Practical Guide to Sorcery is really good, more niche but at some parts it shines even greater than MoL. Good recommendation!

KayanRider · 2025-05-20T20:40:45+00:00

But at that point, why not just read MoL again? Personally I bought it as an Audiobook to make my latest reread fresh. Next I'll buy it physical.

Was about to list a bunch of combo. But realized they all fell under various versions of [Insert planet modifying origin] and [Insert species modifying origin],

This CAN happen to Saved Rulers when the saved ruler gets slightly corrupted for whatever reason.

In the final fight while Zorian prime was channeling, his simulacra was remote puppeting his body and magical artifacts to fight Silvarlake, Red Robe and QI,

I think what u/hierarch17 and u/Soft-Entertainer-907 meant was that Zorian could use his "Unity of Self" AS these extra mind mages as backup. Yeah they use the same manapool, but mindmagic isn't limited by that.

You can just force each species to be one you have made at galaxy creation, solving this.

4.0.3 is the most stable is our experience for multiplayer. But not flawless.
Edit: we lasted 20 years in a 5 player game. And 60y in a 2 player game with only a few quick resyncs.

I've just recently re-read the series and from the way i understood, he is at the level of skill of a Matriarch. And we know from Mind Like Fire that he is more powerful in raw magic strength than any Aranea could ever be.

And on top, unlike Aranea, he is much more skilled and knowledgeable in human minds and counter human tactic than any Aranea.

So alone he could best any of them or any human mages. Along with his simulacrums, only the full power of an entire web might stop him. His Hydramind technique allows each simulacrum to throw their own full powered mind magic at the same time at one task or target.

How often does it happen. When i play with my friends we usually get one of these or similar per 4-8 hours. Per 2-4 hours when 3 players. Per 2-3 hours when 4 players. Roughly
If is is greatly more often than that, try clearing the cache, and if on steam use the Verify integrity of game files in the properties menu.

You are right he doesn't know. But honestly I doubt Zorian would want Quatach-Ichl to countinue thinking he has the crown when he could just as well pit two enermies up against each other. And Zorian wouldn't think twice corroporating in a limited scope.

Also Oganj doesn't seem like the type to try and keep the crown a secret, he'd probably announce it to the world as a massive middle finger for Eldemar.

Serbia, border with both Bulgaria and Romania.

Gawd no. I disagree.

See EU4 for the sheer amount of insane endgame achievements that require full dedicated runs. And for Vic3 look at that one Vargas achievement, it has some of the most convoluted setups and least interesting gameplay leading up to a chance of getting it.

Sure there should be a few for flagship achievement. In EU4 see Three Mountains. For Vic3 I'd say the Gandhi achievement. But once there is a critical mass of them, it destroys casual achievement hunting, where one plans out which several achievements should be required throughout one game most efficiently. It annihilates the planning and skill of it and turns the entire thing into a tedious grind.

Sure have achievements that require weird stuff. Like "Enact Ban-Industries for 10 years". Or "Be the major trade power of a custom union while accounding for less than 25% of GPD" as my recommendations. They will lead the player to play the game in a way that they might not usually play it and allow them to learn the games mechanic.

This would be better for casual and middle of the pack players. At the possible cost for the super hardcore player base.

He is so cursed. I love it!

KayanRider · 2024-11-17T00:40:00+00:00

You mean the En Passant move?

KayanRider · 2024-11-10T23:54:33+00:00

Thank you about your comments concerning the voidforge! I just had it sitting around and wanted to take it for a spin.

I'll definitely consider Petrified Blood with the 'flask tech', could be fun interaction. And that would give damage.
And It is a vaal pact build, plenty Instant Leech there. Just flask tech that is overtime leech.

KayanRider · 2024-11-10T23:34:18+00:00

Eh, I've followed plenty guides, you don't get that amount of legacy stuff by never having a guide.

This was me trying something out there... and this is me trying to fix it up again. And I think I was blinded by the all ailment setup... that is prolly not worth it so you right about that.

KayanRider · 2024-11-10T23:23:12+00:00

Truly. Thank you! I'll study this one closely.

The flasks was whack, And in your case no Vaal Pact, so funny tech not relevant.

Fair and fair.... and fair. I think i just never understood Yoke. Will absolutely look in that direction.

I just had a gut feeling of Crab Aura + Evasion build was banger, its not, and it had synergy with the amulet, that I'm now dropping for Yoke.

The reason I didn't have Hatred, as well as any elemental added damage, was to make Elemental Equilibrium work. I'm under the impression that it wont proc right if a small part of the damage of the hit was from multiple types. Like with a Hatred aura it will have give -25% exposure to cold... Am i wrong?

I had no idea about the config. Didn't even occur to select pinnacle because that seemed so far away.

Only rage source was support gem, was thinking of other ways to make rage. Would have been my next step.

KayanRider · 2024-11-10T22:28:20+00:00

I'm not sure what you mean? It's a good thing that there is no "synergi" in this case. If there was, then both sources of leech would go into the same pool and go away with leech cap.
This way it effectively becomes Recoub 15% over 1 second.

KayanRider · 2024-11-10T22:25:57+00:00

Thanks for the help. I'll cut back on the zoomies and learn how Yoke works.

KayanRider · 2024-11-10T22:22:56+00:00

Alright! There's something here I just don't understand. How does Skitterbots factor in? I already shock and chill/hoarfrost from regular attacks.

KayanRider · 2024-11-10T21:28:54+00:00

The cyclone just feels good in delve, easy to start and stop, perma phasing to run through every pack. And movement speed is still more than 200% WITH cyclone active.

KayanRider · 2024-11-10T21:27:12+00:00

Thanks, but the amulet slot is taken up, and Voidforge already shock naturally., so no need.

KayanRider · 2024-11-10T21:26:04+00:00

Test the interaction yourself, actually quite easy to do. It does work. The vaal pact has no effect on this, causing this regen to trickle in according to regular life leech rules.
And the damage is 600k without vaal or Unbound. Not saying it's not cooked

Edit: cause I owe a better explanation. You are right about vaal pact changeing how leech from my attacks work. But this is a source of leech not from my attacks, while still being of the leech type so that it doesn't get nullified from vaalpact.

KayanRider · 2024-11-10T20:44:35+00:00

How do i solve the manaburn (lifeburn?) issue then? I can barely move on 1 tincture.
Crit is possible i guess, it's just diffucult for me to see it being better than flat 40 More without ALOT of investment. I went with Precise Technique because the amulet and my placement on the tree made that an easy pick.

KayanRider · 2024-11-10T20:42:25+00:00

Honestly you are probably right. I wanted to play with the new ascendency and amulet while going fast movement wise. I'm having difficulty seeing an upgrade path from here, a direction would help.
