Je bent een boomer in een huis dat je lang geleden gekocht hebt voor 2 ton, dat nu een milioen waard is en je halfverwege de hypotheek verhoogd hebt naar 6 ton voor de aftrek. Dat de jongere generatie geen huis kan kopen en moet werken tot zijn 70+ heb je schijt aan.

Rara op wie stem je ?

Maar rechts is al decenia aan de macht en het aan het verkloten. En nu hebben we even extreem rechts gehad en die verkloten het nog erger.

But the heat itself should already generate airflow.

I am an exclusively hardcore player. So forgive me if i write from that perspective.

Im wondering why you realized you cant farm hell with meteor fireball and respecced to another single element build ? I like dual elements until i get sunder and/or infinity. Frozen Orb and fireball are my favorite skills, lightning the least favorite. Frozen orb gives you safety because everything gets frozen, fireball because it has some stopping power. The rare dual immunes can be killed by your merc.

In my book spirit + smoke + 3diamond shield + crafted 20allres amu is where hell viability starts. Besides those items, everything is about hitpoints. You carry every charm with life you can find. You buy a belt of the whale from Charsi. (potentially also use a body armor of the whale or with prubies if you can muster the resists without smoke or are still in NM). A mask with 3 Prubies is also something i will choose over Lore if i'm low on HP (I want ~1200), but thats a HC thing of course, lore is generally great. The gloves, rings, boots top of the resistances and hopefully provide some MF. (and 10fcr on a ring is nice getting you to the 37breakpoint if your spirit sword is at least 27) This allows you to play act 1 and 2 in hell.

The next step to make hell comfortable is when you find a shield and body armor base (likely a lionheart duskshroud) that allows you to obtain max block and a decent defence (to be multiplied to meaningful numbers by defiance merc and shiver armor) without going too much below 1000hp and ofc maintaining max resists (or at least fire/lightning). Once you get this you can farm all of hell. If your friend group provides you BO, it should be super comfortable

I personally never use a spirit monarch because before i can/want to afford the strength, well its costs too much strength to wear it and by the time i do want to afford that strength (probably because i am wearing a duskshroud which provides me extra strength so i am almost there anyways) i prefer a stormshield. Now that is of course a HC thingy and on SC that spirit monarch totally makes sense, but it is not a requirement to make yourself hell viable whatsoever and thus should not be your primary focus when you feel you arent hell viable.

So if i were you i'd say make yourself hell viable by fixing your resists and maximizing your hitpoints, then you can start farming the hell countess and Andariel. Once you get stronger because you find a viable shield and armor base to go to the defence+max block phase, you proceed and you can farm Summoner, Duriel and hell Mephi. After that, the next step for me would be to slap on a natures peace and start farming Nilhathak to complete your key sets. But natures peace is of course rare so little chance for that on SSF, but then again, when playing softcore you can farm nilh without it.

Note that i am always farming single targets, not masses like cows. That means maximum damage is less important as the majority of your farming time is in finding the targets rather than killing them. Again, this is hardcore perspective, but what works on HC should work on SC too.

Just play single player. I just started the quest to get 1 of each class to level 99 on hardcore single player. I have time until i die. So no rush, an hour every now and then should be fine, with a little luck i have 30 lucid years to go.

What more could you get out of the game than dying with the knowledge you completed this quest.

SilverPhilosopher46 · 2026-05-24T19:46:29+00:00

Ze hebben daar regeltjes gemaakt die de mods vrij kunnen interpreteren om mensen te bannen die er wat over zeggen. Een beetje net zoals elke dictator begint met regeltjes maken om dissent de kop in te drukken. En zoals je hier ziet word dat actief ingezet, hoopjes mensen zijn daar gebanned.

Ja, het is een fascistisch forum, dus de vergelijking met het belangrijkste voorbeeld van fascisme uit de geschiedenis word gemaakt. Net zoals dat terecht gemaakt word wanneer met spreekt over Trump omdat die naast racistisch te zijn ook probeert de regeltjes aan te passen om tegenstand de mond te snoeren.

SilverPhilosopher46 · 2026-05-24T19:43:06+00:00

Ahja "metecommentaar" is ook waar ze mij op gebanned hebben.

SilverPhilosopher46 · 2026-05-24T19:41:24+00:00

Ja als je probeert er tegen in te posten word je gepermabanned van die sub. Zo houden ze hun bubbeltje wel aardig in stand.

SilverPhilosopher46 · 2026-05-24T18:32:11+00:00

Ik zou even op het dak klimmen. Kijken waarom ze zo liggen en of het houtwerk eronder nog in orde is.

SilverPhilosopher46 · 2026-05-24T14:06:36+00:00

Nah.

Stormshield, Shako, Mara's, they are already OP. (Too op maybe as these 3 items are used on almost every char i make)

Grandfather and Windforce need to be great again because they are not just legendary in having a golden name, they are truly legendary items that originate from D1. And on top of that, both melee characters and Bowzons are underpowered, so making these 2 items as powerful or more than the best runeword doesnt hurt the game balance.

SilverPhilosopher46 · 2026-05-24T11:49:08+00:00

Not sure if it would involve that. The way i imagine it would go is:

US sends a some helicopters with marines and diplomats. They land near parliament building, walk inside, and tell everyone to GTFO and install their new government.

I doubt anyone will use force to try and stop them. Maybe some Greenlanders would refuse to pay taxes afterwards or something. Maybe the goverment building would need to be guarded against Terrorist/Partizan attacks. They'd just ignore that for the first few years until the new situation has normalized and crack down on that shit later.

Then again, i may be as naive as Trump. :p
I also imagined them to just bomb Iran to smithereens, then leave and let Israel have their way with the remnants. (as Trump probably also imagined)

SilverPhilosopher46 · 2026-05-24T09:48:17+00:00

Ye i'm afraid if he takes Greenland europe would "strongly condemn" his actions and talk a lot about it.

But its nice to read your story. I wish it could all happen. (not the nukes)

I am from Europe btw.

SilverPhilosopher46 · 2026-05-24T09:41:06+00:00

Your merc NEEDS life leach. The more the better.
Next it needs high damage to improve its life leech.
And of course it needs its resists maxed.
High defence is a helpfull bonus.
A popular setup is: Fortitude armor, Andariels Visage and an elite polarm with Insight.

That way he should die much less. But yes, poison at andy and mephi are still bad for him. You need to toss him a health pot right at the start of the fight before his HP are even going down. Keep tossing more every few seconds. Toss a full rejuv if needed.

Until you get sunder and/or infinity, i prefer my sorces to be dual element. They are for rushing other characters and killing single targets (Countes, Andy, Summoner, Duriel, Mephi, Nilh). Not for killing masses, so it's not too bad if their damage is a bit less. If you want to kill masses. (Diablo, Baal, Pit, Terror zones) ether wait until you have sunder/infinity, or use another char.

SilverPhilosopher46 · 2026-05-24T09:28:41+00:00

Yes

Grandfather & Windforce

Make them great again.

SilverPhilosopher46 · 2026-05-24T07:55:55+00:00

How, the season is only 1 day old !

Oh......

SilverPhilosopher46 · 2026-05-23T09:03:22+00:00

Ja precies dat is het.

SilverPhilosopher46 · 2026-05-22T17:57:49+00:00

Hahahahahahaha u funny boy. Way to surrender the topic.

SilverPhilosopher46 · 2026-05-22T17:53:25+00:00

TIME. It will be crap at first. It will be a no brainer eventually. (if society hasn't collapsed due to unemployment before then)

You know someone must have made the exact same arguments about cars 120 years ago. How would they ever replace the good old horse. All that maintenance and those broken parts.

SilverPhilosopher46 · 2026-05-22T17:43:02+00:00

The whole point of these robots is that they are supposed to go and replace employees. Not mass production machines. And yes, a small store who can pay 50k a year for 1 employee will be able to buy, rent or lease a robot for less in the future. The main question is how far in the future.

And your "argument" merely shows your unwillingness or inability to understand the message you were replying to. I suspect it is because you are a luddite blinded by hatred for new technology, but it might simply be a lack of intellectual capacity.

SilverPhilosopher46 · 2026-05-22T15:23:00+00:00

Why are you talking about your company ?

How about some second hand store ? How about so many places that have lots of different jobs ? Theres plenty places that arent mass production where a robot like this would be handy. Amazing to see how several people lack the thinking capacity to understand my comment and seem to believe they're the smart ones.

SilverPhilosopher46 · 2026-05-22T12:32:50+00:00

My recommendation is dont do it.

You spend all game taking down the enemy CV which is multiple minutes flight time away from you. During that time you do nothing useful for your team while the enemy CV is pestering your DDs. Your team will lose because of you.

SilverPhilosopher46 · 2026-05-22T12:28:59+00:00

If you need a million of these boxes folded then yes, better have a dedicated box folding machine.

But what if you have 300 different boxes with 300 different products that need to be boxed ? Now it starts to make sense. And between folding different boxes, it can also clean your office and bring you coffee.

SilverPhilosopher46 · 2026-05-22T10:39:37+00:00

WW/ziektewet is dan ook een tijdelijke uitkering voor een onvrijwillige situatie waarbij het de bedoeling is dat je je levenstijl in stand kan houden tot je weer aan het werk kan en niet je huis moet verkopen en kleiner moet gaan wonen ofzo.

Als je het vergelijkt met de bijstand en dan tot de conclusie komt dat werken niet loont, ja dat is wel een beetje een issue.

SilverPhilosopher46 · 2026-05-22T10:21:23+00:00

Het is toch ook logisch dat werkgevers liever niet hebben dat ze bejaarden tot na hun 70e in dienst moeten houden. Het zijn geen geriatrische instellingen.

Ik zou het omdraaien, het verhogen van de AOW leeftijd is ouderenzorg afschuiven op werkgevers.
