2┃build-planning

[brisk leaf]

OK, according to PoB it appears to apply as snapshot

I'll just go with that for now...

[still rock]

better than nothing lol

but wouldnt trust it 100%

though the pob guys probably know about 5x as much as i do abt game calculations

[chilly trellis]

I see, so I can just pick the usual damage nodes then. Thanks

[haughty dove]

so with the new patch am I able to make my gem lining a amazon.

[still rock]

wut

amazon is huntress

so no

gemling is merc

[haughty dove]

oh ok wasnt sure was hoping i could be lazy and not roll a new toon

thank you for help

[naive tiger]

is there any alternative for POB?

any website or program

the UI of Pob is so bad

[burnt void]

what corrupt do ppl want on their scared flames?

[agile cosmos]

Anyone know if tangletongue can work with chaos inoculation?

[hybrid ocean]

What about it would you not expect to?

[fast wind]

Any huntress builds that don't use lighting damage?

[steady breach]

seen ziggyD play spearfield bleed

[agile cosmos]

The flasks that convert mana cost to life cost kill you, I was wondering if tangletongue did too

[fast wind]

Hmmm

I should also mention I'm not an amazon

[hybrid ocean]

Oh right, I forgot about that line on it

[steady breach]

well that is changeable since last patch

[fast wind]

?

[agile cosmos]

I can’t test it since I’m on hardcore lol

[hybrid ocean]

I assume you'll just be unable to pay the cost and thus can't use any skills

[steady breach]

Respeccing Ascendancy Classes

• Redoing an Ascendancy Trial now allows you to respec which Ascendancy Class you have chosen at the Ascension device, but only if the Trial would grant you the number of points you already have.
• In order to respec your Ascendancy class, you must have zero points allocated in it, but you can now talk to Balbala or The Trialmaster to Refund Passive Points.

[dense bramble]

im swapping to deadeye for ls, what crit chance am i looking for on tangletongue?

[hybrid ocean]

Try equipping it and see if the skill icons are greyed out

[fast wind]

Hmm ty I'm still sticking ritualist

[hybrid ocean]

If they're not, don't cast anything

[agile cosmos]

I haven’t bought it yet, didn’t want to waste currency. Anyone here have one?

[hybrid ocean]

You can just use a lifetap support gem

Same exact effect

[hushed garden]

Anyone have a aurabot build? Playing together with my friend so i want be support him

[short mango]

as high as you can get generaly speaking would be my guess. you won't overcap on crit as easily as amazon will. 2 sockets corruption a boon as well. more added damage. . . that said, is tangletongue still as good as a solid rare? ik it is on amazon, but you can put accuracy gems for a lot of flat physical, and they hit crit cap a lot easier ensuring you always get the double crit damage modifier.

[ripe jay]

Are there any 10 spirit cost specters?

[tacit carbon]

Now that storm lance works with ground effect supports, anyone find anything that works well?

[weak rain]

was chronomancer buffed at all?

[hot bolt]

550 Energy Shield + 73% evasion or 900 Energy Shield + 62% evasion?

[hybrid ocean]

Is Tabula Rasa as expensive as it is purely due to its rarity? Or are people using it for some mainstream build?

Because I have some ideas using it myself, but they all seem rather esoteric

Oh

Ohhh

It's being used by rarity aura bots, isn't it?

[azure gyro]

Hey, does anyone know about spiral Volley and pierce interaction? It seems to me like pierce weakens the skill but I don't know if I'm gaslighting myself or not

[mortal swift]

is critical weakness now only through uniques?

[halcyon solar]

anyone knows how those Talisman-Minion-upgrades work?

[eternal marlin]

hi, why ls deadeye looking for fire damage to atk? isn't it just lightning and phys?

[modest stirrup]

Omen sceptre malice skill

[mortal swift]

hmm, doesnt seem useful for me

I'd rather run that focus

[mortal swift]

its all

iirc

[eternal marlin]

wait is it? do ls have convert thingy that i didnt read

[modest stirrup]

if u click into the skill menu, you can see how much each type of elemental damage your LS does

you can view the details of it in the tooltip

[mortal swift]

infernal cry has

[eternal marlin]

i see, so just look for any flat damage on the ring and gloves i really tot i only look for lightning and phys tyty guys

[mortal swift]

do both of these work the same? Or the former doesnt work for poison?

[pallid wigeon]

Guys it seems that chain from terrain for Glacial Lance only works from the passive nodes that specifically says chain an additional time from terrain. Slotting in the chaining gems seems to do nothing.

[mystic osprey]

I am setting the enemy distance to 1 in PoB and I'm picking Near Sighted notable(60% increased accuracy at close range) but my crit chance in PoB doesn't change at all. What am I doing wrong?

[gritty matrix]

am i missing something? storm lance doesnt seem to do much with the amazon lightning spear build. am i supposed to detonate it somehow

[steady breach]

can't open pob atm, whats the text color on the near sighted notable, or on the thing that gives you crit per accuracy

[mystic osprey]

I fixed it. there was an "enemy in close range" tick box in "show all configurations."

[neat canopy]

hihi, anyone can explain this to me. whats the diff b/w critical chance and critical chance from hit chance

[dawn spire]

Crit chance from hit chance is your bonus from the Amazon crit strikes node

(roughly)

See this example from a minute ago

[unreal rampart]

I was wondering, has anyone messed with Malady support? According to tooltip it switches poison and bleed chance on skills.

Does it apply to other effects, such as the +100% magnitude on rake?
If Rake had both Malady and Corrosion would it Break Armour?
Could I convert Gas Grenade or Arrow to Bleed?

I'm trying hard to make physical/bleed crossbow build work, but I can't get good enough AoE and converted Gas Grenade could be an interesting option

[dawn spire]

1. It does not convert magnitude, only base chance.
2. It only supports skills that cause damaging hits, so gas grenade couldn't be supported, as far as I can tell

3. Rake + malady + corrosion would break armor, yes

[night socket]

https://poe2.ninja/pob/3949 need some help for upping my dmg idk wat i should upgrade first my base is only 17k lightning spear that only go up to like 37k ish

[unreal rampart]

Staggering Palm is a melee strike skill that makes me shoot projectiles, it has both melee and projectile tags.
Why doesn't it work with "Adaptable Assault" or "Stalk and Leap" notables?

+4 to Melee Strike Range if you've dealt a Projectile Attack Hit in the past eight seconds
Projectiles have 25% chance to Fork if you've dealt a Melee Hit in the past eight seconds

I'm observing neither extra melee range, nor fork chance

[carmine flicker]

hi, did someone do cast at terracota build?

(with only cost 10 spirit terracota soldiers and cast on minion death)

also does someone know how loyalty support works with multiple minions?
is 10% of damage they take before you split between them or smth?

[mortal swift]

what does this give + to? just cast speed?

[oblique sluice]

Hello. Can people recommend a decent tree planner on mobile? 🙂

[round escarp]

Press alt when looking at a ring it will tell you what type of modifier it is

[spare talon]

Which one is better? Lightning arrow or poison with radiant grief ranger

[cosmic tulip]

Tonight i will try to sell everything I have and get about 25 ex so i can reroll my character

[pearl sluice]

Is lightning ranger any good this season?

[deft osprey]

Also anything that says “spells”

Spell Damage
Spell Critical Hit (not the exact wording but you get the idea)
Spell Crit Damage

[hollow lagoon]

How do people do so much single target dmg with storm lance?

[hollow bronze]

What lvl does 5 to chao levels on wand be available?

[atomic halo]

check poe2db

[hollow bronze]

Lvl 81 nice thank you

[sour mesa]

what options i need to put on pob for gas arrow? ignite and what more?

[kindred dawn]

Are companions considered allies?

[dawn spire]

Yes, if your hold alt and click companion it says it's a type of minion. And I think minions are a type of ally

[near timber]

is thorn dmg increase on a body armor local or global increase?

[kindred dawn]

aah I missed that one, I saw the row below it

related question, does the companion power up with the gem level or stuck at level I caught it?

[torpid wren]

anybody wanna take a look at my pob and tell me why i suck? could be interesting

[kindred dawn]

url

[torpid wren]

you can level it up, just go to all skills with the gem

[kindred dawn]

noice

[torpid wren]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/pob/uxbia0le

[dusty lance]

Feeling stuck with lightning spear. I can melt maps and feels good but bosses are a struggle they don't stay in place to do damage

[kindred dawn]

most obvious thing is your weapon is really low for your level

alot of investment to crit but base damage is like 0

[torpid wren]

600%+ crit bonus tho too

[kindred dawn]

600% of 10 is still only 60

vs 200% of 100 is 200

exaggeration but thats the idea

[cunning solstice]

hello guys, i wanna build a char thats good and comfortable with bosses, its okay to kill the boss in a long time as long as the character can comfortably tank and defeat the boss, is there any spesific builds focusing on that?

[unreal sierra]

what do people use with PoCG usually

[carmine flicker]

well, in POE2 bossing builds are high damage cannons
no reason to tank the boss when you can burst it in one second

[unreal sierra]

AB

[austere reef]

Brain dead, what’s PoCG again?

[unreal sierra]

pillar of the caged god

[carmine flicker]

some moves are untankable, really, so easier to never let boss execute them

[unreal sierra]

attribute stack quarterstaff

[austere reef]

Right, you asking what skill?

[unreal sierra]

yeah

tempest?

[austere reef]

Last patch tempest flurry or ice strike was most used

[cunning solstice]

to be more exact i would like a build that doesnt give the boss the opportunity to attack etc

[austere reef]

Haven’t looked at what people are doing for it this patch

[unreal sierra]

okay, trying to make something with pillar and wasnt sure what to use

idt pillar is really played this patch

[cunning solstice]

i just leveled deadeye for serpent and have 3.6k hp+es but when pinnacle bosses still have an opportunity to attack im still in risk so i just want something comfy and focused on killing bosses

[austere reef]

Yeah nerfs to all the attribute stacking capabilities kind of hurt

[halcyon solar]

If you put smth up for sale with one character you also get the trade site dm's on another one, right?

[austere reef]

Ye

[unreal sierra]

yes

[halcyon solar]

sounds like an obvious question just wanna make sure 🙂

rng-jesus with me for a change. Originally just had the life roll.

[dusky wadi]

Are lich minion builds any good?

[halcyon solar]

they were decent. Might even be really good now depending on how strong the Sceptre upgrades are.

[halcyon solar]

don't know about the last part though.

Ghazzy and Kripp have builds that worked well.

it was kinda hard to scale dmg before, but they are super safe.

[storm folio]

Does my MF apply to what my minions kill? or does my minion kills mean i killed?

[atomic halo]

no

[halcyon solar]

How does Omen of the Hunt work exactly?

[neat iron]

How much DPS should we target? Does Path of Building do a good job of reflecting DPS estimates? I keep seeing like 5 mil DPS builds on build guides and YouTube stuff, while my theorycrafting on path of building gets nowhere near that, more like 50k DPS

[halcyon solar]

Does like 15 Guard on a charm protect you for 15 hp/dmg?

which would be nothi8ng

[light pasture]

Running Gorathas Bleed amazon, anyone have any idea on how to set it up in pob to get correct dps? Looking at rake stomp gives like 900 dps, feels wrong :p

[kindred dawn]

why does it feel wrong

[neat iron]

lol never mind, I think I found my answer on Reddit: path of building will never be a perfect simulation, so main use is to compare nodes or equipment

Best is to try it out in game

Correct me if I’m wrong?

[light pasture]

cause 900 dps with 4th ascendancy, accuracy weapon and lycosidae? super low lol

Maybe im not supposed to look at rake?

[neat iron]

Did you equip other items, rings, support gems?

[light pasture]

yeah imported from game so should be the same

[kindred dawn]

well you have the build guide

[neat iron]

There’s also stuff in the config

[kindred dawn]

so just see what their number is

[light pasture]

its in maxroll not in pob :/

[kindred dawn]

you can copy it in

[neat iron]

^

[kindred dawn]

person did it earlier

[dusty lance]

just downloaded pob is there a way to import my character or do i do it manually?

[kindred dawn]

create new build, import top left

[dusty lance]

i did that but it doesnt import anything

[kindred dawn]

can you screenshot your steps? You are supposed to sign in poe2, then authorize, etc. then you should see your chars to import

[light pasture]

ok ive looked everywhere in maxroll, i cannot find any pob importing stuff?

[kindred dawn]

build url?

[light pasture]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/oqe5o00p

[fleet blaze]

struggling with bosses
anyone got any amazon ST tech for me?

[dusty lance]

got it

and i should be going for 100 critical chance correct?

[kindred dawn]

not necessarily

IMO a mix of all damage multipliers is best

so if it takes alot of resources for crit, it isnt worth it

make use of the node power calculator

it is pretty helpful to see where you will optimize your dps

[dusty lance]

def this is a game changer haha

[unreal rampart]

Can someone explain me this notable? I can't get it to work so I think I'm missing something important

[dusty lance]

what crit chance should i be shooting for? i am at 44 right now.

[kindred dawn]

I dont think there is a single number to aim for

[jolly aspen]

As awkward as this may be. Is there like a warrior build that plays life a buffer for a party of people?

[unreal rampart]

I guess you could mess with banners and scepters to get some minion build?

Titan could be decent since they get that +50% to small passive nodes

[dawn spire]

Depends on how much more damage you can get by investing in crit vs how much damage you can get by investing in other stuff

If getting to X% crit nets you Y dps, but eats up Z passive points and/or gear slots, you may get a better Y by investing Z elsewhere

[fleet blaze]

why does POB say my crit with glacial lance is 55% but in game says 100%?

well it did say 100% i probably moved a passive

[dusty lance]

working my build right now im at 55% crit with around 72 damage with lightning spear

[static torrent]

The ingame text here is wrong, PoB2 is more accurate from my understanding.

[fleet blaze]

so going from 6000 acc to 12000 acc is only 2% crit chance...? sounds not right

[unreal rampart]

yeah the number on character sheet is just not true. If you have 140% hit chance then you should get only 10% crit from acc, but the character sheet tooltip suggests it's much more

[halcyon solar]

Wasn't there an option to sort the RESULTS by a sum? Like order in value of the sum of resistances?

[fleet blaze]

POB gives me 2% crit when i put on the acc double shield

[static torrent]

Specifically, 140% hit chance would be +10% base critical hit chance, which is still significant but nowhere near putting you at 100%+ critical hit chance unlike what the tooltip implies.

[unreal rampart]

yeah exactly

[fleet blaze]

ok but im not getting 10% base crit

[static torrent]

What chance to hit did you have, and how much did it increase when you put on the shield?

[fleet blaze]

no shield

with shield

so i dont need this shield?

[kindred dawn]

uhh I would just like to add, it doesnt say you have 100% crit chance in game

you have 18.4% crit chance

[static torrent]

Yeah, so the actual increase there is only +1.25% base crit at 2m, and +2.25% base crit at 9m.

[static torrent]

They're referring to the second line, the one gained from the Amazon's Critical Strike notable.

[fleet blaze]

well pob says the shield gives me 15k hit dmg.

[kindred dawn]

this?

it is just 100% increased crit chance no?

if it was 100% base crit, that would be so op no?

[fleet blaze]

i dont know amazon is so weird to gear. some spears worth 50div lower my dmg and others worth 3div give me 25k dps

[dawn spire]

They have 145% estimated chance to hit, wouldn't that mean that they have 45 x 0.25 = +11.25% base crit?

[unreal rampart]

Yes

[static torrent]

I'm stating the amount gained from the shield, not the total amount received from Critical Strike.

[dawn spire]

Oh, my b. I have no idea what shield we're discussing

[dawn spire]

No, it's base crit

[static torrent]

Frankly, neither do I, but I just compared the two screenshots and worked it out from those xd

[kindred dawn]

damn I built the wrong char then

[atomic yacht]

is heat from rapid shot considered a buff?

like can i increase the buff duration because it dissapears in like 1 ms

[dawn spire]

(Accuracy rating % - 100%)/4 = additional base crit %

[kindred dawn]

accuracy stacker a thing in poe2 yet?

[dawn spire]

What do you think all the amazons are doing?

[kindred dawn]

me hipster, titan bleed rake

[dawn spire]

Well, you don't need to stack that much to get to 100% crit

Titan's on my list for sure. I want to see if armor is really as bad as people say

Tho tactician is higher up for me

Tactician seems so nutty for hc

[kindred dawn]

yeah thats exactly why It seems so op

way imbalanced

[unreal rampart]

I'm trying out quarterstaff, Whirling Assault

[kindred dawn]

I was looking at tactician too, seemed strong

[dawn spire]

It's probably Smith > chrono > tactician > warbringer > pathfinder > lich* > titan > infernalist > acolyte for best hc ascendancies.
Source: my ass

Eh lich probably deserves to be on there

[honest peak]

Anyone have a build based on choir of the storm for lightning spear?

[halcyon solar]

What is the Gemslot upgrade priority for Lightning Spear Amazon? Like for Greater/Perfect Jeweller's?

guessing LS or Storm Lance?

[empty valve]

What do you think about?

[cursive girder]

can someone help me understand how to use Trinity effectively? does it mean i basically need to be alternating between damage types? like if my main skill is lightning, i'd need something else dealing fire/cold on rotation for it to be triggering correctly?

[empty valve]

if you main skill lightning - you get 50 -100 % trinity = 10/20% more bonus damage on this damage

lightning damage*. another damage will be reduced bonus

[cursive girder]

so even without worrying about the others its still worth it?

[empty valve]

yes, one elemental damage have bonus

10-20% more damage

[cursive girder]

got it

thanks

[empty valve]

50-100 trinity

50 = 10% more on 20 lvl trinity more damage this elemental damage

100 trinity = 20% trinity scale more damage

[azure meadow]

The optimal idea to optimize trinity is to have your hits deal roughly the same amount of damage damage of each type on hit

[empty valve]

optimal idea it is armor with 3 heralds

but

this armor - bugged

this armor can crash instance, mb this fixed, mb - no

i dont no

[azure meadow]

Need them to add multi-ele attack skills to the game

[empty valve]

you can add multi ele: gloves with triple elemental attacks, or ring triple

[plain night]

Guys, think the crit dmg vaal or the overall higher phys dmg is stronger?

[waxen jewel]

S

[atomic halo]

pob it

both are competitive, impossible to evaluate without more information

[plain night]

sry whats pob? haha

oh I see what it is

[kindred dawn]

how do I level up my companion? I have level 12 gem but dont have the option for my level 9 wolf

[static torrent]

Go to the All Gems tab, or the Equipped Gems tab (haven't tested that one, but it should work as well).

[kindred dawn]

oh

ah yeah worked in equip

thanks

[dusty lance]

so i got a tangleton 19%, why is my damage so low? my storm lance only does about 16k damage

[inland spear]

What kind of build should I focus on for Witch?
Should I only either focus on doing Chaos damage or minions? Or should I mix both?

[kindred dawn]

pick one

well tangletongue is a levling equip not meant for late game, already went over this

[dusty lance]

and i see other builds using tangleton still with a good amount of damage

[atomic halo]

it has very little flat

so you need to compensate

with flat from rings and such

if you fail to do that your damage will be very poor

[plain night]

Awesome tool ty lol. Turns out the crit dmg wins

Is there a way to get items to update quicker when we swap them with pob? or is it just a case of waiting?

[mortal swift]

what do you guys suppose are the best supports for eye to apply crit weakness (Im using the focus for it)

[waxen jewel]

The Ngamahu's Chosen fire res charm seems like a nice way to get rage in any Infernalist build running Pyromantic Pact

[dusty lance]

manage to invest in a few good rings brought it up to 29k

is that good enough?

[atomic halo]

copy and paste it from the game into pob

[wheat radish]

Hey guys I’m Mainly using Galvanic Shards with Infernal Cry, Herald of Thunder + Herald of Ash and High Velocity Rounds.

Im now at Act 3 but my damage from the galvanic Shards just sucks. Idk what to do or if I skilled something wrong on the skill tree -> https://maxroll.gg/poe2/passive-tree/5p4t0ocn. I wanted to build something on my own without the help of meta builds but now it’s getting really hard.

Any suggestions what I should swap around to get something really good for clearing adds and doing decent damage to bosses? Thank you for your help!

[scenic badge]

can someone look at my current build and tell me what im doing wrong? i am following Ben_ poe2.ninja and my damage is 1/10 of his. if someone can please help

[patent shell]

AHHHHHH idk what way to go

avatar of fire or phys damage focus

with ryslathas

[north willow]

anyone playing Bloodmage Rake/Lightning Spear bleed...
kinda need help with understanding why my bleed is not proc-ing as crazy as it should be for bossing

[dawn spire]

Slower projectiles (can't remember the actual name) and unleash are all I can think of

Or arcane tempo for just spamming more of them

[pearl sluice]

Is there actually nothing that increases the chance for my minions to afflict ailments outside of the 3 support gems?

[static plinth]

Deceleration

[dawn spire]

Them doing more hit damage of the associated element raises the chance to chill/ignite/shock, so no

[jagged hollow]

I'm currently lev 43 amazon and kinda following Wudijo's build but I still struggle a bit and I don't find it "very fun" to play. Any other builds you recommend? Pls and TYIA!

[junior slate]

do supports with a tag give the supported skill their tag as well?

like for example if i add conduction to glacial lance does glacial lance become lightning + cold

[kindred dawn]

Anyone know if Rake works with Close Combat?

[kindred dawn]

in this particular example, you would need to have cold be able to shock, then have chance to shock, but I dont think it will give the lightning tag to glacial lance

[junior slate]

i am asking cause i am reading through waggle's chaos lich guide and he has taken these passives yet has no cold tagged offensive skills

[kindred dawn]

maybe mistep on the guide, I cant say for certain, but it is easy enough to test

no chaos tag

[junior slate]

[kindred dawn]

sorry bad example before , same idea

[junior slate]

yeah

idk, thanks for testing

[static plinth]

Entirely possible its taken only for skill effect duration

Now that i know its a thing ill definitely be considering it for mine

You path there for wither effect anyway

[sterile spade]

Hey guys, is warrior supposed to be squishy in act 1?
I am dying very often compared to ranged classes I played.
Also, I am having trouble with AoE, becase I was supposed to "Rolling Slam" and then "Boneshatter" when the white ball appears on the mob and it would blow in an AoE, but trash mobs die in the Roling Slam 1 hit. Any tips?

[wintry bronze]

not really, you just need a good chest piece with a lot of armour

game becomes thrivial after 1st ascension (kitava)

[unreal sierra]

try using mace attack or lower the damage on slam

[wintry bronze]

has anyone cleared simulacrum 4 with kitava?

[kindred dawn]

Cull the weak is just straight up better than culling strike right?

oh wait cull the waek is an action vs culling strike is support

[atomic halo]

cull the weak is a skill but yeah

[kindred dawn]

yeah

life drain support doesnt do anything if there is no "cull" mechanic?

[atomic halo]

correct

[carmine flicker]

and it's just 3% regen per second that isn't boosted with regeneration rate
so.. it's rather bad

[mortal swift]

isnt it boosted with recovery rate

[wicked sparrow]

Whats the interaction here?

[tame oar]

Life / Mana Flasks Question - What is the highest value you've seen a non-unique flask recover for?
I'm guessing it's 'Depleting' variants, but I am curious to what future max values i can look forward to

[mortal swift]

so 920*2 + whatever quality gives(20%) for life

[tame oar]

Ya, i thought i tried it out though at one point, and the amount recovered actually didn't change.
I'll give it another go though i suppose

[mortal swift]

recovery stops after reaching maxlife

[tame oar]

i figured, but the tests i did a while ago ended up not putting me at max life regardless

[mortal swift]

which one are you talking about? low life or from mana one?

[tame oar]

lol, option C. ?

[mortal swift]

yeah but which flask was it

the low life one I suppose from your ss

[mortal swift]

you can test easily, if u have character sheet open u can see 2 different recovery values based on what your starting hp was if your flask has the +recovery on low life

[tame oar]

Maybe i'm not looking in the right place. I can't find any recovery values associated with a 'starting hp....' while I have equipped a Low Life flask, and on 'low life' (using Serpent's Lesson, and at low mana)

[tame oar]

There is the Flask section, but it does not adjust in anyway either.

[mortal swift]

not there

look at life recovery

[mortal swift]

you are full life tho

[tame oar]

But consider 'low life' due to Serpent's Lesson.
One second, i'll a less altered test.

[mortal swift]

I am not asking low im asking not full xD

[tame oar]

Apologies. I did the tests while not on full though, Did a cheap Pain Offering cast with Lifetap on it

[mortal swift]

oh? Should work then

[dawn spire]

But do instances of it stack?

[tame oar]

Ok, groovy. I thiiiink i got it working. Groovy! Thank you.
Now if i could just get mana potions to recover.... A LOT more...
Thanks again

[carmine flicker]

idk, tbh

[mortal swift]

Get the unique

[tame oar]

Which one? The Maelstrom? Doesn't look like it has the max mana fill anymore

[halcyon solar]

can you get 4+ prefixes with the Omen of Sinistral Exaltation (Exalteds only add Prefixes)?

[atomic halo]

no

you can never get 4+ prefixes

[halcyon solar]

what's the point of that Omen then?

[atomic halo]

(except with those kalandra jewellery bases)

i think there is some relatively niche use but i forgot

[mortal swift]

Oh right!

[scenic dawn]

Do totems class as minions and vice versa?

[mortal swift]

No, read titan tooltip

[scenic dawn]

It was just an idea was hoping it did but I guess that builds out the question then

Thank you

[mortal swift]

I meant more like it would help more if you looked at it than I am able to off the top of my head

[scenic dawn]

I’ll have to check later homie as I’m working, but I had an idea which might be pointless currently

[mortal swift]

What was idea

[scenic dawn]

Using the carrion call engraved focus on mercenary with totems and the new ascendancy

Hoping that the unique would boost the damage of totems

And also increase maximum life of the turrets and such

[mortal swift]

How will it boost DMG

[scenic dawn]

One of the stats boosts minion damage

But if totems don’t get buffs from minion damage then

[mortal swift]

It doesn't

[scenic dawn]

It won’t work

The one I have has minions deal 24% increased damage

[mortal swift]

No but the unique doesn't boost DMG at all

[scenic dawn]

I mean this

But if totems don’t get a boost from minion stuff

Then it won’t work

That’s what I’m trying to figure out

[patent shell]

guys is that good or bad ?

i basicly give my herald 30% more dmg ?

cause the ignite last shorter ?

[halcyon solar]

If you quality up your item before you start adding Affixes, you'll have a higher chace for better ones, right?

[scenic dawn]

That’s actually good to know

[halcyon solar]

that's a question, not a statement 😄

[patent shell]

so if i do 1000 overkill dmg 100 of it is gonna be 50 in 1 second and 50 in another second instead of 33 in 3 seconds

[tame oar]

Flask Question #2 - Can anyone confirm skill nodes that ' increase life recovery from flasks' add additively with flasks that already have a fask recovery modifer, and not multiplicatively?

So it would be basing the recovery amount off the base/unaltered recovery amount of the flask?

[dawn spire]

In poe1 it works like local and global %Phys damage on weapons. The mod on the flask is local and affects the base recovery amount, then other flask mods (like on the tree) are multiplicative with that base value

[tame oar]

I mean that would make sense, but i was hoping to get a confirmation that it works that way here in poe2. Apologies 🙏🏼

[halcyon solar]

Expedition nodes like "30% increased rarity in chests" or "more relics in chests" also apply after the last mob of the event is dead, right? you don't have to loot during clearing?

[kindred dawn]

Is there a place to see what timelost jewels are small nodes vs notables? poe2db doesnt mention it https://poe2db.tw/us/Time-Lost_Jewels

[carmine flicker]

what's the general consensus of lich vs infernal for summoner?

[atomic halo]

i'd just use pob

pob is pretty good for that stuff

[kindred dawn]

oh

[halcyon solar]

Lich is pretty strong if you run smth like Frost Mages and spam abilities. Infernalist is good when you run a big and wild mix for Muster.

[carmine flicker]

then inferno it is..

[carmine flicker]

well, that doesn't really mens much since lich is new and many will go try new shiny things

[halcyon solar]

Ghazzy and Kripp have decent builds for both

thing is that the dmg hasn't been scaling that great. Might have changed now with Talismans and Sceptre upgrades, but i haven't tried those.

[carmine flicker]

need to see
got tired from rakestomp

too much button pressing

(even if it's one button. I mean, need to press it too much)

muster is cool
finally will use those skill slots for smth useful I guess

[dawn spire]

Idk if you mean remnants or atlas tree nodes. For remnants, they apply to everything unearthed beyond and including the detonation that hit the remnant.

For nodes, yeah, they affect everything that comes from all expeditions even if it ends

[dawn spire]

Smh no tactician

[halcyon solar]

the Terracotta Soldier is great since it only costs 10 Spirit and gives you another Muster buff.

should always have 1

[carmine flicker]

I did think about cast on minion death soldier army

idk how meme it is

[dawn spire]

That sounds fun as hell

[carmine flicker]

with detonate dead if they can be detonated

CAST ON MINION DEATH DETONATE DEAD if they can be detonated

teleport on top of boss
press one button
BOOM

[dawn spire]

If you bind a spectre that has a permanent buff, does the tactician node halve its spirit cost?

Idk if any spectres can have that tag

[kindred dawn]

for adorned breakpoints, it rounds up and down right? Or just down?

[dawn spire]

Wait, does the spectre gem have the buff tag? No way, right?

[dawn spire]

Don't even need to press any buttons for that build, actually

[carmine flicker]

well, need to walk, in the first place

(and somehow kill first minion)

[halcyon solar]

not sure you wanna spend spirit on that.

[dawn spire]

Does the tactician node add your weapon damage to minion instability explosions?

[carmine flicker]

need to test
may be it can kill my FPS harder than vaal guards!

[dawn spire]

As far as I know, everything rounds down

[halcyon solar]

yeah the thing is that Vaal Guard is pretty much your best option for Infernalist as main dps.

[dawn spire]

Even after the nerf?

[halcyon solar]

with Lich it's usually Storm or Frost Mages

[halcyon solar]

did they nerf the Vaal Guard?

[dawn spire]

They made vaal guards weaker in the last patch

[halcyon solar]

oh i see, haven't touched my Witch for some days.

[junior swan]

i need help with light arrow deadeye please

[native bolt]

can someone explain trinity for me? ( if i want get the maximum damage form it, should deal multiple elemental types)?

[atomic halo]

yes

[carmine flicker]

storm mages look ok so far(act2 cruel)

[atomic halo]

if you hit 3 times, you dont want all those hits to deal fire damage as their highest damage

you want, ideally, 1 hit to deal most cold, 1 hit to deal most lightning, 1 fire

[native bolt]

how to do that if we like playing LS or LA or GA

[atomic halo]

figure it out yourself, it's not supposed to be easy

painter's servant gloves can probably do it very consistently

or using a wep with triple ele prefixes

[halcyon solar]

if they didn't buff another spectre to be super strong, then Lich is probably the better choice tbh.

Vaal Guard was like the poster child of Infernalist.

[opal tusk]

anyone know if the lightning arrow / orb of storms / lightning rod / ball lighting ranger build got nerfed?

not sure if it has a specific name but it was the one where you jsut throw down ord of storms, lightning rods, incinerate whatevers in the area and later on you get ball lightning on auto cast apparantly?

[mild basin]

Why POB and PoE2DB is showing "Tempered Rune"?

[remote narwhal]

I'm curious

Would a bleed build be better on warrior

And im talking about spear.

[merry chasm]

question would vulnerability still have an effect if the target's armour is fully broken already?

[remote narwhal]

Probably not

[austere zinc]

bloodmage works best for bleed imo

[merry chasm]

yea now that im readingit vulnerability removes armour from the top end welp

[fossil mountain]

hey yall, im following the flow ive got going atm with my bleed build ritualist huntress, is anyone able to tell me how i can actually get bleed to happen faster? how does that work? is it magnitute? etc

[remote narwhal]

Reread what I said.

[midnight obsidian]

are you using a skill with built-in chance to bleed?

[remote narwhal]

Spears.

[midnight obsidian]

and do you have non-zero accuracy?

[remote narwhal]

I'm talking about using rake.

Would it end up better on warrior than Amazon.

Or any other class cause of it being melee

[carmine flicker]

like rake for bleed specifically?

[fluid geode]

https://youtu.be/GR5TRPoS69U?si=5gOKgX5BLDn-8VVR

This is a vid that was going around the past couple of days

[remote narwhal]

Uh wasn't that rake and another skill

[fluid geode]

Idk. Randomly saw you talking like bloodmage does nothing for bleed on spears. Then i recall seeing this vid

[fluid geode]

You probably meant aggravate

[remote narwhal]

I was meaning as far as the initial dmg

Warrior probably beats it. On starting dps

[halcyon solar]

What is the advantage of applying your Storm Lances with Barrage? I'm killing the bosses way faster with spamming Lance. Can someone help me out there?

[kindred dawn]

companions requires different spirit?

[hollow galleon]

is respec available already?

[void osprey]

Hello, how do i know my final amount of chance to hit the double crit with Tangletongue?

[tawdry swift]

Hi, just asking if you have CI, are you considered in low life?

[atomic halo]

1/1 = full life

[tawdry swift]

Ohhhhhh okay2

Thanks @atomic halo

[karmic geyser]

it says right there

you just have to win the 61.91% roll twice

[void osprey]

i assumed there would be like an addition cuz last time when was asking about crit chance about my normal rare spear someone said it was main hand crit chance + estimated main hand crit chance from hit chance

[patent shell]

guys did they remove the attribute body armour =

?

[atomic halo]

which one

morior?

[patent shell]

ah yes its available but under armour in poe db its at focus section XD

but does it still give attributes tho ?

[atomic halo]

the % attr mod is gone

now +(4–6) to all Attributes per Socket filled

[patent shell]

wow thats a big nerf

[atomic halo]

yeah

but it can have 3 mods now

[dim spade]

POE GODS HELP ME

IS MY CRIT GOOD???

i dont know how crit works in this game

level 60 amazoness

i want to crit all the time

is this good or bad?

[viscid radish]

Not good

[humble wave]

What's the difference between ''MAXIMUM LIGHTNING DAMAGE" and "INCREASED LIGHTNING DAMAGE" ? Assuming 1-100 Lightning Damage Does the former only raise the right side ( 100 ) part of the damage whereas the latter raises both numbers?

And if so then Increased Lightning Damage ( such as Pure Power ) is way better than Wild Storm, right?

[patent shell]

does that mean i dont need ele res anymore ? only armour ?

[dim spade]

how can i change this

[viscid radish]

Elemental damage is mitigated by your resistances, the last line basically means that your armour stat will also help with mitigating damage but you still need to cap res

[viscid radish]

1. Get a spear with good base crit (which I need to too, TBH)
2. Stack accuracy (e.g., rings and weapon, helmet if you're super kin-maxing but it's diminishing returns so the first couple are good enough)

[dim spade]

this wepon sucks???

[viscid radish]

I'm not sure if you can get accuracy on other gear, I believe you can, so you can try roll some on them till you hit at least 100% estimated minimum crit

[viscid radish]

You can make it work during early acts, but in general you want more physical DPS on your weapon

[dim spade]

around how much?

[viscid radish]

But it looks like you're currently in acts?

[dim spade]

and sorry for asking

so much

first time playign an rpg

[viscid radish]

Depends on where you're at

[dim spade]

act 3

[viscid radish]

Endgame I'd say hit least 350

[dim spade]

shit

damn lol'

okk

[viscid radish]

Not flat value, calculated DPS

[dim spade]

?

[viscid radish]

During acts, 100-150 should be good

[dim spade]

ohh

ok

[viscid radish]

The physical damage you see on the weapon at the top (29-55) multiplied by attack speed (1.6) should give you a rough idea, or use trade overlay to not have to calculate

[dim spade]

im build lighting amazoness

clearing build

so i generally dont spear spam

i throw one spear

and then poof

[viscid radish]

Current weapon is like ((29 + 55) / 2) * 1.6 ~ 65 physical DPS

[viscid radish]

Basically you're using volt support on it, and that's okay

[dim spade]

yeah

[viscid radish]

But try to get a weapon around 100+ DPS soon

[dim spade]

ok

whats a good base crit

[viscid radish]

During acts 5-6 (crit stacking on a spear you'll change isn't worth it unless it's a natural drop)

Post acts, the higher the better (mine is shit, gotta upgrade)

[edgy dust]

Pretty new here can someone explain how enhanced effectiveness in gemling tree is good? I took it and all my stats dropped WAAAAY down like I took a massive hit

[viscid radish]

Haven't played that before, sorry

[edgy dust]

says you get 20% less attributes but inherent bones gained from attribute is doubled

AH wait i get it now just wasnt understanding....the bonuses the stats give you like life and stuff THOSE bonuses are what gets doubled

[mortal swift]

yea, is good if u want to stack a particular stat

[patent shell]

is there a way to make my attribute requirment of my weapons less ? rn its around 750 strenght

[dawn spire]

There are some nodes on the tree that have % reduced attribute requirements of gems and equipment, I believe.

There might be some uniques that can also do that, I'm not sure.

[patent shell]

why it dont increase my attri require ?

it remains the same

[viscid radish]

The item says 70 Str required, the base version of it prolly needs 45-48 Str, and with 50% increase it's 70 Str

It's for the item, not you specifically

[quartz sun]

This is absurd for a level 22. Everything just falls over in the campaign rofl.

[patent shell]

thanks alot

[haughty wadi]

what's some current convenient ways to aggravate bleed

both on bosses and clear

[hybrid ocean]

The hell?

What do you even have equipped? I would've thought level reqs would get in the way

I mean, most you can get on each piece of gear at level 22 is 16

[haughty wadi]

yo, how has this been going? i'm building something that's kinda similar and wanna check things out with ui

[uncut umbra]

It was ok until I realized crit lightning is far more fun 😛

and stomp just becomes an afterthought

Compared to thorns scaling and rapid stikes stomp doesn't scale well enough without very heavy str investment

[humble wave]

If my boots have only armor does this basically give me 0 stun treshold?

[dim spade]

yo

YOOO

I WON

I FUCKING WON

MY DAMAGE WENT IP BY 20K after putting this on

this is insane

@viscid radish

[viscid radish]

Bruh, seaglass is the best base and you got one with crit as well XD

Ones with high phys rolls are multi divs though

[dim spade]

bro i could fuking cry right now

im not selling this lmaoi

this well be map clearing everything

[viscid radish]

That's a good spear to carry you for quite a long while, even during maps

[dim spade]

yeah, thanks for your tips earlier, if i find a good spear again, its ur

urs,completely free

add me on discord

[viscid radish]

Ah no worries, I'm already way past that threshold mate... Using multi divs gear XD

I'll add you regardless

My damage is enough to rank me on Ninja, gonna touch 100k on LS

Next upgrades would look something like this for me since I need at least around 350 pDPS to not lose much base damage

@dim spade also fun fact... Accuracy rune will give you slightly more damage than physical rune if you've done ascendancy

[dim spade]

yeah i did, damn

[viscid radish]

Physical rune = increased 25% physical
Accuracy = 110 accuracy = 25% of 110 increased physical = increased 27% physical

[dim spade]

huh.i need to learn how to math better on here

alright,

guess i need to look for better spear then

[viscid radish]

It's technically 27.5% but I dunno if it's rounded up or down XD

[viscid radish]

No, that's more than good enough

Also, runes can be swithced whenever

[dim spade]

??

they cannn?

how.

man there so much i need to learn

[viscid radish]

Just replace the rune on the current weapon with a new one

[quartz sun]

526 now at 30 😂

[viscid radish]

You can't get back the rune already socketed, but you can socket a new one to overwrite it

[quartz sun]

Black sun (was greymake until I hit 30), titanrot, strength on all jewelry and greater robust runes in everything

[dim spade]

bro WTF IS THAT STRENGTH LMAO

@30 TOO

Lol

[viscid radish]

That's a lot of uniques XD

[quartz sun]

Everything in the campaign is literally just falling over with stomping ground on level 3 rake rofl

[quartz sun]

Everything but my jewelry is rofl

I could get 20 more strength if I had 2 socket corrupts on the buckler and spear

[viscid radish]

I realised I switched too early to bone spear build on my 2nd character, lich

[quartz sun]

I guess 30 because titanrot could get a third too

[viscid radish]

Should've levelled minions/chaos till I could get CoC

But wtev, I really disliked minions/chaos playstyle

[quartz sun]

Yeah, I'm leveling this warbringer as a strength stacker until maps and then thorn swap.

[viscid radish]

Ouh, you're going thorns... I saw some videos of quite interesting thorn builds online

Should be fun

[quartz sun]

Kall's build?

[shy garnet]

what does this do?

[viscid radish]

One of them, yes

[quartz sun]

His new bleed thorns build is pretty nutty

[uncut umbra]

you could also level as full thorns just put thorns runes in the slots but I guess this is slgihtly cheaper than that 😛

[viscid radish]

Might modify existing skills by either adding some new stats to them or changing them entirely (those in radius OFC)... Similar to PoE 1 timeless jewels I believe

[quartz sun]

This is just faster because everything gets one shot. Just killed the act 2 boss in 3 hits once he broke the dreadnought

[viscid radish]

I was taking 5 minutes on each boss with ED + Contagion + Snipers

Switching to Bone Storm + Bone Cage made that go down significantly

But I don't have enough clear till I can equip CoC DD

https://tenor.com/view/only-pain-subscribe-to-my-onlyfans-pain-gif-20973850

It's fun figuring out how specific interactions work for skills

I just randomly pick up stuff from ninja and analyse it

[shy garnet]

i have no idea about poe 1. what do you mean modiffy existing skills?

[quartz sun]

I went ritualist for my league starter and it was pain leveling. Made a chronomancer rarity bot with 351% magic find on it, and now the thorns barb

[viscid radish]

A min

[quartz sun]

Rarity bot is easy money. People will pay you to be in their party or split drops 50/50. Made 11 div last night

[shy garnet]

does it modify the passive nodes in the radius?

[viscid radish]

@shy garnet so think about it this way

Let's say you have taken 5 nodes in the radius of the jewel

Which give you, say 10% spell damage each

Depending on what type of timneless jewel you're using

[shy garnet]

okay

[viscid radish]

ANd what it's seed is (the random number rolls)

It can do this

Change the nodes to say, 10% elemental damage instead

[shy garnet]

for example the olroth one that i showed

[viscid radish]

It can add extra stats, say 5 int per node (so it's 10% spell damage + 5 int per node)

[shy garnet]

oh nvm the number of rolls

[viscid radish]

Let me check the Olroth one specifically

[shy garnet]

yes please. it's still confusing lol

[shy garnet]

for example this olroth with 4111 number

[viscid radish]

Ok so, there are 2 possible heroic jewels atm from what I can see

You have olroth, which can change one of the notables in radius to this:
Black Scythe Training - Intelligence's inherent bonus is 1% increased Evasion Rating per 2 Intelligence instead

[shy garnet]

okay

that sounds good

[viscid radish]

Other than that, depending on the seed (which I technically have no idea what it does) it can change the small passives as well

[odd charm]

Do maligaros virtuosity stack Crit dmg or just give u 300% flat?

[viscid radish]

When I say I have no idea, there are thousanda of combinations, like nearly 10k combinations

[shy garnet]

the seed being? the number?

[viscid radish]

Si

[shy garnet]

ohhh lol

how can we know

[viscid radish]

For PoE 1, there are timeless jewel calculators and PoB... I don't think there's enough data for this for PoE 2 yet, so just gotta slot and see

[viscid radish]

300% exact, no stacking

[shy garnet]

oh ok lol. thank you

[odd charm]

Well f me

Ok ty

Glad I asked before spending 11d

[steady breach]

do bucklers have any special stuff in their mod pool, or is it pretty much just life, eva and resistances?

[shy garnet]

btw how can i change one of the nodes in radius?

[viscid radish]

You can't change it yourself
If you slot the jewel in a jewel slot, you'll see a circle form on your skill tree... That's the radius
The jewel itself will randomly modify the nodes within this radius
You just choose to select them or not

[shy garnet]

ohhhh

i get it now

thank you so much

[viscid radish]

Doesn't look like it

[steady breach]

thx, wasnt sure if poedb is updated for them

[shy garnet]

does the number at the front determine what kind of node appears?

[viscid radish]

Yes, the seed specifies the random node rolls

[shy garnet]

the olroth i have did not bring out black scythe training

[viscid radish]

There's nearly 10k possible combinations

[shy garnet]

holy moly

[viscid radish]

Sadge

[shy garnet]

sadge indeed

[shy garnet]

doesn't this sound like the one you said?

[viscid radish]

Interesting, this was mentioned under a different name though

Under Medved, not Olroth

Guess the data isn't 100% accurate

[shy garnet]

yeah lol. apparently i can socket it in any jewel slot and it changes a bunch of nodes

[viscid radish]

Yeah, changes the ones within radius

[shy garnet]

interesting lol

[viscid radish]

This is actually not bad though, I should do some more logbooks and see what we get

[shy garnet]

that's cool

if it helps i have this one

5693 olroth on the northeast jewel slot

it replaced the node that makes your life 1 but makes you immune to chaos dmg

[quartz sun]

Did they nerf the troubled camp? Not getting rare spawns on reset

[forest crater]

https://youtube.com/shorts/3VeV8x_IPtQ?si=ZA3FRqps9LLet4R_

Is this still possible?

[shy garnet]

does this work with storm mage minions?

[supple jay]

has anyone made a beira's anguish autobomber yet?

[viscid radish]

No, unless it explicitly mentions minions, then it's not for them

[shy garnet]

alright thank you so much

[shrewd pulsar]

Does anyone know the fastest way to consume impale stacks? It has to be a "hit" so no spells.

I'm using raging spirits rn, its okay, but i would like something more reliable.

The damage of the hit is irelevant. I just want to consume 60 impale stacks rapidly.

[viscid radish]

No idea on this mate, sorry

[mighty iron]

is there anyone i can pick the brains of for a LS amazon build

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/pob/ma19401m

[narrow elm]

i got a qq. how am i supposed to get an enhanced normal armor?

[severe oar]

Hi, i'm playing essence drain/contagion, with Temporal chain on blasphemy, and i don't understand why, ennmies explode when i killed them, but i removed the explode ascendencies from the lich, so....

[frosty finch]

So i'm thinking about doing a really weird build using doryanis prototype and triple ventors gamble with ritualist ascendency

If i'm not mistaken i could easily go to -200 lightning resist

I just dont know if I would go spear, QS or lightning spells

I also saw a unique amulet that does -30% all

With 3 -40% rings thats -150 % light res counting the passive
-15% all with the first node

[fluid geode]

Yes but not efficient. Very low damage from the vid which is pre-nerf, even lesser damage now. Scaling aoe on totem is kinda bad when astral projection can clear off mob efficiently enough.

[halcyon solar]

I just picked up LS Amazon as 3rd toon and was looking at Fubgun's guide. Somehow i do way more damage by spamming Lance instead of using Barrage, while even having 3+ div gear. Why could that be?

[severe oar]

Is there people using decaying hex here ?

[neat canopy]

if im using cast on freeze, is it becuz im one shotting mobs and thats why im not building energy becuz the mobs die before i freeze them?

[frosty finch]

Yeah pretty much

I had the same issue with rake / herald of blood

[solid sierra]

can i check subterfuge mask +2 eva per 1 maximum es? If my helmet has 138 es from + 71 maximum es do i get 276 es (138x2) or 142 es (71x2)?

[karmic geyser]

the +71 to es is included in 138

so you get 138*2 as evasion

but thats a pretty bad helmet, no +% energy shield

[neat canopy]

does socketing more spells within cast on crit makes it require more energy to reach 100%?

[karmic geyser]

yes

[north heart]

Isn’t there a unique chest piece that makes you dodge if you haven’t been hit recently? What’s it called

[dawn spire]

What do you mean by "enhanced"? Do you mean superior? If so, then use armourer's scraps on a normal (white) armour

[dawn spire]

Yes

[narrow elm]

i mean i want to add suffixes to a normal armour because i play smith of kitava.

i cant seem to figure out how to do get a good normal armour

[autumn belfry]

pretty specific question, but do we have any PoB pros here?
i'm trying to figure out the dmg of a support gem but I cant get it to work in PoB and i'm not sure if its a me-problem or a PoB problem:

the thing I want: using Flash Grenade linked with "Overpower" (more stun) "Devastate" (break armour if heavy stun) and "Armour Explosion" (supported skills trigger explosion when they break armour)
The Problem: usually I find the damage infos on the left side under the main skill, but its not there.

I tried something similar; Explosive Grenade with support: more ignite chance and "Fiery Death" (enemies ignited by this skill have a chance to explode on death)
On this one I find the "explosion" damage info right where I thought it would be, left side under the Main Skill
I THINK its a PoB problem (?) aka not yet supported

[dawn spire]

Spells can hit, so I think you mean "attack hits" specifically. I would suggest a weapon swap rain of arrows with overabundance, persistence, and acceleration

[autumn belfry]

or in picture form:
am I looking in a wong place or is Armour Explosion dmg tab just not yet supported by PoB2?

[dawn spire]

A normal item, by definition, has no prefixes and no suffixes. Can you give me an example of what you're after? A corrupted implicit mod, perhaps?

[agile salmon]

guys is it worth dropping time of need for berserk? (smith)
I dont have enough spirit for all of them

[dawn spire]

The things a normal chest piece can have are:
-Sockets
-Quality
-Implicit mod
-Corrupted mod (I'm not sure if corrupting an item in poe and getting a corrupted mod replaces an existing implicit mod or not)

[narrow elm]

let me provice a screenshot:

[agile salmon]

smith of kitava ascendency lets you add special lines on normal armor

[dawn spire]

The 28% fire res is from the runes, the other mods are from the Smith of Kitava nodes

[narrow elm]

oh wait i might actually be stupid

[dawn spire]

Nah, game is hard and reading is harder

[dawn spire]

I'm well aware

But those are not prefixes nor suffixes

[agile salmon]

ah, yea theyre not

[dawn spire]

I'm actually curious, what does it say when you hold alt over that?

[agile salmon]

nothing

shows nothing

[dawn spire]

Doesn't show anything off to the left or right of the mods?

[agile salmon]

nope

with alt held

[dawn spire]

Huh

[narrow elm]

nowhere does it say that the nodes from the kitava tree are applied to the normal body armor

[dawn spire]

I thought even uniques showed a "U" on the left

[narrow elm]

i just didnt use my imagination to figure it out

;p

[dawn spire]

Yeah, it just says, "Body armor grants" which, in your defense, doesn't at all imply that it's literally added as a mod on the item. I was really surprised when I saw 15% life and 5% regen on there

[narrow elm]

yeah exactly ;p

[dawn spire]

Impossible to say objectively what is better since one is offensive and one is defensive. Depends on what you need, how much rage you're accruing, how beneficial the leech is, etc

[light pasture]

Anyone know of a good amazon bleed build? I tried following woolies / gorathas but i have no idea if they are good. Got 2k dps on rake i mean fuck me 😂

[fresh dirge]

I'm fairly new to the game, can you please help me choose between these 2 builds https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/essence-drain-lich-build-guide and https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/cold-snap-frostbolt-stormweaver-leveling-guide

[gaunt ether]

are people stacking prescence to buff the aoe of curses?

stacking/ using alphas howl

[dapper ember]

Hi all, if I inflict bleed while on weapon set 1 which has %increased magnitude/duration of bleed, and I swap to weapon set 2 which doesn't have those passives, it shouldn't affect the bleed damage right?

[carmine flicker]

Damage was already applied

It won't be changed

[dapper ember]

Nice, and this should also work with fast acting toxins notable? (damaging ailments deal damage 12% faster)

[past drift]

Would you guys recommend storm lance or primal strikes for bosses?

[wide herald]

Ancestrally boosted strikes strike an additional 2 targets. If I were to use the support on flicker strike, would the entirety of flicker strike hit 2 additional enemies or only on the first hit?

[hollow bronze]

I'm using Chao on my lich but having a hard time with clear speed. Any advice? I use essences drain and contagious ATM I'm lvl 65 atm

[static plinth]

Is there any way to make Shard Scavenger's buff and cooldown roughly equal length?

Actually wait it might not even be that hard to get that

These 3 clusters + Persistence = roughly 3x length to our 2 second buff, level 21 gem is 6 second cooldown

So theoretically infinite crossbow bolts

[warped rivet]

yo guys just wanted to return on poe2 after recent updates and want to restart the pg , any starting build? pob works on poe2 too or there is another tool for that?

[static plinth]

There's a separate PoB2 program

[warped rivet]

and for "league starter" builds?

where can i check them?

[static plinth]

Its mainly Lich EDC and Amazon Lightning Spear

That idk

[carmine flicker]

For easy start - edc, lightning spear, kitava rakestomp

[frosty finch]

Tbh i'd use rakestomp on any character using strength stat until i finish act 3, then respec into my actual build

[carmine flicker]

Rakestomp can be endgame build by it's own

[celest blaze]

How muh dex is needed for a spear to make it work?

[frosty finch]

I believe the max dex requirement you need to equip spears is 165

So level 20 skill gems probably require something like 200 dex

[patent shell]

how can i get 300 resonance do i have to do 33% light 33% fire 33% cold ?

[frosty finch]

Its really confusing lol

I think you have to alternate between the 3 elements

[jagged pawn]

stupid question maybe but for spectres, does it matter if i get the mob from normal difficulty or cruel? or are they identical once spectrified?

[static plinth]

@still rock Can i interest you in jank that may not work

[cosmic tulip]

anyone playing artilery balistas on huntress ?

[frosty finch]

Honestly i'm immediately thinking of some attack speed crossbow build with triple elemental damage

This would be so jank

[unreal sierra]

you either need to swap or have nearly equal

[static plinth]

True 300 resonance is impossible

Unless perfect balance causes it to happen, but that wont happen with any form of damage roll. You need Painter's Servant or similar to have an exactly equal amount of % Gain As Extra

Otherwise, settle for 250

[patent shell]

18% more dmg for each 100 reso and u can get 300 so ye triple ele is strong but hard to make u need all ele pen which u can get with weapon sockets and tree

[frosty finch]

what's the limit you can get ?

[forest crater]

Thanks for the info I appreciate it

[thin basin]

can some1 make out what sup gem is this

[static plinth]

Concentrated/Magnified Effect?

[scenic dawn]

Whats the best ring for getting lightning damage?

[inland vector]

Is there a guide for a lighting arrow polciklern herald of ice build or does no one play it

I know they heavily nerfed HoI proccing on itself and HoT proccing it

[hoary bolt]

Is there any way to consistently lose mana to enable Serpent's Lesson?

[gaunt ether]

what ascendancy are you

[hoary bolt]

infernalist

I cant use cowards legacy though

[gaunt ether]

ah nvm then, if lich was gonna say itd be easier to snapshop your hp

[ancient vessel]

Can someone please tell me the default elemental resistances of mobs? White, magic, rare and uniques please :)

[manic kite]

is there any wya to divert the life skill cost on tangletongue to something else?

[gaunt ether]

for mapping could just easily have life on kill

or % life from jewels

bossing just pop a flask

[austere sparrow]

heyo im playing ls spear amazon, using the unique spear tangletongue, which 4th ascendancy point makes sense to allocate, i have the infusion, the weakness reveal and the crit node

[gaunt ether]

penatrate for sure when you upgrade into a rare spear

probably still pen, not much else is good

if you plan to go the es leech gloves then the leech node obv

[frosty finch]

yo it's capped

[manic kite]

meh i was trying to run CI. time to switch to seaglass i guess

[austere sparrow]

alright thx!

[echo spoke]

Anyone here running amazon crossbow?

[carmine flicker]

wow, turns out it works
you can explode terracota spectres with detonate dead while they are, well, kinda stone

[static plinth]

Are you just using Ventors for that?

[frosty finch]

yeah lol 3 ventors

[carmine flicker]

also they give huge energy for cast on minion death
like 1/2 of comet or close to it, if you take nodes and quality
so spell-cascaded explosion of terracota spectres cast comet

idk if that's really useful

but probably smth could be found there

(not to mention that explosion does damage by itself, ofc)

[frosty finch]

i'm having huge mana issues for my build, any idea how i could fix it ?

[carmine flicker]

what build?

[pearl sluice]

Are Caltrops affected by increasing Accuracy?

[wide herald]

Why do people go chronomancer for cold spells?

[ocean elk]

Is Valako's Roar worth using in frenzy builds?

tempted to try it but unsure

[static plinth]

Its inconsistent since we dont have anything like Lightning Coil

But if you have 3 charm slots i think you can pretty easily justify it

[pearl sluice]

I go fast fast fast for Cold Spells. Pathfinder is where I tend to go for Cold.

[inland nebula]

Am I the only one that Heroic Tragedy Jewels dont work in PoB2 atm?

Any workarounds or is it a known bug, or is it just a me problem

[atomic halo]

in what way

the notables by seed dont work because we havent cracked that yet

[inland nebula]

copy from trade site > paste into pob > put into jewel slot > get error > jewel does nothing, doesnt show what stats change or anything, its just a dead 0 mod dust collector

[atomic halo]

show me what the copy and paste gives

anyway there's no point in copypasting from trade

[atomic halo]

just make one and choose the keystone

[inland nebula]

or did u mean the literal text

[atomic halo]

missing a linebreak

between medved and passives

hit edit and edit it in

[inland nebula]

ah tyty

[pearl sluice]

Also, Frost Bomb is nice when it happens several times in a row sometimes.

[carmine flicker]

how do you stack 90 fire res on infernalist?
(or you just don't?)

[fleet stream]

I have a question regarding bleed : in what way is %to bleed chance and %to bleed magnitude (on red jewels) "better" than %to inflict ailments and %to ailment magnitude (on blue and green jewels)

[silver sigil]

you just dont

[silver sigil]

nvm i read the question wrong lol.. The tooltip explains it. Bleed is just a flat chance. Whatever chance to bleed it says, that's how much bleed you get.

[static plinth]

With the removal of jewels it kind of sucks, but max of +5% from armour runes

You needed 5 jewels which was just achievable with normal pathing before the patch that removed a ton

[fleet stream]

so %to inflict ailments doesn't include chance to bleed?

because bleed is an ailment

[static plinth]

Makes Infernoclasp more viable if you give up your belt slot

[static plinth]

Assuming you mean % Increased chance to inflict ailments, you need a base chance ot bleed since the base chance is 0

If you have a 50% chance to bleed (like from the support,) 100% increased chance to inflict ailments makes you guaranteed

[fleet stream]

so the support gem is one of the few ways to add a base chance to a skill that doesn't autobleed

[static plinth]

There should also be some on the tree but yeah

[fleet stream]

Do the red jewels add flat bleed chance or is it also an increase? The wording is a bit different

[rapid star]

What build could work with pathfinder? I'm at lvl 87 with poisonburst arrow build, and is starting to fall down in terms of fun
was wondering if a poison spear build would work

[fleet stream]

I played PF last season. Looking at the nerfs I wouldn't really know where to start. Concoction got gutted in like 3 different ways

[rapid star]

Yeah, i would not count concoction for main skill, a freezing or ignite support maybe

[fleet stream]

My Hexblast BM got hit even harder, that spell is totally dead now

[rapid star]

I can also just find a way to make poison burst more fun, main problem is that gas arrow is too weak for clear, and poisonburst lacks the aoe for maps

almost slaping fork on it and seeing if it works XD

[carmine flicker]

5 runes, 5 jewels.. where last 5?

[static plinth]

Wait are +2 max res jewels legacy now

[carmine flicker]

sould like it

[static plinth]

Then you eat shit or wear infernoclasp ig

[carmine flicker]

infernoclasp or rise?

[fleet stream]

You could switch to elemental spear with plague fingers to apply poison? Glacial Lance is pretty strong

[rapid star]

was thinking of it!

I'll look into how does those builds work

[woeful shard]

What do you guys think of my new build?

[carmine flicker]

why so slow?

[rapid star]

because "the vision"

i'm joking

[woeful shard]

I call this build 'the vision' yes

[carmine flicker]

oh, that's understandable
the question was "why SO slow, that's not slow enough"

[woeful shard]

Im trying to make it slower I could use some ideas

[carmine flicker]

is there self chill?

[woeful shard]

hmm isnt there a unique that inflicts ailments on self? thats a good idea

oo also I can use Treefingers unique gloves

-5% attack speed

[carmine flicker]

you probably should reduce damage too
oneshotting things is not how game should be played

like.. do some combo
like 2-3 volcanic fissures, then warcry, then.. idk

like 4 skills combo to kill pack

[woeful shard]

thats a good point, combos are part of the vision

i spent my last exalt on treefingers and the -5% attack speed made sunder not work any more 😦

[carmine flicker]

and being slow allow you to execute combos even for those who have bad reaction times!

wdym not work?

[woeful shard]

like its broken lol just stuck in the initial attack animation

[carmine flicker]

lol

[woeful shard]

build optimization compelte i guess

complete*

[crude sonnet]

Anyone who can help with a safe ranged build for a new player? Preferably spellcasting.

She needs a guide.

I'm not familiar with PoE2 yet so I can't help her myself.

[carmine flicker]

for new player I advice rakestomp
it's not ranged
or caster
but it can be done on ANY class to respec later, work from lvl 6 and is easy and hard to mess
and REALLY strong early

then after first 3-4 acts can be re-spec into basically anything you want

(minion builds are very safe I'd say since you can dodge things while minions do the kill)

[near timber]

note for future thorn users. thorn crit can trigger choir. this ring makes choir trigger on attack hit. is it useful? no

[carmine flicker]

you can already deal thorns on attack

[crude sonnet]

Thanks a lot. She specifically asked for ranged, she has played a lot of Diablo, since the 90's. It's just her first time doing PoE which is quite a bit more extensive build-wise. I will try to suggest the build to her.(I already found a lich summoner build for her btw)

If anyone else has a ranged build I'd really like to know.

[mortal swift]

Lich frost mages is very chill and technically spell casting

Or EDC lich

Or freeze Chrono

[rose rapids]

How much damage do the Infused Blasts you get from the Amazons Elemental Infusion notable deal?

[deft shoal]

I'm trying to level Deadeye with Galvanic Shards and Lightning Rod but it doesn't seem to proc as much as using Lightning Arrow. Would there be a specific reason for that?

[ruby forum]

yo guys, why do i have -50 elemental resistance as default

[native bolt]

does increase spell damage increases the LA dps?

[atomic halo]

is it a spell?

[cold forum]

I just finished campaign with huntress, any good guides I can follow? I am a bit confused on how to tackle gear at this point

[atomic halo]

(you can check by looking at the skill.)

[native bolt]

attack

oh ty

[carmine flicker]

Frost mages damage is really... Lacking
The moment I switched from cold to storm mages was like 10x better gameplay

[burnt gust]

How is the interaction of "Mind Over Matter" and "Soulless Form" as Lich? Do I get MoM but the lesser mana reg is not a disadvantage?

[mortal swift]

it isnt, you are running command spell frost mages

[mortal swift]

it still affects u, only base regen is removed due to soulless form, the hp% regen u get is affected by mana regen modifiers

[rich heath]

Never play witch before, anyone have a minions lvl build to share to me please?

[burnt gust]

I see thanks

[marsh carbon]

Is the lightning arrow crit chance per arrow projectile or is it the same regardless of the number of projectiles?

[tawdry swift]

OMFG! Enemies will stun,freeze, CC lock you so much in T15

WTF GGG?!?!

[atomic halo]

get more stun threshold

get more elemental ailment threshold

the tools to solve your problems are avaliable to you

[little rock]

what supports should I use Convalescence? I am already using ingenuity and persistence on other skills

[novel pivot]

I started with woolies bleed build, I've since switched into twister build. Both I've been clearing t15s with. Going to transition to lightning spear over the next few days.

[jovial blade]

how to tell if I'm doing crit dmg?

[proud condor]

How much life do you have?

[edgy dust]

Are there certain steps i can take to make my flask better?

[tawdry swift]

I tried monk CI, 3400es...no CI 2400hp

I get perma stunned by those spiders or crabs

I have wind dancer with arms length and unbreakable

Once i get perma stun, no matter how much i smash buttons, attacks or dodge roll, i can't get out of it until i die because i ran out of flasks

Stun lock for maybe about 8-10secs doing nothing

[proud condor]

Stun/ailment threshold is based off your life like in PoE1, at lower life values you're more susceptible. There are nodes that add ES to the calculation, may help a little.

[proud condor]

There should be some frames of stun immunity if you get chain stunned, at least there are for my warrior. I have 4.5k+ life right now and I still went for Unwavering Stance to be fair, stuns aren't fun.

[tawdry swift]

Ooohhhhhh got it!!! Thanks @proud condor i'll look for those nodes!! 😅 👍 👍

[proud condor]

"We've added a cluster to the Passive Skill Tree near Chaos Inoculation that allows you to invest into a heavy amount of Stun and Ailment Threshold based on your Energy Shield. We will be adding more Stun mitigation later around the tree, notably in the Dextrous section."

Those were in the most recent patch notes.

[tawdry swift]

Alright!!!!! 💪 💪 nice!!! thank you very much @proud condor

[patent shell]

300 i think it was

[uncut trout]

Can charms push my resistance above the 75 percent cap?

[dawn spire]

Unless they have a mod that grants max res (which I don't think they can) then no

[uncut trout]

Gotcha, thanks

[copper portal]

i like to play warrior and blocking. is new ascendancy kitava good enough to lose turtle charm?

ssf btw

[dawn spire]

Depends on the build and what other defenses you're using. Smith can get insane max res and take 25% of phys as fire. It's absurdly good for ssf, but having 40% block from your shield is also very good for ssf.

[copper portal]

on my first (and last) build i was 80% block

[dawn spire]

Smith loses their chest slot, kinda, but warbringer gets way more flexibility and better mods on their shield

[copper portal]

and i had capped res

[dawn spire]

Capped at what %?

[copper portal]

75%

stopped at lvl 15 waypoints because bored but that was long ago

[dawn spire]

Smith can pretty easily get to like 85+% all ele res I wanna say

[copper portal]

chaos was 68 though

worth enough to lose turtle?

[dawn spire]

No idea

It's like asking if your semi is worth losing for a pickup truck. They do things in very different ways

Do you take the block slam node? Is that turtle?

[copper portal]

bleh. i want to try out playing armor (hate that its kitava btw) but i am a big sucker for blocking

yep

turtle charm is the warbringer node that says "you block all now"

so aoe etc

[dawn spire]

Blocking slams is nice, but 20% of the time you just die.

Kitava can negate at least 20% of phys damage pretty trivially. Depends on if you want stronger and less reliable, or weaker and consistent

[devout garnet]

The first one doesnt work with the second one right?

[dawn spire]

And ele res also works against damage over time, which warbringer's block does nothing for

[dawn spire]

They work together, yeah

[devout garnet]

they do? nice

[dawn spire]

Yeah, if you have 100 phys damage, you add 12% of that as fire, then convert 75 phys to fire and add on the 12 for 87 fire damage

[devout garnet]

so kinda mitigates the 25% less damage

at least for phys

[atomic halo]

convert and gain as occur at the same time

so you would benefit from your full phys value for burning strikes

[dawn spire]

I mean, kinda? I wouldn't say it's mitigating it. I'd say it's synergizing

It's a source of damage that isn't reduced at all by avatar of fire

Assuming you only do base phys damage

[devout garnet]

so i should add phys instead of ele damage? i mean, the "add lightning" one

[atomic halo]

that is a terrible weapon, no?

[devout garnet]

why? lol

[dawn spire]

What's your main skill?

[devout garnet]

spear stab smile

with temper i guess
