[pliant sleet]

hold up

[hybrid obsidian]

is the only way to both freeze and shock with 100% lightning converted to cold with three dragons?

[pearl sluice]

don't play shock play electrocute, problem solved tbh

[hybrid obsidian]

how do i electrocute with no lightning damgae?

[pearl sluice]

but if you want max freeze then yes I think that's the only way

are we talking Abt monk?

[hybrid obsidian]

spark stormweaver brother conversion

[astral badger]

I know that 100-150% increased rarity is ideal. Does this include waystone/tower alongside gear? I spent a ton making a great build but only have 50% increased rarity. So I’m wondering if the waystone modifiers make up for that

[pliant sleet]

something like thgis?

[pearl sluice]

ye well go for the supp gem that makes spark electrocute instead of shock

[pliant sleet]

only a couple levels off

[pearl sluice]

and use the debuff spell

[hybrid obsidian]

ok ill look into that ty

[pearl sluice]

that would really help you, add stun on the filter and see if you get one

[pliant sleet]

ok ty 🙂

[pearl sluice]

I had played both freeze and shock but I think pure electro with good supp gems / passive tree nodes on the debuff (forgetting name) are better

are you in maps or campaign?

[fervent briar]

Cj that is level 33. I don’t recommend trying to upgrade weapon to beat the boss. Your weapon should be alright to do it. You will want to learn that fight as it’s a citadel boss and you will only have 1 chance later so you want to ideally be skilled enough to survive. 5 minute fight with him

[inland vector]

hi.. just wondering.. does the "damge taken recouped as life" apply to builds with CI too?

[fervent briar]

Not as far as I know. Unless there is a mechanic that converts recoup somewhere

[merry bone]

it recoups life - which would then not be very valuable, as you are already 1/1 life - or you are dead

[sage gyro]

is there an easy way to filter 'from nothing' gems on market?

[inland vector]

oh damn so its a dead stat for me, then D:

i was hoping it would reduce my damage taken atleast haha

[neat flare]

Does corpse explosion scale with physical damage?

[pliant sleet]

thanks guys im gonna try a few more times

[vale heart]

Is dream fragments bis for every archmage build? Or could 2x good breach rings be better in some case

[fervent briar]

How would recoup reduce your damage taken In the first place

[fervent briar]

I believe

[ionic acorn]

can i get some recommendations for Charged Staff support gems?

[fervent briar]

Duration and chance to not use charge is what I used there was another but it’s been a while since I played monk

[inland vector]

very good point 😅

[dawn tusk]

hello guys pls i have a question

[ionic acorn]

yea, im using persistance and perpetual charge. those seem to be the most obvious choices. Wondering if there is anything else worth using for Charged staff

[dawn tusk]

does lightning rod gives a lot of dps ? like im thinking should i get lightning rod on my amulet for 6div or should i get a gear with that

im playing spark stormweaver currently near 50k zith my cast on shoc activated on my spark but i died on citadel i don't deal that much damage on single target

[foggy bloom]

hello, does anybody knows why is my blasphemy not working with temporal chains while it does work if I just put any other curse?

[fiery wave]

why does whirling assault so little damage compared to my quarter staff base attack

im pretty sure i used blasphemy and temporal chains before

[safe adder]

does path of building support poe2 yet?

[cedar parcel]

For the skill right?

[safe adder]

i heard some people last week saying poe2 support was soon

[ionic acorn]

yes, wanted to get some more support gems on Charged Staff. Dont know whats good or meta

[royal hamlet]

Hey, items names depends on level?

I mean normal items

I don't know what shield I want, cause I find different level than table xd https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/List_of_shields

[cedar parcel]

Besides the two you’ve already named. I’ve been liking conduction and primal armament if you want to look at either of those

[ionic acorn]

thanks, I think ill try out conduction

What are you using for Tempest Bell?

[fervent briar]

Do you have 2 curses on blasphemy

[foggy bloom]

no, only one

[gloomy jackal]

Is there a way to convert Staff phys basic attack dmg to cold or lightning?

[cedar parcel]

Overabundance, potential and rageforged. I got rage on tempest flurry to build rage for rageforged

[ionic acorn]

cool, potential sounds interesting

[cedar parcel]

Yea it’s really nice especially if you’re built into crit

[foggy bloom]

ok I figured out why
When you put a curse skill into Blasphemy, it reads the weapon set that the curse skill gem had or disabled (I or II)
So even if you set Blasphemy to 1 or 2 weapon set, it wont override the setting your curse gem already had, so the skill inside has higher priority on weapon set than the meta skill

this means that each skill gem has its own weapon setting and meta skills cannot override those, so they have to match for them to work

they probably did that for Blasphemy so that I only need one skill gem or aura for two curse allocation (they only take 60 spirit if it's enabled for that weapon set)

so if you want to swap between two curse auras, you either take a blasphemy meta per weapon set or waste a support gem slot to be able to swap between them

[wet kernel]

Chat how over capped in resist do i need to be? I have perfect 75/75/75/75 rn

[gloomy jackal]

ideally 90 fire/cold/lightning for ele weakness maps

[wet kernel]

Hmmm

[gloomy jackal]

you can map with 75 and avoid ele weak, or just do ele weak maps pretending that they're -max :p

[wet kernel]

[pliant sleet]

Killed him!!!!!

[royal cliff]

dont need, just build mom ci and do ele weak -res like its nothing

[wet kernel]

well rn i have 4.6k life + 9k ES...

soo erm

[royal cliff]

7k mana 1.2-1.5k mana regen is superior

[rocky steppe]

is thier any rarity stacking barb builds ?

[frosty arrow]

I like that flames of chayula aura lets you slot all the supports that should cost spirit, but they're completely free. I wonder if it's intended

[swift root]

Is spark stormweaver good still?

[merry bone]

there have been no changes to the game

[mortal cloak]

any suggestions to beef up herald damage/synergy?

[jaunty mulch]

how good are the maligardo's virtuiosity

[celest oxide]

I got a 35 div budget and don't feel like playing my current build what should I make

[mortal cloak]

@celest oxidePOTCG jedi

I'm like Wukong + Goku + a Jedi

it's fucking awesome lol

[frosty arrow]

Make a build you like playing without spending all that

[frosty arrow]

I mean, each to their own. I don't like to think of new characters in terms of cost. Think about what you want to play

[merry bone]

How could we help you - if you dont provide any information about what you are playing currently - what you dont like about it at the moment, and what else you have played

[celest oxide]

haha I'm actually just leaving gemling rn

[mortal cloak]

I thought so lmao

but this build is a bit different than most of the gemling/potcg builds

charged staff and double heralds is fucking hilarious

[celest oxide]

Umm I've played Gemling Stat stacker and Infernalist Demon Form

[frosty arrow]

Bruh, at some point you have to admit you got enough damage

[celest oxide]

Is Warrior still barely worth playing

[mortal cloak]

Funny thing is my damage is dumpster level lmao

[celest oxide]

Wouldn't mind Deadeye but don't want Lightning Arrow if I do

[mortal cloak]

There's guys further along with this build who don't waste the resources I do on charged staff that do 3 million quarterstaff dmg @frosty arrow

[frosty arrow]

Wdym. Titan is like one of the best ascendancies in the game

[mortal cloak]

I think the highest person in the gemling channels right now has 3.2 million dmg quarterstaff

[frosty arrow]

What the health pool of pinnacle 16+2 bosses. That just sounds like overkill

[mortal cloak]

yea the bosses die in >5 seconds

half the builds don't even drop tempest bell anymore

because by the time you get combo pts and drop it the boss is dead from ice strike/quarter staff

[celest oxide]

What are people doing with Titan

[frosty arrow]

Anything. Getting 50% more value out of minor nodes is just so powerful

[celest oxide]

so it's like gemling kinda

just generically good

[frosty arrow]

Melee builds are still great, summoner, crossbow, quarterstaff

Anything

[mortal cloak]

Nothing is cooler than jedi dual light saber staff

[swift root]

Can I start my spark storm weaver with widowhail or should I wait till later?

[mortal cloak]

😄

[frosty arrow]

Yeah, at that point I'd just worry about not getting oneshot. Although, just like any gamer I admire the "watch the damage numbers go brrrr"

[mortal cloak]

yea that's where I'm at is just trying to improve the build while maintaining reasonable res and rarity

123% item rarity

[celest oxide]

Okay maybe I'm intrigued by Titan actually

[valid bolt]

Guys I made a lighting arrow build with 5 divs and Iam clearing t15 maps not so easy but not so hard to
Is my build doing well or I got scammed the items I bought
Specially that my lighting arrow deals only 22k dmg

[mortal cloak]

@frosty arrowActually I have two insane upgrades left too

Well....ingenuity will be big as well, but

Neither of my rings have attributes which 90 attribute from them and double flat T9 should boost me from 450k ice strik to like 520k then 600k or so when I replace both

ingenuity will take that to like 900k

[tropic pelican]

Best meta defensive skill? Whatchall think?

[mortal cloak]

then astramentis would be like 1.4M

[steady magnet]

Are skeletal arsonists still good for leveling builds?

[tropic pelican]

Wanna cast on freeze some sort of defensive skill

[modern oak]

Will this node increase the damage of the FIRST hit if it would apply elemental eilment?

[undone peak]

you'd need a lot of spirit for that to be better than the defensive spirit gem choices

you've already got grim feast on, for example? i'm assuming you're archmage OR some type of monk build using wind dancer and ghost dance

[celest oxide]

Okay I'm thinking either some warrior build or a deadeye

[tropic pelican]

How much spirit you think? I’m stormweaver

Can I cast on freeze mana tempest?

Grim feast is prob a good idea

What are the best support gems for grim feast?

[lost onyx]

Does critical hit chance affect spells, or it must be critical hit chance for spells?

[undone peak]

Tbh you probably shouldn't have more than 100 spirit as stormweaver if you're playing the archmage setup

Unless you're getting the spirit from helm corrupt mod

Or you're playing the high investment non-everlasting gaze setup with a spirit amulet

[tropic pelican]

I’d use a 200 spirit sceptre in offhand

If I were to do that

[undone peak]

Alright then archmage with clarity, grim feast, and I'd go blink personally

[tropic pelican]

I’d go blink but ps5 sucks

I haven’t even bothered trying it actually. Maybe I will for shitz n gigz

[mortal cloak]

Any other double herald enjoyers? Tips for support gems to maximize damage/synergy?

[alpine pecan]

you can stack exposure and curses for negative res right

[modern oak]

Does this node not work with 40% more projectile speed Support Gem?
The tooltip DPS does not change

[alpine pecan]

Probably not. More is a modifier not an increase.

[modern oak]

They both are modifiers that "increase" the speed. But you think it has literally needs to be written as Increase? Thanks, it might be

@alpine pecan Are there cases where tooltip can be wrong?

[thorny token]

yes, this stuff is very literal

and increase is keyword (also more)

[spring prairie]

does helmet have enough ES to be worth socketing an iron rune into?

[proud sorrel]

Does anyone know if passives that increase ignite magnitude apply to the ignite by Burning Legion on Raging spirits?

[thorny token]

yes, helmets are second biggest source of ES

as far as item bases go

they give way more than boots and gloves

[proper vale]

hi, is path of building 2 released yet?

[fiery wave]

does onslaught work rn?

it doesnt seem to show in damage or movespee tooltip

[sharp brook]

34x Siphoning Wand & Attuned Wand | ilvl 82

All = 5 div

IGN:@mageMAGEee

[thorny token]

#rules-and-info , no trading

[halcyon solar]

+skills is not included in a weapons dps in like the market, right?

[thorny token]

right

the dps is just base stats on the weapon nothing global

[halcyon solar]

a comeback of the build tool would be great for such a calculation

[undone peak]

it's coming soon

they had to delay it a few days

[halcyon solar]

ah i see

[sharp brook]

MB

[halcyon solar]

+skills seems to be more important than things like dps on lower lvls and then it's the other way around in terms of scaling i suppose. Just a wild guess. Lower lvls is the wrong expression. i mean more in terms of gear. the better your overall gear is the more imporant becomes the dps and less the +skills.

[final basin]

I think health sustain comes from "% damage taken recouped as life". Everytime Barrier Invocation is looping from infernal flames damage, you are getting life recouped from damaging your ES. His amulet is really op, 29% recouped is enough to sustain demo form for a long time, plus it has all the other desirable stats for looping.

[undone peak]

just be sure to not get the candlemass hp permament stat bonuses from act 1 and act 4

as it semi-bricks demon form characters lol

[proud sorrel]

Any way to see how much physical damage SRS actually has?

[jovial blade]

are there items/passive that can make chaos dmg stack?

[atomic halo]

wdym chaos damage stack

[sinful verge]

How does black flame work exactly, if i buff my fire damage to increase my damage before i hit with ignite then it becomes chaos, will it scale higher with chaos damage buffs too?

[jovial blade]

chaos dot dmg stack. like the one with poison

[sinful verge]

As in more so

Base ignite

Buff fire damage so ignite damage increases at base

Its now doing chaos with blackflame so i get chaos damage passive nodes

Thats how it works yes?

[jovial blade]

yeah that would do. thanks

[pseudo coral]

How can I trade for a ultimatum or barya but know it’s for ascendancy?

[atomic halo]

i dont think modifiers to chaos damage will work

because you're still dealing fire damage

they're just taking chaos damage

the point of blackflame is to reduce enemy chaos res

and make them take inc. chaos damage with stuff like wither

[sinful verge]

Enemies ignited take chaos damage instead of fire from ignite. The fire is for the base damage before ignite then i increase chaos cause the damage now is chaos damage

[static plinth]

You want % Inc Fire Damage, but you want Despair and Wither on the enemy

[sinful verge]

Since if i buff my fire damage it increases strength of ignite prior to magnitude

[static plinth]

% inc Chaos wont do anything, as you never deal chaos damage

[atomic halo]

you're mistaking the order of the calculations

[sinful verge]

The damage over time is chaos via ring

[atomic halo]

first the game calculates the incoming hit before you ever hit them

[sinful verge]

Yes so increase fire

[atomic halo]

yes

[alpine pecan]

ailments arent scaled by type damage, only the hit damage and magnitude

[atomic halo]

chaos modifiers do nothing at that time

[sinful verge]

Indeed

Its for the end of the calculation

[atomic halo]

inc. damage modifiers are only calculated once

[sinful verge]

For the final number from the blackflame

[proud sorrel]

Anyone know if Raging Spirits benefit from my ignite magnitude? if I use Ignition support on them?

[atomic halo]

there's steps, it doesn't suddenly double back to check chaos again

by the time you actually ignite them

the inc. modifiers have long since modified

and will not apply again

[sinful verge]

Blackflame should make it check for chaos damage buffs no?

[alpine pecan]

no

[atomic halo]

no

if you think of it in terms of steps and rules

[stark shell]

hello, does cast on freeze work with cold snap?

[atomic halo]

blackflame doesnt suddenly add an extra step where it checks for chaos, it just carries on the way it always should

[stark shell]

hello, does cast on freeze work with cold snap?

[pearl sluice]

Not sure where to go next with levels for minion infernalist

All i can think is a couple cast speed and then energy shield. Or stack Int to the +25

[undone peak]

minion damage, minion cast/attack speed, minion health, minion elemental resistances, and faster minion revive time are all very good

anything that makes minions tankier, deal more damage, or revive faster is great

making minions tankier and revive faster is effectively more dps

[pearl sluice]

Are there ways to upgrade this? Looks good

Suggestions or tips for rolling blood mage in HC?

was thinking of doing something hexblast related

[vital quail]

I really want to do a 2-crossbow build with different ammo for each crossbot, but no matter how I set up the choice of 1 or 2 on the skills menu the bolts always fire from crossbow #1, and only #1. Is it possible to have a 2 crossbow build?

[rancid cipher]

Running into a bit of a complicated situation, looking for advice. After equipping a new amulet and disabling cast on freeze (since I lost the spirit to use it), my character suddenly lost a lot of dexterity and I'm unable to use my gear. The amulet I removed had no dexterity on it. I lost like 35 dex. The only source of dex on my gear is 6 from my body armor. Any idea what could have caused this?

[pearl sluice]

you have all your gems set to the correct weapon useage?

need to make sure those are ticked for what skill you are using

otherwise it wont auto swap on use

[jade stone]

What do yall think would be better with like 200D to invest LA deadeye or a stat stackin gemling? Wanna do all content bosses, breaches ritual yaknow the good shit

[vital quail]

The rounds are set to 1 and 2, but no matter what it only fires from 1

[merry bone]

gotta put the crossbow shot for the second weapon on your bars

[vital quail]

Like this?

[merry bone]

Yea so 1 crossbow shot belongs to weapon 1 - the second belongs to weapon 2. If you use weapon 1's Cross bow show - while you have weapon 2 equipped - it will swap weapons

[vital quail]

It still has the same problem even though I set it up just like the picture. It only fires out of crossbow 1

[merry bone]

are you using the same hotkey to fire? Or do you have 2 separate hot keys to fire

[vital quail]

same hotkey

[merry bone]

but you have 2 crossbow shots

[vital quail]

ahh, that's the problem

I see how they set it up now

That's kind of a pain, needing 2 firing buttons

[pearl sluice]

Sorry i'm not sure to be honest, sounds like a bug

report it to the forums

[vital quail]

It's working the way I need it to, I just need to reconfigure my mouse :/

[merry bone]

the 2 firing buttons means you actually dont need to use the load ammo buttons to swap the weapon - you just rotate beteween your fire buttons unless you need a manual reload

[vital quail]

nah, looks like I need 1 for each crossbow

I need to set left click for explosive, right for shockburst

sweet though, I can finally do things with weapon set perks. Thanks!

[rancid cipher]

Can + all elemental resist only be found on rings / amulets?

[pearl sluice]

Some other items, like shields

and im sure there are more kek

forgetting rn

[rancid cipher]

Ah, no worries. Just trying to figure out where I can squeeze more in. My rings / amulets are uniques atm so maybe not possible. 😦

Like 13 off everything.

[pastel heron]

hello! sorry just saw this. are you interested in brainstorming a spellcaster titan with me?

[plain temple]

Good evening my homies! Quick question, I have changed nothing on my build but suddenly I'm running out of mana like someone put a large hole in my mana tank. Any thoughts on where I might start looking on my build to plug the hole?

[merry bone]

well clearly - something changed on your build - should probably track that down first

Since no game changes have been made - either the mana was always an issue - or you changed something.

That said - without having any clue what build you are playing - really hard to know what mana solutions are possible

[carmine sphinx]

so i have a spark sorc and stat stacking invoker and now im looking for the next thing to play

[merry bone]

Basic Attack Titan

[plain temple]

I realized that now. I'm an idiot on scales I don't think the world has seen in a long time

[merry bone]

Nah - see it every day 🙂

[plain temple]

I think I just don't understand the game or what I'm doing in the game enough to know where the things I'm dying are changing what

[merry bone]

So one of the biggest culprits for mana issues - is obtaining gear with +Skill levels on it. Its obviously a very good stat - but that bumps your mana costs WAY up. Do you recall changing out your weapon or amulet recently? Those tend to have that stat most commonly. (Also - you still didnt mention what build you were playing)

[plain temple]

Lol oh sorry. I'm playing a monk. Not sure if I have anything going you'd call a build

[undone peak]

you also might just be dropping off in damage and need a weapon upgrade

one of the best ways to fix mana in poe 2 is deal more dmg so u have to cast less stuff per mob

[merry bone]

Did you recently upgrade your life flask?

If you have sources of mana on kill - it will combo into Mec's point, where you are taking longer to kill - so spending more mana per kill- and killing less often, so getting less mana back from kills

[carmine flicker]

How much dps is good for endgame mapping?

[merry bone]

5

There is virtually no way to calculate overall dps - and indiviudal skill dps is horrible to compare to different skills due to numerous variables

[lyric solstice]

There will be with pob soon

[merry bone]

Meh - i have alot of doubts about the accuracy of POB this early. Took a while to get it for POE1 as good as it is today and there is still stuff that is incorrect

[carmine flicker]

Cause I have around 150k (total from my strom mages) and it's usually more than enough, but last trials boss showed me that it's not really true

[merry bone]

So you asked about mapping - but then mentioned your hangup was on a trial boss. 2 different activities. Check your supports make sure you are running bossing supports isntead of mapping supports

[plain temple]

I think my issue is my brain doesn't remember if we did a thing

[carmine flicker]

Well, they are same, so yeah

[plain temple]

Like DID I change my mana flask? Possibly?

[merry bone]

the supports you are using are the same?

[minor tree]

Ahh I see the amulet alone has enough by itself, that explains it.
Thank you! I missed it

[carmine flicker]

Yeah
Feeding frenzy, minion mastery, ele focus and arcane tempo for "main" storm mage setup

[merry bone]

i copied the modifier you want to check and be sure your life flask doesnt ahve it on there

[carmine flicker]

Not like I can swap smth there for bossing

[plain temple]

Shit! Found it

[carmine flicker]

(and the whole shock setup for lone support storm mage guy)

[plain temple]

I changed out a ring because it had +141 to accuracy rating

Old ring had 12% increased mana reg rate

[carmine sphinx]

whats the best all arounder build since the patch

[merry bone]

there was no patch

[plain temple]

Has the patch dropped yet?

[carmine sphinx]

not til later this week

but the notes are out and changes to uniques listed

[plain temple]

But your question

[merry bone]

Where are the notes?

[carmine sphinx]

figured someone would have theory crafted the next big badda boom

[atomic halo]

the notes are out?

[carmine flicker]

Where?

[merry bone]

They arent - hes making stuff up

But i wanted to see if hed double down on it

[atomic halo]

we spread a little misinformation

[carmine sphinx]

the universe provides if you will just reach for the stars

sorry i got bored

[plain temple]

I tried that with your sister but she didn't like me reaching

[carmine sphinx]

was thinking deadeye next anyone disagree

[merry bone]

What we do know - is that we shouldnt expect many changes. They dont want to nerf things mid-league. They indicated they typically fix 2 things mid-league. Items that impact the servers (RIP Barrier Invocation shit), and Clearly unintended interactions.

[carmine sphinx]

you would be the first i heard of not getting a reach

[merry bone]

They mentioned the balance would come with the fresh economy (which they gave no date on)

[plain temple]

In looking at the ring I switched found a magic one stirring next to the one i took off with double the mana regen rate

[plain temple]

I lost both my hands in Afghanistan

[carmine sphinx]

so thats why you called my sister so she could run your controller for you on your sandy ass playstation

[atomic halo]

very funny #offtopic

[carmine sphinx]

while you chat on xbox live

[plain temple]

Ah man, your figured it all out

[plain temple]

Sorry

[carmine sphinx]

so seriously tho

gemling meta seems too much like my invoker

[plain temple]

@merry bone thank you for the advice and direction

[carmine sphinx]

and i dont seem to see impressive numbers comparatively from the warrior ascendancies

and i hate minions

[merry bone]

youve basically played 2 super meta builds - you ether play Gemling Tri-Stack or Bows at this point - or you accept that no matter what - it will be a downgrade

[carmine sphinx]

yeah and my invoker is tri-stack

so i feel like id just be swapping gear to a new toon

[merry bone]

Go play something in SSF - problem solved

[carmine sphinx]

im too lazy to lose trade

so bows it is unless someone has good argument for titans

[dusty rock]

Dis good for an invoker monk using tempest flurry with ice and light

[plain temple]

Is that a statement or question?

[dusty rock]

Question

[humble wave]

How do Chaos Inoculation ( 1 HP, Chaos Immune ) builds work? Don't you run out of Energy Shield because you can't heal it with potions and it has a delay in regenerating?

[merry bone]

Solve for ES other ways. Regen via zealots oath. Eternal youth so your potion restores ES. Grim Feast or Ghost Dance. Faster start of recharge.

[humble wave]

what about Mind over matter? as a merc i only use mana to reload p much

[merry bone]

Sure. MoM, CI, EB is pretty common right now

Then stack mana regen

[lyric solstice]

Is this good for stat stacker build

[merry bone]

Yes.

[lyric solstice]

Eternal youth has been my go to solution for CI, as grimfeast got me covered most of the time and I pot during the rare cases

[carmine sphinx]

what is more profitable to farm inscribed ultimatum or high level sekhemas

[humble wave]

can you use Ghostwrithe with CI?

or does it do nothing as your HP is 1 ?

[lyric solstice]

Due to the unique relics giving guaranteed rewards in sekhima, it's more profit

[lyric solstice]

Yes it works, which imo is pretty broken lol

Barely invested in ES, only have ES on my helm and amulet, life on rings, I got around 5k

[humble wave]

CI is tempting cause my resists are shit now that I have HOWA

[magic wedge]

Lookin for a good monk build any1 know a good link

[mellow yoke]

Is there any build that uses the omen ceptre?

[errant sentinel]

i need help

[vale crescent]

is there a thread or channel to track progress for POB release?

[errant sentinel]

the soul core for jiquanis machimarium is bugged

how can i solve this

?

[stuck monolith]

got a question,

does wind dancer trigger on blocking a hit with a shield?

because im planning out a block chance heavy build and wondering if i should reserve some spirit for wind dancer

[steady breach]

does winddancer say it triggers when hit ?

[stuck monolith]

on being hit

[steady breach]

then i think it should, blocking stuff still counts as being hit afaik

you just take no dmg

[stuck monolith]

aight so no point in running it then

good

or not we'll see lmao

[tidal copper]

Dreamcore has the answer

[celest oxide]

For Warrior should I build for Mace Strike or Stampede

Both seem pretty cool

[sterile furnace]

Haven't played after the first week, is it still worth using kitoko's current to electrocute and get charges? Or is it better to use rare gloves and rely on a specific skill+ electrocute gem now ?

[novel estuary]

Sooo I started a Merc on SSF that I intend to go Gemling, what's a decent build atm? Mainly looking for stuff that don't depend on uniques or lots of currency since it's SSF. And yeah I know that I have ot play with what i got on SSF but I would like to at least have some idea on the build department specially the passive/skills/support combos and interactions

[white stone]

Kitoko is a crutch when your damage is ass

[rapid star]

Am I dumb for trying staff on a storm weaver?

[sterile furnace]

I started as warrior and is currently releveling through campaign an invoker, so I guess I should use it till I get to map?

[amber fulcrum]

Are there any alternatives to spark for archmage? I don't have a good reference how much power I'm giving up by swapping

Anyone know some good sources of Increased Stun Duration?

[mental ember]

how would ice bite (Attacks Gain 35% of Damage as Cold Damage for 3 seconds on Freezing an enemy with Supported Skills) work
if u used it on 2 different skills, and froze with both of them at the same time

[mental ember]

na it's normal to use diff ascendancies, worst thing that can happen is its prolly worse than meta and will burn your time

[mortal cloak]

Is there any way to make charged staff split or fire more projectiles of itself or anything like that?

[mental ember]

no

[compact tulip]

Charged staff seems to function identical to wind blast, your melee attacks becomes a small cone in front of you

aka, not a projectile

[mortal cloak]

would it be possible to replace that ruby jewel there with one of those special ones and pick up spaggeti and overflowing power without pathing to them?

[sterile furnace]

How much dps staff is a good starting point for mapping for monks ?

[hybrid obsidian]

hey i asked in here earlier, i have converting lightning to cold with brotherhood, how can i still apply shock? someone said to do electricute instead but i still dont see how its possible without actuall have light damage? im spark

sounds like electricute is just trading shock for stun?

still has to be lightning damage

or if i get acorrupted brotherhood that only coverts like 90 % am i still gonna still apply shocks with only 10 %

[minor tree]

shocked ground is an option, that'll still apply shock

if you're stormweaver there's a node that makes all damage apply shock

[twilit path]

Hey guys. with the new patch, will our current uniques reroll?

[minor tree]

hopefully!

[topaz talon]

heyho found this on a build guide. How do they acquire the nodes?

[lyric solstice]

Its a jewel u put in the slot, this one drops from sekhima trial last boss

Randomized modifiers

[pearl sluice]

This is why pol send

[topaz talon]

really? thought controlled metamorphosis was the one that allows allocating

[pearl sluice]

Ppl sell

Last trial boss runs

[topaz talon]

this one says nothing about allocating nodes, thats why I am wondering

[pearl sluice]

What does leveling raging spirits even do?

[raw forge]

Sorry where do I ask to buy single items? I need a lvl 20 spirit gem but don’t want to buy bulk

[pearl sluice]

trade site?

[twilit path]

Any monks here i have a "problem"

Before when i activate charged staff the ends on my staff used to glow blue. Now they just dont. I think everything works but my staff does not glow up. Any ideas why?

[plain meteor]

Hi all! Is it better to focus on dmg or defences on the passive tree? not to sure how much i should invest in each in general.

I know In some games generally gear may be a easier/more effective option for scaling defenses/survivability. I was wondering of maybe POE2 also has a certain leaning in terms of the focus of gear vs passive tree.
If i were to spec mostly defenses in the passive tree, would i just not do any damage? Or is it generally wise to focus mostly on damage with some good/key defense passives as most(enough) defenses can come from gear?

[topaz talon]

got one now, cant allocate

[twilit path]

https://www.reddit.com/r/PathOfExile2/comments/1helsu3/is_this_just_a_visual_bug_or_is_there_something/?rdt=41854

[ancient flint]

Is there a world where I could make CoS voltaic mark work for clearing speed? I wanted to differentiate from the usual double herald build for LA Deadeye and wanted to focus on electrocute in one shot and consistently clear with voltaic mark. But for the life of me I can't seem to figure out how are people proccing vm so often (I literally shock an enemy with one hit) If you have some knowledge to share please do 😙

[spring prairie]

i think the minion damage is tied to the level

[lyric solstice]

Im confused, what does it say about allocating. I only answered where you get the jewel from. You path to it on the passive tree

[snow sierra]

It is level on gems is the most important thing to scale minion dmg

[jovial blade]

game crashed when im about to choose ascendancy, do i need to redo all that run?

[ancient flint]

it might have saved, it saves progress in every checkpoint room

[jovial blade]

im back to where i started 😢

jeeez

anyway, whats better ascendancy for chaos build?

they should put an altar at the entrance 😢

[tidal copper]

Witch?

[jovial blade]

sorc

[livid dagger]

anyone can help me, what the best megalomaniac diamond for infernalist? thanks

[tidal copper]

Chrono or storm weave? Chrono ig

[jovial blade]

what do you think is better for chaos build?

[cyan linden]

Is Path of Building for POE2 been released? Was looking at their page, but didn't find any. Did saw an article on maxroll that it would be released the 13th

[tidal copper]

"chrono ig"

[vale heart]

is a good mana mahucotls more dmg than a good 2 skills, mana, cast speed, cirt chance, spell dmg focus?

[tidal copper]

Yes, it was delayed again for 60 hours or less than 3 days
I'm not holding my breath for it though

[gentle pumice]

probably a dumb question, but with branching bolts will that affect lightning conduit?

it's not a projectile skill but i wasn't sure because i see some build guides that rely on lightning conduit taking that node

[cyan linden]

WHere you get this info? They have a discord too?

[sudden crown]

anyone played bleed build and what ascendancy gives most to bleed buildup ?

just phys maxing ?

[small anvil]

other than subterfuge mask, wasn't there another node that was similar in effect? something that uses ES base and adds EV?

[hybrid ocean]

There's a node that adds 1 ES per 12 EV on your chest piece

[high fiber]

witch hunter bleed bow was my first char, it's not too costly and clears pretty good

[sudden crown]

what witch hunter has ?

he had decimating strike right ?

but what else?

[fervent briar]

Abilities are not tied to classes

Or is that ascendancy node

[sudden crown]

ascendancy I mean

[grand gorge]

whats a good warbringer build?

[sudden crown]

its 5-35% health cull decimating strike

[grand gorge]

i wanna be doing Damage

[minor tree]

totem is cheap
corrupting cry is cheap too

[grand gorge]

how about something expensive?

[minor tree]

totem does mad damage, especially if you go ancestral

(but shockwave is more consistent)

[grand gorge]

mhm thanks

any specific yt guide you can point me to? theres a lot and i wanna follow one thats good

[high fiber]

yeah you got cull/decimating, basically first hit does a lot of damage and then you cull them when they're low life

you play with volley of arrow (or whatever the spell is where you do a 360, and snipe with mark+ that skill that repeats the next skill)

[sudden crown]

I thought about dead eye
tail wind 150% increased evasion and 30% increased skill speed with 10% ms
20%more dmg at shotgun ( I want to play crossbow )
and in theory frenzy charge generation or just more projectiles

idk witch hunters explosion look juciy

[high fiber]

there's a mobalytics guide on it by @green tapir, might be a bit overdated

[sudden crown]

juicy

[thorny token]

deadeye is way better than withc hunter for crossbows

if you are deciding between the 2

tailwind and +1 proj is very strong for them

[sudden crown]

ye will go with that

does skill speed scales with reload time ?

bcs attack speed do

[thorny token]

yes

[high fiber]

@sudden crown https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efFYYj_ABfI&t=487s looks actually fun and interesting

xbow/blood mage

[midnight geode]

does flame wall always ignite even with a low level gem? Cuz 133+ int is quite a lot (I'm stacking strength and need 650+)

[boreal orchid]

is there a way to summon corpse during boss fight? so i can use volatile dead on boss fight without any adds?

[fair niche]

does anyone know if charged staff counts as physical attack damage?

[thorny token]

bleed crossbow is just way weaker than poison crossbow if you wanted to go dot route

[high fiber]

is it ? do you have a guide/thread or something

I'm looking for a novelty build to play ngl, but not a 200div build mind you

Friend of mine showed me his demon form and I was like "yeah ok", crazy is the build is <10divs

[thorny token]

i dont have a guide just tree and setup for char im playing

but its pretty straightforward you click deadeye and scattershot, get original sin and 4 poisons and done

[humble wave]

Anyone know hwo the Energy Barrier support gem interacts with Fountain of Youth? Energy Barrier makes your Energy Shield start regenerating when you are stunned, Fountain of Youth cancels natural shield regen

[pearl sluice]

bleed as a whole is underwhelming

[thorny token]

you mean eternal youth?

[high fiber]

i'm interested ! And would be even cooler if you could make a lil showcase video ngl

[thorny token]

i know that meditate that also forces start of ES recharge is bugged with eternal youth atm and do not even forces start of life recharge

[thorny token]

still leveling the char but i can try to record at least a map i guess later

but with bonestorm debuff it should be able to one shot every boss in the game eventually

[midnight geode]

guys I need a way to apply fire exposure fast and easy on bosses on my titan. Molten blast is only 30% chance (not sure if it's more if I use scatter shot). The spells require a lot of int and I'm stacking strength (unless I can use a low lvl one and still ignite bosses). Any suggestions?

perfect strike is what I'm using for dmg so I can't fit the exposure gems

[thorny token]

just put fire exposure on totem

[midnight geode]

totems ignite?

[thorny token]

they can yes they use your stats

[humble wave]

yeah

[midnight geode]

would I have to use fire infusion?

[thorny token]

they get avatar of fire as well

so no

[midnight geode]

aight I'm using tottems for rage so that would work nicely

[thorny token]

yea then there are 2 options, either its bugged like meditate and does nothing or it starts your life recharge

[worthy sable]

Is there a way to make a use of Herald of Plauge with a Merc im trying to homebrew a full Elemental Build with all 4 Heralds but the Plague one feels the least efficient right now.

[thorny token]

plague needs actual poison build to be effective so just slapping it on is pretty bad idea

[minor tree]

your best bet is power charges to not need corpses

[thorny token]

you can grab plaguefinger to make your ele damage poison but its just gonna be waste of glove slot and reservation (and you will still need poison chance)

[worthy sable]

Haha yeah sure, im using Poison and even Chaos troughout my Skills also got 2Rings and a Crossbow with Posion chance the problem isnt the triggering of poison its more that it doesnt feel that effective compared to the other 3

[boreal orchid]

thanks

[worthy sable]

You think it would be better to just use the other 3 Heralds(which are working perfect) and maybe slap some blood effects on it?

[thorny token]

bleed? nah dont even bother with that one, i would say just stick with triple ele herald and thats about it

[worthy sable]

Hmm thats a bummer 😂

I want them multiple procs all over the enemy😂

[snow sierra]

Man poe rly needs the patch, servers are struggeling with more and more server crashing builds becoming popular

[cosmic basin]

poison concoction says it's an unarmed attack so what does it's attack damage scale off?

[thorny token]

levels. and then generic attack damage, aoe stuff, unarmed

[cosmic basin]

this part. what is it based on?

[thorny token]

and currently because of bug it also counts as bow skill

[thorny token]

just generic attack damage added from elsewhere

the skill has also flat on itself

[snow sierra]

a cheap widowhail and a +2 quiver dos wonders for it while leveling^^

[high fiber]

is there a poe2 theorycrafting discord somewhere ?

[cosmic basin]

i assumed its base unarmed attack but isnt that like 0

and whats the point of scalled that attack damage per level

[thorny token]

it is, that is why the gem also has flat on it

[cosmic basin]

yeah

[thorny token]

but it also applies to any added flat from elsewhere

the 166%

so 10 added flat lightning becomes 16 etc

[cosmic basin]

yeah the "to attack" mods

just seems so little compared to them just scaling the added damage on the gem.

[thorny token]

well yea you are just supposed to scale the levels on it and thats it

but its still attack

so has to follow attack rules so it has to have the added damage scaling too

[cosmic basin]

maybe theyll add more stuff for unarmed

[thorny token]

even if its meaningless

[ionic karma]

Anyone can help me?

I wanna change my build abit I feel too weak.

Life wise mainly / shield

This what I’m running as gear wise. And my tree is

if I have value of 0.6 does it go to 0.0 or up to 1 in poe 2 ?

[fringe quiver]

hey guys i want to play mercenary on 2nd playthrough whatas like the easiest waay to pwer through campaign any guides or suggestions like uniques or items

[tame hamlet]

Hit there Tldr

I unallocated passive 1, i went to unallocate passive 2.

message said 'add point to passive?' and i clicked to fast to think

now i have both passives unallocated and only one point refuned

not sure what happened at all, but any idea how to fix this please?

also i am 150% sure i didnt accidently put a point in some other passive

[remote narwhal]

Ok so Im wanting to play a titan but I'm not wanting to use mace or minions. I am using a slam

But I wanna know what someone. Thinks of the concept of it. Or a end game titan that is aoe to test that theory.

[vital quail]

Crossbow Titan

[remote narwhal]

No

I said I was using a slam

There's only 2 weapons that have slams

Quarter staff

Vaulting impact for a main skill

Faster skill, higher stun if u daze

But I'm wanting to know if the aoe extends

Or not

[shy kraken]

Hi guys, does anyone know how stun mitigation works with Eldritch Battery and Chaos Inoculation? Do we simply get zero stun mitigation or will nodes like Self Mortification and Asceticism somehow work on my mana pool or pre converted base values or how does it work? :3

[thorny token]

energy shield do not provides anything against stun, you need to grab sources of energy shield added as additional stun threshold

to have some base value

[shy kraken]

yes I know that, but Eldritch Battery converts all my ES to Mana, so does that mean that those nodes doesnt work anymore?

[remote narwhal]

Is there anyone that's endgame titan

[thorny token]

ah, yea i would assume they dont work anymore

but you can get some ES back with the amulet

even with EB

[shy kraken]

so that in practice means that there are zero options for stun mitigation with EB and CI without using the everlasting gaze amulet?

[thorny token]

well theres charm right

but also looking into this further, it looks like you actually might get the stun threshold before life is converted to 1 as baseline

with CI

but idk how reliable that information is

[shy kraken]

yea that was my understanding as well, so I was wondering if the same goes for EB

there really isn't any information around about it

have been searching for hours

[brave trench]

is Imploding Impacts still bugged? the negative armor node from war bringer

[feral halo]

worth 11 div?

[modern oak]

Does Concentrated Effect (+40% more AOE dmg, -50% less AOE) not work with Herald of Thunder?
It is RECOMMENDED support skill, but the damage in the tooltip does not change.

[modern oak]

Go to #price-check📉

[tidal copper]

Twitter I believe

[spare quartz]

I got a body armor with 1560 evasion 38 spirit, 25 dex, 27 cold res, 29 fire res, and just added 18 chaos res with a vaal. Worth a boat of divines or evasion is too low?

[grand gorge]

to get ancestral totems i need to get the ancestral call ascendency point right?

[ionic karma]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/2m51c0zb

Is this build any good

Anyone here at all with a Monk?

[halcyon solar]

If you would get Range for your Quarterstaff. Does that increase the range of your Bell aswell?

[charred gate]

I really hate how little skill slots there are, is there a way to get more besides the ring base?

[astral willow]

gemling gets +3 from asc passives. Other than that and ring I don't think so

[vale crescent]

imagine we were supposed to use weapon swap

here we dont even have enough gem for 1 build

[scarlet dagger]

Hey guys, suggestion for a really fast moving build for a ranger? I want my new char to just zoom acorss the map

pref with ice

[charred gate]

I see. Yeah, i can only have 4 active skills on my invoker, tempest + charged staff are mandatory, so i really just have 2 more to play with ._.
No room for weapon swap skills

[turbid patrol]

Temporalis build if u have 300 divs

[rancid cipher]

Can jewels have physical damage mana leech on them?

[turbid patrol]

Dont think so but maybe increased leeched amount?

[rancid cipher]

Ah ok, is it only weapons then? Trying to help a friend get some mana leech, but we can't afford him a new weapon atm.

[scarlet dagger]

no sadly atm I am capped at 30 exalted xD

[lament sentinel]

does anyone know how sacred flame's "Enemies in your Presence Resist Elemental Damage based on their Lowest Resistance" interact with exposure?

[pearl sluice]

Is there a distil calc?

like with poe1 oils?

input the distils you have, show what you can instil?

[clever zodiac]

would this work when one is using blood magic, and has no mana ?

[lament sentinel]

the damage would go straight to life (or es I guess)

[dawn oxide]

if you have no mana, how can damage be taken from mana before life? it'll be directly taken from life

[clever zodiac]

idk, when this works

why wouldnt the node i linked work

is my reasoning

[dawn oxide]

that flask is different

it removes mana, it doesn't say "recover life equal to the amount of mana drained"

so if you have 0 mana, it's still 0 mana, and the life recovered applies regardless

but damage taken from X before Y means that there needs to be a resource to substract for it to apply

[clever zodiac]

ye that makes sense, probably wont work

[dawn oxide]

it's not probably, it doesn't work

otherwise mind over matter builds would be immortal

what would happen here if you are out at 0 mana? all dmg would be negated then with that logic

[clever zodiac]

aye fair enough

[pearl sluice]

when you have no mana, goes to ES, no ES, than life

[worthy sable]

Is the second one a bugged description or as cracked as i think it is?

[tulip fog]

if im wearing the three dragons helmet, does cold damage still freeze? since it only mentions chill on the helmet

[astral willow]

no

[ionic karma]

This is a perfect gamble piece

I reckon no?

70% Mana regeneration rate

Afraid I’ll Fully Rampage it

[real turtle]

can someone recomend me a build for monk ? i want ice strike monk but if its something else i dont mind as long as it costs 1-3 divines and i push to t15

[worthy sable]

If u can build up on that until maxed Rare and Omen Vaaling yes

[ionic karma]

I’m tempted

I need it for my build

[worthy sable]

Dew it

[ionic karma]

This is the stuff I look for

[worthy sable]

May the RNG gods be with you

[ionic karma]

Imma just do it

Better become good

[worthy sable]

This is the way

[haughty gazelle]

Does someone know if % inc to accuracy rating at close range apply to 1% inc attack speed notable if you attack at close range?

[ionic karma]

+50 to max mana

Still good

No

Could I’ve been +200

[tulip fog]

i assume that the first one only lets you assign passives within the red marked area of the example ring i drew here in paint, while the second one lets you pick any passives within the entire outer ring (both red and black coloured areas inside the ring)

[ionic karma]

But fuck it Vaal orb can save it

+20 to Max Crit

[worthy sable]

Yess!

[worthy sable]

Hmmm

[ionic karma]

Now it fucked 🤣

+12 to strength

[worthy sable]

I have a normal one so i know the Function but its really weird

[ionic karma]

Sadly it’s ruined

[worthy sable]

Too bad

[ionic karma]

Well whatever got 10 more

[worthy sable]

Hahah frick yeah!!

Just dunk all of them one will be good😤

[worthy sable]

I think i got some Magic Rings stashed u could use🤔

[tulip fog]

if i want to make a ignite magnitude focused build, and want to incorporate this support in my setup, what would be the best way to do it? is there any build already doing this that anyone can link me?

[ionic karma]

Do you perhaps got any of

[tulip fog]

im thinking maybe cast on freeze firewall, idk

[ionic karma]

What looks sort of like this

[worthy sable]

Ill take a look after eating

[ionic karma]

Aight Ty

As I gave up life for Chaos Resistance

As my ass died within 2 seconds in every map

[thin basin]

Firewall does like 0 ignite damage not worth scaling

[tulip fog]

0?

that's the highest base fire damage of any fire spell

afaik

unless the wording means it cannot ignite for more damage than what is specified which would be stupid

[tidal copper]

You sure what about flame blast

[astral grotto]

when is pob 2 coming out

[tidal copper]

Thursday I believe unless it delays for the fifth time
I wouldn't hold my breath

[tulip fog]

flameblast might be stronger but requires very heavy investment in cast speed to reach max stages in 1 - 2 seconds

[blazing ruin]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hT-zGOh3iiY&ab_channel=KenshinXbdo

can try my spark temporalis

[pine stream]

Ignition wouldn’t work on a lightning spell unless I somehow deal fire damage when I use it right?

[ionic karma]

Anyone has any of these items

Like similar

[potent swift]

General question for ES users - how important is taking nodes for ES recharge rate and faster beginning of recovery? It always feels better to just go for %max ES, but I'm bad at the game so yeah

[thin basin]

Ive seen 0 firewall builds in 2 months so unless someone make one, yes it does 0 damage

I havent seen a good ignite build yet actually

Saw some bloodmage bleed/ignite ones but not full ignite

[hollow galleon]

Spark plus firewall

[thin basin]

Thats a spark build i mean where firewall is the main damage dealer

[uncut ibex]

can aftershocks trigger cast on crit effects?

[uncut ibex]

tbh that's what I do since summons can drop grim feast stacks for you

[hollow galleon]

Well i know firewall with the persistent gem where skulls float and attack nearby creatures can kill stuff in campaign but for endgame no idea if a firewall build works

[white scroll]

i dont know if its the right place, but what unique jewels can i use on crit wave monk?

[rancid cipher]

Are there any actual unarmed weapons? Or is it only when attacking without a weapon?

[modern oak]

Both cold and lightning should buildup freeze. Did you manage to test it?

[dawn spire]

Or if you had some way for lightning damage to inflict ignite

[pine stream]

I’m pretty new to the game but could you give an example of how to do that?

[lament sentinel]

anyone know if mana remnants can proc with your totems criting/killing shocked enemies?
Not sure what stats/effects totems inherit in poe2

[dawn spire]

I don't know of any ways, personally. There are items that get close like the three dragons (fire can shock, lightning can freeze, cold can ignite), and the storm weaver ascendancy nodes (allows all ele damage to shock/freeze)

[dawn spire]

Hold alt and click on the totem keyword to maybe shed some light. Idk off the top of my head

[lament sentinel]

It just says benefit from your stats so it's kinda vague, searched in chat and no one knows for sure I think

[dawn spire]

Can you screenshot the mana remnants tooltip?

[lament sentinel]

here you go

[dawn spire]

Just based on the wording, I would wager it wouldn't work

[lament sentinel]

agreed, I do wish they made it clearer on what stats the totems inherit though, still not sure if they inherit the +crit chances or attack speed increases on the weapon

[uncut ibex]

I'm trying to make something very stupid and I need to know - can aftershocks proc cast on crit?

[lament sentinel]

want to say they can, they are your damage

[uncut ibex]

https://tenor.com/view/kronk-its-all-coming-together-gif-15058130

[tulip fog]

i did not, i was asking before i had bought the helmet so i did not buy it in vain

[lament sentinel]

also fyi, I think falling thunder is the only slam skill without a minimum attack delay, so if you want to speed up that energy generation, could be a good choice

[uncut ibex]

falling thunder eh? sec

[wet kernel]

Anyone here playing tri-stack? How do u sustain mana on huge bosses with 2-3 player hp

I ran out of mana during a T4 breachlord with 2 player hp

[uncut ibex]

ahhhh beans I'm looking to do something with quechollig, no falling thunder for me

[thorny token]

if its for sunder then you dont get guaranteed sunder crit on aftershocks btw

[uncut ibex]

even if using quecholli?

[thorny token]

that one should be fine

[uncut ibex]

fine here not meaning this will work reasonably well at all lol

[charred gate]

What runes/soul core should be better on a Death's Harp + Howa build? atk speed right?

[thorny token]

crit multi assuming you are scaling crit, otherwise attack speed yea

[old oriole]

#is projectile damage/attack damage/damage with crossbows all the same? or does one scale better than the other?

[thorny token]

all the same

[dawn spire]

If they use your weapon or if your weapon gives you global stats, it should apply. Normally If a skill says "You" (like the "when you kill..." From mana remnants) it doesn't apply to entities other than you

[high fiber]

is there any build that is more busted than the perma demonform witch ?

[dawn spire]

Different builds excel at different things, so almost certainly

[tidal copper]

I'm thinking what skill could you use with this shield? Slams don't receive accuracy do they?

[high fiber]

I mean from what I've seen this build is just omega busted for any type of content 😂

[lament sentinel]

I did some research and interestingly enough, totems inherit a lot less than I thought
Weapon Damage/Speed
Any flat or percent increase in physical or elemental damage on your weapon
Gain Life / Mana on Hit / Kill on your weapon
Increased attack speed on your weapon
Critical Hit Chance of your weapon
Accuracy Rating on your weapon

none of the above are inherited which I think makes going crit for totems meaningless since 5% base crit is horrendous

[static wind]

not sure if this is where to say this but im currently mapping and have 75% all element resistance and my armor dosent seem terrible for t2 maps but im so squishy and my dps is lacking any recs on how to progress would be awesome

[lament sentinel]

this is a very general question so you are prob gonna get general answers like watch guides/buy better gear

I for one recommend searching for similar build guides

[static wind]

guides are a pain to find for early tier maps theyre all endgame t15+ builds

[lament sentinel]

I'm not sure I understand, if it works for endgame it'll work for early tier, and if you are worried about budget there are budget endgame builds. A lot of builds also include leveling progression and tips for early game

[dawn spire]

In poe1 there were attack totems that used copies of your weapon, but I don't know much of totems other than shockwave totem in poe2. And I know that one uses its own "weapon"

[atomic halo]

the other melee totem, ancestral warrior totem also uses its own weapon

[turbid patrol]

Anyone here whos a pro with grenades? Im struggling to explode my gas grenades with my explosive grenades

[cosmic basin]

use explosive shot

before that, use explosive grenades first then gas grenade, so they explode at the same time. or just get radiant grief helmet

[twilit obsidian]

any late game rangers here to help me with my build? im level 75 and my build feels so lackluster, and I cant do any of the fun map stuff such as breaches without getting one shot because I cant clear screens

[lament sentinel]

yeah they changed it so that totems have their own stats now, which means the only stats useful on a weapon are proj levels and elemental damage with attacks(for artillery ballista)

[dawn spire]

Are you ele resistances capped? Do you have movement speed on boots? Do you have at least 2k life?

[twilit obsidian]

no and no

[dawn spire]

The game is balanced around you having 75% ele res. If you have 50% in a res, you're taking 100% more damage of that element

Get gear with more life and res

Movement speed on boots as well

And be sure to use an ultimate life flask with two good mods. I like at least partial instant recovery

[turbid patrol]

Is it not possible to always trigger explosion witz explo grenade without helmet?

[carmine flicker]

does conc. effect support affect skeletal frost mages frost shots?
it's listed in guides and it have area tag in POE2DB, but no tooltip change from conc effect in game(I know tooltips lie, but still)

[halcyon sonnet]

any recommendations on first two ascendency point for deadeye with mostly poison damage

[thorny token]

tailwind and wind ward

at 3 asc you can switch to endless munitions and only gathering if you need damage but at 2 wind ward is best

[old oriole]

is % increased lightning damage the same as increased attack damage?(if i only deal lightning dmg)

[thorny token]

yes

[old oriole]

just to be sure shockburst dmg is all lightning?

[thorny token]

yea

technically not 100% but the non-pulse damage is so meaningless it doesnt matter

[old oriole]

why does concentrated effect not increase my dps when the skill has the aoe tag(i didn't try but the number is the same)

[thorny token]

switch to pulse

[old oriole]

switch?

[thorny token]

yes in the gem window

you open gem detail, switch from projectile to pulse

it should show damage differece there

[old oriole]

omg that's a big number

[sudden elm]

I'm trying to figure out what next to invest in gear wise. do I try and go for something like ingenuity, or should I aim for a wep upgrade, mine is currently 600-610 idk how much higher dps wep i should try to aim for or not.

[turbid patrol]

Yo deathbeam

[old oriole]

so that's where the dmg is coming from

[turbid patrol]

You seem like a merc player

[thorny token]

im not, i just play crossbows on deadeye :d

[turbid patrol]

Is it not possible to always trigger explosion witz explo grenade without helmet?

So no answer to this? 😦

Explosion on gas grenade

[halcyon sonnet]

ayo thanks tail wind is great

[thorny token]

well your other option is to throw the grenades through flame wall

[turbid patrol]

Uff

What about

More fire flat damage ?

[thorny token]

cant ignite with it normally

[turbid patrol]

Or support skills that give more elemental damage should also help or?

[thorny token]

or well i guess it can on impact

but thats 125% DE unconverted

[restive furnace]

I'm here to also ask about grenades on a Merc! I'm thinking I want +Physical% and +Fire X to Y on a weapon?

[turbid patrol]

Whats de?

[thorny token]

damage effectiveness

[turbid patrol]

Im also here for that q

[thorny token]

this

[turbid patrol]

Ah i see

Hm idk i had fire damage % on rings and swaped it and since i wasnt enable to ignite enemies with fire explosion

I wish there was a stat like chance to ignite

In the skill gem tab

[livid flume]

can you cycle cast on freeze / shock / ignite?

as in freeze with autoattack, cast a lightning skill that then shocks, cast on shock casts a fire skill

etc

and just go like that forever?

have them loop through each other

[tulip fog]

does increases and reductions to energy shield from passives apply before eldricht battery?

[old oriole]

what is the left most icon, and how do i get it that high?

[thin basin]

Shock

Get shock magnitude

Or non damaging ailment magnitude

[brazen verge]

Hey, what does this number mean on mobalytics.gg in the passive tree header?

[old oriole]

shock doesn't increase my damage does it? im using shockburst rounds

[brazen verge]

it does increase dmg taken by the magnitude percentage AFAIK but please correct me if Im wrong

[thin basin]

They have 9 points left out of 123

So level 91

[brazen verge]

thanks!

[old oriole]

so this means they're lv80??

[brazen verge]

and yeah id does increase shockburst dmg dramatically due to the explosion part of the shockburst, or whatever its called

[old oriole]

pulse

[thin basin]

No, they used 14 set points so 20-14 is 6 left so lvl94

[brazen verge]

yes, pulse ☝️

[dawn spire]

78 I think

[old oriole]

so the only way to increase it is by jewels?

[dawn spire]

Wait what

[brazen verge]

you mean shock magnitude?

[old oriole]

i guess

[brazen verge]

search for shock magnitude on passive tree

[thin basin]

These sites dont take away the main point when you use set points

[dawn spire]

That's hilarious

[old oriole]

i have to follow this build's tree

[thin basin]

Or just use all of them and get 146 points for free

[dawn spire]

No wonder people are so confused about how they work

[brazen verge]

ah right ok IDK about that, just check out this cluster at elast

[umbral vine]

anyone know about PoB for poe2?
poedb said release is today?

[brazen verge]

+1 ^

[old oriole]

why don't mobalitycs guides show the used jewels??

[old oriole]

uhh i just added that cluster and the shock is still at 32% , does shock somehow increases as i hit more?

[brazen verge]

At least for me it was always the same value. I was using galvanic for clear (with herald of thunder) and to shock bosses and then shockburst to kill shocked bosses.

I dont understand at all how its possible that your shock magnitude would remain the same after adding those nodes -.-

[sage tulip]

no but you can get jewels to put into your tree that have increased magnitude also there are some attacks that do let you stack magnitude I have one that was a one shot but now I set it to shoot 3 shots and stacks magnitude up to about 56% shock stack

[old oriole]

me neither

[brazen verge]

the default magnitude is 20%. with this cluster mine was 35%. you can further increase it by overcharge sup gem, or use lasting shock, conduction as well.

[old oriole]

this guy reached 97 i don't even know how

[brazen verge]

i dont know about skills from other classes cuz im noob but my guess would be apart from those jewels probably

but as Ive said Im pretty noob

oh one more thing, for the shockburst, concentrated effect worked great for me

[old oriole]

im using it too, but i rly need the 5th slot for fresh clip

[brazen verge]

and there may also be some nodes that affect ailment (or non-damaging ailment) magnitude in general so you can also search for that, im not sure

[old oriole]

but im follow this guy's build

[brazen verge]

yeye just saying

[turbid patrol]

Magnitude of ailments / magnitude of shock

[thin basin]

Theres a support that let you get 50% inc mag of shock you inflict then they stack shock magnitude on tree and jewel its very achievable

[brazen verge]

overcharge, mentioned that, but it halves the time iirc

[thin basin]

Oh and theres a shock mark

Literally increases your shock mag by like 50% more or something like that

[spare condor]

With ever lasting gaze is it just always worth to go eldritch battery?

I see some people not running EB and get crazy high ES instead, But im pretty new so not sure when thats more effective

[thin basin]

My shock goes from 71% to 100% with it up

[spare condor]

Also running CI

[proper wave]

It costs a lot of ressources to make a build so thats why I wanted to ask you guys for "the best" monk build. I like to be quick moving and to be tanky 😄

Thanks for you help!

[old oriole]

yea 75% is good enough for me

idk how u reach 100, maybe when i get richer i'll get better jewels

[brazen verge]

u sure its not this one?

[old oriole]

it's that one

[brazen verge]

its not magnitude then

[tulip condor]

hi anyone has a good current build for spark stormweaver ? the one with chiming staff ?

[brazen verge]

oh sorry

i ncant read my bad

[dire stratus]

I don't take EB because I'm using Grim Feast to overflow my ES... It won't work if you convert all ES to mana

[old oriole]

excuse me?

where tf do i go?

[brazen verge]

u sure you cant try and find that node in the fog when you mouse over it? just asking cuz IDK, just curious

[past lintel]

I thought you need to unlock towers to remove fog

[old oriole]

xD no tower is near

[modest ferry]

Hello. Where do I go to start looking for a witch infernalist build that has the ascendancy dog (Because I can't refund it) but 0 flame wall usage?

[old oriole]

i did but it won't work

[tulip fog]

any incinerate players here? is there any way to gain more aoe coverage with the skill? like for example getting multiple beams or a wider beam?

[sand dock]

looking for a good storm weaver spark build if anyone can give some insight I am currently level 52 at the beginning of Act 2 cruel and the build I was trying is no longer holding up

[sand dock]

Looked on YouTube a lot but it’s mostly just really far end game stuff and I can’t get most of them to work how they are displayed

[halcyon solar]

is the gem tab broken atm?

i think Kripp's has a ton of ppl playing it

but everything on maxroll and mobalytics is solid

maxroll has the more detailed guides while usually playing safer. On the other hand the mobalytics builds are always balls to the wall.

[tropic pelican]

Trade site down for everyone or just me?

[near jewel]

does Lay Siege satck with Offensive Stance?

[halcyon solar]

after thinkin about it. I wouldn't follow Kripp's guide unless you play SSF. He always has that perspective.

[tulip fog]

reading through forum posts about ignite, does ignite magnitude not increase the DOT that ignite does? or is this person misinformed?

[thin basin]

Dont see why it wouldnt

Does tooltip increase when you click them?

[halcyon solar]

after 200hrs+ and killing Ritual/Breach Boss. I still have the hardest time of figuring out the Dilirum Fog. I really can't tell where the fog is going. Any tips on that?

[hoary ingot]

madness, it consumed me...

[merry bone]

Mis informed

[warped jackal]

which 3 runes should i fit into this?

[merry bone]

Physical Damage %

[hoary ingot]

all physical dmg %

[merry bone]

Current state of the game - there are rare occurrences you would use anything other than Phys % - and most of those are basically Widowhail builds, and HOWA/PotCG Stackers

[warped jackal]

kinda sad tbh

[merry bone]

id like to see them move the rune to be flat phys at a value that is more inline with the flat ele dmg ones - that would make some of the soul cores for weapons more attractive

[finite igloo]

What catalyst should I use for this

[halcyon solar]

a fully kitted Sorc is like untouchably tanky until Rares with the mana drain mod come around and then hit you for your 1 hp

[rapid star]

I mean, I'm not that enticed by the meta that's clearly not what they intended... so long I can have fun and get enough currency to try make my gear I'm happy lol
I was trying it because could snap feels terrible on leveling lol

[halcyon solar]

that's almost funnily ironic

[hollow galleon]

Exactly im doing a spark warbringer lol and already killed 1st pinnacle boss easily (though it took a while) with crap gear lol
#in-game-showcase message
Ppl should just play what they want and adapt it later for endgame

[fervent briar]

Flat phys on pillar would be broken

[merry bone]

Not sure i agree that it would be anymore broken than flat ele since Pillar does not specifically scale Phys dmg. And with the current builds around pillar they go for pen because flat dmg isnt anywhere near a concern

[ornate anvil]

are auras tied to weapon?

I just noticed if i swap between wand/bow my wind dancer gets deactivated

[merry bone]

and with the way conversion works nowadays - its not like you can double dip the phys increase with conversion. So flat phys or flat ele is just flat for Pillar - and is good of course, but still not even used by more builds

[merry bone]

You can tie an aura to be weapon specific in the set up. But if you didnt set it up that way swapping off your wand is either losing you stats that you need for Wind Dancer - or spirit that you need to keep it activated.

[scarlet cipher]

guys help how much does it cost?

[ornate anvil]

i literally cant put it on if im transformed

[merry bone]

Yep - you right -

It requires a martial weapon - if you transform you have no weapon

Wind Dancers proc does dmg - so it needs a weapon to do that dmg

[ornate anvil]

weird

[merry bone]

damn didnt realize that. If they fix Concoctions scaling with % Dmg to Bow Skills - I was thinking it might be feasible to go wand/focus and get big Cold Dmg % and Gain % Dmg as Extra - but no Wind Dancer would be painful

[drifting apex]

I'm trying to understand why this build (hexblast blood mage) suggest having 'Adds lightning damage to attacks' on ring. I can't see any skills that are actual attack-skills. What am I missing? build url: https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/profile/dee73cb0-b036-4541-a167-fc00d11f9016/builds/01f6b880-44cd-454d-b1a7-f2d77134f2ff?weaponSet=set1

[fervent briar]

Would make doing it on league start without the gloves too strong.

[merry bone]

it doesnt suggest ahving it - thats just the ring he has.

[drifting apex]

Right, my bad i guess. So I am right in my understanding that it doesn't provide anything to the build?

[merry bone]

but thats the same as just running flat elemental dmg - pillar does nothing to scale phys dmg different than it scales flat ele.

[near jewel]

i dont have enough points to check it out

[merry bone]

Correct - and given Chaos odds are 1/6 that it chooses the lightning dmg roll - and the fact that there really arent alot of good prefixes youd even want in that spot - there is no reason to try and brick the ring by using chaos orbs on it

[drifting apex]

Got it, thanks. Certainly makes it easier to find something useful when not having to worry about the 'adds' mod 🙂

[fervent briar]

True. The amount of flat phys that would create balance nah mess with upper end regular phys. The way they made conversions and “as extra” gives them more options with balance with phys damage mods.

[merry scarab]

hi, im using cast on shock with lightning conduit with inevitable critical and excise, do these work properly? will it still add the cd and not cast conduit?

[gilded nova]

I dont know in which channel to ask this, but I guess this one is ok....
What to change here to make it so that I only see LVL 19 and LVL 20 Skill/Spirit Gems?

[halcyon solar]

After now having it for 3 weeks my game keeps spasming out all the time in terms of stuttering atm.

[feral dew]

Hi guys! I am 84 lvl titan making t15 with friend and I would like to understand more about the armour. I watched couple of videos about it and I understand that high amount of armour works good only with small hits and for big hit it is useless. I wanted to know your opinion is it worth to invest in armour in late game which I have now or better to focus on life or something different?

[halcyon solar]

why don't you do that in the Web interface for neversink?

[halcyon solar]

you can directly select lvl 19/20 skill gems there

https://www.filterblade.xyz/?game=Poe2

[feral dew]

For now I focused to have a block cap(75%) which I currently have and I feel that generally I am quite tanky, but I am dying from elemental dmgs usually, that's why I think to increase my life and all max res but to do this now, i have to sacrifice my armour

[gilded nova]

I'm using Fubgun's, got used to it, all I want to change is the Gems

[halcyon solar]

you REALLY should use the never neversink one

i bet he is using that one now aswel

[gilded nova]

Where do I find this? The one you linked just make me customize it.

[halcyon solar]

i linked above

but in your file it says showing less than 19

so it's the other way around than you want it

but still. you can do so much more way easier with the filter above

[icy sedge]

Does anyone know how the ring Original Sin interacts with the support gem Burning Inscription?

[gilded nova]

I know you can, however I dont have the knowledge for Rares, which ones are worth and which ones aren't.
Filterblade is ok when choosing which currency to see, gems etc..
But when it comes to gear, I've no clue what to click.
And the Fubgun's that I'm using has it filtered, it truly only drops gear worth checking out and maybe selling it or crafting it.

[halcyon solar]

neversink already only shows you the good bases

trust me. Fubgun is using this one now aswell. it came out a few days ago

[gilded nova]

Ok, but where can I find this 😂

[halcyon solar]

https://www.filterblade.xyz/?game=Poe2

[halcyon solar]

any change at all is with one button click synced to your filter and ingame.

[tulip fog]

does anyone know if there is any limits to stacking penetration and exposure? like if i have 100% penetration to an element and then i have 100% exposure to the same element?

just want to make sure i dont overinvest in the stuff

[merry bone]

Penetration only ever impacts POSITIVE Resists, and can never bring a monster below 0 - and is applied last.

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

[tulip fog]

dangit, so its applied last?

[merry bone]

yep

Exposure and Curses can bring a monster negative. But then all penetration is wasted

[sudden crown]

is there increased phys dmg on any other gear than weapons ? I want to scale bleeding conc but there is just no way to do it from what I see

[tulip fog]

i have like

• 50% exposure (plus 20% flat extra from ascendancy and then 50% increased effect of exposure from passives) i think it equals out to like 105% exposure if my math is correct
• 57% penetration from passives
• curse that lowers resists

i guess i need to refund the penetration passives

[merry bone]

If those pen passives arent giving you alot of extra stuff - time to get rid of them IMO

[merry bone]

Ryslathas Coil. Can also go flat Phys attack dmg on rings or quiver.

Also the Phys dmg on weapons doesnt impact Bleeding concoction since it doesnt use your weapon dmg and Phys on weapons is local

[tulip fog]

hmm one of the pen passives gives increased exposure effect too

but i can get rid of half of it at least

[sudden crown]

I meant increases bcs flat yes

but increases there are none :9

I think I could try some cast on crit bcs I can get mana leech and have preety infinite mana with high attack speed

[worthy scaffold]

Hi guys, I have never used any Staff yet. Is this worth anything?

[merry bone]

on my shattering concoction i do Cast on Freeze, Freezing mark - its pretty good when big packs are around (breach). Not sure what youd want to do with Bleeding conction from a spell perspective

[sudden crown]

ye there are none phys spells worth it

but mark is good with cast on crit

for clear

still its nothing special

hmm

[merry bone]

if you're going crit - Maybe The Smiling Knight - so you constantly aggravate them?

[sudden crown]

wth is smiling knight

[sudden crown]

hmm but bleed scales with dmg of hit not attack speed and i want to go for attack speed

so idk if its good ida

idea

thought of corpse explode on cast on crit
but dont know how to generate corpes

[merry bone]

whatever you just crit is probably dead while mapping so you can blow those up 🙂 But for bossing wouldnt really work unless you ran minions and sacrifice

[sudden crown]

ye I meant bossing

hmm but sacrifice with minions is like 200+ spirit

so its out :9

hmm

[merry bone]

are you doing any global phys scaling from the tree? if not a phys spell wont really matter - you have no scaling - and you dont need it to inflict bleed, because your concoction is definitley gonna be larger

[sudden crown]

it says "physical dmg per second equal to dmg of the hit" does that mean higher attack speed higher bleed magnitude ?
bcs it has higher dps ?

[merry bone]

Nope - DMG - not DPS

[sudden crown]

I mean damage per second - dps ?

[merry bone]

sure - but bleed is a singular instance based on the DAMAGE of the ability that caused it.

If you do 500 Damage - the bleed is based on 500 dmg. Doesnt matter if you did 500 dmg in 1 second or 2 seconds. If the dmg was 500 - thats what scales the bleed

Obviously attack speed will scale the # of attacks - and concotion does do up front dmg - so thats good. But the Bleed is still based on the singular instance of largest dmg.

[sudden crown]

hmm

still compared to others that bleed does nothing it seems

that 60% increased from rings and 60% increase ele from bow is huge

and phys conc has nothing to compare it

[merry bone]

100% increased magnitude of bleeds baked in - and the ability to aggravate.

[sudden crown]

in theory its double dmg from bleed done

[merry bone]

SO if you can get aggravated in the build - you have your Base Bleed dmg X 2 from aggravate, then multiplied by your magnitude increases.

But yea its bleed.... bleed support has been rough for a while.

most certainly playable though

[sudden crown]

ye thats true

gonna try bleed and not just base dmg

if its not good I can easly reroll to ele conc

these nodes are very good

with crit

45% magnitude on crit and 30% crit chance on bleeding targets

joke with amount of supports for bleed

one good deep cuts rupture useless

bcs aggrevate on item or tree

bloodlust cant bleed and its just 30% more dmg

bruh

now I understand what you meant with bleed is in rough place xd

[thorny token]

well bloodlust is not meant for bleed builds, but it was pretty shit support in poe1 as well anyway

[sudden crown]

true xd

well gonna try bleed conc
in theory its 2x magnitude of bleed and 50% increase on crits

[eager gazelle]

Grenade builds are only working with Gas and exploding it?

[sudden crown]

ye

grenades in any other way are shitt

[eager gazelle]

Any really good build for grenades in mind?

[sudden crown]

gas grenade and that helmet that ignites and you spam gas grenades

[merry bone]

I think Wudijo went to like 98 on some HC SSF Grenade build

[eager gazelle]

I'm playing exactly that one

[eager gazelle]

I will check, thanks

Waggle played one with burning ground boots, but not sure how good it was
