[celest blaze]

buy a shit jewel with a large or medium or small whatever radius

[past kindle]

yup, hard cap 40

[celest blaze]

and use it as a measuring stick

[dawn spire]

Path of building is really the most convenient way to compare nodes like that (assuming pob2 supports them)

[celest blaze]

damn. Well that saves me some divines

[past kindle]

got a skill at lv 40 rn without a +3 spell am, doesnt go past that

[celest blaze]

thanks for checking

[urban vessel]

ill check

[past kindle]

np

i should be overcapped but doesnt go past 40 👍

[urban vessel]

do i use the community path of building

[dawn spire]

Aye

There should be a link to it in #other-news

[urban vessel]

aight, i like open source stuff

then for trade related/price checking help, what tool's the best

[torn cobalt]

does scattershot support on crossbow grenades actually multi-hit single targets?

[celest blaze]

the parenthises (MAX) helps clear that up yes. damn.

[old shuttle]

is this fo rele expression?

[fiery sable]

Is there something that makes buff last longer on us?
I want something that has this effect on everything if possible

that works with rage and with this, for example

[dawn spire]

Yes. Area damage instances can overlap

[river drift]

Which class/builds are best for end game map/bossing?

[dawn spire]

I think archmage and attribute stacking builds are really strong right now but idk what can be called the best

[river drift]

Invoker vs legionaries?

[dawn spire]

They both have nuts builds and terrible builds, like all ascendancies

[tulip fog]

40 was the hardcap on skillgem level in PoE1, so im assuming its the same in PoE2

[past kindle]

yeah ik i was just demonstrating for someone who was curious

[native fern]

Is it still worth going for Lightning Rod Notable Passive even when my CoS LC is already at 53% crit chance?

[river drift]

So for stacking i would think legionnaire would be better cause of its passive skills?

[tulip fog]

there are no drawbacks to the node (other than spending points getting to it) so up to you, it helps equalise the damage differences between non-crit and crit hits

[native fern]

Do you think its worth sacrifing a total of 15% Shock magnitude? I will have to remove the entire Frazzled line and go from 100% shock mag to 85% shock mag for it.

[dawn spire]

Yeah, most stat stackers prefer gemling. It's also the closest class to the attribute cluster at the bottom of the tree

Tho you can absolutely do it with others

[tulip fog]

hard to say without seeing your setup and damage numbers, but frazzled is 30% and the node in front of it is 15% so it would be 45% if you removed both, not 15%
not to mention the other two before that node for another 30%

[river drift]

Im playing invoker rn. Im in end game and wanted to try stat stacking. I think im gonna try legionnaire

[dawn spire]

Are you saying 100% increased shock magnitude to 85% inc? Or 100% actual shock debuff to 85% shock debuff?

[native fern]

Actual

I have a total of 400% inc with frazzled

[tulip fog]

100% actual shock effect down to 85% shock effect would be like 15% less damage iirc. id say its probably worth it to bring the non crit damage up closer to the crit damage, if you have no way to further increase your crit chance

[dawn spire]

Going from 100% to 85% shock is 7.5% less damage

[native fern]

Thanks guys, will probably go for Rod and a total of 85% Shock Effect then

[dawn spire]

Is rod the lucky one or the more max damage one?

[native fern]

The lucky one

I have the max dmg one anoited

[dawn spire]

Do you use controlled destruction on your main lightning skill?

[native fern]

Nah, all crits

40% chance on spark

[dawn spire]

What crit chance does it have?

[native fern]

54% on LC

[dawn spire]

The lucky damage node only applies to non-crits

So if you're building crit it seems not worth losing 15% shock mag

[native fern]

Yea, thats why Im asking for opinions on this one

[red verge]

Guys, i want to know if my HP + ES is at an O.K level or, if it isn't, what's the number i should aim for? I use GRIM FEAST too. I posted my damage too because someone in global chat (in-game) said that it doesnt matter my HP/ES if my damage is high enough.

[tulip fog]

in POB, is there any custom command lines i can write that would show me my actual dps on my skill?
im using incinerate that applies 87% exposure on the enemy and exposure is not enabled on the skill in POB which means i need to link the exposure support in the planner to enable it, which puts baseline exposure at 20% instead of the 50% baseline that the skill originally has which then gets improved to 87% with passives

[dawn spire]

It's really hard to quantify survivability in poe2. If you're doing maps and not dying, you're fine imo. But you have less base life+es than my level 54 gemling in hcssf

But if you have solid damage and other layers of defense it doesn't really mean very much

[red verge]

Yeah, i agree with that. The thing is im trying to juice maps more and more, and i can't really tell if i will need to invest more in damage or survivability

Because if i know that amount of HP + ES is fine there's no point in searching for better boots with survivability. I can just go for damage.

dont know if i explained what i meant well lol

[slender bone]

Hello.
I have been playing an Ice Strike Invoker Monk and my survivability and damage kind of stagnated at T2 Pinnacle Bosses. I got my ass whooped by T2 Ritual Boss.
Except for a better Weapon, what can I improve ? I am looking at the rings, but I am not sure what should I look for in an upgrade.
https://maxroll.gg/poe2/pob/ny4tx0ze

[river drift]

Why is mobalytics not showing what’s socketed in special jewels in the passive skill tree

[dawn spire]

I think with a pool of only 2700-3800 life+es, you're definitely in danger of getting one-tapped by bosses

I mean, everyone kinda is for most bosses

[red verge]

i see

[silver sigil]

hi, anyone knows if eldrich battery is bugger or something? It has some weird interactions with couple of uniques

[tidal copper]

What uniques

[silver sigil]

wondering why after having atziri and everlasting gaze, i still have around 4k ES

[dawn spire]

Conversions all happen simultaneously, it's not a bug

So you convert your es to mana (from EB) and gain es from your mana (everlasting gaze) at the same time

If you had ghostwrithe it would give you even more es

They do it all in one step to prevent infinite loops

Among other reasons, probably

[silver sigil]

ic, i thought eldrich battery is the last effect that applies. thx

[dawn spire]

It is. But it's also the first. And so is everything else

[hot coral]

can you check dm please

[dawn spire]

Not likely

Just make a thread here

[hot coral]

what am i doing wrong

[dawn spire]

What are you trying to do and what is actually occurring?

[dawn spire]

You can save one point if you allocate the green and remove the red

[dawn spire]

You can also remove any one of those four red dot nodes

[gaunt ether]

Maybe dumb question but for gloves and rings, does it matter if the prefix “add x to x (element) to attacks” matches the element of the skill youre building around at all?

like for shatter conc

Or is any flat damage good to have

[dawn spire]

Overall, your tree has wayyyyy too little damage and waaaayyy too much es, imo. Get more life on gear. Also if you have that much es on the tree and still only have 2.7k es it seems like your es gear might be bad, too

@hot coral

Oh, wait

Do you have everlasting gaze?

You must, right?

Okay, never mind, 2.7k es is great. Didn't realize you were also MoM

[astral badger]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/pob/5o4id0zt

NOTE: POB is calculating my mana wrong. I have 5533 mana and 1005 mana regen per second.

Quick overview: This build started out as a cryoshock lightning warp telestomp build, inspired by Imortilize on YouTube. I wanted to try and increase the damage I was outputting and I ended up with this. This has cleared T18 maps with ease, and I've done a few +1 or +2 pinnacle bosses to test it. Also clears high level breaches well.

What can I do to improve it?

[pliant wedge]

what are some easy sources of proj speed for stormweaver sparks? Other than

• sp gem
• jewels

[rustic pond]

anyone got any cool summoner froze mage / melee boys build

that adds frost dmg to melee?

[leaden salmon]

Does the Red line for Soul core bonus mean its not working in PoB?

(Not counting the stat)

[thorny token]

thats right

if its red = not supported (yet)

[leaden salmon]

Cheers. Slightly annoying :< PoB is getting there though. Still abit off in terms of values etc. But hopefully they will update it soon

[tulip pivot]

just finished cruel, i have 5 divs, any build recommendation for deadeye budget?

[gaunt ether]

Where do you get pob?

[crisp star]

does effect of curses affect temporal chain's effect duration slowing or only the action speed slow?

like can you theoretically stack 100% curse effect then reflect it on yourself and get like 2x-3x the duration on buffs?

[dawn spire]

Quiver mods

[dawn spire]

Yes, that was a thing in poe1

And yeah, I think curse effect scales it

[crisp star]

ah ok cause is that supposed to work for blasphemy too?

cause i do have another character that has like +100 curse effect on a blasphemy temp chains

and somehow i don't think the duration doesn't go longer than the initial 25% increase

could just be testing a bad debuff with it since i've just been testing with poisons

the duration slowing supposed to be scaled with slow magnitude too or really just curse and aura effects?

[real dust]

hey guys, im playing some homebrew arc witch demon form spec, got a divine drop and could start buying beefy weapons and focus. Should I get rid of demon form for more dps??

[leaden salmon]

I dont think you get anything beefy for 1 divine this late into EA

[gaunt ether]

demon form dps can be pretty nuts

[vivid mauve]

reply to me pls sir

[dawn spire]

Can you screenshot the temp chains curse? I might need to reread it

[pliant wedge]

stormweaver tho

i don't play on widowhail setup

it's basically low budget setup

[dawn spire]

That's all I got

Aside from browsing uniques in pob

Could anoint a proj speed node

[uncut bay]

you can make your spells stun as titan, then use that thing that turns stun to pin

[pastel valley]

when Tempest Bell breaks i see some kind of glowy thing zapping me. is that a buff or something?

[pliant wedge]

ehh anoint probably doesn't work

not valuable

[tulip pivot]

just finished cruel, i have 5 divs, any build recommendation for deadeye budget?

i got widow, a decent quiver, and hand of wisdom

[eternal tusk]

Anyone could help me ? I feel the limit of my build, don't know where i can win damage : https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/7a59a0zh

[copper falcon]

does lightning conduit consume two shocks if i am a storm weaver and have the ascendency to apply two, or does it just consume one? if it only consumes one can I use lightning conduit + unleash in a cast on shock setup?

[dusty wagon]

Hey folks.

I just got into cruel act 2 and unlocked 2 handed hammer and shield (forgot name)

It’s pretty amazing as I feel invincible but I’m wondering if there is a guide I should be checking to ensure I’m as good as I can be? (Using hammer of god I’m level 53)

[raw forge]

What’s the max you can corrupt a skill to get extra levels?

[bleak plume]

just +1, so lvl 21 base

[raw forge]

Ok thank you 🙏🏻

[raw forge]

Are there any other advantages to corruption a skill other than the +1?

[bleak plume]

Higher quality, extra link if it’s not max already. But it can go the other way too

[latent dawn]

Hmm... is this +4 minion skills worth the loss of a shield...

[raw forge]

Ok yea I corrupted my spark and got a -1 so I’m about to buy a few more lvl 20 gems and remake the skill entirely

[latent dawn]

only upgrade to levl 20 after corruption

[raw forge]

Ok I didn’t think you could add anything after corruption but thanks for that it will, save me exalt

[latent dawn]

lv1 to 19 gem, qual to 20% if needed, 6L if needed - corrupt last.

If you get +1 level, upgrade to 20 - if it fails and isnt a bad corrupt, sell it to recoup the 6L (5L probably not worth selling)

[tribal reef]

i just grabbed 3 jewels with +15% energy gain for meta skills but doesnt show on the skill gem. is this just me or are the buffs there

for cast on shock

[plucky fern]

Is it possible to make POB look at all of my jewels and tell me which combination would be the best to use? I jut lost one jewel slot and now clicking through every combination sounds so annoying im just not gonna do it lol

[gray patrol]

“Best” generally depends on a ton of things that are up to you

Unless you have ones that are strictly better than others

What I do is take one jewel that I think is the worst and see if it gives me something better than all of the jewels I have currently equipped. If not, I keep it as is. If it is, the one I replaced is now my worst jewel and I repeat the process. It’s a lot faster than trying every combination.

[shadow zephyr]

Nevermind... just found the details about actual area vs. radius increase. Highly unintuitive unless you're a geometry fan, though. Most people will see "40% increased area of effect" and "Radius: 1 meter" and think 140% of 1 meter is 1.4 meters.

[flat root]

is there a way to generate enough charges for flicker strike infinitely or consistently?

[pearl moss]

Hi, I want to start a new character but wanted to know what are some cheap but fun builds I should try out? I've played LA Deadeye, PConc Pathfinder and Ice Strike monk so far

[uncut bay]

will this affect impending doom with archmage?

[uncut bay]

whatever is broken, should be the cheapest because you don't need expensive items to be strong, so archmage builds, mainly gemling spark, barrier invocation infernalist, pillar of the caged god etc

[heavy zenith]

can anyone share some ice build? Could be for sorc/mage. I'm thinking about doing new character

[pearl moss]

Gotcha. Ty. For pillar of the caged god, I only know of that stat stacker which is expensive. What other builds are there for it?

[uncut bay]

I made a pretty crazy ice nova build as barrier invocation infernalist, can even add comets to it, maybe through cast on freeze

[heavy zenith]

mind sharing it?

[uncut bay]

but you can also spam like tons of frost bolts

[heavy zenith]

ive seen somewhere crazy ice builds when i wasnt into it, but when i need it - i cant find it

[uncut bay]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jH357U6Qreg&t=97s
this was my build, but for the actual guide just search youtube

search for "barrier invocation infernalist", not "ice nova"

just add area of effect passives and jewels and you are good to go

[heavy zenith]

yeah i see that, comets are the ones im looking for, but that aoe ice skill looks usefull also

[uncut bay]

with pillar of the caged god you can only stack stats. no other way. and it's cheap lol

you have to compare it to other builds, let's say physical damage quarterstaff

like I said, if the build is broken, even a budget version of it will be strong

[pearl moss]

I always thought stat stacking builds were expensive lol. I'll check them out then. Ty

[uncut bay]

funny, comets are my main build ^ ^
I hover over all of my items in the end https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUqAz9-QUOo&t=36s

[heavy zenith]

ive just watched that

why infernalist tho?

[uncut bay]

there is also comet on ignite as infernalist

just as crazy

because infernalist has access to infernal flame and can damage himself

and demon form gave me that 20 million damage per second with comets

even though I didn't have a single damage or + to skills passive or mod anywhere

[remote coyote]

does anyone know if this works as intended ?

i have jewels that are corrupted but its not counting for example quiver bonus 15% and i got about 100%++ so should get 160+ bonus but it aint there showing up in skills information

[static plinth]

Are they magic jewels

Aka Blue

[remote coyote]

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[uncut bay]

yes this works as intended

[static plinth]

classic

[remote coyote]

yes... i'm blind ty

[heavy zenith]

great, ill definitelly take on look on that

[remote coyote]

i was trying so hard wtf

[uncut bay]

how did you manage to spend like 70 divines on something without knowing how it works? xD

[remote coyote]

it was only like 20div

😂

[uncut bay]

wow really?

[remote coyote]

yes

man this game really fk my brain xd

sorry, only started playing poe2

xd

[uncut bay]

keep in mind you have one jewel slot less and you will likely have one mod less on jewels with it

[remote coyote]

but @static plinth and @uncut bay many thanks

[uncut bay]

because you have to buy magic corrupted jewels, your choice of jewels is very small

no problem

[remote coyote]

yeah gonna need to test now..

if its worth it xd

[raw forge]

Whats an ideal roll for an against the darkness jewel for a spark build? Building into critical attire if that helps, thanks in advance

[willow wyvern]

Anyone got a budget build for around 50 divine fed up of trying to gear my gemling stacker too expensive

[remote coyote]

try using path of building 2

you basically copy paste gear in there to see if the current weapon/item is fitting

[heavy zenith]

have you tried that one yet?

[uncut bay]

no, but it deals like so much damage that you don't even know how much it is xD

based on a bug though

there is cast on crit comets, there is titan frost bomb with ice wall

[hollow dock]

Is there a way of mimicking Kitavas Thirst in PoE2 other than "Cast On..."

[uncut bay]

what is that?

[tough crow]

I cant find Thorns in Path of building. anyone got a hint for me to find it?

[atomic halo]

in what way? thorns is a mechanic?

in calcs?

[tough crow]

Thorns total in calcs ya

it should be a range from equipemnt and scavanged plating stacks(which i set to 10)

[atomic halo]

if you check the thorns modifiers on the items, are they highlighted in red?

[tough crow]

yes

[atomic halo]

that means they arent recognized by pob

they dont factor into anything, all the calcs ignore the line

you'd have to calculate it urself or wait until pob implements support

[indigo valley]

Hey guys, I'm playing a Chaos Chronomancer and recently started going into maps. In Campaign i didn't die once, and I started getting 1 shot by rares. I've no idea what to do? Help. Here's what I got https://maxroll.gg/poe2/pob/k85hy0ff

[tough crow]

ah ok thanks atleast im not blind. i can do some mental math

[hollow dock]

Anyone got a Frostbolts /Ice Nova build working?

Trying to replicate Hierophant Archmage from 3.25

[crude stratus]

trying to figure out to improve my build via weapon swap and messing with weapon points.
why i cant take 'Mind over matter' here, despite the fact i have skill/weapon points left?

[fervent sundial]

Cant take keystones with weapon skill points. Need actual points

[crude stratus]

gosh, alright got it, thx

[raw forge]

Adding an against the darkness jewel with a 4% int 1% mana will make a big enough difference?

They’re pretty expensive to me so I thought I’d ask before sinking 70 divine

[gaunt ether]

how do i change the values to specific numbers in pob?

if possilbe

slider doesnt have all available ranges

[leaden salmon]

Use PoB

[static plinth]

Hit edit at the top and type in the number

[dawn spire]

Does plague bearer respect your poison limit when it calculates the expected poison damage?

Like, if my poison limit is 1, but I poison something 5 times in 2 seconds, will it store the damage of 5 poisons or just 1?

[toxic crown]

Can anyone help me figure out why my DPS goes down after I get the spaghettification.

nvm, it goes away after I walk, very strange

[gaunt ether]

how do you socket support gems into a ascendacy skill?

on pob

[atomic halo]

you can select it as a skill

when you're adding skill gems

which i guess is an odd workaround while they get around to implementing it properly

[gaunt ether]

ty

was so confused

[strong frost]

Can someone explain to me if 1 is much better than the other and why? I know obviously it states higher dps but the other has skills

[hushed nacelle]

I just don't know what to do as a starter build. I love bleed but there doesn't seem to be any bleed starters.

[gaunt ether]

bleed concoction

but you dont start with it, you kinda have to lightning arrow til ur first ascendancy

should my PoB dps be the same as my in game tooltip?

its like 100K difference

[keen perch]

Anyone messing with Incinerate?

[royal flame]

% increased freeze threshold. is that a defense freeze or offensive freeze reduction

[static thicket]

Is my damage just to low or does living bomb not even hurt Frost Walls? I have the support gem that reduces life by 50% and the skill tree node that reduces it even further and it stilll seems not to break. I know I can't cast it ON the walls, but I'd think the AOE would still blow them up.

Yeah looking at my stuff they only should have 1000 life, theres no way living bomb doesnt decimate them.

Something seems off.

[snow arch]

Would it actually be worth my time losing like 100 strength to swap to EV+ES gear to get like 1000ES

I'd have to scrounge up like 8 more spirit to run ghost dance too

nevermind how much good hybrid gear costs and losing like 5000 evasion

[static plinth]

Defensive

[stable gale]

where can i see my stun threshold?

under "stun protection" on the character sheet there is nothing, but i have +stun threshold on a jewel and some items

and how much is considered "enough"

[frail crystal]

If you dont want to play spark (which seems to always go archmage), any point playing stormweaver? (fire/cold) or is infernalist better (for mass of spell dmg)

[wintry knoll]

Since most uniques are basically just troll items, which ones are actually worth ever using?

[gaunt ether]

theyre all specific to builds

ingenuity is probably the most universal

[wind tree]

hello guys ! i need some help with a info... i follow a build for gemling stacker, and he uses 2 tempest bells . how do i craft the other gem ? because it doesnt let me, says that i already own one 😦

[merry bone]

unequip the first one

[wind tree]

🤦‍♂️ ty

[hybrid ocean]

So dumb question, why the hell is the radius on Herald of Ash so tiny?

[tacit matrix]

on a galvanic shards build, what did yall use for single target before getting shockburst rounds?

[heavy tendon]

whats an optimal sorceress build?

[wicked tiger]

Spark stormweaver

[tawdry prism]

i got a link for someone final PoB build, is there a way to see how they recommend putting in their points in the passive tree? The order i mean, since I'm still leveling

[wicked tiger]

Go all damage until you start dying

[tawdry prism]

ooooo

okay ty!

[fleet musk]

Someone that can pls check my sorc/spark why it doesnt do any dmg?

[wild berry]

Grenades. Gas grenade specifically with the ignite helmet. Then respec when I get sbr

[uncut sparrow]

i think the listed dps is only for 1 bone. so multiply it by 20 for a full cast

[dire kayak]

Anyone knows any good youtube guides on how to do proper build? I am still a bit puzzled sometimes where to go and how to properly itemize

[manic jungle]

you're slamming the skill 10 times a second you dont want the levels or else you'll mana out, and you stack dex to slam more skills out

[heady garnet]

for cast on shock, if i use arcane tempo to reduce the cast time of the skill does that reduce the energy requirement?

[unkempt escarp]

Been trying out a Ranger going into Warrior stuff.
Dunno about viability but Earthquake into Escape Shot is just fun.

Consecrated Ground on landing and then just spam an AoE/chaining attack, or run in and Boneshatter if something is stun-ready.

[lofty remnant]

Does anyone know if the lightning conduit quality/Endless munitions chance to reapply shock after consuming causes the lightning conduit hit that removes the shock to benefit from that reapplied shock?

[dark vigil]

i got this amazing vorana can get both node within 6 points yet so hard to sell at 60 div...

[jovial blade]

When you get CI, you have 1 life right? Is it considered full or low life?

[old shuttle]

Full

Used to also be low but it got fixed

[viscid stump]

Anyone have crazy DPS with minions? Trying to build a top level build but hit a wall

[bitter garden]

Can someone recommend me a good support gem for firestorm?

im using hourglass and spell echo

anything else?

[fluid helm]

Any crossbow user here? Is shockburst round and rapid fire basically the same skill, just that one is lightning and one fire? Can't decide which to go for

[silver anvil]

base spell crit rate is 5%?

[hushed glen]

Is it possible to change attribute points in Path of Building 2 in the passive skill tree and not reset everything up to that point?

[viscid stump]

Just click on the point when respecing

[strong frost]

So what level do I want my skills to be at? Just 20? Or lower?

[rugged mirage]

Anyone know is 2% lightning dmg per 10 int is good for lightning rod deadeye build? Idk what node do i take in amulet

[hushed glen]

When I click on it the entire skill tree jumps back to that point and I have to redistribute from there

[cosmic glen]

Hey guys, is there someway to show you my build when I’m a console player? I just got a divine orb drop, and would like some suggestions on what to upgrade first gear wise

[manic jungle]

I don't play monk I saw a mapping build using lv 12 a while ago

[wanton sigil]

hello everyone, been trying to decide what build to use as my starter. What starter build you feel is the smoothest to play?

[jovial blade]

what do we need to hope for when vaaling skill gems?

[dawn spire]

Usually +1 socket

[hollow bronze]

Doing a ice monk build and I feel like I can't up my ice strike DPS with gear. I only have 4D ATM I just need a little boost to be better in T15 maps( I'm lvl 84) I have all 4 asends also my ice strike does 41k now I believe

[delicate aspen]

Anyone got a maxroll/pob2 link for a plague bearer based build? I'm making my homebrew build and want to see how the pros allocated passive tree points

[jovial blade]

what if you already have 5 socket?

[dawn spire]

Then you can hope for +1 level or bonus quality and pray you don't lose a socket

[jovial blade]

Ohh okay thanks

[spare quartz]

Any monks around? Is this 20+ div value, or whittle worthy? Or needs a chaos orb

Or how hour do i search for that damage in the trade site

[livid fulcrum]

It's just over 1k dps, that can help you narrow down range

(1,025)

It does look like a good candidate for whittle though, but idk enough about it

[quartz cairn]

It's worth something as is but idk about 20 div. Missing relevant stats for 2 bad ones

[spare quartz]

Thanks that helps, i put 800 in the high end phys damage section and it's bringing up 600dps staves

[quartz cairn]

Even if it just had crit chance or crit dmg or even cold dmg over the attribute requirements or radius it'd be a massive shift in value. Might be worth trying a chaos

Or, might be worth selling as is and letting someone else gamble

[floral folio]

question, If i used Distilled emotions and get a passive on the amulet, it slots it into the passive tree, but if I already had it slotted, would it stack and give me another one? or am I wasting it

[quartz cairn]

Think it'd be wasting it, as it's already allocated on the tree

[floral folio]

okay thats kinda what I was thinking too but wanted to make sure with someone

[quartz cairn]

Usually can't double dip that way. Although I am not 100% certain

[floral folio]

I wish i could, I'm trying to get my aura build up

[hollow bronze]

I don't have 20d but I'm grinding tonight maybe I can buy it form you?

[spare quartz]

Possibly, I'm home from work in 14 hours. Idk about the price though

That one has 2 bad stat but 50 div

If I'm reading the damage right it's about the same

[livid fulcrum]

Yeah I think this is probably more real than 20?

[jovial blade]

what does player in area % delirium mean?

[spare quartz]

Seems like a very high damage on mine but i wish we could search damage values properly

[jovial blade]

delirious*

[hollow bronze]

Yeah I'll have to look at it properly tonight dude, but if it sells let me know

My staff DPS is 750 now so

[runic flare]

need some help with my deadeye i want my herald of thunder and herald of ice to pop everytime which stats or passive tree nodes shloud i prioritize?

[livid fulcrum]

I think the first whittle would be reduced attributes, then it looks like light/accuracy or just accuracy. It depends on what the %phys rolls are though

Since there are at least 2 %phys I think, one with accuracy, just like the light also has accuracy

[dense mica]

Best early game sorceress build? Rn I'm just spamming frost shard/frost bolt through fire wall lmao

[spare quartz]

There's mine and a similar one with 10% block chance for 150 divine 😮

A whittle does sound like the thing to do but I'll probably post it first

Unless that block chance holds a lot of value maybe it does

[rancid cipher]

How many skills can be used by default without a ring? Is it 9?

[dawn spire]

hold S/D/I and left click a node to change it to str/dex/int, respectively

[dawn spire]

yep, 9 gem slots

skills granted by items and ascendancies don't count toward that limit

[dawn spire]

I really like https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1326972100409426081 for leveling basically anything

sorc has nice lightning nodes near the start which is neat

[rancid cipher]

How does Elemental Exposure work with with Hypothermia? Assuming my Exposure is 20% and my Hypothermia is 32%, would it cause the mob to have 52% less cold resistance?

[gaunt ether]

uhh

mods?

[orchid hatch]

Not sure if it's additive (20+32=52) or something more complex, but both debuffs can take effect for sure.

[trail monolith]

how big is the gap of 1 skill level in the endgame usually?

for example, 25% more elemental damage vs +1 skill level

[orchid hatch]

For minions, skill level is everything. For other skills, I've heard numbers ranging from 10% to 25% but no one seems to know exactly. I think it probably depends on the skill itself.

[trail monolith]

are there diminishing returns to skill level

or is it exponential growth

[orchid hatch]

I would guess that it's not exponential. Perhaps linear. Possibly a curve of some sort. You'd really have to do some exhaustive testing to figure it out. Take a skill and a bunch of incremental uncut gems and cut the same skill. Then you'd need + skill level gear to push past what you can cut. Plot it out and extrapolate.

[frosty fulcrum]

how much should I being paying a decent pair of HOWA gloves? seeing varying prices on the trade site

[leaden salmon]

Depends on rolls etc.

The prices vary based on quality of rolls.

And some of the lowest prices tend to be bait / people not selling.

[delicate aspen]

Besides prism of belief (+3), crown of victory (+1) support gems (+2) and passive tree (+1). Is there other ways to add levels to Plague Bearer? The scaling is insane on it

It's a buff not a spell so +# to spells doesn't work on it sadly

Oh and +1 from Gemling tree also. Forgot about that sweet one

[carmine flicker]

why blue/magic mobs continue to act under 124% slow?
(that's after their reduction for being, you know, blue mob)

[celest blaze]

is there a hard cap on slow perhaps? I didn't think there was

[carmine flicker]

look like there is

10 div to nothing

there isn't hard cap on whites, they stop as they should

rare and magic continue moving, slow, but still

and bosses move at their 50% even under some bullshit 80% slow

[dawn spire]

They're additive to -52% cold res

[dawn spire]

I wonder if there's a hard cap of 90% like there is with damage reduction

[spare quartz]

Sorry they aren't screenshots it's a little tough on the eyes. Doing some big damage with this setup for my pathfinder poison concoction though if anyone's running it and looking, or has suggestions to tweak

I was able to crush audience with the king last night in a few seconds though

[solar pond]

I think it is exponential

One of the main ways ppl build dps is by getting their level as high as possible

[celest blaze]

one of the main advantages of crannking minion skill level is it doesn't also crank maan costs

I do feel like the reservation went up with some skills at higher level though, I forget

[dawn spire]

I thought minion skills lose reservation as they level

[open ocean]

yes, tho not for every

[rancid cipher]

Does "increased Flask Life Recovery rate" work for energy shield gained when using Eternal Youth?

[open ocean]

not 100% sure but it should

[celest blaze]

most do

I don't remember details but there was something that went up

[dawn spire]

I'd wager it should work

Is there a hard cap for the amount of quality a gem can have?

And if a gem is corrupted, does it still gain quality from the gemling +quality nodes?

[rancid cipher]

I assume this would as well then?

[rugged mirage]

Anyone playing deadeye lightling rod who's in endgame pls dm me i have a question

[placid meteor]

I'm a monk. On the attribute passives shall I choose dex or int? Or alternate between both?

[dawn spire]

Go with whatever you need to equip your gear/gems

Attributes don't do much on their own

They're primarily used to fulfill requirements unless you're playing a special build that stacks them

[placid meteor]

Ok so attributes are just to meet skills/support gems requirements?

[dawn spire]

Mostly, yeah

And gear requirements

[placid meteor]

Alright thanks!

[dawn spire]

I like to have a balance in the campaign if possible so I can equip any good life/res gear that comes along regardless of what type it is

[carmine flicker]

there is no for white mobs
guess there is for magic and better..

[dawn spire]

Rip the dream

[carmine flicker]

rip 10 div spent on jewels I will never sell

[lapis slate]

I want to buy a dream fragments, what's the most important thing I should be looking for? What's the mínimum mana regen?

I have a 78% ingeniuty

[carmine flicker]

so next thing is 90% block warbringer
but idk what to do for damage on warbringer at all

[dawn spire]

Skeletal reavers are solid I've heard

Kripp made a minion warbringer build with them

[carmine flicker]

idk if I can go for reavers with 90 block

nodes too far apart

he also use different ascendancy nodes, totems and armour breack both

or smth

[hushed glen]

Thanks

[dawn spire]

Maybe magma barrier (:

Or be the first person to use resonating shield

[carmine flicker]

resonating break warbringer(magma barrier too, btw)

cause it RAISE shield, and that make warbringer not work

I guess there is a way to get max block minion-bringer

then again frost mages look better than reavers, they freeze everything solid and all

[raw scaffold]

In POB2, how can you assign your ascendency points?

NM, just saw them outside the main passives paths

[elfin sequoia]

hey does anyone have a recommendation for a ranger build that obliterates t4+ pinnacle bosses - budget not an issue

[gaunt ether]

Deadeye lightning arrow or any concoction with investment

[elfin sequoia]

LA deadeye sounds great - know any guides - a lot of what im finding is geared towards average players

im looking for a super high end version

[gaunt ether]

i wouldnt be able to point to one sorry

I just know my friend plays it and has no issue, aside from simulacrum

[hybrid ocean]

Does from nothing let you allocate the skill its centered on?

[dusk depot]

someone here that can help me out with my monk build? Need some advice from a high level monk player 🙂

[valid bolt]

guys i built an attribute stacker char and iam clearing t15 16 maps easly but iam so squshy can some one help me with that

[dawn spire]

Oh, right, forgot you lose the benefit during active block. I see.

What about some kind of chaos dot stacker with forbidden rite totem + block nodes? You could even grab some curse stuff and use decaying hex to spread with contagion

Then you just reapply dots and run around not dying

[carmine flicker]

kinda different part of tree too
and tons of skill used for mediocre effect
did think of that

can't wait to have swords, axes and other 1h(and 2h-as-1h with keystone) weapons

may be they will have better skills than god-awful maces

[dawn spire]

Shockwave totem might be neat. It doesn't scale with your weapon so using a shield isn't as big of a deal

Tho I guess giant's blood exists

[carmine flicker]

for shockwave you need to go with 2h weapons

cause +7 to melee skill from each of those 2

[dawn spire]

I would have figured a single +7 and some on gloves would be enough

[carmine flicker]

did shockwave gemling
was ok

[carmine flicker]

sadly no

[dawn spire]

You could also weapon swap to two +7s and then back to the shield

Just don't die while placing them

[carmine flicker]

had +2 gloves, +3 amulet, +7 weapon
was way worse damage than my.. titan frost mages(don't ask)

(let's be honest, titan frost mages is probably way better than infernalist offensive wise)

like.. 50% extra effect of tons of minion nodes is HUGE

(most minion nodes that give damage are small ones anyway)

[dawn spire]

Did you mean to say titan or warbringer?

[carmine flicker]

titan

sorry

[pine ruin]

So I've been running a Grenadier merc guide, I wanna transition into this end game Helm Of The Three Dragons build. I've got the unique helm required, but getting all this switched out feels like a daunting task, one that once I start im stuck and I dont wanna get left pants half on with a imcomplete build that I need to go get other crap for. Any suggestions before I start trying to accomplish this.

[dawn spire]

Gotcha

[dawn spire]

What's daunting exactly? You're swapping a hat and some skills, right?

Or is there more to it?

What does your build do right now?

[carmine flicker]

lvl 80 ultimatum bosses were basically oneshotted
as were most maps bosses etc
what weren't were frozen and then killed in 3-4 second while frozen

[pine ruin]

I have to switch all my skills and sup gems around (Kinda) I have some of them but some I don't, I need like 4-5 spirit skills and a few of them run the skill around lvl 7 so I gotta hunt down a few low level gems, gear is gonna need to be switch, and passive tree has to get moved around some.

[carmine flicker]

it was good, tbh
one problem - summons are stupid and it was like herding cats 24/7 in narrow passage maps

[pine ruin]

if it would be easier, I can drop the guide I used for leveling and then I can drop my end game build guide I'm basing things off of. I've not followed them to a T, just used them as a general guide until I feel compitent with the game.

[pine ruin]

What I was doing https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/grenade-mercenary-leveling-guide and then what I want to be doing for end game https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/explosive-shot-witchhunter-build-guide

[dawn spire]

Can you click the x in the top right to remove the embeds please? Ty

[pine ruin]

yeah sorry didn't realize

[dawn spire]

I wouldn't swap anything until you have all your new gems laid out in your inventory, you can equip all your gear, and you have enough gold to respec

I definitely would not just start swapping stuff around and hoping for the best

[outer talon]

looking for a PoB expert... when i try to add a custom 10% physical damage reduction, my ehp goes up but my max phys hit taken goes down 10%. tried everything i can think of to fix it, but it only keeps going down

the 10% comes from jade ascend for warbringer

[pine ruin]

Exactly why I decided to come here and get some direction, that's already what I was doing. Hence the helmet and stuff, I've slowly been putting it together. This morning I started on the gems and ran into the issue of I wasn't saving low level spirit gems.

My next issue is I'm in maps and it's like 50/50 on how well it goes. Boss maps have been giving me issue, I don't wanna die so frequently I start getting negative consequences from it. Any sugggestions on where I should farm and grind to make all this come together. Should I just stick on teir 1 maps or go back and farm cruel content

[dawn spire]

It sounds like your ele resists aren't capped yet. That would be my #1 priority

[outer talon]

i tried putting the buff on a random charm, just to see what the math says on calcs

[dawn spire]

Just focus on getting solid gear with life, res, and movement speed before you go galavanting with gear swaps

[pine ruin]

you think I should just stick to the teir 1 maps or go back and do the stuff before maps

[dawn spire]

Out of curiosity, what happens if you make it -10% instead of +10%?

[outer talon]

it makes it just do nothing

[tidal copper]

Can you try a different wording
Maybe the one in doppelganger guise?

[outer talon]

ill get a pic

[dawn spire]

I think you likely have currency to upgrade your gear and cap your res now. I'm confused, are you using half the gear/gems from the three dragons build? Or are you still fully using the leveling build?

You can also buy low level spirit gems from the trade site

[tidal copper]

reduced reduction

[outer talon]

lol

it was red in other syntax

[pine ruin]

I'm still on the old build. So it sounds like I need to go do some shoppping.

[dawn spire]

Does that raise your phys max hit?

[outer talon]

no it doesnt effect it at all

[dawn spire]

Shopping, crafting, gambling, etc

Or just keep progressing the maps that you can

[gaunt ether]

Is there somewhere to see if a stat has a hard cap?

[outer talon]

like it just makes no sense that my ehp would go up and phys 1hit would go down

[dawn spire]

Pressing R3 and reading more about it usually states if it has one

[dawn spire]

What about if you use a chest piece with the phys damage reduction prefix? Does it do the same thing?

[pine ruin]

So I'm fairly new, I know eventually dying has negative reprocusions. When do those set in and when do I need to become worried about it. I do most of my maps fine but eventually I'll die loose the buffs on it and run it how it is the second time around. Is there a better way I should be going about things?

[gaunt ether]

So pen has no cap?

[outer talon]

ill try it, but it also didnt work with a custom configuration

[gaunt ether]

doesnt show it

[dawn spire]

If you die in a map you lose all the bonus "things" on it (as Elon like to put it) and lose 10% of your current xp. You cannot delevel

[dawn spire]

No, but it can't go below 0%

[pine ruin]

okay dope, ty I feel like I have more direction now

[outer talon]

chest piece, but it doesnt change my physical max hit

[dawn spire]

Yeah pob2 is certainly in a weird state

[outer talon]

ok nm it does

i still had the charm active

but it still reduces my max hit lol

yeah, seems like PoB bug

[gaunt ether]

so this is 100%pen if you freeze? or im i reading wrong

[dawn spire]

It's more like infinite penetration, but yeah

[gaunt ether]

oh sweet

[mild oracle]

Hello everyone, just want to ask, with Giant's Blood - nodes for One Handed weapons works for Two Handed weapons?
Like this, for example.

[outer talon]

i dont think so

they are still 2 handed weapons

"two hand mace" on item description

i think is what matters

[mild oracle]

Eh, thats unlucky.
Thank you for info.

[hidden crown]

BEST ASCENDANCY NODE FOR INVOKER
Between this two, which one is better for boss?

1) Unbound Avatar (+40% ElemDamage | +40% ElemAilment | +80% Chance ElemAilm >> For 10 seconds)
2) Sunder Enemies (Critical Hits ignore non-negative Enemy Monser Elemental Resistances)

[simple gust]

is Selling builds for Divine illegal here?

[leaden salmon]

Its not illegal, since there is no law against it out in the real world 😄

But it is against server rules

[simple gust]

[leaden salmon]

You can do it on TFT

[hidden crown]

Best skill to use with cast on shock on attribute stacker invoker?

ty!

[toxic spade]

Alright, so for HC, I want to go CI/evasion. Right now I'm at 1,570 health/1,220 ES. Just now getting towards some ES nodes and such. What ES number should I hit before swapping to CI? (Just hit maps, like map tier 2-4, lvl 71. Haven't done gear upgrades for a bit, and just now reaching my big ES nodes on the tree too)

[plush basalt]

which is better? any ideas from people who know this game better than me?

[toxic spade]

I mean, depends on your build and current res. Will the extra 10 spirit let you use another spirit gem? Will one of your resistances not be capped with one piece of armor over the other? Are you leaning heavily into ES, or more health based?

[trail monolith]

I'd pick the left one unless that extra 8 spirit lets you use another persistent skill

[spare quartz]

Get your resistances maxed to 75% before worrying about spirit or some extra life

[ionic kraken]

Anyone know what the quality modifier on Raging Spirits does?

[dawn spire]

At 20% quality you get +1 to the limit you can summon

Quality 0-19% does nothing

[ionic kraken]

Well, you get 5 per cast. Maxing out at 10. So... does +1 mean I summon 11 in total?

[dawn spire]

It means you max out at 11 instead of 10, yes

[ionic kraken]

Wow. Thanks.

[dawn spire]

Which is 10% more damage, which is pretty good for 20% quality

Aka only 4 gcps

[ionic kraken]

Ok. When you put it that way.

[toxic spade]

Just wanna ask this again if anyone has any advice/general benchmarks

[hushed nacelle]

Does anyone know what I should use to level witch up with at least until I get to bone storm? I'm kind of lost. Spark?

[dawn spire]

Most people I've talked to recommend not going CI until you have 3k es at least. And that's for Softcore

[dawn spire]

Spark+flame wall+orb of storms.

Or lightning rod + orb of storms

Those are my recommendations at least

[hushed nacelle]

Is there a place I can go to show me what support gems I should be using for those?

[dawn spire]

Contagion + essence drains isn't too bad either

[toxic spade]

I'm not SSF, so at this point I just equip a pillar of the caged god on every new character I make and spam strength nodes till I unlock the gem I want to use.

[grim storm]

can abilities as in gems be swapped between characters?

[dawn spire]

https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1326972100409426081

For spark, I'd put arcane tempo and acceleration on it. Then controlled destruction and overabundance on orb of storms. Persistence and fortress on flame wall, imo

[toxic spade]

Yes, you can unequip them and save them for use on other characters. You cannot de-level them, however.

[dawn spire]

Yes, they're items that you can stash

Everything is tradeable in this game except gold and quest items

[grim storm]

thnx, need to test further, as tried this, and im sure the damage did 0

[dawn spire]

I mean, if the character isn't built around a new skill it will probably be a lot worse yeah

[grim storm]

info says x damage

doing nothing,

[toxic spade]

Sometimes the damage numbers don't update till you go outside of town and do an attack

[grim storm]

but in test, deals 0 damage

wasnt sure if it was intended or not

playing witch skill from sorcery toon

[toxic spade]

So that's the skill's description. But what's the expanded tooltip say? (Like, do you have something that causes you to deal no elemental damage, for instance?)

[toxic spade]

Woof, I'm gonna have to do some big shopping then

[grim storm]

how do i access that?

[toxic spade]

Hit G to open up your equipped gems screen. (Or whatever the equivalent is if you're not on PC)

Then there are arrows you can click to expand the skill info

[grim storm]

broken then

[rancid cipher]

"Removes 15% of Life Recovered from Mana when used"

How does this flask modifier work when using CI?

[toxic spade]

Interesting. Other thoughts: Are you testing it on a proximal tangibility enemy?

[toxic spade]

deaded

[grim storm]

gone down to low level area

now it does

[toxic spade]

So you're casting the frost bomb. It's pulsing, and then explodes on the enemy. And the explosion deals no damage at all to low level monsters?

[grim storm]

that was weird

yeah, taking off and back on sort of fixed it

[rancid cipher]

Wait how does it kill me? Wouldn't the mana version of this kill?

[dawn spire]

I think it kills you, but I'm not sure

[toxic spade]

Ooh, I misread lol

[rancid cipher]

This is the life flask version, which removes mana.

Haha np

[toxic spade]

With CI, you wouldn't even be able to use it I don't think, cause you'll be at full health

Unless you've got some mod that like say, heals ES instead of life with potions, etc.

[rancid cipher]

Sorry, should have clarified (tired). Using Eternal Youth which lets me use flask for energy shield.

Got ahead of myself there.

[hidden crown]

best breach points upgrades atlas tree? (in order)

[rancid cipher]

I'm wondering if the energy shield heal is drained from mana, or if it's basically just free added recovery with no downsides.

[toxic spade]

I haven't gotten that far yet, but I plan to use that once I go CI. And uh, my guess would be that it'll drain 15% of the amount of ES that your potion heals, from mana.

[rancid cipher]

Going around to vendors atm trying to find one. lol

[toxic spade]

I'm guessing that because your potions still say 'life recovered', basically. Even if you have eternal youth.

[dawn spire]

Oh yeah, I couldn't read. My b. I actually have no idea if that removes mana or not. Because with eternal youth, I'm pretty sure "increased life recovery from flasks" still translates to more es recovered

But because you're not recovering life... It's hard to say

[rancid cipher]

Every vendor has a million mana flasks and one life. lol

Got one, so everyone else knows, it does reduce mana.

[toxic spade]

Just spam alterations until you get the mod you want on your flask

[toxic spade]

nice ty

[rancid cipher]

Here's another question. If you have no mana left (or not enough mana), does that prevent a flask with this mod from working?

I assume that wouldn't be true, but I figured I'd ask.

[toxic spade]

I believe so, yeah.

[rancid cipher]

Oh really?

Interesting ok

[toxic spade]

It did in PoE 1 at least.

[rancid cipher]

So it's an actual cost.

[dawn spire]

I don't think it stops it

[toxic spade]

Oh it doesn't?

Actually I guess it wouldn't if not having sufficient life doesn't stop the other version

[rancid cipher]

Yeah that's a good point.

[toxic spade]

Maybe I'm just remembering wrong. I could have sworn though I couldn't heal one time cause I didn't have enough mana, in PoE 1.

[dawn spire]

Not that I know of. It says it "removes X mana when used"

It doesn't rely on having that resource

[toxic spade]

I could also just be bad at game and bad at 'membering things.

[dawn spire]

Try speccing blood magic and try it

I have blood magic on my char, I'll try it when I get home

[toxic spade]

I would deffo defer to someone else who is more confident on it than I am lol

[dawn spire]

Wait, no, I don't need to try it

I'm fuckin using one of those flasks

And it works fine lmao

[toxic spade]

lmao

[rancid cipher]

LOL

Ok, thank you.

[dawn spire]

I forgot because I have to press it maybe once a map

[toxic spade]

What's your ES numbers at, and hows the ES healing feel, with that node and potions, btw?

[rancid cipher]

I'm at 5.3k atm. This is my first PoE game so my build goal for defenses didn't quite work out as intended hah. I wanted to focus on energy shield / faster energy shield recharge along with evasion in hopes of reaching a fairly automatic sustain. Turns out that Eternal Youth + a belt with 20% instant flask recovery just does this a lot better with very little downside.

That and the fact that Grim Feast is out of control. If I'm clearing a map there's normally little concern unless I get frozen.

[toxic spade]

Yeah, I'm planning on relying on ghost ward + eternal youth once I get enough ES to go CI, rather than any faster recharge

I like my "oh shit button" of just spamming instant health pot

But I was afraid the numbers might be a lil too small.

[rancid cipher]

I liked the idea of faster recharge a lot for bosses. When playing with others I constantly heard people talking about running out of flasks against them.

Since you can dodge boss attacks easily, it seemed nice.

[toxic spade]

I'm path finder so I don't understand what 'running out of flask charges' means

[rancid cipher]

I think it's honestly still fine for mapping as well since Grim Feast covers so much, but the point investment just isn't worth it at all for the passive nodes.

[silent charm]

Soooo the reservation nodes in witch ascendancy just do nothing if your CI ?

[rancid cipher]

I'm playing a wonky melee Stormweaver so I get to use Heart of Storm which lets me convert 40% of elemental damage back to energy shield as recoup.

[toxic spade]

I'm definitely just relying on grim feast for basically all my damage reduction. Only blackjaw ever actually knocked me down to damaging my health, so far.

[rancid cipher]

I expect energy shield to get nerfed next season, but I kind of just hope that they hit Grim Feast a bit instead. I feel like that's a huge chunk of the problem. The skill is insane. lol

Even if it didn't let me double my energy shield I'd still be taking it for the massive regen it offers. I think that's a sign that there's a tuning issue. lol

[toxic spade]

Yeah. Curious as to what they're going to do with it.

Hm, I used the search but didn't find any in the channel. Anyone know of any decent Atlas skill point guides?

[visual grove]

curious which is the "easier to build energy" between cof or coi

[fading agate]

does a leap slam deadeye build exist?

[toxic spade]

Be the change you want to see in the world!

[fading agate]

I'm pretty sure that'd be bad since attack speed seems to not make it faster

[toxic spade]

Yeah I have no idea if it'd be actually workable or not.

[fading agate]

pretty sure I am too new to figure that out

[hollow token]

Is it possible to calculate detonate dead damage on your own minion in PoB?

[hybrid ocean]

Damn. Is this supposed to work like this?

I would've thought from nothing would let you allocate the keystone as well

[polar crag]

Please help.. i attach 100% shock gem to Shockburst round but it still deals no damage.. 😦

[split skiff]

What’s better…. A +4 minion skill scepter with 100% increased Allie damage or ….just a +5 minion skill scepter?

[spiral smelt]

So I need +100 hp on every gear to not get one shot?

To run fully juiced T15 maps with delirious

I have 2.4k hp and 300 es and 4k sorcery ward with 70% evasion and like 2k armor

[atomic halo]

you have to path to the keystone

manually

same thing as impossible escape in poe1, you dont get the keystone itself

[spiral smelt]

You can't anoint keystones, you can't get them with weapons points (!!! So annoying) and you can't get them with diamonds too 😦

[primal badge]

anyone knows what distilled is use for Doomsayer?

[atomic halo]

you have to use those unique gloves if you really want it

[primal badge]

know you don't just cap your resistances and use grim feast with 1k ES and 70 plus Evasion and you can solo any Juice T15 Map or T16

[spiral smelt]

And how much base life?

[hybrid ocean]

Yeah, I figured. Just hurts to lose the glove slot

Trying some silly giga crit build featuring two of these

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/742512397591511080/1334906533968085053/Screenshot_20250131_152148_Chrome.jpg?ex=679e3c17&is=679cea97&hm=87c9a3f6dd1bfbac7bfae1024994c4385545beb830016d8f26560072bc745113&

[primal badge]

Mine is 1585 LIfe and 1210 ES and 71% Evasion and i'm soloing anything and the game

[spiral smelt]

You never get randomly one shot?

Because I have around the same health pool

[primal badge]

nope I don't my Resistance is 75% for most 73% for Chaos

plus Grimm Feast double my shield to 2.4k

[primal badge]

what's your resistance?

[primal badge]

Are you using Grim Feast and Wind Dancer?

[spiral smelt]

75% all except chaos which is pretty low, but isn't chaos just those purple orbs and poison?

Wind dancer yeah, not grim feast, I only have 300 es

[primal badge]

nooo blood magic is chaos as well

that is why you getting one shot

[spiral smelt]

I have sorcery ward too which gives me 4k elemental shield

[spiral smelt]

But blood magic is a dot no?

[primal badge]

chaos is one of the most dangerous in the game

[spare quartz]

I just want to stack attack speed on jewels with flask recharge rate, and an adorned for a crack rapid fire concoction build

[spiral smelt]

And wasn't blood damage physical? Like bleeding

[primal badge]

yeah but if your resistance is low on it will seem different

[spiral smelt]

Yeah no it's litteraly a one tap

When my life gets down fast due to, say, blood pool on the ground I have the time to see it

[primal badge]

yeah but when there is a chaos explosion you will die with 1 tap

or even when a mosnter hit you with a chaos move migh even 1 tap you

[spiral smelt]

The chaos explosion is the purple ball, I just dodge it

Also it usually don't one tap me, and if it does then yeah I'd know what to do

But I'm pretty sure it's physical damage one taps

[hybrid ocean]

Extra chaos damage on bosses has one shot me a couple times

[primal badge]

send your build i'll check that is strange

picture

[violet vault]

is this viable? (i have healers so they don’t die)

[quartz cairn]

Are there any good melee builds aside from tempest flurry/ice strike currently?

[spiral smelt]

I'm eating, I'll do that later

[primal badge]

no probs

[spiral smelt]

Oh yeah
Like the savannahs fucking centaurus boss, this one just always one shot me

[hybrid ocean]

I'm trying to cook one up atm, I'll let you know how it goes in a couple of days if you remind me

[lethal robin]

hey i was wondering is there somthing that works like purity of element

[quartz cairn]

Ok ty

[lethal robin]

or somthing that just ignores all chill effect/ frozen

not the charm xD

[ivory prism]

There is a body armour that inverts chill effect

And dream frags ignores chill and freeze

[dense mica]

What's a good early game sorceress build? I'm level 10 rn

[lethal robin]

ty!

[peak drift]

hey guys, was hoping I can get some help deciding on what a good budget build is that lets me clear t15+ as well as bossing for rift,similacrum and whatnot?
I was looking into sparkmage, deadeye (not sure between iceshot or LA), or triple stack monk....

any help would be appreciated 🙂

[primal badge]

-+the archer has like 3 check on youtube

[peak drift]

awesome thanks ❤️

[dense mica]

Is freezing shards or spark better?

[primal badge]

budget noooo spark build is crazy expensive

minimum 250 Divine

and falls off against boss

Deadeye build can nuke bosses easily under 5 secs

[hollow dock]

Can I reduce this with arcane tempo?

the answer is no

sly

[hybrid ocean]

Do herald skills just use the left weapon when dual weilding?

[fringe sinew]

ladz i have the staff and Howa gloves already for stat stacker and some decent rings as well that i crafted can i build a gemelin stat stacker that will handle t16 brach / delirium with 20 divs max ?

[timid minnow]

So what happens with this much recoup life? do you "heal" from every instance of damage that hits you and doesn't kill you?

it's 111% recoup, I think you can get 73% from the tree alone

[keen hull]

i need help big time i tried 3-4 different builds for bloodmage now and none of them are really working for me, i do way to little dmg, and am way to squishy and just stuck at act 3. i tried with curses, i tried with caos, i tried minions, i tried bonestorm i tried almsot evrything and it doesnt work, i really need some help. i would prefer to play with caos/ curses possible unearth and minions too. i am so sick and tired of just stupidly farming money and to redo my skill tree all the time and to redo all my skills

[atomic halo]

#% of the damage taken is recovered over 8 seconds

[civic garden]

Hi I just finished campaign and am looking around some beginner friendly end game builds for invoker monk and saw ice strike, what is a really good guide for it? I'm a brand new POE player so need a lot of handholding 🥲

[prime maple]

Is it possible to make a one shot build at level 70 for monk ?

[hoary tundra]

do ya just manually put every skill gems, items, skill tree and jewls into pob

[atomic halo]

yeah

[hoary tundra]

https://tenor.com/view/anime-nerd-emoji-index-finger-pointing-up-erm-kanata-konoe-gif-12713746129480822124

(ill prob do the same since import is off )

[hidden crown]

usefull?
(helmet)

[hoary tundra]

naw

[uncut bay]

make sure you have a lot of ES and you use grim feast and/or meditation

[gloomy basalt]

Whats the minions to play these days? Arsonists still or Snipers/Reavers/frostmage

[uncut bay]

I can look at your build and help you if oyu want. a friend of mine was leveling a blood mage and with my help he was able to finish the campaign

[civic garden]

Thanks! Do I go full ES or es/evasion? I realize my INT is not nearly enough for gears

[uncut bay]

I would probably get a hybrid evasion/ES chest and just ES on the other items. you have some evasion interactions as invoker, so it would suck not to have any

you can pretty much get to 50k ES as invoker

there is a youtuber who demonstrated that it's possible

but yeah it doesn't make sense, too much ES 😄

[civic garden]

haha wow ok

is there any guide you recommend?

I just finished campaign and I don't know where to go from here or how to upgrade my gears and everything just feeling super lost haha

[uncut bay]

for invoker I don't know any guides, I just know that a friend of mine has played invoker for a while and was complaining a lot about dying, he relied on life and evasion

it looks like ES and mana are the best defences in the game rn

after the campaign the main goals are to level up your atlas tree, and I would also start with the breach and delirium trees

and to level up yourself maybe up to 75-78 so you can buy the high level gear and gems

[civic garden]

gotcha! What is the best way to level up in endgame?

[midnight bolt]

Skill issue, invoker is giga tanky can get 20k es and 70% evasion

[carmine flicker]

20k es on invoker is expensive tho

Unless that's with overflow

[midnight bolt]

With overflow

[ember parrot]

Hey, anyone else tried going for cast on block?

The numbers on the skill seem way off compared to what happens ingame

Lightning conduit slotted into cast on block.
Expected behaviour: Lightning Conduit sets the Energy max to 100 (base cast time of 1s, 10 energy per 0.1s base cast time), block should give 250 energy, 2.5 casts per block.
Behaviour ingame: Each block only gives 2%, so either each block gives 2.5 instead of 250 energy or the max energy calculation is off by a factor of 100.

Also, the 2% are with both, 51% increased energy on the skill and 35% more energy from "The Soul Springs Eternal" Ascendency from Invoker.

[crimson wasp]

for invoker monk, do i put iron runes in staff or the ones with 30% elemental dmg? they give me higher dps

[proud sorrel]

Is there any way to get more seals on Unleash support gem?

[spare quartz]

I'm rich

Log in for 20 minutes this morning and rolled a 75 div staff. What do i do with my p conc pathfinder now

Or reroll him to shattering concoction maybe?

guess i should probably buy a speed kit for running breaches

[ember parrot]

There's Seal Gain Frequency in the passive tree, if that helps.

+45% increased frequency

[hybrid ocean]

How exactly do heralds work when dual wielding? Specifically for the purposes of crit chance

[plush basalt]

does overhwelming stike apply to minions?

[marsh bluff]

could somebody share pls some build for witch using only fire spells, without minions

[atomic halo]

does it specify "minions" or "allies"?

if not, no.

[celest blaze]

Fire spells aren't really hot right now, which is why you're likely having a hard time finding a good guide for them. I'd look up a Pyromantic Pact build, perhaps Bonestorm? and see about converting it to fire

Sadly, it will likely just be less good than if you did the same thing with lightning or ice currently

[marsh bluff]

I found this build, but idk about it
https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/profile/f44792ce-f16b-4663-a2f3-a0217a4c1e03/builds/4cfe4550-42e8-4b38-a4dc-2bcdd5967f82?weaponSet=set1#passive-tree-0

[celest blaze]

looks plausiblee to me I dunno

Fireball going through firewall with SRS might be fun

I'd definitely not invest in anything you don't see a video demo of (and keep in mind those have usually just STUPID high levels of gearing)

[static thicket]

Anyone know what specifically damages frost walls? It doesn't seem like all aoe damage does, but projectiles seem to.

[marsh bluff]

lol, here is the video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYzYskv1NBQ

sad

[atomic halo]

lol

[compact stream]

if you're a Gemling, would Clarity stack if you have 2?

[marsh bluff]

I found something better I think https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_N6s5aPq-Q

The BG3 music is playing in the background, I already trust this guy xd

[stable gale]

how do you increase the radius of the tempest bell shockwave?

[atomic halo]

increased/more area of effect

increased/more area of effect with attacks

[stable gale]

hmmm, my buddy has a gemling has a much larger AOE than my invokers, even if i'm using magnified effect. he doesn't use mag effect at all

[atomic halo]

pillar

has aoe per int

[stable gale]

ahhh got it

thank you

[waxen jewel]

Is damage luckyness checked pre or post conversion?

I mean, is the actual damage rolled or or is the minimum and maximum converted and only then rolled?

Matters a lot for this

[drifting lance]

Can someone please share with me a build of ice monk?

[atomic halo]

on hit

so post conversion

[waxen jewel]

Okay nice

Because everything is converted

I mean, every skill I've looked at

[hybrid ocean]

Hey, is this not supposed to be anointable?

[atomic halo]

it should be

i guess it's an oversight

if there's no anoint combination

but there's no reason why that specific notable wouldnt be supposed to get an anoint

[silver anvil]

How does overleech work, is it the same as in poe1? For some reason it doesn't feel like I'm leeching when I hit things while at full hp

Made a bloodmage thinking that overleech would solve small hits

But now I feel like I need to lose some damage to get defenses against smaller instances of damage because overleech doesn't seem to be working out as I expected

[thorny token]

leech duration in poe2 is only 1 second

[silver anvil]

Anyway to increase it?

[thorny token]

there is stuff like savoured blood i guess

[cedar charm]

If you have a skill that drops remnants, can your party members pick them up and use them or only you?

[static thicket]

only you

[open ocean]

how high should my bleed chance be ? i do 1 hit per sec

[hasty vale]

Does anyone know if the doubled value of inherit bonuses of attributes from gemling legionnaire applies to the Heroic Timeless jewel keystones?

[tawdry prism]

guys, im playing a monk invoker, and i had unbound avatar (the ascension skill) equipped, and i had three support gems in that spell. I now refunded and respeced away from that skill.

So obviously the skill is not longer in my skill tree, but i forgot to remove the support gems. DId those get destroyed or where did they go?

[wicked tiger]

Did you try putting back unbound avatar? They still might be there

[tawdry prism]

no i didnt, i might have to spend the gold to do that and check

but wanted to ask before i refunded 3 times

[wicked tiger]

Gold is easy to come by, don’t worry about it

[tawdry prism]

okay cool, ty

let me check

nope, just put it back ,the gems are gone

oh no

they were x3 lvl 3 support gems

[wicked tiger]

Those are also very easy to come by don’t sweat those

[spice abyss]

can someone help me understand why the soul core of azcapa isnt giving me more available spirit? I put it in my second socket on helm.

[hasty vale]

Cause it gives rarity when put in armour slots and spirit when put in martial weapon slots

[spice abyss]

Thanks, didnt realise they where an OR mechanic.

[hasty vale]

All the soul cores and runes have different properties depending on whether it’s slotted in Armour or martial weapons 😃

[ornate jacinth]

Hi everyone, I am having an hard time committing to a class, I have about 20-30 divines but there is not a build that I feel comfortable or happy with enough to invest the divines. What class and builds do you reccomend trying and could have a endgame do all set up with 30 divines?

[white maple]

Hey is it possible to make any skill usable as my main source of DMG? Like let's say I wanna make a flash bang grenade build

[wicked tiger]

You can do whatever you want, but you’ll have varying levels of success, you can look online for build guides as a gauge for how effective certain skills are

[sharp arrow]

On sites with builds on them are 'levelling' builds only meant to get through the campaign and 'endgame' builds meant to be able to run maps? Or can levelling builds run maps too?

[wicked tiger]

They can probably run lower level maps

But they’ll fall off once you get to higher levels

[sharp arrow]

Ok that makes sense. So they're more to just get the divines for an actual Endgame build? Also, would low be considered 1-10 for the tier?

[wicked tiger]

More like exalts and yeah

[dusty sage]

hello

can someone help me with pob ?

i put every gear and passive nodes

but in pob i have -5 to all attribute

[distant solar]

did you pick all attributes as the quest reward from cruel a3 venom crypt?

[rancid cipher]

Can you level up a corrupted skill gem?

[dusty sage]

i think yes

yayaa i definitely pick that

one more thing

in pob it say my spark is 98k while ingame is only 80k

[distant solar]

yes

[rancid cipher]

Ok, so the only downside is that you can't add sockets or quality?

[distant solar]

you need to set that separately in the config section of POB in the quest rewards section

[distant solar]

if you look at the Calcs page, the skill details box near the top should show if theres things like curses affecting the calculations, which is something in-game tooltip wouldnt take into account

[dusty sage]

so i checked that

i turn off everything else except spark

in game 19.7k and in pob 26.5k

[distant solar]

I can take a look, share you POB link

[dusty sage]

okay

one thing i see is my cast speed is incorrect

buy i send u the link

1 sec

https://pobb.in/KIwwt0VgLu9J

my spark now

[distant solar]

calcs page has enemy stats set to level 84 guardian pinnacle boss, and it shows conductivity being applied

I do see the 98k in pob with that off, but not sure what else may be affecting it

[dusty sage]

yeah i see that too

[distant solar]

your POB cast speed is higher for some reason

which you did mention

[dusty sage]

yeah

[distant solar]

whats your cast speed on each weapon set? it looks like you have split trees, so maybe pob cant differentiate the actual node calculations for tree swaps

[dusty sage]

both is the same speed

[dusty sage]

like this

[distant solar]

interesting, you'd think they wouldnt be the same on tree swap because you have cast speed nodes that are only on one tree

[dusty sage]

i changed to my 2nd set

it didnt changed

maybe bcs the skill is on set 1 ?

.24s if use on weapon set 2

[dusty sage]

okay i know where that extra damage come from

its from amulet annoint lightning rod

[distant solar]

oh does in game not reflect that annoint?

[dusty sage]

yeah nope

i remove it

it became close to my spark dps

around 76k

[distant solar]

thats good to know actually

[dusty sage]

so i remove few shield node

spark dps is 98k

• annoint it should be around 122k

thanks for the help

[distant solar]

haha glad you got it sorted

[urban vessel]

anybody know how i can add time-lost jewels into poe2 path of building?

[scenic pivot]

why would my minions need dexterity other than accuracy, any ideas ?

talking about "dead can dance" on passive tree

[uncut bay]

stats are just there, it doesn't mean you need them in some build

[uncut bay]

don't use energy shield if you have archmage

[signal copper]

do spectral ward and bestial skin work together? or does the increaed evasion not apply in a way that procs spectral ward?

[terse haven]

Busy making a build with 2 mings rings and the ingenuity belt. Because I am losing a metric shi ton of global defenses and health I figured I'll use my mana as my hp and get energy shield gear to convert energy shield into more mana. I am using chayula monk with instant mana leech in order to attempt to sustain my mana bar.

Issue is however i am currently a bow build and because my belt and rings are unique I am on a very tight stat budget and struggle to get enough intellect and mana in order to have a large mana bar. Any advice on this build? I basically can't use traditional defense other than mana because of the nearly 80-90% less global defenses from mings + ing belt

[uncut bay]

get the morior chest with mana and attributes, jewels with 10 intelligence, against the darkness with 4% intelligence

I have tried mapping with 6k mana and it felt fine most of the time, I died a few times though

I think around 10k mana is comfortable for maps

if you can't get at least 6k mana I wouldn't do it

[terse haven]

Did you also do a chayula mana leech build with mings?

[uncut bay]

no, I have a barrier invocation infernalist with one ming ring

but I have done 3 builds with mana as the sole defence so far

not your build though

[terse haven]

I'm on my way home now and will look at morior. I kinda wonder if I should rather do a full int build. Using a bow is making this so complicated. I wanted to use poison but it's causing me to spread very thin and I think the mana leech effects aren't that good anyway

[uncut bay]

obviously an archmage build with the mana shield and a wand would be better

but you have an interesting build idea, why not try it out

[jovial blade]

anyone knows what the best % rarity before diminishing returns really kicks in?

[uncut bay]

but then you wouldn't need ming rings, you would go for rings with intelligence

[uncut bay]

so anything above 200% rarity just doesn't make sense

[terse haven]

Yeah look I've done all the meta stuff by now. I'm doing theme/passion builds at the moment. 600hours later and having every ascendancy at maps

[uncut bay]

150% rarity is where I would stop personally

have you tried barrier invocation infernalist?

[terse haven]

Especially fun when using none meta items that content creators haven't spotlighted yet

[uncut bay]

every ascendancy is mad impressive

[terse haven]

Yeah the other day when we spoke about it I made one to see how it works so I can use similar mechanics on an ignite trigger build

[terse haven]

Thanks man!

[uncut bay]

alright

[terse haven]

Anyhoow will check morior and if it's still too tight I might just try and do a int only version

[polar anvil]

On crossbows is it better to have iron runes or the soul core for atk speed?

[old shuttle]

If you get too many attack per second you’ll brick your DPS

and if you attack enough flat dmg may be better.

Pob is your best friend

[dusty wagon]

Can someone explain how the second weapon slots work to me

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/hammer-of-the-gods-titan-build-guide

in this, they have red and green lines for diffeeent skills based on weapons and I can’t wrap my head around it

[old shuttle]

How much poe2 experience do you have?

[dusty wagon]

Little I’d say

I’m on act 2 cruel but first time playing any POE!

[old shuttle]

If you press P you’ll see in the top right a number that’s roughly 18ish by now

And you can see in your invent a I and an II above your weapon. You can have two weapon sets

And this lets you juggle around some levels, letting you pivot a decent chunk.

[dusty wagon]

I’m on console, what does P do for you and I’ll then know the alt for control

So with a second weapon set - will skill tree items I add to it only work if I use that second hand set, and how do I use it? (Sorry haha I’ve literally just used a hammer this whole time )

[old shuttle]

Passive skill tree is P

[dusty wagon]

Gotcha!

[old shuttle]

And yea pretty much. Best to try it a bit yourself

[dusty wagon]

I’ll have a play!

So in this build for example where the sklll tree has red and green lines, does that mean they’d only be active when I’m using that weapon slot in game?

[shell isle]

Is controlled methamorphis useless if it is vaaled and doesn't have radius affix?

[old shuttle]

Yes

[old shuttle]

Yes

[shell isle]

thx

[fading agate]

does anyone here have a molten blast deadeye build for me?

[uncut bay]

I hear people say this and I installed pob on my PC and couldn't figure out what to use it for. first of all, I would spend so much time filling out all the information about my character, but even if I did it, what would I get from it?

[old shuttle]

It’s mostly best to just compare “what ups my dps/hp/whatever more. This node or this node”

It lets you have a much better actual comparison

[uncut bay]

hm alright thanks

[hollow dock]

Does Allies include yourself?

answer is no

sly

[open ocean]

how high should my bleed chance be if i do 1 cast per sec ?

[drifting cipher]

How much is this worth?

[uncut bay]

maybe 10 exalts

[drifting cipher]

Alr lmao

[gaunt stump]

for what build i could use this hammer?

[old shuttle]

Totems or hammer of the gods idk

[oak flame]

Not for Totems, the nice physical damage roll would be wasted as it doesn't take the stats from the wepon besides the +7 level of all melee skills

[old shuttle]

True

[silver sigil]

Question, does Cast on X, respect the cooldown of the skill ?

[old shuttle]

I think they cannot cast cool-down skills

[silver sigil]

i mean, comet has 1sec CD

[old shuttle]

I believe it states “+1 cast time when self cast” or something of the sorts

[silver sigil]

oh

nope, it doesnt mention the "self cast" part

[old shuttle]

Hmm weird, coulda sworn it says something like that

[silver sigil]

"+1 second to total cast time" thats the wording, i will test once i reach the level to equip it

[azure wyvern]

are unarmed attacks so powerful devs had to add reduced dmg for their passives?

[lament dirge]

Stampede/hotg warrior that would be juicy

Perfect for 2x of those on switch to drop hammer

[uncut bay]

cast speed, not skill cooldown

comet has a long cast speed

[boreal orchid]

if i shoot through firewall, then the enemny ignited, does it count as im the one who ignited the enemy and this passive will trigger?

[waxen jewel]

If it didn't count I would file a bug

[dawn spire]

Depends on how long your bleed is and the minimum average uptime of the bleed you want to have

[boreal orchid]

just curious, because ignite from projectile through firewall is not counted as energy on cast on ignite

[dawn spire]

Cast time*

[dawn spire]

The ignite is so small that it likely doesn't add much energy, if any

Assuming your projectile isn't doing fire damage itself

[dawn spire]

It's not just for unarmed. There are lots of notables with a downside in the poe2 tree

[uncut bay]

thanks

[waxen jewel]

Yeah, I'm a curious person too nothing wrong with it, just saying that I as a player would feel cheated if that didn't work

It's your projectile that you enchant with your wall

[waxen jewel]

Ohh, are you sure it isn't? Because I heard that they reworked Cast on Ignite and Cast on Critical in a way that the energy is dependent on the damage

[boreal orchid]

thanks

[waxen jewel]

So solely flame wall, even though it ignites 100% would give very little energy

They reworked it specifically for this spell IIRC

[boreal orchid]

i think its caused by as what byron said

[waxen jewel]

Yeah exactly. But it's not super intuitive. I'd first think that it's just a binary check, but it scales with damage now

But they didn't do that for Cast on Shock though. And probably not for cast on freeze either (but this is just a guess)

[dawn spire]

specifically ignite magnitude (And I think enemy power?)

[waxen jewel]

At least CoC works like that

There's now 2 parameters that affect the base energy gain

[serene plume]

Hello, i'm a build maker, specialized in the Spark / barrier invocation builds for witch. I buy all pieces of stuff, make a pob, fill the passive tree as your convenience and can follow all yours requirements for the build. Send me a pm if you have asks or just for see what the build looks like. (130 divines minimum).

[waxen jewel]

It's pretty funny, it seems like it's just copy pasted from Cast on Ignite to Cast on Critical. And now CoC refers to ailment threshold which doesn't make too much sense...

Honestly kinda wish they'll some of the ailments all together. It's bit of an unintuitive mess right know. It should be obvious how ailments are applied in basic cases

[dawn spire]

all enemies have an ailment threshold. It's a better threshold to base those on than enemy max health. It's so lower damage stuff can still apply effects to bosses

[waxen jewel]

I'm aware of the system now, I've build multiple tables

[dawn spire]

so what else could they base it on?

[waxen jewel]

There's nothing wrong with ailment thresshold. That's just another hp bar, but for ailments

I was just critisizing how convoluted and honestly, arbitrary the system is now. I can handle it just fine though

[dawn spire]

convoluted compared to the old version where it just gave the same energy regardless of the damage/target?

[waxen jewel]

I wasn't even talking about CoC...

Just made a little remark about the state of ailments, yeah.

[dawn spire]

you said, "CoC refers to ailment threshold which doesn't make too much sense"

[waxen jewel]

So yeah, now that I think about it, even though it doesn't make much sense (because no element is involved in critting), it makes sense to have it that way rather than invent another arbitrary thresshold. One thing they could've done though is scale it based on the ratio of non-crit damage to crit-damage

But yeah, you have a point, and I concede

[open ocean]

i dont mind if its on base duration

[coral walrus]

Hey guys
Im still getting damaged from blood pools while running Chaos Inoculation.
What I am missing here?

[waxen jewel]

Aren't those physical damage?

[coral walrus]

I thought it was chaos damage

[dawn spire]

blood pools are almost always physical damage over time

you're immune to chaos damage and bleeds

those pools are neither

[haughty wadi]

how to build lightning staff without stacking attributes

can't find guides that don't say go howa and/or pillar

[dawn spire]

damage, attack speed, crit, shock, the usual
