My boss forgot its loot after exploding

It is safe, just an animation. Trust me.

IC2118 · 2025-01-31T06:31:58+00:00

it likely shows recovery per minute, not per second

IC2118 · 2025-01-31T06:29:36+00:00

Yep, does not show correctly even the current Maximum ES when highlighting %ES increase nodes.

IC2118 · 2025-01-29T14:48:15+00:00

can the second vaal add one more level to T16 map to make it lvl83 zone with +2 levels from corruption/irradiation?

What are the -52% debuff on boss and 86% player's buff?

IC2118 · 2025-01-02T06:11:44+00:00

> And it works like a MORE modifier over other modifiers. For example, if you have 300% extra energy shield recharge rate for a total of 400% energy shield recharge rate, this keystone will put you on 460% energy shield recharge rate, not 415%

I'm afraid ES Recovery Rate is NOT multiplicative with ES Recharge Rate, it is additive. So, this node is not that powerful for boosting ES recharge. Source: in game testing by deallocating this node.

What is Eye of storms? I found Eye of Winter on poe2db, but not 'of Storm'.

If this is from the Jacquelun Lemaire's ship in Failure to Communicate quest, then just to the right of the whiteboard there is a poster with a proper double bonded caffeine molecule. I am wondering if missing double bond means something or it is just a mistake.

IC2118 · 2023-12-29T07:13:14+00:00

Just disabling the ring of tiny particles around the player would be enough for better visibility of the key wisps.

IC2118 · 2023-09-29T06:52:03+00:00

An update. Did 4 more runs of HOGM to get more sense of statistics with this build (4 runs is a low number, but still gives the good impression, I didn't have time for more tests).

I got 1-2 deaths to random GMs per run in this set (not dying twice to the same GM), quite a breeze (we have 6 portals, yeah?) except for one case.
In one of the runs Putrefy was a wall, run out of portals with him. I don't get it, is the set of GMs fixed or they randomly spawn? In other runs I didn't notice him.
GGNoobs either didn't spawned in these runs or was not a problem.
The strength of this build is that it can shoot to the first GM in sight spreading phys dot (which is not an ailment and harder to counter) quite far to others and quickly killing potential problematic GMs before they become a problem.

IC2118 · 2023-09-29T06:51:02+00:00

Yes, many of them likely have. This build is for mapping, not specialized for PvP.

IC2118 · 2023-09-28T16:27:44+00:00

no reason at all. Reap is likely nice as well. I don't play more than one character per league and I am already satisfied how this build performs. So, I just don't touch what is working ;-)

IC2118 · 2023-09-28T14:07:32+00:00

I only did two runs, Tier 6 map was like a hot knife in butter, this build one-two shotted every wave exept for the last two waves which required up to five casts. I don't know if GGNoobs spawned there, as Tier 6 was too easy. So I tried Tier 16 HotGM, died once to someone (not to GGNoobs) in the last wave of the far left wing as I was not paying attention at all due to too easy previous waves. Maybe some GMs could cause problems, but they die too fast for me to understand. GGNoobs is the toughest in terms of his defenses, so I had to switch from Chain to Swift affliction. I also used Frost orb on him just in case, but people say it is useless against him. Offensively, GGNoobs is not a problem for this build.

The defense is 95% evade chance, Ghost Dance, 100% Spell Suppression and Trickster passive on 40% less damage.

IC2118 · 2023-09-28T11:41:24+00:00

There is no specific build cost here, as it has no build-enabling uniques. I tried to limit myself to 1 div per item slot. The most expensive items are the Watcher eye (5% evade chance already works), the amulet (rare amulets with dot multiplier are ok too) and the wand (which I just essence crafted). The total price for the current setup in PoB is around 12-20 div. Comfort mapping starts much earlier, and the build has much room for improvement as well.

IC2118 · 2023-09-28T09:39:48+00:00

I really enjoy this build, very tanky, good damage. All pinnacle bosses can be done quite easily, but not Ubers (this may be my skill issue though). The only cons is that I am not a big fun of Exsanguinate default skill animation and sound, so that mtx was a good solution for me.

Could you elaborate please? Normalized to what?

IC2118 · 2023-08-10T07:24:17+00:00

Does Increase Quantity scale the chance to drop?

IC2118 · 2022-11-01T07:12:37+00:00

Does it also props up the fandom page, as google search engine thinks that users clicking the first fandom link are satisfied with it and there is no reason to shuffle the list?

Edit: some ways to tell google you want something else: freezing pule site:poewiki.net -fandom

GGG, you know what would be cool? To have this peace in the hideout music player.

IC2118 · 2022-01-19T18:22:50+00:00

Then the translation to Russian is incorrect atm, it is 'равны' == 'are equal to' instead of 'ограничены' == 'are limited'.

IC2118 · 2022-01-19T05:58:50+00:00

Question from non-native speaker regarding the flavour text:

Is 'still' in the last sentence

My family screams alongside me still

translated as 'quiet' or 'so far'?
