[balmy fable]

so enemies just... dont have enough hp to fully break each others armor

[steel wyvern]

is it me or is evasion worse than before?

with mediocre gear at least

everything hits me

for half my health..

[mental briar]

Bramble lvl 5 support skill for thorns is absolute ass

Cant even take 50% of a white mob with almost 20 brambles (the max)

Whoever designed it really did not tweak the numbers

[teal pollen]

it doesnt work properly at the moment because the scaling of the grenades is different from previous patch im pretty syure

[candid hollow]

grenades are the same, totems changed

[open crow]

Trying to play Amazon and debating on switching to deadeye as I cannot get frenzy charges unless running kitoko and then it sucks and cast on only working with spells doesn’t help. Any ideas or should I just switch

[balmy fable]

Parry is the main way

or combat frenzy

[distant glade]

anyone playing huntress? having a hard time finding anything better than just playing twister on my ritualist. its fine its just kinda akward to play

[balmy fable]

there's some tech with herald of blood too if ur playing bleed, but i cant get it to work right so

[ember arrow]

does anyone knows how it works for triggered/meta skills with weapon passive points? more specifically with witchhunter weapon master node, which tree will be considered when triggering?

[true sphinx]

Hey, can ignited ground crit? Incinerate lists its ignited ground component as having crit chance and crit damage

[open hinge]

has anyone tryed making a chaos fissure build with the fire to chaos keystone or would that be to far away for a decent build

[charred laurel]

Has anyone verified if ricochet works with galvanic shards this league? It looks like it doesn't.

[naive saffron]

Anyone help me get 4th ascend?

[celest tinsel]

Do we have any good leech options for elemental attacks?
It feels so shit

[exotic sleet]

where can i see wether a skill deals physical or fire / lightning / ice damage???

[forest laurel]

best witch ascendacy?

running a chaos damage lich rn and it feels amazing using blackflame covenant

[placid verge]

What would pair well with my duo running lightning deadeye?

[violet condor]

Anyone here know if damage scales with specters? For example if I have a specter that does chaos damage, would any extra chaos I have from the passive tree increase the damage of the specter as well?

[dusty viper]

Quick question. Is yolk of suffering a solid dps boost?

[rain dust]

I want to make a skill trigger as many aftershocks as possible with just 1 use

For a titan forge hammer build

[balmy fable]

man im kinda thinking concoct + ambrosia is NOT worth running over something else

concoct is like

67% bleed magnitude

which is a lot tbf

but like... you could just get straight more damage

especially because concoct and ambrosia are doing nothing after thef irst 3 rakes

bleed problems i guess

[true sphinx]

Is there a channel here or a separate discord where people actually answer questions? Or know anything about the game

[viral sage]

how to gain power charge if i want use amazon elemental surge nodes to gain 'cold surges'?

[balmy fable]

here, but most people are just playing

and no, i dont believe ignited ground can crit

[true sphinx]

So this is a UI error or an oversight or what?

[teal dock]

my skeleton hypemen

[balmy fable]

you can use resonance + parry or combat frenzy, though you wont get frenzies then

[balmy fable]

uh not sure then

maybe it can crit

i would expect it not to but i havent tested myself

[true sphinx]

I'm losing my mind trying to figure out how I would even test it

Because Incinerate, and presumably other pseudo-hits, can crit... But don't proc 'on crit' effects because it isn't a critical hit

[balmy fable]

yeah, im not sure on that one sorry

[viral sage]

yeah..thats the only way i can think of..long way to go tho

[balmy fable]

theres opportunity cost no matter what for charges in poe2

[subtle gust]

What are the primary weapons for sorceress? Is it primarily staves?

[teal dock]

Wands, staves

crossbows if you feel fancy

I saw a chronomancer use a maul at some point

[dim carbon]

anyone know a good support to replace the removed Devastate? im looking at the other armor break related runes but im having trouble finding something decent

[dusky wadi]

question, do extra projectiles actually straight up increase dps? cause i got a new bow that has higher dps but it doesnt shoot two arrows, would that be an overall dps downgrade or no?

[rain dust]

I want to make a skill trigger as many aftershocks as possible with just 1 use

[sharp garden]

is 24% increased spell damage or 18% damage gained as extra better

[rain dust]

Any help?

[bronze surge]

New POE2 player. Im playing Grenades Witchhunter. I'm on my second ascension. Do i get Decimating Strike (Judge, Jury, Executioner) or Zealous Inquisition?

[subtle gust]

So wand and focus isn't just for witch?

[balmy fable]

depends on the skill

[balmy fable]

uhhhhhhhh

well forge hammer is a lot of fissures to shock, then you can use the runny boy skill maybe

[dusky wadi]

lightning arrow

[teal dock]

nope, you can use any weapon on any class 👌

[viral sage]

https://poe2db.tw/us/Parry if i go full on parry build..i can just get evasion to increase physical dmg from parrying?

[mystic dirge]

Anyone tell me why Convalesence is saying I don't got enough spirit in otherr weapon set? I only use 1 weapon set and I got 110 spirit when I only need 95

[cedar aspen]

Does anyone who uses Supercharge Slam know if Rapid Attacks speeds up the charge time too?

I want to try this instead of HotG as my single target play

[full wraith]

how would one build a Rake Bloodmage now? cant find any relevant 0.3 information

i still see a bunch of people on poe2ninja use it

but no idea how to go about building it

[devout dew]

i was just looking for help if anyone could help me with getting the skillgems i need for a specific build im trying to do

[simple cloud]

Can anyone here explain how "Armor applies to elemental damage" works with normal elemental resistances?

[craggy plank]

why do quite a few guides for the witch minion build say spector is bugged? what is bugged about it?

[lone wave]

It's hard to decide what build to use with Smith's Masterwork.

If I chose a slams/ancestral build, I'd use Titan. A stuns build, also Titan.
If I chose an armor breaker, totems, warcries, or shield focused build, I'd use Warbringer.
If I chose a fire build, I'd be using Smith of Kitava, but not Smith's Masterwork, as I'd be spending my points on HotF, AtA, and I wouldn't want to use Masterwork without enough points in it.
I'm expecting the other strength character to have ascension for thorns and rage builds.

[quick axle]

Does damage snapshot your stats or is it dynamic?

[mystic dirge]

What are some recommened support gems for Demon form?

[olive compass]

"Armour also apply to fire damage". What does this node means? Does it means the more Armour i have the more Fire dmg i do?

[fathom rover]

is stuff like this good for builds that convert a lot of damage to ele or still better off with phys rolls?

[feral heath]

Are there any good embrace the darkness path of Chayula builds?

[ocean marsh]

You and 1 other person are playing chayula good luck

[raw depot]

does anyone know if shard scavenger refills grenade cooldown charges on active mortar cannons?

[drifting burrow]

Has anyone tried the retaliate support gem? Is it actually viable?

[steady birch]

is CI possible to whatever build if you really just like forgetting about resistances or some builds, maybe warrior isn't really applicable to such?

[atomic halo]

struggling to parse this

[steady birch]

is CI possible whatever build you like or technically has limitation to builds like warrior since they don't use ES?

actually not sure if warrior does not

[atomic halo]

well, the main limitation is that if you're in the wrong area, it can get very hard to get inc es on the tree

which will heavily curtail your scaling

so a warrior can go ci, it just needs to path all the way there

which is somewhat inefficient

you can still do it, you just need a good reason why you want both warrior and ci

same thing for say, merc, you just have to path very far

[steady birch]

i see i usually like to play melee but the fast kind so def not warrior, haven't played poe1

currently using monk, can you predict where is the upcoming sword/dagger class starting area on P will be? or is that another random until we see the update? i wonder if CI is viable for those classes too

[atomic halo]

we are probably getting druid next

after that, duelist is sword and shadow is dagger

which will come first, whether they will be able to fit 2 classes into 0.4.0 maybe, all i have no idea

so shadow is monk starting location, ci is very viable

duelist is merc starting location, somewhat harder

but of course you can play any weapon type on any class

if i wanted to do sword ci, i would try to just do a class closer to top of tree for efficient pathing (as opposed to duelist)

[steady birch]

icic, was the gameplay for example monk, very similar to the skills to how it was on poe1? can i already see the gameplay from poe1 and judge if i will like it?

[atomic halo]

monk does not exist in poe1

all the quarterstaff monk stuff is brand new to poe2

[steady birch]

i see thanks for the explanation

[raw depot]

poe1 is diablo 2, poe 2 is darksouls, they game play feel is very different

[atomic halo]

and it's very hard to compare poe1 and poe2 playstyles even with a matching build

poe1 maces are miles away from poe2 maces, not even comparable

they are just way too different esp in terms of gameplay

[steady birch]

i guess gotta wait for them to see if i will actually like them

[raw depot]

have you tried flicker strike yet?

[stark dome]

does the molten one's gift give the fire damage bonus through the debuff, or as a passive for fire hits against targets with the debuff? like if i put it on my weapon 2 skill tree to use with my armour break skill, will it give the bonus to fire damage when using a fire damage skill on the weapon 1 tree where i dont have tmog allocated?

[pseudo wasp]

From the way fully broken armour is described, it seems like a debuff on the enemy so you should be able to break their armour with the TMoG weapon set's tree then switch to the other tree to take advantage of the debuff. I can't fully confirm it, but I'm 90% sure it would work like that, since it also seems like how GGG would want it to work.

[stark dome]

nice! could be good for group play as well if it does work like that

[north talon]

Do we not get 10% chaos res as a quest reward anymore in 0.3.0?

[steady birch]

how do you compare weapons again without being able to equip them? just PoB?

[orchid narwhal]

Is trinity worth it if you just do one element? 9% more damage is 9% more damage right?

[sterile furnace]

you want to spend that much spirit just for 9% damage?

[atomic halo]

it's called trinity, not... monoty

[orchid narwhal]

I'm on tactician with half spirit cost. Trying to figure out what to spend it on.

[atomic halo]

the supports can be really useful

[sterile furnace]

even a tame beast is better

[orchid narwhal]

Mirage archer getting reset on dodge roll makes it hard to use.

[north talon]

Just don't dodge roll

[sterile furnace]

60 (before discount) spirit for haste aura, or a temporal bubble, or 12% life as ES etc is pretty good

sure as hell better than 9% damage from trinity

[stark dome]

tame beast doesn't benifit from the tact discount, but it's still better damage per spirit with haste aura than trinity with only one element

[sterile furnace]

oh because it's not "persistent"?

[orchid narwhal]

Sprint makes you dodge roll

[smoky stratus]

Temporal Chains says it doesnt affect monsters above X level. How do I raise that level?

[stark dome]

it needs both the persistent and buff tags; tame beast is missing the buff tag

[sterile furnace]

gem level

[sterile furnace]

there's a weapon swap tech that assign only mirage archer to one weapon set, but i guess not every build can use that tech fluidly

[smoky stratus]

oh duh... ty

[orchid narwhal]

I didn't think of that. Thanks! I am weapon swapping for totems and everything else. Still have to figure out what to put on the other set then.

[sterile furnace]

did you also know that you can actually use the same weapon for both weapon set ?

you can right click the I/II icon and make both slots use the same weapon

[orchid narwhal]

Yep. Thank you. That's what I'm doing. The reload bug is annoying though.

[sterile furnace]

then assign say, your totems and mirage archer to II, your attacks to I, you drop your totems (puts you in second set), you dodge roll for your archer, you start shooting, then you are on on set I and can dodge roll all you want and not trigger the mirage archer CD

[sterile furnace]

that's what ratha's assault is for

each dodge roll gives you three bolts

i hope this game won't melt my gpu

[orchid narwhal]

what's the point of having a higher level mirage archer?

I see no difference other than stat requirements going up.

[sterile furnace]

apparently per poe2db, nothing?

[grim mountain]

anyone know of a way to mitigate my crossbow deciding not to reload

[orchid narwhal]

You have to manually reload if you interrupted it, or as Tenovin just said, use Ratha's Assault.

[grim mountain]

thank you!

[rapid star]

I think I understood this node wrong
I thought if I only put one skill in an Invocation meta skill, it would repeat that skill every 2 seconds untill it run out of energy, but it just casts one

[plush kiln]

theres a passive skill that caps volatility at 30, my question is why would you want that? doesnt that just make volatility objectively worse? i guess it limits how much damage you can take from it but i feel like there are other ways to get around that that dont limit your damage

[raw depot]

does skill speed affect the act of placing a totem down?

[plush kiln]

yeah probably

[pseudo gale]

can someone smarter than me explain how the original sin damage conversion works? Do elemental damage mods scale the base damage, which is then convert to chaos, and then chaos modifiers apply to the new damage?

[teal dock]

Anyone got an ignite build for Smith on hand?

The one I'm looking at is last patch

[static flax]

if im trying to compare two quivers in pathofbuilding, should i go with the quiver that gives a higher average damage, or a higher hit DPS?

[formal silo]

Does throwing a concoction count as as flask effect?

[fathom rover]

is stuff like this good for builds that convert a lot of damage to ele or still better off with phys rolls?

[pseudo wasp]

According to the poe2 wiki, conversion happens before increased and more modifiers are applied, but flat damage mods are included with the base damage, converted and scaled appropriately. Basically, you'd only need to invest in chaos % damage mods. https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Conversion

[pseudo wasp]

No.

[pseudo gale]

so nodes like this would be uselss?

[pseudo wasp]

I'd say hit dps if there isn't a value for total dps.

[static flax]

well i mean its a fire quiver that gives 1055 average damage and 2478 hit DPS, and a volant quiver that gives 1088 average damage and 2309 hit DPS. im just not sure which is better

[pseudo wasp]

Correct. I've also checked a few Original Sin builds on poe2.ninja to see if any of them were using that node and I didn't see any.

[pseudo gale]

well it wasnt 0 which is why I was confused

[pseudo wasp]

It's probably the first one. I assume it has some other stat which increases your dps like attack speed or whatever.
Of course, it might be that you get more life or resistances or other stuff from the second quiver, but as far as damage does, it's the first one.

[ashen copper]

guys did armour get buffed in any meaningful ways?

[pseudo wasp]

If I had to guess, those people never bothered to respec their tree after getting the ring. I imported the first of those builds and checked to see if unallocating that node changed their damage, and it didn't.

[pseudo gale]

on POB?

[pseudo wasp]

Correct.

[pseudo gale]

cool wasnt sure if it was going to be able to support this, build seems a little convoluted

[pseudo wasp]

Does anybody know of any way to create corpses in PoE2?
As far as I know, there's only the sacrifice buff that lets you use reviving minions as corpses but makes them have a slower revival time.

[pseudo gale]

from reading the wiki, whats your take on "gain as extra" of other elemental damage types? Seems to apply during "stage 2" but I dont follow what that means. My assumption is its post though, so if I deal 100 lightning converted to chaos, and I have 5% as cold, I would deal 100 chaos + 5 cold

[teal dock]

pretty much

[pseudo wasp]

Oh! Like with Voltaxic Rift.
Yes, your example of 100 chaos + 5 cold would be right. And though it seems strange to me, based on what the wiki says, I'd expect Original Sin to make it 100 chaos and 5 cold as well.

[dusty viper]

Does yoke of suffering add a decent amount of a dps boost? Or should I skip it for another amulet?

[grave latch]

Does the Armour Break support gem work with Avatar of Fire keystone?

As the Armour Break support gem says, Break Armour equal to 15% of Physical Damage dealt by Supported Skill. And Avatar of Fire says, 75% of Damage Converted to Fire Damage, Deal no Non-Fire Damage.

[sharp thorn]

15% of 0 is also 0.

[grave latch]

So there is no conversion magic that takes place, it has to 100% be physical damage 😢

[frosty finch]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/s6z8v0gp

hey guys, can you recommend changes for my character to be more tanky ? currently only 700 ES and 1300 HP

[queen mesa]

Yesterday before I dropped one of the new unique support gems, Uruk's smelting, can be good on a Pathfinder corrosion gas grenade build?

[sand ember]

are totems minions?

[frosty finch]

nope

[sand ember]

ty!

[frail elm]

PSA wind dancer doesnt work well with hollow palm technique if youre using it for damage.

[vivid ruin]

guys, what's the best first witch hunter accen points I should take?

[ashen copper]

can anyone help me? for some reason my elemental resistances are not the same in PoB2 as in game

and i have the same setup

[woeful pecan]

hey, I've a question about deadeye eva/es hybrid swap - I'm reviewing builds on poeninja and can't figure out how people get so much int without haveing it on rings - is it some kind of unique jewel?

[golden robin]

I have a question about deflection.

• Does deflection gain from flat ER or total ER?
• Does deflection gain from ER happen before or after conversion by Iron reflex?

[fickle thistle]

Ma dudes. how much of these values would be considered the minimum for a VIABLE build. Assuming like level 85 maybe with decent bases and gear.

I just dont want to invest too much into these stats when I can invest in more utility. so just a minimum point where less would probably start feeling bad.

% inc dmg
% inc armour/evasion
% inc attack speed
% Inc Crit chance/Damage

[pastel knoll]

does "volant quiver" work with feathered fletching?

[desert shell]

love playing ligspear but since they nerfed it, clearing wave has been and issue so i was thinking of using coc with spark while playing lightspear ! Would it work ??

[vestal storm]

does anyone know of any decent deadeye spiral volley builds?

[last quartz]

Any1 knows how to make pob show all support gems ? After importing it shows only 1st one

[nova ginkgo]

are charms broken right now? becuase im not getting the % resistence it says

[ashen roost]

Isn't it for just that hit?

[static torrent]

Only for a short duration after they are activated.

[timid basin]

Question for those that swapped from pure evasion to EV/ES hybrid
In a regular Lightning arrow build
How impactful was for your survivability? a lot or just a bit?

[sonic jacinth]

Guys excuse my ignorance i am trying to stack crit chance for my witch build but how do i get multiplicative modifiers ?

[mellow shale]

Would modifiers like "all damage shocks" work on a companion if you use the lineage support gem that causes them to do and take 100% less damage?

[odd mantle]

does ancestral empowerment from Titan’s passive tree stacks with the gem fist of war?

[lime narwhal]

has anyone tried mana leech now with the passive that converts phys leech to elemental?

[unreal sierra]

i rushed it pretty early on ice strike/storm wave and it sustains me on one mana leech affix

[lime narwhal]

interesting, I'll try the respec out then. have you got any of the other passives that increase leech or is it just one item mod and the keystone?

[drifting pollen]

What are the best skills to speed clear campaign having all jewels and uncut gems for ranger?

[unreal sierra]

i was running two mods for campaign, one is enough for maps with no passives

[eternal pilot]

Is mjolnir warrior a decent build för 1h and shield?

[lime narwhal]

nice, got 15% from mods so should be good then

[bold saffron]

Guys I have a question

If an item has "energy shield: x" at the top, is that the total ES the item gives?

or is it unaffected by +ES mods?

is this 81 TOTAL or 81+49

[glacial radish]

why i have with the blackheart iron ring more dps on lightning arrow than with the rare iron ring with more stats?

[serene arch]

Does the new Mirage Archer skill synergize in any way with Overabundance?

[timid basin]

Anyone has a ready Castaway unique map (The one that gives a lot of gold) that I could join?
I was respeccing my char and ran out of gold and didn't saw... almost bricked it but can still kill stuff together)

[distant glade]

Is twister the best skill for huntress ?

Been testing and nothing else comes close

[pearl sluice]

Does anyone know if this works with thorns now (since thorns are hits)

[exotic gyro]

summs up all increases found in the affixes:
https://poe2db.tw/us/Pauascale_Gloves
the base ES of those gloves is 32 + 49 = 81 ES

[keen sage]

Does weapon swaping work for offerings? If I would set up a Weapon Set 2 for offerings, would it snapshot at the time of summoning?

Since it works like that with the rest of the skills I suppose thats how it works with offerings too?

[torn quiver]

its a maybe, totems work on snapshoting, but im not sure if offerings are treated as a minion or totem

easiest way to test is just have no minions on the second weapon and see if the offering persists on weapon swap

[keen sage]

Okay, thank you. Do you know, do minions work on snapshoting? Temp minions that is

[serene minnow]

if minions are doing the killing, would it scales with their increases to damage?

[keen sage]

No it scales with yours

[sharp thorn]

Blackheart is better. Iron ring has only 2-6 phys and 4% increased damage is negligible increase since it stacks poorly with your passive tree.

[twilit cairn]

Any tips for surviving on a Spark Sorc ??? i rly die a lot during campaign.

[eternal pilot]

Since you can use same weapons in different sets. Does that mean that you can use your weapon set 2 for warcrys with all the warcry passive points and than swap to 1 with just the damage passives points for example?

Or does something get messed up when you swap?

[worn jasper]

What's the point of going over 75% chance to block on your skill tree if youre using the Turtle Charm ascendancy or whatever that caps your block at 75?

I see a lot of Warbringer builds doing that

[grim panther]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1308714975082053693/1412420147083219014/image.png?ex=68b83a44&is=68b6e8c4&hm=3375c1ac9eb9bf3d3cd76a526ece29db8100ce3c16c3e7cf953aea3c34032e4c&

does this spell exist in the game?

I was browsing poe2db, but cant find this gem in game anywhere

also cant search for curse charms on the trade site, is there somethign im doing incorrectly?

[green bloom]

has anyone found a beast companion that can actually do some solid damage on its own besides the dino+infernal legion?

[green bloom]

its froma unique wand Adonia's Ego

[grim panther]

awesome thanks, do you use poe2db at all, how could i determine that myself?

[median kraken]

I don't see why not but I haven't used warcries at all in PoE2 so I could be missing aomething

[green bloom]

You can always check https://www.poe2wiki.net/

also i think this gem icon always means its from an item

[proper lake]

is it even worth it to go Archon buff? It feels kinda bad......

[drifting burrow]

Iron Ward is super fun holy crap. Exactly what I wanted. Thinking about doing a build with that + retaliate support, mace/shield build... Is there a cap to how much you can make armor apply to non physical damage types?

[weary meadow]

Guys quick question, what is better at around lv60? Mortar cannon tactician or ice shot tornado deadeye

[lime narwhal]

feels really good now!

[twin badger]

Has anyone played around with the "The Molten One's Gift" passive? It says it applies armour break to fire damage. Does this act independently from fire penetration? Or is this a replacement for fire pen?

[urban mountain]

Guys how do I make my rhoa mount faster

Other then armour getting movement speed

[lime narwhal]

this is actually so rubbish. a whopping 65 life from 260 dexterity

[mystic tangle]

Are there any sources of reduced effect of curses on me outside of body armor mod or passive tree?

[mental briar]

Does the trade feature have a preset function that lets us save some stuff?

Rather than entering it all again

[twilit cairn]

Guys, 2 noob sorc questions:

• am i able to see which infusions i got active somehow, with a certain mtx? (i hate having to look up left corner at my buffs)
• is there a way to make curses auto cast or maybe having curses as an aura around me? having to cast curse of elements manually feels rly bad.

[wooden iris]

hey fellas - is a staff like this used in many builds?

[halcyon shale]

hey does anyone know if the 'defend with 200% armour' nodes stack? so if i had the node that worked from over 6m away, and it was a crit, would i defend with 400% armour?

[still dirge]

its decent for a lv 66

but it basically is thrown out at lv 84

[wooden iris]

thanks for the input 🙂

what would you like to see as a final prefix on this item? I saw an interesting desecration that seemed easy to target

[still dirge]

idk its not worth crafting on that its a 3 or 4 chaos item

[wooden iris]

noted - thanks for the input 🙂

[keen sage]

If anyone is wondering, Offerings do work with weapon swap. Like totems, it snapshots the tree. Just tested it with duration increase nodes

[twilit cairn]

is there a "auto cast" curse support gem ??

[nimble hound]

best leveling build on Sorc? still ed/c until 80+? That seems lame is there any good elemental combos

[bold saffron]

Can someonme help me and explain a little about dps increases? either in dms or here

an amulet like this shot my dps from 4,6k to 7.3k on my essence drain but this is just +2 skills and +27% damage?

however, going from a sum of 50% ish to 130% ish on the wand only went from like 4100 to 4400

why did upgrading my wand barely gave anything to essence drain (im playing lich)

or does dps tooltip just aint working properly

it displayed the chaos bolt tooltip increase quite correctly

[still dirge]

there's a good leveling that uses the new orb of storms and ember fuselage, with the staff that makes you fire 5 projectiles so you dont need to channel ember fusilage

you fire a ton of fire, and the orb strikes on every fire hit

[nova plank]

what ascendancy points to use for LA amazon ?

[pale niche]

Jesus, what's the point of Iron Reflex if it doesn't count %evasion -_-

[quiet forge]

+Spell Levels

[unreal canopy]

Isn't Chaos Resistance usually supposed to be like luxury for endgame and not be 100% needed in early game? Or is my evasion rating just that shit that Im sometimes randomly getting one shot in T6/7 maps ... its kinda annoying I also have 44% deflect chance and 46% dmg deflect

[trail compass]

As monk bell do you always use overbundance and put 2 bells at same time and then start hitting bells?

Every guide I see has overbundance but low duration seems like bad, not much time to set up 2 bells and use it

[bold saffron]

i get that, but why +2 spell levels > 80% spell dmg

[quiet forge]

because spell levels are broken

[bold saffron]

why

ARPGs are so bad at telling what my flat dmg vs % dmg is tbh its hard to tell whether i want flats vs %s

[distant glade]

Levels give dmg

[quiet forge]

Base damage increases proportionally to your spell's level, right?

[bold saffron]

yup

[crimson oar]

Can Staggering Palm still heavy stun an enemy that's primed to stun even if it doesn't deal damage? I was considering using the retreat gem to boost the wind projectiles on stun, which would then remove the damage from the melee hit

[bold saffron]

but upgrading wand went from 50% to like 130%

isnt that massive

[quiet forge]

more levels = more damage = multiplication like added/increased/more damage has to work less hard

[quiet forge]

no because one item added a full +2 spell levels and the other added only 50 %inc damage

[glad kettle]

spell's base damage scales on level, meaning all the +damage% modifiers apply to that base number. the base damage grows about 12(?)% per spell lvl, meaning that is just 12% more damage per level. the % is only added in to your other %increases, then applied, lessening the overall effect

[quiet forge]

you need both btw

[woven otter]

Worth a test, also impale on main attack adds some nice damage to the projectiles

[bold saffron]

how can i determine whether flat vs % is better in this game

because from this my conclusion is flats are so stupidly low, that getting them up by any means is bis

[quiet forge]

They're equally important; whichever gives you more damage

[quiet forge]

Correct.

[vernal lodge]

Hm i think I might combine huntress skills with ranger

[crimson oar]

my current boost move is the broken stance from vaulting impact

[glad kettle]

you need both. flat is the number that the %s apply to.

[woven otter]

What’s your main attack

[bold saffron]

i understand that ^^ its just very ahrd to determine which ones MORE dps in general

like +2 vs 80% lets say

+2 was like, INSANELY better

[quiet forge]

+2

Easily

[bold saffron]

not even remotely close better

[glad kettle]

it's way harder to increase flat compared to % increases, so generally, if there is an option, take flat

[bold saffron]

but its hard to see why

[quiet forge]

then yeah, base damages

[bold saffron]

i guess its because % spell damage is on every single tree node?

[quiet forge]

yes

[vernal lodge]

How would I make the swapping between sets easier?

[bold saffron]

so i have like a billionb % on tree

and flats is #1 priority?

[quiet forge]

yes

[glad kettle]

well that efficacy of % is dependent on the number it is increasing

[bold saffron]

ok its starting to make sense

[glad kettle]

yeah you got it

[quiet forge]

More to the point, stacking multiple types of the same bucket gives you diminishing returns

Like

[bold saffron]

now is there any MORE ways to get flats for spells other than + to all skills?

[quiet forge]

too much means 1% isn't 1% anymore

[bold saffron]

what are some other flats i can get

[quiet forge]

Gained Damage as X

[bold saffron]

is that multiplic of total dps i do?

[quiet forge]

essentially

[bold saffron]

like 10k dps + gained 10% as fire = 11k?

[quiet forge]

What that mod does is take your base damage, chop into X, and throw that on top

so yeah

[nimble hound]

wer edo i get that staff im lvl 10 i restarted new character. lvling sucks sof ar

[glad kettle]

50 base dmg increased by 1000% is 550
70 base damage increased by 800% is 630

[quiet forge]

100 + 50% = 100phys 50fire

[glad kettle]

lol i think my mental maths isnt great

[nimble hound]

whtas good low level sorc lvlinb build

[glad kettle]

just an example

contagion probs

[bold saffron]

so then even when im looking for ES robes, even tho i always looked at "more es = better robe"

[quiet forge]

he said sorcerer

[bold saffron]

would a robe with LESS total ES but higher flat es would be better

[quiet forge]

If you want elementalist shit, do arc/spark/orb of storms + snap

[glad kettle]

ah ok thats different

[nimble hound]

ok thx

[quiet forge]

no items only really care about the end totaled sum

[glad kettle]

so the number at the top is the total flat es

[bold saffron]

why? because they take all the %s from the tree alrdy into account?

[glad kettle]

when armour says (50% increased ES) it only applies to that specific armout piiece

its so confusing ik

[quiet forge]

no, more the armor's scaling is already applied

[bold saffron]

gootcha

yeah holy its confusing haha

[quiet forge]

Passive tree and the sources from gear are different

[crimson oar]

main single target DPS attack is tempest flurry. The plan is to maximize attack speed to get a lot of hits setup stun and broken stance with wind blast, staggering palm and vaulting impact, then hold tempest flurry for massive damage while they're down. It's been working pretty well so far

[glad kettle]

on the tree and jewlery it's global

[quiet forge]

The passive tree is much, much stronger in general

and amulets also get to act like it, yes

[bold saffron]

im good at strategy games but this made my brain hurt so bad like why did my 80% SP wand give nothing lmao xddd

[quiet forge]

Because it's basically the same wand

[bold saffron]

so es on robe is JUST for robe

[quiet forge]

yep

[glad kettle]

trust, the more you play, you pick it up quick

[bold saffron]

and same with other gear pieces

[glad kettle]

yep

[quiet forge]

PoE is the endgame boss of systems complexity

at least be glad we didn't start yapping about shit like "okay your gear needs shaper mods actually"

[glad kettle]

weapon damage works like that too, if you ever play melee

[bold saffron]

so lets take this for an example, its a mid wand

the best single mod to get would be deal x as fire dmg or whatever?

like %dmg as fire dmg?

or would it be cast speed

[quiet forge]

eh, that would help, you would want cast speed too

[glad kettle]

lmao i miss eldrich crafting

[quiet forge]

So there's a program you'd probably like fucking around with

go google path of building 2

[bold saffron]

ive been told about it ye i like it but its so much info at once

[distant glade]

Pob is so ass for poe2

Half of it doesn’t work

[glad kettle]

its decent for this kinda thing like

[distant glade]

It’s decent cause it’s the only option

But it’s kinda useless

[quiet forge]

I'm saying to look in it so that you can get a sense of how plugging in modifiers changes your items/stats & so you can look up easily the list of prefixes/suffixes and on what items they appear on

[still dirge]

1 ex on trade

[glad kettle]

for understanding how impactful mods can be on the flat dps / armour numbers, i mean

[pliant edge]

Dot spells don’t scale with gain as extra dmg. Only the hit part of it does

[glad kettle]

still cant theorycraft in it really

[bold saffron]

so as an example, hold on

1st one >>>> 2nd one?

[quiet forge]

🫵

see what I mean

[pliant edge]

No

[quiet forge]

but not for wands, honestly that wand will be fine for now, you won't need to upgrade it until you can do it with divines

[silver anvil]

any suggestions for supports for wind dancer?

[quiet forge]

for spells that do normal hits

[distant glade]

Blind, any other buffs

[bold saffron]

omg so thats prob why my dot chaos shit got no dmg up

lol

[pliant edge]

For chaos spells you only want +level to chaos spells, spell dmg, chaos dmg, cast speed, int/mana

[glad kettle]

i usually use ones that debuff enemies on hit

[silver anvil]

already have blind somewhere else

[glad kettle]

or if you have the spirit, vitality, clarity ect

[silver anvil]

any suggestions? no spirit

[bold saffron]

damn so mines almost perfect except cast speed

[glad kettle]

ah i dont really know what gems are good for that in 0.3 sry

[bold saffron]

so the %as fire only works on hits, not dots

[distant glade]

Does reduce duration give you stacks back faster ?

[glad kettle]

check some random evasion build guides, see what they use

[bitter ridge]

Do totems use your current weapon? or whatever they were spawned with?

[silver anvil]

no idea tbh

[glad kettle]

im running demon form witch rn

[glad kettle]

i don't think so

[silver anvil]

what about cdr

[glad kettle]

huh not sure

[quiet forge]

once your gear hits a certain level of investment, upgrades on top start to cost prohibitive amounts due to how supply & demand works

[glad kettle]

try it and see ig

[quiet forge]

fast forward?

yes

it does

[glad kettle]

oh cool

[bold saffron]

i only have double res ring, would it be insane dps boost if i found one with even +1 to skills?

[quiet forge]

you won't, and kinda not really, maybe 20%

That kind of ring doesn't exist, it's only as a unique, Levinstone

[bold saffron]

cuz i bought this but apparantly it was a mistake cuz + to skills >>>> chaos dmg

[glad kettle]

yeah it would a pretty nice upgrade at ur level

[bold saffron]

its still ine

[glad kettle]

hey that's still good

[quiet forge]

this ring is fine since it has good res +speed +typed damage

55 cold 37 fire 151 mana with dps upside

[glad kettle]

+lv is usually really expensive if you want other good mods too

[bold saffron]

yeah i got the hang of items like rings and ammies it was just so conusing with armor

due to what u guys said about %s are applied to JUST that body armor etc

i overspent on some o them for sure lol

[glad kettle]

yeah it took me a whiole lol, my first poe1 characters were terrible for that reason

[bold saffron]

well i spent for knowledge ig xd

[quiet forge]

Prolly not, looks like good ring

[glad kettle]

still 100% worth it for armour mind

you want it on all pieces still

[bold saffron]

been using this forever could easily find double res +1 to spells for cheapish then

this is just res nothing else

[quiet forge]

Not true

It gives you 21 strength and 16 dex and 79 mana

[bold saffron]

im lich is dex even good?

for me

[quiet forge]

you need it for attribute requirements

that strength = 42 life

[glad kettle]

because the % from the tree is added AFTER the % from the armour, not with. making the % the only way to boost that raw flat armour numbers. then the tree can boost that new raw number even higher. 2 steps

[bold saffron]

ur so right LOL didnt even think abt that

ok well i havent done one map in 2+ hrs but this has definitely helped alot for the future

thank you ^^

[glad kettle]

lmao the true poe experience. build planning in hideout

[bold saffron]

sitting and watching at numbers all day lmao

[quiet forge]

this happens, at least your mapping will go easier

[glad kettle]

same lol. procrastinating that rn

[bold saffron]

oh yeah with this ino my essence drain went rom 4100 to 7300 cuz +2 to skills amulet LOOL

its nuts

[glad kettle]

trynna make a stupid skil combo that wont work ;(

[quiet forge]

weapon upgrades are the biggest source of dps though usually, my quarterstaff was behind 20 levels and I got my ilvl 81 base

doubled damage

[quiet forge]

try layering statuses and consumptions

plague i know has a setup where it can proliferate armor break explosions to apply more plagues

[bold saffron]

see thats the funny part, i got a "better" one with that mindset but then i got an amulet with +2 and it 50% my whole dps xddddd

i think i had so little + to skills that even a single point or two was massive for me

it went all in on %

[quiet forge]

it probably would have worked for an attack build

spells are different because they're more focused on modifiers and back-end strength

attacks are just like

IS 2+2=4B YET???

[bold saffron]

yeah i think for attack builds its different cuz u can find flats on actual gear pieces

[glad kettle]

oh i meant like skills in the tree. demon form + blackflame covenant. for no other reason that it will look badass

[bold saffron]

"ur attacks deal" right

spells dont rlly have that

besides + to skills

[quiet forge]

correct

[bold saffron]

casters bad confirmed

xd

[quiet forge]

just damage gained as which attacks also have

[quiet forge]

Common criticism!

They can't leech, either!

[bold saffron]

ok im learning fast LOL

[glad kettle]

yeah, attack is only for skills that use a % of equipped weapon as damage generally

[bold saffron]

ok imma go do some maps with my 4k -> 7,5k upgrade now pog

[glad kettle]

godspeed o7

[bold saffron]

i bought a t15 map for fun while strugglnig with my 4k

at t8

boy was i dumb XDDD

now should be much smoother

[glad kettle]

nicee. you get to t15s faster than you'd think

[twin mauve]

does anyone know what do i get w tecrod, kurgal, ulaman instead of keystone? im seeing ppl run it over mom on purple bm, but pob doesnt seem to support it and poe ninja just displays mom. cant find any info about undying hate anywhere lol

[austere hatch]

Has anyone tried using wildwood persistence (ritualist) and like regeneration as a feasible strategy for an EHP layer?

[night chasm]

Anyone know if an ice shot deadeye build with like a cast on crit setup would work well? I haven’t played since 0.1 and loved this build but I heard they nuked heralds looping. I really want to make something similar to this.

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/xa74i019

[halcyon shale]

does anyone know if the tactician node that says 'defend with 200% armour' means that applies to the 'armour applies to elemental damage' stat?

[quiet forge]

it does

everything I'm feeling from this suffix so far has been implying it goes into the armor stat as a modifier of your overall stack

stands to reason scaling armor up would just feed back down to the %conversion

[cloud pebble]

1. Does trigger-casting a spell (Cast On Crit, Cast On Ailment, etc.) consume Infusions to activate the conditional Infusion effect on the skill?

2. For Ange in Hardcore: has anyone died yet and can confirm that she stays in your hideout even when you only have a lvl 1 character? and if so, can you fully use her? or in hardcore is trade NPC still locked to post-Act 3

[eternal meadow]

Anyone knows whether skills with "Attack Damage of this skill is x% of Default Attack Damage" deal unmodified Default Attack Damage or does it include supports you put into defaul attack skill?

[sleek yacht]

hey using a perfect essence can I reroll the suffix only? without omens and stuff

[upper viper]

Cant find much info about it, with giants blood. Are we still able to use a shield, and a two hander as a one hander ?

[glacial radish]

ok nice, thanks (;

[quiet forge]

Nothing about that got changed. You just get less life from strength now

[upper viper]

ok, was just double checking.

[timid basin]

Anyone got into a problem where your lightning arrow doesn't always proc lightning rod? what causes it? is it some sort of piercing or something I'm missing? I have no pierce

[magic pier]

fucked up i can't have this unique on my weapon set 2

wtf ggg

[craggy plank]

what would be better -> increased minion damage or +2 to minion skills? the rest is pretty even.

[true parrot]

Hi has anyone tried poisonous concoction would like to do a build with it but it seems like I can’t find a build with it ?

[unreal girder]

Is the lucky deflect unlucky eva node worth it? Sounds very good for consistent mitigation

[upper viper]

Do we even have that in poe2 ?

[magic pier]

+2 levels is always ~13% MORE damage
depends on the increased minion damage amount and how much you already have

[unreal girder]

Not anymord its called acidic concoction

[upper viper]

Ah they renamed it

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/poisonous-concoction-pathfinder-build-guide

[craggy plank]

sorry this might be better.

[true parrot]

Yep pathfinder ascendancy

[upper viper]

Use Ziz's

[true parrot]

Would it work since it was for 0.1 ?

[upper viper]

You might have to read up on some of the skills and double check.

If there is any major nerfs

[magic pier]

oh yeah 2nd one is way better

[unreal girder]

No its a whole new build now

[magic pier]

it also has +3 levels on the implicit

[unreal girder]

Acidic conc is a "finisher" skill

[craggy plank]

okay, thank you =]

[upper viper]

Then yeah, its not really a thing anymore. The build itself ?

[true parrot]

Will try to find something with it then

[unreal girder]

No you need to poison with another skill then use acid conc to make the poison go boom

[upper viper]

Interesting

[true parrot]

Rain of arrow wither touch could be cool for mapping

[halcyon solar]

idk something seems almost as if it's bugged since yesterday evening. When i kill rares or open Abyssyl chests i only find gold and sometimes an Alch, where there was previouisly Chaos and the occasional Divine. That observation isn't just a 5 minute take but over 4 hours... 😢

but i mean consistently finding gold with 83 Rarity is defintetly sus

[sour basin]

for sorc what fire based skills are strongest as a core skill? currently focusing everything into fireball as im only level 21

[high rivet]

do we have any calculator for timeless jewels yet? or do we not have the seed cracked

[gray hedge]

anyone know what boss corresponds to sacrifice of blood?

[high rivet]

tecrod

its in the alternate passive part

[gray hedge]

oh thank you

[halcyon solar]

what could be the reason why I don't have Alva in my hideout?

[lyric plank]

tf gonna get nerfed i can feel it

[halcyon solar]

How do you get back to the initial map room NOT your hideout?

[upper viper]

hooded one, kingsmarch

[jagged wave]

Is hyrris viable? I'm debating between 1200/400 evasion ES body vs 1200 evasion hyrris. I just feel like I could get more out of 400 raw ES than double the evasion

[lyric plank]

just go highest evasion possible and get that one node for es per evasion on body

[jagged wave]

Okay, that was the third option but now that I think of it it makes more sense

[lyric plank]

imo its the best middle

tbh i only die to abyss idk if ill do hybrid

[high rivet]

does the desecrated armour break with maces work with non-attacks or thorns? or is it local and only works with the attacks with the mace

[dusky wadi]

for some reason tame beast just is not working at all

[fringe tapir]

For Monk: Invoker or Acolyte? Or both fine?

[candid garnet]

can anyone more experienced give me any tips for my build ? or if it wont work at all ? https://maxroll.gg/poe2/pob/vy10ec0g

the skill gems are placeholder for now i jsut want some tips for the tree

[fickle thistle]

Worked for me yesterday. It must be Rare and must be a Beast. not any mob will do

[halcyon solar]

you can like insert currency in strongboxes?

[dusky wadi]

im aware of the beast thing, but it just straight up isnt working

[halcyon solar]

huh and i forgot to claim 4 Atlas Points initially from Alva and Dannig. Now i did it after being on T13 maps and i can't use those Atlas Points. Are they just "dead" to me now? 🙁

[ivory mirage]

was warrior ancestral spirit node (Ancestral Call) fixed yet?

[royal totem]

what are some good builds to try out this league except LA?

[high rivet]

thorns, im totally unbiased

i had a friend doing LA, and he got jealous of my tankiness and damage, so he swapped to thorns

ive gotten to about t13's no problem

(although you need like, 1 build enabling unique, and its nice to have some level 3-5 support gems early, build comes online at level 16)

[celest oxide]

Chat do I just say fuck it and roll a Deadeye

[high rivet]

thorns

[uncut knot]

we will never be meta slaves

and we will be warriors

[celest oxide]

My thing is

[high rivet]

i dont have a video of my current build, but thorns actually does big damage

[celest oxide]

I don't wanna be a meta slave

But I have the big dumb

and need guides

[uncut knot]

im running a warrior and the entire world that hates my fighting spirit can go shine on my jewels

[celest oxide]

and Fub's guides are just so much more fleshed out and spelled out than any other ones I've see

[high rivet]

you can get leech on thorns, 100% crit chance, easily 300% crit multi, instant leech

[celest oxide]

yeah I won't be able to afford anything

But with new crafting maybe that's not the end of the world

[royal totem]

hmm i m thinking about a bleed warrior but idk if it will work

[high rivet]

i dont know much about bleed warrior

but thorns can do bleed

im doing infernalist thorns right now

around level 88, i should have about, 1092% crit multi with 100% crit chance on thorns

[uncut knot]

bleed wants three nodes that are on the dex-str side of the tree

they make your bleed run faster

[royal totem]

i mean i tried to play some other classes but i just cant, the warrior is the way

[uncut knot]

what skill are you using

[royal totem]

i didnt make anything just thinking about making one

[uncut knot]

i think you want these three nodes really bad for bleed personally

[high rivet]

do you have any currency yet?

or are you fresh in this league

[uncut knot]

they dont want you to do bleed and warrior with maces because maces hit hard and would make bleed strong

rake is a guranteed bleed ability, its a spear skill, spears are 75% dex but that should not be as much of an issue with reduced stat requirements

rake warrior would have been super good last league, because you can strength stack with stomping ground

[royal totem]

i got some like 30 exalts

[royal totem]

yea i know it was good but idk bout this league

[high rivet]

thats definitely within a thorns budget, but if you really want bleed, then yeah, zeo seems to know what they're saying

[uncut knot]

i dont think it will be bad to do rake at all, you can scale double heralds, good aoe, good damage

[royal totem]

so you think i should go for spears?

[uncut knot]

i am using a fire build this season and herald of ash is a pos. sounds like straight up the worst herald out there

[royal totem]

and what titan as ascendancy?

[uncut knot]

spears have an ability that does guranteed bleed, else you need bleed chance

rake does, which is a spear ability to be specific

else, i think you just want the biggest amount of damage with your bleed

[versed tundra]

Do quarterstaff nodes work with hollow palm? I assume no

[uncut knot]

if i tell you to do a spear and you do a spear character but wanted to do mace warrior with bleed then youll end up quiting because its not what you originally wanted to do

thats what i found for myself atleast when i first started poe, that its more important for me to do the build i want to do that worry too much about making it optimal

[royal totem]

yea maybe your right

[distant glade]

Everything other than twister on my huntress feels like ass. (I’m not playing Lightning arrow)

It’s gotta be the best spear skill atm right?

[high rivet]

Lightning arrow is lame

[distant glade]

It is

[high rivet]

Best spear skill is rapid assault for me

But that's only cause I'm thorns

[distant glade]

Oo

[high rivet]

People doubt the damage thorns can do

"oh I have to get hit?" good

[royal totem]

but also more than wanting to make warrior mace or anything i just want a bleed build and i dont care kinda about anything else

i just love bleed

[distant glade]

Yeah that’s just not my playstyle. It seems good though

[high rivet]

I beat fully empowered kulemak at level 78

[uncut knot]

you love mace, you love bleed, you will find a way to make it happen

there is a node that grants damage and massive ailment magnitude on warrior, below the jewel slot, that would help

i think you can stack a lot of base attack damage on warrior to scale your attacks and bleed

[high rivet]

How big of a melee hit are you wanting for bleed btw?

[uncut knot]

if you want to path towards the bleed nodes on dex is your choice

[high rivet]

Also makes me wonder, the barbs 3 gem, does it do two separate thorn hits

[uncut knot]

bleed is 15% of attack damage of the hit per second, so it scales on damage, ailment, faster ailments, etc

so its not completely off the usual warrior stuff

the biggest issue i think is that you want to be able to apply bleed to everyone in a pack and how you do that

[high rivet]

Wouldn't it be generic hit?

[uncut knot]

i need to read the new thrown hammer ability if that would work

[high rivet]

Or can spells not do bleed

[royal totem]

i mean i think with herald of blood you can just spread the bleed

[high rivet]

Yeah it's generic, and it's pre mitigation danage

[red sun]

barrage dose not work anymore with spiral volley?

[royal totem]

and if you have high enough damage of bleed

or agrevated

[uncut knot]

you can but, you want to apply bleed to everyone so they start building blood loss

[royal totem]

it should kill and spread more

[uncut knot]

if you are melee you are mostly just attacking the front row rather than everyone

[high rivet]

Doesn't incision work well for bleeds

[uncut knot]

herald of blood doesnt apply bleeding itself i think

[compact hamlet]

anyone know why elemental exposure isnt working on frost bomb

[uncut knot]

there is a line, maybe in herald, that heralds dont apply the ailments they are affected by

there was in 0.2 atleast

[royal totem]

damn

[uncut knot]

so i put herald of blood to apply poison instead

[viral sage]

do u think some of the build are meant for endgame/high lvl only..even tho u can get the skill as early at lvl 1..such as parry

[uncut knot]

parry and somewhat block, 100% only used for first few levels

end game you will have like 50 mobs running at you super fast

not even end game, abyss league mechanic is bad enough

[viral sage]

im only at act 2 and small critters enuf to stun kill me 😅 and i already pick increased stun threshold passive nodes only

[celest oxide]

So is LA Deadeye fun or so strong it's boring? I think it's time to see what all the hype is about

[honest grail]

I'm literally deleting everything with an active block build lol

I can tank giga abyss stuff for a good while

[static plinth]

What should i do for merc leveling? Ive just been using wind blast but the damage is so bad even with a solid quarterstaff im about to go insane

Is Lightning Arrow the way to go?

[honest grail]

parry is still garbage from what I've seen though

outside of maybe setting up extra damage for big bonk shenanigans

[distant glade]

When in doubt play LA

[uncut knot]

you can scale block with magma barriers and the like, but i have not heard of people using parry

[honest grail]

magma barrier does barely any damage now

[uncut knot]

and block can be pseudo used with abilities like resonating shield and shield charge

[honest grail]

you use shield wave from fort cry + resonating shield

[viral sage]

thats what im doing..parry..im dead close to the enemies and the parry debuff icon still not appear

[uncut knot]

yea like you basically dont really use parry

[celest oxide]

Flash Grenade

[honest grail]

https://youtu.be/Q8s2mgb7sFs?si=oj2HRKRgLTIlS6Oh

example

[uncut knot]

resonating looks like an arthritis build to play

[honest grail]

how

[high rivet]

I'm not at my PC, can someone help me. Does called shots reserve spirit?

[honest grail]

it's just hold down a button and press another button every so often

[high rivet]

On poe2db it doesn't say it does

Or im blind

[uncut knot]

i think you want to press the reso shield on specific timer so its faster rather than hold it

[viral sage]

i thought when GGG said they improved parry..its USABLE now.. 🥲

[ebon arrow]

hey, what could be a good transition into another witch build? coming from essence drain after the campaign and idk but not feeling this build / or want to invenst into the endgame into it

[honest grail]

not really necessary

[uncut knot]

that there is animation cancelling

[honest grail]

you want to scale skill speed regardless so your warcries and shield charge are faster

[halcyon solar]

in Sekhemas, sometimes you get a negative Boon just by entering a room and sometimes you get it by like drinking from a fountain. How do i know which is the case?

[high rivet]

What are you doing with parry? Is it even able to be a main skill

[honest grail]

you get to a point where it's not feasible to anim cancel

and not needed at all anyway

I break armour really fast

[pliant kernel]

Which build jeko?

[honest grail]

reso shield hits like 3 times per second

[uncut knot]

i think this is armour explosion reso shield? or something

[honest grail]

without any cancelling

[high rivet]

How much attack speed do you have?

[pliant kernel]

Can u Share with me the build?

[viral sage]

main skill? what do u mean?

[high rivet]

Rooms say they give a curse if you enter them on the map, the curses from a fountain are from the purple ones, or sometimes from the tradeoff one

[honest grail]

no armour explosion is dogshit

[high rivet]

Well you were saying they made parry only usable, I didn't have much context

[honest grail]

this is just shield wave resonating shield with herald of ash and combust from infernal cry to help clear

[honest grail]

https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/JekoJeko-6623/character/JekoSHIELDMAXXING

that's my PoB

this is my own build

[uncut knot]

is it?

let me check the numbers

[halcyon solar]

Do they like specifically say "when entering the room"? Because i just got the curse instantly, while not drinking from the fountain and there was nothing like this in the text.

[hearty whale]

why isnt it finding any bows?? 😂

[uncut knot]

did they nerf it or what?

[high rivet]

No like, on the map, some tiles have a purple outline, where it tells you, you will get z curse for entering this room

[honest grail]

it's 30% of weapon default attack damage per explosion which is nothing

[uncut knot]

is there a higher lvl armour explosion or did they just straight up nerf it to 30%?

[honest grail]

even with a very good weapon it's basically nothing

[halcyon solar]

I see, purple = instant curse. Not purple = optional?

[honest grail]

my survivability on this build should go up a lot once I get some more str/life on gear and get smith all max res node going

[shy root]

@honest grail is there roughly an early point where you can start playing this? or do you just level campaign with some basic other stuff before swapping?

[high rivet]

Not purple just means there isn't a curse with entering the room, there could be a cursed fountain where you get a curse for honour

It's why you want as many rooms as possible in your path to avoid really bad curses

[shy root]

I like the idea of that playstyle 😅

[honest grail]

would do the usual act 1 stuff, take stun threshold on kitava asc in act 2 and then you can start using resonating shield comfortably, just get a shield with good armour value and shield wall will blow stuff up

[viral sage]

jonathan rogers said u can now parry EVERYTHING..except for red flashing heavy attack..but somehow even tho so close to the enemy..the parry debuff icon dont appear

[shy root]

Ty, awesome

[uncut knot]

i dont think youll be really parrying during clear anyway

just way too many mobs, leaves you vulnerable

what good is a shield bash or debuff when you are run down by 20 goblins

[viral sage]

the disengage skill can deal pretty good aoe damage if it can consume parry debuff and allow u to escape the mobs

[honest grail]

shield bash and parry always seemed like they were designed for boss fights

shield bash does giga stun buildup now

600% more inherent to the skill, and there's a new support that can give 300% increases for 50% less damage

[uncut knot]

i dont think its very reliable during mapping

[high rivet]

Was gone for a bit, but yeah that does sound annoying

[flat ferry]

how can i reduce a Curse duration? for the Hexblast skill ?

[viral sage]

true..even in the video..the parry showcase only on bosses 🥲

[halcyon solar]

If i have a negative Sekhemas boon saying "Merchant offer 50% less choices" Does that include Balblabla at the end of each floor?

[lusty ingot]

can someone help me with my build im a huntress at around lvl 15 and i just completed act 1 and ive got like no single target dmg

[thick thunder]

does contagious contamination and herald of plague stack?

[high rivet]

I'd assume skill effect duration reduction

Not sure if we have many sources of that though

[flat ferry]

i took the Master of Hexes node but nothing changed its still 7sec do you know why ?

[high rivet]

It even says reduced curse duration... Dunno

Are you looking at the right number?

Sometimes it has like, the default number, and then a modified number elsewhere

[flat ferry]

im looking at the curse it self and its 7sec for me, remove and add the node again but nothing changed

[high rivet]

Which curse are you using?

[flat ferry]

Despair

if i look in to the more info tab its even more XD 8.7sec

[high rivet]

So it is being modified

Also the lower the level, the faster it expires

[sour mist]

how do you get quality on skills granted by ascendancies like elemental expression from invoker

[flat ferry]

must be a bug i took a low lvl and its the same 8.26sec

removing the node ist changing a thing wtf >..<

[high rivet]

I don't think you can

It's probably meant for when we get a unique or something that adds quality for them

[novel ridge]

Is there a max number of mods a tamed beast can have or is it just what you see on the rare is what you get?

[sour mist]

ok thanks

[twilit cairn]

any1 able to link me a fun Smith of Kativa fire build? havent tried that acendency before, so wanna give it a go on ssf.

[woven otter]

The frenzied bear passive gives damage on consuming a frenzy charge, does it stack if I consume like 3 quickly?

[twilit cairn]

can u make a build around this node ?

[tribal dew]

Hi. can someone confirm. Warcaller's Bellow makes Warcries Explode Corpses dealing 25% of their Life as Physical Damage. would any support gems on warcry affect this damage? for example if I use infernal cry with heft?

[lucid glade]

Hey, just checking for a friend going into the game, what's the current flavor of the season ? What's strong(er) this season

[hearty reef]

deadeye 😛

40% of players think so at least

[dusky wadi]

can you tame another beast while having one equiiped?

[muted ibex]

Does regular bleed on hit stack with bleed on crit ?

[vocal onyx]

How do debuffs work with weapon set nodes in skill tree? Are they dynamic to the weapon set or do they take a snapshot based on the passives when the debuff was applied?

[brave canopy]

@sour mist you actually can now, with Dialla's Desire support gem. +1 level, +10% quality

[vocal onyx]

E.g. If I take a node for armor break duration only on one weapon set, and break armor using that weapon, does it persist for that duration even if I switch weapons

[fathom notch]

After Bow and Quiver for LA deadeye what’s the priority for upgrades? Rings for damage and then pump defenses with better evasion pieces?

[halcyon solar]

What kind of Barya do you need for 3rd Ascendancy?

[sour mist]

oh cool this is really good

[brave canopy]

plus the 5% quality on the tree, you can get to 15% quality

[restive needle]

3 floors

[halcyon solar]

can you "pass" the Tangient monster mod with Tornado shot? I mean shooting from far into the Tornado placed on top of the boss?

[solar shadow]

are th ere any sources of phys to lightning damage in the game?

[azure hearth]

which one of these is a better option, or does itnot really matter?

[brave canopy]

id pick life for survivability unless you have a reason to pick mana, but you can always change it

[azure hearth]

fs

thanks man

[dusky wadi]

is the chaos damage bow bad for lightning arrow?

[dapper briar]

okay question - marohi erqi + watch how i do it + living lightning ??

i don't have nearly the budget to respec and test it but does it sound like something worth trying?

[crimson oar]

What support do I need to get on storm wave to increase its range?

is it just AOE?

[solar shadow]

https://poe2db.tw/us/Calming_Devotion where can i find this in game?

is it from a timeless jewel?

[crimson oar]

Source Timeless Jewel

[solar shadow]

can you help me u nderstand which jewel?

i just see heroic tragedy and undying fate

im guess its one of these but how do we determine the seed

[fathom notch]

Technically with the archon nodes you can turn all damage to lightning damage

[solar shadow]

the pathing is unfortunately out of the way

[fathom notch]

Does impossible escape exist in PoE 2? Might be a possibility

[static plinth]

It does

Called From Nothing

[static plinth]

This doesnt exist

Its from Militant Faith in 1

[solar shadow]

ah okay thank you

so the archons are just for spell damage right?

[static plinth]

Idk but they have a massive cooldown

[solar shadow]

yea meh

okay

thanks guys

[candid hollow]

anyone knows how sorcery ward works?

[solar shadow]

physical to lightning or physcical to cold just doesnt exist yet

[static torrent]

You can read everything they do by clicking on the keyword

[solar shadow]

is thorns damage considered attack damage

[solar shadow]

damn

i gotta read more

[static torrent]

PoE in a nutshell

Especially PoE2, since it gives so much info ingame through keywords, compared to PoE1.

[solar shadow]

okay so basically my plan to do a full thorns screen explode build cant happen yet 🙁

[small slate]

Guys is the Chaotic Freeze support gem gone!?

[twilit cairn]

is there a website or something i can use to check which support gems actually works for what skill gems?

[exotic sleet]

So when i have a Shield equipped... it says in my character sheet "39% Block"... do i have to use the skill "Raise Shield" in order to get the 39% Block? or is it passive?

[static torrent]

That's passive

Raise Shield gives 100% Block from the front, and is unrelated to that percentage.

[exotic sleet]

okay, thats what i thought, thanks

the skill "cast on block"... it can not be obtained from regular skill gems right?

u need this item for this skill?

or can u get "Cast on Block" skill somewhere else?

[round escarp]

That's the only place to get cast on o block

Has anyone here ever used skeletal reavers before? Thoughts?

[honest grail]

btw do we know if it keeps your passive block from all angles or does your block from behind drop to 0% when you raise shield

[static torrent]

It still functions, as far as I know.

[honest grail]

cool

[round escarp]

Yeah shield charge is perma blocking.

The shield charge thorns is likely cooking

[wheat raft]

Are there known interactions with Brutus' Brain? The no damage done/taken support gem

I know that Incision works with it, even though the companion doesn't deal any damage

anything similar for an elemental ailment?

[static plinth]

Not for elementals i dont think

You can put Blind on though

[wheat raft]

solid call, thank you

[gritty bay]

i was wondeirng, does soneon know there are upgrades for screptres, one is "alies in your presence deal 18 more physical damage" and another is "allies in your presence deal 30% more damage" which one of them is better?

or 8% increased attack speed?

[crimson oar]

does the buff from charged staff work with hollow palm technique?

[woven depot]

Yes

[nimble hound]

can't find a Sorc combo that feels 1/5th as good as LA or Grenades

lvl 12 still lvling but i can see why not many got high on this class

its so bad, any tips?

[quiet forge]

Try fireball

[static plinth]

Is there any way to get power charges on stun?

[nimble hound]

uhh ok

[quiet forge]

Use living bomb for infusions

[nimble hound]

ill try that

[carmine sun]

recommended support gems for unbound avatar?

[nimble hound]

im currently using spark , orb, firewall

[quiet forge]

You can convert stuns to pins, otherwise no

[nimble hound]

real slow dps and die

[quiet forge]

Incredibly janky combination using resonance

[distant aspen]

What is the significance between "increased" and "more? when it comes to things like adding spell damage? Is increased additive while more is multiplicative?

[silent glade]

Is increased additive while more is multiplicative?
that is exactly the distinction yes

[rapid star]

i'm tryin to use this on Arc (it has the projectile tag), but the ingame tool tip don't change de damage value

[silent glade]

all "increased" and "reduced" modifiers to the same calculation are additive with each other

all "more" and "less" modifiers are multiplicative with all other modifiers (including other "more" and "less" modifiers)

[distant aspen]

good to know, thank you

[nimble hound]

what about Arc + Orb of Storms combo?

[silent glade]

it doesn't grant any damage by itself, you'd need to have a source of increased projectile speed

[rapid star]

oh I thought the 40% increase of the skill counted too, well it would be way too good to be true if it counted lol

[silent glade]

it's specifically only increases and reductions that count. the support grants more projectile speed, not increased projectile speed

[quiet forge]

you probably need better gear

[rapid star]

oh i did not payed attention to that thanks

[nimble hound]

so until then ill try fireball thx

[carmine flicker]

Well, new elemental pickup system is really meh
Some spells works well without, like comet, some really need it like arc

[frozen knot]

Could someone explain if this makes my lightning res count as 0?

[rapid star]

yeah arc needs orb of storms with supports for low duration and remnants generation for it to be feed consistently

but with spellslinger wand, I just use it until I can cast Lightning conduit with spell slinger, it has been really fun so far

[nimble hound]

what lvl?

[north talon]

no it makes your lightning res not get used in calculation, but your resistiance is still your resistance (for the purpose of applies it to enemies)

[frozen knot]

hmm ok, so my armor would pretty much be the only thing reducing my lightning dmg taken then?

[rapid star]

Don't remember when i got the first dueling wand, but it was around lvl 60 ish, end of campaign i think, you can use another Meta skill if you don't have the wand
but i've been doing the whole campaign with Arc+OOS, using Frost Bom and Spark for early bosses

[north talon]

Correct, it is potentially interesting now though since you can get a lotof armor to ele, with specific lightning nodes as well

Before it was giga suicidal tbh

[rapid star]

best way to use arc was equiping Orb of Storms with Overabundance and Compressed Duration, that would give you a slowish but reliable way to get remnants
once i get enough levels I speced into Everlasting Infusions, so I could spam more Arc, but is not great

[frozen knot]

ill probably still get 1shot but it'll be fun 😄

[halcyon solar]

If you have like a T5 item, does crafting on it also have a better chance for higher rolls or are only the initial rolls better?

[north talon]

I mean it might be okay honestly, you can get stupid amounts of ele armor if you want to

[static plinth]

How so?

[quiet forge]

uh there's some gem or notable for it

might be a lineage

[last quartz]

Any guaranteed way to have lots of eva here ?

[chilly trellis]

What's better, armour applying to elemental damage modifier on gear, or on the passive tree?

[woven otter]

I have question that is hard to find answer on: if I use a skill that, for example cannot cause bleeding.. and I put a damaging support into it such as bone shrapnel.. say I have 50% chance to bleed in tree, can my bone shrapnel cause bleeding or no???

[halcyon solar]

Are there ANY Armor/Evasion builds?

[last quartz]

Best if u check under ailments of the skill

[rugged bough]

Does this mean I get to keep all my life leach even after reaching full hp?

[quiet forge]

pin III, so not really

[median kraken]

What tattoos and venom draught choices tend to be good for Mortar Tactician?

[exotic sleet]

whats the name of the omen that reduce EXP loss on death???

[barren sorrel]

For Monks using Ice Strike and Resonance, how are the Frenzy charges gained that are then turned into Power charges? I can't figure it out, and I know I'm missing something simple

[fathom notch]

Combat frenzy. Ice strike. Freeze things = frenzy charges. Frenzy turns into power.

[barren sorrel]

Weird, the build I'm looking at isn't using that support

[static plinth]

Hold up though this might be perfect
Im running Wind Blast Staggering Palm and wanted to put on Charged Staff too, i could probably put Pin 2 on Staggering Palm, as long as it can still trigger stun via priming itll work well enough

If it does stop stun via priming my best bet would just be tactician but thats not a great option

[barren sorrel]

Ah, it's using Sniper's Mark on Hand of Chayula to generate Frenzy

[bright knot]

Hi guys, for Hollow Palm, do I need accuracy at all with the new changes?

[fathom notch]

Ahh. That’s another option yeah

[glass minnow]

Does normal crit chance also influence spells, or are those only affected by spell crit chance?

[lucid glade]

Erm you can't have more than 2 support gems on skeletal warriors now ?

[static plinth]

Generic crit chance affects everything

[static plinth]

Get a higher level sceptre

[lucid glade]

Higher level sceptre has more slots ?

[static plinth]

Yeah

'S always been like that

[lucid glade]

Thanks then, was worried since there's no gem

[static plinth]

Getting a max level sceptre with 5 support slots is pretty rare but its not too bad getting the other upgrades before that

[last elk]

hey why is that so "expensive"?

[median kraken]

I assume just rare and strong with minion builds. That one also has a very good roll on the last mod, which I think is the most important

[last elk]

ok thanks

[azure wyvern]

Is there an unique which lets you use the same skill gem twice?

[radiant lake]

Hey guys and gals returning to poe2 I am trying to do a lightening spear build What assistance in what goes with lightening spear build I have spark barrage herald of thunder disengage lightening spear explosive spear whirl slash and twister But what really goes with lightening spear build to make it OP I am in beginner stage. Level 21

[viscid sierra]

Hello
playing on Blood Mage - Blame Flame build(transfer fire to chaos)
what should I pick in act 3 normal and hard for the potion quest?

[alpine summit]

anyone here using Constricting Command Viper Cap ?

[halcyon solar]

Is this smth of any value?

Is it possible to upgrade like T2 to T3 Trans/Augs?

[arctic viper]

is there a way to deal lightning damage to yourself?

[white niche]

is there an easy way to calculate your resistances when making your build? Feel like I always miss capping my resistances efficiently when rehauling my gear.

[static plinth]

Scold's Bridle + Lightning Coil

Or the 5% of phys damage taken as a random element on the passive tree + Scold's Bridle if you need a minimal amount

[arctic viper]

yeah i want to use it with the charm giving you frenzy if you take lightning damage. but my idea was with a attack skill so the helmet would be the last resort. is the helmet the only way to self inflict damage?

[static plinth]

Its the only way i can think of

But there may be more

[arctic viper]

okay thank you!

[simple mural]

so i assume people have seen the builds where you use weapon passive points and swapping weapons to snapshot passives onto totems before switching to different passives after for weapon damage; but can i do that with fissures? if i have boosted fire damage when i lay down the fissure, then swap to physical for rolling slam, will the fire dmg snapshot onto the fissure?

[vernal sedge]

hey guys, can some1 help me w my build? im very weak and its prolly cuz of my items but i cannot find anything close to my level that is fairly good (im on the end of act 3)

[hidden sentinel]

Is the energy shield or armour form of infernalist best?

[exotic sleet]

is anyone playing this guide?

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/firebringer-league-start-woolie?weaponSet=set1#passive-tree-0

[last arrow]

Anyone try mortar cannon yet? How’s it going?

[exotic sleet]

i found this new 0.3.0 support gem: ... none of it on the market

so i wonder how much this is worth, since its basically the perfect match for fissure warrior? (see guide above)

[tulip fog]

if i run this in conjunction with %fire pen passives, do they interact at all?

[versed tundra]

Is essence drain contagion only best on lich? No other classes?

[lean canyon]

does anyone that uses poe2filter know how to change the base ex value? (I would like to increase the bse from >=2.5 to something else)

[willow crow]

If i corrput an item and it has sockets, can i still put in runes?

[hidden sentinel]

What’s the strongest sorceress subclass?

[mental briar]

Does this "Increased Armour" apply to all armour or just the armour of the piece in picture?

so does it turn like 19 int 36 energy shield only (so 17 diff) or will it be multiplicative with all other increases

[lean canyon]

is there a list of the abyss' pinnacle's mods?

[teal sail]

do "quarterstaff" passives work with hollow palm?

[cosmic tulip]

Is there any way i can see what skelletons he is summoning ? I mean how many of eatch type ?

https://poe.ninja/poe2/builds/abyss/character/에우레카7-3261/리치맨_?i=5&search=class%3DLich%26skills%3DSkeletal%2BStorm%2BMage

[tulip fog]

any increased armor stat on armor pieces itself is always local unless it clearly states "global" in the stat name

[snow arch]

Should I assume the base stats of Living Lightning are based on the level of the gem triggering it?

I'm trying to do a thing where Living Lightning and Raging Spirits are most of my damage

[halcyon solar]

Do your choices from Ritual automatically improve after killing the King in the Mists or do you just get more points, which translate in better items?

[jovial pine]

if u get a passive tree point that ups attak damage does it apply to grenades? because when i hold alt it doesnt even show grenades on the node

[fickle orbit]

hey guys. In POE2, is there any way to get Mind over matter keystone without the actual keystone (an item, a jewel, etc)? I know some keystones like giant's blood can appear on uniques, and i know you can get some notables via the new essence on body armour. But what about specifically MoM keystone? Im trying to find any way to allocate it without manually pathing to it, if such a way exists

[snow arch]

The closest you can get is the PoE2 version of Cloak of Defiance.

but no keystone on item yet that I know of

I do believe you can reach 100% without using MOM with enough passive and equipment investment and that does cut out the huge penalty

[worn jasper]

Yeah, it slaps

[crimson oar]

Is there a way to increase daze duration?

[normal forum]

saw some people clearing t15s already like day 2 so seems quite good

[quiet forge]

they're on the ange exchange

[carmine flicker]

what would be viable spell for lich now? exacept ed/c

bonestorm ok, but kinda slow

[atomic halo]

no

[atomic halo]

no

[tulip fog]

does inverted resistances work then? or is that also not interacting with % res pen?

[fluid jetty]

i thought that increased lightning damage , increased spell damage , and increased elemental damage scaled additively with each other but when i test with 10% jewels (no other relevant mods) - my base spark goes from 4095 to 4174 with spell/elemental but only to 4120 with increased lightning damage. This is less than 33% of the others. Are other people seeing this with other lightning skills or with spark? (I have basically no other lightning damage from sources so this isn't diluted either. Is it bugged or is this intended? It basically means any lightning % is useless and complete bait to me.

[tulip fog]

you probably have modifiers (from for example supportgems) that gives % More spelldamage or % More Elemental Damage but not any that gives % More lightning damage, thats what i would guess makes the difference

[unreal sierra]

some flat dmg that isn't lightning would also cause it right

[fluid jetty]

i have cast speed, skill effect duration, more proj speed, 'spells deal more damage' and that's it.

[tulip fog]

right, if you have any flat damage that is spell damage or elemental damage but not lightning damage on your skill that would also make a difference, that is correct, because that extra flat damage would not be affected by % lightning modifiers but would be affected by the others

[fluid jetty]

i don't think i do. I could test again taking all gear/gems off as well.

[stark kettle]

Has anyone figured out the max uptime/downtime for Archon?

[tulip fog]

if it still has that difference after unequipping all skills, auras and gear, check if you have any "gain x% of damage as extra x Damage" from passives or other sources

anyways, i am going to get some sleep, its 4 am, if you still need help, try to see if anyone else can help you

[fluid jetty]

i think you're right. it's one single mod that's gain 16% of damage as extra cold on my wand. What's kinda weird is the effect is very minimal before support gems, maybe 5% difference, but with gems it's a wild difference. I'll have to dig into why still. Thanks for the help!

[lavish marten]

any notable improvements i could make? pobbin cant read items yet but pob2 shows all the mods
https://pobb.in/EETGFvBpaGPx

[unique wolf]

Thinking of running Blood Mage and using cold spells freeze and all

Is this viable?

a crit freezing blood mage

[lavish marten]

what spell were u thinking

i dont think cold spells on their own are good

[carmine flicker]

Isn't comet ok?

Good damage scaling, doesn't need elemental infusion that much

[lavish marten]

yeah but isnt comet usually used as a trigger skill and not a main spell

i was thinking like, cast on critical or ailment spark and you trigger comet that way

but not even sure if thats necessary

[static plinth]

Also works good on Infernalist, maybe Chronomancer

And Abyssal Lich is probably about as good as normal Lich

[carmine flicker]

Why bot use as main?

A bit slow cast, but big oneshots

Want to use it on my lich probably

Idk what else
Ed/c is just so meh

[cerulean bronze]

He guys quick question, im playing the popular la deadeye build. Looking for a new bow and i want to know if flat and % phys is generally better than lightning dmg since la is only converting 40% phys to light. Also are other flat ele dmg also useful on a bow? What do i guys think are the most important stats to look out for

[jagged pawn]

if you use a jeweler's orb on an implicit skill granted by a weapon, then later upgrade that weapon, does the higher level skill keep the slots added to the lower level one, or do you need a new jeweler's orb to upgrade the skill from the new weapon?

[normal forum]

i mean pretty sure best is % phys flat phys and added lightning for prefix

[green dust]

Hey,
up to how much Armour can enemies get (including area modifiers etc.)? I am trying to figure out how much increased damage I need for my Witchhunter Explosion to Kill enemies with equivalent health amounts or if I should try to get 100% Armour break instead.

[sterile furnace]

Implicit skills gem slots aren't granted by jeweler , you just get more by leveling up

[jagged pawn]

ah ok ty
