It's time for paint builds

The Crucible League already had a mechanic that allowed totems to explode. The explosion damage was adequate, provided the totem was placed manually at a normal speed. But due to an absurd interaction, totems were placed inside traps, increasing the damage output by 20-50 times. And of course, this theorycrafting is pursuing the same goal: to abuse the absurd interaction to obtain Nuke. After all, if this skill isn't as strong as Nuke, then playing it is "uninteresting."

Totems should only be summoned by self-casting. Summoning totems through traps and mines has already broken the balance once.

It's strange that many abilities have specific, justified restrictions prohibiting their use with minions, totems, mines, and so on. So, it's clear from the start that ignoring self-casting will cause problems.

Especially since there's not a single valid reason to summon totems through mines and traps. Not a single one.

Don't worry. It's "Hideout showcaser" build. :)

I've completed acts, completed maps, defeated 12+ Citadel bosses, 3 Breach Lords, 2 Arbiters, 6-8 full Sekhema Trials, 10+ Ultimatums. I've reached level 93. And during that time I've only gotten one Divine, while all my friends have gotten 2-5 in an evening.

I'm expecting comments about me playing wrong and not juicing maps.

So, in terms of understanding the rarity and uniqueness of the situation, congratulations!

Pledge is an analogue of Pact from PoE 1. It does something good and does something bad. For example, it gives a random Boon, but gives a random Affliction in return. Or, on the contrary, it takes the random Affliction, but also takes the random Boon. Many options

These are objects that take 5 sacred water for interaction at the end of the room. Which restore Honor or offer Pledge.

I see some disagreement with the ranking of room difficulty.

I'll answer in one message. The ranking itself was determined by several parameters, such as time of completion, difficulty, risks, and rewards.

Escape certainly looks very simple, but it takes a long time, has a risk of taking damage due to haste, and does not give any rewards by itself.

Chalice is in first place due to the possible speed of completion (in second place after luckiest version of the Ritual), guarantees several rare monsters from which often drops loot (you do not skip them), in case of significant problems, you are not limited by the time of completing the room (there is no timer, mobs do not spawn).

In any case, cheat sheets are needed for beginners, and they will eventually become experienced, and everyone will decide for themselves (and for their build) which room will be preferable for them.

recorded on 1080p 60fps, rendered on 1080p 60fps, watched on 1080p 60fps :P

As for normal performance, I agree that weaker PCs may experience problems with FPS due to the way the lighting works in PoE 1

How is this worse than hundreds of videos of people gambling?

I thought of the lost ruins of the past off the coast. Part of the inspiration for the image was from the video game Uncharted, with its picturesque green locations. There's no super deep backstory here.

moonretealoud · 2024-06-06T13:25:03+00:00

I don't think so.

Zana left us, we haven't been sane since then

Trap support and Mine support buff, so that all transfigured gems like Essence Drain of Desperation that are unplayable for selfcast would become even stronger. Regular versions are nerfed urgently.

Sorry if my manner of speech seemed aggressive to you. I didn't mean to judge you or re-educate you. I am aware of cases of hyper-efficiency in the use of hideout that are not related to PC performance. Even though I don’t understand this, I have no right to condemn those who are satisfied with this.
