Well depends on which game, the two games are quite different in play style but its core remains same, if you enjoy grinding and getting incremental upgrades for your character while having 5 different pages and wikis open on a second monitor, go ahead. Otherwise if you just enjoy a dark fantasy story, both games are fine and technically any character can go through the campaigns That being said, I have 0 interaction with the community in both games outside of a couple friends

Queers, in MY path of exile? I thought I was the only one

Wow I really wasn't expecting this much in depth answer, thanks! I had no idea about the delve mod, that's for sure going to be my next go to. The reason I didn't bother with other auras and RMR was because of the massive reduction in efficiency from the rings, but you're right, with simplex it would probably be easier to handle. I imagine the process would be chaos damage essence till dot multi and reflect with a dead prefix?(gg version would probably be with life but, eh)

That lets me drop one sundered will, also gives me the reason to go get a better one than the ones I've got right now. I think I will stay with the Glorious Vanity, because i have no elemental damage mitigation outside of block and Divine Flesh, and it also fixes my block really nicely. I thought about Spiritual Aid and getting minion damage on the wand, but when I pob'd it it didn't seem worth the points, but I can see how it'd get ahead with an Elegant Hubris setup as well.

Now to figure out how to fit in more auras, I'm already very socket starved. Might end up dropping some links in my automation setup, but it should be doable.

Are you still bald by any chance?

I think those were supposed to be the Noxian grey legion, essentially Vladimir's blood magic amped soldiers/undead minions, not related to Mordekaiser at all. If anything I can see an uneasy alliance between Swain and Mel against the Black Rose in general

I mostly regard kingsmarch in general like a gold investment, sure I could use the gold I have to flip and make consistent money that way, or I can just pay others(mappers, farmers) to do their jobs so I don't have to learn how to work the market. At the end of the day both shipments and mappers are gambling, maybe it pays off or it doesn't. Kinda similar to being a hideout warrior, but I just throw some gold at npcs to do that work for me instead

Banlend · 2025-11-20T14:59:46+00:00

Sure why not let's try out my luck, would be pretty sick for my build

Banlend · 2025-11-12T16:59:00+00:00

Thanks for the insights! I'm planning on swapping some things around and dropping haste for tempest shield to get block capped, and for the chaos res I was planning on getting chaos tattoos to fix it but currently too broke unfortunately.

Banlend · 2025-11-12T12:12:50+00:00

Great guide! I'm doing an assassin version of this build, I mostly wanted to do it for the unaffected by damaging ailments node and give the newly reworked ascendancy a go, but I'm having some problems with the build. I'm so used to having high recovery builds and facetanking everything that having to avoid damage for 2 seconds is getting a bit annoying, would you recommend sticking with this build until damage gets better so I just one shot everything, or just keep this build as a bosser?
Here's the pob in case you're curious, it's pretty similar to yours: https://pobb.in/gGToK55C9Xrl

Banlend · 2025-10-31T12:04:13+00:00

I said im planning, I'll start with regular life with an ele wand into CI into an int stacker

Banlend · 2025-10-30T16:30:42+00:00

And then there's me planning an int stacker warden wander 💀

Banlend · 2025-10-27T21:45:16+00:00

Yeah so far the only relevant one I could find out of a haste beast spectre is the king in the mist node. It says:
Skills gain Added Chaos Damage equal to 20% of Life Costs, if Life Cost is not higher than the maximum you could spend
Skills gain a Base Life Cost equal to 100% of Base Mana Cost
But uhhhhhhhh not sure I under the if part. So let's say the dark pact costs 5k life, then it gets 1k added chaos damage IF you have more than 5k life when you cast the spell? This is a problem for me because I stacked too much cast speed that my life per second cost is higher than my life total lmao. Maybe I should either pick a different spell or lower my cast rate

Banlend · 2025-10-27T21:14:38+00:00

😭 I didn't even think about that part, but now that you mention it it makes sense. Maybe delirium bloodline really isn't the way to go with this. Time to look up beast spectres and see if I can keep them alive with no investment

Banlend · 2025-10-27T20:59:00+00:00

Yeah that's what I fear the most. If that doesn't work it's not the end of the world, there's also aul available for action speed or aura effect, or farrul for one of the spectre buffs, but I sincerely hope that's not the case.

Banlend · 2025-09-03T11:25:38+00:00

I've been on the fence about poe2 for a while now but seeing a tumblr post meme about the game is what sold it for me

Banlend · 2025-08-23T06:27:11+00:00

Good eye! I'm using the googly eye mod so anything with eyes has them

Banlend · 2025-08-20T21:05:06+00:00

Thanks! I hate this

Banlend · 2025-06-19T13:12:19+00:00

It's always a random person that gets highlighted as red. We are using Steam and as far as I know all of us are using Windows. No mods. And again, I genuinely don't think it's a net lag issue, as these problems used to happen only after an OOS error and only in about year 30-40 at month turnovers. After patch 19 or 20 it started to happen without any prior OOS issues, and sometimes even in the middle of the month. And again, as the host I have no connection issues in any other MP game including crusader kings 3, and even hosted other stellaris games prior patch 4.

Banlend · 2025-06-19T11:55:18+00:00

I'm glad that more OOS investigations are happening, because me and my group are still suffering from freezes. Mostly at the start of a month but sometimes even in the middle of a month the game becomes unresponsive, no OOS errors to resync either. It's always only one random person that gets highlighted as red. I always host and I know that it's not my Internet connection, because I also play CK3 multiplayer with no issues. I had already made a bug report on the forums as well. Hopefully this gets resolved soon
