2┃build-planning

[lusty shard]

If you have a character, you could respec and see if it works.

[past wind]

True i will im standard league ig

[lusty shard]

I am standard too

but deleted all my character and restarted lol, but I am not on this side of the tree with my new char, otherwise I would have tested it for you

[past wind]

But yea im planning to play a build where i stack mana regain only for everything

And mana

And this seems like q very good unique for that

[lusty shard]

recoup is pretty nice for that

[past wind]

I will have recoup too.. from Disciple of V

[lusty shard]

what are you trying to achieve?

[past wind]

But that’s limited for couple seconds i guess

[lusty shard]

going with mind over mater?

or why the high mana stacking

[past wind]

Tryna make one resource do everything as possible

Might run indigon later

[lusty shard]

What damage skill are you going to use?

[past wind]

Not settled yet.. was tryna see defensive layers first

[lusty shard]

I see, interesting project to work on.

[past wind]

From poe1 i learned focusing on defense is best.. cause or else u struggle

[lusty shard]

oh yea poe2 forces you even more to focus on defense lol

[past wind]

Yup

[lusty shard]

but you could also just go with high energy shield and you will be fine

energy shield is the best defense right now in the game

just go as high as you can lol

and get some ES faster start and recharge

[past wind]

True

[lusty shard]

If you go armor/life you will need many defense layers which will be expensive

and Evasion/deflect is more like gambling lol

[past wind]

I will get armor if i stack mana btw

[lusty shard]

I recommend going high energy shield, it can even survive big slams

[past wind]

From the unique body armor

Imma try both with eternal youth and without

[lusty shard]

Add a shield then for block chance if you wanna go armor/life

[hoary linden]

how good is fast metabolism for bloodmage?

[lusty shard]

and you will need a lot of armor applies to elemental damage in case you go armor

[lusty shard]

hmmm never tried

Honestly for what you are trying to achieve I would go with high energy shield, that's your best bet for the best defense

[hoary linden]

idk how it works so i am asking for it

[past wind]

Im just tryna see how to make of disciple of V acendancy nodes..

[lusty shard]

disciple is one of the best classes for ES

[past wind]

One of the nodes saya 40% more er recharge if on low ER soo if im playing Eternal youth then i will be always low on ER which should convert to more life recharge

And -1 sec recharge start delay if that applies to HP it becomes more thicker layer

[lusty shard]

the problem is, the lower your energy shield is the less armor you get

if your ES is down then you get no armor

[past wind]

How

Why would es lower my armor?

My Armor scales of max mana

[lusty shard]

It says current energy shield

[past wind]

Not taking that node tho

Cause im running Eternal youth

And also i wont have Energy shield because im using elderith battery

So thats why Energy shield gets useless

[lusty shard]

which means if a monster hit you and you are let's say on 10 energy shield left, then 60% of this 10 energy shield will be used to determine your physical damage reduction

which is basically nothing

so only good if your energy shield is full

[past wind]

Issue is.. im a mana stacker build tho and using elderith battery

And yes im taking elemental damage on my mana bode from diciple

So gotta outheal and armor from physical and chaos damage

[lusty shard]

I am not even sure if this all works

[past wind]

I outheal by life recharge

[lusty shard]

[past wind]

Lets see

[lusty shard]

Yes, try it out sir.

[past wind]

But u get my point right?

[lusty shard]

sure

just not sure if everything you are trying to do works together.

[past wind]

Going this route cause of elderith battery and mana stacking

[lusty shard]

just wondering where you get your damage from when you focus only on defense

🤔

[past wind]

There are uniques that gives u damage based on how much mana u got

For example indigon

Gives damage based on your mana spent

For attack build their is another unique helmet

[lusty shard]

I see

[woven depot]

mind of the council

[past wind]

Yes

[wise breach]

which is better at max pinnacle build, druid temporalis or blood mage temporalis

[oblique marlin]

is this known bug that its snapshot your ES when you take passive and did not change it after even if you change gear and add more or less ES?
so just wear maximum ES gear, take Keystone and then change gear to anything else you need, Mana value will not change

[iron ermine]

is there a way to fix that or?

would it be using the support gem on coc that reverses elemental resistances?

[mellow coral]

Well

Do more damage

[mellow coral]

I can show you what I'm using

[iron ermine]

yes please

send everything in dms

then ill show u what ive got

[mellow coral]

Sounds good

[oblique marlin]

P.S. items you replacing must be without FLAT ES, only ES % can bug out

[atomic halo]

like, global % inc es?

#% increased Maximum Energy Shield, like on your ammy?

[past wind]

Guys was energy barrier support gem removed from the game? I cant find it

[drifting apex]

removed in 0.3 afaik

[past wind]

Me ded 😭 why it still shows in all the web that still there

[rancid beacon]

i have ancestral cry on my skill bar, and i have consistent enemy ignite, but it never gets to the point of activating. hammer of the gods is activating once enough ignite is built up. am i missing something about building glory or this skill in general?

[cerulean kraken]

What's the best way to trigger on-kill effects on a minion build?

[pastel forge]

What's a good way to freeze bosses on an edc build?

[cerulean kraken]

edc?

[pastel forge]

Essence drain contagion

[woven depot]

If you get your dark effigy juiced enough you can just put chaotic freeze on contagion

[dusky wadi]

how are grenade or balista builds in endgame? im at lvl 84 as a witchhunter and im contemplating between staying witchhunter and going grenades or going tactitian and doing balistas

[silk gust]

Hey did you have time to look at my poor pob?

[old ermine]

Are the pathfiner’s concoction skills still good?

[mellow coral]

You had a stormweaver ele weakness coc build right?

the main problem wirth the build is that you didnt hgave enough crit to proc coc

youd probably wanna get a weapon that has crit chance for spell on it, also potentially consider trying out using maligaros

[silk gust]

Correct, yes

[silk gust]

Alright, ill start looking at this first. Thanks for the help

Is it either the gloves or a new weapon or both?

[mellow coral]

Probably both, I'd say the weapon is higher priority though

[silk gust]

Maybe I can increase the crit chance with a jewel too

[silk gust]

I am not that rich

[mellow coral]

You don't have to go for t1 everything. Search for level of cold spells, crit, spell damage and gain damage as either cold or lightning

Cast speed, second gain, ele damage are good bonuses tho

[silk gust]

Ok thanks, sorry for the pings

[mellow coral]

Also, I'd recommend using pob to compare dps, makes it easier to visualize

[mellow coral]

All g, ping whenever

Might be asleep tho

Feel free to dm me also btw

[silk gust]

Up to you, I dont want to just randomly DM people

[mellow coral]

That's why I said, either here or dm is fine

[silk gust]

Thats better

[mellow coral]

No spell damage tho

Needs to be checked

Not sure what's better, 2 gain damage as, or 1 gain and spell damage

[silk gust]

Hmm

This one then?

[mellow coral]

Not bad, should probably test in pob tho

To compare

[uncut bay]

replace all supports in frostbolt except sione's temper, get much more base ES on items, +3 to skills and increased ES on the amulet, a staff with one or two gains, cast speed, crit chance, one or two spell damages, + to cold spells

[silk gust]

What supports in Frostbolt do you suggest?

should i maybe get rid of Siphon Elements and replace it with Snap

actually nvm

[uncut bay]

proj acceleration, considered casting, sione's temper, then maybe efficiency/magnified area/deliberation dpending on what you like

[oblique marlin]

[patent lantern]

Does Climate Change really work with Fragmentation Rounds Freeze-consuming blast? It seems to be a pretty popular combo on ninja, but when I try it the Flammability build up seems ridiculously low for something that should be 25% of a damage amount that takes huge chunks out of rares/bosses.

From what I (maybe) understand, the skill gem's conversion from phys to cold would go first, then climate change's 25% cold gain as fire, but the really crappy Flammability build up is making me doubtful

[brittle anvil]

the skill gem's conversion from phys to cold would go first, then climate change's 25% cold gain as fire
yes

I openned a random guy's pob and their support giving less damage lol

their climate change only contribute 4% more damage

[mellow coral]

Well yeah, but there's a reason why they're using it

Do you know what cold attunement does?

Lol

[brittle anvil]

gain cold and less the others?

[mellow coral]

You gain more cold, makes you freeze more

That's why it's useful even if it's a bit less dps

[brittle anvil]

but it's on frag rounds, the freeze consumer, not the freezer

[mellow coral]

Huh

[brittle anvil]

and they have perfect 8% gain ATD, perfect 30% gain heart of the well

adding more gain is just diminishing return

https://poe.ninja/poe2/builds/vaal/character/HeavyHuman-1644/ShkarchiJadoger?i=1&search=skills%3DFragmentation%2BRounds%26anointed%3DClimate%2BChange%26sort%3Ddps

anyway pob if you wanna see it

[mellow coral]

Mhm, ty

[vivid dagger]

any Concoction build this league?? or they killed that too

[pliant edge]

is there such a thing as a good caster build that doesnt use Comet at all

thrashing vines are so bad too like bro hit the damn boss not the voices in your head

[woven depot]

Edc/incinerate

lightning conduit (probably)

[pliant edge]

nerfed

[pliant edge]

also nerfed

[woven depot]

alright play comet

[pliant edge]

lol ew no

i have 1600+ hours in poe2 and ive never been this bored with spell builds

because theyre all comet

[woven depot]

Incin is still hitting like 5-10mil dps numbers

[pliant edge]

do you have any link to someone using it?

having only 5 seconds of fuel is so bad

[woven depot]

You can bother @hoary ingot

He loves talking about incinerate

[pliant edge]

also flame breath wyvern is just better incinerate afaik

[hoary ingot]

[woven depot]

To be fair it is

[hoary ingot]

simply no

i out dps my friend

gg

[woven depot]

Flame breath is giga overpowered

[pliant edge]

why do you use dark effigy

if incin is so good

[hoary ingot]

to help clear

and to apply poison

extra ignite magnitude

[pliant edge]

ah ya i played with that on oracle

i put 500 divs into making incin work and failed and rerolled into wyvern but i hate managing buffs

[pliant edge]

can this work on oracle? i cant be assed to do campaign again

[hoary ingot]

a friend of mine is currently trying it

[pliant edge]

im currently running something similar

[hoary ingot]

check out chronomancer chat

[hoary ingot]

are you for real using this wand

for edc

[pliant edge]

its so bad i know

i messed up and lost the spell damage chaos dmg mods

[hoary ingot]

https://tenor.com/view/skeleton-gif-25720883

[pliant edge]

im playing on second wind rn and there isnt anything on trade

[hoary ingot]

overrated

[pliant edge]

but but the pops!

[hoary ingot]

it doesnt really matter when contagion spread just one shots everything

[pliant edge]

the clear is so good on my char i dont need contagion

i just run around spamming ED

but i can go watch the new avengers movie before getting a boss to 60%

[pliant edge]

not bad

how does the incinerate handle t3 pinnacles?

[hoary ingot]

they just die

[pliant edge]

cuz i think i got the clear down. i know i need a better wand but thats gonna be pricey

[hoary ingot]

last time i went to uber arbiter was like 2 weeks ago or something

2 or 3 weeks

[pliant edge]

if i can use weapon swap tactics... i have a focus on slot 2 that has +1 to totems

[hoary ingot]

my damage went up by atleast 3 or 4 times since then

[pliant edge]

have you tried incorporating flameblast?

[hoary ingot]

not really my thing

too long cd

[pliant edge]

but youre a chrono haha

and with mana remnants you can use khatals rejuvenation

[hoary ingot]

unfortunately that doesnt mean like

i get 1 sec cooldown for flame blast

[pliant edge]

i know but you dont need much against a boss

with a big blast, the ignite does the work

[hoary ingot]

i just incinerate them anyways kek

[pliant edge]

so why chrono then?

[hoary ingot]

for time stop

to safely channel the incinerate

[pliant edge]

ah

cuz offensively youre only taking chaos dmg nodes

[hoary ingot]

i mean i can go kil xesth for u

like now

[pliant edge]

its too expensive lol

[hoary ingot]

i have like 1.2k breach splinters

[pliant edge]

ok id love to see

i think i can make it work on oracle

[hoary ingot]

as i told my friend befpre

you would have to freeze the boss

[pliant edge]

why just for safety?

[hoary ingot]

otherwise you have a chance to get stunned or boss moves away from debuff areas and you just waste fuel

which leads to dps loss

[pliant edge]

interesting. i can make freeze work

especially with tuls stillness

[hoary ingot]

@pliant edge

[pliant edge]

thats hot

hmm i cant afford that vertex

[hoary ingot]

real hot

[hoary ingot]

doubled my dps btw

[pliant edge]

its about 450 div on Second Wind lol

i have 100

[hoary ingot]

i got it for i dunno

190?

[pliant edge]

dayum

[hoary ingot]

one socket

kek

[pliant edge]

i guess i can afford a +3

double socket

[pliant edge]

is it worth ?

[hoary ingot]

if you want resistance or whatever sure

i didnt need so i didnt play 200 extra divs

heres my absolutely fucking busted staff

bought the base and crafted myself

[pliant edge]

ya that is insane indeed

[hoary ingot]

maybe i should make a fire build too

instead of black flame

crafted myself aswell from scratch

[pliant edge]

bro ive been trying to make a fire build

but fire ball is just eye cancer

[shadow wyvern]

Dumb question, but I'm only gonna see +cold skills modifiers on wands/staves, right?

[patent lantern]

Thanks for this, though, even with Cold Attunement, it seems weird a 25% gain would come out to only 4%.

[static basin]

should I change my passive tree around or what? I dont know what to do next with this build. I feel I'm too broke to path for the max mana that I'm trying to go for.

https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/Robfu-6038/character/Trevekuri

[odd vault]

I wanna make a flame breath cast on ailment Comet. But ive ran into a problem. Idk how to "fire infuse" the comets. Will it do that Automatic when i use flame breath wich is a fire skill or do i need to do something speciel?

[static torrent]

You require a Fire Infusion in order to infuse the Comet. Fire Infusions can be generated by a number of things, but they're not just automatically obtained on using a Fire skill.

[odd vault]

If i use a wyvern what would be the best and optimal way to generate them?

[static torrent]

Something like Siphon Elements would allow it to be automatic from your Ignites, Living Bomb could also be triggered to generate them using it instead. I wouldn't know what the best option is, though.

[odd vault]

Is siphon elements a support gem? And how much spirit does it neez?

Need*

[static torrent]

It's a Spirit gem, only 30 Spirit.

[odd vault]

That sounds like good way. Is there any way to boost the chance? And would i get enough fire infusions if i am doing Comet cast on ailment?

[real zealot]

Ive run coa and infusions, but not for fire. When i used cold infusions for my manual comet, they were plentiful bc i froze every enemy

[odd vault]

And how did you get cold infusion?

[lilac hinge]

does anyone know why this guy would give his minions charges?
https://poe.ninja/poe2/builds/vaal/character/15310388859-3822/美杨娜娜?i=0&search=skills%3DSpectre%253A%2BPowered%2BZealot%26passiveids%3D33979%26class%3D!Oracle%26columns%3Dcharacter%252Clevel%252Clife%252Cenergyshield%252Cehp%252Citemrarity%252Ccoldres%252Cdps%252Ckeystoneskill

[real zealot]

I would assume that most comets would be infused

Bossfights youll have to pick up the fire remnants if you care about the boost

[odd vault]

Ah okay i mean k think the dmg i need is for the boss but that would already be ignited so it would i ly be the first Comet?

[real zealot]

I think you get infusions by killing or critting an enemy with ele ailments

So you would need to ignite boss, crit it, then pick up remnants

[odd vault]

The picture fairshadow send says that theres a chance to spaen a remnent if you Ignite an enemy if its not already ben ignited

[real zealot]

Are you just trying to insta kill bosses with comet?

[odd vault]

Nope someone just said to me that with fire infusion it deals like 2 times more dmg

[real zealot]

Oh, yeah its pretty good

[odd vault]

Whats that detonate dead?

Is that a spirit gem too

[real zealot]

Idk about that one

[odd vault]

Oh okay. Anyways thanks for you're help

[real zealot]

Of course, nps

[static torrent]

Detonate Dead is a regular Spell which requires a Corpse to be usable.

[mint summit]

I ran a set up with elemental equilibrium where I generated cold infusions with lightning warp, used those cold infusions to freeze people a lot using frost nova, and the freezes generated fire infusions through siphon elements for my comets

I had lightning warp on coa

[hoary ingot]

@pliant edge

[pliant edge]

ya you definitely have some insane dmg

good build ma dude

[odd vault]

That sounds expensive. And that wouldn't work for me since im wyvern shaman

[frigid forum]

any good twink builds? looking to level a ritualist

[fringe kelp]

Does anyone know if eye of winter benefits from the "spell skills have % chance to fire 2 additional projectiles"?

I fear that it does, but like, it's normal projectile count is like 80, and it goes to 82 🙄

[brittle anvil]

No WITH cold attunement and other sources of gain that makes it 4%, it's diminishing return, like pouring a bucket of water into a pool

But that's the case of the build I picked, idk what your build is

[patent lantern]

I'm just a playing a Witch in Act 2 that was shocked to see 25% Cold as Fire on Frag's Frozen consumer come out to.. 2% Flammability gain.

Even as it chunked the usual 20-25% of HP off the engineer boss

I use Frost Bomb too, so if she has Fire Resist (I'm guessing she does) it was probably mostly or entirely gone

[brittle anvil]

Could it be that the frag consumed freeze before the gain is applied? Idk tho

[patent lantern]

That's my guess, but if so, a lot of folks on Ninja are making that mistake and haven't noticed. 😄 That's the paradox I'm trying to resolve

A lot of folks clearly think this setup works. I'm doubtful I have discovered something that so many folks are wrong about.

...but that still leaves, at the least, "why doesn't it seem to work for me?"

[brittle anvil]

You can test it

Use a cold spell, freeze then hit it with climate allocated, note the flammability. Buy a wand with only gain 25% as fire, no other damage mods, hit the same mob and not flammability.

[patent lantern]

The second part'll be tough, I'm in SSF 😄

[brittle anvil]

[patent lantern]

I didn't anticipate needing to do any science 😄

It seemed like a very straightforward build idea

But Climate Change not cooperating is kind of a bummer

Hmm... maybe there's another way to test though.

If I get much higher flammability from other cold sources... despite them doing much less cold damage...

That would suggest something is wonky

Frag Rounds claims to do 249-675 Cold. Frost Nova is 32-48.

Should be no contest which would do more Flammability

Bit difficult to test, but I found a rare.. hitting it with both only resulted in 1% Flammability

Got 2% on that one, with Frag Rounds

Okay, got a video

Infused Frost Nova did 3% Flammability

Frag Shot did 2%, to the engineer boss

Recording came out slightly choppy, but still shows the important bits

Frost Nova's clearly doing about the same Flammability (or even a little more) as Frag Shot vs. Frozen, even though Frag Shot's damage is higher by a very large margin

[olive compass]

Whats the catch with one handed maces? How do i do dmg with them? They seem to have too litle flat phys

[atomic halo]

well, dual wielding combines damage from both

but also that you cn double up on global mods

like + to all skills and gain as phys, etc.

[pastel forge]

Does incinerate scale off cast speed or is it fixed intervals?

And does it scale off crit dmg? There's a base crit on incinerate and some post on reddit seem to suggest it can, but the base crit is low so I don't even know if scaling crit is worth it (am on oracle).

[pastel forge]

Also anyone knows if dominus grasps works with ricochet (chain from terrain)? Or does that not count as chaining?

[hybrid ocean]

I know you can't chain to terrain, so I imagine you'd need pierce

[pastel forge]

?

I'm a bit confused about what you mean by pierce here

[hybrid ocean]

So if you have only one enemy for instance, you could hit the ground and chain to them

But if you hit them first, it'll just stop

Chaining only happens if there's a valid target

[pastel forge]

Hmm

[hybrid ocean]

So you'd want pierce, so you can hit the enemy, hit the terrain behind them, chain to the enemy and then pierce them onto terrain again

At which point you'll be able to see if the interaction actually works

[pastel forge]

I think I lack slots for that then

But I am near pierce nodes so maybe

It uses nova projectiles + ricochet+salvo on oil barrage to create a bunch of random barrages that chain into the boss

And I need pinpoint crit for the build so that just leaves 1 slot

Let's see if it works when I'm back from office then

[pastel forge]

Thanks for the suggestion

[hybrid ocean]

Please do report back once you've tested this, I'm quite interested as well

[pastel forge]

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3587259

This is from poe1 so if the interaction is unchanged it should work?

Unless the ricochet ascendancy they are referring to is a totally different mechanic

I'm excited now

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3aEOMgtGvzw&pp=ygUbcG8yIG9pbCBiYXJyYWdlIHdpdGNoaHVudGVy

Building off on this

[pastel forge]

seems like its working, pierce + dominus

but its a bit of a blur whether you can ricochet > pierce > richochet

Is there any unique item that gives u attack damage stacking of your max hp?

Or something that does huge damage to yourself but gives big damage… i have super fast hp recovery and idk what to make best out of it

[pastel forge]

berserk/savage fury

savage is talisman only

[past wind]

Perfect

Wonder how it will work with hp recharge

I expect myself to get to full hp every 2 seconds with the amount of fast energy recharge I got and recharge rate cause I’m running eternal youth

[pastel forge]

dont think you can recharge with it on but you can try

[past wind]

Running disciple of vastiri…. Ik energy shield is better but no i wont run energy shield

-1 second energy Shield start delay… should apply to life as well

Elemental damage will be taken by mana… it’s armor build… so will have armor by stacking mana… using this body armor

My main goal was to build a defensive layers all based on this

And running elderith battery so I won’t have any Energy shield soo better run life recharge

So i’m tryna get tons of mana

And decent hp hit pool for chaos and physical damage

And I also will be recouping damage thanks to naviris Oasis skill from the accendasy

For damage I will be using crit

But i need more ways for scale damage uhh 😬

Mana stacking is my only other way i guess

[hoary ingot]

[tulip lintel]

Hey folks, I've been trying to use PoB to come up with an good/powerful build but what seems to be good in PoB turns out to be pretty bad in game. Are there any resources on how to flesh out a build on PoB that works in game?

I find that I end up chasing node power and end up with an unfocused or dps heavy build

Any tips on approaching a build from the ground up?

[fickle orbit]

If it works in POB but doesnt work in game, then its one of the following

1. You are using different things in the game. For example, weaker gear or lower level gems
2. You are misunderstanding how a specific mechanic works. For example, running two/three curses with a single curse limit
3. You set your POB settings wrong - for example, you are calculating vs normal mobs instead of uniques/bosses
4. You focus too much on full dps, which is spread out across many skills. Remember that in most cases, your dps will come from 1-2 skills at most.
5. You are just playing bad. It happens.

EDIT: This was meant for POE1 build advice, i just realise this is POE2 channel. But most of the points still stand

Can you give example of one of your builds that doesnt work?

[tulip lintel]

Nice tips, thanks for the reply, it does apply to both because I had similar with poe1 with keepers.
II make sure my items match etc, but often times I'll change my passive tree to take nodes that offer the most dps and end up with a few hundred thousand dps more in PoB. Then I'll make the same changes in game and the damage will feel no different at best

[fickle orbit]

Specifically in POE2, a lot less is calculated properly in POB. For example it cant calculate resistance penetration properly.

Some skills also arent calculated right in regards to scaling

[tulip lintel]

But it sounds like it could be a config issue, or maybe map mods throwing it out

[fickle orbit]

POB1 is finetuned to the point where you can often trust it more than the game (as weird as it sounds)

POB2 is more like a rough sketch of the textbook to refer to when you dont want to read the actual textbook

[tulip lintel]

Ah ok, fair point

I find the upgrade finder will give me a list of items that are a lot worse than my current, so I create the search myself and past the url to have pob parse it for me

[fickle orbit]

Upgrade finder is unreliable in poe2. Also make sure you play with the values - it runs something like 1,0 dps 0,5 ehp or something, so it will try to put defences on your weapon

[tulip lintel]

Last league I theorycrafted a build that was 100x my dps and bricked my character because it didn't actually work at all and I couldn't even get through labs to switch ascendancy

[fickle orbit]

It also really likes (in both poe1 and poe2) to overvalue conditional things like curse effect etc

I would say dont trust pob too much in poe2

in poe1, you can trust it

[tulip lintel]

Yeah it kept telling me that an item that gives rage was BiS because endless rage isnt supported, so I had to add a custom mod to myself to generate rage

Ok thanks for the advice, I'll take it with a pinch of salt. Is the node power report a good way to choose a passive tree path, or should I manually plot out the nodes to go for and compare?

About the Muster Support Gem (https://pathofexile2.wiki.fextralife.com/Muster). Do different Skeletons (Like Warrior, cleric, Brute) count as different "Type" of Minions or are all Skeletons just one Type ?

[royal fern]

ok my blood mage build, just tweaked it, its chunking thru my HP, like 3 to 4 casts on my spell is draining me super low. do i just need a lot more HP? ive got life remanants, do i need a chunk load of HP regen?
only got 1500 HP, and it costs 324 life per spark cast ;o

sorry posted in wrong chanel and copy pasted lol

is there a keystone or ascendancy point i need, ive only got 4 points, (into spell crits), do i need right hand side tree and that will make it a lot better?

like is it just more HP, or is there critical thing im missing for healing more health when attacking

[brittle anvil]

more damage = more leech

try atziri acuity maybe

[fossil flame]

post your poe ninja for advice

can check things better

[royal fern]

can i link it here?

not very optimal for sure, i only just got some new items, and im lazy with jewels lol

[fossil flame]

missing a ton of campaign rewards for a start, and a soul tether with the right corruption will be a big leech/hp/survivability help

https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/Griggse38-3410/character/Mercifullo my setup (im not playing same build)

but still crit/BM

[uncut bay]

3 casts without life leech is a red flag for me, should be 2 casts at most if you have 2k life
you need +6 to skills on the staff, +3 on the amulet, +4 on the helmet, level 21 skill gems, body armour needs cost efficiency and more ES, staff needs one more gain mod more spell damage, gloves and boots should be rare and have as much ES as possible, belt should be soul tether without the lose % of ES per second mod, get campaign rewards and cap chaos resistance, I recommend at least 10k life+ES, get crit damage jewels, don't take pure power, potent incantation, ether flow on the passve tree, here is a good passive tree

[royal fern]

yeah ive got soul tether on my list, just pricey for the one im looking for, so gotta save up

thanks ill checkout that passive tree

[uncut bay]

this part is not worth the skill points, use the atziri chest to convert all of your mana cost to life cost instead of blood magic, do a conduit from nothing with a rare time-lost jewel setup on the tree, don't use heavy buffer, use a staff, get much more ES

[fossil flame]

budget issues atm, but yes thats the intention re blood magic, i melt t3 pinnacles etc anyway, but im a tiny bit squishy sometimes

[brittle anvil]

atziri only converts 50%, you need the blood magic helmet

[fossil flame]

there are the nodes near top left that are nearly another 50%

[uncut bay]

48% on the passives, 2-3% on the heart of the well if you need it

bloodmagic is very outdated, I have no idea why it's still used by anybody

[brittle anvil]

yeah these days I use MoM and lifetap

How goes POE2 Shadow Knight?

Tank, life steal, only do damage through summoning pets / necro magic.

POE 1 had this with summoner totems and endurance charge tanking

[mellow pike]

Quick question guys. Does this ring work with this staff? Since the skill technically fire projectiles down. I noticed projectile speed node ups the projectile speed of the skill.

[real zealot]

If you look at the tags on icestorm, you will see aoe, cold, duration, etc. Looks like projectiles isnt of the skill tags

[mellow pike]

Then when does this node effect projectile speed?

[real zealot]

Only when "projectiles" are in the target skill's tags

[mellow pike]

I understand what your saying but if I take this node off the projectile speed is at 13% with that node on it brings it up to 55

[real zealot]

I saw that. Someome made some kind of mistake somewhere. Idk if they meant for that to happen or not. Can you put projectile support gems on it?

[mellow pike]

Nope I can’t

Ty so much for the hep

Help

I’m making my own build from start and I want to see how I can get the most dps

Any site I can use?

That can show my DPS numbers

[real zealot]

Yes, there is path of building (pob). I only know of it, and dont use it, but you can do stuff like make a replica of a piece of gear and try it on to see what it does to your stats

Gear you might buy from the market for example

And test out passive changes, etc

[mellow pike]

Thank you will try that

[naive rover]

I dont know if I want fire damage or magnitude here for my ignite build

im triggering ignite with arc though

[wary wing]

Can tecrods gaze be removed from body armor without destroying it?

[cedar aspen]

Either 51% magnitude if you’re more ignite/ ailment focused.

Although 140% increased fire damage is huge considering you’re getting 53% as extra just in the staff alone

[pastel forge]

You can destroy the armour instead

[signal burrow]

How does “Default Attack Damage” work? Not talking about the skills you get by default like Spear Stab, but more for things like the Caltrops support. Does it calculate just a 1.0 attacks per second hit with your weapon, ignoring levels and stuff, or does it use the attack damage from the skill that the support is socketed into? Eg caltrops is 75% default attack dam, but does that number change if you socket it into a low lvl skill gem vs a higher one?

I don’t think so, Rakiatas is its own thing

[alpine turtle]

But it was added 0.2 patch or something right? I had a memory inverted res was a tree node at launch

might not been the case but

thanks!

[toxic beacon]

It was added in 0.3 iirc. I didn’t play 0.1 so I am not sure what the skill tree looked like back then.

[alpine turtle]

np

[brittle anvil]

nah nothing in the tree

there's a % chance to invert node that's added this league

[celest stag]

Does the level of the staff matter for Plant druid, or do you only care about the modifiers

[pastel forge]

we just have a 15% node on tree and nothing else

[pastel forge]

usually people want power sigil as the skill on staff

level of the staff matters less than ilvl which affects possible mods

[limpid talon]

Is there any link or material or something that could explain why coc comet is so overpowered? What I don't understand is how you scale the damage so much higher than other skills. With regular skills, your support gems buff damage and whatnot, but with coc the support gems are mainly helping with energy for the cast.

So where do you get so much scaling? On Poe ninja with a skill like ember fussilade I see highest DPS of around 3m, but comet easily goes above 100m. Also if you have two different elements, say your main or skill that triggers coc is lightning or chaos and you add comet on it, do you build for ice damage/skill levels or for your other element, or simply all damage or spell levels?

[brittle anvil]

comet has a very high base damage, with the cost of 1 second to cast speed, coc simply eleminates that downside

[mellow pike]

Checkout my build https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/profile/2f34aa1a-af6b-4aa6-bbcf-535722748298/builds/0574da2c-78f0-49cf-ab2f-285273198350

[limpid talon]

Ah so for example ice storm here has a max of 130 ISH damage while comet has a max of 1200. So the base damage difference itself is enough that just casting it enough times is more damage than other fully juiced spells? 🤔

[limpid talon]

So you're just focusing on casting it as often as possible, so you're looking for energy wherever you can get it

So if the spell you're using to trigger is of a different element than what kind of element damage would you want on your gear or tree after you get all the energy nodes?

[brittle anvil]

energy gain is just one part, you will trigger more if the skill that triggers it deals higher damage

[limpid talon]

Oh so if you deal high enough damage you can cast multiple comets or something? Like an overflow?

[brittle anvil]

going full on energy gain would have diminishing return

[brittle anvil]

I mean more damage = more energy, then it will be scaled with % energy gain

[limpid talon]

Oh I thought energy was based on how many times you crit

[brittle anvil]

yeah no crit is just a condition whether you gain energy or not

[limpid talon]

Oh so when you crit you gain energy but the energy you gain is based on how much damage you did

Okay I was mistaken about that part then 😅

[brittle anvil]

yup

[limpid talon]

So to take a more specific example so it's easier to understand:

I am currently working towards an ember fussilade build with black flame covenant because I thought it looks cool.

If I add coc comet onto it, I would want to use more orb support gems on EF, more energy support on coc and on the passive tree I'd want some energy gain. But apart from that would I pick ice damage nodes, chaos damage nodes or only spell damage nodes? And same question for + skill on gear

[mellow pike]

What do you mean?

[limpid talon]

Though I guess the intermediate step between EF and Coc comet is coa living bomb? To produce some fire infusions which should help the comet too?

[mellow pike]

Sorry new to this build thing

[brittle anvil]

wym "orb support"?

but usually you want the stats that scale both skills

[limpid talon]

Oh nothing, I was just thinking out loud to myself.. that the base damage on the comet skill gem is like 10 times higher than ice storm

[limpid talon]

As in the number of orbs EF generates. I think there's a support gem also that lets you generate more orbs at like 20% chance?

[limpid talon]

So you want +4 spell level on gear rather than +5 ice spell level or fire spell level? 🤔

[brittle anvil]

yeah

or trigger with ice spells :p

[limpid talon]

I know but the purple ember fussilade looks so cool 🤣

[brittle anvil]

maybe try the original sin ring? since ember is now dealing chaos damage, and you convert comet to chaos also, then you can add wither which is a huge multiplier for chaos damage, which will now scales both

just an idea tho idk how will it plays out :p

[limpid talon]

Oh I didn't know about that ring, I'll check it out!

[limpid talon]

Thanks for the help! I'll try it out on pob 🤣

[round pier]

any ideas in which build I can use this wand?

[limpid talon]

Oh that's an interesting idea.. I was thinking something like get a good rare ring or something and duplicate it with kalandras touch but so for the price of a ring slot with original sin you can just build all chaos damage bonus 🤔

Not sure if you'd still need black flame convenant or not. Since EF damage is chaos already from the ring, but I guess with that node all our chaos damage would trigger ignites and stuff for ailments if we use coa 🤔

And wither like you said 🤔

[brittle anvil]

I don't think the ring will give the visual effect of black flame :p

[limpid talon]

Spark blood mage coc comet? 🤣

[limpid talon]

Yeah so we would be picking black flame convenant for the chaos damage contributes to ignite. IF we still want ignites for coa, otherwise just the ring is enough 🤔

[limpid talon]

Oh but purple skills are cool so we do still need Black flame for the effect with the ring 🤣 🤣 🤣

does anyone know if its possible to run a skill gem while under the attribute req? lookin at a build and this guy pulls it off with hand of chayula/despair

https://poe.ninja/poe2/builds/vaal/character/heygyus-0416/ResurrectTwiceAgain?i=0&search=class%3DAmazon%26sort%3Dlevel

[fervent ember]

Which one is actually stronger? CoC Bloodmage or CoC Oracle?

[raw badge]

At a glance, it looks like a weapon swap set-up. The Chayula/Despair is assigned to set 2 which is this player's quarterstaff, so it's never active otherwise. If you see their passives, their set 2 points path towards the curse nodes in the upper part of the tree which has quite a few attribute nodes along the way, which should be enough to reach the Int requirements for Despair on swap.

If I'm wrong about anything or missed something, feel free to correct me.

But to directly answer the question, you can run skill gems even when you don't meet requirements, but they just can't be used or be active. That's where weapon swap and passives come into play.

https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/smsa2222-6932/character/Leysara

[uncut bay]

lvl 20 is 186 life lost per demon stack, it has nothing to do with your max life

you need the sacro chest and several thousands life worth of recoup per second for unlimited demon stacks

[uncut bay]

never heard of it

[late laurel]

Which stack with each other right?

[mellow coral]

Yes

[pastel forge]

the helmet that removes ele res and gives 40-50% hp

you are kinda forced to build armour to have any defense against ele though

[rancid cipher]

Does Essentia Sanguis Furtive Wraps work with the Amazon passive Mystic Harvest? I'm seeing some guides suggest this, but I found someone back in September saying that this combo doesn't work because "life leech modifiers don't affect energy shield leech".

[mellow coral]

I'm pretty sure this interaction works, but other life leech modifiers won't apply

It's all about where it converts in the calculation. I think Mystic harvest applies first, then essentia sangius, then any other life leech modifiers

You can always just give it a try and change plans if it doesn't work

It's important to remember that you won't get any leech at full HP. A way to solve this is taking/anointing the "fast metabolism" node to prevent leech from stopping when life is full

[rancid cipher]

Sadly a bit fresh out of the gates still so I was just planning my build ahead of time and kind of theory crafting a bit. I just got to end game and I'm trying to decide between an essentia sangius + Mystic Harvest + CI build or just doing Stalking Panther instead.

The leech sounds fun, just not sure how good it would be in practice. hah

People say it makes you more squishy to go the leech route, but I've seen some giant energy sheilds.

I dont understand how sacro helps with demonflame

[late laurel]

Do weapon mods for "Gain X% of Damage as Extra Damage of X" apply to all damage you deal or only damage dealt by that weapon? Same question for the Crit Damage Bonus and added flat damage socketables, are they local to the weapon only or apply to everything you do?

[hearty nexus]

It’s not merely local to the weapon like flat added damage or % increased physical damage would be. Instead, it sees the damage of the hit as a whole, which includes your weapon damage plus any other contributions to the hit, and calculates a percentage of that to add as extra damage.

[late laurel]

More specifically applying it to Thorns, but good to know that it does work

And that Flat doesn't

I'd assume CD on weapons works like CR does too where that's local?

[hearty nexus]

I believe so, yes

[late laurel]

Pretty good considering it's how you get HoI screenwipes

[cedar aspen]

Haven’t tried the tech that way yet but I have heard of it.

I guess I’m confused because its damage is based off of 30% of the default attack. So would that be the default attack of the skill it’s used on?

Example would be I use it on Resonating Shield, so to scale that higher I’d just have to use a better shield?

And then does any fire nodes on the tree or the skill itself scale it further considering it’s converted to fire damage?

[late laurel]

30% of attack, plus 30%ish of damage gained as Phys so HoI can break armour, which causes Armour Explosion, which causes HoI

[cedar aspen]

Ok thanks. So would gems like Ele Arm 2 and Fire Attunement on the same support scale Armour explosion further?

So I’d get 25% as extra fire on top of the explosion? Or that’s just included in the skill itself, not the support gems and their effects?

[fallen mica]

How’s ignited support stone work does it ignite without you having to use fire attacks ?

[static torrent]

Have you considered reading a reply to your question instead of repeatedly asking it in different channels? #2┃new-player-in-campaign-help message

[fallen mica]

Thanks !

[simple juniper]

Is anyone here doing doedre's undoing curse + cast on crit build? I could use some advice to reach close to 100% crit chance on spells

All good, found some issues with my brain, figured it out

[late laurel]

Can you Consume an ailment like Ignited if the Ignite is caused by something static, like Burning Ground/Flame Wall?

If so, what static effect causes the best Ignite damage, and if not, what spell causes the best the best ignited effect without a major qualifier like Glory

[static torrent]

You can, but you will make the enemy immune to that effect for 1 second on doing so.

[late laurel]

Hm, good to know, so if you can cast something faster than 1 second that'd be better

[near timber]

if a fire infused whirling slash applies damage to an enemy - could it leech from that hit?

[cobalt parcel]

Stormweaver flicker strike doable?

[late laurel]

Long as you have %Leech from attacks of whatever damage type is dealing damage, yes. And Whirling Slash deals Phys at base, infusing it just adds 50% damage as ele to it on top

[celest oxide]

Are any of these cultivations better than non cultivated?

Idk Presence Area might be comfy

But Ele Damage instead of that might go crazy or increased crit

[inland zealot]

yeah, probably if it would swap presence area with ele damage or crit

[celest oxide]

Yeah

Idk how uncomfy spite becomes without the presence

and sacred flame

surely you only need to actual;ly spite on single target and spearfield/hob clear the rest

[earnest idol]

which is better for ultra end game CoC- bloodmage or oracle

[mellow coral]

I played both and for me definitely bloodmage

Obviously depending on budget

[mossy harness]

how does weapon set 1 and weapon set 2

[mellow coral]

Are you asking how does that work?

[rancid cipher]

Is the attack from Wind Dancer considered melee?

[fallow nymph]

Is the recombinator always that low % chance?

[uncut bay]

obviously bloodmage

[rancid cipher]

Why does my mana recovery per second increase when I equip Lavianga's Spirit when it only restores mana every 2 seconds?

[mellow coral]

Do you have any increase to recovery?

Or increased effect of mana flask

[fallow nymph]

With the passive "Self immolation" does the enemy also get ingated

[ashen blaze]

Hey Folks, wanted to share my Flicker Strike/Whirling Assault Ritualist build with you....lmk what you all think on how I did

https://pobb.in/vTDzKaTRjwWE

Enjoy, Thx Chico!

[rancid cipher]

Yes I do, but even then wouldn't that still tick once every two seconds as the flask states?

[gentle shore]

why are you using elemental armament on whirling assault? your not using cast on ailment. wouldn't rapid attacks would do better or maybe heft?

[neon gyro]

it said recover over 2s so it can be 1s tick not strictly every 2s, as long as the amount is the same

[celest oxide]

Do Sacrifical Regalia give +1 to levels to skills that come from a corrupted item?\

So would a corrupted Atziri's Contempt get +1 on shattering spite from Sacrificial Regalia?

[inland zealot]

does the skill show it is corrupted, like this example

[celest oxide]

I'll test

Don't have the weapon yet because if I need it corrupted was prolly gonna buy corrupted

[inland zealot]

if it does then it should work , in theory

you can probably just buy a really cheap non corrupted just to do it yourself for the test

[celest oxide]

yeah

level 78 ones are prolly cheap

level 90 are not

lmao

[late laurel]

What's the best way to proc Ignite via CoC? Currently I'm using Living Bomb but it doesn't appear to quite proc it often enough

Specifically I mean from Fire Spells cuz I'm on Blackflame Covenant

[ashen blaze]

swap'd it for heft great call 🙂 thx for that

[gentle shore]

did it increase dps?

[gentle shore]

did you look at any of the other supports?

@ashen blaze how much spirit does the build have?

if it has an extra 30 spirit you can run mana remnants with it dpending on if you run out of mana fast. if not you could use clarity on a skill thats always active

[ashen blaze]

I just looked through them it seems flush on rest, i right now have 9 left out of 267 total spirit
I'm good on mana no issues there

[ashen blaze]

ended up goiong with rapid 2 over heft no increase on dps tooltip BUT...there is a noticable difference in charge gen with Whirl for the mantra now

[gentle shore]

rapid attack is pretty good, there should be another support gem that can increase your AOE that would hit more monsters

nvm, you're already using it

[runic spade]

Has anyone done testing with inevitable agony and doedres with imp doom? I'm running a build with that setup and Iim wondering if the interaction event takes into account inevitable agony damage at the end since its constantly expiring the curse
My thought is that agony applies, doedres procs ( does agony proc here before reapplying?), reapplies agony for 3 seconds, then imp doom procs, and agony finishes, but I don't know how I can tell if its interacting as such.

[round pier]

are there any ways to spawn enemy I can attack?

[hearty nexus]

https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/g8vi0l31

So, I've been working on a Deadeye Herald build the last week or so. Its not complete yet, if anyone would like to check it out and give some feedback. What could be changed, what skills could be more beneficial to the build. Etc..

[proven stratus]

I’m doing my first SSF run, and I realize that I need the Call of the Brotherhood unique ring. What is the best way to farm this? Should I go back to Act 3, or does the drop rate improve in maps?

[tranquil wagon]

guys i need to fix this thing if you can help >> my main weapon is wand ok but i have skill needs staf when i use that skill my weapon stack with staff not wand how can i lock the main weapon on wand is this possible?

[minor tree]

For anyone who tried the oil grenade + incinerate build, sometimes I lose the compound effect and I think it's due to headhunter copying effects like fire trails, has anyone experienced the same?

If it's really HH I'll just switch off it

[woeful sparrow]

What's another fun zoom build? Something that I can use my temporalis with? Or should I try something like LA or Ice shot with a mirror bow and proj nova? It needs to be FAST

[pastel forge]

pretty sure this was mentioned in jungroan's video yes

[late laurel]

So if you start refreshing the Wellsprites it breaks the "sequence" for the More Damage right?

[tired hornet]

Been playing the Incinerate + Oil grenade build on SSF (Titan) for a few days, and I was wondering whether spell levels or projectile levels scale the ignite more? Because it seems +6 spell levels really outshine the Searing Touch unique, so I was thinking perhaps +spell levels on amulet could be a good or better option than projectile?

[late laurel]

Can Ball Lightning shotgun with Multishot etc?

[tribal goblet]

For Valako's charge - the damage you take, if you have energy shield, will it count towards building up the strike/trigger?
or does it have to damage your actual life pool?

[uncut bay]

pounce, oil grenade, lightning arrow, lightning spear, comet spark, explosive shot

[uncut bay]

you open the skill and assign it to the weaponset where the wand is

[uncut bay]

look at the ilevel then gamble in the right act, right character level

[uncut bay]

rings need much more flat damage, other items need much more ES and evasion, LA arnament and deliberation are fine, I dont like other supports
the bow needs much higher crit chance and damage, you need more arrows, take movement speed on the tree

[woeful sparrow]

My most completed character is Spark CoC, but yes was thinking of Pounce. LA too altho doesn't use tempolaris its probably still nice to play with proj nova inside temple

[rancid cipher]

"Gain additional Ailment Threshold equal to 13% of maximum Energy Shield"

For someone using CI with 4-5k energy shield, how much is this going to help with my character getting frozen?

[toxic beacon]

CI is basically unplayable without that stat

13% should be enough

[solid acorn]

how ppl use soul offering if they dont have minion skills? since soul offering need to sacrifice 1 minion right?

[craggy latch]

guys are there any generic node that change a portion of physical to some element damage? i wanna use it to tricker charm

[halcyon hazel]

Sometimes ppl make weird stuffs. I saw lot of ppl using Hayoxi on Wind Dancer 😐 I dont know why xD

[hybrid ocean]

Go to more information for the skills you want to use with the wand, and remove the check mark from where it says "weapon set II"

I'll post a screenshot once I get out of loading screen hell

[drifting apex]

This is probably obvious when you know it, but could someone help me see why builds like this use fast metabolism (anointed)? I guess there's a conversion of life leech to energy shield somewhere, but i cannot find it... And no soul tether involved. https://poe.ninja/poe2/builds/vaal/character/xXImSoloXx-6542/Frajdej

[vernal quiver]

does anyone know a good build to run for act 4

[late laurel]

I mean that depends on the build you're gonna end up as, so you can respec into it once you get whatever requirements for it

Pretty much any build can beat Acts

Except builds that literally require stuff only in the Epilogues

[vernal quiver]

im running a mjinor sheild build and can't figure out a good build for early game

[late laurel]

I mean when in doubt Shield Wall

[gusty timber]

blackflame incinerate, with contagion and brutus brain + unearth

[late laurel]

What's the highest single target DPS Lightning spell

[cedar aspen]

Got an update for poe2 on my console. Anything in particular?

[rancid cipher]

I was hoping someone may be able to help me with an issue. I'm running Essentia Sanguis with the Amazon passive Mystic Harvest, but I feel like I'm not getting energy shield leech. Is it not instant? I'm not running Fast Metabolism, but I've read that it's not needed with Essentia Sanguis. I'm confused. 🙁

[brittle anvil]

do you have a source of leech?

[devout valve]

I’m getting overwhelmed trying to figure out what to play and do

Give me something super broken please I want to have an easy life from start to finish

[normal pumice]

Got a question on Ice Crystals (Frozen Locus, Frost Wall etc) does Crystal Life increase their explosion damage or not?

[rancid cipher]

I do, on both rings.

[uncut bay]

witchhunter oil grenade

[uncut bay]

you need good damage, thats it

[uncut bay]

good question, 100% spark

[pastel forge]

Which skill you trying to leech with btw

[fallow nymph]

I'm trying to make a fire demon witch and I have to choose to go with a staff or wand + focus.

I like visually and the idea of staff much more... but stats wise it seems like wand + focus might be better.

Am I missing something?

[pastel forge]

I mean you can get more overall stats with wand focus but it's also likely costing you more

[fallow nymph]

Currency is usually not a big issue since I craft most thing myself. I think i just wish staves would be dmg wise better. While wand + foucs would be a bit less dmg but more defensive... at least it's how i feel that was the intention

[sullen yew]

I need to figure out how to correctly search for a good withered wand and focus for my contagion+ED witch

[toxic beacon]

What stats do you want for the wand?

Some spell/chaos damage, chaos spell levels and gain damage as?

[near pasture]

Hey, noob question, but are all Exceptional Items tier 5?

And basically, any craft you do has higher chance for better tier mods?

[slow hull]

exceptionanl items can drop white, the tier system in poe2 means they have a higher tier mod.

[near pasture]

So, they never go hand in hand?

[slow hull]

on exceptional bases, it doesnt mean u ahve a higher chance at higher tier mods unfortunately

it just means they have dropped with a higher tier mod, make sense?

[near pasture]

Ok, only a higher chance

Got it

[slow hull]

wait

[near pasture]

The higher tier mod is kinda confusing me

[slow hull]

want to make sure u understand

ill say it better

[near pasture]

Ok

They can still roll shit, but less likely to

[slow hull]

while crafting on a regular item or an exceptional item you have the same chance at higher tier mods

if an item drops with TIER behind it, it has dropped with a higher tier mod

but then crafting on that item that dropped with tier behind it, you have same chance on rolling any tier mod as any other item

does that make sense?

[near pasture]

WITH a higher tier mod. Gotcha

[slow hull]

its confusing lmao

[near pasture]

So, they can still roll a t12 mod lol

FUCK, that’s a lot of crafting. No wonder I’m not getting all t1 and t2 mods on my items lol

[slow hull]

well depends on what currency you use xD

[near pasture]

Then perfect currency gives you guaranteed higher tiered mods??

[slow hull]

its based off of ilvl OF the mod...

but in a general sense, teh answer is mostly yes

[near pasture]

Ok

Wow. Lots of factors

So, what’s the max lvl for an item, 82?

[slow hull]

82 is the highest lvl of mods (like for movement speed 35%)

items can drop lvl 86

[slow hull]

accept my dm ill help you more

[near pasture]

Okay

[celest stag]

Is there any staff builds that use burning flamability well? Idk if Napalm wolves works because idk if they get the benefit of the staff

Just trying to use this

[toxic current]

I never got that far into endgame, and I never played a Deadeye, so I am puzzled about how to finish this build with a good bow. Could someone help me making a decision for buying a better bow? This is my build, pretty normal Ice Shot Deadeye, leaning into crit right now. (https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/Zakimbo-1022/character/Rakhvani). I was planning to spend like 300 divs, having 5% to crit chance, but what else would be important? just surpassing chance, +levels to projectile / attack skills, sort for highest damage and pick?

[fervent ember]

How does Uhtreds Augury work now? Put it in CoC with 2 comets and 2 other supports. Doesn't do anything. With one other support the same.

[naive rover]

Any infernalist chads here? I feel like I need to replace my body armour with sacrosanctum but I lose so much in the process. No more heavy ammunition, great defenses, +1 to corrupted gems, regen…

https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/smsa2222-6932/character/Leysara

[late laurel]

Try 1 Comet and 1 Support, Comet itself might count as a Support for CoC

[eternal laurel]

So I'm thinking of playing around with archon buffs as they look interesting for my build ... but I don't understand them at all. I know they're supposed to be conditional, but how do I know what the exact triggers are? I tried reading up on it, but I can find hardly any information explaining the mechanic. Could someone refer me to a good resource or briefly explain? Thank you in advance! (context: I'm looking into it for my discipline that already has a Conduit From Nothing, so I'm already in that area)

[static torrent]

Generally, the source for the Elemental Archon will explain how it is activated, like the Notables on the tree do.

[eternal laurel]

@static torrent thanks! I think I understand now, but it was pretty confusing. There's notables that are essentially "addon buffs" but are dependent on an actual archon buff to be triggered, is that correct? E.g.: around Conduit you have "Energising Archon", which isn't actually an archon buff in itself, it's an additional buff effect upon triggering elemental archon.

So, in turns of triggering elemental archon, I can either path to it on the passive tree, anoint my amu or arbiter's lineage support? I haven't seen any other ways to achieving it

[static torrent]

I grabbed these from poe2db, but you can see the same thing if you check the respective notables on your tree.

And yes, stuff buffing the Elemental Archon requires something to actually trigger the buff in the first place. If you don't have something to proc the buff, anything modifying it or the recovery period will do nothing.

As far as ways to trigger it, the only 4 to show up on poe2db are the following. I wouldn't know if there are more, I spent most of my time in 0.4 just playing Disciple of Varashta xd

[eternal laurel]

It's what I'm playing and I have a From Nothing Conduit jewel, so I was interested in the energy shield buff

Speccing into that costs me 1 talent point, so cheap, but then I guess I need to sacrifice either a support gem or anoint to trigger it

Which page did you find what's on the first screenshots? I was literally looking at poe2db for several minutes before asking, and I'm even looking now, and I still haven't found that exact page lol. I did find the page for what's on the second screenshot

[static torrent]

https://poe2db.tw/us/passive-skill-tree/

[eternal laurel]

Lol, ok, just the passive tree. That makes sense I guess 😂

Thx, I think I'll play around with it to see if it works for the build 🙂

[vivid dagger]

which one would be better for CoC comet build?

[naive rover]

Probably number 2 but I have no idea how spell damage and damage as extra damage work

They clearly don’t scale the same

[slender jolt]

What did people league start Titan as? Was trying to play a semi classic warrior build but I see they’re all basically Bear builds and if I wanted Bear I’d go Druid or something unless I’m misunderstanding the way Bear form works I haven’t played since Amazon release

Like are you full time bear form or do bear skills just compliment whatever main skill you have?

[celest oxide]

Mace Slams is pretty crazy too

idk about league start

or any of the tech behind it

[woven depot]

Shieldwall fortifying cry titan is lowkey the league starter, incredibly intuitive and easy to scale

[cedar aspen]

Does Magma Barrier count as “Hitting” and enemy, considering in the tooltip it doesn’t say anything about hitting, just that it activates once you’ve BEEN hit by an enemy while blocking?

I wanted to use Searing Flame and thought that the 30% less hit would be negated because it wouldn’t count as a “Hit”, right?

[uncut bay]

tactician has this passive, if I made a tactician bear rampage build would it be feasable to make herald of ice work without the polci ring? would I have to collect a lot of cold damage and freeze buildup? is it better to just use the ring instead anyway?

[mossy harness]

Wondering how the kalgur jewel works? Is it similar to poe1 where changes nodes to different things?

[pastel forge]

Heroic tragedy? They change all notables in range

[north heart]

Uhh how does reverse chill work? Can I do this immediately?

[celest stag]

Does anyone know any builds that use staff and revolve around fire spells/ignite

[rapid moat]

how do i build for giants blood

[brittle anvil]

yesn't

do you have the items?

are you chilling enemies?

[north heart]

Someone already answered but thx

[signal burrow]

So trying to out coc comet together on my pathfinder why can't I get it to rain comets or even one comet lol

I may be missing some or overlooking

[brittle anvil]

spend a few mirrors and it will

[signal burrow]

Lol for real why ain't I seeing comets fall?

[brittle anvil]

idk

you have told nothing about your build

[signal burrow]

What would you need to know? I've got comet socketed into coc and using spark to generate it

[brittle anvil]

spark crit chance

spark dps

or... just post your pob

[signal burrow]

https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/AncientOne-7752/character/Arinnian i did just start putting it together but need to do more look into it

[brittle anvil]

yeah... you need to spend much more

[signal burrow]

How much dps do i need with spark

[brittle anvil]

I would say 30k

[signal burrow]

Oh....lol

[brittle anvil]

imagine an exponential curve, more damage means more comets

[signal burrow]

But I thought just criting would trigger comets?

[brittle anvil]

nope

[signal burrow]

Yea i just seen where I misread

[brittle anvil]

the amount of energy gained is based on the damage of spark

[signal burrow]

Sorry lol and thank you

[fallow nymph]

If you comebine flame wall (skill) + fotress (gem) it makes the flame wall in a circle around you? Or in front of you?

[uncut bay]

I can't decide between tactician and kitava for a bear rampage build, which ascendancy would be tankier? I wanna stack armour, tactician has lots of deflect, kitava has 100% of armour applies to chaos damage and such...

[late laurel]

Is Spark still the best ST Lightning spell even when you have low Duration? This is my current setup with it and I feel like my damage should be better (Oracle)

64% Reduced duration on the tree so

[zinc parcel]

hi I have problem with my flicker strike attack because when i use it it only hits on single enemy, how to make flicker hit many enemies in a row?

[late laurel]

Gotta get splash, either via the passive on the Warrior side of the tree or via gear/gems

[zinc parcel]

what is splash? sry im new to builds

[ionic canopy]

Hi, I'd like to make a bleed focused build and I'm thinking between Cold Bow BM, Atziri Contempt BM, Spearfield/Rake Amazon and Siege Cascade Tactician; which would be the best for bleeds while being decently tanky?

[late laurel]

Makes Strikes hit in an AoE around the target hit

Small AoE baseline, but still super useful

[uncut bay]

those BM builds are squishy

[uncut bay]

sadly yeah, nothing compares to spark imo

[ionic canopy]

Thanks mate

[vast turtle]

hey friends, can someone give me advice on a ritualist build? the idea is to be able to clear a fully juiced temple fast
im thinking about LA with nova projectiles like in 0.3, but im not sure if the damage will be enough
my budget is only 3k div

[late laurel]

"Only"

[vast turtle]

i mean thats like monopoly money this league 😄

[late laurel]

Way more money than necessary to make anything but the most obscure, niche, horrendous build work

Or like Temporalis shit

[vast turtle]

yeah fair, but i have a fully juiced temple and the monsters are real tough

[late laurel]

Not Ritualist but I've honestly been loving His Scattering Calamity, it's got pretty dang great clear

Basically autobomber

[vast turtle]

do you have a link?

[late laurel]

Just to my own character for it

I don't really do build guides and I'm not really one for doing crazy insane bullshit

I fucking loathe Headhunter

https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/Brakmek-2387/character/Spiriroracle

[vast turtle]

i will check it out, ty

[celest oxide]

Blood Mage Spears is so based

clearing with Lightning Spear instead of dumb spearfield

then melt bosses with Shattering Spite + Spearfield since LS normally struggles there

[late laurel]

Can you hit 0 Duration outside of Titan?

[toxic beacon]

Didn’t they remove 0 duration from titan too?

[late laurel]

Thought it still worked, cuz DarthMicro still has the 18k Life build that uses it no?

[toxic beacon]

Ok, I thought it was removed since they removed 1 duration node on the tree right after someone posted about a 0 duration build.

[late laurel]

I could be wrong, who knows

[toxic beacon]

Anyway, if it still works I think you need titan for sure

[signal burrow]

So since a pathfinder can't get forced outcome notable because of ascendancy what would be my best option?

[late laurel]

Crit's easier to get on that side of the tree, and proj

[signal burrow]

So just stack alot of crit then basically

[late laurel]

As with any crit build yeah, and I will say Tecrod's Undying Hate is also like basically required if you're doing Life costs

You could not go Life costs if you go with a lower damage mod on Unborn Lich

[signal burrow]

Well 300d last I checked is a bit impossible for me lmfao but I was looking at that

[late laurel]

Not 300

Mine was like 17 a couple days ago

Fairly cheap

[signal burrow]

Well bet ty

[late laurel]

But again you could juts not go Life costs

[signal burrow]

I think i was looking at the wrong one

[late laurel]

A lot of the nodes for Life Costs are on the Druid slice so it's far from required

[signal burrow]

Reaching druids side isnt to difficult

[late laurel]

You could instead go for Unholy Might for a Chaos split or Ele Dmg instead

Straight Ele should serve you just as well

Less to juggle as well

[signal burrow]

Well if I understand that wouldn't plaguefinder also benefit that mix?

[late laurel]

Yes, though the individual hits may not be big enough to benefit from the Poison

And for Spell Poison in particular, Oracle has the most support

Though if you wanna get real spicy you could run His Foul Emergence for poison instead

Long cooldown but biiig nuke, plus it's already Phys and Chaos so no need for Plaguefinger (except Poison chance ig)

So if you get the Cooldown low and AoE high it's just pow pow pow

[signal burrow]

Whats the foul emergence ?

[late laurel]

So Unborn Lich is an Abyss Unique that you reveal 4 Desecrated mods on. The first mod always gives you one of five skills, each focusing on a different damage type

His Foul Emergence being the Chaos one

https://poe2db.tw/us/His_Foul_Emergence

It's got 15% base crit rate as well so it's prime crit build material if you cna get the CD down

[signal burrow]

Wow thank you actually I've never even seen that staff

[late laurel]

It's pretty cool but since you can't get +Levels on it and it's all Spells it's very underutilized

Also you may wanna refresh the poeninja I sent earlier cuz I did change some stuff out cuz I hit 90

30k tooltip DPS damage spike from it

[signal burrow]

Oh nice lol my spark is at 4k rn

[late laurel]

0.6% of people on poeninja are using the staff

Most of them using His Scattering Calamity, and after having tried Winnowing Flame I get why only 5 people are running that one

[signal burrow]

So is your build almost a reverse coc comet?

With the his scattering calamities

[late laurel]

I mean it's kinda just what it says on the tin

Walk around and click every now and then

His Scattering Calamity stores up shots thanks to Sione's

[signal burrow]

Thats neat

[late laurel]

Lemme film a run

[signal burrow]

Sweet

I was kinda doing similar to the scattering calamity I was using spellslinger with spark equiped so when it buildt up I could release more sparks lol to help damage proc

[devout valve]

What’s a good low button pressing build for my wife who forgets to use her abilities

[late laurel]

Funny enough, His Scattering Calamity

One-click pretty much

[devout valve]

Which one is that this is my first league since release and I never played poe1

Thank to btw

[late laurel]

See above, from The Unborn Lich unique staff. Few different ways to build it, goes on a lot of different Ascendancies. I prefer Oracle for the autocrits proccing Cast on Crit

Assuming already at endgame level since that's required to run it

If you want something that's one-button but all game long, I'm too indecisive for that lol

Pretty much anything on Cast on Crit works tho, if you're Oracle

[late laurel]

Here's T3 Xesht

It's not a complete and total destroyer but it's fun, gets the job more than done

For true "end of build" I'd need an amulet with +3 and Spirit so I can run a Covenant

[devout valve]

Nah just starting from act 1 for her

[cedar aspen]

Has anyone had good experience with lightning spells?

I’m thinking of mix and matching some lightning and fire spells with a Druid build I’m doing but curious to know what lightning spells are good. Doesn’t matter if they use infusions because I can incorporate that into the build. Right now I’m running living bomb, incinerate, thunderstorm and volcano

[late laurel]

When in doubt, Spark

[vernal quiver]

whats the best lighting skill to run with thundergods wrath?

lightning

[cinder plank]

is there a way to easily apply chill to mobs? i wanna do empowered frost darts. i have heard extra cold damage can cause chill/freeze. with enough extra cold, can it bypass cannot inflict chill of frost darts?

[rancid cipher]

Does freeze benefit from magnitude?

[uncut bay]

tactician: does his passive gain 20% of armour as deflect benefit from the passive defend with 200% of armour??

[late laurel]

Chill does

[static dawn]

How does Rakiata's Flow interact with Exposure and Elemental Weakness? I'd assume that pushing elemental resistances of enemies to negative will cause Rakiata to flip that to positive, but where does Exposure come into play?

[static torrent]

Exposure and Elemental Weakness reduce the Resistance of the enemy, so it'd occur prior to Rakiata's Flow inverting Resistances. Something like Penetration would apply after, though obviously if you reduce a Resistance below 0%, Penetration won't do anything by default.

[static dawn]

So if I have Rakiata, best not to mess with mosnter resistances then?
