[median wharf]

do u have pob?

[inland ore]

Not really… i mean yes but it’s hard through mobile xD it’s mostly just my supports on skills, my gear is kind of decent and im using combat frenzy to generate charges

[median wharf]

oh just copy off people on poe2 ninja then

[foggy plover]

Does stomping ground fall off at around act 2 when used with shield charge?

[median wharf]

it can be used for all content

[foggy plover]

ok thanks

[granite iris]

hellow fellas

does someone knows what is the higest life normal mob in the game?

making a silly infernal legion build

im currently using a gargoyle demon

[void osprey]

https://poe2.ninja/builds/dawn/character/XHunter-0256/JoshTheRanger?i=0&search=class%3DDeadeye%26name%3Djosh

this is my current build, is it possible for me to upgrade my Rarity to 150-ish%? for around 20divs?

[median wharf]

does this work with chill and maim?

[small bronze]

Anyone know the answer to this?

[brittle anvil]

rods

LA is there to trigger rods

[small bronze]

Thanks. So having max DPS on the rods themselves is key. And lots of rods. But arrow is important for wave clear, so it's a bit of both.

[brittle anvil]

yep

you can also add orb of storm on the rods to trigger even more

[gleaming kite]

when i put my skilltree into PoB, it says that level 87 is required but my character is level 91. ive checked the tree like 10 times and im sure it is accurate.. how do i account for the difference?

[median wharf]

Use the import feature

[gleaming kite]

?

oh

[unreal girder]

Is there any new skill that looks good for ignite or is it still maw/ea city?

I mean buffed skill

How's the new hexblast?

[old shuttle]

https://pobb.in/nAYFD1NSRevh anything stupid im missing for this

i guess better jewel come to think of it

god speed to that mod hot damn

[normal fable]

Whys skysliver worth so much?

[median wharf]

Rake stomp

[normal fable]

Ah damn okay ty

[inland pelican]

👀 (oh it doesn't show the 20% quality there)

might switch from tangletongue & sacred flame

what are some other good chaos uniques? :D (amazon rn)

[static torrent]

I'm assuming you're looking for the PoE1 channels up above https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/185829045596848129

[graceful haven]

whoops thanks my bad

[regal raven]

just came back to poe2 from 0.1. any recommendations for a leveling class that does decently well into endgame with low investment? Wanted to try out spears but i figured since they're meta the prices for them would be cooked

[median wharf]

Rake stomping ground

It actually crazy how well u described the build

[regal raven]

which class and ascend? are spear build prices cooked?

[median wharf]

U can run it on almost every class, warrior/smith is the easiest to scale defense with

Spear is dirt cheap, u dont use it for damage, purely for attack speed

[regal raven]

i see

[median wharf]

Expensive part is single target

[regal raven]

seems like blood mage and amazonian seem to be popular spear ascends

[median wharf]

Yeah u can make em work for sure

[vagrant nacelle]

Would ya´ll say that Deadeye or Amazone is better for lightning spear build?

[woven depot]

Deadeye imo

both work and will perform similarly

[small bronze]

I'm playing lightning rod invoker. use lightning arrow (which chains) to wipe maps, plus 20 lightning rods on the ground where a boss is standing and watch its health bar disappear. It can start cheap and grow from there.

[median wharf]

Deadeye is better, but if u are poor, amazon

[vagrant nacelle]

what do you mean by that?

and why exacly i deadeye better
i´m currently playing amazone

[median wharf]

Better single target

One cast bosses n shit

[vagrant nacelle]

mhmm

sounds good

and its overall more expensive or what did you mean

[median wharf]

Yeah i would say a budget amazon is > budget deadeye

Then ofc a decked out de > decked out amazon

[kindred burrow]

what is the best warrior subclass for bleed spear build and do tou have any link to a good one (preferably budget friendly as this patch has not been nice to me regarding currency)

[vagrant nacelle]

i already have a 60% sacred flame and very good tangletounge could i just use these on the deadeye or do i use other equip?

[median wharf]

Oh lol, go deadeye mr baller

Ur 60% sacred flame prob buys my whole amazon build

[vagrant nacelle]

do you by any chance also have any good deadeye build that you could recommend?

[vagrant nacelle]

i rolled it

was a 57 before

so lucky

[median wharf]

#1324862098567725066

[vagrant nacelle]

mhmm

thank you very much mr deathree

[kindred burrow]

Please help ?

[vagrant nacelle]

not ignoring you i just have no idea sorry

[median wharf]

Yeah no idea also

All i know is blood mage is good at bleed spear

[kindred burrow]

is it the crit elememt of the build ?

[south sigil]

Hello guys, what's the smoothest from early game into endgame for a first charcter, Huntress Lightning Spear or Deadeye Lighnting Short ?

[kindred burrow]

dead eye lighting spear

[south sigil]

realy ?

[kindred burrow]

yes , i have i huntress build and my friend have dead eye

he does 100% more damage than me \

[south sigil]

Well thank you, will take a look at it

[stone burrow]

would i be stupid in trying to league start a smite champ using dreamfeather, and later replica dreamfeather?

anyone know what this is? maim?

[waxen pilot]

Can anyone recommend a lvling buld for Merc/Tactition ? Relatively new but want to roll into siege cascade

[median wharf]

rake stomping

[muted birch]

Yea Rake stoml shock magnitude helps dmg heaps

[glad arrow]

If you didn't figure it out yet, some support gems don't work on it anymore (for example, spell echo)

[bright haven]

what are some good gems to link to wind dancer and herald of thunder?

[half wedge]

anyone happens to know how much radius does Ambu's Charge have?

[peak matrix]

Who got the best holy relic build out there? BalorMage?

[stark kestrel]

Yeah I figured out that they fixed the bug that it was incorrectly counting as a self cast spell instead of a triggered spell. So more supp gems could be socketed and it also triggered other spells.

[ruby turret]

does a thundergod’s wrath casted spell get archmage damage boost without the extra cost?

i have an idea but this is a little important to the idea

[acoustic kite]

Best build that farms essence and harvest

In your guy's opinion

[brittle anvil]

wrong channel

[jovial blade]

does commiserate and overcharge work together?

[median wharf]

Work together as in u dont get shocked yes

[idle goblet]

this new channels naming convention is doing great i see 😐

[static torrent]

It was a problem before, people just don't check the channel they're posting in

[idle goblet]

Looks way more frequent now really, but its not a problem. Its harder to spot the channel for me too btw, if ya want a feedback

[static torrent]

Trust me, it was very frequent back then, too. It's only happening now because PoE1 content is coming up, so people that are interested check for the first build-planning (or whatever other channel) one they see and go in, without reading the number. They did this even back when it said poe1 or poe2 as a prefix.

[idle goblet]

The channel names changed in start of June or end of May ?

[static torrent]

Semi-recently, but this is correlation, not causation. People started going into the wrong channels often the moment the 3.26 announcement stream happened

[drifting pollen]

Hi, I was wondering what is the best quality to upgrade my rings when it excists of: 2x dmg to attacks, int, fire res, chaos res, rarity found

[median wharf]

What attacks

[drifting pollen]

light and physical, other ring has cold and physical. both being an unset ring (giving extra skill slot). Averiging T5

[median wharf]

Attack quality probably

[drifting pollen]

btw when 20% quality is added, will it round up or down? lets say it ends up adding 2.8. will it add 2 or 3. 2 right?

[median wharf]

Iirc always rounds down

[drifting pollen]

thnx

[past wind]

How does general cry works with Dominating blow? Do my mirage summon minions?

[idle goblet]

Oh, a man of culture. I agree , correlation != causation

[dapper horizon]

Fragmentation rounds pierces two enemies. Will chance to pierce on the tree increase that or is it fixed?

[static torrent]

It should increase, each 100% is apparently equivalent to 1 more enemy pierced, so it should work.

[median wharf]

If the skill says 2, wouldnt 100% increase mean 2 more

[static torrent]

No, most effects that increase Pierce use the wording "#% chance to Pierce an Enemy", they do not increase the number of enemies Pierced.

[last slate]

Hi Guys, just going to start itemization of my character for the end game. I was curios, is there a specific order in which we should start itemization of our equipment? like Main Weapon>Offhand>amulent>...>ring etc?

[static torrent]

Generally, you just look for upgrades in whatever makes the biggest impact on offence or defence, whichever you're struggling with. Getting a new weapon can have a huge impact on offence, but so can getting a specific Unique that you need for your build, which could be a Ring or Off-hand.

[last slate]

Thanks! I was mainly wondering about the ideal gear progression.
I'm playing a Deadeye and planning to prioritize Bow and Quill first. After that, I'm thinking of going for an amulet with +2/3 skill levels, then maybe gloves for extra damage, followed by a ring with added elemental (lightning) damage. Then everything else to fit the resistances and more survivability(?)
Does that order make sense? Or is there anything I should shift around or prioritize differently?

[rich bolt]

I'm making an iceshot build using heat shiver and 2 of the new gain 6% of damage as each element runes on my bow. I plan on using these with embitter support which turns heat shiver into gain extra cold damage equal to chill and the new runes into gain 18% extra cold damage each. Do you think this would work at act 4 and damage feels really good but worried it might fall off later.

[rich bolt]

I'm trying it in path of building but embitter doesn't seem to be working or i'm doing something wrong.

[atomic halo]

link pobb.in

oh pob doesnt recognize embitter

its not implemented yet

[rich bolt]

Guess i'm building blind

[foggy bloom]

what are the best evasion/ES nodes for endgame hybrid builds? (STR/DEX main stats)

[median wharf]

Near monk tree

[foggy bloom]

which tree?

[foggy bloom]

you mean the main monk tree?

[median wharf]

pretty much the ones u posted

plus subfuwhatever mask

[foggy bloom]

I don't have ES helm

[foggy bloom]

which one is better? between these two?

[median wharf]

y not?

[median wharf]

are u using full ev armor?

[foggy bloom]

Yes, but focusing on life

[median wharf]

👀 yeah thats very low ev

i dont think u are fit to run es ngl

[foggy bloom]

only piece I've got with ES is helm and amulet

ES/Evasion nodes are kinda far from the Mercenary tree

[median wharf]

yeah, far from low life nodes too

y do that to urself

[foggy bloom]

but I can pick these with mega jewel

[foggy bloom]

not really, those are close to the Merc tree

[median wharf]

im saying es/eva is far from that

since u gotta go towards warrior a bit

[foggy bloom]

well yeah it goes down quite far

[median wharf]

u arent taking the other cluster?

[foggy bloom]

This one? It's overkill for me rn

currently running T11

[median wharf]

that one u can take with a from nothing jewel

[foggy bloom]

stuff dies pretty fast

I want to survive slams

[median wharf]

ahh yeah, thats the issue with all hp builds

[foggy bloom]

those sudden 500hp life moments

perhaps I should wait until 90+ to invest into ES

how much ES is ok for HP build?

[median wharf]

the answer is never enough

the problem is ur es wont recover quickly

especially in bossing situations

so after u survive ur hit

u are back to low phys max

it works if u take eternal youth, since u can heal back es with flask

but then u would want much higher es to make that work

[foggy bloom]

I have Ghost Dance and Wind Dancer

[median wharf]

i mean u can test, not as good as u think

[foggy bloom]

I'm testing with Lv.11 ghost dance, I find myself with 3 stacks up most of the time

but it's recovering 141 only, I was aiming to get enough for the 5% evasion rate

[median wharf]

yeah but thats helpping u survive pinnacle boss?

[foggy bloom]

no, but armor isn't either

I wanna try without the unique helm, use ES helm with the subterfudge

[median wharf]

eventually u would wanna go full es

i did this with eternal youth

i also map with enfeeble aura, so additional 20% damage mitigation from normal mosnters

[median wharf]

if u play lightning, u can also do something similar to this

[rich bolt]

@atomic halo is there a way i can manually put embitter into the pob calcs? Want to figure out a direction and passives to focus on before I hit maps so I don't need to farm gold for a respec.

[atomic halo]

delete the sources that do give you gain as non-cold (in pob)

and add them up yourself and add that to config

so hit edit and break the gain as lines with a # or something

and if it all adds to 100% for example add Gain 100% of Damage as Cold Damage

[rich bolt]

Thanks I'll do up a pob with that after classes today and link it!

[chilly swan]

I'm curious about order of operations again... if I have call of the brotherhood, converting all my lightning to cold, and then I take a passive where I gain 5% of damage as lightning, is that gained damage also converted?

[atomic halo]

no

gain as is the same thing as conversion

except it doesnt take damage away from the originator type

as a result they are calculated at the same time

so 100 light -> 100 cold + 5 lightning

[chilly swan]

Interesting. So then it's possible to still apply shock...

Unlikely because it's only 5% of my damage, but still.

[chilly swan]

Thank you, that was really helpful.

[chilly swan]

Hmm, I suppose ambrosia and charged shots might actually be useful in this insurance.

[nimble fiber]

Has anyone tried Twister with impale and then extract impale with Rake for an easy and hopefully big bleed? have no idea if this would be working and just theorizing. But twister is alot of phys and alot of hits (given on how fast and often my cast on crit proccs). It has around the same Attack damage as Rake but alot more with 3 stages. Now every hit impale would store 30% of phys (does it store a crit aswell?). And after a twister you run around anyways disoriented (lol), waiting for barrage cd, salvo cd etc. So you might aswell extract that impale with a Rake and slot Deep Cuts (dunno if the phys damage malus would only apply to the Rake hit but not the impale hit), Concoct and maybe See red maybe knock back. Has anyone tried that? Would that result in a meaningfull bleed?

[brittle anvil]

oops wrong channel (but volcanic fissure of snaking)

[upper viper]

Arent those str stackers ?

[brittle anvil]

nope it's a league starter (i mean str stacker is the endgame version)

[upper viper]

Ah okay, might have mixed em. Because i would only see str stacker versions of it XD

Guess imma checkout Tuna then 😂
Thanks

[upper viper]

Just noticed why you said wrong channel.. im so dumb, the damn changes to the channel names are dorking my brain.

[brittle anvil]

well you are not the only one

[upper viper]

I see that haha, for someone as blind as me. They need to make those titles better 😂

[median wharf]

Yey, first case to prove causation

The mods seem to think people are dumb to begin with, not cuz of channel name changes

[upper viper]

Yeah, my problem is also. Another channel i am in uses the 2 | Format for amount of channels 😂

[inland nebula]

Has even a single player ever made a rain of arrows build lmao

[median wharf]

I briefly used it to farm frenzy charges

Didnt rly end up liking it

[inland nebula]

I didn't see a single youtube or reddit post on it skill seems dead in the water

[median wharf]

Pretty much, not too impressive

Wasnt it nerfed last league?

[inland nebula]

No way it got nerfed somehow when not a single soul uses it

lmao

[median wharf]

Yeah im thinking of the wrong skill, vine got nerfed last league

[quartz forum]

Has anyone trialled the interaction between Rathpith and the new Mjolner?

I'm hoping the line "Supported Skills Cost nothing" takes precedent

[abstract grove]

If you were able to extract all impales in a single hit then this would be insane, but currently you'd only be extracting one at a time with rake

Disengage or blood hunt still likely ideal for impale for rake - you want one big hit instead of a bunch of small ones if the goal is a big bleed. If you could apply multiple bleeds then it would be a different story

[wild whale]

any suggestions to replace my infernalist comet after it got gutted

[rich bolt]

https://pobb.in/JoUCS4cCXr6D This is similar to what my character is right now but with some endgame gear on it. damage still feels really good clear is good but bosses do take a littlebit of time

[chilly swan]

Somewhat tangential but, I've used minions to extract lots of small impales on a caster but, it doesn't scale very well. You still just end up with the 30% extra damage from impale basically.

You do get the benefit of doing something like, scale 1 skill for max hit / impale, scale another skill for applying bleed, and another for applying poison. The 30% phys from your impale then applies to the bleed / poison hit from your minions.

But, it's still peanuts compared to meta builds or blood hunt infinite scaling.

[chilly swan]

Your gear is absolutely bonkers for level 55 lol.

[chilly swan]

That tree looks somewhat similar to mine. I don't have my 3rd or 4th ascendency yet, and, am using Call of the Brotherhood right now. I was using ice shot, but, the clear felt lackluster compared to lightning arrow. And then LA was also better at bossing because of lightning rods...

[chilly swan]

Here's my current character for comparison: https://poe2.ninja/profile/CPlusPlus_-1352/character/Pull_HCSSF

I'm tempted to invest in charms and try to get charms that give guard on being hit. With the passive that takes 5% of phys as a random element, it would, in theory, always proc 1 of those charms when I get hit, right?

[nimble fiber]

Yeah i was under the assumption that you can extract all impales at once. One by one is not that beneficial. I can hardly see a usecase.

[abstract grove]

Personally prefer impale on disengage, feels way more natural - only issue is that sometimes spearfield can eat the impale, but can still get off a huge rake. Maybe not 3s Xesht kill but comfy enough lol

[chilly swan]

I could have sworn there was a way to prevent impale extraction (aside from the impale support)

[abstract grove]

Ya there's a support that does +30% damage but skill can't inflict bleed, that's an option but my clear is spearfield + hob so not ideal for my build. That support goes on bloodhunt since it consumes bleed anyway.

Prob works better on a dual spearfield build like that one popular creator did, but I'm too lazy for that

[gusty timber]

does energy barrier actually work on wind dancer? i feel like unbreakable does but i haven't seen the recharge work maybe i'm bugging.

the thing a ton of blood mages are doing is impale on blood hunt btw

if your blood hunt does 10m, your next rake will have like 3m flat added phys to bleed with

not that blood hunt won't oneshot already, but if it doesn't...

[gray patrol]

Would Voltaxic rift convert the gained lightning damage from volt to chaos? My gut says no

[static torrent]

It would not.

[gusty timber]

extra damage is only currently convertable with Embitter support, to Cold Damage

iirc

[gusty timber]

i think im gonna block and get heavy stunned on purpose to test this

[gray patrol]

You have given me a great idea thank you

[gusty timber]

np, what are you tryna cook up?

[gray patrol]

Voltaxic rift ice shot to proc HoI and HoT

[gusty timber]

nice

[gray patrol]

I can probably get over the cold threshold to freeze stuff with volt + embitter if I don’t have enough flat cold from rings and stuff

And then I can put innervate and ice bite on the heralds to get that going even better

[regal turtle]

Do scepters technically count as melee weapons and the attribute requirement could be satisfied by wearing Jarngreipr?

[static torrent]

They don't allow you to perform Melee Attacks with them - or Attack with them at all, even - so I would assume not.

[atomic halo]

Do scepters technically count as melee weapons

they are not melee weapons

they are not "technically" melee weapons

because they are in no way melee weapons

because they are not martial weapons

[shadow zephyr]

I mean you mysteriously can't use them to mage melee attacks in the game but tbh I'm a little bothered by that, game essentially telling us we can't use a weighted stick to beat monsters. 😂

(Unless it's called a mace)

[chilly swan]

How do you know they're weighted? Maybe they're hollow, or made from aluminum.

[shadow zephyr]

You're right, let me hit you with a hollow aluminum stick (I'm pretty sure we call those bats nowadays 🤣 ). Definitely won't hurt more than my hands

I mean it is what it is, it's a game. Balance and all that, right? Just makes me chuckle that I gotta weapon swap to melee while I'm holding a metal rod

[simple ice]

Guys, the Crimson Assault keystone passive, is that worth for a bleed build?

[prisma vortex]

does anyone know 100% what is the interaction between Atziri's Acuity (instant leech) and Fast Metabolism notable?
Please answer if you really know from personal experience not what you think it might be, thanks

[timid lava]

Guys can someone explain the difference between having ailments and ignite magnitude buffs on jewels? My immediate thought was having ailments would be better because it covers more than one aspect, but it seems the market has a different approach, so insights would be appreciated greatly 🙏

[gusty timber]

[[Bursting Decay]]

aw

this thing has no downside on a hybrid lifestacker lich, correct?

you could even run two and ingenuity

then rathpith, crown of eyes, etc

with 5k life thats 450 flat phys without a weapon

then crown of eyes is giving 500% inc dmg with rathpith

just throw tangletongue or something on after

must be a weapon that would further synergize off the life and/or str stacking

[gusty timber]

theres no downside to ailment magnitude over ignite magnitude, unless you have something that affects fire mods specifically

like how with blackflame you would put fire catalysts on it instead of chaos since the mod has fire tag

[timid lava]

Oh that makes sense, so for builds that fire focus ignite would work mechanically in the background unlike ailments, thank you @gusty timber 🫡

[pearl sluice]

is there a way to serach on trade for rune sockets being empty?

[brittle anvil]

What do you need empty sockets for?

[chilly swan]

You can replace runes that have already been socketed.

[wraith palm]

That wouldn’t do anything. You want the leech effect to be continuous with fast metabolism, so the insta leech cancels out fast metabolism effectively

[mental basalt]

your leech will heal instantly. Any overheal will be stored for 1 second. If you lose any HP during the next second, it will heal you

[frosty arrow]

So what exactly is like the most obvious "intended" playstyle for tacticians? Ballistas? And what would I support them with. Grenades seem logical

[shadow zephyr]

inb4 -105% player recovery modifier on a corrupted map

"Map has 4 random extra modifiers, that sounds promi...oh."

[shadow zephyr]

I mean if you're going to commit hard to the path for damage synergy abandon the spear and build it into mace skills...if you're stacking life/str you can probably field giant's blood for a 2h-mace+scepter/shield setup and start piling that physical damage modifier into HotG, Sunder, or Shield Charge with the Brutality-Heft-Heavy Swing trio

And since you'll be stacking strength anyway you can shove sunder (with 2 2h-maces) into an AWT and have it really shotgun for you...I seem to recall you can trade out spirit for multi-totem capacity on your side of the tree

[foggy bloom]

is life regeneration rate better than flat life regeneration per second?

[shadow zephyr]

Regeneration rate makes your regen speed go faster, so they're complementary numbers, but you want to focus on flat life regen first, since nothing twice as fast is still nothing. 100% rate effectively halves the time for your regen per second, turning into regen per .5 seconds (a net double in regen).

They're complementary numbers with regen per second being the base and rate being the multiplier.

There's actually a third complementary number you can pursue, % increased life regen. Once again, the higher your flat regen per second, the better this is.

[foggy bloom]

% increased life regen is based on max life or just the flat regen?

[shadow zephyr]

% increased life regen is based on all sources of life regen

[foggy bloom]

if my build is based on max life (currently at 2,600K HP and 70% evasion, would life regen increase my effective HP?

[shadow zephyr]

so if you have 100% increased life regen and 100 total life regen per second, it becomes 200 life regen per second (and if you had 100% increased regen rate, it'd be 200 life per half second, or 400 per second)

[shadow zephyr]

Yes/No. Regen only increases your effective HP in an engagement where getting hit doesn't one-shot you. You don't mention armour, energy shield, or resists in these numbers, so I can only assume that if something breathes on you in a T16+2/3/4 map, you're gonna explode like a balloon.

[foggy bloom]

Wind Dancer + Ghost Dance
I want to know if I should invest on more ES, Life Regen, or Armor

rare helm is not an option for my build

This is my current armour chest

I'm using megalomaniac jewel to get ES/Evasion nodes

[median wharf]

That seems like a huge waste

[foggy bloom]

you mean a waste of points?
How can I make it worthwhile?

[median wharf]

Ur chest has very little evasion, top end goes over 2k

[shadow zephyr]

With an HES of less than 3K, if you're rocking 22% armour you need more HES and more armour IMO, but my playstyle on my warbringer is to facetank everything except exploding corpses (10% of 10% of hundreds of thousand of life is way more than I can soak lol), so I may be biased.

My perception of endgame is that if your armour value only hits 22% and you got less than 3K HES your armour value may as well not exist, especially against crits. Stack evasion harder and pray for acrobatics to save you.

[median wharf]

But something like a evasion/es hybrid can make use of those better

1200 eva and like 450 es

[shadow zephyr]

I have a bit of a hot take on this actually. If you're going to run hybrid your endgame piece should always be a build-focused Regalia. 😄

i meant to say hybrid, not evasion

any hybrid

[median wharf]

Evasion isn’t reliable, its just a second layer to an es heavy build

Subf mask and hybrid chest gets u around 70% eva with wind dance

[foggy bloom]

My build relies on pinning enemies to avoid getting hit, kinda like a Freeze build, but I want to avoid getting one shot by slams or Pinnacle boss (I haven't been killed by those yet, and I haven't tested my current build vs pinnacle)

[shadow zephyr]

I mean I normally only treat evasion as a second layer to block but his block chance is 0% so that's not really on the table. I just meant acrobatics to save him from explosions while he's kiting for his life

[median wharf]

Acrobatics is even worse

Cost way too much for a chance to be oneshot

U can go for the temu acrobatics unique chest

Thats better than actual acrobatics

[shadow zephyr]

I ran a pathfinder last season that used the physical pin boots and ran combat frenzy with gas arrow and rain of arrows, I like the playstyle...

But pinning gets kind of unreliable in the lapses where you can't oneshot a boss

not that you won't still have the damage to kill, but there's a lot more running

[foggy bloom]

what regalia would favour my build? (HP/Evasion/ES)

[shadow zephyr]

Global defences/max life/spirit, it looks like.

[foggy bloom]

I played freeze sorc last season (nova + cold snap) and it was ok, but I hate those random moments where a mob sneaks a slam on me and my HP goes to 200HP

[shadow zephyr]

i'm assuming your build relies on the 54 spirit from your chest piece

[foggy bloom]

and that still happening on my mercenary too

[foggy bloom]

I'm just stacking buffs to increase survivability (still testing to find the best combination)

I tried Companion with Loyalty support first, but I hate how the companions instantly rush to a pack of mobs and suicides, can't really get the benefit of using it as a tank to mitigate the damage I receive

[shadow zephyr]

yeah, your physical soak is kinda low and endgame chaos damage spanks, getting that fixed will help that situation a lot.

A giant chunk of solving getting put at 10% health is increasing your max HES, which is another reason the regalia is good, on a good piece you can eke out around another 250-300 ES from it before your global defences on the regalia and your passive EV/ES nodes get ahold of it.

[foggy bloom]

so I ditched the companion HP, defence nodes and the overall companion idea, and I had a ton of Spirit left

[shadow zephyr]

and the global defences will also jack your armour up some (which also isn't a bad base on the regalia)

And of course your evasion.

But in general I do agree, evasion likes to have access to another hard layer of defense. you may want a shield off-hand setup just for when you're running for your life, ev/block is way more reliable than either by itself

[foggy bloom]

I was using these nodes, but now I'm just looking for more ES

[shadow zephyr]

Here's what I'll say- I run a warbringer that has 90%/40K+ armour during fights and 75% all resistances. When I run with my guild, I charge in and tank the mobs, they sit back and throw spears/minions.

I have ~3K HES, and Jade for 1200 guard every few seconds.
I can tank consecutive hits at endgame. My 8K+ ES guildmates with 25% armour and maxed resists cannot. 😄

either your resists/defences need to be maxed or your HES needs to be way higher.

Or... neither. Run your kiting game and be real tight with it, accept that you're gonna have to hold your breath sometimes, though 😉

[median wharf]

Pob?

[lime flame]

Does anyone know if considered casting boosts the damage boost from snipers mark

the considered casting support gem

it can be slotted in snipers mark so i was wondering if it boosts the damage or does it just decrease the cast speed only

[median wharf]

Supports Spell Skills that Hit Enemies

[static torrent]

It would decrease the Cast Speed only, Sniper's Mark doesn't do damage directly

[lime flame]

Alright thanks

[merry venture]

Is there any website where i can theory build?

Or plan a build

[glass needle]

Hello, it’s my first time playing POE.

I created a Ranger
Trying to follow the Lightning Arrow build.
But i dont recognize the bonus
Does the build nerf from dawn of the hunt ?

[gray patrol]

What build are you following and what bonus are you not recognizing?

[glass needle]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/lightning-arrow-deadeye

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/twink-lightning-arrow-deadeye-leveling-guide

The leveling one

[gray patrol]

That’s def a 0.1 build

[glass needle]

What does that mean ?

[gray patrol]

It means that a lot of stuff got changed, removed, or added since then

The current patch is 0.2.1

[glass needle]

Where can i fin a leveling one for lightning arrow ?

[gray patrol]

For instance, the skill Grim Feast is no longer in the game

Lemme see

[glass needle]

That why

[gray patrol]

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/fubgun-deadeye-leveling

@glass needle fubgun is a very reliable creator

[glass needle]

Oh thanks

I will check and follow it

Will really help

[gray patrol]

I have a friend that followed this for their first time and it went really well for them

[glass needle]

Ok thx you

Will read and try it

🙏👌

[chilly swan]

I took Catalysis, which converts 5% of phys damage taken to a random element. Does that mean if I wear one of each resistance charm that one of the charms will activate every time I'm hit by phys?

Same question goes for Smith of Kitava; if I take 25% of phys as fire damage, will that trigger my fire res charms?

[gray patrol]

Yes, I don’t personally know about the smith interaction but I imagine also yes

[chilly swan]

That's super interesting O_O

[chilly swan]

Do you happen to know if Guard stacks up? Or if it is applied prior to the damage of the hit or after?

[gray patrol]

I haven’t used anything with guard unfortunately

[shadow zephyr]

i've actually got it saved somewhere, I was at physical therapy w/my aunt, gimme a sec.

[gray patrol]

The reason I know this is there’s tech to use catalysis with the lightning res charm that gives a frenzy charge when it procs to give you a charge 1/3 of the times you get hit with phys damage

[shadow zephyr]

It's definitely not super meta op build or anything, but the survival rate is pretty good and it clears out bosses. 😄 the only survival problem I have is a hardware limitation that causes monsters/volatiles to render after they've been chasing me for a bit

[chilly swan]

Interesting. If the guard is applied prior to the hit, you could actually get pretty tanky by taking it. Especially if you get the nodes that trigger your other charms without consuming charges... You could basically just constantly be building up guard when you're hit by any phys.

Not to mention, the res is applied prior to the hit, which would mean you don't need to hit res cap on gear.

[shadow zephyr]

https://poe2db.tw/pob/RdyHnrsPbu @median wharf haven't updated it since level 88, my jewellery and my regalia could all use some multi-div upgrades but this is more or less set... Also, I dunno why none of the outputs mention this, but the block chance is maxed at 75, obviously (no other reason to turtle charm/lay siege/offensive stance)

[chilly swan]

With Ritualist you could even get to 5 charms O_O

[gray patrol]

If it works that way, maybe

[heady mantle]

What if u have a headhunter with 5 charm slot

[chilly swan]

I haven't seen headhunter yet, but, in theory, you'd have 7 charm slots.

[pearl sluice]

has anyone gotten a palm of the dreamer yet. How is it if you have?

[median wharf]

That shit is op man, have u never gotten a chaos shrine?

[pearl sluice]

I have, just wanted to see if anyone had one and how it feels compared to sacred flame.

I have been trying to make chaos melee builds for months. That scepter would be mad fun for some of my builds

[median wharf]

Its less damage than sacred flame, u can pob it, but that enables shit builds

[pearl sluice]

Yeah

Just wanted to see if anyone had it

[median wharf]

Exactly, my warrior goes crazy with a chaos shrine

[pearl sluice]

Yup

I have a mace monk that is very fun

[median wharf]

Im coping with the lightning guiding palm rn

[pearl sluice]

The new chaos runes are legit insane

[frosty arrow]

So I'm playing galvanic shard Merc as I go through campaign as my league opener, planning to branch into plasma blast for bosses. Is there a reason why tactician shouldn't work? I thought pin would be nice to throw in there. I know witch hunter or gemling will naturally synergize, but I'm trying to do something I've not played in the last league

[bright quiver]

are there any good or at least decent builds that use sorcerer ascendancies? (Excluding LS)

[bright haven]

I'm tryna make elemental sundering work 😦 anybody got any ideas on how to get enemies to be shocked, frozen and ignited consistently at the same time?

[median wharf]

painters and trinity isnt enough?

[bright haven]

[slate sky]

i tried with the helmet that ignites enemies in area and the shocked ground boots but didn’t help much

[bright haven]

Yeah.. I guess this skill is just meant to be a secondary skill

[rare isle]

hello guys, wanted to league start with arc. Does anybody have any good recommendation in terms of PoB or something? I do not care about the biggest boss dps or sth

[bright haven]

Do you just wanna get through the game as in (kill the major bosses) and be done with that character? Arc is a bit rough right now

[cobalt stag]

Hello 🙂
I want to start the "new" league now and i like the concept of the warrior smith. However i saw that some things are nerfed by now. Can anybody give me recomandations which build is good for mapping and decent for bossing? Greetings Peff

[static torrent]

There haven't been any nerfs post 0.2.0 outside of some bug fixes that made some builds slightly less broken, so if something was functional at the start of 0.2 it should be fine now, as well.

[median wharf]

ls builds are pretty easy, if u want a harder life go smith

[edgy ore]

I am trying to do something really strange with the new murkshaft quiver but I don't quite understand how some spell/attack interactions work so my question for the knowledgable people is what can I do to increase the damage of plague bearer

For example, I know it does physical damage and I know that I can increase it's level with physical mastery as well as chaos mastery, this will increase its damage, that far i've made it, but can I for example cast it with a wand that has + to chaos skill level? but when I look on craftofexile it shows "chaos spell skill" and not "chaos skill" so maybe it only works with spells and plague bearer from my understanding is not a spell?

[wraith palm]

Doesn’t work since it isn’t a spell

[edgy ore]

Ok but does attack damage increase its damage done?

For example the murkshaft quiver doesn't count as a melee skill for +1 melee skill lvl, but putting melee damage on passive tree does increase its damage

[wraith palm]

It’s not an attack either so no

Physical damage, chaos damage, poison duration + magnitude, etc

[humble wave]

What's the difference between ''Maximum Lightning Damage" and ''increased lightning damage'' ? Does "Maximum" only increase the number on the right? So if it's X-Y damage, only Y gets increased?

[idle goblet]

Yup

[humble wave]

Any particular reason why people put 'Wild Storm' ( +15% max lightning damage ) on their amulets instead of Pure Power ( +2% lightning damage per 10 INT ) on Lightning Mercs then?

Mercs usually go DEX/INT apart from the minimum STR needed for crossbow/skills

so I don't see why you'd want Wild Storm over that as your amulet passive

it would only take like 50 INT to beat Wild Storm's dmg increase

[gleaming kite]

expense is probably a factor

15% max lightning damage is not just a damage increase like increased % lightning damage. all of your lightning rolls for damage can roll 15% higher

[pliant edge]

It’s not worth going for pure power unless you stack int, preferably with Astramentis and howa

[simple orchid]

Probably been asked before but Righouts Fire?

[woven depot]

what about righteous fire

it’s a solid and semi-popular league starter this time around, usually paired with chieftain

RF elementalist was popular in the past, and there’s versions opting for inquisitor as well, but they’re generally more expensive to build

ah this is poe 2

My badge

[frosty arrow]

is there exact number how much resistances as a base enemies get in cruel and post campaign? I want to grab some penetration nodes, but I don't want to overdo it since pen won't turn resistances negative if you have too much

also, arc lightning counts as a hit every time it jumps to a new target. Correct?

[austere reef]

with chaos innoculation, are you considered low life, full life, both? neither?

[cedar aspen]

I believe full life, your maximum life is reduced to 1, therefore you’re always at full life, correct me if I’m wrong

[modest crypt]

does tear work with herald of blood?

and I dont mean as a support I mean using it on another ability

[gleaming kite]

i dont think it can cause it to proc twice as it doesnt show up as an on-kill effect in the gem tooltip

i think its more for stuff like recover x% life on kill

it also consumes the corpses so if it could proc twice i think you'd need something to prevent the corpse consumption

[rain pendant]

In endgame, I'm noticing that making my next gear upgrades is going to cost way more Div than I make in weeks (or more). But some of my existing gear is price-checking at multiple Div in value. Is it advisable to sell worn gear with the hope of buying something better with the currency gained from the sale, added with existing currency? That seems risky to me, but I'm wondering if that's the way to advance at this point.

[gleaming kite]

i dont think so

[keen tartan]

Anyone know if ignite spreading with Cracklecreep generates extra energy for Cast on Ignite?

[gilded rover]

[frosty arrow]

What you're wearing now can still earn you currency and loot. What if you strip your best stuff, sell, and then get in a situation where you can't replace it

[idle goblet]

Not sure, it does work with similar effects on shock like Coursing Current Support Gem.

"Support any skill that Hits enemies, giving it a chance to also Shck enemies in a 2.5 meters radius" this seems to be considered still a "shock on hit"

[jovial patio]

Hi guys, this is my build - https://poe2.ninja/profile/Anarok-_-X-1238/character/GreatSageVibes
I have 64k dps in lightining spear. But its still now one shotting bosses. What am i doing wrong?

Hey Exiles. Question... as a shadow using Exsanguinate, what do I want to spec into the skill tree? Health? Because Exsanguinate uses health instead of mana? Crit hit?

[austere reef]

Lightning spear is a clearing ability, it won’t be able to one shot bosses, unless you’re saying your Wind Serpents Fury isn’t one shotting bosses

[jovial patio]

Thats correct. Wind serpent is not one shotting. LS damage was just a reference point

[austere reef]

Alright so I’m not gonna be a ton of help as i haven’t used deadeye wind serpents fury this league but your tangletongue could use a Ticaba soul core. Also I’m 99% sure you’re doing this but you have to be at maximum frenzy charges and if the boss is near a wall where the serpent explodes it will add a ton of dmg. That’s about as much as I know about it but your gear and gems all look completely fine. The only thing I’m unsure about is twofold on WSF as it’s only a 20% chance and it also doesn’t stack with thrilling chase. So slotting in a different dmg gem would greatly benefit you there. Maybe swapping in primal armament for bosses

I'm growing tired of end game and want to try a build archetype I've never used before.

I've never used a wand..... any leveling guides for a spell caster that can carry me into end game? Lich maybe? Blood mage?

Pick an element and cook, if u fk up then find a guide

@sleek crypt check out this one trick man

[sleek crypt]

helpful discord hiding the messages, makes it so easy to ban them

[slate cave]

can lightning spear inflict frozen and shock if it has elemental focus support and herald of ice have 100% increased shock chance and there's cold dmg crit chance and crit damage on herald of thunder

will test asap but enlighten me with the nitty gritty details on this...

it looks like it does not apply shock and frozen sadly i thought it was heralds applying the ailments but i am obviously wrong ? it's the heralds who affect the dmging skill to apply the ailments ?

[median wharf]

U seem to be a bit confused

Herald of ice cant freeze but can shock, herald of thunder cant shock but can freeze

And yes you do insert support gems accordingly

But in order for it to do what you want it to do, you need to either have enough damage or freeze build up

[silent radish]

Hello i just finished the camping before i start maps i feel like im a little bit weak i need a better gear where can i get good gear ? / also im lvl 67 rn does lvl matters ?

[slate cave]

I can get about 8k-ish cold dmg with lightning spear in advanced info thats not applying the 35 extra from ice bite... but it's the herald cold and lightning dmg i need to take in the calculation. Yes i am because elemental focus says it can't apply ailments but thats for the lightning spear and not the heralds?

[median wharf]

If you have ele focus in lightning spear, than it will never freeze with lightning spear. So ice bite is a bad choice in lightning spear

Also ele focus is rly bad in lightning spear

[slate cave]

It buffs the sheet dmg by about 10 k that doesnt look bad to me

So why is it bad

Do u need shock for volt?

[median wharf]

What are u using to shock if not ls?

[slate cave]

the herald ?

[slate cave]

you can use the currency u dropped in maps to get a bit of gear from the trade website poe 2 trade be sure to filter on level so your level in max level on the filter so your sure u can equip it

u can get some gear for one exalt if u lack damage get a good weapon if u get killed a lot fix your resists evasion armour or shield = energy shield

[knotty zinc]

“ ivory scales multiplicative with increased life and increased ES ghostwrith scales additive” is this claim correct ? cuz by how I’m understanding the math they work practically the same in terms of es gain

[median wharf]

Well what are u doing to start off the chain

[slate cave]

i don't know how it works that's why i am asking

xD

so ls needs to either shock or freeze in the first place

oh yes ofcourse when it kills a shocked or frozen enemy they pop the chain

[median wharf]

Thats y im telling you, u have nothing that starts the chain

And ele focus is bad on ls

[slate cave]

yes now i see that's what i was saying it doesn't shock and freeze with ele focus but i thought the herald buff could shock and freeze in the first place that's why it looked like a good idea

aight thx for the elaborations i'm getting something to eat bb

How important is resistance penetration in this game? Like is 30% enough or do i need to fully penetrate it to do actual damage?

[gusty lantern]

where should i be asking how to level up my atlas, specifically my breach tree?

[merry venture]

#2┃after-acts-help

[static torrent]

Depends on the enemy. In general, resistances on enemies work the same way they do on the player, so an enemy with 75% resistance will take 25% damage of that element. However, most enemies don't have all resistances, and even some bosses only have one or two types of resistance, or only at relatively low values like 30%.

[late kiln]

Should i use Farrul's rune of the Hunt or Greater iron rune on my 2h mace?

[cobalt stag]

Hello 🙂
I am hoping for an advice! I played Witchhunter with X-bow and followed an build by Woolie on mobalytics. There i am playing Galvanic shards and shockburst rounds(full lightning dmg). I dont like this build, because i dont have DMG or that i feel "tanky". So do you have other recommendations as Witchhunter, or should i just do a new Char?

[median wharf]

Funny enough thats the problem with most builds, glass cannon or not enough damage

There are things u can change to build for better “tank” and damage

Its important to understand what makes u tanky or do more damage or you will have the same problem with every build

[slate cave]

euhm the internet and chat gpt is confusing me is there a stygian vise in poe 2 i can't seem to find anything in poe2 trade

i think chat gpt is confusing poe 2 and 1

yes fixing my build with chat gpt he's funny

[static torrent]

If you want accurate information on the game, I would not recommend asking Chat GPT about it

[cobalt stag]

okay you are totally right. I played smith before that and i think he is indeed very tanky and has good dmg. but it feels clunky. However some builds are in some ways better.
i´m no poe1 origin player. Poe2 is my 1st in this genre and i dont get all deep in the theory crafting so i have to follow the guides or i´m just useless.
Do you or others have good recommendations about good builds/guides i can follow?

Is attribute stacker still good or not anymore?

[median wharf]

I dont follow any guides so its tough to suggest one for you. I do think 90% of the guides out there for poe2 is terrible tho

I dont think attribute stacking is as good this time around

I played a es witch hunter last league that i felt was decent. Looking at nodes in the monk/sorc area for lightning and energy shield with ci

[cobalt stag]

yeah okay. But if i´m looking in the web for builds all i see is amazon with lightning spear or any ohter build with that combined the mount.
I have the feeling nothing comes close to this build. The problem is im late to this league, the prices to get to this builds are very high. Any other recommandations?

[median wharf]

My advice is to test with whatever you got. The goal is always to make things work on a budget

I was able to find an image for my planner last league

This is with all es gear and howa gloves

U can also go crit, i believe thats more damage

[cobalt stag]

so on what things do you orientate when you test this?
I look at dps from the gems. But some say that they are not accurate.

[median wharf]

Path of building is a good test tool, u need a masters degree to rly use it well

[static torrent]

Ingame tooltips don't factor in conditionals and debuffs that you can apply to the enemy, among other things. They're usually not strictly inaccurate, just not reflective of the full set of factors that determine your final damage.

[vagrant nacelle]

guys i´ve made a mage blood character but the build is just not fun for me
any suggestions what i could turn that character into instead?

[median wharf]

U should try smith of kitava

[cedar aspen]

I think with blood mage you can play around with lots of variety with the Crit ascendancy nodes. I believe I’ve seen a build that plays around with Fire Spells using blood mage, another using spears.

Sorry to ask here as I feel I’m asking too many questions in Church of Chayula 😅:

Mantra of destruction: does it only empower the first attack or the skill of subsequent attacks? I’m assuming just one hit is empowered, so abilities like Flicker strike won’t be empowered the whole time will they?

Hand of Chayula: is there a way to reduce the Curse Magnitude Reduction on the skill, so that the negative effects aren’t as bad?

[vagrant nacelle]

what skills are you using in this build? like is it melee or ranged

and arent you the guy that told me to switch to deadeye for my lightning spear build?

[median wharf]

👀maybe

[vagrant nacelle]

hahah

was good advice

i do waaay more damage as you said i would

[median wharf]

Melee, its just kinda opposite of bloodmage

[vagrant nacelle]

but smith of kitava is not build around mage right?

[median wharf]

Nah, unless u mean changing build staying the same character, then i misunderstood ya

U using serpent right?

atleast i havent found any

wait

[vagrant nacelle]

[median wharf]

I mean not much else there is

U can definitely get higher crit damage

[vagrant nacelle]

Here

if i brick them i´ll go broke buying new ones

[median wharf]

Get ones with crit damage mod

[vagrant nacelle]

i´ll search

is there a calculation anywhere on how much your damage gets boosted by each frenzy charge

[median wharf]

Prob mess around in pob

[slate cave]

can u catalyst a call of the brother hood ring somehow to increase either lightning or cold damage modifier pob doesn't seem to calculate any difference either with tul catalyst or the lighting ones esh catalyst

same for attack turbulence catalyst

haha gemini says the cold ones should effect my cold damage stats... any confirmation?! i'm kinda broke to play test this for the possible gamble of no return in value

[vagrant nacelle]

i bought HoWa with +1 frenzy charges

[median wharf]

isnt that a damage loss?

[vagrant nacelle]

i lose a bit of damage for my lightning spear but also gain some for my wind serpent

no idea how that works but it works

[median wharf]

i mean alright, more frenzy charge is gonna be better for serpent

[vagrant nacelle]

it´s just around around 2k damage that i lose on Ls so its not a big deal

[vagrant nacelle]

makes sense yeah

[slate cave]

Play tested it nothing seems to affect my dmg nor reaver esh or tul

So the conversion stays unaffected according to sheet dmg and advanced info

[slate cave]

euhm can tangletongue have more then two sockets ?

U using sunder to map and boss?

[noble token]

yeah

only other good clear setup is leap slam boneshatter and i dont want to do that

and for bosses obviously most of the damage is hotg but crit armor break sunder would go hard

[median wharf]

yeah i recommend keeping resolute tech if u are gonna map with it

[noble token]

if i had any hit chance

[median wharf]

u can set up totems to help with single target damage in wep 2

but its expensive

[noble token]

im ssf and havent seen a single +7 mace in probably over 200 hours in 0.2

and levels are huge damage for totems afaik

but i could do armor break totems and self cast sunder

[median wharf]

what about running a shock set up on wep 2?

[noble token]

what would i shock with?

[median wharf]

a bow is easier imo

[noble token]

i have some flat lightning on my weapon lol

[median wharf]

use stormcaller

[noble token]

nah no way i have the dex for a bow if i dont have the dex to even hit anything without resolute technique

[median wharf]

u can use stat req to str soulcores

just keep corrupting random bows till u hit 3 socket

you would need a little more dex, but not that much mroe

[noble token]

my hit chance without res technique is 64% at close range

drops my dps by 60%

lmao

this is horseshit

[median wharf]

i mean u dont take off res tech

[noble token]

i just unspecced to see

[median wharf]

y would u need to take that off for shock?

[noble token]

shock is an interesting suggestion

but my point is half of my skill is disabled by resolute technique

[median wharf]

yeah if u use sunder to map, there is 0 reason to take off res tech

even if u need more single target

[noble token]

yeah for mapping i have plenty of damage

but for pinnacles i lack damage

[median wharf]

u can do wep 2 shock mag

if u manage enough dex for lowest level of volt mark, its even higher

[noble token]

nah its cooked

giants blood affects bows too

even with str req soul cores

[median wharf]

did u pob it?

[noble token]

no just off the top of my head i dont see it

i could convert 60% of req to str

a high lave bow is 212 dex x 3

636x0.4 is like almost 300 dex

even with 35% reduced reqhirements mod on the bow it would be like 200

and if i had that much dex i wouldnt need resolute technique

so theres no way

[median wharf]

🤔

u can scale bleed i guess

but still needs wep set 2 maces

[slate cave]

sorry to interrupt but euhm if u redo trial. the basic one does it reset the 8 skills unlock by max one. i just need to change the ascendacy or do i need to do the max one for all 8 points

[noble token]

if you have 4th asc, you need to do the full 4th to respec

[slate cave]

but u can respec at Doryani but i want to change ascendancy

[noble token]

yeah ik

respec as in change your class

you need the max one

but dont respec at doryani

[slate cave]

hm lame ok thx not the answer i wanted but it'll be like that 🙂

[noble token]

respec at the end of whatever trial you run

balbala and trialmaster let you respec as well

[magic marlin]

I also respec before later trials in some cases just to make completion easier. Then go back later

[frosty arrow]

does avatar of fire allows for double scaling, or not? I can't figure it out. Let's say I have a skill that converts 50% of physical damage to fire. If I pick a +phys damage node, and +fire damage node will it first apply physical, and then after the conversion fire bonus on top?

or does it just convert all initial sources of damage to fire, making scaling from anything else null and void?

[wraith palm]

hey guys i made a hand of chayula build that works real good, wanted to see if there is anything else i can do to squeeze some more damage out of it if anyone's interested to take a peek at poe2 ninja or pob?

[median wharf]

Sure post it

[wraith palm]

ninja: https://poe2.ninja/profile/journeymanbater-5270/character/Squishhhhh

grab the pob out of ther if you want haha i cant get it to just paste as a text.

Context is i made it beat t4 simulacrum, but looking to min max is all. just wanna see what's left or if there's other ideas i havent tried yet

adn i guess the marks blow up oh hand of chayula if you one shot with it, that's what i built around for the most part

[median wharf]

Im surprised u didnt try some herald tech to push trinity that way

[wraith palm]

doin the mark chain thing with hot and coc volt mark

i did try throwing in fire spells in coc as well but just slowed down the chain too mucgh

[median wharf]

Im guessing u lacking single target damage?

[wraith palm]

well the goal was t4 simus haha. not necessarily single target

the mark chains and a decent boom from frozen locus is enough for the mini bosses in there

[median wharf]

Ever considered painters?

[wraith palm]

the only build ive seen where you dont wanna hit the big guy

howa was better unfortunately haha

[median wharf]

And jack of all trades is better than pure power here?

[wraith palm]

yeah

not trolling or bein a smart ass, but is pure power ever better than jack for attack based builds? with an astra ofc

[median wharf]

Yeah it can, not on pc, will fk around with it tmr on pob

[wraith palm]

eh dont waste a bunch of time on it unless you're interested haha. like i said i beat t4 with it

literally levelling a deadeye rn for two marks on hoc haha see fi that's any better. will probably need to go trampletoe though with that if i want trinity

[median wharf]

Pretty much just curious with unarmed attacks, since everyone shits on it rn

Does have clear weaknesses for sure. But interesting nonetheless

[wraith palm]

i think its kinda deserved tbh lol. i think hoc is definitely the best for clear, nice mark pops IF you cant get hand of chayula to one shot. getting there is the challenge since it scales like shit on levels

[median wharf]

Have u tried more lightning focused before doing this elemental thing?

[wraith palm]

hence crit with ambush lol

[wraith palm]

what do you mean?

[median wharf]

Like before trinity

Fking around with shock/shock mag/lightning pen

[wraith palm]

im shocking fine, pen is why i went voker, and i really think shock mag is bait as it sits now. the only bit of that id consider taking is the frazzled spot, but that goes against the need for hand of chayula to one shot full life mobs

hoc needs to hit to apply the shock, so i need to hit a monster twice to get the kill, and that kinda kills ambush with crit being so strong rn if that makes sense

i will say that i do have freezing mark in hoc rn instead of volt mark. freezing has more crit chance that volt and guarantees that to crit everything with ambush as well

ninja wouldnt refresh haha.

[median wharf]

Just wondering if wep set 2 or 2 hoc would work

Feels like a waste to not utilize wep 2 with that

[wraith palm]

what would you do for that?

i will say a second weapon is something i didn't p[lay with

well i guess i could get curse mag stuff

[median wharf]

Yeah curse or shock mag would be cool

Assuming ur problem now is single target

[wraith palm]

not really like i was sayin, i didn't think this was gonna do pinacle bosses haha. just wanted enough to get t4 simu done. group them up and get the mark chain going kills the mini bosses in simu

[median wharf]

Didnt u say u did that already

[wraith palm]

yeah i got t4 done, just wanted a quick eye to see if there's other things to squeeze out. i think the hoc one shot + mark pop is a nifty interaction is all

hence levelling the deadeye lol.

does shock mag snapshot on weapon swap?

gathering storm would be cool on a weapon swap for that in my temp chains battle arena. get shock mag and skill effect duration on for both of those

also for all exiles struggling with simu cursed ground temp chains is awesome haha

imma try that out though thanks big dawg. weapon swap big shock mag gathering storm fighting arena. i can get rid of stormwave for that, had stormwave to more easliy pop the locus if nothing was gonna go after it

haha this will be better already. good tips. gl

u can benefit a lot from looking up poe2.ninja for a tree

[wraith palm]

Probably not gonna stay with the weapon swap since I can’t afford jewels with the speed but still good idea. I’ll probably end up keeping gathering Storm anyways for the perfection buff

[stark kestrel]

Out of curiosity, why did you go with hand of chayula over shattering palm?

[wraith palm]

Cause it’s cooler. The socketed mark blows up if you one shot with hand of chayula

[wraith palm]

.

[rich depot]

Am i right in thinking i should have one more point to allocate in each weapon set?

[robust solar]

Pull 1 non weapon set point out and you can spend those

[rich depot]

I tried that, then it wont let me put the normal point back in

it takes the poitn away from a weapon swap point

in blight build with low life, is there a conversion that converts health to ward or something like this?

strugglign to find the low life node in my passive

aware of chaos innoculation

[solemn kettle]

is conversion the last in the chain of damage calcs?
Specifically I'm wondering if taking things like Wild Storm for 15% more max lightning damage is worthwhile when doing a 100% Lightning>Chaos conversion

[gleaming kite]

not the last, sort of in the middle

"Damage conversion is calculated after combining any sources of additional damage to base damage, but before any damage modifiers (e.g. increased or more damage). "

[gleaming kite]

Wild Storm specifically seems to fall under regular conversion rules:

How exactly can I understand the last line? Do I get frozen when I get hit or do I freeze enemies when I hit them?

[next moat]

The latter. When you get hit, you trigger the freeze check against the enemy, using 10% of your max mana as the damage roll. Note though, you don't actually deal the damage, you simply get the debuff opportunity.

So a perfect warlord spectre will give endurance charges apparently. Does this have good uptime or does he just do it sometimes?

[north frost]

Hey guys what essential skills should I have as a deadeye lightning arrow build?

[craggy tiger]

Morning, I am REALLY struggling. Which is "better" using shield charge/wall for poison damage with the unique gloves and stack extra damage as, such as a wand or going bleed? I was able to use the duo companiosn with lightning storms to complete the campaign. They do a lot of damage, but clear is bad, tanking is bad. So i need to redo my whole tree, as companions are not supported yet. Thanks
I am a gemmling. so bleed is easy to get on tree, so is poison

[woven depot]

I played poison shield charge from the start in dawn of the hunt, very strong and let me clear all pinnacles

But I’m unsure what you are actually building around

You said extra damage wand which makes me think you are also using plague bearer

[craggy tiger]

yes i have those gloves. IDK what i am building around, i wanted to do the duo lightning storm companions, and just slowly walk aroudn with the unique exposure shield. it works well. but not enough. I am not a "zoomy" person. Fast hurts my head. So i just want to walk around dropping shield walls and clearing the mobs/bosses. speed is not an issue.

[woven depot]

I meant the spirit gem plague bearer which stores poison damage into a big explosion around you, if you want to play around the shield abilities you’re gonna need a shield with big armour stat on it, focus on hit damage etc, especially if you want to use damaging ailments since they scale from the hit causing them

[craggy tiger]

I just do not know what would be better/easier to gear etc, bleed or poison, does it make a difference? should i put corrosion on shield wall to make shield charge hit harder, since gemmling, put it on both? can you point me to a guide that is not 1000 div?

[woven depot]

There is way better support in items, socketables and in the passive tree for poison

can see if I can find a guide that looks solid

I just focused on making shield charge hit as hard as possible, which is pretty simple to do with skill levels, big armour shield and deepest tower unique helm

can’t really find a guide, this is what I did for my titan shield charge https://poe2.ninja/builds/dawn/character/Kidh-3088/Shieldchargehero?i=0&search=name%3DShieldcharge

[craggy tiger]

idk why, but my shield charge has a tendancy to miss a lot of things, flying creature, creatures coming out of teh water, lag, idk.....so backing it up with shield wall too.

[woven depot]

I’d consider resonating shield over shield wall tbh

fwiw that character will forever be unfinished, I’m playing poe 1 now and won’t work on that build until next league again

[craggy tiger]

it is a start, thank you so very much! i have to save up so much gold to respec away from companions

I am in standard. so i have time. nothing in teh leagues is that appealing to me, poe1 is great. I do not have this much problem there. have a build that goes form act 1 to red maps on 1 skill..poe2 is not doing that for me

[woven depot]

best of luck, tbh my build ended up not using shield charge that often in maps, it’s currently abusing the fact that poison from overkill effects (trampletoe unique boots) contribute to plague bearer build up so most of the time im just running around pressing plague nova

[craggy tiger]

gotcha

[woven depot]

and because of how insanely strong extra damage effects are with overkill effects you can just equip a wand (with extra damage as X effects) or unique sceptre instead of mace when you want to do simulacrum (or any content where you don’t need single target damage)

but for bossing you can reach ~40M per shield charge with poison included

A strife pick with +5 levels to melee skill will significantly boost your shield charge damage, but neboluch adds a lot better consistent hit damage since shield charges base crit is only 5% making it very hard to scale up

[craggy tiger]

that is a lot of damage. i am just trying to find something fun to play through the campaign and then into early mapping. this seems like a good start. Maybe start as bleed and transition to poison when making new toons, but since this one is leveled. will get the gold to respec. Thank you so much for the info and guidance

[woven depot]

honestly I wouldn’t play this before you can equip deepest tower, there’s so much damage in that helmet from synergies it’s stupid

[craggy tiger]

well i need to play something. The double companions, although doing a lot of damage. my own tankiness is left to be desired. and teh damage is not that great. especially on campaign bosses. so i need something else. I like the defensive/offense of shield wall. i know it is not meta, but it has to be good enough with its aoe to least get through campaign and early maps

[digital mason]

Is there a way I can get summonings without having a scepter?

[static torrent]

Minions aren't restricted to Sceptres, all you need is enough Spirit to summon them. You can find a list of Minions by going to the Gemcutting window, All Gems, and then just searching for Minion.
You get Spirit as part of optional boss rewards throughout the campaign, one from Freythorn, Azak Bog and then the Cruel version of Azak Bog. You can also get Spirit from some ascendancies, and equipment, with Body Armours and Amulets being able to roll Spirit, as well as some Uniques granting Spirit.

Haven't played it myself but this looks good:

[cyan zodiac]

anyone here using life remenant? i cant add a gem socket and i cant increase skill quality

most build guides show 3 socket life remnants and i cant add teh socket at all

[static torrent]

It's a skill granted by your ascendancy, you cannot add sockets or quality to it in the same way you would to a gem. It gains extra sockets as you level up, reaching a total of 5 sockets at level 90.

[cyan zodiac]

ahhhhhhhh

and i cant add quality to it?

oh sorry i cant read

you cannot add sockets or quality to it

Legend thx b appreciate it

[mortal pollen]

path of building is huge in terms of understanding builds and such. if you hover over the leagues, and just pick one say deadeye from hcssf for example, it will give yuou a heatmap of passives that all top builds are using. red means everyone is using it, blue means less, maybe even one person in top 100 or whatever it is is using. on left side will be where all the skills are at. you can add any variety of skills to see which ones synergize together and what top players are using in terms of supports and damage skills.

Hi, thanks for help. How's chronomancer feel compared to stormweaver in normal? i had to quit for health reasons a couple days into the original release and just got round to getting back into it. I can respec my passives and saw that people can respec from chronomancer.

Probably aiming for something balanced, not just dpsy and probably budget friendly since essentially a late league starter. Level 35ish. Considering what i could respec to either for chrono or stormweaver
Micro intensive is more of a plus than a minus but either is fine.., just preferably less oneshots

[wraith palm]

If you one shot enemies with hand of chayula and have a mark socketed in it, the mark auto blows up. Easy t15 map clears with the hot cof volt mark combo and mana remnants

[real fjord]

Anyone know of some good builds with this newly buffed bow? And I think my corruption worked pretty darn well 🙂

[worthy sun]

Regarding damage conversion, I understand that it's a two step process in which step 1 involves any conversion inherent to the skill. Does that include support gems? Or are they always step 2?

[gleaming kite]

I think step 2

But it may depend on what they are doing

The infusions cause damage gain which a different type of conversion

[worthy sun]

I'm just still a little confused about conversion and gain in PoE2. Some guides say that gain is always step 2, but when I have a pure physical base and I shoot a cold infused twister while wearing painter's gloves, I see mobs get shocked and ignited. This says to me that the gain there is step 1. For example:

[next moat]

Talking out loud here. The cold infused twister you fire will acquire the 50% damage gained as cold when it hits the elemental group. This becomes a property of the skill effect. Then, when it strikes an enemy, the 50% cold damage would trigger the "Gain X% of elemental damage as extra Cold/Fire/Lightning". This alone could proc ailments for every elemental type if the hit is large enough.

I'm less sure how this plays with the damage conversion on the gloves though. My intuition would be that it effectively doesn't happen, but I might be wrong.

[next moat]

An important calibrating question here would be to ensure you don't have a source of flat elemental damaging coming from something like gloves or rings. That would ruin my hypothesis.

[worthy sun]

I've checked it many times, no ele dmg. PoB calculates the twister as pure cold. In game, it's shocking and igniting.

[next moat]

Fascinating! Willing to share your PoB?

[wild whale]

yall is infernalist cooked

😭😭😭

I had that comet build

[magic marlin]

Infernalist needs an investment to be a caster. Minions still work fine. If you are already an Infernalist you can respec your ascendancy. Lich and Bloodmage have some interesting builds. I love the Chaos Lich, but it isn't all that exciting. 😄

As to Hexblast, yes, if the Boss is stationary, it works like always, but mobile bosses? Totally useless.

Hi everyone, anyone have any good pathfinder poison builds? Leveled one up but I seem to be doing something, wrong my damage is bottlenecking. I also read that chaos damage doesn’t apply only chaos damage that happens on attack hit?

[woven depot]

Poison is 30% of the hit damage that inflicts it, as long as that hit is physical/chaos damage (unless plaguefingers unique cause then elemental attacks will also count), but you can’t scale the poison directly without damaging ailment modifiers like magnitude and duration etc

for a PF build you’re mainly looking to utilise their ability to stack poisons higher than any other ascendancy, you want high duration and attack speed to maintain these stacks

and don’t go plagueburst arrow cause that shit is absolute ass

To put in perspective, my mob density fills the screen.

[median wharf]

Yes i play the game lol

[remote narwhal]

No I mean I'm over kill density.

Like screaming computer with no frames density

[median wharf]

[remote narwhal]

Ls isn't what I want anymore my question was more than just ls

[median wharf]

That is where my frames are (little bit worse)

Ls isn't going to work with that frame rate.

[median wharf]

Lol u playing on a ps2 or some shit?

[remote narwhal]

PS5 but it still lags like that shit there

[median wharf]

Thats more of ur hardware issue, not rly a build issue

[remote narwhal]

My explosive shot titan I'm playing a speed button simulator just to survive that shit XD

But x5 that screen and that's my density.

[median wharf]

U should trade ur gear for a pc

Then have fun next league

[remote narwhal]

Never had a like for PC.

But agreed a PC would be better

[glass lintel]

hey can anyone in here confirm if the POE 1 gladiator bleed explosions are an aura in 2?

[jolly jungle]

Is there a pretty high div investment to swap from jungroan’s poison fr build to palsteron’s crit version? I’m running jungroans right now and don’t wanna swap til I get the initial gear. I heard that even at low investment, palsterons is much tanker and higher damage

[static torrent]

You mean Herald of Blood? It's close enough, I suppose.

[glass lintel]

sorry idk the name i just heard that you can make killed enemies explode with bleeds

[static torrent]

Yes, Herald of Blood does that. It causes enemies to explode based on their Blood Loss.

[glass lintel]

ohhh

thanks for telling

can i ask you something else then

is it possible too make an OK mercenary bleed build?

[static torrent]

Should be doable, although the current strongest skills for Bleed are on the Spear.

[glass lintel]

nice

alright thanks

ill go take a look online too see what i can find

[wraith palm]

whats up bois. anyone familiar with gathering storm?

[glass lintel]

can anyone in here pls help me find a good bleed build for mercenary? i cant find anything related too it at all

[median wharf]

Thats a good hint

[glass lintel]

wdym?

[sharp thorn]

Honestly I dunno if merc has that much synnergy for bleed builds. Legionaire is equally good in anything.

Best bleed builds are Amazon and Bloodmage rn.

[sharp thorn]

If you wish to be a merc, then you probably need to figure out everything yourself.

[glass lintel]

umh ok?

can i ask why thats the case?

[median wharf]

U know when people use the phrase “take the hint”

[sharp thorn]

I dunno. I just have a feeling.

I can't explain it before you try to do it.

[sharp thorn]

I can't even reliably tell if it's good or not, since I didn't ever heard anyone trying it.

[gleaming kite]

For merc make a gemling, use rake + stomping ground and scale STR

I took it all the way to 84 and through a couple pinnacles before I got bored
