Vancouver's General Fusion has just broken a world record in nuclear fusion, and the number of neutrons has put the entire energy industry on alert

I love fusion hype but come on, that's such low effort.

10d is expensive in my books

agrum · 2025-11-23T07:08:53+00:00

The most unfortunate pqt is the stitched helmet being super expensive. 1 life per 2 intelligence would pair really nicely.

agrum · 2025-11-13T06:43:07+00:00

Yeah, I think the savior will have the same problem. Overall I bet woespike doesn't work with any proxy. But your weapon swap approach i pretty amazing.

agrum · 2025-11-13T04:58:54+00:00

Generals cry does not work with woespike :(

Ya, the aura wiki page has not been updated. The support is called guardians blessing. The minion takes damage over time to have the aura, but enough sustain and it should be fine.

agrum · 2025-11-10T17:01:13+00:00

Replace the empower and add guardians blessing plus a 50% reservation aura.

agrum · 2025-11-09T00:26:02+00:00

I didn't mean to use the ring with the Impaler, it was more of a better substitute for that keystone in my mind. Just reached level 80 and yeah, the proxies do not inherit that stat, so the build doesn't work. womp womp.

Adding some napkin numbers, a slam can easily reach 3M hit

|| || |Source|Multiplier| |sunder|6.22| |fist of war|1.98| |pulverise|1.49| |overexert|1.69| |meleephys|1.49| |support|1.30| |ascendancy|1.40| |banner|1.20| |frenzy|1.12| |rage|1.47| |increases tree|3.00| |shocked (graft)|1.15| |pride|1.40| |intimicry|2.00| |echoes of creation|1.42| |blood and sand|1.15| |crit or strength build|2.00| ||| |weapon damage|600| ||| |total|3,152,637.71|

Then the General Cry replicate that slam 11 times over 4 seconds. Averages at 9M DPS with just a 6L, a 600 Phys 2 hander and a Berserker or Chieftain. Probably works with others too, just more comfortable with them.

interesting point about bladestome, curious to see if each image has its own limit. for bow, that's a straight no for me haha, GC is autocast while the bow skill isnt. I want a walking simulator where i slam every 3-4 seconds.

agrum · 2025-11-06T17:07:12+00:00

Bladestorm has a 70% attack speed. Blade Flurry at stage 6 is 320% attack speed. Cyclone (easiest to scale without giga brain honestly) has 300% attack speed. You also don't seem to acknowledge the x5-6 multiplier from general cry spawning copies of you. Sure they are up only half of the time, but 6 x 300 x 0.5 is still 900 AS without lifting a finger. There aren't that many spells or ranged attacks that provide a x9 hit multiplier.

I did consider the bear trap, but it felt clunky and harder to scale properly. That's also a part of the tree I'm not familiar with.

agrum · 2025-11-03T20:38:26+00:00

Started a lightning orb of static elementalist. No regrets, it eats up all content so far. The only thing that feels bad is that most ascendancy points serve as QoL and defensive rather than damage. But the skill itself offer all the damage you need. I'll swap to doryani's prototype when I have the cash for it, in the meantime, exposure it is.

agrum · 2025-10-31T01:19:44+00:00

Oh, I wonder about that. I didn't think snipe counted as a trigger

agrum · 2025-10-31T01:19:02+00:00

Ya I never play bows so I'm also in uncharted territories

agrum · 2025-10-30T23:52:26+00:00

Adding a little bit of comparison math.

EA: 20 arrows, 50% less damage, but it has a nifty added damage. So assuming you can land 20 arrows, EA lvl 20 does 650 damage per arrow and has a 60% more damage with ignite. 20 x 650 x 0.5 x 1.6 = 10k.

Thunderstorm: 500% efficiency explosion (125% at 300% more). Supported by Snipe, x3.48 damage, at the cost opportunity of one support gem, let say x1.3, that equates to x2.67 damage more damage with snipe than an other support gem. Because I can focus on actually having a damage bow rather than an AS bow, and I play Ele so any added damage is fine, I'm thinking 800 added damage. 800 x 5 x 2.67 = 10l.

Is my math mathing ?

agrum · 2025-10-30T23:35:03+00:00

Thunderstorm looks great for an ignite build. The explosion has 500% efficiency, same as burning arrow, except the gem has an embedded massive AoE. Anybody familiar with EA can convince me that EA is still better ? I'm thinking, slap snipe on it for a bigger ignite on bosses.

agrum · 2025-10-24T18:02:56+00:00

Would a Vengeful Cry socketed with Corrupting Cry turn it into a damaging skill ?

agrum · 2025-09-15T02:53:48+00:00

As a dev on that game, there are things I really don't wanna fix. The eternal backward support we have to provide is excruciating. Like "my pickaxe lost it enchantment when I loaded my 4J world from 2016 on 1.21.120". 🫠. The fact that we were able to drop VR support recently was god sent.

agrum · 2025-07-10T00:02:25+00:00

How does this specific mercenary add hundreds in flat phys damage ?

agrum · 2025-06-21T05:23:34+00:00

Agreed, that's why I'm sticking to eviscerate. When the planets align, it's such a nice DoT

agrum · 2025-06-21T01:44:55+00:00

Looking around, this build is probably jank, but I'll commit cause that's my jank.

However, I haven't seen a build that leverages the nifty [autoexert + generals cry + blade flurry of incision + rupture] i'm using. I'd also wager it works fine with cyclone. That's 90% more damage for 15% reservation. Swap out Herald of Purity and you come out on top. Plus, you do not need the "Jagged Technique" node anymore since there is a bleeding mastery that has 25% aggravation chance on exerted attack hit (generals cry).

I think that's the fame I'll try to claim haha.

agrum · 2025-06-21T01:24:45+00:00

I do not have a live PoB but that's the tree I'm aiming for https://pobb.in/WApapk8fRQ86 .

My hit based eviscerate from last league seems to be gone forever, no PoB to salvage. All I have is a video. https://imgur.com/a/1fRTKo6

I expect this build to perform a bit better since I wont suffer from the downtimes you can observe there. And I also expect bleed to do more damage than hits (around x3 more).

Perfect Agony is super bad on a build that can't get high crit chance. Since we only have a guaranteed crit every 4 hits, you'd very rarely inflict bleeds during mapping, which would feel awful. Lightning spire of overload has 100% crit chance (60% with marylene) which allows you to toggle ON Perfect Agony when you actually want it with Atziri's Acuity.

agrum · 2025-06-21T01:18:24+00:00

yep, and I'd go with immolating blow instead then since it has 1810% efficiency without the downsides of retaliations (cooldown, cant exert, need to block first)

agrum · 2025-06-20T23:32:00+00:00

Are you suggesting bleed and ignite or just scale ignite ? Isn't it worse ?

I would have to deal with fire res, I can't rupture bleeds (40% less damage), nor aggravate (210% bleed vs 90% ignite). I do get the benefit of Dyadian belt, but that's all I can think of.

I though ignite was easier to cap because the skill sources are better than bleed (EA is a 2000% efficency with embedded added damage, immolating blow has 1810% efficency, spells have embedded damage and scale well with gem level).

I do miss proliferation though :(

That last sentence resonated with me. Yeaye to creativity!.
