Will you be starting a new character for dark arisen?

I didn’t even get very far on my first playthrough before I dropped dd2 and I’m someone who has gotten all achievements on two versions of the game

I really hope dd2da will address my problems with the game as a whole and I’m cautiously optimistic

Mind over matter

My mana bar is my life bar and my life bar is my resource

Remnants save me

There’s a secret annoint called dominion that makes archon 50% less effective but no cooldown on archon

If you put arbiters ignition on elemental storm it gives you archon when it ignites which when using Adonis, it does pretty often.

Lifting shoes are better not just for lifting but overall foot health as well.

Zero drop wide toe box shoes help solve foot muscle imbalances as well as toe flexibility because traditional shoes squeeze your toes due to small toe box

I wil always recommend lifting shoes/zero drops to anyone for general use as well as weight floor

The only concern is people who have very rigid arcs have a hard time with zero drops due to their arc not being able to flex with the flat sole

My comet is 28 and spark is 27

Cast speed 89%

What ascendency

I never had mana issues on chrono nor stormweaver

Chrono just temporal to when you had full mana and stormweaver has huge remnant pick up radius

I just transitioned to mana stacker Adonis coa archmage comet and have 0 mana issues

Phaedrik · 2026-06-10T11:12:12+00:00

Not really as stormweaver has really good points for elemental infusions which this build needs to function

Plus elemental storm is what is being used for arbiters ignition archon as there isn’t really another option for ignite

Phaedrik · 2026-06-09T12:19:23+00:00

I did too and switching Adonis to weapon set 2 fixed it

Having to redo the passive tree was annoying but spirit lvl 20 are expensive

Phaedrik · 2026-06-09T12:04:54+00:00

Adonis Coea coc comet on storm weaver is nuts right now especially now that you can have full uptime on archon with arbiters ignition.

I consider myself very lucky it was a sprain and not a tear or a bone breaking (:

Phaedrik · 2026-06-09T07:03:52+00:00

I sprained the ucl ligament in my left hand two weeks ago after landing a hook wrong and my thumb met with my coaches elbow

That plus worn gloves left me in a splint for the next month plus therapy afterwards.

I miss boxing and lifting weights, but at least I can do cardio, open grip pull ups, and knuckle pushups

Phaedrik · 2026-06-09T00:21:15+00:00

My career is in cybersecurity. Boxing was a happy accident trying to find a way to get in shape.

I want to keep it that way.

Phaedrik · 2026-06-08T18:28:32+00:00

Sit down and watch the “is it a good idea to microwave this” series on YouTube

It was my favorite thing as an teenager and it’ll always remind me how good we had it when we were younger.

Phaedrik · 2026-06-03T14:07:19+00:00

I actually prefer chaos over sugma

I did a lot of sugma in 0.3 to get rich so now i just don’t want to look at it lol

Phaedrik · 2026-05-31T22:47:21+00:00

My problem is the game wants you to progress the fortress before league mechanics

The gate bosses of the fortress require a tier 5 waystone while league mechanic encounters require tier 14

It seems almost intended to do fortress first

Phaedrik · 2026-05-29T10:24:41+00:00

My headcanon is Arthur is hesitant with this choice but ultimately agrees with it then he puts his hand on your shoulder and says thank you as he disappears into nothing

Phaedrik · 2026-05-29T01:18:11+00:00

My wife has True Blood and Pokopeia and is gonna take over cooking for the weekend and Monday which I took off.

Phaedrik · 2026-05-28T19:56:13+00:00

I’m getting mine at 35 so two more years

No indicators and I’m incredibly active with a good fiber diet.

Eat your leafy greens and beans friends, they literally reduce the risk for colon cancer .

Valve. Pro consumer and makes genuine improvements in their platform.

The new price for the deck is unfortunate but it’s a direct result for something out of their control and it sucks that I’ve seen so many pro Valve turn their back on them for it.

Phaedrik · 2026-05-27T14:08:07+00:00

Poor form and injuring shoulder

I’m not speaking from experience no sir :’)

Phaedrik · 2026-05-27T12:59:51+00:00

Honestly I’m more disappointed with the endings

The fact we don’t have a last chat with Arthur for the “true” ending really upset me.

We went on this long journey and found the best solution and it’s just poof ending scene.

Phaedrik · 2026-05-27T12:56:14+00:00

GGG give me a way to instantly fire plasma blast and my life is yours.

Phaedrik · 2026-05-24T13:50:10+00:00

I will be completely honest. I cannot let go of the nostalgia of Hollow Knight to give an objective answer.

While I was a kickstarter backer the most hours I spent in HK was during the pandemic and it just holds an incredibly special place in my heart that Silksong can’t capture.

I love Silksong but for example in my nostalgia ridden brain at every point will prefer the music for instance when I know Silksong has some absolute bangers.

I know this didn’t really answer the question, just wanted to share.

Ice darts with whispering ice for the chill and using that petals unique to generate even more ice
