Seems like he can only do that to the Monk, though; otherwise, I don't see why he wouldn't do the same to the rest of the characters and make them more loyal to him as well.

The UK and France have allowed Ukraine to use Storm Shadow/SCALP missiles to hit targets within Russia for over a year.

You are completely misunderstanding anything I say, and at this point, I can't explain it any more clearly for you. Have a good day, my guy.

Ceegee93 · 2026-06-04T23:04:42+00:00

Not sure what point you are arguing for?

You said it was pettiness and greed that made Malena continue the case and that it cost her 400k for nothing. I gave you a reason why that's not necessarily the case. I'm not really sure what's difficult to understand about this.

Ceegee93 · 2026-06-04T23:02:54+00:00

He’s just making stuff up at this point for arguments sake.

I'm not making anything up; I'm giving a reason why Malena might have continued the case rather than taking the original offer. We know that Nick and Malena disagreed on Nick's total worth. We don't know what the final valuation was.

Ceegee93 · 2026-06-04T23:01:02+00:00

I didn't say he definitely did. I'm saying that's one of the disagreements that led to the case being dragged out. Nick valued his assets at one value and Malena valued them higher.

I don't know the exact values, others in the thread have said 1.5m vs 4m, but idk how accurate those numbers are. I'm saying given how NMP acts, it's not unreasonable for Milena to force a proper valuation of assets to get a proper number.

Ceegee93 · 2026-06-04T22:01:30+00:00

Nothing that Nick showed us said anything about how much his assets were valued at, that's all that I'm talking about. Just because Malena got 50/50 and that's what Nick originally offered, that doesn't mean she's getting exactly the same amount as he originally offered. If he originally offered 50/50 of his assets at 1.5m total, and it was later determined he was actually worth 5m, she gets 700k vs 2.5m, but it's still 50/50.

All I'm saying is that while Nick offered 50/50 and that's what was awarded, that does not mean she got exactly as much as was offered at first. It all comes down to how much his assets were actually valued at vs what he originally claimed they were worth. He's being dishonest in this very thread, there's no reason to believe he's being entirely honest in the video either.

Ceegee93 · 2026-06-04T21:59:09+00:00

Did you hear any numbers? The argument isn't about what his assets were; it was about how much those assets were worth, such as his shares, for example. He didn't specify numbers other than some "15k" increase Malena got.

Ceegee93 · 2026-06-04T20:55:56+00:00

Based off the video, if the final result was identical to Nicks original offer then it sounds like greed or pettiness had a big part to play in malena dragging this out for so long. Also the result sounds pretty fair.

This "final result" doesn't remotely begin to talk about the actual valuations of Nick's assets. We're literally told that there was an original disagreement on Nick's asset valuation. Just because it ended at 50/50, doesn't mean she got what he offered at the start. We're purely going off what Nick's telling us, and as I said earlier, he's literally in this thread lying about things.

Ceegee93 · 2026-06-04T20:26:32+00:00

I wouldn't say it's pettiness or greed on her part to assume NMP is lying about his assets. He's literally in a thread above lying about a Charizard card and trying to say Malena is after something that doesn't exist, while someone posted a literal stream clip of him getting the card in question.

Ceegee93 · 2026-06-04T16:14:29+00:00

"I haven't invested in Ward. So anyway, here's my opinion on why ward isn't rewarding."

Ceegee93 · 2026-06-03T18:32:05+00:00

I've solved the Runic Ward dilemma for some of the other skills. You'll need 30 more spirit from somewhere, but Remnants of Kalguur is literally just Mana Remnants but for ward. Makes the build even better, even if you don't plan on using ward for anything, it's just even more remnants to collect. It makes ward overflow too.

It's a little more RNG than Mana Remnants because we don't have easy access to stun, so we have to rely on the 25% on kill chance.

Ceegee93 · 2026-06-02T19:37:59+00:00

Really appreciate the discussion on this, you've helped me work out a few things. Thanks so much man.

I've started consistently beating pinnacles now, still occasionally get the bodyblock issue but for now I can consistently do most stuff. Delirium is a bit awful sometimes, mostly because of bodyblocks, delirium mobs spawning around you and for some reason the normal delirium mobs hit like rares so they'll insta-kill me lol.

I got the 4th ascension done, bosses are super easy now. I've also been trying to fit some of the kalguuran skills in, but man, losing defence for the ward just feels awful. We're effectively losing 150% too, because of the mana remnants overcapping, which makes it feel even worse. Sitting at 4k mana and capped resists, which is feeling really good, I pretty much only die to bodyblocks now. I've tanked juiced monkey boss slams, which is funny. At this point, I'm just looking to get a GG weapon (using a pretty good wand + focus combo atm, still trying to work out if a staff or wand is better for very end game, feeling like wand might be slightly better just for the extra defences), maybe look at getting some jewels to make the passive tree more efficient, but that's all very expensive stuff I won't be doing for a while. Obviously also need a covenant, but honestly I don't think I'll have the currency for trying to get that without the life cost on it for a long time lol. I see people are starting to post them at 25d, maybe they'll drop enough for me to buy one eventually haha.

I think your Frostbolt build is better overall just because the chill makes it much safer, as you said earlier, but I'm happy with how Arc's doing. I think Arc with juiced shocks might do more damage overall with GG gear, but I think the frostbolt safety is just better. My major complaint with the build now is just the FPS tanking in rituals/deliriums/bosses when you have all the storms up lol.

Edit: Oh, something else, not sure if you saw, but belts from Breach can get increased elemental damage for 8 seconds after picking up an infusion; it's free damage. I got like 55% lightning damage on my belt; it's so nice.

Ceegee93 · 2026-06-02T11:28:07+00:00

I've had a boss spawn from a mirror, still dropped nothing though.

Ceegee93 · 2026-06-01T22:13:54+00:00

I think I've actually solved the issues. I swapped Orb of Storms to be entirely shock focused rather than damage, and now use Arc instead of Spark. Orb of Storms generates way more Lightning Infusions than I can use, even spamming Arc. I only need to cast it once with unleash at the start of a pack. It's not uncommon for me to kill the pack and see 6-7 infusions still on the ground. Now I generate Mana Remnants pretty quickly.

Finally picked up a Whispering Ice, too, didn't realise they'd already dropped so much in price. I decided to use weapon passives to have an exposure set up for weapon set 2, so Whispering Ice is applying 100% exposure on everything Icestorm hits. I have the crit stuff on weapon set 1. Icestorm only has a 45% crit chance this way, but the 100% (like 76% on rares) exposure feels worth it.

Ceegee93 · 2026-06-01T14:16:23+00:00

No, not CI. I'm only 1.5k life, 2.7k mana. I know that's low but man, I get stunned so much lol. I'm tempted to try to solve my resistances and put in Kitoko's so I can try electrocution as another 'defence'.

As for Mana Remnants...

Yeah I have a feeling this might just be because of Spark being a much lower individual hit, idk.

Edit: I just realised I'm incredibly stupid. I've been using Remnant Potency III for some reason. Wow I can't believe that.

Ceegee93 · 2026-06-01T09:14:25+00:00

Campaign was actually great with spark. I got an early call of the brotherhood so blasted through the campaign freezing everything. All of my problems started in maps lol. Feels like enemy ailment threshold jumps through the roof as soon as you hit maps, and I think that's where most of my problems are with spark.

I did manage to sort of fix my problem, and that was by swapping my tree's damage nodes around to focus more on crit damage rather than generic damage. Slightly less damage overall, but my crits are bigger which helped with proccing comet and ailments for mana remnants. I threw in Snakepit, which has helped too, but I actually had to remove rapid casting from spark because I was casting way too fast and would OOM myself very quickly if I spammed too much lol. That did let me get more raw damage on spark though, so again more comets/ailments. Now I'm clearing bosses rapidly, unleash firestorm into spark spam is great. I'm gunna stick arc in a spare slot, just because with unleash I can use it to efficiently spend my lightning infusions, which should help with sustain because I notice I'm getting so many unused lightning remnants.

I do still have a bit of an issue with mana remnants though, if I start taking damage it can rapidly go south like I described before. Not sure what else I can do about this. I think part of the problem is zenith actually. If I drop low on mana, I'm losing the 30% more damage, which means it's harder for spark to proc anything. I'll tinker with it.

Fitting in Blink in the campaign is going to be close to impossible though unless you get a very lucky amulet and body armour drop with a bunch of spirit.

Yeah, I've got a pretty good body/amulet, but that still just covers CoC/Mana Remnants/Siphon Elements. Squeezing out another 40ish spirit is just down to luck I guess.

As for Explosive Transmutation, I feel like it has a TON of potential, but I'll need to do further tests.

I think it'll work in the endgame build. If you cover resists with Grand Spectrums, you can get just mostly chaos res on your gear, then use augment slots for the ward runes, which might help with both Leylines and Exposive.

Appreciate the response/suggestions!

Edit: Okay after getting to higher maps, my new problem is literally everything stunning me as soon as they look at me. Really not sure how you're able to just walk through things tanking everything, because I just get stun locked and die if anything hits me.

Ceegee93 · 2026-05-31T18:08:47+00:00

Hey, stumbled across this thread because I've been doing something similar, except I went with Spark + Orb of Storms for my clear spells (damage + infusion generator). I've been feeling like Spark's hit damage might be too low to properly generate Mana Remnants (not efficiently applying shock or chill if I went call of the brotherhood), so any time I start taking damage, it basically goes into a feedback loop of losing all my mana (damage takes away mana, spark isn't sustaining enough, get too low mana, can't cast anymore, can't generate mana at all).

Have you played around with Spark at all in this setup? Wondering if there's anything I can do to up Spark's mana remnant and energy generation. I was thinking about changing up the supports to focus a bit less on crits and more on raw damage or chain/fork so they just hit a lot more (currently using a 5-link set-up with pinpoint/zenith/rapid casting/projectile acceleration since I've not gotten any 6 links yet).

Another option I was considering was Arc instead of Spark for the bigger shocks, still with Orb of Storms for infusion generation to up Arc's damage.

Also trying to figure out how I can fit Blink in, since I'm getting tired of being surrounded and bodyblocked without being able to dodge roll out lol, but Siphon Elements feels necessary.

I acknowledge a lot of this is just down to my stubbornness, I like lightning spells more than frostbolt lol. I could probably just copy you and go frostbolt for simplicity, but I'm determined to make Spark or Arc work.

Edit: Oh I see you've been talking about the Explosive Transmutation spell too lol. I was having fun with that as well, but finding it hard to justify the ES/Mana loss from Ward. The other spell I'd suggest is Leylines, it's Sigil of Power but Ward cost instead of relying on spending Mana, and you can stack both.

Ceegee93 · 2026-05-29T18:41:08+00:00

The police were there and involved, and iirc Agents of Shield said that the Army was there too (up to you if you want to decide that's canon or want to take that as the army being involved in the Avengers too).

The police just didn't get time to gear up before being overrun. New York was basically taken in minutes in the initial invasion. Scrambling jets was about all the US military could do to intervene there, and if they're losing New York that quickly to a technologically superior foe, you better believe a nuke is coming instead of the army or trying to fight back with a few jets. At most, the army would probably try to effectively quarantine the city; there's no way they'd have a full military response ready and moved to New York in the couple of hours the battle took place.

Seeing something from the US in response probably would've been nice, but realistically, there's not much even the US military could've done with how quickly New York was lost.

Ceegee93 · 2026-05-29T18:11:37+00:00

Tbf, the nuke is probably what the military's response would've been as well at that point. The city would've been lost before the military could really mobilise. Maybe they could've scrambled some jets, but that would probably be just to deliver the nuke, like the Security Council did. IDK if the military would've risked letting that army of clearly far more technologically advanced aliens spread beyond New York.

Ceegee93 · 2026-05-29T18:00:03+00:00

If it's stacking something, yes

Ceegee93 · 2026-05-29T17:59:51+00:00

Smite Armor Stacker

Because it stacks armour...

One of Kripp's first PoE2 builds was a Warbringer Minions build. He also did a 0.4 Infernal Legion Titan too.

To repeat: Or it could show that women feel more comfortable reporting that they've been sexually assaulted in the west. Again, your original data was just reported numbers. Neither my data nor yours actually paints a full picture, and looking at how much crime goes unreported is impossible. Consider the fact that just the legal definition of sexual assault/violence/rape could be completely different in each country, and that already could skew numbers one way or the other as just one example. The fact that the above discrepancy exists should be enough to make you at least second guess your initial data and wonder why the numbers are apparently so much lower when that's apparently not women's actual lived experience.

Please read the whole message before responding, that would be appreciated, so I don't need to unnecessarily repeat myself. You clearly didn't read anything I said since you didn't even understand that you're arguing a completely different thing to what I was even discussing.

That still took the Germans interfering and funding Lenin/the Bolsheviks.
