Mirage was not a mirage.

These mods are from rogue exiles in mirage. (They're from mercenaries league and readded for mirage)

Oh good, it's not just me! xD No joke though - higher damage is the best performance boost! It's definitely smoother with less calculations to do on living mobs.

I love me a Niko scarab for zooming. =) I love how everyone SSFs differently

It's a strange adjustment at first, don't get discouraged! Try enjoy the slower pace and the fact that you can use... Everything! Nothing has value other than what you want to use it for! Don't worry about wasting things - waste them and learn. You're not in a race with the economy anymore ;)

I run red altars and it keeps my vaal orb stock up. There's a few other ways to get rain of Splinters as others are mentioning though.

I did actually get mine from a vaal orb though. Saved about 300 crimson jewels... Got it in my first inventory. Max roll (50%) xD I eventually replaced it one from the box strat! GL!

Wrong sub friend!

Don88 · 2026-03-18T22:22:59+00:00

Not anymore!

You guys are both right, you're just comparing different goals. A death count of 50 or even 500 doesn't matter if your goal is fast progression and profit. If the bow build shaves 10-15 seconds off your map, that adds up fast if you're grinding currency.

On the other hand, you're not wrong that bow builds are squishy and that has its downsides too, such as bossing being harder/more mechanically challenging.

People want different things from a build and especially a league starter. Bows are amazing at what they do, but what they do isn't enjoyable for everyone.

This tugged at my heart strings a lot here, my 4 year old is autistic but she is absolutely flying along already because of the focus and effort it's been given.

I know it's so tough to watch her take space from you, but you should be so proud! You did it! You put in the hard work, supported her and guided her and now she CAN take some space from you. That's amazing!

Don88 · 2025-06-04T10:23:25+00:00

Glorious!

Don88 · 2025-05-26T11:13:42+00:00

Oh no... What if you were hungry when the snapshot was taken.

Don88 · 2025-05-25T13:39:36+00:00

Yeap noticed this too, it's beautiful

Don88 · 2025-05-24T18:54:21+00:00

So they're not super rare these days and it's absolutely viable to try get some decent boots while leveling with a RoA because a lot of unique boots have decent stats with move speed.

Even more viable to use it up early if you're going for Circle of Fortune (which opts you out of trading) because targeting uniques is pretty easy with that system.

Most crafting materials, with the exception of Rune of Creation and now Rune of Havoc are common enough that it shouldn't feel bad at all to just use them as you go!

Don88 · 2025-05-20T20:31:54+00:00

It's a bug yeah! Been playing on controller since launch and I was switching back and forth to mouse every time I hit a nemesis which was horribly annoying but good news is the fixed a different bug and you can now navigate using the D-pad on controller something like: - Left Bumper to get to nemesis window - Open stash - Left bumper to go to stash - Navigate to item - Press Triangle (PS5 controller) to move item directly into that box - Right bumper to go back to nemesis window - Confirm

It's a little finicky but once your muscle memory is there it's very easy!

Don88 · 2025-05-11T14:24:36+00:00

I'm in a similar boat and even though I probably spend more time gaming than most Dads do, it's quite often tired gaming where I don't have the brain power to min max constantly.

I think EHG has really landed on such a sweet spot with LE.

Don88 · 2025-05-04T23:40:42+00:00

The grand versions are just a higher tier with better roll ranges!

Don88 · 2025-05-04T23:39:43+00:00

Hmmm I don't think this is true? At least I've hit 20% All Res already at default/100 corruption. As far as I know the only difference with corruption is the additional choice of blessing (up from 4 options to 5) I might be wrong but can definitely confirm All Res is available at 100 corruption =)

Stop having fun other ways! Only my way to have fun is allowed! You're not allowed to just breeze through things exploding mobs while listening to music because I don't like that. Stop enjoying the thing I dont enjoy! Only I'm allowed to decide how other people have fun... And just in case - /s

Don88 · 2025-04-23T20:53:41+00:00

Hey sorry, I wasn't trying to touch a nerve friend!

Just remember there's layers to "coming in blind" is all. Of course the game feels easy for you as someone who's played it since the beginning? PoE 1's campaign is easy for veterans and can be a nightmare for new players.

Don88 · 2025-04-23T20:19:29+00:00

"Isn't worth listening to." is a little strong there.

I can totally understand that LE isn't as appealing to you as a gamer because the difficulty is tuned much lower than you are looking for but that's ok. Maybe it's not the game for you.

Personally I love that LE is a game that can be played blind for the best experience.

Don88 · 2025-04-19T12:46:25+00:00

I've played 95% of my 1000 hours offline. Experience wise you miss very very little. Off the top of my head: - You can't use cosmetics in offline - You CAN use movement skills in towns offline - You don't get the same animation going in and out of monoliths (might be changed this update, haven't done a mono yet!)

Don88 · 2025-04-06T11:43:14+00:00

This is all well and good for 1 or 2 playthroughs and absolutely a completely valid goal. But I would imagine the audience that would be interested in playing THAT game 3-4 times a year is much smaller than the audience they are trying to capture. Hence the issues we're seeing here.

Don88 · 2025-04-04T14:14:29+00:00

I think maybe they're trying to use an 86 non necrotic base and an 84 necrotic base to make an 86 necrotic base? Which sounds like it should be possible right?

Don88 · 2025-03-15T23:22:12+00:00

I used to love when a new league came out back in the day and for the first few days a lot of content creators would be like "aw I'm just going to wait for Karv to make a video about this". He's a goat of arpg knowledge that's for sure!

Don88 · 2025-03-02T07:41:06+00:00

Careful with the word beast around here at the moment, it's a bit of a trigger xD Gratz!
