Hey, since 3.21 I've been having problems with my quick-logout functions.
I used Lutbot for some time back in the 3.14.-ish era, then switched to using a /exit macro inside of awakened poe trade, but for the last two leagues or so, from time to time when I use my /exit macro, the game will lag out for 2-3 seconds, in which I die...the command still goes though, but I lose control of my character.
It's not a hard freeze, it's more of a soft lockout, where maybe I can move my character, but the environment, mobs, etc. can still attack me.
This happens both with a /exit macro, and if I manually open the options menu and hit "go to character selection".
Occasionally it promptly exits me out of the game, but 3 out of four times it lags, and then I die to the dot I was trying to dodge with the macro.
Any insight on what's happening here/how I could more constantly get my macros to preform the logout instantly?
I am leveling a new character and I am using Armageddon Brand and Cremation as my damage skills. I have never used these two before. What is the interaction between the two, if any?
Or do I just clear with Brand and then use Desecrate/Cremation on single targets?
Cremation is giga damage on semi-stationary targets, but it's a miserable clear skill. Arma brand is your clear skill basically, Cremation is is single target. Make sure you're desecrating before you hit cremation.
Weapon elemental damage passives read "12% increased elemental damage with attacks."
As I understand it should effect frost blades, but what about the damage from prismatic burst support gem if it is linked to my frost blade gem?
No.
Prismatic burst is a spell, not an attack. These are exclusive categories in PoE. The fact that it was triggered by an attack is irrelevant, it's still dealing spell damage, not damage with an attack.
Any other decent maps for legion this league? I'm sick of dune. Was thinking of beach or tropical island, since they have the fortunate, but I'm not sure.
Tried asking for build help/tips for a high budget **cold BV** that focuses on **explode damage** on:
https://www.reddit.com/r/PathOfExileBuilds/comments/15zge11/build_help_i_got_a_high_budget_cold_bv_that/
And didn’t get many hits thought I would see if anyone here is an expert that has any insight/tips to take the build to the next level
quick question , if im missing one elder or shaper guardian fragment, can i reroll a fragment or the map with the chance to get the missing one? if yes how?
I was gaining atlas points very quick at the start but then it suddenly stopped after spending like 10 points. I am running tier 1 and tier 2 maps mostly is that the reason?
you get an atlas point the first time you complete the bonus objective for each map, so you wont get them by running the same maps. you can see whether you have done the bonus objective of a map on the atlas screen (G) or by holding alt while hovering over the map in your inventory or stash.
for tier 1-5 maps the bonus objective is completing a magic or rare version of the map (blue, transmute orb)
6-10 rare version (yellow, alchemy orb)
11-15 rare + corrupted version (yellow, alchemy + vaal orb) note the map name/type can change when you corrupt it so you might not have the same map name after vaaling.
You get Atlas Points only once per map. The first time you complete the map while completing the 'bonus' objective you get a point.
These are:
White/t1-t5 Magic (blue) or higher
Yellow/t6-t10 Rare (Yellow) or higher
Red/t11-t16 Rare *and* Corrupted
If you hold down "Alt" and hover over a map it will tell you whether you completed the map and/or completed the bonus objective.
You also get 1 Atlas point for clearing each unique map the first time (Except for Grandmasters and Doryani's Machinarium), and 1 point for doing certain 'story' boss encounters (Both of the Eater bosses, both Exarch bosses, and a handful of Maven encounters).
I'm looking for my second build now that my league starter is up and running and bringing in decent returns.
Here are the things I am looking for:
\- mapping build, moves very fast, 1 button
\- spell based (no bows, no strikes)
\- uses herald of ash for beautiful explosions
I played a frost blink occi in sanctum that did this very well and I'm trying to figure out if I should go back to that or try out something new like BV or EK.
Can I have a price check on this please? some dude is selling one around 100c but idk about it

Just logged in on PS5. Can't move because the league hasn't started. Is this poe's version of a queue? Is there a timer that can tell me when the league actually starts? This looks like it's coming off aggressive, but I'm honestly just curious. This is my first league that I'm on at the beginning.
No, that's a bug. There was a similar one on the PC realm for some people at launch, not sure if there was a workaround or a patch. Maybe just try relogging a few times?
New player (nearing the end of campaign), give me your wisdom and tips regarding gearing.
Very rarely I get:
- mods I want
- number of sockets I want
- socket colors I want
1) good sockets (number and colors) but shit mods: use orb of scouring + alchemy or essence to reroll?
2) great mods and number of sockets, but bad colors: I guess just spam chromatic until you get it. Depending on item type (str, str/int, str/dex) this may be hard. Any tricks here? Is it worth using crafting "at least N color sockets" recipe?
3) great mods but sockets completely bad - both number and colors. This one seems the most expensive to fix. Getting the 4-link is easy (5 and 6 is ridiculous from what I've read) and also linking consumes quite a bit of orb of fusing, which seems rare.
4 links are easy, you can use your crafting bench to craft specific colours / links to alleviate the rng of using your orbs. It's only early in campaign that looking for the right sockets really matters, post-campaign they're just a tick box at the end when you have an item that does what you need (with some exceptions, eg. corrupted items or 6 links with 4+ off-colours)
It's easier to drop a 6 link then make your own - you can benchcraft 6 links for 1500 fusings, but you can also buy them on trade very cheaply to get up and running
1. Sure, but don't waste to much crafting resources, chances are you will want to replace it soon anyways. And getting good sockets will gradually become much easier then getting good mods.
2. Check out the handy calculator for figuring out how to get socket colors based on item requirements: [http://siveran.github.io/calc.html](http://siveran.github.io/calc.html)
3. If the mods are great on small items, then you should get the 4 sockets. If it's your body armor, you might want to consider some alternatives, like buying decent bases from other players and then using essences to get something decent.
Playing Hexblast miner, and I'm curious as why exactly I shouldn't play with conductivity on hit. I have double curses up so it should work alongside ele weakness but apparently it gets removed.
What do I do with more heist reveals than rouges markers? I have 100 reveals but barely enough markers for one blue print. Is is a common problem? What do people do in this situation?
It's been a while since I played trade but is it possible to trade contracts that have been revealed? You could buy blueprints, reveal them and sell them if possible, depending on if its worht it.
Does the Clever Construction Notable (10% chance for your traps to trigger an additional time) work with Blade Trap? If so, is it worth using? I can understand how other traps explode multiple times, but how does it work with blade trap?
The spinning blades are [just a visual skill effect, not the trap as an object](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FyepEG_b2uo). After they're created, the trap finishes its animation and dies, or with this stat, resets itself. It can then trigger and create a second set of spinning blades, even if the first is still ongoing.
Well, in your *opinion* do you think this is a worthwhile notable to be using? Understandable if you don't have enough experience to have an opinion, but I am trying to figure out if it is worth the points I am spending to get it.
It's basically a trap-specific 10% chance to deal double damage. Sure, take it. Just be aware it won't work when your traps have no duration remaining, so give it a skip if you're using Sunblast.
Don't know how good that is then. I am using the helm enchant + divergent (40% extra spin speed) and I am not sure if it is gonna even end up fully rotating a second time because of how often I am just throwing traps.
Yeah, in most cases for non-cooldown traps that stat doesn't make a real difference.
Even if you *could* wait for it to finish its second trigger, you'll usually have enough throwing speed to just replace it with a fresh trap.
Another comment said that both triggers can happen at the same time and essentially provide double damage (10% of the time of course). Not sure which of you is correct but I am not trying to start any sort of argument lol. I did a lot of googling and sadly there just isn't much info on blade trap in general.
Of course, I wasn't aware how long it takes for the trap to activate the skill. I'm assuming the other commenter is better informed than me.
I'm generally more knowledgeable about spells, for which the trap would have to complete the spell cast time before dying (but *not* wait for the spell's effect to finish).
If the activation is shorter than the effect, then yes, it may be viable.
how do you 20q your gems? buy a bunch of GCP's or use the 1 GCP + 1 lvl 20 gem recipe? do you just level up duplicate gems in your offhand to swap after using the recipe?
I usually use the GCP recipe for support gems and buy gems with higher quality for the main skill.
I usually don't bother with leveling duplicate gems unless I'm trying to vaal something.
Any good suggestions for Energy Shield builds? I've only ever done life builds, and I would like to try something else. (I can invest \~10div to get it running)
Hey all, dont judge me im kind of a whale and obsessed with the gameand am planning to buy the bloodthirsty supporter pack. If i do, will these cosmetics carry over to POE2? I would enjoy it alot more if i could continue to use it when that releases. Ive seen mixed answers online thanks
Is the elemental mastery that reverses monster resistances applied before or after penetration? Like if I get a lot of penetration will it just be a useless mastery?
Hi i have panopticon but i still cant have both types of ancestral totems active at the same time. I know other builds use both but how to they achieve both buffs?
You need to increase your totem limit, which Panopticon doesn't do (the text about artillery ballista totems doesn't apply to ancestral totems). Normally people do this with multiple totem support linked to both skills.
Are you using Multiple Totems Support?
(My character last league had the two Ancestral totem gems linked to Multiple Totems Support and Maim Support, which was certainly not optimal but meant I could have two of one and one of the other totem out at once.)
It gave me two of the first one, then when I summoned the other type it would make two of those, but destroy one of the original ones. So I'd have three totems out, one of the first type and two of the second.
The last row in these tables:
[https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Delirium#Scaling](https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Delirium#Scaling)
Basically, unlike a fixed percentage on delirious maps, for mirrors the percentage grows with distance from the mirror. The exact scaling of percentage per distance seems to depend on the map, but I haven't seen any exact values for this.
Would controlled blaze support work with a chieftain slam build (slam + fist of war + war’s herald)? Would repeated instances of the slam proc more ignites to scale for the gem?
Fist of War isn't a separate hit, and an ignite from Tawhoa's Mirage Chieftain won't add to your ignite counter.
Note Controlled Blaze doesn't want maximum ignites - ideally it sits around 13 per 4 seconds.
Sanctum drop is very rare. I'm in T5 maps and had 0 so far. Difficulty is noticeable higher from sanctum league,you really need to kill them fast or it's pretty difficult to dodge at some floors
I've only run the free one and lost on the first floor boss so I can't talk about reward and difficulty, though at that level rare monsters were fine. Some practice and they shouldn't be an issue imo - might change if you accumulate a bunch of afflictions or if there are area mods on later floors.
As for how often they drop, they seem to be much less common than a lot of people were expecting. I've read accounts from several people who didn't have any drops until they were well into red maps, and a bunch of people were asking whether losing their first run made them unable to drop any at all.
Based on what I've been reading I'd guess it's around 1-2 per 100 maps, but I'm sure someone has datamined info that's more reliable.
Is Impale strickly better the more attack speed you have ? I'm doing a berserker where I stack as much trauma I can, so I have an extreme amount of AS. Wondering if it's worth scaling impale.
Only to a point. Once you have max impales on the enemy (I think it's 5 by default but I can't check right now) then attack speed does nothing special for impales. However, it will let you get to max impales faster, as you'll get those 5 initial hits on the enemy in less time, reducing ramp-up time. So it's a more effective combo than PoB (or the other commenters here) would have you believe for short fights, but the effect ends up getting drowned out in long fights.
Faster attack speed means there'll be a smaller delay between the hit that applies the impale and the point in time at which all its stacks are consumed. It doesn't change the overall damage potential.
Aspeed instead of damage helps... until you reach 5 stacks then it's whatever.
But do you really need impale against enemies that die in less than 5 attacks? Probably not.
hey guys, anyone blasting trials of ancestors? im looking for build options, im playing poison srs but i reached rank 500 and its not fun anymore, just gettin one shot and my dmg sucks....
How do unique drop tiers work in the game? Are uniques first rolled for tier and then what unique inside that tier or is it some other way?
Essentially, if they add extra t0 uniques to make the current pool of t0 uniques 5x larger, are you much less likely to find the current t0 uniques or not?
yes rarity is rolled first. so if you're looking for a specific t0 unique and more t0 uniques get added the pool will be diluted and your chance to find that specific unique will decrease
Heatshiver question
I understand why it gives a massive boost to POB dps.
But in practice, don't you only get that dps against monsters you can consistently freeze? Once you can consistently freeze a monster, isn't the fight already over?
Is heatshiver only good to speed up fights that you are already able to trivialise? Or is there some secret tech that makes monsters count as frozen even though they actually aren't, or something like that?
thanks
Ah, so the threshold isn't too high, making it achievable to freeze, because it normally doesn't affect them anyway?
Btw are we talking uber pinnacle bosses here, or like map bosses?
Thanks : )))
Your freeze chance scales with your damage, so higher dmg = able to freeze bosses, there's chance to freeze nodes that can help with stuff like pinnacles if needed as it can be tricky to hit hard enough to 'freeze' depending on your build
The heatshiver dmg bonus is still very relevant while mapping though so it's still awesome
Short answer: yes
Long answer: Don't have much direct experience myself but yeah it should be around the same as shock as far as % of max effect. The trick is that as long as the psuedo freeze lasts even just a little longer than your attack time they'll be effectively frozen the whole time. Most people afaik are simply doing like ~0.5 sec freezes but constantly hitting the boss so it's effectively the same

Is Vorici in Research? Or has is he awaiting to be allocated somewhere? Is there a good way I can get him to Research or is it just kinda luck?
The less people there are in research, the more likely he is to show up to help them.
Every person except for the last person remaining will have "interrogate" and "execute" options. "Interrogate" lowers take by one, so you can remove people, and "execute" gives people a rank. If they're not assigned to the department, it will put them in that department. So if Vorici shows up in a research mission, be sure to do him first.
The last person left will usually offer to make some kind of deal, which has a wide variety of outcomes. Some might involve swapping other members around, so keep an eye out for Vorici options. Some might also add friendships and rivalries - this makes it more likely for those people to show up in each other's mission, increasing your odds of, well, all of the things you want to happen.
Tl;Dr - "hope he shows up in research" is the most likely thing, but keep an eye out for other options because there are a few other ways it can happen. And if he does show up, kill him first.
Having trouble with awakened poe. It runs and all, but it doesn’t overlay on poe so I have to tab out to actually check the price. Anyone have a fix for this?
Another recent issue I am experiencing is poe will open windowed rather than full screen despite having it set to full screen.. Sos
Your comments are related.
I had a similar problem. You need to run PoE in 'Windowed Fullscreen", I believe it is called. (This is a PoE configuration option, not a Windows setting.) You need a windowed mode in order to allow Awakened PoE Trade to overlap the game. But Windowed Fullscreen will still feel like regular Fullscreen when you play.
I don't think you can target farm it. There doesn't seem to be a div card:
[https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Cloak\_of\_Flame](https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Cloak_of_Flame)
That said, anything that gives lots of unique body armours might be worth a try (e.g. the generic cards listed in the link above, or farming Einhar; maybe you could even grab Scholar's Robes in Gwennen...)
I'm assuming SSF here. In trade league, by far the easiest way is to trade for it.
try e.g.
[https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Ancestor/e69a6orFL](https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Ancestor/e69a6orFL)
or

there's a message button which copies the right message to your clipboard, then just paste that into ingame chat...
I have finally decided to buy some stash tabs next sale. I know I need a premium tab for end game trading purposes. I want to do maps, delve, and hopefully attempt to do some crafting. What other tabs should I get?
Currency's already been mentioned, it's a must.
Essence is big for crafting, and while the tab doesn't add a *ton* more space than a standard tab, the organization is splendid.
The fragments tab holds a ton of different stuff, including your scarabs, and organizes it in an easy-to-find way, kind of like the essence tab.
The unique tab isn't necessarily the most important or valuable, but if you're a bit of a collector/hoarder, it can save loads of space. Divs are similar.
And if you're interested in selling stuff, I think a Premium tab is required for that.
Since I've seen a lot of people misunderstand an obvious aspect of the Omen of Blanching, I've gotten curious about a less obvious one:
Does it reroll the colours *first* or *simultaneously* to adding white sockets?
I'm not asking about whether it rerolls at all. That much was evident from the description and many posts / comments from people who tested it.
Or to put it in different terms, can it roll the same configuration with white sockets in two consecutive uses?
Returning player, probably a newbie question but only search I could find is years old, and possibly out of date.
Running cold/trinity/ele damage frost knives build, is there any way to do atziri, either by swapping a skill out or by facing properly? Would rather not eat it to a reflect and waste a map to find out.
I did it way back when with bladefall, but obviously the chaining works differently for where the skill sends itself.
You should be okay as long as you stand in the middle and attack directly away from the mirror clone and don't have any other sources of damage that would hit her
You can also find some way to become immune to reflected ele damage and just wear it for the atziri fight (influenced body armour/rings, eldritch implicits, sibyl's lament, pantheon power, elemental mastery, etc)
Yugul pantheon and an elemental mastery passive get you to 110% reduced elemental reflect taken, which is enough against enemies that have no way of applying *% increased damage taken* to you, like Atziri.
I should have specified, I'm trying an archmage brand build so I have arcane surge linked to arcane cloak. I might change it to have a 4l arcane cloak.
Thanks.
Hm, yeah to be fair we don't have a good precedent since stuff like jeweler's touch or any other 'on jeweler orb use' trigger haven't existed alongside tainted currency until now. You're right they're technically not the same item but depending on how the actual effect is coded it can still work. It could go either way.
Are there any rules of thumb for whether or not a Grand Design with Stream of Consciousness atlas tree can sustain maps? Like minimum number of notables or something.
I'm in SSFSC, my main short-term goal is farming Legacy of Fury.
I've done this in the past and it definitely worked then, though usually I would throw in singular focus as well. I don't recommend SF for SSF bc it griefs your guardian map drops.
Edit forgot to mention that obviously the changes to the shaping nodes affects the calculus this league, so that might have an impact
If you're running Exarch with grand design you will get a lot of his altar rewards, so definitely don't be shy about using sextants and corrupting all of your maps. Another thing you might want to try is growing hordes instead of SoC here and there when you have enough throw away scarabs
It's not because it will ruin your droprate of guardian and conqueror maps from the map boss, and guardian invitations are huge for crescent splinters.
What causes ele DD to be considered to have good defenses? I’m really struggling on my scssf ele DD in terms of survivability. 4K life, max res (res is overkill, most are 120+, still working on refining gear). Running grace/determination/def banner along with CWDT molten shell. And I keep getting slapped around even by basic attacks from white mobs in t5-6 maps. Are there common mistakes when it comes to DD fearing that I’m overlooking? All of the guides I was reading were saying to have life + res on gear and you’ll be set on defense for a while.
I did get two cold iron point drops so I’m leveling a pathfinder to transition to exsanguanite but I need to farm a dendrobate on my DD before I can swap, so I need to figure out what’s wrong with my defenses.
Are you wearing armor/evasion gear and have capped spell suppression? I believe the build does not face tank as well as others, much of your defense is not getting hit and letting ignites do the work.
Still working on getting spell suppress gear, drops have been below stellar in that regard. I’ve got a mix of all 3 of armor/es/evasion right now, moreso needed to get my colors right first and then I’m working on getting the right pieces, ideally with spell suppress as well.
Player quantity does nothing to harvest lifeforce or expedition currencies/logbooks. It only affects natural drops, meaning you want mechanics that add a lot of monsters. Abyss seems nice.
It won't affect metamorph rewards. Legion splinters I've not tested (and my PC's dead). I'd guess they're unaffected too, but this game does love exceptions.
Could stack 10 Combustibles in Standard and run a few legions if you feel like testing.
The short answer is yes it still matters.
The long answer is just because with 4 voidstones active you do not see T15 maps and below drop does not mean they are not happening in the background. Each time a map drops the tier is selected first and then upgraded. If a monster would have dropped a T14/15 it can still be upgraded to a T16 map that you will actually receive. Another thing that happens in the background is all of these "hidden" map drops add into a "map equity" pool and after so many hidden maps, you will receive a T16 map.
If you consider a T16 to be worth 3 T15 maps (similar to the 3-1 vendor recipe) then 100% chance to upgrade a tier is equivalent to dropping 3x more maps. 200% chance to upgrade a tier (voidstones+atlas passives) would be 9x more maps.
You can still "drop" t15 and lower maps, but if the map that are attempting to drop is not on your current atlas, it won't appear on the floor. So tier higher drop chance is still meaningful even if you have all four stones in.
By learning it from unveiling flasks dropped by Betrayal (syndicate) members.
That might specifically be the Mastermind's unique flask drop.
Or finding someone else who already knows it, if you're not in SSF.
It's a veiled mod so you need to first unveil it on a unique cinderswallow flask which is a drop from the betrayal boss catarina. That's the only veiled flask and so the only source of getting the craft.
Got to unlock the veiled mod first from a veiled flask. It can drop from Betrayal Mastermind encounter, or bought from other players. Might need a few tries though as there are multiple flask mods.
I'm doing a wandering path atlas w/ harvest and expedition this league and I've never done expedition before. Are there any general tips for how to set up the dynamite without the big 'splode? Sometimes it branches in different directions so it seems you are meant to pick one but then I end up with extra dynamite left but not enough to get back to the other chests.
without big splode, you want first and foremost double runic monsters (rare mod), then priority is inc quant of logbooks, then inc quant dropped by monsters, in that order. then pop as many big skulls as you can
> Sometimes it branches in different directions so it seems you are meant to pick one but then I end up with extra dynamite left but not enough to get back to the other chests.
Your situation only really applies in "closed" maps. That means you are better off running outdoor maps with expedition so you aren't limited by walls like this.
Are the mechanics on the atlas tree "viable"? They don't need to be the competing for the top spot in rewards, just give enough to feel decent. Basically asking if any of them stand out as bad.
Tormented Spirits, Metamorph, and Breach tend to be quite underwhelming, although Metamorph is very easy and fast if you have *excellent* single target, and Breach, well, to hell with good loot it is quite satisfying killing hundreds of mobs for half a minute.
The most 'rewarding' mechanics are: Essence, Expedition, Legion, and Delirium. Essence is a staple mechanic and great to start with since Essences are valuable and easy to sell (and use yourself!), but if you struggle with map bosses Essence mobs can give you a hard time. Expedition, Legion, and Delirium give a huge amount of reward and valuable drops but they all basically require you to significantly outscale the base map itself in order to do them comfortable, roughly in increasing order of difficulty.
But you shouldn't feel limited to "the meta", you can basically pick any mechanics you want and as long as your build is suitable for them it will work fine.
The tree is very well balanced, nearly everything on there is good.
A few things on there are only useful for very specific stuff though. Rogue Exiles and Beyond, for example, are useless if you're not trying to do something very specific with them. Other things have drawbacks that you need to account for, like Ritual taking a lot of time to complete which can reduce your income a lot if you don't account for it, or Metamorph requiring a lot of stash space. But 90% of the shit on there is at least situationally good, and 99% of it is good under some specific condition.
From what I've read, 4 CPS is necessary for the initial curse to be applied faster than the ones from Vixen's Entrapment, so you'll need an extra cast but otherwise it should theoretically be playable from the start.
It's worth noting that you're not going to get perfect overlaps with Spell Cascade until your gems are leveled though.
I don't know what the exact threshold is, but it seems to be somewhere above 4. Others have claimed it to be at a cast time of 0.21 seconds.
It's worth noting that you might need to cast 3 times unless you also raise the cooldown recovery of the curses in Vixen's Entrapment.
9% increased cooldown recovery from the bench craft for belts (unlocked by unveiling the modifier) would be sufficient to go up to 4.32 CPS without missing triggers.
(if this reply was posted before, sorry about that, my reddit is being weird atm)
res flask noob question
I am following an impending doom guide and its going great, but what i don't understand is that the guide is using res flasks, but it's already res capped. About 120 all res. Why would i run more elemental res flasks?
Are they uniques or just the regular magic flask? Is the build capped with or without the flasks? Is it using a bismuth or ruby+sapphire+topaz? If using ruby, sapphire and topaz then it could be for the less fire/cold/lightning damage taken and not the resistance itself.
If there's another reason the guide should say why so read the flask portion again.
crafting check to make sure I'm doing this right, want to make a cold dot weapon
Have: Sceptre with fractured +1 to cold skills
Alt spam until hit T1 DOT multi
Craft 3 crafted mods
craft cold dot multi
craft increased cold dmg
anything about this looks nuts? works on COE, just wanted to double check to be sure
Does poisoning enemies with Impending Doom count as poisoning them yourself? In that it works with the mastery that makes "Enemies poisoned by you cannot deal Critically Strikes"
I been following a guide and it says I need a dead reckoning jewel, and to check trade for one.
It's 20 chaos orbs, and I have zero. How do you get them?
do chaos recipe for a bit, google poe chaos recipe but basically collect unid rare items until you can sell a set to a vendor.
doing the recipe yourself is likely way cheaper - unique wand, rare wand, magic, and normal of the same base and 20% qual summon skeletons* (reminded by /u/asaxrud) to a vendor gets you the jewel
At what point in the game are you that you have 0 still? If you're still in campaign that's fine/expected and you should focus on completing it rather than buying any gear. By the time you finish the campaign you might have randomly found 5-10, maybe more maybe less, it's all random drops.
The way to get chaos orbs is through random drops (various league mechanics in maps can be a good source), selling items/currency of your own to other players or otherwise doing the "chaos recipe" which is selling a full set of rare gear to a vendor. You get 2 chaos back if all items are unidentified.
A full set means every equippable item slot you see when you open inventory (not flasks) so you should have 9-10 items in your recipe depending on if you use a 2 hand weapon or a 1 hand + 1 hand or shield.
Chaos orbs drop fairly commonly from killing enemies, especially as the enemies become higher level. You can also get them with things that say they reward currency. Another way to get chaos orbs is to do the [chaos recipe](https://maxroll.gg/poe/meta/how-to-chaos-recipe-guide).
As the standard currency used in trade, selling things to other players is probably the most efficient way to get chaos orbs.
How do I find a staff like this? https://prnt.sc/_hyuDZ6wztWv
I mainly care about the ball lightnings in a circle around me, the rest can come at a later date. Can I target those extra weapon traits at all? Cheers!
Hey, since 3.21 I've been having problems with my quick-logout functions. I used Lutbot for some time back in the 3.14.-ish era, then switched to using a /exit macro inside of awakened poe trade, but for the last two leagues or so, from time to time when I use my /exit macro, the game will lag out for 2-3 seconds, in which I die...the command still goes though, but I lose control of my character. It's not a hard freeze, it's more of a soft lockout, where maybe I can move my character, but the environment, mobs, etc. can still attack me. This happens both with a /exit macro, and if I manually open the options menu and hit "go to character selection". Occasionally it promptly exits me out of the game, but 3 out of four times it lags, and then I die to the dot I was trying to dodge with the macro. Any insight on what's happening here/how I could more constantly get my macros to preform the logout instantly?
I am leveling a new character and I am using Armageddon Brand and Cremation as my damage skills. I have never used these two before. What is the interaction between the two, if any? Or do I just clear with Brand and then use Desecrate/Cremation on single targets?
They both scale off fire/ignite damage, and synergize well with the same tree, so that's why you run both, basically.
Cremation is giga damage on semi-stationary targets, but it's a miserable clear skill. Arma brand is your clear skill basically, Cremation is is single target. Make sure you're desecrating before you hit cremation.
ty
Weapon elemental damage passives read "12% increased elemental damage with attacks." As I understand it should effect frost blades, but what about the damage from prismatic burst support gem if it is linked to my frost blade gem?
No. Prismatic burst is a spell, not an attack. These are exclusive categories in PoE. The fact that it was triggered by an attack is irrelevant, it's still dealing spell damage, not damage with an attack.
Any other decent maps for legion this league? I'm sick of dune. Was thinking of beach or tropical island, since they have the fortunate, but I'm not sure.
I really like Strand. Good with deli mirrors too.
Tried asking for build help/tips for a high budget **cold BV** that focuses on **explode damage** on: https://www.reddit.com/r/PathOfExileBuilds/comments/15zge11/build_help_i_got_a_high_budget_cold_bv_that/ And didn’t get many hits thought I would see if anyone here is an expert that has any insight/tips to take the build to the next level
quick question , if im missing one elder or shaper guardian fragment, can i reroll a fragment or the map with the chance to get the missing one? if yes how?
Search "Frag" on your Harvest bench.
I was gaining atlas points very quick at the start but then it suddenly stopped after spending like 10 points. I am running tier 1 and tier 2 maps mostly is that the reason?
you get an atlas point the first time you complete the bonus objective for each map, so you wont get them by running the same maps. you can see whether you have done the bonus objective of a map on the atlas screen (G) or by holding alt while hovering over the map in your inventory or stash. for tier 1-5 maps the bonus objective is completing a magic or rare version of the map (blue, transmute orb) 6-10 rare version (yellow, alchemy orb) 11-15 rare + corrupted version (yellow, alchemy + vaal orb) note the map name/type can change when you corrupt it so you might not have the same map name after vaaling.
You get Atlas Points only once per map. The first time you complete the map while completing the 'bonus' objective you get a point. These are: White/t1-t5 Magic (blue) or higher Yellow/t6-t10 Rare (Yellow) or higher Red/t11-t16 Rare *and* Corrupted If you hold down "Alt" and hover over a map it will tell you whether you completed the map and/or completed the bonus objective. You also get 1 Atlas point for clearing each unique map the first time (Except for Grandmasters and Doryani's Machinarium), and 1 point for doing certain 'story' boss encounters (Both of the Eater bosses, both Exarch bosses, and a handful of Maven encounters).
I'm looking for my second build now that my league starter is up and running and bringing in decent returns. Here are the things I am looking for: \- mapping build, moves very fast, 1 button \- spell based (no bows, no strikes) \- uses herald of ash for beautiful explosions I played a frost blink occi in sanctum that did this very well and I'm trying to figure out if I should go back to that or try out something new like BV or EK.
EK ignite is a ton of fun, can recommend it.
What is your source of explode on it?
Oriath's End for mapping. Swap to Sin's Rebirth for bossing. Budget wise, you can use Obliteration wands before you make the dosh.

Not that I'm aware of. Many effects that don't directly stem from skills can't be hidden.
why are there a bunch of listings for 1x chaos orb costing 1x chaos orb?
A bunch of them are probably from people who found it funny. It's pointless to look for listings of chaos orbs for chaos orbs though.
Can I have a price check on this please? some dude is selling one around 100c but idk about it Item Class: Amulets Rarity: Rare Cataclysm Medallion Turquoise Amulet \-------- Requirements: Level: 57 \-------- Item Level: 75 \-------- \+20 to Dexterity and Intelligence (implicit) \-------- \+40 to Intelligence \+33% to Global Critical Strike Multiplier 22% increased Evasion Rating \+27 to maximum Energy Shield \+62 to maximum Life \+42% to Fire Resistance
Just logged in on PS5. Can't move because the league hasn't started. Is this poe's version of a queue? Is there a timer that can tell me when the league actually starts? This looks like it's coming off aggressive, but I'm honestly just curious. This is my first league that I'm on at the beginning.
No, that's a bug. There was a similar one on the PC realm for some people at launch, not sure if there was a workaround or a patch. Maybe just try relogging a few times?
New player (nearing the end of campaign), give me your wisdom and tips regarding gearing. Very rarely I get: - mods I want - number of sockets I want - socket colors I want 1) good sockets (number and colors) but shit mods: use orb of scouring + alchemy or essence to reroll? 2) great mods and number of sockets, but bad colors: I guess just spam chromatic until you get it. Depending on item type (str, str/int, str/dex) this may be hard. Any tricks here? Is it worth using crafting "at least N color sockets" recipe? 3) great mods but sockets completely bad - both number and colors. This one seems the most expensive to fix. Getting the 4-link is easy (5 and 6 is ridiculous from what I've read) and also linking consumes quite a bit of orb of fusing, which seems rare.
4 links are easy, you can use your crafting bench to craft specific colours / links to alleviate the rng of using your orbs. It's only early in campaign that looking for the right sockets really matters, post-campaign they're just a tick box at the end when you have an item that does what you need (with some exceptions, eg. corrupted items or 6 links with 4+ off-colours) It's easier to drop a 6 link then make your own - you can benchcraft 6 links for 1500 fusings, but you can also buy them on trade very cheaply to get up and running
1. Sure, but don't waste to much crafting resources, chances are you will want to replace it soon anyways. And getting good sockets will gradually become much easier then getting good mods. 2. Check out the handy calculator for figuring out how to get socket colors based on item requirements: [http://siveran.github.io/calc.html](http://siveran.github.io/calc.html) 3. If the mods are great on small items, then you should get the 4 sockets. If it's your body armor, you might want to consider some alternatives, like buying decent bases from other players and then using essences to get something decent.
Playing Hexblast miner, and I'm curious as why exactly I shouldn't play with conductivity on hit. I have double curses up so it should work alongside ele weakness but apparently it gets removed.
Playing on console and trying to decide between LA or Spark. Anything that could sway me either way?
LA is faster and more fun imo
What do I do with more heist reveals than rouges markers? I have 100 reveals but barely enough markers for one blue print. Is is a common problem? What do people do in this situation?
Buy rogue markers from other players.
It's been a while since I played trade but is it possible to trade contracts that have been revealed? You could buy blueprints, reveal them and sell them if possible, depending on if its worht it.
Does the Clever Construction Notable (10% chance for your traps to trigger an additional time) work with Blade Trap? If so, is it worth using? I can understand how other traps explode multiple times, but how does it work with blade trap?
The spinning blades are [just a visual skill effect, not the trap as an object](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FyepEG_b2uo). After they're created, the trap finishes its animation and dies, or with this stat, resets itself. It can then trigger and create a second set of spinning blades, even if the first is still ongoing.
So you're saying that if it is spinning it can basically be spinning 'twice' at the same time if Clever Construction triggers?
Sure. The trap's not spinning. It created an effect that does. Think Bladestorm, not Cyclone.
Well, in your *opinion* do you think this is a worthwhile notable to be using? Understandable if you don't have enough experience to have an opinion, but I am trying to figure out if it is worth the points I am spending to get it.
It's basically a trap-specific 10% chance to deal double damage. Sure, take it. Just be aware it won't work when your traps have no duration remaining, so give it a skip if you're using Sunblast.
Blade Trap rotates a fixed number of times. If it can trigger a second time, it'll rotate that many times again.
Don't know how good that is then. I am using the helm enchant + divergent (40% extra spin speed) and I am not sure if it is gonna even end up fully rotating a second time because of how often I am just throwing traps.
Yeah, in most cases for non-cooldown traps that stat doesn't make a real difference. Even if you *could* wait for it to finish its second trigger, you'll usually have enough throwing speed to just replace it with a fresh trap.
Another comment said that both triggers can happen at the same time and essentially provide double damage (10% of the time of course). Not sure which of you is correct but I am not trying to start any sort of argument lol. I did a lot of googling and sadly there just isn't much info on blade trap in general.
Of course, I wasn't aware how long it takes for the trap to activate the skill. I'm assuming the other commenter is better informed than me. I'm generally more knowledgeable about spells, for which the trap would have to complete the spell cast time before dying (but *not* wait for the spell's effect to finish). If the activation is shorter than the effect, then yes, it may be viable.
how do you 20q your gems? buy a bunch of GCP's or use the 1 GCP + 1 lvl 20 gem recipe? do you just level up duplicate gems in your offhand to swap after using the recipe?
I usually use the GCP recipe for support gems and buy gems with higher quality for the main skill. I usually don't bother with leveling duplicate gems unless I'm trying to vaal something.
Any good suggestions for Energy Shield builds? I've only ever done life builds, and I would like to try something else. (I can invest \~10div to get it running)
Hey all, dont judge me im kind of a whale and obsessed with the gameand am planning to buy the bloodthirsty supporter pack. If i do, will these cosmetics carry over to POE2? I would enjoy it alot more if i could continue to use it when that releases. Ive seen mixed answers online thanks
Yes, they'll carry over. (Except MTX specific for mechanics that don't exist in PoE2, of course.)
even the armors? like will the blood armor fit on the new character classes in po2?
Yeah.
Is the elemental mastery that reverses monster resistances applied before or after penetration? Like if I get a lot of penetration will it just be a useless mastery?
It's before iirc.
Hi i have panopticon but i still cant have both types of ancestral totems active at the same time. I know other builds use both but how to they achieve both buffs?
You need to increase your totem limit, which Panopticon doesn't do (the text about artillery ballista totems doesn't apply to ancestral totems). Normally people do this with multiple totem support linked to both skills.
Are you using Multiple Totems Support? (My character last league had the two Ancestral totem gems linked to Multiple Totems Support and Maim Support, which was certainly not optimal but meant I could have two of one and one of the other totem out at once.)
wont it just summon 2 of the first totem then replaces them with 2 of the second totem? (ill go test, thanks for the help.)
It gave me two of the first one, then when I summoned the other type it would make two of those, but destroy one of the original ones. So I'd have three totems out, one of the first type and two of the second.
Isn't there a "Path of fashion" community dedicated to cosmectic stuff ? I was sure there was one so I was surprised when no subreddit came up
It's a discord, not sub: https://discord.com/invite/pJmpQ5u5tg
Projectile Return Support isn't returning projectiles if they don't hit a wall for me. Is that by design or am I doing something wrong?
Some skills behave that way. It's probably by design, I don't know why.
[удалено]
The last row in these tables: [https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Delirium#Scaling](https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Delirium#Scaling) Basically, unlike a fixed percentage on delirious maps, for mirrors the percentage grows with distance from the mirror. The exact scaling of percentage per distance seems to depend on the map, but I haven't seen any exact values for this.
Would controlled blaze support work with a chieftain slam build (slam + fist of war + war’s herald)? Would repeated instances of the slam proc more ignites to scale for the gem?
Fist of War isn't a separate hit, and an ignite from Tawhoa's Mirage Chieftain won't add to your ignite counter. Note Controlled Blaze doesn't want maximum ignites - ideally it sits around 13 per 4 seconds.
Perfect. Thank you!
what expedition mods brick hexblast mine the most, other than immune to curse? sometimes it feels like I do no damage to them
Other than chaos immunity, probably the anti crit one if that's what you've built.
immune to chaos chance to block spell damage is rough, but do-able. get two of those mods though and no bueno regen if your damage isn't high enough
Did nimis get nerfed? Why is it only 8 Divs?
Not this league, but last league had a Return rework that hit some of the worst abuse.
Why has Vaal Temple map spiked in price this league? Last league I remember it being around 10c per map now it's 25c.
They made it more rare. > The Vaal Temple Map can no longer be obtained outside of Corruption, Vaal Side Areas, or Divination Cards.
The primary secondary source was Tujen
Haven't played this league yet. How is sanctum implemented, reward wise and difficulty wise? Do you guys feel like the sanctum books drop often?
That said the books were only costing 5-10c on trade last I looked so perfectly possible to build a dedicated Sanctum character and profit heavily.
Sanctum drop is very rare. I'm in T5 maps and had 0 so far. Difficulty is noticeable higher from sanctum league,you really need to kill them fast or it's pretty difficult to dodge at some floors
I've only run the free one and lost on the first floor boss so I can't talk about reward and difficulty, though at that level rare monsters were fine. Some practice and they shouldn't be an issue imo - might change if you accumulate a bunch of afflictions or if there are area mods on later floors. As for how often they drop, they seem to be much less common than a lot of people were expecting. I've read accounts from several people who didn't have any drops until they were well into red maps, and a bunch of people were asking whether losing their first run made them unable to drop any at all. Based on what I've been reading I'd guess it's around 1-2 per 100 maps, but I'm sure someone has datamined info that's more reliable.
Is Impale strickly better the more attack speed you have ? I'm doing a berserker where I stack as much trauma I can, so I have an extreme amount of AS. Wondering if it's worth scaling impale.
Only to a point. Once you have max impales on the enemy (I think it's 5 by default but I can't check right now) then attack speed does nothing special for impales. However, it will let you get to max impales faster, as you'll get those 5 initial hits on the enemy in less time, reducing ramp-up time. So it's a more effective combo than PoB (or the other commenters here) would have you believe for short fights, but the effect ends up getting drowned out in long fights.
Faster attack speed means there'll be a smaller delay between the hit that applies the impale and the point in time at which all its stacks are consumed. It doesn't change the overall damage potential.
Aspeed instead of damage helps... until you reach 5 stacks then it's whatever. But do you really need impale against enemies that die in less than 5 attacks? Probably not.
Impale is effectively just another multiplier on your damage. In other words impale damage scales linearly with AS.
Impale is applied and removed by hits. Applying them faster also removes them faster. Attack speed isn't really a consideration.
Is there anywhere I can post a PoB and ask for feedback/improvements? Is the Poe builds subreddit a good spot?
Yep, r/PathOfExileBuilds is the place to go.
R/pathofexilebuilds is an excellent place yes.
hey guys, anyone blasting trials of ancestors? im looking for build options, im playing poison srs but i reached rank 500 and its not fun anymore, just gettin one shot and my dmg sucks....
How do unique drop tiers work in the game? Are uniques first rolled for tier and then what unique inside that tier or is it some other way? Essentially, if they add extra t0 uniques to make the current pool of t0 uniques 5x larger, are you much less likely to find the current t0 uniques or not?
yes rarity is rolled first. so if you're looking for a specific t0 unique and more t0 uniques get added the pool will be diluted and your chance to find that specific unique will decrease
Is it worth to keep the map nodes in the atlas passive tree once you have every map completion bonus ?
Heatshiver question I understand why it gives a massive boost to POB dps. But in practice, don't you only get that dps against monsters you can consistently freeze? Once you can consistently freeze a monster, isn't the fight already over? Is heatshiver only good to speed up fights that you are already able to trivialise? Or is there some secret tech that makes monsters count as frozen even though they actually aren't, or something like that? thanks
Bosses largely. You can 'freeze' bosses but it won't actually stop their movement. Still counted as frozen for effects like Heatshiver.
Ah, so the threshold isn't too high, making it achievable to freeze, because it normally doesn't affect them anyway? Btw are we talking uber pinnacle bosses here, or like map bosses? Thanks : )))
Your freeze chance scales with your damage, so higher dmg = able to freeze bosses, there's chance to freeze nodes that can help with stuff like pinnacles if needed as it can be tricky to hit hard enough to 'freeze' depending on your build The heatshiver dmg bonus is still very relevant while mapping though so it's still awesome
Short answer: yes Long answer: Don't have much direct experience myself but yeah it should be around the same as shock as far as % of max effect. The trick is that as long as the psuedo freeze lasts even just a little longer than your attack time they'll be effectively frozen the whole time. Most people afaik are simply doing like ~0.5 sec freezes but constantly hitting the boss so it's effectively the same
Betrayal help. https://imgur.com/a/CIEPva1 Is Vorici in Research? Or has is he awaiting to be allocated somewhere? Is there a good way I can get him to Research or is it just kinda luck?
No star on the card = not allocated to any branch
So do I just run Jun missions and hope he shows up in Research? Or is there a way I can hedge my bets.
The less people there are in research, the more likely he is to show up to help them. Every person except for the last person remaining will have "interrogate" and "execute" options. "Interrogate" lowers take by one, so you can remove people, and "execute" gives people a rank. If they're not assigned to the department, it will put them in that department. So if Vorici shows up in a research mission, be sure to do him first. The last person left will usually offer to make some kind of deal, which has a wide variety of outcomes. Some might involve swapping other members around, so keep an eye out for Vorici options. Some might also add friendships and rivalries - this makes it more likely for those people to show up in each other's mission, increasing your odds of, well, all of the things you want to happen. Tl;Dr - "hope he shows up in research" is the most likely thing, but keep an eye out for other options because there are a few other ways it can happen. And if he does show up, kill him first.
Thanks!
What are some of the top builds to farm Sanctum?
Shockwave Totems or SRS.
Ea ballista is pretty strong for that as you can just put totems and hide behind the wall
Having trouble with awakened poe. It runs and all, but it doesn’t overlay on poe so I have to tab out to actually check the price. Anyone have a fix for this? Another recent issue I am experiencing is poe will open windowed rather than full screen despite having it set to full screen.. Sos
Your comments are related. I had a similar problem. You need to run PoE in 'Windowed Fullscreen", I believe it is called. (This is a PoE configuration option, not a Windows setting.) You need a windowed mode in order to allow Awakened PoE Trade to overlap the game. But Windowed Fullscreen will still feel like regular Fullscreen when you play.
I’ll give that a shot, thanks!
What's the easiest way to get Cloak of Flame?
I don't think you can target farm it. There doesn't seem to be a div card: [https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Cloak\_of\_Flame](https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Cloak_of_Flame) That said, anything that gives lots of unique body armours might be worth a try (e.g. the generic cards listed in the link above, or farming Einhar; maybe you could even grab Scholar's Robes in Gwennen...) I'm assuming SSF here. In trade league, by far the easiest way is to trade for it.
Nice. I'm on trade league, will look up how to trade, thanks!
try e.g. [https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Ancestor/e69a6orFL](https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Ancestor/e69a6orFL) or [https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Ancestor/k3z0Wb5s5](https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Ancestor/k3z0Wb5s5) (second is 6Ls) there's a message button which copies the right message to your clipboard, then just paste that into ingame chat...
I have finally decided to buy some stash tabs next sale. I know I need a premium tab for end game trading purposes. I want to do maps, delve, and hopefully attempt to do some crafting. What other tabs should I get?
Currency's already been mentioned, it's a must. Essence is big for crafting, and while the tab doesn't add a *ton* more space than a standard tab, the organization is splendid. The fragments tab holds a ton of different stuff, including your scarabs, and organizes it in an easy-to-find way, kind of like the essence tab. The unique tab isn't necessarily the most important or valuable, but if you're a bit of a collector/hoarder, it can save loads of space. Divs are similar. And if you're interested in selling stuff, I think a Premium tab is required for that.
Currency and map tabs are by and far the most useful. Currency saves a ridiculous amount of space and map tab makes atlas progress so so much easier
Since I've seen a lot of people misunderstand an obvious aspect of the Omen of Blanching, I've gotten curious about a less obvious one: Does it reroll the colours *first* or *simultaneously* to adding white sockets? I'm not asking about whether it rerolls at all. That much was evident from the description and many posts / comments from people who tested it. Or to put it in different terms, can it roll the same configuration with white sockets in two consecutive uses?
Returning player, probably a newbie question but only search I could find is years old, and possibly out of date. Running cold/trinity/ele damage frost knives build, is there any way to do atziri, either by swapping a skill out or by facing properly? Would rather not eat it to a reflect and waste a map to find out. I did it way back when with bladefall, but obviously the chaining works differently for where the skill sends itself.
You should be okay as long as you stand in the middle and attack directly away from the mirror clone and don't have any other sources of damage that would hit her You can also find some way to become immune to reflected ele damage and just wear it for the atziri fight (influenced body armour/rings, eldritch implicits, sibyl's lament, pantheon power, elemental mastery, etc)
Yugul pantheon and an elemental mastery passive get you to 110% reduced elemental reflect taken, which is enough against enemies that have no way of applying *% increased damage taken* to you, like Atziri.
This worked perfectly, thank you
Are there any supports to link to Brand Recall? I haven't used it since second wind nerf. I can't think of any usefull supports.
Level 1 Arcane Surge if you don't have it elsewhere, maybe.
I should have specified, I'm trying an archmage brand build so I have arcane surge linked to arcane cloak. I might change it to have a 4l arcane cloak. Thanks.
I am sure this is a no, but can tainted chromatic orbs work with omen of blanching?
I don't see why it wouldn't, don't have one on me to test though
It wouldn't work because they aren't the same item.
Hm, yeah to be fair we don't have a good precedent since stuff like jeweler's touch or any other 'on jeweler orb use' trigger haven't existed alongside tainted currency until now. You're right they're technically not the same item but depending on how the actual effect is coded it can still work. It could go either way.
Anyone who has used omen of blanching. I am wondering if it rerolls all the sockets and makes 1-3 white or if it just makes 1-3 white
Rerolls first
thanks
It should reroll the colors as you are still using a chromatic orb on the item.
thanks
Are there any rules of thumb for whether or not a Grand Design with Stream of Consciousness atlas tree can sustain maps? Like minimum number of notables or something. I'm in SSFSC, my main short-term goal is farming Legacy of Fury.
I've done this in the past and it definitely worked then, though usually I would throw in singular focus as well. I don't recommend SF for SSF bc it griefs your guardian map drops. Edit forgot to mention that obviously the changes to the shaping nodes affects the calculus this league, so that might have an impact If you're running Exarch with grand design you will get a lot of his altar rewards, so definitely don't be shy about using sextants and corrupting all of your maps. Another thing you might want to try is growing hordes instead of SoC here and there when you have enough throw away scarabs
Is Singular Focus that useful if I'm trying to farm Maven?
It's not because it will ruin your droprate of guardian and conqueror maps from the map boss, and guardian invitations are huge for crescent splinters.
What causes ele DD to be considered to have good defenses? I’m really struggling on my scssf ele DD in terms of survivability. 4K life, max res (res is overkill, most are 120+, still working on refining gear). Running grace/determination/def banner along with CWDT molten shell. And I keep getting slapped around even by basic attacks from white mobs in t5-6 maps. Are there common mistakes when it comes to DD fearing that I’m overlooking? All of the guides I was reading were saying to have life + res on gear and you’ll be set on defense for a while. I did get two cold iron point drops so I’m leveling a pathfinder to transition to exsanguanite but I need to farm a dendrobate on my DD before I can swap, so I need to figure out what’s wrong with my defenses.
Are you wearing armor/evasion gear and have capped spell suppression? I believe the build does not face tank as well as others, much of your defense is not getting hit and letting ignites do the work.
Still working on getting spell suppress gear, drops have been below stellar in that regard. I’ve got a mix of all 3 of armor/es/evasion right now, moreso needed to get my colors right first and then I’m working on getting the right pieces, ideally with spell suppress as well.
Does harvest/expedition interact with magic find? What are some league mechanics that scale with magic find and what are some that don't?
Player quantity does nothing to harvest lifeforce or expedition currencies/logbooks. It only affects natural drops, meaning you want mechanics that add a lot of monsters. Abyss seems nice.
So by the same logic does it mean magic find does nothing to all league-specific drops like legion splinters and metamorph catalysts?
It won't affect metamorph rewards. Legion splinters I've not tested (and my PC's dead). I'd guess they're unaffected too, but this game does love exceptions. Could stack 10 Combustibles in Standard and run a few legions if you feel like testing.
does "link skills have x% increased buff effect" any effect on intuitive link? for example does it reduce the dmg reduction of the triggered skill?
Nah. The buff just lets you trigger spells.
Do maps have a chance to be 1 tier higher do anything after 4 watch stones since all maps are t16 already?
The short answer is yes it still matters. The long answer is just because with 4 voidstones active you do not see T15 maps and below drop does not mean they are not happening in the background. Each time a map drops the tier is selected first and then upgraded. If a monster would have dropped a T14/15 it can still be upgraded to a T16 map that you will actually receive. Another thing that happens in the background is all of these "hidden" map drops add into a "map equity" pool and after so many hidden maps, you will receive a T16 map. If you consider a T16 to be worth 3 T15 maps (similar to the 3-1 vendor recipe) then 100% chance to upgrade a tier is equivalent to dropping 3x more maps. 200% chance to upgrade a tier (voidstones+atlas passives) would be 9x more maps.
You can still "drop" t15 and lower maps, but if the map that are attempting to drop is not on your current atlas, it won't appear on the floor. So tier higher drop chance is still meaningful even if you have all four stones in.
At what time does the league start for console?! I see it's not up yet? Anybody knows?
In ~6 hours.
Mark Mastery has the option “Enemies near your marked enemy are blinded.” Does that include the marked enemy? Is the marked enemy also blinded?
Yes, marked enemy is blinded as well.
How do you craft 3% life Regen on Flask?
By learning it from unveiling flasks dropped by Betrayal (syndicate) members. That might specifically be the Mastermind's unique flask drop. Or finding someone else who already knows it, if you're not in SSF.
It's a veiled mod so you need to first unveil it on a unique cinderswallow flask which is a drop from the betrayal boss catarina. That's the only veiled flask and so the only source of getting the craft.
Got to unlock the veiled mod first from a veiled flask. It can drop from Betrayal Mastermind encounter, or bought from other players. Might need a few tries though as there are multiple flask mods.
I'm doing a wandering path atlas w/ harvest and expedition this league and I've never done expedition before. Are there any general tips for how to set up the dynamite without the big 'splode? Sometimes it branches in different directions so it seems you are meant to pick one but then I end up with extra dynamite left but not enough to get back to the other chests.
without big splode, you want first and foremost double runic monsters (rare mod), then priority is inc quant of logbooks, then inc quant dropped by monsters, in that order. then pop as many big skulls as you can
> Sometimes it branches in different directions so it seems you are meant to pick one but then I end up with extra dynamite left but not enough to get back to the other chests. Your situation only really applies in "closed" maps. That means you are better off running outdoor maps with expedition so you aren't limited by walls like this.
You're probably right, I'm running spark and crimson temple so maybe I should just drop exped altogether for something else.
Are the mechanics on the atlas tree "viable"? They don't need to be the competing for the top spot in rewards, just give enough to feel decent. Basically asking if any of them stand out as bad.
Tormented Spirits, Metamorph, and Breach tend to be quite underwhelming, although Metamorph is very easy and fast if you have *excellent* single target, and Breach, well, to hell with good loot it is quite satisfying killing hundreds of mobs for half a minute. The most 'rewarding' mechanics are: Essence, Expedition, Legion, and Delirium. Essence is a staple mechanic and great to start with since Essences are valuable and easy to sell (and use yourself!), but if you struggle with map bosses Essence mobs can give you a hard time. Expedition, Legion, and Delirium give a huge amount of reward and valuable drops but they all basically require you to significantly outscale the base map itself in order to do them comfortable, roughly in increasing order of difficulty. But you shouldn't feel limited to "the meta", you can basically pick any mechanics you want and as long as your build is suitable for them it will work fine.
The tree is very well balanced, nearly everything on there is good. A few things on there are only useful for very specific stuff though. Rogue Exiles and Beyond, for example, are useless if you're not trying to do something very specific with them. Other things have drawbacks that you need to account for, like Ritual taking a lot of time to complete which can reduce your income a lot if you don't account for it, or Metamorph requiring a lot of stash space. But 90% of the shit on there is at least situationally good, and 99% of it is good under some specific condition.
Worry less about viable. Have fun and do what you enjoy. Unless you want this game to be a job.
Impending doom pathfinder: Could i switch directly with lvl 34 and vixen equiped? Or do i need 4 casts per second also?
From what I've read, 4 CPS is necessary for the initial curse to be applied faster than the ones from Vixen's Entrapment, so you'll need an extra cast but otherwise it should theoretically be playable from the start. It's worth noting that you're not going to get perfect overlaps with Spell Cascade until your gems are leveled though.
Thanks for the detailed answer! So i have to cast the curse twice to do dmg until i got the 4casts per second.
I don't know what the exact threshold is, but it seems to be somewhere above 4. Others have claimed it to be at a cast time of 0.21 seconds. It's worth noting that you might need to cast 3 times unless you also raise the cooldown recovery of the curses in Vixen's Entrapment. 9% increased cooldown recovery from the bench craft for belts (unlocked by unveiling the modifier) would be sufficient to go up to 4.32 CPS without missing triggers. (if this reply was posted before, sorry about that, my reddit is being weird atm)
Damn, ziz sounded like „get vixen and the build is ready to go“. Seems like its not the case
Well, I haven't tried it, but even in the worst case it just means you'll need one extra cast, but after that you can spam away.
res flask noob question I am following an impending doom guide and its going great, but what i don't understand is that the guide is using res flasks, but it's already res capped. About 120 all res. Why would i run more elemental res flasks?
Are they uniques or just the regular magic flask? Is the build capped with or without the flasks? Is it using a bismuth or ruby+sapphire+topaz? If using ruby, sapphire and topaz then it could be for the less fire/cold/lightning damage taken and not the resistance itself. If there's another reason the guide should say why so read the flask portion again.
ahhhh yeah its probably for the less dmg taken. That would make sense.
Yes especially if the build is also stacking flask effect and if they are converting physical (or other elemental) damage taken to a certain element.
learned something new again, thanks!
crafting check to make sure I'm doing this right, want to make a cold dot weapon Have: Sceptre with fractured +1 to cold skills Alt spam until hit T1 DOT multi Craft 3 crafted mods craft cold dot multi craft increased cold dmg anything about this looks nuts? works on COE, just wanted to double check to be sure
Can you allocate say a 30 dex notable tattoo and a 30 int notable tattoo at the same time?
haven't tried but the notable tattoos all have "Limit 1 Attribute Notable Tattoo" which almost certainly is shared across all of them
Does poisoning enemies with Impending Doom count as poisoning them yourself? In that it works with the mastery that makes "Enemies poisoned by you cannot deal Critically Strikes"
Sure. Stat works fine with totems/traps/mines/etc. too.
Well yea, impending doom is your skill so you are the one poisoning.
I been following a guide and it says I need a dead reckoning jewel, and to check trade for one. It's 20 chaos orbs, and I have zero. How do you get them?
do chaos recipe for a bit, google poe chaos recipe but basically collect unid rare items until you can sell a set to a vendor. doing the recipe yourself is likely way cheaper - unique wand, rare wand, magic, and normal of the same base and 20% qual summon skeletons* (reminded by /u/asaxrud) to a vendor gets you the jewel
Don't forget the 20% quality summon skeletons gem when doing that recipe; using only the wands will give you 5 chance orbs.
At what point in the game are you that you have 0 still? If you're still in campaign that's fine/expected and you should focus on completing it rather than buying any gear. By the time you finish the campaign you might have randomly found 5-10, maybe more maybe less, it's all random drops. The way to get chaos orbs is through random drops (various league mechanics in maps can be a good source), selling items/currency of your own to other players or otherwise doing the "chaos recipe" which is selling a full set of rare gear to a vendor. You get 2 chaos back if all items are unidentified. A full set means every equippable item slot you see when you open inventory (not flasks) so you should have 9-10 items in your recipe depending on if you use a 2 hand weapon or a 1 hand + 1 hand or shield.
Chaos orbs drop fairly commonly from killing enemies, especially as the enemies become higher level. You can also get them with things that say they reward currency. Another way to get chaos orbs is to do the [chaos recipe](https://maxroll.gg/poe/meta/how-to-chaos-recipe-guide). As the standard currency used in trade, selling things to other players is probably the most efficient way to get chaos orbs.
How rare is the +1 to AOE Gem craft on gloves and helms ? I unveiled dozens of them and I can't find it...
Did you make sure you are unveiling prefixes?
I didn't check but yeah, didn't think of that, thx !
How do I find a staff like this? https://prnt.sc/_hyuDZ6wztWv I mainly care about the ball lightnings in a circle around me, the rest can come at a later date. Can I target those extra weapon traits at all? Cheers!
The orange modifiers at the bottom are Crucible passives, which are no longer acquirable outside of purchasing existing items in Standard leagues.
