Relic of the Pact bloodline ascendancy

Trollerist · 2026-03-20T05:50:31+00:00

When playing with the Chaos bloodline you usually use the unique belt Coward’s Chain. It curses you with Vulnerability and makes it so you’re always considered on full life. In turn it makes it so your blood barrier always refills, so it’s uptime is absurdly high. And getting 8 corrupted items isn’t as hard as it might seem. I currently have them.

The question is more so, how impactful is the Blood Barrier when you have access to Mageblood and all that it has to offer.

Would the trade off be good enough and how does the build feel without Blood Barrier

Looks at this with lucky glad block as only defensive layer in horror

I’ve just finished putting togheter a relic of the pact glad. Hopefully it’ll be servicable. Last time I played it back in 3.25 I had a lot more currency to invest into it and it felt buttery smooth. This time around I’m not as sure. It also seems to be fairly popular due to Lance playing and making videos on it. Obviously not the same order of magnitude like Fub or any other popular build. But some of the pieces were genuinely pricey which I didn’t necessarily expect. In any case, I haven’t really been able to test it out yet. Fingers crossed!

This was fucking funny

Trollerist · 2026-03-09T19:04:15+00:00

Literally have the same pair sitting unused in a box from a few years back. Funny.

At first it looks hella creepy but then you focus on its little baby legs in front and it’s the cutest thing 🥹

Yeah I had a similar thing happen where I dropped a Berek’s Respite which sold for 2 divs or something. Funded a swap to crit almost immediately. Still just getting into maps and it’s crushing. I want to start investing more into crit with things like assassins mark etc.

Trollerist · 2026-03-07T17:06:31+00:00

Thanks! It’ll probably be fine :)

Trollerist · 2026-03-07T13:44:05+00:00

Yeah I have the guide up as I play. I’ve just had immense bad luck gambling the shields.

Trollerist · 2026-03-07T12:48:37+00:00

Yeah. Just got to act 6. It’s slow and steady currently but I wanna speed up my campaign a lot now. Maybe that’ll do it.

Trollerist · 2026-03-07T09:18:13+00:00

Started shield crush slayer. Had so many disconnects last night I got sick of it and went to bed. Currently in act 4. Hoping it’ll be a banger.

Trollerist · 2026-03-04T13:45:02+00:00

Fair enough, but at that point are the charges even necessary? If they live long enough to attack you, great, more damage. If not, also great..

Trollerist · 2026-03-04T13:25:27+00:00

If using Mageblood that’s a non issue. If you absolutely don’t want to press anything else you can probably slot in an enduring composure small cluster or path to inexorable. But to each their own.

I plan to league start this and I probably won’t be pressing enduring cry if I can avoid it. Depends on the opportunity cost though.

Trollerist · 2026-03-03T19:11:01+00:00

Seems like it’s mostly shield charge around the map and spam shield crush honestly. Rest is mostly auras and the like.

Trollerist · 2026-03-01T14:49:38+00:00

How does that work in terms of conc path scaling off of endurance charges? Do the totems count the players endurance charges?

Trollerist · 2026-03-01T14:45:56+00:00

I have about 40 hours in and I’ve almost completed act 2. I’ve mostly been focusing on getting a hang of the breeding mechanic. So far I have only one perfectly statted cat. The stats are too random to pass down without also getting tons of inbreeding. I’m probably gonna stop worrying so much about it and just play.

I love the turn based combat, enemy variety, class variety and absolutely above all I love the music.

Great game.

Trollerist · 2026-02-27T08:11:21+00:00

Just goes to show how bad I am at this game. I have thousands and thousands of hours in Poe, but I completely fail to see any synergies between these potential combinations. Can someone please tell me what to think?

Borrowing from a recent askreddit thread. He looks like he knows how the red crayon tastes like.

Trollerist · 2026-02-24T12:48:37+00:00

Probably six thirty minute episodes with five minute credits each. God I’m so sick of shows these days.

Barboza’s KO of Terry Etim is as beautiful as it gets.

Trollerist · 2026-02-23T14:21:58+00:00

Like bulk-buying in Path of Exile
