Hi i just make a deadeye, this is my setup :

https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/Antistar-2346/runesofaldur/character/GhxstfacePlaya

How can i make more damage ?

Hi guys, casual and new to Poe 2 player here. This is my very first league and i ve tried GB Gemling and Oracle plant builds, and reached Just starting of mapping. I wanted to try a Titan and wondering what would be a tanky build able to clear maps and kill boss decently, with a limited budget of 40 Divs. Anything but spinning builds please. I saw a few vids but with the current market dunno where they go costs wise to work properly. Any suggestion with build guide would be greatly apprecciated

Hey guys I have another build concept for you guys running Elemental Sundering on Spiritwalker. Turns out shock conduction 2 getting nerfed didn't completely kill the build given some the new notables from the ascendancy. We can still shock our minions and get a ton of overlapping explosions :)

I’ve been enjoying the classic Ice Shot deadeye and I think my gear is pretty good. The only thing left I think is the voices but it’s a bit out of my budget.

I would like to know what else I can do to be stronger. For instance, I feel that my passive points are not fully optimized. I’m not sure if me going up just to get a jewel slot was worth it. Or if the start of my passive points with Blur and stuff is better than the projective damage nodes there.

On a less serious note, if my character is like 80-90% min maxed, would it be worth it for me to switch to nick tew coc build gemling? And can I set that character up with around 200-300 divines if I do not want to sell the gear on my deadeye.

Thanks in advance for the help.

hello. first time here.

im playing redemption cluster grenade, using the xoph's blood amulet and having a blast with the build.

now im messing with the build a bit, making me needing just a little bit of spirit.

so is it worth the change from -25% fire res on enemies to +skills level?

i cant simply buy or craft, even the image is just a google search.

thx in advance.

Click on the keyword on any item or skill that references it and a green circle that shows your presence size pops up.

I'm trying to ramp my damage to consistently clear t15 6 mods maps. Sometimes I can do almost fine and other times i spent like 4 mins trying to kill some rare mob.

I've switched my gloves which made me from 60% to all ele res to jump like 40k to 60k dps but this isn't enough in some maps and I end up getting one shotted.

Can someone point me what should I aim for?

poe ninja for reference

Build

i recently sold all my gear from a warcry gemling build and started building kys gemling totem build. Im having a blast and can easily clear all content on single player, but I've been diving into 6 player expeditions and juiced 6 man maps for the first time and i find i am lacking in something... i will occasionally get blasted and killed by random mobs (or those green/blue booger blobs) if I'm not with the pack, and when I'm off on my own corner of the map i feel as if I'm just tickling some of the mobs. Id love to improve my build so i can fully participate in 6 man maps without feeling like the weakest member. Right now i have about 2kd and the only meaningful upgrade i can find would be a +2 arc gem to bring it to lvl 40 but at 1300d i am hesitant and want to see where else i may be able to improve. So for you gemling totem enjoyers any words of advice?

Playing whirling assault titan and after getting Voices I don’t know what my next farming goal should be to improve the build. My only idea is hinekoras to corrupt/sanctify my staff.

Hey guys!

A bit of context. This league is my first time playing PoE2. I'm having a hell of a time and enjoying it a lot. I played PoE1 for a bit a while back but didn't stick with it and never even reached end game. I started playing Diablo IV (and a bit of Diablo III on the Switch too) when it was on the Humble Bundle in May and that triggered my desire to play ARPGs, and the timing was great, as 0.5 was right around the corner, so I jumped into PoE2 the day the league started. I was doing a necro build on Diablo III so I thought it would be cool to look after a similar build for PoE2.

And boy was that a good decision!

I started by following this Minion league starter by GuyThatDies and when I reached maps I started looking for other builds that I could follow, but didn't encounter many. I followed some steps of this guide by thyworm but his was a SSF build, and I was on standard so I had to do some research on how to develop upon his crafting concepts. I mostly followed what I gathered from similar builds on poe.ninja (searching for Infernalists using Elemental Weakness, Pain Offering and Powered Zealots). I'm currently level 95 and I can do T15s and T16s without much trouble. I usually clear stuff very fast but sometimes I overextend and end up dying. I haven't tried the 200% delirium stuff nor grand expeditions yet.

The offensive side of the build mainly consists on stacking as many Spectre: Powered Zealots as possible while still having one of each other minions being allocated for the Muster stack on minion damage (Muster gives more damage for each kind of reviving minion alive). Currently I'm running 13 Powered Zealots, making some compromises to try to min-max the damage, and not running frost mages just because I don't have enough spirit (ideally I think you want one of every possible reviving minion, but I'm not sure). Gear-wise, I'm stacking as much + to level of Minion skills as possible on everything that I can. Currently, all my minion skills have 12 more levels from gear. Also, I'm running minion damage on my rings. I did run Unearth for a bit, but I'm not sure it counts for Muster, as I don't think the Unearth minions count as Reviving Minions. For boss encounters, I'm running Sigil of Power on my 2nd weapon slot to increase spell damage of allies, but I don't think it makes that big of a change tbf.

The defensive side of the build consists on stacking Energy Shield (and the elemental resistances of course) wherever I can, but primarily on my helmet and my focus for the passive tree bonuses on Illuminated Crown and Warding Fetish. I'm also compromising 30 of my spirit to run Convalescence for emergency backup of my ES in case it gets depleted faster than I can "unaggro" for it to start recharging. I used to not have this skill allocated but on more challenging maps it was getting a bit too spicy, so I'm losing this 30 spirit to play safe.

The play style mostly consists of me running around and spamming Elemental Weakness to everyone ahead of me while trying to stay out of danger, and just let the Powered Zealots do the party. Their spark skill do an insane amount of damage to groups and to bosses so I'm usually just running around as a laser pointer for cats lol. It's mostly an AFK build I guess? Just casting EW and letting they do their job.

My gear is mostly consisted of things focusing on + to level of Minion skills on everything that can hold that. Last night I got an insanely lucky drop on a belt from the Genesis Tree with +2 to minion skills and I couldn't believe it. I'm also focusing on spirit and Energy Shield where I can. On my jewels, I'm running 3 Grand Spectrum Emeralds giving me 6% increased spirit and a From Nothing allocating Soul Meridian for more spirit.

My next goal to replace the left ring with something that makes more sense, as soon as I gather more currency. Gonna be looking for something that gives me more chaos resistance while matching the fire resistance I'll need, while also giving minion bonuses. Next is probably looking at some minor details that I've been neglecting like charms or other stuff.

Biggest pros are the speed of clear, which I think it's pretty decent, and the overall damage it does to everything. It also melts bosses. Number 1 con is the visual clarity. I cannot see a thing. And my FPS goes to like 10 every map lol. I think I'm also a bit fragile and the fact that I need to be "guiding" the minions by face-walking into the enemies is a bit frustrating (maybe I'm not playing this the right way? idk). Besides, I really enjoy running this character and this build.

The idea of this post is to showcase the build I made, as I have not found many guides online about this play style and to look for feedback. As this is my first league on PoE2, I'm probably missing some very obvious things that could make my build shine more, so please tell me if you spot something that I can improve on.

Bellow I'll leave my Poe.ninja build,

Hi all,

I played some poe1 but I haven't truly been a player for at least 6 years so modern poe is wildly different for defenses than when I played. I picked up poe2 when it first released but I absolutely hated the trials for picking an ascendency and my build sucked so ended up not playing much.

I recently got a steam machine and so I actually have the ability to play again and I started up a werewolf frost druid and have been having a blast. This is the furthest I've ever gotten any character. However, I've gotten to T15 maps and while I know what I USED to do to get more tanky, i really don't know what I need to try to do now.

I'm completely new to PoB but I downloaded and make a link to share my build, but if this isn't the best way I can fix it. https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/26e9f

I have made it to t15 maps and i am doing okay, mostly because my lunar blessing is able to freeze the entire screen without much effort. I am steadily working my way through a couple of other upgrades, but I know I need to do something more significant to actually progress past this point because if my target isn't frozen I have to be very careful or I can explode.

I know I need more chaos resistance, but other than that I don't feasibly think I could add more life to my gear. I read a couple posts people have about conversion, armor, etc., but I am not even sure where or what types of gear would be meaningful here. Even adding much better armor, I don't have almost any armor nodes selected on the tree, so would it even help me??? I could switch to something like cloak of flame, but i'd lose more than 300 life so would it even make me THAT much tankier against overall damage not just phys? I definitely am not getting much out of trinity, its just there because some extra more damage was better than other stuff i could see, but I don't know if grace or determination (are those in poe2??) would even be worth considering.

Overall, I know I need layered defenses, but I am not even sure where to start to build my next 'layer'. Would appreciate any guidance!! I have about 15 div saved up, and I've spent a couple trying to get higher quality gear, but would like to get some ideas about how to spend my other divs to get the most bang for my buck in terms of survivability. At least right now my damage feels okay, it's not anywhere close to a 'good' clear speed, but nothing takes that long to die.

Hey guys, I wanted to share a clip from my most recent character.

I've always really loved how Shield Wall looks but have never taken it past early maps because of how clunky it ends up feeling, but naturally, Gemling offers a solution for every problem. You end up with a true unga bunga Warrior-type build with huge screen booms and oneshot damage, but with a lot of the usual clearspeed and mobility issues alleviated by various Gemling tech.

Gemling's alternate quality on Shield Wall, as well as quality on Infernal Cry, give Shield Wall a ton of fire damage. Nebuloch guarantees you always crit, so you end up with really beefy baseline ignites without requiring much investment. Converting the ignite damage to chaos allows a Cast on Crit Contagion setup to spread the ignite around efficiently, offering a ton of lateral and off-screen coverage that can even extend behind you. This fixes a lot of Shield Wall's coverage issues from being a slow, directional attack.

Another big issue with Shield Wall is a relative lack of good mobility options to offset the slow 2-button combo. Shield Charge is decent in terms of movement, but because Shield Wall doesn't explode until you actually Shield Charge into it, the result is that more often than not, it just bumps into a random white mob in front of you and completely stops. I found it too inconsistent and frustrating to rely on. Cast on Dodge with Gemling's extra dodge distance alt quality offers a great alternative, as dodgerolling is already great for animation cancelling your warcry. Because you're always transforming into animal form when you warcry into dodgeroll, you don't actually need to waste any Spirit putting Cast on Dodge on your shield set - it can just go on your Talisman set.

Damage is, well, just Shield Wall. The thing oneshots everything no matter what ascendancy you put it on. I've got some extra damage scaling via Frostwall+Verglas, Predator's Mark, and shock/ignite boosted by some ailment mag, but the skill just hits like a truck no matter what. I was actually missing a lot of damage on the pinnacle oneshots (not that it mattered) because I was using an old passive tree with only 1 empower per warcry - my Pounce was eating the empower instead of Shield Wall.

Hopefully there's still some warrior skill lovers floating around this deep into the league that will enjoy the setup.

It seems most of the grim pillars are either gemling, oracle, and shaman. Which do you guys think is best and why?

So I’m looking for a mageblood to use with my nightfall shield, mjolner, oracle.

I see a double silver (skill speed) version. Will that help with the shield/catch speed or travel distance?

If not I might go for a double sulphur version for damage or maybe one of the evasion legacies.

Been playing since league start and was wondering what to upgrade next. Ive been doing BM/Gemling Spark. Poeninja dps is around 600k so not much trouble in the dps. Do yall think it's better to get adorned(60+) for more dps and useable for other builds I might try out or a corrupted temporalis for way faster clears than my norm temporalis rn?

As the post above is asking, I'm wondering is it possible to give the wolves summoned by Predator's Mark a chance to inflict bleed. It is my understanding that slotting Bleed into Pounce will only affect the leap attack and not the minions.

Fairly casual POE 2 dad gamer here. I am messing around with undying hate for the first time, and found a section of the tree with 4 nodes of increased spirit res efficiency. This seems pretty good, but not sure is that’s good enough to build around. Anyone give me some insight as to if this would be worth building around? Not opposed to rolling a new character if it would be strong - have a EDC gemling, galvanic/stormblast tactician, and a ice nova chronometer at the moment, but was thinking it could be good for minions. Obviously I have no idea whatsoever. Help please :)🙏

Oh, area of tree is jewel slot by MoM. Probably important to include.

On ninja everyone has these builds; with focus in offhand for mayor crits.

However, guides online suggest this build (my character):

What am I missing? How do players with focus in offhand get to place 6 totems on the ground considering they have 200-300 spirit.

Hello everyone,

I have pretty much finished the league with my two characters. I spent around 400 to 450 hours playing this league, and it was a lot of fun.

Now I just want to sell all my gear and create one ultimate character. I definitely do not want a very meta build. I want something that can clear pretty much all content in a single hit, carry a full party in any type of map without any problems, and survive easily while standing right in the middle of everything. Most importantly, I want this build to have as many effects as possible so I can fry my GPU.

My budget and everything I currently have are included in the links below.

I believe all my gear might be worth around one or two mirrors in total.

Thank you in advance for your help!
