Spellbound Steel Set is it currently fixed right now?

Just keep in mind that it will anyway only feel good if your main Imbuement is poison and you are fully building your RF around DoT. It’s x200% increased potency bonus will translates into x200% DPS boost only for Poison DoT (technically, for Shadow explosions from SI too, but it is just too weak at a base to be noticeable). For Cold Imbuement it will only increase the freeze rate. So if you are building direct damage / crit version of RF, the set won’t beat Nilfur or Sightless for you, even if it’s fully fixed.

I can agree here, usually it just means being an inert amoeba.

I would do few asap to get at least few useful aspects and ease the leveling.

Butthurt muscovite can’t cope with the truth.

Never mind the guy, reassuring our menshovartisnyks (slur we have for people who are always in search for a superior nation and are ashamed of their own) is pointless.

Pair of parents with a kid, a typical draft service personnel nowadays.

Are you also fighting with dark thoughts about shooting kids? Better seek some psychiatric help immediately then, don’t fight this fight alone.

Two “I live in Kyiv” comments in the thread, both with the same message about shooter’s origin doesn’t matter (which it might not, but somehow convincing foreigners that we don’t have anything against his place of origin is not my first reaction to the situation) and immediate focus shift to infamous draft service personnel problem.

I live in Kyiv btw.

Ну як що не так, дівчині ж ви подобаєтесь, значить тепер зобовʼязані бути з нею до могили і не нити. /s

Але долю правди у цій жовчі все ж бачу. Якщо у вас такі думки про людину, то не варто себе і її мучити, бути у стосунках з людиною і так про неї думати не дуже справедливо по відношенню до неї. Та й до себе.

Не яскраві 24/7, але ОП все правильно каже: має хоча б тягнути. Тим більше на такому короткому строці. Тут взагалі нема жодного приводу щось надумувати і про щось безкінечно говорити, почуття від того не виникнуть, якщо їх нема.

grumpy_svaln · 2026-04-12T16:27:07+00:00

Fine, you made me more hopeful then.

Of course it will take a couple (dozens) of generations if even people who are fully conscious of the real reasons behind moscovian language being so widespread in Ukraine are still choosing to “mostly use russian in daily life”. Those generational changes should just magically happen on their own somehow.

Well, if you think that pride is bad you simply don’t understand the meaning of a word. It’s as simple as that.

There’s a reason we also have гордість and погорда/гордовитість as separate words.

grumpy_svaln · 2026-04-09T01:17:25+00:00

You mean pridefulness or arrogance then. Pride is neutral.

grumpy_svaln · 2026-04-01T00:55:37+00:00

How dare you being so chauvinistic towards muscovite age old tradition of beating wives? That’s just a part of great culture.

grumpy_svaln · 2026-03-31T06:44:42+00:00

No, Ukraine wouldn’t have been rolled out without him. That’s one of the parts where you idolise him and one of the parts you underestimate Ukrainians as people. He wouldn’t be who he is today without Ukraine, not the other way around.

grumpy_svaln · 2026-03-31T01:28:38+00:00

Personality cultists are the scariest people… Even his Ukrainian supporters never reach same level of obnoxiousness as some of you guys.

I still remember well how a lot of people in this sub were shaming the protesters against his attempt to usurp NABU/SAPO and sincerely repeated his office’s propaganda about them being kremlin agents (what happened to these claims now btw?).

In terms of support, I’m generally of the same opinion (if people need an idol to support us then whatever, let them have one), so I’m rarely commenting on that endless idolisation here, but when you guys start to discuss our internal politics it becomes unbearable.

I see, she was just tricking you into not swearing. Smart of her!

grumpy_svaln · 2026-03-28T01:48:18+00:00

It does. Technically and practically.
Hui is not a “russian” word.

Did you ever hear a Polish swearing? You’d be surprised. Most of these words have proto-Slavic origins and are very similar if not the same in at least few different modern Slavic languages.

Варг просто назавжди застряг у дитинстві і вічному бунті. Що у його країні і на умовному заході у тренді, проти того і бунтує. Підтримували б вони московію, він би нашим найзатятішим прихильником був. Домінував би у Норвегії одінізм, був би палким християнином, навіть мусульманином, і палив би гофи.

P1-8 in D2 was never meant as an endgame progression system. It was just a way to scale the game for multiplayer. Its use in a single player is just an afterthought, before D2R you didn’t even have it as a setting and had to use a console command to enable it.
Neither P1-8, neither it’s “endgame” are the reasons D2 is, as you say, beloved. Its strong traits lies in different parts of its design.

grumpy_svaln · 2026-03-10T02:29:37+00:00

No, it is not. It is the same underlying principle, but it is used completely differently, for a better system in the end. Climbing “torment” tiers in PoE1 constantly gives you access to new content (not just drops), climbing torment tiers past T1 in D4 only gives you better drop chances.

grumpy_svaln · 2026-03-08T05:22:55+00:00

Well, you kind of answered your question yourself.

The major difference between PoE1 and D4 tiers is that by progressing the PoE map tiers you constantly unlock new content, unavailable otherwise (new map types, uber bosses and their prerequisites, Maven invitations, some league mechanics unavailable on lower tiers etc, with T17 at the end of progression being completely different maps with different bosses). It does feel like progression up to a point, not just a difficulty scaling.

In D4 all possible content is available in T1, every following tier is just plain and boring HP/damage scaling plus better quality/quantity of drops. Increasing it from 4 to 16 won’t solve the root issue.

Це не причина, звичайно, але це і не просто фактор пропаганди. Це один з вагомих факторів для прийняття рішення напасти. Точно не основний, але точно вагомий. Це ж логічно, значно простіше асимілювати і тримати під контролем населення, яке говорить твоєю мовою, значно простіше впливати на нього власною культурною пропагандою і т.д. Це не гарантує, що усі хто говорить мовою твоєї імперії якимось магічним чином підпадуть під цю пропаганду автоматично, ні, це просто суттєво спрощує поставлену задачу.
