"25% dmg from your main weapon" ahh like what dps? raw? (cuz totems dont get dps from raw dmg) does it include smth like "fire dmg on hit?" (cuz totems dont get elemental dmg on hit from weapons....but they get it from rings for unknown reasons)

[dawn spire]

I'd rather have the tooltip underestimate my dps than overestimate it

[slate kernel]

why not meet in the middle and just make it show what is happening

[dawn spire]

Whatever your weapon's base damage is, 25% of that gets added to your allies' hits

[slate kernel]

why base dmg?

[static torrent]

Because your Totems have their own weapon, and the damage affixes on weapons are, for the most part, local to the weapon itself. The affixes on rings add stuff 'to Attacks', meaning they're global, meaning they can affect Totems too.

It's not unknown reasons.

[dawn spire]

Because your weapon's damage is its base damage

[slate kernel]

Increased elemental dmg on attacks on the weapon is global too i see

Guess i have to find out where to find what and why is smth global/only on weapon and why not

[dawn spire]

When you attack with a weapon, you use your weapon's base damage, then add any sources of flat added damage (rings, conditional stuff like immolate support, etc), then multiply by all your modifiers like increases, more, less, etc.

The totem does the same thing. That notable is basically a really meaty piece of jewelry it's wearing while it's in your presence. Except the only stat is "Adds +X damage to attacks" (where X is 25% of the damage of your weapon)

[gentle veldt]

anybody doing carry sekhemas with lich? What build?

[slate kernel]

^
Just for my understatement. the buff would do arround 43dmg per hit flat?

[uncut trout]

Can anyone tell me, does kitoko make my attacks not do shock? Or do they now do shock AND electrocute?

[neat bison]

It does both ailments

[uncut trout]

Thnx!

[dawn spire]

38.75, but close enough yeah

[lofty glen]

Does Cracklekeep ruby ring + Blackflame Amethyst Ring work together? From what I read online Black flame only makes it that instead of fire damage you deal chaos damage, but all increases to fire damage like % increased fire damage make that chaos damage bigger. I want to make not very serious black flame kitava warrior, I already have character for farming, now I want to theorycraft some jank.

overall it doesn't even have to be kitava warrior, I just want to make some semi-viable Blackflame Amethyst Ring build

[slate kernel]

that does sound super underwhelming tbh

for a 4th ascend point

[dawn spire]

From what I'm reading the magnitude of the ignite is still scaled off the fire damage of the hit, even though the ignite deals chaos damage

So yeah fire damage should still scale it and not chaos damage

[dry bridge]

There is no way of scaling companion traits?

[lime narwhal]

is this node not showing on the character sheet? literally no difference to my defences after taking this

[dawn spire]

You mean like tamed beast mods? I'm not sure. I figure something like magnified effect would increase the area of an aura it had

[dawn spire]

No change to armor/eva/es?

[dry bridge]

It does not increases the aura, yeah tamed beast mods, the modifiers seems to be just fixed dmg
from what I observed theres no way to scale their affixes/modifiers

[lime narwhal]

aye, literally nothing changed

[dawn spire]

Free dmg I guess

[lime narwhal]

maybe my EV is just so high its not that impactful

[lofty glen]

thanks a lot!

[dusty kiln]

this is really good for lightning spear builds right? is it still worth using once i got the amulet that ignores resists on crit?
or should i sell it once i have the amulet? (and how much would this even be worth?)

[gentle veldt]

anybody doing carry sekhemas with lich? What build?

[dawn spire]

1. It depends on what other jewels you have. It seems passable at a glance.
2. #price-check📉

And yeah, the penetration is worthless after that amulet

[dusty kiln]

only got some randomly thrown together jewels atm, still in early endgame

[dawn spire]

Personally, I wouldn't path out of your way to get a socket for that jewel. If you already have one, might as well throw it in

[dusty kiln]

my other jewels are all like
mostly useless with some tangentally usable effects like gaining rage on them

[dawn spire]

Yeah, I trust that it's your best jewel. I still wouldn't spend any passive points to allocate it. Maybe I'd spend one on it

[dusty kiln]

i got plenty of space for it
and worst case with 1 point i can get another slot atm

this is my current passive tree, with red circles on my next goals

[dawn spire]

I'm not sure I'm communicating this clearly; Jewel sockets require a passive point to allocate and use. That jewel doesn't seem worth it if you need to spend 2 or more points to get it

[dusty kiln]

dont worry, i know

im not going out of my way to get more slots

[dawn spire]

Ok, yeah, I see the node on the path.

[dusty kiln]

not sure what i should prioritize first ngl
hard to know what increases my dps more
but hey
for now i can clear t3 maps very quickly

[dawn spire]

If I'm using totems with the pin nodes from tactician, will my totems inherent the pin buildup and the inaction while pinned effects?

[dusty kiln]

im quite certain totems do pin if you have the pin node

[dawn spire]

Litty city

[static torrent]

I believe so, since Totems generally inherit your offensive stats.

[slate kernel]

yes they do

[warped kayak]

is there anyone who tryied to combine xbow and herald of blood?

how it performs and which skill you are using to apply bleed

[slate kernel]

play amazon or lich or suffer

[pearl sluice]

Does the mod "conjures flame walls" create a wall that also enhances projectiles that come threw it?

Aka Companion

I see no visual component to it

[halcyon solar]

What does the "AND"group do among the stat filters on the trade site?

[pearl sluice]

the same that the normal filter does...to this day i dont know why there is a sperate and group

[dawn thistle]

so I just upgraded my 2-handed mace and my leap slam now does too much dmg to consistantly get primed for stun ennemies. is this a problem that will happend in endgame?

[pearl sluice]

These both do exactly the same.

[merry basin]

So question where does one even start for build crafting lol

[halcyon solar]

what's the point then? 😄

[pearl sluice]

I have no idea

[twilit viper]

Which ascendancy can best take advantage of Caltrops? I'm thinking you can either go with the Thorns side of things or the spear/projectile/hazard side of things.

[timid holly]

anyone know if stormlance can get double frenzy effect from DE?

[neat bison]

You can make a new leap slam with a low level gem, find that sweet spot

[dawn thistle]

didnt think of that, thanks !

[static torrent]

I believe there's also a support that prevents a skill from Heavy Stunning enemies while still allowing it to build it up, called Brink.

[fiery scaffold]

does this mean 25% of acc stat in the weapon itself or total accuracy

[solemn laurel]

On the weapon

[fiery scaffold]

im asking this because im getting 10k dps from 400 acc

and it doesnt really make sense

and other accuracy increase passives give way more dps if this ascension is on

[atomic halo]

400 acc = 100 flat, 100 flat is a lot

[spice tree]

Is tangletounge better than a rare at mid budget?

[empty valve]

Tangle - better always

[halcyon solar]

If you have like + 40% Energy Shield on your amulet. Does that even do anything, since it doesn't have ES to begin with?

[static torrent]

That's a global modifier, like what you'd find on your passive tree.

[halcyon solar]

what? This raises my whole gear's ES by 40%?

or my character's

[mystic osprey]

is there a way to make PoB calculate increased crit chance that comes from amazon's accuracy?

[static torrent]

Your character's overall Energy Shield. However, since it's an increase, it's additive with any other source, so if you already have a lot of it, it won't have as much of an impact.

[pearl sluice]

Is the mana leech a global or local modifier evenso its on a weapon?

[atomic halo]

"Leeches"

the weapon leeches, specifically that weapon

if it was global it would say "Leech #% ..."

[pearl sluice]

is there any global leech modifiers then?

[atomic halo]

gloves

[pearl sluice]

mana also?

[atomic halo]

yeah

also on rings

[pearl sluice]

ah but its "attack damage"

[atomic halo]

spell leech is very scarce

[pearl sluice]

So no mana/es leeching chayula monk, sad.

[atomic halo]

not as spell, no

need to be attack

[pearl sluice]

think about recovering from volatility

[shrewd socket]

if i convert lightning to chaos will this mastery still buff my damage? or does it get added after the conversion?

[static torrent]

Damage increases only apply at the final damage type, so if all of your damage is converted to Chaos, this notable won't do anything.

[jovial panther]

Guys do anyone have a full build (start/mid/end game) where in the end game the skill is ICE based? preferably long range and HC viable

[shrewd socket]

does "increased chaos damge" also apply to "30% as extra chaos dmg" or does it get calculated before and "30% as extra chaos dmg" gets added after it?

[atomic halo]

it applies to the gained damage after

[shrewd socket]

ty

[atomic halo]

so if you have 100 cold damage, have 30% gained as chaos, have 1000% inc. cold, 100% inc. chaos, your damage would be 100 cold -> 100 cold + 30 chaos -> 1100 cold + 60 chaos

[twin sierra]

cant think of a great build but cold caster and ice shot ranged are both atleast somewhat viable

[shrewd socket]

what do you think about impending doom mana stacker with archmage on lich? is it really that "impossible" to scale 2 different dmg types?
i could convert 100% lighting to chaos with 1 ring but then i would miss out on "Pure Power" (2% lightning dmg per 10 int - maybe lichs unholy might can make up for it)

or maybe someone else has some opinion on it

[atomic halo]

either you forgo type-specific modifiers entirely (which is unlikely)

or you convert and give up chaos or lightning

or your scaling will be split forever

[shrewd socket]

unholy might for example scles both but that wouldnt be enough i guess

[atomic halo]

scales both?

the damage you gain as chaos isnt affected by mods that affect lightning damage

[hazy olive]

hi balloon

[crystal drift]

is there mods i should look for on a rare to make a good spectre out of it for my chaos lich?

[grizzled pebble]

is the trinity skill worth it for single elemental builds?

seems like a free damage boost if you have enough spirit to fit it in at least

well, not free i guess

[gloomy rain]

Does Blood Boil count as an aura? It doesn't seem to have the tag, but it does apply debuffs to enemies in my presence, so it seems to fit the definition.

The node is pretty sweet regardless, just for the +30% presence aoe. Kind of on the other side of the world though, which I suppose makes sense since auras are mainly a Templar thing, and Huntress is the opposite of str/int.

[atomic halo]

no

[humble dragon]

Question, in season 1 I had a stormweaver ball lightning/lightning warp build that got me through, and doing T15 maps. Wasn't particularly OP. I was having an absolute blast playing it. But is that build completely ruined now in 0.2.0?

[sonic blade]

I wonder if instead of stacking STR, if I went Dex and grabbed Tame Beast, Ghost Shroud, and Wind Dancer. Drop Raging Spirits and Ember Fusilage. Pick up a mace skill. Thoughts?
https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/profile/7948e9a7-1642-4569-8e6b-b1b0444e45c5/builds/3dc014a3-2032-4ce3-83cd-2a831256a199

[sonic blade]

Possibly. Most builds from last season got wrecked in some way shape or form. But thats a good thing IMO

[humble dragon]

Fair, just makes me a little sad cause it was fun. Oh well, I'll try to find something new. Thanks!

[sonic blade]

I totally get that, but it makes you have to evolve your play / learn a new one. I understand wanting to play what you like, but at the same time they want to make a game that is changing every season. Plus theres new stuff. Lol

[sage tulip]

You actually explained my build but I don’t convert the lightning damage. This way if your up against a boss or something then at least your not stuck with wait for the dot to kill the boss.

It’s actually been very effective so far. Though I’m only lvl 27 currently.

Also I believe life lich instead of CI is better since your life now is the base for your mana regen.

It was a good idea at first but as my mana has grown my regen is slowing and I can tell.

[scarlet rover]

Im thinking on making my first alter this league, what is a fast moving autobomber with full screen clears to try?

[heavy niche]

hey all, is anyone trying any concoction builds? i just realized they made them require to be unarmed and then they also did not change Herald of Blood/Plague to be able to be used when unarmed, so basically you cannot use them in synchronization

eg. if i bleed/poison a target, i have to do a weapon swap in order to have herald active lmao

[sage tulip]

Auto bombs as in one click boom or auto as in self casting.

Also @scarlet rover what build did you use before ?

[scarlet rover]

im using artillery ballista smith of kitava

i loved one build in poe 1 where you were casting an ¿ice/water vortex? on your feet as you ran and everything exploded around because you ignited them, they exploded and proliferated or something like that

[latent dawn]

alright 1k regen achieved... now to expand that, min max to str stacking + regen if I can get the items

no idea how high I can push this but ill push it

[tender narwhal]

does anyone know if herald of ice still works with the unique saphire ring

[latent dawn]

the polcyrkin or whatever ring that makes chilled stuff shatter?

Polcirkeln - hard to remember the spelling of that lmao

but yes, it shatters as if the target was Frozen so no conflict with Herald of Ice

HoIce only cares about shattering, which the sapph ring allows you to do without freezing

[scarlet rover]

any recomendation?

[last narwhal]

I've been digging around for a few days now. Does anyone have a PoB for Sunder/Rolling slam totems Smith of Kitava?

[oblique marlin]

made something good, what builds using ARMOR+Evasion?

[sage tulip]

My bad I was watching a show. The only thing I can really recommend for speedy clears would be lightning crossbow merc. As that ties in well with herald of ash and herald of lightning where you shoot the cross bow and once you kill one shocked enemy and over kill it, the herald trigger to explode and thunderbolt your opponents hard. You won’t be constantly running but the clear spear is rather quick.

The second build would the stat stacker but with the latest changes that build needs a bit of reworking before it can be used again.

[scarlet rover]

Dont worry, i played a version of that merc the previous patch but it felt slow moving i think

And maybe some very fast movement build with very good screen clears

dont need to be autobomb i guess

i want the screen to die not necesarily because autobombingg

My current build dont seems to good at that

[daring veldt]

Hey! I am looking for a build that has good clear speed and single target damage? any suggestion please, preferably frost related, if not any other suggestions are also welcome. Thank you!

[sage tulip]

Ahh I did a slight variation of it that made it faster, not as tanky but much quicker, and more damage focused so a lot of the time the enemies died within 2 shots and then reloaded to a sort of lightning sniper shot that deleted bosses. Though when you got hit you felt it.

I’m away from home at the moment but once I am home I can send you a link of the build design for you to look over if you want.

With the latest changes some builds are having to be redesigned and reworked. The latest build Im working on is the lightning chaos witch which seems to be doing well but I’m only lvl 27 at the moment so I will see in later stages.

[scarlet rover]

Ok, yeah send it but im not too sure because i already played a merc and i think i'd like to play another class to see what they are about

[sage tulip]

What classes have you played so far ?

[dusty lance]

how is fork on lightning spear?

[scarlet rover]

merc and warrior

[dusty lance]

i feel like i lose lots of damage

[scarlet rover]

well and the sorceres but played like a warrior XD

the hammer of god or something like taht

[atomic halo]

you do lost a lot of damage, if you can't stomach that use a dmg support

[sage tulip]

lol. Also Quantum fork is more meant to spread ailments among enemy’s not for damage purposes really.

[dusty lance]

is it more optimal to run fork?

[proven rapids]

how does ancestral bond and greatwood support interact ?

[sage tulip]

I never considered playing it like that. Well there is a slight variation change you can do if you prefer melee combat to range for the witch.

[scarlet rover]

i played that because it was the only build i found that seemed to have dmg

dont really enjoyed it much

[sage tulip]

Ahh well if you want melee style combat you can do that with this latest ascendancy of witch and you can do chaos damage and curse combo as melee ranged. Just need to use an item that converts lightning to chaos damage then you can melee with quarter staff. Now you’re a monk lich with chaos.

That’s another build design I’m working on once I finish ironing out the lightning lich witch caster.

[atomic halo]

better clear

if you have the damage run it if you dont dont

[scarlet rover]

I have seen a essence drain contagion lich that looks good

but i dont know if that would be too expensive

[dusty lance]

thank you for the info. also have any builds been using beacon of azul? manage to get that while gold gambaling

[atomic halo]

azis?

[dusty lance]

azis yes

[atomic halo]

yes, it's a very popular ammy for lightning spear

because you deal damage of multiple ailments, it's hard to get pen for everything

so fubgun uses it for example

[dusty lance]

ill have to check it out. i have 43 spirit from it which is nice

[gilded tangle]

Does anyone know where i can find a spectre mob udner 28 spirit?

[vagrant oyster]

Anyone got any halfway interesting builds? Specifically not lightning spear

[tidal birch]

Is there any "meta" for party play? Like in poe1 Aura bot, curse bot and so on. I tried googling but did not find any good guide or guide that is up to date.

[halcyon solar]

What would happen if you fail to complete a Tower? would you lose it?

[craggy ice]

https://poe2.ninja/profile/character/t3kb9920o9wh/codebam-5388/codebammm

can someone help me

[vagrant oyster]

Chaos inoculation with only 1k energy shield seems unplayable

[faint fern]

Crossbow Ranger...any decent builds for it or is it not viable?

[craggy ice]

how do I get more es at this level

or should I just get rid of CI

[vagrant oyster]

I would just get rid of ci

[craggy ice]

okay

[cosmic tulip]

I just finished the first 6 acts with a huntress Balista build , But for Maps I want to change to something else ? Anything else beside lightning spear do you guys recommend ?

[vagrant oyster]

Basically the only choices are lightning spear bleed build(kinda sucks at clearing) and twister build (sucks at bossing and just kinda not great in general after the nerfs)

[cosmic tulip]

ok , So yea , lightning spear it is...

Balista build was amazin until now , but the clear speed is kinda bad..

[craggy ice]

twister is good after nerf imo

but sucks at bossing

unless you get lucky and get a small arena

[vagrant oyster]

I think primal strikes is decent some people are running lightning spear and then primal strikes for bossing

[craggy ice]

oh okay cool

[vagrant oyster]

Twister just seems kinda bad in general i think

I mean its not unplayable and a big part of this game is using builds u find fun but the bossing is awful and the clear speed still isnt great because of how much setup u need for every attack

[cosmic tulip]

The first guide that comes uo for lightning spear is this , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzfjgE5BiHs is it bait ?

[static wagon]

anyone know the lowest level skill gem you need for blink

[unreal sierra]

spirit 14

@static wagon

[hoary bolt]

Does anyone know how to get PoB to count the stats of weapon swap points? They dont seem to contribute anything from either swap

[dawn spire]

Gut reaction, what build do y'all think is gonna get the farthest in hcssf;
A. Cold spell chronomancer
B. Artillery Ballista Tactician
C. Perfect Strike Ignite Smith of Kitava
D. Corrupting cry warbringer
E. Mana stacking impending doom infernalist

[hoary bolt]

Smith defenses are so free

and has the secondary factor of freeing up affixes for other forms of defense

[dawn spire]

The main issue is that I kinda want to spend 6 points on non-chest nodes :/

[hoary bolt]

dont even need the chest nodes tbh

the fire resist nodes + temper weapon are good

[tidal birch]

unrelated question but how tedious is it to play cold spell chronomancer?

[dawn spire]

I'm thinking I'll find out

I've never hard committed to cold chrono before

I've only done ED/C and bow chronomancer before

And grenade

[atomic halo]

smith

[tidal birch]

having to cold snap on your own spells just sounds so tiresome after doing that for 3-4h

[dawn spire]

I'm surprised y'all are saying Smith is so good that it'll carry a melee ignite build

[dawn spire]

It's not all cold snap. There ice wall, frost bomb, etc

Idk fully what spells I'll use if I go cold chrono

[tidal birch]

why not go for something like ignite or shock?

should be way less "work" just to see something happening

[dawn spire]

Cuz freeze is the best ailment to inflict for hc, imo

Well, along with electrocute, stun, pin, etc

And I don't mind work to make stuff happen

My fave chrono build so far involved time freeze > tornado shot > barrage > perfect snipe vs bosses

[tidal birch]

why does chrono have so little play % in your opinion?

[dawn spire]

Because people are cowards and are afraid to face the judgment of their one, true god

So they turn from her shining light and hope they won't feel her wrath

But fr, I think it's because she has no big sparky boom boom dps nodes

And people criminally undervalue temporal rift

[tidal birch]

To me it seems, like there are no real build variety for the class

[mystic dirge]

Are monsters with thinngs like mana-drain aura worthh taming?

[past drift]

Primal strikes or storm lance for lighting spear build?

[dawn spire]

That's because people aren't playing it. We need more people experimenting. Chronomancer can do basically any build.

Grenades, basically all spells, bows, you name it

[slate kernel]

feels as good as using armor

[dawn spire]

Pretty sure monsters don't use mana, so probably not?

[mystic dirge]

Thought so, but fiigured I'd ask.

[abstract hornet]

Sorry to bother everyone, but I'm running a lightning spear huntress ( lvl 19 almost 20) I am trying to find out if the unique spear skysliver winged spear is a viable option for a dmg boost?

[mystic dirge]

I think it'd depend on the over all build. I use PS and I love it, does massive dmg.

[dawn spire]

20% inc aoe (assuming no other aoe sources) is only about 4.5% increased radius

[past drift]

What support gems would you recommend?

[mystic dirge]

I use Primal Arament, Concentrated effect, Elemental focus

To get the most out of it, the target has to be shocked though for the stampede effecct to go off. I use LS until they are shoccked, then use PS.

[past drift]

Gotcha

[past drift]

Are you in endgame?

[slate kernel]

thats absolute garbage

[dawn spire]

Blame Pythagoras

[slate kernel]

would rather have 8 skill points than 8 ascension points in tactician ngl

[slate kernel]

nah, game designer are kinda weird. just make it flat

[mystic dirge]

Currently in a2 cruel but blowing through everything. PS makes quick work of bosses

[dawn spire]

Like a flat "+X? Meters to radius"?

[slate kernel]

for example

better than "skill this to get absolute nothing"

[dawn spire]

They did that in poe1 and it got insane. Because every x meters you had to the radius, the area of effect is increased exponentially

[craggy ice]

is trade down? says I'm not in the same league

but I am

oh wait I'm not

[slate kernel]

ngl idc HOW or to WHAT and with what perimeters to change but right now they could just put +5 dex there and it would do more 😄

[dawn spire]

did you read the nodes before you picked your ascendancy?

[past drift]

Nice I’m currently in act 3 cruel and the dmg was getting pretty bad. Are you running Infuse weapon or nah?

[slate kernel]

Nope.

I picked it and thought "hmm maybe game designers arent stupid af with implementing that so i try it out"

you always read everything in games before choosing smth?

[mystic dirge]

I'm not. Overall my Dmg has been stellar.

[dawn spire]

Yes

If I'm not under a time constraint like taking turns in a board game

I read all the nodes on all the ascendancies before I even started playing

Since I knew that the ascendancy was an important part of the build I was going to make

I don't pick a class unless I know what ascendancy I'm picking

And why I'm picking it

[slate kernel]

I just trust in game designers to not be idiots and pick a class based on the idea its "kinda promising"

smth about auras/buffing allies and totems

[dawn spire]

You took a look at one small node, saw it wasn't very impactful, and you jumped to the conclusion that the game designers are idiots?

[slate kernel]

Not yet no

They should fix/improve it asap tho else they are idiots

its early access

[dusky wadi]

is shield wall good now that you can explode it like earthshatter?

[dawn spire]

Improve/fix what, exactly?

[slate kernel]

The magnitude of what a Skillpoint in ascendancy is providing for example. Or find a way to make make totem/ally dmg calculation not complete garbage. or implement a dps dummy (OR GOD HELP A DMG LOG) for the Hideout (maybe guild hideout? make some money with it...dont be stupid) so you dont have to run to a boss with a low skillgem and ESTIMATE.
Or make Armor not complete garbage and force the majority into ES to not cripple themself

or give me a tool to show my Presence permanently (maybe i should use an permanent Marker and fcking mark it on my monitor)

but i should be efficient and mark both lines (with and without the huge 20% buff)

i should use a VERY THIN ONE tho so they dont touch each other (cuz the increase is nonexistant)

[dusky wadi]

okay shield wall is pretty comparable to earthshatter it seems but its easier to cast

[narrow salmon]

is 2 spearfield really needed? or can just use 1?

[dawn spire]

Everything you listed has pros and cons to it. GGG has stated before why they don't want target dummies and why damage logs aren't worth it.

And as for the node, it did exactly what it said on the box. It gave you 20% increased presence area of effect.

The small nodes in an ascendancy aren't meant to feel impactful. They're there to supplement the notables and offer some extra bonus.

Also, path of building will eventually be updated for poe2 and all our calculation needs will be solved. GGG doesn't want to implement anything like that ingame because they figure if people really want to know that level of detail, they'll use a third party app

No one complains about this in poe1 because we have a fully functional pob

[slate kernel]

Honestly feels 100% like you are currently lead designing the game.

x)

Currently the worst Asc in the game by far but i hope they are improving what they are working on (full trust).
Its Early Access and Feedback is important so they can fix their mistakes, no worries.

[static torrent]

Sorry, is the complaint actually about the small node? You have seen the kinds of stuff the other ascendancies have, right?

[dawn spire]

You think tactician is worse than acolyte?

[static torrent]

As for Armour, they've explicitly said that they're planning to revisit it and potentially fully redesign it if they find a concept that works better, or change stuff with the current concept if they find that they still favour it over other ideas.

[slate kernel]

both equally trash. Acolyte had atleast a job to farm Temporalis ❤️

[dawn spire]

20% inc presence aoe is actually a really hard stat to get. I don't understand why you think it's so bad. You'd rather have 3% mana or something?

[dusky wadi]

what does heft do vs other damage increases?

[slate kernel]

100% i would rather have 4 Dex

[hoary bolt]

man why am I struggling so badly to build damage on monk in pob

[dawn spire]

On your damage sheet it should say a damage range like 50-100 physical damage. That support changes it to 50-130 damage

[slate kernel]

hard to get =! good/usefull/enjoyable tho

[dusky wadi]

is that worth it vs rageforged on hammer of the gods?

[dawn spire]

Depends on the damage range. If your range is 0-max, it's 30% more damage. If your range is 0 between min and max, it's 15% more damage

[dawn spire]

I'd argue that not every node (especially small nodes) should feel "enjoyable". Having variance makes the impactful nodes feel even more so

But this is a build planning channel, not a feedback channel

I'll argue about this all day in dms tho

[fleet blaze]

does blood mage just not get survivability? what am i doing wrong?

[dawn spire]

The right side of the tree is all survival, and same with the 10% leech node

[fleet blaze]

if anything hits you you're either dead or near dead or stunned then dead? i have 100% ES stun threshold from tree

[dawn spire]

How much life do you have?

And how much ES?

[fleet blaze]

2500life/3000 ES

[dawn spire]

And what nodes did you take exactly?

Did you take the one where threshold is based on 30% of es instead of life?

[fleet blaze]

and then the small ones

[dawn spire]

Do you have this node?

[fleet blaze]

no

[dawn spire]

Are you using raise shield/parry/rhoa mount?

[fleet blaze]

i have none of those

[dawn spire]

And/or are you using any other uniques that might be making you get stunned more?

Stuns should be way less of a big deal now than in 0.1

[fleet blaze]

only unique im using

[dawn spire]

What sort of things are stunning you, exactly?

[fleet blaze]

white mobs

[dawn spire]

Are your ele resistances capped?

[fleet blaze]

i just feel like BM has to solve eleventy different things

should prolly just reroll im not having fun

[dawn spire]

Nothing about your problem seems like an issue with blood mage so far

I'm not sure what it is, but blood mage, if anything, is helping because it offers a bit of max life

[fleet blaze]

my problem with BM is they have no survivability. i have 0 mitigation other than resistances

[dawn spire]

What nodes did you take?

[fleet blaze]

i lied i have 3% armour

[dawn spire]

BM has some really strong defensive nodes

[fleet blaze]

https://pobb.in/7aN1GTgKrNe_

my resistances are not that

that's weird

[daring veldt]

Hey! I am looking for a build that has good clear speed and single target damage? any suggestion please, preferably frost related, if not any other suggestions are also welcome. Thank you!

[dawn spire]

Yeah I'm on mobile and I can't see your ascendancy nodes, but they're in the shape of the chronomancer tree lol

[bold oxide]

deadeye glacial lance

[daring veldt]

What’s the play style like?

[fleet blaze]

weird

[dawn spire]

What nodes have you taken tho?

[bold oxide]

spam glacial lance at 1000 miles per hour. check this guys videos

https://youtu.be/FP1wKUbuvDE?si=_voQheZCAk3IqLjg

very clean straightforward build. super fun

[dawn spire]

Ascendancy nodes was what I was looking for

[daring veldt]

Can this be done with Amazon?

[bold oxide]

yeah

[dawn spire]

If stuns are what keep killing you, I'd unspec the leech node and get the body armor life node

731 base life should help immensely vs stuns

[fleet blaze]

then i just straight up die from using skills

[dawn spire]

Remnants and flasks aren't enough?

[fleet blaze]

bone cage astral projection -> remnants usually despawn before i get there

bone cage melee clear -> remnants are ok -> ranged kills me as im getting into melee

[dawn spire]

Stop using dissipate support on life remnants then

[daring veldt]

Any other recommendations besides glacial lance, just looking for some options to pick from

[dawn spire]

Essence drain/contagion lich (or chronomancer) with dark effigy for single target is my recommendation

[fleet blaze]

im just making a new char. i guess i don't like this class.

[warm seal]

Is there any way to use effigy of cruelty when you don't have any skill gem slots available to slot in any skills? Like which wand would be the best to use as my weapon 2

[dawn spire]

I'm failing to see how effigy of cruelty plays a part in this question. I'm also failing to see what you're trying to accomplish

[warm seal]

I don't use spells and I need to use spells to generate crit weakness

[dawn spire]

Oh I see

I guess I'd get an unset ring and slap on dark effigy

But also, if you're not a spell build your spells are gonna have terrible crit chance

Most likely

Well, I guess a lot of crit nodes are generic

[warm seal]

Yeah I guess you're right. Just trying to get more crit chance for single target dps on my ls

[dawn spire]

What ascendancy are you?

[slate kernel]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7CikVIaNeo

[warm seal]

Amazon

[latent sinew]

What happens when a proj has fork and split? Tried to Google but couldn't find it

[daring veldt]

spend 1000divines = OP

-.-

but good build

[static plinth]

Split -> Pierce -> Fork -> Chain

[slender rivet]

Does this ability affect damage over time?
thinknig about essence drain for example.
referring to damage buff from purple flame

[static plinth]

No, damage as extra doesnt affect non-ailment DoTs

[slender rivet]

ok, do you have a source for this?

[static plinth]

Press alt on "gain as extra"

[slender rivet]

the buff text here does not contain the word "Gain"

that's why i'm confused

[glacial edge]

Does "Projectile" buffs affect Twisters on Huntress? I.E. Projectile Speed/Damage increases

[inland nebula]

https://poe2.ninja/pob/3040

I would like to make a Spire of Ire Chaos infusion Amazon build possible, what is the best way of doing so?

I can't inflict ailments like shock, electrocute, etc, which lowers DPS/Survivability, though i could get shock / chill possibly from a companion.
I can't use heralds, due to pure chaos damage. (Herald of Ash would work, sure, but HoA sucks, and my Base DPS isn't enough to make it reasonably worth it)

Anyone got any advice?

[weak rain]

what's the crit chance cap?

or when should i prioritize dps over crit chance for amazon

[static plinth]

100%

[slender rivet]

Thanks, but i think the confusion here comes from how the term "Gain" is not included in the skill description.

but i can see that term being used in other skills and in uniques

[dawn spire]

The twisters are projectiles, yes

[dawn spire]

Yeah, odd how they use "grant" instead

[slender rivet]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJRqNqik8Tk
it seems like this video atleast confirms that it does not affect DoT.
maybe devs just forgot to use the term Gain there.

[static plinth]

The wording on that effect is super inconsistent

[dawn spire]

Yeah they forgot a lot of stuff with that ascendancy it seems

[static plinth]

Sometimes its grant, sometimes its gain, sometimes it has extra and sometimes it doesnt

[alpine parrot]

alright some im an amazon, doing warrior build, and most of my dps comes from physical and accuracy
now i canceled all amazon asencdency nodes and my dps on my auto attacks (main dmg) went from 175k to 105k
is there any reason that switching to ritualist could give me more than that 70k dps? (and 13% accuracy, since i was using double helmet/glovers/boots thingy, since im not using body armour due to unique helmet)

i know theres a 20% increase physical dmg nodes, but i wonder how that will stack with all other incerase melee/physical nodes i took, and the extra ring

[dawn spire]

When you say, "Doing a warrior build" do you actually mean you're using maces?

[alpine parrot]

yep

two handed ones on both hands

i got around 85% evasion and 25% armour

and my go to bosses is auto attack -stun-continue autos

works so far with tier15-16-17

[dawn spire]

Amazon has the crit node that completely rolls over what you can get on ritualist. At least for a build like you're doing. You're a crit build, right?

[alpine parrot]

added rage fountain to totem now for more dmg

[static plinth]

Extra ring can be a lot of damage but Amazon is probably more since it's a ton of crit

[alpine parrot]

i dont have much to extra crit dmg

at all

i think its 130%

but crit chance? ye

its part of why i got 500 accuracy on both weapons

[dawn spire]

20% increased damage is basically nothing btw

[alpine parrot]

so no use trying ritualist?

[static plinth]

130% increased cd bonus? thats like 4.3x damage on crits

[alpine parrot]

ha?

isnt it just from 100 to 230

[static plinth]

wait yeah if you don thave any flat it is

[alpine parrot]

flat?

lemme get on to check stuff

supposed to be studying lmao

[dawn spire]

Been there

[static plinth]

+15% to Critical Damage Bonus is flat CD
100% increased Critical Damage Bonus isnt

+15 makes it 115 by default, so 230

[dawn spire]

Where can you even get flat CD bonus?

[static plinth]

On weapons mainly

[dawn spire]

Ah

[alpine parrot]

ill stay amazon i guess then

[daring veldt]

Does anyone has a build for glacial lance?

[vivid sinew]

what build should i go on my amazon im on the start of act 2 and everything feels mad slow i do no dmg

[warm seal]

Lightning spear. Look up fubgun leveling guide for Amazon on mobalytics

[vivid sinew]

i gave up im switching to witch

😭

[pearl sluice]

My LS is too good, I blow up everything, getting bored. Anyone got a fun build out there right now?

[dusky wadi]

do delriums give you the points leading up to the skill you take?

[night socket]

whats the flat number for max evasion?

[shy lantern]

because of this node the guide says i should aim for a weapon with at least 450 accuracy, but when i sort by dps the dps always seems so low, ig its because it doesnt consider this node here. So i am having trouble finding one, because i always just look at the dps value (trade site). Can anybody give me a tipp or something pls

[static plinth]

Variable

[dusky wadi]

is there a way to see how many total skill points you have?

[midnight obsidian]

/passives

[atomic halo]

dont think that's in poe2

[atomic halo]

check the number of wep swap points you have

that's the number you got from quests

then add your level -1

[pale monolith]

are there any high investment builds in poe 2 like armor stacker in poe 1?

[prime drift]

So why do I have 200 evasion rating but 0% evasion chance? Playing as a huntress, level 11 or so

[dawn spire]

Are you wearing a unique that negates your evasion chance?

Or are you in your hideout or something?

[dawn spire]

Mana stacker was a thing in 0.1 but it's been nerfed at least six different ways. Might still be ok, not sure tho

[prime drift]

ahhh yeah it was on my chest piece. I thought it was that enemies couldn't evade

[slender rivet]

let's say i cast unearth with my first weapon set to create bone constructs,
then i weapon swap.

Will the bone construct get the stats based on my first weapon set even after i swapped?

and would the minions also keep stats from the passive tree in the first set?

[patent shell]

guys good setup for flammabilty ? i use fire damage but cast on ignite is kinda meh i guess ? what do u think ?

[warm seal]

Witch is getting heavily nerfed don't use her

[dusty lance]

Between cast on critical or shock which one is better?

i see builds utilizing both

[vivid sinew]

then what should i go

[fleet blaze]

will this work on amazon without Avidity?

[slender rivet]

Do you have a source for this?

[bold oxide]

what is avidity?

but yes it should work for amazon too. i dont see why it wouldnt

[fleet blaze]

avidity is 30% chance to gain max frenzy charges

[static plinth]

No they're just saying shit because Lich is good rn

[bold oxide]

ohh right that one. yeah it can work without that. youll just have to use the frenzy charge tech that all the amazons use

there are plenty of ways to consistently generate charges

[fleet blaze]

you seem very communicative could you tell me how to do that without me having to google it? i assume, combat frenzy perpetual charge

[bold oxide]

yeah just combat frenzy with profusion and stuff. since youre constantly freezing everything youll have plenty of charges

[warm vector]

Quick question am using the node “Feathered Fletching” which increases dmg based on projectile speed as well as reduces accordingly. If I use the support gem “acceleration” which increases projectile speed shouldn’t the number go up? On the menu or is it like crit where the only way to find out is through the enemies health bar?

[static plinth]

Feathered Fletching specifies "Increases and Reductions," Acceleration and Deceleration support are More and Less, which are not included

[warm vector]

Ok thanks!

[crystal drift]

what should i look for on a jewel for ED lich?

[static plinth]

Withered Effect, max ES, max Res mainly

Skill effect duration, totem life, max fire res are good 3 mod jewels

Or totem placement speed

[crystal drift]

im still in campaign so my res gonna be horrible to like act 2 or 3 cruel

[pseudo gale]

feeling a little scammed that Event Horizon ES cost interrupts ES recharge despite having Eldritch Empowerment

suppose that's because it's not a "cost" like Derange and Eldritch empowerment states, you just "lose" es

[still rock]

correct

i wish earthquake was usable sigh

everytime i look at mace stuff to see any inspiration its just boring shit lol

[flat fjord]

Are there any uniques/skills that would allow you to survive one massive hit of your choosing? Trying to combine the Volatile Power support gem with the autoattack of The Empty Roar unique hammer, building stacks is easy but I need a way to survive the hit after building up a ton of stacks (got 1000 stacks against the titan boss), only thing I can think of is the jade ability of the one warrior ascendancy but I'd prefer to stay a smith of kitava

[pearl sluice]

I can not find Power Siphon in any of the skill gems? Am I missing something?

[flat fjord]

It's only on certain wands

[pearl sluice]

can you use supports on it?

[flat fjord]

yea, it'll appear in your skills like an autoattack

[neat bison]

Higher level wands get more gem slots

[pearl sluice]

Can you link it with other skill gems like cast on crit or not working like that?

[flat fjord]

would be nice if they had skill gems for the wand stuff as well, 1-2 levels make a huge difference in damage, tried doing a bone wand build at launch and it was fun but fell off hard once I hit act 3 and replacing the wand every 3-4 levels just isn't viable since you need +skill and %damage in order for it to not be total trash

I don't think so

[neat bison]

It’s bound to the weapon so you can’t slot it into a meta skill or anything like that

[hazy rapids]

About to lvl a new character any fun builds other than Ls?

[still rock]

lich chaos dot
deadeye crossbow
smith boneshatter
invoker qstaff probably still good
warbringer totems

[patent shell]

is this also for me or only for the monster ?

[still rock]

the monster

[patent shell]

any cool support gem ideas ?

[still rock]

eh their dmg is pretty poor tbh even when speccing into companion nodes, my recommendation is to get support monster mods and then get survivability thru support gems, e.g. meat shield, elemental army, etc

[pearl sluice]

is this 100% crit or not

or does it reallt have to be 100% exact

[atomic halo]

i mean

are you okay with dealing less damage like 1.3% of the time

[still rock]

what is twice crit from?

amazon?

[atomic halo]

tangletongue

[still rock]

ahhh

[atomic halo]

amazon gives the "estimated main hand..."

by my reading though, this implies that they're crit capped even without that node

best to consult pob to be sure

[still rock]

i just sold a good rolled one for like 20, i wasnt expecting them to be popular but i guess it makes sense number wise for certain skills?

[atomic halo]

double crit is really strong

and it has a ton of base crit which makes capping crit trivial

[still rock]

yeah i just thought the base dmg would make it iffy

but i stand corrected

its like 15-20% of a end game spear by flat dmg

[atomic halo]

on amazon it's better at high end to get rare spear

on any other asc it's the best because it lets you cap crit so easily

[still rock]

yeah just a good starter unique seemslike

oh gotcha

im ignoring crit completely, didnt wanna overpay for everything just to kill pinnacles 15% faster

[atomic halo]

double crit = 2x, so 40%, then you can get a corrupt, so like 45%, then the big flat crit saves you tons of investment, so like 80%, etc.

[still rock]

yeah the flat crit is probably the saving grace

20 is a shit ton

does anyone happen to know where stun threshold modeling is on pob

nvm found it

yeesh even with 8k threshold it puts me at a 39% chance to be stunned on a 1.5k hit lmao

es wins again

[fleet blaze]

what's the best meta spear affixes atm?

prefixes
acc
EDWA
cold

acc
phys
phys

suffixes
ias
crit
crit?

[still rock]

entirely contextual

[fleet blaze]

for amazon

[atomic halo]

pretty sure cold and edwa are mid

still looking for phys and acc primarily

[still rock]

try making three different ones in pob with the stat combos you think would be good but id wager acc hybrid/phys%/and flat phys are best

[atomic halo]

crit bonus > crit chance if you're huntress i think

[still rock]

also utility suffixes can be nice like life leech if you dont have life leech on ring or gloves, or extra stun buildup. but ultimately ias and crit bonus then whatever third one you want yeah

amazon seems to crit cap so easily idk if the flat crit on weapon even matters

[midnight obsidian]

you're talking about the bugged tooltip that isn't a quarter?

[hybrid ocean]

Does this guy work with barrier invocation?

[real patrol]

manifest weapon, smith o kitava skill, do I need my main hand weapon up, or can I switch it to my second weapon and still have it up? Also, any particular weapon best with the skill?

[dawn spire]

No, BI only gains energy when your ES takes damage from enemy hits

[hybrid ocean]

Figures

Thought I remembered something to that effect- I haven't launched the game for a couple of weeks

[shrewd socket]

why does pinpoint not increase my cirtical chance for impending doom(doom blast)

[still rock]

my only guess is that supports that have active effects cannot be supported by "Supports any skill that..." supports (since it's not a skill)

because i think its the same for others

but im still learning about supports supporting supports

[swift estuary]

Hey sister Lich's. So I decided to try a 3x Curse control build and so far it's working out really really well.

I have Despair and Temp Chain on Blashemy with Ritualistic Curse (huge range on both. Covers entire screen. Everything gets slow and weak. )

I cast Enfeeble (5m radius) with Decay Hex, then effigy, then a Contagion, and watch as stuff explodes.

Whispers of Doom, Dominion over Flesh, and Zone of Control make it work.

[still rock]

did you try in game and check tool;tip? im mostly curious

id like to find some rules for when supports affect supports and when they dont

[shrewd socket]

yeh i just tried but there is no tooltip for doom blast

xD

cuz its a support and not a activ gem

[still rock]

ah yeah it doesnt show anywhere

lame

i was hoping it might add a extra tab on the curse's extra tooltip window

oh well, earlyaccess.jpg

[distant dome]

has anyone found a place to farm a companion that's this cost or less? I only found 1 bramble ape rare in an hour of searching - I think it was capable of spawning only inside an essence as rare. 24.9% spirit reservation or cheaper would be best.

Needs to be able to roll haste aura, so no "fast_movement" mobs

[still rock]

the only one im aware of is the quadrilla spot in a3 but its 42%

from my experience in trying to find other beast bases to use its probably not worth your time - just havea spare tame beast in your skills if you want to find one randomly while playing, otherwise use the quadrilla so you can get exactly the mods you want (or get lucky on something else)

that being said i dont think quadrilla can roll haste aura anymore

[gaunt ether]

is there a reason i never see people do armor es

[still rock]

armor sucks

but i did armor es on my titan caster cause of opportunity cost

wasnt bad

[narrow thistle]

Ok guys so hear me out tactician minion build with frost bomb minion and The fallen Formation Lamellar Mail using 4 points to get the place multiple banner nodes and the full pin nodes group

[gaunt ether]

did you try with that new tideshaper?

[narrow thistle]

I’m kinda thinking about trying it but not sure how all the extra minion dmg plus the pin would work

[gaunt ether]

mana stack for armor

[still rock]

no this was 0.1

[narrow thistle]

Or if they can even pin

[still rock]

and it was blood magic

i havent evaluated the efficacy of waveshaper, but if you look at a normalish mana stacker youre at abt 2k mana, so thats at best 1k armor

seems bad

you can get like 1200+ easy on a rare ar/es base

[static plinth]

Waveshaper is dogshit for the most part, especially since it has a rough analogue in Mutable Star thats kinda just better

[still rock]

even if it gave you 100% of mana as armor its still like

so what

lol

[grave granite]

the added damage from penetrate should affect stomping ground, no? how come it doesn't show on pob?

[ripe jay]

Can anyone tell me if you can scale decaying hex support dot with chaos dmg increase or nagative chaos resistance to mobs or it only scales with intelligence?

[atomic halo]

both works

[atomic halo]

no because its not from your weapon

[grave granite]

OH

gotcha thank you

[ripe jay]

Dont understand what you mean by both? I can scale it with chaos dmg increases as well?

[atomic halo]

inc. chaos works, -chaos res works

[uncut trout]

What would you guys suggest to build a good amount of life or ES on huntress? Lvl 74 and I only have 1317 life and 12 ES

[atomic halo]

both work

[uncut trout]

My damage is good but I'm made of paper

[somber marsh]

Hey I have a question, I have a huntress lightning build going and I don’t feel like it’s a lot of fun. Should I go build a gemling build or lich witch? Or stick with the huntress ?

[atomic halo]

at higher investment, like the same amount of life and double the es

oh i don mean double like double ur curren

like double ur current life total

[ripe jay]

Ok, I doesnt show increases on tool tip it only shows dps as flat int value. So i was wondering

[uncut trout]

OK but I mean how would i go about achieving that

[ripe jay]

I assume fire dmg and stuff affects burning inscription too

[uncut trout]

I understand ES trumps health tho

[atomic halo]

pathing to monk on tree, getting hybrid body instead of pure eva

[uncut trout]

I searched hybrid body but not seeing a node highlighted, what does it do?

[atomic halo]

that just means a body armour with evasion and energy shield both

instead of just evasion

[uncut trout]

Yeah that's fair

[atomic halo]

when in doubt check pob

[uncut trout]

Guess I just need invest in enough int to use good hybrid gear

[atomic halo]

you want to path to spectral ward

maybe immaterial

subterfuge mask path to or annoint

[uncut trout]

I'm not seeing spectral ward

[atomic halo]

up monk area

[uncut trout]

I'm searching it in the bar but not seeing it, maybe I'm blind

[atomic halo]

at the top right of the box

[ripe jay]

True im kinda a noob at it but i was actually doin that just now

[uncut trout]

I googled it and it's def a thing lol

Just not seeing it

[atomic halo]

i mean if you cant find it even with this image

[uncut trout]

Wait let me look now that you posted that path

Nah discord updated slow

I hadnt seen that image yet

Okay I see it now

Really out of the way from where I am but might go for it

[atomic halo]

you really want to path to true strike/for the jugular crit area

its a lot of damage

[uncut trout]

Does it work well for lightning spear?

[atomic halo]

yeah

[uncut trout]

That's what I'm running

Tbh it isn't actually super far if I respec

I already went up to the line that runs cardinal east from the center

[atomic halo]

idk how it works with the amazon node

its weird

[remote narwhal]

Ok my question is does this take in weapon crit chance

[atomic halo]

what exactly do you mean by that

[uncut trout]

All the nodes I would give up are additive projectile damage nodes, think it's worth dropping them?

[atomic halo]

it takes the crit of the skill

which is based off of the base crit of the wep

[uncut trout]

You can check the crit chance on a skill to skill basis

[remote narwhal]

It's a passive tree thing

[uncut trout]

Which is your weapon crit plus modifiers

[remote narwhal]

^

[atomic halo]

im asking what you mean by does it take in weapon crit chance

because it doesn't directly look at your weapon

but the weapon's crit is inevitably factored in

[remote narwhal]

Does it consider that in it

[remote narwhal]

Lightning spear correct???

[atomic halo]

yeah

[uncut trout]

Would it not just be the number it shows in the dps tab for the skill?

[remote narwhal]

That's what me and another guy are talking on rn

[atomic halo]

also i gtg soon, figure it out but it mostly depends where said nodes are

[uncut trout]

Yeah I'll figure it out

Thanks!

[remote narwhal]

We really havent made a conclusion on if it would be a viable change to the build or not

[dusky wadi]

what are good instills for smith of kitava warrior?

[shrewd crane]

how do you add a fifth slot to "infuse weapon" ascendancy?

[spark ingot]

lvl90

[sacred pelican]

where does Tabula Rasa drop from?

[spark ingot]

global drop

[gaunt ether]

Is flicker strike good in this game

Thinking of rolling a monk

[cosmic tulip]

I do not know what am I foing wrong , I play a huntress spear build but I can't one shot the trash mobs in maps... and The frenzy generation is a bit inconsistent ...

I will push like this to lvl 70 and change my spear, mb that will fix it

in The lightning spear build *

[gaunt ether]

are you using snipers mark + crit (accuracy stacking with ascendancy)

and combat frenzy + electrocute on a skill to proc it

If you dont have kitokos

[cosmic tulip]

I am , I think I just do not have enough raw dmg , on Lightning spear I have 14000 accuracy

[gaunt ether]

Whats your spear links

[restive prawn]

as a smith sunder totem, is armor our es better?

[austere ivy]

are there any spectres or tame beasts that commit suicide attacks?

[eager galleon]

has anyone figured out how pinpoint shot works with the Amazon ascendancy crit node? reading it leads me to believe it would infinitely loop until you had max crit chance, but i highly doubt that's actually the case

[austere ivy]

im playing a thorns build so I want things to be attacking me so i thought maybe a suicidal minion would be cool

[north pivot]

Any cool tech / cool builds going around boys? (Non Lightning Spear)

[spark ingot]

Thorns, or if you are Wealthy.... Fire Thorns

[rich bolt]

Does anyone know if the amulet of yix and necromantic Talisman node work now?

[opaque bluff]

is there more than just the 5% ES bypass available somewhere/somehow?

[indigo valley]

how good is this node ? with my 34% armor

[spark ingot]

up to 27%, 10% lich node, 5% Tree node, and 10%(up to 12% corrupted) unique helmet

[quasi flint]

is Master of hexes worth taking for a curse setup with weapon swap?

[north pivot]

35 divs for Cherno shield. Jesus.

[spark ingot]

you can play without it, but we all know , thats a lot of dmg. PLUS!!! you can corrupt it for "40-50% increased thorns damage".... it would probably cost a Mirror minimum

[narrow grail]

Has anyone tested fire spell on melee hit? I was thinking of build with that and maybe red blade banner for more procs. All the meta/energy nodes are on top right of the tree so pathing will be weird, not sure how hard it will be to reach int requirements for spells you want to trigger.

[near jewel]

guys, old noob with skill issues here - i got spoiled by my ancestral totem titan /4 x ritual, 3 x breach, 2 x arbiter so far; easy mode/ with 1 skill on the bar. are there any sim ilar builds? lwo apm, no fancy rotations? smith of kitava with autoattack and a supp totem would be okk? i want to try this ascendency but without totems.

[proven rapids]

is there a way to add flat damage to spell in poe2 ?

[opaque bluff]

spell levels. It makes it so flat damage would not scale well.

[void osprey]

Hello, for Amazons's Penetrate Ascendancy node, does it take just the Spears base Accuracy rating or does it take the accuracy of the spear + the skill?
For example my Lightning Spear has 9459 accuracy in the tooltip. Does that get taken into account?
Asking cuz i wanna know how valueable is the Bullseye support gem

[static torrent]

Only the stat on the Spear itself.

Otherwise, any build that gets even a little Accuracy would have hundreds, if not thousands, of flat Phys damage basically for free, which would be incredibly broken.

[void osprey]

now that u say it out loud, my question sounds silly lol

So in that case Bullseyes support gem is not that strong/ good right?

[static torrent]

It would only affect the gains from the node that makes excess accuracy apply to crit chance.

[dusty kiln]

what do you think is the best instil for a lightning spear build? im currently eying harmonic generator and overwhelming strike

[frank ridge]

can also consider serrated edges or critical exploit

[granite jetty]

in PoE2 do iron grasp/iron will stack? I know they didn't in poe1 but seems a lot of people are using the combination together in PoE 2 with crown of eyes + irongrasp chest plate?

[scenic zodiac]

What is a good warrior leveling loadout? Weapons/Armor/Boots,etc..

[vapid gust]

A little very needed help please. Assuming a javazon LS build with decent rings, which is better (I swear I don't really feel any difference while playing both): a flat 460 phys DPS rare spear or a 23% crit TT? Cheers

[dusty kiln]

If i ignore resistances (beacon of azis) conductivity (reducing lightning resist) becomes useless, right?

[uncut umbra]

I'm trying to build a stomp - thorns bleed/aggravate setup.
https://poe2.ninja/pob/320a
I'm currently leveling a new warbringer for it. It levels very smoothly so problems there. But I could use a different set of eyes to check out if there are any glaring problems as I'm leveling so I might prep for it beforehand.
I went for generic damage bonuses for both stomp and thorns. Also got 100% bleed chance and about 100% magnitude. about 10% crit chance for stomp no idea for thorns since it is not shown on pob. Defences aim is to cap block, resists, and get leech/overleech from thorns
(I wish I could fit atziri's acuity in there but too many uniques resist capping becomes really hard even now it dpeends on corrupted uniques for extra sockets for resists)

[manic mauve]

https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Crown_of_Eyes

It would appear that they do not

[thin basin]

Can finally get to play today is spark ded? How much dmg lost? Like still ok for clear? I dont intend to boss with it

[granite jetty]

That's PoE1 wiki 😅

I know they don't in PoE1, but it seems PoBuilding for two shows them stacking

but unsure if that's a PoBuilding error

[ruby forum]

yo guys, how can i work around never having any energy shield cause of event horizon

[inland nebula]

https://poe2.ninja/pob/3040

I would like to make a Spire of Ire Chaos infusion Amazon build possible, what is the best way of doing so?

I can't inflict ailments like shock, electrocute, etc, which lowers DPS/Survivability, though i could get shock / chill possibly from a companion.
I can't use heralds, due to pure chaos damage. (Herald of Ash would work, sure, but HoA sucks, and my Base DPS isn't enough to make it reasonably worth it)

Anyone got any advice?

[fiery scaffold]

in the market do these values include the runes?

[inland nebula]

yeah]

[fiery scaffold]

ive been so lucky lately crafting things like these for less than 3 exalted

[north heart]

Do y’all have that ultimate health flask? Don’t you only get a few charges sadly?

[forest crater]

Can I post a link?

[swift estuary]

Possibly the exploding corpse's that run at you in the last map of act 3?

[arctic sigil]

What are some good early game lvling uniques for essence drain lich

[fleet blaze]

having a little trouble understanding Amazon's accuracy spear phys dps and crit stuff. Does POB handle all of this itself? I just equipped a 500acc spear vs my 100acc and my crit didn't change.

yea acc doesn't go above 100%

[fallen dune]

Can someone send me a good build for a kitava warrior. I'm in act 3 right after the caravan.

[sacred pelican]

why does my PoB say %60 movement speed while the same items on someone else's PoB on poe2ninja says 134% ?

[halcyon solar]

how do you figure out by how much you are above 100% hit rating for the ascendancy node?

[proud sinew]

Is there anything in game that lets you have no unit collision?

[proud sinew]

no clue but here it is translated into crit

[halcyon solar]

ye but you can't see the effect isolated

[proud sinew]

yep idk how either

[fallow tulip]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/ll6y807f

this is where I'm at with my build atm

I'm still figuring out if the companion nodes are worth it

[patent shell]

do u guys think its worth to go avatar of fire with leapslame ? if 33% of my dmg is fire dmg ?

[jagged wave]

Does anyone know from what sources I can get endurance charges? I know about breaking armor to get them, but is there anything else? Something like blocking or smth?

[static torrent]

You get them if you do the timed block with Magma Barrier, as well.

There's also this notable to gain an Endurance Charge on Heavy Stunning a Rare or Unique enemy

And with Resonance, anything that would give a Power Charge will instead give an Endurance Charge

[proud light]

Does anyone know if, while using rusted spikes, if I pin and bleed with the same hit, does it aggrivate the bleed?

[jagged wave]

Oohh this could be it

I just need a way to get endurance charges in boss battles. I'm using resonance so i'm thinking this could be the way

If something goes wrong with the initial plan

[burnt gust]

I am playing galvanic atm but contemplating to swap to Lightning Spear. I heard it needs flat dmg on rings/gloves. I have 39 fire, 33 phy and 25 lightning on those in sum. a) is fire ok? b) are the values fine to make LS feel good?

[little rock]

any of you running crit minion build or know the numbers for it?

I need help deciding between going crit with a malice sceptre or just buy one with skeletal warriors

[bronze sand]

"You have no life regeneration" doesnt prevent leech life regen right?

[austere reef]

It should show once you select the ascendancy node

[atomic halo]

correct, life leech will still recover life.

[narrow trench]

Do you think using essence drain and contagion and dark effigy could work well with chrono sorc?

[hoary bolt]

sure yeah

[alpine pecan]

PoB says Incinerate can bleed with blood mage and lacerate. Does anyone know if this is a lie?

[winter knoll]

Hey, maybe we can build something with caltrops supp gem, 60% of dex as phys damage, stack dex and thorn 🤷‍♂️

[cosmic tulip]

I don't understand how people do so much dmg with huntress lightning spear , I put the mark on the boss and the lightning rods on him and it does not do any dmg , I have to pun a spear on top of it as well ..

an explosive spear on top

[ruby forum]

is there any way to work around event horizon leaving me with no energy shield?

[spark ingot]

it's preventing recharge?

[ruby forum]

yea, it legit doesnt recharge if i use any skill

[silver inlet]

Does Iron reflexes work with Stay light use cover?

Or does it brick your capped 50% EV

[spark ingot]

i don't think that is should prevent recharge as it's "Lose" not "damage" , and in PoE1 Losing didn't prevent recharges...

PoE2 difference, or bug that no one think is a bug 🤔 on poe ninja, no one except one person uses Event Horizon

[calm lava]

Does Tactician's "Suppressing Fire/Right Where We Want Them" apply to allies as well, or just pin that you personally build up? How does Right Where We Want Them work with teammates?

[spark ingot]

Does it mention allies?

[ruby forum]

thanks you, must be a bug

[dawn spire]

Yes. I think chrono with chaos dot is really really good. Doesn't have the damage of lich, but who needs damage when you can basically keep convalesence up whenever you want?

[slender bone]

How can I improve Chaos Lich damage in Act 2 ? I die to everything and I do 0 damage....

[dawn spire]

I'd give #1328202289755983932 a read. It goes over what to look for on gear for damage and survival.

The only thing in the "good mods for spells" section you don't want is %damage gained as extra. That doesn't work for DoTs. Speaking of which, what ascendancy nodes did you take first?

[slender bone]

Its not like I got any drops.. loot is shit during the campaign. I got Soulless Form.

[dawn spire]

For gems I'd recommend ED+zenith+swift affliction
Contagion + magnified effect + persistence

[dawn spire]

Are you DEing, selling, salvaging, checking vendors, etc? You shouldn't be having issues acquiring gear in the campaign.

That guide also goes over how to get more resources and to use them efficiently to make/buy upgrades

My guess is that you're not picking up/IDing/selling/crafting magic (blue) items

A magic item with two good mods is way better than a rare with 5 bad ones

And if the blue has two great mods, regal it and cross your fingers

[slender bone]

I have had this since the second zone

It is the only good thing that I got

Nothing from drops, nothing from vendors. NOTHING

Only white rings and amulets. Literaly its like I have -100 MF

[dawn spire]

Are you picking up white wands and transmuting/augmenting them?

[slender bone]

I varely have orbs

[dawn spire]

And IDing blue wands on the ground and checking vendors?

I guess act 2 you might be a little short. But are you picking up basically every blue item that drops and also white jewelry? White jewelry vendors for a lot of gold.

If you're leaving blues on the ground, especially ones that take up 4 slots or less, you're kneecapping yourself in the campaign (at least for your first playthrough)

[slender bone]

I do sell everything and I do ID everything.

[dawn spire]

But do you pick up everything?

[slender bone]

Not everything. I don't want to stay 10 hours in a single map. But I do wands, scepters, etc

What I can potentially use and all rares

[molten birch]

How many in game meters wide is the screen?

[dawn spire]

If you're dying a lot, it sounds like your other gear is pretty bad and you should pick up and ID blues for upgrades

[dawn spire]

Depends on your resolution. If you hover over the presence area in your character sheet, it should show a green circle around you. That presence radius is 4m by default

[molten birch]

Tracking default. Just trying to figure out how many meters I need for screen wide.

[calm lava]

No... It just says "Pinned Enemies Cannot Perform Actions"

Does it mean "Pinned Enemies By You Cannot Perform Actions"?

[dawn spire]

It would work for totems because they inherit your offensive stats. But other allies, I don't think so

[calm lava]

Oh dang, ok. Thanks!

[dawn spire]

Oh, you were the one asking

We got there

[calm lava]

Yeah sorry

[dawn spire]

Nah, I misread

[dawn spire]

Pretty much, yeah

[proven rapids]

in poe2, any loss prevent recharge, that include mana cost, life cost and sacrifice

which sucks

honestly

[solar walrus]

What is the safest bosser in this update

With the most defences but ability to kill

[spark ingot]

true, i was in this new PoE1 Half-league Bog Shaman life stacker enjoyer 😦 Ratpith globe was a way 😦

[proven rapids]

yeah it's so stupid, just killing build variety for no reason

[spark ingot]

but they Said that it's "How it's supposed to work" or just no one asks if it's a bug

[proven rapids]

I wanted to build something around this and blood magic and eternal youth and then I realised life cost was considered a loss and eternal youth wouldn't work

it's explicity said that it's supposed to work like this

[spark ingot]

Why....

[proven rapids]

I don't know...

[dawn spire]

I guess the permanently-recharging ES with poe1 EB wasn't what they wanted

[proven rapids]

but there's not even EB in poe2

[dawn spire]

No, but the lich node adds ES costs to skills

[proven rapids]

I mean EB isn't the same at all

[dawn spire]

They're future proofing

They don't want ES costs to be "free" like with EB in poe1

If you have MoM and ES, what do you lose first - mana or ES?

[proven rapids]

mana, ES is still protecting life

[knotty cloud]

Is Infuse weapon triggered in passive way or a button click?

[dawn spire]

Yeah, I guess I wasn't sure because es and mana would both say, "take damage from X before life"

[dawn spire]

Passively

[proven rapids]

passive way, you need to spend charge by any mean to trigger it

[dawn spire]

Consuming charges boosts your subsequent projectiles

[fallow tulip]

do you guys think acolyte of chayula will get reworked?

[graceful stag]

does rage not apply to bow attacks? trying to get it to work with gas arrow

rage forged doesnt seem to do anything either in pob

specifically the poison

[cedar tulip]

I'm not crazy right? Rageforged and exploit weakness should work with corrupting blood from corrupting cry right?

[cedar tulip]

In PoE1 attack damage does not increase the damage of poisons inflicted by the attack ^^ I assume it might be the same here

[zinc mango]

I'm working a caster smith rn (maybe silly but ) How are the elemental spell types all doing rn, Not sure which element i should lean, and i'm lookin for opinions

[graceful stag]

u can only use fire that the on hit attack

[celest blaze]

I have a few spectre questions. Does anyone have a recommendation for a specter that can reliably apply shock to a very high HP target?

Doryani's elite maybe?

[zinc mango]

I was planning on going pretty heavy caster, just using the smith ascension, There arent any int melee weapons right now are there? if so i might do that

[celest blaze]

I'm looking for a support specter of some kind and I'm avatar or fire, so being able to get a shock applied would be amazing

[graceful stag]

u can just get a really low level base with a high item level and slam attack speed on it

[languid mason]

Does Witchbane and No Mercy work for my totems?

[maiden raft]

question: does temporalis affect combat frenzy proc rate?

[oblique marlin]

hey folks, what Prefixes on rings useful for Lich? only % Chaos damage and thats all looks like?

[spark ingot]

no

[dawn spire]

Corrupting blood isn't a hit, so exploit weakness won't work with it. If it's linked to seismic cry, then seismic cry's hit damage will be affected, but not the corrupting blood

[elfin glen]

i've searched around a fair amount and can't seem to find a legit answer to: does Path of Building calculate tangletongue forked crits? and is there a patch i can get that adds that calculation into PoB?

[cedar tulip]

Corrupting blood support does say that the warcry applies corrupting blood, increases to warcry damage does increase the damage of corrupting blood. So I can only assume it's part of the warcry. As exploit weakness does not specify that the damage is just for hits and is generic damage, I still think it should work

But even if that is the case rageforged does not work either and it does not specify hits in any way

[tidal birch]

Is Ember Fusillade just straight up bad? Like it is just mechanically "dumb". Shooting projectiles into walls and onto random objects that can be destroyed.
It feels like all the tier 1-2 spells for Sorc are terrible? Even flamewall + spark is clunky as hell.

[frigid pawn]

Why is trinity soo badddd

[halcyon solar]

What's the smartest way to look up the possible outcomes of like Essence of X on the different equipment pieces?

[bold oxide]

its actually really good tho

[frigid pawn]

Its really bad if you want to use multiple elements. Just raise the resonance cap to 120 so I can juggle

[dawn spire]

Are you sure you have enough rage when you use rage forged? Rage forged should definitely work based on the wording.

Exploit weakness does not. "40% more damage" from exploit weakness is not warcry damage.

Exploit weakness specificially gives the damage to the thing that consumes the armor. Since only a hit can do that, that damage bonus cannot apply to the CB

[near jewel]

do u think bled shield charge warrior is viable?

[cedar tulip]

yeah, I am sure ^^ I can see it consume the rage and the hit damage is also increased when it does so

[inland nebula]

Any advice frogs?

[cedar tulip]

exploit has a slight difference in how it seems to work from the flavour text and the support gem text. One says that it just deals more damage if the enemy is armour broken. But the lower text says it needs to consume. The flavour text wording I feel would make it so it applies to corrupting blood but the later text would not allow it ^^ So a little torn on what to believe there

[jagged pawn]

does anyone know if Venom Draught of Clarity (Grants 25% increased Mana Regeneration Rate) does nothing when the Lich ascendancy's Soulless Form passive (No inherent Mana Regeneration) is allocated?

[leaden veldt]

is huntress critical strike ascendency passive additive or multiplicative? say I have main hand 20% crit chance, but says 54-90% estimated main hand critical chance from hit chance.
is it, 74% minimum crit chance? or 20% * 1.54?

[jagged pawn]

"additional" means additive, and isn't it 25% of your excess chance to hit?

[leaden veldt]

ahh, gotcha. It's the excess after 100%, I was wondering how is pob getting the +8.25% crit chance. I have 133% chance so 25% of that is 8.25. tnxtnx

[elfin dock]

does ingenuity scale onslaught granted from deathrush on kill effect?

[dawn spire]

Yeah there are a lot of inconsistencies between yellow and blue text I've noticed. I don't know which one to trust :/

[dawn spire]

Also exploit weakness says it only supports skills that hit enemies. Corrupting blood doesn't hit

[dawn spire]

I don't think so. I think it only scales the duration, if anything.

If you hold alt over death rush, does it say "unscalable value"?

On any mods

[dawn spire]

74% min actual crit chance (assuming your chance to hit estimate is accurate, which is questionable)

[atomic halo]

no

it needs to be something that's written on the item

[cedar tulip]

Corrupting cry states that the support warcry applies corrupting blood, so it should not be it's own triggered skill. It's fully part of the warcry itself as far as I can tell and I feel anything that applies to the warcry should apply to the corrupting blood. Otherwise I don't think warcry damage would apply to it. But even so rageforged is also bugged, so perhaps it's generally "consume" which is the problem. But the consume on rageforged does not link to the consume keyword like exploit, so I'm uncertain they are the same type of consume

For example something like stomping ground triggers it's own separate attack and does not inherit any properties from the travel skill it supports. (not tested if specific weapon damage applies to it but I think not)

[dawn spire]

Unfortunately, even if exploit weakness worked with CC, it would only boost one stack. So you'd be better off just using corrupting cry a second time than using exploit weakness

Unless you're breaking armor between each application, but that sounds like a lot

[cedar tulip]

applying corrupting blood refreshes all other stacks ^^ can only assume that if a higher damage stack is applied it will overwrite the lowest damage stack, so yeah it's a lot of upkeep until I get 10 high damage stacks, then I can keep refreshing those I assume

[dawn spire]

I'm not sure how that works with new applications actually

But it sounds like a fun thing to try to test

[cedar tulip]

So I would get enough rage gain to get 10 per melee hit on armour breaker. Break enough armour to fully break in one hit. Then hit, cry, hit, cry

[dawn spire]

Warbringer I presume?

[cedar tulip]

but with those two not working

smith actually ^^ better non RNG defence (not a fan of block as a defence) and I think higher top end with 20% inc str

[dawn spire]

How are you gonna deal with warcry cooldown?

Pin?

Oh that won't work if you're hitting with other stuff actually

[cedar tulip]

with a low level warcry and running high level maps, enemies super rarely get stunned before I kill them ^^

[dawn spire]

But if you're cycling armor breaker...

Unless you remove stun from that somehow

[cedar tulip]

that would just be on bosses and rares, so I can keep a eye on the stun bar

armour breaker also does not stun much at all as it's just there to break armour and gain rage, my weapon is just gonna be attack speed, str and +melee levels

[dawn spire]

And Smith is there for giga res and tankiness I presume

[cedar tulip]

yeah :3 opens a ton of suffixes so, can just get chaos res/str and fire res without paying millions

[steep nacelle]

Did they break all cast-on builds?

[dawn spire]

Define 'break'? And do you mean with 0.2?

They're still doable as far as I know. The 2nd place hcssf build at one point was a cold chrono that utilized cast on freeze comet. It wasn't their only damage source, but it was used

[steep nacelle]

Okay. Cast on minion death srs does not build charges anymore at least. Not slower. Does not build at all, with all meta passives allocated.

I was thinking of trying a cast on hit, cast on crit smith, but there are a lot of levels before you reach a meta node to boost output.

[static torrent]

Raging Spirits aren't Persistent Minions, they are temporary ones.

[proud chasm]

Anyone good lich build

[steep nacelle]

Ah, thank you. I missed that change.

[dawn spire]

Essence drain + Contagion + dark effigy lich seems to be pretty popular

[proud chasm]

Do you have link
I play at moment with skeletons mage

[dawn spire]

I'd check maxroll, I'm on mobile and I don't have a link on hand. I just wing it. Personally I like chronomancer so a sorc will also work

[steep nacelle]

I try to stay away from guides, just wanted to know if someone had played a cast-on build successfully yet, this league.

[tidal birch]

How good/bad is solar orb for leveling?

[dawn spire]

I've heard good things about it in 0.1, but I haven't heard anything since 0.2 and the flameblast change

[steep nacelle]

Solar orb alone doesn't do much, but if you combine it with snipers or frozen orb, it will do really well.

[tidal birch]

How good/bad is Ember Fusillade for leveling?

[gaunt ether]

does increases to minion attack work on all summons

like frost mage

[halcyon solar]

I'm still confused about what shocks and what electrocutes O.o

[static plinth]

Lightning damage shocks, nothing electrocutes by default

[halcyon solar]

i just read about Storm Lance electrocuting a boss

while it's Lightning which is supposed to shock 😮

[static plinth]

There's a support that makes lightning damage electrocute instead of shock

[dawn spire]

I've only ever leveled with spark/orb of storms, lightning rod/orb of storms, and essence drain/contagion so I can't say

@tidal birch

[tidal birch]

Sorry, Im confused? I dont know how that relates to my question?

[static plinth]

You replied to them asking how Ember Fusilade was, they replied they havent used it?

[tidal birch]

Oh. Lol I miss read. My bad. I read I "never" but he said "only".

[dawn spire]

Ah

Uber reading truly the hardest boss, all good

[static plinth]

Are there any ways to force a chill besides frostbolt?

[dawn spire]

Frost nexus forces chilled ground when you freeze and enemy if that counts

[stark kestrel]

Has anybody got the recombinator to be useful?

[atomic halo]

alk's been using it pretty well

[static plinth]

I suppose since i have chaotic freeze but that builds real slow

[atomic halo]

just using it for 1+1 and sometimes 1+2, usually 10-25% success rates

[vast folio]

Boys, I can't equip vitality on Overwhelming presence... Any ideas? 😐

[neat bison]

It costs 20 spirit

[dawn spire]

Do you have vitality on something else already?

And yeah, it adds spirit cost

[vast folio]

nope, had to go to all gems, get the vitality, and equip in manually. bug moment

[dawn spire]

Oh, so you could equip it just fine, you just couldn't cut it directly into overwhelming presence?

[neat burrow]

does anyone have any advice for farming a specific beast for tame beast?
ie i want an osseodon, not one of those 3 guarentee spawn ones everyone farms. ive just been running around act 5 bone pits and resetting is there any way i can be any more efficient?

cuz damn this sucks

[pearl sluice]

What is your interpretation of "while using" on support gems that have xy while using skill
Mine is during the attack time/cast time

[atomic halo]

yeah

[opaque bluff]

does reduced skill duration make volatility explode faster?

[dawn spire]

Based on the wording, it doesn't seem like that 4 seconds is a duration

[neat bison]

Maybe expedite support?

It says detonation

Not sure it would be compatible though

[gray ferry]

hey, do these kinds of soul cores that convert a portion of attribute requirements convert it for everything you use, or just the piece of equipment you slot it into?

[neat bison]

It’s local to the item

[gray ferry]

oof, thanks

[steep nacelle]

I am unsure if my spectres utilize the wildshards gem. Anyone know if it's working?

[dusty wagon]

Warrior must be the hardest class to run, right?

[static plinth]

Completely dominated the race to act 3 event
shit i guess

[dusty wagon]

Yeah I seen that, just feels rough on this one for me - I just setup a lich build and it’s so much easier 🥹

[dusty wagon]

You running it?

[pearl sluice]

can raging spirits even ignite? i have chance to ignite on them and am infernalist that all damage contributes to ignite.

but i stood here for 5 minutes waiting for them to ignite an enemy and shootiung the other way to summon them

[brazen granite]

quick question: do critical strikes scale ailment damage/chance?

[night socket]

is there a way to check how much evasion this can get if i socket greater iron runes and max quality?

[dark lichen]

Path of Building or a planner online

[pearl sluice]

891 = 183%
891/183 = 1% = X
X100 = 100% = BaseEvasion
Y1.2 = BaseEvasionWithQuality
BEWQ * (1.83+0.35) = End Evasion

Dont ask me why but i had to do this.

[night socket]

where do i do it

[dark lichen]

Quality + to 20.
S + to 2, and then add runes in the new drop downs

[night socket]

ohh ok thank u so much

[cunning creek]

just do 891 x 1.70 ?

[night socket]

this is wat i got

is it suppose to be that 1514 number?

[dark lichen]

That's why I use PoB. I trust their math over me knowing every calculation

[cunning creek]

sorry I thought the 891 was without the mods

if you hold alt on the item can you see the base evasion

[keen scroll]

I can't seem to "activate" Wither in PoB2. I have Withering Presence as a skill and have it enabled, but in the config it doesn't allow me to set Wither stacks. I can find it in the disabled configs but it says I need a source of Wither, which I have. Is there a way to force it in the custom section?

[ionic spoke]

Herald of blood is such a missed opportunity. I've been trying to make a build that just stands in the middle of a pack rapid assaulting like crazy and outleeching damage while enemies pop in blood explosions around me like a proper king Leonidas but it just doesn't work T_T

Need a petition to make stuck spear explode on death to enable SPARTAAA build

[midnight obsidian]

you could try a thorns build where you just get hit but that build isn't the fastest at clearing

[supple jay]

does stun charm work with rhoa mount?

[static plinth]

Currently bugged so it doesnt, i think

[halcyon solar]

what did you have to add on the trade site to a stat if you wanna write the "vague" description?

[ionic spoke]

Yeah thinking thorns too. Not exactly what i have in mind but close. Just need to find that helmet.

[sturdy yoke]

any good decent ST attacks for the warrior i can implement in my build that can help take bosses down please? really struggling with Mektul on cruel

[atomic halo]

as a workaround you can input "nearby enemies take #% increased chaos damage" in custom mods

[uncut trout]

Is mings heart durability hit worth the damage?

[atomic halo]

sure, if you can build around it

if you just slap it on any build you'll have issues

[uncut trout]

So building around it would be focusing on increasing chaos damage?

I'm not intending to do that tbh, just curious

[summer thicket]

starting a new char and have no idea what to build. what is the best mapping builds right now?

[patent shell]

guys why does primal armament give me 25% more dmg but i have zero elemental dmg on my weapon ? i only have 150% gain extra fire damage from my infernal cry

[atomic halo]

its just more elemental damage with attacks using your weapon

[normal pumice]

0.35 is from iron runes?

[hybrid ocean]

perfect strike does fire damage

It converts your physical

[atomic halo]

(891/1.83)*(1+0.83+0.5)*1.2 = 1361

[lethal epoch]

how do i know the real dps of my lightning spear build in POB? whenever i click on the power report function to see which passives would boost my full dps, it always points to extra maximum frenzy charges

[dawn spire]

It's assuming you're using it with max frenzy charges. It's a new gem so I'm not sure if pob has support for setting the frenzy charges to a fixed amount. Is there an option in the drop-down to set it to use zero?

You could also try setting your frenzy charges to zero in the config tab

[uncut trout]

Kitoko negative attack rate is additive, not multi, right?

[pale hatch]

What ways exist to make life recoup apply to energy shield?

[lethal epoch]

i'm currently at work but will try doing that to see if the power report changes at all

because the pob keeps prioritizing frenzy charges for dps increase currently so it's kind of hard to know if that's true or not. especially because i'm using barrage as well to improve its damage

[uncut trout]

If I need to drop either wind dancer or herald of thunder to slot combat frenzy, which one should I drop? Lightning spear build
