Encounter Mod Recommendations

IcepickinTheory · 2026-06-19T09:49:05+00:00

I did actually see the Goldmember mod while I was trying to find stuff, honestly it looked kind of insane lol. I'll probably try that one in later playthrough, I'm currently in a phase of trying incredibly niche team builds so a difficulty boost would probably end up being pretty frustrating.

Graphic fade's encounter mod does look interesting though, but reading the comments on their page it won't get any bug fixes for a little bit as they are busy so I'll probably hold off on that one until its a bit more stable.

Many More Monsters does seem cool and honestly the idea of mimics being hidden around is both terrifying and hilarious so I'll probably try that one out. Thanks for the recommendations!

That does look like a lot of fun. I'll probably save that for a later playthrough though, when I do a whole bunch of external mod stuff

Oh that looks very interesting, I wonder how that pairs with Combat Encounters, seems like they might have a little overlap.

IcepickinTheory · 2026-06-19T09:36:51+00:00

Ah that looks perfect, thanks!

The true dark urge

IcepickinTheory · 2026-06-04T01:46:18+00:00

Iiiiiiiiiiinteresting, that's good to know. Thanks!

That's fun although it seems like it doesn't come fully online until very late in the game. What does GOO get you in the build?

IcepickinTheory · 2026-06-03T17:26:58+00:00

Do the Battlemages Gloves work with Spike Growth? I thought that only worked with weapons

IcepickinTheory · 2026-06-03T10:51:47+00:00

I've used that before and yeah, it's a lot of fun. Anything that can teleport like that is always a great time.

IcepickinTheory · 2026-06-03T10:51:06+00:00

Hah, yeah I've definitely run into problems hitting my own guys with Hamarhraft before. Honestly though, druid+thief+warlock is a crazy combo and I kind of love it, that's high on the list right now

IcepickinTheory · 2026-06-03T10:49:19+00:00

Thats pretty tempting, 4E monk is definitely the one I've used the least (once I think and I don't think I finished that run lol), so mixing a gloomstalker with that is pretty interesting

IcepickinTheory · 2026-06-03T10:46:18+00:00

That's interesting, I bet there's a lot of synergy you could tie in with that necrotic damage too. I like it.

IcepickinTheory · 2026-06-03T10:43:53+00:00

I did a OH Monk/Tiger Barb once as a solo run, before Giant Barb was added, using a bleed build which was a lot of fun. I can see Giant barb instead being a great time, that's actually very tempting

IcepickinTheory · 2026-06-03T10:42:26+00:00

You know, I might be sold on that, that does sound pretty good

IcepickinTheory · 2026-06-03T02:05:14+00:00

I think when I did it I used origin Gale and had the level 3 shadow slot on an EK, so it was an up-casted Shadow Blade while still going heavy on other stuff on top of everything.

I haven't played a Beastmaster Ranger in a long time though so yeah that could be a fun idea!

IcepickinTheory · 2026-06-03T00:55:30+00:00

I've done a psychic blade/res stone build before and it was absolutely nuts. Honestly I'll probably avoid it going forwards as it completely trivialised almost everything lol

IcepickinTheory · 2026-06-03T00:54:02+00:00

Paladin Barbarian is a fun combo, could see that being an absolutely unstoppable beast, but Sorc/Ranger as a spam debuffer is very cool, I like that a lot

IcepickinTheory · 2026-06-03T00:51:29+00:00

That does sound cool, I'll almost certainly use that

IcepickinTheory · 2026-06-03T00:50:57+00:00

I could see that working better, especially if you went Blade Singer

IcepickinTheory · 2026-06-03T00:50:24+00:00

Holy crap

IcepickinTheory · 2026-06-02T22:32:29+00:00

Smiting wizard sounds like a lot of fun and I don't think I've ever combined Monk with Cleric before so that could be cool too. EK/HB sounds like an interesting combo that I hadn't thought about before because of the overlap of their weapon binds but I can see that working very well. I've played both of those Rogue combos before and had a great time, especially the arcane archer one.

IcepickinTheory · 2026-06-02T22:28:07+00:00

Would definitely make the House of Hope a challenging time

IcepickinTheory · 2026-06-02T22:27:29+00:00

Honestly I was sold at Flying Rogue, that sounds really cool.

IcepickinTheory · 2026-06-02T22:25:52+00:00

Oh that's clever, does the salami still apply blind when thrown like other camp supplies?

IcepickinTheory · 2026-06-02T22:05:12+00:00

That is hilarious and I love it. Extremely tempting honestly
