2┃build-planning

[atomic halo]

that build is somewhat inflated now

[mental briar]

It cost me like 200 ex for when I got everything

And I cleared all t4 bosses and t15 maps fine

[atomic halo]

you're fighting ghosts that dont exist

[mental briar]

I got bored of maps so havent done any t16 stuff

[atomic halo]

the game is not that hard, you dont need items that expensive to do any of the content in the game

[mental briar]

The biggest issue with the game imo is not all classes have the same survivability options

[atomic halo]

atp 100 div mace is only better than 10 div mace in pob

[restive ocean]

oh okay

[mental briar]

Like ES is super cheap to get good value out of, whereas evasion and armour you gotta invest a lot of points and money into gear to even get remotely any value

[gusty timber]

does minion pact work with living lightning

if so, almost any build with some lightning dmg on a secondary payload can use minion pact

[toxic hawk]

anyone got a new build suggestion? my favirote build was the attribute staker gemling for his spead but doesn't seem to be possible this patch

[fluid pier]

Is fubguns deadeye ranger build worth investing in ?

[atomic halo]

yes

[unreal zinc]

ah right, incresed, but if I open the spell details in the gem tab and it says 100% crit chance, then thats the max.

[atomic halo]

by default you cannot go over 100% yes

[carmine flicker]

Well, build can't be cheap, good and well known
It's two at most

[carmine flicker]

Es also give higher return at extreme investment too
Waaaay higher

[gusty timber]

i wouldn't say thats true, if you want stuff that works well on low budget look at hcssf ladder

[carmine flicker]

Low budget and ssf are really different things

Some uniques cost 1 ex, but are unreliable to get in ssf, so won't be there

Like gl going doedre undoing in ssf
It's 4 ex support that you won't ever get yourself, really, if you need it, except by trade

[leaden heart]

https://poe.ninja/poe2/builds/abyss/character/Alexandrina-1203/CopeSeetheMald?i=1&search=class%3DTitan%26sort%3Ddps

can someone tell me if this is a good build to try?

[copper falcon]

Can you run 2 cast on crit gems at the same time in 0.3?

[solar walrus]

elemental conflux or trinity? i can maintain about 200 stacks for trinity with cold and lightning

[bold oxide]

no

[indigo pilot]

just got this, how would i go about getting myself ignited? i'm guessing through ignited ground maps

[frozen knot]

Self immolation keystone

Ignites you cause are reflected back at you

[west wharf]

does anyone know how different "gain as" modifiers interact with each other? i'm assuming they're all additive with each other?

i.e. if i have like 50% damage gained as physical from atalui's bloodletting, that would not interact with, say, 75% damage gained as lightning from ambrosia correct?

[indigo pilot]

lets see how much of a mistake this is

[still dirge]

think of them as similar to crit damage at 100% crit rate

[west wharf]

ye gotcha, so additive with each other

[ornate gate]

https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/killerprofire-2335/character/Reapfisher anyone has any ideas what i could do to push damage even further without killing my resistances?? the only ideas that come to mind is changing the rings for cast speed and maybe a heart of the well diamond

[polar wraith]

is hollow palm better than having a weapon

[magic pier]

Nah it's worse
It's nice that you get extra tanky as a consequence of how you scale your damage, but you aren't going to be comparable to lightning arrow if that's what you asking

[subtle musk]

hey guys
looking for 0.3 build that FEELS like 0.2 rake stomping ground.

but I am not so much invested in a specific class or spell or even level of power. the things i liked about rake stomping ground were the following

• melee build
• leeching life (or es is fine)
• faster attack speed, not big slow hits like maces
• somewhat tanky

I am aware that nothing will have the early game effect now that stomping ground is nerfed and I am ok with that

I have been looking for a while this league and I am starting to think that maybe what I am looking for does not exist yet? is what I am asking for part of the weapons not yet added like swords? or am i missing an obvious build that works for this?

[shut void]

is hollow palm affected by nodes like this?

wondering if i just wasted my time or naw lol

[quiet forge]

what do you mean

[shut void]

im guessing not cuz it says armor's evasion

[quiet forge]

as in do you scale the innate stats from the keystone?

no

[shut void]

as in does the key stone increase my hollow palms damage

[quiet forge]

those don't do anything

[potent storm]

Ayy guys, do you think If I support Reap with Extraction that Atalui's bloodletting will work?

[quiet forge]

it's just the same as any weapon

[shut void]

it has to be the innate stats on my armor that affects the hollow palms attack speed?

@quiet forge

im talking about this line

[quiet forge]

yes

[shut void]

yes waht

[quiet forge]

2146/25=85%

[shut void]

so to clarify. hollow palms' attack speed bonus is only affected from equipped armor stats not by passives that give increased evasion.

@quiet forge yes?

[quiet forge]

nothing you've seen so far would seem to indicate anything different

since you have a pob already, go to calcs and you can see what you've got in the backend from your equipped gear

[shut void]

alr another question, how do people leech mana? i dont see them equip gems that do so

or like stuff on the tree

[quiet forge]

rings, weapons, or gloves can roll mana or life leech

[quiet forge]

yes they do

get the mod and then take walker of the wild

done

[shut void]

what mod?

[still dirge]

bloodmage

[shut void]

im new so idk what is "the" mod

[quiet forge]

what it sounds like

leech physical damage as mana

walker of the wild says instead of physical you leech elemental damage

[shut void]

u can get that on armor?

alr

[subtle musk]

what build with bloodmage? like what weapon and skill?

[static plinth]

Rings

[cyan plinth]

Whats the best item type to roll on a Darkness Enthroned for a Warrior pure phys Slam build?

Got money to burn and want to try out something interesting

Gloves w a bunch of flat phys?

[floral hemlock]

can someone help em with my build

i dont know why my fire res isnt going up

[olive frigate]

does this mean its not working?

[unkempt plover]

did u try it? i assume it doesnt work

archmage + lifetap socketed into reap works (you use life when u cast reap), idk if archmage + atalui for its damage works tho

[solar spindle]

does anyone know if stormweaver's shaper of storms node lets skills that can't apply shock to apply shock?

[static torrent]

No, it only means that you can apply Shock with any damage type. If a skill cannot apply Shock due to being a Payoff, it will still be unable to Shock.

[solar spindle]

is there a way to create shocked ground with a skill or support gem that isn't conditional?

[magic pier]

Does having conversion above 100% do anything?
Like if I do 100 fire, and have 120% convert fire to cold from a corrupted unique glove, do I do 120 cold?

[static torrent]

No. However, if you had, for instance, 60% to Cold and 60% to Fire, it would be rounded down to 50/50 conversion to the respective elements.

[magic pier]

Damn

thanks for the info!

[solar spindle]

is there a good way to generate frenzy charges while using kaom's heart?

[magic pier]

Combat frenzy was extra comfy in my experience last season

[carmine flicker]

Can't use reservation with kaom tho

[keen sage]

Does Bravado Passive node work with Charged staff attacks? Does Charged staff "empower" attacks?

[fickle thistle]

Prolonged or Compressed Duration on this??
Coz the ticks would go faster with compressed i assume
and the Withered would go longer with Prolonged

[carmine flicker]

prolonged

[modest ingot]

Is "Rarity of items" bonuses more impactful in PoE2 than PoE1?

[brittle anvil]

it affects currency drops, yes

[modest ingot]

did it not do this in PoE1?

[brittle anvil]

no

[modest ingot]

ahh I see

makes sense

[winter niche]

Is it worth to go chronomancer as chaos build or the ascendancy will be wasted?

[dawn spire]

Not since they removed that interaction from ball lightning and lightning warp as far as I know. And even that is kinda conditional depending on how you define it. The condition was that a ball lightning must have been present to cast lightning warp on.

[dawn spire]

Chrono offers a ton of good stuff for any build. If you're going CI then the cooldown nodes are amazing just for Convalescence. You can basically get permanent ES recharge if you use it correctly.

On top of that, chaos dot build typically want to run temporal chains so the apex of the moment stacks with that and all of your "magnitude of slowing debuff" bonuses. Temporal rift is also a great button to have as another way to get your ES back

[winter niche]

Not what you asked, but theres unique boots that create it just by walking 🤷

[dawn spire]

Or, if you don't like temporal rift and/or don't want to use Convalescence, then the sands of time offers nice clearspeed bonuses and helps dark effigy a lot. And recoup is handy if you're going with life based or have that chest that makes life recoup also apply to ES.

[winter niche]

So basically just survival bonuses?

Going hc, so thats still something...

[dawn spire]

There are ways to get more damage but they require more niche/creative setups. If you go cooldown nodes you can then utilize something like an essence drain linked to hourglass or contagion linked to expanse.

[winter niche]

Does temporal chains slow stack with chronos slow aura?

[dawn spire]

Yes

Multiplicatively

Only problem is that presence area is annoying to scale

[winter niche]

I saw the nice helm for doubling it 😅

[winter niche]

Meaning... %+% or % * 0.something?

[dawn spire]

I also like going self-cast curses with chrono. Weapon swap for temp chains+despair (with decaying hex on one or both of them), then swap back and temporal rift to get all your mana back

[carmine flicker]

and lich is better at that too

[dawn spire]

If temp chains and apex both slow by 20%, then it would be 0.8 x 0.8 = 0.64x their speed, or 36% less (rather than the 40% it would be if they were additive)

Chrono is better at getting their ES back, lich is better at not losing their ES in the first place

[carmine flicker]

except temp chains can be scaled to like 60% easy, so 20% of 40% is just.. 8%
sadly

[winter niche]

How does effigy work with sands of time? Scales woth aoe part or cast speed too?

[dawn spire]

But that 60% is way less effective vs bosses

[dawn spire]

Both

[carmine flicker]

getting ES back isn't hard tbh

[dawn spire]

How do you do it without chrono?

[carmine flicker]

idk if 20% are applied at full vs bosses

[carmine flicker]

well, you perfectly know how I do it

[dawn spire]

Pretty sure it is. I would need to check the alt keywords

[dawn spire]

The leech glove thing?

Or recoup?

[carmine flicker]

and cheap spectre

[dawn spire]

Don't your minions all reform at the same time though?

And how long does that take?

[carmine flicker]

I have just one spectre

[dawn spire]

Also that can be interrupted. Seems kinda mid

[carmine flicker]

and 4.3 second with all the nodes

[dawn spire]

How many nodes?

[carmine flicker]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrvUqL4u12Y&lc=UgwfRpf7qqyDFNRHV314AaABAg.AN6DOcNuAU1AN6E8KtMC1r

[dawn spire]

Seems like it would just be better to get ES recharge nodes

[carmine flicker]

6 nodes +1 from megalomaniac

and 3 to get reformed barrier

[dawn spire]

Idk how many times recharging ES after 4.3 seconds is going to actually get you es back. Ie, you're not getting hit or affected by a dot when it procs

[dawn spire]

Oh

Man trade league is op

[carmine flicker]

I mean, 4 socket one is plain luxury

[dawn spire]

I just mean the unique itself

[carmine flicker]

no need to get THAT, I just didn't know what to do with money

[winter niche]

So... Dropping contagion, essence drain+poison and then using dark effigy is viable option? Or too many buttons for mediocre dps?

[dawn spire]

I didn't even look at the socket mod

[dawn spire]

Why would you drop contagion?

[carmine flicker]

it's lvl 28 low tier unique

[dawn spire]

Or you mean drop as in, "use it on the enemy"?

[carmine flicker]

it's 1ex

[winter niche]

For extra chaos dot 🤷

[carmine flicker]

in SSF you can drop it in act 2.. or never at all
that's why I don't play SSF
to random

[dawn spire]

I would put poison on dark effigy rather than ED

It's not 100% chance and that's too unreliable for me to consider it worth using for clearing

And you only use dark effigy for bosses and tanky rares

Can also drop a decaying hex self-cast curse

[carmine flicker]

don't forget curse with that DOT support

[winter niche]

Chance to poison support INSIDE of dark effigy? And not use ed at all?

[dawn spire]

And, if you wanna get fancy, run blackflame covenant and drop a flame wall

[dawn spire]

Use ED as well

[carmine flicker]

but, let's be honest, if you can get it(not in SSF) doedre undoing just do everything better as chaos build go this league

[dawn spire]

On bosses you bring the whole dump truck

Despair + Decaying hex > Flame Wall > Dark Effigy + poison > ED > Contagion

That's the order I'd use

Isn't there a support gem that turns a fire spell's ignite into a chaos dot?

You could use that instead of the keystone

[carmine flicker]

there is a ring

[winter niche]

Sounds fun. And expensive 😅

I was just thinking that a horde of slow ass mobs, withering away would be fun to look at 😅

[dawn spire]

If you're going chaos dot in hc, I think your best bets are chrono, lich, infernalist, pathfinder, titan, or warbringer. For the latter three you probably wanna level as something else if you don't have good twink caster leveling gear

[winter niche]

But little knowledge how 😅

[winter niche]

Titan/warbring because of built in totem nodes?

[carmine flicker]

undoing itself is cheap

expensive would be spell cascade setup
need SO MUCH increased AOE

[dawn spire]

Warbringer for block, the totem spirit, and jade.
Titan for life, armour, and effect of small nodes

[carmine flicker]

if you are not SSF warbringer and titan you go ES too, in late game

[dawn spire]

Even if you're ssf you go es

[carmine flicker]

titan and ES are real good, so damn good

[winter niche]

Tactician have some totem nodes too, but probly not worth it with effigy

[carmine flicker]

22% per node. brokenly good

[dawn spire]

15% more life node is probably your first node in the campaign

[dawn spire]

Two effigies is pretty great. Three with overabundance, but maintaining three with the reduced duration is a pain

[carmine flicker]

with titan you have nothing to get after 50% small nodes in late game tho

15% life useless, slams things too

[dawn spire]

I mean, armour + ES is fine

[carmine flicker]

and DOTs don't stun

[rotund veldt]

Any experienced LA player here? Cause i would like to get my gear rated with some tipps for upgrades 🙂

[dawn spire]

Dark effigy stuns

[dawn spire]

Link your poeninja for better odds at a response

[rotund veldt]

https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/WatchNLearn-4319/character/Abyss_Wolfc

[carmine flicker]

not very reliable since ranged and not phys

[dawn spire]

Yeah but it'll eventually stun

If they don't die first I guess

[carmine flicker]

yeah

[winter niche]

So since im a trading pleb and im going to buy 3rd ascend because im lazy fk with bad job, which ascendancy nodes i should go with? Currently 22 lvl, so was thinking slow aura, sands of time and maybe recoup? For little safety

[carmine flicker]

you are in HC?

[dawn spire]

Personally I love temporal rift, so I'd go rift, recoup, and sands. But you can go those three if you hate rift

[carmine flicker]

then can't help
sad

still I advise to try the spectre/prayers tech
it's really good in terms of survival

[winter niche]

Not a fan of rift since last epoch 😅 i know it can be a lifesaver... I just prefer something that would prevent the need to use it at all 😅

[carmine flicker]

I guess I need to record new Xesht showcase and mapping one

[winter niche]

Prayer of rain?

Currently using thorns helm, defiled scepter, 100 spirit robe and focus that gives 12% dmg per 10 spirit 😅

[tame brook]

Any good braindead titan build?

I just want to bonk brainlessly

[minor tree]

how do "less cost of skills" and "Increased mana cost efficiency" interact with increased mana cost of skills?

say i have a skill costing 100, and 500% increased cost (so 500 total)

if i had "20% reduced cost" it'd go to 480, meh

but does "20% less cost" make it go to 400?

if i have 20% mana cost efficiency does it mean it'd go to 450? (or 360 with 20% less cost)?

i'm planning some indigon shenanigans so mana efficiency is king unless i go for 0 cost spells

[carmine flicker]

yeah

[carmine flicker]

multiplicatively

[minor tree]

so any less cost and increased efficiency is big cash money
while increased/decreased cost is irrelevant almost no upside/downside

[carmine flicker]

increased and reduced mods stack

[tame brook]

Help me bonk guys, any recommended braindead titan build?

[carmine flicker]

so 100 increased and 20 reduced = 80% increased

yeah, efficiency is big if you want to reduce mana cost

[minor tree]

ok, huge

so lowkey gem studded's 30% less cost is huge

if going that route

[carmine flicker]

well
if you care about mana that is

[minor tree]

well i am going for chrono but i am still pondering if it is the best option

[carmine flicker]

chrono is never best option 🙁

[minor tree]

i can dump all mana and rewind to full, so that's cool

[carmine flicker]

or you can have actually good mana regen and regen all mana in under 2 seconds

[winter niche]

I hear jumping is pretty good bonk

[carmine flicker]

second this, leap slam crater bonk

[tame brook]

any useful links?

[minor tree]

but lich can prolly get higher total regen by stacking life (been crunching some numbers, i can get a lot of extra mana but not without eldritch's double mana cost messing with me, and then i'd be without defenses), titan being titan, less cost from gem studded is a consideration, etc

[carmine flicker]

less cost slow ramp up tho

[minor tree]

although with all that increased spell damage, detonate dead = instakill

[carmine flicker]

you want regen and spend more, not regen less and spend less

[minor tree]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9a9hC2vq1Fc
btw this may be fun for a 0 button build

since i know you like those

[carmine flicker]

abyssal lich is also good spirit dump if you need one

[minor tree]

mana tempest will nuke mana without struggle

[carmine flicker]

I mean, the less regen you have the less you ramp

[minor tree]

but with super high efficiency, i can keep spamming a high value spell instead of using 0 cost stuff

[carmine flicker]

tempest can ear all mana
you just want to regen more to eat more

[minor tree]

cause i've been thinking about it and sure, for bosses i can stop time, double dump all mana, incinerate for infinite damage

[carmine flicker]

sound slow-ish

[minor tree]

but for normal mapping i'd prolly want some spell to spam

[winter niche]

Thats my plan b- if chaos doesnt work, will just remake chrono to bonker xD if not dead until then

[minor tree]

the increased costs will keep indigon online as long as i keep casting

[carmine flicker]

why noone play Doedre?

[minor tree]

i probably will end up with doedre

[carmine flicker]

it's really superior chaos option yet everyone go EDC

like. you did see DAT AOE

[minor tree]

i did hahaha

but yeah more efficiency = i can spam a higher cost/level spell to match my regen = more damage

outside of the rewind incinerate combo

[carmine flicker]

efficiency is good

I doubt gemling is

[minor tree]

but it does mean that eldritch battery sucks if that's the case (outside of 0 cost spell combos)

so where is the defense of the build

lich can stack life, so there's the defense and regen at once

[carmine flicker]

lich can stack ES too, cause you don't need MOM

[minor tree]

so odds are defense comes from energy shield recharge start delay bonuses and waveshaper (forgot the unique name, going on a limb) + chrono's slow

but no eldritch = no super high mana = less regen

quite annoying x)

[carmine flicker]

just go lich + ES + regen from life + disdain

oh

can't go disdain

hmm

[minor tree]

yeah it's some flat damage% lost

but whatever

i'd still have no way to heal lost life anyway tbh

[carmine flicker]

well
you don't need to heal it when have ES

and you can when you don't

[quiet linden]

Does Embitter only affect the extra damage that comes from inserted support gems in the specific skill or is it all extra damage that I have?

[minor tree]

inb4 titan was really the best after all lol

i'm sticking with chrono for now, just got to act 3 too, doing a silly 6x orb build that seems to be clearing maps alright

i really don't want to level a witch too x)

lich is prolly better for "general mapping" to maximize regen, but worse for burst

i wonder if all that spell damage could revive corpsewade

with minion life nodes and sacrifice for the first kill

detonate dead is already "instakill everything around" with that much spell damage, decompose would make it automatic

[carmine flicker]

it's easy lvling

[minor tree]

so many hours tho

in the end the build works anyway x)

oh super curious about mana flare too, if it's affected by all that spell damage it's going to giga ignite

(especially since i plan to have a lot of ailment magnitude for incinerate)

[grave spire]

Does penetrate (amazon ascendancy) work with hallow palm technique?

[magic pier]

Do your fists have accuracy rating?

[carmine flicker]

made new breach boss showcase
this time even more braindead

Whats edc?

If I want to use spectres, what's a good ascendancy for it?

[carmine flicker]

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

[carmine flicker]

Inferno

[carmine flicker]

essence drain+contagion
EDC in short

[winter niche]

So what does it have to do with gloves? 😅

[carmine flicker]

doedre's undoing
support

[carmine flicker]

https://poe2db.tw/us/Doedres_Undoing

I forget those gloves even exist, who care about them anyway

[winter niche]

Oh ..

[winter niche]

100% increase dmg 😅

Pretty cool early

[carmine flicker]

yeah, like first 30 lvls or so

w/e

[winter niche]

Pretty expensive

[carmine flicker]

how much does it cost in HC?

it's 5 ex in SC. at least was 5ex last time I bothered to look

[winter niche]

25ex-1 div

[carmine flicker]

wow. I guess it's more expensive there

still not that bad

really good damage from "nothing" tho
I have scepter+foci, no +lvl, no wand, nothing

[winter niche]

Everything is inflated in hc 😅😅

Would be cool if could be used with blasphemy

[carmine flicker]

wouldn't work, really

I mean, HOW?

[winter niche]

Like rf 🤣

[carmine flicker]

wrong support to want RF

[winter niche]

Chaos rf 😅

[carmine flicker]

I mean there is support for that(that doesn't work either, but still)

[winter niche]

The 100fire dmg helm one and blackflame ring? 😅

[carmine flicker]

called decaying hex

[winter niche]

Oh

[winter niche]

But if it doesnt work, doesnt matter anyway 😅

[carmine flicker]

it SHOULD wotk with with blasphemy but does not

doedre can't work with it tho, cause doedre work with cursed grounds and can't have that with aura curse for obvious reasons

[winter niche]

So deodre is like magic hollow palm?

[carmine flicker]

strange analogy

[winter niche]

I mean... Dmg out of nowhere 😅

[carmine flicker]

well, out of int stack

[winter niche]

So titan would be perfect for it too?

[carmine flicker]

it's more "bit of damage from every item" so don't need ONE good item, like good wand, just a lot of "ok" ones

titan.. meh
lich better

abyssal lich

[winter niche]

Gets more stats than titan?

[carmine flicker]

you can go scepter+foci for tons of spirit and transform spirit into stats

into ES or spell damage or cast speed

but titan can be good too

if you know what to do with extra spirit I guess

[winter niche]

Whats foci?

[carmine flicker]

focus

yeah, it's called focus in POE2, sorry

[winter niche]

Spirit build- automatically thinking about threaded light focus 🤣

[carmine flicker]

ehh, no ES to speak of

[tame brook]

why can't I wear my medium flask?

[carmine flicker]

and you still need to spend that spirit for smth anyway

[winter niche]

Ye, threaded light gives dmg on max spirit. Spent or not, doesnt matter

[carmine flicker]

I mean, spirit you didn't spend is waste of potential

[winter niche]

Using it currently for +270% increase dmg or so

[winter niche]

Tru. Im just saying it gives dmg on max spirit. So extra bonus

Abyss lich icon looks cool tho

[rotund veldt]

is this a worth upgrade to my Bow? https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/WatchNLearn-4319/character/Abyss_Wolfc

[true dove]

vaal first

[rotund veldt]

but is it better than mine?

cause for bows its hard for me the rly see if a investment is worth

[surreal patrol]

Currently on the POE2 Chat1 streaming looking on some advice to improve the build lv 91. Chrono

[restive ocean]

best VenoM draught for pathfinder?

stun or ele ail

[rare coral]

Yo is there any way to get stun threshold from mana, trying to solve it for eldritch battery CI

[surreal patrol]

you should get the treshhold before it gets converted from ES to Mana

[magic pier]

If I have The Dark Defiler equipped and the umbral well passive do I still get the gain extra as chaos from the dark defiler?

[rare coral]

I dont, abasement only gives me the flat 20% when i check my stats

unless im trolling and looking at the wrong thing

[surreal patrol]

it doesnt show but it is there.

in the same fashion you cant find it if its on your shoes and belt

[rare coral]

Yea i was looking at recovery modifier

They should probably list it here with it..

Thanks

[surreal patrol]

they should but they dont

[surreal patrol]

dont know but if umbral soul is a counter no, if its an actual minion yes

[winter niche]

I know you shill abyss a lot but... Which would have better survivability (tankiness but not neceserally as of raw stats), abyss or chrono?

^^^^^ Also, what would others think about this matter?

[dire cipher]

any hollow palm monk enjoyers? im trying to get some insight for a hollow palm storm wave build

[small drum]

The notable that doesnt remove life leech after life is full is useless at the point where im insta leeching, right? Or am I missing something?

[radiant hawk]

maube using pin?

[radiant hawk]

you need a single mana leech line

it basically swaps teh "Physical Attack" part to elemental

@pulsar flax A question, is it not possible to remove people from Deadeye chat channel since I am sure at least %50 of subscribed people there are not even playing and people can't message there since it's capped =/

[frozen knot]

you can't get the keystone itself with from nothing diamondm only stuff in a small radius around it

[winter niche]

so screen slow doesnt mean much ? 😄

[quartz cairn]

If HoI and HoT don't chain off each other anymore, why do so many of the Invoker builds that use both use Cold attunement+cold supports on HoT and Lightning on HoI?

I copied it, but I dont understand the reasoning

[willow lotus]

u guys think this LS build would be interesting doing ? https://poe.ninja/poe2/builds/abyss/character/sanaskinoah-5476/Airexnia?i=3&search=class%3DDeadeye%26sort%3Ddps

[radiant lake]

Anyone have a great video to watch on a build lightening bolt deadeye Ranger Try to do a update OP build

Ping

Me

[ornate anvil]

What are the biggest chaos damage and energy shield uniques?

[neat iron]

can shaper of winter proc self-chill with scold's bridle?

I see a lot of discussion that shaper of winter + self-damaging uniques doesn't work for self-chill in poe1 and I wanna know if the same is true in poe2

[naive mason]

would these affect if i'm using a curse with blasphemy? i mean would it add delay or cooldown to how frequently it applies curses around me?

[vapid storm]

How well did we cook gng

[glacial vessel]

I mean, you are just bouncing target to target and not killing any of the rares if you check the first 20 secs of the video. Can it actually kill rares 1 shot or just bouncing?

[vapid storm]

Yes I oneshot them

Arc doesn't kill it gets them to 1hp

Then lighting warp finishes them off

With cull

[glacial vessel]

hmm I was checking the minimap and still see all the skulls behind you

why is that?

[vapid storm]

It used to miss this is a old clip

[glacial vessel]

oh I see

[vapid storm]

But mainly 1 less ape and two just flickered away to fast

XD

My best flicker atm is a one flicker map clear

Wish I recorded it

The build is insane at breach

[carmine flicker]

20% slow or 27% less damage taken? + 30% more ES 🙂
when you have 8k constant recharge and all

[winter niche]

more slow, less chance to be hitten at all xD

[gusty ingot]

herro everyone, what is the best hallow palm build overall for my invoker

[carmine flicker]

man, dodging is too much work. I don't do that at all and all good

[left pine]

Hi folks, is there a way to reliably mark targets without having to keep casting it?

[carmine flicker]

Thing is
When you have that much recovery every hit that do not oneshot basically doesn't matter.
So if you CAN tank it there is no point to dodge, so if you can increased max hit enough to tank every hit - you are safer with doing that, basically, if that's possible at all
And that is possible, actually, except for arbiter oneshots

It's not like that against tons of trash mobs, but that's where temporal chains blasphemy actually do work(and offer a lot more slow in bigger radius)

[vapid storm]

Called shots

Deadeye acendacy

[winter niche]

so even with 10k es, theres still someone who 1 shot? 😄

[vapid storm]

Can be

[winter niche]

so wouldnt it be easier to evade it by making enemy slow as fk? 😅

[vapid storm]

Or just have 40k life regen

https://tenor.com/view/gojo-satoru-satoru-gojo-gojo-satoru-cursed-energy-gif-15498847897516427329

RCT that shit

[small drum]

Is gore spike (ascendancy node of blood mage) just visually bugged and not showing ingame or is it not working at all?

[winter niche]

regen wont save from 1shot 😄

[versed tundra]

of course the day after I spend 2d on a snakepit someone sells one for 1d

[winter niche]

klasik

[vapid storm]

It does

Since I only take 80% of the hit

I can't be oneshot

[carmine flicker]

yeah, I lost around 10k(that's with 15% less damage) from some map bosses with bad mods

from that t16 citadel wolf boss frost breath for example

[hybrid obsidian]

im playing galvanic shards / shockburst....2 questions, to increase damage do i scale projectile/hit/attack tags? both skills have a confusing characteristic that the real damage comes from the effects rather thant he direct hits.. the pulse from shockburst and the beams from the galvanic ?

not sure if i fully understand the scaling here

[sand juniper]

if my main damage skill is lightening spark and i have ring increase fire damage, does the damage gets converted to lightening?

or add up

[carmine flicker]

what ring?

[sand juniper]

breach

[carmine flicker]

adds X to Y fire damage to attack mod?

oh, that
if your spark isn't fire than increased fire damage doesn't do anything

[sand juniper]

sadly i dont use fire or cold

oh ok thank you\

[carmine flicker]

quality there isn't doing much either

[tardy narwhal]

Has anyone tried a Frostbolt Bloodmage yet? if so, what are the requirements to swap from just a Fusillade / Fireball build?

[sand juniper]

ring is not mine i was looking for one in the market

wish if theres + all elemental resistance cast speed and light damage on the same ring

i cant find any

[calm lava]

The only thing that can extend Into The Breach's buff effect is temporal chains, right? There's no passives or uniques for remnant buff duration?

[vapid storm]

Depends witch style

You doing kaoms heart?

[static plinth]

There are slower buff expiry passives iirc
And supports should work

[torpid abyss]

Anyone willing to help out with some advice. I've got a deadeye like everyone and it's getting boring + stuck coz everything is soooo expensive. Considering Minions or spark mage. Anyone got a pref or maybe a different direction to explore? THanks!

[calm lava]

Those only seem to exist on the Chronomancer ascendancy, unless I'm missing something.

Unfortunately the supports notably don't work for Into The Breach, as it lacks the duration tag

[carmine flicker]

How hipster do you want to be and how much do you have?

[torpid abyss]

Not a lot. Still a total noob at crafting. Think I have like 16 pure divines and probably double that in all kind of different currencies omens etc

[carmine flicker]

40 div is a lot for hipster builds

I wanted to make autobomber spark
Are you interested?

[torpid abyss]

The inflation on bows is so high that everytime I get closer to something better I need another 10-30 div. It's just insane

[carmine flicker]

My whole build cost like 20 div

And have aoe wide one button clear and van facetank all content

[torpid abyss]

Sounds nice! Deadeye is the first time for me that I even managed to finish the 4th ascendancy

[carmine flicker]

If you want to try I can give you pob and advices

Or you can make infernalist spectre minions

[torpid abyss]

Both sound interesting. I've been working a mage (only lvl 22 atm) so guess that has a pref at the moment 🙂

[carmine flicker]

Witch you mean?

[torpid abyss]

sorry meant sorc

[carmine flicker]

Pmed you

[tardy narwhal]

I'm kinda new. just getting to maps. Kind of just trying to follow what CaptainLance did. but it's hard to tell why he swapped to Frostbolts, but it looks a lot more fun

[vapid storm]

So there's two ways you can go

One for crit damage for hp

And you have to go kaoms heart

With the downside of no spirit

Or choose rare Energy shield body armour and go the node for that gives you 100% of your es on body armour as life and the spec into crit nodes

With the upside of being able to use spirit

Both have really good scaling with the focus so choose which play style you like

[tardy narwhal]

thx. but are both of those the "Frostbolt" variant? I'd rather the latter, as I imagine it's cheaper to start

[vapid storm]

Both have really good flat scaling so either can be used

One thing tho

Kaoms heart build you will have to manually cast snap

Since you don't have spirit

[tardy narwhal]

is frost bolt considered better than fireball

i dont love the Ember Fusillade / Fireball playstyle

it's pretty strong and got me through second half of Campaign. I need to consider investing more into this build or start getting items for the Frostbolt build though. I'd prefer the Frostbolt, I believe

[vapid storm]

Frostbolt is good

It's not as good as ember or fireball

I haven't tested it personally myself

Since I use arc and cast on crit

But with how much damage bloodmage stacks I'd be surprised if it was bad

[calm lava]

Oh! My apologies, I missed two:

1. Prolonged Assault
2. Lasting Boons

[vast folio]

prob a stupid question but, at what level can I start utilizing this build? I want to use it for leveling but not sure if it's even worth it https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/7suj80g7

[lost oxide]

Does stun threshold do anything for you when using rhoa mount?

[orchid narwhal]

Besides the boar and antlion in Infested Warrens, where is the best place to farm beasts for companions? The antlion is worse, but both have a charge that's like oh you want an aura? let me just run away. I'm looking for trail of lightning with literally any other useful mod, preferably, physical damage aura.

[vague obsidian]

ice strike or flurry

[rugged kraken]

Does this just half the spirit cost of a companion? So it will be easier to get 2 and a herald if I need it?

[carmine flicker]

no, just buffs

[rugged kraken]

thank you. You saved me alot of time

[carmine flicker]

if iot reduced minion cost if would be best summoner ascendancy hands down

but alas

[rugged kraken]

yah I was looking at it like WAIT A MIN this would be nuts.. But its not hehe

[carmine flicker]

GGG do not make THAT stupid mistakes

they make less stupid ones ofc, game is too complex not to

[rugged kraken]

Are you talking about the company that said we could get 100% deflection? hehe or the company that made it hard to get 5k health but people running around with 30k ES and immmune to chaos dmg?

[carmine flicker]

well, POE2 is in bad state

POE1 is in good.. ok.. mediocre.. not horrible.. state

[rugged kraken]

Im just kidding I know its like .3 its not even a released game yet. Btw since you seem knowledgeable do I need to have my spear out in order to have my companions active? Like when you switch weapons do they disapear if your spears not out

[carmine flicker]

tame beast doesn't require a spear, does it?

[rugged kraken]

Im actually looking it up right meow

Cant remember

[carmine flicker]

it doesn'a according to POE2DB

[rugged kraken]

ah then I can use a bow/crossbow while running around with 2 companions good good..

[carmine flicker]

you can
but bows are meta

so all gear really expensive

[rugged kraken]

bah I dont care about meta just rolling fun stuff

I can craft it my real char is farming t15 maps

thinking of going pathfinder doing poisons dmg with bane sapling or scarecrowbeast to stack the poisons?

[carmine flicker]

idk, I did not touch pathfinder in POE2

I played it too much in POE1

(also after POE1 this pathfinder is just a pale shadow of it's true might)

[scarlet isle]

can we get 1000 int in 0.3?

[rugged kraken]

Well as I was doing maps I realized I really hate chilled ground and stupid chains on like every single map so pathfinder just ignores slows.

[rugged kraken]

easily 500?

[carmine flicker]

I have around 650

why do you need 1000 exactly?

[rugged kraken]

I was thinking the same thing

[hidden owl]

Question about weapon swapping. Do I have to unallocate uh....24 points first, then reallocate those 24 twice for each weapon set?

[carmine flicker]

I mean, I play int stack and going for more than 600-650 just not worth it, sadly

[carmine flicker]

sorry, can't help. never used that mechanics

[carmine flicker]

yea, but.. I just ignore them thew hard way. By being patient

[rugged kraken]

that just feels terrible though

[rugged kraken]

we are incentivised to go as fast as possible

[carmine flicker]

yeah. I just don't stop. I go and kill

but sure. It does feel bad

[carmine flicker]

no, we are incentivised to combo skills, dodge and dance around mobs. Noone just do it

[scarlet isle]

to compare it with what i rememberred from prev versions

[carmine flicker]

I mean, it IS possible

just not optimal

2% increased in jewel helps a lot

[jaunty moat]

is there any trade chat? I want to buy deadeye build

[iron swift]

Hey just a question does anyone know if Atalui's bloodletting and eternal life for lich will still let ataluis work?

[carmine flicker]

it won't work

[static plinth]

The humble curse and chill immunity:

[versed tundra]

Should I grab Atalui's Bloodletting first or Tecrod undying hate first?

for a blood mage

already got snakepit for my frostbolt/ice wall CoC frost darts

[spring ferry]

For hollow palm deadeye playing with spectral ward

Which is better, full evasion armor or hybrid armor eva es?

Considering my crit chance is 90% + using hybrid armor

[turbid cargo]

I'm looking at a galvanic shards build guide, can anyone explain why galvanic shards is displaying as load galvanic shards?

Is that the right skill to put support gems on?

[west wharf]

with crossbow skills, you load a type of bolt in

then fire the bolts

so in POB the initial dropdown will be load galvanic shards, then you select galvanic shards, then projectile or beam depending on which component you want to see

ingame it's just one skill - galvanic shards

[woven zinc]

is there a twink setup for ED/Contagion leveling?

[daring veldt]

Is there a best way to craft your tablets?

[proud sorrel]

Do "Increases One Handed Damage" nodes add to Twister's damage?

oh nvm, forgot I could hold shift to see skill numbers if they go up and it does

[plush kiln]

whats the difference between the normal lich and abyssal lich? it looked like the passives and stuff were pretty much the same

[carmine flicker]

Mainly the unholy might line

Unholy might replaced with really different node
And next one too

Also abyssal lich explode mobs for phys instead of chaos

[plush kiln]

wait abyssal lich is busted?

or atleast sounds really fun

so abyssal lich is like the less chaos y version of normal lich?

[jovial patio]

Hi guys, can someone help me determine how to improve this?
I am doing decent damage but abyss monster are not dying in one hit and most of the time overrun me. And once they do, i am dying in 2 sec. What should i do first. I have around 10 div to spare.
https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/Anarok-_-X-1238/character/Byakushin

[carmine flicker]

Also no minion version

[versed tundra]

How do I fix this?

Randomly unable to use CoC. It is my only spirit reservation gem and I have 111 spirit

It only turns on for weapon swap 2, but I use the same weapon and off-hand for both weapon sets

[indigo pilot]

is it set to use both weapons sets in the gem's screen?

[carmine flicker]

Do you actually have socketed skill btw?

[plush kiln]

https://tenor.com/view/sonic-devil-diabolique-evil-gif-9725651736562738158

[carmine flicker]

I mean, you literally can't have most minions

[plush kiln]

yeah they get turned into the buff

the

umbral

right

[carmine flicker]

Buff is really strong too

Clerics are best in terms of efficiency, but may be not in terms of desired effect

They give stat equivalent of 2 nodes for 20 spirit

Frost mages are like 2.3 nodes for 40 spirit

(35% es with nodes giving 15 per node)

[plush kiln]

oohoo boy

im def gonna have to make one of those after i get done or bored of my current idea

[carmine flicker]

...tbh I went for 6 cold mages for 210% increased es and happy

[plush kiln]

whats the easiest or fastest way to max out spirit on a witch for the best effect for that passive

i guess best would be a better word than fastest

[carmine flicker]

I just use 200 spirit sceptre

[plush kiln]

almost no passive skill nodes effect spirit

[carmine flicker]

I have 300 spirit
It's enough for me

[plush kiln]

theres one called profane commander with +4% spirit but im p sure thats literally the only one

[carmine flicker]

Not worth it

Literally

[plush kiln]

wait

this ones kind of awesome

i want gigantic minions

[carmine flicker]

No minions you mean?)

Abyssal lich

[plush kiln]

there are two that effect minion reservation one with 25% increased efficiency and one with 12%

theyre pretty close to the 4% spirit one too

would it not effect how much spirit the buff costs?

[carmine flicker]

Too many nodes to take them

It would
But when extra skeleton would give you 2 nodes worth of stats..

Don't spend more than 2 nodes to squeeze that extra one

[plush kiln]

yeah thats true

im just trying to think of stuff to go for on the passive tree that isnt just more damage or more energy shield

i want more interesting stuff than that

[carmine flicker]

On abyssal lich?

[plush kiln]

yeah well in general i guess

[carmine flicker]

Sorry, you are here for more damage and more es

[plush kiln]

yeah

[carmine flicker]

I also take curse AOE I guess

[plush kiln]

i guess i just wish the passive tree was more interesting

i mean they are literally passives thats kinda the point but damn

[carmine flicker]

Abyssal lich is stat stacker

[plush kiln]

i do like those

[carmine flicker]

You sell your damn soul to damn abyss to stack even more es and damage

[plush kiln]

my first (and only) character to get to maps stage is a gemling

[carmine flicker]

Not stat stacker in that regard

Tho you can make int stack abyssal lich

I play one

[plush kiln]

oh i see

yeah i was looking like wtf what stat??

i could do strength for this one

more life more mana regen and stack attack speed or something

idk

[carmine flicker]

100% not worth it

[plush kiln]

yeah lol

[carmine flicker]

Int stack at least work

[plush kiln]

why int stack specifically for abyssal? or is it not specific just good to have more int on magic character bc of mana and skill reqs

or is it the lightning thing

more mana more damage

[carmine flicker]

It's the doedre undoing thing

[plush kiln]

guh

what the hell is even that

im way out of the loop on poe2 stuff tbh

[carmine flicker]

Google it I guess
Poe2db have info
It's new support for short

[plush kiln]

oh shit

is it just for that one skill

[carmine flicker]

And why for abyssal
Cause you want sceptre for spirit abd focus for es
So no wand for +X to spell levels
And that thing scales good without skill lvls

[plush kiln]

ohhh i see

[carmine flicker]

"just" for your main skill that do all the damage, yes

[plush kiln]

lol yeah i forget this game is way different than most games i play

the "one button meta" or whatever

thats pretty crazy

[carmine flicker]

GGG wants people to use more than one or two skills

But players really don't want to in general

Combo multiple buttons is fun for some time
Not for 6 hours long grind sessions

[plush kiln]

i can definitely see that being annoying

youre supposed to be kind of disengaged while grinding not focusing on your combo

[carmine flicker]

When you kill mobs in hundreds per minute you really don't want to notice each individual mob or combo those to death

You want to remove them with as low effort as possible so they don't clog screen

And you rather literally kill hundreds per minute in poe

It's war crime simulator intensified

[plush kiln]

i struggle to make passable builds or i get bored so i never really get to the mapping stage but that is a good point

nobodies counting up your combo or how many enemies there are bc you just cant at that stage

[carmine flicker]

And they all run to you at march 1 speed

Or faster

You just want to clear them before they torn you to shreds

[plush kiln]

would you say that melee doesnt really work when you get to mapping

[carmine flicker]

It does work

When you have enough aoe

And chain-explosions

When your melee is half screen wide.. around you..

Yeah

Like crater leap slam

[plush kiln]

ive been trying to do a hand of chayula volatility build but i havent really thought about what skills im gonna be using im just winging it

[carmine flicker]

But there IS a reason AOE spear/bow characters with chaining attacks are really meta for many month in a row

[carmine flicker]

Fool's endeavour

[plush kiln]

https://tenor.com/view/man-on-knees-screaming-no-ymiyoms-gif-1715427374379541309

[carmine flicker]

It's cool meme build

[plush kiln]

im gonna be always exploding and doing chaos damage or something

[carmine flicker]

Or smth

Mostly clicking "respawn"

[plush kiln]

nope

im gonna win

and that'll show you

and all the haters

[carmine flicker]

Define victory conditions

[carmine flicker]

I'm not hater
I just know math

[plush kiln]

1 being awesome
2 being really cool
3 exploding and doing chaos damage

[carmine flicker]

1 and 2 are subjective and so irrelevant

[plush kiln]

nuh uh

[carmine flicker]

Doing chaos damage is easy to archive
Like
Take lvl 1 essence drain, done

So let's make more defined one
Like "doing 4 mods t15 maps without dying" at least

[plush kiln]

nah we dont need to go that far

[cedar aspen]

https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/1322159941955358741

if you’re interested you should get some good insight from this channel. Good bunch of guys on there. Korrihor has had over like 1700 hours on Chayula and I believe he’s got good things to say about the changes this season.

[carmine flicker]

Won't say it's victory otherwise

[cedar aspen]

Chayula can do this for you. Everyone even memed on the dodge roll shade from the ascendancy but it’s actually quite good lol

[carmine flicker]

Really doubt someone found a success using Hand of Chayula as main skill

[plush kiln]

i wanna go for basically the whole top line

inner turmoil and unravelling

then prob sap of nightmares?

[cedar aspen]

I did last season 🙂 send yourself into one mob and spread whatever curse/marks have on that mob, mobs die, profane ritual for power gems, falling thunder, profit. Was awesome

[carmine flicker]

It's not terrible
What is is darkness
Losing spirit for that so much not worth it

[plush kiln]

or the purple flame thing

yeah idk about darkness

seems sketchy

too dark

[cedar aspen]

Flames of Chayula are ok but you can change them out if you want, they’re optional and not as good as they were last season

[cedar aspen]

Darkness still needs some work but for early game defences it’s not too bad to use. Halfway through campaign you probably want to respec

[carmine flicker]

Why use hand tho?
There are better skills for the whole jump into pack and kill it?

[plush kiln]

its fun

probby

[cedar aspen]

Sometimes you can use a skill that you like that doesn’t have to be meta or the best in slot

Sometimes you use skills for fun instead of them not being better than other skills

[carmine flicker]

Meta - no
Meta can be wrong, happens all the time
Not using best in slot is stupid tho, unless you have some actual in game reason to use smth else IMO

[cedar aspen]

Sometimes it’s nice to play the fantasy of high fiving some poor rambler in the face with a chaos filled palm of nightmares for them to die and spread it like wildfire to other mobs.

[plush kiln]

things are heating up in the #build-planning fandom

[carmine flicker]

Efficiency and fun are synonyms for me, so yeah, not smth we can agree on

[plush kiln]

oooh get wrecked skinzerai

[cedar aspen]

Have we ever agreed? 😂

[carmine flicker]

No, I guess

[plush kiln]

skinzerai is kind of an awesome name

[carmine flicker]

(100% not when I can walk, tank all the damage and blast everything that moves with one lazy button click. That's how I have the most fun)

[plush kiln]

i do like tanking hits

dodging is just too much effort

[carmine flicker]

Well
Gameplay itself isn't fun tbh
Setting that all up is

[cedar aspen]

Then that’s great for you and I’m happy for you. Doesn’t mean that other people should be put off using skills they like just because you think they’re bad, no?

[plush kiln]

how the tables turn, now its twiceborned getting wrecked

[carmine flicker]

They can and should do w/e they want
I'm just telling it would probably be bad in terms of objective metrics

If they still do that
Hey, at least it's now informed decision

[cedar aspen]

Anyways yes this sounds good. Volatility and HollowPalm is something I look forward to trying out. Volatility in itself is… odd, because from what I’ve seen although the cap of 200 is doable, chances are your not going to achieve that much when clearing, and you’ll have to do some funky tech to do it before bossing

[carmine flicker]

Also - doing meme things is best when you have both backup plan and bunch of stashed currency to recover from possible losses

[cedar aspen]

But it’s still new, and I look forward to seeing what they cook up with Chayula

[plush kiln]

duuuude i didnt even think about bossing fuck

im not cooking shit i suck at this game

[cedar aspen]

Korrihor has got the tech for it. And Miso does too. Want the YT link?

[carmine flicker]

Volatility itself is cool
But exploding it is pain
Not literally for chayula

[plush kiln]

hell yeah

[cedar aspen]

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XL9VgRVKfeI

[plush kiln]

unravelling is good though for the boss bc it gives volatility from ailments right

[cedar aspen]

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=t4cpA255R6Q

[carmine flicker]

Hollow really enabled many builds

[plush kiln]

is there a way to make ailment duration shorter so that you can get more ailments on the boss?

[cedar aspen]

I don’t think so? Maybe, unless there’s a support I haven’t seen yet

[plush kiln]

bro im 49 seconds in and flabbergasted

[carmine flicker]

You can apply ailments boss have anyway

Nothing stops you from re-shocking boss every hit

Also can consume them with way too many skills

[cedar aspen]

I don’t think you can for unraveling. That being said, having one damage source that enables you to get all ailment damage sources on is unique. Might even be able to use Trinity spirit gem, but will depend on how well it changes and how much chaos damage you can scale

[plush kiln]

whats the trinity gem? im assuming its like if you get 3 ailments then something happens or you get the energy or whatever

and these new lineage gems (?) how do you get those? are they super late game or what

[carmine flicker]

Trinity literally doesn't work for chaos damage

It gives more elemental damage

[cedar aspen]

Which you’re applying via unraveling

[plush kiln]

unravelling yeah

yeah! what they said!!

[carmine flicker]

Man, that's why we will never agree
Cause you lie to people

You are not doing ele damage
You are applying ele ailments

[cedar aspen]

Sounds like you’re effectively scaling the ailments, which you apply through unravelling you deal to enemies via chaos damage no?

[carmine flicker]

Trinity doesn't scale ailments
It scales elemental damage

One you do not do

[cedar aspen]

You’re most likely going to be doing that though

[plush kiln]

the wording and technicalities is always weird in this game so idk

[cedar aspen]

Because most of monks skills are either ice or lightning damage, which chaos stacked on top

[plush kiln]

and apparently the devs never clarify anything?? or something

[cedar aspen]

Ikr

[carmine flicker]

They aren't weird in that case

[carmine flicker]

And if most of your damage is chaos then trinity is waste of spirit

[cedar aspen]

They’ve made some changes already to things this season but working on it. It’s early access still they’ve got bundles of time for changes to come

[plush kiln]

i might have to agree with twiceborned here, its not really elemental damage it just acts as if it was

seems like

i wanna do mainly chaos which wont work for trinity

[carmine flicker]

And due to how added as works if you had 100 lightning, 30% more lightning and 200 volatility you will get 130 lightning and 200 chaos

Chaos won't be scaled by modifiers to lightning damage

[cedar aspen]

Gotcha. Unravelling will still be good to scaling volatility stacks then

[plush kiln]

is essentia sanguis a boss item or a normal uhh fuckin unique item

[carmine flicker]

If you are not ssf just buy it

[plush kiln]

i am the solo self found master

i like the idea of the market but its like idk it just feels like the easy way out or idk i dont really like grinding but it just feels almost like cheating

[carmine flicker]

Doing chayula in ssf..
Gl with finishing campaign

[plush kiln]

yeah ive died like 10 times

im doing hardcore too

becuase im a super hardcore gamer im so fucking cool

[carmine flicker]

No, just a masochistic

[plush kiln]

thank you dave for the fire react

dave youre a real one

[alpine basin]

can anyone confirm, if i divine an undying hate, does it reroll just the seed, or can it reroll the conquerer as well?

[summer owl]

Why was this build archived?

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/explosive-shot-witchhunter-build-guide

[plush kiln]

he keeps saying something about CI what is that, specifically its about the passive tree and the ascendancy tree. what nodes you should do with ci versus no ci

[cedar aspen]

Chaos Innoculation Keystone Passive

Immune to Chaos Damage but your life is reduced to 1

If you’re evasion/ES stacking it’s incredibly powerful

[cedar aspen]

I’m the same way I’m SSF, furthest I got was to T10 maps with Chayula last season.

Depending how you do the build I’m sure you’ll whizz through campaign

[plush kiln]

ohhh the one health yeah okay i remember that

bro my last run i got to act 2 and i died to a random rare mob one shotting me

but im trying to stack more energy shield so hopefull that doesnt happen again

[cedar aspen]

I’m sure the guides will tell you but best to sort out your ES first to make sure it’s good to go, because once you select that node you’re pretty much reliant on ES or ES/Evasion hybrid

[cedar aspen]

It will be rougher this time around since Abyssal Mobs are the danger throughout

[plush kiln]

it just seems so crazy how much es people have like this dude has 6k es like how

it feels like the es nodes are so stingy

i know he has good gear and his shit does like 60k dps but still

im starving for es

[cedar aspen]

Yeah it’s mental how much ES can be gained from gear/passive tree combination

[shadow zephyr]

So, does this mean that %armour applies to elemental damage (passives or item properties) doesn't apply against Damage over Time elemental effects, despite not specifying that in the property? Should I permanently keep a dousing charm if I'm relying on this for over-capped resists?

[plush kiln]

what is original sin

in poe2 i mean

[shadow zephyr]

Unique amethyst ring that converts 100% of all elemental damage to chaos damage and can hit 36% unqualitied chaos resistance.

The 100% can be corrupted to higher than 100%, which makes it realllllly nice for poison builds- at that point it's not just adding each elemental damage type to your poison scaling, it's multiplying it.

But it's a heavy commitment for anything else besides that or a chaos mage because those are the only two properties on it (although you could also land the corrupt enchant %increased damage on top of the conversion corruption if you used an omen to double corrupt and hit the jackpot, and then it'd just be straight nasty)

[plush kiln]

ooohooo that sounds delicious

waiter i would like one of these please

too bad im ssf

[merry osprey]

not too versed in poe2 buildmaking but, planning out some accuracy stacking hollow palm titan with pure eva gear and constricting command

think the tree looks reasonably efficient

should have outrageously high attack speed

maybe i should invest in some rage nodes or something idk, just sort of throwing stuff at the wall and seeing what sticks, i think the tree looks pretty decent though (i forgot rt it has been rectified)

[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 ?

[alpine basin]

damn.... the tribute noteable seem kind of undertuned for how much they give you per skill point. kind of dissapointing.

i mean, i get like 1100+ life regen from sacrifice of blood, and atalui's give me some extra damage, but like none of the surrounding skill nodes are even worth taking

basically trade 116% increased damage and 20% increased damage to fully broken enemies to gain 96% increased damage, 12% increased damage taken, and tons of regen... but i already have instant leech sooooo

10 div down the drain to realize it's not the much of an upgrade, if an upgrade at all? hahahah

[minor tree]

https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile2builds/comments/1njej6j/we_have_better_flicker_at_home_pietys_mercy/

i'm late but someone posted a new iteration on the build, you may like it

[rich crater]

I am following fubgun's LA DE guide, i am using non crit hybrid (Life/ES) build and I am about to buy a Headhunter. I don't shower in divines, so what should I do, buy a non corrupted HH for about 58d and maybe try to spend 3-4 divines later on for decent rolls or just buy a corrupted one for like 55d?

What are maybe the best stats for my build on a HH? str/dex and 2 charms?

[unreal rampart]

If I'm building around Rake, which is 100% physical and bleed, will "% of damage as extra physical damage" be equivalent to "deal % more damage"?

Does this extra damage affect the bleed?

[alpine basin]

bleed is based on the hit that caused it, so yes

[unreal rampart]

Thanks. One more question if you don't mind. Part of Blood Hunt's damage is based on blood loss on the enemy. Is this damage also modified by stuff like "deal % more damage", "extra damage", crits, or stuff like Armour Break which increase damage taken by the enemy?

[torpid abyss]

Do I need to add sockets to each new spectre (skel warriors) I find?

[olive frigate]

attack speed same as projectile speed?

[brittle anvil]

projectile speed is how fast your projectiles fly

[uncut bay]

both choices are fine, 2 charms is very usegul

[scarlet isle]

what are interesting skills/skill combos/uniques that have a huge multiplier?
example: hammer of the gods (x30), LA/LR combo (x160), requiem from the last lament unique (x36)

[harsh sparrow]

what is the difference between Leopold's Applause and Rakiata's Flow? Is there any advantage to use both at the same time?

[unreal rampart]

Attack speed is how fast you attack, projectile speed is how fast the projectile flies (and therefore how far it flies)

[robust ferry]

I want to do a mjolnir ritualist build stacking attributes, would it be best to dual wield it or use a unique shield?

[scarlet isle]

dual!

[static plume]

When I convert damage, like fire > lightning 100% with the gloves; does any + fire damage or similar affect it anymore? Or ONLY lightning related passives / affixes now?

[brittle anvil]

wym "+"? "added fire" will still be added and converted, just not "%increased fire"

[proud sorrel]

I wanna make sure I understand this correctly. When it comes to bleed, the more powerful bleed is prioritized, so if my twister causes a bleed on a target and then I rake it (much stronger bleed) then the rake damage becomes the priority right? and the twisters bleed is just kinda let go?

[scarlet isle]

not sure on gain effects

[junior quiver]

Guys that run lightning arrow ranger- how do you get your dmg? I believe I have quite good gear and Im at 30-35k dmg. Im missing the Rakiata and the other skill gems. I see some screebshots with dmg like 100k or even 1 mill. Maybe my passive skill tree is wrong. If someone can help me with some guides, it will be great.

[brittle anvil]

uhh wrong channel > #1┃build-planning or I mean #1┃crafting-advice ?

[lilac relic]

mb i'll try there

[rugged sand]

Oof I'm hitting such a massive wall at 74 on Ed/cont. I've only just managed to do the third trial and now my spells spend ES that I didn't have enough of, and the damage still isn't good enough 🙂

[rugged sand]

i feel like i still shouldnt be stuck on T3 waystones

[dawn saddle]

is the lvl of skills capped at 40 or can we go higher ?

[rugged sand]

damn bro asking about 40 and ive barely hit 20 🙁

[dawn saddle]

I mean, I don't have it yet, but since I use giant's blood, I can get 14 lvls from the weapons alone

so I'm wondering if I can stack lvls further or if it's pointless

[rugged sand]

im not smart enough to answer lol

[static plinth]

40 is max

[dawn saddle]

ok thx

[static plinth]

Though i dont think you can get above 38 rn

[dawn saddle]

I could get like 50

[static plinth]

14 weapons, 3 amulet, 3 prism, 1 vaal

Thats 41

I forgot vaal and thought weapons were 6

[dawn saddle]

there's nothing else that gives lvl to totems ?

[dawn saddle]

I just looked quickly at it and that's what came to mind, but I thought there was other stuff like uniques or so

well, if lvl 40 is max and I can't reach over 41 anyway, it's fine

[carmine flicker]

Switch to smth else I guess

[minor tree]

there is a +1 to cold spells in the passive tree

[carmine flicker]

Ed/c need +x lvls wand, amulet, focus

[carmine flicker]

+1 chaos too afaik

[rugged sand]

unfortunately the upgrade wand that i have is level 84

lol

[carmine flicker]

Suffer for a bit)
Or go doedre undoing

[rugged sand]

what does that mean lol

[carmine flicker]

Doedre is like rakestomp from 0.2
Huge power from nothing that's kinda hard to scale

[rugged sand]

doedre what lol

[carmine flicker]

Doedre undoing lineage support

[rugged sand]

ah ok

[carmine flicker]

Easy to setup and lvl up with for a bit

Despair /doedre/spell cascade/controlled destruction

Here you go

[rugged sand]

ill take a look, thanks

[real zinc]

did u see the life stacker Flicker, well pseudo flicker build. I will def build that

[carmine flicker]

Won't even need sacrifice es node, it doesn't work anyway

[rugged sand]

lmfao, do i need it ever?

[carmine flicker]

Doesn't work with doedre I mean

[rugged sand]

oh i see, but is it honestly better than the explode ascendancy node?

[carmine flicker]

I used jewel node

And eternal life

[rugged sand]

well yes ill be getting that as well

im the whole eternal life line, and the es sacrifice and jewel

I just don't see how accidentally killing myself is better than enemies explode

[carmine flicker]

https://youtu.be/irfLSpkbTFg?si=uVPJrLU18ukk8mWQ

That's doedre undoing play showcase

I used unholy might last node until I switched to abyssal lich

[jovial patio]

Hi guys, can someone help me determine how to improve this?
I am doing decent damage but abyss monster are not dying in one hit and most of the time overrun me. And once they do, i am dying in 2 sec. What should i do first. I have around 10 div to spare.
https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/Anarok-_-X-1238/character/Byakushin

[regal turtle]

What happened to overabundance III? I swear it was in when the season first launched and now the support appears to just be gone

[carmine flicker]

How about ghost dance?

[jovial patio]

Its there

[carmine flicker]

Oh, sorry, my bad

Wind dancer to knock things from you?

[minor tree]

lesgooo

does a low level curse work for doedre's undoing?

seems the limiting factor was mana

[carmine flicker]

I used lvl 20 for aoe mostly

[minor tree]

on paper, if we ignore the curse effect itself, lvl 3 and lvl 20 should both perform the same

[carmine flicker]

Harder to get overlap in the middle otherwise

[carmine flicker]

Ye
As I said - aoe overlap

Also lvl 3 doesn't work on high lvl enemies

Need lvl 18 at least

[minor tree]

yeah that's what i was wondering, would doedre do damage anyway?

[low roost]

Hello everyone, I am looking for some advice or mentorship on how to get stronger and what gear and modifiers I should focus on improving and getting to see my survivability and damage improve

https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/d86b

This is me. I am playing a blackflame mage from the deadeye ascendancy

[jovial patio]

I kind of copy pasted my yesterdays message. but now my survibality is good, i need more damage

[carmine flicker]

It would

[minor tree]

yummers

[carmine flicker]

But most pinnacle have 0 chaos res
-30 from curse is big

[minor tree]

maybe it's one of those times where a gem swap for bossing is worth it

idk

[carmine flicker]

But if you go lvl 3 curse go spell echo instead of cascade

[minor tree]

either way, real cool

[carmine flicker]

Sorry, can't really help there
The whole melee thing is alien to me

[carmine flicker]

You want to use it for indigon?

As cheap filler

[minor tree]

that's one of the main options for it

technically i want max mana efficiency (sustain higher lvl spells) and/or mana dump options + low cost spells

doedre's with a lvl 3 curse is cheap but still does int as base damage

[carmine flicker]

Double int
Or quadruple int with echo

Or x6 int with cascade if you can overlap

[minor tree]

yep, but yeah the idea is it's the same base damage regardless of level so low gem = HUGE efficiency

i wonder if burning ground would be better though, since i'm going with ignite stuff for incinerate most likely

but i'll find out when i get there

[carmine flicker]

Can use both

[minor tree]

sire of shards is a consideration too

[carmine flicker]

Or "chaos can ignite" one

[minor tree]

nah fire archon makes it do 0 damage

i think i'd rather keep the archon buff

[low roost]

Idk if I made my message in the wrong channel, the build help one won't let me post

[carmine flicker]

Avatar of fire?

[minor tree]

afaik it ignores fire resist too

(incinerate)

since it's entirely "ignite as if dealing X fire damage"

[carmine flicker]

Mostly right channel
Just me abs iv2b are caster players
And I know nothing about deadeye

[low roost]

i am playing caster too

[carmine flicker]

Nah, ignite is reduced by fire res

[minor tree]

i remember people trying it and saying "ignite as though dealing X damage" specifically isn't affected

iirc they removed the fire pen from incinerate too

i guess it's for the same reason

[carmine flicker]

Any particular reason for Ed/c deadeye?

[low roost]

i primarily use fireball

and living bomb

[carmine flicker]

Damage of ignite itself should be affected
It's fire damage after all

[real zinc]

Theoretically with enough dmg u can get Herald of Thunder trigger Herald of Blood. Not vice Versa tho. Herald of Thunder doesnt activate when another Herald Kills sth

[low roost]

i didn't want to play ranger anymore but i didn't make a new character either, the deadeye sounded like it was helpful enough for a fireball mage

ed/c is only on the meta skill for the totem to apply wither

[real zinc]

But if u then give Herald of Blood Poison u can do all sorts of crazy shit with it

[carmine flicker]

Deadeye is in really wrong place of the tree, that's kinda main problem

[real zinc]

Same for Amazon

[carmine flicker]

If you star there you can as well go es/eva

And you missed many important nodes for pure es

4k isn't good at all

[low roost]

yeah I guess deadeye tree is a little far away, I had to waste 7 passive points to start really getting to stuff

i could probably get projectile nodes down there instead to waste a little less

[carmine flicker]

You go all chaos damage and somehow missed void

Really good node

[low roost]

yeah I want to get that

[carmine flicker]

Drop those 2/6 cast speed/damage nodes

Unless you want +1 orb for.. idk

[low roost]

i got those cus the tooltip said it gave more damage than the 7% chaos nodes , but I can switch over

[carmine flicker]

7% ones are bad

Void is great tho

[low roost]

yeah void seems pretty good

[real zinc]

This Node makes Herald of Thunder able to inflict bleed

[carmine flicker]

Anyway
Idk if build can be salvaged
Really bad starting position and so so ascendancy for it

[minor tree]

Oh with dark flame it stops working because archon stops all non fire damage

[timid aurora]

Anyone know of a good budget build ? When ever I search on YouTube people put budget builds worth 20+ divines. I have 2

[low roost]

well, the ascendancy does give +1 projectile which effectively doubles my damage for free right? that's pretty good

[timid aurora]

Or did I just start playing too late

[carmine flicker]

It kinda sorta help clear

And sometimes sort of help against bosses but not really

Since fireball does not shotgun

[low roost]

what do you mean it doesn't shotgun

[minor tree]

Shield wall, poison pathfinder, deadeye la, EDC lich, blood mage anything, tactician shouldn't be too pricey either

[carmine flicker]

You can hit one target with 2 fireballs if you fire up close?

[minor tree]

Any of those should get quite far with 1 div budget

[real zinc]

My Amazon feels the Same. Its not bad per se, but its struggling with too many Modifiers. Stun Threshhold, ailment threshhold extra life

[low roost]

they all blow up on impact yeah

[real zinc]

Its simply lacking raw power

[low roost]

are you telling me they don't do damage

[carmine flicker]

Does every one of them do damage?
Test it

[low roost]

how do you test that

[timid aurora]

I just saw a shield wall vid but he is using constricting helmet.

I need regular build

[minor tree]

You don't have to

[carmine flicker]

Bosses have damage number on their life on top of screen

[minor tree]

Same with lich, you don't need atalui

[carmine flicker]

Fire fireball with and without that node
Then fire with multiple projectile support

Etc

[minor tree]

But anxiety sorrounded helmet is bis for damage

[low roost]

so i should fight a boss, look at the number, then refund my passive tree and and fight the boss again then compare?

[carmine flicker]

Yeah low level fireball and easy act boss

Just to test

I tested lots of things like that

[low roost]

which boss is quick to get to?

[timid aurora]

I might stick with my poison PF then. Doesn't appear to use any the insane div unique

[carmine flicker]

I used yeti in interlude

In a cave
