PoE2DB: Path of Exile 2 Reddit Latest Discussion

With the new Guiding Plam Unique Scepter, how do we scale damage of shrine buffs and what builds it enables?

Essentially question from the title. I can think of 2 interesting use cases, but I'm wondering if I can scale the damage or effect from the buff itself. Is that spell damage? What happens if I use the cold one and have freeze buildup nodes, will that play any factor? Curious to see your build ideas as well as understanding of the above.

My First Mythic

https://preview.redd.it/3hxmti82x85f1.png?width=453&format=png&auto=webp&s=c95a62e177807afbbb192a84d5a9e7b42b9eb3cc About 4 hours after the 0.2.1 patch dropped, so did this ring! I hadnt played PoE1 before playing PoE2 (that has since changed with the Legacy of Phrecia event), but after almost 1300 hours played one of the rarest rings in the game finally dropped. As of the time of writing this, trade lists only 66 of these being sold with the minimum price being 278 divines. I have no doubt that price will go down though now that rings and amulets have been added to the general loot pool. While I could use the divs, its a pretty powerful ring and as my first mythic in a PoE game ever, I think I'll keep it.

New Patch Thoughts

Played a quick hour after I got home from work and immediately felt the positive changes in mapping. Got 3 unique in the first map i ran, 2 of them i had not seen before and both useful. Also noticed better loot quality, more higher tier items and less of the useless stuff. Immediately noticed changes in league mechanics too, no more annoying chaos orb bombing in ritual and immediately better expedition explosive charge choices. What are your thoughts?

Choir of the Storm nerf

So, it appears CotS got nerfed hardcore. It lost support gem access to spell echo and considerate casting, among others. It also got changed to a trigger spell and it doesn't trigger Cast on Crit or Cast on Shock.. Blood Mage Spark CoC damage is so bad now. My damage got nerfed by about 60%, if not more. The trigger nerf is really a kick to the balls.

How does the co-op feature work in Path of Exile 2

Co-op Modes

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.
