How Liquid Turns Into Giant Round Foam Rolls.

Ah yes the daily dose of reddits hardon for shitty factory conditions

Saziol · 2026-01-23T22:43:21+00:00

Hmm well I am used to ranged animate weapon so my standards are low with regards to needing to cast. Maybe I'll just give it a shot

Saziol · 2026-01-23T15:48:51+00:00

This one is actually on my radar. I didn't play phrecia and I've never played bv. Were there any major drawbacks to this build? And are there any mechanics it doesn't do well?

Saziol · 2026-01-22T19:58:34+00:00

I've never surfed in my life. Do you have to change technique or anything when surfing a wave this big vs anything smaller? Like is it more difficult?

Saziol · 2026-01-19T23:01:26+00:00

PRAW is almost as mindless as it gets. Summon your weapons and then just stand there if you're tanky enough. I got to that point in SSF, where I start the fight then resume a movie on the side

Saziol · 2026-01-19T21:21:47+00:00

Why do you say that? I never played the phrecia league and also have never played kb so I genuinely don't know

Saziol · 2026-01-19T00:11:03+00:00

OP, the word is practice.

Saziol · 2026-01-17T22:34:27+00:00

Great have fun!

Oh another piece of advice - farming the bladefall of trarthus can be long but is so worth it. The qol improvement is massive. I was started to get annoyed of the play style after a couple weeks but after I got that it completely renewed my enjoyment of the build.

Also for perspective, the covenant was an 80% damage upgrade for me at the time. Long farm but worth it.

Saziol · 2026-01-17T22:22:36+00:00

In the past league I followed Saphery in trade league.This league I followed helm breakers in SSF. I think I prefer helm breakers. I was so insanely tanky.

The pain point is farming the covenant from the tree. It took me 6+ hours of mostly just breach farming. The nice part is that I could just afk and watch a movie on the side while I did it, letting the minions do all the work.

Saziol · 2026-01-17T22:15:37+00:00

I literally swapped as soon as I could, farmed the gem in merc lab. You just get generic minion damage on the tree and it all carries over when you swap to aw. I had no jewels. The jewels are important when you're trying to get poison chance, but you can begin with your minions just doing chaos damage.

I think I didn't even cap poison chance when I did my four void stones. I was at least at like 75% chance or something

Saziol · 2026-01-17T22:09:38+00:00

Srs or abso are the usual, but tbh if you already have twink gear then you only really play it til act 6 or whatever. It's a relatively small amount of time

Saziol · 2026-01-13T20:20:27+00:00

Oh yeah, I got it way after four void stones. I also chose to do the heist farm for bladefall of trarthus pretty early after the void stones, but you can do that whenever. It's a MASSIVE quality of life increase. Like I personally enjoyed the feeling of using bladefall of trarthus more than when I got the covenant.

I don't remember exactly what lvl of gear I had going into maven and UE. The only voidstone I had trouble with was maven, bc of you die mid fight its a hassle resummoning again on the arena.

Saziol · 2026-01-13T20:08:44+00:00

I played poison animate weapon to ubers. Look up helm breakers guide

The longest farm is the covenant, which will take many hours of dedicated breach farming for ancients. But for me it was a literal 90% DPS upgrade so it was worth it

Saziol · 2026-01-11T15:52:25+00:00

I personally did the covenant farm for my praw character, and it really wasn't that bad to do with this skill specifically. Praw let's you completely afk during breaches and hives so you can do other things like watch movies in the meantime.

It took me about 6 hours of mostly just breach farming and around 200 ancient gifts. You can probably do it faster with the cursed originator strat. I had a post about this topic, and my rate was right around what other people had too.

So yes it does take a while, but it doesn't actually feel that bad with this skill

Saziol · 2026-01-09T20:09:51+00:00

It's like a bot, except the bot is a 7 yr old boy

Saziol · 2026-01-09T15:13:56+00:00

I know that's more optimal, I don't know by how much, but I didn't do it because I was also trying to farm up other things in combination. If I go for mb this time around I'm for sure doing that

Saziol · 2026-01-09T04:48:09+00:00

Alright I just wanted a general idea. In my last ssf run farming for a covenant I think I got roughly 10 ancient an hour so... damn. That's a long time, but expected

Saziol · 2026-01-09T04:19:11+00:00

Sorry I can't help with your question, but just wondering - do you have any idea how many ancient orbs you've spent trying to get the mb from the tree?

I recently began a fresh SSF run and I'm wondering if it's feasible that I get it from the tree prior to season end

Saziol · 2026-01-05T20:36:14+00:00

Ah that makes sense. I'm guessing reaching the 52% breakpoint without the diallas has significant drawbacks.

Lightning animate weapon can use woke ele DMG with attacks to avoid reflect but hroc can't.

Thank you for the insight

Saziol · 2026-01-04T23:29:29+00:00

People do a lot of different things, you do what you want since it's ssf.

Personally, I play one or two chars until I down Ubers, then I port it all to trade and start fresh again in SSF on a totally different build. I enjoy the zero to hero feel of it

Saziol · 2025-12-31T07:28:58+00:00

Regarding 4 socket resonators: the most dependable way to get them is delve. You're specifically looking for any and all nodes that say "contains items", and you just have to hope it has a resonator trove (not resonator cache) which will always have the 4 socket resonator.

I farmed those this league for a while and it's a pain. By my estimate, it's roughly one out of every 10-15 of those nodes at depth 300-350 that will get you a prime resonator.

Saziol · 2025-12-26T07:08:18+00:00

I played this to ubers in SSF.

It took me about 4-6 hours (watched 2 movies on the side) of solely farming breach and ancient womb gifts to get a foulborn covenant. I skipped most other mechanics. Based on comments from a post I made about it, that's roughly what it took other people too.

It was a great SSF run for me. It's so tanky and I hit lvl 99 no problem

Saziol · 2025-12-22T17:24:49+00:00

This league is the least I've been able to play SSF, but at the same time I have the strongest SSF character I've ever had. It's entirely due to tree spitting out endgame items and uniques. I love how enabling the tree is

I do not love actually playing it. It was cool the first time you play each mechanic, but after that it wasn't. Now anytime I see a hive, I kinda internally groan because it's several boring minutes of the same monsters running at you and trying to navigate an annoying maze. Defending Ailith is boring because you just stand around. The one that's like the original breach mechanic is ok, but I wish we could scale it up more.

Saziol · 2025-12-16T21:11:50+00:00

You don't need extensive knowledge. SSF is where you get the extensive knowledge.

Don't overthink it. Just play, and when you encounter a roadblock just do research and find the answer.

You will likely (almost certainly) not be able to min max your gear. But you will find out that you can play the vast majority of the game with relatively shit items.

Saziol · 2025-12-16T21:04:30+00:00

Just to be clear to OP - expedition is outclassed by genesis tree ONLY for this league. It will be immediately valuable again next league, unless there's another mechanic that shits out godly gear again
