[floral helm]

It doesn't, it doesn't matter a lot. Because when you're flying around deleting entire maps in less than 5 minutes it does not matter a lot

🤣

[steady birch]

well then, maybe you guys know the answer to this one xd

[upper viper]

Yeah i saw it the other day with fubgun unique ish gemlim stacker. He was just flying thru the maps using howa

tho he had like 1-2m dps

[hearty ore]

What are good strong builds for stormweavers?

[floral helm]

Yeah see I just swapped off of quarterstaff gemling last night. Because after like 2 weeks of playing it my brain had gone fully smooth and completely flaccid.

Because it's that brainless.

[hearty ore]

like what popular builds are they doing?

[sharp void]

I'm following fubgun lightning arrow build and i'm probably approaching mid game I guess by doing t6's now.. I got my first divine orb and im not sure what to spend it on. I guess im kind of struggling for SOME maps depending on the rolls and event.. it seems like ritual alters are tough for some reason. im not sure a divine is enoguh to upgrade my bow.. was thinking maybe a cheaper hand of wisdom and action.. what do you guys think? my bow is 227 dps.. i think the next jump up in dps is goign to cost me more then a divine it seems.

[steady birch]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/archmage-spark-stormweaver-build-guide#skills-header ive tried this one it worked well

[upper viper]

Yeah i would not do that kind of build. Well i would love to try it maybe for like a few maps, but then go back to a more clicky build. So it feels like i am acturally doing something, and not just holding down one button.
I like my Gemling inpending doomer 😄

[floral helm]

That's hilarious because I just went chaos with mine.

I spent like 2 days messing around with double two-handers for funsies.

[upper viper]

You can always save up for the howa, but you dont want to switch to howa. Without the like 300-500 INT, to really feel the howa. From my useage, if you plan is to use howa, slowly upgrade your gear. So you have more total INT and defences of course!

[sharp void]

ah that makes sense..

[upper viper]

Hows it feeling, i am scaling inpending doom with archmage. Fun to map with !

[sharp void]

or else its not beneficial

[upper viper]

Yeah you want the int, of course factor in other stuff before switching 😉

[sharp void]

I feel like the divine really opened up my world haha but now i just have no ide awhere to spend it.. its funny.. before the divine i was sitting at like always 6-7 ex hahaha

[floral helm]

See I'm actually trying something I just saw a snippet of last night. Let me see if I can find it for you because it looks fun as hell.

I'm just currently getting the gold to do the last of my spec etc at the moment. So I haven't actually used it yet.

[upper viper]

Look at your body armour, and also look at your evasion and gear, see if you can improve it. If you have ES as well, find a good mix Evasion / ES gear 😄

[floral helm]

https://youtube.com/shorts/9UnG0Sh_CAA?si=hG1kFGOTsc7vgN8y

[upper viper]

Ahh okay, and sure do share. I am always looking for something to try as well

[sharp void]

yeah my armor could use an upgrade I guesss..

[upper viper]

Ah i saw that one, i am using Gemling for inpending doom. To get the handful of mana, so i can stack it with archmage

[upper viper]

Yeah, i dont know what your total resistance is. But 10-15% on gear, is kinda meh, going up in waystone tiers.

DOnt be like me, and run around with less then 60% total in C😂

[sharp void]

I already am like you 🙂

[floral helm]

Yeah I'm willing to bet yours is pretty solid overall. I'm running generally a more glass canon type. With the simple idea that everything else dies before I do lol

[upper viper]

Still better then me

[sharp void]

jeeez

[upper viper]

Kinda the same here, tho i do feel quite tanky

before a hotfix XD
My mana was nice

[upper viper]

Going to use archmage as well ?

And arcane intensity, pure power ?

[floral helm]

Not really sure yet I'm kind of winging it.

I need to find somebody to supply just all of the low tier waystones Because my gold coffers are empty

And it's painful

[upper viper]

Dm me your ign, i got a litte handful of 1-2-3 waystones

yeah i winged half of my build, saw it and was like. I want to make something similar XD

[sonic pollen]

How does the multiplier work? Is it like example 1-6 then just doubles for every X int? Or

[vast plover]

Does Deadeye have the fastest map clearing speed besides builds that involve Temporalis because of movement speed?

[thorny token]

people stacking attack speed with howa are also faster so no rly

[upper viper]

from my understanding 10 INT 1-10 DMG.
20 Int 2-20 DMG. But i could be completely wrong, as i havent really used the gloves much. Switched out for another build 😄

[vast plover]

do you have any resource related to that build? I really like builds that move fast and i cant afford temporalis so looking for the next best thing xP

[thorny token]

well its mostly either ice strike or tempest flurry and bunch of attack speed\

[upper viper]

I am currently looking at Fubguns, stacker. That use alot of uniques
https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/fubgun-attribute-stacker
This could inspire something ?

[sonic pollen]

Ok so same idea as I had.... Definitely can see how that can get out of control quick lol

[upper viper]

haha yeah, and here is his endgame setup with the gems https://pobb.in/3iwLa9RvgkQd

[old oriole]

can someone help me buy the relics i need to play this without issues?

[upper viper]

Some good ol. honour resistance and increased defence, is always nice

[gloomy lantern]

How much evasion rating is good for lightning arrow deadeye build. I am at 6378 after buffs

[little hemlock]

Anybody know any good current cold snap mage builds? Saw that ice mage got nerfed but there has to be a way also should i go staff, wand/woven wand/sceptre i know minions is busted but i dont want to do that since its pretty lame imo

[twilit cairn]

what should i socket into this 1 as an ice strike monk ??

[old oriole]

couldn't get those on one relic

[muted dagger]

Any chance someone could help me with my support gems?

[sonic pollen]

Will peep that in a bit.... I. Definitely a bit off probably making that buy but it's definitely an interesting item

[lusty ingot]

This is my skill tree right now, kinda need some more dmg and i have no idea where to go to, can anyone suggest something?

[sonic pollen]

Grab 2 gems for the empty sockets

[quartz cairn]

I followed the Zizaran build which takes a lot of the crit stuff and I don't lack for damage at tier 15 stuff.

[muted dagger]

What support gems are best for these abilities?

Running a ice and lightning herald monk

[lusty ingot]

what should i go for

[muted dagger]

Feels weird not having stuff sloted into all of em lmaoo

[lusty ingot]

Zizaran?

[waxen jewel]

So there's no way to equip 2 shields simultaneously?

I need to get clever if so

[quartz cairn]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/gav70mha

[sonic pollen]

+quarterstaff damage and attack speed is what I put in

[quartz cairn]

That's the build. You can also look up "zizaran ice strike monk" on YouTube. Zizaran is a big poe content creator.

[lusty ingot]

where do i get some

[waxen jewel]

I also wonder how would Mana Burn interact with Pyromantic Pact (infernalist ascendancy that replaces mana).
Though I'd be surprised if anyone knew

[plush flame]

Does Spark's crit chance roll for each projectile separately?

[muted dagger]

I have lightning infusion on my herald of ice, and cold infusion on my herald of lightning, what other support gems can I use to make them proc each other more?

[tropic talon]

Hi, you think mace skill armour breaker with dual wield (40% more atk speed) is viable in term of dps vs mace strike ?

[waxen jewel]

I rephrase: How does Pyromantic Pact (infernalist ascendancy that replaces mana) work with effects that consume mana?

[sonic pollen]

Just trade for them.... They are like 10-20 ex each

[lusty ingot]

dont even know what "ex'" is lol

[sonic pollen]

Exalted orbs

[lusty ingot]

i have 1

[tropic talon]

Anyone have the base delve of level max mace strike vs max armor breaker ?

[waxen jewel]

I don't really get the logic of lightning infusion on Herald of Ice. It's not like the Herald of Ice is the one that needs to shock the monster (assuming Herald of Ice is used with Innervate)

[golden violet]

What ssfhc build would you recommend for semi experienced player that is not titan, infernalist or la deadeye?

[muted dagger]

Its so they proc eachother!

If herald of ice shocks than it procs herald of lightning, which then does cold therefore procing herald of ice

[waxen jewel]

Does Herald of Ice explosion actually consume the Herald of Thunder stack?

[muted dagger]

Unless I'm dum and that's not what yur asking

I thinkk

All I know is it kills alot

And I see em proc at the same time all the time

[waxen jewel]

Only thing I know is that lightning infusion is not necessarily that good idea. All depends of course on gear and content you are playing

[muted dagger]

True

[waxen jewel]

And I have tested it quite a bit on my shitty ssf gear

Trading brings you probably tons more Added cold/lightning damage which skews the damage more that way

[muted dagger]

I'm using howa for lighting atm

Works wonders

[tropic talon]

I have the idea to make infernalist, with pyromantic pact for solve mana problem and do backslash (make active recently hit atk speed node) with grinning immolation for 30% more crit damage and use armor breaker dual wield > sunder auto crit

[muted dagger]

Then using the unique ring for cold

[waxen jewel]

Howa is some warrior slam or?

[tropic talon]

You think is possible ?

[muted dagger]

Oops

Wrong one

My bad

[waxen jewel]

Start equipping those runes! :D

[muted dagger]

There we go

[waxen jewel]

Ohh right of course, this stat stick

[muted dagger]

Mhmm

[waxen jewel]

That sure might bring your lightning damage to such numbers that shit like that could work

[muted dagger]

Yessirr

I rlly only need enough to proc herald

[tropic talon]

Anyone have advice for me ? I like armor breaker mace skill but dont know if is possible or not for main skill

[viscid niche]

Anyone semi good with path of building ? Just have a very simple question. Default is weapon set module 1 but I want it to be both 1/2 and cannot find where to change 🙂 So my passives are for both weapon sets

[waxen jewel]

Just remember that skills tagged Payoff cannot cause the ailment they trigger from

[robust scroll]

sorry if wrong channel to ask, how much this cost usually?

[muted dagger]

I got mine for 2 ex

[waxen jewel]

#price-check📉

[robust scroll]

ok ty :D

[quartz cairn]

They're pretty common, so, not much. A few ex if the rolls are good, that one is on middle of cold dmg

[old oriole]

which is better max honour increased or increased defences?

[misty bloom]

How much div I can sell this for?

[old oriole]

2 or so

[misty bloom]

Why?It has +1 melee skill for corruption

Its not worth it in late game?

[old oriole]

not many ppl who uses this unique also uses melee

oh it is worth it

but i could also be wrong

try looking in trade site

[sonic pollen]

Idk sounds sick for my monk lol

[old oriole]

yeea same price 2 or 3 div

[thorny dagger]

do you have howa?

also get the invoker ascendancy skill that makes you crits ignore enemy res

[lusty ingot]

dont know what that is

[thorny dagger]

shit goes nuclear

[lusty ingot]

i kinda fucked up everything

[tropic talon]

Anyone have the delve of mace strike like level 32 vs armor breaker 32 ?

[thorny dagger]

hand of wisdom and action

you kinda want to invest all in crits

[lusty ingot]

changed up my build now my support gems are unusable

[thorny dagger]

do you have pob?

i can share my skill tree

[lusty ingot]

please do

i cant find these things lol

[thorny dagger]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/pob/p87ar0yn

my build is not the best but i feel confortable at t15+

[delicate mauve]

Anyone know whether PoB is able to differentiate between the various Vorana jewels? I'd like to find a suitable one that unlocks Natural Energies notes.

[lusty ingot]

still cant find this howa thing

[thorny dagger]

gloves slot

hand of wisdom and action

[lusty ingot]

oooh

no i dont

dont have m

[thorny dagger]

with good enough crit stats you can confortably clear t15 maps even without howa

[queen violet]

Mobility options for a high int warrior? :

[thorny dagger]

if you're not flicker strike monk

you can abandon +power charge nodes

and the one that counts as using 2 of em

[lusty ingot]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/tempest-flurry-invoker#skills-header

im following this

kinda

[thorny dagger]

and invest at crit nodes below herald stuff

[lusty ingot]

well originally i went for this but i completed the skil tree at like lvl 65

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/tempest-flurry-invoker-leveling-guide#summary-header

[fiery briar]

any idea when link skills are coming?

[grand sentinel]

Heroic Tragedy Jewel... I'm looking at one specific jewel slot & 1 specific cluster of nodes... is there an easy way to look at the 7900 possible combinations to find which #s give the best tragedy nodes.

[atomic halo]

... no

the only thing you know beforehand is the keystone

everything else you have no way to determining before you actually socket it into your tree

[zinc lagoon]

almost done with acts, dunno where to go with my monk, what are really strong builds atm? flicker still alive?

[grand sentinel]

but there is because maxroll has that information... besides typing in each #100 through 8,000 and looking at the outcomes 1 by 1...

[atomic halo]

can you link it?

from what i knew we have no idea of what it gves before you actually socket it, but maybe i missed something

[grand sentinel]

just go to maxroll build planner put heroic tragedy jewel in... and it shows what the outcomes are for the jewel slot and nod cluster

but i really don't feel like typing in 7900 possibilities to find out what the 20-30 best #s are for a specific jewel slot

[atomic halo]

https://www.reddit.com/r/PathOfExile2/comments/1ho83fc/heroic_tragedy_a_tragedy_indeed_maxroll_planner/

hmm

[grand sentinel]

also.... there has to be something to this.... it gives a notable id:browse

[atomic halo]

i searched it up and every time maxroll is referenced the replies say it's wrong

which makes sense, as i dont think it's cracked yet, as i said

[orchid swift]

can a fellow ice strike monk send me a pic of their gear, need to be able to clear tier 15 maps easily

[kindred barn]

How damage is converted? Does it convert only base damage?

[atomic halo]

correct

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

[kindred barn]

Oh ignition won't be converted?

That sucks

[atomic halo]

wdym

the more chance to ignite support?

if you convert to fire, that fire damage will have more chance to ignite

[grand sentinel]

give me a sec to log back in... need to update my chest and a ring on maxroll.

[light island]

does anyone know if you can put ascendancy points into POB?

[atomic halo]

yeah

[light island]

how? i cant seem to figure it out?

[atomic halo]

do you see the asc tree?

you need to set the correct class and ascendancy

at the top

to allocate points in the given tree

[atomic halo]

zoom out

[light island]

found it niceone!

[heady oxide]

What build can I do with an 84% ingenuity

And these rings

Anyone got advice

[tough crow]

Besides the Prism of Belief Diamond, is there any way to scale Plague nova/Plague Bearer skill since its not a spell. all ive seen is +to spells

[grand sentinel]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/8c1ze01a

pushing towards 98 with that

[kindred barn]

I thought I will deal cold damage with ignite thru blueflame bracers

[grand sentinel]

weapon isn't ideal & still need to work on jewels but i'm pushing 300k unbuffed

[kindred barn]

I don't feel like I am getting any cold damage increase from regular converted fire dmg either tho

[atomic halo]

you will not ignite in the first place

because you will deal cold damage

which, by default, cannot ignite

and even if you did ignite with the cold damage

it would still deal fire damage over time because damage over time cannot be converted

[kindred barn]

mana flare does ignite in cold spells, but I thought of you using additional fire spells on top anyway

[atomic halo]

why would the mana flare damage not get converted

[kindred barn]

I don't know if it does or not, I just don't feel it
I have like full cold damage increase tree and yet I barely have any damage with converted fire

So I am trying to find what exactly I messed up or don't understand

[atomic halo]

your understanding seems to be correct, getting inc. cold instead of fire

[kindred barn]

But I barely do any damage with fire spells

[atomic halo]

[kindred barn]

Same

and that's the issue lmao

[lone ravine]

Should I keep this unique staff or should I buy a high dps/crit damage staff from trade?

[sour basin]

i can summon up to 8 sunder fissures as aftershocks. if the initial cast was ancestrally boosted will all the aftershocks be ancestrally boosted?

[cyan plover]

is this worth one div?

or is this one better ?

[night radish]

I would not pay a div for that

[atomic halo]

yeah both are not impressive

[night radish]

40ex sounds pricey but it might be worth

[sour basin]

the top one is more limiting since you have to use cold/fire and use dex for it to be useful compared to pretty much all stats besides mana/acc could be not useful

[dull eagle]

what is this status effect? never seen it before

[kindred barn]

I do inflict freeze with fire spell without having any skill gems to do that - shouldn't I not being able to do so?

[atomic halo]

well, you have convert to cold, don't you?

[kindred barn]

oh, right

sorry, I need to go sleep already I guess

[hazy plank]

Hey, Struggling with a pure Cold build, is ther any viable ones?

[nocturne jetty]

Is it a good idea to try to acquire all your res from rings, ammy and belt; so you don't have to find it on gear?

[fiery briar]

other way around usually

rings, amulet, belt, etc usually have slots that are useful for other things

[hollow bronze]

Looking to add a Screen clear to my monk lighting any skills I should use

[shadow blade]

anyone got any tips on how i can get comet to happen more frequently with minions? they dont seem to be dying fast enough, have the amulet but not enough sadly

[spare root]

any good atlas trees to follow? lvl71 with tier 7 maps atm

[lilac kite]

in this situation, is it better to drop the bonus mana and rarity for the resists? Act 5

[hybrid obsidian]

i seem to see a lot of variance here, anyone familair and hav a n opinion on spark storm using a focus vs shield, it seems that small variance in skill tree to use the shield effectively and it makes a lot easier to get all your res but at th cost of es and a lot of damage? am i understanding the difference or is there some other nuance that makes it more important?

[lone ravine]

How bad does +7 meleee hurt mana ? Is it manageable ?

[waxen jewel]

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

[night shadow]

is anyone here very good at POB configuration? I need some help 😦

[spare quartz]

I've got 100k poison concoction damage but just died trying to take out a level 82 map boss after running out of charges, how can i get better flask sustain

Using deapair and plague barrier to help with flask charges

I didn't expect so much health on a 82 boss

[modern crane]

I never played non-Pathfinder Ranger.
What skills does Deadeye use? Elemental arrow stuff usually?

[spice abyss]

anyone that can help a noob out?

[night pine]

How can I see my %/Have 100% chance to shock?

[tender vine]

hi i'm running infernalist witch with reavers and snipers with 2 clerics and 1 storm mage. how do i calculate my dps for this build?

[thorny token]

whatever proj skill you want

im playing poison crossbow deadeye for example

[night shadow]

is anyone here very good at POB configuration? I need some help 😦

[formal violet]

Don't ask to ask! Post your question here so that people actually know if they can help. It's also better to discuss your question publicly so more people can chime in or learn! That's why these channels are here!

[old crescent]

What is the best piece i can buy with 1 divine for an ice strike monk with no gear?

[atomic halo]

weapon

attack build = always weapon

[old crescent]

Is pillar of caged god good or should i just go max phys

[night shadow]

I have manually configured the PoB with all the passives, gear, and skill gems, but PoB shows a higher DPS for my main skill than the DPS displayed in the game. Is there any default configuration in PoB that causes it to show higher damage?

[atomic halo]

pob has a lot of bugs

[thin basin]

Gem levels? Did u click

[atomic halo]

ingame doesnt show a lot of stuff

[night shadow]

ok. so we just roll whit it. The point is if I simulate a item in POB and I see damage increase chances are that I will see the dmg increase ingame as well.

thank you!

[hybrid obsidian]

am i supposed to be reforging maps into higher teir ones or just getting sustain?

like as i progress

[atomic halo]

reforge if needed, it helps

[hybrid obsidian]

if my quest is t3s shou dli typically have enough

thats what i thought just didn waste bunch ty

[heady oxide]

Anyone here able to recommend me a build where these rings can be used please

[modern crane]

are you telling me that the +1 projectile from Deadye, literally just doubles dmg on some Mercenary skills? 😮

[heady oxide]

I also have a 84% ingenuity

[eternal raptor]

do you mean crossbow skills

[fiery briar]

cant multiple projectiles from the same skill not hit the same enemy?

[eternal raptor]

if you have only 1 proj then yea sure its double dmg as long as the skill can overlap

i'm thinking about a crit build with choir of the storm and cast on crit/shock
option are bloodmage, stormweaver or invoker
do i need archmage that bad?

[sage gyro]

so on poe db i can see what mods an item can have. is there a way to see what that mod can be on? like, this mod can appear on shields an gloves

[static spade]

Hello guys, I have my Fireball on 20% qty (10% chance +2 projectiles) on Cast on Minion death and also I got passive that gives a total pf 69% chance +2 projectiles. But I notice I have only been launching 1 projectile of fireball all the time, is this normal?

[jade locust]

how much CDR do I need on temporalis for blink with ingenuity?

[fast wind]

demonflame max 10 should i pump some damage in my tree

[hybrid ocean]

Ingenuity is recovery rate, so it doesn't change anything. Depending on the level of your blink gem, around 3.6

[viral crag]

How much value is this ES Stun Threshold cluster?

Like do you see an average life caster expecting to get stunned less often while mapping with something like this, or is it negligible?

Stun threshold just feeling like a bit of a black box to me atm 😦

[stiff hinge]

Does inc% ele dmg apply to the local damage on the weapon or does it add with the other sources like on the tree

[thorny token]

there are no sources of local increased elemental damage for weapons in poe2

so global

[tough valley]

Latter

[thorny token]

there was one in poe1 but that one just says increased elmental damage and nothing else which makes it local

[umbral vine]

anyone using poba?
wrong dmg calculation only for me?

[stiff hinge]

:T Wack, ok.

[thorny token]

for what

[umbral vine]

trying now just 1 skill, storm wave

[steep chasm]

what should I put 4 ascendancy points in? (running a lightning build)

[umbral vine]

it calcs fine for you?

[thorny token]

for most of stuff yea

[toxic pier]

shock effect, I am the Thunder, Critical Chance, Sunder my Enemies...

or alternatively, unbound avatar replacing the latter 2

[spare root]

how important is rarity stat?

[fast wind]

the most

[spare root]

fr? how much to go minimum

[umbral vine]

can you show poba skill? how you added it with links

[thorny token]

just add skill and then add links under it

like so

[umbral vine]

yes seems almost same

[tidal copper]

As a melee character what can you do vs temporal bubbles?

[thorny token]

cry

[tidal copper]

sounds about right...

[umbral vine]

totems dont work on them?

[tidal copper]

flicker strike is tickling the bubbles

[toxic pier]

use aoe abilities or stack attack speed

not much you can do as melee

[mint veldt]

hey guys, do you know if there is any way to have no movement penalty when using a skill? pathfinder running assault and the mobility support gem reduces it but is there any way to remove it completly?

[toxic pier]

haha unfortunately not, get higher movement speed boots but thats about it

you can also look for movement speed implicit on chest

[mint veldt]

Would be a fun build to plan lol

[umbral vine]

@thorny token Do you know are there poba related discord server?

[thorny token]

well if you found some issu you can open it on pob github

[umbral vine]

nah i have dumb questions about how to use it

[thorny token]

can just ask here then i guess

if its something specific

[umbral vine]

how to add item from trade there?

[thorny token]

whisper someone with the item and then ctrl-c the item from whisper message

[mint veldt]

right now im playing frostbolt with scatter shot and I feel so slow, I think a faster character would be more fun to play

[stiff hinge]

Has anyone here tried to play phys crossbow skills?

[thorny token]

and paste to pob

no other way atm as GGG did not added copy button to poe2 trade site

[umbral vine]

oh lol :)

[thorny token]

poe1 had one

[jovial blade]

is there a website where it list all the possible affixes of an item?

[hybrid ocean]

https://www.poe2db.tw

[scenic oak]

is cast speed only for spells and not attacks?

[merry bone]

Craftofexile

[jovial blade]

Thanks!

[thorny token]

yes, cast speed is spells and attack speed attacks

[jovial blade]

is this poe2?

[merry bone]

yes - there is a link right on the main page for poe2

[compact wren]

why additional arrow on bows so expensive always? Is that a massiv boost to the dmg?

[merry bone]

yes

if you have 1 arrow - and you add 2 more - you tripled your dmg

[compact wren]

Does poe2 tooltip consider amount of arrow by dps calculation?

[merry bone]

it shouldnt

[compact wren]

another stupid question... arrow and projectile is the same, right?

[merry bone]

no. arrows ARE projectiles - but projectiles dont have to be arrows

[compact wren]

I see. Thank you

[errant wyvern]

Is there anyway to add electrocute to my gemling sparker without killing my shock chances? I kinda like the enemy not being able to charge at me

[merry bone]

those gloves? Kitokos

[errant wyvern]

lemme check those out. Thanks

[merry bone]

or gonna need to put it on a separate ability from your main. Or get your shock from a separate ability and put electrocute on your main

[timid smelt]

lightning rod or wild storm on sparkl with 33% crit chance?

[distant tendon]

Whaats up with this bruh

[opal bobcat]

Are there jewels which can increase the effect of notable passive skills?

[merry bone]

why are you searching for ES that way anyways? Just use the equipment filter and set how much ES you want

[distant tendon]

;d

[merry bone]

No helm can get 30 Life regen per second

[opal bobcat]

How do people reach over 200 life regen?

[merry bone]

The reason your first search failed was because '# to Maximum Energy Shield' actually has 2 different affixes in the list - and you must have selected the wrong one (no real way to know which one is right or wrong from the trade site interface, just gotta choose the other)

[merry bone]

They get Life regen on every piece of gear - and then jewls with Life Regeneration RATE

[opal bobcat]

Ah my problem is that the only pieces of gear that I can get life regen from are helmet gloves and boots, not sure how effect with that be then

life regeneration rate increases it by %?

[merry bone]

yep

[opal bobcat]

Hmm I see

Is it from a specific jewel type or any jewel

[merry bone]

i feel like its Ruby specific

Yep - Ruby only

[opal bobcat]

But in that case wouldn't regen rate be kinda bad since I can only get regen from helmet + boots? So I'm capped at around maybe 50-60 regen before applying bonus regenration rate

[merry bone]

i cant really tell you if its bad - because i have no idea what you're trying to do. Just responding to the info youve provided

[opal bobcat]

Trying to get enough regen for demonflame

For now I got around 220 max HP

Could possibly use a rare belt instead of the unique that I use rn, if it could help enough with regen

[fast wind]

im interested in the demonflame

the problem im having is just the balance of regen and resis

[merry bone]

There are a load of guides out ther for how to maintain demon form - id suggest pulling one up and checking it out directly. They have the same issue of using the unique chest & rings - so they clearly solved for it somehow

You basically do need max rolls on all the other slots - and have to go hard into regen rate

[fast wind]

true but for leveling im sticking with max 10 untill i can get those max rolled gear

and i've having to supplement some extra damage from the tree

[grim bay]

Any Sparkweavers care to show me what im doing wrong? my DPS is lacking for my gear (at least i thin) following a build but their numbers vs my numbers is staggering.

[merry bone]

wheres your planner link? (not the guide - your actual set up)

[distant tendon]

how do i filter so it doesnt show max life rolls

[hearty crest]

I don't play monk, is this worth rerolling to one?

[merry bone]

use a NOT filter

[merry bone]

absolutely not

[toxic pier]

absolutely yes. I rerolled monk recently and its so fking busted

that staff is missing "Adds X physical damage" tho

[merry bone]

But that staff is not worth rerolling for....

and that was the question lol

[toxic pier]

agreed

oh i see, yeah my bad

[hearty crest]

I do have Polcirkeln tho does make any difference? or still not a good enough for a reroll?

[merry bone]

nah that staff is terrible

[hearty crest]

good to know, I'm new to POE so still learning

[hybrid obsidian]

hey can someoen tell me why i have to type /invite instead of right clicking inviting peple?

like someone in chat will ask to join me and i right lick then the invite button is just dead , and i have to type /invite playername

[haughty drift]

Any interesting builds I can use Headhunter in? Rolled one but not quite sure where I can put it

I'm levelling a stat stacker gemling but feels like Ingenuity clears headhunter in that build

[opaque horizon]

does energy shield recharge rate go to mana when you have eldritch battery?

[merry bone]

Nope - its not energy shield

[opaque horizon]

Didn't think so. Thank you.

[merry bone]

sounds like you sell the HH to invest into rings for the stacker then - since ingenuity is only as valuable as your rings are good

[haughty drift]

Yeah I'm thinking that as well

I might save it for a deadeye ig I already got some pretty juiced rings

Headhunter is such a cool drop to get but its rough that it doesn't fit in my builds lol

[merry bone]

Ice Shot with HH was fun - better now with the increase in rares

[haughty drift]

Maybe it runs well on Fresh Clip... I won't sell it for the theorycrafting commit

[stiff hinge]

What convenient ways are there to generate rage on a spellcaster?

[stiff hinge]

i dropped mine (self found) and its fun on any build that can lose the res. Fixes attributes too. Big fan of it.

[haughty drift]

Oh I imagine its immensely fun yeah headhunter is a blast

[merry bone]

Font of Rage. B ut why would you want Rage on a caster?

[haughty drift]

I might level fubguns deadeye build to run this tbh

[grim bay]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/passive-tree/518jr05f

[haughty drift]

Oh shit fubgun actually recommends headhunter in the build

Time to level another ranger

[grim bay]

This is what im using. but my raw dps on my gems isnt really matching the person im following. even though i have gear he didnt in the builds.

[rain bone]

How does rounding work for "Low Life"? In particular, if I have CI, am I always on low life or never on low life?

[merry bone]

1/1 life is not low life

its always full life - or dead i guess

[dreamy flame]

Hey is anyone using Path of Building and know how to allocate number of each minion? I have 12 Arsonists but currently the calcs page suggests its only including 1 of them (looking at spirit usage)

[stiff hinge]

That'd work but it's kinda slow. hm.
I use hateforge on some of my builds w/ charge infusion, I wanted to see if I could fit it on my bonestorm character.

[spare root]

is 93 magic find enough?

[heady palm]

I remember in PoB, there was a way to see DPS on each support - is that still a thing in pob2?

[dreamy flame]

ye

[heady palm]

Ah, it has to be socketed into something, right? otherwise no work?

[merry bone]

But Rage only does things for melee dmg - so why for bonestorm? Ahh got it - missed that line on Hateforges - hmmm...

[merry bone]

You just sent the tree - where the full planner?

[stiff hinge]

Bonestorm + Power charge makes it a very good aoe skill with snakepit.
Charge infusion is 20% more crit chance, 17% more defenses (ES), 12% more skill speed if I can have all 3 charges.
I was using the conduit chest for power charges, but I lose out on an ES chest. Besides that, it does have really good results w/ bonestorm.

Hateforge gives me all 3 charges -- but I need rage.

[rain bone]

sadge, but makes sense

sadge but balanced

[stiff hinge]

So it turns bonestorm into an aoe skill and crit caps me basically. But I wanted to get the 17% more def and 12% more skill speed for funsies using hateforge, since gloves are not as hard as chest. but tricky to figure out the rage part.

[grim bay]

Forgive me, new to this. ill get you that

[rain bone]

I was hoping the calculation was something like 35% of 1 = 0.35 -> rounds to 1

[merry bone]

Chances are you are just missing something from the guide. Anywhere you needed to sacrifice a little bit of spell dmg - or went from +6 levels to +5, or maybe some mana here or there. They seem like small compromises - but they are huge. Another thing - Jewels. The amount of dmg you can pull out of Jewels is insane. So if the guide has really good jewels and you dont - theres your damage

[stiff hinge]

:T I can get rage when hit by enemies easy enough but that's... really annoying to rely on in bosses.

and the rage on hit jewels specify melee hit.

Resonance + combat frenzy is an easy alternative for the power charge chest, but i really wanted to make sure of the skill speed and defenses. hmm..

[tribal raft]

If you have +1 additional arrow on bows does it also do double the damage then or can you only do 1 instance of damage to a single enemy and its only for aoe clear?

[solar spindle]

does anyone know if rage gained on hit rounds up when increasing the effect?

[merry bone]

most things dont round - they truncate

[stiff hinge]

Depends on the skill.

...and the application.

What skill are you asking about?

[solar spindle]

so for example, if i use a corrupted jewel with rage gained on hit with the adorned jewel, i would need a 100% adorned jewel to get 2 rage on hit?

[merry bone]

i assume you mean a jewel that has 1 rage on hit on it - and you want 2 - yes, you would need a 100% adorned

[tribal raft]

@stiff hinge I use poisonburst arrow so it’s just more or less normal arrow shots

[stiff hinge]

If you have 2 arrows and the aoe are large enough, pretty sure you get two hits on the overlapping area. This is the case w other aoe skills.

[tribal raft]

@stiff hinge and I play less for the poison stacks and dmg in my build and I focus more on getting as much physical dmg with arrows

@stiff hinge so it’s less likely to work on bosses then right? That’s my biggest problem atm

[stiff hinge]

more likely if their bodies are big and depends on your aoe

also with 2 proj you feel the pain of the aoe because they make like a V pattern so if your aoe is small its awkward af

3 proj feels better cause its like \|/

[orchid helm]

Just curious, do these extra shocks applied by Coursing Current contribute to a cast on shock setup?

My instinct is no, but if they do that would be incredible for clear

[heady oxide]

Guys

I need help

[merry bone]

as is typically the case when people post in the help section - whats up

[tulip fog]

is the resistance penalty in act 6 (before you fight the act boss) the same as the resistance penalty in maps? or do you get another 10% penalty after fighting the act boss?

trying to make sure i get just enough resistances

[merry bone]

-10 after doryani. You come out campaign at -40 to each element (as long as you got the +10s in each act)

[tulip fog]

ah, so if im in apex of filth atm in act 6 i will get another 10% penalty before i hit maps?

[merry bone]

correct

[tulip fog]

that was what i feared, dangit

[grim bay]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/id8ly05l here is the build planner with gear and all. I admit there could be a 1-2 better jewls but is that worth the 80K+ i should be getting?

[merry bone]

cool - you got the guide youve been following?

[grim bay]

I do.

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/profile/cf5503d9-b3c4-491d-b1aa-971842b43303/builds/3f44c934-3e97-419c-9c3d-3981ded2620e?widgets-state=eyJmN2Q4MjEwMi03ZTc3LTRhNDQtYWQyNC0zM2I2N2U4YWU3YmYiOnsiZmlsdGVycyI6eyJhY3RpdmVWYXJpYW50SWQiOiI0M2E5MzI1NS02ZGU4LTQ0Y2UtODQ3MC00NTUxODc1ODg5MjEifSwidHlwZW5hbWUiOiJOZ2ZEb2N1bWVudENtV2lkZ2V0Q29udGVudFZhcmlhbnRzVjEifX0

[daring veldt]

I got hand of wisdom today. Does it makes a huge difference if lighting is 1 to 8 instead of 1 to 10? will it be a huge dmg difference?

[merry bone]

OK - so like every piece of gear - they just have "more". Boots have flat int. Helm has maxroll flat int. Double Cast speed rings being scaled - bigger cast speed on shield. More cast speed and flat int on weapon. And i havent even gotten to his jewels. You seem to be running alot of Crit jewels but dont seem to have any real crit support - not sure whats going on there.

their gear is just all better than yours - and that is an exponential difference in the overall dmg when you add all the increases and multipliers.

id also assume they are using a level 20 spark - so their base dmg starts higher than yours

[merry bone]

On average 1-8 is 19% worse than 1-10

[daring veldt]

so should i just keep using it or try to sell it back and get a better one?

[merry bone]

can you afford a better one?

[grim bay]

what do you suggest? i dump the crit?

[daring veldt]

i got this for 2 divine, i was only able to invite this person out of all the others as i can really use an upgrade in my build

[merry bone]

not suggesting anything - you just have some kind of random crit rolls on those jewels, but dont seem to have enough crit multi for it to be worthwhile. So either you are gonna go crit, and you should pick up good crit mods - or you arent, and then your jewels are kind of wasting stats

[tulip fog]

is it worth paying extra exalts for an item just to fill up 2% resistances you are missing?

i can get a much cheaper item for that slot if i dont require it to have that extra resist roll

[merry bone]

you are just starting maps right? if so, and money is tight - being 2% under is no issue

[tulip fog]

money isnt super tight but i am saving up for a new weapon

[ashen cargo]

Does anyone know how to force the filter to show items that either have one stat or another? So for example show me all rings with implicit chaos resist or normal chaos resistance?

[merry bone]

Count

[tulip fog]

i got about 40 exalt (thanks to selling a white stellar amulet) and im saving up for a weapon that is like 1 divine

[ashen cargo]

So I use count

[tulip fog]

and my cold res is at 73%

[ashen cargo]

But my count list is like 15 items long

[ashen cargo]

My count list is very long. So I want to use the count list PLUS a requirement to have some kind of chaos resist

[merry bone]

do 2 counts.....

[thin basin]

then add another count filter

[ashen cargo]

Oh my goodness

You guys are genius 👏

[tidal copper]

Im playing in the warrior side of the tree
I know its a terrible idea but how do i find accuracy?

[merry bone]

Rings get big rolls.

[tidal copper]

you need around 1400 accuracy
Ill need both rings with the right implcit and ill miss evasive enemies

this is very absurd oh well maybe it isnt meant to be

[static spade]

Hello guys, I have my Fireball on 20% qty (10% chance +2 projectiles) on Cast on Minion death and also I got passive that gives a total pf 69% chance +2 projectiles. But I notice I have only been launching 1 projectile of fireball all the time, is this normal?

[merry bone]

Gloves also get big rolls

---

[snow tangle]

is there a reason why people only run 1 dream frag at a time?

[merry bone]

most likely they need stuff from the second ring

ring is a pretty big cast speed roll. gotta get res somewhere. Rarity, flat mana roll.

[tidal carbon]

Is increase damage a good stat from val orb?

[merry bone]

sure - its increased damage. May not be what you wanted though

[fast glen]

Hey y'all, quick confirmation question: shield skills don't care about the scaled armor value on your shield, just the flat armor value, right? So nodes like towering shield does nothing to scale shield charge or resonating shield?

[tidal copper]

That sounds depressing and very easy to test

[tidal carbon]

@merry bone even if it's a ring?

[fast glen]

Sure does! My warrior isn't quite high enough to get there and test it so I figured I'd ask

[merry bone]

its increased damage - it cant possibly be bad. Im just not sure i understand the question.

[hidden owl]

Quick question. When using the Weapon Set passive tree points...can you not set keystones? For some reason I can allocate other points.

[tidal copper]

Have you tried the the church of warriors in #1308715058716610580 ? Maybe they can help

[merry bone]

should be the rubber room of warriors

[elder mural]

Question about Chronomancer
Apex of the Moment stack with temporal chain on blasphemy and other slow like Chill and hindering ?

[tidal copper]

The asylum

[tidal copper]

Hover over the slow tool tip i believe it had the answer

[fast glen]

Thanks for the direction!

[velvet brook]

anyone can help me explain how people keep spamming comet using barrier invocation?

[kindred path]

On infernalist?

[velvet brook]

yeah

i kept killing myself

X"D

[pastel garden]

Level 42 infernalist minion build - I'm trying to compare 2 diff scepters, one gives +1 minion levels, the other gives +44% minion damage and plus 40% minion health. Somehow the skill info bar shows a 2 damage difference. Is a single minion level really THAT powerful that it's the same as a 44% damage boost?

[fast glen]

lmao i cannot do this because it bounced my message

[tidal copper]

Bounce

[kindred path]

It's pretty straight up since pyromantic pack deals DMG to you when it overcaps, which counts as a hit, thus the DMG taken to ES will fill up barrier, which causes more spells, thus more flame overload, thus more DMG to ES,....and so on, eternal youth so your flask recovers ES and like 20-30 flask nodes and exact ES, energy for trigger spells and mana/cost; balance it all for a steady loop and enough flask recovery to perma spam.

[tidal copper]

Yes that's correct
Level of gems is usually the strongest stat you can get in spells
Mana is sometimes an issue but it doesn't really apply to minions which make it even better

[static plinth]

Just the armour on the shield itself yes, not influenced by passives

[fast glen]

thank you, everything i've read has lead me to believe it, i just am not quite there to test it myself and if i can save myself some repathing i might as well

[static plinth]

Yeah we tested a while ago

Though fwiw, the shield skills would be giga OP if it worked

[tidal copper]

Shield skills are op with the thorns build
Just slam your shield around the enemy as the thorns go to town

[fast glen]

makes sense, you can scale armor super hard and probably find some super high armor base shields late in the game.

that was more or less my plan, iLori, focus thorns and armor and just walk around bangin' the gong

[barren rampart]

is there a good way to reduce the mana cost on hailstorm rounds midgame? im running 5 hailstorm round gems but i just cannot reliably sustain the mana cost on them

as merc, i pathed to the conservative casting node, but its not enough

with husk of dreams i can get up to 90% chance to not consume flask charge that might be good for mana but then you have to use husk of dreams

[errant tulip]

Guys, how do exactly rage work? They increase 1% of damage for each rage? Wouldnt it better to get something like +15% increased attack damage rather than building up damage with rage? I'm looking for damage in a jewel

[merry bone]

Obviously the stack goes higher than 15, but takes some time - but then you can use things like Rageforged - for burst dmg as well.

[tidal copper]

Rage is a more DMG modifer isn't it?

[static plinth]

Rage is More and stacks to 30 by default

[merry bone]

Hmm - interesting wiki says Increase, tooltip says More

gotta get that edited

[errant tulip]

Whats the difference between increased and more?

[static plinth]

More is multiplicative, increased is additive

[merry bone]

Increases are added together and applied to your dmg - Mores then multiply all of that.

[errant tulip]

So "more" is calculated last after all sorts of damage?

[merry bone]

Its calculated after increases

thats why its a multiplier

all increases are additive with other increases

[errant tulip]

This looks neat! TIL

[tidal copper]

It's s lot of DMG in long fights do note that rage falls of quick
I think there jewel mods for it too? Might be worth adding half a weight to those

[steady birch]

so asking again if anyone knows the answer to this xd

[merry bone]

are you asking if you can get 2 shocks on the target with that support?

[steady birch]

yeah, basically if there's any usefulness using it on single target to stack the shock

[merry bone]

not unless you have a talent or unique that allows multiple shocks - otherwise the limit of shocks is 1

[steady birch]

yeah, its more like i want to build the same shock faster to a single target and was wondering if that helps, or just to the aoe range of the target i hit on

[merry bone]

only enemies around

[modern crane]

Guys, very important question
Every single node saying "x% Increased [Element] damage"
That "%" is multiplied from the very base dmg of the skill/weapon, or is multiplied at the very end of the equation?
As in, "+30% dmg" is not ACTUALLY "30%" more dmg than you did before you had that, right?

[merry bone]

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

Start at 3

[modern crane]

Guys, I dont understand
Why some ppl get Mind over matter?
Doesnt that make their HP naked towards dmg, hence receiving it directly into their life? 🤔
I saw some CI + MoM thing, IDK

[merry bone]

MoM makes all dmg taken from mana first - so if you have a big mana pool and alot of regen - you never take dmg to your life pool.

[gloomy atlas]

When should i switch off of a leveling build to a midgame build?

[merry bone]

impossible to answer without seeing what the guide is considering "midgame" - its an undefined term

General rule - when you can afford the setup that is outlined in the guide

[steady birch]

most of the guide transition to the end of act3 cruel, which is around lvl68

[knotty oak]

anyone know why the line are in red? does that mean its not implemented yet or something

[merry bone]

yes

[modern crane]

Why is Armor even a relevant thing in PoE, BTW?
Doesnt it ONLY decrease ONE of the 5 damage types?🤔
Its not like Evasion or ES, potentially blocking all 5 damages🤷‍♂️

[steady birch]

midgame build is prolly like lvl30-50 its very vague

[merry bone]

People absolutely never consider "midgame" still in the campaign

Game doesnt start until Maps

[steady birch]

yeah mostly leveling and endgame

[coral edge]

which rolls is most important on howa? playing stat stacking gemling

[gloomy atlas]

do runes on gear show the value that is applied with the bonus given to them on the website to buy gear or no. just wanted to double check something

[merry bone]

yes

i guess caveat to that - if the bonus is LOCAL to the item. Global modifiers wouldnt reflect

[jade violet]

Runes do show the modified stat which makes it a pain to gauge the original stat yes

[lusty surge]

did they nerf HoI ?

feels different than before

[merry bone]

nope

[hasty vale]

Anyone know if sorcery ward scales with reduced duration for recharge rate?

[quasi fossil]

What's a good quiver to go with a Widowhail bow at level 28 and what runes should I put in it?

[merry bone]

at that level - you want a quiver with +1 Projectile skills, and then as much flat dmg as you can get.

As far as what you socket in your widowhail - really depends on what build you are playing, but id typically go with flat elemental dmg that makes sense

[quasi fossil]

I'm just leveling with LA, I have lightning in my other bow, is that the best bow for leveling?

[merry bone]

i wouldnt widowhail level if you are playing LA

should probably just use a real bow

[quasi fossil]

I can switch skills, I am just using la as I don't know what's better, just trying to get to mapping to do a real build

[manic burrow]

What determines how long you can hold up active block?

[merry bone]

heres some decent quivers for widowhail at that level that cost 1 ex or less

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Standard/eeLly4rFL

[manic burrow]

I'm doing a minion build where I can more or less just hold up my shield, which I'll have equipped forever because it's the only offhand that grants spirit

[quasi fossil]

What skill would you main with it?

[merry bone]

if you want to play LA - play LA

[quasi fossil]

I don't really care, just grinding till I get into mapping levels

so whatever is fastest to level

[merry bone]

I personally prefer Gas Arrow but couldnt tell you if its faster - i just prefer the playstyle

[quasi fossil]

that's level 52, still got a bit to go for that

[merry bone]

Not sure if there is a limit on it - but it only blocks attacks from the front, and even as a minion build there are alot of things you could/should be pressing - unless you are super geared, in which case you wont need to block

[merry bone]

Gas arrow is a level 22 skill

[manic burrow]

At the moment I'm actively raising zombies and calling in icebombs from mages, the shield has just given me breathing room when they're dying or something

[quasi fossil]

ahh my bad, what you recommend for support?

[manic burrow]

between that and dodge roll, I feel fairly in control of when I take damage at least

[merry bone]

scattershot / fire infusion - there are loads of guides on leveling as Gas Arrow Explode

[tidal carbon]

What's the best corrupt stat for a dream fragment? Got int on mine

[merry bone]

int seems like a pretty good one since most of the builds that want dream frag will also like int

[sinful drift]

think i am officially defeated on this character, just cant progress

[tidal carbon]

@merry bone would mana regen been better tho?

[merry bone]

https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/List_of_item_corruption_enchantment_modifiers#Jewellery

[merry bone]

doesnt look like thats a possible outcome

[merry bone]

Time to reroll based on what you learned to something else then!

[sinful drift]

i wish, not sure where it went wrong is the issue

just hit a wall of ads taking ages to die and i get evaportated

[merry bone]

what level are you - what build is it?

[sinful drift]

44 monk, the build well.. its been improvised to say the least

started with following a guide, hit a wall where i felt my character sucked, changed it and it felt better

did that up to now and its just

a dead end

got to act 3 in utzaal and the rank and file enemies just obliterating me an taking eons to kills them

[warped spade]

do we have a pob for poe 2 yet?

[merry bone]

days ago

[merry bone]

What skills are you using? How are you scaling them? How terrible is your weapon?

[night verge]

anyone got a good stat stacking levelling legionare, gotta be on maxroll cus my mobalitics doesnt work

[sinful drift]

currently on all ice, wave of frost, forzen locus, glacial cas, freezing mark, ice strike, herald of ice tempest bell, shattering palm, and just thre whirling assault on for fun

[merry bone]

First issue - too many skills already

[sinful drift]

staff is the best i could find being 51-106 phys damage

oh

[merry bone]

Glacial Cascade basically trash at that level - just a waste

[sinful drift]

didnt think there was such a thing tbh😅

[merry bone]

Frozen Lotus - unncessary - you have Ice Strike - just attack with Ice Strike

Wave of Frost is good for getting freezes out on big packs

dont really need freezing mark and shattering palm IMO. I guess you could just mark bosses - but again, meh - you have Ice strike. Just attack and you'll freeze

[sinful drift]

thats what i had freezing mark for, single damage with bell for shatter on bosses

shattering palm i quite literally just got so i wanted to see how it felt

[merry bone]

you definitely want Tempest Bell - its your "phase bosses without having to do shit" ability

What spirit gems?

[sinful drift]

noticed that, hated it, but accepted bell is big deeps

uh

thats where i hit a wall too

got level 2 gems

but i only have 2 per skill besides one which has 3

i couldnt get any drops to improve it

[merry bone]

what do you mean you have level 2 gems?

[sinful drift]

oh you said spirit not support

my fault lol

[jagged thunder]

which one gets calculated first:

• hits ignore non-negative ele res
• exposures

-> if enemy has 50% ele res
-> i apply -20% exposure
-> hits ignore ele proc.

like what happens here?

[sinful drift]

i have herald of ice/lightning and the one with the decoy to increase charges if it when i was on lightning build

[dawn shuttle]

When using resonance and combat frenzy for monk, what do people use to proc combat frenzy the most, electrocutes or freezes? Or is it build specific

[merry bone]

Wiki answers this stuff pretty easily.

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

[merry bone]

Both

[dawn shuttle]

Alr, I’m just trynna figure out which skills I should use electrocute on, I’ll prob figure it out later

[merry bone]

Just sounds like you could use following a guide so you can understand how all the pieces are working together. Or - just take the currency you made and start something new. New stuff is fun

[merry bone]

Put COnduction on Charged Staff - put Electrocute on your main skill

[dawn shuttle]

That’s rlly helpful, thanks

[jagged thunder]

looks like exposure is useless for ignore res nodes. so means so many guides are wrong.

or i misunderstood the wiki

my own build does triple exposure and ignore res kek

[sinful drift]

guess ill have to try, hope for the best

[merry bone]

do you ignore resistance 100% of the time? If not - then exposure is good for when you dont

[jagged thunder]

frozen enemies yes

and i freeze a lot including bosses

[merry bone]

Part of why you freeze alot - is the penetration you have when they arent frozen

[jagged thunder]

oh you're right

[silent echo]

What jewels should I be looking for as a deadeye

[merry bone]

ones with good modifiers for the build you are playing

Jewels can roll like 60+ affixes. Gonna be real hard to tell you exactly which ones you want.

Assuming you are playing a Bow/Crossbow/Quarterstaff - Emeralds tend to be the way to go - here is every mod you can get on emeralds.

https://www.craftofexile.com/?b=27&ob=both&v=d&a=x&l=a&lg=17&bp=y&as=1&hb=0&bld={}&im={}&ggt=|&ccp={}&gvc={"limit":88}

Sapphires provide mana on kill and have some ele pen rolls - as well as global crit - so you can look at sapphires as well

[solar spindle]

is leech capped by max life/mana like poe1?

[fringe heart]

Don't know if this should be asked here but is there a way to add more than just the 2 support slots to a skill I am getting from a weapon?

[merry bone]

Like a wand/staff skill? Those come with the level of the skill you are being granted

[fringe heart]

Yeah right now I have +9 skeletal warriors with only 2 support slots. Higher level gives more slots?

[merry bone]

yep

[fringe heart]

Copy that thank you

[autumn escarp]

lv 90 -> you will get 5 slots

[merry bone]

thats for ascendancy granted skills - the question was relating to skills from weapon implicits, which is based on the skill level.

[charred fox]

Hi. If you have enough cold to freeze... an against the darkness jewel with light damage would be more damage overall then a darkness with cold? (For deadeye ranger)

[merry bone]

Those 2 things dont have anything to do with one another.

also - deadeye ranger doesnt tell us anything about your build or how you are scaling dmg

[sterile stone]

i have no idea what that is, but now PoB is out cant you just simulate which one gives more damage

the question is which mod gives damage right?

[merry bone]

Those jewels give "Gain x% of Damage as Cold/Lightning" - so they basically give the same amount of dmg.

The onl.y thing that will change is if you have ele curses/pen - or if you can use a different dmg type to inflict an ailment you want to get out of it

[charred fox]

I mean is a bit complicated since we use both cold and light. Wanted to see whats better @merry bone . Maybe for bossing light jewel

[trail cypress]

Hi Guys,

Need some help. I am playing sorcerer storm weaver with spark for leveling.

I was able to finish normal campaign but now running into a bit of an issue in cruel difficulty.

My defenses seems very weak as I am getting 1-shot by even a regular group mob in manor (last area before act 1 boss).

I belive it's either I rushed through the areas in cruel difficulty to reach maps fast (mobs are 1 level higher than me) or I messed up some stats inherently.

I have all elemental resistance capped and ~15% chaos res. I don't have any evasion (0) and only 10% physical damage mitigation from Armour. Have 1k life and 300 ES.
Is this where I am lacking? I am also equipping a shield for 25% block chance.

Could anyone help what should I do to improve defenses?

[wispy token]

Just got the 3 dragons mask for my lightning monk build. Just wondering how do I proc lightning formy siphoning stike to gain power charges now?
I really wana use the helmet just a bit confused on how to go about it

[eager galleon]

is against the darkness/any of the sparkweaver stuff bugged on POB2? I'm trying to figure out why my stats are off from in game, as far as i can tell i have everything in correctly. POB is 800 ES 300 mana 10 int and 10% lightning res lower from in game and the only thing i could think of that would cause all 4 of those to be off is my against the darkness gem? (4% int 4% lightning)

[ornate eagle]

What’s your character level vs area level?

[undone dune]

Are there no class channels?

[tidal copper]

Mid hard I'll say

[eager galleon]

#1308715058716610580 is filled with threads for each class/ascendancy

[trail cypress]

50 character
51 area

[ornate eagle]

I think your life + es is too low at that level. Try get some max life and es.

[trail cypress]

Yeah, I was suggested to get ghostwrithe armour and everlasting gaze to increase ES. I will work on equipping them while maintain resistances.

[ornate eagle]

Use grim feast as well

[undone dune]

Is trampletoe the only way?

[ornate eagle]

I guess you can search skill gems with AOE tag and try them if you homebrew?

Random bad suggestion: try Magma Barrier parry (with many + skill levels)

[undone dune]

Yeah I did try magma barrier, hate the playstyle lol.

[tidal copper]

Herald of ash not enough? Well that's not good
Can you not scale the AOE of herald or something

[undone dune]

Herald only has 1,2m radius. And by default the damage is terrible so not really scaleable

1m radius sorry

[tidal copper]

Armour explosion?

[undone dune]

I'm using it on resonating strike. 1.4m radius. If I put mag effect on a gem, would that boost the support gems as well? Might be worth checking out

[tidal copper]

You can check the tool tip
The build must be pretty low DMG though isn't that right

[manic burrow]

From what I understand, your active block is broken whenever you are frozen or stunned?

So if you wanted to hold it forever, lots of resistance to those

[undone dune]

I'm only on tier 12s but i'm oneshotting bosses with shield charge + ignite

1200 armor shield lol

[tidal copper]

Sounds like investing in Aoe instead of DMG will be good
You think that might solve the issue?
I'm trying to think what other options warrior has but it looks difficult

[undone dune]

I appreciate the effort. Yeah might habe to switch around some passives, I have some aoe + radial force annoint. If shield charge had no cooldown it'd be fantastic.

[tidal copper]

What about a weapon swap set up could you hit decently hard with corrupting cry?...

[potent quartz]

for path of building i have to manually import everything? rough

[violet yarrow]

Does anyone know if I use mana flare support on an aoe spell, does it consume mana for each enemy or only once then deal damage to all enemies when it proc?

[tidal copper]

Copy paste the items

[smoky carbon]

@waxen jewel Works nice with a better temporalis 🙂 Thanks for the help

[potent quartz]

how do i factor things like curses and other skills that provide expsoure into the calc

i added the skills but i don't see a way to add those debuffs in, or for it to take account those debuffs

[violet yarrow]

If you are talking about POB go to configuration on top left

[winter vortex]

Whats the max exalt stack on a premium currency tab?

[floral helm]

So I'm really confused about something in regards to my build. I don't know if this is a lot of intellect or not. Like legitimately I have no idea I'm kind of going by ear.

But I feel like I should have way more mana than I currently have. And I know that some people are running around with seven or eight k mana and I feel like I'm missing..... How they do that.

[potent quartz]

I don't think exposure is on PoB yet? unless im blind

[tidal copper]

In the configuration panel? Search bar top left

[autumn escarp]

I got unlock 5 skills gem after i got level 90

[potent quartz]

not seeing exposure inthere

[thorny token]

do you have source of exposure?

[potent quartz]

ya ball lightning + lightning exposure

[tidal copper]

Bonk
That's not exposure that gives flat pen to the ability

Doesn't it?

[potent quartz]

shouldn't be

i also see the exposure debuff on enemies

[tidal copper]

Yeah I'm an idiot

[opal bobcat]

Does the ritualistic curse support gem increase the range of blasphemy? Not sure I get how that works

[thorny token]

it should be visible on ball lightning if you click shocked but otherwise yea

not configured properly atm

[potent quartz]

ya i clickec shocked

guess it doesn't work

would have been nice to calc increased exposure stuff, o well

also suprised it doesn't auto calc magnitude of shock

[winter vortex]

Is there a stack limit on currency stash tabs? Like 20ex max?

[serene edge]

Heya everyone! Has anyone tried any bleed build in the latest patch?

[violet yarrow]

clicks "show all configurations"

[undone dune]

How many meters is a full screen? Anyone know?

[gleaming chasm]

Can Timelost Emeralds get a medium Radius?

[radiant sable]

is 50 resistance good for each if im running a chaos innoculation build? I need more es so I have all iron runes

[thorny token]

no, you should cap it

more ES is worthless when you are taking double elemental damage due to not capping resistances

[radiant sable]

gotcha

[livid dagger]

i look on YT someone can reach 30k damage on skeletal frost mage, anybody can help me what wrong with my build, what i need most for playing frost mage? before i play sniper minion they can reach 30k damage, but know i didnt know why my frost mage is low damage, thanks.

[formal ridge]

hey guys so this my first poe game and moving onto my second class and was wondering if someone can link me an op monk build like on mobalytics

[tame viper]

could anyone who speaks/ can read Korean pm me please? need some help translating a bit of a guide

[real harness]

Hey there folks! Hoping I might be able to get some build feedback, I've just finished plugging my titan into PoB. I'm getting into late-game mapping now and generally having a good time. My damage is based around breaking armour / heavy stunning and then exploiting. I've built for shield-tanking / regen the whole game and it's worked, but now I'm in the late game I'm feeling like my HP total is too low and I'm too vulnerable to chaos damage.

In terms of upping my HP in the late game, should I just be looking for more gear with high +max HP totals? What is the best way to build up some chaos resistance too?

Is it okay to link a PoB build here?

I was going to post in the thread for warriors but for some reason it won't let me post there.

[radiant sable]

Got everything up to 75

Why does it let numbers go to 90

[floral helm]

Anybody with like an entire stash tab or two of low level trash maps that they can sell me?

Gold is an issue and I am constantly smashing my head against a wall trying to get more.

[marsh oar]

75% is soft cap for resistances, they can be increased with "+ maximum x resistance" mods to the hard cap of 90%

[muted dagger]

Does anyone know how I could make flicker strike hit harder? Ive seen people use it to clear hordes but mine barely does anything

[hidden perch]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/w12fc0y5

Can anyone tell me why I'm not charging cast on ignite and shock please?

[hidden perch]

also the sceptre is outdated, I've got enough spirit to slot everything there

[jovial blade]

how do you guys make flicker strike unlimited?

[torn moat]

what can i effectly do about ailment threshold in simulcarum with spark? breaks my neck way to often

[lime narwhal]

Could anyone recommend some good cold sorc vibes/guides? I started on sorc but my lack of knowledge kinda painted me into a corner, build was good but too slow for end game. Got some decent savings now after ranger and monk aand thinking of reviving my level 75 sorc

[rich gust]

Is your max number of curses snapshotted when you apply them? or is it updated in real time?

Like say you have Whispers of Doom allocated on your tree in weapon set 2. If you swap to weapon set 1, will it clear your extra curses?

[lime narwhal]

not interested in the spark meta at all

[thorny token]

you cant use wep swap points for keystones

[rich gust]

pob needs to be patched then

[glad bone]

i started cold sorc and pivoted to cold spark bloodwitch, my build does about 20m comet DPS with spark triggers, POB if you ask. if you just want something basic to play i'd recommend cast on freeze+crit eye of winter, each of your triggers being comet

[thorny token]

open an issue on the repo if its not there

[lime narwhal]

are you using 3 dragons for that? The cof nerf destroyed my build and i was manually casting comets lol, also on stormweaver so no bloodwitch shenanigans for me

[glad bone]

cast on crit is most of the single-target dps

CoC builds triple dip on crit, freeze is kinda 'eh' but it still works for map clearing with cascading comets

i'm using solus ipse and choir of the storm

[lime narwhal]

hmm I lack a lot of crit atm but sounds interesting

[glad bone]

call of the brotherhood converts lightning to cold

[lime narwhal]

just not into spark that much, find it a bit senseless in a way

[glad bone]

that build is best as bloodmage but you could push it anyway with cold sorc

the spark is for rapid hits for rapid choir

[lime narwhal]

ah yes, i have 2 of those lying around

thanks for the ideas, do you know of any creators with a similar build guide? I like to take pieces from here and there and throw a spin on it

[glad bone]

anything cast on freeze should be similar but it's possible i'm the only one who put this together

again i have POB link if you want it

[lime narwhal]

that would be fantastic

[glad bone]

https://pobb.in/91M9_Cny85y3

[lime narwhal]

i saw another dude doing some witch shenanigans with comets but it was based on fire

[lime narwhal]

much appreciated

nice i was wnating a reason to use choir of the storm

had some ideas in mind if monk had been nuked in patch 0.1.1

[glad bone]

probably pyromantic pact loop but that's not really intended and i think it got nerfed already. cast on ignite isnt bad but you kinda have to use hard-cast flameblast

[lime narwhal]

yeah he was flameblasting and casting more comets than you saw pre-nerf

[glad bone]

i could see it being decent with minmaxing, but there's a vulnerability window while casting

and the clearspeed has to be worse than spark

[lime narwhal]

it was pretty crazy tbh

wish i could remember who it was lol

[glad bone]

spark screenwipes 2x screens away

i'm not scaling the damage the normal way but it's still the same skill

i'd use eye of winter instead if it wasn't so much worse on clear

game currently feels like you have to use long projectiles or some kind of prolif unfortunately, some skills just don't fit the requirements for the monster count

[lime narwhal]

pob can be exported to maxroll right? for easier viewing by a pob noob such as myself

[glad bone]

just install pob2

[lime narwhal]

i've got it on desktop

[glad bone]

maxroll sucks, very little math its mostly item/passive placements

[lime narwhal]

yeah true, pob is just info overload for me lol

[glad bone]

you'll get used to it if you don't try to absorb everything you see on the screen, just look for specifics you need

[lime narwhal]

I like just a brief overview to spark (excuse the pun) some ideas

[glad bone]

if you want to make anything extremely strong you'll have to use POB, because calculating the DPS differences manually isn't doable

for different passive choices/item ideas

[lime narwhal]

very cool setup though, i can see those items being hella pricey

[glad bone]

none of the uniques are expensive, the rares can be replaced with budget items

obviously you'll get better results with the mirror shit i dropped in but that's just to demonstrate ideals

the most expensive item is a 50+ spirit chest with decent other stats

[lime narwhal]

i've not seen a mage tree that goes round to the monk side of things, very cool

[glad bone]

all the trigger/crit stuff is over there

plus jewel sockets are strong

there's a lot of assumptions here, the tree isn't optimal for SSF or if you have no idea how to pick up good jewels

[midnight geode]

is "increased damage taken" any different than regular damage increases?

[glad bone]

yes, its a multiplicative layer. not sure if it multiplies with new shock tho

[lime narwhal]

its given me some perspective on the tree though, you don't have to go full balls into damage nodes and stuff. lots of very smart choices there

[midnight geode]

aight ty

[glad bone]

its kinda funny, the notables on the poe2 tree are so weak that it's viable to just get jewels

[midnight geode]

also wdym by new shock?

did they nerf shock or smth

[glad bone]

shock got reworked in poe2 but it's generally better

[midnight geode]

oh nice

[lime narwhal]

one last thing my sorc is only level 75, so which section of your tree would you recommend as the last path?

[glad bone]

tree is not for sorc, it relies on bloodmage crit ratios and lifetap to sustain MoM

[lime narwhal]

i was going to do a witch but i hate that you are pidgeon holed into minions/phys/chaos to start. none of which interest me at all

[glad bone]

look at how i started

[lime narwhal]

fair enough, thanks for the info

[glad bone]

if you wanna do cast on crit you'll be aiming for 300-500% increased crit total across all passives and items+a bunch of crit damage and probably exposure+cold pen

[old horizon]

as PoB is out right now, where do you usually get codes for people's builds for import?

[outer jackal]

Has anyone tried Infernalist demon form with mind over matter, eldritch battery, and Chaos inoculation? Im wondering if it would just kill me or allow me to take the demon form damage in mana and with high mana regen just stay in demon form forever since your max life would be one and the demon flame stacks would only be doing .5% of 1 life each stack

[outer jackal]

At least the first few minion nodes give spell damage too

[glad bone]

CI disables demon form, the rest works. demon form also doesnt deal damage to removes life

[iron harbor]

Pretty sure they changed it so that it always takes at least 1 life

[tidal copper]

Guides
Many won't be updated and will use mobalytics
But I'll bet many max roll guides are updated as they are patterning with them

[glad bone]

correct, you get one max stack per 1 life

[outer jackal]

Ok that's what I was wondering... didn't realize CI would disable demon form though... that's odd

[iron harbor]

I mean it would kill you in a second if it didn't...

[glad bone]

its because reaching 1 stacks turns it off

[glad bone]

it disables itself instead of killing you

[tidal copper]

What if you wear an Original Sin and use demon form?

[glad bone]

no interaction

[tidal copper]

Doesn't it deal elemental DMG

[glad bone]

no, it removes life

[iron harbor]

Yeah I mean if it didn't disable itself it would kill you, which is why they were nice enough to make it auto disable 😅

[outer jackal]

Ah ok that makes sense. Damn I was really hoping it would take from mana cause I'm doing a mana stacking lightning build lol

And you can get way more mana regen then life regen lol

[glad bone]

you can still do that but you need -max life % (such as ming's heart), and flat regen (such as +50 life regen per second) on gear

[silver anvil]

https://pobb.in/MeD3EMxmdI9q are there any low hanging fruits I can "grab" to increase my damage for cheap, without sacrificing defenses?

[brittle lintel]

guys question, why do some people put 2 same skills in a cast on X skill?

what does it do?

[glad bone]

it makes it cost twice as much energy to cast 2 copies at once

[outer jackal]

Ya was just planning to go all in on healing with mana potion and not ever touching my health at all

[silver anvil]

didnt properly fill in my jewels but just assume they aren't getting swapped around until later (unless there's a cheap option that's really worth it)

[glad bone]

not possible unfortunately, you can't convert the life loss but you can reduce and offset it

[tidal copper]

What does fast forward do

[brittle lintel]

i dont get it. isnt that bad? you need more energy for the skill to trigger?

[glad bone]

its a net-zero, so i couldnt tell you why they do it

[brittle lintel]

oh damn lol

ayt thanks!

[outer jackal]

10-4. Might just opt out of demon form entirely or get the max 10 stacks and enough life regen for 10 stacks.

Then just going archmage and mana stacking

[glad bone]

yea energy cost=cast time of all skills combined

[glad bone]

you should probably be told shapeshifting disables your weapon. most people doing demon form are going 200 max stacks with 201 max life

you just need 200 flat regen on gear rolls to set that up

iirc passive tree can scale flat regen

[outer jackal]

Im just using a sceptre right now anyway for free minions so that can be disabled no problem. It's not doing much for me

Only went Infernalist cause it's just a duo with my wife who wanted to play a fire witch lol

Really gemling would be better for mana stacking

[glad bone]

iirc stormweaver is good for mana stack

[tidal copper]

It's an interesting challenge

[outer jackal]

My mains are a stormweaver fireball build and an ice strike monk. This was just gonna be a fun goofy build

[outer jackal]

For sure. And you get some 4% max mana nodes in Infernalist anyway... well one. The other is locked behind turning your mana into demon flame which you don't want lol

[tidal copper]

Are we sure we don't want

[outer jackal]

Well since I'm going mana stacking for archmage it would mess that all up I think

Plus I took the Lightning damage per Intelligence node too cause it fits well with archmage

[elder mural]

How do people substain Meta build. I only got Cast on freeze with 3500 mana and i run out of mana instently. I use no multiplier support gems on the trigger skill and i use inspiration 40% less cost.

[lapis slate]

Which piece should I buy first in my build? (Where should I start my build) I'm upgrading my spark build i already have a good wand, budget is 200 div

[glad bone]

reduced mana cost cluster on tree, mana regen, less energy gen, maybe less cast speed. it's focused on amping damage per hit rather than total triggers cause scaling trigger speed eats mana.

(unless you do lifetap+leech+(vaal pact or atziri's acuity). personally i do that on my bloodmage for infinite triggers)

[sinful verge]

Can the chance for spell skills % work with cast on minions comet? Or no cause cast on minion death is technically a buff

[elder mural]

I use Frozen Wall to trigger Cast on Freeze with Comet, and I freeze monsters a lot. However, since I got the "Mana% on kill" modifier on my jewel, I don’t have any issues while mapping. But against bosses with modifiers or pinnacle bosses, I just run out of mana and can’t play.

I don’t have much mana regeneration, but I also don’t have high casting speed. It’s kind of weird because when I self-cast Comet, my mana doesn’t even move, but when it triggers, it drains really fast.

[tidal copper]

That's 30 divs isn't it

[sinful verge]

Got it on my gemling when i was farming for uniques from the boss

Shits a bitch to get

[elder mural]

Im ssf, didnt droped it yet

[floral helm]

I've literally used my Vaal luck for this year already.

I had to get a 29% cuz it's all I could afford. And I was able to put everything I want it on it and maximize quality. And then I just slapped it with a chaos and this is what it gave me.

Not a chaos a vaal You know what I meant XD

[sinful verge]

Would comet level go up on cast on minion death if i got +lvls for cold spells or would it be minions lvls+ cause cast on minions

Or neither

[tidal copper]

Left

[sinful verge]

Purple

[tidal copper]

You understand

[floral helm]

What? Neither of those makes sense as a response to that question!

🤣

[sinful verge]

Not sure whats more braindead, stormweaver sparks or galvanic shard gemling

Dont help i combined both pillar and galvanic together into a single build

[floral helm]

I don't know I'm going gemling Sparks so...

[elder mural]

Cast on crit cost less mana on trigger or all the CoC meta gems are the same on consuption ?

[sinful verge]

Tier 4 waystones PAIN!!!

[sinful verge]

Lmfao noice

[tidal copper]

Cold spells should be reflected in the DPS

[silk dust]

Hi new player here. Which build is better when you on budget between Monk or Sorc ?

[sinful verge]

I combined the 2 most prominent gemlings into one myself like a mad man and it works

[tidal copper]

Sorc sure

[sinful verge]

Pillar of caged gods gives shock hella lots so i use quarterstaff and crossbow together

[floral helm]

Yeah that's fair. I played Giants blood wielding double two-hand maces for a few days just for funsies. But I realize why everybody hates it XD

[sinful verge]

And makes me get shock on bosses more consistently

Weapon swap be nutty if not for the fact i swap weapons already fast as is

[sinful verge]

Not sure if this was smart but it is what i use for bosses and i realized why people dont use it too

[glad bone]

same

[glad bone]

if you have no idea what you're doing, monk will be easier, pure ES can get sketchy if your clearspeed is bad

[kindred barn]

If I have fire to cold damage conversion will that affect "gain extra fire damage from cold"?

Like cold>gained fire>converted into cold>cold dmg modifiers

[glad bone]

base conversion is first, if you have multiple conversions it gets normalized. if you have 100% conversion, i believe that will result in extra cold, even if the base hit was fire. (either cold or fire base damage is made cold first)

extra damage gets its own conversion step after

[near epoch]

hi! just need some advice on what would be a good upgrade from the current wand im using ❤️ any advice on the tradesite would be appreciated ❤️

[sinful verge]

+5 lvls

[storm flax]

Is CI still good after the patch? With 40% chaos resist, my char still gets decimated.

[sinful verge]

Trust me i understand the pain

[midnight geode]

anyone got a link to the shock rework? my dumbass can't find anything

[glad bone]

you have some low rolled tiers and attribute is a dead roll

[glad bone]

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

[midnight geode]

thx

[carmine flicker]

what would be good reservation for full phys shockwave totem build?
currently using attrition, but it's too slow to ramp up

heralds are useless
time of need bad when scaling duration

[tidal copper]

Banner
Drop it on your totems with FONT OF RAGE and make them murder

Don't ask me if that works I dunno

[glad bone]

also any defensive auras work of course ^ pretty sure totems are allies

[tidal copper]

That actually sounds sick a bit of duration and banner would give rage 30 rage sounds fun to have a second set too

[waxen dew]

saying hi to fellow detonate dead builders,

how would you weigh between these nodes around lvl80-90?

10% minion heath / 10% physical damage / 15% fire damage

granted its the common notion to push minion max heath to 50k

wldnt then adding fire/phys much more beneficial to bumping minion heath further, the math if i m not mistaken would be:

dmg from +minion heath = 50,000 % 110% = 55,000 * 0.2 = 1000
dmg from + fire damage = 50,000 * 15% = 7500

can anyone explain or give your opinion on this?

[glad bone]

depends on your existing stats between health and phys damage. the fire damage is 'flat', so it's not gonna multiply with minion health

[tidal copper]

Does deadeye frenzy passives work with power charges if you have resonance

[glad bone]

resonance just swaps the 'gain', so avidity would work normally upon gaining an endurance charge that is instead gained as a frenzy charge

[waxen dew]

oh, do you mean additional % to fire dmg only scales with the 28-43 here???

[glad bone]

yea corpe damage is just phys

though i think you can convert it

[waxen dew]

converting... but how?

[glad bone]

not sure maybe normal ways

[waxen dew]

my lv90 witch had taken a few fire dmg nodes and jewel thinking it scales, and i've also picked archmage, so will lightning dmg scales with minion max health?

[glad bone]

phys->extra lightning works. extra damage is very similar to conversion

[waxen dew]

spell gain 6% of "damage" that include the phys dmg from corpse exploding right??

[glad bone]

presumably so unless DD is an exception for conversions and such, i've not played it in poe2

[near timber]

is critical hit chance and critical hit chance for attacks the same?

[glad bone]

assuming they're both just 'increased critical hit chance', the former also affects spells

[merry bone]

it does. Archmage DD kind of slaps

[hoary ingot]

any thoughts? Chronomancer Temp Chains Archmage Spark

[glad mountain]

Getting bored of witch
What’s a good character to start that won’t be too expensive

[crimson knoll]

Hello , im looking at this build , he have cold infusion on herald of thunder and lightning infusion on herald of ice , what is the reason for this

[merry bone]

You push dmg of your Herald of Lightning to do Cold Dmg, and Freeze targets - so that when you kill them, they shatter - which causes Herald of Ice to explode, which does Lightning dmg, and hopefully shocks and kills enemies - which procs Herald of Lightning..... And thus chains between the two

You similarly balance your main skills so that you are shocking with your attacks to proc herald of lightning to start the chain

[crimson knoll]

oh wow

high iq

cool combo

[upbeat ivy]

What is the best minion build rn

[merry bone]

dont really matter - infernalist - and then basically take your pick

they have slightly different strengths and typically require minor differences to swap if you want to. With the exception being a Doryani's Store Mages set up (as obviously it only works for Storm Mages)

[loud relic]

Does anyone have a workaround to add "increased shock magnitude" as a valuable mod on PoB? Right now it's not included in the weights it calculates even though increasing shock magnitude manually increases the full dps

Also the shock magnitude nodes on the tree do nothing for me even though they seem to be implemented (no red text)

[royal badge]

If I have 2 50% shocks and 1 50% lightning exposure on the enemy, is it 2.5x damage or is it 2*1.5x? I'm asking if they add before multiplying the damage or if shock and exposure are considered separate

[tidal copper]

Apparently there is some epic spaghetti going on

[limber grail]

any1 can help me with my passive tree to do a better on call help 1?

[tidal copper]

PoB PoB?

[narrow ermine]

I am thinking of trying to build a chaos dot build, around something like ED for example, but I am unable to find many mods or tree nodes that influence it.
In PoE1 you had dot damage, dots deal damage faster and much more on gear, the tree, jewels and more.
In PoE2 I find mostly just chaos damage and chaos res reduction. I could deal more damage by using something like cast speed, but then I am not utilizing the DOT part and just the hit.
Is the concept dead or is there some other way to scale the damage?

[merry bone]

Demon Form to get huge % Spell dmg - as that scales the dot. But the supports are lacking

[tidal copper]

You can freeze can you not? Maybe cast on freeze something

What are the best gear pieces for rarity?

[cedar karma]

when running concoction, what % quiover increase breakpoint is needed? 300% or 350%?

[merry bone]

Multiples of 50 if you want to add more +levels

[cedar karma]

ah ok got it

[merry bone]

you get 80 from the wheel on the tree - and a 270 widowhail shouldnt be too expensive. If you try pushing to 400, you'll need a better widowhail and then jewels which cna get expensive

Can I mix different soul cores in mahuxotl? I want to have a mix of rarity and mana for my spark build, is that viable, tho?

[merry bone]

if thats what you need - then why not?

[tidal copper]

Last patch maybe it'll raise some eyebrows but now you can tune it as you like

[lapis slate]

i don't know what rarity should i be aiming for

My budget is around 200 div

I already have wand, boots and helmet

[merry bone]

as much as you can get while still maintaining super fast clear speed and not dying

[lapis slate]

Yeah but is not that I can check it without having the item

[bold oxide]

pconc still great. pob says my poisons are 2.8 mil lol

[spare quartz]

Anyone know if the Cooked passive works on poisonous concoction? Adds crit damage during a flask effect

[tidal copper]

Buy all the equipment and put cores after (?)

[merry bone]

there isnt a target for Rarity - you get it on pieces of gear when you dont need other things from that gear.

[lapis slate]

Yeah it's just so difficult for me to find a 6 suffix on this budget

[spare quartz]

There are tons of testers on YouTube saying rarity slows down after 100...

[sour basin]

in titan ascendancy theres a node that states "every 2nd slam skill you use is ancestrally boosted. for sunder i can spawn up to 8 waves of sunder fissures would those fissures also have the 20% "more" damage to them since it all game from the same 1 slam?

[merry bone]

If you areunder the effect of your life or mana flask then yes it works. Consuming flask charges to throw a concoction does not count as "During a flask effect" though

[lapis slate]

like 6 suffix i'm looking for on gear pieces are:
Mana
%ES
INT
+ES

RESx
RESX/Rarity... Is this correct?

[spare quartz]

Ah thank you, guves me another point to use elsewhere

[merry bone]

where it slows down isnt important though - once you have enough dmg and survivability there is no reason not to get more

[lapis slate]

Aren't these gloves kinda good??
bad that's accuracy tho

it's
72% ES
102 acc
177 mana
29 int
42 fire res
36 cold res

[sour basin]

you only have 72 es because theres no flat for it to scale higher
