How do I do the trials after the first one? I did my first trial and completed it, but it took my trial rune away. Where do I find more trial starter rune?

Random drops

You'll get them leveling, but they won't give you more ascension points until you're at the end of cruel act 3 (level 60+).

Random rare drops off of enemies. Some do not offer Ascendancy points but instead I feel are another way to get a chance at some nice loot from the treasure coffers after completing the trial.

 

[Anthony Soprano]

They drop from mobs.

Anywhere in particular?

Not that I've noticed. I find them anywhere.

They banned Elon =(

Leaving a unique shield on the stash. Have fun culling enemies by blocking.

 

[DavidGzz]

Can confirm, you can leave the game paused for 1.5 hours plus without it logging you out. I feel like I get kicked in 15 min in D4.

is everyone else's class this much fun?



this is first time with cast on freeze, i used to manually use orb of storms. And i didnt use avatar... it builds up crazy quick

 

[TintoConCasera]

Finally reached the endgame! Took me 80 hours as a warrior. Excited to see what it offers and what's the goal.

It is very amusing to me when I go up to a boss, stuff its ass full of grenades, then drop a gigantic hammer on its head.

I love Unleashed Scattershot Fireball while summoning all the Raging spirits. Mob clear is very nice. Especially when overleveled and redoing low level dungeons. Still working on making Incinerate a facemelter regardless of an enemies resistance. Long way to go on that front. I lean heavily on Demon Form Bonestorm to make short work of bosses. Fireball just makes me smile.

Did you use a build guide? My buddy plays monk and is having trouble using with Cold Monkey Leveling guide; https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/don-cold-monk

 

[Magic-DEI-Hire]

Just grabbed this game and loving it on the PS5 Pro. Quick question though - did anyone *not* get their 300 coins for early access? Restarted and don’t see them either.

EDIT: They just showed up, perfect.

 

[Aces High]

Today is the day.

After having played for only 1 hour during the week due to work, I can finally level my character again. Time to finish Act 1.

Mr Musk is worth half a trillion and plays all the time. I'm worth shit and work all the time.

I'm doing something wrong.

Got it after 2 days or so. Takes some time.

[Rentahamster]

I just added this to the stash

Thunderstep Steeltoe Boots

(10–15)% increased Movement Speed (40–60)% increased Evasion Rating +(3–5)% to Maximum Lightning Resistance +(25–35)% to Lightning Resistance

I think I died more often to a fucking optional gorilla boss than any other bosses in the game

 

[Arsic]

Still can’t get ascension 3. GGG needs to admit this is overturned.

Or offer the coin back if you fail cuz the drop rate is piss.

I’m already on tier 1-2 maps in end game…

I tried it. The test of will, the 2nd one, kicked my ass. The honor system is way too hard to manage as a melee class imo.

That boss' one shot slam is pretty crazy, but he does telegraph it very hard, and you have to dodge roll perpendicular to his line slam.

I got test 1&2 first try. I’ve tried both chaos and non chaos for my third, and no dice. Made it to the bosses a few runs each but the one shot mechanics are giga fucked.

A lot of the frustration is the honor system itself but for me it’s that dodge roll is pathetic. Where are the I frames?

 

[Pegasus Actual]

Dusted off my laptop, updated the drivers... installed PoE2... aaand it was like 20fps with absolutely nothing going on.. after some tweaking and researching I realized it was using the integrated GPU (kind of hard to tell from the in game dropdown as it just says something about AMD and both integrated and discrete in my case are AMD).

Now the frame graphs look at a lot better, and I'm now CPU limited getting around 80fps running around Hunting Grounds. So hopefully it will hold up decently enough once there's some real action on the screen. I was worried I'd have to main Destiny 2 for the month I'm away from my gaming rig.

I finally got him using the ruins as protection

Awesome

God I just created the ultimate level 25 2h mace. I tried to put a picture up here but it wont take it.

I'm destroying everything

What if you use Hammer of the Gods? And more totems? Plus the honor protection relics.

 

[Pakoe]

I've offloaded some stuff in the guild stash, thanks for the invite

 

[draliko]

They should let pc player use hybrid controls, I really love playing with pad but would like to manage inventory with mouse, hope they'll implement it before release... Anyway I'm at the end of act2 with the ranger... It does feel squishy but deal good damage, not so sure I want to level it to endgame though... Maybe I'll get back to my witch and rebuild a minion army or move to a warrior... Too bad i really suck at theory crafting and always have some gimped char

 

[clarky]

Found some spare points on my old account, donated to the guild.

 

[geary]

Bruh, wtf are these campaign maps....they are huge...I'm in Act 3 and backtracking is killing me...

 

[DavidGzz]

Going to the in-laws for the weekend boys. Taking the Deck but the wife may kill me if I ignore everyone lol.

 

[omegasc]

Bought a Quad stash tab on PS to store things I find to later transfer to the PC-only one, but learned I just get access to the tab I had before. Wtf. "They should put it in the box!"
edit: got 2 uniques so far, both the same "apparently bad" bow. One is in the guild stash now.
edit2: this one: https://poe2db.tw/us/Widowhail

 

[Herbspiceguy]

I think I made a mistake by using a Djinn Barya, that clearly said it would give me ascendancy, on Act 2 Sekhama's (went back from Act 2 cruel), but didn't give me ascendancy points after finishing.
On top of that, I opened several gold and silver chests, but my stash was full so I just TP'd, but couldn't TP back to retrieve the loot.

Wish they'd make ascending (restrictions) a little more clear.

I have another Djinn Barya with lvl 52 and 2 trials. I think I won't screw up if I use this one on Act 2 cruel Sekhama's?

Also, I still don't understand how my TP's (in town) sometimes disappear, is there a hidden timer? (I alt tab, look some things up, check NeoGAF, I return to game, TP is gone)

From what I gathered on official forums, to get ascendancy points, you need a lvl 60 djinn with 3 trials (should drop around the end of act 3). Lesser ones won't grant them.

About your TP:

What Stash Tabs should I be picking up on this sale? I’m for sure going to get the currency tab, but what other ones should I get as well?

 

[drotahorror]

Did you use a build guide? My buddy plays monk and is having trouble using with Cold Monkey Leveling guide; https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/don-cold-monk

No guide no. Ice strike is just amazing. I feel like it's time to maybe optimize it better though, so maybe I should find someone with a similar build that knows better than me.

 

[DavidGzz]

The amount of skills that you can have at your disposal is so nice. On controller at least, being able to rotate 2-3 different combination of skills is so cool for variety. Shield Charge, infernal cry, and Resonating Shield for one group. Shield wall, leap slam, and then Bone Shatter for another.

 

[Spyxos]

What stats i should be looking for a fire sorc?

 

[TintoConCasera]

What if you use Hammer of the Gods? And more totems? Plus the honor protection relics.

Hammer of the gods have too much cooldown, even with a passive gem that reduces it, to rely on it that much.

I'll try with the totems, thanks for the idea.

 

[panda-zebra]

That boss is a DPS check, and I guess you can only do 2 things: respec your passives so you focus on damage, and get better gear.

That boss is a DPS check. Do you have +skills on your weapon? Do you have "more damage" modifiers on your main DPS spells? Are you using fire penetration and fire exposure? I assume that boss has high fire resistance.

Try to back away from the boss so he gets away from the lava, do as much dps as possible meanwhile. He gets back to the lava, back away and make him come to you, do dps again. When he stand in the lava and sending wave of fire, attack with what range attack you have, also equip fire resist. This was the way i did with my monk.

Thanks for the tips everyone. I realised that boss was side content so left it for now. Found the real next boss (Viper) and struggled there, but thanks to a couple of goodies from the guild stash I got myself a Comet and respecced a little into icy stuff, and that made a huge difference. Will go back to the lava guy next and probably should be trivial.

If you hold alt over the underlined words "ascendancy skill points", it tells you what the requirements are.

I regret buying the unique stash tab because I just stick em in the guild library now.

I find the quad tab really useful as a dump tab so I can unload all my shit there while playing and then sort it all out later. Currency tabs, skill gem tabs, and other tabs with affinities are convenient because no matter which tab I'm looking at I can ctrl+click a gem or currency and it'll automatically go to that tab.

If you're okay with looking at what other people are doing, this guy's fire/freeze build is pretty cool.

 

[Rentahamster]

I'm glad it helped! I just noticed that people have been using our level 13 skill gems so I added a bunch more in, as well as level 14s.

 

[Rentahamster]

I only use it once in a while, and it hits really hard. I have Heft (30% more phys damage), Fist of War (ancestral boost), and Aftershock (20% chance to aftershock). I buff it with Seismic Cry, and you can probably use Infernal Cry to buff it too along with the support gem Premeditation.

When I drop that thing on a boss' head, it takes off 1/4 to 1/3 of their health, depending on if I stunned/armor broke them or not.

If it's the second ascension trial, (1 floor only) that should be fairly simple. I can also party with you and kill the boss.

 

[Rentahamster]

clarky Sorry I misclicked and I rejected your donation. Can you send it again please? Thanks

 

[TintoConCasera]

Endgame bros, what's your current DPS? I'm doing 5.600, don't know if it's enough or if I should focus more or armor nor for my passives.

Mmh, didn't thought about ancestral boosting that thing. Mine has Ingenuity for less cool down, Heft and Rage Forged, for an extra 35% damage if I have enough rage (which I build with my basic attack).

Might try replacing one of those with the Fist of War, bet that provides a vert nice boost.

Edit: you say the second ascension is 1 floor only? It's my second ascension on the trial of act 2, but my thrid ascension actually, since I did both trial of sekamas and chaos temple on normal difficulty already. When I went there I beat the trial of strength but after that had the option to do the trial of will.
