[nova egret]

Does anyone know if an ingenuity will increase the amount of life reduction from a mings heart or reduce it?

[sudden crown]

increases bonuses so it will increase everything

[nova egret]

cool thanks!

[zealous gyro]

can anyone point me in the right direction when im interested in a chill damage over time build? Im open to a lot

i wish contagion was good enough for endgame

[thorny token]

decompose

[zealous gyro]

it requires weapon swapping or something right?

[merry bone]

not sure why it would

[tidal copper]

decompose are the OP boots right?

[merry bone]

But you do need to kill things first and let decompose blow up the corpses

Corpsewade boots yea

[tidal copper]

"Poison" and "chaos dmg over time"
yes

[halcyon solar]

could it be any more unplayable?

[merry bone]

huh? thats one of the best ritual layouts ive ever seen

[tidal copper]

You dont want to know

[old oriole]

wtf is this, there's is only one build for acolyte of chayula in maxroll and mabalitycs??

[merry bone]

Yea - Chayula pretty scuffed - and not something that the creators on those platforms are going to recommend in its current state. That siad, plenty of people have built stuff on it - but its often met with "Why n ot just go (insert diff ascendancy) instead"

[eager gazelle]

I feel like Chayula Monk is missing something to be even a playable class

[old oriole]

fk man, it's like one of the coolest classes

[halcyon solar]

right, plenty of space to dodge the waves between the rocks and lava patches 😄

[eager gazelle]

I even think you must play it 100% physical or you won't leech shit

[tidal copper]

the vault strike build?!

[forest laurel]

I need help getting my witch to do decent damage rn im only act 2 but I do so little damage

[tidal copper]

you will be better served asking in https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1308714834543513652
mention what abilities you are using in your message too!

[forest laurel]

Genuinely chayula is fun my chayula build is hype but it woulf probably be better on evoker

[forest laurel]

Ok

[old oriole]

is there a video of the build

[forest laurel]

Uhhhhhhhh there is one oth there sonewhere i van try to find it again

[zealous gyro]

How do you kill those first few without too much investment in that ? And how do you do single target then?

ive heard about fat minions that you create and kill instantly

[forest laurel]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/p56160mu this is what I used no video but pretty comprehensive

[merry bone]

Play pathfinder and use poison concoction so you just fully double down on poison dmg

Could also Gas Arrow

[tidal copper]

using the boots?
i saw people spawning minions with their second weapon and quickly switching this will spawn 10 corpses
also you can now scale minion health as dmg
its a DD build i dont believe the lies

[zealous gyro]

yeah thats what i saw too but i dont know if i like the weapon switching element. Ill look into it though, thanks

[wet kernel]

What's the highest attribute rolls in rings

[merry bone]

https://www.craftofexile.com/?game=poe2

[fringe topaz]

guys i wanna play some build where you go an ascendancy and path towards a different weapon, like gemling with quarterstaff. I was thinking about invoker minion army, any other ideas for ascendancies that allow you to go way different builds?

[merry bone]

Any ascendancy can go a different way - just use your imagination

[fringe topaz]

i guess, but majority force you to have something specific

[merry bone]

Untrue

[fringe topaz]

ranger ascendancies mainly force you to go for a bow

[merry bone]

absolutely not

There is no bow specific node on either Ranger ascendancy

[narrow shoal]

Hi 🙂 is there a statstacker monk who has time to look over my build. i dont hit the numbers that i want....

[icy quarry]

hi guys, whats a good quarterstaff to look for on a ice strike monk build?

[narrow shoal]

Phys %, Flat Phys, Attackspeed, Crit %

[hallow wolf]

Mrs (Chronomancer) and I (Titan) playing console and loving it ... any suggestions for how to get extra synergy outa this? Currently ~T6 maps.

[hot dew]

Hey Question, If I specced into CI and supposed to be immune from Chaos damage why do i still take damage from poison? am i missing something?

[daring bobcat]

Poison and bleeding do physical and chaos dmg iirc

[hot dew]

@daring bobcat Thank you for clearing that up.

[static plinth]

Poison is Chaos and Bleeding is Phys

[hot dew]

so more armor would help with that poison and bleed?

[static plinth]

If youre taking damage from poison you die instantly

Since it bypasses ES

[static plinth]

Armour is for hits only

[hot dew]

Ok one last quest. What damage type am i immune to because i dont understand chaos it seems

[ionic spoke]

i wish knockback had such a detailed explanation instead of "knocks back enemies on hit"

[sudden crown]

but it just knocks back enemies on hit so what more you want xd ?

[ionic spoke]

Why can't i knockback a quadrilla T_T

[sudden crown]

he is too stronk
monkey stronk

[hollow galleon]

Patch notes out

[icy quarry]

how do you check the physical dps of a weapon?>

[cedar glen]

https://tenor.com/view/anakin-liar-star-wars-lying-gif-8634649

[quick vapor]

is there a way to search what keystone i want from the "From Nothing Diamond". ??

[halcyon solar]

only the phys one?

i mean you divide it by Attack speed? pretty basic 🧠

[olive pike]

How do you search for specific against the darkness jewels?

[ionic spoke]

well that was low

[daring bobcat]

you can't afaik

Beg in your specific build channel for a rich guy to sell you a good one

[olive pike]

i see ... 😄

[ionic karma]

Anyone here plays Monk?

And has some advice for me

[ionic karma]

All the hype for this patch

It’s dead

[old oriole]

i just killed xescht for my first time, im proud i finally A pinnacle boss and killed it

[mystic shard]

does shocked ground

repeatedly shock every second?

and are there easier ways to apply shock?

@final jolt shocking ground not granting charges for "csat on shock" be nice if that was fixed....

[atomic halo]

do not

ping the mods for that

[west hamlet]

Power the notggg

[uncut ibex]

feels like that shouldn't proc cast on shock to be honest

[atomic halo]

^ yeah also that

[thorny token]

mods cant even change in game features, wtf so weak

[celest oxide]

What's stronger, Spiral Volley Deadeye or Stampede Titan?

[thorny token]

spiral volley deadeye

[icy quarry]

can belts have elemental resistances?

[atomic halo]

yeah

poe2db.tw to see the full modpools

[celest oxide]

Do you know the most reliable build guide for this? everything I can find is like 3 or 4 weeks old

[uncut ibex]

I think mathil did one? it might be a few weeks old but that should still be fine

[thorny token]

well mathil did chayula or some shit i think

but no i do not

[uncut ibex]

oh did he?

sorry

[atomic halo]

mathil does everything

[celest oxide]

That was Chayula actually

[north stump]

While leveling my demon witch, I noticed that the Infernalist ascendancy has three nodes that reserve health. Does this reserved health count as part of your max HP for the purposes of Demon Flame’s health drain?

[celest oxide]

which like

I guess is interesting

[celest oxide]

No it doesn't

It will make you leave demon form faster

not slower

[north stump]

That would mean that it does count

[wet kernel]

Anyone here playing gemling tri-stacker? Anyone have a picture of boots that are near gg?

[spice abyss]

what does allocates piecing shot mean?

[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?

[livid flume]

how does 'as extra X damage' interact with %increased X damage?

[somber pendant]

There's some short and simple damage calculation guides on YT

Silentstill made one that I just recently watched

It's about 10m

[abstract mortar]

how can i inflict ailments with chaos dmg?

[covert fossil]

Is that on an amulet

[spice abyss]

YEA

[covert fossil]

It can only inflict poison and you’ll need a “chance to poison”

[covert fossil]

Basically it gives you that passive node without you having to physically direct your tree there

What does piercing shot itself do, idk. It’s easily searchable on the passive tree

[abstract mortar]

isnt there ways to do this? i remember seeying something that made chaos dmg applies freeze buildup, a support gem i think

[covert fossil]

I don’t think so but i don’t remember all the support gems so possibly

If you can screenshot the gem I can read over it again

[somber pendant]

chaotic freeze, causes chaos hits to contribute to freeze buildup when they are taking DoT from supported skill

[covert fossil]

Ah, ty. Forgot that existed

[outer gale]

What site is best for poe2 build guides currently?

[somber pendant]

i use it on contagion, while my dark effigy totems spam chaos projectiles and reavers do some chaos dmg

[covert fossil]

Though iirc doesn’t mean dot can freeze, just the dot helps strengthen it

[snow wasp]

Does Increase % Evasion and ES work for "Lead me through grace" for monk?

[somber pendant]

yeah the dot itself wont freeze, but chaos hits while they are taking the dot dmg will contribute to it

[covert fossil]

Maxroll and mobalytics currently

[outer gale]

ty!

[covert fossil]

What’s the wording for that

[snow wasp]

yeah its trash apologies

but you know how Lead me through grace adds spirit based on evasion and es on body armor

i was wondering if the stat "#% increased to Evasion and ES" counts

[pure kestrel]

can i get help starting off my monk class

[dawn spire]

What kind of help are you looking for?

[pure kestrel]

i’m trying to decide what variant to get and how to build into it

[dawn spire]

Those mods (on body armor) are local and contribute to the es/evasion on the body armor. So yes, they count

[dawn spire]

What do you mean variant?

[pure kestrel]

like class variant

[dawn spire]

Ascendancy class?

[pure kestrel]

no like starting class..

[dawn spire]

Didn't you pick monk?

[pure kestrel]

no not yet

[dawn spire]

Now I'm confused

[pure kestrel]

like there’s 3

[dawn spire]

There's one monk

[pure kestrel]

quick strikes mobility and combos

[dawn spire]

Monk can ascend into invoker or acolyte of chayula

[pure kestrel]

what does this mean then

[dawn spire]

Idk where you're reading that from

[pure kestrel]

oh

[dawn spire]

All classes can use all skills and gear

[pure kestrel]

oh nvm

[dawn spire]

Most people, when making a build, think of a theme or a main skill they want to utilize, then pick their class/ascendancy to complement that

[median knot]

Im playing witchhunter with sorcery ward, does my elemental resist reduce damage to the ward?

[dawn spire]

But for new players, you can basically look at the aesthetics and see that they can do out of the box without much effort. Just know that when you see a monk twirling around with a quarterstaff in a demo video, all classes can do that. A witch could be using those same skills. @pure kestrel

[dawn spire]

It should, yeah, but sorcery ward is most likely going to make you less tanky unless you're building around it

[pure kestrel]

ohh i get it now thank u

[low sparrow]

Controlled Metamorphosis Diamond does the radius matter? is there a reason why you would get extra small rather than large?

[short lotus]

Quucik question guys: I want to used a "Greater Jewellers Orb" to get 4 link on my skill gem, do i need to used Lesser jEWELLER Orb first then apply the greater?

[daring bobcat]

yes

[short lotus]

Do i need to used lesser and then greater, or just used greater itll get me the 4 link?

[daring bobcat]

lesser than greater

or lesser then Vaal if you're a gambling man/no getting 5 links soon

[static plinth]

Thats just showing what Monk skills consist of

[median knot]

Is taking sorcery ward on Witchhunter just troll?

[tidal copper]

Why

[median knot]

keep getting one shot from physical damage because defences are halved

[thorny token]

what defenses, just use cloak of flame

[tidal copper]

Giving the current state of armour

I would vote for the cloak too

Dealing with physical DMG in the bottom of the tree is very hard right now

Cloak helps a bit with bigger hits but yeah

[median knot]

i guess i could try it

[blissful river]

anyone know the price of a morior invictus 5 socket? (cheapest 4 socket with global/rarity is 2 div). few builds ive seen recommends this

[thorny token]

just use the filter?

[blissful river]

was playing with gem socket filter and didnt see that one. no wonder it didnt work. ty

[median knot]

new problem, my character is too dumb to put this dress on

[solid thorn]

help to price check this one

[static plinth]

Vendor trash #price-check📉

[amber oar]

When using that helm that ignites everything in your presence for 100 dmg how often does it apply the ignite to the mobs if you are using a skill to consume the ignite?

[sinful mountain]

hey guys, could anyone perhaps help me or point me in the right direction of a good leveling build for merc?

[amber oar]

Is this your first play through or are you trying to speed level?

[sinful mountain]

first play through, i don’t feel like i’m doing enough damage at all lmao

made it to act 2 by a miracle lol

[wise plover]

Can someone point me to converting minions build to demon form for endgame lvl 80

[amber oar]

In my opinion, mercenary feels like shit early game. Feels much better later on.

[jovial blade]

does a body armor possible to get a rarity item affixes?

[sinful mountain]

really? my buddy had told me that he breezed through it, first play through and all

[jovial blade]

i've been looking for it for some time now. and i haven't seen one in body armor

[sinful mountain]

maybe i haven’t given it enough time? idk, most fights feel like pulling teeth cause it takes so long

[amber oar]

I’m not sure what the current crossbow leveling meta is. Probably whatever the first result is on YouTube. I leveled as pillar of the cage god melee build and cheesed the whole thing.

[solemn cosmos]

Quick question
For mods like
Critical chance increase from helm glove etc and
Critical chance for spell from wand focus etc
They add up before multiply by base spell crit rate right

[solemn cosmos]

That is poe1

[amber oar]

Doesn’t roll on body armour

[solemn cosmos]

Or is that poe2

[amber oar]

It is Poe 2

[solemn cosmos]

Ooo

I dont use that site

[jovial blade]

ohhh thats why i never got one

[amber oar]

Craft of exile has a poe1 and poe2 section

[solemn cosmos]

I just check on poe2db

Anyidea on my question?

[tidal copper]

What?
Crit base of spell/attack*crit chance

[solemn cosmos]

I am asking if crit chance and crit chance with spells adds together before multiply with base crit

Or 1 by 1

[amber oar]

I believe the answer isyes

[solemn cosmos]

Thanks

[tidal copper]

Oh so if other crit modifiers will work multiplicatively?
No I don't think any crit mod works multiplicatively

[static plinth]

Base crit + Flat crit * Sum of all increased crit * More Crit

If its generic inc critical chance and inc spell critical chance you just add them together

[solemn cosmos]

Yeah i was thinking how some build claim be to 100% crit rate

They just have insane jewel

Easy to build
Proceed to spent 5div plus for 7 jewel each

[uncut loom]

Hi guys, anyone here can help me with the Enhanced Reflexes Passive node? does it increase dex by 8%? or is it bugged?

because when I use it it doesnt add 8% off my dex

just a flat 17.

[solemn cosmos]

Do u have like other source of %dex

Also whats your dex

[uncut loom]

My dex is 302

[solemn cosmos]

Stats stacking?

[uncut loom]

I got the 5% attribute stack from Regalia and Sun Crest

[solemn cosmos]

Using that helm? That increase dex str int by %

Yeah

[uncut loom]

Yes

[solemn cosmos]

U dont add 8% cause

It uses base dex

Not increased dex that is affect by % gears

[uncut loom]

does polymathy affect it as well or not?

[solemn cosmos]

Idk what that bode/iten is

[uncut loom]

it's the passive node as well

most likely it doesnt

[solemn cosmos]

Basically just add all your % stats

Then multiply by base dex

[uncut loom]

Got it

so in this regard

adding flat dex is better than the 8%

[solemn cosmos]

No

% is great

You just need more base dex

Which u cam get on any gear

[uncut loom]

the 8% only adds 17 compared to the flat 16 dex that I can put in

[solemn cosmos]

Yeah but as u get more dex from attribute node

U get more out of % dex

[uncut loom]

it'll be higher

Gotcha, thanks for this!

[solemn cosmos]

For now maybe 16 flat is better

[uncut loom]

but for now the additional 16 flat is better

cause it makes my dex 325

[solemn cosmos]

U cant have 100% increase dex but low dex u need to balance them out

[uncut loom]

compared to the 319 with the 8%

[solemn cosmos]

Yeah

[tough valley]

why is olroth's resolve good? 😮

i dont understand why its so expensive, so im obviously missing something

[solemn cosmos]

Whats that

[tough valley]

unique life flask

[solemn cosmos]

Oh

Cause unique

[atomic halo]

tons of hit pool

for the price of the life flask

how else can you get so much raw numbers from such a slot

[tough valley]

what do you mean?

[solemn cosmos]

Guard

Its like a shield

[rocky pilot]

Question for Archmage Knowers, is there a time where you graduate from Everlasting Gaze?

[solemn cosmos]

Never

[tough valley]

so essentially everytime i hit the flask i get 1.1k extra hp is that it?

[solemn cosmos]

Unless your build does no go es

[solemn cosmos]

Idk i dont have it but if u calculate it right

Then yes

[atomic halo]

basically yeah

[rocky pilot]

hmm

[tough valley]

i mean im just looking at 20% quality flask on trade site XD

[rocky pilot]

yeah i want to graduate to no ES and full mana eventually so i can use a +3 spell skill amulet

[tough valley]

gotcha thanks

[static plinth]

It lets you get ehp out of a slot that doesnt normally grant it

[solemn cosmos]

Then yes i guess

[tough valley]

and you can have 100% uptime on it?

[static plinth]

Depends on how often you get hit

[kind crest]

Do totems count as ‘hit’ skills

Was wondering due to a node that specifies 30 percent more damage on hits against burning enemies

[atomic halo]

totems hit yes

anything that isn't damage over time hits

[kind crest]

Ok so that’d work with artillery ballista then nice

[atomic halo]

yeah

[kind crest]

Great

My ignite ballista build is coming together

[solemn cosmos]

When u got tons of dmg and mana

Enough that u can take hits without ending your life

[empty spire]

im new and messing around with a minion monk build, would going the chaos monk asendancy just completely ruin that?

cause spirit is just removed?

[somber pendant]

only if you get the darkness ascendancy for chayula monk

my chayula monk still uses spirit

[empty spire]

i havent reached the point where i can get an ascendancy so idk, but are you talking about the node that removes spirit?

[somber pendant]

i thought you were

[empty spire]

yeah

so if i do go with that ascendancy, ill basically be locked out of half of it

[somber pendant]

the other half doesnt do alot for minions either but im not sure how much invoker does as i havent played that one yet

[empty spire]

lmao i dont think that either does

i dont think minions are meant to be used with monk

im just doing it for fun

[somber pendant]

im doing warbringer with reavers for fun 😄

phys/chaos damage build

[empty spire]

WHAT

INVOKER GIVES SPRRIT

[somber pendant]

looks like you found your ascendancy ;P

[empty spire]

oh. cannot get spirit from equipment.

though i might like this cause i hate needing to use a scepter

ahhh this is so hard, im so indicicive

ill stop thinking about it now i guess, i dont even know hwo to ascend

[atomic halo]

isnt it exactly what you want

spirit but you cant use a sceptre

yeah

it's not pure upside for a ton of spirit

[static plinth]

Could use Matsya if you still want a minion wep

Halves the cost of minion skills

[empty spire]

oh what

thats so cool

[static plinth]

Well, all spirit costs

But that includes minions

[empty spire]

yeah yeah

that sounds amazing

but i dont know how much spirit invoker will give me later

like, i think id get like 5 spirit

and i dont know how things scale later

[static plinth]

It gets up to around 100

iirc

[empty spire]

so with matsya that would give me like 4 skeleton soldiers

[static plinth]

8

Unless theyre 100 spirit by default

[empty spire]

oh yeah im wrong i meant archers

[static plinth]

100 base + 100 from invoker

[empty spire]

but i also only have lvl 3 archers

[empty spire]

wdym 100 base?

[static plinth]

You get 100 spirit from the campaign

[empty spire]

ah

that would be a lot of soldiers actually

and 8 archers at lvl 3, idk if the cost gets lower than 50 or not

[static plinth]

It does

[empty spire]

oh nice

[gray hull]

Q for the gemmlings, I have pillar on my new alt, what did you guys do for leveling passive and skill wise?

I have good uniques to level up for stat stacking but i'm feeling a little lost on what passives to take and what skills to start out with, I mean like level 4 onwards

i'm thinking falling thunder and killing palm maybe?

[quasi breach]

can i get some assistance with stampede? im unsure how this skill is not working for me

[devout valve]

Is 3688 DPS, 36 crit chance and 195% crit damage on frost minions good enough? Or should I invest more into it

[solemn cosmos]

What level

[devout valve]

Level 90

Skill gem level 19

[solemn cosmos]

3.6k dps?

How much per hit

[fiery wave]

man the gemling stat stacking pathing feels so good so many ms nodes. already have 47% with all bonuses in act 1 cruel

40%+ the ms feels alright in this game

[solemn cosmos]

Why do you even need ms when u can just move with the skill

[fiery wave]

sometimes theres no nerds

unless you dont mean fist skills

[solemn cosmos]

Tempest fury i think

I move faster then my ranger friend with that

[fiery wave]

🤔

i think im missing sth

[solemn cosmos]

More stats

[fiery wave]

because of the agi?

well im only in act 3 cruel

[solemn cosmos]

?

Ah ic

[fiery wave]

act 1 cruel

[solemn cosmos]

Then seems fast

[fiery wave]

yeah

i assume in endgame i cant have 10 ms nodes but im trying to get all of them

i right now have 25% boots, 10% chest

and a bunch of nodes on the tree

[solemn cosmos]

Assuming you dont lose dmg to kill mobs

Seems like a good build for leveling

[fiery wave]

not really

i mean emyprian was faster but i think thats the herald of ice

i havent looked any builds up so i run herald of fire and lightning rn and everything dies quite fast

i was just about to look at the ice thing

i did start with the squid helmet and caged god and that makes you do so much damage early its insane

its on my warrior now but that helmet that gives +40 to all stats and then -1 per level

[solemn cosmos]

Thats bad

Cause you are lvl 40 plus?

[fiery wave]

i dont use it on the gemling anymore

i have the % helm now

im just saying the start is so fast if you start with helmet and caged god

[floral elm]

I dont understand the bonus from the quality of Earthquake. I thought i would be able to make more aftershocks since i can make more jagged grounds. is this bugged? even with more atk speed i can only make 1 aftershock

[half owl]

anyone did bow warrior es build

[hybrid ocean]

What interaction would you be trying to leverage there?

[quasi breach]

can anyone here message me relating to stampede n how it works properly? A call would be good to. I'm currently tryin to use it but its not exploding or dealing dmg. at most it's priming targets and i have 145% stun build up already w/ 4 slot lv 19.

[thin basin]

anybody knows if trigger skills count as being used recently

sounds like it should right?

[merry bone]

Recently is 4 seconds

[thin basin]

yes but im asking if me triggering a spell would make it count as being used recently

[merry bone]

of course

[thin basin]

good

[static plinth]

You havent used the spell

Triggered =/= Cast/Used

[thin basin]

this is for rising tempest in the cast on stuff

[static plinth]

Pretty sure you gotta manually use for that

[merry bone]

If thats the case - their wording is incorrect.

which is always possible

[tulip fog]

does this support work with channeled abilities like incinerate?

[pseudo owl]

Does Asceticism work with Eldritch Battery?

[tulip fog]

well, it should work, but it wont give you any desirable effect, it will most likely make your stun threshold 0

since you wont have any energy shield

unless you use certain uniques

[viral crag]

I'm really starting to miss the phrase "Damage over time multiplier"

[merry bone]

its just magnitude now right?

[viral crag]

For ailments, yes.

[mellow marsh]

what runes should i put in this? i haven't played archer yet

[grim pike]

anyone managed a decent chaos physical chayula build yet?

[mellow marsh]

i guess with bow it's possible, on my ssf acolyte i went full int chaos dot build with wand

[grim pike]

nah trying to find one with a Qstaff

[mellow marsh]

i was thinking about which melee wep can be used for physical, but i don't think mace would work, i might be wrong

[grim pike]

rather than just a weaker bro ranger/witch

[mellow marsh]

there is no quarterstaff physical build imho

every good spell converts phys to elemental damage

[grim pike]

yeah feels that way - wish they had a normal chaos attack with staff

[mellow marsh]

we will see, there are still 1-2 spells not implemented for quarterstaff

but for melle phys build we have to wait for dagger or something like that probably 😄

[grim pike]

I mean I feel chayula is meant to be a melee build just no options for it at the moment

don't think they intended it to be a bow only meta haha

[mellow marsh]

yeah, but half of chayula nodes are dead, and no proper melee weapon for it either

it will be buffer/reworked 100%

that darkness shit is the most useless thing ever in any ascendance tree xd

[grim pike]

does consuming questions work yet?

[dawn spire]

If you're somehow able to move during a channel skill without teleporting, then yes

[cosmic bobcat]

How does the Blood Mage's Sanguimancy node interact with nodes that reduce mana cost of skills? (E.g. Conservative Casting: 8% reduced Mana Cost of Skills). Does the mana cost reduction apply before I gain the life cost, thus reducing the life cost?

[tulip fog]

yes, with incinerate you can slowly walk and with a support that reduces a part of the movespeed penalty applied by channeling the skill you can move at a somewhat OK pace though still rather slow.
the reason i asked is to try to determine if it works with channeled abilities at all since they are technically repeated rapid uses of the same skill

[olive compass]

Besides using the support gem that gives 100% armour break on heavy stun, is there another way to get this 100% without this support gem? I only found a 50% armour break on heavy stun on one passive node...

[static thicket]

Anyone know if going CI to reduce ailment res -> getting fireflower amulet -> utilizing "shaper of winter" ascendancy node will result in self chilling?

Or will it not affect the self damage?

[static plinth]

Flower isnt your own damage i dont think

[static thicket]

hmm testing doesn't seem difficult i just need to level a stormweaver

id assume if thats the case than heartbound loop wouldnt be my own dmg either

[stone cedar]

anyone know why my harold of ice isnt working?

i have cold damage on my bow quiver and my rings

[trim oriole]

did it not explode when the enemy died or something?

[dusty rock]

Whats best amulet to run with invoker monk?

[crisp star]

will titan's ascendancy also affect the time -lost jewel effect on small nodes?

or does it only affect the base effect of the small nodes?

[dry sandal]

Widowhale 310 Corrupted or 250 non-corrupted. What's the preference? Spark build.

[hoary radish]

Which are the optimal support gems for Spark (mana stacking build)

I do have troubles surviving boss fights due to my mana not regening VIA jewel. but my dps is pretty decent, but not enough to instantly burst most boses.

[bright bluff]

Does anyone have a guide for using demonform to blaze through the campaign or does everyone recommend using a minion infernalist build and then respecing after getting to maps?

Currently in act 3 and wanting to change over

[supple jay]

Is there any way to increase rapid fire heat cap outside of quality

[celest oxide]

Thinking about joining the darkside and trying to make a spark sorc tbh

I wanna try sorc and Spark the only one I'm finding fleshed out guides for

[supple jay]

Sucks I kinda wanted to make a build around using emergency reload shard scav and cast on ignite elemental discharge to make a nonstop rapid fire build

But since heat is capped it's pointless

[swift mason]

can anyone reccomend a good breach farming build im running infernalist with arsonist and its hard for me to get more spirit for more minions

[pastel valley]

is there a Ranger meta? which build is it?

[stoic fulcrum]

Best place / method to farm support gems?

[merry bone]

play the game

[pastel dagger]

im looking for the hand of wisdom, anyone?

[merry bone]

Drops from Xesht

[thin flame]

Anyone got a good Hexblast Demon Mommy build?

[merry bone]

should check out Maxroll and Mobalytics

[supple jay]

does shard scav work with fresh clip?

I assume not

[stiff hinge]

Is there a way to add tags to gems like in poe1?
Like cruelty adding duration tag to skills

can i add a fire tag to anything?

[craggy ice]

you could probably put together an okay build with some uniques like original sin, but you'd still be using elemental skills lol

its pretty hard to make an actual chaos/physical quarterstaff build because good chaos/physical dps skills for monk aren't exactly that prevalent right now

you could probably make something with work flicker strike / wind blast and a bunch of % of damage as extra chaos damage modifiers

maybe like mantra -> charged flicker strike

[finite crow]

How come it’s saying my quiver stats will be ignored when I’m literally using a bow and have the required stats

[eager pulsar]

will having 0 loot rarity make me get more white items or i will simply get almost nothing at all like during campaign

[humble wave]

If I play Chaos Incubation i dont need chaos resist right? I noticed my 1 hp globe still turns purple

[ruby turret]

im i not understanding how this works to think this doesn't sound good? base surge is 10% cast speed and 20% mana regen would that not be super minor improvements?

[viscid sail]

for witch/infernalist.. what are some if any.. "big nodes" that are worth getting? like.. giants blood for warriors but.. for witches/infernalists

cause idk what to prioritize in skill to get

[supple jay]

does the added fire damage from flame wall happen after all the damage scaling of your skill?

like it doesnt add to the base damage your skill/weapon scales off of right

[wet kernel]

is there a way to search up mods for megalomaniac?

[azure wyvern]

I have heard totems don't get all the bonuses from some passive from the Tree (maybe bugs).
What passives would those be?

Heard imploding impacts from warbringer doesnt work

[craggy ice]

40% increase of 10% cast speed and 20% mana regen

so you'd have 14% cast speed and 28% mana regen

[ruby turret]

thats... not good right? i see builds using it but that whole path seems really bad... right?

[wet mango]

Fixed a bug where Siege Cascade was targeting Vine Arrow plants and Frostwall Ice Crystals.

https://tenor.com/view/godfather-massacre-sad-gif-16810633

[ruby turret]

it looks like 4 points for super minimal gain

[wet mango]

T____T

[craggy ice]

honestly not sure

i dont play stormweaver but i think you're meant to stack it with the stormweaver notables that give permanent arcane surge and increased arcane surge bonuses

[minor vortex]

Best level 1 supports for herald of thunder?

[mossy sequoia]

What's the easiest way to get mana leech on a melee titan?

[tropic willow]

RIP

[minor tree]

any stand out winners from the unique items in the patch notes?

i'm looking at the painter's servant being up to +30% extra damage, seems interesting

[tropic willow]

that, original sin, and chober chaber

[outer tapir]

does anyone know if black flame converts the presence ignite from Radiant Grief

[minor tree]

ohhh those are interesting

that original sin buff is big

[tropic willow]

probably the biggest buff there

[minor tree]

and +50 spirit is interesting

[azure wyvern]

What would be alternative defence (other than armor) when we have a LOT of STR but body armor slot is already used?

[minor tree]

atziri's disdain can add a fair bit of energy shield if you have a lot of health

i'm using that + cloak of flame on my totem/warcry warbringer

[viral loom]

hello need help to get strong as lighting deadeye

[viral stirrup]

So how do we fix the nerf to autobomber blood mage

I just got it online

[sharp thorn]

Hello. How to search against the darkness mods I want? It looks like the trade website don't have the parameters, but maybe there is the way around?

[minor tree]

which nerf?

[hybrid ocean]

Is there some kind of giant's blood build now with Chober chaber?

Also huh

lightning conduit unchanged?

Wack

[tidal copper]

There is

[opal wing]

hmm i cant seem to figure out with minion pact on a staff skill and profane chagre on reapers invocatino why it wont proc a charge

[sterile stone]

minion pact damages your minion and reaper gain energy on enemy melee kills, not sure what interaction youre looking for

maybe youre looking for cast on minion death?

[opal wing]

err it should proc according to this build

[sterile stone]

the reaper will proc if you do melee kills

[opal wing]

yeah its redunacy to keep the chain going for power charges

[sterile stone]

yeah it has nothing to do with minion pact at all, so im not sure why it isnt proc if youre doing melee kills

[opal wing]

yeah lingering illsusoon with persistance and quarterstaff strike with minion pact SHOULD generate a power charge

[sterile stone]

oh the tech is to kill the illusion with minion pact

[opal wing]

yeah

[sterile stone]

maybe they fixed it? copies that are destroyed by an ENEMY will grant you a Power Charge.

[opal wing]

hmm.. this was just released 2 days ago so maybe

[grim pasture]

I’ve never tried, but can I re allocate a new passive skill to my amulet if one is already in it?

[humble mesa]

Looking to make a new character as I got a bit bored of Monk.
Figured I'd ask here, what's a good power farming, fast super end-game class / build?

[sterile stone]

but if the gem specify destroyed by enemy, killing it with minion pact doesnt seem to be intended and will be fixed even if it works now

[opal wing]

widowhail unique bow and a godo quiver. itll power level you real fast. use lighting arrow til you can get gas arrow

[opal wing]

yeah ima use cast on c rit with profane ritual and see how that goes

[lapis plume]

Hi, is it known if there's a negative resistance cap on monsters?

Couldn't find anything online

[sterile stone]

i dont know, but i know people run -200+ ligtning res with doryanis in poe 1

[lapis plume]

yeah -200 is the cap in poe1 afaik

but I think you could pull like -300 in poe2 so that could be fun

Trying to cook a doryani build, defences are ass tho since every piece of gear has different attr base

I miss something like a weak AoE RF-like spell so mobs couldn't even get to me

[sterile stone]

decompose

[opal wing]

guh qwell thats a wate of an hours worth of work. oh welll

[lapis plume]

If we had fire to lightning conv it could do the job

[sterile stone]

dont we have it?

[lapis plume]

Painter's is the only way I can think of

I guess vaaled could go to like 40% lightning, but to make use of the damage taken multi we have to do some damage first lmao

[sterile stone]

oh nvm i miss remember the 100 fire to cold gloves, thinking it was lightning, but yeah 2 step conversion prolly at best

fire > cold > lightning

[lapis plume]

Conv is limited to one step on gear afaik so it wouldn't work

Okay I've got a funny idea

demon form dodge is something like 4m+, what if I went full negative lightning, cast on dodge ice nova with lightning conv and hard AoE scalling

[sterile stone]

i think it does work

blueflame + brotherhood

[lapis plume]

check the explosion tag

[sterile stone]

oh wait wrong panel

[lapis plume]

yeah

[sterile stone]

[lapis plume]

yeah that could actually work i think

and we get some lightning damage mitigation from infernalist to offset the lack of resistances

[minor tree]

cast on dodge demon form sounds fun, has it been done before?

(also rip stitched demon helm abuse)

[lapis plume]

I don't think so, I've been thinking about it since the release basically

[hybrid ocean]

Is there any poe1 precedent to indicate how exactly the 'no energy gain by triggered skills' will function?

[sterile stone]

why ice nova?

[lapis plume]

I've spent like 50div on demon form cast on ignite yesterday and couldn't get it to work so I'm kinda mad at it rn

[lapis plume]

It has full AoE coverage so it would help with being a glass cannon

[minor tree]

well with ghostwrithe and mings, a few hundred stacks is reasonable (either with flat regen, or flasks + recoup infernal flame shenanigans)

if you get 1-2 spells per dodge that's enough

[hybrid ocean]

Demon form unequips all items, right?

[minor tree]

all weapons

[lapis plume]

and offhands

[hybrid ocean]

Yeah, mb

[minor tree]

you need your hands free to hold all that spell damage

[sterile stone]

all items means -60 all reas

insta rip

[hybrid ocean]

And it like, fully unequips them as if doing a weapon swap, right?

[minor tree]

yes

[lapis plume]

But for the doryani it would have to be limited to 10 stacks since our gear is already set up

I think it could still do some numbers tho

dang ice nova has shit flat

[minor tree]

maybe yolo sparks on dodge

[lapis plume]

yeah seems the most reasonable and allows for a second ventor's instead of brotherhood

[hybrid ocean]

What about Arc?

Nvm, like 45% more energy cost

But Arc really likes extra spell levels, since more chains = more damage

Might not make up for it simply being a worse spell though

[lapis plume]

Yeah just gimme my RF, I was trying to make something RF-like for over a month lmao

[wet mango]

it doesn't convert anything, but yes enemies will take that ignite damage as chaos

[wet mango]

they made an RF build have you seen it yet? Righteous Flatulence

[sterile stone]

did they fixed this?

[wet mango]

huge dmg and coverage and good boss damage too

[lapis plume]

dang, I've missed it, thanks

[wet mango]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zY8gfmI84A
enjoy

[lapis plume]

I've been also thinking about soing something like lightning warp with myris uxor, pairing it with some trigger sounds like absolute epilepsy lmao

[hybrid ocean]

Oh, is it nonfunctional?

[sterile stone]

yep the chain doesnt give more damage rn

[hybrid ocean]

That explains why it feels like such abysmal dogshit

[sterile stone]

bascially just -50% less damage

and 1 socket used

[lapis plume]

Ohh yeah decompose I've heard of, just the name was new

[hybrid ocean]

By the way, any way to get this to take a negative value on mobile?

Wait

-1

[lapis plume]

Quite funny that it doesn't work in demon form, like cmon it's not microsoft flight simulator

[sterile stone]

wont it just works the same as pc

[hybrid ocean]

Copy paste

Really obvious in hindsight

[hybrid ocean]

Yeah, issue was inputting it

[sterile stone]

oh you cant wrote - in mobile?

ahh just saw your keyboard

just change it

[lapis plume]

I'm a mobile dev, you wouldn't believe how much 'wrong keyboard type' bug requests I've done

Lmao

[sterile stone]

wdym by that?

[jade stone]

Anyone doing attribute stacking gemling trying to find an endgame build guide

[sterile stone]

what were the requests?

[hybrid ocean]

User uses wrong keyboard, submits it as bug to dev who has nothing to do with this

Or so I imagine

[karmic wigeon]

similarly looking for any build guide stuff. I know it's still early

[hybrid ocean]

Yeah, that could've been solved by thinking about it myself for 10 seconds. Was just already here in question mode, so here we are

[lapis plume]

I mean it's very often that someone will forget to put a right flag in the code to use, for example here, a keyboard with a - sign

It's a code thing, theres like 15 types of keyboards

[sterile stone]

aaahhh

[hybrid ocean]

What are you using for a helmet? Just a glimpse of Chaos for negative lightning res?

[lapis plume]

Yeah I've put a glimpse in my maxroll sheet for now

Double ventors, shackles of the wretched to self curse with conductivity

[hybrid ocean]

There's a relatively cheap one right now

[hybrid ocean]

Lol

[lapis plume]

If there's no cap I guess rondel of fragility could also be used, although it leaves almost no room for defences or sth

[hybrid ocean]

Using the +1 dodge distance amulet I assume

[lapis plume]

Ah for the cast on dodge version, yeah that could be an option

[hybrid ocean]

I've heard somewhere it's -200%

[lapis plume]

100% sure for poe1 but I couldn't get info on poe2

[viral stirrup]

https://youtu.be/17_eBppkTlg?si=Vwn4jp74up2OcRA5

[lapis plume]

200% would be kinda lame

I mean strong but not broken

[viral stirrup]

Legit bought temp start of day for 115 Div now worth 40, rip me

Feelsgoodman

[hybrid ocean]

How are you even going to reach 200?

[jovial blade]

what do you guys think of chaos sorc build?

[hybrid ocean]

You're getting like -40 a piece from curse and rings, -30 from helmet

That's only 180

And then 30 from the campaign

Wait, was it 30?

Will it stay 30?

[lapis plume]

-60% base
-80% perfect ventor's
-30% glimpse of chaos

• +/- -40% from conductivity depends on the setup
• -30% from the rondel

also these can be corrupted

aaaand

ingenuity

so it could get to like 70? from one ring

[hybrid ocean]

Oh, ingenuity

True

[lapis plume]

So like 300% negative with expensive gear

[hybrid ocean]

But you're better off I think getting lightning quality on your vendor's than corrupting it, right?

[sharp thorn]

Also use lightning quality on ventors. They will have 20% more lr reduction.

[lapis plume]

why not both

[hybrid ocean]

'Spensive

Since you have to quality and corrupt them yourself

So not just more expensive, but exponentially so

[lapis plume]

Oh yeah

[hybrid ocean]

Lowest on the market is -46

[lapis plume]

Well even assuming -200% it's like 3x damage taken for mobs

Dang, that would need PoB to check if the tradeoffs are worth it

[hybrid ocean]

Yeah, and its own multiplicative axis

The biggest loss is cast speed from rings

Well, in terms of damage that is

[sharp thorn]

Yeah. But good luck surviving. Doryani only works in presence, which is around half the screen.

[hybrid ocean]

You can get increased presence radius

[lapis plume]

I mean, grim feast kinda equals immortality rn

[old oriole]

OH MY GOD

[sharp thorn]

Not when you are in "everything onetaps you" zone.

[lapis plume]

Also the cast on dodge variant sounds fun if it could kill everything in radius

[lapis plume]

Yeah that wouldn't be a deli runner for sure

[hybrid ocean]

I feel like demon form is probably not worth it

How much faster is the dodge recovery?

Because you'll always be competing with a Seeing Stars in offhand

[lapis plume]

The recovery is not much faster but the distance is like 4x normal one

[old oriole]

i can finally use orignal sin without having 0 chaos

[hybrid ocean]

Wait, that much? Multiplicative with Surefoot or no?

Also, may want to consider Alpha's Howl instead of Glimpse of Chaos

The extra spirit is nice, and cold resist shifts some pressure on your ventor's

[jovial blade]

does black flame benefit from fire increase or chaos increase?

[hybrid ocean]

Fire

[tranquil raptor]

Im looking at guide for recommended gear and it's "heavy drinker" stuff mentioned here. Does it mean that amulet should have this buff? because i cant find any

[jovial blade]

ohhhhhh. so why bother changing from regular fire to chaos(black fire)?

[hybrid ocean]

Resistances usually

And maybe like some esoteric stuff like chaotic freeze or whatever its called (not sure if that works)

[jovial blade]

oh im bricked

[brittle anvil]

you annoint using delirium stuffs

[barren yoke]

you can check what you need for a specific notable by hovering it in passive tree and holding alt (dont know controller)
heavy drinker specifically is 3 distilled envy
right clicking an emotion in inventory will open the instilling panel

[coarse steeple]

Little doubt, if you put lightning mastery in sorcery ward, the +1 applies to all lightning skill you have or to lightning absortion of the ward, or does nothing?

Because i've seen many people using the 3 masteries with it, but i don't understand what it really does that

[hybrid ocean]

Huh

Just reading skeletal storm mage, this seems really bad, but I've never checked it out in game

Is it any good in practice?

[rancid verge]

hello, does ingenuity utility belt affect Kalandra's Touch Ring as well?

[rich sigil]

So the spark manastacker is not going to get nerfed right?

[hybrid ocean]

@lapis plume Consider multiple copies of cast on shock w/ball lightning, and then lightning warp

[rich sigil]

Planning to buy equipments for the build, I hope its not getting nerfed

[hybrid ocean]

You can read the patch notes in #old-game-news

[hybrid ocean]

Actually, maybe the move is to reverse this

Spam super fast ball lightning with stacked shock chance, and then warp to them constantly

[stoic hornet]

Even tho Temporalis is going to get nerfed so it cant reduce the cooldown of skills below 100ms dont Blink Autobomber builds still work anyway? Sure a bit worse but still work

[hybrid ocean]

Yep

20 blinks per second with ingenuity is still crazy

Possibly a hit less with oversampling from human input & framerate

[tranquil raptor]

thanks

[tranquil raptor]

thank you

[hushed viper]

Hello, whats the difference between extra cold vs increased cold? If Im primarily doing cold anyways isnt it better to just get increased?

[glad bone]

increased cold is a scaling layer found among others on the tree, generally you'll see diminishing returns with this

extra damage takes a percentage of the base damage, before any scaling, and adds base damage of that type. increased scaling is applied after 'extra'.

for example, you have a base cold hit of 100

your passive tree/etc gives you 100% increased cold and 30% increased spell damage, totalling 130% increased damage.

you have 10% extra dealt as cold.

the base hit becomes 100+10 cold damage due to extra.

then, 130% increased damage scales them to 230+23

(technically this counts as one combined hit in the final result, for further calculations like ailments)

[thorny patio]

Working on grenade build notice not much grenade modes what else should be looking for

[glad bone]

grenades have projectile, area, and attack tags

read the tooltip for the skill, it shows it on the top

[thorny patio]

Neat thx

[tidal copper]

Can you recharge faster investing in energy shield recharge

[hushed viper]

damn, I actually understood all that. Great explanation, thank you!

[glad bone]

no, because it's life recharge. "recharges INSTEAD of energy shield", it never hits the ES layer at all.

[glad bone]

you're welcome! it's not crazy complicated if you build your understanding layer by layer

[tidal copper]

I'll test it I doubt they made it non scalable

But it does make sense to think that with that text ...?

[hushed viper]

yeah, just trying to navigate archmage and cold spells, which bonuses apply first and all that. Will get it down eventually, hopefully, maybe

[glad bone]

the reason that was considered fine is because ES flask is a very powerful effect

[tight raft]

guys, does leech actually work rn?

I have both life and mana leech of my gloves but I can't seem to see either working

[glad bone]

extra damage and/or conversion is always first, no silly stuff like cold+fire scaling on a converted spell

if you want multi-element scaling your options are 'elemental', 'spell', or 'attack' damage. threaded light is nice for this

[glad bone]

monsters have leech resistance, it won't be very noticeable leeching if your damage is super low. also make sure you're looking at the right type of damage, most leech is physical only (so you won't get anything from dealing elemental damage, for example with converted damage from ele weapon skills)

[hushed viper]

because I have a wand that has spell damage, extra cold and extra lightning + archmage lightning damage bonus. Extra cold and lightning first, then Archmage then spell damage?

[glad bone]

archmage lies in the extra damage layer, it does not add extra extra damage

so for example, say you have archmage +60% and wand +10% lightning, you get +60+10%, not +60+16%

[rapid galleon]

Hey guys. Need some information or Tips. I build a Detonate Dead Bloodmage. Atm im using Phys + Crit + Spell dmg - Wouldn't it be better if u just push Phys Dmg ? Im not know how the Calculation work. Any Ideas?

[steady birch]

is + lightning damage applies to both attack and spell? specifically for monk

[winter vortex]

Is 200% increased rarity enough at mid-endgame?

[glad bone]

yes

[glad bone]

way more than enough, soft cap is 100% which gives about 10-20% 'more loot'

[hushed viper]

Ahaaaa, I see. Making sense. Thank you again

[steady birch]

feels like the word around is diminishing returns for rarity, so prob good to only aim at 100%+

[glad bone]

crit does work with detonate dead

[winter vortex]

So.. chance on kill 200% total?

[tight raft]

I have a 480 bow with like 450physical on it

[rapid galleon]

Found a guide which says - Change DMG to pure Phys + Crit = work

[glad bone]

the rarity formula is not known, but as far as we can tell it's about 1% more good loot per 10% rarity, up to 100% rarity where it suddenly gets worse

[tight raft]

is that app out yet for creating builds?

[glad bone]

tomorrow

[tight raft]

this was said on Monday xD

[winter vortex]

So total equipment +% should amount 100%?

[glad bone]

if you're optimizing yea, just don't expect double loot from that, the number is deceptive

[glad bone]

it got said again =p

[winter vortex]

Yea. I noticed. Thanks. Was wondering if the 400% drop build I saw online was worth following

[glad bone]

the actual number that produces is around 20% 'more loot'

it's been tested

[winter vortex]

Dang

Thanks

[glad bone]

yw

never trust youtube builds XD

[thorny token]

the rarity formula is actually motly known, they confirmed its same as poe1

[glad bone]

that makes sense cause it was bad there too

[tidal copper]

What if you had Eldritch battery will your life flasks be mana

[thorny token]

well it mostly just confirms that ideal rarity amount you should have is between 100 and 200

and every build should grab at least 50+

[pearl sluice]

Does malice + Fast forward (30% less skill effect duration) make malice tick faster? So enemies get more crit weakness faster?

[glad bone]

no, your life flasks will just do nothing because you dont have ES to restore

[steady birch]

is clarity support gem active 100% of the time as long as the spirit gem is turned on? its not due to procs?

[thorny token]

its active yes

[glad bone]

i don't think you can even support malice with that because it's not a duration skill? my guess is it might reduce how long crit weak remains on

[hybrid ocean]

How would you go about getting ES/other defenses on a Doryani's prototype build?

[thorny token]

most of stuff works like that, it should also adjust tooltip

and you can indeed support malice with fast forward

[glad bone]

armor

[thorny token]

but the issue is it will also reduce crit weakness duration

as thats how it works with withering presence too

so its effectivelly useless

[pearl sluice]

yeah, doesnt change the frequency apparently

Just the duration

Which is yeh, pointless

[hybrid ocean]

This is a good suggestion. However, two things:

• Armor is terrible
• Doryani's does not give very much of it

[glad bone]

well the unique basically reads as 'you're gonna take lightning the same way you take phys', so technically you've gotta make up for the lightning res gap somehow

it functioned nearly the same in poe1 and people built armor

[hybrid ocean]

Wasn't armor way better back then?

[glad bone]

yes

[hybrid ocean]

Well, in any case, say that we do

Where do you get this armor? The belt, ring and presumably helmet slots are all taken

[thin basin]

Literally sold a temporalist last night

Now its got nerfed can buy it back for half price

[glad bone]

could get a little bit extra from iron reflexes, off the doryani. plus whatever else you can find

[lone berry]

yo this mean as long as my Es still up , i won't be able to get freeze right ?

[thorny token]

osin 30 divs now lul

[glad bone]

no, this means it requires twice as much cold damage to freeze you (assuming 1 life and no other ailment threshold effects)

well, not literally twice

but basically freeze builds up according to a hidden ailment threshold value, which is normally an amount based on your life

[lone berry]

so is it worth to spend on is ? since i am using charm for immunity

[glad bone]

it'd work, but just to trigger your charm less often

[thorny token]

if you are ES build you should be grabbing icebreaker if you can its pretty op

just switch the freeze charm to stun or rarity

[winter vortex]

Any tips on increasing my dps as stormwvr (25k Spark(19) - lv87)? I have azure pendant. No idea what else to invest on

[lone berry]

i mean i have 10k ES , and trying to use time-less jewer

[glad bone]

other charms are so bad though lmao stun one doesnt even remove the first stun

[hybrid ocean]

I guess. Big issue with this is that afaict there are no strength based lightning skills, and that part of the tree is pretty far

Closest thing would be PotCG tempest flurry, I suppose

[glad bone]

you're definitely working with jank atm

[hybrid ocean]

But there are ways to build that that are just... better

[thorny token]

i mean rarity charm is rly good if they have low rarity

[thin basin]

Wait why the price jump i thought it was bad

[thorny token]

it was buffed

and it was good even before

[lone berry]

do two rarity charm work ?

[thorny token]

it just required CI

[thorny token]

2 are kinda pointless

its just for distributing charges

but they wont both get effect at once

[thin basin]

Oh havrnt gotten there

[hybrid ocean]

Aye. I'll probably take the approach where I just stop worrying and learn to love the bomb (me)

I'm thinking Ball Lightning + CoS Lightning Warp

[thorny token]

should've grabbed more osins than only 1 rip

was considering buying more before

[lone berry]

btw , charm also work like extra res right ? i mean i have 0 lighting res rn , and if i used lighting charm will it +25 ?

[hybrid ocean]

Maybe Atziri's Disdain is the way

Since Doryani's and Ventor's give HP

[thin basin]

Ah i see the buff, let you have chaos res now

But what build are you doing w it tho

[dusty bridge]

Sorry to bother, wanted to ask: is it worth investing in a Fireflower amulet atm? I know that it currently seems to have a bug where it just shows the added levels to skills, but doesn't increase any stats. I just see it on many of the fire builds I'm looking at, so figured I'd ask.

[mystic shard]

so if shocking someoen is based on max hp ailment.

vs a boss (with normal not insane dmg) ill pretty much never consistently shock a boss with spark right? even increasing the "chance" when im not sure I even understand htere

[azure wyvern]

does the second passive work when totem is the one stunning?

[tidal copper]

I'll bet no

[fringe cape]

Does anyone know if this support gem works with minions?

It lets me socket it into my minion skills but i dont know how to tell if it's actually working

[plain cloud]

Hey, in one of these POE2 passive skill tree websites - is it possible to search for multiple nodes at the same time ? As in let's say you want both nodes with energy shield and nodes with cold damage to be highlighted, is it possible to add multiple filters like that ?

[thin basin]

Someone buy n save a osin for me? 35d

I can payback just csnt be on rn before price rise even more

[lone wave]

how do we feel about painter's servant change

[tidal copper]

Does this work

[sharp kestrel]

how does temporalis interact with cdr? Is it applied before or after cdr is applied?

[tidal copper]

Before
After the patch it'll have a minimum of 100ms cooldown

[stark stream]

does storm caller arrow scale with bow damage?

[sharp kestrel]

yeah, but i was wondering if one could abuse it for a really short cd cluster grenade (not that i play enough to afford it). If it were post cdr it would be even more abusable than it already is
ty though

[tidal copper]

Yeah many grenades have 4 second cooldowns
But at the point you have a temporalis it isn't even worth while to use it for DMG
You use it for speed

[shell isle]

Is it really worth to have eye of the winter cast on crit on Ice strike Invoker? I'm really struggling with mana using it and just not sure if sustaining mana without coc isnt better...

[gaunt otter]

hi guys, do arsonists themselves do ignite? would it be okay if i use brutality on flame wall that effectively removes the ignite effect?

[lapis plume]

why would you want to put brutality on a flame wall

there's no flat phys to spells afaik

arsonists do fire damage so they can ignite

[gaunt otter]

im using fireflower that causes me to take damage when i ignite an enemy

[elder mural]

The incoming patch will nerf some broken build ?

[fiery wave]

for a stat stacking build, the second venom, you guys just like getting attributes? reducing slow/chaos res sounds good too tbh

[tidal copper]

Concoction
Temporalis a little bit
Not much else

[elder mural]

The comet shower build will be nerf from that temporalis balance ?

[tidal copper]

Temporalis now has a minimum cooldowns of 100 ms if I read right

I would doubt it affects much

[elder mural]

If you exit to character menu during the fight with Arbiter of Ash, can you use a portal to try again ? Or it will onyl work if you die.

[orchid acorn]

As an armor/evasion Merc, should I drop armor entirely and focus solely in evasion?

[orchid acorn]

It will, they are already dropping

[hidden heath]

Do items that trigger skills have the level of the skill listed in the item itself or if I have a higher skill level than the item they will trigger my skill ?

[sharp thorn]

Yeas and no. They do ignite but for the purposes of Fireflower they do not trigger self damage.

[sharp thorn]

Same true for all the minions.

[tidal copper]

help!

[gaunt otter]

so my arsonists will still be igniting if i have fireflower on is that correct?

but they will not be doing damage to themselves

[white light]

Is it possible to put minions on a warrior class?

[sharp thorn]

Minions usually don't have your effects from equipment, so yeah, they won't self-destroy.

[gaunt otter]

so flammability will still be very useful right?

[sharp thorn]

Totems are minions as far as I know. But otherwise better to wait for the druid. Looking at their part of the tree they seem to be the class with minions too.

[elder mural]

Totems are not minions

[sharp thorn]

Flammability is always good. It increases your fire damage.

[gaunt otter]

alright thanks for all the help.

[white light]

@sharp thorn alr thank you

[sharp thorn]

Ah, you're right.

[hidden heath]

sDo items that trigger skills have the level of the skill listed in the item itself or if I have a higher skill level than the item they will trigger my skill ? Do you guys know , please?

[steady birch]

3.1k es/49% eva or 4-5k es? My question is more of general mapping, since boss one hit doesn't matter unless i have 20k hp xd

[rocky pilot]

Is there a node that gives Stun threshold based on mana?

[steady birch]

use the search bar on passive

[tidal copper]

If your e shield is now mana
Does e shield threshold work

[dapper current]

What would be the go to on witch hunter

I don’t know the stats I need

[hidden heath]

If u're gonna use xbow u need dex and str

[oblique bough]

So with bow skills damage % getting applied to concoctions being a bug and it getting fixed in this patch do folks still think poison spam is still viable? If not what’s a good way to pivot

[dapper current]

I know that

[static cairn]

how do you get 6k health

[oblique bough]

Strength, max health traits, and % max health gems/passives

[shy root]

Can you just not use jewel sockets for weapon set passives? Or is there another reason I can't allocate it?

[hidden heath]

You need free passive points to allocate secondary weapon set passives

[shy root]

Yea I can allocate any other node, but not the jewel socket - edit: it actually says so in the info box, didn't read 🤦‍♂️

Damn that screws over my pathing 😬

[keen sonnet]

Hey guys!
I just want to know if the warrior will become a little less a painful to play with the next patch.
I read they are gonna change the armor, do you think that will do the trick?

[orchid acorn]

What you mean

[shy root]

Scavenged Plating and 15% buff makes armor a bit better, but it still wont really do much for anyhting that hits hard

[orchid acorn]

15% is nothing tbh

[shy root]

ye

[dapper current]

Stats and tree

[thin basin]

🙏

[keen sonnet]

I'm following this idea, do you think I should go ES instead of armour?

[frank talon]

For the invokers — how do you solve your mana problems when you start to run the staff and a bunch of equips with so many +melee to skills?

[void pewter]

Hey All, which build would you suggest going for if I want to use a Temporalis? I'm currently farming with my Monk to eventually get one, and wanted to know what build works the best with it

[muted birch]

End game item for minion build, which is better: Alpha's Howl Armoured Cap or Leer Cast?

Also what are the Pros and Cons of Infernalist vs Titan minion build?

[tender needle]

im just being boring and running it on a spark-arcmage-stormweaver.

You give up a lot of damage/tankiness but instead get infinite blinks and greatly increase ur map-clear speed. Also tried the autobomber setup (that is getting nerfed out tomorrow), but that one was crashing too often to be a good experience. You can probably come up with some cooler interactions though. Even just a crit setup with the stormweaver ascendancy crit-storms on 0cd would prob be pretty strong

[bold oxide]

yes conc is still very strong. i purposely avoided picking up a quiver with that stat and i have still been able to clear basically all of the content in the game

[oblique bough]

Do you have a specific build your using because the one I had was around that and I honestly didn’t consider the fact that it might be a bug

[bold oxide]

shouldnt need to change anything really. i used ziz's on maxroll as a starting framework and then went from there. i will say its hard to get a real grasp on just how much the poisons are doing without pob. there are so many things interacting

used this one as a reference as well

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/peuget2-budget-poisonous-concoction-pathfinder

i dont bother with maligaros gloves or even corpsewade boots tho. pathfinder prolif node + herald of plague spreads poison very quickly while mapping. just throw a few concs out and watch a breach delete itself

[oblique bough]

Which of the two passive trees do you use?

Because both builds have very different one

[bold oxide]

mine looks much closer to the mobalytics tree now

but ive made a few changes of my own. nothing major tho

pob2 should be dropping today i believe. cant wait to tinker and optimize everything

[oblique bough]

You use chaos inoc?

[bold oxide]

yeah CI is great

[oblique bough]

What makes it great, I don’t see which passive does

[bold oxide]

not strictly required tho

it makes you immune to chaos damage

[oblique bough]

But also 1hp

[bold oxide]

which makes gearing much simpler. your max life becomes 1 tho so you need to heavily invest into energy shield

as well as evasion, ideally

thankfully that is very doable

[sonic peak]

Fixed a bug where Concoction Skills were considered Bow Skills and as a result could be affected by "increased damage with Bow Skills" modifiers on Quivers.

I'm cooked

[bold oxide]

nah

youre fine

we talking about that very thing right now

i purposely avoided quiver with that stat this whole time. i still crush all content in the game ez

[sonic peak]

well, there's still the corrupted mod

25% all dmg I think

[bold oxide]

conc is strong and not just poison. shattering is very good too

[oblique bough]

Actually what we are talking about rn is how to pivot if you built around that

[sonic peak]

can also spec into crit

[bold oxide]

yes crit is good

[sonic peak]

but you absolutely need that corrupted mod right now

[bold oxide]

get a quiver with +2 proj, crit chance, crit damage, maybe some dex and attack speed but those two arent strictly necessary

what corrupted mod?

[bold oxide]

ahh yeah thats pretty good

[dusk cargo]

needle in the hay stack trying to find a quiver with all the good stats AND that Corruption

[oblique bough]

So with this build and using chaos inoc how does it hold up in breachstones and whatnot?

[sonic peak]

prob the one I'm using after the patch drops

I'm currently at +400% inc from quiver with widow/passives/gems

[oblique bough]

Is there a place to check that without having to manually add?

[sonic peak]

don't think so

but 270 + passives is 350

mine is 298

[dusk cargo]

I've been running this quiver for some time so I am good with the bow skill change, I never messed with it as I expected that one to get changed since the skill is not classified as a "Bow Skill"

[bold oxide]

thats almost exactly what mine looks like lol nice

fear not conc gamers, its still very strong

[oblique bough]

Just going to suck selling this queens to afford the build swap lol

[sonic peak]

it is, but I think it'll fall off to ~35k

[oblique bough]

I ran a super evasions build with it all and that kinda nuked it

[sonic peak]

btw, PoB2 is not out yet right?

[oblique bough]

What does the B mean

[thorny token]

delayed again till friday

[outer vault]

what's a good guide for ssf invoker monk? Starting fresh

[sonic peak]

path of building

it's a 'PoE calculator'

[oblique bough]

Oh

[sonic peak]

the in-game tooltip is kinda ass

for example, it doesn't take into account crit

[bold oxide]

especially for poison, no pob is a nightmare to accurately calculate the damage

[sonic peak]

yeah

both because of poison dmg, but also because of crit

[dusk cargo]

I had my shattered concoction tooltip up to 1.7m on tooltip unbuffed but dropped it down to give my self a bit more survivability now I sit at 951k unbuffed, which is very effective xD I have been silently enjoying my Shattered conction while everyone is doing their poison 😬

[sonic peak]

wait, 1.7m???

how

unless the difference in base dmg from lvl is that high between concs

[fiery sable]

Do you guys know how elemental discharge works with shocked ground? Does it consume shock which is instantly added back?

[sonic peak]

Shattering Conc
Lvl 35 0 100%, 223% 1809, 2713
Posionous Conc
Lvl 35 0 100%, 223% 1809, 2713

same scaling

[thorny token]

you are putting points into stuff on pconc thats not displayed on tooltip

[thorny token]

but it does way more damage in reality most of the time

[dusk cargo]

That crit damage bonus scales well. Got some Increased cold/elemental damage on some jewels aswell

[sonic peak]

I know

I think crit is not considered in the tooltip tho?

[old oriole]

i hate this bug where i can't test my dps numbers (img, keeps going back to projectile)

[thorny token]

it is

[dusk cargo]

yeah some things dont effect tooltip for each stat so its hard to know exact damage

cant wait for POB to be out

[thorny token]

but you also have way more conditional shit on pconc, like its not accounted that bosses have 0 chaos res and you take it to -45% with despair

or your wither etc

[sonic peak]

I know, I'm not saying pconc does less dmg

I'm just suprised he managed to get 1.7m in the tooltip

[dusk cargo]

whats everyone else sitting at for their crit bonus for those running crit builds?

[livid flume]

does lightning conduit double dip with stormweaver 2x shock?

[old oriole]

if i add 150int (5 to 150 lightning damage) how much dps would i have?

[livid flume]

?? nobody knows, u can have 1 damage per attack and be attacking 62000 times per second in that pic so you would then have 5million dps....

[old oriole]

okay

[finite shell]

Anyone know anyone using doryani prototype? Struggling to survive lightning hits. Even with 13k life/mana/es

[finite shell]

Yes

[sage solar]

What are all my temporalis blink homies thinking about doing after the patch? Think we will be able adjust the build to max out crit chance and still be good, or is a total pivot in the cards?

Obviously we won’t know for sure until we can actually play around with it.

[livid flume]

yeah i used it to clear everything on first build

[finite shell]

How are you surviving?

[livid flume]

deadeye with 90% eva and <5sec +4 boss times

mostly

(and the less dmg taken buff)

[finite shell]

Which buff is that?

[livid flume]

wind ward

3% les dmg taken / tailwind
