I think I just give up The gays and their overlords have won

The graveyard is a pretty big miss. Remember, the state its in now is only after they giga juiced the whole thing to be like 10x more accessible than it was at launch, and even after that managing is still a fucking trainwreck. I've got more quad tabs than any sane person should full of corpses...

Finished up the T17 challenge today and I think I can pretty well pinpoint the biggest issue I have with those maps. There's fucking DD goddamn everywhere in them. I tried replacing the entire contents of the map with frogs/rats and it STILL spawns the black 4-legged abyssal skeleton brute guys...

I don't think it's favoritism but rather the opposite - legit I don't think anyone at GGG plays 'melee' setups like that at all seriously. Certainly Mark and Johnathan don't, to the point where they have outright derision for it in interviews and lament how old/bad the PoE1 engine is and how no...

Yea I think when they did the initial melee rework the idea was to give melee 'better' leech wheels, which was actually true at the time. The real issue in todays PoE is that phys-specific leech is useless, because there's so few builds that actually deal phys damage. Like there legitimately...

Yea not having access to an instant leech mastery is really a problem. I'm pretty close to the dual leech wheel near point blank, but I'm so starved for points that finding another ~5 to get in there just for that isn't worth it. Phys overwhelm can definitely eat a dick though. Imagine the...

Yea I just bought one as well. Just debating what to do with it at this point. Maybe the alt holy relic stuff? For as beefy are strength stacking is it just sucks for trying to clear T17s. You have no instant recovery so less recovery is a brick, enemies block is a brick, max res is a brick...

The entire league surely, it didn't just happen randomly during an unrelated hotfix. Ultimately doesn't matter outside like 5 giga delvers that probably have been using it since week 1 on private profiles. They'll just delete or revert all the items once they figure out how to fix it.

Yea if your build is beefy enough abyss is also a great option, but you'll hit soul eaters sometimes that will shitstomp anyone that doesn't have north of 10m DPS.

Magebloods +10 divines already this morning, but I'm dubious how far prices could really rebound. We're an entire month in to the big t17 strats printing multiple t0 drops per map - the stock of that shit that exists is just so fucking large that a dwindling league player base is never gonna be...

The super short version is you full spec shrines + beyond and spend the leftover points on whatever, stongboxes are fine, or green eldritch for more packs/mobs, etc. You use two breach scarabs to add breaches, the shrine scarab that is 30% more XP per shrine buff, and then either a +2 shrine or...

Buy a headhunter and do the shrine + breach XP strat, it's way faster than 5-ways and you really can't die between all the shrine/headhunter buffs.

Lel jewelry converted to divine orbs, always run strongboxes boys:

Actual final setup for strength stacking I think. Replica frostbreath is like ~15% more damage but feels like shit to place because the attack speed is ass. Brightbeak lets me max crit and fully automate despair + wither attacks since I can actually exert without multistrike in my links, plus...

I'd stay pretty far away from Lorcana too. The Disney fandom part of it is suuuuuuuuuper fucking weird - their events are filled with literal children and a bunch of weird 30 year old soyjacks that are probably pedos. Magic is still fun, the issue is there's not really a format for kids to...

Player power compared to how tough mobs are in early expansions is so skewed these days that pulling is not even really a skill. Literally anyone with a bow or any spell can do the job at 95% effectiveness, as the amount of mobs it'll take to wipe a group actually takes effort to go and collect...

Yea more or less, I crossed 2400str and the individual hits are so large now that I have enough damage that it doesn't matter too much if I get 2 hits or 3. I might try dropping multistrike from this and using a brightbeak again for larger individual hits to see if that is the last little boost...

But seriously, 10/10 There were no wasted characters - all the side plots and characters are stories were worth the screen time and had real depth. Yabushige was fucking excellent at all times. Even if Blackthorn has the mannerisms of the cockroach wearing Edgar from Men in Black, he was...

Thanks to this show I am now depressed because I will never have a wife as perfect as Fuji

Finally finished leveling up to 98 so I can get my 2nd large cluster setup in place. Gained an absolute mountain of damage finally with 2x split personality in the mix, hit nearly 2400 str. Could still gain another ~30% damage with a proper elevator warlord hat, but those are looking to cost...

Yea I mean if having +300% AE from an elder club isn't reliably giving you 4 hits then its just flash worse than a replica frostbreath, so that really makes it an easy decision, especially considering how awful the crafting process would be.

Interesting if the AE scaling doesn't actually enable any further overlaps. Actually crafting an elder mace with the mod + relevant crit/attack speed is a huge pain in the dick, so if it can just be skipped that takes a lot of pressure off the gear.

The state of 2024 magic

Grasping mails made in the graveyard can only ever have 1 of the special breach affixes, which is why anything you're seeing with 2+ mods costs mirrors - they had to get those from spamming the 60 ring turn-in and then fracturing/crafting them as best they can.

Yea I may sound like a hater, but mostly it's just sad. The game had so much potential, but they seemed entirely unable to fully capitalize on it for whatever reason. Maybe it's as simple as it being a Russian studio paying Russian wages to Russian dev talent and just lacking the technical...

Yea I mean the last ~year of rampant, unchecked cheating should have been enough of an indicator to anyone that the game was doomed. Then they blew all their dev time/resources making a counterstrike clone using the same garbage client-trusting game engine and netcode? Certainly one of the...

Yea there's just no way to make suppress or spellblock happen on str stack setups sadly, which is why you see everyone go for unbreakble over unyielding lest you just explode to spell damage. That of course also means you wanna hit ~50k armor or so which is even more points and means finding...

This is my current scuffed still-leveling str stacking setup The way the fissures auto-seek enemies after your initial target location leads to some truly hilarious levels of screen clear as 2-3 of them are just flowing around the screen targeting anything that's still alive. You probably don't...

Sort of, yea. It doesn't seem like anything changes the travel time of the fissures, so it takes just a second from the first impact for it to split to a new location > back to the boss is all. I'm playing it on a replica alberons setup currently cause they are the cheapest they've ever been...

I think the main knock against lancing steel is gonna be, does it actually do anything better enough than splitting steel? I haven't bothered to check PoB, but I suspect it's damage ceiling is far, far lower. And while it doesn't have to hump bosses to really shine like splitting does, on either...

Yea that's the main issue. You can get to maybe ~3m without too much issue, but going any further than that really requires a nimis or some truly absurd levels of investment in to INT stack. It sure feels good to clear with though, and trickster defenses with ~10k ES is so fat.

Lightning min damage roll is 1, any reasonable amount of flat cold on your weapon + flat cold from wild strike will make trinity work just fine. Also don't play that build it fucking sucks unless you can afford nimis.

Headhunters 10 divine Squire under 1 Magebloods under 100 This is the league for you normies to fuck about with all the t0 uniques you've never had

Titty bitches from t17 maps look about as good as any spectre ever has Unless you want specifically just buffs/utility? Do the giant turtles from the trials guys still give determination?

First game was absolutely GOAT'd Yea I know people rag on the combat, but I think it worked. You were a shitty peasant trying to learn to fight, and by the end of the game with some leveled up skills most of the combat was a breeze. I better fucking get to get plastered with Godwin again

It's less a chaos sink and more of a 'we don't want people to be able to annul these down to being freerolls' kind of thing. Or just run them white/magic etc. The mobs base health and stuff in the maps isn't that much crazier than regular t16 mobs. So locking in some amount of difficulty by...

Since the crafting is so stupid this league I figured may as well play some gigantic stupid bow setup. This particular bow cost me 6 divines. What a nonsense league. This tree sucks, doesn't even have a thread of hope, my lethal pride is ass, and I never bothered to try and fit a yoke in cause...
