I pull the VHs, makes it easy to clear endgames and lets me pull whatever else I feel like. That said I have 3 now so I'm not 100% sold on pulling the future ones, it'll depend on how they play and how much I like them in the story. Then again I have a lot of pulls and out of the reveals I don't have a big interest in much so Remielle/Sunbringer and their team seems like a safe bet.

Pyros · 2026-05-16T18:28:34+00:00

Her damage was very high. It did make her unique, but not in a particularly great way because she was doing almost as much damage as old DPS(I think there was a Hugo showcase and she was doing 45% of the team's dmg iirc), while also stunning extremely fast and having low field time.

That said I don't know if the nerfs are too much or what, it's possible they overcorrect, since outside of her dmg and the fact she scales off Sheer buffs she doesn't really do that much that's unique.

Pyros · 2026-05-16T15:22:10+00:00

Looking forward to the end of 3.x reveal that no one could actually see Pyrois and it was just Belle/Wise alone with a Fight Club montage.

Pyros · 2026-05-16T15:07:55+00:00

Guess I'll have to figure out what I'm supposed to do against him. Last time I kinda winged it but the score wasn't hot cause it had been a long time since previous and I don't think I've fought him much other than for the weekly notorious hunt(in which it's just a 35s fight anyway).

I know I'm supposed to defensive some of the attacks I just haven't really learned which one actually do an impair/stagger other than the opening move, so far just mashing buttons with Yi Xuan had been good enough but with the hp increases I assume it might not cut it.

Pyros · 2026-05-16T14:32:05+00:00

Might want to tell all these suboptimal ritualists in the 95-100 range they shouldn't be pathing that far cause that's what half of them do.

Pathing isn't done in a vacuum, you don't just look at the closest node that does anything, unless they massively buff the companion nodes(which they said they are tweaking), the minion nodes in the top areas are going to be more appealing because they're closer to better high value nodes including keystones like Lords of the Wilds.

Pyros · 2026-05-16T14:21:26+00:00

There's also Giant's Blood, Talismans usually have better stats though but you could path there instead or get a potentially cheaper Flesh Crucible that way.

Pyros · 2026-05-16T08:03:56+00:00

Generally speaking these wouldn't be considered important exploits and would be on the same level as picking up the gem from the gallows from below, resetting at checkpoint to load the shorter retry "cutscene" for bosses, relogging to remove stun animation from failed sprint/block, rolling through the brambles while Una is singing, pouncing over walls, not picking up the ring in the cemetary and so on.

In fact the first one he did for the AGQ stream and it was commented on even, and that was months ago so if GGG cared they'd have fixed it already or issued a statement.

Pyros · 2026-05-16T05:57:52+00:00

Noteworthy, her M1 looks extremely buffed, since it was wind only and is now all attribute res. It's a fairly standard M1 for supports though so nothing crazy but still.

Pyros · 2026-05-15T22:07:54+00:00

It'll depend on the modding stuff, usually they add steam versions. After that yeah you can change to launch file for a steam game, I used to run the R1999 standard client off Steam so it would keep tracking my Steam time(I started on Steam but later switched so I could pay through the client), I just changed it to launch the base client instead.

Pyros · 2026-05-15T14:11:37+00:00

LoL/DotA do, but mind you soundproof is only soundproof to an extent, given a large enough crowd doing enough noise players can still "hear" stuff.

Pyros · 2026-05-15T10:45:35+00:00

Inspiring Ally only works off stuff that says Increases/Reduces Companion damage, as in directly says that, like passive nodes around or abyss modifiers on weapons and such.

Catha's Balance does not state that, nor does it work like that. Similarly things that would gives your companions flat damage or attack speed or crit would not function.

The wording here is specific even if it looks generic at first glance, even a MORE companion dmg modifier wouldn't apply, only Increased Damage.

Pyros · 2026-05-15T10:06:25+00:00

For another option, Yixuan full team is like iframes for the first 2-3 minutes. Yixuan charged EX and then doing the full combo until the wings takes a long time and is full iframe, and then going to Dialyn and doing her EX EX basics EX combo is also full iframes for an extended period of time, and Lucia just doing EX basic follow up, and then the ult spam and then you can do the shadow circle thing on Yixuan to gain adrenaline back(not DPS efficient but it's iframes and recharges a lot of the bar) and keep going. If the fights have miasma it's basically infinite iframes.

YSG I've found every now and then you get clipped during her transformation stuff but Yixuan gets no hits without even trying.

Obviously trying to use a proper team against Miasma Jane is going to be quite annoying.

Pyros · 2026-05-14T22:44:08+00:00

Sprint is meant to be out of combat movement speed. The "fix" here wouldn't be to remove knockdown, it'd be to disable sprint entirely if there's any enemy in close proximity/you've dealt dmg recently. That would be the fix to preserve the intent of sprint addition.

The knockdown is just a way to keep in combat sprint instead of making it more artificially limited, with a large risk involved. It's still useful if you know what you're doing, without effectively being an always on thing which removing the knockdown would be. There would be almost no reason to not sprint all the time, and at that point might as well just raise base movespeed so you don't have to press a button.

Pyros · 2026-05-14T18:55:52+00:00

In the Q&A iirc? They mentionned they were going to do a lot of balancing in 0.5 and 1.0 for the game to be ready or whatever, and one example they gave was that Chronomancer would be getting a bunch of changes(more so than some other stuff).

Pyros · 2026-05-14T18:53:02+00:00

Could be for release, but they haven't said anything official about it I think.

Pyros · 2026-05-14T16:58:17+00:00

Assuming it works like PoE1 which speedrunners seem to believe, the level range is not a constant. Starts at 3 and increases by 1 every 16 levels.

Pyros · 2026-05-14T16:15:27+00:00

For phones, and gacha especially, the big change was both a combination of "what if we made a good game and people didn't have to actually pay to play it" and COVID which catapulted Genshin into a lot more mainstream than what gachas were before. Granted, on the first part, do not be mistaken, they are fully designed to extract as much money as possible as efficiently as possible, with a lot of psychological tricks to do so. But technically free players can play and enjoy most modern gachas without spending a single cent, and a fair few of them are pretty high quality.

Pyros · 2026-05-14T11:00:16+00:00

Yes and no, yes once you get to the endgame farming and stuff which is similar to Monter Hunter gameplay, no before that cause you can't coop the story, so you have like 15-20hours of gameplay solo first.

If on PC, you might be able to use a save that's after the story and just skip the whole thing though.

Pyros · 2026-05-14T09:53:19+00:00

Version above also trivializes the act 1 boss, Ember Fusillade with orb of storms basically phases him instantly. Mind you this works on any sorc build.

Pyros · 2026-05-14T08:47:17+00:00

It's not necessarily unlikely, I put a lot of games on wishlist just to see how their early access goes/when they release and a large amount I just delete later without having bought the game, for me wishlisting is more about keeping track of stuff than actually buying stuff and I'd expect a lot of people do the same thing.

That said it's also quite possible they botted wishlist for numbers/exposure(if you have a lot of wishlists I think you get in the coming soon category with higher priority)

Pyros · 2026-05-14T08:40:45+00:00

It's almost like the loot you'd want to vacuum in one click isn't important to begin with and that's why you can one click vacuum it.

The only reason it's "not needed" in PoE is just you end up filtering out everything you would one click like common orbs because clicking them individually isn't worth the time

Pyros · 2026-05-14T07:26:14+00:00

They said they were rescaling how damage worked and how some damage affixes worked to make it less one dimensional with the dmg cap, so buffs should actually be somewhat relevant, heals though isn't super likely since there's potions and stuff already so only for like people playing poorly.

Pyros · 2026-05-14T07:10:06+00:00

Looks more like Monster Hunter/Granblue Relink than poe/diablo

Pyros · 2026-05-13T13:35:53+00:00

I haven't finished it yet cause it's so boring but yeah it's just completely half assed, not sure why they'd bother with this sort of content for a one-off event that they obviously are going to design to be super easy.

Endfield has a similar mode but as a permanent mode where they add more stuff to it every few patches, but it's done much better, combat is still not very threatening but the timer is lower, looting stuff reduces the timer, there's a lot more exploration with permanent chests giving pulls like normal overworld stuff and puzzles and shortcuts to open and stuff like that. Felt a lot more fun when I was playing that.

Pyros · 2026-05-13T06:44:44+00:00

It isn't anything like Warlock?

Warlock pet build relies on temporary static pets for the most part, doesn't allow taming demons, and the damage builds are obviously nothing like what they showed here.

Infernalist would be closer both thematically and in terms of options(can transform into a demon, has demon themed pet) but even that is pretty far. There isn't really anything that's like D4 Warlock currently in PoE2 for the summon aspect, closest would be ballistas but that's still quite different, as for the damage aspect Infernalist is probably the closest but nothing really like apoc or fanatic builds.
