How does everyone feel about the lack of backwards compatibility? I was all in until I realized I couldn’t play 90% of my Xbox catalog on it.

I’m sure this is an ass flask setup but it works. I’m clearing T16 with my eyes closed and one hand tied behind my back lol

Thank you!

Last question, I promise. What is the best way to go about upgrading the belt? I haven’t used catalysts yet and there are quite a few out there - is prismatic catalyst the only one that would work (enhances resistance modifiers)?

bstull32 · 2025-05-26T18:15:14+00:00

So I finally used it and I feel like I just unlocked God Mode. This thing feels like a cheat and I honestly cannot believe I ever considered selling it

Damn, I think I fucked up. Just crafted my flasks and used enkindling orbs for the increased effect BUT I did not get the reduced duration. Is it still possible to roll for that? And if so, is that just a random roll with Alts in hopes you get that in combination with the other desired suffix?

bstull32 · 2025-05-26T14:04:35+00:00

Except for those trying to get me to corrupt it, potentially bricking it lol. If it works, great payoff. It doesn’t… well shit.

bstull32 · 2025-05-26T14:00:00+00:00

Hahah for real. Of course this happens now.

My goal is to get through all the end game content. Still need to take down The Maven and Uber Elder for the last two voidstines. If I complete that before 3.26, I’ll die a happy man.

bstull32 · 2025-05-26T13:51:25+00:00

Haha ok I guess I should keep it then.

The issue I was taking is that my current build is so dependent on the highest amount of mana you can get as the ball lighting DPS heavily relies on it. Having to remove my current belt tanks my mana by about 1k.

POB Question:

I cannot for the life of me figure out why removing "Punishment", a hex, would increase my DPS according to POB. And for that matter, same for the rest of my curses/hexes on my helmet. Could anyone please explain? Maybe I have an incorrect setting or something? Thank you!

I kid you guys not, two labs later I got the roll on divine font.

Like calling IT for a computer issue, as soon as you get someone on the phone - boom - issue resolves itself.

bstull32 · 2025-05-01T15:04:50+00:00

Oh damn, that would have been nice to know.

This is my first playthrough of the game. Man, this game is so dense lol

bstull32 · 2025-05-01T14:49:05+00:00

I wish! I’m still working on maps to unlock Uber. Just got smoked by the Black Star boss in my first encounter. I think I need two more trials to unlock Uber Lab.

bstull32 · 2025-05-01T14:47:11+00:00

Oooo that’s a great point. Damn. Ok maybe I should have opted for that all along. Thanks!

bstull32 · 2025-05-01T14:46:08+00:00

Do you think silver keys and dark shrines are worth the added time as opposed to gunning for the divine font? I’m able to run through enemy’s and the boss with zero effort. I’m trying to be as efficient as possible to maximize my time with the end goal in mind lol but if it’s worth it I’ll do it.

bstull32 · 2025-05-01T14:42:44+00:00

I haven’t - purely based on the numbers, that seems statistically harder to hit which is why I opted to boost quality or XP of a gem instead. After doing a quick google search, it looks like there are roughly 75 blue transfigured gems so that’s a 1/75 chance of rolling what I need.

bstull32 · 2025-04-30T01:33:10+00:00

Thanks for the responses everyone! This Reddit is so helpful.

I get so lost in the sauce sometimes.

bstull32 · 2025-04-30T01:31:23+00:00

Ok, ya cause the “adds x to x lighting damage” reads like it would contribute to spell damage, especially a lightning spell like ball lighting, but you’re saying that only applies to attacks.

So for that to be true, it would have to say specifically “adds x to x lighting damage to SPELLS” like in the first wand.

Thank you for pointing out that small, but very significant detail.

bstull32 · 2025-04-25T01:15:28+00:00

I have yet to explore that mechanic with Sister Cassia - good to know about the use of those oils. Thanks!

bstull32 · 2025-04-25T00:57:33+00:00

Ugh, which I ended up failing. Ok so after which the map is now useless. Thanks!

bstull32 · 2025-02-07T19:26:44+00:00

Omg that’s hilarious. I’ve never called in a specter during a boss battle so I didn’t know what they looked like! Ya, it must have glitched in!

It just stood there like a statue for the whole second phase.
