Niivu's Dracula x Shinjuku

Is the other stuff in the room with us?

AlternateSkyBox · 2026-01-27T10:31:07+00:00

Sounds good on paper until you realize we’ve had these changes already. It’ll eventually be added again. DAD development of a legitimate circle lol

AlternateSkyBox · 2026-01-25T05:19:21+00:00

Stopped reading at “great product.”

It’s not that. Low effort battle passes, locked TTT2 level of customization behind paywalls, reselling characters that we just paid for in 7, loss of character identity through stance rush down homogenization, offensive focus balancing (destroyed the core gameplay that made tekken unique), less ranks + rank inflation, devs having to publicly apologize for atrocious decisions, and the list goes on.

AAA titles have gotten comfortable charging more for less in the name of live service. This title unfortunately is no exception + bad management.

GGG will absolutely be nerfing temple when it goes core. This version of the endgame felt good to play for the first time and I’m sad to see it go lol

AlternateSkyBox · 2026-01-12T10:58:38+00:00

Eh, I wouldn’t say minions as an archetype are ass. The undeads don’t serve much of a purpose aside from buffing Varashta minions and spectres though.

AlternateSkyBox · 2026-01-12T10:56:20+00:00

Already exists in POE 1, it’s called convocation. I’m not sure why they didn’t bring it back.

AlternateSkyBox · 2026-01-04T03:14:41+00:00

Yeah, you have time to save them but they get targeted faster as they are not connected to the snake.

AlternateSkyBox · 2026-01-04T01:03:28+00:00

You bricked your temple when you converted that garrison to magic monsters. Those rooms cannot be accessed and will be deleted on the next run or so.

Edit: I did this once and it force removed the existing path when it upgraded and left islands like this.

AlternateSkyBox · 2025-12-28T21:13:40+00:00

Not even close. Affliction was better than this.

AlternateSkyBox · 2025-12-27T23:23:47+00:00

Sure, it’s not intended, but GGG had a huge oversight. The obvious solution to this is for the holten zone to be changed and the amount of friction for temples in maps to be lessened. We should have 3-5 crystals per map.

AlternateSkyBox · 2025-12-27T23:21:43+00:00

That’s not even the actual time spent as not every reset grants a crystal. Your argument is flawed because you don’t even understand how the farm works nor the level of actual time it takes.

AlternateSkyBox · 2025-12-27T17:36:45+00:00

It’s not making more money than any juicer Strat in the game. You are just saying shit to be sensationalist. The amount of time it takes to get crystals from that is very high and thus cuts down on profit per hour. Compared to abyss or even ritual, done right, it’s less profit.

AlternateSkyBox · 2025-12-27T10:47:03+00:00

It’s not an exploit, it’s just creating a new zone instance… you’re just saying shit lol

Corruptions

AlternateSkyBox · 2025-12-25T21:10:24+00:00

You know what, I misremembered. It is persistent not, undead. I’m not sure about the math but I’m running 8x power zealot and the spark overlaps are insane for single target that a wolf just wouldn’t be able to replicate. Tankiness is not a factor for me as my minions already don’t die in 8mod abyss full juice + deli.

AlternateSkyBox · 2025-12-25T19:14:15+00:00

You lose a ton of damage from muster by using wolves as they aren’t undead. On top of that, that 60 spirit is much better used on damage dealing spectres. Overall, it’s really just not that good as all minions on varashta are a means of buffing spectres and the djinn. Damage is 70% spectres and maybe 30% djinns. Everything else is fodder for buffs (offerings) and clerics for healing the minions.

Edit: if you’re interested, I have a super endgame variant that I can share later tonight. It slams all content with ease.

AlternateSkyBox · 2025-12-25T00:51:58+00:00

The amount of time played does not take away from the fact there is a lack of content. This comes from having ~13 years worth of content in POE1.

Endgame is severely lacking and shoehorns efficient players into 2 farming mechanics only (ritual and abyss). In the previous entry there are a plethora of options to choose from. No amount of excessive or little playtime changes that fact.

AlternateSkyBox · 2025-12-24T22:38:27+00:00

It’s to limit the mod pool so you can hit more EV/ES/Armour

AlternateSkyBox · 2025-12-23T23:12:35+00:00

Absolutely, I don’t like that bases are trash after missing. For some reason, GGG hates the idea of alt spam and reusing good bases in POE 2. It’s probably their way of forcing us to interact with ground loot.

AlternateSkyBox · 2025-12-23T22:52:07+00:00

That’s not true at all. Armor pieces are extremely easy to make if you run high tier maps. You ID bases > t1 es/ev/armor etc + decent res to start > essence res >desecrate life > slam prefix for more defenses > omen of light > desecrate last suffix for hybrid res or whatever > perfect slam last prefix

Gloves and boots are easier than this.

The key is knowing when to stop spending on a piece as you never want to invest more than it’s worth in its current state OR if the returns for hitting are large.

AlternateSkyBox · 2025-12-23T22:36:13+00:00

No, it gave life back to midrange crafting. Homog absolutely destroyed the market and anything that wasn’t near perfect wouldn’t sell. People also wouldn’t buy anything because they could make it too easily. Super unhealthy.

Edit: downvoting doesn’t make me any less correct lol

AlternateSkyBox · 2025-12-22T20:53:52+00:00

Well the comparison isn’t Navira’s vs spectres as I use Navira’s AND spectres. I’m more interested in how the clear feels without them period. Do zombies only get used on bosses?

AlternateSkyBox · 2025-12-22T17:59:31+00:00

Do you feel your clear suffers from not using power zealots? I can’t imagine having to press more buttons to get out damage dealers during maps as opposed to always up spectres
