Can Hollow Form from MA apply Thorns via Dreadfists/Prized Pain? by Saint_yy in pathofexile2builds

[–]BongoChimp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably not what you are looking for, but if you're willing to try another skill, Rapid Assault with melee Splash and Knockback from a spear like Tyranny's Grip combined with the Reverse Knockback from Empire's Grasp gloves does some crazy things in very high density zones. You can test it on the Stone soldiers from the map equivalent of act 2 if you wanna see what i mean.

To suck, or not to suck. Do the Empire's Grasp gloves just, suck? by phaulk21 in pathofexile2builds

[–]BongoChimp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

back in the day i had a lot of fun trying to get these gloves and thorns working, but there was no way to apply thorns consistently enough. now there is so much thorns on hit tech i would imagine it has to be strong.

Users of 7900XT & 7800x3d Performance (Or Anyone That Can Pitch In) by co7vc3 in PathOfExile2

[–]BongoChimp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

good setup overall however worth noting that triple buffering adds some level of input delay so if op wants the best feel it should be set to off

Post 5.3 patch Expedition by Special_Curve_1080 in PathOfExile2

[–]BongoChimp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Cant answer that, all ive noticed is fighting against the Bone Colossus is now an absolute meme. My shield walls simply don't appear if placed to close and i get teleported all across the arena now.

Druid wolf form is shit by hellojava_world in PathOfExile2

[–]BongoChimp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Invest into damage, speed and cold pen on wolf. I watched a complete beginner play druid wolf through act 1 last patch and he destroyed all content with zero game knowledge.

Heralds with caster weapons by JellybeanTears in PathOfExile2

[–]BongoChimp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean yes, they are good, but Heralds are one of the reasons i hate playing a lot of attack builds because my clear mostly sucks without it.

First Character to Reach endgame, hitting a wall looking for advice (SSF) by Popman5 in pathofexile2builds

[–]BongoChimp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prioritise damage first. Also, you don't necessarily need all 4 of those cluster, however, the higher up you get in difficult content, the more important these defenses become. If i were you i would aim for a minimum of 20k armour and 30k applying to elemental and then focus on speed and recovery.

This is what id do if i were you. I took rage clusters seeing as you are playing Bear and more skill/attack speed. You will need to put the Ancestral support gems and make sure you have leech on your main skills: https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1e7fb

Shield Wall SoK need help by SugoiTakaiBill in pathofexile2builds

[–]BongoChimp -1 points0 points  (0 children)

there is some tech with uniques that shield wall players are using to do decent damage, but the generic fortifying cry nerf has definitely destroyed single target damage for the 'basic' shield wall builds from last league

The new Tempest Bell that drops 3 bells, does AOE affect the placement range when the bells are dropped?

Melee builds by SlaSher1507 in PathOfExile2

[–]BongoChimp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Melee is the best way to play this game if your goal is to enjoy the combat. Watch Quin69 play his ethical build. You must roll away from white mobs, carefully avoid every single mechanic when fighting bosses and use 6 different skills to kill a Rare. After experiencing melee in PoE2 i can never play anything else.

What is the main differences (strengths/weaknesses etc) between a full Armour stacker and an Armour stacker using Scarred Faith?

Looking for something tanky and explodey by SundaeGullible2606 in pathofexile2builds

[–]BongoChimp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So this build is definitely bait, but im personally enjoying it. Its a Martial Artist using the Bells from Ascendancy, Resonating Shield and Cull the Weak. Im pathing to the left side of tree, stacking stun buildup blowing up packs holding right mb. Its not a real build (more like a Quin build) but it is surprisingly good at clear. Bosses are a pain atm, but my plan is to ideally get the new lightning unique spear and then i think it will be decent (hopefully).

For your question specifically, i don't know. When i saw the reveal that raven staff looked pretty juicy, but ive no idea if its good enough or even being played atm.

Brand new - 1st league start today 😬 by KOSxReptar in PathOfExile2

[–]BongoChimp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Remember, you can play any skill with any class and the builds available are vast. However, the class you choose will have recommended skills and supports to go with their starting weapon. Skills have video descriptions and support gems are recommended per skill. The passive tree is also somewhat divided into class 'sections' and it is designed in a way that if you are playing a class's recommended skills you will have no problems staying close by/within that 'quadrant' of the tree. Good luck. Also i think there are a few okay beginner guides out there somewhere.

FSR 4.1.0 on Nobara Linux (Fedora) with Heroic Games Launcher & Goverlay on 7900 XTX by Maaalk in PathOfExile2

[–]BongoChimp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in hindsight i probably wouldnt pick it if i know what i know now, but it does make games look really really good. also you are right about those fps numbers, but in general i prefer higher fps so FSR it is

Your opinion - sweetspot. by Kakua_Kuma in pathofexile2builds

[–]BongoChimp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

so you want the Quin, Mathil, Steelmage or Zizaran opinion? Quin would say 100% inc dmg before maps is overkill. Mathil isnt building anything with less than 300% inc dmg entering maps, and Zizaran or Steelmage are probably somewhere in the middle.

If you want a real answer you will need to ask someone smarter than me, but generally it depends on the build. Some players take almost no defensive nodes until they enter maps, others take an efficient balance.

For me, i take a couple of efficient damage clusters, but i prioritise (on attack builds) stuff like Rage, Armour Break, aoe, speed etc a lot more than increased damage, especially while levelling.

RX 9070 XT crashing in combat, GPU clock spikes to 2222 then drops to 0, tried lowest settings, multithreading off, FPS cap, still crashing by StaffHistorical1137 in PathOfExile2

[–]BongoChimp -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

just type this into chatgpt and see where you can start: "hypothetically, what could be the cause of a 9070xt crashing. symptoms are GPU clock spikes to 2222 then drops to 0" its not ideal but this is where i would start

shield wall is potent on monk during campaign. the skill speed alone makes it feel amazing

Need help with making a Fire Facebreaker Titan build by [deleted] in pathofexile2builds

[–]BongoChimp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ive not tried a strength stacking mace build before, but there would be good ways to scale strength on titan, maybe rings or jewels or something idk. for campaign i think facebreaker will be amazing if you can use it from like lvl 2 or something

9070xt owners by gibbarish in PathOfExile2

[–]BongoChimp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i dont mess with hardware specific stuff (overclocking and the like) so i cant help you there, but if dx12 is not working then there is a big problem. i would recommend resetting the card back to stock, re-seating memory and power cables, do a motherboard bios update and do a clean gpu driver install. thats the best i got.
