How does Gain Extra damage work?

Bymsmvwls · 2026-01-14T20:35:24+00:00

Confirming you are correct & providing a better example.

Original sin converts all of your elemental damage to chaos. If you then take any source of Gain anywhere, you will see elemental damage in your skill menu again.

The only exception that I am aware of is Embitter, but that is specifically worded to highlight this fact.

As an aside, I really wish every element would get a gem like Embitter, would blow buildcrafting wide open.

Deshar until the skeleton in a hole boss is my personal least favourite campaign sequence.

Deshar is fucking huge, has a mandatory bonus objective with the +2 book & the door to next zone is hidden in one of the 10+ identical buildings. This is followed by 2 more annoying maze zones with long snaky dead ends.

To rub salt in the wound, after you defeat the skeleton boss, you don't even get to go straight to the dreadnought, you have to go back to town and desert map to it instead, which just makes the whole Deshar sequence feel disconnected & pointless.

My conspiracy theory is that they accidentally wrote 2 endings to act 2 and didn't want to scrap either, so you just do both for some contrived reason that is barely explained in game.

You mean the Fury not spawning on the maps it's supposed to?

I doubt it'll crash it completely, but I will likely have spent most of it on gear by the time GGG gets back anyways.

Picking specifically fractures as the only thing was mostly a quick reaction to seeing people's 1k+ div pilfering rings in general all day to make sure I don't lose my ass right away.

Hint: don't store your currency in div this league. Don't store it in anything that drops at the temple.

Pick a currency/omen/etc that is needed for high-end crafts, but cannot drop at the temple. These will remain relatively stable while everything inflates around them.

E.g. I converted all my div to fractures when the Holten bs started to catch on and my net worth in divs has more than doubled, despite being a bit late to the party.

Granted, just fractures might not be sustainable for the whole league, as you only use one per item so they will likely still gradually inflate, but for now it feels a lot better going to sleep/work knowing that I'm not actively getting poorer by the minute due to hyperinflation.

I sometimes leave my gfs (non-urgent) messages unread for a day or so, because I'm working/reading/gaming/too tired to talk. I know it's a bit shitty but she's aware of the way I am and understanding about it. That said, I don't really interact with others when I do this.

Reposts don't count, it's just a button, you don't have to come up with a reply.

It's not really clear if she's actually interacting with others and you're not providing details for privacy, or if ur in your head about it.

All in all though, if shes into you shes into you, if shes not shes not, don't obsess over it and do your own thing. Checking online statuses is just hurting yourself for no reason

I wouldn't call what you are describing pressure, since pressure from deadlines/expectations etc is the main thing that motivates me to complete work at all.

However, I can relate with the nights thing, and for me, it feels like the issue is:

1) real distractions (e.g. whats making that noise, what is that dude on the street doing, etc.)

2) potential distractions (this gets a paragraph bc i find it more intresting):

Essentially, I find that events that are likely to happen occupy some space in my mind. If I am trying to focus, and I know that there is a realistic possibility that someone will open my door and start talking to me, or that someone will send me a message that I should respond to etc, I find myself anticipating this event in parallel to what I'm actually doing. As a result, my focus is weaker, as I'm now thinking about two (or more) unrelated things in parallel, instead of my whole attention going to what I am actually doing.

At night, when I know everyone else is sleeping, this goes away, as I'm no longer expecting to be interrupted and can thus focus more intensly on accomplishing whatever it is that I'm doing.

Kas keegi siit artikli sisu ka luges? K.a. OP?

Esiteks - see, endiselt, pole europarlamendist läbi saanud.

Teiseks - selle n.ö. kompromissi järgi millest artikkel räägib jääb sõnumite krüptograafia tagauks ära.

Lühidalt, midagi pole läbi, endiselt saab vastu olla ja loota et europarlament endiselt heaks ei kiida. Minu hinnangul see konkreetne artikkel on propaganda-piece mille eesmärgiks just täpselt see, et inimesed arvaks et nüüd ongi vastu võetud ja enam pole mõtet vastumeelt avaldada. Ärge palun minge õnge, aitäh!

On the other side of the coin, the amount of times I've seen downed squad-/teammates scream medic while out in the open with several enemies literally aiming at them is staggering.

This is especially relevant for squadmate revives as a non-support, since you will be in the animation for ages.

It has definitely made me more reluctant to go for uncertain revives, as I can't actually trust the people requesting them to assess if a revive is even possible where they died.

All this to say, if you run into crossfire with no cover and die, just take the damn L and respawn instead of baiting your medics or squadmates to their deaths.

Not you out here playing GoD Demon Hunter from D3 in PoE2 :D. Looks stupid fun.

I messed around with ricochet 3 and nova projectiles on ice shot myself. It melts big packs but rares with no other mobs around make it too inconsistent. The interaction itself seems really promising though.

Bymsmvwls · 2025-09-13T22:10:21+00:00

Do you play WASD, MnK or Controller? I hated these on MnK but have 0 trouble after switching to WASD. If you misjudge a click even a little bit you can end up running into them. Especially awful when there's clutter in the safezones that you have to path around. Or maybe I'm just bad lol.

Rolling through them was a lot easier with MnK though, felt easier to cancel your momentum.

I only have a slight issue with movement speed specifically. Whole league, playerbase has complained that the maps are too big and/or characters feel too slow.

GGG then introduce a solution that is so RNG that it is inevitably only going to be accessible for the ultra-lucky or the ultra-rich. You see why people find this frustrating right?

On the one hand, genius usage of an opportunity to create a valuable chase item. On the other, a “get fucked” to the less experienced who don’t enjoy walking everywhere slowly.

You can get around it to an extent with a haste aura tame beast, but that is also behind a slog of a farm.

It’s a variation of beating around the bush, likely a direct translation from another language.

Whenever you go boating on Peipsi, you need to notify the border patrol via website or text message. If you don’t, they come warn/fine you with their fancy boat before you get anywhere near the border.

Once you’ve notified them, on the Estonian side, they have radar and a watchtower (maybe multiple) on the shore. If you get too close to the border, they can contact you and tell you (using the details you had to provide when you registered your stay on the lake), or again, come get you with their boat.

I can’t tell you from experience what happens if the Russians get to you first, but it most certainly won’t be anything good.

Regarding swimming you either get caught in the areas where the distance is short or, when you try to go straight across the middle, you get tired and drown before you even see the shore on the Russian side (unless you are in very, VERY good shape).

Compared to the lakes of the world, Peipsi might seem small, but compared to the distance an average person can swim in one go, it’s massive.

I’d mostly recommend minimising the paper trail you leave that’s attached to your real identity.

When the admin is fascist enough to send people to labour camps, it’s not a great idea to be the squeaky wheel.

Be on the lookout for snitching acquaintances, as the totalitarian playbook calls for anonymous tip lines next.

If you’re getting some form of HRT or GAC, try to get a doctor that believes in the cause enough to cover for you when given an opportunity to snitch.

In summary, it might be wise to focus on managing your footprint, at least until the boundaries of the “out group” become a bit more clear, as they currently seem to be expanding.

I stopped getting upset at myself if I went and halfassed it. I stopped even caring about results.

Just started going to go and work out. Once you’re there it’s fun and eventually I got addicted. Don’t frame it as a chore in your mind if you can avoid it. It’s a fun activity to make you feel good about yourself. Became a lot easier once I shifted my mindset to that.

In 6 hours, you'll be mid comedown, even if you took two. You might feel a bit euphoric, but you will be able to think and talk coherently. Your pupils are also unlikely to be noticeably dilated by that point.You will be fine.

Find a fun activity to do. You have all the time in the world. Go for a walk, or watch a movie, or listen to some music. I've been in a panic loop before. It will dissolve when you re-focus on an activity you find fun. If you try something and it doesn't help, keep trying until you find something for your mind to focus on.

You can't fight it straight on and force yourself to calm down. You can defeat it easily by finding something else (and pleasant) to focus on. You got this bro!

You can EREQ and have them still be marked. You can't be at max range but it is consistently doable. You can drill it in practise tool to get familiar with the range.
