[thorny token]

looks right

[compact needle]

hey guys i just started and i wantedd to know like a decent ranger guide

if someone had a link it would be great

[lavish haven]

there a way to kick start ES regen? never made a ES based build... but my recharge rate is kinda low

running well atm but i get i will struggle at a points
@dawn spire do u have a moment? 😄

[fiery aspen]

ok so i keep adding the primary gem and supports under it like that added as 'new' ones for my other skills/heralds etc?
what does the 'active' skill tag actually do

[thorny token]

it means its acctive on left

and yes use new for every new skill

[proud sorrel]

I was wondering, if I put spell cascade on detonate dead and goes from 121 dps down to 85, is it accounting for the extra corpses that is causes to explode?

Or should I assume, if 3 corpses explode it would actually be 85x3?

[thorny token]

its not accounting for those no

[proud sorrel]

Now, if I put echo on that too is it possible for the extra explosions to echo as well or just the initial explosion?

[thorny token]

echo is just repeat so you use the skill twice and every use will cascade

[worldly grail]

I've tried searching and haven't found any good answers, so I just want to ask in case someone knows-- is there a way to copy an item from the trade website into POB? The button isn't there, but it seems like there should be some way to just copy the individual lines of text then creating a custom item in PoB2 and pasting it in

[thorny token]

idk how you plan to sustain your minions while doingthat but you can do it sure

[proud sorrel]

Oh, so it might be possibe to get additional cascades off an echo?

Thanks, I am just experimenting with detonate dead.

[thorny fractal]

any build with god clear speed t18 all 8 points breeches? with low investment like 10-20 div?

invoker?

[merry bone]

ES Regen can be gained by using Zealot's Oath - but ES Recharge has nodes for "Faster start of Recharge" - which decreases the amount of time between your list hit of dmg before reacharge begins

[merry bone]

Just budget Tri-Stack

[thorny fractal]

tristack?

do u have guide for it?

[merry bone]

theres like a million of them - Pillar / HoWA - Gemling Legionnaire

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6XBe7cX45o&t=24s

[faint smelt]

HI everyone! Quick question on the minion dps - what is the best way to check full minion dps? I'm running witch-infernalist-arsonist build. Do dps calcs take into account combos like Flame Wall?

[merry bone]

nope

[faint smelt]

Is there any way to view max minion DPS in game then?

[merry bone]

use the arrow on the skills panel and look at the dps of each skill/attack your minions use

[lavish haven]

so i should go in to that thing... i mean i have a lot atm, but its just a question of time till i face something that will punch it all down :d

so thake that thing

[merry bone]

i definitley did n ot say you should take that - but you asked about ES Regen - and zealots is the primary way to obtain ES Regen. If you want to focus on ES recharge - thats different

[lavish haven]

not really since there isnt much i can take that can give me recharge rate

[merry bone]

theres loads of nodes for es recharge

[delicate aspen]

what would you put on "cast on block" if you were running magma barrier build?

[merry bone]

But also - just grim feast

[lavish haven]

yeah but not on my path

[merry bone]

well then if you have alot of life regen - zealots oath can be good

[lavish haven]

thats something i can easy get, on gear and not that rare to have

so i guess thats the best option

[gloomy jackal]

I'm trying to find the best way to trigger Ice bite, and this one seems to not spread the shards when you oneshot the enemy mob? That seems pretty bad or am I missing something

the shards seem great for triggering ice bite so wanted to use it

[gusty kindle]

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/profile/842e9ab7-87b0-47bc-82bd-3cee830cc9bf/builds/b7367fd8-8f41-471d-822d-bdcef66ba45c

is that build good? My dps is fine but I feel like I am not rushing those t15 maps easily down

[sudden pewter]

which is best Distilled Emotions Passives u can get for monk build which use cold and lightning ?

[gloomy jackal]

Don says these are solid

[sudden pewter]

is doomsayer good ? @gloomy jackal

[dawn spire]

Path of building can tell you which one will give you the most dps

[sudden pewter]

did poe2 pob came out already ?

[thorny token]

yes

[gloomy jackal]

if you need help with herald chains yea very good

and not travelling nearby

[jaunty kayak]

I just bought the game and started playing and I'm gonna do my first playthrough as spark sorceress. Is there anything I should think about or any stats I should focus on?

[gaunt urchin]

Is +Skill Effect Duration worth on Cold Chronomancers?

[rancid cipher]

Is Blackbraid + armor viable? I know the stats on it aren't great, but that's true for Cloak of Flame as well and people use that.

[thorny token]

the damage reduction from armour is applied before resistances with it so its kinda garbage

[rancid cipher]

With enough armor could you use it in place of resistances?

[thorny token]

dont think so

[forest agate]

anyone know how to put the weapon slot passive points into PoB???

[rancid cipher]

Damn, alright. I was thinking about trying to use it + stack armor for a recoup melee build with Chronomancer. Figured armor would be the best way to prevent one shots since being in melee would limit energy shield charge.

[thorny token]

alt + scroll

[forest agate]

tyty

[delicate aspen]

Anyone got an interesting Warbringer Svalinn cast on block build?

So far my homebrew Magma barrier sweeps the floor with everything. but I want to try something fun with "Cast on block"

[lapis slate]

Please I need help, I just got a VERY valuable item. It's "The Adorned" with a 97% roll. I don't wanna get scammed, it says it's around 200div, but i'm not sure

[elder mural]

Does the quality on the skill gem you use for a Meta trigger still work? For example, if I add quality to Comet and use it with my Cast on Freeze setup, will the quality from Comet affect Cast on Crit?

[median spoke]

I'd assume so; considering the skill level of the gem you use is taken into account, I don't see why quality wouldn't

[night galleon]

190-200 is correct

[lapis slate]

thanks

[stiff hinge]

What's a good way to sustain mana on a caster? I usually just rely on pyromantic or some weird low mana stuff or arcane

[brittle jetty]

Hm, how do you put points in weapon sets in PoB?

[forest agate]

alit +scroll

[brittle jetty]

thanks

[royal cliff]

Anyone know if sceptre's "allies in your presence deal extra dmg/castspd etc" affect yourself?

[merry bone]

you are not your ally

[royal cliff]

dam ty

[gloomy jackal]

If you want you can follow a guide, like captainLance's one, or you can just get stats that correspond to you main skills. Try to get resists and life on gear during lvling, and spell stuff on weapon

[slate nexus]

Is there any point in increasing the spirit level of Raging Spirits?

https://poe2db.tw/Raging_Spirits

[merry bone]

yes - they do more dmg

[slate nexus]

Where does it show that?

[graceful token]

Anyone with a rlly well geared deadeye willing to help a fellow m8 to better his build (i have resources for buying new gear)

[cunning panther]

is there a good place to browse current builds ? Wanna try out something new, but have hard time searching

[merry bone]

minion data is atrocious in POE - they do more dmg with levels

[night radish]

If I'm playing ice strike monk, is it best to go howa+pillar or just get a good phy staff and rare gloves?

[slate nexus]

So in the data base, I can assume if Minion level increase so does dmg?

[merry bone]

yep

[slate nexus]

Thanks!

[merry bone]

Howa/Pillar is just a different build. So do you want to stat stack - or would you rather build differently?

[night radish]

I know they are built different. I'm looking for what's best way to go

I mostly likely won't ever have astra btw

[merry bone]

"best" is a terrible term in POE - because unless you tell me you have a couple dozen mirrors sitting around - we really cant discuss the best

[night radish]

I'm not rich but can farm divs

[merry bone]

Budget Howa/Pillar is good - but you typically do it, so you can farm enough to invest into astra and an end game iteration. If you never plan to farm hard enough/long enough to do that - then just play a more standard set up with rare staff

[night radish]

Ok. So can I swap to howa setup if I still have good enough gear with stats or is there a threshold for stats?

[hybrid obsidian]

can someoen give me a rough idea of how much mana and es i shoudl expect to have when i switch to everlasting gaze ED/MoM setup? what is th eamoutn im kinda aiming for

im running without gaze right now im curious what to expect

[merry bone]

You can add in HOWA to a Rare staff set up by stacking intelligence - that would give you more added flat dmg. But for Pillar you also want to be stacking STr so you get the % multiplier from the staff. If you dont have Str & Int in good amounts Pillar wont be good enough

[merry bone]

There isnt like a threshhold here - you can basically swap to that setup whenever you want.

[night radish]

Ok. Last question. Is the a base line I want for total amount between the two?

[hybrid obsidian]

well im not worried about a threshold im wanting to know what the expected amonts are, since i was at over 6k es and 2k mana, i swapped to ED and lost a ton of es it it will be along time before i can re gear. Im wonderrintg how much it will imporve my build when i do i have no frame of reference i didnt even know what gaze wa till someone told me ye sterday

[quasi oasis]

Can anyone tell me how to activate archmage in POB2?

[merry bone]

the expected amounts are based on what your gear and tree has on it - not sure i udnerstand the question. There are not necessary amounts - you just have what you have with your gear & setu p

[hybrid obsidian]

ok what numbers should i want then

[merry bone]

you basically want stats on every possible piece - spec out of most nodes execpt for pathing nodes - and then ingenuity 2 badass breach rings for as much as you can humanly get

[night radish]

I mean, 500 int and 500 str would be good base line for it to feel worth using? Just trying to figure out what to aim for

[hybrid obsidian]

i normaly would just look at ninja for values but since its not up yet i cant see, im just looking for generally wha it is

[merry bone]

as much as humanly possible. Its your life poola t the end of the day and you have no other defenses - so you want as much as you can get.

Its just a weird questio n - because you can literally run EB/MoM/Everlasting to level with. I swapped at like 42

[hybrid obsidian]

lol

ok

[cobalt cape]

Anyone know the best witch build atm?

[gusty kindle]

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/profile/842e9ab7-87b0-47bc-82bd-3cee830cc9bf/builds/b7367fd8-8f41-471d-822d-bdcef66ba45c

I am kinda new to the game (80h in right now) I followed this build and I am playing on t15 maps rn but I feel like that I have reached the end of this build and I don’t know where to go next

[merry bone]

how rich are you?

[gusty kindle]

and It’s not like I am clearing the t15 very flawlessly I would really appreciate it if someone could help me

[cobalt cape]

Newly hit endgame, 0 divs

[merry bone]

then infernalist minions - arsonists most likely right now

[cobalt cape]

The one made by kripp?

[merry bone]

There really isnt much to the build - so go look for anyones. Ghazzy or Balormage. Helmbreaker from maxroll. Dont know if Pr3vie did one for arsonists.

[merry bone]

so did you actually get to the Ingenuity , multiple 6Link stage of this build?

[cobalt cape]

Thank you 🙂

[merry bone]

Also any time you open a build guide and see this...... run.... far.....

[thorny token]

everyone who mentions fun when making a guide cant defend their actual choices in the guide, easiest thing to avoid :d

[gusty kindle]

I didn’t understand it with the ingenuity belt because the website says it’s a belt with +25 intelligence and when I looked for the belt it was a different one.

And what do you mean by 6Link Stage

[gusty kindle]

I mean it really isn’t bad the build

[quasi rover]

Anyone do any Shield Charge theorycrafting around here?

[gusty kindle]

I have like 60k dmg

[merry bone]

There are like 5 skills in this build guide that have 6 sockets - have you pushed the build to that level? The supports they use are important for how the build functions to clear content

[gusty kindle]

Ah I understand

[merry bone]

Also - if you havent - then you are nowhere near "reaching the end of the build"

[gusty kindle]

I’ve got 1 of them 3 with 5 slots yes but the other thing is I don’t get how he has so much spirit to use all of those support skills

[merry bone]

Body armour with 1900 Evasion

[gusty kindle]

I have to get 1 armor piece with 1900 evasion??

Or overall

[merry bone]

A chest piece with 1900 evasion

[static gulch]

Whats the best mace AOE for mapping?

[gusty kindle]

Holy

[merry bone]

thats what your ascendancy node gives you.... spirit per evasion on your chest

[gusty kindle]

how expensive is that?

yeah I got that

I am only missing the last 2

[merry bone]

Depends on what else you get on the chest - how much life, how much res.

[gusty kindle]

okay I see

[waxen jewel]

Wtf I got perfect jeweller's at level 75

Very happy

[gusty kindle]

nice !

@merry bone thank you for you help man

[robust radish]

Is ingenuity even worth it on lightning arrow cause you equip thief's torment for bosses

[merry bone]

well it would increase thiefs - and its not like you do it for map bosses - only pinnacles - so swapping out your belt then would be fine

[warped lance]

Gemling or monk for stat stacking? I just got a juicy ingenuity and attribute gear and am thinking of swapping over.

[waxen jewel]

Fucking lovely, disconnect on the during ascendancy scorpion fight

I love trials

Ohh nvm, you can contunie

[static plinth]

I think you start at the start of the floor though dont you

Or do you just restart the fight

[waxen jewel]

Yeah I need I can't defeat him before getting more chaos res

[dense surge]

does eternal youth work with eldritch battery?

as in, both flasks for mana

[waxen jewel]

I get in slow goop and undodgeable tail attack

[merry bone]

No - ES converted to Mana is Mana - not ES

[dense surge]

roger ty

[winter vortex]

What's higher than "expert" equipment?

[full prairie]

has anyone used the pob2 yet? I'm messing with the features and im trying to determine if I should be searching by hit DPS, Full DPS, or Combined DPS

[merry bone]

nothing

[torn kayak]

does penetration apply before or after curses/exposure?

[merry bone]

last and never takes a mob below 0 Resistance

[azure wyvern]

I don't get it, how does Kripp has over 600 STR?
On his gear only shield has STR

I have only 400 STR yet with the 2 uniques giving a lot of STR...

and I have the increases to attributes and STR

[merry bone]

You get 123 Passive points - and each one can give you 5 STR - so without seeing his exact tree - hard to know

[indigo valley]

Is Armor any good now ? for map sustain. Thinking of starting a warrior char

[merry bone]

15% better than total garbo

[indigo valley]

ethical

[merry bone]

screenshots of trees while we have 3 active planners.....

so did you follow his tree? Hes got alot of pathing nodes and the nodes around Beef

[azure wyvern]

no, I am just want to know how the heck he gets so much str

[merry bone]

from his tree and his gear\

[azure wyvern]

I am now following his build. I have my own

[azure wyvern]

watch his latest video. He shows his gear for a few second each item

only shield has STR

[merry bone]

Yea - im not doing that

[azure wyvern]

is this increasing those nodes with +5 STR?

but still it wouldn't be as much...

[merry bone]

Str only comes from 2 places. Tree and Gear. He gets a small multipler on the 8 Str nodes, and the attribute nodes by polymathy if he took them due to Titan

[atomic halo]

not the +5 attr ones

[merry bone]

And no - Titan does not impact the 5 Attr nodes

[atomic halo]

hulking form doesnt affect those

[merry bone]

Also - the screenshots above are of 2 different trees, so i dont even know anymore. Get a copy of his planner - he should have linked it in his video - otherwise, you'll have to recreate it

[azure wyvern]

he has +22 STR amulet

[serene lotus]

The higher I go up in waystone tiers, do the gear drops naturally get better (higher rolls)? Im getting bored as shit doing map after map hours on in and not getting any type of gear upgrade

[azure wyvern]

but still, I have +50 STR belt...

and not even close to his 600 STR

in his video he doesn't even have belt

[merry bone]

Item level drives the availability of higher tier mods on items. Rolls on higher tier waystones can increase rarity and quantity higher - allowing you to get more items.

[azure wyvern]

there isn't as it is build, just talking about armor changes

[indigo valley]

I made a build for Stormcaller Arrow Deadeye, but not sure how further to improve it... Any ideas ? One thing I know I could do is probably get against the darkness cold dmg jewel but it's kinda expensive for me atm. https://maxroll.gg/poe2/pob/rs3rh0yw

[wary wave]

Does "Pierce the heart" guarantee a pierce ? As in, can I take it and just have a free pierce or does it require me to have a pierce before ?

Passive says "Skills pierce an additional target"

which makes me think that I need an initial pierce to use it

[atomic halo]

additional from 0 = 1

[wary wave]

ah okay

[delicate aspen]

I'm getting the feeling that I should have gone with Gemling instead of Warrior

[queen crypt]

Just hit 85 on Invoker Monk. What's the better endgame build to transition into? Raxx's? Skryah's? Any other?

[merry bone]

who and who?

[atomic halo]

very helpful

id suggest to ask in https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1322159812863066133

[grave locust]

best is your own build, copy and paste streamer builds is boring

[atomic halo]

very helpful

[dawn spire]

Mostly no, but there are some items that drop unidentified that will say, like, "Mephisto's Toothbrush (Tier3)" and if you identify it, it will ONLY have tier3+ mods on it (for example it might have +3mm to bristle length, 80% increased plaque removal, and +3 to level of toothpaste).

As you do higher tier zones, you can find higher tiers of those types of items

[opal bobcat]

Is recoup calculating before or after adding my resistances?
So if I have for example 100% damage taken recouped as life, 30% fire res and take 100 damage, will I heal for 100 life or 70?

[dawn spire]

Recoup it based entirely on the damage you take. So after all defenses/resistances

[opal bobcat]

Kk ty

[azure wyvern]

what do you need to do to get to 600 STR?

[merry bone]

Spec into str on the tree, and get str on your gear

[dawn spire]

And maybe be a gemling

[rich fjord]

Guys what is considered "low life" on enemies? What life %?

[azure wyvern]

I can get like another 50 STR from the tree by leveling
but I will be around 500 STR

idk the secret of the best players

[merry bone]

Theres no secret

[azure wyvern]

if those and getting +10% attributes and 5% STR is giving me 400 STR idk anymore
somehow you can get 600 STR with only 50 STR on amulet and shield together

[rich fjord]

Is it 35% health or 50% health? Im finding both answers on google

[merry bone]

35 in poe2

[rich fjord]

Thank you

So, for witch hunter, which path does the best ttk on bosses and rares. The no mercy path or the decimating strike path?

[plain cloud]

Hey, I'm trying to make a build with HoWA + the new Original Sin ring + Beyond Reach quiver, could anyone help me with ways I can scale this build ? I'm thinking Poison is the way to go probably but what items/stats/nodes would synergize/be recommended for such a build?

[azure wyvern]

can you have 2 the same spirit skills?

[waxen jewel]

Are there any natural sources of Normal rarity jewels?

[dawn spire]

Random drops

[waxen jewel]

The fuck

[dawn spire]

Pretty sure I've found jewels with no mods

[waxen jewel]

I need to check my filter

Just because, jewels have so small pool of affixes with some essences

[static plinth]

I think i got a normal emerald from Sekhema cache once

[shrewd jungle]

kek, quarterstaff is broken

im leveling my 2nd witch with it and rampaging through third act wiuthout even doing trial yet

trial feels like waste of time at this point

and 70% evasion with just body armor

..

[fading ether]

does that staff work with ranger too?

[twilit cairn]

what should i socket into Wind Dancer for survivability ?

[shrewd jungle]

as long as you can get monk passives it should work just fine

[shrewd jungle]

life on kill

[merry bone]

dont really need to go poison - you can just go hit/crit dmg - or you could go poison

[fading ether]

maybe pin?

[proud sorrel]

Looks like Cast on Minion Death socketed spells still count toward Infernal Flame, is this a bug or normal?

[dawn spire]

I like maim, blind, and pin

Maybe encumberence

[twilit cairn]

dont see that anywhere

[dawn spire]

I don't think that's a support in poe2, unless you mean cannibalism

[pliant sleet]

For ice monk (lvl 40) does any1 know any good items worth 1-3 exalted i can buy?

i am struggling on chaos trials

[merry bone]

Just good quality rares with life/resistance/flat attack dmg

[dawn spire]

https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1328202289755983932 has guidance on gearing without trading but it also goes over what stats are important in the campaign

[merry bone]

biigest thing for an attack build is your weapon and your movement speed. So weapon and boots

[shrewd jungle]

i dont remember name of any skiullgem in this game, but i remember all the effects

[pliant sleet]

what is the name of a good pair of boots?

[shrewd jungle]

4% life on kill is the effect, it costs spirit to socket into persistent skill

[pliant sleet]

an thanks ill check out the guide

[merry bone]

gonna be rare, so a name wont be relevant.

[pliant sleet]

ok ty

my hp is super low and reistsnace too

6% fire, 31% lightning, 26% cold.. lol

662hp and 75 shield - that's low for lvl 42 monk right?

[shrewd jungle]

not super low

but i have same hp and 450 es at 32 lvl

but its understandable if its your first character

you can get very good unique chestpiece for 1 vaal/1 regal orb at trade

it will give you huge evasion and ES

[merry bone]

Rings tend to be a great place to shore up your resistances

[pliant sleet]

is there a recommendation of what unique chest? I have one! but its level 11 unfortunately.

oh damn thanks ima try buy one.

is a vaal orb worth less than an exalted?

[shrewd jungle]

yes

lately exalt is about 6 vaals

i didn check prices today, they jump down and up like crazy

[pliant sleet]

ok dope i have like 2 vaals but 10 exalted

so i should be able to get an ok one

[shrewd jungle]

im at 77% evasion with this jacket

at 32 lvl

you will get a little less because you are higher level, but still decent amount

and it should also boost your ES

but remember to get one with at least 100 ES, its updated version after last patch

its like 2x more effective now

there is 1 for 1 regal atm xdddd

with 2 socket slots

[pliant sleet]

just saw that one

is it good u think

[shrewd jungle]

get it

it cant get any cheaper for 20 ress and high rolls with sockets ready

[mortal garnet]

hey just curious why hands of wisdom and action are so sought after, are they good for invoker?

[merry bone]

good for anything that attacks that can get intelligence

[mortal garnet]

is it just the atk speed or the extra lightning damage

[merry bone]

the flat lightning dmg

[mortal garnet]

ok that makes sense

[pliant sleet]

aight i got it

what 2 runes would u put in?

[keen marlin]

worth to vall it?

[pliant sleet]

iron rune?

[keen marlin]

vaal

[merry bone]

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Standard/W0blEpKTm

Rings a good place to fix your res - this link is for Rings with >80 Life and >60 combined resistances for no more than 3 exalts. If your rings arent in a good spot - take a scroll

[pliant sleet]

here are my rings

[merry bone]

ooooof

no.... no no no no no

[pliant sleet]

these r the best i have found so far

do i put "Iron rune" into the 2 sockets on armor?

[merry bone]

ideally - but you need to fix res issues - so id hold off until you look at maybe some other pieces then determine if you should socket resistances there instead

[pliant sleet]

ah ok

[merry bone]

you can overwrite them now - so you can change if you solve res another way

[pliant sleet]

so i go from 75 -> 195 shield and also 38 -> 49% evasion with that body

[waxen jewel]

Can you re-socket Corrupted items?

[pliant sleet]

right so whats wrong with my rings?

the first one has a lot of cold resist

[merry bone]

The unique modifiers on that body are the real win. If a hit gets through your Evasion it does 20% less dmg - and when you get hit your evasion is increased by 100%

[merry bone]

So the link i sent you is rings startihg with a combined 60 resistances. That ring currently had 39 res and basically nothing else.

[naive trail]

Does anyone know how to update the Trader module in path of building with the current exchange prices manually? since the poe.ninja api is not available yet?
I know there's a private Path of building discord but I don't want to bother them with this, it seems it's only for active development.

[merry bone]

for 1 ex - you can just dumpster that ring

[pliant sleet]

ahhh i got u

and to find those rings

u just search for any ring.. an u searched for at least 15% resist?

[merry bone]

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Standard/W0blEpKTm

If you expand the show filters button - you can see the criteria i entered

Its a weighted sum search

[dawn spire]

Without 20% quality? Hell no

[merry bone]

Whoops - actually - use this one https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Standard/3RvKO3Ki5

[tulip fog]

if i have a chance to ignite meta gem with a skill inside, then link this support, does it make the skill have 10 seconds between triggers? or does it trigger repeatedly still (ignoring the cooldown)

[shrewd jungle]

usually i would recommend that

[pliant sleet]

right let me try buy a couple tings.

[shrewd jungle]

you need resistances on your rings, thats for sure

[pliant sleet]

rings*

[shrewd jungle]

and maybe some added damage to attacks

[pliant sleet]

yeh Ojntoast sent me a good filter

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Standard/3RvKO3Ki5

[shrewd jungle]

eh

[merry bone]

This one will give you options with some flat dmg also https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Standard/d9r8rpviJ

[shrewd jungle]

dont forget added damage to attacks

its important on monks

unless you're not running staff ?

[pliant sleet]

i have this staff

think it is time i upgrade it

it was all i could afford at the time

[shrewd jungle]

i mean, im not even runing good rings myself, but i dont care since i have over 2k dps

[waxen jewel]

Level 78, ilvl 49 bow :(. I wish we had crafting bench

[pliant sleet]

would you say this ring would be good for 1ex orb?

[shrewd jungle]

i dont know price, but im using these i found myself

and helmet with onslaught for 8 exa

[pliant sleet]

dam those look good, i need to upgrade most pieces of equipment i think

[pearl sluice]

1 ex

prob 2 regals for the bottom one

[pliant sleet]

pretty much all my items suck

that helmet looks good i think i might get that.

[shrewd jungle]

if you get both of these you bascially have +45% attack speed as long as you have 90+% mana

it makes this game look bizzare

i have over 70% attack speed at 32 lvl if you add staff 11% and skill tree 19%

[pliant sleet]

so my ice strike has 1559 DPS

i have pretty much only 1 unqique item

[shrewd jungle]

and bell, i cant even describe how much dmg it does

lol

[pliant sleet]

im running triple bell lol

[merry bone]

Uniques arent by default "good" - they have niches, and you need to use them in conjunction with your build and other gear

[pearl sluice]

uniques arent very definitive alot of them have really low stats making them extremely outclasses by rares

some of them have extremely strong unique effects and some of them enable certain playstyles not possible but usually rares with decent rolls>unique of that armor piece

[twilit cairn]

how do i get a lvl 10 spirit gem in ssf, if i rly need one??

[pliant sleet]

ok that 1 ring give me extra 300dps, a lot more resist, and +100 hp

dank.

now i just need 1 more

[merry bone]

Farm zones in the level range of a level 10 spirit gem unfortunately

[twilit cairn]

ye, but what zones are that ? 🙂

[merry bone]

if you have any level 10 skill gem - look at the usable level - find the campaign zones around there

Given spirit gem drop rate though - that sounds like actual misery though

[shrewd jungle]

this is too general, usually most armor uniques are good if they give you stats that you need

but 99% weapon uniques are sheet

[hollow phoenix]

I have this ring but ingenuity utility belt not increased my dps at all

do you guys know why?

[merry bone]

thats not actually possible

Unless you arent using an attack?

[shrewd jungle]

^

[waxen jewel]

Very core meta-trigger gem question: Cast on Shock triggers and casts the socketed Ball Lightning in it. Can the resulting Ball Lightning build energy for its trigger gem? I vaguely remember there being something non-obvious here

[shrewd jungle]

maybe you check spell dmg insted of attack dmg ?

[shrewd jungle]

yes

[hollow phoenix]

is the belt incrasing all bonuses like fire,cold to attacks or int,str etc.

[merry bone]

yep - everything

[hollow phoenix]

Yes I'm checking the tempest bell

[shrewd jungle]

does bell even get bonuses to attacks ?

i dont think so

check on staff skill, an attack

[hollow phoenix]

should I check from somewhere else?

[shrewd jungle]

obviously

[merry bone]

your primary ability

[waxen jewel]

Does Cast on Shock scale its energy gain based on the damage of the shocking hits like Cast on Crit does? It sure does feel like it

[hollow phoenix]

it's tempest flurry**

[hollow phoenix]

I wrote wrong sorry

[merry bone]

good - check the dmg on tempest flurry

[hollow phoenix]

I sold the belt cuz it's not increased, it's 132k rn

[shrewd jungle]

its scaled by enemy threshold to that ailment, however i have no idea whats the multiplier

i didnt see the difference at all when testing this myself

[waxen jewel]

It's probably due to shock by itself having higher chance to occur based on damage

[shrewd jungle]

at some point i was even thinking of picking imposing pressence

to reduce enemy ailment tresholds

but i didnt have stats needed to use it

[keen marlin]

@dawn spirei mean after and putting distilled in it

[shrewd jungle]

bceause if anaything, this should be super visible right ?

especially if you can measure dps on bosses when autocasting

[pliant sleet]

right! got my other ring.

dam got too much lightnin resistance now

[keen marlin]

worth to vaal after distilled?

[shadow blade]

anyone have any good fire dps skills? for single target?

[waxen jewel]

Wait wtf is "Imposing Presence"? I searched everything

[shrewd jungle]

maybe i just dont remember the name

lemme check

[waxen jewel]

Point is, what is it XD

Passive tree, aura skill, buff?

[shrewd jungle]

overwhelming pressence

spirit skill

i really feel like that should be usefull for any cast on (shock/ignite/freeze)

[pliant sleet]

is this any good for monk?

or shall i look to buy a diff one

[shrewd jungle]

cast speed is trash for monk

[pliant sleet]

any recommendation for a good amulet?

[waxen jewel]

Shouldn't you think of reducing enemy Ailment Threshold in a similar way to "Increased damage taken", but for increased ailment taken?

It's kinda multiplicative with ailment chance

[shrewd jungle]

% evasion + % energy shield , all atributes

crit dmg

should be decent for leveling

[shrewd jungle]

yep, its like stacking exposure with resistance penetration
so we should see cast on shock energy gains if it works like we think it does

[lilac bramble]

hey, looking for some advice on what to upgrade on my sparkmage next

[shrewd jungle]

ffs use black background xddd

[waxen jewel]

I get your point, don't think this is good example. Are you aware that in PoE2 penetration doesn't "penetrate" below 0%?

[rich fjord]

Does dualstring bow counts as forking in regards to the passive skill tree?

[thorny token]

no

fork is fork

[rich fjord]

Thats a shame. Thanks

[hollow phoenix]

without belt

with belt

why that ingenuity utility belt not working

[pliant sleet]

my boots lol..

[waxen jewel]

There are (atleast) 5 mechanics for projectiles:

• Multiplication (single target takes damage from only 1 projectile)
• Piercing
• Forking
• Chaining
• Bouncing from walls

The multiplication is confusing because some skills can shotgun for whatever reason still

But added arrow doesn't double damage that's for sure

[thorny token]

you forgot split and also chaining from walls its just chain in the end anyway

[hollow phoenix]

anyone knows?

my rings:

[waxen jewel]

You can't chain to same target with extra projectiles either. IDK about aoe effects (like lightning rod) though

[shrewd jungle]

if projectile explodes at some point, it hits all targets, because explosion is no longer projectile

[pliant sleet]

what stats do i need on boots?

I was gonna go for 20% movement, atleast 20% fire and 20% cold.

[rich fjord]

Thanks. Seems i misunderstood the nature of dualstring bow. Why is is so high regarded then? Id honestly rather deal with 1 arrow

[pliant sleet]

would that work?

[waxen jewel]

Makes sense, I believe you

[shrewd jungle]

but usually only 1 projectile can explode on 1 target if hiting target is requirement for explosion and they also dont explode if chaining or piercing xddd

[waxen jewel]

For reasons better players than I are discussing here

[pliant sleet]

are these any good for 3 regal?

would get me close to 75% resist on both cold + fire then

nvm dont have enough INT

or lvl lol

[rich fjord]

Hmmm. Its a significant upgrade for lighting rods

[waxen jewel]

Is there any way to "force" some chaos resist somehow (maybe with essences). I'm tired of my 20% and seem to need more to beat trial scorpion

[shrewd jungle]

i tried playing bow, i didnt like it so i have 0 opinions on dualstrings. i only know about projectiles because i used mace projectile skill

[rich fjord]

So, the scattershot support gem doesnt count as forking either i take it?

[pliant sleet]

are there any boots that monk should get

[merry bone]

It is working - you dropped 50 Str from your belt when you swapped - which is being scaled by your Pillar and your passives

[shrewd jungle]

sounds right

[merry bone]

So the issue isnt that "ingenuity isnt working" - its that the % increase of Ingenuity is not as strong as the 50 STr you dropped from your belt due to other variables in the way you are scaling dmg

[shrewd jungle]

honestly, i never cared about penetration cuz i used curses

which in fact bring enemies below 0

[hushed glen]

Is a gemling tempest flurry build without howa possible? Which stats are must have on gloves if yes

[waxen jewel]

I just wanted to tell, because if you are PoE1 veteran, apparently in that game it worked differently

[shrewd jungle]

nah, i came here from d4 XD

[tidal copper]

How much DPS can a physical staff have? like 800?

[shrewd jungle]

my highest char in poe1 was 20 lvl

7 years ago

[keen marlin]

i have 69% chaos res, should i max or is good enough?

[merry bone]

Possible? Sure - but why? they are cheap

[waxen jewel]

I played poe1 twice to level 70 at like 2014 and 2016 lol

[thorny dagger]

quarterstaff? 1000+ is possible

1100 even

[pliant sleet]

worth 1 exalt?

[hushed glen]

For me its much 6div min on hardcore

[shrewd jungle]

i wouldnt

but im cheap man

[pliant sleet]

I need to upgrade these

Image

[shrewd jungle]

thats almost no upgrade

[waxen jewel]

Honestly just move on, I doubt anyone is buying so low quality boots

[pliant sleet]

i have max lightrning resist

need some cold/fire

[shrewd jungle]

you will find something better in time

[waxen jewel]

People in trade leagues level with uniques

[shrewd jungle]

you dont really need better gear if you're doing fine in campaign

[pliant sleet]

ok np

well im stuck

[tidal copper]

By the empress
I dont want to jinx it but my build is looking good with 400 DPS staff

[pliant sleet]

on chaos trials

and lot bosses are one shotting me now

[shrewd jungle]

well then, you dont need flat ress, you need ress+life

what level is blink ?

maybe you need blink as well

[pliant sleet]

its a skill?

[shrewd jungle]

its spirit skill

costs 60 spirit

[pliant sleet]

ahh

[waxen jewel]

@pliant sleet look at the shops in your town. Those are by far the best source of gear during campaign

[pliant sleet]

i have 60 spirit, but should i not use herald of ice?

[shrewd jungle]

you can add suport gem for 2 uses and another one for 30% cooldown recovery

herald doesnt work on boses

[waxen jewel]

Honestly, almost no ground loot can compete with the shear quantity of shop items

[merry bone]

Bl.ink is a level 14 spirit gem - cant use it at 40

[shrewd jungle]

what level is 14 gem level ?

[pliant sleet]

im at lvl 10 gems rn

[shrewd jungle]

no way you're 10

im 9 lvl skilgems at 32

[merry bone]

yea the gaps get bigger around there

14 is level 58

[keen marlin]

i have 69% chaos res, should i max or is good enough?

[shrewd jungle]

are you dying ?

[keen marlin]

yes

[shrewd jungle]

from chaos damage ?

[keen marlin]

idk thats the thing lol

[pliant sleet]

ok ima try continue with some other quest line

then go back to the chaos trial when i have nothing left to do

[keen marlin]

i think i die to fire dmg but mine is 75%

[shrewd jungle]

on my first character i did chaos trial around 48 level

because i was too weak

[pliant sleet]

whats a monk amulet

someone recommend before but i cant find it

[shrewd jungle]

then you need more life/ES

and dodge better

i hope you're not playing some stupid armor stacking warior

even wariors need to play ES

[keen marlin]

ok

save the rune socket for something else

[shrewd jungle]

hah, somethign else, like what 😄

if you play evasion or es or both, its better to just use iron rune

[keen marlin]

idk i m looking at the trade site what people putting

[shrewd jungle]

what do you play ?

[keen marlin]

oh

electric witchhunter

[shrewd jungle]

what stats you have on your armors ?

these ?

[keen marlin]

19% armor

where u get that

[shrewd jungle]

im asking what you wear

[keen marlin]

oh wait

grand regalia

[median knot]

is it intended to be able to equip 2 of the same skill?

[keen marlin]

iron rune make sense, i think

[shrewd jungle]

yes

you cant use 2x same suport though

and honestly i think this design is blasphemous

[median knot]

well i discovered a bug, if you try to have 2 rapidfire skills equiped one of them will no longer work

I thought about having a rapidfire with fork and chain for clearing and the other rapidfire for DPS bosses

[signal badge]

Is 600k DPS and 9k EHP decent for level 90?

[shrewd jungle]

dps in stat window or dps on boss

[signal badge]

In PoB

[shrewd jungle]

cant answer that

okay guys, im going to sleep is over midnight there

gn

[signal badge]

I feel like I'm squishy, but I can't seem to find a way to improve that.

[keen marlin]

which one is better for jewels

increase crossbow atk speed or just atk speeds?

cross can get to 4% while atk speed can reach more

[merry bone]

if you're using cross bow - whichever number is higher

[shadow blade]

can anyone familiar with minions help me?

[merry bone]

with what

[azure wyvern]

I am testing how to get the 600 STR and I am still missing something
I made it but I had to get so much more than Kripp...

[shadow blade]

these are considered 'minions' and should give 50 energy on 'death' (when they are gone) for my cast on minion death, but it seems they arent triggering its effect (comet - see image 2)

[shadow blade]

is this a bug or are raging spirits not considered minions?

[merry bone]

are they dying or despawning?

[shadow blade]

despawning

[merry bone]

that isnt dying is it?

[left ledge]

i know pob was talking about getting out soon. is it not out yet

[merry bone]

been out

[shadow blade]

"Minions whose durations have expired or are that are despawned by the player are considered to have died" this is what it says on the tool tip under the word 'killed'

[left ledge]

have the link for the download? i tried to find the fork but couldnt idk what the iossue is

[shadow blade]

ah, thats a bummer

[merry bone]

Just need to make your SRS die

[shadow blade]

my build lacks the single target, sadge

cant

they dont die they just despawn

no life pool

[merry bone]

well make them die

infernal legion - the amulet node for miniosn and fireflower

[shadow blade]

its impossible to

[merry bone]

Make them die

[shadow blade]

ooh

ill give that a shot, thanks ojn!

might be cooking

[merry bone]

also - low level SRS - level 4 if you can - fireflower dmg is flat - so less hp on SRS is better

[tulip fog]

i wonder what POB uses for mana cost scaling above level 20 on some skills, it says mine costs 161 mana per second....

there is just no feasible way for me to get that much mana regen

[merry bone]

then you'll need to get less gem levels

[wheat cape]

any ideas how to fix mana issues on deadeye explosive shot? i got a ring with mana leech but it doesnt seem to have any noticeable impact. i was thinking thiefs torment but then i lose quit a bit of stats

[merry bone]

swap out support gems for ones with lower multipliers - mana gained on kill

[wheat cape]

hmm wonder if i can annoint that

[merry bone]

didnt really find mana to be an issue on my ES Deadeye though - so maybe you need to do more dmg? Are you 1 shotting most packs?

[azure wyvern]

okey, I think I get why Kripp has so much STR
He probably got this ultra OP Jewel

[wheat cape]

yeah im one shotting packs but have to use mana pot after like 3 reloads

well more like 6-7 but still doesnt feel good

[merry bone]

mana pots are part of life in POe2 - just learn to embrace them - the game is designed intentionally that you should need to use it

[thorny token]

just click mana flask no

6-7 reloads is a lot of reloads

[wheat cape]

thats less than 10 seconds tho for that many reloads

[merry bone]

ES is single shot per reload basically (unless +bolt) - but still - the amount of mobs you shotgun blast and destroy - that flask should be filling quick

[wheat cape]

so mana pot every 10 seconds

[thorny token]

also +lvls arent very good for damage so if you are stacking bunch of them you can just do something else

[thorny token]

that is plenty

[atomic yacht]

How would i get PoB to factor in the Armour Explosion explosion in the dps

[thorny token]

cant atm

[atomic yacht]

Bruh

Ty

[shadow blade]

cst mana pot to something more accesible if an issue

like a side mouse button

[thorny token]

i have mine on q and e and skills on side buttons

[merry bone]

Q&E is the way!

[wheat cape]

i think im just spoiled from playing poison concoc and not having to worry about mana

[old ermine]

Can someone help explain to me how I can efficiently increase my mana regen? I just took mind over matter and eldritch battery and it doesn't feel too good at all. I keep running out of mana in encounters.

[merry bone]

Get more flat mana on gear

get more base ES on gear (which becomes mana)

you can als get mana regen on gear - but flat mana, scales all of the Mana regen you are already taking

[old ermine]

Would that be a noticeable difference with my mana regen per second? I know it would increase due to the % mana regen from passives

[merry bone]

yea should be noticeable - also, looks like still leveling? Mayube like near end of campaign?

[old ermine]

Yeah just about to finish act 3 final boss in cruel

[merry bone]

gotcha - how are your resistances?

[old ermine]

I've been mapping on my titan so I haven't had to deal with mana lol

They're ok, I can get them capped at 75% with some gear changes

[merry bone]

So you now take dmg to your mana - take less dmg, lose less mana

Mana tempest is also designed to suck your mana - so if you are using that - you'll need to make sure you have flask charges or a way to sort of let mana regen by using something that is net positive mana

[hybrid ocean]

Use a lower level SRS, give them infernal legion, feeding frenzy and equip Fireheart (take fire damage on igniting enemy) w/ Necromantic Talisman

Oh

Well, looks like I have once again failed to scroll down

[shadow blade]

whats srs sorry?

[old ermine]

Thanks!

[steady swift]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/6ib9x036 is this a good build to follow? I'm invoker monk build, and I'm on cruel act 2

[old ermine]

Summon Raging Sprits

[shadow blade]

ah

[winter vortex]

Whats the monster damage, hp, drop multiplier per person added in multiplayer?

[hybrid ocean]

Summon Ragin Spirits

[shadow blade]

perfect, ill give that a go

[hybrid ocean]

So exactly what hte other guy told you half an hour ago lol

[shadow blade]

np, answers all my questions twice, even better ;p

thought i was cooking but seems its fairly popular as an idea already sadly!

[astral badger]

if you annoint an amulet with a passive you're already using, it doesnt double up on it right?

[merry bone]

correct

[astral badger]

ty

[light dew]

how much impact has the amount of power charges on charged staff?

[merry bone]

pretty big since the buff is flat dmg per charge - and it caps at your max power charges

[light dew]

and is it worth?

[steady swift]

@topaz rover

[merry bone]

I probably wouldnt stack the charges unless I was also planning to use Falling Thunder or Flicker

[strong frost]

Is Flicker monk viable with a 5-10 div budget? Or is another monk build better?

[merry bone]

just play some version of ice strike, then when you have enough dmg to get nonstop herald chains going - flicker away

[surreal rock]

yeah right now the monk meta just seems to be about herald chaining

[light dew]

im currently to just go 3 herald 3 element with tempest flurry since it got the best elemental conversion (atleast rn)

or atleast it hits the hardest

[surreal rock]

i like ice strike too much

its a poor mans flicker

[steady swift]

can anyone help me with my monk build?

[merry bone]

yea so charges increase the flat dmg - and the duration. But dont impact the shockwave. So if you arent using a Power charge spender otherwise (that youd want to have more charges for) - i wouldnt spec into them as you can spend those points in better places than an additional 1-12 lightning dmg per charge

the power charge wheels have nodes based on "recently" spending charges - and if you are just going to Charged staff every 30 seconds -then you arent really benefitting from the "recently" If you are spending charges for Flicker/Falling then you are more likley to utilize those benefits

[smoky carbon]

I don't understand how the cooldown of blink works.

Without temporalis : 2.32 seconds

With a -2.82 seconds temporalis : 0.5 second.

How can you spam it then?

[light dew]

i see ty

[waxen jewel]

How are "+Maximum damage" calculated? Is it pre-conversion or post-conversion?

[plain cloud]

Sorry if it's a dumb question but does uh - % increased Elemental Damage with Attacks Soul Core on the weapon actually change the displayed DPS on the weapon? Or only the Flat ones do? - I'm trying to purchase a weapon on the trade site and wanted to make sure when comparing them

[merry bone]

only flat ones

[daring willow]

so ive been using this unique since like level 10 and im level 86 now, should i switch to this new piece😅

[merry bone]

yes?

[waxen jewel]

Yeah % increased Elemental Damage with Attacks is a tricky one. It is a global modifier. One way to remember that is to think why there's the part " with Attacks". If it were local modifier there would be no reason to state that, it would be obvious

[daring willow]

yeah i just picked it up for a couple exs, the spirit on the unique was nice to have but the es was starting to show when i tried t15 maps lmao

[smoky carbon]

Any idea on this matter?

[waxen jewel]

Patch notes said that: "Temporalis can reduce a cooldown of a skill to a minimum of 100ms". But that is 500ms

[smoky carbon]

GGG and the maths then? Nice...

[thin basin]

Does arc ever out dps comet on triggers stuff? Maybe cuz of cast speed/energy gains? Did someone do the math

[waxen jewel]

What are your cooldown reduction sources?

You need to calculate properly

Flat comes first

[smoky carbon]

if the min is 500ms then I was at the cap

[waxen jewel]

min was 100ms by patch notes, I think may have calculated wrong

Blink has base cooldown of 4.5s, so it's not that easy to bring it to 0.1s with -2.82 second temporalis

[smoky carbon]

2.32 - 2.82 = -0.5, so it should be 100ms and not 500

[merry bone]

but the flat is applied before the %

you are applying it after

[lethal pagoda]

how can i make charged staff last more than 26 seconds?

[thorny token]

temporalis applies before global cdr no

[smoky carbon]

Oh so Ingenuity support for example is taken into account but after the flat

[merry bone]

Get more power charges - add persistence support - but 26 seconds should be more than enough

[light dew]

how fast can you stack Unbound Avatar?
it doesn't feel like a bossing skill tbh

[lethal pagoda]

yeah i have persistance

something like this right?

[merry bone]

you dont use frenzy charges....

[lethal pagoda]

but i'm using resonance

[unreal jackal]

Hi all! Can anyone help me pls? How many flat cold do u need on bow to insta freeze mobs? (I have against the darkness +2% and essence of the mountain, pressure points/kite runner on board)

[merry bone]

you misunderstand how that works. You gain power charges instead of frenzy charges. Frenzy charges dont BECOME power charges

[lethal pagoda]

oh ok

[waxen jewel]

(4.5 - 2.82) / (1.0 + 0.94) = 0.866 cooldown

[lethal pagoda]

good thing i didnt pick fervour then lol

[waxen jewel]

Maybe you have arcane surge too or something

[smoky carbon]

Do you by any chance know if there are some spreadsheet existing to calculate how many cdr you need to make it work? I had almost none on tree, a 5% jewel and the support gem for the 30%

[keen marlin]

worth to 20% lightning mod?

idk what they do but i m using these two

[merry bone]

catalysts are cheap as fuck - you should catalyst everything

[waxen jewel]

I can give you a equation and you can plug it into wolframalpha

[keen marlin]

@merry boneoh people catalyst i tho we use essence

[smoky carbon]

I don't know that wolf but I can probably google it.

[keen marlin]

and what they actually do? i just made it to 1% and nothing change lol

[waxen jewel]

It does maths

[smoky carbon]

yes cause 1% you may not see it, but 10% of 10-20 will be visible, and 20% even more. Catalyst are cheap, just all in 🙂

[keen marlin]

k and what they actually do? like increase lightning res and dmg?

[cobalt berry]

Sorry for the dumb question but is there guides specifically for HC?

[merry bone]

lightning catalyst would increase all lightning mods on the ring

[smoky carbon]

For example if you take your +16% elemental all resistances, +20% catalyst will turn it into 19 (I think?)

[keen marlin]

oh

should i also do it in amulet that dont have any lightning?

[smoky carbon]

There are a lot of catalyst, some for attributes, life, attack, defenses, etc

[keen marlin]

this one

[smoky carbon]

for this one it could be worth using the "carapace catalyst", it should buff the evasion and the energy shield
Or attributes

[tiny badge]

any archmage/coc hexblast build recommendations? or does anyone know if it's even viable? wondering how to go about getting the extra 100ish spirit i need, i'm assuming i need to use a sceptre, but that would take away 1 level from my hexblast since you can't get +1 to all spell skills on a sceptre. just got my last ascendency so now my base crit is way up so i figured coc was more viable for me now. but i am wondering if my lowered DPS output from switch from a focus to a sceptre might make it not worth?

[keen marlin]

ok ty

[smoky carbon]

I'm not saying no to that formula btw, thanks 🙂

[merry bone]

catapace for sure - 3 defence mods there

[keen marlin]

how abouot belt?

[smoky carbon]

You can't on belt

[keen marlin]

oh

[smoky carbon]

belts are really meh for now in poe2. It's either resist stacking, headhunter or ingenuity. No fancy options

[keen marlin]

ok ty

[merry bone]

So 50% more options than POE1 - where its just Mageblood or Headhunter then 🙂

[smoky carbon]

Not wrong haha

[waxen jewel]

(4.5 - temporalis_roll) / (1.0 + increased_cooldown_recovery * (1.0 + 0.2 * increased_arcane_surge_effectiveness)) = 0.1

[smoky carbon]

Tho we had some damages on it, jewels and that stuff

[waxen jewel]

increased_cooldown_recovery is just all your cooldown recovery rate added up and divided by 100

plug in your temporalis_roll and get shit out

[smoky carbon]

4.5 seems a bit high, I see mine (not equipped), at 3.6 🤔

[waxen jewel]

4.5 is just the base cooldown of blink

Also I made mistake, fixed one: (4.5 - temporalis_roll) / (1.0 + increased_cooldown_recovery * (1.0 + 0.2 * (1.0 + increased_arcane_surge_effectiveness))) = 0.1

https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=solve+(4.5+-+2.82)+%2F+(1.0+%2B+x+*+(1.0+%2B+0.2+*+(1.0+%2B+y)))+<%3D+0.1

[smoky carbon]

"increased_arcane_surge_effectiveness" if I'm not using that I should just get rid of that no ?

[waxen jewel]

Okay that's not too useful, put it just to 0

[muted dagger]

Is there anything special I need to do to make the lightning and cold monk build? I'm using herald of ice, herald of lightning, and combat frenzy for my spirit stuff. And ice strike as my main ability, I also got that legendary ring, is there anything else I'd need? I'm only on act 1 cruel rn

[regal turtle]

damn was wondering why my POB was so high, didn't realize it had supercritical thinking it was 100% more crit damage instead of increased

[waxen jewel]

https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=solve+(4.5+-+2.82)+%2F+(1.0+%2B+x+*+(1.0+%2B+0.2+*+(1.0+%2B+0)))+<%3D+0.1

Which gives x >= 13.16 which is pretty impossible. That is 1416% cooldown recovery rate

[merry bone]

Just use the proper supports on the heralds. Lightning Herald gets Freeze supports. Ice gets More area and shock supports

[smoky carbon]

yeah so need a bigger temporalis

[waxen jewel]

You do have regular arcane surge active right?

[muted dagger]

Wouldnt the lightning get lightning support?

[merry bone]

Nope - thats where people screw itup

[smoky carbon]

Nope

[merry bone]

You want the lightning strikes from your Herald of Lightning to do cold dmg and freeze targets, so it triggers your herald of ice

[muted dagger]

Ohhhh that makes Lot of sense

Thank u!

[royal hamlet]

Can I have both mods?

[smoky carbon]

yep

[waxen jewel]

Umm I'm tripping again

Arcane surge has nothing to do with cooldowns

it's just 10% cast time

and 20% mana regen

[royal hamlet]

on trading page, state filter is separated tho ?

[smoky carbon]

for context, I'm playing deadeye lightning arrow, just wanna zoom zoom on maps

So I have almost 0% cdr, except the quality on the gem and ingenuity support

[waxen jewel]

Even with -4.2 temporalis, you still need 200% cooldown recovery rate elsewhere, which borders impossible

[smoky carbon]

I really see 3.6 and not 4.5 base cooldown tho

Not sure if poe2db is just wrong or not but that's a huge difference 🤔

even with a character lvl 7, so it's not something in my tree or anything

[merry bone]

Yea looks like it scales with levels. Just checked a level 14 - 3.8 seconds. Checked a level 17 - 3.7 seconds

[ionic karma]

Is this Quarter staff worth 15 divs?

It Looks great

But at the same time lacking 3 possibilities

And it’s quite Pricey

[rain bone]

#price-check📉

[ionic karma]

They take too long

I want it for myself

Just wondering if it’s any good

[rain bone]

it's definitely good, if that's the question.

whether it's 15 divs good is a pc

[waxen jewel]

Open the arrow right to the skill, it gives more info about the spell. That's not the base cooldown time, it calculates your cooldown recovery rate from skill tree too

[merry bone]

Given that Crit dmg bonus on weapons is a global modifier and then scales with your tree - i wouldnt look at a staff without it personally. No added base crit - a shitty stun build up mod - and +7 levels that you probably cant afford the mana cost on

[smoky carbon]

as Ojintoast noticed, the level of the gem changes the cooldown

[waxen jewel]

Wtf

Okay, that's new

[teal pollen]

Right i need some help, this is my Quaterstaff. I know phys dps doesn't include elemental damage, but I can buy a new staff that has 750+dps that doesn't have elemental damage or the crit, it has attack speed. its 250 more dps that i currenrly have is that worth? or is my ice invoker build going to fall off?

[waxen jewel]

I'm dumb

[rain bone]

interesting that poe2db doesn't mention that. maybe it's changed recently and they haven't updated their data yet?

[waxen jewel]

Yeah exactly, poe2db is very trustworthy usually and my source here too

But I checked my blink in my bank and it has 3.8 cooldown rate at level 14

[rain bone]

would be nice if they said what game version their info was from

[smoky carbon]

So if the game isn't lying (which is possible, poe tooltips...)
With 5% jewel, 10% reduced from quality and ingenuity support, that would give that

[waxen jewel]

Yeah that seems way feasible already

[smoky carbon]

and probably even a bit less with a 20 spirit skill gem, but still didn't see any at 500+ hours lol

[waxen jewel]

That formula is bit fucked up, lol let me give you another

Or just remove the part between the 0.45 and <=

[rain bone]

that 1+0 in the denominator lmao

[waxen jewel]

I thought arcane surge reduced cooldowns by 1.2

and the 1.0 + 0 was about arcane surge effectiveness don't laugh

:D

[keen marlin]

is there a max evasion?

[smoky carbon]

like that? (removed the 5% jewel to see)

[waxen jewel]

And if you tweak the 0.40 number there (it represents 40% cooldown recovery rate, which is easy to get higher)

[smoky carbon]

3.46, mb

[waxen jewel]

1 gem gives 30% already. And skill tree has about 100% if you really go for it

[ionic karma]

Seems to be a good price

Checked the similar stats

I see it going for 25 divs +

[smoky carbon]

I can't go for it on tree, 10% from 20% quality on blink + 30% from ingenuity support is all I can get. So 130 divines for -3.6 seconds it is

[ionic karma]

And it’s arguably worse ones

Well I got him down too in price

[waxen jewel]

Okay so it's still bit wrong

[ionic karma]

420 Phys damage and 100% extra elemental

I’ll pick the piece up and corrupt it

[waxen jewel]

Ohh, nvm sorry

it isn't

[ionic karma]

No gamble no fun

[waxen jewel]

There's possibility to vaal for 3% quality lmao

[smoky carbon]

No need to say that I obviously don't have 130 divines 😄 (yet)

[ionic karma]

Could be 220% phys too

Or 125% elemental

🤪

[rain bone]

as they say, vaal or no baals

[ionic karma]

Exactly

And maybe a randomiser on it too 🤣

Leech is good right

On a Quarter staff

Leech is basically Life steal right

[smoky carbon]

Well thanks for the help, I'll see in some days if the maths were good 😄

[ionic karma]

This is my current staff

This one is much better right

I run a herald of ice / herald of thunder build

So I rely on elemental kinda

[rain bone]

life leech yeah, mana leech gives you some mana regen over time instead

[ionic karma]

My weapon doesn’t seem too bad Either tbh

But I notice it becoming weaker

I’m atm at Tier 15 maps

[teal pollen]

really need some help here been struggling with this for a while

[rain bone]

the lack of attack speed compared to your current weapon will feel kinda bad btw

going down to 1.4 from 1.51

unless you have tons of attack speed from passives

[ionic karma]

I got a lot of speed

Hand of wisdom

Ah wait no

Yes

I got them

I got 200 dex

[rain bone]

might be fine with howa

[hushed crypt]

is this worth trading for or could i find something better

[rain bone]

i mean as far as damage goes it will be fine, but it might feel a bit bad to lose attack speed

[ionic karma]

I kinda

Fucked it up anyways

Took the speed off accidentally

Put a Phys dmg on it

[merry bone]

I dont feel like its worth 1 div

[uncut patrol]

Can anyone tell me why Rattling Sceptre (Skele warrior minions) is prefered over Omen Sceptre(Discipline) for Infernalist/Minion builds?

[merry bone]

the skeleton warriors are free (no spirit)

[hushed crypt]

ok thanks

[merry bone]

You can then use them to do thinks like Armour break - or cull or blind

or just use them for your offering

[keen marlin]

what is max evasion?

[uncut patrol]

but the overall addition buff u get from disciplines clearly outweighs benefit u get over 2 free skele warriors?

[merry bone]

depends on how you support your warriors and what you might need from them

[uncut patrol]

wait is it 2 free skele warriors or it depends on the sceptre's level? i forgot

[merry bone]

2 free

[merry bone]

Wiki answers these questions very easily.

[smoky carbon]

2 free, the level will determine the amount of support socket

[merry bone]

Currently my warriors do a ton of armour break - which means my snipers basic attack isnt dealing with as much armour. I had them doing Blind/Maim - but actually moved that to SRS just recently (SRS so survivability a bit rough)

[smoky carbon]

higher level ones are also indeed tankier etc

[uncut patrol]

Rattling sceptres do not get + X amount to Spirits prefix right?

[merry bone]

huh?

[smoky carbon]

none do, it's %increased spirit, prefix, available on all sceptres

[uncut patrol]

Omen sceptres do mate

[smoky carbon]

Omen get %increased, not flat increase 🤔 (just like the others)

[uncut patrol]

Yes correct my bad

[merry bone]

Not even sure why youd want discipline - its based on the miniosn mana pool - and i dont even know how much mana any of them have, or if you can scale it

[smoky carbon]

I wonder if I just should sell my minion build items. Got some really nice items but not playing it at all lately, clear is stupidly bad compared to my ranger (indeed)

[merry bone]

Malice maybe if you are running crit minions ... but discpline is an odd choice

[uncut patrol]

gimme mate

[smoky carbon]

It's good but not THAT good

[merry bone]

only explored this much of the map - already less than 200 monsters (since rares revealed) - but of that <200 remaining, 10 are rares.

[smoky carbon]

I think my max was like 25 rares on stone citadel, was really fun xD

[ionic karma]

Hmm this one seems pretty good

I assume this is a good map clearing staff?

1,77 speed + my Wishdom Hands

Is a very quick wiping staff

Reckon it’s even better than this one?

[dawn spire]

Equip them both and see what gives more dps

[ionic karma]

I don’t got it yet

[dawn spire]

Ah

[ionic karma]

I’m looking to buy one

This one I’ve got atm but I need the bloody element damage

My staff ain’t even bad

But I need the extra

[dawn spire]

100% increased ele damage isn't all that much in the grand scheme of things

[ionic karma]

Running double heralds

[smoky carbon]

increased elemental damage on staff for monk is not that bad at all

[ionic karma]

I rely on this to boost off

And with my current staff I don’t deal enough damage I feel like

[smoky carbon]

but the +X level of skills is a trap, you'll be doomed with mana

[ionic karma]

I’m starting to struggle with T15 maps

[dawn spire]

It's not bad, but it's not the stat that is the be-all end-all on a weapon

[ionic karma]

I’m already doomed

[smoky carbon]

you should get rid of it, that's not where your damages come from

[ionic karma]

I run out of mana so fucking fast

[dawn spire]

It lumps in with your increased attack, cold, lightning, etc damage

[ionic karma]

My current staff is fine with mana

The +7 to skills will props bite me

[smoky carbon]

you won't be able to even play with a + skills on staff

you've been warned xD

[ionic karma]

Got a +6 atm

Been pretty decent

[smoky carbon]

should remove it and aim for attack speed and crit instead

[ionic karma]

I got

421% Crit hit on my Herald of ice

[dawn spire]

I think the 7 div staff is about the same dps as the 15 div one

But it's way faster

[ionic karma]

Got a 93 build up

[ionic karma]

Afraid of my mana lmao

But I’m getting that one

Gonna gamble with it

[dawn spire]

Yeah, it's 1.77 aps compared to your current 1.51. And it has +1 more level

[smoky carbon]

If you don't play thief torment, you shouldn't take a staff with + skills on it, it's kinda counter-productive

[dawn spire]

So you're gonna be spending about 16% more mana per second just from the speed, then even more from the level

[keen marlin]

if i corrupt this will i get extra attribute?

[smoky carbon]

there is no way to predict what it'll do. Can add a line, add enchant, change a line, remove a line, do nothing

[dawn spire]

Vaaling an item will never guarantee anything aside from a corrupted item.

[ionic karma]

Idk in that case

[somber loom]

What is the good amount of resistance to aim for?

[ionic karma]

The +7 is bad

It Shouldove been 6

And it was great

[dawn spire]

75% ele and as much chaos as you can fit

[keen marlin]

ok i will try it when i get extra

[smoky carbon]

75% all, 75% on cold lightning fire is a must have (73 will do but you see the idea), the more chaos the better

[ionic karma]

My current staff works

But just the herald of ice

It doesn’t go off enough

[somber loom]

How do you even get that high?

[merry bone]

what level are you?

[ionic karma]

I got only 3000 shield

6000 with grim

It’s quite low

[dawn spire]

https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1328202289755983932

[smoky carbon]

3 resist on helmet, boots, belt, rings etc (or double to start with)

[somber loom]

I'm barely entered endgame, and have -15% lightning, -9% cold, and +8% fire

[merry bone]

ooof my god

[ionic karma]

I though I had bad

[somber loom]

yeah, I was like 75%, really? I have a lot to work on it seems

[ionic karma]

75% is quite easy to get

[smoky carbon]

the problem is fitting the resist AND the other things haha

[merry bone]

You can get ALOT of res on Rings - you have an implicit and triple suffixes

[somber loom]

Chaos 28% tho, so that's something I guess

[ionic karma]

My wifes Build cost me so much money. Man

She is running Sorcer

220 divs so far

😭

[smoky carbon]

could've stop here "my wife cost me so much money" is true no matter what comes next xD

[ionic karma]

My build is uh

20 div

But it works good

Sorcer is just way more expensive

Monk is quite cheap

[dawn spire]

You have basically 405% total res to get. I think you get +20% all from the acts, so just 345% from gear and stuff. Runes can give you an easy 60% so now you're at 285%. You have 8 slots left with helm, chest, gloves, boots, 2 rings, amulet, and belt. So that means you just need an average of 35% total res on each piece to hit max res. It's actually ludicrously easy.

[ionic karma]

400% Crit hit with Herald of ice is quite good I reckon tho

Got 420 with Thunder

[somber loom]

I see, I never prioritize resistance. I usually go with which one gives better evasion when it came to armors

[dawn spire]

Yeah you should read that guide I linked earlier

[ionic karma]

I just took Acrobatics

I got 0 Evasion due to my new build

So went for that

It can Evade all hits

[dawn spire]

???

[ionic karma]

It’s a Nuke Build

[dawn spire]

I think you woefully misunderstood that keystone

[ionic karma]

Did I

Lmao

[dawn spire]

If you have no evasion, acrobatics does nothing

It lets evasion ALSO apply to slams/aoes

[ionic karma]

Says 70 less evasion

[dawn spire]

Yes
