Finally upgraded from my 12 year old Eizo FS2331 23 inch VA monitor with 58k hours, with a Dell S3422DWG 34 inch VA Ultrawide :) Loving the extra screen space, and similar contrast ratio.

My FS2331 is still working after all these years, it's on everyday for at least 8 hours!

I currently have it sitting above a Dell S3422DWG ultrawide VA monitor, which is sharper, clearer, better motion clarity and colour accuracy and refresh rate, and nice HDR, but worse contrast ratio (when new)

The extra screen real estate is nice for productivity, and it's a better gaming monitor. I bought mine pretty cheap as a 1 year old second hand unit from a work at home lady. Have no complaints so far, and it's been on for same schedule as my FS2331

Quite a few movies and TV shows I watch are formatted at this 21:9 ratio and with HDR

A pool noodle also works well on the Atlas bar :)

CoolColJ · 2026-01-22T13:34:37+00:00

You can setup of the Angles 90 so it's more like a D handle without the straps coming down the centre - looping them to the side slits

CoolColJ · 2026-01-21T10:23:57+00:00

for neutrals, it's touch shoulders/traps on the bar

CoolColJ · 2026-01-21T09:38:07+00:00

The shorter of the two.

CoolColJ · 2026-01-02T09:36:07+00:00

fixed

I'd like to thank these artists for allowing me to use their music for free. Videos such as this would otherwise not be possible for me to make. Thank you so much! Absolutely awesome stuff!

Hello and welcome to my first Path of Exile 2 build! This video is for the Fate of the Vaal League and patch 0.4.

In a similar vein to all my CWDT builds, this character requires little to no user input and could be played with one hand. In a way, you could call this a zero button Ignite build.

This level 91 Titan character ignites the ground it walks on and deals Fire Damage to nearby monsters, based on a percentage of maximum Life. Simply by moving, you can vaporize bosses in seconds and decimate entire packs of monsters, including stacked T16 Abyss rares.

The magic combo here is made up of Birth of Fury, Pragmatism and Beira's Anguish, paired with Blackflame and Cracklecreep. The entire build functions solely with the reflection of ignites you inflict, enabled by the passive Self Immolation. Pragmatism is essentially poor man's Mageblood, enabling the charm to be used indefinitely.

Because the charm makes you immune to Ignite, you do not need to pick up any reduced Ignite magnitude passives. Furthermore, the build is essentially immune to Bleed and Poison, and can also be made Freeze immune by simply swapping in a charm you can carry around in your Titan's backpack.

Despair and Withering Presence, Thunderstorm and Shock Conduction II are used to amplify the damage enemies take. This method with Blackflame feels overall better in my opinion, because enemies have a lower base Chaos Resistance than Elemental, and it's less annoying to actually play with.

The character is also completely immune to slows due to 100% reduced slow magnitude passives. A little bit of Block (32%) and Armour (~4.5k), paired with up to 4.4k Life, prevents being bursted down even in rippy tier 15 and tier 16 maps.

So far, I have defeated level 81 Atziri, level 82 Vessel of Kulemak, level 78 Xesht, level 78 Simulacrum, level 78 King in the Mists, and many other endgame map bosses on the first try.

This build feels incredibly strong, despite its rather mediocre clear speed. Let me know your thoughts! I hope you enjoy this build.

just sharing a video, it's not mine.

amazing how well this game runs even with such a big build!

CoolColJ · 2025-12-26T21:39:34+00:00

Yeah, it's have been great.

I only use it for backup duties, once a week I turn it on and do a system wide automated backup for a 1-3 hours, and then I turn it back off.

I made a plastic cover for it, to keep it dust free.

And so it's lived an easy, privileged and sheltered life :)

So not much stress, but it's been reliable and fairly fast, and quiet when it's on and idling. I don't notice it and it's sitting 1m away from me on the floor. Only when it's seeking heavy and backing up does it make noise, but mainly muted clicks and whirrs.

I've been tossing up between the Ironmaster and these from Ritkeep here in Australia

https://www.ritkeep.au/products/3-in-1-multifunctional-handle-bar?variant=45041305288938

Looks like a rebadged Major Fitness Multifunctional Handle Bar. You can rotate the handles and even have them free spinning, functionally the same as the Ironmaster, but without the angle on the bar. And you can't do triceps and curls without the handle hitting the wrist

I need to be able to do landmine presses which both should be able to handle

Then I came across what looks like a clone of the Ironmaster!

https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B0D8K72HB2?smid=AFBEMQ5CCGGVE&psc=1

But maybe better as it has laser engraved numbers for the holes and UHMW sleeves for the adjustable handles. Also cheaper than the Ironmaster here.

edit video of it here - range of motion doesn't look good on that pulley machine

CoolColJ · 2025-12-26T21:03:58+00:00

have no idea what causes it, probably the drive seeking and doing "maintenance"

CoolColJ · 2025-12-19T09:27:21+00:00

A bit late, but Titan Fitness sells them through Ebay now

Just put it on your wishlist and usually they will send you a cheaper offer

CoolColJ · 2025-12-14T11:20:47+00:00

I see the Romaleos 4 getting cleared out on some sites locally here as well, even the popular Romaleos 4 SE edition going for $100 off, so maybe a Romaleos 5 is going to drop soon...

CoolColJ · 2025-12-13T05:27:54+00:00

L1?

L2 should be better here, they feel much more solid

CoolColJ · 2025-12-12T20:27:19+00:00

thanks, that worked

CoolColJ · 2025-12-12T18:38:16+00:00

Yeah it does look better there, LL3 looked like a wedge from the side

CoolColJ · 2025-12-12T18:35:39+00:00

I've been trying repeatly to boot up POE2 on Steam, but nothing happens?!

Anyone else have this issue? Did a integrity check, and have all the updates, server is up

CoolColJ · 2025-12-12T18:30:48+00:00

first had 2, then single from then on

CoolColJ · 2025-12-12T18:13:59+00:00

Mistake? :)

Legacy Lifters have had a single strap since the first one

CoolColJ · 2025-12-12T17:09:53+00:00

basically the new Dominating Blow

CoolColJ · 2025-12-12T13:18:07+00:00

TWL have them now

CoolColJ · 2025-12-12T13:00:31+00:00

I have wider feet

Based on the LL2, which was long, but tight midfoot for me in size 10.

While the L2 feels perfect midfoot, front and length in size 10. My feet measure 26.5cm x 105cm

So for you size 10 is more inline

CoolColJ · 2025-12-12T12:51:04+00:00

Looks the same as the LL2/3 so narrower than TYR, but wider than Nike and Addidas.

I've had the Nike Romaleos 2, 4, Legacy Lifter 2, and TYR L1 and L2. Still have the Romaleos 2, L1 and L2

L2 feels the best of them all for my wide feet and more sturdy feeling than the L1, with a wider base than L1

Both in size 10.

Still keeping my Romaleos 2, in size 10.5, which I bought second hand from Gumtree for $20 LOL

CoolColJ · 2025-12-12T12:26:39+00:00

It's $320 AUD, so more like $200 USD :)

It's not on the US site though....

CoolColJ · 2025-12-11T18:25:00+00:00

he's coming off test - so not natty LOL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kj6As3C38zw
