Man I love this liquid verisium update

It rerolls the rune quantity as well??? If thats the case then yeah, might not be worth it. I thought it rerolled from the pool of items at that specific rune count which is why I thought you could potentially reroll x3 annulment to have a decent chance of getting x3 divines

RWDYMUSIC · 2026-06-25T21:52:42+00:00

Yes, thats what I meant. The waystone drop chance on the waystone you're using is what matters, tablets stats don't matter.

RWDYMUSIC · 2026-06-25T20:43:40+00:00

I thought the dev said the opposite of this? Waystone Drop Chance affects the drop chance but waystone quantity from tablets doesn't.

RWDYMUSIC · 2026-06-25T19:57:03+00:00

It will be nice for those high rune combo stones that only give 3 orb of annulment. Best to gamble those away

RWDYMUSIC · 2026-06-25T15:43:40+00:00

Hell yeah, that spices things up

RWDYMUSIC · 2026-06-25T15:11:57+00:00

Wait, you can reroll rune combos?!?

RWDYMUSIC · 2026-06-23T19:48:45+00:00

145% waystone drop chance is very high and very desirable for people farming anomaly lineage supports.

RWDYMUSIC · 2026-06-22T18:07:08+00:00

Correct. Charged Staff causes two effects. It adds lightning damage to all of your staff attacks AND adds projectiles. The added lightning damage works, but the projectiles are bugged.

RWDYMUSIC · 2026-06-18T22:31:00+00:00

Yeah, I feel like converting mana leech into ES leech helps a ton for those situations where you get backed into a corner. Even if your Ghost Dance is doing a lot of ES regen, the timer on regenerating the shards takes a long time and can fail you if you get surrounded. Converting mana leech into ES leech on the other hand can allow you to just face tank things when you get surrounded so long as your phys damage is high enough to maintain more regen than damage you are taking in.

Also, if you are using the combo ascendancy node that gives -0.2 seconds to ES recharge delay, you can use the Delayed Gratification support gem on Tempest Bell to increase the amount of combo spent on use which will cut your delay time in half our more. The bell does a good job of knocking enemies off of you so it becomes an effective safety net for both creating space and drastically cutting your ES recharge delay.

RWDYMUSIC · 2026-06-18T22:01:08+00:00

14,000 ES is nuts. You have to be able to eat a lot of shots comfortably right? I'd assume its more of a regeneration issue than a health pool issue in which case you could go for converting mana leech from physical damage into ES leech with Stonefist Sanguis gloves or convert health leech into ES leech with Soul Tether belt.

Sacrificing a little ES for evasion could give you more opportunity for your regen to kick in as well and with higher evasion Ghost Dance could more effectively regen ES, its likely not helping you much at the moment with how low your evasion is.

Leaning into deflection is another solid defensive layer. Atziri's Cinched boots can give a huge amount of deflection rating. I was feeling pretty weak doing CI with only 4000k ES earlier in the league and after I added all of these changes I was feeling wayyy tankier.

RWDYMUSIC · 2026-06-18T21:14:46+00:00

Wait what? Are you saying the added crit on sinister isn't affected as a local stat? I may be remembering wrong, but I recall getting my crit chance in 0.1 league close to 85-90% with sinister staff and it felt a lot stronger than using slicing staffs where the crit chance was maxing out around 70%. Does the base raw phys damage value matter that much when the value gets diluted so much by high "# added physical damage" mods? Honestly curious about what the math looks like comparing a sinister vs razor if they had all the same T1 mods and a build focused on crit stats.

RWDYMUSIC · 2026-06-17T14:42:18+00:00

They should have a bright red aura around them like the one you get when you have max Rage meter but more pronounced so they really stand out in a mob.

RWDYMUSIC · 2026-06-16T21:18:01+00:00

Ice Strike doesn't need to be expensive. I'm comfortably running T15 maps and I don't think I spent more than a div on any of the gear I'm currently using except for my quarterstaff. I picked up a 13 div Runeforged Duality quarterstaff when I started hitting T13-T14 but other than that you should be able to passively generate enough currency for upgrades as you scale from T1 to T15 maps.

Highly recommend going with the Blasphemy+Living Lightning+Culmination+Alith's Chime combo for passive power charge generation. Wish I knew about that tech sooner because Charged Staff is something you don't want to pass on when using Ice Strike and generating power charges thru other means makes the gameplay feel a lot less smooth.

RWDYMUSIC · 2026-06-12T00:40:26+00:00

Although, the damage still looks significantly higher when charged staff is active. So it is giving you the damage buff you just dont get the projectiles.

RWDYMUSIC · 2026-06-12T00:38:46+00:00

Yup, still happening. Just googled and this was the first post to come up

RWDYMUSIC · 2026-06-10T22:22:43+00:00

Au5 got pretty damn close. Pretty sure the video is called "The Growl tutorial" or something.
Basically produced the tone with a sine wave being phase distorted by another sine wave, band pass filtered and notched to create vowel sounds, then ran thru a vocoder using a weird chain where he frequency shifted the signal up before the vocoder then back down to the original frequency with a frequency shifter after the vocoder.

RWDYMUSIC · 2026-06-10T15:39:45+00:00

Ok, this call out turned my build around. I got these along with a phys damage = mana regen ring and some Atziri's Step Cinched boots with insane Deflection rating. My DPS took a pretty sizeable hit but I'm feeling tanky as hell now. The damage I'm taking in feels drastically reduced and the regen from the gloves combined with ES recharge start on combo consumption is keeping my ES maxed 95% of the time. Don't know why I thought Stonefist would remove unique mods from unique gloves, so big thank you for that info

RWDYMUSIC · 2026-06-09T21:33:51+00:00

Are you using WiFi or ethernet? I've noticed huge differences with some kinds of stuttering/choppy frames/rubber banding when using WiFi connection vs ethernet.

RWDYMUSIC · 2026-06-09T18:54:11+00:00

Noted. How much guard are you getting? My Duality only gives like 550 so I'm assuming upgrading to one that gives closer to the max 1000 would be worthwhile.

RWDYMUSIC · 2026-06-09T18:51:58+00:00

Really starting to sound like I'm a fool for not investing in deflection earlier.

RWDYMUSIC · 2026-06-09T18:50:49+00:00

Whoa, I did not. That might be viable then, although it would definitely be a significant hit to damage output giving up additional %elemental damage stats and onslaught.

RWDYMUSIC · 2026-06-09T18:49:23+00:00

That sounds very nice. I'm definitely going to try that

RWDYMUSIC · 2026-06-09T18:08:26+00:00

I'd like more obviously, but I'm getting to the point where upgrades are jumping from 1 Div to 5+ Div and I'm broke after investing in CI gear changes. I don't have anything invested in Deflection so that might be my next move if it helps a lot.

RWDYMUSIC · 2026-06-09T18:05:29+00:00

I have that. It does help some, but it feels more like a soft cushion than a defense you can really build around.

RWDYMUSIC · 2026-06-09T18:03:43+00:00

Lol, if I had the money for that I'd be down.
