    Chaos is a type of damage (physical, cold, fire, lightning and chaos are all the types of damage), poison is an ailment (bleeding, chill, ignite, shock, poison are ailments for each type of damage)

      In POE2 chaos damage no longer bypasses energy shield, but does double damage to it.

    A thing that isn't to obvious to many players is that if you do more damage you will use less mana per mob. Like if you need to spam 3-5 attacks to kill an enemy instead of using an combo that kills them in 2 then those extra attacks will cost you mana. Right after he finds out how to use Power Charges he has 2 full mana flasks at all times, whereas in the beginning he used them all up.

    So, jewel sockets in PoE 1. You have "basic" jewels which are items that can roll up to four modifiers on them, which are socketed into the skill tree. Assuming the socket is allocated, you then get the bonuses rolled on the jewel. These modifiers are from their own pool and include the usual suspects like life, mana, damage, defenses, etc. You also have unique jewels which can do all sorts of weird things, including modifying *other passives near them*. I have one in my current build "Unnatural Instinct" which causes allocated small passives nearby to grant nothing, but grants me the bonuses of all non-allocated small passives nearby. Another replaces all Intelligence bonuses nearby with Dexterity instead.
    But that large socket? That's for cluster jewels. These are mini skill trees that socket into your skill tree. Each one is a single "wheel" of skills, with a mix of small passives, notables, and (on large and medium clusters) additional cluster sockets. So yes, you can daisy-chain them, although each size can only socket smaller clusters (Large → Medium → Small, and smalls don't get sockets). These cluster jewels can also be rerolled to change what bonuses the passive nodes provide. It's absolutely brain-melting and I've never used them because I'm too mid a player. :D
    **Edit**: I believe "Marks" are a separate type of skill. PoE 1 has "Sniper's Mark" which increases damage and causes projectile splitting on targets. I would assume that the indicator on cullable enemies is not classified as an effect in and of itself; it's just showing you the enemy is low-life without you having to mouse over and check their life bar.
    **Edit 2**: You have to de-allocate a passive to if you don't want it to affect you any more. In PoE 1, this is done using either Orb of Regret or gold. In PoE 2 I *assume* it will be via a gold cost.
    **Edit III**: "Low Life" is when you have 50% or less life. There absolutely are builds that run on low life all the time, though I've never played one. Reserving life can be used to hit low life (*i.e.* reserve 50% or more of your life), but I don't know if you'll even be able to reserve life in PoE 2. The closest I've come is Petrified Blood in PoE 1 that prevents you from recovering life above 50% except via flasks in exchange for converting a proportion of incoming damage into damage-over-time.
    **Edit Four**: @**49:12** -- it *is* doing something. There's a very slight glow around the keystone passives. Searching for things in the passive tree is kinda hard because the glow effect is so easy to miss. It's ugly, but Path of Building uses a bright red circle around matching nodes, which is much easier to see. :)

  • @Powermongur
    @Powermongur Місяць тому +6

    22:31 The 30% is because the boss has the shock ailment on it. Shock is an ailment of lightning. You get shock from chance to shock or from a critical hit. 30% means it takes 30% increased damage. The higher damage you do the higher shock effect you get. You can also get increased shock effect or use overcharge (damage deal as if doing more damage). The base max shock effect is 50% and can also be increased. When using freeze (an ailment of cold) bosses will have a stagger meter. EDIT: I'm not sure if dealing more damage does higher shock anymore, some component might just have changed to do more shock effect instead.

    Marks are a little specific but I'll go ahead and break them down.
    1. Marks are a type of single target curse (enemy debuff) that last indefinitely. There are also "Hexes" which are AoE curses with a duration.
    2. Enemies can be "Hexproof" but there is no way to resist a Mark being applied
    3. Only a single Mark can be active at a time. Marking a new target will remove the Mark from the previous target.
    4. Marks count toward your curse limit, the maximum number of curses you may apply to a given target)
    5. Marks scale with both Curse Effect and Mark Effect (In POE1 of course) which can make them quite potent

  • @666gene
    @666gene Місяць тому +3

    1. The target is shocked which increases the damage the boss takes by the %. this is in PoE 1 though. The % is based on how much damage was done with the shocking hit. in PoE 1 max shock base is 50%.
    2. Base crit does 100% crit multi. so double damage. 25% multi means you get 25% to crit multi bringing the crit up to 125%. also be aware "increased" damage is not a multiplier. in poe 1. "more" damage is a multiplier.
    3. Marks are like a curse in D2. Mark is a subset of curse along with hexes.

    At the end of one of the ZiggyD interviews with Jonathan Rodgers there was some Monk gameplay footage where Falling Thunder had around 8-10 lines coming off it and it cleared a screen. It was probably the most “juiced” up Falling Thunder clips I saw which must have had full Power Charges and one or two extra support gems. Not sure if you’ve seen it.

    22:20 Yeah this is confusing. They should put buffs on the right and debuffs on the left of the HP bar but colors should stay always the same.
    Here I would assume that a red snowflake means the boss has weak cold resistance (or maybe very strong), who knows? ;)
    32:08 Chaos is a damage type like Fire or Cold. Bleed is physical DoT, Burning is Fire DoT, Poison is Chaos DoT, etc.
    Marks: You can mark the enemy (counts as a curse) and debuff the enemy this way to take more damage, or to have a culling strike, etc.
    Jewels: yes. Small jevel in the middle are spots where you can put one jevel, outside the map large jevels are where you can put cluster jevels creating a separate mini-tree.

  • @Powermongur
    @Powermongur Місяць тому +1

    32:08 Poison is chaos damage over time. You can get poison from a chaos or physical hit with chance to poison or from a skill that has directly poison damage. Increased Chaos Damage will also increase your poison damage. Poison damage is chaos damage, but chaos damage isn't poison. Sometimes you can have skills with chaos damage over time that isn't poison. If it doesnt say poison or you didn't convert chaos to poison then it isn't poison. EDIT: Poison is an ailment, but chaos damage over time isn't. Critical Strikes that deal physical or chaos damage do not inherently inflict poison.

    • @_ByteBlaze_
      @_ByteBlaze_ Місяць тому

      To be technical, Poison is an AILMENT that deals chaos damage over time. Not all chaos damage over time is poison.

  • @jasonlucia6682
    @jasonlucia6682 Місяць тому

    Poison is an ailment inflicted by chaos damage similar to fire damage causing ignite. Potency of the ailment is determined by the strength of the up front damage. Some builds will be more concerned with the upfront damage than the ailment, hence both being on the tree. Don't get too excited by the increased damage nodes. "increased" means additive while "more" is multiplicative. So the more increased damage you have the less effective it becomes. 40% increased will likely be closer to 5-10% increased effective damage.

    Marks are nothing to do with those circles put on enemies by effects like killing palm ect. those monsters are "Highlighted"
    Marks are in POE 1 and act similarly to curses but only effect one enemy at a time curses can effect multiple.
    There are two marks listed on the POE2DB for POE2 that is Sniper's Mark and Freezing Mark
    Freezing Mark makes it so an enemy marked is easier to freeze if the marked target dies the release an explosion
    Sniper's Mark makes it so when that marked enemy takes a Crit they take more damage then if they didnt have it and also grants a frenzy charge and removes the mark
    Also there's a Metagem that allows you to socket Marks and curses into it called Hand of Chayula (Chayula is a boss from POE 1 so its cool to see its name here) This skill seems like the other palm skills in that you dash up to and enemy and punch them in the face the special effect is that any curse or mark socketed with it will apply to that monster

    34:27 Lets say you have a 10% crit base staff and you take 40% Increased Critical Strike Chance and 25% Critical Strike Multipier. Then you will have 10x1.4 = 14% chance to crit and 100+25 = 125% extra damage when you deal a critical hit (Base crit multi is 100%) or if you calculate total damage = 225%, so 2.25x damage when dealing a crit. A hit with a base multiplier would have been 100% extra damage, so 200% total or 2x damage

    I think I am going to use the other skill for cull, that teleports you to the target a lot faster than killing palm and you strike with your quarterstaff still getting a power charge. It seems way more viable. At least to me. That way you can insta teleport to an enemy, cull, frozen locust to reposition backwards and then do the thunder strike thing with the power charge or whatever else depending on the situation.
