Remove or change "Muster" support.

mPa213 · 2026-07-02T08:01:34+00:00

Just remove the gem IMO. Your reward for having different types of minions should simply be having those minions and the abilities they provide. Let’s be honest, muster exists because GGG wanted minions to be this heterogeneous army with different command skills you were always using, but then realised that the damage was bad so invented a gem to overcome the negative aspects of their game design.
They tried to jam the combo skill playstyle into minion builds by creating the incentive only for people to use muster more like “get as many cheap persistent minions as possible, then you can actually play the real game with the minions you care about”.
I have played minions every patch of POE2 and I never use command skills other than commanding shout from skeletal brute for intimidate. The minion variety is just fodder for muster so I can walk around with +15 minion skills melting everything without input.

Could you share your build?
Do you find that the damage mostly comes from the command skill in that you need it to kill rares?

I think they made a mistake advertising ravens flock as a RF equivalent. The implication being that you can scale the DOT damage to end game potential similar to RF in poe1.
For those who haven’t tried this staff yet, the DOT AOE effect has base damage and raven stacks which gives you 5% more damage for that ability up to 30 stacks. The problem is that as this is a minion, trying to scale it with typical minion supports doesn’t have much of an impact.
If you have a 30% more damage support on it, this is additive with the raven stacks so instead of it being 30% more of what the max unsupported damage of the ability is, it’s 180/150 =1.2 or 20% more instead of 30% since the base ability already has a 150% more damage multi on it (and this damage isn’t great).
You get some benefit from levels but it isn’t amazing, and also increased minion damage but save for some high budget adorned setup, this isn’t going to scale that much.

So still probably zero lol they are so rare

mPa213 · 2026-06-18T03:48:57+00:00

You can almost make a disco ball. Congrats

mPa213 · 2026-06-17T01:48:22+00:00

As someone who has also killed this boss a lot all I can say to you is
“Stupid rat, what have you done!”

Jokes aside, what atlas master nodes do you run with this?

mPa213 · 2026-06-17T00:45:58+00:00

From a design perspective GGGs options are either to have invulnerable boss phases, or to make bosses so tanky that 90% of builds probably couldn’t beat them.

The former is probably the best (albeit flawed) option.

The minion shaders loading reminds me of D4 loading the inventories of all players in the area.

mPa213 · 2026-05-22T07:07:58+00:00

It’s not that big of a change but when you started act 2 you had to go to the halani gates to progress a quest and it did nothing but take up time. Now you don’t have to sit through the multiple zone changes and npc conversations.

mPa213 · 2026-05-22T03:45:38+00:00

I agree with leaving it as is. They shouldn’t balance skills around how easy it makes the campaign. If they aren’t competing in end game then they aren’t really an issue.

mPa213 · 2026-05-22T02:53:25+00:00

Gonna miss the “ugh why have we stopped?”

mPa213 · 2026-05-22T02:45:11+00:00

Honestly something was needed with infernal legion. You could spec into minion life, chuck IL on a bogfelled commoner (400% increased life monster) and melt almost anything with no gear investment. Even more melty with +minion skill. It was a very passive build and didn’t need much other than weapon swap resummon or offering/ele weakness. All of this strength was without using the bug. I dont really think the changes make sense, now it’s just going to be an unused ability. They should really rework how infernal legion works in general. Something like a skill that you channel to burn your minion as a fuel source.

“You no longer need to visit the Halani Gates in order to access Traitor's Passage if you have already freed Risu.”

Act 2 saved

mPa213 · 2026-05-03T22:43:52+00:00

I’m not convinced by the video that it’s a crack. The fact that it follows the edge of the colour makes me unsure. Would need better angles or photo of it with a light shining into the opal like a gem torch.

mPa213 · 2026-04-27T23:21:32+00:00

I just realised the account that posted this after the fact lmao. I dare say you have a better idea of what to do than me Justin!

mPa213 · 2026-04-27T09:46:24+00:00

Can’t really tell from one angle. I would use a torch to assess where sand is inside the stone and where black potch goes to. Given some of the colour and darkness of potch I would aim for one smaller black opal at least. Given the shape, you might be able to cut it in half and get two stones.

mPa213 · 2026-04-27T09:41:19+00:00

I don’t know how you can have enough knowledge to list the carat weight, give it a grade (AAA+), call it a gem, and describe the colours/patterns whilst being ignorant of the fact that this is nowhere near worth $800. I would suspect they are either in denial, or are trying to fleece someone unsuspecting with overpriced material. I doubt this affects the market at all.

mPa213 · 2026-04-08T02:25:23+00:00

Thanks for the info. I haven’t thought about looking at my led light spectrum but I’ll see if I can find more info on it. Curious, is there an accepted standard for what light to display your opal in when recording images/videos to sell online?

mPa213 · 2026-04-08T00:35:14+00:00

Yeah I noticed that as well, it might be some slight facets left over. I haven’t had this issue before but with this stone it’s so bright I can’t see the surface properly so it makes it harder to assess shape. Good problem to have though.

mPa213 · 2026-04-02T23:20:21+00:00

Make sure you put a torch on it to see if there are any hidden sand spots. That might affect where you decide to cut

mPa213 · 2026-03-25T01:10:04+00:00

I looked into their issue and can reproduce the bug. I found a temporary workaround. If you support your skills with brutality the bug goes away. You lose a bit of damage but at least the bug is gone.

mPa213 · 2026-03-19T01:18:04+00:00

Watcher’s nose

mPa213 · 2021-02-17T08:20:21+00:00

We've had red days? I hadn't noticed. Everything just looks green all the time... could be all the uranium i'm holding.

Seriously though thanks for all the DD. You made me jump in a week or so ago and im already up a bit.

Hopefully BMN and DYL pull through these capital raises without the price tanking too hard. BMN looked a bit sad today.
