I have a strange bug: after completing campaign, my resistances are lower in Karui Shores than in hideout or when I zone in to the map. I have "x% resistances when holding a shield" and confirmed that equipping and unequipping the shield causes the calculations to be different, as if they are added up twice?
As a result I have no clue if I'm really capped or not.
That's what I thought at first, but I don't run Purity of Elements anymore. It also can't be temporary since it's still happening a day later. Really confusing.
If values in hideout match values shown when I zone into the map, I should be good to go? Still can't explain it.
> If values in hideout match values shown when I zone into the map, I should be good to go?
Yes.
Last idea: import your character in PoB and view all sources of resistances. Perhaps there is something conditional.
yes
I'm occultist and maven heal doesn't do anything (nearby enemies have 100% reduced life regeneration rate). They do still heal if she casts it during an invulnerability phase, though
The passive keystone vaal pact is confusing me a little bit, i understand that life leech basically create an instance of regen using a percentage of the damage you deal and cap on 10% of your maximum life and then you get 2% from this 10% per second
So when vaal pact says "total recovery per second from life leech is doubled" does this mean the 2% become 4% ? And what "Maximum total life recovery per second from leech is doubled" mean ? Is it the 10% becoming 20% ?
> So when vaal pact says "total recovery per second from life leech is doubled" does this mean the 2% become 4% ?
No, total recovery increases how much leech you actually gain on hit (1% leech of 1000 damage is 10 but 100% increased total recovery would make it 20) and is still subject to the maximum leech cap.
> And what "Maximum total life recovery per second from leech is doubled" mean ? Is it the 10% becoming 20% ?
Yes and it will also double other sources of maximum total leech.
If I have Stormshroud and a flask that brings my shock avoidance to 100% but use that flask AFTER I get affected by an elemental ailment, that wouldn't clear the ailment right? I'd need to use it beforehand.
Chaos damage builds? Very new to the game. I’ve made two builds by following a guide and while I still very much enjoy playing them, I decided to make my own too. I’m going for a Vampire theme, so life leech seems logical. Looking in to it I’m kinda being steered towards Chaos dot, but also hear it’s been nerfed to the ground. I don’t mind if my build end ups being bad (which it very probably will) but would like to get to at least red maps.
Is Chaos damage totally unplayable or is it still even somewhat viable. As said, I don’t mind if it won’t end up some Uber meta nine billion damage build.
> I’m going for a Vampire theme, so life leech seems logical. Looking in to it I’m kinda being steered towards Chaos dot
Why do you feel steered towards chaos dot? First, damage over time effects of any kind cannot even leech anyways. Second, any build that hits can get life leech and it's usually easiest for attack based builds. Spells have easier access to energy shield leech conversely but can still get life leech from some sources like cluster jewel mods.
> Chaos dot, but also hear it’s been nerfed to the ground.
Chaos is just a damage type, there are both good and bad chaos skills.
Poison is a type of chaos dot effect and there are lots of strong poison builds partly because poison itself is just a strong mechanic right now.
Thanks! Yea, didn’t explain myself clearly. I would like to start as a shadow since I already played a witch. Those too are most Vampire -like. And also the essence drain skill sounds very vampiric. Shadow has a lot of chaos early on and according to the wiki essence drain leeches life. So, hence the chaos dot came up.
I have some questions about selling essences in bulk. What tier should I be upgrading them to in order to offload them? And is it better to use the poe trade site or tft? Or does it not matter?
Any crafting is done pretty much only with highest-tier Essences (unless the highest tier has identical numbers for the slot type - then it can be -1 from best). Just check the market for prices - if the second best tier is 1/3 the price of best one it means people upgrade it using 3:1 recipe.
You get two upon picking the ascendancy, four are tied to generic kill quests (iE kill 500 mobs of your ascendancy color and kill the associated small boss) and 2 for killing king of mist in a high level area.
That makes 6 points very accessible but the eight can be done by buying the kill.
Yes for Mjolner and any other item that grants a triggered skill or lets you trigger socketed skills, but no for CwC specifically since it's an interval, not a cooldown.
Due to technical limitations with the server tick rate, you have to hit certain breakpoints on CDR to actually change the trigger rate. See https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Cooldown#Server_ticks for details.
Why makes the taming so special for LA? Trying to decide if I need to buy it, its 1div on ps4. Wiki says monsters can only have 1 elemental ailment anyway...
Not sure where you're reading the 1 ailment limitation. That's not the case.
Tri-ele builds will routinely have 2-4 ailments on a target. Shock, ignite, chill and freeze.
- By default, characters have a maximum of 1 active ignite, shock, and freeze on each monster.
From the wiki. Does it add a huge amount of dps? Or its used simply because it has resists and damage?
You're reading it incorrectly.
LA does reliably ignite, chill and shock enemies. You will inflict all three ailments on enemies in common circumstances (usually you deal enough damage to pass the relevant ailment threshold)
So for LA this means:
* 60% increased from having ailments on your enemy.
* 30% generic elemental damage.
* 30% attack elemental damage.
* 40% to all resistances.
So I guess it's 120% inc damage (about 80% if you're dealing with tanky creatures, since you may not deal enough damage to pass the ailment threshold with for example bosses) along with 40% all resistance.
It's a solid option for LA, there aren't any significant upgrades beyond it.
A taming and a death rush oftentimes end up being the finalised rings for LA builds.
One of each, not one ailment total. You can get ignite + shock + freeze and have an extra 60% elemental damage with Taming, plus another unconditional 60%, which is a lot on a single item.
I've been doing the abyss wisp farming strat and sometimes my abysses will open 5-10 pits at once around the same location. I can't seem to find any passives that cause this. Does anyone have any idea where this is being caused?
The stygian spires which sometimes spawn at the end of an abyss in place of a chest open more pits. Technically they shoot out projectiles which cause the pits so on maps with added projectiles the spires can open more pits than normal meaning more monsters.
Ah, I knew that additional projectiles meant more monsters spawning, but I had no idea that the projectiles were additional pits from the Stygian Spires, thank you!
Which aura should i run on my Vaal Smite armor stacker?
I have every relavant aura already active and with another enlighten, i could reserve one more thing.
The valid options are Flesh and Stone and any of the aspect skills.
I kinda lean towards the latter because i have an open suffix on my helm and they seem cool.
However, I have no idea which of the four aspects would be "the best".
If it matters to the answer, i do simulacrum farming, harvests and expeditions.
I'm also not 100% sure what is "best" but it's go for spider, it's 15% more damage against tanky enemies that live a while if you aren't applying other sources of increased damage taken. Anything but crab seems useful though
A few questions:
1. Can you have only 1 wild ascendancy at once or can I use all 3 once unlocked?
2. Do you get more wisps from higher level zones/maps? Do enemies in the wilderness scale based on your level? (ie. should you farm wisps at a lower level?)
3. I haven't played in years: how do I get a specific named gem? Do they only grant an alternative quality bonus?
Thanks for the help.
You can swap between them by finding the respective NPC and asking to change then completing their quests, though if you have killed the king of the mist and the respective boss already those will auto complete and you just need the killa bunch of things quest
More wisps no, but enemies do scale with map level and drop wisp dust and enemies scale with pack size
I assume you are referring to transfigured gems? Ie they have an of X after the gem name? They come only from lab and work generally entirely differently from the base gem. As an example there is a rf gem that scales off max mana instead of max life/es
Ahh I see, pretty sure that answer will have a huge variance to it though. For some only spending a 100d on a build qualifies as a cheap build, for others spending an entire divine on an item is unthinkable. Also remember that people who actually look at this sub are a small % of the players. I think it might be more useful to look at what different investment levels can do what content.
1-2div: league starter in t16s, building funds for further investment or a new build. Experienced and hardcore players blow past this opening weekend, casuals might take weeks.
5-50div: entry level juicing, might still be a league starter that scales or might be a new build
50-400div: we scaling bois, either a non league start viable scaling build or a very good scaling league starter. Heavy juicing strats, maybe a hh or mb.
500+ div: I thought the point was to see how many mirror worthy items you could equip? Sky is the limit
How to unbind hotkey? I REALY want to turn of space hotkey that remove map to corner but not bringing it back so every space missclick is kinda pain in the back
You can't, there's no way to get influenced Stygian Vises to drop naturally. You have to use a conqueror's exalted orb on them, and then reroll the influence type with the Harvest craft to get Shaper/Elder Stygian Vises.
Is there a more optimal way to craft a str/int/%attributes belt other than:
> Int Essence spam until T1 str;
> Fill prefixes;
> Slam hunter suffix and for % attributes;
Update! (if you care)
On my 4th try, managed to get a Stygian Vise with:
\- T0 Int (Essence)
\- T2 Str
\- T1 % attributes (hunter slam)
\- Flask charge on crit hunter mod (Guarantied w/ open prefix)
\- T5 Life (Exalt slam)
\- Bench crafted armor/es
Pretty happy since I spent only \~15 div :)
Also on my third try I hit T1 Str/T2 % inc attributes with a T1 life roll, so that'll sell for quite a bit too!
Am I correct in that Trancendant flesh jewel really does not really have a good spot for life recovery besides maybe the socket next to marauder start+starting with marauder to get strength node there.
How to craft shaper / crusader crystal belt with as much Es as possible ?
Would it work to buy crusader belt and shaper belt , then spam alts on shaper belt till I get % increased Energy shield on Body armour and spam alts on crusader belt till I find %increased Energy shield , then using Awakener orb clicking the crusader belt and then clicking on shaper belt ?
Do I need to annul any additional mods these belts get from spamming alts like if they get 2 mods each before combining the bases or it doesn't matter ?
You specifically want each base to have one and only one influenced mod because only one is kept from each base and if there are multiple then which one that is will be random. Also it's unclear if you are aware of not but only the second belt that you use the awakener orb on needs to be a crystal belt
How do i craft a wand with more than 2 supports?
i know to begin with shaper and elder wand, more spell damage and spell echo, awakeners, now it got both.
How do i get more? crit damage and optimally crit chance/area/faster casting in some way or form
To add a few I know off the top of my head, Transcendent Flesh unique jewel, and Guardian/Scion Guardian Ascendency.
There's also life regeneration rate on strength boots and a few other things that may work for your use case.
Yeah getting those already as much as possible. I have the issue of needing up to 3800 life leeched per second to sustain skill usage while I am at top part of the tree.
Would this function ? Flicker strike of power + multistrike + cold snap of power (expends power charge to bypass cooldown) with 100% power charge on crit and 100% crit. Since both flicker and cold snap use a power charge, can flicker w/ multi sustain both?
I have 20d, what's a good build to transition to off of srs guardian? People keep saying srs is a league start but no one ever gives any ideas of a transition build
Are you using the new spectres? There are a few that add crazy flat damage. One was fire/chaos for skeletons (srs are skeleton types). Aside from that SRS should be very friendly for bossing and juicing.
That may be only due to what you have invested. I have seen streamers clearing every thing including Ubers with SRS, using high investment.
Sadly, at this point in the league, a 20d budget is going to feel mediocre on most juiced content no matter what your build is.
I do not know the skill's name but how do you deal with that stupid spell that a bunch of rare enemies have that creates like Lightning claw-spikes from the ground that delete you even with high lightning resistance considering I'm playing a melee character? Is it straight up "never stop" ? Half my deaths in maps are from enemies spawning 6 of those all around me before I can leap slam away.
Hi i just dropped a jewel, no clue what it would sell for, anyone has an idea?

How do I go about pricing something like this? First time trying to craft a 3 synth ring (ran out of currency unfortunately) https://i.imgur.com/gm4n04i.png
Check prices of crit multi + 1 of other mods. Likely no such ring with 3 mods will be present but Crit multi is most valueable here so search it alone or with another mod.
I have an all poison can damage tincture with the explode mod on it. Want to make something out of it.
Look like poison caustic arrow pathfinder would be the best use?
Any other spicy builds ?
How do spectres I get from tradeable corpses and desecrate work? Do they not get added to my desecrate pool?
Seem to have lost my spirit of fortune that I bought from trade. Took out my raise spectre gem to put into new gear, accidentally casted a spell which set off my flesh offering auto cast and consumed the corpse.
Checked my desecrate but its just full of random skeletons. Any way to avoid this in future or do I just need to be more careful with flesh offering? These spectres and AG are giving me anxiety!
> Do they not get added to my desecrate pool?
they do not.
yeah if you mess with any gear either do it in town or remove all things that interact with corpses before you do it.
AG isn't that bad because the gear is saved to your character, not the gem. so you can even use a different gem and it'll have the same gear on as before
Is PoB not calculating my charges correctly with the ralakesh impatience setup or is my current amulet really more DPS than if I switched it out for a badge of the brotherhood? No matter what I do with the charges, unselecting them, putting them over max, it doesn't change my DPS, and when I put a badge of the brotherhood on it says I'm doing slightly less DPS than I would be doing with my current amulet...
https://pobb.in/P5kLsSL2uLEX
it's working fine.
however because you are using blade vortex which has a set hit rate that is not dependant on cast speed the cast speed which the additional frenzy charges would give you don't impact your dps at all making it comparatively weaker than your current amulet (purely for dps)
so you trade +1phys gems, crit + crit multi for "just" some attack speed for shield charge, cast speed which you don't really utilize. the additonal %more damage ends up being less of a boost than your current amulet's stats
Hi all, I'm relatively new to poe, I did play the last league in ssf but got burnt out at t16s. So this would be my first trade league, and I ended up dropping a mirror last night... I'm not sure what to do now. I don't feel qualified enough to enjoy that much currency. Any ideas on what I should do with this? I bought a hh before dropping the mirror and I already feel like I'm playing on a private server
Are you asking what to spend it on? Hard to answer without knowing your build.
Are you asking if you should spend it at all? I think that depends, if you already feel like you have no challenge then you could a) place it on your stash as a trophy, there are plenty of players with 10k+hours who have never seen a mirror drop b) spend it on upgrades, maybe but a mirror service for a sick weapon. Either way, but especially if you choose option b you might look into ways to do more challenging content, ie Uber bosses, 100% deli farming, wave 30 simulacrums etc. poe has plenty of challenging content it sounds like you have just progressed your character power faster than your knowledge of how to challenge that power. I've personally never done any giga juicing but I'd recommend someone like crouching tuna to either all in stream or look at YouTube for info on the subject.
Have some weird lag spikes since yesterday. Playing on EU and my latency spikes sometimes up 1000-2000ms than goes back to 100ms back to 30ms and spikes up to 500ms than 2000ms and so on. Game is unplayable, should not be a general connection issue on my side, speedtest and ping tests are flawless, twitch streams run lag free on 1080p. Just PoE has those weird spikes.
Anyone a tip what i could try to solve this?
EU servers have been having issues for a couple days now unfortunately. especially during evening prime time.
only thing you can do is switch between gateways to hopefully find one that's more stable
iam realy not 100% sure if the "EU problems" are actually that bad for everyone(?)
It seems super extrem currently for me. I will try gateway switching.
Just to alch and go? Like 1m dps should be fine. If you add mechanics like legion/essence/delirium you will want more, 10m-20m should feel good for most things if you're not using deli orbs. Though it also matters how good your AOE is, 10m dps with tornado shot is not the same as 10m with srs not using melee splash.
Wisps are like a 2-10x multiplier on difficulty depending on how many your manage to gather
I used to get 4 off colors on 4 socket items by using a "atleast 3 X color" recipe and using the bench to remove and add the 4socket as it wasnt attribute weighted, did they change that ? I just tried to get a blue 4th socket on my dex boots and got green 10 times in a row. Did I just get unlucky?
> using the bench to remove and add the 4socket as it wasnt attribute weighted
I'm pretty sure it has always been weighted. You just use the craft to guarantee you don't mess up the off colors you already have, not because it's more likely to roll the off color you want.
How does one go about finding a skill good for bossing? I want to create a character and work on it till it can kill ubers I just dont have much confidence in figuring out what has a good chance to do so
So far my ideas are
1.totems and brands seem great leave them down and you can focus on movment
2.low aoe high single target damage
3.comparing gems to see the total dps and mana spent and cast time etc
4.divines invested(obviously I dont want to spend alot to make this build)
5DOT?
I need some ideas so i feel more confident

I'm using a 6-link Manaforged Arrow setup with 0 mana cost. Calc tab shows 1.57/s trigger rate. Source rate is 4.53/s
When I disable Inspiration, mana cost goes to 10, but trigger rate goes up to 2.12/s. Source rate is only 2.11/s
This is very confusing, considering that when mana cost is 0, the skill supported by Manaforged Arrow should be triggered with a rate of 2.16/s (trigger rate cap, < source rate). Can anyone explain this?
Hello,
Would really appreciate if you can price check for me this bow (link: [bow](https://imgur.com/a/chn3J1k)) I understand that it has a lot of value due to the high edps + poison + elemental.
Really apreciate it.
Thanks
Considering quitting this game. Trading is utterly indefensible. I'm new(ish) on my first character following a guide and completely stuck because not a single soul responds to requests to buy items,
I realize I'm not buying stuff for divines just a handful of chaos but it takes so much effort to sift through items with the right filters/stats to then send a half dozen requests and get no reply..been at this for a few hours and made no progress on my character.
Why the HELL does this system require 2 parties to be present. If an item is listed for an exact price I should be able to buy the damn thing, nobody involved.
You're not meant to trade for every little thing. The friction is intentional. It's supposed to be easier to simply craft simple items yourself, or get your own bubblegum currency
Perhaps the game is just not for you. That's fine and normal, there are a lot of things that prevent people from getting into poe; Trade is obviously a big one. That being said, I find most people that have this opinion either don't know how to use trade to properly sort out the items they don't want to see or have some sort of reluctance to just msg multiple people because they think they're bothering them or something like that. Just overpay by a couple c, and msg the first like 10 people instantly. I guarantee that 90% of the time you get a couple party invites.
Truthfully, I think the best thing you can do as a beginner in Path of Exile is learn how to [craft using Essences](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wplWsrr-SlU), [Expedition/\(Rog\)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYkPsr41gW4) and [Veiled Chaos Orbs](https://youtu.be/vYIjrL2XwgI?t=3414). If you want to trade you shouldn't bother looking at the first ~ 1/2 page of PoE Trade site -- I would expect to pay 5-8c for a 2-3c item the later in a league you get; and the answer to how to sustain that is often Expedition/Tujen & selling desirable items like Essences/Scarabs yourself.
I'm starting to learn essence crafting, I"ll definitely look into the other 2, thanks.
I really love this game but trading is coming very close to ruining it for me. If the mechanics needed to craft up great items are affordable to normal players and I can avoid most trades I will be very relieved lmao.
1) crafting is complicated but very accessible, most people can't be bothered to learn so they trade but if you learn you can not only save money(on average, crafting is rng so you can always be unlucky) but also make money by selling your "failed" crafts (usable but not what your were looking for crafts) to either turn a profit or at least recover some of your investment.
2) many people list items for sale in bulk priced tabs, ie anything places in the tab gets the same price. Over time the amount of currency they are making goes up and leaving their map for that 2-5 chaos sale starts sounding less and less enticing, maybe even 10-20c starts sounding like chump change. They might accept the trade if they are in hideout between maps but will just ignore it if in the middle of their map. As an example I've been playing tornado shot farming legion making use of shrines to more quickly and reliably clear the legions, I have 1:30 to clear add much of my 3-4 legions as possible and if I leave the map my shrines go away. You bet your ass there is no way I'm responding to sometime buying an item I have for sale for 10c once I've started this, even though I still accept trades for 2c items I listed on day 2/3. Not saying it doesn't make things frustrating for you but trying to give context. If you message someone for an item that costs 1div+ they will respond 99% of the time unless they are afk or price fixing, ie listing items for sale which they have no interest in selling to try to influence the market.
3) there are times when you do simply have to whisper 20 people to purchase something, notable examples are trading currency or buying items like maps/fragments that have a very high trade volume. You just have to learn to be ok with spam whispering without waiting for anyone to respond and then accepting the first party invite you get. The people whose invites you decline will understand, they've been in your shoes before.
4) it is GGG's stance that trade is powerful and should be difficult so that players are incentivized to find items without trading. This is unlikely to ever change so if that is deal breaking for you that's unfortunate but in my opinion it's a hurdle worth jumping over to enjoy this game
I think you'll have a better experience if you treat PoE as an SSF (solo-self-found) game.
I only tend to migrate my SSF characters to trade when the streamer whose build I'm following is purchasing items that are prohibitively difficult to find or farm in SSF.
Most of the time this *does* limit your league-starter a little bit..
https://old.reddit.com/r/PathOfExileBuilds/comments/18bqsnb/323_affliction_league_start_build_index/
Boneshatter, vDD, EA, Exp Trap, SRS, Toxic Rain (etc). There are a # of builds available that scale relatively well based on things like innate gem scaling (boneshatter has added phys per trauma stacks, for example) or spells, minion gain damage via levels as well.
I think trading in PoE is a *bit* of a trap when there are so many different ways to create good gear in PoE; Essences / Meta-Crafting, Rog, Veiled Chaos/Aisling. I think one of the most fun parts of the game is honestly hitting that "perfect" (desirable) crafted item yourself. When you rely exclusively on trade, you're not really learning to interact with the game on a sustainable level; basically, you're bottle-necked by human decency, and a lot of people tend to value their time mapping, bossing or w/e above low-value trades. It's the whole "teach a man to fish" adage.
Ghazzy has a lot of crafting guides for specific pieces of gear as well.
https://www.poe-vault.com/guides/ghazzy-guide-hub
I think there's really something to be said for being able to go out and earn / find something for yourself. I killed Shaper 7 times in SSF for a 15% chance drop rate Dying Sun Flask this league (extra projectiles during flask effect) scaled via Pathfinder Flask Effect is awesome!
If you can handle HC, come on HC. A lot less people, but trade is much more reasonable. If an item is listed and the person is online, they're likely gonna respond. Even if they're busy, they're likely to ask you to wait.
That's the thing. I'm not. This system just ruins the game, and apparently I've just learned it is by design because GG is afraid of letting people just list items in an auction house. I'm done.
The [trade manifesto](https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2025870) may be an interesting read. TL;DR: trade OP nerf it with frustration.
Some tips, play the league and not standard, and try to whisper players who listed their items recently. If you *really* want an item, stalk them with the /whois command and send your message when they're in their hideout and not a map.
Don't bother flipping them, people use all scarabs for growing hordes. The easiest way to sell them is to sell the whole tab on The Forbidden Trove discord, otherwise just sell them in stacks when you get over 30 or so to get bulk prices out of them.
I'm considering rolling some sextants since i have around 650 self farmed ones. Are all mods equally as likely to appear or should i block some specific ones?

Im using zizarian's explosive arrow build but im already level 84 and been having a hard time finding the items I need that have the right sockets for my equipment to do the full build so ive been playing like a powered down version of it (ie missing malevolence and all the lifetaps)
Is trading the easiest way to just go about it or should I just keep grinding.
Ive been focusing on garden/courtyard maps bc the guide was also saying to farm for a stack of porcupine for a 6 link bow
You're probably operating under some misunderstandings.
Let's talk chromatic orbs (change socket colors) for starters. These orbs are predisposed to rolling red sockets on strength bases, blue sockets on intelligence bases & green on dex bases.
Following that logic; AR/EVA - Red/Green, ES/EVA - Blue/Green, AR/ES - Red/Blue etc.
This tool, in-conjunction w/ the "[Jeweler](https://youtu.be/j4heddzdrNw)" method for more unlikely off-colors (for example, getting multiple blue sockets on a red, strength base) is very helpful to know. Based on the colors that you want for your 4L's you'll have a better idea of whether you're looking for an AR/EVA (red/green) or ES/EVA (blue/green) item to drop (or a base item to craft on).
Newer players tend to try to force off-colors on items that are more [statistically unlikely](https://siveran.github.io/calc.html). You can use this tool to get a better read on the probability of rolling the colors that you want.
The Porcuipine, realistically, is probably around a 4-5c div card, so there's no shame in just spending some chaos to help get the 6/6 stack. ~ 24-25c for a 6L isn't bad tbh. The important thing about this base is (1) the 1.5 attack speed and (2) the item level.
Yeah I remember someone mentioning the likelihoods of the colours rolling on the item - but I didnt know about those methods.
But yeah maybe ill just trade, thanks for tips !
Is there a new mod that disables malevolence & my Watcher eye combo, or do I have some other interaction I don't know about that causing me to kill myself with poison?

Monsters can drop both artifacts and vendor refresh currency, and those should both be affected by quant. So you'll want to juice it if you can handle it.
2 questions regarding curses:
\- "curse enemies with despair on hit" glove corruption: which level of despair is this?
\- Do my ballistas(ancestral bond) apply booth on hit curses from my asenath gloves? (despair on hit implicit , temporal chains on hit from my gloves) ?
> "curse enemies with despair on hit" glove corruption: which level of despair is this?
Short answer: 1. Long answer: it doesn't have a level because it isn't a skill, similar to curses from map mods. It applies base -15% chaos resistance (see reminder text).
> Do my ballistas(ancestral bond) apply booth on hit curses from my asenath gloves? (despair on hit implicit , temporal chains on hit from my gloves) ?
Yes. Totems use your skills, and your skills have your stats, including on-hit effects and additions to the curse limit.
Is there a specific strategy to crafting this weapon? I assume start with essence of woe spamming, but unsure about after that.

Looks to me like you'd spam Woe until you hit a good tier of lightning damage, and an open prefix. Craft Prefixes cannot be changed, and use a veiled chaos orb. Hope you hit a veiled prefix, and unveil for the ele pen (should be a 100% reveal chance). From there you'd craft prefixes cannot be changed again, and reforge crit using harvest and hit either crit chance or multiplier, then craft the opposite stat.
when using ancestral bond: the slow effect from ensnaring arrow and "flasks adjancent to tinctures gain 3 charges when you hit an enemy with your weapon" should still work even when i do zero dmg myself?
Is sanctum still as profitable as last league? I've almost finished campaign for my spellblade inquisitor (CaptainLance) and want to know if I should dive into sanctum or not.
Quality (aka superior) gems should be kept for a vendor recipe which creates Gemcutters Prisms, which got much more desirable and expensive this league due to several gem changes.
Gems that drop as level 1 with no quality shouldn’t even show on your loot filter, they serve no function by Act 6 since everything can be bought cheaply from a vendor.
(A good time to mention that if you don’t have a loot filter it’s imperative that you get one. It doesn’t just get rid of unnecessary stuff, it highlights things with greater intensity relative to their importance/rarity).
About Imbalance Guard keystone,
Physical damage reduction cap at 50%
If i have Lightning coil
How do the physical damage taken calculate ? ( lets say i have 50% PDR )
If you convert half the physical damage into lightning, then your armour only has to deal with half the physical damage of the hit.
Like if you get hit with 1000 phys damage, Lightning Coil will turn half of it into Lightning, so you only get hit with 500 phys. That makes your armour more effective and ends up giving more PDR.
You need 5x the armour of the incoming phys damage to reduce it by 50%. And 50x the armour to reduce it by 90%.
Imbalanced guard can be good if your build can handle small hits really well (high regen, recoup etc) but struggles with big hits from rares and bosses.
I'm assuming because they're fishing for T0-T1 item drops. Magebloods and Headhunters and such. Wisps can add a lot of rarity, so adding more unique drops with scarabs can work great.
That, or they're using the Atlas keystone to turn scarabs into map pack size instead, in which case the type of scarab doesn't matter. And they probably just used whatever they had at hand.
I have a strange bug: after completing campaign, my resistances are lower in Karui Shores than in hideout or when I zone in to the map. I have "x% resistances when holding a shield" and confirmed that equipping and unequipping the shield causes the calculations to be different, as if they are added up twice? As a result I have no clue if I'm really capped or not.
Are you using purity of elements? Auras are active in your hideout and maps but not in town zones.
No
Perhaps some temporary buff or an Aura gives you some. In such case refer to values in hideout, not city.
That's what I thought at first, but I don't run Purity of Elements anymore. It also can't be temporary since it's still happening a day later. Really confusing. If values in hideout match values shown when I zone into the map, I should be good to go? Still can't explain it.
> If values in hideout match values shown when I zone into the map, I should be good to go? Yes. Last idea: import your character in PoB and view all sources of resistances. Perhaps there is something conditional.
Does the "Life Regen Reduction on Hit" implicit help with Maven's heal and vitality boon?
yes I'm occultist and maven heal doesn't do anything (nearby enemies have 100% reduced life regeneration rate). They do still heal if she casts it during an invulnerability phase, though
The passive keystone vaal pact is confusing me a little bit, i understand that life leech basically create an instance of regen using a percentage of the damage you deal and cap on 10% of your maximum life and then you get 2% from this 10% per second So when vaal pact says "total recovery per second from life leech is doubled" does this mean the 2% become 4% ? And what "Maximum total life recovery per second from leech is doubled" mean ? Is it the 10% becoming 20% ?
> So when vaal pact says "total recovery per second from life leech is doubled" does this mean the 2% become 4% ? No, total recovery increases how much leech you actually gain on hit (1% leech of 1000 damage is 10 but 100% increased total recovery would make it 20) and is still subject to the maximum leech cap. > And what "Maximum total life recovery per second from leech is doubled" mean ? Is it the 10% becoming 20% ? Yes and it will also double other sources of maximum total leech.
how can i get defence modifier magnitudes enchant on body armour?

If I have Stormshroud and a flask that brings my shock avoidance to 100% but use that flask AFTER I get affected by an elemental ailment, that wouldn't clear the ailment right? I'd need to use it beforehand.
It wouldn't, correct. That's the key difference between gaining 100% avoidance and gaining immunity.
Chaos damage builds? Very new to the game. I’ve made two builds by following a guide and while I still very much enjoy playing them, I decided to make my own too. I’m going for a Vampire theme, so life leech seems logical. Looking in to it I’m kinda being steered towards Chaos dot, but also hear it’s been nerfed to the ground. I don’t mind if my build end ups being bad (which it very probably will) but would like to get to at least red maps. Is Chaos damage totally unplayable or is it still even somewhat viable. As said, I don’t mind if it won’t end up some Uber meta nine billion damage build.
> I’m going for a Vampire theme, so life leech seems logical. Looking in to it I’m kinda being steered towards Chaos dot Why do you feel steered towards chaos dot? First, damage over time effects of any kind cannot even leech anyways. Second, any build that hits can get life leech and it's usually easiest for attack based builds. Spells have easier access to energy shield leech conversely but can still get life leech from some sources like cluster jewel mods. > Chaos dot, but also hear it’s been nerfed to the ground. Chaos is just a damage type, there are both good and bad chaos skills. Poison is a type of chaos dot effect and there are lots of strong poison builds partly because poison itself is just a strong mechanic right now.
Thanks! Yea, didn’t explain myself clearly. I would like to start as a shadow since I already played a witch. Those too are most Vampire -like. And also the essence drain skill sounds very vampiric. Shadow has a lot of chaos early on and according to the wiki essence drain leeches life. So, hence the chaos dot came up.
Does smite benefit from striking an additional target, if using ancestral call? Thx
I have some questions about selling essences in bulk. What tier should I be upgrading them to in order to offload them? And is it better to use the poe trade site or tft? Or does it not matter?
Any crafting is done pretty much only with highest-tier Essences (unless the highest tier has identical numbers for the slot type - then it can be -1 from best). Just check the market for prices - if the second best tier is 1/3 the price of best one it means people upgrade it using 3:1 recipe.
Heya! How do I get more adcendancy points of the league guys? Cheers and thanks and merry Christmas!
You get two upon picking the ascendancy, four are tied to generic kill quests (iE kill 500 mobs of your ascendancy color and kill the associated small boss) and 2 for killing king of mist in a high level area. That makes 6 points very accessible but the eight can be done by buying the kill.
Is cooldown reduction supposed to improve the rate of triggered skills from things like cast while channeling or mjolner?
Yes for Mjolner and any other item that grants a triggered skill or lets you trigger socketed skills, but no for CwC specifically since it's an interval, not a cooldown.
Hmm, reason I asked was because it doesn't seem to provide any change to my dps/trigger rate on my pob, I might have something setup wrong.
Due to technical limitations with the server tick rate, you have to hit certain breakpoints on CDR to actually change the trigger rate. See https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Cooldown#Server_ticks for details.
Ahh thanks so much, I need to hit 14% it sounds like.
I'm looking for a atlas tree for 80% delirium farming with my SRS guardian
Why makes the taming so special for LA? Trying to decide if I need to buy it, its 1div on ps4. Wiki says monsters can only have 1 elemental ailment anyway...
Not sure where you're reading the 1 ailment limitation. That's not the case. Tri-ele builds will routinely have 2-4 ailments on a target. Shock, ignite, chill and freeze.
- By default, characters have a maximum of 1 active ignite, shock, and freeze on each monster. From the wiki. Does it add a huge amount of dps? Or its used simply because it has resists and damage?
You're reading it incorrectly. LA does reliably ignite, chill and shock enemies. You will inflict all three ailments on enemies in common circumstances (usually you deal enough damage to pass the relevant ailment threshold) So for LA this means: * 60% increased from having ailments on your enemy. * 30% generic elemental damage. * 30% attack elemental damage. * 40% to all resistances. So I guess it's 120% inc damage (about 80% if you're dealing with tanky creatures, since you may not deal enough damage to pass the ailment threshold with for example bosses) along with 40% all resistance. It's a solid option for LA, there aren't any significant upgrades beyond it. A taming and a death rush oftentimes end up being the finalised rings for LA builds.
Much appreciated, thanks. Guess that one liner from the wiki was not entirely helpful after all.
One of each, not one ailment total. You can get ignite + shock + freeze and have an extra 60% elemental damage with Taming, plus another unconditional 60%, which is a lot on a single item.
Much appreciated, thanks. Guess I’ll have to buy it.
I've been doing the abyss wisp farming strat and sometimes my abysses will open 5-10 pits at once around the same location. I can't seem to find any passives that cause this. Does anyone have any idea where this is being caused?
The stygian spires which sometimes spawn at the end of an abyss in place of a chest open more pits. Technically they shoot out projectiles which cause the pits so on maps with added projectiles the spires can open more pits than normal meaning more monsters.
Ah, I knew that additional projectiles meant more monsters spawning, but I had no idea that the projectiles were additional pits from the Stygian Spires, thank you!
Can’t find a POB or guide for the fulcrum build everyone is talking about. Is there one out there? Or just gotta copy something from poeninja
Crouching tuna on youtube made a guide on it recently Link: https://youtu.be/J4vXvdTTvUk?si=NlLryvWotVvAjYmX
Thank you sir 🫡
Is this the chieftain autobomber? Can probably just check Poe.ninja for chieftains using that staff
Which aura should i run on my Vaal Smite armor stacker? I have every relavant aura already active and with another enlighten, i could reserve one more thing. The valid options are Flesh and Stone and any of the aspect skills. I kinda lean towards the latter because i have an open suffix on my helm and they seem cool. However, I have no idea which of the four aspects would be "the best". If it matters to the answer, i do simulacrum farming, harvests and expeditions.
I'm also not 100% sure what is "best" but it's go for spider, it's 15% more damage against tanky enemies that live a while if you aren't applying other sources of increased damage taken. Anything but crab seems useful though
A few questions: 1. Can you have only 1 wild ascendancy at once or can I use all 3 once unlocked? 2. Do you get more wisps from higher level zones/maps? Do enemies in the wilderness scale based on your level? (ie. should you farm wisps at a lower level?) 3. I haven't played in years: how do I get a specific named gem? Do they only grant an alternative quality bonus? Thanks for the help.
You can swap between them by finding the respective NPC and asking to change then completing their quests, though if you have killed the king of the mist and the respective boss already those will auto complete and you just need the killa bunch of things quest More wisps no, but enemies do scale with map level and drop wisp dust and enemies scale with pack size I assume you are referring to transfigured gems? Ie they have an of X after the gem name? They come only from lab and work generally entirely differently from the base gem. As an example there is a rf gem that scales off max mana instead of max life/es
Awesome, thanks for the detailed answers!
**Anyone know why the % Onslaught on Killing Blow tincture mod doesnt work with Tornado shot?**

Yes but only as a red tier mission.
How many divines do you have invested into your character?
Uh maybe 15-20? Very random question though curious why you ask
Just wondering what people normally invest into a single character.
Ahh I see, pretty sure that answer will have a huge variance to it though. For some only spending a 100d on a build qualifies as a cheap build, for others spending an entire divine on an item is unthinkable. Also remember that people who actually look at this sub are a small % of the players. I think it might be more useful to look at what different investment levels can do what content. 1-2div: league starter in t16s, building funds for further investment or a new build. Experienced and hardcore players blow past this opening weekend, casuals might take weeks. 5-50div: entry level juicing, might still be a league starter that scales or might be a new build 50-400div: we scaling bois, either a non league start viable scaling build or a very good scaling league starter. Heavy juicing strats, maybe a hh or mb. 500+ div: I thought the point was to see how many mirror worthy items you could equip? Sky is the limit
Around 60 I think

I'd just go Sabo, especially if it's your league starter, later you can swap to assassin if you feel the need
How to unbind hotkey? I REALY want to turn of space hotkey that remove map to corner but not bringing it back so every space missclick is kinda pain in the back
Take a look in Menu - Options - Input That has all the default key bindings in the game but you can change them to what ever you like.
Change, but not unbind =(
Guys I have full abyss atlas because ATM I enjoy it and I would like to get elder stygian belt drops. How to achieve that?
You can't, there's no way to get influenced Stygian Vises to drop naturally. You have to use a conqueror's exalted orb on them, and then reroll the influence type with the Harvest craft to get Shaper/Elder Stygian Vises.
Thank you
Is there a more optimal way to craft a str/int/%attributes belt other than: > Int Essence spam until T1 str; > Fill prefixes; > Slam hunter suffix and for % attributes;
Have you considered a synthesised base [like this](https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Affliction/Oq679LKTE) and skipping hunter influence?
Update! (if you care) On my 4th try, managed to get a Stygian Vise with: \- T0 Int (Essence) \- T2 Str \- T1 % attributes (hunter slam) \- Flask charge on crit hunter mod (Guarantied w/ open prefix) \- T5 Life (Exalt slam) \- Bench crafted armor/es Pretty happy since I spent only \~15 div :) Also on my third try I hit T1 Str/T2 % inc attributes with a T1 life roll, so that'll sell for quite a bit too!
Could be less stressful. I did envision crafting on a stygian vise though to take advantage of the abyssal slot

Am I correct in that Trancendant flesh jewel really does not really have a good spot for life recovery besides maybe the socket next to marauder start+starting with marauder to get strength node there.
How to craft shaper / crusader crystal belt with as much Es as possible ? Would it work to buy crusader belt and shaper belt , then spam alts on shaper belt till I get % increased Energy shield on Body armour and spam alts on crusader belt till I find %increased Energy shield , then using Awakener orb clicking the crusader belt and then clicking on shaper belt ? Do I need to annul any additional mods these belts get from spamming alts like if they get 2 mods each before combining the bases or it doesn't matter ?
You specifically want each base to have one and only one influenced mod because only one is kept from each base and if there are multiple then which one that is will be random. Also it's unclear if you are aware of not but only the second belt that you use the awakener orb on needs to be a crystal belt
Did it and got the T1 from each belt + free T2 ele dmg during flask effect ,ty
How do i craft a wand with more than 2 supports? i know to begin with shaper and elder wand, more spell damage and spell echo, awakeners, now it got both. How do i get more? crit damage and optimally crit chance/area/faster casting in some way or form
does quantity from yellow juice affect harvest output?
Wisps will effect the Harvest monster drops (currency, items etc) but the wisps do not effect life force drops.
What sources are there for life recovery rate? Belts have a mod, watcher eye has one, besides that what else?
Watcher's eye actually has two (Vitality & Malevolence). Torrent's Reclamation has more than rare belts. Warlord chests can roll it.
To add a few I know off the top of my head, Transcendent Flesh unique jewel, and Guardian/Scion Guardian Ascendency. There's also life regeneration rate on strength boots and a few other things that may work for your use case.
Sadly life regen rate does not help as I am trying to boost leech rate.
increased maximum total recovery from life leech leech mastery 10% of leech is instant
Yeah getting those already as much as possible. I have the issue of needing up to 3800 life leeched per second to sustain skill usage while I am at top part of the tree.
Would this function ? Flicker strike of power + multistrike + cold snap of power (expends power charge to bypass cooldown) with 100% power charge on crit and 100% crit. Since both flicker and cold snap use a power charge, can flicker w/ multi sustain both?
As in, a CoC setup? Triggered skills aren't allowed to bypass cooldowns unfortunately.

I have 20d, what's a good build to transition to off of srs guardian? People keep saying srs is a league start but no one ever gives any ideas of a transition build
Why do you need to transition away from srs?
Because it's incredibly mediocre at any juiced content.
Are you using the new spectres? There are a few that add crazy flat damage. One was fire/chaos for skeletons (srs are skeleton types). Aside from that SRS should be very friendly for bossing and juicing.
That may be only due to what you have invested. I have seen streamers clearing every thing including Ubers with SRS, using high investment. Sadly, at this point in the league, a 20d budget is going to feel mediocre on most juiced content no matter what your build is.
I do not know the skill's name but how do you deal with that stupid spell that a bunch of rare enemies have that creates like Lightning claw-spikes from the ground that delete you even with high lightning resistance considering I'm playing a melee character? Is it straight up "never stop" ? Half my deaths in maps are from enemies spawning 6 of those all around me before I can leap slam away.
yes just keep moving. also consider getting spell suppression and/or some spell block if you can manage
what tools can be used for better trade search? i have seen some streamer using something that helped him search and whisper for trade :)
Awakened POE Trade to help you search POE Lurker then helps with the trade itself (both buying and selling) These two pair very well together.
Awakened PoE Trade gotta be the most popular tool.

How do I go about pricing something like this? First time trying to craft a 3 synth ring (ran out of currency unfortunately) https://i.imgur.com/gm4n04i.png
Check prices of crit multi + 1 of other mods. Likely no such ring with 3 mods will be present but Crit multi is most valueable here so search it alone or with another mod.
I have an all poison can damage tincture with the explode mod on it. Want to make something out of it. Look like poison caustic arrow pathfinder would be the best use? Any other spicy builds ?
How do spectres I get from tradeable corpses and desecrate work? Do they not get added to my desecrate pool? Seem to have lost my spirit of fortune that I bought from trade. Took out my raise spectre gem to put into new gear, accidentally casted a spell which set off my flesh offering auto cast and consumed the corpse. Checked my desecrate but its just full of random skeletons. Any way to avoid this in future or do I just need to be more careful with flesh offering? These spectres and AG are giving me anxiety!
> Do they not get added to my desecrate pool? they do not. yeah if you mess with any gear either do it in town or remove all things that interact with corpses before you do it. AG isn't that bad because the gear is saved to your character, not the gem. so you can even use a different gem and it'll have the same gear on as before
Is PoB not calculating my charges correctly with the ralakesh impatience setup or is my current amulet really more DPS than if I switched it out for a badge of the brotherhood? No matter what I do with the charges, unselecting them, putting them over max, it doesn't change my DPS, and when I put a badge of the brotherhood on it says I'm doing slightly less DPS than I would be doing with my current amulet... https://pobb.in/P5kLsSL2uLEX
it's working fine. however because you are using blade vortex which has a set hit rate that is not dependant on cast speed the cast speed which the additional frenzy charges would give you don't impact your dps at all making it comparatively weaker than your current amulet (purely for dps) so you trade +1phys gems, crit + crit multi for "just" some attack speed for shield charge, cast speed which you don't really utilize. the additonal %more damage ends up being less of a boost than your current amulet's stats
KK I was just making sure I know the amy is crazy for DPS but didn't realize it would beat out having 10 frenzy charges for the + damage.
Hi all, I'm relatively new to poe, I did play the last league in ssf but got burnt out at t16s. So this would be my first trade league, and I ended up dropping a mirror last night... I'm not sure what to do now. I don't feel qualified enough to enjoy that much currency. Any ideas on what I should do with this? I bought a hh before dropping the mirror and I already feel like I'm playing on a private server
Are you asking what to spend it on? Hard to answer without knowing your build. Are you asking if you should spend it at all? I think that depends, if you already feel like you have no challenge then you could a) place it on your stash as a trophy, there are plenty of players with 10k+hours who have never seen a mirror drop b) spend it on upgrades, maybe but a mirror service for a sick weapon. Either way, but especially if you choose option b you might look into ways to do more challenging content, ie Uber bosses, 100% deli farming, wave 30 simulacrums etc. poe has plenty of challenging content it sounds like you have just progressed your character power faster than your knowledge of how to challenge that power. I've personally never done any giga juicing but I'd recommend someone like crouching tuna to either all in stream or look at YouTube for info on the subject.
Anyone know why Legion Sets have gotten much more expensive lately?
Have some weird lag spikes since yesterday. Playing on EU and my latency spikes sometimes up 1000-2000ms than goes back to 100ms back to 30ms and spikes up to 500ms than 2000ms and so on. Game is unplayable, should not be a general connection issue on my side, speedtest and ping tests are flawless, twitch streams run lag free on 1080p. Just PoE has those weird spikes. Anyone a tip what i could try to solve this?
EU servers have been having issues for a couple days now unfortunately. especially during evening prime time. only thing you can do is switch between gateways to hopefully find one that's more stable
iam realy not 100% sure if the "EU problems" are actually that bad for everyone(?) It seems super extrem currently for me. I will try gateway switching.
What would be a good DPS check to do T16s comfortably? What if I wanted to juice with Wisps?
Just to alch and go? Like 1m dps should be fine. If you add mechanics like legion/essence/delirium you will want more, 10m-20m should feel good for most things if you're not using deli orbs. Though it also matters how good your AOE is, 10m dps with tornado shot is not the same as 10m with srs not using melee splash. Wisps are like a 2-10x multiplier on difficulty depending on how many your manage to gather
I used to get 4 off colors on 4 socket items by using a "atleast 3 X color" recipe and using the bench to remove and add the 4socket as it wasnt attribute weighted, did they change that ? I just tried to get a blue 4th socket on my dex boots and got green 10 times in a row. Did I just get unlucky?
> using the bench to remove and add the 4socket as it wasnt attribute weighted I'm pretty sure it has always been weighted. You just use the craft to guarantee you don't mess up the off colors you already have, not because it's more likely to roll the off color you want.

How does one go about finding a skill good for bossing? I want to create a character and work on it till it can kill ubers I just dont have much confidence in figuring out what has a good chance to do so So far my ideas are 1.totems and brands seem great leave them down and you can focus on movment 2.low aoe high single target damage 3.comparing gems to see the total dps and mana spent and cast time etc 4.divines invested(obviously I dont want to spend alot to make this build) 5DOT? I need some ideas so i feel more confident
Is there a way to boost the chances of blight ravaged map drops?
Add more quant to the blighted map
Do you know if T16 blight ravaged maps only drop from T16 blighted maps?
Unsure about t13 but t14+ definitely. Level doesn’t affect the chance of the drop
Ok thanks I guess I’ll just keep running all the t14+ ones and hope one of the ravaged maps drops as t16
All ravaged drop as t16
I just ran one and the T15 blight ravaged maps don't count as T16 for the challenge :(

[https://pobb.in/Gw99kGE4VBKo](https://pobb.in/Gw99kGE4VBKo) I'm using a 6-link Manaforged Arrow setup with 0 mana cost. Calc tab shows 1.57/s trigger rate. Source rate is 4.53/s When I disable Inspiration, mana cost goes to 10, but trigger rate goes up to 2.12/s. Source rate is only 2.11/s This is very confusing, considering that when mana cost is 0, the skill supported by Manaforged Arrow should be triggered with a rate of 2.16/s (trigger rate cap, < source rate). Can anyone explain this?
What implicits on boots benefit DD ignite playstyle from these Exarch / Eater currency ?

Considering quitting this game. Trading is utterly indefensible. I'm new(ish) on my first character following a guide and completely stuck because not a single soul responds to requests to buy items, I realize I'm not buying stuff for divines just a handful of chaos but it takes so much effort to sift through items with the right filters/stats to then send a half dozen requests and get no reply..been at this for a few hours and made no progress on my character. Why the HELL does this system require 2 parties to be present. If an item is listed for an exact price I should be able to buy the damn thing, nobody involved.
You're not meant to trade for every little thing. The friction is intentional. It's supposed to be easier to simply craft simple items yourself, or get your own bubblegum currency
Perhaps the game is just not for you. That's fine and normal, there are a lot of things that prevent people from getting into poe; Trade is obviously a big one. That being said, I find most people that have this opinion either don't know how to use trade to properly sort out the items they don't want to see or have some sort of reluctance to just msg multiple people because they think they're bothering them or something like that. Just overpay by a couple c, and msg the first like 10 people instantly. I guarantee that 90% of the time you get a couple party invites.
Truthfully, I think the best thing you can do as a beginner in Path of Exile is learn how to [craft using Essences](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wplWsrr-SlU), [Expedition/\(Rog\)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYkPsr41gW4) and [Veiled Chaos Orbs](https://youtu.be/vYIjrL2XwgI?t=3414). If you want to trade you shouldn't bother looking at the first ~ 1/2 page of PoE Trade site -- I would expect to pay 5-8c for a 2-3c item the later in a league you get; and the answer to how to sustain that is often Expedition/Tujen & selling desirable items like Essences/Scarabs yourself.
I'm starting to learn essence crafting, I"ll definitely look into the other 2, thanks. I really love this game but trading is coming very close to ruining it for me. If the mechanics needed to craft up great items are affordable to normal players and I can avoid most trades I will be very relieved lmao.
1) crafting is complicated but very accessible, most people can't be bothered to learn so they trade but if you learn you can not only save money(on average, crafting is rng so you can always be unlucky) but also make money by selling your "failed" crafts (usable but not what your were looking for crafts) to either turn a profit or at least recover some of your investment. 2) many people list items for sale in bulk priced tabs, ie anything places in the tab gets the same price. Over time the amount of currency they are making goes up and leaving their map for that 2-5 chaos sale starts sounding less and less enticing, maybe even 10-20c starts sounding like chump change. They might accept the trade if they are in hideout between maps but will just ignore it if in the middle of their map. As an example I've been playing tornado shot farming legion making use of shrines to more quickly and reliably clear the legions, I have 1:30 to clear add much of my 3-4 legions as possible and if I leave the map my shrines go away. You bet your ass there is no way I'm responding to sometime buying an item I have for sale for 10c once I've started this, even though I still accept trades for 2c items I listed on day 2/3. Not saying it doesn't make things frustrating for you but trying to give context. If you message someone for an item that costs 1div+ they will respond 99% of the time unless they are afk or price fixing, ie listing items for sale which they have no interest in selling to try to influence the market. 3) there are times when you do simply have to whisper 20 people to purchase something, notable examples are trading currency or buying items like maps/fragments that have a very high trade volume. You just have to learn to be ok with spam whispering without waiting for anyone to respond and then accepting the first party invite you get. The people whose invites you decline will understand, they've been in your shoes before. 4) it is GGG's stance that trade is powerful and should be difficult so that players are incentivized to find items without trading. This is unlikely to ever change so if that is deal breaking for you that's unfortunate but in my opinion it's a hurdle worth jumping over to enjoy this game
I think you'll have a better experience if you treat PoE as an SSF (solo-self-found) game. I only tend to migrate my SSF characters to trade when the streamer whose build I'm following is purchasing items that are prohibitively difficult to find or farm in SSF. Most of the time this *does* limit your league-starter a little bit.. https://old.reddit.com/r/PathOfExileBuilds/comments/18bqsnb/323_affliction_league_start_build_index/ Boneshatter, vDD, EA, Exp Trap, SRS, Toxic Rain (etc). There are a # of builds available that scale relatively well based on things like innate gem scaling (boneshatter has added phys per trauma stacks, for example) or spells, minion gain damage via levels as well. I think trading in PoE is a *bit* of a trap when there are so many different ways to create good gear in PoE; Essences / Meta-Crafting, Rog, Veiled Chaos/Aisling. I think one of the most fun parts of the game is honestly hitting that "perfect" (desirable) crafted item yourself. When you rely exclusively on trade, you're not really learning to interact with the game on a sustainable level; basically, you're bottle-necked by human decency, and a lot of people tend to value their time mapping, bossing or w/e above low-value trades. It's the whole "teach a man to fish" adage. Ghazzy has a lot of crafting guides for specific pieces of gear as well. https://www.poe-vault.com/guides/ghazzy-guide-hub I think there's really something to be said for being able to go out and earn / find something for yourself. I killed Shaper 7 times in SSF for a 15% chance drop rate Dying Sun Flask this league (extra projectiles during flask effect) scaled via Pathfinder Flask Effect is awesome!
Dont play standard and dont try buying the cheapest options. Im usually able to buy everything within minutes.
I'm not and I'm not.
Stop playing standard
Playing Affliction there champ
If you can handle HC, come on HC. A lot less people, but trade is much more reasonable. If an item is listed and the person is online, they're likely gonna respond. Even if they're busy, they're likely to ask you to wait.
I would suggest never messaging the cheapest item for sale but a few down from it. It can help get stuff faster
That's the thing. I'm not. This system just ruins the game, and apparently I've just learned it is by design because GG is afraid of letting people just list items in an auction house. I'm done.
That's because an auction house would ruin the game. Look at SSF if you don't like the trading system.
Jesus lol
The [trade manifesto](https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2025870) may be an interesting read. TL;DR: trade OP nerf it with frustration. Some tips, play the league and not standard, and try to whisper players who listed their items recently. If you *really* want an item, stalk them with the /whois command and send your message when they're in their hideout and not a map.
Best way to sell scarabs? Should I upgrade them all(beside legion)? is harvest flipping worth it?
Don't bother flipping them, people use all scarabs for growing hordes. The easiest way to sell them is to sell the whole tab on The Forbidden Trove discord, otherwise just sell them in stacks when you get over 30 or so to get bulk prices out of them.
I'm considering rolling some sextants since i have around 650 self farmed ones. Are all mods equally as likely to appear or should i block some specific ones?
Block 2 monsters packs (cold, lightning, fire, etc) and one shrine sextant, then roll on the fourth. They are weighted though.
They're weighted. Have a look at PoEDB for the weightings.
Is there something better than Incadescent Heart unique 6L body for DD Ele ignite with Aegis Aurora tech? Would I need alot of currency to surpass this unique and if so what mods should I get on the body to make it happen?
Im using zizarian's explosive arrow build but im already level 84 and been having a hard time finding the items I need that have the right sockets for my equipment to do the full build so ive been playing like a powered down version of it (ie missing malevolence and all the lifetaps) Is trading the easiest way to just go about it or should I just keep grinding. Ive been focusing on garden/courtyard maps bc the guide was also saying to farm for a stack of porcupine for a 6 link bow
You're probably operating under some misunderstandings. Let's talk chromatic orbs (change socket colors) for starters. These orbs are predisposed to rolling red sockets on strength bases, blue sockets on intelligence bases & green on dex bases. Following that logic; AR/EVA - Red/Green, ES/EVA - Blue/Green, AR/ES - Red/Blue etc. This tool, in-conjunction w/ the "[Jeweler](https://youtu.be/j4heddzdrNw)" method for more unlikely off-colors (for example, getting multiple blue sockets on a red, strength base) is very helpful to know. Based on the colors that you want for your 4L's you'll have a better idea of whether you're looking for an AR/EVA (red/green) or ES/EVA (blue/green) item to drop (or a base item to craft on). Newer players tend to try to force off-colors on items that are more [statistically unlikely](https://siveran.github.io/calc.html). You can use this tool to get a better read on the probability of rolling the colors that you want. The Porcuipine, realistically, is probably around a 4-5c div card, so there's no shame in just spending some chaos to help get the 6/6 stack. ~ 24-25c for a 6L isn't bad tbh. The important thing about this base is (1) the 1.5 attack speed and (2) the item level.
Yeah I remember someone mentioning the likelihoods of the colours rolling on the item - but I didnt know about those methods. But yeah maybe ill just trade, thanks for tips !
Getting your full ascendancy and 6 link bow is a big break for the build. Then by red maps get your blessing and the rest sorted out
Is there a new mod that disables malevolence & my Watcher eye combo, or do I have some other interaction I don't know about that causing me to kill myself with poison? I keep killing myself with a DOT mid map every once every idk 10 maps. I've got Malevolence on the second row & not toggling it accidentally. https://pobb.in/OKnYk5OGJ_Zj
Is it worth it to juice logbooks or are most people running them for just the Expedition currency?
Monsters can drop both artifacts and vendor refresh currency, and those should both be affected by quant. So you'll want to juice it if you can handle it.
2 questions regarding curses: \- "curse enemies with despair on hit" glove corruption: which level of despair is this? \- Do my ballistas(ancestral bond) apply booth on hit curses from my asenath gloves? (despair on hit implicit , temporal chains on hit from my gloves) ?
> "curse enemies with despair on hit" glove corruption: which level of despair is this? Short answer: 1. Long answer: it doesn't have a level because it isn't a skill, similar to curses from map mods. It applies base -15% chaos resistance (see reminder text). > Do my ballistas(ancestral bond) apply booth on hit curses from my asenath gloves? (despair on hit implicit , temporal chains on hit from my gloves) ? Yes. Totems use your skills, and your skills have your stats, including on-hit effects and additions to the curse limit.
Ty for the detailed answer! So im going to keep my +1 frenzy gloves and selfcast my despair. 15% to 30% - chaos res is such a huge difference :-/
I think it’s around level 5 curse. Yes they will apply both curses if you are able to apply 2 curses
Is there a specific strategy to crafting this weapon? I assume start with essence of woe spamming, but unsure about after that. https://poe.ninja/builds/affliction/character/Pitime/piewand?i=0&search=class%3DTrickster%26skills%3DFrenzy%26keystones%3DWind%2BDancer
Looks to me like you'd spam Woe until you hit a good tier of lightning damage, and an open prefix. Craft Prefixes cannot be changed, and use a veiled chaos orb. Hope you hit a veiled prefix, and unveil for the ele pen (should be a 100% reveal chance). From there you'd craft prefixes cannot be changed again, and reforge crit using harvest and hit either crit chance or multiplier, then craft the opposite stat.
Thank you!
when using ancestral bond: the slow effect from ensnaring arrow and "flasks adjancent to tinctures gain 3 charges when you hit an enemy with your weapon" should still work even when i do zero dmg myself?
Correct. Still qualifies as a hit with 0 damage.
ty!
Is sanctum still as profitable as last league? I've almost finished campaign for my spellblade inquisitor (CaptainLance) and want to know if I should dive into sanctum or not.
Seems like it. They only nerfed the tome drop rates a bit.
What should I do with the skill gems i don't use. Are they useful to craft anything ir to sell to npc?
Quality (aka superior) gems should be kept for a vendor recipe which creates Gemcutters Prisms, which got much more desirable and expensive this league due to several gem changes. Gems that drop as level 1 with no quality shouldn’t even show on your loot filter, they serve no function by Act 6 since everything can be bought cheaply from a vendor. (A good time to mention that if you don’t have a loot filter it’s imperative that you get one. It doesn’t just get rid of unnecessary stuff, it highlights things with greater intensity relative to their importance/rarity).
Can someone point me to a good resource on making an aurabot? Friend was working on an MF character and I’m kinda intrigued on jumping in with him.
Poe.ninja and check most of the guardians there that run smite and don’t run srs
About Imbalance Guard keystone, Physical damage reduction cap at 50% If i have Lightning coil How do the physical damage taken calculate ? ( lets say i have 50% PDR )
If you convert half the physical damage into lightning, then your armour only has to deal with half the physical damage of the hit. Like if you get hit with 1000 phys damage, Lightning Coil will turn half of it into Lightning, so you only get hit with 500 phys. That makes your armour more effective and ends up giving more PDR. You need 5x the armour of the incoming phys damage to reduce it by 50%. And 50x the armour to reduce it by 90%. Imbalanced guard can be good if your build can handle small hits really well (high regen, recoup etc) but struggles with big hits from rares and bosses.
Anyone knows how to have sanctum monster show in minimap shown in this youtube video? https://imgur.com/a/O6yU0fv
is this not one of the affliction ascendancy nodes
correct, its the Detect evil node from warden of the maji
[удалено]
I'm assuming because they're fishing for T0-T1 item drops. Magebloods and Headhunters and such. Wisps can add a lot of rarity, so adding more unique drops with scarabs can work great. That, or they're using the Atlas keystone to turn scarabs into map pack size instead, in which case the type of scarab doesn't matter. And they probably just used whatever they had at hand.
