PoE2DB: Path of Exile 2 Reddit Latest Discussion

feeling too squishy on t8 maps

im running an elemental monk and im currently trying to stack as much evasion as possible, since i just got the acrobatics node. however, my hp are extremely low since i have basically no strength investment and my energy shield is kind of whatever. should i drop the acrobatics and just try to stack more ES? without acrobatics i would sit at around 75% evasion chance. would protect me from harm be a better option so i wouldn't have to fully invest into evasion?

Need some guidance on end game crafting

I'm trying to get another flat damage on my prefix without ruining the lightning flat damage since it's almost perfect roll and missing the Fracturing Orb hurts :'). From what my understanding is that I can try whittling the rarity of items found, but that is really risky since there are quite a lot of T1 mods that has higher ilvl on prefix than lightning flat damage. https://preview.redd.it/yn6z6nx16gbf1.png?width=667&format=png&auto=webp&s=9714834cc527bb97a099a8e6e3c923c836f26d94 I felt like I should've just tank the lost and just sell it as it is right now instead of trying to salvage it after spending about 50 div on this :')

Turn Your World to Ice #2 – CoF Ice Mage Infernalist

Previously, I used **Sire of Shards** \+ **Snakepit** \+ Frostbolts with Cast on Freeze for mapping, with weapon set allocations focused on projectile speed and meta energy gain. It worked well for screen coverage, but I recently tested a rare staff with heavy spell damage scaling, and the results were better than expected. Spellcasters are definitely far from meta builds, but the way cold skills freeze and shatter mobs is something I still can’t get enough of, lol **New Weapon Setup** Found a rare staff with: * \+7 to cold spell skills * 300%+ total spell + cold damage * 38% increased cast speed *Cost me 1 Divine*. Dropped Sire, tweaked a few passives, and straight up got more DPS and better freeze consistency. Clean, responsive, and way less clunky to play. **Build Adjustments** * 50% chance to fire 2 additional projectiles: * 2x 25% projectile runes Did not use Scattershot on self-cast Frostbolt. I prefer keeping cast speed high, especially paired with Blink. But Scattershot is socketed with the CoF (Frostbolt). **Single Target Test – T4 Xesht & Map Bosses** **Weapon Set 1** – Bossing / Pinnacle Setup (Passive tree focused on Crit Chance + Crit Damage) * Frost Wall (100% crit) to proc CoC with Comet * Clean burst for single target * Swapped Snakepit → Seed of Cataclysm * Used Chiming Staff + Sigil of Power Didn’t need to change anything for map bosses. NINJA: [https://poe2.ninja/profile/Springbank-0143/character/Diclofenacs](https://poe2.ninja/profile/Springbank-0143/character/Diclofenacs) **Additional Notes – Sire of Shards Comparison** Today, I also tested with Sire of Shards to compare mapping. The rare staff has a faster and clearer mapping experience, and also tends to proc CoF more often due to higher cold damage overall. This becomes especially noticeable when map mods include “50–100% elemental resistance” and “50–100% more monster life.” The rare staff build did not require Leopold's Applause, but the Sire of Shards build was better off with it to compensate for the lack of damage. However, the Sire of Shards build was still viable and enjoyable!

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.
