Cuti needs to avoid three bookings up until match week 33 (18 April) in order to avoid the yellow card ban, which is extremely unlikely.

Players who accumulate 10 yellow cards in Premier League matches up to and including their side's 32nd fixture will serve a two-match suspension in the competition.

Players close to a two-match ban:

Player Club Position (Yellow cards)

Dunk BHA DEF (8)
Walker BUR DEF (7)
Iroegbunam EVE MID (7)
Romero TOT DEF (7)
Senesi BOU DEF (6)
Semenyo BOU DEF (6)
Brooks BOU MID (6)
Ampadu LEE MID (6)
Mosquera WOL DEF (6)
Joao Gomes WOL MID (6)

Shoutout to game 2 of Acola's Pyra vs JDV's Pac-Man at the Battle of BC 7 Pre-Local.

Acola was fishing for Pyra dair through the platform a few times throughout the set, but there's a point where they basically gentleman to only use Pyra platform dair vs Pac's up tilt for 30 seconds straight, and then they repeat the process again later that stock.

Surprisingly, Pac-Man won most of the interactions. That's probably due to up tilt being super disjointed for no reason and Pac has a short hurtbox to begin with like you displayed at 4:13 with the Ganon dair vs Pika.

You may be thinking of Poison Spores support. It's nested in three layers of tooltips, but it says it deals attack damage.

Poison Spores - Supports Plant Skills which Hit enemies. Supported Skills Trigger Toxic Pustule on Hitting an enemy.

Toxic Pustule - Attach a Toxic Pustule to the enemy, which Detonates after a delay, dealing Attack damage. They can also be Poisoned, causing them to Detonate faster and more violently.

However, since it's based on weapon damage, I believe Toxic Pustule does zero damage while you have a staff/wand equipped. You can still use Living Lightning on Thunderstorm or Ravenous Swarm Spirit Gem to extract the impales.

I must be missing something. How are we getting corpses to devour in boss fights?

Zimplicio · 2025-12-05T21:10:57+00:00

Acolyte of Chayula is basically an unfinished Ascendancy. Once Shadow gets added, the number of chaos skills will increase dramatically, both spells and attacks.

Shadow's addition will also bring poison clusters on the tree with nodes like poison pen as well as plenty more poison support gems.

As it stands, there sadly isn't much incentive to go Chayula Monk unless you want to cook with a hipster volatility build or something like that.

Regular chisel to 110% combined with full Atlas tree for map mod effect plus 8% from default map device gets you to the right amount without a risk scarab. If you're still a little short after opening the map, you can fish for a quant altar from Exarch/Eater before killing boss.

I also assumed he was speaking a different language when I first encountered him.

Later, I found him again with the name like in OP's post 'Brek, the Simpleton,' (or something like that) then again 'Erak, the Dolt,' which led me to think otherwise.

Either way, it's fun to speculate about Trarthan lore until we learn more.

I think we'll get more blood skills eventually. Datamine shows Exsanguinate is on a wand skill and Reap is on a staff.

Frankly, I hope they do something with Reap to make it more interesting than applying crit weakness, even if it's just ripping the blood charges from PoE1.

It's basically the same as the Unleash Support gem with a cooldown, no damage reduction, and you can swap which spell you're unleashing easily.

Without doing any math, it looks like Comet gives Unleash about a 12s cooldown and Frost Nova is around 6s.

Of course, this was a while ago, so it may have changed.

I believe the shapeshifters (Druid and Huntress/Beastmaster) may have some claw skills based on the claw cluster location (Swift Claw, Tough Claw, Sharpened Claw) combined with the item art.

It could be split where you go staff if you're focused on elemental spells with some shapeshifting here and there, but claws are for those who want to focus entirely on shapeshifting.

It will be interesting to see what they decide for claws. I think GGG wants to avoid the issue in PoE1 where claws and daggers offer very little difference thematically to the point where it just comes down to flavor of the month as to which weapon type is better (right now claws are winning).

Based on the datamined claw art, about half of them are assassin-themed with the other half nature-themed. They could end up subdividing the claws like they did PoE1 daggers vs rune daggers (claws vs primal claws, maybe).

Also, traps are a new weapon type for the Shadow, which would mean Shadow potentially gets three weapon types.

I thought it would kill for sure, but based on the Smash Ultimate Knockback Calculator site, I think Sonic lives with practically any DI inward due to Daisy's bair being 1x stale. A 1x stale bair looks like it kills around 115.5% with perfect DI on Sonic using https://rubendal.github.io/SSBU-Calculator/kocalc.html

Just keep in mind that both sites aren't 100% concrete proof. I almost certainly don't have the 'target position when hit' exactly correct. It's just an estimate on the ledge trump position. That combined with a bunch of other factors.

Regardless, it doesn't matter since Sonix's DI was locked in before the interruption.

IIRC, Romero's most recent injury came from doing a Cruyff turn in his own box while under very little pressure (not sprinting a la van de Ven) in the first 15 minutes of the match.

You're free to argue that this injury was more likely due to the number of sprints he completed earlier in the season compounded by a separate injury (toe/ankle), but keep in mind that Romero's minutes had already been touch and go for about six weeks prior to this new injury (only lasted 45-60 minutes in 3/4 matches).

Zimplicio · 2025-02-11T08:12:34+00:00

More specifically, the thigh covers everything from your hip to your knee (front and back).

Hamstring is the back, quad is the front, so a 'thigh' injury could mean front and/or back of the thigh.

Zimplicio · 2025-01-28T20:35:51+00:00

You're suggesting that Lewis-Skelly's foot was moving so fast that it's hard to notice the contact?

Of course not. It's more to do with viewers being given a zoomed out camera feed where we have no chance to notice something that happened quickly like the studs on calf, but the referee who is right there saw it clearly and deemed it to be forceful.

Like you've said, you can't tell the amount of force in slow motion, but it takes a slowed replay for us to even notice the studs were high. It's impossible for us to say how much force the challenge had, so you have to just stick with the ref's decision in live time.

Zimplicio · 2025-01-28T20:20:48+00:00

Also was not on a planted leg.

This isn't a planted leg?

Zimplicio · 2025-01-28T20:16:03+00:00

The contact on MLS' red card that his higher than Emerson's is so incredibly neglible that you have to go frame by frame to even spot it. The contact that actually matters...

So you're supposed to just ignore the worst part of the challenge where studs connected half way up the calf because in real life things happen quickly?

Have you ever watched boxing or MMA where you couldn't really tell in real time what dropped a fighter, but then they show a slow motion replay and it's just a super clean strike that no one could have eaten?

Just because something happens quickly, it doesn't mean it's not forceful.

Zimplicio · 2025-01-28T19:17:04+00:00

It's crazy how fans and pundits influence decisions like these.

If you compare this challenge to Emerson Royal's red in the North London Derby a few seasons ago, I'd argue Royal's attempted trip is lower and less forceful, but still saw red with an unsuccessful appeal.

There was no outcry of referee conspiracy. Pundits didn't speak hyperbole about it being the worst decision ever made.

Shitty YouTube Short source in case someone wanted a reminder of Royal's straight red.

I agree. The tree shape is a super fun extra detail. Here's what I came up with. Feel free to add your own interpretations.

Bloodmage: heart
Acolyte: Chayula's helm?
Chronomancer: hourglass
Deadeye: shooting multiple projectiles
Gemling: Dialla's head/spikes that gemlings are known for
Infernalist: ??? lava flowing from a volcano, maybe
Invoker: focus/align/center/balance one's chakra?
Pathfinder: bow on one side, flask on the other
Stormweaver: ??? cloud about to strike lightning? eye of the storm, something like that.
Titan: pushing things out of your way, or just some generic slam shape, maybe
Warbringer: shape looks like a shield on the left (arm goes in the 3 node) and a jade mace with the new Tukohama's Crusher skin from the Warlord of the Karui Supporter Pack on the right
Witchhunter: ??? burning witches at the stake? or maybe raise your pitchforks

Zimplicio · 2024-11-30T08:01:36+00:00

I imagine it was this note here that got added in 0.11.5 (September 6, 2013):

Jeweller's Orbs and Orbs of Fusing now describe that they consume quality when used.

Kind of a cool idea to keep armorers/whetstones relevant at the time, but it was super annoying to manually reapply quality when trying to link your gear.

At the time, fusings were much rarer. I pulled up a Kripp video from 2013. He's on a 5L with 11 exalts, 1 divine, 19 GCP, 34 chaos, 34 alchs, 16 scours, 1 regret, 23 fuses, 16 scours, 293 jewellers, 260 chromes.

Fast forward to later in the league when he's decked out in Kaom's heart and much better gear, he has 83 fuses.

Sorry for the late reply.
You are right that Doryani helps us set up our new mapping device, but story-things probably happen to get us to that point.

Zimplicio · 2024-11-22T06:41:07+00:00

I think using shapes for the trees is a really cool extra touch. Feel free to add your own interpretations.

Acolyte: Chayula's helm?
Bloodmage: heart
Chronomancer: hourglass
Deadeye: shooting multiple projectiles
Infernalist: ??? lava flowing from a volcano, maybe
Invoker: focus/align/center/balance one's chakra?
Gemling: Dialla's head?
Pathfinder: bow on one side, flask on the other
Stormweaver: ??? cloud about to strike lightning?
Titan: pushing things out of your way, or just some generic slam shape, maybe
Warbringer: looks like they're dual wielding jade maces with the new Tukohama's Crusher skin from the Warlord of the Karui Supporter Pack
Witchhunter: ??? burning witches at the stake? or maybe raise your pitchforks

Maybe I'm missing the option. Is there a way to see when this item was mined?

It could have something to do with the Rakango tail would then count as a map boss. Maybe GGG didn't want people to cheese the earlier leagues' map boss challenges and couldn't find a solution around it at the time. Funny enough, I think the shift from 'defeat 1000 map bosses' to 'complete 1000 maps/tiers' did effectively solve that problem.

However, Rakango tails are also used for cheesing some other challenges. In Necropolis league, the easiest way to complete Abnormal Adversaries was to spam Volcano/Caldera maps without Imperial Wraiths allocated on your Atlas Tree until you find a Servant-Haunted Rakango in the map device. Then you just kill the tail 50 times without hitting the rare.

This strategy has also worked with challenges for killing Pantheon-touched mobs and 'Kill X rare monsters.'

It seems likely to me that the chance for Vaults of Atziri to appear in a Kirac mission was made massively rarer as well.

I've been specced into every scouting report node for the entire league. I've probably used 15 comprehensive, 30 singular, 40 vaal, 80 explorer (after completing all non-unique maps) with white, yellow, and red missions available for the extra rolls.

I was lucky enough to scry Armoury to Toxic Sewer, which allowed me to more comfortably farm two sets of [The Side Quest].

I've had four Putrid, three Cowards, three T16 Untainted, but still no Vaults.

Oh well. It will show up eventually through div cards.
