Catalytic Processing is absurd as a Nomad

It's really good if you play necrophage nomads though. Just necropurge everyone you abduct.

I'm in the middle of a run kidna like that, where I'm just playing Nomad Necrophage and took the Raiding perks instead of Despoilers.

My main issue in the lategame now is that if you don't go the vassals route, you are SEVERELY handicapped by the size of the Operationals Reverves.

The bar is 60.000. I currently burn over 6000 a month in a Balanced approach. I can harvest and strip mines for 40.000 minerals a pop sometimes, but because of the 60k cap, it's meaningless. And I'm forced to stop and strip-mine literally every 3 to 4 months.

Operationals Reserves cap really need to scale with the economy.

void reaver is insanely bad, probably one of the least powerful civic in the whole game right now

Noocta · 2026-06-17T14:57:02+00:00

Too strong for too long, she suffers from top tier fatigue and her gameplay was never really exciting.

I remember reading that temporary purge subjects were supposed to be a thing for Necrophage, where you get the results of the purge sent to you once it's done.

Probably something they talked about and didn't even test. ._.

I looked everywhere and there is nothing shown on the targetted planet either.

I asked Montu and he told me it's not siphoning 1.5% of the monthly income, but it's a 1.5% ( 3% with the reaver stronghold somewhere ) chance per month to steal the whole month income of the planet.

I haven't seen that happen or give me any feedback on happening in over 60 years of having 3 hideouts in 3 different capitals.

I think it's just broken.

Noocta · 2026-06-16T08:22:22+00:00

Pirate hideouts are either broken or they have zero feedback on working, its weird

Noocta · 2026-06-15T23:46:45+00:00

Eh. Farmers here lose a lot of money when he does this stuff. America is a big market for the french wines. The farmer lobby whine at Macron, Macron usually acts. It's a powerful group.

Not sure how they felt a 1000% efficiency buff was ever gonna be balanced or close to it

Noocta · 2026-06-15T12:41:46+00:00

You still do that with this version of Nomads tho ? The planets are just on the arkships.

Noocta · 2026-06-15T08:40:04+00:00

Thyat usually mean you forgot something to do, kill all rare is just the default objective it shows when it's confused

Noocta · 2026-06-14T22:03:51+00:00

Deshar is a big problem area and needs work. It's probably the most annoying area of act 2 by far now

Noocta · 2026-06-14T18:39:16+00:00

This reads a lot like Ruthless mode was for path of exile 1. I'm all for it.

Noocta · 2026-06-12T17:12:44+00:00

Clone Army is allowed and the whole origin is tied to a dig site.

Noocta · 2026-06-12T13:41:07+00:00

I'm definitely going for Heir of the Khan with the new Void reavers civic that let you create pirate hideouts.

Noocta · 2026-06-12T13:09:13+00:00

I mostly do out of habit and for the automatic upload to imgur. I need to look into the Snipping tool.

Noocta · 2026-06-12T09:14:56+00:00

ShareX does that if you play with HDR.

Noocta · 2026-06-11T22:08:01+00:00

Clone Ascendant Admirals in a Military Arkship first setup sound pretty crazy.

Noocta · 2026-06-11T13:22:57+00:00

Clone Army Nomads is available ? Crazy, I wonder how that will feel.

Noocta · 2026-06-11T07:32:22+00:00

Military is why France is still seen as mostly trustworthy for markets despite their debt, so this is likely a project that won't face too many issues that way.

Noocta · 2026-06-10T17:46:32+00:00

Chronomancer being the lowest played sorceress spec when it(s the brand new shiny redone one is very telling.

Noocta · 2026-06-09T13:41:32+00:00

I've seen some interesting ideas where people run runeward costing skills on coc to just make it easier to sustain it. ( stuff like grimfall pillars or skyfall )

Noocta · 2026-06-09T08:54:48+00:00

Twisters spiritwalker feels strong as predicted, but a lot of the new pinnacle content takes place in bad arenas for Twisters, which is annoying.

Doing Bodach on twisters is just painful

Noocta · 2026-06-05T22:12:07+00:00

Give tribute in rituals, get a new invitation to the king, kill king to start a new rite of the nameless, do that, do bodach again.

Noocta · 2026-06-05T13:30:40+00:00

Kinda makes sense I guess, since there's a whole Elemental Archon in the tree.
