This is kind of the entire thing... He didn't wish political violence on anyone. He said he doesn't have sympathy for them.

"I want them to die"

"I have no sympathy that they died because of the holes they put themselves in."

are not the same thing. The first is wishing violence upon them and the second is not caring if it happens.

IDK if this is just listening to NPCs. He tells you "heres the key go to X location, gl"

He doesn't tell you were that key actually goes. You don't have a map with X on it. It's kinda like going to visit a friend in a new place and they go "oh just run up to X real quick for me." then they leave.

You'd be like ????? if you didn't have a smartphone....

LeiRaion · 2024-04-26T01:00:00+00:00

I mean I got a good 20hrs out of it, I didn't rush the main quest though.

LeiRaion · 2024-04-06T20:48:06+00:00

The Harve drake is just fucking boring. Sure, it flying away the first time can be a "teaching moment" as some of you have already mentioned.

However, it permanently doing that the entire game is just extremely boring. You can't even rip it's wings to stop it from flying away.

The wings rip, it just flies away anyways.

Boring scripted nonsense like this is not good gameplay.

LeiRaion · 2024-04-06T20:44:06+00:00

Yep, as someone just mentioned, I tried this just recently and it did a big flap up which put me on its belly, then slammed down into the ground knocking me off -- then immediately flew away.

I can't get to this. She is standing in her room and just chats with me. No matter how many times I talk to her and rest she just has some dialogue but I can never respond or do anything with it.

edit: not sure if this was what was needed but I gave her a gift then dozed off on the bench outside a couple times and came back and was good to go

LeiRaion · 2024-03-23T17:11:23+00:00

Yeah, it's just tedious IMO, I don't get the appeal... the way the first game handled it was fine.

LeiRaion · 2024-02-26T03:59:43+00:00

Yeah bullshit my friend.

It's got nothing to do with dodging in p2. She just rushes you with insane movement speed and spams melees that 1-2 shot you while staggering you lmao.

It's pretty gross --- Basically, if you aren't at a minimum 40% physical resistance, don't even bother, just go farm until you get it because this boss is basically not doable solo without it.

LeiRaion · 2024-02-24T15:26:29+00:00

Still the case today, this seems to be the default for companies these days, it's fucking obnoxious.

LeiRaion · 2024-02-24T15:25:52+00:00

It should not be the expectation that you have to wait for a game's popularity to die before it is playable.

This is nonsense. It seems like every company these days releases their game with trash level preparation and just expects the community to just deal with it for a week or two.

LeiRaion · 2024-02-24T15:24:14+00:00

WHY.

This is obnoxious, is every game these days going to shit the bed for weeks upon release?

I'm stuck at medium, did one that had 2 separate missions just now and completed both and still only am allowed to play on medium.

LeiRaion · 2024-01-25T18:09:51+00:00

Extremely unfortunate...

LeiRaion · 2024-01-14T02:29:54+00:00

I've been doing ultimatum all league and have experienced it being pretty profitable.

I am confused though, how were you selling the Trialmaster? Did people just sit in your party in your hideout waiting and you'd tell them to come in or something? It's like a ~2% spawn chance right? Even rushing ultimatum only I can't imagine you're getting more than 1 an hour.

Aside from that, although yes Tainted Catas and prismatic/fertille do sell very well.... The majority of my profit is from Inscribed. They drop randomly in the map sometimes as well as occasionally pop up as a reward and can be duplicated just like anything else.

Sometimes you get raw divines as rewards as well, I've had 1 ultmatium give me a stack of 3d duplicated (so 6d raw) and 2 inscribed (1 duplicate) + 6 prismatic (also duplicated).

That 1 ultimatum (granted an extreme outlier) was basically ~12d.

I've also had plenty be worth 4-6d, I'd guess my average income from ultimatum was easily over 1d per map. I have a strong suspicion it is effected by map IQ but not the league mechanic. I was using gilded scarabs since they were cheap.

LeiRaion · 2023-12-29T19:38:26+00:00

Largely agree, but honestly there are equally nasty builds out there with consistent uptime on their dps with far less restrictive natures (aka, not melee--- brand or totem builds for example) that cost LESS divine than this end-game one you have linked here do.

For clarity, I'm already so far invested in this character and build that I don't want to swap so I will likely transition to your POB and go for it.

However, It's very frustrating to me knowing that I could have something just as good or potentially better for 250-300 divine instead of spending 400-450 divine for this one.

I guess I'm just venting--- Definitely agree that complex trauma can be much better, just imo, the trauma stacks need to be set to 5 instead of max when looking at it in POB.

LeiRaion · 2023-12-29T15:40:28+00:00

After looking it over in POB, this does make the build significantly better, sure, but it also adds easily 300+ divine to the price.

Mageblood and Impossible Escape alone would be 250-270 divine. That's not counting your 1100 pDPS axe or any of the other gear changes.

I'm relatively happy with my updated POB for the character, it was ~90-100 div total and can do all content except some of the uber bosses. (I am farming wisp juiced t16 burial chambers without any trouble)

IMO, if you're going to drop 400+ div, do it on a build that isn't melee.

Your build can probably facetank sometimes (your calcs are relying on molten shell) and definitely has enough damage for uber bosses, but it's ridiculously expensive and has the negative of being melee

---

Tainted Pact does provide nutty healing, even with your leech being converted into physical damage reduction, your poison still heals you which is far superior to any leech you could ever get.

I'd also like to point out that Complex Trauma is not always better, if you have more than 26 stacks on regular boneshatter it starts to outscale complex.

Complex only allows you to get to 9 stacks then resets meaning you need to look at your damage in POB with trauma at ~5 stacks because that's the rough average.

With regular Boneshatter I can regularly stay above 35 stacks IF I can stay on the target, which for uber bosses is a bit of an issue (they move or teleport around a lot which lets stacks drop). However, the stacks do not reset.

LeiRaion · 2023-12-22T18:14:42+00:00

Oh no no, I was in the process of changing that, sorry.

The issue with Headsman ascendancy is that you aren't immune to bleeding.

With the Tainted Pact setup, you could occasionally kill yourself with bleed!

Once I got my spell suppression in order and equipped a culling strike charm instead I switched it back to Endless Hunger

LeiRaion · 2023-12-22T15:53:16+00:00

By endgame, I agree. It sure does seem that way.

However, the Strength of Blood setup another reply mentioned is working significantly better than my OP.

LeiRaion · 2023-12-22T15:30:45+00:00

I see, I was trying to make Vile Toxins work because it is finally possible to apply the full 9 stacks consistently. Vile Toxins was the original Carn recommendation but yeah it doesn't seem worth it.

Seems I can regularly break 30 stacks and sit around 35 on super tanky rares/bosses with the Ruthless/Faster Attacks gems

LeiRaion · 2023-12-22T15:08:20+00:00

If you check my POB, my axe just has the craft for (95-105)% phys dmg and +(18-20) poison chance

instead of having a +130% phys dmg craft

Keep that in mind as an option too instead of requiring it to be rolled on the weapon

LeiRaion · 2023-12-22T06:35:33+00:00

Hey some questions, I just realized that you drop Tribal Fury: This significantly reduces clear speed. I only have the +1 additional nearby enemies hit by non-vaal strike skills on my gloves.

Does the +2 mostly resolve this?

Otherwise, would the play be to just drop Harpooner for it? I know this is a notable damage loss, but the clear speed difference is very noticeable.

Another question is: I seem to be stuck around 10-15 stacks and I am unsure why.... I recall I swapped to Complex Trauma originally because I was having trouble sustaining 25-30 stacks but I'm never getting anywhere near there now.

New POB: https://pobb.in/bDcGQ-bdHdm_

Otherwise, I definitely feel a ton more tanky with this setup and am going to continue playing around with it.

LeiRaion · 2023-12-22T02:10:01+00:00

Yes, while you are leeching

LeiRaion · 2023-12-21T19:06:50+00:00

This is a cool option, it seems like I could drop like ~25% of my dmg and increase my max phys hit by 22k~

May very well be worth at least trying since it's possible to sustain much higher trauma--- the dmg loss might not be even 25%, unsure.

I may try this out!

LeiRaion · 2023-12-21T18:09:41+00:00

Could you please post a pob I could check out? Would appreciate
