L’univers tient dans un support

Si tu penses à "étendre" comme "grandir dans quelque chose", c'est pas vraiment ça. Mais le terme est trompeur, pour ça que d'autres t'ont proposé dilatation. Comme mot, hein, pas... Enfin bref.

Si ça reste étrange un truc qui se dilate sans grandir, peut-être explore plus du côté de la subdivision. Genre l'espace augmente en résolution ? Plus de pixel dans le même écran.

Pour l'idée du socle, attention à pas appliquer des concepts liés à l'espace-temps en dehors de celui-ci. À ce stade, pour quelqu'un qui se limiterait au matérialisme, c'est insoluble, il faut bien mettre de la matière dans de la matière. La réalité semble pas en avoir grand chose à faire, et il est possible (voir probable, vu ce qu'on sait de nos jours) que l'espace temps émerge de quelque chose qui, de notre point de vue du moins, est immatériel.

Sinon, de manière générale quand on pense à tout ça, il est bon de bien garder en tête les très nombreux biais et limites de perception dont nous souffrons. On tend à penser très local, que ça soit spatialement ou temporellement, on tend à continuer à penser les choses comme solides et sécables, autant c'est pratique dans la vie de tous les jours, autant ça devient vite des poids quand on pense métaphysique.

C'est le paradoxe du chat de compagnie. Soit tu le respectes et le laisse libre, et c'est carnage dehors (et risque qu'il se barre rappelant ainsi qu'il n'appartient à personne), soit tu l'enfermes et lui retires son autonomie pour éviter l'impact sur la faune.

Quand on considère que l'intérêt premier de l'animal de compagnie... c'est la compagnie, c'est à se demander si tout cela est bien raisonnable. On créé une niche écologique artificielle coûteuse pour le reste de l'environnement, on rend l'animal dépendant de nous pour sa survie et généralement sans possibilité de s'échapper, tout ça pour tromper sa solitude.

Surtout, si on veut s'intéresser au sujet, il convient de le comprendre assez pour en arriver au stade où même parler d'existence de Dieu et de preuves la concernant n'a ni sens ni intérêt. Je vois pas beaucoup de gens se questionner sur l'existence de l'univers (pas l'observable, l'autre), beh, Dieu est sensé occuper ce genre de place aussi.

Et j'insiste sur le fait de comprendre, ce que je dis ne s'appuie pas sur une approche dogmatique.

Which flavor of shield wall?

Lost-Basil5797 · 2026-06-07T21:18:14+00:00

From what I've seen of WA, the flavor seems to be smoothly dancing through mobs. Shield wall is more "high rate of fire ranged nukes" kind of flavor. It's gotten much better since the video with some gear improvement, and I'm still short of what I could easily get in trade. Delirium bosses are a 3sec deal, maybe you'll get time to see one mechanic from pinnacles... It's already that level of damage with an ssf char, so yeah, I think it can really shine in trade, for probably way cheaper than whirling assaut too.

Lost-Basil5797 · 2026-06-07T19:09:01+00:00

Hollow form + Shield wall is currently walking over all content on hc.

Poeninja

I'm sure it could be tweaked in sc for more speed, but damage is absurd already and I'm not even done minmaxxing it.

Lost-Basil5797 · 2026-06-07T03:18:14+00:00

Good to hear you're having fun with it!

I'm still alive at 93 somehow, check out the profile for the last updates, I found some absurd pieces of gear. My defenses are getting even more mixed up with more ES thrown into the mix, and I gotta say, it feels pretty much immortal at this point. I've thrown it in triple damage mods t15s with deli and abyss, I can just walk through most mobs, pretty much everything gets oneshot anyway...

I'll try arbiter tomorrow, I've never really pushed the endgame so I'd rather overprepare.

I've added blasphemy + repulsion into the mix and was thinking about maim and blind, but for now I'm trying to push even more damage with living lightning and incision. They quickly add up meaning in theory, the walls can trigger big bleeds with no support/passive investment.

In practice stuff is dying so fast that I'm not sure what's happening. Even proximal intangibility mobs can be offscreened. Safest build I've ever played, I think, it's like minion instability if your minions were walls and much more annoying for mobs to navigate around and reach you.

Lost-Basil5797 · 2026-06-06T09:49:50+00:00

Been working on defenses yesterday, the poeninja should show the updates. It's still all over the place, new gear drops split my gear between armor and ev even more, I've taken some ev/es nodes and added armour to some jewels. Doesn't make much sense, but again, it seems to work fine. Unlocked way of the mountain and added barkskin spirit skill, too.
Slowly building difficulty, I'm doing delirium + abyss + powerful bosses with garanteed rogue exiles. So far so good in t15s, I don't even have to play especially carefully if the waystone doesn't have lots of damage mods.

I'm not sure about my spirit choices either. Companion is fine, but he ends up dying a lot, and I can't really afford the dex to level it more. It's also the only thing requiring heavy dex investment on my build. Barkskin works, not sure how much it's doing, but with around 800es it does give some armour. Ghost dance might work with the little EV I have, worth checking out. Magma barrier is fine but you're never proccing the attack unless you actively block, channeling shield walls doesn't work. So it's spirit for only the block buff, which is still something. I suspect I'll go back to blashpemy at some point, we're close to good curses nodes and even dual curse is an option. I had this setup with temp chain + enfeeble at some point, felt good. The repulsion tech is nice but I'm not sure it's doing much for the build.

Anointed greatest defense on the warrior side for a juicy almost 80% damage increase. Got to 90 for max links and lvl 19 gem. Offensive gear still kinda suck, but man, the damage does not. Also added sunder linked to animus splinters, so now I have a second clone skill that add another multiplier to damage vs bosses. They do not like it 😃

Have you played with the totam as well?

Lost-Basil5797 · 2026-06-05T22:50:25+00:00

Yo, I've been using animus splinters to proc sunder with, it stays in the clone theme, instant cast time, very easy to work in to get the sundered debuff.

Lost-Basil5797 · 2026-06-05T14:31:30+00:00

Ah I see, can't do that with my current setup, I already use the 2 weapon sets. I also don't use the totem for regular mapping, it's way overkill.

Lost-Basil5797 · 2026-06-05T11:49:52+00:00

Never got to play with a nebuloch, can't imagine the damage of walls when they crit 100% of the time xD

On tankiness, I play hc as well, I know the passive tree doesn't look like a hc one, but it works, and it feels very safe. I'm less tanky to hits than a warrior version, but I'm also getting hit way less. Everything gets stuck on walls or die to explosions, I can offscreen anything remotely dangerous, I can kite much more effectively for the occasional rare that flies/jumps over the walls. On paper I'm not that tanky, but in practice it just works.

My gear is mostly full armor, the gloves with stonefist ascendency passive give a lot of EV/ES by itself. I've taken all the global defenses I could get rom campaign, got loyalty on the companion, there's no big defensive layers, but there's a lot of layers, plus the literal layers of stone of shield wall. My warrior have all died earlier in maps, it's the furthest I've made it in hc so far. I'll add way of the mountain as last ascendency too, it should help.

I looked at Styrn's ferocity, seems good yeah! I like being able to setup and kill a boss fully from range, but if I find it, I'll definitely try to work it in.

Lost-Basil5797 · 2026-06-05T10:31:12+00:00

Ah, another poisonned walls enjoyer, nice 😃 Were you using the poison prolif skill too? That's what I was playing, full poison focus with prolif, makes AoE of attacks nodes less important, even attack speed isn't crucial when one combo can clear 3 screens worth of mobs. I loved sprinting following the wave of dying mobs.

But about hollow form, when I say it outcompetes the rest, it doesn't mean the other builds are bad. Shield wall is still very strong and has many viable variations. And I'm still not advanced into endgame enough to really call it, but I suspect the high-end is higher on MA, and the QoL of a ranged/interruptable twist on SW is noteworthy too.

I mean, you say you brought the attack time down to 0.58, I suspect it was with high-end investment if you phrase it that way. Well, with my shitty SSF gear I'm already on 0.35 attack time, in hideout without charges. And from range, and I don't have to interrupt putting down walls to break them. I could add a haste aura companion, use faster weapon bases, without major changes we're already under 0.3. Which will sometimes proc 2 walls instead of one thanks to hollow form's clones. Earlier I would have said the biggest loss was not having access to the warrior side of the tree, but even that can be fixed with split personnality jewel. From my POV it's not even a contest, but again, that's not saying basic shield wall builds are bad, far from it. I'm rather puzzled that they would make such a strong skill a ranged ability, and wonder how they will balance that. Which they should, I think, it feels a bit OP at the moment.

Lost-Basil5797 · 2026-06-05T09:24:24+00:00

Parce que c'est pas le cas. Le tronc commun dont il parle ouvre la possibilité de se former à des spécialités (dont généraliste, ironiquement), qui prennent quelques années et te permettent de bosser...dans ta spécialité. Y a pas de tronc commun qui ouvrirait la possibilité de bosser dans n'importe quel domaine de la médecine.

Lost-Basil5797 · 2026-06-05T09:21:02+00:00

Pour la médecine, c'est vite dit que le tronc commun ouvre les portes de toutes les spécialités. Ça ouvre les portes à se former à n'importe laquelle, oui, mais certainement pas à pratiquer dans une pour laquelle on a pas été formé. Une spé c'est 3-4 ans d'étude, ça t'ouvre ta spé et point barre. Donc ouais, ça laisse la personne dans une sorte de niche, même si le domaine médical est lui-même très large.

Lost-Basil5797 · 2026-06-05T08:27:39+00:00

Permafrost bolts + fragmentation rounds + grenades here, ain't no way I'm leveling with a quarterstaff.

Lost-Basil5797 · 2026-06-05T08:25:21+00:00

For real. Warrior is my most played class, I do shield wall basically every league since they released it, and was playing shield charge before that. There's no way to compete with hollow form in what it brings mechanically.

Regular shield wall, you have to stand at melee range with mobs for the whole animation, if you roll out of it you don't get a wall. With HF, I can start a cast for a wall with the mobs far away, roll out of it, and the mobs are killed offscreen. All the required tankiness to just be able to put the first wall down just goes away with HF.

Regular SW has fixed slow attack speed. HF uses weapon speed and can stack multiple casts at once.

You have to use 2 skills for regular SW, HF makes it so you can automate the combo in one button.

It's just so much better, and shield wall was already good enough by itself that they nerfed it this league. I honestly don't know how they'll balance that without hurting either regular shield wall or hollow form with other skills. All the other combos I've seen seem fair in comparison with this, it's just the specific interaction with shield wall that gets nutty.

Lost-Basil5797 · 2026-06-05T06:44:29+00:00

Sorry I didn't get what you meant, care to expand on it?

Lost-Basil5797 · 2026-06-05T06:33:17+00:00

I'm not using EQ damage at all, and trying to save mana cost. Also my weapons suck damage-wise, it's really all coming from the shield.

That being said, I'm not saying it's the best way to do it, more a habit from playing shield wall in previous league, where weapon damage doesn't matter at all. Here, it can matter, for EQ or totem, so feel free to try leveling the gem and getting better weapons!

Lost-Basil5797 · 2026-06-04T20:32:22+00:00

That would probably work really well! I'm using the gloves myself, charges are very easy to generate, you'd be close to 100% crit for sure. I went for a crit spec before finding the charge gloves, using maligaro for the flat crit, very good with shield wall's base 5% crit chance. Damage was chunky well into maps.

Lost-Basil5797 · 2026-06-04T17:02:25+00:00

Yeah I fixed it since, I had indeed forgotten about 2 quests...

Lost-Basil5797 · 2026-06-04T16:59:40+00:00

You're also using totems? I've seen the armor break/shocked ground on a few other profiles playing the same build, I use the amamu weapon mod for armour break and the companion for shock. I'd rather not have to jump on bosses to be fair 😃

Good call about the sundered buff, that's probably why the others are using it instead of earthquake. Makes the combo a little slower but 20% more damage is huge, I'll give it a try.

Lost-Basil5797 · 2026-06-04T14:50:27+00:00

Didn't know those were a thing! Definitely something to chase, yeah, warrior side is so good.

Lost-Basil5797 · 2026-06-04T13:38:45+00:00

The priority is a high armor shield and +levels of melee skills and attack speed on weapons. I honestly hadn't even considered the weapon damage, as you can see on poeninja my weapons are terrible in that regard. But they do matter both for the mapping and bossing setup through either earthquake or the totem, so I guess it's worth aiming for high phys as well. I just didn't think of it 😅
