a lot!

[spring temple]

the other option is three dragons

[kind ginkgo]

guys does critical exploit work on spell crit chance?

[strange sierra]

Playing shockburst gemling and it's kinda tough to find an answer to if I should put iron or storm runes on this. Or at least the logic around it to help me figure it out. My instincts are telling me to put iron but I'll be using this a while and don't wanna mess it up

Sorry if this is wrong place to ask

[solar shadow]

with three dragons i can drop HoL right?

do you use charged staff a lot

[spring temple]

yeah i keep charged staff running for the shockwaves

doubles the bell hits

[solar shadow]

when im calculating the dps for tempest flurry, do i add up the first, third, and fourth strike?

my tooltip dps for tempest flurry for normal strike is 50K

cant seem to bump it up anymore

[spring temple]

honestly dps calcs are basically impossible. tempest flurry does so many varying hits with varying timing, and most of my single target damage comes from hitting the bell anyways

i'm more focused on hitting the bell a lot for rares

[solar shadow]

got it

do you mind sharing your supports for TF?

[spring temple]

100k dps is enough to delete white mobs with TF

UM mine are probably not optimal hahaha lemme see

martial tempo, ice bite, primal armament, rising tempest, crescendo? something like that

[sacred heath]

greets all.... how do i see my CHANCE TO SHOCK? i have no idea how much i have even with speccing into it on the passive tree. Doesnt appear (or iim missing it) hwhen i hit G and then click the arrow for more deatiled info for that skill

[pearl sluice]

Hey guys, I was thinking about doing some cast on ignite with a fireball and the summon raging spirits, and then, a cast with minion death comet

I'll do enough damage without the archmage?

[spring temple]

there's no static chance to shock any more. it's dynamically calculated based on the monster's life and the damage you deal

[vivid vector]

If wearing dragons, and using ice bite on TF, wouldn't that cause fire buildup instead of ice?

[sacred heath]

Thanks Doc.... trying to figure out if my cast on shock building up as slow/quickly as it does can be improved and realized i have no idea what my shock chance is 🙂

[spring temple]

i run call of the brotherhood so it's all cold damage for me

[spring temple]

if you go out and hit a white mob 1 or 2 times and it doesn't get shocked, you'd probably benefit from some chance to shock nodes

[heady flower]

Hello, if I instill a passive on an Amulet can i change it again?

[sharp vortex]

If u spend the annoits to do so yeah

[heady flower]

Annoints?

[lavish kayak]

Okay revised my plan once again taking into account advice from #2┃new-player-in-campaign-help , hows this build?
https://maxroll.gg/poe2/passive-tree/ms2zs0fk

Chronomancer, not sure of all my items and spells yet as im still in campaign, but i plan to go all lightning spells. Build targets level 90 as i was told that is more reasonable than 100

[iron harbor]

anyone knows, does Aura effect improve Blasphemy curses?

[thin basin]

Gonna need to know what skill and other stuff to give recommendation on tree

But chances are you want duration and could drop some of those lightning nodes

[shy ermine]

Should i be looking for +4-+5 projectile dualstring or just look for straight flat damage?

lightning arrow deady

[blazing agate]

Guys I want a range build atm I play ice monk and I hate melee any suggestions? I saw ziz spark build tho I'm not sure

[tidal copper]

What ascendency? I can think of some meme build if you are down to respec the tree

[rapid star]

How tf do i make Monk not be a one button aura stacker

?

[lavish kayak]

sorry i didn't see your message, thanks for the tips. As i said im not really sure yet as im still early on

[sharp vortex]

not great?

[foggy bloom]

is the HP of soul offering spike based on the sacrificed minion's health? or how can I increase it?

[lavish kayak]

Reasons would be nice rather than just saying its rubbish...

[sharp vortex]

im workin on it

[lavish kayak]

as i said im new

[sharp vortex]

this for example is really poop

[civic schooner]

when respeccing passive points and using the comparison feature, does it not work for all abilities? trying to compare for my lightning arrow deadeye between projectile damage and lightning damage nodes, and when adding/removing those it always says "does not apply to any abilities"

[sharp vortex]

u really wanna make your way over here
