    Anyone ever deal with bed bugs before? Had a friend come through for a few days a month or so ago and apparently deposited them in my place from the grody motel-6 or whatever he stayed at in Kansas on the way out here. Already had an exterminator out and they death-bombed my place, but it...

    I have no zero sympathy for anyone playing hardcore in this game lol. The game just isn't designed for it anymore. The way league content/map mods/rare monster auras can and will stack up make it a complete non-starter for anyone that isn't a complete masochist or needs it to keep their stream...

    Diablo II - Resurrected

    It's on the most current D2 patch, meaning immunities are in, and there's about 2.5 viable skills in the entire game.

    I wore a winterheart all the way through my sirus kills and the rest of the endgame I did on the first build. Just macro'd all my flasks as I have for every league otherwise. There's some tiny gaps in uptime here or there on the quicksilver now, but otherwise map density in reds is such that...

    Bunch of crotchety old fucks in here. This shit was hilarious. Weird Harley parts were overdone, but the rest of the cast was awesome. Is John Cena even human? He looks like an abnormally tall dwarf lol.

    Y: The Last Man

    Comics are some of the best ever written. No way this does them justice, but we can at least hope it's well made and they don't miss the point entirely. Odds on them cutting the one-tittied amazon gangs entirely? I give it 30% they are still in the story.

    Hrm I've never had to have a mod to keep my own dudes from walking over traps. It sounds like if their traps are in their only viable path to a location that could be what's doing it? Even friendly caravans and such will avoid stepping on them provided they can move around them - they are...

    Yea all the shards or whatever for the vendors in this mechanic being tradeable just seems like a mistake to me? I don't know positives it even brings to the game, honestly. Are people really saving up stacks of thousands of Rog shards or whatever and trying to bulk sell them?

    SSF is so, so close right now. Fusings are the last thing keeping me from doing it, and that sounds like it's changing with PoE2 anyway? But at the same time the way they merged all uniques in to one mega drop pool feels like a step backwards for having SSF be viable for the general audience of...

    I have no idea what the orb triggers even all are heh. I suppose having freeze immunity on like a granite or something would be nice if it autotriggers on getting frozen?

    I run my same flask macro I always have. There's less charges, but once you're doing like red maps the density is such that it's barely noticeable anymore. Flasks are like 90% uptime instead of 100%, and are weaker in general, but the gameplay is the same for me. I ain't strategically pressing...

    I've had more than a dozen logbooks drop from maps. Are people just not prioritizing the the nodes with +50% logbook drop rate? They should be your first bomb every time if they are available, followed by bombing as many runic skulls as you can. The rewards from the mechanic in maps are...

    Hrm I thought for years they had a flat 20% reduced taken, but now that I dig around I can't find any mention of that anywhere. Wishful thinking maybe? But yea I don't think my totems ever die due to the self-damage. I treat them way more like mines than totems if that makes sense? You run...

    I don't think you particularly even need any chaos res on them. The base totem stats and reduced damage they take is doing just fine currently with no additional chaos res. You re-cast them so often during general mapping that I don't think I've ever had one die from it's self damage before I...

    Yea I never imagined it would work that way but it does heh. You can see it easily if you self cast it, and the shutgun overlap is *nuts* (depending on the size of your target). I can still get 3 more projectiles with a rain of splinters and a helm enchant for fucking 8 primary proj which should...

    Forbidden rite totems starting to come in to their own finally. Spent ~15c so far on a soul mantle and a wand and couple kikazaru rings, but otherwise just SSF. Only on a 5L but the damage looks like it's there for sure. Took me a bit to realize how extra projectiles interact with it as I...

    He will throw a ton of prefix/suffix harvest-style rerolls at you, so things like tri-res boots, or a ring, can suddenly become extremely good with a couple hits of 'reroll prefixes 10 times keeping the best outcome' type stuff. There's also quite a bit of just upgrading modifier tiers, so...

    I thought for sure they'd cave immediately on the billion different currencies dropping and having to be picked up. Reminds me so much of metamorph that it seemed obvious it'd get the same treatment, but I guess we just have to shovel a dozen different macguffins in to the stash every map?

    Harvest is the worst thing they ever put in this game, precisely because this is what it has done to people. PoE existed for half a decade before harvest and was great.

    Campaign hasn't felt any different at all. I'm just about up to a10 kitava and aside from some act bosses being a bit tankier it's the same game really?

    Mechanic was hilarious white hot death in mud flats when it spawned 25 zombie rhoas that all charge you at once.

    It'll still be perfectly fine with heavy investment, but the floor got lowered significantly and it's likely gonna feel really, really bad with mana pools smaller than 10k.

    I'm gonna try blessed hammer on a raider I think? Use a claw for some nice sustain? Worst case is it's pretty similar to the lightning strike tree so I can just fall back to that if it sucks.

    Dark pact totems already did omega damage, so with the new one scaling slightly better and having actual projectiles with the potential for two hits against bosses then damage is gonna be through the roof. Just gotta deal with being a totem build heh.

    Naw GGG is the one with no spine here.

    Lightning strike raider from last league updated. No flasks active/no totem/no vaal haste nonsense. Would need to re-jigger the tree a tiny bit to fix up the extra 50% ailment avoidance, but otherwise the character looks completely fine:

    Forbidden rite is nuts isn't it? It doesn't say you can't spell totem it and totems easily get like 15-20k life? Behead is actually probably good as well? Low life being 50% means it's pretty relevant most of the time, and generic 49% more is close to or is the best damage support left in the game?
