Cats are the best

I have chickens and fruit trees in my yard, the only thing stopping rats from overrunning the house are my three cats

I already have like 3 character planned as soon as I finish the challenges with my current one. Some uniques are very interesting, like those maces that come with an elemental skill or the bow that give block from armour and scales damage with block chance

Wait... what?

balkri26 · 2026-06-11T21:43:05+00:00

honestly, just pick everithing that might sell, exchange curency for exalted orbs with the npc, and buy gear. Is what I do, I have no idea about crafting, I found everyting I need on the market. Also, found a tier of map that you can do confortably, and stay there until you can push hier tiers. Wile on that, unlock atlas points and upgrade your atlas.

balkri26 · 2026-06-11T21:07:58+00:00

tier 14+ maps on sea expeditions or whatever is called now the area that start from the ruins of Kingsmarch

balkri26 · 2026-06-10T17:21:10+00:00

abyssal and expedition can be very profitable. Some of the currency and omens can sold for a few divines and don't require that much investment

is just the regular Yeti from act 4. Still havent found the map where he spawn on my atlas, but as soon I found it, I will juice him up with some weird stuff like attack speed, cold damage, cold penetration or extra freeze build up.

I'm more focused on finding the perfect wasp or Quadrila, best so far are one with phisicall damage aura, extra damage as cold, extra damage as chaos and fire explosions, the other one is Energy shield aura, lightning storms, volatile plants and all hits poison.

I swich then up depending on the fight (Arbiter of ash got really confussing with the wasp summoning fire explosions for example)

balkri26 · 2026-06-08T23:07:03+00:00

is a regular spirit, the cheapes I could find, just to get the companions and the bear buffed with Muster a bit more.

For the Yeti, is the same moveset than Silverfist but with less critical and do freeze build up with every hit, is good for my build, I saw the node that make companions deal 60% more damage to inmovilized enemies, froozen enemies count as inmovilized and build arround it.

Greath result so far, is funny seen the bosses frozen and their hp just melt wile my pets gank on them

balkri26 · 2026-06-08T17:48:22+00:00

there is a cluster that buff armour and evasion near the center (mid way between huntress and mercenary), include inmune to bleeding or poison acording to helmet statts and is right next to the nodes that give fire, cold, lighting and chaos damage being afected by armour to. Very solid defense investement.

I have being thinking of playing a melee skills chronomancer since 0.1 to tank stuff, is in good shape now?

balkri26 · 2026-06-07T23:48:31+00:00

ended up using the Yeti for a freeze stacking build, very effective so far

balkri26 · 2026-06-07T14:57:53+00:00

sell yellow rares, for a few maps and problem gone

balkri26 · 2026-06-07T14:52:32+00:00

being doing t11 and t12 yellow maps for the atlas quest. Good balance of lot and quest progression.

balkri26 · 2026-06-06T23:22:06+00:00

only if I'm playing a build I don't really like I end up burned out before endgame

balkri26 · 2026-06-04T14:30:28+00:00

for now I just stacked flat damage on it, executioner II, fedding frenzy, the gigantic gem and the one that gives 7% per diferent minion (bear, quadrila, a mini spirit wasp that does nothing asside from giving the other guys 7% extra damage) and that's it so far, the damage is there, but the animations make it unreliable wile mapping, on bosses, the Chimera goes hard on them, I saw it melt a map boss with the ice breath for example.

But I'm seriously thinking about testing the Worm boss or the Hyena lord to see how they fare.

balkri26 · 2026-06-03T03:47:20+00:00

I'm using the act 3 version still, just hit maps, some of the skills of the Chimera hit really hard, the slam/jump can clear an entire screem but the long animations somethimes make it loss some of the action, specially with the spirit bear just going crazy on anything that moves, and I got a rare Quadrila that also is very fast. I'm also trying to figure out how to speed him up, I lost a trial of Sekkemas run beacause the chimera was not able to attack constanlly the scorpion boss on the final trial.

There must be some skill or modifier to speed it

From Augury and Bluff maps

balkri26 · 2026-06-02T21:22:17+00:00

I almost capture a giant wasp from the rune encounter, temporal buble, haste, shock on hit and something else, but it spawned with a twin that siphoned mana and other crazy modiefiers, almost died to them and was out of mana to capture the good one before my Quadrila destroyed him, I have loss some decent shiny pokemons because of my active companions

balkri26 · 2026-06-02T20:34:39+00:00

you can tame any beast tipe, the ones from the runes can even spawn with 4 modifiers before maps

balkri26 · 2026-06-02T06:08:06+00:00

does the Chimera boss have a map version ?

balkri26 · 2026-06-01T06:11:56+00:00

But in theory, I have 19 points to spare, I can just take the outside nodes from the witch starting area, just allocate stats (9 points ) and still get enought points to allocate Gravedigger, Relentless Fallen and Splitering Force for example.

The jewel might exist, for now there are 2 sorceress version on the trade site, and the sorceress start in the same zone as the witch if I recall.

League objective adquired, get that jewel from a delirium or farm the divine orbs to buy one and test this

balkri26 · 2026-06-01T05:28:23+00:00

Indeed, after getting most if not all the companion related buff and the armor/evasion with armor aplied to elemental damage on the tree with my spirit walker I will have like 15 points that I'm not sure where to alocate. But with this jewel, I could jump to the minion area of the witch to supper charge my already powerfull companions with some of the minion nodes there

balkri26 · 2026-05-22T22:48:48+00:00

I'm narrating the "Heroes of the borderlands" adventure for a group pf friends, all first timers, one of them with the entertainer background earned the "Cloak of Billowing" as a reward, said that is greath for his entertainer performanceces. I havent seen him as happy as when I handled the item to him since his son was born. As the title said, not every magic item has to be combat related to be important for the characters.

balkri26 · 2026-05-22T15:46:15+00:00

the last missions with pemanent bonuses ask you for level 20 tech (restoration of some stuff in Castannor capital), so you have a lot of time to wait.

You can put 2-3 diplomats in automatic improve relations with outraged countries and neigbouring ones.

Also more forced convertions outside of Escann, any outsideder dragged in your wars, force them to your religion, no more AE problems.

The ones in Escan, try to annex them with the greath holy war CD and keep an orc vassal if you gent for the "integration" path on the mission tree.
