[tardy karma]

anyone got a good lightning monk build i can use thats like not extremely expensive

[dawn spire]

What is the exact text difference you're comparing?

I reread it and it sounds like the attack speed corruption is a 3% increase to the weapon's base attack speed. I don't think Potcg has any other attack speed on it. If that's the case, then 3% inc base attack speed would translate to exactly 3% more dps

[pastel garden]

Does Unearth and the skeletal scarabs just fall off in endgame? I'm surprised to find literally 0 guides use them.

[covert fossil]

You can make them work with sacrifice but ofc there’s a drastic dps loss if there’s no corpses to use IE during some boss fights

[pastel garden]

yeah ive been using them with Minion Instability & Infernal Legion but the ui's not great at giving me metrics to see if it's effective

[covert fossil]

No they have a lower hp pool relative to the skeletal minions

They do low dmg and have lower hp but is compensated for by how many you can summon quickly

[main bison]

Does it ever make sense to get gear with more energy shield but less resistances, to the point where resistances might not be capped. Pob says it would increase my effective health pool but it seems like the wrong move

[lavish jolt]

can someone help me with my build i am really struggling i am level 88 ice shoot.

[restive dirge]

Man PoE 2 building can get crazy

[restive mortar]

and then theres me nearly fit whole build on 1 screen

[restive dirge]

best to work on a swap set when you can, more power

[silent plinth]

Heya, I'm trying to find a body armour that gives me 720 ES so I can get enough spirit to run every buff I want. I'm searching on POE2 trade and I see two values, the top and bottom one. Which one is the actual value ?

[restive dirge]

bottom after quality +20%

[silent plinth]

Ohhh so its blue because it does not have quality ?

[restive dirge]

yes and u can see the chest doesnt have quality

[fringe chasm]

Anyone got any builds for sorceress that isn’t spark?

[carmine flicker]

any ideas what spell to use on max block warbringer?
currently using sunder totems, but ehh
my soul want spellcasting

[tacit tinsel]

Hello guys any good build for deadeye end game

[vague ravine]

multiple

[pastel garden]

does increased item rarity reduce my odds of getting high-value chance'able whites?

[odd charm]

Will this go any higher?

[raw prism]

you can get much higher using a widowhail, +2 to projectiles quiver, and +quiver jewels with the adorned

32 would be very doable

300% widowhail + 80% from skill tree by itself is +9 instead of +7

33 with major investment

if you get a quiver with +projectile speed your sparks will fly crazy fast, and if you get the quiver with pierce base, your sparks will pierce 6 enemies

[dull shadow]

Alot higher yes the max for stormweaver is 38

[odd charm]

I’m infernalest

[dull shadow]

I believe you can get the same amount

[raw prism]

demon form can't use weapons

it's why demon form turns to the memey barrier invocation builds instead for endgame scaling

[odd charm]

I’m not using demon form

[raw prism]

then same cap should apply

[odd charm]

Idk what I’m doing wrong? I can’t get me dps up that high

[bright path]

Could anyone help me find jewels with resistance/enegy shield? I attempted a couple Stat filters and only found some uniques with negative to all res

[plain temple]

Hi everyone! Can someone answer a question for me, please? I can't find a good answer online.
I'm doing the Tempest Acolyte Monk build

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/profile/4e6b1942-ff4a-4d41-bb3e-3316d45e884e/builds/2010d08c-807d-47b2-8c68-978782abdd1e

And there are so many skills on there that require spirit with no explanation of where to get that much spirit. Does anyone run a Tempest Acolyte that knows how this is pulled off? Thank you in advance

[leaden salmon]

Did you read the text?

Or look at the video

[plain temple]

The only thing it says is the amulet for 50 spirit

[leaden salmon]

Spirit on Chest

[leaden salmon]

Those are probably just placeholders

There is a video in the guide

[plain temple]

Ok. At 6 skills @ 30 spirit per, that 110 isn't gonna cover it

[leaden salmon]

Often you Turn off/on some depending if you are mapping or bossing

I recommend you watch the video.

Or research if the guide you are following is actually working

[plain temple]

👍

[heady garnet]

does necrotic talisman also apply to the instilled notable?

[leaden salmon]

CastOnShock: 60
Herald of Ice: 30
Combat Frenzy: 30
Grim Feast: 30
Wind Dancer: 30
Herald of Thunder: 30

60+30+30+30+30+30 = 210

Chest 61 + 50 Amulet + 100 from campaign

= 211 Spirit @plain temple

Apparently you the 3 support gems in Into The Breach dont take Spirit.

So if you get a Body Armour with 60, Amulet 50. Then you gucci

Costs 450 Div 🤣

[compact stream]

i sold a chest that gave 280 spirit

it was around 1400 evasion and 500 es

i was desperate

only sold for 35div

[leaden salmon]

No chest gives 280 spirit?

At least not a rare one? Was it an Unique?

[hybrid ocean]

He was playing Invoker

They have a node that gives spirit based on the evasion and ES on your chest piece

[leaden salmon]

Yeah okay. Thats not the same as 280 spirit on the chest 😄

[compact stream]

you know your classes well

[plain temple]

Lol Gucci I am not with this. I don't remember getting anything but 30 in act 1, never saw any spirit after that

[compact stream]

#poe-2-stuff message

you should be able to go back and complete what you missed

[proud prawn]

Can anyone help me about monk and mercenary (maybe ranger)? Those are the classes I want to choose of, but don't know which has the best survivability/damage?

[plain temple]

Merc over all, Monk struggles at first and then it rolls if you do it right

[proud sorrel]

If I have 30% crit on a skill, and I socket Ambush (100% increase crit on enemies at full health) and I anoint my amulet with Leaping Ambush (100% increase crit on enemies at full health) thats 120% crit chance on full health enemies right?

[wicked tiger]

I think that would be 90%, cause it goes off of the base

[hybrid ocean]

Ambush is more, Leaping Ambush is increased.

So it depends on the base crit of the spell. If it was 15%, then you'll add 100% of that to the 30, and then double that because of Ambush Support.
So ( .3 + .15 ) * 2 = .9

[vivid dome]

i dont suppose there's an xbow that fires more projectiles is there?

[hybrid ocean]

Or in short, what the other guy said.

[hybrid ocean]

For grenade skills yes, for ammunition skills no.

Only way to achieve the latter is to be a deadeye

[vivid dome]

Hmm. Okie doke, thank you!

Split Shot has an additional projectile while forking too

[autumn walrus]

i think i have a problem

[late fiber]

Should I make monk or gemling for next character? Tired of spark sorc not working

[plain temple]

Monk

[cold stream]

can someone help me with my monk flicker build? I cant seem to proc orbs of power

[plain temple]

Flicker Acolyte has been awesome

Well, Tempest Acolyte now

Imo

[hidden isle]

Any news if they gonna fix the raging spirit fireball lag bug?

[sage light]

Is it possible to get gemling legionnare stat stacking going on a 10 div budget? I already have howas, 2 decent rings, ingenuity belt. I have mained a spark sorcerer and its very strong im wondering if I can get the gemling to a similar power level on the budget i mentioend

[brisk pawn]

how can i get my max life 300<, im currently sitting at 472 with mings heart and ghostwrithe. idk how i can get it any lower either

[sage light]

chaos innoculation

[timber dune]

Sup, first character, came from POE1, which starter build is absolute BANGER right now?

[brisk pawn]

and 40 strenght, one gear piece with +19 life. idk how else to go lower

[sage light]

spark sorcerer is the meta now. I have one that is geared quite well and it destroys everything in game

making a new character cause its actually too good lol

[timber dune]

Nice, thanks

[sage light]

other two worth mentioning is gemling legionnare and invoker ascendencies

[carmine flicker]

if you are poor af then summoner work with zero gear as first char

[timber dune]

is there any path of building yet?

[sage light]

yes

[timber dune]

where can I get it?

[leaden salmon]

Its been out for 2 weeks

Google path of building

[timber dune]

Started today XD

[sage light]

https://github.com/PathOfBuildingCommunity/PathOfBuilding-PoE2/releases

[timber dune]

Thx

[timber dune]

Thx²

[sage light]

np. you can't import character yet but you can copy+paste your gear and manually set your passive tree doesnt take too long

[random vale]

Hello if i have 85% evasion should i invest for acrobatics?

Ranger build btw

[wicked tiger]

is anyone's POB attack per second correct? I can't seem to get it to show the same amount as it shows in game

[elfin magnet]

So I have a stormweaver and I got some divs to spend, but I have no idea what gear to get, I want to stack as mana mana as possible and ES with CI. I im afraid to spend too much in one items, or few items that wouldnt work. Any tips?

[wicked tiger]

good rule of thumb is 70% evade after you take acrobatics

[random vale]

Not too worried about dps but the survival is starting to toughen up

Got only like 7% armor nd full evasion

[hybrid ocean]

Does anyone know if there's a hard projectile speed cap?

[sterile sparrow]

Trying to find a good build for my 73 stormweaver sorc. Pretty low level gear right now. Have a couple div to spend on upgrades and not sure which way to go in terms of build

[fresh geyser]

Do you put a waystone into a realm gate? if so what modifers should I focus?

[spring prairie]

waystones go into map nodes not realm gates

[fresh geyser]

The menu looks very similar to the node menu so you can understand the confusion, so I'm assuming you just put a simulacrum in and go in, correct?

[scarlet gorge]

any pinnacle fight

simulcrum, audience with a king, breachstones

[dense mica]

Which of these is better?(asking cause ive only got 30 spirit rn and im using mana rem so if i equip this then i can use clarity which is 30% mana regen for my mind over matter)

[obsidian horizon]

if anyone is interested in darkness chaluya monk build -- no HOWA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4Fr4mzaoCQ&pp=ygUIY2xvbGRwb2U%3D

[analog monolith]

Gain Damage as Extra Fire Damage or Cold from Against the Darkness works to set elemental ailments (ignite, chill and freeze) to get 30% more on tempest bell??

[obsidian horizon]

cold more expensive but would prob be better too imo

[analog monolith]

better than a small flat on rings for example?

[atomic halo]

yeah (but overkill, as mentioned)

[obsidian horizon]

depends on the set up id assume. nodes you will get matter a ton but id get 4% extra fire + 4%extra something else too

since fire cheaapest rn

[analog monolith]

yeah that the plan, because I'm struggling to find a decent ring with it right now
@atomic halo

[obsidian horizon]

since its extra damage its added after your calcs im pretty sure

[atomic halo]

after flat before inc/more

[obsidian horizon]

so get whatever elements would heelp your combo best if you getting it

[obsidian horizon]

good to know

so its pretty much flat

[analog monolith]

nice so I will get one fire or cold which is cheaper and get the ring with the other

[obsidian horizon]

prob

fire lightning or chaos

if you had to get one

cold just really up there

last i checked

[analog monolith]

nice thanks @obsidian horizon and @atomic halo

[obsidian horizon]

any 2 of those 3 i think could work

[hybrid echo]

yall whats the best leveling build for merc ? like what types of uqis are good ?

[atomic halo]

pillar stat stacking

esp for monk

[obsidian horizon]

i heard crossbow feeling good

[true spire]

whats a good spark guide to follow?

[obsidian horizon]

id check mobalytics and find one for your current spot in game

[sharp thorn]

Crossbow or quarterstaff. Crossbows don't feel in the lategame as good as other weapons, so this will require substantial respec. If you use quarterstaff on gemling merc, you will find yourself making early game version of your lategame build, this is safer option right now.

[small anvil]

Having leveled x2 mercs, 1 wh, other gemling, I can say having a strong xbow through campaign is just the one thing you need. Galv is pretty strong by itself. The unique xbow can take you to mid 20s or so. Having the 100% bolt thing is very powerful at low levels. Shockburst at 41, using a bow as 2nd weapon with stormcaller makes bosses easy at 41+

Skilltree and gems are a big factor too, can obviously just path wrong or use bad gems

[hybrid echo]

lowkey this build is kinda cracked https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nUO0dTOJ4k&t=127s&ab_channel=dslily

[small anvil]

LA has always been strong. Orb and rods makes bosses die fast

[craggy sequoia]

Any good tanky sorc build for HC SSF?

[twin sierra]

spark stormweaver

it can be painful on fresh start though

[craggy sequoia]

whitch might be better for start?

[twin sierra]

witch? probably yeah

can go minions or even DD bloodmage maybe

[tall bear]

hello there, I am using skeletal asrsonist, do they get bonus for stats in scepter like accuracy rating or attack speed?

[glossy kiln]

attack speed is good means more bombs but i dont think accuracy is that big u have much better options cuz they are throwing bombs that has area eff

[terse haven]

Anyone figured out how to self chilld for Sierran Inheritance Marabout Garb yet?

[robust dagger]

What’s the meta for tempor blink sorc?

I can’t find the build for it

[glossy kiln]

quick question how much int does lvl 20 skill gem skeleton mage require?

[terse haven]

There a way to convert energy shield or health into damage? Other than barrier invocation

Closest thing I can think of is this and then the focus that gives more damage per spirit but not exactly what I am looking for. More specifically I am wondering if blood mage with its massive hp especially if I take that node that adds extra hp from your body armor energy shield.

[lean patio]

can u activate rising tempest with gain as extra cold?

[austere root]

does someone have a good started monk invoker build to recommend me please 🙂

[pale hatch]

You can convert energy shield to mana with Eldritch Battery and use that mana to deal more damage.
Idk if it's actually viable.

[trim swan]

Does a pure mana Sparmage need Energyshield on the amulet ? it doesnt affect my mana or ?

[ember hedge]

Guys how do you play trickster with intelligence ? What are the cool options ?

Im starting a selfmade build but I would like some suggestions

[twin orbit]

guys which effect yall like more lol?

[restive mortar]

trickster isn't in the game yet, do you mean poe1?

[ember hedge]

Oh sorry

Poe1 yes I wrote in wrong place

Can you tag me somewhere and answer me if by any chance you have answers ? @restive mortar

[restive mortar]

I don't

I play poe2

[ember hedge]

Okok

[dawn spire]

If you use eldritch battery, then global %increased energy shield (like on amulets) is useless (unless you have something to give you es like everlasting gaze or ghostwrithe). Flat energy shield or local %increased energy shield on ES items, though, would contribute to your mana

[dawn spire]

#1┃build-planning, but locus mine trickster with something that gives added damage based on int is pretty neat

[dawn spire]

#2┃general might be better. This is a build planning channel

[dawn bronze]

What -cd tempo do i need for blink spam with ingenuity support?

[west trail]

Does the Inspiration support do anything with CoC?

[verbal sundial]

whats the name of tool/extension that shows you the sum of dmg on accessories/wands etc

[kindred barn]

Does "Gain (20-30)% of Maximum Mana as Extra Maximum Energy Shield" work if I have eldritch battery?

And if so how exactly?

[strong frost]

what should I upgrade next? https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/hv28f05u

[dawn bronze]

So

i have

3.4CD on blink

-30% off ingenutiy

is 2.38

so i need 2.4 temporialis

or..?

[proven dragon]

So, for pure es ci it makes no sense to change this armor, right?

or should I spend few divs on armor with 1000+ es?

[clear sluice]

Does the increased stun duration exist outside weapon suffix?

[fringe lagoon]

It works, it is applied after EB

[plain yacht]

is it documented somewhere that life recovery rate is NOT multiplicative in poe2?

[steady loom]

is cast on shock worth it to corrupt to level 21?

[clear sluice]

Does stun have a magnitude?

Or similar

Something that could scale the duration

[dawn spire]

It lowers the cost of the spells when they get triggered

[dawn spire]

I think it just gets more energy generation. Idk if that's worth to you

[dawn spire]

Not to my knowledge. As far as I know it's only stun threshold. Different bosses have different heavy stun durations

[dawn spire]

Multiplicative with what? Increased life regeneration, for example, would scale multiplicatively with increased life recovery since they're two different stats

[plain yacht]

Yes, with increased life regen. The 15% life recovery node on tree is additive with life regeneration right now

[dawn spire]

It is? That's wild

Can you show me your numbers?

[plain yacht]

The node may be hitting life regen and recovery may still be correct

Yes, one sec

[clear sluice]

Ye what found so far also

[plain yacht]

should be 49/sec

but if we use 1.75 and assumed hale heart is being additive it is 46.55

in game i'm at 46.6, i assume it is rounding

[dawn spire]

If you un allocate hale heart, what is your regen?

[plain yacht]

42.6

[dawn spire]

Yep, definitely additive. Wild

[plain yacht]

so is the node wrong or is life recovery triggered wrong?

i dont know any other recovery sources to try to check

[dawn spire]

There's a mana recovery node, but that's not terribly helpful

[plain yacht]

but now is it worth it to dip that far for these nodes.. hc war life is rough

[dawn spire]

It applies to all forms of life recovery

Leech, life flask, regen, etc

That's the draw

[plain yacht]

should life flask show on tooltip?

[dawn spire]

No

[plain yacht]

is there an easy way to check if its even life recovery or just actually another life regen node?

[dawn spire]

I'm not as my pc, but there might be a stat for it in the character panel. It might change if you remove/add life recovery

For flask recovery *

[plain yacht]

flask life amount modifier doesn't change

[dawn spire]

Check if flask recovery changes in the character panel with/without hale heart

[plain yacht]

but doesn't mean it should

[dawn spire]

In the panel?

[plain yacht]

correct

[dawn spire]

I guess the only way to actually test is to use a flask and see how much it recovers :/

[strong frost]

can anyone advise where to improve on this build? i was looking at maybe adding a cast on crit and dropping blink. https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1336848123842265138

[magic portal]

Hey does anyone have a good guide on which relics to look out for farming sekhemas? I run Max honor res and increase honor but as a evasion deadeye thats not good enough

People were saying lately to use Merchant relics to just get all the boons and not worry about other relics anymore

[dawn spire]

Extra merchant options, lower merchant prices, and extra rooms revealed are all pretty great

movement speed and roll distance also help for the final boss

Max honor is also good

Most things are great tbh

[magic portal]

My problem is the second double boss. Somehow that big slam attack of the ice statue Hits me even though im far away from the attack and have my evasion completely up with wind dancer but it always oneshots me

[fringe lagoon]

+quantity of relic dropped for floor 4 boss

OK guess you don't need to worry about floor 4 boss for now xD

[dawn spire]

Evasion doesn't help with slams

[magic portal]

And since im running the evasion build i dont have es or armor to help me with my honor. With my relics i can go up to about 2.5k which is nothing lmao

[dawn spire]

Okay, so you're not on farm mode yet, I see

[magic portal]

I Managed to kill him a couple times but about 70% he insta kills me

[dawn spire]

I thought you were grinding it for relics and jewels and shit

[fringe lagoon]

Ye

[dawn spire]

Get more life on gear, get capped honor res

[magic portal]

Sadly no but i want to be there lmao

[dawn spire]

Avoid afflictions like the plague

[magic portal]

Is there a reliable way to increase my hp without switching gear? Maybe passive tree?

[magic portal]

Yeah I never take afflictions if i dont have to

[dawn spire]

Nope, passive tree has like no life in it. Aside from str nodes

[magic portal]

Damn

[dawn spire]

2.5k honor sounds like you have very low life

[fringe lagoon]

You can get a lot of strength on passive tree

[dawn spire]

I'd guess you're also missing resistances, too

[magic portal]

I feel so stuck rn. I can't complete most of the shit. Died to jamanra on a citadel twice, cant do sekhemas nor chaos trials

My resistances are all capped

[dawn spire]

What's your life?

[magic portal]

Yeah I have 1.5k life with acrobatics and 72% evasion

[dawn spire]

Holy shit

That's the problem. It sounds like you're actively avoiding life on gear

If you're doing citadels you want at least 2.5k, ideally 3k

[dawn spire]

Did you do all the campaign bonus objectives? The wax guy in the manor gives life

[magic portal]

Yes

If you mean that statue guy

[dawn spire]

Oh, and only 22 str. Oof

Yeah, candlemass I think

[magic portal]

I never looked at their names lmao besides act bosses

I dont even have currency to buy New stuff

[dawn spire]

If you can spare any dex, I'd swap as much as you can over to strength. It would be a start

[magic portal]

I could run maps a couple more times

[dawn spire]

If you can drop chaos res gear for life, I think it would be worth it. You don't need capped chaos res nearly as much as you need more life

[magic portal]

I dont think i can but I could try to swap some nodes. Theres a build from raxx or moxsy i believe that has a similar build as mine

Who Deals Chaos damage?

[clear sluice]

does anyone know how i can craft timelost jewels for pob

[restive mortar]

chaos res literaly useless in sekhemas

so yeah

life good

[safe finch]

does minions do more dmg to a target if its stunned and i've specced that i do more dmg against stunned enemies?

[dawn spire]

Nope. The minion needs that stat, not you

I'd check Maxroll.gg for monk guides

[heavy terrace]

Excuse me, how to I filter for time-lost sapphire with upgrade to large radius status like in the picture? I can only filter for medium.

[ember parrot]

Medium, min affix tier 2

Large is typed as "tier 2 Upgrades Radius to Medium".

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Standard/EDekv3LT5

[dawn spire]

Your weapon is probably the most important factor in scaling dps. That and having 5 sockets on skills. And really good gear in general.

[small urchin]

anyone know the best way to regen shield quickly

besides amulets

[leaden salmon]

Passive tree nodes

Jewels

[plain yacht]

Is there a way to estimate armor/evasion levels based on area level or something? It is difficult to factor in the impact of accuracy

[marble nebula]

take passive nodes for increased regen

[small urchin]

ty guys!

[marble nebula]

there is one in the top right of the witch/sorc passive tree that gives you like 70% increased regen for 20% reduced amount

for the entire thing not just one node

[small urchin]

im playing monk so thats def in my range

[marble nebula]

goodluck sir

[small urchin]

and to you!

[dawn spire]

Temporal rift

[small urchin]

is that a passive?

[inland nebula]

Temporal rift is a chrono asecndancy skill, lets u rewind time

[dawn spire]

It's a skill granted if you're a chronomancer (sorceress ascendancy)

[small urchin]

i dont think my invoker monk can access that

[dawn spire]

They cannot

[small urchin]

but good to know

[potent swift]

Anyone got a good witchunter build? Preferably freeze stuff but grenades are ok too, need some perspective

[plain yacht]

is cast on ignite doing anything?

[inland nebula]

Detonate dead, but its not doing allat much tbh, mostly just helping kill stragglers a teeny bit

It works but im sure there's better

[plain yacht]

i dont ever see it gain energy in that clip

[inland nebula]

You can see the detonate dead explosions happen every pack lol

The explosions after the magma blast = DD

[spring nexus]

could somone send me a build planner to monk from 0 to endgame? new to monk here

[dawn spire]

Check out Maxroll.gg for monk guides

[spring nexus]

idk which is considered good and which is not

[dawn spire]

If it's on maxroll, it's good

At least better than most

[thin thunder]

Anyone know if Apron of Emiran unique is still not working?

[plain yacht]

is it just that your ignites are so big that even a white ignited mob gives 100% energy?

[inland nebula]

Shrugeg

I dont know

All i know is cast on ignite procs DD at least once per pack

DD doesn't do allat much for clear for me at all though regardless

I need better clear

[tired python]

Just to repeat here, I haven't spent any real money on jewels either, just slamming whatever I find with a decent base. But thinking about trading for a good jewel seems a pain

Also not sure if I can just set LA Count to 4 (number of arrows I shoot) cause that would give me big Total DPS in PoB and I don't wanna have false hope

[dawn spire]

If the beams can all somehow chain onto the same enemy, it wouldn't be completely inaccurate

Like, if there were five enemies and you hit four of them with each projectile and the chaining beam all went to the fifth one, you'd do 4x the dps in that scenario

[tired python]

ah ok

i guess i forgot to include the BEam part, unless it already does that?

[dawn spire]

The beam doesn't do anything when you only have one target. So I don't think it would matter

Pob doesn't account for it as far as I'm aware

[tired python]

For tough rares I might put on a lightning rod or two but otherwise I don't need to worr about single target outside of bosses right? I have a different setup for bosses that I'm not too worried about atm.

[dawn spire]

Yeah pretty much

[craggy basin]

1k divs for a mirror?

dang

alot of monyon

[stiff hinge]

Hi guys,
Working on an MF culler witchhunter for the team, does the aoe of the big explode scale with aoe on tree?

[placid meteor]

What is the most reliable way to deal fire elemental damage with a monk? Just roll fire damage as a mod on the quarterstaff?

I tried using some skills from the mage class like fire wall or fire or but they don't seem reliable enough. Since many monk skills convert physical damage into elemental damage probably the best way to go for fire is through weapon mods. Also seems like monks want to proc ailments especially on the bell.

But that seems weird to me that monk doesn't have any fire skills like ice strike, tempest flurry or charged staff which are so good for monks to proc ailments. But yet monk can benefit from fire damage since unbound avatar and elemental expression include fire based effects. I hope more fire skills for monk will be added in future updates.

So how do you reliably incorporate fire damage into your monk build?

[hexed rivet]

three dragons helm with ice strike :)

[placid meteor]

But then I lose out on lightning damage don't I?

[hexed rivet]

well then your lightning does freeze

hard to do pure fire as monk without icestrike and that helm

you would have to just have fire roll on staff thats about it

and spec into elemental damage rather than lighting/cold damage

[craggy basin]

lightning + ice is the right way to go with invoker

idk why you'd want to implement fire

[placid meteor]

Because that's more the idea of an Avatar

Also why would some passives and unbound avatar include fire damage if monk can't really access fire damage as easily as cold and lightning?

[hexed rivet]

i mean it allows you to do fire but the fact of cold working against fire and vice versa makes it hard to do all three

climate change would be a good way to get some fire dmg in there but thats only if they are frozen

[placid meteor]

Mmm I think rolling fire damage on the staff is the better way probably

Herald of ice + thunder is too good to have cold doing fire damage instead

[vagrant knoll]

So I am wanting to go a demon form build.
how much am I going to hate that decision?
Looks like it is easy to die.

[hexed rivet]

sadly thats just how invoker plays

[hexed rivet]

grim feast and ghostwrite tattered robe and youll be fine

[stiff hinge]

Hi guys,
Working on an MF culler witchhunter for the team, does the aoe of the ascendancy explode on kill scale with aoe on tree?

[gusty basalt]

I have a 92 crit invoker rn that does like 250k base tooltip ice strike dps

[dawn spire]

It should, yes. As long as it doesn't specify attacks or spells

[gusty basalt]

Should I convert invoker to stat stack? Or should I move to gemling?

[inland nebula]

Do you have oodles of divines you willingly want to spend?
yes

if not, then just stay ice

[dawn spire]

Assuming you mean you want to deal fire damage with attacks, then yeah, three dragons is a solid way. You can also use fire infusion or added fire damage mods, yeah

[violet yarrow]

Are all the source of increased damage calculated additively? like if I have 100% from source A and 100% from source B it will be 200% increased total

[dawn spire]

Correct

[placid meteor]

What I was trying earlier was to use fire wall or fire orb to proc ignite on the bell since it reflects 30% more damage. But I was noticing that most the times fire wall is cast outside the bell and the orb is randomly placed far away. Proccing cold and shock on the bell is so easy by just attacking it so I figured just whacking the bell with fire damage on the staff is easier and more reliable to proc ignite. I mean definitely more damage than a spell. And more dmg = more chance to proc ailments

[dawn spire]

There are also some boots that create burning ground when you move

You could also try a cast on something setup to use fire spells

[opal plank]

hey, i noticed pob doesnt properly apply or calculate acolyte darkness, is this a planned fix?

nvm i see a patch is already on the way for that

[safe finch]

does chober chaber only increases flat dmg from minions or does it do attack speed or crit too?

[dawn spire]

What does the item say? Can you screenshot it?

[dawn spire]

It's specifically "increases and reductions", so flat damage doesn't work, neither does attack speed

Nor crit

[safe finch]

so only the "minions deal X%more damage" from the tree then?

[dawn spire]

If an item or passive node says "X% increased minion damage" then it's equivalent to "X% increased damage" for you

[dawn spire]

No, it has to say "increased". "More" will not work

[safe finch]

oh yea i meant increased, not more

thats what i thought too, then i dont have to change up my tree 🤠

[lofty quest]

guys im new to the game, im playing ranger with ice shot as primary attack + heralds and lightning rod + orb of storms for bosses, which bow would be better? i see that left has higher dps, but is the level to all projectile skills counted in dps?

[wicked tiger]

careful with projectile skills, it'll make your mana costs go way up

and if you want a more definitive answer, you can try plugging it in to POB

[lofty quest]

what s POB?

oh i see path of building

ok, i ll try that, thank you

[bitter harness]

anyone can confirm if ambush works on tempest bell to trigger cast on crit on near 100% crit chance?

[wicked tiger]

ambush on tempest bell doesn't really make sense does it? you usually hit the bell more than once so you're not really getting good value

[dawn spire]

Are you asking about hitting the bell with ambush support? Or supporting bell with ambush support?

[bitter harness]

the former

example: icestrike with ambush hitting bell

[dawn spire]

I don't know, then. Idk if the bell can count as having full life

Idk if it has life at all

[royal wolf]

Anyone got a link to a build for a chronomancer aura bot??

[drifting apex]

First SSF char, looking for improvements, in particular single target dps. Have little to no currency available
https://maxroll.gg/poe2/pob/1f5wb05e

[teal pollen]

is this worth?

bareing in mind im an ice strike invoker

[tidal carbon]

Anyone got a good stat stacking monk build link ? I know gemling is better but prefer monk

[ember parrot]

All important stats are on it. Added phys, increased phys, increased ele and attackspeed, all over T5.

[ember parrot]

Not sure how good mine is, but my gemling basically already paths next to Monk Spawn, so could also play Shockburst Lightning Warp on a Monk Base.

[woeful sundial]

Any stat stackers run advanced thaumaturgy? Is there anything to it because my mana’s been suffering a tiny bit lately. Damage has been basically overkill for a while so i don’t know if +1 is that necessary

[pliant basalt]

anyone got a fire sorceress stormweaver build

[muted birch]

Do you have maelstrom or a man on kill jewel?

[dawn bronze]

so if i have 3.4 cd on blink and the cast time is 0.7 sec what -#cd on tempo do i need?

2.7?

[woeful sundial]

I have both. I’m perfectly fine mapping, and it’s really just for pinnacles if i go cast on shock. If i don’t go cast on shock it’s fine

[muted birch]

Link me your build

[woeful sundial]

But I’m wondering if switching to it will let me basically not click my flasks lol

I’m on ps5 and ps network is down lol

[muted birch]

wdym?

Are you L2ng on bosses to spam bell?

[woeful sundial]

Huh

[muted birch]

Like holding L2

when you fight bosses?

[woeful sundial]

Is that the strat

Bell on hold L2 R1?

[muted birch]

No like lol

Im asking if you bossing stuff has you holding l2

[woeful sundial]

Nah

I hold r1 for tempest flurry and tap square for bell

[muted birch]

Then maelstrom you should be fine

[woeful sundial]

I am fine

I’m just wondering about autistic level minmaxing that’s why we’re here aren’t we

[muted birch]

Theres a strat where you use like 5 bells all at once bc they stack lol

[muted birch]

I dk what your setup is like but I use the one that lets me copies of gems

With spiriration on flurry the mana issues solved

you could throw inspitration on whatever skill east your mana as well

[woeful sundial]

I shall east it

[raven void]

how do i stack support gems like in this build
https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/7o45p0zf

[olive compass]

Anyone here tried supercharged slam build after the nerf?

[olive compass]

"Gem studded" ascendency node

[raven void]

thanks i am just dumb

[spiral moth]

Tempest Flurry Gemling was using Cast on Shock + EoW for boss killing but that was "fixed" in the last patch
Is there some other/new bossing tech for the build?

[pearl sluice]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/6ib9x036 I am following Rax guide for Ice Strike Monk leveling, I am in act 3, my buddy even gave me a bunch of twink gear and gems. So I am in good shape or so I thought, at the end of act 3 and I am just getting clobbered by ranged mobs. I die so fast. Not sure what to do.

[wicked tiger]

how much ES and evasion do you have?

[pearl sluice]

2k evasion, not much energy shield

[wicked tiger]

and how much evasion chance does that come out to?

[pearl sluice]

75% or something

[wicked tiger]

what about your resists?

[hybrid ocean]

Man, if only giant's blood let you run crossbows or staves with shields

[timid lava]

I could use some advice; for spark users who running the everlasting gaze, what’s the best passive skill you want to have? I can’t decide if it’s arcane intensity? Lighting rod? Or something completely different 🥹

[distant solar]

Nothing wrong with the tech. You still fire off eye of winter when you shock bosses

[next rivet]

as a rarity bot should I take 25% stun threshold, 30% elemental ailment threshold or 25% mana regen?

[vast veldt]

ailment probly

[next rivet]

alright

[crisp star]

how exactly does cast speed affect greater lightning bolt? i thought it only relied on cooldown rate? but somehow when i get more cast speed it also increases in DPS in the sheet despite not needing cast rate

[minor bone]

could someone help me make my build better ill pay 1 div for the help

[hybrid ocean]

Does anyone know if Trampletoe damage can crit?

[eager gazelle]

Good day boyos, anyone around here has an OP Bonestorm Blood Mage build by any chance? Thanks ^^

[heady garnet]

does infernal flame instantly kill you if youre using chaos innoculation?

[arctic rapids]

any deadeye mains able to help me with my build

[storm willow]

this thing gives me 20% strength, or if the item requires 100 intelligecne, converts 20% to strength requirements? the second one right?

[spiral moth]

Previously you would also generate energy from hitting Bell, so IT should Be significantly nerfed, no?

[crisp star]

Does cast speed actually interact with choir's Greater lightning bolt at all? or is this just fluff? cause i'm seeing it's DPS sheet go up if i get cast speed but it's mainly held back by cd afaik. do i need to actually reach the cooldown time with the cast speed before cooldown would matter?

[past kindle]

think its only affected by cdr since its a conditional proc and not self cast

[late nest]

Which contributes to a better DPS? Gain % as Extra Element Damage OR % increased Element damage??

[restive mortar]

it depends on your other scaling but usually gain extra is more

[narrow anchor]

How do builds that have a truckload of triggers sustain their mana?

[leaden moth]

This is my build, self made was wondering if I could optimize it somehow. The only current problem is slight mana problems, and survivability, need like 20% more eHP to feel good (not be in OS range kind of). All my gear is basically %rarity (197%, 30 ish to all resists except lightning at 75%). Probably need a lot more crit chance (38% crit chance, 226% crit damage rip) but damage is still super high against bosses and PvE (I think?, bosses die in like 25 secs, mobs die once I get one corpse and rares take like 5-10 seconds depending on modifiers)

[distant solar]

It didnt take me longer to kill t4 xesht pre and post patch

[quartz cairn]

Does mapping without Polcelkirn feel a lot worse on Ice Strike Invoker? Dont know if I want to invest in an expensive ring when that would be the one I'd have to swap out.

[whole drift]

Whats a gud n fun shield build?

[narrow anchor]

I can think of 2

Well, 1 really

[whole drift]

Oooo wut izit?

[narrow anchor]

Look up Magma Barrier on builds on youtube

Other builds I think of use a shield but moreso as a defensive tool

[whole drift]

Icic

What about attack speed barbarians, just wanna try smthg w em or make em tanky

[narrow anchor]

You're not going to see a high attack speed "barbarian" until they releases axes and the marauder class

You can get something like it though

PotC Gemling

[whole drift]

Im just very interested w shield charge since it reminds me on the crusader horse charge ability in diablo 3 i think

[whole drift]

Will look at it

Thanks

[safe barn]

Is there any deadeye ranger that can look at my build and tell me what I need to do to further my dps

Sitting at 67-68k unbuffed DPS.

[narrow anchor]

Are you shocking?

[hybrid ocean]

Eh, molten blast works well with high attack speed

olrovasara in particular

[tribal hound]

is temporalis silk robe a global drop?

[vast veldt]

https://poe2db.tw/us/The_Last_Flame

[wary dove]

are builds with multiple cast on minion death no longer viable? Did that get phased out with an update?

[arctic ember]

Does # to # Phys damage to attacks apply to spells also?

[fervent briar]

has anyone figured anything out for titan yet in hcssf thats worth a damn without the herald of ice tech. Already played stampede and some ci builds. eq is not an option.

[fervent briar]

where are you getting your attack speed from.

[hybrid ocean]

I think you already know the answer

you will not like it

[fervent briar]

is it, you dont get attack speed

[hybrid ocean]

Nah, HoWA

"New martial weapon build!"
Look inside
HoWA

[fervent briar]

oh. i play hcssf thats not an option atm. i ripped my last char 3 weeks ago and dont have howa or pillar

so basically we have all converged on howa pillar. everything else is a waste of time without the herald of ice ring

i wish we had poeninja, so i could search build by the uniques i have to get ideas.

[hybrid ocean]

Which uniques do you have?

Do you happen to have a hoghunt?

[fervent briar]

yes lol

the ones im interested in is whisper and call of the brotherhood

[hybrid ocean]

If you can get a higher crit rate corrupt, you could join me in experimenting with some sort of goofy 100% crit dual wield build

The core of which is that the off hand weapon for whatever reason squares its crit damage bonus

[fervent briar]

what are you doing to get base damage

[hybrid ocean]

Rings and gloves

[fervent briar]

interesting but im not surei can pull that off in hcssf and cap res and get life while getting double flat on rings and gloves

i do have this, but this atttack speed node needs to be on small passives not notables

i think psn concoc would work with this

i have this

its really annoying that there isnt a minion specific one of these

i wonder if there ever going to allow armour base types to be expert and unique at the same time

[restive mortar]

what do you mean? time lost jewels can't have attack speed on small nodes

[fervent briar]

I know, its incredibly unfortunate you get like 1-2% attack speed out of this

unless you're lucky with your tree

[restive mortar]

you could play wifowhail spark if you get a decent quiver

[fervent briar]

i already played spark to 93

[restive mortar]

oh with widowhail?

[fervent briar]

i dont think so. its the same old shit though

i had a wand on this char

that char died with my ingenuity. dont have it in me to try and farm another one

also my everlasting gaze

my portal to red vale is still open on a character from 3 weeks ago lol

has anyone figured out any self curse tech with shackles yet?

[leaden moth]

Hello was just wondering if anybody could help regarding this, or maybe link to a good build for blood mage.

[dawn spire]

30% is absurdly low for endgame. You're taking 150% more damage than you would be at 75%

I'm also not quite sure why you're allocating that one crit cluster with a mostly minion build

[leaden moth]

Well it's a detonate dead + minion build. Combo is for mobs: flame wall 2x (for raging spirits), spam bone cage, kill one enemy and spam detonate dead. Then for bosses flame wall 2x, pain offering, bonestorm 2x, flame wall 2x, bonestorm 2x then do pain offering again and repeat

But yeah ig I don't really need crit damage but I don't know what else to go for in the tree atm

[onyx valve]

I am really struggling with my monk getting stun locked and dying. I am fine most of the time...but i make one wrong move and I am done

How can I help prevent that?

lvl 85 with acrobatics, currently about 4600 evasion

[last horizon]

I can't seem to find where I can punch in my ascension points in pob. Am I silly or is it something that's not implemented yet?

[onyx valve]

look to the outside of the main tree

its not in the center like you would think

also make sure to select the acendancy from the drop down in the top bar

[last horizon]

Riiight. I'm silly

Thank you

Hey, wondering if i can get a little build help - I'm having trouble with getting 1 shot from off screen attacks and not sure how to fix it.

I'm playing Crossbow - galvanic shards + heralds for screen clear, and plasma blast to shock into shockburst rounds for bosses. I want to keep that playstyle and im happy with my DPS, but just want to fix the survivability issue

i got 75% in all ele res, 32% chaos, but i think its phys attacks giving me the problem. not looking for an endgame build, just maybe a gear swap or two, or a few passive nodes to switch to help fix it in the short term

Budget for gear is like 5 div right now

POB link here: https://maxroll.gg/poe2/pob/eb72y07m

[rapid wadi]

what are some of the different payoffs for a stat stacking build?

is it worth it to stack if u are not going to use a quarterstaff?

[static plinth]

Whats your actual evasion chance

Make sure your res are capped obv, get flat stun threshhold or add ES to stun threshhold

[onyx valve]

57-62 depending on the map tier

[static plinth]

You should probably drop acrobatics

[onyx valve]

really?

[static plinth]

I wouldnt touch it unless you have at least 75% after acro

[onyx valve]

ah, yeah my ranger is like 78 after acro

all my res are always 60+, been messing around with gear. usually at least 2 are maxxed.

[static plinth]

You should keep all 3 max no matter what, youre taking a ton more damage if theyre not

Chaos is less important, just get it where you can

[onyx valve]

Yeah I try to keep chaos up cause i dont wanna run inoc

[static plinth]

Yeah thats not awful

Id drop Acrobatics, and maybe try to get a node of ES to stun threshhold

Can pick up acrobatics again when you have better evasion gear

[onyx valve]

RIP just started a gold t14 and got stunlocked and died in the first mob

but i just completed like 5 t13+ without any issues. so annoying.

I have briny carapace now, just added today. still very meh

[proud osprey]

so im tryin to progress my explosive grenade witch hunter before swapping over to galvanic/shockburst that everyone else is doing. any advice? key problems so far are: mana issues / defensive layering once im getting through t10+; if i get surrounded im insta-gibbed, and still sort of 1-shot succeptible

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/1s7cn056

[onyx valve]

Can't help, but I was new to the game and my bro said to start a merc. Did that, got to end game, fell behind with dps and survival. Did a ranger and a monk, both way more fun and easier

Dunno if you are new or not tho

[dawn spire]

Are your ele resistances capped and do you have at least 2k life?

And 20%+ movement speed on boots + solid life flask help a lot, too

[proud osprey]

^ not new but just casual; the goal was to get this to farm up as much as possible (ideally get some good currency and then just make some offmeta builds)

boots are 25% MS; res are capped/2k life (in the notes for the maxroll)

[dawn spire]

Oh, my b. I'm on mobile and I thought you just linked your guide, not your character

[pearl sluice]

New player, finally got around to trying out trade. Just wanted a cheap ring with resistences on it. Been a few hours and legit can not get anyone to message me back . Feel like SSF is the way.

[magic tide]

Can i use attribute stacking with pillar with any class? I wanna make it work for sorc because i kinda don't like how leveling goes with her so far and i really liked the attribute stacker lvling 😛

[dawn spire]

All classes can use all skills and gear, so yes

And when you say you don't like sorc leveling, do you mean you don't like elemental spells?

If so, I'd try #1326972100409426081

[magic tide]

i am using a spark leveling build and it's kinda rough 😛

i am just trying to level a sorc to try out a build but it's like my 5th time i go through the story and anything that's not really fast is really painful by now 😄

especially now that i am in act 3 🥲

[light hill]

18% increased Energy Shield Recharge Rate

do these help with spark maana regen after eltrich bat?

[woeful steppe]

anyone got a super endgame gemling stat stacker build? i need help improving mine, i got ok damage but i keep getting one shot

[magic tide]

what's your budget?

fubgun has a pretty good one but its super expensive

[woeful steppe]

well i had 54 divs and just spent 14 on ingenuity maybe dont make me spend all of it

[magic tide]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/0o1bbr01 this build was 16 divs a month ago

gotta adjust that to inflation

and it might be outdated

[woeful steppe]

alr thanks

[magic tide]

ingenuity is a good investment 😛

[tired echo]

Im looking for a Minion Army Infernalist build i guess i was building off a old guide and pretty sure i messed my stuff up..

[woeful steppe]

yea it was 14 divs for a 72%

[magic tide]

nice

[verbal sundial]

what can i use in the 6th link to improve the dps?
currently using considered casting, acceleration, inspiration and arcane tempo

[uncut jay]

is movement speed only on boots ?

what are some items that can boost my ms?

I'll buy 35% on the boots, but how to get it higher with gear?

[wicked tiger]

scalper's jacket gives 5% ms

some jewels and nodes also give ms

but your boots are your primary source of ms

[verbal sundial]

theres a helm with atkspeed+movement speed (10%) an armor with 10% movement and another armor with movement based on your evasion, also can allocate tree nodes on amulets for movement, jewels can give 2% as well

[restive mortar]

you can get corrupted boots with 35% + 3-5% vaal enchantment

[pastel valley]

Conduction, Lightning Exposure, Overcharge

[dawn spire]

Lightning mastery (or whatever the +1 level support is), controlled destruction (if not crit), or persistence

[left ledge]

Does anyone have a minon pob? i feel like my minion dps in pob is way low..

[haughty hemlock]

what's the overcapped res needed to mitigate - res mods?

[sour basin]

any good uniques for minion based? and how does this work with + to minion skills as they get those regardless of this keystone

[ember parrot]

Not sure how it combos with Fixation of Yix, does each Minion see each other minion as an ally and all boost each other crazy?

Ah nvm, doesn't work https://www.reddit.com/r/PathOfExile2/comments/1hcx4ho/psa_fixation_of_yix_does_not_work_with/

[sour basin]

im unsure im level 23 and first time doing any form of spell caster even from poe1 days i started as a warrior and always did marauder/melee in poe1 so this is totally new to me

[ember parrot]

Hmm... Defiance of Destiny (+12% HP) or Xoph's Blood (+18% HP) could cause quite tanky minions.

[sour basin]

my current plan (subject to change) is have a bunch of frontline tanks such as skele warriors then have snipers doing all the damage in the back then i cast curses and DOT like contagion or snipers gas so tanky would be good

im nowhere near that keystone rn just future planning this is without that keystone and focusing pure minion nodes

im gonna focus es/evasion gear

[ember parrot]

You want also to grab some monk/shadow nodes to the east then

[sour basin]

es/evasion is coming from my gear only lol im running around more than my warrior letting minion army do all the work for me lol

[ember parrot]

Well, the thing is you need passives if you really want it to pop off as well.

[sour basin]

possibly can get rid of the leftmost line/circle nodes to free up a few points to boost es/evasion

i do still have an annointment i could add. atm im thinking this as ive just started messing around with empowered zombies and only way of getting power charges is power siphon wand

max of 3 that last 20 seconds isnt enough to get a decent army going even with the 35% chance to not consume support and the 50% chance to get double charges

[inland nebula]

https://poe2.ninja/pob/59f
Anyone got advice for getting more AoE / General clear?
(Recoup is the entire point of the build, using Magma barrier + trampletoe + HoA for clear + Cast on Ignite DD)

[sour basin]

more aoe jewels lol

[wide depot]

so im toying around with the weapon set skill point system and trying to figure it out, how would I know which perks are allocated to which weapon set or do I just have to remember?

[leaden salmon]

Green and Red connecting lines

Like here.

Red = Weapon 1

Green = Weapon 2

[wide depot]

ah okay

thanks

[copper idol]

Stupid question, can someone confirm that 'Increased Area of Effect for Curses' will also boost the radius of curses slotted in Blasphemy? I can't see why not, but...

[static plinth]

It will

You also can slot Ritualistic Curse with 0 downside

[lyric heart]

Does ruthless work on increasing pin buildup

[crisp ferry]

I found a book that gave me 2 weapon set points, I added them to the tree as normal skill points, did i screw up or something ;o?

[leaden salmon]

Nope

[leaden salmon]

Yeah you havent spend any Weapon points

You dont need to while levelling

and early endgame

[crisp ferry]

oh

[leaden salmon]

Its for say a Sorc that wants to use Weapon Set 2 for Staff to cast Curses/Debuffs. Then you can put up to 24 points in one direction on the tree and then have those 24 points be a different place when you swap to Weapon 1

For damage

[crisp ferry]

Ohhhh I get it now

Those nodes get activated depending on the weapon you are using

Not sure which one to use

[woeful sundial]

What’s the data on ingenuity breakpoints?

[static plinth]

Unless you have stuff like a spirit ventors, there aren't really any breakpoints for ring stats

There's no rings with +2 to gem levels that Ingenuity could affect

[woeful sundial]

Yeah that makes sense

Thanks

[static plinth]

90% ingenuity makes you almost immune to curses with Thief's Torment, i guess

[woeful sundial]

Gotcha lol

[static plinth]

Other than that nothing interesting

[dim mulch]

hey guys anyone have a good guide on gemling spark build?

[hybrid ocean]

What's your thought process there? I mean, why gemling?

[atomic halo]

its connor's setup

big int = big mana = big tanky

less damage than stormweaver but you dont need damage, you need tank

for leveling, i would just do pillar

its all the stat stacking stuff anyway and the tree is quite similar

you can only transition to spark once you get archmage + the spell damage per mana node

@dim mulch

[dim mulch]

well i am level 91

and i want to change my build from gemling tempest fury + flicker to spark

[atomic halo]

yeah search up connorconverse then on youtube

[dim mulch]

ty

[hybrid ocean]

Ah, I see.

[hybrid ocean]

Speaking of such ideas, I've been contemplating a bonestorm warbringer

Both for the shield and for the armour break

I'm wondering if you have any insights on how to make such a thing function- I need to find damage somewhere while also pathing to a bunch of block chance

Maybe crit?

Since I can fairly easily get like 130+% increased damage from the two nodes that give damage equal to block chance

[dim mulch]

@atomic halo aye thank you this is what i was trying to find 🙂

[dim mulch]

i got this amulet in my inventory... it dose not have int on it but is it useable for starter O_O?

[atomic halo]

anything is usable to the right build, and that one certainly has some desired stats

[pearl moss]

is there a HUGE dps difference between 1-34 lightning damage to attacks vs 3-44 lightning dmg to attacks?

[carmine flicker]

is that your only source of damage?

what's the build?

[pearl moss]

It's a gas arrow build. It's not my only source as I also have cold and poison (mostly cold). Just trying to figure out which ring to buy lol

It's the Gas Arrow build by Ruetoo

[carmine flicker]

then it's nothing at all

don't bother with added damage on ring, unless it's, idk, potkg lvling

[tacit lichen]

What is the maximum shock debuff? And how does it stack when you have strike twice?

[carmine flicker]

by default shock is 20%

it can be scaled by shock magnitude

[tacit lichen]

What is the cap? And is it additive or multiplicative with strike twice?

[carmine flicker]

strike twice is literally two shocks

so if you have 100% shock magnitude(mean each shock is 40%) then target have 2 debuffs

each make it take 40% increased damage

80% total

and cap is 100%, but you need 400% increased shock magnitude

really doubt you will reasonably have that

[tacit lichen]

so the cap would be 200% more damage and not 10,000% more damage? assuming capped magnitude

[carmine flicker]

yeah, 200%

How much dps do you need to comfortably clear the game's hardest content?

[pastel valley]

what does more DPS? Gas Grenade or Gas Arrow?

[small anvil]

I haven't done pinnacle stuff, only up to 4th ascendency zarohk and trial master clears, t16s maps. Sconc tooltip is around 200k, pob dps isn't perfect but says around 600k. I don't think I'm factoring in wither or debuffs so dps could be higher. I understand people who are clearing t4 sim content are doing multi million dps

My gear is self found, can easily buy better gear for higher dps than what I have as a point of reference. Widow is only 247% triple socket with elem cores. Sconc level is only like 28 i think, it's not very high. People are getting mid 30s pretty easily. Top I've seen is level 40

[polar anvil]

Does Ghost Dance overflow your ES? Grim Feast does but only up to x2

If I had small ES to begin with and I might get more from Evasion would it be better running Ghost Dance?

[hot wigeon]

errr questiom, how to add quest related skill points to POB...

[near timber]

does this work with crit nodes too? ok it doesnt

[kindred barn]

Is it better to have
+70% spelldmg and +70% element dmg
Or 2 modifiers with ~20% extra damage and +70% element dmg?

Or how exactly dmg scales with these

[pastel violet]

anyone need gemling help?

[hybrid ocean]

There's no way, right?

This must be a poe2db bug

Surely they wouldn't make the two damage per block chance nodes (not) stack like that

[terse haven]

Does life regen and recovery increases effect leech?

[hybrid ocean]

Recovery yes, regen no.

Regen and leech are both types of recovery I believe

[woeful steppe]

what are some good jewels i can pick up for endgame gemling stat stacker, ive got like 8 divs for 10 jewel slots and i need damage and energy shield

never paid much attention to jewels so i have no idea what im looking for

[nocturne badger]

Base damage: (skill/tooltip)
+
Flat Damage: +n to n {type} damage
x
Increased damage: increased {type} damage (stacks additively with other "increase" keywords, 20% and 20% will give you a 40% increase over base (1.2+1.2 = 1.4))
x
More damage: {attacks/spells} deal {type} more damage (stacks multiplicatively with other "more" keywords ** 20% and 20% will give you a 44% increase over base** (1.2*1.2= 1.44))

Damage without extra
x
Extra damage: {attacks/spells} deal {type} damage as extra damage (additive with each other)

so in the end, it depends on your build

[dawn bronze]

we cooking

[vagrant cedar]

My deadeye so easy to die on T16 , help ! It just feels like so different to stay alive

[kindred barn]

If only I knew what my build is...

But thx anyway

[carmine flicker]

What defences do you use?

[white relic]

I'm currently running a no crit CoS LC build at 9k mana no ES, is there anything I can do to counteract multiple CoS triggers taking off 100% of my mana? I have the flask but there is still a chance for me to just die to some random hit if whatever I'm fighting doesn't die in one shot

[pastel gyro]

does increased flask charges gained effect flasks gain # charges per second?

[carmine flicker]

sure

[pastel gyro]

i need to be clear if i have a node that gain 0.1 charges per sec then use a node that give me 100% increased flask charges gained for example. i wil get 0.2 charge per sec from the first node that i mention right? i am not good with eng so sry

[carmine flicker]

yeah, you will

[thin thunder]

Does anyone know if Cast on Gems and Heralds work with Totems? From what I see they don't, are they not supposed to?

[nocturne niche]

Hi guys I need help I can’t use cast on freeze on map boss and others boss too . But normal monster I can cast every second. Any pro can advise ?

[restive mortar]

they don't because it's not you doing the freeze/ignite/etc

[fallow heath]

hello, how can i import my build to pob?

[nocturne badger]

^manually

[fallow heath]

Oh was hoping there'd be some other way lmao, thank u

[sinful plover]

what class is good for aurabotting

[dawn bronze]

so im lvl 20 in maps, any specific thing i should do to get lvl's or can i just go straight to leeching t16's

[midnight geode]

guys if i use this ring with this node would herald of ice do 50% mroe dmg? Or do chilled enemies not count as frozen when using this ring

[dusk arrow]

Is POB2 'level' at the top of the passive tree computed correctly? I'm asking because I put my passive tree in and it says lvl89. But I'm lvl91 in-game without available points?!
I'm afraid I missed two points in the campaign somehow lol. But all quests and bosses are done.

[wicked tiger]

Chilled is not frozen. This is more for bosses

[midnight geode]

aight ty

[midnight geode]

one more thing

is shattering an on death effect?

considering using these

[wispy mason]

do we have ways to reserve life outside of the infernalist ascendency passives? tryna take advantage of grimming immolation&pain attunment for 60% more crit dmg bonus

[wicked tiger]

I don’t believe so

[wicked tiger]

Did you kill silverfist in act 3 and 6?

[dusk arrow]

Omg I was missing Kabala on act 4 didn't notice the icon -_-

[broken coral]

Does implicit on rawhide belt increase ammount of life recovered or only speed? (specificly for Olrot's resolve).

[restive mortar]

if you have a look at the description of shatter what does it say? this is more for things that say "on kill" explicitly i believe

[midnight geode]

frozen enemies shattered when killed

[restive mortar]

life recovery vs life recovery rate. it increases the amount but it's over the same duration so the original amount is recovered "faster"

[midnight geode]

i tested it and it doesnt seem to work with heralf of ice, but its hard to tell

[restive mortar]

i think when killed =/= on kill

stuff like gain 40 life on kill on a weapon is what that's for

[midnight geode]

aaah

[broken coral]

Hmm, so does it mean that for Olroth's resolve instant recovery it would be just 30% more effectiveness?

[restive mortar]

yes it should be

[drifting cedar]

so armour explosion can't armour break, but if you wear the elemental poison gloves and put corrosion on it, can the poison it causes armour break?

[broken coral]

Can confirm. It does work like that.

[dawn bronze]

im nearing the end of campaign and im lvl 20, what should i do to catch up

[west dove]

catch up? catch up to what?

POE2 is an almost single player only game where the only thing you're playing against is yourself

there's no catching up

[near timber]

does skill speed affect atk speed?

[hybrid ocean]

Does the heroic jewel for these exist yet? If so, which one is it?

[restive mortar]

yes

anything speed pretty much

but not movement speed

[near timber]

why cant this return the "atk speed" to me? if i give the amulet stats to my minions

[restive mortar]

this is poe 1 not in poe2

[restive mortar]

because it's not attack speed it's skill speed

[near timber]

ok, that's sadge

[restive mortar]

I'm pretty sure that's why, it affects the attack speed but it isn't called "attack speed"

[near timber]

would the "increased damage" of the amulet count for this?

[restive mortar]

what build are you doing with that out of curiosity

[hybrid ocean]

That makes sense. Probably a mistake that it's on poe2db then

[near timber]

i try to be the minion

buffing the "minions" to return the buffs to me

[restive mortar]

it should? I'm not sure if that node works with those weapons or not

yeah i looked at those 2 weapons before

just doesn't seem enough support to use them

[near timber]

i tried to cook but i feel like im cooked

[restive mortar]

yes some things are still there like heists and timeless jewels that are not in poe2

[restive mortar]

yeah i wanted to use chober chaber but I think the base damage is just too low. if there was easier ways to increase minion damage maybe but right now it's just about the same scaling as weapons

[near timber]

would holding it twice double the effect or just count as one? owo

[restive mortar]

like 1 point giving 20% minion damage is worse than something that's just 25% increased damage

I think it would not double

I think it's designed for templar the class which isn't out yet

as its strength/int and minion stuff

one thing to note is you can use these if you're using giants blood with it to make a 300str requirement instead of 300int

[hybrid ocean]

Wait, that doesn't get added to the normal strength requirement?

I would've thought it would be 528 strength

[atomic halo]

no, i dont think so

[near timber]

well, my plan was to run a forced stat stacker titan that can applify small skill nodes and some (10+) would give him 15-18% damage increase?

[near timber]

so that are the gloves before howa swap owo

[glad aurora]

Just so I’m clear, spark crit chance is percentage based off 9% so 100% crit chance is only 18%

[atomic halo]

yeah

[glad aurora]

That just seems really hard to stack without huge Div items.

[atomic halo]

you're not supposed to get 100% crit without very serious investment

because you dont need it

[restive mortar]

howa slop smh

much better to run pillar or just a well rolled weapon tbh

[atomic halo]

if you look at fubgun's mirror tier stat stacker his crit chance is like 40% or something

[restive mortar]

if you want to do pillar jank, try this @near timber

you can vaal it so it goes up to 600 total

[hybrid ocean]

Ah yes, the molten blast hammer

[glad aurora]

Ok so is it not advised to switch to it until you get one of those big Div pieces?

[atomic halo]

my point is that you dont need a lot of crit chance for crit to be good

i have no idea what your specific build recommends

[glad aurora]

Been following the NickTew mob build for non crit and moving over to the crit so I moved passives around. I seem to get only killed with weird stun build up physical attacks but tried a breach at mLvl81 and got my lunch ate. I have 6 divs and just trying to make the next move forward

[atomic halo]

is there a question somewhere in there

just follow your guide

[midnight geode]

piercing arrows keep gaining crit chance even after they hit an enemy right?

or chainning ones

[fringe lagoon]

The problem is that most guides won't hand hold you in the end game explaining how to scale further and gear has often a much bigger impact than the tree itself - figuring out how to get the best upgrade within a budget is something that players need to learn by themselves

[gloomy radish]

Im at lvl 87 and kinda stuck with 32000 dps on Lightning Arrow. Seems equipments are very expensive and I don't know how to improve my dps anymore

Any advice on what to prioritize on Quivers and Bows at this stage?

Attack Speed Projectile Skills and Physical Damage was my main goal until now, but it seems I need something more. But everything better than what I have in the market is like 20x Divines + 🥲

[atomic halo]

what is that bow

[gloomy radish]

bad?

[atomic halo]

are you telling me you cannot find a better bow below 20 div

link the guide

[gloomy radish]

it's doing 320 dps, anything more than that is very expensive hahahaha

[atomic halo]

what's your budget

for the bow

[gloomy radish]

I have 1 divine and 160 exalted

[atomic halo]

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Standard/b62qpmXHL

sort by dps

486 dps

and dont even mention the levels

+1 level is like 5% more dps

so your original bow is 320 * 1.05^4 = 388 dps

not to mention the mana costs

this one is still 25% more dps

and that's just by dps, the guide recommends dualstring and/or + arrow for clear

[gloomy radish]

I was wondering about it, how much worth to invest in + skills

[atomic halo]

you can see the damage numbers yourself on poe2db.tw

it's all just math

[gloomy radish]

That's another question, dualstring is dps x2?

[atomic halo]

no, the arrows dont shotgun

it's just more clear

you don't get any more single target dps

if you still want +1 arrow you can have the same dps but with way better clear here https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Standard/Zkm4G80TQ

it's much cheaper to look for the + arrow suffix than for the dualstring base itself

[gloomy radish]

That makes a lot of sense. If I filter for dualstring bows only, my options are very narrow

I'll try the 486 dps one

What about the Quiver? Thinking better now, maybe it's not worthing keep the +2 skill level and focus in % damage instead

[atomic halo]

you want a fancy weighted sum for quiver

i can take a crack at it but i havent actually played bows in poe2 yet

[gloomy radish]

2k more dps with the bow

That's good

[wispy glen]

Hello, is there any rune/cores that can add intelligence to armor?

[keen spindle]

hey guys, just wondering, if i equipped both a wand and a quiver, does projectiles like spark benefit from both of them? or will quiver only benefit if I have bow equipped instead of wand?

[atomic halo]

you cant

equip a wand and a quiver

quiver requires a bow

no getting around it

[keen spindle]

oh haha i see didnt know that, tnx!

[pastel valley]

what's the endgame meta for rangers? gas, explosive or lightning?

[fervent spruce]

Hi, what is the best minion build atm?

[wicked tiger]

lightning + duo heralds

[fervent briar]

anyone here messed around with impending doom gemling in ssf

[hybrid ocean]

I'd always just use a weighted sum of the implicit, suffix and enchant

[atomic halo]

ah thats smart

the implicit is unbelievably overpriced at lower budgets though

[kindred barn]

Is there a target dummy or at lesst any on being planned to be made?

Testing weapons without it to find which weapon is actually better is super annoying

[fervent spruce]

Is there a way to save and load builds? Or is there a plan to implement it?

[atomic halo]

they discussed the possibility of it

so... probably not?

[kindred barn]

Bruh why it would make things so much easier

[hidden tartan]

Anyone played dual-wield molten blast, I got 1 question

[dim fox]

someone who knows ice strike build can advice me ? on Raxx build he don't use either HOWA or utility belt, what are your thought ? without HOWA i lose a LOT of dps

[fervent briar]

his build is most likely a league start setup if it doenst use howa

[midnight geode]

anyone knows if this works with barrage + snipe?

[fervent briar]

personally i hope howa is removed from the game

[dim fox]

it's called "final ice strike build" so i think it's pretty endgame

[dim fox]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/a91mv801

[fervent briar]

its probably just a non completely stupid build. which all howa builds fall under stupid builds

[dim fox]

so howa is better than regular gloves ?

[fervent briar]

howa is better than any other pair of gloves in the game by a lot

[dim fox]

ok, so i keep them, thanks

[fervent briar]

thats why you cant find any build tech for ssf. everyone converged on howa

its the replica alberons of poe2. and its not from general content you have to be able to farm breach without it

[dawn spire]

They said they've considered it, but that it would likely provide incorrect information if it was just a blob of hp. So they would need it to have stats. But every mob is different, so they would need to make it configurable, and before long it just became too big of a thing to devote dev resources to

[carmine flicker]

blob of hp is better than nothing

can test interractions at least

[dawn spire]

Their argument was that it would be worse than nothing in some cases

[carmine flicker]

well
let players judge that

GGG just don't want testing to be easier than it's currently is
for many reasons

[dawn spire]

I don't think that's what their stance was

[carmine flicker]

ofc they will never admit that

anyway

[pastel valley]

deadeye?

[white herald]

A question about defences in general: why do so many builds i see online invest no passives in ES, Evasion or Armor? Especially ES i see builds online which do rely on ES, but then they put no points in max shield size, recharge rate or fast start of recharge. why is that?

[wheat cape]

would this be usable? can I id it?

didnt want to buy it without knowing, not sure about the corrupt/unid combo

[vagrant jackal]

What pieces can get mana on hit?

[latent bronze]

question: if i dont have any fire attacks but I have an attribute on equipment that "adds x fire dmg to attacks", does that actually add fire or did I need fire to begin with?

[atomic halo]

doesnt matter what your attack already does

as long as you're attacking

[latent bronze]

okay cool. just making sure it wasnt moot to have that attribute if i didnt already deal the dmg ya know

[atomic halo]

yeah

you can use any attack skill with it and it works just fine

[carmine flicker]

well
just don't socket brutality

(support that disable all non-phys)

[nocturne badger]

volcanic skin def good for fire builds

stars aligned are ehhh

[carmine flicker]

it's about 20% more damage for 33% of the fight.. so +7% more damage average?

[nocturne badger]

it's complicated

this is great by all means, especially if you are a warrior or something and do fire

this is kinda weird

it's hard to say how good it is

[carmine flicker]

few people play fire tho
worst element now, sadly

[nocturne badger]

but it will improve on average

but considering stuff like this

[carmine flicker]

it's 7% more damage in long boss fight in average

[nocturne badger]

how often is a boss fight long

like, whenever we get proper uber-pinnacles - sure

but now, kinda bad

[carmine flicker]

lightning have HUGE damage range, so lucky lightning is up to 30% more easy

[nocturne badger]

13%

that is with wild storm

which makes the range 15% higher

[carmine flicker]

what skill?

[nocturne badger]

not sure how it affects min dmg

[carmine flicker]

cause for spark it's 30% more

if you have no flat added

(if you have no crit ofc)

[slow notch]

I am confused. I switched to a full mana spark mage build and my passive tree says I have 740 strength. Is that a bug?

[latent bronze]

is there a way to remove this strike ability since I dont use it? or do I have to have a ring to add +1 slots?

[lyric hill]

add ring, thats the default attack of the weapon, you can take it away from the attack bar but not the gems slot

[tardy karma]

will these ever be useful?

[nocturne badger]

yes

they are very useful when crafting

[tardy karma]

okok ty

[hybrid ocean]

Does anyone know if stats are snapshotted when you use an ability?

Specifically wondering what happens if I have charge infusion and use my last power charge on a skill, will that skill have the boosted crit rate?

[fervent briar]

does anyone know why impending doom isnt proccing when i cast despair,
im using
blasphemy-enfeeble-heightened curse-ritualistic curse
self casting
Despair-impending doom-cursed ground-tried (controlled destruction-spell echo and spell cascade)

it only works if i turn off blasphemy and either use spell echo or i self cast enfeeble and despair.

Does blasphemy prevent me from applying-therefore the 2nd curse is never applied and removed?

[next arrow]

Whats the best character and build for acts in hardcore?

[fervent briar]

my easiest so far was shattering concoction pf. if you have widowhail and can get to first ascendnacy

[dawn spire]

I recommend anything that isn't melee, personally. Specifically mace melee. I had a nice time with ED/contagion and spark. Tho I would guess that cold spells might be even safer because chilled/frozen enemies are less dangerous

[pearl moss]

Can I use pob on Mac?

[static plinth]

It has no stats so ID away

Megalomaniac's only stats are the anoints it comes with

[idle oxide]

As a melee player, since like forever, I've never played a mage in any game. Im trying to see if mage is fun before next league. What kind of build would you recommend that's not Spark or Minions, and doesnt require some crazy expensive build-enabling uniques. (@ me in answers please :D)

[carmine flicker]

you can aways play archmage-not-spark
arc is ok
lightning conduit with shock stack oneshot worlds etc

or demon-anything with regen stack

[idle oxide]

Demon sounds fun ig. I really dont like 1 button gameplay like any archmage build tbh

[carmine flicker]

demon is one button too

well

if you don't count "press demon form at map start"

[idle oxide]

-_-

anything not one button thats a mage? 😛

ig one button builds are meta...

[carmine flicker]

I don't know
I like zero button builds

[idle oxide]

Lol

Cuz like u know, warrior is 3 buttons, stampede sunder hammer of gods

Monk is 3, bell some melee attack and buff every 10 sec

[carmine flicker]

my warrior is 1 button(totem)

my other warrior - zero button (summoner)

[idle oxide]

totem warrior, you might as well dose me loool

[carmine flicker]

what's wrong with totem warrior?

[idle oxide]

Very boring

u just spam a single button that you dont even need to aim

[carmine flicker]

yeah, that's how I like it

[idle oxide]

I dont like builds that are 100% your gear 0% your skill

[carmine flicker]

doing anything more complicated for 6 hours in a row is too much work

[carmine flicker]

then I can't say anything of value to you, sorry

[idle oxide]

D:

[carmine flicker]

tell you more
I also hate to dodge so build tanky as hell
