2┃build-planning

[lavish kayak]

is shock just not really worth it then?

[sharp vortex]

its 15% more lightning dmg

shock is fine

and more means it multiplys everything else

its just that your pating is not good

[foggy bloom]

pathing for that node is good for chrono actually

[lavish kayak]

going over there looks quite expensive though, is venturing to the left not really worth it as i've done?

[foggy bloom]

you are spark build right?

[sharp vortex]

this is what id reco personally

that mana node is centre rn btw

is bugged

it does not work

[sharp vortex]

you also get jewel slots so its not as expensive as it looks

and jewel slots are very very good value

oh I missed the jewel slot

fixed

[lavish kayak]

I see, thanks . Yeah im aware that node is its bugged, but i assumed by the time im level 90 it'll be fixed, so i was gonna level that last. I didn't realise jewels we're so powerful to be honest

[thin basin]

I recommend looking at captainlance or ziz archemage build and base your lightning build around that

[strange sierra]

At lv 86 gemling, I'm kinda having defenses issues. Energy shield isn't really in the cards. I'm currently wearing armour/evasion with a point in Iron Reflexes. Should I go evasion and try acrobatic instead? Options feel limited

[sharp vortex]

also duration of shock

is bad

due to you constantly reapplying shock

[thin basin]

Theyre stormweaver but you can edit out some nodes and grab duration instead

[sharp vortex]

since shock chance to apply is based on dmg

[lavish kayak]

i see, is this area here not good then? seen as im already going quite close it seems worth it to take it, as its a bunch of damage and resistance

[sharp vortex]

it is good

[shy ermine]

is headhunter belt or ingenuity better for deadeye?

[foggy bloom]

it works, but recovery isn't the same as regen

[lavish kayak]

oh my bad you didn't cross it off, ignore me

[sharp vortex]

u legit are better off jsut taking smaller nodes

so eh, kinda

*small mana nodes

[lavish kayak]

is it worth taking when it's fixed though?

[foggy bloom]

if your build has mana on kill, that node is better, specially if you're using archmage

[sharp vortex]

depends on state of it into build

there will be time slots where u dont need the mana regen

and times u do

so it more depends on what you need at that point for the build

[sharp vortex]

still not good enough, also its debatable, yes they not the saem but recovery should work on regen

[lavish kayak]

i see, i noticed you also got rid off this bit. 30% seems quite worth it for -5% cast speed, and all the other small nodes are just flat damage percentage too,

[sharp vortex]

i do like to spec into this if I have mana issues

but overall i think there is better ways to spend your points, then hurting yourself in 1 way

[lavish kayak]

is cast speed worth it then if i wanna maximise efficiency of mana usage, rather than dps

[sharp vortex]

also dont forget all spell damage increases are addative with eachother

[sharp vortex]

basically yeah, since your mana pool is also your hp pool

[unkempt lion]

I need a good monk build

[sharp vortex]

you need to be really careful of attack speed, and generally its kinda a trap for this build to have too much attack speed

[sharp vortex]

dont get me wrong tho its a really good pickup if your having mana issues and not have a good way to fix it right away

[lavish kayak]

but its only a 5% loss for a lot of % damage, and i do have nodes spare

[sharp vortex]

but its not a good pickup just for the dmg if your mana is fine

[lavish kayak]

what else do you recommend i spec into then with my spare nodes?

[sharp vortex]

dmg is additive tho, the more % dmg you have less effective it will be

[sharp vortex]

stuff like this

the stuff I circled

[sharp vortex]

fyi also gaze changes your setup a bit

need to spec more into shielding

and its kinda important cus it helps as a stopgap until you hit high enough mana

[sharp vortex]

...u might wanna wait until patch if u wanna play this due to it being strong tho

[lavish kayak]

what you mean it's likely to get nerfed?

[void barn]

For others playing poison concoction, are any of you building for crit?

[sharp vortex]

patch is likely to come out to nerf it soon

by ggg

[sharp basin]

Can someone help me? I keep getting mini stunned then dying in T15

[lavish kayak]

I see, what other alternatives are there to this build if im going lightning then? I wasn't necessarily trying to go meta tbh i was just tryna go what looks cool, and i liked the look of lightning

[sharp basin]

I do damage but I get stunned out and then I cant do damage

[foggy bloom]

5% cast speed is noticeable, specially if you're getting bodied

[tidal copper]

Well being stun immune sounds like the most direct solution

[thin basin]

That tree look so sad

😔

[sharp vortex]

if thats why you wanna go it

just go it

tbh

[sharp basin]

how do I get stun immune?

[sharp vortex]

off uniques mostly

[sharp basin]

I see..

[sharp vortex]

like there is a ring that gives immunity to slows and freeze

[sharp basin]

I'm broke.

[foggy bloom]

you dont play chrono clearly

[sharp vortex]

best thing u can use

is a charm

[sharp vortex]

fyi if u wanna go lightning I recommend the other accendacy

its a lot better

[thin basin]

Youre talking to 1 of 3 chrono player in this chat 😭

[foggy bloom]

I'm talking to the guy that's making spark chrono

[thin basin]

What a coincidence im lvl 92 with the same build

[lavish kayak]

So this is what i've got now, an d i have 4 spare for flex at the end of it. I just went chrono because it looked cool lol, i wasn't really thinking ahead much. Is it still viable though? I've already made my ascendancy now and iirc you cant change it

[sharp vortex]

r u not running the charm

[lavish kayak]

thanks

[sharp vortex]

oof yeahh cant change it

im basing this myself off my experence

[foggy bloom]

if you are using time stop, increased skill duration will also benefit spark duration

[sharp vortex]

this is bad

[sharp vortex]

dont grab thnis

its -10% mana

[thin basin]

https://streamable.com/uf9r6n

[sharp vortex]

and u scale off mana

[thin basin]

Sneakpeak

[sharp basin]

Bro

this is so bad

I cant map because of that stupid stunlock

[lavish kayak]

fair enough, i assume i should also remove the small node before as well right?

is this area worth it too? it looks quite good

[sharp basin]

@sharp vortex I'm using freeze charm

[sharp vortex]

get another charm slot

[sharp vortex]

its good to have if you can manage the mana usage

which u most likely cant

[sharp vortex]

fyi since your chrono your going to have a LOT more mana issues

[toxic lynx]

Level 17 merc. What skill/gem should I be focusing on?

[lavish kayak]

i see, what about these 2? Sorry for all the questions lol

[sharp vortex]

since the other path has scaling attack speed and mana regen depending on max mana

[sharp vortex]

ya these r good

[foggy bloom]

is that a crit build?

[lavish kayak]

gotcha, this also isnt going to lead anywhere, but as it is a +10 rather than percentage, is it good to take in isolation

[sharp vortex]

honestly if you feel like your lacking dmg or etc just go for it

[lavish kayak]

no

[sharp vortex]

no

u will wanna swap to other side when u have gaze

[foggy bloom]

ok so you can ignore the crit nodes I put in there, sorry

[sharp vortex]

for shielding tho

[lavish kayak]

you mean going energy shield direction rather than increased damage?

[sharp vortex]

yes

[sharp vortex]

again its additive dmg, so the higher level u r, the less each dmg increase matters

and more want to use effective pathing

on what benefits u in that time

[lavish kayak]

i feel like i dont have much damage scaling, unless lightning counts too

[foggy bloom]

the wonders of archmage

mana = damage

[lavish kayak]

How does this look then? I've made quite a few changes

[sharp vortex]

u scale off a few things

[foggy bloom]

ok so I came here to ask how to increase the base HP of soul offering

[sharp vortex]

which scale off mana and int

so if u just go for max mana, it scales your dmg modifiers really hard

[visual seal]

hey guys in your opinion which char has the fastest clear?

map clear for breaches

[sharp vortex]

prob spark rn

one of them anyway

[visual seal]

yeah?

[sharp vortex]

ya

[visual seal]

spark sorc... and witch?

[lavish kayak]

i see, does my new path look good then?

[sharp vortex]

yeah

spark or witch

*sorc or witch

[visual seal]

not sure what build witch would go for fast clears

[sharp vortex]

fyi stay on left side until you hit the gaze amulet

[foggy bloom]

does that increase with gem skill level or minion health?

[lavish kayak]

sounds good, thanks a lot

[sharp vortex]

other then that, its pretty goodg

[little parcel]

What's the best option for a Deadeye build?

25% increased Stun Threshold.
30% increased Elemental Ailment Threshold.
25% increased Mana Regeneration Rate.

[sharp vortex]

u can easily modify it if something does not feel right

I did a lot of tinkering when I did my run

I have prob respeced over like 200-300 points

[lavish kayak]

Realistically how long is it gonna take me to even get to level 90? I'm only 43 rn and on act 3

[sharp vortex]

100ish hours? depending on how u play

100 hours is roughly for noobs tho

skilled people can shorten that a lot

[lavish kayak]

Out of my tree, what would you say is least important then to keep in mind for when im around level 80 ish, as i do want to try other characters too

[foggy bloom]

nvm just checked myself with two rattling scepter, it's a separate minion type

[sharp vortex]

honestly just play around with it as u play

see what feels right for u

it depends on your gear and etc

[pliant viper]

i'm thinking about upgrading my leveling gems to 3 sockets and having that for several differant gem level ranges i tend to reroll and try my options lesser jewler orbs are kinda crazy on the trade site any ball park don't go below this amount for say 1 ex?

i figured looking at what is posted for the past week is a start

might just spam the list and see what sticks on the wall

[sharp vortex]

sorry?

[lavish kayak]

what about the attribute nodes too, i was gonna go a mix of dex and int just cos i felt like it, but i dont really know what to prioritise

[sharp vortex]

can you rephrase?

[pliant viper]

uh the skill support sockets

[sharp vortex]

always go int unless u need it for gear

[pliant viper]

the hole things

[sharp vortex]

i understand that

but whats your question about it

your phrasing made no sense

[pliant viper]

I've no clue on how to check the value of some things

figure if i can up my dps without paying more life that will be a win

[shadow sand]

Hi all. In terms of a monk build and relying heavily on tempest Flurry, which is these two staffs is better?

I'm confused on how lightning damage and physical damage work in conjunction with tempest flurry

[fiery wave]

what support gems do ppl usually use on their spark

[thin basin]

slamd these

[sharp basin]

Alright so I was Tempest Monk and switched to Ice Strike Monk and now the enemies arent popping on my screen anymore.

What happened?

[neat bison]

What does the skill info read as? If it says physical converted to lightning then the 2nd staff is way better

[spring temple]

the second one is almost certainly better, but you can also see by equipping them and checking your listed dps on the skill, right?

[sharp basin]

Anyone?

[spring temple]

what do you mean by popping

[sharp basin]

I have Polcirkeln

Doing Ice strike

[rapid star]

I asked in the build-help but if I may aske here too, could anyone help me with what gear upgrades should i get?
https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/p53eb0f0

[sharp basin]

It feels worse now

[pine mulch]

someone know best supports for frag rounds?

[spring temple]

do you have elemental focus in your herald of ice

[sharp basin]

Yes

[spring temple]

that stops it from chilling i believe

which stops the polcirkeln from shattering

[subtle turret]

yo anyone know if theres some sorc builds that resemble the diablo whirlwind build in the sense of holding 1 button without clunky movement and just deleting everything? made a sorceress cause theres no whirlwind/cyclone in this game yet

[sharp basin]

That was it!

How do I fix my mana issues?

[spring temple]

%mana recover on kill jewels

3% or so total? not sure how expensive those are now so it might be 3 jewels with 1%

mana flasks for bosses

[sharp basin]

I shouldnt be spamming the skill right?

[spring temple]

i spam lol

gotta zoom

you can get away with less mana on kill if you wanna spam less

[sharp basin]

Ok, and the stun issues? I need a 2nd Charm for that mini stun Im having?

Im in a pack of mobs and the mob hits me and it stops be from using my ability and I get stun locked with hits

[rustic monolith]

should i get +5 attribute or 10% chaos res as a stat stacking build?

[sharp vortex]

u mean the spark build?

[sharp vortex]

att if u go CI

chaos res if u dont

[rustic monolith]

ok

[midnight geode]

does crit dmg contribute to elemental dmg and ailment chance? anyone knows?

basically if i crit do i have higher chance to inflict shock

[spring temple]

you can try to mitigate the stun, or try something like wave of frost to chill/freeze big packs before you dive in

or use shattering palm or freezing mark to make sure the first enemy you kill freezes everyone else

ice strike is good for mobility and cleanup but has meh coverage when trying to hit large groups of mobs imo

[sharp vortex]

to 2nd part ailment chance it based on dmg done so yes

[midnight geode]

ok nice

[fiery wave]

is there any way to make arc lightning chain faster?

[sharp vortex]

yepp

[sharp vortex]

use spark instead?

[fiery wave]

yeah i wa sjust looking at adding spark

because i cant clear fast enough of the hordes get very big

but spark uses about the same gems i put on arc

[wispy fjord]

i was running an okay pillar build(no howa no nothing, super budget barely got into maps), came here (well, technically, the poe2 channel) for advice, and got told to switch build completely. i got given the gas grenade build, and i basically spent all my gold and a lot of my exalteds respeccing, and after getting a new set of gear and changing up my skill tree and everything, i do no damage. i used to run t6/t7 maps quite comfortably, but now i struggle to kill anything besides common mobs on t4. the person that suggested me the build completely ghosted me the past couple of days, and i have yet to figure out why i deal so little, compared to what the person and the build maker have said

[sharp vortex]

tbh atm, spark does everything better then arc rn

[fiery wave]

but it looks stupid

[sharp vortex]

its kinda sad... but true

i think it looks awesome personally lmao

[fiery wave]

im getting more single target dps out of arc at least

im basically ust playing an idiot versin of a sorc

at this point

i was playing demon form flameblast but i got sick of flameblast

so i reskilled into lightning

and now i only use 1 button instead of two

i do miss grim feast tho

[sharp vortex]

wait until you see spark players with hundreds of thousand dmg

😉

[fiery wave]

i mean i already saw it

[sharp vortex]

wdym?

[vernal lodge]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/oh3fj0fj so I have this idea on making a fire spark build that has crit

[fiery wave]

i think with the same setup you still will get more single target dps out of arc

[sharp vortex]

grim feast is still there?

[fiery wave]

i cant run grim feast on 100 spirit

[sharp vortex]

yah true

[fiery wave]

literally 85% of my damage is just archmage

you can get a diamond or a hat

but you cant search for the diamond so i gave up

[sharp vortex]

yeah i know

[fiery wave]

i should just give up and go all in regen and uncap demon form again

[sharp vortex]

why u have lightning and fire dmg

[fiery wave]

right now i mainly use 4 ascendency points to have a glorified blink

i played so many hours in demon form tho i keep dying without it

rofl

you have insane survivability with it

[sharp basin]

Oh my god ..

I missed Blackjaw, The Remnant

Twice ..

[vernal lodge]

Cus the reaction to fire wall when spark goes through it

[fiery wave]

people do that tho?

im guessing endgame they dont use firewall anymore because its one extra button

and the cast time isnt worth it

[sharp vortex]

its not worth wasting your points for that

also pen is bad

[fiery wave]

do people not use pen on lightning

i might get some points back

i usually try to max pen on my main damage skill for single target

why is pen bad :}

or did you mean bc of fire

[sharp vortex]

this is bad

[sharp vortex]

cus you already strip down so much of their res

its just not good

[fiery wave]

i made a lot of hats and boots today i sold

[sharp vortex]

?

[fiery wave]

that was unrelated

[sharp vortex]

lol

[thin basin]

Some pen is good for mapping but not worth invest too much into

[fiery wave]

i just sold another hat

so how do you get exposure then

[thin basin]

Exposure + curse is 90%

Gem

[sharp vortex]

its also completely useless until you do like t14s and 15s

[fiery wave]

well im doign t15 since days

[sharp vortex]

ok some is worth

[fiery wave]

i usually run arond 42% on maps and then vs boss i go on 72%

[fiery wave]

but im not against saving points

[sharp vortex]

also plz get chain

[fiery wave]

yeah i have chain

[sharp vortex]

not according to thing u posted

[thin basin]

Getting those 90% ele res map

[fiery wave]

annoint lucky hit

[fiery wave]

what did i post?

[sharp vortex]

wait

im dum

was someone else

[fiery wave]

dont worry

be happy}

:}

[sharp vortex]

interesting pathing lol

[fiery wave]

i just changed it up for the +15% max damage

i think its worth

not so much for damage but you also get 2 more gems

[sharp vortex]

only issue is that its additive

[fiery wave]

i mean it gives you about 10% effective damage with lucky hit

[sharp vortex]

but u do u

[thin basin]

Is it rly worth? 6 points away but i dont have lucky

[fiery wave]

im not 100% i thought i try instead of making another spreadsheet

i speced out of the few crit nodes i had

[pliant iris]

Hello can someone explain why curse not appear above my head like in this video ? https://www.twitch.tv/waggle/clip/TransparentAdventurousOrangeOSsloth-EwrgmSnYdkMJDf9A

[fiery wave]

but as i said i also get 2 more gems

which is op

[thin basin]

Well pob2 in a few days i guess

[fiery wave]

i mean jewel slots

[thin basin]

Its a map mod

Most likely

[fiery wave]

yeah its elemental weakness

[pliant iris]

well before it was working fine but something happened and its not workinjg anymore no idea what i did or press but its even not working in simple areas campgaing maps

[thin basin]

Doesnt have anything to do with the build

[pliant iris]

now its attacking monsters

instead of self buff like

[thin basin]

No idea what youre trying to say

That curse above his head in the video is from a mapmod you can roll in endgame maps, his build doesnt have anything related to it from what i can see

[pliant iris]

well above his head curse is swinging

[fiery wave]

i kinda wanna try going for life swap but then i hvae to swap all gear and thats zzzz

like just use the 3 reservations

[pliant iris]

when he use curses and he saying you have to curse up and im doing same nothing happens xD

[fiery wave]

and a regular chest

[thin basin]

Yes that curse is from mapmod youre not supoosed to have that

[fiery wave]

it is -15% ele res from map

[thin basin]

The curse hes taking about is in hand of chayula

[pliant iris]

i see i was wondering is it got bugged or fixed by ggg

[thin basin]

When you use hand of chayula it curses the enemy with whatever curse you put in the socket so hes starting the fight off with it

[fiery wave]

final i get a t16 and do i get chains & enfeeble

aaaaah

well time to die

[pliant iris]

yes but when he using curse its showing what its likr working and for me its invisible but before it was same for couple of days

[thin basin]

Ok go into a location press hand of chayula on an enemy, hover your mouse over that enemy then take a screenshot

[cosmic pike]

anyone has an idea of what type of dps on my spark should be around lvl 60 act 6 start - sitting around 600 rn

[sharp vortex]

prob like 1k?

[cosmic pike]

yikes

i felt like something is off

[vernal lodge]

How about this

[cosmic pike]

you mind if i dm you ?

[sharp vortex]

sure

[sharp vortex]

what is this

[vernal lodge]

Fire spark

Let's see if it works

[sharp vortex]

r you converting spark dmg to fire?

[vernal lodge]

Kinda both

[sharp vortex]

wdym both

[sharp vortex]

r you using a unique to convert the dmg to fire

[vernal lodge]

Has shock and ignite so it will deal fire and lightning dps

[fiery wave]

look i have curse :}

[thin basin]

Hes shooting it over flamewall and want to scale fire damage

Chances are the flat is too low to be wasting points scaling it

[vernal lodge]

I'm using flame wall to add fire damage

[pliant iris]

Well now it's working again 🤔🤭

[sharp vortex]

that fire dmg is so small

your basically wasting half your points btw

[fiery wave]

omfg i started the wrong friggen map

oh well

now im in augury with my t16 with an expedition lule

[thin basin]

100% of 100 is only 200 when spark over there doing like 5k

[bold remnant]

Lf good ranger class (ice or lightning)

[tidal copper]

Does crit DMG on your weapon work any differently?

[pliant iris]

thanks it working again but i updated skill tree with weapon swap so thats why its working again because at the beggining i didnt understand about weapon set 1 skill points and two and i was missing curses skill points again

[grim tangle]

How are ya’ll solving the es issue for bossing with invoker CI? Grim feast doesn’t work. I’ve seen people using meditate but idk about that

[fiery wave]

all im looking for a is a stupid lvl 20 skill gem

[thorny token]

click eternal youth on tree and done?

[thorny token]

weapons usually have base critdmg

[tidal copper]

Wtf we have more and increased critical damage now

[thorny token]

not increased crit dmg

[grim tangle]

I have that. The problem is I only have 3600 es for bosses

[thorny token]

which is huge difference

because inc crit dmg scales the base crit dmg

[tidal copper]

Where was this in the tutorial? QQQQQQ

[thorny token]

ah, i mean thats just getting more es jewels and better gear right

[frosty arrow]

any interesting ideas for a bow merc build. Maybe something with pure physical damage, maybe bleeds

snipe looks interesting, but you can't clear with snipe

[naive basin]

Anyone doing service 3 ascension?? add Dalai_

[thorny token]

you can clear with spiral volley

[tidal copper]

Use poison to start
You get volley in act2 cruel

[surreal hinge]

For reasons I'm having to play on controller, I tried playing a minion build on controller, but it feels bad to me compared to kb + m. What skills/playstyles feel nice on a controller?

[frosty arrow]

hmm, I gotta think about it. I just notice most builds end up being elemental one way or the other. I want something that's purely physical for the hell of it

[covert spade]

is there a shotgun effect with upheaval on sunder?

like if i stand close will enemies get hit by all 3 waves

[frosty arrow]

how do I generate frenzy charges the easiest way though

[hoary wave]

What would a second buff for dual wielding warrior be? I Already have Herald of Ash already

[tidal copper]

I'm doing snipe bleed
I feel that frenzy stack no bleed is better
You use the boots that pin with all physical you deal
It's free to support your combat frenzy with extra charge and you can even wear the amulet for extras

[frosty arrow]

you have any issues with armor on enemies? Or you use armor break on like poisonburst arrow for bosses

well, I got the boots. They're level 33. Is it a leveled unique? Can I find them at lower and higher rolls?

[tidal copper]

Exactly besides you can't really snipe enemies that aren't stunned so you have time to fully break armour and round up your frenzies

Poison snipe might be the second better way of playing this...

[frosty arrow]

I already end up using lots of poison on my grenadier., and hexblast caster with corpsewade. I want to step away from that a bit

I wanna just shoot things

i would make another crossbow merc, but again I already got one

also, you using gemling or witch hunter for this?

[tidal copper]

neither deadeye

[thorny token]

never use poison to start

poisonburst is actual ass skill

would recommend default attack over poisonburst

lul

as its better

[tidal copper]

i tried they are equally dissapointing

[hardy sparrow]

Is the leer cast hooded mask (50% more dmg from minions and 25% reduced player dmg) worth the tradeoff for witch?

[tidal copper]

Do test i would love to have a better ability

[thorny token]

50% increased

and dont helmets give +lvls

so i would say not worth

[tidal copper]

deadeye is really good for frenzies
Gemling ill guess will be good defensively

[thorny token]

yea for snipe deadeye is best, if you wanted defense idk if gemling is rly that much more defensive

[tidal copper]

i guess you only get the max res uh?...

what else would you for?

[fiery wave]

i die way too much lule

[distant pilot]

Anyone know if I should bother with staff of the caged god build of gemling or is it gonna be nerfed to shit you think haha

[grand steeple]

did you ever figure anything out? im currently struggling with this myself with bonestorm. all of the methods to generate power charges are so shitty for bonestorm

dont see the point of them giving it a power charge mechanic when you cant even use it reliably

[fiery wave]

i think there was only one node based way to generate charges

but i forgo abou tit

[frosty arrow]

I was thinking witch hunter, just because culling and decimating strike and explosions make clear a joke

[grand steeple]

resonance isnt good for bonestorm

[fiery wave]

i mean were missing half the game

i think alot of synergy is still to come

[grand steeple]

well i really dont see the excuse tbh

[fiery wave]

😂

okay

[thorny token]

lingering illusion + minion pact

[grand steeple]

dont people use that for monk?

[frosty arrow]

I've discovered how op lingering illusion is for generating charges on my monk

[grand steeple]

with the blink interaction

[onyx cargo]

Couldn’t I stack these 2 for a stupid hexblast buff

[thorny token]

minion pact is alternativeto blink

blink relieson getting far away from illusion

minion pact just kills it

and you get charge, simple

[thorny token]

no, all conmversion happens at once

which means archmage wont get converted

(no added as will be in fact)

[onyx cargo]

Sad, sounded like a cool idea

[thorny token]

yea the new system has some downsides for sure

for simplicity sake

[abstract mortar]

i figured out some ways to do it but idk tbh
still testing a bunch

[midnight geode]

yo guys do i get 40% projectile dmg from the 40% projectile speed gem if i get this node?

[thorny token]

no

[midnight geode]

unlucky

[thorny token]

the 40% proj speed is 40% more speed

and that node specifically says increases and reductions

[vernal lodge]

Can weapons add base fire damage to spark?

[arctic pond]

I took that node and gained increased damage

[thorny token]

there isnt any mod that has flat fire to spells on weps afaik

[bold remnant]

Someone has a frostbolt with coldsnap build?

link

[abstract mortar]

isnt this clunky as hell?
im making a build with high atkspeed and i need to have pretty much 100% uptime with maximum possible charges (or the highest uptime possible)
ive tested a bunch of ways, last ones being the 2 body armours and the sniper mark triggered in a cast on ***
with illusion u would need to dodge very very often and it would break the build

[thorny token]

i mean it doesnt work for every build obviously

but i think for bonestorm it would work just fine

[sharp vortex]

higher is better always obv

but u should not go out of your way to get it

[abstract mortar]

yeah right
also for this to work u need to use CI correct?

[thorny token]

i havent tested it on life but I think not, i think that line isjust for the damage bonus

but the minion would die either way

[abstract mortar]

ive seen some videos

and for whatever reason that i cant remember, without CI the minion wont die

[thorny token]

i can test rq

[tranquil basalt]

Hello, I would like to know if there is a guide or documentation somewhere that explains stats on gear. For example if I see "gain % of damage as extra lightning damage" I dont know the end result of that and how it compares with lets say "Increased lightning damage". I want to know if there is documentation that explains how are these stats applied to my damage, so I would be better informed when I try to upgrade my gear. Thanks

[abstract mortar]

anyway, do u know another reliable way to generate those charges? using either one of the chests works fine, charge on hit and on crit
but i do lose morior with increased stats, so it kinda sucks @thorny token

[abstract mortar]

its literally 5% of your damage as extra dmg
and if i remember correctly this extra damage cant be converted

increased damage is pretty much what it suggests, its an additive stat
when you read MORE, its a multiplicative stat

[fiery wave]

yes

[tranquil basalt]

I am asking in general. This is one example stat. Is there a tool/docs/wiki or something i can refer to

[thorny token]

yea it only works with CI

[fiery wave]

when it says "gain 25% additional fire damage"

[thorny token]

so rip wthout i guess

[abstract mortar]

poe2db.tw

[thorny token]

depends for what build

[hushed umbra]

Does this deal damage before or after armour break is consumed?

If it's after its targeted at conversion skills?

[abstract mortar]

i literally need to have as many charges as fast as possible everytime lol

im building falling thunder as a primary dmg dealer

[tranquil basalt]

Thanks

[abstract mortar]

so it consumes power charges to extra projectiles and extra dmg

[thorny token]

profane ritual with cos or cast on kill?

and unleash/echo on it maybe?

[abstract mortar]

ahhnnn

yeah, for mapping sure

but for mapping i can use combat frenzy actually

the issue is single target

[thorny token]

for single target you can pregenerate right

how many charges you need

[abstract mortar]

doesnt work

the skill consumes them

and i want to have them as often as possible

to be consumed yet again

[thorny token]

well wep swap profane ritual can give you a bunch i think still

at once

[abstract mortar]

hell nah

the skill consumes every charge

also

it has high atkspeed

swapping to cast profane ritual and back to 1/2 hits if it not consume them is not worth it

this is why i tested the chests and sniper mark on cast on shock

the chests work just fine

the thing is that i lose increased stats from morior regalia

so im trying to figure out another reliable way to do it

sniper's mark seems the way

combat frenzy for mapping, sniper's mark on cast on shock for bosses

plus resonance, of course

yeah i think this is the best way actually lol

this or the chests
voll's protector / redflare conduit

[thin basin]

Is there such thing as too much duration/proj speed for spark

Like maybe its moving too fast it cant chain to closeby enemies?

[fiery wave]

is it better to put armor rune on ES chest?

i put 2% mana pool on everything

like is 20% es gain more than 2% pool

dont think i can see my base pool anywhere

[abstract mortar]

herald of thunder works on bosses?

without the buff

[mild owl]

What sort of builds benefit from this the most?

[dense stag]

Anyone know of a good stat stacking monk build? Ideally a build guide with a YouTube video? Thanks!

[thin basin]

U gotta sell this

Hundreds of divine

[mild owl]

Looks like it's around 70 rn.. wondering if I should make a build around it or not

Right now have an endgame infernalist and stormweaver

[flat island]

can somebody link me a good maxroll monk guide? just made the character

can be endgame/early, idm

[thin basin]

Uh i think any builds can build around it? Its just really expensive to get the blue ones going

Really good blues corrupted are like 5-10div each

Decent ones are around 1div

Unless you just wanna sit and snipe cheap ones i guess 5-20ex but you need to corrupt yourself

[thorny token]

yea jewels are so insanely broken adornes isbis on every single build in the game :d

if you want something that scales better than rest from jewels tho then there is pconc or bonestorm stuff with quiver effect

[thin basin]

20% es and good 2nd mod with implicit prob 10div my guess

[thorny token]

but downside is that you are losing 40% es per jewel slot there

(also you would probs hit dot cap before anyway lul)

also just regular bow build is gonna scale crazy well from quiver effect jewels as those ar ejust busted

[winged heron]

@thorny token do you know why the controlled metamorphosis jewels sometimes has no radius on it?

[thorny token]

someone vaaled them off xd

i would assume

[winged heron]

okay.. what does that do to the jewel? lol

[thorny token]

probs make it useless or make it have some default radius

its more likely that it will just be useless

[winged heron]

good to know before I buy one 😄

[rapid star]

does the Level of Grim Feast matters too much? kinda having trouble reaching the int requirement for the higher lvl ones

[thorny token]

it gains a lot of recovery from high level

but its still good even as low level

[sharp vortex]

pretty much

and u got the spare points

[thorny token]

aah why is it so hard to find good clear setup without heralds

[rapid star]

Bad desing and games lacks a lot of gems atm

[thorny token]

im looking at this theorycrafted setup for deadeye with 8k es and 14k eva with acro, and solved single target but the clear is just unsolvable

[thorny token]

yea game desperately needs more options for clear

[rapid star]

It would sove the problem if the gem slots worked like the passive tree
If we had 2 or 3 gem slots that could hold different gems depending on the primary or secondary weapon set it would solve a lot of those problems

[worthy swallow]

Is there a way to increase Presence AOE besides a possible 30% increase from scepters?

[thorny token]

yea that would defo help but even if i had extra slots this is original sin build so i literally have nothing to use for boosting clear lul

[rapid star]

yeah that sucks lol

[upbeat crow]

is this amulet good for spark build?

[humble wave]

https://i.gyazo.com/b7f94f5aeca20b9d8743d4222c0ab0c2.png

I would like to target this head for a stormfire build. However, I am unsure how Chance Orbs work. Will ANY Lace Hood turn into this and have the same stats, regardless of the Lace Hood's base stats? Will an Advanced Lace Hood and Lace Hood upgraded by this get the same stats?

[neat bison]

Only a default lace hood, the advanced and expert are just placeholder items for bases not in the game yet

[humble wave]

so trying to upgrade an advanced lace hood would... do what? nothing?

[hushed umbra]

If it gives you what you need. 🤷‍♀️

[neat bison]

It wont let you waste a chance but yes it’ll say that it can’t be upgraded or something along those lines

[humble wave]

well my chaos orb is gone

it failed on a normal lace hood 😭

[neat bison]

Well yeah

It’s rng

[winged heron]

is there a way to see how big the radius of a jewel is without owning the jewel?

like a planer or something

[strange sierra]

Don't see any mercs taking Two handed damage passives. For galvanic/shockburst , are they just not worth having?

[thin basin]

Maybe i just need to stop running monster take 50% less dmg from crit on a crit build

[rapid star]

Monk don't really need accuracy on gear right?

[manic iron]

How do I get Sigil of power?

[arctic pond]

Are frenzy charges actually any good?

[sharp vortex]

no

[sharp vortex]

u get it off a staff

[prime crystal]

on lightning deadeye do you just dump all your attribute nodes on dex and try to get min int for your skills with gear or how do you go on about it

[hidden crown]

What is the best deadeye build for endgame?
-Cast on crit ice shot
-Cast on shock lighting with crit
-Cast on shock lighting without crit
-other (explain pls)

[waxen dust]

I’m doing a poison gas build and my friend is playing a sorcerer. We just discovered the detonation combo from poison gas and fire wall/burning enemies.

If I continue down the poison gas build will this hurt my damage cause my poison is exploding and if so how do I get more damage from the explosions since it happens so often.

[thorny token]

you can grab plaguefinger and make the explosions poison as well

but ideally just tell your friend to not use flame wall, if hes playing like spark etc its not that important

[thin basin]

dropped chain for shockc for bossin

forgor to swap back

no ownder why my clear felt so ass

LMAO

[thin basin]

This was why i asked

[viral crag]

Just in case I am missing something... are there any nodes benefiting "damage over time" specifically on the tree?

[vivid ferry]

whats the catalyst that gives all ele res?
looks like any ele catalyst would work

[viral crag]

Able to find heartstopper on the defensive side, not seeing any offensive nodes for it.

[heady nova]

Is crystalline potential essential for gemling or enhanced effectiveness?

[thin basin]

I think in poe2 they make it so “all elemental” have fire lightning and cold tag so any of those catalyst would increase the all res?

[glacial bay]

Hey all does the added fire dmg too attacks also apply to spells for witch builds?

[vivid ferry]

seems like so, because ive seen a bunch of cold quality actually increase the all ele res mod. seems odd to do it that way

[timid cloud]

no i dont think so, check to see if the gem that you use has attack tag on it or no

[brisk crystal]

if my wand have "gain # of damage as lightning" - does that means my cold spells could also inflict shock???

[timid cloud]

yes

[brisk crystal]

noice! thank you

[timid cloud]

but the amount of lightning damage you do matters

[glacial bay]

Ooooh so when it says +dmg to attacks it means skills with attack here ?? I did not know that! 😛

[rocky pilot]

are you SSF? there is zero reason to chance this

[astral willow]

so for the purposes of wind wave, what counts as using a skill? Like if I have it on tempest bell, will it trigger as long as the bell is active, or only during attack animation

[shadow blade]

None, best build is what you enjoy
And poison deadeye

[timid cloud]

yea but im not sure of spells consider as attacks as well or no, maybe they do

[humble wave]

i am not, how else would you get it?

[shadow blade]

Can I mark an enemy with two marks? E.g.

Mark an enemy with the mark that increases chance to shock then mark the enemy with the mark that increases freeze build up?

[timid cloud]

yes with hand if chiulla you can

[glacial bay]

it might not going through my skills and it has replaced spell to attack on earthquake

[rocky pilot]

just buy it from someone through the trade site. that is a 1 ex unique

you can also ask in Trade channel 1

[static plinth]

(For reference, chance orbs sell for 7ex)

[hybrid ocean]

Are you unable to allocate keystones to weapon sets? Trying to do that with resonance right now and seem to be unable to

[static plinth]

No you cant

[vast plaza]

I just learnt that physical and melee damages have 50% increased stun build up each. So if I have a physical melee skill and I converted 75% physical damage to fire damage, how does the conversion affects the skill's stun buildup?

[hybrid ocean]

Damn

[spark fog]

Does plus damage on gloves add to minion damage? Or is that only personal damage?

[static plinth]

The 25% left over will deal the 100% increased stun, the fire will deal 50% inc

[timid cloud]

i guess +any type of damage to attacks also adds to spell damage as well

[humble wave]

is that a channel in this disc?

[neat bison]

Minions don’t benefit from your stats unless it’s specifically tagged minions or allies. or you convert your amulet with that one keystone

[timid cloud]

personal

[spark fog]

thanks, that's what I thought but wanted to be sure

[vast plaza]

I see, thank you!

[civic pollen]

so i slotted in an ahdorned and it didnt help my other jewl stats. and yes they are corrupted

[timid cloud]

someone confirm this if they know

[static plinth]

Theyre Magic right?
Also it wont show on the jewel itself

[civic pollen]

oh they can only be magic? not rare?

[static plinth]

Yes

[civic pollen]

....

fml

[open gulch]

do we have something like that but +2 to energy shield per 1 evasion or something?

[thorny token]

for helmet? no

[hybrid ocean]

On chest piece yeah

[open gulch]

No for helmet, overall

[hybrid ocean]

over on the outer edge of the monk side of the tree

[open gulch]

That's why im asking for name of this node because i cant find on tree

[hybrid ocean]

There exists no such node for total conversion, only for the chest piece

[open gulch]

oh

sad

[hybrid ocean]

This one here

Top right of the cluster in the middle of that image

[open gulch]

Oh, yes, thank you

[grave pendant]

would there be any point to putting Brutality on Power Siphon?

i can't really find anything worth putting on Power Siphon besides Life Bounty or the Drains

[distant pilot]

How bad you think sorc and flicker strike on gemling is gonna get nerfed

[rocky pilot]

um not really much at all

flicker strike was already nerfed and is fine.
sorcerer, whcih you actually mean stormweaver? is mostly an average ascendancy. Elemental storm is mediocre, perma arcane surge is fine. Archmage spirit gem will likely be nerfed but i doubt the ascendancy

Chronomancer i'd like to see buffs to its intermediary nodes. But personally i think the class is quite strong and has no skills to be used.
It's actually very very likely Time Freeze will eventually get nerfed

[hazy cairn]

https://streamable.com/7eeopi
only lvl 65 but fulminating Concoction seems good

[distant pilot]

Good to know cause I just finished campaign and was wanting to go down the route of staff of the caged god but didn’t want to spend the currency or acquire the currency and it be useless build lol

[fair widget]

sorcerer as an ascendancy itself isnt overpowered, it just happens that a lot of spell based builds and skills are strong right now

and with energy shield being relatively overtuned compared to life as primary defense, it makes it seem like sorcerer is op

[rocky pilot]

and elemental spells in general actually need buffs. there is a chance Spark gets nerfed, but the large majority of other spells are in a pretty weak place. Either due to incredibly low base damage AND low base crit or obnoxious Diablo 4 generator-spender gameplay.
If they choose to touch the spells, i'm mostly hoping fire gets buffs and Firestorm gets its bossing-oversight fixed

[distant pilot]

Okay cool so I can safely build the flickerstrike or whatever and still map and clear just fine

[rocky pilot]

you should instead just play the game man. instead of trying to dodge imaginary nerfs

[fair widget]

Yep

That being said its early access and you never know when ggg might wanna do a big balance change to all the stuff that they deem is overtune / undertuned

[distant pilot]

Okay cool thankyou

[rain dust]

Is there any way to make molten blast do damage up close

[thin basin]

2 wheels, some jewels and temp chain to make it feel good enough and u calling for nerfs 😔

[rocky pilot]

Increase skill effect duration was made so that every single class of PoE 2 has access to 2 wheels. With merc getting the leasts, they are always readily available with one being in close proximity to the start, and another being farther away.
They're really not a limit at all.

Temp Chain is just doing what its inteded, and is also.. not even slightly a barrier

[rugged lily]

what are wheels referring to

[grave pendant]

well that's fun. Skeletal Cleric keeps minions with Infernal Legion alive

[rocky pilot]

Time freeze is incredibly OP. thats just an unavoidable nerf.
a Chronomancer on a strong build with time freeze crushes all content effortlessly. The problem is the ascendancy offers nothing to basically anything in the current game. Cooldown reset is useless outside of a random cheese build with Hammer of the gods (which is not good) or Frost Bomb (which is good but wants reduced duration)

It has really bad intermediary nodes so it gets no extra stats, Life is terrible so recoup doesn't work, and we lack any melee skills for chronomancer to really enjoy. Nor any good skills that want Increased Duration

[viral crag]

Is there anything that scales damage over time besides the usual specific damaging stats (intelligence, +skills, spell damage, corresponding element bonuses)

[rocky pilot]

if they add druid/templar, its likely Chronomancer immediately pops off

[thin basin]

Yea but thats potential 9ish points for more crit stuff?

[rocky pilot]

its not. since for one thing Crit is limited on tree, and two. you can very easily grab that... and crit

every class can grab increased or reduced skill effect

it is not a problem

[fair widget]

When someone says wheel in poe they're normally referring to a cluster of passives + notable at the end of it, mostly from older poe1 passive tree where they were all arranged in a circle

[thin basin]

If i can 1 tap t4 arbiter whats the point of time stop?

[rocky pilot]

not only is that example... meaningless.
But... because.. if you can't one tap arbiter.. you get like 15 seconds of free DPS phase every 45 seconds

[hidden crown]

What is the best deadeye build for endgame?
-Cast on crit ice shot
-Cast on shock lighting with crit
-Cast on shock lighting without crit
-other (explain pls)

[rocky pilot]

literally nothing is hard for a chronomancer with a good build. Time Freeze WILL be nerfed eventually. Maybe even after they buff the class if they choose to do so.

[thin basin]

Yea but then youd have to do mechanics that 1 shot

[rugged lily]

nothing is hard for a --- with a good build?

[fair widget]

Depending on what you want to do but pretty sure the lightning arrow build is the strongest rn

[hidden crown]

I wanna do T15 maps and have the higher chance to win

[thorny solar]

do we think this is worth 2 divines?

[fair widget]

Cause while those builds are strong, they're also relatively popular and can be expensive to gear

[vital plume]

why

[fair widget]

lol no that's like less than 1ex

[thorny solar]

yeah i was like 2 divines is a little fishy...

[upbeat crow]

do i want to pay 3 div for a non corruped 20 qual gem for spark or 2 div 20qual corrupted one, what do i do guys?

[thorny solar]

gtood quarterstaffs are h ard to come by

[fair widget]

not true, you can get a good quarterstaff on trade for <30ex that carries you through t16 maps if you're playing icestrike / tempest flurry builds

[thin basin]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_3EBcciMK4

[thorny solar]

maybe im not sure what i should be looking for then, cause to me that staff looks pretty good at leasdt

[fair widget]

ultimately the overall dps of the quarterstaff is the most important, and ideally its a high pdps since most monk skills are only converting a portion of their dmg to elemental

[thorny solar]

i see.

[fair widget]

check out #1308715317375270952 on how to calculate dps

[thorny solar]

yes my lord.

so then something liek th is would be pretty good

[fair widget]

uh not really, no

245 is low for quarterstaff dps

im assuming you're post campaign since you're asking here

[hidden crown]

How to see the tabs on the right just like this?

[thorny solar]

i would be lying if i said im not done with cruel

so i should jsut wait till endgame to really worry about buying endgame staffs?

[fair widget]

ahh ok, then that's ok for campaign

well

you get what you need with how much you have

no point buying a 500 dps staff if its lvl req is 60+ and you can't equip it

[thorny solar]

ok ok i see

thanks

[fair widget]

if you're in campaign

set trade filter to 1 ex maximum and sort it by dps

then buy the best thing you can get that you can equip

[thorny solar]

u have made me a smarter man today

[fair widget]

so double check its requirements

[thorny solar]

heard

rushing blood magic basically and the first accension heh

[wet mango]

for lightning builds, there are plenty of better clusters to take. As a Cold Merc, I do take it.

[wet mango]

attacks and spells are mutually exclusive

[main cedar]

Currently playing invoker monk, have been testing cast on shock and it has massively increased my damage however it causes me to run into mana issues. Is there any easy solution to this?

[fair widget]

unfortunately no, inspiration on whichever is costing the most mana is the only advice

[wet mango]

spells and attacks are mutually exclusive

[fair widget]

as well as grabbing some reduced manacost passives

[pliant viper]

think i'm reroll and try

[solid badger]

I'd love some advice on items/gear to make this homemade build work. The goal is to stack strength to the highest amounts possible in order to leverage damage out of Shockwave on the Stomping Ground Support (which deals 120% of strength as physical damage) and Corrupted Blood from Corrupted Cry (which deals 25% of Strength per stack per second). I'm running Stampede as my primary attack right now, with Seismic Cry to apply Corrupted Blood. However, I have a few issues:

1. Is Stampede really the best option to synergize with Stomping Ground?
2. Other than Strength, what modifier (e.g. Physical Damage, Area Damage, Enhanced Skill Duration) would best improve BOTH Stampede and Stomping Ground.
3. Are there any MUST HAVE notables or items you can think of with this build?

Thanks for the help!

[woeful sundial]

Is considered casting really good or really bad for charged staff? If it only makes consuming the charges slower, that’s gotta be really good no?

Does it make my ice strike 15% slower too?

[thin basin]

That support gem only help with spell hits

[woeful sundial]

Yeah but it’s there for possible supports is it just dumb to be there lol

[thin basin]

Anything with cast time can be support by it i assume

[woeful sundial]

Hmm. Might as well test it

If it only makes consuming the charge slower but boosts the lightning damage by 40% that’d be nice

[static plinth]

It buffs the lightning shockwaves with the only downside being a slightly longer activation time

Basically free damage

[woeful sundial]

Well damn. Taking that then

[static plinth]

Wait

Woah thats weird

Its both an attack and a spell

I, dont actually know if what i said si right

IT seems like whats intended but this is a weird ass skill

[thin basin]

Well its a spell that takes charges and give you attack buff

2 different part

[woeful sundial]

I don’t know it’s there as a possible support. I know they have some possible supports that actively do nothing listed there. But I’ll see

[thin basin]

Chances are you can put in faster casting

You can check the dps btw just click on details tab

[scarlet oasis]

Hoping someone could give me some ideas how to improve my sorc dmg, currently lvl 43 using spark and flame wall, gears pretty good for lvl but my dmg just isn't there

[rugged creek]

improve weapon quality maybe

[scarlet oasis]

Does that change wands? (Mine is 20% quality)

[solid badger]

weapon quality increases spell damage?

idk if that's right?

[neat bison]

For wands/staves it’s just for the innate skill

[solid badger]

Spark is insanely OP right now, there are tons of guides on how to leverage it to do stupid damage.

[carmine flicker]

Spark, arc or DD for infernalist ?
Can't decide

[solid badger]

I'd suggest getting the chain node and then figuring out how fork and pierce interact.

Spark is 100% the best, if you only care about output.

But it will almost certainly get nerfed.

[carmine flicker]

Currently have like 6k base DD damage from brutes

Spark doesn't look like even 20% of that

[solid badger]

Without investment DD is going to do more damage, but Spark has a much higher damage ceiling.

[tame viper]

could any high lvl attribute stacking flicker step monk pm me? need a bit of help with build - can pay ex if needed

[solid badger]

It's literally OP.

[carmine flicker]

What investment do I need?

Except archmage I guess

[solid badger]

You need to understand how pierce, fork, and chain interact with each other and then get a certain amount of each.

For example you need 50% pierce

[carmine flicker]

How does that help with bossing?

[gray crag]

do delirious monsters have high elemental ailment thresholds?

[thorny token]

decompose does twice as much damage as DD btw if you wanted other options :d

[carmine flicker]

Cause I have 0 trouble clearing, all I need is more boss damage (dd explode like 1/2 boss, then 8 sec cool down for skellies to revive and that's way too long)

[solid badger]

I don't know the mechanics well enough to help you. What I do know is that Spark is so OP right now that its the best window you have for making an insane build.

[thorny token]

you use clerics for reviving minions, in ideal scenario there is no cooldown

unless you are killing your clerics too or they are just dying

[carmine flicker]

Didn't try them yet, kinda overlooked their existence

With all my minion life investment I doubt they would die much, idk

[flat edge]

yo im trying to make a weird build with dead eye and power charges, but i dont want to use a bow. does anyone have any good imput on what i should do?

[thorny token]

well you can just use quarterstaves

nothing is stopping you

even though i guess then proj nodes are useless lul

[carmine flicker]

Isn't it some poison damage thing?
I know you love poison, but I just don't know how does it scale now and if it's good

[thorny token]

yes

its 40% of corpse life as gas cloud

and posion is good i got some theorycrafts for poison hitting dot cap

also decompose is literally walk in circle simulator on bosses so im sure thats something you would like probably :d

[carmine flicker]

So I didn't try poison in poe2 yet
Whole 100500 nodes I need too spend on "wrong" side of tree to get poison limit was kinda turning me of the idea

Id if I need them tho

[thorny token]

you need the max poison nodes for sure

[carmine flicker]

Ehh, so far my dream is some stupid 2k es regen infernalist

To NOT walk in circles)

(or at all)

You know, my favourite simulator is sleeping on spacebar simulator)

[still rock]

im not a huge fan of the poison skills just being a function of attack damage % but i guess its much easier to balance

and for flavor

[thorny token]

well the walking is required for the boots to trigger you can walk in any direction doesnt amtter :d

[tidal copper]

and the vision

[thorny token]

i def dont love that they made them limited but oh well

still better ailment than both ignite and bleed combined

so i take what i can get, i like dot builds a lot more than hit builds in general

[carmine flicker]

But will try adding some clerics for sure and see how ot goes

[still rock]

yeah because they just slapped a big % on it and said this is now poison damage and it doesnt hit but it hits

kind of cookie cutter answer imo

w/e

[tidal copper]

Lily has a DD guide btw

[carmine flicker]

Ehh, never used guides in my years of poe

Except when I wrote my own for formatting reference

[tidal copper]

Sounds like a happy existence

[upper bane]

Can anyone tell me what these numbers and colors mean?

[tidal copper]

What's this guide from?

[upper bane]

Maxroll, point planner that I am following

[fair widget]

looks like passive points, weapon set 1, weapon set 2, and ascendancy

[tidal copper]

I mean who wrote as I'm pretty sure it's Raxx (?) He had a lengthy video explaining why the tree and how to tree

[still rock]

it is

[upper bane]

why the tree and how to tree!

I actually didnt know you could allocate points for weapon sets. I have not used it this entire time into mapping tier 15 lol

[still rock]

the applications are fairly niche until more people explore it

[silk mantle]

hey guys i just got this as a drop, would it be worth using for my monk?

[still rock]

and asking poe players to experiment on their own is like asking a dog to do your math homework

[tidal copper]

Disagree
They have pretty obvious applications and many niche ones

[still rock]

The applications being superior than ignoring it in regards of optimization

is fairly niche imo atm

[carmine flicker]

Thx for pointing at that guide
Looked at it and noticed brute scale with physical mastery support
Completely missed that little thing myself
Ehh, may be I really should look at guides.. but that make the game less interesting

[still rock]

Sure you can do a lot of things with it but whether or not those things actually optimize your build seems more slim than not

they definitely exist tho

[frosty arrow]

bruh, first time playing bow and some abilities are crazy. Barrage and snipe just literally oneshot act 1 boss wtf

[tidal copper]

Yes after looking at a guide you just know your build sucks and you could be destroying everything instead of senseless grinding
I feel it hurts more than it helps that's why I used builds nobody wants or are hidden in the depths

[still rock]

I'm curious how they're going to address snipe

it's possible to one shot pinnacles rn

[old ermine]

Anyone know any good/viable hardcore builds?

[tidal copper]

They always do
So long as your character uses one skill for clearing and one other for bossing is great
Blink on swap is also pretty obvious and strong

[still rock]

I'm referring specifically to the weapon set points not weapon swap as a whole

[carmine flicker]

Ehh, I usually want moar tank, not more damage
And guides tend to suck in that regard

[rocky steppe]

how do i deal with mana issues on tempest flurry ?

[carmine flicker]

When "omg wtf uber mega tanky build" can't even afk uber memory game..
Meh
I know there are good tank ones
But not that many, or I didn't see them

[frosty arrow]

so snipe deals guaranteed crit, right? So it's a matter of stacking crit damage to boost it's damage

[tidal copper]

You see there are two types of crit DMG and you should stack both
You didn't miss that part of the tutorial right?

[fair widget]

easy solution is to use inspiration until you have more mana regen / some mana on kill etc

[tidal copper]

Sounds like a high standard lol

[thorny token]

well for snipe specifically after linking the 100% crit damage support you dont rly need to bother wtih anything else othr than base crit damage on weapon, that one is actually very important

[frosty arrow]

there is crit chance, and crit damage multiplier. That's it

[thorny token]

there is base crit damage and inc crit damage

base crit damage is only on weapon (and snipers mark but snipers mark is bugged atm)

[tidal copper]

Oh so sniper mark should be doing more DMG?

[frosty arrow]

since base crit damage doesn't seem to be displayed anywhere I can't be bothered to worry about it

[thorny token]

yea snipers mark should be base

but it acts as increased atm

[tidal copper]

Nice we going up

[frosty arrow]

also at what point in a tutorial game even talks about crits

[tidal copper]

whoos miss the joke

[thorny token]

well +50 base crit damage is literally 50% more crit multi

[subtle turret]

is warrior warcry build viable for early and endgame? i lowkey want a click 1 button kill everything build, dont like sorc so far

[thorny token]

as you go from 100 base crit damage to 150

[frosty arrow]

all I got for a tutorial is use wasd to move, and press right mouse button to use an ability. The end. Then like 130 hours into the game I got a popup that actually said to use ` to control minions

[thorny token]

and that then gets scaled by increased crit damage

[carmine flicker]

Well
May be
I just like when I can completely ignore most boss mechanics
I can do them
Just really don't want
It's it's own kind of power fantasy I guess

[sturdy sable]

How do i make a build in max roll

I dont see create a build anywhere

[frosty arrow]

again, is that displayed anywhere or I just have to guess that such thing exists? For as much text game throws at you half of the useful shit is missing, and what's there barely matters

[thorny token]

it will be accounted in your total crit damage display

[tidal copper]

Memory game is literally impossible to tank by 99% of builds the fuck you playing? It sounds like you should be writing guides

[thorny token]

so yes

[sturdy sable]

Everything useful is shown lol

[frosty arrow]

everything that's useful is shown? Show me your elemental ailment threshold and how it works

or stun threshold

[carmine flicker]

My last one was transcendence/charge stacker slam jugg
With some armor stack on the side, ofc, for transcendence

[sturdy sable]

Weapons/Spells have base crit chances, crits do 200% damage, critical damage bonus increases the 200%, increased crit chance increases the base crit chance

[frosty arrow]

meaningless numbers

[sturdy sable]

Crit isn’t complicated

[frosty arrow]

nobody said it was. I understand how it works. I just said I'm not worried about base crit damage

because...why

it's just there

[sturdy sable]

Because it’s directly relevant to how much you’re critting

[thorny token]

because it gets scaled by increased crit damage

[sturdy sable]

Oh

[frosty arrow]

okay, and? Since base crit damage is...well, base it is what it is. I can affect multiplier

[sturdy sable]

Because it tells you how much damage ur crits do

[tidal copper]

Interesting transcendence builds are expensive aren't there?...
I'll look into it I'm curious

[frosty arrow]

so that's what I'n worried about

[thorny token]

i am talking about the multiplier

[sturdy sable]

Wat

[tranquil basalt]

is it important to get multiple charms on belt? I am on a budget, is it worth it over chaos res or armour?

[sturdy sable]

What are you talking about

I don’t really get it

[thorny token]

there are 2 stats

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Standard/aDaR8dRSe

this is 1

base crit damage bonus

[tidal copper]

Another one who missed the tutorial

[thorny token]

and other is increased crit damage bonus

[carmine flicker]

Well
My costed like 20 div.. then I got mage blood, then it exploded to like 500 div...(Including mageblood)

[thorny token]

that scales the base crit damage bnus

[tidal copper]

[thorny token]

cris have 100% base crit damage bonus by default

[sturdy sable]

What is the confusion

[thorny token]

and increased crit damage scales that

its very simple

[frosty arrow]

why are you still talking about this, I don't get it

[sturdy sable]

😭

[tidal copper]

Well you do need 500 divines to tank the slam but I guess that goes for any build it doesn't sound too bad for an end game build

[sturdy sable]

Anyone know how to put a build into maxroll

[tidal copper]

Can you get a sweet screenshot I don't really understand the issue

[earnest walrus]

Trying to understand mechanics: solar orb "pulses" with damage. To make it pulse faster or more often, would that be modifying it's attack speed? It can't be lowering skill duration because that's just making the orb disappear faster. So, what modifies a skills "attacks" or repeated effects?

[sturdy sable]

Theres no issue idk where the button is

[thorny token]

well you asked about scaling snipe im telling you about one of the most important stats for it

[sturdy sable]

Like deadass just cant find out how to put a build into this

Lol

[thorny token]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/ go to planner

[sturdy sable]

Ty

[thorny token]

then there is this settings button on right

and there you can click save

it will generate link for others

[tidal copper]

Don't say too loud I got banned like that

Using wealthy exile lately

[carmine flicker]

Banned for 3 button forbidden word?

[tidal copper]

There was a controversy and I was adding fuel to the fire
(Not in their discord but around here)

[carmine flicker]

Deleted all mentions

Anyway, it with end charges buff it was rather easy

Idk what would I do when they nerf them next league

[cursive maple]

I've completed A4 with this build and can pretty consistently clear T15 maps, any obvious upgrades to my build that stand out or will it be more of a min-max from now on?

[carmine flicker]

Will think of something I guess

[thorny token]

save up for sublime because everything else sucks basically :d

i never actually finished my viper strike with sublime rip just peaced out from the league at like 2 mirrors

[tidal copper]

Options to be tanky enough for Maven...
Maybe a life stacker?

[carmine flicker]

Sublime was done when it was at it's prime with 90 res 150% effect less damage flask and all

Was.. good
I guess

[thorny token]

well there just isnt anything else anymore if they nerf endus so not like you have choices

[earnest walrus]

Anyone? Unless that's just not a modifiable "thing" in this game, and if so, ok

[thorny token]

just like in poe2 if they nerf es there are 0 defenses left xd

[carmine flicker]

Yeah

[thorny token]

or well not if, when

[carmine flicker]

Casual 5k es with 0 es items

[fair widget]

Dont think you can modify it

[velvet blade]

Just use temporalis blink to stay alive :D

[tidal copper]

There isn't any info in the skill description

[tidal copper]

One shot with DD archmage
Classic works in both games in every league

[carmine flicker]

Armor doesn't work in poe2 at all
Block and Eva are chance based...

[thorny token]

i bet its possible to get like 50k

probs even more

with overflow ofc

[earnest walrus]

Ok (never played poe1), so, if the skill description doesn't explain how a particular part of the skill could be modified, the assumption is it's not modifiable? Or I'm not understanding something different about skill language?

[carmine flicker]

Yeah
But so far I had 5k with eldritch battery
That's fun

[velvet blade]

really depends on the skill but currently it's probably best to test things out if you can

[carmine flicker]

Can go for 10k if I sacrifice amulet slot

[tidal copper]

Yes unless weird hidden mechanics, which so happen often but will leave in the territory of throwing pasta to the wall see what sticks
What have you tried?

[carmine flicker]

Overflow is.. tbh I'm too lazy to do the whole collect blue wisps thing

[earnest walrus]

That was my intent, to just keep trying random things, but I wanted to try to have a foundational understanding of why/how.

[tidal copper]

Not an affliction fan?

[forest vigil]

is there a modifier that increases spirit on amulet?

[carmine flicker]

Was good league
I never visited that forest
But league was good

[velvet blade]

Rain of arrows says it's attack damage is 185% of base. Does this mean that each arrow deals that amount of damage, or is that damage spread out across all arrows in the rain?

[neat bison]

You mean like a catalyst? No

[carmine flicker]

Well
Except few fimes for the whole ascendancy thingy

[tidal copper]

Mood

[forest vigil]

yes

thanks

[neat bison]

np

[tidal copper]

[thorny token]

each arrow

its always per instance

[velvet blade]

holy shit

now that's a lot of damage

[thorny token]

its not holy shit because most of those arrows wont hit anything

[tidal copper]

Don't hold your breath is a very disappointing

[velvet blade]

oh

[earnest walrus]

So far only easy things like aoe alterations, cascades, duration, etc. But I'm trying to now think deeper than just the simple spell and trying to understand the nuances.

[velvet blade]

idk, the radius seems super concentrated with conc effect support

A medium size boss would take at least 80% of the hits

[earnest walrus]

I think what's tripping me up is thinking in terms of this is a spell, but the spell itself also hits

I feel dumb AF 😂

[tidal copper]

You must be killing it super fast?!

[thorny token]

nah it wont they added limit for the hits as well lul

[velvet blade]

lmao wtf

That's not stated anywhere on the gem

[thorny token]

it is not indeed

was just mention in patch note

[carmine flicker]

For firestorm too
And it was "proc srs. The skill" already

[tidal copper]

Pretty sure solar orb has two parts it works like a totem or something cause you can link font of rage right?
There might be something there

[velvet blade]

I'm just testing it in my hideout theorycrafting a build

[thorny token]

https://poepatchnotes.com/poe2 oh this site is updated also for poe2 already

lets go
