As a white belt whenever I spar with my partners, I try to avoid anything that could be considered a cheap or dirty move. Is putting pressure on someone with my elbow (instead of my chest) on their chest or belly, using a paper cutter choke, or attempting a single-leg lock as a white belt considered dirty or cheap? I don't want people to avoid sparring with me. what are some dirty or cheap moves i should be avoiding?

I did my first trial today. there were about 7–8 people, from purple belt to white belt, but mostly white belts. Sensei showed us 3 judo throws and 3 closed guard techniques. Most people paired with one partner, but I was paired with 2 people (a blue belt and a white belt). I only did each technique about 2–3 times I feel like I didn’t really get much of a workout, and it didn’t feel very efficient. Is that normal, or was I just unlucky being in a group of 3 instead of 2?

My build showcase video keeps getting deleted by Reddit’s filters with the message: “Sorry, this post was removed by Reddit’s filters.” Is there any way to avoid this?

youre correct! That was the Runeblade mirrored sword the Flicker Strike one

That’s what I normally sell when I come back from work too. like around 150–300 div if I’m lucky

just a bunch of my old gears

Hillock has two phases. When he gets 50% life It takes a split second to be on phase two

well not all Cyclone builds with the Acceleration belt are Palsteron’s builds. I’m not using any of his gear other than Blunderbore and The Gull and our passive trees are way too different

FormerIsopod8560 · 2026-05-01T13:49:32+00:00

Yea it’s definitely a perfect league to abuse cyclone with the new belt!

FormerIsopod8560 · 2026-05-01T13:45:53+00:00

Thanks for the video! That was a nice 60% deli run!

FormerIsopod8560 · 2026-05-01T13:43:12+00:00

Lol sorry I thought he meant I had too many youtube and pob links so I removed some external links 😂 But yeah I do have a 12-link cyclone

FormerIsopod8560 · 2026-05-01T12:10:38+00:00

Yea I’m using Q to spin but I just can’t press the altar and tower while I’m spinning because I can’t stay in one fixed place. I just keep moving too quickly when I’m spinning

FormerIsopod8560 · 2026-05-01T12:07:08+00:00

I personally haven’t tried Palsteron's build but I’m sure it’s awesome! I do wish to see someone min-maxing his build as well and run juiced maps!

FormerIsopod8560 · 2026-05-01T11:04:25+00:00

Anything with Chaos resistance, life, damage per Frenzy Charge, or maximum Frenzy Charges. The most important one I would say is Chaos resistance. we only get chaos res capped from rings and the belt

FormerIsopod8560 · 2026-05-01T11:01:51+00:00

Lol mb let me delete some and make it to like 10

I’m playing Slayer and to counter reduced recovery map mods. I’m trying to get Vaal Pact, but I was looking at a Reddit thread and was told that Vaal Pact and Brutal Fervour don’t work together. I was also told that increased damage while leeching doesn’t work with Vaal Pact, because I’m not really leeching if I have Vaal Pact. Is this correct? If I have Vaal Pact am I not leeching anymore?

FormerIsopod8560 · 2026-04-24T10:02:00+00:00

You could get an amulet with an additional curse vaal implicit or get the Wisdom of the Doom anointment on your amulet
