are all Deodre's undoing builds expensive or are there budget ones

carmine flicker
#

At least I started from cheap when I started mine

prime drift
#

Hey guys, I'm looking for a fairly easy build to play until maps. I work a crazy schedule and the kiddo isn't sleeping a ton so I don't get as much time to play now. It doesn't need to be a totally brainless build, but something that's pretty straightforward and kinda tanky to solo the campaign with would be nice

carmine flicker
#

It give tank part, then you can grab any spell you like to kill

#

Need lvl 28 to equip said item tho

prime drift
carmine flicker
#

I can give you mine, but it's for endgame (65+)
Defences works the same before that, but offence must be adjusted

#

Basically "any spell you like"

carmine flicker
#

Anyway, here it is

midnight bolt
#

has anyone tried ancestral warcry? looks pretty nuts

carmine flicker
#

Some people play it
Mostly hard to stack glory for it fast enough

last arrow
midnight bolt
#

cause with 4 end charges its almost 30 sec duration

carmine flicker
last arrow
#

ohh i see

#

i hate how all of these builds come online so late. I miss poe where so many builds are fine by lvl 38

pearl sluice
#

Deadeye works at level 1

last arrow
#

lmao yep unfortunately already done 😄

carmine flicker
#

Before.. ed/c
Arc
Bonestorm
Tickling mobs to death with pointy stick(you are tanky enough to do it if you have patience)

last arrow
#

it wouldn't be as bad if getting 65 didn't take forever in htis game

carmine flicker
last arrow
#

less, but that's still terrible

#

vs. 2 hours in poe

carmine flicker
#

Yeah
In poe1 you can finish acta in a few hours

#

Tbh my poe1 builds usually need lvl 70+ as well

last arrow
#

yeah, but again, it doesn't take a whole day to get there

#

needing 70+ in poe isn't bad

carmine flicker
#

It does for me
I'm.. well.. let's call it meditative

#

I mean, i need 8h in poe1
16 in poe2

last arrow
#

twink leveling has gotten better in poe2 this patch. I'm hoping it continues

#

8h twink in poe1 is insane LOL

carmine flicker
#

I usually lvl like rf with no move skills

#

Just walk while watching smth

#

Looking from time to time in game to see I'm walking to a wall cor last minute

last arrow
#

i could never not use shield charge and frostblink in poe for lvling. it's too good

carmine flicker
#

Well
I'm not fast player

#

I'm lazy one

last arrow
#

shield charge in poe2 might be the worst feeling movement skill I've ever seen in any game

carmine flicker
#

Using more than one button pains me

last arrow
carmine flicker
#

You can see that in my build

#

Lazy one button clicker

#

With screen wide aoe cause aiming is too much work

#

I use leap slam late game ofc in poe1
Cause why not
But in general I'm.. relaxed player, lol

fast wind
#

how do people get 10k damage on rake?

quartz snow
#

has anyone tried volcanic fissure yet if so is it any good

alpine basin
prime drift
#

it is true you have to get to act 4 before you can even buy from the marketplace?

carmine flicker
#

Hammer also better as standalone ranged attack too

alpine basin
#

Hammer is goated

#

As far as fissure builds go. Looks good, feels good, kills good

last arrow
#

Are there any monk staff skills that have a CD? Trying to think of a use for a hollow palm Chronomancer for the funsies

carmine flicker
#

Non I can think of
Also hammer chrono sounds funnier

#

Cause..
Hammer time!

last arrow
#

Yeah that was going around last season, which looked pretty cool. Hammer was nerfed though right?

carmine flicker
#

I mean new hammer

#

The forge hammer

quartz snow
carmine flicker
#

Slam them

raven cairn
#

Has anyone seen any rare hounds of the pit pop up?

last arrow
carmine flicker
last arrow
#

Hollow palm sounds more interesting, but not much you can do other than the slow enemies or the bubble

carmine flicker
#

Or just big 2h hammer, idk

#

You can go es/str stack/titan grip/heroic tragedy

#

1% es per 2 str

low hare
coral finch
#

watching someone do LA things, mentions a warmonger bow is the go once you start using the omnidirectional support gem, i've been using that since my twin bow at 57 should my next bow be warmonger? i've been looking for this kind of bow atm

image.png
#

currently on a 2 div gemini and the bow/amulet are my next big upgrades

#

i also don't see the option so search for warmonger on the website

carmine flicker
low hare
#

Dang, how does lich give an additional 70% damagw btw?

carmine flicker
#

30% more for spending ES, 40 for spending charges

#

Or inferno and 30% more from demon form I guess

quiet forge
#

what content is 18k eva enough for?

#

i see a lot of builds go to 30+

carmine flicker
low hare
#

Hmm thats fair, make sense

carmine flicker
#

You can take inevitable agony tho from chrono

#

If you don't mind extra button

dreamy bridge
#

just realized it'd be kinda funny to use rigwald's ferocity as a form of blood and sand

formal silo
#

if you take blackflame cov and ignite enemies when you pop ignite with snap its not purple fire its just regular flame animation?

uncut bay
gentle veldt
#

what weapon should I use in weapon set II for a build with attacks/quarterstaff? Something to improve my voltaic mark?

jovial karma
#

Wanted to try something new. Was thinking of doing a new character and doing an ice build. I’m tired of lighting everything. Has anyone liked poison or ice rangers?

vast veldt
#

i'm playing ice ranger now too but it's still in campaign

jovial karma
#

Okay thank you. That’s what I wanted to do for the campaign.

fervent scroll
limber hound
#

i saw someone with witch minions doing cold explosion, what am i looking at?

tulip fog
#

a bit hard to tell without some description of what the skill looked like

#

was it white circles that spawned on the ground? that might be the "cocaine ants" and would not be a cold explosion build
was it ice crystals? or maybe Herald of Ice triggers?
you get my meaning, there is simply too many options it could be, we would need some description of the skill

carmine flicker
#

But most likely it's ants

#

and that build isn't about explosions

tulip fog
#

does anyone know where you find Blood Elementals? which act?

#

i see in PoB2 that those have the highest life-pool when spectred (that we can see the correct health of)

#

was thinking of which spectre would be best for a infernal legion build

#

its just a damn shame that the modifier for Infernal Legion support isnt working in PoB2

#

so its hard to see what increases the damage and area

carmine flicker
#

It's minion damage

#

So at least all minion damage mods should work

tulip fog
#

yeah, and i know all minion life mods should work too, but other than that, like, what supports that gives best damage, what annoints to use etc
its also debatable which minion to use for it, i see the Blood Elemental got shit movespeed, so if you dont want to weaponswap constantly to spawn them at your location, maybe frozen Mandibles are better? they got slightly less healthpool but are much faster, or the Faridun Impaler? idk

last arrow
#

how's the verdict been for Hollow Palm? Good for endgame, or too difficult to scale?

daring berry
#

Is there a reason to scale flammability magnitude over 100%
my tooltip flammability magnitude on my incinerate is 121%-177%
should i uninvest until i get that down to 100% - 1xx% and just put on more base damage?

tulip fog
#

Disclaimer: this is what i would think/do myself if i were in your situation, i havent actually tested this myself yet.

if you are instantly igniting boss-level enemies (filling their flammability) with the first hit you deal to them then yes i would say you dont need more magnitude.
i dont know if there are any other reasons to investing higher than that in flammability magnitude

daring berry
#

makes sense, i now know where to look to get the feel for that

strong frost
rugged kraken
#

If a beast is infused with that wisp mechanic and you tame them do they keep the modifiers?

midnight geode
#

does ingenuity belt work on the extra ring u can get with ritualist? Any knowers

uncut trout
#

So if my affixes are full, does that mean omen of dextral necromancy will also only remove a suffix, since it has to add one as well?

frosty fulcrum
#

stuck in act3 with a spark bloodmage (plan for mapping is a maxxed out crit build). My current spark + orb of storms set up is doing doo-doo damage. Should I swap spark out for something like arc until I'm high level enough for cast on crit?

#

or is it possible to get spark doing good damage in act 3 with the correct support gems?

restive ocean
#

What is a bigge dmg boost, -4 Constricting helmet or buying the bloodletting gem i can only afford one atm

sturdy trench
#

As a titan warrior, I have a lot of resistance against armor and elemental damage, but how do I get resistance against chaos damage, primarily against chaos dots? Even at 70% chaos resistance, they almost one shot me

faint skiff
#

Hello guys, can anyone who play Witch with minion share own build? I wonder

rugged kraken
rugged kraken
sturdy trench
rugged kraken
sturdy trench
#

And there is still a lot of chaos ground effect, specially at abyss

carmine flicker
dreamy bridge
#

is there like a best defensive/meat shield spectre? currently using the vaal overseer (the big vaal with a sword)

carmine flicker
#

I never noticed chaos debuffs on my lich, and I don't have CI and only 22% chaos res and ES take double damage from chaos
Also many abyss ground effects are phys damage that armour doesn't reduce since it's a dot

dreamy bridge
carmine flicker
#

I doubt poison are his main problem tbh

minor tree
#

something is off with indigon and incinerate, it doesn't seem to do anything at all to it

#

even with 4k mana spent it barely creeps up to 50% flammability and sometimes doesn't even ignite afterwards lol

sturdy trench
carmine flicker
#

So you have way more hp against chaos than me
3500 life and 70 chaos res is way more than 15k es with 24 chaos res
And I tank everything, chaos included, without any worry

#

So may be it's not chaos?

sturdy trench
#

It's definitely chaos, because it's from abyss mobs

pale hemlock
#

I’m currently using ball lightning and warp, does great damage. But is there a simple way to increase the amount of balls, maybe some that spawn on warp or something. When I cast then warp to all of them, feels like it slows the clearing down a lot having to recast them so frequently, any suggestions would be great 🙂

sturdy trench
#

Maybe with 5% more chaos resistance it could me more doable, but I don't know if I could add another layer of defence against chaos

carmine flicker
minor tree
#

yeah i don't get it, even with 800% spell damage incinerate is doing 0 damage (doesn't do enough to actually build up enough flammability and when it does, it barely tickles) wtf

carmine flicker
#

And those ground dots are phys , not chaos

sturdy trench
carmine flicker
#

No

#

Armour reduce hits

sturdy trench
#

So there is no way to mitigate it?

carmine flicker
#

Also hit like a truck, I lose lile 2-3k per second in them in t16
(I have 15k es so not big deal)

carmine flicker
#

So no
Have to jump out

sturdy trench
carmine flicker
#

I'm also poison immune, but I encounter poison so rare I don't think it even matter

minor tree
#

doedre's undoing here would've 1shot the enemy

carmine flicker
minor tree
#

but still, something is sus

#

indigon should be doing WAY more damage

carmine flicker
#

Does incinerate even scale with spell dmg?

minor tree
#

it absolutely does

carmine flicker
#

And do you have +10 gem lvls?

#

In total

minor tree
#

this is still interlude

carmine flicker
#

Spells need to be like lvl 30 to hurt t15 mobs

minor tree
carmine flicker
#

Oh

minor tree
#

actual tickle-tier damage

#

but i'm doing trash-tier damage in general

#

outside of doedre being busted

carmine flicker
#

may be drop that useless noncense then?

#

go full undoing

minor tree
#

but 🙁

carmine flicker
#

it scales well with indigon

#

and unlike ignite it actually scales with cast speed...

minor tree
#

i mean, even then, something weird is going on

#

other spells are affected too, they do a bit more but not 8x

#

althought the tooltip dps definitely says so

carmine flicker
#

yeah, at lvl 64 incinerate deal 200-300 base damage
ignite is 80% of that....

minor tree
carmine flicker
#

that's like x4 damage

minor tree
#

earlier with a regular ignite build it actually was doing big damage

carmine flicker
#

so 850 or smth base ignite per second

minor tree
#

i switched to cold for ease of use

carmine flicker
#

should be better than that for sure

gentle veldt
#

should i reroll desecrate to phys for my tempest flurry build?

image.png
carmine flicker
minor tree
#

yep

carmine flicker
#

idk them

#

may be ignite magnitude is that important?

minor tree
#

atm i'm doing other spells with archmage to further boost it, still super ass

#

i don't even

carmine flicker
#

may be not enough +spell lvls on gear, really

#

you are more or less obkigated to have +X total, up to +10

#

but even now at least +6 or smth

minor tree
#

i'm still just in campaign

carmine flicker
#

yeah, that's why +6, not +10 or more

minor tree
#

and indigon's deal is that you only want mana efficiency and enough cast speed to balance it out

#

since cheaper spell (lower level) means more increased spell damage

carmine flicker
#

+5 to gem lvl is around x2.5 damage

#

+10 is x5

minor tree
#

spark at 15 vs 20 is 1.8x damage for 1.7x the mana cost
so with indigon, in theory, the difference is only 10% if i can ramp it up and keep it there

carmine flicker
#

normal build have around 600-800% increased
you need to get total of 4000% with indigon increased to get even with simple +10 to gems

carmine flicker
minor tree
#

i picked one as example, it gets worse (for indigon) at even higher levels

#

but that's around where i'm at

#

now, i forgot how much spell damage i had before unfortunately, i didn't think of writing it down

carmine flicker
#

arc is 1.95 at 20 vs 15

minor tree
#

but how tf was i doing way more damage with a random cold build vs now, it should be doing way way more

#

consider i had turbo trash gear

carmine flicker
#

that's why I said doedre
doesn't need lvls, can be as cheap as you want, int scale mana by it's nature

minor tree
#

still, i have the feeling a regular build would just do more

carmine flicker
minor tree
#

i've seen incinerate do absolutely deranged things

#

so it can work, but yeah in this case nothing is working except doedre being busted xD

carmine flicker
#

are you sure incinerate even works with indigon?

minor tree
#

it definitely is doing more, just from nothing to barely anything

#

but the same is true for other spells

carmine flicker
#

you need 4 second for 12 stacks ncinerate
it's exactly the time you lose all indigon stacks

#

also may be mana tempest doesn't work as cost for indigon?

minor tree
#

oh mana tempest definitely works

#

lmao somehow my frost darts have a base tooltip dps of 70

#

at level 65

#

what

carmine flicker
#

so yeah, may be by the time you apply ignite indigon lost half it's stacks already and so yeah

carmine flicker
minor tree
#

and goes up to 800 with mana tempest and indigon

carmine flicker
#

you don't have 90% less damage somewhere?

dreamy bridge
#

ninja snuck in a brutality in your gem

minor tree
tulip fog
#

how likely is it to get a Abyssal Depths in Act 2? is it possible to farm zones to get it?

dreamy bridge
#

earliest I've seen a depths is act 3 or 4

minor tree
#

but still

#

reminder: this is lvl 65 interlude XD

tulip fog
carmine flicker
#

well
mobs there actually have some HP, I guess

#

some thousands of hp

minor tree
#

i actually have no idea how i could have that low damage x)

#

i did skip all %increased spell damage nodes, because ofc indigon is giving so much they'd barely be noticeable

#

but ???????

carmine flicker
#

like in t15 white mobs have 100k+ hp easy
and between 79 and 65 there is like.. 2x life difference according to poe2db

minor tree
#

i'm so bummed about it

#

i want to make it work to at least not have all the hours spent leveling go to waste, and goddamn it sucked, remnants are awful

carmine flicker
#

you may be don't have enough mana yet?

#

how much do you have anyway

minor tree
#

but i don't even know what could be done here besides respeccing

#

i have 2k total, 600% regen

#

350 int

carmine flicker
#

but even with 2000 mana you should get 500% increased

minor tree
#

all gear has max mana, mana regen and int where possible x)

carmine flicker
#

but since doedre still rock and it's base damage isn't astronomical

#

I can say.. your base damage on other spells suck

minor tree
#

full stats

image.png
carmine flicker
#

like doedre have 700 base
incinerate ignite have 800 DPS AFTER ALL STACKS

#

man, that's sad

minor tree
#

ikr

#

doedre just is that good

carmine flicker
#

except doedre cascade and proc 2-3 times

#

nah, spell are JUST THAT BAD without a lot of +X to lvls

#

I had +6 in ACT 1 for my ED/C really

#

to deal good damage

minor tree
#

for context, incinerate can definitely slap too

#

all doedre builds i've seen tend to be a bit less amazing at these levels

#

but still super good and with mad aoe

#

still, yes spells are ass, but before switching it was still doing way better (outside of doedre)

#

hence why i'm perplexed

carmine flicker
#

yeah
doedre scales from 350 to like 650 int(in endgame)
less than x2
meanwhile getting from 15 to 30 gem is like.. x10 or more

minor tree
#

before i was pathing to the top cold cluster
also i had +3 levels (cluster gives another +1)
and about 120% increased spell dmg from gear

#

nova would freeze in 1-2 casts and frost darts were actually dealing damage (although mainly only to frozen enemies)

#

vs tickle damage

#

eh it's just demoralizing, i was looking forward to it

carmine flicker
#

play doedre till 75

#

where you would get +10 or better spell gear

minor tree
#

there's still the whole mana efficiency problem to solve even then

#

but nah i don't have it in me

carmine flicker
#

Incinerate doesn't cost mana

#

and every other spell is there to spend it

#

so w/e?

minor tree
#

in theory yes, in practice cast on ailment is most likely not enough to saturate indigon

#

and tempest isn't stable, it'll always run out by itself

carmine flicker
#

what can I say..
cast on minion death? )

minor tree
#

even then, it's not like incinerate is just doing mediocre damage, it's barely doing ANY at all lol
while it was doing mighty fine before the indigon swap

minor tree
#

but with corpsewade and sacrifice hahaha

carmine flicker
#

2k mana too low for indigon
barely compensate for no increases

#

when you get 8k mana it would be another story at all

minor tree
#

8k mana needs eldritch battery i think

carmine flicker
minor tree
#

it's mainly regen rather than mana

#

but eh i cba to figure it out

carmine flicker
#

yeah, imo indigon, while isn't a trap per se, is.. hard to do

minor tree
#

i can still do recoup shenanigans at least

#

i did buy some gear for it with good corruptions too

#

but i'm honestly turned off by it when 1 jewel has the equivalent of 100% recoup but for life costs

carmine flicker
#

btw zenith recoup doesn't work

#

for some reason

carmine flicker
minor tree
#

oh not with indigon

#

indigon dies

minor tree
carmine flicker
minor tree
carmine flicker
#

I know

minor tree
#

but also imagine slapping atalui's and 100% life recoup on a life stacking lich or smth

carmine flicker
#

blood mage then, not lich

minor tree
#

blood mage works too

#

or do it on infernalist, casual 600+ demon form stacks, 1 jewel cost, no infernal flame needed either, cool

#

it shouldn't bother me but it does, odds are i'll just pick something more meta for 0.4

#

and drop poe2 until then

carmine flicker
#

dangerous cause poison exist and can suddenly kill you in bad moment

#

when half of your life is reserved

#

oh well
you only have 25% reserved. for spirit I guess
or for ES

fierce viper
#

does anyone know if loyalty stacks in 2 companions?

carmine flicker
minor tree
#

if you mean the infernalist stuff

carmine flicker
#

why 0 reservation?

minor tree
#

because what for, no need for it

carmine flicker
#

you can afford 25% easy

#

for spirit
life stack = tons of spirit

I bet I can do better

if I had any desire to play

#

except move speed I guess

#

move speed is a trap. bad stat. don't value it

minor tree
#

well i've seen frost dart with 600k tooltip dps, before the 600 demon form stacks lmao

#

atalui, not even once

#

i was trying to look for the build but i can't find it

#

this one

#

xesht dies with 1 dart lmao

carmine flicker
#

also all that elemental infusion shit can go to garbage bin if you ask me

minor tree
#

mb, 2 darts

#

i love the demon form shenanigans btw, just sucks that 1 jewel is BIS + atalui for all spellcasting builds lol

carmine flicker
#

well

#

it will be like that until they drop enough content on us there would be tons of hidden OP gems

minor tree
#

only upside is that my shield-focused warrior actually has been quite fun

#

but that's me being super lucky that the skills don't scale horrendously

carmine flicker
#

but once you are immortall enough there is little difference between 600k DPS and 6M DPS

#

can't have that when I oneshot boss tho

yea unfortunately I haven't had a chance to play a build that works yet, though I played on all 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3

strong frost
midnight geode
#

lets say i gain 100% of dmg as extra chaos dmg, but my build is only lightning and cold, would i benefit from chaos dmg nodes like this one?

95589F59-45F1-4D71-8C1C-6424B6E25078.png
#

or does it just take my dmg as a whole and adds on top of it

carmine flicker
#

it takes base damage(cold and lightning in your case), add 100% of it as chaos
then eash damage part is affected by all mods that affect that damage part

#

so modifiers to lightning damage won't affect chaos at all

midnight geode
#

i see

#

if i use embitter

#

now its all elemental right?

#

for the skill im using it on ofc

magic pier
#

if i have 100% increased armour break do i fully break enemy armour on heavy stun?

carmine flicker
midnight geode
carmine flicker
#

and won't benefit from that node ofc

#

since not chaos

Any flicker build this season ?

#

#

does the "damager as extra phys" from Atalui's Bloodletting get scaled by increased spell physical damage?

#

it appears to according to ingame tooltip and pob, but I thought the "as extra" was applied at the end after scaling

tulip fog
#

can anyone confirm if its possible to find "Blackblooded Tarhulk" monsters inside any Abyssal Depths? Poe2DB says they can be found in Abyssal Depths (Act 2) but i have never seen any Abyssal Depths before halfway through act 3

carmine flicker
sharp thorn
pearl sluice
#

yeah the conversion is actually why for example if you have convert all phys to lightning and then had a bonus phys damage roll you would actually get nothing from it because it converts to lightning and then tries to add bonus phys % to all lightning dmg

guys which ascendancy for a fissure focused build on warrior? Titan or warbringer?

I never ended up playing the bleed builds with rake last season. I’m trying to make a rake/disengage build. I’m trying to be able to just hit everything once in juiced maps with rake but finding myself having to hit rates a few times with rake.

fair question, i've been bopped by those as well. Not sure if they are lightning or cold or phys or some other kind of "runic" damage or something. Maybe armor bypassing in some way? I did a cursory search around a lil bit ago and didnt find anything about it

#

I always just ranged/hit and run them if they show up in a juiced map I didn't want to faceroll into

#

I feel like ES fared better against them than evasion or armor, but not sure if that's legit or just a coincidence

support is a must

vernal falcon
#

Tho hmm, not using a sceptre for this idea might be worth it

#

might have to spells or a spear

brittle anvil
#

the passive is "damage with bow" tho

vernal falcon
#

yea ik, it'd only be a 1x proj speed > damage, but with how much you can theoretically stack proj speed on abyssal lich might not be an issue

brittle anvil
#

then you could just get spell or attack damage bla

vernal falcon
#

and Skeleton archers cost much less than storm mages

brittle anvil
#

that "more" doesn't count btw

vernal falcon
#

eh even still, that much proj speed would make the sparks hit a bunch, and again Archers cost almost half the spirit a storm mage does

Would Long Fuse support gem on Frost Bomb cause it to increase the amount of exposure that it applies? I wasnt sure if increasing its detonation time caused it to pulse at the same rate of speed for a longer time or if it simply delays the pulse speed to compensate for longer detonation time

Or secondary ideas, I'm essentially trying to increase the time that the exposure stays on the boss while reducing the amount of times I need to cast frost bomb

Wasn't sure if the prolonged duration support gem affected the Exposure debuff timer edit according to the stats tab for frost bomb, prolonged duration is increasing the debuff timer

it actualy isnt consisten. i think the In pressence detection might be messing with it sometimes i get 40%(20) and sometimes 80%(40) but im always in melee range when getting stun so i think if the stagger for the boss goes back far enough its considered not in range for presence instead of being calculated at the time the stun is applied

as armour can reduce the hits a lot and is limited by HP

reinforced barrier is literally better when you have zero ES on items

you will have more effective max hit by... simply going pure ES

es/eva have a lot more going together that armour/es, both nodes, ghost dance, basic functions(eva is good right until it isn't and ES cover that, meanwhile eva give ES time ro recharge. And "lead me through grace" exist on top

Obviously I can always go to poe2ninja and just see what the highest guy is doing and copy and paste, but just for my own knowledge about the game (and that I wont be playing the same build every league, I also play poe1) I also dont want to rely on guides and other people forever

west wharf
#

you can only scale post-conversion values

#

if you have 100% physical dmg -> 100% fire dmg -> 100% lightning dmg conversion for example, increased %phys and increased %fire dmg do nothing

#

only %inc lightning dmg would work

#

so scaling-wise u scale the fire, base dmg-wise it's generally a mix

#

when looking for flat rolls on gloves/rings u mainly go for elemental

#

cus 1) physical flat rolls are lower values
2) u don't have 100% phys>fire conversion

#

when crafting weapons u have a choice

#

u can either do full elemental like some mix of flat fire + flat lightning + gain % dmg as fire + ele dmg% prefixes

#

or u can do physical with high % and high flat phys

#

it's different from rings/gloves because phys rolls on weapon r scaling the base phys dmg on the wep + multiply off each other, so you can reach very high numbers with a good wep

#

whereas individual flat rolls on rings/gloves, phys can't reach the same values as flat ele rolls

#

typically with these conversion skills, a good phys weapon and a good ele weapon are quite similar in final dmg values

#

but a near-perfect phys weapon is typically better than a near-perfect ele weapon, as again the % and flat multiply off each other whereas flat ele rolls are independent

#

//

#

in terms of what kind of flat u look for, it's mostly fire dmg early on

#

when u can afford a rakiata's flow it stops mattering as much, since u have full reverse pen on all elements

#

so u could drop fire pen/fire-specific scaling and pick up lightning/cold flat as well

#

most common with these fire skills is to do some combo of fire and lightning dmg ultimately (or just pure lightning with valako's, but imo that's worse than mixed in most setups cus u can shock with mixed dmg without having to sacrifice ur glove slot)

#

cus ignite kinda blows and shock is great for dmg, and lightning flat rolls higher than fire flat

Is there any way to see teh damage of Raging Spirits summoned from fire spells? I summon them and look at the skill stats and it doesnt list damage just everything else

Anyone toyed around with the STR/INT section of the passive tree? Curious if there's much there worth exploring for mixing spells with a shield.

#

Seems like the most undeveloped portion of the passives.

Gotcha. Just thinking about rolling up a bone bloodmage with a shield on the offset. There don't seem to be many + physical damage nodes though to support hybrid.

#

So maybe just pure defensive angle.

I mean bloodmage on phys is just rathpith + the physical gain per life cost support gem

Hi...im still new to deadeye lightning arrow/rods/tornado shot/barrage

Still at level 42, and i can't beat mektul and doryani

I tried copying fubgun's build but I have no roa or summon companion 🙁

And i feel my dps is very weak, it takes eternity to kill elites in the black chambers 😅 😅 😅

Any help or link to point me at the right direction 🙏 🙏 🙏

Thinking:
Big health spectre -> detonate dead to cause a big ignite -> self immolation -> cracklecreep to instakill anything that goes near you

#

i'm curious to find if there's any way to use enemy's stats as a damage vector, without having to get the kill first (otherwise DD, decompose, blood boil, etc all apply)

1 big minion + sacrifice could be decent to get the first kill if needed

breaking armor could also work since it scales with the enemy level and doesn't need huge requirements

#

also i wonder what happens if i try to sacrifice a minion while umbilicus immortalis is active (says minions cannot die, rather than can't be damaged below 0 for X seconds)

Hellow, I'm theorycrafting a very straightforward infernalist fireball build. The idea is to spam fireball/firewall/other fire spells, with cast speed/crit.

Do I gain much/lose much by picking Blackflame Covenant? I feel like the damage will be similar, I'll just focus on chaos node instead of fire node, and it's a question of purple fireball instead of orange fireball. Am I correct?

#

As a side note, I'm noticing than most maxroll fire builds don't actually pick any +fire dmg node or fire pen node. Is that a trap I should avoid?

Does anyone know what are the best mana nodes close to my tree?

#

Having mana issues and 5.5% leech + walker of the winds isn't enough

#

I probably have ~3/4 points of leeway

teal lion
#

i.e. this seems decent since it also has es

image.png
#

but im not sure if maybe I should go for mana efficiency instead

noble helm
#

In that case, try doing this instead:

  • Add efficiency gem in your elemental expression
  • Add quality on the ring for "Attack type" to increase the leech amount
#

Me thinks that will solve yout issues

teal lion
#

Sorry, I'm not sure what the elemental expression is

#

Might be dumb

noble helm
#

Your acsendancy

teal lion
#

Oh right

noble helm
#

You got mana flare in it

#

You can try removing mana flare and adding anything to yield damage

teal lion
#

Oh right...

noble helm
#

And if that doesn't worm

#

Just add efficiency

teal lion
#

I actually think the mana issues started after mana flare but I didn't connect the dots

#

Thanks

noble helm
#

It did

#

Sure

#

Elem expression for clearing is sort of... meh

#

I'd rather use that as an addition

#

Slot in things like blind II, freeze, efficiency, even maim

#

And it will help a lot still

#

While let your othet skills + a herald or something around those lines do main damage

#

Will look the same visually, but you should feel better

teal lion
#

Ye I already have blind, freeze etc

#

Thanks!

noble helm
#

Sure sure

teal lion
#

Also I dont think I can put Maim on it

#

Unless I'm blind

noble helm
#

I'm pretty sure i had it on there, there's still a chance I'm remembering wrongly

you can tell since the other gear has white requirements, meaning it's the base value

#

would fire resist affect the ignite magnitude i apply to myself through self immolation? 🤔

iron harbor
#

It reduces the damage taken, yeah

minor tree
#

nono, i'm after the magnitude of the ignite, not the damage taken

#

i'm looking for any way to do a single big hit without sacrifice + big hp minions or on-kill effects 🤔

#

or at least something that scales off of the enemy stats (like breaking armor)

iron harbor
#

Hmm I don't think so, it should be the same magnitude as you inflict *0.6

minor tree
#

Noted!

#

I wonder if there's any way to increase damage of ignite I proliferate 🤔

Because that'd be a feedback loop

Even if very slow

Hi quick question about Filtering.

Im trying to set my filter up to show weapons and gear applicable to my warrior (so maces and armour ect)

But the filter still shows “Tier’d” weapons and gear that isn’t applicable to that, and I’m unsure how to make it so even the tiered gear gets filtered out to just reveal what I want

does this critical weakness buff apply on the hit that consumes the mark?

# static plinth Probably more to fully go crit

8 div gives 32 percent dps increase even without switching to crit build. Leaving me with 18 div. Unfortunately all crit quivers are dps decreases so ill upgrade rings or neck or something since all my items are 1div or less

So, does anyone know how to properly use the "Trade for these items" functionality in PoB?

  • I have a single skill selected in Full DPS
  • I click Trade for these items and set my weigths to be 1 for Full DPS and 0 for everything else
  • I click on "Weapon", open the url, sort by "Sum"
#

I would expect the one at the top to be better than the one at the bottom according to pob

#

The top one gives me +11.5%

#

the second 22.8%

#

what am I doing wrong?

#

The third one is straight up bad

#

Do you need to do combined dps or something? Cause those 3 items are in order of physical dps and total dps

Im having trouble scaling chaos bolt with BM since im not really stacking too much life and and pinpoint is cutting my crt bonus by a lot... i was thinking on stacking spirit and using umbral with abbysal lich but idk if that change is good since pob doesnt support any of that... would be lich overall be better for it or abyssal maybe would work with decent spirit? im not very experiencie with poe2 formulas or scalings i simply stacked crt and crt bonus with chaos dmg...

#

i also have weapon swap for single target and considered casting swap sione for single target

#

i think my build is overall okay, maybe its the hh carrying it but i dont die often and the clear seems pretty good with the gloom shrine thing

#

but i have the feeling i could be doing a lot more

minor tree
#

i've added cracklecreep and the spectral fire bow to my sorceress, respecced to path into self immolation, so i'm doing almost no ignite magnitude and i have no ignite damage bonus

however, the damage does ramp up from a few hundred to a few thousands, but doesn't go further(?)

i suspect i just don't have enough ignite damage to scale it much higher than what the first burst allows

#

and my self ignite doesn't spread fast enough lol due to no flammability

#

but there's something there

#

my self-ignite too, before ramping up it does like 1% flammability before it expires, but if moving to a new pack it'll get to like 30-40%

#

so it's definitely ramping up

#

i'd imagine with proper investment this would at worst make you deal 8s worth of ignite as a single ignite, then you can spread it around (meaning there's no need for a single huge hit), and at best have it spread back and forth until it does infinite damage

There are no breakpoints

Any building advice

muted umbra
# static plinth 200%+ is pretty good for all 3

Well, what I mean is in POE1 there were essentially soft rules tossed around for building, like 'hey if you're on softcore you should have 160-180% life or 260% ES, and "blah blah" amount of EHP, and more generally cuts into damage too much' and those sort of loose rules helped me make my first builds back in the day and I'm not sure if POE2 has any generalizations yet

muted umbra
#

Anyway, because I get an error when trying to talk in the church of the evoker, I'll ask here. Is unarmed cast on crit invoker anything? Seems like the absurd attack speed + high crit from ES you can achieve on it would set it up to be a fast spammer

lone wave
#

I would say though, for hollow palm id rather go lightning/cold and power charges, for fire i'd want maces and potentially the endurance charges

#

as far as melee goes

snow arch
#

The #1 goal is to be unarmed and to use ancestral cry to go super saiyan
I would be an avatar of fire titan but it's 500 miles from hollow palm the passives on the way aren't conducive to punching, and I would be an invoker but there's no way to get consistent ignites without a weapon to fill up ancestral cry

#

so I picked the subclass with the passive that lets everything ignite

haughty nexus
#

anyone know for sure if Inspiring Ally counts all %damage which boosts companions, not just specifically companion damage (ie generic minion damage counts too)

snow arch
#

its absolutely working out, I just feel like maybe I missed something incredibly basic to solve the self immolation problem

haughty nexus
#

pob seems to think so

snow arch
#

its probably definitely only companion damage as written

#

but you could just slap on a random scepter or jewel with %minion damage and see if number go up in the real game

lone wave
#

its not giving you companions boosted damage, its giving you the "increased companion damage" modifier

#

it's not a description, it's a name

haughty nexus
#

my guess with typical PoE wording is generic minion damage aint do shit

#

I mean the most "incredibly basic" thing is to just wear Ashrend

its also funny that hand of chayula enables armor break, shock magnitude, and ele res shred in one button

#

especially since we have ways of giving our charges to our allies, only for them to get nothing out of it

The concern was not needing jewelers to open support slots.
The concern was not having the attributes to have enough of the off colors, and wanting the blues for their functions.
"Filler skills" is a heck of a word combo. Every build should be using every skill slot for the build, no space left for fillers.
The only character I could see myself having leftover skill slots on is a Darkness monk

#

ofc the guy went on to point out he wasn't using fire spells on that infernalist, but hollow palm, so that changes various parameters

static plinth
#

Even playing EDC in .1 i didnt use every slot

#

And that had 6 active skills

#

7 if you included chaos bolt

#

I had 2+my wand skill after spirit gems

static plinth
#

Attributes is fair but getting ~50 int usually isnt a big deal, since you probably want at least 30 for supports anyway

lone wave
#

well lets consider the chaos Lich of Third Edict.
Spirit: Wither, naturally, and a 2nd of preference.
Apply: Contagion & Essence drain with buffed duration, Decay, Enfeeble &/or Temporal chain (depending on whether you've built for 2 curses or 3 and preference)
Place: the totem, Blackflame firewall & living bomb.
Attack: blackflame fireball.
So thats 10 or 11.

They are trying to make a game where we use multitude of skills.
They don't want us to end up just applying contagion + decay and spamming essence drain.

#

The old staple of people just spamming spark and nothign else probably makes them sad

static plinth
#

A multitude of skills is, id say, 4. EDC is a very very button heavy build

#

And considering builds in 1 are 2 most of the time id say 4 is a pretty fair success

lone wave
#

back in league one I had a tri element sorc.
It used all 3 seperate cast on element ailment spirits

#

Not sure how I feel about those having been clumped into one skill now

static plinth
#

I dont like it because of the massive spirit cost associated with it

lone wave
#

feel free to blame me, as if some dev saw me playing with all three

#

In any case, the skill slots are part of a build loadout.
Leaving some of them out as empty or "filler" feels like leaving an armor slot empty

indigo pilot
#

cast on crit at least only charges if it's active, so you have to use the right weapon

atomic halo
#

so when you swap, the spirit is freed and the skill is deactivated

indigo pilot
#

The main reason to swap is how expensive it is so you need something like a scepter in one of the weapon sets

Whats the best option defensively? Pure armor? Some hybrid?

For a warrior*

carmine flicker
#

excluding that - armour stack on tital, 90 res on kitava, block+life+armour on warbringer

#

thats not rlly true

#

ES stacking is better then armor for sure but EV is pretty solid and deadeye does go hybrid ev es for example

#

basically hitting the softcap for its effectiveness then stacking eshield after

carmine flicker
#

well, for warrior eva is even less of an option that armour

#

and for deadeye. ghost dance and good nodes like substefuge mask helps a lot for eva/es I guess

#

(still think ES is better than hybrid tho, just impossible to stack on deadeye)
