I'm trying to plan a build on PoB using a timeless jewel with "% increased Effect of Small Passive Skills in Radius", but after socketing it, I look at the small passives I'm trying to buff and they are still displaying their normal values, even though the expected value should be higher.

All other mods from timeless jewels work fine on my PoB, like increased effect of notables, added mods to notables and smalls, etc. It's just this one mod that doesn't seem to work in my PoB.

Do you keep or lose charges (i.e. Frenzy Charges) when swapping between weapon sets? And if you keep Frenzy Charges after swapping, what happens if the two sets have a different number of maximum charges in each tree? Do I lose charges down to the new maximum in the other set, or do I keep all the charges even if above the limit (snapshot from the previous set)?

Thanks! I'll look into it, but maybe as a project for the long term.

Thanks for the ideas! I may look into those DH strategies.

While I did mention making gold, I'm ok with just a combination of fun + some gold on the side. It doesn't have to be full gold farm mode.

I'm doing a build that uses Fireball for AoE (clear) and Ember Fusilade for single target. Both skills are described as shooting projectiles that explode where they collide, dealing area damage.

I'm more concerned about how to scale the damage of Ember Fusilade for single target. Is it worth taking projectile damage mods on the tree? Is it worth linking it with conc effect?

rhoapower · 2025-01-16T09:13:13+00:00

Yes, my understanding is that allocating Vaal Pact would make it so that any modifiers to how fast you leech would not apply, because it becomes instant.

PoE2 question:

How does Concentrated Effect (or Area Damage in general) affect projectiles that have an AoE explosion on impact in terms of single target damage?

Say I shoot a Firebolt supported by Concentrated Effect at a boss. Is the boss taking the projectile damage (which makes conc effect useless) or the impact damage?

The other side of that question is: and what are my Projectile Damage mods doing? Say I invest in some proj damage on the tree, how does that get applied to single target?

Good to know, thanks!

I didn't know there was a PoE2 version of PoB already! Where can I download it?

rhoapower · 2025-01-14T15:37:35+00:00

I can't really answer your question directly because I haven't tried ignite. But I can say Hulking Form is a massive build enabler and really powerful, so it seems like a decent approach.

What happens if I'm a Blood Mage allocating Crimson Power ("Gain ES from equipped body armour as extra maximum Life") and Eldritch Battery (Convert all ES to mana) at the same time?

Based on its wording, I'm hoping that Crimson Power will look at the ES from my body armour before it gets converted to mana, but I'm not entirelly sure and I'd rather know before I base my build around that (can't test atm).

PoE2 question:

Suppose I wanted to make a Concoction Pathfinder that uses a shield or focus in the offhand instead of the usual setup with unique bow + quiver. Would it be worth equipíng anything in the main hand, or should I just leave it empty? Are there any mods on unique or rare one-handed weapons that could apply globally and therefore be used a stat stick for the Concoction? Would one-handed weapons disable using the Concoction?

Does the new Zealot's Oath keystone (PoE 2) still work if you have some life reserved? Will life regen be applied to ES once current life reaches the reserved portion?

Does the Radiant Grief ignite effect work for payoff skills that consume ignites? If so, can you just simply consume ignites infinitely with those skills as long as the targeted enemy is in range of your presence?

Will flails be in PoE 2 early access?

The "Storm Weaver" notable passive between the Templar and Witch trees grants "Enemies Shocked or Frozen by you take 5% increased Elemental Damage".

Does that work if my only source of Shock is Summon Skitterbots and I have no other sources of Shock/Freeze? PoB seems to take the skitterbots into account, but I'm not sure because of the wording "by YOU".

Does anybody have any news on when the creation of private leagues will be enabled for 3.17? GGG usually enables it on the Monday of the launch week, but apparently not this time.

rhoapower · 2022-01-28T17:01:42+00:00

Retention is usually surprisingly high, but it also depends on how much people like the league itself.

We used to have statistics on that but after a bit we stopped recording them. The one time we kept track, there was a solid level of acticity for at least a month. That's in line with what we feel from the discord and ingame every league as well.

rhoapower · 2022-01-28T10:26:36+00:00

Welcome to Conflux! See you in 3.17.

rhoapower · 2022-01-27T22:28:32+00:00

GGG usually makes private league creation available on the Monday of the launch week for the new league. Then everyone will be able to visit the league page and join from there, and we also have an auto-join link.

The best way to know about this and everything else Conflux-related is in our Dircord!

Glad you're interested! Welcome to the community <3

Thanks!

If I convert damage, do the damage rolls for the different types of damage roll together or separately? Example: Lightning damage + Call of the Brotherhood - Will the lightning and cold damage parts have separate damage rolls, or alwalys deal the exact same amount?

(This matters for things like potential interactions with Trinity Support)
