[carmine flicker]

elemental spells feel bad imo, those infusions are too much bother

so really you can go chaos lich, you can go bonestorm..

[tidal birch]

Ed contagion only, if I dont find anything else interesting, because I already played that last leauge

[carmine flicker]

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

[rain dust]

Is there any builds that use ice tipped arrows?

[carmine flicker]

try my guide, it was impossible last league and it's stupidly tanky

[rain dust]

Or is it just too much of a shitty skill?

[carmine flicker]

(xesth lol-facetank etc)

[tidal birch]

why is your char that slow?

[carmine flicker]

cause my boots doesn't have move speed

[rain dust]

I just dont understand why they would make the skill only support barrageable skills but then only have the effect proc on the first hit

[carmine flicker]

I didn't have money for better ones at the time

easy to fix with any move speed boots

[rain dust]

Wait

Twister is barrageable

And a projectile.

[fast wind]

Yea

[rain dust]

I wonder if I use ice tipped arrows it will proc the effect if I use whirlwind or whatever to make several copies of it

[fast wind]

Lots of twisters fun sweeps away trash

Im doing that but using frost locus with a quarter staff for the chill ground since it drops it inside the whirlwind

[rain dust]

But does the ice tipped arrows work on it?

Do all of the twisters do the ice crystal thing on hit

[hidden siren]

projectiles

[hidden siren]

yes but its kinda lame

[karmic pine]

Does this stack? If I grab the passive that makes my amulet affect minions instead of me, does that mean they all get that stacking?

[hybrid needle]

What buffs would i want on the offhand sigil of power staff?
Im not sure which stats will vuff the sigil and persist when i switch back to my regular swap

[wraith pecan]

any fresh ssf reroll build suggestions thats not deadeye la or ed contagion

[inland plinth]

Warrior is actually a really good option for SSF because making a 2 handed high phys weapon is hilariously easy

[bronze canopy]

Are there any good fire or ice builds atm? I dont like the lightning effects in poe2

[tidal furnace]

Hey can anyone help me, I'm trying to figure out which skills can shotgun for a build idea.

[celest oxide]

Should I sell white heavy belts or chance them?

[short schooner]

Could any1 recommend a good build? Been playing Iceshot deadeye but time to play a new 1.

[static plinth]

It doesnt stack

I believe it does stack between multiple players but not with Necromantic Talisman

[hollow tide]

Hear me out:
Winnowing Flame +
Pragmatism + Beira's Anguish + Bijouborne for big ignites
Then stack life.
How bad is this idea

[hidden siren]

galv shards?

[hollow tide]

It seems to me as the only way to use that god damn staff skill

[karmic pine]

Thanks! Any recommendation for a talisman? I might opt to skip the keynode in favor of more spirit from modifiers because I just love more minions.

[static plinth]

Honestly until they add stronger unique amulets i dont think its worth. The additional spirit from just having an amulet is better

[karmic pine]

Yeah that's fair, thanks 🙂

[nimble hound]

how do i change ascenedency?

[muted umbra]

Does Decaying Hex still not work with Blasphemy as of 0.3? Want to check before I cut a jewel lol

[somber pendant]

I’m at +126% wither magnitude, y’all know where I can get more?

[nimble hound]

i have no clue how to chane ascendeny im lvl 50

should ir eroll

[golden violet]

any good builds/guides on how to build lich for ssfhc?

[somber pendant]

To change ascendancy you have to do a trial of the level of ascendancy you possess

Make sure you have the gold to respec before you start

[nimble hound]

i just did

he offered zero option to respec

im going to just wait for next season i dont have energy to reroll atm 😄

[somber pendant]

Did you interact with the altar

[nimble hound]

it was uninteractable

[somber pendant]

How many ascendancy points are available to you

[nimble hound]

4

[somber pendant]

Idk then, maybe google has the answer

[nimble hound]

oof, pre alpha blues

[mental briar]

Tried to recreate a build that used the deepest crown but cant now and now I see how op that item was😭

The build doesnt even have 30% of its original potential

[hoary mountain]

lv 83 lich, crafted those, what should I change first?

Wand -> no chaos dmg
Focus -> no cast speed

[mental briar]

How much chaos damage you getting from nodes

Iirc there's like at least 100% easy chaos damage from one node cluster

[wintry knoll]

does any stat on gear increase unholy might damage

[mental briar]

Really late but ive tried several builds and fine tuning to try make forge hammer lightning work, with mjolner but forge hammer just works super weirdly

Like the fissures explosion is cool and all but forge hammer being 8s cd on explosion it cant be the main part of the build ever and only really a side part

And then I tried just with the hammer throw and retrieve with mjolner cast on melee - lightning spell but it doesnt do enough damage to make it work

[cedar aspen]

Dumb question but can someone explain to me the difference between Increased, More, and Extra when it comes to the verbage on the passive tree please?

[barren wyvern]

Hey all. Anyone tryed Vaal Pact ? Is it worth it ?

[mental briar]

Maxroll has a nice page explaining it

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/getting-started/damage-scaling

[proud nest]

has there been any tech for fire spells clear discovered? Ive been doing fusillade + firestorm. fusillade for single target is great, but firestorm clears like garbage

[nimble hound]

For Mortar Build on WB, would it be beneficial to put up a sunder after broken armor so my mortars do more dmg? What other ways can I boost dmg that make sense for my turrets.

[barren wyvern]

Fusillade is good both for single target and clear garbage. Mod it to shoot 8 balls in circle

[tidal furnace]

Does bonestorm Shotgun?

[proud nest]

Ehhh, the only way to make cler and not scream is the 1 click setup. multi proj + unleash. And that kills the single target. is there a different setup? I'm doing wildshard - compressed - considered- fork

[cedar aspen]

Perfect thanks

[west wharf]

anyone know how this guy gets 16 rage per infernal cry?
when i look at like warbringers and titans using infernal cry they get 8 per

[safe shore]

Anyone has any good idea for supports for https://pathofexile2.wiki.fextralife.com/Berserk?

I have perma 56 rage, might as well buff the hell out of them

[lean canyon]

hey, thanks for the answer! From what I managed to dig up, forge hammer throw cant really be a good lightning ability cuz it has a low conversion rate into fire damage and in poe 2 u cant convert a damage twice so I stopped there because I didnt understand how u would make it scale well with lightning dmg

[mental briar]

Yh unless there was an Avatar of Fire node like for lightning it would be impossible

[lean canyon]

kinda sad because it would have looked cool to have a thor like build

but maybe with the templar we might have something...(?)

[broken nexus]

For Caltrops, it says "Increases and Reduction in Thorns Damage apply to Hit Damage with this skill" Does this mean it gets flat thorn damage added from something like the stat on belt or that it benefits from increase % thorns damage nodes on the passive tree?

[mental briar]

yh just gotta wait for a new class tbh for anything remotely possible

does this mean immunity to bleed and poison?

[summer pasture]

Passive tree

[broken nexus]

thanks!

[light dew]

why does overwhelm with its 40% modifier increase(1st pic) less dps compared to a claw skill (25% atk dmg increase, 2nd pic)?

[summer pasture]

Attack speed reduction is why

[light dew]

would my damage be increased more if I only use hammer for fissure?

as in atk speed doesnt matter there

[summer pasture]

Hotg or forge Hammer?

[light dew]

forge hammer

drop it, explode it and trigger waves with totems for dmg

should be more increase with overwhelm right?

[summer pasture]

That's how fissures work the best imo

Should be yeah

[worldly bluff]

whats the best warrior build

[light dew]

bc im thinking of what i want in my megalomaniac

[summer pasture]

It will be bigger hits but show less dps since to your going for aftershocks it seems

[light dew]

overwhelm seems to be the best choice imo

[summer pasture]

Not really a best one, you have options

[light dew]

for fissure hits, if they count as aftershocks

[worldly bluff]

can u tell me the ones that are good

[light dew]

fissure warrior

all i know xd

[summer pasture]

Hitting fissures with totems causes aftershocks which is just fissure damage again

[summer pasture]

There is a shield wall build, fissure spam and thorns

[worldly bluff]

where can i find the said builds

[summer pasture]

@honest grail you got the link to your build?

Mobalytics should have the thorns and maybe jekos build

As for fissure stuff not sure

[worldly bluff]

it has fissure asw ty

so mostly the best builds are on warbringer right?

[light dew]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Utg9x5UhTjo

fissure stuff

[worldly bluff]

is fissure the best would u say

[light dew]

im using my own brew tho

its fun and requires a good pc bc of the procs

tbh

might be unable to play endgame abyss content bc of the stuff on screen
if your pc is too weak

[worldly bluff]

i cant really find the shield wall build anyone have the link to taht

[honest grail]

https://youtu.be/R5GKSzV6A5A?si=jSDXKeuIc2KZ46gg

[loud trench]

WHich one for lightning arrow build. Shock or energy shield.. THe thing is im playing hardcore.. does the shock help a lot?

[worldly bluff]

yo jeko where u from if u dont mind me asking

[summer pasture]

No it seems to be split between the three

[light dew]

shock 100%

you are playing evasion no?

[honest grail]

UK

[light dew]

you are wasting half that slot on thorns damage afterall

[loud trench]

I have 4k energy shield its hard core

[light dew]

i guess then the es is better

[loud trench]

you cant play evasion alone on hardcore unless you have a mental disorder and want to die

ok but is the shock magnitude like VERY useful

cuz I think im tanky enough

definitely dps is just as important as tankyness in hardcore

[light dew]

evasion + deflection + tailwind seems strong, then again i havent played it yet

[light dew]

it is 2% more lightning damage

in general

[loud trench]

so 13% magnitude is a 2% dps increase?

[light dew]

base shock is 20% so 13% of that

is 2.6% more, not sure if they round up or not

[loud trench]

lmao

thats ass

ok ima get the es

ty

[light dew]

do you think this is worth it for the 75% bonus fire dmg gained? in shield slot

[flat star]

Is there a Timeless Jewel tool thing to show what the seeds do to the tree?

[loud trench]

is blind common to be caused by enemies?

[summer pasture]

It's not extra iirc it replaces your damage with fire damage

[light dew]

ah sry its this:

[static plinth]

Its only 50% if you dont have + max

[light dew]

im a warbringer with the ascend node

[static plinth]

But also yeah really good shield

[light dew]

makes my blocks worse tho

so im not sure yet

[static plinth]

If you have 0 other as Extra and youre primarily scaling fire its a 75% more damage shield which is insane

Even on the low end its still like 25% more

[summer pasture]

It is actually extra damage

Are you running vitality support on a aura and font of blood on totems?

Cause that alone should allow you to run the 75 node

[light dew]

not font of blood yet

bc its phys only

but i took the convert everything to fire node

[summer pasture]

Did you swap to avatar?

Not sure that applies to totems

Totems are their own entities

[static plinth]

It does apply to totems

[summer pasture]

Really? Interesting

[static plinth]

Theyre proxies, not minions

Aka something that uses your skill (ie it has all your stats applied to it)

[light dew]

yea they only deal fire

if i have this avatar is probably giga worth

since they just gain so much more bonus dmg from being pure fire

am also running this

broken armour just for the extra dmg buff it gives

am nearly instantly breaking their armor aswell

, one thing i need to figure out is how to keep myself alive tho

without relying on flasks

vitality + cannibalism

for mapping

both boss fights im not sure

[mental briar]

The block taking 20% of damage took me off guard in sekhemas

I just lost like 100 honour in seconds cos so many mobs hit me

I was fully prepared to block it all lol then forgot

[mental briar]

This support gem costs like 25 divs xD

Everyone wants it

Not sure why though I feel like curses are super easy and cheap to use

[visual grove]

Any cool "warpy" builds atm ik flicker got gutted. I just enjoy the "warp everywhere" playstyle

[light dew]

ye, xd, just hoping and coping

[scarlet stream]

Guys how do I force low life on the Ed/Lich build? when I try to lifetap incinerate it doesnt work because of ES

[static plinth]

You have to wear the eldritch battery helmet, drain your life, then put on your normal helmet

[scarlet stream]

Ohhhh right

thanks man

[mental briar]

Can you get 4 sockets on body armour/3 sockets on One Hand Weapons?

I see its possible in POB so wondering is it just like the one in million vaals that can do so?

[lunar surge]

can you spectre act 4 enemies?

[potent storm]

Hey guys I was wondering if I could get some help, I got an idea of what I want to do, but unsure where to go from there. I was thinking tri elemental caster, probably stormweaver, grabbing all the way to shaper of storms. I planned to use infusions for flame wall, and a cold DPS main skill. Eventually a COA Snap, Trinity if I could get things balanced. Was thinking maybe ld go crit too but was unsure how well that would work. Was curious if anyone was willing to give me some pointers on where to go.

[fast wind]

I like the idea

Triple element is kinda hard to build around atm but can be done

Mostly taking elemental damage nodes may help

Gonna be a lot of rolling the keyboard

[potent storm]

Oh do you happen to know if the second shock you get off stormweaver also supplies inc damage? Was thinking about that earlier and was wondering. Cause that seems kinda strong if you get enough lightning mag.

I'll prolly yolo it and hope for the best haha

[light dew]

just made 11 div bc of a lucky gem drop which i have no use for,

almost got one xd

[carmine flicker]

or.. you take those triple convert gloves

[mental briar]

and the runes that add elemental damage

can get at least 4 socketed in for 20% gained elemental

[light dew]

a fun idea would also be a wild magic caster

that just shoots random spells all the time

with this one and the other cast on effects

maybe worth to incorporate into your tri elemental build

casting fire balls and arcs the entire time

[carmine flicker]

anyway, there is no reason for all that button mashing for tri-ele

[light dew]

^make everything be triggered so you only have to cast setup

[potent storm]

I do have those gloves which is what sparked the idea lol

[carmine flicker]

you need to manually press invocation like spellslinger, no?

[light dew]

closed the game just now, not sure tbh

[potent storm]

I just wasn't sure if they were worth in the endgame though.

[potent storm]

Didnt know this at the time.

[carmine flicker]

better than bothering with 4 buttons on regular clear for sure)

I play most braindead one button build possible and clearing this atlas is too much work already

not a single damn citadel found

[bronze canopy]

Are there any good fire builds or Ice builds on any characters?

[carmine flicker]

fire isn't in good place tbh, still

[bronze canopy]

unlucky 🙁 see u next patch

what about ice

i see deadeye ice arrow builds looks ok

just dont like snipe or the LA leveling path we've been doing it since launch lmao

[carmine flicker]

cold.. ok, but still worse than lightning

LA >> ice arrow

[bronze canopy]

damn, warrior has some new fire stuff tho wonder how good that is

prob earthshatter stun leveling into some of that new stuff with the fissures

[pulsar scarab]

If I wanted to mess around with bleed what's the best ascendency right now? Or is bleed kind of in an awful spot rn?

[carmine flicker]

blood mage

blood mage still remove things from existence with bleed

[pulsar scarab]

Even if I decided to do ssf?

Only reason I ask is because I know spells can be reaaaaally weak if you dont get gem levels on all your equipment

[carmine flicker]

idk about ssf, sorry

[tidal furnace]

Does boneshatter shotgun?

[carmine flicker]

kinda. if you have many enemies in it close to each other

oh, boneshatter? no

[tidal furnace]

lol I typed the wrong thing but we understood eachother

[carmine flicker]

yeah

[tidal furnace]

hmm so vs bosses theres no shotgunning

[carmine flicker]

probably no

unless all my knowledge are wrong ofc

[tidal furnace]

all good wrong knowledge is better than no knowledge and i've been googling for hours

it's either pull the trigger on this idea or quit

[carmine flicker]

quit league you mean?

[tidal furnace]

yeah, that's usually how it goes for me with poe2

[carmine flicker]

nothing excites you or why?

[tidal furnace]

yeah the builds just don't do it for me usually. too limited

[carmine flicker]

limited in what way?

[gleaming bison]

why do i only have 4 weapon set points with 6 skill points

[tidal furnace]

mechanics and lack of build enabling unique options, there's the stand out skills but everything feels on rails to me

the devs are working on it but at this stage it just doesn't scratch the same itch as poe1 for me

[carmine flicker]

well, no
I enabled really unintended build myself, like infinite tankiness shit

but yeah, POE1 is better

like zero competition there

(ok, finite tankiness, but I doubt anything in the game deal that much damage, except those no_recovery abyss shit)

[scarlet stream]

What are the best jewel mods for crystalline phylactery? I assume faster start of ES and Max ES..

[carmine flicker]

depends on build
but max ES is there, yeah

like I have curse AOE, ES and cast speed

[scarlet stream]

ED contagion

[tidal furnace]

yeah theress things that exist but, like skill wise, everything feels kinda railroaded, I made a sorc around league start to play with infusuins and it works but those are still restricted in how you can use them

[carmine flicker]

elemental skills are shit, IMO

good thing doedre's undoing support was good enough to actually be interesting

[tidal furnace]

wanna use snap, well it's got a CD and is dependent on ailments or frostbolts . better off just doing ball lightning lightning warp which is again a very railroaded you play ias we command playstyle

it feels very paint by numbers but you can pick the colors is the only way I can describe it

could easily open it up by allowing nova skills or some other skill tag to be cast on Ball skills and call lightnign orb and frostbolt ball skills. which would open up inovation

or not lightning orb but ball lightning

[carmine flicker]

in POE1 there no skill interaction almost

tbh I prefer it that way, I don't want to farm for 5 hours doing same 3 button combos

[tidal furnace]

yeah for sure but when the forced interaction becomes a hinderance to build diverisity is where it becomes a problem to me

yeah and the combo system is cool, except some skills just don't need a combo you just blast 1 button and destroy the game

[carmine flicker]

yeah, POE2 is full of get/spend and apply/discharge shit that work mostly in a few pre-defined ways

[carmine flicker]

I'm glad those exist or POE2 would be unplayable

[tidal furnace]

comparison is the thief of joy and all that but id rather full freedom to find failure than forced functionality

[carmine flicker]

combo system is.. ok? I guess?
until it's basically forced

[jagged lion]

Hi, I'm doing a chronomancer build with essence drain and I was on pob trying to figure out the best wand to use, on pob "gain as extra damage" doesn't add any dot to essence drain while it does in game.. am I understanding something wrong ?

[carmine flicker]

POB isn't reliable source tbh

[tidal furnace]

yeah its fine but the only way it works is if no none combo's exist that outperform it

[jagged lion]

then what is reliable ?

[carmine flicker]

well, game is more reliable than pob at the moment

[jagged lion]

that is very not nice :(

[scarlet stream]

Extra damage as doesnt add damage to dots.

[broken nexus]

has anyone seen any good builds using hazards as a major component? i can't quite figure out how to make them work or if its even possible to make them work

[carmine flicker]

then combo become more or less forced cause losing 2/3 of your damage is never an option

[scarlet stream]

\

[static plinth]

Damage as extra doesnt add to the DoT, only the hit portion of ED

Which is worthless

[jagged lion]

Actually, It's entirely my fault I wasn't looking at the dot dmg when I checked in game, totally my bad x))

[tidal furnace]

exactly so people will generally just go with 1 skill builds and play that game instead

unless they enjoy the feeling of multibuttom gameplay to accomplish the same thing

[valid bolt]

guys i want a build that has a good clearing low mid budget

[carmine flicker]

Multi button combos and multi-hour grind sessions does not work together at all, sorry

One can enjoy combos for 30 minutes, not for nonstop 6 hours heavy grind

[tidal furnace]

oh of course not. Im hoping they figure it out and playing so I don't have to eat the whole turkey in one sitting if they do, but i'll 100% be on POE 1 every league as well as my guild. I can't say the same about poe 2

[carmine flicker]

Tbh I enjoyed 0.3 as much as average poe1 league
But only cause I play basically poe1 build

Tanky one button aoe destroyer

[nimble hound]

Does this count as Mortar? i see the top mortar wb using it,

[cinder river]

Can anyone let me know what the strongest monk build is for this season? Somethign that can do all the highest tier content

[carmine flicker]

I doubt it
They add more and more mandatory combos, not removing them

[naive mason]

can you use skills like sniper's mark etc. on cast on dodge?

if so, does it just pick a random enemy?

[livid flume]

Does 'A Solid Plan' (50% less reservation of persistent buffs) work with Ancestral Bond?

[nimble hound]

does +3 to projectile skills include my mortar cannons grenades

[hidden siren]

does it have the projectile tag

[rugged kraken]

Does secrets of the orb Node improve the limit of frost orb by 1?

[wintry knoll]

does anyone know if getting stuff that increases chaos damage affects unholy might

[tidal furnace]

it should

[toxic hawk]

would you rather 45 cc with 450% cd or 99cc with 330% cd for spark

[carmine flicker]

Unholy might give chaos damage
Everything that buff chaos damage works

[carmine flicker]

Second ofc

[toxic hawk]

thanks!

[untold rock]

i'm trying to figure out a good way to freeze bosses on weapon swap. got projectile and quiver nodes that are for both trees

[rugged kraken]

perma frost bolts with crossbow escape shot with bow and wave of frost with qaurter staff swaps

freezing salvo also pretty much builds and then you drop it and it pretty much freezes anything

[untold rock]

might try freezing salvo again. any idea if less area would cause them to hit in a smaller area?

[rugged kraken]

maybe just more projectiles? Better maginitude of build up ect

escape shot has a super big freeze % on it

[carmine flicker]

You need to freeze boss or make it count as frozen?

[untold rock]

freeze for snipe

[carmine flicker]

Idk if frost mages active works for it

If it is it's easiest way

[untold rock]

i don't have any minion passives

[rugged kraken]

No they nerfed the frost mages they now cast a stupid frost shield that lasts 6 seconds in a small area

[carmine flicker]

Except that "stupid frost shield" makes enemy count as frozen for all effects

[carmine flicker]

You don't need any, really

[rugged kraken]

ah Ic the angle your going with. Im just doing a frost mage build right now and im kinda upset with the change vs what they used to do

[carmine flicker]

Idj, I liked their new active more
At least for spectre build, while I played it

It waz useful button from one mage I had for muster

[rugged kraken]

Im tyring like a caster build with frost mages and the brutes combo so im just focusing on freezing everything and its doing okay so far..

but its kinda slow

[brave otter]

Using lightning arrow with Elemental armament II, Lightning attunement, Defy II (although i do not have surrounded helmet), and nova projectiles, Are these the correct runes i should be using?

[carmine flicker]

Like I said many times I switched to doedre undoing build from minions
Feel great

[static plinth]

Swap out Defy for something else until you have the helmet

Innervate or Charged Shots 2

[brave otter]

whats something good to use instead?

kk ty

[carmine flicker]

It was reply to this

[brave otter]

i also have it on tornado shot, anything else i should use on it too?

[carmine flicker]

Still can't understand why stoicism support is tagged as attack, but can support comet

And is even listed as recommended

[brave otter]

@static plinth on tornado shot i have prolonged duration II, overabundance II, efficiency II, concentrated area, and defy II

and on lightning rod which I have rigwalds, elemental armament II, deliberation, lightning pen, and lastly stocism II

[rugged kraken]

this is good info to know thanks lol

do non-persistent minions snapshot weapon skill sets? mainly asking about mortar
Also, why cant i use a grenade skill with mirage archer?

[timid aurora]

Can't get mortar to do good DMG but I'm only 52

What's the trick, end game only?

[grim forge]

whats your gem setup for mortars? and how many do you have?

[timid aurora]

Three totems . My gems are cluster grenade and multi shot so far. I don't have the jewel things left to make more. It's real low dmg

Also takes a ton of mana.

[grim forge]

wait, only two? yeah you'd really want 3

and also, you should use explosive until you're endgame

[timid aurora]

They will 5x the DMG ? It's very behind my last build

I'll try explosive

[grim forge]

you need a lot of aoe to make cluster worth it

with enough aoe cluster grenade aoe overlaps so you can shotgun enemies with them

[timid aurora]

I see

How do I farm the command helmet

[grim forge]

im also lvl 53, so that i dont know

[timid aurora]

Everyone using constricting command , seems so OP.

But very expensive

I don't think any of the ascendancies are particularly unfriendly to beginners. Or at least I can't think of any which stand out as more or less friendly than the others.

[cyan plinth]

Warrior PSA: Take these 4 nodes to be tanky without the need for block/shields/svallin/giantsblood.

is fortifying cry cd reset bugged? its still on cd even if i use up an endurance charge

using earthshaker with the jagged ground support gem

[sacred pelican]

does Essence of Insanity work on Headhunter?

[lunar umbra]

Hi, I'm wondering what's better, I've got 2 bows for around 5 div that I could get, one has additional arrow and +4 attack skills, the other is higher pdps doesn't have an additional arrow and also has +4 attack skills.

Which is better? The additional arrow one is like a 13k increase in pob damage, where the non-additional arrow higher pdps comes out alot higher, like 20k more damage

[sly tinsel]

PoB is the best answer for this, especially if the items are on a player shop, you can copy paste the item to PoB and see damage difference before you even buy them

[lunar umbra]

Yeh I've checked and even put the damage difference above, but my point is , is it better to get an additional arrow, with a bit less DPS shown in pob? Or am I just purely going for the highest number - which is without additional arrow in my price range

[mental briar]

Does the unleash support gem (gaining a seal every 200% of cast time up to 2 seals) work with cast on triggers?

[sly tinsel]

if you copy paste the item, it should take account the additional arrow to you overall DPS

[lunar umbra]

yeah that's not the question mate lol

[sly tinsel]

is if you are loosing DPS, then maybe its bad no?

[lunar umbra]

I suppose the additional arrow, makes up for the loss in dps because it will clear quicker in packs? Right?

[sly tinsel]

Depends on the build i guess?

Like majority of bow build has the additional arrow bow as BiS

[lunar umbra]

yeh LA deadeye, think i've got 1 additional arrow without that bow, I suppose it's a question of clear speed vs single hit damage

yeah that's what i thought, i guess i need more money basically to get both things 😄

[dreamy bridge]

are there any skills or uniques that scale off number of minions including temporary ones like zombies? I searched and there's uniques that count undead minions (so it includes zombies) but can't find any that scale from ANY minion

[iron harbor]

Yeah the extra arrow is great for clear, but also for stacking rod faster on bosses, and that probably cannot be calculated by pob easily, there you just set a fixed amount of rods and it doesn't consider the ramp up time

[weary meadow]

For me additional arrow > all tho, cause with single arrow, I miss snipe a lot >.< , having 3 arrow feels way better than 1 most times , i play ice shot.

[lunar umbra]

interesting, cheers, what about bows with '50% reduced projectile range'? That seems like a bit of a shit stat, but the damage is higher on those ones for the price range

[weary meadow]

I have a gemini bow with +1 arrow in both stats , use fork in my ice shot and it pretty much 1 shots everything in a large cone before me

50% reduced range is kinda eh, cause you can't just throw ice shot in enemy direction outside of screen and everything dies xD

[lunar umbra]

yea i thought 50% reduced is pretty big innit, annoying they come with that stat

[weary meadow]

Yeah

Its not bad ... But just QOL for damage

[void osprey]

anyone know of any 1 button or even afk build for Simulacrums?

that are not insanely expensive

[weary meadow]

hmmm... Prolly not on deadeye

[lost mulch]

is there any way to make elemental weakeness effect higher level enemys?

[iron harbor]

I was using the less range bow during campaign and honestly it's not that bad, it still goes almost across the whole screen

[iron harbor]

Yes, the limit goes away at gem level 18. No other way

[lost mulch]

tysm i didnt know i had to level them to make it effect higher

[knotty elbow]

Is there any way to ignite, shock or freeze your own minions?

[mental briar]

Galv shards blood mage looked like it was 1 button build

[carmine flicker]

I wish..
Only use support that reflect shock they causes back to them

[dreamy bridge]

only freeze has a simple way to inflict. the others either there's no way or they need to be reflected which means they need to be able to proc that themselves

[sour basin]

is it possible to make mana drain hit more than 1 enemy per cast?

and outside of quality and skill level is there a way to bolster the amount of mana taken?

[kindred iris]

mornin everyone, trying to put together a blackflame demon form build

i wanted to ask if the node where life regens instead of ES, does that mean the energy shield stats apply to that as well?

[dreamy bridge]

unleash works but it's just +2 targets at most

[sour basin]

i have a mana pool currently of 1k and its sapping 300 per cast so thats ideal

why is siones temper prefered over wildshards 2?

[dreamy bridge]

if you mean Eternal Youth then energy shield recharge will still work and recharge stats will transfer, it'll just recharge life instead. it's only recharge, so things like increased ES will not transfer to life

[sour basin]

unleash doesnt fit into mana drain. im on about the wand basic skill

[dreamy bridge]

yeah ik. just the description on unleash support doesn't say it couldn't support mana drain

it works on profane ritual which is also a single target thing

[royal hamlet]

Two handed weapons damage doesn't not work with crossbows right ?

[dreamy bridge]

it works. just make sure it doesn't say two handed MELEE damage

[frozen knot]

it does work

[royal hamlet]

oh okkkk, well it should wokr then ;d

[craggy ice]

https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/codebam-5388/character/codeslam

can someone help me improve my build? I keep dying in t11s. next body armor upgrade is like 2 div so idk what to do

I usually die to physical

[pearl sluice]

cant help with monk nodes but you can get much better tiers of rolls on your boots and gloves for eshield and your helmet. thats rlly all theres left to do

notably 12k ehp against damage is quite low

which is what you sit at

[craggy ice]

okay I'll work on upgrading those. thanks

[pearl sluice]

granted i dont think poe2db calcs evasion into effect

[craggy ice]

I have 33% EV

[pearl sluice]

if you can afford it new abysal modifiers have +stat +%eshield on gear pieces so for example my vaal gloves have 550 eshield because the prefixs are +ehisled, +% eshield and +%eshield+mana

granted you need the other prefixs on those because youre a monk but aim for at least t2 on your eshield rolls

[craggy ice]

okay, thanks!

[fleet blaze]

does %area effect scale trample toe overkill radius?

[dire cave]

what is the best way to farm for a specific companion?

for example a quadrilla

[timid aurora]

Can someone help me salvage my play through. I thought mortar build looked fun turns out it needs stupid expensive gear but I'm now out of money to respec again

Now what

Reroll?

[dawn spire]

rerolling is a pretty common practice in poe

you can sell your gear and make a new char and zoom through the campaign

[timid aurora]

Campaign was a super slog but I guess now that I can use AH it's easier

[craggy ice]

you could use regular trade from act 2

[timid aurora]

Yeah that's annoying tbh

[dawn spire]

you can use regular trade from act 1

[craggy ice]

oh yeah. it's just level requirement for using currency

lv 20

[timid aurora]

What is a good cheap end game build but not lightning arrow

I'm too behind to do expensive builds now

Something that does not use constricting command

[wicked stone]

uing original sins + that support gem u get no extra damage ? how conversion work ?

[timid aurora]

Or is it just game over for someone who is still on campaign at this point

[craggy ice]

what is expensive? 20ex?

you can go through all of campaign with 1ex or less gear

[timid aurora]

I meant for end game

[craggy ice]

my gear cost like 110ex total if that means anything

[timid aurora]

Like cheap to start end game

Good easy build

[craggy ice]

for t11

is that cheap? idk? but it's monk, storm wave hollow palm

[pearl sluice]

lightning deadeye has tons of progression especially compared to other classes

and you dont need an extremely expensive kit for it to work if anything it works pretty well compared to almost anything else youd be building at the same price

[timid aurora]

Don't want any bow builds

I'll try hollow palm.

Are those lightning arc builds decent price ?

[craggy ice]

you need to use bow until level 23 for hollow palm... sorry

or at least, that's the general progression people do

[timid aurora]

O ok

That's fine I guess

[pearl sluice]

yeah unfortunatly for some setups you dont really get access to any real gear or skills until higher levels

so you have to twink on lightning bow

[timid aurora]

For caster is there any twink setup

I was also thinking Stormwesver Arc build

Unless it's super expensive end game

[pearl sluice]

sorceress is notoriously ridiculous to gear

[frozen knot]

"break 50% of armour on pinning an enemy" if i get break 100% increased armour my pins should always fully break them right?

[dawn spire]

idk, seems pretty easy to me :\

[shrewd sentinel]

for LA deadeye im starting to have money, which rune should i put on my crit-ish bow? (im crit path) , the 1-60 lightning damage rune or 18% physical rune?

[timid aurora]

Every end game build I want to try used constricting -5 helmet lol

I should have took off work barely had time to play now that's too hard to get

[pearl sluice]

what am i even looking at

[frozen knot]

bonk witch

[timid aurora]

I might wait for next season stuff is too expensive now

[clear sluice]

is there any known info about the shrine buffs from sceptres?
i wanna know what about them can scale

[tired hornet]

Poison Pathfinder here - works quite well but weak point is when the screen is really flooded with enemies (e.g. juiced breach), is there a way I can integrate some control (like slow or chill) to give me some breathing room?

[craggy ice]

if you wait a month gear will be cheaper probs

[timid aurora]

Wanted to do grenades but every of those used a super expensive helmet

YouTubers star video by saying it's budget build so that's confusing

Then showed a -5 constricting command

All of them

[craggy ice]

you mean the helmet that lights them on fire?

[timid aurora]

It makes surrounded 0 mobs

Every YouTuber uses for grenades but then says its beginner build.....

[craggy ice]

oh okay

[timid aurora]

It's 20 divines or some shit

[dawn spire]

technically it's an infernalist, not a sorc, but it's my slam ignite infernalist in the making

could also go blood mage and not ignite, but I wanna be spicy

[craggy ice]

you could always use the build without the helmet. my build calls for thunderfist but nahhh no thanks

[timid aurora]

Without helmet changes s lot of passives

They use surrounded nodes

[craggy ice]

oh okay

[void osprey]

tyty, ill check that out
sorry for the late reply

[modest ingot]

Do weapons that have "+% Increased Elemental Damage with Attacks" count said % in to the elemental DPS of the weapon (on the market) or not?

[candid hollow]

apparently the merging tooltip is completely inaccurate and it's not actually a single hit. this has so many implications for riven armour and impale

[candid hollow]

its a global mod

[modest ingot]

please explain to me like I am a baby

[candid hollow]

it has nothing to do with the weapon's dps

the weapon could be purely physical, you'll still benefit from it if your skill has conversion

[modest ingot]

ahh so I basically have to calculate that myself...

so like on the market a weapon with 400ele dps and a +150% ele damage with attacks would most likely do way more damage than a weapon with 500ele dps only?

[candid hollow]

usually yes, but this depends on how much % increased damage you already have. it's additive with all the increases you have on the tree and the rest of your gear

if you have only 200% increased damage, that means you're dealing 300% damage, and 150% increase would basically be 50% more damage

if you have 500% increased damage, you're going from 600 to 750, now it's 20% more damage

pob can calculate it all for u

[modest ingot]

hmmm I see, this makes upgrades way more trickier haha

I wish there was a more direct way of comparing, hovering over a weapon on the market, holding shift and it would show you your dps change with your attacks like passive skills show it

[candid hollow]

it's hard to make it accurate, because there are so many things that could change your dps on the fly

like if you're dealing more dmg vs a blinded/dazed monster

[teal dock]

What are the best minions rn?

[clear sluice]

a lot of people gravitate towards vaal guards and nettle ants

but spectres and undead skellie minions should be good enough to handle exploring while progressing

in 0.2 i ran a stack of orok throatcutters without issues. mostly had problems with proliferating melee minions for area clearing

[quiet forge]

is there a writeup on how much %increased critical you need to hit common breakpoints like 50-60-80% compared to the amount of base crit% you have?

[mental briar]

Its a simple formula, base critX(100+incCrit)X(100+More/LessCrit)/100

[quiet forge]

Well I can calc it in places like PoB too, but I'm trying to get a sense of how many nodes it'll take on the passive tree

[carmine flicker]

ants, gelid zealots, storm mages are all good
frost mages ok during lvling too

[mental briar]

The passive tree has almost no more/less crit modifiers so doing a simple search of increased and reduced crit chance should show whatever is near

[carmine flicker]

but in any minion build you will have every minion possible you can squeeze in cause muster exist, and now you can slot it in every minion too

[mental briar]

Theres a few base crit modifiers in tree but like only 1% or so

[teal dock]

Mmmmm... Muster

Thank you! I'm doing some esoteric Chaber Titan and was wanting to fill my ranks lol

[quiet forge]

yeah, thing is, if you take every node that's critical on my tree, you only end up with 25% critical hit chance

[rapid star]

you guys have any ideas on how to make lightning warp less agressive on the Eyes? xD

[quiet forge]

I wanted to know how much more it would need to get to 60% but I guess I should just make an excel calc

[carmine flicker]

that way you can load bunch of untility minions that all do ok damage
one shock slekeleton, one exposure skeleton(cold mage), one maim skeleton etc

[teal dock]

😎

[mental briar]

You playing hollow palm?

Because if so it will vary drastically cos of the armours

[quiet forge]

yep

[mental briar]

You should try look for more modifiers on support gems mainly, for example pinpoint critical is a straight x1.6 to final so it would make it 40% for you, if you also used for example ambush on full life enemies it would become 2x to make 80%

Hollow palm gets 0.1% base per 10 energy shield on armours

[quiet forge]

I wanted to at least get a high flat before I moved onto the mult step, things like ambush would be fine, could fit pinpoint too I guess, but my gems are all filled already and I don't necessarily rely on blue armor pieces

[mental briar]

So if you had base energy shield of like 1000 you'd get base 10% more which would mean all increase modifiers would scale off 15% base

(Assuming 5% base chance of skill)

So an increased of 200% and pinpoint would make a 15% base to like 72% with pinpoint critical 1.6x

Ofcourse to get to that stage your crit damage would tank a lot

[quiet forge]

yeah if I make some gear swaps, I can get to 13%, which lets me multiply into the 50s but getting beyond that is too expensive

[mental briar]

I think poe2 makes it very hard to get close to 100% crit

[clear sluice]

laughs in 100% crit

[mental briar]

Like anything above 50 seems good and Beyond that is expensive

[mental briar]

Depends what char too

Some have good base crit modifiers

[clear sluice]

abyssal lich and spell crit. im sure melee is harder?

[quiet forge]

Melee is a lot fucking harder because they balanced it such that only special weapons get to be 15% base crit

So for me I get to pay opportunity cost to get the same thing a cold mage gets innate, except my version is still worse

A lot of the huge multipliers here are only for full life foes too so it's mainly going to be a tool used for clear I guess

which wasn't really what I was intending for it

very close to subterfuge mask I guess

[mental briar]

If you just type critical hit on the tree almost all the nodes are top right to top left with almost none bottom left (warrior) side

Theres some at bottom but theyre all conditional ones

[sick zealot]

so im planning on making a wind/physical monk. Whats the best subclass for it? I'm seeing most people saying to go Chayula for the mana burn? But why? Is mana burn that good or something?

[quiet forge]

save yourself some headache and just go huntress

[sick zealot]

lol is it that bad? 🙁

[quiet forge]

@wraith palm

amazon is the elemental attack class, meaning it gets a lot of stuff that inherently synergises with things that quarterstaff likes to do, like elemental leech from life

[sick zealot]

ah that makes sense

[mental briar]

chayula has mana burn?

[sick zealot]

or mana leech or whatever lol

[mental briar]

I think that got reworked

It technically does but only chaos

not elemental

[vast egret]

best beast mods for deadeye?

[quiet forge]

yeah, no, this got removed

[sick zealot]

ahh yeah im looking at that now

[halcyon solar]

what are beast mods from your perspective?

[vast egret]

i have no idea what you mean, im just trying to get a beast with useful mods

[halcyon solar]

how can you not know what i mean, when i'm asking you what you are trying to say? lol

you are probably talking about companions

mostly it's 1. Haste Aura, 2. Temporabl Bubble, 3. Resitance Aura

[clear sluice]

Does anyone know if granted shrine effects from scepters scale?

[timid aurora]

Is hollow palm ritualist budget friendly for end game ?

I have only 2 divines

[vast egret]

tyvm

[rotund veldt]

Does the Unique Rarity Charm stack up if i use 3?

[teal dock]

Been doing Skeletal zerkers as filler but might do hammer skellies later to try em out too

[small anvil]

Any ideas for high dmg 1 hit for poison ability? I'm imagining shield charge from 0.2 type of hit. Single high damage 1 hit ability... can't think of anything good

[teal dock]

Original Sin Perfect Strike (kinda kidding but I would love to try it lol)

boneshatter could work if you prep a stun, leap slam is good

[torpid abyss]

Is there a way to see the dps of your own weapon? Want to compare it to trade weaps, but can't seem to find it

[golden violet]

Any build recommendations for ssfhc with Lich?

[royal hamlet]

mercenery question:
This should work with rapid shot right? But dps gets lower and I can't see any new projectiles. I just think I only shoots slower without new bullets

without gem and with gem

from my simple math
Dmg * 0.65 * 3 * (0.8) = 1.56 Dmg, so I should have 56% more dmg but i shoot monsters and its actually worse

[signal badge]

I just found out Unholy Might doesn't apply to DoT.
Does the Lich passive "Spells deal 30% more damage when sacrificing energy shield" apply to DoT?

[torpid abyss]

How can I get my build in path of building. Can't seem to do it like in poe 1?

[royal hamlet]

separate app, path of building 2

[torpid abyss]

Yea sorry i have that installed, but can't generate an url via the site like we did in poe 1

[atomic halo]

conversion doesnt work with damage over time

[frozen knot]

that dps doesn't seem to add the extra proj for some reason

[jaunty oak]

Just get an API token via the import dialog in PoB2 then you can just import your character directly

[royal hamlet]

dunno, mine seems working fine 🤔

https://pobb.in/HkxxI-waYje8

ye it works

try saving build maybe 🤔

[torpid abyss]

How did you do the import? Via the main site?

[royal hamlet]

I don't mind wrong numbers in gems tab, there is plenty wrong numbers, but it just does not feel stronger and there is no way for me to check it ;d

[royal hamlet]

what do you mena import?
Pob did generate the link

you click share button

[torpid abyss]

I mean to get it from the game into path of building

[royal hamlet]

I don't think there is a way 🤔 I clicked all myself, maybe im wrong, im noob a bit

[torpid abyss]

damn thanks. That was possible in poe 1

[calm vessel]

Yall can anyone give me some advice on what bow i should get for around 20 div for a lightning arrow deadeye?

[dawn niche]

how does chain support work with crossbow shot? it has supported skills do 50% less damage but i only see dps decrease if i put it on other skills

[signal badge]

Yes, that was just an introduction to the question.
The second part was the actual question.
Like Essence Drain has hit damage and DoT. Sure, the ES sacrifice applies to hit damage, but does it apply to DoT?

[atomic halo]

Modifiers to Spell Damage apply to Debuff's Damage over Time

only because of that

otherwise it wouldnt

[jagged lion]

Hi, I've made a plan to craft a friend's amulet, does everything I wrote work ? And is it improvable for a guaranteed 6th modifier ?

[ornate rock]

does "% increased to armour" only increase the armor on the item or the total armor on all your gear?

[atomic halo]

depends on the item

if the item has base armour, it's local

if it does not, it's global

so boots, gloves, local, amulet, global

[ornate rock]

so this for example

[atomic halo]

local

[ornate rock]

only increase the armor on the shield

[atomic halo]

yep

[ornate rock]

okay thanks a lot

[atomic halo]

it's already factored into the "339" displayed there

[ornate rock]

yep, understood, thanks

[jagged lion]

you can see the "armour" in blue, it means it has been modified by something on the item

[abstract grove]

why is block chance missing from rare shields in pob lmfao

[timid aurora]

[alpine basin]

My little brother has been playing rake ritualist and it’s actually really good

Anyone know if flat damage on rings is applied to off hand for shield attacks?

[median heart]

Does the DPS account for the damage granted by companion?

Or would I have to multiply the DPS x 1.57 in this case

[brave otter]

Is there anything i am doing wrong / I should improve?
https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/GonkGonk-0091/character/WoungWagdan

[alpine basin]

No

[median heart]

So how would I get actual DPS for this bos

[ornate rock]

is there a BIG difference in having just 74% chaos resistance and not 75%? o,o

[median heart]

Bow

[alpine basin]

That is the actual dps of the bow. If you want to know if it is a dps increase from your current bow, just calculate what your current bow is (or use an overlay that shows) and compare

The companion damage is not local to the bow, it gives additive increases like what you’d pick up on the skill tree

[median heart]

Oh so we can't just multiply the 341.55 DPS x 1.57

[alpine basin]

No, unfortunately

[median heart]

Got it. So the DPS of this bos is 341.55 including the companion bonuses?

Bow

or poe ninja can show stuff wrong?

How are people liking skeletal brutes?

Thinking of putting one in my chaber build as a stun builder-upper lol

[cloud star]

What is good to look out for on belts?

[radiant lake]

Hey all just need help with furthering my lightening spear Huntress build level 60 I followed the one video 1-6 but now I am looking to further up my build

[frozen knot]

if i use combat frenzy on weapon slot 2 do i keep the charge when i swap to weapon slot 1?

[teal dock]

You should be able to because the charge is attached to you not your weapon

[clear sluice]

does anyone know if shrine effects from sceptres scale?

[somber pendant]

found a historic jewel that gives me two if these close by, i also have this shield... would this work for Dark Effigy?

and would doedre's undoing hazard count as terrain?

[teal dock]

Might also do Minion Pact with brutes to beef damage but idk

[fleet blaze]

has anyone scaled trampletoe radius before?

[dawn spire]

Dark effigy projectiles do not hit terrain as far as I know, so I think that would not work

I believe the projectile needs to be fired parallel to the ground to hit/chain off terrain

Dark effigy is more like a mortar-style projectile

[somber pendant]

ah splash cant chain

[sly leaf]

Are there any specific interactions with Pyromantic Pact (Infernalist mana replacement) or Hellhound (besides Loyalty and Ignite related supports) that I should be aware of / look out for adding to my build?

[steady loom]

Does anyone have a list of what the different aspects do for the Rite of Passage charm? And can you have multiple effects going on at the same time?>

[hybrid onyx]

if i socket ghost dance, do i need to have energy shield from gear for it to give me energy shield or does it just scale with my evasion?

[mental briar]

How do life recovery rate and life regeneration rate interact with leech?

Does increased recovery rate make leech heal over a shorter duration?

[alpine basin]

Yes, but life regeneration increases have no effect. Only life recovery which affects leech, regeneration, and flasks

[supple imp]

alo

which one of these is best to use my gem on

[warped viper]

does anyone know if zenith II support snapshots. ie if my mana briefly drops below 90% when casting but then goes above before the spell does damage

will it count the current tooltip when i hit the enemy, or when the spell was initially cast?

[wraith palm]

My boi got did so dirty 💔

[silent glade]

on hit

[warped viper]

thanks viper!

[craggy jasper]

How do you use ancestral cry on warrior? Can't seem to activate it/get 100 glory going

[quiet forge]

ignites

[serene minnow]

is channeling the Resonating Shield skill considered actively blocking?

[silent glade]

yes

that wording needs improving hmm

[alpine basin]

Aaah. My love, resonating shield.

If only there was a visible heavy stun build up for characters so I knew when to stop blocking.

But also, does increased stun threshold apply to heavy stun build up as well?

[silent glade]

heavy stun buildup is this bar next to your life (and yes we're aware it's not visible enough, improvements coming in future)

and yes, getting more stun threshold makes heavy stun buildup take longer

[past dust]

damn headhunter is so bis I hate it

merchant cust dropped one for me

literally the first merchant I visited this league

[restive ocean]

blood mage seems too OP every build i want is best on it lol.

like Rake Blood Hunt

[clear sluice]

"best" might be needlessly beyond whatever tresholds are needed to clear the content

[carmine flicker]

I can say lich is better, it will be just as empty

[clear sluice]

the player decides whats good with their applied skill

[restive ocean]

wanna do a bleed or poison build

poison PF or rake/bloodhunt something

or is there anything better for DoT

omg its all BM,
https://poe.ninja/poe2/builds/abyss?skills=Rake

[alpine basin]

Yoooo! Are you serious?! I’ve never noticed it 😂

Thanks!

[mild badge]

which one should i use? the left one is one im looking to merchant rn but it has less damage but +2 levels to proj skills. running deadeye

[restive ocean]

I'll go PF then, poison builds don't seem to be using any stupid expensive items

wtf palm of the dreamer 55 divine for rake build, nvmind yeah gonna go PF for sure 😄

[rugged kraken]

Skeletal storm mages cant trigger living lightning? Is that a bug?

[celest blaze]

It looks like pretty much all crossbow skills use Shockburst Arrow and a bow to apply shock

What's the most reliable way to apply shock using only a crossbow, do you think?

[wintry knoll]

can anyone please tell me if getting stats that add more chaos damage increases unholy might?

[bronze canopy]

What non-lightning builds are you guys running atm?

[night wedge]

Just posted my "guide" (though there will be a forum guide soon) for a Doedre's Undoing Blood Mage. Turned out extremely strong, if anyone is interested on that pure curse playstyle https://old.reddit.com/r/pathofexile2builds/comments/1ndqbpy/the_mafia_boss_a_doedres_undoing_curse_blood_mage/

[summer pasture]

Yes

[night wedge]

Been wanting to handle both clear and single target with curses since forever, and it finally works

[summer pasture]

Galvanic shards

[royal hamlet]

what better for mercenery armor or armor /evasion ?
assuming im mixing dex with str, but a bit more dex

[celest blaze]

Thanks. That's what I figured, I'll take it for a spin.

[celest blaze]

depends. I would personally go Armor, as it's likely significantly cheaper due to the deadeye meta and seems to be quite strong now that it doesn't just ignore ele damage

if your skill tree tends more towards Ranger, though, it might make more sense to go evasion just due to the nodes you're near. BUt if you're in merc territory or veer towards Warrior, it will likely be very nice for you and significanly cheaper.

[minor kestrel]

Is there a good chayula build I could follow? Everyone I ask just tell me to swap

And I am not experienced enough to theorytest decent stuff

[rugged kraken]

everyone is telling you to swap because its just easier being the other acendancy and you can do the same thing but with better results unfortunately

[royal hamlet]

I don't know full tree yet, but im gonna play grenades, altho your suggestion makes sense ;d

also in campaign evasion ratin does not even reahc 10% for me xd

[celest blaze]

the campaign isn't really about defenses, and yeah eva is pretty weak in campaign. Not sure how armor feels these days for campaign.

Also, the Cloak of Flame is arguably the best Armor chest piece, particularly if you can overcap fire res. It's pretty silly, but true.

[summer pasture]

Would not take the node that increase detonation time by 50% unless you're running explosive shot to detonate them

[royal hamlet]

lol

it converts chaos too ?

ah, nvm I missed part "physical"

[celest blaze]

no, just phsyical, but that's what gets you. Armor scales terribly for big hits

So, Cloak of flame makes the huge hit, and makes it about half as big by shunting it over to your fire res which is going to take away WAY more, and then the remaining half is dalt with much more effectively by your armor because it isn't as far in the sliding-scale-of-doing-diddly-against-big-hits

as a bonus, it has less movement penalty also. (5% versus 3%), so it's like you're getting a bonus 2% move speed also.

and it's cheap-as-free unless you're going for a rare corruption.

Like I said, it's pretty silly.

[sour basin]

does the bottom part work always if you're CI?

[silent glade]

yes

full life mean 100% life, which is always true with CI unless you're dead

[abstract grove]

is there a bug with ws sharing? once i got giants blood and equipped an offhand shield, my hotg does 0 damage on ws2

[carmine flicker]

yeah, but don't count on it too much. I have like 10k stun threshold and get stunned way too often

[sour basin]

its all the micro stuns even with a stone charm i feel even basic mobs stun me out of casting

[carmine flicker]

they totally do

I don't have charms tho

need to FINALLY get them

and flasks

[sour basin]

is there any life flask alternatives for CI builds? its kinda a useless slot XD

[static plinth]

The unique life flasks

Mainly Olroth's but maybe Blood of The Warrior can be handy if youre a monk or such

[sour basin]

im a pure fire based sorc

just doing my own thing and failing

[carmine flicker]

fire is just meh, sad thing

[daring veldt]

Hey I wanna know if stormweaver is better for widowhail spark cold infused build or is bloodmage better? Which will be cheaper to make? Deciding on buying gears rn and wants to know which class can come online for cheaper

Thoughts?

[sour basin]

fun but yee not strong

[celest blaze]

ignite is terrible, can confirm

[sour basin]

im not doing ign lol im doing raw hit/crits so its even worse haha

[carmine flicker]

go witch and accept the gift of immortality, lol

[sour basin]

im already level 82 on sorc

[carmine flicker]

then you can go fire, cold or just auto attack things to death if you so wish

[sour basin]

im doing fire specifically. i dont like the end game so my enjoyment comes from just doing wacky stuff

poe1 is too in depth for me to succeed at doing that so while theres no in depth mechanics rn im testing

[carmine flicker]

ehh, end game could be better

[sour basin]

i dont like the fact i cant choose a mechanic and the mechanics that are in i dont like

gimme delve or blight lol

abyss is ok for the quanity of mobs that spawn but unbalanced XD

[pale jewel]

anyone knows if its possible to prevent taking damage from the fireflower amulet effect?

[static plinth]

Can you spectre the giant abyss mobs that dual wield spears?

[static plinth]

Prevent? No, but just having 75% fire res makes it basically nothing

[carmine flicker]

poe 1 atlas tree was the best endgame thing they did

[static plinth]

Well actually you can wear The Three Dragons

But saccing your helmet for such a small downside is meh

[carmine flicker]

it'd say it's main upside of this amulet..

[static plinth]

The main upside is +4 to skills instead of the normal max of +3

But yeah the fire damage taken also has it's benefits sometimes

[carmine flicker]

ehh, it's really w/e
actual amulet would give more

controlled self damage you can give yo minions is way more interesting

[restive ocean]

is radiant greif still based for lvling?

[velvet trout]

So I'm trying to allocate weapon set points to the 'prolonged assault' node for a weapon set just for staggering palm (increase the projectile buff duration) but it won't accept weapon set points. Is this a bug or am I missing something (it's not a keystone)

[static plinth]

Radiant Grief + Gas Arrow you mean?

Pretty sure it got nuked from orbit

[restive ocean]

ya

oh 🙁

i want to lvl as pathfinder poisons but dunno if its good until 30+

[static plinth]

I might be wrong cuz ive never used it

[restive ocean]

ill try it out

[barren nebula]

Anyone who tried both the LA deadeye and Lich galvanic shard know if it's worth trying the other? I want to try a new build after a week of OP LA. Thought the lich build was cool but after thinking again its pretty much the same build lmao.

[carmine flicker]

what do you want from build tho?

lich is like 10x tankier, idk about damage

[sterile knot]

How does the unique critical weakness focus interact with spells that have additional projectiles (eg. Fireball with fire inffusion)

Would each hit apply the stacks assuming theyre crits

Or is it a once per spell regardless of how many projectiles

[silent elm]

Y'all, how does this person in a video I saw have Blood Magic & Chaos Inoculation but their HP isn't 1?

[restive ocean]

any good twink ranger leveling items?

I'm doing poisons its the worst lvling experience ive had so far lol

but im only 8

[atomic halo]

link video

[carmine flicker]

isn't possible

[mental briar]

Does cursed ground debuff linger when an enemy leaves the area? or is it specifically only when theyre standing on it

[carmine flicker]

standing

[royal hamlet]

does this mean I can fire only 1 ammo type and still get 25% damage bonus ?

[static plinth]

Yeah but its a really low value node in that case

I wouldnt take it unless you're using at least 2 and then its just a "yeah i have nothing better rn" node

[carmine flicker]

well, 25% increased for a node is ok

[barren nebula]

how is it 10x tankier when they are both running deflect and deadeye has 30% dr from tailwind? Unless there was some sort of overflowing ES leech mechanic that I glimpsed over Sowza's video.

[forest grail]

playing impending doom witch (probs going lich) rn, at the end of act 2, the clear feels pretty great even without windscream, but the single target is basically nonexistent. is ED/C all i really have as an option for single target with chaos bolt for wither stacks, or is there a better angle?

[bold oxide]

its good right from the start

[carmine flicker]

idk about that man's video
lich need around 30 nodes to become stupidly tanky and at 60 nodes spent on defence you can just go "lol, don't care" for 95% content afk

[forest grail]

the only other angle i can see with impending doom is playing it as a poison build on pf or something, but you kind of have to mana stack for it to have good base damage which is awkward

[barren nebula]

I've had moments where I fell off my rhoa in t15 map and I survived the long stun animation with 5 mobs beating my ass. Deadeye is stupidly tanky with deflect+evade and ghost dance.

[carmine flicker]

I had a moment where I went to 150 splinters xesht, swapped weapon for guiding palm, went AFK/for a walk
returned and grabbed my loot in an hour or so

[main cipher]

oops i just realized i shouldve sent this in another channel

[barren nebula]

I only see 10% DR in lich (galvanic shard, not to be mistaken with other lich builds) tree vs the 30% from deadeye, so not sure where the extra tankiness is coming from. Other than the DR, they have the same evade+deflect defense, use the same gear, and same run and gun blow up the screen build playstyle.

[carmine flicker]

in some streamer build I neved looked at? for sure

[barren nebula]

guess no one had tried both lich galvanic shard + LA deadye to tell the difference.

[carmine flicker]

I guess

[barren nebula]

even the no mana cost is the same in both builds if you run constricting command.

[carmine flicker]

I can probably try to adapt my build to galvanic
will lose some ES to not having a shield, but w/e

[barren nebula]

Both are headhunter builds so speed is the game. Nothing is killing you if you kill them in a nano second.

[carmine flicker]

ehh, I don't believe in that

I'm more "nothing can kill you if nothing can kill you" guy

[static plinth]

Has anyone ran a full armour Witchhunter? Does it feel tanky enough or is it lacking?

[nimble kite]

can any deadeyes help me quickly

[fleet blaze]

can i make this bigger than 2m?

[restive ocean]

what buid? i'm OOM really fast

tell me i dont have to do LA until 80

[west wharf]

if you go an armour spec with a decent amount of armour affects ele dmg taken, the fireflower hit does essentially 0 damage

[inland pelican]

hey, I saved up 20 div ^_^
which item would you upgrade next?
https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/KioDota-2544/character/MetaRuiner

[restive ocean]

im doing something in correct in this video game.

takes full mana bar to kill 4 white enemies

Ranger level 7

any tips?

[inland pelican]

still running the starter bow?

[restive ocean]

yellow

[inland pelican]

post your build please

[restive ocean]

i have 8 points into projectile dmg

scattershot on lightning rod

[inland pelican]

no I mean everything ^^ use poe.ninja or similar

[restive ocean]

howd

[inland pelican]

log in on that website and share your character like here

[west wharf]

at least it lets u be perma maxrage with fireflower ngamahu

🥹

[restive ocean]

character info is empty but how bad can i bes messing upat 8. getting 1 shot and donig no dmg

[restive ocean]

https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/Substratomaniac-0993/character/Conconcter

[wise spindle]

is infernalist back again on being the better minion class vs lich?

[carmine flicker]

Ye

Ability to use same support many times was strong

[inland pelican]

make sure you keep moving :] the game can have a steep learning curve ... other than that, your expectations might be a bit off

evasion & energy shield together is probably easier to play, try to get items with both bases soon

use your exalts for trading

[restive ocean]

i have a 40 warrior its like 10x easier, prim for stune and 1 shot since level 4

wow why does settings unpause the gamae just died

[trim jay]

just pulled this, sounds p good but im not for sure

[outer willow]

Yo, can someone please tell me when I should be prioritizing + additional arrows to a bow over +4 skill, or attack speed? Should I be taking a bow that does 125k dps with 3 arrows or a bow with 200k dps with one arrow? I'm so lost
Amazon LA

[naive mason]

does this use the amount of evasion rating or the % evasion chance?

[static plinth]

Deflection in general? It uses the Deflection Rating vs Enemy Accuracy in it's own formula

[naive mason]

i dont play bow but i'd go for whichever feels better tbh

[static plinth]

Deflection Rating is derived from Evasion (or rarely Armour)

[naive mason]

ah sorry, i highlighted the wrong passive

i meant to ask this

[static plinth]

Then yeah thats based off your flat evasion

If you have 20k evasion that gives you 1200 deflection

[naive mason]

is the conversion to deflect chance the same as evasion?

also thank you very much for the reply

[static plinth]

No its different

It was in the patch notes i dont recall it off the top of my head, but Deflection cannot hit 100% unless you have % increased deflection rating (which is in a couple places)

Whereas Evasion doesnt have that limit (but is hard capped at 95% chance)

[naive mason]

ooh i see, a smaller chance but i think it'd help me atp with 1k hp lol

thank you once again

[restive ocean]

What are some twink items to make re-doing campaign not horrible

im ranger

[crystal drift]

how do i filter the trade site to show me rings with 1-50 lightning dmg , all mine show up like 3-5 dmg and i need the high max

[naive mason]

i believe if you type the average number of the range you want in minimum part, it'll work

i do it like that but sometimes it can show different stats too

[crystal drift]

hmm ok ill try

[celest oxide]

Is Crit Quiver always best even if I don't have a crit bow yet?

[celest oxide]

Set the min to the average you want

so if least you want is 1-50 set it to 25.5

[brave canopy]

I'm guessing not... but does fireflower count as a "hit"?

when you take the 100 fire damage

oh using search apparently it DOES work. interesting....

[atomic halo]

yep, it does work

[brave canopy]

and call me crazy... we might be able to generate power/frenzy charges with it too if we pick up catalysis

[hidden siren]

thats a horrible way to generate charges

[unique sandal]

I've been playing ice shot deadeye and just randomly basing it off of LA deadeye. I was messing around with combat frenzy, called shots and going poe1 style with charge regulation but it was awful so I looked up top ice shot players DPS in poe ninja and copied barrage + snipe for bosses although I almost always forget to use it. I am really just using ice shot for everything. I am on console and pob.cool isn't set up to easily import from profile in poe2 yet so I can't validate this idea.

So here's the question, my DPS is 92% cold and I am looking for some type of mixed damage. I am considering a Fanatic bow for the added chaos but it would be unscaled and pretty low right?

Is there any other damage conversion I can get from tree or gear?

I played sconc in 0.1 and used ming's heart. I could give that a shot tbh.

[restive ocean]

plague bearere or wind dancer at level 12? Ranger. wanna go poisons evenetually

[royal hamlet]

whats the difference between detonation time and fuse duration?

which one is for grenade auto detonate?

[brave canopy]

lmao, maybe. what better ways are there?
one of my chars is a cold abyssal lich, so no corpse or minion shenanigans :p

the only way to reliably generate power charges (including for bosses) i could find was voll's

[static plinth]

This is only a viable way to gen charges on Ritualist

And even then you HAVE to wear Scold's Bridle which is ass

[pearl sluice]

Neck is good for minions tho if you’re using skills that are fire it’s better damage then a solar Ami with spirit and +3 minion

Cause neck goes to 4

[lost hornet]

in POB, does this red line on the passive tree indicated that it was allocated to the 2nd weapon set?

[static plinth]

Yes

Or the first not sure

One of them

[lost hornet]

ty

[pearl sluice]

It works exactly as it does in game with the colors

[merry chasm]

question: if Im running Fire Pen II (Hits from support skills ignore enemy fire resistance) is applying exposure going to do anything?

[brittle anvil]

nope

[merry chasm]

thanks much appreciated

[alpine basin]

Similar question hahahaha, but as a warbringer with the break armour below 0 node, brutality III is just a straight up dps decrease right? Since breaking below 0 is better than ignore phys reduction, right?

Just not sure reducing armour below 0 is the same as reducing resistances below 0.

[west epoch]

Is this line on Proj accel 3 the same damage modifier

as this one?

Or is that implying "% Increase damage with bows" like a melee weapon node would say

like this

[brittle anvil]

same thing, and they can't double dip so choose 1

[west epoch]

but they arent the same... Lol

GGG please learn to use your words better

[brittle anvil]

all %increased are added together

[west epoch]

yeah but "increased damage with bows" isnt the same as "increased projectile damage"

have you personally tested it?

[brittle anvil]

well I havent

[brittle anvil]

hmm seems like you can double dip that, just tested and tooltip is going up

[west epoch]

im trying to now but i dont have any skill gem 4 or 5s

i thought so but honestly, it's kind of a dead case

i took every increased projectile speed node on the tree on a ranger and got 81%

thats quite a bit but i dont think it's worth the point investment..

[brittle anvil]

if you really wanna spec on that i guess scale it with widowhail?

[west epoch]

might not be perfectly efficient but its like 50 points

[west epoch]

Maybe, how much proj speed can you get on a quiver?

[brittle anvil]

around 500%

[alpine basin]

Anyone?

[west epoch]

If you lower it enough, yeah but it also depends on the amount of phys reduction being ignored. Also if you're breaking armor in the first place, why would you need phys reduction anyway

If they dont have armor to give themselves less damage taken from phys, what is there to reduce?

[west epoch]

You can get inc/red to proj speed is gained as bow damage as a desecreated modifier

[alpine basin]

Well that’s what i was wondering. I intuitively used brutality II because i assumed ignoring phys reduction essentially meant ignoring armour, but if armour is lower than zero that would be better. I just see a lot of warbringer builds with the negative armour break nodes that still using brutality III for some reason

[west epoch]

Honestly, thinking about it, it's probably for rares and bosses that have built in phys reduction

on top of it, the bonus 30% more phys is a very good jewel by itself

[woeful sundial]

does anyone know if they removed the ability for culmination 2 to support falling thunder?

[steady breach]

i've been using ice-tipped arrows since start, and i still havent figured out if its actually good or useful
anybody got opinions on that skill?

[violet rampart]

anyone using poison concoction path finder need help with something

[untold cypress]

hmm 1st or 2nd one?

[sly leaf]

I'm using Fire Exposure, Mag Area II, Searing Flame II, and Loyalty on my Infernal Hound right now, but I think I could replace Searing Flame with something, any suggestions to make it a bit more utility focused?

Like if I give it Incision, that would make bleed from my Bone Blast up to 30% stronger?

but also that attack will be weak regardless

Stun III maybe?

[fast wind]

im struggling with t6 maps and dont know what to do with my build

[alpine basin]

yeah, 30% more is good, but brutality II is also 30% more.

still undecided on if it's actually a damage boost or not. even if for the occasional mob with built in phys reduction, for evvery other mob you're losing damage, right?

maybe there just isn't enough info on negative armour break yet to find a good answer 🤷‍♂️

[olive frigate]

is this worth the upgrade?

[steady breach]

hard to tell like this, use pob to see how much it does

[olive frigate]

you are right

but what about from the first look

[steady breach]

it might be better, not sure if 10div better
flat phys can be big

[olive frigate]

i kinda doubt phys would have an impact

[west epoch]

No you arent losing damage.

[west epoch]

You would definitely gain dps but i highly doubt it's worth 10 divs. I would guess like 6-12% depending on how much your current crit rate is and how much attack speed you have

[olive frigate]

1.94 AS 22 ch 424cd

[west epoch]

i could see it giving you up to 2.06as with maybe 23.8crit, good upgrade but again not worth 10div

[unreal canyon]

hi i need some info on mom does it take priority over es or es has priority over it

[west epoch]

yes Mana damage is first unless otherwise stated by the damage type like chaos damage bypassing it

@Hiro unless you've upgraded everything else

[olive frigate]

the thing is i am struggling finding an upgrade at this point its either 50d+ or nothing :/

[unreal canyon]

tyty so i can leech mana and it will protect es

[west epoch]

yes

[unreal canyon]

sad to say, es protected life and life was not taken from damage leaving mana intact

[west epoch]

Is upgrading quiver your only option? not a bow or ring?

[west epoch]

mana going first was how it was in poe1, sorry man. Im a poe1 oldhead, mechanics sometimes dont translate well over

[unreal canyon]

well thanks anyways

[west epoch]

of course

[unreal canyon]

looks like i will need eldritch battery

[west epoch]

mom + EB is always a good combo

[olive frigate]

i would say gloves -- quiver/ ring -- bow

[unreal canopy]

If I want to create my own build somehow - What is the first thing I should take a look into? The Passive Tree?

[brittle anvil]

the skill(s)

[unreal canopy]

Skills + Support?

[brittle anvil]

nah supports later

[olive frigate]

combination of passive tree skills + support skills + skills + spirit skills

[unreal canopy]

Because a few days ago I wrote here that I wanted to create something like a Lightning Arrow -> Fire Arrow Build with Deadeye

But its just seemingly impossible as there is no direct way to convert Lightning -> Fire and you'd need the "Avatar of Fire" to somehow convert it to fire. But it's like on the other side of the passive tree I just tried to play Lightning Arrow with Fire Attunement, herald of ash and skilled into some bow nodes + I got widowhail crude bow with 249% and a good fire quiver + physical/fire dmg flat on gloves and rings and actually I made it to Act 3 with that without issues

I felt a bit limited there
