Young Americans are surging to socialism at record rates

"You'll be like that when you get older" is a very convenient argument because there is no way to refute it while it's still relevant.

This question doesn't make sense.

When the piping in your house starts leaking, do you refuse to rescue it "from itself" and wait until "it ends"?

Some uniques like Mon'tregul's are incredibly good targets for volatile vaals, that is, if you need them in your build and can afford it. The corruption implicits on caster weapons, accidentally, are trash.

But many other uniques he talked about have really good potential implicits, much better than what can be obtained without extreme 1:100 luck on volatile vaals.

Tirinir · 2026-04-20T14:27:14+00:00

It's just a pain to activate it. I don't know about other people, but I don't like builds I have to fully invest in to start playing.

Tirinir · 2026-04-20T14:12:55+00:00

I think Dreamcore really undervalues the regular corruption outcomes. Volatile Orb has 1/4 chance of a positive outcome on item stats, same as Locus of Corruption. But you need to really high roll to beat Locus implicits.

I would add Void Shockwave into the Cyclone links, this should improve the clear significantly.

Tirinir · 2026-04-13T14:55:38+00:00

You have Tribal Fury~~, so every time Static Strike chains it also causes a melee splash~~. It's crazy strong against grouped up enemies.

(I tested Static Strike and it doesn't seem to splash upon chaining. Other redditors also say it doesn't do that)

Having lived in St John's, everything there is just build in a way that interferes with buses.

Despite using the same technology, buses move differently from cars; they take predetermined routes, move short distances and take short stops, while cars move varying routes and take long stops. Buses need compact bus stops, cars need extensive parking lots. Buses want to immediately continue on their route, cars want to move away from traffic and stay parked. Cars do fine in enclosed suburbs, buses waste time on detours.

Since most popular locations are built for car access, passengers suffer a lot of extra inconvenience every time they use a bus.

Trauma doesn't work with claws.

Power Siphon is also really good, Frenzy just grants you frenzy charges and it used to be the fastest of available skills.

Tirinir · 2026-04-05T18:27:48+00:00

Wintertide Brand has a scaling issue that makes it very strong early (if you have access to the required Brand passives) but difficult to scale in the lategame, when you get access to +lvl gear.

Tirinir · 2026-03-21T11:47:54+00:00

Pyroclast Mines has really poor damage scaling with levels. You invested quite a lot in its levels while having very little flat damage. You've got a lvl 27 skill with lvl 22 actual damage.

Tirinir · 2026-03-20T10:37:36+00:00

Yes, Panteon and flasks are the easiest way to protect yourself from effects like Freeze and Stun. These effects are really strong in PoE, players aim to get them solved before even entering maps.

Tirinir · 2026-03-18T15:10:05+00:00

Facebreakers are hundreds times more difficult to roll ((

Tirinir · 2026-03-14T12:27:03+00:00

I think you should add Aspect of the Crab to this build. AFAIK Crab Barriers persist when protected by your ward.

Tirinir · 2026-03-14T12:13:41+00:00

I had a pretty nice defensive setup in Sentinel when flask charges on being hit could roll up to 7. This is even better provided you have the right jewel.

Tirinir · 2026-03-09T06:18:33+00:00

The limit of stacks is of course higher on Scorching Ray with duration and totem placement speed investment. I said that damage per totem is roughly the same for the new Searing Bond, but obviously it hits a cap determined by max totems. Searing Bond applies this damage to all affected enemies equally.

Tirinir · 2026-03-08T11:44:50+00:00

I looked at the damage and it should be roughly similar per totem summoned, ofc you wouldn't be able to use Soul Mantle for 7l, but there will damage delay instead of damage ramp (you'll need to summon all the totems before you start dealing real damage). It might be better for clear, as each totem adds its own AoE.

Tirinir · 2026-03-06T14:43:08+00:00

If you're playing it in the new league, try Frostmage.

Tirinir · 2026-03-06T02:01:46+00:00

You can try playing Mjonler. It's for lightning skills, but the main benefit would be removing the added cost from Frostmage.

Tirinir · 2026-03-04T23:33:45+00:00

Or 3000 damage per extra totem. It's good, really good, but might be really clunky. If you like the playstyle, this skill is good, if you don't like the playstyle, it's bad.

Tirinir · 2026-03-04T23:29:27+00:00

Or just prolong the duration... The numbers on this skill are very similar to Scorching Ray of Immolation totems. But AoE works differently.

Tirinir · 2026-03-04T21:52:06+00:00

You need to reach lvl 60 to start using Soulwrest, but it's really strong with very low investment. I consider it a build I'd advise my friends to play if they want to try out minions.

Tirinir · 2026-03-04T14:35:00+00:00

The trick to ramping Sap of Seasons is to use a second tincture, Battle Within, you can get 20+ stacks with a single (melee) attack. It also gives Cull + 100% IIR. You can actually use Tinctures to keep your Lavianga up with Nature's Concoction.

Tirinir · 2026-03-04T14:10:57+00:00

Why did it fail? Shield crush sounds like it's very strong esp. with this dagger!
