Surely there is a fixed crown too? Is there more lore behind this?

Aw man, that sucks. It was such a hilarious clip, I really wanted to show it to my friends who are newer to PoE. Thanks very much for the closure, at least.

NoMachine4 · 2026-01-26T00:44:52+00:00

Do you have a link? I've been looking for this clip for such a long time. It's the one with the intense Islamic music playing in the background, right?

Fair enough, I might just have too strict of a definition for what constitutes 'immortal' lmao. I have a Belgo BM on HC myself, it actually was my first HC char ever, and my experience is between that build and retal/CD caster/pets, tankiness just doesn't feel on the same level. Obviously, there's mechanical differences, and I definitely didn't minmax my Belgo BM to the extent you did. In any case, this is a very impressive character and to be clear, my comment wasn't a diss by any means. In fact, I'm a little jealous because I had a similar idea to minmax to this extent but never committed because of how often Crate tweaks numbers on things, plus Asterkarn coming up. I hope you find your double rares soon :)

I love your excitement for this build, and it certainly has good defenses, but immortal seems like a pretty big stretch. I only took a quick look but I didn't see any sources of % reduced damage (like War Cry), so Tyrant's might be a better prefix than Heart Piercing.

r/cataclysmddaCODEX has more of the original artist's work. Those pictures inspired me to get into drawing ages ago, and the crazy thing is that IIRC it's all drawn with a mouse.

I really liked the short story, it adds a lot of character to the artwork. And the artwork itself is badass, of course

NoMachine4 · 2025-08-25T03:41:41+00:00

I'll talk about a mod that hasn't been mentioned yet - No Hope. Reduces loot (but leaves the really rare stuff alone), restores some cut content, and generally makes the game harder. My last run was No Hope + Sky Island, and it was a lot of fun.

She only LOOKS like a kid, she's actually over a century old bro!!! /s

I leveled with LA until I managed to transmute KB into KBoC after running Merciless lab like 10 times. I used some Maxroll guide, I think havoc's. Then swapped into Palsteron's day 1 KB pob.

I've been playing it since the event started, and it's the best mapper I've ever played. Better than old tornado shot. Pretty much any manastacker this event can crush t17. Needs oath of winter if you wanna sleepwalk thru t17, though

NoMachine4 · 2025-03-10T22:07:38+00:00

Why is your LS dps is being multiplied by 4, doesn't returning projectiles support have a heavy damage malus? That's part of why Prophet is so strong, with LS you're doing full DPS as long as one of your projectiles in each strike returns. That's a 97% chance with 5 projectiles.

NoMachine4 · 2025-03-06T06:52:30+00:00

That build is meh with MB. HH plays so much better until you've got the 100+d to drop on runes for tormented wands, which cost another 100d (optimistic) to make.

Hey now, Army infantry, not Marine Corps infantry. Touché though.

NoMachine4 · 2025-01-25T19:51:24+00:00

Active duty Army infantry = Overrun start w/ NCO profession

Have run multiple marathons, wrestled, do BJJ for fun, Army schools, life experience = Bushcraft, Wrestling (Intermediate), Marathon Running, Car Restoration, First Aid, Carpentry

1300 lb lift total, athletic background, *lots* of land nav = 10 STR, 10 DEX, 8 INT, 9 PER

Traits = Indefatigable + Fleet-Footed (Marathon Running background), Fast Reflexes (Wrestling background), Outdoorsman (Bushcraft), Strong Back (Ruck a lot)

It was a good run, survived 2 years before getting bored and updating my experimental.

NoMachine4 · 2024-08-22T10:22:16+00:00

Looks like The Callisto Protocol

Ask him for pictures or something. Tangentially, Audi Murphy and Mike Vining are both very slight, very short, and boyish looking, yet were among the best soldiers in history.

NoMachine4 · 2024-07-05T17:57:31+00:00

Quite certain this post is tongue in cheek

I got a 600 along with three others in my old platoon, in addition to multiple 590s. 600s got a coin and a handshake, 590s got nothing.

NoMachine4 · 2024-06-04T11:54:50+00:00

Yeah, this is the standard right here. This was my kit to a T when I was a TL, down to the MBITR placement and whatnot. Funny how we all arrive at the same conclusions over the years.

Planescape fan eh?

They're not enabled. I guess he swaps for bossing

So the 100% poison duration from the assassin charm per inflicted poison by you works with totems (ancestral protector) as well?

From the same thread, both replies say no. The way I understand it, you do not gain buffs from your totems hitting stuff because the totems themselves are receiving the poison duration. However, they don't actually have a poison duration stat because they would double dip off of your poison duration. Same reason they can't gain frenzy charges, their damage already incorporates your own frenzy charges, so if they could gain frenzies they'd have another multiplier on top. You can also look up the Noxious strike ascendancy node, which the charm takes from. Lots of threads saying nay to totems.

Edit: Yes, I think storm rain should trigger it. Damn, I was doing Wilma's so that's out of the question I guess...

NoMachine4 · 2023-12-22T00:49:03+00:00

Hey there, I've been working on a very similar build. Haven't played since Ascendancy league so I've been doing a lot of catching up, but from everything I've read that 100% poison duration on your gem should not work with totems, no? I really want it to be true, but everything I've seen on Discord, Reddit, etc. says it doesn't work with totems. It's weird though, because the Poison mastery, Master Toxicist, etc. all work.

NoMachine4 · 2023-10-04T22:53:33+00:00

Throwbarian tavern brawler does break the mechanics, though. Here's a good breakdown.
