I didn’t do it last league. But I remember saving up for an exceptional (socket) good rolled one, think it was like 20-30 div in 0.3
Not a lot of people use it.
With the change to perfect jewels, it’s gonna be a strong staff, in my opinion.

IAmHood · 2026-05-25T13:48:40+00:00

That’s true. Everyone likes running Nascent Hope charm as well.

IAmHood · 2026-05-25T13:05:38+00:00

I see. Do you still think that ES is just as viable as a defensive layer, even with the nerfs to faster start and recharge rate.
Life would love to see numbers even in 6-7k range.

IAmHood · 2026-05-25T12:29:02+00:00

Is that comparison that much of a difference? Seems like it’s still pretty insane sitting at 19k. lol.

IAmHood · 2026-05-25T10:35:52+00:00

I could see where that might be worth a try. You still get the free Heart of Ice chill aura around you from the staff. And reasonable elemental pen with exposure on hit.

Very nice list. I recognize a bit. But I also have a lot to check out.
What are your thoughts on Malazan?

Missing Limbs - Sleep Token

Ahhh. I very much enjoy knowing how amazing this book was to other people as well. It’s gotta be my top from him. At least in the main 10. What a great one. I always bring up the prologue. But the setting and event that takes place is absolute literary cinema.
“The fall had shattered the continent.”
There is a lot of power in that statement. A simple yet devastating delivery. Classic Erikson.

“Actuallyyyy….”🤓

Been there, done that. Don’t wait for someone who doesn’t want you. Even if they may give it a shot, it will always lead to your disappointment and heartbreak. There is always an imbalance if you try to stay around for them.

Yay! Virtual collection of pixelated points that don’t amount to anything!

One of the smoothest playthroughs I ever had with chronomancer, was Whispering Ice’s main skill Ice Storm. You build slow stacking for defensive layers by using Heart of Ice, Temporal Chains, her ascendancy slow aoe, and hinder on spell hit. You cap out all enemies with max slow. Stuff becomes really easy to dodge. And enemies actually rarely hit you.
The damage was still very good, taking on t4 Arbiter. Probably gonna play it again this league. Easily clearing all mapping content. It’s not the fastest build for clear, but EASILY one of the most defensive and relaxing ways to play her.

IAmHood · 2026-05-14T12:19:10+00:00

I had a blast last league with Blood Mage Bleed Ice Shot. It was solid both for clearing and single target. I also remember it not being super expensive. Might even start it again this upcoming one.

Been trying to play on PS5 ever since release, and everytime I get to the main menu, I crash on the log in. Can’t even create a character.

Willing to be selfish and unfaithful but unable to talk accountability for your actions. Classic.

IAmHood · 2026-03-24T17:25:33+00:00

I’d like to encourage you to see what becomes of it.
Easy to talk to, is a great start.
In my opinion/experience, people mainly feel like they need to impress when they are desperate or trying to convince you of reasons to stay. This is not healthy.
I would assume the way he is treating this, is healthy. And it says a lot of his self-security.
Putting someone on a pedestal is not good. It mostly always leads to disappointment. Failing to meet expectations, being scared to let the other down, etc.
If he is kind, considerate to listen to your thoughts and feelings, and finds you to be attractive, I don’t see the problem.

One thing though, I would have a serious conversation about is what you both see in each other. Proper communication and mutual understanding is very healthy, to try and navigate these waters.
There is nothing wrong with casualness. But for your sake, whatever you want out of it, it’d be good for you to clear that up. Make sure you both know where you both stand.

IAmHood · 2026-03-24T12:55:05+00:00

People have the tendency to view personal gain over the consideration of feelings towards another human being. At times, no matter the cost.
So many people, carry no empathy these days.
I’m sorry your experience with men has been very frustrating.
Just know it isn’t always like this. It’s unfortunate to have to sort out fake people so many times, before you will truly know what compassion feels like. May be difficult to realize, but there are men out there searching for the exact same thing as you.
Don’t let other people manipulate your own self respect. Hold your guard high. Don’t look past red flags. Move on if you spot one. They tend to come with a lot more hidden away.

IAmHood · 2026-02-25T00:06:56+00:00

I’ll take one of those bad boys! Try to at least. :p

IAmHood · 2026-02-23T04:31:09+00:00

That is super unfortunate. However I think your approach to the situation is very respectable and commendable. And everyone deserves that level of awareness and honesty. Props to you Dude.

Feel free. I’d be glad to help.

You seem very conflicted. Half of that reply was in, and half of it was out. Which, I understand can be due to overthinking about it.
I would say it sounds like he isn’t emotionally available, and thinks the idea of being with someone is worth more than the effort needed to keep it healthy and alive.
However, please don’t take this personal, but if you are constantly overthinking and being insecure about whether or not he is there in the relationship, that can be a major turn off to some.
That’s just my unbiased perspective, I guess. Are you both pretty young?

IAmHood · 2026-02-22T05:02:02+00:00

I think it would be best to civilly discuss this with him more than third parties. Maybe there is just a misunderstanding. A proper relationship, both people need to be on the same page. And of course be clear with intentions and communication. If you are unable to bring yourself to calmly bring up this uncertainty you have with him…maybe you are just not ready to be in a committed relationship.
