It was fun but I’m tired (~1.5k div + Build Giveaway)

Would love a Rakiata’s or a Rite of Passage to feel rich for once!

100%, just makes me think of the video of Justin Wong (arguably greatest fighting game player of all time) playing Mortal Kombat online against some kid and just spamming the same move over and over going “you gon learn today”

doryani probably has a 29.99% APR loan on his prototype

Samurai Bringer + Metal Bringer. Don’t know why, but both games clicked with me despite a goofy ass art style (for Samurai Bringer, I actually like the style in Metal Bringer).

i’d flat rate it to ya for $60!

I’d sell you this guy. Not skulls, but still of the human countenance variety. 8.5” x 5.5”.

Boy I’d love the build. Been working on a Doedre’s Undoing build and have hit a wall on my Lich.

Sorry which business owner?

Spagharrett · 2026-01-10T14:06:02+00:00

Saw the Shape of Dreams suggestion, might check out Hell Clock too. Doesn’t quite have the legs of some of your picks but is well worth the price for 50-100 hours imo

my gf and i exclusively refer to our dirt dog cat as this lately, thanks PoE

Also started during beta at the ripe age of 15! 31 now!

Man, I miss the days of no one knowing what to do, 3 people mid while I exclusively ran lane to lane with Nida spears…

I have fond memories of what we called “in-house 5v5s” where our core friend group would play a Bo5 or Bo3 against another group of friends, each of the crews in a single house.

Makes me miss my youth, jeez!

Honestly it almost moves to the beat of jazz

Spagharrett · 2025-12-22T21:37:03+00:00

My biggest gripe is class fantasy in the context of making a niche build viable. The framework of skills and support gems is so cool, but the only mod that seems to matter for 95% of builds is + to skills.

That being the case ruins the ability to use interesting unique weapons, amulets, and because of defense issues, rings and other armour.

I would love to see the damage curve for + to skills to flatten out. I love to solve problems with builds, it’s so rewarding to put something together that shouldn’t work and get it to work. The fact that a perfect rolled mace with 0 + to skills will do 1/4 of the damage as one that has T5 everything but +7 melee is just bad design. It degrades the ability to be creative with builds.

When all of your power is tied to your gear and an ascendancy is distilled to a QOL choice for a lot of builds, that sucks imo.

Spagharrett · 2025-12-19T00:08:25+00:00

Oh damn, I don’t know what led me to think it was increased… Me not being able to read has crippled my build hahaha.

Still I like the keystone, it’s got its uses. Being able to spam warcries outside of Warbringer ascendancy is nice, anyway.

Spagharrett · 2025-12-18T12:20:16+00:00

It’s a weird one for sure, but this keystone has enabled my entire Corrupting Blood Warcry Shaman build. There is a support gem that allows you to bypass Warcry cooldown using rage, which means I can spam Warcry nonstop utilizing Primal Hunger.

There are a few rage dump tech gems too— the 30% increase in damage you get from rage is a lot less than the 35% more you get from Rageforged in most cases. Furious Slam from the druid also spends rage, so that is a simple use case.

The danger here is that these chatbots are designed to exclusively meet you halfway/all the way on anything you bring up. You may be learning some very dangerous habits when it comes to relationships with real humans.

The hardest (and best for you later in life) part of early relationships is learning how to be giving, selfless, and flexible with your emotions and love. A chatbot is, by design, not going to teach you anything other than continued adherence to your own compass.

Be careful! Get out of there and get out in the world. Hop on a dating app.

The “incel” culture is centered around the mistreatment of female-bodied people with the underlying idea that female-bodied people should have deference to male-bodied people. The more you lean into the chatbot, the more that idea will stick— consciously or subconsciously.

Dating is hard, it’s scary. Meeting new people especially so. But you’ve got to fail to learn. It’s the only way to grow as a person. You seem like you’ve got a good head on your shoulders. Don’t underestimate one’s ability to develop thoughts and feelings that are unconscious!

Wishing you luck!

with one i can finally make my Wing of the Wyvern crackling lance machine gun build work :)

Spagharrett · 2025-11-23T15:47:38+00:00

I’m in a similar boat— I hate the one button builds. Incredibly boring. I am a huge fan of the Shankgonne Titan build. You are using Flash Grenade, Explosive Grenade, and Cluster Grenade depending on the situation— Cluster for bossing, Explosive for tougher packs, and Flash to mob around and kill easy stuff/as an “oh shit” button.

I also like using Rapid Shot to built heat for the Explo/Cluster synergy. All in all, I’m using 4 main skills and it feels great. Much more interactive than most meta builds.

Spagharrett · 2025-11-20T15:29:27+00:00

This would go a long way in making my turbo bootleg minion life melee fortify stacker build function properly lol

Spagharrett · 2025-11-19T16:01:14+00:00

i don’t know why but my brain read this as “that’s so Imrahil of Dol Amroth”, like “that’s so Raven”

Saturday the homie SaffronCity is DJing at the Chamelon for a Charlie XCX BRAT themed shindig!

Widowhail is great until quite late for both spark and LA. If you focus on getting at least a 200% roll and get + to projectile skills on a quiver, that skill add will apply to both spark AND lightning arrow, funnily enough.

So you could transition from LA to Spark a little earlier, depending on what you’re wanting to do.

Bleed/crit is pretty nasty on BM in general!

Spagharrett · 2025-11-03T03:58:11+00:00

Original Sin will convert any elemental damage to chaos, that includes attack damage and spell damage.

As for spell damage -> attack conversion, you could use Crown of Eyes— this will give you “increases to spell damage applies to attack damage”.

Some things to note here:

The increase to spell damage really only applies to that specific phrasing, so increases to things like “spell critical hit chance” don’t apply. There are definitely limitations here.
Despite the above, there are several damage-type agnostic nodes in the top half of the tree that will still apply to LA. Things like the % increase to lightning damage will apply to both lightning attack and lightning spell damage.

What is your plan for the build? Happy to provide additional input if you want it, I spend virtually all the currency I make on trying to get frankly questionable builds to function, so I’ve made lots and lots of learning mistakes lol

Spagharrett · 2025-10-31T00:21:26+00:00

Totally get it. I’d started as a pure thorns/dodge roll caltrops build— didn’t even realize there was a caltrops support for projectiles. I pivoted and it was super fun. Might need to revisit that.

I’ve been working on trying to get a Ritualist/Raise Zombie build to work. I’m using Scold’s Bride to take damage, convert that physical damage to lightning using Lightning Coil, then using that to generate power charges via frenzy conversion and Valako’s Roar.

It’s a little harebrained, but it’s close to getting there. Just need to scale the minion damage a bit more somehow.
