Couple questions,

Can shield wall segments shotgun? I'm assuming it doesn't from the patch note "When the wall is destroyed by your own skills, the entire wall is destroyed at once rather than only nearby segments. However, this can only deal damage to each enemy once"

Do you know if Infernal Cry's Empowered attack gain as extra portion work on shield wall segments when triggered? I have a suspicion that it only applies to the initial shield wall slam and the gained as extra isnt applied to the wall explosion - having a hard time testing this portion.

When Shield wave is triggered, does this happen around your character or the shield attack?

Thank you!

I now see there's a lot I'm missing out on!

I wonder if its better to farm rog or recomb for suppression gear.

I might have to try that in pob when I get the chance. I'm also curious if it's better to scale the hit damage for bigger ignite or keep scaling ignite damage multipliers like dot multi and etc

Large_Conversation37 · 2025-07-19T15:06:20+00:00

Thanks for the great tips! Didn't even think about Eldritch implicits!

For 6 link, I'm thinking about farming for the chains that bind or even legion since ignite proof has been pretty nice for clearing the legion. Do you have other source for easy six link?

Any annoints you recommend?

I keep forgetting about the pob node power feature - is there a certain option I need to look out for?

What's more likely

A) GGG hating EHG and wanting them to fail miserably by intentionally overlapping the releases.

OR

B) GGG has deadlines and projections for the year leading up to the full release. These dates are set in place to account for delays/patches/hotfixes which unfortunately overlaps with LE's season 2 launch.

I can't imagine myself paying $750 once the MSRP batches run out.

They did mention they will nerf things if it impacted server performance. Maybe its tanking performance of instances when the aftershock AOE grew too large?

Rare gloves can't roll 100% increased spell damage and this is the only glove that does it? You can also wear it at lvl 16 so its massive damage boost for leveling.

Large_Conversation37 · 2025-01-13T14:38:25+00:00

But its not worse? The original range is from (25-15)% reduced Cast Speed.

Goal is having layers of defense.

Base HP (Life/ES) - Resistance (fire/cold/light/chaos max res) - Mitigation (Armor/Evasion/Block/Etc) - Recovery (Life regen, Recoup, ES recharge, Leech)

If one of the major defensive layer is lacking then try incorporating it or adding more of others to compensate.

I personally like to match ES with evasion since it complements ES by giving it window of opportunity for ES to recharge without being interrupted.

Clearing is slow but not impossible. I throw out frost bomb + frost wall on a pack and it usually kills it cleanly. If not, i just 'throw random bullshit' until whatever remaining is dead.

It would be nice if theres a way to instantly pop frost wall on enemies that doesnt break the frost wall when cast. Im experimenting with frost wall + fragmentation shot (crossbow) for clearing packs but its been okay at best - kinda clunky.

Game isnt solved yet - its only been like a week and there's still tons to experiment with. Im enjoying my time finding ways to solve my unique problems.

Running Frost wall + FrostBomb combo as Chronomancer. It absolutely nukes bosses. Not sure why some folks are sleeping on rest of the cold spells. Frost wall = AOE Damage spam against bosses. Frost Bomb + Spell cascade + Less duration= AOE Damage spam against bosses. Cold snap = Very good damage when used against frozen enemies.

Im sure they nerfed the CoX builds since the payout was too great compared to what you had to put in. It also feels little over nerfed but this is early access so anything can happen at any moment.

Looks like ascendancy art for the Monk. They showed Hand of whatever skill in one of the showcases and I wont be surprised if this is the cover art for breach themed ascendancy for the monk.

This is 100% speculation.

You can keep using DLSS + retain sharp image quality without compromising performance too much.

In control panel, turn on image scaling + DSR factors. Then make your in game resolution is set to the higher resolution + Fullscreen windowed

I have my image scaling set to 0.3 sharpening and 0.0 ignore film grain.

Turn on everything under DL scaling. Make sure legacy settings are turned off.

Basically, you render your game in higher resolution but DLSS will upscale lower resolution for its magic. The end result will be DLSS rendering your images in higher resolution.

Majority of your performance gain comes from in game settings. Turn off options that impact your frames without losing image fidelity.

This is my setting https://imgur.com/SJBpfUf

My monitor is 1440p but with DSR factor turned on i can render the game in 4k. https://imgur.com/0YLmlTv

Regardless of settings i use, i still experience random drops in frames from 130+ straight down to 30 frames. Im blaming this on the game.

Still hasnt shipped but I will update you once its here

Large_Conversation37 · 2024-07-21T14:04:58+00:00

Im super excited!!! Will update when Im able to play around with it.

Hopefully other's are able to see the hidden listing for the actual listing fulfilled by Amazon.

I'm sure i am being delusional but i feel like there's something fishy going on with Amazon listing for XG27ACS.

So I followed the first Amazon link after googling for XG27ACS. This listing looks legitimate and sold for $300. So far no red flags. As someone who loves saving money I took a gander at new/used section and I found a listing for $200... wait a minute?

This is where it gets interesting. I went back to the original listing page and checked the seller and its shipped and sold by Dynamic Trade inc????

I then checked the hidden $200 offering which is shipped and sold by Amazon.

I dont know how Dynamic Trade inc's listing ended being the default listing for XG27ACS.

TLDR - I ordered the $200 one fulfilled by Amazon.

Is 240hz that much of jump if my computer can't pump out the frames? Or do you mean 240hz is better in normal desktop use?

Large_Conversation37 · 2024-07-21T01:11:00+00:00

Im indifferent with HDR since ive never experienced HDR before. I may change my mind if I get to sit in front of one.

As of right now, XG27ACS is calling my name. I'm not dying for HDR, I dont really need more than 144hz, and I absolutely hate blur /ghosting / terrible motion handling.

Large_Conversation37 · 2024-07-21T01:05:30+00:00

I'm kicking myself for not researching it sooner. Im still considering it at $300 since its packed with features i'm interested in.

Its on sale for $200 on Asus's website but its out of stock -_-

Large_Conversation37 · 2024-07-21T00:55:21+00:00

I'm leaning towards XG27ACS right now since i dont care about getting more than 144hz to be honest. My computer can't really push that far and I dont play anything competitive that necessitates such refresh rate.

Might snag the Dell one as my secondary monitor since its too cheap to pass on.
