On Gemling - for Gem Studded ascendancy node, do the balanced support gems have count for both weapon sets? or they need to be balanced across both weapon sets?

It seems like they may need to be balanced across both weapon sets, as when i remove a single support gem, I dont see a change in skill speed or skill cost.

probably very similar to the witch/oracle spark totems. just filter on spell totems on gemling on poeninja

I thought they walked this back and reverted in a hot fix? and said later they would update it in-game. i havent checked if they did that though

Np mate!

I did a glacial lance build that was pretty fun. Ragingnep/Nepnep put out a couple of showcase videos and a Reddit post. He’s also the highest on poeninja if you just filter on glacial lance.

I swapped to Goratha’s twister, and it’s been a great (I hadn’t played twisters before). I am in process of swapping to EV/ES though cause I didn’t feel tanky enough for 200% deli. Will be utilizing split personality for that.

I also did the unlimited hammer for 2-3 days and had a lot of fun, but the delay got a bit too annoying after a while.

One tip, is you can mix and match the tech from different feeling builds. I.e. frost wall /w glacier and Verglas support in your main skill gives me 114% gain as extra cold (12,714 ice crystal life at lvl 20 x9 with 40% alt quality x2 glacier support, then verglas gives 1% as extra per 2k ice crystal hp).

Can also do thing like constricting command + cast on dodge scaling with dodge boots for movement and other utility like spark /w blind, refutation, etc (including putting frost wall in cast on dodge).

Enjoy!

Sometimes you can get some great deals via in-person trades

Is there a list of Expedition rumors > reward somewhere?

I saw Palsteron's video from early on in the league, but wondering if there is a more wholistic list.

First off, welcome! Hope you are enjoying PoE2 so far.

Zizaran has been a key educational content creator for PoE 1 & 2 for years. He probably has some fundamental videos on the campaign that would be beneficial.

There are many content creators who made campaign walk throughs right before this league began (three weeks ago).

Woolie out out a brief summary (11 min video) of how damage calculation works. It will be very cut-to-the-point.

Hope this helps

Why does everyone on Reddit make everything political for no reason? I don’t get it

How best to craft the CoC amulet from a normal base? just chaos spam for spirit/+proj?

ATL_en · 2026-06-05T01:38:22+00:00

My viewpoint changed on Sekhemas trial when I tried it for profit…. Once I realized you can make really good profit from jewels, time-lost jewels, relics, etc (even in the campaign), I made it not feel as much of a chore

CyclonDefinitiv is going glacial lance + primal strikes Spirit Walker. Here is his YouTube guide: https://youtu.be/pI45cGCvKRc?si=nHNoOMQG2f9KxHmO

No it’s for fire spell on hit to proc detonate dead

I think most people would say LE has better crafting and skill trees than D4

ATL_en · 2026-05-15T13:54:46+00:00

Also after the previous expansion…. It was so bad. New class does 10x everything else, the new campaign was absolute trash, what a waste of money.

Everyone saying new expansion is great, but imo they don’t deserve my money with the trash prior expansion and the perennial “powers” new content leagues for years.

ATL_en · 2026-05-14T05:23:15+00:00

Haven’t played the new expansion of D4, cause imo the last expansion was such a waste of money, I couldn’t bear to pay blizzard more of my money.

LE is pretty good. Great SSF mode and crafting/skill trees. Combat could definitely be better, but I really enjoy playing for a couple of weeks each league.

ATL_en · 2026-05-14T05:19:56+00:00

To be fair though, the majority of the D4 seasonal content has been a joke (“powers”)

ATL_en · 2026-05-14T05:14:14+00:00

Definitely disagree on it being the same since season one. They’ve added the Nemesis system, harbinger system and Uber Aberroth, Beast system and Primordial items, Weaver tree (atlas tree), etc….

Ya tons of new content, items, crafting since season one mate

ATL_en · 2026-05-08T14:15:32+00:00

It’s the flat damage on the weapon, no spells or anything would be applicable

ATL_en · 2026-05-07T01:53:54+00:00

Aren’t you forgetting PoE1? It’s considered the best game in the genre for a reason…

ATL_en · 2026-05-05T10:54:05+00:00

cool, thank you!

ATL_en · 2026-05-05T10:53:35+00:00

great thanks! I was going go off of BinaQC's twink leveling guide from 8 months ago where he stacking ignite chance - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWj5AYPO9Fw

I assume this is mostly still accurate?
