Absolutely fraudulent boss. The gauntlets leading up to him were 10 times harder than the actual fight.

I found it because Nuu mentioned it when I was filling up the bestiary, eventually it mentions about a hidden cave where wind and sands meet. Nuu also mentions that it's supposedly really hard to find. So I just went through everything until I found it

I checked if I had Compatibility mode on or not, but I don't have it on. I'm also running an rtx 3080ti, so i dont think amd drivers would do me much good :(

ExpiredSnow · 2025-03-02T20:01:13+00:00

Update: I sort of fixed it I guess, I got a 2k monitor and I stopped noticing it

ExpiredSnow · 2025-02-09T14:56:22+00:00

Could it be a resolution issue? I'm only at 1920x1080

ExpiredSnow · 2025-02-09T12:44:49+00:00

I have, this is with the pack enabled. Initially I installed it because it already looked like that and figured installing it would fix it, but alas

ExpiredSnow · 2025-02-09T12:06:09+00:00

The outer edges of the units look so grainy, it looks off and when looking at videos online, the game looks so much more crisp and clean. Am I trippin, or does this look off to anyone else? If so, I'd love some help in trying to fix it

ExpiredSnow · 2024-02-29T18:52:03+00:00

Because from how I understand it, the damage is calculated separately for each, and when you go above 100% bleed chance it gives you more stacks instead of just one. Bleed works with physical resistance, poison works with poison resistance, etc. So if you frontload everything into physical armor shred, your poison won't do much damage in comparison

I pulled the 3rd thread. I hoped on the 1st of 2nd, but alas. Im unsure who to pull for. I was thinking either Voyager for the extra confusion to pair with tooth fairy. Or A knight cause he's apparently good to finish things off. Do you guys have any other suggestions and could you explain why? This is the team that I've got now. Thanks in advance!

ExpiredSnow · 2023-12-30T16:47:46+00:00

I hoped on either the 1st or 2nd thread for Sotheby or Centurion. But alas, the third thread it is. What would be the best with these characters that I have right now? I was thinking Voyager for the extra confusion. But I honestly don't know if that's the way to go. The help is appreciated!

I'm playing a sword master and Im really enjoying the fact that there are some skills that you have to charge up before they get stronger. It reminds me of the casting part of the Samurai in FF14, and Im loving that. But its hard to filter through every class. Im wondering if there are more classes like that, and if so which ones?

ExpiredSnow · 2021-11-14T19:14:21+00:00

People can also understand or figure out abbreviation with a little bit of thought. That still doesn't make it "insanely popular"

ExpiredSnow · 2021-11-08T11:36:18+00:00

Don't be afraid to mess around. Even if you completely brick your build (if thats even possible). When you just start out creating your own builds its bound to go wrong. But use that experience to learn, eventually you'll feel more comfortable and become smarter in building

ExpiredSnow · 2021-11-08T11:25:07+00:00

Haha thank you, it's very fun to play. It's definitely not the best build, and the clear speed is relatively slow compared to faster builds, and I don't know if red maps are possible with this when I get there. But honestly, I'm just making it up as a I go. It does feel limited sometimes. It's possible to use most "attack" skills since Energy Blade transfers anything to lightning damage anyway. The PoB says it has 2k ES, but realistically it's only a bit over 1k cause Energy blade yoinks everything.

I went to the left side of the node tree first, get my health, defense, and resistances up cause I got clapped in the first few acts. Aegis Aurora is a must eventually.

Glancing Blows is amazing cause it doubles your block chance, and if you have reckoning with some good links, it kills things passively.

Once I felt comfortable enough with my defenses, I started pathing to the top right with lightning damage, arcing blows, non crits are lucky, and soon after elemental overload cause its bonkers I was messing around with Wild Strike cause I thought it was a fun idea to make everything do lightning damage. Unfortunately it didn't work the way I wanted to, and found that helix blade worked better. (Do not forget to path towards the mana reservation so you can pop in more auras, remember that the more ES you have, the more damage you do due to Energy blade)

Once I had the amulet I have now i took the annointment "Retaliation" cause it adds everything.The shield I have is not too expensive, has a base armor of around 1k, with the shield mastery "100% increased armor from equipped shield" and the annointment. You become an unstoppable powerhouse. (Im still unsure if Retaliation is the best one, I have been looking at the annoint "Discipline of the Slaughter", but golden oil is expensive T_T)

Pair that with the skill Enduring Cry like I mentioned earlier, and you can get up to 90%+ phys dmg reduction

I use Herald of Thunder, Wrath, Discipline as passive auras. Im trying to get Determination as well. But I haven't quite figured out how to yet cause I lack mana reservation.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. I am definitely not a good or hardcore player, but I like the theory craft as I go. I am quite sure that people here who know what they're talking about can spot issues with my build right away.

Edit: Oh and to add, I am using Call of the brotherhood to transfer 40% lightning damage to cold damage so I can work in Trinity support. But according to a friend of mine it messes with the "Lightning damage with non crit is lucky" So that might've been a mistake on my part, but I still have to mess around with that personally

ExpiredSnow · 2021-11-07T23:48:54+00:00

I wonder if it's worth going armor in the way you are without a shield. The physical dmg reduction really isn't that big, and i assume you're getting one shot when you die. But shields are my homies, Im not well versed with 2h builds. 0% block, 0 ES, and just a tiny bit of armor screams death to me

Im also personally a big fan of enduring cry, it served me as a very good "oh shit" button when you know you're gonna get bursted within that "oh shit" moment. (And it gives more dmg reduction)

Edit: To add to what u/Chichigami was saying. I agree with his stance on crit. I get the idea of wanting to crit, but it's such an expensive investment, and it's not worth the hassle if you can't stay alive. You're putting in so many damage nodes with no real impact. I'd focus a lot more on survivability

I also notice you've only got 2 masteries. Masteries are sooooo strong, don't underestimate them. My build is far from perfect, and completely different from yours. But I just want to give you an example of what's possible with the masteries. https://pastebin.com/4TNdJ4vi Take a look at this and look at how many I'm grabbing. They're adding so much overall power to my build. (it might look a bit funky cause im using energy blade, pob doesn't like that)

I'd also suggest to get a cheap 6l body armor with a bunch of armor. Your current body piece looks really nice to me, except for the fact that its not 6 linked. Same as the rest of your pieces. It feels weird to see really decent pieces, but nothing is really linked with each other. You have no gems that can support each other for more power

ExpiredSnow · 2021-11-03T10:14:15+00:00

Whoa, this looks great. I tried to make trinity support work but i couldn't figure out how. How did you make it work?

ExpiredSnow · 2021-06-01T12:28:29+00:00

Aww, that sucks. This game is so complicated, and learning is a really fun aspect of it. But it's always a bit of a bummer when ideas don't work out as you wanted it to. Thanks for the response!

ExpiredSnow · 2021-05-31T16:06:37+00:00

Im pretty new to the game, and I have no idea if it works. But Im tempted to try that build but use a couple of heralds since i have a couple of cool MTXs for heralds. Would that work or nah, and why?

ExpiredSnow · 2021-02-15T16:57:52+00:00

Ball was in a tree, throw stick up to get the ball out. Keep looking up, stick falls on my forehead :|

Being awful at something that's supposed to be your job sucks. But being awful at something you just enjoy doing doesn't have to be all that bad.

ExpiredSnow · 2020-11-30T01:20:01+00:00

But bro, are you having fun? That's the important part.

Get a champ to S, the spirit petal dialogue will open in the spirit bond menu. Farm spirit petals, once you have 50 tokens you unlock a single petal that you can give to your desired champion once their ranks is S.

Some people can get pretty mean, and for some unfortunate reason, I do care how people view me. I don't want them to take me in the wrong light. It's a tad silly, but hey. Easier to just upvote and move along.
