np

[chilly frigate]

is there ever a point to not make my nodes int if I am a witch? Like is the HP from str worth the tradeoff if my gear and spells are in a good place?

[west wharf]

if you alrdy have enough int to fulfill your requirements and don't need more mana

then yea sure you can take some more str for life

[chilly frigate]

okay, thank you. Afraid of regretting it later since its so expensive to redo it so just wanted some clarification

[west wharf]

oh no it's really cheap to redo in poe2

you just respec the point itself at doryani

costs like 7k gold or something

[chilly frigate]

yeah i have 40k gold and it said it would cost me 35k to respec 😨

[west wharf]

for just one point?

it should be like 7k gold

[chilly frigate]

oh no, i have like 15 nodes im changing up based on finding poeninja

[west wharf]

oh

don't worry about it too much, 35k gold later you pick up in like 2 minutes

you end up with millions of gold you have nothing to do with

[chilly frigate]

gotcha, thanks again @west wharf

[coral finch]

i'm torn, help...

[formal silo]

How do these two interact? Does it just mean basically all damage including chaos damage will contribute to ignite?

[restive ocean]

What level do poisons start doing good dmg? I just twinked out this alt and still do less dmg than my warrior auto attack, astonishgly.

They just baerely do dmg

Starting to see why not many stay for long on Pathfinder

[carmine flicker]

Can't decide if I want to go lightning caster or shield wall on my witch

[royal hamlet]

Does exposures stack from different sources? with oil grenade

[royal hamlet]

2H blood mage Kappa

[agile pelican]

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

[teal lion]

Yes

[viral sage]

are there new meta that work for all classes to speedrun the campaign?

[carmine flicker]

Nah, 2h+shield lich

[real zealot]

Does anyone know why i cant summon this companion: frozen mandibles. I have 100/100 spirit available and meet all reqs

[brittle anvil]

screenshot?

[real zealot]

Sec

[brittle anvil]

I mean the icon

can you right click it?

[real zealot]

it doesnt do anything

ive restarted the game, unequipped it, and tried lots of weird stuff

i did a dance irl, an ant dance

nothing

ill tame another one and see what happens

maybe the tooltip is incorrect about the requirements or something quirky

i have exactly 57 dex

raised it to 67 dex to test and didnt do it

[brittle anvil]

have you caught another one?

[real zealot]

Nah it will take a few minutes, im shopping for haste aura + temporal bubble

Im having fun playing poekémon right now

[brittle anvil]

I mean to catch a random one and see you can summon it

[real zealot]

Ok ill grab one

[magic pier]

chat how does Darkness Enthroned work with iron runes
does it just do nothing

[brittle anvil]

absolutely nothing

[real zealot]

Same issue, cant right click it

[brittle anvil]

just to make sure, you are right clicking the square icon, not the gem?

[real zealot]

right hehe

like i am using a persistent spirit buff

activate above gem

im a stormweaver, is that the issue? is there a +1 companion limit or something i need?

[brittle anvil]

should not

[real zealot]

hmm

im going to go tame a different species on an old content map and tryt that

[chilly swan]

Do gains happen prior to conversion? Like, is "Gain 25% of Physical as Fire" still beneficial when you take Avatar of Fire?

[brittle anvil]

same step, and separated

but conversion from skill gem happens first

[chilly swan]

Er, so, both are from passive tree.

[brittle anvil]

then they are separated

[real zealot]

this one from act 3 doesnt work either, i guess my account is bugged

[chilly swan]

What does that mean exactly? Does it mean that the gain will happen, and then the conversion?

[brittle anvil]

example you have 100 phys, avatar and 30% gain, you will get 75 fire(from avatar) and 30 fire(from gain), these will be scaled with %increased, %more, and added together

[chilly swan]

Gotcha, that makes sense.

Weird followup, how would that differ if it was from a gem?

So like, Ice strike would do the conversion first, and then the passives would apply?

So the 30% gain would only apply to the portion of ice strike that wasn't converted?

[brittle anvil]

if your gem converts 70% to elemental, then "gain phys as" will only gain from the leftover 30% phys

[chilly swan]

Okay cool. That makes perfect sense.

Thank you @brittle anvil!

[west wharf]

can anyone explain the 1 hp 100 ES infernalists to me?

how does the setup work

[real zealot]

I just found the workaround

Weiiird i got it.... weapon switched to tab 2 and had nothing equipped and it WORKED. Bug

[brittle anvil]

oh

can you expand the skill

[supple jay]

does rapid casting 3 work with triggered spells like elemental expression
or does it have to be a button/spell you cast yourself

[brittle anvil]

and see the weapon set checkboxes

[real zealot]

It has both sets checked lol

I can recreate the problem

[daring veldt]

Hey, I am looking for a build mainly within reasonable budget which can do endgame contents and bosses easily. Any recommendations?

[real zealot]

By checking tab 1 off then back on, it poofs the summon and i cant use it on tab 1, even though it is toggled

So i just have to toggle wep swap as a workaround

More bugginess. If i toggle off set 2 and try to summon with set 1, it toggles off set 1 automatically and now nothing is toggled

[river harness]

Do we have armour explosion geek here?
I am trying to scale it but have a really hard time finding how to
I am with an avatar of fire and getting a lot of fire damage nodes for damage applying armour explosion with resonating shield
But the damage is mediocre

[fervent briar]

does anyone here actually know kulemaks mechanics at full power?

[proud sorrel]

Do the twisters spawned from twister gem count as allys after being cast?

[river harness]

I really doubt that

[olive frigate]

so leech damage as mana means i get active instant mana recover based on my damage?

[proud sorrel]

Leech damage isnt instant unless you have the specific greater notable that makes it that way. Its like a heal over time

for mana I assume it would operate the same

[proud sorrel]

trampletoes unique boots I think would increase the effect of armour explosioin

so long as you killed atleast 1 thing

[minor tree]

I've been using it since early into the league, it's a bit inconsistent because it scales with enemy armour

Some enemies are tanky with now armor, those are barely affected

While some are squishy with a lot of armor and they pop immediately with 1 resonating shield and a warcry (to pop armor)

[river harness]

How long takes to pop the armour does not bother me

it bothers me that the explosion is not big damage

even with all my efforts to scale it

maybe I dont understand what scales it

[minor tree]

Oh yeah the damage is just inconsistent

Even if you instantly break all armor

I'm using resonating shield and 1 tap will immediately break armor, but if an enemy has 100hp and 1 armor the explosion will tickle them

But an enemy with 100hp and 100 armor dies instantly

[river harness]

This sounds more like you have magma barrier procs

[minor tree]

I do have magma barrier now but I did most leveling without

The damage just scales with the amount of broken armor

So if there's very little to break, it won't do much

[minor tree]

does indigon disable recoup as well as mana leech?

i'm thinking indigon + mana tempest + incinerate = infinite big damage flamethrower (does it snapshot?)

Add MoM, add mana recoup (if it works), fun times

also i wonder what the best ascendancy for an indigon build would be 🤔

stormweaver gets improved arcane surge
chrono can stop time/rewind, for incinerate shenanigans and to double-spend your entire mana pool
lich can scale mana regen by increasing max life
titan gets more regen through small nodes
tactician can get more spirit gems with clarity (and pin)
could also be fun with invoker and elemental expression (there was a recent build using spearfield to proc it nonstop)

[minor tree]

if anyone has suggestions on which ascendancy to go for the above, please shoot me a ping

[candid oracle]

Which undying hate timeless jewel can get these?
Or does it not matter and the tribute name affects only keystone type?

[woven depot]

I’ve also been thinking of doing indigon+incinerate but I’d 100% try it with chrono first

[dawn spire]

Mana tempest only empowers spells that cost mana. Incinerate does not cost mana.

Unless you're using it purely for the indigon buff?

[minor tree]

yep that's the plan

it supplies "fuel" and keeps the damage ramped up

but cast on ailment would work too

although mana tempest will already be on your skill bar for that build

is there any way to give spells flat damage besides flame wall?

maybe a level 1 spark gem costs almost nothing but through all the buffs ends up destroying everything

[dawn spire]

GGG has done everything in their power to remove flat damage from spells in just about every way in poe2. Minus flame wall

[minor tree]

we're scaling flame wall let's go

[dawn spire]

So incinerate gets 1s of fuel for every 100 mana spent. Mana tempest drains 1% of your mana per second. Before indigon, you'd need 10k mana to sustain incinerate.

With indigon the math gets harder. Depends on the roll of the indigon and how long you want to sustain incinerate

[minor tree]

cost of mana tempest increases as you spent mana inside of it

[dawn spire]

Yes, but not from itself, no?

[minor tree]

eventually it spends all your mana

yes, go in, throw some spells (to scale indigon anyway, you have to) and incinerate goes brrrr

[dawn spire]

"Create a storm of arcane energies that Empowers your Mana-costing Spells while you remain inside it. Maintaining the storm constantly drains your Mana, and spending more causes it to drain faster. The storm will dissipate when you exit it or run out of Mana."

[minor tree]

free sigil of power at the same time

[dawn spire]

Oh, you're casting other stuff in it aside from incinerate?

[minor tree]

yes ofc, otherwise indigon won't give you any damage

idea is to mana dump while inside of it then flamethrower

[dawn spire]

I guess I'm confused about how this infinite

[dawn spire]

^

[minor tree]

mana tempest adds the cost of spells used inside of it to its cost per second

so you spend 1000 mana inside of it, now it drains 1000 mana/second

[dawn spire]

Yes, but how are you going infinite?

[minor tree]

at which point, just hold the incinerate button and it'll keep going indefinitely

[dawn spire]

No, it will keep going until you run out of mana

And fuel

[minor tree]

if you have 1000 mana regen, and you spend 1000 mana inside mana tempest, it'll keep draining and refueling incinerate while it's in use

for indigon you want a ludricrous amount of mana regen to sustain its damage bonus

[dawn spire]

But indigon will keep ramping the cost of mana tempest until you cannot sustain it

Thus breaking the infinite loop

[minor tree]

hmm 🤔

huh i guess so, that's funny actually

tempest by itself would then cost more and more

[dawn spire]

Indeed

[minor tree]

i guess there is a balance that can be reached between tempest's mana cost and the indigon cost increase to make it match your regen

but idk how easy it is

well it's gonna be cast on ailment comets then x)

incinerate ignites anyway and it's for single target specifically so it'll proc and recharge incinerate

[dawn spire]

Without indigon?

Well, I guess if you have a trigger setup it won't ramp out of control

[minor tree]

some experimentation is needed for sure

but it sounds fun

i wonder if incinerate would snapshot indigon's spell damage when cast or if it would fluctuate during use

[dawn spire]

It would fluctuate

Channeling spells technically do tons of little casts, and each one would take your new stats into account

[minor tree]

invoker elemental expression sounds like a fun option too, people were able to scale its damage a lot, mana consumption from skills (with defy perhaps to be able to use them even if out of mana) -> spell damage used by elemental expression

[dawn spire]

Elemental expression only triggers when you crit with a melee attack

[minor tree]

time to crit a bunch then x)

either way indigon is really interesting for budget builds, i'm very tempted to give it a shot

[dawn spire]

With a melee attack? Are you ditching incinerate for this idea?

[minor tree]

yeah that's just a second option to benefit from indigon

[dawn spire]

Ahh

[balmy fulcrum]

Any idea for good map clear build with focus for cold explosion

[minor tree]

originally i wanted to do a full recoup meme with chrono but between her voicelines (meh) and it looking cumbersome + having to redo the whole campaign (end me) i just abandoned the idea for now

but full regen indigon sounds fun

i could even switch to titan and benefit from hulking form and build it that way instead of chrono/stormweaver/lich

(the recoup meme is scold's + sacrosanctum + midnight belt, archmage and max mana with zero regen to scale damage)

[dawn spire]

Personally I think chrono could be nuts. Weapon swap for chrono curse + elemental weakness (they cost a TON of mana) to drain your whole mana pool and ramp indigon.

Temporal rift to get it all back, weapon swap to big damage skill and unload with indigon ramp (hell, could even use incinerate for four seconds)

Chrono curse goes off to blast them for even more indigon value

[minor tree]

idk if chrono curse would scale with incinerate though, because it's from hits specifically

chrono's main advantage is the slow aura (makes incinerate easier) and time stop (also makes incinerate easier)

[dawn spire]

Oh, it does? Damn. Well that's fine. Probably better burst skills anyway

Plasma crossbow shot, grenade spam, snipe, etc

[minor tree]

could also be interesting with doedre's undoing

put it on a super low level curse and it'll scale off int

so it can be spammed even with the higher costs

[dawn spire]

Hammer of the gods could be fun, but there isn't really another damage curse for it

[minor tree]

lich can also get higher base mana regen by scaling life

or maybe reap to use all the spell damage

[dawn spire]

Yeah but if your goal is single target and you can kill a boss in one burst combo, then I don't think you can beat having 100% more mana (ie chrono)

[mental briar]

Are there any attack lightning skills that dont use quarterstaff

Also is there any way to convert phys damage into lightning damage like for hammer of the gods

[minor tree]

bow does

[mental briar]

Oh I guess I meant melee attack lighting skills that dont use quarterstaff😂

[minor tree]

extra damage as _ element should work

[mental briar]

Unfortunately the % of damage that hammer of the gods does even with 35% damage of other elements is still the highest on phys

Im tryna think of a way to use the combo support gem on a mjolner build

[minor tree]

can't you use any mace melee skill?

spear may also work then since it's 1 handed

[dawn spire]

Lightning arrow, lightning rod, electrocuting arrow, shockchain arrow, lightning spear, thunderous leap, storm lance, galvanic shards, storm blast bolts, plasma blast, shockburst rounds, and Voltaic grenade

[minor tree]

thunderous leap mjolner sounds like one heck of a vibe

[dawn spire]

Unfortunately thunderous leap requires a spear

[minor tree]

mjolner in one hand, spear in the other

[dawn spire]

And I don't think you can dual wield mace and spear

[minor tree]

ez

i'm 99% sure you can but i'd have to test it

though it's a bit pointless to hold mjolner in the offhand just as a stat stick x)

fun vibe though

[dawn spire]

"Spears are One-Handed Melee weapons that require Strength and Dexterity to equip. Spears cannot be dual wielded"

Idk if this means you can't use two spears, or cannot use a spear with another weapon at all

[minor tree]

i'd login to try but i'm away from my pc right now, rip x)

[dawn spire]

Same

[mental briar]

Yh thats the issue I just checked by scrolling through all the tabs when I was in game

And all were greyed out

[minor tree]

you can try to grab a mace and a spear from clearfell and see if the game lets you

[mental briar]

So yh I guess no pure lightning damage skill for mace users

[minor tree]

at worst rip 1000 gold

[mental briar]

I need to use both maces though

Need both mjolner triggers

[dawn spire]

Yeah poe2 is a lot more restrictive with attacks requiring much more specific weapon types

[minor tree]

then yeah no luck

[mental briar]

Also if im getting 214 str and 200 int im getting my values worth🤣

[minor tree]

though you dont need to do lighting damage for it

just any melee hit will do

note also there are gloves to ignore the int requirement

[mental briar]

As in rn im using lightning conduit for my single target nuking capabilities

But Im on lich not stormweaver so I won't do as much as they do with double shock

Was hoping to use hammer of the gods

But its not enough damage + requires heavy stunning to get glory

I was just trying to use the culmination support gem potentially generate combo but it only supports melee skills

[dawn spire]

Are you actually getting value out of this with the cooldown on lightning conduit?

[minor tree]

yeah it prolly works best on staff for now

especially with the lineage support skill to also get power charges

[mental briar]

As in its better than nothing tbh, if spellslinger was a skill it would make it way better for sure

[formal silo]

I heard there is a teleport magic build? I am usually playing flicker strike or spear/bow but was curious to play a magic build. Is there any good builds with fast clear that feel speedy to play? Most of the gameplay I’m seeing on YouTube for builds looks pretty slow mapping.

[dawn spire]

Blink is a spirit gem that replaces your dodge roll with a short cd blink. There is also a spell called lightning warp which teleports you to enemies within culling range or to your ball lightning

[minor tree]

i guess ball lightning + lightning warp

[formal silo]

Yeah I’m familiar with blink I think it’s warp. Will check it out ty

You can zip around the map with it right pretty decent?

[dawn spire]

No clue

[mental briar]

If the projectile speed of ball is fast enough then yh

[dawn spire]

Probably depends on how fast your ball lightning is, yes

[formal silo]

Ok will try and find a build for it. I got a lot of currency to blow so I’m down to try something as long as it feels a bit fast. So many builds I’m looking into look so slow

[minor tree]

your best bet for fast, if you have currency, is bloodmage shenanigans with atalui's

[formal silo]

You got a build for it by chance?

[candid hollow]

gain % of phys as extra does nothing with conversion?

[minor tree]

not at hand, but you can get a jewel to give you 100% recoup of life costs (super OP), gloves for instant leech, atalui's bloodletting, there's a focus that scales based on life costs

then pick any spell you like

bone cage works well with trampletoe, essentially clears the whole screen

[solid sphinx]

is elemental sundering skill dmg based off of your weapon or based off of the ailment dmg for ignite? theres a unique helm that ignites all enemies in your prescence but the ignite is dmg is pretty bad, i was wondering if u can use elemental sundering with it or will the dmg from the weak ignite be bad too?

[minor tree]

there's cold infused spark

doedre's undoing with the 15% crit node also clears half the screen

you can do ember fusillade which is super fast

if you have 40+ div to spend, bloodmage is THE best caster hands down no cap

and you can use any spell you like since it's all life cost scaling

[solid sphinx]

word of warning dont do any blood mage stuff unless u have 30 divs to spend on the abyss tect jewel and ataluis bloodletting support, you will constantly die in maps past t10 and wont be able to do any bossing

[minor tree]

it's based on skill level and melee weapon

note that consuming an ailment makes the enemy immune to it for 1 second

so you can't use it nonstop

[solid sphinx]

hmm 1 second is a long time but if u scale area and dmg enough u should clear the screen with it per use

[unreal canopy]

Teacher, Teacher. I have a question. I just swapped from a pure Eva Body Armour to a Hybrid Eva/ES Body Armour and used "Spectral Ward"-node before, what can I change this for now?

[formal silo]

Yeah but trampletoe has low ms, so big clear is nice but was looking for something that zips around fast

[minor tree]

there's always blink to supplement it, otherwise go for the other options and you'll be dandy

you can google "bloodmage fusillade build" and you'll find a good example

[solid sphinx]

ball lightning + high cast speed + vilentias support + lightning warp, its zoom zoom for mages

[formal silo]

Yeah that’s what I am looking for a crackhead build for mages basically

[minor tree]

(you can totally do the lightning warp stuff too, bloodmage is just OP)

[minor tree]

oh then i have the thing

lemme find it

[formal silo]

Yeah that sounds fun

[solid sphinx]

again bloodletting support and the abyss jewel that gives regen based on skill cost is manditory

so at least 20 divs, more if u want good cast speed wand and focus

or another 13divs for rathpith and go all in

zoom zoom and big dmg

[formal silo]

Yeah I have a lot of currency I can throw at this it’s prob my last build for a bit

[solid sphinx]

i would also recommend u look to fit in infusions with the inhibitor support

since inhibitor gives 4% more to all dmg per infusion

and u can get 15 elemental infusions total

and lighting warp generates a ton of remnants

[formal silo]

Ok cool and someone said bloodmage for it? Or any caster?

[minor tree]

there's a meme build

with mercy (skill can't kill) and lightning warp

clearing like half the map in 1 cast

[solid sphinx]

if u have the divs for blood mage, else u go stormweaver for less dmg but more spd

[minor tree]

flicker looks slow in comparison

but i can't find it rn

[formal silo]

Yeah that sounds amazing haha I usually play flicker so a magic flicker would be amazing

[solid sphinx]

u can also try chrono with full mana recoup so u can never stop casting

[formal silo]

I always wanted to see what chrono does but it’s prob better to just play bm

[formal silo]

Oh nvm chrono an option maybe I will try it with that

[solid sphinx]

chrono is full defensive tho

the asc has no offensive nodes

[formal silo]

Ah ok

[solid sphinx]

but u can get fast recoup

so u use scolds helm to dmg urself based on mana cost

[formal silo]

Can you make up for the damage with gear or bm just that much stronger?

[minor tree]

this is meme

i want to like it but it's a meme

[solid sphinx]

then get at least 94% mana recoup

[minor tree]

scold's + sacrosanctum + midnight to become invincible and have infinite mana

[minor tree]

bm will be infinitely stronger

[solid sphinx]

note u can get one shot still but if something doesnt one shot u u are immortal

[formal silo]

Hmmm

[minor tree]

1 jewel gives you 100% life recoup by itself, instant leech to full heal anytime you do damage

15% base crit to do some bullshittery

bloodmage is THE best mage ascendancy if you have the budget

[violet yarrow]

So I know +flat damage is good for attack build, but If I am playing a full physical bleed/poison xbow build, are any +flat damage that is not physical worth much? as they wont contribute to my bleed/poison at all

[minor tree]

hands down

[formal silo]

Ah ok makes sense will try and find some more info and then pob it tonight

[solid sphinx]

note the jewel doesnt quite give u 100% recoup, it gives like 80% of life cost gained as stackable regen

[minor tree]

it's 1 regen per 8 life spent in the last 8 seconds

so it's 100% recoup but verbose

and you don't have to hit yourself, so no scold's ez

[solid sphinx]

eh i tried it not really, u still have a net negative unless ur leeching

[minor tree]

which you do, bloodmage moment

and it's 1 jewel vs like 70 passive points

[solid sphinx]

not with lightning warp u aint, ur all the way somewhere else with no mobs to hit

i league started bm and cant afford shit, got the jewel drop and its honestly meh without the accompanying bloodletting support

[minor tree]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39DLyfpT45Y

this isn't the right video but it's the same concept

it can go MUCH harder than this

[solid sphinx]

i find coc LW to be a meme, LW does so much dmg its better to use it manually for it

[formal silo]

Yeah that’s exactly what I want zip around and blow stuff up

[minor tree]

but it gives you the idea, it's a full meme build

mercy to avoid culling enemies on your damage dealer, lighning warp procs to teleport everywhere

[formal silo]

Yeah I want a headache when I finish mapping

[minor tree]

bloodmage gets 100% crit easily with ascendancy and pinpoint

[solid sphinx]

u can also see in the vid his hp drops suddenly from time to time because the life cost regen jewel cant keep up

for some reason it doesnt stack as well as recoup does

[minor tree]

welcome to blood mage x)

luckily instant leech exists

[solid sphinx]

even though the wording says it should

note even with high investment spark is pretty ass in open maps

its great on closed maps

[formal silo]

Hmm so basically chrono you can be defensive like you guys said and bm will be big damage will check out both

[minor tree]

if you want recoup, your best odds are chrono and infernalist

infernalist gets BIG damage with demon form and pyromantic + sacrosanctum + infinite mana

[solid sphinx]

bm is currently THE highest dmg spellcaster rn since the archmage nerfs

[formal silo]

I should just level both to have them anyway for builds

[minor tree]

chrono has 3s recoup instead of 6s, which makes it much comfier, but you need 3 uniques instead of 1 for a similar outcome

[solid sphinx]

chrono lvling is horrendously painful since she gets ZERO dmg for a long long time

[minor tree]

there is an uncapped demon form video out rn to copy

[solid sphinx]

honestly spells are pretty ass in poe2 compared to poe1 since u always have to jump through so many hoops for it to do dmg

[minor tree]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUAcbB5rsbM
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c48oOnez7C4

^ for recoup infernalist

[formal silo]

I would prob just edc both for twink stuff anyway. Or just LA it and knock out campaign/early maps for levels.

[minor tree]

downside: some map mods will brick your build

chrono version is a bit more stable

but still susceptible to those

[formal silo]

Yeah it be like that though for a lot of dumb stuff it feels like

[minor tree]

also idk if i'd say it's super fast

it's just fine, it's cool cause it's cheapish and does big damage

[formal silo]

Won’t matter anyway because every other map is chilled ground or temp chains anyway

[minor tree]

unlike the flicker spell build from earlier

[minor tree]

pathfinder is love

[formal silo]

It is

Did a bleeding conc last week was a lot of fun

[minor tree]

i only have a warrior rn, been meaning to roll a second character but going through the campaign takes forever

i barely have it in me to go through it a 2nd time

definitely not enough for every build i'd like to try

[formal silo]

I juiced end game earlier but end game is pretty much the same as last league so I’m just knocking out builds I want to play because of the gem changes

[minor tree]

recoup chrono sounds fun
indigon <class> sounds fun
bloodmage sounds fun
lich doedre's undoing sounds fun
tactician
invoker
pathfinder

i'd want it all but x)

[formal silo]

So I don’t really stick on a toon long I can craft on any of them and that is where the real money is anyway

[minor tree]

i'd recommend hollow palm ailith's for a zoomy fun build

but i did monk last time already

[formal silo]

I played the hell out of hollow palm

I’m a chonk main

Life is sad

[minor tree]

go full evasion, 100000% attack speed, oops 100 combo falling thunder fetus deletus

x)

[formal silo]

It’s very fun but I’m tired of doing ele damage on quarterstaff. I was hoping the wind kills rework would be better but it’s basically the same as last league

[minor tree]

in theory i really should just go and play it, closest thing to surge deathblade i'm ever going to get (fav build of all time, too bad lost ark sucks), but hhh

[formal silo]

Hollow palm is very fun but I still feel using a quarterstaff is more power but hollow palm is also very fun with pathfinder because of conc stuff

[minor tree]

very fair x)

i wish i could instantly have lvl 80 characters ready to go

i'd make 5 today

losing 6+ hours to try out a meme build is devastating

[formal silo]

Tabula rasa with ms jewels, twink gear and work from home

[minor tree]

it's still 6h at best i think, unless doing proper speedruns

for a recoup chrono build? ehhhhhh

[formal silo]

I don’t know will clock the next one but it’s been pretty fast runs

[minor tree]

i'd really want to do pathfinder too, corpsewade was my fav 0.1 build

[formal silo]

If you plan out your gear it’s not bad

[minor tree]

but yeah rn i'm thinking of an indigon build since it'll be super cheap to get going

problem is just picking the ascendancy

if pathfinder's concoctions were affected by spell damage it'd be go time instantly

[mental briar]

Until dagger comes out I doubt you can replicate deathblade

[minor tree]

it's surge deathblade specifically that made it for me, having to build up surge and release it all in one strike was super cool

if dagger has that i'm going for it instantly

[mental briar]

You can potentially use the combo support gem to replicate but yh it would have to be an ascendancy node to make it similar

Surge deathblade was really satisfying

[pliant edge]

I’m planning an invoker build based on thunderous leap/primal strikes. I wonder how viable that will be now with giant nerf to spear

[minor tree]

i liked most how it was huge damage compared to other classes but limited by usually being unable to fully stack x)

but yeah ailith's is the closest we have rn (+ culmination)

casual 70 combo -> 280% more damage and 7 power charges for falling thunder

diy surge

[kind finch]

can anyone help me explain these numbers?

blasphemy quality isn't behaving like you would expect

[mental briar]

Yh cos of mechanics etc

[kind finch]

i noticed it in league , went to standard to check and it's consistently borked

[mental briar]

You had to release early because it would sometimes cause next mech

Lost ark was the best game I ever played combat wise just the grind was not it for me

[kind finch]

artist bis

[runic creek]

what's the difference between increased mana regeneration and increased mana recovery?

[kind finch]

recovery applies to leech (iirc)

[mental briar]

I quit before artist

[runic creek]

Ah ok, does it also apply to regeneration? or just leech?

[kind finch]

all

[runic creek]

ok so it's better than regen, ty

[kind finch]

if you also leech, yes, if you only regen, then it's basically the same and the only benefit would be if it's easier to path to

[runic creek]

yeah I get you, cheers

[kind finch]

i'm not sure if recovery also applies to on kill effects though

[kind finch]

before artist i just played 8 bard

[minor tree]

mood

played 1 month after western release, realised the grind was going to be unbearable, left

[runic creek]

does it apply to mana flask too?

since mana flask uses the word "recover"

[kind finch]

it might, i actually don't know the answer , i would have leaned yes nbut we have nodes that specify mana recovery from flasks so who knows what ggg went with

[violet yarrow]

can the explosion of herald of blood inflict bleed/poison? It doesnt says on the skill it cant but it doesnt list bleed/poison chance in the skill info screen

[minor tree]

perhaps with plaguefinger

i'm not sure, worth testing

[kind finch]

seems arcane blossom did increase the flask

[runic creek]

ok cool, thought that'd be the case but nice to confirm. Cheers

[kind finch]

no problem :) i figured i'd just take a look sinec i was in standard anyway trying to figure out why blasphemy is so fucked

[runic creek]

damage taken from mana before life won't have any affect on CI build right? it won't work with es

[carmine flicker]

if you have damage taken bypass ES + CI then you probably need MoM (unless you want to die ofc)

otherwise no effect

[runic creek]

ty

[vivid kiln]

Hey ! With the Amazon Lightning Spear why have storm lance + primal strike ? Aren't they both for single target ?

[midnight bolt]

does anyone know how breaking armor snapshot with weapon passive tree, if i break armor with type 1 but have armor break effect on wreapon type 2, will i get full benefits, or the break from weapon type 1 will snapshot

[rotund veldt]

Hi, how much does the Fubgun Build cost? I am thinking about switching from my Spark...

[glass minnow]

Anyone else have issues with Path of Building that the Costs of Spells are wrong?
Specifically my Spark has twice the life cost in-game compared to what PoB shows; but other spells also have wrong mana/life spell costs

[pliant sleet]

anyone can explain to me why my +45 spirit amulet is giving me no extra spirit?

is it a node i took or soemthing

[oblique sluice]

Are you absolutely sure that your spirit didnt change? Like equipping and unequipping does nothing?

Possible reasons:

1. you have that 1000 Life body armour that says you have no spirit.
2. If you were in the process of replacing and not just unequipping the amulet, the amulet failed to give stats that your Body Armour which has also 45 to Spirit requires.
3. You have Necromantic Amulet keystone or something, which gives your amulet stats to the minion instead.

[pliant sleet]

Yeah my max is 230 with or without

I have beastial skin on the amulet, idk if that changes anything

[frozen knot]

invoker ascendancy?

[pliant sleet]

Yes, is that stopping it lol?

i guess i didn't read it properly

[frozen knot]

leading me through grace node

[pliant sleet]

ahhh ok i see

only spirit i get is from ES and Energy shield

[frozen knot]

yeah

[pliant sleet]

only body armour, not helmet too i guess

damn i need better armor, but i crafted this one just now

[willow lotus]

https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/Kalizy-4138/character/Klaizy do i need to change the passives ?

[oblique sluice]

Do Totems snapshot your weapon set stats upon summoning? Or does it get updated if you weapon swap?

[carmine flicker]

wow, good one

[carmine flicker]

snapshot

at least they should

[royal hamlet]

how does elemental weakness stacks? for simplicity lets say one is -10% el. Res, other is -20% el res, do they multiply or higher takes over? 🤔

[carmine flicker]

you mean ele weakness curse?

[royal hamlet]

exposures from gems

[oblique sluice]

Exposure and curse are diff things

[carmine flicker]

stronger exposure + stronger curse

[royal hamlet]

I got 2 exposures

[carmine flicker]

best exposure works

[royal hamlet]

and was thinking of third, or aboutdroping 1

[oblique sluice]

They get added. Exposure takes strongest, but im not sure if it tracks the duration?

Like what if stronger exposure expires, does it take the weaker exposure with it or nag

[royal hamlet]

duration probalby gets refreshed

[royal hamlet]

ah

noone knows

[oblique sluice]

Haha

[carmine flicker]

every exposure have separate duration and strongest one still active works
at least it's like that with similar effects

like ignite, bleed etc

[oblique sluice]

Is this the same for buffs? Like should I cast totems while I have buffs? For example Rage

[royal hamlet]

yee, I could not figure this out, cause one exposure is scaled with hit while other was flat 20% ;d

in such case using weak hits with exposure seems waste of gem

[carmine flicker]

idk about rage

[tall dune]

https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/d188

how can i improve this build

[royal hamlet]

Which node is for Chaos resist essences?

left is deffence, top is chaos, but im not sure if its for chaos resist :/

i don't see much chaos

[carmine flicker]

resists isn't defence

while chaos res is chaos mod

[frozen needle]

Does anyone know the calculation for how blocked physical damage affects the heavy stun bar? For example if my stun threshold is 10,000 and I block a 1000 dmg hit, how does that affect my bar?

[teal lion]

You can't be heavily stunned no?

[frozen needle]

You can be heavy stunned. Getting hit while on a roah, hit while sprinting, or in the case I care about, if your stun bar fills while active blocking.

[teal lion]

Oh right, sorry!

[frozen needle]

I'm trying g to find out how damage gets converted to the stun bar filling.

Wondering if it's just 1/10 hit (1000 verse 10k stun threshold) simply fills 10% of stun bar.

I'm skeptical because I feel like I've blocked large hits that don't increase my stun bar by 50 or 80%.

[eternal pilot]

50k armour in this game is literally nothing when mapping

I cant survive shit with trying to play without a shield

[true shell]

Anyone know if "less area damage" from magnified area II affects the ignite damage from herald of ash?

[dawn spire]

I believe the answer is no. I think Herald of ash doesn't do area damage, it just applies a burning dot to enemies in an area.

Fun fact: enemies affected by Herald of Ash don't actually count as ignited. There is no ignite debuff on the enemies.

[true shell]

That's what I was thinkin as well, also that's interesting and mebe puts a mini-wrench in half the use of it to me

cause like, does it count as me igniting things?

I wonder what it does count as if not ignite, like if it still counts as an elemental ailment at all

Like I have harness the elements and echoing flames in my build, I'm doing a decent bit of fire just from flat fire on gear which ends up igniting stuff anyway but I'm curious if either of those interact with herald of ash at all

[mental briar]

https://youtu.be/3sGaFlMf66U?si=7KYYeCb_-6DFscKF

Finding out this is intentional and not gonna get nerfed as unintended is pog

[short pagoda]

Does combat frenzy snapshot/work on weapon swap if the frenzy generating skill is still active?

[static plinth]

I mean it still might get nerfed

[true shell]

I watched the chat rue and fubgun had and they were both saying that just the usual deadeye builds still gap that in every way which is hard to imagine just seeing all those interactions in the vid

[static plinth]

LLL deals damage, Deadeye deals damage and is fast

[mental briar]

Well believing deadeye driders that their class is busted is ofcourse gonna have bias

Lich exceeds in life consumption passives and low life passives

[true shell]

Iono if it was just when they recorded it or what, I don't get the impression that they'd just say that because they were playing it

I don't watch either of them a ton though so I wouldnt know

[mental briar]

Well Im glad they said it anyways

Puts people off the build

At least their community

Im using the build now because of how easy it makes farming for my other char which I play to have fun

After a long day I dont wanna be sweating my ass off eyes wide every map to avoid every little damage thats gonna oneshot me so this build is very nice since everything dies off screen

[small crater]

lvl 90 Tactician Mortar/Explosive shot, hitting a wall fully juiced t16. Pls any suggestions for respec

[high warren]

guys, would Spiral Into Insanity or Ancient Aegis be better for increased energy shield

on path of building the former seems to be better but im not sure if that taking into acount ancient Aegis, which i already have distilled

I also do chaos dmg so the increase on Spiral Into insanity would be a plus

[dawn spire]

As far as I can tell it does not ignite enemies at all. I think they copied over the effect from poe1 Herald of ash and made it apply fire damage over time that is NOT ignite

[atomic halo]

ggg has a long history of nerfing stuff post-botw

do not expect it to survive into 0.4.0

[dawn spire]

Yeah, they nerfed RF in poe1 which was an iconic build of the week skill. It was like a decade later, but still

[neat iron]

Hi, my starter is starting to slow down without more investment so I’m thinking of trying a whirling slash build. I’m curious if a) whirlwind picks up ailment magnitude from the ground effect and b) if anyone has tried Beira’s Anguish to generate ground for whirlwinds/twisters

[midnight bolt]

is sundering armor debuff scale with %effect of broken armor?

[true shell]

I mean, ggg just made a video on it I think you're pretty boned in that regard

[true shell]

Makes me wonder if its worth bothering with at all depending on what it is or isnt triggering. It feels like its helping with the clear but its so hard to tell cause things are dying so fast that it would only be ticking once or twice if at all

most of the clear is just shattering palm + herald of ice (I honestly am not 100% that this is even doing anything but when I turn it off it seems noticeable despite nothing getting frozen most of the time)

[eternal mountain]

Is it possible to get Path of Building to show my damage with my 3 totems slamming on my fissures?

[true shell]

I'm not familiar with this build but usually there's a way to fenagle stuff like that by ticking the include in full dps + fiddling with things in the skill section and custom config

if its not already in the config

[mental briar]

Thats fine for me too I can maybe sell my high rolled 3 socket lament for some good money I guess once im bored of it

Only bought it for 1 div so got lucky lol

[eternal mountain]

I could totally have been doing it wrong but I tried a few things. clicking show full DPS didn't change damage numbers. I'll keep messing round but not sure how it's going to know about environmental position of skills so thought I'd try asking.

[true shell]

Or you can be like me and hoard everything you've ever used or might use and let it shit up your stash

[mental briar]

Naa I play more than 2 chars I dont have the luxury of hoarding

I need money

The issue with multiple chars is you only generate one source of income but have 3x the costs potentially

[true shell]

it doesnt change the numbers it just shows it at the bottom of your totals on the left and that lets you see multiple things together assuming damage is coming from different sources

[eternal mountain]

ahh okay, I'll recheck

[true shell]

For example if I have ice strike and charged staff it only shows them individually at the top but if I include in full dps then when I scroll down I can see what the damage of both is together

[true shell]

Thas not really an issue though cause normally you finish a toon and then use it to generate income for the next toon which makes you rapidly progress it or even finish it before its started

[mental briar]

I play multiple at once

I get bored of one char really quickly

Especially with the way the current endgame is

[serene minnow]

why cant i assign these weapon set skill 4 points

[eternal mountain]

how poor are you?

[daring veldt]

Hey! how much budget do i need to make bloodmage work and be able to do t15 content and farm currency?

[hidden siren]

u need 4 skill points to use them they arent free they just allow u to use weapon sets with skill points

[serene minnow]

but dont i have 4 available right now ?

[hidden siren]

no u have 0 literally in your screen shot

u need to remove 4 passive points to use them as weapon points

[serene minnow]

ah i see

[midnight bolt]

Does fortifying cry benefit from +1 attack empowered nodes?

it doesnt mentione any empowerment only shield waves

[hidden siren]

is it tagged as an attack?

[river frigate]

Anyone doing the dead eye twister can tell me if it's good for bossing?

[midnight bolt]

its a warcry that question is it count as if it empowers shield attacks or not

[carmine flicker]

any idea what good can I get from prefix on belt?

no base mods are any good

[quiet linden]

Does Amanamu's Gaze in Boots mean that for example the Movement Speed stat on my boots has no effect?

[celest blaze]

correct. Nor chilled ground, onslaught, the Hare Foot buff in Sekhema trial, etc

[quiet linden]

With the amount of Temporal Chains and Chilled Ground I might actually consider it then...

[tranquil wagon]

guys whats the best build to go with for witch ? as a new player here

[solar spindle]

is there any way to chill enemies in your presense?

[tranquil wagon]

me!

[carmine flicker]

temp chains will still work tho

or at least should
but may be I'm wrong

[quiet linden]

To me this is an indicator that we need to get rid of it. 30% feeling like 80%.

[high warren]

If I had kalandras touch and Original sin would orginal sin do 200% of elemental dmg converted to chaos or would it do literally nothing. im curious because I have Kaladnras touch and was wondering if that would work

[celest blaze]

i fill like it would prevent movement speed decreasing, but... temp chains is weird so who knows

[pale jewel]

Guys im following lazyexile tactician ballista build and I ve come across some weird stuff. Yesterday I was able to use mirage archer only assigned to one wep set, then change weapon set and mirage archer would still stay, but now it doesnt and its driving me nuts

anyone had a similar thing happen? my attribute requirements are met and I have enough spirit

every skill is set to the correct weapon set

[carmine flicker]

yeah, they are bad mod
not dangerous in any way, but so damn annoying

[glass minnow]

Does taking Sacrifice of Blood twice stack?

[minor tree]

does anyone know how much is base mana regen?

[carmine flicker]

4% of your mana

[minor tree]

thank you ❤️

how big is lich's 6% regen from life, if trying to maximize regen 🤔

compared to just mana regen and max mana

[mental briar]

Surely they need to buff fire spell on melee hit to be equivalent to thundergod's wrath. It feels like fire variant is so bad, costs mana and does 200% less damage than thunder variant

[carmine flicker]

depends on your mana and life, lol

[minor tree]

i'm gonna do a silly indigon build, it's decided, but idk if i should go witch (lich shenanigans), sorceress (stormweaver for surge or chrono for time stop), or titan

[minor tree]

goal is to have the highest regen possible for indigon

i've checked the market, items i want are literally all 1-5 ex with T1-T2 rolls since nobody wants them lol

[quiet linden]

Annoying mostly, but sometimes it gets you killed, because they slow everything, not just your ms.

[carmine flicker]

well
with lich you want to stack life
not smth you want with indigon

[minor tree]

indigon only wants mana regen, so i can stack life and mana regen with just enough max mana to be able to cast

[carmine flicker]

well, literally nothing get me killed, but yeah, 30% less action speed could hurt

[high warren]

does orginal sin stack with kalandras touch. im curious

[carmine flicker]

I mean, when you stack life you want atziri disdain on lich
and that's, well, helmet

[minor tree]

nah bye atziri

[carmine flicker]

so better not go lich

also I'd go for cheap/free main skill with the ability to quicly ramp up cost/increses with expensive spell

[minor tree]

yep plan is to use tempest + whatever and then incinerate

with +999999% increased spell damage from indigon

or, doedre's undoing with a low level curse gem (so i want int)

[mental briar]

Imagine they introduce a tecrods version of mana regen

People gonna break the game

[minor tree]

i will be ready

[carmine flicker]

I meant like, idk, chaos bolt or firebolt or smth + cast on X
so cast on X ramped up things, but when you have not enough mana you didn't lost much

or undoing with lvl 3 curse, ye

[minor tree]

or stuff like reap

solar orb is now free too

lol stormweaver +1 limit, plus the +1 max orb node

balls

[carmine flicker]

also decide what to spend points in tree

since you don't need damage at all

[minor tree]

if going chrono, regen and slows

idea being i spend and the slows keep me alive to crispify my enemies with incinerate

[carmine flicker]

actually
actually you gave me a really interesting idea, man.. thx
I need to ponder it

[minor tree]

and lets me focus on ignite magnitude

[carmine flicker]

can I PM you?

[minor tree]

anytime

even hit a not ideal but very decent corrupted indigon too with 2 sockets

i'm so ready

melting maelstrom for infinite damage

Hol up

30% less cost

[mental briar]

You could use something socketed in a mjolner since it costs no mana

and still benefits from all the scaling if you wanna release it

on like set 2

[minor tree]

well the goal will be to minimize the costs as much as possible to get indigon really fired up, the stats requirement to get everything going will be insane if i try with mjolner

[mental briar]

yh true the thing is giga expensive lol

200 stats

[minor tree]

gem studded is legit insane for indigon

[solar spindle]

how does rising tempest support gem work for skills that have all 3 elemental tags? does it just count for all 3?

[wintry venture]

hi is this channel a good place to get advice on what class to pick? i'm worried about just "picking what i like the aesthetic of" and getting to maps and hating all the actually strong options for builds

thousands of hours in poe1. about 130 hours in poe 2 when the EA launched. In poe 1 i enjoyed builds where the damage was kind of autonomous. like storm brand and volatile dead. i don't enjoy the lich/army of minions playstyle, i prefer spells or projectiles (i know volatile dead was technically minions but functionally they were more like spells)

i know i want to play sorc, witch, huntress, or ranger

[uncut bay]

yeah, this is suitable channel for that. you are picking a weapon and possibly skills, not a class. if you want spells and projectiles then blood mage spark is the meta right now, but I personally play and recommend blood mage frostbolt

[wintry venture]

thanks. my partner suggested an essence drain build that looks kind of fun. might do that

i played spark during the first ea league so want something different

essence drain looks pretty on the screen too

[wintry venture]

are the ascendancies not that strict anymore?

[uncut bay]

you can switch between ascendancies within the same class

I only meant that you were talking about weapons and skills, not classes

[wintry venture]

oh right. what i hoping for was advice on which classes had good synergy and options for playstyles that were similar to those weapons and skills i mentioned

but it's moot anyway because i might just say fk it and go with this essence drain lich

now just to pick a name. the final boss in any rpg

thanks for listening to me ramble and flail about picking. it's my least favorite part of playing poe

KendraMorrigan the witch. thanks for being my sounding board, build-planning channel

[olive frigate]

how can i know that when i am going to disenchant an item / break it into shards that I will get TWO shards instead of ONE?

[tranquil merlin]

lvl 95 ed/contagion lich here looking to re-spec into bloodmage for higher dps and faster pinnacle clear, what are some things I should know before i start this process? any and all inpur apprecaited.\

[stiff lantern]

Does becoming an Abyssal lich make a difference to any builds that are using normal lich ascendancy atm?

[cold willow]

Hello i want to play a warrior with a 2 hand weapon which is also not dying on an instant which ascendancy build should i follow ?

[chilly swan]

For Smith of Kitava, what does everyone normally take as first two points? I was leaning toward 25% phys as fire and 75 fire res, but, wasn't sure what's best.

[minor tree]

How does black flame covenant interact with flame archon?

Since it says I can't do spell damage outside of fire, I guess 0 damage output?

[quiet linden]

Does the Quality of Comet have any effect if it's on Cast on Ailment or Cast on Critical?

[uncut bay]

ofc, yes

[minor tree]

if i cast a spell (eg: firestorm, flame wall) and then increase my spell damage, will it be applied to the spell already cast?

[leaden heart]

is there any warrior build that does NOT use constricting command??

[slim spoke]

so is there just literally no way other than summoning zombies to "consume" power charges for amazon?

[magic pier]

what do people usually want on their rubies suffix?

[stiff lantern]

Can someone who play Lich ED Contagion and doesnt use a withered wand tell me how they apply withered stacks and how the boss fights go without chaos bolt?

[sand juniper]

i cant find any heart of the Well unique jewel, all sold out or i'm searching the wrong name?

[atomic halo]

charge regulation, abiding hex?

you can also expend on offhand with qs if you figure that out

i guess they removed the support that consumes power charges for crit?

[tall dune]

Please help

Guys what's the best upgrade I can get for 5divs for a deadeye build. Is there any jewel? Looking towards jewels cos upgraded rest.

La deadeye.

[atomic halo]

that question can't be answered without knowledge of what exactly your build looks like

[tall dune]

https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/d1d9

This is my build. Please help. I am a newbie so would really appreciate some opinion

[slim spoke]

i was thinking charge regulation, but if you want it to be consistent you'd have to reduce the duration of it significantly to be worth while which kinda goes against what the skills is ment to do.

[tall dune]

I linked it now. Ty

[slim spoke]

abiding hex is a good idea though too, didnt see that ty

[carmine flicker]

How much duration is too much for spark?

[empty torrent]

is it possible to search for affixes on the internet and see on what items they can appear?

[long mist]

I’m really bored of essence drain lich build, any advice for another good build? Even with another ascendancy its ok

[stiff lantern]

i mean its personal preference, look on mobalytics, poe ninja or maxroll for builds that look interesting and find a video of their gameplay to see if it looks fun to you

[carmine flicker]

What do you want from build?

If you want witch I can throw some ideas I guess

[lofty fox]

I chose titan as my ascendency, but I think warbringer would be better right if trying to do a build that does damage based on block % right?
But then again I am at a very weird point with my build, I like where it's going, I chose titan because I'm doing big aoe damage with shield wall, shield charge/sunder, but I'm kinda stuck on how to bring my boss damage up... And how to maximize this... I want to stun the boss then nuke the ever living crap out of them, but it feels pretty underwhelming as of now, maybe I'm too early, (just start of act 4...)

[carmine flicker]

Shield wall is one of the best boss damage setup now tbh

[lofty fox]

Yeah so how do I improve it? Like my tree has a lot of aoe size/damage, so clearing is quite good for where I am but yeah, bosses seem underwhelming right now not sure what I'm doing wrong.

[carmine flicker]

Well
What's your main hand weapon?

[lofty fox]

Just hit on this with some exalts today and boosted my damage by a ton. But I thought shield wall scales on shield not main weapon. This helped my sunder a TON.

[carmine flicker]

Shield wall is melee skill and scales with levels

Also decide if you go weapon skills like sunder or shield ones

[lofty fox]

So I'd want as much + to all skills or something like that right

[carmine flicker]

Yeah
Also warcry

Fortifying cry

[lofty fox]

Feels like so much set up, so warcry, fortifying cry, drop wall, shield charge?

[carmine flicker]

fortifying cry is warcry, lol

against bosses you drop 2 shield walls and explode them with warcry (fortifying cry)

it will also buff your next shield charge or two

and ofc high armour shield

[lofty fox]

I felt like when I did it that way, it was less damage then just shield charging through it?

[carmine flicker]

you want to generate endurance charges too, to be able to use warcry often

are you gems lvled up and properly supported? cause walls damage is huge

[lofty fox]

I have brutality 2, rapid attacks 1 and magnified area 2

[carmine flicker]

area 2 reduce damage
rapid attack "do literally nothing"

[lofty fox]

I'm still super confused on the whole endurance charge stuff and how to use them properly, (so I usually jsut avoid anything that says taht stuff) lol

[lofty fox]

It places the wall faster, without it the damn thing is so slow to place lol

[carmine flicker]

you need attack speed from items or tree

using support for that is waste of potential

[lofty fox]

Hmmm, I was thinking about doing that actually... I also think that this skill cluster might be a waste because I feel like I'm full hp a lot but I also feel like a lot of the time I take some small chip damage and it gets wasted. But wehn I am full hp this thing shreds so don't wanna take it off lol

[carmine flicker]

30% increased isn't that big anyway

[alpine basin]

So, i’m playing this build, and what you want to do is maximize both fortifying cry AND shield walls damage with your weapon set skill points.

Shield wave from fortifying cry triggers off shield wall explosions and does a ton of damage.

[lofty fox]

I'm confused on how the interaction works, should I do the cry, then drop wall, and shield charge through it?

[alpine basin]

Also, secret (probably not actually but i like to think so) tech for shield wall if you play blood magic is get a very high charge mana flask, and use ambrosia. It can give up 75% lightning as extra damage

[lofty fox]

Or explode wall with the cry

[alpine basin]

Cry, wall, cry

shield charge isn’t needed at all

But can be used to pop them.

[lofty fox]

Ugh i don't even know where to start tbh...

[alpine basin]

If you’re not warbringer and need a second cry for cooldown purposes infernal cry is great

What is confusing?

[lofty fox]

I'm playing titan. - The confusing part would be respeccing and changing up my entire playstyle. I wanted to do the one where I do 50% more damage to stunned enemies. But I did that and even when bosses are stunned, I just feel like I'm not doing as much damage as I should.

But clearing is amazing, I've specced heavily into area damage/size.

[tall dune]

Any help?

[lofty fox]

Shredding clearing but only at start of act 4 so yeah.

And fel unkillable

[alpine basin]

You don’t really have to respec anything, unless you want to add more damage to warcrys, which is good endgame but if you’re act 4 i wouldn’t worry about it

[orchid pelican]

is the pob trade thing broken? every time i put in my session ID it just goes back to no session

[lofty fox]

I see, what suppors did you have on shield charge around act 4 if you can remember?

[alpine basin]

I hate shield charge. Never used it

[minor tree]

Does anyone know if skills like flame wall, flame orb, firestorm, etc are snapshotted on cast or if gaining/losing spell damage over the duration will have an effect?

[lofty fox]

Oh I've been using it a ton tbh. lol

Plop wall down shield charge through it clears really good so far, but good chance I'm not doing as much damage as I could be.

[alpine basin]

That’s fine. I just really dislike shield charge.

Make sure to weave in your warcry against bosses. HUGE part if your damage

[lofty fox]

I haven't really been even using a warcry!

[minor tree]

Note that fortifying cry will proc multiple times when popping shield wall

Big damage

[carmine flicker]

why not just endurance charge on armour break and that should be enough?

[minor tree]

Also use infernal cry before shield wall to make it count as empowered and gain % fire damage

[lofty fox]

Fortifying cry I just thought was a guard boost. Proc what multiple times?

[minor tree]

It makes shield skills do an aoe attack

[carmine flicker]

proc "triggered attack" from cry

[lofty fox]

The cooldown of it drove me nuts so I kinda stopped using it.

[carmine flicker]

what would you think, shield experts, btw, would 700 armour shield be enough for endgame?

[minor tree]

Resonating shield when dealing with fodder, then shield wall for single target with fortifying cry to proc it like 6 times instantly

[lofty fox]

I will try it next time on a boss. cry drop wall, shield charge, because I don't have more than one charge.

[minor tree]

Ehh

[carmine flicker]

can't get ar/es shield with more armour, sadly

[minor tree]

I have a 700 armor shield and it's from the campaign...

[lofty fox]

Really??? I had no idea it does that. I didn't know it procs the explosion of the wall multiple times.

[minor tree]

Other way around, the wall procs fortifying cry multiple times

[lofty fox]

How do you get more charges of fortifying cry

[carmine flicker]

cry near big pack of mobs or near bosses

[minor tree]

There are a few nodes on the tree, or scream at bosses

[lofty fox]

Let me test real quick.

[carmine flicker]

I just want to make "banshee"
warcry based lich
but it's ES-based char with no way around it

so ar/es shield

[minor tree]

Vs bosses it gives me 6 charges rn, popping it with fortifying uses all 6

So rotation for max damage is infernal, shield wall, shield wall, fortifying, repeat

[lofty fox]

See like there, just tried it on a mob of like 20 skellies, the cry still had a cool down, definitely didn't give me another charge

[carmine flicker]

how much damage do you do per rotation?

[carmine flicker]

man, read a bit how warcry works please

[minor tree]

I have trash poopoo gear, I wouldn't know but I can 2-3 shot bosses usually

For max damage you want the fissure gems

Note also that the weapon is useless for damage calculations so it can be a stat stick

[carmine flicker]

when you warcry you gain charges
when you attack you lose one(or more) of them to empower attack

when you "pop" shield wall it's an attack and it eat fortifying cry charges

to do even more damage

[carmine flicker]

sceptre

[minor tree]

Guiding palm moment

[carmine flicker]

either palm or skelly one

15% increased melee damage per skelly

[minor tree]

Or tactical switch for guaranteed crit by using an endurance charge

[silent elm]

Does anyone know what ascendancy people are using for dreamer/chaos builds?

[carmine flicker]

nah, abyssal lich need spirit sadly

[carmine flicker]

chaos - usually lich

[minor tree]

But yeah not having 900+ armor on shield hurts DMG quite a bit

So ymmv

[silent elm]

Okay! Is the new one viable with it or just old one?

[lofty fox]

Sorry, I did read but was still confused, that makes more sense though now. So in order to not go on immediate cooldown, I would need something from the passive tree right

[carmine flicker]

I have around 300k DPS currently
it's enough, but want more

[minor tree]

Easiest way is to slap armor break on resonating shield

[carmine flicker]

you need endurance charges or rage

you can use supports that make it consume rage and get rage somewhere

works too

[minor tree]

Also boop, in case anyone knows

[carmine flicker]

what build do you want to do?

[silent elm]

I'm not quite sure. I am trying to figure out if the abyssal lich is viable for a chaos build basically

[lofty fox]

Dang I don't have any support gems, sry y'all I'm big noob trying to wrap my head around all of this lol

[carmine flicker]

totems are snapshotted, idk about orbs

[carmine flicker]

it is, at least for few of them

I play chaos abyssal lich

[silent elm]

Oh, nice! I'll try that then. I mostly just wanted to make sure before I do my first ascendancy. Thank you

[carmine flicker]

you can't choose abyssal lich as ascendancy

you need to kill hard boss for it

you are normal lich first

[silent elm]

oh I thought you had to choose lich then ascend to it - so I just wait and don't ascend?

[silent elm]

Oh, okay. That's what I thought. I just didn't want to choose lich then end up needing to be infernalist

[minor tree]

If I were still at my desk I'd hop in and just send you one

But I g2g

[lofty fox]

Thanks for ur help bro

[minor tree]

You'll find one in no time, dw

[lofty fox]

I basically learned that warcry's are way more important than I thought, will do more research haha

[carmine flicker]

I can give you 10-15 uncut supports

they are worthless anyway

[minor tree]

I've also used the skill gem that detonates broken armor on infernal cry since early game and never took it out

[lofty fox]

That'd be nice! I'm always low on them.

[carmine flicker]

no, no
you want to use palm of the dreamer tho?

[lofty fox]

I do have that on resonating shield right now.

[carmine flicker]

do you have it already?
it's expensive

[minor tree]

Make sure it doesn't prevent a skill from breaking armor itself x)

[carmine flicker]

what's your char name?

PM me

[lofty fox]

Uh, I guess I'm a little confused because fortifying cry doesn't have an armor break component to it, so why would you use it on that?

[lofty fox]

ok one sec

[true nymph]

I keep dying on my build.

[carmine flicker]

elaborate please

[elfin nymph]

Hi. Random question here:

In the long run, at their max potentials respectfully, which is stronger: Exposure or Elemental Weakness Curse

[carmine flicker]

you do both or neither

but curse is stronger per se

[elfin nymph]

Im just looking for which one is going to lower resistance the most by itself.

[carmine flicker]

by itself they both are useless

unless you go ignite I guess

[elfin nymph]

I was thinking an all elements build and which would work best

[carmine flicker]

I mean, why do you have to choose?

[elfin nymph]

I just don't think ill have enough nodes left to really pour out for both. My friend showed me what he had to do for curse on weapon set 2. Lot of nodes.

[carmine flicker]

well. You do both, always. And invest..
you basically want stripped defences node

[elfin nymph]

I just switched from the frost bomb to the curse, and i really don't like it, but im told its supposed to be better. Most things just walk out, and my damage doesn't look like its going up half as much as it did with the frost bomb. Buuut the effect does last longer, and i see the nodes, there are lots, more those than exposure nodes. Also isn't frost bomb the only way to apply exposure other than support gems?

[carmine flicker]

well, you do bomb and curse together

[elfin nymph]

Ok

[carmine flicker]

also - curse nodes are mostly meh

[elfin nymph]

Mmm

Ill take another look and see if i can pick good ones

Back to work for now

[carmine flicker]

master of hexes is good

most efficient way would be master of hexes+stripped defences for bomb+curse

[restive ocean]

when does mortar warbringer start getting not good?

[calm lava]

Anyone know if it's possible to stack enough "Remnants can be collected from further away" for Into The Breach so that you instantly grab them the moment they spawn?

There's 55% on the tree, 100% from Harmonic Remnants II support, and I know you can get 50% from Grand Tribute (Undying Hate notable)

[carmine flicker]

hmm
should I sacrifice like 12% of my tankiness for 30% more damage(or smth like that anyway)

[frozen knot]

Always damage

Always smash

[daring prism]

Might make an archer. Is this a decent bow for it?

[formal silo]

is there a way for casters to get mana on hit?

[wide hull]

https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/hypocraties-2979/character/BigMcMack

any improvements i can make?

[alpine basin]

I’ve heard it’s pretty good into end game 🤷‍♂️

[uncut trout]

To anyone playing titan, what health do you have rn?

[calm lava]

OK I can confirm that there's not enough pickup range in the game right now to instantly collect remnants from Into The Breach. It looks like it's pretty close though, one more boost would probably do it

Rip 5 divs spent testing this though 😢

[static plinth]

Do you have the desecrated weapon mod?

Also you do not need allat

[calm lava]

There's a weapon mod with it? Which type?

oh shoot it shows up on amulets and rings???

!!! It uh, sort of half works!

That's hilarious. Also impractical, given that I it looks like it maybe only attracts one in three or four remnants

[calm lava]

ty for the suggestion!

[static plinth]

O i got it on the Unborn Lich so i guess that can roll any desecrated mod

[orchid pelican]

is the pob trade thing broken? every time i put in my session ID it just goes back to no session

[mental briar]

Check if the tool tip in game when you click it shows the radius

Because the breach radius seems very big ngl

[long mist]

Sorry the super late reply. Btw something not too slow like chaos build, a little bit tanky aswell, something like crossbow lich maybe, but idk if I want to do that build.
Even something with bloodmage it’s ok eventually

[calm lava]

It doesn't, from what I can see. It spawns "nearby", which means I can't scale the generation radius at all

[uncut bay]

search builds on youtube and poe2ninja

[viral sage]

any campaign speedrun build like rake during 0.2?

[uncut bay]

lightning arrow and gas arrow

[viral sage]

what support gem to put on gas arrow?

[quiet forge]

anyone know what the issue is with ice strike and leech? having a ton of AS on it just brutalizes your mana bar

storm wave costs less does more damage and is a lot safer

what gives?

[polar wraith]

i just got this staff and was wondering would a blood mage or lich be good for it i really wanna make a build using it

[mental briar]

Doesnt have area tag only persistent and remnant meaning only those. 2 types of supports affect it

[mental briar]

It seems pretty good for blood mage but the thing is itll never be good enough because poe2 made spell skills scale exponentially

Meaning +8 level spell skills on wand and +3 focus probably beats that entire staff in stats

[minor tree]

I don't remember the gem in detail rn, but it likely prevents the skill from breaking armor itself (or else it'd be busted)

So if you have it on resonating shield it'll never proc

[real zinc]

Wait Gemling Hollow Palm Int stacker. Evasion. You can literally just go mind over matter

I need mroe gold to test all this

[white relic]

Can anyone tell me how I can get Herald of Thunder to correctly show up in PoBs full dps calc?

[real zinc]

did u tikc enemy is shocked?

[white relic]

Even with it selected under skills to be included in full dps it doesn't add anything

Uuuh, where can I find that? 😄 still kinda new to pob

[real zinc]

configuratrion

[white relic]

Okay soi that increased the dps on LA and herald itself, but it's still not added to the full calc

[real zinc]

Yeah i dont sue it so much

cant help you a lot

[plucky tendon]

whats a good sanctum farming build?

[real zinc]

everything thats moving fast

Evasion also helps a lot. You cna then jsut run through a lot of traps

[steady breach]

anybody knows, if i barrage a snipe for the icy blast that consumes freeze
do the repeats use the icy blast dmg, or just the explosion dmg ?

[foggy edge]

has anyone played both ice strike monk and summon lich ? my basic 3d ice striker clears screen, but the fps cost is immense, goes from 70 to 25-35 with all the shattering effects, so i was wondering, is minion fps just as bad? thats the only question about minion lich build i have 😄

[elfin nymph]

Yo i heard somewhere about Sorcerers using a necklace that grants energy shield per mana. How does that work with the Eldritch Battery (think thats the one) that turns energy sheild into mana?

Like my energy sheild becomes mana which should also determine how much energy sheild.

[solid sphinx]

eb and the amulet adds "additional mana/es" which is not taken into calculations for conversion

[dawn saddle]

does this affect totems or only me ? Like, if I have 10 totems, do the totems gain the 100% damage as well ?

[carmine flicker]

Totems use your offensive stats do ye

[dawn saddle]

did you try it ? How confident are you ? Because I don't think I saw other people using this node on totem builds, and if I use it, it would be with liquid emotions, which aren't that cheap

because the idea of my build could have up to 100-150 totems at once, and this node would change everything if it works or not

[carmine flicker]

I didn't try THIS node
But attack speed per totem node did work

[dawn saddle]

the issue is that the attack speed ones specifies that totems gain the attack speed, not us

[carmine flicker]

Hmm
Then you have to try
How expensive those emotions are anyway?

[dawn saddle]

would be around 80 exalt I think for the 3

but otherwise ig I'll try by spending 9 points temporarily to get the node directly

just don't have any gold to respec rn x)

[carmine flicker]

Gold is easy

What's your level?

[dawn saddle]

68 rn, just finished the campaign, wanted to refund to make a totem build but ran out of gold

• buying weapons in trade cost me quite a lot of gold as well

[carmine flicker]

Then you will get those nodes soon enough just by leveling

[dawn saddle]

I don't think I really can rn, I still need some more gold to at least finish to refund the old passives for my build to be playable

and btw, why do people use 2h maces instead of 1h ones ? You can get more total dps and +8lvls instead of +6

[carmine flicker]

I can help you with gold if you wait a bit

Open you to vaults unique map

You could taken tons of gold and rares to sell

(My currency and uniques, your everything else)

[cold willow]

Hello i am a new player and want to play a warrior. which build type exist other than the totem spam with the big fire hit.

[runic creek]

Why would I want to give ice crystals more life? doesn't say anything in the explosion about the hp of the crystal converting to damage

[midnight geode]

guys when a hit is lucky, does it apply to crit chance too?

[uncut bay]

it does actually, in one support

[runic creek]

you mean this one?

it's a tier 3 support and the support to give ice crystals more life is a tier 2

doesn't make sense to me

[uncut bay]

yes

[shut blaze]

Quick question, does anyone know if there is a bug with elemental storm? For some reason I can't use support gems on it.

[shut blaze]

Nvm, looks like I have to cut the gem first before I can slot it in.

[frozen needle]

Has anyone checked if rage on hit will work with active block while the glancing hit notable is allocated?

[carmine flicker]

well

14-16k ES, 600k DPS, 7-8k constant recharge, all screen one button clear
I don't think I can make it better, time to drop league

sad

[timid aurora]

What build or class is easy to gear atm for a new player . Didn't get much time to play so I'm still lvl 50

[timid aurora]

Meanwhile I think I have been price out of everything for staring late lol

And probably shouldn't continue

Fun game

[upbeat fern]

Darkness Enthroned Fine Belt Body armour not working with Iron Rune ?

[subtle vigil]

Darkness Enthroned doesn't have any defensive stats to scale. It doesn't effect your body Armour, it acts as a body Armour for purposes of rune effects

[upbeat fern]

Understandable thank i understasnd now lol

[timid aurora]

Any good budget warrior build for interlude

[iron harbor]

Actually no, sure, the bis gear is super expensive, but you can get a little worse replaced gear or failed crafts for pennies, getting very good t15 viable character is actually super cheap now

[timid aurora]

Ahh nice.

What's a good build to start out end game as Titan ? That isn't too pricey

[north heart]

What’s the best warrior build right now? Been seeing a lot of variants

[vagrant nacelle]

is the lightning spear deadeye from last season not viable anymore or why is everyone playing lightning arrow?

[hidden siren]

still viable

[hidden siren]

la is just easier

[plush kiln]

how do i build monks to not be so squishy

feels like if i dont go for damage only i cant kill anything and i still die pretty quick but if i go damage only then the one enemy i dont kill instantly kills me instantly

its not even a monk exclusive problem for me, any character really. if i go for damage i get killed in one hit, and if i dont i still die fast but i also cant kill anything

[vague obsidian]

is there a warroir build that easy to learn .. one or two buttons?

[ripe river]

guys how big is -2 projectile skill lvl difference?

[orchid narwhal]

Do you actually need an active companion for Inspiring Ally to work?

[icy flame]

guys is there anyone here playing blood mage and is having the same bug ? the 1% crit dmg per 50life isnt working for some reason, if anyone have a fix or can tell me what is making this bug send me msg pls 😄

[vivid kiln]

Can someone tell me if what can i take instead of Deliberation for Lightning Spear on this build ?

https://poe.ninja/poe2/builds/abyss/character/Savaof2-1878/ДепутатскаяДочь?i=2&search=class%3DAmazon%26skills%3DLightning%2BSpear%252CHerald%2Bof%2BThunder%252CElemental%2BSurge%252CPrimal%2BStrikes%252C!Barrage

I don't like the slowness

[orchid narwhal]

I answered my own question by checking lol. Yes, you need an active companion.

[unreal zinc]

Can u expain to me the difference between citical hit chat and critical spell chance for a spell caster? are hit base spells affected by both? if i want to have the highest crit chance with an impact spell what should i am for?

[unreal zinc]

An is crit change max cap at 100%?

[atomic halo]

yes

[atomic halo]

same thing

(unless it's a local mod on a martial weapon, but i assume as a caster you are not wielding a martial weapon)

[alpine basin]

Shield wall warbringer!

Literally 2 buttons: fortifying cry, and shield wall.

Downside is to do pinnacle bosses you really want to gem swap, not a huge deal, but worth mentioning.

I should post my build on mobalytics or something. Finally feel like it’s “complete”

Recently figured out a way to hit both surround wheels, with time-lost rubies covering them, all the move speed nodes and not sacrifice any of the damage or defense nodes i wanted. It’s feeling GOOD

Such good tech on warbringer that i feel is slept on, or i’m not seeing anyone else use on similar builds i check out 🤷‍♂️

[plush kiln]

whats even the point of this channel it feels like everyone is always only asking questions and no ones answering them

[atomic halo]

you can see me answer two questions two messages above

and below that, another question also being answered

[atomic halo]

atp it's mostly just stacking a lot of es

medidate with overflow if invoker

[plush kiln]

i wanna try building towards stacking volatility with the hand of chayula passive that makes you immune to its damage

ive been trying to stack es but it just doesnt ever feel like i have enough, like im always behind the curve of how much i should have

[unreal zinc]

So just to clarify, if my gloves give 50% critical chance for HITS and my wand gives 50% critical chance for my SPELLS my hit spells have 100% crit chance?

[hidden siren]

no

it just means 100% increased from base

[grave mesa]

Is there a good deadeye snipe/spiral volley build this season, or is it pretty much just lightning arrow?

[static plinth]

Does anyone have suggestions for Witchhunter builds? Ive been playing Lightning Arrow and while it's effective its kinda boring

I was thinking something Poison or Bleed since i think Zealous Inquisition should be able to do both

[left citrus]

Are we able to Knockback bosses now since there are bonuses on skills for Unique enemies for it now?

[atomic halo]

100% increased, yes

[light fractal]

waggle did a shattering palm build, looked pretty cool and off-meta

[formal silo]

Does anyone know the support you put into high velocity rounds to make it shoot like a semi machine gun?

[static plinth]

That does sound pretty slick

[static plinth]

Isnt that just what it does when you have +Bolts?

[formal silo]

nah I remember leveling last season with it and it would like double shoot like a semi but can not figure out the combo it was very early in the campaign and can not find the guide

[fluid pier]

Anyone have a build for ranger deadeye ?

[median beacon]

Heya o/ Does anyone know if Frost Mages (the skeletons) are still viable in end-game as a main damaging minion? I'd like to play a minion build, but I don't like the meta spectres

[carmine flicker]

ehh, find some heavy off meta

[mental briar]

Maybe because not everyone has all the answers?

You can also check Google or Ctrl F on this chat

[plush kiln]

im not saying that im just thinking about how it just seems unbalanced with so many people asking questions and not a lot of knowledgeable people here to answer them

[atomic halo]

be the change you want to see in the world

[plush kiln]

shit i got no idea whats going on

[atomic halo]

there is subtlety between "nobody answers anything" and "everything is answered instantly"

[mental briar]

The game is also very vague with a lot of things tbf, devs dont tell us a lot

[restive ocean]

What builds are still doable for a new player, most stuff on youtube is way out of bounds now

100+div

[atomic halo]

we can have a in-between that emerges as a result of the game being complex and somewhat opaque

[mental briar]

Like im pretty sure the devs havent announced any drop rates or anything of the like

[atomic halo]

yeah a lot of questions like that still nobody has any idea

[plush kiln]

there isnt a way to look at the code or something?

[mental briar]

And probably many other things too, in a hopes players just figure stuff out themselves

[atomic halo]

ggg can easily hide stuff from datamine

[plush kiln]

i see

[atomic halo]

including by putting stuff server-side

poe1 has been around for over a decade and we still dont know the drop rate of a wisdom scroll

[plush kiln]

no shot

[mental briar]

I also feel like its partially because if they do change something without someone knowing, noone can really complain because we never knew the official stuff in the first place

Like they could buff scroll of wisdom drop rates by 1000% but any player with a loot filter will never see it🤣

[atomic halo]

any league starter that was applicable at the start of the league is still fine now

[restive ocean]

how do i make the build into end game with the current prices tho?

just farm few months?

[atomic halo]

one exalt at a time

you dont actually need hundred div builds to beat pinnacles

the game isn't actually that hard

[restive ocean]

I saw some guy said good mace 100 div

[atomic halo]

i assure you that you can do pinnacles on a 1 div mace and oneshot them with a 10 div mace

[mental briar]

You can try profit crafting but I bricked like 10 pieces costing many divines so I gave up😂

Lament lich is probably the cheapest one rn, Although poe youtube channel did post a video on it so inflation may be here
