Everyone thinking about playing lacerate needs to log in to standard and test it out a bit. The hemorrhage variant has 0 AE scaling and can't switch to sand stance. Everyone uses it for these build recommendations because the numbers on it are absurd, but even with bleed pops the clear is gonna...

PoB does some weird calculations with bleed with your attack speed vs bleed duration vs average hit to come up with the numbers it does, so it's like always averaging out ruthless? I haven't been quite able to make exact sense of what it's doing, but it definitely isn't just counting your...

Oh dear god autoexert reserves 15% mana per warcry, how did I miss that Chief slam start is looking pretty fucking rough

I was really hoping you could just roll the ~50% aggravate on initial bleed application No shot is it gonna be worth it to fish for good rolls with ruthless + fist of war procs and then aggravate on top I'm pretty sure crimson dance is bait in all scenarios now given how much faster bleeding...

Chieftan bleeds DOA: Glad or nothing if you wanna play bleed

Whole bunch of changes this morning, basically removing/nerfing every super broken thing anyone has come up with yet:

If you have herald dudes up you probably want to add rallying to an automate link then as it'll still get the exerted %more damage per minion then. I think manually activating seismic + enduring is probably just at the limit of piano nonsense that I'll be willing to deal with. Ancestral cry is...

Rallying doesn't buff you, only allies, so don't bother with that one, or if you do you have to run herald of purity and can just automate rallying since the only part of it you care about is the '5% more damage per ally'. Intimidating kept its double damage line so you need that one in there...

Ignite never worked that way previously no, stuff like taming/ele hit etc applies to each 'active' ailment - it doesn't matter how many inactive ignites or freezes there are. The new warden shocks are 50 individual 'active' shocks, or it's at least worded like that is how it's gonna work hence...

Yea I mean they don't really have a choice, it'd be the most broken thing in the game if they didn't. The real question is gonna be do their change elemental hit, cause it has the same kind of scaling with %more damage for each ailment on the mob.

Yea Hayao is basically the GOAT, no one else is even close with a character with such lopsided matchups like Hugo.

There's what, 45% bleed aggravation on the tree, and a glove mod of unknown values? It's not perfect, especially since you'll need it to hit on the proper ruthless proc for the biggest bleeds. The best links for bleed are what, brutality cruelty melee phys lifetap ruthless now? Or maybe the...

Gladiator bleed is a trap I think The real bleed setups are gonna be chieftans with their free 7link 70% more damage node.

You just use them manually as needed. This should be levels of damage similar to the initial slam rework so realistically you really only use like, seismic cry, for general map clear, then hit intimidating for bosses or whatever. I don't think any of the automation works at all anymore (if you...

Warden I think is really going to want to be molten strike. The shock node is just way too strong to ignore, and the amount of hits required for it to scale bigly means it needs to be something like MS that can hit that often. If they don't change the taming before launch that setup is going to...

Deadeye lightning arrow can faceroll all the way to t16s easily. You'll struggle trying to do pinnacle bosses and maybe t17s (depending on how nerfed they actually are), but in terms of just clearing the atlas its definitely in the top tier of skills.

There's like one bad unique shield that did it I think? But yea lucky block with 70 block is some hefty fucking defense. Keep in mind they nuked most of the recover health on block affixes off shields tho, so you may have to use a surrender which will likely be very expensive. My PoB won't...

Bleed got buffed indirectly because it couldn't really make use of the melee totems. Stuff like lacerate getting double damage or more in just raw numbers means a lot bigger bleeds to apply.

Yep, frost blades for whatever reason didn't get a reworked animation during legion and used the ancient basic attack animation instead

Lightning strike had ~180 flat added lightning - the damage effectiveness MORE than makes up for that at 237% given how high the rolls on a weapon can go. Overall its a change that basically had to happen, as trying to balance all the varied melee skills while some had huge flat added while...

The system of monoliths isn't a problem at its core, but the objectives and quests for the blessings sure as fuck are. Recycling the dogshit campaign objectives that mostly amount to 'run across all of creation 5 times back and forth' does not make the endgame super compelling. There's also...

I really want to the enjoy this game but the performance is so fucking bad I'm not sure I can do it. This game somehow runs far, far worse than PoE, while not having even 1/10th the density of mobs/particles/bullshit on screen. My current necromancer is actually just DOA because I'm not...

They nerfed all the faction skips for truespirit, as in you can't just spam/repeat the same steps for more faction. It also resets your faction entirely upon completing the epic.

Who trades in this game anyway? The SSF bonuses are so strong and add a lot of much needed longevity to the endgame

The krono trade issues fucking *baffle* me. How is this not resulting in people rioting and burning the discord server to ground? That you cant just use the normal ass trade window and roll the dice on if you get to keep the krono that got handed to you? That's like a base system flaw in the...

Probably also implies a hatred nerf, as adding ~30% more phys damage for hatred to scale seems unwise. Almost every teaser has had a dead totem just sitting in the background so I'm pretty sure the melee buff totems are going away in exchange for this

I'm glad someone appreciates my dreamcoat made of 500 giant black cocks

Can you still farm endings with a single save file? I never bothered to get all the various ending achievements and figured I'd do it now cause I'm basically at elden beast again

Yea but he's unbeatable on style points. Just straight elbow dropping uppity tarnished

Whoa they let you summon Nepheli to fight her dad at the very end now, that's kinda sweet

Fashion souls has finally gone too far

Went back to finish up the rest of the base game on my save after completing the DLC - haligtree, farum azula, capitol of ash etc. Pretty fucking hilarious how easy mode all of this is after having to deal with the nonsense in the DLC. Placudisax was a fucking nightmare last time I played...

This was my immediate thought on completing it as well. I did basically the entire thing as a ~70str 2h build and never got to mess with the insane myriad of dex/bleed weapons I picked up, but the idea of slogging through the entire base game + DLC fragment hunt again is like...naw I'm good. I...

I dunno, trying to deal with the camera during 2nd phase Mesmers giant flailing snake teleports was about as peak GarbageSouls as I've ever encountered. Yea Radahn was some nonsense, but maybe my ~80str brick build made it feel less stupid cause I could actually facetank a fair bit of it and let...

Finished the last of it up today. Miles worse than the base game. It's like they decided that the Elden Beast was the pinnacle of boss design and used that as their basis for every non-humanoid fight, and even some of the humanoid ones. Gaius, 2nd phase Mesmer, gold hippo, etc. Just the actual...

Abyssal woods is the worst thing Fromsoft has ever designed, fite me 50 times larger than it needs to be, almost entirely empty space, nonsense quicktime event enemies. Just actually awful

They ran it again today in west freeport Keep an eye on your discords, they'll likely do it again I've got 4 bags now lol

Yea I mean yesterday it took a solid 60 seconds to get a group invite to work, if ever. Tells took ages, parcels going to the wrong people, zoning was a lottery every time etc. Server is obviously dying under the load so them having to cull the max a bit doesn't surprise me.

Again, show me the parse. Yea it's a bug and is gonna be fixed, but it didn't/doesn't matter. It gets monks to be pretty close to competitive with wizards but that's about it.
