[ionic karma]

Can evade all hits I misunderstood it then

I got 0 evasion in that case lmao

[dawn spire]

It says CAN evade all hits

If your evasion allows you to

[ionic karma]

Ahhh

Good to know

Though I was a smart ass

Lmao

[dawn spire]

It basically gives you way less chance to evade, but you can evade all hits instead of just strikes/projectiles

[ionic karma]

https://youtu.be/322Nudp8h1Q?si=52-1Wt7cD8DLTc6r

I’m running his build

It’s quite good just no evasion

[dawn spire]

It's a waste of a passive point lmao

[ionic karma]

It’s fully relying on me to kill

[ionic karma]

Lemme use it to a good use 🤣

[dawn spire]

The best way to use it is to stack insane evasion and evade loads of stuff

Or get your point back

[ionic karma]

Yea I sadly

Can’t get evasion

This build is a 0 evasion build

It relies on pure shield and grim

[dawn spire]

Then you just got +1 passive point (:

[ionic karma]

Thank you

[somber loom]

@dawn spire just finished reading the stuff. Thanks! I really focused too much on evasion and stats

[smoky carbon]

how to endgame ; resist 75%, then damages, cause when you dead you do no damages 😛

[willow steppe]

Guys why while i want to set weapon set 1 skills into here (photo), marked skill is taking 1 normal skill point and 1 weapon set point ? others i could put normally no problem what am i missing

[ionic karma]

@dawn spire base off ur advice lad

Worth the chance or not

Change

I’m afraid of my mana honestly

I already run only a 1000

My mana potion refills a lot

And regains due to kills

And I play scuff so using Back paddles

Is no problemo

[smoky carbon]

If you want a big change on dps side, look for a big % increased phys damage and flat adds phys damage, attack speed and crit chance. The + level of the skill isn't really recommanded for monk

[ionic karma]

I always see every build recommending the +6

That’s the reason I though it’s a must

[smoky carbon]

Weird ^^

[ionic karma]

Mana problems with a monk are known

I deal atm 23,000 Dps

I’m level 84

[smoky carbon]

I mean if you can sustain it (on bosses mainly, mapping shouldn't be an issue with flask), cool, but if you struggle, not having it isn't an issue at all on the damage side

Got 2 friends playing monk, none took a staff with + skills due to mana cost

[ionic karma]

Hmm I’ll look into it

[smoky carbon]

and they have like 250k dps in tooltip or so

endgame gear indeed, but no + skills

[ionic karma]

I think they level 100 tho right

[smoky carbon]

96 IIRC

[ionic karma]

Yea

84 and 96 is a huge one

I think my weapon should carry me through T15 maps no?

It’s my HP maybe in that case

I got 3000 shield

I got no Health just pure shield / The option to heal

6000 with the grim

[smoky carbon]

I know that monk chaos innoculation full energy shield is brokenly stupid

[ionic karma]

I struggle with sustaining

[ionic karma]

Using that

[merry bone]

eternal youth?

[ionic karma]

But I think I gotta hunt gear

[smoky carbon]

Meditate

[ionic karma]

Polc ring I could delete too

[smoky carbon]

it's broken too with the appropriate weapon set skill tree

[ionic karma]

It became useless

I’ll try to change my gear abit

Seems like I should be around 12,000

With Grim included so 6

It’s still double

[smoky carbon]

With endgame gear and levels yeah

[ionic karma]

Cuz this Gear piece

Is honestly not realistic to get

It’s impossible as good as

Would go for like 50 divs

[willow steppe]

Guys why while i want to set weapon set 1 skill into tree, skill is taking 1 normal skill point and 1 weapon set point at the same time? others i could put normally no problem what am i missing and it took skill point or weapon set point depends what i wanted, please help

[static plinth]

You need skill points to allocate weapon set points

They dont have a dedicated pool, you split a normal point in half

[tidal copper]

best ascendancy for flicker strike?

[willow steppe]

what do u mean by spliting normal point in half

[static plinth]

You spend 1 normal point and can then assign 1 point to each weapon set

[jagged thunder]

how to 6-link skills from unique weapons?

[viral crag]

Anyone got any idea what I could do with a constant stream of power charges as chaos dot?
I mean always capped, free of charge.
Best ideas I've got are a unique, the support that consumes charges for crit on a spell, and Charge Infusion if I wanted to give up a spell slot and some spirit.
Like I'm not even concerned with if it's good, just what is mechanically possible without going too far from the int/dex side of the tree.

[open summit]

Hello, may I get a build advice?

heres the POB

I'm on a damage plateau between 3 choices:
Against the Darkness with 3% cold
Quiver with cold damage, +2 skill, dex, proj speed, speed
Pure phys bow with 450+ dps

Playing a herald build, got cold rolled on bow and quiver atm, don't know if the Against the darkness alone will be enough to keep the Herald of Ice proc'ing. Made my tree as pure damage as a I could, based on the tooltips. There are some 4 - 6 extra points to redistribute.
Here is the pob code, I'd appreciate a lot a little guidance.

Lvl 92 Deadeye

[hybrid ocean]

I've got a meme build idea cooking

Has anyone experimented on the specifics of how Asphyxia's Wrath works?

I'm considering comboing it with stormweaver for double chill, wondering if I can expect it to be multiplicative with itself and/or with shock

[viral crag]

Can you share the tooltip for "Chill Magnitude"?

[grand isle]

hey! what class is a great and fun for an noobie like mne? 🙂

[viral crag]

Might want to try #2┃new-player-in-campaign-help , could have a discussion with people about what you like and what they're playing 🙂

[weary atlas]

PoB Experts - I’m looking for an easy way to add items from the trade site into PoB2 to compare them and see if they’re actual upgrades for my build. Does anyone know of a simple method to do this?

[static plinth]

All additive

Its % Increased damage taken

[viral crag]

Same way as poe

[static plinth]

You can Resonance them into Endurance charges

If you figure out something lmk im in the same boat

[viral crag]

Unless somebody else has something cute, I'm just shoving potential into Hexblast and calling it a day.
(Meant to @ the other message lol)

[orchid swift]

ya'll think this is worth 60 div ?

[tidal copper]

you can freeze things and combat frenzy next to the spaghetti wheel you have resonance

[viral crag]

Nah, I don't use a quarterstaff 😦
( #price-check📉 )

[tidal copper]

3 dont quote me though

[hybrid ocean]

.

@viral crag

Replies with files don't work on my mobile discord for some reason

[viral crag]

@static plinth I'm seeing like 1 skill (melee) and 1 unique that utilize endurance charges. Did you see anything else?

[hybrid ocean]

There's a node that heals you by consuming one, and then there's the charge spirit gem ghat gives you global defences for having one

[viral crag]

Weird, didn't show up when I searched endurance. Had looked at it for power

[hybrid ocean]

This is the part that doesn't seem 100% obvious to me

[viral crag]

Charge Infusion probably looking like the best payoff we can really reach as casters.

[hybrid ocean]

Well, time to figure out if an extra 70% vuln additive with shock is worth the loss of a wand + focus, those being mostly additive with the tree

[static plinth]

Charge Infusion

[static plinth]

yeah

[viral crag]

It is the weirdest thing to me. We get so many routes to power charges, and not really much payoff for them yet.

[static plinth]

I mean, plenty of payoff. Its just ALL crit

Just, so much crit

[tidal copper]

Flicker strike

[viral crag]

"We" casters 😦

[keen marlin]

which class use staff with lightning?

i got a nice wep

[static plinth]

Whats the melee skill though?

[viral crag]

Oh, some thing that's basically melee barrage. Didn't look too long.

Empower next attack, consume endurance to empower additional attacks.

[static plinth]

Oh Infernal Cry

[grand girder]

Hello guys! Ok, so... I've been using this helmet for a very long time on my Invoker. I'm now at level 82 and I'm resistance capped on everything except Chaos.

My question to you is; What stats do I idéally want on a helmet for an Invoker(?) that uses Ice Strike as main damage? Not sure if stats on helmets can affect Ice Strike or if it matters, but I thought I'd mention it anyway.

P.S My damage is "ok-ish" but I am SO squishy 😦

[orchid swift]

high evasion rating (mine has 99%) atm and resistances

[merry bone]

Are you using?

[grand girder]

I am not.

How the hell have I missed that...?

[merry bone]

are you pure evasion? Hybrid Life/ES? CI?

[grand girder]

I tried to get a little bit of everything. 2k health, 1,2k ES(with the helmet and 300 without the helmet) and 41% Evasion.

[merry bone]

41% with Acrobatics? Or without?

[grand girder]

without

[merry bone]

well thats why you're squishy - you have no defenses

[grand girder]

So I ought to take Acrobatics then?

[merry bone]

You ought to get a real amount of evasion first

[grand girder]

Ok fair enough. What % is somewhat decent for my level?

[merry bone]

80+ if you dont ahve acro

[static plinth]

Idk how you end up with both shitty ES and shitty Evasion even with Disdain

[merry bone]

Invoker wants BIG Evasion Chest

[static plinth]

Are you invoker with the spirit node?

[grand girder]

Because in all honesty I'm not following a guide and on top of that I don't know what I'm doing. Which is why I ask for help here.

[static plinth]

Do you have any EV or ES nodes on the tree?

[grand girder]

A few yes but not much.

[static plinth]

Id say minimum you want a combined 100% of each

200% if you can (and then take acrobatics if thats Evasion)

[merry bone]

100 of each? Thats like 3 evasion notables. Thats literally nothing with how much they have available to them

[static plinth]

Idk i havent looked at how strong the hybrid nodes are

I guess most pure ES ones are in the 40%s

[rose tusk]

if you use scattershot does each projectile have a separate crit chance?

[timid smelt]

Someone help me understand my confusion. Spend 5 divs on the item to the right since it looked like a clear upgrade. Standard stormweaver spark crit build with MoM, EB, CI.

Equipping the right side item drops my DPS by a bit. Is cast speed really that beneficial?
Even so, despite losing the cast speed, the damage per use is lower too.

[atomic halo]

no its by skill use not projectile

[atomic halo]

EB?

huh

i guess cast speed is just that good

you lose a 101% inc spell damage roll

that's why

thats why the dps drops, that's why the dmg per hit is lower

[static plinth]

Yeah thats a fat chunk of spell damage you lost

[sinful drift]

is anyone able to help me with my monk by chance? lvl 32 on the dread but have been feeling like i do absolutely no damage the whole way throguh this, got to boss and it feels like im hitting a sponge

[merry bone]

chances are - its because you do. If you arent opposed to trading with other people - a quick weapon upgrade could do the trick. Or check your vendors look for some upgrades and craft them yourself

[sinful drift]

yea thats where im lost.. no vendor offers higher then what ive got and im not sure where to go from here

passives were goin based off a build guide as i wanted a rough layout for my attempt

[potent trout]

does pathfinder anti slow mechanic ignore those slowdown bubbles? (maybe -atkspeed debuff)

[merry bone]

also make sure youve upgraded your primary skill gems if youve found higher level uncuts

[ornate bramble]

is it possible to set invoker ascendancy poinst in pob?

[sinful drift]

all of my main skills sit at level 8 except my bell which is 7

support skills ive YET to see a lvl 2 gem which amazes me

did all the side quests and it just seems like im sluggin behind somehow, seen others with charged staff etc by this point and im out here gettin slaughtered 😂

[merry bone]

charged staff isnt a support gem

but its level 9 which is level 31 required - so you should start seeing them soon

Do a couple clears of a previous zone - preferably with a boss in it, and farm a little bit of additional currency to further craft your items - or hit the trade site

[sinful drift]

yea ik its a skill gem it was just an example, but thats good to know at least. thought my rng was just that horrible

[merry bone]

#1308715317375270952 first thread is about improving gear during campaign

[sinful drift]

ill take a look, see if my luck turns around

appreciate the help

[supple jay]

Does demon form barrier invo stitch gloves build still work after the patch

I heard the 100ms change affected it but idk by how much

[merry bone]

alternatively - if youve got 1 exalt - just whisper one of these people - and then go to town

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Standard/M4L0jgRFJ

[timid smelt]

The literal fact that I missed the one item having 101% increased spell damage is nuts.

For spark crit builds, what crist chance % are you aiming for?

[topaz fog]

what's the most EZ mode build for SSF right now? like dad gamer build lol

[tranquil steeple]

it would stack with shock, but not multiplicative, they are both the same increase "% damage taken" so it'd be like 20% chill 20% shock = 40% increase

in regards to multiple chills idk how it'd work

[plucky fern]

Probably Infernalist Minions of some kind, this guide is for the arsonists. I did this at launch and its a great build! you can tweak it and stuff but this is a good jumping off point. The skeletons protect you a lot so its ez mode and you can stack a ton of MF because of that https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/bombarding-minions-infernalist-build-guide#gearing-header

[merry bone]

heavily discourage you playing SSF then. Trade solves so many issues related to time constraints - and a lack of deterministic crafting in SSF means your only option is heavy time investment to find gear on the ground thats good

[topaz fog]

thanks I hate trade though so I always play SSF

[tranquil steeple]

the first point of a specific barrier drains from your overall point still, from 24 to 7 you had weapon set 2 already applied which means those points were already spent

it doesnt give you more points

well the books do

but the weapon set doesnt

its just a final 24 points that can go either direction

[steady swift]

Could anyone who is a good monk build help me?

[rough hill]

How do I properly use Weighted Sums on Trade to get stats I want?

[orchid swift]

this good enough for tier 15+ ?

[cold wraith]

Does Lightning Rod node work with Controlled Destruction support gem?

[tranquil steeple]

lol u know it is this not a flex channel 😭

does that say 600?

get out of here

[rough hill]

That makes some sense but I'm confused in so far as, in your example, what does that minimal mean? All of the stats add up to 34 total resistance?

[orchid swift]

aint a flex man hands down, still pretty new too POE

[tranquil steeple]

you give each point of a stat a weight, the minimum weight your looking for is 34

each point of res has a vlaue

and so it will display items with that minimum value

[merry bone]

At the top of the weighted sum - the minimum is the total of all the weights. Since i assigned each res a different weighting (you dont need to) - it will add the resistance an item has - apply the weightings to the different types - and provide a SUM - the sum must be in excess of 34 to show up in my search results

[tranquil steeple]

items with weird values like crit chance going to a max of 5% need higher values

[rough hill]

So you mean then, that it will only show 34% of each resistance, with 3 having priority over 2, over 1? Or that the total will be over 34%, favoring sum 3, then 2, then 1?

[merry bone]

I generally suggest doing weighted sums of similar modifiers - so like resistances - but dont try and mix in Damage to Attacks. If you want damage to attacks also - run it as a separate weighted sum in the same search

[merry bone]

NOpe - its a weighted sum.

[rough hill]

That's the part I'm too stupid to understand. lol.

[merry bone]

So because I assigned Cold res as a weight of 2 - this item has 32 Cold Res - and as such has a SUM of 64

[spring ferry]

Is biting frost support gem work on herald of ice?

Herald of ice -> shatter frozen enemies (it said cannot freeze enemies)

Biting frost -> consume freeze to deal 50% more dmg

[merry bone]

I gave fire res 3.... 3x51 + 39 x 2 = 231

[crisp star]

anyone know of a way to generate burning ground that doesn't require the boots?

[merry bone]

oh shit - its auto doing the all res - thats actually awesome

[crisp star]

and not using burning inscription

[rough hill]

But I mean, does that mean the minimal then, needs to be the total amount of all stats you look for? As in, you wanted 51 Fire here and 39 cold. So with those numbers, did you have to search for 231? Meaning when I search for things, I just take the value I want, multiple it by the weight, add it all up and put that as the minimal for the search?

[merry bone]

Stop overcomplicating it

[rough hill]

Well clearly I'm not understanding it. So I'm not sure what I'm overcomplicated. xD

[merry bone]

You have stats - You enter the stats you want. You assign them your own personal weighting - maybe you need more cold than Fire - so its weighted higher.

[tranquil steeple]

dont think there is one rn

[merry bone]

Then you set the minimum TOTAL of Weightings....

So lets say im playing an attribute stacker - want a ring - could use some res - but stats are obviously really important to me. So i want to see what i can get.

[tranquil steeple]

the value in that is tied to each point increment of that stat, so if strenght has 2 value, 10 strength = 20 weight

[merry bone]

The sum of this is 70. 26 Intelligence x2 = 52, and 18 Explicit Cold Res = 70.

Since I did not add weightings for Implicits - the implicit Cold isnt counted here

[atomic halo]

As in, you wanted 51 Fire here and 39 cold
if you want that, just look for 51 fire and 39 cold with regular filters.

[merry bone]

You can also add that condition as an AND filter alongside the weighted.

[atomic halo]

the point of weighted sum is when your goal is more vague than "i need exactly this amount of res"

[merry bone]

Lets say I NEED it to have 27 Lightning minimum I can do that.

[atomic halo]

when you just a ton of good stats you use it

[rough hill]

I guess where I'm confused is, I've searched for say, resistances before, given them value of 3, 2, 1, then searched, clicked, "Sum" and then the top item was missing one or 2 of the resistances. So then I gave it a minimal and no matter what I did, stats would be missing. Then I took it out of weighted and put it in the top section, and found the same boots that weren't showing up with weighted options.

[tranquil steeple]

weighted sum is something you only really do for trading for profit or weapons, or if your a stat stacker

[tranquil steeple]

if you want multiple resistances just use a count

[atomic halo]

it's also when your gear is flexible / not in place yet

[merry bone]

because its a weighted SUM.

[tranquil steeple]

yea

use a count for multiple resistances

count of 2

with all res in it

with a min of like 25 or 30 or whatever you need

[atomic halo]

I guess where I'm confused is, I've searched for say, resistances before, given them value of 3, 2, 1, then searched, clicked, "Sum" and then the top item was missing one or 2 of the resistances
can you explain why this wasn't what you were expecting

[merry bone]

weighted sum very useful for when you are hard swappiong builds - or during breakpoints in gearing - maybe you do it at start of Cruel - then start of maps - then like level 78 when all the bases open up

[nova isle]

Should I be swapping to lighting Merc from grenade build before I get too deep into endgame? I’m honestly not liking how slow Grenade feels rn

[merry bone]

"should you" - no. Dont let others tell you waht to do - be your own person!.

If you dont like it, swap.

[nova isle]

fair point - I guess i should ask if lighting is significanlty better than grenade rn and if id have an easier time mapping with it

[merry bone]

very different builds - may require significant regearing/respeccing to get the most of out of - as well as skill gems obviously. The "setup" time for grenades definitely isnt for everyone

[rough hill]

I thought it was a system of, "ish." That is to say, imagine I'm searching for physical damage and idk, crit chance. If I put in exact values, if they don't exist, the item doesn't come up. Or they do come up, and it's one pair. But I figured giving them weighted sums would give you a hiearchy of results for what you want in case I find say, a bow with the physical damage I need, but maybe 1 less crit than I wanted, but it's 10 exalts cheaper. Like, I would save those 10 exalts in exchange for 1 point of whatever I needed, instead of being so hyper specific.

[nova isle]

true - i think id have the resources to swap at the least - setup time on grenade is def my biggest issue its gotten close to killing me often enough

[atomic halo]

well yeah, but the nature of the operation means that you might see results with tons of phys and no crit or tons of crit and no phys

well i guess you cant get no phys but whatever

if you really want a minimum, you can set it separately on top of the weighted sum

[rough hill]

In the experimenting I did though, I would often get say, only one of the stats at all. Let alone 2 or 3 of them. I was just trying to figure out why.

[atomic halo]

math

it's literally just math and numbers

give a specific example and we can help you figure out why

[rough hill]

I couldn't now. I did this over a week ago and gave up when no one was answering me.

I believe I was searching boots with movement speed and resistance but I don't remember.

[west dove]

the weighting is a number between 0 to 1

[atomic halo]

wdym it can be more than 1

[west dove]

it works either way, bigger number means higher priority

[rough hill]

Well, I appreciate the help. I still don't understand it but eh, that's fine. On a seperate note, how do I make spirit skills be assigned in PoB? For instance, I can't seem to make it take Archmage into consideration and it says I have unused Spirit and idk why.

[tidal copper]

Connor said that archmage is bug
Many things not working yeah...

[rough hill]

Oh. Hm. Are several spirit gems like that then? B/c it says I have almost none of mine used.

[tidal copper]

Probably no exact idea in what's broken
In the calcs page you can see where different mods are coming from maybe that helps

[limber arrow]

anyone know how to add deamon flame stacks to pob?

[rough hill]

I see Spirit 93/183. Is that what you mean? Or do you mean it can tell me the source?

[tidal copper]

Should be in the configuration

[tidal copper]

Maybe if you select it top left?

[limber arrow]

yea i search for it and nothing tried deamon flame spell power etc im not super versed in pob so trying to learn

[waxen jewel]

Essences with quivers = good shit. Can force added phys or added cold yay!

[whole silo]

Hi today i bought Poe 2. I stopped playing Poe 1 five months ago. Can anyone suggest which builds i should try in poe 2 i prefer mapclear type builds.

[waxen jewel]

Though what's the point when it's just the first affix :(

[merry bone]

Spark Stormweaver

[waxen jewel]

Go ball lightning stormweaver :D

I guess that's the same thing and it Cast on Shocks dem balls

[whole silo]

Ok

Is shattering concotion is good for starter or not ?

Or any ice type builds good ?

[merry bone]

Ice Strike Invoker - into Flicker

i like shattering conc alot - but as a starter i dont know how it would feel - scales with widowhail and good quivers which you wont have. Would go Lightning Arrow/Lightning Rod - into Gas Arrow (lvl 22), Poison Concoction with first lab. Run Gas Arrow/PConc through campaign

[whole silo]

Ok thanks for the info

How about minion builds

As a starter

[merry bone]

Infernalist - Arsonists

End game - snipers, storm mages or frost mages are all good. Can even keep playing arsonists

[whole silo]

Ok

[waxen jewel]

Mages have least distance to the stuff everyone else wants anyways

And thematic juicy looking ascendancies

I hate my deadeye. I'll try to go T15 then stormweaver time

[merry bone]

gotta be ready for the zoom on deadeye

[grand girder]

Hey again! 🙂

So my Invoker skills that I use are; Charged Staff, Ice Strike, Unbound Avatar, Hypothermia and Tempest Bell. Which means that I have two empty skill slots left.

Are there more skills I ought to use there, or should I leave it as is?

[merry bone]

Falling thunder to take advantage of extra charges? Hand of Chayula to apply curse/mark? Storm Wave if you need to do damage at range?

[muted dagger]

What support gems should I put on my herald of lightning? I know I need to put cold ones on but idk which

[merry bone]

Cold Infusion / Glaciation

[grand girder]

Oh I like the idéa of Storm Wave for ranged damage. Thanks for the suggestions 👍

[muted dagger]

Thank you!

I also saw this dude using storm wave, but it had three projectiles, any idea how to get that?

[merry bone]

Its like Upheaval support or something like that

[muted dagger]

Ohh I found it, it's a level 3

[merry bone]

I dont recommend it unless you have a pretty specific set up

[muted dagger]

Rip

Yeahh seems lame

It feels like my herald of ice isn't procing as much as it should, idk why

[merry bone]

you dont do enough dmg

[muted dagger]

That'd make sense, idk how to rlly get more, I'm assuming I should get a better staff

[merry bone]

Polcirkeln if you dont have it yet will help while you get your dmg up - as it wont requires the freezes to proc the shatters

[muted dagger]

Yeah I got that one just a bit ago

Think I'ma just push through

Then once I'm act 2 cruel I can get my unbound avatar

[merry bone]

So now you need to make sure your primary attack does enough lightning dmg to proc shocks - so you get your Hearld of Thunder rolling - so it causes freezes to help your Herald of ice cause shatters

[icy kiln]

im a bit confused looking at pob numbers, its saying you need chance to poison for your gas cloud but nobody runs it, does the cloud automatically poison?

[merry bone]

it does

[icy kiln]

wtf where does everyone get it from for pathfinder

[muted dagger]

This is my staff atm

[merry bone]

You asked "does it automatically poison" - i said "it does"

[icy kiln]

oh lol. so pob is calcing based on the arrow hit damage then when its saying its the best support

[merry bone]

that is actually horrific.... sorry

[muted dagger]

I'm only on act 1 cruel!!

Im new!!

I'm tryinggg

[icy kiln]

and same goes for accuracy as well right. cause the arrow just blows up, you dont care about the acc

[muted dagger]

Idk how to get a better one

[merry bone]

check vendors - use the gambler - pick up every staff and use currency on it. Check #1308715317375270952 for how to improve gear during the campaign.

Or embrace the trade meta - and go buy one for 1 exalt that literally lets you shit on everything

[muted dagger]

What would I need to search for in trade

[merry bone]

what level are you?

[muted dagger]

I have 3 exalts lmaoo

I'm lvl 50

[merry bone]

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Standard/6v2YrqqhG

Sub 3 Exalts - 275+ Phys dps - sort for other things you may want

[heady oxide]

Anyone here playing Shockwave totems?

[true shell]

Anyone happen to know if they fixed considered casting effecting triggered spells?

[scarlet musk]

How would you guys rank the classes after last patch

[merry bone]

there was basically no balance changes in last patch

[astral drum]

Can anyone help me with a monk staff? I'm trying to find out what a God staff looks like to know what the best affixes are

[merry bone]

Huge PHysical dmg. Crit Chance / Crit Dmg Bonus / Attack Speed

[scarlet musk]

What does a godlike Merc Crossbow look like? Also how would you rank the classes right now then

[merry bone]

When your Qstaff does this much dps - it dont much matter.....

[merry bone]

Lightning HOWA

[scarlet musk]

?

[merry bone]

I dont rank classes - because thats ridiculous, given the classes are basically irrelevant.

[muted dagger]

Is Merc any fun at endgame/higher levels? It starts off so boring feeling ngl

[scarlet musk]

Okay how about builds perhaps. top 3 or 5 maybe that stand out.

[scarlet musk]

thats where im at atm lol

i just got to endgame though

[muted dagger]

W outlast pfp btw

[merry bone]

Spark Stormwaver / PotCG & HOWA Gemling. If you wanna just play meta clear builds - pick 1

[scarlet musk]

preciate it

[cinder river]

Do any helmets, chest pieces or gloves have a skill attached to them?

[atomic halo]

i think its just weapons rn that grant skills

[merry bone]

and corpsewades

[heady oxide]

Just play what you enjoy

[merry bone]

the # of people who are just immune to that logic is amazing

[crude zealot]

Is it possible to get a 3rd curse other than through Deodre's ring? I suppose it's not worth the ring slot?

[merry bone]

they will actually play some dogshit they hate just because its the better build

[fervent briar]

I have found myself unable to enjoy anything. I cant get anything to last past 83 on titan. always ripping to some shotgun from a rare mob in less than 1s.

[merry bone]

Time for a new game if you really cant enjoy anything

[fervent briar]

there is no game but poe

[merry bone]

Detonate Dead Blood Mage

[fervent briar]

what defense es i presume?

[merry bone]

overcapped life and ES

If you want it to be tanky - you go ES/EV Invoker, and just freeze/shatter everything

[fervent briar]

i played that on sc once, its just not it for me. its 1 step from flicker strike with all the speedy gap closing you end up in ground effects on accident too much.

[merry bone]

CI Shattering Conction

[fervent briar]

already played it once

all my dead boys

[raw beacon]

Best deadeye build?

[merry bone]

Molten Blast definitely

[waxen jewel]

Does anyone know how these 2 nodes apply?
My guess would be that they both just look at the base stat independently, but that's just my common sense

And a followup question: What's the general rule in situations like this?

[fervent briar]

the 2nd one is only what the armour has itself

[merry bone]

But Seriously - Lightning Arrow/Lightning Rod, Ice Shot, Gas Arrow, even Explosive Shot Xbow

[fervent briar]

when you look at the actual item

at least thats how it works with shield skills and +shield defenses

[merry bone]

base stat independently

[waxen jewel]

Each node looks at stats independently with no knowledge of each other and then everything gets summed up at the end, I see

[merry bone]

Beastial Skin - doesnt ADD Evasion to your Equipped Body Armour.

[fervent briar]

well idk about summing up at the end. maybe for the evasion stat but it wont give you more es to get that other node

If it did shield crush would actually be comparably strong to other skills in poe1. instead of just being ok, just not worth the clunk

[merry bone]

If you have a 1200 Evasion chest - by equipping it - you will get 2400 Evasion and 100 ES

[waxen jewel]

I mean, there are other things that give evasion like this. It gets added up with the Spectral Ward bonus in the end, that's all. And any other crap going on in the passive tree

It's relevant because I'm going for all the 3

As many are

But I got it, thanks!

[nimble ferry]

ANYONE use Dark Effigy build?

[waxen jewel]

About 2820 evasion body (with runes and qual) is about max. And that get's doubled lol

Perfect gear is sick nasty

about 3060 with vaaled evasion

[muted dagger]

This is decent for leveling right?

[merry bone]

sure

[muted dagger]

Just dropped from some goober

[static plinth]

Requires 26 so, i guess?

[delicate aspen]

Bros, I'm at work, currently thinking* if I should level a Gemling instead of my warbringer, instead of working.

HELP

[fervent briar]

should probably just work

[delicate aspen]

On my build you say?

No but for real, I'm feeling i kinda messed up not leveling a gemling. They are so flexible for creating builds

[waxen jewel]

Looks great

[merry bone]

You had a choice of a badass monk with a staff whooping ass. A dude with a Crossbow shotgunning blasting motherfuckers. A witch ripping the life out of people.... .and you chose a big dummy with a hammer.... You sort of did this to yourself

[delicate aspen]

Ironically I'm not even using a hammer I'm a shield guy

I run magma barrier

If i could duel wield a shield or 2H shield i would.

[merry bone]

You actuaolly somehow made your pick worse - by not playing a version where you got to wield 2 Two handers...

🙂

[delicate aspen]

see, you thought I'm bad for one thing

while in reality...

[fervent briar]

up surprised we didnt get a real shield skill like shield crush.

*im

[delicate aspen]

🛡️ 😢

[merry bone]

we got that shield slam where we beat our shield and do dmg

[delicate aspen]

Resonating shield

[fervent briar]

by do dmg do you mean do no damage

[merry bone]

well its a warrior skill - doing no dmg is just par for the course

[fervent briar]

i reckon so

[delicate aspen]

The skill itself is kinda fun but getting dmg from armor on shield only is fucked up

[fervent briar]

it really sucks for ssf when you need a 60%+ inc block chance prefix and also need high rolled life prefix as well

"crafting" just sucks atm

[delicate aspen]

I'm kinda annoyed about "cast on block" as well

it's so bad

[fervent briar]

what do you mean

is there a cast on block gem

[delicate aspen]

on Svalinn

which is another issue

[fervent briar]

oh. i still havent found one.

[delicate aspen]

Ah you SSFing

respect

[fervent briar]

ya

its sucked the life out of me for now

[delicate aspen]

But yeah it's annoying AF bro. 1st, the shield itself sucks.

2nd you need 97 int to use the skill

[fervent briar]

also pob not working for a lot of interactions or just me not knowing how to config it took some fun out of it

lol wow

so block builds cant even use it without shenanagins

[delicate aspen]

yes.

And it proccs once in 3 business days

[fervent briar]

lol

[delicate aspen]

by the time your cast on block skill activates either you or the mobs are dead

[fervent briar]

shame we didnt get a meta skill like cast on stun

[delicate aspen]

Like warbringer's turtle charm and cast on block could make crazy shit happen

but it's just so goddamn awaful. 😦 and again, gated by Svalinn

[fervent briar]

they always know what will make things strong for bottom left builds and slap it in the dick before it exists.

[plain temple]

Hey guys, so I just grabbed a Pillar of the caged god for my monk, but it drops all the dps on my skills by a lot, is this even the right QS to be using?

[fervent briar]

are you use howa gloves. you will have not flat with that staff essentially

you can supplement with flat in other places if you dont hav ethe gloves

[plain temple]

I don't have those gloves right now

[fervent briar]

you will need to get rings amulets and regular gloves with flat most likely for it to feel ok, and likely if you make it too far idk where youre going to get enough flat anyways. I havent played it yet though

[plain temple]

Someone gave me some painters servant gloves but I haven't put them on yet

[fervent briar]

idk what that means

[plain temple]

They are just unique gloves

[old shuttle]

painters gloves are pretty meh/useless

[plain temple]

That explains why he just gave them away

[fervent briar]

buy some rare gloves with triple flat damage on them

if you cant afford howa

[plain temple]

What do you mean by triple flat damage. Sorry I'm new new to this series

[fervent briar]

like this

not exactly like that, its just a representation

those mods on rings too

what level are you

[plain temple]

Ah ok

I'm 38 about to crack 39

[fervent briar]

i would just use a rare weapon tbh

[plain temple]

Ok. Fair enough. I have plenty of choices on the rare front. Was excited to see the staff so I jumped

[muted dagger]

What support gems should I use for shattering palm?

I wanna try and use it with my herald monk

[fervent briar]

i used practiced combo, cold exposure, and ice bite, there was no good reason why i went with that. it was early on and I don't still dont know what the best combo is.

[muted dagger]

Thank you!

This games cool as shit

[fervent briar]

i dont even know if that skill builds combo to begin with lol

[muted dagger]

I don't think so

But like

If it works it works

Nvm it does

[daring marsh]

Can someone confirm that the passive skill node "Dynamism" does not increase "ALL" damage by 40%?
It seems to, insteade, increase the "Spell Damage" by 40%.

[fervent briar]

wheres it at on the tree

[fervent briar]

thats just any damage

if you use that on monk with cast on freeze it should give you 40% damage on all skills

[daring marsh]

Yeah, but I've been testing it a lot since lvl 90
now at lvl 93
always checking my gem skill dmg go up and down with buffs, and it definitely does not go up enough to match the 40%
even the 30% increase of damage on chill increases a lot more

if I deselect that skill node and select Echoing Flames
even though I ignite not so often because my fire damage is relatively low, I still get more dps than having Dynamism, which triggers very often

And Echoing Flames is only 30% elemental damage increase

I have the impression that the description of Dynamism is wrong and is meant to be either "Spell Damage" or "Triggered skill damage"

[forest mantle]

What is a better ascendancy deadeye or path finder?

[muted dagger]

How is herald of thunder supposed to work with herald of ice? For me ice is rlly the only one that pops, I have cold infusion on lightning and lightning on ice

[fervent briar]

well if you want to play concoctions pathfinder is

i think pathfinder is fairly versatile though. I dont know that is has anything thats spectacular though outside of concoctions. I don't generally mess with poison stuff though.

i dont play deadeyes because im morally superior (although i cant spell worth a damn)

[daring marsh]

Herald of Thunder only triggers if you kill a shocked enemy.
If you don't shock any enemy, it will never trigger.
Especially on higher tier maps, if your shock chance and magnitude is low, it will be very hard to trigger it.
I use tempest flurry that automatically gives 100% increased shock chance on last strike, and I have +60% shock chance and +60% shock magnitude with passive skills.
And even so, in t16+ maps, depending on the mods of the waystone (e.g. mosnter elemental ailment threshold increase), it can be hard to shock them.

[muted dagger]

I was told ice strike was the way to go

But yeah makes sense, herald of ice is definitely destroying, just feels like I'm wasting spirit points

[fervent briar]

ice strike is what i played. it was great i didnt do all the herald chaining shit though

once you get a really high evasion/es chest you get a lot of spirit

[muted dagger]

Yeahh that's what I'm tryna do rn

[daring marsh]

Yeah, I wouldn't recommend using both heralds

[muted dagger]

I'm finishing up act 1 on cruel rn

[muted dagger]

Just seems like that's what ppl are mainly usin

[forest mantle]

@fervent briar okay yeah I was just wondering if I were to change my build mid way after I ascend cause I want to do concoctions

[fervent briar]

You have to be pf to play concoctions

You cant change ascendancy either

shattering concoction is really strong. i did it in ssf with shit gear and it owned

[forest mantle]

@fervent briar yeah I haven’t ascended yet that’s the build I wanna make my last build I kinda messed up the ascendancy and I payed big time for it haha thanks man I’m gonna give pathfinder a try for sure

[delicate aspen]

Such an unbelivebly anti-player descion by them

I get why they do it money wise, but holy hell is it annoying

[delicate aspen]

Poison conc runs of fucking nothing its amazing. You get the corpsewade and +poison on monster (doubled by your 2nd ascn ) and laugh and the screen

https://poe2db.tw/Corpsewade

[stray leaf]

Hello, I'm still learning the ropes of the game as a hunter. I've jsut used an orb on my dualstring bow, and it now shoots out 3x arrows

is this a good affix?

[delicate aspen]

I mean, do you kill things fast enough to survive and progress through content? do you have fun? if so you are doing it right

If you hit a wall you can always follow a guide from scratch. But learning it on your own is (imo) hella fun

Ah whops I misread your question, you asked about crafting basically

my bad bro

[stray leaf]

Feels like I'm clearing mobs well but now it consumes mana 1.5x more XD. Yea I get you tho, need to stop being too drawn up with optimum builds and just have fgun

[delicate aspen]

There's a time and place for that as well. But at the start? just enjoy and try things. It's very hard to brick yourself and ruin a playthrough (impossible maybe) so you can't really go wrong

[fathom wolf]

so concetrated effect decreases the area of effect by 50 percent would putting on magnified effect increase it back by like 10 ?

[twilit lodge]

How is Mercenarys Gas Grenade damage calculated when it explodes?

Say you shoot out 4 grenades is it always 4 seperate explosions that get triggered even if the smoke has been on the ground for a while forming like a connected cloud of smoke or will that become just 1 explosion dealing 1 explosions worth of damage?

[wintry osprey]

Pretty sure it’s 4 nades 4 explosions , and a portion of it’s damage is fire damage. It gets real crazy when you stack Exploding nades in there, and Oil nades. The damage across them all stacks, if I’m not mistaken.

So, scatter shot with an extra projectile bow, would have multiple oil nades and their damage when ignited, stacked with multiple gas nades and their damage when they detonate and ignite, plus the exploding nades and their damage when they detonate. Stacks on stacks on stacks.

[round arrow]

is there a way to copy items from trade site to pob?

[eternal raptor]

i would like to make a max block svalinn warbringer
the shield has cast on block so i guess if its not purely supp gems it would go into a caster direction
any ideas what skills to play with that?

[fast wind]

anyone got any ideas on how to use demonflame early?

[delicate aspen]

Gotta tell you, I tried to make it work yesterday, warbringer ans Svalinn, it's so bad bro

turtle charm does proc it but you being around high 50's to 60's block max coupled with the low energy generation? yeah either you or the mobs die before anything procs

[eternal raptor]

wdym low energy generation its 250 base per block which is more than enough for like 3 skills at the same time

and 65% max block is already 87% with lucky

thats more than i have evasion on my ranger

[delicate aspen]

test it for yourself, you'll see what I mean. By all means if you make it work i'll follow your build asap

[eternal raptor]

i'm just asking since i didnt try it yet

in theory it should work

[delicate aspen]

thats what i was thinking but it generates enegy extremly slow compared to just using your own skills. Again, I might have fucked up myself and who knows maybe it can work, but from playing with it yesterday i couldn't make it happen

what you were thinking into slottin in the cast on block btw?

[eternal raptor]

idk my best guess would be comet or frostbomb, if the latter then maybe even a temporalis but that might be difficult to get all the block nodes and aoe/red duration

the thing is that warbringer ascendancy is either armourbreak or totems which dosnt work with svalinn at all

[obsidian kelp]

Would someone be able to help me figure out why I’m not doing dmg

[delicate aspen]

turtlecharm though, which is nice

but yeah, i'm thinking about rerolling gemling. even after putting all those hours into my WB

[waxen jewel]

Voltaic Mark has "increased effect of shock". That's multiplicative with "shock magnitude" right?

Yeah, it literally says that in the tooltip of "Buff"

[sullen iris]

What is the best endgame infernalist build? I'm level 90 currently playing DD Aronists with a Frost Mage and I seem to be struggling with Delirium and breaches. Juiced bosses etc are easy but I'm wondering if there'sa better build in general

[rose marsh]

Is %increased eshield nodes and affixes useless for eldritch battery builds ?

[lusty ingot]

I have a question about "...and protect me from harm" from the Invoker Monk ascendancy skills. What it essentialy does is that it combines my armor and evasion and gives me dmg reduction?

[hybrid ocean]

Probably the way to go would be finding a way to hit yourself. Have you tested fireflower solar amulet?

[waxen jewel]

How can you guys resist from trying to build something around demonform :D

I guess there arent that many toys yet

[waxen jewel]

From reading it I'd assume it would do these steps:

1. Get your armor
2. Get your evasion multiplied by 0.6
3. Add 1 and 2 together as the new real effective armor

[lusty ingot]

well

the build im following doesnt have any armor in it

[waxen jewel]

You do still benefit from evasion though, just with 40% less effectiveness

[lusty ingot]

its said that when i get a chest piece with 300+ evasion i should get the skill

[waxen jewel]

You don't have to have any armor for that to work

You can add 0 + evasion * 0.6

[lusty ingot]

i have 50% evasion right now im guessing thats good?

[waxen jewel]

What stage of game

[lusty ingot]

act 6

early

[waxen jewel]

And remember, bosses and such have higher accuracy so it's kinda misleading

[lusty ingot]

well i kinda delete bosses in 3 sec so i dont think its a problem

[waxen jewel]

How many weapon set points you have? (the number in parentheses). I went until level 76 and I had missed 4 points all along...

I assume you are aware of the permanent buffs you gain during the campaign?

[lusty ingot]

yeah ofc

i grab em all

i can send the build im following if you want to take a look

[lusty ingot]

i have no idea what this is btw

[waxen jewel]

Yeah I had forgotten somehow the ones in act2, in the ruins there's this venom boss or whatever

You can split your passive tree between your 2 weapon sets

But it's optional

[lusty ingot]

I use 1 staff so no need

[waxen jewel]

For example: I have my bow and quiver weapon set using 6 points for quiver effectiveness passives and another 7 for bow passives. This allows my offhand + shield (for shield charge mobility) function as a curser. I get curse effectiveness and 100% curse AoE with my off hand in addition to unarmed attack speed for faster shield dashing

That's why my points say 11 (24)

You share all your points between the sets

Which is completely fine and legit

[eternal raptor]

if its anything like poe1 you cant block self inflicted dmg

[hybrid ocean]

Ah, seems likely

[lusty ingot]

is there any way to check how much "dmg reduction" i have?

[waxen jewel]

I'm still not sure whether unarmed attack speed affects offhand skills. Flurry definitely works, but it's worded differently. The 3 small nodes IDK

[lusty ingot]

oh its armour my bad

[waxen jewel]

Sure I am "unarmed" so it makes sense that the "while I'm unarmed" bonus applies, but the skill Shield Bash is not tagged Unarmed and doesn't claim to do Unarmed damage so does it benefit from Unarmed Attack speed? It doesn't benefit from warcry speed that's for sure, is unarmed the same?

Who knows

These are actually useful, for non-meme reasons for Hand of Chayula

[hybrid ocean]

Maybe party members' flash grenades are hits?

Seems unlikely, but worth testing

[waxen jewel]

I wouldn't believe PoE1 mechanics too much. The tooltip in PoE2 for blocking says it can freeze you for example, unlike poe1

[hybrid ocean]

Ideally we get this guy, who already has a high block chance warbringer, to test it

[waxen jewel]

But thematically it makes sense

[hybrid ocean]

Heartbound loops go for like 1 exalt

I'll reimburse you if you'd like

But assuming those don't work, do we have any other way to get ourselves hit that isn't liable to one shot us or dependent on the enemy?

[waxen jewel]

It would be awesome to self block to go full Sonic with that +1% move speed after block

[hybrid ocean]

Hmm

Maybe we can block thorns?

[waxen jewel]

How do you reflect thorns

to yourself

[hybrid ocean]

No obvious way

[waxen jewel]

Can you even do damage to yourself in poe2?

[hybrid ocean]

I was thinking about some necromantic talisman + thorns from amulet and then somehow hitting our minions

[hybrid ocean]

Wdym

[waxen jewel]

I'm asking, I'm curious and want to learn if there is hit yourself mechanics in poe2

Lose life, yeah sure

[hybrid ocean]

Pyromantic pact is a hit

Other than that idk

[lusty ingot]

what does "while affected" mean? That i just need to have it turned on via right clicking on the skill or by having the effect on the top left on my screen?

[hybrid ocean]

Heartbound Loop and FireFlower share the same wording, so it seems likely

[hybrid ocean]

Those should be the same thing?

[lusty ingot]

nope

im using herald of thunder right now and

i have it turned on

and it sometimes pops up on the top left on my screen

[hybrid ocean]

Oh, the stacks of lightning bolts ready are not the same thing

[waxen jewel]

While affected means it's active

[hybrid ocean]

It's also the only herald that has that

But yeah

[waxen jewel]

You don't need to have triggered it

[lusty ingot]

ooooooooooh that sound gooood

so its like free dmg?

[waxen jewel]

It is

[eternal raptor]

probably a supp gem

[waxen jewel]

Especially early

That whole 4 points gives you 124% inc damage for the rest of your run

[eternal raptor]

oh nvm i thought of heralf of ice mb

[waxen jewel]

2 * 12% for the small nodes

[hybrid ocean]

Well, I guess the obvious thing now is to test if pyromantic pact can be blocked

[lusty ingot]

4 points?

[hybrid ocean]

Anyone got an infernalist on hand to test this?

[eternal raptor]

ill try it

[waxen jewel]

I originally had no interest in doing cold damage on my Deadeye, but it became obvious quickly that I need some other way to scale. Cold damage provides the herald and Ice Bite buff

[hybrid ocean]

I recently swapped to three dragons on my deadeye

Makes things so much more straightforward, and looking towards gear upgrades so much cheaper

[waxen jewel]

Well pyromantic pact is not a strike or projectile, that's your first problem

[hybrid ocean]

Oh, right

We can't get the warrior ascendancy node on infernalist, can we...

Heartbound Loop it is.

[waxen jewel]

Fear not though

[hybrid ocean]

Good for our test

But not useful since we can't dual wield shields (GGG Why?!)

Cast on block doesn't exist as a gem, it comes with Svalinn

[waxen jewel]

Then go crazy with all this crap

Idk anymore

I know those don't combine too well, I just wanted to show my favorite toys lol

[eternal raptor]

dosnt look like you can block the self dmg from infernalist
it wasnt "all hits" block but the ascendancy should be just a regular hit anyways

[waxen jewel]

Hmm

[hybrid ocean]

Not a strike or projectile

[waxen jewel]

Might simply be a bug

[hybrid ocean]

So presumably you would need all hits

[waxen jewel]

Did you try with The Wailing Wall?

[eternal raptor]

just a base shield

[waxen jewel]

That shouldn't work, by the tooltip. At least GGG is consistent

Like what exactly would even be the intention of that shield, if you could block just any hits anyways? Good to test though!

[eternal raptor]

nope the wall dosnt change anything

[sour basin]

is there any passive planning tool out that does what "path of pathing" does for poe1 where you click the nodes you want and it shows you the shortest route?

[waxen jewel]

Finally an upgrade... been like 30 levels now

[waxen jewel]

Path of Building 2, but I don't know if it does what you want

Most passive tree planners kinda have that feature automatically

[sour basin]

doesnt have it yet sadly

[waxen jewel]

The real problem is: which of the shortest paths is a good one

Lot of ties

[sour basin]

and ive tried a few sites but it just highlights the ones you click and does any and all paths

i dont need optimal but i feel ive spent too many on travel nodes

[waxen jewel]

I'm bit confused what you want. Just make an empty tree, pick the nodes you want, and then click on a node far away, disconnected from your current ones, and any software must find a shortest path there, it's not optional

If you mean like you have a tree with lot of branches going all over, then optimizing that to some prettier pruned one, did pob for poe1 have something like that?

Sounds pretty awesome

[sour basin]

so in path of pathing for poe1 you could click the nodes you wanted and it would path the shortest distance for you

[waxen jewel]

So did you first pick a few nodes you want and then the software connected them to a tree?

Ohh I can't read

That's pretty awesome feature

It could even show some alternatives in-case of many ties

[sour basin]

this is for the atlas/maps passive tree in poe 1 and i always use pob/guides so never needed a passive tree version

[waxen jewel]

I do not enjoy node counting/pathing myself either. Especially with how the tree is in PoE2, it's very hard to cauge distance

[sour basin]

so this is my tree atm

up out of view theres some life regen/ life per second nodes

and same to the right

im not planning a build that can do all/most content

[waxen jewel]

I doubt there is an alternative route unless you are willing to sacrifice some cluster for another somewhere

[sour basin]

so dont need to be optimal or anything so im trying full regen build

[waxen jewel]

Only sus stuff that I see is in the starting area

[sour basin]

tree has some single nodes because ive just only swapped some about

theres 2 regen nodes i want

any node with life per sec/life regeneration is the build

so they are none negotiable i have to work around them

im already in the areas for the nodes i wanna get and it looks like i have taken the shortest route i just wanted to double check

[sudden elm]

this a good channel to seek aid in working with PoB2?

[idle goblet]

How does "when on full energy shield" works with EB ? Its considered empty ?

[narrow rampart]

guys, is it possible to switch auras on weapon swap ?

[waxen jewel]

But you might want to consider like going through some natural attack damage nodes when approaching the horizontal line of attribute nodes, instead of going straight away to the templar starting area and spending like 5 nodes for it

Like

[sour basin]

top left is 2 nodes next to each other which are both for damage. my attack skill is sunder so that benefits both of those

bottom left shield is aftershock and i get a decent amount of 8 aftershocks

ive just recently got the right side armour break/phys damage.

im gonna refund the 1 dex node on left side and the life per sec node top right to start going into the 2h also

[spare root]

is herald of ice warrior gonna get nerfed? or shoudl I build it

[waxen jewel]

There is anoint always

But what is it losing you

I have no idea, just curious

[sudden elm]

press G, expand the skill you want for the specific weapon, select which you want it to be active for.

[waxen jewel]

Note: There's a slight downside for this, it effectively 0.25s weapon swap time

[narrow rampart]

oh, I'm fucking blind mate... tysm

[sudden elm]

np

[waxen jewel]

IDK if there's much wrong with or that you could optimize

The needs change when gear does

Anways

[sour basin]

yeah thats what i thought myself but ive been known to make the simplest of oversights haha

thanks

[sour basin]

annoint is gonna be for watchtower so i can have 2 ancestral totems armour breaking instead of 1 attacking slowly but while sitting at 9 ex that annoint is gonna be very far away XD

[waxen jewel]

What I learned here is that damn Warrior passive tree side is boring

[sour basin]

XD i meant you're not wrong

but as only a warrior player

you're also not right haha

[eternal raptor]

after testing it now i think its probably a typo
25 energy on block instead of 250 seems more likely especially considering that quality gives only +5 so you need at least 4 blocks for a 1sec casttime spell

[sour basin]

im having a blast with my pure shockwave/life regen build even though its not top tier XD

8 waves of sunder with ancestral totem armour breaking from a distance then once ive got 4th asc ill be getting the ancestrally boosted so if it works how i think it will the aftershocks will all gain the 20% "more" damage from the ancestrally boosted tag

its the defences that suck on warrior side

[eternal raptor]

only 26% block chance with lucky and like 60 eva since i test it on my ranger but the energy gain seems so terrible

[spare mica]

Yay - finally figured out how to allocate weapon sets in the tree for PoB 😀

ALT-Mousewheel.... what an input combination to pick 🤷‍♂️

[plain cloud]

Hey, how do you search for items without sockets on them? I can search ones with runes/empty sockets but is there a way to find ones without?

[spare mica]

search as in search on the trade site?

[delicate aspen]

Unironically small moment of victory

[eternal raptor]

no need for that anymore you can swap out runes now

[spare mica]

I had to look up the patch notes which mentioned "fixing" that feature. Then looked for that specific fix, then for what in the code it changed....

[delicate aspen]

Chad move VanGogh

PoB is nearly as addictive as POE itself imo

[spare mica]

Well, until they get item-granted skills and weapon set locked skills to work, does not really help me as much - but it's a start 😉

[delicate aspen]

yep

I need to install it on my laptop as, but im running linux

so it's slightly more annoying to wine it

[zealous gyro]

For the "NUKE Crit Wave Lightning Invoker", would you guys recommend the life version or double herald CI version?

[hybrid ocean]

Still looking for any way to self proc cast on block without relying on enemy attacks

Is there any form of friendly fire at all besides flash grenades?

[fervent flame]

what jewels do you guys use for double herald

[opal bobcat]

Does zealot's oath (excess life recovery from regeneration is applied to ES) also work with life heal from recoup?

[sharp warren]

Can someone help me with my ice strike monk? I suddenly have 0 dmg and i dont know why. Im lvl 93

[spare root]

should I go herald of ice hammer warrior or normal? will herald of ice be nerfed?

[heady oxide]

Fellas

I have an 84% ingenuity

And these rings dropped

Should I level a different room

Toon **

Such as a monk

Or gemling

To take advantage of this?

[spare root]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/hammer-of-the-gods-titan-build-guide#passives-header what are the green outlined nodes here mean?

[night pine]

Is there a dedicated Discord for PoB or this channel intended for questions on that too?
Wondering how to switch attribute points without removing them (and clearing alot of linked points)?

[zealous gyro]

Ice Strike, Wave Lightning or Tempest Flurry for budget CI Invoker? What do you guys think?

[sharp warren]

Those are only being used while using weapon set 2

And the red ones while using weapon set 1

[marsh river]

why did this go directly past CI?

and full ES

[spare root]

thank you

[marsh river]

nm figured it out

[delicate aspen]

me to myself in the mirror before gym:

[delicate aspen]

The name

[grand nebula]

Anyone have a good skeletal arsonist level to end game build guide? Bored of monk atm haha

[placid tiger]

what what do you think is better for poison conc? windowhail ofc

[atomic yacht]

Does blinding an enemy make their attacks more likely to be blocked

[opal bobcat]

Is there any way to make recoup somehow affect ES too?
I want to build a lot of recoup but not sure how can I make it also regen my ES

[waxen jewel]

@hybrid ocean did you ever test the idea to block infernalist self hit with this?

[waxen jewel]

No, because they miss more often due to evade which happens before you get a chance to block

[waxen jewel]

Pretty sure there is a modifier/notable/time-travel-jewel for this, sec

[atomic yacht]

i got 0 evade lul

[opal bobcat]

Hmm I didn't think of that actually, only searched the passive tree but the closest think was zealot's oath, which only works on regen and not recoup

[waxen jewel]

Ohh nvm there's this:

[opal bobcat]

Ehh I'm infernalist tho

Will damage myself using infernal flames so I wanted to get a lot of recoup to heal from that, but I want it to heal my ES too

[waxen jewel]

Only thing I found was this weirdo:

But I doubt you didn't know of it already

[dapper copper]

Should I got for +melee skill on quarterstaff? Or just as much phys DMG as possible? Or sth else? Using Ice strike double herald

[opal bobcat]

Hmm yeah thats the only thing I could find in the passive tree too
Was thinking if maybe there's some item / jewel that could apply recoup to ES too, since I'm still in campaign so don't really know many of the items

[waxen jewel]

Hard to beat +6 levels if you have mana for it right?

[opal bobcat]

If recoup can't somehow be generally applied to ES too I'd have to probably replace it with ES recharge and use chaos inoculation i guess

[waxen jewel]

Damn I swear I found some trippy time-lost-jewel that does something with recoup, but can't now

[opal bobcat]

No worries I'll try to search on it, but how is a time lost jewel different than a regular one?

[waxen jewel]

I must've been dreaming

They have weird modifiers and are rare

And their power depend on notable passives / small passives taken inside their radius

[opal bobcat]

Also I know that when using infernal flame to replace mana a lot of mana based passives / support skills don't really work anymore, but would mind over matter (damage taken from mana before life) still work?

[mortal basalt]

Is poison burst arrow considered a marked skill? im trying to go for the skill No Escape to see if it scales with poison duration

[opal bobcat]

When using eternal youth would ES recharge be added to the current regen I have or replace the regular life regen?

[crisp timber]

yo can someone link a infernalist build that kills bosses easily? struglling hard

[waxen jewel]

Only skills that have the tag "Mark" are mark skills

[waxen jewel]

Confusing question. Replace what? Eternal youth swaps the targets of ES recharge and Life flask. Now you have ES flask and Life recharge.

Your life recharges depending on how much ES recharge rate you have

[opal bobcat]

But without the node you have regular life regenration, would that still apply even after using eternal youth? So you get regular regeneration + the ES recharge both applied to life

[waxen jewel]

And added flask recovery gives you better ES flask

I see no reason why it wouldn't

PoE uses keywords that mean one thing

[opal bobcat]

So the life recharge is just an addition on top of any other life regeneration that I already have, from any source that isnt a flask I suppose

[waxen jewel]

recharge is for energy shield normally, regen is for mana and life normally

I've never played with that node, but yeah. I would personally file a bug if it didn't (for bad description)

[opal bobcat]

Yeah makes sense that normal regen would remain as it only specified that ES recharge would apply to life, but not any removal of anything

[orchid musk]

does anybody know if Magnitude affects freeze?
also how does one get electrocute for an Ice Strike build, what ability is better to give the support to?

[waxen jewel]

The life recharge works like energy recharge, this time for life. All the increases to recharge rate and reductions to recharge delay apply to life now. Just as flask stats now apply to the ES flask

[rapid seal]

what is minimal viable ingenuity? is 50% okay?

[opal bobcat]

Also I suppose when Mind Over Matter says all damage is taken from mana before life, that would not count for sources saying "lose X life" like demon form?

[waxen jewel]

Normal life regen isn't going anywhere or interupting anything

Like think about it, you already constantly have many simultaneous way to recover your life/mana/ES (Recharge, Recoup, regen, flasks, +flat amounts from equipment modifiers) many things are recovering everything constantly

[waxen jewel]

No. PoE distinguishes damage from life loss. Life loss may happen without any damage. Very common when paying mana costs with life instead or sacrificing life for stuff

These don't trigger anything damage related and do not get mitigated by anything

[opal bobcat]

Hmm I see, thanks

[pale rose]

Can we ask Path of Building questions here?

I was wondering if anyone has gotten detonate dead to work in PoB. I cant seem to get it use a Skeletal Brute as a corpse with Sacrifice

[midnight geode]

does the bolt from stormcaller arrow count as a hit? Wondering if fork will reduce the dmg of the bolt as well

[drifting vessel]

Hi can anyone explain to me how eternal youth works?

So if I add eternal youth there is no point in me improving recharge rate?

[pine vine]

anything i could do better lv 90?

[hearty crane]

You’re still missing two skill points from the campaign

[lusty ingot]

am not finished

im at the middle of act 6

just got into Utzaal

if i remember correctly i gotta get that Heart

[hearty crane]

Get a time-lost emerald and put in this jewel slot

[pine vine]

small or med

[hearty crane]

I think I use a large. It catches 3/4 of the energy shield nodes on the upper left as well that my circle didn’t hit

I have crit dmg, lightning dmg and attack speed on it

[cobalt cape]

does infernalist have any good clear speed builds? these minions take forever to aim then miss their targets anyways

Honestly thinking of making a new ranger so I can run lightning arrow deadeyes

[lilac kite]

I need some help I th ink I'm missing something very obvious. I'm following this build but I don't do any shock build up. Currently following the midgame setup, I'm at act 4

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/lightning-arrow-farmer-fubgun

basically the main skills are like this currently

it does only freeze build up

as if I'm missing something very obvious

so please help?

and yes I have checked the FAQ in the build, still missing something

[potent swift]

In PoB2, do you put the default gem level or the total gem level influenced by items and stuff? Ib game it is 16 but brought to 22, so I dunno if PoB calculates it from 16 or 22 in that case?

[tidal copper]

Base PoB will count increases if you port your equipment

[potent swift]

I ported items, but can't port skills for some reason so I just added those manually

[hybrid ocean]

Yeah, someone else in this chat did

[mint berry]

does anyone know what the correct formula for calculating runes is? it doesn't seem like it's just multiplicative

[hybrid ocean]

Try unequipping the skills and importing them from your inventory?

[hybrid ocean]

Multiplicative with quality, additive with phys% on the weapon

Assuming you mean iron runes

Same for defenses, I believe

[mint berry]

interesting

ty!

[hybrid ocean]

Np

Do like, test this. Trust is good and all, but no reason to rely on it solely when you don't need to

[potent swift]

So hover over it and ctrl+c?

[astral badger]

How do people stack mana to like 10K+? I’m using MoM/EB with 4900 mana but to get tht high I had to buy expensive gear with 180-200+ increased max mana on every piece of gear possible

[rancid cipher]

I've noticed that recoup doesn't work with some damage, like the fire on the ground during maps. Is there a reason for this?

[merry bone]

Recoup only works on damage from a HIT

[crimson crag]

Dream fragment?

[hot pelican]

Not work?

[tidal copper]

should work sure
why dont you test yourself if you arent sure?

[atomic halo]

why would more attack speed change anything

it's per skill use

the question is, does a single use of tempest flurry actually move 2 meters

[tidal copper]

you can have almost perfect up time right?
do you have to cast again? maybe it breaks every few seconds and its more 20%?

[thorny token]

momentum does not have duration, you either moved enough during single skill use

or you didnt

it doesnt just randomly break it either works or not

[daring veldt]

hello, I was wondering if sorc/bloodmages/monk are good even without temporalis?

[merry bone]

yes

[daring veldt]

I am currently at endgame doing mapping as a deadeye but I was wondering if sorc/witch/monk would feel faster for mapping even without temporalis?

[daring veldt]

is it like same build but without temporalis?

[merry bone]

Deadeye gets the most movement speed without a blink set up

[daring veldt]

oh so other classes are slower than deadeye without temporalis set up?

[merry bone]

have you read tailwind? No other classes get that

[mint berry]

actually, I tested it and maybe i'm doing the calc wrong ): but it's not coming out correct

[daring veldt]

fair enough

[merry bone]

I guess Flicker monk may get faster once you can sustain power charges and are actually just flickering. I typically avoid suggesting Flicker, only because it can give people real issues watching that type of gameplay

[hybrid ocean]

Ah, see?

Let me double check on my end

[hot pelican]

Seems not work?

Maybe one hit is one single use

My APS is 10.64

[errant obsidian]

Hey guys, can i get some help pls? currently im at 8k es overflowing and CI and i want to switch to EV/ES CI, in pob with a 1 div investment i get to 76% evade and 6k ES is that enough and how can i improve my ev (except from gloves, helmet chest and boots) ?

[hot pelican]

Perhaps, it's not enough

[merry bone]

yes its enough - not getting hit 3/4 times (on average of course) means your ES isnt getting hit as much. And you can run Ghost Dance. And the other place to get evasion is nodes on your tree

[errant obsidian]

Ok, the last setup (76% ev) is with ev and es nodes on the tree without more than one div investment so i'll try that thanks 🙂

[mint berry]

nevermind, I found the calc!

it's correct! thank you ❤️

[hot pelican]

Oh, i know ,it just affect the end time of the skill, last use is new round

[plain cloud]

Hey I'm looking at Poison builds with a Bow and I looking at two builds - one using Gas Arrow + Vine Arrow and another using Poison Burst Arrow + Toxic Growth. Going for a Chaos damage scaling build - which setup would be better ?

[cosmic hawk]

I put my character into POB, and I saw a discrepancy. I just want to make sure it's not my fault.

My character currently has level 27 Lightning Arrow. 19 from gem and +8 from global modifiers.

I'm pretty sure that POB only sees 20 levels of skill gem. On the skills page, if I hover over Lightning Arrow, it says "Level: 19(+1)".

Am I right? Or is there something I'm missing?

The main thing that jumps out at me is mana cost. It says my LA costs 77 mana, but it's actually 119. I imagine this would impact the damage, but the hit dps listed on POB is pretty close to my sheet dps.

[forest laurel]

Is hammer of the gods melee chronomancer actually good?

[astral badger]

i recreated my build in POB and it's saying i have 4400 mana/348 regen, when in game i have 4700/725. anyone know why that might be?

[upper viper]

There is the everlasting gaze trick. If you have heard of it 😄

[astral badger]

I'm not sure I have?

[upper viper]

Do you have ES ?

[astral badger]

im not using everlasting gaze

my ES is converted to mana

[upper viper]

Ok, everlasting gaze. Just allows you to have ES again, with eldrich battery. So wanted to recommend that, but if you are already convering ES to Mana. Then you could try with the everlasting gaze amulet

before a shield fix i was at 12.4k mana

now at 9k

[lapis pine]

Are there any spark archmage stormweavers with high DPS that would be willing to take a look at my gear and setup if I send some screenshots or hop in a group and link them by chance? Just trying to brainstorm what is best to upgrade at this stage and what to work towards for better DPS/Bossing and also make sure I'm not missing anything critical on the passives. Lvl 94 DPS is currently 75k unbuffed.

[astral badger]

yeah ill def look into that. i was more concerned why POB is showing radically different stats than in-game

[upper viper]

i betcha, something isnt being calculated correctly. Still super early build 😄

[astral badger]

Figured - thanks!

[muted dagger]

Is anyone running ranger at endgame? If so how are you liking it?

[hybrid ocean]

Quite well- the speed is super cozy

[tulip fog]

i wish they would fix Incinerate soon in POB, not only is the 40% more damage per stage not working it refuses to accept the fire exposure even when manually toggled

[merry bone]

If you wish theyd fix something - do you also support them via patreon or Paypal?

[tulip fog]

i do not, no

[plush flame]

Does the crit chance on spark roll once /spell cast or each projectile separately?

[tulip fog]

this is just me expressing a sincere wish, not me complaining

i get that things takes time

its not like my build ingame stops working just because the POB doesnt work

[muted dagger]

Can ranger utilize herald of ice well?

I rlly wanna use it cuz it's super satisfying

[merry bone]

why wouldnt they be able to use it?

[muted dagger]

No clue tbh

I'm not the best with build stuff

All I know is there's weird math with alot of em and it loses me

I guess id just need to switch to ice shit and I'd be gold

[merry bone]

The math is irrelevant

[muted dagger]

*shot

But then I'd lose out on the lightning rod thing

[merry bone]

Herald ice - causes enemies you shatter to explode and do weapon dmg in an AOE

[muted dagger]

Which would suck

[lilac kite]

nobody helped me, 'Im sad

[merry bone]

All you need to do, is inflict enough cold damage to freeze - and as a result shatter - which triggers herald of ice.

[muted dagger]

Or would putting cold infusion on my lightning arrow and using the legendary ring that everyone's using work?

Yeah ok

And the ring should help alot from what I know

Porcikyln or smth like that

[merry bone]

Yep - now it just means you need to have the enemy chilled - not frozen

[muted dagger]

That's badass

[merry bone]

See - when you take a second and think through it - you aint that bad at the build stuff

[sage tulip]

Curious if I had Zealots oath and used a cannibalism support gem would that healing apply to my shields instead ?

[merry bone]

no

[sage tulip]

damn

[atomic halo]

zealot's oath is only regeneration.

cannibalism is "recover on kill" or smthlike that

[merry bone]

Vitality would

[atomic halo]

it has to specifically use the word regeneration for ZO to work with it

[quartz cairn]

What build uses Fireflower amulet?

[merry bone]

Cast on Minion Death stuff mostly

[sage tulip]

not sure vitality would work since I am picking up Chaos Inoculation just trying to find something to give me passive regen so I am not soly relying on my potions to recover it

[quartz cairn]

Ah I see. Thanks

[sage tulip]

this way from group to group its recovering I am using grim feast

[merry bone]

Faster Start of Recharge rate

[old oriole]

can i get max res just from two rings a helmet and boots?

[sage tulip]

hmm alright

[merry bone]

you mean like 75% res? Or the actual stat +Max Res?

[sage tulip]

though would that work with using Eternal Youth ?

[old oriole]

75%

[merry bone]

yea - rings can have like 150+

[merry bone]

Nope - but if you eternal youth - what are you trying to solve? Just use your potion

[sage tulip]

alright

[wintry palm]

hello guys i am playing a deadeye rn and i want to upgrade my build. Rn i am playing the tank build from fubgun and was wondering if i should upgrade to a crit build or is the lightning rod build better?

[merry bone]

Given you've been actively playing basically the same build. Why don't you just take a look at the guides and figure out which one you'd prefer to play? And which one you actually have the money or items to swap to?

I'd also take another glance at the guide you've been following given that Fubgun has played all of those variants I would imagine he most likely suggests which one you could or should play at different stages of your progression. Or what those builds excel in so that you know which one you should pick based on the content and level of content you're trying to run

[wintry palm]

ok thank you 🙂

[elfin gate]

What is everyone in the late game more comfy with for a spark stormweaver. I can't decided if I want to lean more toward a crit build or just pure dps with a lot of mana. I prefer a more comfy build that can do mostly mapping but also still handle bosses.

[plush crypt]

what are some overall good uniques to gamble? that dont have 1/1000000000 chance

[merry bone]

"Good" or expensive? Expensive ones all have that chance - otherwise they wouldnt be expensive

[plush crypt]

this is ssf so just something that is useful across a bunch of alts

[merry bone]

Sapphire Ring has 3 Hits - so thats pretty good

Same with Amethyst

if you are vendor gambling - i think amulet

[steady birch]

how does this skill work for charged staff in terms of single target?

after shocking hits, it does another shock, does it also apply to the same single target i've done shocking hits on to literally double down on the shock or nah?

[merry bone]

the shockwave caused by the Charged Staff - if it shocks - you get the spread

[plush crypt]

that does remind me of a question i had earlier, does the shock effect buff* the ability that inflicted it?

[steady birch]

yeah this question

im aware of the spread, im also wondering if it applies to the thing you hit on

[muted dagger]

Are there any quarterstaffs I should look out for? I'm using a herald of ice and lightning build rn

[merry bone]

High Phys dmg - crit/crit bonus/attack speed

[muted dagger]

Dopeee

No elemental?

[atomic halo]

just look for dps

includes both phys and ele

[muted dagger]

Alright!

[floral helm]

I am in need of a low tier waystone dealer. Preferably somebody who just has so many waystones that they do not mind selling them for the use of fodder.

I am willing to meet you in a back alley to make this exchange. I have some exalted orbs. We can do it on the nice down low and make it a clean trade.

I promise I'm not a narc.

((But seriously I need like all of the trash way stones))

[azure forge]

Now that poe2 builder is out, is there a general consensus of where to go to see builds with it? Maxroll doesn’t seem to integrate yet with it.

[merry bone]

The usual - reddit, discords, youtube

[azure forge]

Thanks! 🙏 I’ll keep a look out

[atomic halo]

youtube but only if you can sift through all the bait

which most cant

[potent swift]

Do I trust PoB dps or ingame? For example, in game removing Controlled destruction is losing dps. However, in PoB it is an increase.

[atomic halo]

pob has a lot of bugs, be careful with it

[merry bone]

It depends on if you have your configuration set up properly, and if POB is set up properly for things you are using. No way to know.

[floral helm]

Damn so much for my back alley waystone purchases... 🥲

[steady birch]

btw for howa does that 1 to 8 thing matter a lot say if i go down from 10 for +1% attack speed?

[merry bone]

Best thing you can do is test in game by going and hitting a unique and tracking dmg over numerous attempts

[merry bone]

Yes it matters alot. Does it offset 1 attack speed - that youd have to figure out based on all of your other gear/spec

[floral helm]

The answer is no, the possible two damage per hit is literally meaningless compared to getting an extra 1% attack speed for dexterity that you're already building into.

[steady birch]

10% attack speed vs 170 worth of int

of 2 lightning damage difference

not sure what's the right answer

[merry bone]

change of 1-10, to 1-8 on average is a loss of 21% damage per 10 int

[floral helm]

Right but if you're building to be used with the god staff It literally is not going to matter whatsoever.

[merry bone]

Where did I say it mattered more than the AS

[potent swift]

Feels and seems like enabling crits is better for dps. To be honest, I have no idea about the math involved

[merry bone]

Yes it matters - its a loss of dmg. Its a 21% loss of dmg per 10 int. How you weigh that, is up to you.

[floral helm]

You literally saying it matters a lot

[merry bone]

thanks for specifically showing the message that proves my point i guess?
