[weary hare]

How are people getting so much ex for upgrades? I have like 4 ex rn and don't really know what to get for my 71 ice/elec monk using ghostwraithe and a mix of passive builds rn.

[old ermine]

Any suggestions on how I can up my spark stormweaver damage?

[woeful python]

Should I go witchhunter or gemling legionare for mercenary

[cedar charm]

What are the best supports for tempest bell?

[merry bone]

rarity on gear combined with higher tier maps, rolled well, with towers adding rarity and quantity.

[weary hare]

I can't even complete t1 maps, took me a week+ to get to level 71. This is ridiculous lmao

[merry bone]

well its time to go look up a guide, because thats a build and skill issue at that point - T1 maps are able to be completed on some pretty scuffed shit

[thin basin]

man theres not a single deadeye build that goes crit

[merry bone]

Crit Ice Shot

[thin basin]

got maxroll pob moba link?

[merry bone]

Moxsy

all of his iterations are out there

[thin basin]

ooo nice i can almost 1:1 this

[waxen jewel]

I'm playing at level 8 maps with my ssf deadeye lightning arrow.
I'm using both of the Evasion/ES hybrid nodes from my tree for (helm, and for chest) so I know what bases those must be.

=== The Question ===
I'm tweaking my item filter it made me think that is there any point to use dex bases on gloves/boots or just go ES? Will evasion really do much later on in the game for defense?

More context

In essence: is there any point why I would prefer evasion over ES in build like this?

[stiff hinge]

Does primal armament work on SRS? Anyone know?

anybody?

[merry bone]

try socketing it and check. Wording indicates weapon so I dont believe its supposed to - but for some reaosn I feel like ive heard that it is giving them dmg

[tranquil steeple]

anyone know how to copy and paste from trade site into POB?

[half owl]

help it says no character to import POB

[merry bone]

whats the red support in combat frenzy?

[bold palm]

You want 65%+ evasion with acrobat

[hoary root]

anyone has experience/ a ranger 1-shotting mobs on T15? Asking because I seem to be at a dead-end. Not sure if my build is wrong or which item

[bold palm]

Fubgun* guide is gud

[sleek linden]

how are people getting into the 100k damage with spark

[hoary root]

You mean Fubgun? Just making sure.

[distant tendon]

What is hte best merc attribute stacking build guide?

[waxen jewel]

With busted gear, the ceiling is high in poe

Also here's like 480% more damage

[sleek linden]

I need to stack more mana

[solar walrus]

hello. I have a question about jewels. In a video I saw there was a jewel that could change the inherent strength bonus from max hp to max ES. Is there a jewel that can change the inherent bonus of dexterity from accuracy - accuracy does nothing for my monk and it would be cool to get something out of dex since i am stacking it.

[uneven shuttle]

cast on crit or cast on shock

[vague ravine]

Hey all, looking to build a new build, thinking of homebrewing one up, anyone have a fun and strong skill to try?

[solar spindle]

if you have 100% reload speed do you just reload instantly?

[viral sage]

in SSF, if u found a really good weapon but highly benefit from crit, but u didnt put points in accuracy and crits since u already put it in 'Resolute technique', will it be worth to reallocate points those stats?

[rancid cipher]

Is there a way to see how much stun threshold you need when using CI? I see this on items and I'm not really sure how much value I'm getting out of it since I don't have a frame of reference.

[merry bone]

you are never immune to stuns

So there really isnt a number

[spring prairie]

is it just me or are there a strangely low amount of % increased max mana nodes in the tree compared to ES?

[merry bone]

why would there be the same amount of mana nodes as ES?

[spring prairie]

idk

[merry bone]

ES has node support similar to Evasion or Armour since it is a base defence

[weary hare]

I assume it means those are worse than your current stats on that item

[stiff hinge]

It lets you socket them in, but SRS tooltip is bugged hence why i dont know

[azure sun]

TEAM Flast ES or ES Percent whats better?

[merry bone]

thats not a question anyone can answer - because there are numerous additional variables

[azure sun]

ok

[merry bone]

If you have no Flat ES - there is nothing for % to scale.

If you have alot of Flat ES - then % can scale alot

[steady magnet]

anyone have some fun builds to play? something that moves quickly without using temporalis/blink

[merry bone]

Shattering Concoction Pathfinder

[dire stratus]

a lot of people use the stun charm to deal with this

[jovial blade]

what will happen if you corrupt a unique ring/pendant?

[lunar geyser]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/06dxn0y7 can I get some help with what I can improve on item wise. Or what I can do to upgrade my prismatic ring without destroying my resistances.

[marsh seal]

So trying to figure out for my build

does it make sense to take less damage to try to hit higher or cap resistances?

If you don't have the money to pay for both at once

[spring prairie]

cap resistances is always #1 no matter what build or budget

then having sufficient life/mana/es/armour/eva is after

then after that is damage

[marsh seal]

Fair

So cap res first

I just don't know if its even really possible lmao

with my setup

I use multiple uniques with no res

I guess the belt doubles ring stats

[unique sandal]

Can I see a pure ES build template (any build really, I just want to check the ES small nodes/notables)? I want to compare and see if I am missing any important nodes or could path differently.

I am also CI + eternal youth atm.

[narrow ermine]

I have been wanting to try an aura bot style build, but as far as I can see, other than some rolls on a sceptre and something like grim feast, there are nothing to make up such a build?

[pale cloak]

im following this guide on invoker monk right here... https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/8w8uu0z7 does anyone know how far the early game setup is supposed to take you? can you ride it till juiced t15s or is it meant to just start out? I am struggling at yellow t10s currently with a 400 dps staff

[distant cypress]

generally how much less likely am i to freeze if have a 400phys + 100 fire vs a 400phys + 100 cold. weapon

[marsh seal]

Wanted opinions on this, so according to this, leaping ambush is one of the best DPS bonuses I could get for instance putting it on an amulet, but the question is here, would this end up realistically actually helping?

Because its bonus on full life enemies

Which, for first hit enemies, which ice invoker primarily cares about, it would be a lot, but on like bosses only that first hit would matter.

[rich fjord]

Can you add support gems to the skills you put into cast on shock?

[ornate eagle]

You’re correct. It’s not great. It’s only good for killing trash early on when your damage is not enough. Later it’s not needed when your damage is overflow to kill trash

[marsh seal]

Yeah

I've been kinda just trying to figure out what to do with my build now

[ornate eagle]

Yes, just socket them into cos

[rich fjord]

How?

[marsh seal]

https://pobb.in/TKFyHbfNnneX I'm just kinda stuck lmao

I know I need the unique belt belt ingenuity for sure

But from there

[tropic talon]

need help guys

gains % of damage as extra lightning damage vs lightning damage which is better guys?

should i go with

gains % of damage as extra lightning damage + lightning damage
or
Spell damage + lightning damage

i'm using spark crit

[leaden salmon]

I'd suggest using PoB then you can see what items with the different stats does to your build @tropic talon

[timber lily]

is there a benefit to upgrading the quality of a skill gem? i don't seem to see any changes in the skill nor the dps

[leaden salmon]

Press ALT then it shows you what the upgrade does

Sometimes it increases damage, sometimes its area of effect or duration

Depends on skill.

[ornate eagle]

Note that for some gems it does nothing. My guess is due to early access, they’re not complete yet

[timber lily]

omg... upgrading quality of spark did nothing, but archmage added more than 20k dps 🫨

[leaden salmon]

It does though

It fires 4 extra projectiles

Which is huge

[timber lily]

yeah, that was weird

maybe it didn't update when i was upgrading it

[ashen plume]

can elemental storm from stormwaver work with any elemental hit? even hits from elemental qstaff?

[ornate eagle]

For skills that have multiple tabs in the description, the gem quality may affect some of the tabs, you need to switch to those tabs to see the bonus

[timber lily]

gotcha, thanks @ornate eagle and @leaden salmon

[leaden salmon]

Some tooltips are bugged. Like the Duration of my Conductivity says 10.7 seconds even with my curse passive skills, but in reality its 20+ seconds. 4 more sparks will definitely improve damage on Spark

[ornate eagle]

Can you check the duration on the skill details page? It should show the correct duration. The one on the skill gem description is always static based on the gem level.

[leaden salmon]

Thats what I did.

[ornate eagle]

I see then it’s probably a bug

[leaden salmon]

That's what I said 😄

[rich fjord]

Why do lighting rangers prefeer ball lighting to spark? Spark benefits from projectile damage

[unique sandal]

high shock chance and also they use it for bosses only

[signal ivy]

Should I go pure ES or hybrid ES/Evasion on my minion infernalist? I'm on the fence at the moment. Related, would it be overkill to use grim feast, wind dancer, and ghost dance if I do go Evasion?

[unique sandal]

The hybrid builds I've seen (ranger, pathfinder) are using all 3

usually turn off grim feast for boss and turn on ghost shrouds

[tidal copper]

What if you use eternal youth? The flask energy shield one

[unique sandal]

I am using it but also pure ES so I only really use grim feast

idk your question really

[delicate aspen]

I'm at the point when my magma barrier level is high enough to ditch my giga armor shield and use feather fortress and holyshit IS IT FUN!

I'm fucking zooming around the map

[signal ivy]

Final question for my current theory crafting, is the matsya worth it for minions? My rough math is I'd effectively gain about 240 spirit with budget gear in exchange for the minion mods on my scepter and the defenses of an oaksworn.

[cloud pond]

Guys help me with something please.

I am running a
chronomancer with CoC. Basically I am using frost walls and frost bombs to kill things. I have around 30-40% crit chance. CoC works reasonable for clearing and really good for bosses.

My question is:

I tried using fireballs with frost walls to help me build CoC comet. It works really well for clearing. However, fireball had a lower crit chance than eye of the winter.

The problem: I can only use unleash on either eye of the winter or fireballs. I tend to think eye of winter might be better since it has higher base crit chance, but I am afraid it will lack in terms of AOE. What do you think? Fireball and frostwall or eye of the winter and frostwall?

Right now I have cheap gear: around 1d total. I know I can get higher crit, however I need something to help me farm.

[tidal copper]

Clear>bosses
If you can kill bosses at some point that's fine

[cloud pond]

I am trying to deduce which spell is worth putting unleash and projectile support gems. Is it fireball or eye of the winter?

[opal bobcat]

I tried to get low enough life to sustain demon form during campaign
For now I have 56 life and total regen of 21.6 per second
I should be able to sustain over 70 stacks, but I start losing life around 22 stacks and it puts me out of demon form around 30 stacks
Is there something I'm missing here? Even in the demon form's skill description it says I will lose 0.3 life per second and life regen still shows as 21.6 per second while in demon form

[wicked moss]

any infernalist having fun?

[tidal copper]

Looking for a meme build?

[wicked moss]

[tidal copper]

Is that a yes? Cause uh boy do I have the hottest theory build

[thorny token]

minimum life lost per stack is 1

so with 22 regen you can only sustain 22 stacks maximum

[opal bobcat]

Oh it doesn't say that anywhere

Why would they do that tho eh its weird

So there's no reason to go below 200 life then?

[real harness]

(Armour / block titan running the anvil bloodstone amulet)

My current shield has 530 armour on it and a great block rating, but I'm considering looking for a new one with better resistances and max life. Block rating is a must for me but can I afford to sacrifice the armour? I have passives that provide increased % defences from equipped shield but I don't know what counts as a defence. Additionally, I use magma barrier for damage and endurance charge generation, and I believe its damage scales off your shield's armour - so will it become quite weak if I go for a low armour shield?

[static plinth]

Armour evasion and energy shield are defences

[jovial blade]

which is better for melee monk? es or eva/es. I'm currently eva/es but i'm getting wrecked at tier 3 maps. I have all passives that increases my es/eva but still get 1 shot a lot

[thorny token]

correct

[tidal copper]

If you are using shield abilities those only count the base armour

[opal bobcat]

Damn, I'll remake my build then, sucks that it doesn't say that ingame tho

[tidal copper]

Ghost dance?

[jovial blade]

i have it but dont know why I do shit on maps. i was breezing through campaign

[real harness]

Oh no kidding!! Wow, alright, so none of the rolled traits adding flat or % armour are actually affecting my magma barrier's damage?

[static plinth]

They affect it, its % increased from the tree that dont affect it

[real harness]

In that case I'm much less worried about going for a shield with lower armour. Maybe I can even find one with higher base armour but without two traits locked up on flat & % armour, and actually boost my magma barrier instead of nerfing it.

Ah, okay, yeah, that's more what I expec

So ideally for magma barrier I do want a shield with a big fat armour total

[static plinth]

I guess but does that skill deal any decent damage

[tidal copper]

Did you update your equipment when you entered maps?
You can get pretty high level armour at this point a few exalts capped resistances should help

[real harness]

But with armour the way it is and magma barrier being pretty eh for damage output in general, prioritising life and resistances is more important

[jovial blade]

do you think i need to prioritized capped resistance over rarity?

[static plinth]

Yes

You only go for rarity if you have everything else in excess

[real harness]

Hmm, can shields roll + % all elemental resistances?

[jovial blade]

Okay gotcha. thanks

so es/eva is still the way to go ?\

[atomic verge]

Does anyone have hand of wisdom?

[real harness]

Like, in a general "what is the meta" sense, you mean?

[floral helm]

Are damage tool tips broken on PS5?

I'm not sure what's going on but my spark should be dealing it so much more damage than it is... And I've double and triple checked everything and I'm not sure what's happening

[hollow bronze]

I just started to use Combat frenzy on monk, with charged staff. I'm lighting based. Is there anything I can add to hoT to give me mana leach?

I started cruel mode today so don't wanna be lacking mana in fights

[jaunty flame]

do any builds actually use this? it looks nice but i dont believe ive actually seen anyone use it

[frosty finch]

Guys hear me out
Merc spam explosive grenade
Blueflame bracers
Herald of ice
Herald of ash

[tribal pollen]

If I take Break Focus to reduce enemy accuracy, will this effect scale by Mark Skill effect % ?

I checked tooltips and enemy debuff icons, but the accuracy penalty does not appear anywhere, so I have no clue if the 15% reduction can be changed

[waxen jewel]

Does anyone know whether Energy Retention support benefit from increased energy gain itself?

Whatever really, playtesting is what decides what I'll do, I'm just too curious

[jovial blade]

does anyone actually using chaos orb?

Just curious.

[carmine flicker]

I rerolled map once

[waxen jewel]

Yeah well if there's an item with 3 modifiers: like 2 amazing modifiers, but 1 bad one. That's the optimal situation to use chaos orb.

[urban stratus]

Any way to import a maxroll build into PoB2? Tried importing on a build that was made a few weeks ago and it doesn't like the URL, not sure if it only works on newer builds after release...

[hollow bronze]

Does it reroll the worse stat or is it random??

[waxen jewel]

It's random, but you have 1/3 chance there to first hit the right modifier and then 1/(way too many) to hit an actually useful modifier with useful mod tier

But that's the best use I case I know for it

Chaos orb is Orb of Annulment + Exalt combined

With some ultra late game exceptions (some omen's modify specifically those currencies I mentioned)

[hollow bronze]

Ahhh okay, I'm still very new to crafting I started it at the end of POE1 before I got POE2 Haha

I got a good staff once then I just Vaaled it then it bricked it :/

[waxen jewel]

Chaos is the second rarest currency I've actually gotten on my level 81 Deadeye

[hollow bronze]

No idea what vall does at the time

[waxen jewel]

Rarest are the 3 divines

Don't be too shy on using exalts when you start getting them. Upgrading gear makes you upgrade your gear again faster

[hollow bronze]

Is there a place in Acts to farm Ex's btw or is it random like everything

I have like 30ex so far, just started cruel mode today so maybe I'll slap some on my gear

[waxen jewel]

Except if you go full wallstreet and treat exalts = perfect Rares, that's your choice of course

Defs if you got 30

I've been constantly using few here and there on most promising items.

Also use regals, those are not rare

[hollow bronze]

Yeah when trading I sell most my gear for regala then when I have 200 I'm going to buy ex's with them

As nobody wants to buy my gear with Ex sooo lol

[waxen jewel]

Example situation where I might use a chaos:
I started crafting this bow when it only had the Dexterity suffix.
I used Orb of Augmentation and got lucky with the Added physical damage. Because I hit a good mod, I decided that it's worth spending regal on this.
Now I hit a great suffix (+4 projectiles).
A player that already had a good bow, might want to chaos here if he isn't interested in the +Dexterity (Bows have exclusive modifiers way more important than an attribute that can be gotten from almost anywhere (not from belts))

I'll just spam exalts on it and try to hit a high enough +% Increased Physical Damage or some other good mods like Added lightning might compensate it

[hollow bronze]

I had a bow like that with 3+ lvl project I didn't know it was any good so I just sold it in the ven lol

That's a good example tbh thank you, I need to learn when I should add curr to items tbh

[waxen jewel]

It isn't anything super special if you are playing in trade league

I just want to prevent trading because it has ruined too many games for me (I get sucked in, just trading and playing Wall Street simulator)

[hollow bronze]

Yeah that's what is happening to me ATM tbh lmao

My play time is maybe 40% in town trading..

Trading is fun when you want to buy things but yeah, playying maps when I eventually get there will be better tbh

[waxen jewel]

And yeah....

My old bow has 0 projectile levels so it wouldn't have been hard to beat

But that's what poe2 seems to be. Just identifying thousands and thousands of bows

[hollow bronze]

Is there a guide if where the Orbs will roll on wepasons? That's where I get confused tbh

[waxen jewel]

Do you mean the affixes AKA modifiers?

[tulip fog]

doesnt look too bad i suppose just need to figure out how to maximize my defenses now

best of all is that this is just with baseline exposure from the support since incinerate's heightened exposure limit isnt implemented yet in POB

so id say its probably closer to 100K/sec than 70K/sec

[signal copper]

Does anyone know if strip away works on a skill if it has one of the exposure supports, or if it requires the skill to have innate exposure like frost bomb?

[gritty leaf]

what are ways to spend frenzy charges or get actual buffs from frenzy charges in the game currently? apparently my melee build can generate frenzy charges without extra investment but i cant find a way to use that

wasnt there a skill or support that gave some buff when you had charges?

i found ferocity support and thats it

[signal copper]

You can always go into the supports and search frenzy with all gems and see what pops up

[gritty leaf]

charge infusion is the gem i looked for, it doesnt show on poe2db gem list for some reason

[tidal copper]

PoE DB isn't working well yeah, I have been entering in the gem section to search instead

[pearl goblet]

I can't figure out which support gems to slot to maximize damage ._.

Can POB help with that?

[whole silo]

Hi i want to start poisonous concoction as my first build is it good for beginners?

[tidal copper]

50/50

[dire lance]

I am trying to scale poison for pathfinder, I was noticing that poison burst arrow's poison damage was going with elemetal + damage on my bow. That is incorrect right?

I wish poison damage was more transparent on advanced tool tip.

[compact mountain]

Umm would you guys say that anything above 80% Adorned is overkill or worth it if you can afford it?

[gritty leaf]

if you gotta ask probably not worth

[dawn spire]

I'd say poison concoction is one of the best solo self found league starters, so yeah, pretty solid for beginners imo

[whole silo]

Ok thank you

[tidal copper]

You do need widow don't you?

[whole silo]

Which build should i follow for poisonous conc

[dawn spire]

Idk, it kinda builds itself imo. Get pconc, get poison, bada Bing bada boom

[fierce ore]

Is the Onslaught Effect Stackable (can I use the rings 2 times) ?

[dawn spire]

No, especially since they made it so pconc doesn't scale with bow damage anymore

[dawn spire]

Buffs of the same name do not stack

[tidal copper]

What are people using this days?

[fierce ore]

ty for the info - good to know

[dawn spire]

Idk, probably a decent rare shield and just throwing poison

It's a skill that scales with your level and doesn't need jeweller's. It's an ssf dream come true

[fierce ore]

For Trade Leveling there is a really cheap build with widowhail crude bow

[dawn spire]

Didn't they change it so bow damage doesn't scale concoctions? Or is that next patch?

[whole silo]

I like poisonous conc of bouncing in poe 1 it feels good when using it

[gloomy jackal]

gem lvls still scale it

[dawn spire]

Oh, I see

You get widow hail + quiver nodes so you can get 300% inc effect of quiver and get a quiver with +2 base so you have +8 levels to your concoction. Damn

[gloomy jackal]

and it doesnt even cost mana which is usually an issue with gem lvls

[quartz cairn]

Is there anywhere I can see a general "what stats are best on which gear" or one that's specific to Ice Strike Invoker? I've got my resistances capped for example but I feel like having resistances on gloves is bad where I can have better offensive stats like crit or AS. Same with amulet

[near timber]

is this based on the max hp or unreserved hp?

[gloomy jackal]

for dps you can use Path of building and it generates a search that sorts by how much dmg you gain, for ehp it might be doable but havent tried

[remote shadow]

With the chnages to Armor, is it worth going Armor + EV or Armor + ES now?

[sleek lantern]

Trying to find a great blood mage build if anyone can help me

Tried making a chaos build but wasn’t enjoying it as much

[quartz cairn]

Yeah I have PoB I meant more along the lines of what I'm looking for on my gear at high end. Like on my boots, I would want: 30% ms, 30+% of each resistance, probably +evasion and energy shield.

I followed a build and I'm comfortably doing t15/16 I'm just trying to absolute min max and wonder if there is a general guide to what's ideal on each gear slot

[gloomy jackal]

it completely depends on the build 😛 best bet is to find someone with minmaxed gear and look at them

[waxen jewel]

Does the "Gain 1 Rage on Hit" vaal enchantment work on non-melee hits or is it just a typo?

I really assume its typo because the design of rage is clearly to make it very hard to use without melee skills

[gusty kindle]

is this worth putting divines on it?

If I get more phys% or more level on skills its insane no?

[fierce ore]

you can not divine out of your tier

e.g if a stat is tier 2 it cant get better then in the range

[waxen jewel]

Yeah, definitely not worth divining.

That +2 to melee skills is very sad

[gusty kindle]

yeah unfortunate

[bold oxide]

uploaded my pconc if anyone wants to see/has any advice

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/ycf3505a

[gusty kindle]

imagine it would be +4 and atleast 150% dmg man

[final mesa]

what damage is "Increased Damage" actually increasing?

some increase in damage say increased physical damage, or increased cold damage

is it safe to assume this is ALL types of damage?

[upper viper]

Finally
passed 600 spirit

[delicate aspen]

Is there a support gem that prevents raising shield from slowing me down? Like what Feathered Fortress does?

I reallllly enjoy using it. but giving up my 1200 armor shield is a bitch and a half

[old shuttle]

any good defensive uniques jewels that can be a big boon? cause i have 1 socket open on my tree id say, maybe 2. im thinking of getting an "allocates X and Y" and have a "dmg taken from mana" allocate. but curious if there is better. (70%armour, 3.2khp, 1.3k mana, no es)

[old shuttle]

in general you probs dont care about raise shield. Block chance is whats most important. Though the Wailing i think its called, letting you block all damafe is crazy.

[delicate aspen]

Magma barrier build, I'm using raise shield, or rather resonating shield actively to attack, so I do care in this specific case sadly

[old shuttle]

aaaaah fair. what about shield charge and a boat load of Attack Speed (idk if as scales shield charge)

[delicate aspen]

I don't care about those. It's about the flow of combat

I'm already happy with my dps, it's about QOL now and more defences if possible

It's just so enjoyable to use the featherd fortress, but I feel like I'm made out of cardboard

[old shuttle]

all i could think of is like, boat loads of MS, maybe on jewels. That or Blink + Shield

[brazen flame]

Anyone have any advice for good build to spam sekhemas tier 4, fast with good clear, ranged pref

[old shuttle]

clear answer if blink spark

[mortal cloak]

Would this translate into lightning damage on a skill that converts physical into lightning?

I think yes, but if I do very little phys and almost all lightning it will boost my lightning a tiny amount....?

[thorny token]

nope

[umbral vine]

https://i.imgur.com/xB3K2Pc.png
ill ask again
does this thing work correctly? i see some people report on forums as it not work at all?
or maybe it not affect ES?

why you think so? if it does its a bug

[fiery scaffold]

are these 2 values base dmg and crit dmg?

[maiden stag]

Is increased rarity worth it?

[fiery scaffold]

if not what are they then

[old shuttle]

dmg range

stuff just has ranges in general. lightning being the most egregious in ranges. ranging from 1 - 1000 or other nonsense

[umbral vine]

bleed is phys mate

and it kinda obvious?

[fiery scaffold]

im building tempest flurry monk and i cant decide which of these 2 staffs are better considering im using charged staff

[dawn spire]

Bleed is physical. Poison is from physical and/or chaos

Oh, I was scrolled up

[tidal copper]

PoB

[fiery scaffold]

pob?

[tidal copper]

Po...B!

[umbral vine]

pob calculates bs.

[dawn spire]

Path of building

[umbral vine]

anyone have correct dps comparing to ingame tooltip in pob?

[tidal copper]

Fair might as well use the in game tool tip at this point

[dawn spire]

There's a link to download it in #other-news

[fiery scaffold]

thx

[quick matrix]

what witch build is reccomended for endgame

[verbal sundial]

is this worth switching my build to fire 😂 only level 15 rn

[dawn spire]

Of the few builds people have discovered in the infancy of this game, raging spirit infernalist and hexblast infernalist are pretty popular

Probably lots more as well

I think blood mage hexblast is also solid

[quick matrix]

ive used arsonist for the whole campaign and just wanna chnage it for something more fun tbh

[dawn spire]

Depends on what your other weapon looks like and if you have a gem you can cut for a solid fire spell

[pine vine]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/ha37a0w5

this still a valid build to go for?

[dawn spire]

What does valid mean?

[verbal sundial]

@dawn spire this is what i'm rolling with rn

[dawn spire]

What spell(s) are you using currently?

And for the love of god, augment that focus XD

[verbal sundial]

just fire wall and spark

i just started playing yesterday so my b :x

[pine vine]

lv 90 almost 91, start gettin some trouble and id like to switch things up. got like 20 divs rn to spend and might sell some for divs.
just wondering if its still possible to stat stack like crazy or did they change something hardly on last patch?

[hybrid ocean]

Anyone know how to search for these on the trade site?

Specifically interested in black scythe training

[quick matrix]

something like this ? https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/profile/5d1b06da-ed4d-4831-84c4-fb942a0203a2/builds/c1d540cd-886a-4c2b-83bd-4d8eeeceb54d

[dawn spire]

#old-game-news has the patch notes, but nothing major was nerfed aside from poison concoction scaling with bow damage, I think

[verbal sundial]

@dawn spire augment is the one that adds 1 property to a magic item right?

[dawn spire]

Yeah, the orb of augmentation

[hybrid ocean]

Or are do the kalguuran conquest things turn other keystones into these?

[pine vine]

do you play invo rn? would you reccomend going for stat stacking with like 20 divs or rather another build?

[dawn spire]

As of right now I exclusively have played ssf chronomancers lol

So idk what 20 divs can get you

[pine vine]

cause ive seen alot cast on shock/freeze/crit builds and i cant hold the mana right lol + the dmg aint that high with my build anyway

ah damn 😄

[jaunty flame]

20 divs can get you some random controlled metamorphosis jewels

[spice abyss]

Ive had this wand since level 26 and am lvl 45 storm weaver now, what should i be looking for in a new wand?

[violet yarrow]

should I just always go mana regen for the venom in act3 if I'm gonna go MoM or you stack so much mana regen to the point that 25% inc doesnt really matter that much?

[upper viper]

The show power nodes in POB is quite cool i must say.

[jaunty flame]

exactly the same but with higher values and + crit damage instead of mana regen

maybe some gain damage as lightning

[spice abyss]

Thank you

[carmine flicker]

Enfeeble or temporal chains for defence blashemy?

[somber pendant]

With good range from the tree I'd say temp chains otherwise enfeeble

[wheat heath]

what do you guys think about the ability to hide nodes on the skill tree on demand in the game client?

I feel like if I could just block all the BS nodes that dont matter to my build at all it would help me plan pathing better in game.

Like hide all the lightning / fire / cold / spell nodes if im playing minion builds for example.

I would even pay for this feature if GGG coded it and sold in shop

[somber pendant]

Kinda depends on what else your doing too tho, how much will the slow help you from temp chains?

From the range it's applied at

[carmine flicker]

You probably shouldn't plan tree in game anyway
Pob exist

[upper viper]

Putting your build into POB just to see damage, both surprises one and makes on sad. Thinking you did more damage 😂

Hey Twice, how are we

[wheat heath]

yea i should "have" to download a 3rd party client to plan my build

i agree with you totally

[carmine flicker]

It was always that way and it's way more handy

[somber pendant]

You probably do, pob isn't calculating alot of things just yet

[upper viper]

yeah i know, build feels better then the numbers shown here. Specially when bossing

[somber pendant]

Without custom configurations

[carmine flicker]

Hey, all good
Lvling up my ssjockwave gemling
Works nice so far

[safe shore]

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/profile/a5676af4-778e-43ae-b445-cbad25548ae7/builds/0dbaf502-7080-45e5-97bb-91b448edf7cd?weaponSet=set1

Can anyone give me some ideas what else can I spend my last 42 spirit on instead of clarity and canibalism?

[upper viper]

Awesome, i have a gemling to. His my impending doom blaster. Having my fun, plus my minion build when i want to relax XD

[carmine flicker]

Ehh, I go for 2-3k regen 90 res one button cleaner

So far relaxing

[upper viper]

Noise, im tempted to do some kind of howa build soon. To see how far i can stack int XD

Just need to save up

[spice abyss]

how do i get an acrid wand?

[carmine flicker]

Just idk what to do with spirit
Nothing useful there

[thin basin]

you can scale the "gain % as extra ele dmg" right?

[carmine flicker]

Scale with what?

[thin basin]

the tree and other stuff

[carmine flicker]

If you gain 50% of you phys as fire those gained scale with % increased to fire, but not phys

Etc

[leaden moth]

Alright so just finished unlocking the hooded one so I can respec now if I want to. I am playing hardcore ssf blind (also my first ARPG I think?). Playing as Witch, and obviously my main goal is to just not die even if I sacrifice damage. I am currently stacking energy shield and looking for any gear with +energy shield as modifiers. These are my passive nodes, and skills + support gems:

[keen geyser]

Since I'm too stupid to figure out the math, what's best? Stacking To maximum ES or % increased ES? Or both, on gear? At level 93, I've currently prioritized both, but with a higher value on maximum ES. I'm curious if it should be the other way around. Would stacking and prioritizing higher value of % increased ES than maximum ES on gear be better in the long run? What's your experience with this? I'm using Witch.

[leaden moth]

Ive seen ppl talking about some bow rod of lightning build thats super good on all characters, but I want to play Witch and primarily use her abilities unless I lose out on so much survivability/damage thats its just not worth it. What can I do to optimize my build?

[carmine flicker]

On gear you mean amulets/rings?

[keen geyser]

On everything that has singular or both modifiers, i guess.

[carmine flicker]

Well
It's different on armour and jewellery
On armour all mods are local and affect only numbers on said armour
You see final number it give you in it's description

[leaden moth]

Oh right I should upgrade my chaos bolt sorry

[carmine flicker]

On amulet mods are global and affects all your es

But you can have so much global increases from tree that a bit from amulet is drop in the ocean

[carmine flicker]

If you go witch you go minions at first
They are good

Snipers+flame wall is great

[keen geyser]

Well, i wasn't aware of that to be honest. And it complicates my question even more, i guess. Let's focus on armor then. An example. My chest piece has + 50 to maximum energy shield, and 50 % increased energy shield. What would be the best to prioritze, would it be +25 to maximum energy shield, or 75 % increased energy shield, or the other way around. What is the best value to go for. Or am i overthinking things?

[carmine flicker]

Way overthinking
Look at final number

On armour I mean

[leaden moth]

ye thats what im doing

[carmine flicker]

Game calculated it for you already

[gusty kindle]

What in the world is the chance to get the increase Rarity of Items found Soul in trials of Chaos??? Ive ran 50 runs and didnt get it once (lvl 80)

[carmine flicker]

Don't bother with other skills
Snipers, wall, raging spirit
Then infernal hound to tank

Other buttons just distract you

[leaden moth]

alright

[keen geyser]

Thanks. Maybe it's more simple than i think, lol.

[leaden moth]

whats raging spirit?

[carmine flicker]

Spirit gem
You will get it from act1 quest

[safe shore]

Anyone could help me decide what else I can put in herald of thunder? This is what I have: innervate / electrocute / lightning mastery / neutral overload

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/profile/a5676af4-778e-43ae-b445-cbad25548ae7/builds/0dbaf502-7080-45e5-97bb-91b448edf7cd?weaponSet=set1

this is the build I am following

Also, is there any way I can replace Lightning Infusion so I can slot in Herald of Ice for more damage? Or Herald of Ice won't help maybe?

[rancid flame]

Do arsonist minions need accuracy?

[leaden moth]

is my build currently ok? what should i go for now in my passives?

[carmine flicker]

You need minion damage for now

And drop that wand, go for scepter

[fiery scaffold]

in pob how do i add my ascenssion tree points

[midnight bolt]

The ascendency circles are around the main tree on the edge, not in the middle

[fiery scaffold]

OH

ty

[leaden moth]

so something like this?

[carmine flicker]

Then go to mind over matter
It adds a lot of survival early

And keep flame wall lvl 1
Don't ever raise it

It's purpose is to ignite and summon spirits

So lvl 1 will do that for cheap

[leaden moth]

so like this?

[carmine flicker]

% energy shield are wasted nodes till you take big endgame es items
And mana you get per level passively

[cunning panther]

can someone recommend leveling build for summoner ?

[leaden moth]

alright thanks for the help

but what gear should i take?

should i still stack ES with life modifiers and resistances?

[carmine flicker]

You can go like that
And grab that big minion circle after that

[leaden moth]

big minion circle?

[sharp warren]

I wanna make a spark stormweaver and want to get through the campaign as quick as possible. I was wondering what the quickest leveling build is, i basically have an unlimited budget.

[carmine flicker]

You patched right near it

[leaden moth]

oh this?

[carmine flicker]

Ye

[leaden moth]

alr ty so to recap: go for mom, 2 sceptres, ES gear with +life and resistances, go for skele archers, use lv 1 firewall to detonate and apply ignite, for regular mobs use essence drain + contagion + unearth, then for bosses use what?

[delicate aspen]

whats the fastest leveling 1-30 build for gemling twink?

[spare root]

is 136 magic find overkill?

[sharp warren]

no

[leaden moth]

I can only have one scepter

or do they need to be the same?

[carmine flicker]

only one

[leaden moth]

okay then what should I drop my wand for

[carmine flicker]

shield with some res
you can raise it if things go bad

[leaden moth]

ah ok and then when i get mom i replace it with mana drain wand right?

[carmine flicker]

can work
didn't try mana drain myself

[near timber]

ice cascade > ice strike

[leaden moth]

sorry for asking so much but one last thing: what shield?

[carmine flicker]

don't be sorry

and any shield you can use with at least some str, int or resistances

armour and eva doesn't matter at all
useless stats for you

and I had smth like that early game(around lvl 50)

doubt you will get to 50 in hardcore tho

[rancid cipher]

Are there any actual unarmed weapons, or is it only for when you don't have a weapon equipped?

[tidal copper]

Unarmed weapon..?
You can use a shield I believe

[narrow ermine]

I want a braindead farmer for when I am tired, so are there any close to "immortal" builds yet? I do not care too much about the DPS aspect of it for this one.

[distant tendon]

is trampletoe good for gemling stat stacker?

[minor tree]

Does the warbringer node that explodes corpses work with sacrifice?

Would be really funny to have a warcry based detonate dead alternative x)

[marsh sparrow]

hello can you stack delirium enchants with nodes on the passive tree

to get double the effect

or naw

[pine vine]

one effect one amulet

[marsh sparrow]

i see i see thank you

[carmine flicker]

well, high ES minion infernalist is close to braindead
you just, well, walk

[untold cipher]

I have been experimenting with Path of Building and the Shopper from it and it seems to be fine mostly but I am mostly wondering if something Increases my Ice Shot's DPS but lowers my herald's Damage, is it a bad thing? I am trying to figure what is the thing that kills the mobs with double heralds or is it just bad to try and use PoB with Double Heralds?

or should I just swap to Herald of Thunder and try to stick with it?

[marsh bluff]

Are there any meta builds for the witch without summons?

[patent void]

Can someone explain why Physical damage makes such a big difference in most builds? For example, even though my skill says I do 45k dps with a +2 projectile bow with Physical Damage of 132-248, I kill bosses 2 times faster with my 193-329 Bow that shoots 2 less. Skiill dps only went down about 20% across the board. Just doesnt make sense to me

[minor tree]

does anyone know if warbringer's corpse detonation on warcry node can consume minions with sacrifice? i don't have the int to try ;_;

[orchid vector]

Are there other ways to get power charger from a monk electric build besides killing palm and siphon strike am having a bit of a power charge balancing act between using charged staff and falling thunder

[carmine flicker]

infernalist or blood mage?

there was smth about self cast crit blood mage

then again no reason not to include utility summons if you have free spirit
one storm mage is already enough to shock at random etc

[minor tree]

the most seamless way is combat frenzy + resonance

profane ritual when mapping works well, any pack = full charges

can combo with sacrifice with a random scepter on weapon swap for infinite charges on demand

and there's redflare for absolutely ludicrous charges, but now you're made of tissue paper

(ludicrous as in falling thunder becomes the only attack you need)

[marsh bluff]

Just don’t like summons xd

[midnight bolt]

is passive tree the only source of minion revival speed?

[hybrid obsidian]

is anyone using sidekick? wondering how popular it is since game is so big everyoen getting hacked scared of all the 3rd party stuff

[tidal copper]

Am i crazy or is the average price of instilling crazy high??
like i feel every node requires an isolation

[arctic minnow]

does 'crit hit chance' and 'crit hit chance for spells' stack together additively or multiplicatively? or does it only take the highest % out of the two?

[hybrid obsidian]

in poe 1 they stack they only characterize differntly because some apply to specific things only, so you can tuse every single crit node at any time like mellee, spell, bow being sepparate for instance

generically if it just says hit, stacks with the other specific ones

[arctic minnow]

okay so it does stack but is it multiplicatively or additively?

[pine vine]

nah, overlay it is

[hybrid obsidian]

ive had issues with overlay in the past not working with my monitor, i ended up using apoetrade but there isnt one for poe2

you get any issues with firewall flaggs or anything with overlay?

[pine vine]

nope, never had in no game

[hybrid obsidian]

overlay has programable shortcuts for /inv /hideout etc right?

[pine vine]

using it standart whise should be enough for most of the ppl tho

its pretty simple

[cyan plover]

my build says to get a jewel with mana on kill but i cant find one , does it even exist? All i found was increased mana leech

[viral crag]

@ like you requested.
Decided potential on hexblast was worth it, having a lot of fun with it so far.
I was already on inevitable crit and like potential better there, more consistent for me so far.

[pine vine]

sapphire, 2%

[static plinth]

Fair enough, im doing pure DoT though and not running hexblast

[viral crag]

Ah, it's tougher for you then because if dots work like poe you're only really getting value on crit on ED

[wild berry]

how sensitive are the meta diamonds? Could I allocate the red circled node with this for example? Is it enough if it touches the circle, or does it need to be fully inside?

[viral crag]

I guess technically Effigy if you run it, but I'm not sure how much value you get out of effigy currently since without Hexblast you don't have much incentive to go on-hit/gain.

[pine vine]

i could use the top one even tho its mostly outside

[cyan plover]

ITS A WHOLE ASS DIV

[pine vine]

yes

[cyan plover]

gawd dayum

[viral crag]

You take the 1% and you live with it.

[cyan plover]

is the 1 even good enough?

[viral crag]

I mean, it's half as good as the 2% lol

[wild berry]

cool, so a slight touch is already enough

[cyan plover]

ill try my best at gambling

I dont have the div

update: I didnt get it

[pine vine]

whats your ig

[cyan plover]

Omeletman

[static plinth]

If the center of the node is inside you're good, otherwise usually not

[viral crag]

So... apparently Event Horizon is 3% of your max Life and ES.

[restive furnace]

I'm confused about this passive. When I add either the left or right node, doesn't matter which, I get a pretty significant bump in damage.

When I add the second node though, it goes up only a single DPS? What am I not understanding about this?

.

[tropic dock]

how can i make charge staff works without combat frenzy ?

killing palm charges is not activating it

[tame hare]

Is there a rankin which ranks builds based on their dopamine release? (most millenial question ever I know)

[viral crag]

Not sure what you're saying, because they should work just fine.
Killing palm generates power charges when it kills, charged staff consumes power charges.

[viral crag]

Too personal. My dopamine comes from dots and D3 witch doctor running carnevil or jade harvester, and here I am playing my own jade harvester but better build

[tropic dock]

is it because i have resonance on ?, its not working for me at all

[plain matrix]

do you level Spark until Archmage or is there a better way to lvl fast ?

[tropic dock]

i get the charges from killing palm, but i cant activate charge staff

[viral crag]

Probably. Check the charges after killing palm generates, they're likely not power charges anymore.

Pretty sure resonance turns them into endurance charges iirc.

[viral crag]

Yep. Charged Staff needs power charges.

[muted dagger]

Is a full auto lightning Merc viable for endgame?

[viral crag]

So either get rid of resonance or find a way to generate... frenzy, I think?

Whatever resonance turns into power.

[tropic dock]

so i should get rid of that till i get combat frenzy ?

[viral crag]

I'm gonna be honest, I know this game well but I don't know monk stuff 😅

[tame hare]

I like those builds too, especially poison dart. I also really enjoyed the OG necromancer from D2.

[viral crag]

You either find a way to make frenzy charges or get rid of resonance @tropic dock

[tame hare]

But I was thinking about some high dopamine flicker strike cast on crit build. is there something like that?

[tropic dock]

ty for helping

[viral crag]

See, that's the sort of thing people can answer 🙂

That's all I was getting at, we don't know what gets your brain firing until you tell us lol

[dim flame]

whats highest prio stats for end game quiver?
found one with

• attack speed (implicit)
• phys dmg
• light dmg
• projectile speed
• attack speed (again)
• life p kill
• mana p kill

[tame hare]

Have you found an alternative to poison dart sycophants from D III?

[viral crag]

Nothing that really hits the same vibes as the old carnevil/fetish type build.

Like the Raging Spirits support gets close by summoning flaming skulls when you hit with fire spells, but it's not the same as getting a bunch of little dudes to shoot poison at whatever you point at.

[leaden moth]

Alright so just killed king of mists and DAMN was he hard im playing hardcore ssf. I am playing witch, going for MOM with minions. I got a spirit gem, what do I spend it on?

[viral crag]

Skill gems/build help more than character in that decision

I'm chronomancer and odds are good I've got more of a "witch" build than you 😅

[leaden moth]

well im just taking witch abilities + firewall

[viral crag]

Nice. What defenses are you using at the moment?

[leaden moth]

uh im trying to just stack energy shield since someone told me armor and evasion is practically useless for my build but atm i got some super good rares with only slightly less energy shield and a lot of armor (boots n chest)

oh and im using a shield + scepter

[viral crag]

I wouldn't say eva is useless on your build, but as a solo it definitely would be (especially for hc)

Eva makes you get hit less often, but the hit you take eventually will still hurt lol

In that case, Grim Feast is a great pick if it's available on that spirit gem (especially for hc)

Good survivability especially when getting swarmed.

If you can kill some of a pack they'll drop you a nice little ES boost.

[leaden moth]

Well arent bosses mostly run killers? Freythorn was omega scary though idk why they are so strong, stronger than like farmlands by a decent amount but ig its because i have 0 chaos resist (dont know how to get)

[viral crag]

Chaos resist is rare, but much lower concern until late act 3 if I'm being honest (there's some jungle stuff that will hurt, but not quite like Utzaal)

[leaden moth]

Anyways im going to take a bath, idk how rare spirit gems are so if anybody else has a suggestion they can share otherwise I will go "grim feast"

[viral crag]

Most bosses still summon occasional add waves though, and it's not like the other options are going to be majorly impactful by comparison.

Unless there's some neat HC tech option I don't know about yet.

[leaden moth]

yeah im omega cucking out to just survivability over DPS since I want to go blind and this is my first ARPG and im doing hardcore SSF.

[viral crag]

Honestly, you are taking the right approach.

[leaden moth]

Also maybe its just me but like all regular mobs die really fast anyways and bosses go pretty quickly too, like half a minute to a minute

And monk and witch are the only really "fun" characters i feel like (atleast early game lol)

[viral crag]

There is only a single optional boss I can think of that technically can be a dps race, the rest of the time the only cost of taking longer to do a fight is that you do more mechanics and use more resources (potions mainly)

So going heavy survivability is almost never a bad idea, especially in HC lol

[leaden moth]

yeah the king of mists had a stackable thing thats why he was really scary

[viral crag]

He had a stackable thing... if you didn't destroy the totems that were stacking it.

[leaden moth]

oh he had totems? lmaoooo

[viral crag]

Yeah, honestly pretty hard to see imo

The only boss that really can turn into a DPS race, at least that I would argue, is the side boss in the forge late in the game.

Won't spoil it unless you ask because it's a pretty neat fight, but even if you do the mechanics right technically there's still a timer on that one.

[leaden moth]

Anyways, got my first spirit gem, using it on grim feast, anybody has anything else they would recommend for MOM + minions witch build with flame wall, ES gear with +resists and +life, sceptre + shield, then do tell.

[hybrid obsidian]

how important is it i take stun threshhold nodes as a ci with no armour or eva?

[viral crag]

Most people seem to get by with a nice stun charm rather than going stun threshold, but if you're heavy into ES then maybe you'll get some value out of it.

Since you get the %ES to stun threshold nodess.

[cyan plover]

how do people still hold the orbs on their cursor when applying them to do it faster?

[viral crag]

Hold shift on PC, not sure about console.

[leaden moth]

Yeah thanks for telling me I don't mind spoilers if it's like omega BS or something (like this) and will keep this in mind

[hybrid obsidian]

kinda of a hard to answer qeuastions here but , roughlys peaking, im running spark stormweaver, converting with brotherhood to cold, iTHE QUESTION: if i get a corrupted brotherhood with like 90% instead of 100% conversion do you think ic an still apply shocks ? i have a lot of access to shock % its more just that i have little lightning damage doing that

[rustic glade]

so chaos innoculation doesn't work with demon form eh? here I thought I was being clever

[viral crag]

Not so much omega BS as a "not immediately obvious mechanic"
Dude ||has a buff that makes him stronger and take less damage iirc|| which you can counteract by ||pulling him away from the molten metal, so that when he cools off and walks back to refresh you get more time of him being debuffed to deal damage||, but the main issue is that ||you're still fighting the clock because the liquid metal constantly flows at you until you run out of room|| so that advantage, and your time in that fight, will eventually run out.

[viral crag]

Sure it does. You revert to human form when you reach 1 life, and with CI you immediately reach 1 life.
Working as intended

[spice abyss]

Which staff is best for my sorc stormweaver?

[static plinth]

yup. its ass

[viral crag]

I was disappointed when I found bellbird in a map, froze them before they could walk to the first door and kind of got spam-happy with my spells.

Luckily that's a fight where I could portal back and refill my flasks. Didn't realize I had burnt through them all so quick lol

[plain matrix]

can chronomancer reset Minion Commands ?

[viral crag]

I'm still on it because Spaghetti is great, but long-term I might consider going meta there and dropping the other stuff.

[viral crag]

I've not tried, but I also don't see why not 🤔

[static plinth]

Yeah, spaghettification is so good but Event Horizon is sooo bad

[viral crag]

@plain matrix Not played with minions much, so main question I'll ask: I think I remember the minion commands showing no cooldown timer on the ability right?

I think you just get a charge count.

Once I've thought about it, I wouldn't expect it to work.

I think I remember it functioning like that, where the ability was something that was handled by the individual minion and not a cooldown shown for you.

In which case, you don't use a cooldown that chrono would have an opportunity to reset.

[vital quail]

I'm doing 3-dragons/shockburst, and I'm not sure how Kitoko's would effect that...

[static plinth]

You get freeze and electrocute

[vital quail]

Would the electrocute build on the shockburst?

or on fire damage?

[muted dagger]

Im not a sorc but I might try it if this is good, what do y'all think?

[static plinth]

Three Dragons doesnt affect Electrocute, it builds on lightning damage

[vital quail]

thanks

[daring bobcat]

unfortunately quite terrible. For spells, skill lvls is most important

[viral crag]

Your lightning damage will build electrocute and freeze, your fire damage will build shock.

That is a weird sentence lol

[muted dagger]

Ripp

[hybrid obsidian]

does this mean it cannot reach level 20 now? or it was just downleveled

[viral crag]

I will say that you can get away without skill level while gearing with a big enough spell damage boost, but this ain't it lol

[daring bobcat]

it cannot reach lvl 20 anymore. except from other bonuses but the gem will be 19 at most

[sonic pollen]

What's the lowest % Ingenuity Utility Belt would you say you would go before the price isn't worth it?

[viral crag]

Like I recently dropped a +4 wand but I gained +140% damage, 50% crit chance, and 25% cast speed

[gray patrol]

That depends a lot on the rings that you have imo

[lethal depot]

how exactly does ele res pen and ele exposure interact? is ele pen taken into account first and then exposure?

[merry bone]

this is just math - you need to look at your rings - run the numbers, and determine if its better than what you could get from a belt.

[merry bone]

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

Pen Last - never bring something below 0. If you are reducing to 0 already, all pen gets wasted

[lethal depot]

ah, thanks!

[sonic pollen]

It would probably include a ring overhaul too.... I'm thinking like 50% is probably a decent starting point but wasn't sure everyone's thought process on it

[static plinth]

50% is the minimum id consider

[viral crag]

My issue with this one in particular is that usually I just plug into pob nowadays and do the numbers, but that's not a little purchase last I checked.

If I'm going to buy one, I'm going to buy a good one lol

[static plinth]

Dang, 75% ingenuities are only 25d?

[viral crag]

Wow, lot cheaper than I expected.

At that point I'm not sure why I would buy a 50 🤔

[merry bone]

Yea 70+ for 22 div uncorrupted. Im not buying a 50% ever.

[static plinth]

Yeah

Wish i had the money on hand to buy this one

[sonic pollen]

I don't have that many div lol just started a few weeks ago lol so still pretty new

[viral crag]

Where are you at in terms of gearing/mapping?

[static plinth]

If you can afford a 50%, you can save up for a while to afford a 75%

[sonic pollen]

I'm on the quest to finish 15s.... But 15s still pretty easy so far

[static plinth]

And if you cant afford a 50%, you shouldnt buy an ingenuity

[viral crag]

If you've not yet finished 15s, you probably shouldn't be spending divs on gear yet 🙂

[merry bone]

If you cant afford 2 rings good enough for an ingenuity - you shouldnt be thinking about ingenuity either

[viral crag]

No offense meant, just that you should probably save for a bit and (hopefully) it shouldn't be necessary for progress.

[sonic pollen]

I have some div to work with for the belt and it's definitely not for progress... Things been pretty smooth so far

[worldly heath]

what is the overlay that lets you see the dps of your weapon?

[spice abyss]

what orb should i roll on this?

[atomic halo]

exalt exalt

there's literally nothing else you can do

[spice abyss]

there is one almost identical without the crit spell damage bonus on market for 50 div atm, seams excessive but wasnt sure if to roll on it or just keep as is.

[atomic halo]

it's a gamble of course

[merry bone]

There is no world a +3 is going for 50 div and selling

[atomic halo]

also that

[undone peak]

spicy as fuck staff btw

what a juicer

[jolly osprey]

is +X increased effect of small passive skills in radius bugged? I just equipped a gem and none of my +X strength or +x attributes nodes were affected at all

[undone peak]

i dont think attribute nodes count as small nodes....

[merry bone]

wondering if it got the same treatment as the Titan ascendancy, where 5 attri nodes dont count?

[undone peak]

bad wording imo if so

[jolly osprey]

none of my +3 to all attribute nodes were affected either, which are in range

[undone peak]

uhh

what's the increased effect amount?

[jolly osprey]

30%

[undone peak]

maybe it's just rounding...

3 * 1.3 = 3.9

[jolly osprey]

I mean +5 also not affected

[undone peak]

well is the +5 a travel node?

like the ones you can set as int, str, or dex?

[jolly osprey]

yea

[undone peak]

well that's what we're talking about

those types of nodes might not be affected

and i think for the +3 all attribute nodes it's not working due to rounding

[jolly osprey]

hmm ya maybe, the +5 don't show the other +modifiers, the +3 do. that's strange that it wouldn't round up though

[atomic halo]

titan doesnt affect the travel pts and it says "Small"

therefore travel pts are not "Small"

[undone peak]

pretty normal tbh. basically in this game it tends to round down when you'd rather it round up and it'll round up when you'd rather it round down lol. the round decision rarely favors the player.

[mint summit]

anyone know a consistent way to deal yourself damage? Heartbound Loop works if there's a consistent way to make the minions die, which I also don't know

[atomic halo]

of course the +3 works, they just happen to give attributes

but they're "Small"

[undone peak]

it doesn't work for them though

because 30% increased effect isn't enough to surpass rounding threshold

3 * 1.3 = 3.9, so rounds back down to 3

[atomic halo]

yeah also that

it almost always rounds down

[restive furnace]

Anyone running Quiver Effect nodes on a character? ("+15% increased bonuses gained from Equipped Quiver")

Want to see if someone can explain or check something for me.

[merry bone]

That node tends to be a simple math question - whats up

[restive furnace]

Well, when I add 1, I get a good boost in damage, but the second? 1 DPS increase. Is that normal?

[merry bone]

What are your total equipped quiver %'s, and what is on your quiver

[undone peak]

rounding issues strike again...

the theme of the hour

[restive furnace]

How do I check total equipped quiver %?

Running shattering Concoction (and Widowhail).

[merry bone]

go count it up and add it

and need to add whats on your widowhail

[restive furnace]

okie dokie

[atomic halo]

i think tree is 80%

[merry bone]

Short answer - Rounding error though. Your quiver is being increased, but its not being increased to the next breakpoint, so the values get truncated - they do not get rounded up

2-3 phys damge increased by 15% - is still 2-3 phys dmg.

[midnight geode]

guys whats the minimum cold dmg i should aim for on lightning arrow to chill enemies and proc herald of ice?

[restive furnace]

Ah okay, since the +1 projectile skills are the biggest boost in damage, so maybe that's why.

Yeah, it's just been 1 DPS the last two time I checked (I'm out of money so can't refund but one more time kek).

[undone peak]

i'd like to place a $1M bet that your widowhail roll is between 185 and 199 lol

oh

so it was more than 1 quiver effect node taken on tree?

yeah anyways now u see

[restive furnace]

Yeah, that's super helpful, thank you! So it's most likely my Shattering Concoction is at skill level* 14.X before and 14.Y after I get the +15%.

[undone peak]

yeah 235% from + 65% from nodes = 300% so +1 proj becomes +4 proj

[restive furnace]

Oh okay, that's a lot simpler than I thought it'd be math wise. So I lucked out getting a 235% and don't need really need to take that passive atm. Any less and I would.

[hollow lagoon]

Whats a good way to deal with stuns on ES character?

[undone peak]

stun threshold from ES nodes on tree or jewels

[runic rose]

If I have necromatic Talisman and an annoint on my necklace do I get the annointment still...?

[upper viper]

Gotta love that pob is out, so much easier to pinpoint XD

[atomic halo]

no

[runic rose]

Ty sir

[sinful plover]

I don’t get how ppl are getting 10k+ mana. What stat rolls do u need to stack that high? I’m at 4666 w 2/4 sockets on 2% mana.

Planning on adding the other 2 and tryna get a %mana amulet but yk

[upper viper]

INT stacking, and a shield that increasess the socketed rune. But it had a bug, were it increased all runes on you and not just the shield. i managed to hit almost 13k mana with my gemling

[sinful plover]

How much int are we talkin cuz I have somethin like 400+

[upper viper]

i had 800

tho now i am trying something else XD

[midnight geode]

can curses reduce res below 0?

[sinful plover]

N how does one achieve this much stats lol

[upper viper]

Find the right gear, i am also using a corruption on jewels with give +1-10 to a attribute

[atomic halo]

yes

[midnight geode]

ty

[sinful plover]

Ah ic. I’m tryna transition my build into a lightning conduit build but my current is like pure int stacking/jewel slots so idk if it’s worth respecing to this other build cuz it has less jewel slots

[upper viper]

You can try and tinker something together yourself. With the help of power nodes on POB as well

thats what i tried to do with this

i have 9 jewel sockets XD

[sinful plover]

I’m not well versed enough in the game to make something viable imo but yk lol

It works kinda for now for what I wanted it for but apparently it gets pretty silly w the right jewels

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/archmage-spark-mana-stacker#atlas-tree-0
cuz this is what I started w

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/spark-lightning-conduit-stormweaver
n this is the one I was looking into

[upper viper]

After i started using gemling, i would prob have done the spark build on that.

I dont know enough about lighting conduit or the stormweaver. Dropped my char with it

[sinful plover]

It’s pretty solid without changing any of my passive tree. Pops bosses pretty easily

[upper viper]

Nice

[sinful plover]

But the guy that put me on was doin like 50m in a second

[upper viper]

dont need that kinda damage

[daring bobcat]

Need moooaar

[upper viper]

i oneshot everything with my 500k. Havent tried bossing yet tho

mapping is my focus with this build

plus 50m damage sounds like 100s of divines 😂

[sinful plover]

My build before was solid for mapping but I’d have to ask for help on bosses which is why I wanted to swap

Now still pretty good for mapping cuz on top of spark it spams lightning on their heads n insta pops rates

[deep solar]

does the monk bell thingy count as spell in the skill tree or no

[haughty dove]

Is there a way to have the cast on ability trigger with out pressing a button

[static torrent]

Check the tags for it, each skill will specify it. In the case of Tempest Bell, it is an attack.

[silk kayak]

Who do you guys go to for guides and why?

[deep solar]

okay thank u

[tardy dust]

as a warrior what stats do i need on invictus?

should i go with attributes and global def?

[atomic halo]

other ppl are smarter than i am

oh who

like the big youtubers are mostly reliable

[haughty dove]

I allways see maxroll recommended they how good write up and seem easy to follow.

[atomic halo]

i have a list for poe1 but it might not be updated

ziz, ghazzy, fubgun, snoobae, ziggyd, connor, palsteron, sushi, subtractem, jungroan, tuna, alk, dslily, lance, ruetoo, goratha

i would trust anything by any of those guys

[silk kayak]

Just curious trying to find something I really like and stick with it, but I get kind of alt happy and have not finished even cruel yet

[merry bone]

luckily for you the campaign is the best part of the game currently - so exploring it multiple times is good

[rustic glade]

for flameblast demonform, have folks specced into crit instead of stacking fire damage with success?

[merry bone]

you can build whatever way you want on demon form - 700 stacks of demonflame - you could use a level 1 spell for crying out loud.

But seriously - there are tons of ways to build different things - so chances are someone specced into it, and was successful - because success can be achieved by investing enough into a build

[deep solar]

is there a way to make the tempest bell take less hits to charge

[merry bone]

dont think so - but this can help you build combo faster.

[deep solar]

okay thank u

[dry sandal]

Any good Stormweaver Spark guides out there (gear upgrades, etc.)

[merry bone]

Maxroll - level with Havocs

[dry sandal]

Level 46 currently and trying to figure out gear upgrades I should be targeting.

[crude stratus]

is there a decent web-resource of what implicits and rolls can occur on the different jewels? i feel kinda lost on jewels, anyone have a link?

[merry bone]

if this is your first character - at that level - you want Resistances / Mana / Life. On your weapon you want +spell levels/spell damage. If you can get Cast speed anywhere you want cast speed.

[thorny token]

https://poe2db.tw/us/Modifiers

[merry bone]

poe2wiki.net for unique jewels. Craftofexile for rare affixes

[sinful plover]

i put in the skill tree from the 2nd build into pob and its 30k less dps

[old oriole]

am i right to put the % of shock here or not?
POB2

[merry bone]

highlight over the fields in the configuration - it tells you what they do

[thorny token]

technically yes but idk if it allows you go over 20 atm

also that field basically shouldnt exist its just remnant of how old shock worked

[old oriole]

sooo i just enable it? and yes it enables to me to go over 20

[thorny token]

for now yea as the default shock value is not being calculated atm

so have to do it manually

[old oriole]

okay

[old oriole]

it adds so much dps, went from 580k to 870k xD

[keen crest]

Does this work with a wand?

or is spell damage not included

[old oriole]

the ui doesn't look like poe2, but maybe it's pob, sry for not answering

[merry bone]

no your weapon doesnt do dmg when you have a wand

[keen crest]

ok

[merry bone]

That wording applies it locally to the weapon.

If the wording was "Increased damage while wielding a one handed weapon" - that would be global as long as you were using a 1 h weapon

[gray patrol]

And the word “attacks” means the second line doesn’t apply to spells

[old oriole]

guys if i have 870k dps , how good am i , like what can i do and can i not do?

[merry bone]

can do anything

[old oriole]

hardest thing i did was t16 citadel boss(my first), he had chaos dmg and i was 49 chaos res, so i died soon

[old oriole]

rly even arbiter?

[merry bone]

sure - peple kill that stuff on HCSSF with way less dmg than what virtually anyone on trade has

[old oriole]

i see

[gray patrol]

^ all that damage just means you have to play well for less time

[old oriole]

yea, not sure if i do have enough defense though

[gray patrol]

Living is a bigger indicator of whether you can do stuff unless you’re literally one shotting stuff

Which you might be

I dunno

[old oriole]

eh they die kinda fast when shocked but idk about one shotting

[sinful plover]

is there an easy way to tell what passive points youre missing im 22/24

[gray patrol]

Point being if you skip mechanics you don’t need to do them lmao

[old oriole]

im afraid that something might be wrong with pob and it's showing more dps that it should be(my fault not the system)

[gray patrol]

Check the campaign map for symbols with the plus that aren’t greyed out

[merry bone]

view the map and look for incomplete icons - compare to this:

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/getting-started/permanent-stats-from-campaign

[sinful plover]

ye im lookin thru the acts n the quest n none are missing or not greyed out for the passive quests

[gray patrol]

Worst case scenario you die

[old oriole]

yee, idk what could be worst than that

[gray patrol]

Did you do the letter one in both act 2/5

[old oriole]

btw about those can i change the reward from the poison quest?

[gray patrol]

Not as of now

They might change that

[sinful plover]

i believe so. i tried going into the area to look for the letter and didnt find anything

i know for sure i did it in act 3

2*

[old oriole]

i don't understand why i have extra 20% chaos res

it's not the 10% from quests

[old rune]

ive seen everyone get cold exposure on their charged staff on invoker monk even though it says right here that charged staff is not a supportable skill by cold exposure

is the in-game tooltip wrong? is it actually good to take cold exposure on your charged staff?

[gray patrol]

If it does cold damage

You’d need a way to make it do cold damage though

[old oriole]

@merry bone any idea?

[old rune]

I mean my build already does both cold and lightning

[sinful plover]

nvm i figured the problem didnt do kabala act 2 lol

[gray patrol]

Speaking speculatively, if the charged staff itself is doing cold damage, I don’t see why not

[safe shore]

I am looking for nice suggestions for gems I can put in these 2 skills. I can get them to at least 4 sockets if you have multiple suggestions

[gray patrol]

I haven’t made sure that it works myself tho

[gray patrol]

Profusion on the combat frenzy is good (or whatever the one is that gives an extra charge)

[sinful plover]

does endless circuit work well with cast on shock lightning conduit?

[gray patrol]

Clarity if you have the spirit is good too if you want the mana regen (which you probably do)

[dull shadow]

New Record ☆ Spark Stormweaver ☆, 1 Million DPS without boost, 2 Million DPS with boost.

[safe shore]

Oh man, great idea! Thank you. Any more suggestions?

[safe shore]

nope, 1 spirit left 😄

[gray patrol]

Tbh just profusion is good on that

Not too familiar with what charge infusion wants

You don’t need a lot at all to make combat frenzy good

[safe shore]

Perpetual Charge?

Nope, for some reason it wont allow me to slot it

[gray patrol]

Combat frenzy doesn’t consume charges

[safe shore]

But Charge Infusion does, yet it won;t allow me to slot it

[gray patrol]

I’m not sure that charge infusion ever counts as a use as perpetual charge wants

[gray patrol]

Yeah perp charge says “on use” so that makes sense to me

Charge infusion is a continuous thing

Perp charge is for things like charged staff that consume charges on use

Honestly with no extra spirit you’re prob fine just leaving it as is for now unless there’s something I’m missing

[sinful plover]

how much +%energy to meta skills would i need to make cast on shock proc always

or at least somewhat close to all the time

[flint robin]

I think i messed up picking blood mage when ive been leveling with a minion build. How is blood mage supposed to be played?

[inland nebula]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/pob/lygup05w
Anything I should change for this build, or would I be good to do a first time simulacrum?
(Ingenuity may come at some point, but its so expensive)
(HoI/HoT not included since they arent useful in simu i've heard, but idk what i'd use instead of them for it, any suggestions would be great)
(Polc ring will be switched for a decent flat / % damage and res ring)

[haughty dove]

There are some demon form builds that you can use. But depending on how far you are in the story might be worth starting over

[flint robin]

Seriously 😳

[royal hamlet]

does this increase elemental attacks of other skills ?

[flint robin]

Im only level 31 but it took me a couple weeks to get here because im only on like an hour a night

[sinful plover]

can ask someone to speedrun u to where youre at now

[haughty dove]

Yeah fire witch is the better build

[sinful plover]

not a great solution but itd help

[safe shore]

If there any way to see what killed us, especially after one shots?

[flint robin]

People speedrun in this?

[haughty dove]

Yeah look up demon form builds

[sinful plover]

ppl do carry for carry so u dont have to spend forever if u wanna try a new character

some ppl do it just bc they wanna

[haughty dove]

Yeah only on second toon. First time play though there is no speed run

[flint robin]

I havent even played through the campaign yet

[sinful plover]

thats why im sayin to where youre at now but again not a great solution

[haughty dove]

Yeah first playthough for me felt like I was playing a souls like arpg

[sinful plover]

not sayin spoil your playthrough by havin someone carry the whole thing

[flint robin]

Oh i understand. Yeah idk id like to keep playing this one. Nobody has a crit/bleed build? That seems like it would be viable. But if demonform is my one lane to progress i guess ill have to try it

[sinful plover]

theres some demonform builds that are pretty interesting. my friend has a weird one that infinite casts comet

i think hes an infernalist tho so idk

i only really know spark sorc :p

[gray patrol]

I dunno why yall saying demon form when he’s a blood mage

[flint robin]

I thought demonform was only infernalist

[sinful plover]

oh sorry mb

[haughty dove]

Yeah would focus on Demon form build most of all don't worry about the meta. I am sure that every thing will be nuked and started over in a couple months any way

[gray patrol]

I can find a bleed blood mage build for you if you want

[sinful plover]

idk if it was blood mage build but i saw someone using bleed magnitude somethin n it was doin some solid damage

[gray patrol]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/pob/mzcy60yj

[haughty dove]

I am playng stat stacking gemling at the moment its not get the the nerf hammer its getting the nerft nuke.

[gray patrol]

Dunno how expensive it is, but it at least has some ideas

[haughty dove]

I am just enjoying it while I can

[inland nebula]

Any chad advice frogs in the chatting room?

[gray patrol]

The howa and ingenuity are just there because every build uses them tbh

[haughty dove]

Pillare of the caged god as well

[flint robin]

Im just so deep in minion skills i have to get all new skill gems. Whats the fastest way to get them?

[gray patrol]

Honestly you can just keep what you’re doing rn and accumulate the stuff over time

[haughty dove]

I think the promblem is that Blood mage doesnt lend its self well to minion builds

[gray patrol]

You can just pick up a decent crossbow off the ground or the shop and use whatever new skill gems you find to start that build

[hybrid ocean]

Is there a way to search for timeless jewels by which nodes they replace with these?

Failing that, is there any documentation about any specific numbers of them?

[gray patrol]

I’ll look around and see if there’s anything else once I get on my computer

https://youtu.be/efFYYj_ABfI?si=L_Tvp6vqw_Nptk95 @flint robin Here's a good explanation video for that build

[fringe cape]

Hi for MoM, at what point do you guys think it's better to socket 2% mana soul cores instead of 20% energy shield on your gear?

[mystic shard]

how do I get cast on shock

to keep reaching 100% with spark

like instantly

i keep seeing people doing it every second

i feel like I mechanically did all i should but still not working

[rustic glade]

arg why do I keep randomly killing myself with my flameblast demon? Is it because I'm critting with flameblast so hard that the damage from Grinning Innoulation is killing me?

[smoky lintel]

Does physical attack affect projectiles?

[mystic shard]

does "cast on" just not work anymore?

even with spark with 30+ projectiles and 30% crit chance

it stacks 1 at a time for crit

how the hell is this meant to work properly?

[quasi fossil]

Anyone doing farting pathfinder? Is level 14 decompose enough to get the build started (level 59)

[small anvil]

When i started, my boots were a bit higher level to use. Build seems fine to me without decompose. I mostly kill with the bombs anyhow

[carmine flicker]

damn, gemling skill tab looks absurd

tons of random skills with random supports
just for max res

[quasi fossil]

You running the boots now?

[tranquil steeple]

does skill effect duration effect bleed duration? Or is it just skill specific effects

[fair scarab]

first time using path of building, added my tree, items and skills but stats doesnt match.

[carmine flicker]

any idea btw about items with build-it skills that won't have int or dex requrement?

[mellow shell]

Does Cast on ignite work on the unique helmet "Radiant Grief Lace Hood"?

I want to make a build around it

[viral rover]

So I just got my LA Deadeye to maps. It's my second character (first time POE'r). I like the idea of the dualstring bow but it seems that Widowhail with a nice quiver has way more sheet damage. Is it worth breaking away from widowhail for an extra projectile? WH pumps my dex quiver for HoWa. idk

unless theres a way to import a ps5 poe2 character to pob on pc

[marble stone]

im trying to figure our why my adorned diamond isnt doing anything

can someone help

all my jewels are corrupted

and its not boosting them

[glad bone]

magic items have a blue name

yellow=rare

[viral rover]

yeah those are rare

[marble stone]

ohhhhhh

that makes sense

[mellow shell]

Does Cast on ignite work on the unique helmet "Radiant Grief Lace Hood"?

[atomic halo]

if it did work, the 100 damage ignite will give little to no energy

[carmine flicker]

but it work with thing that hits

and incinerate
for reasons

[mellow shell]

The amount of ignite damage determines the amount of energy you gain?

[atomic halo]

yes, read the gem

"modified by the percentage of the enemy's Ailment Threshold the Ignite will deal"

if you deal like 1% of the ailment theshold you get like 1% of the energy

[mellow shell]

yeah that is like nothing xD

oke thanks

[carmine flicker]

that also means it's nearly useless with normal mobs
cause if you deal 100% of their ailment value they most likely dead already

[small anvil]

i swapped to sconc, so no more corpse boots. but when i was pconc and i did sekhema, i did it with normal boots with good ms and not corpsewade

[blazing canopy]

anyone see Allie's Stat Stacking Pillar Gemling HoWA Guide, why doesn't she use lighting damage % rings along with attribute?

[hybrid ocean]

At a guess because its additive with the % damage from strength that PotCG gives

If she's not using PotCG, then no clue

[blazing canopy]

well she is using potcg, but wouldn't the lighting damage % just add on top?

[light dew]

does meditate work with eternal youth (energy recharge applies to life)

[dawn spire]

[solar walrus]

did pob get the API yet

[static spade]

How good are evasion currently? I want to wear this armor but as an elemental caster, I don't wanna waste all that INT that is needed on my gems, so I might use heroic Tradegy to make it work.

[spare quartz]

My character sheet says i have 0.3 flask charges gained per second. I have 0.27 flask charges per second from alchemists boon, boosted by 93% increased flask charges from passives and jewels. Only took me up .03

Hmm. I just switched to my mana flask with 0.25 charges per second, and my sheet still says Flask charges gained per second - 0.3

[pearl sluice]

Does anyone know what site is using path of building for it's builds yet if any?

[spare quartz]

I guess that Flask charges gained per second stat in the stat sheet wouldn't include the charges gaines per second from your flasks actually, since those are individual to themselves life or mana.
So does anyone know is there a base 0.3 flasks charges gained per second, i don't get that 0.3

[small anvil]

for now might just be meme build, but anyone think about just using the Punch ability? from what i recall of poe1, there was a decent build that went unarmed. I don't think poe2 has the gear/tree to support it for right now

[maiden stag]

could i get some advice on what to upgrade next? im kinda lost on what to do to increase my dps currently and im only at 40k i dont have alot of curriency to work with either (3d)
https://imgur.com/a/aV4UTO7

[tidal copper]

Only one way to find am I right

[indigo flume]

anyone know the possible enchants (corrupted implicit) you get on items, like for instance only head has spirit.

[viral rover]

How do I do the "Trade for these items" section in POB to find a bow to possibly replace my Widowhail

[inland nebula]

Hey, searching for prism of belief jewels using the link from poe2db seems to no longer work

Is there a known alternative?

Oh, I see

You can just search the skill now

did u had to manualy put all this things or u can upload ur stuff?

[viral crag]

@static plinth After our talk earlier, finally dropped event horizon and swapped into CI with some extra ES/mana since I'm not chewing through it anymore.
It's been great lol

[abstract mortar]

theres a way to reduce channeling of "perfect timing" skills?

[viral crag]

Don't have meta yet for spaghetti, but it's been great.

[viral crag]

I honestly have to wonder if attack speed does it.

Assuming you're talking about an attack like Snipe

[abstract mortar]

yeah exactly

[viral crag]

In a map so can't check, can you share the skill description for Snipe?

Like a picture of what you see when you mouseover the gem.

[abstract mortar]

im kinda testing

it seems like atkspeed modifies the channeling time, but i have so much atkspeed that i cant properly tell, imma test in another character lol

[viral crag]

Yeah, should do it

[abstract mortar]

oh yeah

looks like atkspeed reallymakes it a lot faster

interesting

[viral crag]

Somebody get on it, machine gun snipe build.

Just find something that converts cast speed to atk speed and chrono could do it.

Gonna need some osu rhythm though.

[abstract mortar]

XD

gonna test gathering storm tbh

this is why i was wondering

the backwards jump + channel is slow af

[viral crag]

Now that's one I was curious about actually @abstract mortar

iirc stuff like gathering storm and comet has a part of the effect that says "+x to attack/cast time"

I'm wonder if we can modify that with something like skill effect duration.

[abstract mortar]

yeah it does

[abstract mortar]

you cant properly increase atkspeed of these skills

its always a problem

[viral crag]

That's the thing, I'm not trying to increase the attack speed 😉

I'm wondering if we can come after that portion of the effect somehow.

[abstract mortar]

dont think so

fast foward for example cant even be allocated

and the skill itself its not a duration skill

but yeah, im trying to figure out the same

[viral crag]

Nah, I think that puts the cap on that idea.

If it doesn't have a duration tag, anything that I would think of to come after that line isn't affecting it*

[abstract mortar]

yeah

its a problem on slams aswell

sad, cuz gathering storm looks cool

idk why so many movements on these skills also
a lot of them moves backwards or front before attacking

[sage gyro]

is it possible to make shocked ground? without the unique boots

[abstract mortar]

do u got a link for this?

[viral crag]

Think the lightning warp skill does it.

[abstract mortar]

yes it does

[viral crag]

Oh, "somebody get on it" as in "somebody start making this happen"

[abstract mortar]

also gathering storm does it aswell
