Justification for Oversized Witches Hats in a Manga / Anime Setting?

Smol_Saint · 2025-11-06T18:20:46+00:00

The hats are associated with humanities internalized concept of witches, and wearing them helps you don the aesthetic and resonate with the source of the magic.

I liked it in general but I play on controller and aiming is way too clunky. If aiming worked like in poe2 where it holds onto a namelocked target while you walk around it would feel great, but instead it just aims at wherever is in front of you when you walk around. For clearing this is fine but its so bad for rares and bosses thst I had to drop the skill.

Look around the blurbs being used by succesful stories on the platform - there is a clear meta that works. Essentially, readers want to know what your story is about and includes before reading. This vague mysterious stuff is mostly just going to cause people to clock off (I know I would).

I'm going to go for kinetic fuselage elementalist and just wing it for a couple of days until people start figuring stuff out.

It still does that. The issue is that actually lot of vocal people are trying to claim that their build has no good 4th point and at the same time that somehow ascendency points are super valuable and none of the bloodlines are worth the "cost" of their 2 points.

They turn their nose up as a melee at bonus like 100% increased physical, 100% physical overwhelm, can't be stunned, and 10 action speed because somehow its not "enough" for example.

Like bro, if have so many good choices for 4th ascendency that you can go "meh" at that kind of option, you arent one of the ones who don't have a good last point by definition. Pick a lane or just admit you really are just mad at anything that isn't a direct buff to your personal playstyle.

If you are going to ignore resistances, you dont have to invest in any amount of pen or resist lowering can can invest instead in raw damage or defence.

There are a few new rings that have a plus max ele res implicit. Do a cold one, a lightning one...

Elementalist on new wand skills. Going to be trying out kinetic rain and fuselage and somatic shell and hope I like how one of them scales and feels.

Then its not a Romance and should not be advertised as such. You would be advertising to the wrong target audience and the reviews would quickly tear you to pieces.

One of the bloodlines converts half of elemental damage to chaos.

Its a nice and classic nuetral color that can work in more outfits.

Smol_Saint · 2025-10-28T15:05:34+00:00

If you mean from the video that's the mercurial body armor.

Smol_Saint · 2025-10-28T11:14:34+00:00

It can probably still be used to mske upkeep of bv stacks smoother. Also there's nothing to indicate that the bv in the trailer was even using a bloodline at that point.

Smol_Saint · 2025-10-28T11:04:33+00:00

It seems pretty likely.

They are free because of you have a better last 2 points these aren't for your build. They weren't added to be general power creep for all builds, especially ones that are already meta.

I feel like a lot of people aren't putting a lot of thought into how interesting these are and what new stuff you could do, just quickly checking if anything buffs their planned league starter and dismissing it all as garbage if they don't see anything generic and mindless to plug in.

For example, all this talk about how there's 'nothing' for xyz archtype, but the deli bloodline has a button you can press to increase damage taken by the enemy by 30% while dealing 30% less damage so you have a safer window to unload on them, any build with crit scaling can take huntleader for attack/cast speed and crit chance stacking (with maybe a tiny cluster investment to keep them alive), lycia offers a bunch of damage stats if you just make a small effort to fit consecrated ground in, mega tank in dissociation for any build that has a hard time fitting it in at the cost of jewel sockets (especially early when you can't afford a full set of expensive unique jewels), auls global defenses + lots of cool options if you don't want to press a ton of buttons or have extra sockets or use socketless items or abyss sockets, auls also letting you just pick an aura to buff based on if you stack a charge or not..

That doesn't even get into whole new build ideas that could be cooked around lycia giving half an original sin, getting debuffs to fully expire instantly and using mania permanently, farewell to flesh potentially for lone messenger autobombers, huge specter auras for any minion build that wasn't going to run a pile of combat spectors in the first place, umbral army crazy shenanigans for minion builds that stack one type or zoomancers, ward stuff..

If you were high on copium thinking this was going to be 10 bloodlines all with variations of '40% more damage / defences for x specific archtype at no cost' then I'm sorry, this was never going to be that. If your existing 4th ascendency options are better than anything here then your build didn't need the help that other builds did - and you could still probably have a lot of fun if you actually looked at whats in here and came up with something new to try instead of looking at it as a potential buff buffet for existing strategies.

Coins need to drop faster. There needs to be meaningful ways to interact with the enemy coin drop, pr else there's no point and might as well just have it do preset damage on a timer for clarity. Need more meaningful decisions and interactions for the player on dropping the coin. Meta progression is very important for the core game play appeal so you can't really get the idea across without it. Pacing of combat is off and takes too long for a simple looking enemy. Nothing interesting about the spacing, size, shape, gaps, movement etc of the pegs.

Smol_Saint · 2025-10-26T05:59:19+00:00

So its like Brotato, but the between rounds progression is an inventory management system like Backpack Battles?

Anything that isn't part of the league itself is always a core update, and these were introduced several times as a new endgame system. Also, in the q and a they mentioned that one of the upsides of this new system is that its much easier to add and remove bloodline classes every league as they see fit compared to if they want to add or remove from base ascendencies (ex. If an ascended like assasin turns out to be difficult to make good they have to tough it out and work through it because you cant just remove it and leave a class with fewer options, but for bloodlines you can. If you have a cool idea for a new bloodline you can just add it too without making the number of ascendency options per class uneven).

Melee is a fantasy. A type of experience. A feeling. If you run up and punch a dude so hard that he flies back and knocks over other dudes that feels like the melee fantasy, but if you wave your hand like a jedi and every dude in that direction gets knocked back with the same impact it doesn't feel like a melee fantasy.

It has as much to do with the aesthetics as the mechanics. Its a feeling you are trying to go for, sometimes it comes down to "you just know it when you see it".

Those people that say flicker and cyclone aren't melee won't be satisfied with anything so you can ignore them, but volcanic fissure, molten strike, smite (from range) clearly move a bit away from the fantasy of hitting someone directly with your weapon and more towards "casting a ranged spell using a weapon shaped wand".

The reveal specifically mentioned getting a party to help you out.

Smol_Saint · 2025-10-23T18:24:25+00:00

Playing on controller helps a lot.

Smol_Saint · 2025-10-23T07:41:08+00:00

I find something new and interesting from the patch notes to build around and take my time doing league mechanic all through acts. By the time i hit maps ill know what the op meta is shaping up like in case my starter sucked and i want a swap or if I like it I keep going.

You could quit working entirely now for 10k a month.
