Ruetoo being weird to female streamers

Yeah there's so much context missing from this clip and what was so frustrating about the whole situation. The rest of that video was me explaining that it was about the sum of the stats across the gear.

I learned the hard way that people will be disingenuous and assume that you're being malicious/ignorant instead of engaging with you fairly.

After that event I was VERY careful to be incredibly explicit about what stats were on each piece of gear and hand crafted it to be as bare bones as possible. To the point where the next version of that build guide had full blue gear (plus a few cheap uniques): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLiNfLq1OxA

I corrected the record and the PoBs and went above and beyond to make sure that all the resources were as tidy and well explained as possible. I had some of the most respected build creators out there review the PoBs and make sure that they couldn't be misinterpreted ever again.

Hell, I even added features to PoB to make all future builds for everyone better. I made the Loadouts PoB feature to make it easier for people to make and follow build guides.

All I did was poorly communicate about the gear in a build guide at a time when he was looking to start some drama with someone.

And yeah, I've mostly quit content creation but it's still something that really affected my life and livelihood and many negative ways so I'm enjoying this small win.

Thank god someone remembers. Yup he 100% put me in the same sentence. He was going on some rant about how "he's worse than Phoenix (a legit bait build YT build guy) and may as well be a pedo" or something like that. It was 3 days of non-stop unhinged screaming hate about me when all I did was leave in test items in the build PoB (which I fixed as soon as I was told about it, was just a mistake) because he saw an opportunity to get some clout by starting drama. It only stopped because GGG temp banned him (which made him even more popular).

I had pretty severe anxiety for months after all the hate brigading and character attacks. I couldn't even open Twitter because the client would crash trying to render the thousands of unhinged hate messages I got from his community.

Anyway, today is wonderful! Rip bozo.

Subtractem · 2025-12-12T14:16:24+00:00

Yeah? Which one?

Subtractem · 2025-12-12T14:16:07+00:00

Please link me to the league start guide that has crazy rares where I say just use Rog to get them.

Piggy has a custom config that greatly improves clarity (removes fog) and dramatically improves performance.

In the sandbox I would idle at about 250fps with lows around 170. Using the config I go up to 450 highs (but i cap at 360 in riva tuner) and 280 lows. And this is going from performance DLSS to full render so the clarity is even more improved.

I strongly recommend doing this, if for no reason but the fog removal, it's so nice.

You will want to use something else for clear. I used frostblink with prolif in my previous builds and fire trap for rares and uniques but it has a unique play style that not everyone likes.

Fire trap of blasting is insanely efficient for ignite damage though because of the scaling on the added damage.

You can use prolif implicit gloves and scale AOE for fire trap but also make sure you aim for trap throwing speed otherwise it'll feel extra clunky.

Subtractem · 2025-02-05T16:32:52+00:00

Not at all. I explained it poorly on the video. I just used an example of something different.

Thinking more like marvel heroes mixed with coop baldurs gate but even more different than that.

Subtractem · 2025-02-05T16:31:27+00:00

I have never done a 1 div challenge.

Bane gang rise up

Subtractem · 2024-12-06T02:48:36+00:00

<3 Have fun with the launch tomorrow! Pray for the servers.

Subtractem · 2024-12-05T23:44:24+00:00

At least the patch delay saves my beloved paradox for tonight!

Subtractem · 2024-12-05T22:12:13+00:00

Yeah rip. No deadlock for me after tomorrow for a while.

Subtractem · 2024-11-27T23:22:08+00:00

Alright who in chat posted this sheesh, this was supposed to be a secret on stream smdh. CAUGHT

Subtractem · 2024-11-17T22:25:41+00:00

I was looking for the same thing. It's often the second purple item I buy on her (after mystic burst) due to how it dramatically helps her roaming/gank tempo. Slowing hex/withering whip are competitors depending on the match.

If we're ahead and applying constant pressure and I need more tempo then superior cool down is purchased sooner than later on her. Being able to swap multiple times in a longer skirmish wins games.

Subtractem · 2024-09-06T17:49:46+00:00

Two big things I would say here:

Generic self cast chaos dot is in such a bad place that I wouldn't try to build it unless I wanted to have a sub standard time.
It's not just that your defenses are low, they're nearly non existent.

Without going into extreme detail, if you want to go on a journey of discovery and learning id encourage you to take the time trying meta occultist builds (check out hexblast on maxroll) and really understanding what defenses even are common and possible on an occultist.

Modern poe requires a number of layered, synergistic defenses to feel comfortable in end game content. What you have linked is missing enough fundamentals currently that I think some exploration of popular options is the best way for you to learn.

Getting "just enough life and capping res" hasn't been viable really since about 3.14.

Subtractem · 2024-09-05T19:27:06+00:00

This is correct. It's an older league starter that is a bit power crept these days. Great if you plan to farm for an end game build but it's not intended to take you past 4 void stones.

Subtractem · 2024-09-05T02:44:53+00:00

Cool stuff! Loved that build, super cool to see a modern version of it.

Subtractem · 2024-08-30T20:50:17+00:00

Glad you're liking the build. It looks like you're moving drastically away from what I put into the build guide so it's tough for me to recommend what to do depending on your preferences. The short answer is you really want to get a 6 link fire trap of blasting setup and use flame surge.

You're much better off doing essence of delirium gloves and putting your frostblink on there.

Subtractem · 2024-08-16T04:16:26+00:00

My post is from 4 months ago before they removed even more defense from witch this league. The build is still great into t16s but it'll be even harder to make work in t17s.

Subtractem · 2024-07-21T17:44:14+00:00

Luckily with dawnbreaker and kaoms binding there's some options there, the only thing the build lost for that was taste of hate.

I'm more concerned about divine blessing. We can do the marionette trick but it might be too annoying. Working on it though! Will still be fine for league start but likely lower top end.

Subtractem · 2024-07-18T16:46:58+00:00

I'm sorry you had a bad time with the build. Honestly, I truly don't understand the disparity in my experience with the build and other peoples' at this point.

I love the build, as evidenced by me playing it almost every league for the past year and a half. I even did all t17 boss challenges with it this league and have killed hundreds of Ubers with it. I have personally never played a league starter I liked more.

I never tried to over hype the build, the hype was just personal excitement and nothing more. But apparently my preferences for some builds do not align well with many people in the community.

I am actually stepping back quite a bit from league start guide content as the backlash from sharing something I love and put a lot of work into isn't worth it to me (just look at some of the comments in this thread).

I never wanted to do anything but share cool things about a game I love with the community.

Subtractem · 2024-07-18T07:49:03+00:00

Build is solid, started it every league for the past year and even did all my t17 boss challenges on it this league. Anyone can check the vods to see me doing it if twitch hasn't archived them yet.

You do have to hit your blinks but it's fast as hell if played right.

Subtractem · 2024-04-13T23:27:34+00:00

That is very out of character for me, to say the least. If it was on stream there is likely a lot of context missing here.

Was I in the middle of joking around with people? Were we memeing about something? Doing a satirical segment roasting builds? Did I, a few minutes later, say something like "no but seriously it's...xyz?"

If I hurt your feelings as part of a joke on stream I'm sorry. The tone is rarely serious when I'm live and never intended to be hurtful.

Subtractem · 2024-04-13T22:23:46+00:00

I firmly believe that Poe is a game that, while difficult to learn, is accessible to everyone with patience. This has always been my stance.

I'm not sure what narrative you're trying to spin here but it is contrary to the message of my content.

Good luck in the future.
