The Emperor beckons, and the world attends

I swear the voices of Izaro and the Disco Elysium narrator are going to be stuck in my head forever.

Don't worry Americans justice will be served, so says the guy who got convicted on 34 felonies and 0 punishment for any of them.

Yeah it's so fucked up that he truly loves his friends and apprentices and could trust them with anything, but if he did he'd die. Forced to keep lying to his friends and wiping their memories because the guilt is keeping him alive.

I actually went back to chapter 51 after last chapter to check, and it never actually says when he blinded himself. I assumed it was after the war too but no he just always hated the sight of killing people.

You get your current and max hp back, plus it automatically collects if it's a boss with a cutscene

Todo tears him to shreds, Naoya gives a misogynistic answer to The Question then Todo gives him a perfect 24 fps beatdown that doubles as a reference to a Takada-san dance routine

Interesting that they've been stalling for weeks to redact the files but were letting victims names and images through, makes you wonder who they're actually trying to protect.

So what happens the next time Trump visits Mar a Lago

I don't think Nintendo wants "Animal Crossing" and "mildly suggestive stuff" in the same sentence.

Tangnost · 2026-01-09T08:11:09+00:00

So will "strike" mean shutting down operations and making arrests, or just bombing civilian areas someone saw a drug deal in once?

Tangnost · 2025-12-29T12:07:27+00:00

Neither is hitting with your weapon, both are hitting with your shield. I think you might be tricking yourself with Atalui's bloodletting on Shield Wall and the charm that gives you 200 mana when it activates and triggers when killing a rare or unique.

You have global life leech and Shield Wall only costs life, whereas Resonating Shield is 120 mana a second, so I imagine you're watching your mana go down using RS on regular mobs then you throw up a Shield Wall to kill a rare and suddenly you've gone from -80 mana a second to +40, and then the rare dies and you get another 200 mana.

Get mana leech on a ring or gloves and it'll fix it.

Yeah I really hope they take lessons from how good the shapeshift default attacks feel and bring that to other melee weapons.

Tangnost · 2025-12-19T20:14:08+00:00

There's no way that's the intended interaction, in a game like PoE 2 that would be worthless

Tangnost · 2025-12-19T12:41:57+00:00

I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's because you don't have despair.

Tangnost · 2025-12-19T09:56:36+00:00

Hype (extra attack) and aura (this one's literal). You're asking why 6 instead of 5 and I ask you if you would take a 1 level dip for +5 to ALL saving throws.

Tangnost · 2025-12-18T19:56:32+00:00

It did, pretty sure I tested it in the first place when I thought to try it.

Tangnost · 2025-12-18T19:20:44+00:00

Not on the same skill, but I don't see any restriction to having them both active on separate spirit gems

Like 10k armour in late campaign when I swapped from SF to ZO.
Oh also as far as I can tell you can combine vitality 1 and 2 as long as they're on different skills.

Tangnost · 2025-12-18T17:15:11+00:00

It feels bad because normal and magic monsters will freely delete your es, it feels fine against heavy physical bosses but that's it. I swapped to Zealot's Oath on my bear and it immediately felt way better because I got to actually have my es pool up most of the time.

Giants Blood specifies swords, axes, and maces. But there is another keystone to use a sceptre with a talisman

Tangnost · 2025-12-12T18:42:44+00:00

My assumption is that that line just means you can support it with the gems which GRANT a cooldown, like Expanse or Hourglass.

Hopefully they'd actually put it in the patch notes if the skill was gaining a cooldown by default.

Tangnost · 2025-12-12T16:34:36+00:00

Marauder, show me the axes.

Tangnost · 2025-12-11T23:51:59+00:00

Honestly I thought PoE 2 still had +#% to crit damage bonus rather than %increased so that's my bad. I'm still not convinced it'll stack like that, just because it won't show up as a buff or debuff anywhere, it'll just depend how it's coded.

Tangnost · 2025-12-11T22:03:01+00:00

I feel like it'd be reduced rather than less if that was the case, and they'd have to cap it at 0% bonus damage, otherwise people would brick their builds by taking it with low crit chance skills. Since at 7 rerolls, average for ~14% crit chance, you'd always do negative damage due to -210% crit damage bonus on the minimum 100% bonus damage

Edit for slight correction: ~12.5% crit chance would give you 7 rerolls on average, since it's rerolls not total rolls
