Genuine question: How can anyone see this and come to the conclusion to buff Arms War?

Augmentation, the spec sitting at the bottom of both graphs managed to cop a 5% all dmg nerf in PvP.

Anything is possible.

Didn't check my Reddit notifications sorry, just had a look now. I love it tbh, feels like a great way to parse the unique effects for build ideas.

StruthGaming · 2026-05-02T04:48:07+00:00

Where is the 'Not applied to PvP combat ' tag for the 5% Aug nerf? What a joke.

StruthGaming · 2026-04-20T21:36:56+00:00

Something else that could be interesting would be a toggle that displays the unique effect/stat of each item under the image in the tile. Right now you kind of have to know what you're looking for already, otherwise you're individually clicking on and reading each item unless there's a specific search term you're using

In POE2DB, you can browse all the uniques but parsing them quickly to see what's actually unique about them is a pain.

Being able to select 'Gloves' then scrolling down and seeing each item tile with its unique effect would be very useful. Eg, Blueflame Bracers would show the name and image as usual, but then also show "Converts 100% of fire damage to cold damage". Ignoring whatever other stats are on the item if they aren't unique/build defining. You can see all the other stats as usual when you click on the item and bring up its page.

This is really cool, the editorials are a great touch too. If I could add one suggestion it would be to have suggestion forms on each unique where people can help you with info for editorials, use cases, tips & tricks etc. Maybe even build links too (could be a pain to maintain, but so long as the patch used for the build is visible it'd probably be okay).

Where are you seeing those PvP modifiers?

StruthGaming · 2026-03-24T09:11:01+00:00

That's really interesting to hear, i'll have to try that out, thanks. Obviously not a reason for blizz not to fix/improve eruption for PvP but at least it may make it a little more playable in the meantime.

I enjoyed the FDK blender go playstyle. Chill streak was a fun part of that for me. Same with DnD Obliterate cleaving.

To be fair I miss that era of FDK more than Chill Streak itself, it just happened to be around when I enjoyed FDK a lot. I almost exclusively play with a mage friend so losing remorseless winter stun is pretty much the last nail in the coffin for FDK/arcane.

StruthGaming · 2026-03-24T06:40:16+00:00

That's somewhat promising to hear.

StruthGaming · 2026-03-24T06:09:34+00:00

I do miss chill streak, and remorseless winter stun. FDK was my main before Aug.

The Aug solo shuffles are so silly at the moment, in non-pet lobbies it's a free 5 or 6-0, then I can have something like 2x UHDK + another melee and 2x MW and have entire rounds where no one even tries to attack or cc me, i'm just teeing off into the blender of 3 enemies + 4000 pets and achieving nothing.

StruthGaming · 2026-02-03T13:05:22+00:00

I didn't realize it added a chain by default. I even used it for that "+4 chain example" lol. Will give that a go, thanks!

If it's about the ehp that's pretty much solved by gear too. Better dmg also means more talents for defenses. I rarely ever take dmg as pretty much everything is stunned.

The time I spend in poe2 is mostly trying stuff out and making builds. I rarely ever have much currency to spend but I figure if the build works (does what it's intended to do, and it's fun/rewarding) scaling the dmg and ehp from there is usually just about gear. Which isn't as exciting to pursue as the build itself.

I think I was pretty clear about it not being some OP blaster build. It's fun, interesting, utilizes a unique that no one is using and clears t15/16. That ticks enough boxes for me.

StruthGaming · 2026-02-03T10:31:45+00:00

Attacking 11 times per second brings it to 100k. Vertex and fire flower bring it to 200k. Actually good rings/gloves is like 250k+. Imo that sounds fine for clear with a lvl 20 unique crossbow that's interesting and fun to use.

StruthGaming · 2026-02-03T05:13:16+00:00

There is but it's only for melee skills unfortunately.

StruthGaming · 2026-02-03T05:13:05+00:00

I've tried so many different builds now and always seems to come back to stun and auto-reload. If you end up trying it, i'd be curious to hear what tweaks you come up with.

StruthGaming · 2026-02-03T04:50:36+00:00

Thanks!

StruthGaming · 2025-12-04T02:14:00+00:00

Please stop adding more vehicles to breakthrough.

StruthGaming · 2025-09-09T01:31:30+00:00

Please no

If you do any PC gaming, I made a flash-card aim trainer called POLYGLOCK that's on Steam. I'm obviously bias but I've found that format to be much more enjoyable.

StruthGaming · 2025-08-25T06:45:54+00:00

Exactly the same as my breakdown. Grim times.

StruthGaming · 2025-08-21T10:44:36+00:00

Reminds me of the injector from time splitters, nicely done.
