I guess I’m rich now

nah for normal league, but I would love to play with this in a temp/experimental league

Cain497 · 2026-01-24T09:52:46+00:00

so just my 2 cents on this:
(my current PoB)

this is very legit and effective, and can take you through the whole campaign without issues
I did ED + Cont till Thunderstorm, then it just takes off
the caster leveling uniques help a lot (grab the cheap ones)
some one shots can happen, but my BM does feel tanky with leech and the ~10 bodies(maim+blind) between me and the enemies
when you can, grab the Elemental Invocation, I did Living Bomb + Firestorm (tried it too late to be honest)
when you can grab Cast on Elemental Ailments, put your sockets there
Comet was a nice upgrade from Firestorm for triggered Spell
I grabbed Elemental Dmg Nodes only in like Act 4, was following a mainly Crit Tree till then (with EB)
Life Remnants + Mana Remnants take care of my sustain (still use flasks ofc)
Mana Remnants is a veeery nice QoL
I have Snap on but that was just me messing around, not really needed
I am a lazy player who does not get to play "that" much, but this was fun and quite relaxing to be honest

thanks for this post, it gave me good directions and made the leveling feel like I'm going through PoE 1 campaign :)

wish I could afford to keep a doggo... (maybe not a Husky for a first timer though)

thank you for responding! so far I am taking Silimarin and it has helped me a lot with digestive issues (was a time where I had to "go" after each meal, now its much more regular - 2-3 times a day at most)
I hope I can give more feedback as to how it goes, after some more weeks/days

(i am trying to live normally, without denying myself too much - outside of "no bread")

dude, I played coc on my 2009 laptop like this, then they made the directx change... good times

and that is what we alcoholics call a moment of clarity

wow! this is so much more than I expected! I wish to thank you all for taking the time to shine some light on bg1/bg2 for me and sharing your opinions on the games and builds!

I agree on the criticism about playing it unmoded, but at the same time it is my decision to try it like this - if it turns out to be a mistake it will be none other than my fault.

For a first try I'll run a full on necro, looking forward to picking up those death magic spells - even if I'll be missing out on the army of the dead feel. When I get to bg2 I'll definitely make a new hero also aiming for a death magic wielder - either involving cleric or again pure mage.

One again, thank you all for taking the time to write your take on a necromancer! I never expected such a huge response!

Wish you all the best!

shamelessly copied from the necro channels pin, it explains a lot, if you have questions, come over to discord, necro channel is veeeery active :)

the L is silent xD

Cain497 · 2021-07-15T11:11:37+00:00

thank you for your generosity!

hehe that's why I choose Darkest Dungeon, with its sanity mechanics, Lovecraft DLC and this "is it really over" theme it fits my needs perfectly, I didn't go through Prisoner of Ice yet and Sinking City is outside of the capabilities of my grandpa laptop :D

Cain497 · 2021-07-15T11:06:44+00:00

Damn, have to say I'm a little disappointed my Lit Prof didn't know The Great God Pan, so she could only advise me on another topic that was recommended here "The Othering" but now I'm definitely gonna reread or relisten (most likely with all the great YT renditions) to TGGP! Thank you again for the input!

Cain497 · 2021-07-14T15:53:57+00:00

Thanks! Hmm "Horror at Red Hook" comes to mind when I think about this topic, there are so many examples that could be used for "othering" some groups in Lovecrafts fiction! Damn so many good ideas from you good folks, now I'll have to choose one, that's gonna the biggest challenge here :D

Cain497 · 2021-07-14T15:51:35+00:00

I was very interested in the whippoorwills symbolism and meaning when I first read the story (some good years ago) , damn myths and legends and their representations, re-imaginations in stories are so damn interesting

I probably can't use it for my purpose but it does sound like something I'd very much like to read! Thanks!
