2┃build-planning

[gusty leaf]

Is there a way to import your char into POB atm other than having to index everything manually?

[dire zephyr]

I'm following a build for warbringer called Woolie's Armor Break Warbringer and it says to get svalinn with cast on block, but doesnt say what to put in there, does anyone have any idea what I should use?

[kindred barn]

What exactly "Freeze as though dealing Cold damage equal to 10% of your maximum Mana when Hit" does?

[plain breach]

Hi, i want to start a new build, i am currently using spark, i would like to start a different build any suggestions

[opal bobcat]

Would using unbreakable / wind wave support gems on blasphemy or infernalist demon form make them always work?

[dim fox]

i went for this guide, is it ok ? https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/profile/be8635af-0e26-4d16-8e47-026eecfb5662/builds/166dd737-7309-4b51-bff3-8966335b7012?weaponSet=set2

[sleek scroll]

is there a way to increase the clear speed of DD as a bloodmage apart from just inc aoe ?

[atomic halo]

whatever that value is, it gives them freeze buildup equal to 10% of your max mana

its like dealing 10% of your mana as cold damage but they dont take any of the damage and just the freeze buildup

at least, that's how i read it, it's pretty weird

[waxen jewel]

I've seen like 300 emeralds now. Yet to see one with quiver bonus QQ

And most annoying part is it's not even essencable

Trial of sekhemas is really nice for jewels though and I kinda like that contents even though it's so half-assed

It's like pretending to be important with it's whole 7 different relic types and all, but then it's just a path finding simulator (though I guess that's true for the game overall)

I mostly enjoy the added movespeed that's lacking in Atlas content

[dawn lintel]

can someone hop in a call with me ive been trying to do this boss "count genor" an i feel like my person just doesnt do damage my max hit is only a 50

[magic portal]

Can I increase the rarity part of this ring with quality? If yes how? If not what should I increase and how?

[waxen jewel]

Don't worry about jewelry quality right now

It's an endgame feature which is definitely not necessary to complete the campaign

Are you attacking build?

[magic portal]

I completed campaign and was running sekhema and Chaos trials. Wanted to increase my rarity output

Im ice strike invoker with triple ele

[waxen jewel]

There are 2 main things I would look at:

1. Is your weapon WAY underleveled
2. And are you understanding conversion

[magic portal]

In what way conversion

[waxen jewel]

You know, how skills convert to other damage types

[magic portal]

Like ice and lightning concersion on Heralds?

[waxen jewel]

Usually physical to elemental

Yeah heralds have conversion, yes

[magic portal]

I know that ice strike converts physical damage to cold damage so i want high physical damage to increase that further

[waxen jewel]

But honestly, I doubt that's the issue of your build, because your +%increased damage sources should be for generic elemental damage

[magic portal]

But I didn't go into that Rabbit hole

[waxen jewel]

How about the levels of your gems?

And also the supports on them

You obviously don't have 5 sockets on every skill at that point, but it's very cheap to start getting 4 sockets with vaal orbs corrupting 3 socket gems

One thing with heralds to keep in mind, is that they can't apply the ailment they use as their payoff

So herald of thunder can't apply shock because it consumes shocks so there's no point in putting, let's say, increased shock magnitude support on your herald of thunder cause it can't shock anyways

OHHH

Right you are at halfway of campaign

It's just cruel difficulty now

[upper fable]

I didn’t know that

Is that why deadeye guys use ice on lightning herald and lightning on ice ?

[waxen jewel]

So maybe disregard the thing I said about 4 sockets and vaal orbs, it's not necessarily super relevant yet, but something to keep in mind

[waxen jewel]

Yeah, that's one way to approach it, but there are many supports that go well with heralds, but you gotta keep mind the gem tag Payoff

I don't know how you "hover" over that information on console, but I suggest you read it

[clever vine]

Which build atm is the most fast/zoomzoom for mapping?

[waxen jewel]

Anything with enough damage and temporalis

Probably spark because it skills off screen too

[clever vine]

Spark sound great!! Which class exactly?

[waxen jewel]

Or alternatively some squishy queen of the forest pile with the Historic jewel converting your intelligence for evasion stacking

Mobility is the main issue if you just want to "zoom zoom", plenty of build kill everything instantly

There are 2 options that do jack shit about mobility and those are blink or Queen of the Forest

[clever vine]

Yeah you right

[waxen jewel]

Ball lightning probably does too

Some kind of ball lightning + lightning warp build

With high enough projectile speed

[clever vine]

Speak sound good since i always wamted to play it in poe1 but never had the chance

Which class should i roll for it?

[waxen jewel]

Sorcerer

But it depends on how you want to play and I don't trade so, I don't know how expensive this and that build is, so there's that aspect too.

The lightning warp kind of playstyle is probably more realistic for a first character and I've seen a video or 2 of it and it actually does look fast

[clever vine]

Yeah. Cause i played ice strike monk and its beautiful! I beat everything in the game but its too slow... i like something more faster

[lyric veldt]

Is anyone familiar with the find dps upgrade feature on Path of Building? I'm trying to use it and it isn't working properly, I'm not sure how to fix it

[waxen jewel]

HMM

Flicker strike is a thing

But IDK if you can make it work as your first character reasonably

Maybe you can, genuinely 0 idea

Every skill works if you have crazy good gear

[clever vine]

Is there any levelling unique like in poe Goldrim, Tabula, wanderlust etc

[atomic halo]

goldrim and wanderlust are in poe2

[kindred barn]

Finally someone was able to answer ffs I was asking about it multiple times and even searched thru dozens of questions on server before
Thank you

[atomic halo]

pillar, basically

can do it on any class, stack attr and blast

[kindred barn]

Doubt I really need it after all tho since I already almost instantly freeze anyone

[atomic halo]

or widowhail stuff

[pearl sluice]

Is there any witch/sorc magic builds that do not rely on casting spark/flame or icewall? Every starter build I look into is always spam lightning it feels like. I just wanted to play a caster because I have gone through all the melees

[waxen jewel]

I was wondering if anyone has a Sekhema's Resolve at hand, do the jewel affixes scale from quality?

If not it's kinda scuffed like the elemental weapons that also miss out on quality

[grim bay]

WHats better? pure lighting damage? or spell damage? ex on a focus.

i should ad for a sparkweaver

[atomic halo]

do the jewel affixes scale from quality?
extremely unlikely

[waxen jewel]

Funny how I asked to so long ago and I happen to check discord within 2secs of you asking it

Anyways, I truly have no intuition how shit like that should work, because IIRC vaal enchants do benefit from quality

[atomic halo]

if it's a number on a modifier on the item

it works

if its not, i would be very surprised if it did.

[waxen jewel]

Right, there are 2 items with different item class and all, I can see how that's very much different situation

Right right, like abyss jewels in poe1

[atomic halo]

i would assume you would need to apply the quality to the jewel itself

which of course isn't possible

[waxen jewel]

yet :)

I'll add that interaction to the list of things about quality that triggers my non-existing autism

[spiral jasper]

is critical damage better than gain attack in cases where crits are consistent?

[waxen jewel]

Because I feel like quality shouldn't be a discussion whether you get it or not, it should just work

[spiral jasper]

or do gain attack type benifit from crits, so it makes them better?

[waxen jewel]

The more outrageous thing is the elemental weapon bases losing 20% more multiplier due to quality

You can't just give up 20% more damage. That's more than gem slot usually

But my rant is over early access etc.

[waxen jewel]

This is important question. The answer is no. You can think of crit as an multiplier just like increased damage. Because on average that's what crit does

There's no synergy, completely independent is my point

Only thing you do need to pay attention is the ratio of %inc critical damage and %inc crit chance, because those do have synergy

[spiral jasper]

aren't critical damage considered multiplicative rather than additive like any 'increased' damage tho?

mm.. wait nvm, i think I understand now

it's based off of the base and increases it

thank you

[waxen jewel]

Yeah it is, so in a sense once you have a big enough pile of +%inc damage the diminishing returns have started to kick in and you might get more for the same commitment elsewhere (such as crit)

[ebon cipher]

Is there anyway to get this higher?

[waxen jewel]

And then there are few traps in PoE that defy logic like +%inc rarity, which doesn't diminish in returns in the obvious way, but instead uses some hidden formula that people need to reverse engineer...

[ebon cipher]

Oh im aware it does. Between 150-200, its a huge drop off

[wicked tiger]

90%+ ingenuity?

[ebon cipher]

But this is purely an aura bot build

[waxen jewel]

After all the work GGG has done "branding" the word %increased to mean a linear curve, then they do shit like that

[ebon cipher]

With uniq gloves so im not killing anything

[wicked tiger]

MF soul cores?

[ebon cipher]

Just existing with full party

[waxen jewel]

But, that's fine, GGG is still really good with consistency compared to many game studios. Diablo 4 is just lottery, nothing means nothing

[ebon cipher]

I have 91% ingenuity already

[waxen jewel]

How much was that?

[ebon cipher]

Idk, i rolled it

[wicked tiger]

What about 92%? 🥴

[waxen jewel]

Right

Like 1/16

Something like that whatevs

Which is kind crazy honestly

Vaals on uniques really shape the way people play now. So much easier to get almost perfect item's that way

[ebon cipher]

Oh no, it took so many tries

I cant imagine how man divs i blew

[waxen jewel]

Yeah, but like compare it to getting that good rare on some slot with huge pool like rings and amulets, it's nothing

Or increased quiver% on emerald. That 1 affix alone is 1/200

[wicked tiger]

How many divs do you drop with 900 mf?

Per hour*

[ebon cipher]

Yeah but at end game, honestly just gambling is all u have left

[ebon cipher]

Havnt tested yet, still building so idk

[wicked tiger]

Ah

Maybe you’ll drop a mirror with this setup

[ebon cipher]

Hopefully 😂

[waxen jewel]

I'm curious what you mean by gambling here, because there's the game mechanic gambling too which I find more and more relevant on my account as I progress

[ebon cipher]

Well, after i made a couple characters, made a gemling that does almost 2m dps, and finished all pinnacle, wasnt much more to do

[waxen jewel]

Makes sense

2 item build haha

[ebon cipher]

So im just doing experiments, wasting HUNDREDS of divs and vaals on gambling items

[waxen jewel]

Slam anything on top and you are good

[ebon cipher]

This aura bot is one such experiment

[waxen jewel]

ohh

[ebon cipher]

Wanna see how the drop rate will be if i go in full party with the gloves that count all kills as my kills

I go from like couple hundred divs to single digits all the time so thats where i see the game as “gambling”

[waxen jewel]

HMMM. Is "aura-bot" some poe slang that has nothing to do with using auras? Because I can't understand how any skill interacts with rarity/quant

[ebon cipher]

so bot as in im not doing anything but just be there

[waxen jewel]

Ahh, ohh you mean, building some character with your infinite cash, I see

I'm curious what can it do except take the few nodes near templar and increase presence range maybe?

[ebon cipher]

this glove counts all kills by party mates as my own, so everything they kill will be a 900%+ IIR

combined with the increased drop rate with more people in your party

im curious what the effect will be

oh wait

wrong gloves

[waxen jewel]

Yeah lmfao

I was so confused

[ebon cipher]

this one

[waxen jewel]

Ohhh

Too bad you can't double glove for double kill bonuses too

Then there's the wolf hat for 100% more presence range and +100 spirit

[ebon cipher]

true but then

id lose out on 82% IIR

[waxen jewel]

Wait what, I forgot helmets can also roll prefix rarity

[ebon cipher]

yup

[waxen jewel]

It's like gloves and boots have it only 1 way

[ebon cipher]

also body armor

[waxen jewel]

That's not one people usually are even thinking in their builds lol

[ebon cipher]

and shield too

[waxen jewel]

I know that unique though yeah yeah

[ebon cipher]

yeah, so i just grabbed all the IIR i could possibly get

[waxen jewel]

It has it own pool of weird affixes that scale per socketed item right?

[ebon cipher]

and wanted to test if a full party of 5 people, all with 900%+ drop rate, and the increased drop rate due to 5 people in party, plus a very juiced map

how would the drop rates be?

[waxen jewel]

And yeah then justt vaal for +1 socket I've seen this thing :D

OHHH

[ebon cipher]

vaal?

[waxen jewel]

OOF

I mean this body armour

[ebon cipher]

morior? yeah i vaal for 5 socket

[waxen jewel]

But instead of stacking attributes, you can do that too fair fair

[clever vine]

Lol you can't have double wand in poe2?

[waxen jewel]

NOPE

[clever vine]

I want to kms

[ebon cipher]

anyway, who knows, maybe even mirrors will drop

we'll see

[waxen jewel]

Maybe you'll hit some joke threshold rarity that's coded in for funzies

You'll reach the mirrorland

[ebon cipher]

we'll see, its why its an experiment

if i dont get much drops, eh who cares

[waxen jewel]

You seem to be doing fine drop-wise

[ebon cipher]

i have nothing else to do in the game atm

[waxen jewel]

I'm waiting for patch to even care about making my 2nd character

[ebon cipher]

my average droprate on my main is barely over 200%, so its not bad

but its not 900

[waxen jewel]

Everything feels like it builds itself (I'm sure there's million snowflake/creative builds out there), but that's my opinion

[clever vine]

What is another weapon i can carry while using a wand that have some spell damage mod?

[ebon cipher]

sceptre, focus, shield

[waxen jewel]

Double sceptre is legal too I think

[ebon cipher]

yup

ahh wait

technically i can have more IIR

[waxen jewel]

There is one helm

[ebon cipher]

shoes

currently leveling my infernus,

to get all three of the 25% hp reserved passive

so technically, once i level it up enough, i can get around 950% IIR

[waxen jewel]

NVM, for some reason I thought this could roll rarity enchant:

[ebon cipher]

mmm unless theres a uniq that can beat 82% IIR alone

[waxen jewel]

I mean. If the wiki is up to date/trustable, this thing can carry upto 2 of it's own vaal enchants and transform into another unique helm

Wasn't this in poe1 too?

[ebon cipher]

yeah, i did the research on all uniqs when i went on this endeavor and there wasnt anything that could beat that IIR

[waxen jewel]

Can it actually roll a weird ass special vaal enchant that gives IIR?

[ebon cipher]

even if it could, it woul just be a single implicit

[waxen jewel]

The wiki page claims it could carry on 2, but who knows. This kind of stuff is usually just datamined and dumbed into the wiki without verification

And we are inside like 3 hypotheticals here anyways

[waxen jewel]

Ohh, is this the aurabot?

[atomic halo]

the wiki has a source, you can check by referencing trade listings

however, none of those enchantments are rarity, so it cant beat your rare

[glacial vessel]

I am playing spark act2 level 20, I am having kind of hard times with survive and dmg. Is it normal ?

[shadow zephyr]

Can anyone with Olroth's Resolve Unique Life Flask confirm 2 things for me?

1: If you have guard while using Blood Magic, does the cost of skills ignore your guard and come directly from your life pool?

2: If yes to 1, if you continue to cast with your life after achieving guard, will further instances of overheal stack with your remaining guard?

I lied, 3 things. Does the duration refresh or is it tracked iteratively across multiple instances?

[narrow summit]

at what point can I use herald of ice and thunder at the same time?

[gloomy radish]

Im getting so frustrated. Everytime I change things on my build, I end up reducing my dps. I must be doing something very wrong

[strong frost]

What are the best auras for a bot?

[pastel valley]

how much evasion do you actually need to feel safe?

[waxen jewel]

This is not knowledge about Olroth's, but logically the duration should queue unless you have the pathfinder ascendancy notable or Eternal Youth key passive that buggily disables flask queueing atm

That's what I would expect as player

[waxen jewel]

I mean what are you doing right in the first place? Just you have some idea, and then you change stuff. Why did you change stuff? For fun maybe, sure, good reason. If the change in dps happened due to gear swapping there's few gotchas about local modifiers I can tell you

If you are early in game it's pretty much just raw damage numbers and attack speed that determine your damage

And if you are playing attacks, Added X to Y damage modifiers from things like rings affect your dps extremely much

[wicked tiger]

75% is decent

Combined with energy shield of course

[wicked tiger]

When you have enough spirit

[craggy hearth]

helllo is pob 2 100% viable?

here is the comparison with pob and ingame tooltip
left is in game, average 476.5 ( 905+ 48 /2 )
right is POB average 619.3 (no clue what maths they do to calculate that)
everything is similar in game about stats, mana,gems level etc

[atomic halo]

there's going to be discrepancies, yeah

config stuff, unimplemented stuff

[craggy hearth]

there is over 50k dps difference with a full stuff in pob and in game everything is similar

[atomic halo]

for example, i dont think ingame accounts for shock

[craggy hearth]

i disabled shock completely in both scenarios , but ye i dont know

[atomic halo]

if you want you can dig into the calcs and math it all manually to figure out what the differnce is

but i dont really see the point in doing that

[pastel valley]

OMG mine goes to 86%!

[craggy hearth]

you can try yourself with a lvl 21 spark in game and pob, only select intellect nodes ( 205) , and look at the difference in average hit

i would like to know the calculation of the average hit in POB in that case

[atomic halo]

its all there in pob

[craggy hearth]

the skill average hit? where ? i dont see it when mouseover

[atomic halo]

calcs page

[craggy hearth]

ye i am on the calc page : i see nothing with the average hit

in game i have 36 656 .5 ( 70079 + 3234 /2 ) , in pob i have 47533 which is not 70079 + 3234 /2

[atomic halo]

do you have the lucky node

[distant solar]

I thought it was the max lightning that wasnt affecting in game tooltip. Wild Storm?

[craggy hearth]

oh shit probably that , lightning rod

let me try again

[worthy hollow]

Im trying to try out a totem warrior, I know its not the best class but I have fun with it. And looking into it a lot of people seem to say all you need to worry about on your axes is kinda using them as like stat sticks, and the pdps doesnt matter and I just want to make sure that's true. Like is it better for damage to have two +7 to melee skills axes that are like 150 dps vs two +2s that are 650 dps?

[craggy hearth]

for totems only the + weapon skill works on weapon, ive tried pretty much everything

the % inc stun gems you socket on weapon seems to work but nothing else

[atomic halo]

the totems use their own weapons

not your mace

[worthy hollow]

okay so seriously just get 2 +7s that are like 100 dps and dont worry about dps at all

[atomic halo]

so dps on the mace literally does nothing

[worthy hollow]

gotcha okay

[atomic halo]

because the totems dont use them

[craggy hearth]

yes correct

[worthy hollow]

on the plus side those are damn cheap lol

[atomic halo]

big str req with giants blood

[craggy hearth]

depends, you need to paly with the triple str requirement on 2h so you need one with 80-90 str max

[atomic halo]

you want to get red. attr req on them as well if the base has a high str req

[craggy hearth]

and thats where its expensive

[worthy hollow]

I already have 640 str

you need 636 to use the top weapons iirc

i was using an earthquake/hotg build just wanna try something dif

[uneven flower]

what am i missing to get the sigil buffs?

[craggy hearth]

you need to cast spells inside it for 50% to your total mana cost for it to reach stage 1, stage 2 etc

if you have 1000 mana -> spend 500 mana, it will reach stage 1 and you gain x % spell damage, repeat 3 times

[uneven flower]

yeah i've casted all my mana inside it

multiple times

[craggy hearth]

you should see a number top left going up thats weird

[uneven flower]

there's no number it's stuck at 0

[narrow summit]

right but when does that happen?

[craggy hearth]

try iwth no gems etc in your hideout , and with no gear if possible , time to eliminate every variable ^^

[uneven flower]

still doesnt proc 😂
i've had it no issues on another char, so weird

[craggy hearth]

ye its strange, try to relog but honestly no dang clue 😄
for me it works fine , do a ritual and buy another sigil staff

[uneven flower]

yep just had to relog lol, tysm 🙏

[restive mortar]

you want +7s, any strength is bonus, if using avatar of fire you want weapon ele damage with attacks, and stun buildup/duration both work for totems

[waxen jewel]

Do time-lost jewels also have the +1 regular affix vaal outcome ?

[restive mortar]

yes

[lucid bobcat]

Is there a reason why my archmage spark stromweaver gets more dps from +1 all spell compared to +1 lightning spell in PoB?

I have no other spells active and im looking at the full dps

[waxen jewel]

FFS

If I see one more +%inc flask charges or crossbow attackspeed ..........................................................................................

Bad things'll happen

Though I hae hard time finding good spots for time-lost jewels without radius prefix

[craggy hearth]

should be the same, when i bought +3 all spell and +3 all proj, dps was the same

[waxen jewel]

There seem to be some on the witche's side of the board (everything seems to be that way). These are some of the better time-lost spots I've found:

And the first one being by-far the best IMO

[wicked tiger]

You get spirit from quests and some items

So whenever you get those things you can double herald

[narrow summit]

Ok and if I’m at act 3 when’s the next spirit boss

And dual herald will also make it so crazed frenzy will work with charged staff right?

[wicked tiger]

I think act 4 and 6 have spirit quests as well

Do you mean combat frenzy?

[waxen jewel]

They went to more expressive/artistic/good/whatever direction with the shapes on the passive tree, but as a side effect it's unintuitively unbalanced, because many jewels barely scrape by and manage to get like 5 more good nodes inside than others. Whereas with the more symmetrical poe1 design, jewel radii were more obvious IMO

[narrow summit]

Yea

Also where do you trade in this game?

Like what site

[waxen jewel]

But they'll revamp the tree a hundred times from now so I'm not worried, but they did introduce a new problem

[pastel valley]

where do you find your accuracy rating?

[wicked tiger]

Yeah you can use combat frenzy with the resonance node to change frenzy charges to power charges

Google POE2 trade site

Should be the first result

[waxen jewel]

pathofexile.com/trade2 is the poe2 one

[craggy hearth]

the maximum skil llevel is 30 ? with all boosts

[static torrent]

The King in the Mists won't give extra Spirit in Cruel, only the Ignagduk the Bog Witch will.

[craggy hearth]

spark doesnt gain any damage with lvl 30 ( 21 + 4 + 3 +2) and when you add +1 lvl with the arbiter jewel i dont see any diff in damage , thats a bit stinky because i spent 39div for it

[pastel valley]

where do you find your max accuracy number?

[waxen jewel]

Speaking of charges, by far the coolest way I've seen Endurances generated is by using Profane Ritual + way to trigger poison + Corrosion for Poison = armor break + break endurance for armor break = endurance charges

[waxen jewel]

You find it by looking at the detailed view of any attack skill

It's really annoyingly hidden

There's no "max accuracy" there's simply accuracy

[pastel valley]

yup i checked. i can't find it. unless i'm having a dyslexic episode

[waxen jewel]

But yeah there's RNG so I get your point

[pastel valley]

see not here

[waxen jewel]

In the damage subsection

[odd charm]

Has anyone here done a no hit sekemas run? Any advice on relics I should be using?

[pastel valley]

yeah i knew i was having a dyslexic episode... thanks!

boy my accuracy is really low

[waxen jewel]

Nope, but I've done the content itself lot recently just to get jewels

[odd charm]

I’m trying to do no hit for last flame. To broke to pay for temp

Any advise

[waxen jewel]

Most important affix on relics is +# merchant choices, which let's you find the reduced priced boon ASAP

But you probably have perfect ones in trade leagues anyways

Avoid floor 2 gauntlets

I'd say those can be the most difficult ones

Why not just do a few regular practice runs and see if you get hit?

[odd charm]

I have been running it

Closest I got was no hit to 4th room.

[waxen jewel]

Blink + regular evade is pretty much must on different weapon sets

[odd charm]

Got smoked right away

Yup I’m using blink

With 2nd wind

[waxen jewel]

+0.Xm dodge roll distance gives you few shortcuts more, but I find it annoying when doing regular dodges around fire turrets

[odd charm]

So the goal is to buy out the vender ?

[waxen jewel]

There are ways to gain partial invulnerability at least (3)

But Idk how those interact with the temporalis challenge run

I don't know if it counts as being hit, but those are something to keep in mind anyways

Action speed debuff to enemies gives you more time to avoid BS

The boon I mean

[odd charm]

Ok

[waxen jewel]

I assume you are playing relics that give you +merchant choices and reduced prices on merchants.

I'd say that the amount of choices is vastly more important if those are expensive budget

You need the thing to reduce prices anyways

Floor 2 boss just did an attack after dying (at least I felt like that), so be careful, it may be buggy

[odd charm]

Ok I got it

Thank you for the advise

[waxen jewel]

I've been honestly enjoying that content just because I can finally have some movespeed lol

That's the biggest reason anyways

And I like grinding

gear games

[night socket]

Would "Triggered spells deal increased spell dmg " jewels work on choir of the storm when triggering Greater lightning bolt skill?

[waxen jewel]

Yeah, I think the language is pretty clear

The word Trigger is underlined and capitalized meaning it's the same familiar keyword you've seen elsewhere

Btw, Im curious, how does it look like it the skill menu?

Is there some special icon for the "trigger" itself like there is for cast-on-crit and friends?

Basically, does the "Greater Lightning Bolt" take a socket or can you put 5 supports to it?

[restive mortar]

it doesnt

you can see by the implicit it "grants greater lightning bolt"

it doesnt grant cast on crit greater lightning bolt

the trigger is on the amulet not the spell

[waxen jewel]

Yeah I kinda figured that must be it

Like it just grants skill like any other, it just has some other business later about tirggering

[late fiber]

Any1 got a ranger leveling build

[velvet cedar]

Looking for a good Chronomancer Magic Find build, anyone?

[odd charm]

You know if % to defense is good?

[waxen jewel]

UMM

Depends on how much you have stacked your defenses already

[odd charm]

Or I suppose that wouldn’t matter trying to do a no hit huh

[waxen jewel]

Like if you already have 400% inc energy shield, not really

Cause it just adds up to that

And yeah

To be clear, I haven't done a no hit run, but generally don't get hit that much anymore

Knowing where the enemies are sure helps a lot

Even in Hourglass rounds, the Rares spawn always at same points AFAIK

[odd charm]

Ok

[waxen jewel]

%inc defense is just %inc evasion, %inc armor, and %inc energy shield

[odd charm]

Ahh

You happen to know to passive node turns es to mana?

[waxen jewel]

But there is a modifier that reduces enemy damage, in the 1x3 vertical relic

But like you said, it wouldn't help, except maybe evasion

[late fiber]

Any1 got a ranger leveling build

[waxen jewel]

Pick a skill, and keep your bow as upgraded as possible

Look for irong rings

Shop, shop, shop

90% of your items come from shops during the campaign, the monster density is just so low

[haughty hemlock]

what do cull auramancers annoint on neck? im thinking ice breaker

[lost sequoia]

Has Demon form gotten any fixes/buffs as of yet???

[olive river]

is it fine that i take block chance as another defensive layer without the stun reduction

or is that gonna get me killed more often then not

[hallow vault]

this thing devours my mana, should i redo passives to make it work or just sell it?

[craggy ice]

or downlevel your primary skill

[atomic halo]

downleveling is a pretty legit strat

[halcyon bobcat]

Warcry related passives on one weapon set does not seem to take effect on the other weapon set?

[atomic halo]

you can only have one set active at a time

[halcyon bobcat]

I though I could warcry on set1, then all its empower effects carry over to set2

Well at least Vocal Empowerment is confirmed to carry over

[atomic halo]

i would expect stuff that affects the warcries directly to snapshot

anything else no

what modifier are you specifically having an issue with?

[halcyon bobcat]

Passives that make "empowered attacks deal x% increased damage" "Empowered attacks have x% increased stun buildup", stuff like those

[atomic halo]

i dont think that should work

because it doesnt affect the buff from the warcry

that's the thing that's carrying over from the swap

inc damage modifiers are calculated when you hit the enemy

long after you swapped

@halcyon bobcat

[halcyon bobcat]

So i guess the alternative is put warcry cooldown, speed, area on one set, then the "empowered attacks do x" stuff on the other set?

[atomic halo]

yeah

[narrow summit]

for black sun crest wrapped greathelm, whats the min stats i should see before i go and trade for it

[craggy ice]

depends on budget

min for me is 15-16% int/dex though

[narrow summit]

ok, how much ex is that?

[craggy ice]

like 1 div for 16%

[narrow summit]

ok

[narrow summit]

yo just got one with 15 percent dex 12 int for free, w?

[craggy ice]

uh

its prolly worth like 5-10ex at most

thats nice though

[narrow summit]

alr cool

soulcial, whats the set everyone running late game on legion gemling

[atomic halo]

howa morior pillar astramentis double breach rings ingenuity

[narrow summit]

and all of these are level 51+ right?

any budget items i can get? at lvl 40 rn

[craggy ice]

pillar i guess

you really want a decent howa, ingenuity, and rings for optimal damage

[narrow summit]

i got it

[craggy ice]

morior is a very wellrounded piece that can also increase attributes, so it helps with sustain since most of your stuff is uniques

ideally you want a 5 slot with +attributes and +elemental resistances

[narrow summit]

what level item is that?

[craggy ice]

but it can get pretty expensive

65

[narrow summit]

alr ill get that once i get there, for now i just need some dmg increase budget items

[craggy ice]

as a baseline you want howa, pillar, and ingenuity + some decent rings

dont even think about astra yet

[narrow summit]

dont even know what that is so im on the right traack

whats ingenuity again?

[craggy ice]

ingenuity is a belt that increases your rings power

[narrow summit]

ahhh right

[craggy ice]

its the best belt in the game right now

[narrow summit]

its like 10 divines thoooo right?

[craggy ice]

you can prolly get a usable one for <3 div

[narrow summit]

ok one more question

[craggy ice]

its good bc rings can roll stuff like attributes and dmg

[narrow summit]

is it better to buy cheap and min max yourself, or just buy quality?

[craggy ice]

just buy quality

quality is the price that people put whilst actively farming it

[narrow summit]

ok

[craggy ice]

its harder to farm each thing yourself than to farm currency to buy everything

[narrow summit]

so its alr better than what ill prob min max it 2

ahhh ok

i get it

so what should i do for now at level 40 until i get to 51?

[craggy ice]

are you still in campaign

[narrow summit]

yes

[craggy ice]

just prioritize finishing it for now lol

[narrow summit]

ok

[craggy ice]

if you dont really care for the campaign you can skip the majority of content

[narrow summit]

i think i should be fine i have some dps lined up for when i can use both heralds and combat frenzy w charged

[craggy ice]

yeah

campaign isnt too difficult imo, especially when you're playing a meta build like this

also for the rings make sure to look for cold dmg on attacks and attributes

[narrow summit]

yea i just made the mistake of doing it for my first build

ok gotcha

are the rings i need also 60+?

or can i get them now

[craggy ice]

no

you can get them now

[narrow summit]

alr perfect

what rings are they?

[craggy ice]

just normal rings

search smth like this in poe2 trade site

and play with the numbers until you find some with a price thats doable and numbers seem decent

[narrow summit]

ok and for my stats, im sitting at 138 strength 107 dex aand 52 int, what should i prioritize right now?

[craggy ice]

if you're looking to clear campaign asap stacking strength is the most efficient

[narrow summit]

ok

[craggy ice]

once you get howa you want to stack dex/int and aim for 500 dex/int

[narrow summit]

wait both or pick one?

[craggy ice]

500 of both yeah

[narrow summit]

ok but do dex first right?

or both at same time

[craggy ice]

both at the same time

[narrow summit]

oko

[craggy ice]

im not sure what the exact ratio is though

[narrow summit]

alr no worries

[craggy ice]

depends on your rolls and tree and all that lol

[narrow summit]

right

damn

i just learned so much

thanks to you

appreciate it

[craggy ice]

dw lol

hope you have fun

[craggy ice]

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Standard/JlR8y4Jcl

also these are the filters for searching rings

[narrow summit]

i will lmao

went meta first build for a reason lol

[narrow summit]

goat

[craggy ice]

meta is lwky more fun imo especially since its EA

a lot of the offmeta concepts just dont have enough support built in yet

and you end up progressing substantially slower

[narrow summit]

yea thats what i figured

surely they gut this build tho on release or something

[craggy ice]

definitely lol

they'll probably gut it by next league

[narrow summit]

yea

also ring wise what am i looking for

1- what

like for ex 3-7 cold dmg

[craggy ice]

for stuff like that they take the average of the dmg

[narrow summit]

ok

[craggy ice]

so if a ring does 3-7 cold dmg it would be (3+7)/2 or 5 dmg

[narrow summit]

alr

[craggy ice]

you'd probably want smth with 20-30 dmg

and 50ish on attributes sum

[narrow summit]

so just cause im slow what would 20-30 dmg be in the other term

[craggy ice]

more attributes = more combat power, more cold damage = easier herald procs

[craggy ice]

like for the max?

you'd put no limit on max

and for min you'd put smth between 20-30

[narrow summit]

nah like how you said 3-7 would be 2 or 5 dmg

[craggy ice]

uhh

say a ring gave this number

[narrow summit]

right

so thats what im looking for?

[craggy ice]

when searching for it you would take (26+34)/2 to find the average

so you'd be searching for a ring that does on avg 30 cold damage to attacks

[narrow summit]

ok got it

thanks

[marsh carbon]

Is it feasible to get 100% temporal chains with some weird build?

[craggy ice]

i dont think so

even if there was enough stuff to stack

it would be increasing the effect by a %

[marsh carbon]

Right the base

[craggy ice]

so eventually you'd be at a theoretical 99.99999999% slow

[marsh carbon]

Realistically it’d prob cap at 70% if they’re lucky

Gotcha thanks!

[craggy ice]

perhaps lol

never looked into it though

[narrow summit]

ok

how we lookin on this one

[craggy ice]

you'd want some higher numbers on the attributes

[marsh carbon]

I’m messing around with my adorned on a Chronomancer stacking aura effect and it’s at best 63% right now.

[craggy ice]

smth like 60 as the sum

[narrow summit]

so in this case it would be 60 strength?

[craggy ice]

i would use a weighted sum stat group like this

[narrow summit]

alr awesome

obv this one is too high level but something like this right?

maybe swap out strength with dex?

[craggy ice]

yeah smth like that would be fine

also its probably gonna be impossible to find a ring thats immediately equippable and has ideal stats

im not sure what the range is but you can just lower the numbers until you find one you can equip and hopefully isnt too expensive

[narrow summit]

yea im seeing this lmao

rough

[craggy ice]

its bc the affix rolls scale off item level

[narrow summit]

yea]

also at what point will the movement speed pick up

like right around lvl 51-65 mark?

[craggy ice]

tempest flurry moves you forward when you cast it

so when you get howa and have a ton of attack speed

you'll start moving fast by holding down tempest flurry

[halcyon bobcat]

Does Surprising Strength (more damage against Heavy stunned enemies) also affect the attack that caused heavy stun?

[willow lion]

for whatever reason i cannot add the culling strike support gem to anything even though i dont have it used anywhere

nevermind i had it on

mb

[olive river]

is chill a hinder?

or is hinder its own thing

[craggy ice]

hinder is its own thing

[olive river]

ah ok ty

[narrow summit]

do i really need to wait to get resonance in order to use charged staff

[leaden salmon]

You could also just pick a skill that gives you charges

Instead of relying on Frenzy to convert

[narrow summit]

Yea but I don’t wanna use the palm one again

[leaden salmon]

Then look for others that also give charges

[narrow summit]

Alr, any good ones you know of?

[leaden salmon]

Look under quaterstaff skills there is like 15 of them

You should be able to find one if there are any

[narrow summit]

Awesome

Thanks

[leaden salmon]

There isnt 15 of them that gives charges.

[narrow summit]

Yea Ik

I’ll find one dw

Thanks for the help

[leaden salmon]

You dont need charged staff for non pinnacle bosses btw.

[narrow summit]

What does that mean?

[leaden salmon]

Att stacker build for gemlin/monk clears maps just as fast

Charged staff isnt needed for regular mapping

[narrow summit]

Ahhh ok

Just bosses?

[leaden salmon]

Real bosses, not map bosses

[narrow summit]

Ok

[leaden salmon]

Map bosses die fast without it also

[narrow summit]

Alr

[leaden salmon]

Made a low/mid budget gemlin 3 days ago he does 350k dps now unbuffed

[narrow summit]

What level?

If it’s under 50 send me a ss in dms

Actually just send me a ss of the gear and stuff in dms if possible

[leaden salmon]

Im level 94

Please note that when I say low/mid budget I mean under 100 div 😄

[muted birch]

Unexistent budget almost

[warped jackal]

Is there a way to let minions do chaos damage? I want to go for acolythe but with minions

[leaden salmon]

This late into EA 50-100 div for a build

is not unrealistic at all

If you played since start

[muted birch]

Yeah im joking

It’s just that I see still friends of mine fiending for 1 divine

Low budget for a lot of people is like 5 div

[opal bobcat]

Can corrupting against the darkness jewel remove a modifier / lower its stats?

[tiny swallow]

Planning to swap from staff to wand, wondering if the wand to the left is better than the staff on the right?

For Spark Stormweaver

[leaden salmon]

Put them both on and see what it does to Spark damage

[tiny swallow]

It's not in my possession currently sadly

[leaden salmon]

Use PoB

[tiny swallow]

Ah gotcha tysm!

[halcyon bobcat]

If I combine cultist greathammer splash, trampletoe overkill area, impact shockwave aftershock on heavy stun, and Herald of ash, will the hits quadrouple dip on clustered enemies?

[fringe lagoon]

For sure - you should also account for focus/mahux off hand

[leaden salmon]

Dont go Mahu early on

Waste of dps

[fringe lagoon]

Well if you run 0ES build you might wanna go Mahu to have enough mana to not be insta killed by bosses, even at a small dps cost

[broken eagle]

are there any high end gas grenade mercs here who could answer me a few questions?

[static spade]

Is this per undead minion alive or just reserved?

[hybrid ocean]

Should be easy enough to test

[cold pelican]

I'm looking for some folks who enjoy a bit of theory building.
Not just running of off build guides.

[hybrid ocean]

What type of build are you contemplating?

Rather, what's the central mechanic?

[outer mantle]

my reapers invocation stacks up to 100% but never procs. ANy help as to why. i should have enough energy based on the cast time of ritual

[hybrid ocean]

Invocations don't proc automatically, you cast them yourself

But they have no cast time

[outer mantle]

holy shit you might have saved my build

[hybrid ocean]

Worth noting that you should be able to use it at 20% if that's the only spell socketed in there

Iirc reaper's is 500 max energy, right? Or 600 at max quality

[outer mantle]

500 yeah

[cold pelican]

Kinda wanting to go down a traditional WoW Paladin build.
Not a tank per say.

[hybrid ocean]

I'm not sure what exactly you have in mind or want out of that

The closest I can think of would be a shield + wand setup of some kind

[silk flame]

So I'm looking to get some new weapons for my titan warrior and was wondering how I should value + melee skills vs raw dps. Is there a multiple I can carry to tack on the base dps of a weapon to account for the additional skill level?

Edit: for example, if a mace has a total dps of 700 with no melee skill bonus and another has a total dps or 400 with +6 melee skills, is there a calculation I can do to translate that 400 into what it's actually providing after accounting for the gain?

[finite mica]

Old poe1 hard grinder, im looking for a BL CoS anything, finding the idea cool. I have almost to no currency rn, so i dont think archmage angle is possible.
Any build to play this as a new comer? Maybe life based or hybrid to avoid full ES stuff? I heard mom eb ci was ultra meta

[hybrid ocean]

https://poe2db.tw

If you want something that does this for you, set it up in path of building

[silk flame]

Sick. Thanks dude

[silk flame]

Is there a way to pull up my character on the path of exile website while im not home? I only see POE1 characters / inventories listed.

[hybrid ocean]

if there is I don't know of it

[jovial blade]

does a 3 projectile means i have triple damage?

[hybrid ocean]

In most cases, no.

[jovial blade]

so multiple projectile cannot hit a single target at the same time?

[tall valley]

i want to start a build but before i do

assuming i got every perm buff in the game what would my default resistances be

[potent swift]

Any Chronomancer players here? I want to roll one but I can't figure out the best way to use the ascendancy unique stuff. Any fun builds that are not ungodly expensive?

[mint summit]

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/guides/permanent-buff

[mint summit]

First step to chrono in the current state of the game is accept that stormweaver will have higher damage (especially elemental). Second step is to find the cool stuff that stormweavers don't really want to do (non-elemental spells, literally anything besides mana stacking lol). This is important to your mental health because stormweaver (esp Force of Will and double shock) is so overtuned for now.

ok THEN you get to use all the absolutely sick-nasty chrono CC and defensive moves

and you need to know that chrono is big brain many buttons ascendancy, bad for auto-bombing

[potent swift]

I am absolutely cool with that, always enjoyed playing the outsider builds. And it's not melee so it's automatically good lol. Any specific skills/weapons you'd recommend?

[mint summit]

how can i achieve this from zero?

i know its multiple divines build, but id like to play BL CoS LH, and i dont know how to start from level1, when to switch etc 😦

[gilded valley]

does anyone in here know how to calculate dmg for decompose?

[thin plank]

hello im new to poe2 and going for a gemling legionnaire and im on act 1 normal what venom should i take ?

[dim fox]

Is rarity important on a spark stormweaver ?

[near timber]

is this limited to 75%?

[leaden salmon]

Rarity is "important" on all characters

Think the general consensus is 150-200% rarity is fine

No reason to go higher unless you are building an aura/rarity bot

[fiery sable]

Guys, is there a way to import things from PoB to a maxroll or mobalytics planner to share with others? I saw that on mobalytics has a button for it, but it returned an error for me. Also, which one of those two would you say is the go-to for builds?

[atomic halo]

limited to your maximum chance to block

which, by default, is 75%.

[atomic halo]

maxroll

[fiery sable]

appreciate the feedback

[fiery sable]

do you know if we can import it from PoB? I know we can make a link on maxroll with our PoB char, but haven't seen a way to make an actual planner out of it

[zinc mango]

Would 2h maces have higher overkill damage, generally? (when compared to 1h)

[atomic halo]

of course, you're dealing more damage per hit

[atomic halo]

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

like this?

i dont rly use maxroll so im not sure

[zinc mango]

I thought as much, but i've been wrong about a few things i thought would be obvious, i just wanted to doublecheck myself

Thank you.

[fiery sable]

This just import it as a method to display our PoB to others, there is no way (that I can see) in which we can make that into a planner to share

[atomic halo]

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

what about this

[fiery sable]

it's the planner, but I'm trying to avoid making it both in PoB and in the planner, if there was a way to import it from PoB to the planner itself would be awesome

but I'll just do it manually, I guess

[ebon cipher]

WHOOOO~

[muted birch]

Calamity ring build

[fading flicker]

plzzzz should i be using perfect strike or rolling slam for "off-parry" damage on my magma b build ?

i feel like rolling slam is easier for clutch use

tho PS does ignite but doesnt MagmaBarrier also ignite cuz of insane fire dmg ?

[ebon cipher]

well i dont do any damage

[narrow summit]

will lightning infusion nerf my cold damage?

or vise versa

[late fiber]

Any1 got good flicker gold

Build

[atomic halo]

yes

[atomic halo]

yes

read the support

[narrow summit]

yea i see that but i was trying to figure out why i needed to nerf myself

is it so herald of thunder can proc shock?

[atomic halo]

yeah, if you dont have any flat lightning

usually you use cold infusion because you get lightning from howa

the thing with the heralds is that you have damage for days anyway

so you just get tons of clear with hot prccing hoi and vice versa

[safe shore]

I lucked out yesterday with a decent roll Temporalis on my stat stacking Flurry Gemling. Is there any way I can build an autobomber from this lvl 98 gemling with that temporalis?

[lusty plover]

is there any good armour which gives res to everything?

[hot dew]

does everyone use a shield with their witch infernalist build?

[restive mortar]

yes I'm using mahxuatl one for rarity+max fire res +all res

I'm capping up to 90% fire res to make use of the ascendancy that turns 20% of other elements into fire and cloak on flames that turns 49% of physical into fire

[broken juniper]

am i cooked

[ember parrot]

At least builds exported via PoB should have an "import build" option in maxroll.

Needs to be in the pob "folder" of the website
https://maxroll.gg/poe2/pob/izadp006

For PoB towards Maxroll, just go under import/export, then share, select your site and press upload.

[bright yew]

I'm putting in my info into path of building and it's about 20 mana short compared to the game across both weapon sets is there something i have missed or can it just be inaccurat?

[ember parrot]

Same base stats? Same int?

[bright yew]

ah fixed it the auto level had somehow missed a couple of levels throwing it off , my lightning damage seems tostill be a bit off and i can't spot any differences so i'll have to keep digging

[ember parrot]

Yeah, you can switch between auto and taken levels. Also, if you are not endgame or missed books that also will throw off your stats

[bright yew]

yeah it's just my damage that seems to be a little all over the place now but i assume the calculations aren't entirely perfect? as i have already seen one ability gem that isn't registering spirit costs correctly

[fiery sable]

they have, it's just not a planner

[ember parrot]

As I said, use PoB as the main planer, then Export/Import to share.

[fiery sable]

I get you, the thing is that I can't write on it to share thoughts and guides

[ember parrot]

Ah that is what you mean by planner

[fiery sable]

it's just a link inside a planner, which is OK, but we still have to write the planner itself (and effectively doing it twice)

[late fiber]

Any1 got a flicker strike build guide/vid I can follow

[fervent relic]

Looking for advice on endgame stormweaver upgrades for <5 div. Thinking my best bang-for-buck may be a 70%+ ingenuity belt, but open to suggestions. I have a 42% belt, but the rare one I have on actually gave more dps from mana. https://maxroll.gg/poe2/pob/iuagh00l

[floral folio]

has anyone made a cool ripwire ballista build yet?

[muted birch]

There is a lot to change

[fervent relic]

Yes, I know. Nothing is perfect -- its what I have and I'm currency-limited at the moment.

[muted birch]

I think for 5 div you better get new gloves and boots

[dim fox]

Is there any dps difference between a level 21 and 22 Archmage ?

[muted birch]

No

[fervent relic]

do you reccomend Kitoko's Current?

[muted birch]

Not in fact of damage

I think The damage increase to 10 is at level 26?

[dim fox]

ok, so a 20+1 corrupted + lightning mastery is useless

[muted birch]

Yeah

Just get it to 19

[dim fox]

no, 21 is usefull, from 20 to 21 i increase 20k dps

[muted birch]

19+1 corruption + lightning mastery

[dim fox]

yep

[muted birch]

The 20 spirit gem is expensive

Just that

[dim fox]

yeah, i have a 19+1

[muted birch]

Keep it then no need to upgrade

[dim fox]

ok thanks

[muted birch]

Yeah it becomes useful at 26 so you’d need a +3 archmage prism and a +1 skill corruption on The amulet

[fervent relic]

fax, what do you think of this set of boots? is this the right search? https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Standard/KaMDjQPu5

goes down from 35 to 25% ms, but adds a bunch of mana

[muted birch]

Get straight energy Shield boots

Not es and evasion

You’re losing 100 es at The minimum so 100 mana

Base so it’s more than 100

Same with The gloves

[fervent relic]

So this? https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Standard/wzQPJ9Kib

[muted birch]

Yeah exactly just try to get a bang for your buck in terms of resists mana and es

And movement speed on The boots of course

[fervent relic]

yeah, trying to keep rarity too

[muted birch]

It’ll drive up The price, i wouldn’t advise it with an early build like yours

Once you can do hard content easily then i’d start looking for rarity

Increasing The quality of The build is worth more than rarity for you atm since you need to juice or maps or do t4 bosses or sims before

[safe shore]

Allies in your Presence Gain 32% of Damage as Extra Fire Damage
Allies in your Presence Regenerate 1.9% of their Maximum Life per second

Does this include me? Do I get these bonuses?

[static torrent]

No, you are not your own Ally.

For future reference, a lot of this stuff can be confirmed by checking the nested tooltips.

[ripe seal]

Hi, I’m having an issue with scepter allies aura not affecting me. Is that normal?

Got one that is supposed to increase damage +80% and exit damage bonus +35% but has no effect when it put it on

[atomic halo]

scroll up

your question got answered right before you asked it

[ripe seal]

I’m blind

Thank you!

Omg wasted 10 divines on my ignorance

[hybrid ocean]

Time to make a minion build

[void osprey]

hey so i just got a stellar amulet, and from what i see they are decently expensive (in my eyes)
im almost done with Cruel Act 2 and im running a gemling pillar of the caged gods build
would it be wise to sell the amulet and buy Howa and Morior Invictus or should i just hold on to the amulet for the time being?

[craggy ice]

stellar bases go for like about half a div

people buy them to mass chance and hope for astra

its a chase item and the chance of you getting an astra is pretty nonexistent, so yeah just sell

[void osprey]

tysm for the advice

is 180 ex a good price to sell it?

[craggy ice]

go to tft discord

[void osprey]

tft?

[craggy ice]

there's plenty of people that WTB right away on there

[void osprey]

managed to sell it, tysm man ur a legend

cant wait to make my build stronger

[craggy ice]

nice nice

[restive mortar]

any easy way to get max chaos res?

i know atd but aside from that

[swift nova]

i need some assistance if anyone has some time

[latent bronze]

Ice strike invoker here....I changed hand of chayula to herald of lightning (just felt I needed the dps) and now I cant seem to get charges for Charged Staff -- I guess i never understood HOW I was getting those charges. Any thoughts? Didnt change my armor or passives at all -- just the skill gems

[modern tangle]

When you apply certain ailments

Just read the skill carefully

[latent bronze]

hmmm...I am re-reading it over and over lol. I just dont know how to make it better I guess

[modern tangle]

You need the aura... Damn forgot the name

[latent bronze]

combat frenzy?

[modern tangle]

Yes

[latent bronze]

just saw it's disabled -- prob my problem

idk what I did though lol. ty

[modern tangle]

That and the passive node

You probably reserved too much spirit

[modern tangle]

Check gems

[latent bronze]

yeah it is Precision doing it

wtf

oh

Herald of thunder...costs more than I expected

thanks

[modern tangle]

You need more spirit

No problem

[latent bronze]

yeah i need +3 lmao

damn

[modern tangle]

I think you can take the herald nodes

The ones far to the right

Should reduce spirit reservation?

[latent bronze]

passive?

oh let me see

yeah i may do those two top left and right

[modern tangle]

Yes

Unless you can find an upgrade item with more spirit

[atomic halo]

sure, freeze

if you're an attack build, yeah, it's going to be pretty hard to get spells going

you probably want to cast on freeze utility stff

like eye of winter

doesnt exist

[craggy ice]

erm

combat frenzy reserves 30 spirit

but you have a support gem that makes it cost +10 spirit

just take the support gem off

[latent bronze]

yeah i noticed that 🙂

ty

[craggy ice]

👍

[keen roost]

If I reduce my health to 1 could I hold demon form with 5 life per second?

[craggy ice]

no

[keen roost]

What? How

[craggy ice]

are you talking about chaos inoc

[keen roost]

Yes

[craggy ice]

if theres no life left to drain

demon form just stops

but it doesnt kill you

since it can never drain health while you're at 1 health it just deactivates

[keen roost]

Wait yeah I forgot it stops at 1

Dumb question but thank you for answering

[craggy ice]

np lol

[mental lodge]

The damage breakpoints are at 21/26/31, but a 22 could be useful if you have either +4 or +9 levels from wand, shield, and amulet, which are reasonable totals to hit

I have no clue what build would reach level 21 gem without at least +5 gem levels elsewhere

max rolls on those slots reach +10 gem levels and thats without more exotic options like corruptions

[fresh geyser]

Any infernalist witches out there building bombarding?

[tepid vortex]

level 22 is 4.95% mana usage instead of 5.05

no other use after 22 archmage IMO

[floral folio]

took me a while but i finally broke 700 spirit!

[queen cove]

guys i got a temporalis but i didnt think abt having enough spirit to keep archmage and blink both active and im missing 30 spirit now, dont want to change my amu and its giving me 31 so i need to make up 29 spirit at least somewhere else, anyone have an idea what i can do?

[wicked tiger]

Weapon swap blink

[floral folio]

grand spectrum spirit!

wait nvm thats not much

[queen cove]

weapon swap is a mechanic i fully do not understand

[wicked tiger]

You can have different sets of reserved spirit spells with your weapon swaps

I use that CDR shield on my weapon swap and blink

And I turn off my other spirit reserve skills like HOI and HOT

it takes getting used to but it’s second nature for me now

[queen cove]

oki ill youtube a weapon swap tutorial or summin

that was pretty simple ty for the tip @wicked tiger

[hybrid ocean]

So what, 300 from a sceptre, 50 from unique shield, 60 from amulet & chest each, 25 from a helmet corrupt, 3 grand spectrums and... where the hell is the rest coming from?

[past surge]

Can get +130 from Alpha with +30 spirit corrupt on helm, you also have the unique chest with +100 on it

[floral folio]

Oh I don’t have grand spectrums yet, I got a 218 sceptre, 121 chest, 100 helm, 60 shield, 65 amulet, then accendecy tree from internalize

From infernalist*

[hybrid ocean]

Oh, I forgot about Alpha's howl

Though I don't think double corrupts are a thing, are they?

[floral folio]

I was actually messing around with a bunch of infernal legion skeleton warriors it was funny but not sure if it’s effective yet

[past surge]

Nope, but the helm corrupt gives 20-30 flat

[hybrid ocean]

it's either 130 from the out of bounds roll, or 100 + 30

Yeah

[past surge]

The kranglediv would only hit up to 122

[fresh geyser]

Any infernalist bombering minion witches out there?

[hybrid ocean]

Kranglediv lmao

never heard it called that

[narrow summit]

whats the min reqs for howa

like what should i be looking for when trading

[autumn lava]

What Deadeye builds are you guys running?

[violet panther]

does unleash work with cold snap? its recommended so id like to think so, but how would it work since the first hit of it would consume freeze?

[cyan ginkgo]

Can i know ehen cna i need to switch my focus to mohu ?

[violet panther]

looked it up apparently it works. ig the first hit consumes the freeze but all 3 go off anywas

[cobalt berry]

Any minion build guys here? How i maximise my dps? + to minion,spirit for more arsonists, increased minion damage and attack Speed.

What i need to get more dps, playing first time a minion build 😅

[hollow bronze]

Anybody got a cheap Stat stacking build for monk? That can do T4 breach.. looking to change my ice strike to get better clear speed on maps

[silver urchin]

aw fuck wrong channel

[dense warren]

Anyone can help with choosing a quiver with Widowhail bow (248% bonus + 3 slots):
LA or Ice shot, but i will use cast on shock with lifetap + ball lightning (vaal -1lvl):

1st is obv better due to dps,

second will give me 45 mana on kill (13+248% = 45)

[woven depot]

5 div madness

[dense warren]

cheap or?

[clear sluice]

how can we improve on Grasping Wounds on blood mage

ie how do i make it work better or best support it

if i understand this, its a direct 25% less damage taken, after calculations? (not counting dots or ground effects)

[tight grove]

i suck at traps. whats a good 20-50 div build that can easily clear both trials asap? ones with tele/leap slam?

[full salmon]

if you run fast enough and have evasion, you can ignore traps pretty much

[stuck vector]

how do i make blink cool down go down fast?

[fringe lagoon]

ingenuity support gem, cooldown reduction rate on passive tree or jewels, temporalis robe (expensive), crest of adura shield

i have it on weapon set 2 and with a lot of cooldown reduction from passive tree and jewels I got it to 1.4s which is not too bad

[stuck vector]

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/profile/4d750e45-e58a-44e3-bddc-40d48587b4f1/builds/4b548640-8fe5-4f09-93f1-e62d3ebc4a84?weaponSet=set1 i am tryna do this but like the stuff i need is kinda expensive

when i watched the vid his blinking is instant

[fringe lagoon]

Well the build uses temporalis

Can't get instant blink without temporalis

[stuck vector]

i see

250 div+ is all i see

damn

[cerulean kraken]

Important note about grand spectrum – everyone wants 5% grand spectrum as there like end game choice, however picking up 3x 9% cold/fire/lightning resist grand spectrum gives the same total resist overall and 10% actually gives 1 extra resist, these are often much cheaper than 5% grand spectrums to provide the same overall effect
This (bolded) doesn't exist, right? But any idea what they are on about?
poe2wiki / poe2db only show 3 grand spectrums: resistance, life and spirit

Ah, maybe corrupted modifier

[shadow wave]

anyone into builds swap

gemling for blood mage

🤝

[dim fox]

Spark Stormweaver friends, can i see your wands ?

[fringe lagoon]

Buy me a drink first..

[fringe lagoon]

There ya go

[finite sluice]

yo willing to share on passives and items? trying to boost my gemling to get better damage so i can farm more easily with him.

[dim fox]

that's insane 😮

[drifting sail]

I’m using Funguns late game deadeye shock ranger. I’m not sure what else I can upgrade rn to increase survival. I have about 2 div to spend rn but the only things I can really upgrade at this point are out of my price range

[shadow wave]

i dont have time for this im sory

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/fubgun-attribute-stacker

but my build the same as this dud build

[formal oxide]

Hey does anyone know if pconc can fork ?

[minor thorn]

Hello guys, someone could recommend me some starter build for gemling legionnaire pls?

[waxen jewel]

Do the +%inc number of packs modifiers benefit league mechanics? I'm especially interested in breaches/delirium

Like pack size sure seems to, but IDK about number of packs or is that capped by the league mechanics?

Expedition obviously doesn't work with anything, but what about the others?

[fringe lagoon]

By the way you can go on Poe ninja, filter on stormweaver, order by DPS or mana and have a look at wands there

[stuck vector]

whats the best way to have less cooldown for blink build without temporalis (too expensive for me)

[delicate geyser]

Anyone have a good SSF build for sorcerer? I tried to message in their channel but it’s at capacity

[robust kiln]

Is it better to get elemental res to all on rings or one resistance specifically if using breach with ingen belt

[craggy ice]

it shouldnt matter

[delicate geyser]

All res takes up one modifier and it’s easier to keep them all even that way, but that being said it doesn’t matter too much

[robust kiln]

So typically its better to get all res to make it simpler on both

I see

[muted birch]

Is gain damage ass?

Never understood how it works but it looks like avoiding it is better

[craggy ice]

no but it stacks additively with other sources of increased damage, and because it is generally pretty abundant, the value of each 1% increase is pretty low relative to other multipliers

unless you mean extra damage

[floral folio]

can anyone help me with the math the game is doing?
but everyone that gets close is only getting 54 hp, that doesnt seem like half to me

[craggy ice]

extra damage is calculated separately from your damage so if your dealing extra cold damage but only have lightning damage increases you wont get much value off the extra cold damage

[floral folio]

https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1331012114378264648

[fringe lagoon]

For Archmage builds I believe it is really bad yeah, I weight it close to zero on wands

[waxen jewel]

Wait, gain damage is not as at all

It happens before +%inc and +%more damage because it's a type of damage conversion

So the "added as extra <type> damage" only benefits from +%inc damage to <type>

[muted birch]

Nice i understood nothing

Imma believe vomi

[waxen jewel]

But if your +%inc and +%more multipliers don't care about type "%gain as extra is great". For builds not having wands for example, monk starting area has one with gain +5% extra damage as cold notable is really nice for my deadeye

Because it effectively is +5% more damage

And that's about the same that level to a gem gives

Note though that "gain <type> as extra" stacks additively with other sources of it so it has diminishing returns

So like this node would be really bad for an archmage build

This:

[floral folio]

https://tenor.com/view/math-hmm-processing-gif-10273186

this is me when i see them type like that too sometimes

@waxen jewel do you know the formula for guiding palm healing? or a place where i can look and find it myself?

[thorn mural]

hi guys i want to use cast on shock for my full lighting monk build but it's saying missing socketed skill how do i fix it?

[fringe lagoon]

Have you socketed the skill that you would like to cast on shock?

[thorn mural]

yes i put 2 support gem and it's still not working

[fringe lagoon]

Did you put an actual skill, like say Spark?

You need something to cast on shock

[waxen jewel]

This item has poor description IMO. Stat conversions and gains are keyworded and well explained in-game, but this item uses this bit mysterious word "Granted". I'ts not obvious what number it is granting. Is it the base regen value or does it takes into the wielder's own temporary buffs etc.

[static torrent]

You need to put the Spark gem into one of the sockets for Cast on Shock. As is, it doesn't have a Spell to trigger.

[waxen jewel]

Have you tested the life regen by actually looking at the rate of hp regen or just the stat page? It might just be a visual bug, there are lots of those around especially with temporary buffs and toggles etc.

[thorn mural]

ohhh thank you so much

[waxen jewel]

To me "granting" allies stats means granting the life regen stat you have currently. I assume this is done before taking into account +%inc life recovery

[mint summit]

This can be tested by standing near two players with different %inc recovery

[waxen jewel]

If I were you, I'd try to test with any sources of +%inc/more life recovery disabled. Like this node:

AFAIK recovery rate applies to stuff like Recoup, Life flask too so it's a more broad stat. Also based on how flask modifiers work, It should be multiplicative with +%inc life regen

[shadow zephyr]

Need a little bit of help understanding the difference between 10% increased Attack Damage and 10% increased Global Attack Damage. Presumably, both is better, but it seems to me that "attack damage" would affect any damage done by your attacks, and "global attack damage" would affect... the same?

are they just two independently stacking properties that do the same exact thing or is there a different math step somewhere?

[placid meteor]

Is CI really that important on monks?

Thinking wether I should path up there or not

Otherwise I'll go down for something else

[dull shadow]

I am stuck at 9.5 millions dps on spark , hard to find better gear and tree

[floral folio]

ill test and get back to you thank you, all i know is i figured 50% of 200 would 100 but players aren't getting that

im assuming like 1% hp regen or something is messing with it

[robust kiln]

I mean it's really if you have enough es to deal with the hp nerf. Also it saves on you having to build chaos resist so up to you

Can make build cheaper since you don't need chaos resist

[floral folio]

so the 57.2 is the normal regen I give I guess? but that 93.6 is closer to what I think i would give to people but is there such thing as out of combat hp regen? @waxen jewel

and i have no life recovery its all Life regen .2% of life or 10% increase regen rate

[floral folio]

okay so the "Life Regeneration" Nodes that give me 10% DONT effect the guiding palm

wtf

[waxen jewel]

Okay so are you aware of the concept of "local modifier"?

[waxen jewel]

Please reequip and toggle the skill on and off for better chance of the shit to work
