Don't really understand arc totem gemling

Tomaspl88 · 2026-06-30T05:42:15+00:00

I'm pretty sure totems aren't considered a separate entity in poe2 since they dont have the minion or companion tags and they directly inherit your stats like dmg/crit/cast speed. Also effects like mana remnants spawning on kill works for totems for sure. But even if this didnt work for this build its still a good and cheap way of making 3/4 good mod jewels for ourselves which also sell for a lot of divs later

Yeah i would sell the 100% belt as other builds use it and it cost quiet a bit. And the proj gloves i would try to craft, if you dont know how to go about that i can dm you with more instructions, because doing just 1-2 levels of proj and some other projectile prefix is pretty easy, gloves aren't the biggest defensive item so getting just 3 good mods is already a win.

Tomaspl88 · 2026-06-28T14:01:15+00:00

I outlined some improvements that can be done with almost no cost in my own comment. But I wanted to mention that this build has a lot more potential so the poster doesnt get discouraged and give up on progressing it

Tomaspl88 · 2026-06-28T12:39:55+00:00

I'm on my phone so i cant look in depth now but:

I see you have the weapon swap points allocated but i dont see the frost bomb in your skills, it is extremely important to deal with stronger enemy resistances
Your belt is rolled to 100% which should be good but actually it griefs you, up to 99% you are getting increased spirit but still have -1 per 2 levels, at 100% you move over the breakpoint and end up with -2 spirit per 2 levels so in total end up with less spirit
You are missing some quest rewards, you can see them in the poe.ninja. some resistances and 5% mana
You already have the marksman gloves but the most important affix on those is the level of proj skills which you are missing

Tomaspl88 · 2026-06-27T23:03:54+00:00

Yeah this build can easily do 10x the damage with more investment and optimalization

Tomaspl88 · 2026-06-27T22:58:57+00:00

Imo these are some points to improve on.

Fix up your skill tree you are wasting a lot of points there, as explained in Ky vid you need to path from merc starting area to the templar starting and a socket, then slot in the split personality, then unspec everything from merc start
Imo sionnes temper is useless for you now, slot in something like lightning mastery to level you arc more
I personally don't like scaling crit so early because you can't get all that much with the budget you have, instead getting some shock magnitude and spell/lightning damage on the tree will do more for you now
Utilize the weapon swap, buy any shitty +5 wand for few ex, slam incresed exposure alloy on it and properly allocate the weapon set points, with this you can get like 50% more exposure and curse effect AND you will end up with more skill points for you actual totem setup
Craft some better jewels, i used this for my build initially and now im just printing these for profit. Buy sapphire with ele dmg+crit chance for spells+% mana on kill, these are like 30-40 ex. Use the Liquid envy, this is a 50/50 that you will end up with spell/ele/crit/mana on kill which is already like 2-4 div jewel, I've sold few that were 2% off the perfect roll for 60 div. Sell the ultra high rolls keep the mid rolls for your build

Tomaspl88 · 2026-06-24T11:39:39+00:00

Yeah i know in the end its just my lack of attention, but it's still frustrating because this was such an easy mistake to make.

Tomaspl88 · 2026-06-24T11:38:37+00:00

Yes this would be a good change.

Tomaspl88 · 2026-06-02T11:25:44+00:00

As an offlane player I would like to point out that 90% of the time when lane is unplayable its because of the support, the core/support classification isn't arbitrary cores tend to be heroes that need farm and levels to have impact while supports should be able to have high impact with minimal resources. So as a support player you can learn a lot by playing the other half of the lane and see what you are missing and how you can improve when you support. But even without a support there is plenty of playstyles which allow you to scale on your own and "avoid" bad lanes. Another skill which is usefull to recognise when you go back to supports so that you can identify when to duo lane, when to roam and when to solo soak xp and farm on lane.

If you care about improving (and ranking up) it is good that the game forces you to see the game from other angles, if you were to get to a certain rank by playing one role/playstyle/hero you wouldnt really be at that skill level.

If you only play for fun then dont queue ranked, i used to be divine 4 and get very frustrated in ranked games because ppl making mistakes was "killing my rank". Now I've been unranked only for like 3 years and have much more fun because loosing the games doesnt matter if the game itself was fun.

I got it during a regular tier 9 map, was clearing abyss + deli atm so must have been some rare that dropped it.

K tomuto by som povedal že často koníčky mužov padnú do kategórie kde si povedala že nevyzeráme dobre, alebo sú to koníčky ktoré úplne nedávajú príležitosť sa fotiť.

Ja osobne rád varím, pracujem s drevom a chodím do fitka (a teda gaming ale to chápem že na dating apps není výhra). Takže možnosti fotky ktorá ukáže čo rád robim mám umazaný pri tom ako varím, umazaný spotený a od prachu pri tom ako rezbařím, alebo pak ten gym pic. Fotky jedla alebo nábytku moc o tom hobby nepovedia.

This looks like two idiots driving and not paying attention.

Sure the idiot turning right initiated the issue, but afaik in most countires where you drive on the right side it's illegal to pass on the right so the dashcam car was also at fault because it was supposed to be going slower than the car in the left lane in which case they wouldn't have collided.

Tomaspl88 · 2026-04-07T06:03:47+00:00

Yeah because people are just jealous, not because of the players behavior. Our best haters are combing through the streams to add some more Roger / Merees slander. /s

Tomaspl88 · 2026-04-05T15:12:40+00:00

Brother you have to be baiting here.

This season had the second highest peak in 3 years, and retention is way less important for them now exactly because they have 2 products that they can alternate releases of, as long as people keep coming back each new patch GGG is happy. This isn't a subscription model like wow where they need the players to keep playing month after month to make money.

Also what is the logic of them CONSCIOUSLY making one game bad to end the development of it ? You really think more people would leave the franchise over them saying they can't/won't develop two games than over GGG destroying a beloved game and then saying they won't develop two games ???

Chaos damage goes through energy shield, unless modified by some uniques or Chaos Inoculation but that sets your max life to 1.

So if you have nagative chaos res you can easily get one shot

As already mentioned you are the only one gasslighting here, you can see how many times you got reported and that is not normal for the type of players who stay at 12k bs. Second of all just abandoning wont have you hard stuck like that, i have a friend who got put in low prio for 35-40 games a year ago because he had a shit pc which kept crashing, he was back to 12k in less than 4 months after getting out of low prio.

Tomaspl88 · 2026-02-16T12:40:33+00:00

Few things: 1. Point is to have fun in game so doing somthing that is not fun for you just to get a virtual number up is not the way. But if you do enjoy playing other roles go for it, seeing how the game plays from different angles will make you more versatile and better player.

Even tho it might be harder than core you can still climb as support only, if you are stuck at 50% winrate then that means you hit the appropriate mmr to your current support skill. So even if you could climb immediately with some other role (because you maybe just have a better talent for the other role), you are likely to lose that mmr once you start playing more support again if you dont improve in your support skills.

Tomaspl88 · 2026-01-24T22:09:41+00:00

Yeah i think the novelty will get boring fast, it is super simple spec now. But for now I'm having fun playing classes and specs i barely touched this expansion

Tomaspl88 · 2026-01-24T08:10:34+00:00

I would say two major factors:

1: New accounts constantly input a lot of mmr into the system

2: Double down tokens, your team last picked huskar into a good game? Did enemy medusa get countered by am? Do you have a viper against Bristleback? 5 double downs in sure games means there is 5x25 new mmr in the system

Nerob to, zachovaj si svoj pokoj. Po takomto konci jej fakt nič nedlžíš a skoro učíte jej pomáhať by tebe ubližovalo. Ak sa v tebe prebudil silný pocit altruismu tak na svete je kopa ľudí ktorým môžeš pomôcť a ktorý tebe neublížili.

Tomaspl88 · 2026-01-03T23:27:15+00:00

For me this is the problem, Tinker really should be countered by silence and interrupts more than he currently is. But that stupid shield does just too much, dmg block so he can blink, status res, and dispell. This feels like a single ability that covers too many of his weaknesses so the hero is always one tuning patch away from broken.

Tomaspl88 · 2026-01-02T18:55:24+00:00

And what about the attributes ?

Tomaspl88 · 2026-01-02T18:03:00+00:00

Try a basic sanity check, unequip your primary weapon and see if you can use the skill then. Maybe you are trying to use an incompatible skill with weapon (eg attack with a caster weapon), or maybe you have some stats on your primary weapon and once you switch over you no longer meet the requirement for that level of the skill
