[graceful wraith]

No. Zombies will continue to be nerfed until morale improves.

[frigid ferry]

thank you for responding but fuuuuuuuuuu

[river frigate]

wyvern anyone?

[polar wraith]

im progging druid rn and idk what asc to pick whats the best?

[summer pasture]

Depends on what youre doing

[celest oxide]

Is Wyvern kinda sleeper good?

Oil Breath and Rend both chunk things

[summer pasture]

It's not sleeper just takes abit to get going

[fallen shard]

Shouldnt I be able to use Herald of Ice when playing Talisman on druid? Cause it tells me "Not useable with current Set settings"

[celest oxide]

I could see an Empowered Rend build going kinda crazy

[polar wraith]

im playing bear rn but idk if theres something better

[summer pasture]

Are you in town, if so you aren't shifted so you are stuck to the staff

Once you go to a zone you'll be good

[polar wraith]

what would you recommend @summer pasture

[summer pasture]

Bear

[fallen shard]

Just exited town, still cant use it, even when I have a random mace equipped instead

[polar wraith]

what asc?

[summer pasture]

Titan or shaman imo

[summer pasture]

Do you have it turned on?

[fallen shard]

I cant even turn it on, just says I have the wrong Weapon set settings still

[summer pasture]

Not sure then

[silver urchin]

Try unequipping all weapons, turn it on, then equip the weapons again

[fallen shard]

Cant turn it on with no weapons

[silver urchin]

Equip a white weapon

Anything else

[fallen shard]

tried with a mace and now a crossbow, still wrong "Wrong weapon set settings"

[silver urchin]

Do you have any weapon set marked for it? Make sure you're in human form outside town, I know you mentioned that above but

[fallen shard]

I can mark it? Idk Im in human form outside town

[silver urchin]

Yeah you can set skills to be used with specific weapon sets. It's on the gem page somewhere when you expand the info tab. IDK if you can for reservations though

[fallen shard]

That was it, for some reason it had no weapon set marked lol

now I can turn it on

wtf

my other reservation didnt have this issue

well, thanks, works now lol

[ornate palm]

Guys I'm at act 1 lvl 10 druid. Every time I use bear form I die from mobs. Even white ones. I have to use the tree skill to keep distance. Am I doing something wrong? I want to play bear, but it is so fragile

[twilit pivot]

so for the "increased attack damage if you have shapeshifted into an animal recently" perks, does it count shapeshifting from animal to animal or do i need to swap back to human to take advantage of these perks?

[silver urchin]

Haven't heard, you can probably test it easy

[twilit pivot]

oh yeah i can just...

yep, it counts between forms

which means that those are immensly useful perks for a shapeshift focused build considering by endgame youre gonna be bouncing between at least two of em

[uncut bay]

you need resistances and life

[swift estuary]

How are the druid options shaping up so far?
Is werewolf pack leader holding out?

[twilit pivot]

apparently werewolf scales really well

personally im more vibing with bear and the inevitable synergies i'll have with warcry's

[swift estuary]

I could only play for a few hours and cruised to end of act 1 and werewolf w/ vines was working well albeit not tanky

[uncut bay]

DM is crushing the game with that wyvern oil skill

lance is doing great with the bear

[honest ether]

is there a way to get witch beginning nodes as a druid without having to path there?

like a gem or something of the sort

[lethal prism]

Any good eaely game Druid builds guides

I have no fkn idea what to use as support gems

[woven brook]

am i cooked im thinking of doing chayula volatility bear/wolf what do people think

[median kraken]

It's hard for there to be guides when the info to make guides hasn't been available for long and the people who create guides have basically been playing for most of that time. That said, a lot of build creators do have their WiP builds on Maxroll or Mobalytics as they go

Honestly, right now the easiest way to find druid builds could just be to browse the PoE2 category on Twitch, find a streamer playing a build you're interested in, and find a link to their build (most have a chat command that gives one)

I know Nugiyen is playing plant Oracle, Ziz, Pohx, and Captain Lance are all playing Calamity Bear Shaman, and Mathil is playing Invoker Wolf (not a druid but using transformation) if you want some specific options. I'm sure you can find plenty of others

[tall badger]

Do you think lightning-focused caster druid makes any sense? Mostly chasing the feeling of spamming lightning everywhere. Was bummed to remember that lightning bolt is just a staff skill…

[silver urchin]

Spark

[tidal birch]

Do we already have any plans how to build the wolf correctly, what ascendency is probably the "best"?

[tranquil steeple]

i assume primal hunger removes all effects of rage, even those gained from shaman right?

[viscid flax]

if you get the node that lets you have 2 companions can you run 2 wolf pack gems?

[last bolt]

Any new uniques other than the previews people found yet?

[pure oxide]

Thunderstorm does make enemies wet and more vulnerable to other lightning, but any caster build can probably grab it as support, then against you can also go plants and use Entangle to slow down enemies and keep them in the thunderstorm

[unreal girder]

When is it reasonable to swap to plants? Im in act2 doing bear and its going well but I do ultimately wanna play ranged

[lean sundial]

Anyone got anything cooking with wyvern form?

[silver urchin]

Does it say 2, or 2 different?

[silver urchin]

I believe so

[unreal girder]

You cant run 2 of the same spell unfortunately

[median kraken]

I believe if the wording is "rage also grants..." then it would remove it, but if something is worded as "... per rage" or something like that it might not

[tall badger]

Yeah it seems that there isn’t a super strong reason to go druid for something like this, but putting lightning and plants together with the keystone passive that boosts both might still be okay, plus maybe oracle for inevitable crit… i think I’ll try it

[pure oxide]

I've been running wolf and swapping to entangle+thunderstorm whenever I feel like it in each dungeon, it helps that a big part of druid gameplay is setting up fire-and-forget spells that do persistent damage while you're switching to melee mode

Throw out an entangle and a thunderstorm before pouncing in and the enemy takes a bunch of extra damage and slowdown and damage vulnerability from that (since apparently shocked is damage vuln in this game)

[median kraken]

You can make lightning tornados if you generate shocked ground. And I think Apocalypse has all 3 elements?

[unreal girder]

I think enabling easy COC with oracle to proc plants with COC should be good

[tall badger]

Yeah that sounds interesting for sure

[plush zealot]

does the keystone that nullifies rage effect also apply to passive skill that causes #% rage alsso grants x stat

such as this

[unreal girder]

Yes, anything that says "rage also grants" gets nullified iirc

[plush zealot]

how about rageforged support

would it make it deal no bonus dmg

[median kraken]

I think Rageforged would still eork

But that's kind of a guess

[sharp kestrel]

would PF plant poison be just a worse version of the poison bow build?

[median kraken]

I feel like it's too early for anyone to really know

[unreal girder]

That works fine

Anything that makes rage grant extra stuff doesnt work, stuff that uses it differently works

Would a skill with a 100% less reservation efficiency cost infinite spirit?

[halcyon solar]

When is an enemy "primed"?

[stoic nebula]

dropped this at level 5, now I'm in the mid act2, should I go with tactician or witch hunter, I'm kinda newbie player for poe series

[teal sluice]

how can i make this tree not so much of a mess? im trying to get lots of evasion and deflection and get also damage and some daze and armor break etc but i also wanna use the node to go to warrior and get some rage on hit and more armor break but im starved for points, im trying to think how to do two trees but i dont see how i can make it work someone please save me

[silver urchin]

The damage looks extremely low, I don't know if it's still worth using at the point you're at? But if you're happy then go for it
Both tactician and witchhunter are good for different reasons. Witchhunter has a lot of "passive power" that doesn't rely on the rest of your build at al

[teal sluice]

thats essentialy all the nodes id want but theres also aoe nodes that dont appear rn

[stoic nebula]

yeah I heard and I guess "a new type of shield? sorceress shield or something" is buffed, which gave a lot of tankyness?

[silver urchin]

post your pob

[silver urchin]

Sorcery ward yes

[stoic nebula]

I can't decide and since my crafting skills are extremly low, I'd like to choose that which one can scale better with low invest, it's be great

[teal sluice]

okay but keep in mind the new ascendancy thing to start from warrior and the aoe nodes dont exist yet

[silver urchin]

I know

That doesn't impact what you have now

[silver urchin]

Witchhunter

[teal sluice]

i forgot to save tree so sec ima redo it

[jovial scroll]

Hello does anyone know if Druid is good with specters and minions besides wolfs ? Skeletons etc sry new player

[stoic nebula]

awesome thank you! Btw, with this weapon, I currently delete all the packs and bosses, but I do use fragmentation bold and permafrost, one of my friend said, just use galvanic shards and herald of thunder, for everything while using this xbow, what do you think?

[silver urchin]

I only played a crossbow build once, so I'm not an expert there. I did use galvanic shards at the time so give it a try

[teal sluice]

@silver urchin did u want me to put skills etc too or just tree

[silver urchin]

Just the tree

[teal sluice]

https://pobb.in/sSBibplBMpOY

[silver urchin]

level 100? I thought you were posting the build you had

[teal sluice]

oh no im trying to kinda refine/confine my tree

so i dont just walk into a wall later

im beginning act 3 and im planning to swap to quarterstaff around act 4

[silver urchin]

Sorry mate but that's not what I signed up for, I was under the impression you wanted help with the levelign tree

[teal sluice]

ah bummer

nah rn for leveling im just ramming my head into projectile damage and attack damage

with a lil eva

but can u look at it for a sec and tell me, is there any way i can somehow make 2 trees or not?

like to save points with weapon swaps

i feel like its just attack attack attack and defense defense defense so i cant really separate stuff

[silver urchin]

I don't fully understand the question

[teal sluice]

likje last league i played a mortar cannon build so it was easy to split my trees to save points more or less

but here with just quarterstaff skills i worry i cant manage to split them

[neon hinge]

Hi. Is it possible to change the Venom Draught quest reward stats?

[silver urchin]

What do you mean by splitting your trees?

[silver urchin]

I don't think so

[teal sluice]

weapon sets

1 and 2

[silver urchin]

Oh that

I genuinely have never done that and don't expect to any time soon

[teal sluice]

ah okay

[neon hinge]

Can anyone reccomend me one of the 3 options for that quest? I am a Stormweaver elemental Caster

[silver urchin]

What are the options

[neon hinge]

I have no clue how easy it is to mitigate stuns or elemental ailments

increased Stun Threshhold, ele ailment threshhold and mana regeneration rate.
25% each

actually ele ailment threshhold is 30%

[neon hinge]

Any insight on whats hardest to fixotherwise?

[silver urchin]

unsure tbh. Go stun

[analog rain]

Do you guys think fire Dragon Warrior is viable

It just seems to me like slam warrior bear fire would be better

[river summit]

Do we know where the unique fire talisman comes from or just random trop

Drop

[midnight condor]

Anyone had a problem with herald of ice on wolf druid? It doesnt work when its activated (no icon on top of screen)

[unreal girder]

That doesnt make the other option not viable

[full orchid]

ok im going in, i havent read anything about this league, do i go warrior or druid for melee bear?

[silver urchin]

both are great choices. I am biased towards warrior

[pale hatch]

Is there phys gem level mod on staves?

[silver urchin]

If it exists on wands then definitely yes, but I'm not 100% sure. I would assume so

[mint glacier]

is it better to go plant druid or bear im really conflicted on both

[heavy tinsel]

It does I saw a +2 phys earlier

Idk, I don't think there's a lot of support for plant druid

You have to remember that spells still can't proc impale

Maybe theres potential for a trigger setup to pay off phys impale from spells but I just don't see it

[supple jay]

is it still not possible to respec venom draught

I might want that mana regen for shaman rage regen lol

[halcyon solar]

how can I reset or rerun the temple?

[tidal birch]

Does talisman count as 2hand weapon?

ty

[pale hatch]

My plan is not druid actually, but the new sorc.
She can wield focus while wielding staff and has a special skill that waters plants.

Idk if it would work

[iron carbon]

Guys what is most damaging way to shatter frozen ?

Right now I am using frag bolts from Xbow. But maybe there is even better way ?

[heavy tinsel]

Well that skill isn't very good since you need chilled ground to activate it when you could just cast thunderstorm
Imo with that ascendancy you either go all in on the djinns or you ignore the djinns and take the rest of the good ascendancy nodes

[gentle peak]

Guys does someone play monk? I can barely find build guides

[heavy tinsel]

If you forced me to play plants I'd probably strength stack on oracle since oracle gets a pretty good 99% phys spell cluster

[timid cloud]

dm me i can send you my pob when i get home

[silver urchin]

If you forced me to play plants, I would install D4 instead

[heavy tinsel]

It wouldn't be terrible honestly it just wouldn't measure up to the rest

[silver urchin]

My brain recoils at the concept. Let's say it's not my cup of tea

[heavy tinsel]

Oh the other hand the support that creates exploding plants seems to do chaos damage which has potential

[vapid pelican]

guys, this priority means that I have to max the first one or go the first skill to level 3 and then the othjer? in the example I can bring the first skill to 3 or aquire the second skill with 3, which? TY!

[silver urchin]

The second skill is only very good if you have the third skill, so I would level up the first one if you're worried about running out of gems

[halcyon solar]

my game is only showing me ground items for like 2 seconds after dropping no matter if there's a filter enabled or not. That's not normal, right? how do I fix it?

[unreal girder]

Theres a keybind for hiding loot but cant recall what it is

[foggy quiver]

Hello, I am running a Witch build. I was looking through the skill gems but I didn't see either Life Remnant or Mana Remnant. There skills were obtained through skill gems right? If not, how would I go about receiving these? TIA.

[tidal birch]

What would you guys take as second support skill on pounce?

[foggy quiver]

For me it's Z. You can also google search for a loot filter filterblade.

[fringe lagoon]

What is a good skill to use with whirlwind beside twister? It doesn't have to be spear

[silver urchin]

IDK about Mana Remnant but Life Remnant is exclusive to Blood Mage I think?

[foggy quiver]

I believe you are right. This was another answer I recieved. "Life remnants is only on blood mage or the covenant unique, and mana remnants are from spirit gems, not skill gems".

[vapid pelican]

ok thanks, what can i do with other level 1 gems? Can I like put together to create higher lvl or what?

[old oriole]

guys the new sorc ascendancy is a summoner and not a minion build class right?

[lime narwhal]

trying to figure out if I should go oracle or shaman

going to main the wolf and ice vibes, maybe get CoC online which I see oracle has that crit node which would work well. but I was also thinkof making coc.coa work with the other ultimate meta skill on the shaman tree

anyone have a general vibe which ascendancy suits that better?

[iron carbon]

Guys what is best way to shatter frozen enemies. For most damage

[silver urchin]

Nope, level 1 gems stay as level 1. You xan either hold on to them for future characters, or get rid of them

[uncut bay]

it's great for spell casters, it's not for minion builds

[old oriole]

finaly , thank you

[halcyon solar]

quite a decent one for early game

[fair fiber]

Finally got time to log in, whats the TLDR on druid?

any builds starting to dominate?

[hallow terrace]

any good way to generate power charges on wyvern in boss fights? heavy stunning is kinda tedious

[vale mesa]

nub question: how do i separate these skills?

[halcyon solar]

mah bear be dominatin' yo momma

[dire rivet]

any reason to have a 2nd weapon druid?

[halcyon solar]

I mean you NEED both slots as a Drood

[dire rivet]

wdym?

[azure wyvern]

would Blackflame covenant work on this if it is on fire spell?

[cedar aspen]

Yes. Should do. Both the ring and the keystone. Even tagged as spell and fire itself

[lone lynx]

Anyone else tried ancestral cry on bear? in trailer video its somehow worked, but for me it says incorrect weapon type

[junior verge]

Is there something I'm not seeing? This looks like absolute SHYTE

So I get hit with 100 physical, I recoup 5 energy shield ??? XD and ther's no more ways to get ES, maybe except leech somewhat? WTF is this node

[west wharf]

yes you're missing things

[junior verge]

Then elemental damage (spells almost all enemy spells) just kill you

[west wharf]

it's 5% of phys dmg prevented rather than 5% of phys dmg taken, it's also per enemy power so it's a lot more than that

and there are other forms of recovery

i.e. shavronne's satchel which lets your life flasks apply to ES

[junior verge]

mmm multiplied by the power of the enemy that HIT you I'm guessing ?

[west wharf]

essentia sanguis for ES leech in some cases

ES recoup from things like sacrosanctum

[west wharf]

that's my assumption as well

meaning it would be much higher on bosses

it's definitely not a "just click this" keystone

[junior verge]

But the fact it's limited to Physical is a shame. Maybe there's stuff that makes you eat phys dmg instead of ele

[west wharf]

but there are for sure a number of ways to play on it

cus at a baseline you don't have ES regen and don't recharge ES mid-fight if you're getting hit anyway

so it is adding a mid-fight ES recovery option

also do keep in mind

phys dmg tends to be more dangerous for armour builds than ele dmg

because you end up with so much armour applies to ele dmg taken% ontop of your resists

[junior verge]

Perhaps yea. I'll try it out at some point, maybe multiple points during leveling, to see how it feels

[wide edge]

I have quite specific question regarding firestorm, if any1 knows:
Both storm itself and its fireballs have radiuses. Impacts are spread randomly over the area of the storm.
Question is: is center of the impact always within the storm, or the impact itself is within the storm radius?

Cuz in the first case, if center is within the storm, if it is closer to the edge than its radius, then impact is partually hitting stuff outside the storm radius

[west wharf]

i wouldn't click it during lvling

it's a pretty specific keystone

it's not one you randomly click

similar to how you wouldn't just click CI in early campaign

i think if you want to try it on leaguestart

the most obvious route is grabbing it once you can get a shavronne's satchel

[pearl scroll]

https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile2builds/s/YEYsPhzN3G mageblood at home, I really dislike this type of design

[slender night]

Is Volls really the only way to run plant totem, or am i missing somethign else that would make it not feel awful?

i was hoping we'd get some oracle only passives to enable it

[honest grail]

I'm not seeing how that flask is that insane

[grand plover]

did anyone try a build around apocalypse ? what would work with it ?

[honest grail]

it synergizes with a few notables that give like 30-50% better stats than those without the flask condition

you're still spending your passive tree points to get those bonuses, it's not nearly as strong as, say, Constricting Command in terms of how much it gives

[keen charm]

I'm struggling to understand the difference between in-game damage numbers and what PoB is showing
https://pobb.in/yh-GG-mjyVRS

so 2500 in the game vs 1000 in PoB

[honest grail]

pob has a lot of things that don't work

check for red text

it also hasn't updated so some things could be out of date or just not available in it

[west wharf]

@keen charm i would not pay much attention to either dps number

they're incredibly unrepresentative of how much damage grenades do anyway

especially if you start throwing in cluster grenade etc

[keen charm]

@honest grail @west wharf got ya. thanks guys

[vapid pelican]

how to heavy stunn (I'm titan warrior lvl 9)? TY

[junior verge]

It's when you stun enemy so much they stop acting. On bosses there's a stun bar you can see grow over time. On regular mobs there's skills you'll unlock that can Heavy Stun "Primed" enemies (which are soon gonna stun).

[coarse wren]

any suggestions on poe 2 builds thats 1 button brr brr

[ornate palm]

Can someone share a good druid bear build? i just want to beat the campaign. i'm dying to white mobs

[old oriole]

please for the summoner sorc, what's a good item i can buy for 2 ex, i wanna spend my ex now

[junior verge]

Waht level are you guys? Answers will be much different basd on that 🙂

[ornate palm]

i'm lvl 8

[vapid pelican]

thanks, what's the name of the skill for warriors/titan?

[junior verge]

At this level, you don't really have a build yet, Only 7 skill points in the tree! If you're a new player, you'll learn how to navigate enemies (turn around them, don't stay on the same spot too long) to avoid dyeing too much. You can take a look at this but it will only give a direction what to take over time while you level up: https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/231k20u5

[fleet blaze]

how does one do bosses as fireball? im at act 2 boss but fireball does no dmg

[ornate palm]

so i should be sticking to caster spells like the entablge skill before certain level? right now entangle is the only thing that kills the enemy w/o dying

[fleet blaze]

let me rephrase this question:

does anyone have any ideas on how to make fireball do better ST ? in act 2 lvl 31

[junior verge]

With Boneshatter skill equipped you'll see enemies which are "Primed" for stun, and using boneshatter on them will stun them (and do a cool explosion 🙂 add the Support Gem "Impact Shoackwave" for even more!)

[junior verge]

You can, Entangle + Volcano mixes together well at the start. Get a staff with spell damage % or a wand with +1 physical level to spells to boost it. Always look at vendors what they got for sale you can find good items to start with

[slender night]

entangle can also be your end game primary skill

stuff in poe2 isnt like, early unlocks are only for early game, support gems scale everything up

[ornate palm]

i find entangle very powerful, but i'm here to play bears. I don't want to play entangle. it doesn't fufill the class fantasy.

[junior verge]

I'm playing Werewolf right now, I got many hours in PoE1 and PoE2 and consider myself pretty decent at action games, I still die (4 deaths at mid act 2). Being in melee range is very dangerous against lots of enemies, make sure you move around to place yourself better etc.

[fleet blaze]

how come this doesn't boost my dps?

[junior verge]

Simple. Penetration is not shown in DPS. It's based on the enemy's resistance so it doesn't count in "the damage you deal" and rather changes "the damage enemy receives" if you know what I mean.

[ornate palm]

yea, i tried that as well. but there are so many ground degen's in early game I simply cannot engage the enemy. entangle is the only thing working for me atm

[fleet blaze]

im stuck on HC act 2 boss because my manapot runs out of charges :/

[vernal lodge]

I need help so im trying to make an werewolf lich and Idk what are the optimal paths to take

[minor kestrel]

Sorry, for my wolf druid running cold build. Do I want phys or cold runes on my weapon?

[junior verge]

Most of the time it's Phys Runes because they scale with the base weapon damage (it's a percentage) while the cold runes are low cold dmg. Lunar Assault converts phys damage to Cold so it's still becoming cold.

[toxic beacon]

Why do people run compressed duration on herald of ash? Does it make the ignites deal the same damage but just faster?

[carmine flicker]

how good are oracle nodes so far? only now can start to play

[verbal totem]

poe DB has them highlighted, they looked mildly interesting when I did a quick glance, nothing stuck out as like brokenly OP though

[river frigate]

how do you get charge for wyvern oil barrage during king?

[carmine flicker]

powerful casting look interesting I guess

and forbidden path

[outer fjord]

I wanted to do plants and lightning… but bear goes roar

[green laurel]

Does anyone know if Inevitable Crits works with Minions?

[strange echo]

I've got a quick question regarding the lord of the wilds keystone:
It says 50% less efficiency... shouldn't that be 50% more spirit cost? so herald of ice going from 30 to 45 spirit?
But I picked the keystone and now my herald skill costs double the spirit (60). Wouldn't that be 100% less efficiency?

[minor tree]

Has anyone tried align fate? how is it?

[summer pasture]

Less means worse, more means better

[minor tree]

(the auto-cast from oracle)

i'll get to the trial soon and i'm still unsure whether to go oracle or shaman

[summer pasture]

If you have less efficiency it's take more to get something done

[strange echo]

you arew not answering my question Xd

[carmine flicker]

how does layality support work with wolves? and does it even work at all?

[summer pasture]

Oh miss understood, my bad.
But you're right that might be misworded

[bold saffron]

killed ignaduk twice shes still on the map, no reward
is she bugged or something

[strange echo]

so the keystone is either bugged, or the wording is wrong and should say double the costs

[summer pasture]

If you're going hybrid play style not worth, it needs you to be able to cast a lot of spells to be worth

[summer pasture]

Wording is wrong

[strange echo]

ok than it isn't worth it at all Xd

[summer pasture]

If you run the spectre it makes up for the less spirit

The node is for focusing on the wolves imo

[carmine flicker]

it's not wrong wording
that 's how efficiency work
100% less efficiency = infinite spirit cost

[jolly horizon]

About Align Fate, from my testing (all sockets are spells + staff skill + 1 unset ring): it doesn't summon totems (at least dark effigy), doesn't use infusions but can generate them, appears to use supports but unsure if all of them (e.g. curses apply decaying hex). However, there is still a ~3.5s delay currentl at about lvl50, which is higher than my calculations pointed too

[strange echo]

shouldn't it be -> 100% more efficiency = 50% cost and 100% less efficiency = 50% more cost

[jolly horizon]

Oh, align fate spells also don't consume mana, so I'm not sure if theyll benefit from 'skills that cost mana/life' effects. They can target within the edges of the screen too

[carmine flicker]

no

[summer pasture]

That math is wrong

[dreamy valley]

hey guys, how do i get more support slots for rend on druid? Jewellers dont work

[summer pasture]

Character level, first is level 40

[carmine flicker]

assuming 100 starting spirit cost
100/(1+efficiency) = final cost
so with 50% increased(or more, if you have no other modifiers increased and more work the same)
100/(1+0.5)=66.6(round to 67)
with 50% less it's
100/(1-0.5)=200
with 100% less it's
100/(1-1)=... we don't divide by zero there, ok?

[dreamy valley]

27

[dreamy valley]

makes sense though. Thank you for letting me know

[summer pasture]

Yeah you need lvl 40

[dreamy valley]

thank you!

[strange echo]

thanks for the explanation! So its working as intended... but not working for what I wanted it to do XD
Guess it would be easier to understand if the put it as double the cost of non-minion skills XD For dummies like me ^^

[summer pasture]

That makes sense with the formula, I figured it would multiply by 1.5

[carmine flicker]

well, my formula isn't entirely correct. or it is, but too simplified
first you need to calculate efficincy, then divide spirit cost by efficiency
like.. base efficiency = 1(it's base..)
if you have 20% increased and 50% less you will have 1* 1.2 * 0.5 = 0.6, so you need to divide base resevation for 0.6 etc

with 100% less you multyiply base efficiency by zero(1*0=0) and then divide by that zero

[summer pasture]

I get that I figured they were just using multiplication not that formula

[quartz pewter]

🥱

[carmine flicker]

anyway, it's bad node

for pet build it's bad cause for pets you want SPIRIT, lots of it

for any other build it's like.. 50% less spirit AND 100% more cost = always not worth it

[eternal snow]

How does Spark Blood Mage compare to Stormweaver this league?

Also trying to decide if I want to do spark, or if ED is as effective this league with the lower mob density.

[summer pasture]

Like I said it's for the wolves not really any other minion build

[carmine flicker]

wolves are meh by themself tho

probably ok meat shield for skellies-mages(for 60 spirit)

or for ranged spectres

how is caster druid btw? like pure caster with vines and rains

[summer pasture]

I believe nyguien is running a plant build

If you want to check his progress

[pearl scroll]

Does anyone have a clip of how moment of vulnerability works?

[dim fox]

Hi ! didn't play since 0.2, which builds are good rn ?

[tribal forum]

is there any filter for begginer lighting arrow build? i cant find any

fubguns

[carmine flicker]

what's the best druid lvling rn?

like act 1-2

[summer pasture]

Bear imo

Tanky and the enraged slam hits like a bear

[slender night]

bear or plants yeah

bear lets you just slam everythign to death, but it feels a bit slow, plants lets you endlessly run through every map while stuff dies behidn you

[summer pasture]

Feel like next patch bear is getting it's passive stuff toned down

[carmine flicker]

passive stuff?

[static plinth]

Bear if you want druid skills but EDC is really good as usual

[atomic obsidian]

What does the new druid passive mean?: armour also applies to elemental damage?

[static plinth]

This was added last patch

Armour normally only applies to physical damage

[atomic obsidian]

Ah okay, ty

[static plinth]

You can get more than 100% armour applies to ele, too

(which is usually necessary since even after resistances ele hits are usually bigger than phys)

[dim fox]

someone have information on comet bloodmage ? don't find much about it, the build looks fun

[summer pasture]

Keep in mind that's just for hit damage not dots

[atomic obsidian]

What is dots?

[summer pasture]

Damage over time

[atomic obsidian]

Ah okay

[summer pasture]

Bleed, ignite and posion

[carmine flicker]

vines or EDC?
(you know me, I want as few buttons to press as possible)

(I will go minions in the end anyway, cause doedre undoing nerfed and I want smth one or zero button lazy)

[gentle peak]

Guys does someone play hollow palm monk, I need build guide and how to lvl up but can't find for 0.4

[slender night]

vines over edc right now

they do way more damage with way less

and its just click and run

[solid dragon]

could i get some input on es+armor vs pure es? (going for bloodmage plant)

[carmine flicker]

also I could likely automate rainmaking and just spam vines

(or automate vines and spam rain, idk what's better)

[viscid thunder]

Is there any report of Savage Fury NOT working ?

[summer pasture]

For got how I bound it but you have to bind the skill, it's not automatic

Actually I remember, go to the skill bind page and it should be an option for you when you pick a slot

[viscid thunder]

Oh you mean choose what weapon set to use it with ?

[summer pasture]

No just bind the skill, you build up the fury then you activate it

[viscid thunder]

Ive never heard of a binding option ill have to google that one

[summer pasture]

Like setting a skill to a button

[raw ledge]

im following a build on mobalytics and on the skill tree it has 2 colors, pink set 1 and green set 2, what does this mean?

[summer pasture]

You get weapon set passives that you can use that only apply to that weapon set

So you can use different weapons

[graceful haven]

Any minion builds good this patch?

[raw ledge]

on the gear its only using 1 weapon set or is it because he has 2 weapons equiped at the same time one on each hand?

[summer pasture]

You can use them as normal point by making them be in a attribute node or a needed small node

[raw ledge]

so i can just put all the points normaly and ignore it?

[mint glacier]

do u guys think its better to go plant or bear?

[rancid heron]

if I spam mace strike this is just going to give me 12% spell amp right? Not 12% for each time I've used mace strike in the last 8 seconds?

[broken drum]

Does armour explosion support hit the enemy it originates on? And can it ignite?

Or is there a better detonator than explosive spear or thunderous leap for spear?

[vivid cliff]

I'm interested in doing a plant build but am getting mixed answers about what class is best for it. Do I go druid, witch, or ranger?

[summer pasture]

Druid or witch since they are closer to the plant stuff

[summer pasture]

Nyguien is doing a plant Oracle I believe

[vivid cliff]

Ty, I think I'm gonna do blood mage then

[vivid cliff]

ooh I'll check it out

[autumn roost]

Idk what build to play. Can someone recommend me something

[summer pasture]

You want shapeshift or spells?

[hoary ingot]

ohwell

[honest grail]

shield wall

[minor tree]

can align fate's cooldown be reduced from stats?

reduced skill duration? cooldown reduction?

[half wedge]

coes concentrated area affect fireball's single target damage? i know in poe1 it would just take all the gem tags but poe2 fireball has a projectile and an explosion portion, so im not sure

[dreamy mulch]

what ways do we have to prevent rage loss(outside of the passive tree capstone, as I want to avoid it as it negates rage effect)?
Also what non passive tree sources of maximum rage do we have(except for the talisman)

[outer fjord]

Both are really good… so is wyvern and wolf. So pretty much can’t go wrong.

[mint glacier]

oohhh icic thank you

[cedar aspen]

Shaman or Oracle Druid. It’s new and everyone’s testing things out

[heady marsh]

So I can use any weapon on any class right? So I could be a warrior that shapeshifts into a bear?

[carmine flicker]

normally I'd advise tried and true build to new player, but shaman is really strong and can go may paths, so yeah

[cedar aspen]

Yes. The “class” you choose just dictates what ascendancy choices you’re offered when you ascend through the trials.

What dictates your build is what skills you want to use and their associated weapon to said skills.

It’s not the best but personally I use https://maxroll.gg/poe2 to look at the ascendancies, the passive tree, what skills to use, and you can see what others have posted on here too.

[shadow blade]

loving bear so far, cant wait to spec up with smith

[heady marsh]

Do some classes inherently synergize with certain weapons better than other?

[dusky wadi]

i just got my second asendancy as shaman druid, should i go apocolypse or the adaptation for early game?

[shadow blade]

yup, im going smith of kitava and using a talisman to get access to bear skills

[heady marsh]

What class is smith of kitava from?

[shadow blade]

warrior

[heady marsh]

Oooh cool I wanted to do a transforming warrior haha so that sounds perfect for me

[shadow blade]

i think titan would work well too :) i went smith of kitava as some of the skills i want rely on glory and kitava has a node for 60% increased glory

• it got buffed quite a bit to give more armour on its passives, its a unique ascendancy. you dont use gear traditionally, instead you 'forge' your own gear which has its pros and cons, id look into it and just read over it first before deciding

[cedar aspen]

Yes. At the start of the game you’ll be given a weapon that’s more “suited” for that class but any class can use any weapon.

Example would be the warrior class uses maces and shields but that doesn’t stop them from using a quarter staff, wand, crossbow ect

[dim island]

anyone have any luck with apocalypse shaman

i cant tell if this is just a main caster node, if its bad, or if hybrid shapeshift apoc is the issue lol

[silk bison]

how does one combine skills? i saw someone talk about combining the bear slam with volcano but i cant figure it ouut

[soft wren]

Just use them both alternately??

Not rocket appliances

[cedar aspen]

Shapeshifting Warrior? A lot of people experimenting with this 🙂

Titan would be a good start. Do you know about class ascendancies by the way?

[heady marsh]

I know a little bit about them. I played when the game first launched last year, but I play a Druid/Shaman in pretty much every fantasy rpg and decided to drop the game until they released Druid

Like I know each class has two options and they are the basis for your build, but that’s about it

[cedar aspen]

Ah ok good.
Well also just going Druid and choosing Shaman or Oracle isn’t a bad idea either considering everyone’s trying it out.

[cedar aspen]

Some have 3 ascendancies. They all start with 2.

And not necessarily the basis of your build but and ascendancy are supposed to be powerful buffs that sculpt your build to what you’re after. So looking at the ascendancy a what each node does to see if it’s applicable to your fantasy is a good start, as well as their synergies to the skills you want to use.

[craggy ice]

my druid build calls for herald of ash but when I equip it it says I'm using the wrong weapon type???

oh I had to shapeshift

[frail elm]

if something says 425% more damage i multiply my damage by 5.25 right? 1 for base 4.25 for the more multiplier?

[graceful haven]

Any good chill builds this league? Doesn't need to be the zoomiest, I am thinking some kind of minion

[solid dragon]

hows the new sorc ascendancy feel? is it like a pure minion thing or hybrid?

[left heart]

does rageforged work with rampage? like for the entire duration?

[thin basin]

any1 doing the poison build trying herald of blood setup for clearing?

[stark imp]

Yo I'm tryba make a 1 button tornado build can someone tell me if my 3am theorycraft is viable or not

[graceful haven]

Getting a late start - Shield Wall or Calamity baer?

[soft wren]

There’s no mechanic for “combining” skill gems, no? Or am I missing something

[soft wren]

Pretty sure ur just challenged and don’t know how to use more than one button

[celest oxide]

I really didn’t think Wyvern would be so good

Now I gotta decide between Bear and Wyvern rip

[iron harbor]

Got a good wyvern guide?

[celest oxide]

P4wnyhof

[silk bison]

imagine being a dickhead instead of just being helpful. its not about pressing an extra button. its a combo. its a common thing in arpgs. loser

[soft wren]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occam's_razor

[restive ocean]

is Varashta beginner friendly?

or requires like 500 divin or whatever

[dusky wadi]

is this worth it?

[teal sluice]

finnaly did the whirling assault swap but holy crap those mana costs tho

like 70 and 80

[silk bison]

you are an absolute troglodyte. get off POE help if you're not going to be helpful

[atomic halo]

yes

[pearl sluice]

70 iq moment

[tulip fog]

question for people who have played an infusion build before, how do you sustain infusions in bossfights?

[odd turtle]

Does Armour apply to hits I would take with Energy Shield being up ?

[glass galleon]

hey guys, i need help with falling thunder. Im a invoker Monch and bevor 0.4 i was building combo with ice strike so i can oneshot any boss in the game. but now they caped the max combo to 20... anyone knows a good alternitive or workaround?

[livid carbon]

are there any more ways of generating frenzy charges? other than staying like an idiot with shield waiting for a to mob hit you so you can jump back and get one charge?

i also don't like culling strike cuz it's pointless, i want mobs to die not leave them at low hp so i can click and get a charge lol

electrocute is ok, but one charge per 8 seconds is a joke

[dreamy mulch]

does anyone know any uniques that increase max rage? or that give rage regen(not on hit)?

[kindred bone]

Hey bros, Primal hunger maintains the bonus of rage giving spells more/increased damage?

If the right nodes are picked ofc

[azure wyvern]

is this bugged?
I am not losing health when using spells

[pearl sluice]

its probably just a negligible amount, check your spell tooltip too see what it costs

under cost should show an HP value aswell

[dreamy mulch]

it removes rage effect, so no you do not get that

[lunar trail]

Any smarter build creators finding potential with the Oracle hidden tree or is Oracle underwhelming?

[azure wyvern]

hmm, I think I am getting more dmg but I am not losing life because of how small the convert is

[kindred bone]

RIP

[iron umbra]

do yall think a fragmentation round crossbow/werewolf druid would be viable? Or would that be better for an werewolf merc

[dreamy mulch]

oracle is mostly just saving passive points, it is really good if you have a lot of capstones you want to pick, alsothere is REALLY good nodes in its untaken path stuff.

Part of the reason I am trying to find a source of (non hit) rage regen is because it has a rage cluster(21 max rage) that comes at the downside of 200% sooner rage degen. If I could generate even a single point of rage per second that downside would not matter.

[tender osprey]

does wolf to wyvern activate shapeshift nodes or do u have to go human for that?

[lunar trail]

Yeah, I saw some juicy nodes, but idk, they don't really seem worth it for a whole ascendency considering the other ascendency nodes are kinda meh besides inevitable crit (at least to me, but I'm not a build creator really, I just try stuff I find interesting)

[hushed obsidian]

has anyone managed to test whether inevitable crits' less bonus dmg is multiplicative or additive with itself?

[hallow vector]

is there a way to make orb of storms have more hits before it goes away:?

[dreamy mulch]

Other things I noticed on oracle were a spell damage scales with strength node, some nodes that increase minion reserve efficiency, companions take some damage for you, +2 temp minions limit, some huge % increases for minion command skills, minions gain 20% ele as chaos and have 30%recoup(ON THE SAME NODE), a tiny node that gives 30%impale on spell hit(very rare kind of node)

[thick thunder]

is there a way to support skills of skills granted by supports?

i.e. mana flare

[dreamy mulch]

But really, it is the capstones have a radius node where most of the oracle power comes from

[dreamy mulch]

From what I know, the sub-skills are effected by the same supports as the gem itself

so I think just put supports on the gem

Anyways, oracle is good enough that I chose it over shaman for my wearbear slam build

[thick thunder]

oracle mana flare ignite, mana stuff, crit stuff

[dreamy mulch]

(because the first 2 points of shaman are WASTED on the "rage now effects spells"

[thick thunder]

roots for easy crits

[abstract saddle]

When sundered armor says it stacks with fully broken armour does that mean 1.4x damage (additive) or 1.44x(multiplicative)

[azure wyvern]

Blackflame covenant doesn't change Raging spirits in anyway, right?

[gloomy rain]

What do people use to trigger this? I kinda wish it just said "when shapeshifting", I don't mind leaving bear for a moment to go wolf or wyvern for movement skills but I don't really feel like I need to be in human form. Maybe I should get a mace for my second weapon and use Leap Slam?

I tried casting Temporal Chains whenever I needed to heal (mainly doing damage with corrupted blood), but it felt super clunky, so now I just punch the air

[stiff hinge]

has anyone tested new cultist archer cd? it was 8s before

[dapper quail]

How does "Turning of the Seasons" interact with "frost bomb" ? does exposure stack?

[thick thunder]

i think enemies can only have one source of exposure and it does not stack

[dusky jackal]

Hii, someone can help me know how with the Wyvern shaman I can generate power loads, I'm watching a video but I find it hard to understand it, I saw a video that only uses oil alluvium and generates power loads. https://youtu.be/gWaubZZxwyw?si=Z4GjCSCDzFnkRDdn

[acoustic copper]

Does blood magic's cost make pain attunement's downside negligible?

[serene minnow]

guess Overabundance III doesnt exist anymore >.> nothing on patch notes

[vestal salmon]

Anyone else's Frost Bomb just randomly no longer applying exposure?

[delicate fern]

haven't seen anybody mention it but you can perma sustain walking calamity with ferocious roar socketed with raging cry + enraged warcry 2 and allocating roaring cries

[vestal salmon]

Nvm I'm stupid, it's under leveled

[delicate fern]

you warcries have 10 minimum power so ferocious roar provides 28 rage (38 at +20% quality) everytime you use it, enraged warcry can be used to bypass the cooldown by spending 15 rage which we generate more than that

so by using ferocious cry a couple of times you get walking calamity charged up

[silent prawn]

What class/ascendancy would be good for physical spells like entangle. Maybe some other plant spells too like the bow ones?

Was initially thinking blood mage, but his bleed is from elemental spells

[supple jay]

is there a way to convert endurance into power charges?

[glass galleon]

does leech not work?

[azure wyvern]

This is on a staff. Will it convert with Blackflame Covenant?

[harsh yew]

is pob still the go-to or has anything more specific to po2 come out?

[novel ridge]

I'm interested in having 2 companions, but dont want to path all the way across the tree or wear the unique chest -- any other way?

[short topaz]

Is it worth building into oil barrage or is it gonna get nerfed?

I really like being a dragon and so far it feels the best for the actual breath attack

[frozen knot]

they usually don't nerf stuff after the expansion is live

the only "nerfs" they do are unintentional interactions

don't know if oil barrage has that but if it doesn't then it's safe

[weary elbow]

is there a good sorcerer caster build that either burns everything on the screen to death (i like dots), or freezes a lot of things at once? i don't know what to search for on the build sites

[analog compass]

can i put battershout on freocious roar? battershout says supported skills cannot break armor but ferocious roar says "empowered attacks break xxx armor on hit" so its not the "skill" doing the armor break

[short topaz]

Currently doing hundreds of thousands of damage in each use at level 50 with it, I have ricochet, gamble shot and burgeon on it rn which has made it my strongest skill both for bossing and clearing enemies, I use devour for the charges and both herald of thunder and ash for extra aoe

[pure oxide]

So they bundle all the changes up for the next league unless it's literally causing server failures or crashes?

[frozen knot]

kinda, sometimes skills can for example hit the enemies multiple times which isn't intentional and those skills get fixed either as a hotfix or in a patch.

[formal geyser]

Devour

[frozen knot]

last league some companions had hidden aura buffs and those got fixed asap

[pure oxide]

But anything that's intended game design stays even if we find better synergy and make it more broken than they did

Kinda hard since they seem to play their own endgame

[rugged kraken]

is anyone else getting disconnected everytime they use Naviras oasis?

[mint summit]

What’s good for fixing spellcaster mana issues right now

Planning on going coc but I’m already mana hungry

[midnight geode]

im using ricochet on ice shot and the shards bounce back to the mob the ice shot hit, but they dont seem to be dealing extra dmg. Is it a bug?

[celest oxide]

Should I take Reactive Growth or Turning of the Season at my first ascendency?

What’s more helpful early on

[torn tulip]

can I make a build around the Earthbound Voltaic Staff

[stuck tundra]

has anyone attempted to slot ancestral cry into ferocious roar yet?

i legit cannot get it to work

noticed it's the only warcry with the martial weapon requirement (which talisman apparently isnt)

and even with a mace in the offhand it doesnt build glory

as a matter of fact it acts as if it isnt socketed at all

just the base ferocious roar cast without anything

[ornate anvil]

Is it still possible to get this spectre?
https://poe2spectrewiki.com/death-knight-elite-details/

[placid night]

when do i get quests that i need to decide on the reward based of what i do?

[formal geyser]

There aren't any based on like, putting a thing here or there

The "choice" ones are the valley of the titans for charm slot and an effect, which can be changed

Then there's one in the interlude for a small buff, choice of 5 things

[placid night]

because in poe1, there were the 3 people we needed to keep alive or kill , right?

[vital scroll]

Does something like this work for triggered spells?

[slim spoke]

Anyone know if Ungils necklace would work on minions using necromantic talisman? Cause the "your crits dont do extra damage" think that would effect the minions?

[vapid pelican]

trying to allocate points to weapon set I ...but after that what should I do?

[atomic halo]

yes

we would 100% expect that to apply to the minion

"you" just means who/whatever the item is affecting

[slim spoke]

Cool was wondering if it was basically alot of free crits for minions without the down side. Appreciate it, thought of another great amulet for the passive though

[blissful stratus]

is there any way (gem, unique etc, ) that would allow me to leech life from spells?

[atomic halo]

bloodmage, the covenant

[blissful stratus]

Aha! thank you!

[mint glacier]

What’s the best class for plant build? I heard oracle but also heard sorc might be better?

[novel estuary]

What is the build/ascendance for Druid to be running around with a pack again?

[fervent yew]

Does anyone know how to get quality on shred?

[crystal finch]

Should i go for bear or wolf?

[burnt cedar]

My need to be a special snowflake means I can't be a bear warrior, maybe there's some Wyvern synergy there?

[fathom notch]

What class are you

[crystal finch]

druid i

[ocean verge]

does life recovery from the consuming endurance charges wheel count as life regen for the notable which makes life regen count towards es?

or does that count as something seperate

[formal geyser]

Whichever you like better imo

[fathom notch]

Then its up to you ^ have seen alot of people go warrior then bear form.

[crystal finch]

i like both but i do think bear in kindy clunky tho but its very strong

[formal geyser]

Once you get fury if the mountain it's much better. Maul is clunky

[sturdy yoke]

anyone have any builds for druid/chronomancer please? i know its early days but i dread looking at the skill tree lol

[crystal finch]

i have it im in act 2

[formal geyser]

Ah. What I'm enjoying in act 2 is wyvern with devour, big aoe clear with rend (basic wyvern attack), and then fury of the mountain fissures into rolling magma

Rolling magma triggers fissures on each bounce. With slower proj, they don't bounce as far so trigger fissures more easily

Throw in a volcano and it's good boss dps

Gonna see how big I can make the rend aoe since it gets 150% MORE area

[frail fable]

Anyone make a tornado build yet for Druid?

[fathom notch]

GGG Highlighted one in a trailer making use of cursed ground

[fathom notch]

I believe they used these boots, https://pathofexile2.wiki.fextralife.com/Wake+of+Destruction+Secured+Leggings, a element curse with burning inscription support gem, and am not sure how they got the chilled ground

[crystal finch]

which do you think bear or wolf

[frail fable]

The chilled ground was from a wolf skill n a support gem

How would you scale its dmg tho

Spell dmg?

[fathom notch]

Elemental damage and spell damage

[frail fable]

Trueeee

Thanks for responding

Cause u wanna do this build for shaman

I*

Rn I’m doing campaign with frost wolf

[fathom notch]

Im currently running a rage shaman, using the tornado with this to amp its damage aswell

[formal geyser]

Personally like bear

[frail fable]

You have any clips?

@fathom notch

Wanna see how it’s performing

I like seeing big elemental effects on my screen so when I saw tornados in the trailer I was set lol

[fathom notch]

https://cdn.steamusercontent.com/ugc/18408069868537742957/F672EAEE09AD825F8F7B9207B32BBEF71E8E8C1F/

Ignore my defence etc, havent touched it ^

https://cdn.steamusercontent.com/ugc/12261039699123756797/F3F500C9F3066A84F01FF3C3D0D1D4D063EB47A1/

For general AoE using nado, but the eye of winter also gains damage from ground effects (and orb). Can do decent damage if I do the debuffs in the right order ^

[pine willow]

How does Fist of War interact with skills like Stampede and Rampage? Is it just the first step/slam that's boosted?

[fathom notch]

Last league I used it on warrior for stampede and it boosted each slam not just the initial

[pine willow]

Sweet, that sounds crazy good for rampaging bear clearing.

[frail fable]

Ngl

I see the vision for that eye of winter

Maybe a Cast on (?) skill

Gotta play around with it

[fathom notch]

Cast on Ailment maybe

[frail fable]

What exactly counts as a ailment

[fathom notch]

https://cdn.steamusercontent.com/ugc/13686569510299983752/8AFCB89BCF31F401A682E9BF015DBFEB9D422CAE/

Was this the vision?

[frail fable]

Yes

This could work

[frail fable]

I like what I see

My tornados finna be bigger tho

[celest oxide]

So is Bear better on Titan or Shaman?

[static plinth]

This talisman is pretty crazy for Shamans if you just ignore shapeshifting right?

I guess the fatal No Spell Levels syndrome

[midnight geode]

if i use this on snipe, is the dmg bonus gonna apply on the first hit? Or do i have to hit the perfect timing window, and then every snipe after that will do more dmg?

[opal island]

Better to use hollow palm or quarterstaff for flicker strike this season?

[digital mauve]

Do we know if oracle is better than bloodmage for plant build?

[gray hazel]

how do you even build attack speed on the non dex based characters

[frail fable]

@fathom notch what lvl are you

[fathom notch]

65

[frail fable]

N what gems you using on tornado

[fathom notch]

Rageforged 2, Considered Casting, Concentrated Area and Magnified Area (Would swap this out though)

[frail fable]

Think Ik which ones imma run tbh

Thanks btw

Big help

I’m not high enough to use tornado yet but I’m just tryna get some ideas for his imma build it until I see someone do something better

Does any of the plant skills count as a ground effect? @fathom notch

[rapid harness]

can anyone confirm is "Shapeshifting Attack Damage" works if you just remain in the same form?

[frail fable]

[fathom notch]

I dont see any ground tag so, dont think so

[frail fable]

Bet

Are you able to slot walking calamity into a cast of ailment? @fathom notch

On*

[fathom notch]

Probably not, it has a "Conditional" tag and requires bear form

[teal sail]

Anyone tried 2h hammer / primal magic? What are some good things to build twords?

[frail fable]

I see

[weary elbow]

are there any good sorc cold or fire+ignite builds? It would be sweet to slow/freeze the whole screen, or ignite and Dot the whole screen down

[wispy fjord]

anyone playing fury+rampage bear know what a good cheap anoint is?

[boreal scarab]

whats the unique that give power charges on crit?

[frozen knot]

Voll's protector

[static plinth]

Is it Attack Damage While Shapeshifted

If yes, yes, if no, no

Though i dont know how you'd abuse that in any way

[pure oxide]

Are there any hard one-shot protection things in this game?

[static plinth]

No

Pray

Okay technically you can stack % chance to not die to hits, from The Barrow Dweller and Oracle ascendancy hidden nodes

But strictly speaking no there's no Shield Gate or anything

[pure oxide]

I'm amazed that out of hundreds of passive tree and unique items and ascendancy and skills they haven't added a single anti-oneshot option

[static plinth]

Your anti-one shot option is build defences

[pure oxide]

And yet the game still has hardcore mode where your character gets ejected from the league because of one single boss attack

[solar walrus]

is there still an interaction that would allow me to consume one of my reviving minions with profane ritual to gain a power charge

[pure oxide]

Dex characters can't do that because boss oneshots bypass the evasion which they build as their defense

[static plinth]

If you're playing hardcore you're hopefully building to avoid one-shots. You can absolutely build to survive the funny monkey slam in campaign for instance. The winner of the Act 3 race won because of that

[static plinth]

This is why Deflection was added

[pastel nova]

what is the best tool for building while PoB is still not updated

[static plinth]

And the only boss oneshots that skip evasion are the skill checks, not the build checks

Except for the occasional Arbiter bullshit

[pure oxide]

And I guess the player being able to build their way out of a mechanical skill check just doesn't get to be a thing

If you don't dodge monkey slam, you should die even if you're level 99 building full defenses or something I guess

[static plinth]

lmao no

monkey slam is like 9k phys iirc

Even pure evasion characters can, with investment, survive that

[pure oxide]

They just end up having to work way harder than an int or str character

But then again you wouldn't want to trust having a 50/50 on the slam anyways

[static plinth]

Deflection can get to 100%

But yes thats the nature of evasion

But this started as a discussion of one-shots in general, not what evasion characters deal with

[pure oxide]

I guess they're really worried about the potential of any one-shot protection being abused by some sort of "dump 90% of max life and then pump flat life regen" cheese

[static plinth]

Yeah

If they added ANY kind of one-shot protection, abuse cases would be found

And then you die to DoT anyway

[pure oxide]

It would have to be something absurd like "instead of health, you have 5 lives, lose 1 life when you get hit and regain them on not taking damage for X seconds" effect but that still means you completely ignore defense building

[static plinth]

That just leads to Dissolution of The Flesh building

Max block, max evasion. Just generally max all avoidance

[pure oxide]

They probably don't want to turn the game into Warframe where everyone just has invincibility as long as they're spamming abilities with the right build (Except for a few frames that are just straight-up invulnerable the whole mission but that game's balance has been nonexistant for years)

[static plinth]

I could gripe for hours about Warframe's current balance

Overguard 🤡

[pure oxide]

Yeah the best part of this game is basically any enemy can be hard-CC'd if you build for it

I can play a frost werewolf build and while landing the freeze on the boss is challenging (especially if they're being evasive) I can reasonably do it and get the big payoff combo reward

Except for one fight where I was overusing plant spells because the boss felt too hard to melee and ended up landing heavy stuns instead of freeze

[static plinth]

Personally i expect them to nerf CC at some point tbh

It gets really silly sometimes

[pure oxide]

Don't bosses get very strong chain-freeze resists?

[static plinth]

Stun -> Freeze -> Electrocute isnt that hard to pull off and stunlocks a boss for like 15 seconds

[static plinth]

Not nearly strong enough, its only like 90% less buildup

Which i know sounds insane, that of course should be enough, but

You cant really do it with just the one immobilize type but cycling 2 or 3 can do it

[pure oxide]

So like build multiple immobilizes to 80%, proc one, then do damage that puts another over the threshold during the first one to put them in the second animation right after?

That is kinda competing with builds that just kill the boss directly though

[static plinth]

Yeah

The thing is the average build can also do that reasonably consistently

I know i was chaining freeze into stun all the time as monk

Early game as wolf i did it to Rust King and he didnt attack a single time

[pure oxide]

I could definitely see that being changed yeah

Something like "when a boss gets hard-CC'd, it cuts the meter of other hard-CC effects by 25%" potentially compensated for by weakening the initial resist burst

[static plinth]

There's also a unique from arbiter that, effectively, doubles your Immobilization buildup
Everyone says its bad but i see a vision

...wait hold the fuck on

This used to be 20% less damage

Did they buff it this patch??

[wispy fjord]

yes

it got changed

it was 15% less now its 20% more

[static plinth]

25% less

[wispy fjord]

nifty little change

[static plinth]

lmfao i gotta try it for real now thats fucking insane

[wispy fjord]

was it 25 i dont really remember

[pastel nova]

holy shit is that my new tactician gloves

[static plinth]

I think it might make it so you dont get an immobilize at 100%

It just resets adn then you get one at 50%

But with the buff its good even if that is how it works

[pastel nova]

I mean that's still good

[river moon]

Does anyone know if Archon buff expire is a debuff or a cooldown that can be lowered?

[atomic halo]

you mean the 20 seconds during which you cannot get another archon buff?

[river moon]

yeah

[atomic halo]

that is definetly not a debuff, nor is it a cooldown.

unless explicitly called out by a modifier, i don't think there's anything you can do about that.

Archon recovery period expires 25% faster

there is that one notable

[river moon]

got it so the passive tree and the explicit is the only way

[atomic halo]

yes

[delicate fern]

ok i wasnt sure whether %increase to global defense counts as armour increase for this node, luckily it seems like it does

i probably should have tested that before making a build around it

[river moon]

thank you

[delicate fern]

ngl hybrid ar/es is so damn tanky on pf, only thing that chunks me down right now is chaos dmg and bleeds. I guess i will have to transition to ci soon

[frail fable]

@fathom notch

You use talisman?

[fathom notch]

Nope

[frail fable]

Says it scales with physical dmg so was curious

[fathom notch]

The tornado alone does but when you apply fire, ice or lightning I believe its still scaling the elemental damage

[frail fable]

Ok

[fathom notch]

DK if you saw btw but dont go primal hunger, lowered my damage

[frail fable]

What’s that

@fathom notch

[frail fable]

Ah

[atomic snow]

So, how exactly does the penetrate node on amazon work? Does it include only the accuracy on the weapon itself or is it more than that?

[ruby bluff]

ok so i got a question, attacks like empowered flame breath and rend, their dmg comes from the physical conversion right? meaning addint lightning damage to attacks might help but i mainly should be focused on physical and % lightning increase right?

[atomic halo]

only on the item

[frail fable]

@fathom notch show me your ascendancy tree

[atomic snow]

ok then.

[fathom notch]

Only done 2/4

[atomic halo]

(global) physical is worthless here because it's already converted

and for the empowered part your damage will be split fire/lightning

so i would rather focus on "elemental damage" "attack damage" "area damage" etc. generic stuff that affects both

[frail fable]

Friend helped me w 4

[kindred cradle]

First time POE2 what class do yall recommend to rush the cosmetics and have a bit of fun until everyone goes back to poe1

[celest oxide]

Are these wolf build videos bait or is wolf actually as cracked as it looks with the perma lunar blessing uptime?

[ruby bluff]

@atomic halo got ya so i def have a lot of useless point in my tree

@atomic halo i will say they dont have the elemental tag though

[atomic halo]

tags do not matter for mechanics

it's just so you can quickly identify what's going on with a skill

once that damage is converted away from physical to lightning/fire, it is no longer physical damage and will not be affected by global increases and reductions to physical damage

[ruby bluff]

so if im trying to go ligthing fire wyvern with oil and flame breath i should focus channeling attack area and elemental correct?

[echo badger]

Does black flame covenant work with the fire genie ?

[atomic halo]

right

and i just noticed you said rend as well

[ruby bluff]

ok im trying to make my first build from scratch

[atomic halo]

that one doesnt convert, right?

[ruby bluff]

with 1.5k hours in poe 1 and 500 in 2 i think its time

[atomic halo]

anyways you do not really want inc. phys or inc lightning because again your scaling will be split

[ruby bluff]

actually

i did have a questiong

would added x to attacks be really good or ok

[atomic halo]

in general, x to attacks is always good

[ruby bluff]

i thoiught it wouldnt do much but if im stacking ele im asssuminmg phys light and fire is what i want

[atomic halo]

because that's the flat damage upon which all your damage is based off of

[ruby bluff]

i c

which also means the inherite effect of rage is uselss

meaning that one node is much more useful

[atomic halo]

it is?

[ruby bluff]

its phys increase

global no?

or maybe dmg

[atomic halo]

it's not, it's more attack damage

[ruby bluff]

ah ye attack not phys

[atomic halo]

so rage is still very useful

[ruby bluff]

ok good i dint really want to commint to that rage node

im doing oracle version

trying to incorp all the lightning you get from the oracle tree and im going volls perma charge

[midnight bolt]

how do meta gems work with 2 active skills in it? do those skill gain energy separately or they chain one after another as soon as you have enough energy to cast

[sharp thorn]

Both are activated at the same time when you have enough energy. And both contribute to the cost in energy.

[glass pivot]

Just started a druid and wanted to play wyvern.
Is that something that needs a talisman over a certain level or?

[midnight bolt]

ty!

[icy kiln]

Any rage casters up in here? Trying to figure out a clear skill. Volcano with shockwave totems as trigger is kinda nutty for single target but kinda clunky clear

[lime narwhal]

is there any tech to speed up gaining glory for apocalypse? was excited for this skill only to realise you have to clear so many packs before it gets enough charge

[ruby bluff]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/passive-tree/bm1la00a
@atomic halo i feel like im all over the place

[summer pasture]

Lvl 5

[glass pivot]

item level or required level?

Cus i have a item level 7 talisman but can only do bear or wolf

[summer pasture]

Are you level 5?

[glass pivot]

level 8

[summer pasture]

You should be able to swap what form you get the basic attack on the talisman, also for the skills you need a level 3 gem

[glass pivot]

But the talisman only have bear and wolf and does not have wyvern? ._.

Or does it have to be a specific type of talisman?

[summer pasture]

Hmm, you probably need a new on then

[uncut bay]

the talisman should have a wyvern enabled in it, the level is irrelevant

[frail fable]

@fathom notch which skills are you using to apply elements

[worldly current]

I wonder if it's possible to make a plague bear

that is remotely viable for endgame

[vivid kiln]

Probably a hot take but i really don't like rage cost with the druid wyvern flame breath skill.
I didn't spoil myself beforehand so I discover the whole thing when improvising a build.
Was planning a power charge lightning/fire oriented gameplay :/

[rich bolt]

Does anybody know if thrashing vines growth ares can overlap? If you use either the plus one limit support or the plus 1 limit amulet?

[frail fable]

What curse adds fire to the ground

Anyone know

[gentle veldt]

the viper cap helmet with 4 can be considered surrounded with just one enemy like a boss? They didnt nerf this?

[supple jay]

does sacrifice work with wolf packs

[autumn egret]

if i want to buy these gloves, do i want reduced cast speed higher or lower?

[harsh fern]

well you want lower reduced cast speed naturally

[lone rivet]

Hey, I'm playing full werewolf cold/freeze atm: Will Tribal Fury splash damage work on Lunar Assault? It has a strike tag but I can scale its range with aoe so I'm not sure

[unreal girder]

How do CoC plant oracles get rage for the rage spending support on thrashing vines?

[harsh fern]

i think there is a rage reservation that gives it to you passively

or is it a passive

[lime narwhal]

shid man, druid side of the tree has practically no big strength and int nodes to boost stats, at least when I searched. starting to have trouble keeping up with attribute requirements

[pure oxide]

How important is elemental resist pierce? Seems like elemental resist is just an uncommon elite modifier on enemies

Do enemies just get passive elemental resist at some point?

[wraith topaz]

Is "crossbow shotgun wyvern werewolf witch" even viable? That's basically what I'm doing at the moment but is there room to optimise this?

[silent prawn]

Blood mage vs Oracle for the new plant skills?

[hybrid ocean]

Most enemies have innate resistance to at least one element, so there is that

[vocal parrot]

So apparently a bunch of passive skills just don't exist for other classes, but a bunch of the online resources just still show those oracle nodes. Makes it a pain to plan builds and pob wasn't updated yet

[silent prawn]

some sites will have them in different colors

[vocal parrot]

And some don't show a difference at all, and just show them for all classes regardless. Bonkers decision

[old kayak]

Hi! Still leraning the game and have a question: "#% damage while shapeshifted" means if I put a totem down, then shapeshift, the totems will get the bonus ?
But then does that mean that I I change my weapon set the totem does not use the bonus frmo the weapon set used to cast it anymore ?

[plush zealot]

ok so from my understanding of this line here in rampage skill
the attack speed of this skill is based on movespeed instead

[analog rain]

hey gamers,
With how ignite works, being the magnitude of the ignite is a percentage of the damage that did the ignite,
it doesnt seem great to try to ignite with rapid shot, the crossbow fire damage skill right?

like don't get magnitude for this, it's not going to do alot of damage over time, because the ignite doesn't stack

[frail fable]

Does tornado count as a spell?

[frail fable]

My b lmaooo

[analog rain]

youre good : )

it is also these

[frail fable]

Messing around with my tree for spell n elemental damage

N curse mag n aoe

Doing tornado shamen it’s breezing through act 4 even tho setup is scuffed

[rough girder]

Does Druidic Champion give spell damage if i take Primal Hunger ? (I think not but idk)

[potent trout]

https://i.imgur.com/w3cwnW9.png
does anyone know if this comes with a negative effect? as in the mobs who are not resisting lightning will get less damage as they get inverted and have high lightning res. or is it only a positive effect?

[midnight bolt]

any spark gamers? ow impactful is loss of ricochet 3?

[silent prawn]

technically only the base rage effects are disabled.

so everything from passive tree should work

[rough girder]

k ty for the info i will test that after my 2nd sekhema ^^

[dreamy mulch]

If I warcry with weapon set 2 does it empower slams on weapon set 1?

[minor tree]

does anyone know what the align fate (from oracle) delay between casts scales with?

[fathom notch]

Burning Inscription Support Gem on a curse will create ignited ground

[topaz anchor]

Which level 1 supports did y'all place in pounce while leveling? I just have fist of war for now

[smoky ice]

I'm confused how "Extra damage" works for a build
Does the "Attacks with this Weapon gain 100% of Physical damage as Extra damage of each Element" from https://poe2db.tw/us/Doomfletch work with increased physical nodes on the tree?
Like, can I scale the physical damage of the bow with increased physical damage % on the passive tree, and boost the extra damage with elemental damage nodes?

[nova ember]

so is there a way in poe 2 to make so % of dmg taken bypasses energy shield

[true sparrow]

Returned to the game, anyone know why requirements not met in passive tree to allocate? Have the skill points for it.
The next node should be able to be ticked..

[tawdry prism]

Now has 50% increased Magnitude of Shock inflicted, instead of 50% more Magnitude of Shock inflicted.

Can anyone eli5 this change?

nvm, now its additive instead of multiplciative

[compact vine]

i assume it wouldn't, but can anyone confirm whether ES would recoup instead of life with this?

[vapid storm]

Hows the unquie ashbark talisman

the 7 div one

worth the price?

[silver urchin]

Recoup is not regen

[midnight geode]

if i use this on snipe, is the dmg bonus gonna apply on the first hit? Or do i have to hit the perfect timing window, and then every snipe after that will do more dmg?

[cold frigate]

what venom draught did you guys get ?

[unborn hemlock]

Is any planner up to date with new tree and ascendancies?

[drifting burrow]

planning out a retaliate-iron ward build (with a bit of thorns for funsies)

[gentle veldt]

how to scale flame breath of the wyvern? Meele skill in gear doesnt work on it, right? Any way to level up the skill?

[rigid bay]

does rageforge work with furious slam? my enrage slams still cost 10 rage

[dreamy mulch]

what is the name of the support that summons plants on cast?

[rustic jolt]

Hey where do ppl find good recent builds?

Google is failing me rn and i need to rebuild my gemling

[midnight geode]

https://poe.ninja/poe2/builds

[rustic jolt]

(thabk you)

[keen notch]

anyone tried mjolner druid this patch?

[ocean verge]

is tempered by war actually in poe2? poe2db says it is but I cant find any actual source of it, unless im dumb af and there are in fact lethal pride jewels in poe 2

[daring veldt]

hey for plant build which class does it better? Oracle, Bloodmage or Varashtra

[short topaz]

I wanna make a chronomacer as it was my favourite when I first played but I don't know what would pair well with it as I remember people calling it weak before

[serene minnow]

anyway to automate warcries ?

[pure oracle]

Does the "X% increased mana recovery from flasks" work on the unique mana flask?

[crystal finch]

Wolf or bear for druid?? im leaning more towards wolf but i dont know

[strong solar]

for a new player, whats an easy build to get to the end of the campaign with?

[azure wyvern]

idk if it is worth getting 3 poison nodes on amulet

Blackflame Oracle with like 220% increased chaos damage
30% gained extra chaos dmg

just from passive tree

[serene minnow]

anyone tested this interaction ? would you still get the spell damage ?

[azure wyvern]

no

"also grants" was stated somewhere is added to "rage effect"

[serene minnow]

ah ok

[smoky ice]

I'm confused how "Extra damage" works for a build
Does the "Attacks with this Weapon gain 100% of Physical damage as Extra damage of each Element" from https://poe2db.tw/us/Doomfletch work with increased physical nodes on the tree?
Like, can I scale the physical damage of the bow with increased physical damage % on the passive tree, and boost the extra damage with elemental damage nodes?

[sharp thorn]

No. Gain as extra works only with resulting damage types. You need increased elemental.

[smoky ice]

ah check thank you.
but 'add # to # additional phyiscal damage to attack' should boost it, right?

[dull eagle]

so out of curiousity, if you have more than 100% of armour applies to elemental damage, like say 120% does it actually add that much? like 1.2x your armour vs ele dmg hits? or is anymore than 100% redundant

[sharp thorn]

Yeah, because it's added as flat damage before conversions.

[sharp thorn]

You can stack this stat above 100%.

[icy kiln]

Any rage casters up in here? Trying to figure out a clear skill. Volcano with shockwave totems as trigger is kinda nutty for single target but kinda clunky clear

[midnight geode]

any chronomancers? If i use a freeze consume skill on a frozen boss, that is also time frozen. Will the cold freeze be consumed?

[hidden ingot]

anyone got a fun interactive Chronomancer build? i was looking on youtube but cant find sht for the new league

[signal sky]

I was going full rage bear an doin fissure with a slam i was gonna grab longer skill duration on my tree but will that help time of need?

[patent shell]

can someobody explain to me why lvl 3 give u downside ?

[sharp thorn]

Because GGG designs some gems so that higher tiers don't automatically mean improvements.

Maybe you need to hit fast and don't care about damage.

[pastel vapor]

Yes usually 1 opens up a style, 2 generally improves it, and 3 makes it more extreme/specialization with a downside

[crimson lava]

So Shaman vs Oracle for werewolf builds? I've been seeing more and more folks go Oracle and I'm curious why

[white spindle]

Moxsy maybe? he made a decent wolf build

he went Oracle

[sleek yacht]

Yo I’m theorycrafting a str stacker what’s the best way to reliably get staggering palm heavy stuns

[white spindle]

i really hope they buff Wolf pack, i was hoping to go a wolf summon druid but they suck way to much right now

[sleek yacht]

I need a way to get projectiles on a quarter staff skill

[crimson lava]

Yeah I wanted to try that too with the unique, pounce, and spirit skill. It just doesn't seem feasible

Maybe if we went necromancer?

[round marten]

any1 know why im not generating rage?

[sudden tartan]

would an amazon shapeshifter be viable or would that be too many travel nodes

[atomic halo]

well, i must ask if you are hitting with a melee skill

[atomic halo]

depends on where you're travelling, you dont actually have to path to shapeshifting for shapeshifting to be good

[sudden tartan]

hmm ok what things would you recommend

[white spindle]

just go lightning Wyvern amazon and spec into lightning nodes

[atomic halo]

ive already seen people discuss their amazon shapeshifters on this server

[celest oxide]

Should I switch to Wolf stuff or Wyvern stuff?

On Bear only in act 3 but the endgame stuff I've seen people playing on bear lookin kinda boring for me personally

[sudden tartan]

i was maybe thinking like adding bleed stuff because I know huntress has some bleed stuff nearby i think?

[white spindle]

frost wolf looks fun in end game, they go Cast on freeze

[sudden tartan]

i could also just do lightning wyvern

[white spindle]

from what i have been seeing though lightning Wyvern is kinda broken right now, prob get nerfed

it melts bosses

[celest oxide]

Empowered Rend looks like it'd really release the seratonin in my brain too

idk

just looks satisfying

[round marten]

yes lunar assault and shred

[celest oxide]

but zippy af with wolf

[white spindle]

wolf is kind of like a glass cannaon, you freeze them and go crazy, if you dont kill them then you are dead lol

[whole fog]

any good nodes on the Druid side for Storm weaver

[summer pasture]

Do you see a red gauge filling up, or a number by your mana going up? Also runes will glow on your wolf form when you have at least 10 rage

[celest oxide]

Amazon seems kinda cool for Wyvern

[lime narwhal]

how are folks solving attribut problems for druid? I'm nearing level 14 gems and i'm nowhere close to the 103 strength or int requirements for some spirit gems. as far as i can see there are no big attribute nodes anywhere on the druid side of the tree

[summer pasture]

Getting it on gear and splitting the attributes nodes between str and int

[lime narwhal]

doing as much as i can but levelling crafting and gear drops are so trash as usual. I miss when abyss was everywhere, made gearing during campiagn so much smoother

[summer pasture]

Are you using the temple? That's has plenty of crafting stuff, its how I made made some good gear

[lime narwhal]

I am but I never have shit worth crafting on when I get there and if I do its always a miss on whatever bench i use

nowhere near as good as having the abyss currency last league

[azure wyvern]

Does this spread Contagion?

[flat orbit]

no

they just explode

it doesn’t spread

[azure wyvern]

thanks
weird they don't say radius of the explosion

[tranquil wagon]

guys anyone here with EXPLOSIVE GRENADE Build ? if you can help me with a good guide iwill be really thankful cuz i saw alot of builds

[frail fable]

@fathom notch you using staff? Or wand btw

My setup going good rn but wanted to know what wep ur using

[fathom notch]

Staff with elemental damage, spell power, and +# levels to spells

[frail fable]

Bet

Figured as much

You using the new spell dmg gloves?

[fathom notch]

No? Whats the name

[frail fable]

My rings kinda fixed the cast speed part

Tbh didn’t notice it being any slower

[fathom notch]

Tbf im kinda pivoting my build atm, the eye of winter is doing crazy damage but I think sorc would be a better class choice for the build ^ (That being said I havent tried the other druid class with hidden paths and inevitable crits.)

[summer pasture]

There is some pretty nutty nodes, like cower before the first ones giving 30% increased to all damage types

[frail fable]

That’s from oracle?

[fathom notch]

Oracle might be the better choice

but no idea havent went it ^

[frail fable]

Idek what nodes are on it gotta see

[summer pasture]

Yes

[frail fable]

I can easily get another lvl 4 trial done if I gotta swap but rn it’s feeling good 4 me on shaman

[thin basin]

is there like no utility spectre at all

[fathom notch]

This with cast on crit might be crazy

[summer pasture]

By taking paths unseen

[frail fable]

Damn

Can tornados even crit?

[summer pasture]

Yes

[fathom notch]

You sure?

[frail fable]

What node gives you a second tornado

Forgot name

Idol of maxarius or sum

[summer pasture]

Wow tornado doesn't have crit chance huh

[fathom notch]

You can take a support gem over abunance

[frail fable]

That actually works?

[hasty vault]

Is there a definitive better option for cold wolf between oracle and shaman? Seems like some of the speedsters start shaman but then as you have more points at higher levels switching over

[frail fable]

Boutta slot that in lol

[hasty vault]

Interesting how oracle gets better with levels since you can go deeper into the strong oracle points

[frail fable]

Wym by this bro

[fathom notch]

Im not sure... I would think Oracle? Again supporting a crit build etc but havent used wolf form :/

[hasty vault]

Easier to get more oracle nodes with more skill points and depth into the skill tree, whereas shaman is just good solid flat.

[fathom notch]

Is the wolf pack based off spirit?

[frail fable]

Don’t think so no

[summer pasture]

Pounce gives up 4 wolves and there is a Wolfpack spirit gem for 60 spirit that gives wolves

[fathom notch]

Was thinking people go minion build with sacred flow on shaman?

[hasty vault]

Seems like that would be best with some kind of hybrid minion or more pure minion build

[frail fable]

What spirit gems were you running @fathom notch

[summer pasture]

The wolves themselves don't reserve spirit

[fathom notch]

Barkskin for some defence but didnt really look too deep into it ^

[frail fable]

Ah

[fathom notch]

Have been getting gold to respec into a Reaping Staff Blood Tornado Build

[frail fable]

Blood tornado sounds funny lol

[radiant girder]

Anyone can tell me the difference between warbringer and titan shield wall build? I’m about to ascend and looking for advice.

[grand nebula]

When do I unlock more support slots for my basic attack? I'm 33 and still on two slots?

[quartz pewter]

Anyone else getting longer loads on town trasitions?

I feel like they chaged something

[fathom notch]

They did some optimization change, might run fast now once your in

[frozen knot]

Doesn't the effects from quality only give 2% damage as extra cold or does the gain happen before the conversion?

[quartz pewter]

Yeah that's what I was thinking. Hmmm..

[wraith palm]

conversion is first

[frozen knot]

that was what i was thinking but the effects from quality seemed so bad that i had to ask xD

[celest oxide]

Which draft have yall been taking on Shaman?

I'm thinking Mana regen will be nice cause we're taking Wellspring later

but Stun Threshold is nice with the slam too

[ocean verge]

does anyone know if rage consumption of a skill is done before or after passive tree calculations. Specifically im using ferocious slam (bear slam) and it uses 25 rage, on my passive tree I have every 10 rage is 12% inc. phys damage. Is the %inc phys damage being applied to the slam before or after it consumes the rage?

I just want to know if that node is worth it or not with rage forged support, as with 60 max rage am i getting 72% inc phys damage with my slam or only 36%. I dont really know of a way to test this, the in game tooltip(detailed view or not) doesnt update fast enough to show if it counts before or after rage consumption

[midnight bolt]

Does detonate dead corpse portion oof the damage scale with anything?

[zinc linden]

Any broken build?

[next ore]

does Fiery Death do Chaos damage with blackflame? technically has a Fire tag hmm

[dreamy valley]

How do i make Herald of Ash work? i'm a druid

[ocean verge]

only works with talisman, not with staff (bear form or wyvern only iirc, not sure if it works with wolf)

[static plinth]

Gain As and Conversion are one step
