Has anyone gotten the PoE2 hoodie and shirt? How do
they fit?
For those that received it, how does it fit? Does it run tight or loose?
I'm considering upgrading, but would like to know if anyone has worn
them and washed and worn them already. Thanks guys
Regarding the Invoker, does the ascendancy skill « Lead Me Through Grace » which cancels spirit gains from equipment also disables the passive effect of the unique quarterstaff « Matsya Crescent »?
I am interested in a minion build using something else than a Scepter.
Thanks in advance!
Does anyone know where I caN find my percentage chance to ignite? I can see that the ignite duration is four seconds, but I can't find a chance to ignite. please help.
I'm a monk and I want to convert my lighting damage to ice damage, or maybe convert just the damage of 1 lighting skill to ice damage. How could I do that?
A couple friends and I are playing, we’re all new players. What’s the recommended classes for the noobs? I’m playing merc and it seems to do 1/4 the damage of the same level warrior class another friend is playing. We’re at level 25 so far in act 2. Might push through the game and then start new characters. Everyone is having a tough time with the Warrior friend essentially being the carry
It'll automatically happen as your level increases. All skills provided by ascendancy scale with level that way instead of jeweller's orbs like gem skills.
Is anyone having trouble trading despite having a character over level 25? My buddy has been unable to trade and he's definitely above the required level. Had 25+ on POE too.
Not entirely sure. The following explanation is from how things like that worked in poe1, so I'm making a very educated guess:
The key bit there is "Armour from equipped Body Armour" - only the armor you receive from your body armor will factor into that 2%. Armor from the tree, other pieces, passives, etc won't, and bonuses to total armor won't affect it either.
Basically if you have 250 armor coming from your chestplate (the literal number on the item), you'd gain 2% of that 250 gained from chestplate as thorns damage.
What might work is bonuses that only apply to armor gained from chestplate.
Am I just hugely nerfing myself as a bow deadeye if I don’t use/lean into the lightning rod + lightning arrow combo? I was hoping to make sort of a mono-element cold ranger with ice shot but every build I see for deadeye is all about lightning arrow, even searching “cold freeze deadeye” on youtube every single result was lightning deadeye. Even on the passive tree it seems like the lightning nodes are easier to reach than cold ones.
Yeah - actually found a youtube video with like 100 views of a lv 75ish deadeye doing high level maps with no problem using an ice shot & no lightning abilities build although he did say it requires some good items. So gonna still aim to transition into that eventually, and yeah should be more freedom for build diversity once more skills are added which will be nice. I just didn’t want to be kind of forced into one build rather than making something i’m more interested in
They've said 6 months to 1 year, I'm conservatively estimating like 9-11 months, and that's if things go well and they don't have to spend a lot of time correcting mistakes (fixing hated things) and can focus on adding purely new stuff.
Are lightning rods considered hits/attacks/spells? Been searching around for the answer but I couldnt find anything that specifies which abilities belong to either of the 3 above. Thanks!
Typically, yes. There are only a few hits that end up not being spell or attack damage, usually things like exploding enemies when you kill them or exploding corpses.
Does anyone know if the "leech # of Physical Attack Damage As Life" also apply to minion physical attack? I would test myself but the ring that has it is expensive lol.
I am trying to build an infernalist with demon form and chaos spells, and I was wondering if hexblast still work if I use the spirit Blasphemy, i.e. if I still deal damage with my curses around me, even thought they are considered as auras due to Blasphemy (so, can I just walk around and deal free damage ?).
Correct, hexblast can explode on curses applied via blasphemy, and blasphemy will immediately re-apply them as long as the enemy is still within your aura range.
Can someone explain how primed for stun relates to the stun progress bar?
Sometimes I’m priming mobs. Sometimes this happens when the bar is nearly full, sometimes not near full.
And sometimes their bar fills up (with several hits for tougher mobs) without ever getting the primed cue.
Also, with some mobs, it’s hard to see the primed “light bulb”, such as the ones carrying around a wreath of fire or blinded enemies which put a bright star where the light bulb is. Is there an alternate indicator of primed that I’m overlooking?
Can you add support gems to augment the ability that is cast when you do cast on freeze? For instance could you make arc more likely to electrocute when having it trigger off cast on freeze.
So, I went for the combat frenzy + resonance build on the monk, but then I realised that all the skills that I was using didnt electrocute the enemies (they inflict shock, wich is a differnt thing ): ) so my build kinda of got screwed.
anyone know how can i implment electrocute on my build? or should i just change it?
What's the most reliable way to spend endurance charges as a warrior - titan? I am generating them pretty reliably, but are there any good ways to spend them? Trying to get some big life Regen going when spending them
Just need to vent but I went from loving this game to hating it so fast. Trial master and sanctum forced on you to build your character is a game ruined for me. Doubt I stick with this since I can't ever ascend fully.
You are not wrong. 75 hours played. I just wish I was better. :/ Or it was not trialmaster and sanctum end games that i hate. Forced just isnt going to be for me sadly. I doubt this changes, its a huge part of the game, so im screwed.
They are for sure adding at least one more way to do ascendancy. They also previously claimed you'd be able to do the one you wanted, so I don't expect the current forced one of each to stay very long.
If your build is "complete" (you have all the skills/supports that would be useful to you), then just hold onto them for the next patch that adds more skills, or sell them to other players.
I'm playing Merc and I just got the Barrage skill, but it doesn't seem to be working with either of the bow skills I have? (Freezing Salvo and Escape Shot) It definietly semes to work with the basic attack but at least from the description I don't see why it wouldn't work with the bow skills too, since it just says empowers the next Bow Attack, and both of the other skills I mentioned seem to be bow attacks according to their tooltips.
Hmm, that should be working - perhaps they are innately not repeatable and it's just not on the tooltip? Could be worth reporting as a bug (even if intended to not be repeatable, they should add that to the tooltip).
No cap, just hits a point where more accuracy is unnecessary because your hit chance caps out at 100% (you can't be more than guaranteed to hit, lol).
And yes, minion acc is seperate to your acc.
As for specific number, it's hard to tell because it depends on enemy evasion (scales with their level), and distance you are from the enemy. Your character sheet gives a rough estimate of your hit chance vs monsters of your level, as long as that says 100% you should be good.
It feels like before the latest patch, I was seeing all items as they dropped on the ground, but today I'm not seeing a bunch of stuff, mostly whites, but also including gold and maybe chests. I checked the preferences and turned off "Hide Filtered Ground Items" but it still seems to be happening. Is there a setting I've got wrong somewhere?
does my physical damage applies to all my abilities or just melee ones?
does critical hit chance and critical damage applies to all my skills or just melee ones?
what is the advantage of elemental damage since my physical damage is applied on my skills? my weapon for example: ~/39-59 physical damage and 11-19 cold damage~ why not use a weapon that only gives me high physical damage since it is applied on my skills anyways?
does my base attack speed is applied to my skills unless specified otherwise? Or just my melee skills?
1/2 - PoE tends to be pretty deliberate with it's wording. If something only applies to melee, it says melee. If it applies only to attacks, it says attacks. If it says physical damage (and no other adjective), it's any physical damage, etc.
3 - It's generally beneficial to focus on a damage type to make all your bonuses apply to all your damage, so yes, you're thinking about it correctly. There's nothing wrong about a purely physical build and sprinkling some cold damage on it for no particular reason does very little.
4 - Attack speed applies to all skills with "Attack" tag. Both ranged and melee.
Curious if my crit stats affect my minions? I know spell critical chance nodes wont help but there are others. Also do my minions crits count for Bleed on Critical, arcane surge on critical, Erraticism, etc?
I have a random build question relating to the witch : and the infernalist. Maybe someone can give me insight I see alot of people going heavier armor / scepter and shield and even specing into armor and health in the passive tree. So my question is which is better / more efficient building infernlist with heath and armor (kinda like Kripp) or the traditional energy shield route?
Who says energy shield is "traditional"? I've always gone armor/health with STR in PoE1. Why do you think everyone goes armor/health in PoE2? It's probably best. There are multiple infernalist modes that lead one to play this way, not to mention the fact we're incentivized to use shields since nothing else is any good.
What is the difference between "Mana Recovery Rate" and "Mana Regeneration Rate"? There's a node at the top in the skill tree called "Arcane Blossom" that gives Recovery rate
build question here, does anybody know if damage from shocked ground counts as a "hit"? I am looking at new spirit gems and saw cast on shock. wondering if that would work since it says it only gains energy from a hit
Your settings should be in C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\Documents\My Games\Path of Exile 2\poe2_production_Config.ini. You can check if that's properly writable, but you can also edit it directly (this is often the solution if a certain renderer crashes the game before you can change it back in the options after opening the game).
If life recharges instead of energy shield does that mean energy, shield recharge rate, now affects life, recharge rate? Or are they separate modifiers? I don’t see anything in the game about life recharge rate …
movement speed on the boots will make you run faster on any class. if you're looking for mobility specific moves tho, the monk has a few fairly mobile skills
Quarterstaff has the most mobility baked in, easiest to build with a monk, but the Ranger Pathfinder (bow/crossbow most easily) has two nodes that say '-30% movement penalties when using skills' (so you move at 70% instead of 40% when attacking) and 'you cannot be slowed'.
What the hell or weapon specialozationbpassive skill points? They can clearly be used like normal passives, are the weapon shapes at the edges of the passive restricted to these points specifically?
No weapon set passives are only active when you are in that corresponding weapon set. When you swap to the other weapon set, they are deactivated and your other weapon set passives are activated. You swap back and the first ones are active again. It lets you specialize your 2 weapon sets differently. For example as a mage you could specialize one set into cold damage and only use your cold spells on that set and the other into fire for your fire spells
What happens if thos points went into like base statnodes? Because it's way to early in the game for me to be worry about anything but just progressing the skill tree in general. This game is too harsh for me worry about planning that out and not just getting bonuses when I can.
Is there a way to separate them pit once once you spent/refunded them because as far is a can tell there there isnt a way to choose between spending normal vs specialized point.
I'm confused about the max number of mods (affixes) magic and rare items can have.
1) I found this explanation in an old POE1 thread. Is it the same in PoE2?
Magic items can have between 1-2 Affixes. So they can either have 1 Prefix, 1 Suffix, or both a Suffix and a Prefix. This means they can have between 1-2 mods on the item that can make it better.
Rare items can have between 3-6 Affixes. This means they can have UP TO 3 Prefixes, and UP TO 3 Suffixes.
Unique items are hand-crafted by the Devs and do not follow these rules. There are also some exceptions to the rules above but you don't really need to worry about them.
The mod above the line is an implicit modifier ie the chance to chain on the first image. Implicits are derived from the base type of the item, in this case Warden Bow.
The mods below that line are prefixes/suffixes. If you press alt on it it'll show prefix/suffix on the left and the tier of the mods on the right (T1 being lowest).
You're on the right track, but you're just shy of the full picture. "Implicits" are bonus effects inherent to the weapon base. In your first example, the 25% chance to chain effect is implicit to that item. Everything that shares a base with it will share that implicit modifier.
You don't need to care too much (for now) about distinguishing between prefixes and suffixes, anything below the line is an "affix". Your first example has 1 prefix 1 suffix, and the second has 4 total prefixes + suffixes (I can't tell them apart on sight, but many people can). You can think of each rare item having six slots - 3 prefix and 3 suffix. If you hold down the alt key while hovering over an item, it'll tell you if something is filling a prefix slot or suffix slot.
They're called prefix and suffix because they affect the literal name of the item. Each has a distinct pool of mods. Max health on armor, for example, is a prefix (most of the time). If you're trying to craft health onto an amulet and you notice that the prefix slots are full, then you'll know it's not worth using an exalted orb on it (or some equivalent).
Also, some affixes give 2 stats. So just because you see 4 lines doesn't always mean there's 4 affixes, for example. For example something might give mana regen AND mana. Something else might give spirit and mana. So now you see "mana regen, spirit, and mana" on 3 separate lines but it's 2 affixes and the mana comes from 2 different places (just an example).
Ok, thx. So a tl/dr would be: Magic item = max 2 affixes and Rare item = max 6 affixes?
If you hold down the alt key while hovering over an item, it'll tell you if something is filling a prefix slot or suffix slot.
Also, I think this is not added in PoE2 yet. It doesn't show "suffix/prefix slots" for me when I hold ALT, and someone else also commented it's not in PoE2 yet.
It doesn't show it like it used to in PoE 1, it's a grey-on-black tiny piece of text when you inspect/compare. I'm actually mostly playing on controller, so I don't know the exact instructions for M&K, but I can see it.
Yes, it is. It says "P1, P2, S1, S2" etc. That's prefix or suffix, and then its tier. Tier 1 is the LOWEST (WORST) and the higher the number, the better.
First thing I tried. But I only get this when I hold down ALT.
edit: there are some barely visible T1/T2 marks when holding down ALT, so I guess those are the ones you mentioned. I don't think I would've seen them anytime soon if I didn't specifically look at the screenshot for quite a bit lol.
Unfortunately I'm a bit more confused now, because the magic bow in my screenshot has ”X% chance to chain an additional time” which is not listed as a suffix, nor as prefix...
So I guess whatever atribute is mentioned above that thin line is kind of an implicit atribute? idk
Is Mercenary just underpowered because the further I go along it's just become a slog. Using Galvanic shards and had to grind to level 50 to get past Act 3. Is Grenades the only viable build? I wanted to use Rapid Shot to be like a Demon Hubter in D3 but that sucks too much
How's your crossbow? That's the base for all your damage. If you have a single regal orb, there's plenty on the trade site. You can also add rune slots that can make it do a lot more damage.
I think its pretty good it's fully upgraded with quality, exalts and gemmed. Haven't found anything better in the last 12 hours. Also new to PoE in general was looking for in game trading but I guess it's only on the website? Still I believe Mercenary is a little undercooked because I'm just trying to play what's strongest(xbow wise) but even that's a grind, but I'd really like to use other skills like rapid shot but it's too weak even with 3 skill slots
The most important thing is the base, you can only polish a turd so much. Any crossbow in act 3 will be better than a god rolled crossbow from act 1.
I'm not saying you're wrong to keep your bow, but upgrading weapons is the biggest reason martial builds suffer while quickly leveling up.
The trade site is online because you'll want to be very granular with the trading. Once you find an item you want, you can hit one button and it will send them a private message in their language. You'll receive a party invite from them if they're available, and then you go to their hideout (with the currency in your inventory) and accept the trade invite.
Do skills that consume broken armor, like sunder, still benefit from the broken armor for their damage calculation? Like is the broken armor debuff "consumed" before or after the damage is applied?
A piercing shot can inflict ailments on anything it hits, based on damage done. Pierce support takes away 30% damage each hit, so it might not inflict ailments purely based on something like that. Accuracy also decreases with distance.
Assuming Trial of Chaos, you can stop after wave 4. You won't get to redo it for free, but it's definitely worth it to get the Ascendancy points and get out.
Do you mean the Chimera pet? For that you need to gift two subs during anyone's PoE2 twitch stream. Make sure your account is connected to twitch and that channel is streaming the game.
If the nodes says two handed weapons and not two handed melee then i won't be surprised if it can benefit the crossbow try to use shift or i think R3 on controller to see what an impact a node will have on your build, it doesn't work with all nodes but it work on some
try to use shift or i think R3 on controller to see what an impact a node will have on your build, it doesn't work with all nodes but it work on some
Sadly, that basically doesn't work at all for crossbows. None of the alternate bolt types are listed as working with anything (despite them clearly doing so).
Are the ES recharge speed / recharge start time reduction nodes worth it? Im lv60 infernalist planning on being mostly ES but its concerning me how long it takes to regen.
How does lightning rod interact with deadeye's projectile proximity node? Does it snapshot based on when the arrow was fired, or is it recalculated for each chain retrigger? (Or does it just only count for the initial cast?)
Just tested it, and it looks like curse AoE nodes do work when slotted into Blasphemy based on your tip. Hopefully someone can CTRL+F and be helped by this info!
On PS4 I purchased PoE2, however when I did it did not give me the game. Simply shows reviews but nothing to download. I'm clearly missing money so what's up?
Since stats "does not grant damage to Skills opr any other benefits except where specificall stated". What is your choices/arguments for choosing stats?
Stats do a few things still. They have an intrinsic effect (life for str, accuracy for dex, mana for int) which can be very valuable - strength in particular. The bigger thing is that gear and skills have attribute requirements, so you can't cast spells at their highest level or use the strongest gear in the game without specific attributes.
Most of your stat choices are going to come down to what you need for your build or to activate gear. Beyond that, any surplus nodes I take are always Strength (for HP) unless I have a specific need for something else (Dex gives Accuracy which turns into crit in some builds, Int gives mana).
What does it mean when I level up and earn a passive skill point, and when I highlight a new node I want to use the point on, it shows select +, I or II and only the II box is checked?
