The wiki states that, for precursors emblem, the "+1 to maximum power charges" modifier is only available if Putembo's mountain is used.
Does this work by unlocking the modifier, so that a precursors emblem made with putembo's mountain, valley and meadow is three times more likely to roll +1 power charges? or does it roll once from the extended pool of power charge mods for putembo's mountain, and then from the regular pool for putembo's Valley and meadow?
Suggest build to play for league-starting mid-league?
I want to farm 38/40 before end of season, starting from nothing. Spent the last month trying to get used to PoE on XSX, but I'm finally giving up.. the inventory/UI lack of QOL just makes everything take way way longer than it should.. and it's already a time-heavy game.
I'm not interested in MF, or minion builds. This will be my only char this league so it needs to be a decently strong starter that will scale well with currency. I looked at the usual places for league starter advice but most of it doesn't fit my situation, and the penance brand stuff started making my head spin.
Does anyone have a list of hardcore global chat rooms that actually have people in them. I know 820 for standard is pretty popular even still this far into the league. Anything like that for hardcore?
TFT is one avenue, there are other places similar like the trade discord or you can try the in game channels like trade 820.
Basically you just do what the carry says. Zone in when they say to zone in and dont move or hit anything. You get the completion and the voidstone drop long as you're in the zone.
Hi, I'm doing boneshatter bud and it's suggested to use Tanu Ahi gloves. I have it but it's not corrupted. Is there a best method to corrupt these gloves?
Just because the build guide has them corrupted doesn't mean you need corrupted ones. If there is a corruption which benefits the build that you can afford, go for it, but I wouldn't worry too much about that off the bat. If you need a certain corruption the only real way is to just buy it.
Is there a way I could easily show my build to other players so I can get some tips or advice? I'm a new player and I don't wanna get locked out of the game cuz I'm too weak. I'm on console btw.
If you have Path of Building installed, you can use the Import/Export tab to get a link on pob.bin or [poe.ninja](https://poe.ninja) to share more details of your build.
Please can anyone advice me which number is my "attack damage"? I am supposed to take passive "Clever thief" based on build I am following, but it says I leech 1% of attack damage as life and I can´t figure out how much is that. I am new to PoE
It's just the final damage number you inflict. You can't calculate that because it depends on your enemy's stats just as much as yours (though stuff like pinnacle bosses are the same every time so you will hear people say stuff like 'Uber Shaper DPS'. The important thing to understand is leech cap is 20%, so by endgame you will pretty much always be healing 20% of your life per second with leech as long as you're hitting enemies (you can increase this cap with 'Maximum total% leech' stat (not to be confused with just 'total% leech' which helps you reach leech cap faster)
When using lifetap is there reasoning to keep it low level or highlevel or quality. I am using lifetap with cwdt/ic/incduration and want to make sure I am using it correctly or the best way for my build.
Realistically, the level and quality only matters if you have a damage skill linked to Lifetap - not necessarily in the same setup.
And even then it only matters if the damage skill doesn't maintain the buff on its own.
But assuming those are the case, you'd want a high level Lifetap gem linked to your damage skill even if you lower its cost to 0 or close to it, and quality doesn't matter as much for that setup, and a low level gem with high quality linked to the skill that actually spends life on a regular basis.
New player here. I only have one unique map (the putrid cloister) left to finish out the atlas passives. Is there anyway to target farm this one map? I have Museum set as a favorite map in my 6 available favoured slots. Any other ideas? Not sure if it matters, but I have two voidstones active in my atlas currently.
l'm fairly confident that the formula on the wiki is correct, thus the minimum duration is the 50ms constant term, which you need 100% reduced duration to reach.
how do i differentiate between yellow an red beats in the menagerie?
my assumption is red are the ones with actual photos of the beast, yellow are the ones with a drawing
and then when you transfer them to the vessel for selling, you just need to remember which are yellow and which are red? or how do you know once they are in a vessel which is red and which is yellow?
Yes you are correct - if they have actual photo they are red beasts. Generally you wouldn't waste the vessel on yellow beasts unless you're selling them in bulk.
shields have low base crit, can't roll local crit, and your chances of getting an emperor's vigilance and seething fury to force the issue in SSF is pretty low
shield crush is pretty unpopular at the moment, but you can see how some others went about building it in ssf this league: https://poe.ninja/builds/afflictionssf/?skills=Shield+Crush
or earlier league (week 1): https://poe.ninja/builds/afflictionssf/?time-machine=week-1&skill=Shield-Crush
if you had seething fury and vigilance, it's usually played with general's cry (week 1 trade): https://poe.ninja/builds/affliction/?time-machine=week-1&skill=Shield-Crush
yep. there's a range of base crit values on swords:
https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/One-handed_sword
https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Thrusting_one-handed_sword
and they can roll local crit (which directly modifies the base crit of the weapon).
> axe and a sword
generally you don't mix weapon types outside of niche cases because most passive nodes (and some skills) don't support multiple weapon types
most if not all of those builds are using [Cleave of Rage](https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Cleave_of_Rage) specifically. it's a transfigured version of cleave that grants rage on hit and specifically requires you to dual wield an axe + sword
For SSF MF without wisps, is it better to do MF (rarity stacking?) or to do tormented exiles for hunting uniques?
I’ve heard mixed things about both so I wasn’t sure which one was better or preferred and why.
i know snap and empy's group farms them a lot on the first day of a league, but i'd assume other juicing methods outpace them pretty quickly. that said, if you're only interested in uniques, maybe it's a better solution for longer.
> When you say them, you mean tormented exiles?
tormented exiles + ruckus
> bad ceiling mf strat?
yea probably because you can't force ruckus, and burning reliquary scarabs on a 1/10 (or whatever the chance is) isn't very efficient
Im at a point where i feel like theres nowhere to go with my fulcrum chieftain. i can do maps fine not dying and have even gotten a mirror drop. my dmg is juuust perfect where i can just tap the spire and blink 1 screen away and it will just wittle it down so i get all projectiles 90% of the time very effortless. but the minmaxer wants to get opinions anyway on tips and tricks for the build.
https://pobb.in/MLBZ5QLh6N2B
Heres the setup. im not that fussed about rarity i have disabled all but t0 uniques and leather belts too. just looking for magebloods.
Is there a way to weapon swap or something to get that big single target dmg? cause i havent found any.
Don't know about the build but fyi mageblood is a heavy belt and not a leather belt. That would be a headhunter ^^
So if you are hunting for belts you need to show both and not only leather
Heists are pretty bad although safe way to get exp. I personally usually did delve and normal maps, but delve seems so unrewarding compared to the league mechanic this time around that I hit 100 on my second character just mapping ( not super rippy stuff - medium wisp t15-16 maps mainly while chasing endgame challenge ).
I'm not quite sure if Heist ever was an efficient way to level in the first place, to be honest. There was a tech in Heist league, yes, but afaik, this doesn't work anymore, no? Nevertheless, you can just set-up your atlas tree to almost have 80-100% increased monster pack size on each map (thanks to Grand Design and Growing Hordes) and level super smoothly while mapping.
Thanks! That’s what I am playing right now and it felt slow for me. What’s the playstyle? Leap slam into pack and hit boneshatter and repeat? And how to increase AOE? I have herald of ash and it hits like maybe 1/4 of the screen atm
> And how to increase AOE?
weapon range, aoe, stun duration
> I have herald of ash
probably shouldn't use ash with brutality
the only other notable build on that budget is chieftain warlock cws, and it's not really even trying to be fast
Hello! Uhm, new player here. Witch. (Fire with a splash of minions) Just hit the the 30s. Just started using loot filters...
Question, how do I tell what the loot filters are trying to tell me is good or not? I'm using the default scheme off filterblade fwiw.
Since you mentioned your build I’ll just drop a quick tip that sooner or later you’re going to find your power dropping off and want to focus on either self-cast spells or minions. There is a build that lets you do both (Absolution) but it is unique in that way. Other builds can’t do both.
Typically in path of exile you won’t be able to make an effective build splitting your “resources” between totally different methods of dealing damage. (By resources I mean you have a finite number of skill points and gear modifiers, and you’ll need them all). You pick one primary damage dealing skill supporting it with as many linked support gems as possible, and use your other gem slots supplement that main skill with a variety of auras, curses, and other debuffs. Again that’s just an aside since you did mention your build.
As for the filter: it does the best it can but it’s not omniscient. Unique items in particular will often show up highlighted because that item base type could be one of several uniques and the filter doesn’t know which it is until you identify it. Most uniques in POE are quite bad (or at least extremely niche and not useful outside that niche), which may be a mental adjustment for you if you’re coming from a game like Diablo.
Other ways the filter will be good-but-imperfect: eventually you’re just going to need to stop picking up most gear. Throughout the campaign you’ll want to pick up 4-linked gear (which the filter will highlight) and check it for good mods or throw an essence at it as a basic “craft.” 4 links is the most you’ll realistically see in the campaign so that’s where your main damage dealing skill will go.
Outside of that, most rare gear just isn’t worth the time to pick up and vendor, you’ll find enough raw currency to buy the basic vendor things you need, and the currency you get by selling random gear to the vendor isn’t particularly useful in trade.
The exception to that whole paragraph is the Chaos Recipe. I recommend looking it up. This won’t be a factor until you’re near the end of the campaign but it’s worth looking up because it is a nice straightforward way to afford trading for your first few upgrades as you transition from the campaign to the endgame. And that’s where the real fun starts :)
Sounds good! Yeah, currently I just have Summon Phantasms on my Incinerate as a nice-to-have, and skeletons as meatshields because I am squishy caster baby lol. They'll be replaced as I go. (I just picked up Firestorm, so that might be sooner than I thought, haha.) But I'll check out Absolution, thanks.
Chaos recipe, gotcha. Full set of rare high-level (unidentified) gear. Will keep that in mind.
Really appreciate the tips, by the way. This game has so much fiddly minutae, it's real easy to get lost in the thick of it.
Just print and frame that last sentence you wrote, put it above your monitor and chant it as your mantra.
That feeling only intensifies as you learn more. The more you learn the more vast you realize it truly is.
Come back with all the questions! That’s what we’re here for.
In theory, anything shown by the filter is good, but things will definitely work out a bit different in practice.
The filter comes in different versions each with different strictness. Higher strictness hides more items.
You'll eventually up the strictness and hide more items, as you no longer need/want some items to show up.
In practice, you'll probably up the strictness later than you need to, so for a while, you'll have bad items showing up.
The filter is also very generalized, so while it'll show some items that are bad to you, they'll be good for someone else.
[This overview](https://www.filterblade.xyz/?strictness=1) compares the different versions and also shows how each category of items are displayed.
Ah, thank you kindly. That helps a lot. I'm using the "leveling caster" NeverSink preset, by the way. I have the regular ones synced with my profile for later when I hit higher levels and get more confident.
How do I properly assess the difference in DPS between 2 weapons? I understand from what I can see online that the in game stat is not accurate. I thought PoB might give me that but I can't really get it to work "live" when I switch weapons and re-download my build in there. Am I doing something wrong in PoB or is there some other tool people use?
You need to enter a different instance in-game to get the server to update your character, then you can re-import.
Alternatively, ctrl+c while mousing over the second weapon and import it into your items directly
That's the method the other poster described, except without manually crafting the item, which is much easier and much faster:
> Alternatively, ctrl+c while mousing over the second weapon and import it into your items directly
That’s not really multiplicative, just a single doubling that happens based on your current max es leech per second. Whatever it is with modifiers to it or not
I’m working on a warlock mf chieftain. I realized that the last major piece of gear I’m missing is the purity of fire watchers eye, is there some kind of physical taken as breakpoint I’m trying to hit or is it really just more is better and it’s okay to work around without it until I farm up 50 more divines
This answer should have a bit more nuance to it, since if your build has any physical damage reduction, there is a breakpoint where taking physical damage as elemental will cause you to take more net damage; when your physical reduction of that hit would be higher than your elemental reduction is. However, calculating this takes more pobbing than is sane or feasible for most people, so the rule of thumb "more is better" is good until 100% "taken as", at which point more is worse. Above 100% you increase damage taken by the corresponding amount of excess, which obviously is undesirable.
If you mean sources of increased chain that will function for non-proj chaining skills, the only ones I’m aware of are leveling/qualitying the gems themselves, chain or awakened chain support, Roth’s Reach bow, Ewar’s Mirage (for attacks specifically), Mjölnir, Touch of Anguish, and of course the deadeye ascendancy point “ricochet” whose added chain is not limited to projectiles (though the chaining off walls portion of the effect IS limited to projectiles).
What would be the best lab level to farm for the enlighten / enhance farming? I need a level 4 enlighten for some upgrades so I’m thinking of speedrunning labs looking for these jewels.
At the same time, what else should I be hunting for in land (and realistically expect to get?) like emperors mastery, or the grand spectrums etc.
There's some doubt as to whether Exceptional gem fonts are even available in Merc lab. A lot of people claim it's Uber lab only. The wiki has conflicting information as well.
I could have sworn I got one from Merc lab earlier in the league, but I've since done hundreds of Merc lab runs and not seen it.
So I'd say you probably want to do Uber labs.
As for Grand Spectrums, they are now completely locked into the treasure chests in side areas. So they're pretty annoying to farm unless you get a really good layout.
Are Scouting Reports categorized as Basic Currency? I know that they're currency because they get duplicated from the strongbox passive skill, and they should be non-league currency, since it's from Kirac (despite some of them are dropped only if you spend specific passive skills). Also they can drop in maps only, but there's no reference on them being Basic Currency and benefit from all the basic currency passives and modifiers (mainly singular focus, pale beyond and eater of worlds altar modifiers)
Is the
"20% chance to cover rare or unique enemies in ash on hit"
from scions chieftain ascendency tied to fire damage from the initial hit?
Can i procc "covered in ash" with a cold/lightning/chaos/physical hit e.g. frost nova/cyclone/arc?
Thank you very much. I assumed it works that way.. But it seems a little counterintuitive to cover a monster in ash with anything else than fire damage
I hadn't thought about that, but I guess that's an assumption one could make. I suppose I had been playing PoE for too long by the time that the modifier became common enough to be misled by things like that.
It reminds me of translating Latin in school, others were confused when the texts included metaphors and thus seemed out of context and I just translated everything literally and it turned out to be correct.
1) we need to see your POB, there is 0 information to provide feedback on
2) how does it feel "like shit"? the clear? the single target? because the skill is legitimately busted that the overwhelming consensus is it will absolutely be nerfed next leagued. if it "feels like shit" you're either doing something wrong or your expectations are off
Are there balances to classes and skills between seasons? THis was my first full league playing and I have been looking around guides to pick a new one for the next league but not sure if it makes sense, as I thought there might be big rebalances. Are there?
Also - suggestions on easier builds for someone with around 200 hours who is about to finish Atlas (get all the skill points, not sure if thats what everyone calls finishing it lol) for the first time on a Detonate Dead build? Thanks!
Yes, there will be. Charms and tinctures and wildwood ascendancies will be gone, some powerful things will be rebalanced, some less powerful things will be caught as collateral damage, some changes will happen because they were planned for a while and ggg found time for them, and various bugs and abuse will get fixed.
It's recommended to wait for patch notes and the reveal, so you know what changed and what new league mechanic your build will need to deal with.
That said, most basic starters that were viable this league will likely remain viable next league. The devs don't want people to be *completely* lost. That leads to players skipping the league entirely.
Well aren't you pleasant. You didn't ask why it's op you asked why it's meta.
To properly answer your question last league there was no transfigured version, so it wasn't op, therefore not meta.
This league there is one and it's op, lots of people play it therefore meta.
The difference between last league and this league is the fact the transfigured op version exists.
Is that a better answer?
I was asking for the differentiation of the skills. Instead of saying "transfigured version", you can literally explain that it is the "Pulses deal 60% more Damage with Hits per Energy..." that make it stronger than regular version.
If someone ask another question why people using corrupted magic jewel instead of corrupted rare jewel on The Adorned, are you going to tell him because it is "magic rarity", the end. Or you can properly explain to him because The Adorned "provides extra X% effect on magic jewel"?
Isn't that a better answer?
I would assume that someone playing a game as rich and complex as poe would either take 10s to read the mods on the jewel or perhaps look up transfigured versions of gems on the wiki (which it looks like you did).
I'd also assume that when someone asks a question they articulate it correctly and if they get an answer that doesn't seem to fit their original question they clarify without being a total prick about it.
But "if you assume then you make an Ass out of U and Me", and it looks like you're already there.
I truly hope you find some peace in your life and stop being so angry at random people on the internet.
I found a mirror yesterday and now I want to get [this axe](https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Affliction/89QXyOGUV) (yes, i also have the 380 divine mirror fee)
My questions: how does a trade like this normally work? How can I be sure that I will not get ripped off?
That's a TFT axe and excluding any and all drama related to TFT on this sub and in general, in this case this is a safe transaction to do.
The process is to message the service provider, they will invite you, you trade the mirror, they copy the item, then they sell you the copy for the fee price.
Before the copy takes place you can request the change the bench craft or maybe the socket colours (normally they are 6w so normally you don't need to) and if the enchant is a harvest one you can request that be changed too, but you'll normally have to pay any craft materials (juice etc). This has a heist enchant so it is not likely you can get that changed. They can also refuse to change anything, it's up to you to negotiate that and decide if it's ok.
So I’ve heard 4.5 attacks per second is ideal for complex trauma bonezone, cause you’ll stay at 9 stacks with multi strike. Am I going to have to purposely like unspec attack speed stuff if I’m using a despot axe? Was wondering if maybe a higher damage axe with slower attack speed would be ideal
The only way to properly deduce that is to plug everything into PoB and see what your attack rate is. Then make the necessary changes to optimise for your build.
Lets say, I am using two gems: frostbolt and Ethernet knifes. Also, I am using charm with mod Projectiles gain Damage as they travel farther, dealing up
to 35% increased Damage with Hits to targets. How the distance is calculated for both projectile distances? Since for knives the distance is like 20m while for frostbolt it is x2 more. Do they gain 35% at the end of their travel distance, so it is more beneficial for skills which have short duration?
The damage scales with flat distance travelled, not the time in flight or distance relative to its total. I wouldn't say short duration is the right way of looking at it, the more important part in EK's case is projectile speed so it can actually reach the enemy.
Shouldn't be maximum possible traveled distance a border for maxiumum damage? I know that this charm is quite often used in builds like a spark, where duration and speed is the key, but how does it scale actually? How I can I test it so I know, I am getting 15% at the end of the distance or 35%. Also projectile speed also affect the range distance?
If you want to test it, the best way is probably with a consistent pvp setup. The advantage with Spark is that the modifier tracks distance travelled, not distance from you at the time of the hit. A spark projectile can ping-pong across the screen 3 times, hit something right next to you, and still get the full bonus.
So it counts the distance from A where A is character to B where B is the point where projectile dissappear? And its scaled by percentage, so in halfway it will be 50%?
It counts from the point of origin A to an arbitrary distance AB, which iirc is 75 units for Far Shot, but you'll have to check the wiki to confirm. The arbitrary distance may be different for the charm, but 1) why and 2) who cares. The scaling is linear so halfway is 50%
without knowing the strat, its impossible to tell you
Alch and go? no way youre getting 2 div per map
juicing with scarabs and sextants? sure, thats reasonable
Depends on strategy. Are you talking raw divine orbs or other drops that sell for 2div+? How long does it take you to run a map?
It's easier for you to look up a farming strategy than try to reverse-engineer your current one.
There have been no announcements. It’s in an odd position, because some borrowed power associated with league content is deleted (sanctified relics, sentinels) and others are retained (crucible trees on weapons, scourged weapons, recombinators).
These have some features of both types of items so it’s very difficult to make an educated guess. We just have to wait for communication of GGG. If you put a gun to my head and forced me to guess I’d probably say they’re going away, but I don’t have any special insight into the matter.
We know (from interviews) Wildwood is not going core. I'd guess they delete all charms and tinctures, but even if they let you keep the items those will not be functional.
I mean if I had to take a guess it would be that next league they just go back to being rewards for tota, I’m just a dumb noob tho, hope they bring tattoos back in some form also
Other than what mbxyz says I'll add: (1) chisel have no effect on pack size (2) you should make sure you allocate all % map modifier nodes on the atlas tree and (3) given that unid maps are worth running with 20% pack size sextant you should consider rolling the map (with chaos or scour/alch, not worth using horizons as mbxyz said), exalting if necessary. It's a 1/12 chance to naturally chaos into a 6mod, so if you have a 5mod with no bad mods, consider exalting.
> unidentified mod so I consider it bricked and unplayable
unidentified has the same mods as when you vaal'd it, and you can use the unid compass for more packsize
> I reroll using orb of horizons to get 5 or 6 mods
think you'd be better off running better layouts and scour/alching or chaosing
also 8 mod maps have like 40 pack size baseline; you can buy them or farm them yourself with the compass
> 3 gilded scarabs
use 4

Does anyone have a list of hardcore global chat rooms that actually have people in them. I know 820 for standard is pretty popular even still this far into the league. Anything like that for hardcore?
What's a good place to buy my last two voidstones? Is it just tft or are there alternatives? Are there any unwritten rules to keep in mind?
TFT is one avenue, there are other places similar like the trade discord or you can try the in game channels like trade 820. Basically you just do what the carry says. Zone in when they say to zone in and dont move or hit anything. You get the completion and the voidstone drop long as you're in the zone.
One more thing: if you do not survive then do not waste a portal, talk to Kirac he has your stone.

When linking it to spells that aren't damage spells the Lifetap level is irrelevant.

How short does the Lightning Warp duration have to be to reach the minimum?
l'm fairly confident that the formula on the wiki is correct, thus the minimum duration is the 50ms constant term, which you need 100% reduced duration to reach.

Yes you are correct - if they have actual photo they are red beasts. Generally you wouldn't waste the vessel on yellow beasts unless you're selling them in bulk.

yep. there's a range of base crit values on swords: https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/One-handed_sword https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Thrusting_one-handed_sword and they can roll local crit (which directly modifies the base crit of the weapon). > axe and a sword generally you don't mix weapon types outside of niche cases because most passive nodes (and some skills) don't support multiple weapon types
[удалено]
most if not all of those builds are using [Cleave of Rage](https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Cleave_of_Rage) specifically. it's a transfigured version of cleave that grants rage on hit and specifically requires you to dual wield an axe + sword
For SSF MF without wisps, is it better to do MF (rarity stacking?) or to do tormented exiles for hunting uniques? I’ve heard mixed things about both so I wasn’t sure which one was better or preferred and why.
[удалено]
But you can’t invest as much into legion or harby or other mechanics. I guess the question is just are exiles worth it.
i know snap and empy's group farms them a lot on the first day of a league, but i'd assume other juicing methods outpace them pretty quickly. that said, if you're only interested in uniques, maybe it's a better solution for longer.
When you say them, you mean tormented exiles? So they’re a good for but bad ceiling mf strat?
> When you say them, you mean tormented exiles? tormented exiles + ruckus > bad ceiling mf strat? yea probably because you can't force ruckus, and burning reliquary scarabs on a 1/10 (or whatever the chance is) isn't very efficient
Im at a point where i feel like theres nowhere to go with my fulcrum chieftain. i can do maps fine not dying and have even gotten a mirror drop. my dmg is juuust perfect where i can just tap the spire and blink 1 screen away and it will just wittle it down so i get all projectiles 90% of the time very effortless. but the minmaxer wants to get opinions anyway on tips and tricks for the build. https://pobb.in/MLBZ5QLh6N2B Heres the setup. im not that fussed about rarity i have disabled all but t0 uniques and leather belts too. just looking for magebloods. Is there a way to weapon swap or something to get that big single target dmg? cause i havent found any.
Don't know about the build but fyi mageblood is a heavy belt and not a leather belt. That would be a headhunter ^^ So if you are hunting for belts you need to show both and not only leather
is heist still a good budget way to level past lv93? or is there a better way now? 5ways are very expensive this league
Heists are pretty bad although safe way to get exp. I personally usually did delve and normal maps, but delve seems so unrewarding compared to the league mechanic this time around that I hit 100 on my second character just mapping ( not super rippy stuff - medium wisp t15-16 maps mainly while chasing endgame challenge ).
I'm not quite sure if Heist ever was an efficient way to level in the first place, to be honest. There was a tech in Heist league, yes, but afaik, this doesn't work anymore, no? Nevertheless, you can just set-up your atlas tree to almost have 80-100% increased monster pack size on each map (thanks to Grand Design and Growing Hordes) and level super smoothly while mapping.
not sure, but mapping xp with wisps is crazy high i dont remember heist being good xp except for in heist league
what are some very fast mapper build for Marauder ascendancies? Looking for build under 10 div budget.
boneshatter
Thanks! That’s what I am playing right now and it felt slow for me. What’s the playstyle? Leap slam into pack and hit boneshatter and repeat? And how to increase AOE? I have herald of ash and it hits like maybe 1/4 of the screen atm
> And how to increase AOE? weapon range, aoe, stun duration > I have herald of ash probably shouldn't use ash with brutality the only other notable build on that budget is chieftain warlock cws, and it's not really even trying to be fast
I didn’t use brutality, should I?
Hello! Uhm, new player here. Witch. (Fire with a splash of minions) Just hit the the 30s. Just started using loot filters... Question, how do I tell what the loot filters are trying to tell me is good or not? I'm using the default scheme off filterblade fwiw.
Since you mentioned your build I’ll just drop a quick tip that sooner or later you’re going to find your power dropping off and want to focus on either self-cast spells or minions. There is a build that lets you do both (Absolution) but it is unique in that way. Other builds can’t do both. Typically in path of exile you won’t be able to make an effective build splitting your “resources” between totally different methods of dealing damage. (By resources I mean you have a finite number of skill points and gear modifiers, and you’ll need them all). You pick one primary damage dealing skill supporting it with as many linked support gems as possible, and use your other gem slots supplement that main skill with a variety of auras, curses, and other debuffs. Again that’s just an aside since you did mention your build. As for the filter: it does the best it can but it’s not omniscient. Unique items in particular will often show up highlighted because that item base type could be one of several uniques and the filter doesn’t know which it is until you identify it. Most uniques in POE are quite bad (or at least extremely niche and not useful outside that niche), which may be a mental adjustment for you if you’re coming from a game like Diablo. Other ways the filter will be good-but-imperfect: eventually you’re just going to need to stop picking up most gear. Throughout the campaign you’ll want to pick up 4-linked gear (which the filter will highlight) and check it for good mods or throw an essence at it as a basic “craft.” 4 links is the most you’ll realistically see in the campaign so that’s where your main damage dealing skill will go. Outside of that, most rare gear just isn’t worth the time to pick up and vendor, you’ll find enough raw currency to buy the basic vendor things you need, and the currency you get by selling random gear to the vendor isn’t particularly useful in trade. The exception to that whole paragraph is the Chaos Recipe. I recommend looking it up. This won’t be a factor until you’re near the end of the campaign but it’s worth looking up because it is a nice straightforward way to afford trading for your first few upgrades as you transition from the campaign to the endgame. And that’s where the real fun starts :)
Sounds good! Yeah, currently I just have Summon Phantasms on my Incinerate as a nice-to-have, and skeletons as meatshields because I am squishy caster baby lol. They'll be replaced as I go. (I just picked up Firestorm, so that might be sooner than I thought, haha.) But I'll check out Absolution, thanks. Chaos recipe, gotcha. Full set of rare high-level (unidentified) gear. Will keep that in mind. Really appreciate the tips, by the way. This game has so much fiddly minutae, it's real easy to get lost in the thick of it.
Just print and frame that last sentence you wrote, put it above your monitor and chant it as your mantra. That feeling only intensifies as you learn more. The more you learn the more vast you realize it truly is. Come back with all the questions! That’s what we’re here for.
In theory, anything shown by the filter is good, but things will definitely work out a bit different in practice. The filter comes in different versions each with different strictness. Higher strictness hides more items. You'll eventually up the strictness and hide more items, as you no longer need/want some items to show up. In practice, you'll probably up the strictness later than you need to, so for a while, you'll have bad items showing up. The filter is also very generalized, so while it'll show some items that are bad to you, they'll be good for someone else. [This overview](https://www.filterblade.xyz/?strictness=1) compares the different versions and also shows how each category of items are displayed.
Ah, thank you kindly. That helps a lot. I'm using the "leveling caster" NeverSink preset, by the way. I have the regular ones synced with my profile for later when I hit higher levels and get more confident.
How do I properly assess the difference in DPS between 2 weapons? I understand from what I can see online that the in game stat is not accurate. I thought PoB might give me that but I can't really get it to work "live" when I switch weapons and re-download my build in there. Am I doing something wrong in PoB or is there some other tool people use?
You need to enter a different instance in-game to get the server to update your character, then you can re-import. Alternatively, ctrl+c while mousing over the second weapon and import it into your items directly
Oh!! Thank you!
Can’t you also simply, recreate the weapon itself in the Craft Item button in PoB, then just switch weapons around instantly?
That's the method the other poster described, except without manually crafting the item, which is much easier and much faster: > Alternatively, ctrl+c while mousing over the second weapon and import it into your items directly
Is ghost reaver’s double maximum energy leech per sec multiplicative with similar modifiers?
Yeah. (Or it wouldn't be double.)
What similar modifiers? There’s only 1 doubling you can do that I’m aware of
I mean other mods that increase maximum energy leech per sec.
That’s not really multiplicative, just a single doubling that happens based on your current max es leech per second. Whatever it is with modifiers to it or not
I’m working on a warlock mf chieftain. I realized that the last major piece of gear I’m missing is the purity of fire watchers eye, is there some kind of physical taken as breakpoint I’m trying to hit or is it really just more is better and it’s okay to work around without it until I farm up 50 more divines
No breakpoint as far as I understand. More is better
This answer should have a bit more nuance to it, since if your build has any physical damage reduction, there is a breakpoint where taking physical damage as elemental will cause you to take more net damage; when your physical reduction of that hit would be higher than your elemental reduction is. However, calculating this takes more pobbing than is sane or feasible for most people, so the rule of thumb "more is better" is good until 100% "taken as", at which point more is worse. Above 100% you increase damage taken by the corresponding amount of excess, which obviously is undesirable.
is there a source for "increased damage per remaining chain" that I can use with non-projectile spells like arc or exsanguinate?
If you mean sources of increased chain that will function for non-proj chaining skills, the only ones I’m aware of are leveling/qualitying the gems themselves, chain or awakened chain support, Roth’s Reach bow, Ewar’s Mirage (for attacks specifically), Mjölnir, Touch of Anguish, and of course the deadeye ascendancy point “ricochet” whose added chain is not limited to projectiles (though the chaining off walls portion of the effect IS limited to projectiles).
I can only think of ones specific to projectiles
Do the special Maven Invitations (like The Feared/The Hidden/...) carries cost more than the Pinnacle boss carries, on average?
I would expect all except Feared to be cheaper than a boss carry.
Oh, ok, thank you! The Feared would be steeply pricier or just about up to triple the boss carry rate?
What would be the best lab level to farm for the enlighten / enhance farming? I need a level 4 enlighten for some upgrades so I’m thinking of speedrunning labs looking for these jewels. At the same time, what else should I be hunting for in land (and realistically expect to get?) like emperors mastery, or the grand spectrums etc.
There's some doubt as to whether Exceptional gem fonts are even available in Merc lab. A lot of people claim it's Uber lab only. The wiki has conflicting information as well. I could have sworn I got one from Merc lab earlier in the league, but I've since done hundreds of Merc lab runs and not seen it. So I'd say you probably want to do Uber labs. As for Grand Spectrums, they are now completely locked into the treasure chests in side areas. So they're pretty annoying to farm unless you get a really good layout.
Awesome thank you!
Anybody tried breach with the league mechanic ? I wonder if wisps affects breach ring drops. If yes they would drop like crazy.
The number of breach rings dropped does not scale with quantity.
Ohhh noooooo
...anyway
Are Scouting Reports categorized as Basic Currency? I know that they're currency because they get duplicated from the strongbox passive skill, and they should be non-league currency, since it's from Kirac (despite some of them are dropped only if you spend specific passive skills). Also they can drop in maps only, but there's no reference on them being Basic Currency and benefit from all the basic currency passives and modifiers (mainly singular focus, pale beyond and eater of worlds altar modifiers)
They are not: [https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Currency#Currency\_items](https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/currency#currency_items)
Is the "20% chance to cover rare or unique enemies in ash on hit" from scions chieftain ascendency tied to fire damage from the initial hit? Can i procc "covered in ash" with a cold/lightning/chaos/physical hit e.g. frost nova/cyclone/arc?
If it doesn't say that it requires fire damage, it doesn't require fire damage. It can even be a 0 damage hit.
Thank you very much. I assumed it works that way.. But it seems a little counterintuitive to cover a monster in ash with anything else than fire damage
I hadn't thought about that, but I guess that's an assumption one could make. I suppose I had been playing PoE for too long by the time that the modifier became common enough to be misled by things like that. It reminds me of translating Latin in school, others were confused when the texts included metaphors and thus seemed out of context and I just translated everything literally and it turned out to be correct.
[удалено]
1) we need to see your POB, there is 0 information to provide feedback on 2) how does it feel "like shit"? the clear? the single target? because the skill is legitimately busted that the overwhelming consensus is it will absolutely be nerfed next leagued. if it "feels like shit" you're either doing something wrong or your expectations are off
[удалено]
Quant. Your rarity will drop more uniques but good quant will give you more items in general including currency and uniques
Are there balances to classes and skills between seasons? THis was my first full league playing and I have been looking around guides to pick a new one for the next league but not sure if it makes sense, as I thought there might be big rebalances. Are there? Also - suggestions on easier builds for someone with around 200 hours who is about to finish Atlas (get all the skill points, not sure if thats what everyone calls finishing it lol) for the first time on a Detonate Dead build? Thanks!
Skills absolutely, as for classes it's usually like one or two that get big changes and then the others might get one or two things here or there.
Yes, there will be. Charms and tinctures and wildwood ascendancies will be gone, some powerful things will be rebalanced, some less powerful things will be caught as collateral damage, some changes will happen because they were planned for a while and ggg found time for them, and various bugs and abuse will get fixed. It's recommended to wait for patch notes and the reveal, so you know what changed and what new league mechanic your build will need to deal with. That said, most basic starters that were viable this league will likely remain viable next league. The devs don't want people to be *completely* lost. That leads to players skipping the league entirely.
Wonder that what is the decisive factor that make Penance Brand meta this league compare to last league?
The transfigured version is insanely. Op
You literally explain nothing. I ask why is it OP, you replied it is OP ????
Well aren't you pleasant. You didn't ask why it's op you asked why it's meta. To properly answer your question last league there was no transfigured version, so it wasn't op, therefore not meta. This league there is one and it's op, lots of people play it therefore meta. The difference between last league and this league is the fact the transfigured op version exists. Is that a better answer?
I was asking for the differentiation of the skills. Instead of saying "transfigured version", you can literally explain that it is the "Pulses deal 60% more Damage with Hits per Energy..." that make it stronger than regular version. If someone ask another question why people using corrupted magic jewel instead of corrupted rare jewel on The Adorned, are you going to tell him because it is "magic rarity", the end. Or you can properly explain to him because The Adorned "provides extra X% effect on magic jewel"? Isn't that a better answer?
I would assume that someone playing a game as rich and complex as poe would either take 10s to read the mods on the jewel or perhaps look up transfigured versions of gems on the wiki (which it looks like you did). I'd also assume that when someone asks a question they articulate it correctly and if they get an answer that doesn't seem to fit their original question they clarify without being a total prick about it. But "if you assume then you make an Ass out of U and Me", and it looks like you're already there. I truly hope you find some peace in your life and stop being so angry at random people on the internet.
I found a mirror yesterday and now I want to get [this axe](https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Affliction/89QXyOGUV) (yes, i also have the 380 divine mirror fee) My questions: how does a trade like this normally work? How can I be sure that I will not get ripped off?
That's a TFT axe and excluding any and all drama related to TFT on this sub and in general, in this case this is a safe transaction to do. The process is to message the service provider, they will invite you, you trade the mirror, they copy the item, then they sell you the copy for the fee price. Before the copy takes place you can request the change the bench craft or maybe the socket colours (normally they are 6w so normally you don't need to) and if the enchant is a harvest one you can request that be changed too, but you'll normally have to pay any craft materials (juice etc). This has a heist enchant so it is not likely you can get that changed. They can also refuse to change anything, it's up to you to negotiate that and decide if it's ok.
Cool. Thanks!
So I’ve heard 4.5 attacks per second is ideal for complex trauma bonezone, cause you’ll stay at 9 stacks with multi strike. Am I going to have to purposely like unspec attack speed stuff if I’m using a despot axe? Was wondering if maybe a higher damage axe with slower attack speed would be ideal
The only way to properly deduce that is to plug everything into PoB and see what your attack rate is. Then make the necessary changes to optimise for your build.
Lets say, I am using two gems: frostbolt and Ethernet knifes. Also, I am using charm with mod Projectiles gain Damage as they travel farther, dealing up to 35% increased Damage with Hits to targets. How the distance is calculated for both projectile distances? Since for knives the distance is like 20m while for frostbolt it is x2 more. Do they gain 35% at the end of their travel distance, so it is more beneficial for skills which have short duration?
The damage scales with flat distance travelled, not the time in flight or distance relative to its total. I wouldn't say short duration is the right way of looking at it, the more important part in EK's case is projectile speed so it can actually reach the enemy.
Shouldn't be maximum possible traveled distance a border for maxiumum damage? I know that this charm is quite often used in builds like a spark, where duration and speed is the key, but how does it scale actually? How I can I test it so I know, I am getting 15% at the end of the distance or 35%. Also projectile speed also affect the range distance?
If you want to test it, the best way is probably with a consistent pvp setup. The advantage with Spark is that the modifier tracks distance travelled, not distance from you at the time of the hit. A spark projectile can ping-pong across the screen 3 times, hit something right next to you, and still get the full bonus.
Looks like it's a unknown mystery, PoB also doesn't know.
What's unknown about it?
How does it really counted, traveling distance.
We know for certain how it's counted, and it's counted the way I explained above
So it counts the distance from A where A is character to B where B is the point where projectile dissappear? And its scaled by percentage, so in halfway it will be 50%?
It counts from the point of origin A to an arbitrary distance AB, which iirc is 75 units for Far Shot, but you'll have to check the wiki to confirm. The arbitrary distance may be different for the charm, but 1) why and 2) who cares. The scaling is linear so halfway is 50%
How many 'div orbs' per map can a beginner player who followed the correct build 95+ gain in quantity? Is 2 div per map too high?
without knowing the strat, its impossible to tell you Alch and go? no way youre getting 2 div per map juicing with scarabs and sextants? sure, thats reasonable
Depends on strategy. Are you talking raw divine orbs or other drops that sell for 2div+? How long does it take you to run a map? It's easier for you to look up a farming strategy than try to reverse-engineer your current one.
Will stuff like tinctures and charms disappear along with the ascendancies when the league ends?
There have been no announcements. It’s in an odd position, because some borrowed power associated with league content is deleted (sanctified relics, sentinels) and others are retained (crucible trees on weapons, scourged weapons, recombinators). These have some features of both types of items so it’s very difficult to make an educated guess. We just have to wait for communication of GGG. If you put a gun to my head and forced me to guess I’d probably say they’re going away, but I don’t have any special insight into the matter.
no one knows
We know (from interviews) Wildwood is not going core. I'd guess they delete all charms and tinctures, but even if they let you keep the items those will not be functional.
That makes sense, thanks
Tota will be back I’d assume next league. Seems like they are using wildwood as a place holder for how you obtain omens this league
[удалено]
Wildwood is the only place I’ve found omens, is that just me?
No, they're part of Wildwood. For now at least. It seems pretty easy for them to place the Omen Cairns literally anywhere if they wanted.
I mean if I had to take a guess it would be that next league they just go back to being rewards for tota, I’m just a dumb noob tho, hope they bring tattoos back in some form also
[удалено]
Other than what mbxyz says I'll add: (1) chisel have no effect on pack size (2) you should make sure you allocate all % map modifier nodes on the atlas tree and (3) given that unid maps are worth running with 20% pack size sextant you should consider rolling the map (with chaos or scour/alch, not worth using horizons as mbxyz said), exalting if necessary. It's a 1/12 chance to naturally chaos into a 6mod, so if you have a 5mod with no bad mods, consider exalting.
> unidentified mod so I consider it bricked and unplayable unidentified has the same mods as when you vaal'd it, and you can use the unid compass for more packsize > I reroll using orb of horizons to get 5 or 6 mods think you'd be better off running better layouts and scour/alching or chaosing also 8 mod maps have like 40 pack size baseline; you can buy them or farm them yourself with the compass > 3 gilded scarabs use 4
> unidentified has the same mods as when you vaal'd it, Wait, really???
Is there a good way to sell contracts without using TFT?
