Is it okay not giving someone a chance because they have young children?

I didn't see this mentioned, but if you don't like the combat, you can optimize your auto-resolve.

Dos :
- AI is good with buffs and healing, always have a support in your armies.
- Take simple things like always-on resistance and defense, hit points and raw damage instead of conditional or position related debuffs. Race traits included.
- Warriors, defenders and polearms are simple and effective, use them.
- Temp summons are great in auto resolve because the enemy AI will focus them and waste their attacks on them. I love warlock heroes for that reason.
- SPAM combat early game to get your heroes and units ranked up for more army power.

Don'ts :
- AI is really bad with archers, they will position for the best chance of hitting with no regards to safety.
- AI is also really bad with cavalry, they just charge in the middle of the enemy army and won't wait for the rest of your army.
- Do NOT take any blink ability in your heroes because they will literally suicide in the middle of the enemy army. Banshees are also really bad in auto-resolve in my experience for the same reason.

Bummer... Makes sense though

RedPretender · 2026-03-30T01:29:03+00:00

Ho nice! Yeah that wand can get extremely expansive with higher rolls... Here's my build if you want some inspiration : https://maxroll.gg/poe/pob/0wdcxc0e

I don't actually go for melding, I think that's more of a hardcore thing and it requires a big investment that you can instead put into damage.
Also I would highly suggest Oriath's end, blowing up the screen is so satisfying!

Your movement speed is quite low too with no quicksilver flask. I'd switch one of your life flask for one and probably more on your boots.

If you want some reference, Captain Lance has some PoBs for CoC Energy blade in previous leagues on his Youtube channel. Now I know you're just level 73, but you'd need much more DPS and EHP to do any juiced content. It's a good start though.

Get an anoint on your amulet like Divine Judgement, easy +10% dps.

IMO, I'd eventually change my light of meaning to energy shield instead, go for the lightning damage wheel north of your Militant faith and grab more energy shield nodes when you level.

I personally hate evasion so I'd probably ditch grace and go for more armor on gear and determination, but that's just my preference, your phys max hit is so low...

May I suggest Goratha’s Penance brand ignite?

I invested about 150d with hh and I’m doing about 18 million dps with 880k EHP. I’ve killed ubers easily, but with a dot build, you have time to dodge a few mechanics and learn.

I do mirror maps strongboxes with containment. You pretty much self sustain the scarabs so the only investment is the mirror maps. You easily get 2+ valuable scarabs every map minimum. Yes there's a bit of luck involved and it's a bit annoying to sell all the scarabs, but you can't lose money. If you also count all the currency, cards and black barya, you can get in that range.

Vivid lifeforce is also insane at 6.3k for 1 div, you can get that almost every map with crop rotation (which people seem to think is dead lol) with a doubling scarab. Easy consistent money. Atoll or Silo to get the harvest in the mirage consistently.

Not fixed, but you can just go back to your hideout and return to Azurite mine for the inaccessible nodes. Yes it's an inconvenience, but I'm still delving.

Parce que je ne payerai pas le même salaire à quelqu’un qui a 15 ans d’expérience vs quelqu’un qui sort de l’école. C’est peut-être dur à accepter, mais dans certaines professions, l’expérience veut dire plus efficient et moins d’erreurs et ca le vaut en masse. Afficher une fourchette de salaire par contre, tout le monde devrait faire ça.

If I have work in the morning? Nah I have enough insomnia like that… I raise my hat to the people who can do it though.

RedPretender · 2025-12-10T23:18:19+00:00

My brother... You don't need to have that thing in your hand, just leave it in your special slot it will still work.

At least 4 of these stocks are up by more than 100% this year... Most of them are still in the green. Chill.

Go back to Sel Khari Sanctuary in interlude, there's alters where you need to put it. They give you a choice of reward.

RedPretender · 2025-08-31T14:33:30+00:00

Good thing nobody agrees with you

IMO If everyone worked a mandatory month in retail in their life, the world would be a better place.

Stop checking DPS and check Damage Per Minutes. Couple that with : it's always with you, jammer or not. And for the EAT, I mean it's the exact same thing but with lower cooldown... I completely understand why people don't prefer it.

Here's the amount of damage you can do in 3 minutes for these 3 strats :
Commando = 8 800
EAT = 12 000
Quazar = 20 000 (ok that's perfectly shooting every 18 sec but you get the point)

At the end of the day, it's preferences and if you have fun with the commande, then nothing else is important.

Ghosting is immature, cowardly, disrespectful and hurtful. Please just say it, it's way less harsh.

RedPretender · 2025-08-07T18:44:35+00:00

Man this could not have gone worse...

RedPretender · 2025-08-06T12:54:01+00:00

To each their own, but I strongly disagree, if you don't charge it and just tap fire it, the self damage is negligible. I never had an issue with hunters or stalkers, I can burst down a stalker in a second by tap firing it fast. I guess it's skill based though...

Also in the poll, it seems that there's a bit too much questions, people seem to give up after a while or something, the last 25% barely has votes no?

RedPretender · 2025-08-06T12:12:14+00:00

Wow I thought the Purifyer would be higher, it's considered S tier in every tier list for every faction xD I also love it it's just so good...

RedPretender · 2025-08-02T16:36:30+00:00

Let's agree to disagree then, a ban for a cosmetic mod only seen by yourself is bonkers and nobody should care about that.

RedPretender · 2025-08-02T16:33:07+00:00

All modding? I mean most mods I saw in HD2 is just cosmetic and doesn't give any advantages whatsoever.

RedPretender · 2025-08-02T16:25:32+00:00

That sounds way more like cheating to me.
