[static plinth]

Well, it may proc after 1.35 billion seconds

[outer jackal]

Hey guys are there any other skills that synergize like gas clouds and fire... got my wife to play and want to build a couple builds that work well together

[solar walrus]

scepters offer party buffs

are there any spells that scale with physical damage / attack damage

[daring bobcat]

attacks specifically say it does not apply to spells so idk

[fringe topaz]

anyone running the Tsukuyomu CWDT ice comet build? i have some questions

[lunar surge]

If I’m trying to make staggering palm whirling assault work. What ascendancy would you recommend. I got a lot of classes high lvl

[humble wave]

I'm in tier 7, my damage seems fine ( i kill packs in 1-2 seconds ) but sometimes I straight up get oneshot

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1315018772095959071/1327045181228187711/image.png?ex=67824b62&is=6780f9e2&hm=821b136ca3fd273850f5244b4c8f1c976af097a5b10631290cf18fddf491e7c0&=&format=webp&quality=lossless&width=1202&height=676

this isn't THAT recent, I have better resists now, 1700 HP and 1K ES that goes up to 2K using the Grim Feast (?) spirit gem

[undone peak]

you need to cap your fire and lightning resistance

and you need chaos resistance

t7 will one shot you without capped elemental resistances and with 0% chaos

[humble wave]

I've gotten one shot by autos too, though. like 3 mobs hit me during a ritual at the same time

and i went 100-0 instantly

[undone peak]

ritual is a lot of chaos dmg

[humble wave]

do mobs do chaos damage with slaps though?

[undone peak]

you're taking 4x as much chaos dmg as you could be

[humble wave]

i got slapped by 2 or 3 at the exact same time

and boom dead

it wasn t even a 7 actually

think it was a rare 5

[undone peak]

you're taking 2.88x as much lightning dmg as u could be

[thin basin]

cast on chill when

[undone peak]

merc is imo the weakest class defensively

u can't realistically get to acrobatics

u can't realistically reach sorc ES nodes

armour is bad

sorc ward is pretty bad

idk how to live as merc lol

unless its gemling stat stacker build which is expensive

[plucky nova]

i am currently building (or trying to xD) my gemling mercenary , already have HoWA , i noticed that i like the electricity part more than adding ice or fire to the build, like i took off herald of ice and added herald of thunder.
do anyone knows any build focusing on the lightning only part of HoWA with Pillar of caged?
i am kinda new, first time lvl 80, so any help will be appreciated.

[humble wave]

I've been looking at this build for inspiration for Lightning Merc

it's Witch Hunter though

[plucky nova]

thanks, but using monk skills tho

its the skills which i am having issues with tbh

in the tree, i am kinda ok i guess, tried to read them all.
the skills are some times have hidden mechanics or more like behind the scene connections with each other.
i guess since i didnt start as a monk, i am less familiar with the mechanics of each one

[tidal copper]

Have you watched the showcase clips? That should be pretty ok

[plucky nova]

would you mind sending me a link? or location?
It will probably help :3

[tidal copper]

I mean when you go pick the skill if you click it a small video plays to explain the main functions
You probably have already seen them

[plucky nova]

oh ye

[junior swan]

hello there, any1 got a good howa invoker build? want to check a few choices

[sage gyro]

Embrace the Darkness on monk says +5 to maximum darkness per level, is that the level of my character?

[cyan plinth]

Im trying to use this cast on block skill but it wont let me put any skill gems into it, saying "you have no empty sockets"

Its definitley not cause im out of capacity, but i cant slot a skill gem or support gem into it

[dawn spire]

You can only slot spells into it. Try that and then activate it

[cyan plinth]

I tried a few spells and it didnt work

[sturdy elbow]

Hi, I'm kind of a newbie, and I tried to play with a friend today. I'm an ice strike monk and he's running a corpsewalker build, and I was shattering the corpses he needed for doing damage, so it didn't really work.

My question is, if you were to assemble a group of maybe 4 characters to play together (and on a given day we might have some combation of 2 or 3 of them, and occasionally all 4), what builds would you choose for the group that would have synergy rather than anti-syngery?

Preferably all of them could also solo when no one else is around.

[vivid crown]

What support gems do i equip on malice?

[dawn spire]

Can you screenshot the item that's granting cast on block?

[undone peak]

I want a svalinn in SSF so bad lol

[dawn spire]

Lightning rod/orb of storms deadeye (shock)
Cold spell chronomancer (slow/chill/freeze/time freeze)
Skeletal reaver warbringer (minions/big buffs)
Hammer of the gods chronomancer (another time freeze, big boss damage)

[sturdy elbow]

thanks!

[dawn spire]

Can you hover over cast on block and ss that pls?

[cyan plinth]

Ah, there we go, cast on block is over my INT, thank you

[simple beacon]

@waxen ice do you play solo or do you play in groups

wrong chat

[lusty aspen]

Is armor actually bugged or was it intended? The reason I'm asking is if it's bugged then I'll keep those related gear, but if it's intended then imma trash them.

[static plinth]

Worst case scenario i think they buff armour to the level of PoE1

[stoic iris]

I still don't understand whatever damage is 1-shotting me so often in t15.. meteors will do it

seems like spicy ground pudding

I am running protect me from harm and yeah, it's unclear what good the armour does

[ashen cargo]

Armor takes damage off of attacks. So it works great on weak incoming damage and not great from powerful boss attacks

[stoic iris]

I don't even know what category "ground stuff" or "area stuff" even falls into

like the meteor dude, guaranteed 1 shot on me

huge pack of runic spawn? not a problem

[ashen cargo]

How much Hp and Es you have?

[stoic iris]

1.5k/1.2k

might be too low

[ashen cargo]

That's your problem there

What tier of map are you on?

[vivid crown]

is there a way for me to quick search items with the same stats as things that i have in game? im pretty sure there is because the youtuber 'woolie' seems to be doing it and has like a built in sheet telling the items worth. how do i do that?

[stoic iris]

t15 easy

except for these occasional damage types

[ashen cargo]

Omg dude

Most people run 5,000 to 10,000 HP/ES for those maps

[dark vigil]

Hi guys

[ashen cargo]

I run T17s with my summoner witch with 9000 ES. I almost never die.

[distant tendon]

would this be an upgrade?

[dark vigil]

I’m doing Attri stack monk currently at strength 3xx-4xx-4xx

[stoic iris]

I'm going to need to figure out how to stack health/es even remotely close to that

[dark vigil]

I haven’t anoint amulet

[ashen cargo]

I would redo your gearing and node grid.

[stoic iris]

invoker monk seems like zero options

[ashen cargo]

You sould like a glass cannon

[dark vigil]

Should i get jack of all trades or polymethy??

[static plinth]

Make sure to pick up Spectral Ward

[stoic iris]

I mean, apart from these goofy damage types I wouldn't call my guy squishy at all

[static plinth]

Node that gives ES per EV on body armour

[dark vigil]

2% dmg per 5 of lowest attribute point (323) ~ 120% dmg bonus or + 10% all attribute?

[stoic iris]

but once in a while, zap dead out of nowhere

[ashen cargo]

You have 2500 HP/ES. You will be one shot by many things.

[stoic iris]

no?

[modern oak]

Wow, that is alot of every defence type.
But against meteor the only relevant defence would be Fire res. I think it does ~3k total dmg against 75% reduction in T15.

[ashen cargo]

So I on a regular basis will get hit for like 6000 damage to my energy shield and survive, but I need all of it.

[stoic iris]

yeah I dunno, if I were to take your analysis seriously I would be dying way more often, but I never do

it is really just meteor splash damage and occasional weird pudding/sparks/something

[ashen cargo]

Sub 5000 HP/ES builds are unplayable

Imho

You do what you want. I have over 100 Div in the bank and slam T17s all night. You just need to find something that works for you.

[stoic iris]

that also means no evasion possibility and armour doesn't mitigate, right?

apparently acrobatics is meant to help with these damage types, but it lowers my evasion too much I feel

[modern oak]

Yeah, for this particular case

[modern oak]

Yeah, then you would be praying to RNGsus if you get hit 🙂

If you can get your HP + ES > 3k i think you would be fine for 1 hit

But there is also a thing called CRIT for enemies xD

[neon kindle]

what's best for deadeye...crossbow or bow?

[little aspen]

Any guide for war I feel like giving up since he die so damn quick sunder is so slow, currently lvl 40 giant blood build

[neat bison]

Well with sunder you kind of just want to set up stun + armor break and then 1 shot them

[wet mango]

Acro evasion works, but armour does not

[fiery stone]

Omw to the 1mil dps club yall

[lament trail]

is this any good?

[tiny plaza]

anyone has a video of the banner working?

im curious to se then in action

[fervent briar]

does crushing blow brick boneshatter?

[heavy slate]

Does the 750% more shock chance on Ball Lightning get converted to freeze buildup from The Three Dragons unique helm?

[fervent briar]

not the way it reads i wouldnt think so

it doesnt say shock chance converted to freeze chance

wait i guess it does

shoot idk, thats new wording to me

[heavy slate]

It says lightning damage from hits gives freeze instead of shock

yeah I'm so torn as a long time poe1 player

it depends on if the 750% more applies to the hit of ball lightning

and not applied after

[fervent briar]

the 2nd line is whats confusing me

freeze buildup instead of shock chance

[heavy slate]

YUP

It's an order of operations problem I think

[fervent briar]

i dont even understand freeze build up fundamentally outside of just saying "freeze buildup duh"

[queen mountain]

What build type is good for someone with limited hand-eye coordination?

[heavy slate]

What I'm not sure of:

Hit > Shock > apply 750% more > convert to freeze
or Hit > shock > convert to freeze ..and the 750% doesn't apply

or rather Hit > never shocks, and the bonus doesn't get applied

[fervent briar]

well the fact that you do lightning damage will give you freeze buildup

[heavy slate]

Yeah but the dmg on ball lightning is low

[fervent briar]

ahh i see

[heavy slate]

so the 750% is kind of make or break on the skill

[fervent briar]

go put it on and throw one into a pack

[heavy slate]

I did, It freezes, but like...it would anyway eventually

granted I'm testing on a witch with chaos nodes before I try rolling sorc proper

didn't want to waste my time if it doesn't work

[fervent briar]

failing something is just part of poe building

[heavy slate]

took this into a level 40ish area and it's ...working?

but again I have no scaling on it

I'm wanting to stack it with lightning warp to get shocked ground

[fervent briar]

cant help you there. maybe deathbeam will be around tonight

[heavy slate]

yeah but leveling to 41 is a big time investment lol

just for something to not work

[fervent briar]

im like 9 titans in so far

[heavy slate]

I've asked in a couple places and no one seems to be sure

[viral crag]

Walk me through what we're thinking here? I'll try and read back

[fervent briar]

your time to shine, setup an experiment

[heavy slate]

Ball Lightning 750% more chance to shock, does it convert to freeze buildup from Three Dragons helm

so Ball Lightning would have 750% more freeze buildup

[humble wave]

Can Vaal Orb have negative effects ( apart from making the item unable to be changed ) ? Like destroy the item or lower numbers?

[fervent briar]

I doubt there will ever be a button click in poe that will be completely full proof of bad outcomes

other than weap/armour quality

[heavy slate]

they got rid of destroying the item in poe2. It can destroy in poe1

It can reroll mods though

[fervent briar]

it can reroll all of the tiers

[viral crag]

So this worked in PoE, with this exact setup. Three Dragons Mask and Ball Lightning.

[modern oak]

https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Corrupted#Corruption_outcomes

[heavy slate]

PoE1 Ball Lightning does not have the 750% More Chance to Shock line

[viral crag]

Getting there 😅

I should probably just type it all at once in the future.

[humble wave]

" Reroll up to three modifiers"

Does this mean it can turn +% Physical Damage into +Life on kill or that it rerolls the % of the first modifier?

[viral crag]

The only issue I've got is that the line here is

Lightning Damage from hits contributes to Freeze Buildup instead of Shock Chance
So I expect that what's going to happen is that Lightning Ball is going to hit, deal lightning damage, and it's going to contribute to freeze buildup without ever calculating shock chance.

Which would mean the effect of lightning ball isn't even included there.

[heavy slate]

That is my fear

[fervent briar]

looks pretty cool for a spell casting titan for ssf.

[modern oak]

I also wonder if bonuses from Passive Skill tree for Shock would apply to Freeze buildup

[viral crag]

Were it a conversion of the shock chance I would expect it to work, and if you can find something that converts the chance itself I expect it would be brought over.
Since it says the hit contributes to freeze instead, I expect no 😦

[drifting sail]

at what point do i start building for fubguns late gaame shock ranger rather than his level guide?

[grizzled pebble]

whats the thing that makes your health flask recover energy shield?

[modern oak]

Yes, that is negative (or might be positive for you) outcome

[drifting sail]

i nearing end of act 6 and am wondering when i transition because I have all my skill points maxed out that he has for the levelling guide

[grizzled pebble]

i heard it was a thing but is it a passive node or like from a unique item?

[fervent briar]

keystone

eternal youth i think

[heavy slate]

Yeah I am guessing the wording "Instead of" implies that it never shocks in the first place

[modern oak]

yeah, it would not shock, but bonuses might also not apply xD

[grizzled pebble]

thank you

[viral crag]

Yeah, I'm expecting out of the 3 it's this one.
It hits, then gets passed to the freeze buildup calculation as though it were frost damage

[heavy slate]

it's just..does that 750% more get built into the hit

or applied when you shock

because it's chance to shock

[viral crag]

As I understand hits, I wouldn't see any reason it would be included first.

[heavy slate]

so it must be on the hit

[viral crag]

It may be included as part of the data, but it doesn't mean it's like some calculation.

[heavy slate]

it's not shock effect which would apply after you hit

The wiki says "The chance to apply shock depends on the amount of pre-mitigation damage dealt relative to the monster's ailment threshold. It is a base of 25% chance to apply per 100% of ailment threshold the hit deals.[1] Critical strikes do not inherently always apply ailments, but they do indirectly affect the chance to apply ailments due to critical damage bonus affecting the damage dealt. "

I'm reading https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Ailment now

I still think you're correct, because of the wording "Instead of"

I'm just reading still

[viral crag]

Right, but it would also imply some 1:1 correlation between something like Freeze Buildup and Shock Chance.
One builds towards a threshold, the other is a calculated percentage.

I can imagine a world where the arguments get passed the way you're imagining to the functions, except for the fact that the two are incompatible in purpose.

I want this to work though, it does sound hilarious.

[heavy slate]

it sucks because it means something like doesn't do much either

(from maxroll planner as I just poke around)

[viral crag]

Yeah. imo you would have to have pretty much exactly "converts shock chance to <x>"

[heavy slate]

Yeah, definitely doesn't work that way and I dont know why it took this long to realize. If it did I'd never have less than like 7% freeze buildup on a hit

well I guess that isn't necessarily true

with ailment threshold

adding something like conduction doesn't seem to make it better

testing a freeze support now

[modern oak]

Yeah, more freeze buildup with lightning damage - that is probably how it will work

[tiny plaza]

how gem level change blasphemy

[wet mango]

No

[wet mango]

It doesn't

It says lightning damage now freezes instead

[heavy slate]

Yeah, we eventually came to the same conclusion. Sadly

[wet mango]

It still wouldn't. Conversions happen before all modifiers.

[fervent briar]

whats your glacial merc build

[viral crag]

Interesting, even when we're not talking about elemental damage?

[wet mango]

All conversion works before modifiers. This is explicitly called out in the conversion tooltip

[viral crag]

Only ever read about it with respect to elemental conversions, so I was unsure if other areas were handle the same way. Makes sense though since the rest of the calculations do.

[leaden salmon]

Whoever thought this was a great idea needs to be fired. I need this for my build but there is no way to search for the stats I want on the jewel. And it only shows me 100 results?

Is there no way to get market to show more results?

[viral crag]

I remember now, it's the gain that works the other way around. When you gain something as a different stat, modifiers to the stat type you gained can be applied.

[heavy slate]

can't you search for specific mods on the jewel?

[leaden salmon]

Not on this Unique one

[heavy slate]

wow

[merry bone]

no - the trade site doesnt have the unique/timeless programmed yet

EA

[heavy slate]

That's unfortunate and annoying.

[leaden salmon]

What about getting more than 100 results?

[viral crag]

Wait, that would still work the same way 🤔

[wet mango]

Huhn? Gain, like conversion, works before modifiers. Not sure what you mean by other way around

[leaden salmon]

None of the 100 first results have what I need

[wet mango]

They work the same

[viral crag]

You would get the conversion, and the modifier would only be appleid after.

[uneven trench]

It sucks but there are workarounds, search around

[merry bone]

add a specific price filter search - browse those - then change the price

repeat unti ljewel obtained

[viral crag]

So, yeah. @heavy slate
Not looking good any way we try to cut this lol

[heavy slate]

yeah it's fine. at least I didn't level a sorc for it

[humble wave]

I don't understand Delirium, I never seem to be able to get more than 3 before it ends. What am I doing wrong? I'm running around the map blasting mobs and touching the mirrors that spawn more.

[viral crag]

Eww, sorc 😒

[heavy slate]

and you're talking to someone who builds glacial hammer builds in poe1 for fun

[merry bone]

running the wrong direction

[humble wave]

How can I tell which is the right direction?

[merry bone]

when the fog starts running out

[heavy slate]

away from where the mirror was

[merry bone]

You said you're blasting mobs - but are you actually blasting? Or you moving a bit slow?

[humble wave]

mostly oneshotting

[viral crag]

Dang, not seeing anything exciting for a caster to do on low life this go around.

[humble wave]

Is there any easy way ( not CI ) to get my Chaos Resist to 75% ? Seems there's no runes for it

[hybrid ocean]

Man, I really hope the next patch lets you respec between ascendancies

[hybrid ocean]

There are soul cores that give 7% each

[hoary ingot]

Guys is there a way to absolutely nuke bosses with a single explosion

Im talking about like

https://tenor.com/view/megumin-explosion-gif-20357859

One spell cast and everything is just gone

[hybrid ocean]

Hammer of the gods

[humble wave]

those work the same as runes?

im not sure what soul cores are

[hybrid ocean]

Yep

Identical but more valuable

You'll see them later on

[heavy slate]

OK so now that we all definitely understand how The Three Dragons works...I tested something else. The helm only removes chill from cold damage and NOT freeze buildup. So your cold damage can both ignite and freeze

[hoary ingot]

Damn actually a good idea

[hybrid ocean]

Afaik nothing else comes remotely close damage scaling wise

Maybe falling thunder with the full overlap, or Arc somehow with a million chains?

[hoary ingot]

But i have to go down warrior path for that right

[hybrid ocean]

You will have to use a mace for that

[hoary ingot]

I can keep it as a 2nd weapon slot

But do i need to divert to warrior side in passive treee

[hybrid ocean]

I mean, not necessarily

But you'll probably want to

I saw someone using flash grenades with Titan

Flash grenades for clear, and then using them to stun bosses to prep hammer

With some nodes to fully break armour on heavy stun

I think if you paired that with overkill and wall, you could likely actually one-shot pinnacle bosses

[wet mango]

Time for immolate

[heavy slate]

I rolled a sorc as soon as I confirmed I could still freeze with cold skills

[wet mango]

Things are very literal. It's did not say can't freeze so of course it still can

[mellow shell]

If I want to use a skill like galvanic shard on my merc as my main dps. Is it wiser to go for a physical focused cb or lightning focused cb?

[modern oak]

The bell shockwave damage is calculated based on the weapon that was used to create it?

[young hinge]

plasma bolt

[wet mango]

Highest dps

[ancient perch]

Does increased amount of mana leech apply to mana on kill?

[mellow shell]

aight

[wet mango]

That's not leech so no

[ancient perch]

it should imo

[wet mango]

Leech is leech

[ancient perch]

it applies on mana on hit

[wet mango]

"thing kinda sorta like leech" is not leech

[ancient perch]

so no, leech isnt leech

[merry bone]

if it applies to mana on hit - thats a bug

[ancient perch]

why is that a bug?

[merry bone]

because on hit is not leech

[wet mango]

Are you talking about mana recovery? Because that would apply

[ancient perch]

thats now the tooltip starts

[wet mango]

Ok now read the rest of it

[merry bone]

On Hit effects are on hit. Leech is Leech. Its 2 different things

[wet mango]

That's like saying brown bears are polar bears because the Wikipedia for polar bears starts:

A polar bear is a bear

[ancient perch]

aight aight

[wet mango]

And brown bears are also bears, so they also count as polar bears

[ancient perch]

this node confuses imo

[merry bone]

Why? it does 2 completely separate things

[ancient perch]

completely?

[merry bone]

Yes. 1 Is Mana on Kil. The other increases the Mana you Leech

2 completely different things

[ancient perch]

thats completely different things

[merry bone]

so is Siphon

[ancient perch]

agree to disagree

[merry bone]

Eh - no - that doesnt work when it comes to actual facts

[ancient perch]

que?

[merry bone]

Its a fact that those 2 lines are completely different things

you cant agree to disagree on a fact lol

[ancient perch]

Both revolves around mana gain, thats the fact

dunno what you are on about

have a good one, bye

[atomic halo]

it doesnt work when it comes to the actual mechanics of the game lol

[placid verge]

Recommended build pairing of running duo with a friend?

That 200% HP gain suuuuuucks early game with solo builds it seems

[warm star]

Hey guys, had a question about stats with gas arrow build. I have the int required for a couple skills, and strength for supports. But I have what feels like WAY too much dex which doesn't benefit the build. Would I be better off putting the rest into strength for HP? Or Int for more mana since it becomes mana heavy?

I'm at like 50+ dex from what I need for skills etc

[young hinge]

wat level are u

[warm star]

60

Dex doesnt give evasion so it feels pointless me thinks

[young hinge]

just play abit i guess,
see if u die more or if u run out of mana more (and then die) xD

[warm star]

Fair enough

Im decently geared atm, survibility is pretty good. Found a div in act 3 normal, and spent like 15-20ex to gear up

[thin basin]

need 205 dex for max gem levels after you can dump for other stuff

[warm star]

Ooh thanks, wasnt sure about that

[copper egret]

Unless gemling legionnaire

[obtuse shale]

Does call of Brotherhood topaz ring work with shockburst rounds to convert the lightning to cold dmg?

[orchid acorn]

As a caged god monk, how do I gain power charges?

[sterile latch]

guys is it possible to t16 an instilled map plz ? i tried like 20 times and no t16 nor t14

[rapid star]

would that be a good leveling staff?

for a sorcerer that don`t get many atttack speed nodes at the start lol

[merry bone]

Combat Frenzy / Resonance

[orchid acorn]

Are those items?

[merry bone]

Combat Frenzy is a spirit skill. Resonance is a Keystone

[heavy slate]

Resonance makes it so instead of gaining Frenzy, you gain Power charges

It's very good on monk if you are freezing for example

[white geyser]

Hi guys I’m a monk lvl88 but build was terrible now gone monk invocker ice,cold lighting build but not sure what stats I need on items/moddifiers if anyone could help or drop me a dm would be appreciated

[merry bone]

encourage you to check out MilkyBlk guides on maxroll as a starting point

[woven vine]

Hey guys I am following a build for Invoker Monk and on the build it has you putting on Deceleration on Elemental Invocation but I can't put it on it says it isn't compatible for the skill?

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/al13509n

[merry bone]

did you put the actual spell in there first? im guessing it uses eye of winter

[woven vine]

There is a link for reference

I did

[dawn spire]

It's not supporting invocation, it's supported a spell triggered by invocation

What else is socketed in invocation?

[woven vine]

eye of winter

[dawn spire]

Eye of Winter is socketed in invocation when you try to add deceleration?

[woven vine]

correct

[dawn spire]

Try enabling it first, then adding deceleration

[merry bone]

are you at dex support capacity?

[woven vine]

I think I figured it out I am an idiot I am sorry

I don't have enough intelligence

[dawn spire]

Yeah it looked like invocation was greyed out

[craggy kraken]

If you have a headhunter, can you stack duration on stuff to make the buffs last longer?

[dawn spire]

Specifically the stat that makes buffs on you expire more slowly, yes

Skill effect duration does not work

Also if you had temporal chains on yourself, that would also extend the duration

[craggy kraken]

Looks like it's just the one from the passive tree? prolonged assault

[dawn spire]

And chronomancer small nodes 😉

[craggy kraken]

Ah, ok. I'm a gemling

Probably not worth it for 10%

[digital echo]

whats the 2nd best combo for Morior Invictus? planning to get it but the price for attri + elem resist is too damn high

[craggy kraken]

Depends on the build

[digital echo]

its the normal howa attri without astramentis

[heady garnet]

for the beidats collection of ascendancy skills, does the increase to stat (ie +1 spirit per 25 life) mean your total life amount or the life amount reserved?

[craggy kraken]

I think it's "just get any of them with elem resists", honestly. Spirit is probably good.

[sage flame]

Oright guys, perhaps someone can help me.
Hexblast curse aura infernalist here.
I currently run blasphemy with despair, boosted, and single curse.

I'm thinking about losing arctic armor and despair boosts to run 2nd curse.

Would that be worth it?

From my understanding, as Hexblast detonate max 9 times / cast, it would benefit a boss situation (2 explosions instead of 1) but would deficit a mapping situation with more than 4 mobs around me.

Does that make sense?

[opal yoke]

What does increasing my blasphemy level do besides make it more expensive ?

[craggy kraken]

Mine has + defences

[digital echo]

hmm so just throw away attri right? tbh was thinking of doing that too since it will not get a high ++ without astra anw

thanks

[merry bone]

reduces the aura effect penalty

[sage flame]

reduce the curse reduction effect

[craggy kraken]

Yeah, the important part is to not be a glass cannon. Makes the grind frustrating, imo.

Sure, you aren't going to be a tank, but not every mistake needs to require a new map.

[opal yoke]

Okay thanks

[sage flame]

Any hexblast specialist around? 🙌

[digital echo]

real

[merry bone]

the way its written its still based on maximum life

[sage flame]

wdym?

[merry bone]

my bad wrong comment

[merry bone]

written still as maximum life - reserved doesnt change your total max life

[heady garnet]

ok, thanks

[merry bone]

sounds like the swap you are looking to do is the matter of turning off a spirit gem and cutting like a couple of skill gems? Id say throw it in and give it a go. The cost to set it up and test is basically nonexistent

[viral crag]

Not catching all of this, but as far as I know you only detonate one curse at a time currently.

Video shows that it can detonate multiple curses, but isn't functional as such in game 😦

[merry bone]

Oh thats right - they changed that

[viral crag]

Still in the gemcutting video, but the tooltip matches the behavior so I assume that's what they are going with 😦

[hot dew]

any good builds for Monk with CI?

[merry bone]

whatever monk b uild you were playing is probably good with CI

[hot dew]

Thanks. seems easier than trying to manually cap now i just capp the elements

[sage flame]

That's what I thought and I just checked the skill video (in game) that says "if multiple curse are on the target, they all got stripped" so I'm trying to find a way to do it

[merry bone]

you can still get a bunch of evasion and go CI - monk gets easy access

[viral crag]

Right, that's what I mentioned below.

While the video shows a whole section on detonating multiple curses, the in-game behavior currently matches the tooltip.

One cast, one curse popped (iirc, the one with the lowest duration)

[sage flame]

I can run either :

• single, boosted curse, with actic armour (Pros : more mana regen / more def / more chaos res lowering from curse)
• dual, unboosted curse, without arctic armour (Pro : detonate 2 curse (but as I understand it, wont be worth it in big packs becaause of the cap at 9 explosions / cast)

if there was no cap, I'd give it a go. But it seems more like a boss setup to this point.
A boss setup where you have to invest 1 passive skill for dual curse, so.. .not sure it's worth it

[sage flame]

I tried in a tower realquick tho, and it seemed to work, I did OS all the mobs and they were cursed permanently anyway, so hard to tell for sure...

I've switched back to my original setup. What really breaks that mecanic to my point is the spell cap of hexblast at 9explosions / cast

[viral crag]

Would definitely recommend recording a video and sharing it then. I've talked with a lot of chaos players, and none of us can detonate multiple curses on a single target like the video shows 😅

[sage flame]

Yeah, I've corrected my last message to specify that I couldn't really make sure the 2 curses would detonate since they were in auras and everything got 1 popped anyway

[sour onyx]

Looking to reroll - and take a break from Invoker Ice Strike - Does anyone have a link to a build primarily using Fire and rarity?

[tacit tulip]

im lvl 62 at what lvl does this +4 mele skill weapon become inferior lol its rele nice imo (for low lvl content)

[atomic halo]

where base damage

1ex staff beats that

[tacit tulip]

1ex? what is ex

[atomic halo]

exalted orb

[merry bone]

oof that staff - yea easy upgrde for basically no money

[vital aspen]

what are the best runes/ soul cores for pillar of the caged god gemling legionaire? 30% elemental dmg?

[astral badger]

im running this ice/shock sorc build. I just got hands of wisdom and action from +2 Xesht. To confirm 100%: Hands of W and A won't help this build, as it adds lightning to attacks, not spells, correct? If so, I'm going to sell it.

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/hutch-cryoshock-stormweaver?weaponSet=set1&widgets-state=eyJmN2Q4MjEwMi03ZTc3LTRhNDQtYWQyNC0zM2I2N2U4YWU3YmYiOnsiZmlsdGVycyI6eyJhY3RpdmVWYXJpYW50SWQiOiIxZTQ3NTkyNS01ODdlLTQ5NWQtOGM5Ny02MDBhYjIxOTc4MDQifSwidHlwZW5hbWUiOiJOZ2ZEb2N1bWVudENtV2lkZ2V0Q29udGVudFZhcmlhbnRzVjEifX0

Cool, thought so. Just figured I'd confirm before I sell 100%. Thanks.

anyone have an endgame build for witch? and no the church of the witches is not answering so

do totems benefit from you having rage?

[opal yoke]

Safe to say my build is working as intended lol (lv63)

[pearl sluice]

Hey guys, im curious, any witch minion builds that use cast on - minion death?
if so how exactly do you work that into your build, and is it even worth it?

feel free to ping or dm me if you know of a worth "cast on" for witch minion builds

[kind crest]

Do totems get bonuses from armour such as increased attack speed on gloves and increased fire damage on rings

Do they even get bonuses from the weapon???

[autumn egret]

im using crouching_tuna's guide for some general direction how to build LA deadeye, but did he mix up the support gems for herald of ice and thunder ? https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/lightning-arrow-deadeye

[wild berry]

can anyone eli5 weapon passive points? Im on WH, trying the weapon master ascendancy for 20 more points. But even when im allocating for xbow / bow I am losing overall passives, not just the weapon set ones. I dont get it

[distant tendon]

Link for demon form?

[merry bone]

most likely not. hes using his thunder to generate chills and freezes which then proc his ice which shocks - and procs thunder....

[autumn egret]

i see...

[foggy bloom]

does blasphemy gain any benefits from skill level?

[supple jay]

does magnified effect/expanse increase the aoe of font of blood/mana/rage supports?

[fallen harbor]

Can anyone explain what the weapon set means in the passive skill tree?

[worldly trail]

If you have increase lightning damage, but you convert lightning damage to frost. Will that increase in lightning damage be applied before its converted?

[lament sentinel]

anyone know if minions attacks count as hits?

[young hinge]

no

[burnt crystal]

What're the best support gems for passive buffs like Grim Feast? I'm using clarity but have another free gem slot

[worldly trail]

So if you convert from lightning to frost, lightning damage increase will not work at all, only lets say cold damage increase

[silent elm]

Hi! If I make an SSF character, does anyone know if there's a way to transfer loot out to other characters? I know you can't transfer in from other characters (or it'd be no reason to use SSF) but wondering if there's a chance to be able to send stuff out if stuff that my current character can't use?

what type of wand do i use on a demon witch build?

dont really matter - your weapon disappears when you go into demon form.

Im having a turbo hard time deciding on what ascendancy i wanna play... im a former d4 player (new to poe) that usually goes sorc but i havent found anything that clicks with me.. My highest priority is speedclearing. Any tips?

[merry bone]

until sunday - spark stormweaver - no one know what happens after sunday

[midnight bolt]

any clue why glass shank garanteed freeze works on t1-2 pinnacle bosses but doesnt work on t3-4??

[foggy bloom]

what stats are improved if I increase the quality of this ring?

[neat bison]

First 3

I highly doubt you could get +2 chain

but don’t know for sure I guess

[hybrid ocean]

Oh, you have one? Are you just using basic attack?

Since afaik there's no other skill gems

[midnight bolt]

i use any skill it doesnt say on attack

[hybrid ocean]

Ohh

Does it have a basic attack though?

[midnight bolt]

yes

i cant use it tho

lol

[hybrid ocean]

Interesting!

[thick cedar]

Poe2db will have prefix and suffix list

[hybrid ocean]

Does it have a DPS number on there?

What does the information tab say?

[grand nebula]

Is there a node for monk that gives spirit based on ES and EV on head gear? Like the ascendancy gives for body armor

[merry bone]

no

[grand nebula]

OK thanks

[foggy bloom]

It has, but it says nothing, like you

[merry bone]

The Craft Tags - that tells you what types of catalyst will impact that stat

So either a Caster or Speed catalyst (or essence) can result in Cast Speed

Unique modifiers on unique items typically do not scale with catalysts - as they are unscalable effects

[tidal copper]

I have noticed apparently non-scalable effects getting Vaal out of range
I wonder if they actually work though

[merry bone]

that is intended for many of them with the changes to how vaals work

[rancid seal]

is mind over matter supposed to nerf mana flask? my flask is supposed to heal 300 mana but only heals 150

[merry bone]

yes - its the second line of the node

[rancid seal]

ok -- thought recovery rate meant natural recharge not flask

[merry bone]

Recovery is all of it.

https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Recovery

What you were thinking was "Regen" - but its Recovery so it does it all

[tidal copper]

I can imagine but this burden of shadows item
It makes spells cost life and you it wouldn't show difference after valing yet you can search staffs that have 110% mana cost as life maybe I was searching wrong

[thick cedar]

Too bad you’re too dumb to read basic range numbers

Getting called out at 2am to get insulted... spicy

Certain catalysts should increase based on type used. Should also increase the implicit which is the 7-10% cast speed

high end breach with my god setup frozen cocka build best build out damages poison

[winter vortex]

Is spark build viable on chrono? What's the disadvantage compared to stormweaver?

[lapis cedar]

@thorny token

this was what i was working on

[thorny token]

well chrono does nothing for you and stormweaver like quadruples your damage

[thorny token]

looks decent i guess, shouldnt you be grabbing some aoe there tho or is that hoi just not doing anything

[lapis cedar]

well

thats the big question

i cant increase the aoe of the flasks

nope

but u cant even kill simple t15 mobs?

[lapis cedar]

clears all content without issue highest dps frozen coc on market ignores all poison nerfs

[agile pelican]

Is evasion something you can build for exclusively as your defensive layer like ES or is it missing some key stuff to be able to do that

[spice quiver]

lil bro would die in a second to even a max lvl xesht

(easiest endgame boss)

[lapis cedar]

clears all content no issue solo all bosses best frozen build

[hasty reef]

Don't come into the help channels to flame people's builds, @spice quiver

[woeful owl]

so based on this, "gain #% of dmg as extra [dmg type]", is a type of conversion (like archmage), does this mean, the dmg I get from archmage is scaled more with #% increased lightning dmg?

Anyone here using Unearth on witch?

And can recommend some support gems

(lvl 1 gems)

[thin mesa]

no not quite... I mean like the more evasion -> the more ES

[warped leaf]

hello, everyone! im rather new here, just hit lv 23 and im trying a lighting bolts build on a mercenary, got a question if anyone can help... how do i find a more appropriate crossbow for my build? my current one already seems to struggle with clearing and bosses

[sage mirage]

dont trade for one at that level, picking up any white crossbow thats a decent item level and throwing on orb of transmutation/augment to see if it's an upgrade could be a way.. Also check the shops back at camp, they reset everytime you level up so check in every level up.

perhaps if all else fails, there's one npc that sells random crossbows for quite a bit of gold, could gamble on that

[warped leaf]

oh i didnt know they reset

thank you

What does this 50% quality do/apply to?

[lament sentinel]

wanna make sure, the revive cd applies to all your skeletal clerics right?

as in they don't each get their own revives

[digital axle]

sorry for dumb question but how does life regen work with energy shield? if used with ligurium

[cyan plinth]

These numbers, except they apply to ES

[digital axle]

will it give regen based of life or convert all regen % to energy shield?

[cyan plinth]

Regen specifically not leech

[digital axle]

so CI is bad with it 😦

thx for info

[cyan plinth]

Chaos Innoculation? Only applies to max hp, not regen, unless all your sources of regen are % and not flat

[digital axle]

was planing to take % regen and somehow put it on ES but it seems not happening

[cyan plinth]

Yeah cant combo it with that unique sadly

[digital axle]

thought it will work differently than zealoths oath but it will be basically same

[winter shale]

Guys can anyone help me for fix loop mana for BI comet witch

[torn owl]

is anyone using brutes, i am trying to use them utilising their bonebreaker but the 4 second cooldown is really affecting the build. does anyone have a work around for it

[elder mural]

Omen of resurgence work if your CI + MoM ?

[wet mango]

You can apply quality to it, normally quality max is 20 but this mod let's you quality up to 50

Different quality affect different mod (tags)

[tidal copper]

What if you annoint cool down reduction and add the key stone to apply the amulet to your bonnies

[torn owl]

could work but i would be losing like 50 spirit and +2 minion level for 10 cdr

[tidal copper]

No gem to for cool down reduction?

[torn owl]

ingenuity doesnt work on brutes

[frank raptor]

Good morning! I’m adding impetus to a cast on shock with voltaic mark. The UI makes it look like the skill doesn’t support impetus, like it’s red. But then it lets me socket it anyways. Now im not sure if the cast on shock is working at all. Normal?

[thin basin]

Impetus should work on cast on shock but not voltaic

[royal lark]

Can someone share me the build you are following? Im ice strike with double herald, charged staff, avatar...

[frank raptor]

Thank you

shld I use Queen of the forest for leveling ranger

just got it on my monk so I'm creating a ranger class rn but shld I even use it if I reach lv48

Also I'm planning on using death harp when I reach lv 28 but when shld I swap off it

[warped jackal]

I would like to use this item on invoker, but i think it must seem impossible to maintain 90% mana all the time

[fervent lake]

How do you get the Lightning Bolt Skill?

nvm

[hollow hedge]

It's a weapon skill (spell?) it's only on some staffs

Anyone here got a titan build that I can have some advice on?

[hasty tangle]

Frost bomb and ice strikes is feeling pretty good on early game monk

wonder if it would later on as well

[snow walrus]

@hasty tangle well it's op when you get to endgame just exspensive to get it high enough

[proud talon]

everything cost an arm for end game now especially ring and necklace x)

neeed to build up my elemental resistance for end game all necklace ask for either 30 exalt or divine

[astral willow]

divs are the new base currency

[fleet matrix]

Any tips on witch? Been trying to kill the act 1 boss for so long

[proud talon]

so far never dropped one im lv 70 and im on end game start

got -25 fire /ice 2% thunder and 54% chaos i need way more resistance

[gilded nova]

Does anyone have a bit of time to spend with me to buy all items for my Monk?
I am currently sitting at around 20+ Divines and I need to buy all pieces except HoWa, since I already have it.
I don't want to make mistakes like I did on my Deadeye, so I need an expert who would help me out with this.
I really want to be strong and viable to do T15's without sweating too much.

[static spade]

Guys if I use Pyromatic Pact and I get damaged by infernal flame, where does it scales?

[thin basin]

Sounds like you can buy a good rolled ingenuity!

[static spade]

It only says you get damaged, does the amount of maximum infernal flame the amount of damage?

[thin basin]

Take maximum Life and Energy Shield as Fire Damage when Infernal Flame reaches maximum

[static spade]

Ouch so if you got 0% fire resistance then you automatically die?

[thin basin]

Sounds correct

[static spade]

Wish it scaled on max mana

[wet mango]

Why

You don't have mana anymore so it would just not del dmg lul

[remote ravine]

Best build in the game rn???

[rose epoch]

odd question but does the "#% Increased Evasion Rating" on an amulet increase your total evasion or is it local to just the amulet?

[dreamy charm]

total

any piece of gear that doesn't have a defensive stat gives total defensive stats with afixes

[rose epoch]

ah cool thank you

[viral latch]

I have a problem. I got a focus that has 57% energy shield increase but it doesn't add anything to my energy shield when I put it on

Is it capped by lvl or anything? I'm at 1441 at lvl 53

[plain cloud]

Hey, just got my Stormweaver to end game today and hit 75+ so want to gear the character properly and what are the best builds available to Stormweaver currently ? I was suggested the Spark build by NickTew a couple of days back but I'd love to know my options and what other viable builds/playstyles are available before going with that

[merry bone]

The 57% energy shield increase is local to the focus itself. So it's not going to give you 57% more energy shield.

Are you currently using a focus? If you are and their final energy shield amounts are the same then you're not going to notice a difference

[merry bone]

There's probably some random things here or there. But the simple reality is that spark storm Weaver is probably one of the top three builds in the game right now. So there's just not really any reason to play something different if you're already playing Storm Weaver.

I will caveat that by saying we do know that there will be an announcement on Sunday from GGG about what's coming in the next patch. But we literally have no idea what they're going to say so it's possible anything you make right now gets nerfed through the ground regardless of what it is

[viral latch]

It has 66 on it. When I put it in the 1 slot it works but if I keep it in 2 it does nothing

[merry bone]

You mean in the weapon swap? That's only going to affect you when you swap to your second set of weapons

[viral latch]

Oh I see

So the focus only affects the slot it's in, not everything

[merry bone]

Correct

[viral latch]

I run freeze mage and have that unique that does a lot of cold damage and freeze

Don't know if it's worth replacing it to use a focus

[digital axle]

dunno where to ask, but does this ascendancy ignite count as urs? self ignite?

[unborn robin]

thinking about doing a new build on my deadeye but with the GGG stream on Sunday don't know if I should yet

anyone can help me

[sullen iris]

I'm a new player currently lvl 87 playing infernalist arsonist build, what's the best witch build currently?

[dark vigil]

why my jack of all trades annoint on amulet doesnt work????

nothing happen, with 329 strength i should have got 120% damage bonus

[tidal copper]

Detonate dead
But if you are afraid of nerfs for some reason hexblast can do all endgame just fine

[digital axle]

is strength ur lowest attribute?

[ember arrow]

hi! does anyone knows how much evasion i would need to reach cap with acrobatics?

[dark vigil]

yes, its 329 at the moment

[digital axle]

relog, stats sometimes wonky and aint updating properly, if still not registering then prolly bug

[dark vigil]

still not registering

[digital axle]

can u ss damage with and without amulet?

tbh its not big damage increase since ure using usual monk attribute staff that gives way more % damage increase

[fleet matrix]

Any tips for a chaos witch setup Act 1?

[vivid crown]

do you get more drops/rarer drops when playing with other people?

[dark vigil]

still 224k dmg when i annoint, doesnt change anything, now my amulet gone

[digital axle]

yes, more peeps more drops. and rarer

[digital axle]

u can always report bug if u think it is. tbh i dont know why it doesnt work since i dont know ur items and passive tree

[midnight moss]

You will get way more and better equipment, but orbs can be hit or miss since they will be split among you depending on loot rules

[dark vigil]

there is a problem, it doesnt appear in my skil tree

[stable crag]

what atrributes should i put into when doing archmage int/str or int/dex

[sacred jewel]

whats the first ascendency passive I should get for infernalist

[rancid cipher]

For a build like this one, what is the actual all resist cap that I should be aiming for when buying gear? Trying to purchase stuff for a friend and he's following this guide, not sure how much I need to get since it has several factors that increase the overall cap.

[torn sand]

Hello, I started recently and I was wondering how viable it would be to make a melee Sorceress or Bow Sorceress and if I should ever go for Chrono or Stormweaver

[tidal copper]

at least 85% but you should ask your friend

[tidal copper]

depends
whatever is better synergy
what are you cooking?

[digital axle]

u mean using gems for max ress?

[torn sand]

No idea, I'm a total newbie

[tidal copper]

I will recommend you read the skill gems and the ascendency tree you want
just to know the direction what stats you want etc
the skill tree you can figure out as you go

[torn sand]

So I should look at all the skills the game has to offer to me and then pick an ascendency that works with it then a weapon?

[tidal copper]

sure sounds good
once you choose a combo that you think will work well log in and explore the skill tree as you go

no need to optimize that in the start you can regret as you go

[torn sand]

Honestly, it's kinda overwhelming because there're so many possibilities and I can't try the skills despite their desc. since what I'm mainly looking for is the game feel

[static spade]

If I used Demon form while holding a one handed weapon, does this still count?

[torn sand]

How do I look at the active skills?

[tidal copper]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCnWCnAJ5ow

[torn sand]

Oh, thank you

Honestly, I picked sorceress and I'm lazy to create a new character so I'll try to look at the viable builds around her ascendencies

[dreamy kindle]

shld I use Queen of the forest for leveling ranger
just got it on my monk so I'm creating a ranger class rn but shld I even use it if I reach lv48
Also I'm planning on using death harp when I reach lv 28 but when shld I swap off it

[rancid cipher]

It has the ascendancy skill that increases max rez, and some talents, and the chest piece. I'm just not sure how much all of this adds which makes it hard to figure out what to buy. T_T

[tidal copper]

the thing is if you want to do something original like mage archer
you have to know what you are doing a bit cause of course the synergies wont be as obivious

[torn sand]

I understand that, it's defo not the usual way to go

[tidal copper]

You can always start mage and as you get acustomed to evreything change or play archer and if goes wrong change to something else
i guess it isnt that bad

[torn sand]

@tidal copper Let's say I wanna make a build around Lighting Arrow from the archer skill tree, it's Lighting Damage and use a Bow for it which means it's expected that I use the skills from the Archer tree, aka. Lighting Rod, Stormcaller Arrow and Sockchain Arrow, right?

What I mean is that, if I pick a skill of a class, I believe that the final build will lead me to use skills from that same class, right? since that have synergies or easy access paths

I guess that the only thing that can justify the use of a Bow and Quiver on Sorceress is the fact it would increase the Projectile Speed and Damage for Spark?

[dreamy kindle]

can anyone help?

[tidal copper]

yes if you use an arrow ability youll keep using more and more bow abilities

[tidal copper]

dont ask to ask whats the issue

[dreamy kindle]

im asking that cause everyone is ignoring?

[full pendant]

anyone got screenshot of Lvl 37 Poison Concoction?

[torn sand]

Which is why I can't just light a skill in a class but dislike others, I've to like at least a kit of

Fair,
queen of the forest is a fine armour but youll need a lot of evasion to get up to 20% movement speed which is about what youll expect to have on boots
Death harp swap should be easy to know, when you stop murdering enemies in one or two shots its time to change i will be itll last till mid act 2? but who knows

[frosty swan]

anyone monks i can dm my gear and can give me tips?

[dreamy kindle]

thanks, so dont use queen early?

[sterile pebble]

what cool build can you reccomend to monk for leveling?

[tidal copper]

youll know if queen is good cause as you wear the armour itll feel as if your character just put on 50 pounds
if it doesnt its time to use the queen

[dreamy kindle]

dang alright

[tidal copper]

Just a bit of math 500 evasion for 1 movement speed thats uh...
5000 for 10 or 10000 for 20% movement speed as mentioned
thats a late game armour for pure evasion characters

[dreamy kindle]

true, is deadeye or pathfinder better rn

[tidal copper]

Personally betting they are going to nerf pathfinder concoctions so unless you like poison or any particular pathfinder build
I would go deadeye

[torn sand]

Poison builds are strong?

[minor belfry]

do i need the 2nd pierce? shouldnt 100% be enough ?

[tidal copper]

lightihng arrow with orb of storms and lighting rod

[sterile pebble]

i have ranger laighting arrow

any other?

[tidal copper]

Did i stutter? wait till after act2 to change to monk abilities or a lucky staff drop

[sterile pebble]

i can buy items have 10div now

[tidal copper]

if you really hate that route maybe you could do spells fancy spark maybe?

[sterile pebble]

so can twink leveling a bit

[tidal copper]

If you want to play monk...

let me take look at the uniques

[dreamy kindle]

i used lightning arrow until lv14

and swapped to ice strike

1 tapped every single boss

to map

[sterile pebble]

can u give link to build?

[tidal copper]

Oh! you could use pillar of the caged god to level
that staff is said to carry both early and late

[dreamy kindle]

there is no link

just take ice strike

and bell

and u win whole campaign

[mental abyss]

Anyone following Tsukuyomu CWDT Comet build? i can't find an info on why he stated that it needs to be a lvl 80 minimum, can someone enlighten me?

[tidal copper]

send the guide maybe i can take a look

[proud talon]

it seem the fire witch is the worst of all witch element sadly...

tried playing around incineration and other fire skills its quite meh vs minion for example

[wooden horizon]

they patched the Maxu shield yes?

mahu*

affecting other soul cores of other items

doesn't seem to work for me

Whats your chaos and fire res

[modern oak]

Can you override instilled enchantment on an amulet?

[solid belfry]

Hey guys, what scales Seismic cry?

[torn sand]

@tidal copper Is there only 2 kind of ways to make a Ranger? It seems like it's always either Thunder build or Poison

Can't I make a sort of Ice Control Ranger build?

[merry bone]

Ice Shot - Spiral Volley - Can play Crossbows on Ranger easily. For pathfinder - all of the concoctions are good

tons of ways to make a ranger

[torn sand]

Also, I can't find any videos that showcase the Ascendancy skills, unless I miss them

[static plinth]

Do people just rely on Recharge for ES recovery?

[merry bone]

Right now - they just use grim feast

[static plinth]

Is that enough?

I might be biased against it because ive had Event Horizon for like 70 levels

Ig with recharge itd be fine

[modern oak]

Question about +% increased ele dmg with attacks.
Lets say base weapon dmg is 200 (100 phys + 100 ele) with +50% increased ele dmg affix. I have a skill that says 200% attack dmg.
What is the total damage with that skill?

[merry bone]

200 Phys & 300 elemental

[modern oak]

Can you spell out the formula, pls?

[tired forum]

is there a way to export your character

well your build

[merry bone]

im sorry but its just simple math. you have elemental dmg - it does 50% more - the skill does 200% of dmg

[modern oak]

its not 50% more, it's increased

[merry bone]

correct - b ut in your example there is only 1 modifier - so more and increased are the same

[modern oak]

yeah, but increase from the skill and this mod can stack additivily also

[merry bone]

Ok - but your example didnt have any of that in it

If you ahve a different question, then the answer may be different - but your question is pretty straightforward

[modern oak]

Question about +% increased ele dmg with attacks.
Lets say base weapon dmg is 200 (100 phys + 100 ele) with +50% increased ele dmg affix. I have a skill that says 200% attack dmg.
What is the total damage with that skill? Can you provide a formula?

<weapon phys dmg> * <skill mod> + <ele dmg> * <skill mod> * <inreased ele dmg>?
100 phys * 2 + 100 ele * 2 * 1.5 = 500?

Why not 200 total dmg * 2 + 100 ele * 0.5 = 450 (200 phys + 250 ele)?

[merry bone]

why are you not multiplying the ele dmg as part of teh Attack Dmg that the skill gives you? Does the skill only multiple your PHYSICAL attack dmg? or does it say Attack damage?

[modern oak]

Type your calculations, why do i have to guess yours

[merry bone]

all good man, enjoy your day. You asked a question, it was answer now you want to get angry with someone.

[modern oak]

You didn't specify how you came up with the numbers, but thanks anyway

[merry bone]

Math. Its just math man

[modern oak]

And this is just words

[elder mural]

What is the best type of mana potion if you play MoM + CI to get the most mana

[merry bone]

https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Mana_flask Gives you amount receoved and durations

ultimate does more and faster

[rancid cipher]

What element of damage does the Gemling Grenadier build primarily do? Are the explosions fire?

[merry bone]

there are a number of different grenades - what build are you looking at specifically

[rancid cipher]

Ah my bad, just trying to piece some gear together for a friend. He's using this one atm.

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/xq9ke03n

[merry bone]

Thats primarily a fire dmg build - that is scaled by using a physical dmg weapon

[nocturne quartz]

Hi, i'm curious about something. I like poe 2 and i'm doing my own build wich is kinda good for the moment (at least for my need). I'm doing the endgame content but feel like i've not lot of choice. I'm doing a minionmancer and skill tree + minion skill support gem are kinda limited. I can't have one big minion. Can't really do a lot around them. Do you think it'll change in the future or that was the same case on poe 1?

[rancid cipher]

So +% fire damage would be something that it benefited from then? Just wanted to be sure.

[merry bone]

eh pretty similar in POE1. we will definitley be getting 'Raise Spectre' which will allow you to control monster minions that you kill. Theyve not really done much around the 1 big minion - but who knows what Huntress or Druid may have for us as options

[nocturne quartz]

It's kinda sad, it's an EA, but i would like to have more interaction with my minion, or at least the feeling to not be "another minionmancer with the same shit that others"

[merry bone]

given each minion has a custom ability you can use and interact with - not sure that you could ask for much more in the way of interaction

[nocturne quartz]

well lot don't have any abilities, and some abilities are better when not used (imo), wich is kinda sad. But indeed that's more interaction than nothing! 😄

[wild nexus]

Hey all, does Bow + Quiver calculate to 2h weapon as per the passive nodes or not?

[merry bone]

The only skeletal minions without an active are Warriors - and then Brutes - but Brutes will auto stun primed enemeis - allowing you to build in a way that you prime them, then they stun them.

[nocturne quartz]

cleric don't get any active too

[merry bone]

oh sure - but they are standing there insta rezzing your other minions. got it - dont really count them myself as youd never run just clerics - they are just there to support the actual minions. But you are correct

[pearl sluice]

most of the actives are pretty bad anyway

if not all of them

[merry bone]

Frost mage freeze aoe is good. Arsonist explode if you run temp minions does 15% of the minion life as dmg. Reavers berserk juices them. I'd say all of them are pretty good - just need to build around them as opposed to just stacking increased dmgs and let them run around without engagement

[nocturne quartz]

not all, but a large part, I really hope they add some new possibilities as minionmancer, or at least some things to play with them. Maybe i'm asking for too much, and it's an EA. They already got lot of work on the minion AI itself, the pathfinding etc.. But I would love to feel like a "real choice" in my talent tree, stuff and way to play.

[astral willow]

I just want summon specter so we can make the npcs deal with shades for once

[quasi ledge]

is the cloak of flame unique the main way to reduce physical damage on sorc?

[warped jackal]

a question to bleed mechanics - is increasing the duration of bleed increase the damage as well - or do you basically lose bleed dps?

[merry bone]

basically one of the only ways

[warped jackal]

background is this node, wonder if it's worth

[merry bone]

Duration is just duration - so the bleed you apply runs longer - so you dont "lose" dps - your strongest bleed just gets extended

[static plinth]

Same DPS but it lasts longer

[warped jackal]

ah okay, so by combining it with "deal faster" it would actually actively deal more damage

[merry bone]

yea deal faster is a multiplier to dps

[warped jackal]

thanks!

[quasi ledge]

hmm
I'm trying to increase my spirit cap so I have room for blink and archmage
seems the max spirit you get from amulets is +50? at least for anything I can afford lol
but yeah I can't really change out that body armor so idk

[atomic yacht]

So why does Infernal Cry not empower molten blast? It says that infernal cry will power an additional attack per endurance charge. i understand it not powering up molten blast without charges because it specifies melee attack

[merry bone]

yea max roll on an amulet is 50, then you can get it on the spirit implicit amulet for i think 65 if perfect rolled on both

[quasi ledge]

might just have to try and switch away from using staff spells then :/

freezing shards really is pretty good tho

[merry bone]

or just get enough ES/Mana so that you dont care about physical dmg

[haughty wadi]

anybody uses wildfire?

[quasi ledge]

I mean I've got like 1.5k ES so it's not terrible
but when I get circled in it can get rough

[merry bone]

What level are you?

[quasi ledge]

77

[merry bone]

MoM?

[quasi ledge]

what?

[merry bone]

Mind over Matter?

[tidal copper]

Whats your base accuracy?

[quasi ledge]

nah it's kinda in the opposite direction I've gone on the passive tree

[merry bone]

0 - accuracy is granted by dex and the accuracy rating stat. Your chance to hit is calculated based on your level, accuracy rating, distance to target, and their evasion.

[tidal copper]

how much you get from dex again?

[merry bone]

5 per point

[quasi ledge]

could do some serious respec and go eldrich battery and MoM maybe, then swap out the body armor? idk

would lose a bit of dps tho

[tidal copper]

OK ty

[merry bone]

we are about 24 hours from the news - so if you are just chilling right now - id say hold out until we know whats going on

I just wouldnt suggest anyone making large sweeping changes to what they are playing - because the news could say the patch wont be for a month - or it could drop later that evening.

[wet mango]

dps is the same, you do higher total dmg

[wet mango]

deal faster basically reduces duration but increases dps to compensate, so total dmg stay sthe same

[twilit bane]

why cant we see the stat change on some skills? like for Raging Spirit when i put a +1 level minion gem, the stat does not change

[merry bone]

EA

[twilit bane]

i see, so the support gem doesnt work for raging spirit, correct?

[merry bone]

it affects it

Minion data has historically been atrocious - and some of the calculations that are happning in the info section of skill gems doesnt appear to be fully functioning

[twilit bane]

roger. thanks for verifying, im thinking of adding both +1 level minion, and +1 level fire gems to SRS

[rancid forge]

any good items in existence that could apply bleed instantly instead of over time?

[merry bone]

Nope

But also - thats just getting additional dmg on your hit

[rancid forge]

what actually could help a build based on bleeding?

[merry bone]

help in what way - and what build?

[rancid forge]

i am theorycrafting about doing a melee blodmage build based on physical damage + bleeding but i never played anything with bleed or physical damage

i just wanted to know if there is any notable item that could help

[merry bone]

Id check out JayTX on youtube or twitch - he did a Bleed bow merc, and hes been playing a Bleed blood mage. Should help you with some of the basics

every item that directly interacts with Bleed:

https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Bleeding

[warped jackal]

there are items that aggravate

that's just one, there's also boots and others

[rancid forge]

i'm not really into copying anyones build unless i'm desperate

[warped jackal]

but oyu can get that effect from tree nodes too, careful^^

[merry bone]

I didnt say to go copy their build - but they focus heavily on Bleeds as a way to deal dmg, so you can learn scaling methods

[warped jackal]

so myb just go to these if the other sources are out of reach

[rancid forge]

so basically all the bleeding is in the passive skill tree?

[warped jackal]

but yeah a lot of them are for attacks.

[warped jackal]

uniques or also jewels, don't forget about anoints on your neck

[rancid forge]

that's huge

[warped jackal]

you can get a lot of magnitude from jewels too

but only from the red ones i think

[rancid forge]

ok so the bloodmage can inflict bleed on crits

15% chance

[warped jackal]

you also have ones in the more mage side of the tree too

[rancid forge]

that's also huge

[warped jackal]

id encourage just typing in bleed in the tree and take some time to check all the nodes that light up. afterall you can anoint one of them

there are not too many afterall

[west dove]

you might also want ailments to do damage faster

they're the DOT equivalent of attack speed

[frosty swan]

any tips on which staff is best?

i have the 4th pic equipped

[merry bone]

all of those seem insanely bad

like id never ecnourage you to pay anyone for those

[west dove]

if i had to pick i'd go 1st one

[frosty swan]

okay but i have them now and am lv 55 but if you had to choose

[frosty swan]

bet bet

[merry bone]

are you SSF?

[frosty swan]

is that just standard? if so yes

have 17 ex left

[merry bone]

No - solo self found. Or are you in trade

[frosty swan]

i trade

[warped jackal]

id say depends on what you play atm

[frosty swan]

playing invoker double herald monk idk the specific build

name

[merry bone]

Like 1 ex - dumpsters all of those
https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Standard/wO5B57Qub

[rancid forge]

and there is a way to increase the damage you do based on your maximum life?

[warped jackal]

generally you can just calculate the dps - and consider if the type of dmg is helping you

lets say you play a build that converts 80% from phys to lightning and works with shock i'd rather want to get the staff with lghtning and phys instead of the one with fire

[merry bone]

Throw 2 sockets - and 2 Phys% runes in that thing - and just go SLAM the rest of the campaign

[warped jackal]

pretty much yea

[frosty swan]

no one ever wants to reply 😭😭😭

[merry bone]

thats over 500 dps when you rune it if i had to eyeball it

[frosty swan]

is Cold damage what stacks most on monk ? since i’m running double herald im still not sure what does my damage actually

[merry bone]

well that link has 87 opitons for 1 ex. Id go for one that isnt socketed/runed yet - because you can push that dmg higher by doing it yourself

[merry bone]

whats your main attack?

[frosty swan]

ice strike but i thought the damage comes from thunder activating

[warped jackal]

201 dps / cold light phys
165 dps / phys
138 dps / cold phys
98 dps / 14-24 phys 30-57 light -> why would you even consider that?

[merry bone]

right its all synergies. so your ice strike is freezing, causing herald of ice to shatter - which you probably have skills in herald of ice that then shock - which triggers herald of thunder - which then has supports that cuase freeze - which continues the cycles.

You also probably have charged staff in there - making ice strike also cause shocks which can start the chain

[warped jackal]

or you just equip it and take some skill without a lot of conditional damage stuff and compare the tooltip dps

for hit stuff without a lot of logic it's not too terrible to compare it by tooltip

[frosty swan]

yessir all correct

[warped jackal]

at least if you aren't a warrior

[merry bone]

At 55 - y ou just want the highest dps weapon you can get your hands on.

[tropic pelican]

Can anyone explain how “magnitude” works with freeze? Having a tough time understanding this

[warped jackal]

i'd say it doesn't.

[tropic pelican]

Haha

Nice

[warped jackal]

the cold will get more slow.

[tropic pelican]

K so chill it will but not freeze

[warped jackal]

but the freeze is just the stun / maxed version of cold? i don't think it does anything to freeze?

[merry bone]

What does the specific line you are asking about say?

[warped jackal]

i asked this a lot myself and i really didn't see any difference. it's possible that the freeze duration is longer though

[tropic pelican]

30% Increased magnitude of non-damaging ailments

Freeze being one of em

[warped jackal]

it's really not explained in any tooltip i think

no one really could tell me till now

[tropic pelican]

Longer freeze duration would be amazing.

I have tried testing it without a stopwatch

[wet mango]

Freeze (and electrocute) don't have a magnitude

[tropic pelican]

Aka it didn’t seem to make a difference but I dunno

[tropic pelican]

K Thankyou

Thanks everyone

[warped jackal]

ii mean you will freeze faster

so it's kinda helping the freze in a way

[pearl sluice]

shock does have a magnitude and so does chill

[tropic pelican]

Wouldn’t that be freeze buildup?

Faster freeze

[warped jackal]

ahh u might be right sec

[pearl sluice]

theres a difference between freeze and chill

[rancid cipher]

Trying to help purchase a friend some gear and I have a question regarding resistances. He's following this guide atm and I'm confused about the max resistances. I know that his his talent nodes / ascendancy tree he has stuff to increase the maximum for them, but the amount of resists (especially fire) that's being used seems insane. The dude is showing like 219% fire resist. Is there a reason for this that I'm not seeing? Apologies if this is a silly question, a bit new still.

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/xq9ke03n

[warped jackal]

mm yeah, it's probably completely separate, sorry for the ocnfiusion

[pearl sluice]

freeze is the frozen solid debuff

chill is a slow

[hexed silo]

So my monk is 46 and I would like to do a lightning monk. However, I see everyone hating on full lightning and saying ice is the way ?

[merry bone]

never follow the gear part of a guide as 1:1 - chances are they imported what they were wearing - or threw in mock up pieces.

[pearl sluice]

the guide should explain its ideal pieces on the gearing section if its a quality guide

its extremely helpful to look at what perfect rolls are and then understand what you work towards to get close to it

[merry bone]

literally says this right in the guide

[rancid cipher]

Got it thank you. Just woke up and missed that part trying to rush this to get the stuff for him.

[pearl sluice]

like thats the ring for the frost mage witch guide im looking at good luck ever finding one of thse

[rancid cipher]

Does anyone know about how high his max resist will likley sit at with a build like this?

[pearl sluice]

capped

alwas

[merry bone]

90 is the cap - and that is the target

[pearl sluice]

theres no reason not to be

[merry bone]

But he has a +2 Max fire res corrupted Cloak of Flame on - so....

[pearl sluice]

if you cant get enough +ele/chaos res to be at 90 try to hit 80 and if thats out of budget be at 75 minimum

[viral crag]

We doing 90 chaos too?

[merry bone]

The roaddblock to your friends max res - will most likley be socketing currency LOL.

Means you will want ot have a good number of 5 and 6 links

[rancid cipher]

Ah, I see. I assume fire would be the most important one to start with then given the chest piece for physical damage reduction?

[merry bone]

right - this is primarily aiming to hit 90 Fire - as high as you can get on the others is obviously good, but the shift of phys ot fire, makes the fire the prio

[rancid cipher]

❤️

Appreciate your help

[hexed silo]

Is Hearld of Ice and Lighting both flat dps auras ? Or do I need to focus on using one or the other elements?

[merry bone]

their effects are based on attack damage

[modern oak]

Are you invulnerable during monk's flicker strike? If not, can you still be hit by an attack during it's application animation?

[winged oak]

does the white heavy belt need to be a certain level for headhunter?

[hollow sparrow]

The unique Fireflower solar amulet does dmg to yourself on igniting, is that a benefit for some builds? Or is that item just massive fire skill levels

[woven vine]

if I have a ring that has a trite I want but need the number higher is there a drop I can find or something that lets you change the number on a specific attribute on the ring?

[thin mesa]

Guys what support gems should I slot into Frost Wave? (Monk)

[merry bone]

Divines will reroll affixes within the current tier of the affix. Vaal orbs can corrupt the item and improve the roles beyond the limits of the tier.

If you have a specific example, we can answer more specifically

[merry bone]

not sure ive seen anyone actively utilize that - what are you using it for? find support gems that help do that thing.

[tribal egret]

Hey, I'm thinking of leveling up my Sorc. I'd really like to level as frost but when I was originally playing frost it wasn't killing bosses very well. I saw that there was a frost leveling guide on maxroll, but is it worth going frost or should I just strictly keep lightning?

[thin mesa]

I use it to freeze and/or disengage a bit

[woven vine]

this ring is perfect but I need the intel 2 higher so I can still use my staff and other skill

[merry bone]

so something like Glaciation to add freeze build up\

[merry bone]

yea - i dont think that ring is worth spending a divine on (potentially multiple). Find the inte elsewhere

[woven vine]

that is my ring lol

[merry bone]

I understand its your ring. But to get the int 2 higher - youd have to use a divine, and hope you hit the 8 Intelligence. Its not worht it, because that ring isnt worth divining

[woven vine]

fuck looks like to the market I go lol

[merry bone]

Just think - if you try divining this ring - you could spend easily 4 divines by just being reasonably unlucky

so thats your budget for a better one 🙂

also this is on a cast speed base - but also has phys attack leech - its just not worth trying to fix

[woven vine]

on a Monk build the leech would still proc if you are doing Invoker no?

[merry bone]

only procs off of the Phys portion of your attacks - but that wasnt the point. Rarely is a build using BOTH Attack Leech and Cast Speed.

so investing into a ring that has dead mods on it like that just feels wasteful

[woven vine]

ahh I understand

thank you

[merry bone]

BTW - fix your resistances - Yikes.

[woven vine]

I am working on it this is my first character and first time playing an ARPG

[merry bone]

Are you planning a swap to CI? Because also no Chaos res means you didnt even take the 10% perma bonus from campaign. Chaos dmg will start eating you up soon

[woven vine]

I am going to CI soon

[merry bone]

you got a good number of exalts just in that screenshot to go shopping and bolster these pieces

[terse haven]

Hey, I am making a plasma blast build but I am curious if there are more ways to reduce the severity of the movement slow while channel? I run the gem + pathfinder ascendancy for a 2 x 30% less movement slow from attacking but its still pretty slow (And ideally I'd actually want to run deadeye, not pathfinder)

[merry bone]

not sure there is anything other than those 2 to negate the movement speed penalty from attacking during moving.

You mentioned youd want to run Deadeye, if you already created this character you care unable to swap ascendancys - so you will be locked into PF.

[terse haven]

I've got a deadeye and pathfinder at 70 so dont worry

[jaunty flame]

i currently have a grand regalia, should i put in chaos resist or elemental resistances?

[merry bone]

isnt the answer rarity though?

[molten birch]

A max roll (Min roll?) Eye of Chayula with a 20% life catalyst would be 36 reduced life right?

[jaunty flame]

im not concerned about rarity

[fervent briar]

0% chance i would put rarity on that day before patch announcement lol

[torpid abyss]

Gents anyone willing to lend a hand. I'm doing monk totally wrong. Just keep getting my ass whooped

[terse haven]

Then wait for announcement

[merry bone]

I suggest you stop doing that then 🙂

[fervent briar]

Find out what alk is doing if you want to get defense.

[midnight moss]

are there any rough numbers on orb of chance success rates?

0/10 so far

[fervent briar]

in my experience ive gotten 2 uniques in about 6-7 tries. very small sample size. impossible to gather anything from it

probably also depends on the item. If youre trying to chance hh its prolly a lot lower odds. Im doing sapphire ring in ssf.

[torpid abyss]

Who or what is Alk ^^ Google doens't seem to know.

[warped jackal]

alkaizer

prolly?

[fervent briar]

alkaizer, he plays hcssf and he was recently playing monk

i know he got the conversion node to turn evasion into armour or whatever that node does

[merry bone]

there are dozens if not 100's of guides on monk builds at this point with minor variations between them. Maxroll or Mobalytics - take your pick and start giving them a look over

Alkaizers ability to guide people is atrocious. Great player - not good teacher

[fervent briar]

actually its worded physical damage reduction.

[midnight moss]

eva into phys dmg reduction, its an ascendancy skill

[fervent briar]

You dont have to listen to anything he says just look at his tree and gear
