BROKEN GEM?? NEW Damage Support and xbow Build variants- Path of Exile 2 Early Access

[@patrickg399]

its not a bug it raises the maximum base physical damage( the higher physical number on your weapon) before the conversion. similar to ryslathas coil from poe1

[@SealingWG]

did you watch the video? he literally said exactly this 🧍🏽

[@kamisori13]

So no-brainer link without downside on every build that uses phys-based weapon? yeah sure

[@SuperCatacata]

@@kamisori13 You do realize there are many supports with 0 downsides. right? The limiting factor on this is needing a phys based weapon.

[@kamisori13]

​@@SuperCatacata All damage multiplier supports contain downside or condition. No exceptions. All conditions are somehow related to tags or weapon types. 'Heft' doesn't have a tag, while other physical supports have one - this is a developer error. And that's why it works for all damage.

[@BoiCleancut]

​@@kamisori13there is a support gem that increases elemental damage without downside. This could be for physical damage. Besides, most elemental skills says that it converts a percentage of physical damage into that certain element damage and thats why this gem stacks with elemental skills.

[@blech71]

“More” is pure multiplicative and increased is additive. That’s pretty damn wild but it is their design so doubt it’s a bug… maybe an oversight not limiting it to certain main gems that need it to compete. I see that one as a staple for everything it can work with though. And when I refer to “more” as being multiplicative, that comes from prior rules in POE1 so not sure if they changed it. It also makes sense that it’s not global ofc and just that damage type of the skill.

[@mack33467]

Hey guys! Wanted to note that the build is great and is a ton of fun but one thing you should take note of is that attribute cost of gems is entirely determined by level. That means that for gems that only have marginal increases in value but insane jumps in attribute cost (like conductivity which only increases 1% lightning shred every 6 levels while jumping up 5-6 int points each) it's often not worth it to level your spirit gems. Please note this: A LOT OF THE TIME IT IS NOT WORTH IT TO LEVEL YOUR SPIRIT GEMS. You will find yourself hunting for stats on your gear that just rocket the exalt price up when you're also looking to cap resistances. The minimum levels for cast on shock and conductivity are all you need. A moderate level on Herald of Thunder that matches your gear is all you need. This will keep your attribute reqs low and allow you to dump all your attribute nodes into strength so you can hunt good gear with good resistances instead of dumping exalts into expensive jewelry that only gives you 2% power increases. Happy witch hunting!

[@lucassalesa.3472]

Hey, this comment is really helpful! Can i get your stats right now? Like, how much int/dex you have? Just for me to have a base and stay at this base of attribute.

[@pakman9794]

I think the reason that gem works before conversion is because it applies like a weapon mod. Weapons have two layers of buffs, one that affects the base damage, and one that affects the overall skill used with it. I believe this is marked (on weapons at least) by the 'with attacks' phrasing. Also because it only increases max damage, it's only a 15% overall increase from 30% to max, but it help land HP based ailments like shock.

[@LMS764]

whats the overlay u using? the overwolf one? is it good? :)

[@warsong3764]

hey again m8, i tested out a new gems for boss fights, plasma blast - conduit / mobility / bulls eye / scatters shot , as you know when charging it takes 4 sec and we move too slow but dmg is reletivly high and shocks even conduits directly cuz high ammount of electric damage direct hit +skill has %30 more shock stat and i dont know why but when using scatters shot shots misses most of the time, but now thx to mobility (with boots at least around %25 move speed) we move fast when charging and mostly mobs attacks range cant reach u when u back paddle, same for the bosses if u circle around them (mostly) and thx to bulls eye shots dosent miss + conduit gem gives %100 more shock chance so we can electrocution again and do our dmg without suffering with galvanic shots, btw every lvl on plasma blast dmg ramp up big time

[@Stuss.-.y.-.]

btw there is an option in the game's interface exclusive for widescreen monitors that center the UI for HP and MANA called "Centered UI" that should make it easier on you to check your stats. (I couldn't see if it was actually good cause I dont have a widescreen)

[@dennisnie7909]

How do you get the gems you listed on "Cast on Shock" i cant get them to fit the skill

[@darkmatter8]

With how it reads makes sense to me. Sounds like it increases how much Physical Damage is being converted.

[@neshugg9486]

Yeah but he said that is poe(1) method. In poe2 he said it should be calculated AFTER conversions. So that support gem shouldn't be increasing the damage.

[@phatinh7200]

Hi, any tip for leveling ? Clearing is good but i apply shock to boss very slow, i do have some lightning dmg on weapon

[@minhocho5487]

Do you think it is increasing the weapon damage?

[@wesleyy846]

Im still so confused on conversion. So lets say I have a skill that says "converts 80% of PHYSICAL to LIGHTNING." So should I not just stack a crap ton of physical damage boosts on my armor and weapons and skill tree? Or should I instead stack a crap ton of lightning damage? Please someone simplify it to me or let me know how im supposed to take conversions in effect, I feel like such a noob

[@ricwaltman3761]

i’m new to the game and also confused about this

[@lewismcbride8465]

It's because the skill might be a "Physical spell" so what that means is Phys% Increase gems apply the increase to the base damage before conversion. An easy way of understanding this is if you understand why people get +Phys% on Weapons before converting to Elemental attacks... It works the same as the weapon.

[@thestaringenclave]

how do we annoint amulet?

[@norapatpatrawetsakul2452]

Guys if its hard to find pure armor gear, just go full hybrid and take resolute technique

[@avalokiteshvara113]

what does armour have to do with a node that is "hits cant be evaded, but you deal no crits"

[@Jinforrver]

@@avalokiteshvara113 They almost certainly meant Iron Reflexes.

[@24R1co]

bro do we need accuracy raiting if we have resolute technique?

[@Bigdaddytehpwnerereerr]

Nope

[@ivanbssouza]

As a Gemling it makes it easier to have double support gems on skills! Thank you for the info!

[@Ersb99]

wiht a legionare Its possible to achieve any version of the build?

[@Kiyobboy]

In still going through cruel, but im doing this build as a gemling merc and crushing. Dont even have electrocute yet either. If you have a good xbow with lots of phys damage you’ll melt stuff. And with adaptive ascendancy you can stack strength for more life than witch hunter. Witch hunter ascendancy are more damage focused though, so maybe thinking about specing more damage nodes or nodes that give %damage per x strength

[@sfsd8094]

Thank you for your build. Why are you didn’t use suff “+to level all projectile skills”? Isn’t good damage boost? And the second question. What should I choose for my crossbow. 1. 1-10 lightning dmg, +5 to level all projectile skills. 2. 10-100 to lightning dmg with no projectile levels. Thanks for the answer

[@Bigdaddytehpwnerereerr]

Base dmg more important

[@Niaxe111]

Don't you phys damage first and then coverts to whatever ailment

[@momengouda5795]

is it ok to use plasma shot instead of high velocity ?

[@Bigdaddytehpwnerereerr]

Yeap, if you like that more then use it

[@Tsubaki189]

Question, why everyone is using that specific type of xbow in bolt builds? Does it give something particular that i'm not aware of?

[@misovlk4937]

I have it too and I believe in act 1-3 it has the biggest dmg of base crossbows, so the enhanced version would also have the highest dmg in the game from crossbows

[@Nemesis.Project1]

MKes sense. Most of our bolts convert phys to lightning anyways.

[@leatherDarkhorse]

I playing explosive bolt, also not bad

[@CaptainBanananana]

@@leatherDarkhorse wat builkd u using?

[@Perempt_]

it seems to do what it says idk what's bugged

[@Bigdaddytehpwnerereerr]

Well ggg said that only the final damage type can be scaled now. This gem is still increasing damage of a converted skill.

[@Perempt_]

@@Bigdaddytehpwnerereerr oh i see what ur saying, so atm it increases the phys first then gets converted but it's not supposed to

[@kamisori13]

Thank you for the video! I think it's definitely "not intended" and will be fixed. May I ask for some gameplay/boss fights footage sometimes?

[@light4155]

What about chaos spec via "original sin" ring?

[@Real.eKolin]

Poe2 has way more chaos damage mobs, I think having 0 chaos res is suicide

[@JimjimG]

If it's a bug , the only possible reason would be that conversion is applied at the very last end. Phys increase would work, then the conversion apply after heft application.

[@hrodwulf172]

How much did Jungroan pay you to make this video?

[@Bigdaddytehpwnerereerr]

Is he using that too? I'm not really watching streamers tbh, most are kinda boring... Well except cute dog

welp nerf incoming

[@biduMandias]

around 2 minutos into this video and why the fuck wouldn't it work? I mean, the support gem gives your 30% more damage, right? And 100% of the character's physical dmg is converted into lighting while using Galvanic Shards. So I don't get what's the big deal or bug about it.
