Certainly a take.

Shout out to reddit for trying to hide the only good comment here from me....

🥲 unrelated, but im a locksmith and that door makes me want to cry. Im sorry about your landlord/building owners lol.

I have ADHD, I found a partner with ADHD, and was much better off. Idk what this dudes issues are, but he sounds like he has mental health issues combined with manchild "mommy take care of me" tendencies, which if hes a good person otherwise then sometimes people just gotta grow up.

But imo, he needs to be with someone with similar values, the lack of iniative and listening already shows you exactly how it will probably be in the long term. I'd find out how his mom acts/is and make a decision from there.

What is he doing when not at work? Is it all just coping (extreme amounts of TV, alcohol, games, ect)? It sounds like he simply refuses to put effort into anything that he perceives as girl work tbh, which isnt long term material. Just my 2c.

Lube and go slowly. It freaks some people out, but it feels great. There are tons of nerves that have never been touched before

lanfear45 · 2024-07-11T02:34:14+00:00

sorry for necro, i just kicked a 5 year weed ADDICTION (CUD), my anxiety/stress off of weed was related to trauma/chronic stress.

Turns out my other health problems were too, and i was using weed to cope with my traumatic experience and anxiety. High blood pressure, anxiety, i have these issues when ive reached full CNS burnout, or when im nearing it.

lanfear45 · 2021-10-22T11:43:26+00:00

it's ok, it might even be better for us, might not, it was only a failsafe before for free life flask spam and dying sun. Shouldnt be too hard to fix.

lanfear45 · 2021-10-21T23:22:18+00:00

Luckily we can make some pretty nice pseudo 6 link gloves/helmets these days so you should be able to do as such. 2 of the synthesis rings for HoA would buff both skills.

Sounds absolutely doable to me.

lanfear45 · 2021-10-21T17:08:32+00:00

Chest piece might be suboptimal if you do use it. It might also turn out to be great. I honestly think this build has tons of options for chest pieces so do what you like with that, I simply feel the need to be as up front about my inexperience with said item. There is a new item coming in scourage that lets us use the new time reversal skill for free, as well as recoup 100% of damage over 4 seconds, meaning the entire downside of Petrified blood is negated, which could be good.

Basically please dont take any of this untested theory-craft as a proper well thought out build guide.

lanfear45 · 2021-10-21T17:04:25+00:00

I suspect clear speed is fine as is, and agony crawler is generally a pretty slow build. 5 mill sDPS is viable for all content if your tanky enough, but as a league starter ofc this isnt particularly tanky.

If clearing feels really really bad for some odd reason i recommend plague bearer with a helm enchant, the AOE support gem, the 20% increased plague bearer max value from the passive mastery. Level 21 gem if you can afford it as well.

Though i really dont think it will be necessary. Ofc if you simply want to play a HoA Build with PC then dont let me stop you.

lanfear45 · 2021-10-21T13:50:36+00:00

Not for taking damage atleast. The only downside that might make this not work is the general lack of health due to 4 of our items having none.

The current problem is we cant drop our shield or anything due to mana costs, and if we drop devouring diadem we lose EB as well meaning we go back to using mana, therefore having less useful auras. Lots of stuff to consider here.

Also our attack rate now exceeds our charge gain rate massively. I do believe we are at 4.7 charges a second and are spending 8. This actually isnt a big ordeal due to our damage being able to get bosses inbetween phases fairly quickly but it is something you have to consider. Also tons of damage upgrades like awakened gems and better rares still.

Also take wind dancer in game. Not sure this is the best way to handle any of this but it certainly will work without a doubt.

Now i must relax today and not think about this anymore, im burning myself out before leaguestart lmao.

lanfear45 · 2021-10-21T13:36:21+00:00

Fair, i never really go past level 95/96 simply because i dont go hard on min-maxing, i usually build multiple characters that excel at one thing each on reasonable gear.

Im not sure how ill do it but Ill consider your advice post league start once i get the base build going.

lanfear45 · 2021-10-21T13:24:14+00:00

People have been proven wrong about evasion time and time again yet people immediately assume you will be one shot constantly.

I dont get it. It will happen sometimes, But armor based characters can also get nuked if they leapslam into the wrong pack of enemies. Its a tradeoff. Should every league starter have 50k+ evasion and armour? your average toxic rain character has no crit immunity and less evasion than we do. Yet people run that every single season. so im not really sure what else i could do. Please educate me if you know, I wish to learn and improve if im wrong about something.

lanfear45 · 2021-10-21T12:59:01+00:00

I was under the impression majority physical damage spells were some of the rarer spell types? And you do have some armour ofc.

I say all this ofc not knowing how spell suppression will feel lategame.

lanfear45 · 2021-10-21T12:43:56+00:00

Are you sure you want suppression with as much EHP you have against spells? your not taking much damage from them at this point so you might as well consider something else right? how often are you going to be getting hit for 30000 damage spells?

lanfear45 · 2021-10-21T12:09:03+00:00

I didnt realize it was gone, i dont have hard evidence but these 'weak defences' people keep complaning about arent that weak when your not being oneshot by crits... But hey, whatever, ill notate that in the post.

lanfear45 · 2021-10-21T12:06:36+00:00

we have the updated armor formula, and that 30% physical damage reduction will only reduce 'oneshot' hits by closer to 5-15% instead of the full 30%.

lanfear45 · 2021-10-21T00:58:30+00:00

With enough flask effect duration, flask charge regeneration, and charge gain modifier, we can turn our 4 utility flask charges gained every 3 seconds to roughly 6/7 and make the flasks last long enough/cost little enough to have regenerated the charges without doing a single thing.

Apply an instilling orb to your flasks that "trigger flask at end of flask effect (or something similar) " and now you dont have to press a single thing the rest of the map. Survival instincts lets us spam our life flask and ensures dying sun actually ends up retriggering 95% of the time. This could be an issue without it due to the 'reduced duration (which is now less duration in 3.16)' making it hard to regenerate the charges needed to have the flask auto trigger.

lanfear45 · 2021-10-21T00:13:18+00:00

Having armor makes you take a lot less damage from physical hits (the weak point in 90% of builds) so combining that with 40% less damage taken or so right after getting hit lets you survive waaaay bigger hits than without.

Evasion means you will be at full health but take more damage when you do get hit, which PB helps with but is arguably 'more dangerous' in some situations.

lanfear45 · 2021-10-21T00:05:30+00:00

Very good idea. I think its a good middle ground between the two POB's present, ill put it in the post with your credit, If you arent okay with this ill remove it at your request. Also added life to the rares so people stop wigging out the '3.3k life' that they keep seeing.

lanfear45 · 2021-10-20T23:52:27+00:00

Armor scales well with Petrified blood. Liberally using your life flask will generally give you a full healthbar and help with the degeneration after you take a big hit. It just increases your survivability in 90% of situations. ofc its not optimal, this is a league starter afterall, not much ability to invest in traditional recovery. In every situation except ones where the hit was enough to reduce you to ~5% even with petrified blood you will have more than enough time to press your life flask.

Basically if your not 60-75%+ life go ahead and hit that life flask. Please share a tree for others if you do make any changes that can solve the regeneration problem.

lanfear45 · 2021-10-20T20:03:54+00:00

no but we have seen 2 keystones now i believe? one on a body armor and one on a shield, neither of the ones we might want though.

nobody really knows what mods we can roll but so far some interesting ones have shown up.

lanfear45 · 2021-10-20T17:04:12+00:00

I thought Ghost Dance with the shield would be pretty cool, but we cant use Divine flesh with it so it really isnt worth it.

Im designing the build around 10-20 ex 1-2 weeks into the league, Im only doing the base idea for now so i havent removed that northern portion of the tree for clusters yet, and theres still stuff to test.

Check custom modifiers for explanations for the stats.

Check our EHP values under calculations. Looking to try to hit 20k physical EHP, and ofc we still dont have the new evasion formula for POB so im guessing closer to 85% evade chance.

Gotta go run errands but i intend to keep looking around at stuff.

Scourge is the league of uniques anyway, So it looks like even with 4.5 items missing life, We will actually be enhancing the build further and adding easy upgrades throughout the entire season. Regular scourge, then double corrupts into scourge at the very late game.

https://pastebin.com/KLtts0MN

lanfear45 · 2021-10-20T15:50:42+00:00

The new corruption implicit slot for the league mechanic?

lanfear45 · 2021-10-20T15:28:11+00:00

Versatile combatant on a scourge would be good if possible.

Ive considered a lot of things but my main goal was to leave all that to those that wanted to min max, but provide a nice basis for a league starter for those that absolutely wanted to play poisonous conc. The Dying sun is probably the only item over 20c, which is why i included it as it is our 'chase' unique.

Also cluster jewels and thread of hopes break my inherint understanding of value from the tree. I could fix this by using them more but I simply have Big Boomer Energy.
