[elder mural]

Grasping wound from blood mage
The 25% apply only if u survive the hit ?

[mint summit]

if for some reason the only thing I care about is single-target damage, what builds should I be investigating

[stiff meteor]

will trail of fire from my companion still inflict ignite with this support?

I didn't see anything about doing damage in the trail of fire description

[pseudo junco]

how do you automate frenzy charges on lightning spear huntress? combat frenzy and electrocute? its not working very well

[stiff meteor]

holy shit, I just bought it and it does

[celest oxide]

Chat do I reroll a 3rd time at early endgame cause I saw a cool Lich build or keep playing Deadeye

[steady birch]

increased charges per use? as in ill only be able to use this twice? does it reset?

[cyan plinth]

Best supports for Fulmination?

[topaz talon]

Heyho I just picked up a HH, but now my res are messed up (used Ingenuity before) and I am unsure how one would invest to fix them without switching every armor piece. Goal is to have no res runes in every socket, since I am hollow palm. Should I just buy 2 big rings and hope to find a combination, that works?

ty for help!

[royal fern]

Can someone explain why Compressed Duration would be good on Orb of Storms? ive seen it in a build cant figure out how a shorter duration does anythign positive too it?

[midnight obsidian]

for the infusion generation?

[royal fern]

ahhhhh, that makes sense now, thanks

[novel estuary]

so what's the tankiest build available atm that isn't slow as molasses

[glad marlin]

i ve seen many ppl on poeninja using hammer of faith build, anyone got one build? for merc tactician

[woven depot]

Anything deadeye

[novel estuary]

oofta

wasn't planning deadeye this season lol

[pearl sluice]

40/40/40 prismatic that would be realistically it. or you will have to reroll the suffixs on pretty much everything you have to t1 res rolls

it also looks like your gems are not corrupted so another option would be to get your lightning res by buying +lightning res 4 slot corrupted sapphires

thats how im hitting my caps with double ventors

[pearl sluice]

the suffixs on your body armor are actually pretty bad too i would start there

heres a link to modifiers calc https://poe2db.tw/us/Body_Armours_dex_int#ModifiersCalc i have it on body right now for you so you can plan out what you need for that

life regen per second is not helpful so i would get off that and i would also consider removing damage recouped as mana

it will likely be cheaper for you to buy enitrely new gear pieces also

also in the future i would make sure im overcapped on my res by excactly enough before making the swap to a 60 div belt lol

[halcyon solar]

It would make quite a lot of sense to introduce an Essence that gives movement speed to boots or to finally make this an implicit. Looking at boots you picked up even if they otherwise have great Affixes goes like this: No MS -> trash

[dire cave]

if I select iron reflexes that would mean that armour applies to elemental damage would work right?

would that also allow me to have deflect based off evasion?

[ornate verge]

Just got to endgame with my lighting sorc storm weaver… plan is to do bosses eventually what build should I shift to?

[surreal canyon]

Guys, I need help, how to put 2 whirling Slash skills at the same time?

[past surge]

Unequip the first one and you should be able to craft another gem.

[surreal canyon]

Yeah, I can create the second whirling slash, but I can't put the second Whirling into skills, I don't know why 😄

[past surge]

I just tried it out, looks like they changed it and you can only have 1 of the same skill at a time now.

[halcyon solar]

If you chaos an affix does it stay within the same tier?

[spice girder]

can any build use temporalis atm or is it useless

[trim jay]

does decaying hex still not work with blasphemy?

[weary elbow]

is there something in here that doesn't allow me to evade anything at all?

[dire cave]

are you by chance running pure energy shield gear?

or energy shield armour hybrid

[weary elbow]

i'm asking because i've had serveral hundred or thousand evasion at one point and my evasion % was 0%

[dire cave]

well I am not seeing anything passive wise that could cause that

you checked your gear?

[weary elbow]

i was just really curious about that from earlier, i am currently in es gear

[dire cave]

well having no evasion on gear would cause that yes

also you need more evasion the later in game you are

[weary elbow]

i'm trying to do endgame stuff now and im getting slapped, was going to look into evasion now

[dire cave]

nah

from the looks of it you spend most of your defensive points into es so you should look at your es number aswell as resistances

[upper depot]

Until the current patch, I played a gas grenade witch hunter mercenary. Does anyone happen to have a build for the current patch?

[weary elbow]

i think im having the most trouble with physical

[summer pasture]

Try and get phys taken as

[cyan plinth]

Are there any gems that can be slotted into Discipline/Overwhelming Pres that dont take spirit?

[dire cave]

magnified effect

wait no scratch that

[weary elbow]

i'm pretty new, not sure how much i have easy access to to fix my build, I could link my whole character if anyone is able to help now, dont want to spam the channel too much

[dire cave]

for those aura's not realy

[cyan plinth]

What works on auras?

Checked it doesnt

[dire cave]

10K es should be plenty for most content

how much energy shield bypass do you have 15%

[weary elbow]

i'm getting slapped real bad though, keep ruining my 15+ maps

im not sure what you mean, i have CI

[dire cave]

well as a lich your life doesnt change as long as you have es

[weary elbow]

any bypass with ci kills me

[summer pasture]

Are you running mind over matter? That will help a bit

[dire cave]

so more bypass means less damage taken

[weary elbow]

i guess i could go that way with CI, di didn't go down the right side since i have ci

[cyan plinth]

A 4th Thornskin2 it is

[dire cave]

does that work with lich's es bypass?

wouldnt that just murder your mana

[weary elbow]

oh, the picture i sent i was testing different talents, i dont usually run the right side but i guess i can try it with bypass

how much bypass do you guys have?

[dire cave]

when it comes to lich most of your tank comes from that bypass since your health cannot physically change as long as you have energy shield

I dont know the exact number but I think most people get anywhere between 40-60% bypass

[weary elbow]

Ci counts as low life and full life at the same time?

or only as full life?

because 1/1

[dire cave]

full life

[modest escarp]

can someone explain why people using "deadeye hollow palm twister build" using spear is work ? i mean how hollow palm work ? with this build

[dire cave]

you shouldnt be able to use twister with hollow palm

[fiery edge]

Does thorns damage is increased by %physical damage ? Like if I have 10 physical damage thorns, does the 10% increased physical damage increase this damage ? I know that spell damage, attack damage does not

[wintry mulch]

How can I increase level of curse gems from global mods

[cerulean sigil]

Are there any good specters that boost lighting or elemental damage?

[dire cave]

what do you mean by thorns damage is increased by physical damage?

[dire cave]

theres no good specter that increases damage

you can try companions tho

[dire cave]

you mean like level of all spells?

[wanton latch]

I have a question about from nothing diamonds. Let's say I pick blood magic as my allocation node, can I allocate a node and then path my way to actually allocating blood magic? If that's not possible could I get one that allocates Avatar of fire and then path my way to Blood Magic so long as I start within the radius?

[dire cave]

all it does is allow passives in radius of said keystone to be allocated without being connected

if there is no connection to your main tree you cannot path to the keystone you want from it

[modest escarp]

saw many deadeye with hollow palm + twister i dunno why : https://poe.ninja/poe2/builds/abyss?timemachine=day-1&keystones=Hollow+Palm+Technique&sort=dps

[wanton latch]

hmmm

[modest escarp]

yeah i think so but i saw in poe2ninja too check this out:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7Z475QVjqU&t
https://poe.ninja/poe2/builds/abyss/character/Kostadius-7342/Kostadist?timemachine=day-1&i=0&search=timemachine%3Dday-1%26keystones%3DHollow%2BPalm%2BTechnique%26sort%3Ddps

very confuse what are they doing

they got good dps at day 1

[dire cave]

idk man looks like they use hollow palm for frozen locus but cant say

its hurting my brain

oh wait I see

hollow palm + ice strike+ frozen locus + bell is just used for generating frenzy

after which the locus is for the twister and whirling slash to absorb the elemental properties

since free chilled ground

frenzy to proc empowered barrage

[modest escarp]

ohhh

man

thankss

[dire cave]

hollow palm is just to not have to buy a good weapon

so in essence its just another weapon swap build

[modest escarp]

okay

[dire cave]

but with a lot of extra steps and proj

[modest escarp]

but why it's good for frenzy proc ?

[dire cave]

barrage fires an extra proj per frenzy after the base 2 proj you get for free

salvo means you build up proj over time

so combine them for more proj

[hallow lichen]

Can you have a combination of any modifiers on a beast?

[dire cave]

retreat requires you to hit with melee every 8 seconds

[dire cave]

some beast can have modifiers which others cannot

but in essence yes

[hallow lichen]

would those be related to things like "fires additional projectiles" or smth like that?

[dire cave]

if a beast has that modifier then yes

[hallow lichen]

okok thank you

[dire cave]

only up to 4 modifiers tho

keep that in mind

[hallow lichen]

is haste aura or hasted completely removed?

[dire cave]

hasted still exists but I think it got removed from quadrilla's

[hallow lichen]

ah okok, im just trying to get something super fast that drops shocked ground

[sand juniper]

what does it mean support skills gain energy shield cost?

[dire cave]

physical damage aura is rly good iirc

[dire cave]

that the skill you put that support on gains a energy shield cost

[hallow lichen]

nice

[sand juniper]

so it use energy shield on casting?

[hallow lichen]

@dire cave do you know if the 2 vile vultures in deshar can be tamed? I just tried them and tame beast didn't seem to work

[dire cave]

it adds a cost on top of mana cost

[modest escarp]

thanks for explain man

[sand juniper]

thank you

[dire cave]

not sure tho I would assume not since they are a forced encounter with random mods each time

[hallow lichen]

ahh okok

thank you

[dire cave]

think of em like bosses

[hallow lichen]

that fair

some interlude acts seem to have nice farm spots

[dire cave]

idk if you can use tamed beasts on monsters not in act 1-3

since you cant do that with spectres

[hallow lichen]

oh, not sure. I saw kingKongor tame some ants in the interludes

[dire cave]

well yeah ants appear also in act 3

[hallow lichen]

ill have to check it out

[dire cave]

the new monsters will probs be added as spectres in a later patch same with beasts if they follow the same principle

[weary elbow]

is there a good way to deal with "periodic invuln aura" mobs as chaos lich? I'm trying to use my single target from the wand and that's also not doing any damage

i put some minions on but they do pretty much no damage

[dire cave]

pretty sure it only affects allies unless theres 2 variants in which case kill em before they do it is the best way

[dire cave]

minions do no damage if you dont have good investment

[near timber]

is the effect guided meteoric shrine considered as a spell?

[sour basin]

Can someone suggest some good uniques for a pure fire based/infusion sorc pls

[sand juniper]

is there any spirit in interlude acts?

[violet yarrow]

40 in interlude 3, it block your main path so you wont miss it

[real belfry]

is elemental expression worth it?

[lime narwhal]

how is hollow palm levelling experience. thinking of rolling another toon, ranger is just the same shit and hella expensive so I'm over it

[dire cave]

dependent on gem levels

I'd be down to run a new toon with ya

[lime narwhal]

I've got access to currency and gems, ranger is well into t15+ maps

[north heart]

Guys is the warrior volcanic build actually good or just meme?

[dire cave]

also dependent on gear I'd say since thats where a lot of your atk speed and crit comes from

[hallow lichen]

ive been runing 4 totems + fissures with a one hander and its been a breeze

[dire cave]

volcanic fissure or forge hammer?

[hallow lichen]

i use both

but just fissures and totems for clear

[dire cave]

volcanic feels kinda weak tho

[hallow lichen]

really? I've been blasting

[north heart]

What about single target

[dire cave]

u running with upheaval?

[hallow lichen]

singles target is good too

notupheaval

i think i just put more elemental on it and fist of war

also rage 3

[north heart]

I guess I’m comparing too much la/rod. nothing even comes close the speed of the rhowa loll

[hallow lichen]

and i use rage spirit aura and get max rage on tree

[dire cave]

how's sprint speed compared to rhoa?

[hallow lichen]

also if you use earthquake the totems trigger the jagged ground it does hella damage for single target

[north heart]

Uhh roughly similar but it’s the fact you can shoot on the rhowa without the movement penalty and being knocked over ofc.

[hallow lichen]

font of blood for totems plus jagged groudn makes you invincible as well from the life leach

[dire cave]

stun tho

and no dodge roll

[dire cave]

hmm worth thinking on

u playing titan I geuss

[hallow lichen]

nah warbringer for the armour break and the additional totem

also the spirit for the totem are insane

they give you lots of damage and defense buffs

[dire cave]

my thought aswell

[north heart]

They changed the stun where if you don’t get hit for two seconds, it decays quickly. BEFORE you had to get off it to reset the stun. Massive game changer

[dire cave]

stun now decays ON rhoa?

[north heart]

Yes lol

[hallow lichen]

passives for totems on tree are really good aswell, you can get 40%+ attack speed on them

[dire cave]

damn the world we live in must be ending

[dire cave]

which totem cluster you running?

[dire cave]

u running ancestral bond?

[hallow lichen]

lemme check my warrior

i dont see that on the tree

but im running Ancestral mending, artifice, unity also carved earth and supportive ancestors

Answered call on the warbringer asc for additional totem and spirits

[north heart]

I wonder if rax will make warrior build

[hallow lichen]

the turtle spirit gives you 80% increased defenses and 40% block

and some others give you dmg buffs

[dire cave]

interesting

[hallow lichen]

yeah they give you things like 50% increaed damage 20% increased skill speed

its pretty nuts

[alpine basin]

Playing basically the same build. It’s really fun.

[proud chasm]

Hi i want start new char. Which is good for speed mapping and t3 boss easy farm?

[cerulean sigil]

Any good specters that grant decent auras that a lightning hallow palm monk could use. I have a bit of left over spirit.

[dire cave]

there are no spectres that grant a permanent aura

thats only companions

aka beasts

[cerulean sigil]

Ahh okay. I’ll look Into them but I’m unsure. If u have enough spirit. I’m at 35 extra.

if i*

[dire cave]

actualy there is one spectre with a perma aura but only during combat and its life regen

most beasts are at 80+ spirit

[cerulean sigil]

Yeah that’s a crazy amount. Is it based on gem level? Would a low level gem bring it down.

[dire cave]

not based on gem level its just base price

gem level doesnt affect spirit costs for beasts and spectres

only for skeletal minions and only to a minimum

like skeletal snipers go down to 30 but start at 80

[dire lance]

Why are people stacking crit on poison builds? Is this a stupid question? I thoght poison couldnt crt.

[hallow lichen]

i think the poison scales of crit phys?

[dire cave]

poison scales of the hit damage that it applies

the bigger the hit the bigger the poison

and crit being an easy 2x multi

[exotic sleet]

hi im playing ghazzys infernalist spectre build
https://www.poe-vault.com/poe2/guides/infernalist-spectre-endgame-build#67-skill-tree
and i am wondering why does he only use so less support gems
like on skeletal cleric minion he has only elemental army linked
why is that?
he could easily 4 link that?

[dire cave]

because there is no need to I geus

clerics hardly die since they always sit in the back or next to you

also states If you have the Lineage Support Brutus’ Brain then use it here

[exotic sleet]

but why only 2 supports on skeletalw arrior?

he could give them deathmarch

[dire cave]

sceptre = free warrior

[exotic sleet]

yes but he only uses 2 suport gems on them (skeletal warrior) aswell

why does he use so few support gems in his build?

i mean... there must be a reason?

[dire cave]

because those are sacrificial pawns

only used as offerings

hence lamb support

[exotic sleet]

perfect for sacrificing them

why he does not use this as a 3rd support gem

[dire cave]

probs has no need too

while ghazzy may be a good minion player your are not required to follow his advice or build to a T

[exotic sleet]

its straight up better

[dire cave]

and offerings are realy powerfull

[exotic sleet]

he only uses 2 supports for pain offering aswell

i dont understand why he use so few supports...

there must be a reason

[dire cave]

there isnt one outside of jeweller orb RNG

[drifting burrow]

I thought build guides only list the core supports that are easier to get until you get more jeweller orbs?

[dire cave]

exactly

[exotic sleet]

bro... 3 link support gems

i have 200 of them

i will go to his discord and ask there...

[drifting burrow]

idk bruh I think it's just a general suggestion

[dire cave]

do you have the jeweller orbs to match?

[exotic sleet]

yes i have 200 jeweler orbs

and greater jeweler orb cost 1 exalt

[dire cave]

like lesser can be common but greater and perfect are hard

[exotic sleet]

they cost nothing

[dire cave]

theres no way greater is 1 ex

[exotic sleet]

beside perfect

[dire cave]

also its only been 1 week so prices are all over the place

how many listers?

[exotic sleet]

it is

unlimited

i just bought 20

[dire cave]

its not unlimited

how many offers are there for that price

[exotic sleet]

how do i check?

[dire cave]

is it just a guy under cutting or is it actual value

[exotic sleet]

i can buy them instantly

[dire cave]

hover over ratio

[exotic sleet]

no they are this price for 3 days

see

they cost nothing

[dire cave]

so it would seem

[exotic sleet]

why does ghazzy not use them in his guide?

[dire cave]

probs cuz its a core guide and not an endgame guide

or again no need for it

[exotic sleet]

bro i watch his video

and he says "this is my gem setup for super late endgame, when you really want to push it to the max"

and then he shows skills with 2 supports

[dire cave]

well in that case just ask him

cuz idk

[sand juniper]

is there any support gem like hinder?

[whole wagon]

LF the same tbh I couldn't find anything that worked in place of

[sand juniper]

and i guess maim would work on first hit and doesnt work on dots?

[exotic sleet]

yeah i will ask him in stream... switching to https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/minion-army-infernalist-build-guide ... at least they have proper skills lol

[old oriole]

is this not enough for interlude acts(using lightning spear+primal strikes)

[dire cave]

that looks realy weak

[old oriole]

what do u recommend

[dire cave]

well firstly a higher phys damage

150-200 maybe

as max phys

minimum

[north heart]

Man I’m starting to wonder… are crossbows just overall worse than bows? Lmao. The reload time can be annoying and it feels clunky but a bow just shoots… and keeps shooting… it’s smooth butter with just draw time and that’s it. I’m trynna think what does a cross bow got going and you can even rhowa on it lol

[dire cave]

overall yes

but there is no bolt satchel

[north heart]

A bolt satchel lmao

You mean quiver or?

[dire cave]

was there in beta's I believe

but got removed or is being reworked

so yeah for now bow is better than crossbows but crossbow skills are more fun imo

[old oriole]

wtf is wrong with trade??

[dire cave]

ange got added

press the / key ingame

you no longer need to be online to trade 😛

but you can only trade once you hit act 4 T_T

[old oriole]

i know this is the first time i open the site this league

[old oriole]

but why don't get i get any results??

[dire cave]

probs stat filters wrong

theres local and global

[old oriole]

howww

[dire cave]

lemme try

I see why

you have added to attacks

you need to have regular

@old oriole

[old oriole]

okay

[north heart]

Yeah they are pretty fun now with the new support change. Kill my fps lol

[dire cave]

well I gotta figure out how to stack mana into a stairway to heaven

[eternal marlin]

hi, anyone playing lightning arrow deadeye? im confused what bow to look for do i go for big phys or ele bow?

[old oriole]

which is better?

note that im also loosing +2 from my current weapon

[dire cave]

top

slap in a better iron rune and its better

[old oriole]

which better one?

[dire cave]

the top choice

[brittle kestrel]

Basic 2H sunder build though

[old oriole]

i meant the rune

[dire cave]

just a regular iron rune or greater iron rune

[old oriole]

the weapon already has greater

[dire cave]

in that case its good as is

[old oriole]

nice, ty

[dire cave]

add some quality tho with whetstones

[old oriole]

when do u reckong i should vaal?

[dire cave]

whenever you are feeling lucky I geus

[old oriole]

do i switch to tangletongue when i complete the crit nodes in my tree

cuz my build i follow is using it

[dire cave]

tangletongue is only on hand of wisdom and action if I recall

[old oriole]

oka

[old oriole]

currently what other item can boost my damage more?

[gentle veldt]

anybody have a leveling build for second character?

[stark kettle]

What does this do to Energy Shield? Does it regen like life using the Energy Shield Regen modifiers? Or does it just stop regening permanently?

[old oriole]

probably stops

this is mostly for blood mages

[wind orchid]

I wanna have leech but im using Avatar of Fire. is there anyway to make fire damage leech?

[old oriole]

elemental leech i guess

[livid flume]

https://poe2db.tw/us/Black_Powder_Blitz

Is this a spell?
There's no spell tag but "this spells cast speed cannot be modified"

Are there hidden tags on skills in poe2?

[teal lion]

Does a curse level restriction (i.e. cannot affect enemies above level 49) apply anyways when said curse is socketed into a meta gem like hand of chayula?

[twin quarry]

What website do yall use for builds?

[frozen knot]

Mobalytics if i wanna follow a guide

Path of building if i wanna make my own build

that's not a website tho

[near jewel]

is the build corrupted blod warcy s still possible? I cannot find the warcries that caoses it

it was seismic cry?

[old oriole]

first or third?

[sand juniper]

whats with the random crashes freezes

anyone else?

[near jewel]

I have postred several question over the last few days and ALL are UNANSWERED.

Just go ask in reddit. in about 10-15 min u will get several replies

[uncut ermine]

Hey any1 selling good monk set with bow i could use till lvl 23-25 before hollow palm?

[cobalt vessel]

Can someone recommend me a good spectre or other uses for spirit when I have spirit left over for my spark bloodmage build?
Don't need exposure since I use choir of storms

can't seem to find a decent buff spectre for poe2 so far

[celest oxide]

Someone convince me to keep pushing my deadeye before I reroll to make that cool crossbow Lich build

[mint summit]

Looking for a single target build that doesn’t necessarily need to be good at anything else, just melting pinnacles

Can anyone point me to a video, build, or even other comments here.

[edgy patio]

https://tenor.com/view/do-it-star-wars-emperor-palpatine-palpatine-gif-799657800635657398

do the xbow lich build

i don't know anything about either of them but i just wanted to push you towards what you didn't want in case it turns out to be what you want

[cobalt vessel]

Oh man if anyone's playing bloodmage + Sacrifice of blood

Please consider getting Sanguimantic Rituals + Arcane Surge

It gives huge amount of cast speed and regen buff, my build was kind of meh but it's a powerhouse with just this change

with Kurgal's Gaze Soul Core as well it's a free 31.5% cast speed and 63% regen bonus

[vernal bane]

Anyone done anything particularly crazy with the 100 weapon set passives on witch hunter?

[silent elm]

Does anyone know creators who talk about the math in POE2? I am on maps now trying to build a ranger but not sure where to get the biggest benefits for my stats

[weak plaza]

check dreamcore, he talks about mechanics and math and check https://maxroll.gg/poe2/getting-started/damage-scaling

https://www.youtube.com/@dreamcore_gg/videos

[silent elm]

thanks!

[cobalt vessel]

Yo maybe try this? You are further ahead so it might not work as well, but it was a huuuge survivability boost for my build

[cobalt vessel]

This*

[mental briar]

how much physical damage is it based on skil level?

[burnt finch]

anyone knows whether staggering palm or shattering palm build for hollow palm peforms better?

[rustic arrow]

any torn enjoeyrs ? whats the hype these days still normal ones ? icetomb good ? or whtsup

[summer pasture]

Thorns is still good, got a lot of new toys this patch

Icetomb is good if you're mana stacking

[summer pasture]

Enough that it's comparable or outright better than a amazing staff of your characters level

[rustic arrow]

ye but like is there one of them thats "best"?

or all good

[sharp kestrel]

do totems count as allies?
would stuff like "increased attack damage while an ally is in your presence" work? (since it boosts my damage)
i'm assuming tactician's "25% mainhand damage added to allies" would not work on shockwave totems however?

[summer pasture]

Icetomb required alot of investment so if you're starting thorns warbringer is your best bet

[unreal zinc]

Guys am I good DPS wise for being 76? I'm updating my gear and I havent done the weapon yet but I think its pretty good.. its kinda hard to compare weapons without testing the DPS

[rustic arrow]

do you kill shit before you die?

then you gucci

[jaunty rover]

I cant bro i have a spirit corrupt all res helmet cant afford to lose that

[unreal zinc]

I do but I'm struggleling with the damn ascension loosing honor

Fair I have like 20% more evasion now than the last time i tried

[rustic arrow]

got your honour res maxed?

[unreal zinc]

No i dont think I do

[rustic arrow]

then do and if you can maybe even get some max honour somewhere in there

[unreal zinc]

This all from relics right?

[rustic arrow]

yes

[mental briar]

I would like to know numbers :/

[rustic arrow]

either pob got numbers or look ingame

[mental briar]

Checked both, unfortunatly since POB doesnt have the "punch" skill you cant compare since it says "inaccurate weapon type"

and in game it seems to be a flat phys damage not increased

so cant really tell

[rustic arrow]

welp feeling it is

[cobalt vessel]

Sorry but why does that prevent you from using passives?

[rustic arrow]

wait why would it be anything but flat dmg

[cobalt vessel]

It's just like 8-9 passive points

[rustic arrow]

increased would be useless lmao

[cobalt vessel]

to get crit surge and surge effect and surge effect changed to life gen

[jaunty rover]

I do have two weapon sets points allocated

[cobalt vessel]

Still don't understand but I got it, that's a shame

[jaunty rover]

One goes down all the way to Merc tree one goes to warrior

Uhh lets maybe voice chat and talk tmr lets see what can be done

[cobalt vessel]

May I see your passives? I would love some references for future possible build changes

[mental briar]

Yh but thats exactly why id like to know the numbers

[jaunty rover]

Yea i will download pob and link it to you when i get hone

Home

[mental briar]

Because ofcourse wanna know how it compares to just having the weapon in slot, definitely stronger for sure

but just wanna know by how much

[jaunty rover]

Will be quite a while tho but basically its taking all the outside passive points to strength

[mental briar]

You can also just make it on maxroll or mobalytics

bit easier to navigate the UI to make builds there

[jaunty rover]

[drifting burrow]

What would be the best warrior ascendancy for actively blocking?

i.e. using retaliate support for attacks

[jaunty rover]

I think the only difference we are gonna have is i got a wand with +5 lightning, +1 to all spell skills rune and t1 t2 damage caster nodes

And atalui on spark

Even have reservation on it

Without that the damage goes 140k base but really hard to maintain it

[sharp canopy]

what is the best invoker monk build rn?

[heavy acorn]

i m trying to buy a constricting command, but there is no filter for require fewer enemies, anyone know how i can filter this? (it only has "Require # Additional enemies to be surrounded")

[atomic halo]

type a negative number

-5 additional is the same as 5 fewer

[heavy acorn]

oh ty!

[lavish sapphire]

Is there a way to if not aoe, then move marks from being a single target skill?

[hybrid needle]

Cant get a square answer on this:
**Does an item like choir of the storms always proc the best equipped "lightning bolt" i have? Am worried the provided level X on the ammy will be proc'd **

[static plinth]

It will always proc the one on the amulet
Also isnt the one on the amulet Greater Lightning Bolt anyway

[static torrent]

They changed it back to regular Lightning Bolt.

[buoyant frost]

i'm not a smart exile but i want to try for a tri element infusion stacking stormweaver, i'll have a lot of infusions, nearly always capped
but the elemental wheels alone may not be enough to scale dps
my smol brain says elemental conflux and trinity but that's 240 spirit so scepter might be needed
is stacking crit/crit-dmg and +spell level enough?
planning fireball / arc / nova and firestorm as spenders

[sand juniper]

how to change map device skin?

[static torrent]

Open up the decoration list and place down the new Map Device.

[sand juniper]

thank you so much

[remote ledge]

Hello, is there a way to use overcharge support gem such that it ignites yourself instead of shocking yourself?

[sand juniper]

anyone dealt with the support before?

i do have question before i bother and contact them because it takes them ages to answer

[novel oar]

Is it normal that after 4/5 Lightning arrows I need to drink from my mana flask ?

[abstract nimbus]

can someone advice me an atlas passive tree i can follow?

[jaunty oak]

When I apply the Perfect Essence that adds +6 to all Skills will that 100% remove a Suffix?

[rain dust]

How easy is it to stun with spears?

[abstract grove]

Do endgame mobs tend to have a lot or very little elemental res? Is it trash mobs have low but bosses have high?

[quiet forge]

Not the point of the weapon type, but possible

[quiet forge]

Map mobs except for magics/rares are 0, tanky rares => uniques have anywhere between 30 to 70

you probably won't ever need full 100%

go 50 unless you find you need 70

[abstract grove]

I was just thinking with weapon swaps, where all my ignite and fire pen are on ws2 for a fat hotg, but ws1 doesn't have any fire pen at all since it's for clearing/AOE. Was wondering if I needed to stick fire pen support in it if I went AoF, but I might not need to. Thx

[rain dust]

Well in order to generate glory for spear of Solaris i would need to stun enemies

[quiet forge]

Stun only gets tracked from physical damage, you're stuck using twister or an off-hand to generate stun, try quarterstaff or mace

[halcyon solar]

what's like the best currency to bank/invest atm? Probably greater/perfect Ex?

[near timber]

called shots voltaic mark flicker strike? 🤔

[static plinth]

This isnt true

You inflict 50% more Stun with physical damage

And another 50% from melee damage

[quiet forge]

in theory you can stun with elemental damage, in practice most abilities that will be stunning are probably physical

my statement doesn't have to mean "You CAN'T stun with ANYTHING BUT phys"

[static plinth]

Not any harder than any skill without dedicated stun modifiers (ie wind blast)

I wouldnt expect more than 2 stuns per boss or 1 per rare if youre not using a dedicated stun skill or stun supports

[halcyon solar]

Why doesn't Paranoia give +% rares anymore? 😮

[static plinth]

"Stun only gets tracked from phys" i dont see how that can mean anything else

[quiet forge]

see how even your example was phys skill?

I appreciate your um ackshually though

[rancid musk]

hello! i have no idea what i should choose for my witch ascendancy and im new player.. i just been like putting all my skill points into minions and spamming contagion haha which path do i wanna go if i just wanna spam minions

[quiet forge]

Lich

[rancid musk]

ok thank you

[drifting burrow]

any damage type can stun, phys just gets a bonus to stun buildup

[latent dawn]

~~If I have this on Weapon Set 2 (I use this to summon my totems) and then attack with Weapon Set 1

I know the 2% inc dmg taken to enemies will stay but will the recoup also stay since its from the totems?~~

Managed to test it and works 👍

[pallid knoll]

I need some help regarding caltrops. It says it deals 75% of default attack damage, does that mean it deals 75% of the damage a spear stab would do? Or even spear throw

[mint summit]

Attack Damage is a specific number generated from your weapon and whatever adds to that (flat damage). All attack skills, even “spear stab,” do a multiplier of that Attack Damage.

[drifting burrow]

Default attack damage is something different though

[pallid knoll]

Yes, but it says 75% of default attack damage

[mint summit]

🤔

[drifting burrow]

If you check the tooltip in game it says Default Attack Damage is NOT the numbers on your weapon, it's a sort of "universal" damage value

[summer pasture]

It based off your spear strike

[drifting burrow]

I think Holy is maybe correct

I think it's based off your weapons default attack skill

[pallid knoll]

yes, I did some testing myself right now, and it seems about right

[mint summit]

https://poe2db.tw/us/Default_Attack_Damage

Huh, ok

[drifting burrow]

Yeah it's a sort of weird thing but apparently most enemy types in the game use this system

And just scale/convert as needed

[pallid knoll]

I tried using caltrops on spear throw and using Jamanra as a target dummy, and it seems to do about 75% of the damage of it on average

or maybe a bit less

[alpine basin]

Wait, so if a skill does damage based on default attack, and i socket gems into my default attack skill, does it scale that skills damage as well?

[pallid knoll]

I assume it would just scale of the base default attack damage

[alpine basin]

Darn. Really want to make armor explosion better 🙁

[summer pasture]

Base

[pale niche]

no?

[alpine basin]

Good lord guys. I get it.

A man can dream

[pale niche]

No i mean, skills deal damage based on the weapon, not the default attack :p

[alpine basin]

Armor explosion says based 30% of default attack damage

[pale niche]

Like having played far too much warrior were Mace Attack is straight up the best skill for half the campaign, i would love that 😂

[burnt finch]

can someone take a look at my build and explain why I cant stay alive in a t13 map?
https://poe.ninja/poe2/builds/abyss/character/velirath-2846/Exq?i=0&search=class%3DDeadeye%26skills%3DTempest%2BFlurry%252CCalled%2BShots%252CFalling%2BThunder%252CIce%2BStrike%26name%3Dexq

[pale niche]

4.5k energy shield

while being melee too i guess

[versed yacht]

does anyone know what exactly cost efficiency of skills mean here? Would it apply to the energy consumed by meta skills?

[pallid knoll]

I'm thinking of a meme caltrops build, reducing their duration enough to trigger before they hit the ground, using nova projectiles on storm lance, so 20 caltrops spawn at once

[burnt finch]

4.5 is not low no? It goes up for like 5.5

[pseudo junco]

is there an easy way to automate frenzy charge generation on lightning spear huntress during campaign?

[pale niche]

I would guess you just die to trash?

[mint summit]

an enemy exploding due to a passive node effect e.g. Explosive Impact would not be scaled by stuff that affects either Attacks or Spells, correct?

[burnt finch]

not really, trash is fine, I get overrun whether is abyss or breach

[pale niche]

Abyss i get since it's overtuned to hell, you running Delirium?

[mint summit]

probably more of a damage issue than defenses, unless you're getting stunned

[sacred sail]

https://pobb.in/-4YDKUNVnrRK hey could someone give me some advice for my build (SIEGE CASCADE + MORTAR(bosses)? im dying to big hit even elemental sometimes, my recovery isn't the best and my boss dmg isn't amazing either, I barely cleared simulacrum 2 I feel squishy I live on the edge

[pale niche]

yeah at this point it seems so

[sacred sail]

im just very happy with my clear

[pale niche]

For clear survavibility use Font of Blood

(and a phys weapon)

What Ascendency are you using?

[sacred sail]

tactician

[pale niche]

no i mean the points

can't see it on what you passed

[sacred sail]

double pin

spirit

defensive node

[pale niche]

Oh because you linked a 0.2 tre somehow

[sacred sail]

👀

sorry about that

[high warren]

should I take this if im running wind blast? would it work well?

[mint summit]

the paranoia passive says "50% increased Surrounded Area of Effect." Does that imply that sources of generic AOE scaling will also scale the Surrounded radius?

[burnt finch]

not abyss maps, just abyss on the map

[pale niche]

Yeah i got it, i meant just abyss rares are overtuned with infinite hp/damage

[burnt finch]

I feel like I lack sustain on my es, when it goes down it takes 10 years to go up again and I have to run away

and during breach/abyss I cant kill mobs fast enough for herald of fire to pop off

[pale niche]

btw generally speaking, i would say get the defend with 200% armor and Armor works for Ele, that will make you a lot tankier than some random ass auras

[burnt finch]

if I stop killing them then Im dead and sometimes I have to stop to refresh my staggering palm buff

[high warren]

you could try using essentia sanguis. I dont know how that would effect your dps tho. would probably help with es

[sacred sail]

I was hesitating using the unique belt make me defend with 200% of armour up to 50% phys mitigation

[pale niche]

I mean yeah that's what i expected, while that amount of ES works for ranged offscreen builds, for melee with no leech i feel like you'll just slowly die to pings here and there

[pale niche]

Nah, just respec your ascedency imho, don't bother with the belt

That node doubles your Armor used for Ele, that's why it's great

[sacred sail]

omg I can still run scavenged plating

nice

I just can't use blasphemy

yeah I need a phys weapon

i'll look for one on trade

[pale niche]

If you got like 150 total ex you can craft one super easy

[sacred sail]

got 300ex

[high warren]

would this be worth it on wind blast

[pale niche]

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/guides/crossbow-craft

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Rise of the Abyssal/zj3pdQLF4

[sacred sail]

are they always dazed ?

[high warren]

yes

[pale niche]

Well, that's my nade base, don't really get your build but something like that

[sacred sail]

phys would be for my clearing weapon

[high warren]

wind blast hass 100% daze rate

[sacred sail]

since leech doesn't work on grenade

totem

[pale niche]

jesus the bases went down fast, i bought mine yesterday for 100ex, what the fuck 😂

[sacred sail]

I understand

[pale niche]

Oh no

There's a support skill gem

[burnt finch]

so how do I fix that, do I get rid of ci and go life?

[pale niche]

Font of Blood

[sacred sail]

tbh I hate my totem a bit

[pale niche]

you could try essentia sanguis as flimberton said

[sacred sail]

I have 2 they are slow and squishy

the time I need to cast them

insane

[high warren]

wind blast has 100% daze rate

[pale niche]

yeah you need some totem placement speed :p

[halcyon solar]

What's like the smartest way to make this one perfect. Preferably with +Lightning damage, since it's really good already?

[sacred sail]

do you one shot monster or hit several time

[high warren]

ive been using it on my monk. its pretty good for keeping es up

[burnt finch]

okay, thank you

[high warren]

1-2 hits

[high warren]

maybe 3-4

[pale niche]

The best way would be to slam with the same mod type omen, but you could hit cold too

[sacred sail]

first hit apply daze and the other one benefit

so it's your call

I don't think it's bad

[halcyon solar]

the homogenbla Omen?

[pale niche]

Yeah, let me check a second

[high warren]

im wondering if i should distill it tho

[pale niche]

Nope wouldn't work

You could get all the elemental%

[sacred sail]

@pale nichengl I love my tech with armour explosion on pin with endurance charge gain on pin or something for charge regulation

[pale niche]

I don't think there's a way to guarantee a flat roll

[sacred sail]

i felt smart finding it

[halcyon solar]

suffixes are already full?

[sacred sail]

19% more defense

[pale niche]

it's the primary cold/lightning/fire damage%

I mean, christ, you could even hit Accuracy due to the flat damage

[halcyon solar]

ah yeah, but in the end the chance is still better than blindly slaming an ex?

[pale niche]

Yeah honestly, i don't think there's anything you can do

i mean

you would lose let's see

Evasion and Mana

and Rarity

everything else you could hit because they go off either the res or the attack roll

at that point i'm not sure it's worth the price of that thing

[high warren]

should I distill or just path there

[halcyon solar]

it's just a few ex for the omen and the thing is already worth divines

[pale niche]

if you plan to sell it, sell it as is

[halcyon solar]

you think?

[pale niche]

I mean it's 88ex

Yeah, there's too much you could hit

[sacred sail]

hmm idk how are the travel node ? don't you have better to distill somewhere

[high warren]

where does uul-Netols support gem drop

[high warren]

not sure

[high warren]

they give more dmg against dazed and daze rate up

[high warren]

im homebrewing the whole build so i dunno

[sacred sail]

distill is best for stuff you can't path toward or make you save way more points

[pale niche]

Like i don't think it's worth wasting 100+ex to hope to hit something

[halcyon solar]

I added the desecrated mod with an active reroll Omen. Maybe i should have rerolled for an attack mod instead of Lightning Res. However the 39% seemed so juicy.

[sacred sail]

I mean not like it's a bad thing to do

if it's cheap do it and later you can reevaluate it

[pale niche]

It was a suffix anyway, couldn't ever be a prefix roll

[high warren]

the only thing id want to distill other than that is a more chaos to phys node

phys to chaos i mean

[pale niche]

i mean

[high warren]

I udnerstand

[pale niche]

Momentum is always nice to anoint

if you got free cash

and don't know what to anoint

[high warren]

momentum?

[halcyon solar]

oh you mean you ONLY get get suffix/prefix from the Well? There is no mix and you can't reroll into another?

[pale niche]

+3%ms and remove armor -movement

so it's usually like 5-10% ms

[pale niche]

Yep

[high warren]

huh

[sacred sail]

it's hard to find such a weapon 😮

[high warren]

dont use armour tho

[pale niche]

That's why there are some omen that make you guarantee only prefix or suffix with desecrate

[atomic halo]

why use the ingame search

instead of just website

[sacred sail]

I prefer staying in game if I can

what's wrong with it ?

[halcyon solar]

jeeez i didn't know about those. What are they called?

[atomic halo]

for one, you can't link the trade anymore

[pale niche]

it's the second count that is fucking with things

[sacred sail]

I guess I will give up on reload speed

[high warren]

I honestly dont know what to path towards anymore on my build. Ive kinda hit everything I want at lvl 79

Probably more deffences but I dunno

[sacred sail]

two div

[halcyon solar]

can you have multiple omens active when rolling?

[pale niche]

nope

[pale niche]

btw honestly it's usually cheaper to just roll your weapon yourself, unless you REALLY need the Load an additional bolt

[halcyon solar]

btw what do you use for checking prices atm? I used simple sidekick tried awakened today and awakened seems pretty awful for 0.3

[pale niche]

you believe in the awful awakened xd

[random mason]

Anyway to make chaos damage somehow be reduced by elemental resistance or armor? Like 20% of chaos damage counts as elemental damage or something.

[halcyon solar]

i mean you don't even see the other offers your items is compared to, no?

[high warren]

what nodes would you path toward if you were running a chaos/phys monk. im kinda stumped now that ive hit lvl 79

[pale niche]

there's an armor desecration for it

[atomic halo]

there are sources of armour applies to chaos

[pale niche]

Body Armor*

[pale niche]

? yes you do?

[random mason]

That sounds good

[pale niche]

Or i don't understand what you mean xd

Did you fix the league you're checking with Awakened?

that could be the problem, at league start it was on standard and not the new league

[halcyon solar]

I get this at first. How would i check the other offers down there? And how did you figure out the 88ex? 😄

[pale niche]

for the Omen? oh i just checked Ange

[halcyon solar]

oh you ment the omen. I ment checking for the item itself.

[pale niche]

oh no, for PoE2 i use PoE overlay, my bad xd

[high warren]

is sphagettifacation worth or do the downsides outweight the possitives

[pale niche]

(try updating it at leas)

because that looks fucked

[halcyon solar]

the Overwolf one? is it better than sidekick?

[pale niche]

Absolutely no idea, i simply had this installed when poe2 just came out and it was the only one there was ahahah

But it works well

[halcyon solar]

I just haven't felt like installing Overwolf to run the plug in so far. Maybe I'll try it now.

[pale niche]

I mean, try upgrading what you're using

It could be simply that

[sacred sail]

@pale niche do you know a way for me to get power charge ?

I solved endurance

if I get power change I can go crit

[cerulean sigil]

Are you melee?

[abstract grove]

with this node and fist of war 3, does the double ancestral boost effect effect every 2nd ancestral slam, or does the 2x effect only kick in after the 14s cooldown?

[pale niche]

Charges honestly i got no idea man 😂

All i know about this league, is that Banners are absolutely awful unless you're full support

[cerulean sigil]

I use reapers invocation and profane ritual for easy power charges. But you’d need melee attacks

[high warren]

how would yall go about getting more vollitility against bosses. I can consitentaly get the max amount of 200 against mobs, but im sturggling to ramp that number up against bosses. i usually get 30+ against them

[sacred sail]

crossbow tactician

[pale niche]

Do you get it from any hits? I guess you're Unarmed monk?

[sacred sail]

@pale nichei'll farm crossbow base slowly and try to craft my own

[high warren]

yes. i have volitility on wind blast, staggering palm and whirling assault. i also have Unravelling

[pale niche]

let me check your base, it's probably even cheaper

[pale niche]

What about stuff like eye of winter with a ton of projectiles?

[sacred sail]

geminimi crossbow it seem

[high warren]

is that a spell?

[pale niche]

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade2/search/poe2/Rise of the Abyssal/zjOdYV2c4

Yeah it's cheap as fuck, just follow the guide i posted before

just don't do the grenade stuff xd

[sacred sail]

yeah I need to find a way to get third phys mod

[pale niche]

ye, elementalist

[halcyon solar]

i simply am too scared to ruin this thing. Since i can't find smth comparable on the market, due to the bunch of res and no additional attack mod. What do you think this is worth?

[high warren]

Hmm. I could try it

[pale niche]

You just prefix desecrate, and hope to god

[sacred sail]

maybe the one thatr make me more likely to have same kind of modifier

if it has already phys

[pale niche]

Doesn't work with desecrate

[sacred sail]

oh

[pale niche]

It's literally just pray xd

but again

even just that %+flat and +6

it's gonna be a real damage increase

You can even get the onslaught if you want to get lucky

[high warren]

does it have a high base crit? what supoorts would work to get more voli

[pale niche]

Oh it's on crit that? :v

[high warren]

yeah

[high warren]

i get it on crit and elemental ailment proc

[pale niche]

No idea how that works on crit then sorry, i can't remember if every projectile is countent by itself or not

[high warren]

it works on staggering palms projectiles

[high warren]

ive been using staggering palm and whirling assualt to shit out out a tone of strikes and projectiles to get a lot but it doesnt really work against bosses

[pale niche]

I mean, if you got a free slot you could try it with a 4l

just give it crit and some more projectiles

[high warren]

4l?

[high warren]

hmm

[pale niche]

4 links, poe1 things :p

[high warren]

ah yeah

illl try that and see if it works

[high warren]

I just looked and it says eye of winter does not "hit"

I dont think itll work

rather, it wont work

[pale niche]

No that's how the skill works

The eye doesn't hit, the projectiles it fire does

[high warren]

huh

guess i read that wrong

[pale niche]

It's fine, weird ass wording :p

Christ the 1.40 sec cast time

fuck that noise

give up, cancel

[quiet forge]

use a trigger meta gem

[pale niche]

I don't think at that point it's worth it

what about the shitty arrow thing at that point

[sacred sail]

@pale niche it was the ghazzy vid you linked right ?

[high warren]

yeah that kinda sucks

[pale niche]

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/guides/crossbow-craft

[sacred sail]

oh

[pale niche]

Just ignore the Omen of the Liege

[sacred sail]

thanks

[pale niche]

since that's for mortar stuff

but the rest is pretty much identical

[high warren]

any other ideas?

[pale niche]

There's the lightning arrow thing

[high warren]

ew

i dont like meta

[pale niche]

No i meant

The one that hits a lot, but that could be poe1 let me check xd

Do you have Frenzy Charges?

Storm Lance could be an option, maybe?

[high warren]

nah

[high warren]

ok

[high warren]

maybe

[sacred sail]

@pale niche so the crafting is pretty much guaranteed

my only issue is getting the phys mod

on desecrate

i'll buy reroll

with all my money

[pale niche]

Prett ymuch you guarantee 2 prefix, and the +6/onslaught

nah not worth it

just buy/drop more bases

[sacred sail]

it's 34exalt

[pale niche]

Like with that it's 5 hits a second using a frenzy charges

[sacred sail]

for the reroll

[high warren]

would more crit chnace work? i have 25% rn

[pale niche]

Yeah it's the price of a base

not worth it KEKW

[high warren]

which skill?

[pale niche]

Storm lance while spending a frenzy

[sacred sail]

it seem to be kinda worth it then no ?you are not losing much money

[pale niche]

Do you do chain lightning somehow? ahahah

[high warren]

would requrie another weapon tho

[high warren]

?

[pale niche]

No what i mean is, it's better just making one

Even without the good hit it's gonna be miles better than anything you got

[pale niche]

yeah, i mean, one hand is empty, the other is spear/bow for some spells

[halcyon solar]

ehm, shouldn't liquid paranoia add rare amount?

[high warren]

you have to have both empty for holow palm to wokr

weapon swamp might work tho

[pale niche]

Yeah i meant weapon swap sorry

Because that spear seems "passable" since it's fire once and forget for like 3sec

[high warren]

i would link my build bit I dunno how

[pale niche]

otherwise there's lightning rod from Bow

[high warren]

hmm

[pale niche]

but for that to work you need Chain Lightning

[halcyon solar]

or to ask differently: What Delirium instil adds + rare monster amount?

[high warren]

i think right now i should just stack attack speed and crit chance on my whirling assault

[pale niche]

Oh no, it's just bow/crossbow, Rod doesn't work

[high warren]

the other options just seem too complicated

[pale niche]

Yeah at this point yeah :p

[high warren]

im using rage III and rapid attacks II is there any others that icnrease speed

i only use whirling to stack volatilitiy so im not worried about dmg

[high warren]

any ideas? for supports

i think i hvae all that increase attack speed

[sacred sail]

@pale nichedude I got it it was much easier than I expected

I was scared for nothing

also it make me save 6 points

I don't need armour break works for fire hit anymore 😎

[pale niche]

yeah as i said

God damn fucking even got the other %phys

[pale niche]

At that point it would be probably best making two different weapon sets

[sacred sail]

T6

[pale niche]

And you have 24 points where you can just slam all the crit/AS on the tree

Still xd

[high warren]

Mayhaps

there is a crit chance against dazed enmies i dont have

[high warren]

theres a 40% crit chance against dazed near me

[pale niche]

Mostly it's about having like one skill for bosses on a different weapon set

that you know you could generate a lot of charges with

[sacred sail]

if I take iron reflexe I keep the same deflect thanks from ascendancy then I can take lucky deflect unlucky evade

but evade is probably very very good

defensive wise

[high warren]

yeah

[pale niche]

yes

[sacred sail]

with overleech and my phys crossbow

[pale niche]

(if you cjust care about tactician 20% from armor)

[sacred sail]

small hit should be fine

I mean I'll try a few maps

also I need to change my gear for some

ele dmg amrour

[pale niche]

the 200% defence node and going full armor it's stupidly op with armor for ele

[alpine basin]

Anyone know why compressed duration doesn’t reduce the duration of charging on magma barrier? Or anyway to do so?

[pale niche]

Since it double it

[sacred sail]

do I even care about not having hp ? I can probably run under 2K hp with all these % dmg reudction

trading life roll for more armour

[summer pasture]

yes as there is no hp on the tree any sources of hp are needed and being under 2k hp is asking for a 1shot regardless of defenese

[sacred sail]

GOT IT

im gonna be immortal soon

[mental briar]

Anyone made a one punch man type build using the base punch

After finding out hollow palm even tho it shows quarterstaff attack it still uses the punch

[high warren]

?

[mental briar]

It may be doable now

[mental briar]

As in hollow palm the quarterstaff strike does a punch

[high warren]

ive been using hollow palm with wind blast

i dont know if what you want is doable tho

[mental briar]

As in ideally using the punch you clear the screen, but its very unlikely xD

Just wondering if anyone tried making one

[alpine basin]

Anyone know of a way to reduce magma barriers charge time? Compressed duration doesn’t seem to work, at least if i’m following tool tip

[mental briar]

May be cooldown related then

not duration related

[high warren]

is there anything like a herald that could be used with wind blast/ phys skills? I wish there was a herald of chaos

[mental briar]

Technically if you have enough bleed chance herald of blood

Procs on Phys damage

[alpine basin]

Oh. I’ll try that! Thanks

[high warren]

I have zero bleed chance

I have daze and chaos dmg

[mental briar]

The only "herald of chaos" like thing is probably the contagion skill spreading chaos DoTs

[high warren]

is there something similar that does soemthing on stun?

or heavy stun

[eternal snow]

Is there a minimum spirit amount I should look for on my sceptre for a minion build? Obviously more is better. I am just not sure how much I should prioritize it over pure minion damage.

[timid basin]

Anyone using lich eternal life and Last lament???

[halcyon solar]

I'm not playing minions this season. So what is with this 100 spirit there? Is this the requirement to equipt it, since it's no implicit, which would give you like 100 spirit?

[static plinth]

Armour Explosion support maybe?

[full wasp]

@timid basin just had it drop and tempted to build it, dont know if i want to run ele or chaos using original sin

[high warren]

hmm

how exactly does that work, im not in hideout to check

[sacred sail]

2 orb and this lol

[pale niche]

the best is probably slam chaos res

[static plinth]

Ig youd have to sac two supports (one to break armour and then armour explosion) so not worth it

It causes enemies to explode whenever you fully break their armor

[carmine flicker]

In my desire to make one button build I actually outdid myself and made a build that have no useful secondary button I could use
that's kinda sad tbh

[high warren]

yeah. that would work if I had uul-netols embrace. but thats like 9 divs

[jaunty oak]

Repeated question: Does a Perfect Essence always remove the affix that itself represents?

Aka. adding +6 Skill Levels removes a Suffix?

Also because I am out of the loop for the last update: How important is Rarity nowadays? Back in League 0 it was "Every piece of gear has to have it"

[atomic halo]

no, it's just that it may be forced to do that if that pool is full

as in, if the essence will add a suffix, and the suffixes are already full, it must remove a suffix, otherwise the suffixes would be full when it tries to add a suffix

[halcyon solar]

I formed the opinion that Waystone rarity is actually a bad node to take on the Atlas since I'd rather have no mods and slam an Alch instead of the extra exalt on my maps.

[jaunty oak]

OK so if my singular suffix is trash rn I just Exalt it up to 3 and then apply the Essence?

[pale niche]

If the weapon is full yes

Since it can't have 4 suffixes it removes a Suffix

If you have 3 prefix and 2 suffix, it could remove a prefix

[jaunty oak]

Aight, gambling it is then

[pale niche]

It's usually better just finishing prefixes, then slam random suffix and then start the suffix essences

[jaunty oak]

Yeah I think I have a good set of prefixes on my crossbow ... T3 Phys% with T3 flat Phys from essences and a T1 bonus damage per Distance

+6 Projectile Skills and + Attack Speed would be the dream now

[pale niche]

Generally speaking for weapons

[jaunty oak]

But I can live without the Speed

[pale niche]

the best way to craft them is buy a blue base with 150% phys

Slam the flat phys essence

Desecrate the prefix for anything useful

then slam suffixes, then if you get anything useful, slam +6

[jaunty oak]

Already done all that 😉

[pale niche]

if not, slam first the Onslaught on kill since it's cheaper

then the +6

at least it's a fake AS :p

[jaunty oak]

Sad that Life Leech only applies to Physical damage

My explosive shot does fire based on physical ...

[pale niche]

isn't like 80% conversion?

20% is usually enough to keep you topped up

[jaunty oak]

I see almost no change to my HP bar when I hit anything

I have a 2% Regen on Kill Jewel

That's like 99% of my healing

Any life leech I have from my ring doesn't affect me at all

[proven rapids]

is that global chance to bleed or bleed with weapon only ?

[pale niche]

i would say with weapon, but it could be either way 😂

[sharp kestrel]

anyone tried molten blast? i keep thinking it could be good with tactician's pin + broken armour for fire, but it seems very rare, so it's probably nowhere near the top skills in performance

[pseudo gale]

anyone know if this abyss mod is precalc? or would it be useless with original sin?

[halcyon solar]

how can you specify in trade that you want an item without any modifiers?

just a white base
or a white waystone

[alpine basin]

Set rarity to normal

[halcyon solar]

does that work for waystones aswell?

[pale niche]

... you can buy waystones? :p

[alpine basin]

I don’t see why not

[pale niche]

( imean white ones)

[south ivy]

hey idk if this would be correct channel so if not let me know ill ask there. but im playing merc and im not sure if i should focus on armor or evasion as a def. im looking at the nodes and it seems like u want both more so if u go legionnaire (which i am) so thought id ask and see if there is any tips or things i should know/ keep in mind when looking for gear. like should i get only Armor equipment or should i get just EV or gear with both?

[alpine basin]

Just tried it. Works fine

[halcyon solar]

i want to get decent 16's and build them myself. you either get absolutely horrible mods otherwise mostly

[alpine basin]

Don’t you have to corrupt 15 to 16 or did they change that?

Haven’t gotten that far into mapping yet this league

[halcyon solar]

yeah if you want to get higher than 17 you have to corrupt. Otherwise you could go with Irradiated and Corrupted on the map.

[alpine basin]

Oh, got it. Yeah, so same as usual.

[teal sail]

Any tips on building a melee/parry huntress? Never played huntress before

[proven rapids]

How does these two interact ? Do I break 50% of armour, no more no less on pinning an enemy OR do I break 50% of armour increased by all the break #% increased armour ?

[digital axle]

sorry for weird question, but whats the duration of cursed ground? or it has no duration?

[vagrant sedge]

guys i dont know where to get curse gems? i need elemental weakness. but i have no idea where to get it

[summer pasture]

it increase the amount broken, if you get 100% increased armor broken it will full break on pinning

[proven rapids]

oh ok, great !

thank you

[digital axle]

use skill gem

[atomic halo]

Players Break Armour 3 times against Normal Monsters and 2 times Armour against Magic Monsters.
also dont forget abt this

[proven rapids]

ohhhhhhhh

i totally forgot this

[vagrant sedge]

ohhhh its a skilly gem?? bro no wonder

[marsh kayak]

Donno what to play have a summoner but want something different

[hidden siren]

go deadeye

[naive mason]

in 0.2, i remember something let us cancel the final hit of a skill. for primal strikes for example, you could keep attacking and it would act as if its your 1st or 2nd attack. but i cant remember what it was. was it a support gem or a passive point?

[pale niche]

You break 50% armor, if you then have 100% increased armor break you break 100% armor for like 90% of the stuff

Some enemies have an innate reduction to break amor, so it's gonna take two pins

[proven rapids]

oh ok

ty

[marsh kayak]

Ok what should I go into. Like lighting arrow or detonating arrow

[halcyon solar]

can you actually have +7 melee skills since this is only T2?

[pale niche]

+7 is 81 ilevel

or i don't get what you're saying 😂

[halcyon solar]

nono you got it, thanks 🙂

[pale niche]

no i meant, that is t2 mod, it can only roll 5-6 as it say

for t1 mod that gives +7 you need ilevel 81 (as is that one)

[teal lion]

Hey. Charged Staff says that the damage is granted per power charge, up to my maximum number of power charges.

Now if I get One with the Storm, will I get twice the damage?

Or will it be still capped up to my maximum?

[atomic halo]

not double

just +1

[pale niche]

^

[atomic halo]

but yeah that +1 will go over cap

[teal lion]

Oh, it's +1

Ok thanks

[fickle thistle]

What do yall think of this huntress Ritualist skill? Coz honestly ive been trying it and it just... doesnt last long and takes long to use and its feeling like crap

[rugged kraken]

grab the node prolonged assault to make it last longer and try to get stuff that improves duration?

[gray gate]

Hey guys, do you know by any chance - once you have Blackflame Covenant, do you still receive dmg boosts from fire damage bonuses or you should be going ONLY chaos to increase your damage?

[fickle thistle]

hmm maybe duration could help i see. but its still a pain in the ass to cast since i have to walk over the enemy rares body and activate it over there corpse. doesnt auto target from a ditance or anything

[carmine flicker]

only chaos

[gray gate]

So fire damage % on wand does nothing at that point?

[atomic halo]

global modifiers to fire damage do nothing

because the damage is chaos at that point

[carmine flicker]

%added as fire or %increased fire?

[rugged kraken]

well its kinda like headhunter at home right

[gray gate]

increased 👀 there is difference? 😄

[carmine flicker]

a big one, ofc

[halcyon solar]

I find the interaction that you run Delirium for the "Liquids", but if you use them you can't use the Mirror anymore kind of weird and contradicting itself. Imo you simply should be able to have both active.

[gray gate]

so increased does help damage, added nope? Right?

[carmine flicker]

opposite

[halcyon solar]

So it turns kind of turns out that you want Delirium on a "non juiced" are and NO Delirium in your tablet juiced zones.

[carmine flicker]

that would work

and that one won't

[gray gate]

@carmine flicker Sorry for bothering, but could you have just a moment, we are looking for better wand and I am not sure what would be good deal for 1 div

[carmine flicker]

you go blackflame with what skill?

[halcyon solar]

increased as extra is the #1 stat you want for many sorc builds

[gray gate]

@carmine flicker Fireball, witch

@carmine flicker Fiance has lvl 79 and her wand just sucks, she playes the dueling wand with the spellslinger Snap

[carmine flicker]

you can get smth like that probably?

idk, didn't play fireball

easier ignite, spell damage, +5 lvls, all good stats

[gray gate]

I feel like I am missing stats like chaos damage? Or does the Spell damage cover everything? meaning spell damage 130% > spell damage 100% and chaos damage 30%?

[carmine flicker]

130 spell damage = 100 spell and 30 chaos

equal

[atomic halo]

they are both part of the stat "increased damage"

so if all your damage is chaos spell damage, there is no difference whatsoever between increased chaos damage and increased spell damage

[gray gate]

Okay, didnt know if 1 stat did ahve like "priority" or smth

[carmine flicker]

all increases are addictive

[atomic halo]

"chaos" and "spell" are just qualifiers to see if the "increased damage" will apply to a given amount of damage

[atomic halo]

not wrong

[carmine flicker]

if you have 100% increased spell, 30% increased chaos and 100% increased projectile damage(fireball is projectile) you have 230% increased

so don't bother, just get spell damage + lvl of fire spells
look for cast speed or crit too, but not a priority

[gray gate]

Righto righto...so you think the the wand you sent is the "best" choice atm? 😄

[carmine flicker]

it's literally first one in search with +5 fire gem and 120% increased spell

flammability magnitude is cherry on top

[carmine flicker]

do you have any idea where can I put my guide?
I really make a good build(I think so at least) and want to share

[atomic halo]

a thread maybe

we're not super keen on self-advertisement (even if just for a build)

but you can also just post it and ask for advice

[sharp kestrel]

can you desecrate a weapon that has already been unveiled? or must you annul it first?
