2┃build-planning

[carmine flicker]

use ricochet for fireball

so it bounce of the walls back to main target

[sour basin]

i guess imma have to log in to look at these XD

what about things to get more chance for 2 additional projectiles? i wanna shoot 3 but its still far too inconsistant even with all the nodes in tree taken

[carmine flicker]

wand corruption

[sour basin]

its an affix on wands?

[carmine flicker]

yeah

[sour basin]

what about arcane surge? i have on helm and i know theres a abyss belt which can be sockets count as gloves for a rune that gives 40% but cant find that

[carmine flicker]

corrupted mod

[carmine flicker]

it's... ok
not worth belt slot tho

[sour basin]

its "more" damage though isnt it?

[carmine flicker]

at best it's like 25% increased cast speed from belt slot

that's.. not good

[sour basin]

"more" damage isnt good??

or the cast speed?

i do plan to use rest of points going for ES and crit chance nodes so i can have empowered crit fireballs that sounds like it might start to do some damage

im doing armor/ES (strength for life and the node which is 5% of max life converted into ES) whats a good setup between getting some armor/es gear and some pure es gear? should i do extremeties as armor/es since they have naturally lower values and pure ES on body?

[carmine flicker]

it's increased, not more

and it's cast speed

[sour basin]

oh its mana regen......damn i thought it was damage lol

[carmine flicker]

armor/es have no synergy
es/eva at least have ghost dance
go pure ES, armor is useless for you

[sour basin]

i mean if theres a tanky enemy i can last longer than the mana regen can keep up rn if casting fireball over and over lol

but thats why i was focusing cast speed also for when i start criting the crits will do all the damage so the faster i attack the faster things die was my thought process

[carmine flicker]

mana flask exist

[halcyon solar]

can you defer the same item multiple times in Ritual? to make it cheaper each time?

[carmine flicker]

(not for me, I'm punk in that case, but for most players, you know..)

[sour basin]

when ive needed to use mana flask id run out of charges (looking at that interlude woman that spams chaos degen things and has the wisps near)

[halcyon solar]

in T15+ and 4 Ritual Altars I still would never get near that amount 😮

[carmine flicker]

what's the item? Oo

[halcyon solar]

That's why I asked if you can defer stuff multiple times

[sour basin]

so it was just rapid casting for unleash is the only supp to swap? i will put comet in cast on elemental ailment but needed to get a lil more damage and flamability magnitude so fireball can ignite more frequently for the gem to be useful

[carmine flicker]

and in POE1 you could defer many times

idk in POE2

[halcyon solar]

and it would get cheaper each time?

[carmine flicker]

yes

[sour basin]

was it this modifier that was the corruption mod? ive looked at "wands" with this modifier only and nothing is showing

[carmine flicker]

tbh, idk
I tried going ele skills, was put off by "lol no damage" and switched to more impactful solutions

[halcyon solar]

yeah sadly, i spent all the tribute before already, but I don't quite get the "Total Deferal Cost". What does it represent?

[sour basin]

im not fussed about it being a t15 killer i dont like the end game much so my fun comes from just throwing what i like together and seeing how far that can go. the damage rn isnt the worst but i feel its on a decline and i havent had many tree upgrades in a while because ive mostly focused getting to the left side arcane surge and the top right chance for additional projectiles and ES (was at 870 and bumped it to 3k)

[unreal sierra]

its desecrated modifier

[sour basin]

future discount + deferral fee = total

[carmine flicker]

t15 is just "start of the game" for me, tbh

[shrewd sentinel]

I wanna ask about LA Deadeye bow ,with LA Deadeye, what happens if i switch to howa but my bow still has cold/fire damage? is it useless because it's not physical or lightning damage?

[carmine flicker]

like I can clear juiced t15 now while asleep, but it's too boring already. I want more challenge

[hasty gust]

Is this good dmg for T11 ?

[errant wyvern]

hey guys, quick question: How do I use the weapon set points in path of building?

[sour basin]

i felt that way with LS on the poe1 idol league

[unreal sierra]

no, it still works fine, you just dont get scaling from lightning dmg on tree for example

[unreal sierra]

double-click on number of weapon set passives on top of screen

[errant wyvern]

Thanks

[carmine flicker]

it's about 750k damage over 15 seconds, so 50K DPS
it's.. not good, but not that bad?

[halcyon solar]

how is a future discount a negative or a cost?

[shrewd sentinel]

Damn, that's a bad news then because these bows that physical/lightning dmg cost an arm and a leg
Thanks for the help

[sour basin]

what does that mean? i just tried the desecrated modifier and still nothing

[hasty gust]

Then I don't know what I can improve more for dmg. I am lacking in the Gear department...

[halcyon solar]

you gotta throw that thing in the well in act 2 to reveal it

[unreal sierra]

https://puu.sh/KAqUl/7b28a2342f.png

[sour basin]

idk i dont do ritual i just added the 2 numbers together

[unreal sierra]

its from abyss

only

[sour basin]

im using the one in game lol and with it being small i clicked on proj speed thats probs why lol

[carmine flicker]

oh, they changed that? ok

[sour basin]

can it be on a wand?

[unreal sierra]

staff or focus

[sour basin]

oh focus

[unreal sierra]

i dont think they changed anything it was like that from start

[carmine flicker]

hmm
I remember things wrong then, thx

[sour basin]

"adds # to # fire damage" is that flat damage that could help spells since its not the one that mentions "from attacks"?

[carmine flicker]

oh

that's why those were corrupted

to have 2 sockets for this

[unreal sierra]

oh yeah thats another source

[sour basin]

ahh so it was from that gem. i did see that but couldnt remember if it was wand or belt lol

[unreal sierra]

no if it doesnt specify then its only for attacks from that weapon

[carmine flicker]

my memory deceived me

[sour basin]

from the actual weapon so like bow attacks?

[unreal sierra]

yes

[sour basin]

so no way to get base damage for spell skills?

[carmine flicker]

no

except +lvls

[sour basin]

oof

[unreal sierra]

sadly no, i think they dont want flat on spells for balance purposes

but then spells come undercooked in result lol

[carmine flicker]

and base damage on many spells isn't good at all

they are only "ok" with elemental infusion

and "useless" without

[sour basin]

yeah infusion and flame wall

[carmine flicker]

so either you invest in it fully, to have it like 90% of casts.. or it flat out doesn't work

[sour basin]

i have focused a lot into remnant/infusion nodes (took a few not as useful ones rn so i could get to the top right chance for +2 projectiles

[carmine flicker]

so I'd go for bone spells(they weren't "improved" so far, so actually works)

or for int stack doedre, I guess

[unreal sierra]

ED/contagion works too i think

[sour basin]

oof i used my only vaal to try corrupt a new focus hoping for +1 socket and it changed like 60% fire damage to +32 max ES lol

[carmine flicker]

yeah, but I had enough of THAT in poe1 )

[frigid hill]

Does Blood Mage's Sunder the Flesh base 15% crit apply to skills granted by items?

[carmine flicker]

as long as those are spells

[frigid hill]

okay, PoB lied to me

thanks!

[unreal sierra]

i feel pob is struggling still even with 0.2 things

[frigid hill]

hmm volatile dead is supposed to have base 7% crit and PoB doesnt even see that edit: nvm im stupid lol edit edit: im not stupid lol

time to learn Lua i guess

[carmine flicker]

POB for poe2 isn't as good as POE1 one

[unreal sierra]

so many things change every patch that its hard to keep up i suppose

[woven basin]

it’s just very much in beta rn

best for tree planning and not really good for running numbers

[unreal sierra]

p.much

[sour basin]

So based off what you saw in my pob are there any uniques that jump out at you which sounds like they could aid what I'm going for?

[midnight bolt]

with armor applied to ele dmg, which one applies first ele res or armor to enemy hit?

[unreal sierra]

old heatproofing from tree applied before, but i havent checked how it works now

[frozen knot]

does anyone know why my life sometimes goes down when i have Eternal Life and ES?

[frigid hill]

if u get +max life from any source it'll be added as empty life

str, shrine, gear

[mental briar]

is there any difference between the two when using the word "extra". Like does extra chaos damage scale differently to the top one

[noble token]

is there any way to consume ignite on a crossbow without weapon swapping?

shard scavanger feels really tied to armour break and im trying to use it for the +1 grenade

[timid aurora]

Does that constricting helmet work on 4 less ?

For 1 target

[still dirge]

yeah as chaos is stronger than as extra chaos

[frozen knot]

found the culprit ty

[tidal birch]

How do I improve single target dmg with a chaos dot build in the first 3 acts?

[hidden siren]

whats the easiest way to gain endurance charges

[pale niche]

I mean i get it, but it's meaningless if you don't really know what's the base of measurement :p

[gritty bay]

what happens if you put Loyality (where 10% of damage you take gets transfered to your minion) on multiple minions? do you take 0 damage when you have 10 different minions?

[pale niche]

I would guess so?

[carmine flicker]

use ice nova, check it's radius, use it's visual as base measurement

[tidal birch]

my guess is, that 10% of the dmg you take would be split up on the 10 minions you have

[carmine flicker]

loyality only works on companions and you can't have more than one

[gritty bay]

ah makes sense now

[dire cave]

you can have 2

[carmine flicker]

oh, ye
in that case idk

need to test

[shrewd sentinel]

Okay i need help, i've sold my bloodmage build and now i have like 50 divs left, should i buy a better bow or headhunter first for Crit LA Deadeye? (currently i'm using a 3 div bow) , i play mostly map clears and barely do any pinnacle

[carmine flicker]

why did you sold blood mage btw?

[tropic onyx]

so if i have giants blood with perfect strike, and i have a 2 handed weapon and shield does it still have the slow charge as if im two handing the weapon? or does it have the charge of a One handed mace

[dire cave]

still 2handed

[tropic onyx]

awhhh okay thanks! because it takes so long to charge im wondering if its even worth using

[dire cave]

imo 1h is better

[spark valley]

Hh if ur clearing t16 easy with current bow

[tropic onyx]

Like by the time i land the hit i could have done a full 8 stacks of fissure

[tropic onyx]

i would but it does like nooo damage with one handed

[dreamy bridge]

what are the ways to increase the stun bar? just life and whatever damage mitigation for the hit?

[tropic onyx]

like with 2 handed i do alot more dqmage

[dire cave]

well then I'd say you are not using a 1 handed right

1 handed weapons specialize in mobility and actions per minute imo

[tropic onyx]

maybe

im just going for big perfect strike burn damage

[dire cave]

yes you could get triple the damage from a 2hander but you'd get triple the attack speed with a 1hander

[dire cave]

in this situation 2 hander is better

since you only need to hit once and let ignite do the rest

[tropic onyx]

im going for burn magnitude build since they changed ignite and how it works

[dire cave]

did they?

when?

[manic parrot]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aAQZweEIIg

just gonna drop this here

[dire cave]

what is the most importan gear slot for minion builds?

is it the sceptre or something else?

[summer pasture]

Spectres and bones of ullr boots imo

[dire cave]

last I checked bones where 100 ex

[dreamy bridge]

sceptre > amulet or helmet, and i forget if focus can get +minion

[summer pasture]

Didn't say they were cheap

[summer pasture]

I think focus can

[dire cave]

no you did not 🥲

[summer pasture]

Besides bones are for using undead minions

[dire cave]

doin spectre myself

[tropic onyx]

0.3 update, it no longer is a chance to ignite, now u have to build it up and when it reaches 100 percent then they burn

[dire cave]

from my understanding flammabiltiy builds up and increases ignite chance it doesnt mean they get ignited when that hits 100%

[dreamy bridge]

flammability IS your ignite chance. 100% flammable means every hit ignites

[eager basin]

Pity bar

[dreamy bridge]

not really, it doesn't get removed once you ignite

unless I've never been igniting all this time

[shrewd sentinel]

Just bored since last league i played arc and getting bored with magic based classes, so yeah switched to deadeye

[dire cave]

play a warrior

[shrewd sentinel]

Barely can sustain the damage at juiced T16 so i assume it's bow upgrade then

[dire cave]

first act is rough imo

[dreamy bridge]

yeah the first and second abyss can rip pretty easily

[serene minnow]

would this apply to ballista totems if you are using a crossbow ?

[carmine flicker]

tbh there is little to no difference between caster and bow build in playstile. spam one ranged aoe nuke and kill

[pale niche]

yes ballista still need a crossbow to be "casted" so they're two handed weapons

[abstract mortar]

does poe 2 also has a timeless jewel calculator?

[bright haven]

Is someone here playing haemocrystals?

[somber pendant]

is the corpse explosion physical portion treated as a seperate hit thus if i add poison chance the physical portion will not contribute to poison damage?

tooltip shows very little damage so im guessing its a seperate hit

but its % based so it wouldnt show

[mental briar]

anyone know why this is happening, I have blasphemy costing 60 and one other spirit gem costing 40 to make 100 total

but for some reason its going negative

[serene minnow]

this maybe ?

[trim swan]

Hello, do you stack fire or Chaos damage with blackflame covenenant or either one ?

[mental briar]

Found out its due to MCM but not sure where gonnna try change it

Is that a thing in poe2?

Ill try double check now ingame

I never realised that supports have reservation efficiency too

good to know now I guess

[supple osprey]

Hey on deadeye la why are we not using ingeunity belt but just rare belt
whats special about rare belts
am i missing sth

[shy root]

is the Aftershock III support gem not actually in the game? Can't seem to cut it

[small tulip]

For Essence drain Wand, +6 skills and 100% spell damage or +7 skills and 30% spell damage ?

[dire cave]

if its not in the support list it doesnt exist same way wildshard 3 doesnt exist and only 1 and 2 are in the game

[shy root]

Thanks

[halcyon solar]

Hm I'm fairly uncertain if this is actually worth missing out on +quant and rare monsters?

[shrewd raptor]

does hollow palm with the quarterstaff node cluster on the right side of the tree?

[halcyon solar]

Is this smth that has much of an impact? So far i have not seen it as a problem at all and viewed it as one of the better affixes on maps.

[atomic halo]

no

[shrewd raptor]

dang, ty. that looked like a nice area but kinda expensive to path to

[celest oxide]

I'm so squishy on Deadeye now idk when I should switch to Hybrid

I get one shot every map

at t13 only

[maiden ivy]

so fine people.
I want to do a mortar focused build.
Now i see 2 options, Tactician and build around the Pin dammage buffs you can easily stack.
Or warrior, and have the ancients trigger the clusters as you can make those spawn every time you put down a mortar

What would be better? both look fine to me, but im not experienced with this playstyle

[dawn spire]

Converting in poe2 means the damage only scales with modifiers to its final form. So fire damage modifiers would do nothing, but chaos modifiers will.

Also worth noting that modifiers to ignite or flammability will work for the chaos Ignites

[quiet linden]

Does Heightened Curse not work with Blashpemy?

[dawn spire]

It should work unless they patched it

But it has a 140% reservation multiplier so it takes blasphemy from 60 spirit to 84

[mental briar]

It will make things very expensive spirit wise

Depending on what curse youre planning to socket there may be alternatives which dont reserve more

[quiet linden]

Yeah that's it then, I only have 71 Spirit.

[burnt harness]

Tips to What spirit gem should i chose as a warrior hardcore?

[celest oxide]

Can you change the skill you have anointed on an amulet or do you need to get a new amulet altogether?

[formal silo]

if you have access to crit nodes as a 2 handed mace user is it worth trying crit?

[dawn badge]

Hey guys, how can i check how much dps / physical dps that one has? tia

[hidden siren]

put it into pob

[dawn badge]

Uhm

[hidden siren]

path of building its a 3rd party program that does calculations

[dawn badge]

Oh okay

[hidden siren]

the scuffed way would be to list it on trade for like 99 mirrors so u can check the dps

just have to filter by ur account

[dawn badge]

thats a good idea

thank you sir

[hidden siren]

if ur on pc i would highly suggest downloading pob tho

[dusty viper]

Hey all. Is rakita flow worth the price? Thinking of snagging one

[west egret]

so im following fubgun's deadeye guide and i wanted to know when should i transition from evasion/deflection to hybrid? level wise?

[hidden siren]

when u can afford it

[fickle zinc]

Is there an aura that will slow targets as they rush my caster?

[static plinth]

Blasphemy Temporal Chains

[fickle zinc]

I will look into that combo, thanks!

[static plinth]

It does take up a curse though, so you might need Whispers of Doom or something

[fickle zinc]

Can blasphemy run more than one curse if I have Whispers?

Is there by chance a Unique that provides Temporal Chains?

[lyric oyster]

did ggg nerf es or es recovery? i started dying a lot all of a sudden cuz the es just doesnt come back

[quiet forge]

Yes

[fickle zinc]

Never played a caster before, trying this ED / Contagion combo, but overrun by the Abyss mobs

[nova crown]

yo on qouarter staff when i play elemental dmg and i have melee skills on it it has like 151-316 will it still be stronger than a staff wit 316 to 509 but with non elemental or melle skills yes right ?

[unreal sierra]

as always, it depends

[frozen knot]

Blasphemy/Temporal chains/slow potency/ritualistic curse and magnified area 2 is actually so broken

[quiet forge]

Now make it infinite with lich

[fickle zinc]

I went BM, maybe I should have went Lich 🙂

[tardy niche]

Does stun recovery help you recover from sprint fall? Im considering going for it in my tree

[frozen knot]

someone said it doesn't

[tardy niche]

to bad, that time is way to long

[light dew]

this only gives the dmg bonus of the fully broken effect right? it doesnt shred down to 0 fire res right?

ie the 20% more dmg is applied to fire damage

right?

[gray gate]

Hey may I ask, if I play Merc Grenades and I deal fire and physical damage with them, does the crossbow %to elemental attacks increase that dmg?

[frozen knot]

you can change ascendancy quite easily

[fickle zinc]

Do I have to run the sanctum again to do so?

[frozen knot]

yeah but Lich doesn't get much power from the first 2 ascendancy points

[fickle zinc]

TBH I am unsure how the BM and Lich differ

[frozen knot]

Lich can become incredibly tanky

[fickle zinc]

I really like the BM notable that differs 25% DMG over 4 secs

[frozen knot]

Lich can just straight up ignore 25% dmg taken if you have ES

Soulless form + atziri's Disdain helmet + heavy buffer notable is 25% damage taken bypasses ES

but eternal life makes it so that dmg that bypasses becomes 0

[dawn badge]

is physical damage more important than elemental damage for lightning arrow?

[empty torrent]

what are some good jewels for LA non crit?

[frozen knot]

yep

[dawn badge]

so if i have a bow with 257-357 physical it should be much better than a bow with 178 -254 physical but with one more arrow?

[twilit cairn]

is there no class channels on discord for path of exile 2 ? i dont see them, maybe i muted them?

[halcyon solar]

not sure where i wanna price this, since with the desecrated mod you can't find any matches. Last roll %Lightn was kinda meh. Guess 2-4 div

[frozen knot]

depends on how many arrows you have

[dawn badge]

1 now, it would be two with a other bow

[queen moon]

anyone wanna help me?

[frozen knot]

go to #1308715058716610580 for class specifc questions

[queen moon]

anyone down to help me?

[frozen knot]

seems like the higher phys dmg is better

[twilit cairn]

so thats a no for the class channels i guess. 😉 tyty

[frozen knot]

i mean it's basically a class channel xD

[midnight geode]

is there a point lvling this up?

[twilit cairn]

ohh yeah neat i just noticed this

[queen moon]

anone wanna help me in a build?

just got one question

[frozen knot]

what's the question

[timid aurora]

What is a cheap class or build. I'm warrior but I see people using item with 600 divine and I just don't have enough time for that

[queen moon]

so im following a build

thats for 0.3 tte

and it shows that i need a unique thats not in the league?

[frozen knot]

which unique is that

[queen moon]

the unique that makes all enemies around me count as being low on life

and my build is based on that

its the tower

[frozen knot]

oh yeah that got removed cause they want to remake it

[queen moon]

dang

really?

[frozen knot]

i also wanted to use that for my merc this league but it's definitely too op

[queen moon]

is it coming back?

[frozen knot]

yeah but not in 0.3 and it won't be the same as before

[queen moon]

aw dang

i was doing a flicker gemling but it got removed

but ty for helping me

[vocal onyx]

warrior is pretty cheap. I bought close to my BiS weapon for like 80 ex, im currently clearing most t15s aside from temporal chains/chilled ground/- max res

[wraith light]

is any build using this? i went upgrading it cuz the rolls were pretty high and wanted to see what i can get. what would u guys pick ? 😄

[queen moon]

i would say second or third

[hidden siren]

def worth something

altho no crit and no accuracy hurts it

[wraith light]

really not sure what would be the prefered choice. no idea what build utilizes spear atm <.<

[hidden siren]

lightning spear

is meta

[wraith light]

chance or attack speed is the question hmmmm

[hidden siren]

so check those on poeninja

[wraith light]

thanks

[wraith light]

never heard of this site haha

now im lost)

[hidden siren]

it shows all the players that upload their char to the site

can sort by dps to see their full build and gear

could also look at spear econ on trade too

[vivid kestrel]

Does anyone know if Tamed Beasts that become Companions will inherit their Delirium Mods?

[halcyon solar]

Is there some kind of app, that would like open trade with the modifiers of an item you clicked already selected?

[narrow depot]

whats the light blue thing called, i need to search it up on the trade site but idk the filters name

not sure where its relevant to ask abt it

[kind timber]

the lighter blue is called an implicit mod, the darker blue ones below it are explicit mods.

[narrow depot]

oo

[kind timber]

implicits generally always come with a specific item type

that specific kind of glove will always have that kind of implicit mod

[narrow depot]

tysm

gotchu

[proud chasm]

how get deadly herald . i have 220 spirit same build?

[static plinth]

So i want to respec to a build around Forge Hammer, but just throwing it over and over rather than exploding it. This is what i cooked up,
https://pobb.in/jutvKeufG1z9
But i am not remotely happy with it. Kind of regret going merc but id rather die than make a new character and run the campaign again. Can anyone help?

[minor tree]

Are there any builds that have been standing out for being very good for very low investment?

i'm thinking of recoup demon form, maybeconcoction pathfinder, and perhaps hollow palm due to having no weapon requirement?

would love to hear more opinions on this, currently leveled a warbringer and shield skills have been very effective (just need a shield with lots of armor)

[static plinth]

EDC is really good with nothing

[amber briar]

anyone got any spirit gems lying around? could use around 5, any level will do

[static plinth]

I used a lifesprig til mid maps in 0.1 just fine

[minor tree]

how's the damage vs bosses? i worry it's low

with warbringer it's a similar issue but shield wall goes hard

[static plinth]

Its not dogshit

Good vs rares but Zarokh and stuff will take a while

[haughty cargo]

Does fire damage increase work before converting to chaos or no?

[quiet forge]

what are some good sources of non-critical multiplication for attack/hit skills?

[dawn spire]

If you're converting 100% fire to chaos, for example, then fire damage modifiers will do nothing

[haughty cargo]

all right tyty ❤️

[dawn spire]

I'd give #rules-and-info a read, specifically #6

[formal violet]

Rule 6. No trading, begging, asking for 'loans', giveaways, tips for services, etc for any game. See #trading for alternatives.

[mental briar]

is this meant to be such awful scaling

theres literally a node which gives +2 evasion per 1 energy shield on helm

yet this one is literally 24x worse the other way

[hidden siren]

yes

[static plinth]

The helm version is the one thats awful

[hidden siren]

the helm one is way better

the one that bases ev off es on helm?

500 es is 1000 ev

how is that bad

[mental briar]

this easily gives 600 Evasion from a 300 ES Helment, meanwhile a 800 Evasion body only gives 66 energy shield...

[static plinth]

wait yes im stupid

[dawn spire]

Because ES is way harder to come by

[mental briar]

Like I must be missing something fr

[dawn spire]

You're comparing a 300 es helm to an 800 Eva chest?

[hidden siren]

400es on helm on a budget is def doable

[dawn spire]

A 300 es helm is great, an 800 Eva chest is crap

[hidden siren]

ev should be close to 2k

on chest

[mental briar]

ok a 2k evasion chest highest on market rn still only gives 167 ES...

[hidden siren]

yes its not worth

dont take the node

[mental briar]

Like I would understand if the scaling is both ways similar ratio

[dawn spire]

I mean, 167 ES before modifiers can end up being like 450 total es from one node

[mental briar]

but its literally 1:2 one node and 12:1 another node

[hidden siren]

they have to keep it low

[mental briar]

Ok then the question is, is that "max energy shield" added to base

[dawn spire]

Yes

[mental briar]

so that it scales off %?

I see

[hidden siren]

they dont want es to be stronger than it already is

[dawn spire]

Well, not to the base of the item

But it scales with global es modifiers

[hidden siren]

and or global defense

[mental briar]

I see

Build im following takes it so was just wondering why it was so crap

I have a hybrid chest so probably not worth

[hidden siren]

what was their chest looking like tho

could be crap if it was low and they didnt have any global es mods on ammy or jewels

or passive nodes

[mental briar]

They also say to go a hybrid

[median wharf]

Any melee build that uses crit and armour?

[hidden siren]

warriors?

[dawn spire]

Any melee build can use crit and armour. I'm not sure how you'd check that in poeninja

My crit slam infernalist build uses crit and armour

[hidden siren]

warrior ascendancies and sort by dps prob

highest dps are all crit focused atm

[dawn spire]

I'd go by people using maces

[hidden siren]

but u dont really have crit nodes near the south tho no?

[dawn spire]

You've got plenty

[hidden siren]

oh wait overwhelming strike iss down there

i have that one instilled

[median wharf]

I feel like most take resolute tech

🥹

[hidden siren]

armour is in a good place now which is funny bc all the warriors were complaining their class got nerfed bc of the block changes

[dawn spire]

Man I just want to learn how people level with maces. I felt like it was going fine until I ripped to an abyss on death effect. Coincidentally, I think they nerfed it today (one day after)

Like how do you deal with big packs? Rolling slam?

I'm talking acts 1-3

[median wharf]

Rolling slam to sunder

[dawn spire]

I was afraid you'd say that

Rolling slam feels so fucking scary in hc lmao

[junior gull]

Hey guyz, sorry to bother but could someone explain to me how do i now how much rarity of item i need on my gears?
Lots of people throw me what seem like random number (between 100 and 150%) with no more explanation.
Could someone teach me properly?

[median wharf]

Yeah warrior leveling isnt it, too slow too

[dawn spire]

The only real answer is, "As much as you can get without wrecking your build"

[mental briar]

Just run CI and never die to abyss on death effect

[hidden siren]

just make it a ranged warrior till endgame

[dawn spire]

Part of me is just feeling resigned to go minions or ED/C to level with

As warrior

[mental briar]

I always go LA to level

[dawn spire]

Or infernalist

[junior gull]

Alright so if i can go beyond 300% i should just do it?

[mental briar]

just super quick and easy delete screens and bosses

[hidden siren]

la is the easiest to lvl

[mental briar]

my issue with ED/C is too slow bossing early

[dawn spire]

If you're not drastically lowering your dps or clear speed I don't see why not

[dawn spire]

Then it sounds like you're not hotswapping to zenith for bosses

[junior gull]

Alright, thank you.

[static plinth]

The ideal is Brink Leap Slam Boneshatter i think

I havent done much of it though

[dawn spire]

The real issue is that it's impossible to get that much without dramatically lowering your dps and clear speed, though. Each rarity mod is a prefix or suffix that you're losing

[mental briar]

I just followed a random build didnt really look too much into ED/C

[hidden siren]

rarity is best kept on waystones and tablets

[junior gull]

Welp i kinda want to know how it affect drop chance and such. But as for my dps, don't worry it's for aura botting with friends.

[dawn spire]

Oh, that's an idea. I was doing brink rolling slam boneshatter

[dawn spire]

We all want to know the formula but no one has it. All we have is anecdotal evidence about how it works and how much is "too much" (if that even exists)

[static plinth]

Leap insta-stuns full health targets so its perfect for Brink

Its also faster than rolling

[dawn spire]

That's huge, yeah

[static plinth]

Its still kinda clunky but i liked it for the duration i used it for

[dawn spire]

And then rolling slam for bosses

[static plinth]

Very satisfying at least

[dawn spire]

Yeah I was enjoying the first hit of rolling slam and then animation canceling into boneshatter

[static plinth]

Bosses i just used Armor Breaker and default strike

Bosses is what made me swap away lol

[sullen jolt]

If I'm doing weapon swap purely to apply curses, then all I need to care about on my other weapon is spell level and cast speed, yeah?

[dawn spire]

Not sure if you can get fancy mods like aoe or duration from essences or abyss mods, but other than that, yeah, just cast speed and levels

[static plinth]

Pretty sure you can get some solid ones from Abyss

[dawn spire]

Reduced attribute requirements might help

Or int to help you meet the curse int requirement

[fleet blaze]

someone help me out? couple days ago maybe 5? i saw a spinning monk build i think. where he was spinning around shooting out 5 dusty looking attacks

what build was that

definitely looked like sand

[silent glade]

that sounds like they were using whirling assault (spinning around) and staggering palm (gives the projectiles)

[unborn swallow]

The Wavesahaper unique allows all mana regeneration increase or decrease to apply to shield regeneration. Would that be nullified if I take the souless form ascendancy perk that removes inherent mana regeneration?

[hidden siren]

if it was 5 days ago they might have already switched off of it due to them fixing a bug

that nerfed it

u wouldnt have mana regen

[fleet blaze]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5RrE-hUThc found it

[fleet blaze]

so the video i just linked doesn't work anymore?

[hidden siren]

dead for movespeed

Fixed a bug where Whirling Slash's travel distance could no longer change based on your attack speed.

its much slower now

[fleet blaze]

shoot. dunno what i wanna build. not a fan of meta'ing it up

just finished a spiral volley bleed tactician. followed jaytx for it. really fun build but i think im reaching its limits

[static plinth]

Thats a different build

Whirling Slash got hit, Whirling Assault is the same

[static plinth]

This is still a 0.2 build though, though i dont believe those skills changed massively Acolyte got an almost full rework

[quiet forge]

acolyte is much weaker without ES leech

[hidden siren]

oh yeah

ur build isnt dead

i saw whirl

and what the other guy said

u can do ur build

[mental briar]

Someone at GGG was like, this build is too much fun lets make some bs up and call it a bug to nerf it before season end

[hidden siren]

im still using it

[proud flume]

I'm havin' fun with Galvanic shards and shockburst, but I'm thinking of theory crafting something with these - just need a way to constantly ignite myself

[hidden siren]

theres a support gem for that i believe

[silent glade]

as the person responsible for getting it patched, I can assure you it was most definitely a bug. all skills with a significant amount of built-in target-agnostic movement have this behaviour where they move a shorter distance the faster your attack speed gets. it's there precisely to mitigate this case where you're just spamming a skill to move faster than running. regardless of your feelings about zooming, I think we can all agree that spamming a damage skill with a little hop in it to move is kinda goofy, awkward gameplay and not something that the game should be incentivising. same reason why we've been very careful to prevent dodge roll spam from being faster than running (though with sprint being in the game we don't have to balance dodge roll distance so tightly anymore0.

whirling slash did have it in 0.2, but that scaling down was unintentionally bypassed by the code additions in 0.3 that allowed it to pathfind around small obstacles.

it's definitely true that I was very keen to get it fixed ASAP though, because every day the bug was present was another day more people would start using it and more people who would be disrupted when we fixed it.

[broken nexus]

does "remnants have increased effect" have any impact on the new infusions?

[silent glade]

no

[broken nexus]

thanks, didn't think so since they just get absorbed to buff cast but...you never know lol

[hidden siren]

having to use another spirit gem bc charge profusion II is bugged feels bad

[brave otter]

i feel like my character is extremely weak for the gear i have is there anyone that can help me out? im a deadeye ranger

[raven siren]

Anyone know whats wrong with this ascendancy?

doesnt do anything currently

[silent glade]

it does work, but there's a bug preventing it from displaying

[raven siren]

ok, I was like I lost tooltip damage when I swapped and then saw crit damage not changing at all

[raven siren]

also I def agree it needed a nerf but with the triple charge being a needed requirement to cast, the gameplay loop feels extremely clunky now with having to run cast 3x stand in place and cast twister, also its annoying watching people in move speed boots just running past you now when the whirling slash is part of the requirements of a combo 🙁 can we at least get max scaling on par with endgame boots

[cyan rivet]

is giant's blood even worth it anymore? the 50% decrease in str to health bonus seems like a crazy downside

feel like id be better off with just a nice 1-hander

cuz i know enemy defenses don't scale nearly as hard as their damage so it seems like after a certain point higher defense outweighs higher DPS, at least for me as a melee warrior

[sour basin]

struggling with inconsistant damage even in t1 yellow maps any tips to improve my damage? fire/fire infusion self made build and my plan was to focus crit/ES nodes with rest of my points

https://pobb.in/LWgmij9Fjegf

[viral sage]

u guys prepared another elemental dmg as backup for class like monk and ranger? to counter enemies with high res against ur main dmg

[feral zinc]

Is it true that for Darkness Enthroned there is no difference between 84% and 99% increased effect of socketed items when using a Talisman of Ralakesh? I saw it mentioned on a build guild. I couldnt verify it on pob and i aint spending like 10+ div to find out. im guessing since it rounds down?

[proud trout]

For Abyssal Lich's Apparition of Kulemak passive, what bonuses does the copied spell get? Does it have the support gems effect? I don't think it gets passive tree effects because a copid fire spell wasn't purple when I had blaclflame cov on

[somber pendant]

Would wither magnitude on my character affect wither my minions apply?

[surreal saddle]

does anyone have a link to best atlas skill tree pathing?

[atomic halo]

no

[amber lark]

anyone have a ice sorc build ?

[honest grail]

btw Viper you were 100% right about warrior still being left in an OP state. I feel pretty much unkillable in 99% of maps and I'm oneshotting every max difficulty pinnacle boss lol

[cyan rivet]

can somebody please explain to me specifically how to counter these giant squid abyssal rares? they are the utterly fucking me every time i run into them

[honest grail]

gonna see nebuloch reworked to not work with shield skills next league probably

[woven depot]

hardly need to crit to one shot with shield wall

[cyan rivet]

i genuinely don't understand what to do vs these guys, can somebody please tell me their damage type so i can sink all of my defenses into that

like i can't even just run away, they just teleport on top of me

i am at a complete loss and am tempted to quit the season altogether because this is so infuriating

the only thing i can think of is to just respec deep into energy shield because i have no idea what else to do

[arctic raft]

what kind of damage numbers do you guys look for in Poe 2 POB? what is comfortable enough to do all content for you? In poe 1 POB I generally like to get close to 20m dps to feel comfy but poe 2 is so different I feel lost in POB. I want to cook up a bleed amazon but unsure how I should scale it or what numbers to look for. Any help would be appreciated

[cyan rivet]

idk what the sweatiest of meta builds do but i think monster health in poe2 doesn't scale nearly as hard with map tiers

[elfin nymph]

Hey. Complete and utter newb to the whole jrpg genre, ive been playing for a while and just being clueless, trying to get better now.

Is a Stormweaver Triple Herald build viable? And if so what is some solid early game advice for Sorc?

[honest grail]

I'd like to see a 22mil non crit shield wall oneshot

[honest grail]

pinnacles got nerfed a lot in 0.3, honestly for bosses you can do all endgame content comfortably on 1-2mil effective dps

[light dew]

when does forge hammer actually aftershock?

on landing? or on detonating?

[summer pasture]

Pretty sure they do chaos and fire

[summer pasture]

Should be able to aftershock at either point

Pretty sure the fissures act like volcanic fissures

[midnight geode]

guys if i get the first node, do i also get the 60% dmg increase from the 2nd one?

[light dew]

i havent gotten a single aftershock on landing

but fissures pulse once sometimes

[cyan rivet]

ive stacked both and still get obliterated

either that or they have like crazy fire and chaos pen or something

[covert fossil]

pls dont delete pings so we dont think we're going insane ty

[summer pasture]

Not sure on the initial slam but the fissures need be hit with a different slam

My b

[cyan rivet]

stack attack speed on a slam totem and let it thump the fissure

[light dew]

doing that yes

just was wondering since i saw one build running aftershock on it

for some reason

goal is to get atleast 2 totems to spam the dmg

[pine lily]

Hey, I'm very new to game. Is there any witch build that uses the hollow palm keystone. I want to play a build like my old stat stacking gemling legionnaire with lightning/cold quarterstaff stuff. But I like the witch character so I have one already levelled. Bored or ED/Contagion though. Anyone smart enough at this game to help me?

[light dew]

there is a fun looking lich xbow build, not sure about hollow palm tho, just another idea for you

ps: does require an unique

[summer pasture]

Look up a build on YouTube or go to mobalytics

[pine lily]

Seen that xbow build. Looked awesome but I only just got done with act4 so I don't have anything like the currency for that. I think the Bow is like 300 exalts

[pine lily]

Checked YouTube and found nothing. Closest I got was a ritualist. But obviously not ideal as a witch

Mobalytics same story. Though I'm not sure I'm using search correctly

[summer pasture]

I believe zizaran just put a out a later game hollow palm build

[woeful cliff]

Anyone have any tips for building combo for skills faster?

[serene flower]

in a guide i use it says "Set your Grenades to tree 1 and Explosive and rapid to tree 2. Make sure you check the box on top of your weapon to lock them both into place so you can use 1 weapon with 2 trees" my question: why exactly would i need to skill 2 different trees if i use 1 weapon anyway?

[carmine flicker]

one for boss, one for clear I guess

[serene flower]

do i use the same weapon in the second slot? i don't get it at all tbh

[summer pasture]

You do, so you get weapon passive points that can be used on one weapon set aka spec into grenades for weapon set 1 then spec for projectile damage for weapon set 2

[serene flower]

i see. so basically i could not skill everything normally at the same time since it would be double the points i would need

[sullen forge]

yo, anyone know of anything else that scales with life besides Beira's, Bloodbarrier and Rathpith (pronounced with a lisp)?

[summer pasture]

No it's the same amount of points just used on 2 weapon sets, you get 20 weapon specialization points that can be used differently on each weapon set

[pulsar scarab]

Does Riven Armour increase bleed damage? It doesnt seem like it does since it effects "hits". I dont understand why shock would increase bleed but things like riven armor, breaking armor, or the vaulting impact buff do nothing. Seems like jank.

[serene flower]

i think i get it now. i could not put up points in all the grenades trees + in all the explosive shot trees at the same time (would be 40 points) that's why i use 20 for grenaded (but no explosive shot) for weapon 1 and 20 for explosive shot (but no grenade) for weapon 2 🤔

[summer pasture]

You only have 20 weapon passive points, weapon set 1 - 20 points into grenades l
Weapon set 2 - same 20 points but put into explosive shot stuff

It allows you to make on set good with one skill and the other good at another skill

[serene flower]

thank you for the explanation

[frozen lion]

efficiency on demon form reduces the blood drain per demonflame ? or is it unrelated?

[light dew]

24*

[summer pasture]

Thank you couldn't remember how many you got knew it was around 20

[hexed breach]

anyone know what this means on PoB?

[vivid laurel]

does %+ to freeze build up effect summons on frost mages?

[cyan rivet]

ok ive capped my res AND armor to ele so if this don't work then I GIVE UP

[proud trout]

Increase/reduction in believe

[hexed breach]

any idea how I increase those numbers? I'm trying to compare to another PoB but cant figure out what would increase my number

here's the PoB I'm trying to compare to

[proud trout]

No i don't use PoB. I raw dog my builds

[hexed breach]

we have the same 4 sources for dmg and I even have higher by a small amount

but his multi is higher and I'm trying to figure out why or how to raise mine

[summer pasture]

You are most likely scaling a little bit of phys damage when you should only be scaling chaos damage through untyped damage increase or chaos damage increase

[dark peak]

So, as a ranger, I was thinking of using a Gemini bow for my clearing weapons and switching to a Voltaxic Rift.

Does switching between weapons actually work properly other than graphically?

If I start with my Gemini bow and then switch to voltaxic I see myself change but I still fire 3 arrows instead of dropping down to 2. I think some of the damage effects might be swapping?

[drifting cedar]

now that totems use your weapon, can you use this weapon on swap to aggravate ignites?

just put like bleeding IV on shockwave totem or w/e

my usecase for this would be a bleed + ignite plasma blast bloodmage using three dragons to let the lightning damage ignite

[errant wyvern]

Hey guys, is there a way to put slots in special group skills like Time Freeze?

[halcyon solar]

i suppose this is the thing, where you|| jump in the well like in the trailer?||

[grim forge]

Do you have to be playing ||witch|| to unlock ||abyssal lich||? Or do you get it from || jumping in the well|| regardless of class

[arctic raft]

appreciate the reply. Ill aim for that

[carmine flicker]

Witch
And you must be lich already

And why so many damn spoilers

[dry timber]

Guys, does the support gem "rakiata's flow" makes that much difference? deadeye lightning arrow - already have great bow and quiver

[honest grail]

it turns 75% resistance to your elemental damage on most pinnacle bosses into 75% more damage

which is also a different more multiplier to other sources of %more damage

[dry timber]

so... not that useful for mapping?

[pliant edge]

Mapping is easy

Bossing is where you wanna stack dmg

[broken nexus]

besides support gems and deadeye, is there a way to get additional projectiles with spears?

[leaden ravine]

Whats the best warrior build?

[pastel knoll]

can i use an against the darkness jewel as well as a heart of the well diamond at the same time?

[daring veldt]

What are somee of the good builds this league which is basically 1 button beside lightning arrow?

and won't need super high investments for it to work

[hexed breach]

anyone a PoB knower in here that can help me out in a voice?

[hexed breach]

basically what was going on. Needed more proj/bow nodes for str8 dmg. Phys helps a bit too.

I got someone a div if they can help me w/ this PoB issue

[summer pasture]

If your converting damage, only the base damage matters for conversion, any increases to damage don't apply. So any increases to phys don't do anything

[alpine basin]

Lots of variations of fissure/slam that are doing well. As well as totems or a combo of the two 🤷‍♂️

[summer pasture]

Have a buddy running volcanic fissures and totems as a warbringer using the spirits node

He's doing great

[alpine basin]

I dropped volcanic fissures recently and do way more damage now and clear faster. Fissures care about the VF damage, whereas i can scale EQ AoE, Duration and attack speed at the cost of damage, and just scale the totems damage, as the shockwaves created from jagged ground hit HARD.

I just use forge hammer on bosses for the fissures, it does more than VF anyways.

Clearing is just walk towards mobs, drop 1-2 totems, EQ once, pack dies. Repeat.

It’s smooth

[bronze ermine]

would anyone be willing to kind of help me tweak my build. Some T15s I just breeze through, but some I just end up getting about 1/2 way through and then getting one shotted. I got lucky with a headhunter drop the other day and I've been playing around with it, but willing to sell it if it makes sense to do so rather than keeping it.

https://pobb.in/ZyOEM8ovK0is

[alpine basin]

shield and weapon are cooked. and several pieces of gear need more (or any) life. that would probably help the most

[bronze ermine]

I'm using the 2hander, I don't even use the 1hander/shield anymore. I've been looking for life on my gear as I can, but don't have the currency for it unless I do sell the headhunter

[alpine basin]

some of the skill points could definitely get moved around for better use as well in my opinion

[bronze ermine]

if I ever get the 4th ascendancy I'm planning on doing the +15% max life one on the titan tree

[sleek depot]

I want to make a build that uses HH, Temporalis, and Palm of the Dreamer
I considered EC/Contagion; however, there's no real use for Temporalis
Is something like this feasable? Or should I just disregard Temporalis given it's limited use-cases

(The temporalis is -1.99 and 3os)

[alpine basin]

so, i think recoup is too slow to keep you alive. thos 2 nodes could go into damage or getting the stun threshold max life nodes.

also unforgiving is a decent notable, but you waste 3 points getting to it. i'd drop those 4 points as well

the grim band sapphire would be an easy upgrade for something with life

those gloves are dope though, low life or not. i need me some like that

[bronze ermine]

yeah, I think I lucky sniped them for like 2 or 3 div at one point.

[alpine basin]

try to hit 3k life. it's a game changer for sure

[bronze ermine]

I don't know what I would put those points that I would take out into other than more armor. Any advice there?

[chilly isle]

would a flicker strike build be better with gemling or monk?

[alpine basin]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/pob/dj8by0q8

i would make these changes.

you'd need to drop that break armour noteable, but i would think it'd be more effective to use a specific skill for that anyways (that's what i do) it'd give you more reliable uptime on scavenged plates, and these changes effectively make you stun immune, give more armour and life

also would suggest poking around and finding a way to utilize the weapon swap passives. You can use the same weapon for both sets, and set one up to, just as an example, swap for one skill to specialize in breaking armour, with all the bonuses to that, and then your dps skills you have a bunch of extra points for more damage

[bronze ermine]

yeah, lately I've just been using leap slam for both clear and stun build up. it's about the only "safe" option with hundreds of monsters at a time. I can look at doing those, definitely going to go for the 3% max life node, and I definitely don't need all those +STR nodes specifically any more since i can't use giants blood without another 150 str

[alpine basin]

i just think relying on stun to build up armor break on bosses/rares is probably slow and dangerous since it means you lose out on the 40% more armour from scavenged plating for much of the fight

[bronze ermine]

it was fine pretty much untill I got my first 4 boss points in atlas. I'd basically throw the hammer, warcry, then either leapslam or rolling slam and they'd be stunned. Now it takes a bit more, and you're probably right

[craggy plank]

when i look at this, does the "increased physical damage" from the Socekts apply to the base bow settings?

[stark kettle]

So are Cast on Elemental Ailments, Cast on Crit, and Mana Remnants not considered spells? They aren't getting my +skills from my wand

[pastel knoll]

can i use an against the darkness jewel as well as a heart of the well diamond or from nothing at the same time? or is it 1 and done?

[fleet swift]

can someone tell me the difference between MH Inc. Crit Chance and MH Crit Chance on PoB, im new to the program and was curious

[quartz wolf]

does culling strike life leech? or does it not count as like a damaging hit

[abstract mortar]

how exactly this 2-20% inc dmg works? is it a stack or what?

[ivory hound]

Does anyone have that neat reflect build that was going around? Looking for a guide on it

[viral stirrup]

Hi everyone, i am playing blackflame fireball / ember fusilade which has already great damage.

Is there any beast mode can help me scale up the damage ? Like ignites everyone in presence etc.

[viral sage]

any1 tested ritualist ritual sacrifice? do u often get good monster mod?

[uncut bay]

do Goratga's build

[viral stirrup]

Thx , i’ve seen it already but he doesn’t use ember fusilade which hits so hard for bosses. I’d like to get ideas then twist them into my liking. I got enough spirit to get a beast to boost me

Also he’s build expensive

Especially the unique jewel

[alpine basin]

it stacks, but you need a way to consume the broken armour, and honestly, the buff from fully breaking armour ends up being better overall.

that being said, doesn't hurt to use it as a straight replacement to armour demolisher for 2% increased damage hahaha

[uncut bay]

it doesn't matter what spell you are using as long as it's not incinerate or flameblast, the undying hate bloodletting rathpit combo is broken rn

[thin thunder]

Does anyone know if something was changed with Impending Doom in the latest patch or last few? I haven't played in a bit, started up an ID build with Despair (Cursed Ground - ID - Spell Echo) and I cannot get ID to work. Anyone able to help? Maybe I'm missing something?

[wild nimbus]

anyone knows of a way to get endurance charges with frenzy and power ?

[dire cave]

resonance keystone

or are you trying to get all three?

[near timber]

can minions trigger any of the witch hunter ascendancy nodes? culling, decimating strike or trigger the corpse explosion?

[dire cave]

I dont think so but I havent tested it

[tender pecan]

So am I just stupid or Is conductivity just worse elemental weakness.
Also how would I use my 170 spirit on my invoker. Im playing falling thunder and Storm wave

[dire cave]

conductivity no longer exists

[neat radish]

can herald of thunder proc weapon set 2 skill nodes?

[stark kettle]

Does anyone know if this can crit?

[haughty gazelle]

Does anyone know if the "Defend against Hits as though you had 1% more Armour per 1% current Energy Shield" of the Mutable Star armor applies before or after the hit? (I assume before)

[dire cave]

description says it cannot crit

[stark kettle]

I am very stoned and apparently blind as hell. Thank you T.T

[dire cave]

no problem

[tender pecan]

Oh oopsie

[minor tree]

what ways are there to make mana costs increase massively, without channeling (or else mana tempest would do it)?

i'm thinking of using scold's (mana cost taken as hit) for a recoup shenanigan, which mean i'll have infinite mana as long as i keep spending it

archmage adds a %mana cost, i could double it with eldrich battery but i want to keep energy shield to double dip my life recoup through sacrosanctum

there is mana flare but idk if scold's works with it and it has a cooldown

mind of the council is another 9% max mana but i can't equip it alongside scold's, same with indigon
i'd need a hearbound loop or fireflower setup instead

[left vortex]

any bonestorm witch guides out there?

[wild nimbus]

exactly

is it possible ?

i just want stable generation

[dire cave]

that will be hard but best bet would be combat frenzy, profane ritual and magma barrier

[wild nimbus]

magma barrier ok will look into it

cf and pr are working great just didn't know how to generate the endurance

[frank violet]

Can anyone tell me if darkness enthoned socketed items have 50-100% inc effect is local to it or global for all sockets?

Assume it's probably local, but then it seems pretty underwhelming for the most part

[frozen knot]

If you do phys dmg then armour break 3

[proud chasm]

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

What can i change for more damage?

[minor tree]

does anyone know if recoup works with ignite (grinning immolation) ?

[mental briar]

this is only damage and not crit chance right?

[fleet blaze]

does chain not work with skeletal archers

[dawn spire]

yes, and specifically "increased spell damage" and "reduced spell damage"

[dawn spire]

it should work. Do they already have a support gem that modifies their projectiles?

[fleet blaze]

rapid fire II i think

attack speed

[dawn spire]

that shouldn't lock you out of chain

[fleet blaze]

oh well doing arsonists now

[dawn spire]

was the gem just not socketable in them? Or did you notice it not chaining when it was socketed?

[fleet blaze]

it was socketable just not chaining

[mental briar]

Damn is this even good

It sounds pretty weak

[grizzled mortar]

would spamming orb of storms > arc if mana was no issue?

[frosty finch]

hello guys, what support gem should I use on falling thunder ?

for the last slot

[mental briar]

is this taken before any "increased spell damage"

[dawn spire]

If you're doing an attack build on the north side of the tree I could see it having value

[dawn spire]

it's multiplicative with the sum of all increases and reductions to spell damage, but that will NOT give you any attack damage, as it is not increased/reduced

[mental briar]

I see, good to know thanks

I wish there was one that was the other way round attack to spell

[oak relic]

for LA deadeye on my bow i want flat physical and percentage physical and lightning damage to attacks right as the 3 main stats?

[mental briar]

this wouldnt apply right? since its critical and not just pure spell

actualyl I can just test it on POB if its supported

is there any reason why it does not show the skill hit damage here?

[frozen knot]

do you have a mace equiped?

[mental briar]

yh

oh nvm found out

for some reason it was on weapon set 2 even tho nothing was there

and thats why it showed no damage

[mental briar]

Seems crown of eyes is not on POB unfortunately

[gaunt mortar]

it isnt and it makes me sad lmao

[frozen knot]

just craft it in PoB

[hasty gust]

Can anyone smarter than me check my build real quick and give me a pointer if possible? https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/profile/0c1d747f-3ad9-47fd-8e32-f8959f541c63/builds/15fc9c3d-6d66-40c0-9826-046cf78e0600

[mental briar]

It probably would just not be supported cos of the "increases and reductions" line

[frozen knot]

it seems to work for me 🤔

haven't checked if the values are correct tho

[candid hollow]

this is so confusing. I see people basically freezing monsters with temp chains+chill

[copper ivy]

If my wand have gain extra fire damage, will my spark deal extra fire damage without the fire infused or need the fire infuse to deal the extra damage?

[haughty gazelle]

you will have fire damage, but you will not gain the damage/etc benefits of infusions

[timid aurora]

Best bossing DPS build for mace warrior ?

[bold oxide]

shield wall is very strong. there are a lot of guides/videos out there on it

forge hammer as well

[mental briar]

Is there any info on how different increased damages scale

Like for example increased damage from one handed mace I assume is in the default "increased damage" but how does that scale with "increased spell" and "increased attack" are they all additive

[hollow galleon]

by who?

[muted umbra]

How do builds that eventually switch to MoM make the transition? What do you run beforehand to make up for the squishiness? Is it just ES with an eventual big respec to MoM?

[haughty gazelle]

yes, all are additive. Increased damage taken is something else though, same as exposure/penetration, etc

[pearl sluice]

i just covered this in a minion channel heres the text dump

[candid hollow]

all increases on player side are additive

[pearl sluice]

The reason for that is Diminishing Returns. Damage modifiers of the same group (e.g. Shock + Wither) are additive with each other. For example having two sources of 80% increased damage causes your 1.000 DPS Skill to deal 1.000*(1+0.8+0.8)=2600 damage instead of 1.000*(1+0.8)*(1+0.8)=3.240. The only exception to this are sources of #% more Damage which are always multiplicative with each other.

[candid hollow]

all increases on monster side are also additive, but increases on player side and increases on monster side are multiplicative with each other

[mental briar]

Ty found a nice damage guide on maxroll explaining difference between increased, more, gain and flat damage modifiers

[candid hollow]

increases on monster side are things like shock, yoke of suffering

[pearl sluice]

hitrate imo is extremely strong and not well understood by players

consdidering that it goes to the end of everything after all other mods happen is insanely good

[hollow galleon]

wither too, which is one reason why ppl like chaos dmg

[mental briar]

Im trying to make a build I saw last season that got made redundant this season where you (removal of low life helm) Thunder gods wrath to proc on a single hit

So just tryna figure out the best way to increase that single hit

Bit confused about the wording of the skill where it mentions modified by percentage of enemy's ailments threshold

Like is threshold just tied directly to enemy health?

[hollow galleon]

i guess it depends on the enemy? might have to look at the database...also i think some waystones modify ailment threshold right

[candid hollow]

tied directly to enemy health, but the formula is different for uniques (and rares I think)

[bold oxide]

here is one. there are a lot more if you just search poe2 shield wall on youtube

https://old.reddit.com/r/pathofexile2builds/comments/1nb6ldn/ultimate_shieldmaster_build_guide_poe_2_03_smith/ ⛉ Ultimate Shieldmaster Build Guide ⛉ PoE 2 0.3 Smith of Kitava ⛉ Super Tanky Oneshot Machine ⛉ : pathofexile2builds

[mental briar]

Like I made the build but am only generating like 20% of the energy the guy in the video was, I assume just because way less damage since they had 450% increased damage from low life modifiers alone

[hollow galleon]

13 million damage sounds clickbaity

[bold oxide]

word

[hollow galleon]

yeah I never tried the low life build...but there are a bunch of good nodes in the tree with multiplicative dmg

[mental briar]

I was tempted to try the surrounded build then saw how many divines it cost😂

[mystic venture]

How good is the ice nova frostbolt build ?

[carmine flicker]

need cold infusion or damage won't be there

[dawn spire]

I haven't done it myself, but I would get some %damage taken from mana before life on the tree until I have a full set of mana gear to swap into

[cerulean current]

https://poe.ninja/poe2/builds/abyss/character/9un0-2155/YES_Huntress?i=11&search=skills%3DLightning%2BSpear

can someone explain why ppl are running guiding palm? its not giving added flat dmg to my understanding cus you dont count as an ally

is it just the shrine buff?

[fleet blaze]

hi friends. im starting a reap blood witch which will be mostly melee. do i want stun/ailment/mana regen for this?

[unreal canopy]

Is Poison Damage = Chaos Damage?

[near jewel]

guys, I saw a few guides by P4wnyhof and he has a poison pathfinder i wanted to try but how the hell do u get the unique in SSF? ..... Palguefinger Gloves....its all rng.....

[unreal canopy]

Exactly, it's RNG, you answered it yourself

[near jewel]

but he boasts doable in SSF and then - his starter guide sports the damn gloves 🙁

so ssf PROVIDED u have found all the stuff on other ssf specs?

xbow tactician viable for ssf?

[weak shard]

Can any experts help me understand archmage? Spesfically, is there any reason why NOT to fill it up with support gems? Does it make it cost more mana to cast spells or anything?

[hidden siren]

stun

always pick stun

[fleet blaze]

ty

[fervent dock]

What the hell does this even mean

[honest ingot]

whats the 5 link for these spectres?

[craggy ice]

how do I get subterfuge mask on my amulet?

[analog wren]

where can I find some info on huntress

[static torrent]

It will modify the passives within the radius based on the seed (the number) and the name, in this case Tecrod. There might be more specifics on the wiki.

[static torrent]

What kind of info do you want? Also, when you say Huntress, are you referring to her ascendancy classes, the Spear weapon type, or builds that people commonly play on the class?

[analog wren]

i would prefer to use the regular bow but im not sure how i should be building midway act 2

[craggy ice]

does anyone know. how do I instill it and what do I need to instill it with?

[static torrent]

You can check on the passive tree, hold Alt while hovering over the passive and it should show the 3 Liquid Emotions (a Delirium drop) you need for it.

[analog wren]

I also wouldn't mind making twisters work but all I read on it is that its borderline useless now

[craggy ice]

oh okay thanks!

[static torrent]

As for how to instil it, just obtain the 3 you need and right click on one of them to open up the UI to do so.

[craggy ice]

okay great tyvm

[static torrent]

You can definitely get through campaign with them, but past that, I'm not familiar with typical levelling strategies, I'm afraid.

[analog wren]

do you have information on bow by chance with the huntress? I haven't picked an ascendency yet but its coming

[static torrent]

As I said, unfortunately not. My typical approach to levelling a character is just grabbing the skills I want to use as early as possible, but there's certainly way more efficient ways to go about it (especially in cases where the build only takes off after a certain point).

[vernal hemlock]

why are guides on maxroll for instance recommend rapid casting 1 instead of rapid casting 2? or blind 1 instead of blind 2?

[fleet blaze]

that 65 means the item lvl must be 65 before it can appear right?

[static torrent]

Could be that they're outdated and from 0.2 or prior.

[vernal hemlock]

ok so generally pick the highest supports then?

[static torrent]

Be sure to check the stats on them, some of the highest ones have different effects that aren't just pure upgrades.

Like Rapid Casting II is 20% increased cast speed, Rapid Casting III is 10% increased cast speed for each different Spell you've cast in the last 8 seconds.

If you're using a lot of different Spells, III would be better, but otherwise II would be a safer pick.

[vernal hemlock]

ok clear... so rapid attack 1 is 15% add attack speed and rapid att 2 is 25% so rapid 2 all the way

[fast glen]

would this node let me scale strikes with AoE for attacks?

[vernal hemlock]

I find it a bit confusing tbh haha

[hidden siren]

anyone using burning inscription support gem in a socketed curse with blasphemy spirit gem?

[unreal canopy]

Is there something like a ring or some passive node that can convert Lightning Damage into Fire Damage? and Make Shock into Ignite?

Or like use a call of the brotherhood(?) ring to convert the lightning -> cold and from cold to fire

[timid aurora]

Best class for galvanic shards ? Witch hintr ?

[frozen knot]

Witch hunter or Deadeye

[mystic venture]

but is that a problem?

[lone citrus]

I was wondering the same i think ronrayy or FGkorbyn has best monk build but theirs guide are hard to understand but zaior has easy to follow build but the weakest

[carmine flicker]

maintaining infusions takes investment

ones that doesn't go into damage or tankiness

[normal torrent]

What are the reccomended builds for deadeye? Just got to maps

[timid aurora]

Is it cheap or one of those steamer god builds

Looked cool on YouTube but then I saw his gear just now

[frozen lion]

you cant ever get to 100% armour right? whats the highest anyone has gotten?

[raven heron]

Hello friends.... if im doing Lightning Thorns damage... and I take the Lightning Damage is lucky node... Will they work together???

[willow lotus]

can some1 help me with what i can change here ? https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/Kalizy-4138/character/Klaizy
had better weapon for lightning spear instead of the bow so i am using this currently

[mental briar]

You can see in the ingame info tab for each gem

It should show if it scales or not

[mental briar]

Also lich works at high level because it doesnt sacrifice life

[fast glen]

wow i just assumed strikes wouldn't be aoes but look at that, every mace skill is an aoe

now that makes sense and also makes the tribal fury node less interesting to me considering i'm scaling aoe elsewhere

here's a better question maybe: why does the compressed duration skill gem not reduce the amount of time between magma barrier procs in the gem info but it's a recommended support

[hidden siren]

blood mage

[timid aurora]

Damn seems like blood mage is best at everything

[hidden siren]

galv shards bleed

[mental briar]

Not all strikes are aoes

[hidden siren]

its blood mage

[mental briar]

For example spear skills are not aoes dor the most part

[hidden siren]

its the current strongest build/class atm

[timid aurora]

Lame

[hidden siren]

if u want to handicap urself u can always go witch hunter lol

[molten birch]

Is Tactician 200% more or 200% increased when it's calculating armour

Because 53k is more and 27k is the increased

[atomic halo]

Defend with 200% of Armour

this line?

[molten birch]

Ye

[atomic halo]

it's double, which is equivalent to 100% more

but if you have other modifiers of % chance to defend with 200% of armour, it will add with that

[north thistle]

would a proc on something like hearld of ash count as a skill with this support?

[molten birch]

So the defend with 200% armour against crits, that would just be 400%

So it's additive

[atomic halo]

no, it would just be 200%

because it's already 200%

[slender rivet]

Does "% of damage taken from mana before life" work if you are CI?
like will it then take from mana before energy shield?

[atomic halo]

like, it's a binary yes/no defend with 200% or not defend 200%

[molten birch]

So having the 200% against crits is actually doing jack all because I have the 200% from Tact

[atomic halo]

that's how i read it, yes

but tbh im not 100% sure

[molten birch]

Sooo either
A. I have like, 80k vs crits in game
B. I have 40k vs all hits and the crit node isn't doing anything

Makes sense

Honestly that sounds pretty PoE to me

[timid aurora]

Does tactician have a build that BM isn't better at?

[hidden siren]

what support is that

[atomic halo]

this is based off of my understanding that 50% chance to defend with 200% + 50% to defend with 200% = 100%, which is additive (and not checking 50% twice)

so "defend with 200% of armour" is actually "100% chance to defend with 200% of armour"

so doubling up is just "200% chance to defend with 200% of armour" which is the same as 100% chance

[north thistle]

rising tempest

[molten birch]

Wouldn't do anything and it's a dead node.

[ripe river]

guys what beast do you recommend to tame for haste aura? boar from act 3 keeps charging toward enemy and my haste aura buff would be gone lol or is there a way to keep haste aura without chasing the summon

[north thistle]

im noticing herald skills dont proc trinity, so it probly doesnt proc tempest either

[hidden siren]

short answer no lol

blood mage is the strongest class for basically every weapon i think

[red tartan]

Is there a sure way people are getting bow attacks with 2 additional arrows? On there bows

[molten birch]

Now would be a great time for an "Ask the devs" channel specifically for something like this
Because they know the math way better than we do since they have the code in front of them

[hidden siren]

except for bow

deadeye has bow down

[molten birch]

Thanks. I'll make sure to let you through the end of the map next time I see you

[mental briar]

Blood mage unarmed surely cant be that good😂

[hidden siren]

its not monk has that down

[rustic arrow]

so iam playing gas grenade pf atm, seeeing as the gear for bleed bloodmage is pretty similiar
would that be a wortwhile change

is it better or worse?

[eternal laurel]

Hi, I have a specific question about totems and affixes that synergise. I have a couple of specific questions:

• Do affixes that state "Companions deal X inc damage" affect totems? I.e.: are totems companions or not? I know they're supposed to be "Allies", but the lingo gets confusing.
• Are grenades (I'm using mortar cannon) considered an "Attack"? I don't think it is, but wanted to confirm
• Do "Damage with hits" affixes work for grenade/mortar setups, or not really?
  I tried looking for concrete info, it's my first time playing the archetype and it's not super straightforward

[rustic arrow]

no companions are companion

totems are totems

yes grenades are attacks

[mystic venture]

https://www.poe-vault.com/poe2/sorceress/stormweaver/sorceress-ice-nova-leveling-build?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=XKFW8E0zPK0#33-blood-mage-witch

[eternal laurel]

Well, totems are also allies. If only it were as straightforward as you are implying.

[rustic arrow]

and yes unless you talk about gas its hitting

[mystic venture]

Can I follow this guide to lvl as witch too? Or should I lvl with something else and swap

[rustic arrow]

totems are totem, but sometimes they are you and then sometimes they are neither

pretty eassy

😄

[dawn spire]

Hold alt and click on keywords like companion, ally, totem, etc. It should clear things up

[eternal laurel]

Yeah it's what I've been doing, but I must admit I did not check the tooltip for companion. I think I understand what a companion is now yeah

[dawn spire]

All minions, totems and companions are allies.

All companions are minions

Totems are separate

[hidden siren]

how much dps do u think is fine for t15s

[dawn spire]

What are you using to measure dps?

[rustic arrow]

when shit dies before you do

[dawn spire]

We have fuck all to accurately measure dps in poe2

[rustic arrow]

see my reply

accurate af

[hidden siren]

i mean u could do a pure defensive build but tickle bosses

100k dps should be ok to do everything right

[dawn spire]

I mean, that allows for the possibility of hitting white mobs for 10 minutes and killing them without dying.

[eternal laurel]

Thx, that makes a lot of sense actually when you put it like that. Allies is a generic group naming then that GGG use.

[dawn spire]

I would say, "When you kill stuff quickly enough to make you happy"

[dawn spire]

Yeah basically anything that fights on your side that isn't you is an ally. Party members are also allies

[dawn spire]

How are you measuring this 100k dps?

[hidden siren]

poeninja

[rustic arrow]

thats fake news

[hidden siren]

its not completely accurate since pob is lacking a lot

[rustic arrow]

poe ninja is missing many factors

[hidden siren]

ik

[rustic arrow]

or even overestimates your dmg

[hidden siren]

its still better than the ingame one tho

[rustic arrow]

just go by vibes

[hidden siren]

stuff blows up

[rustic arrow]

untill we have something to put a number to

[hidden siren]

just need bosses to blow up faster

[dawn spire]

I mean, picking an arbitrary dps number via poeninja is basically going with vibes, but worse.

Poeninja doesn't factor in debuffs, situational buffs, using skills in conjunction, weapon swapping, etc

So unless you only care about holding down one button without any other factors, poeninja isn't going to be reliable for dps numbers

I would say aim to boost your damage in ways you know will work based on your build. Do some napkin math, maybe try using pob2, but so much theorycrafting right now is vibe-based

[unreal canopy]

I bought a From Nothing Diamond with "Avatar of Fire" - is it normal that Im not able to directly allocate it? I wanted to try a Fire-Arrow Ranger but I cant seem to convert my dmg to fire

[inland plinth]

As far as DPS calculating goes POB says my hollow palm monk does like 50k DPS but I melt everything nearly instantly so it’s kind of a meme

From nothing lets you allocate everything around the node

[rustic arrow]

you can allocate aaound it

nothing says on it that you can allocate the keystone itself

[unreal canopy]

but I cant directly allocate it? But there is also no way to anoint it, there is no other diamond to directly allocate avatar of fire, so basically the only way is to completly do a rtrded passive skill tree?

[dawn spire]

Yeah it works the same in poe1. You can allocate nodes in a radius around the keystone but not the keystone itself

[inland plinth]

Yes

You have to path to it

[rustic arrow]

unless there is a uniq that gives oyu that you need to path there

[unreal canopy]

🤡 what did i do

[rustic arrow]

idk

[rustic arrow]

if you spent a hefty penny on that jewel, you did yourself a lesson

[mental briar]

If I had gain 11% of damage as chaos and gain 15% of damage as fire damage, but I have original sin so it will end up being elemental conversion to chaos will that gain be treated as 26% or will they be multiplicative with each other?

[unreal canopy]

It was 1 ex so I couldnt care less

[indigo pilot]

it's going for 3ex now

you made a profit

[inland plinth]

Gains

[dawn spire]

If you have 100 base damage you'd deal 111 chaos and 15 fire. Conversion happens at the same time as "gain as"

[mental briar]

So even with original sin it would do fire damage?

[dawn spire]

Ie, you can never convert damage you gain

[mental briar]

I see good to know maybe I can apply ignites that way

[jagged pawn]

why can't i socket spell echo into lightning warp ggg D: it says it supports AoE spell skills!

[mental briar]

So for this rune there's the alternative I could use gain 13% as chaos damage, this would technically be better since its 15%? Or does that 13% scale with increased chaos damage modifiers?

[dawn spire]

Damage only scales with its final form. Ie, if you convert or gain damage as chaos, it scales with chaos modifiers

Regardless of what it was before

[mental briar]

Thanks for the help

Just wondering what would be more damage for the build overall

[molten birch]

Yea you're probably thinking about PoE 1 where I'm 90% sure it does work the way you're wanting it to

[glacial bone]

Which Witch ascendancy is best for miniom build?

[jagged pawn]

Inferanlist if you want the free minion or have some idea of how you want to use Demon Form. Personally I much prefer Lich. Lich has Necromantic Conduit which is disgusting for high spirit minion build. Also you have the option of Mind Over Matter with Lich (Soulless Form + Eternal Life). If you don't want Mind Over Matter, Lich also gets Eldritch Empowerment (sacrifice ES for 30% more damage, self only) or Repture the Soul (33% of corpses go boom for 25% of their max health) + Incessant Cacophany (can apply +1 curse to enemies + curses have infinite duration).

Lich is fun.

[marsh oracle]

whats best for hollowpalm (build) any chance for a acolyte or invoker+ice or invoker+light are much better? whats the order?

[lapis condor]

what am I missing when doing the abyssal lich ascendency? i beat all four bosses and gave the ring back but didnt get an option to select the new ascendency

[glacial bone]

Ohh that's good to hear because I ascended Lich last week but I wasn't sure what to do with her since I didn't like EDC. What other cool builds are there because I'm mostly seeing EDC stuff

[carmine flicker]

did you defeat boss after giving ring?

[lapis condor]

yea

[carmine flicker]

also what's your current ascendancy?

[lapis condor]

Lich

[carmine flicker]

there should be altar at right side of the thrones

[lapis condor]

I was in a group, I started the party

[carmine flicker]

try doing it solo?

[lapis condor]

No, i can't kill the final guy 🙁

[willow lotus]

which stats should i get for the bows ? i was using lightning spear cause my bow luck was horrid and didnt get anything good

[carmine flicker]

I can help, but idk if it will work

( I mean I can kill 100%, but idk if you will get choice)

[lapis condor]

worth the try, i have an invitation for you

also does it matter the choices you pick when you steal the power?

[carmine flicker]

matter for ring modes

that it

[lapis condor]

ok

[carmine flicker]

PMed you IGN

[jagged pawn]

Well Lich plays best with Chaos damage, so it's hard to beat EDC. Especially since curses complement Chaos builds best. If you want to avoid all the damage nodes on Lich, you could go Eternal Life + Eldrich Empowerment and mana stack with Mind Over Matter + life stack with Soulless Form. You'd be super chonky this way once geared up for it.

Alternatively consider ditching the minions and playing a Blood Mage. 🙂

The real problem with not liking EDC is that Lich damaging notables mostly do Chaos damage, and I'm not aware of a great way to play a Chaos build without using EDC + curses. You'd want a Chaos build for Lich so you can really squeez the juice out of the whatever damage notable(s) you want there.

[glacial bone]

What about the blackflame build? Is that suitable for Lich?

[minor tree]

please does anyone know if 2x blood of the warrior would work with waistgate heavy belt?

i worry one's active effect would replace the other

[jagged pawn]

Hmmm yeah that could work out. But odds are it would be better with Blood Mage.

[minor tree]

im planning a cheeky regen bloodmage using the life flask node to turn healing into damage

[hazy bane]

Is anyone aware what happens in following scenario: Weapon swap 2 has a totem that is shooting grenades and has 0% increased damage on tree. Weapon swap 1 has 300% increased damage on skill tree and is shooting those grenades so they explode.

Do you benefit from 300% inc damage?

[jagged pawn]

It's really tough to crunch the numbers but there's a decent chance that keeping crit chance around 80% could maximize damage through the use of nodes that increase damage for a time when you deal a non-critical hit.

The tradeoff of this is that + crit damage nodes only help when you crit, so any hits that aren't crits get no benefit from those nodes.

[simple flame]

hi guys, does iron reflexes apply after evasion increases or before evasion increases?

[glacial bone]

How come?

[mental briar]

I think abyssal lich is also minion focused although idk much about that

[glacial bone]

What's abyssal lich?

[jagged pawn]

Mostly because it's real hard to argue with Life Remnants and crazy crit chance + damage. 🙂

[mental briar]

Some new ascendancy you can get on lich which changes some nodes

Idk how to get it but ik it exists

[jagged pawn]

Ah yes I forgot about Abysscal Lich. I have absolutely no idea how that one performs as I'm not familiar with it heh.

[tight burrow]

How does Toxic Domain works? I tried it but there's no pustules attaching to enemy

[jagged pawn]

As a Lich you have the option to jump into the Well of Souls and emerge as an Abyssal Lich. To do so, defeat Abyssal bosses until you obtain Kulemak's Invitation. Take that to the Well of Souls and hop in.

[errant wyvern]

If I have the same curse on manual cast and blasphemy, the manual cast will always override the effects of the blasphemy, right?
I just want an aura curse for regular mapping, then drop the big curse against rares and bosses

[glacial bone]

Is that a new ascendancy or?

[jagged pawn]

Steward of Kulemak replaces Price of Power, Unwilling Offering replaces Blackened Heart, and Umbral Well replaces Necromantic Conduit.

[jagged pawn]

Yes it's new.

[midnight geode]

does "increased critical hit chance" apply on spells u use with cast on crit, or does it have to be "increased critical hit chance for spells"?

[glacial bone]

And when you say do abyss, you mean ones found in campaign maps or only endgame?

[jagged pawn]

Abyssal Lich doesn't appear to be minion focused though. It USES mininons, but it mostly does so by consuming them.

[jagged pawn]

Any map, though I believe it has to be one of the holes you jump into. Not sure about that.

[glacial bone]

Ohh thanks for the info, I'll look into it

[mental briar]

Are there any other ways to reduce enemy ailment threshold apart from overwhelming presence?

[bronze coral]

anyone know why im not generating power charges via resonance and combat frenzy? im freezing enemies but no charges

[static plinth]

Explosion node also changes from chaos to phys damage

[dawn spire]

Neither. When you convert evasion to armour, that armour is not affected in any way by modifiers to evasion

Aside from local modifiers that contribute to your base evasion pre-conversion

[sullen jolt]

If I cast ice wall and switch weapon set, will the explosion of the ice wall deal damage based on my current weapon set skill tree, or the one i had when I initially cast it?

[dawn spire]

What supports are on combat frenzy?

[bronze coral]

just charge profusion

[hidden siren]

combat frenzy is bugged for me too

i only generate frenzy if i use that profusion 2 gem

did u quality ur combat gem @bronze coral

[bronze coral]

nope

[rotund tangle]

Does Anyone know if this has a cooldown or not?

[bronze coral]

why would that make a difference

[hidden siren]

i was wondering what is triggering it

[mental briar]

Does dual wielding take the average damage for both weapons combined. I see on POB that it shows this but for a skill like forge hammer does that mean one use it uses MainHand and next use it uses OH alternating every other?

[hidden siren]

bc i have to use profane ritual to generate power charges

bc i cant from combat frenzy

[mental briar]

Its only 1 ex so could test it out but from what it says it doesnt sound like it

[elfin sequoia]

yo i have a question, essence of delirium it can add a random notable to body armor, can armors with two different notables be successfully recombinated togehter

[hidden siren]

the profusion bug has been reported on the forums

[molten birch]

Has anyone tested to see if Stay Light, Use Cover is even working?

[hexed breach]

anyone else have poeninja not showing a ton of builds and only going to lvl 97-100?

[dusky wadi]

why do alot of builds show people taking alot of companion skills with no companion?

[abstract grove]

anyone know how to make pob use the proper weapon set for my skill? it's incorrectly assigning hotg to ws1 when it's on ws2

[jovial sentinel]

Guis any Kinetic Blast build ( Occultist online) ?

i have a issue with mapping tier 16 i cant iven step inside im dead all the time maybe i do something wrong with my build

https://pobb.in/42bKTzAi-Ad2

[tender pecan]

hey guys playing lightning invoker and was wonmdering whats tzhe best way to get powercharges?

[static plinth]

How is HoWA in current patch?

[fast skiff]

There's only two real options, if you have some method of freezing or you go electrocute instead of shock, you can get Combat Frenzy aura and get a free frenzy charge every 8ish seconds that way and then use Resonance node to turn that into a power charge, or you take Lingering Illusion and when you dodge roll to i-frame through a boss attack you get a power charge that way but requires you to be actively dodging attacks that would have hit you

[mental briar]

Is there anything in game to guarantee a critical, I think inevitable critical or ambush sound like they do but on POB theyre just increased and more modifiers so wont do much unless I have high crit already

[fast skiff]

seems like a great alternative to thunderfists at 0.01x the price

Hello i am new to poe 2 and wanted to play a witch with minions ( some necromancer type) is there an ingame ascendancy for that? i heared that you have to follow a build otherwise you are screwed later.

[fast skiff]

you can play lich or infernalist, both work pretty good

[cold willow]

what is the difference between them?

[fast skiff]

that's the thing, a lot of the mechanical functions of the two are kinda similar, they both have kind of a mix of boosts to minions, granting damage to allies (including minions), and sacrificing something for more damage output, and they both have systems that make them more tanky

so basically pick based on vibes and whether you like blue/green or red more lol

oh okay thank you 😄

I have a 75 infernalist playing the ant spectre build, but I dont like it, does anybody has good options for an alternative build?

[carmine flicker]

do you want minion? or self cast? or..?

[tidal birch]

Not minions, they get stuck, dont move and in my opinion are to spirit dependend to feel good

[carmine flicker]

well
inferno is most spirit heavy class, but ok
