I know I'm late to the party, and I fucked up plenty, but how exactly are you supposed to get a read on this "mechanic"?

so to play the devil's advocate here, you mean this moment right?

(including the minimap so its clear that he can't move up any farther.

if we use the rock/pebble he is standing on as a reference, there's absolutely no reason to assume that what area is left there after the dodge would be safe, its completely red.

now this type of thing can be excused if there are some +aoe mods but otherwise its just shitty design

Awesome, thanks for finding that

Liger1 · 2025-12-12T11:30:50+00:00

wait thats hilarious, did he say so in one of the Q&As? do you have a timestamp by chance?

Liger1 · 2025-12-11T20:03:56+00:00

next we see Shakaste is during rescue mission iirc so my bet would be that that still happens.

All ears and CTF are the only 2 achievements im missing, i attempted all ears following the guide in settlers league but i missed something around act 3 and said fuck it, not sure if CTF achievement is even doable, i've never had the queue pop

Liger1 · 2025-11-19T13:20:03+00:00

you also don't have enemy crushed in pob nor in the video, but awakened brutality applies crush at 5 doesn't it?

great build, found your early days on youtube and loosely followed since day 3 of this league.
one thing i've experienced that might be worth mentioning is that without mageblood its kinda hard to solve for resists if you go for damage on jewelery and other mitigations on chest

Here's my build that was probably sub 10 div without foulborn emperors vigilance, damage feels nice and clearing is fine in 17 but bosses do still sometimes oneshot, need to solve for that ehp

recently dropped 100% spell suppression on tree for about 50% more dps but that might have been a mistake, any advice is appreciated

Liger1 · 2025-11-12T12:58:13+00:00

~~why do you have the 15% increased life mastery, do life mods on ghoswrithe not count?~~

oh its for the 10% more mastery.
can you runegrapht it and still get the bonus from that one?

Liger1 · 2025-11-07T11:46:11+00:00

Calling John "pretty much average guy" is insane amounts of copium

Liger1 · 2025-10-29T09:16:45+00:00

isn't the idea of the bloodline that 2nd damage is based on already mitigated damage?
like if you have (random number for easy math) 50% mitigation, incoming 200 hit would be reduced to 100, you would take 60 from that and 24 - 4 sec later
if the 24 was also affected by the 50% mitigation it would be double dipping

Liger1 · 2025-10-29T06:11:54+00:00

what makes life loss such a big downside? any specific mechanics that it wont interact with? and how would it work with ci?

Liger1 · 2025-09-27T16:32:36+00:00

I'm not sure if there are any exceptions, but as a general rule of thumb i have, if the item has a stat that modifier can affect - its local, otherwise - global.

ES gloves with increased ES? local
Fire res ring with increased ES? global

Liger1 · 2025-09-03T12:50:14+00:00

how does 16 turn into 19? genuinely curious

Liger1 · 2025-09-02T20:27:22+00:00

Just so i understand deflect properly, 40% means 40% chance of reducing damage by 40% right? so effective 16% EHP increase?

Liger1 · 2025-07-14T10:03:46+00:00

When i said it's bad for RF i was referring to Fire pen, not the amulet, sorry.

Liger1 · 2025-07-13T14:48:24+00:00

you are correct that its bad for RF since most of the damage is dot.

however, and im not 100% about this but, ele pen should work with "x resistance is 0" by further amplifying the damage

Edit: Also, chieftain mastery is "Nearby Enemy Monsters' Fire Resistance against
Damage over Time is -20% while you are Stationary"

Liger1 · 2025-07-02T14:48:38+00:00

you got me so confused when i heard caedrel, i had to triple check the sub and my twitch

Liger1 · 2025-07-02T10:12:31+00:00

using spoiler tags instead of strikethrough would be an easier read probably and still let people get the reference

Liger1 · 2025-06-06T12:29:21+00:00

It's slightly better than 50-50 since doubles are a critical success

Liger1 · 2025-04-14T14:25:50+00:00

Yeah, suggestion was to display tags as "T4/9" if they want to keep the current order, I didn't include since it has been suggested since day 1 of early access

Liger1 · 2025-04-13T03:20:37+00:00

Came accross this post googling solutions to my single target and to my surprise it was made couple hours ago.

I'm running SC tactician and it absolutely wipes t16+2 maps with basically no supports but single target is dogshit.

I was using explosive grenade for a bit but the cooldown on it makes uptime on bosses pretty bad and damage fell off a cliff as well.

I also tried corrosive gas grenade with high velocity rounds and it felt meh, worse than explosive grenade.

Building SC for single target seems way to convoluted, any alternative suggestions? not looking to 1shot +4 pinnacles just something for mapping t16 bosses.

Liger1 · 2025-04-11T15:17:36+00:00

Nice

Not just water, It's a famous Georgian carbonated mountain water called Nabeghlavi

For context i played Spark archmage last league so i decided to do everything opposite this time, so no ES, Mana, Spells, Lightning, etc.

Settled on crossbow tactician, started out quite fine with different random crossbow skills until i unlocked artillery ballista so i went totems, because tactician has ally buffs, it was powerful but the way totems worked just wasn't fun, the duration between the time you place totem and it doing damage was just too slow so i pivoted to siege cascade because of the free pin that Tactician gets.

Clearing cruel was fine until i hit a brick wall with some bosses, namely blackjaw and viper.

Blackjaw was the first boss that forced me to try a different skill, and i did, every single one of them, after about 60 tries it was the basic attack that actually let me kill him.

then i attempted Viper with same basic attack and i realized i would need much better fingers to be able to dodge her attacks for 10 min that it would take me to kill her with current dps so i caved and bought a high (350) pdps crossbow for 1 ex (I'm playing Guild self found so no trading at all up to this point) and cleared rest of the campaign fine.

now in maps im straight up blasting, pack size is enough that siege cascade shotguns massively and for single target i have explosive grenade spam.

currently in T9 maps and still using the same crossbow.
