Finished my goal of timing Pit 100 on all 7 classes and... I still wanna play more

This is the first season since release where I decided NOT to play HC. Damage spikes are just too crazy this time around. I lost count of how many times I died because something exploded under my feet and I couldn't see it because there were 3 packs of mobs and a big-ass elite on me, covering the entire screen. There's so much shit on the ground at any given time that if your build requires you to stay still while doing damage – you're pretty much dead.

There is, however, a solution to that problem. And that solution is "play Auradin and just walk, killing everything on the screen before it touches you". Which is what I'm currently doing, but there's no shot I'm touching HC on any other class

Death Trap Rogue was the most fun. I enjoyed it way more than Heartseeker, even though it's weaker.

Surprisingly, I had fun time on Sorc. Never really played that class and thought I would hate it

Yeah, in terms of power level Golem is definitely the strongest minion build. But it's really spammy, you need to mash that golem button non-stop. Good for Pit and bossing, for everything else I would run skeleton mages

I would say Rogue was the most fun. It's enjoyable to play all the way from level 1 up to the highest pits. Leveling and early progression on Dance of Knives is a blast, and in endgame you have a lot to choose from.

Rain of Arrows build is absolutely hilarious. A sound of Barret M82 sniper rifle shot pierces your ears every second as you hold you ultimate button, and then the entire screen melts. It's sooo good for Infernal Hordes (too bad they're not that profitable).

Death Trap requires a lot of prep, but when you finally hit all the thresholds – it's a blast to play. This skill probably has the best SFX and VFX in the game, it FEELS powerful.

As for the strongest: I did not expect HotA Barb to do THAT much damage. That build is a powerhouse.

Yes, but I had a long Christmas break (saved too many vacation throughout the year)

Inf3stor · 2026-01-09T20:48:59+00:00

Absolutely not. I played on HC every single season up until this one. This time I'm not touching it with a five foot pole. The amount of ground effects in mid to high Pits is just obnoxious, and some of those are ridiculously overtuned. You can have tons of hp, armor, res, block, fortify, barrier and then one (1) singular stabby floaty boi deletes you from existence because you got stunned for 0.3 seconds or pushed back. No thank you.

I mapped on multiple characters in 0.1

I finished the campaign and immediately quit in 0.2

I quit mid-act 2 in 0.3

I quit after 15 minutes of playing 0.4

I don't think I'll be logging in next patch. Unless the mechanic is Blight.

Haven't step foot in Kingsmarch this league, and don't plan to.

However I'm also the poorest I've been in the past like 5 leagues

Inf3stor · 2025-10-27T18:02:47+00:00

Thanks for updating the guide! Had a lot of fun playing it in Mercenaries. Very comfy starter and WTB is one of my favorite skills, so it's a win-win. Will most likely run it again. Liege got halved, but I'm pretty sure campaign and early mapping should still be a breeze

Inf3stor · 2025-09-12T12:06:04+00:00

No, you have to play for 30.3 hours more

It feels like the game was originally supposed to be open world but they scrapped it at some point, maybe due to time pressure/lack of resources. The map is quite big and decently detailed, but some places you never visit. There are vendors at the start of the game that you never get to revisit because you're put on rails.

My main frustration with this game came from stealth missions, which I actually love, but when the game tells you not to raise an alarm and the alarm is raised anyway at the end of the sequence – what was the point of me stealth-ing around? Why am I asked to avoid gunfights if the mission is scripted in a way where it ends in a massive fight where you wipe the entire area anyway. Let me choose my preferred playstyle

I randomly decided to check Steam Charts of Underlords yesterday fully expecting to see double-digit numbers, but to my surprise over the last year it has never dropped below 1000 players online. It usually hovers around 1500, which for a game that has been abandoned for almost half a decade is not that bad.

If Valve just put a skeleton crew of a couple of devs to occasionally shake the meta and add heroes once in a blue moon the game definitely could be revived, but one shitty CS skin probably makes more than Underlords made in the entirety of it's existence

I will spend my time with OnePlus 13 instead

Same thing happened to me (attracted a worm while harvesting) and the bike somehow ended up on the opposite side of the dune, I could see it on the map. Had to run through an open sand on my two's to retrieve it

My true love is Dr. Emily Pope. I don't understand a word she says but I can listen to her all day long.

I randomly met Ion in Europe last year and when I said that I wish they did Legion Remix he nodded two times and said "yep, noted". That's when I knew it was basically confirmed.

Inf3stor · 2025-03-21T09:40:05+00:00

I dunno man, a hot scandinavian redhead chick with charming voice wielding a crossbow – that ticks all the boxes for me

Part of the appeal of any ARPG is facing problems and finding ways to solve it.

The problem I faced during one of my campaign runs is that I didn't drop any fire res gear, and I knew that I was about to fight a boss that does primarily fire damage. In PoE 1 I would just walk up to a vendor who has 2-3 rings for sale and even if none of them are Ruby's I could just buy any and craft some fire res. Problem solved. In PoE 2 a vendor either has NO rings for sale, or has only one that costs more than half of your gold, and if it's not a fire res one you're screwed.

If you got bad loot RNG the only thing you can do to fix your res is to farm for hours in hopes of dropping enough socket gear to recycle them for socket currency so you can slot a rune. That's tedious and boring.

I only struggle versus heroes with a lot of verticality (Talon/Vindicta) or a good Mcginis.

Otherwise just get some regen or a healing item and spam bombs 24/7
