2┃build-planning

[cedar aspen]

But yeah I feel that a little. It’s good for dot stuff but there’s better options in terms of ailments.

[dawn spire]

Personally I think ignite works well in scenarios where you benefit from an enemy being ignited and not from the ignite dps itself.

There are nodes like 25%inc crit damage vs ignited enemies, immolate support, 40% inc damage vs ignited enemies, etc

There is also molten carapace and the node next to it that make you ignite yourself and then get nice defensive benefits while you're ignited

[cedar aspen]

That’s my plan. Scaling into fire by dealing increased damage to enemies on fire.

Thanks for this, I’m going to have to take another look at my Maxroll wishlist again for the 50th time 😅

[carmine flicker]

That sounds like "ignite is useless without band aids"

Meanwhile shock and freeze works by itself

[quiet linden]

Can I have 2 of the same rune on the same piece of gear?

[dawn spire]

I mean, depends on how you look at it. Freeze doesn't do anything on its own except make sure neither you nor the boss die. Freezing won't kill a boss on its own. Neither will shocking.

Is doing good dps a "bandaid" to make freeze and shock good?

[quiet linden]

So if my Gloves already have a 25% Life cost efficiency rune on them, I can add another one if I have another rune slot?

[dawn spire]

As long as the rune doesn't say you can't

[mental briar]

Do any runes behave like that in the game?

[dawn spire]

I don't know

So I covered my bases

[static plinth]

No but some have limits (mainly Amanamu's Gaze in boots)

[mental briar]

By limits you mean only certain pieces?

[minor tree]

Just to be sure, does anyone know if living lightning (and srs) are meant to not work with tactician's 25% dmg given to minions node?

[mental briar]

Nvm I see it, says 1 abyssal core max

[minor tree]

i see exactly 1 person on poe2ninja using both living lightning and srs x)

i wonder if they're onto something

[cedar aspen]

After we discussed everything I only used shieldwall once against an enemy and it instantly peaked to 100% flammability allowing me to ignite 😳

So will take a look into doing more damage vs ignited targets and then I won’t have to use ignite2/3 on so many skills

[static plinth]

Oh lol i had no idea that was a thing, i was just referring to not being able to stack multiple to get above 40% move speed

[royal hamlet]

Can someone help me pick ascendecny? For Merc and grenades. Is Gemling better than tactician? 🤔

[dawn spire]

Better at what?

Dps? Survival? Leveling? Cost-effectiveness? Peak endgame dps? Clear speed? Single target dps?

The correct answer is chrono, though. Machine gun mortars

[royal hamlet]

xd

[dawn spire]

I have no idea if that's good, but it's on my list

[west wharf]

anyone experienced with farming arbiter?

[formal violet]

Don't ask to ask! Post your question here so that people actually know if they can help. It's also better to discuss your question publicly so more people can chime in or learn! That's why these channels are here!

[royal hamlet]

im thinking of quality fro gems will be better, I dont use minions so I dont see much for me in tactician

[west wharf]

tactician is moreso for mortars

for self-throw i'd go titan

and for explo shot i'd go deadeye

[dawn spire]

Tactician is hella tanky too

Also the 25% of damage to allies node works for totems

[royal hamlet]

only minons I got is living spark xd

[alpine basin]

When shield wave triggers, is it’s damage based on the current weapon set you’re using or the one that fortifying cry is assigned to?

[dawn spire]

? That nodes affects all allies in your presence, not just minions

[royal hamlet]

I tried to tame beast, but it took 50% of spirit instead of 25 as described :/

[royal hamlet]

i got oly grenades ;d

[dawn spire]

And no mortar?

[royal hamlet]

no

im gonna try gemling, and if it won't work I came here to blame you for no chrono ascendency Kappa

[west wharf]

does not affect almost anything

[alpine basin]

When shield wave triggers, is it’s damage based on the current weapon set you’re using or the one that fortifying cry is assigned to?

[west wharf]

shit node

idk the exact specifics but 90% of what you'd expect to work with it doesn't

[rugged kraken]

What is more Damage with bonestorm assuming we use power charges? Lich Price of power with Eldritch Empowerment? Or Bloodmage with Sanguine tides and Blood barbs? Im sure the math has already been done but my little brain cant possibly figure out which would squeeze more dmg out

[hollow bronze]

Anybody running LA can have a look at my build? Need some clear DPS and better defs I can't seem to blast T15s max mods

[signal badge]

Anyone know how the weights are calculated when generating a trade query from PoB?

[atomic halo]

isnt there a whole display that tells you exactly what the weights are calculated from

full dps, max hit, etc, whatever you set

[signal badge]

Well, yes, but that's not how the weights are on the trade site.

e.g. if "# to level of all spell skills" has a weight of 34.6 on the trade site, and my PoB settings are at 1.00 Full DPS and nothing else, how much Full DPS increase can I expect from "+1 to level all spell skills"?

Because it's not 34.6%

[atomic halo]

all weights are relative

so if you want to know how much dps +1 is

just edit that into your helm or something and see what the % chng is

all 34.6 means is that it will give double the damage a mod with 17.3 will give

[signal badge]

Well, yes, but it still had to arrive at that number somehow.

Why I care is...

[atomic halo]

im not sure, but i assume you can reverse engineer it fairly easily?

[signal badge]

Say I want to add some other thing to the query that PoB didn't account for. Rarity or idk.
I need to set a weight for it on the trade site properly.

[atomic halo]

you can reverse engineer it if you find the actual dps change and compare it to 34.6

then you can find what 1% full dps is compared to 1 in weight, then if you know how much you care about 1% rarity relative to 1% dps you can calculate your own weight

[signal badge]

About a 8x difference.
Hard to say though.
Because +2 levels gives more than double the dps of +1 level.

[atomic halo]

then use a stat like % increased spell damage or something

that's more linear

let's say 4x ratio, then if you care about 2% rarity = 1% full dps or something then rarity will have 2 weight

oh wait

2 weight

[signal badge]

Hmm 4.48% dps for 30% increased spell damage = 0.1493% dps per point
With 0.5 Full DPS, that's 0.3185 weight on trade, or 0.637 with 1.0 Full DPS
So each percent is 0.637 / 0.1493% = 4.26577?

What an odd number.

I must have made a mistake earlier, it wasn't a 8x difference with the spell levels. It was also about 4x.

[sage jungle]

do we know how extra proj interacts with arc?

does +1 proj equal to +1 chains or?

[carmine flicker]

It's extra base arc

[sage jungle]

have you tested it?

that sounds kinda crazy

if it's true

[mental briar]

the wordings weird, does this mean I have to cast it myself and if its on a cast on skill it wont apply?

[carmine flicker]

not that crazy

can't shotgun with it anyway against single target

and for clear base chain count is usually enough

[sage jungle]

was thinking going arc deadeye, but you're right maybe its not that beneficial compared to bloodmage

[carmine flicker]

arc is zdps unless you have infusion

[mental briar]

does the infusion not apply to all proj?

[sage jungle]

cant u get that just by casting orb of storms tho?

as far as i know arc is 2button build, orb into arc

[carmine flicker]

yeah, you can, but you basically need to setup 3 orbs, then cast arc few times, repeat

[carmine flicker]

it does apply to all

[past dust]

how much hp do you need to tank monkey slam?

[carmine flicker]

one in act 3? one in maps?

like lvl 30(!) arc deal 730 average... that's really not enough even for many whites in t15 maps

[mental briar]

Im tryna make an arc based build and forgot when its slotted into a "cast on" skill it only gets 4 slots, it feels like all 5 are super valuable for arc

like I got 4 30% more damage mods but I feel like I need something that will give more projectiles but every projectile one reduces damage

[carmine flicker]

wildshards?

[mental briar]

too much rng

25% chance and I land it like 3 in a row then 0 for like 10

sione's alleviates it but like

[carmine flicker]

new one, that stack

[mental briar]

still had times where Id get to 4 stacks lol

[carmine flicker]

yeah, rng is like that

[mental briar]

I dont like "chance to" stuff in builds

[carmine flicker]

and I can't find 5-th more damage support for my chaos skill

[mental briar]

like 4 30% mores is 2.8x modifier and replacing one of them with like multishot or nova projectiles takes it to like sub 2x

[mental briar]

Feel like chaos has infinite more damage stuff

[carmine flicker]

I have 30% more, 25% more and.. that's all really

[mental briar]

especially with the x% of Ele as chaos

[carmine flicker]

and spell echo ofc

[mental briar]

You add the shock on chaos hit one thats technically a large amount

[past dust]

on maps t15+

[carmine flicker]

idk, but I have 14k ES and I don't lose even 1/3

[carmine flicker]

shock.. hmm

[past dust]

so like 5-6k

[carmine flicker]

I have 27% less damage tho

so I guess arc with 5 damage supports is like my doedre with 3..
but need a lot of levels and doedre's undoing need only int

way easier to stack. also give mana as added bonus

but.. arc have 3 orbs 2 button gameplay for actully decent DPS

[outer willow]

If I run with a duo, do I still need rarity? I bought a rarity set, but I lose about 30% of my DPS.

[sleek palm]

Anyone have any idea why you would run both Brutus brain and ambush support on a tame beast gem? Found a build I wanted to try but I don’t understand the gem setup

[unreal sierra]

rarity is calculated for person doing the kill

[outer willow]

Ty!

[dawn spire]

Depends on how much loot you want and how you define need. Technically you don't need any rarity

And yeah, that

[outer willow]

Does rarity effect orbs or just gear? Ive been looking to figure out if I actually need rarity or if I can just blast

[dawn spire]

It affects everything

[outer willow]

And 100% rarity just makes my drop chance go up 1%?

[unreal sierra]

afaik, it affects currency drops as well in poe2, compared to poe1 where it was only gear

and no, its not really 1:1 calculation, we dont know

[dawn spire]

We don't know what the formula is. Also what does "1% drop chance" even mean?

[outer willow]

The chance of it dropping increasing by 1%

[dawn spire]

What is "it"?

And is that 1% additive or multiplicative?

[unreal sierra]

some stuff is rarer, some are more common, rarity just makes everything drop more often in general

[outer willow]

Anything, if it affects everything. Additive, but I don't really know how it works I'm just guessing based off what I've read from unofficial sources

[unreal sierra]

or rather you get better orbs and more high-tier yellows

[outer willow]

That's good to know thank you, how much rarity do you run?

[dawn spire]

Rarity doesn't make more stuff drop as far as I'm aware. It raises the chances of better things dropping. It can also turn currencies into better ones

[unreal sierra]

quantity is the one increasing amount of drops in general

yes, i simplified a bit too much

[outer willow]

That makes sense if I just thought about it a little bit more

[dawn spire]

Makes items with rarities more likely to drop as higher rarity. Normal, magic, rare, unique

It does not affect waystone tier afaik

But I'm not sure

[unreal sierra]

i think it doesnt, but in the end it doesnt matter as t15s drop only t15s

and when you are at the point where rarity matters, you are already doing only t15 waystones

[outer willow]

I've probably never seen a divine within a waystone because I always run 0% rarity and only have received them from log book drops from chests

[pearl sluice]

are you not upgrading waystone rarity at all

even if you dont omen of rarity->desecrate and just use waystones you naturally roll ~50% rarity on you should be getting a div on the ground every 3-4 maps and another div in value of dropped items maybe every 5

[daring veldt]

Hey! So i jsut finished campaign on my sorc and I am confused as to what builds i can do for cheap. I have yet to pick my ascendancy.
Some builds I have in mind are (Widowhail spark with cold infused), (Frostbolt with snakepit ring), (Somekind of CoC). Please advice. Which build I can make for cheap and earn currency. I have 4div to far,

Any other build recommendation is welcome too

[silent turtle]

are there any support skills for warrior that creates endurance orbs or is it a spirit gem thing

[formal silo]

Could use some help. Theorycrafting an xbow build have never played xbow really. Is projectile damage the main way people scale it or will crit an attack damage be fine if I don’t have access to as many projectile nodes?

[carmine flicker]

you can always go 3 spheres/arc, was mentioned already

I have fun(=stupid) idea for that, I guess

[royal hamlet]

Anyone know how to show distilled nodes in POB?

[daring veldt]

3 spheres?

[carmine flicker]

orb of storms

[daring veldt]

How does it work?

Any guide or Poe.ninja or something I can follow?

[carmine flicker]

like you build 3 spectres + infernal legion/minion instability/feeding frenzy engine with orb of storm cast in minion death
that way you get 3 orbs every 5 second or so
so you run around and blast things with arc like palpatine you are
and when smth doesn't die spheres will soon spawn and support you with their combined electric might and give you 3 infusions on top

they also trigger
and with prayers for rain you have 100% shield recharge uptime that way so you can run around like a boss with no worry in the world

and this give you volatility for all those horrible deaths of your loyal minions(their fault, really. Bad choice of master)

and that's like 18% lightning added as chaos

idk, would be better on infernalist probably, for spirit and all that
and being demon is good for fanservice? (also for better roll animation, demonic dash is cool) I guess

[cyan plinth]

What special mods do helmets have to benefit melee builds if any? Like +level to melee skills on gloves or movement speed on boots. Just want to know if i should go for more than just life/resists/rarity

[unreal sierra]

crit chance if u are crit build

[west wharf]

oh, melee builds have some great options for mods on helmets!

80-120 to maximum life

10-15 to attributes

8-12 life regenerated per second

require 2-5 fewer enemies to be surrounded

you can pick anything within these roll ranges!

[carmine flicker]

Last one better be 5 tho

[west wharf]

if you're feeling spicy you can put resistance% in the rune socket!

[cyan plinth]

Does that only roll on the unique one?

[carmine flicker]

Or -4 chaos res of cursed enemies
If you are chaos melee somehow

[west wharf]

i was memeing

because constricting command is basically the only helmet option for melees

[carmine flicker]

On the only helmet you would wear, yeah

[west wharf]

so your options for mods are whatever that silly helmet happens to have on it

👍

[cyan plinth]

I was using this since league start, but switchg off of thorns builds now. Slam is more fun

[carmine flicker]

Idk
Killing pinnacles by going to grocery shop is fun if you ask me

Was for me at least

[cyan plinth]

It was fun, but after doing only that for so long i wanted something different without replaying campaign

[carmine flicker]

Yeah
I want to switch from curse spam to 3 balls arc

Even if it's weaker may be

[alpine basin]

Is life gained on kill on weapons local? As in kills with that weapon only.

[carmine flicker]

But will need to switch ascendancy for that

And that's hard at 8 points

[unreal sierra]

just do it again and respec at end

[cyan plinth]

This was the best i could do on my budget

Thanks guys

[carmine flicker]

Oh, you can respec at the end?

[unreal sierra]

yes both at trialmaster and balbala now

[carmine flicker]

I always did it point-less

And that's annoying when it literally break your build

[unreal sierra]

probably thats why they added it cuz it was pretty annoying yep

[carmine flicker]

Lich build without eternal life
Yeah, gl, guy

When you have 17% damage bypass es

I just fear both poison and bleed would be hard to deal with

On infernalist

[fervent nymph]

could somebody explain to me why this isn't working? this heart of the well converts 2% of mana to life cost, and essence drain shows that it costs 3 life with the jewel equipped and I figured the eternal life passive would negate it altogether, but I'm given this "out of life" message when I try to cast anything with the jewel equipped. Any ideas?

[carmine flicker]

You can't pay life cost when you life can not change

[fervent nymph]

gotcha, thanks for clarifying

[carmine flicker]

That's most self-nerfing jewel, lol

No good mods even

[fervent nymph]

I wanted the extra energy shield and chance to poison to give dark effigy another dot to proc off of

[carmine flicker]

It's so low tho

42% extra es from body armour is like.. extra 300 final flat es?

[fervent nymph]

I agree, if I had more money to spend I would absolutely opt for something better

[carmine flicker]

Well
Empty socket would be better than this
At least empty socket doesn't disable your spells;)

[lavish comet]

Anyone know how ailiths chimes is supposed to work? I've heard that, once you use and ability, the charges are generated BEFORE the ability goes off, so therefore buffing the ability that was used after hearing the charges.

I've experienced it work this way a few times with falling thunder, but most of the time it hasn't worked for me this way, and instead it just uses the ability, then gives me the charges after.

[summer owl]

What is the difference between league starter and leveling guide?

[cedar aspen]

Levelling guide is what he’s suggesting you use to get through the campaign to Maps.

I think League Starter is what he’s still currently using or used to start off his first character. Correct me if I’m wrong though

[alpine basin]

Yo. Ambrosia support is such tech when you’re blood magic and using a skill that you only need 1 or 2 casts to nuke bosses 😂

72% (75% if you can get a perfect increased charges flask) of damage as extra lightning damage is just absurd on something like shield wall hahahah

[north thistle]

has anyone tested whether this quarterstaves affix on jewels applies to hollow palm as well?

[cedar aspen]

Ohhhh that’s why Jeko was using ambrosia! I guess there is a use for mana flasks after all! (When you go blood magic of course)

[alpine basin]

Yeah! It’s honestly pretty cool.

[cedar aspen]

I love finding out about new support gems like this. Ones I wouldn’t even take a look at. I only just found Second Wind III which heals you per one second of cooldown

[alpine basin]

I’ve been using second wind on fortifying cry with the ascendancy node that ignores war cry cooldown… doesn’t remove it.

So i heal for 24% life every time i cast it 😂

I can spam it a couple times a second too

[vague obsidian]

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/ronarray-nuke-storm-wave-league-starter?weaponSet=set1
is this still good

[signal rain]

unrelated but can anyone verify how the defy 2 support gem's lucky damage with hits interacts with crit? does it just straight up roll all ur damage twice so that your crit chance is effectively increased or is crit calculated separately from the base damage roll?

[unreal sierra]

damage is rolled twice, crit proccing or not is separate thing

[signal rain]

makes sense

[quiet linden]

Is there a way to improve " Life Remnants " Quality?

It shows that it can be upped to 10%, but Prisms don't seem to work.

[sturdy trench]

Is 2H no shield warrior a thing or Giant 's blood is just better?

[haughty wadi]

can the DoT from herald of ash be scaled in any way

swift affliction seems to be a choice on poe ninja, but does that even work since herald of ash says it ignites

[vast egret]

is it really worth it to use Rakiata's flow support for lightning arrow? isnt it better to just use anything else? also what does "resistences become inverted mean"? if they had +40 fire res they now have -40?

[atomic halo]

"resistences become inverted mean"? if they had +40 fire res they now have -40?

yes

[vast egret]

thank!

[formal silo]

Anyone know what the best spec is to take advantage of the new black flame keystone? I never play spells but want to give it a try

[west epoch]

Is there a reason why im getting diminishing returns off of a single instance of increased aoe on Called shots?

4M base, gaining +35% off of Magnified area I, shouldnt the range be 5.4M? I'm only gaining 15% increased

[thin marten]

guys, i have added from nothing diamond but i cannot allocate to light on feet yet. can anyone enlightn me?

[quiet linden]

I have 25% Life cost efficiency on my gloves and now Im wondering if going another 25% would be smarter than putting on 8% Cast Speed.

[halcyon shale]

guys is there a way to accurately see what the Undying Hate jewel seed does? The maxroll planner is completely wrong

i bought a tecrods and the notables are completely different from the seed i entered in maxroll

[ripe river]

https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/lightning-arrow-farmer-fubgun

from fubgun's guide to LA deadeye, I'm a bit confused on hybrid endgame variant (non-crit) and above, how do you get enough int to use an ES helmet? I'm still just lv80 so im still using midgame variant but I wana know how you get more int to swap to endgame gearing. Do I just aim for int on gears or on stat nodes???

[candid flame]

i feel like im not doing enough damage

my sparks only hit upto 9k

and i struggle to clear t15 maps

[halcyon shale]

guys i think i have stumbled onto something crazy. So you know how the Undying Hate has the random seeds and there is currently no tool to accurately know which notables you get? well i got this:

those three highlighted nodes are triple ambivalent command

say I got 100 tribute, thats 120%CDR for minions

so which spectre/minion has the best ability on a massive cooldown i wonder

[little coral]

do any melee builds right now value accuracy on their amulet along with melee skills?

[fierce viper]

not really. They changed accuracy this season so that melee characters basically wouldnt need it anymore

Does anyone know if there's an easy way to reserve life? I just need 9% to activate coward's legacy

there's some cheesy stuff we can use like Execute III and the two support spirit gems that give 130% increased damage

[tough wing]

Am looking for some fun ssf builds that are not la deadeye or ED lich, anyone got some fun ideas?

[gray gate]

Hey guys I want advise...I play witch hunter with grenades, I like the DPS but I really struggle with defences - like extremely. I have 2,2k HP, armor 54%, elemental resists capped and with armor to elemental around 37% I think. I even have sorcery ward, but I am getting one tapped by almost any boss in the maps. Is there like some maybe expensive unique or some jewel that would help me?

[ripe sigil]

hello, any good endgame ritualist lightning spear build out there ?

[fierce viper]

you actually dont need expensive uniques or a lot of hp

im running around with 2.4k hp and basically facetanking T4 bosses

the key is to stack layers

one layer you can get is goregirdle, really cheap unique.

Then grab more armour to elemental. Get it in every slot you can, then path left to get prism armour

[gray gate]

What stacking layers means btw?

[fierce viper]

its like if you hold 1 stick in your hand, its easy to break. but if you hold 3 sticks, its harder. Armour by itself cant do it all unless you are getting like 30k+

then there are also ways that you can boost your current armour, through armour break! Since you are playing grenades, this is very easy to do with scavenged plating and charge infusion

just weave in stun grenades to armour break and generate endurance charges at the same time. This should give you like 60% more armour

[mental briar]

Armpur 54% is actually not as much as you think, Since the high hits will barely get their damage reduced

[fierce viper]

then lastly, another easy layer to stack is "Damage taken from mana before life". Amulets can get this as a suffix, and there are runes that give 10% each in body

if you get to like 40-50%, you effectively turn your mana pool into extra hp

really quick and easy to set up

just make sure you have some source of mana leech somewhere, but that's easy since you have stun grenades

[gray gate]

@fierce viper so...that unique you were talking about, morearmour to elemental gear and thats it? Mana before life sounds great, but I would have to fix mana pool aswlel, because I have 700 of it atm

[mental briar]

Yh you want sources of diverting the damage like take % of damage as fire or lightning etc which helps spread those big hits and makes the armour more useful

Carnarius put out a video on how armour works

[fierce viper]

good point. An easy one to get is the Pain attunement for nothing, That gives acces to Molten Being (5% convert) and also 10% mana convert next to it

[mental briar]

But essentially if you have a lot of % taken as another type the armour now has a much larger damage reduction for that phys hit and then youll also get reductions to the other parts because of resistances and armour to ele damage

[fierce viper]

and since you are play merc, you'll have Catalysis to the right

[fierce viper]

dont worry about ur mana pool, 700-800 is fine. You arent converting ALL the damage to mana anyway, Just like 40%ish

oh yeah, also. I would recommend to ditch sorcery ward. That thing destroys your armour value

its actively competing against the Armour applies to ele conversion that you are trying to set up

pick one or the other imo

[gray gate]

I ditched the sorcery ward, have the belt

and now just stack more armour with elemental resist on it?

[fierce viper]

yeee, you can get it on helmet, glove, shoes, armour

30-50%

prism guard and also nodes between warrior and merc have some too

then finally, get scavenged plating and charge infusion to boost that armour value even higher

just make sure that you stun grenades have the armour break III support gem

and you will be golden

you will probably have 15k armour in maps after the boosts, then double that due to gorgirdle

and goregirdle's 200% bonus also applies to the armour -> ele convert

[naive mason]

does anyone know what's the most important stat for primal strikes? when i change between these spears the dmg difference is only 1k but for lightning spear it's 10-15k higher with the accuracy spear

[knotty spruce]

Is there a point to go Constricting command viper cap with require 6 fewer enemies to be surrounded when you can go 5?

[plain yew]

holow palm flicker rytualist?

[tiny cave]

hi, is there a lich chaos dot build that also using spectres? thanks

[carmine flicker]

Well
My build use spectres to a some definition of use

[serene minnow]

10% of Damage taken bypasses Energy Shield
5% of Damage taken bypasses Energy Shield
Your Life cannot change while you have Energy Shield

would you loose Honour from the sekehma trial with this or not?

[carmine flicker]

respec my lich into infernalist or lvl a new one?

[tiny cave]

lol I understand, it just that I want to have some companions first before sacrifice them later with your build

[mental briar]

This is straight up removing the damage from existing

Its like saying 15% of incoming damage doesnt exist on you anymore

so it wouldnt

[ripe sigil]

How can I get this ? Cant find it with skill or spirit gems

[covert fossil]

It’s not in the game anymore. All elemental curses were rolled into 1

[clever vine]

Hi guys. I need help with a build. Which one is actually great for fast clearing but also good for bosses? Maybe something with bow but not necessary

[carmine flicker]

wow, that's VERY broad request

what class? how much currency can you spend on it?

[robust elm]

definition is the wrong word

[carmine flicker]

yeah, broad request

sorry, english not my native

[clever vine]

You right, sorry. I don't care about class but something which is fast and great clear. For example, las league i played LS amazon and was so great at clearing. Something like this

[carmine flicker]

tank or burst kill for bosses?

[clever vine]

Bosses is ok if not burst but at least able to kill

[carmine flicker]

well, LA deadeye is basically new LS amazone

[clever vine]

Ok. The only problem is that i didnt wanted to play again ls ahaha is there something different? Maybe some bow build idk

[carmine flicker]

like my build able to kill any boss in game except artbiter, but it will take few minutes of holding RMB

[clever vine]

I actually have 20d

[carmine flicker]

(can't die, so will eventually kil anything, but that playstile is not for everyone)

[clever vine]

Which build you have?

[carmine flicker]

int stack chaos lich

[clever vine]

But its like autobomber?

[carmine flicker]

more like impending doom from POE1

[clever vine]

Sound great! Work great for clearing breaches and delirium?

[carmine flicker]

if you take cursed enemies explosion then it should be real good
(I didn't)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrvUqL4u12Y

basic map showcase

(I made it better since that, tho, like 40% more damage and 20% more tanky)

[winter niche]

Lych would be more tanky than chayula (for essence drain) but would chayula have more dps?

[carmine flicker]

lich have 30% more node

so doubt that

chayula things aren't good for ED

they are better for chaos hit

[winter niche]

but theres no real chaos hit,, except that unnarmed wonky slap 😄

[candid flame]

is there a way for witch to not run out of mana without using blood magic?

my dps is super solid but i always burn out of mana and if i use blood magic without the undying jewel i just die

[carmine flicker]

well, there is, as I show in vid above

chayula would be great there, tbh

[winter niche]

What was the spells?

[carmine flicker]

but lich way more tanky

[carmine flicker]

curse + doedre undoing support

[winter niche]

Lich it is then xD even if i dont understand why its tanky

[carmine flicker]

abyssal lich to be presize

[winter niche]

Means nothing to me 😅

[carmine flicker]

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

lich is "lol, 27% less damage taken"

on top of abyssal lich giving like 140% increased ES and 60-120% recharge speed

[narrow pelican]

What does more damage?

Adds 2 to 48 Lightning damage to attacks

or

30% increased Lightning damage

[mental briar]

Technically chayula can be more tanky cos of chaos leech

Actually idk if DoT leeches

Chayula still the entire bottom half of the ascendancy is so lacking

And volatility requires such niche setup to make it useful

It would be much better if the breach remnants refreshed the duration but they dont so getting max chaos stacks from breach has like 1-2s uptime

[carmine flicker]

who need leech when constant recharge is there

[carmine flicker]

dots don't leech

[mental briar]

Why is it constant recharge?

[teal lion]

does anyone know why coming calamity seems inconsistent on pob?

now it tells me that i'd get no changes, sometimes it gives me a +10%, sometimes a +0.1%

[carmine flicker]

guide few posts above

[teal lion]

seemingly with no changes

my skill does cold/fire/lightning damage

heralds are socketed end enabled

[mental briar]

Yh but that requires some tech around minion reforming

[mental briar]

Hover over the hit damage for each element it should say why

[carmine flicker]

yeah, and?

[teal lion]

I assume coming calamity should be there as well? 🤔

sorry, im new to pob so its a bit overwhelming

[mental briar]

Youre making it sound like its part of the base kit

[carmine flicker]

it's easier to setup than SPELL leech to ENERGY SHIELD for damn sure

[tribal dew]

Hi. Just double checking. Is there anyway to have slams produce projectiles of mace strike skills to produce projectiles?

[mental briar]

It shows the conversions on bottom right from where the source is, tree meaning skill tree

[mental briar]

What projectiles

[tribal dew]

Mainly looking at irongrasp and getting use from the iron will

Oops I mean iron grip

[mental briar]

So you dont care what projectile comes out just that a projectile comes out?

I dont get what your aim is because if you had a certain skill in mind it could work

[tribal dew]

Well. I'll look at all the projectile options

[teal lion]

Maybe I'm misunderstanding but I don't think this answers my question?

• I have 2 heralds active
• I do cold damage and I do lightning damage
• Therefore I expect that selecting/unselecting coming calamity should change my dps on the skill that does lightning/cold damage

But now it's not happening (it did in the past)

[mental briar]

I dont think you configured it to show the heralds damage maybe

[teal lion]

I'm just trying to understand if it's a bug in pob or something I missed etc

[mental briar]

Check in configuration if theres a way to do that im quite new to using pob too tbh

[eternal pilot]

What class is actually best at using Mjolnir? I think titan is awfull due to no decent way to scale the triggered spells damage

[mental briar]

Theres a way to do so but only for lightning skills (mjölner) or fire skills (smith ascendancy)

[mental briar]

Probably lich

[tribal dew]

I think I'd want to make projectiles that do damage coming from mace slam skill if possible

[mental briar]

Or any spell based class cos youre gonna use spells socketed in

Last league there was a mjolner lich leap build

And mace strike for bossing

[tribal dew]

K I'll investigate

[eternal pilot]

Was it giga expensive?

[mental briar]

It doesnt work anymore and needs adjustments

But yes it was expensive

Doesnt work because deepest crown was removed

Mjolner in general is in a weird spot imo it is so greedy for stats but doesnt even offer that much in return

Like you have to sacrifice either tree or gear to get the stats required

[mental briar]

People using crown of the eyes this season

Spell damage modifiers apply to attack damage

Increases and reductions only

Lets you stack spell damage for the triggered skills whilst maintaining enough damage to be able to trigger on every attack

[carmine flicker]

if mjoner had like.. 100% increased lightning damage(global) then it would be more viable

also mjolner+fire spell on hit should be good combo min theory
somehow it isn't

[idle plover]

Has anyone ever successfully imported spectres manually into pob2 ? poedb2 has the spectre.lua code but when i edit the spectre.lua, i get error messages upon start.
even trying to fix these (as far as my knowledge goes) didnt work

[wild dirge]

question : if I am wearing original sin to convert my elemental damage to chaos, and I attack with a lightning spear ability with chaos attunement on, is that just purely giving me +25% extra chaos damage?

it seems like since my damage is being converted into lightning and then chaos, this will just reduce the leftover phys damage that isnt being converted to lightning > chaos

[lapis condor]

how do you get the azmeri spirit powers in your build?

[carmine flicker]

yes

[unreal sierra]

charm

[tribal dew]

How do you trigger the spell efficiency ? Is there a best way?

Is it just the amount of damage that builds up energy? The skill says ailment threshold...hmmm. looks fun

[mental briar]

Overwhelming presence is a must

Reduces enemy ailments threshold essentially allowing you to gain more energy per melee hit

Im making a build now that basically uses arc socketed in but like I need to keep farming on my farm char to afford more items

[lapis mason]

Does anyone know if Infernal legion support skill when minion dies from it works with Deathmarch on Skeletal Warriors?

[civic rune]

what's the actual best deadeye build for endgame ? is it fubgun or eravin ?

[frosty finch]

I'm wondering, is going surrounded tech always an upgrade ?

Or is it just good if you're going armour and evasion ?

[unreal zinc]

Guys im doing invoker ice strike, but i'm running charge staff + falling thunder too cause I like active play more than clear all map in one shot kind of play.

Anyway my question is, I have combat frenzy (+ that one node that changes the charges) to fuel all that but nobody is using combat frenzy in guides... could you help me figure out why/or just tell me what support gems to use on it

[static plinth]

At minimum its guaranteed Lucky damage and removes the need for mana regen

[tribal dew]

I see. Would chance to ignite would give you more energy maybe?

Or whatever flammability

[frosty finch]

I'm running the attributes stacking nodes, and i'm thinking of despecing those for surrounded

[left aurora]

does blind 2 on charged staff work for blind? to then use blinside on ice strike?

[static plinth]

The ones at the very bottom?

[frosty finch]

Yeah lol

[static plinth]

Theyre not great its probably worth the respec if you can

Ofc it eats your helmet but like
Good ass helmet

[gloomy gazelle]

Does anyone know if the Abyss mobs count as either of these two types?

[frosty finch]

Yeah thats the think i'm running the full es helmet right now, so i would lose a lot of es and eva

[frosty finch]

I'm 90% sure they are all undead

[static plinth]

All abyss mobs are demons

As are all beyond breach and delirium mobs

Its a pretty banger node when you consider that

And like 90% of maps have SOME form of undead as a basic mob

[exotic sleet]

does spirit reservation not work for cocaine ants/frozen mandibles?

[viscid dock]

So does crossbow damage affect mortar totems? If I convert my damage into another type, would it affect my totems?

[winged oxide]

Zombies for witch, any reason? Like....unearth exists, which does damage, and has minions that can actually keep up.

[neat iron]

can whirling slash pick up three different types of elemental grounds at once?

[carmine flicker]

idk. they aren't even that good for damage

[winged oxide]

There has to be a reason, right? lol.

[carmine flicker]

they are ok with power charges

[west wharf]

yes and yes

[carmine flicker]

140 average at lvl 20 per attack with power charges
vs 115 from frost mages for example
(except frost mages shotgun with multiple projectiles)

you can probably run sacrifice, 10 or so clerics, let clerics revive each other while you kill them with profane rituasl for charges and create zombies that way

idk

look convoluted

[winged oxide]

Some damn good theorycrafting though lol.

[carmine flicker]

took whole 2 minutes to check POE2db

[woeful tartan]

why is lightning pen important when using Rakiata's with LA?

[carmine flicker]

it isn't

[atomic halo]

you may use light pen support on skills you dont support with rakiata's

[mental briar]

whoever said so shouldnt be trusted lol

[mental briar]

I guess it depends how much dps that one skill with rakiatas does proportionally

[woeful tartan]

so are damage supports on rod and herald better than pen?

[atomic halo]

pen will be better against enemies with light res

rakiata's just means you dont need pen in general or on whatever it supports

everything else will hold equal

[woeful tartan]

can monsters have negative resists before any debuffs?

[carmine flicker]

yes

sometimes it's a pain with spectres
sometimes it's a boon with spectres

negative res they inherit from base mobs

[mental briar]

Do catalysts override but maintain same quality for a 20% quality ring i.e. if it had 20% life modifier but I wanted 20% phys modifier if I used uul-netols catalyst to turn to phys do I need to increase it back to 20?

[atomic halo]

20% life + 1 phys catalyst = 1% phys

[midnight bolt]

does anyone know how shield wall snapshots with weapon slots? Does it full snapshot aka if i put wall with weapon slot 1 but explode with weapon slot 2 itll take only passive tree 1 in consideration?

and how will it work with nebuloch auto crit thing?

[atomic halo]

snapshots the weapon you set the wall down on, i believe

[atomic halo]

if you drop with nebuloch set, swap, and pop, it will crit

i tested that one myself

[midnight bolt]

OKKKK huggee, thanks a lot man!

[lucid plinth]

Is there a reason I cant slot culling strike 2 into elemental expression anymore?

[midnight bolt]

trying to cook chrono shield wall, so wanted to be sure 😅 need those weapon swap points

[midnight bolt]

and have you tried clearing without trampletoe/herald of ash? just with armor explosions and maybe new fissure gems? or one of those 2 mandatory for clear

[empty torrent]

why isn't it meta to use death's harp on weapon set 2 with another bow on weapon set 1 for the other skills?
is the dmg of lightning rod capped to the weapon set it's launched with?

[atomic halo]

didnt try trampletoe but herald with aoe swap tree wasn't bad

i tried the fissure gems, they're not bad

[midnight bolt]

wait wdym aoe swap?

[atomic halo]

you can use the fissure and the +2 to get 3 fissures even though wall has a maximum of 2 walls

[midnight bolt]

like put herald only on 1 weapon slot

[atomic halo]

well, what i was doing was kinda weird and probably unadvisable, but i had a single target tree and aoe tree and used shield wall on both

usually people clear with resonating shield + fortfying cry

and use shield wall only on single target

[midnight bolt]

hmm makes sense

sucks that we cant have 2 timeless keystones 🙁 would be cool to have 1 abyss timeless jewel and 1 normal historic

[mental briar]

Using POB and adding a flat damage ring is giving like <1% damage with 2 max rolls. Does arc not scale well with flat damage?

Oh wait actually now I see it says to attacks

[atomic halo]

read closely

yeah

[mental briar]

I wonder why this guide I see has it then for a sorc build

[atomic halo]

flat to spells only exists in flame wall and indirectly from +1 levels

[mental briar]

I was tryna use it as reference for my one but I see flat damage not really that useful here

On that topic, if I was to use an attack would it be better to add flat damage of the type the attack mainly does damage for or for the type the attack does less damage for

Like forge hammer mainly does phys but has some fire, would flat fire or flat phys usually be better

[olive frigate]

did anyone have made the calculations on how much damage boost deos this give

or for the least have this and notice a huge boost in damage?

[mental briar]

Does this not vary completely from enemy to enemy

Theres no way to make accurate calculations

the simplest calculation is though, with 0 penetration and exposure/resistance shred, against a 75% resistance enemy you will do 7x more damage

This is because 75% resistance makes you do 25% of total damage (all else equal). Inverting the resistance makes it -75% which results in 175% damage

[midnight bolt]

is ryslatha coil good for shield wall, idk if its bugged but in pob it barelly adds any damage

[atomic halo]

ryslatha's depends on the rolls you get

but personally i wouldnt bother

damage is plenty

[olive frigate]

based on this you can make an accurate calculation no?

since basically you could say: this gem gives you 175% extra damage boost from your current damage?

[valid lark]

anyone know if i have a notable allocated with megalomaniac if it's still gonna work if i use a heroic tragedy??

[mental briar]

only against 75% resistance enemies

if you have any sort of penetration, resistance shred, exposure you immediately lose value

[olive frigate]

yeah

normal enemies have 50%

[olive frigate]

exactlyyyy

this is why i love this gem

since i wont be looking for such thing especially in the passive trea

[mental briar]

its also not 175% extra damage boost, its 600% more against 75% res

[mental briar]

Dw youre not the only one since its 30d for a reason

[olive frigate]

wait can you rephrase this i didnt understand

[mental briar]

The main advantage is if you play one skill centric build you can remove all penetration nodes on tree and not even run curse

[olive frigate]

pretty cheap imo

[mental briar]

If you are doing 25% damage against 75% res enemy

You end up doing 175% when inverted

175/25 is 7x

So you are doing 600% more damage

Btw can anyone help me understand if my mana pool is too small to take the full hit will excess damage be ignored or will it go to life?

[olive frigate]

oh my

[unreal zinc]

guys can u help me chose the right support gems for combat frenzy for a monk?

[flint tapir]

likely ignored?

[tulip fog]

are some uniques still not added to Path of Building? tried to look for Crown of Eyes and did not find it

[mental briar]

You can add this manually btw

Someone told me the other day

just copy and paste all the lines when crafting a new item

[unreal sierra]

are you on newest version, seems to appear for me

[mental briar]

but yh not all are in pob rn

[mental briar]

Oh I should probably update lol

[unreal sierra]

okay ive checked, its only on beta for now

here in options

[tulip fog]

thanks

[tulip fog]

it somehow gained the flavour text despite me not actually being on the beta version

[pale jewel]

Yoo any 0 button build ? my wrist is hurting like hell

[tulip fog]

i just copy-pasted the stats from the wiki and named it

[magic tide]

what's the best site for finding up-to-date and good builds atm? haven't played in a while and want to get back into it

[unreal sierra]

maybe its alrdy in pob, but just doesnt display on the list yet

lol

[magic tide]

probably a minion witch build?

[pale jewel]

Yeah I played minion infernalist in 0.1 but idk maybe there was a new 0 button build that didnt rely on minions

[magic tide]

i remember there being a poison cloud build that used to be really strong but i dunno if there is one for the current season as i only just started again today 😛

[pale jewel]

yeeah gotcha. I have level and geared 3 characters this league now so yeah my right wrist is kinda giving out so I need some rest but i just cant stop farming lol

[magic tide]

haha i feel that

[fiery aspen]

Hello, doing crossbow tactician. loosely following Ziz's Maxroll planner but its just the planner, no explanation.
I can't figure out how he's getting heavy ammunation on this unique amulet?
When i try to put it in the reforge bench to craft it with dilirium (greed, greed, guilt) i can't even place the amulet in the bench (its not corrupted)

[pale jewel]

U dont need the reforge bench

just right click delirium oils

[royal hamlet]

Grenades is cast speed or attack speed?

[tulip fog]

does this mean you can only have 50% elemental pen? or does it mean you can penetrate 50% below 0% resistances?

[tulip fog]

shooting them or the time until they explode?

[carmine flicker]

50 below 0

[tulip fog]

nice

[royal hamlet]

ah, yea shooting them

[tulip fog]

then attackspeed

[royal hamlet]

thanks

[tulip fog]

skillspeed also works

[carmine flicker]

they have attack tag, so..

[robust ember]

Someone help me understand something please. I see some Blood Mages with CI on POEninja, how can that work out?

[carmine flicker]

may be it's changed with timeless into smth else?

good timeless position if anything

[robust ember]

Ah that might be it

did not consider that

both of the ones im looking at run timeless hate

[carmine flicker]

mace, spear or staff better for melee?

[pale jewel]

Any good builds to play on controller? lol

[tulip fog]

pin and immobilisation is the same thing right?

[vagrant nacelle]

can someone tell me what the best deadeye build right now is? it looks like lightninig arrow is meta right now but i dont know which one to pick

[pale jewel]

lightning arrow afaik

it has it all plus you dont even need crazy gear to blast endgame

[vagrant nacelle]

what does afaik stand for?

[pale jewel]

As far as I know

[vagrant nacelle]

ohoh okaz

can you recommend me a specific build? from a specific youtuber is what i mean

[pale jewel]

yeah fubgun is the most reliable i would say

just dont go for the crit variant thats for rich people

[vagrant nacelle]

that's actually the one i have open right now haha

[vagrant nacelle]

okok got it

thank you very much

[pseudo junco]

does Path of Building suggest talent swaps for better DPS or defense? i know it highlights nodes but does it go the next step. also does anyone know when its getting Deflection calcs

[teal lion]

Not sure what you're talking about exactly

Do you mean the "Node power" color overlay?

Does anyone know what is the best way to set up PoB so that it tracks the DPS of a herald of ice focused build? Do I just look at the explosion value for the skill or there's something I'm missing?

[barren nacelle]

Does hollow palm technique benefit from the quarter staff nodes on the tree ?

[tired hornet]

Just remove all Evasion & Deflection ranger and I don't feel much squishier. Should I go ER+Armour with Iron Reflexes to have some real survivability?

[atomic halo]

no

[barren nacelle]

That explains so much thank you

[barren nacelle]

Thank you bloon , from Bloons tower defense .

[sturdy sable]

worth ? LMAO

respecced my whole shit

[mental briar]

compose requiem on the lament crossbow is stupid too does like 1m dps and I have absolutely horrendous gear

Definitely getting nerfed next league

galvanic shards lich is against their "vision"

[west wharf]

ppl use nettle ant for haste aura right

[mental briar]

galvanic shards lich is 0 buttons if you push your key in

and then just use mouse to move

[indigo pilot]

what's the verdict on deflection? i'm currently eva/es and was wondering if putting a few points into deflection passives would make a difference

[sturdy sable]

What does it do ?

[mental briar]

Finding out controlled metamorphosis jewels can get a massive radius roll has changed the game for me for build planning lol Idk why I havent been using it

[mental briar]

idk but this is me standing still in hideout xD

compared to my crossbow shot which already oneshots every single pack

The only issue is its mega buggy

I could press it and it would just force cooldown cos I accidentally double clicked it

basically shoots some stuff like this and does big damage

[sturdy sable]

Why is our crossbow shot so different

[mental briar]

this is the crossbow

[sturdy sable]

Wtf is compose requiem lol

[mental briar]

The skill I showed above

[sturdy sable]

Ur not showing the description 😭

[mental briar]

https://poe2db.tw/us/Requiem

btw is there any reason why build guides dont socket any support gems into crossbow shot?

Like they socket it into the bullet type (shockburst rounds and galvanic shards) but not crossbow shot itself which I assume lets you double dip support gems

[west wharf]

it doesn't do anything

you don't use crossbow shot

support gems support the skill itself

not anything else

ppl will store gems in there for testing or for gem enthusiast, but doesn't matter what u put in

[mental briar]

So as soon as you click galv shards the crossbow shot changes to galv shards and only scales off that?

[west wharf]

yea

crossbow shot is basic bolts

noone uses those

well past like lv 2

[mental briar]

Got it, I got blue gems in it so I can reach the 10 min for the specific gem I went for

[west wharf]

yeah

oh my god

i'v been mapping with all my auras turned off

iforgot i turned them off to test companion stuff

[pseudo gale]

can someone help me understand how damage as extra works? If I deal 100 lightning damage, and I have 30% increased lightning and 30% damage as extra fire, do I deal 130 lightning and 30 fire, or 130 lightning and 39 fire?

[carmine flicker]

130 and 30

also those 30 fire will be scaled by fire damage

and not scaled by lightning

so if you have any "increased lightning damage" then you will have less fire than you would think

[round escarp]

Is exsanguinate in .3?

[sturdy sable]

crossbow shot does

insane dmg

lmfao

mine before was close to 500k

if i spec into it

[primal bramble]

https://youtu.be/0g2ACtveseY

[jade stone]

Thinking of selling off my LA deadeye what do yall think could be a fun char to try next? Want smtn fast and good clear ofc

[primal bramble]

i b een working on scattering calamity u guys find any neat combos with it yet

[still dirge]

nope. but we got Reap, Zero cost physical spell that does half the damage and aoe as bone cage.

[still dirge]

bloodmage

[pseudo gale]

So lightning would double dip? 100 lightning with 30 more and 30 extra would be 130 + 39

[still dirge]

dont need pob to test it, if you turn on archmage you'll see tooltip increase by the powerspike it will give you

[pseudo gale]

Just trying to wrap my head around when the calculations are processed

[pulsar scarab]

Is there anyway to properly use lingering illusion? Like it just seems so bad

[carmine flicker]

no

all conversion and "added as" happens as the same time

say you have 1000 base lightning
30% added as lightning, 30% added as fire and 100% increased lightning damage and no other increases

you will end up with 2600 lightning(1000+300)*2 and 300 fire

can u help me understand why this build goes for chaos damage and curses if the build doesn't have any chaos damage/curses outcome?

[north heart]

Dude is there something wrong with explosive shot? My crossbow is looking downwards and it’s irritating

[pale jewel]

Guys dunno if i should go mortar tactician or witchunter

which is easier/ more meta

[jaunty oak]

Can someone please explain to me in WAY TOO MUCH DETAIL how Oil and Gas Grenade damage works?

[mental briar]

which would be better to anoint for arc build. Feel like the "lucky" one also being 30% chance has too much rng

[sturdy sable]

aint no way

this doesnt even make sense

LOL

[teal lion]

Assuming absolutely no other modifiers and a max level arc "more maximum" is a +14% while lucky is a +9%

If I didn't fuck up my math

However lucky has a damage distribution that is skewed towards the right so it will have bigger hits if you care about that

[carmine flicker]

lucky one is 9% more damage
the other one is 8% more damage

rather similar

[teal lion]

arc does 20-386
standard avg -> (20+386)/2 = 203

with more max, 386*1.15 = 443.9
new avg -> (20+443.9)/2 = 231.95

which is a 28.95 increase in damage
28.95/203 = 0.14

so a 14% increase, no?

[mental briar]

I just wish the lucky proc wasnt also about being lucky to get it

Cos not only do I have to worry about lucky but also sione temper 20% ramping chance to cast 8 more projectiles

And I dont even know if lucky works per arc projectile or on cast

Or even more individual level per individual hit of each chain

[carmine flicker]

My bad, got brain lag

Yeah, you are totally right

Also - arc build look way better to do now

[carmine flicker]

Except it's bigger hits 30% of time so not that useful, imo

When it was "non crit lightning is lucky" it was way better

[sharp carbon]

Need some guidance here. Adament Recovery seemed really good. Increases and reductions to Armour also apply to Energy Shield. Then Recharge rate at 40% of value. Was trying to pair it with Zealot's Oath and life regen. Why when I add this, I received no extra ES? I have a bunch of increased armour.

[carmine flicker]

Cause they apply to es recharge rate at 40% value
Not to maximum es

With zo it's literally useless

[jaunty oak]

Any Mercenary Experts here?

[sharp carbon]

Oh, that's all one line? Thought it was boosting max ES then reducing your Recharge. that blows

[thin marten]

can someone explain the constricting viper? I have gotten a less than 5 enemies to be surrounded but i cant use my skills when mana deplete

[midnight obsidian]

and do you have defy 2 support linked to all those skills?

[thin marten]

Yes i have them

but for some reasons it dont work

[ruby turret]

https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/cd97 is there a better way to path my tree for these nodes?

i think when i hit 90 i can move my start to the movespeed start and swap some around but i dunno if im missing something obvious

[fast wind]

i need help with my build i'm dying to often in t10s

i don't know what im doing wrong

[ruby turret]

im getting the notable there

i need a level for it though

i have a timeless in that socket, im grabbing the life and mana nodes too

[cyan isle]

Quick gear question.... Act4 Amazon Huntress, chest piece. (New to Huntress, still figuring out stats)
All things being equal, do I want to go hard on Evasion, or is some Armor good too?
Have two chest pieces... 404 Evasion, vs 170 EV/190 Armor.
Thoughts?

[jagged pawn]

Mechanics question, if I'm using the Blood Mage passive that reduces enemy health by 15% when cursed, does that preclude this passive from working?

[atomic halo]

yes

[jagged pawn]

Ok thanks, wondering why so many of the aggravated bleed builds take both and then use Blasphemy with a curse and Magnified Area lol

I'm guessing an oversight made in a game of build telephone

[sharp horizon]

is there a good galvanic shard build that i can look for?

[jagged pawn]

I'm not aware of one but I'm going to write one if Maxroll will answer my stupid question about how to load a saved passive tree lol

[mental briar]

Quick search on Google/youtube goes a long way

See at least 10 within the last 2 weeks

[north heart]

Idk what fissure build to do, feels like I’ve seen so many variants

[mental briar]

Does arc chain to lightning rod?

[jagged pawn]

is there a support gem that reduces channeling time?

[restive ocean]

is poison PF only for end game? lvling as this is horrific vs my warrior

1/100th the dmg

[uncut bay]

you ignore armour, buy items with the most life and resistances. evasion helps, but unnecessary

[restive ocean]

this isn't fun i dont want to level as la

but its a trillion times faster

guess ill just go back on my warrior

[jagged pawn]

most builds don't come into their own until like act 2 or 3. don't sweat it, just do what works in the beginning and then switch when the cost is still low.

[restive ocean]

oh ok, its just real unfun i hate LA

is there another lvling build for PF

[jagged pawn]

the first two acts go really fast though

[restive ocean]

im killing at real low dps tho

[jagged pawn]

galvanic shards can be a good alternative. there's an ice shot build out there too.

[restive ocean]

what do i get at act 3 taht turns poisons good?

[jagged pawn]

some actual passive points to hit the nodes that make a difference to your build

[restive ocean]

hmm my warrior same lvl had a combo that 1 shot everytghing i guess pioson gets tha tlater

bosse are rough as pf

[viral sage]

for ranger/huntress, what should be optimal HP and Evasion when starting endgame?

[gaunt delta]

Most classes have leveling builds

[ancient otter]

I see people keep using Remnant Potency support for Elemental Infusion generating skills like OoS, Snap etc. Does this even do anything? They don't seem to spawn delayed and afaik they can't have increased effect.

[orchid musk]

how do i scale my witch chaos build im only doing 15k a hit at 87

[frank glade]

Hello, Ascendancy question: Elemental Surges for the Amazon say they convert 100% of physical damage to lightning. Does that mean things that proc off of physical damage, like the pin support, will no longer happen?

[olive frigate]

does this make me immune and wont fall of rhoa?

[lime narwhal]

kind of maxxed out my monk. liquidated my ranger because i was bored out of my skull with it. thinking of rolling another toon but not sure what else is really popping and fun.

how are crossbows doing this league?

[vocal bough]

Hello, can i jumpo into black cathedral early duruing the campaign in order to claim the new witch ascendancy or do I HAVE TO defeat Kulemak at full power first?

[slender bone]

Hello guys.
I’m planning to make a second character and would like to know which one you think performs better in the end-game without heavy investment:

• Hollow Palm Twister Deadeye
• Hollow Palm Tempest Flurry + Staggering Palm Invoker Monk

[mental briar]

I was looking at this builds pob wondering why my dps was so far behind, I noticed that they modified some of the resistances like lightning res to 30% from 50% would there be any reason to do this?

[last bolt]

Does anyone know if Gloamgown ES recharge rate applies to Zealot's Oath?

[signal crow]

Does Event Horizon+Eternal Life work?

[jaunty oak]

Can anyone tell me how the damage of Oil Grenade and its ignition effect is calculated?

[empty ledge]

I'm using spark zealot right now, are frozen mandible worth switching to?

[minor tree]

What do you all think the strongest super budget (1, max 2 div) build is out there right now?

I get a kick out of doing budget builds so i'm curious

[lime breach]

Does PoB count the stats of an Megalomanic ?

[minor tree]

thus far shield wall warbringer is doing great and it's super cheap, with blood magic and second wind 3 keeping me alive

but i'm curious about other builds too, usually anytime a build video comes out there's a casual 10 div item or gem (no way, another atalui's bloodletting build?!?) that blows the budget way out x)

i'm thinking doedre's undoing is interesting (goes for super cheap, stack int, ez) but blood mage's 15% crit node + atalui are king for it i think.

there's poison pathfinder which seems to get by with very little too, ed/c lich, maybe minions but spirit gear tends to be very pricey

[west epoch]

Any follow up to this? Im noticing this same effect happening on anything i put magnified effect on is not getting 35% increased aoe. Checking Contagion, 1.7m spread range goes to 1.9 that is a little over a 10% increase?? My previous example ofCalled shots only gained 15% aoe instead of 35%. Can anyone confirm what is happening here?

[uncut trout]

Ive been seeing warriors with 3.8 or 4k health, any ideas how they've been getting it that high?

[mental briar]

If you can get to lvl 78 galvanic shards lich

[minor tree]

i think it has to do with area vs radius

for example if you have a 10m^2 area, you have a 1.8m radius, but a 13.5m^2 area is 2m radius (11% more)

[minor tree]

with last lament right?

[mental briar]

Yh

Its probably gonna get nerfed next season

Cheapest last lament is like 100 ex

[minor tree]

yeah, leaves 60ish ex for the rest of the gear

that's a very valid option

[mental briar]

You also want the penetration gloves

Otherwise you need rakiatas

[west epoch]

Thank you, turns out im just a dumbass that cant read

[minor tree]

that's actually quite cool, just straight up infinite ammo

[mental briar]

Yh thats why I said deffo getting nerfed🤣

GGG dont like builds that require 1 braincell

[west epoch]

No, ggg doesnt like broken things

[minor tree]

yeah it seems unintended, afaik lich can't pay health costs with the node we're thinking of

since it says health can't change (thus can't be sacrificed)

[mental briar]

Tbh a build with crazy leech can probably do the same

[minor tree]

otherwise it'd be so OP even without that crossbow x)

[unreal sierra]

probably, but right now you don't need HP nor mana to sustain, so they will probably gut it cuz cool unintended interaction can't exist in this game

[minor tree]

if anyone knows other super budget builds that would fit in a similar manner, do let me know

i was planning a recoup chrono setup too, the gear is essentially free and i can then use any spell pretty much, scaling damage with archmage (i ignore mana costs)

but blood mage does everything better it's disheartening x)

there's that regen keystone from the jewel that's literally 100% life recoup by itself but stronger, atalui + any spell = endgame build, the focus that scales based on life costs, etc

that's like 40 div, not 1-2, but still

[mental hull]

do gems modify blood hunt's explosion damage?

if they don't, i can just take aoe 2, and rapid attacks 3, no?

[glacial vessel]

Guys, I want to roll another character. I don't want deadeye or monk like everyone else and spark I am not sure if I like it. Hows ED cont at end game like very end game all juiced delirium 6 mod maps and bosses?

[minor tree]

it should work well

[narrow ermine]

I have never gone CI in PoE2. How much energy shield do I need in PoE2 to do the swap?
I am a ranged character, so maybe a bit less, but around 3k?

[lone tulip]

I just twinked an invoker monk lvl 75. 1500 life / 2k ES / Evasion is like 45% i think? Almost max resistsnaces except chaos. Running Ghost and WInd

I walk up to a mob in t10 and they kill me before i finish a combo.

Hmm, can't post in the invoker sub channel

[viscid edge]

can anyone help me to trigger impending doom setup ? watched couple youtube videos about the build bu how much i try to cast it with cursed ground it wont proc.

[jagged pawn]

Does anyone know if there is any support gem which can functionally reduce the channeling time of supported attack skills?

[viscid edge]

i am guessing max 2 cursed ground is messing up something. I dont know how to reduced it to 1 as well. Willing to joing voice chat if you are available. Just mesage me

[carmine flicker]

was nerfed, also impending doom not worth anymore, use doedre's undoing

200% int is basically scales as well as 15% of mana(around 1200-1300 at ok investment both)

[viscid edge]

so i just need to swap out impending doom with doedre's undoing ?

[carmine flicker]

and spell cascade for spell echo

and you need to scale int

[viscid edge]

so for 6 link setup i need doedre's undoing - impending doom - spell cascade - spell echo - efficiency 2 ?

i am guessing i cant use two cursed ground gem at the same time

[carmine flicker]

no cascade

and no doom either

just curse-undoing-spell echo-controlled destruction

and 2 damage supports of your liking

[mental briar]

this is because youre getting stunned

Also if im not mistaken those stats dont seem that amazing

[viscid edge]

so what is scaling %15 of mana if we are not using impending doom

[mental briar]

I have a monk with 3k es, 1k life, 41% evasion and you just gotta play more carefully on monk

its not armour stacking like warrior who can charge head in

[carmine flicker]

nothing is scaling mana

unless you go archmage ofc

(I didn't)

[carmine flicker]

PMed you my current setup

[lone tulip]

Ah stun threshold. Need to get a belt. Yeah im like killing packs and then BOOM, stonewalled into death

I'm too used to my Rhoa on my deadeye 🙂 Thx, that might be a help

[lone tulip]

Yeah last time i did Invoker before palm was an almost midrange build, now we gotta be down and dirty

[lime narwhal]

any suggestions on a fun reroll? have sold my ranger and maxxed a monk

[mental briar]

nodes on tree that convert ES to stun threshld

[river frigate]

why does ruetoo uses % phys with flat lightning on one of the crossbow for explosive shot?

[mental briar]

also that unborn lich staff

can go up to like 10% per 100

[warped moth]

does increased crit chance effect spell crit chance ?

[carmine flicker]

I mean in my build. In general many things still do

[north heart]

Anyone tried whirling slash twister this season

[lone tulip]

Ah, i found one i can annoint. I can kill stuff so i dont mind losing a lil dmg

[jaunty oak]

What determines the damage of Ignited Ground by Oil Grenade? The damage of the Oil Grenade or the damage of the skill that ignited the grenade?

[brittle anvil]

yes

[warped moth]

thank you

[mental briar]

Not this one

This one will change your stun threshold to be based off 30% ES which is worse for you

You need to do ones that add max ES as stun threshold

https://youtu.be/dZq10SeAD3Q?si=5hkxuw9WoWoWh-OH

[exotic sleet]

whats the best most indepth minion witch infernalist guide out there?

[white relic]

I'm not sure which one of 2 quivers I have crafted to choose, one has +2 projectile and a shitty +fire dmg flat roll, the other +projectile speed and crit chance instead. LA Deadeye crit build. With the +2 projectile Tooptip DPS increases by about 2.5k and 3.5k dps on Arrow and Rod, respectively, but dmg on herald goes down by 2k instead. So does crit, from 40% to 37%.

[agile pelican]

Im looking to play a spear character as my league starter, are there any cool non huntress builds that suit my needs?

[elder mural]

chakra of thought node and blood magic work together for the 15% atrk speed ?

i would put that node on my amulet

[vernal lodge]

Is this decent?

Im trying to go for elemental fusion build

Or essentially an avatar build

[olive frigate]

top or bottom? deadeye crit build

[mental hull]

HOW does me linking armor break to blood hunt make it so that whenever i bloodhound's mark an enemy i can inflict armor break with any skill???

shouldn't this only make it so that blood hunt's attack and explosion can inflict armor breaks?

[sand juniper]

corrupted over 50 bow.. the highest i got was 276..
used around 20 omen of corruption then started using vaals only. how people get that sweet 300 or even 290?

[dusty oasis]

does minion pact work with CI?

[magic pier]

hi i never really messed with PoB
is there any way to import my current build as it is into it? equipment and all

[magic pier]

IIRC you need to already have a high roll to get a higher roll

[frozen knot]

go to import/export build then authorize your account

[sand juniper]

few people told me that, is there away to confirm this? also how high it should be? like over 250?

back to the first season one of my friends got 90% roll on ingenuity belt from really low roll belt when everyone said back then you need over 70% belt to get the 90 from corruption

[west wharf]

i don't think this is true?

when corrupting fireflowers for +6 you can use any noncorrupted, doesn't need to be +4

pretty sure it's just luck

[north heart]

With crossbows for leveling, do yall ever get tired of reloading? Especially with explosive shot

[iron harbor]

yeah pretty sure the vaal rerolls the base before applying the magnitutde change

[west wharf]

i usually just lv crossbows with grenades

if it's not your starter you could also just do rampart raptor

with some nice rings + flat ele runes in the rampart raptor

[restive ocean]

yeah i really ddint wanan do LA 🙁

want to stick w/ poisons main reason i'm playin PF, love the theme i usually do that in most games

[quiet forge]

Doesn't it stand to reason that if you can apply bleed on any ability, then making the mark do more stuff would be beneficial?

[spare root]

can someone recommend me a build that is good but also not dependant entirely on one button?

[tidal birch]

What would you guys recommend for the first ascendend point amazon for Lightning Spear (HC)

[naive mason]

does anyone know why are the other physical damages not turned into cold?

[bronze falcon]

Hear me out; max roll 3-socket widowhail with the "gain as extra chaos" runes, 2 mings heart with chaos catalysts, well rolled ingenuity, & a god roll quiver

is there a world where this is a good idea? lmao

[west wharf]

what's the mechanic you're using for cold conversion

[naive mason]

elemental surge

does elemental surge only convert its' own physical damage?

[west wharf]

i think it's cus u gotta consume surges for the conversion

the poeninja dmg listing doesn't assume ur consuming anything

it's just showing the baseline

like it wouldn't show dmg as if ur consuming frenzy charges, for the relevant skills

[bronze falcon]

it converts the physical damage of whichever non-melee projectile attack you use to consume the surge

[magic pier]

is pob not supporting timeless jewels?
like it's not calculating any damage increase from this

[mental briar]

It will if you configure it

[azure ember]

where can i find the called shot gem in game?

[static torrent]

On the Deadeye ascendancy.

[azure ember]

I see... it shows up as skill gem in poeninja

thanks

[west wharf]

on pob yeah, i mean poeninja

[mental briar]

ahh I see

[cyan plinth]

Is there any way to add quality on a belt?

[calm vessel]

Does anyone know how much DPS i need on my lightning arrow for t3 xesht?

[wide mantle]

Sorry if this is dumb, but if I do enough elemental exposure so that the enemies' resistance is below zero, would elemental damage penetration be wasted? Since penetration has no effect below zero?

[atomic halo]

yes

[mental briar]

Penetration is usually good for mapping not bossing

For maps you dont have the leisure to place a curse and exposure under every single enemy

[sand juniper]

which rune increase spirit? i cant find the bloody thing lol

[wide mantle]

Oh okay I see, because penetration is usually passive and exposure I usually have to cast?

So I'm probably okay to ignore it entirely right? Since I'm more concerned with my ability to kill bosses?

[wide mantle]

Okay, ty!

[atomic halo]

rabbit talisman?

[mental briar]

Yup like penetration will mean random map normal mobs will have 0% res if you have enough pen meaning effectively double damage

Because I think 50% res is default for normal mobs

[sand juniper]

i've seen a bow with 30 spirit, talisman only works on scepters?

[mental briar]

also is this like shock in the sense its a debuff on enemies so multiplicative with your damage?

[atomic halo]

yes

t's additive with shock

[mental briar]

ok good to know, blasphemy actually being a nice way to get even more damage

[sand juniper]

oh its a core nevermind

[wide mantle]

Okay, but do you think I can probably ignore it though?

[mental briar]

As in ignore penetration nodes on tree?

depends what element are you building into

Some you just get naturally by reaching the good nodes

like this entire cluster is essential for any lightning based build and you get like 30% pen to access to bottom right which gives gain 6% of Ele damage as Lightning damage

[wide mantle]

Ya like, going for more exposure than penetration, because I'm focusing on making sure I can kill bosses...

[mental briar]

I dont know if there is a lower limit to exposure but exposure stacks with elemental weakness and at least 2/3 of my resistance reduction is from elemental weakness

[wide mantle]

Okay ya so, that exact tree I remember my brother telling me I should ignore parts of, because the penetration was redundant with exposure, or something like that

[mental briar]

What build is this for

[wide mantle]

This was last year mind you, idk if it's changed

[toxic nest]

Is this the recommended build to follow for Huntress?
https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/spear-huntress-leveling-guide

[wide mantle]

Idk how build nomenclature works... :P
It was just a big lightning damage build that I (mostly) put together myself

[mental briar]

like I couldve invested more into exposure but I get way more value from elemental weakness with curse magnitude stuff

you can probably find the right balance to get both

[wide mantle]

Okay I'm getting a bit confused, none of this is penetration right?

[mental briar]

No this is resistance reduction

Penetration is redundant for any bossing youll do with these debuffs

[wide mantle]

Right, so I can safely ignore penetration?

Okay, cool yay

[mental briar]

Yh sure if youre clearing maps perfectly fine

[wide mantle]

Okie ty that's what I was hoping to know

[empty torrent]

why isn't it meta to use death's harp on weapon set 2 with another bow on weapon set 1 for the other skills?
is the dmg of lightning rod capped to the weapon set it's launched with?

[olive inlet]

anyone know if there are rules somewhere about what you're allowed to put into Cast on Critical? I was trying to put Mark skills in there but it seems im not allowed?

[sand juniper]

what good runes to use here?

got frost bomb on it beside the sigil of power

[static torrent]

You can socket in Spells (hence 'Cast on'). Marks aren't Spells.

[olive inlet]

so the build I was checking is just false, nice. Did that change or something?

[static torrent]

In 0.3, yes. If you were looking at a 0.2 build, it's out of date.

[naive mason]

can this go higher than 70 or is it the max

[pearl vine]

does %of ele dmg applies to armour go over 100%?

[cyan isle]

I've been levelling with the Rake/Spearfield build on Maxroll and it's been fun so far.
Wondering if this build has legs as an endgame build or not in people's experience for 0.3, or are some of the other options a better choice? I see that it was a Rake/Stomping Grounds build before the update, but that has since been nerfed out.
Appreciate any feedback! This is my first Huntress run

[shadow zephyr]

In 0.1, I seem to remember a bug report that Made to Last (recoup prevented physical damage as life) wasn't counting damage from blocked hits, and iirc it drew a response in the tracker.

Can anyone confirm what all this notable actually counts as prevented damage in 0.3? These are what I can think of. Do they all count?

1. Damage prevented by physical reduction/Armour.
2. Damage prevented by Guard.
3. Damage prevented by Blocking.
4. Damage prevented by Evasion.
5. Damage prevented by Dodge Rolling.
6. Damage prevented by Deflection.

[sly tinsel]

Which sorceress is better?

[azure ember]

how can i make rhoa more tanky? it is instantly throwing me off in deli maps :/

[atomic halo]

95% max

[atomic halo]

yes

[atomic halo]

1 - yes, 2 - no, 3 - yes, 4 - no, 5 - no, 6 - yes

at least, by understanding; havent actually tried of these

[shadow zephyr]

Thank you, 2 and 5 I suspected might not, I'm actually surprised that Evasion doesn't count, though. Makes me feel better about focusing on armour/es 😄

[frozen knot]

Chain distance should increase with more aoe right?

[atomic halo]

no

[frozen knot]

is there a way to increase it then? it says base chain distance is 6m

for projectiles

[atomic halo]

only if something explicitly says "increased chaining range" or something to that effect

[mental briar]

For just applying a curse is the best weapon set 2 stuff just level of spells?

Is there any way to get magnitude of curse or non damaging ailments on weapons or offhands

[supple jay]

what type of damage is shade walker

[chilly swan]

I'm trying to make a build that utilizes volcanic eruption which scales off of "default attack" damage. How do you scale that?

https://poe2db.tw/us/Default_Attack_Damage

Does it scale off of "Attack" damage? Or will it scale by increasing weapon damage %?

Or both?

[brazen solstice]

For skills that can be detonated (ex stormblast bolts being detonated by landing on them with a thunderous leap), is the critical for the bolt explosion determined when the bolts are shot, or based on whether the thunderous leap crits?

[abstract mortar]

hmm, i have 2 passive tree points remaining
what should be better?

1. 5% extra dmg
2. 33% increased dmg

[magic pier]

try both?

[tall dune]

What's the best annoint for l adeadeye.

Stormcharge or serrated edges?

[stiff lantern]

I thought lightning rod was the THE annoint for LA

[fleet blaze]

hey guys on my 3rd char now. ive been avoiding meta builds but i think i wanna do one now. isn't there a really strong super fast mobility monk build going around ? i think someone said "flicker strike has nothing on this"

[stiff lantern]

on poe ninja i see quite a number of people not running withered wands (for Lich ED+Contagion), how does that actually work for applying withered stacks and single target dps? currently my chaos bolts are a pretty decent portion of my boss dmg

[atomic halo]

for example, if your weapon is a mace, it would be mace strike

so whatever would affect mace strike would affect that

[supple jay]

what type of damage is shade walker

[carmine flicker]

Withering presence is ok for wither stack
Idk for single target dps

[stiff lantern]

ig if you get a good wand with +chaos spells the ed on hit plus dot should be enough to deal with bosses?

[fleet blaze]

what's the best minion build i can do that can stack a lot of rarity?

[carmine flicker]

No idea, do not play edc
Use withering presence tho

It stack 10 stacks in 14 seconds or so
Ok for me

[chilly swan]

That's helpful. Does that mean +skills would affect it as well...? And, how would that interact with something like hollow palm?

[fleet blaze]

Looking for a build that was posted recently but I didn't save it. Guy says "I can't click acceleration shrines game crashes 100%"

Maybe he had 32aps

[chilly swan]

Lmfao. That sounds amazing.

[atomic halo]

im going to say + levels works, but hollow palm doesnt because volcanic eruption isnt a quarterstaff skill

[chilly swan]

Volcanic Eruption works with any strike. It's a support.

[atomic halo]

uhh

[supple jay]

what type of damage is shade walker

[atomic halo]

i guess it would work then, although all the wording is quite new and arcane so i am not sure

i would recommend just testing it

it should bevery clear whether it works or not, considering you would deal close to 0 damage with the volcanic if it didnt

[chilly swan]

Is the update to volcanic eruption from 0.2 to 0.3 a 50% damage nerf then?

https://poe2db.tw/us/Volcanic_Eruption

[atomic halo]

no, it's a huge buff

because default attack damage scales with level and goes way past 100%

lvl 20 punch is 321% damage

[chilly swan]

Oh! I'm understanding now.

The wording is new, but, makes sense now.

[teal lion]

Can someone tell me what I'm missing here?

What does "affected by" mean here? The skill just needs to be enabled?

[west wharf]

ye

[teal lion]

Ok so

When I open PoB and look at the damage of my skills

I see the 40 increased lightning damage from herald of thunder

but no increased cold damage

[west wharf]

can u link ur pob

[teal lion]

https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/thevinter-4719/character/Vintert

Like, if you tell me that PoB is bugged I'll believe you, but just wanted to make sure I'm not wasting 5 points for a node that doesn't give me anything

[west wharf]

i see it on mine

do u have hoi clicked to enabled

[west wharf]

@teal lion oh it's cus u have it set to explosion

instead of buff

in stat set

[teal lion]

ok yeah

i had no idea the changes persisted

i thought they were individual

thanks!
