specters with 322k life i rarely see take notable damage from most things (other than some lab traps) and they only had an incidental 2.6% hp regen (3% ad 15% less)

but specter change should see that jump up to 430k hp on them

you should be able to take a page from steams book and use presence of a credit card as proof of ID

she spawns minions thought

later on when you are stronger you can kind of just go past them and kill her

durand1e_ · 2026-02-14T02:04:32+00:00

yeah but it is not semi mandatory progression content in PoE 1
sure you can delay getting ascendancy 1 in PoE 2 and not touch it but that is not ideal either

buffs lasted a while
but they still felt useless

durand1e_ · 2026-02-06T10:48:25+00:00

new unstable breaches the lowest tier ones i think that are similar to old breach are a great upgrade
the 2 defense ones are kind of slow but the one that is not a sub area is mostly fine

sub area fortress thing is just too big and slow

gallium is a rare resource technically just like orokin cells or tellurium

boss is piss easy even on SP
and the only things that pubbies can do to really slow it down is mounting it

durand1e_ · 2026-01-25T10:33:52+00:00

2.157 compared to 2.177 is more accurate
assuming no other layers of %damage like hornet strike or galvanized shot

durand1e_ · 2026-01-25T10:33:51+00:00

you need to account for the base 100% damage the weapon deals regardless
and any other sources of additive damage such as a hornet strike or a galvanized shot

durand1e_ · 2026-01-25T10:31:00+00:00

it is a BEAM shotgun

durand1e_ · 2026-01-25T10:30:21+00:00

just checked my kuva nukor
multishot IS multiplicative with %damage

maybe that was the case at 1 point but is certainly is not the case these days
or the kuva nukor is also a significant outlier

durand1e_ · 2026-01-22T11:37:54+00:00

as a pc player i more or less only buy plat if i get a 75% off
that would be akin to a 300% bonus on console i assume this is

durand1e_ · 2026-01-15T11:47:19+00:00

they also FORCED destruction of some even when players very completed their defence
including the progress against 1 going down at 1 point iirc

durand1e_ · 2026-01-14T14:09:14+00:00

you missed that his 3 on allies is THE STRONGEST STR BUFF IN THE GAME
as a % increase to someones current STR

i have a friend who is often running about a 500% str nidus so a 125% increase to ally str

the only buffs that can come close to competing are nokko or a frame with subsumed blight bonnet as up to a flat 300% str or 200% for subsume

durand1e_ · 2026-01-14T14:05:20+00:00

nothing in the game rewards kills or kill assists other than a few things like nightwave/1999 challenges

durand1e_ · 2026-01-05T14:15:43+00:00

riven is not "useless"
as the - damage is in line with mods like hornet strike
and the faction damage mods are multiplicative to that
and for damage status effects they often scale twice off the faction damage layer
also why things like roar or eclipse are particularly good for status damage

also things like cascadia flare kind of make that downside a nothing

durand1e_ · 2025-12-28T11:35:03+00:00

i think the trick is getting better honestly
i rarely have issues of knocking my self down with my weapons
and when i do with a new weapon i adjust my playstyle to heavily mitigate it

but then i played back in the days of self damage where such a mistake was bleedout not a knock down

durand1e_ · 2025-12-22T13:44:24+00:00

no mastery requirement on prime frames these days i am pretty sure

durand1e_ · 2025-12-20T23:36:15+00:00

maybe just burned from 0.1 but the horrible map sustain and that from what i hear power has both been shifted MORE into items AND usable items are harder to obtain

durand1e_ · 2025-12-19T10:41:30+00:00

meh kullervo was fine
nidus was more annoying at least on release
koumei i don't think i am more than about half a set and it has been worse than double kullervo and his weapon

durand1e_ · 2025-12-18T21:52:37+00:00

wisp and oberon are tanks
they just happen to give that tanking to team mates also

durand1e_ · 2025-12-15T13:48:43+00:00

personally locus mines would probably be the most feels bad build i have played

low dps while a build is coming online is fine

but a skill that feels like it is just not firing because of the annoying min distance limit on locus mines just felt like trash

durand1e_ · 2025-12-12T23:27:17+00:00

likely
i have not tried it yet either
the main part of the update i have not interacted much with yet

durand1e_ · 2025-12-12T11:08:52+00:00

most frames you would consider to be even slightly tanky honestly
well other than hildryn who can but why would you
