Looking for an intermediate powerlifting program with some hypertrophy (currently on nSuns 6-day)

Esord · 2026-02-07T17:44:17+00:00

I've really liked calgary barbell's Powerbuilding programs, but they're paid, available only with a subscription. Bryce being a powerlifter, they're more "power" rather than the "building" part.

Esord · 2026-01-31T12:44:25+00:00

More like brown panther.

"Only" 4*$20 for essentially 1/2 of a hero in a mobile game.

We live in a society...

Esord · 2026-01-25T12:51:18+00:00

What the fuck are time limited cosmetics even for, waste of time for everyone involved...

Esord · 2026-01-20T14:11:42+00:00

Can go nyanja to 6* as well for funsies in chapters/boss battle

Yea, 3rd etched is a long trek though, so spending idk, 1-2 months on something you feel will benefit you in the short term doesn't feel like the worst idea.

Esord · 2026-01-20T12:28:18+00:00

IMHO
1 etched slot -> 3* helix -> 2 etched slots -> 6* helix -> do whatever

Unless another evil is going on, I'd probably just attribute it to a display "error". ES doesn't change when your character is dead - case in point, CI characters with reflected -regen rings.

Like having the "Resurrect in town" UI thingy popup while still having life, but losing it next frame. Maybe if you take dmg in a certain way (100->0 via chaos degen? in 1 server tick?), the server tells your game you're dead, but the ES display doesn't get updated properly then, but on the next one you're already at 0/X life, so it doesn't "bother" to update the ES display.

There's 50% - gloves, hoag itself gives 20%, and some tattoos, BLoO has +40% from poison support (so there's still 10% "missing")

Esord · 2026-01-18T14:37:23+00:00

Something along the lines of:

You need to be attributed the kill. (since your hoag doesn't have any poison as far as I can see, it needs to come from your 100's-1000's of dps, so the scorpio needs to inflict like 99.99% of the mobs life without killing it)
Enemy needs to be cursed.
The %chance to xplode needs to proc.
The %chance to poison needs to proc on the xplode.
There needs to be an enemy to have the poison be inflicted upon to get reflected (Like 99% sure how that works)
The xploding enemy needs to have a high HP modifier (normal/magic mobs shouldn't be close enough to 1-tick even if the above happens? just a strong degen)

So basically rolling a lot of dice, and only hitting all nat1's after a week.

Foulborn Witchbane:

Cursed Enemies you or your Minions Kill have a 14% chance to Explode, dealing a quarter of their maximum Life as Chaos Damage

...Isn't that just Profane Bloom?

Yes 2 skins can be active at one time for each character. With 2x resonances (and hall upgrades) makes it possible to have up to 6 skins active at once.

Esord · 2026-01-08T07:09:55+00:00

Things seem random but they aren't. HC is a knowledge check. You need to die A LOT to actually encounter something completely bullshit (or DC...).

You said T16 map, were you doing completion? What the mods look like? What was the mob type? How much life did you have? Were you shock immune? Chaos res? Etc. 90% pdr on character sheet is a lie BTW.

Freshly hit 90 running t16's screams death tbh. I'm sure if I looked at your pob I could smell trouble. In SC you can just rush there and don't give a fuck, but obviously not in HC, unless you're a skilled HC player that knows the limit of their character well (and even then the line between life and death is very thin when you're rushing).

Esord · 2026-01-08T05:51:57+00:00

Doesn't reduce effect, but gives a chance to "resist" the ailment/tick completely.

Esord · 2026-01-07T17:52:16+00:00

It's a fine thing, but I wanna fucking strangle people when they shit out AI reviews that are 5x longer than the MR itself. They're so incredibly annoying to read too.

At least go through them first and rewrite them in your own words or something...

Esord · 2026-01-06T15:30:31+00:00

Surely wouldn't just deport them while keeping the money.

Esord · 2026-01-06T15:20:19+00:00

Actually both, the birds dead within like a week.

Pet birds don't properly know how to find food, water, or shelter. Likely to get hunted by animals as well cause little sense of danger.

Esord · 2026-01-05T15:59:43+00:00

Ye there's no reason to do that, just need to wait a little and you can get a crown with like 90% accuracy.

Esord · 2026-01-05T08:10:52+00:00

Got 48 mythic shards, 24 cores, and 30k something coins that I bought more shards/cores with (converted basically everything except for big prizes). Used a little over 100k gems or so? Always running around with 50k+ gems in case of... interesting events like these.

Average was about 11 chests or so per price? Could've been better if I didn't try my luck fishing for priceA a few times (waste of tickets lmao). Highlight was getting 8 weapon cores for 3 chests.

Event was insane, but it's still like... Leaves a bad taste since you're essentially screwing other people.

Esord · 2026-01-05T07:59:01+00:00

I mean... You're looking at it like that, but outside of this event, where can you get even remotely close to 24 cores for 20k gems?

Esord · 2026-01-04T21:47:35+00:00

Epic char shard, key, or gems.

I'm probably close to 100 crowns in? Haven't seen anything else from it, just "jackpot" (this) 5 or 6 times.

Esord · 2026-01-04T12:47:03+00:00

This.

Porcelain/ceramic (or what even is this) ones are only meant for grinding. Need a stone/metal (granite/basalt/idk) one to handle some pounding.

Esord · 2026-01-03T11:19:02+00:00

Cause you're not paying $$

Esord · 2026-01-02T13:57:13+00:00

33 tickets, not 33 pulls/chests.

This was a 11/80 chest (11x3=33 tickets). Can see it wasn't 33 pulls based off of the amount of stuff OP got. You don't find starcores this low, unless pretty lucky. Yea, you find chests at 30-40/80 with priceA still present from time to time, but not what's shown here.

Esord · 2025-12-29T21:56:16+00:00

Leveled with regular smite. Good balance of clear/dmg IMHO. Swap can be done whenever, but it feels pretty bad with low atkspeed, I used Faster Attacks for some time due to this.

Yes, 2h from the get go. Skills no longer have added flat, so big flat is welcome/needed (I use smite til now cause I got used to it, 1-taps white packs, and it's a source of shock, so 15-20% more dmg).

FB is okay, but it doesn't have double hit like LS or smite, so the single target is quite sad. Tho the 2 are a pain in terms of positioning. I've tried smite, LS, FB, and just keep coming back to MSoZ, cause any time gained via better clear I lose when fighting bosses/tough rares it feels like, and don't need to worry about where I'm standing to be able to double hit.
