[bronze dirge]

Yooo

[tight kiln]

oh

ghazzy has a broken minion build lmao

[blissful plume]

What's he using?

[tight kiln]

arsonist

[tight kiln]

[spiral yew]

man everyone running minion

[tight kiln]

nerfed

[gleaming palm]

hmm 500kb+ update KEKW

[blissful plume]

Instant nerf kekw

[gleaming palm]

my 1st unique

[tight oak]

So I got archmage

My sparks tooltip damage before turning it on was around 1600-1700

I turned it on, instant 1k+ dps increase

I killed the a3 boss ||that gives you perma fire res|| on cruel in actually 8 seconds

[bronze dirge]

What minions are you using?
Looks fun

[tight kiln]

skeleton arsonist + srs

[copper mortar]

[spiral yew]

she already brace herself, but not enough

[blissful plume]

I hope they continue making poe1 as difficult as poe2 since they haven't mentioned anything about stopping since the split

[tight oak]

The difficulty in poe 2 is weird

I like the bosses more than 1 overall but some are hot ass

The boss in the Sanctum area in a3 has obscene tracking and slam radius

And even then most bosses are less dangerous than some of the literal trash mobs

Not being able to beat the a1 boss is a massive skill issue, though

[tight kiln]

blackjaw?

i died like 8 times in blackjaw because of the fucking tracking

[gleaming palm]

ikr LOL

me around 9 or 10 times died from blackjaw...

[spiral yew]

staff doesnt contrubute to spell dmg for sorc right ?

aside the basic spell that come with the staff

since spell lvl and stuff

[blissful plume]

The ice spell is powerful with shotgun

[pale atlas]

playing merc is making me live the american dream

"man, all these monsters, can't I just shoot them"

[hot kraken]

im still confused why such important quest to get Ascen class is hidden in the game

to trigger the Q, u have to deal with the boss in Traitor's Passage

if a player doesnt know ascen exists behind that boss, they may skip it entirely and miss the ascen

[spiral yew]

i thought there will be a quest that lead you to the boss

but no

i discovered it when i go back and want to clear the map

also how to start a2 and a3 ?

[blissful plume]

Did u not go back to town and talk to deckard cain?

[blissful plume]

Is the boss not highlighted with an icon on the map like all the other bosses?

[spiral yew]

who ?

[tight kiln]

https://youtu.be/g_NP0GvZ5A8?si=wVbnGYj7aoK8ConA

[spiral yew]

omg the mini sun inside the pyramid literally burning my gpu and kick the fan to 100%

[blissful plume]

So melee is busted

Time for the inevitable nerf

[tight kiln]

someone didnt check twitter

[blissful plume]

I don't follow poe on twitter

[dusk karma]

The skill issue from the Onemanaleft dude is staggering

The contrast between him and Alkaizer is incredible

2 people dying by perfectly avoidable causes followed by a dude going "Yeah, i have this defense called 'don't get hit'"

🤌 exquisite

[gleaming palm]

now i am stuck on that viper boss...

[blissful plume]

The viper boss is just torchlight infinite's clockwork boss

[pale atlas]

Dunno about other characters but merc has this recovery delay after shooting bolts

Made my battle with act 1 boss harder, like I was too fat lol

A bit of git gud, finding new boots, and all is well

[spiral yew]

wooo

[gleaming palm]

ok now to act 1 cruel >,<

[spiral yew]

gotta get back to act3 and complete the side quest there

but that's for tmr, chill time now

[gleaming palm]

the core right?

[spiral yew]

yea core and idol

[gleaming palm]

idol just sell to oswald

but core i couldnt find

[spiral yew]

oh

[gleaming palm]

despite explored the whole map

[spiral yew]

that map is a pain to run around, mob hit like a truck and can teleport

[gleaming palm]

so far the titan and the tools are bugged right?

[spiral yew]

titan work for me i think ?

[gleaming palm]

eh

[spiral yew]

the one you find 2 idol right ?

and bring them together

[gleaming palm]

tthat 1 works

[spiral yew]

oh

[gleaming palm]

this in A2

[spiral yew]

oh i havent found it too

[gleaming palm]

so far act 1 final boss gave me the most trouble KEKW

oh

[fluid timber]

high velocity rounds on merc shreds everything

[gleaming palm]

cant go back to that area...

wtf

[spiral yew]

which area ?

[gleaming palm]

the past

go past portal brings to cruel A1

[spiral yew]

if you're at cruel A1, you will see act 3 map from the past, it use the flooded act 3 map tho, but the name is from the past map

try tele straight from cruel

dont know if it work btw
i think that how it go

[gleaming palm]

good thing i am a witchhunter LOL

decimating strike + culling

just need to do like 60 to 70% of their total health LOL

ah ok

got it

thanks

back to that map

[spiral yew]

they forgor to give us a button to swap around

[gleaming palm]

do tell me where to find the core XD

[spiral yew]

kinda hard since map randomize

[gleaming palm]

finally got my 1st divine

[viscid fulcrum]

finally made it to act 4

[tight kiln]

wtf

Path of Exile (@pathofexile) on X

Currently, it's a bit too easy to detonate Gas Cloud explosions when combined with persistent Ignite skills like Flame Wall. We'll be adjusting the explosion damage of both Gas Grenade and Gas Arrow for now in an upcoming hotfix.

In the future, we want to update it such that the

[blissful plume]

rip ben

[spiral yew]

[fluid timber]

I wasn't sure if I would enjoy the difficulty, but I already put 15 hours in over two days. I think I have a new addiction

Mercenary plays like I how I always wanted a gun-based ARPG to be like, it's great

[pale atlas]

noooo

although tbf I'm currently using explosive bolts for it, which probably is the intended gameplay

there was a unique helmet that had constant ignite

https://pathofexile2.wiki.fextralife.com/Radiant+Grief+Lace+Hood this one

[bronze dirge]

My friend has been running his chayula gas arrow with flame wall
Rude way to wake up

Tbf he knew it was coming
It looks pretty unintended

[tight oak]

aight, hit lvl 70 and i'm good on poe 2

imma be real, game feels miserable to play after the campaign

[blissful plume]

look on the bright side, poe1 will eventually reach the same level of difficulty as poe2 just with rebalances and no nerfs

[tight oak]

well it's like

i don't even feel like poe 2 has real difficulty so much as it has a lot of gimmicks and stat checks

on floor 3 of the sekhema trial, it has awful layouts that are unclear on where you're allowed to walk and 1-entity wide chokepoints

it has enemies that appear from underground already swinging at you

[blissful plume]

You can fall to your death?

[tight oak]

when i say unclear on where you're allowed to walk i mean

that a part of the floor looks like you can walk on it, but it's actually an invisible wall

but there are innate pits that slow you

also the enemies you have to kill to cancel the ritual are on elevated ground with 2 1-wide chokepoints

and they infinitely spawn white mobs that are 3x as tanky as floor 2's enemies

the mobs also can poison or bleed you

for some ungodly reason the poison/bleed/ignite/etc do full damage to your Honour regardless of your resistances/armor

like i got ignited and lost maybe 60 energy shield to a white mob

but i lost 400-500 honour to it

[blissful plume]

Isn't that the same as sanctum?

Your defenses don't matter

[tight oak]

your defenses do matter in sanctum

but you also don't lose nearly as much resolve in sanctum

[blissful plume]

Only after sanctum league

Sanctum league defenses did not matter

[tight oak]

regardless, you still lose way more in poe 2 than poe 1

[blissful plume]

Any hit will go thru honour unmitigated during sanctum league

[tight oak]

okay yes you're right thank you for focusing on one thing i said

[blissful plume]

I mean figuring out when they started using sanctum for trials is a start for knowing whether to expect any of qol from poe1 to carry over and it looks like none got carried over

[tight oak]

maximum honour is based off of your life pool and potentially energy shield pool

and yet for some reason enemies on floor 3 drain more honour from you per hit than the floor 2 boss does

honour resistance didn't even feel like it actually did anything to mitigate the loss

definitely feels like the devs intended for you to freeze or stun your way through the game

and if you don't have either, just have gorilla damage or defenses

[spiral yew]

i got from a monster drop

now where that fortunes drop

[tight kiln]

maps is so bad.

bro campaign has more drops than maps

tier 4 boss btw

they 100% didnt test end game drop[

ben did hardcore act to maps in 11hrs

[tight oak]

theres a map that is quite literally

a bridge to a door chokepoint

on repeat for the whole way through

[tight kiln]

i have no dps to do ritual

because nothing drops

[tight oak]

i have the dps to do ritual

but half the ritual altars have brick mods

i.e. tornado of rats is faster than my walking speed while casting

so eventually i have to roll it or stop casting and when i do i get swarmed

[tight kiln]

ye

LOL

[fluid timber]

This is reinforcing my thought that I’ll focus on just acts until full release probably because I kinda assumed endgame would be kinda stapled on and incomplete

[tight kiln]

early on i got one tapped from 1.5k mana and 1.5k hp MoM

[tight oak]

acts was good

vendors generally had solid gear every few levels

only few bad parts about acts was that it was kinda unclear where your permanent upgrades were

not the +skills or +resists but like the medallion choice in act 2

act 3 town is probably the worst town i've ever had the displeasure of being in, and i played diablo 2

and some bosses need to be finetuned so that they're less "i do nothing until i do one HP-gated attack that 1 shots you" and more an actual enemy

and ofc zones being made for poe 1, a game that has high movement speed, movement skills, and fast clears instead of poe 2

dreadnought actually too damn long

[fluid timber]

I do like some of the boss challenge though they could benefit from adjustments to some of the attack areas. Like the act 1 boss with the telegraphing of it even I found it tricky to be able to move quick enough to avoid the slam attack due to the aoe size

[tight oak]

oh yeah some of the slams are legitimately too big

dodge roll is actually just so bad lol

[tight kiln]

no the tracking on some of these bosses is insane

im gonna try pushing on to see how the later parts of maps is

[tight oak]

it is also kinda stupid that for a lot of the attacks

the default attack outdpses them lol

[tight kiln]

only for monk i think

[tight oak]

nah my mercenary friends complained for a while that crossbow has the same issue for the early game

[tight kiln]

Reduced the Damage of Supercharged Slam by approximately 60% overall (at maximum stages). This skill was unfortunately dealing far too much damage than intended given the short channel window required to hit maximum stages. The damage display text of this skill will be incorrect until we later do a client patch.

Reduced the damage of Magnetic Salvos explosions by approximately by 40%

[fluid timber]

Yep, I was using the basic bolts on my merc until I got high velocity rounds. The frost bolts are good for freezing crowds but you are so desperate for flat damage in early game that it doesn’t help much.

[covert frigate]

i hate the mist attack of that boss so much

the adds it sunmmon can just push you into around and you cant move

[fluid timber]

The mist part actually allowed me to charge up my healing potion easily. My galvanized rounds shredded through the adds, and I figured out his dashes are timed to happen at a pause after each sentence he speaks that if timed right your roll iframes through.

[covert frigate]

yeh i ended up just iframing the charges instead of trying to avoid it

but i was playing sorc and i didnt have good add clearing yet

so they were a real danger

but other than that one move i didnt have much trouble with the other moves

[fluid timber]

If it’s not supposed to be dodged that way then something’s wrong, because his tracking with the charges is too aggressive otherwise

[covert frigate]

it was a fun fight except for that

if he didnt spawn adds, or spawn few enough adds that you can still move around the arena, then you can avoid the charges without iframes

but with so many adds, yeh, you just have to iframe

[fluid timber]

Part of me thinks the bosses are intentionally overtuned anyways just to test difficulty thresholds out and to make it so people can’t just blow through the current EA content too fast, but we’ll see

[covert frigate]

i dont think the bosses are overtuned, its just that one move thats very annoying

[fluid timber]

It’s kinda funny when you think about it that the regular boss fights are a difficulty you would expect from pinnacle bosses in other arpgs

[covert frigate]

i dont play much arpgs, so idk how the difficulty compares

but i played a bit of POE1, and i remember most bosses dont require you to actually be aware of every single moves, or require tight finese movements to survive

like i remember the beast heart has that?

but here everyone requires you to learn the moveset

which i do enjoy

[fluid timber]

The only boss fight that compares in Diablo 4 is basically tormented Lilith. Every regular boss can be absolutely facetanked and the other tormented versions of bosses with some good gear can be sleepwalked.

[covert frigate]

the djinn side boss here even has puzzle mechanics lmao

[fluid timber]

Last Epoch has a few bosses near the end of the campaign this hard and the endgame bosses can kick your head in if not watching out for a couple key moves, but are otherwise gear checks

Yea the djinn boss was cool

[covert frigate]

it was MMO tier puzzle mechanic, i had to stop attacking and observe the boss to actually figure out how to solve it

[fluid timber]

Basically every boss in this I plan on dying a couple times to learn the moves. If I get it first try then it’s a pleasant surprise

[covert frigate]

i did beat most bosses first try

im still in early act 2 tho

[fluid timber]

I died a bunch to Rathbreaker initially and then I realized he turns slow as hell so you can just keep running right behind him and spam his ass down

[covert frigate]

i think ill be dying to most bosses at least a few times from now on

at least GGG realizes this and no longer penalize your exp for dying

i think

[fluid timber]

The only penalty is any loot on the ground disappears when you die

[covert frigate]

which isnt a problem

[fluid timber]

That said make absolute sure you keep your health up right at the end of a boss fight because if you die when they do, all that loot goes away

[covert frigate]

wtf

yeh i guess i should expect that

[fluid timber]

Yea, that’s been an unfun surprise the first time that happens to people

[covert frigate]

a lot of games have wonky intereactions like that

[fluid timber]

It at least doesn’t delete the quest/first clear specific drops

[covert frigate]

do you get the first clear drop when you kill the boss again?

[fluid timber]

Nah, once you use it, it’s removed from the loot table. Basically if there’s a plus icon on the boss icon for a zone in the world map it means it’ll drop something special its first time

[covert frigate]

no i mean like in the case that you die right when the boss die

do you get the first clear drop when you kill the boss again?

[fluid timber]

Oh that will still actually be on the ground

[covert frigate]

does the boss respawin if you die, or only when you start a new instance?

[fluid timber]

If you killed it first and then die you’ll need to start a new instance to respawn it

Which if you’re not aware, you can force a new instance by ctrl+clicking on the location when using the waypoints

[covert frigate]

yeh i know that from poe1

[spiral yew]

god

i hate those skeleton shield mob in act1

i hope they dont reappear in the future act

[fluid timber]

There’s something similar but they don’t deflect the attacks like the a1 ones

[spiral yew]

it's the only enemy atm that reflect projectile

[covert frigate]

yeh i just have to set firewall and wait for them to burn to death

speaking off, wow, fire spells sucks

fire wall seems to be the only good one

and thats just cause it buffs lightning spells

[blissful plume]

It buffs anything that goes thru

Flame fusillade is good ST for bosses

[spiral yew]

is there away to lower lvl of skill ?

[tight oak]

i think the best spell tree in the game is like

cold and minion

lightning has 4 spells that actually feel usable

spark main, orb of storms for exposure, conductivity, archmage/cast on shock

the rest feel really bad atm

shame since lightning conduit is such a far cry from what it used to be

[tight kiln]

Nah

Minion nodes are actually ass

Theres so little minion damage scaling

You're kinda forced to add almost all of it

[tight oak]

maybe minion overall is bad then, but someone ik playing raging spirits is doing well

[tight kiln]

Im playing minion rn

Srs + arsonist

But im slightly lacking damage at t4 rn

[tight oak]

yeah they swapped to that

they're not at maps yet though so it probably falls off a cliff

[tight kiln]

Ye ghazzy's build

[tight oak]

i mean

i dumpstered ||doryani|| in like 15 seconds a phase

[tight kiln]

I dont have my ascendancy to get extra spirit for more minions, i cant get any gear with spirit

[tight oak]

and then doubled my dps with archmage

and still somehow lacked damage for maps lmao

[tight kiln]

Its actually frustrating

[tight oak]

seems like maps just skyrocket in hp values

[tight kiln]

Ye well spark doesnt do well in open maps

Only in rooms with walls

[tight oak]

even in hallway maps it takes a bit

[tight kiln]

No curse?

[tight oak]

conductivity

[tight kiln]

Im pretty okay unless its one entire 50 60 wave of mobs running at me

[tight oak]

2.9k spark tooltip, i don't run out of mana

double shocks as well

[tight kiln]

Arsonist is just pconc in poe1

But fire

Overlap shotgun

Its kinda OP in campaign im ngl

I need to get the new unique shield with spirit

Gonna go home and check the price hopefully not too expensive

[tight oak]

the 50 spirit one with chaos res?

i think it's like 1 ex

practically nothing

[tight kiln]

Yeah that one

Its 4 ex now

Fuck

[blissful plume]

Is everyone getting crafting mats to drop as often as Jonathan said they would in acts?

[blissful plume]

I already have 4ex and I'm still in act2

[tight kiln]

ye you're not getting any exalts in maps sir

yesterday i bought med tier jewel for 2ex each

they are 14 ex now

LOL

[spiral yew]

"you have skill issue, but congrat"

[tight kiln]

its insane how broken pain offering is

holy.

[gleaming palm]

oh ok thnkas

[tight kiln]

fuck the shield is 6ex now

[blissful plume]

Do you think they'll nerf pause since quin is abusing it to not die?

[bronze dirge]

No

[spiral yew]

i wish we have ascendence outfit

i want my chara look like this

[toxic wing]

@tight kiln how's bloodmage?

[tight kiln]

im playing infernalist

[heavy blaze]

man jungroan build is just speed

[blissful plume]

Doesn't it brick itself with the first ascendancy

[spiral yew]

why my charm never trigger ?

[blissful plume]

Not enough charges

[spiral yew]

it just doesnt even trigger with charge i think

[blissful plume]

Wat does it activate on

[spiral yew]

it in the slot

[toxic wing]

Thats what i heard about it

[spiral yew]

i hate this wolf

cant you give me a unique or smt ?

[toxic wing]

The wolf said no and left

One rare atleast

It could have been worse

[spiral yew]

i need new gear

most of them still lvl32

also when the wolf use his fog ult, i cant use the revert time skill

[toxic wing]

Yeah gear is fun to get if we actually got some crafting items

I'm glad i found a +3/phys staff on my monk atleast

It has been carrying me

[spiral yew]

either die or pull our cart

[gleaming palm]

oooohhh

too bad no stats

[toxic wing]

the censor stuff is kinda funny
not me btw

[fluid timber]

How on earth is it triggered by that

[blissful plume]

Nazi

It's cn garbage filters again

[spiral yew]

[tight kiln]

WAO

[blissful plume]

How many exalts is an alch orb? 10?

[covert frigate]

How do i deal with enemies with magma barrier?

[fluid timber]

I'm not sure if there's a specific trick other than just attacking till the barrier breaks

it makes an elite tanky as hell to say the least

[hot kraken]

why can this skill not trigger raging spirit

[blissful plume]

its not fire enough

channel probably counts as 1 cast?

[covert frigate]

The enemy flame barriers are way too tanky, it takes 5 minutes of constant attack to break

Meanwhile they deal crazy dmg to you

[tight kiln]

it can. you need to channel

just use flame wall

[hot kraken]

no, i tested it

that skill couldnt trigger RS

[tight kiln]

change to flame wall then

[quiet wind]

finished act 3 ||one of the moves of the final boss is nearly total bs but the rest of the fight was fine. lowkey thought there wass gonna be 3rd phase||

[spiral yew]

oh boy

[quiet wind]

when do those start showing up?

[fluid timber]

after a3 cruel isn't it?

[quiet wind]

damn im still a bit ways off then

[fluid timber]

don't rush to it, the balance looks to be pretty terrible currently lol

[spiral yew]

im in act2 cruel

[quiet wind]

im gonna i just dont want to go through act 3 again cause the maps were such a slog

[fluid timber]

do they actually add any new mechanics in cruel or is it just an enemy level/stat boost and resistances reduction?

[spiral yew]

i think boss has new move

elite mob get new ... things ... w/e it call when they're elite

i die from corpse explosion once

[fluid timber]

ok cool, things get switched up a little then to make it not just DO IT AGAIN AT HIGHER LEVEL

[spiral yew]

i doubt you will see those tbh

when your build really go online around lvl50, story stuff is just a breeze

[fluid timber]

oh okay so power starts really going full speed then. kinda funny that the true cruel difficulty with the campaign is the first time through

[spiral yew]

act 1 cruel will give you some trouble since you still not really done with stuff

[fluid timber]

I do wonder with the size of some of those zones if they are expecting power creep to inevitably happen somewhat quick

[tight kiln]

if your build isnt online by cruel its hard to bounce back

cruel is a little kinda dps check in some fights

[spiral yew]

even in normal difficult some boss are dmg check

like the last boss in act 2

better have enough dps to clear those mob or they will kill you

the titan also the same

[gleaming palm]

just reached act 3 cruel >.>

gonna continue tmr

[pale atlas]

man, you folks are speedy

I just got to act 3 normal

[viscid fulcrum]

35 hours in and I'm at act 4

[gleaming palm]

u mean act1 cruel XD

[viscid fulcrum]

Yea but it would be act 4

[spiral yew]

geez

the 2 elite bird in deshar

in the end i still have to cheese them

[toxic wing]

i'm almost in act 3

the zone enemies resetting when dying is kinda screwing me over

and no crafting currency ofc

monk feels more like a ranged class but a shittier one
if they nerf the bell the class is dead though

[toxic wing]

Hayama is playing as well it seems

[blissful plume]

Yay archnemesis

[covert frigate]

could be worse

could have regen and magma armor

[fluid timber]

Screw that magma barrier

[covert frigate]

yeh i also hate magma barrier

not even an interesting mod, just annoying

[fluid timber]

I do know they’re noting problem mods because I recall they already axed one for the time being due to it causing issues

[covert frigate]

i hope they delete magma barrier

[blissful plume]

they would probably replace it with rotating reflect that reflects everything but the one dmg type

that you can't see what type it is unless you have 20/20 vision

[bronze dirge]

Wait for them to reintroduce thornflesh

[viscid fulcrum]

get rid of flask siphon

[fluid timber]

Oh my god that’s a thing???

[gleaming palm]

yes

its damn annoying

[tight oak]

flask siphon with temporal bubble and mana drain

eat shit lmao

[fluid timber]

Jesus at least most arpgs just have one that slightly increases potion use cooldown, that’s just sadistic

[gleaming palm]

or siphon/reduce healing to 50%maxhp/manadrain

these are the worst

saw that once

[fluid timber]

I haven’t been home all day so I haven’t played today and it’s pain

[gleaming palm]

and almost ragequit >,<

[tight oak]

siphon/mana drain/temp bubble/proxy intangibility/magma barrier

embrace the vision

[gleaming palm]

oh god

i can see it in maps

LOL

[tight oak]

yep

enjoy 5 mod rares lmao

[fluid timber]

I would just nope out of that map

[tight oak]

they would do it for you, dw

[gleaming palm]

hahahhaah

[fluid timber]

No, I won’t give them the joy

No pleasure from my demise for that string of binary

[viscid fulcrum]

flask siphon and temporal bubble almost made me log out for the day

[blissful plume]

and they want their dark souls with these mods

[viscid fulcrum]

as a warrior my attacks are already super slow lol

[blissful plume]

like wtf kind of dark souls mods are they using

[covert frigate]

i had a fast elite enemy with AOE health drain and mana drain early game once as sorc

it just literally ran at me and i couldnt do anything

[gleaming palm]

i feel u

[covert frigate]

had to auto attack to survive

[gleaming palm]

early on that is scary >,<

[covert frigate]

yeh, later on in act 2, i ran into a temporal bubble + mana drain enemy

but at that point i had enough dmg to kill it before i ran out of mana

[tight oak]

the ones that sets boss hp to 1 but they still get smoked by white mobs

[viscid fulcrum]

it's been such a long time since i got a weapon upgrade my sunder jumped from 2.8k to 7.2k

[blissful plume]

there's aoe health drain? wtf

mana drain you have to stick to the mob to stop the drain

[covert frigate]

what if you stick close it stops draining?

[blissful plume]

its a donut

its the same as in poe1

just that the giraffics suck in poe2

poe1 was clearer that the empty space was next to the mob

poe2 it all looks the same

[covert frigate]

yeh all i see is a bubble lmao

but like

sorc is so squishy early game

standing next to the mob is still death sentence

[bronze dirge]

Yea gonna work towards going to wand + shield after investing in block nodes for my cold sorc

Frost wall is so busted

[covert frigate]

im going all in lightning with a bit of fire to combo

storm orb + arc just feels so good

[bronze dirge]

Ah that will be squishy

[covert frigate]

i invest in some energy shield

idk if it'll be enough, but its something

[blissful plume]

wait sanctum boon rewards are bugged?

can't interact or do anything with it

[covert frigate]

i actually dont know how to build, never finished POE1 acts, so i have no idea how to build survivability

[bronze dirge]

Cruel Sanctum is bugged for my friends too

Only the first ascendancy trial was fine for all of my poe guildmates

[covert frigate]

when should i do ascendency trial?

i heard its pretty hard so dont do it right when you unlock it?

[bronze dirge]

If you haven't done Sanctum before

Just overlevel and crush it when you are 30+

For your first trial

[covert frigate]

ok lmao

i dont need ascendency nodes to beat act 2 right?

[bronze dirge]

No need

[blissful plume]

wait the boon fountains require you to just stand there to activate?

huh?

why doesn't it explain that at all?

[bronze dirge]

There's an animation

Like drinking or something

It's not like PoE1 almost instant

[blissful plume]

was there? because my char didn't even animate at the boon

only when i clicked on the negative one was there animations

[spiral yew]

hm

[blissful plume]

wtf is that 10divs?

[bronze dirge]

Wtf

[quiet wind]

need something like that for my crossbow

[tight kiln]

man i not gettingt any t5 maps

Note that you can still be trapped. A player size of a zero can still not phase through monsters, but it can get through even the smallest gap between them.

good change

still make player pay attention to the terrain and not spam roll

Gemcutter's Prism drop rates increased by 500%

i got exactly 1 drop for this

[bronze dirge]

I don't get trapped by mobs

I trap myself by my own frost walls

[spiral yew]

idk about tele to check point

i like it

but some people will probably dont like that

[tight kiln]

holy

[gleaming palm]

wow

[spiral yew]

i need jewel ..

[gleaming palm]

what jewel?>

[spiral yew]

they are the next rare thing after gemcutter

[quiet wind]

ive only gotten 2 of them

both were emeralds

[spiral yew]

oh right, there a patch that increase the drop rate so better log out and get that before doing boss/rare monster

[tight oak]

just farm 1/2-floor sanctums

open every royal cache you see, they give guaranteed jewels

[spiral yew]

ooo

[tight kiln]

In an upcoming hotfix, we'll be making it so that Raging Spirits can only summon 5 Raging Spirits per cast at all levels. They will also no longer be able to be spawned from triggered Fire Skills.

GOODBYE MINIONS

[spiral yew]

10% ?

really ?

if it's 20% i might use this

[pale atlas]

what do I do with tree pig

this might be the hardest enemy to kill in the game

[gleaming palm]

LMAO

[quiet wind]

is this also part of the want to be like dark souls? having an op pig?

[dusk karma]

Based.

[toxic wing]

Rip srs

I wonder who's next up on the chopping board

[tight kiln]

nah

its only auto bombing

lmao

manually casting srs is fine

[heavy blaze]

iam rerolling build is so squishy

[blissful plume]

if they really wanted the dark souls experience, they'd make us buy arrows for bows and crossbows

[pale atlas]

and have equip load

although, I suppose it already has some movement speed penalty depending on what you have equipped

imagine being naked in poe2 as viable strat

[gleaming palm]

happy with my current boots >,<

25% ms feels good

[pale atlas]

nice

I only have 10% currently

it's still better than nothing

[gleaming palm]

yea

base ms is just YIKES

so damn slow >,<

[pale atlas]

• me wearing armour/evasion body armour

[gleaming palm]

same

but this boots i found

too good to be replaced for now

[pale atlas]

I actually couldn't beat act 1 boss until I temporarily respecced slightly to go to ranger's branch and picked up the movement passives

[blissful plume]

20% ms makes it easy to walk around boss telegraphed attks without rolling

[gleaming palm]

ikr LOL

[blissful plume]

might get nerfed soon

[bronze dirge]

Zizaran's editor had a build on his channel
Looks pretty solid
Someone in the comments had a monk with 70% evasion and 61% pdr

https://youtu.be/rMOK1R8jn28

[gleaming palm]

i am at 74% evasion with 45% pdr currenctly >,<

[bronze dirge]

Looks pretty fun but I'm already playing a freeze build

[blissful plume]

ugh at lvl 30 and no idea where to path for ice sorc

[heavy blaze]

iam playing jungroan build is range and not melee but also freeze

but leveling as caster is so baaaaaaaad

there is not 1 decent caster spell all of them lack burst or dps

https://www.twitch.tv/jungroan/clip/ShakingVastEagleSuperVinlin-yfBPpTdFfGCTphhV?filter=clips&range=7d&sort=time t7 boss

nice skillbar dude

[bronze dirge]

Glorious

[heavy blaze]

thinking between coc or LA havent decided

[gleaming palm]

[covert frigate]

No performance improve yet it seems

[spiral yew]

sun guy's drop

[gleaming palm]

welcome to maps KEKW

[covert frigate]

Lmao this doesnt look much different from act boss drops

[pale atlas]

nice gold there

[spiral yew]

what's that ?

[heavy blaze]

coc comet with eye of winter

[blissful plume]

invoker too

[heavy blaze]

should be playable with stormweaver but to lazy to respect

[gleaming palm]

almost died to a rare that had proximal thingy, bubble, siphon, healing up to 50% max hp and manadrain

omg fooking shit

[tight kiln]

didnt his auto bomber get nerfed

thanks jung. a monk making a witch's skill get nerfed

[heavy blaze]

ye other version got guttered

[tight kiln]

EoW CoC comet CoF cold snap?

i was thinking of doing it on blood mage

[blissful plume]

coc dying next?

[tight kiln]

omg finally.

cast on crit will never die

lmao

you dont get why they are nerfing the things they nerf at all.

[gleaming palm]

btw where to get that loot filter?

[tight kiln]

oh i didnt post here huh

sec

https://github.com/NeverSinkDev/NeverSink-PoE2litefilter/releases/tag/0.1.1

[gleaming palm]

thanks

[tight kiln]

finally strongge

[spiral yew]

i really need to figure my mana situation out

almost fail the magma boss because i ran out of mana pot

[gleaming palm]

roughly map tier?

[blissful plume]

oh nice 2nd sanctum chest

[tight kiln]

tier 7

[gleaming palm]

oh ok

[tight kiln]

god damn the rest are like 15ex++

almost there

[gleaming palm]

oh only 2 ascension trials? i meant only 4 ascension points?

[tight kiln]

theres a bug currently

so

[gleaming palm]

ah ok

[tight kiln]

1st one is from sanctum

sekhema or whatever

2nd one is ultimatum aka trial of chaos

[gleaming palm]

sanctum?

[tight kiln]

3rd one is from sanctum again. ultimatum doesnt give point

[gleaming palm]

oh

sekh > ulti > sehk > ulti ?

supposedly ?

[tight kiln]

no its bugged

its not supposed to be like that

but you ahve to do it this way rn

4th ascendancy is unknown rn

somoene did 4th floor of sanctum and didnt get it

[gleaming palm]

which is sanctum? LOL

i didnt play that league in 1

lol

i only rmb sehk or ToC (ulti) so far

[tight kiln]

sehkema is sanctum

[gleaming palm]

ah ok

[spiral yew]

so how to do 3rd ascen ? just fight the boss for the coin again ?

[gleaming palm]

seem to be bugged based on what kuro said

[spiral yew]

i thought i could complete act 3 cruel tonight but the map is so tiring

[spiral yew]

guess no time stop for now

[gleaming palm]

i think u can try trial of chaos that has 9 stages to get it?

[blissful plume]

4th is probably the unreleased trial

[spiral yew]

i can barely do 4 stage chaos

the normal stage is fine but boss stage with those addon, i ded

[blissful plume]

spells are now considered hits and that hasn't changed right?

[tight kiln]

nope. ghazzy did all 10. only got a fragment to trialmaster

[bronze dirge]

Not very confident of cold sorc defenses lol
Probably need to spec block

[gleaming palm]

so 5th and 6th definitely cant get?

need more Life and PDR i guess

[tight kiln]

yes

ventura cleared floor 4 of sehkema, didnt get

ghazzy did all 10 trials

didnt get

[gleaming palm]

sad

[viscid fulcrum]

Oh damn you hit 75% res

Never thought i would see the day

[gleaming palm]

seems like "expert" tier are the highest

[covert frigate]

itd be nice if POE2 no longer gender lock classes

[fluid timber]

I did find that a bit odd they still do it that way but don't considering it a deal breaker

[covert frigate]

yeh its fine

but i wonder why they still decide to genderlock despite having ample resources now to just make 1 extra model and a bit of extra art for each class

[fluid timber]

I suppose it means I'll get less questions of "why are all your characters women"

[covert frigate]

I have no problem with receiving that question

[fluid timber]

it does make me buy more cosmetics for reasons after all

[covert frigate]

yeh i think having more female characters for players to play as would significantly increase their cosmetic sales

so missed opportunity there GGG

[blissful plume]

probably cause the chars actually have stories tied to the world instead of self-inserts

[covert frigate]

yeh but you can do that with both genders?

i havent seen any story that only works if the char is a specific gender

i guess the best argument is Sorceress and Witch class name only works if the char is female, but they could have just called the class name smth else

[blissful plume]

i mean its like 2 VAs per how many classes?

[fluid timber]

if they had just a couple voices for each gender across the classes that'd be one thing but if there's a lot of VA work tied to each class to the story then that would complicate things greatly

and I do hate sacrificing a lot of storage space to uncrompressed voice audio

[blissful plume]

also across 6 acts

[covert frigate]

like 6?

and yeh the player char has really few voicelines anyway

technically 12 classes, but each attribute is just 1 person so its the same VA

and im assuming they dont have different voicelines either

[tight oak]

I wonder how int builds defense

Armor is super good and evasion is great, but stat reqs 💀

ES doesn't feel very good since it seems a lot of the ES nodes are more out of the way and generally near meh wheels

[fluid timber]

it reminds me of how Diablo 4 initially tried to do something similar with sorcerers at launch and it definitely didn't do much for survivability

[covert frigate]

cant even kite cause casting slows you to a crawl

[gleaming palm]

and i can imagine for those using armor or es for trial would want honour resistance and max honour

[covert frigate]

also ES recharge delay is 4secs now

and you cant really get the delay to low enough that it can recharge mid fight

[toxic wing]

if you're going es you kinda need the recharge nodes

or keystones that help with it

i pretty much went with evasion once i saw how bad it was

[gleaming palm]

and having only armour, u need stun threshold or stun recovery spd too

without some...

[covert frigate]

theres a node that converts gives some stun threshold that scale with max ES

but yeh maybe ill just go evasion

at least if its evasion, i dont run out

[tight oak]

I hope someone cooks up a good defensive profile for sorc that doesn't rely on freeze or uniques

cause i have an idea for a build i want to try with 160+ spirit mana/intstacker

[pale atlas]

Man, I like my gas nade merc in eventually clearing rooms, and it's satisfying when it goes boom, but it's a different kind of satisfying than having some cast on crit trigger instant room clearing thing

Maybe there's a support gem that would alleviate that feeling

Or just get comfy doing combos instead of being one trick pony room clearing

[gleaming palm]

ok hit lv 73 >.>

gonna continue tmr KEKW

[copper mortar]

gigi's contrast

[pale atlas]

I have an oled screen and when it's dark, it's really dark

can't see anything

[fluid timber]

yea I don't have mine that cranked but my brightness is up some because OLED HDR

[covert frigate]

yeh i hop into her stream and my eyes hurt

the contrast is crazy

[fluid timber]

it's because when she starts streaming the sun hits into her room hard making shit impossible to see

[covert frigate]

fair enough

oh yeh this part where the king dude ran away and the Beast is being dragged away on the lower floor didnt even play properly for me lmao

[pale atlas]

the absolute flashbang of a stream

[covert frigate]

the Beast cart never loaded and the king guy just kinda hover there and stop moving when the dialogue says he's gonna run away

[pale atlas]

I remember him flying away, didn't see no beast cart

thought that was normal

[covert frigate]

why is she hoarding so many skill gems lmao?

[fluid timber]

(I do too)

[pale atlas]

I do too

[covert frigate]

i have a few skill gems stashed away, but not that many

[fluid timber]

oh stash tab sale this weekend? how convenient that I planned on buying some then

[covert frigate]

also shes alr out of stash space?

how?

what does she have in there?

[fluid timber]

that I haven't managed

[covert frigate]

yeh theres not a ton of things that youd want to throw in stash rn

so not sure how she alr ran out

[fluid timber]

I was mainly thinking of getting the currency tab because duh, and the unique tab because I have a habit of collecting those

side note, go figure after POE2's resounding success out the gate that something is finally shared about Last Epoch's second season

[pale atlas]

I have most of the tabs except unique, so that's what I'll get next sale

not like enough of them drop in the game to matter though

[bronze dirge]

I have too many stash tabs but I'm gonna grab that gem tab when it comes on sale

[tight kiln]

https://www.youtube.com/live/R6GarUGVJMs?si=rtdxYLvikvnZMiJw

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9vxyoMrDjg

[pale atlas]

I am confused, what's good about this armor again?

is there something that can be used with me bleeding

i guess it's for like lvl <10 or something

or even 1

[tight kiln]

people got to stop thinking uniques are like legendaries in d4 lol

[covert frigate]

i mean 81% increased armor and evasion and +131 stun threshhold is pretty big

[tight kiln]

ah but you need to know what are global modifiers and what are local modifiers

[covert frigate]

what

[tight kiln]

global means it affects your charcater

local means it affects the gear

so in this case

that armour and evasion is a local modifier

[covert frigate]

thats a thing?

[tight kiln]

which means its 81% of the gear's base stat

ofc

which is why you see the top part of the gear being blue

[covert frigate]

how do i know whats global and whats local?

[tight kiln]

ALL gears that has stats like this are usually local modifiers

unless specifically stated

like grasping mail in poe1 where it states +50% to global defenses

[tight oak]

when grasping mail was 100% and recombinable

[tight kiln]

ye

i gambled a mageblood

next league gwenn got nerfed

[tight oak]

I gambled a mageblood and a hh

[tight kiln]

https://pobb.in/Zf5VRh5EQ2lq

[covert frigate]

where does it say that?

[tight oak]

In 2 leagues in a row

[covert frigate]

oh nvm i see it

[tight kiln]

100% global defenses

[covert frigate]

its in gold instead of blue for some reason

[tight kiln]

blue is the top part of the stats

see the unique

that means its been boosted

so its boosted by the 81%

so that 81% is actually pretty fucking shit

[tight oak]

I turned in a jack in the box set to get HH, next league gamba'd 2 apothecaries to 5

[covert frigate]

lmao

[pale atlas]

yeah I'm just flummoxed it dropped in act 2 ascendency trial, not like, act 1

[tight kiln]

doesnt matter

most uniques are global drops

[tight oak]

I mean that's normal

[tight kiln]

its not like legendaries where every one of them is build defining

[tight oak]

Higher level areas just means they can drop higher level uniques

[tight kiln]

uniques are supposed to aid or change your build. only a handful of them are strong and expensive as shit

[tight oak]

And ofc for rares and magics higher tier levels

[tight kiln]

for poe2's case

its a headhunter

funny how exalts are the new chaos in poe2

i still cant get used to it

[tight oak]

The funny thing is

HH isnt even good in 2 because its a HH now

Its good cause holy fuck the stats

[tight kiln]

stats are so important

more than poe1

fucking hell

[tight oak]

Like ofc the rare mods are nice

But 20s in poe2 is not that long

[tight kiln]

speaking of rare mods thank god theres no soul eater

[tight oak]

20s in current poe1 is still solid

Also the mods to steal are less of the pool from what I've observed

[tight kiln]

oh that sucks.

[tight oak]

A lot more meh

Like in 1 you have

Hasted, energy shield, crit, precision, soul eater, etc

[tight kiln]

i accidentally threw away the quest one thinking it doesnt give any points

[tight oak]

There's a lot less good mods to steal in 2

[tight kiln]

got my 2nd ascendancy point at level 79

[tight oak]

I hear 3rd asc and above is bugged

Like someone did sanct floor 4 and didn't get it

[tight kiln]

4th is bugged

ye

ventura

[tight oak]

Ah

[tight kiln]

but the boss fight is so fucking good

[tight oak]

Do we know if

We can 6 link gems rn

Or are we capped

[tight kiln]

no clue

have you check trade to see if the jwel exists

[fluid timber]

I see Calli is learning that skeletons are a struggle

[tight kiln]

god i better not fail this

[copper mortar]

vaal it

[bronze dirge]

Wow

[fluid timber]

madlad

[tight kiln]

OH

I POSTED THE WRONG SCREENSHOT

GOD FUCKING RUN

[tight kiln]

wtf finishing 3rd ascendancy drops resistance again

[spiral yew]

"just dont get hit"

[fluid timber]

ooo, too bad I'm not a caster

[spiral yew]

good for early game i guess ?

[fluid timber]

my drops have definitely been more varied today after that hotfix

[spiral yew]

oh yea i notice that too

i got my 2nd gemcutter yesterday, after the patch

[tight oak]

doedre's tenure is doedre's tenure so yeah

good for early when you don't have spell damage

basically the same word for word as poe 1

once you're past like level 45 it falls off cause your increased damage is like 400+ by that point

[tight kiln]

fuck yes.

[tight kiln]

RITUAL LOGIN

[spiral yew]

hah ... time to do the last part of act3 cruel

[tight kiln]

well there

[tight oak]

oh shit

i might be able to do my build

[tight kiln]

good luck getting one

[tight oak]

i wonder if any are being sold

oh it's only 40 ex

i can do that

[tight kiln]

only

rich af

[tight oak]

im actually broke cause i stopped playing for a few days

[bronze dirge]

only 40

[gleaming palm]

to be fair u dont even need HH

[pale atlas]

lmao I'm getting absolute rekt by Blackjaw

[gleaming palm]

there is a support gem called behead KEKW
but its only for attack skills

[pale atlas]

OHKO

truly, don't get hit

got him this time

[tight kiln]

behead exists in poe1

[gleaming palm]

really?

i dont rmb LOL

[tight kiln]

yes

[gleaming palm]

speaking of which

last run before i slpt

earlier

had a 5 gemcutter in a row drop LOL

[tight kiln]

wtf

expedition is all rog now

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qj494rPoWRA

[spiral yew]

SHE GOT A BIKE

[covert frigate]

i think thats a broom

[spiral yew]

i dont care, BIKE

[covert frigate]

[bronze dirge]

It's a bike in wraeclast

[spiral yew]

i swear the guy at the end of act3 better give us a mount with his blood sacrifice alien tech

[bronze dirge]

It's pretty nice to see him after hearing so much of his lore in PoE1

[blissful plume]

https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/s/hfTDqJNZvQ

Cheaper 5L

[fluid timber]

Oh cute, Reddit blocking my phone again because I use VPN on it and they consider that a ‘security threat’

[spiral yew]

that was easy

the mob on the way is harder than him

[tight kiln]

https://www.youtube.com/live/UHXxBnz2Lqc?si=WueU51eOHfgLTb1d

wtf

oh shit

[spiral yew]

man

so you cant die in the new atlas

[blissful plume]

Ya it's all hardcore mapping now

[blissful plume]

You corrupted it to a 4L?

[tight kiln]

https://youtu.be/NpHsvSKKXDA?si=5Qu1iwiPIatoniYm

[spiral yew]

so even the dev arent sure about 3rd and 4th ascendancy

[spiral yew]

dam

hax staff

[tight kiln]

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

[tight kiln]

APPARENTLY IF YOU 3X MAPS IN SALVAGE BENCH YOU GET 1 TIER HIGHER???

wait

[spiral yew]

it does

reforge bench to be exact

wonder if you use 3 rare, will you get a random unique ?

[tight oak]

Well shit

I was making a cast on shock with ball lightning trigger conduit

But I might roll this instead

[tight kiln]

wtf i havent unlocked reforge bench

[tight oak]

Cause high lightning res enemies are almost if not immune to shock lmao

[blissful plume]

Relies on call of the brotherhood ring for the conversion

[spiral yew]

other people: "check out this crazy build"
me: "I NEED MORE MANA"

[blissful plume]

Looks like flicker strike but things actually die

[tight oak]

I'm well aware

I'd also need to stock up a metric ton of gold to respec

To the point I'm considering doing a full new character

But this solves a lot of issues I'm having

Freeze, mana upkeep, clear speed, more reliable

[blissful plume]

https://www.reddit.com/r/PathOfExileBuilds/s/ZGKtzW9Fpq DD is back

[spiral yew]

saw someone malding in game chat because their build got nerf, "the game just released for fews days and already nerf"

[tight kiln]

oh shit

DD is back???

[copper mortar]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0CITHZRT4A

[spiral yew]

so i guess we meet her after act 3, but since this is alpha, the timeline got messed up

which kinda make a good story

kinda like FF14 when they re-release and everything happen still go into the story

[tight oak]

Yep

Could also be yknow

The literal ||time travel|| we do as well

[civic grove]

i don't think i'm dying in hc anytime soon with 1.5k es

[blissful plume]

Don't rares do more dmg than that?

[tight oak]

I lose like 500 es a hit from white mobs in maps

[civic grove]

i'm lvl 23

hc's a bit harder than standard

[tight oak]

Hope you're not ignoring stun threshold

HC is for people that have a stronger PC than I do

Not trying to rip a character to mobs that haven't rendered

[civic grove]

there was a rare hasted mob with increased proj that got a little scary though

[blissful plume]

Don't understand the appeal of HC when server issues for early access

[tight oak]

It's about the mindset and approach to creating a character

I like it in Diablo II, but when it comes to PoE I can't do it

Lack of a good PC, visual clarity, and overall volatility

[civic grove]

ye i also find standard really boring since it's all a dps push

i have to pay attention in hc and can make use of defensives

[gleaming palm]

worst modifiers for me
= bubble, proximity and any drain...

i see that

i just nope

[blissful plume]

Are the any drains the same as mana drain or are they straight up stay in the circle and die drains

[tight kiln]

man i wish respec-ing isnt so expensive.

i really want to try scaling demon form

[gleaming palm]

me having fun with my merc

using galv shard for mobs and hvr for bosses and rares

mostly 3 or 4 shots on rares

unless they are armoured...

[tight kiln]

scaling demon form with cast on ignite is such a cool idea

[tight kiln]

wow its been a long time since i heard that sound

[pale atlas]

oh hey I'm finally in cruel

[gleaming palm]

grats

enjoy the resist penalty KEKW

[covert frigate]

I have like less than 30% resist on everything and i havent even gotten any perma resist down lmao

I think i have negative resist on lightning even

[gleaming palm]

i had positive fire and ice resist when entering cruel

while my lightning res was like -23% LOL

iirc

[covert frigate]

Lmao

[gleaming palm]

anytime i see a lightning mob

[covert frigate]

How to increase resistance?

[gleaming palm]

i am just SHIT

armor mostly

and rings

for early

[covert frigate]

Ok

[gleaming palm]

since topaz give up to 30%

[covert frigate]

Gotta look out for those i guess

[pale atlas]

don't need resist if you never get hit

glass cannon all the way

crab took me 2 tries

[tight kiln]

man the juicing is pretty poe1 like
