[upper bane]

Why do I have 7 weapon set skill points unable to be allocated? Is it based on level cap?

[thorny token]

dumb change but yea

[velvet blade]

They don't even say what the hit rate is...

[thorny token]

indeed :d

[velvet blade]

so dumb

[carmine flicker]

Poe2 whole thing is "fun not allowed" if you ask me

[tidal copper]

They are about to add a DPS dummy don't worry

[velvet blade]

This would be nice

[thorny token]

yea kinda, and repeating poe1 mistakes

and then maybe correcting them later :d

well not even mistakes but issues long solved in poe1

and just doing them again just for fun

[tidal copper]

PoE 1 is in a great state one can only hope

[carmine flicker]

It looks so much as poe1 beta.. in some things

Except no move skills

[thorny token]

i think at least the endgame is in its best state it was ever been atm

in poe1

[earnest walrus]

Right, it's a spell that makes an object, the object then causes hits at a particular damage range. Which is why I started trying you get my brain to think in terms of how I could modify the object separate from modifying the cast/spell, if that makes sense?

[thorny token]

but i rly like a lot of stuff in poe2

so hoping they fix the rest eventually :d

and if not then theres the other game always anyway probs not going anyhere for now

[wet mango]

it's a spell that gives you an attack buff

[tidal copper]

Correct issue is that an object isn't a minion so it's hard to buff in any way
Maybe allies stuff apply?

[carmine flicker]

Why would they need poe2 to be like poe1?
They already have poe1
They need different game for different player base
Except it's not the case now
It's just worse poe1, not sidegrade

[neat bison]

Yeah the endgame is basically just mega scuffed poe 1 atm

[thorny token]

well they probs also want to catch poe1 players so maybe thats where the conflict in whats actually in poe2 lies

[carmine flicker]

They have poe1 for poe1 players

And it will either worse poe1 for them or.. or not
And then it's another poe1

[fair widget]

Its already another poe1

[earnest walrus]

I'll fiddle with that. I'll assume no because minions have a specific definition in the games logic, likely not including totems or objects (this assumes the game abides by its own rules)

[tidal copper]

My hope is that they don't ruin it with PoE 2 changes but your deducted points is also valid
PoE 2 should copy PoE 1 and adapt it cause it's in a great state and it's a great game
Trying to reinvent the wheel takes them no where
Putting some cool stickers on it or changing the number can be good

[thorny token]

yea well theres only so much different you can do on same engine and idea i guess

but they definitely shouldnot have started with bringing it broken heralds lul

idk why they even did it ngl makes no sense

[neat bison]

Broken ass heralds that casters can’t even use now

[carmine flicker]

Broken herald?

[thorny token]

its basically pre nerf triple herald

but even worse because its less investment

lul

[molten blade]

I see a crossbow with 2x 'Loads an additional bolt". does that actually stack?

[carmine flicker]

Casters have.. idk?
Spark?
Dd?

[thorny token]

casters have pre nerf spark pretty much

and DD thats more brokenm than po1 version ever was

[tidal copper]

Step one make your herald of thunder ice
Make your herald of ice thunder
Congrats now you make shock ice chains through the map

[thorny token]

but you cant clear with DD very well so

its pretty much just spark

for most ppl

[fair widget]

Poe2's endgame just looks like a confusing decision mess after what the campaign was

[carmine flicker]

Dd is good, but clunky
But I'm ok with clunky
As long as it's one button

[tidal copper]

I will bet yes
Can't you test easily?

[thorny token]

oh also lets not forget we also have hydrosphere here

[carmine flicker]

Btw
They wanted poe2 to go from one button builds
I use even LESS buttons in it
Before I had rmb and move skill
Now rmb only

[thorny token]

its just built into monk skills

xd

[thorny token]

the support system actively discourages multi button builds atm

there is jsut not enough supports

so yea

very weird

[fair widget]

well we are missing half the skills

[thorny token]

on some archetypes i dont even have enough gems for 1 clear setup and 1 single target setup

yea we are, and hopefully also bunch of usable supports :d

[tidal copper]

We are one shooting with one ability why will we ever use 2

[fair widget]

But also its just that the optimal way to play the game are 1 button builds right now

[carmine flicker]

I guess I should go cast on minion death curse and mana vortex or w/e

[fair widget]

Yea that's why its a confusing decision mess where idk what the intent is supposed to be

[tidal copper]

They tried to be conservative with the DMG but PoE players don't shower, don't work and don't fuck
They have to nerf the DMG to the ground I guess? To force us to play two buttons

[fair widget]

Yeah

[tidal copper]

But good luck after you launch like this

[proud sorrel]

Just tried out grim feast on my es warrior, but I end up picking up the charges before es is full. Is this how its supposed to work?

[fair widget]

Well its early access

[fair widget]

charges? you mean the wisps? they'll just refill your es pool if you're not full, and overflow if you are

[neat bison]

I think the campaign shows more where their design intentions lie but throwing together the POE 1 endgame will def make it hard to revert without making everyone upset

[wet mango]

i'm playing xbow merc as MR intended: with like 7 buttons all being used at least 1/map haha

[proud sorrel]

yeah the wisps, they dont seem to add anything to my es unless its already full tho

[fair widget]

If its not full it replenishes your es

[carmine flicker]

Why bother tho
I walk with lmb and explode shit with rmb
Shit exlodes
Me happy

[wet mango]

because I don't want to play poe1 🤷

[proud sorrel]

I'm not seeing that happen tho, I roll thru them while at 0 es and it doesnt go up

[tidal copper]

It's sad too cause the developers were really trying to push for the end game to be good which I feel is the right direction
But it's definitely the worse part and I don't feel like it's getting better soon

[fair widget]

that's odd, it should replenish your es

[tidal copper]

Clip or it didn't happen

[proud sorrel]

okay ill keep trying it then if thats the intended function of it, just wanted to check thanks

[fair widget]

Yeah send a clip of it if its not working

[carmine flicker]

Also campaign balance all over the place
I liked act 3 normal
Act 2 was too loooooong
Act 1-3 cruel so easy I didn't notice their existence

[proud sorrel]

to support you mean? like an email?

[fair widget]

Or here to see if we can figure out what's going on 1st

[tidal copper]

I mean they just quickly remixed the acts so we got to the end game at level 65 as they intended
It's no wonder the campaign balance fell off

[carmine flicker]

Btw strange bug with heralds
If you have herald in your skills, not activated, just socketed
Skellies from scepter won't appear

Idk why

[fair widget]

Yeah tbf we're also missing 3 more acts

[carmine flicker]

But then again act2 was Hard
Like not difficult
Just so long I almost quit
Mobs too tanky

Wasting 2-3 clicks on every white mob is too damn much

[frosty arrow]

I think act 2 is nearly perfect. Very well paced, good maps, good boss fights

[tidal copper]

The three missing acts don't solve the end game
Unless they left a lot of almost done content back this is going to take a while to cook

[frosty arrow]

act 3 though. The maps at the end of it make me want to kill myself. Way too big

[fair widget]

Nah endgame definitely needs an overhaul for me but idk if they'll change it much

[proud sorrel]

I got an enemy to solo with and tested, it does give me 25 es per wisp when picking them up. thanks

[carmine flicker]

May be just me
By act3 I finally got some damage to run and gun, not slog

[tidal copper]

My experience in every act was a torture as I tried to make bleed conc work wrong gamble

[fair widget]

I gambled ice strike while everyone was on that tempest flurry hype train and it became meta

[tidal copper]

Damm you didn't have to throw salt at the wound

[carmine flicker]

I tried the whole bomb srs engine..
The moment I got ot working it was nerf killed

[fair widget]

But i initially wanted to go triggers with coc or cof and then they immediately nerfed triggers

[tidal copper]

Triggers are still good though or so I heard

[fair widget]

Its less generic now and you have to plan around it more

[carmine flicker]

I tried cast on ignite
No
It's not good

[fair widget]

Like i think grimro had a cast on shock build with one of the lightning spells and that's really strong but its also partially spark being good at applying shock multiple times

[tidal copper]

Yeah I think that's the one they didn't nerf (?)

[carmine flicker]

I killed like 5-6 packs for one trigger instance with damn incinerate..

I literally only ignite
Except energy gain so low...

[fair widget]

But if poe2 stays the way it is ill probably be done with it after playing anything that seems interesting, which isnt many since game has less interactions than poe1

[carmine flicker]

They will add tons more classes

[fair widget]

Doesnt matter if there's no build creativity for me

[carmine flicker]

May be eveb actual summoner, not this infernalist jack of all life reserved nonsense

[fair widget]

If anything internalist demonform is like amongst the more interesting things to plan around and that's about it for now

I dont have my hopes up for the other base classes so hopefully the other new classes have cool stuff

[carmine flicker]

I just got beidats everything

[tidal copper]

Gemling is a perfectly good summoner what do you mean

[carmine flicker]

75% life reserved is good

It's auto low life

[frosty arrow]

people playing the most obvious class/weapon combinations and complain about no build variety. I'm sure infernalist fire caster is very creative

[fair widget]

I complain about it after playing icestrike monk because most skills are still locked behind specific weapons

[carmine flicker]

Well
Game kinda doesn't play good with most experements
Melee slam infernalist doesn't sound good at all

[frosty arrow]

I like the weapon lock, because weapons finally don't feel just like stat sticks

[fair widget]

Now if charged staff was just charged melee weapon then i could maybe plan to play a double strike dual wield swords or something but that's not happening

[tidal copper]

If you go for a wacky build you get punished if you didn't plan well or things don't work as expected
I feel like it's natural that people don't experiment I wouldn't like to play 60 hours for nothing

[fair widget]

And also it eventually kills any potential wacky stuff with future uniques

[carmine flicker]

Also no pob

[frosty arrow]

just respec, done

[fair widget]

But that's just poe2 so be it

Watch lightning arrow deadeye be meta for like 2 years post release though

[tidal copper]

Can't change ascendency and you have to often buy new equipment
It's not easy depending on how far you want to test

[carmine flicker]

No ascendancy change is the worst

[tidal copper]

You tell me I'm playing bleed Snipe with fucking pathfinder

[fair widget]

Nah those arent the worst

[carmine flicker]

I don't want to re level character just to play blood mage

[fair widget]

The worst is actually the change to skill links being on gems

You can't experiment because you have a 6 link skill, not a 6 link armor

[carmine flicker]

You can sell those at least, no?

[fair widget]

Yeah but its a pain to experiment

[carmine flicker]

Can't sell ascendancy and buy new

[tidal copper]

The price of a specific jewel 6 Vs a jewellers is probably 10 to 1

[distant pilot]

whats a good build for gemling? runnin a explosive shot build atm

[thorny token]

i would give away PF for free in how shit stateit is atm

[fair widget]

And it also takes way longer to sell and buy a new gem to test

[thorny token]

actual 1 node ascendncy

[carmine flicker]

Sell old one
Buy new
Repeat
That's stupid ans suck
But still at least possible

[fair widget]

its possible but it kills a lot of experimentation with how long it takes

[carmine flicker]

Faster than re-level new char to at least 70

To get other ascendancy

[thorny token]

i just leveled deadeye and pathfinder and thats all the characters i need for infinite amount of time

i have invoker somewhat leveled too in case i would want something else

[tidal copper]

There are a lot of things better than getting shot

[thorny token]

dont need to touch rest of the ascendacnies :d

even though almost considered leveling chrono

just for some memes

[fair widget]

Yeah but ascendancies are easier to figure out because they're a smaller part of the build than your main skill

[carmine flicker]

Well
I have inferno witch that can reserve all the life
Don't need much else either

[fair widget]

I dont need to level a deadeye to tell what a deadeye will do to a build

[thorny token]

well in same thought you also dont need 6 link to see how skill feels

[fair widget]

But i can't tell how good a cast on shock trigger will work with a specific lightning skill right now without having it to test

[thorny token]

and 5 links are free with vaals anyway

[carmine flicker]

I mean
I reserve life not to get mana from it
Can't care less
But to reserve life..

[thorny token]

oh but cast on shock is at least highly reusable

[tidal copper]

I'm thinking of going original sin poison to use the ascendency btw
You people think it has future?

[carmine flicker]

I take ascendancy nodes for their "downsides"

[fair widget]

Yeah but this is just one case

[carmine flicker]

It's messed up

[thorny token]

its really hard to click CI with poison

so if you are fine with sitting at 0 chaos res then rest is rly good

[tidal copper]

Death doesn't scare me
I didn't get one shot by chaos DMG a few hours ago I'm sure it'll be fine

[carmine flicker]

Tbh I want to play arc the most
But it's bad
So death to my dream

[tidal copper]

Arc?...

[carmine flicker]

The chain lightning thing

[thorny token]

im still looking for clear skill for my deadeye setup and cant find anything so rip dream as well xd

[hexed vessel]

are there other ways to get glancing blow outside of passive skill tree?

[carmine flicker]

I love 2 things, heavy invulnerable tanks and lightnings
So yeah
Poe2 have nothing for me(

[thorny token]

8k es 14k eva with acro deadeye sounded so fun but the clear options are just non existant

[tidal copper]

Doesn't spiral volley work?

[thorny token]

not with osin

also i wanted to do crossbow

[carmine flicker]

Yeah
I know
Why did you link it tho?

[tidal copper]

Weapon swap!

[thorny token]

i guess i could just int stack and do spiral volley snipe but idk

oh actually i dont want to int stack

[tidal copper]

To see it
I wanted to know how much of a lost case it was

[thorny token]

i keep forgetting i want to use bonestorm

[carmine flicker]

It's like 1000 base damage at lvl 25 with 20q(more per chain included)

[tidal copper]

Glancing blows? Block key stone?
There might be an unique if you search the key stone in Poe DB it'll tell you if you have options

[carmine flicker]

It's better than fireball I guess
But well..

Can probably work archmage crit smth setup, idk

Idk how to get much crit chance poe2

[tidal copper]

Blood mage

[carmine flicker]

9% is ok base, right?

[tidal copper]

Spell have up to 13

[carmine flicker]

Inferno already

[tidal copper]

It's a on the low side I believe

[carmine flicker]

I like free pain attunement

[tidal copper]

Will look at uniques for crit

[hexed vessel]

thanks

[carmine flicker]

Also with dd I spend 0 mana exactly
So easy to sustain mon

[grand steeple]

i think i found my answer. Deadeye + avidity + resonance + taking all frenzy and power charge nodes will get me 7 power charges on the 30% chance for max

snipers mark with cast on crit maybe

or could do the bushwhack boots for pin + resonance

[carmine flicker]

Yeah, after 6k es 3k mana is bit overkill
But no kill like overkill with tankiness

[tidal copper]

Visage exists in PoE 2
But to crit all the time will still be difficult
I feel it's more possible to make it chain 500 times

[carmine flicker]

Should go for 12k es before overflow
Ans like 4k life and mana
Idk
Should be possible

Then wait till they add RF

Ultimate playstile
Zero buttons bossing
My favourite

[hexed vessel]

is there a tool to test the radius of the unique jewels?

[carmine flicker]

Ehh
Time to sleep
Thx for advices

[velvet blade]

When a skill says it deals 150% of attack damage, and you have sources of gain extra damage as x% of damage, does the extra damage get scaled with the 150% from the skill or is it added as extra base damage after the 150% from the skill?

[atomic halo]

it doesn't really matter

150% of attack damage just means it deals 50% more damage at the end of the day

[velvet blade]

Well it would be very different if let's say you deal 100 phys damage and you gain 20% of phys as extra lighting. So you would deal 100 phys and 20 lightning. With a 200% damage skill (for simplicity) you would deal 200 phys and 40 lighting in one instance but if it's applied after then you would deal 200 phys and only 20 lighting.

[sterile stone]

extra is from the base damage

[velvet blade]

Right, before increases and decreases. But does that apply to skill damage modification too?

[atomic halo]

it either goes
100 -> 100 + 20 -> 200 + 40 or
100 -> 200 -> 200 + 40

don't overthink it

it says 150% of attack damage, it deals 150% of attack damage

[sturdy sable]

how do i change morior

[atomic halo]

it doesnt care if that was added as extra damage or whatever

[velvet blade]

So it would never go 100 -> 200 + 20?

[sturdy sable]

on maxroll

am i dumb

lmfoa

[atomic halo]

not in this case

[velvet blade]

Cool, thanks

[atomic halo]

it just says 150%. it will apply exactly 150% to all damage dealt by that skill.

[velvet blade]

Ahh, that makes sense. So extra damaged gained as %x is still considered being dealt by the skill

[atomic halo]

yeah

[velvet blade]

sweet

[atomic halo]

the word extra may be confusing but it follows the same rules as everything else (at least, in this case)

[sterile stone]

its still not that usefull if youre not scaling it tho

[velvet blade]

Right, it's only useful if you want to scale a specific damage type other than your original or you're able to scale both effectively

[sterile stone]

yep random extra just doesnt do anything

[sharp vortex]

im trying to upgrade wand though trade poe2 with 50-70 ex and am having a hard time idesa?

[iron bane]

Is there a way to build a good flicker strike while doing cruel acts

[velvet blade]

Hard to build a good anything in acts. I would follow a leveling guide until you have all skills and items at your disposal

[sterile stone]

i havent even see flicker build in maps

[atomic halo]

ten_frenzy_flicker is still doing his thing

[velvet blade]

I've seen a couple that use cast on freeze or crit to use profane ritual or using combat frenzy to generate power charges with the charge switcher keystone

Seems clunky af though

[manic iron]

What specific jewel stats are you looking for spark stormweaver?

[sterile stone]

i doubt ggg wants flicker in the game

[velvet blade]

Minion Pact Support's wording is a bit confusing: "Only takes effect if you have a Minion with enough life to drain the full amount".
Does this mean drain the full amount of the minion's life killing it, or drain the full amount of your maximum life from the minion without killing it?

[distant pilot]

aint crap for gemling builds lol

[topaz cedar]

What does magnitude do for shock? Extend time, or increase debuff beyond 20%?

[gloomy jackal]

increases debuff beyond 20

[topaz cedar]

Dope, do you know if there's numbers anywhere?

[gloomy jackal]

well with 50% increased magnitude you should have 30%

etc.

[topaz cedar]

Oh duh

thanks gamer

[fast drift]

I used a lvl 80 trial of chaos token that says it's 10 rounds. After the first 3 though I couldn't go anywhere except through the portal to end the run...what am I missing

[void barn]

Is poison an ailment?

[gloomy jackal]

yes, press alt in-game to figure it out

[void barn]

Sweet ty

[sharp vortex]

how do people upgrade their wands?

[sharp vortex]

nothing

u need a trial pass that has 10

u had one that was 3

[still rock]

voll's works if you can be fine with losing a body armor and having a shit ton less mana

but youd have to be critting with somethingother than flicker for it to generate i think

idk i didnt look too far into it

there's some russian guy who has a write up on it but google translate just makes it really silly to read lol

[dreamy kindle]

@sterile stone any other way to go fast without temporalis/queen

[velvet blade]

I briefly tried cast on shock lightning warp and casting ball lightning and was moving pretty fast but it was pretty awkward

[dreamy kindle]

monk.

[sterile stone]

not sure i havent played much, bcs so many annoying things

might wanna wait future uniques

but even in poe 1 queen of the forest are popular unique to go fast, so not sure if there will be anything else that an compete with that

in terms of raw MS

[distant cypress]

on the trade site, why does the armor value below isnt always the same as on the item.

[sharp vortex]

bottom is after qualifiying

so 20%

[distant cypress]

oh ok got it

[sterile stone]

this will makes your life better

[dreamy kindle]

tbh in the video it didnt look fast

[sterile stone]

what video?

[dreamy kindle]

the one with queen

when i looked up

[sterile stone]

can you link it?

[dreamy kindle]

he had like 80-90%

https://youtu.be/0RuW09xYvhU?si=bYrQMpNDusZLovEV

[sterile stone]

38k evasion with 50% more defense boon thats 57k/500 = 114 ms just from the queen

[past dust]

how large is a meter in poe 2? how mutch radius do I need for all 5 grenades to hit the same target reliably?

[sterile stone]

38,000/500 = 76
57,000/500 = 114
38% more ms with the boon

thats level 75 character, if you have lv90+ that would more significantly more base evasion

[dreamy kindle]

maybe im too used to poe1 with 150% ms

[sterile stone]

well its about whats fast compared to other things in poe 2

[fair widget]

poe2 is designed with a significantly slower pace intent

[sterile stone]

we can get 300% ms pretty easy in poe 1

[dreamy kindle]

yea i wanna go fast i hate being slow

[fair widget]

Then play poe1

[sterile stone]

not designed that way sadly

but yeah sanctum boon + queen is prolly the fastest you can get right now

[dreamy kindle]

well other than stat stacker ms

[fair widget]

its either that, temporalis blink or flickerstrike

[sterile stone]

you gotta use anything that isnt MS

[dreamy kindle]

u cant hold down flicker like in poe 1 tho

can u?

[fair widget]

You can but its also a lot weaker than poe1 unless you have a lot to invest in it

Might as well go min maxed temporalis

[sterile stone]

even if you can i bet they will nerf it, thats not the vision, mirror tier investment is different story tho

[fair widget]

I dont think they'll nerf it because it already requires a lot of hoops and it isnt really op dmg or anything

[sterile stone]

i mean if its actually viable, not just working

even Magefist arent doing it

[fair widget]

You can map with it i think but it doesnt delete bosses

[sterile stone]

im not super familiar with how charges are being generated here, but yeah it seems to require a jank to work

[fair widget]

They're just using combat frenzy atm i think

But it doesnt clear faster than any double herald builds so

[spark junco]

does Titan's Crushing Impact ascendancy still require a skill that primes for stun? or by it being slotted will it enable the glow? otherwise, will i need to slot like, boneshatter or something

[sterile stone]

i wouldnt dare play anything that arent the vision, just play like a normal person

[eternal gazelle]

are there any builds that are actually clearing and zooming at the speed of gemling legionaires

[fair widget]

Most build's ability to zoom rn is limited by how much movespeed they get, so quite a few lol

[eternal gazelle]

i just started and playing monk but ran into rob2628's youtube video lol. looks kinda nutty

[fair widget]

any content creator that knows what they're doing can easily do that

and some even more

but hey if you like the playstyle then go for it

[eternal gazelle]

it looks cool and i wouldn't mind trying it for sure. still learning the game and was just curious if there were other builds that were similar or how to even get to that point

[fair widget]

Enjoy the process of learning the game, dont rush to what players are doing with their giga endgame builds

[frail fable]

Anyone tryna bless me with fire flower Solar amulet so I can finally get my build started properly 😭

[proven badge]

what happens when u have 110 faster es rechagre?

[slim cobalt]

am i reading poe 2db right when i say that poisonburst arrow scales worse than gas arrow does? b/c poisonburst arrow's attack damage is much lower than the gas arrow cloud poison?

or does gas arrow only scale better if the enemies remain in the poison

[sterile stone]

i cant really tell you the math, but simply 100% means half, then you do the 10% again from the 2 second, so 1.9

[proven badge]

oo so u need 200% to basically have no cooldown on recharge?

[sterile stone]

again 100% means half, 200% is 1 second

you half the halfed

[gloomy jackal]

you can never have 0 from faster start

do the "allies in your presence" mods affect you also?

[sterile stone]

no sir youre not your own allies

[gloomy jackal]

T.T thanks

[zinc quarry]

playing lightning ranger, finally got my first greater jewelers. what should i use it on? lightning arrow, or lightning rod?

[past dust]

is chance to shock determende by the damage your hits do?

[sterile stone]

how much is greater jeweler? i think its cheaper to just do the vaal strat, you can just sell and use the ex/d to buy stuff

unless youre ssf

[zinc quarry]

good call yea im not ssf

[sterile stone]

but rod is your dps

[zinc quarry]

its only worth 32 ex

[sterile stone]

depends on the cost of vaal, but im sure its still cheaper theres no way you gonna vaal 30x

surely

[zinc quarry]

ive probably tried to vaal 10x and failed 🥲

[craggy ice]

does original sin negate chaos inoculation?

[sterile stone]

youre still immune

[gloomy jackal]

ye

[past dust]

thaks man

[gloomy jackal]

np, remember, can always press alt and click underlined keywords ingame for info

[proven badge]

so i saw the delay period formula for poe1, any1 know for poe 2?

200/(100 + r) where r is faster start

[shell night]

did trial of chaos for some chao resi sockets faced the owl/bird with my warrior doing my slow motion attacks.

get touched by 🌀 for a mili sec and instantly die despite running a 56lvl to make sure that i’m not going to waste my time again xD.

nothing did any dmg at all and then boom.

why do i see this guy now for the first time.

[sterile stone]

i took 100% from tree and it reduced to 2 second, should be the same

[proven badge]

aa i see

[sage flame]

Technical question here (I hope I'm at the right place, otherwise plz accept my apologises).

1rst • Lets assume I run "Despair" (https://pathofexile2.wiki.fextralife.com/Despair) as AURA with "Blasphemy" (https://pathofexile2.wiki.fextralife.com/Blasphemy)
2nd • I then strip the curse with "Hexblast" (https://pathofexile2.wiki.fextralife.com/Hexblast) will the Chaos damage of "Hexblast" benefit from the resistance reduction provided by the "Despair" curse?

✅ Hopefully someone can answer my question (if you know the answer?) Otherwise, could someone point me to the appropriate resources where I could learn how to find the answer myself? Game mechanics charts or stuff, anything worth a look? :3

Thanks in advance guys !

[gloomy jackal]

you can pretty easily test it yourself, a nice place is Cruel act1 Clearfell witch boss, close to waypoint

when u hit a boss the damage number shows up

so u just compare

[sterile stone]

i would assume it works the same as PoE1

which benefit from the curse

[dreamy kindle]

man i cant find any bow monk builds

[sage flame]

true I can swap curse and see if the dmgs change

[gloomy jackal]

yee

[coral bobcat]

witchhunter - nade spam or galv shards ask from someone that has played both not bias?

[sage flame]

I was focused on running dual Blasphemy, but that comes for the 2nd part. The 1rst part of the test consists of testing the mecanics, I'll give it a try act 1.
If the curse does disapear before dmgs application then I'll have to try and find a way to force a second curse to be stripped insrtead of despair

[sage flame]

that'd be great tbh

but I can't be certain and it bothers me

[gloomy jackal]

I'd assume it works but not sure so best to test, should be fast

[sage flame]

36h awake, everything I do at this point is 40% slower xD

fkin temporal chains \o/

[gloomy jackal]

Hmm. Does this ascendancy simply not work?

[sterile stone]

bugged

[gloomy jackal]

maaan... oke thanks

[sage flame]

Dumb question here tho but where do you see the dmgs on a boss? do you mean the size of the health removed from lifebar?

or the number on the top right of the boss's life?

[coral bobcat]

witchhunter nade spam or galv shards?

[visual grove]

Hey guys I like playing lightning builds. What's the class/build that I'll have the most lightning on the map with?

[gloomy jackal]

the 7k number top right

[sage flame]

awww yes my dogs xD

forgot to turn them off

[toxic pier]

stormweaver sorc, deadeye ranger, lightning/ice monk

[sage flame]

numbers are so random xD with or without curse the dmgs fluctuate chaotically

[visual grove]

Between stormweaver sorc and deadeye ranger what do you recommend?

I tried out spark but it's just not enjoyable for me.

[gloomy jackal]

oh yea hexblast has quite a damage range. you can average it out or ask some1 who's more experienced with the build, I personally tested stuff by doing averages lol

[toxic pier]

well have you tried deadeye ranger yet? 😛

i main a frostfire sorc but I have homies who play a lightning deadeye ranger and they are just speeding through mobs like butter

[gloomy jackal]

okcode is playing hexblast pretty sure, can ask him

[visual grove]

A small bit. I didn't go too far into it. I tend to gravitate to sorcs but I saw the lightning rod and thought it was funny.

[zinc quarry]

whats better on a quiver, 18% damage with bows, or 40% projectile speed (with feathered fletching)?

[toxic pier]

if I were you i'd play both to level 20 at least to get a good feel and then decide from there

[sterile stone]

spark needs some investment to finally feel good, some play arc bcs higher base damage early, ranger leveling is ass with rod + orb of storm, not really sure about monk

[sage flame]

it seems to be working.with only 1 curse.
On averrage I tend to deal a little more with the "despair" curse on and a little bit less with another curse

so dual curse might not be absolutly needed at this point, nice

[sterile stone]

oohh, someone here also did hexblast with 4 curse and it only detonates 1

it supposed to detonates all

[sage flame]

Nah, it says on the gem it only detonate one

[sterile stone]

try the video

[sage flame]

the question was more abouot if the chaos resistance lowered by the curse were still counted for hexblast chaos dmgs if the curse is turned into aura

and it seems that yes, even tho you rip it, aura instantly re-applies the curse (or else dmgs are calculated before the strip I dunno) but I seem to deal more dmgs when I strip the "despair" curse than another one

[sterile stone]

i dont see any reason why it would work other way

since thats how it works in poe1

[sage flame]

you never know \o/

[sterile stone]

if it is i would assume its bugged

[sage flame]

Decaying hex (https://pathofexile2.wiki.fextralife.com/Decaying+Hex) doesn't work on Curse when they are socketed in Blasphemy, which is sad cuz other support do

[vocal mountain]

So i just found out that skeletons dont count as undead minions...

[stark lance]

can anyone link me prefixes and suffixes for boots

[sterile stone]

from where?

[median kraken]

I don't have a link handy but you can find it on poe2db.tw

[stark lance]

https://poe2db.tw/us/Items it shows this

[vocal mountain]

well, i tried the Uldur boots that give you a 20% reduced reservation for undead minions but it does not reduce the reservation to my frost skeleton mages.

[stark lance]

https://poe2db.tw/us/Advanced_Threaded_Shoes

I dont see the list here

[median kraken]

https://poe2db.tw/us/Modifiers

[sterile stone]

thats weird bcs zombies doesnt even use reservation, and what other minion that reserve that isnt undead

[vocal mountain]

maybe its bugged then

[sterile stone]

like everything else

[vocal mountain]

lol

[stark lance]

thank you

[obtuse jungle]

Are there any decent Original Sin builds floating around?

[fickle trail]

Does anyone know if its possible to hit +40% quality on a gem?
so far all I can figure is +20% from gcp +12-16% from gemionnaire and past that maybe +3% from corruption any other ways to get more quality?

asking cause I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to get wind dancer to have 2nd additional layer

[median kraken]

I tuink it's generally considered pretty bad right now. The downside is really big and chaos conversion has limited benefits.

[obtuse jungle]

I see... I wonder why they're going out for 3+ divs atm, thought there might be a build for it

[sterile stone]

the original is monster chaos resistance is 0

[obtuse jungle]

Yeah in poe1, I wonder if the current version of OS is intended, it's very confusing why the implicit stat gives you chaos res but at the same time it set's your chaos res to 0

[sterile stone]

its not great but some people kinda overblown it, its simply just an amethyst base to match the chaos theme

[uncut jay]

How do people get thousands upon thousands of energy shield? Are there any items that scale it so much ?

[obtuse jungle]

Ghostwrithe is a good one

converts 50% of your max hp to ES

you stack max es on your skill tree et voila you got bizillions of es

[sterile stone]

es from gear, scaled by passive tree + grim feast

[uncut jay]

hmm, what if you have the skill that makes your hp 1. How does "50% of Maximum Life Converted to Energy Shield" apply ? Its worthless then, correct ?

[sterile stone]

its highly likely it isnt working as intended, but your hp gets converted before goes to 1

for now it works, but after they patched it no longer works

[uncut jay]

I got to T3 maps and it is hard to stay alive. Need to change something.

[sterile stone]

if youre playing es you can still use ghostwrithe and use grim feast

[uncut jay]

I do amazing dmg, screens explode, bosses melt. But so do I

[sterile stone]

at least for another 1-2 week

[obtuse jungle]

Yeah current meta is basically ES stacking

[gloomy jackal]

are these nodes also bugged? I'm supposed to have like 95% ailment chance but I land bleed 1/10 hits or something...

Or am I undestanding bleed chance incorrectly

[sage quartz]

It’s increased chance from your base chance, so if base was 10% you would have 19.5%

But ailments are complicated and it depends on the amount of damage you do and the ailment resistance of the enemy

[gloomy jackal]

oh... so with ele dmg bleed my base is only 15%? that's so bad T.T

[wintry knoll]

are essence stash tabs worth buying? I feel like i don't find them that often

[warm yew]

Hello everyone. New player in POE here..just a fast q.. im playing monk invoker im 37 level i got the charged staff skill but i get endurance cgarges and staff cant use them..any help??

[rapid seal]

Hello guys, annyone can assist with my build I am totem warbringer, but I feel like my build and gear can be improved currently doing t7-10 maps, but I am new at the game

[fiery brook]

Has anyone thought to do crit witchhunter?

[sage quartz]

You need power charges, not endurance charges

[warm yew]

y i know but i spec into resonance keystone as the build suggests and it converts them into endu

[sage quartz]

Ahh okay so you need to generate frenzy charges. That is typically done by using the skill Combat Frenzy and then electrocuting, pinning, or freezing enemies

Frenzy will convert to power

[warm yew]

i dont have it yet..so i refund resonane until compat frenzy?

[sage quartz]

Yeah

[warm yew]

tyvm you saved my sanity

[clear sluice]

What's a good duo to do with an infernalist and gemling?

[visual shoal]

Question guys, so I am using HOWA gloves with 220 intelligence currently, should I instill this into my amulet for 44% increased lightning damage or is there something better I should go for? -- ice strike invoker, currently at 50% crit.

[lyric trellis]

Can staggering palm carry into end game for monk I want to make a build around it

[pearl sluice]

got 4.4K ES / 2.6K hp - blood mage with good regen (350l/s ) yetgetting wrecked badly on rare t14-t15

especially with excavation mobs or breach mobs

is it better to go for more DPS / clear , or more def?

its like bosses are not an issue , but when im flooded with mobs from all direction and stunlocked / mass aoed and cant even see shit is

so probably more clear /dmg?

[pearl sluice]

the problem is when i cast my life still goes down a tiny bit

[sudden tartan]

hi need help, i was planning to go cast on freeze to auto-cast charged staff but it won't let me socket it in
is there any way i can trigger/auto-cast charged staff?

[livid glade]

hi i have problem with warbringer

lv 75 cant go map 5

play corroup

[sterile stone]

i think all cast on gem we currently have is only for spells

[pulsar flint]

What are some ways to increase my spirit as a witch ? Lvl 33 rn going into act 3 with srs flame wall build and can only have 2 arsonists up

[wet mango]

Do you have the herald node already? That one is 50% incr

[sterile stone]

buy a scepter, oaksworn, and enfolding dawn

[queen moss]

hey guys, anyone could boost trials for exa?

[sterile stone]

just make sure whatever youre buying, you can equip it, the item requirements

[west epoch]

Does "flask charges gained" apply to the .1 charges gained suffix that can roll on flasks?

[visual shoal]

Ofc

[wet mango]

The suffix says "gained" so yes

[west epoch]

I thought so but this game is weird sometimes

[sterile stone]

try in game chat, global/trading

[wet mango]

Eh, a lot of times it's ppl misunderstanding things or miss reading the text

Someone swore to me that crit dmg runes have 12% increased crit dmg

(they give +12%...)

Even after showed me a ss lol

[west epoch]

its a mix :)

[shadow blade]

New bow

I highly recommend mana leech for end game building especially if you spec into + skills

It mitigates all the cost increases that can be brutal

[chilly flume]

Had anyone got pillar of the caged god long quarter staff? I’m looking for it, help me out? Thank

[astral badger]

Right now, I’m at tier 15 maps running an ice/lightning warp sorc. I followed the streamer Immortilize’s build guide. It uses chaos innoculation/mom/battery, with mana stacking and energy shield stacking on gear. It’s fun for clearing but lacking on boss damage. Does anyone know of a different meta build that uses similar stuff gear wise, that I could swap to and still keep most of my gear?

[bold pulsar]

Anyone here familiar with sorc? i could use some help

[rapid knot]

guys what catalyst should i use on this? mana?

[lapis quest]

anyone following lolcohol's flicker invoker monk? I'm currently leveling and cannot, for the life of me, figure out what's wrong with the current state of my build that it's not doing enough damage to finish a boss before running out of mana and flask charges

[sinful hatch]

Anyone has tanky gemling statstacker build?

[hoary ingot]

time time has come

[brittle crystal]

Is it worth putting chaos resist runes on armor sockets?

[sour basin]

what would be the best notable to aid with life regeneration the most would it be hale heart?

[lime narwhal]

are you supposed to have elemental invocation bound to button? I dont see any option to and the skill description reads as if its a manual cast

[pearl sluice]

Hey, I have a amulet that gives my spells 28% damage and 3 level to the spell, it'll work with cast on? I put it on but the spells allocated at the buff, didn't get a +3 level, so, I presume that the spell damage ain't counting to the spell level?

[rapid knot]

unfortunately cast on is not a spell its a buff but keep the amulett for sure its worth a lot with those two mod

check the gem skill level inside cast on if it gets some buffs

like you see on mine, my cast on is still 15 but my inserted skill is 21

[static spade]

Guys, what's better if you have Terrain chain projectile? Fork or Pierce?

[pearl sluice]

That lightning conduit are receiving the buff from the +3 spell levels?

Lol, my comet ain't receiving 😭

Look, although I'm with the amulet equipped

Lol, I bought that thing for 1 divine just to buff my comets on the cast on

[rapid knot]

huh thats weird

[pearl sluice]

And my solar orb is receiving

Sorry for the bad quality of the image, see? The amulet

[pseudo delta]

if you're on windows: Win + Shift + S

[pearl sluice]

I'm at console

I quitted the game and I'm opening it again

[rapid knot]

is it +level to spell or a specific element? sorry i dont speak italian 😅

[pearl sluice]

No problem, it's Brazilian Portuguese

It's +3 to ALL spell skills

[rapid knot]

oh :p

then it should work

[pearl sluice]

Magic damage increased by 28%, 142 accuracy, evasion increased by 46%, +3 to all spell skills, +12 strenght and +11 intelligence

I quitted the game and reopened it, tho, my comet ain't receiving the buff

[rapid knot]

lemme craft an comet quick

[pearl sluice]

Lol, I put the fireball spell on the cast on, and it ain't receiving no buff too

[rapid knot]

works for me, does yours look like this?

[pearl sluice]

Just like yours

I was scammed? Maybe the amulet is broken

[pseudo delta]

amulet is ok

do you have enough mana to cast the comet with +3 levels?

[pearl sluice]

Yes I do

With only the comet equipped, without any cast on

It receives the buff

But even only 1 comet with the buff, it doesn't work

[pseudo delta]

do you have enough spirit to enable cast on¿

[pearl sluice]

I do have

I play with two cast on ignite

With both of them, with 2 comets

[pseudo delta]

sometimes I've seen spirit skills appear as greyed out (even if they were enabled)

[rapid knot]

spirit is not a prob the calculations to the skill work as soon as you socket a skill in cast on

[pseudo delta]

yeah I don't know, tryint to make sense of it

[rapid knot]

yeh same lol thats weird

[pseudo delta]

does it make sense to have two similar "cast on" skills? never tried tbh

[pearl sluice]

Maybe it's a bug and I'm a unlucky person

[pseudo delta]

support skills are limited to one, maybe some skills are also limited?

[rapid knot]

i try that

[pseudo delta]

you're using comet as support twice

maybe it doesn't work because of that

try using a different spell?

(with the second cast on)

[pearl sluice]

It works, wonderfully, but that ain't the problem, even with one cast on ignite, it doesn't work, even with another spell on the cast on ignite, it doesn't work too

I equipped a fireball, only one cast on ignite, and it doesn't work

It seems like every spell that I put on the cast on ignite, isn't receiving the buff

[pseudo delta]

disable all other spirit gems just in case? sounds more like a visual bug than anything else

[rapid knot]

got 3 cast on with diff spells and it works

there is something blocking it for you

[sour basin]

what would be the best notable to aid with life recovery per second the most would it be hale heart?

[glacial sorrel]

hey guys someone know a good build for witch? playing an infernalist-arsonist one but getting bored of it

and on youtube every build video seems sus

[sour basin]

play around making your own??

[pearl sluice]

I'll test the damage and I'll return to both of you

It's supposed to do the same damage as a equipped comet right?

And there it goes my gish build 😦

[pseudo delta]

while leveling at a certain point I had lots of spirit and several buffs enabled and the one in the weapon (malice) appeared as greyed out but it was enabled as I could even see the visual effect

[pearl sluice]

I hope it was only a visual bug and in game the thing is working perfectly

I cant test right now, got to do some things here, but in like 1 hour ill test it

[pseudo delta]

don't discard your build, just keep going, it should be ok. both "cast on" buffs are stacking up % when you ignite and casting when full right?

i assume you see two of these:

[pearl sluice]

Yes, and it proccs wonderfully with perfect strike

I see two of thode

Those*

[pseudo delta]

then stop worrying

go enjoy your build, kill some mobs

HAVE FUN!

[pearl sluice]

Ok, I'll test the damage in some minutes, thanks for the help @pseudo delta and @rapid knot

[rapid knot]

np

[pearl sluice]

If it's a visual bug I don't mind

[hoary ingot]

does withering presence dot enemies?

[covert fossil]

No

[hoary ingot]

https://tenor.com/view/shocked-shocked-cat-silly-cat-cat-kitten-gif-7414586676150300212

i somehow need to make this work without using spirits, using other spells take time

i wanted to put it at blasphemy but its not allowed

[tiny phoenix]

How tanky is the bloodmage compared to say, an invoker? I love messing around with leech, but I imagine it completely depends on how high you can scale life. I'm seeing typical life values from people around 3k? That seems around 3-6k too low to be truly end game viable. Of course I might just be spoiled by MOM+ES.

[astral dragon]

I’d like to know if the Passive effect Dynamism will increase to Cast on Shock trigger rate?

[pseudo delta]

sounds like it, it says 15% more energy for meta skills

[wicked wigeon]

Is it possible to make HoI and HoT work together on ice strike invoker monk?

[rapid knot]

worth using delirium? stormweaver spark build

[elder mural]

Skill Speed affect projectile from Spark ?

[rapid knot]

i think only these will

but more cast speed = more dps

[elder mural]

Ok thank you

I wonder what SKill speed do if it doesnt affect projectile from Spark tho

[idle goblet]

What support are better for Herald of Ice ?

[idle goblet]

Isnt skill speed cast speed but for skills instead of spells ?

[elder mural]

Ah maybe

[icy fossil]

Why do i should Level in dex and int as an monk?

[idle goblet]

Because monk skills needs int and dex i guess ?

[icy fossil]

What do you mean "needs"

[idle goblet]

They require tot dex and int to be used

[icy fossil]

Oh i see it

[idle goblet]

Those values grown with gem lvl

[icy fossil]

But nothing Else?

[idle goblet]

Well, i'm no expert at all, i'm a noob. But int gives mana too and dex evasion ?

[plain rock]

Hey guys I’ve got a question about these gloves. Does the “Your Critical Damage Bonus” become a hard cap? Meaning it’s 300% and cannot be modified past that?

[thin basin]

Yes

[plain rock]

[icy fossil]

Thx

[thin basin]

Prrtty worth if you wanan crit on cheap investment

300+ is pretty hard to get

Thats like 5 wheels

Unless youre weapon base

[plain rock]

Wdym? Also as monk though I feel like you can get close with skill tree points no?

I’m a noob so not sure

[thin basin]

5 wheel of crit notables

Well if youre melee you can get local crit bonus which get multiplied by the tree bonuses

But on mages its harder to get

[idle goblet]

Local crit bonus ?

[thin basin]

Ive seen ppl saying they can get 1k bonus crit dmg on melee

[plain rock]

Local Crit bonuses from weapons?

[thin basin]

Yea weapons can roll “x bonus critical damage” which get multiplies by the tree

Different from poe1

[plain rock]

Ahhh

Ty going to look into that

[thin basin]

I dont think wands act rhe same for spells?

[idle goblet]

Oh, ok

But the crit dmg bonus wheels are the ones with the crit chances too ?

[thin basin]

They usually mix

Theres pure bonus ones

There pure crit chance ones

Really easy to test grab some critical bonus on tree, equip a weapon with critical bonus damage, notice how the crit dmg from weapon isnt a flat increase

Can also use runes if you really wanna test

[idle goblet]

Herald of Ice can crit as it says in the info panel ?

[sweet island]

[amber lark]

I LOVE MY BUILD only reason i have energy shield is because of the amulet

[elder mural]

For the same numbers of passives point i can get both cluster, which one would be better ? 60% pierce or 100% 1 additional chain. Condidering im using Spark.

[tiny phoenix]

Chain IMO... Then get a jewel with 20% pierce (providing you don't have any elsewhere)

[elder mural]

I dont have pierce jewel, playing ssf.

[tiny phoenix]

still chain... and those jewels should be that rare as long as you don't care about the other mods... But it's not that important

[amber lark]

i took 4 emerald jewels with 20% and annointed a perk that gives 50% ;-;

spark doesnt chain tho??? or am i confused

shrapnel is different it seems

[elder mural]

It bounce +1 since it's a projectile from that Chain node

[tiny phoenix]

You don't need a lot of pierce... Chain will destroy the first pack, but a bit of pierce (not 100%) is nice to kill off the packs behind it

Chain auto targets the next mob, so that's also fun

[amber lark]

the first perk would only with with chainging spells would it not and the second would work ???

[tiny phoenix]

Spark always bounces off terrain, so I don't think that's works as well

Anyway.. TLDR is chain>pierce, but some pierce is nice

[elder mural]

Yes i will try to farm jewel, kinda hard to farm jewel in ssf

[tiny phoenix]

Don't stress about the jewel, but make sure to ID or augment/regal all the emerald jewels you do find

[tidal copper]

My bet will be trials

[amber lark]

when you get to this it probably will be huge

[static spade]

If I wore this both, does it mean all my elemental damage becomes lightning?

[tiny phoenix]

Pretty sure that's how it would work MarcosiousKael

[iron tangle]

where do you see this?

[amber lark]

youd prolly do cold and lightning

[elder mural]

How block recovery work exactly ? Do it protect you from getting stun

If your stun treshold is low

[tiny phoenix]

Oh, yeah... Nevermind I read it wrong.. Yeah Cold and lightning, but that's an interesting interation

[mortal cloak]

Any suggestions on what is the most tanky class for end-game right now with 1. Not covering the screen in animations and 2. Not costing like 500+divine for 5 diff uniques to make it come online. I'm about 225 hours into Gemling Mercenary and the random 1 shots outta nowhere are just getting old, getting stuck not able to level up much and upgrades are so expensive it's starting to lose the fun aspect of grinding when I can spend like 5 hours, die once or twice and I gain basically nothing for spending most of my day playing D=

[static spade]

So my Fire spell that already converted to cold wouldn't convert to lightning?

[tiny phoenix]

MOM+ES/Archmage casters are really tanky.. and with "basic" gear can have an EHP pool of 7000 easy

[amber lark]

right here it will prolly show multiple damage types

[amber lark]

see ^

its weird

then where 2 rings

[static spade]

Oh nice so that means I get 3 elements then

[amber lark]

basically but build spell dmg then, i have skills that only boost lightning dmg because im 1 attribute and its cheaper lol

[tidal copper]

Can't convert twice isn't there a mention the conversion tool tip

[tiny phoenix]

I just put on both rings.. Eye of Winter (cold damage) just turned to lightning..

So yeah.. one conversion

[mortal cloak]

Yea I've seen people run that as gemling lol and the monk build as well

[static spade]

So there is no way to turn Fireball to lightning then?

Sorry got mixed up

[elder mural]

How block recovery work exactly ? I assume it give you some sort of stun treshold from blocked hit but i can't find any info on that.

[pearl sluice]

For maximum bossing DMG as poison conc, do these supports sound good.

Scattershot, Chaos Infusion, Chaos mastery, Deadly poison?

[deep lagoon]

Okay,, im here to ask you guys,, im playing the deadeye lighting arrow , herald of ice, thunder and cast of shock for bosses,,
And the clue is that, that i have alot of flat cold dmg,, but i still cant freeze or even one shot mobs at tier 15-16 (not at every maps, it depends which stats have waystone,,) what should i change in my build to make it possible?,, still looks for flat dmg or this time for increased dmg, (cold,light,phys)?

double rings for flat cold dmg, one have inc cold and seocnd inc phys for 25%,, bow have all 3 ligh,cold,phys at really high lvl same as my quiver

i cen send the sc items of my build,,

[fossil grotto]

what is the best way of obtaining dex/str on a sorc

[silk dust]

Does Poison Cloud consider as a hit if enemy walk in a cloud or It just count as hit when arrow impact area

[pearl sluice]

what is the skill/s monks use to keep power charges up to do things like flicker strike? I am trying to plan out a build at work (limited internet access)

[white flicker]

Would it be better to have a 6th skeleton arsonist and 0 skeleton clerics or 5 and 2?

[elder mural]

Is it better to farm Juice t6 or not juice t11+ to farm jewel on forest map ? Also how do i know for sure that my map is a forest one?

[eager wedge]

any one can help? having more cold dmg help to cold my enemys? same for lightning dmg and eletrcute?

[viral crag]

I noticed that in the spell details for damage over time spells, even those that don't have an initial hit (eg. contagion) it includes information regarding critical hit stats.
What portions of a dot does crit affect?
I believe in poe the dots that had an initial hit could crit (eg. if the initial hit crits, the entire dot crits for its duration)

[pearl sluice]

can you use cast on setups to cast flicker strike

[rugged lily]

luv me clerics

[shut rose]

What is more worth: getting skeletal cleric or grim feast? I'm still leveling in curel end of act 2

[pearl sluice]

Grim feast if you're ES based

100%

[white flicker]

Thanks for the input!

[shut rose]

Hmm im leveling and a bit weak on ES. So grim and push my es I guess

[pearl sluice]

if you have at least 500 es, it's worth it

imo

[shut rose]

Thx

[polar anvil]

So it's pointless to upgrade the quality of a skill gem that doesn't have a bonus upon improving?

[pearl sluice]

anyone can help me confirm if this is working for spark

[polar anvil]

Like Herald of Ice says 0-0.4 meters but some skills don't have anything at all

[pearl sluice]

For burning monolith fight, Do you think, CI 8k base ES with 6.6k eva (64%), 78/76/76 res is enough? for pinnacnle boss, would be fighting it blind in HC

[serene isle]

is it ok as titan warrior to have 0 ES ?

[astral badger]

Can someone point me to a good T15+ spark storm weaver build that can be achieved relatively cheaply?

[pearl sluice]

No such thing as spark storm weaver and cheap

it's meta as, it's expensive asf, you need to build your way up with small upgrades

[astral badger]

How expensive does it get?

[sharp warren]

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/coc-balls-invoker-ronarray What runes do i put on morior with this build

rarity version

[pearl sluice]

and i wouldn't spec into it rn when the patch is dropping soon

[astral badger]

Oh true ok

[pearl sluice]

Which will shake the meta very hard

[astral badger]

I’m running a cold/lightning w/ lightning warp and call of the brotherhood build rn so it’s fine but I was Jw about spark. I’ll keep what I have. Just lacks some boss melting capability

[tidal copper]

Sure but playing with ES with some of the ES/armour is stronger

[vital plume]

what class would you reccomend making then for the meta? just avoid stormweaver or what

[fallen cedar]

So here's a question.
I'm trying to activate 4 spirit skills.
Each has a 30 reserve.
I currently have 139 spirit.
Why can't I activate all 4?
I still see one saying "Not enough spirit"

[hoary bison]

Do you have a support gem on one that reserves spirit?

[fallen cedar]

No

It's Herald of Ice, Herald of Thunder, Combat Frenzy and Ghost Dance

Thunder has Elemental Focus and Inevitable Critical

Ghost Dance has no supports

Combat Frenzy has Profusion

Herald of Ice has Vitality and Magnified Effect (but it's the one I'm trying to activate)

[hoary bison]

Vitality has a 120% cost multiplier

[fallen cedar]

Ah HA.

So instead of 30, that needs... 75?

[hoary bison]

66 if my calculator know math.

[thin basin]

No its a flat 20

Youre missing 1 spirit for it

[fallen cedar]

Lol DAMN

[hoary bison]

Oh, well I apologize for the misinformation

[fallen cedar]

Thanks guys

[hoary bison]

I just googled and hit the first link lol, it said 120%, my bad.

[fallen cedar]

I wonder if I improve quality on the neck it'll give me more spirit

[steel elm]

guys i be struggeling a lot with damage conversion.

Can anybody tell me what will cause higher DPS Number

73% increased Lightning Damage or 20% of Damage as Extra Lightning Damage

[thorny token]

depends on how much increased damage you already have and how much damage asextra you already have

as both have diminishing returns

[brisk glade]

I have seen builds with gemling int stacking with weapon swap to bow with lightning rod and the orb skills, are they actually good?

[sleek portal]

Hey guys, anyone willing to have a chat with me on what I'm doing with monk? I don't really have a direction. Atm I'm just throwing perks anywhere and not really sure what I'm looking for with gear etc

[humble wave]

Does Blind do anything if you're running the perk that transforms all your Evasion into Armor? I've seen builds picking up Sand in the Eyes while also running Iron Reflexes. Isn't Blind useless if your Evasion is 0 % ?

[upbeat crow]

is this good?

[grim sun]

Any got a good idear for a Trials Of Sekhamas Runner? Thats not a spark build?xDD

[tidal copper]

Yes i think so
Also why will you be so high on the tree
Can I see what you cooking

[hybrid ocean]

I really wish we had a uniqur jewel with something like the following propety:

"Can be placed into any jewel socket on the tree, and will allocate it even if it is not connected"

[mystic osprey]

I'm using fire spells. I have increased elemental damage, increased fire damage on the tree. Are these multiplicative with each other? Other two nodes I'm interested in is "35% increased damage with hits against burning enemies" and "15% increased damage for each type of elemental ailment on enemy". Are these additive or multiplicative with each other? and are they multiplicative with fire and elemental damage? I know "increased" is addition and "more" is multiplicative, but I heard if two different sentences contain "increased" such as "X% increased lightning damage" and "X% increased damage while affected by a herald, they are multiplicative with each other. Might be wrong though.

[humble wave]

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/witchhunter-galvanic-bigdaddy

just looking at a build I found and I saw he has both Nodes, which in my mind directly clash

[hybrid ocean]

Letting you basically split your tree in half

[tidal copper]

Impossible scape might come from poe1

[tiny phoenix]

From Nothing does that with keystones

But only in a radius, so it's not as good a split

[fierce coyote]

Hey so after my first Ascendency I chose Legionaire. However after my second ascendency it gave me the option AGAIN to choose between Witch Hunter and Legionaire. If I chose Witch Hunter after the 2nd Ascendency after picking Legionaire for the first, would it overwrite Legionaire?

[tiny phoenix]

I think that once you allocate a single point it will lock in your ascendancy forever (or until GGG puts in ascendancy repecs)

[hybrid ocean]

You should try anyway though

Foe science

And report back

[fierce coyote]

So I already had 2 points in Legionaire. When I completed Temple of Chaos for 2nd Ascendency it popped up with the two circles containing the different classes. It would let me select between them but I again selected Legionaire because I know how I want to build my class

But my buddy chose Acolyte of Chayula and is wondering when he completes Temple of Chaos what will happen if he picks the other option

[tiny phoenix]

Best class/ascendancy for a Temporalis Auto bomber (who would like to be at least a little bit tanky)?

[velvet blade]

If you have "7% reduced attack speed" on your quiver, and you have 80% increased bonuses gained from equipped quiver, will you have 12% reduced attack speed or 1% reduced attack speed?

[hybrid ocean]

The former I'd think

[velvet blade]

damn

[hybrid ocean]

Honestly, have you considered Titan?

[hybrid ocean]

You should test it just to ve sure

[tiny phoenix]

I haven't, but now I'm thinking about it.

[hybrid ocean]

Simply respec out of your quiver effect nodes and see if firerate goes up

Titan might not be that good for it though on further consideration, since all the meta skill energy gain nodes are on the exact opposite part of the tree

[velvet blade]

Oh yeah, it definitely makes it slower x_x

[hybrid ocean]

Maybe Invoker for the 35% more energy? It's probably that, honestly

How much ES does your temporalis have?

[desert zephyr]

Are there any tools out there for calculating dps yet?

[velvet blade]

calculator

[desert zephyr]

[velvet blade]

If there aren't any like PoB yet, you could probably get pretty far using an AI and giving it the equations that GGG uses for calculating damage

And set up a scenario within the AI and just asking it how much damage something would do with certain stats

[hybrid ocean]

Ehhh

[tidal copper]

I want to see that!

[hybrid ocean]

AI is just stronger autocomplete. The ones that can actually do any math do so by turning themselves off and referring to a calculator instead

They have no internal process corresponding to what you're asking them about

[midnight geode]

yo guys im making a bow/crossbow weapon swap build (plasma blast + shockburst for bosses, ice shot for maping) and gonna get cold dmg on the bow and lightning on crossbow. Will stormcaller arrow still shock consistently even tho ill get almost no lightning dmg on bow?

[calm sonnet]

Hello, I’m looking to try and make a ice demon form build. Would anyone have any info or tips on that?

[lapis pewter]

anyone here running a minion build and doing maps? need help with my build

[velvet blade]

Is triggering a skill considered "using a skill"?

[scenic dawn]

Are we getting one handed axes?

I know we’re getting swords

[velvet blade]

eventually

[scenic dawn]

Dope that’s all I needed to know

[runic creek]

What're the main benefits of using a two handed staff instead of a wand/offhand?

[scenic dawn]

The skills they give vary

[velvet blade]

The + to level stat on staves go up to +7 where it only goes to +5 on wands

[scenic dawn]

Two handed staff are usually elemental skills wands are usually mana drain or life sap @runic creek

[runic creek]

Ok thank you

[velvet blade]

Although, a focus can give you +2 to level so a wand and focus is probably just as good as a staff, just different inherent skills

[elder mural]

How block recovery work exactly ? I assume it give you some sort of stun treshold from blocked hit but i can't find any info on that.

[velvet blade]

I think blocking something plays a short animation as if you got stunned but take no damage so recovery probably speeds up that animation

[elder mural]

That's DIablo2 breakpoint mechanic i doubt it's the same here.

But again there is no info

[tidal copper]

Poe 1 wiki? They are pretty similar surely the information more or less applies

[dark saddle]

https://youtu.be/TD1P3fBkxV0?t=900 What is this build?

[hushed umbra]

is this broken on snipe?

[elder mural]

Poe1 formula : Block Duration = 350 / ( 1 + Block and Stun Recovery + Block Recovery )
I assume Stun recovery = stun treshold in poe2 ?

[thin basin]

Threshold should be the amount of damage you take to be stunned

More threshold = less likely to be stunned when hit

[thorny token]

basically just normal monk build with double heralds

theres plenty of guides for something similar i believe

stun threshold should just be basically grabbing pseudo extra life for stun checks no

[thin basin]

Yes stun ehp if you will

[thorny token]

its helmet slot, and you get like 50% chance to poison just from grabbing mandatory nodes

so like its ok

but i would rather have helmet and use envenom most of the time ngl

[dark saddle]

‘normal’? so ice strike?

[thorny token]

or just cap through jewels or some shit

[dark saddle]

and the electric thingies

[thorny token]

both ice strike and tempest flurry can do that

but yes

tempest flurry being better skill imo

[dark saddle]

do both heralds always do those big explosions? they dont seem to be as effective for me

[thorny token]

you need to scale them a bit so they chain from eachother

with specific supports and so

[dark saddle]

which gems

supports

[thorny token]

you can probs google that on youtubne there are specific guides for that as well

[pseudo delta]

is there a way in poe2db to search which gear parts can roll a specific mod? the only way I see is to painstakingly navigating through all item types noting down which ones have the mod I want

[thorny token]

just search for hot and hoi

hmm poedb had "all" page for all modifers

looks like poe2db doesnt have it

[pseudo delta]

ikr? wonder if they moved it somewhere else?

[thorny token]

try craftofexile maybe it has support for poe2 now as well

maybe theres a way to search there

[pseudo delta]

oooh it does exist: https://www.craftofexile.com/?game=poe2

[hushed umbra]

So it doens't work?

I'd rather sacrifice a helmet slot than support and 10 pasive points

[thorny token]

it does work

but you want those points anyway if you are doing poison so like 🤷‍♂️

[hushed umbra]

but why?

[thorny token]

and helmet slot is op

for eva and es

[hushed umbra]

snipe would always crit

[thorny token]

to get max poisons and duration?

and magnitude

[hushed umbra]

only need to get 1 chance to poison node for that

You can ignore the rest with that

[stable cloak]

@shadow stone may I ask, which stat should I get high and which stat should I get low on temporalis on your build?

[thorny token]

you can but you arent losing much by clicking the chance. and helmet slot is way more important than that

because its either 500 es and 1k eva or like 1.3k eva

[hushed umbra]

I disagree 🤷‍♀️
1 support and 10 skill points is better
Especially if increasing damage of a 400 % crit bonus skill

[thorny token]

i mean im literally playing poison snipe right now, i think i would rather have my eva and es because more damage is not what im struggling with at all lul

and its not +10 skill points either

i just path through the poison chance smalls and thats it

the notables are needed either way

[midnight geode]

i see a lot of ppl going with this notable for ice shot builds and the ricochet gem... am i missing smth? Doesnt this just make arrows bounce off walls? Sounds useless

[hushed umbra]

Most of my defenses are covered by being in co-op so don't really care about 1k base evasion

[thorny token]

its not useless with the map layouts we have rn

[midnight geode]

ahh i see

[thorny token]

thers a lot of closed layouts

[mystic osprey]

how can i check my weapon's dps do I can compare it with the items on the market?

[thorny token]

you have to calc it manually

[ebon rover]

should i be taking the "stack an additional curse" passive skill in the tree if I'm planning on doing a hexblast demon form witch?

[thorny token]

but like its just (min + max) / 2 * aps

pretty simple

[midnight geode]

yeah didnt think about that, tbh i dont like it

[thorny token]

yea i dont think anyone likes it :d

[midnight geode]

they should release big maps

[dark saddle]

why is that?

[thorny token]

it has a lot of strike range

on quality

makes the skill a lot smoother to play

[dark saddle]

smoother than ice strike?

ice strike procs hoi

[thorny token]

yes

[dark saddle]

how do you proc hoi then

[thorny token]

you can proc hoi while playing tempest flurry as well

you support hot with cold supports and hoi with lightning supports

get some generic scaling, some freeze buildup and they proc eachother

and its even stronger than just running hoi with the ring normally

[dark saddle]

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/coc-balls-invoker-ronarray this build?

[thorny token]

idk about that one

its using howa with regular staff so looks pretty bad to me

[midnight geode]

bro the plasma blast beam pierces everything and bounces with the ricochet gem

its soooo broken on bosses wtf

[dark saddle]

do u know a good guide then

[midnight geode]

before i was doing 50-60% of boss hp with it, now im almost killing it

[thorny token]

i do not i dont rly follow them much

[dark saddle]

ah

[thorny token]

ah thats nice for sure, how big is the range on it? might be useful for me too as im also playing plasma blast on one of my chars

[midnight geode]

its massive, goes off the screen

but it doesnt pierce after the first bounce

so additional chain notables wont work

just put the gem only

[thorny token]

oh its 6 metres base

yea thats quite a bit i guess

you can get 100% chance from jewels btw

to chain from terrain

[midnight geode]

holy

im shooting 4 beams with deadeye ascendency and that gem with the extra projecetiles, thatll make it 8 hits

[ruby chasm]

as a poison gas arrow pf which of these bows are stronger?

[thorny token]

does it actually hit extra times hmm bceause i wouldnt expect it to

[thorny token]

first one is better

[ruby chasm]

is the additional arrow better than the raw dmg?

alr thanks

[thorny token]

additional arrow for gas is just qol mostly

but the first bow is so much better it doesnt matter anyway

[ruby chasm]

yea i kinda guessed so but just wanted to make sure, tyty

[ruby chasm]

that zealot bow seems like a super juicy roll for act 3 normal idk if i got super lucky or what

[midnight geode]

nvm it does pierce the 2nd time, i just thought it doesnt cuz it stops but its the chain distance limit

[thorny token]

yea but if theres only boss and nothing else

[midnight geode]

ooh only 1 target?

let me try ill have to find a boss

im still in campaign on this char

[thorny token]

i mean hitting with the explosion is still giga useful even if it just goes through on the chain

but if the chain do not even happens then yea not that useful

[midnight geode]

yeah thats only with the gem

40% chance

[ruby chasm]

if i want to chance getting these gloves will i have to chance a normal set of evasion gloves?

[dark saddle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRCfOf6Z3nE&t=28s this one?

[wet mango]

6 no?

[thorny token]

yes

[wet mango]

Spine bracers specifically

[ruby chasm]

oh okay

what are the chances for each upgrade?

[midnight geode]

nah i think it can only chain to a single target once

but its still super useful

[ruby chasm]

also what level will the spine bracers have to be?

[thorny token]

rip

[midnight geode]

might use it on plasma blast, other wise ill just put it on ice shot for mapping

[faint solstice]

I'm working on building a demon form using MoM. Currently, I'm equipped with the Mask of the Stitched Demon, Ghostwrithe, and Carnage Heart. However, my life is still at 420, and my life regeneration is only 200. Are there any passive tree nodes I should focus on or specific gear I should consider to maximize life regeneration?

[hallow mantle]

guys ! i'm lv 67 , ! and, i want to change my build to End-Game ( o play sorcerer ) Could anyone recommend a build to study or read?

[old oriole]

does chaos bow converts my skill dmg to chaos 100%? if not how do convert my skill dmg to chaos?

[modern oak]

Would spells with Cooldown trigger when part of "Cast on" Meta gem and triggers happen in less then spells cooldown time?

[supple crag]

is freeze 'buildup' considered an ailment itself?

[velvet blade]

freeze buildup is just the rate at which you freeze an enemy

the freeze is the ailment

[supple crag]

asking for a passive - 40% crit against enemies without ailments. so freeze buildup wouldn't count, right?

only if they were frozen

[velvet blade]

Right. "Freeze Buildup" just referes to how quickly you are able to apply freeze to something

[thorny token]

you cant convert phys to chaos

the chaos bow is one of the most useless bases

there isnt even flat chaos prefix

[supple crag]

ok it pops up on the enemy name plates so just making sure

[thorny token]

so would recommend just not using that base at all

[old oriole]

does that mean i can't do chaos dmg snipe(and other bow skills)?

[thorny token]

you can do elemental ones

with original sin

or poison based on phys on snipe

but chaos hit with phys skill would be pretty suboptimal indeed

[toxic cobalt]

How often should I exchange my equipment? I bought a whole set with exalted orbs at lv30 and now I'm nearing lv50 and I was thinking of spending exalteds again to get equipment specifically for my build. Is that a good idea?

[thorny token]

as only way to do that is stacking phys as extra chaos but then you are wasting bunch of phys thats unconverted

[alpine patio]

is gas arrow (with QotF) build good? https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/profile/48466d3a-f846-4da6-97a1-7580acd85c0c/builds/ea6dff15-9bf2-451b-b062-358ef1b861bf?weaponSet=set1

for endgame

I just saw someone do like 25mil damage to Asc4 boss each hit, I was wondering if this build can get to those numbers

[ruby chasm]

whats the chance that a vaaling a gem adds a socket?

[hallow mantle]

guys ! i'm lv 67 , ! and, i want to change my build to End-Game ( o play sorcerer ) Could anyone recommend a build to study or read?

[regal cape]

guys im losing my mind, please tell me how many skill points should I have at level 91 + 24 from quests.

[velvet blade]

I think you only get +23 from quests

Yeah, 100 from levels and 23 from quests. You should have 114 at level 91

[regal cape]

im just confused why I only have 111 skill points when my math is saying i should have 114

[velvet blade]

Probably missed a 2 pointer from the acts

[regal cape]

But i just rechecked and I've done all side quests and have the 24 weapon skill points

[velvet blade]

Hmmm

Yeah, that's strange

[gray ferry]

Hey, couple questions - In what ways can we add chaos damage to spells or convert spell damage to chaos damage? I know there is the 'Extraction' support that adds 25% of damage as extra chaos damage, at the cost of 10% life, but are there other ways? Can you get added chaos damage on gear? Second question, I was wondering, would the 10% life cost of 'Extraction' kill you if you are running Chaos Innoculation? What about if you are also running Mind Over Matter?

[arctic pond]

There's Ming's Heart that adds 30-40% of damage as extra chaos

[old ingot]

I messed up on my character and I don't want to start over T^T reeeee. I was following a guide, because I'm trash at character conceptualization building D: sorry, and I made the wrong character to do the build with. So now Idk what to do with myself lol

[arctic pond]

And Original Sin which converts all elemental damage into chaos

[gray ferry]

oh Original Sin might be the play

[old ingot]

I was following a Blood Mage build, which because I'm brain dead I didn't look at which class that belonged to, and made a Sorceress...

[gray ferry]

ty

Though I wonder, would Original Sin even convert archmage damage? I forget the whole order of operations for these damage conversions and calcs...

[pearl sluice]

How do i get the remaining points? I've killed a bunch of ilvl 79-80 bosses, but no more books

[tiny phoenix]

Kill the Arbiter

[pearl sluice]

That's 2 more points, but the others?

[velvet blade]

Arbiter, and killing map bosses of higher level, so one while the area is corrupted, and one while the area is corrupted plus irradiated

[pearl sluice]

ahh i see

Thanks

[old ingot]

Which would be better for a starting Sorceress, Stormweaver or Chrono? Build wise.

[tiny phoenix]

Oh wait.. You need more points than that.. You need to do a T16, a T16 on a irr node, and a T16 on a corrupted Irr node.

[pearl sluice]

Do you think 8.1K es, with 5.8k EVA over caped res, 78/76/76 is good enough for Arby in HC?

[velvet blade]

I haven't killed the arbiter in sc yet :P I have no clue

Would definitely check out yt vids first

[pearl sluice]

Dang

[arctic pond]

It should work. Just beware that the chaos damage wont inherit things like "+#% To lightning damage"

[gray ferry]

Understood, thank you

[thorny token]

it doesnt work

all conversion happens at once which means added as extra wont get converted

as its part of the conversion

[gray ferry]

oh? 🤔

So you'd end up with chaos + lightning?
