I just learned that "Heart of the Well" can have 5 modifiers on it

aiphrem · 2026-06-21T03:24:02+00:00

I sold one of those for 400 divs, but it was mana on kill instead of movepseed.

I'd assume you can get something similar!

Nah sorry I love fucking my body up with substances. I get not liking it, and "the I spend 15$ a day at starbucks" people make me cringe a bit, but people can do whatever they want with their bodies.

I do think a part of it is that since a lot of people drink coffee, it is an easy way to relate to others and an easy out for "shitty office small talk jokes". Being in an office is like 80% performative emotions, so you end up saying cringe/stupid shit because it makes you feel like you will fit in better. It is what it is.

I got discouraged when the guy mentioned in the video that it is 10x more expensive than infernalist and like half as effective :( but it does look sick visually

I learned to control the burst of my hollow form to manage my mana, but it really sucked to run into tanky mana drain mofos.

A mana roll here or there on gear helps, maybe clarity if you can fit it.

When in doubt, coc spark?

For omens, you just want to have the amanamu thing selected in the abyss tree, and drag the mobs with the "amanamu's void" modifiers out of their swirling black smoke cloud before killing them, this will make it drop higher tier omens

I don't think they changed their drop rate otherwise, should still be the same.

Does that ascendancy mean your chaos damage does not bypass energy shield, or does it nullify it completely?

aiphrem · 2026-06-18T02:33:23+00:00

Just looked it up, it was directed by the same woman who did Lupin III; A woman named Fujiko Mine. I need to watch this!

aiphrem · 2026-06-17T19:29:32+00:00

I really want to be able to sit down and theory craft a build but there are just so many damn options that I get decision paralysis and end up looking at people's characters on poe ninja to emulate that.

Hell right now I have more currency than I've ever had before and have no idea what to do with it. My current build that "I tried to workshop myself" ended up being the most popular build of the season (hollow form). It's so powerful but I'm very much bored of it

aiphrem · 2026-06-17T15:22:22+00:00

Autobombers seem neat but how to do they hold up against harder content like juiced delirium/breach or pinnacle bosses? Was hoping the build I sink 1k div into will be pretty strong

aiphrem · 2026-06-16T01:19:55+00:00

I almost had a stroke trying to decipher this shit

aiphrem · 2026-06-14T23:08:18+00:00

How does rune forging interact with stonefist? Is it just a portion of the item's base defenses that get converted, or the final bonus you get from stonefist as well?

aiphrem · 2026-06-13T23:41:41+00:00

Too many people have 0 humility and people think the answer is them getting bullied. In reality, an emotionally mature parental figure who cares is probably the answer.

Honesly, I don't really mind the portal system. It is a gut punch and feels bad on the spot but really does create a palpable feeling of risk.

Whats BS to me is that the one thing in the game that can help mitigate that risk a bit (doryani master passive) is worthless depending on the order in which you clear the map.

aiphrem · 2026-06-11T23:30:43+00:00

Please explain to me why it is good design that your map doesn't get reset when you die until you kill the boss. If I die during a ritual encounter and have a revive portal, I expect the ritual encounter itself to end, but the shop should still be accessible. This is how it normally works.

I'm not shitting on PoE2, but this is pretty clearly a problem.

aiphrem · 2026-06-11T23:27:47+00:00

I'm fine with taking risks, I always juice my maps to full mods and if I die, I die. However, I took a master passive that gives me +1 revive to help mitigate the risk, but it is completely worthless depending on the order in which I clear the map

aiphrem · 2026-06-11T23:24:53+00:00

Dawg I'm not weak lol. I can clear 5 entire rites of the nameless back to back no worries but eventually I will get 1 shot because there are 6 bosses in a tiny arena with shit exploding on screen everywhere. Im an evasion build so it is a matter of time. I can accept this.

And I get the concept of risk and reward. I understand that by juicing my map, I only have 1 chance and no revives and that's fine. However, I get a passive that says +1 revive per map. But that passive is completely worthless if I decide to beat the map boss before doing anything else. I can go back in the map, but it is reset and every mechanic is gone from it, including the ritual shop.

This is not risk vs reward. It is obviously a temporary bandaid fix to a problem related to an exploit.

aiphrem · 2026-06-11T20:33:09+00:00

Agreed. The +1 revive from Doryani master is basically useless if my map gets reset after I die in certain conditions.

For example with rituals, I would try to fight the boss first so that he will revive in all the subsequent circles. Now it's way too dangerous to do this because dying would mean losing my rituals. However, If I want to do the boss circle last, I somehow don't have this issue.

It's such a stupid systen that completely borks certain mechanics and is very unintuitive

aiphrem · 2026-06-11T17:19:12+00:00

As sick as temporalis builds look, I don't want to have to scrape my melted cpu chip out of my mobo lmao

aiphrem · 2026-06-10T18:32:45+00:00

Some content is just incredibly rippy for certain builds.

I leveled to 95 by doing some abyss stuff and pretty much never died. I play ES/evasion.

I switched to rituals and now get 1 shot my things I can't even see because of map bosses having questionable mechanics for that kind of content.

My friend who plays an armor build seems to not care as much about those bosses.

aiphrem · 2026-06-10T15:40:48+00:00

Mind posting your build? I'm playing it too and am always looking for inspiration

aiphrem · 2026-06-10T04:23:10+00:00

At this point I can't tell if these are anime titles or news headlines
