[summer pasture]

or items with a buyout price

[halcyon solar]

btw what's your prefered affixes for Flasks. Meanwhile I like Increased Recovery Rate + more charges/less used.

[halcyon nacelle]

Is there a way to bind skills to weapon 2 on controller?

[vivid kestrel]

Considering swapping from Minions to ED/C. The clear on ED just looks so damn good...Any opinions?

wrong section my bad

[summer pasture]

click bind skill and then click advanced bind options

[carmine flicker]

does someone know mob with negative fire res, as low as possible?

[halcyon nacelle]

Tysm

[teal dock]

How my Smith build is going

[valid bolt]

any one tried arc deadeye

[analog gale]

chat

it might actually be possible to make a build that just repeatedly casts orb of storms

secrets of the orb + Idol of Uldurn + overabundance 3 means orb of storms would have a limit of 6

and it expires after firing 6 bolts

so the first orb might expire before you reach the 6th one

oh stormweaver could make it reach 8 instead

[fair rose]

for skeletons, is arsonists better than archers for bossing?

[hot elm]

im at interlude and getting tired of warrior skills as a warbringer How bad an idea will it be to use other skills that arent warrior's and any ideas on what i can use?

[candid garnet]

guys as melee warrior how do you generate endurance charges ?

[analog gale]

probably fine

attack damage and stuff will still work with bows and crossbows

there used to be a warbringer build in early 0.2 i think that used glacial bolt

but it got nerfed

basically you used to be able to armor break ice crystals

and so you would put the armor break explosion support on glacial bolt and each ice crystal would explode when you armor broke it

[hot elm]

so usual armor explode chain with glacial bolt?

interesting

[analog gale]

this doesnt work anymore btw

they made it so they dont explode iirc

[analog gale]

have you tried that thrown hammer skill?

[hot elm]

ggg fun haters

[hot elm]

Yeah im using it rn

[analog gale]

is it any fun

[hot elm]

i mean its pretty much mandatory and its pretty nice

big damage

either rolling slam or supercharged slam or ancestral cry on it

can go 500 fissures

im exaggerating but you get it

I just regret a bit going warrior for the 3rd time in a row

[analog gale]

im gonna try out abyssal lich

[tribal compass]

I feel like i just wasted 20hr of my life leveling a chronomancer

And now im at a point where nothing is good

[normal forum]

This is one of those games where I'm never touching something that's not at least a bit above average cause of how long leveling is lmao

[tribal compass]

I could swap to storm weaver ig

How is that

[static plinth]

Do we have a worm analogue yet

[quiet forge]

Weaver is fine

[zinc tundra]

so hollow palm is not yet fully implemented in pob?

[noble token]

im playing stampede - forge hammer - ancestral cry and jm wondering if i could fit volcanic fissure also but looking at it, it has absolutely horrible damage scaling. am i missing something? its over 3x lower than forge hammer

[halcyon totem]

anyone got a fun mercenary build for 0.3 ?

[thin basin]

which mod is preventing my dmg?

[abstract mountain]

Is Overabundance 3 in the game right now?

[night rune]

So with inner turmoil is controlled chaos basically worthless? I thought it would make volatility stop refreshing at 30, but it doesn't

[quiet forge]

Controlled Chaos is worthless in general

[tranquil star]

Does Titan's Ancestral Empowerment 'waste' on a skill that's already ancestrally empowered by some other means like support gem?

[royal totem]

is there any build with Ratha`s assault?

[lament oasis]

Did you confirm if this works? Sorry for pinging. Trying to figure this out too

[ornate wind]

does anyone happen to know if minion crit chance/crit damage bonus applies to the hit from a minion that's exploding from minion instability?

[fair rose]

arsonists or skeleton snipers good late game?

[silver tree]

Hello, I'm new to the game and wondering about how to create a build. I'm on PS5 and don't have access to third party tools like PoB, I just want to enjoy my time with the game. Like, I saw all the new stuff with fissure on warrior and it looks cool, I wouldn't mind following a guide really but I'm having a hard time finding one when starting out. This game is exhausting lol

[cedar aspen]

I replied to you in church of Warbringer bud 👍

Anyone else doing a shield build here having any good returns after the revamp? I’m overloaded with what block nodes to go for and what fire skills to do now. Seems like Lay Siege is the only node that grants you % per block chance, as the other one just raises max block now

thoughts on this build

the bootleg geralt of rivia build

is it gonna be playable in maps..

[tidal birch]

How do I get the monk a bit more tanky in the first 1/2 acts?

[royal totem]

deal more damage haha

[frigid hill]

hmm can generate 2000000 volatility stacks but can't figure out a good payoff

(exaggeration)

[quiet forge]

Catharsis||Cap is 200 BTW||

[tidal birch]

problem is, I play that char in a 4man group, so I will never do enough dmg to just "clear everything before it hits me"

[quiet forge]

Rely on your tank

[royal totem]

oh i see then you kinda cant

[frigid hill]

oh could have sworn they said there was no cap in the trailer

[quiet forge]

Typical developer misinfo

[royal totem]

thats why i dont think doing campain in that big of a group is a good idea imo

[quiet forge]

You get great drops

Got chaos in 2man act 2

[frigid hill]

but yeah catharsis is how i turn it into damage, i just cant find a satisfying skill to use the damage with

[tidal birch]

its for the fun of it

[quiet forge]

You need high base damages

[royal totem]

2man is fine but 4 is kinda too much i think

[quiet forge]

It's a waste of the scaling otherwise

[frigid hill]

yea... hexblast dead, flameblast dead, comet feels bad to cast

[quiet forge]

If you're doing spells, just do CoC comet, trigger it with something like fireball

[vital walrus]

would a jack of all trades build with this type of tree https://maxroll.gg/poe2/passive-tree/q3vb30g4 work in maps or should I avoid attempting smth like this

[frigid hill]

hmm you're on to something

gets the 200% inc crit from volatility

[quiet forge]

If you want the whole package-

Orb of Storms
Snap
Fireball
Living Bomb

[royal totem]

kinda dont know but i kinda have an idea for a build in which you use all elements and you gonna be some fking avatar haha

[viral rover]

Is there literally anything other than deadeye that can clear at a decent rate? Ed/c tends to struggle ST. Or just not labbed out yet

[vital walrus]

I went for Companion dmg + dmg of companion in presence to facilitate generic %inc for the build, with the rest going for all the strong generic Crit and Skill speed nodes

[quiet forge]

People went deadeye because they're fucking lazy and they don't want to think for themselves. A lot of skills work, you're just going to see a lot of LA/LR because meta dictates where all of the information goes

[vital walrus]

with the inspired notable you get 22% generic dmg increase per node; th value-per-point is worth even taking in min that one point that adds no stats on it own.

but im not sure if that's enough

[quiet forge]

@vital walrus Companions don't do enough damage to be a main carry, you're better off using them for util & stacking damages of a type that you're actually interested in

[viral rover]

Yeah im just sick of lightning. I haven't made it past act 2 yet this league with minimal time just testing shit out. Im leveling war now but its slow af early. Hopefully when I get fissure its viable enough.

[quartz ferry]

HDR screenshot but question.

Sands of time passive from Chronomancer bugs Meta skills? neither snap or frostbolt want to be casted

[vital walrus]

i think the crit chance adds up to 230% from the tree with like 150% crit dmg

[quiet forge]

Leap Slam / Boneshatter

[royal totem]

i myself dont like the idea of companions so i would just skip that

[quiet forge]

Forge Hammer is also goat

[vital walrus]

nono you don't understand

ther'es a notable that

gives you increases to dmg from tree to you

so it's +12% dmg node to you, and another 10% while the companion is not dead and near you

[viral rover]

@quiet forge should be fine end game I assume?

[royal totem]

but there are better nodes for damage i think

i mean just more crit

[quiet forge]

Not worth it

[royal totem]

or elemental pen

[vital walrus]

and the companions can be useful spirit dumps because they can apply shock, vuln aura etc. flexible too

[royal totem]

or just attack

[quiet forge]

Is what fine

[vital walrus]

22% per node is kina crazy even with the -1 pt for that notable

[quiet forge]

Kaom mace just got a lot of support added, if you layer ancestral cry you should be fine

[viral rover]

Like the fissure warrior or some warrior build

[quiet forge]

It's not just 1 node, you need to calc the cost according to every single point you spent even travelling to it

[vital walrus]

invoker has this thing that ignores defenses 20% of time if u crit

[hasty prism]

skill effect duration doesn't work with corrupted blood does it?

[vital walrus]

so i figured id just stack raw damage and scale crit instead and still get a small amount of free pen benefit

[verbal merlin]

does having more pen than the resistances of the enemy make you do damage as if they have -res?

[quiet forge]

On the tree you proposed, it costs you at minimum 8

[vital walrus]

those are on the way to the crit nodes and other good nodes i took

fortunately

[hasty prism]

can't go below 0% i mean for pen*

[quiet forge]

That's the only thing you grabbed though

It's not being used as main path

So technically that's -18

[vital walrus]

every build travels I tried to match it to other options with same x travel pts and ended up having less opportunity cost :c

[quiet forge]

I see a bunch more nodes for companion shit too

Rip all that out and just spend it on critical hit / generic damage

[vital walrus]

nothin else nearby comes close to 22% per pt

[verbal merlin]

so having like 114% pen is overkill kinda?

[quiet forge]

useless

Max you'll need is like 70

[quiet forge]

again, it's not that much per point, and tons of these nodes are absolute dogshit

the best one i'm seeing is like 12%

[verbal merlin]

oke thank

[quiet forge]

I get 40% on notables just for playing 2-h

[rare pike]

Yeahh the merc starting point is pretty bad for this, You would be better off starting as a monk or ranger and then pathing both ways using Merc abilities, You could then go either Pathfinder or Chayula

or even as a lich

[quiet forge]

Highest level mercenary on server took CI btw

[vital walrus]

Have you seen Inspiring ally notable

[rotund veldt]

I saw many people play a fast witch infernalist...anyone knows a good build that is fast for mapping? Cant find one that looks like the people i met

[vital walrus]

if pet dead its 12. when pet alive is 22.

[quiet forge]

1. Companion dies to a fucking breeze
2. TBH It's probably easier to just post images at you now

[subtle jetty]

Are ancestral Spirit totems working yet or warbringer acendency answered call?

[vital walrus]

there's a cool supp gem that makes pet immortal for 4sec and respawn is roughtly same; so if you're the most unlucky person on plat and pet dies 0.00001s every time after spawn

it still has 50% up time

[quiet forge]

bro you're not cooking here, you have at max 14 nodes for this at exorbitant travel costs, for a worse rate on average than literally ANY other generic damage node

[vital walrus]

oh no im just corrtin what ur say earlier

not bout cook or kitchen

[quiet forge]

i know about last gasp and it's just not enough

[vital walrus]

no but u left num out entirely thts not correct to say either

nvm man all good

[quiet forge]

i promise if there was a build there someone would have tried it (and gotten it nerfed) by now ngl

wait until 0.4

you should get a lot more support in druid's patch

[vital walrus]

ye hope so. I love both bad jackofalltrades builds and love compainion so lookin forward to that :D

[quiet forge]

JOAT is fundamentally broken in this game

If you don't specialize, you are zdps

[pale niche]

Is there a calculator for Tame Beast spirit cost?

[rose rapids]

When I use called shots to apply snipers mark and then crit the target and it is the only target around, will it then apply snipers mark again to the same target?
If it does and when I then crit the same target again within less then 0.5 sec. does Called shots then do nothing for the next 4 seconds where it would autocast snipers mark again, or will it autocast snipers mark again once the 0.5 CD on consumption is over?

[tribal kayak]

yall got any tips on how i could make the nerfed splinter of loretta kinda good again?

[river schooner]

do you get pin generation just from the tactician ascendancy node? without having to invest in supports etc

[tawdry echo]

Ye

Throw them mortars

[ruby turret]

is called shots a trigger skill? kinda seems like it both is and isn't but im not sure if the game classifies it as one

[obsidian dragon]

path of building keeps telling me to convert to 0_3 anyone know how to fix that?

[tawdry echo]

Tactician secret ascendancy this league

[river schooner]

also i keep seeing people supporting their regular crossbow shot lol. unless it works alongside ammunition now??

[tawdry echo]

It’s really good

Zizaran even ran it first character

[river schooner]

or maye people are just using it for swapout gem storage

[buoyant pendant]

Best way to generate and sustain power charges for act 3 monk?

[true sphinx]

Hey is there any Path of Building equivalent I can use that's actually updated? Or is nothing updated yet

[stark kettle]

Any suggestions for getting my defense up as a Sorc? I just hit act 3 and while I do really solid damage, I am very squishy even at max ele res. I feel like PoE 1 made it so much easier because there were so many life nodes and like general defense nodes in the passive tree

[quiet forge]

what'd they use?

[quiet forge]

You need more ES & convalesence for starters, damage in this game you just kind of have to outscale

[river schooner]

the full pin branch for sure, especially for spammy cannon builds.
not sure how well pin works against bosses tho

[quiet forge]

it's alright

[quiet forge]

if it's just for this I'll pass, I'm on witch-hunter, decimating strike has fucked so far

[river schooner]

also great ailment protection and immobilization buildup

and less persistent buff reservation

[obsidian dragon]

anyones else path of building not working?

[river schooner]

im a pure crossbow user but not sure if im going with tactician or witchhunter for decimating... the latter seems better for pure crossbow (that is, no totems / no nades)

[autumn pond]

So what's the current cheapest specter?

Scratch that what's a good Gimick specter?

[river schooner]

Fleshpierce is the best utility spectre by far. provides a high-lvl haste aura

but they might nerf/remove it later

[autumn pond]

Wich act it's that i just got my first bind specter gem

[river schooner]

and by best i mean in poe1 and poe2 both , crazy good

in one of the interludes, at the wandering vendor guy

[autumn pond]

Alright

[river schooner]

khari crossing

[frail sedge]

if I'm playing a stun build+ break armour on stun, is there any way I can make use of that mechanics (doing extra damage to stunned/broken enemies) and make the bonus damage for stunned/broken armour apply to shield wall (since that's the big hit out of the 2-hit combo)? cuz if shield wall explosion hits first then it wouldn't make use of the fact that the mobs are stunned, since shield wall it the one breaking their armour/stunning them, no?

[autumn pond]

Is terracotta soldier still cheep?

[quiet forge]

It's just incredibly generically powerful, I'll get rid of it later when I have enough power to support it, but for now it's carrying in boss fights ngl

Also fuck ammunition playstyle

Grenades are a lot more friendly for weapon swap

[river schooner]

i love the run-and-gun + ammuniation swap mechanic, and i dont want to spam explosions with the cannons, but obviously they're super strong

[quiet forge]

I'd use it more if you could actually reload properly

[river schooner]

reloads fine for me. the bug can be worked around

[quiet forge]

I'd rather not, it's just extra mental stack to have to deal with at the wrong time

and the rounds themselves just don't do it for me

gl tho

[stark kettle]

So ES is the way? Should I just go full ES? Not a huge fan of Convalescence, mostly because I'm using the mana remnant one which solves all my mana problems. But I think I get 30 more spirit in Act 3, so I could slot it then

[quiet forge]

like if crossbow was my primary it'd be fine

[quiet forge]

Yes
Yes
You have to use it, there's no alternative

Otherwise the problem will continue being a problem

[river schooner]

yeah the only other option would not be available in the northern part of the tree

[stark kettle]

It's a 30s CD right? How does that help my general survivability?

[quiet forge]

you gotta take a bunch of nodes like patient barrier too

[quiet forge]

Second Wind / Ingenuity

[quiet forge]

How often do you find yourself going oh shit? If it's consistently not up, you need to play safer, sorry mang

[stark kettle]

I feel extremely squishy, so even 1 hit seems to feel like an oshit moment, but I guess. Just not a fan of reactive defensives like that. It being my only option makes me want to swap classes because that is garbage lmao

[quiet forge]

that feeling will never go away, so you probably are incompatible

try warrior if you wanna go grug me bunga

or es/eva

blue/green is frankly just better than red in this game

[quiet forge]

Anyway this means your defenses are too low

Obviously

buy some better gear for your archetype

and layer in other things you can reasonably splash

[stark kettle]

I mean, I have been looking and even done a bit of gambling

I can't use the market yet since I just started act 3

[quiet forge]

try this

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Rise of the Abyssal/K3J4rKgI5

set the max price to something you can afford though

[stark kettle]

I can't trade yet

[quiet forge]

yes you can

[stark kettle]

It literally won't let me. Even person to person, I tried 3 times yesterday

[quiet forge]

fucked up

get to ange asap and then proctor some purchase

Don't feel weird about using a shield

there's armor / es shield for a reason

gonna do 0 dps on the floor

[dusky wadi]

how does the extra projectiles work with deadeye?

[stark kettle]

I'm using a shield lol

[quiet forge]

damn

did you cap res

[quiet forge]

how do you think it works?

[stark kettle]

Yes

I am not a complete idiot

[quiet forge]

then unfortunately it's just layering in passives that grant you more ehp

[dusky wadi]

i mean, i figured it would just add an extra projectile but it doesnt seem as simple because it feels like my damage has gone down

[stark kettle]

Right, I get that, which is mainly what I was asking about. What are some good passives I can grab for ehp? Idk what passives are actually worth the points

[quiet forge]

the only reason that would have happened is if you're not hitting the ability with both projectiles

[dusky wadi]

i feel like im barely getting support gems

[quiet forge]

work on enhanced barrier, patient barrier, melding & dampening shield

when you have around 3-5k max, start buying start of energy recharge and energy recharge rate

after that jewels / better amulet / annoints etc

[autumn pond]

Just made a terracotta soldier bind, it's not 10 spirit anymore, in fact it 53 spirit.

So what is the cheapest specter now?

[frail sedge]

Or anyone knows if shield charge or shield wall hits first

[royal totem]

do skills like this work with hollow palm?

[tribal egret]

So, I'm playing the Lighting Arrow/Rod Ranger build. Currently I'm level 26. Currently my skill gems are sitting at,
Lightning Arrow 3
Lightning Rod 3
Barrage 5
Freezing Salvo 5
Should upgrade the levels higher? At what level is too high and not worth it cause of the mana cost?

[dusky wadi]

can different levels of the same gem stack?

like can i have elemental armament 1 and 2 on the same skillgem?

[royal totem]

dont think so

[analog gale]

hey chat

ember fusilade or arc for a skill to use up lightning infusions

[frail sedge]

Wtf is this shield with no block implicit??

Is this scam shield or wtf lmfao

[analog gale]

does arc still have the ability to chain back to previous enemies hit?

[static plinth]

No

[fathom rover]

if you have "gain x damage as chaos damage" then get increase chaos damage does it apply to the gained damage?

[raven siren]

Anyone know what the meta is for sanc running? I wanna get back into it but all 3 of my builds I used are nerf'd

[sterile spade]

Hey guys, what is the best build guide currently for hollow palm invoker?

[celest tinsel]

Fellas
How to configure one weapon being used for 2 weapon sets

[obsidian dragon]

anyone else path of building not working?

[winged rain]

not even close. it says 16, but when you summon it's like 50 some

[soft wren]

the increased chaos will increase whatever base chaos you're doing. so if you have 100 fire converted to chaos, increases to chaos will only apply

gain x% of damage as extra chaos is calculated at the end of the formula I believe (don't quote me on that), so taking into account all your damage output and applying that percentage at the end

[deep creek]

yes i cant import anything from poe.ninja... bit lame

[obsidian dragon]

i downloaded version 10.0 and it seemed tto have work for me

[true sphinx]

1. does Blackflame convert Mana Flare to chaos damage, 2) does consuming mana for Mana Flare count as spending mana on a skill

[warm zodiac]

My Ritualist is all over the place. It feels like I'm playing an Amazon build with lightning spear etc but using the Ritualist ascendancy.

Any tips for a cool Ritualist?

[tired hornet]

Is there some kind of tool for resource market evaluation? Like to know whether I should exchange certains orbs for exalts and stuff like that

[soft wren]

ritualist probably the worst ascendancy atm

[minor tree]

Has anyone had success with ancestral warrior totems? The only good way to generate endurance charges seems to be breaking armor, it's a bit of a balancing act (or spam resonating shield and consume the broken armor, but that's tough to weave in)

[warm zodiac]

Huh why

[autumn pond]

How has the one question ive asked repeatedly today not gotten and answer, yet one off questions have, anyway does anyone know what the cheapest specter is?

[minor tree]

Terracotta soldiers are 10 spirit

Idk if there are more with the same cost, at worst it's tied as the cheapest

[fluid jetty]

what are some ways to scale spell damage outside of archmage? (preferably one that works with spark)

[soft wren]

just not any breakout nodes in the ascendancy for the most part I guess. consensus amongst most of the people that stream, do build guides etc is that it's pretty dogwater. good thing is you can always swap over

[warm zodiac]

It feels like Amazon is just a worse Deadeye

[soft wren]

played a homebrew ice spear+fangs amazon w/ a cracked out boar companion last season and could do T3 pinns

accuracy stacker with the spider shield, not much investment tbh and spears should be cheaper this time aaround

crown of eyes and maligaro's gloves

[warm zodiac]

Yeah but Amazon got nerfed in 0.3 sadly. That's why I thought about trying out Ritualist 😂

[soft wren]

yeah maybe huntress just ain't in that great of a place atm :p.. worth checking out PoE ninja and seeing what the top players of whatever ascendancy you're aiming for are doing

https://poe.ninja/poe2/builds/abyss/character/Klanfire1-4872/Rasta_Mirror?i=1&search=class%3DRitualist have no idea what the fuck is going on there tbh lol

[warm zodiac]

Sick ty!

[barren nacelle]

if something ignores elemental resistances does penetration still add the extra damage ?

[inland rain]

Playing ritualist with hollow palm. 20% phys damage boost is nice with some poison infused skills

[high rivet]

do you guys think its worth it to use the new desecrated armor breaking mod for scavenged plating for thorns, or just stick with spear for rapid assault

[hushed flint]

is this giving 69+47 energy shield or 69 in total?

[high rivet]

69

[soft wren]

https://tenor.com/view/nice-south-park-gif-17950420

[low gust]

Are you not able to equip 2 of the same skill gem anymore?

[cyan fable]

why do some warrior builds recommend "Mass Rejuvenation" ?

[livid fulcrum]

Nope, can't anymore

[hushed flint]

so the above sums all okay

[high rivet]

yeah whatever it says its armor or whatever is, thats it. stuff like jewellry can modify global ES or something, but on armors, those mods are usually local

you can tell cause the number is blue, not white

[low gust]

aight thx

[distant glade]

https://poe.ninja/poe2/builds/abyssssf/character/jasehc-2955/jase_xdd?i=7&search=class%3DRitualist ive just been playing blind not following a build, anything i can optimize here? looking at tree and gems. thinking of just swapping to lightning spear soon, getting hard to scale dmg

[restive needle]

Is there a timeless jewel calc for the new undying hate?

[vagrant plinth]

Sorry for the late reply, but I was doing this all for gemling legionnaire. Would that ascendancy still not make it worth?

[kindred dawn]

how do we scale hollow palm on tree? only general "attack" mods right?

since its not quarterstaff anymore

[balmy fable]

yknow ive just realized instead of spending 7 points on frenzy charge sustain, i could just get more crit/mark stuff and use snipers mark to sustain lmao

[restive needle]

Same as normal, just don't take the quarter staff nodes on the far right

[restive needle]

Why not just use combat frenzy?

[balmy fable]

going to be do ing that as well

i made this pob having not played any spear stuff, didnt realize how easy it is to gen frenzies on bosses w/ parry + combat frenzy + snipers mark

combat frenzy is more for clearing tho tbh

[restive needle]

Yeah it's more of a passive thing while blasting

[balmy fable]

i need spirit on both amulet and body i think ffs

im also playing osme jank though

[restive needle]

Probably gonna be how I sustain for my chonk

[balmy fable]

playing glacial lance bleed blood mage lmao

[restive needle]

What else are u reserving?

[balmy fable]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/pob/xxvqq0gr\

uh

[restive needle]

Glacial lance an bleed is an interesting choice

[balmy fable]

herald of blood

combat frenzy

id LIKE to use uh

idr the name

the es recharge one

i was debating about doing a life flask setup

for the support that gives bleed efficacy based on flask charge consumption

but i think its bait

[restive needle]

Probably but it could be worth a shot

[balmy fable]

but yeah ideally ill be using combat frenzy, herald of blood, and a cast on X

probably cast on crit?

which lets me drop blasphemy

otherwise i run blasphemy

i need curses on at all times for aggravated bleeding from blood mage

ghost dance would be nice as well

basically a lot of stuff id LIKE to have

lmao

idk how consistent cast on crit is these days

like.... is it consistent enough to use for my curse setup, or do I need to run blasphemy

tbh ill probably just stick with blasphemy

and throw a bunch of aoe on

anyone know if allies in your presence mods apply to you?

[dawn heath]

you are not your ally unfortunately

[balmy fable]

rip

[pine silo]

guys do rhoa speed scalling with movement speed in the boots?

[restive needle]

It should

[chilly mist]

i've heard people mention gemling as one of the more fun ascendancies.. is dis tru?

[pine silo]

so if i get 25% movement speed form boots and 15% form rhoa, it will make 40%?

[dire cave]

anyone here play minions? if so how do they feel with the new buffs?

[restive needle]

Yeah it's a flat inc movespeed like the mods u get on boots, or the ms u get on the tree

Unsure if it counts as sprinting for the sprinting passive nodes tho

[restive prawn]

how do i scale fire wall gas arrow damage, on my gear

[indigo vault]

have anyone yet figured out if this node affects the number of swarms. Ravenous swarm creates?

[hybrid onyx]

Is there any build for lightning arrow deadeye? I cant find a pob link or a guide that uses PoB2

[stray gorge]

Returning Poe1 player of like ten years... what's good these days? LOL

I never thought GGG would put the passive tree on heavy steroids, but here we are lol

[dry island]

what is the best overall defensive layer? as back when I played ev and es were way above armour in general and not sure if that has changed did notice they added deflect and evasion seems a bit harder to stack as high now

[restive needle]

Block+ life on block looks very strong, but I dont think people are at the stage to say yet in the top end

We've gotta wait and see if armour+ele armour+block or es+eva+deflect is better

[dry island]

cheers

[lone wave]

Just to confirm what I think I already know in case I've forogotten something;
when converting thing to other thing, you only build for other thing, not first thing or both, right?

If you use Eldritch Battery, converting energy shield to mana,
you don't get to boost your energy shield then convert to mana and boost that,
nor is it boosting es, converting, and being done,
but rather it's converting es upfront, then boosting only mana.

The natural instinct of my brain is that when converting I should obviously want both the original and new modifiers but then I think I remember learning otherwise

[last burrow]

does anyone know if unleash works in spells in coc?

[restive needle]

Yeah pretty sure poe2 works this way, it's different from poe1

Same goes for converting damage afaik, u can't double dip by increasing fire, then converting 100% fire to cold and increasing cold (unless what I've been taught was misinformation, this is knowledge I've got from when I played heaps in 0.1 tho)

[kindred dawn]

is crit like really hard to cap? 10% inccreased chance to crit for a notable is tiny no?

[atomic halo]

there's another line

yeah 10% is not a lot, it's supplementary to the other bit

[lusty pike]

hey, did you acquire that spectre in new league? the cheapest i can find in lost city is 16 spirit, is it nerfed?

[tired hornet]

Living Lightning Support gem - good or bad?

[dire cave]

imo they are bad the duration is relatively short and the damage is average

[blissful stratus]

Is fully broken armor bugged at the moment? it keeps resetting and re-breaking for me

[tired hornet]

Thanks that was my experience I just wasn't sure cos it's hard to see what they actually do

[low roost]

Would deadeye make a good fire mage? I like projectile +1 and tailwind. But not sure if it's worth reaching from the ranger start point over to the sorceress area on the passive tree...

[obsidian vapor]

do i need spell leech to benefit from the chayula monk chaos leech node when using spells

[dire cave]

I think you need leech in general for chaos leech from chayula to apply since all it does is allow leech to work on chaos damage

[obsidian vapor]

well ye but would regular ol physical leech for attacks suddenly apply to the chaos damage for spells?

[dire cave]

well no since it specifies attacks

[obsidian vapor]

highly unfortunate

[dire cave]

such is the case with a lot of ideas that dont work

[obsidian vapor]

fr fr guess ill just go further down that volatility path

[soft wren]

just go PoE ninja and follow the top LA player's trees

[hybrid onyx]

this site is awful, and the trees seem broken. Builds say they have called shots but the deadeye tree doesnt have it allocated

wtf - why is this so much harder than poe1

[soft wren]

tree might be a little buggy.. basically all the LA deadys at the top run the same shit. pretty difficult build to mess up

should have absolutely no problem blasting thru campaign just roughly following them

[hybrid onyx]

yeah i got to act 3 and im hitting issues with dmg due to taking the wrong supports i think?

[halcyon solar]

Are there Abyssal modifiers for jewelry? never seen one

[obsidian sparrow]

hello eveyrone, I want to different good build for uber and who is can sell all set

[halcyon solar]

are there desecrated mods for jewelry?

[shell temple]

????

[sweet fiber]

does this bow mod work with this passive node

[bronze canopy]

Havent played poe2 in awhile. I finished the campaign last year 6x with all classes and really enjoyed fire sorc. Ignition, living bomb, fusilade were somme of my favorites. Any updates to that game play/build? wondering whats the new best builds

[sweet fiber]

currently deadeye is apparently "best"

[normal forum]

deadeye by far best

but u can check out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEFJozod3Bw&t=20s

[graceful hull]

Best Ascendancy for Bone Cage/Storm?

Im guessing its one of the Witches but they all abit different

[vale mesa]

guys where do i convert my premium tabs again? whats the link?

[winter niche]

Did anyone try new toxic growth? Any siggestions, insights on it?

[quiet forge]

Lich

Blood mage has low syn bc bone spells are already 15% crit

[obsidian sparrow]

I want to free build who is sell

I am poorly

[calm forge]

is there any way to scale spread radius? for contagion specifically

[graceful hull]

What about Infernalist?

I was thinking Beidat + Low Life and the self ignite crit dmg bonus. Infernalist can get a ton of crit dmg bonus free

[still sluice]

question about charged staff? can it shock? cause i put a shock support gem on it but it never seems to proc shock even though its a lightning skill. granted im using charge staff with ice strike
so im not sure why its not procing shock even with the support gem

[unique wolf]

I'm currently in Act III running Infernalist, I'm using a fireball setup and the new Blackflame keystone. Can anyone help me with what I should be running to clear mobs? I feel like my damage is off.

[teal dock]

I'm having a good time with Blackflame Covenant on my Smith lol. Solar Orbs and whacking

[last bolt]

Does anyone know of a reilable way to get Cold Archon? Like if you sac energy shield w/ spending doesn't stop regen? I suspect this won't work though since it didn't "start" recharging?

[halcyon solar]

I don't understand how people in the guides are running Herals, Companion and Winddancer without spirit on the gear. Doesn't work for me. Why could that be?

[normal forum]

how much spirit do u have

[broken nexus]

when it comes to self triggering charms, is the best way to do it with ignite and the fireflower amulet that hits you when you ignite someone?

[halcyon solar]

100

[normal forum]

prob getting spirit on amulet or chestpiece then

[halcyon solar]

yeah, I probably will. But I still don't understand the issue still

[normal forum]

i mean they prob just arent running it in reality but showing it on guide in case u do have spirit

well extra spirit

[halcyon solar]

it's essentially integrated in the build, however there's still no spirit on the gear. Can you see how much spirit gems cost?

ah got it

[halcyon solar]

does spirit reservation go down with quality?

[normal forum]

it might with some of them? but i doubt most

[hallow meadow]

Which is better chayula or invoker?

[normal forum]

invoker prob

[dusky wadi]

which weapon do yall think has better skills, bow or crossbow? im using crossbow rn and im thinking of switching to bow on deadeye but im not sure

[normal forum]

bow deadeye is the meta

with lightningarrow

[dusky wadi]

ah okay, i dunno if im gonna do meta but i am just not feeling the crossbow skills atm

i just need to make some money to respec now, and hope i get enough skillgems lol

[normal forum]

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/ben-0-3-league-starter-live

idk how far leveled u are

[dusky wadi]

like 46 lol

[normal forum]

but this deadeye crossbow build is rlly good

[dusky wadi]

wait it says a quiver with the crossbow, how does that work?

[normal forum]

just a bug

[pastel knoll]

is this good for any builds? i cant find anything about it on the poe trade site.

[atomic halo]

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Rise of the Abyssal/Br0mOQ3u8

[dusky wadi]

how is it using stormcaller arrow? is there a bow in the offhand?

[pastel knoll]

idk why but no matter what i did nothing came up when i searched it. odd

ty

[normal forum]

yeah in offhand which i assume is why the quiver shows

[dusky wadi]

any idea what bow is used? cause it doesnt show any

[normal forum]

honestly not sure it matters

i think its for utility

[normal forum]

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2552859226?t=07h05m50s

if u want to see gameplay

timestampedd

[proud sorrel]

for a blood warrior build is dual weilding worth it?

[white schooner]

Could somebody provide the link for path of building

[dusky wadi]

so its using lightning arrow and crossbow? huh

i dont think that build is the same as the one you sent

[normal forum]

thats galvanic shard in the gameplay

[dusky wadi]

ah cause i see he has lightning arrow equpped

[normal forum]

did it take u to the timestamp?

[dusky wadi]

also how do you change skillpoints between weapon sets, i never figured that out

[normal forum]

cause he leveled with lightning arrow

[dusky wadi]

it doesnt show the timestamp

[normal forum]

and shockburst rounds for bosses

[normal forum]

go to 14 hours and 10 mins in

[dusky wadi]

well now i just gotta get money to respec cause thats a whole nother issue

i tend to make the mistake of focusing on using multiple skills rather than just one, but thats my bad

i just need a spirit gem for herald of thunder

[lavish pine]

Does anyone know if autocasting Contagion is possible?

[dusky wadi]

@normal forum do you know how to change between skill trees for weapon sets?

[normal forum]

cant say ive ever messed with it

[proper lava]

coming back to poe 2 after a while, is corrupting cry builds for warrior still viable?

[dire cave]

when you are on the passive tree on the right hand side should be the weapon set options just click on the arrow on either weapon set 1 or 2 and start spending skill points

[dusky wadi]

ah okay thank you

[dire cave]

keep in mind you cant weapon set point your way through jewel sockets

[dusky wadi]

what exactlly are league starter builds for? is it just to get into the league and get to endgame for currency stuff to make more niche builds later?

[pine willow]

Is Perfect Strike still the go-to single target attack for low level warriors? Wondering if I should use my first Skill Gem 5 on it or just upgrade boneshatter

[dire cave]

league starter builds are exactly what they sound like a starter build to get into a new league just to make cash for your 2nd or main character

[dusky wadi]

yeah i made the mistake of trying to make a new build fresh off the league, not exactly working out

im stuck needing a lvl 11 spirit gem to get herald of thunder and im struggling

[dire cave]

if it makes you feel better my merc isnt feeling too good atm since I need siege cascade to deal proper damage

which requires level 53 to use while I am at 45

[dusky wadi]

i was trying to do a rapid shot deadeye build but man they ruined rapid shot

[dire cave]

tbf tho staying max heat while firing the equivelant of a machine gun wasnt exactly fair

[dusky wadi]

true but they made it super restictive now

[bronze canopy]

which skills are feeling good to use right now

[dire cave]

I mean hey if you are looking to make a new character I'd be down to join in

🙂

[dusky wadi]

i mean, im kinda in to deep on this one i dont really wanna reset it, i just need to shift my points around a little and get herald of tunder

[dire cave]

what level are you at?

[dusky wadi]

46 but this is the like 3rd attempt at starting a new character and im getting sick of clearfel im ngl

[dire cave]

mind if I join in then?

its slow progress on my 45 merc

[dusky wadi]

i mean im at black chambers rn

so we can try

[dire cave]

I'm a little ahead but down for it yeah

wanna call?

[mossy dove]

does anyone have an endgame Acolyte of Chayula build unarmed thats actually working right now because what im cooking is ass

[unique wolf]

guys quick question, if I use withering touch support gem on raging spirits, will it wither mobs better than using withering presence?

[paper vine]

Outside of the usual Deadeye are there any notable builds so far? Trying warrior but it feels pretty bad atm

Curious of Witch but not sure how it is performing

[abstract grove]

best way to generate endurance charges? my totem fissure build is breaking armor and stunning with most attacks, so the supports can be a bit unreliable >_>

[dry island]

wanna see my shit build idea?

[sweet fiber]

people saying minions are really good currently

[last bolt]

Does spell cascade work with snap? It has it in the list but sometimes it doesn't work anyway lmao

[calm forge]

i have 2 questions, if anyone knows an answer to either that'd be nice.

does a cursed enemy dying count as the curse expiring? i've found several different answers thru research online so curious if there's an official answer.
update: i tested this myself, it does count

is there any way to scale spread radius, context being contagion?

[north heart]

what did they do with gemling where you could use a second copy of the same support gem?

[halcyon shale]

Hey guys is Cast on Ailment good now or are those meta skills still bad?

Would take a lot of investment for me to test

[versed tundra]

Is it possible to reduce armor break duration? By default it’s 12 seconds against enemies iirc

[minor tree]

I didn't, could be outdated

[solid sphinx]

are there any bow/spear/xbow skills that consume power charges? are there any projectiles attacks that consume power charges? is the amazon's elemental infusion just useless for any skill that isnt lightning?

[fathom dust]

Do I understand it correctly that impale is kind of adding 30% of impaling hit damage to whatever skill hits next? And skills that extract those impales extract only the highest one? Meaning it's good to apply impale with big hit to extract it with smaller faster hits?

[stray gorge]

I realize asking build questions at all is like, f'ing useless. lol
none of y'all have beautiful minded the tree yet

[broken helm]

That is wrong

The new tree is here: https://poe.ninja/poe2/passive-skill-tree/

[stray gorge]

not what i meant but thx. been looking at it'

[broken helm]

My idea for the Permafrost Bolt + Fragmentation Round Tactician. Using Flash Grenade with Pin II support for Stun to Pin conversion and Artillery Ballista.

Been playing it but only in act 4 so far. Plays and "sounds" amazing thanks to freeze shatter.

The bug where the bolts get stuck on weapon swap is the only thing that is bothering. But thanks to Ziz GGG is well aware of the issue.

[halcyon solar]

From LA perspective: let's say a boss isn't directly on a Tornado Shot but a few meters away. Do you then shoot the boss and have the AoE chain to the Tornado OR do you shoot the Tornado?

[halcyon solar]

Can you specify in the Trade menu that an items is supposed to have max 5 affixes? So you can leave room for an Abyssal one?

[broken helm]

@halcyon solar
Filter for modifiers. That should do the trick.

If you are not aware of that feature yet. Always search with "tilde" = ~ as your first sign. It will search for words anywhere in the string.

[golden cradle]

There's a browser extension that does this automatically too 😄 "Path of Exile Trade - Fuzzy Search" Available on Chrome based browsers and Firefox

It simply adds the ~ automatically when you type

[halcyon solar]

If only the ingame Trade Menu wouldn't delete your Searches after a short time...

Do you use the Browser web app and then look up the item ingame?

[golden cradle]

You can always click the "open on website" so have it for later if you need

[broken helm]

Come on. If you are really that much into trade live searches you would run that chrome extension to save all trade searches anyway.

Trade bookmarking is pretty important.

[halcyon solar]

if you setup all the filters for an item and don't find anything yet or do anything else for a few seconds the whole setup is gone

[golden cradle]

Speaking of! The extension "Better PathOfExile Trading" on the Chrome store is soooo good. I think for Firefox there is only the TFT option (yuck )

[limpid fox]

I want to play Chayulah with Hollow Palm. Issue I have is the slow start of the monk and not true chaos skill for mapping.

I was thinking about running hand of Chayulah but it lacks any AoE capabilities like Shattering Palm.

It feels like Chayulah is going for an extra layer of Chaos damage on top of an existing damage base (could be lightning with storm wave or cold with shattering)

It seems like it works only through Volatility and some "as extra Chaos damage". I search a way to get something in the line of Darkflame.

Also Hollow Palm is going Ith a simple node but nothing is reinforcing unarmed in a meaningful way.

As any of you investigate this to get a true Chaos build?

[edgy eagle]

Thoughts on this

[winter vine]

guys primal strike cannot shock ? Its not anywhere on the desc of the skill

[spice quartz]

For demon form, do i need to plan for more HP on gear or Less HP on gear and only Energy shield? Ofc i take all the life regen but I'm not sure about the max hp part.

Also does "recoup life" help me with demon flame damage?

[mental briar]

what does a green unique mean?

[golden cradle]

Think it's a foiled item (like from reliquary keys and such)

[halcyon solar]

what would you take for the belt?

[edgy eagle]

Anyone?

[golden cradle]

Good heavens what a phat belt. I'd probably take the charge gain

[edgy eagle]

First one

[modern socket]

How is Ice Shot doing?
Started as EDC Blood Mage with the intend of switching over to purple Fire Ball but it's not as I hoped to be and want to switch now

[golden cradle]

6% of a few seconds is nothing. Gaining flask charges over time seems better to me. Especially for bosses

[halcyon solar]

yeah, that's what I took. If i mana would matter for me, might have been an option but the inherent Flask effect is quite good.

[tribal surge]

Anyone playing smith of kitava?

I can't figure out why this:

doesn't work with this:

gives me 77% fire res, but stil 75 cold/lightning

i feel like it's gotta be a bug but maybe I'm missing something

[green dust]

Hey,
sorry for the late reply. I just tested it on a boss, rares and other mobs and it seems to work.
I allocated Eroding Chains for 50% Armour Break on Pin as well as a total of 50% increased Armour Break on the Tree. I then used Pin I support as well as Armour Demolisher I support on Fracturing Rounds. Using the latter support the total should result in 50% * 1.5 * 1.5 = 112.5% Armour Break on Pin and the Pin did indeed Break the Armour. Without the latter support however it did not, so I did not have another source that would have caused this effect available.
Also to note is that the Artillery Ballista does not trigger this node as it does not count as you pinning, just in case you wanted to use that.

[halcyon solar]

How much evasion does Dex actually generate?

[static torrent]

By default, Dexterity itself does not provide any Evasion.

[modern socket]

Witchhunter or Deadeye for Galvanic Shard/Shockburst Round Crossbow?

[edgy eagle]

Yeah you are right I didn't notice 0.2 is basically 20% LOL

Can anyone let me know if this is good

[wooden iris]

hey fellas - any known buggs with weapon swaps?

using 2hander mace and shield charge, but sometimes the shield charge just won't work - i have to reset the weapon set setting on the shield charge and rebind it for it to work again :C

[golden cradle]

have you set this on the abilities? (ofc not set for both in your case)

[wooden iris]

thanks for looking into this 🙂

yes i've set all but the shield charge to work with the two hander, and the shield charge to work with the other set

once i get some specific kind of CC (for example the tethered blood on chaos trials), it just stops working even after the CC effect is over

I can't tell what's triggering in maps now, but its happening more often

to fix it i usually open the menu in your screenshot, uncheck the weapon set, and check it again for it to work

[golden cradle]

that's odd, does sound like a bug I'm hoping for a bunch of patchnotes tomorrow personally, lol

[wooden iris]

sadly me too 🥲

[lament oasis]

Alright thanks for letting me know. I was able to test it too and it worked for me. Got 90% increased armour break from nodes, and 13% from a jewel, and then it worked

[winter vine]

I dont understand invoker guys why first node makes u play ES/EV and then Armour ...

[soft wren]

wut?

[soft wren]

there's the EV/ES path and skill speed/dmg, where are you getting armour?

[winter vine]

On the ascendancy first 2 nodes are spirit EV / ES

and then phys damage taken based on armour & evasion but nerf ur evasion

I dont understand this pathing

50% less evasion rating seems huge

[soft wren]

ye

body armour is just your chest piece

not actual the actual armour stat

there are no "armour" nodes on the tree like you're thinking. it's all based on EV and ES. body armour is chest piece

[winter vine]

so as invoker u play ES/EV and u take the last node just to chunk ur EV for phys dmg working on it ?

[dire cave]

essentialy just makes physical damage reduction scale of evasion aswell

[soft wren]

ah. are you following a build? really you just want unbound avatar and whatever else

[winter vine]

im playing HC thats why def is important

and im wondering about this node

[winter vine]

Thanks !

[dire cave]

50% less evasion is a big cut tho

[soft wren]

haven't played invoker since S1 my bad

[winter vine]

np at least u answer me

[dire cave]

specially since you now need around 55K for the so called 90% evade chance

so with that node you would need 110K evasion minimum to be evasion capped

[hard crane]

does this affect the merc grenades?
if so, only the initial "hit" when the nade lands? or also the detonation that follows? (from combining nades)

[winter vine]

well if u want to mitigate phys dmg u dont need the cap I guess

[dire cave]

true but its hard enough as is to get 55-80K evasion

[winter vine]

I wanna do a primal strikes build and was hesitating between ascendancies

Shock ground from invoker seems rly good

[halcyon solar]

can we somehow directly find an item from the Tradesite in the ingame menu?

[grave quartz]

Press /

[fickle thistle]

Can you get more than 3 charm slots?

[halcyon solar]

that's how to open the menu, but not what I asked 😄

[grave quartz]

Yes. that opens the tradesite window. Search whatever you're looking for.

[halcyon solar]

Since PoB only works with the Tradesite, i want to find the item from the Tradesite in the ingame trade menu.

[green dust]

Nice. I made a mistake though. Artillery Ballista works after all. mb

[hot elm]

any strength stacking uniques for warrior?

[lusty surge]

sorry wrong channel

[gaunt mortar]

i wanna know who at ggg tested any of the left side of the tree changes

[old oriole]

hollow palm ritualist?

[fast wind]

any build idea's or options for an infusion sorc? or do i just have to fall in line and use lighting damage again?

[shadow delta]

anyone using Ice Tipped arrows? If so, what are good support gems on it?

[analog mauve]

Hello guys, question on hollow palm ? How does hollow palm scale autoattack? With skills it depends on skill level. How does autoattack gain levels ?

[carmine flicker]

autoattack gain levels with you

like ascendancy skills(infernalist doggy etc)

up to lvl 20 on 90+

[analog mauve]

So I hope they thought about this and autoattack with hollow palm somewhat scales as skills do

[carmine flicker]

well
basic attack is just a skill

you can find it in skill panel

support it there etc

is there any good elemental skill left that you can just use without jumping through all the hoops?

[old oriole]

what are the best supp gems for twister?

[noble token]

i cant find the support gem that broke an enemies armour whev heavy stunning it, did they remove it?

devastate i think it was called

[fallow vector]

Please recommend some good builds for Witch

[noble token]

ed contagion and check ghazzy's guides for minions

[green dust]

Hey,
what exactly does this do? Does it just increase the 20% inc dmg taken by +2% or something else?

[mental briar]

anyone know why barbs 3 "sounds" like it is worse than barbs 2?

does this mean it does thorns 2x per hit, so if a skill was 10 hits it would proc 20 times?

[lime narwhal]

has anyone tried mana leech with the new keystone passive that converts it to elemental damage? wondering if its viable now

[mellow pike]

Is there any minion lighting made build?

[last bolt]

Does Offering Wand (Exsanguinate) actually drop?

[somber tinsel]

For the leather bound gauntlets notable, does the gloves still need evasion rating for it to work or can you go full armor?

[last bolt]

Also how does Rising Tempest function with a spell like Ele weakness which is all elements?

[distant glade]

Is lightning spear still good ?

[pseudo wasp]

I think the tier 3 supports are more like sidegrades than straight upgrades. It's weird that they've named them the way they have.

Though if I had to guess, I'd say that barbs 3 is intended for slower attacking builds.

[mental briar]

Ahh I get you ones that cant expend the 6 hits immediately before getting new stacks

From what I tested it does only proc 2x per ability click

[devout dew]

its not letting me join the Deadeye chat channel 🙁

im trying to see and get help

if between Lighting Deadeye or Lighting Arrow Invoker - a build i can follow

[serene minnow]

any clever way to generate endurance charges to sustain mass spawning totems ?

[honest grail]

while clearing you can get a lot with supports that grant them from armour break and heavy stun

while bossing you can generate two per use of perfect strike with the new support that grants one and two 50% chance to gain an extra charge soul cores

[haughty knoll]

Hey fellas, we got any updates on what the best Witch builds are, so far?

[carmine flicker]

comet or bonestorm for generic one button caster?
can't decide

[rocky thicket]

hello new player here. I play a witch and i finished act4. I am looking for a good solid build for interlude/endgame. Does anyone have a good advise?

[carmine flicker]

if you are ok with minions then gelid zealot(eye of winter) spectres are good, as are frost or storm mages

[devout mural]

Hey y'all. I'm trying to get a build going for toxic growth pathfinder. What would you need to roll for on a bow early acts to late acts? +Phys, attack speed, crit? Would you go for crit nodes in the tree at all?

[modern socket]

Are Lightning Spear Build dead in 0.3?

[rocky thicket]

i do not like minions that much. Other good builds for beginner?

[carmine flicker]

ed/c lich? I mean, it works

[raven plume]

what are good classes to build with buckler

i was playing witch and found a buckler i wanna make a parry build

[rocky thicket]

i play essence drain with contagion but it feels very slow and a bit borring

[carmine flicker]

well, it's one of the best "spell" build rn afaik, other casters would be slower

[river schooner]

so regarding freeze buildup on Permafrost rounds, do I want to balance dmg and freeze buildup or technically i can just go full buildup? Trash mobs get frozen anyway, but I want bosses to get frozen more often too

i guess just swap out fork for cold pen or something else before a boss fight will do

[carmine flicker]

for bosses you want mostly to burst them during freeze
so may be more damage and freeze duration would be better?

[river schooner]

for clear the damage is indeed almost not "desirable" since you want to consume freezes

[river schooner]

oh ya deep freeze is an option, yeah

although not really. i dont have dedicated singletarget skills so i dont burst

i just consume the freeze for a huge damage instance

so i would want FREQUENT freezes, not long ones

but temporary ailment immunity gets in the way

[carmine flicker]

bosses have too much "cooldown" between being frozen for my taste

time when freeze buildup do not build

[river schooner]

yep. so i guess a burst-down skill setup would be nice. i just hate armorbreak+high velocity for some reason

any other options for burst-downs? crossbow bolts only

[carmine flicker]

so yeah, I prefer to burst them during freeze(I play minions atm tho, frost mages and cold spectres)

[carmine flicker]

idk, didn't play crossbows

[valid geode]

Anyone got a cool Demon Form build ?

[carmine flicker]

it's just like any caster build, but 30% more damage, so yeah, use w/e spell you like

[river schooner]

maybe i should just add plasma blast for bosses lol

[old falcon]

Any1 know if I can reduce Magma Barrier's charge time? I am using compressed duration, but doesn't seem to do anything.

[stark steeple]

hello, I would just like to ask how dual element works on attacks? Will ice strike dmg increase if I equip hand of wisdom and action and stack int?

[north heart]

How does deadeye lightning arrow compare to mortar cannon merc? Heard pin was op

[halcyon solar]

Is this worth slotting in for Deadeye?

[dusky stirrup]

Hi everyone
A bit stupid question, but I feel like it became harder to find crit chance, especially on bottom side of tree

In PoE1 we had at least one "damage" cluster and one "crit" cluster for every weapon, but now, with "one cluster per weapon" it's really scarce. Like, it's one crit cluster near warrior, for anything else you need to either go up into witch zone or maybe even right, to monk-huntress zone

Or it's just because tree is unfinished and we later will have much easier access to crit chance?

[echo ice]

Literally came here to ask if anyone has a good freeze based merc build I have more fun freezing and shattering than the typical lightning run through so would be good to know of a freeze build if someone has it

[mint meadow]

Looking at poe2.ninja. Looks like same stuff as in the past

Anybody got a new build

[tired wolf]

Not sure if this is the right place for this. But can someone tell me what’s the best minion to use for my leveling portion of the game on my lich. Mostly for slight damage and taking damage as well. Mostly the taking damage part though.

[echo ice]

I just picked up mist whisper crossbow in act 2 and it makes the glacial so much fun

[carmine flicker]

what lvls?

[river schooner]

yeah permafrost+frag has been working great for me so far, but im not in endgame yet. poeninja has a couple of good builds + wudijo's running it (as witchhunter)

[tired wolf]

I’m currently lvl 49

Just wondering if I should stick with regular skeles or is there something better.

[carmine flicker]

but in general frost mages
their new active is REALLY good and they freeze everything, so you are way more safe

[tired wolf]

Ok awesome. Thank you twice!

[carmine flicker]

one storm for shock is good too

if you want to go minion heavy you can go gelid zealot spectres

but must grab them while you can in the "past" part of act 3

idk if you can go there again

(they throw eye of winter all over the place, they fly offscreen and freeze things everywhere at random)

[carmine flicker]

twice is too much, thanking once would be enough

[quiet forge]

what's a good way of injecting a lot of attack speed? I'm using RA2 + Rage3 rn but it's like, barely enough

[halcyon shale]

hey guys, you know the new stat, 'armour applies to elemental damage'? can that go over 100%? so if you stack it can you have 150% of armour applies to elemental dmg etc?

[river schooner]

also have they changed exposure icons or what? when im at poe2db, i can't find the one i saw in game lol

[sour basin]

are there any new uniques focused around remnants/infusions?

[sour basin]

frenzy charges?

[sacred pelican]

can we copy paste items from in game market to PoB?

[viscid radish]

There should be a copy button on the trade website

[echo ice]

Do all the weapon state you have (eg chain, cold damage) translate to ballistas?

[viscid radish]

Just need to paste that while you're adding new gear in PoB and save it

[sacred pelican]

can't see it?

[viscid radish]

Might have to check event where... Haven't logged onto PoE in ages

[hazy veldt]

Mental toughness used to reduce mana costs, now what the hell does the node do now that they changed it?

[static plinth]

Same thing but it cant hit 0

100% increased efficiency is half costs

I think its less powerful but im ngl idk how to calc efficiency off the top of my head

[formal silo]

Does magnified area effect tame beast aura?

[hazy veldt]

It doesn't seem to be nearly as good

[carmine flicker]

idk about over 100%, but it's in general kinda bad stat since it applies before res

[carmine flicker]

well, by itself it's better now

1/1.25=0.8

[halcyon shale]

im trying to make a sorcery ward build work with witch hunter, so i defend with all my armour against hits on the sorcery ward. what do you think? https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/rtubn0q8

with cloak of flame the sorcery ward becomes phys ward too

basically i have all my totem nodes on one weapon set, and all my defensive nodes on my crossbow set, and i use the crossbow with armour breaking rounds to break armour over and over for endurance charges for ancestral warrior totem
but im not confident that im doing my defenses right
i tried taking every single 'armour applies to x' node, and all the 'defend with 200% armour' etc.

since it will then be absorbed by the sorcery ward

if i understand it right, i can make use of the 'defend with 200% armour from further than 6m away' and 'defend with 200% armour against crits' so suddenly i can defend with 200% armour against the most bursty things in the game, or potentially 400%

[hazy veldt]

And have you tried it?

[near ermine]

Hey i have a question, why do in almost all monks people take the "and i sunder" ascendency wich alows crit to ignore resistances, when their is an item "beacon of azis solar amulet" wich does the exact same thing for one chance orb. Whats the difference ? Wouldnt it save you two ascendency point to just take the amulet instead ?

[carmine flicker]

no
and also it's worse cause it's now "on low mana" unlike before

[potent quest]

I'm playing tacitican, gonna prob go armor/ev. What str/dex do I go for?

more str for life early?

[thin basin]

flat % better or "dmg as extra" better?

[woeful minnow]

is there literally any reason to take controlled chaos node (max 30 volatility) as a chayula monk? it feels like a strict downgrade

[halcyon solar]

The Abyssal map affixes seem to just make maps harder without any upside.

[potent quest]

I think all affixes increase drops

or monster packs

[north heart]

Now what’s better tactician Merc or deadeye Merc.. cause I wanan try out pin..

[carmine flicker]

no reason to go armour/eva
pure eva is better now

[potent quest]

I can get more deflect that way?

[carmine flicker]

yeah, a lot more

[potent quest]

I'm a poe1 player, this is all very confuse

thank

[carmine flicker]

I'm poe1 player too

but you can get like 100% eva rating to deflect with gear and tree

[potent quest]

epic

[carmine flicker]

most important part of that node is "100% eva to ailment threshold" anyway

jumping from "need 3000 damage to be frozen" to "need 25k" is huge

[barren sigil]

Is it possible to respec the attribute nodes in poe2 as i messed up and need respec back quite far but I can’t?

[carmine flicker]

it's possible

[woeful minnow]

at respec screen just click the att nodes

[summer pasture]

Yes if you go to the respec just click the node

[halcyon solar]

If you activate a Breach. Would the monsters, which normally populate the map be additional to the Breach mobs if you don't clear first?

[barren sigil]

Thanks my dumbass figured it out that u had to clear the previous nodes connected to the attribute nodes

[carmine flicker]

numbers on the node are better
node itself isn't

[woeful minnow]

again though, is there any actual benefit to capping my volatility stacks at 30 when the tooltip says they go to 200?

[hazy veldt]

You should only give advice if you know what you're talking about.

[carmine flicker]

I said that 25% mana cost efficiency is better than 15% reduced mana cost
not about anything else regarding that node

[halcyon shale]

do you think as a general rule it would be better to be immune to poison or immune to bleed?

poison right since its chaos?

[atomic halo]

seems a lot of poison from abyss

so i would definetely get that

[halcyon shale]

oh very true

ty

[mellow shale]

If I use the flame dress that has 40% of phys damage taken as fire, does armor then resist the remainder based on 60% of damage (= armor does much better)?

[summer pasture]

Bane of my thorns build atm, to much chaos degen pools

[lofty peak]

Does the "20% increased bonuses gained from equipped quiver" also affect the sufixes and prefixes it can get?

[potent quest]

spirit on chest only from all gear?

any base?

[frozen pagoda]

fellas where does the rathas assault lineage support drop from? is it a random drop or boss drop

[tribal kayak]

What are some good skills that are essential for a ritualist physical poison build?

[quiet forge]

solar amulet

[potent quest]

right

[quiet forge]

yep

[mellow shale]

Thanks, should go well with sorcery ward

[halcyon solar]

Does the map you are using matter when visiting a trader node?

[atomic halo]

yes

[halcyon solar]

so is this actually rare and the item is gonna be not like the generic unique crap?

[dusky wadi]

Are bows considered one handed or two handed?

[woeful minnow]

2 handed

[halcyon solar]

I'd like to see someone shoot a bow one handed LOL

one of the very few weapons you absolutely can't shoot one handed 😂

[woeful minnow]

https://tenor.com/view/archery-archer-paralympics-rising-phoenix-official-trailer-gif-18189692

[halcyon solar]

i was picturing smth like this when i wrote that. More like mounting the bow and pulling with 1h.

but this is quite imaginative

[lofty peak]

: O

[celest oxide]

Hey Sorry for Ping but I searched Siege Cascade on discord and saw you were playing it/the only one mentioning it I was wondering how it was going for you? O

[dusky wadi]

my friend is arguing that the arrow is not considered part of a bow hence the quiver, so they are considered two seperate weapons >.>

[woeful minnow]

quivers are storage containers for arrows, like a sheath. they are inextricably linked and thus "one weapon"

[fleet ice]

Im going bloodmage fireball... and im looking at people on the ladder with the same build. Alot of them dont even take chaos res on their gear. Is there something i have missed about that ?

[nimble hound]

WH or Tactician for Crossbow build? I see WH higher on Leaderboard but not sure if that is realistic, and most of those high Tacticians are group bots for banner

[halcyon solar]

eh... that's like saying an ammo box is a weapon

[nimble hound]

lol

[dusky wadi]

true

[halcyon solar]

wow so worth it 🤦

I really don't understand why they simply can't make your average unique a "good" item.

smth that would be good if you didn't have a really juiced rare.

but 99% are just absolute garbage

[halcyon shale]

if there werent bad uniques there wouldnt be good uniques

😄

[keen leaf]

Is this node on passive tree important?
I dont know if im reading this right:
Projectile speed = Bow Damge increase? Is it 1:1? for example:
20% proj speed = 20% bow damage?

[halcyon solar]

it's a staple in many builds

[woeful minnow]

yes.

[halcyon solar]

Heres an example with base damage 10, (20% + 10% + 15%) increased and 20% more.

Projectile speed = (base speed) * (increased) * (more)
Projectile speed = 10 * (1+0.2+0.1+0.15) * 1.2 = 17.4
Projectile speed = 10 * 1.45 * 1.2 = 17.4

If that 20% more there was calculated the same as increased it would be

Projectile speed = 10 * 1.65 = 16.5

this is from reddit. Seems like it's quite substantial

[tulip fog]

in Path of Building, how do you swap between the different weapon-set modes for passives?

[halcyon solar]

However after reading it it still doesn't tell you how much dmg you get out of it.

[fading sorrel]

does anyone know do i count as stationary while lightning warping?

[tulip fog]

im not certain if it works, but you could try to click the "never move while using this skill" option in the skillpanel when having lightning warp selected

see if that works

[celest oxide]

Chat do I reroll to deadeye and follow Rue's build even though I just finished act 3 only or do I keep rolling with tact and hope someone posts a build I like that isn't mortar totem spam

[serene minnow]

will this interaction makes Jagged Ground not be consumed(Erupted) by shockwave totems ?

[fading sorrel]

@tulip fog where do i enable that

[tulip fog]

Press G to open skill panel, then press the little arrow at the side of the skill and you will get a stats panel, then at the bottom, you should see that option if it exists

[fading sorrel]

i dont have that mybe bec im wasd

[tulip fog]

i am also WASD

but im not using lightning warp either, so maybe lightning warp dont have that option

[fading sorrel]

none of my spells has that

[tulip fog]

ok, the only other option that works the same way would be to hold down shift while using lightning warp

if that still doesnt count as stationary then nothing will work

[mortal bison]

Anyone playing Jung's BL deadeye? I can't for the life of me figure out why elemental invocation won't cast living bomb when I shock with ball lightning. Jung was talking about numlocking it but I don't get why you'd need to numlock a spirit reservation skill

[quiet forge]

Invocation
you're aware you need to trigger it manually right

[mortal bison]

I was not

That would be it then

[quiet forge]

Look into Cast on Elemental Ailment. That one is auto

[summer pasture]

Yes

[finite cypress]

Isn't invocation one that you need to bind and use yourself to cast all socketed skills?
Numlock thing sounds like a way to make game think you have it pressed all the time

[summer pasture]

Not sure why youd want to do that

[serene minnow]

wouldnt it mean you always get the after shock damage from shockwave totems ?

easier than spamming earthquake to feed the totems

[quiet forge]

I'm considering putting brink onto flash grenade so I can use staggering palm with 100% consistency. But slots are tight rn

that's at least a reason why

[summer pasture]

You should still get aftershocks regardless if a jagged ground was popped

[summer pasture]

Was talking to lenin

[dusky wadi]

i dunno why but this league starter lightning arrow build suggests i use chain 1...in early game, i dunno why, it just makes clear feel worse cause of the 50% less damage

[serene minnow]

ah so its not consumed, the jagged ground stays for the duration

[quiet forge]

talking conceptually

it's just an example

[halcyon solar]

the game should REALLY still indicate Tier 2+ items even after identifying. It matters quite a lot for crafting if you have a T4.

Or is that just for the initial stats and for further crafting you don't have a higher roll chance?

[tribal kayak]

what are some good skills to use with the wand wicked quill and ritualist?

[muted umbra]

Are there any good ascendancies, outside of Infernalist, that are good for minions nowadays?

[halcyon solar]

Lich

[summer pasture]

Just don't hop in the well

[halcyon solar]

I only saw that in the trailer once

[summer pasture]

It removes all the minion stuff and wants you sacrifice minions to buff your damage

[celest hinge]

Which one better Lich or deadeye builds ?

[quiet forge]

where can I find the effects of the well on ascendancies?

or is it just her

[fading silo]

im tryna see what’s better do i go plague bearer, ravenous swarm, or herald of blood/thunder ( im using lighting and poisonburst arrow , ranger)

[summer pasture]

Just her

But poe2db has it called abyssal lich

[halcyon solar]

it's statistically proven that 100% of deaths in Ritual are players getting stuck and hit by the tornado.

[craggy plank]

anyone have a good idea of the "best/better" spectra minion should be? and where to get it?

[halcyon solar]

consult yt for that.
last patch is was the Vaal grenade dude.

that made you see none of the game anymore

[craggy plank]

lol, okay. thank you =]

[tulip fog]

in Path of Building, how do you swap between the different weapon-set modes for allocating passives?

[halcyon solar]

Is it effectively better to do the nodes around a corruption in corrupted or cleansed state?

i can only remember smth with merging 2 items with that ressource from cleansed maps

[tulip fog]

cleansed maps can drop fracturing orbs and corrupted maps can drop specific unique items (dont remember whichone off the top of my head)

[stray gorge]

does PoB have all the subclasses yet?

poe1 vet coming hot into 2 for the first time... so getting an idea of wtf is going on lol

[split stump]

Which warrior guide to play?

[serene minnow]

does this work in game or is it just pob ? the green points are not conected when on that weapon set

[atomic halo]

that does not work

you can't have swap points depending on points from the other set

or else it would be broken and disconnected if you tried to swap

[serene minnow]

alright makes sense

[broken wing]

is abyssal Lich a permanent variant for lich ?

[native surge]

Err for this league yeah

[broken wing]

cuz some say after league you can still access it

[native surge]

After this

Who knows

[native surge]

Idk if this has been confirmed

[broken wing]

ah

[wild kiln]

Can anyone recommend a skill to replace Eye of Winter? I need something that attacks from a distance and deals critical damage. Eye of Winter fired quite a lot of projectiles and had a decent chance of critical hits, but in the current patch they added a 15-second cooldown, and I need to be able to crit at least once every 3 seconds (I don't care about the type of elemental damage or the power of the ability, just the crit chance and at least once every 3 seconds).

[vagrant sedge]

which is a better wand for corruption+ energy drain witch

[celest oxide]

Is Siege Cascade worth building around still?

[slim oxide]

So, as a Lightning arrow user, surely the right one is better right?

Do I want lightning dmg on my bow? or do I just want pure phys and let that be converted?

Wanted to make sure before I spend all my currency buying lightning dmg rune (or do I go phys rune here?)

[echo ice]

Anyone got some suggestions? https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/profile/966a1514-5f65-4162-b9c7-b3024be61e02/builds/57dbaff8-e629-48db-9bfa-8574fa9b0768

[celest tinsel]

can i allocate hollow palm using this gem?

[quiet forge]

No.

[silver sigil]

Does spellslinger cast count as invocation spell?

[halcyon solar]

Have Essences become absolutely worthless? even yesterday i flipped them for a load of money and now you get nothing for it.

[celest tinsel]

flippa

[halcyon solar]

Does it matter at all what map you use when visiting a Trader Node?

You can skip the Greater Jeweller's +1 with a Perfect one making it still 6, right?

[trim snow]

Can anyone help me with my archer build I'll buy wateva is needed !

[balmy fable]

Ele weak should improve bleed damage off ele skills right? Since the base hit is higher with enemy having lower res?

[carmine flicker]

bleed scale with pre-mitigation

so no

[balmy fable]

ah rip

[halcyon shale]

does anyone know of an easy (ish) way to export a maxroll build planner to PoB? want to do some calcs but i have 100 weapon set passives and dont have it in me to put them in AGAIN

[balmy fable]

ah but it scales with crit because crit is pre-mit

jesus that's weird

guess only good option for bleed cu rse is temp chains then

[static plinth]

Anyone tried Molten Blast this patch?

Since they fixed the always moving forward thing

[carmine flicker]

well. that's good cause ele res don't reduce bleed tho

[halcyon shale]

only on my Ancestral warrior totems which are bugged so i had to do something else

[carmine flicker]

bugged?

[halcyon shale]

yeah they instantly despawn when you weapon swap

known issue but requires server restart patch

[tropic onyx]

is perfect strike builds not popular anymore? is it because the long windup? im thinking of doing a dual element perfect strike build

[stark kettle]

Anyone know why I can't post in the "Church of the Stormweaver" thread? It keeps giving me this error

[balmy fable]

yeah

does mean one less way to scale tho

[halcyon solar]

Does this only go up when i keep holding down the button or can i take pauses or even use another skill as long as I don't roll?

or does it immediately fade when I stop firing?
oh it constantly charges without doing anything. Now that's actually pretty damn good.

[hot elm]

warrior windblast I have endurance charges and no way to spend them any uses?

[fast yew]

Hey, quick question.
If i'm not using weapon swap can i follow the red line?

[west pumice]

Warcry cooldown skipping, and ancestral cry lasts alot longer. Im gonna get atleast 5 endurance so i can run beast mode for awhile

[marble tulip]

Can someone link me up with a good minion build

[topaz estuary]

does cooldown reduction work on wind dancer?
or is there a different way to make the stages go faster?

[halcyon solar]

I got a T11 map from a T11 boss. That's not how it works?! 😄

[sly tinsel]

is rapid attack 3 good for ice strike?

[versed tundra]

If I take this node and kill 1 enemy, it spreads 1 stack of poison to nearby enemies, but if I kill 2 enemies within a pack, it should spread to everyone else in the pack?

What does "60% increased effect of poison on targets not afflicted by poison" actually mean?

Does it affect magnitude, duration, or both?

[balmy fable]

Anybody know if bloodhounds mark works with enduring impact

tested: the answer is no

was trying to figure out if there's a secret tech for generating endus on bosses on a bleed build

but there isnt sadly

[spice quartz]

For demon form, do i need to plan for more HP on gear or Less HP on gear and only Energy shield? Ofc i take all the life regen but I'm not sure about the max hp part.

Also does "recoup life" help me with demon flame damage?

[balmy fable]

i wonder if there's a way to hit yourself for eternal resilience

[celest oxide]

Is there a best/safest venom draft to take?

[balmy fable]

@carmine flicker have you messed with serpents egg? Any idea if it give you +1 charge of the type generated, or a random one?

[minor tree]

bro wtf ancient warrior totems despawn on weapon swap???

just unlocked them, been using resonating shield to get endurance charges and they immediately despawn, it's so ass x)

i guess the armor break on herald of blood is for charge gen w/ resonance

[hot elm]

alright you cookingg

[west pumice]

My fire warrior is cruising through campaign. Just beat Act 4 now torching these bosses in the interludes. Havent died since like mid act 2 lol.

Forge hammer is so good. Especially tempered with smith of kitava and adding mass dmg.

Being able to pump up elemental dmg with armour is insanely strong. Thousands of dps with a few nodes

[woeful sundial]

anyone else having their respecs not actually go through

it just reverts back after like 2 minutes somehow

[balmy fable]

do we know if rathpith + crown of eyes still works

i wish glacial lance wasnt just

strictly worse than rake for bleeding bosses lmao

did blood hunt + impale get the nerfbat

oh yeah

it doesnt do unscalable damage anymore

Anyone got a good early game atlas?

I went to Rare monster duplicate

[white sky]

guys if i get this mastery with this weapon, is all fire damage converted to chaos damage? or is the weapon useless?

[wind swan]

i have a question about Contagion / Essence Drain.
As far as i understand, when a mob with c/ed on it dies, it spreads to the mobs around, but c and ED deal MORE (up to 300% from base damage) damage if it was spread.

What if i now "recast" c + ed by hand on these mobs? Do the dots now deal less damage (the base damage) again?

[flat star]

ED does not deal more damage, just c deals more. Both spread

so the answer is it doesn't really matter because c doesn't do any damage anyway

[mystic osprey]

does the shapeshifting cluster in passive tree increase attack damage for only shapeshifting or all attacks?

[static torrent]

Read the stat, it's just generic 'Attack damage', so it works on all Attacks

Is sacrifice unable to be used with only 1 weapon set?

[atomic halo]

yep

must be avaliable for both

same for blink and convalescence

[white sky]

could anyone answer me please?

[static torrent]

All the Fire Spells will convert 100% of Fire Damage to Chaos. This will mean that the 74% increased Fire Damage on the Staff will do nothing, as increases apply only to the final damage type. Damage as Extra Fire will still work, the rest of the stats should still work as well.

[leaden current]

i'm currently doing an ice strike build (lvl 30 atm) and want to transition to eletric but I don't know if I am even able to do it without having charge staff or like combat frenzy like do I just wait a bit until 31 and try to get a t9? (invoker monk) I apologize if this is the wrong channel. something like tempest flurry or storm wave could be fun?

[mental briar]

Are tempered runes no longer in the game?

[static torrent]

I don't believe they ever dropped.

are you sure about this? it might take the fire damage and count it, then convert

[atomic halo]

i think you get 2 for doing all the interludes

no

when modifiers/skills refer to the defences on an item

it only checks for whatever the item itself says (local mods+base), and ignores global modifiers like stuff on the tree

i really need help on getting a better crossbow for a grenade build if anyone would be nice enough to help?
this is current and its pretty good but was thinking is much higher physical with % elemental damage to attacks better?

pob doesnt need to be updated, you can see what weapon is better for your skill

Anyone know why Explosive Shot immediatly removes Fully Broken Armor even without Weakness Exploit?

[balmy fable]

I... don't get how people are using herald of blood + armor break setup to generate charges

its so inconsistent

It isnt a matter of damage output

because the damage dealt is based on blood loss
