2┃build-planning

[atomic halo]

get rid of the first

[carmine flicker]

it's like really good tho
5k recovery per second(unconditional), 12k pool, around 30% less damage taken on top, 200k DPS

[atomic halo]

you can post it in #2┃general

and just say check out this awesome build

[carmine flicker]

can afk tank ultimatum "tornado bird", breach boss and shit

150 stacks king of mist debuff tanked(I stayed in that area just to see if I can)

[night saddle]

For an ED/contaigion build would having an extra totem buff for dark effigy be worth it for the extra dps against tanky bosses (i lose like 100 enery shield snd some resists, gain 200 armor but also get a debuff curse when the totem expires)

[carmine flicker]

yeah, it just pains me when I see people suffer with ed/c when they could have way more power for way less struggles

[halcyon solar]

There is no way of including like Implicits resistances and explicit ones when searching trade, right? You basically have to always create a huge weighted sum with all ex/and implicit resistances?

[uncut sonnet]

Ye I think the trade site is behind on development. They'll get to it later

[halcyon solar]

i mean it's been like that since poe1, no?

[uncut sonnet]

I thought poe1 had implicit and explicit specific search terms, will check

[atomic halo]

poe1 you just pseudo

poe2 sucks compared to pseudo

[uncut sonnet]

Yea i think it's the pseudo terms that are missing

[halcyon solar]

oh true i forgot about pseudo.

[atomic halo]

it's like 5 seconds versus a full minute to do basically the same filter

[halcyon solar]

if you could at least "save" your search setup, so that you could have a group for that pre made.

since throwing all ex/implicit resistances in a huge bucket is relevant for most gear pieces.

[uncut sonnet]

U can save the url no?

Or u meant save just a group of search terms

and reuse them

[halcyon solar]

hm, tbh i have only used ingame trade so far. Since when i used the website I had huge trouble finding it ingame again.

[uncut sonnet]

The ingame version deletes everything when I close the window, which annoyed me enough to switch back to the website

The persistence is a huge feature imo

When using the ingame one I would go to trade an item, and have nowhere to cross reference I was looking at the item I found in my trade search because it was gone

Highly recommend the site. Also has live search

[halcyon solar]

yeah, but if you could at least go with an ID or smth

I tried it that way once and almost had to setup the whole filter again to find it ingame, so I really cba to do this again

[uncut sonnet]

You don't have to find it ingame if you found it on the site

But yea, you can't move searches easily from game to site or vice versa

[halcyon solar]

I mean if I want to buy the thing at their hideout i need the "teleport to" button, which is only ingame, o r not?

[empty smelt]

I specced Right Hand of Darkness (AoE) for frozen mandibles, but the gem skill info page still shows Impact Shockwave 1.5m. Does the AoE increase not affect it?

[silent plinth]

Heya, which venom draughts would you guys recommend for a monk ? 25% ailment still ?

[warped viper]

does anyone know if 'on full life' works with CI?

they keep changing these sorts of things and i have no idea how it currently interacts

[graceful haven]

How do bow builds have the spirit for tame beast and herald of thunder?

[crystal drift]

does sorc ward go up with lvl? im trying to figure out what changes it

[hidden sentinel]

Is stormweaver or blood mage a stronger ascendancy rn

[mystic venture]

did the new patch helped a lot ? I only had fun playing POE2 for the first time and since then it was quite "bad" for me. Also which starter are strong and fast ?

[minor tree]

i'm inclined to recommend witch(ed/c), mercenary (grenades), and monk (hollow palm means no need to worry about your staff). lighting arrow deadeye is always top 1

[sharp thorn]

Ci is always on full life. Or dead.

[warped viper]

ok thanks

i know in 0.1 it also counted low life

[sharp thorn]

It is a bug. And that was fixed.

[warped viper]

glad it makes sense now

so that stat on the tree will 100% work

on CI now

[minor tree]

while i'm here, i'm currently feeling a bit iffy about warbringer during the interludes

i went for shield skills, fissures didn't feel amazing for me, so i'm feeling a bit meh with my build

[mystic venture]

what does the c stand for in witch?

And what about the minion build?

[minor tree]

essence drain and contagion

minions are cooking too

atm i'm pondering starting a 2nd character and i'm torn between witch (demon form cool, blood mage cool), stormweaver (for all the infusion stuff), tactician (grenade buffs) and i'm curious about hollow palm (i really love builds that let me insta-delete after a lot of build up, so i'm tempted to try to go for falling thunder + lots of combo)

although i'm already not so sure i want to redo the whole campaign and i'm for sure not doing it more than 1 more time so i'm hesitating to pick

[mystic venture]

is it a "fast" build ?

[minor tree]

not very much but it's laid back

if you want fast, LA deadeye is top 1

[mystic venture]

LA was good in poe1 for so long, I dont know if I will have fun with it 😄

[minor tree]

then the other options i listed will be smooth sailing 😉

warrior is fine too, i just am not fond of what's currently strong for it

[halcyon solar]

Does anyone know if Kaom's Madness is worth anything, since it's traded via currency exchange and there's literally no recorded value there at all.

same with Uruk's Smelting

[glossy mural]

Hey all, do you think Rakiata's Flow should take priority over a really nice Gemini Bow for a LA Deadeye? I have Rakiata's and a decent bow. I could probably upgrade my bow and quiver for the price of Rakiata's tho.

[carmine flicker]

Well, I can recommend my witch build if you value being lol-afk-tanky

Otherwise spectres or lightning arrow

[dreamy frigate]

kaoms madness going for 2exalt
uruks smelting going for 1exalt
(in currency exchange)

[halcyon solar]

so it's also worthless. I simply didn't have any exchange values showing.

What's your opinion on best life/mana flask affixes? One of the few things, where opinions are actually fluctuating very much.

[dreamy frigate]

i think it depends on builds, my mana one needs more charges because im consuming charges to get buff but to someone else they may want instant recovery or something.

[halcyon solar]

Instant on mana is one of the few things, which is basically always bad imo.

debatable on life, but even there you can get a belt for 20% instant and you'd usually rather want a higher value.

And having higher value also beats faster recovery, since a pretty high roll there kind of translates in faster recovery with a bigger amount.

[weak cloud]

Does anyone have an end game grenadier build? Or is there a good site to go to to browse builds? The only one I know of is maxroll and that only has a single merc build and its for leveling.

[halcyon solar]

maxroll and mobalytics. But i think maxroll doesn't even have one atm. Moba does.

[boreal scarab]

can someone help me figure out how to price something that is the only one on market

[halcyon solar]

post a screenshot

with tiers visible

[halcyon solar]

hm you picked a weapon type i'm really no expert in. The implicit is probably not ideal i suppose? And i have no idea about the 6m thing from the desecrated affix. But otherwise seems pretty decent

If it had one Item lvl higher you'd be in the top roll category

[boreal scarab]

i thought its what Lightning spear wanted

[halcyon solar]

i mean if you want to know about stat priorities, you can always look up maxroll guides, which list them for every build.

but since prefixes are the most valuable for a weapon you usually want 2x flat damage and 1 +% increased phys/elemental. 90% of the time physical

So the desecrated Affix kind of ruined it a bit 🙂

[boreal scarab]

fair! but still curious if its decent enough for sale

[halcyon solar]

to be honest. I don't think anyone would buy a weapon without the said combination of affixes.

[queen solstice]

For a class like merc who naturally starts with hybrid defense nodes, is it better to actually stick with Armor/Evasion over just 100% armor or 100% evasion? splitting between the two doesnt make sense to me but I maybe I'm missing something?

[halcyon solar]

Armor/Evasion has sadly no proper build at all at the moment 🙁

[queen solstice]

Aww okay thanks! I've been picking up hybrid gear this whole time 🙁

Is Evasion still the better def stat over Armor?

[halcyon solar]

if it's armor evasion it's basically always trash. The absolute best rolls for that gear on the market still go for 1 ex and nobody buys it 🙂

[rose pike]

I wonder, I have a magic twin bow (am still low lvl, so the 54 is fine for now) and it has only these two stats besides additional arrow:

139% increased Physical Damage
+3 to Level of all Projectile Skills

THis seems good to me, to use as base, how should I craft upon this?

[halcyon solar]

you are deadeye?

[rose pike]

yes

[halcyon solar]

that's your early game prio

If you want to know about stat priorities maxroll guies are always your best place to look.

Ofc there's also mobalytics but they are rarely as detailed.

[rose pike]

I don't really need to know about priorities, I know what I want in that sense, but I don't know what is clever in terms of how to craft it. Like I am not familiar with crafting in this game

I don't want to accidentally brick it

[halcyon solar]

I mean if you have a greater essence, that gives you a decent stat, use it.

otherwise just slam a regal and hope for the best. Don't even think about exalts

[rose pike]

What's wrong with ex?

[halcyon solar]

However in that case (I didn't even check stats exactly because at that level it usually doesn't matter that much)

these affixes are pretty insane tbh.

[inland plinth]

I’m actually running a merc build using armor/evasion but I’m mostly specialized into evasion the armor I have is just nice for getting swarmed by trash

[rose pike]

I don't love regal & pray in that sense, if that's my only bet... maybe I am better of selling it lol

[halcyon solar]

I mean since this is actually a case where it's worth it. I can buy you this one, if you want

[rose pike]

lol I was just going to ask if something like that existed

[halcyon solar]

can you trade already?

i mean access the market?

[rose pike]

Yes I should be able to find it.

[halcyon solar]

that one is 3 exalted orbs.

[rose pike]

Does it work? It says two handed melee or crossbow, mine is a regular bow

[rain dust]

What form of life recovery is best for spear huntress?

[halcyon solar]

in the line above it says 1 handed or bow

[rose pike]

Ah gotcha, I will try to find one for one ex I guess haha

[rain dust]

Just starting acts with this character and need some sort of life recovery

[halcyon solar]

it's currency exchange you can't find different offers.

but ideally you'd want +physical damage with that crazy +% mod on your weapon.

[rose pike]

What do you mean sorry?

[halcyon solar]

you actually rather want this one

[rose pike]

I didn't know that was better

[halcyon solar]

you have a ton of +% physical. So i f you add +X, you'll get way higher dps.

If you would add Lightning damage, all your +% wouldn't apply to that.

Afterwards you can add Lightning damage with runes.

and that bow you'll probably be able to sell for quite a decent amount after using it. since everyone leveling a LA Deadeye would love to have such a bow.

[rain dust]

Should I do life leech?

[rose pike]

Yeah I saw this exact base I have being listed for 95 ex. I will list it for now just until I can get such a abrasion essence

[rain dust]

What sources of leech are there?

[rose pike]

I haven't been able to buy one

[halcyon solar]

do you want one?

I'd give it to you. Usually i wouldn't bother, but that bow would be the nuts then.

[rose pike]

It would be nice, but are they hard to find?

[halcyon solar]

finding a particular one is really hard, while they aren't even expensive. But there are so many.

[rose pike]

That makes sense yes

[halcyon solar]

what's your character's name?

[rain dust]

Uh

life recovery? What's a good way to recover life for huntress. Trying to go for a bleed build

[rose pike]

Jadelesca is my character

[muted birch]

What is currently considered the best non-witch minion build?

[carmine flicker]

as always gemling

+2 lvl is huge

[muted birch]

tyvm for information : )

[muted birch]

This is true, but you do seem to start quite far away from the minion nodes XD

[sour onyx]

Any thoughts on this build?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxVTJiJJOyY

[carmine flicker]

well, what can I say, you just go there hard way )

[rain dust]

life recovery? What's a good way to recover life for huntress. Trying to go for a bleed build

[carmine flicker]

waste a bit of points for those juicy +2

+1 cold from tree, +2 from gemling, +10 from items.. each +1 adds more and more, having lvl 33(or 34/35 with supports) is big

you can take less minion survivability nodes, skill level make them tankier by itself

[novel oar]

So I'm new playing ranger saw a cool build using frost and shock, follow most of the build. But I'm not procing any frost some how... The build is 7 months old and I don't know what I'm doing wrong

[carmine flicker]

well, to freeze you must deal anough cold damage

you probably kill them before they freeze

if you go both cold and lightning

[novel oar]

So cold dmg relates to procing the cold on them ?

[carmine flicker]

well, freeze is cold ailment

you must proc it with cold damage, unless smth let you to do it with another damage type

[atomic halo]

tooltips exist

Freeze is an Ailment that causes targets to be unable to move or act, and lasts 4 seconds by default.

Cold damage from Hits Contributes to Freeze Buildup on enemies until they become Frozen.

[rain dust]

life recovery? What's a good way to recover life for huntress. Trying to go for a bleed build

[carmine flicker]

life flask and not being hit, tbh

[novel oar]

Alr ty

[novel oar]

Ty

[carmine flicker]

it it's cast on freeze guide then.. then just no

don't bother with cast on

as new player

[atomic halo]

cast on freeze doesnt even exist anymore

[sturdy sable]

What next chat

Trying to figure out how to get this accuracy rating, life per kill off, and this 89% rerolled

[hoary bolt]

unrelated, but those are some beefy dps' on those tooltips

[rain dust]

So should I invest in flask nodes?

Life flasks

[rain dust]

I missed that. How did people take that bit of news?

[atomic halo]

not particularly well

[rain dust]

😂

Good

[hoary bolt]

isnt cast on elemental ailment the exact same but more spirit

[pearl sluice]

is hollow palm good with chayula?

[carmine flicker]

cast on ailment is there tho

[hoary bolt]

100 spirit instead of 60, but yeah it basically still exists

[sturdy sable]

Is it ? Not sure what peoples Amour Piercing Rounds look like for the most part

[carmine flicker]

it's also one gem, can't have cast on shock and freeze as separate setups

[hoary bolt]

true

[sturdy sable]

The tooltip is lying like shit though, when im hitting a boss it looks like i have 200k dps way back when my tooltip said 50-60k

I think it’s fresh clip

I havent tested my damage yet

[carmine flicker]

also triggered spells don't give energy anymore so can't loop them

[sturdy sable]

With this 120k tooltip

[hoary bolt]

hideout tooltip dps doesnt take into account conditional buffs and debuffs on the enemy

[rapid star]

that's essentially one less support for both, since it casts both spells no?

[carmine flicker]

kind of

[hoary bolt]

fresh clip does show up in the tooltip thoug if you have it open

it dynamically updates

[sturdy sable]

It doesn’t for me

[hoary bolt]

its only on reload

[rapid star]

I'm trying to make lightning conduit work without a Meta gem, but that cast time/animation

[sturdy sable]

Im testing rn

[carmine flicker]

man, you are happy to have tooltip at all

[sturdy sable]

You try too

[carmine flicker]

I literally don't have one

[sturdy sable]

LOL

I think fresh clip used to uodate

And doesnt anymore

[carmine flicker]

for some reason that doedre curse support have no tooltip for it's explosion

[hoary bolt]

it used to, its not doing it for me now

odd

[carmine flicker]

and multiple buttons to misspress and 8 sec cd is punishing

[viral sage]

i saw yt vid about huntress using qstaff and spear to create ice twister as early as beginning of act 1 to clear mob..any similar weapon swap build for warrior?

[carmine flicker]

just shield wall/fortifying cry all day and don't ever die

unless oneshotted

[woeful sundial]

how do you reset the set rares mods again if i'm trying to catch one with haste aura

[rapid star]

I mean spellslinger don't lite me fire the spell ass soon as I gets a charge, si i ahve to wait to 100% every time

so kinda the same with the cd xD

[viral sage]

thats require a bit of progress tho with fortifying cry..i mean aoe build that can be make ASAP with warrior 😅

[rain dust]

¹

[rain dust]

Saw a guy 1 shotting screens with leap slam

Fist of war plus aftershocks and stack AOE

[novel oar]

How much cold dmg does one need to proc 100% freeze ?

[rapid star]

Depends on enemy ailment threshold... the higher it is the more dmg it needs

freezing buildup reduces the amount needed

[novel oar]

I'm only in act 4 so I would assume they don't have a Loth of threshold

[rapid star]

most mobs don't, so if you invested on some freezing build up nodes on the tree you should be doing just fine

mostly this one

[novel oar]

Alr ty very much

[golden prawn]

does anyone know whether walker of the wilds interacts with the mana leech support gem?

[old oriole]

hooooow does he have 200 spirit?https://poe.ninja/poe2/builds/abyss/character/Cakey-3368/CakeySR?i=3&search=class%3DRitualist%26skills%3DPrimal%2BStrikes

[rapid star]

if you pob it shows only the heralds active

[old oriole]

how do i know if soemthing is active or not

talking about trinity here

[rapid star]

mine shows under the heralds that they are not active lol

or i just assumed wrong and that's about one skill that is not active

since trinity's "enable" check box is marked

[old oriole]

so he doesn't have it on, weird

[rapid star]

yeah, poe ninja just sees it equiped and probably goes "oh he uses it" even if it's inactive

pob even tells you he has -85 spirit with it on

[old oriole]

so what spirit skills is he using

[rapid star]

Herald of Thunder and Herald of Ash

[old oriole]

why ash, i don't understandd

[rugged kraken]

Can we apply multiple marks in mark of chauyala

[rapid star]

I believe you can not, since the limit is always one active

[rapid star]

he essentially has 2 left rings the do add fire damage, then those rings are duplcated br the kalandra ring, then the belt make then 30 to 40% better
so he has enough damage to ignite

[quiet forge]

for trinity you need to set the number of resonance stacks in calculation

[rapid star]

he uses the heralds for clear

[quiet forge]

250 = 30% more damage

[rapid star]

and switch to trinity for bosses

[old oriole]

what kalandra my guy?

[rapid star]

kalandra's Touch, ring

[old oriole]

he doesn't use it though

[rugged kraken]

thanks so the ideal hand of chayala is basically a mark and curse in one palm attack so I need a ton of intelligence if I wanna use a mark and a curse

[trim jay]

why is this happening, is it bugged atm?

[cedar glacier]

has anyone tried making a build with living lightning or skittering stone?

[minor tree]

Could scold's bridle + iron ward be legit? 🤔

It adds 25% skill mana cost as physical damage hit, which armour would tank easily, scaling iron ward right up

Made to last could even turn it into healing

[balmy fable]

Anybody know if call shots can reapply the mark to the same target? it's unmarked technically after the mark is consumed, so

[novel oar]

I can't put ice bite on herlad of thunder ?

[supple jay]

does stun threshold affect sprint

[stark kettle]

If you are immune to chaos damage, can you still get poisoned but just take no damage? Or does it stop the poison from applying in the first place?

[balmy fable]

it shouldnt, no

[uncut sonnet]

poison deals chaos damage over time, so you'd take no damage i'd assume

Think it would still apply

That's what google told me about 100% reduced duration of ignite/poison/bleed

You'd still get the trigger

But havn't tested it

[slim pilot]

does the 2x ancestral boost (from fist of war3 support) but with 14 sec CD give the 2x ancestral boost bonuses for ancestral boosts procced via titans acscendency as well? sorry if this is confusing question :!

[carmine flicker]

I AM IMMORTALL(unless smth disable recovery like those abyss mobs, that is)
I wand to laugh maniacally, but people are asleep nearby

(I have recharge delay problem solved, so it's 100% uptime)

[signal crow]

Support Gem: Decaying Hex(8seconds). Can I extend this duration?

[supple goblet]

anyone know if i can use combo breker on vaulting impact?

[alpine basin]

Dope! How do you get 0 recharge delay?

[neon escarp]

Whats the difference between Huntress and Ranger for Lightning Arrow?

Will Ranger have more movement speed or mobility?

[rugged kraken]

is Hollowpalm considered dual weilding?

[alpine basin]

Dude…. Is that like 1600 dps?!

[worldly charm]

totem > than lightning damage though for mortar build

[alpine basin]

I mean, yeah. But still

[worldly charm]

comes off as douchey - I agree. I am just pissed because it was a big craft just now and i didn't get the one thing I wanted

[alpine basin]

Makes sense. At the very least you got something to absolutely wreck with till you can craft a new one.

[dark pulsar]

How do I know which mods can roll from which abyss omen

[fast wind]

is there a good way to scale explosive spears damage?

[sly talon]

Anyone got a link for lightning spear .3 build?

[carmine flicker]

answered you in PM btw

[frosty harness]

I'm kind of doing my own thing with ice skills and the hollow palm for a fun "sub zero" build and I've got good damage for my ice strike but I'm having kind of an issue figuring out the best skills to use for wave of frost & glacial cascade, would anyone mind giving me some skill gem combos for those two? or point me in the right direction to get some ideas

[wild grove]

wanted to know is there no way to play hexblast with withering presence anymore ?

[cobalt vessel]

Are there any aura/buff/utility spectres that non-summoner builds can use in poe2?
Except for the mosquito that was fixed with patched I can't seem to find any

I got 100 spirit left over but no where to use them

[quiet forge]

https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/Astrodeath3-0182/character/Scintinilla it's easier to just link my pob, check here, for freeze use freeze (gem) + chilled ground on freeze, else speed + increase aoe ig

[frosty harness]

ty

[night saddle]

For an ED/contaigion build would having an extra totem buff for dark effigy be worth it for the extra dps against tanky bosses (i lose like 100 enery shield snd some resists, gain 200 armor but also get a debuff curse when the totem expires)

[carmine flicker]

what's your build?

[cobalt vessel]

Spark/Choir of Storms so no need for exposure

[alpine basin]

So armour explosion is affected by supports slotted in along side it, correct?

For example, i’m using resonant shield, armour break, uruk’s smelting, armour explosion and close combat.

Close combat, being a generic attack damage boost should boost the explosion correct?

[carmine flicker]

I mean, new lich can dump ANY amount of spirit into useful buffs

[cobalt vessel]

Playing bloodmage, can it do that too?

[carmine flicker]

sorry, no, it's a lich thing

[cobalt vessel]

Yeah...I got 10k regen for defense layer, crit ignoring lightning rez, so I don't know what to do with spirit

No need for ES or exposure

[carmine flicker]

how did you get 10k regen btw?

[cobalt vessel]

Sacrifice of Blood with Rathpith is crazy this season

Recommend it

[carmine flicker]

you can get any lvl 7 spectre and
it will instantly die anyway being lvl 7 spectre

[cobalt vessel]

Huh interesting, never thought of using it that way

[carmine flicker]

hmm, yeah
I'm at 7k constant ES recharge, so I'm ok too 🙂

[cobalt vessel]

Yeah ES is great this season too it seems, probably better than SoB setup in a lot of situations as well

10k regen is nice but having to hold down cast every second or so gets annoying lol

[carmine flicker]

12k pool, man
it's huge

[mint marsh]

At the end of the day whats better explosive or cluster grenades? And why?

[glacial escarp]

does inspiring ally plus meat shield work to give me the dmg reduction

[cobalt vessel]

Btw do you have any notables/passives/gears towards something not ES? Been looking for those also, since there's no Life increasing passives except for a single node in PoE2, wanted to invest in tank but couldn't find something too useful

Armor is possible but from what I know getting a bit of armor is not gonna help much for being one shot

[hard crane]

can I get someone in poe2 party 2 voice chat real quick. I've got a quick question for a mercenary veteran concerning shock

[carmine flicker]

nah, you either tank with ES or with mitigation(block, armour etc)

[cobalt vessel]

Yeah thought so

Guess increasing life is the only thing to make this tankier

Life is so expensive though

[untold rock]

i'm trying to figure out an immobilize to use on my poison pathfinder. i'm thinking freeze so i can (potentially) use snipe to apply a strong poison, but idk if snipe would be best to apply a single strong poison

[carmine flicker]

btw
bunch of cheap low level minions = some volatility every so often

if you can surive it that's free damage

[tulip fog]

if i have no energy shield do i count as always "not on low energy shield" ?

[carmine flicker]

yeah

[tulip fog]

nice, thats 20% more armor then

for free

[carmine flicker]

for passive points

[echo vale]

Hm

[tulip fog]

if i annoint it its "basically free"

[echo vale]

Increasing Poison Magnitude doesnt increase Poisonburst Arrows poison DPS in the tool tip. Anyone know why?

[carmine flicker]

annoint slot is really big one tho

[halcyon solar]

do you actually get better rolls if you have quality before slamming currency on your gear?

[tulip fog]

well, idk what else to pick, its basically one of these three

[glacial escarp]

does if inspiring ally plus meat shield works to give me the dmg reduction

[tulip fog]

or this for offensive annoint

maybe ill go with the offensive one, i am already pretty tanky... for a life-stacking build

[alpine basin]

So armour explosion is affected by supports slotted in along side it, correct?

For example, i’m using resonant shield, armour break, uruk’s smelting, armour explosion and close combat.

Close combat, being a generic attack damage boost should boost the explosion correct?

[true fable]

Hey guys, I am not crazy good at Poe since I am a guide follower. But I started making my own build in Poe 2 and I am struggling to find combat frenzy spirit gem as a monk ? Even when I get a spirit gem I can't search for it. Don't even have the option to go under the range tab as suggested online

What am I doing wrong ?

[alpine basin]

is this supposed to be an answer?

i've read the gem extensively. I'm asking if supports slotted along side it affecct it as well.

i know that the base damage is based off of 30% of the default attack. thank you though.

[pulsar scarab]

When you pay for a skill with a life cost is it considered a hit?

[distant tendon]

can you dual weild mjorner

[alpine basin]

no

[carmine sandal]

does voltaic mark count as a hit?

[dire cave]

no

[dire cave]

I would assume not

[dire cave]

select the ranger or huntress when selecting a buff

[quiet forge]

ahhh, haiyah
anyone got some advices for extending this survivability
i'm getting double tapped by whites and blues, life is so fucking hard to acquire lol, i really don't know how to get more

just kinda seems like a black hole of currency

[dire cave]

that 50% evasion or 60%?

you'll want to get to 80% evasion, get about 90% deflect and more life

also get some more chaos resists

[small pilot]

Some support gems have a version 1 and 2, IIRC there's a gem that increases cooldown rate by 25% and another that increases cooldown rate by 30%. Can both of these gems support the same ability?

I'm considering what I can do with Gloamgown, which increases energy shield recharge rate by a huge amount but gives you a really long time before the recharge begins, on a Chronomancer using Convalescence, wondering how low I can get that Convalescence cooldown and currently I'm looking at a 73% increased cooldown rate, which reduces the cooldown from 30 seconds to about 17 seconds, wanting to know if I can do better than that.

[alpine basin]

you cannot use both in the same skill

[small pilot]

thanks for the info.

[alpine basin]

sure thing

[quiet forge]

50, the node says it's capped at 50%

[dire cave]

which node?

[quiet forge]

The idea was to get evasion to armor and then do evasion to deflection, but it's just not enough DR

[dire cave]

you running tactician?

[quiet forge]

ye

[dire cave]

imo that ascend is not worth it

[quiet forge]

no good payoff for gemling in my kit so it would be witchhunter for sorc ward which makes the problem worse

[dire cave]

if you are converting to armour run with iron reflexes and then get armour applies to elemental damage and specific element dmg

for tactician I recommend the 20% of armour as deflect and getting the 5 glory generation per second for banners

last one is of your choosing

but the capping at 50% is useless

[quiet forge]

defend with 200% is in theory really good but I can't seem to get the missing 30% armour DR

[dire cave]

you are not running iron reflexes

which converts evasion to armour but evasion increases will still apply

[quiet forge]

if I grab iron reflexes, i lose the entire 50% evasion flip and 64% to deflect 46% thing

[dire cave]

you are partially wrong there

you still have evasion

it gets converted to armour

but bonuses and increases to evasion should still apply

so deflect off evasion I think should still apply

[quiet forge]

but if i have 0 evasion, then i wouldn't convert any to deflect

[small pilot]

Is there anywhere people keep a list of expensive uniques? I want a listing of uniques that are just really expensive on the market.

[dire cave]

armour is now also better than evasion if you get the armour applies to elemental dmg

[dire cave]

the evasion is still there

say you have 1K evasion and 1K armour

you pick iron reflexes so now you have 2K armour

but that initial 1K evasion is still there

[quiet forge]

sec

[dire cave]

doesnt get calculated for hits

we can call if thats easier

[quiet forge]

surely there's a better way

[dire cave]

lemme break it down for you

you dont want iron reflexes if you dont have the armour applies nodes close to merc

since that would break a lot of tank

deflect from evasion would not work (just tested this)

and deflect procs quite often at 50 or 60%

at least in my experience

[quiet forge]

That's about what I have stacked ye

https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/Astrodeath3-0182/character/Scintinilla

Here's my pob if it would help

i went the other way

[dire cave]

I am questioning it a little

[quiet cypress]

hey guys, which lightning deadeye build is the best one? there is fubgun eravin and crouching tuna

[dire cave]

you are trying to do too many things

@quiet forge would you be ok with a voice call or prefer not?

[quiet forge]

voice is a bit difficult

if you want to do dms to keep it sectioned that's fine

[dire cave]

I'll just msg in dm's then since I dont want to flood this channel

[quiet forge]

sure np

[feral osprey]

I am looking for someone who have the spare time to create a build planner using Mobalytics for me?

• I want a huntress that uses main attack with "Spear of Solaris".
  I am not smart enough to do it.
  Is this possible?

[abstract grove]

pretty damn fun

[feral osprey]

Whgat is that character?

i want it

[abstract grove]

fist of war 3 on everything lol. only hotg is on ws2

[feral osprey]

Can you tell me what i should search on?

[abstract grove]

i kinda home brewed it. ill upload to poe ninja if you want for the supports

[feral osprey]

What is the class i should take ?

and the name of the spells main

[abstract grove]

https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/Chiefballsy-4480/character/Dominant_Iron

[feral osprey]

Thanks

[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?
i asked this before but still couldnt find what it was

[uncut bay]

I did 2 primal strikes, 2 spear stabs, never heard of what you said

but you need spear stabs for debuffs anyway

[naive mason]

i remember using the skill that spawned spears from ground for rage but other than that iwas just using lightning spear and ps

[naive mason]

but i might be delusional for this one tbh

[dire cave]

spearfield?

[naive mason]

yeah that one, i used it for rage and bleed afaik

[dire cave]

idk about bleed since its dmg scaling is pretty poor

[naive mason]

this time when i stop playing i'll note everything down bruh

because i remember there was something related to bleed as well not dmg wise but smth else

but i dont remember wtf was that

[south wigeon]

not sure if this si the best place to ask, but is this build good to follow as a beginner? https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/blackflame-fireball-bloodmage-league-starter-mordarim?ws-ngf5-f7d82102-7e77-4a44-ad24-33b67e8ae7bf=activeVariantId%2Cbc7abe67-07f3-4680-bac8-137f97faf04b

[near walrus]

to me it looks like a lot of gear swapping in the late game, it also looks like its using a lot of spells for a beginners build, i don't play a ton of bloodmage or a ton of PoE like others might. But i look at this and see how much upkeep i would have to do in order to get results like you saw in the video, it also depends on how willing you are to try to stick as close to the steps as you can for the build. I definitley think you could do it, but it would more be down to how close to the guide you're willing to follow. There is also the fun of home brewing as always, but you could always start with the guide then take your own path if you like. either way its up to you, but it could get daunting quickly

[south wigeon]

oh yeah if its a lot of spells im not gonna like it haha

any simple blood mage builds you suggest? im not too picky as long as it'll get me through the game

[dire cave]

poe 2 allows you to do whatever you want during campaign

I'd say the only time to worry about your build is at act 4 or beyond

and if you want some spell suggestions I recommend the bone spells or chaos spells

[jaunty rover]

Does rakiata have low effect on t15 rare

[gray hound]

is titan or gemling better for strength stacking in 0.3?

[dire cave]

I'd say titan

[jaunty rover]

Gemling is very end game

[dire cave]

not even that titan has easier access to the core nodes for armour stacking

[uncut bay]

essence drain contagion is great for compaign if you want spells

[dire cave]

is it worth to equip an original sin on a archmage build?

[uneven flower]

why does this say nettle ant even tho i tamed a frozen Mandible?
even when i had level 18 it asked me if i wanna upgrade it to level 19 but still says nettle ant and spawns a nettle ant

[amber osprey]

Man, monk really doesn't have really any generic melee/attack scaling near it huh? So annoying

[dire cave]

if summoned is it a nettle ant or mandible?

[uneven flower]

an ant

[dire cave]

either a bug or its just an ant

[uneven flower]

when i was upgrading it to level 19 it clearly said the correct name with correct icon

then it turned again into ant XD amazing

[dire cave]

could be a bug then

if it was a mandible when tamed and upgrading changed it to ant

does elemental storm on crit trigger an elemental storm based on the spell damage type or the damage it dealt?

[stark kettle]

Does this mean that I can't use Comet in both Cast on Elemental Ailments and Cast on Crit if I wanted to? Or does it just mean that I can socket 2+ of the same skill in CoEA itself?

[dire cave]

I'd assume you cannot but it on 2 sepperate cast on X skills

[stark kettle]

Damn. Big RIP. I wanted Comets on Comets

[autumn egret]

anybody know why i cant socket ailiths chime into my falling thunder? like this other build?

how did it get added?

[tropic temple]

does anyone have a link to the current pob for poe 2? I want to make sure I don't get the wrong one or some bogus version

[north heart]

Anyone done lich cross bow build?

[alpine basin]

Hey guys. Anyone know if armour explosion receives any damage boosts from supports that it shares with the skill that triggers it?

[dire cave]

it should since mana flare gains supports from linked skill aswell

[alpine basin]

Great news! Thank you 😊

[alpine basin]

My guess is you have to slot in culmination first so it can combo

Says it only supports skills that can expend combo

[autumn egret]

YES THAT WORKED!! THANK YOU

[lone wave]

does anyone actually use the Apocalypse node?

[rustic glade]

does anyone know how I assign skills to different weapon sets with controller?

[unreal canopy]

Is 1.6khp and 1.5kES with 67-70% Eva all maxed out Resistances okay'ish for LA Deadeye?

Oh and does someone maybe have an idea what to get in the passive tree or new spirit gem if I dont want to use Rhoa? Sometimes I cant kill packs fast enough and get staggered and die cause of it. I hated it last league as well xd

[carmine flicker]

Do you use ghost dance?

[near walrus]

sorry if someone else answered before me im not reading all of the chats since this message, this was a balancing patch that created a bug. The original intention was to remove the intrinsic buffs/curses of those spectres/tamed and simply make it a base Frozen Mandible, instead it was accidentally reverted to the needle ant. I believe this has a fix coming.

[marble tulip]

Do minions do chaos dmg by default? Wherre can I see info

[dire cave]

depends on the minion

as for where to see it its the arrow on the side of the dps number and it only shows dmg once said minion is summoned

[carmine flicker]

only some spectres do chaod by default

and not a lot of them

[marble tulip]

So despair with nettle ant would be cool?

[carmine flicker]

idk if nettle do chaos

afaik no

nah, they are phys

[marble tulip]

So the passive skill 10% phys to chaos and then despair is effective enough?

[carmine flicker]

why you insist on despair so much?

[marble tulip]

It is in builds for minions quite often and didn’t understand why

[carmine flicker]

lich builds?

cause lich have unholy might

[marble tulip]

Oh

Ty

[fiery aspen]

So im really liking grenade merc right now, thinking of going tactician with the pinning fire stuff.
Ive seen it built 2 ways. Explosive grenade mortar as main dps, or Cluster grenade morters.

Unsure which i should do, does anyone know which scales better for lategame? im not super build knowledgeable and sometimes need to read guides or ask for help if that matters like one having much harsher gearing reqs etc

[plucky meadow]

what are actual layers of defense? I am not having problems currently but I have a feeling I will when I hit t15-16's https://pobb.in/fSEXnQkuzn94

[hot elm]

how good exactly is a hollow mask Im not sure a good helmet will give me more phys reduction than thsi

[hallow lichen]

is there a way to cause lightning damage to myself?

[dire cave]

cluster is more for clear and explosive is more for bossing

you can always have 2 mortar cannon setups

[mental briar]

If all youre taking is phys damage then yh its good

[dire cave]

it realy depends on the kind of build you are running and how much armour you have

the 15% additional phys dmg reduction is nice but you are sacrificing a helmet slot in which you can have a much better alternative

early game tho its realy good

[hot elm]

Im a titan playing windblast and vaulting impact Im stacking armour and am using the always surrounded helmet but i feel too squishy so Im not sure if id like to keep it

[near jewel]

guyys, in ssf, do u think shield charge / shield wall / resonating shield can work? i like the skills but the dmg i slow

[unreal canopy]

yes

@carmine flicker I currently use Ghost Dancer, Wind Dancer, Rhoa and Herald of Thunder

[supple osprey]

someone could help me w deadeye la build https://maxroll.gg/poe2/pob/r33ml0qh

[wheat aurora]

sip

Does anyone know if you just dive straight into hollowpalm once you can or switch between staff and palm? In mid Act 2 and dont understand the damage behind palm

[unreal canopy]

Chaos Res where

[supple osprey]

we dont have that

[unreal canopy]

We don't sell those here

[supple osprey]

yes but can u check gear besides chaos res

especially quiver amulet n rings

[unreal canopy]

Well, are you struggling with surviveability or damage? Cause if its with survivability, I struggle with the same, also LA Deadeye abuser

[supple osprey]

i dont struggle w anything but im not doing juiced maps tho

so i dont know

[unreal canopy]

as far as I can tell y our gear is pretty good, but the gloves are giving me seizures. 2 flat dmg stats one good res and the rest is dog

your boots also have 2 bad mods on it xD

[supple osprey]

i need these attributes tho

[cobalt vessel]

Is there any way to best avoid one shots other than stacking life as a life build?
Playing Sacrifice of Blood Bloodmage build, regen is awesome but getting oneshot from time to time is definitely a problem

Even if I give up some passive points for defense, I don't find anything that will help with the problem to pick

[north heart]

is ice shot on deadeye just as op?

[old oriole]

and does the base matter for finally highest evasion or deflect?

[proud chasm]

https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/XianHuLong-1157/character/SexyZapZarapi is this ok?

[slender rivet]

About the "Soulless Form" lich node.
No inherent mana regen, but regenerates mana equal to 6% of maximu life.

Does increased mana regen not apply then?
right now i'm regenerating around 130 mana per second and that is still not enough for my needs so i'm also using mana on kill.
if i were to pick up this node then i would need more than 2k life to sustain the mana.
I don't entirely understand how people can use this.

[cobalt vessel]

1. increased mana regen apply fine
   emphasis on "inherent"

2. 2k life is nothing after acts even as a ES build

[slender rivet]

i'm level 84 with 1.2k life

[slender rivet]

so just to be sure i understood this.
if i have 100% increased mana regen with 1k life then i would regenerate 120 mana/s ?

[cobalt vessel]

Maybe I am overestimating because I use a hybrid build : P
but anyway if what I know is correct yes that's how it would work

[slender rivet]

alright, thank you. it makes a lot more sense then

[void lily]

Why does ravenous swarm recommend armour demolisher? It doesn't look like it does anything since the base skill doesn't have any armour break to get increased.

[dire cave]

its used with corrosion

since the swarms poison on hit

[north heart]

I'm ngl I kinda wanna do a last lament build with lich lmao

[dire cave]

do it on abyssal lich

[north heart]

Yeah im wondering why does it have to be on lich

[dire cave]

is it still in the game tho

pob says its exclusive to doth

[short pagoda]

Hey, anyone here used trail of ice/lightning tame beasts before for whirling slash? The modifiers no longer work for me, so I wonder if it's an error on my part, a bug, or was there a nerf

[dire cave]

life doesnt change when you have es I'd assume

but someone tested that last league with some gloves and the sacrifice bit didnt work

[north heart]

hmm if I do lich, should I Just do the generic cross bow build or contagion? I do love crossbows

[north heart]

awe

[dire cave]

xbows do be fun

abyssal lich gets some nasty buffs tho

[north heart]

never thought I'd be going witch for cross bows for last lament looks op

[dire cave]

Skeletal Warriors grant 15% increased Attack Damage
Skeletal Snipers grant 15% increased Projectile Speed
Skeletal Clerics grant 30% increased Energy Shield Recharge Rate
Skeletal Arsonists grant 15% increased Area of Effect
Skeletal Storm Mages grant 25% increased Spell Damage
Skeletal Frost Mages grant 35% increased maximum Energy Shield
Skeletal Brutes grant 60% increased Stun buildup
Skeletal Reavers grant 6% increased Skill Speed

thats one of the abyssal lich nodes

umbral well

idk if you can stack the same minion for the buffs to stack or if its a one time thing

[south fable]

Hello everyone. I'm an older slower player who was familiar with PoE 5-6 years ago. If it's allowed to ask here: would you be able to reccomend a few builds that would suit a player with slow reflexes? Thanks.

[north heart]

ohh wait cross bow build might be hard since I'm on lich so I start out at a different point fuck lmao

[dire cave]

if the minion buffs are stackable not so much

and the phylactory is pretty potent

[north heart]

well no I mean since I'm on lich, I have no projectile dmg nodes, just spell dmg which doesn't benefit cross bows

[dire cave]

pretty close to monk

takes about 20 points to get from witch to ranger

[north heart]

OOF

I need a lich cross bow guide from start to finish

[dire cave]

27 points from witch to merc

well I have zero knowledge about this so I cant help much 😛

[merry creek]

I just got to end game, with my LA Deadeye, and I've had REALLY good success with adding cold damage + herald of ice. I've converted my lightning arrow to cold, to proc the herald and shatter everything. I have a few questions I am confused on:

1. I don't see ANYONE on POE Ninja doing this. Does this not scale into T15?
2. Should I ditch Herald of Ice?
3. Should I not try and convert lightning arrow damage to cold to proc herald of ice?
4. how much cold damage is sufficient to even proc herald of ice? Would flat damage on rings be good enough?

Or is straight lightning damage good enough in end game I don't need to worry about shattering with Herald of Ice?

[tame abyss]

I am following the build from a character on poe.ninja

Can someone tell me why this arc stromweaver reach 134K : https://poe.ninja/poe2/builds/abyss/character/길스니-5044/길스니와소서리스?i=2

And mine only 23K : https://poe.ninja/poe2/builds/abyss/character/Wiz_Liz-7408/MethEdict?i=1

What am I missing ?
I am doing fine-ish in T16 6mod maps but still I'm puzzled as to why the difference is so big

there might be something I'm not understanding about the build

[gaunt mortar]

is crown of eyes gone

[pale jewel]

any fissure warbringer can tell me what rewards to pick in eye of hinekora?

[naive mason]

in poe ninja, what are the pink and green collored ones? are they weapon set points?

[pale jewel]

LA lightning damage is enough for endgame. Clearing is no problem and for bosses just use lightning rods + tornado

one shot everything

[merry creek]

thanks

[kindred barn]

Is good frost darts build possible?

[soft bobcat]

IDK if here is correct place to ask, any cool advice on support gems lvl 1and2 for frost darts

[proud chasm]

https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/XianHuLong-1157/character/SexyZapZarapi this ok?

can wind dancer still hit 4 stacks? i feel like it was quality that did it and that was changed

[gaunt mortar]

IS CROWN OF EYES REMOVED FROM THE GAME OR SOMETHING

[mystic venture]

Can I start with frostbolt or is that an endgame build?

[frozen knot]

no?

[shrewd raptor]

how does "recover 2% mana on kill" work? is it instant or over time and does it pool if youre already at max mana?

[nimble kite]

which is better?

[forest geyser]

its instant and does not pool

[ivory remnant]

Hello,
How does armour break scaling work? if i have 50% armour break on pinning enemy and i increase it by 100% with "break % increased armour" than i will break 100% of enemies armour when pin?

[shrewd raptor]

ty one more question does inc mana leech effect mana on kill too? (trying to use pob but not sure where to see those stats)

[gaunt mortar]

@frozen knot i can't find it in pob

[pale niche]

Yes, but some mobs have an innate resistance to Armor Break, so you'll break like all white, blue and like 90% of the rares

[ivory remnant]

ok, Thank you!

[forest geyser]

inc leech effect only works for leech

[fading sorrel]

do minions all have the same revive timer?

are there specres who revive fast?

but you can craft

If a path of weapon set points end up on the same node can you take that node for both weapon sets?

[void lily]

Are skeletal arsonist mainhand attacks aoes? I can't seem to find a radius listed in the stats, idk if my support gem works on it

[dreamy bridge]

unfortunate they removed the +CD tradeoff supports. could've abused them with forge hammer

[void lily]

I think they are the same and whenever one is killed the timers for them all refresh again

[fading sorrel]

@void lily i tried bringing the time down but i only got to 10 seconds wich is still a lot i wanted to try the warcry explode from warrior

but it would need to go down to at least 2 seconds i think for this to be ok

and there is no other corpse generation right?

[void lily]

I'm on witch and I got almost all the minion revive time nodes I could. I got mine to about <5s

I plan to make my corpse generation be my skeletons dying

[wise cape]

would applying a gemcutter prism improve a spectre minion?

[fading sorrel]

@void lily yeah i tried that but they dont count as corpse if they die

it needs the spirit gem sacrifice and tehn it goes to 10 sec form 5

sucks

i can only do ignite i guess

[wise cape]

oh thanks, I'm running the frozen mandible as well

[broken nexus]

I'm experimenting with some triggered skills and i am having trouble getting the skills to actually launch at enemies. at first i thought it was because i wasn't facing enemies but it seems to almost intentionally launch in the opposite direction of where the enemies are standing - is this a common problem or am i doing something wrong?

[void lily]

oh damn then I can't do what I was planning, which was to use the support gem that sets the minion and enemies on fire so they die on cooldown

[proud chasm]

https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/XianHuLong-1157/character/SexyZapZarapi this build ok?

This a good ring for deadeye build?

Is there a neversink filter to follow for updated economy to sell items I find ?!

[mental briar]

Anyone know if something requires you to spend 100% of your maximum mana but you have blood magic so have 0 mana at all times would it ever be proccd?

[quiet forge]

If you have no mana you can't spend it

[native surge]

Yes

If no one else answered

And they can shotgun

[mental briar]

Is there any way to convert fire damage to another element that isnt chaos? Ik you can convert to chaos with the ring original sin and the node on tree but is there any other way

Nvm found it, 2 unique gloves

[void lily]

Thanks. What does shotgun mean?

[near jewel]

is there any way to get shield attacks buid /charge, wall. resonating/ to work in ssf?

[quiet linden]

Im currently following a Bloodmage build and it's using Cast on Critical and Cast on Elemental. Im now at Maps, but only have 100 Spirit. I know we can get more Spirit via gear, but my build only suggests getting more spirit through the Amulet. Im sure I can't get another 100 Spirit for that. Do we get more Spirit in Endgame content?

Even more actually, I would need 230.

[unique crane]

Hi, Eldrich Empowerement on Lich Ascendancy says that it gives 30% more spell damage, but when you open up the gem panels, you can see your dps go down while casting. It's like the node is lowering your spell damage instead. If you un-allocate that skill, you get a higher spell damage while casting ( because it doesn't change and stays at the base level) . Anyone has reproduced that bug or any advice on it ?

[native surge]

essentially once they overlap they count as seperate hits and can sometimes hit large hitboxes multiple times i think

not 100% sure about the last part

[void lily]

Ah how does one bomb overlap itself?

[somber pendant]

If I grab the notable that minions benefit from my amulet instead of me… is it useless to anoint it?

[mental briar]

Is there any way to globally reduce attribute requirements of things like passives or uniques?

[summer pasture]

By running plus proj support

[weak shard]

guys if i pick up this node, does that over-write the negative of Elemental Focus?

I would ask in the sorc channel but its full and i cant join it :/

[atomic halo]

no

"no" overrides "yes"

[weak shard]

thx

[mental briar]

would this do more damage? or is going above 100% for conversion modifiers useless

POB doesnt seem to show any increase in damage

[twin quarry]

decent xbow?

[brittle anvil]

can't gain damage from overconversion

[atomic halo]

useless

it gets scaled down to 100%

[mental briar]

Ty was wondering if its worth spending more exalts on the corrupted version or not

Damn I wish converting fire to lightning damage actually made the skills blue

Like how the blackflame covenant makes it purple

[uncut bay]

cast on ailment in maps, cast on crit vs bosses, not both at the same time

for me cast on crit is enough in maps

so no cast on ailment

[summer pasture]

Useless, can only convert 100% of damage

[lean nacelle]

have anyone tried Shard Scavenger + Snap? It does not seem they interact although the descriptions suggest they should

[quiet linden]

Ty, that makes more sense. I was already sweating trying to figure out how to get 130 more Spirit while keeping track of everything else I need in the build lmao.

[cloud flower]

If you're playing an archer/lightning arrow into herald of thunder and wind dancer and have lots of unspent spirit (at least 90), what are some good stretch picks to use that up? I'm a bit more familiar with the caster options, haven't built one of these yet

[alpine pecan]

Is it accurate that you can't poison if you use brutality? I think PoB is lying to me, but I am not sure.

[static plinth]

Yeah

You can poison, but it deals 0 damage, and the game just deletes 0 damage poisons

[alpine pecan]

oh okay alright then

thanks

[static plinth]

Cuz poison is chaos damage and you deal no chaos damage

[midnight bolt]

does extra damage as xxx work for incinerate? i assume no since its igniting enemies

Should I get Inner Turmoil or Waking Dream first (gives into the breach skill) for acolyte of chayula ascendancy tree?

If i have a choice between +3 to level with 100% damage bonus on scepter, vs a +4 to level with 20% damage bonus i should still go with +4?

For minions build infernalist

well, you already have increased from tree

[heady mantle]

So which of those 2 would be wbtter

[carmine flicker]

in general - +4

what minions btw?

[grand plover]

is there any witch ignite build that's good ?

[twin yacht]

In regard to bleeding: Does resistance count as "a modifier that affects how much damage they take"? If so then lowering a resistance for a bigger hit does nothing, right?

Wondering if I want to throw Rakiata's Flow on my bleed build for bigger hits due to negative ele res (blood mage), but worried that it does nothing, since it's expensive.

[frozen knot]

what do they mean with "no inherent manaregeneration"?

[carmine flicker]

you have base regen of 4% mana per second

this line disable it

[frozen knot]

ok thanks

[dusk narwhal]

It will. Bleed is based off of the hit. Bigger hit, bigger bleeds

[twin yacht]

Thanks!

Now time to find one that actually sells...

[dusk narwhal]

although this is assuming that the hit is elemental damage

[twin yacht]

I think I'm about 95% lightning at the moment

[dusk narwhal]

nice. Bleeding with conduit or smth?

[twin yacht]

Plasma Blast

I've been doing 800k hits, and haven't faced anything big enough to tank the full bleed yet... but MOOOORE!

[arctic viper]

Can acidic conc crit?

[twin yacht]

Yes, though the base crit is only 5%

[arctic viper]

your sure that the crit is not only for the top part?

[twin yacht]

That's a good question, actually. Generally, the base crit applies to all of the hits of a skill unless specified otherwise, though, unless they changed something recently.

[arctic viper]

yeah the lose life part might not be scalable thats why im confused.

[twin yacht]

"Acidic Burst deals unscalable physical damage equal to 150% of the expected remaining damage of the consumed poison, and has 30% more area of effect per poison affecting the enemy."

From the wiki

[mental briar]

If I have original sin equipped, since its just the damage being converted to chaos not the skill this should have no effect right?

[arctic viper]

i though that was what it said when ggg first shipped the change in the reveal but they changed it to life lose 1 day before league start.

might be wrong on that.

but i remmeber jung and rue talk about that beeing able to scale with crit. even though it says unscalable

[twin yacht]

Ah, then I don't know, sorry.

[arctic viper]

all good i have no clue either XD

[twin yacht]

Damage conversion shouldn't add a Chaos tag to a skill gem, though there have been weird cases of that type of thing in PoE 1 before; Arcane Surge used to grant a duration tag to Righteous fire, allowing it to scale with some other supports.

So if you're in HC with CI specced be careful

Otherwise, I wouldn't worry at all

[left ledge]

Does anyone know if the “damage as extra fire/cold/lightning” mod on weapons apply to global damage? It’s how I scale throne damage

[mental briar]

Do lose % of max life skills kill you if you have CI?

didnt know that

[static plinth]

Lose life cant crit

[static plinth]

You dont lose life or es no

[arctic viper]

sadge. ok ty!

[twin yacht]

Not sure how that works, actually.

[atomic halo]

it's global yes

not sure what throne damage is though

[mental briar]

Btw is there anything in this game that can cap you to a certain threshold e.g. to proc low life. Theres something like that in Last Epoch (caps you at 50% hp) so just wondering

[atomic halo]

infernalist

if you take at least three of the "reserves 25% of life"

you are always on LL

you can also use coward's legacy with only one such node

otherwise i dont think you can do it consistently

[honest grail]

isn't PoE 2 LL threshold at 35%

[atomic halo]

oh it's back down to 35% in poe2?

ggg why

[twin yacht]

35% according to the wiki

[atomic halo]

the alternative method, i guess, is to have no regen, some life cost on a specific skill, and big es. and just get down to LL each encounter

[keen spindle]

question, does this mean it increases the damage of warcries themselves (like seismic cry or the ones that deals damage), or does it increase subsequent attacks affected by warcry (i.e the attack that is buffed by infernal cry)

[atomic halo]

the damage of the cries themself

not the empowered attacks

[keen spindle]

gotcha, thnx!

[shrewd socket]

wanted to make a hexblast build but "can only detonate curses for wich at least half of the duration has expired" makes hexblast pretty much unusable. any idea how to make it work?

[mental briar]

Ty

Do aftershocks of a skill have the chance to proc triggered skills. For example if the skill landed, then aftershocked and both times it hit would it build up Cast on Crit twice as much?

[honest grail]

yep it's 35%

[honest grail]

this does affect fort cry shield wave damage btw

[keen spindle]

ohh gotcha, tnx

[keen spindle]

also, can aftershock proc bleed too if the skill that causes it has a bleed chance?

[vagrant wharf]

Does anybody know if consecrated ground can counteract desecrated ground at all? Or does it unconditionally prevent regen

[midnight obsidian]

there's no interaction between the 2

[fading stone]

could you elaborate on this? trying to do something that needs to generate alot of endurance charges

[sacred sail]

you scrolled up 😮

[fading stone]

i searched endurance charge haha

[sacred sail]

only works for mapping clearing

[fading stone]

ahh, nice interaction. Sadly think id have to be a warrior ascedancy for my plan

[sacred sail]

what do you want

to do

[mental briar]

You can just do warbringer

[fading stone]

probably easier to just go warbringer yeah

i want to spam seismic cry

[mental briar]

or you could play other classes but spec Resonance on the tree

[mental briar]

Then you definitely need to go warbringer cos of ignoring warcry cds

[fading stone]

and the ceiling is much higher with titan, hence trying to generate enudrance

[keen spindle]

does this affect the attack that consumes the glory? i.e if i use HOTG, will this node affect it or only attacks after it?

[mental briar]

I see

[mental briar]

What is your purpose for going titan over WB?

Because titan means you have to speifically get endurance charges to reset CD

warbringer means you can ignore endurance charges altogether

[fading stone]

atulis bloodletting + burden of shadows

to add phys and chaos per life spent on seismic cry. titan would mean much higher hp

[crystal drift]

whats the easiest way to shock a rare without an always shocks companion???

[mental briar]

I see

[harsh sandal]

Hey, any advice on how to make this stack ailments quickly? I'm trying to make it work with Ember Fusillade

[ornate rock]

when i use weapon set 1 skillpoints it uses my main and offhand... when i use weapon set 2 but dont have anything in main and offhand, will it use the stats from my weapon set 1? ... like basically i want to use the SAME weapons for both weaponsets but only change the skillpoints, is that possible?

i want to use the SAME weapons for both weaponsets but only change the skillpoints, is that possible?

[unreal girder]

how come the bow on the left is pmuch a 0 upgrade, spent 3 divs on it and the current one was 10c 😄

[rocky thicket]

are there alternatives for Rathpith Globe/ Kaoms Heart/ Headhunter/ Defiance of Destiny Uniques? I play blood mage Blackflame

[unreal sierra]

atk spd and quality on right one?

left for 3 div looks like scam

but i dont play LA

[pulsar garden]

I made an aura build with tactician, it’s amazing and I can’t be killed , enemies slow down, damage is out - but… I can’t kill any more lol

[mental briar]

Does going above +100% of Armour Also applies to elemental damage do anything?

[pulsar garden]

I was following a Poe ninja snapshot but sort of stuck now

[broken nexus]

there is no way to make living bomb explode by itself, right? it requires damage from another skill?

[sacred sail]

do you know if mana stacker prefer attribute or resistance there ?

[fiery aspen]

Hello, i have an issue with my planned crossbow grenade tactician build - looking at multiple guides and others out there, most of them are using weapon set points to separate grenade buffs vs projectile/explosive shot buffs. Makes sense

a big one i see is this cluster (pictured below). They use weapon set I for example for these and their grenade skills, and weapon set II for reload speed and projectile buffs (elsewhere in the tree not pictured).

Here is where my issue comes in. If i press explosive shot, and it automatically switches to weapon set II, suddenly my grenades suffer 2 debuffs: they lose their extra charge, and their cooldown time increases. Meaning I'm ONLY ever getting the double flash grenade, etc if im already sitting on grenades, which is not really how the build works, you alternate between grenades and shooting. NONE of the guides ive read bring this up.

this makes the weapon set points feel useless, bc i never have 2 charges of flash ready when i need them, and the cooldown for everything is longer while im using my normal shots. Unsure why none of the other builds even mention this being a noticeable issue

[tidal furnace]

Hey does anyone know of a spectre that leaves elemental ground effects?

[fiery aspen]

sorry for the long question, its a rather in-depth build concern to explain. I could just spent 5 extra 'normal' skill points to have those buffs at all times, but that is alot of points and none of the guides and builds im looking at do that, yet none of them bring up the concern with the up-time of these buffs being rather low and im not sure why im noticing it and none of them bring it up in their videos etc etc

[tidal furnace]

Does anyone know of any spectre's that leave elemental ground effects

[unreal girder]

pmuch every bow with those stats is 3 divs

but maybe tradesite fucked up cos of no qual

with the calculations

so I got scammed

[royal hamlet]

Will this work with if I put them to storm skeletons?

[carmine flicker]

No reason not to

[static plinth]

Is it worth buying a 4 fewer constricting command?

[royal hamlet]

dex

xd

[river dew]

Quality?

[cloud star]

What gear (not weapons) commonly has +spirit?

[static plinth]

It can only roll on chests and amulets

[tidal furnace]

anyone know of any mobs I can Spectre that have implicit elemental Ground effects?

or do I need to go with a beast?

[cloud star]

Ty

[fast wind]

How do people get thos incredible screen wipes?

[keen spindle]

im confused about this support, does it only aggravate the bleed if the bleed comes from the same skill that this is socketed on? or does it aggravate all bleed even if that bleed is from a different skill than the one this is socketed on?

[midnight geode]

if this chance goes over 100%, do i get 2 frenzies or smth?

like if its 120% do i always get an extra frenzy with a 20% chance to get 2 extra?

[keen spindle]

i dont think you will get an extra 2 if you overcap it, but its guaranteed to give u an extra 1 if you max it to 100%

[midnight geode]

[keen spindle]

similar to crt rate, i dont think it will go past 100%. But try it just in case

[gritty bay]

has anyone tested brutus brain, where minions dont deal damage but cant be damaged either, will i still have 10% of my damage transfered to my hellhound if i put that in?

or will it not take 10% of my damage since it cannot be damaged

[fast wind]

Should work like lich where "your life cant change" and if you have bypass energy shield so it just deletes that damage

[mental briar]

Do armour damage reductions apply to energy shield too?

[rapid star]

what do you guys think of a "hybrid" builds of Lightning Conduit and Arc for bosoing/tanky rares + Lightning Warp and Ball Lightning for Mapping?

[tough swift]

is there a maximum of auras you can use? or is spirit your only problem ?

[rapid star]

spirit is the only limitation

[tidal furnace]

@keen spindle it aggrevates bleeds already applied. so say you have 2 skills, 1 bleeds not supported by rupture, and the other is supported by rupture, it'll aggrevate that bleed. or at least it should

where can I buy rabbit talismans?

[mental briar]

Found out something interesting, you count as on low life while reserving 25% of health only when using infernalist with CI node

For some reason it rounds down so you only need to reserve one of the nodes to get perma low life

[static plinth]

Is there any way to force yourself to be crit?

[tough swift]

is there any basic melee skill i can use with sceptre?

[static plinth]

No

Sceptres arent martial weapons like 1 theyre just statsticks

[rich siren]

what class uses a mace?

[tough swift]

thats sad

[static plinth]

All of them but they're Warrior's signature

[high warren]

should I focus energy sheild or evasion on hollow palm

ive been focusing energy shield

[viral sage]

does increase AOE passive nodes affect suport gem such as https://poe2db.tw/us/Stomping_Ground ?

[alpine basin]

Yep

[pale niche]

Didn't realize they dumpstered Critical Weakness and now it's impossible to get 😂

[carmine flicker]

why impossible?

malice sceptre didn't go anywhere

[pale niche]

Oh yeah, you're right. I was checking poedb, and it was missing there and it went out of my mind completely 😂

[rain dust]

I know this sounds like a stupid question but if I get "increases to companion damage also applies to you" will that increase my bleed damage?

[rugged kraken]

You can also get critical weakness with reap now.. the wierd staffs they made with special spell ability thats like phjysical dmg its kinda odd though

[distant aspen]

Does anybody know how chaos inoculation interacts with the lich node soulless form? Soulless form converts your base mana regen to be based on 6% of your max life per second

[carmine flicker]

6% of 1 is.. not a lot

[glacial escarp]

does inspiring ally plus meat shield work

to give me the dmg reduction

[carmine flicker]

no

it's not increase or reduction to companion damage

[safe sleet]

I'm looking at this guy's build. why would he use the cast on ailment + double fireball? I'd be surprised if the fireballs were really doing much damage on this build https://poe.ninja/poe2/builds/abyss/character/Trap4you2-8696/MakeWarriorGreatOnce

[plucky hare]

Which would be the best option?

Lightning deadeye

[rugged kraken]

I would go with either projectiles or crit dmg bonus

[slender iron]

What's the best mercenary class people have found so far?

[mint marsh]

How good would valakos vice be with explosive grenades?

[lean canyon]

can someone explain to me what hit pool is effectivly and how much is good?

[rain dust]

I know this sounds like a stupid question but if I get "increases to companion damage also applies to you" will that increase my bleed damage?

Im just not sure where the numbers fall in the calculations

[carmine flicker]

Bleed is based on hit damage
And if that node increases your hit then bleed is affected too

[ember arrow]

i`m not good enough with game math to know which armour will armour the armour, so does anyone knows if the %increase would be on the current 200 or if will it go on the base value? if it goes to the base is it before or after the +20% quality? is it on top of the 14% armour i already have, is it added to it? i'm confused help please

[nimble hound]

Do jewels have level requirements

[viral sage]

i entered an abyss hole and one of these rare abyss monters keep depleting my HP constantly just by being close to me..what MOD these monsters had? how do u deal it with melee?

[carmine flicker]

That's probably soul syphon mod

And either kill it quick or be tankier

Nothing can be done sadly

[viral sage]

i just died to it..and it also had enhanced volatile plant and keeps teleporting.. 😭

[carmine flicker]

Yeah, I'm so happy I'm playing 12k es lich

Really, going melee this league would be tough

[rain dust]

Yeah the rare abyss monsters are aids. No idea how im going to counter them with a evasion based melee character

Why does melee always end up being the worse class?

[nimble hound]

im paying Smith

[viral sage]

well..guess im gonna create new char and follow the trend and spam range atk

[fiery wigeon]

Why cant i socket neural overload and electricute into herold of thunder together ? It was done in buildplanner im following

[carmine flicker]

Poe1 only recently made melee really good

Took long enough

[carmine flicker]

They are tough for 12k es 7k regen lich when there are enough of them

Idk how melee guys survive

[stark dome]

is it possible to have both invuln aura and haste aura on the same rare/compaion? or is there a list of mods that cant show up together?

[median wharf]

is there any melee crit builds that uses armor?

[honest grail]

I play active block and just roll away if I start to see my hp degening lol

[viral sage]

do u still atk with range?

[honest grail]

I use resonating shield + shield wave for clear so no

I just stand in the middle of everything and basically never die

[kind timber]

does boots move speed make you go faster while mounted on rhoa?

[tidal furnace]

hey does Frost dart make chilled ground?

[alpine basin]

Same! I have found resonating shield to be a god send.

I’m playing totem slams, but instead of taking warbringer armour break nodes i’m just using resonating shield. It doubles as crazy good def too and the game has been pretty easy so far.

Then i can pick the first block node and jade instead. Feels freakin gooood

[fast yew]

How this dude has a shappire on ring?

[warm chasm]

I tried searching but didn't see a recent answer; do Quarterstaff passives work with Hollow Palm?

[fast skiff]

so how much damage penalty can I expect to be inflicted on unique targets? it's reduced I assume, but by how much?

[plush kiln]

does volatility count as an attack?

[sleek raptor]

can someone help setup path of building?

[steady birch]

i don't get it why is it 100% here in game but path of building displays 84%?

[undone mortar]

PoB is incomplete

[steady birch]

so im not insane to think replacing inevitable critical to close combat is good? (i need 100% critical for my build)

yeah i think inevitable critical is better(idk why, its already listed 100% crit without it i just dont get it), tested it in 2 different maps, although not sure if diff boss/mods is a good indicator

[wraith palm]

pinpoint critical is goated

[steady birch]

yeah but no one can explain 100% crit but feels different in support gem while the other guy said the 84% in PoB is the app is still not complete

[wraith palm]

you only need to get to about 84 on your in game tooltip anyways with the quality

[steady birch]

ok that explains it ty

still weird tho, i tested it on breach boss

[wraith palm]

yeah. 83.33333.... * 1.2 = 100

[steady birch]

inevitable critical kills it better than close combat if theoretically both of them is 100% inevitable critical should have nothing

[wraith palm]

close combat worked in 0.2, i did the actual math testing haha.

[steady birch]

flicker strike + close combat?

[wraith palm]

the close combat support gem worked with flickerstrike in 0.2, but they changed it to have a few tiers of close combat now might not work. gotta go test it to find out

[steady birch]

i see

[wraith palm]

in 0.2 it worked regardless of how far away you initilally dashed from

[steady birch]

i recorded the vid between inevitable and close combat, since its 100% crit, it should be the same number of hits right? or is there any other variable?

[wraith palm]

power charges defines how many hits

[steady birch]

icic

i still don't understand why this game doesn't have the most simple basic function: dummy

[wraith palm]

i record and do math

[woeful sundial]

anyone have any advice for an int stacking lightning spear build. i chanced an astramentis, bought a starter howa for like nothing, and am just leveling atm thinking of what to do

[bronze canopy]

is everyoone just running lightning arrow to lvl? I played warrior before with slam build, wondering if any ice or fire builds are good atm? i hate lightning stuff

[digital axle]

hello, can some smart poe veteran explain why impending doom works when i kill enemies but doesnt work when decaying hex kills it?

[restive needle]

Decaying hex is a support gem with the curse tag

Not a curse itself

[digital axle]

sorry that didnt explain for me 😄 i curse enemies, without decaying hex when i kill impending doom triggers, same scenario with decaying hex added. instead of me killing, decaying hex does it. shouldnt it trigger? since killing enemy counts as expire?

[woven depot]

Not only that, it’s not something you cast yourself

You cast the curse

[restive needle]

Does impending doom proc normally on dead enemies

[digital axle]

yes, without decaying hex

[restive needle]

And decaying hex doesn't destroy the corpse?

[digital axle]

as far as i know it doesnt say that it destroys corpses

[restive needle]

No idea then, unless decaying hex does actually count as a curse, in which case it wouldn't trigger the blast because it's not self cast

[pseudo gale]

is the mod on weapon "elemental damage with attacks" pre calculation? like that increases the attack damage elemental flats but is calculated before +20% lightning damage mods?

[alpine basin]

Kinda feels like the aftershock nodes aren’t really worth it if you aren’t running volcanic fissure 🤔

I’m only running forge hammer and EQ now with my totems and neither seem to benefit as much from the points invest in aftershock

[digital axle]

my bad, inpending doom triggers randomly.... sometimes it does and sometimes it doesnt... decaying hex had nth to do with it

[restive needle]

Weird that the skill doesn't mention it

Or is it mentioned in the doomblast section

[thick hawk]

Does anyone know why the top monks on Poe ninja are using charge regulation instead of trinity with plus lvl lineage?

[digital axle]

with decaying hex

spagheti code?

[keen sierra]

when a build guide says that i want "high ele/phys bow" does that mean one or the other? or should it be both? Running LA Deadeye and dunno whether to grab this high phys dps bow that has no lightning dmg

[deft fox]

Guys any idea how I would get Time of Need proc as low as possible ?
I've seen people get it down to 1.5 seconds but there's almost nothing on the tree

[alpine basin]

compressed duration is one

[deft fox]

compressed duration + near at hand off the tree is all I've got, it's down to 4s

but i've seen this beauty

[alpine basin]

maybe there is from nothing in range?

nah... not that i'm seeing

[deft fox]

only one other node for reduced duration for mage, on the other side of the tree

[hot bolt]

What are the botlenecks for switching to a full crit LA build? Is it just high crit on bow?

[shrewd raptor]

does hollow palm work with the quarterstaff node cluster on the right of the tree? trying it with pob but its not updating the crit hit or attack speed

[mystic osprey]

for skills that take skills as supports such as mortar cannon, is the level of the skill you put in important?

[mental briar]

is blasphemy support bugged its meant to increase radius but the skill radius looks super small here

[carmine flicker]

Being titan to increase effect of reduced duration nodes

[frozen knot]

that's not the actual area of the curse

[pale niche]

What he said, it's pretty much just Titan stuff

[glass forge]

but we can't see the distance of the curse 🙁

[pale niche]

just test it in a low level zone

But yeah, that's a classic GGG "nearby"

[proud chasm]

anyone thunderfirst build

[carmine flicker]

there is radius mentioned in skill info

[mental briar]

Ok so visually wrong

Does temporal chains slow any projectiles coming into range? I assume not since originally its a curse not some sort of presence

And if so is there anything which does have this effect

[carmine flicker]

ofc not

[halcyon solar]

What is the "stuff" that sometimes drains your hp so drastically when near Abyssal cracks?

[carmine flicker]

probably desecrated ground

[halcyon solar]

i read somewhere there's something that drains hp when you move and you would have to stand still

but so far my instinct always was to get the heck out of dodge.

[carmine flicker]

I only know bleeding that works like that

[halcyon solar]

there are these kinds of very thin pylons someone showed. Those are supposed to do that, but sure tbh

[proud chasm]

anyone thunderfist build?

[dire cave]

can also be chaos puddles

similar to the blood pools that do phys dmg over time from blood carriers and cretins

[tidal birch]

What is a good level 1 Support for Wither-Aura?

[carmine flicker]

one that increase duration

[sour basin]

anyone free to look through and tell me what i could look into to help with faster/more reliable clearing now im in maps

https://pobb.in/ZnuA_NR1t5sX

[carmine flicker]

comet self cast is miserable, man

[halcyon solar]

The signposts with e.g. the swirly things on it are the chests in expedition, right?

[sour basin]

its just slotted in for now and has helped haha

[carmine flicker]

rapid casting is bad support for damage skill

[noble token]

how the fuck do i consume any ailments with a crossbow to trigger shard scavanger

[sour basin]

fireball/infusions are my main dps source.

[noble token]

surely im missing something because none of the skills consume jack shit

[carmine flicker]

swap considered casting for unleash

[rustic wyvern]

Should I play a arc build?

[carmine flicker]

or for any %more damage support, tbh

[sour basin]

is that the one that can make it cast around you?

[carmine flicker]

not considered, my bad

Rapid casting

[carmine flicker]

unleash passively "store" copies of the spell and fire them next time you cast it

[sour basin]

oh that one i thought thats only good for things that have a longer CD lol

[carmine flicker]

it's around 20-25% more damage in average

[noble token]

i dont think unleash can support cd skills can it?

[carmine flicker]

and probably more if you are not casting non-stop

while rapid casting is like 15% more damage at most

[rustic wyvern]

Is the arc skill good for fighting bosses?

[carmine flicker]

arc skill is terrible

it's good clearing when you have lightning infusion, that's it

[rustic wyvern]

Oh ok

[carmine flicker]

(sadly. I want to use arc, I love lightning)

then again most elemental skills are more or less meh this patch

[halcyon solar]

was thinkin about rerolling a mage, after i Deadeye is pretty much finished. However sparks is getting so old :/
and it's still pretty much the go to besides maybe Essence Drain

[carmine flicker]

elemental infusion mechanics that feel bad
constant need to pickup those motes..

[sour basin]

any good uniques (cheap as im currently sat on 0ex lol) that would help with clear/survivability? im doing my own build so i dont expect to get major results

[rustic wyvern]

Yeah in my build guide I can use arc until like end of act 2 and then I have to replace it but I love the clearing speed that it has

[carmine flicker]

can I link you my build guide? I'm pretty sure you never player anything like that

[halcyon solar]

sure, go for it.

[sour basin]

lol i just went "ooo fire" and chose that

saw someone do their own archmage/palpatine build so i was like why not be a firebender instead XD

[carmine flicker]

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3847364

[sour basin]

even with +spell on wand/ammy the damage itself seems weak overall even with an infusion a lot of blues take like 25-35% in one empowered fireball shot through flamewall
