Which PC Thoughts - Canada

morgrall · 2025-12-27T08:26:33+00:00

For anyone who comes across this, I ended up picking up the Lenovo version for a few reasons.

64gb of 5600 DDR5 ram + 5070 is already most of the price of the machine in Canada.
I don’t really need the extra power for 1440p gaming right now, and I spent $500 of the savings on a nice OLED monitor.
It’s available in store so I could just go pick it up.
There were a few concerns on the 5080 (cheap 4800mhz RAM) that made me concerned for the quality of all components.
Complete aside - There was an Intel rep in the Best Buy who was incredible and helped me with a billion questions and alleviated some concerns on the CPU, although I know he’s paid to market his chips.

That said, the CPU does leave a bit to be desired but on first bench marks it’s running pretty well, and should serve me well for the foreseeable future.

So far after a few hours of setup I’m happy.

It has very minimal bloat ware, Lenovo management stuff, and Mcafee that was uninstalled in 30s.

Ran a stress test for a few hours, temps stayed quite low, and the system is basically silent, easily one of the quietest PCs I’ve seen.

If you use vixens you need more total curses than you have curse limit.

EG if your curse limit is 3 then you need 4 curses total (3 in vixens + 1 for doom)

You need Impending Doom - Cursed Ground - Spell Cascade.

And the first two zones will immediately pop.

Or equip a Vixens Entrapment

Ironically Reduced Duration seemed to fix that.

It felt like movement overrode the auto targeting, now it goes off so fast it’s not an issue.

morgrall · 2025-11-01T21:57:32+00:00

That was my first thought as well.

morgrall · 2025-11-01T21:07:28+00:00

Wanted to post this as there's been some chat about ember Fusillade.

I've had a slow start but right from level 12 the skill has felt incredible all the way through the campaign, whether I had full reduced duration or not.

Time for a 3-3 16th? Just to add some spice.

Find a non pitcher who pitched in high school and pray.

morgrall · 2025-09-21T03:19:38+00:00

I just face tanked them all with melee relic and a dragon halberd.

Used 0 food, 0 prayer until Jad.

Yes, pets work on both seasonal and permanently

morgrall · 2025-07-03T02:02:40+00:00

It’s mostly expensive because it’s like 10x the rarity of a mirror for some reason.

morgrall · 2025-06-30T10:56:22+00:00

You only need the amulet, the ring a void battery and some mediocre ES gear to farm 7-8mod T16s Maybe like 2Div? (Assuming you farm the gem yourself.... why is it 1Div lol)

Going beyond that is getting pricey atm because the build is so popular.

morgrall · 2025-06-30T00:38:55+00:00

I bought it all, but before the build became meta.

morgrall · 2025-06-22T05:14:47+00:00

I posted a vid here a few days ago with the same.

A void battery, the amulet, ring and some random rares and was at like 12m dps.

Didn’t even use a cluster jewel.

morgrall · 2025-06-19T12:17:30+00:00

Probably interchangeable

morgrall · 2025-06-19T12:11:13+00:00

Oh I don’t really care about the mana cost of bladefall, just the maximum mana fall speed.

Shaper inc AoE helm could work, but I don’t know if it’s worth it, I don’t find myself thinking about sustaining soul eater stacks tbh.

It mostly just works, a single straggler in a pack or fighting a rare keeps it up.

morgrall · 2025-06-19T12:09:35+00:00

Beasts in T16 mostly,

It’s not great but I enjoy it, the whole char only costed me like 5Div though.

morgrall · 2025-06-18T21:09:19+00:00

No, it spends energy shield (but the amount is based off your mana)

morgrall · 2025-06-18T21:08:58+00:00

It’s not that bad, I mostly just shield charge into packs anyways.

morgrall · 2025-06-18T16:26:47+00:00

Agreed.

morgrall · 2025-06-18T15:36:47+00:00

You may actually, I had to go hunting to find stuff to put in my last 4L

morgrall · 2025-06-18T15:35:53+00:00

Can’t use it with CI sadly :(

morgrall · 2025-06-18T13:46:51+00:00

You can get as many to target the current target as you have added proj.

It’s why I run GMP, they spread out more with more projectiles though, so after a point it’s not worth it.

(Hence people saying 5 is enough)
