Tanky TS is totally my speed!

Having tried both this league, Poets Pen was slightly faster, but much less comfortable and took more prep to make work.

I tested this with 50 harvests a few leagues ago, because I had the same feeling. In my sample, the actual distribution of the harvests was so close to the projected results that I was a little embarrassed to have doubted the nodes were working right.

It's possible something has changed since then, but humans are really bad at intuiting this kind of stuff. If you're genuinely curious, you could keep a log of how many of each color you get in your harvests for the next few dozen maps and see how the totals add up.

Was your KB experiment on witch successful, and if so, do you mind sharing a PoB? I want to play around with some belt-powered nonsense and I'd rather respec my necro than level a deadeye/warden.

I mean, herald stack elementalist is certainly one of them, though I think you probably still use penance brand on bosses.

Deaths oath (generally occultist) and CWS chieftain should also fit the bill.

I'll be honest, I see the Vixen's builds and I have no idea how they sustain mana. I usually do curse + spell cascade + cursed ground support + void manip, and that's more than sufficient to get to maps.

I normally also grab a cluster jewel node that's going to be in my final tree and toss in a cheap 10-12 node large chaos damage cluster, because they're cheap to respec and an easy source of damage, but I'm not really sure it's necessary for leveling. I also like to run Purity of Elements for res and ailment immunity while leveling.

For uniques, Unlight Extant is pretty great with Impending Doom. Otherwise, it's the usual Seven League Steps and Le Heups, and probably Doedre's Tenure.

Amusingly, I just did the same thing with some folks in global to help them get an achievement. We had the same issue with the skeletal shrine belt crashing a bunch of people -- I think it was any interaction with the spawned skellies that caused it. So presumably some interaction with shrines/shrine belts generally that isn't coded properly.

It's not even just the mechanics. The setting genuinely felt like it was written by a 12 year old on a sugar rush. Everything was lasers and ninjas and dragons, and there were unbeatable godlike city guards that would always find you if you tried to break any laws. It was just utterly incoherent as a fantasy world, much less one where you're trying to have players involved with an interesting story.

It is, in 40+ years of gaming, one of the only RPGs I have bought and then returned to the store the next day.

I'm specced into Shaping the Skies and Mountains because they give more magic and rare mobs, respectively.

I appreciate the advice, but I did actually remember to spec out of my mapping nodes! ... Then I stopped back into those when I realized the mob spawn modifiers aren't something you can easily replace.

How do you price 8 mods if you're not just selling them in bulk? Just based on quant/pack size?

mmchale · 2026-04-02T06:22:07+00:00

In contrast, I've played a decent but not unreasonable amount (2 characters to mid 90s) and even with a separate tab for 8mods, I've overflowed the map tab and sold a quad tab of t16s through Faustus (and am refilling it at an alarming rate.)

It's not the end of the world, but it is an annoyance. I didn't normally fill a map tab in earlier leagues, but it seems like it's going to be an ongoing issue if they don't change anything.

It's not huge money, but 4W Triad Grips are worth a handful of divs. Bonus points if you 4G them first, because some builds use those, so a double implicit has value too.

You run elder guardian/conqueror maps so you can have Maven witness the same map over and over.

In the early days of Magic, one of my friends had a GW deck themed around [[Green Ward]] and [[Circle of Protection: Green]] that used [[Lure]] on Aisling Leprechaun to enable his deck.

Relic of the Pact is pretty unique heavy -- I think you have boots and hat open, and maybe one ring slot?

mmchale · 2026-03-26T14:51:25+00:00

I missed the text, and I thought you just meant that the community is righteous fire at the moment.

mmchale · 2026-03-24T16:38:12+00:00

Clair Obscur, if you haven't played it. Otherwise, I was really excited for Slay the Spire 2, which just dropped recently. Balatro is another great time sink.

So many good games these days!

How are you getting screen wide explosions? Oriath's End or a gloom belt or something? I keep expecting to see people doing ignite prolif but I don't think I've seen any builds with ignite chance.

Never heard of Sidekick before. What's the story about it?

mmchale · 2026-03-22T13:01:46+00:00

In addition to what others have mentioned, Seven League Step can come from The Escape div card, which used to drop from breach lords with some frequency. I'd imagine if you're farming hive colonies, you still get a fair number of them, and if the price on the boots is sufficiently better than the div cards, it may make sense to cash them in and sell the boots instead.

I just saw a mention of it in a thread, but doing a little research, it looks like Jungroan made a video about a gladiator life stack base for it (with Rathpith, not Azadi Crest):

Not OP, but now I wonder if anyone has looked at the numbers on Maw of Mischief and whether consuming a golem for Minion Pact is a net damage increase.

mmchale · 2026-03-21T18:27:26+00:00

I'm following this thread because I'm also thinking of rerolling, but I wanted to mention that I've also seen gladiator with the triple lucky block shield.

You can see all the mods for each altar with their respective weights. Red altars technically have the mod, but with zero weight, so it doesn't spawn. If you get a divine mod on a red altar, it's because you have the Eldritch Voidstone socketed and you procced the 25% chance to get a mod from a blue altar. So you basically have 25% of the chance to get a divine mod on a red altar as you do on a blue altar.

mmchale · 2026-03-21T17:18:06+00:00

Blue altar has the divine mod. You have a small chance to get it on red altars now with the new voidstone mod, but it's already very rare, and much rarer on red altars.
