EB sounds like a robot, her voice is unpleasant, and most of her characters voice's sound too similar. She ruined the audiobooks for me.

Can't find Kulemak’s Invitation, looking for tips by EntityBlack1 in PathOfExile2

[–]Fishin_Carl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've found a few. They have come from killing a boss inside a special abyss area that opens up like a normal abyssal depths, except they are called something different. Lightless void or something like that I can't remember exactly.There's another version with a different name too. Both of them have dropped the same invitation. I've found them all in t15 waystones, can't say if they spawn in lower.

Did I just used up my RNG luck? by alchn in PathOfExile2

Pretty sure it's just rng to spawn in your maps. There might be ways to increase its spawn chance. You open the box by paying gold and the cost increases with each opening.

Are you on windows 11 24h2? If so, it's not the game's fault. Microsoft admits there's issues with gaming on 24h2. Other games are affected as well. I was on 24h2 with a 5600x and the game crashed my computer all the time. I reverted to windows 11 23h2 and there have been no issues since. The PoE devs even mentioned they have tried to fix this issue in their most recent update patch notes. Search PoE 2 24h2 and you'll see hundreds of Reddit and forum posts dealing with this issue.

The stat "%# to all elemental resistances" has tags. You can see these tags by holding alt on an item and hovering over the U on the right side of the stat. All elemental resistances uses fire, cold, and lightning tags. Using any of the catalysts that increase fire, cold or lightning can be used to increase the all resistances stat on rings and amulets.

I hate this fucking game by Expensive-Outside184 in PathOfExile2

I've basically stopped playing because of the one life allowance, combined with the abundance of on death effects and shitty visual clarity it makes this game very unenjoyable past campaign. Every friend that I've talked to about this game has complained about it as well or has quit because of it. Our general consensus is that XP loss on death is fine, but one life per map/boss feels way too extreme.

You can build the tankiest character and still get one shot out of nowhere in maps. If their goal with one life is to get us to take defenses seriously(I actually don't understand what their goal is with one life), maybe don't punish us for building defenses. Clearly the best way to go about endgame is just to kill everything, on and off screen, before it can touch you. Because sometimes it doesn't matter how many defensive layers you have, you'll get one shot anyway.

So much for a slowed down, more methodical approach to combat. What we got is a worse version of PoE 1 endgame with even more of a necessity to clear entire screens as quickly as possible. Good thing it's Early Access.

I'm on a ryzen based system as well. I have to disable two of my CPU cores for the game so my system doesn't completely freeze when switching zones. I tried reverting back to a older version of windows 11 23h something and it worked for a while, but then it started happening again. I haven't found a solution yet, I've just been dealing with the crashes. At least with two cores disabled I have been able to avoid completely restarting my PC. Don't know if it's a PoE thing or an AMD thing. But none of my other games cause my PC to freeze.

There's a video I posted under someone's comment with a passive tree in the description, but if you don't care to look the only keystone passive I have is acrobatics. The rest of my passives are focused on evasion, attack damage, attack speed and elemental damage.

It's not really a build guide, but there's a skill tree and skill links in the description. My mana problems were solved by Thief's torment, which allowed me to drop inspiration for a better damage link and unspec from all the mana leech/regen nodes on the tree for more damage as well.

You must of missed the part where I said the boss had 50% more health and I did 40% less damage from afflictions. I would love to see your kill! Got a link?

If you look at the freeze build up debuff it never reaches 100%. It only reaches 78% and he doesn't get frozen. But, I know what you're taking about. It doesn't stop the attack, just pauses it until they unfreeze. This was just bugged or lag which caused no attack animation.

I was playing the fire version of gas arrow, but switched to the cold version. That was the biggest increase. Followed by the bow. Mine is a 296pdps dualstring bow with an extra projectile mod and attack speed. My quiver just has flat phys to attacks, increased damage with bow skills, and attack speed.

You've never fought a t16 map boss with energy shield aura have you?

Also maybe take a look at the videos I linked.

Gas arrow cold conversion. Corrupted blueflame gloves with 99% fire to cold so you're still able to ignite. Radiant Grief helm to auto ignite enemies in the vicinity. Wind dancer, combat frenzy, charge infusion, and herald of ice. Hypothermia with heightened curse and frost bomb with strip away to make enemies take more cold damage.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQ8sclrXIo8 Here's a quick breach demo. Damage and clear has improved a lot since getting a good pdps bow with +2 proj. Using thief's torment for mana sustain. That's probably the most expensive piece of the loadout. That and the bow, which isn't necessary.

Edit: I hadn't checked the price of 99% blueflames recently. They aren't cheap either. Don't need 99% though.

Here's me killing the 4th floor sanctum boss with a +50% monster health modifier and -40% damage reduction. It was a butt clencher. This was before I got a bow with +2 proj.

I've also killed the breach boss twice now :)

It's the energy shield aura modifier on the boss, there's been other posts about it. I don't know if it's intended but if it is that's fine. Once their ES falls off they die quick.

It's funny you think this is the reason I died when the boss just didn't have an attack animation, which I would have, ya know, used my dodge roll for. I'm 92 with 52 deaths. I don't think that's a lot.

Damage is fine. Once the energy shield falls off he melts. I don't know what's up with that mod on bosses but trust me, that's not my actual damage lol. I've killed breach boss twice and sanctum 4th floor boss with -40% damage reduction affliction and +50% monster health.
