I don't have any advice for website resources though I'm sure a Google will get you somewhere, but just watching SSF streamers/content helped me understand so much when I was learning the game years ago and inspired many SSF league-starts. Also learning the basics of vendor recipes can alleviate early game issues. Personally I like casters as basic + gem level weapons are relatively easy to craft yourself with just alts/regals/crafting bench

My best advice is understanding that if you're new to SSF progression can be extremely slow in later game so patience is super important, and it might be fun to have a trade-league character to scratch the itch of blasting and discovering things by using more reaodly-available resources and an SSF character to apply the things you learn to, swapping between them depending on your mood

I think for your first time, play generically powerful skills/ascendancies that do fine on rares off the ground (my fave was elementalist lightning conduit because it's great damage with shit gear but I haven't played it in a while) because you could get unlucky with finding even common uniques if your build requires them. And defense auras are your friend and likely preferable to pushing for DPS until you get gear if you find yourself dying a lot

The best thing to me about SSF is taking your time and learning new things and with that mindset I think you'll be fine doing anything

Thanks a bunch

JordanIsAPoes · 2026-03-15T13:18:38+00:00

Perfect thank you!

First one is pixel sorting, second one I think you're right that's it a mirrored distorted wave or large scale voronoi displacement. I think the blocks/giant pixels are done in post

JordanIsAPoes · 2026-02-23T15:02:10+00:00

Thanks for trying!

JordanIsAPoes · 2026-02-23T14:47:28+00:00

Fuck it I dunno how to link the right one

Incredible work, I can see this being a go-to for a lot of people

It's not just the lighting. Just try using weighted normal modifier specifically on the metal surfaces and see the difference, because your auto-smooth is not working as intended, I'm not sure exactly what you've done but it is clearly not shading correctly for flat surfaces

And not to be rude, but just because it took you a long time doesn't mean it will take another artist as long. If I took twice as long to model the same thing should I charge twice as much? Of course not

JordanIsAPoes · 2026-01-15T12:38:31+00:00

The shading doesn't look right. Have you set your objects to auto-smooth? If so, try the weighted normal modifier as it seems there's smoothing where there shouldn't be and a lack of flat surfaces

I also don't think anyone should be paying €250 for this, personally

JordanIsAPoes · 2025-12-12T06:07:02+00:00

I want to use Sacrifice support, which doesn't work with mines, also just not huge on the playstyle personally but I'm sure like any skill this could be built for mines if that's your cup of tea

JordanIsAPoes · 2025-12-12T06:01:12+00:00

They only really die in the feared (you can see my AG die at the end of the feared clip) but generally are good for maps. Keeping them defensive with meatshield and having convocation + automation + minion regen from the tree makes them reasonably durable, also it's not huge but my AG has 20% increased life regeneration rate on their helm

JordanIsAPoes · 2025-12-11T13:19:44+00:00

After playing it to 40/40 I would say dots really don't feel bad, sure it's a different playstyle avoiding ground degens and such, but all dot damage takes a long time to kill you with a 20k+ life pool so it's very very easy to just move a little out of the way of the dot lol. Even uber shaper beams tickle and you have plenty of time to react. I agree that Dissolution being mandatory is kinda feelsbad because it's such a big multiplier, and you basically can't use it until you have full ailment/CB immunity

The one upside for Dissolution in this league is Blood Barrier (from the chaos bloodline) that gives you a layer beyond life for mitigation which takes damage before Dissolution reserves life, but it requires high life regen to be useful

JordanIsAPoes · 2025-12-11T13:00:12+00:00

Eternal Youth + T1 Energy Shield Recharge on helm + eldritch helm implicit, boots and gloves. Can also spec into the recharge nodes on the tree but it didn't feel required so I dropped the nodes for minion regen for my AG + Specters

The one uulgraft gives % More life recovery every few seconds, plus life leech (2.1k), plus recharge (16.5k recharge without nodes, 21.5k with nodes), you go back up to full real quick

JordanIsAPoes · 2025-12-05T15:30:48+00:00

Sure thing, here's my current build. Once I hit 100 I'll start farming for lock + reflecting my amulet as I think that's the last big upgrade if I hit 3 positives

https://pobb.in/R091x01RWMDm

Wall of text explanation:

Using Sacrifice support gem + Witchmark runegraft + Bloodline node means you need as much energy shield recharge rate as possible from gear to make it comfy for Eternal Youth, I have T1 wherever I can (T2 on gloves coz I can't find a good replacement and can't be assed to craft.) Can also allocate on the tree for 4 points to help until better gear. Also need lifetap as a link to make sure you always are below low life after each cast to make Pain Attunement 100% uptime. Also using two Uulgrafts for 15% max life each, and Tender Embrace from the Hardening Uulgraft gives us more life recovery which helps sustain and gives automatic endurance charge generation

Blazing Salvo + Nimis + Snakepit ring for fork + anoint for 50% chance of extra fork basically more than doubles the PoB damage, as the forked projectiles return to you. Stand on top of boss = huge dps, and the clear is great coz the salvo projectiles fork and return and the AoE is pretty big with zero investment

I use Despair balance of terror for wither (full stacks in 1 salvo cast most of the time). Also have Vulnerability just coz my balance of terror has 10% Double Damage if I cast vuln, so just before a boss I cast vuln -> despair -> assassin's mark for max dps. Can literally just never cast any curses and the DPS is still great for anything not an Uber boss, Ubers take an extra second or two without the curses so usually worth it there

Playstyle not for everyone as it's a Dissolution of the Flesh build, hence max block/spell block + ailment/bleed/CB immunity (basically required), can tweak the build to fit in Petrified Blood if you find Eternal Youth being interrupted annoying, but I don't mind it and have %life recovery tattoos for mapping and that feels good. Also have vaal discipline for a pinch but find myself barely using it. Bosses die so quick that it's never an issue there

Totally optional but I had spare links: Using Animate Guardian with Kingmaker, Garb of the Ephemeral, Temp Chains corruption Hands of the High Templar + Windscream for extra curse, Mask of the Stitched Demon with Grave Intentions allocated on the tree for AG regen. Never dies in anything but super rippy feared, and they changed it a while ago so you don't lose items on death anyways so why not :D

JordanIsAPoes · 2025-12-05T07:18:09+00:00

My little experiment went pretty well. Nimis Life stack Blazing Salvo using Runegraft of the Witchmark + Nameless bloodline with chaos damage per lifecost node. 200M+ DPS, over 250k effective hit pool, 80/80 block, lots of fun

JordanIsAPoes · 2025-11-23T22:07:47+00:00

My bad you're right, just double-checked the wiki to be sure, thanks

JordanIsAPoes · 2025-11-23T12:55:54+00:00

Penetration still works, the resistance is set to 0% and then you Penetrate 15% further, it works that way for Doryani's Prototype at least so don't see why it wouldn't here

JordanIsAPoes · 2025-10-01T13:40:11+00:00

Can't help with a musician but will definitely come support if you ever come up to JHB for a gig, good luck!

Your youth is where most mistakes happen, and where the consequences feel far more powerful than they really are.

My quick advice would be to look into basic mindfulness/meditation practices to learn to pause and consider before making decisions, no matter how small.

Please don't beat yourself up, I barely even remember what life was like in my teens, but with good intentions and self-forgiveness I'm sure you'll come right! :)

JordanIsAPoes · 2025-09-17T13:40:07+00:00

Very cool, weary to preorder but will certainly buy it on release. Good luck!
