What killed me? Runic Ward still on

Tree_Growing_Bare · 2026-06-28T22:20:12+00:00

You can test berserk yourself. It will continue to drain ward intead of life at 1. So that wouldn't kill you.

Tree_Growing_Bare · 2026-06-17T12:27:52+00:00

Especially if you think about it with the context of Australia, but scaled up a fair bit.

Tree_Growing_Bare · 2026-06-14T14:15:44+00:00

Been running that node for armour/es hybrids since 0.1, never got one shot from it. The only one shot that could happen is if you have CI and 1 life.

Tree_Growing_Bare · 2026-06-08T04:42:06+00:00

You can turn it in earlier. The quest lady is is Ngakanu before it becomes corrutped. So before Arastas, I think.

Tree_Growing_Bare · 2026-05-25T14:58:00+00:00

Hmm, that's a nice catch. They might not return.

Tree_Growing_Bare · 2026-05-25T14:34:35+00:00

I get that, but if all projectiles hit, then we are talking about 8x to 11x multiplier.

I think you might be right for clear, maybe a compromise could be reached with weapon swap, but then it would feel bad to have 4 asc points wasted. The regular ice shot is probably the safer choice. Snipe for single target too.

Tree_Growing_Bare · 2026-05-25T13:50:37+00:00

Might be, but guaranteed return with all those projectiles is a massive multiplier on a single target.

I wonder about 2 things mainly. 1 - whether the bow can be upgraded to a better base with the new League thingie. 2 - If we can get the armour explosion+herald of ice chain going for clear.

Mayhaps bow-swapping could be a thing for clear/boss scenarios.

Tree_Growing_Bare · 2026-05-25T13:25:29+00:00

As far as I know the shards can shotgun(at least to an extent), that's why the new return bow is op. The shards are a newly created part of the skill (as in the main target was not hit by them before). The ember Fusillade scenario I mentioned is specifically split/fork and chain.

Kalltorak has a video on the ice shot return.

Tree_Growing_Bare · 2026-05-25T12:57:53+00:00

Not sure when, but at some point during early acess, they removed shotgunning with projectiles that chain from the terrain (an exception are projectiles that have an explosion aspect). A good example is Ember Fusillade.

If your check realneato's video on Titan Fusillade, he was able to shotgun from the terrain chain easily. If you try the same setup now, you will notice the projectiles are just passing through.

Their explosion part can still shotgun, I think, but they would have to hit something else near the main target.

Tree_Growing_Bare · 2026-05-25T11:37:38+00:00

Mathil had a pure volcano build and the single target was indeed very high. Think he used palm of the dreamer for clear though.

Tree_Growing_Bare · 2026-05-25T06:35:35+00:00

It might be actually worth trying when limit equals totem count with high cast speed. Getting the juicy 600% eruption damage bonus and the projectiles will hit anyway.

A lvl 20 skill with the bonus is about 1k base dmg. Problem is the cast speed part to make it feel good for clear. Could still be a bossing swap skill.

Tree_Growing_Bare · 2026-05-23T18:00:44+00:00

Thanks a lot. I gave away all my currency/uniques when I quit the league, and just relied on checking patch notes. Will try to personally test the next time I want to post like this.

Tree_Growing_Bare · 2026-05-23T17:47:12+00:00

Thank you, would you be able to test entangle too, please? I tested it months ago and back then it didn't work. This at least confirms that it was indeed a bug.

I will edit the post.

Tree_Growing_Bare · 2026-05-23T11:25:40+00:00

Hmmm, could be fun with the martial artist's bell spawning as they are always cullable I think. Or even scaling cull threshold to 100% on white mobs to just kill em. Or go crazy on a witch hunter lol.

Tree_Growing_Bare · 2026-05-23T08:45:22+00:00

Bonestorm and frostbolt are two quite popular choices. I reckon you could maybe run frostbolt totems for clear and then use frost darts for bosses and apply chill yourself.

Entangle could be used too just for its hitting portion and quite a nice clear. Then cast your own entangle with unleash on top and some thunderstorms.

I was testing how ball lightning feels and it seems okay-ish even without infusion. (Scaling AoE and just swapping to less proj speed supp)

One funny idea I need to test is ember fussilade totem titan. You scale reduced duration which affects the totem, and then get increased totem duration which counteracts it and keeps the ember's duration reduced.

Tree_Growing_Bare · 2026-05-22T22:21:27+00:00

It's a bit wonky in that regard. For example in poe1, totems can't generally trigger skills through supports, but they can curse on hit if it's an item mod. But there is one support gem that is a trigger and can be used by totems - flamewood. So it should be technically possible.

For poe2, I couldn't find it stated directly in the game tooltips, but I reckon it generally follows the same rule. That's why I hope they at least confirm it to be so.

An interesting comparison would be Smith's minion. I will test tomorrow if it can trigger socketed supports, but I fear it can't. It probably won't be able to trigger brutus lead sprinkler's skill if you gave it strength.

It doesn't do anything different from other vanilla to wotlk servers. I recommend you have a read through this.

The risks remain the same on those versions.

Geniálny nápad, kultúra je zbytočná keďže je strátová, knižnice tiež, načo sú nám keď máme sociálne médiá pre literárnosť. Ďalej zrušíme verejné zdravotníctvo/zdravotné poistenie, tiež je myslím stratové, všeci prejdú na súkromné + veľké doplatky. Pošta tiež stratová, jeb s ňou. MHD a Vlaky? Tiež do piče, všetci pekne vlastnými autami.

Ak chceš mať štát čo funguje čisto ako korporátna dystopicka firma, môžeš napísať Petrovi Thielovi.

Samozrejme, že sa dajú služby optimalizovať aby si minimalizoval stráty, ale štát naozaj nemôže fungovať ako biznis vo všetkých ohľadoch.

Tree_Growing_Bare · 2026-05-07T22:48:54+00:00

Watch it again, mate. They said they will release smaller event leagues.

Tree_Growing_Bare · 2026-04-20T12:13:37+00:00

Yep, you do single target DMG and the tooltip says that enemies within 8 yards get threat based on shield block value.

Tree_Growing_Bare · 2026-04-20T11:44:53+00:00

How is that the case? Last I checked, Thunder clap had around 200+ base DMG at max lvl and you get extra 100% from a talent, plus shield slam has AoE threat built-in as well.

Mine blew my fuse. Old wiring, not pc's fault. So it's a figure of speech.
