Shockburst rounds - Fresh Clip vs Endless Munitions

* T4 Xesht - Shockburst rounds + Endless Munitions * [https://youtu.be/Aq4R4EkCrpY?t=13](https://youtu.be/Aq4R4EkCrpY?t=13) * T4 Xesht - Shockburst rounds without Endless Munitions * [https://youtu.be/fg8iHiNCI4Y?t=23](https://youtu.be/fg8iHiNCI4Y?t=23) After switching to Glavanic + Shockburst Deadeye, I was testing the interaction between Fresh Clip vs Endless Munitions. For some reason, Endless Munitions would cut ur ats in half for Shockburst rounds (not sure why), for me it jumps from 2s to 4s to empty the whole mag. So kinda anti-synergy between Endless Munitions (+1 proj) and Fresh Clip (%more dmg for each bolts loaded in past 6s) After some testing against Xesht, If u can burst down boss in first two mags, Endless Munitions is still a better option But when the fight takes longer, probably dropping Endless Munitions since you can't really reload two mags with it during the 6s period, which means losing dmg from Fresh Clip If anyone knows why Endless Munitions would cut the shockburst ats in half lmk, really appreciate it Ref: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7pDDZ6WMW0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7pDDZ6WMW0) (By [Michael M](https://www.youtube.com/@mikedawglol))

Help with single-target damage for bosses - Pathfinder incinerate

Hello. I'm not very experienced with making builds, usually just follow a good one. This one I have I basically took from Mathil and tested a few different alternatives. Anyways, I'm experimenting with using Gathering storm with a quarterstaff on weapon set 2 to create shocked ground for the damage increase on single target. I also have Storm fire so that shocked doesn't fall off while ignited (in theory? It still seems to happen sometimes). Does anyone know if this actually works for damage increase with ignite/hits with fire? Can you find this out in POB? Is there any better alternatives for garantueed shock on a target? Heres my POB: [https://maxroll.gg/poe2/pob/n5cwg0sg](https://maxroll.gg/poe2/pob/n5cwg0sg)

All of us are hardcore and most of us are solo self found IRL

In real life some of us are P2W HC trade but compared to PoE 2, the percentage of HC SSF is way higher(probably because SSF is optional in the game whereas it is random in real life). Pretty impressive if you think about it.

Ow my Baals!

Had 2 pair of pre crafted suffix left over from crafting 55% MS boots, decided to finish these the other day and after hitting this roll I didn’t have the baals to Vaal them until last night. They started off with T1 chaos res, slammed with horror essence, then a dextral exalt landed T1 cold. Exalt, then Sinestral Erasure until the ES rolled on, doc slammed a few times to get the chaos to max roll with the %ES and fractured. Because the suffix was finished, hitting the ES roll was actually great, since I could then proceed to Sinestral Greater Annul (double annul) the prefix until I got the Movespeed. Once that hit, I was lucky and it only took a few Sinestral Whittles to land the T1 +ES. A few div slams later and perfect roll. Think the rest of the story tells itself.

What are the current go-to builds for Stormweaver, Deadeye and Infernalist?

I jumping back in after a hiatus and I had left before 0.2 dropped ... in order to get back and rolling: which builds should I look into for these 2 classes? I assume minions is still good for Infernalist - but which ones? Archmage has been gutted, I think - is Spark still a thing for Stormweaver? And is Gas Arrow still working for Deadeye? I'm not looking for the best of the best builds, just solid joices that work also with SSF gear ...

Shouldn’t Sorcery Ward be protecting from AoE as well?

This seems like a weird design choice. Walking through ignited ground burns down my health with full sorc ward on. Just feels bad

what is the difference between Path of Exile 1 and Path of Exile 2

Damage conversion works in different way. In poe 1 you can have pure physical damage 2h axe, scale it with increase physical damage passive nodes, more physical damage support gems, and than convert all that damage into fire and scale it from increase fire/elemental damage passives. In poe 2 it will only scale from fire/elemental damage passives, and conversion will work only for base physical damage.
