2┃build-planning

[livid flume]

enough to live through any boss mechanics ur meant to

sekhemas light storm etc are all fine

[wild whale]

yo guys is there a point in going zealots oath for demonform builds

it sucks not having big regen

[finite shell]

Hmm, I was hoping for something that would work with blood mage but ok

I might try gemling

[livid flume]

blood mage is straight trash for literally everything unfortunately

I've tried gemling as well, deadeye is far and away BIS for it

Im also running orloth's gem, and gemling ascendancy doesnt work with that

in standard int stacking howa style

[finite shell]

I invested too heavily in this build but I don't think I can do endgame without murdering myself

[livid flume]

howa/doryani/etc. is strong enough that you can do it without ascendancy

[finite shell]

T16 is fine but can't do t4 bosses

[livid flume]

i was doing shockburst for bosses

~150k tooltip dps before freshclip/doryani/etc.

~700k with those multipliers effectively

(-200 res, ingenuity and x2 ventors of course)

[wild whale]

haven't you seen that video of the guy teleporting and one shotting and just going crazy with lightning dmg 😭

[finite shell]

You have a guide?

[wild whale]

he was using bloodmage

[livid flume]

no guide just yolod it together myself

[finite shell]

Where.

Oh that's temporalis

[livid flume]

that's temporalis choir, which is getting nerfed

[wild whale]

it has to get nerfed

too op

like holy

[finite shell]

Yeh I'm not interested in a build that requires a chase unique

[rancid cipher]

What type of damage is poison damage?

[livid flume]

chaos

[finite shell]

Chaos

@livid flume what was your gear setup like?

[livid flume]

respecced the char, but pretty standard attri stuff
2x ventors
ingenuity
doryanis
howa
rare boots INT/DEX max
rare helm INT/DEX max
+proj/attri rare amulet
Against the darkness int/lightdmg on the attri wheel in the south (I had 6x notables here, got the 2x blind, 2x attri, ailment node, and coursing node via megalomaniac)

my weap was ridiculous, prob ~150-200div on current market

but for 10div you can get 70% of the dmg

just super standard attri stacking

and fresh clip abuse

[finite shell]

fresh clip?

[livid flume]

fresh clip is the most broken support in game, legit >2x your damage for shockburst

[old oriole]

why can't i buy lvl20 uncut skill gems?

pls help

[finite shell]

you didn't do MoM? What was your hp pool like?

[livid flume]

no mom, I was running orloth jewel for int -> eva

so i had >90% evasion and very little mana

HP maybe 1800? ES maybe the same

and x2 with grim feast

[finite shell]

yeesh that's nothing

[livid flume]

still clear everything with no deaths

[finite shell]

but i guess you don't get hit. what about spell effects?

[livid flume]

got to 95 before bored

I'm off screening most things

[finite shell]

aoe

[livid flume]

or just about

like just moving around a lot i guess, not sure

bosses I kill before they can act

and maps just got used to it

fully juiced breach etc. all were no problem

I've moved to qotf x2 herald now but still working on puttin git together

[ancient perch]

I can't get Snipers mark to work with CoC

ive never seen it procc

[livid flume]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcxKmJyBK1A this is kind of close to what i was running

[livid flume]

This tree is super scuffed though, but gearing is pretty much identical

I also weapon swapped to a bow for shock (I couldn't get swap between 2 xbows to work consistently, xbows are buggy AF with reloads etc).

and pathed up to pure power which is mandatory as you then get weapon set x2 points for more shock magnitude...I was shocking bosses for just under 100%

yeah this passive tree is hyper scuffed let me come up with what i had rq....

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/jhcp20nj

This was by far the best tree I could come up with for deadeye howa

I also had a megalomaniac with 'Coursing Energy' and 'General's Bindings' so that darkness on the bottom was giving me 7x 4% light and 7x 4% int

[zealous gyro]

What kinda build would come to mind to you guys when im looking for something that is really tanky, while still doing respectable damage? Ofcourse its a trade-off but i prefer not to die.

[turbid isle]

anything that is an invoker with CI and protect me from harm

subterfuge helment and beastial skin too

will get you 80+% ev, 75% phys reduction, and depending on gear about 5-8k ES

with capped res and chaos immunity

[zealous gyro]

i feel like ES is the go-to defensive layer atm right? Anything thats not ES that comes close?

[livid flume]

es and eva (mostly cause of how broken subterfuge mask is)

and the hybrid nodes for both

[turbid isle]

you dont even need a lot of the hybrid nodes either

[hidden heath]

If I corrupt a skill gem to opeh a 4th slot, will I be able to level up the skill after corrupt? I guess not

[orchid acorn]

Hi, could someone yell me if this build is viable/useful? https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/explosive-shot-witchhunter-build-guide

[subtle rock]

U can still level it up

[tidal copper]

#2┃after-acts-help message

[thorny token]

its fine but few things. 1. not using fork on explo shot is a crime, 2. this works way better on deadeye

[glad bone]

yes, and only level

[livid flume]

just like every proj based build lol (works better on deadeye)

[hidden heath]

Oh I can level them after corrupt?

[glad bone]

yea

[hidden heath]

Thanks

[grand reef]

Have almost level 90 deadeye. When I use my combo I drain all my mana within 2-3 seconds. Other than mana regen what other modifiers are there that I could add that lets my mana come back instantly? I tried physical damage leech but seems like it barely helps

[hidden heath]

Which items could you change

[thorny token]

there are sources of mana on hit as well

[grand reef]

Any, I could readjust if needed.

[hidden heath]

There is a unique that gives you 100% mana regen, you have mana remnants skill, you can get mana on hit

You can get mana on kill

You said physical to mana doesnt work, are you doing enough phys or is it elemental

You can convert part of that mana to hp

[zealous gyro]

how do bleed and poison compare? Which is generally stronger in PoE2 so far?

[grand reef]

Well I have elemental damage, but my arrow converts 100% of physical damage to lightning so idk if that still works with the modifier

Of leeches physical to mana

[hidden heath]

Check your G

See what dmg does your skills do

So you can see how much of that you are converting to mana and thats why you don't get enough mana regen

[austere inlet]

hi guys, im new to poe im downloading poe2 rn I want to play monk does anyone have a good build guide I could follow?

[indigo pilot]

what do people look for in a mana flask for a concoction (poison) pathfinder?

[thin basin]

thoughts on arc poison w osin, it should hit pretty hard w gem levels right?

[abstract mortar]

ignite magnitude makes the energy you receive from ignites higher right?

[snow storm]

whats an alternative tech for Vine Arrow after patch soon?

[gloomy jackal]

Why does Reaper's Invocation not trigger my Temp chains? it says its a spell

works on Eye of winter tho

[thorny token]

for what, warriors? bonestorm :d

[thorny token]

might as well just comet at that point right?

[thin basin]

i think arc does more single target after all the maths

and should have better clear w chain + unleash? maybe

[gloomy jackal]

Ah... figured it out. I used that temp chains before and it had weapon swap 2 turned on

[thorny token]

well you can use both

they will both be 100% chaos so will scale the same right

so can just clear with arc and single with comet

[thin basin]

ya but gem levels wand

[thorny token]

ah true i guess

[thin basin]

free +1 for comet from tree tho

this + osin on bloodmage with archmage or something idk 🧑‍🍳

[thorny token]

well osin doesnt work with archmage

[nimble fiber]

Has anyone tried to make a Monk powercharge build based on Volls Body Armour (25% powercharge on crit)? I would love to make a Falling thunder/Flicker build with it but replacing a high evasion body armor with a low armour/energy shield body armor will lead to survival issues i guess, especially since a lot of (at least invoker) Monks tankiness depends on the chest piece. And i am not trading so that makes things worse. Maybe full ES on the other pieces is enough?

[thorny token]

if you wanted archmage then you need to go plaguefinger instead

[hybrid ocean]

Yeah, you'd use plaguefinger instead

[old oriole]

hey on the shockburst rounds build what good unique jewel can i use?

[hybrid ocean]

damn

like 3 seconds too late

[thorny token]

too slow rip

[thin basin]

ah nvm then on archmage

i do have a 6k hp bloodmage i can test out w the helm and osin

[snow storm]

for cultist mace yup

[thorny token]

yea just bonestorm wep swap then for hammer

can get like 3k flat phys out of it

[snow storm]

gotcha

[orchid acorn]

Fork lowers dmg no? What would ypu replace in explosive shot for fork?. Also, I know. But I dont have a rogue and I dont have orbs to start a second character lol

[thorny token]

it lowers damage after forking but the clear boost is nuts

[snow storm]

can i know what support gems for bonestorm and hammer?

[olive copper]

fireflower fix in patch notes should make cast on minion death build perfect now ya?

[orchid acorn]

What should I replace with fork?

[abstract mortar]

ignite magnitude makes the energy you receive from ignites higher right?

[thorny token]

well hammer is just standard shit right, second wind, conc effect

and for bonestorm just levels so the debuff is stronger

[thorny token]

uh let me check

[snow storm]

[old oriole]

how was it changed?

[crisp timber]

whats the best bossing build right now that doesnt cost 100+div

[thorny token]

either fire pen or lightning exposure

[thin basin]

can get lvl 33 arc pretty easily

[orchid acorn]

Ok... Although I am honestly having good ckear, but bad boss dmg

[thorny token]

bad boss dmg with shockburst?

[old oriole]

hey on the shockburst rounds build what good unique jewel can i use?

[olive copper]

Fixed a bug where the unique item "Fireflower" could fail to cause Fire Damage to the player when an enemy was ignited. im pretty sure that was the exact issue but not 100%

i guess as long as it wasnt a bug related to necromantic talisman

[orchid acorn]

Yeah, it deals no dmg at all... Unless I shock, but happens like 1 every 30 seconds or so

[thorny token]

well you need to shock with explo right

areyou grabbing inc shock chance on the wep swap tree for explo shot?

and if you arent wep swapping just grab it on your normal tree

or just use stormcaller in wep swap to guarantee shock

[orchid acorn]

Not at tye moment... I am lacking gold to respec entirely... This is way better than my old HVR build tho, so I am trying to farm a bit

[orchid acorn]

What is stormcaller?

[thorny token]

stormcaller arrow

like 450% DE bow skill that has 800% more shock chance, so very ez to shock with

[orchid acorn]

Do I need a bow for that?

[thorny token]

yes in wep swap

[orchid acorn]

I wojld have to replace my grenade crossbow then

Guess its worth it

I'll try that, thanks

[hybrid ocean]

Anyone made a proper Rampart Raptor + HoWA build?

I've been trying to mess with things like auto reload to get the raptor to fire perpetually, but no luck so far

The dream would be for there to be some way to empty/even slightly drain a clip without having to fire from that clip, so you could just continually reload another ammunition skill with a much faster load time every 4 seconds, before swapping back to your main damage skill, presumably explosive shot or siege cascade

[thin basin]

quickmaths unless i did something wrong comet still more dmg with the +1 🙂

they need to release pob

2

[orchid acorn]

Tomorrow

[fiery wave]

as soon as u have cast speed arc will be better bc of the 1 second delay on comet

how do ppl get survivability on stat stacking? just eva or es/armor

[old oriole]

hey on the shockburst rounds build what good unique jewel can i use?

[viscid sierra]

anyone who good at deadeye - maybe can help me with this? #1329499668790644887

[orchid acorn]

Evasion/Energy Shield and HP unless CI

[blazing ruin]

https://youtu.be/1sK_HkTa-gA?si=5y6UL5wkyqpvkHih

Final Spark build

[glad bone]

nerf tomorrow

[dawn spire]

Oh no, you can only blink 10 times a second :/

[thorny token]

the nerf literally doesnt matter

for the build lul

also its not even nerf just bugfix pretty much so it stops crashing instances

[old oriole]

only 10!!!!!!!!
this is it, GGG has done it now, this game is just a bunch of nerfs, im leaving.

[thorny token]

i hope they will do actual balance pass on temporalis when we get new league

[dawn spire]

But if they nerf it less, that's nerfing a nerf, which is even more nerfing. I'm also out

[thorny token]

as that item needs it

[old oriole]

what's bad about it rn? other stats?

[thorny token]

its just broken so needs proper nerf

[hasty nebula]

Is there a best ES stacking build? Or some build that just stacks ES over everything else?

[visual raven]

Does elemental focus work in Cast on Shock?

it lets me slot it but says it isnt supported

i see it in builds though

considered casting use to be in builds for it too but i see that was nerfed, also lets me slot it though i understand it doesnt work I am asuming Elemental Focus doesnt work either now?

[dawn spire]

Most late endgame builds I see are stacking ES. You can basically force it on any build

[dawn spire]

It doesn't support cast on shock, but it can support spells triggered by cast on shock

So any support that you could put on a spell inside the gem can be used

[visual raven]

so if i slot it it helps the conduit>

cool

[dawn spire]

Yes

[visual raven]

patch notes said

but it still will work on the lightning conduit?

[thorny token]

yea its bugged still

[visual raven]

got it so not supposed to work but it works

[fiery wave]

alright i just hit maps with 3200 hp no good res 60% eva and i was wondering what to look at bc i got one shot right away. hoped i can skip es on this guy but oh well.

[dawn spire]

[daring bobcat]

Cap out your res

[rancid seal]

what is "uncapped x res"? for eg: fire res 84% (126%) - max fire res increased to 84 but fire res from gear is 126%. is the "uncapped" res 84% or 126%?

[fiery wave]

im not in campaign?

[fiery wave]

god empyrian put temporalis and ci on his caged god gemling, i refuse lol

[thorny token]

yes uncapped is the one inside ()

[fiery wave]

3 suffering monka

[quick jackal]

is there a site with full PoE2 passive skill tree?

[daring bobcat]

maxroll

[rancid seal]

is 100% melee evasion achievable with this?

[thorny token]

no

[hasty nebula]

do you have a link to one? i just want to see the synergestic ES skills, passives, gear

[rancid seal]

why is lightning the only one to get a multiplicative bonus in the passive tree? I guess cold has cc bonus instead, but fire and chaos get shafted. lightning even has an additional multiplier from shock

[midnight geode]

can i do this ingame or is it a bug in maxroll?

[old oriole]

how can i filter tiem lost diamonds, i cound't type in the modifiers

[sonic peak]

think they were a bit afraid to put more in EA

[fiery wave]

god i just made 35% ms eva boots and if i have to es tech i need new shoes

[sonic peak]

passive will prob get reworked before release

and it'll prob get more

(regarding 'More' mods on pasive)

[daring bobcat]

wdym ?

[midnight geode]

im picking the first small node with metamorphosis gem even tho the node next to it is a weapon set one, but then i can connect other weapon set nodes, even tho i cant connect regular ones to it?

i cant pick the node the arrow is pointing unless its a weapon set node

on the site

[daring bobcat]

If you want to pick a node outside of weapon set nodes you need to path to it with regular points too. You can't path with weapon set nodes like you did and try to take it outside the weapon set nodes

[midnight geode]

so its a bug?

on maxroll

english isnt my native language sry cant explain it, basically can i pick these 2 green nodes left and right?

[scenic oak]

how many prefix and suffixes an item can get?

[dawn spire]

Cold has a node that adds 25% of damage as fire vs frozen targets and fire has, well, ignite I guess.

[dawn spire]

Is that a jewel that lets you assign points within that ring?

Also, if you speak Spanish, I can help in Spanish

[midnight geode]

yeah the metamorphosis jewel

and no im not spanish

[dawn spire]

You cannot assign those nodes to the left and right because they are not in the ring. You cannot create new tree paths that go outside the ring

You can still path to the nodes normally and take them if you want

[midnight geode]

ok thats what i wanted to know

thanks

[jovial blade]

is killing palm a hit?

[dawn spire]

It should say on the skill

3k life is loads in poe2

And yeah, basically just from str and gear

[naive ferry]

I see peopl at 8k energy shield no problem

[dawn spire]

Yeah, that's not life

ES is pretty fuckin busted rn

For life, 3K is pretty solid

Even in poe1, life builds could get 6-7k if they were nutty while es builds could get like 20k

[static plinth]

Idek how you get 3k unless you have tons of life

Granted im using two uniques so maybe thats contributing

[merry bone]

Str - and max rolled life on items

[naive ferry]

I only have 74 str

[fiery wave]

unless youre titan or gemling you likely wont get more than 3k life

you need to use one of the other defenses which rn probably means ES

[fiery wave]

theres a 8% node at the top

i probably should get that vorana jewel for the op strength based es buff on gemling but i really wnated to not use es

but with 500 strength already its probably gonna be around 800 at least

[naive ferry]

im playing stormweaver

[fiery wave]

you think you can get more?

[naive ferry]

yea for sure

[fiery wave]

alright so why you ask 😄

[naive ferry]

im figuring shit out by myself

[fiery wave]

im under the impression to go to 4k and beyond you need to bend your tree backwards in unhelpful ways

but if you can do it thats fun ofc

[naive ferry]

I found only one +maxlife node %

other is flat 20 which is not worth pathing to

[fiery wave]

they didnt put +% life nodes

they also talked about it at some point but i havent heard the exact reasoning

the inferanalist tree has 3 4% nodes

the titan has double small passives

and the gemling has double attribute boni

im at 3200 at level 60 with no +life gear atm

and 500 str

there might be two nodes actually

@naive ferry these are the two nodes

[autumn summit]

does the effect of the blackflame amathyst ring also work on ignites my minions do?

[snow storm]

whats the best gemling build do you guys think will be after patch?

[somber pendant]

What's the wording in particular I can't recall but I don't think it does

[compact wren]

Does polcirkeln ring good in combination with herald of ice / thunder and LA?

[autumn summit]

enemys ignited by you....

[somber pendant]

Yeah your minions don't count as you

[autumn summit]

ah ok ty

[naive ferry]

Are there any uniques that give a lot of hp?

[mystic shard]

Doing some armour testing.

Mighty Silverfist, on normal.

His mega strike does 1300 OR 1500 dmg, either of those EXACTLY with a precise hit with the big slam.

With 1000 armour, it does 1100-1300

So -200 dmg wiach each attack (exactly 995 armour)

|
So have** 66%** of the armour of a hit.

Seems to reduce it by 13.5%

so perhaps the armour chart is wrong.

[crude anvil]

Is a Fire Monk possible?

[undone peak]

i guess this is even more life though:

[static plinth]

Kaom's Heart if you can stomach not having spirit

[undone peak]

pretty sure morior invictus is just a strictly better item than kaom's heart

[midnight bolt]

Does anyone know why we have lvl 19 max on skills from items and no 6 links?

[naive ferry]

this applies to chest sockets only or other items also count for the 5%?

[lime tinsel]

"Skills socketed in a Meta Gem's sockets can no longer gain energy." guess this menas that if you have a freezing skill in a cast on freeze, freezes from that isnt going to gain meta energy?

[midnight bolt]

Yep

[daring bobcat]

5 links in poe2 is the equivalent to 6 links in poe1, max lvl of skill gems is 20/21 with corruption and a lot more with passives/equipment/jewels

[viscid sail]

for those playing infernalist.. what paths yall went on the passive skill tree?

im so lost on wtf to go for.. what is bait skills, what are good skills to put points in.. etc

[midnight bolt]

I think you didnt read what i wrote

[dawn spire]

I don't think that's what it means. The meta gem is the thing that gains energy, not the socketed spells. Someone correct me if I'm wrong or screenshot a meta gem because I'm almost certain the meta gem is the thing gaining energy. Were people putting meta gems in meta gems or something?

[daring bobcat]

yw

[midnight bolt]

Lmfao

[dawn spire]

They were asking about innate item skills

[thin basin]

watching jung to get some ideas

[wooden iris]

Sup guys - question regarding gemling passive for using two of the same sockets - would they stack?

In particular, would an innervate from a tempest flurry kill stack with an innervate from a herald kill - or would it just reset the timer on the buff?

[proper pilot]

"Skills socketed in a Meta Gem's sockets can no longer gain energy"

Does it means that Ball Lightning into Cast On Shock is nerfed/dead? Or the Meta Skill is the one who gets energy?

[rotund ruin]

heh, you said ball

[lilac shale]

does anyone know if chronomancer time stop counts as an immobilize? would leverage work with it?

[fallow torrent]

teporallis useers in shambles. everyone pannick sold last night

[proud talon]

for demon form build we need a staff or no weapon are effective in demon form?

[visual raven]

im asuming it means yes but who knows im told the last patch that took away a bunch of gems from working off lightning conduit in cast on still work

[forest laurel]

I need more boss dmg on my hexblast blood mage but idk what spells do a lot of single target dmg

[proper pilot]

I'm kinda going into it... I've seen that Cast on Shock is the one who gets energy, not Ball Lightning. So I'm assuming it's not a nerf to Ball Lightning into Cast on Shock

[elfin hemlock]

I tried earlier today to get Ball lightning to work with invoker, but I couldn't get it to activate at all. Not sure why. I had it on cast on shock

[visual raven]

it should mean ball of lightning triggered off of cast of shock shouldnt earn energy for shocking if its a triggered one but who knows

[proper pilot]

Yeah, I think we'll need to wait xd

[dawn spire]

Buffs of the same name/type don't stack, even with gemling shenanigans

[real hornet]

was this in poe2 yet? since that was the thing you used with blackfire

[visual raven]

has someone proven out that gems that arent compatible sockets for cast on shock but can be socketed work?

[cedar karma]

so now that bow damage is fixed on quivers for concoctions, what prefixes are worth going for? does it even matter anymore? flat phys, proj speed, and a flat elemental?

[real hornet]

not compatible tends to mean it wasn't coded in the first place to work bro

[dawn spire]

Yes. If they can't support cast on shock, but they can support spells triggered by cast on shock, they'll work. Only things that directly support cast on shock will show as "supportable" (like supports that affect energy gain)

[real hornet]

I wouldn't expect devs to accidently allow something to work considering poe's solid tagging system

[rough notch]

guys.. is this armor good for spark build ? i need max mana no es

but with diff stats

[dawn spire]

Good compared to what? In general that chest is considered insanely strong on a lot of builds if you can get the right mods. But it would only be like 20% mana for four socketables. That's like a few small passive nodes and I wonder if flat mana on another chest piece would be more mana overall

[rough notch]

il find new chest

1 sec

[tribal arch]

Doesn't ES also get converted to mana ?

[dawn spire]

Idk if they have eldritch battery

[tribal arch]

Though I guess 189 isn't a huge amount.

[rough notch]

@dawn spire is this better ?

80% increased es

can converte to mana right ?

[dawn spire]

Idk what your build needs. But I'd say that one is way better if you don't need life or thorns damage

Well, wait

[rough notch]

yeah

i just need max mana

[dawn spire]

I guess it depends on what runes/cores you want

Because that 80% es is coming from four runes socketed in it

[rough notch]

yeah

[dawn spire]

Although you can swap those in like 5 minutes so

[rough notch]

what if i buy one without runes in it ?

[dawn spire]

It really just depends on if you value 36% rarity more than 20% life

[rough notch]

i got soul cores and runes

[dawn spire]

Runes/cores can be swapped out next patch so it doesn't matter

[rough notch]

ohh

nice

[dry pagoda]

also for corrupted items?

[vocal yew]

When is the POB update coming out?

[merry bone]

delayed - hes busy today - posted on twitter

[dawn spire]

You can add runes to corrupted socketed items and they said the way you do it is by adding a new socketable and it overwrites it, so I'm betting yes

[rough notch]

this ones good too right ?

no runes or soul core in

[fiery wave]

on a caged god build how do you get your damage on herald of thunder/heald of ice high enough that it actually freezes? i have problems understanding what it scales the damage off even looking at guides

[rough notch]

@dawn spire should i buy this one ?

[fiery wave]

like fubguns https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/fubgun-attribute-stacker

[wooden iris]

gotcha! i'll assume then that martial tempo on charged staff won't stack with tempest flurry either 🥲

thanks!

[dawn spire]

I have no clue how much you value the chest, the state of the economy, nor how much you value your currency. I cannot help you with that type of question

[dawn spire]

Martial tempo isn't a buff

[rough notch]

ok :D thanks tho

[dawn spire]

It might stack. Tho idk how the hell charged staff works with martial tempo anyway

[fiery wave]

if this is for a caged god build you probably dont want to buy it

but i missed what your goal is

[dawn spire]

Charged staff is just a buff you apply to yourself, idk what having more attack speed on it would do

Can martial tempo even support charged staff?

[ocean barn]

https://youtube.com/shorts/M6GK69QGFuo?si=c8u54d_KQwxRnGoQ my build so far, not dying really, but I feel like the damage could be better. Any ideas? Feedback in general?

[fiery wave]

nice try bro 😄

[wooden iris]

that's true, i doubt it would carry over since it has no inherrent attack speed - i'm just wondering if it 'being active' would make the gems on it apply to tempest flurry

ill have to read the tooltip more carefully when servers are back online

[fiery wave]

in poe to their credit things mostly do what they say

that would be some weird shadow interaction

possible but unlikely

this is a weird game

first character i basically did everything by myself step by step

for this one i looked a couple things up

[rough notch]

bruh servers are down

[wooden iris]

patch day

[fiery wave]

landed in maps i can do t10-11 pretty well

[rough notch]

:(

[fiery wave]

but like, all the guides are "buy these 300d of items" and what if you follow the guide you get the divs, get the build and you just kille verything on stream

[wooden iris]

we'll be back inlike 15, don't go too far now 😉

[crude anvil]

Patch should be available in the next 15 mins.

[rough notch]

ok :D

[fiery wave]

also how can any sane person get 300d

in a reasonable amount of time

[limber flume]

Anyone know of a good way a support character can apply lightning exposure?

[fiery wave]

put lightning exposure support gem on orb

or something else

[wooden iris]

most broken builds have broken pricing, i rerolled from warr to gemling and had to spend a week in sekhmas farming the divs

[fiery wave]

im palying gemling rn

i was just looking at different builds to get some ideas

but its all kinda boring

[zealous gyro]

if i go poison ranger and my coop partner goes chaos damage over time, does the highest overtake the other or do theyh both work on the same target?

[fiery wave]

i havent even bought furtive wraps yet

[wooden iris]

highly reccomend this guy https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/tempest-flurry-gemling-legionnaire-build-guide#faq-header

[thorny token]

they both work just fine

[zealous gyro]

thats good to know thanks

[fiery wave]

alrigh theteres one idea to freeze

@wooden iris do you understand what scales herald of ices damage so you get to freeze in fubguns buildguide? https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/fubgun-attribute-stacker

i cant figure it out

your guide uses dragon helmet

[wooden iris]

isn't fub using ice strike directly?

[fiery wave]

no

hes using flurry

the guide says "the support gem setup on herald of lightning is enough to freeze shit by itself"

but rn my heald of lightning does like 4k damage

[wooden iris]

oh sorry, you meant the endgame tab right?

[fiery wave]

yeah

[wooden iris]

one sec

[fiery wave]

if you can figure it out, id appreciate the clarification

[wooden iris]

it looks like he's juicing herald of thunder with max ice dmg and pen

[fiery wave]

i palyed through campaign with hearld of lightnig+fire and that right click lightning spell

[wooden iris]

since it's an 'attack' the gems apply

[fiery wave]

yes

but where does the herald get its damage from

does it just scale off howa?!

no i tshouldnt

[wooden iris]

looks like it, howa shocks them, triggering heral when they die - herald freezes all

anytime a shocked enemy dies, basically - herald of thunder does massive ice

[fiery wave]

maybe more shock is enough and you dont have to scale hearld

i use that right click aoe lightning spell i forgot the name

and my herald freezes shit 😄

well i cant see where the massive part comes from

and i dont really have 300d lying around to recreate the whole setup LOL

[wooden iris]

i think its all the cold / ice modifiers on herald of thunder is what scales it - and the wild lightning damage everywhere else triggers it

[fiery wave]

okay nvm

herald has the attack tag

i just looked at poe2db

so it scales off of howa

[wooden iris]

yeah it does

[fiery wave]

ok that explains it

thanks for discussing it

[ashen plume]

how useful is decimating/cull strike combo?

[fiery wave]

well i guess im gonna cave and buy howa but then you basically also need an ele res moria or what its called lol

on witchhunter?

i havent looked into it but i suspect it should work wellenough

[wooden iris]

i think howa is critical on all builds, it won't be wasted

[fiery wave]

yeah i just rather take the path less traveled :p

its one of the good items that not 30-50d too

[wooden iris]

yep! morior with attributes and global devensives is really cheap as well - but youll need grand spectrum sapphires to make it work

[fiery wave]

yeah attirbutes + all res is 50d tho

which would be better

i might try attributes + max life

just for fun

see how fat i can get

[wooden iris]

the global defensives helps a lot with evasion, but if you have energy shield off of max life then that might be better for you

[thin basin]

so many citadels

so little time

[fiery wave]

yeah i took the energy shield helmets idea from fubgun

okay i have 400h on that first char and found 0

ive been waiting on this patch

time to do some citadel action

[thin basin]

theres like supposedly 10-15 citadel in the fog

[fiery wave]

will be fun

😡

[static plinth]

How cooked is Three Dragons + Call of The Brotherhood + Firestorm & Lightning Conduit

[fiery wave]

alright i got around 7 citadels fairly close and 2 further away

[distant tendon]

so is warrior better now?

[true sparrow]

Can you change ascendancy types after your trial now?

[timber pecan]

asking the real questions

[distant tendon]

I have a level 88 warrior sooo

88 warrior and 88 witch

[static plinth]

No

[regal turtle]

still no reap in game yet correct?

[static plinth]

Nope

😔

[regal turtle]

sadge

[slim spoke]

does anyone know if mana flar works with blood mage, so it'd consume 20% hp instead of mana? but it'd still be based off mana right?

[livid flume]

can a spell that was triggered trigger another spell?

for example u cast a lightning spell with cast on dodge, which then ignites something and cast on ignite shocks something etc

[daring bobcat]

Yes

[fiery wave]

boo breach splinter payout nerf

[hasty nebula]

is mobalytics the most popular site for community builds or something?

[fiery wave]

warrior is 15% better now :]

thats all you need

[jovial ember]

has anyone tried contagion gemling?

[strong frost]

Is Flicker monk still viable? Or is there a better build to go

[jovial ember]

I really need something to try in SSF thats not spark or howa

[timber pecan]

whats warriros "best" build rn?

[fiery wave]

i really hope were getting a map folder overlay on the map with all our maps and oils and vaal orbs

[shrewd jungle]

daym guys, BM just got new very viable build

best patch ever

my choir is hitting for more than my comets

XD

[brisk kayak]

It used to tell us the tier on item rolls

• does not do that anymore since patch?*🤔

[median spoke]

What's your Choir setup?

[shrewd jungle]

cheap setup

no crit gloves and no temporalis

gear under 1 div overall

[daring bobcat]

it doesn,t show tiers when you press Alt ?

[shrewd jungle]

and because crits are now larger i get 3x more energy for cast on crit

[brisk kayak]

Restart solved

[sour basin]

whats the attack speed cap for melee skills is it 2s?

[daring bobcat]

is there a cap ?

[sour basin]

i thought for warriors skills at least you cant go lower than a set value not sure if its 2s or 1.2s

[static plinth]

There is no cap

Some skills add a flat attack time which instates a minimum but there isnt one by default

[sour basin]

im like 80% sure theres a minimum cap you cant go below at least for warrior skills

[viral stirrup]

blink autobomber still work?

[static plinth]

There are SOME skills with a minimum

And of course you have diminishing returns

[sour basin]

sunder? if you know

its between 2 seconds or 1.2 seconds that i have stuck in my head

[static plinth]

"+1.4 Seconds total attack time"
This is the minimum, its applied after attack speed calc

[sour basin]

ahh 1.4 thanks

[vital crow]

But not as strong as before anymore sadly

Can’t trigger of it’s own crit

[shrewd jungle]

i didnt play temporalis anyway so for me its stornger

echos can still trigger it

its made so that first hit cant triger itself, which was only psosible with temporalis anyway

or i missed something ?

[vital crow]

Need to find a variation without temporalis

[shrewd jungle]

i mean, they explicitly wrote first hit

[vital crow]

Don’t know because else it could still trigger infinitely no?

That’s what they wanted to get rid of idk

I‘m not at Home right now to test

[shrewd jungle]

itw as about infinite casts within 0 seconds

it doesnt really matter if it can triger itself if it has minimum cooldown .1 seconds now

no more than 10 times a second with tempo

without tempo its more like .3s

[vital crow]

Got a clip of what u‘re playing? @shrewd jungle

[shrewd jungle]

you mean like video on YT ?

i could record some boss kills maybe

and send there

[vital crow]

Yeah record some please would be nice to see

[haughty gazelle]

Does someone know how ele equilibrium is supposed to work if you attack with all 3 elements?

[thin basin]

@thorny token divining doesnt update it wasted all that monie

[shrewd jungle]

https://youtu.be/ThVfaZJeJ-A

[junior swan]

any1 doing 4rd ascendacy i can tag along?

[thorny token]

yea rip, can still reforge tho but needs 3

[shrewd jungle]

i could do more dmg but i like blink, i have 180 spirit (80 spirit chestpiece) so can run 2x cast on crit and forgot to switch cascade for concentrated effect so choir was doing 50% of its supposed dmg

[thin basin]

its still like 60d ish tho ig i overpaid a bit

[vital crow]

I see

Well atleast the autobomber spark version is kinda dead I guess

[shrewd jungle]

if i had maligaro gloves thats x2 damage, and then if i had temporalis then my dps wolud be in milions per second even with +3 level wand without anything fancy

[thin basin]

i guess

[half pumice]

Can anyone recommend me a infernalist skeletal build for lvling and endgame please

[median spoke]

You know if Maligaro's allows +Critical Dmg bonus to stack on top or is crit dmg bonus just always 300%?

[shrewd jungle]

my understanding is maligaro makes my base bonus 300 instead of 100

same as BM passive for crit

[brazen verge]

How much difference does 1% point make in max res? 75% vs 76% seems negligible.. Is it?

[thorny token]

it locks it at 300%

[shrewd jungle]

75 to 76 is 4%

[shrewd jungle]

ohno

then it sux

i already have 200 without them

[thorny token]

yea it kinda does

[shrewd jungle]

so if i equip them il lhave only 300 ?

[thorny token]

yes

[shrewd jungle]

not 600 ?

XDDDD

[thorny token]

nop

[shrewd jungle]

ty, you saved me 2 divs

and frustration

[thorny token]

its mostly item copied from poe1

but in poe1 it was actually useful sometimes

in poe2 i cant think of a signle use lol

[lean patio]

what is a good morior invictus for spark mages?

like what should the other stat line be besides mana?

[shrewd jungle]

so the only way to upgrade this build is level up (im 85) and temporalis, and better wand

so i guess about 1.5m dps would be the limit

[brazen verge]

is there some rersource you could share that would help me understand this?

[warm peak]

Was the meta supporting skill energy nerf any kind of a big blow to sorc lightning conduit or no?

[shrewd jungle]

divide new number of % of damage taken by old number of damage taken

[thorny token]

just imagine you were taking 250 damage before, with 76% res you are taking 240 damage

thats 4% difference

[fiery wave]

somestimes im too stupid to play this game. bought heroic jewel for 32d and ofc i misread the text.

[shrewd jungle]

75% is 25 % damage taken, 76% is 24% damage taken, 24/25 = 0.96 so its -4% damage taken

[brazen verge]

uhm thanks ❤️

[median spoke]

My cast on shock/ ball lightning with conduit still feels good to me

[fiery wave]

basically old damage - new damage, how much of old damage does the difference account for

4% in that example

[brazen verge]

yeye i get it

[fiery wave]

last time i lost 5d because i bought the wrong temporalis

[thorny token]

pretty sure that change was just for marks and invocations that looped themselves

and it do not affects any normal use

[warm peak]

okay awesome

[quaint helm]

Hey is there any bro, who can help me to find out the right way to get more DPS. I am atm 92 lvl Flickerstrike invoker monk. PM me if you have sometime. I am willing to become ur padawan. 😄

[shrewd jungle]

okay, i added gear showcase, main trick is to use tempest with life cost so it has no cost... but i often forget to use it tbh

https://youtu.be/Q3x11PrrlxE?si=nXszTLt9VI9Kg1UM

[merry bone]

Did you check MilkyBlk maxroll flicker guide?

[azure wyvern]

does the extra maximum ES get increased through tree passives?

[wispy musk]

how do you match the clear screen build that monks/gemlings have, on a ranger? Just got to endgame and did a T2 map and almost got wiped by the breach. (stole some stuff off my lvl 93 monk)

[thorny token]

yes

[brazen verge]

for top tier mapping and bossing - first cap chaos res or hunt more max elemental res? im at 61 chaos

[thorny token]

always cap ele resists first

[brazen verge]

ele is capped

[thorny token]

oh max res nah thats fine

but they made the annoying chaos shit less annoying now so you should be fine at 60-ish chaos too now

[elder mural]

Is it safer to dodge roll or blink ?

[brazen verge]

thx

[elder mural]

Against Xesht

[azure wyvern]

does this bring resists to 0% even when below 0%?

[brazen verge]

what does the character tab say? im curious

oh you dont have it

[thin basin]

()

[woven schooner]

Is there a zone or boss that drops optimal gear for a Bloodmage build? (Totally new at this, btw.)

[thin basin]

doesnt have a number

[shrewd jungle]

wdym optimal gear

bloodmage is just worse sorc

[woven schooner]

cool, I'm playing a worse sorc.
I'm still wondering if there's an approach to seacrhing for best gear for that build

[shrewd jungle]

from what i know there are just 2 builds for BM right now

Detonate Dead while sacrificing minions

and now after patch Choir is viable

[woven schooner]

Detonate Dead is definitely working well for me.

[shrewd jungle]

DD is the strongest endgame build for bm right now, please correct me anyone if im wrong

but i just hate minions so i cant use it

[woven schooner]

Interesting. Ok, thanks

[finite shell]

@azure wyvern does that allow you to still go - resistance?

[shrewd jungle]

okay, easy trialmaster after patch

actually a dps check for once

[tidal copper]

yes

[finite shell]

i wonder if you can corrupt that mod off?

[orchid acorn]

This is unreal, I am missing 1 point of Spirit

[static plinth]

Yes

[finite shell]

sucks for doryani

[static plinth]

Thats not a thing besides Glimpe of Chaos

[tidal copper]

you can roll up 1.2 or down 0.8
so down zero or up to zero
nothing besides would help

[azure wyvern]

have anyone tested if totems can have rage?

[static plinth]

Veil is pretty bad rn but eventually itll be good

[elder mural]

Xesht boss got 6 portal or only 1 attempt if u die/leave ?

[static plinth]

Once we get more access to armour applying to ele and such

[shrewd jungle]

does trialmaster drop anything expensive ?

[static plinth]

Mahuxotl's Machination and soul cores

And the Adorned

[shrewd jungle]

damn i got some useless mask

[static plinth]

Theoretically Glimpse is worth money but its the king of all gambling

[alpine summit]

what lvl are yall using herald of thunder?

[marble geyser]

Crit damage soul cores into weapons > Iron (for any crit build above 37-40% cc)

[shrewd jungle]

what

why

i would say it depens how much increase you have on affix

[grizzled pebble]

how do you get soul cores? i need 1 more that gives +elemental damage

[marble geyser]

No one bothered testing before because picking wrong would brick the weapon. It was a >10% dps increase for my ~700dps quarterstaff w/ ice strike

[shrewd jungle]

ye, but the problem with added physical is that it is additive with weapon affix

but if you get big added physical and small % affix

then rune is way stronger

[marble geyser]

all that's considered into dps...

[shrewd jungle]

but it very much depens on weapon

[marble geyser]

yeah ofc, but like half the players are running invoker so it applies to a lot of peeps 😉

[static plinth]

Run Trial of Chaos or buy on trade

[shrewd jungle]

for example, physical runes into something like that are meh

becuase there is already 200% modifier

[grizzled pebble]

thank you 🙏

[shrewd jungle]

currency exchange you mean

most of cores are selling for 4-5 exa

[marble geyser]

yup, my QS has like 225% increase so the soul cores helped a ton. I just couldn't test it before

[grizzled pebble]

oh theyre in the currency exhcange? i must have missed them in there when i looked

[shrewd jungle]

still, 10% isnt really noticeable..

[marble geyser]

I mean the entire screen explodes with a single click already, so I would agree.

[shrewd jungle]

i would socket that crap into my wand if i could

but all i can do now is run mana drain with unleash

xddd

[unique hawk]

I am new to POE2, which is better ?

[shrewd jungle]

the only usefull wand skil

but both in

press G

check dps, its written there, pick whatever gives you more dps

[minor tree]

Melee skill level isn't taken into consideration for that

[shrewd jungle]

but i would asusme first one is better, i dont know how +1 to all MELEE skils works

[minor tree]

2nd at a glance I think

[shrewd jungle]

for mages levels on skils are worth alot, but when i played mace levels did +5% dmg per level

so..

[elder mural]

Can you pause during Xesht fight

[shrewd jungle]

you should be able to pause whatever, but im not sure about exiting to character selection

might be autofail

[elder mural]

Cuz there was 6 portal so i trhought u could exit and go back

Ther eis no info about that

[grizzled pebble]

now that i think about it, for ice strike monk, is it better to add flat damage runes to my weapon or should i add the +30% elemental damage soul cores?

[shrewd jungle]

physical gets converted anyway

[timber pecan]

what leveling build for warrior should I run if i want to use stampede/hotg in the future?

[shrewd jungle]

you can always just respec, its cheap nowadays

[grizzled pebble]

i was debating between using the +lightning / +cold damage or +30% elemental damage 🤔

[timber pecan]

oh alrighty then

[fiery jasper]

hi guys can someone help me please on my build? https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1329590255321354341 im stuck at a boss and its driving me insane

[restive furnace]

How significant is +15% "Increased Global Physical Damage" Jewel for a build like Grenades?

[orchid acorn]

Is there a quick way to get 1 point of SPIRIT?

[static plinth]

Depends on how much % inc you already have and how much of your damage is phys

[static plinth]

Depending on your reservations, you can quality some skills to make them reserve less spirit

[rain plover]

what do you mean?

[finite shell]

@orchid acorn on blasphemy for example

[static plinth]

Otherwise, gear, slot a grand spectrum in your tree

[strong frost]

What's the best monk build I can do for a 5 div budget? I was looking at Flicker or ice strike

[thin shadow]

So I'm trying to get what is honestly a meme build going with instant eternal warcries with corrupting cry. Other than stacking even more strength what would be some other ways to scale the damage, do other supports in the warcry also effect the corrupted cry modifier?

[finite shell]

I thought pob2 was going to be released today

[static plinth]

It got delayed

[finite shell]

again?

[icy quarry]

guys which one is better?

[restive furnace]

Hm, well I'm just level 40. I'm not sure what sources of Physical Damage there are; does the Physical Damage % on my weapon count? If so I have 68% on my weapon atm. I got a ring that addes some Fire Damage % but it wasn't all that impactful.

Explosive Grenades grant 80% of Physical damage as Fire Damage if that helps.

[orchid acorn]

I have 149/150 spirit points. I need 1 more to get the last buff I want

[orchid acorn]

I have 3 heralds, wind dancer and overwhelming prescence

[orchid acorn]

Without knowing your build. I'd say first... More base damage, more speed

[icy quarry]

ice strike invoker

32 dex is nice tho ngl

[orchid acorn]

First then imo, perhaps someone with more monk experience could double check

[icy quarry]

ig im gonna fully qual the item first

[orchid acorn]

Wait for confirmation first

So as to not waste them

[wispy musk]

The second one has a useless stat and is corrupted go for the left one

Base phy damage is always better than ele damage you aint using

[icy quarry]

alr thx for the advice

[wispy musk]

no worries, I wonder If I have a better staff in my sale bin that you could have

[hidden heath]

Gain x% extra damage is damage extra on top of my dmg right?

[orchid acorn]

Check if you got a +50 spirit amulet while you are there pls 🙂

Does Sorcery Ward uses Spirit?

[wispy musk]

lol haha nah if I did my ranger needs it more lul

[orchid acorn]

True, I have a +49 one and is driving me nuts...

[wispy musk]

I managed to get cast on shock to work yesterday with a pretty good amulet and chest piece

[orchid acorn]

What build you running?

[wispy musk]

the lightning arrow generic build

Nah I've got nothing better

This is my current staff on my monk

[restive furnace]

I'm just going to buy a random jewel to test, what's generally a fair price for jewels?

[wispy musk]

depends on the stats

[orchid acorn]

Depends on stats

What lvl are you?

[wispy musk]

getting that against the darkness would be really good

but hey you know only a few div lol

[orchid acorn]

0 in my end

[wispy musk]

I have the relic but I was told he is ass to go up against with it on

[restive furnace]

40, just trying to understand stats etc, and can't find any good resources. So just wanting to buy some "X% Global Physical Damage" and "Damage Penetrates X% Fire Res" Jewel(s) to understand how it effects damage for Explosive Grenades.

Most are 1x Exalted Orb and no idea if that's good not.

[midnight geode]

is this the same as +30% shock magnitude?

[wispy musk]

some of those 1ex trades aren't even trades they are just posted to make it look better than it is

like you'll message them and they'll never respond

[hidden sun]

this is bug?

[restive furnace]

Ah that makes sense. Wondered about a few those. Guess I'll mark them as ignore for now on.

[hidden heath]

If I have +% extra dmg , does that mean on top of the dmg I do I have that % of extra?

[wispy musk]

well some 1 ex can sell it all depends on your lvl, like most lvl80 gear that sells for 1ex is ignored listings

your lvl40 gear might be grabbed for 1ex if the seller is low level as well

when I was building my ranger the other day I got a few pieces of gear for 1 ex

[restive furnace]

Ah okay, that makes sense. What's a "high level" jewel look like then? Is 1ex for max Fire Pen fair then? Or is Fire Pen not even worth that?

[wispy musk]

high level jewels have like really unique stats like increase cold damage on quarterstaffs or #% mana on kill

they usually sell for 5 ex+

stuff that really increases damage not usually elemental stats

like 15% CHC thats a big one

[restive furnace]

ah okay

[wispy musk]

Sounds like it would, put it on and check to see if your "paper DPS" increases for your skill

[wispy musk]

like this could be a 5-10ex jewel

[hidden heath]

My snap dmg is the same with or without that passive

[distant tendon]

So how bad is spark now?

[wispy musk]

Hmm maybe not then

[restive furnace]

Ah okay, so unique, hard to get stats, but the Chaos Damage isn't that big of a deal since you can probably get it on wands (or whatever weapon)?

[hidden heath]

I saw a guy exploding ice walls with frost nova but my frost nova doesn't seem to explode them in 1 hit like his does, even with the crystal - hp talent

[wispy musk]

maybe polcirkeln?

that really helps with cold overdamage

[hidden heath]

What is that?

[wispy musk]

it looks like this when it goes off

https://medal.tv/games/path-of-exile-2/clips/jrF3pfye3I_-wKsT3?invite=cr-MSxQQ1csMzI1MjgzOTc5LA

thats my monk using it

[static plinth]

The more relevant stats, the pricier

[hidden heath]

How expensive is that lol

[static plinth]

I paid around 30ex for duration+max res+one totem stat

[wispy musk]

sometimes it can be cheap I got one the other day for 5ex

[wispy musk]

Yeah I found more good stats the higher up the price it goes

like a 15% CHC/quarterstaff damage/attack speed is like 1 div

[restive furnace]

Hm, is the max res giving you a Res to something, or Res Penetration on your damage?

[static plinth]

You want % inc fire damage, since most of your damage is converted away from phys

[static plinth]

+2% to maximum fire resistance

[restive furnace]

Oh I see

[static plinth]

But you want %inc phys and flat phys on your weapon, since thats a Local modifier, affecting the stats on the weapon, and is what is being converted

[willow wyvern]

What's the most cheapest economically valued build to get started with end game?

[azure wyvern]

is this random or you can allocate your own passives?

[static plinth]

Random

Good ones will be vomit-inducingly expensive

[wispy musk]

Depends on class/what you want to do/currency etc.

[static plinth]

Probably a gas arrow build if i had to guess

[restive furnace]

Ah okay, so it doesn't improve the base damage of the weapon, just damage amounts after being converted first.

[wispy musk]

The easiest would be gemling staff attribute stacking build for quick filthy damage

it also ends up being one of the strongest with lots of money lol

[static plinth]

If its from the weapon itself, itll affect the base damage

If it isnt on the weapon, its after conversion and such

[willow wyvern]

I was looking at tempest flurry monk I think it was

Using caged god staff

[wispy musk]

yeah thats essentially the same as gemling

just gemling attribute stacks better

[restive furnace]

Okay that makes a lot of sense then, thanks!
And then "Damage Penetrates 10% Fire Resistance", is that as good as it sounds, or is it not what it seems? I know defense shred in games is generally good, but maybe that's not exactly the same.

[static plinth]

Its good, but it cant go negative and applies after exposure/curses (which can go negative)

More than 90% penetration is a waste

Since monster ele res cant go above 90

[restive furnace]

I think I have 0 at the moment, so probably not a bad pickup then.

[wispy musk]

doesn't damage pen really only start to help in endgame when you get rares and maps with elemental resists?

[restive furnace]

But that's super helpful to know too, thank you!

[static plinth]

Id also recommend Flammability from the Elemental skills, if you meet the requirements

[static plinth]

Bosses throughout the game all have ele res

[wispy musk]

true just never seen it as an issue since I overpower them

only started to hurt in T15/16 maps

[static plinth]

And certain mobs have relevant resistances (ie the Khopec priests have fire res im pretty sure)

[wispy musk]

when you can freeze lock them and insta kill them with pol. then you never have to think about it

[wild whale]

you guys have they nerfed the inferalist comet build yet

[wispy musk]

they didn't nerf any builds from what I read

[wild whale]

I've reached level 80 and I'm tryna ykykykykyk

https://tenor.com/view/bhocolat-gif-24343951

[proven girder]

Is this a good build?

[wispy musk]

My buddy kept saying "oh bells gonna get nerfed" but they didn't touch any build from what I saw

[restive furnace]

Can't get it yet, but I'll keep an eye on it, thanks! All that's super helpful.

[wild whale]

they did nerf hexxblast cost slightly tho that's why I kind of want to switch off

+120 mana cost in transformation for whatever reason

[wispy musk]

oh fair enough, but they didn't touch monk which is nice

[wild whale]

also removed my life on kill gain for some reason

idek why the devs are breaking my heart like this

[proven girder]

I really wanna do an infernalist build that's uses demon form and fire skills is there a good version of that or not really

[wild whale]

there definitely is

the fireball ice wall build is nuts

[carmine flicker]

are there even good fire slkills in game tho?

[hidden heath]

Yes and it works very good, mine died at 87 this morning

You need % hp reduction, you have two unique rings for that

Also ghostwite tunic

[wispy musk]

I thougt the same it always seems to be ice and lightning

[wild whale]

mings heart ring

[hidden heath]

And there is a bug witha helmet that is another unique that gives u regen for your es

[proven girder]

Do you have a build for that

[hidden heath]

So you can switch helms on demon form and get to 500 stacks easy

[white light]

Hey guys in your opinion should I continue progressing my warrior(lvl 6) or should I change to a witch before I invest too far? Been thinking about trying it but I still don't have a fair opinion of the warrior yet

[ripe seal]

My ps5 item filter from fubgub not working. Anyone got their ps5 loot filter working?

[wispy musk]

You play whatever makes you happy not what is "optimal"

[pearl sluice]

ur level 6

play the game

[wispy musk]

yeah 💯

once you get to endgame and if you hate the warrior then change

[carmine flicker]

look like fireballs are good shotgun machine with ice walls against bosses

[hot rapids]

does 20 percent quiality and 40 percent increased phys from runes just mean a 60 percent increase in phys?

[carmine flicker]

for some reason in POE2 you CAN explode against your own ice wall, despite in POE1 that was removed long ago

[proven girder]

I miss my living bomb builds

[wispy musk]

You can only get 60% from corrupted pieces of gear with 3 slots or more

[proven girder]

Been trying to get those to work and it's just not worth it

[hot rapids]

i meant does 20 qual and 40 from runes mean 60

[proven girder]

Do you happen to have the skills and stuff or no?

[white light]

Lol I was tonight will be my 2nd play but I seen a video and the demon form looked good.

[static plinth]

Quality is 20% More, not 20% Inc

[wispy musk]

nah I'm pretty certain the 20% quality only increases it by a smidge

[hot rapids]

so base * 1.4 * 1.2 which is 68 percent?

[hidden heath]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ew71k3jWdh0&ab_channel=ronarray I used this one with my own variations of passive tree, got me to 88 until I died to a lag spike

[winter vortex]

what's a good damage roll for warstaff at t15?

[carmine flicker]

that's one of the worst kind of advice, tbh
noone(ok, really few people could be exception..) is "happy" playing smth that doesn't work and die nonstop

[proven girder]

Ayo thank so much

[static plinth]

Base+Additional Flat * 1.4+Other Inc on item * 1.2

[pearl sluice]

warrior doesnt have any problems its just harder to pilot

the class is strong

[wispy musk]

like a 50% cold modifer on a breach ring increases it by like an extra 10 damage

[wispy musk]

No it isn't if they are dying then yes change up the build look at guides

but saying hey play only one way and thats it is bull

[hot rapids]

tyty

[carmine flicker]

well
few things to know if you choose warrior
1)armour doesn't work
2)most melee skills early one are worse than your auto attack

[pearl sluice]

armor does work and you dont use autos

[wispy musk]

He never said he was dying he just wanted to know if it was worth it

[carmine flicker]

cloak of flame is literally better than 15-20k armour against most endgame content

[pearl sluice]

theres a reason titan is picked signifgantly more than other classes in HC and its because its hard to die on

the only one topping it is infernalist

[carmine flicker]

name one early game mace skill that is good
staff skills ARE good tho, no doubt about that..

[pearl sluice]

armors issue is, and probably still is after the patch, effectiveness vs large damage hits

theres never been a problem clearing maps on it

[carmine flicker]

15% buff was nothing, tbh

[thorny vine]

1.15 x 0 = 0

[pearl sluice]

its just anything that hits for large physical damage has to be dodged or mitigated some other way

[carmine flicker]

you need around 10k armour to reduce 1k hit to 500
20k to reduce 1k hit to 333 damage

[pearl sluice]

unless ur stacking es kek

[wispy musk]

this is why people prefer ES

you get like 4k ES with grim and you can tank heaps

[carmine flicker]

yeah
20k ES can easy consume 20 1k hits...

[pearl sluice]

its not 4k lol

im at 6k es no grim and 18k with it

[hidden heath]

How can you be 6k es no grim and 18 with

[carmine flicker]

yeah, you can have 20k ES easy with grim

[hidden heath]

Shouldn't it be 12?

[carmine flicker]

yeah, it should be 12

[wispy musk]

yeah 12k makes sense 18k makes 0 sense

I mean maybe 13k if its like 6.5k

[hidden heath]

And it's very hard to get 20k ES with grim

You need very specific items

[carmine flicker]

still 10k es before grim is more than reachable

[wispy musk]

100%

I just got bored with my monk and gave up on increasing ES and min maxing my build

[hidden heath]

I had all the ES increase nodes from the top tree and I could only get 14,5k ES with grim on before I died

[carmine flicker]

you need that cool mana as ES neck and then stack life+mana gear on infernalist?)

[hidden heath]

So I dont know how you can squeeze 20k

[wispy musk]

I've heard of people with like 30k+ though

[carmine flicker]

and all 3 beidat ofc

[pearl sluice]

ye the overcap is to high

[hidden heath]

I think it s possible but to get those ES amounts you would have to equip yourself to get there meaning you would lack a lot of dmg, I guess

[pearl sluice]

beidants hand is rlly good also if ur witch having that gets u pretty high es with lower investments

[carmine flicker]

then again hound will be better than a bit of ES most likely, but w/e

[pearl sluice]

u dont go tripple hand ever

hound is way stronger

hand+will unless life stacking but es stacking is better regardless

until nerfs

[carmine flicker]

you do if you want to go low life smth smth abuse?
idk if it worth it

[scarlet shadow]

Does damage against your energy shield (or mana when you have Mind Over Matter) trigger recoup effects? For example, with damage taken recouped as mana, would a hit against your ES cause you to recoup mana over time?

Having the hardest time finding this info clearly spelled out super clearly. 😬

[carmine flicker]

I tried to make smth about life+mana stack+ZO+rise of the phoenix pain attunent low life

ehh, not worth it

with atziri helmet and mana to ES neck for the stupid ES amount(like 30% of life and 30% of mana as base and that's easy 1800 base ES or smth)

[carmine flicker]

yeah, it's damage

you take it

[scarlet shadow]

Awesome, thank you!

[carmine flicker]

you recoup all damage you take, regardless of "where"
I use that to have my mana close to full despite taking 20% of damage there

you can see that in character tab

take MoM, take some life recoup, find weak mob

let him hit you

look at "recovery" in char tab

(under life)

[proven girder]

Is ghostwithe and mings heart expensive?

[scarlet shadow]

Great, thanks TwiceBorned!

[proven girder]

I'm planing on convert my current build into a hexblast build but don't know if it's worth it to full switch to demon form

If I cant get the gear

[carmine flicker]

around 15 ex for 2 rings and body total?

[proven girder]

Oh that's not bad ty

[carmine flicker]

problem is getting that regen

but I guess you have that solved

[carmine flicker]

just never take the "10 max flare" passive

that one is bad

[proven girder]

That's what I've been told

By everyone

[pearl sluice]

gear/level first then swap to demon

[proven girder]

Is there an easy way to reset all my nodes?

[pearl sluice]

no

[carmine flicker]

ehh, wait for reset
then you will have all your nodes(and gear, and character) erased anyway and free to lvl up new one!

[heady burrow]

Anyone know how multiple gravebinds in a party works?

[proven girder]

Well my current char is only 41

[pearl sluice]

afaik hc is being reset and standard isnt

[meager jackal]

I need help understanding this. Why would they put cold infusion support gem into herald of thunder? It doesnt make sense

[proven girder]

I guess I could just level a new witch

[heady burrow]

they cant proc themselves with their own type of damage

[proven girder]

I'll prolly just do thst

[pearl sluice]

leveling on demon form looks like leveling minions until u have multiple ascendies available and gear

if u have only a level 40 character just play till the end of the game then respec

[meager jackal]

I dont get it 😄 if I take it out I have 1600 dmg, if I put it in i have 1200.

[jaunty reef]

anyone got any advice on triggering cast on shock and cast on critical? i feel like my chances for both are pretty high but it also feels like they arent triggering nearly as often as they should (even considering the nerf they got) also yes i am running meta energy gain jewels

[vast chasm]

Has there been any word on fixing Shockwave totem yet?

[carmine flicker]

lvling summoner is best lvl anyway
archers make word explode
frost mages = safe and tons of damage

[heady burrow]

making them proc eachother over and over is more important

[carmine flicker]

buth those 1200 have cold
and can freeze
and trigger herald of cold

and then herald of cold with lightning infusion trigger herald of thunder

and it "autobomb"

[meager jackal]

OH ok yeah

[carmine flicker]

well
max chance to shock is 25% at base afaik
doesn't sound all that cool
(before more/increased from nodes and supports)

[pearl sluice]

what is your chance to shock and chance to crit

[carmine flicker]

he can't say his chance to shock tho

depends on mob

[pearl sluice]

you can just say ur bonus chance

to shock

thats like saying you cant say ur dps

bc it depends on mob

[carmine flicker]

well
DPS is way more consistent(you only need to remove resistances and/or armour and that's trivial)

hitting for 100% of ailment threshold of every mob isn't nearly as guaranteed

[lapis nacelle]

I am looking to upgrade my wand, I currently have a +4 with 73% combined of spell/lightning, would it be better to get a +5 or go for higher spell/lightning on a +4?

[carmine flicker]

how much do you have from tree?

increased damage

and what spell

[astral badger]

i have 4901 mana on my mom/eb/ci cryshock sorceress build. my chest piece has 637 energy shield with 2 iron runes. Is there a way for me to tell whether or not my mana would be higher with 2 '2% increased max mana' runes?

[carmine flicker]

+1 to spell lvl is almost always around 11-12% more damage
unless smth lvl threshold is there(like arc where hitting +1 to chain give even more)

[lapis nacelle]

spark, I am sorry I don't know how to check total from tree. Is there an easy way to do that? lol I am still kinda new to poe

[carmine flicker]

create your tree in maxroll passive tree calc or smth like that

[icy quarry]

guys does cold modifiers do anything for this ring?

[carmine flicker]

wdym?

[icy quarry]

the quality enchancement

does it do anything?

[pearl sluice]

hover it and read

[proven girder]

is there reason i wait till endgame for respec is because gold is easier to come by?

[pearl sluice]

its because leveling on demon isnt very good

[carmine flicker]

you also need/want to skip 2 bosses as demon inferno

ones that give % max life to you

[proven girder]

thats a boss in act 3 right

[carmine flicker]

no

Ogham Manor

Candlemass, The Living Rite

[jaunty reef]

for my cast on shock/critical combo build i am using sparks as my initial triggering spell, should i stick with it or swap to a different spell?

[hidden heath]

8% isn't gonna hurt you because you will have like 300 hp at level 85+ if you have the 2 unique rings and ghost armor

[carmine flicker]

it give 20 life in first difficulty and 8% max life in cruel

[carmine flicker]

still better not to have in this case

[hidden heath]

I mean, of course but it's barely noticeable

Because if he has what he needs to run that build he won't notice having 8% more hp or not since his hp will be very reduced and the hp regen he will have regardless

[proven girder]

cause you also wanna run run alot of health on kill right

[carmine flicker]

well
it's extra 2-3 stacks before you need to demon-off I guess

[hidden heath]

You can reach like 500 stacks until you have to switch back

2-3 stacks ain't gonna mark the difference

[carmine flicker]

and life of kill won't help much afaik

tho I didn't play it so can be wrong

[hidden heath]

And you dont nee dlife on kill just hp regen because the monment your life starts to drop you ain't gonna get it up

You need % regen gems

Get 10 gems, would be 1 ex or 2 each

With 10%+ hp regen

[carmine flicker]

not % regen, but % increased life regen rate

[hidden heath]

Yeah, that
