[waxen jewel]

The numbers are misdisplayed all the time

That's why I suggested you go try and test the actual health gained by eyballing whether it matches the numbers

[floral folio]

yeah on the skeleton with having around 500 hp and 50 hp looks roughly like 1/10 hp ticks

and then on a totem cause it doesnt have its own hp regen

45.3 and each node i get that gives 10% increased regen rate doesn't raise that 45.3 after requipping sceptre, despawn and respawning the totem

and visually it looks like the healing is about the same as well

[waxen jewel]

The answer is "Yes", but there's one exception. If the +%increased damage is on a weapon, it modifies the base stat directly. This kind of modifier is called "local". You can that a base stat is modified by a local modifier if any of its numbers are colored blue. In any other case, "+%increased damage" and "+%increased global damage" are the same thing. IDK why they sometimes use the word "Global" for no reason, just adds to confusion

[waxen jewel]

Which skeleton?

What skill provides that?

[mint summit]

minion pact?

[floral folio]

just a basic skeleton warrior, level 7 485 hp

then being near me is giving him 45.6 hp regen

[mint summit]

or is that pact on spark and tempo on conductivity

[floral folio]

and i got it up to around 51 and watching his hp visually go up and down it looks like ticks of 1/10

which the math would make secnds if hes healing 50 hp per second and has almost 500 hp

[waxen jewel]

What content do you need more dps for? Just slam in temporalis or something for mobility, if you're overkilling everything anyways

[waxen jewel]

Yeah yeah, but this comes from gained skill and you are dual-wielding scepter's right?

I'm just investigating whether this has something to do with weapon sets

[floral folio]

weapon set 1 is guiding palm and merit of service

weapon set 2 is nothing just my fists

i can summon totem with set 2 and then swap to set 1 and look at the hp regen difference

and i have enough spirit to just have 1 skeleton to look at it as well

[waxen jewel]

Can you please restrict the Skeletal Warrior skill to weapon set 1 only

[floral folio]

okay

[waxen jewel]

Just in case

Honestly minions and weapon swapping is buggy as hell

[floral folio]

true

also do you think i sohuld unspec mass rejuvination for this test?

cause thats like another weird thing going on cause its giving hp regen as well in relative to my max hp

[dull shadow]

The new content that's coming you will need alot dps

[dull shadow]

??

[mint summit]

if you arent already, running minion pact would up dps, though it can be awkward in maps and needs some spirit investment. youre already on CI.

[waxen jewel]

I once played around with a convoluted setup with Sacrifice + Skeletal Warrior (from sceptre) + Cast on Minion Death with Profane ritual to gain power charges from weapon swaps. But I remember it being buggy as hell to even get the skeletons to summon at first place. It involved toggling and unequipping and reordering skills. Then occasionally it would stop working. IDK what made it work to this day.

[floral folio]

interesting

[waxen jewel]

One final thing I wanna check: give me the level of the skeleton skill and your max hp on the weapon set wielding the unique scepter

[floral folio]

there is something wonky going on with the hp regen paper wise too cause, basically i took everything off besides my own hp regen from the passive tree and the sceptre and go to 17.9 hp regen for skeleton, If I put on boots that give me 24, i would assume thats

oh wait as econd

[waxen jewel]

Umm, is there any campaign passives that may affect this?

I think those are only for flask regen

[floral folio]

17.9 + 24 = 41.9 then i divide by 2 thinking its 20.95 but i get 29.9 hp regen for him

buuuuut

17.9 + 12 (24/2)

is 29.9

so i guess there is that number

its divided before its added?

29.9 + ring that gives 4.3 life gives me 32

2.15 + 29.9

im happy im atleast finally getting some numbers that actually work thanks to your help lol

[waxen jewel]

Ohh so you mean, your flat + added life comes after the scepter buff?

[floral folio]

yeah it seems t obe that way

yeah it just worked

[waxen jewel]

I would bug report

I doubt that's for balance

[floral folio]

im at 32 flat, + put on a 5.6 life regen but if i half the 5.6 to 2.8 and it goes to 34.8

and thats what the skeleton has

[waxen jewel]

What you mean by "32" flat?

[floral folio]

that defintely sounds likea bug, my brain thinks it would be easier to just

oh my bad uhhh

[waxen jewel]

Do you not have any max health dependent regen?

[floral folio]

shit yeah i do i need to take some of those off and look at that as well

i shouldn't have said flat, it was more that anything like my equipment being put on that gives me any life regen

i have to Half whatever it is

and that is then added to what allies get because of the sceptre

it doesnt really look like its going off of MY actual hp regen

because im currently at 125.3 and half of that is not 34.8

[waxen jewel]

The internal name of that affix is "total base life regeneration rate per minute % granted to allies in your presence"

[drifting sail]

Think I can get a better quiver in late game for 2 div?

[waxen jewel]

@floral folio Okay so I'm trying the unique with a character with 0 life regen and it still gives life regen number for the skeletal warrior. And when I change the level of the skill gem, the life regen changes too. So idk

[fast glen]

i believe a buddy told me one of the life amulets is bugged and doesn't work properly, is that correct? and if so, which one is it?

[floral folio]

skeleton minions have a ooc healing

at level 7 skeleton warrior it was 97 hp for me

what level is your skeleton, just level 1?

[waxen jewel]

Oh okay

[latent holly]

a

[small pollen]

Making sure I understand but with my jewel here, all the skills within the circle are active?

[floral folio]

they are effected by your jewel, but you have to actually put a skill point into it

move your mouse over it and you can see it should have the added effect from the jewel you slotted

[floral folio]

so any notable passives that have a skill point in it will give you the effect unless that jewel works different from my understanding

[small pollen]

Ah okay. I was understanding it was always active.. first POE game for me lol.

[floral folio]

oh n oworries

congrats cause i thnk those are really expensive right?

for example you have leeching toxins nearby, if you mouse over it does it say you will get 4% int and dex from it?

[small pollen]

Yea, I got one that was +3/3 and sold it for 20 divine a few days ago, then found this one for sale for 25 divine 😛

[floral folio]

ooo hell yeah

[small pollen]

yea just got this skill with level up, so your right on certain noteable skills 😄

[floral folio]

awesome

[analog spoke]

anyone know what's consider a good hit dps in POB?

[waxen jewel]

Compare your PoB dps to boss hp

[floral folio]

where do i go for the bug reports? or is that on the forums

[small pollen]

Game hates me lol, let me do one map and crashed. 😒

[waxen jewel]

Okay so like 40 million HP for pinnacle bosses

[waxen jewel]

Forums I guess, I can help you with it

Just give the problem and steps to reproduce and developers are happy :)

[floral folio]

I found someone else made a post, I made a new one then saw theirs I just went to the forums page

thank you

[waxen jewel]

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-forum/2214

[floral folio]

they apparently had 1000+ hp regen and it only gives like 300 which sounds wild

[waxen jewel]

OHHHHHHH, what is this vaal -1 level thing? That's fucking genious

I need to go get myself one too

[sudden imp]

guys, what kind of stats would i be looking for on a blood mage

max life?

[waxen jewel]

Blood mage is pretty vague

[sudden imp]

ah

[waxen jewel]

But if you want to play something like that in spirit, choose infernalist

[sudden imp]

mmm, im going for a spark build, lots of crit, going with cast on crit and putting on choir of the storm

possibly also going with 3 dragons helm to freeze with cast on freeze(depending if cast on crit is better, if better, im staying with CoC)

i had an idea of putting trampletoe on as well to overkill frost wall on a cast on setup, i did need atziris actuity but its too expensive for me

to help with the health loss on skill usage

[prime oasis]

hi guys i have gemling end game and start now with stormweaver in the leviling can anyone help me with the right weapon and staff in link to buy it to kill fast and skip the acts fast ? ty

[floral folio]

got myself to 480 hp regen and the palm gives 158.9 to allies

wish it was better but its good enough

ty for your help!

[sudden imp]

yall does omen scepte malice skill go away in demon form on infernalist

[waxen jewel]

Isn't the demon form an entirely new 3rd weapon set?

So yeah it should go away

The debuff that is already applied to enemies will stay for the 1sec or whatever malice says though

[hybrid ocean]

How does controlled destruction work with flame wall?

If you fire a projectile with crit through it, does the fire damage buff get increased, and is it then unable to crit even when the rest of the hit crits?

[craggy ice]

im pretty sure controlled destruction only affects hit damage

so the extra damage flame wall is granting your projectiles wont be affected by it

it would only affect the dot damage flame wall does when enemies walk through it

thats why stuff like fortress is popular on flame wall despite the 50% less dmg with hits downside

[pastel valley]

anyone know a good spark sorc endgame build? i find the builds on Maxroll kinda sus

[hybrid ocean]

Ok, I've been experimenting with Trampletoe, and I think I'm in love

[hybrid ocean]

Does anyone know if Trampletoe's damage shares the type of the hit that caused it?
I.e. is it a spell or an attack, or neither?

[craggy ice]

neither i believe

you can still scale the damage though, which is why frost wall trampletoe can one shot bosses lol

[hybrid ocean]

I'm aware; I'm mostly interested in scaling the area size for clear, but a lot of the area nodes on the tree are type specific

[craggy ice]

trampletoe is just hit damage

[hybrid ocean]

I suppose that might just be the easiest way to check, but I don't have a titan leveled

[hybrid ocean]

That seems plausible, but do we have a source?

[hybrid ocean]

Not like it has to be a titan anyway, I'll respec my gemling to test this when next I boot up the game

[craggy ice]

poe2db says it just does physical damage, it has no attack/spell classification

attacks are defined as skills that use your weapon, and overkill cant proc archmage so its not spell damage either

i might be wrong actually ive never tested it

but i believe its neither

[hybrid ocean]

That seems likely then yeah

My thinking was that since it inherits the elemental type, it might inherit other qualities

[craggy ice]

ah

[hybrid ocean]

But it not proccing archmage is a pretty compelling bit of evidence

[craggy ice]

it doesnt inherit the elemental type

it just does physical damage

[hybrid ocean]

Wait wtf. I'm blind?!?

I am...

[craggy ice]

its okay lol

[hybrid ocean]

Well, I suppose I'll have to test then. Probably the most reliable way after area of effect is to use one of the nodes that disables regen and see how much I recover with Thief's Torment

It also seems relatively safe to assume it can't crit?

In any case, thanks for the help, I'll get back to you once I've tested it (even though I'm now fairly certain what the outcome will be)

[fluid anchor]

when should i consider transitioning to the endgame builds?

and is Demon form witch better or should i stay minion build?

[hybrid verge]

Anyone have tips on building a stat stacker sorc for leveling? I saw someone talking about it in global?

[pastel valley]

anyone know a good spark sorc endgame build? i find the builds on Maxroll a little sus

[void osprey]

hello, currently abit confused since im trying to cap my resistances without losing my damage

currently running a gemling stacker, pillar of the caged gods build

the problem is my rings, amulet, belt and shoes since the rest are uniques

[violet spoke]

use double socket howa/atziri (if using atziri) with ele res cores, use 4-5 ele res cores in your morior, get A LOT of resists on your amulet/boots

you can use a single ele res roll on your rings too, all res is very useful

but ideally you don't do that because attributes on breach rings is so strong with ingenuity

[void osprey]

the cores done, i cant get 5 socket morior since its way outta my budget

[violet spoke]

I see a howa and a black sun that could be double cores instead of 1

and if you still use a rare belt it should not be hard to res cap at all

[void osprey]

1 sec lemme check the price on howa and black sun 2x socket

[violet spoke]

I would also recommend fubguns guide, but it's fine if you want to use black sun crest

[void osprey]

im open to anything tbh just wanna get started on properly mapping

[violet spoke]

also, lightning + cold res is more important than fire, and you can get resists on corrupted jewels too

[void osprey]

wait i didnt know jewels also can do that

[violet spoke]

it's a corrupted enchant

not a regular roll

your current character looks like it's 5d or much less budget, if you're poor you will struggle (even more so when you swap ingenuity)

[void osprey]

yeah im not that rich, kinda been scrapping this build together slowly

i have like 2 divs left

[violet spoke]

you will need to farm up quite a lot

but yeah, people can't tell you what to upgrade without knowing your rares, but you should not be struggling to res cap without ingenuity (belt is an easy slot to get lots of resists)

and ideally you get some strong breach rings with high attributes (and some flat dmg potentially, you can use pob to find good weighted sums)

[leaden salmon]

Heard about PoB/Maxroll/Pob.inn?

:<

[void osprey]

whats that?

[leaden salmon]

A build planner. Enables you to just post a link so we can see your gear instead of 400 individual pics

[void osprey]

ohhh

mb ill try that instead

[tall bear]

is there a way to check how spirit is used?
I have 70/100 even if im not using any spirit skill

[static torrent]

If is says 70/100, then 30 Spirit is being used somewhere. Do you perhaps have a Persistent skill from an ascendancy or a Sceptre that you've put support gems into? Some can add a flat Spirit reservation to skills.

[tall bear]

ok I got it, it's the buffs in the various skills

cannibalism and herbalism

tyvm

[willow lion]

i was following this build: https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/profile/7bc53c6d-f248-41cb-be8d-15ac93f8c380/builds/7d519995-ea24-4426-8c97-7666efe955f8#passive-tree-0
and i die pretty easily in t15 maps and have trouble clearing mobs semi often, what am i missing (apart from the support gem slots that i cant buy) https://maxroll.gg/poe2/pob/sncgn0dt

[tepid flame]

As far as I've seen, it seems dodging and high damage is the better way to go, so I wonder if a shield build can compete in survivability and clearing compared to like a ranged character?

[hybrid ocean]

Well then I ask, why should a shield character not also be a ranged character?

Both sceptres and wands are one handed weapons, after all.

[silk flame]

I am building something like this (link below) and saw that the post selects "impact area" from the passive tree, but also appears to have annointed "impact area." Are you able to get a talent twice? If not, what would you guys recommend anointing in a Titan warrior / giants blood build?

Edit: working on getting a functional link...

[somber widget]

Can anyone help me with some numbers i should be hitting before taking chaos inoculation.. What is considered a good amount ES/mana before switching?

[hybrid ocean]

Confirmed

Took two attacks to get the whole wall to cascade, got 50HP- That's 25 from each hit via Thief's torment.

[inland nebula]

Does bleed work with Avatar of Fire?
Ele damage should work with bleed, but PoB shows no bleed no matter what unless I remove avatar of fire
(Blood mage ascendancy)

[abstract summit]

Ok so just general question what's my best bet if I want highest DPS

[restive mortar]

bleed is based on your phys damage

[inland nebula]

Read my post again. "Blood mage ascendancy"

[restive mortar]

no idea then

might just be a bug in pob

[inland nebula]

Someone else answered in another discord, Avatar of Fire sadly doesn't convert DoT Damage despite Avatar of Fire listing explicitly "Damage converted" and not "Non-DoT Damage" or better wording, so AoF doesn't work

I love GGG

Spongebob

[restive mortar]

ah yeah

[static torrent]

That's because Damage over Time cannot be converted, as said in the tooltip for conversion.

[inland nebula]

There's no tooltip in PoB

So saying "as said in" isnt a gotcha

Maybe something else is, Im a noob but hey

[static torrent]

Then that's on PoB, not GGG.

[inland nebula]

Or maybe GGG can still word it better

there's no tooltip in game

On Avatar of Fire specifically

So

[static torrent]

Would you prefer they change every single instance of 'damage converted' into 'non-DoT damage converted' instead of just stating it clearly in their explanation of conversion?

[red moat]

Anyone have a good ballista build?

[inland nebula]

Thats exactly what i said earlier, so, yeah.
I'd rather not have to dig into the archives in order to find context for something relatively simple

But hey, that's just an opinion

and others are entitled to their own

[echo elk]

from the depth of depravity, i've come up with str stacking puppeteer baron animate weapon of self reflection pillar of the caged god

[waxen jewel]

Does +%inc effect of explicit modifiers of waystones (from the atlas tree) also increase the %inc waystones that suffixes give?
I got a nice waystone and I'd like to milk everything I can for my citadel, because the fragments are so important

I was thinking of shifting those pack size mods for +%inc effect of waystone explicits on the tree and then running on of these

Has anyone cared enough of citadels to try to milk them this much? I don't want to buy

I did put +%quant and +%waystone_quant or +%boss_quant on every precursor tower I found

[river siren]

are there any unique vorana jewels or similar, that do anything interesting with dex?

i m thinking of going with quiver for spark build, and wondering if you can get some kind of use out of the dex on quivers

like there is one, that i know lets you get ES from STR. Commonly used by stat stackers who run CI.

[pine stream]

How does inevitable critical work? Does it give a guaranteed crit after 4 second? Or just double you existing crit chance after 4 seconds?

[static torrent]

It gives you 100% increased critical strike chance after 4 seconds. If your base crit chance is 5%, and you have no other modifiers affecting it, it would double that to 10%, but if you have other sources of increased crit chance, it would be added onto them.

[pine stream]

Got it! Thanks

[gloomy escarp]

Hello chat, what are great builds for ranger?

[abstract dawn]

You in maps already or still running the campaign?

[gloomy escarp]

very early in campaign yeah, just trying to see what path I should follow

[abstract dawn]

I ran this until I hit maps and went his end game setup https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/fubgun-live-starter

[onyx valve]

Is acrobatics actually worth using? I am 89% without it, 70 with it.

[gloomy escarp]

what is that

[onyx valve]

it's a passive that allow you to evade all hits, but reduces evasion rating by 70%

[outer valley]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irSVpWSGGsM is this a decent sekhema farming build considering it only because i already have a level 84 deadeye which i dont play anymore

[waxen jewel]

Great build I wish I could play: Queen of the Forest deadeye

[drifting sail]

Would anyone care to hop in discord with me and help me with my build?

[crimson juniper]

Trying to make a leveling pillar build that is more hardcore safe / noob proof. So far I've got pillar, polc, meginords, wanderlust, and ghostwrithe. Can yall think of any other uniques that I could get some survivability with?
I'm thinking maybe Goldrim, then treefingers so I can get a strong shield on to cover more ele res / block.
Do you think it will be possible to set up uniques only (outside of +dmg rings) that defensively last through act 3 cruel, or will I have to lean on rares for ele res capping?

[vast echo]

hi, total noob here. I just figured out meta skills and got super excited 😆 like a whole new world just opened up (noob excitement)
here’s my question: apparently socketing multiple copies of the same spell into the same meta gem works. but can I put more than one Cold snap into Cast on freeze = can you snap the same frozen enemy multiple times?

this game needs a training dummy

[vast echo]

on a 2nd thought I just remembered why I socketed 2 Comets instead cuz it’s better to greed some more dmg before snapping it manually
but I’m still curious abt 2+ Cold snaps

[midnight geode]

is this flat chaos dmg it adds?

[craggy ice]

no

[nova plank]

is this great for sekhema clearing ?

[craggy ice]

it takes 7% of your damage before modifiers

[waxen jewel]

Not really tbh

[craggy ice]

converts it to chaos damage

and then calculates that chaos damage separately

[midnight geode]

i see thx

so its still better than regular damage increases right?

like "30% increased damage"

[craggy ice]

depends on your damage lol

[waxen jewel]

I haven't used that, but sure why not. Sekhemas is just a running exercise

[midnight geode]

aight ty

[waxen jewel]

Yeah you first add your "gained as extra Chaos" (or any other damage type), before you determine which %inc damage applies

[craggy ice]

i forgot the exact formula but your dmg should be smth lime

raw dmg * increased dmg * more damage + extra dmg * increased dmg * more dmg

you cant really definitely say increased dmg is more or less valuable than extra dmg unless you have exact numbers

[waxen jewel]

I mean that if you have +%inc damage for physical spells and you then cast a spell that does 100phys damage, you gain extra chaos damage, but the chaos portion doesn't benefit from your wand (that gives the %inc phys damage)

Same for attacks, but I just couldn't think of a good modifier that isn't confusing

[nova plank]

i cant seem to understand what to do with the attribute nodes in this build?

[waxen jewel]

Yeah, and this is split into as many piles as needed

[nova plank]

what to spec into

int str or dex

[waxen jewel]

So if you do multiple types of damage, you want to prefer more generic %inc damage sources like %inc elemental damage or %inc projectile dmg, %inc attack dmg etc.

[waxen jewel]

What build are you trying to do

[nova plank]

this one

[peak otter]

Who will be the paladin to my behemoth.

[nova plank]

from what i can see majority of it goes to int and dex and some of it to str

[waxen jewel]

You do still wan't blink for trials to get through gaps

[nova plank]

yea

[waxen jewel]

Ohh okay, I can't speak for this build because I don't understand Trampletoe boots either

Seems like a bug abuse honestly. The ice wall/bone cage fragments are for whatever reason considered to be mininos and Trampletoe triggers the overkill. I wouldn't invest too much in a build that is almost certainly a bug

And even if the wall fragments were "Minions", they wouldn't be enemies and trampletoe only overkills enemies.

[simple juniper]

I do have a question, if anyone could answer: is Spagetification better than Overwhelming Strike on the Astramentis amulet?
Gemling ascenancy, on Mercenary

[craggy ice]

im pretty sure it was an oversight, but the way its designed makes it super awkward to patch lol

they already patched trigger skills from gaining energy through frost wall etc. so they definitely dont want it to be considered an entity, methinks its likely theyll patch it if they do get a chance

[drifting sail]

my belt has a lot of my resistances on it but my endgame fubgun build tells me to switch to headhunter belt. Is headhunter worth dropping some res?

I dont have the budget to get alot of res on my rings and stuff

[craggy ice]

are you doing high level breaches

if not, no

[signal sky]

how do u add a unique helmet in pob2

[craggy ice]

you can copypaste the item from poe2 into pob, or manually enter it by double clicking the item here

[dreamy portal]

anyone played arakaali before? very simple question, how do you get 100% chance to poison? (with regular araakali, not the legacy of phrecia ascendancy)

[craggy ice]

wc lol

[dreamy portal]

oops sorry

[pure laurel]

How do I add a gem to PoB? I'm trying to figure how to fix my build

ohhh wow thanks its so eazy lol i was doin it manually cuz i play on controller

[hybrid ocean]

Oh right, does skill effect duration work on purple flames of Chayula?

[sudden imp]

fellas. i want to make my spark shock really easily, what stats do i need in order to do so

[dull shadow]

several people ask me for my 9.5 Million DPS spark build. the reality is that 99% of people do not have the currency needed to make my build. However I have helped over a hundred people with Spark Stormweaver and I will show you how to make a build that requires no unique Jewel and no unique Gear capable of killing all the content in the game.

Equipment; ( helmet , armor , glove ) Maximum mana , maximum energy shield, increased energy shield, intelligence, for armor and helmet add spirit if you need it. and choose your resistances that you need.

for the belt, maximum mana and resistances you need.

for boots, movement speed, maximum mana, maximum energy shield, intelligence, increased energy shield, and finish with the resistances you need.

for rings the important stats are maximum mana, intelligence, mana regeneration , cast speed and the resistances you need.

for amulet; maximum mana, maximum energy shield, + spell skills, mana regeneration, intelligence or attribute, for anointed lightning rod.

for the wand and focus, Lightning damage and spell damage, maximum mana, + lightning skill for the wand and + spell skill for the focus , critical chance, and mana regenerate or cast speed.

For equipment, for those who can afford it, there is the affordable Midnight Braid belt, and for more advanced players, the Ingenuity Belt.

For rings, the best option is Breach Rings, and if you want a unique ring, the Dream Ring.

For unique armor, you can go for Morior.

For a unique shield, there is Mahu.

Then, there are the Unique Jewels, but that's getting into expensive territory.

Skills ; Spark , acceleration, arcane tempo, inspiration, considered casting, lightning penetration

Orb storm , lightning exposure, strip away, overabundance, overcharge, font mana

Conductivity , cursed ground, focused curse, hex bloom, heightened curse,

Cast on shock , lightning conduit, impetus, energy retention, elemental focus, if you have enough mana run 2x lightning conduit

Archmage, clarity , lightning mastery

Flame wall , spell cascade , fire mastery , intense agony

Sigil of power , persistence, magnified effect , unbreakable , wind wave

For Jewel ; spell / elemental damage , magnitude of shock, crit chance , skill duration , projectil speed... those kind of stuff

[late fiber]

Any1 got pillar leveling build for sorc?

[fringe lagoon]

Why not just share a pob instead of keep bragging about the 9.5M rmt dps?

[dull shadow]

@fringe lagoon i am old school and pob don't work on my phone , i don't have laptop or pc

[queen cove]

anyone know how to look for specific corruption modifiers on the tradesite?

if its a stat that isnt on the item by default, adding the stat makes the site come back with no results

[fringe lagoon]

Yeah you can just search for enchantments

[muted birch]

After that introduction i thought you were gonna say to use everlasting gaze

[dull shadow]

Lol i hate this amulet personally but you can use it yes

[toxic storm]

if i swap weapons do i keep this benefit?

[craggy ice]

i think so

[muted birch]

You keep it only on weapon set 2

[toxic storm]

meaning if i snipers mark with it then switch it doesnt snapshot

[muted birch]

I’ve no idea what you’re talking about, i just know that green nodes only Apply to your second weapon set

[toxic storm]

im asking if it snapshots on cast

[muted birch]

Snapshots? I know that you apply a status on an enemy with weapon set 2 it stays with that status even if you switch weapons

[toxic storm]

if you dont know dont answer

[muted birch]

Asking a general question and you can’t understand a general answer

Lol

[muted birch]

I answered that here btw

[toxic storm]

anyone who actually knows what snapshots and what doesnt have an answer

[muted birch]

I looked up what snapshot means and it’s exactly what I told you

If you apply that status it stays even if you switch sets

Not hard to understand

[toxic storm]

console gamers sigh

[vast echo]

guess my basic question was too advanced for pros

you were litterally wrong lmfao

[stuck vector]

i am doing a blink build whats a way to have less cooldown with out tempralis, its too expensive

[toxic storm]

i got my answer elsewhere thanks anyways

[fringe lagoon]

Cool down reduction on tree and jewels, ingenuity support gem, can consider crest of ardura shield

[hoary spire]

does quality (attack modifier) increase lightning damage to attack modifier?

[twin path]

Does anyone have any spare support gems and jewellers orbs I bricked my build so I’m respeccing but I run out of resources 😦

[pastel valley]

what build uses chaos spells?

[hoary spire]

does having corrupted on a skill gem mean I cant level it up anymore?

[mint summit]

No, you can still level it up

[hoary spire]

thanks

[radiant badge]

does anyone know if triggered skills work in PoB?

i can't seem to find an option for it

[inland nebula]

Am i just crazy? I've tried every search method possible, online or offline on trade site, and even used PoB weightings and my own etc
I can't find anything even remotely similar to this
This is what someone was using for a build guide im following
And both of their mace's half around 1-2 million more DPS than mine, each one alone effectively doubling or more than doubling my overall DPS with HoTG/Mace strike
I feel like this isnt even possible to get yet in their video, they clearly have it
I'm not using any level, or even price filters, and im even setting it to Any (offline/online)

[sudden imp]

guys, what determines how much energy can build up cast on freeze? is it that, e.g, i use spark with 3 dragons, the more damage spark deals = more energy buildup on CoF = more casts?

[keen zinc]

anyone has a autobomber temporalis build for lv 65 ?

[fast glen]

is it safe to assume the searing flame support gem on infernal cry will not scale the ignite of the empowered attack(s)?

[hybrid ocean]

It's not freeze buildup, and it doesn't matter how you achieve it; From what I understand, it just gives you energy when you damage an enemy and it goes from not frozen to frozen.

[craggy ice]

you gain 10 energy per 1 power of enemy when you freeze an enemy

more spark damage = faster freeze = more consistent energy buildup

ggg did say they made chain freezing harder so i cant say if it would necessary lead to a substantial increase in casts

[hybrid ocean]

How does Event Horizon interact with Chaos Innoculation?

Do you just die?

[craggy ice]

also fun fact named bosses have 20 power; if you have impetus slotted in for 40% increased energy, level 20 gem for 57% increased energy, and 20% quality for 15% increased energy (net 112%), you'd get 424 energy on freezing a named boss

so you'd be able to cast 4.24 seconds of spells

you can push this higher with passive skills and stuff too

[craggy ice]

im pretty sure it would round 0.03 to 0 so i dont think so

[hybrid ocean]

Anyone know where to find the datamining gremlins for this game?

[steady breach]

@hybrid ocean ^

[hybrid ocean]

I mean the people

Since the information I'm looking for is not on there

It's specifically the crit chance for a few things that don't list it anywhere

hi everyone, I was trying to create a ranger build that uses chain from terrain nodes and ricochet gem to extend the distance my projectiles traveled along with chaining a bunch. Would LIghtning arrow be a good skill to use for that kind of playstyle?

the projectile of lightning arrow (not the beam) cannot chain

whether it would be worth doing for the beams, shrug

[velvet basin]

is this worth anything

[echo trail]

So if I'm playing with a friend who does poison with another skill and I'm shooting vine arrow. What scales my __vines __damage ? (The 50 % of poison and the Base chaos damage per second)

Does it scale with attack damage ? Projectile Damage ?

[opal bobcat]

What's the difference from when an item says "% increased energy shield" and "% increased maximum energy shield"?

[tall bear]

hey there how do I know if a spell can crit?

what are the spells that can crit?

[idle goblet]

I'm not 100% sure, but i guess that increased ES is just local to the item and it increases the ES value of the item. increased maximun ES is for your char ES value instead ?

[atomic halo]

1. if it hits (you must hit to crit)
2. if it has base crit

most spells have base crit and will list their base crit somewhere on the skill

[atomic halo]

first is local second is global

local directly applies to the base energy shield of the item it's on, global applies at the end to all your flat es, after it's been scaled by local modifiers

[atomic halo]

the damage of the poison

whatever makes the poison that hit the vine big makes the resulting damage tht it deals big

[quasi pendant]

Hi

[atomic halo]

so if the poison-applying hit was from an attack, then attack damage, if the applying hit was a projectile, then projectile damage will work.

[quasi pendant]

I want help with skills the trial

oops sorry ^^

[midnight geode]

is this gonna add chaos dmg on top since its above 100%?

[atomic halo]

no

conversion above 100% gets scaled proportionally down to 100%

[midnight geode]

can u eli5? xd

[native bolt]

does bow count as one handed weapon?

[atomic halo]

no, it's two handed.

[atomic halo]

100% ele to chaos = 100% ele to chaos
50% + 50% ele to chaos = 100% ele to chaos
60% + 60% ele to chaos = 100% ele to chaos
1000% ele to chaos = 100% ele to chaos
1000% ele to phys + 1000% ele to chaos = 50% ele to chaos, 50% ele to phys
7500% ele to chaos + 2500% ele to phys = 75% ele to chaos, 25% ele to phys

left is the modifiers, right is how the game will calculate them

[midnight geode]

i get it now

thx

[bitter estuary]

If not the proper spot lmk (I see none on the trading website). If anyone has an advanced dual string bow (requirement lvl 55), it'd be super stuff I'll trade for it.

[atomic halo]

1. we dont do trades here
2. i find it extremely hard to believe that you can't find any dualstrings on trade.

[bitter estuary]

1. Ok sorry thanks!
2. Yeah it's weird I can find a bunch of other bows on the trading website, but no variations of dualstring bows no matter how I type it

[bitter estuary]

Oh finally figured out the mistake. Was on PoE 1 trading website by accident.

[midnight geode]

how do "cast on" gems work with multiple spells socketed? Do they add up all the energy needed for both and cast them all simultaneously? Meaning it also increases the time it needs to fill up the energy?

[dull shadow]

Yesterday I shared a build based on critical hits, Today I share with you an easy build without critical hits easy to do with a small budget.
°•the only unique needed is the controlled metamorphosis, massive ring•°
(no it's not my personal build, it's just to help people)

Equipment; ( helmet , armor , glove ) Maximum mana , maximum energy shield, increased energy shield, intelligence, for armor and helmet add spirit if you need it. and choose your resistances that you need.

for the belt, maximum mana and resistances you need.

for boots, movement speed, maximum mana, maximum energy shield, intelligence, increased energy shield, and finish with the resistances you need.

for rings the important stats are maximum mana, intelligence, mana regeneration , cast speed and the resistances you need.

for amulet; maximum mana, maximum energy shield, + spell skills, mana regeneration, intelligence or attribute, for anointed lightning rod.

for the wand and focus, Lightning damage and spell damage, maximum mana, + lightning skill for the wand and + spell skill for the focus , mana regenerate or cast speed.

For equipment, for those who can afford it, there is the affordable Midnight Braid belt, and for more advanced players, the Ingenuity Belt.

For rings, the best option is Breach Rings, and if you want a unique ring, the Dream Ring.

For unique armor, you can go for Morior.

For a unique shield, there is Mahu.

Skills ; Spark , acceleration, arcane tempo, inspiration, considered casting, lightning penetration or controlled destruction but Lightning penetration is better

Orb storm , lightning exposure, strip away, overabundance, overcharge, font mana

Conductivity , cursed ground, focused curse, hex bloom, heightened curse,

Cast on shock , lightning conduit, impetus, energy retention, elemental focus, if you have enough mana run 2x lightning conduit

Archmage, clarity , lightning mastery

Flame wall , spell cascade , fire mastery , intense agony

Sigil of power , persistence, magnified effect , unbreakable , wind wave

For Jewel ; spell / elemental damage , magnitude of shock , skill duration , projectil speed... those kind of stuff

[onyx valve]

if a passive refers to 'full life' or 'low life', that only means LP right? not ES+LP?

[hybrid ocean]

Yes.

Is crit rolled for the attack or for the hit? I.e. if I hit multiple enemies with a single attack (or spell), can it crit only some of them?

[onyx valve]

I think it depends on what skill you are adding the bonus to.

[gray hull]

anyone have any advice for a spark using gemling? I know it's about int stacking so I got a mana + attrib morior and have a good ing belt

[static torrent]

One thing you can check is for the Sustained keyword on the skill. If it has it, then each hit is rolled separately.

[atomic halo]

i believe it's per skill use that crit is rolled

[hybrid ocean]

Great

Followup question, are things killed during a frame, or between them?
Like, for the purposes of things like Trampletoe, can multiple different instances of damage hit on the same exact frame, even if the first few would've killed it?

An example still using trampletoe:
Enemy has 100 health, we hit them with 3 grenades that deal 75 damage each, and detonate at the same time.
Trampletoe does 30% of overkill to adjacent enemies;
Will the overkill be 50, from the second grenade taking life from 25 to 0, or 125, with all three grenades taking life from 100 to 0?
The difference being that in one case trampletoe will deal 12 damage, and in the other 37.5

[weary fox]

does anyone know if PILE ON passive works for shockwave/ancestral totem dmg when armour is fully broken?

[cold marlin]

I have a question about poison damage.

[leaden salmon]

Ask the question 🙂

[cold marlin]

Is effected by the chaos damage passive nodes

Because it says it does a percentage of physical damage done by the attack as chaos damage over time.

[atomic halo]

it depends

if the portion of the damage that inflicted the ailment is chaos, that portion is increased by inc chaos damage

and the resulting poison will be bigger

if the damage that inflicted the damage is physical, it will not

[cold marlin]

Ok thank you

[atomic halo]

if it's phys and chaos, it's split accordingly

[cold marlin]

Do you have any recommendations for passives for doing poison?

[radiant badge]

Does anyone know how to see stuff like how much bleed you're doing to the target enemy on Path of Building? I can't seem to find it anywhere

[atomic halo]

should show in a few places

calcs

full dps

and bleed dps at the top of the left box

[radiant badge]

did i muck it up somehow? i don't see it heree

nor here

[atomic halo]

do you have enough bleed chance?

[radiant badge]

yeah, blood mage bleed

enemy set to "is bleeding" as well

[atomic halo]

you still need chance to bleed

that node allows ele dmg to contribute

but bleed always needs flat chance to bleed

[radiant badge]

does this not count?

that's what i meant by blood mage bleed haha

[atomic halo]

hm im not sure

try adding 100% chance to bleed in config?

[radiant badge]

oh, that made it appear!

should i just manually set it there then? or does PoB know that it doesn't work

[atomic halo]

not sure either, maybe there's something weird with the "on critical hit" bit

as long as you're confident that you're bleeding its fine

although only 15% is not good

as only highest bleed applies

[radiant badge]

gotcha

why is it not good though? im confused

as in why would a higher bleed chance be better?

don't i just need it to trigger at least once every few seconds (and it only triggers on crits) so the bleed amount is enough?

also totally not related question: is comet better with cascade and magnified effect so that the comets overlap, or better with considered casting and concentrated effect, if we're only considering these gems?

[atomic halo]

yeah i guess

depends on your cast rate and your damag variance

[radiant badge]

gotcha

[hybrid ocean]

Well to start with, we can trivially eliminate considered casting as an option if you're investing into crit

[azure crest]

If I have a skill gem that is at 21 with global modifiers. Will it matter if I upgrade the gem itself more? Like I have a level 17 and I have +4 global modifiers to make it 21. Is there any point to upgrading the gem to lvl 18?

[atomic halo]

yes

it will go overcap

lvl 21 + 4 = 25

[radiant badge]

ah sorry i'm doing cast on minion death so casting speed isn't an issue

[hybrid ocean]

Oh, I'm silly, I confused it with controlled destruction somehow

[proud sorrel]

Anyone know of any uniques that increast spell cost, or reduce mana?

[wary viper]

is it worth getting more than 50% "damage penetrates resistance"?

[pastel valley]

i don't understand why not all builds that use Flame Wall slot in Spell Cascade... it's so good it's even free!

[safe finch]

if i use lightning rod with a bow then use a crossbow to trigger the chaining with galvanic shards. Does the chaining damage depend on the bow or the crossbow?

[hybrid ocean]

The damage the lightning rods do when they explode is their own.

[hybrid ocean]

Afaik going through multiple flame walls doesn't do anything

Unsure about mobs standing inside multiple, but I strongly suspect that it's the same

[pastel valley]

my thinking is the additional flamewalls generated by spell cascade make it more probable that sparks will travel through them

does the reduced damage from spells cascade also reduce the additional damage of spark projectiles?

[old shuttle]

just cast circle flame wall on top of yourself

[late citrus]

I used spell cascade for most of my leveling then swapped to fortress when I had to move cascade elsewhere.

Fortress is easier to control where it lands and that control more than balances out the smaller area of impact.

[pastel valley]

i use both fortress and cascade

Unnecessary support slot if you use flame wall simply to proc raging spirits, as the additional casts don't trigger them

[fallow tundra]

im trying to solve single target damage on my build, with a 12% base crit chance spell, am i better off investing in shock chance and cast on shock or is cast on crit stronger there?

[glad bone]

definitely cast on crit, ailment triggers are not very consistent unless you're using a large single-hitting spell

[fallow tundra]

aight, thx, glad i came here before i all in on cast on shock xD

[glacial pike]

How does charged staff work? I don’t get any charges from it

[static torrent]

You need to first generate Power Charges in order to be able to use Charged Staff.

Once you do, it will add a projectile to all of your Quarterstaff attacks. Charged Staff does not innately generate Power Charges on its own, unless you go for the Resonance+Combat Frenzy combo and freeze using the Charged Staff projectiles.

[glacial pike]

So I have combat frenzy no charges are being generated

[static torrent]

Do you also have Resonance to generate Power Charges instead of Frenzy Charges?

And are you Freezing, Electrocuting or Pinning enemies to generate charges in the first place?

[glacial pike]

For context I am mercenary who’s being using grenades and has specced into tempest flurry to see how it goes. I have resonance

I think the freezing and pinning is the problem

[static torrent]

Then yeah, you'll need to be triggering one of those status effects in order to actually generate charges.

[glacial pike]

Also I’m confused why I’m not freezing though. I have cold damage and I have pin on wind dancer

[static torrent]

Wind Dancer will only apply that when you are hit and its AoE hit is triggered. As for the Cold damage, you need a decent amount to inflict Freezing consistently. Also, are you using The Three Dragons? That will swap around what ailments the elemental damage types inflict.

[glacial pike]

Not using three dragons

I am doing a ton of lightning damage

Is there a reason it’s not doing electrocute

[static torrent]

Lightning damage does not innately apply Electrocute.

You'd need to add the Electrocute support gem, or use something like Electrocuting Arrow.

Or the unique gloves that I don't remember the name of.

(these ones)

[glacial pike]

Put an electrocute gem in

Now I’m cooking

Thank you so much

lol I’ve been doing grenade build until t15 and got all the gear for tempest flurry so I’m like guess I’ll try it and had no idea what I was doing

[static torrent]

The approach I've typically seen to Tempest Flurry would be to use The Three Dragons, Freeze as a result, generate Power Charges and use Charged Staff that way. Combine with Hand of Wisdom and Action and Pillar of the Caged God for OP nonsense. I'm sure there's plenty of other options, though, I don't keep up with builds outside of what I see posted in this server.

Anyway, are the rings corrupted for more life loss?

[hybrid ocean]

Yeah, I don't believe the tooltip is very good about such things. It also doesn't display anything when welding Seeing Stars, and that definitely does work.

[olive compass]

Do crossbows dps works like maces and warstaffs in the way that you generaly want the highest phys possible? Or is there a difference in dmg scaling

[hybrid ocean]

Are triggered skills unable to generate energy in general, or only for skill that procced them?

[small anvil]

That's mostly a good guide. If you're pushing top tier maximum, then it's more element damage or speed. Varies a bit depending on specific skills or what level of dps you're at. But if you're that high up, you'll know what numbers you need

[dim harness]

hey any spark sorceress able to help me out 165 hrs on one character and my spark does 12-14k dps

[small anvil]

Mana and int stacking, gotta go crit also for highest dps. Archmage, eldritch battery. Wand with +5 and other good dps mods. Focus with+2 gives solid dps boost too

[glacial quarry]

For pyromantic pact to stay in the right infernal flame threshholds do I need a high mana pool or low

[small anvil]

What threshold you mean? You trying to avoid the damage? Need higher mana is better. When I experimented with it, the self damage wasn't bad so it's like free mana pool. I'm not an expert on that specific ascendency node though

[glacial quarry]

Like if I want the 20% fire damage bonus constant. Should I have really high costs low mana (equals low infernal flame conversion) to reset to 0 and get back above 65 fast or big mana so I stay above 65% when I get there for longer

[olive compass]

Thanks

[small anvil]

I think that would be very difficult to maintain in a fight scenario. I'd imagine a larger mana pool would be better. My personal theory though, haven't tried it myself

[glacial quarry]

Ok any advice is helpful and will keep asking around. Thanks

sadly that build is to much for my small brain

[fringe lagoon]

If you are doing 12k DMG with spark it's likely a gear problem, you can check the preferred mods and weighted searches on the guide to understand what gear can get you more mana/dps

Idk why the build would be too much for your small brain, kinda an unusual response

Stay at 12k DPS what can I say, not like you have shared much about your build/gear anyway (e.g. pob) that could lead to more direct recommendations

Maybe in 165h more you can get to 30k

[dim harness]

kinda fixed it with a simple build

i posted it all in the help section

[pearl sluice]

Hi guys, herald of ash caus ignite?

Cause i read was bugged or something like that

[hollow bronze]

could somebody take a look at my build for a min or 2

[oblique sluice]

Hello. Does spell damage affect totem damage? Im thinking of running a chaos damage witch but there’s like two spells at best, the totem being the third.

[muted birch]

Does level to all spell skills influence lightning conduit used with cos? It says it doesn’t but maybe im mistaken and it does anyway

[magic portal]

As a ice strike monk what would be the best staff mods? Does anybody sell one?

[indigo stag]

phys%, flat phys, ele% i think

[hoary ingot]

you guys think -5 skeleton snipers worth it for 30% movement speed?

[indigo stag]

yes

100% yes

[latent bronze]

lvl 90 ice invoker here...anyone here pushing massive dps on their build that can help me figure out what to do with mine? I am at 89k base right now and I keep seeing significantly higher numbers

[oblique sluice]

How many snipers you have right now?

[wicked tiger]

your items could use some improvement, like at least 70% ingeunity. here's my build and I have 250k on ice strike in hideout: https://maxroll.gg/poe2/pob/qog740d6

[latent bronze]

thanks! I will take a look. I know I can get a lot better stuff...just trying to figure out exactly what it is that's lacking in my build

[latent bronze]

that passive that makes you immune to chaos...i am 2 away from it -- dumb question: that's why you have -10% chaos resist yeah?

[wicked tiger]

no i have the controlled metamorphasis diamond

oh wait I think i linked the wrong build

[latent bronze]

?

[wicked tiger]

that doesnt affect chaos res

[latent bronze]

oh okay. yeah i was wondering thats why

[midnight geode]

guys my flicker strike is generating only one combo even when im hitting 30+ times.. is this a bug?

[wicked tiger]

here's my most up to date build https://maxroll.gg/poe2/pob/alg7d0ds

oh that's weird, it doesn't seem to show the nodes allocated with the diamond...

[latent bronze]

what makes that diamond good?

[wicked tiger]

I have falcon technique, bestial skin and maining strike

it lets you allocate nodes without pathing to them

[latent bronze]

ah okay

what is the reason you have -10% chaos resist though? if i go that route, I feel i gotta make sure I understand the WHY part lol

@wicked tiger 🙂

so far, our equipment is fairly comparable -- i think jewels, passives, and skills are my issue now

[wicked tiger]

The diamond has -10 chaos resis

[latent bronze]

ah okay. that doesnt punish you too bad though?

[wicked tiger]

It’s a drawback to using it

It doesn’t fit me because I have CI

[latent bronze]

what's that?

[wicked tiger]

Chaos innoculation

[latent bronze]

oh okay

wait, it does "fit" you? what do you mean? sorry

[wicked tiger]

Oops that was a typo

I meant it doesn’t affect me

Cause I’m immune to chaos damage

[latent bronze]

okay lol i thought as much

yeah that's why i was wondering earlier. I will have to see about that diamond then. Frees up slots on equipment

[pearl sluice]

Guys i just set all strenght on my titan to use giant blood

Im low level but anyways the doubt is, why if i set obly 1 weapon my dmg is 11k and when i set 2 weapon 2h my dmg go down to 5k instrad increase?

Am i doing something wrong?

Its like using it with 2 2h weapons half all my skill damage

[hoary ingot]

15

[errant nimbus]

Anyone wanna help a noob with endgame build. I can share what I currently have (monk)https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/cogbj00o

[dusky kayak]

how do you keep spectres alive if using ancient skull?

[oak valley]

What would be a comfortable class for a first run in SSF
I have 4 classes in standard that can all do all endgame comfortably and now wanna do SSF for fun
Any recommendations?

[hybrid ocean]

I believe pathfinder is pretty nice for that

Her concoctions make her way less reliant on equipment than other classes

Haven't tried it myself, but my mate did and he seemed to have a pretty easy & enjoyable time of it

[oak valley]

Any specific build I should try to build around?

Or guide

[molten wave]

get another howa man those aren't good

[jagged thunder]

pob looks very buggy to me. never happened before

resistance very far off. directly imported my character

WAIT WRONG GAME LMAO. meant poe1

[midnight geode]

how do u increase quality on ascendency skills like this one? gemcutters dont work

[atomic halo]

you cant

[midnight geode]

[latent bronze]

Ya I know the 1 to 9 isn't good...is it really THAT big a difference? I hear it is...Just hard to believe that 1 to 10 or 1 to 11 is massive

[atomic halo]

its like all of your flat damage

1-9 is average 5.0, 1-10 is average 5.5, and 1-11 is average 6.0

so 1-10 is 10% more dps and 1-11 is 20% more

of course you do have other sources of flat but it's just for example

[velvet basin]

so did i instill it wrong or sum cuz idk what’s happening

[atomic halo]

you got it

if its highlighted

its allocaated

[calm kettle]

Would anyone happen to know, are Skeletal Arsonist bombs considered projectiles that get a damage increase from Flamewall? (Should I level flamewall or keep it low level to be able to spam it?)

[atomic halo]

requirements not met just means you cant immediately path to it

[uneven fox]

does reduced skill effect duration helps also start faster energy shield recharge rate?

[atomic halo]

no

it has to be a number in the stat lines of a skill

[static torrent]

Energy Shield is not a skill, anyway.

[atomic halo]

energy shield recharge is not granted by a skill, so it wont work

[kind mountain]

Guys how can i make hammer of the gods instacat with the heral passive time of need?

[granite idol]

what charm is go to for witchhunter?

(grenade build)

[midnight geode]

if cast on crit is ready to proc with a mark on it (sniper's in this case), and i one shot a mob, is the mark gonna be applied and consumed at the same time?

or will it just go to waste

[versed pagoda]

does anyone knows how all dmg is calculated or at least how it really multplies to each other?

or at least most of it?

[hybrid ocean]

If it's the same stat, increased is additive with other sources of increased. More is multiplicative with everything

Same for decreased and less respectively

[jaunty copper]

https://poe2.ninja/pob/da1 looking to see what would my next upgrade be

any help in figuring that out?

[atomic halo]

if you have a specific question, you can ask it and we can help

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

this is a generally complete overview, although it is working off of assumptions from poe1 that arent 100% confirmed

[pastel valley]

spark sorc... what's defense against stun?

[versed pagoda]

es to stun

[versed pagoda]

ty, basically shock is a big multiplicative multiplier isnt it? since it is applied after dmg mitigation

[atomic halo]

shock is additive with other sources of inc. damage taken

but because you usually have very few amounts of inc damage taken

it doesnt matter as much that it's increased and not more

and it doesnt matter whether it's applied after or before mitigation, not sure what you mean by that

[versed pagoda]

lets say this is the basic formula :

(Base_Dmg + Added_Dmg) * (Skill_Atk + Increased_Dmg) * More_Dmg * Gained_Dmg * Hit_Rate

if this is the basic formula now u get lets say after calculating all of that: 100 lightning dmg and u now apply shock

u hit the same mob again

how much dmg will u do? 120? or it will be added to the "Increased_Dmg" pool?

[atomic halo]

with a 20% shock, you will deal 120 damage

you didnt factor it into your formula

[versed pagoda]

so basically shock is a big multiplier

so its another multiplier in the formula

[atomic halo]

it contributes to a multiplier

[versed pagoda]

which one

[atomic halo]

that multiplier is "#% increased Damage Taken"

on the enemy's side

[versed pagoda]

ohh

[atomic halo]

which calculates after your hit damage is dealt

and is multiplicative to that incoming damage

[versed pagoda]

basically I need another formula for the enemy that is "taking the dmg"

[atomic halo]

yeah

however, the way shock contributes to that multiplier is additive with other sources

the point is that there are not many other sources

[versed pagoda]

yea gotha

[atomic halo]

so the fact that it is additive isnt a big deal

[versed pagoda]

is there a cap (probably yes but not reachable) for "penetrate res"?

like can I apply to a mob a lot of minus light res?

[atomic halo]

yes, 0%

pen cannot cause res to go negative

curses, exposure, and such can, but not penetration

[versed pagoda]

and then if I penetrate 100% of res, and then I apply an exposure of lets say -100%, if the mob had 60% of that res, now he will have 30% or -40% or -100%?

[atomic halo]

-40%

yeah its unfavourable

pen applies after not before

so if the exposure/curse already made it 0 or negative pen does nothing

[versed pagoda]

gotcha, and the exposure is "additive"

[covert cargo]

I sold all of my end game titan gear and summoner witch gear and have around 100 divines because I wanted to start another character with the focus around one shotting arb on T4…what build / character should I be going for? Thanks

[atomic halo]

its kind of wrong to say additive because it's not a multiplier in the first place

its not what we're usually describing with that term, although of course it's literally subtraction, which is just negative addition

[versed pagoda]

I mean if he had 50% and now we reduce it by 100% it could be 25% after that calculation (o 0)

ok gotcha

[atomic halo]

that would be 100% reduced resistance

which is theoretically possible but doesnt exist ingame

[versed pagoda]

yea just because was easy to calculate haha

100% could mean all, or half, or double XD

[atomic halo]

poe1 has an item that says "enemies have 50% increased fire and cold resistance" (or something like that)

and if it's negative it makes it go further negative because it's just a 1.5x multiplier (assuming no other sources, not that they exist)

[versed pagoda]

top

[pastel valley]

i keep dying to bosses. what's my setup supposed to be for bossing with a spark sorc?

[versed pagoda]

do we know all that stuff cause we "reverse engineered" the game? or because at same point GGG gave us the formulas?

[atomic halo]

for most things they're the same as poe1

[versed pagoda]

I mean in poe1

[atomic halo]

which we learned over many years, many tests, many dev q&a's on forums and reddit

[versed pagoda]

ok ty

[atomic halo]

there's 23 references on the page i linked earlier, for example

[versed pagoda]

then it will be a nightmare to test things hahaha, because sometimes it might be worth lowering the mobs' resistance rather than doubling our damage

but it is what it is, that's its beauty 😄

[pastel valley]

is there a sorc build specific for bossing? i already have Everlasting Gaze and Mana before health but I still feel squishy 😦

[versed pagoda]

the thing is ... how to do dmg t oa boss XD

And a possible answer could be.. CoS and Conduit

but it'll costs u a couple of energy to take that 60 spirit

[fringe lagoon]

Cos very strong vs bosses even with mediocre dps

[pastel valley]

ok thanks.

[narrow summit]

I am making a spark storm build and I’m doing no damage early game, any tips?

[lethal vessel]

does anyone have spirit equipment they dont need

[hybrid ocean]

Anyone recall off hand how how short of a skill time is needed for tempest flurry to be faster than walking at base speed?

[waxen jewel]

Can multiple omens be combined for 1 currency?

[zenith wave]

is this where i can ask general questions about builds, their relative strength, etc? not looking for specific node by node information unless specifically applicable

[atomic halo]

sure, yeah

[zenith wave]

much thanks, i just wondered broadly speaking if a chaos/DoT witch is better or worse than a skeleton minion one, leveling first time through

[waxen jewel]

Is this ritual node any good?

[eager pulsar]

No

[odd charm]

Is there a way to import hideouts on ps5?

[oblique sluice]

Hello. Ive stalled as frost mage infernalist. 20 lv35 minions. Cant clear t1 simu, and timing out on t4 breach. Next items to upgrade is multiple divs away that i cant realistically farm casually. Is this it?

Like what do I do next? Farm 275 div? A mirror?

[odd charm]

If your new to Poe like I am use ur time to learn as much as you can so u have a better starts next league

Use weighted filter for price checks to get the most money

[shadow zephyr]

The Soul Core modifier on the Machination shield only applies to soul cores in the shield, right? Seems like a dumb question but vague wording gives hope of dumb things 😄

like a 5 socket regalia + a 2 socket ipse + 3 socket machination = 😵‍💫 and probably isn't happening, but just to confirm...

[waxen jewel]

There are couple of ways to make your character Take damage to itself, none of those are cold though. You also can't convert damage that is passively taken due to some effect.

[waxen jewel]

You completed the game. Try another character or ssf (don't)

Though ssf isn't that horrible honestly

Expect the constant juggling of weapons to transmute/aug/regal them

[waxen jewel]

If you actually want to improve your character without better gear, you could look into your passive tree

I just unlocked like 10% more dps by going into crit, which is weird with 8% crit chance

These crit nodes near monk starting area are just super strong

It's more about the flat dmg tbh

[oblique sluice]

kinda actually feels like i lost

[waxen jewel]

Why?

Get temporalis and zoom zoom

That's the only thing I'm missing for not trading

have to do with 1.29 sec blink cd

[oblique sluice]

i mean i cant defeat the next level anymore and there's no path to winning that's on a casual basis, on a meta build too

[waxen jewel]

Right, I offered what I can. I'm not going to chance your mind and don't have to. The endgame is just rushed through infinite dungeon right now with little thought

And the league mechanics getting fucked over so much by map layout it's not nice experience

I'd rather just not have such layouts that feel shit to play on every char

[waxen jewel]

What kind of cursed makes this astramentis give -2?

[eager pulsar]

what

it has -4 by default, so it got bricked

but the damage taken is the least important stat anyways

[muted birch]

225 divine🦶

[ebon lake]

how is -4 remotely useful anyway on hits of 10k dmg?

[restive mortar]

defence quality on astra 😭😭😭😭😭

[eager pulsar]

technically its lvl 24 req item so itd help during campaign act 2 and 3 lol

[prime pilot]

what are good levling ascendancy passives for gemling if you dont need gemstudded or adaptive capability?
have 4 ascendancy points, levling with gas grenade and radiant grief. currently using the +1 level to skills thing

[neat palm]

I’m trying to help my wife gear her deadeye char. She keeps dying but is like 90% evasion BUT no energy shield.
Are we building her char wrong is it supposed to have shield too??

[sleek gate]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/pob/n0h5s0dh tell me wat to upgrade pls

[lament dirge]

If dying a lot then either more dps to kill before you die or layer your defenses

[hybrid ocean]

Either energy shield or flat health on gear yeah. Avoiding 90% of hits is good, but you need to not get one-shot by those last 10%.
She might also be getting got by non-evadable hits like slams and other AoE stuff- Consider taking Acrobatics and getting even more evasion.

Though without seeing her gameplay it's possible that it's as the guy above me said, and you just need more damage.

Mobs can't hit you if they're dead

[glad mountain]

https://pobb.in/SBnIofa-kUXN

Can anyone help me out with the support gems

[midnight geode]

Yo guys does this node make it so that i get 20% more crit chance from charge infusion instead of 10%, and 60% more instead of 30% from potential (the gem that consumes a power charge for 30% crit chance)?

probably not cuz it sounds broken but have to make sure

[hybrid ocean]

Neither of those things care how many power charges they consume
The former doesn't do anything by consuming charges, it just gives benefits while you have them. The latter gives crit if you consumed at least one charge.

[midnight geode]

i see thx

so this only matters for skills that benefit from charges by default

[magic portal]

What catalyst do I have to use to increase the all res ?

[hybrid ocean]

Only matters for skills that benefit based on how many charges they eat by default, yes.

[waxen jewel]

Does the Rising Tempest support even work with heralds?

It's kinda annoying because there's no visible effect of it so It's just hopium that it works

[hybrid ocean]

You can pause and check the tooltip

one second

Well, doesn't seem like you can even socket it in there

Oh, did you mean does exploding something with a herald proc them?

Pretty sure the answer is no

[waxen jewel]

Yeah well In my opinion either way feels pretty natural

[hybrid ocean]

Because you neither use nor trigger the herald

[waxen jewel]

But I can try reasoning by comparing to other things

My situation is thatI want to shoot lightning arrow (that has Rising Tempest socketed in it) to shatter a frozen enemy which triggers the Herald of the Ice. Idk if I have used this skill now and get the buff of Rising Tempest for further attacks because I now have used cold spell recently

Herald's are super weird because they are not tagged triggers

I'll just hope it works because I don't have too many other options

[hybrid ocean]

Like 90% sure it won't

but you can check the tooltip to confirm

Heralds are not triggers, they're passives.

[waxen jewel]

Yeah they are buffs

Interestingly

When I manually cast Eye of Winter (a cold spell)

The tooltip dps of the Rising Tempested skill goes up

So I'll just test it this way and call it a day (tooltip may always be bugged too and often is)

Wait a fucking second

It gainst from it own element too

[karmic oyster]

I use Rising Tempest on Charged Staff in conjunction with Ice Strike. I tested and it works

But I dont think it takes Heralds into consideration.

[waxen jewel]

The most important thing is that it works for it's own element

+12% more damage is already way better than my next better gem

Thanks for the example though, it's not that different situation really

Heralds are just buffs too

[heavy compass]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/3o65q01i
can someone help me with the passive tree?
which allocations does megalomaniac have for this? and right search command for the heroic jewel socket slot

[atomic halo]

the megalomaniac is probably empty

because they cant expect you to get the exact same one they got

[atomic halo]

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Standard/7meEJoBT5

number doesnt matter (for you) you just want vorana

[compact vortex]

Anyone could recommend me a solid end game sorc build ?

Something i can follow from a planner, im not into crafting it all on my own

[heavy compass]

i have spaghettification on my amulet so i should get blurred motion and what else if possible?

[atomic halo]

stuff in radius of your against the darkness

[celest blaze]

Are there known Path of Building bugs related to strength calculation? My in-game strength is 685 and PoB is showing 594, it's not even close.

My life and life regeneration area also off, but that's nto surprising given that my strength is so wrong. Looking at everything else, it is exactly correct - armor / evasion / energy shield totals, dexterity, and Int, so i don't think there's anything massively wrong with the gear I have added or the tree that is defined.

Anyone have any ideas? I feel like I'm losing my mind

[celest blaze]

Creating it again from scratch solved it >.<

[left ledge]

What is a good off- meta build that can do all content? that doesnt cost a ton..

[old panther]

is gemling stacker possible without the astramentis?

[atomic halo]

yes

completely viable, astramentis is just a luxury

[atomic halo]

there is literally no content in the game hard enough

that you would actually need astramentis

[opal bobcat]

I'm honestly not sure what to do but I keep getting one shot / stunned into instantly killed on average at 2/3 of my maps.
I have 6.5k ES and a lot of fire and chaos res, not much ice and lightning res tho. Took the passive nodes that make 30% of my ES as stun threshold

[atomic halo]

not much ice and lightning res tho
is it capped?

if those resistances are not capped, they must be capped.

[opal bobcat]

Nah ice at 6% and lightning at 10%
Fire is 86 tho, chaos at 54
I have the infernalist node which converts 20% of incoming damage to fire

[atomic halo]

what

make it 75% minimum all

[opal bobcat]

In what cost tho? I either have to remove rarity or a lot of ES

[atomic halo]

everything

literally everything, if you must

[opal bobcat]

Hmm I'm just conflicted since I need as much ES for both stun threshold and barrier invocation, but I guess I could remove rarity to get some survavibility till I make money

[atomic halo]

incoming fire damage of 10000 = you take 1400 damage
incoming cold damage of 10000 = you take 7800 damage

that is not good

[opal bobcat]

Biggest problem is botrh of my rings and body armor are uniques so I can't use them for resistances

[atomic halo]

yeah i understand that es is your hitpool

but you cannot sacrifice resistances for rarity

[opal bobcat]

True

[atomic halo]

that is never correct

[opal bobcat]

The only thing I really can't give up on is fire res, as I'll kill myself with pyro pact lol, but I'll try to find items with more ice and lightning res
Which one of these 2 is more important tho?

[atomic halo]

they're pretty equal

but it doenst matter

you need to cap both

[opal bobcat]

It wouldn't be possible to have all 3 elemental resistances and life regeneration on an item right?

[cloud axle]

Affix vs suffix

3 each max

[atomic halo]

yeah no, as they're all suffixes

[opal bobcat]

Alright just got some boots to up them both to 50%, hopefully replacing gloves and helmet should be enough now to finally stop dying immediately lol

[signal sky]

are spell projectiles attacks that can be modified witha ring or amulet?

[atomic halo]

spells are not attacks

attack = damage is directly based off of weapon
spell = damage is not directly based off of weapon

[signal sky]

prjectiles are

so no they cant be modified?

witha ring or amulet

[atomic halo]

with what modifiers

they can be modified by modifiers that affect spells and projectiles in general

not ones that affect attacks specifically

[signal sky]

add on to dmg attacks dont do anythin to the projectiles from the spells is what im trina ask

[atomic halo]

yeah no

because spells are not attacks

[signal sky]

dam that confused me cuz i was readin the discription for projectiles thinkin it was a addon as a attack so i should be focused more elemental but what i dont get is why they get add on the physical dmg

alot of the build i seewith rings get add on physical

[atomic halo]

what projectile skill are you talking about here

could it possibly be charged staff

[signal sky]

just fireball or ice shard

[atomic halo]

those are spells, nothing that says "attacks" will have any effect

[opal bobcat]

Btw is the 20% increased armor and ES rune applied only to the specific gear piece it's attached to, or my general ES?

[atomic halo]

it's local, it only affects the item it's socketed into

[atomic halo]

cuz i was readin the discription for projectiles thinkin it was a addon as a attack
in what way?
what i dont get is why they get add on the physical dmg
link?

[signal sky]

just read the discription for projectiles

[static torrent]

This one?

[signal sky]

ye

[atomic halo]

attack or spell, for you it's a spell

and the second sentence is just saying that it doesnt shotgun

[signal sky]

ok bet

[atomic halo]

i want to see the builds that get added damage to attacks when they use spell skills though

sounds very wrong

[signal sky]

i think i had one with spark

i gotta go check

im still newbie asf

[atomic halo]

those mods may just be there incidentally

[signal sky]

so im guessin the blue letters on the skill gets upgraded from equipment and skill tree then the white letters are justskill tree

[atomic halo]

im not really sure what you mean by that

[fierce gyro]

hey. i'm new to poe2 and just got to endgame and really struggling with completing any of the basic maps. i tried to copy my build here as best as i can. let me know if i missed anything trying to copy it. https://poe2.ninja/pob/df1

i think i am having mana problems but idk the best way to solve them

[atomic halo]

are the skills there?

assume spark archmage or something?

[fierce gyro]

yeah spark archmage

[atomic halo]

your wand is really bad

#1 priority is + level to all lightning skills

preferrably 5 but settle for less if needed

then you want stuff like mana, cast speed, spell damage, lightning damage

gain as extra is very mid because archmage is already lots of gain as extra

but a better wand is like 70% more dps or something crazy like that

because you really want + levels

your body is very bad as well

[fierce gyro]

Ahhh okay

[atomic halo]

only 1 useful modifier, that is not good at al

you want way more energy shield & life as well as resistances and mana

all your resistances

are nowhere near capped

-3% / 10% / 17% / 0%

that is very bad as well

you want cold/fire/lightning to be minimum 75/75/75

anything less is unacceptable

[fierce gyro]

i see. i will work on that then. thank u!

[gray hull]

question, what would you want to look for on an amulet for a spark build with gemling, so I know I want at least 30 spirit (to get CoS), some int, resists, but what else?

[atomic halo]

flat mana and % mana

and + to proj skills

[gray hull]

would you want that over int?

[atomic halo]

they're prefixes

int is a suffix

not mutually exclusive

[gray hull]

ah I see

[atomic halo]

also % mana is way better than flat int

[modern crane]

"+% more flask charges gained", affects the + 0,1 flask regen passives?🤔

[gray hull]

even for gemling with stat stacking int specifically?

[atomic halo]

probably yeah

% inc is just on another level compared to flat

[gray hull]

oof these are all like 2 div lmao, time to farm trials again lol

[atomic halo]

you can pob it

[gray hull]

ngl am very unfamiliar with how to properly use PoB

@atomic halo wait I did have another question, so i'm using MoM + eldritch, is it pointless to get any gear with energy shield modifers?

[atomic halo]

flat es works

% inc es works if it is local

% inc es does not work if it is global

[atomic halo]

import everything change the mods on the ammy and see how that affects the numbers

[modern crane]

How META is Acrobatics?
I've even heard that it actually makes you receive more dmg

[static plinth]

Archmage Embitter

[static plinth]

By default it will make you get hit more often

Since it dumps your EVA

You need to have enough to still have a high chance to evade with acrobatics

[fast wind]

Is chaos about to be good because of the new skillgems?

[atomic halo]

let me borrow your time machine and i'll let you know.

[fast wind]

Cany saving it for when the corruptions makes it to my home

[hybrid ocean]

Ok, I am mighty confused now

Does Serpent's egg double up when you have resonance?

I seem to very consistently get 3 charges instead of 2, even without profusion
