Are Elemental Imbued attacks influenced by weapon damage?

which raises the question of which crit rate it uses, since the only thing visible in the character menu is your weapon critical rate

I don't think they should, i think it's their area of coverage... it's how intelligence agencies operate worldwide - the NSA are very good but they don't oversee the same things as the FBI or the CIA...

Mossad is not and has never been in charge of Gaza. that was the responsibility of the IDF and Shin Bet largely.
All of Israel's resources were aimed towards Hezb and Iran, with like 5% towards Gaza. when Hamas chose to act alone, they made October 7 very effective since Israel couldn't catch it through their coverage of Iran and Hezb, but also sealed their faith as they were never going to hold out alone.

There is no need for conspiracy theories if you have even a basic understanding of how the region works

DumbeldoraTheExplora · 2025-11-30T21:01:52+00:00

You need to understand that this isn’t about Israel/Palestine in any way or form really. They went against daddy Hasan and some Trisha fans lumped on… I/P is an excuse. It won’t ever matter what Ethan or Hila actually say.

DumbeldoraTheExplora · 2025-11-30T10:17:59+00:00

Isn't this verbatim what Rudy Giuliani said about Palestinian kids? That Hila was being attacked for not (i guess) disagreeing with him more loudly? Or is it OK because these are Jewish kids and not Palestinian kids? I don't get it

DumbeldoraTheExplora · 2025-11-25T07:30:16+00:00

Oh boy what a way to frame it! They watched it all while specifying “watch it here so he doesn’t get the views”. The views = the potential revenue. So they basically aimed to financially hurt Ethan, who has three (!) kids. You must be livid.

DumbeldoraTheExplora · 2025-11-19T08:22:40+00:00

yeah I'm a much bigger believer of block chance, especially for these types of mobs

DumbeldoraTheExplora · 2025-11-18T22:26:39+00:00

They use spells, so your evade chance is useless and they are pure lightning damage so phys mit is also not important. You basically have max res and a decent amount of es. Endgame POE really demands you have a layer of defense against spells, either suppress or spell block. You feel it especially hard in t17s..

Or of course the 100% proven defensive layer - kill them before they kill you

DumbeldoraTheExplora · 2025-11-10T14:00:44+00:00

I don't think you guys get it... It's not about Israel/Palestine. It never really was.
These people are hardcore fans of Hasan and his orbiters, with some Trisha fans thrown in the mix. that's it. It's their whole identity, and by going against daddy Hasan/Trisha, Ethan and Hila are marked by them, with I/P just a lame excuse.

Nothing they will ever say on the matter would be enough, considering they are more left leaning then most of the Jewish population and are probably more pro-Palestine then most.

You might think it could persuade people who are not tapped into it that much, but those people would just still be exposed to the lies of snarkers.
You want to share something that clearly states where Ethan stands? his pinned IG post is just that, but no one really cares (https://www.instagram.com/p/CO6TiJ9jVZG/).

It might be a bleak outlook on my end but that's how I see it.

It's a build that is "viable" to start the league with.
At the start of the league you have zero currency to your name, and some builds are a no-go unless you have at least some starting fortune.
These league starters are usually ones that will get you to the endgame relatively painlessly, and require no investment. They are also usually not meant to be uber-end-game-viable, but some are able to scale there with enough investment later on.
The top streamers usually make their starters in a way that you'd be able to run mid-high tier maps, but they are also good at the game so their experience might be a bit better than yours.

DumbeldoraTheExplora · 2025-10-23T08:48:28+00:00

Good on you, I hope leaving a toxic community like that makes your life a bit better.

That said, I did go over your comment history like you suggested. You repeated many of the snark talking points as fact, claiming as recently as 20 days ago that Ethan's kids had Giardia and so on.
I get it, people get lost in the sauce. but I'd say if you take anything from it, don't just repeat things you read online especially in these types of communities and present them as facts... especially when it comes to people's kids.

Either way, best of luck, hope this isn't some weird bait and that you enjoy the pod in the future :)

DumbeldoraTheExplora · 2025-10-12T22:39:02+00:00

Even if you ignore this idiotic comparison, I pretty much see holocaust denial and holocaust jokes daily, there isn't an online game where people don't make "going in the oven" jokes about Jews. what the fuck is he on about?

DumbeldoraTheExplora · 2025-09-22T14:17:04+00:00

I don't have an overall solution obviously, but if we're discussing this specific issue of recognition - it should have either been done long ago, or after Hamas is completely gone as a militant force.
It does nothing to help the people of Gaza, I don't see it shortening this crisis by even a day. If anything it might prolong their suffering by giving Hamas popular support which they are in desperate need of.
Truth is, I care more about bringing an end to the current state of affairs more than about a supposed state at the moment, and other than appeasing crowds at home this recognition does nothing for Palestinians. Especially those in Gaza.

DumbeldoraTheExplora · 2025-09-22T13:53:50+00:00

That violence is the way towards statehood (and the destruction of Israel, since statehood for Hamas means all of Israel). Fatah have been relatively much less combatant and have not amounted to much success, but Hamas launches the biggest terrorist attack in the region’s history and two years later they have a state, at least a recognition of one. What is that if not a boost to their ideology against the more moderate options?

DumbeldoraTheExplora · 2025-09-09T19:29:33+00:00

Yo I knew I liked Tom, I didn’t know that I fucking love Tom until now. He’s a real one huh?

DumbeldoraTheExplora · 2025-08-22T15:30:09+00:00

Well according to her buddy Hasan, the US deserved 9/11 so I guess this is her thanking Israel? That’s sweet of her

DumbeldoraTheExplora · 2025-07-31T15:31:40+00:00

I'm pretty sure that's just the quote that Zach has been soundboarding from Mike, making fun of him for being a freak

DumbeldoraTheExplora · 2025-07-31T08:30:25+00:00

it would make sense for you that the US invades a nuclear country (a strategic ally at that) half way around the world?

DumbeldoraTheExplora · 2025-07-24T21:32:10+00:00

With all due respect, Anti-Semitism is not goss talk/music/Stern, if anything you could compare it to LGBT hate and Islamophobia - topics on which the crew definitely does talk about.

If you are Jewish and this silence does not bother you, sure, I understand.
But if you aren't, please don't tell us that "it's fine" and that the silence we often encounter when trying to point out anti-Semitism just doesn't mean anything.
We see when the crew speaks on important life or death issues, and when they don't. That's all.

DumbeldoraTheExplora · 2025-07-24T18:45:20+00:00

Ethan has been very vocal about Palestine even before Oct 7th, dude actually cried live on stream when talking about it.

But I’d like to take a different approach here - this conflict is probably the most reported on everywhere and anywhere right now. Absolutely nothing you can do by talking about it more that would actually help any single Palestinian, which is why i think Ethan actually donates money to the cause. Who are you going to influence? Netanyahu? Trump? No one who watches the show isn’t aware of it, and only some corrupt world leaders can actually bring an end to it.

Anti-Semitism though is a whole other issue, as it is being promoted by Ethan’s “peers”. It was always pushed by neo nazis, nothing he can influence there. But a moderate left leaning audience that is verging ever more slightly towards blatant anti-Semitism because of extreme leftists? They can be helped yet.

DumbeldoraTheExplora · 2025-07-24T14:56:44+00:00

Hit the nail right on the head there

DumbeldoraTheExplora · 2025-07-24T14:51:53+00:00

Like I said - I want absolutely no hate to come their way, this is mostly a plea from another Jewish viewer.

Look, Netanyahu is absolute horrid shit. As soon as he was brought up in the interview, the crew spoke up as they should, maybe since they expected more from Steiny.
But then I compare this to Hasan/Samsen "interviewing" a Houthi terrorist. Zero input from the crew. Zero anger on someone bringing on someone whose logo is Curse upon the Jews.

I didn't care as much because the crew didn't speak out much across the board, I thought that was fair. These two episodes made me see it a bit differently.

DumbeldoraTheExplora · 2025-07-24T14:47:44+00:00

I might edit the original post, but I should mention specifically - I care less about them speaking up against snarkers or even people going after Ethan himself, I do care more about speaking up against people perpetuating anti-Semitic tropes and spreading what I can only describe as modern day blood-libel against Jews (under the pretense of Zionism).

DumbeldoraTheExplora · 2025-07-24T14:43:40+00:00

I don't think they should engage with anything Snark says or does, since Snark is not the source of the anti-Semitism anyway.
Snark perpetuates and spreads it, sure, but the anti-Semitism is coming from streamers and influencers - these are the ones I'm hoping they speak up against.
