how do I find the seed of a jewel like this? To figure out what numbers to look for to match

stark kestrel
#

Am I correct in assuming that I can't dual wield chober chaber with a sceptre if I have giants blood? I don't have a warrior to test.

static torrent
#

Giant's Blood makes it so that a two-handed weapon can be equipped in a single hand, so you would be able to wield it with a Sceptre just fine.

#

The only thing you'd need to keep in mind is the tripled attribute requirements.

Can someone help me with minion build fron maxroll? Im in act 3 and doing no damage at all

wraith palm
obtuse valve
#

I want to route to Flicker Strike build, does this staff or this staff be able to do fine dmg with the build?

wraith palm
obtuse valve
#

I even have this but it would be more bonker if I turn on the nodes for staff

#

Sacrifice from upper nodes for crit dmg for crit chance to make it it or maybe sacrifice 1 slot of sup gem to Pinpoint critical, I guess.

#

Cause currently, I'm aiming for using what I have rather than buying for a new staff due to currency shortage

obtuse valve
#

A what?

#

I'm sorry, I'm fresh new to the series

#

Oh, I found one staff with 3% crit

#

amost 4% even

median wharf
# obtuse valve A what?

Its a jewel that allocates notables for you, so u dont gotta waste points to path to the nodes

obtuse valve
#

Ohhhh, like this one

#

Oh, wrong one

#

Megalomaniac

#

But which skill the build usually need when using that jewel?

wraith palm
#

I think the sweetspot for crit damage is 350-400%. One you get there, double check against attack damage nodes. When everything is critting, those attack damage nodes get an “icreases value” of your crit damage bonus and crit damage nodes start to lose to just attack damage / elemental damage etc

#

Even the little 10% ones haha.

obtuse valve
#

hmm 🤔

obtuse valve
#

It doesn't have att speed but the Xesht's gloves or this node can make it up for the lack of att speed

wraith palm
#

Seems to me like that staff will be good to start working with. Attack speed is nice but not necessary with flickerstrike. The hit and run support gem can be nice but your shit out of luck if you have a short flicker and there’s other mobs around. Other stuff to watch out for is flat cold damage if you wanna do the herald of thunder + cast on freeze volt mark combo for clear

#

Or use a different skill for clear or whatever

obtuse valve
#

I was thinking about using Storm wave for clearing

#

I see most people use 3 heralds for the build

#

Or I got it wrong, the Storm wave is for getting charges and main clearing skill is flicker strike

wraith palm
#

Whatever works for clear works haha. Flicker alone won’t do the job though is what I meant

obtuse valve
#

Do you know any guild related to the build, I could have research and find what work for me.

wraith palm
#

There’s probably a bunch out there on yt, poe2 ninja uploads, etc. Cof volt mark + cold herald of thunder works well, particularly for invoker cause the ele damage you get

#

Just gotta keep up with mana, but mana remnants solves that pretty easy

obtuse valve
#

Oh yea, mana remnant is beast

#

also I have like 228 spirits, that would be enough right?

wraith palm
#

Herald of thunder + cof + mana remnants is 120 I think? + whatever else you want

obtuse valve
#

HoT but with Cold Infusion sup gem right?

#

cause I see you suggest cast of freeze

wraith palm
#

Yeah and embitter, glaciation, etc

#

If you get the extra damage as ele cores in your staff embitter is goated on hot haha. Innervate on cof volt mark and ice bite on hot

obtuse valve
#

hmm, as for ascendance nodes, I don't have to get to Avatar, yea?

#

I'm thinking about getting even the extra cold dmg and extra lightning dmg nodes

wraith palm
#

I’d take the extra damage as lightning and cold, the es and evasion to spirit, and meta gain nodes if you have all 8

obtuse valve
#

I got 8

wraith palm
#

Yeah that exactly but take avatar off and take the extra damage as cold

obtuse valve
#

Yep

#

I think I should keep Sunder my enemies

wraith palm
#

That’s ignore res on crit right

obtuse valve
#

Yep

wraith palm
#

Yeah. Idr what everything is called lol sorry

obtuse valve
#

and this one, I think I can just replace with one sup gem from the trigger spell then it's good to go.

#

Impetus

wraith palm
#

Oh yeah I had nodes mixed in my head

obtuse valve
#

I will see what I could do. As for now, gonna do some research about upcoming routing :D

#

Welcome to being addicted to flickerstrike

#

I will return to this chat with my update if I need any help :D

#

Definitely prioritize getting to 100% crit first, use pinpoint crit support get. Should be good to go with whatever else you want to do once there haha.

hey does ignite even scale with minion damage ?

#

like using spirutal aid yk

coarse iron
#

and yeah another question is ignite affected by "+flat damage to spells" i asusme no right

I assume you mean to be asking in the PoE1 channels, there's no Spiritual Aid in PoE2, nor can you find '+X damage to Spells' outside of Flame Wall.

oops

#

does the 19% bonus damage on hits against rares/uniques affect the dps shown on your skills? this is my jewel it shows lower dps than some other stuff i have but im assuming its actually higher damage?

10% increased Damage with Spears
14% increased Critical Damage Bonus with Spears
19% increased Damage with Hits against Rare and Unique Enemies

static torrent
#

Iirc, it wouldn't affect the displayed DPS since it's a conditional property, as the DPS calculation in the Skill screen doesn't evaluate those.

I mean, do what you want. Depending on a pinnacle boss you can make a character that's unkillable, so that you don't need millions of dps.

static torrent
#

Yeah, when it comes to what is required, any damage will eventually kill the boss. When it comes to what might be recommended, you'd probably get different answers.

As if his cast speed isnt 10xed lol

median wharf
sharp thorn
glad moat
#

Yh so its like a soft enrage

#

Ofc u can dodge but overlapping of his stuff should be replaced by more dmg so its harder hitting

median wharf
glad moat
#

Then him casting hands and the ive doll in the same second is a bug

#

Ive not found it a lot cus i kill him after first attack at max , but times ive seen it happen

glad moat
#

Usually after a rotation of his attacks

#

The ice projectiles and the ground hands

#

Literally having to dodge all at same time lul

median wharf
glad moat
#

Its fine i said they shoulf just not overlap imo

#

Also it gets laggy

median wharf
median wharf
#

Ur weakness is that u kill it too fast and never learned the grind

glad moat
#

I jever see any design indicating he randompy overlaps

#

Randomly overlaps his attacks

#

Idk if he should overlap in the first place

median wharf
#

I mean there many games ive played having to dodge multiple atk/mech overlaps

#

Its not that bad

#

U arent used to it, and thats ok

glad moat
#

Again its not clear intended as doesnt always happen

#

Some weird rng stuff

median wharf
#

I can assure u, fight it for 3 mins plus

#

😂

glad moat
#

Oh xd

#

Nah thats way too long

#

Even on kitava i still bonked him under a min

#

Not a fan of 99% defence 1% attack

median wharf
#

Thats ur playstyle, its fine

#

But that play style isnt required

glad moat
#

Yh

#

I agree

#

But long feels dreadful for a ... Bad loot kek

median wharf
#

Breach part of breach stone is profitable enough to run

#

Boss is just whatever, that means a build that doesnt have good singletarget can farm breachstones too

#

Unless u wait till u have enough single target damage or born into currency, theres no reason to skip those till u do

#

And t4 boss is like triple t3 boss’s hp

torn tusk
#

what

#

how do I delete lol

#

wrong one

#

mjolnir earthquake etc. The problem is I easily die on juiced maps. Also bossing damage is not there. I am using the chernobog version and not using giant's blood. Don't need to do Pinnacles with this, just mapping and map bosses

median wharf
#

Trying to build phys max on warrior is incredibly difficult, so u get oneshotted easily in juiced maps

#

Just to give u a comparison, this is what i run, and i still get one shotted in high deli maps

torn tusk
#

Man that's what I was scared of lol

#

even my Kitava dies easily

#

compared to high ES builds

median wharf
#

Warrior just suck in poe2, nothing we can do

torn tusk
#

Like, some juiced maps I can whiz through but, the max hit is just too low

median wharf
#

Still oneshotted in high deli

torn tusk
#

oh damn

#

okay high deli to be fair will one shot even LS builds if you're not careful I guess

#

like 150% ?

median wharf
#

😂not even, i cant even do 60%

torn tusk
#

lol

#

you have life leech, rage etc ?

median wharf
#

under 40 its free for me

median wharf
torn tusk
#

I see

median wharf
#

Tbf i have traded a lot of damage in testing, so that could be a factor

#

With mirror tier gear it should be better

torn tusk
#

I mean, the big boys on poe ninja have grand spectrum which is 25 div each

#

for 18% total more max life

#

or increased max life

#

I can buy that but don't want to rn lol

median wharf
torn tusk
#

less

#

it will be 600-700

median wharf
#

Yeah thats not gonna make a difference from where u are

torn tusk
#

you can basically go from 3k to 4k

#

more or less

median wharf

Yeah 4k is nothing

Question

#

Does tangletounges forked crits effect all forks or no

So u can get a double roll on crits with tangletounge

#

On Spark

sharp thorn
remote narwhal
#

You can take spell blade

#

Melee weapons get spell dmg

sharp thorn
remote narwhal
#

Ik that

#

That's what I was meaning

static torrent
#

That does not mean that all modifiers from the weapon apply to Spells. Tangletongue's Forks Critical Hits specifies 'Attacks with this weapon' in the tooltip.

static torrent
#

And different skills have different behaviours for how they roll for stuff like Critical Hits. If the skill is Sustained, it will roll each time it hits, otherwise it rolls once per skill use.

remote narwhal
#

That woulda been fun tho to use cast on dodge if it did work that way

question, what resistance should i be getting on what armor to max out everything, like should i get 2 different resistances on my rings and amulet , and focus on getting one kind of resistance with chaos resistance on my armor? sorry im kinda new lol

craggy tiger
#

Question, does anyone know, if the sacred flame scepter. Where it says (Allies in your Presence Gain (20–30)% of Damage as Extra Fire Damage) works with a companions lightning storm??? I have a bonkers idea for a build based around that idea. But not sure if it works. Thanks!

#

Or if you have a sceptre in standard i could borrow to test it, that would be great.

craggy tiger
#

Well, since i am not a streamer, and cannot afford to just randomly buy stuff to find out if it works or not. I will just put the idea out here.

Companions - lightning storms - sceptre - infernalist - unique exposure shield - lightning storms get extra damage, and ignite. Just walk around blocking while companions roast the whole screen/mobs.

I have had issues with te hlightning storms not doing a lot of damage against bosses. But the "extra" and the lowest resist, and uptime on an ignite. Might just work. Lightning storms are also capable of hitting enemies behind terrain as well.

Thanks!

So no

sharp thorn
#

My bad.

static torrent
#

As for whether it works, check the Fire Spell on Hit more closely, it specifies Melee Attacks.

#

And if you mean triggering it with Fire Spell on Hit, Flammability should work, it's both a Spell and Fire

reef kelp
#

@static torrent cause my idea is burning inscription

static torrent
#

From my understanding, triggering it with Fire Spell on Hit it should work, but it shouldn't be too difficult to test it out.

fickle orbit
#

I am quite confident in my POB-fu for POE1, but i cant say same for POE2.

Can someone please tell me what kind of dps to aim for when trying to work with POB2, when planning builds? Like, i dont know if 50k dps is enough to kill ubers or barely enough to even finish campaign. What about 150k? 500k? 5mil?

How much EHP should i aim for?

Basically, "If im familiar with POE1 pob, what numbers etc should i be "aiming for" when using POE2 pob?"

#

because i assume its not 1:1 from poe1 to poe2

wraith palm
fickle orbit
#

im trying to get a ballpark estimation to figure out between "Lmao this is quin dps" and "Im going to be oneshotting ubers"

#

so that when im trying to plan a build, i can at least understand if it could work or if its completely raw

#

you can do it with POE1

#

but im not sure how to do it via POE2

median wharf
#

Xesht t4 is 34mil, 500k dps sounds like a decent kill time

#

Ehp wise, its never enough, poe2 has a huge problem with that atm

#

We dont have multiple layers of defense

#

So u try ur best to dodge hard hitting attacks and not get oneshotted by basic attacks

obtuse ruin
#

can I have a quadrilla and a rhoa summoned at the same time as a huntress?

fickle orbit
#

I remember in all the early previews etc of Smith of Kitava, the "body armour" passive had no point cost. It even said on the passive itself "this doesnt cost a point".

but now im in POB2, and there's no such text on the passive. I went to the wiki, and the wiki also doesnt have this on the skill anymore.

I tried checking patch notes etc to see if maybe it was changed, but i can also find nothing relating to it.

Can someone confirm to me please if this passive is still "free" to allocate?

static torrent
#

Not sure what you're checking on the wiki, since

#

But it is free to allocate, that's the whole idea behind it, the passives afterwards are the ones that have a cost.

fickle orbit
#

since poewiki seemed broken

#

fair enough

static torrent
#

That's not technically the wiki, but anyway, here's what it is ingame

fickle orbit
#

I was just confused because i remembered it working like that, but POB confused me

#

Cool. Thanks for confirmation

static torrent
#

From my understanding, PoB2 is quite out of date, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's just missing some details.

fickle orbit
#

Yeah. POB2 is massively behind POB1

#

Partially because its basically a brand new game, and not just a new update, and partially because AFAIK a lot of pob devs just dont care as much about POE2

One of the smoothest experiences I have had in poe 2 and I have played a crazy amount of builds at this point was essence drain/contagion lich. From leveling to pinnacle bosses it was so smooth.

I figured out a way.

But sadly the mana cost is quite a fun one.

My warbringer maybe could pull it off as well

I'm currently running my warbringer on a variation of this. (Similar concept) https://youtu.be/8el2W2NZJ9A?si=5hazEztdLOEREPaV

#

No mjolner tho.

#

It's more getting hit over actually attacking.

#

Problem is it's a huge mana consumption.

remote narwhal
#

But I may try a variation of it with demon form.

#

Using infinite persuit, pragmatic to force stuff like poison on myself to use the antidote charm as a sort of way to get around the mana issues

is there any resource on how much armor monsters have in endgame maps? trying to theory craft on an armor break explosion build and need to know how much they have so that i dont over-invest in increased armor break

gleaming kite
#

I think it would depend on what skills you’re using

#

Something like spearfield wouldn’t need as much because it has so many hits

tulip fog
#

i would be using a single hit to trigger it

#

and have that hit poison the enemy dealing 80% of the damage as armor break damage

#

which then explodes when fully broken

Taking it to make a different type of build with more of a way to keep mana going while staying alive. (Making a no button build)

Can incinerate and other fire spells proc cast on ignite? (I read somewhere that only hits proc cast on ignite... are spells hits? What configures a Hit?)

with the slam part of the skill dealing about 40k

if the enemy gets heavy-stunned by the step part of the skill

#

the only issue being the mana cost of the skill, its freaking bonkers

you want it as a main clear ability?

yes

i wasnt able to get any more aftershock chance unfortunately

support gem for stun and boneshatter?

tulip fog
#

these are the supportgems im using for it

you kinda need a lot of damage supports since the skill doesnt really have good % damage boost from the skill

uncut knot
#

you could use it as a stun setup for boneshatter

tulip fog
#

id rather have it as main clear if possible

#

thats the idea im trying to make real

uncut knot
#

stampede + boneshatter for clear

#

it must absolutely be one button?

tulip fog
#

very very preferrably one button, but another skill is acceptable for rares/bosses

uncut knot
#

stomping ground?

tulip fog
#

hmm, you are right that would make for extra damage

uncut knot
#

I think that attack speed for it is wasted

#

martial tempo for boss killer

tulip fog
#

im at 2.6 attacks per second, i boosted it to reduce the initial time it takes to start moving once you click the skill

#

if you have used the skill you would know it takes almost a full second to start moving once you click the skill

#

if you have no attackspeed

uncut knot
#

Well ideally you just oneshot packs with it so you don't want attack speed?

tulip fog
#

ideally i would oneshot packs yes, but i want to be able to initiate my attack before getting killed before even starting to attack the packs

uncut knot
#

attack speed may not make it faster but skill speed.

#

would skillspeed gem after moving be fun for you?

#

but you won't be just spamming stampede

#

I will google if it works. it didn't for my shield charge

tulip fog
#

hmm, well you could spam stampede to clear the map before going back to loot i guess?

#

stampede takes some time for its animations to play out so the faster it can be done the better imo

uncut knot
#

i think you need second clear button just in case

#

like a boneshatter or something

#

let me google that gem

#

can you tell me if this gem works on it?

#

i think this could easily solve the speed issue

#

then build stomping ground and full damage

#

are you on pc i can test if you want

tulip fog
uncut knot
#

if you want to just use stampede?

#

yea i guess. i wouldnt use just stampede personally. i definitely think you should focus on damage not speed on it

tulip fog
#

do me a favour, go get a copy of stampede yourself, try the skill, observe the long-ass animations and then come back here and tell me it doesnt need speed... please

uncut knot
#

the attack speed is slow but attack speed doesnt affect it i think

#

i think its skill speed that does. atleast that is what it feels like for my shield charge

static torrent
#

Skill Speed is basically just spell+attack speed in one stat, if Skill Speed affects it Attack Speed should as well, unless it's a skill with a 'Use Time' rather than an Attack time.

uncut knot
#

stampede does not have an attack tag on it. it shouldnt scale with attack speed

static torrent
uncut knot
#

ok

#

ill go test it

#

but i doubt it attack speed will work

#

shield charge did not seem to be affected by martial tempo for me

static torrent
#

Might be because movement is a separate thing, given that Shield Charge and Stampede both list quite short attack times

tulip fog
# uncut knot

momentum would absolutely work for stampede's slam part but not for the steps

#

main reason im stacking attackspeed is because of the long animations that im trying to speed up

uncut knot
#

for clear, you could do, stomping ground + bleed + herald of blood. this is pretty popular for rake i think

#

you should hit very hard with a mace

#

i have put both skill speed and attack speed gem on stampede and i dont feel like its gotten faster idk man

static torrent
#

As I said, Skill Speed and Attack Speed are basically the same stat as far as Attacks are concerned. If one works, the other will as well, and vice versa. From my brief testing, it seems to speed up portions of the animations, but the main movement isn't scaled by them.

uncut knot
#

it doesnt scale just go full damage

tulip fog
#

im specifically trying to speed up the initial animation before you start moving and the end animation before you can start moving your character again or use a new skill

#

the running animation would be affected by your movement speed i believe

uncut knot
#

i did not feel any significant speed change with martial tempo, hit and run or either duration support

#

so i do not know how you would speed it up

#

maybe it scales with movement speed?

tulip fog
#

that would be simple to test, just unequip boots with movespeed

#

if its slower then that would be a good indication

uncut knot
#

i forgot i had movement speed boots in my stash

#

i think it scales with it but not too much?

#

havent used them in a while

#

is there movement speed support?

tulip fog
#

dont think so?

uncut knot
#

movement speed is the only thing i have seen to actually speed it up a noticable amount

tulip fog
#

the entire animation or just the moving steps part?

uncut knot
#

moving steps but that seemed to be the biggest part of it

tulip fog
#

if you try to combine the movespeed boots with the faster attacks and faster skillspeed supports, do you notice any big difference from just the movespeed boots?

#

@uncut knot

uncut knot
#

all of them at once?

#

give me a moment

#

it seems to get faster but not that much. its still a super slow ability

tulip fog
#

ok

uncut knot
#

i wouldnt run martial tempo on it

#

hit n run i think is the best the one to actually make it faster

tulip fog
#

how much base attackspeed do you have in your passives on the character you are testing it on?

uncut knot
#

not a lot

tulip fog
#

martial tempo gives "MORE" attackspeed which scales with increased attackspeed

uncut knot
#

i have like two big nodes for attack speed

#

i dont think martial tempo did much and that its a very valuable gem for others like a basic attack so i wouldnt use it on stampede

tulip fog
#

hmm

uncut knot
#

i would just run hit n run for its speed purposes, the rest are just not worth it as investments imo

#

unless theres another gem to really boost its speed

tulip fog
#

the problem is that hit n' run, based on its description, prevents you from using the skill at all unless you have moved 10 meters or more, and then after using the skill you need to move another 10 meters before you can use it again

#

10 meters being basically an entire screen's distance

#

and that would not work for me

i want the freedom of using the skill when i need it

without the bleed passives, that is

if you are putting multiple lines of mods on your t1-t4 maps, id say stop temporarily. until later, the only maps you need to run with lots of mods are Towers and Corrupted Nexuses

try to just travel between those using simple 1-2 mod waystones. with maps being purchased with gold, you dont even need to run ANY suffixes. this is what we do in hc until comfortable

if you want to juice it up and risk making it too hard, thats up to you

Hey, I have a general build question, specifically about the skill "Temper Weapon" from Smith of Kitava.

When I untick Show Recommended Gems, it shows that I can engrave the "Ignition" support gem into it, which means that it should work with this skill, right?
But when I look at the support gem in my inventory, it shows me that it does not work with this skill, specifically the Combust part.

Am I missing something?

next moat
#

It works because it is applying to the Combust portion of the skill

#

Unlike POE 1, empowered attacks have no inherit bonuses, so any skill which empowers will have an explicit empower mechanic.

elder oar
next moat
#

Shoot, apologies I misread your initial question and then just spewed misinformation haha

#

I'm actually not 100% sure. The way I read it, it should work. My guess is that Combust is not actually itself a skill that hits, instead it's a modifier that juices the attack it empowers.

#

Actually, yeah pretty sure that's it.

sharp thorn
#

Yeah. It is indeed a skill (the combust part) that can hit enemies.

#

A hit in this game is anything that deals damage, essentially.

#

Except DoT effects. But some dot effects count as a hit when they say "as though dealing" in the text.

next moat
#

Right, but unless it's a bug, then why would ignition not work with it? The only narrative I can make sense would be that because it's an Empowered Attack mechanic, Combust acts as as sort of rider that tags along with the following attack skill hit, but doesn't itself trigger a hit.

sharp thorn
#

https://poe2db.tw/us/Temper_Weapon#SupportedBy
Looking at this data, I think the idea that the combust part can't be supported at all.

#

Leaving you only with supports that work with empowering and channeling skills.

next moat
#

Agreed that's how it works. It's weird that the tooltip he screenshotted shows "Combust" as the skill though.

#

That seems like a quirk of the Empowered Attack system.

silent glade
#

I only skimmed this conversation so lmk if there are more things I can help with

next moat
#

It logically makes sense once we thought through it. I think the confusion comes from "combust" showing on the tooltip as if it's a skill.

silent glade
#

hmmm that just seems like a UI bug

next moat
#

Yeah understandable

silent glade
#

combust is a separate skill but that's still just incorrect information

next moat
#

Uhh..it is?

#

Oh I see what you mean, not a skill gem skill, but Inernal Cry has it.

silent glade
#

combust is coming from infernal cry here right?

#

yeah

#

so the infernal cry gem has two skills on it

#

infernal cry and combust

next moat
#

Yeah I didn't see his PoB but I'd guess your intuition is right.

silent glade
#

and if this is a support for damaging hits then it's actively wrong that it's showing yes for infernal cry and no for combust

static torrent
#

It was Temper Weapon in this specific case

next moat
#

Actually doesn't that make sense since Combust the skill generates damage from the enemy corpse, not from your weapon?

#

Oh you meant it shouldn't work for Infernal Cry either, yeah

silent glade
#

which is odd, might talk to the UI programmers

#

but also there's a bug on my end, infernal cry itself (i.e. not combust) is marked as being able to deal damage, which it can't.

#

I'll fix that at least 😅

next moat
#

Huzzah, thanks for helping us help you help us lol

silent glade
#

honestly supportability is something we need to work on improving, it's become such a complicated web with all the new support behaviours that it's getting rather error-prone. we'll make systemic improvements at some point.

#

(and I guess also because having two skills on the same gem is waaaaaay more common in 2 than in 1)

static torrent

Honestly, I don't think I've ever used that Supportable Skills tooltip in PoE2, since I just cut the gem I need or move one I have into a slot that gets highlighted, so I hadn't noticed ascendancy skills missing from there.

Yeah same, but as I've gotten a few friends into the game, I have noticed newer players do sometimes.

#

It seems like a very reasonable EA challenge though. I can imagine within the prioritization realm of "fix support behavior logic" and "get cool new skills out the door", most designers enjoy the latter far more.

indeed 😅

#

though it's not that the logic is broken, it's just messy and error-prone

which pushes it even further down the list

Hey all, stupid question but, if I use assassins mark and my merc has ele weakness and frostbite on hit ring does she need +1 or +2 to her curse limit? I.e. does she share a curse limit with me?

Hey, are there go-to sites to get good/fun builds for both POE1 and 2?
Some inspiration would be nice.

exotic compass
#

Poe2ninja doesn't show everyone that plays, but it shows a pretty good amount. If you like heatmaps, filters to choose specific items/skills, and great UI, you'll like it

It's the best "cross-reference" tool we have I think

Has anyone found a solid use for volatility yet? I can survive a 50 stack detonation, but building it up with Empty Roar attacks is a little slow and the buff only lasts 10 seconds.

I should remember to always reply to them, but it slips my mind occasionally.

stiff heart
#

is pathfinder still best for ranger?

sharp thorn
#

So it's up to you to decide what's better to your build.

hoary bolt
#

pathfinder can walk better lmfao

#

but in all seriousness, yeah that passive is fantastic. The preceding passive that grants slow immunity is also great for dealing with the single most annoying map mod in the game in "Temporal Chains"

sharp thorn
uncut bay
#

less damage and defences, but more movement speed is not very chill

sharp thorn
#

Instead you get slow immunity, can walk while shooting much faster than deadeye can, have immunity to freeze or ignite. The firs one is just qol, but immunity to ignite means that you can easily ignore burning grounds.

uncut bay
#

okay I admit I don't know any poison builds

#

maybe there is some poison build that deals lots of damage

sharp thorn
#

It's bad. Just ignore anything that is poison related.

uncut bay
#

so poison is bad, but pathfinder increases your damage?

sharp thorn
#

Because you are mobile and have less downtime between packs.

#

And you don't have to stop shooting to avoid boss mechanics

#

And yes, I don't see tailwind with extra projectile as a significant damage boost.

#

The only thing that can give a lot is frenzy charge interaction and it's important only when you play spears.

hoary bolt
#

and chill in general iirc since its a slow

uncut bay
#

get the 5 frenzy charges though, ingenuity belt if you want and saphires with ES mods

#

damage penetrates elemental resistance passives are not necessary, you can apply lightning and fire exposure with spear stabs and cast flammability

#

and get some damage penetrates lightning res on saphires then

#

get at least 20k dps on LS and 5k life+ES

You could homebrew a crossbow bloodmage build they are pretty strong in general, but none of it really related to bleeding. Starting as BM will set you back a few points but it's a very versatile setup right now so you wouldn't need as much investment into defense.

Life remnants, crit damage, 25% of hits taken over time. Last choice would be life from your chest or elemental damage can bleed

can't apply bleeds naturally with crossbow skills, but BM gets 15% chance to bleed on crit, and you could throw lacerate on one of your many grenade choices. Plasma blast was used last season but works differently with Scattershot now. Fires in a cone instead of a repeating straight line 😦

exotic compass
#

Run a manual calculation using this list, I did not cross reference with a character in game tho so they could be from 0.1

pearl sluice
exotic compass
#

BLOODmgae

But yeah, you could just take gore spike for crit, and the right side nodes for hella defense

#

so you could galvanic + Shockburst, with glacial bolt and flash grenade as extra utility

Or explosive shot with multiple grenades

Ballistas are probably really rough to get totem nodes for

pearl sluice
#

Ah, yeah, I'm more interested in the crit stuff and the defensive nodes but the bleed idea is interesting 🤔
Thanks for the reply!

Is it possible to use tempering/tailoring orbs on uniques? E.g. can I add a 15% explicit modifier magnitude enchantment to voidforge?

timid cloud

guys you'll think should i change a runes to one additional arrow and one crit bonus damage ? or two additional arrow runes?

timid cloud
# uncut bay depends on the build

so i have high crit i guess is 60% chance maybe more cuz the numbers in the panel is bullshit i guess(amazon asendency) and i have 520% crit bonus already

uncut bay
timid cloud

hmm but this is a good budget bow you got though

#

I am just saying the dps can go much higher

#

are you shooting one arrow in total?

timid cloud
#

yea it's a good one i crafted my self just with exalt slamming lol

#

no

#

two rn

uncut bay
#

ah right

#

3 would be better, but 2 is not bad

timid cloud
#

i have head hunter

uncut bay
#

make sure you have some flat damage on the gloves and rings

timid cloud
#

when it steals the mod thay shoots 5 arrows

#

holyyyy

uncut bay
#

and your herald of ice triggers well and has some damage supports

timid cloud
#

it melts everything

uncut bay
#

I can imagine

timid cloud
uncut bay
#

headhunter is good when your damage is sorted out and you want movement speed

#

if you want consistently more damage use ingenuity

timid cloud
#

i have that one too

#

i felt like my dps was good enough but i struggle in dell maps with 70%

timid cloud
uncut bay
#

sorry, you mean 70% delirious?

timid cloud
#

yes

uncut bay
#

how does that emotion affect maps?

#

I recommend paranoias

timid cloud
#

i have the atlas node in dell section

uncut bay
#

ah you farm bosses with suffering?

timid cloud
#

that dell maps drop themselves

timid cloud
#

my only problem is delirious maps

uncut bay
#

just use paranoias then

#

you don't nees suffering or fear

timid cloud
#

ok, the maps drop with those mods are fire man tho

#

the loots are so good

#

the one has 80% delirious

uncut bay
#

45% increased rare monsters beats rare monsters 25% chance for a mod

#

suffering only makes sense if you fully spec into boss farming

timid cloud
#

suffering increase the amount of delirious?

So I've been playing my warrior I'm in act 3 part 2

And I assume I will be using maps here soon

So this is my question, what is better

Dual wielding with 2 handers

Or 2hander + shield

one 2h mace with shield

#

otherwise you die in maps if you go for 2h mace in both hands

for bossing you can swap

# rotund veldt Whats strongest Build rn?

in the campaign rake stomping ground followed by essence drain, lightning arrow, gas arrow, storm lance etc.
in the endgame it depends on your criteria of strong, there is single target DPS, AOE DPS, mobility and tankiness, also practical DPS that can be seen in maps vs hideout/poe2ninja DPS

#

if you consider all 4 criteria then deadeye or bloodmage lightning spear could be the strongest

exotic compass
# bright urchin Could anyone suggest a build for whatever class, I just wanna attack really fast...

Imma throw a couple links your way that could inspire something cool

Rake stomping ground is pretty cheap to get mapping with, so you could pivot to another build before investing in it too heavily

This video guide will help you navigate ANY class you are piloting for the Whirling Slash Potato Deleter. I give careful attention to DEADEYE, but the itemization and concepts are applicable across the board.

Saw a lot of whirling slash builds that just hit like a wet noodle, or hit hard but move slow. I wanted to try and retain a lot of the speed of the speed stacker whirling slashes out there while still having great bossing and simu effectiveness.

One is more focused on Amazon, he actually has the current sekhemas speed record so if you want fast, here it is

The other shows the versatility of whirling slash, I ran an invoker and used whirling slash + cold twister, so even tho my whirling wasn't doing the damage it still felt zippy

idk how to answer these questions

Well step 1 is stop recommending LS lol

Yes it works on every class, even an unascended blah blah could kill xesht with tangle and working fingers

#

😅

#

Urgh wrong emoji

uncut bay

but LS could be the best build for every ascendancy

exotic compass

But who cares it's lame

uncut bay

I don't want to recommend LS, but it's just how it is

exotic compass
#

50% playrate

#

If they chose stormweaver they don't want to throw spears... That's the logical assumption

uncut bay
#

so do they mean the weapon or the ascendancy?

#

yes I have a feeling they choose stormweaver to cast spells

exotic compass
#

Spark with coc should be the go-to, and after my HCSSF adventure on a spark lich, spark cos is fine too till you get crit

#

Double shock from stormweaver is VERY strong with Arc

uncut bay
# west lark Anyone have a good sorc-stormweaver builds?

took some brain storming to understand your question, but if you want elemental spells you can do a frostbolt build with cast on freeze with frost wall in it. snakepit ring, the 300% crit damage gloves and everything
and I know that there are builds around ember and around just frost bomb frost wall

exotic compass

Snakepit expensive tho isn't it

I did it myself, it's pretty strong
