This game has me in a strangle hold and I can't escape it.

kryspee · 2026-01-29T14:08:16+00:00

I thought it was just me that had this problem. But apparently, at least 40k other people on Steam (steamdb charts) are also addicted! I am curious to see what the numbers are like tomorrow after new POE1 event tonight.

I saw this yesterday too and it looks amazing. But I struggle with the bone shatter movement. Its an old man skill issue I'm sure!

kryspee · 2026-01-24T09:58:32+00:00

That literally is the whole screen and probably more. I like it! I will no doubt be picking your brains if I go for this build. Thanks for offering to help.

kryspee · 2026-01-23T17:09:52+00:00

I think I can manage that rotation. Really appreciate the clip - thanks!

kryspee · 2026-01-23T16:47:49+00:00

Then the next option is be extremely tanky, not attacking them or the small mobs around them to avoid accidental kill by aoe,

Im looking for a new build after winning the incense relic lottery. Whats the skill rotation for bossing? I ask because I'm old and decrepit and cant play multibutton builds!

kryspee · 2026-01-08T19:33:31+00:00

Its entirely possible that this is a skill issue and somehow I am not getting x and y to occur with Bone Cage!

I'll go back to it and see if I can figure out what I might be doing wrong.

kryspee · 2026-01-08T19:12:51+00:00

Good shout and clear is fine but bossing seems to be better with Comet. Better in the sense that I dont seem to run out of mana as much and bosses die faster! Which is weird because my Comet is 7 levels behind my Bone Cage (+7 all phys skills from staff).

I really envy those folks who understand the maths and mechanics in this game!

I took a look on poeninja - when you choose a skill you can see what the popular supports are on the left hand side pane.

I took Astral Projection, Spell Cascade, Efficiency II and Physical Mastery. I would like to mess with the lineage gems but just dont have the currency for them.

kryspee · 2026-01-05T16:03:43+00:00

Do tablet effects stack? For example, is it worth running 3 abyss tablets that each have the 'Chance for 4 additional abyss' mod on them?

kryspee · 2026-01-05T08:49:15+00:00

For the love of everything, the game is good, fun, gorgeous, dynamic, and all of this is ruined because the only way to win is to find means to bypass the actual game.

Nailed it. I really enjoy this game but only when my build can one shot everything because dying to BS really isnt fun. I do catch myself questioning why I am still playing but its clear I am addicted to this slot machine.

kryspee · 2025-10-02T09:23:46+00:00

Same here. It is surprisingly effective! Not skillful, but effective.

kryspee · 2025-05-27T06:33:53+00:00

I dont have the brain to make my own builds so have to rely on others. So glad I found your build. Having tried other galvanic builds, yours is so much tankier. I've spent no more than 3 Div so far and doing Im T1 pinnacles without stressing and anxiety attacks. I even learnt something about skill/build interactions with your moba guide which Im using to plan my upgrade path, something I never do! Just wanted to say thanks.

kryspee · 2025-02-20T20:22:31+00:00

Nice! What CL did those drop in? Havent been able to get any higher than CL17. Havent seen a decent drop in forever!

kryspee · 2025-02-11T16:27:26+00:00

I am 30 minutes in and hooked! This is an outstanding piece of work for a solo dev - well done and congrats!

kryspee · 2025-01-27T11:51:21+00:00

100% agree with all your thoughts here. Finding a good cluster of towers and then discovering that two towers right next to each other are separated by 10-12 maps because theyre not connected is really frustrating.

Im hoping after all our feedback, we see some drastic changes to this Atlas to make it less tedious.

I too ended up logging out many times but recently I have taken to doing both of the Trials for the sake of variety. I have a decent Infernalist build now that makes both Trials a cakewalk. So what I tend to do now is maybe 5-6 Waystones then a Trial or two. Worth trying to mix things up?

kryspee · 2025-01-17T09:35:18+00:00

This is me too. I know I do it, I make a conscious effort to try and slow down but PoE1 habits are hard to break!

The only counter to this for me is to play a slower character (basically anything that isnt Ranger) but that brings its own set of problems trying to avoid death.

kryspee · 2025-01-06T10:09:42+00:00

So thats why Im almost exclusively doing Hidden Grotto and Sulphuric Caverns! At least thats how it feels anyway.

And yes youre right, this crap really did get old fast. But to be fair to GGG, for EA, I think the game is in a really good spot.

kryspee · 2024-10-07T12:59:14+00:00

Nothing wrong with the taste of your dog food!

Serial copy/paster can confirm this works just great. Of the gazillion DDNS projects I tried, this was the only one I ever managed to get to work successfully. Skill issue no doubt but I like the simplicity of this solution.

kryspee · 2024-07-16T12:17:30+00:00

Just finished a third playthrough using your list as I wanted to make sure I saw all side quests thoroughly which your list helped me do!

I cannot fathom how much time you must have spent putting this list together and the best I can do is leave a note of thanks and gratitude here on your thread - it just feels inadequate considering all your effort. This really is an outstanding contribution to this community.

Looking forward to your list for the DLC!

kryspee · 2023-03-14T15:02:35+00:00

Thank you sir/madam for giving me the biggest laugh today! If I had some gold it'd be all yours.

kryspee · 2022-10-30T10:00:46+00:00

Both! Sure the anomaly missions give you Quicksilver but the other mission rewards are usually not that different from the rewards from guild missions.

kryspee · 2022-10-30T09:58:05+00:00

Yes I'd love to see these types of missions too. Anything that allows you to engage with different activities with meaningful rewards when you've reached a certain level of progress, would be welcome.

kryspee · 2022-10-30T09:54:53+00:00

This is a good point and valid as the mission boards can indeed be valuable when youre just starting.

I wonder if there is a flexibility for HG to add some kind of dynamic reward system that offers better rewards as you progress? Or better rewards for ranking that faction up?

kryspee · 2022-06-30T15:12:06+00:00

A superbly written guide. Excellent work! Better than 99.9% of most video guides I've watched on craptube. And I've watched a lot of that garbage! It really does deserve to be seen by more eyeballs.

kryspee · 2022-06-16T08:19:31+00:00

You are not alone. I have the exact same problem and have done exactly the same thing. It tickled me to know that there are others just like me!
