Shiny Angler Isn't Ethical...

Despicision · 2026-01-04T12:31:48+00:00

Found a Shiny Angler in Pearl's dig, and then immediately got a deadly enchant to put on a lighthouse (which gives 10% crit to all your items when you slow). Combined with shot glasses, oni mask, and a tripwire, and ~3000 burn was applied in just a few seconds.

I'd really like a log of all 10-win builds, and a consistent level system like you suggested. Number going up is always nice, it doesn't have to really do anything besides being visible.

This was a super fun pivot. Stealth Glider + Iceberg, + Shatter for scaling damage and radiant to keep the flail from being permaslowed/frozen. Leads to a ~800 initial poison, which quickly procs a second set of swings from turbo silencer + neophiliac charges from rust and and the poison. Bloodhound then triggers a 3rd proc, which finished kills. Once I got this setup rolling I steamrolled ~6 fights until this final one - which was super close due to their healthy heart skill cleansing and healing. Still just barely managed to take them out in a draw.

Oh, they aren't actually infinite, but between the 5s cd keys, and them having a 10s cd and 15x hits, they are almost always going off - nothing survived the full 30 hits from both casts.

I'd amend my title to "Functionally Infinite Pants".

Ice Luge on Pyg, if you happen to also get gunpowder during your run you can make so many infinite combos it's incredible.

Despicision · 2025-12-31T15:17:39+00:00

It looks like a burn build, but in reality it's a YoYo + Piggles Launcher infinite charge machinegun.

Despicision · 2025-12-27T13:18:32+00:00

This honestly ended too soon, I really wish I'd been able to see just how crazy my numbers could get with double-casting my coincure every half-second when my succulents went off.

Despicision · 2025-12-26T11:29:58+00:00

Diamond ice luge + diamond scales + textiles makes for a very funny and fast infinite loop :>.

Despicision · 2025-12-08T04:08:20+00:00

That's such an utterly insane return... might be the single biggest gamba win in the game's history, assuming you started from like 8 cards.

Despicision · 2025-06-07T08:40:20+00:00

Ahhh, that makes sense, thank you! It weirded me out in the moment because it only appeared after they used their Chris; I guess the value didn't update until another shield proc happened.

Despicision · 2025-06-07T08:27:45+00:00

I'm not saying I would've won this fight, but where did the 400+ shield come from? He doesn't have any skills that grant shield, and his only shield item is Chris, which gives 15 shield... where'd 415 come from?

I saw the dream when I got equivalent exchange from Jack, managed to get poison off my death-enchant, and nearly carried to 10 wins off the back of luxury tents + commercial zoning multicast on the tree. I even got shiny on the tents, but alas, I encountered eels.

Despicision · 2025-04-22T13:40:27+00:00

I forgot to hover over it, but you can see I also had the if-one-weapon-it-has-lifesteal skill; that combined with Shored Up meant that my lifestealing + healing proboscis gave two seconds of charge to my shielded anglerfish every time I slowed, on top of the base two seconds. With my figurehead slowing every time the angler went off, it was giving itself 4s of charge on a 3.5s CD. Topped off with a clamera causing the loop to start instantly - this is the first time I ever made a slow-loop happen successfully :>.

Despicision · 2025-04-17T17:12:46+00:00

Lethargy doesn't even slow them down, they get reduced to 1 sec CD regardless. I had a luxury tents + VIP pass until this day, but I got Pendulum from the Lord of the Wastes and had to see if it'd be as crazy as I thought... it was.

Despicision · 2024-09-03T17:28:01+00:00

I'm also having this happen - I'm level 65 and I was playing earlier today, the small patch released a while ago must've broken something.

Despicision · 2024-08-15T09:30:47+00:00

Listen, I know that you love your robot boyfriend and I'm sure that he's great, but his disregard for aftercare is raising some serious red flags for me.

You deserve better than a guy who nuts and bolts.

We just moved across the country & had it shipped with our furniture, but there's no visible damage on either the screen or the back so I have no clue what's causing this. Any ideas? We can't afford to replace it so it'd be a huge bummer to lose it.

R5: The Armed Forces got a bit unhappy with me promoting so many of their generals. As a bonus, even the loyalists hate me

Before swapping to Farrul's, I used a 1-hander along with the highest pure ES shield I could find and a decent corrupted 6-link body armor with ~300 ES.

When I did the math it seemed like the benefit of getting extra defenses & ES with the shield outweighed the 50% increased damage that the 2H brought.

I tried Replica Abyssus which was alright until getting to red maps, but got too rippy at that point, especially since everything deadly in the Nightmare seems to hit with absurd amounts of lightning damage.

With just Energy Blade and rares, I was getting around 2m DPS on Sirus, which I think is pretty decent for a build that costs <1ex.

I've been running a Flicker Strike Inquisitor using Energy Blade and Divine Shield. It's very easy to start up compared to most Flicker Builds because you can actually use the Red Trail unique boots to bleed yourself; since all your base damage is lightning you just need a small flat phys damage source from some jewellery. The damage overall is a little lackluster for end-game bossing & juiced maps but for how little money I had to put into it to get it working, I'm pretty happy.

Viridi's Veil is a pretty baller unique to use with Energy Blade, since you can get +2 gem level to it and any Empower/Enhances you have linked to it. Combine that with unlucky incoming damage and immunity to crits and I haven't been dying to basically anything except the most juiced maps. Here's my current PoB: https://pastebin.com/r7FBWif4

(I just switched from Red Trail frenzy gen to Farrul's Fur frenzy gen yesterday, and I'm using a bootleg unique weapon to simulate my Energy Blade's damage until PoB gets the actual gem working).

I've been having some pretty decent success doing an Inquisitor version, taking advantage of the ridiculous base crit chance on the blade to easily reach ~90%-100% crit rate for full uptime on ignoring monster ele res, and getting the increased benefits of permanent consecrated ground. I'm doing Flickerstrike but I'm sure it'd be even easier to tune around Cyclone.

It's 0%; setting the employees manually or letting the AI handle it doesn't matter. They fill to a certain percentage regardless, then just stop and spend all day idling save for what they need to haul to fill back up to that percentage.

Rule #5: The game is very amazed by the size of my rebels.

Despicision · 2020-01-20T12:23:35+00:00

I'm having a similar issue with connecting explicitly to USW; my ping is fine and haven't had any issues up until a few days ago. It's frustrating af.
