old shuttle
#

probably maps better cause it kills stuff on the first spark hit as well though

pliant wedge
#

because i can spend the points on the cc / cd on more mana, more skill duration and proj speed, which equals to more surviva and more qol

#

so far that's my conclusion on this

old shuttle
#

i think 4.5k es pre grim feast with crit build is still more than enough survivability in fairness

#

oh yeah MoM i forget that thing

#

cause im not cringe 😎

pliant wedge
#

i didn't bother to get more than 100 total spirit

#

grimfeast does look nice i suppose

old shuttle
#

yeah its super broken

pliant wedge
#

but you don't really die on maps, usually only on bosses

#

if you die on maps it's usually you got chain stunned, for spark that is

fringe lagoon
#

ES spark builds 🤮

pliant wedge
#

i still think ES spark is solid

old shuttle
#

tf bosses are you dying to with double dream frag ingenuity spark?

pliant wedge
#

giving up 6k effective pool seems yikes

#

i guess if you want more damage you can go for a rare ammy

old shuttle
#

yeah i saw some peeps use a spirit ammy over the mana es one

pliant wedge
#

you don't go double dream frag, not worth it

#

you can even barely cap your resis

old shuttle
#

thats why adorned go crazy

pliant wedge
#

also i don't think +4 arbiter is tankable

fringe lagoon
#

Garukhan gave you mana why use ES 😦

old shuttle
#

adorned giving you like 14% res per jewel slot is bonkers

fringe lagoon
#

I understand for budget builds

#

If you have fragments why not push for 10-12k mana and just tank anything with mom

pliant wedge
#

i mean i am adorned simp on poe1, but the amount of jewel slots you can get in poe2 is so sad

#

to the point i am questioning myself

fringe lagoon
#

Adorned really good if you are stacking int, you can play 14-15 jewels builds

#

For crit it is just not worth it, not enough jewels and u get more value from timeless

old shuttle
#

5 jewels like this go crazy.

pliant wedge
#

i still think crit is not worth it

old shuttle
#

100 total res. 150 crit dmg. 200% inc shock

pliant wedge
#

i'd rather go for duration, inc dmg or proj speed or pierce

#

yeah i guess int stack is nice

#

but you need that against darkness jewel to get the %int

old shuttle
#

or yeah, int corrupted jewels as well

pliant wedge
#

you likely can't opt for es setup at this point

#

i still have about 100d to spare so i guess i need to get to work

old shuttle
#

i think crit is basically just opting out of as much fluff and qol for pure dps

pliant wedge
#

nah i don't think it's even good in the end

fringe lagoon
#

This is int stacking with adorned

pliant wedge
#

to me, crit sacrifice too much

old shuttle
#

id imagine at worst its better at mapping cause you need less spark hits per kill

pliant wedge
#

when you look at the widowhail spark

old shuttle
pliant wedge
#

it still perform really decent

#

despite having no +levels, no good dmg inc

#

if you are able to abuse the core mechanics of spark with the generic archmage stormweaver setup

old shuttle
#

i meant astro no adorned frg

pliant wedge
#

i think it's solid

#

eh i don't think astra is a good alternative when you can get +3 on ammy

old shuttle
#

yeah just being bully

pliant wedge
#

lmao

old shuttle
#

could have more int smh

pliant wedge
#

more numbas

old shuttle
#

so funny you can see they only have all attri ups and no str/dex

#

cause of equal str/dex

pliant wedge
#

honestly the int stack adorned is a good idea as far as i know

pliant wedge
#

though i still think hitting the breakpoint for spark mechanic is stil lbetter

old shuttle
#

mind you, you also may be right. people may be blinded by sheet dps

pliant wedge
#

honestly it's hard to calculate

old shuttle
#

cause crit would def have better sheet

pliant wedge
#

because even for int stack at some point it's diminishing returns

#

but yeah i still don't see the appeal of crit spark

#

and why it is so popular

#

it feels like it's just high dps footage and content creators pushing it so people are playing ity

old shuttle
#

oh yeah its only a super duper late game investment

#

pre the hundred+ divine investment its just worse

pliant wedge
#

hundred+ divs that is not worthwhile

#

lmao

#

i still haven't seen anyone deep diving into the core mechanics of spark

pliant wedge
fallow ivy
#

If I use this armour + 2 ventor rings with negative lightning res, will it bring nearby enemies' lightning res to negative like me, or it just bring them to 0%?

fringe lagoon
pliant wedge
#

some sort

#

i mean we all know proj speed and duration increases damage

#

and it depends on the room type (arena size)

#

but we don't know the breakpoint so far

#

like for example how much is too little, how much is too much, what is the recommended proj speed + duration on arenas like arbiter

#

it's something that requires a lot of effort so that's why no one cares

Lvl 96 Infernalist. I dropped from 3 to 1 mages and 3 to clerics and now at 12 arsonists and it seems to have been a good move. Anyone disagree with this? I’m not clear if/when I’d need more than 1 of each.

steady lake
#

is this a good gem for witchhunter / staff hybrid build ?

orchid hatch
#

2 Storm Mages just offers better coverage for shock really.

#

Is there a leveling build for ranger that isn't lightning

#

I'm so bored of lightning

sleek lantern
#

first time playing poe2 been trying to follow this build and i really dont understand the skill tree where some part of it is highlighted red or green

glad arch
#

@sleek lantern nice name dweeb

#

it is just colors chill

glad arch
#

This is the most obvious color coding in an RPG skill tree

#

Smh. Noob

livid fulcrum
# sleek lantern

I assume it's weapon set points? Idk enough to hazard a guess beyond that

fringe lagoon
#

Yeah it's weapon set points

onyx cargo
#

Should I just ignore the bonestorm dps thing cause ik damn well it’s not only hitting 20k dps

old shuttle
#

Bonestorm doesnt really deal dmg

#

its more about its debuff

onyx cargo
#

Idk what you’re on about, I’ve got bonestorm clearing maps by just tapping the button

#

Don’t even need to channel

delicate aspen
#

Anyone knows where to find a chart that shows skill scaling with each level?

#

specifically plague bearer?

spring hull
#

What is good starter build on PoE 2?

old shuttle
#

is there any immortal wall you can constantly ricochet off of and not kill?

#

cause shield wall and ice wall kinda just die

onyx cargo
#

I already have ricochet and fork on it, works very nice for mapping

#

Generates its own power charges so bombs just go everywhere it’s cool

ionic spoke
#

I see people use totems on 2nd weapon set on their warcry builds. Don't totem passives stop working when you swap back to CC set though? Or is it that once you've placed a totem it retains all the buffs from passives?

#

if so i'll just have totems on all my warrior builds i guess

steel flicker
#

Does anyone have a link to a good attribute stack invoker build?

dawn spire

#

I have a lightning monk build, and I'm wondering which ability I should add to my Cast on Shock skill, comet or lightning ball? Which one would deal more damage?

sudden crown
#

And if you add ball if lightning you will propably run out of mana

#

You can add voltaic mark for clear and change it to sniper mark on bosses for more crit

steady lake
#

can I ask for the general atlast tree build ? there's so many diff ver on youtube

leaden salmon
sudden flicker
#

does bonestorm benefit from archmage? asking because it says archmage only applies to non-channeling spells and bonestorm is a channeling spell right so it shouldn't work?

normal rampart
#

If you're swapping to Archmage, you should consider using conductivity instead of hypothermia even though you are using cold spells

#

hey all, do support gems not boost the '20% of corpse's max life' part of detonate dead? I've been testing it on the Clearfell boss and there's no difference in damage whether I use a conc effect support or not

any specific build that would be good for speeding through campaign again on a witch

#

hey guys, i'm level 46 using invoker monk, is there any specific stat I should be looking for in my quarterstaff? I currently playing with this one, but i feel like i have very poor damage using my autoattacks and I don't understand why, should i look for physical or lightning damage? ty

restive mortar
#

so im doing cast on dodge does anyone know why it says 300 max energy for comet which is 1 second cast time so should be 100 max energy

carmine flicker
#

(added cast time, such as on comet, count as double for the purpose of energy)

nova osprey

hey guys why do some builds want monk to get "RAGE ON HIT"?

alright thanks

rancid cipher
#

How does this work when socketing it into Herald of Thunder? Assuming the attack would deal 100 damage would this be correct?

Default: 100 lightning damage

+25% cold damage
-50% lightning damage

Total: 50 lightning damage + 25 cold damage

Meaning that it's a 25% damage nerf in with the benefit of having split damage types?

#

Just want to make sure I understand this well enough. hah

vivid dagger
#

how ppl sustain flicker strike for soo long? feel like mine's gone after a couple kills

nova osprey
#

waht does adding rage do for monk?

static plinth
thorny token
#

makes you angry

static plinth
#

Each rage gives 1% more damage

nova osprey
#

i didnt know this.

#

what's the max rage then?

static plinth
#

30 by default

nova osprey
#

hm.

#

Is Infernal Cry and Charge Infusion the only things that consume Endurance Charges currently?

flat root
#

as a choice is infernalist better than blood mage right now?

astral willow
#

you shouldn't need lightning infusion in HoI to chain heralds as long as you've got howa right?

turbid valley
#

is there a way to break armor as caster ?

thorny token
#

corrosion

turbid valley
#

can't use corrosion on any of my skill it seems... cold stormweaver

carmine flicker
#

What to even take as Titan last node?
All are kinda useless

carmine flicker
#

You need phys spells for those tho

#

Why would you bother breaking armour as cold anyway?

thorny token
turbid valley
carmine flicker
thorny token
#

crushing impacts then?

#

only way to get 1 hit heavy stun still i think

carmine flicker
#

And I'm out of ideas how to get any damage on that too
Except dd ofc

#

But dd bad on bosses with zero invest in minion life

astral badger
turbid valley
#

oh seems like I can use corrosion on elemental storm, would envenom + corrosion work to break armor with elemental storms ?

normal rampart
#

What class are you playing?

astral badger
#

Stormweaver sorc

normal rampart
#

Are you planning to play Frostbolt?

astral badger
#

Thanks I’ll check out a better ring then. I think my lightning spells have high enough damage to now not need to be scaled to cold

plain mist
#

does "presence area of effect" on a sceptre only apply to the minion buffs or does it also improve the Aura area of Withering Presence and Blasphemy?

astral badger
#

No frostbolt no

urban cradle
#

so whats considered a decent Energy Shield amount for a Monk endgame? And for evasion? Do you guys recommend using acrobatics?? Even with that, I have 42% evasion

normal rampart
#

Oh okay. Shame. I heard you mention Frostbolt

#

But I guess you're going spark instead. You'd be spending a lot more going lightning than sticking with cold though. Cold can do just as much and even faster than most spark builds with like 10% of the budget required for a good spark build

Do I lose my crit from inevitable crit when I swap to explosive bolt to trigger it? Or grenade either?

#

Hi Friends - Looking for any feedback on my current support build.

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/ugeqo023

Unsure how long the website takes to update, but I've changed Resonating shield for War Banner after some respeccing.

I think i've nailed down the best jack-of-all-trades support, with versatility to support basically any build, provide defenses, rarity, exposure, curses, and good times all around.

Happy for any ideas on how to minmax from here!

#

what does everyone who uses storm wave prefer, inc aoe + conc effect or upheaval + long shot/close combat/something else? I am using pillar but not stacking INT as I wanted to go a different route, so only have 90int with pillar. Currently primal and cold pen as well

spiral smelt
#

Is it me or does cast on shock charges slower than cast on freeze?

Like I do lightning damage and I charge cast on freeze faster with three dragons+herald of ice than cast on shock + herald of thunder on flurries staff strikes

hybrid ocean
#

Does anyone know what the distribution is on the spread of ground targeted skills like lightning rod w/ scattershot?

thorny token
#

especially if you are freezing consistently

spiral smelt
#

Well I don't really know how it's counted but yeah I saw that it gains 10 energy vs 2 but that's so strange it's that much higher

So I just thought we were freezing 5 times less, I guess not

thorny token
#

well its a lot harder to freeze than shock but eventually it doesnt matter

spiral smelt
#

I don't want to run three dragons thingy
So I guess I'll find something else to gain charges

#

I'm a witchunter that runs rapid shot for bosses and galvanic for clear, trying to take a potcg as second hand for clear with flicker strikes because it's so fun to tp around the map

#

We can't get sockets and big keystone (resonance) as weapon talent points.... It's so annoying

#

Also why is fire so hated in this game lmao
Like herald of ashe is garbage, igniting ennemies is utterly useless and is even more useless if you don't play "big hit" spells and you can generate frenzy charges with shocking, freezing but not igniting lmao

thorny token
#

fire rly needed scorch as an ailment or something

#

and then ignite should've just worked like bleed and poison, e.g you would just grab chance to ignite

plain matrix
#

whats the best way to start a warrior ... seems so slow 😄

hybrid ocean
#

Alternatively, ignites could just stack with each other by default

thought i would have a nice extra weapon against the sekhemas boss hehe

rancid cipher
#

I'm trying to help with mana for my cast on freeze spell. I assume inspiration won't work if I place it with cast on freeze... but If I put the same spell that I'm using cost on freeze with on my bar and socket it with inspiration will that work for the cast on freeze version?

orchid vector
#

Where could i improve with survivability on my gear do seem to be taken out a lot lately i was thinking about some armour boots but dont think ill have enough strength its already a balance act in my passive tree and with dexterity vs intelligence

Does anyone know what kind of statistical distribution is used for random spread on skills?

Things like lightning rod

#

Is there any high end item within reasonable price, for a poison concoction build, anyone can think of that would help my build out?
Further context i have 25-30 divine. I have ingenuity and strong rares on all other equipment. I don't think it's going to be a gear item, but maybe a jewel or something i don't know about? I'm leaning towards buying Olroth's flask

#

I found out about one of the unique jewels yesterday that makes your corrupted magic jewels stronger and that's within my price range of 20-30+ divines, but then i looked up the jewels i would use with it (20% ES 20% crit damage) and all those jewels are 30+ divine each

daring bobcat
#

Yea adorned builds are pricey AF, afaik it's one of the METAs

spare quartz
#

Poison concoction only goes so far it seems before hitting a big wall

#

Yeah i learned to check my magic jewels for max rolls now

#

$

supple osprey
#

thats my current gear on arkmage spark? what to focus on

gray patrol
#

Not feeling like the math but do you have all your resses maxed?

daring bobcat
# supple osprey thats my current gear on arkmage spark? what to focus on

Higher ES in general, higher mana and Int if you can afford it, 30 spirit with gaze is really nice for grim-feast but eventually you'll switch out of gaze so you could get a 850+ ES body too. You'll probably switch out focus for a good Mahu shield eventually but Focus shouldn't be pulling any res.

supple osprey
#

no chaos tho

daring bobcat
#

Helmet can somewhat easily pull 300+ ES and 100+ mana so lots of mana missing there

gray patrol
#

Are you doing CI?

supple osprey
#

not now

gray patrol
#

That’s gonna need to be resolved in one of those two ways

supple osprey
#

ci is the thing 1 hp full chaos res right

gray patrol
#

Yeah

supple osprey
#

i will do it but it i need more mana es rn i guess

gray patrol
carmine flicker
#

yeah, for archmage int stack every piece of gear need to have 30+ int, 150 or smth mana and as much es as possible

#

(and then get res.. somewhere)

daring bobcat
#

but int stacking is for rich people, I put it in my weights but rarely ever get it

supple osprey
#

yes but i cannot say which one of this items are bad and why it is

#

i followed that maxroll guide

#

i focused on mana int full res etc. as mentioned in the guide

daring bobcat
#

They are all suboptimal because of their low ES which translates to low mana and there low resist forcing you to get resists on rings.

#

Aim for 80% total resist on each piece of gear 100+ ES, 150+ mana, Int (if you can afford it)

carmine flicker
supple osprey
daring bobcat
#

What is possible for an item to have VS what you have on it. Rings can give loads of Int/Mana/regen so resists are wasted there

#

Focus can give damage so resists are wasted there

supple osprey
#

are you talking about the red one or green

daring bobcat
#

The green one will make the Red one better which will give you more mana overall

#

btw, 20% quality* would be an extra 40 mana for free there

#

no mana, low res. That's a bad helmet

supple osprey
#

i didnt make the quality thing since idk what item to keep/change

daring bobcat
#

So I put a min ES I want, I put the weighted stats that I want and play with the minimal values or weight until I find something affordable to me that's decent

supple osprey
#

can you quickly look at my other gear and say which one is bad if you have time i really appreciate it

gray patrol
#

I was also looking at the body as not being good

daring bobcat
#

It's all pretty bad for someone with a decent budget but you can get by

#

really depends on your currencies imo

supple osprey
#

im barely getting one exalt each run

gray patrol
#

I think you’d get the most improvement out of a better body and helmet right now imo

supple osprey
#

i have like 2 divine and 100 ex rn

daring bobcat
#

your amulet isn't annointed either, free passive you're missing out on, quality on stuff is almost always worth it, if you paid a few exalts for something

#

Need to spend money to make money 🙂

supple osprey
#

someone else told me about that annotaion thing

gray patrol
#

You can probably find some decently good items for like 30-60 ex each if you use the search function well

supple osprey
#

what is it exactly

supple osprey
gray patrol
#

You can use the delirium emotions to put a notable passive (non-keystone) on your amulet

daring bobcat
# supple osprey what is it exactly

It's when you use delirium emotions to give your amulet a passive skill, you can press Alt on a skill to see what is required to annoint or look at Poe2DB

#

Doesn't need to be linked to your tree, I'm using pure power annoint but asteticism, conservative casting, split shot, etc bunch of great options available

supple osprey
#

is this thing a really good power spike item

#

do i really need that one passive point

#

for now

daring bobcat
#

It's all the small things that add up to a good build yeah

dawn spire
#

some notables could be as much as 10% more damage, possibly. But typically it's not massive

supple osprey
#

it seems like an expensive thing

daring bobcat
#

doesn,t have to be, conservative casting is a few exalts iirc, free mana regen

#

but, obviously, corrupted gaze prevents that

gray patrol
supple osprey
#

that was acutally what i do before

gray patrol
#

Your body and helmet have like 25% res each

supple osprey
#

yes but my res is almost capped

#

so does it matter ?

daring bobcat
#

I think it's because you we're getting whatever mods on whatever pieces but you should get specific mods on specific gear.

gray patrol
#

The last couple points matter more than any other and it opens up options for ^

daring bobcat
gray patrol
#

The last 4% res going from 71 to 75 is like a 14% damage reduction

daring bobcat
#

all resist ring with ingenuity is fine but even then, not great imo

gray patrol
#

You can get more damage and mana and es when you’re not needing resses on key pieces

#

And rarity

supple osprey
#

what are key pieces

gray patrol
#

Rarity helps a ton

daring bobcat
#

Helmet, chest and rings until ingenuity imo

supple osprey
#

how much a proper ingenuity

daring bobcat
#

I'm getting by with a 60% but higher is better

carmine flicker
#

what is most tree-independent way to get damage, assuming I have all items slots free to get one and don't need tankiness at all?

gray patrol
#

If you’re using attacks, howa

daring bobcat
#

If you,re using spells, archmage

gray patrol
#

^ spell levels also help

daring bobcat
#

True

gray patrol
#

If you can afford the mana

#

Which means you’re stacking mana which means you’re going archmage lmao

#

All roads lead to Rome or whatever the saying is

supple osprey
#

so guys briefly i need to check my whole build right ?

#

im gonna put resists on ring or anything else

daring bobcat
#

Try to fix that

supple osprey
#

i need in general improvement thats why its a bit hard to figure out

carmine flicker
#

and lots of stats I guess cause of going for those

supple osprey
#

im having no problems but higher maps would be a problem due to low survability and dps

gray patrol
#

More mana/es is going to help with both of those

daring bobcat
#

Survivability and DPS, Capped Resist > Max mana = problem solved

supple osprey
#

yep basically i need to change whole build because of res stats

spare geyser
#

Is grim harvest good to put on a monk for survival

gray patrol
#

If you use the trade site well it should be within budget

supple osprey
#

while buying new gear on what part i should gather the resists

daring bobcat
#

I would say, with your budget, drop Int all together, get 75% resist min on each piece of gear ( excpet ring and focus), 90+ ES and 120+ mana

gray patrol
#

That’s a reasonable plan^

supple osprey
#

is there diff between + to es and %

daring bobcat
#

I don't use either of those

supple osprey
#

where does es come from

daring bobcat
gray patrol
#
  • is flat, % modifies flat (including base)
daring bobcat
#

Don't look for mods, look for ES in equipment filters

gray patrol
#

^

civic schooner
#

I got a build idea, just checking if its good so if I get igunity belt with around 70%+ and get prismatic rings with 29-30% all elemental res. I can get max res on all 3 elements by scraficing one stat on each ring. Would that be a good idea?

daring bobcat
#

It won't calculate the missing or slotted Iron runes, so keep that in mind

gray patrol
#

It will turn out that a good ES piece has both flat and increased ES

supple osprey
#

so i should care about runes or not

#

it will take it as base form or rune socketed ?

daring bobcat
#

Both, so that's something you'll be looking out for, 2 helm with equal stats but one has a rune and the other doesn't, the one without a rune will be better (once you put a rune in)

supple osprey
#

oh i got it

#

what about quality

daring bobcat
#

website calculates as if max quality

supple osprey
#

idk how much quality adds to what

daring bobcat
#

1% qual is 1% ES (or armor or evasion)

cerulean finch
#

what does this mean? i thought all lightning dmg already can shock by default

gray patrol
#

Non lighting damage too

supple osprey
#

why are we not getting res on rings

daring bobcat
#

Because rings can have cast speed/mana regen/int (boosted by ingeniuty) damage, mana, etc

#

so resists are worst than anythign else you could get on rings

unless it's all elemental resist

supple osprey
#

what about focus

daring bobcat
#

Crit chance, cast speed, crit damage > Resist

supple osprey
#

i should not care about crits right

#

or i should ??

daring bobcat
#

you eventually will care about crit ye

supple osprey
#

why is it

gray patrol
#

It’s more damage

supple osprey
#

is it like end games end game or need for ordinary build

gray patrol
#

And it stacks well with other sources of damage

daring bobcat
#

But, mana stacking archmage use Mahu shield with max mana soul cores afaik

supple osprey
#

is it just for focus ?

daring bobcat
#

Wand too, helmet and gloves if you can afford it

supple osprey
#

also which one to follow

gray patrol
#

I honestly can’t remember if the helmet crit stat is for attacks or just in general

daring bobcat
#

It's general, got one yesterday

supple osprey
#

lvl93mahuorfocus one right

daring bobcat
gray patrol
#

Not knowing anything about those builds I agree lmao

supple osprey
#

its maxroll guide

gray patrol
#

Also be on the lookout for rarity when everything else is taken care of

#

It’ll help your economy a lot

daring bobcat
#

It's not something I looked for at all, I get rarity from the waystones I use most of the time

#

but for farming chaos/Sekhema, rarity is huge yea

pliant wedge
#

is there a spark sorcerer archmage build guide out there that acutally utilize the spark mechanics and doesn't suck

daring bobcat
#

hmm like what mechanics ?

gray patrol
daring bobcat
#

I'm sitting at 52% iirc from pure random corrupts

gray patrol
#

Lmao

pliant wedge
#

spark itself has a lot of ways to scale its damage

daring bobcat
#

But my maps do almost 2x the modifiers and 23% base so it's almost always 100%+ rarity

pliant wedge
#

but no one is actually utilizing except for widowhail but they suck on lategame scaling

gray patrol
#

I’m gonna be honest I don’t know what you mean about no one using them. They use skill duration and stuff from what I’ve seen

#

Unless you’re talking about other stuff?

daring bobcat
#

like a spark build that doesn't run archmage but it's just so good that idk if anyone is doing build like that and if they are they'll suck compared to archmage conterpart.

pliant wedge
#

well obviously +40 and with *1.4 is not even enough (skill duration but that's what most people do)

spare quartz
#

Anyone know which unique jewel gives added chaos damage?

daring bobcat
pliant wedge
#

not necessary not running archmage, but a lot of them when with CoS / crit build

#

i looked at the pob the scaling is wtf

fringe lagoon
pliant wedge
#

pierce / proj count

#

fork works but it is a bit dangerous at times via mana tempest

#

and the uptime is not there

fringe lagoon
#

🤔 I think you need arrow & quiver to scale most of these parameters

pliant wedge
#

not necessary

supple osprey
#

@daring bobcat @gray patrol thanks for helping

daring bobcat
#

pleasure Gl

pliant wedge
#

your adorned setup probably works with that

gray patrol
#

Hope it works out for you

pliant wedge
#

i guess i'll get a 90% adorned

fringe lagoon
#

my setup benefits mostly from archmage, pure power, arcane intensity and force of will - less from levels/speed/duration etc..

pliant wedge
#

i've seen the pob, each 5 int gives about like 0.5% damage

static spade
#

Any suggestions on how you can maximize the damage output of a Cast on triggered Fireball?

#

On support gems I mean

gray patrol
#

Energy saving gems, standard fire damage gems, mana cost reduction if you’re running into mana issues

#

Wildshards is one I think I’ve seen often iirc

#

But don’t quote me on that, just seen fireball builds in passing

spare quartz
#

Wow getting a nice time-lost diamond will definitely be a game changer for my p conc, freeing up a lot of passives in the tree. What does a large radius roughly cover, for small passives?

fringe lagoon
daring bobcat
#

That'd be a ''From nothing'' jewel

spare quartz
#

I could free up those 11 points for weapon set 1 on my build

shadow sand
#

What are decent Support gems to use with Ghost Dancer?

spare quartz
#

It's 50% chaos damage and some crit chance, but i can get a couple +15% rit damage nodes that should cover that damage loss, grab 55% to poison magnitude nodes, and be 1 passive away from a jewel node

And it looks like i can get a decently priced diamond that will give a lot of resistances with it and some attribute points from corruption

does guard from olroths resolve covers infernal flame damage?

I don't think infernal flame does damage

spiral smelt
#

Do simulacrum/deli monsters deal any elemental damage? Aren't they just melee physical damage with one aoe physical for the big slam from one of those monsters?

#

If it's true that would greatly changes the way I build

You can’t win them all

#

Lol

#

Uhh I actually don’t know the damage types of those dudes

spiral smelt

Do you guys know how we can know that?

#

Since I run sorcery ward I could see if they hit my elemental shield or not...

dawn spire

#

I was gonna check and see if that info was on poe2db but my service is super bad right now

dawn spire
#

like, arctic armor and wind dancer say "gain a stage every X seconds" whereas ghost dance uses "duration between gaining shrouds"

tardy void
dawn spire
#

if so, it's not damage

scenic onyx
#

Already got that, that’s not an option in terms of this ring

dawn spire
#

fork is a lower damage penatlty, then

tardy void
dawn spire
#

and chain is basically worse fork for spark

tardy void
dawn spire
#

oooooooh

#

I thought this was the demon form thing

#

my bad

#

sorry, yeah, that's fire damage

#

infernal flame, demon flame... too many flames that hurt you in one ascendancy

scenic onyx
# dawn spire fork is a lower damage penatlty, then

But is it a damage penalty? Like I know the Support Gem reduced the damage of the Supported Skill, but this is not a Support Gem, this is a Ring and it doesn’t say that Fork itself reduces the damage in its own description, only the Skill Gem says that

dawn spire
tardy void
dawn spire
#

if it says it negates damage, it should work for infernal flame

#

infernal flame is just a big chunk of fire damage

carmine flicker
#

not that big even

#

with 90 fire res(that you want anyway on infernalist, tbh) it's nothing

#

(altered flesh+cloak of flame is too good to pass, phys to ele/chaos was imba in POE1 and is 10 times better in POE2 since armour doesn't work anyway)

Might just be stupid but how does lowering your health total add survivability when being in demon form as a witch

#

is it because then there’s less total health to regen

hushed nacelle
#

I think I'm just waiting on poe2 to be different from poe1. I feel build fatigue. I desperatley want someone to make a build that's fun and different.

#

I'm not smart enough to do it.

restive mortar
#

if you have 200 hp then 30hp regen is 6.7% of your health per second

#

if you have 400hp its only 3.3%

Is that right

yeah

because your energy shield is your survival

Is the increase from a 70% ingenuity(19d) to a high 70 like 77(24d) worth the price increase?

restive mortar

depends on your gear and whether you can make better upgrades for 5d

I recommend sticking to 70% and when on high budget and already fairly optimized just change to 80%

Is the archmage lighting conduit build on max roll a good build for stormweaver?

marble burrow
#

if im using bone cage to its full effect would that mean a more.stationary playstyle and go with block over evasion to focus on a defense stat?

#

Rn i just darksouls roll as much possible and that feels wrong

dawn spire
#

If you're rolling constantly then yes, you're probably rolling too much

marble burrow
#

ok so just trying to avoid attacks period is the better choice like ive been doing

dawn spire
#

You can avoid a ton of damage just by moving normally while using skills

#

How far are you in the game?

marble burrow
#

this is my 4th try at making a build i keep bricking near the end of act II farthest i got was after the colossus

dawn spire
#

Regardless of how far you are, resistances are the most important defensive layer

marble burrow
#

this time is going really well so far

dawn spire
#

If you neglect resistances on any build, you're screwed from square one

#

Tho even with really bad resists you should still be able to make it farther than the act 2 colossus

#

Sounds like the problem is with your damage

#

And/or over-rolling

marble burrow
#

so I wouldnt say I am neglecting them directly, I just learned about scrapping and building sockets and just ahve not come accross gear thats better than the unique chest I am running, ive got a base 20 i ce and lighting 44 in fire and zero in chaos atm

marble burrow
#

yeah i can share ss if you like

dawn spire
#

I'm mostly curious what skills you use alongside it and what supports

#

I don't know much about it and I never looked into making it the focus of a build

marble burrow

im in chat 4 if that would be easier but I can type it out too

#

its mostly bone cage, firewall really

dawn spire

Nah I'm in bed getting sleepy lol

marble burrow

haha all good i write you a bed time story gimmie a sec

dawn spire

Lmfao

#

While you do that imma Google bone cage

marble burrow
#

sure sure

dawn spire
#

Ah, right, it's the pinning one. I was conflating some of its mechanics with bonestorm

#

Might be kinda cool with astral projection if that works

marble burrow

level 17

bonce cage lvl4 : Brutality, Persistence
Bone storm lvl5 : Leverage, Arcane tempo

yeah the reason I did that was because they are ALWAYS active and my gear does hp damage when i use skills and i have no real mana gen atm, so i am doing some dots with the skulls while bufiing my regen so i can crit harder with other spells. I will be changing that out when I find a skill taht fits that I will always have on, atm since i only have 2 slots for skill gems i felt this was the way to go because my other spells hit like trucks and I am more using the fire as an icing on the cake kinda thing right now.

soon as i get those nodes to give me crits when enemies are debuffed with elemental damage i.e fire ill be laughing. but thats also why I am grinding some levels ahead so i can just test a few things out without moving to fast. and its been a really enjoyable playthrough so far, i am taking way less damage than before and smoking mobs in the manor right now taht i usually struggled with

#

when ig et some more slots opened up I will be optimizng alot of these skills youre absoloutley right

woeful sundial
#

If i include everything but the fire attack closest is 500 divs. What should i price this?

dawn spire
#

What do you mean, your "gear does hp damage" when you use skills?

marble burrow
#

pain attunement hits you for 5 hp every time you use a skill but it gives 30% more crit if you are under full hp, so i use the spirit skulls as a free regen while still doing some decent fire damage

#

ive got 60% mana regen thansk to those lil guys which proc on all fire spells and they are still doing 61 damage which is not bad so 10 skulls that 600 damage

#

so i am always regen health and mana while buffing my crit with every combo and spell i use

dawn spire
#

Pain attunement doesn't hit you, crown of thorns does. Also, I don't think that's what pain attunement does

#

Pain attunement gives you the benefit if you're on low life, I thought

marble burrow
#

30% less crit at full health and 30% full under full health

dawn spire
#

Not "not at full life"

marble burrow
#

not low life just not full health

dawn spire
#

Really? Can you screenshot the keystone? That's wild to me

#

Tho I guess they made it a lot harder to be on low life consistently

marble burrow
#

oh nope you are correct I misread it its been a while since i looked at it

merry bone
dawn spire
#

So that makes sense

#

Oh, I see

#

Pain attunement hella bad now lol

merry bone
#

More Crit dmg bonus can be kind of nutty

marble burrow
#

the original plan for the build was bloodmage, but the way its going i could go either wayuwith it

#

i was looking into alot of the health regen nodes later but the infernalist deals dots to you as well, so this could work either way as a good set, what do they classify low health under 30%?

dawn spire
#

Personally I'd throw that crown of thorns in the dumpster and get anything with life and res, but if you're enjoying it, go nuts

dawn spire
#

I think it's 30% or 35%

maiden stag
#

could someone give me a price check on this?

merry bone
#

nope

dawn spire
#

I'd say add up the prices of one kraken and one star and it'll be a good estimate

marble burrow
#

35% ok so i want as much energy shield as i can get to work with this crown if i go that route, which is still tempting i guess i need to decide which subclass i am gonna follow since most of fire skills ive just carried over so this build has had really low investment to high return

maiden stag
merry bone
#

Well 1 Kraken is worth about 17 Narwhals - so start there I guess?

When most people make a build in poe, they start with a skill/combo/archetype to focus on. Then they pick their ascendancy, gear, etc, in order to complement the focus as best as possible. Highlight its strengths, cover its weaknesses, do a cool synergy thing, or any combination of those.

It sounds like you're kinda just picking up skills and seeing what looks cool as you go. Which is totally fine. Just very different to the "norm", at least for me. When I tried last epoch I didn't allocate points until I knew exactly what the plan was for the build

frank harbor
#

Does anyone know where this calculation comes from for energy shield? It says 1089 and its a conversion from mana to energy shield but i cant find where the 1089 is coming from.

maybe the 2nd try i did but I like to think ive found the synergy between bone and fire spells and im starting to fine tune it

for monk if i want to cast as much as possible should i use "cast on crit" or "cast on shock"?

dawn spire
delicate canyon

for my build

dawn spire
#

Look at how much you shock stuff and compare that to your main skills' crit chance and damage. Read the 'cast on' gems carefully and make an educated guess. If you're building for crit then I'd go crit. If you're building for shock, then shock

hello, what stats should i look on an amulet as a melee titan?
thanks in advance

rigid tide
#

should i go for an amber amulet with high life regen for my demon witch build or for an amulet that lowers my max hp further

glad bone
rigid tide
#

ah maybe not 25% but still a decent amount i believe

rigid tide
glad bone
#

Yes because demon form ends when stacks exceed your max life even if your regen would sustain it, but you get more degen at 201+

#

Each stack must detract 1 life

#

And it is 0.5% of max life or 1 hp, whichever is higher

#

Might be some wiggle room for higher life for higher stack cap with higher regen but I'm not sure, not an expert

rigid tide
#

yeah rn im trying to figure out whether i should focus on getting more hp regen or lowering my life total

#

and figuring out what amulet is ideal for me, i imagine amber amulet with high regen would work well

Im on console so when I go to my skills there's a little black bar on the top right of the skill that tells me the DPS and I do 65k normally without my charged staff ability

It’s on my flicker build and it’s a life saver

vestal coral
#

now im wondering if this build is ... complete, like why dont i put a 4th support on charged staff ?

#

or a 5th

old shuttle
#

Tbh a lot of build guides aren’t the greatest, but also yea go crazy

#

Fuck around

vestal coral
#

damn there is alot of stuff to go through xD

#

is there a multishot for charged staff?

old shuttle
#

I believe not

vestal coral
#

any suggestions

old shuttle
#

Shock kill ES, bouncing shock, inc dmg no shock. No more shock but electrocution build up.

vestal coral
#

bullseye any good ?

old shuttle
#

Inc shock effect is good as well

vestal coral
#

yeah that sounds good

old shuttle
#

I think I run better shock effect on my charged staff. Maybe culling and bouncing electric as well, not certain

vestal coral
#

i have culling on herald of ice

old shuttle
#

That’s good

vestal coral
#

shocking siphon seems kind of like life on kill

#

but maybe not as good

#

shock siphon*

#

i should really look up how shock even works lol

#

so many things to do so little time

#

trying to understand how shock occurs

#

"By default a Hit has 1% chance to Shock for every 4% of the target's Ailment Threshold dealt." this isn't very clear i'm not sure how it works still

#

how do i know what enemies ailment threshold is

#

aside from the map modifier

#

overcharge sounds good possibly, 75% magnitude of shocks, -50% duration

#

unless i only shock once every 4 seconds

#

no idea how i'm suppose to know though lol

old shuttle
#

Tldr, the more you hit and the harder you hit the more you shock

#

In general with a good enough build you just always shock

#

And yeah it’s kinda worse than life on kill, but it’s for es which is just different and can be nice

vestal coral
#

im at 1862 life, 2451 es

old shuttle
#

But yeah 75% magnitude is so good for bosses. Around 1.12x dps vs bosses cause of it

vestal coral
#

yeahhhhh thats what i want xD

#

i have my atlas setup for +5 boss difficulty, it's brutal

#

wanting to do +7

Hey so still trying to figure out how to counter my insane energy shield consumption costs for barrier invocation. Does recoup life count as life recovery for this passive?

old shuttle
#

But also sometimes es on kill and shock stuff may work weird in practice. But still if it works then it’s great

is it good if i annoint my amulet with carefull assasin and use megalomaniac on throatseeker?

I tried finding a megalomaniac with both of those but was unsuccessful. But yeah I'd say your plan would work. Just have to find another passive on the mega that works for you.

I use to be able to see the crafting rolls for items on these pages but it has since changed for armors. The jewely and I think weapons still function the same but this has made it much harder to figure out crafting rolls. Anyone know of a good site I can use now instead or if the functionality has moved somewhere else on the site?

basically you need all the life flask passives you can get

haha okay

you need soul bloom and high damage recouped as life to sustain the stacks

Watched the vid and busy comparing passives and reading but so far I only see the keystone passive for flasks working on energy shield. Does that allow recoup to work?

I wanted to make something truly impossible to fuck up so I am going with a Invoker monk and going for 10k ish ES + meditate.

#

But yeah that sounds way better actually kek

uncut bay
#

but it can be way higher than that, if I wanted more tankiness

old shuttle
#

Probs mighty expensive

#

But also kinda wanted to try a silly ele expression build

uncut bay
#

11k is maybe 20-30 divines

old shuttle
#

See if I can get it to work. And if it doesn’t work may pivot to molten blast

uncut bay
#

sure

old shuttle
#

And if that doesn’t work yea may go to a infernalist loop

uncut bay
#

archmage gemling is the tankiest and safest build in the game imo

#

as infernalist if you forget to drink a flask you just die

#

but if you drink them, it's really hard to die

old shuttle
#

Already have a gemling so didn’t wanna cringe and do it again.

#

Mind you it’s not like my gemling is meta. It’s Doryani flicker with HH

So are you telling me that the insane energy shield regen is purely because of flasks?

uncut bay
#

yep

Wow ok

uncut bay
#

you can play with just 10 demon stacks without aby recoup

terse haven
# uncut bay yep

Do you think this will allow recoup to work for energy shield tho? Out of curiosity?

just flat life regen on 1 item

if I have it on my passive tree, then no

Hey ya'll, so I'm playing lightning arrow deadeye following fubgun's build, what kind of bow should I be aiming for around the 2-6div mark in terms of stuff on it? Attack speed, level of proj skills, elemental damage with about 400 dps?

Working on some mercenary builds - has anyone tested the effectiveness of attack speed modifiers with single bolt ammunition? Sheet wise it seems negligble but testing in game there appear to be some minor advantages. From what i can tell atm attack speed modifiers for builds that use low or single bolt abilities doesn't seem worth

spiral smelt
steel sandal
#

okay that's way more valuable then

spiral smelt
#

Though, the only one bolt skill that is useful is explosive shot
plasma bolt to start bosses too

#

I tried all of the other ones and they are just utterly useless lmao

#

Like it's astonishing how USELESS they are, I could punch the monster that would do more

steel sandal
#

this glacial bolt + frag bolt build i have right now that seems strong

spiral smelt
#

Where are you at in the game ?

steel sandal
#

actII cruel

spiral smelt
#

Yeah for campaign this kind of stuff will work well indeed

#

But in endgame .... nah :/

#

reload glacial bolt, shoot, reload frag bolt, shoot

#

It's too slow of a rotation for map clearing in endgame

Though, I guess it could still work for bosses

steel sandal
#

glacial bolt just seems abnormally strong for some reason - the aoe from wall break is insane

tropic dock

when i attack most of the time my build change to the second weapon by it self, can i stop that ?

spiral smelt
# storm inlet Got any endgame suggestions for a witchhunter?

Well you are kind of forced to use howa
The basic stuff to do is go attribute stacking, clear with galvanic, dps bosses with shockburst

For ascendancy you can go for the rightmost one that gives way more AoE clear
Then the culling one. I then personnaly really like the sorcery ward one if you do invest a bit in evasion/armor rating

I don't use shockburst personnaly, I use rapid shot for bosses, it's cool because I don't need to shock the boss whatsoever then shockburst but eh
A friend is clearing with explosive shot + tree dragons with herald stacking and use explosive shot to shock bosses then shockburst

#

All of this is with crossbow obviously

storm inlet
#

Yeah I think howas Outta my budget atm, how much do they sell for?

spiral smelt
#

I bought mine for 2-3 divines

#

You will need it at one point, it will be the biggest dps boost you can have even without a good stat stacking build so eh

storm inlet
#

Also any tree I can follow for generic galv shards build?

storm inlet
spiral smelt
#

Pretty sure that even if it's nerfed it will be better than anything else

#

Like even if it's half what it does right now

storm inlet
#

Damn

spiral smelt
#

There is NOTHING to scale damage

#

Other gloves can bring like 10% attack speed and maybe 50 damage idk
If you have 100 int and 75 dex howa will bring more
On top of synergizing with other attribute stacking effects such as the node that gives 1% attack speed per 15 dex or even the accuracy into attack speed one (if you kind of naturally have 3k accuracy it starts being worth it)

Went up from 347k to 358k, 19% increased ES and gained -50% to freeze duration by picking up a time-lost diamond and dropping the pure chaos node in the tree for my poison concoction pathfinder. Very convenient Jewel. Hope to push for 400k soon

#

Also off-sheet 70% increase in damage if crit recently and a good amount of poison magnitude nodes. Gonna go for audience of the king again this weekend, he got me last time with a tornado

Everyone ran from poison concoction after the bow damage nerf so nobody had any build guides out, gotta go in blind

What a people running on their gemling, that isnt a stacker 😄 ?

agile coral
#

Question about bleed - Since bleed is based on the damage done by the hit that applies it and the fact that it cannot stack. Does this mean that you generally want to apply it with something slow and heavy rather than something fast hitting? And this would be the case for ignite as well? Poison can stack so I guess the source of application would be more lenient?

Corrupting cry is a support for warcries

That makes them apply a stacking phys dot

Base damage is 25% of your str per second per stack

Up to 10 stacks

15% more maximum lightning damage

Which one is better? like I don't get what "maximum lightning damage" refers to compared to raw lightning damage, is it another multiplier or it just increases the range of lightning damage values even further? I'm running a non-crit build with lucky on lightning damage rolls
