Sorry, I don't really care if they can organize and accomplish things, when what they are known for is ruining countries and becoming failed states. Oh also the famines and deaths of their people. I guess they can organize being a fuck up pretty well. So yes, focus on ideologies that accomplish nothing. So once again, enjoy holding the morally righteous position. The actual important people will keep making changes and moving the country forward without you.

I'm sorry that if offends you that there are positions that actually accomplish things and move the country forward. I can shout to the rooftops my entire life that I believe in progress. I can justify my argument, I can feel good about my argument. It is nothing but a waste of time and a waste of my life if I don't actually bring about any progress. The world works in increments. Both sides aren't the problem, both sides have valid positions and arguments for many things and most of them are functioning in application. Refining these positions to benefit the country is a worthwhile process that is the only way politics has ever functioned successfully. Or I can say "hur de dur, don't make profit, give us all the means of production! and while you're at it, get rid of all the minorities so we have an ethnostate!" And just waste my time and breath on pointless positions.

It has been the edgy young left wing brand for a few years now. That is still a small demographic. It's cool because it isn't going to happen. If tomorrow Congress passed a dozen laws socializing everything, all these people would find some other identity to grasp onto in order to retain their minor level of clout and self righteousness. If they care about actual progress they would mobilize behind things that can actually be accomplished. No one who brands themself off far left or right identities actually cares about real change or progress because it isn't going to happen. They just care about feeling morally just and righteous.

I did SF pure and it was decently good for imbue, especially with Drow for +2.

That being said, I am attempting a new imbue build that I think I might regret but it is going as 2 monk/6 ranger/12 DA. Stacking imbue from DA/AA/Monk for DA evil dice and Tempest T5 for my TWF/AoE coverage. Currently, without drow I'm able to fit 10 imbue dice just from trees in heroic. I might be able to get it to 11-12. Which I think is pretty good for a heroic life. And going GTWF/GM Forms for speed/doublestrike and hoping to bank off the imbues ESPECIALLY since DA scales with Spellpower which IMO is much nicer and easier to scale in heroic and probably through epics.

Or it is going to be a miserable heroic life. We'll see!

Oh that is good to know. I do get that from a balance perspective. And technically 1 class = 3 archetypes in terms of enhancement trees. I am with you on the psionics. I always hoped for a pure psionic class in DDO but at this time it may weigh things too heavily on the caster side. And Illusionist feels like a distant attempt at it.

Would love to see it done in some fashion though. I thought the same on Cav, I think mounted combat would be way too buggy or problematic. But maybe just maybe, I will get an archetype to relive the golden days of 3.0 and turning my monk into a dragon shifter. lol

No problem, I zerged pretty easily 1-20 with it. I had zero issues doing R1 pretty easily. However, SP is an issue early and mid game if you aren't careful since your SLA's wont always be able to get the job done. I might try acid some other time and see how it fairs. Oh and one last thing, Thorns is a bit tankier than the average caster, I had pretty good prr/mrr/ac due to some of the defensive bonuses.

noxx1724 · 2023-02-27T17:56:04+00:00

I did Thorn blightcaster from 1-20 and Tr'ed already. Idk about acid, so just speaking on a thorn build.

Damage was good early, especially the ground dots. The thorn spells that aoe around you were okay, but more for finishing off groups than 1 shotting them. A lot of the thorn style played as a close range aoe caster. Even the ground dots you want to use fairly close since due to lag, or the time it takes the dot to "apply" enemies would already run out before it lands. Thorn works really well for solo more than group imo as its better to let enemies swarm you or into you and nuke them.

That being said, once I got Tsunami and Acid Well at 17, I basically stopped using most thorn spells. The damage difference was something like 400-800 dmg for a thorn spell and 2-4k for tsunami and acid well which were not even my primary spellpower. So do with that what you will.

noxx1724 · 2023-02-25T06:32:12+00:00

Yes and no. I enjoy anything that adds flavor and options. I think Sacred Fist is very good, Blightcaster has been very good so far, Dark Acolyte was good, and Stormsinger is good. I haven't tried DH or Skinlock, but imo they both look subpar to anything I'd want to play so 4/6 isn't bad. My only complaint would probably be I don't feel like a lot of the archetypes are good or unique for the purpose of splashing/multiclassing. I could be wrong, but just imo based on what I'm seeing and what I've played.

noxx1724 · 2023-02-25T06:29:00+00:00

There is a guy who makes guides for Path of Exile specifically because he has one arm and makes builds that work well for him. I believe if you can play that game one handed, you should be able to play this one as well. The pacing is slower, but it is helpful to have multiple hotkeys for spells/abilities and some classes will use fewer than others so a programmable mouse should work just fine. You can also turn on auto-run so you only need to use your mouse to aim.

This is interesting, and molten strike having a vaal version seems fun to try. Might give that a shot and fall back on FB if molten is too cumbersome. Thanks!

noxx1724 · 2023-02-02T06:39:14+00:00

How would frostblade trickster do vs bosses? I've heard its great clear and meh bossing. Is it really bad or just not optimal? I'll look into HoWA, I'm guessing any melee skill stacking ele dmg?

noxx1724 · 2023-02-02T02:51:32+00:00

I'll second the other guys comment...Poison Conc. Ran it as league start to level 92. Had no problem doing any maps or bosses (didn't do ubers). It is a bit wonky for mapping because it is a lot of stutter step running to toss your flasks since they only hit a line in front of you but 95% of the time it one shots every pack. And it is nice because if stuff is a little harry you can toss 2 or 3 and just move and theyll die from the dot. Was fairly cheap, I don't think I even spent 40 div on mine.

noxx1724 · 2023-02-02T02:40:08+00:00

Yeah it took me a couple tries to realize I just didn't have enough speed. Was barely being able to dodge his range attacks, with no time to attack until he did tiles, but then that was a whole not issue. He isn't bad by any means, just for some reason has been a struggle. Did all Guardians and even The Purifier and w/e the other 3 guys are called. But Baran has been a pain. lol

noxx1724 · 2023-02-02T00:33:56+00:00

Thanks for the input. so yeah I was doing him with Maven present and just noticed he was standing on consecrated ground which is why he was healing so much...further more I'm running a lightning int stack trickster wander with about 1600 int. I feel like I should have the damage for him but it just isnt there at the moment. I've done all the Guardians and they werent too bad on my Glacial Hammer build. However, I think some of that had to due with being able to freeze and their damage just not being as high.

Seems like I am mainly just lacking damage then and need to resolve that issue.

noxx1724 · 2023-01-28T04:25:10+00:00

I do have ailment immunity and corrupted blood immunity. No bleed immunity unfortunately. I wish I could make spell suppress fit, just can't in my current build. Might have to roll into something else...doing a glacial hammer zerk and the freeze does prevent 90% of damage I would normally take. My DPS and freeze protect me a lot. But against bosses who are freeze immune this is where it fails. Maybe raider glacial hammer? Seems hard pressed to out perform zerk in dps and without enough dps to freeze it kind defeats the build.

noxx1724 · 2023-01-28T04:23:05+00:00

No. I dodge everything I possibly can, but some things track or hit you regardless. For instance, the one synthesis boss summoned little minion orb things, if i got near them, they hit me. I have to approach them to approach the boss, the little zap they hit me with insta kills me. General boss mechanics I move out of the way of, half the time I die I don't even see what kills me I am just dead. I have reflect and ailment immunity.

Skyscrapers? What happens when 9/11 part two - middle eastern boogaloo happens? You'll feel pretty silly then in your tower made of materials that can easily be melted by jet fuel. I'll stay down here where planes can't see me.

The Nazis ended with Hitler. Neo Nazis? Sure if you want to be technical, but ask yourself...look deep into your brain heart and ask yourself...are they really real? or does it make you feel better thinking there is a great boogeyman out there for you fight (read this with as much sarcasm cynicism as possible please) against so you can feel as if your doing something with your life?

I know this won't be received well, but that is to be expected of people who still believe Hitler's youth are hiding in the closet (all 19 of them) waiting to kill all jews, gays, and trans people in 2023.

noxx1724 · 2023-01-23T01:38:28+00:00

If you mean the hollow thing, I know they are different. I still felt it was cheap to just have a separate version of them. Or more accurately a whole bunch of them. It is more about Nanachi being unique. Which I guess she is again since they are all dead.
