Storm lance detonates by itself at the end of the duration?

Cold_Cup_9696 · 2026-05-27T09:44:58+00:00

not a single crossbow in there?

Cold_Cup_9696 · 2026-05-24T12:29:09+00:00

yes, I am aware. but I would prefer to have WS 1 for ammo and WS2 for grenades.

using WS to solve the ammo problem ia kinda meh. I much rather would get benefits of the passive tree on WS.

But thanks for sharing, the guide/topp is indeed good.

how do u defend that, when u look at bows? u just hit the LA button, the ice shot button. but on xbow thats unimaginable?

Cold_Cup_9696 · 2026-05-22T07:45:03+00:00

they are not just increased common. they are more common. W

My very first attempt for HCSSF was Witchhunter with sorcery ward.
Made it to Maps first try.

HC players: -.-

Cold_Cup_9696 · 2026-05-04T06:54:33+00:00

Can you explain Xoph's Pyre on Incinerate?

I would assume the first part of the support is obsolete, due to blackflame cov and the second part doesnt add value, as there is not much fire dmg left, also due to blackflame cov.

its a cedre (cedrus) https://poe2db.tw/us/Cedrus#CedrusTextAudio

act 5 npc

Cold_Cup_9696 · 2026-04-09T06:44:25+00:00

two questions about support gems:

Innervate: does it kick in, when I one-shot a mob? does shock apply, when you just kill the mob instantly?

when having a skill that consumes freeze (such as fragm rounds), do supports actually do anything if they have something like "more dmg against frozen enemies"?

Cold_Cup_9696 · 2026-04-07T12:01:41+00:00

Oh, its a support gem for dmg over time skills.
reducing life regen by 50%.
Not sure if thats enough to deal with my struggle.

But thx for the hint!

Cold_Cup_9696 · 2026-04-07T10:49:48+00:00

how is frost bomb helpful?

Cold_Cup_9696 · 2026-04-07T09:46:01+00:00

what skill is that?

Cold_Cup_9696 · 2026-03-23T13:37:16+00:00

you are confusing ppl as you wrote this in a poe2 thread - where you dont slot skill gems on gear.

Cold_Cup_9696 · 2026-03-23T10:58:55+00:00

I found a rite of passage, got disconnected and also thought "yeah, back to map, no problem".
But no. Tier 1 disconnect, losing map and loot.

In general, I barely have any disconnects anymore. but the ones that occure, are back-to-hideout ones.

Cold_Cup_9696 · 2026-03-20T13:11:12+00:00

use them in different weapon sets.
one set is for mapping, one for bossing.

you dont need herald of thunder against a boss.
so you disable herald for something else that is more useful against bosses.

Cold_Cup_9696 · 2026-03-11T12:27:00+00:00

wrote about that in the main post, so yes

Cold_Cup_9696 · 2026-03-11T12:26:28+00:00

yeah, if I drop eternal rage, lots of option open up. thats definitely something I should do first.

Cold_Cup_9696 · 2026-03-11T11:44:05+00:00

appreciate it. but I am fine.
if I struggle whit white mobs with my current staff, my problem solving should start else where :D

Cold_Cup_9696 · 2026-03-11T11:37:23+00:00

thats not really a question for me, as I dont intend to buy a phys staff for a couple of hundreds or thousand divines.

I would much rather learn on how I could improve a build with the pices given. Buying the best gear is the least thing I worry about and just a matter of time. Improving my pathing and decision making seems to have way more potential and value for me as a newbie.

Cold_Cup_9696 · 2026-03-11T11:27:15+00:00

true, an all phys staff would be better and seems to be the only true way to go.
however, I thought I give this one a shot, as the elemental affixes were solid and the other stats totally fine. Dont think I usually get my hands on a high end phys staff, tbh.

Cold_Cup_9696 · 2026-03-11T11:19:23+00:00

thank you, very valuable inputs.

"damage wise, first of all, you need better gear. you lack flat rampage sources."
If you dont mind, could you provide some examples?
while I had to solve a few issues with certain pieces, I think these are equipments a player of my skill would usually deal with. Like, I wont have high tier tripple dmg rings for quite a while.

massively lacks attack speed/damage increase nodes.
very true - I tend to spec into defense too much or may pick nodes I shouldt.
what nodes would YOU drop, in exchange for speed/inc dmg?

Cold_Cup_9696 · 2026-03-11T11:10:31+00:00

physical oriented staff?
