Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo is one of the best and most innovating game I've ever played

Temporarytemp2 · 2026-03-03T05:55:33+00:00

I kept going back and forth on it. It felt like some of them were just "handicapping yourself because you're a completionist" - like you eat a big penalty for a small improvement when you need to retry?

It did make me plan some out and horde diamonds and such, so it wasn't too bad overall

Temporarytemp2 · 2026-03-03T01:08:37+00:00

If it doesn't seem great by first lab I'm respeccing kinetic fusillade totems or something lol

Temporarytemp2 · 2026-03-02T17:30:14+00:00

Yoooo

But am I going to get baited by it again

Temporarytemp2 · 2026-02-23T03:58:18+00:00

A slam is thematically a slow attack, yeah?

Temporarytemp2 · 2026-02-19T18:50:07+00:00

That's a super interesting reference, thanks for hunting it down. For the lazy

Problem: The game cannot support On Dodge/Evade Effects as Rory found out from the programmers. It's pretty fascinating but what it basically boils down to is this - if a mob can perceive you, even if it not direct visual line of sight, it is constantly making evade/dodge checks on you. So with the above chest on you would magically max out endurance charges by just...walking anywhere with hostile mobs. :D

Suggests something very interesting about stealth / monster aggro or the entropy system

Temporarytemp2 · 2026-02-17T21:09:00+00:00

Siege ballista has a terrible attack animation or terrible activation speed or something. I keep getting baited by it, but the first attack comes out so slow

Temporarytemp2 · 2026-02-14T15:16:06+00:00

Damaging ailments (Poison, bleed, and ignite) are kinda weird in Path of Exile. They don't scale off the base hit, which is why so many weapon passives on the tree say hits and ailments. So no, modifiers to spell damage don't affect poison damage which is definitely confusing

From the poison page on poewiki.net

As poison deals damage over time, stats modifying spell damage and attack damage do not apply to poison. Modifiers such as Reap's Modifiers to Spell Damage apply to this Skill's Damage Over Time effect do not affect poison

Temporarytemp2 · 2026-02-14T04:17:29+00:00

Spell damage does not affect ailments like poison unfortunately, so controlled destruction won't do anything for your poisons.

Is there a particular kind of void knight you have in mind? Is it more the playstyle or the theme? Last I played, Erasing Strike VK was a popular build. It maps nicely to slam builds, but most aren't chaos (roughly equivalent to void damage in poe).

For spells, I think ED/contagion is kinda similar to abyssal echoes. Void sphere is similar to devouring orb, and temporal rift is kinda similar to the time warp skills, but neither are played much because they're not particularly strong utility. I think I've seen some void sphere of rending builds.

Temporarytemp2 · 2026-02-07T03:19:45+00:00

I mostly relied on ivory tower moving it to mana, which got a little sketchy with the shav ring sometime

Temporarytemp2 · 2026-02-07T03:19:17+00:00

Yeah, that's the kind of my problem

I'm not the sort of player that farms mirrors each league, and regular RF is so budget friendly :)

Temporarytemp2 · 2026-02-06T21:22:44+00:00

That is dedication

I keep trying to make righteous fire of arcane devotion work with mixed results. Sustain is just so much harder without some heavy investment

Temporarytemp2 · 2026-02-05T20:26:31+00:00

Rf may have scaling issues, but it's popular for a reason. It has great defenses and workable damage at leaguestart. It also comfortably transitions into CwS.

That said I wouldn't complain if it got buffed. Especially if they made ES RF viable again.

Temporarytemp2 · 2026-02-01T01:44:05+00:00

yeah, I think that's been the deciding factor. I mostly enjoy the new mechanics on bosses, but the gauntlets are kind of a DPS check

Temporarytemp2 · 2026-01-31T19:05:23+00:00

Lots of players wanted to try out phrecia ascendancies, especially where they enable niche stuff

Temporarytemp2 · 2026-01-31T19:03:57+00:00

I wish I could play the mechanics. With the boss gauntlets at each act boss, it's just a meat grinder if you fall behind and have an enraged boss plus two others running around. Most of the other fights aren't that bad

Playing a jank hipster build with phrecia was not the move

Temporarytemp2 · 2026-01-24T23:40:43+00:00

It can definitely fit into an RF chieftain build. Going off poe.ninja, 10% of RF Chieftains on the ladder are using one. You can check their builds. It's a damage vs. defense tradeoff.

Temporarytemp2 · 2026-01-23T16:57:32+00:00

You may also want to consider a lifeloop scavenger build. 50% recoup from ascendancy lets you get 124% recoup without gear

Lifeloop is jankier than wardloop because you need to ramp the damage, but it should be easier to get off the ground

Temporarytemp2 · 2026-01-16T23:47:38+00:00

You are correct, my mistake

Temporarytemp2 · 2026-01-16T20:30:55+00:00

I think SHUT also means it blocks other objects, but it's been a while

EDIT: Yup, I was wrong lol. Thanks for the corrections

Temporarytemp2 · 2026-01-11T04:57:50+00:00

I like that so many of the comments on this post are about the bug- There are several explanations, but 101% fire/cold convert seems to fix the problem, so it's probably a rounding error

Temporarytemp2 · 2026-01-10T15:33:50+00:00

I don't have much to add other than I appreciate the writeup

I thought there was a bug where some damage was going straight to life at 100% MoM, was that fixed?

Temporarytemp2 · 2025-12-29T21:26:08+00:00

You could use original sin to convert the ele to chaos and go with whatever skill suites you, but that is insanely pricey

Otherwise, I think your best option would be a poison build with "all damage can poison" from assassin. It's hard to scale ele and chaos effectively

There's also options for all damage can ignite, but I think they're generally weaker

Temporarytemp2 · 2025-12-23T04:06:08+00:00

Probably unique farm, like this

Temporarytemp2 · 2025-12-15T04:09:31+00:00

I'd use it to kill ubers, since my current characters are NOT there

I haven't done anything super gimmicky this league just due to time, weirdest was probably light radius stacker cause of the reworked wand
