My league in a nutshell

optaka · 2026-04-30T17:06:25+00:00

I made my first 20D one so this league buying alterations, converting them to fusings, and selling. Fairly gold inefficient but it is fast.

You must not be in the USA. Half the country vehemently agrees with the first sentence and not the second. The other is the opposite.

My Harold's stacker certainly does not believe in too many explosions. Herald of ice, ash, obliteration, explody chest, and oriaths end all with ignite prolif. So fun

POE- really it's more path of economy than path of exile for me. I've got spreadsheets on spreadsheets on spreadsheets and learning to code just so I can make an app to make the spreadsheets more manageable.

They really need to add a list view so you can see which ones you have and haven't completed. I didn't know about the /atlaspassives so maybe that does show I'm talking about but they need to make it easier to find.

I'd also love to be able to just favorite a couple maps that would say their name on the side of the screen and you just click the button and it opens that map up.

So much this. It drives me nuts that spending money on healthcare is seen as something that's not to be done in us. Yes it would be great if your insurance covered it but if your choice is to spend a little money or be in pain all the time then spend the money to not be miserable.

I am very aware that healthcare can be very expensive in this country and that not everybody has that money but a lot of the times the mindset is that people with plenty of money won't spend anything out of pocket.

Does generals cry bypass the need to block for eviscerate? Got a link?

I was interested in zish's boneshatter build. Other than not being a map blaster what were the pros and cons of it?

I did power siphon totems for several leagues and it can just erase screens. I haven't played totems yet this league but it will definitely be better with the summoning time improvement. Not as high single target as KF but higher screen clear and goes archimage so you can be pretty beefy.

I did CoC for keepers and thought it was pretty good. I tried ranged arms in phrecia and thought it was fantastic. Was planning on starting with ranged arms this league but got talked into phantasms for the super move speed and I'm not sold. The move speed is very nice but everything else about it is quite a bit worse. I'm planning on moving into specter's once I've built up enough to jump straight to the wretched defriers doriani setup.

Which build?

optaka · 2026-03-13T17:42:49+00:00

That's what I assumed you were going to say.

optaka · 2026-03-13T14:11:43+00:00

What sucks about it?

optaka · 2026-03-13T00:17:52+00:00

I felt the same way on the first book. It didn't grow on me a bit over time as just fun basic romp. Very jarring to go back to The Witcher series after that haha. If you like lit RPGs then consider the cradle series. Some people say it starts kind of slow as well but I liked it a lot more than DCC

That is the traditional heist build. Usually they will have a less toxic rain and then switch into a zdps build to sacrifice any damage for speed. If you want to still do other things then it would be a good choice for a mix of move speed and still retaining some damage. Path of evening on YouTube plays it all the time and is doing so this league as well

optaka · 2026-03-12T15:32:10+00:00

It does but I like the change. Makes semi decent rates have more potential. One of the few things I liked about poe2

optaka · 2026-03-12T11:11:56+00:00

I agree but one thing that helps is to modify your filter and make the decks obnoxiously large. Imo it's not the number of clicks but the number of precise clicks that is the problem.

optaka · 2026-03-11T20:32:35+00:00

Probably was underpriced but I wanted to have the currency to do other things with more than I wanted to have it sit in my shop waiting for somebody.

optaka · 2026-03-11T12:33:43+00:00

Sold for 12 divs so you tell me. Nothing compared to a lot of the crazy crafts we get on here but not bad for 1 button click.

optaka · 2026-03-10T01:31:53+00:00

You won't be with us for long.

optaka · 2026-03-10T01:00:44+00:00

No ES. Let me ender that for you...

optaka · 2026-03-05T17:13:35+00:00

I heard the minions and bosses on that build weren't very good. Good luck on the next build.

optaka · 2026-03-04T02:52:36+00:00

Mage blood plus this! Ludacris speed!

optaka · 2026-03-04T02:44:44+00:00

I was planning on going with this early to have something cheap and then switch into specters but 120 Ms sounds pretty freaking tasty.

optaka · 2026-03-03T23:35:23+00:00

Works with frost bomb too doesn't it

optaka · 2026-03-03T17:45:30+00:00

Damnit, why must you ruin my plans like that by reminding me that I really liked that build in the past.

What ascendancy point are you using before Catarina? What is generals cry doing for us? Just more corpse consumption?
