[midnight moss]

not as good as people think it is, slams and aoes bypass it

[fervent briar]

he wont respond to you unless you say something completely autistic anyways

[torpid abyss]

Yes seems simaler to what I've seen and am following. Damage is awesome, but just get one shotted on anything over T2 maps if I even mess up once

[fervent briar]

why do slams and aoes bypass physical damage reduction

[midnight moss]

make sure you have capped resistances, id really suggest going for CI too

cuz phys reduction is just armor

[fervent briar]

my monk got to t15 maps fast and easily.

phys damage reduction and armour arent the same thing

they dont calculate the same.

[midnight moss]

read the skill and armor tooltips carefully ,you will see

[fervent briar]

armour is physical damage reduction based on the size of the hit.

[midnight moss]

the phys dmg reduction works like armor in the skills case

[merry bone]

If i recall - the implementation of that node is that it just turns it into armour though (even though the wording would align more to PDR from POE1)

[tidal copper]

People my hexblast is not performing what did i do wrong with the tree? I feel the answer must be here!

[fervent briar]

ok i see

where they announced it is different. they must have changed that

this is what i was looking at, not actually on my invoker. they must have changed it after i picked the node

what it says now

[midnight moss]

ye

[merry bone]

thats what it was on actual release

[fervent briar]

ya, i havent played my invoker since week 1. too fast and boring

[midnight moss]

I noticed it quickly when random slams from giant mobs were killing me outta nowhere

otherwise was godmode

[mint meadow]

titan enjoyer?

[fervent briar]

there really isnt another good node to take as long as grim feast is in the game

[fervent briar]

yes

although this was my monks name lol

[mint meadow]

titan is great just need to fix armor

[midnight moss]

warrior is torture until stampede

[fervent briar]

i embraced the suck

the vine arrow auto attack shit is what im using now

tried totems and ripped at like 82

[merry bone]

your tree and ascendancy currently has like 0 dmg - im guessing thats the issue

[thin basin]

tree have dmg

its poison

and chaos

[brisk glade]

Well... Depends on how many uniques your build uses

[jaunty flame]

hmm, chaos it is then

[merry bone]

There is like 2 wheels

[brisk glade]

Tbh I would rather sell it and straight up get the all attr and all res

[jaunty flame]

nah i need the spirit for what i want to test

[brisk glade]

Ohh ic

[jaunty flame]

dont mind spending divs to try builds

[thin basin]

4

[brisk glade]

Before putting chaos res

[thin basin]

i would say go crit but u not a bloodmage

[brisk glade]

There are unique jewels which can help you get chaos res

[tidal copper]

How im picking every poison node and everything!

[brisk glade]

And you can also buy chaos res as a corruption from any jewel

[jaunty flame]

nah im already using a time lost diamond

[brisk glade]

Hmmm, okay then. Up to you

If you know, then you know what to do

[jaunty flame]

its not the best

not int but was value for the price i bought it for

[brisk glade]

It is fine

I bought mine with cold res and chaos res

Wasn't max roll unfortunately, but still nice

[merry bone]

you're missing multiple poison wheels - and dont yet have the poison ascendancy nodes. Just syaing if its underperfoming its because right now that tree has no damage

[brisk glade]

If I just could afford morior with all res and all attr

I would much less issues in building

[thin basin]

why you playinf hexblast poison anywya

just pick pconc until they nerf it

[tidal copper]

Im surprised by that answer actually, i dont believe this would do any damage even if picked every dmg node
The health nodes in the pathfinder ascendency are actually kinda doing dmg as im using the burden of shadows

but that might be making the build worse instead of better i feel like a +4 wand will be the same

[merry bone]

Wait - you are scaling life? why so many ES nodes then? This lookedl ike something that was focused much more on stacking ES on your gear for EV/ES hybrid

Sounds more like the build is just all over the place at this point

i would almost certainly ditch that staff

[tidal copper]

The issue is that i feel like i want to be archmage for the staff but the path is very long and mana sustain options feel scarce when im MoM
This was the backup option cause i feel like having a second health bar is imperative as the cost of hexblast is too high

All the time as am mapping my hp is jumping from one to zero
sure having 4k hp would help a bit but then you are in a situation were your actual HP during fighitng will be 2k half of the time

unless you are godly at timing flasks i guess?

[jaunty flame]

what quality modifier affects spirit or rarity?

[merry bone]

none

[jaunty flame]

ah heck

[brisk glade]

If they did exist you would know

[pearl sluice]

if you have ingenuity its pretty good

[brisk glade]

Because they would probably go expensive

[brisk glade]

Nah

[pearl sluice]

it doesnt buff spirit it buffs the effects of ur rings tho

[brisk glade]

Why use ingenuity on such a ring

[pearl sluice]

what

why get 80% bonus item discov, spirit and res?

[brisk glade]

Ye

You can get those from other gear

[jaunty flame]

well it fixes literally all my resistances

[pearl sluice]

its literally nuts

[brisk glade]

Nice, lucky

[pearl sluice]

theres no better belt what so eevr

if u can afford it

[brisk glade]

Yeah, okay?

I was talking about the ring

[strong quartz]

how could i modify tempo choir of storms for simulacrum farming? I usually cast on dodge but its almost screwed me over a few times now. I tried some self cast spark, but it also felt clunky. Any ideas?

[jaunty flame]

ventors are the only rings that give spirit

to my knowledge

[brisk glade]

You can cap res and rarity 100% without using a ring for those

[brisk glade]

I guess so?

[pearl sluice]

theres not a better ring then a good ventors

[brisk glade]

I mean, you are trying to get spirit, so nothing bad about it

[pearl sluice]

what do you mean "use another ring"

ventors is insane with good rolls

[static plinth]

I mean, there is, depending on what you need

[brisk glade]

Ohh, my bad

Forgot this is not attr stacker build thread

[lunar sequoia]

Which item will give +5 To All Elemental Resistances when socketed in to armor pieces?? Tnx

[static plinth]

lmfao

Gemling brainrot

[pearl sluice]

spirit item discov and 3 res is nuts even if 1 of those res is negative

[brisk glade]

Yeah, my bad. For attr stacker it is useless

Spirit is good

But sacrificing flat dmg for res is kinda dumb

But that is not important for other builds ig

[pearl sluice]

how is it dumb to be res capped from 1 ring and a belt

letting you free up every other roll on all other gear pieces

[static plinth]

Ngl wtf else are you getting on your suffixes

[brisk glade]

Morior with all attr and all res can get enough to not use it

You could also get rarity and all res

Not bad

[jaunty flame]

you can afford to go rarity

if you picked a good ascendency

unlike me

[brisk glade]

Gemling is not that good either lol

[jaunty flame]

higher ceiling

i've spent like 150 divs on my witch hunter

[brisk glade]

Basically the best performance for it is either go invoker copy or be rich

[jaunty flame]

my friend with 50 divs on his does 2x my content

[pearl sluice]

depends on the build but at worse u can get more armor/es/hp rolls without having to also get res ontop of it

[brisk glade]

I really hope they won't nerf infernalist

Cause if they won't I ll finally escape from gemling attr stacker hell

[pearl sluice]

i mean they probably wont nerf it directly

but GF is def to strong is so is ES stacking

[willow steppe]

Hey, can someone please help my friend with build of his warrior to boost his overall campaign experience? He has lvl 35 warrior with 1 ascendancy titan. He has problem with last boss of 2nd act normal. I can buy some items for his with exalts etc. but idk what to buy from site. Please advice. He likes to just GO IN and spam some 1,2 skills and he dies because of no kiting.

[merry bone]

unfortunately youve not provided any real information to go off of.

They need a good weapon, and gear with life and resistances

[static plinth]

Whats his lightning res

If he's stuck on Jamanra thats probably what he's lacking

Has he done all the side quests that give permanent resistances or life

[mental hull]

does this work for the same skill? like if i use the detonating lighting arrow skill with damage supports, except 1 version doesnt have scattershot??

[lost obsidian]

is it better to put a resistance rune to my gloves to get it from 71% to 75% or should I just keep it at 71% and put an iron rune so I can juice more evasion and energy shield?

[merry bone]

The Ev/ES rune is a % increase - so if the gloves have low base EV/ES - then the % increase is most likely negligible. If they have high prefix rolls for ES/Ev then its a different story

[static plinth]

Man, Grim Feast is busted when you arent chunking yourself for 150 ES every skill use

We dont have any ES regen outside of Zealot's Oath, right?

[hollow sparrow]

does fireflower ignite also damage my minions?

[merry bone]

Fireflower does not ignite - it simply does Fire dmg to you - when you ignite

[lost obsidian]

idk if this is considered low or not xd

[hollow sparrow]

Does that self damage also hurt my minions I mean

[merry bone]

Nope - minions arent impacted by dmg you take

well i guess your dog takes some because of the dmg shifting - but thats for all dmg

[hollow sparrow]

Then why don't my raging spirits proc Cast on Death?

or very rarely at least

[merry bone]

the minion has to die - not expire

[hollow sparrow]

is there a way to make them die faster?

[merry bone]

if you arent running a minion instability setup - chances are your SRS are expiring or being overwritten as opposed to dying

[static plinth]

Infernal Legion support

[hollow sparrow]

I do have infernal legion as support gem, but they're still barely dfying

[merry bone]

Did you take the passives that give your minions elemental resistances?

[hollow sparrow]

Nope

[thorny token]

ppl use fireflower with necro talisman to kill their shit faster

[merry bone]

if you take that - then the fireflower conversation changes completely

[dry reef]

how come double offering isn't used more often for minion builds? It seems to be a small investment for 40% increased damage

[charred pecan]

Hello guys im level 52 gemling legionnaire i want to know the quarterstaff build skill treee please

[merry bone]

2 minions taken out of the fight im guessing

[digital axle]

anyone tested infernal legion support? does it work properly?

[hollow sparrow]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/6g5nb0mo Following this guide and that doesn't seem to run it either, but his minions are still dying

[merry bone]

and you ahve feeding frenzy in?

[dry reef]

yeah, 1 more skeleton warrior doesn't seem like a big deal

for 40% increased damage

[hollow sparrow]

Yeah

[merry bone]

does your sceptre have Purity of Fire as an implicit?

[hollow sparrow]

No, what does that do

[merry bone]

would give your minions fire resistance

does your sceptre have discipline as an implicit?

[twilit pivot]

Does anyone know if life remnants on Blood mage can be corrupted? and if it can be, does me refunding the perk that gives it to me reset the corruption?

[hollow sparrow]

using this one rn

[merry bone]

yea no idea - if you have infernal legion and feeding frenzy - and havent taken any minion resistance nodes - they should be dying quick

[hollow sparrow]

could being in a party mess it up?

[merry bone]

does your party have any sceptres with those modifiers on it?

[thorny token]

he does

[hybrid ocean]

I've been wondering if you could have a group of Chonks wielding these and performing some kind of circle jerk with increased leech effect

[thorny token]

in the linked vid in the guide

the planner is just wrong

[static plinth]

So ive got a weird bug and i was hoping someone could corroborate

Rolling/Blinking while in a Sigil of Power with Infernal Flame allocated seems to give it all 4 stages at once

[hollow sparrow]

ah, was just looking at the planner. I guess that explains it then, thanks

Thanks

[merry bone]

thanks - i was really digging in the depths to figure out what was up once i saw the planner hadnt taken it./

Feel like if Maxroll is going to house Random pepoples builds there needs to be a way that other users can flag things for review by the originator. Because thats a big god damn oversight

[tidal copper]

If i got base lighting dmg on my weapon then my ability does lighting dmg yes? Even if its lets say a fire skill

[thorny token]

i mean its just like sharing build on pobb.in etc noone really needs to veto that

[hollow sparrow]

Thanks for the help :)

[merry bone]

Typically yes - but always best to be specific - what skill?

[tidal copper]

Molten strike

[static plinth]

I swear this wasnt a thing before

[merry bone]

true - but i think Maxroll is trying to be a repository people can go to - they need more guard rails than Pobb.in just due to the difference in approach

[queen mountain]

What is a good build for someone with poor hand-eye coordination? Minion/AOE spells/auto targeting builds are what worked in POE1

[merry bone]

minions it is

[thorny token]

well they have their build creators for that thats separate from the planner right

as soon as pobb.in will start working for poe2 and pob2 will be out noone will use the maxroll planner anyway

outside of them

so i think its fine

[merry bone]

assuiming you meant blast. then yes. It does 153% ATTACK damage -

[tidal copper]

neat! I want to use this weapon i think my new build idea is less awful than the last

not like that was difficult but still

[dawn thistle]

is there something wring with perfect strike. I have the passive that makes my attack never miss and I hold it until my char glow and my mouse is right on the mob and im at melee range but it often doesnt hit

[merry bone]

So heres the thing..... that weapon seems like total trash... It adds Maximum Lightning dmg - equal to power - with a cap of 500.

So lets assume - you are always at cap. That weapon now does 1 - 580 Lightning dmg. Even if you get a BIS Attack Speed roll - its only like a 500 DPS weapon. Which looking at 1H maces - you can beat for like 20 exalts

[thorny token]

its most likely going over mob head and missing it completely, try standing a bit further away i guess

[eager gazelle]

Is there a Grenade build with good damage and not a glass cannon with 2.5k life or so?

[merry bone]

2.5k life is a high life build in the current state of the game

[dawn thistle]

and on my monk all I have to do is press the attack and it teleport to the mob, fuck warriors I guess

[tidal copper]

you are not seein the synergy here!
i got the shield that doubles accurarcy that 400 accuracy +150% from tree * 2 or 1200 ACC that becomes AS at 250% rate
I also ignore crit dmg as all dmg is lighting i can use lucky strikes wich increases dmg by a whole 33% with a range this wide
A rare weapon will be better for sure but i dont think is awful

[merry bone]

Just dont waste GCPs qualitying Molten blast - since it only gives fire exposure 🙂

[tidal copper]

True

good note

[merry bone]

ok - so what ascendancy?

[worldly trail]

So all modifiers to damage, is only applied after conversion is done, if one has conversion. For example lightning to cold conversion. Only increases in cold work, NOT lightning, correct?

[hybrid ocean]

So you're taking falcon dive?

[merry bone]

Oddly enough - i feel like witch hunter wouldnt be bad

[eager gazelle]

because there is no life at all, that is for sure

But you will get oneshotted always with that small pool

[hybrid ocean]

I'm really hoping that one of the upcoming patches sees single damage generally get lowered

[tidal copper]

Im too lazy to level anything
Im doing pathfinder again
If you are starting to think is a good idea think again cause molten blast has a stupid one hand animation so im pretty sure its bricked to boot
If i were to choose ascendency maybe ill do gemling to dex stack every point of dex is 5 ACC if you stack like 400 dex you are at 2000 ACC and if you are gemling 4000

[hybrid ocean]

Game feels way too weighted in favor of one shots

[merry bone]

hahah nah - just messing around in SSF myself waiting for patch. 3 90+, 3 70-80, and 3 or 4 sitting in their 40's on trade.

[wintry knoll]

i wish there were more spells that were good to use on monk with On Cast skills 😦

[merry bone]

Neversink just launched Filterblade for POE2

[deep knoll]

can anyone send me a good ranger(deadeye) build with lightning there are so many idk wich is good or not

[eager gazelle]

Why would you want that much of accuracy if the tooltip says it is 100% ?

Or that estimated chance is a lie?

[blissful lintel]

does eldritch battery add your energy shield number to mana number or does it remove your energy shield

[tidal copper]

Also if you didn't read above you can double again with increased accuracy from tree and double again with a shield at that point just dexterity would be...
8000 16000/250?
Sounds dumb

[eager gazelle]

aahhhhhhh

[mortal cloak]

Ice Strike build using Charged Staff, anything I can add to HoC to improve ?

[merry bone]

Heightened Curse? Hexbloom?

[brave mica]

Does anyone know if the +bow dmg interaction with the poison concoction ranger build has been patched or nerfed ?

[merry bone]

not yet

[tidal copper]

Balance patch comes in a week from now approx
They'll not nerf +projectile skill either but the %dmg with bow skills if anything

[brave mica]

Ok thanks guys

[wintry knoll]

is es/eva hybrid helmet better for monk or just es better?

[outer lion]

What's better? Two Blackflame Amethysts or one Blackflame and one Cracklecreep?

Blackflame is a bit of a double edged sword. With two you get 100% increased magnitude with 100% decreased duration

Also, does Ignite dmg trigger Herald of Ash?

[merry bone]

HoA is trigged from overkill dmg - and causes an ignite

[worldly trail]

So all modifiers to damage, is only applied after conversion is done, if one has conversion. For example lightning to cold conversion. Only increases in cold work, NOT lightning, correct?

[outer lion]

Can ignite cause overkill is my question

It would be an interesting cascade/proliferate effect

[merry bone]

has to be an attack that causes the overkill

ignite isnt an attack

[outer lion]

Dang, lol

So Cracklecreep makes Herald of Ash obsolete

[mortal cloak]

Oh nice heightened curse of course, I don't see hexbloom?

[merry bone]

also scaling an ignite to overkill a mob by 20% of their life in a single tick..... eh.... you probably wouldnt give a shit about HoA at that point

[outer lion]

Got it, so it's better to smack Cracklecreep and Blackflame instead

[outer lion]

Now, can ignite scale off of crit?

[merry bone]

it scales off the hit

[outer lion]

Got it, so you crit with fire and then the fire is calculated

[mortal cloak]

ty sir

[merry bone]

Right - ignites cant crit - but if the hit that causes the ignite crit, it will increase the base dmg of the ignite

[outer lion]

Nice, I'm just brainstorming a fire titan build that dual wields the ember Greataxe

[merry bone]

sorry - you're brainstorming an idea for a weapon type that we may not see for months?

[outer lion]

Oh damn, lol

[static plinth]

We dont even have Axe skills yet

[outer lion]

Didn't know that XD

Smithing hammer it is!

[mortal cloak]

Using Tempest Bell for my Ice Strike Charged Staff Gemling. I mostly use it for AoE clear/stun tanky-dangerous mobs and to quickly get charges for charged staff. Any suggestions for improvement on support gems to better fill this role? Possibly the 5th attack stun replaced with something else? I attack so fast I bet the single increased stun buildup is enough to serve it's purpose but still testing this build as I just switched over two days ago.

[outer lion]

Unless there's a better weapon of choice for a fire build

Which I wouldn't doubt

[merry bone]

those are some very odd supports for tempest bell

why are you trying to stun - when you are playing Ice strike and are just going to freeze?

[wintry knoll]

pretty sure the stun one is a recommended one lol

[mortal cloak]

Stuff doesn't instantly freeze, bell stuns in an aoe and instantly gives me charges for charged stuff from stunning when I place it, it's place in the build is typically a form of cc/aoe and debuff so the stun works well in this case as added utility on top of better filling it's typical role.

[mortal cloak]

Yea I've seen it on like 4 different build guides 😄

Also it's extremely useful from my experience so far

Any time I see a threat I bell and it gets stunned and I hit so fast that the aoe shockwave stuns everything around me

I'm virtually god inside the bell aoe range

with the leech as well on it

[wintry knoll]

i meant its recommended on the support skill screen in game, so people just blindly follow it lol

[merry bone]

but why not just make the bell multiply your dmg and kill everything instead?

[mortal cloak]

It all ready does

If anything is within bell range it gets melted

[merry bone]

ok

[mortal cloak]

The stun just helps for like bosses and CC and gives me charges for charged staff super reliably if I'm not freezing

I need to figure out how to freeze more, it's not bad in general like T10-T13 is ok but T15/16 juiced stuff doesn't get froze as much

[merry bone]

that entire statement confuses me though - why wouldnt you be freezing reliably? And if its a boss - you should have had enough charges for your staff to be up the whole time

[mortal cloak]

There's mods that make the mobs have higher ele threshold and resistance?

And if you do less dmg stuff doesn't get frozen as often

[tardy dust]

which one is better ?

[meager kayak]

@tardy dust the woe spell quarterstaff is probably awesome. i am mage so i dont know much about physical builds but your physical damage is over 100+ and "+6 lvl to all melee skills" makes this weapon worth more, you can sell it for more.

[pearl sluice]

Hey chat, question, %spell damage+%light damage on a wand is better than %on one of them? For example 80% spell + 80% light better than 150% on one of them?

[sage tulip]

hey I was thinking of doing a attribute stacking build and using the staff but wondering what to put into the sockets, someone suggested the attack speed core but since I am using the chest piece I think that is a bit redundent is there anything else that might be a good idea ?

[queen mountain]

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/frostferno-witch-hunter-fearless-dumbo?weaponSet=set1&widgets-state=eyJmN2Q4MjEwMi03ZTc3LTRhNDQtYWQyNC0zM2I2N2U4YWU3YmYiOnsiZmlsdGVycyI6eyJhY3RpdmVWYXJpYW50SWQiOiJlOWQ3MWY2ZC03MzI0LTRhYjgtOWRmYS00ZDA2NzNhMGFjZDgifSwidHlwZW5hbWUiOiJOZ2ZEb2N1bWVudENtV2lkZ2V0Q29udGVudFZhcmlhbnRzVjEifX0

[hasty tangle]

why am I getting slowed during Incinerate with Wanderlust boots on?

[tidal copper]

What else can i use with molten blast?...

[shrewd kernel]

Can someone smarter than myself explain how would I correctly chain heralds using Three Dragons and Whisper of Brotherhood?

[bold remnant]

How can I improve this build? Single target is noch got on bosses

[pearl sluice]

ur skill gems dont constitute anything near enough to give advice

all i can say is "get more links"

and we dont even know what gems they are

[modern tangle]

would you go with a bow like this, that has 24% to crit dmg bonus, or rather one that has way more phys, like in the 2nd screenshot? I'm playing a crit LA deadeye

[twilit pivot]

anyone in here know how fast metabolism works?

[orchid acorn]

Is there cold shield skills? I mainly see fire based ones

[kind crest]

The crit one

[modern tangle]

unless I guess the upgraded bow has slots open for crit right?

[kind crest]

Yeah

[modern tangle]

damn thats tough, most ppl destroy even the crit/crit bonus bows with phys runes

[topaz talon]

If I hit a mob inside my curse zone, do I pay more mana for my skills or only the one time I activate the curse?

[hot steppe]

what kind of runes do i put on the "the vile knight shielded helm" as a Invoker Monk?

[viral crag]

I'm not sure how the two are related.

[sinful sonnet]

guys, havent u seen some latest frost mages infernalist guide?

im lvl 89, need inspiration for upgrades

[eager gazelle]

Thanks, I will check it

[hybrid ocean]

Are there any accessible sources of % physical damage reduction?

[eager gazelle]

Shield is the first thing that comes to my mind

[hybrid ocean]

Yeah, seems to exist as a mod for those

Not really accessible if using a two hander though

Hollow Hewn mask seems to be about the only other way to come by it

And this supposedly

[eager gazelle]

What is Devotion? x' D

[hybrid ocean]

But I have no clue what a devotion is or how to get it

[eager gazelle]

Ah nvm it is from Templar it says

[hybrid ocean]

Ah, so the answer to "what is devotion" is that it isn't.

[eager gazelle]

I was about to ask

But with the icon picture and the name of Devotion... It indicates what is also written x' D

[hybrid ocean]

So still doomed to get one shot by big physical hits it seems

[atomic halo]

https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1228412901027741786

read this

it has nothing to do with templar

[eager gazelle]

Energy Shield is the solution to all problems

You can get a big big pool of Energy Shield without any effort

[atomic halo]

... although i'm not sure if the appropriate timeless jewel is in the game yet, so i guess it's the same conclusion at the end

[hybrid ocean]

Yeah, I know

[tidal copper]

Does Volcanic Fiasure work with Shockwave Totem??

[eager gazelle]

Playing pure Life on this actual state of the game feels stupid

[hybrid ocean]

I just wish that this were not the case

[viral crag]

... was there a time where pure life felt good to play in poe?

[atomic halo]

progenesis

petrified blood

[hybrid ocean]

Got one-shot earlier with like 40% of damage taken from mana before life, 2k of each and 550 ES

[eager gazelle]

Well, you could get a good pool of Life since there exist % Life nodes

[atomic halo]

those are tools that existed in poe1 that dont in poe2

[jaunty flame]

do you guys think the sekhema's resolve rings are viable to use in terms of resistances AND damage? I'm not sure what jewel i would need to slot to beat a breach ring

[hybrid ocean]

So like about 4k EHP

Poof

[eager gazelle]

My monk has 7.6k ES at Hideout and doubles it on maps

Sometimes I've got a hit of 10-12k

[hybrid ocean]

Grim feast yeah

I really really wish the game revolved less around one-shots, and more around some degree of attrition

Like if a big hit just disabled/impaired recovery for a bit, and you had to not get hit by another one for 30 seconds

[eager gazelle]

Acording to one tweet from Empyrian, Jonathan stated that there wont be oneshots on the endgame and they will fix them if they occur

I feel stupidly lied

[hybrid ocean]

Hopefully this will change

[eager gazelle]

5 years of develpment for this is quite funny

[hybrid ocean]

I'd like for things to be more hectic, more difficulty and more stuff to dodge is cool

[hybrid ocean]

5 months for the end game, in fairness

The campaign is excellent

[viral crag]

I feel like I would just never die if this were the case 😦

[hybrid ocean]

Well, one would package such a change with more frequent and/or less avoidable attacks

Start taking some clips of your one-shots to the forums then

[tidal goblet]

Does anyone have a good guide for a good Warrior build for Map clearing? I want to respec my current warrior.

[eager gazelle]

Kripp's Ghost Titan it is amazing

I have over 9k ES and 75% Block Chance, I feel immortal

[tidal goblet]

Going to take a look at it

[eager gazelle]

If you want it faster, take a Polcirken and Herald of Ice

[tidal goblet]

TY!

[eager gazelle]

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/kripp-ghost-es-slammer-titan

[eager gazelle]

With Polcirken I have 8.7k ES and 589 STR

But the clear speed is x1000 faster

[tidal goblet]

Are there any unique you’d recommend?

[eager gazelle]

I wouldd say Ingenuity because it boost the STR you could get from rings but not mandatory

Also Ghostwrithe is the piece of the cake here

[inland cipher]

I bought currency for cosmetics and didn’t receive anyone else having issues??

[eager gazelle]

Not sure if the right channel

[storm willow]

are they buffing warrior tomorrow?

[radiant cradle]

how

im struggling with surviving i need some tips

[eager gazelle]

Class and build?

[radiant cradle]

pathfinder concoction

so right side of passive tree

[eager gazelle]

Get hybrid gear

Eva+ES

[radiant cradle]

should i be getting defensive stats on stuff like rings and amulets?

i dont know how to get energy shield apart from armor+helmet

[eager gazelle]

Spectral Ward and Subterfuge Mask can be your best friends

[eager gazelle]

Evasion+Energy or Energy nodes

Also jewels

[radiant cradle]

looks like this atm

evasion feels not good tbh

[eager gazelle]

You can also add Acrobatics

But I don't really know if that even works

[radiant cradle]

then evasion drops down wayy low and feels even worse

i had acro at 84% and 3k es last build but it still felt bad

cause whenever i get hit through the evasion i just die

[outer lion]

Does having two instances of -50% duration set your duration to zero seconds?

Like having two Blackflame Amethyst rings?

[sage tulip]

What would be the best runes or cores to use on pillar of the caged god

[sage tulip]

If your doing evasion acrobatics is a must since it allows you to evade everything.

[outer lion]

Subterfuge mask mentioned, let's go!!!

[dusty rock]

Whats the strongest crossbow?

[stiff hinge]

Does Magnified Effect work with Blasphemy?

[thorny token]

yes

[stiff hinge]

Does Alpha's Howl apply to Blasphemy?

[thorny token]

presence is specific wording so it shouldnt no

[mortal cloak]

I think I have officially discovered the best Gemling Stat Stacker Passive Tree

[outer lion]

My eyes, so.. many.. stat nodes

[mortal cloak]

The entire point of the build is to maximum attributes and crit

[pine stream]

Should I be aiming to get 75% chaos in the end game? Or can like 50% get me pretty far?

[atomic halo]

50% is fine

depends on your life/es split

[pine stream]

I’m actually nearly 50/50 split

[warped jackal]

did anyone find out how you can scale the warbringer corpse explosion damage?

^does this count as "Spell", "Warcry" or anything else at all?

currently i just try to get physical dmg nodes so that gets stronger (or at least i hope it does lol)

bcs i thought that it's probably not an attack node at least.

[carmine flicker]

Is pure summoner build any viable atm?
Like mass reavers or mass arsonists

[undone peak]

infernalist with arsonists is one of the strongest infernalist builds so yes

it's a good starter and good bosser, but doesn't have good clearspeed in the endgame

[thorny token]

i mean what other kind of summoner is there lul

doing multiple minion types is still garbage even in this game pretty sure

if you dont count clerics

[carmine flicker]

Tired of dd
Want smth lazy af

So arsonists or reavers?
Also srs needed or waste of focus?

[thorny token]

srs is probs fine for its reservation, you are gonna be spamming flame wall anyway most likely

[carmine flicker]

What for?
Buff arsonist projectiles?

Also cold and/or lightning mages skellies complete trash?

[coral minnow]

Noob question -i play Monk Invoker, i have 23% increased cold damage in my ring and im thinking to buy a new ring with adds # to # cold attack let say around 15 to 25 does my damage will be lower or is it much better just to get % increase cold damage again on my next ring purchase? Thanks in advance

[thorny token]

yea

i think ppl play the frost mages on high investment but their damage is bad thats why it requires the high investment part :d

[stiff hinge]

actually ice mages and snipers are the best ones imo

[ornate mortar]

u dont get oneshotted without full cap resis + no evasion or shield?

[mortal cloak]

im almost full capped but yea I do die easily, most the time I kill everything before it gets close though lol

[carmine flicker]

Why bother with them then?

[thorny token]

clear i assume

and freeze maybe?

freeze op

[ornate mortar]

what build u doing? i mean stat stacker for bow or staff

[lament trail]

This any good?

minus light radius ofc, which I already know is BiS

[warped jackal]

i really don't know if people play fire stuff, but if there is any archmage with fire that could be interesting

[thorny token]

well its staff so its automatically useless

[warped jackal]

unfortunately no spell level :/

[lament trail]

rofl

[floral helm]

So I'm working on a build and I need to know if this ring is talking about all incoming elemental damage, or is it talking about your spells, or all of the above?

They really did not clarify at all for it.

[atomic halo]

your damage, not incoming

[mortal cloak]

POTCG

[atomic halo]

it's not clear in a vacuum but it's clear if you've seen similar effects of either type

[floral helm]

All right thank you very much. I'm doing something very unique and I think this ring will help a lot with it. I just didn't want to go out of my way to get it and then have it not work XD

[tidal copper]

Do we have a way of generating endurance charges?

[floral helm]

I can't remember the name of the talent but it's the one that converts the different charges to other ones for instance frenzy charges become power charges.

I know that if you have that passive, then anything that generates power charges will give you endurance charges

[atomic halo]

yeah?

[tidal copper]

Which ones? PoE DB only mentions uh, endurance on armour break

[atomic halo]

there's a notable that gives one on heavy stun

[tidal copper]

This is intereting but i actually really dont want power charges and im too far from the key stone anyways

[floral helm]

If you use the passive that converts them, there is a spirit skill that affects Dodge, I think it's illusion something. But when an enemy hits you're illusion you gain a power charge IE and endurance charge

You could always put it on a necklace if you don't want to run that far over on the passive tree

Unless you already have something allocated on your necklace

[atomic halo]

you cant anoint keystones

[tidal copper]

you cant annoint key stone

[floral helm]

Oh never mind then, as you can tell I'm still learning myself

XD

[tidal copper]

there was an unique jewel or something for it though?

i remember hearing about something like that

[atomic halo]

oh and magma barrier

a well-placed controlled metamorphosis could do it i guess (to grab the keystone)

end charge gen is pretty lacking, yeah

you'd have noticed if anyone actually used them

[tidal copper]

Thats sad
Skill speed will be good for my build but wasting 60 spirit on frenzies and in an aura to consume is not worth

Endurance charge where you at :(

[warped jackal]

i actually thought it's a cool addition not to have endurance charges to play a melee

now that they don't inherently do something it doesn't feel bad to just not go for charges

[thorny token]

well when the alternative is nothing its not so great

[warped jackal]

hm idk, i mean if you can take them with builds that have the right parameters to easily obtain them to use them there, that makes sense hm

for instance when you play anvil's weight you will break armor all the time anyways

[tidal copper]

Honestly it might not be that bad to get charges on heavy stun i consume one every 4 seconds i have 12 seconds to stun the boss and get another one...
And youll gain 12% more armour whats not to like (conditionally might get screwed by monster mods)

[livid dagger]

acrobatic is most useless node ever made. 75% still get oneshot outta nowhere

[thorny token]

almost as if acro does absolutely nothing against one shots as its avoidance lul

you have to layer your defenses

[undone peak]

acrobatics is extremely strong

[vivid wave]

can someone explain how 'glacial bolt' works? Sometimes it shreds and sometimes it does zero damage.

[warm peak]

best duo build/class to run alongside an ice strike monk?

[thin vortex]

Ok let's crash 3 times in a row lmao

4

5

[thin basin]

for unique jewels, can corrupting bricks them? ive seen those 0 radius controlled metamorph

oh wait actually its a rollable thing

so it prob got lowest * .80 huh

[dawn spire]

-Skeletal reaver warbringer
-Any lightning build
-some kind of chaos dot chrono that uses temp chains and maybe time freeze to keep stuff from ever moving

[thin vortex]

I saw that minion warbringer looks cool

[warm peak]

I've been playing deadeye and it just feels blah... especially with the LR stuff on rares and bosses feels very meh. I have a sorc somewhat geared (right at 3k mana with archmage) just feels like I'm like OOM super freaking fast and even small upgrade differences seems like prices shot up

[outer lion]

Just wanna ask again. Does having two Black Amethyst rings reducing your ignite duration by two 50%'s set your duration to 0 seconds, meaning you get no damage from ignite

[dawn spire]

What's the exact wording?

[undone peak]

You can use sources of increased ignite duration to get back over 0seconds

But it makes no sense to equip two of those rings imo

[outer lion]

50% reduced Ignite Duration on Enemies

[outer lion]

+100% ignite magnitude

[undone peak]

gaining 50% ignite magnitude is not going to be worth 50% reduced ignite duration

good to have one of them for the conversion effect

but the second one is so little value, if any

[outer lion]

Fair enough lol

[gloomy jackal]

Critical weakness adds to my spell's base crit chance right?

[undone peak]

yes

[gloomy jackal]

tyty

[toxic lynx]

Which one better for mercenary with galvanic build?

[undone peak]

almost certainly the pair on the right

[toxic lynx]

That +1 melee threw me off

[ornate mortar]

whats that?

[outer lion]

I'm confused, what's the dmg per second/tick for ignite?

[thorny token]

the ignite tooltip literally tells you that

[supple jay]

infernalist convert damage to fire doesnt work with ruby charm it seems

the hit has to be fire before conversion I assume

is corrupting controlled metamorph guaranteed to change the radius?

if the do nothing roll doesnt happen

[viral crag]

Any recommendations on something cute to add to my chaos bolt? Been having fun with it so far.

[ornate mortar]

oh staff

[ornate mortar]

what skill? tempest flurry?

[viral crag]

Currently on wildshards, blind, ricochet, and fork

[mortal cloak]

ice strike with charged staff

[ornate mortar]

i see

[scarlet lodge]

whats the best support gem for cast on crit melt boss?

acctualy switch for eye winter, comet, impetus and inspiration

but dont know if it's good enough

maybe switch back comet for sniper

?

[bronze skiff]

Is blink good on the monk ?

Or am I tripping

[eager gazelle]

POG

[dire arrow]

can I ask a basic question... how the hell is spirit calculated?

100 base spirit and a 54% increased sceptre = 254 spirit? How? What am I misunderstanding

[tidal copper]

thats a lot of spirit!

[pearl sluice]

modifiers on items arent to your total

its to the items total

thats what youre misunderstanding

[dire arrow]

if I put on a amulet that adds flat 43 spirit, my total goes from 254 to 297, which doesnt even make sense... that is just literally adding it

[pearl sluice]

i just explained it

[dire arrow]

oooo

I am dumb, and didnt even see the sceptre added a flat amount, and that is was the 54% increase was applying too

[tidal copper]

There are local and global modifiers
if the item has the relevant stat then the mod will be local and only apply in that item

[dire arrow]

thank you for pointing that out

[eager gazelle]

The only % Spirit is on sceptres and it only affect to that sceptre

[daring willow]

what’s better on a sceptre, +4 minion level or 36% more spirit?

[eager gazelle]

I still can't find a good Grenadier build with over 2.5k life or even hybrid Life+ES

[eager gazelle]

Both but I would say +level is more damage, but Spirit is more summons

[daring willow]

but doesn’t the minion level also effect the amount of spirit that each minion takes?

[pearl sluice]

+minion is by far better

its not even comparable

[daring willow]

awesome thanks

[tidal copper]

Maybe you could adapt Kripps armour to ES recharge idea to grenades

[pearl sluice]

btw this is a level 27 minion

and thats a 25

so the difference is massive

really massive

[eager gazelle]

Is not a bad idea, but Merc is too damn far away from those nodes compared to Warrior

[tidal copper]

size isnt everything

[eager gazelle]

Maye Eva+ES is the solution, but still far away from Merc

[daring willow]

this is very massive

[tropic pelican]

If I use an omen of amelioration it will just stay active until I die? Like if I die on the 10th map I do, it’ll activate then?

Or will only work for the instance I use it on?

The fine print confuses me lol

[thorny token]

it will stay in inventory

[tidal copper]

grenades happen to be inbetween armour and evasion right in the hybrid section
You will have to travel to get a non armour character
I will just accept the armour life its not thaaaaaat bad

[thorny token]

and get used when you die

[tropic pelican]

Awesome thanks Deathbeam

🔥

[thorny token]

also if its same as poe1 omens then only 1 omen can activate per zone

[tropic pelican]

Oh gotcha that’s what that means

[eager gazelle]

Few things are not same as PoE1 sadly x' D

[tropic pelican]

Thankyou

Sorry for derailing

[eager gazelle]

But one shotting still there and armor does nothing according to Kripp and others

The best survivality method is ES sadly

[frosty arrow]

Trying to figure out if there's some viable build to take advantage of Earthbound staff. Removing access to two item slots that could provide +ability levels seems rough

[eager gazelle]

The highest Life pool I have seen is +8k with over 1k STR investment

[tidal copper]

best yes

[eager gazelle]

Life needs a lot of love

Hmm what if... Chayula Monk with Flash Grenades? Instant ES and Mana Leech and it has some Extra Chaos Damage when it triggers

[limber lion]

i just switch to Everlasting Gaze azure amulet, but now i dont have enough spirit to get cast on freeze + archmage, what i can do to fix this?
i already have 50 from the chest, i change to azure amulet because my i need something to get shield using Edirch battery

[pearl sluice]

armor is really good against a bunch of small hits

the problem is the more damage a hit does the less effective your armor is against it

[bright path]

im following Ben_'s sparkmage guide and the gearing section shows a Rawhide belt (increases life gained from life flasks), but its a CI + EB + MoM build so my lfie is 1. Any idea why?

[pearl sluice]

which is why someone with 15k es can soak a 14k damage single hit but someone with 80% armor and 5k hp explodes

[bright path]

ill seeif his build has Eternal Youth

[eager gazelle]

Maybe he uses that

[bright path]

nope

eternal youth is in the bottom right here

[eager gazelle]

oh maybe he uses the unique belt

50% of Damage taken Recouped as Mana

[viral crag]

Oh. I forgot anoints are a thing. Have no idea what to grab for my build 😒

Literally just any notable anywhere?

[bright path]

I could probably never get his ear if there was a guide mistake either lol

[eager gazelle]

I don't know then 🤷‍♂️

Check his Twitch's VOD and try to snipe his inventory

[bright path]

good idea

thank you papi

[analog gale]

is dark effigy any good?

[viral crag]

What's your build?
It's the difference between "no" and "fine" lol

[pearl sluice]

like in the grand scheme of ways to deal damage?

not really

considering only witchs options its pretty low on the list

[analog gale]

dont have one

i just saw it and thought it was interesting

[pearl sluice]

totems r pretty bad

[viral crag]

Then it's tough to say. Without a decent volume of chaos dots on the target, it's disappointingly slow to fire.

[pearl sluice]

minions by far is the best way to deal damage on witch

[analog gale]

do you need to like apply a bunch of withered and poison to make it work?

[eager gazelle]

Minions are stupidly clunky to play since there is no Convocation and they die when you are 2m far from them

😐

[analog gale]

does it count like each poison you apply or do you need like a comorbidity support?

[viral crag]

Wither to boost the damage, but you need things like ED, Contag, and Decaying Hex to really get it firing.

Been a minute since I tested whether poison even counts for it.

Should go do that real quick lol

[analog gale]

it likely does

with it being a chaos dot

[viral crag]

I'm pretty sure I remember being disappointed.

You have to remember that things like this are usually a whitelist they had to intentionally add to, not just "is it dot" and "is it chaos damage" 😦

Oh good, poison does

Now I have to find what it was that didn't work with it.

But, beside the point.
If you plan on being heavy on chaos dots @analog gale personally I'm a big fan of it even though the quality doesn't work last I checked.

But if you're thinking like 1-2 dots on the target max, it's going to be pretty slow to fire and not really impactful.

[analog gale]

oh no my idea was to stack as many debuffs as possible

like you could use poison spreading to help with clearing or something maybe

[viral crag]

Then personally I'm a huge fan. I run it with envenom and withering touch, and once I get dots stacked that thing basically just vomits projectiles.

Very quick to place, very accurate. Highly recommend it

[analog gale]

Herald of Plague

[viral crag]

Really considering it, not sure I've got the spirit for it so haven't been able to try.

Worth a shot though!

[analog gale]

do you know if your maximum poisons matters?

[analog gale]

like this

[viral crag]

Oh, that's interesting.

One sec, I can currently adjust the build and stack up to 3 to test.

Have to go get poison gloves from another character lol

@analog gale I'll continue testing, but it's a very tentative "yes"

Stuff I'm trying now is dying too quickly, or too many mobs to see for sure.

But since it applies its own poisons it seems to be ramping up when the stacks get going.

I'll try like a comorbidity so it can get up to 4 stacks and it should be quite noticeable.

[eager gazelle]

Can someone explain me what Concentration does (Witchhunter Ascendancy) like I was 5 years old?

[analog gale]

dual wield molten blast seems really strong vs bosses

but its really awkward to use

it seems like the little projectiles shotgun

but they explode at a fixed distance not where you target

[eager gazelle]

I liked it but it is quite clunky because it always steps forward

[analog gale]

if it they exploded where you target then it would be a lot better

[analog gale]

that too

[tidal copper]

I usually buy a bad bow and find a hard mode boss to test

[analog gale]

it would be good if there was an option to step backwards

[eager gazelle]

Dodge roll? x' D

[viral crag]

Okay, I take it back. Once I found a boss to test on it was pretty clear @analog gale

Poison does count, but stacks don't matter.

[analog gale]

so poison just counts as 1?

[tidal copper]

they might add nimis at some point im using fire crack ability for single target instead of molten blast

[viral crag]

Correct. I could 4 stack a poison and it was as slow as 1.

One sec I'll get you a picture lol

3 stack poison vs 3 dots

Like 3 stack poison couldn't get a second projectile in the air even at that distance, 3 dots is chaining multiple nearly point blank.

[lament sentinel]

hey guys does anyone know if detonate dead's physical damage portion is affected by bonuses such as gain x% of damage as fire damage?

[analog gale]

does stacking wither work?

or is it the same?

[viral crag]

I don't understand the question.

[analog gale]

withered is a debuff that increases chaos damage taken

[viral crag]

The stacking portion

[viral crag]

I'm not sure what you're asking about it

[viral crag]

If you're just asking if it's working (completely reasonable question, we have a lot of chaos bugs lol)

[analog gale]

so if you could apply 10 stacks of withered hopefully it would fire 10 times

but i doubt it would considering poison didnt

[viral crag]

Oh. It doesn't count wither, as far as I know

[static plinth]

Wither isnt a chaos DoT (this is about Dark Effigy right?)

[viral crag]

It is not a damage over time ability

[analog gale]

ah right

[static plinth]

Okay yeah it is

[analog gale]

it specifies chaos dot

i thought it said chaos debuff

[static plinth]

Essence Drain, Contagion, Decaying Hex, Poison, Vine Arrow are the options you have

Wait and Profane Ritual

But thats annoying

Blackflame ignites dont count

[viral crag]

Don't even run it myself 😒

[analog gale]

might just wait for ggg to release a more convenient totem

[viral crag]

Yeah, was disappointed about that but the tooltip makes sense I guess

[static plinth]

Also, Contagion spreads Poison which is fun

[viral crag]

It's great lol

Refreshes duration too iirc

[static plinth]

yup

[analog gale]

i feel like theres gonna be something you can do with ancestral bond and this eventually

[static plinth]

Doesnt work

For some god forsaken reason

[tidal copper]

You could use the quiver for chaos DMG to freeze and hexblast

[analog gale]

it might not be counting the ancestral bond reservation as coming from a skill

[static plinth]

-7 spell levels, though?

Id just get chaotic freeze and accept not having Electrocute

[viral crag]

Confused, why? We can easily get all chaos damage to freeze

[analog gale]

hopefully its a bug that will get fixed

[viral crag]

I really want to fit electrocute in this build, just can't seem to do it without giving up a ton.

[tidal copper]

It's for the second weapon set
It has a quill rain the quiver and vine arrow
For the main hands hexblast poison

[viral crag]

Wait, can you share the items? Lol

[analog gale]

ggg should make it so dual wielding these causes two aftershocks

i can be trusted with two guaranteed aftershocks

[tidal copper]

Quill rain is just a fast attack speed bow
Just good to throw two vines and swap

[viral crag]

It's funny to me, I'm just curious where the hexblast ties into this.

[pearl sluice]

idk beyond reach is beyond trash

[viral crag]

I mean, what else am I doing with my offhand in a pure chaos dot build? lol

[pearl sluice]

im willing to bet an offhand swap to do a curse would be better then trying to make use of that

elemental curses add tons of dps

[viral crag]

What curse would you even get a weapon to apply for dps?

[fading coral]

I see a lot of people using storm wave on monk instead of glacial cascade, I am primarily using ice on my monk and I'm unsure which of the two I should use. I feel like glacial cascade would be better but idk if maybe theres something I'm not realizing?

[pearl sluice]

idk i dont think theres a chaos one

[merry bone]

Glacial cascade has positional requirements

[tidal copper]

Hexblast is on the main hand for big poison
You get two vine arrows quick and It multiplies your DMG
The quiver is just extra in case you want to freeze enemies
Wait will vine arrow freeze if you use this quiver????

[viral crag]

There is, it's called Despair, and you better already have it on main as chaos dot lol

[fading coral]

ahh they have to be on the very end I see thank you!

[amber wharf]

How come I have 3 jewels that give "Gain 10% of maximum energy shield as additional stun threshold" But I seem to have 0 stun protection

[pearl sluice]

plenty of setups swap their skills when they swap weapon setups to empower their curses

squeezing whatever you can out of it is huge

[bright path]

Can someone tell me what Ben is telling me here? im really new and didnt want to ask him a million questions

how do i do archmage in 1 set and blink in another

[static plinth]

Weapon swap keybind is X by default

[pearl sluice]

just set a weapon swap

[merry bone]

Use the arrow to expand the skills.

Uncheck/check the weapon set

[pearl sluice]

and go to ur skills then click the arrow

[bright path]

im BLIND AS FUCK

I SEE IT NOW

[pearl sluice]

check "active on set 1" off then check active on set 2 on

[bright path]

you all are saints

thank you so much

[pearl sluice]

tbh its insanely cursed

[bright path]

you saying its un-intuitive? cause im inclined to agree

ill have to get used to the weapon swap thing

[merry bone]

no you dont

just set an ability to only be used with each weapon and it auto swaps

[frosty arrow]

it swaps weapons for you, just have abilities on your tab

[sage tulip]

So I was wondering does the passive where your health is one but immune to chaos damage still allow High Alert to work ?

[viral crag]

For the low price of a couple alch, we're about to find out

[merry bone]

yes 1/1 is full life

[sage tulip]

alright thank you

[bright path]

holy shit i had no clue

[viral crag]

I'll be honest, I only found out about it today as well lol

[merry bone]

SO go through and set evertyhing you want to nly be used with the main weapon to weapon set 1

[viral crag]

Like I never considered the implications of what those checks do.

[merry bone]

Im very much hoping they nerf blink on weapon swap somehow tomorrow. Otherwise it is just a build requirement 100% of the time - and now all the cool weapon swap shit they created is irrelevant

[viral crag]

@tidal copper Bit new to bow stuff, any reason for Vine Arrow over Gas Arrow in this case?

[tidal copper]

Vine arrow will do DMG equal to poison that it gets

[viral crag]

Ah, there we go.

Hexblast, big poison, big vine.

[tidal copper]

So if your quiver bow is for support you won't has arrow

I have tried this and it was terrible but I'm also too poor to invest properly

[viral crag]

Now I just need weapon set gem slots like how we split our passives. I am far too full for this.

[tidal copper]

You can poison with something else
Hexblast is just for the memes
Try to use vine with quiver freeze

• Any poison main hand in theory it might freeze as it was launched with freeze quiver yes?

[viral crag]

Oh, this is just already naturally part of my build lol

Hexblast poisons.

[tidal copper]

It is? Damm another lost soul

[viral crag]

Yeah. Just messing around and enjoying myself. Chaos dot/poison chrono

[tidal copper]

Neat! I was trying embrace of shadows I think it's called

Skill effect duration doesn't really work for poison though does it?

[viral crag]

Monk thing?

[viral crag]

Wouldn't expect so, unless the poison has a duration set within a skill effect.

[tidal copper]

Of shadows maybe in wrong wait

[viral crag]

Ritual of Shadows Timeless?

[tidal copper]

@viral crag

[sage tulip]

wasnt there a way to make the energy shield your health bar just curious ?

[viral crag]

Oh, that's cute.

[tidal copper]

I really don't know what to make of it I tried archmage and evasion/ES but your HP is low you are too weak

[viral crag]

Yeah, I'm not seeing it as something I would use, but it sounds like a funny hexblast thing to try.

[finite bear]

for people that play skeletal arsonists is the concentrated effect support gem a trap due to the small aoe size? is it like boss only?

[viral crag]

Like I'm on Event Horizon and can pretty easily drain my health already.

[merry bone]

trap for big clearing - not a trap for st

[finite bear]

what's st?

[merry bone]

single target

[finite bear]

ahh ok

whats the ideal 5 link setup? just swap something else during clearing and swap in for st fights?

also does that mean i should be valuing the area of effect nodes more?

[merry bone]

inevitably every build seems to drop the aoe nodes - but early on before you get more +levels and good jewels I think they are pretty good

as for links - every guide you look at is doing something a bit different depending on where they are using other supports

[distant tendon]

so nobody here has a witch class?

a witch build for infernalist

[merry bone]

huh?

[distant tendon]

whenever i ask if someone has a build nobody respondes

[finite bear]

fair enough! i'll play around with it. I just punted an 82 breachstone cause i couldnt clear fast enough

[merry bone]

because if you wabnt just a build - there are literally 100 of them out there for you to choose from

[finite bear]

is there a good page to look up high level builds?

[viral crag]

It's a channel for planning and theorycrafting, not a search engine 😦

[distant tendon]

idk which ones r good

[merry bone]

Maxroll, Mobalytics, Youtube

[viral crag]

If you want an infernalist build for poe2, type that into google and I'm sure you will find plenty of results.

[finite bear]

im just getting to the point of really fine tuning it so every little bit helps

[distant tendon]

its all just oh demon mode

[merry bone]

no its not lol

Regardless though - Maxroll and Mobalytics each have a sponsored guide section that goes through each of those sites review process. They also allow randoms to create builds there - but if you use the official guides, you should be good to go

[tidal copper]

Or search for that niche creator In the depths of the forums abusing one small bug that will never get patched

[merry bone]

meh - Jung just gonna steal the idea tomorrow and make something that gets nerfed through the ground

[sage tulip]

So if I took mind over matter would this cause the damage I take to bypass my energy shield ?

[analog gale]

despair if your doing chaos damage?

[viral crag]

Absolutely.

Personally I'm on despair and temporal chains, but if I had to pick a single one Despair would probably be it.

[analog gale]

theres a little arrow on your skill menu next to each skill, its in the bottom right of that

nvm

[analog gale]

maybe you could use it with dark effigy?

because totems are set and forget so you wouldnt need to deal with the life costs as much

tho you would still need to put chaos dots on enemies

[tidal copper]

Totems and DoT don't get the benefit from added DMG

I believe so

[analog gale]

i dont see why the totem wouldnt get your added damage

might just be a case of needing a better totem skill

like one that doesnt rely on chaos dots

[frank hare]

Hi sorry, can anyone clarify how morior invictus works? Do the increases in stats from equipped skill gems (i.e. +X to spirit per socketed rune or soul core) only apply to socketed runes/cores on the chest itself or across all of your equipment?

[atomic halo]

only socketed in the chest

[frank hare]

Aw

Thanks!

[tidal copper]

Maybe, you could try always have extra gold for trying dumb stuff

[viral crag]

I've not tested it myself, but they should get all the good stuff

[viral crag]

Like I said at the start though.
If you're not on pure chaos dot, it's bad.
If you are, it's fine lol

[mossy galleon]

does converting result in elemental conflux being active twice as often?

if you're going 100% fire to cold, would that mean you benefit from both fire and cold boosts?

[merry bone]

nope

[sage tulip]

is there anyway to convert strength into a different stat or have a different effect than giving life ?

[mossy galleon]

why not?

[merry bone]

because you only get benefit for the final dmg type

[mossy galleon]

gotcha ty

[tidal copper]

It can give ACC!
Or projectile DMG+spell DMG

[sage tulip]

thats how it use to be in poe1 but it made for some stupidly broken damage numbers so they removed that in poe2

[atomic halo]

it wasnt

idk why ppl are forgetting, but poe1 conversion only double dipped in the singular scenario of gain #% of ele damage as extra chaos, and nowhere else

[sage tulip]

you use to be able to double dip your damage types with conversion

ohh your right

[atomic halo]

yeah

[mossy galleon]

yes via iron grip or iron will

[sage tulip]

thats why I used 50% to fire damage not 100%

sorry been about 2 years since I played poe1 and forgot those small mechanics

[sage tulip]

thank you

[lament sentinel]

hey guys does anyone know if detonate dead's physical damage portion is affected by bonuses such as gain x% of damage as fire damage? what bonuses scale dd other than minion life?

[merry bone]

Gain x% of damage as fire effects everything that does dmg

[sage tulip]

ahh damn well iron grasp isn't an option for me since using a different chest piece but thank you

[merry bone]

Anythign that increases physical dmg scales DD - crit scales DD - My DD build adds Archmage so I do phys and lightning

can use DD to poison or bleed so you can scale those as well

[lament sentinel]

very nice, thank you very much kind sir

[merry bone]

Getting Brute life insanely high makes the base hit huge - so from there you just scale whatever you want really

[sage tulip]

trying to design my own stat stacker build but since making hp 1 then strength is a bit redundent to use since I wont have hp so trying to convert it into something else to gain the damage increase on the staff but still not waste the points really for hp growth

[mossy galleon]

that chest can work for either projectile or caster build

not sure if there are any other means to gain either trait

[pale cloak]

what dps bow do you need to proc herald chaining consistently for fubgun LA? I have enough cold mods on rings/quiver but still not proccing consistently at t14-t16. this is my current bow

[atomic halo]

110-206 does not look good

[merry bone]

thats like a 1ex bow at best - not sure its supposed to be auto chaining in T14-T16s

[atomic halo]

level 85 should really have much, much better.

[merry bone]

alright sorry - on that base its like 3ex

[pale cloak]

what sort of phys dps are we looking at to auto chain?

[merry bone]

you know whats funny - if you dont get it on that base - and just get an explicit +1 arrow instead - its cheaper.

[merry bone]

whats your budget?

Because the answer of "what sort of dps" is - Yes. because more is always better

the restriction will always be your budget

[pale cloak]

2 div

[sage tulip]

question does the number from 100-8000 matter ? also how can you tell what keystone your going to get ?

[merry bone]

This bow is kind of great and its sitting there at 1 ex, because it doesnt have runes in it, and it isnt on a dualstring base.

Budget builds are so available and people dont realize it

For real - id fucking buy this and throw 2 20% phys runes in it - https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Standard/6VWgrjXiG

I just looked at shit up to 2 div - and this bow will beat most of them lol

[grand girder]

Guys can you help me with my Monk please? I feel so squishy because my gear is terrible. I'm level 15. atm so I don't have access to a lot of skills, yet.

[merry bone]

at that level - only advice is really to keep going - go back and farm lower zones than whwere you are for currency you can use on your items to enhance them

you should have Ice strike at that point? Great skill - stacks freeze quickly to help you stay safe

[grand girder]

I just got Ice Strike yes

and Temptest Flurry and Tempest Bell

[merry bone]

At that level i encourage you to uuse Ice Strike - and then Bell on rares/bosses. Dont worry about Flurry

[swift root]

When is a good time to move into the "End Game" Build? Post campaign when you start maps?

[merry bone]

when you can afford it - most guide creators are gonna assume you are 80+

[grand girder]

Ok I understand, thanks for the help! :)

[atomic halo]

depends on build-enabling uniques and such

[swift root]

Thank you!

[atomic halo]

arguably archmage is already in the endgame build by the very first skill gem when they pick up spark

[swift root]

This build has no uniques. Which is weird bc a similar build has those op inque gloves

Looking at this when should I change over to this?

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/evcuu0hl

[cobalt sun]

Which spark weaver build is the best to follow just started

[swift root]

Wait thats the levleing guide. In that has a link to the end game guide

[merry bone]

thats a leveling build...

[swift root]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/tolch01z

[merry bone]

Can you afford the 5 and 6Ls? Are there requires uniques? Can you afford them? Do you have enough passive points to get all the key elements?

[swift root]

Sorry I linked the wrong one that is the leveling build same creator same "Build"

[merry bone]

You swap to it when you can afford to - that is using a 60 spirit chest and a +3 proj skill amulet

[swift root]

Damn I didnt even see the ammy

[merry bone]

and you dont need exactly that amulet or anything - but the end game build is for end game. Not early mapping

[sage tulip]

How do I know which Heroic Timeless jewel I need to get that strength to effect energy shield instead of health ?

[torpid zephyr]

Does Mobalytics have step by step passive tree on their build like max roll?

Just wondering if I missed it

[merry bone]

So this guide im looking at has this section here - where the guide actually flips - items/passives, everything.

at that point would be up to the creator to set it up im guessing

[orchid acorn]

Anyone selling a Howa gor cheap?

[formal violet]

Rule 6. No trading, begging, asking for 'loans', giveaways, tips for services, etc for any game. See #trading for alternatives.

[orchid acorn]

If these rules are gonna be enforcedz enforce them for everyone. Saw soneone buy a howa for cheap earlier, can show receipts

[merry bone]

are you arguing with the automod?

[warm ice]

so i gotta know, as a nearly first timer of poe2, is my skill tree ok? im only lvl 34

[atomic halo]

ive seen worse

those three energy shield nodes at the start aren't great

you always want to be pathing towards a notable

[warm ice]

[orchid acorn]

No

[merry bone]

You literally replied to the Automod..... just putting it out there

[atomic halo]

it's not automod, i sent a message to create the bot message

[merry bone]

oh damn - bloon smacking people down - even better

[atomic halo]

and wdym "can show receipts" lol, if you see rulebreaking behaviour report it on the spot

dont sit on your hands and wait until you do the same thing

the mods cant be everywhere at once

[merry bone]

Also - who is selling a HOWA cheap - when they can just sell it for market price in like 5 minutes

[vale bough]

anyone know where i could go to have something price checked for me?

[atomic halo]

#price-check📉 (but not to actually have ppl price check for you, to learn to do it yourself)

[floral helm]

Quick question, if we're looking for something specific for a build are we allowed to ask about it here regarding trades and whatnot?

[atomic halo]

your question is a little vague

but in general if you're asking anything other than "here's my item price check it please" we're happy to help.

we're not here to do your homework for you, but we'd be happy to teach you how.

[merry bone]

if you're looking for a specific item for your build - i assure you that the trade site has more available items than the few handfuls of people who are viewing this discord at any singular moment

[floral helm]

Okay I'll explain it like this, I asked earlier about the original sin amethyst ring. For clarification on the elemental damage etc. People are selling them on the website and I know how to search up things and purchase from people etc.

But my major issue currently is for the life of me I am having just one hell of a time trying to figure out how to post things on the website for me to sell them.

I know I need the premium stash tabs already have those. Already have items in mind that I want to sell. But when I only have my phone... Basically I'm a boomer and I'm smashing my head against a brick wall trying to learn how to do the selling thing XD

[merry bone]

Asking questions about how to sell items - is not the same as trying to trade here.

Place item in premium stash tab - make stash tab public - either price item individually - or price the whole tab

[atomic halo]

^ that, can you explain with which step you're having trouble?

[sage tulip]

is there a passive to give block chance to quarterstaffs ?

[merry bone]

dont think there are any nodes to GIVE block chance to anyone - just enhance block chance

[floral helm]

What?

The step I'm having trouble with is all of that... I'm on console, I never played POE. I only started playing with the early access of POE2.

So you just spoke a whole different language that I have no idea about.

[atomic halo]

well, it's a step by step process

you have the premium stash tabs, check, have you located them in your stash?

[floral helm]

Yes.

[atomic halo]

do you see how to set the stash tab to public?

[warm peak]

it's R3 + a directional button I believe

to rename, set to public, etc

[atomic halo]

im watching a video and it seems to be r3 + left

to set the price it's square

[cobalt sun]

Can someone help me with act 1 boss

Name is TyMeatrius

[warm peak]

so you'll hit R3 + left on the premium tab you want to put your stuff you're selling in. This lets you make the tab public. Then hit square on the item itself and set the price

[warm peak]

I'd ask in #2┃looking-for-group

[cobalt sun]

Oh shoot wrong one lol

[stone steeple]

Hello. Does anyone use poison pathfinder?

[merry bone]

whats up

[formal violet]

Rule 6. No trading, begging, asking for 'loans', giveaways, tips for services, etc for any game. See #trading for alternatives.

[hushed crypt]

didint see the trade my b

[viral crag]

Anything cute I could be doing with power charges as chaos dot besides the "Potential" support?

Only thing I'm really seeing is Powertread.

[merry bone]

summon big ass zombies?

[floral helm]

Yes thank you both!

It shows that those two buttons are used to edit the tab, but when you're playing on console. And you're 33, and your eyes are slowly going out because you're hitting that boomer age. I didn't know those buttons existed until I was like a foot away from my TV.

But thank you I figured it out I'm good to go I listed my things xoxo very much appreciated

[boreal orchid]

if my minion chill an enemy, does this node will count as i'm the one who chilled the enemy and this node will take effect? also does this node will effect raging spirit and arsonist fire bomb damage?

[tidal copper]

boots? those are better than they look

[merry bone]

Nope - you arent your minions. your minions arent you.

[boreal orchid]

thanks

[atomic halo]

golden rule of minions - a modifier must call out "minions" / "allies" to affect them

[merry bone]

You do realize that the last "boomers" were born in 1964.....

[viral crag]

Thought about it, but as chaos dot they really wouldn't be doing much for the gem slot lol

[boreal orchid]

so these fire nodes around here will also useless to my raging spirits?

[viral crag]

Yeah, currently I'm on the instant curse boots so I'm not terribly against it.

[merry bone]

correct

[atomic halo]

correct

[warm peak]

No problem! You’ll only have to set it public once. The square applies to each item you put in there to set the price once and then you’re good

[boreal orchid]

thank you

[floral helm]

Also just curious do people actually buy full tabs at a time? I mean I don't think I have that many things people would be interested in right this minute but maybe in the future

[merry bone]

nah - its just prices each item in that tab for the designated price

[atomic halo]

yeah you're not actually listing the entire tab as a single purchase

[viral crag]

It's useful when you have a common starting price for items (1ex in this league, 1c was a good example in the past)

Where you know a lot of things will go for that price, and you can just throw them all in that tab.

Then use a separate tab for all of your items that need specific prices.

[sage tulip]

Last question would the Heroic timeless jewel for strength to effect energy shield instead of health and mind over matter and eldritch battery be a good combo ?

[viral crag]

I'm not sure what kind of character would be using this, but it sounds like a lot of effort.

To basically make a melee get the same benefit towards mom/eb that a caster does naturally with int.

[merry bone]

No - that wouldnt work - b ecause EB makes your flat ES scale with % mana modifiers - not % ES modifiers

[viral crag]

I'm confused. I thought the timeless jewel change the flat health you gain from strength to instead apply to ES

[merry bone]

% ES - not flat ES

[viral crag]

If that's what it does, then yeah. Just flat out doesn't work.

[sage tulip]

well damn

[warm peak]

Yeah where you had the tab settings there’s an option to set each item price individually. That’s what you wanna do

People are always needing gear so anything you think you might be able to sell put it in there and list it

Exalted orbs are the most common currency so I’d start there

[stone steeple]

It seems to me that the Overwhelming Toxicity node is kind of a trap. The poison falls off so fast, it’s hard to even keep 3 stacks of poison on. The only skill I can see it working with is poison cloud

[sage tulip]

so no point of strength at all then I was thinking it would just give me a huge mana pool from STR to ES since it converted ES to mana then I would esecially have an endless mana pool but I guess not. so in this case best choice is to just get MOM and EB then CI and just focus on INT and DEX and get decent STR for the stat stacker build.

If Im understanding this correctly.

[velvet basin]

anyone know any particular reason my monk isn’t freezing well

and even increased freeze buildup in passive tree

but it’s still shit

[stone steeple]

Probably just raw damage.

[atomic halo]

^

[velvet basin]

is that bad for act 3

[merry bone]

are you struggling to kill things?

[hearty gust]

Considering I beat act 3 with 3 slots and like 200 damage lol no

[velvet basin]

jus with freezing mobs which fucks up my uptime on charged staff

[sage tulip]

So last question since my combo idea got debunked again, if I use that MOM, EB, CI combo then all I need is to boost mana regen and mana numbers then correct ?

Or remove MOM to use Circular Teachings to boost ES

Sorry was trying to remember CT name.

[merry bone]

I think someone said it. Im a fan of the experimentation - but when it comes to Stat Stacking, and the fact that there are so many required items. There really isnt alot of that build that isn't "figured out" at this point
