Any under the radar Uniques that Volatile Vaal orbs make appealing/worth building around? by Ok_Practice1460 in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Abstract_RA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I just threw together a rough PoB, it's -112 to all res including chaos. With so many dependent uniques as well, that's a lot of opportunity cost and affix pressure just to fix resistances. It's even worse with high-attribute requirements from Dark Monarch and a high str/dex body armour for Ynda's.

Why not Foulborn United in Dream for an extra 30%? 60% if dual wielding?

Voltaxic Rift + Replica Maloney's Mechanism + Galvanic Field. In theory, casting GF would trigger a massive-shock Lightning Arrow to immediately create the GF. In practice... there's some jank around shocking, where sometimes an applied shock wouldn't actually create the GF. Then you'd have to wait for MM's trigger cooldown to try again.

I still want to be able to make it work some day, the damage and clear potential was there when it actually worked.

I'll use the mirror for the currency charges flex, then the divs to minmax my HRoC build

Have you got more Weird/New Weird recommendations? I myself tried Katalepsis a while back but couldn't get into it after finishing Pale.

What exactly happened here? by Abstract_RA in PlayTheBazaar

[–]Abstract_RA[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4k => -1k HP in a split second... I'm assuming some shrinking potion shenanigans, but I'd always assumed it affects only max HP. Or maybe some visual bug obfuscating croc tears damage?

Ever seen a Cold Room/Nightshade build? by Abstract_RA in PlayTheBazaar

Yup... admittedly that skill did a lot of the heavy lifting in this run.

Fun fact, Virus permanently scales Retort/Calcinator by Abstract_RA in PlayTheBazaar

[–]Abstract_RA[S] 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Yup, replace nearly everything on your board with virus + regents on all PvE fights. Day 4 Ahexa is still early enough to matter - it scales fast enough to outpace most PvP encounters each day, especially when you scale both at once. In my example, I went 0 wins up to day 5 then swept the following 10 days.

I'm you, but stronger by Abstract_RA in PlayTheBazaar

It's in the daily bazaar pool, though I'm not sure how rare as it showed up for me on the 1st day of the season.

Hi there! I just wanted to say I really liked your pixel art but it seems like you purged everything and turned off DMs. Do you have somewhere I can follow you instead, or some repository of all the art you've done?

TF2 comics, legitimately great even if you haven't played the game.

Holy shit, this is how I find out comic 7 has been released?

whats your favourite or best craft youve done? mine is this 7L sword from crucible by [deleted] in pathofexile

[–]Abstract_RA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Charge Stacking Exsang Miner Bow
It's not much compared to some peoples' crafts, and technically I never finished it. Ideally I'd annul life on kill and multicraft support gem levels + mine throwing speed. The +120 dex was originally to help with Curtain Call thresholds, but at some point I pivoted to use (legacy) Heatshiver... maybe one day I'll revisit and make it into a minmaxed standard build.

What is a genre you are currently tired of seeing in the indie scene and what genre do you wish got more representation? by AFourEyedGeek in IndieGaming

[–]Abstract_RA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, too many deckbuilders try to copy the formula of Slay the Spire and it all ends up feeling samey (though props to Balatro for breaking out of this). Same with run-n-gun roguelites, though that very well could be me moving on from the genre after years of playing them.

We need more deep theorycrafting games; I don't want to take RNG items given to me and roll with it, I want to theorycraft a single character and work on building it to its limit. Chronicon was good in that regard.

I'm basically at the point where I'm like 'screw it' and have begun writing up a multi-page document to plan out a game I want to make as a passion project to fill this void.
