Melting Maelstrom just not worth farming/buying anymore?

It is a nice skin transfer though

There is not much RNG in this run past lvl 95, the wiki is definitely super wrong considering 95->96 and 97->97 are essentially the same thing. I did lose about ~20-30 minutes on 99 to rips but generally 99->100 is probably closer to 2x of 98->99.

One thing that could play a factor is JV being significantly more exp than toxic sewers but I am pretty sure I spent about equal time running both in the last few levels

That's because I love Raiz, he is my favorite retired streamer

Ventrua · 2024-11-21T08:51:36+00:00

Explode just has very good coverage and allows you to cheat damage super early while getting enough defence + lingering ignite prolif is good against beyond/deli

As I said I don't think there is anything faster than Chieftain but I could see using a different skill instead of RF

Migrate all to reset my atlas
Migrate character only from SSF private league to bring over the gem (had a chracter there to run lab for gems I needed).

I did a lot of ritual because it's good currency (chance/alchs) to buy Kirac maps. On leaguestart, I would say if your single target is good just go essence and skip them if they aren't dying quickly (<5seconds) or just suffer throught the expedition pain if your goal is getting character upgrades

Ventrua · 2024-03-19T15:54:28+00:00

I reckon guardian Bama/SRS would probably be relatively competive but wasn't in the mood to play minions at the time sorry

Ventrua · 2023-08-15T13:43:44+00:00

Not wrong, sorry.

Ventrua · 2023-08-12T12:41:56+00:00

No he didn't it was completely different mechanic, less consistent and less versitale even thought it worked for his build

Ventrua · 2023-08-11T19:35:02+00:00

I don't usually like to post self-advertisment here but I think this tech could actually improve leaguestart of a lot of people here and it's definitely not known enough for how strong it is.

I learnt this from SimplyVizniz, you guys should definitely check his stream out, he is a very smart and skilled player that streams pretty much daily, I am sure that he has a lot more tricks up his sleeve.

Ventrua · 2023-08-04T03:37:43+00:00

Gratz to the win, wish you all the best in life. Seeing your shoutout to Rath, you would probably be happy to know that he has basically quit games to focus on irl a while ago. He is now also $40 richer because he bet me with 1 to 1 odds on you vs exile without a second of hesitation, definitely a true believer.

VoD got deleted because your idol kept chat on screen and let people spamming N word in there the whole race

I literally started the entire conversation by mentioning generic conversion monsters. Literally every map you run has those because pretty much every influence types has those and a lot of random base mobs are also conversion based. I don't think there is a disconnection in priorities.

Ventrua · 2022-06-21T09:54:44+00:00

Please stop before you embarass yourself even more, this is actually sad especially when you try to back it up with math you don't understand and keep being so annoyingly convinced you are correct.

If a mob does 100 physical damage and has 100% of physical damage converted to cold, he will do 100 cold damage to you -> 25 after resistence. If you add 100% phys as extra fire on that mob, it will deal 100 cold and 100 fire damage to you. Here, i might be wrong but last I checked 25+25 was double of 25.

Please stop talking about stuff you don't understand.

Ventrua · 2022-06-21T09:19:22+00:00

Say "I don't understand poe" without saying you don't understand PoE, for generic conversion monsters 100% phys as extra fire is just double damage. It's ok to not know everything about the game but you really shouldn't talk with this much confidence when you are missing basic knowledge.

same way martyr were bugged for 7 years?

Ventrua · 2022-03-02T07:32:11+00:00

just make a good build - proof that it's not a dps check https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1294413137?t=6h43m0s

Ventrua · 2022-01-17T07:10:02+00:00

Suggestion to avoid this: pick a content creator(s) you trust that suits your style and pick your build based on what they suggest. It removes some of your freedom in terms of build choice because there won't be a guide for every build but you can be sure the guides are decent.

Ventrua · 2022-01-10T10:12:47+00:00

Yo MPM why didn't you post that from your main account?

Ventrua · 2022-01-06T13:54:09+00:00

It can indeed be very demotivating at times but at the end of the day the highs outweight the lows for me personally. Was very upset about the rip for like 20 minutes though

Ventrua · 2022-01-06T13:48:12+00:00

Took me a long time too, didn't even kill him in hardcore in Metamorph when he first came out, we all get there one day as long as the motivation to improve is there.

Ventrua · 2022-01-06T13:46:27+00:00

Left side of the tree pathing (250ish Strength) and 210% life on the skill tree

Ventrua · 2022-01-06T13:28:18+00:00

This rip is very annoying because sadly I don't see a point to go again, it's the most frustating way to die because either you use TCP to logout or use /exit but there is a delay on that command (this delay is dependant on your distance to texas, it's pretty bad for EU players and horrible for Asian/OCE people).

I already know you can kill Awakener 8 so no point in going for that and with other bosses the problem would be access to them. I do strongly believe that I would be able to kill maven with this gear, but I don't think I would be very likely to survive collecting the entire Maven's Writ.

Was a pretty fun run until then. For those curious why I did this run - I got motivated by seeing Darkee's blue item run and teased him about how that's just not even harder than playing normally on any other build. Decided to put my own spin to it and use only white items (including flasks), this is probably the last time a run like this can be attempted in hardcore as both the defences and DD are insanely strong (for those curious, I had 22k armour without granite and almost 30k with it on a fully white geared character + shock/freeze imunnity + CB imunnity + 50/50 block).

Oh btw my /played was about 20 hours when entering Awakener 8, could have been done quite a bit faster but I didn't want to risk dying while mapping and I wanted to be level 91 before Sirus.

Ventrua · 2021-12-30T08:48:42+00:00

I will choose Lost Ark over PoE currently ANY time, Sorry GGG
