2┃build-planning

[static plinth]

Okay yeah you need minimal AoE, but i think smaller AoE means less spikes too

[vale pewter]

ah

[static plinth]

You can only have one cage nvm its joever

[peak acorn]

wbu crit hit chance to increase spark speed

[hardy haven]

Which Monk is better now cold or lightning?

[last sun]

is this normal?

or is it a website bug?

cuz its showing distilled on every big node

[last sun]

im cold AND lightning

[sage gyro]

does area of effect increases dark effigy shooting range?

[maiden lion]

anyone know why it says that socketed skill missing even though i have lightning conduit in?

[visual wasp]

PLS HELP! Q: how do you guys deal with lack of jeweller orbs in HC SFF? crafting in SSF is just full garbage it seems? 😦

[minor tree]

What options do we have to build around demonic form? I like builds that have super high theoretical ceilings and it looks super interesting

[frosty arrow]

crafting in general in this game is full garbage mostly

[peak acorn]

probably spirit

[minor tree]

I guess one way is to go high hp, full recoup, with infernal flame

[peak acorn]

go to the ! mark and it will say

[minor tree]

And the other is 200hp + flat Regen to offset the health drain

[maiden lion]

i have the spirit

more then enough

[narrow trench]

With sorc is it best to go with pure energy shield or evasion and energy shield ?

[minor tree]

Also I'm thinking that mana tempest + infernal flame + 100% recoup could be very interesting, as your health will keep taking damage and be recouped faster and faster as you cast spells

I wonder if there's a way to turn that into damage

Also is there a limit to max recoup per second?

Since with >100% recoup, that would eventually scale forever if not

[sacred warren]

what's the fastest (non-temporalis blink) build?

[waxen jewel]

What is the amount of % needed for a flask use to cost only 7 charges? It uses some weird rounding instead of floor

[peak acorn]

then what the mark says go put the mouse there

[waxen jewel]

I'd just want this for item filter

This makes no sense

[azure wyvern]

does this work with totems?

[waxen jewel]

both 22% reduced and 25% reduced have 7 charge cost

[tidal copper]

I wonder where the next break point is ...

[midnight bolt]

"For slams skills you use yourself"

99% sure it wont work, maybe with suockwave totems, cause they have slam tag but even then it would be considered a bug

[waxen jewel]

Well, I'd guess it's at < 1.0 - (ceil #%Reduced Charges) at this point idk

[still rock]

for what purpose vs flameblast or ice nova

[waxen jewel]

What's the point of this comment? I'm used to everything being rounded against the player in my games, so this is pretty weird, but thanks

[static plinth]

Flameblast is slow and Ice Nova deals no damage

[azure wyvern]

wouldn't this work really well with totems?

[static plinth]

Damage on bone cage is per spike

[tidal copper]

I hadn't really read I could roll a few flasks to see but your guess is correct afsik

[sullen yew]

Looking for witch minion leveling guide

Little confused on the ones in seeing

[maiden lion]

with lightning conduit in it

[azure wyvern]

increased area of effect for shockwave totems

[waxen jewel]

Oh sorry I interpreted you as sarcastic... 21% reduced still shows 7 charges uses

[dapper marten]

whats the best corpsewade ascendancy?

[maiden lion]

but when i put spark in it it works

[peak acorn]

yeah it misses socket

[maiden lion]

what socket?

[static plinth]

Pathfinder for double poison stacks, probably

[maiden lion]

or how do i socket it

[atomic halo]

totems dont use your weapon

[calm lava]

Does Immolate (30% extra damage vs ignited enemies) stack with Firestorm (Removes ignite on enemies to do extra damage)?

[atomic halo]

only the first two modifiers would work, if any

[azure wyvern]

yea, I am talking about the area of effect

[atomic halo]

well sure, but you're using mh and offhand to give them some aoe

[azure wyvern]

shockwave totem seems to have one of the biggest aoe

[atomic halo]

compare that to giants blood with + level maces

the damage is not on the same planet

[indigo valley]

Is there any good deadeye build with good defences ? I am playing LA Crit with acrobatics at 70-75% eva but still kinda feel weak

[autumn sluice]

shattering palm what support gems do u suggest

[narrow trench]

As a sorc should I just go with energy shield or do I want evasion as well ?

[astral willow]

pure ES

better to do one thing really well than two things okay

[narrow trench]

Thanks

NEED HELP! Does Avatar of fire also convert Mana Tenpes %dmg??

[soft nymph]

I'm a lv69 Invoker Monk and I just got a ghostwrithe drop. What do i need to do with my passives and/or what other equipment do i need before i can start safely using this?

i can see by reading it how its great. just not sure how to rebuild around it

[visual wasp]

NEED HELP! Does Avatar of fire also convert Mana Tenpes %dmg?

[soft nymph]

I'm having trouble finding a build guide that isn't like "be level 75 and have 8 pieces of sick gear"

[lunar rivet]

like one of the simplest uniques to work with, just get some % increased ES

[soft nymph]

ok, so i dont need to worry about getting a bunch of str passives to buff HP or anything. just get some gear with ES buffs?

[brazen loom]

Health scaling sucks, ES scaling is easy.

[dense surge]

is there a way to buff wildshards or somehow launch more projectiles? so far i have unleash , scattershot and probability of extra projectiles

but i feel it not enuf

[visual wasp]

NEED HELP PLS anyone?! ❤️

[brazen loom]

Look at Snakepit ring, it’s like 15 ex.

[dense surge]

oh . god.

[brazen loom]

There’s a support gem that does the same, but the gem lowers damage on split, the ring doesn’t.

[minor tree]

If I have pyromantic pact and painter gloves would I be able to freeze and shock myself? 😂

[dense surge]

is p good ngl, is it the only unique or way to add effect? i was thinking of corrupting but i dont really know if it adds to it

[median kraken]

I think snakepit and fork support are currently the only way to add fork to fireball. Corrupting the ring I don't think can add more forks and chains, only more cast speed and spell damage.

There is a node you can anoint for 70% chance for fork to make an extra projectile for even more projectiles once you use snakepit or the gem though

[brazen loom]

I think it’s the only unique with split, dunno about Vaal.

[dense surge]

more than fork im looking for more projectiles, tho forking is great too, i was using the support gem so far

[dense surge]

i see

[median kraken]

Well, fork gives more projectiles eventually, they just gave to hit something else first. Combines well with frost wall with spell cascade so the fireballs fork on the first wall and then all the projectiles explode on the second

You've qualitied the fireball, right?

[dense surge]

ooh wait i wasnt properly understanding fork for a sec

not yet(didnt know was posible tbf)

[median kraken]

Yeah, fork makes it so the first time each fireball hits something, it'll split into two, and then those will explode when they hit the next thing. With the support gem those will do half damage but with snakepit it's just extra projectiles.

The downside is that there's no explosion when they fork, so you kind of need frost wall with spell cascade to get the full shotgun and it ends up kind of inconsistent overall. But it's fun and flashy and the damage is great when it works.

[dense surge]

ooh

ill honestly try that out if i can get my hands on the snakepit

appreciate the info

[stone mortar]

are instant spells the one with no colddown?

[viral crag]

Is there anything in-game that explains how mutiple poison sources interact/overwrite each other (if at all?)

[topaz thistle]

bloodmage what options do i have aside from spark/dd?

any reccos

[shut comet]

Why i cant add this

[dense surge]

to add supps on skillgems i recommend keyboard

bc on controller its unclear

for example you get that message on metagems but you still can use them

[slim galleon]

hello, i am having trouble playing the late game. I cannot get enough waystones to continue, like I need lvl 5 or more but now I am stuck with lvl 2, even though I always upgrade them to magic or rare and have all quantity altas passive points. Numerous times it has happened that I got two rare lvl 4 waystones and even though I cleared fully the two maps only zero or one waystone dropped (that was lower tier). How do I sustain this economy?

[sharp void]

Was trying to just get started and so I found this ranger guide
https://hacktheminotaur.com/guides/best-beginner-ranger-build-for-path-of-exile-2/

But it only goes to ~ level 33.. what ranger build is fun to transition to as im approaching end of normal act 2?

[haughty hemlock]

Hey guys, I have +5 All Spell Skills modifier on Wand and Focus but it does not apply on Lightning Conduit if i socket it on Cast on Shock. If i seperately stock it it gives +5 level. What am i doing wrong ? From the guides i watch on Youtube it gives + level when socketed on Cast on Shock.

[left ledge]

For totally mitigating damage take. We have blocking and dodging. Is there any other ways to completely avoid taking damage

[haughty hemlock]

If anyone has an idea really appreciated

[glossy swift]

Walking out of the way works

[primal ocean]

I believe all poisons sources apply at the same time and the top one ticks. As additional +poision is picked up, it takes the next highest active poion roll

[viral crag]

I'm more concerned with when the poison slots are full.
For example, if I've got max 1 poison and poison with a 10 damage attack is ticking, and a 1000 damage attack comes in... does it have a chance to poison, and will it overwrite?
What about the opposite? If that 1000 damage poison is ticking, can the 10 damage attack overwrite it?

I expect either yes or no in both cases, I just can't confirm which (or if it's either of them at all)

[primal ocean]

My understanding of it is they would both "apply"

and tick down in tandem, but the one with the most damage would be considered "active"

as you add +max then 2 would tick down at a time, then 3, etc.

[viral crag]

Interesting, that would actually be interesting to confirm. That would basically be the ideal scenario for us.

[primal ocean]

Would need someone else to verify it, but I think that's what I recall seeing in an interview Jonathan did

[viral crag]

Hey, hearing it might have come up in a interview is more than I had to go on before. Appreciate the recommendation 👍

@primal ocean For what it's worth, just noticed the official wiki seems to agree with you. That's a great start.

[upbeat ivy]

what is this worth??

just rolled

[still rock]

one billion doll hairs

#price-check📉

How tf are you supposed to aggravate bleeding with spells

phys spells are in such a weird place on the passive tree

not having a clear identity

[neat bison]

Yeah I’m gonna try to brew a build with them but it looks grim

[still rock]

bleed sucks as it is

even if you do manage to aggravate lol

im thinking maybe it makes sense to do it as CoC with an attack

so you can make use of the bleed stuff on south side

but we dont really have like great CoC attack support rn outside of maybe gothic qstaff

mayb CoC whirling assault

[sinful spoke]

@still rock not crazy about the reduce stat req, but this came out rly nice, empty socket still

[sudden pewter]

what i have to do to get three projectiles monk storm wave skill is there passive node

[still rock]

you know i lowkey was thinking about getting a high armor shield with lowered str req to use as invoker instead so you can get the juicy free extra cold

bu ig you need str anyways for shield charge

[sinful spoke]

yeah exactly, the str req is pretty high too

im thinking titan with str and hp stacking

[still rock]

thats the most straightforward

im just a hipster

[sinful spoke]

🫣 just gotta level one

[still rock]

wanted to use the shield in conjunction with eva/es gear to make use of protect me from Harm

and get free extra cold dmg for the shatter

i was also thinking about warbringer block nodes

because while you shield charge

you block all blockable hits 100%

and warbringer can block aoes

[sudden tartan]

hi i need help and no one is responding in my thread , i'm playing an Ice quarterstaff CI stormweaver and I keep dying in maps

since PoB isn't out yet I've triedto import my build into the mobalytics planner

I think it might be because I dont have much ES recovery? idk

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/profile/a2741bd5-a623-4393-ab69-9a83824b8234/builds/503fd4c9-35ca-4093-90c5-33026b39d81c here is my build so far

[sinful spoke]

oh thats worth considering

[still rock]

warbringer going for two block nodes, pdr% jade thing, and breaka rmor to use armor explosion perhaps

or just an easy way to scale scavenged plating

you just arent titan so your ehp is lower

but you also get renly's since we dont care about high block chance on our shield

so it gives it 40% for free

and enough spam of shield charge makes you effectively immune to any hits anyways

because warbringer block op

[sinful spoke]

that makes sense, i mean i can still go str stacking to get decent tank

since im less worried about damage

[still rock]

yeah you can still do atziris disdain

just not getting the 8% life, small passive nodes, or 15% more life

but youd get easier scavenged plating stacking and block stuff

[sinful spoke]

🤔 i will see if i can plan out a tree first, depends on how much im traveling

[still rock]

and 10% pdr is actually pretty good for armor because theres not much additional pdr in the game as of now

armor kinda needs flat pdr underneath the armor for it to be effective

[sinful spoke]

i still have my old gemling armor before morior

could definitely put this to use

🫣 i will see how temporalis is needed actually

[still rock]

honestly ar/es might be better idk

but yeah temporalis on chest

[sinful spoke]

yeah forgot temporalis is chest T.T

[still rock]

i opted to just go full ar/es on my titanblaster and im at 3.3k life and 4.9k es

disdain helm then max life rolls on ar/es throughout rest of gear

[thin basin]

tree people

make it look less sad

[still rock]

pink

[thin basin]

es, ele, crit, cold is the goal

[sinful spoke]

kk i will look into it, thx

[still rock]

np

might make more sense since youre stuck with temporalis

so you can get benefit from anointing melding or patient barrier

[still rock]

you keep dropping tidbits but i dont think i ever saw the original concept?

[bold basalt]

Yoo what's up everyone iam new to the group looking for some advice my fire mage is feeling weak any ideas how I can upgrade my damage on the 2 different fire ball spells or any must have uniques

[thin basin]

i said es, ele, crit, cold is the goal thats basically what i need for the tree 🧑‍🍳

let me see if i can match others ppl tree

[still rock]

i mean what skills, ascendancy, etc, lol

[thin basin]

oh i posted before let me see

[indigo zinc]

Does rarity stack? I got a lucky slam with an orb of chance on a gold ring that gives 72% rarity if i wear that with a second ring that gives 24% would that be 96%

[bold basalt]

Yea they stack i see ppl talking all the time the rarity stat is op

Get rich quicker then buy better equips

[still rock]

yeah sounds good

what skill do you want rn

[indigo zinc]

Unfortunately it also comes with -20% to all resistances so I'll have to regear to build them back up to use it though lol

[thin basin]

unfortunately have to be some icewall frostbolt or comet thing

[still rock]

i like the weapon swap curse tech

ima yoink

[drifting cedar]

has anyone here tried phys caster warbringer yet? my scuffed testing shows that maxing negative armor on an enemy is basically a 2x damage multiplier

[still rock]

no but i did do a spiral volley warbringer and it absolutely fucks everything in sight but dies to a sneeze

[drifting cedar]

yeah, thought was a caster could use a shield and go armor break + turtle charm

[fast nest]

I could use help moving into t15s and juiced maps. I feel like I am dying very fast, and my damage is starting to fall off. This is my build https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/profile/a9cf7ff9-1c3e-4049-940b-6725bbcc84c5/builds/12734d00-0c1b-464c-acd2-7ee0481cf9a8

[still rock]

i was gunna path up a phys caster just to get an idea actually

just started

[drifting cedar]

theres a pretty good amount of untyped phys damage around warrior start too

[still rock]

was thinking witchhunter for memes

and maybe going CoC route with bleed support

[drifting cedar]

coc + bleed? i dont think you can stack bleeds now

[still rock]

CoC solely to utilize aggravate bleeding with attacks

so we trigger with like high crit gothic qstaff whirling assault or something

[drifting cedar]

ah right

no good ways to aggravate spell bleeds i take it

havent looked into it much

[still rock]

i couldnt find much

beetlebite maybe

[drifting cedar]

oh right yeah

[still rock]

but i did want to try a CoC whirling assault so this would give me a decent reason to try it

[blissful stratus]

Gemling, witchunter, or deadeye for boss-focused HoWA crossbow build?

[still rock]

i wonder if it makes more sense to do CoC RoA with bonestorm

+proj skills

[drifting cedar]

are you trying to have the coc skill do damage too?

[still rock]

not necessarily but losing the +spells from a wand sucks

[drifting cedar]

yeah fair

im hoping flails get some spell stuff

[still rock]

i wanted to do bone cage

[drifting cedar]

scepters were a pain to roll but you could make some really stupid meme items

oo bone cage

i might try this as a bone cage build

[still rock]

conc effect bone cage CoC from some attack w aggravated bleeding chance

was my first idea

[drifting cedar]

i have literally never touched bone cage but is it like diablo 2 bone cage and if so would casting it in melee range be annoying?

[still rock]

astral projection

would fix that

but idk how that works with trigger

problem with bow it seems is highest rare crit on top end is 10% vs 16.5% from gothic qstaff

[left ledge]

Yeah I do plan to have more movement speed. But I figured that was the only ways

[still rock]

warpicks can get to 13% tho

[drifting cedar]

what are bow base crits like? theres that glove that sets base to 8%

[still rock]

5%

[drifting cedar]

although idk how that interacts with local crit mods on weapons

[still rock]

i assume its just additive

so top end for bow would be 13 with the gloves

[drifting cedar]

its got up to 30% crit bonus on it too

not the WORST thing in the world

glove slot usually pretty competitive though

[still rock]

yeah id want a lot of ias

benefit of going warpick route is faster ats and can use focus

[arctic pond]

You can get a +5% Crit Chance mod on all bows

[still rock]

yeah, i was adding the +5 to the +8 from the gloves

[arctic pond]

I mean on top of the base 5%

So 10% no gloves

And theres a skill node that gives +1%

[still rock]

ah bonestorm is channelled rip

what mace skills hit really fast

and alot of area

[drifting cedar]

this is not a thing that maces do

[still rock]

fark

prob sunder

best bet

[drifting cedar]

sooo slow

[arctic pond]

You could stack a load of skill speed/ attack speed for a fast mace

[still rock]

w upheaval

[drifting cedar]

it has a huge added attack time you cant change

[still rock]

omg yeah ew +1.4s

[drifting cedar]

this is why everyone just uses stampede and mace strike

stampede big, mace strike not fast but at least not slow

[slim cobalt]

i feel like i'm missing something with plaguefinders. if I get lots of quiver damage and equip them with poison it should scale poisoin damage pretty well, no?

[still rock]

can aftershocks crit

[drifting cedar]

i assume they always crit if the base hit crits but idk

[arctic pond]

Plaguefinder or Plaguefinger?

[slim cobalt]

finger

[drifting cedar]

widowhail too?

youll still need to scale the hit damage, not just get poison magnitude

[arctic pond]

It'd only make a difference if you're dealing damage other than physical/chaos

[slim cobalt]

not currently using widowhail

[drifting cedar]

oh sorry assumed when you said quiver damage

[still rock]

what about volcanic fissure and stampede on top of it

[haughty wadi]

do "X melee damage with one handed wep" work with shield skills?

[still rock]

is that silly

[slim cobalt]

yeah but flat chaos is impossible to get, and flat phys is only so possible to come by, i'm also playing ssf so

[drifting cedar]

have you played a mace build

[still rock]

no lmao

[slim cobalt]

i'm trying to find a creative way to get more damage while i manage to brick every bow i come across

[drifting cedar]

they are just so ponderous

i mean I enjoy it but I would not try to do cast on crit maces

[still rock]

but im not worried abt the dmg just the hit frequency

[dim yacht]

For my deadeye build should level 80 with 800 mana and 79 regen. My sustain against bosses is TERRIBLE. How do I fix that? Any suggestions?

I ABSOLUTELY MELT but the sustain just isn't there.

[arctic pond]

How much non phys/chaos damage are you dealing? the more - the greater the effect of finger

[drifting cedar]

i bet qstaves hit 4-5 times as often on average compared to maces

[still rock]

yeah fair

[dim yacht]

Or should I be using flasks more

[slim cobalt]

i've been trying a few different combos with it

it's 1-1 with finger equipped right?

like the weighting between phys and other types of damage, assuming no boosts to those damages elsewhere

[drifting cedar]

yes it just adds your elemental damage to the pool of damage that can poison

however, scaling gets weird

[slim cobalt]

why's that

[drifting cedar]

your elemental poison scales with elemental damage, not chaos damage

everything will scale with poison magnitude, bow damage, projectile damage

[slim cobalt]

wtf so finger elemental damage doesn't do chaos?

[drifting cedar]

it deals chaos damage

however, increased chaos damage does not increase its damager

[slim cobalt]

oh right

[drifting cedar]

this is also true for other off-element ailments

[still rock]

im pretty sure it is, but wanted to clarify if someone knows - +crit damage bonus on martial weapon is local to attacks made w the weapon, correct?

[slim cobalt]

well increased chaos doesn't effect poison damage anyways

unless you have flat chaos

[drifting cedar]

it does if you do it with chaos damage ye

[slim cobalt]

flat chaos is so hard to come by

unless you run the notable up near the wither notable

where you gain 11%

why run snakebites instead? the 2 extra poison stacks are hard to make without a good bow and scattershot

i've seen some people running them but mobs tend to die before hitting my current 8 stacks anyways

wouldn't the finger scaling be better if you wanted to push anything beyond boss damage?

[minor tree]

Does mana tempest and/or archmage work with pyromantic pact?

[midnight bolt]

no

[tidal copper]

You dont need damage for mobs dont need damage for bosses sounds like you should take health

[thin basin]

archmage/comet/cast on shock is the endplan, but 100% backup is coc comet which is pretty classic

[bold remnant]

Any recommendations? Slow clear but does good dmg

I will replace cold snap with cast on freeze when I get access to it.

But need 30 more spirit

[thin basin]

Could honestly almost crit cap with ingen and 2 cataclysm ring and maybe 2 wheel on the tree

[lucid vortex]

will armour break increase my poison damage inflicted?

[slim cobalt]

i dont think so

at most itll increase the initial hit damage, but not the poison damage itself

[lucid vortex]

i just dont understand the wording on it, it says based on the final hit damage dealt. So if i deal a phys hit when they have no armour that should scale the overall damage right?

[slim cobalt]

no

its based on damage dealt prior to damage taken modifiers

armour break is a damage taken modifier

[lucid vortex]

ah okay

thankyou, i can change my gems around now

[slim cobalt]

yep yep

[lucid vortex]

but dealing a crit will be more damage right?

[slim cobalt]

correct

but scaling crit is incredibly hard

[lucid vortex]

thanks, might get this bootleg build clapping one day lol

[gentle flare]

my build guide

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/profile/3de9cc68-a785-4e1f-8756-eab385733e0b/builds/f8e977d3-9214-427c-8124-32d5f41c5f64

[slim cobalt]

do you need help with it or something?

[hybrid ocean]

Excuse the off-topic, but I thought I'd ask here since people might be more knowledgeable here

[gentle flare]

well I was wondering if Heft works for the physical part of detonate dead .. its hard to tell in testing

trying to decide on 5th support

[hybrid ocean]

Does anyone know if precursor tablets can affect maps already holding the condition?
I.e.
If I have a radiation tablet, can it affect maps that are already irradiated?

[paper relic]

anyone need lvl 4 spirit gems?

[jaunty reef]

anyone know if the cast on dodge + blink combo can trigger any spell? or is there some stuff it wont cast? spells that need targets like the soul offering skill or how about warcries?

[daring bobcat]

Is the increased max mana core only for the piece of armor you slot it on ?

[sharp quail]

Hey guys I'm doing an Ice Strike Invoker build and I'm wondering should I avoid crit nodes until I I'm a higher level where I can actually take advantage of them (I'll have a lot more crit nodes and better crit gear). Should I for now spec them into other useful things like dmg and defense through the acts

[brittle drum]

Im doing something similar on my blood mage, only taken damage for now, though plan to transition at a later date to crit

[compact kiln]

how do people cap all resist and chaos resist at the same time? i'm struggling to find gear that doesn't completely break my dps while doing so

[neat bison]

Rings, boots, belts, gloves and chests are all good places to get resistances

Shields if you use them

[brittle drum]

I dont think resistence suffix' crossover much with DPS rolls but you can get up to 45% res of a specific element, or 27% on Chaos res, per suffix on end game gear

[rapid star]

so I'm going to level a sorcerer to make a Ice Strike of Shocking build... any ideas how tf do i level it up?

[frozen remnant]

any ice monks in here? I am an 85 monk with 60k base ice strike having a hard time doing dps to bosses
does Cast on Shock [Eye of Winter] and Hand of Chayula really make that much of a difference?

[old aurora]

id like to know that as well, on a related note, do you think Painter's Servant
Torn Gloves would work at all with the three dragons helm?

From what I can tell hit dmg stuff does seem to buff the total output if that helps

[manic kite]

i should slam lightning quality into this right?

[static plinth]

Equipping Three Dragons with that just disables your ability to Chill and nothing else

[slim turret]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/lightning-arrow-deadeye#gearing-header
Trying to follow this build and am running into a snag.
How much spirit do I need? I cant figure it out based on what I can tell I need like 200ish and that seems insane.
Any idea about my issues im running into?

[old aurora]

if I include the gloves to or just the helm itself on its own?

[flat stream]

Has anyone tried playing a monk coc (or other trigger meta) since the nerfs awhile back? Variants of CoC have always been my favorite builds in poe1, so I kinda want to try it here.

[old aurora]

ah I reread I understand

[digital grove]

Hey guys, what are your thoughts about fireball sorcerer and combining minions? Or is that a no go

[sterile stone]

you dont use all of them at once, mapping grim + 2x herald ; bossing ghost + CoS

or wind dancer

HoI 30 + HoT 30 + WD 30 + Grim 30 = 120 spirit

[digital grove]

I am shredding with fireball build combined with icewall, but dont now what to do with my spirit i got some minions now, want to use them but are they any good combined with a sorcerer?

[sterile stone]

CoS 60 + Ghost 30 + WD 30 = 120

[neat bison]

You could potentially use raging spirits with like culling strike/maim for utility

[digital grove]

Okay okay ty

[neat bison]

Cause fire ball spawns them right?

[sterile stone]

try look at Ruetue's goratha fireball ice wall build

[digital grove]

Will do! Thanks!

When the proc hits for more fireballs my WHOLE screen is covered in fireballs its crazy

[sterile stone]

wait sorry i meant Goratha

[digital grove]

The minions i have now keep the mobs/bosses on distance thats why i wanted the minions

[wet mango]

my guess is no since you're not using a 1H weapon with that skill
that would also be consistent with PoE1

[tall trail]

I have more of a math/damage calculation question, im currently taking all but one of the chaos damage branches but is it a waste to have this many? for example 28% less increased chaos damage be better or worse than say 28% area damage assuming my main damage spell is an aoe and I dont have much increased area damage

[sterile stone]

not really familiar with the build but prolly can yoink something from his build that you can use

[wet mango]

all "incr damage" goes together
#1321237459987726366 message

[digital grove]

Thanks bro!

[sterile stone]

note that theres been couple of patches so make sure you watch the latest iteration

[wet mango]

if your spell is chaos aoe, then incr chaos damage and incr area damage do the exact same thing

[tall trail]

ahhh okay I see, thanks!

[dense slate]

why evasion doesn't work in this game as supposed to work. I'm getting killed with single magic or physical hit on t15 cards. I've tried accrobatics (it doesnt garantee u evasion from hits i was dying from physical attacks) same was without accrobatics while having 92% evasion rating

[wet mango]

1/12 of hits will hit you, and they will do a lot of dmg if you have 0 armour

What exactly are you asking/expecting to happen?

You also can't evade AoE hits (without Acro)

I've tried accrobatics (it doesnt garantee u evasion from hits i was dying from physical attacks)
Correct, it makes it possible to evade AoE hits. That's why it says "you can evade" not "you evade"

[dense slate]

at least not being oneshoted hero

[viral crag]

why evasion doesn't work in this game as supposed to work
What way do you expect it to work? Genuine question.

[wet mango]

how is that relevant to evasion?

[viral crag]

Imagine you are a master acrobat and fighter IRL, that dodges perfectly 99% of the time but wears zero armor. Just cloth.

When that one time out of 100 happens where you get cut, how well does that go for you?

[dense slate]

i was playing with energy shield (up to 500-600) and still was oneshotted target

[wet mango]

say more about what's one shotting you

boss slams? rares? white mobs?

on death effects?

[viral crag]

To be fair though, you're talking about running around T15 maps with only 500 more life pool* than I have at 55 in the campaign as well 😅

[wet mango]

2500 total pool is still not that much

I have 2k hp with 5k armour, and for ele hits I have sorc ward for another 2k on top

[dense slate]

and as i see only way to deal with it is to swap in armour - in exchange of evasion and attack. this maybe let me survive one hit which is ridiculous

[viral crag]

You just add something behind the evasion. You're going to take a hit sometimes, and you need to be able to survive that hit.

[dense slate]

signle white mob (map without critical damage boosters or attack booster)

[viral crag]

Evasion just makes that "sometimes" happen less often, gives you more time to recover.

[wet mango]

cloak of flames is helpful

or getting more life (difficult in current itemization state) or ES

[dense slate]

so that what i saw two max i've could find - up to 2.2k life with not that much suffer of other stats

[tall trail]

with heat proofing, assuming you have 25% damage reduction from armor and 75% fire reduction, does that mean you have effectively 80% fire resist?

[dense slate]

at least not instant death, just inconvinience that temporarly limits my actions

[viral crag]

You would like that, but the game demands more from you. Sometimes that hit that gets through will be a poke, and sometimes it is an attack that will annihilate you if you do not defend against it.

You are doing well with that for elemental attacks (as your resistances show), but your life/es/armor/block show that you're not preparing yourself for the physical hits that break through.

[dense slate]

buy the way i have crit chance 34% - but it fells like 7%

[wet mango]

not at all

[near timber]

what is the difference for bleeding application between increased chance to inflict bleeding and increased chance to inflict ailment?

[wet mango]

only 1/4 of your armour applies

and of course armour reduction depends on size of the hit

so against bigger fire hits it would reduce less

[dense slate]

i'm judging from what i see from my castoncrit abilities

[wet mango]

exact same

[wet mango]

ok but it doesn't cast everytime you crit

it builds up energy right

and energy depends on the mob

[tall trail]

is the damage of the hit before or after base fire resist do you know

[wet mango]

are you doing a lot of damage with your crits?

[near timber]

but you cant see the difference in the skill? like increased chance for ailment doesnt increase bleeding chance

[wet mango]

what specific example are you talking about

[wet mango]

after fire resist

same effect as having all your armour apply to all the hit (even better if you have > 75 fire res)

[dense slate]

331% crit damage bonus - is that a lot?

[wet mango]

i mean the actual damage

not your bonus crit dmg stat

like if you are using a fast hitting skill with small dmg

[near timber]

nvm it works

[wet mango]

it will not build cast on crit very fast

or at all

[dense slate]

so it basicaly sounds wrong from what it is actually is triggered of?

i have to stack enough energy on target but not just make a critical shot

cause that what i was expecting from it's name (:

[old aurora]

does anyone know a better way to get incinerate to a higher output for mapping?

[wet mango]

what do you mean

it is not "you crit > you cast"

I mean it explains it fairly directly in the skill description

(which generally you should read and not jsut go by skill name)

[viral crag]

Sadly "Cast after you have crit just enough times for this gem to be happy and proc" didn't roll off the tongue quite the same 😅

[frosty arrow]

would additives to attack damage, like from iron rings for example add to minions?

[sterile stone]

not sure if the skill is intended as main dps

[viral crag]

Unless something tells you otherwise (the skill or the item), minions don't get your stats.

[rapid star]

What nodes as a sorc should I get if I want to level using Ice strike? should I just path twards monk?
or get the elemental damage on sorc side and path twards Druid (str/int side)

[dry haven]

does this buff stack if multiple people wear it/

[viral crag]

You want to be pure frost? There's some frost immediately to the left as you travel up, and plenty of spell/frost as you travel straight to the top.

[viscid hollow]

Can you stack Infernal Cry and Seismic Cry?

[rapid star]

For leveling yes, the whole Idea is getting stormweaver, and make evey Ice hit also shock lol

[viral crag]

Now I'm wondering if "Ice Strike" is a melee skill that I'm too ranged to recognize 😅

[rapid star]

it's is a staff skill lol

[viral crag]

Ah, that's tougher then since you're not as excited about spell stuff.

Honestly though, if you're focused on elemental it still looks like up is a play. Not a lot of elemental mods on the melee side.

[rapid star]

Yeah going melee is mostly required to go crit

I'm not agains going spell either, i was just having hard time leveling as spark on the ghost couple bosses lol

[viral crag]

Yeah... spark mostly kicks off with archmage, needs quite a few supporting spells before that.

For what you're talking about though, and I'm definitely not a melee player, but I can still see you going up and some to the right.

Some frost and plenty of crit going towards 2 or so.

The stuff straight up for frost also doesn't even mention spells, so worth keeping an eye on.

[rapid star]

yeah, but if I choose to go spell for confy, what would be you suggestion?

[viral crag]

Confy?

[rapid star]

confortable game play lol

[viral crag]

Oh, comfy 😅

I pivoted to chaos, but my first build was pure frost and it was pretty comfy (especially with the 1ex unique staff, but not required)

Early on it's freezing shards, then frost bolts and novas, then you get to cold snap and you just start freezing->deleting stuff.

[old aurora]

just trying to see what can really be done with it and how high it can go

[rapid star]

sorry english is not my main language lol

[viral crag]

No worries, was just confused 👍

[upbeat ivy]

any witch players here?

[rapid star]

I'll try out the spells! since I alread leveled a monk, so a change o fpace would be nice xD

[upbeat ivy]

which maxroll engame build is best to follow (i have around a 90-100 ex budget)

(infernalist ofc)

[sterile stone]

arsonist is visual cancer, you need to build around doryani for storm mage, sniper basically gas arrow build, like frost the most since they freeze monster makes mapping slightly safer

if you doesnt already have infernalist/starting minion, wait until they fix minion blocking, its very very very annoying

[dawn condor]

didn't aggravate shit i take it

[slim turret]

So there is a bossing version vs a mapping build
So what 2 are they? im confused by what you mean

[neat bison]

Yeah I wish firewall didn’t literally burn your eyes

lmao

[upbeat ivy]

whats a good alternative to the ventors gamble ring??

[mystic shard]

ive heard chaos innoculation stops bleeding somehow, how?

Or that it puts it towards ur ES at least.

[upbeat ivy]

my budget is around 100ex so idk if i can even scratch the surface of these builds

[neat bison]

You can’t be bled unless you take Life dmg so you are “immune” because you’d die anyway

One confusion point could be that corrupted blood is not bleeding

[mystic shard]

hmmm right

[dawn condor]

es doesn't take bleed damage

another reason why bleed is fucking garabage

but hey it can aggravate

[mystic shard]

ok so ur safe from blled completely with CI

great

[supple jay]

does seismic cry buff totem slam attacks?

[lethal nest]

Im a newb here just started two days ago after seeing how casual this game is. Right now I'm trying to build a warrior class with fire spells, skills, and passives. Kind of like a magic swordsman any advice?

[viscid hollow]

Does the Stun window end when the stagger bar drops to 0 or the enemy animation ends for the means of counting damage increase versus heavy stunned targets?

I play Chronomancer with time freeze and I don't know how to test this properly

[normal pumice]

You being new I'd say be experimental, try skills, respec often if needed and keep defenses in mind.

[orchid acorn]

Can you dual hand scepters?

[neat bison]

I don’t think so, even though they mentioned it before release

[orchid acorn]

Best advice is the one Sseth gave... experiment and try different things, then... When you hit a brick wall and can't progress any further, pick one of the meta builds and follow it (If you pay attention you can learn why they are made that way and how to make your own build too)

[orchid acorn]

They mentiones they would be dual wieldeable?

[neat bison]

In some interview, it probably got removed for being too strong

For minions

[orchid acorn]

I see, I guess that shows that spirit should be removed and let us use mana instead

Thanks for the info

[lethal nest]

@normal pumice @orchid acorn ok thanks i will let you know when i hit the wall

[neat bison]

Spirit is fine IMO, they just need to sort out the values

[random ridge]

honestly, with a low budget i would 100% just max snipers, blink, it can run T15 pretty easy and lets you save up for a more expensive build. its NOT the strongest of all your options. but its... umm.. idk how to word this... like "cost" to "power" ratio. VERY VERY cheap and gets you pretty far, getting a cheap ghostwrithe, stacking ES, stacking Sniper damage and spirit will actually do ALOT. ive personally run it and its 100% a good way to save up moneys for higher tier builds.

[vocal pine]

whats the best/ most cost efficient 3rd player support to add to a duo of a gemling and a magic find curseweaver?

[orchid acorn]

I have a warrior that raises the dead and deal chaos damage... I am in T14, so it's enough for me

[vocal pine]

i was thinking of making a chrono bot but im assuming curses dont stack right?

[orchid acorn]

I would much rather to have only HP and MP, instead of HP, MP and Spirit, but I'll eat what they serve

[lethal nest]

@orchid acorn whats t14?

[upbeat ivy]

oh i started getting the frost build

should i swap?

i only spent 10ex so can resell

[orchid acorn]

When you finish the game, you'll get some kind of instance missions... there are 18 tiers of them

1 being the easiest, and 18 being the hardest

[lethal nest]

do you get good items? @orchid acorn

[upbeat ivy]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/skeletal-sniper-infernalist-build-guide

just to clear up this is the build you mean right?

[random ridge]

im not sure 100% what you have already. but i got give you a ghostwrithe free and honestly "snipers" uses the same(ish) passive layout most summoner builds do. so its an easy switch later

so tbh thats 100x more advanced than i would go. but you can 100% do that.

[upbeat ivy]

wait you can give me a ghostwrithe?

[orchid acorn]

I think I started getting good items well after the entire campaign. I might have been like lvl 70 or so, before that I just used whatever was a slight upgrade from the floor

[upbeat ivy]

do you not want me to pay you?

[random ridge]

nah its fine. i got piles of them

[upbeat ivy]

okay i will make this build

[upbeat ivy]

ahh amazing whats your character name?

[random ridge]

Pseudoll - add me.

so the build we used to max to t15, was just snipers, malice, a curse, blink, 2 clerics

[upbeat ivy]

what kind of curse?

[random ridge]

it got us to T15 with heavy mods, no flamewall, no raging spirits, nothing like that... but you can 100% add those in

umm the red one lol... i forget its name, reduceds armour

[lethal nest]

is there a way for me to heal from damage i deal from spells?

[upbeat ivy]

flammability

[terse escarp]

are there any other attribute stacking weapon besides caged god staff?

[random ridge]

flame is for flamewall builds, we never used it. but you 100% can

we went for 2 buttons to play. so it was blink + weapon switch only

[upbeat ivy]

weapon switch?

[random ridge]

vulnerability - curse

[upbeat ivy]

why weapon switch?

[random ridge]

yeah so if you weapon switch - minions leave... then you blink.... weapon switch back - minions appear. its like teleporting minions

[upbeat ivy]

o

i see

[random ridge]

so you just teleport around the map summoning snipers to 1 shot the mobs and its fast clears with 2 buttons, till you get 5 divine type deal and then build an end game build

[upbeat ivy]

okay ill take a look

im new so

its a little confusing to me

LMAO

[random ridge]

there is youtube videos on it, might be easier to "see" it in action to get it

[sacred sparrow]

So I'm trying to understand this weird interaction in the weird autobomber for barrier invocation.

Basically; Pyromantic Pact or whatever the name deals damage equal to ES and Life when you reach max infernal flame.

Spend your mana's worth of Mana and it deals 100% of your total hit points basically to you.

But it's fire damage so your fire resistance helps. Have 75%? You take 25% of the EHP

[random ridge]

i wish they wouldnt put "auto" in those build names.. .they arent.

[orchid acorn]

Sounds fun... I might try it

[sacred sparrow]

That specific build you need to hold down health potion and the invocation.

[upbeat ivy]

do you have a link?

[random ridge]

yeah

[sacred sparrow]

If I'm figuring it out correctly.

[random ridge]

ah nah i dont personally,

[sacred sparrow]

But I don't want to do it. I just want to understand how much life per second I need to sustain to figure that out.

[random ridge]

yeah, if you cant find a video explaining it, try looking up fireflower builds (i think thats the name of the amulet), it does the same thing

they usually use the gloves to heal, you shouldnt need any lps

[fervent briar]

has anyone tried to build a quarterstaff titan that doesnt fall over

[upbeat ivy]

whats the blink skill?

[sacred sparrow]

Which gloves?

[random ridge]

blink, high level in the sorc tree i think

[upbeat ivy]

i couldnt find it

[fervent briar]

starting to thinkt hey put all the -attack speed multipliers down there so you wouldnt use quarterstaffs on warrior

[random ridge]

spirit

[upbeat ivy]

OH SPIRIT

kk

[sacred sparrow]

Sorry the reason I'm bringing it up is because I was going to try to convert the life flask instead into life per second.

[upbeat ivy]

fuck its t14

i dont have a t14 spirit gm rn

[random ridge]

i have a spare 17 you can have

[sacred sparrow]

144 life/sec w/o Breach Rings and Body slot.

[upbeat ivy]

dont think i am high enough lvl

im lvl 62

[random ridge]

oh i got a 14, does that get it?

[upbeat ivy]

yeah

[random ridge]

i dont have much in way of low level sorry

[upbeat ivy]

how much do you want?

[random ridge]

free

[upbeat ivy]

you sure?

[random ridge]

im running hax bs auto win build on blood mage... items arent a thing to me

[upbeat ivy]

lmao im ty

[random ridge]

atleast until they remove my build

[upbeat ivy]

sorry whats this worth

i listed it with all my other uniques at 1ex but

got a few messages rlly quick

[daring berry]

Anyone good with the CWDT infernalist builds? I'm very close to it working, but still need to figure out why my regen can't keep up with my casts

[sinful sedge]

Oh sh**
As a noob as I am, I recycled those kind of brown items 😅 I didn’t knew we could sell them

[random ridge]

they typically, 1ex. but there is a few that can be up to 1divine

[sinful sedge]

One was giving 100 spirits… start understanding my huge mistake now I’m in act 2

[random ridge]

+3 minion skills on the pickaxe is a good one to sell.

[upbeat ivy]

@random ridge how much spirit do i need for your build

[random ridge]

my build? or your build? its 60 for blink then X-spirit for minions, that part is up to you

[upbeat ivy]

what would you recommend though?

got 213 rn

[tidal copper]

Uniques are unique
Many of them are bad but you should definitely price keep them and price check them at least once

[upbeat ivy]

seems quite low?

[random ridge]

i would guess... 200? is fine

2 clerics, 1 storm mage, X snipers, blink

whats that cost. try for 8-12 snipers.

the more levels you get in minion skills the cheaper they become. so try for that

[sinful sedge]

Thanks ILori 🙏🏻
Remember that rob not strong enough 2 days ago when I ask you advice ?!

Someone gave me ⚡️runs yesterday, just boosted it by 300dps 😂🙏🏻

[random ridge]

that one?

[upbeat ivy]

uhhh

lmao?

[random ridge]

ok so maybe drop the mage while you level

[sterile stone]

you dont want blink

[random ridge]

get some more spirit, sceptre + amulet + helm is easy spirit

[lethal nest]

how do i build defense against magic and element attacks?

[upbeat ivy]

i can run this with no blink?

[random ridge]

to slow with no blink imo, but you can

[tidal copper]

Magic DMG?!

[lethal nest]

yeah

[sterile stone]

if you already have access to arsonist they can steam roll campaign really easily

[upbeat ivy]

you talking to me?

[sterile stone]

yes

[upbeat ivy]

im making a build for mapping

im lvl 62

90 ex budget

trying to make a build to map

[lethal nest]

@upbeat ivy whats an ex budget?

[random ridge]

yeah we did 60-90, T15 maps on like 10ex cost using it. its super fast, super easy. then build into end game

[sterile stone]

sniper are solid choice if you enjoy the playstyle which imo not really minony

[tidal copper]

Serious answer, depending on the class you get elemental resistance one way or another
Magic DMG doesn't exist
On a less serious answer
||Well you see if you wear 3 pieces of armour with magic resistance as the biggest stat you'll start glowing blue and get extra magic resistance ||

[sterile stone]

also, why would minion player use blink arent that just basically making your minion despawn

and takes so much spirit

[random ridge]

you teleport them with you

1 shot mobs

blink to next

insta clear speed

[lethal nest]

oh ok thanks

[sterile stone]

ah you meant wep swapping while blinking

[upbeat ivy]

how long did it take you to get to a better build pseudo?

[random ridge]

i mean, that all depends on drops tbh

but you can add anything you want to that build as you get more spirit, its nice cause the stronger gear you find, the more you add in, then you get stronger until you have 5-10 divine, then you change build to whatever you like

or just bloodmage temporalis till they remove it

[dense slate]

does someone have build or advice how to keep deadeye alive and damagable?

budget up to 30-50 divs

[random ridge]

confused how its not staying a live?

[dense slate]

keep being oneshoted

[slim spoke]

does anyone know if +1 totem effects stack with ancestral bond? or is it just not owrth getting those nodes if you take ancestral bond?

[random ridge]

oh youll get that with any char really.

unless you mean by a trash mob?

[dense slate]

and this also

[random ridge]

oh sounds like a gear check? im not sure tbh

more EX, more Life, more life steal ?

[dense slate]

im stuck on lvl 92

[dense slate]

oneshoted

[dawn condor]

you don't need ci for bleeding btw

[random ridge]

yeah idk, im going to "guess" gameplay style, gear check, stat check etc. something like that. if you got to 92 and run T15-16 maps with 30-50d spare. i assume you decent player. so you prob know all the normal stuff to do

[dawn condor]

bleed doesn't ignore es in general I probably should've said that

[snow lake]

will grenades benefit from this as they can only be fired from a crossbow or no

[dawn condor]

you know damn well I'm only reading the red text

like huh????

[mystic shard]

about 1-3 ex honestly, maybe 5 if its got +10 to all elemental resists

[dawn condor]

answer is yes

cause a crossbow is two handed weapon

[still rock]

@drifting cedar did you happen to path your phys spell warbringer

im just finishing my pathing was curious how you went

[faint dust]

ok, i started making a build and was hoping the poe hive could help me improve it, the goal is to get max move speed

so far im atleast matching temporalis, blink spam by running around

[random ridge]

in what world does move speed match temporalis?

im like 10-30 second T16 juiced map clears....

[faint dust]

basicly i got 80% block, the ghoast march boosts and the node that gives you 1% move speed on every block. stand in a hord. use ghost march to get out of the hord when you need. i got upto 750% move speed and nearly crashed

[random ridge]

LOL

ok that might do it

but talk to me when you get the "did crash" level of temporalis 😛

[faint dust]

=_= idk the game crashes when boot it 90% of the time does that count?

[random ridge]

idk whats a bigger draw back to the build... burning ground or losing where i left my cursor before the map started.

[faint dust]

anyway, any idea on how i can improve that build?

[random ridge]

more speed one? no idea. never even looked at one before.

[faint dust]

when i role i tp btw, without blink. its funny

[random ridge]

sell everything and buy temporalis ?

[faint dust]

i have 2 exalts to my name

[random ridge]

well if you get the build youll get a pile of divines after. so that might help

[faint dust]

i was thinking of those boost that add fire whereever you walk. sprit around and cover the whole map in fire

[random ridge]

i would be worried about if the fire even loads in once you leave the area?

[upbeat ivy]

if im buying a rattling sceptre

[faint dust]

it should do? idk tho lol

[upbeat ivy]

does it matter what level the skele warriors aerw?

are*

[random ridge]

does it matter ? yes... does it matter so much you should take a bad scepter for them? no

[neat bison]

They’ll have higher stats

Which can be nice but they’re just utility minions so it’s not a massive deal

[random ridge]

is the skele for off hand blink? you prob want malice on main build

[faint dust]

so no way to add more speed? keep the buff longer or deal damage based on speed?

[upbeat ivy]

1 or 2

[random ridge]

so you would spirit check in the situation, does the 33 more spirit give you X amount more DPS

[neat bison]

If you don’t need the spirit then right, yeah

[random ridge]

you can check minion dps on the gem screen, the little arrow next to the skill and just what one adds more. more minion = more dps, or more dps = more dps....more dps.

[neat bison]

Thing is the dps is per minion

[random ridge]

im going to assume scepter 2 tho due to +1 more minion levels

[neat bison]

So you have to factor in how many u would get with both Sceptres

[random ridge]

yeah thats easy math on a calc tho

[neat bison]

Indeed

[random ridge]

3x X or 4x X

but at your level also, spend the few exalted and get the +4 minion levels scpetre with some + damage or + crit chance on it.

idk what they worth atm

[neat bison]

+4 with no spirit is probably not too expensive

[random ridge]

this hurts my feelings... got it like that.

[distant tendon]

what type of quarterstaff do i want like name for a ice/electric monk build

Crackling or ice or whatever

[random ridge]

does the monk stack str like the rauder does?

why is ice strike the popular build? i tried both and the electric build was so much nicer to play

[rain dust]

How do you set up defenses for a deadeye?
I'm going to go evasion but unsure how much health i need or what kind of life recovery would work.

[neat bison]

Uh evasion/es is probably ideal

[random ridge]

im going to guess you dodge everything and when you dont.. you die? and thats just how it works. there isnt a "fix" to it?

[lethal robin]

does this means that now all fire damage i do even from spells now do cold damage?

[atomic halo]

yes

[faint dust]

no

its all cold damage

[lethal robin]

so yes

[faint dust]

all fire is turned into cold damage

[lethal robin]

does that also contribute to freeze

[faint dust]

yes

[lethal robin]

ai all my qeustions has been answerd ty all

[thorny token]

as extra fire isnt converted if you have any of that

[lethal robin]

ooh good to know

[stuck storm]

hi, someone can send good minion build with progression?

[pearl sluice]

do gas cloud explosions deal damage based on the hit that ignites the target or the base attack damage?

[faint dust]

also a funny interaction. theres a node that says "75% of phy damage turns to fire damage, you deal no non fire damage" works sooo bad with those gloves

[thorny token]

well thats for same reason why as extra fire isnt converted

[lethal robin]

thank god i am a caster who deals no phycical damage xD

[thorny token]

as the conversion happens in 1 step so you cant convert something that was already converted

[lethal robin]

[thorny token]

just based on what is written on the cloud, the hit that triggers them do not matters

[faint dust]

ok im working on a life build and would like someone to see if i can get any more life outside of jewels. i got almost 7k hp. and anywhere from 3800 regen per second to 9100 per second. i would like more hp and more regen

[random ridge]

are you a bloodmage?

[faint dust]

warrior 🤣

[random ridge]

then you could reroll a bloodmage and get more life

[faint dust]

more max life? or is it just the over cap thing

[random ridge]

yeah her overcap

i think mine is like 13k running around.

[faint dust]

yea i need max life to scale off the "regen % of max life" stuff

the end goal is i wanna chill in the gold lava

[static plinth]

There's Couture of Crimson

For max+leech

[pearl sluice]

@thorny token so just 1xx% of attack damage witch is added damage from bow, quiever, rings, and such?

[static plinth]

If you dont have it get Font of Blood

[pearl sluice]

and the physical part of that converted to fire

[faint dust]

i got koams heart for 1000 life. xophs blood for 18% more life, bunch of life on my other gear and Veil of the Night Martyr for 50% more life

[pearl sluice]

so "theoretically speaking" poison cloud explosions are just extra fire aoe attacks

[static plinth]

Get a corrupted Kaom's with 1200 life and a corrupted Veil of The Night for 60% inc

Veil should be cheap, idk about Kaom's

[faint dust]

i tried getting the 5 slot armor with "5% more life for every soul core" and put the 2% more life soul cores in but i ended up with like 900 less hp

[atomic halo]

erm it's increased life not more

[faint dust]

yea theres a veil of the night at 61% on the trade site, like 3 divine. i cant afford that lol

[static plinth]

Also if you want to stand in the lava, you should ditch Veil, pretty sure its a fire DoT

[atomic halo]

also morior invictus is lacking the huge downside kaom's comes with, so it might still be better

[random ridge]

i have a spare on of those laying around

[static plinth]

Kaom's means no Vitality

[faint dust]

vitality?

[thorny token]

yes

[static plinth]

Support gem for spirit skills

30% inc life regeneration rate

[thorny token]

it works like regular bow attack

that converts to fire

[faint dust]

oh the 1% of max life regen thing? i got that working with koams

[pearl sluice]

this is strange, i would asume since there is so few %life sources a big %life source like that wuld be better then flat life. After all you get a huge load of flat life from str and other items.

[atomic halo]

kaom's has a big downside

morior does not

[faint dust]

i got enough increased % life things that getting the 1k from koams is just a ton better then anything morior does

[atomic halo]

so kaom's is allowed to be better at what it does, otherwise morior would be way op or kaom's would be way underpowered

[random ridge]

ima throw some 2% soul cores in it for the lols

[faint dust]

900 less hp and like 1200 less regen per second

[pearl sluice]

but i would say no spirit realy does lock you out of some stuff.

[faint dust]

nothing that effect regen or max hp tho

[vast egret]

if i have 1k mana for example does this apply a flat 30% spell damage boost to whatever spell damage i have right now or not?

[real hornet]

maximum mana doesn't care what your mana is at

[vast egret]

yes i mean if my maximum mana is 1000

[real hornet]

increases are additive with other increases
more is multiplicative with other modifiers

[atomic halo]

you get 30% increased spell damage

[random ridge]

the answer is "yes"

[vast egret]

thank

[real hornet]

I wanted to answer anything but yes though

[faint dust]

so other then the 2% life jewels any ideas? right now im at my cap without shilling out 2div for like 100 hp each. theres those and the 3% life node that i can put on my amulet. if i get 800 ex worht of distiled emotions.

[random ridge]

what does 2% give you ?

[real hornet]

for poe2, I have discovered that dead or cc'd enemies is all that matters because the tank stats you can get in poe2 are severely lacking compared to poe1

[random ridge]

i made a moorior with 28%

[faint dust]

its gonna be like 2% of base before the 18 from amulet and 50% from helment so like 60 hp

[random ridge]

you could try that? idk what your body is atm

[faint dust]

mines got 35%, koans still got more life added

[random ridge]

ah ok

yeah pass, sounds like you close to cap

[faint dust]

yea nearly. i think the regen % of max life stuff is why they dont want to let you have alot of life myself. for me if i dont get one shot i dont die ever

regen my whole life passivly in less then a second

i do wanna try the "regen 5% of missing life before getting hit" amulet to see how well that works

[atomic halo]

down to 5% lol

[faint dust]

i do gotta say tho. i got no spirit, no element res at all and still not even close to the max es ive seen. less then half even

[atomic halo]

defiance was 35% on poe1 release

nerfed to 20%

and now 5%

[static plinth]

Isnt based off max in 1 too

Instead of missing

[faint dust]

in this 5% would be 350 hp assuming nearly 0 hp. so almost all hits would just be negated. some would outright heal me

that is untill anything with any element at all hits me. then i just get one shot

7k hp at once cos of a single ice patch

[calm lava]

I've got a build that's got about 400% globally increased damage through Chober Chaber and those block nodes that give +1% damage per 1% block. Any fun ideas for ways to use both maces + magic at the same time?

[faint dust]

damg thats a good amount of globle. whats chober chaber?

[calm lava]

Unique two-handed mace with "Increases and Reductions to Minion Damage also affect you" (i.e. Spiritual Aid from PoE 1)

[faint dust]

i thought that hammer made things that effect you effect your minions. thats nuts

[calm lava]

It's only damage. It certainly works, I can use Hammer of the Gods and Firestorm and they both benefit from it. Just looking for a way to use both somehow

[atomic halo]

it would be nuts the other way around

[faint dust]

i was gonna do a shout spam build but couldnt get the damage to be enough, might work with that?

[calm lava]

Hmmm would that require Warbringer for the 0 cooldown shouts?

[faint dust]

i had my shout down to a 0.14 second attack speed with 0 coold down, doing 1300 damage per. with like 5000 dps of courrpted blood on top

[calm lava]

Oh -- that sounds fun! Lemme look at the nodes...

[faint dust]

not needed no, you can use the one that resets its cool down it it doesnt hit a heavy stunned target. and slot the pin gem in. that makes the thing unable to stun things. cc pins them and you have zero cool down

also got my shout to be 7.3 m so thats fun lol

[calm lava]

Oh whoaaaa good tech! Lemme try that!

[faint dust]

let meh know how it goes

[quasi stratus]

Question, for Morior Invictus do I go Rarity/Spirit or Mana/Spirit?

[lone wave]

If rarity is ever an option for a spot you don't go with anythign other than that

[supple goblet]

hi i need help thinking out my weapon for my monk. can someone help me?

im the standard ice/lightning monk but i use tempest flurry instead of ice strike because dopamine. still freezing up the screen so np there. i want to know if i should go pure ele weapon, or a high phys wep. both would have cold dmg

[sinful spoke]

@still rock i was reading warbringer’s ascension, turtle charm doesnt work with shield charge 🥲 shield is considered raised in shield charge and turtle charm only works when shield is not raised

[still rock]

rip

[sinful spoke]

I should still go titan right?

[still rock]

yeah titans better then

imo

whats new

[sinful spoke]

Im just leveling a warrior, in act 2 now😂

[still rock]

better single target with the stun stuff

as well

[sinful spoke]

Ngl im kinda confused with warrior tree, im running a pillar build to level, will probably swap over once i can equip temporalis

Do i even bother with block chance?

[still rock]

if youre leveling pillar just go beef and brute strength

path to your node wheels but just take str but also dex and int as needed, go tempest flurry

dont actually take anything but attributes

[hasty vale]

Anyone know if there's a way of getting reliable shock when using 'Avatar of fire' keystone without using Three Dragons helm or Stormweaver ascendancy?

[sinful spoke]

Yeah thats the leveling plan, but for after

[still rock]

oh yeah

[sinful spoke]

I dont have to bother with block chance right? Since shield is raised?

[still rock]

yeah

worthless

[sinful spoke]

Im thinking to go pure str and hp stack, so i wanna avoid herald of ice

Would i focus on heavy stun, and use that explode on heavy stun support?

[still rock]

no, since you dont be dealing lightning those are the only ways im aware of

[kind crest]

Are gloves with increased attack speed or life on hit better for a merc?

That is the main difference

[still rock]

im not sure i havent played much with shockwaves but its worth a shot if you dont wanna do shatter

impact shockwave is waht i assume youre referring to

[astral sable]

are block chance rubies pretty expensive? I don't see any on trade site

[sinful spoke]

I dont rmb the name 🫣 i will check tmr

[thorny token]

can you insta heavy stun regular mobs? as i was wondering about that support as well

[hasty vale]

Do you reckon shock is a necessary damage boost for most builds? I'm wanting to do a really high magnitude ignite build using HoW and wondering whether it's worth not converting the flat lightning damage

[thorny token]

as it sounded kinda op with splash mace if you could

[still rock]

maybe as titan with crushing blows

dunno

im playing warrior spell builds cause im annoying

[rotund grove]

new player here following a lightning merc build but its telling me i cant use the stormcaller arrow ability? what do i do

[thorny token]

well crushing blows still require 2 hits right

idk

[slim spoke]

So, i'm think about do a crit based mace invoker, eventually trying to get olrovasara and using armour breaker for cracked out attack speed, shocks and crits. Any thoughts?

[still rock]

i think shield charge hits once and then explodes tho if i understand it correctly

as long as you can shockwave the collided mobs

it sounds decent

assuming the radius is affected by attack aoe

[thorny token]

hmm looks like you can insta heavy stun even

with crushing, looking at some ppl using it

[sinful spoke]

🫡time to take stun and aoe from tree

I will look into it

[midnight bolt]

does anyone know approximate leech resistance of high tier maps and pinnacle bosses?

[lone wave]

anybody been rocking one of these with a scepter?

[distant tendon]

anyone have a super stronge warrior build?

[odd osprey]

anyone got a howa they wanna sell for 2 div?

I'm feinin

[lone wave]

For tri element Sorc, how far would you power through with these before replacing them with some yellow?

[sinful sedge]

Hi guys

Do you think this worth much ?
Thanks

I did mistake to recycle other unique before now I prefer asking 😂

[old rune]

im playing infernalist and I have altered flesh. Would +2% max fire res be worth if I'm also losing 5% chaos res? (72%->67%)

[solid belfry]

Does AoE nodes affect shockwave totem in warrior tree?

[sharp vortex]

nothing pretty sure

[thorny token]

they should yes, totems use your stats

so stuff like aoe with attacks will work

[solid belfry]

Ty

Doing my first SSF as warbringer. So seeing how totem I can totem this lol

[midnight bolt]

does CoC proc from itself? from my gameplay it looks like it does, wanted to confirm. I wanna try to run 2 CoC setups with frost wall in one comet in other so they loop each other, will it work?
