    Also there was a Reddit post about how it's impossible to get currency this league. So yeah, Reddit is a complete waste of time now. I was there when it was just "look at this item I found!!!" and I thought it was annoying THEN, but now it's insufferable. It's just complaint after complaint...

    It's two-pronged right now. Most of the Build Brains are SSFHC, so they tend to congregate to tanky builds that are easy to build with just rares. So everyone is looking to Nugi and Ziz and Steel and they're all using the same stuff. Mathil, Cutedog, and newcomers like Jungroan are starting...

    Ritual was just Harvest 2.0, that's all. They did some Ascendancy changes, but all the real QoL came in Ultimatum with all the content reworks in terms of previous leagues. Here's a great idea for people talking about "build diversity". There's a guy on Youtube who reviews the top builds of...

    Yeah those mostly, manabond Mjolnir especially has very interesting applications as it's a free skill that benefits greatly from being OOM. A lot of people were turned off by CoC costing mana (which it may not EVERY time, but I'll let a bug tester figure that shit out) and it's still incredibly...

    RogChamp continues. Got a 575 eDPS Jewelled Foil with T1 Crit, T1 Attack Speed, and T2 Flat accuracy last night. At this point he's just giving me top end gear to play a new spec, but I really don't want to because it'd probably be best with Spectral Helix. The GG builds are shaping up slowly...

    Well did some testing on standard. It's not Trauma for #damage x 20 times, it's Trauma x 20 times for damage. So the modifier physical damage from attack hits does work, but it's just a small chunk off a big block of damage. Unfortunate, was really looking forward to Gladiator/Raider/Berserker...

    So Trauma gives you 4% more damage per Trauma. Stacking that is obviously pretty amazing with the nerf to skill gems. So you have to mitigate all that damage so most people go Jugg, maybe Slayer to handle the massive amount of damage coming in at high stacks. Well, the trauma is in fact a hit...

    Not worried about clear, only about single target. Clearing can be fixed by a variety of secondary actions. Haemo, explodey chest, devastator node, etc etc. They could remove the explosion from the gem and it wouldn't change my thoughts about it.

    Blood magic is very popular with melee builds with the mana costs. People with Gemini claws obviously can skip it, but a lot of shieldy boys and totem slammers all go blood magic. It's even better if you can get Supreme Ego as well as it'll supe up your one aura. The shield builds look very...

    So their story isn't fed into your face and doesn't have awful long cutscenes that were half assed (yet, we'll see). I think probably 70% of players give 0 shits about story. For those interested, however, there are lore pages FUCKING EVERYWHERE with detail on events and characters and shit...

    I ate some a few weeks ago and the first chip was amazing. I was like "oh shit, they did it!" Then subsequent chips had much, MUCH less flavor. Maybe my taste buds just adjusted too quickly. Was pretty sad. They were still good chips though but it went from a dead on copycat to a water down...

    The Suicide Squad (2021)

    Was alright movie. John Cena was great in it, as he is in almost anything he does. Some of the characters felt rather limited in what they actually 'did'. Overall less regretable than some of the recent Marvel full movies. I'd say solid 7.5 out of 10.

    The combat shines in very small scale like 1 v 1, 3 v 3 type situations (though even in that, 1 guy is probably fucked instantly). The large scale stuff is a mess as it is in the majority of these games, I just want them to get Siege stuff right and at least the 20v20 Fort stuff is a bit clunky...

    I don't press any flasks but my characters are EB/Blood Magic so I don't need a mana flask. I do occasionally hit my diamond as it is "on full charges" and tougher fights it may not refresh. The adjacent flask enchant is good because you can piggyback a well rolled flask. They really should...

    I think a lot of this is people just wanting to be sour about the state of MMOs and some of it is Ashes of Creation fanboyism, even though that game is years out. Like, this isn't the era of WOW versus NEW MMO. You can play different games and other games can be successful. Very weird shit...

    Yeah, I think MOST people at this point have pretty tempered expectations of these games. Like, I've said since alpha in here that it's not ready for an end game grind. They've even said it. But this team can fucking crank content and I believe in them enough to make SOME sort of end game...

    You can very easily level life staff/X. Grab a chunky melee like an axe or sword and board or even spear. Open with lifestaff, pew pew pew until it gets closer, throw a circle or two below you, switch and fuck it up. We had a dude heal AND tank the first dungeon with our 4 man group. He had...

    The best part is the Act 1 mobs got buffed and it applies to their versions in maps. Hence the coming Goatmen nerf. Fucking Rhoas would just show up on top of your corpse because they'd get so much attack speed. The goatmen leapslam for half your health + molten core for the rest combo was...
