Spirit reserve Bugged

[Chryesis]

I just reached the encampment in Act 3 Cruel. When I got to town my Spirit Reserve stopped working properly. Now I can not use any Auras because even though I have 60 Spirit and my Auras cost 30 each none of them gets reserved even though I activated them. I tried to take them out and I tried to use a different Slot. My whole Spirit mechanic just seems to bug out.

Additionaly my quiver seems to also stop working at the same time. I do not know what happened but I guess something destroyed this character now cause without auras I can not play like before.

Anyone else got a problem like this?

for your quiver and spirit skills, make sure you are meeting stat requirements of STR, DEX, INT

you may have changed a piece of gear out , not realizing that it broke your build. happens all the time. Easily fixed usually by tweaking your STR, DEX, INT nodes in passive trees.

You probably lost spirit you didn't realise you had on some gear when you swapped it.

[Chryesis]

Thought so too so I checked all my old gear but it I still have my original 60 and I need 60. Even if I only use 1 Aura for 30 Spirit it shows that it is active but my Spirit Reserve is still 60 even though it should be 30. So it seems my character is useless now because without any buffs I lack a good chunk of damage but the biggest probem is the WInd dancer buff which will not activate regardless of what I try. Would be kind if anyone had a similar issue and might be able to share a possible solution.

Sounds like stat issue.

Or you added support skill to that aura that use too much spirit so the aura skill wont activate at all.

EDIT: Or you forgot to activate the aura in skills panel.

I tried everything you mentioned. Was my first guess too that I somehow lost some stats or something. I do not have any gems with the buffs so that could not be it either. I did not change anything compared to my run yesterday. Started today everything was working fine but when I finished the first map in Act 3 Cruel and reached the town my spirit gauge was full and my two auras are now toglled on but my spirit does not change. Tried it on another character e.g. the witch and everything works as intended. Guess will wait now maybe after one patch or another this bug will sort itself out but still thanks for trying to help.

Hi, I'm having a similar issue with the "Spirit" stat in Path of Exile 2.

When I unequip all my gear, my character shows 30 Spirit. If I equip a scepter that adds 136 Spirit, the character screen still shows 30 Spirit. However, in the aura allocation window, I can see that I have 166 Spirit to distribute across auras. I can even activate auras, but in the skills screen, an aura that uses nearly 90 Spirit appears with an exclamation mark, without any clear explanation of why.

For additional context, the scepter has the following requirements: level 18, 15 Strength, and 34 Intelligence. My character is level 26, with 50 Intelligence and 22 Strength as shown in the character screen. So, I more than meet the requirements to use the scepter. Also, the scepter doesn't have any skill gems socketed, so it's not related to any gem effects.

The main issue is inconsistency. The character screen shows 30 Spirit, but the aura allocation window correctly shows 166 Spirit. It's as if the additional Spirit points are not being considered where the system checks if I have enough Spirit for skills, but they are counted correctly in the aura allocation.

For reference, I'm playing on PC with an Xbox controller, which might be relevant since some screens and UI behave differently when using a controller.

This seems like a bug where Spirit values are not updating consistently across different parts of the game.

Interesting update: I switched the scepter and shield to the weapon set 2, leaving weapon set 1 empty. After configuring the auras again, everything works fine with weapon set 2. It seems like something strange was happening with weapon set 1.

Thankfully, I don’t use both sets actively, so I can continue playing with set 2 for now. Hopefully, this bug gets resolved before I need to rely on switching between sets. For now, I'll stick to weapon set 2.

if you move them back to weapon set 1, is it still bugged?

[Nerque]

Yes, the bug persists when I switch back to the first weapon set.

Update on my specific case: I’ve found something that resolved the issue for me, though it might not apply to the original problem of this thread. Here’s what happened:

I always play with an Xbox controller, and that’s how I encountered the bug.

Out of curiosity, I launched the game in keyboard mode, and surprisingly, I was able to configure both weapon sets without any issues. There was no trace of the problem I described.

After switching back to gamepad mode and restarting the game, the bug was gone for me.


This seems to have fixed my particular issue, but it may not be a universal solution for everyone. It’s also worth noting that the controller mode doesn’t seem as polished as the keyboard mode, which might explain why this kind of inconsistency happens. Hopefully, these kinds of issues will be addressed as the game progresses through Early Access.

I’m experiencing a similar bug… I have the flicker monk build with reapers invocation and I’m trying to get enough spirit to run it along side grim feast and herald.. yes I have support gems that make it cost more but I can literally put on a amulet that gives me plus 60 spirit and I see no change at all in my total spirit or reserve. It like bugged at 1 set number now that is 6 spirit too low for me to do what I need to. Just wasted 10 exalts.

The issue is still happening, I have the same. The only thing that worked is swapping weapon and shield to set2. For me it had broken when I put a new ring with extra 1 skill slot and added an extra buff skill

[Tankor Smash]

My problem was that the UI showed me having 100 to spend when assigning minions but 0 in character stats screen. The issue was that I wasn't on the right weapon set. It was because I equipped both set's skills and it would swap to the other one.

Ok sorry for the late reply but i kinda paused POE 2 or now. What fixed this issue for me was going back to character selection and then change back to mouse and keyboard. After that everything worked just fine and then I could go back into the game and revert everything back to how it was supposed to be while using a mouse. After I was satisfied I went back to the character selection and changed it back to controller and now it works just fine.

Hope this might help anyone.
