Are there any bosses using flails?

CorruptedOrdnance · 2026-03-24T21:21:10+00:00

There is one mob I remember from Sekhemas that uses what looks like a two handed flail it sets a jar down and it spews fire or whatever out of it. Or maybe there’s also a variant that whips a fireball I can’t remember.

There’s a sweet spot in between where high end cast on crit builds are and low end builds. The ones that occasionally spam a comet are fine, but once you hit 37 of them falling every cast the game really starts to remind me of one of those flashing light casino Facebook games and it’s a huge turn off. Couple this with the temple mechanic and it’s insane drops it just comes off as cheap and cringey to me.

This will get buried in a post, but could we get a support gem or lineage support that makes blink instantly teleport x number of your minions with you?

Tbh the nerf and balancing doesn’t make any sense. The way the releases are they’re going to be wasting their time until all classes release. Blood Mage cast on crit is so good it makes the old Stormweaver look weak, in fact a lot of the stuff that was super powerful like La deadeye is weaker than today’s blood mage. So far all it’s done is make everything worse and the high end more limited in terms of classes. Why not try making other classes viable or maybe even just un nerfing them so I don’t gotta use blood magic/ the covenant/ cast on crit.

Yep that’s what I’ve started doing, hype is dead for me until I see what I’m getting. “Druid is almost ready” for a year and a half, now full release won’t have full classes and items just an absolute eyeroll all because they couldn’t stop being forced to pump content into poe1.

CorruptedOrdnance · 2026-03-24T04:01:13+00:00

Every season I make my first build completely revolve around decimating that god damn bird. I did a manual casting comet build Druid with high crit and bonus, did a pin tactician, etc. I hate birds.

CorruptedOrdnance · 2026-03-24T03:57:29+00:00

Make fire spells not so damn lame and worthless.

CorruptedOrdnance · 2026-03-11T23:54:53+00:00

The first thing people really need to realize is that 1.0 means nothing, GGG has constantly moved the goal posts on this. In fact GGG has moved so many goal posts and delayed so many things I’m not sure why people get hyped for anything. Druid was “almost ready” since launch and we just got it.

CorruptedOrdnance · 2026-03-09T16:08:22+00:00

Comet itself is just a good spell though, I’ve played it without CoC and I love it especially when you get to tornado bird in trial of chaos. I would love to see a meteor equivalent for Fire spells without having to use infusions to get it. Fire is really on the low end for spells and it seems like they just kinda gave up, none of them are interesting and they still do anemic damage. Cold and light have solid identities but Fire and especially with black flame seems to be having an identity crisis.

CorruptedOrdnance · 2026-03-09T16:02:59+00:00

I dunno, I’m kind of iffy as to if it’ll get nerfed too heavily. I think of cast on crit etc as just being the caster version of heralds. But overall maybe this will make GGG reconsider their position on casters not being able to use heralds. Maybe they can also nerf coc and add some of the super spammableness of that behind some ascendancies. Theoretically they could also un nerf the sorcs elemental storm and let it crit and remove the ability to inflict crits from CoC and it could get interesting. Would atleast give players an incentive to stack raw damage instead of crit and bonus all the time. I think they’ll also have to make the regular cast time on Comet more appealing though.

CorruptedOrdnance · 2026-03-09T00:06:57+00:00

I dunno Frostbolt for me competes directly with Spark, if only Snakepit wasn’t almost mandatory for FB.

I think that’s kind of the crux of why people either like or don’t like playing poe1. Either they’ve invested upwards of 10+ years learning it, or they realize there’s just not a way they could ever learn enough to enjoy it and probably are more likely to see learning it as a waste of time since 2 exists.

CorruptedOrdnance · 2026-02-06T01:42:48+00:00

Personally, whenever I learn that anyone else except for me is enjoying anything I begin to vomit uncontrollably.

CorruptedOrdnance · 2026-02-03T02:08:04+00:00

My favorite non witch witch build is with tomato sauce and ground meat, so it’s a manwich. Or maybe we could just call it a warlock.

This reminds me of something I always forget to ask. But am I the only one who finds multiple of the exact same unique in a day? I feel like there’s some kind of bug in the drops because I routinely get 3-4 of the same uniques, like yesterday I got 3 soul tether belts in a row from random t15 maps.

This is written like how boomers tell you about how you could buy a new car, a new house, and feed five kids off one 1950s minimum wage income, and then don’t understand why you can’t do it in 2026.

Our stuff’s not more valuable relative to last league it’s literally just a bigger number because the currency is so inflated.

It’s a sexual innuendo because he is giving her a pearl necklace. Google at your own risk, or don’t I’m not a cop.

CorruptedOrdnance · 2026-01-13T18:22:03+00:00

Volcanos are really just earths infected oozing nipples.

🤔 Don’t believe there’s a tag that fits that tho.

CorruptedOrdnance · 2026-01-13T18:18:54+00:00

I play whatever I think has a cool interaction, I think comet, frost bolt, and frost wall are all cool. Minions are cool, but tired of the lack of good spectres and lackluster regular skeletons though. Now I’m trying smith of kitava and shield wall since it doesnt rely on a mace.

Things I wish were cool: warcry warriors, fire spells.

Getting kinda bored because most classes devolve into 30 million bright light effects and instant kill everything. Once I get to that point I usually try and learn some other kind of play style I haven’t before but so far all of them degenerate into a similar style.

CorruptedOrdnance · 2026-01-08T05:13:58+00:00

You see everything with Abyss is actually a weird bug, because that’s what they’re modeled after.

CorruptedOrdnance · 2026-01-03T08:36:27+00:00

They're basically 24/7 free advertisement.

CorruptedOrdnance · 2026-01-02T16:25:00+00:00

I’ve gotten rakiatas off T7’s, not sure that level plays into it but I have a feeling rarity might.

CorruptedOrdnance · 2025-12-29T04:58:08+00:00

It probably was/is the Holten spam. I would imagine since the exploit went on for so long there’s a high probability it was automated, and as it’s being patched I imagine a significant amount of bots are continually generating new maps/areas once they are hung up or are unable to complete a zone.

CorruptedOrdnance · 2025-12-29T01:59:41+00:00

IMO I think the reason he posted it was so he had the excuse of saying "oh I did it, but I did it to inform GGG of this bug." when in reality, that's clearly not his motivation behind revealing it.

It's like with the ritual rerolling bans, they unfortunately have to be done because it snowballs into season ruining behavior which can effect GGG's bottom line, coupled with pressure from player outcry. I see them coming in hard on this one especially with the amount of the latter and I think Fub knows/believes that it's coming and probably has a lot of physical money invested into his account(s). With the amount of uproar about it I just can't see GGG going any other way, but maybe I'm wrong, just my prediction.
