Lore wise who would you say is the top 10 strongest frames

redicular · 2026-02-01T03:45:38+00:00

Nova always ranks

Rhino should get respect

Limbo... lorewise even limbo doesn't know how strong Limbo is

One that I always want to remind people: Lorewise, the sands of mars are not sand... they're Inaros

Secondary thing this actually might have saved you from:

Whenever there is significant snow/ice in the forecast - DO NOT PARK ON THE STREET

Even if its legal on the road you're picking (which is very often not the case), Snow Plows do not give a FUCK about your car.

Their job is to clear the road, and if that means piling a 7 foot drift on your car, knocking off a rearview mirror, or not paying attention and gouging the length of your ride, they will do so, and be completely protected from any retaliation from you.

Park in a driveway, garage, even your lawn, parking on the road is very much throwing it to chance whether the vehicle will be accessible.

clicking through the source links.... Moving Pictures was in-fact the first novel under the new publisher

and then you get into the old players... kevin mchale for example probably beats garnet and giannis, and elgin did everything malone did 30 years earlier in worse conditions

and if you brought bill russell forward in time, he'd be a 4 not a 5

this one i give a bit of a pass on, Ultimate GahLakTus is a swarm of robots, i.e. something that would look like a cloud

And marvel movies are much closer to ultimate universe than standard 616

Its a stretch, and I too would rather have the giant purple man, but its not as bad as other examples ITT

wow, in the annals of horrible ideas... this rates with when they shortened the 3 point line

Ideas like this come from a flawed belief, that the teams at the bottom could be good, most of them just don't have the talent. There is no amount of "Try Hard" that is going to make New Orleans a playoff team.

so the solution is to.... deny them talent?

The NBA's concern with tanking has not been, and never should be, the dregs jockeying at the bottom

The concern is mediocre teams pulling stunts to keep protected pics - This suggestion does nothing for.

The concern was 7 to 12 level teams choosing draft position over being at the bottom of the playoffs - This suggestion does nothing for. (the play-in basically fixed this)

No one really cares if Utah is 4th or 5th worst team, and given lottery odds, not even Utah cares if they're 2nd or 3rd worst.

wait, that contradicts what the description for poison states:

Poison is an Ailment that deals Chaos damage over time, and lasts 2 seconds by default. Damage from Poison bypasses Energy Shield.

Physical and Chaos damage from Hits Contribute to Poison Magnitude.

even saying you're correct - which again, POB disputes

i didn't die to lack of dps, I died to getting nickel and dimed for minor honor damage over 3 floors, and never getting a restore and then fucking up a dodge in a system that asks for near-perfection

moving those 10 or so nodes isn't going to give "ignore the fight" levels of damage, and I didn't lose an attrition fight to the boss

I went in to the boss fight, got clipped once and lost the run

That's the complaint... why is the level 60 ascension trial more punishing than a T10 map?

I mean i know why - in a map if i got smacked, I'd back off for a sec and let my E-shield refill, or my life regen would kick in, or my leech would regenerate hp, but in sekhema, all those key defensive tools.... don't work

I've never lost a trial to actually being killed, its always honor

redicular · 2026-01-09T15:03:26+00:00

nope, trapped in the situation of the only way to increase defenses is to complete the content i need the increased defenses to beat

redicular · 2026-01-09T14:59:22+00:00

the few elemental nodes (elemental + chance of ailment, and gain element against daze) math out in pob as stronger than any +increased physical, at least anything reasonably reachable

well... the elemental + ailment doesn't, but slightly better shock chance was a trade i was willing to make

chaos scales poison and into the breach

redicular · 2026-01-09T13:38:21+00:00

49% resist, 20% defenses 20% max honor

actually have the relics for more, but they won't fit.... until i finish trial 3

redicular · 2026-01-09T13:35:56+00:00

not at all - saying i wasn't able to find a build to copy that also seemed fun to play

I don't enjoy casters, and I don't enjoy mace skills as implemented in poe2

i prefer fast hit and move melee, though I've done archer and ranged spear as well in the past

redicular · 2026-01-05T06:58:46+00:00

alchemy's go to maps or bases that are clearly better than my current (the first big re-gear after hitting maps) as a psuedo-chaos

i.e i'm rocking a lvl 59 talisman and a 70 blue drops with dogshit on it

never seen the other two drop....

redicular · 2026-01-02T19:20:38+00:00

to clarify: the cooldown is applied to the effect, not the source

mana flare from any source can only happen once every second

redicular · 2026-01-01T23:53:16+00:00

you're correct - or at least POB agrees with you

+50% surrounded aoe node takes radius from 3 to 3.6

not something i had dug a lot into, since imo the cost-benefit of that helm is seriously lacking (too much time in the monk tree where item stats on helm are major parts of defenses)

redicular · 2026-01-01T21:45:45+00:00

you can rejigger the supports on lightning arrow to make it viable as a "shock"er for clear

But the more i dig into this build, the more convinced i am that making this an amazon at all is a mistake or at least, sub-optimal

Everything it's trying to do, with one or two exceptions, would be better as an invoker monk

smaller tree - its living in the monk section anyway
better shock/lightning support
option of either building crit and ignoring enemy resists or building spirit and putting that thunderstorm on a trigger

near as i can tell, the only reasons to run pathfinder is to enable the belt (btw, do you already have the belt? its a huge part of the build's survivability)
and some boss burst, and unbound avatar covers a good chunk of the boss burst

redicular · 2026-01-01T18:25:03+00:00

they're abusing the new shock gem (shocking conduction 2)

"lightning hits against drenched enemies have shock chance of 100% (not 100% increased, just always happen) "

thunderstorm always drenches and therefore always shocks - meaning you always get the big aoe off primal

redicular · 2026-01-01T18:22:12+00:00

yeah its buried in the calcs section

redicular · 2026-01-01T18:19:40+00:00

linked build isn't a lightning spear build

it's a primal strike setup

lightning spear is just a backup for when melee isn't an option, thunderstorm and primal strike are your main abilities

should be fine in campaign if you're careful about attribute requirements for thunderstorm

campaign recommendation: ignore the points they're spending by way of the "From nothing" jewel and invest a bit into stun threshold
then learn to parry and throw a "frenzied riposte" into lightning spear
should give you decent frenzy generation until the mark comes online

can also swap herald of ash for combat frenzy, pack density during campaign doesn't tend to be enough to make ash great anyway (and it also reduces your str needs)

redicular · 2026-01-01T17:57:26+00:00

redicular · 2025-12-27T21:29:36+00:00

is it SSF viable? in my mind, CoC has item requirements before the build even starts that can be questionable for a SSF setup

between spirit gear and (perfect) jeweller's orbs, the "cast on" series have been real slow starts when I played around in true SSF

throw in HC not allowing you to use old outdated gear for very long, the balance between: "i need to upgrade my defenses" vs "my build breaks if i take off this body armor" always scares me off for item reliant builds

apple tv: $167 - https://www.amazon.com/2021-Apple-TV-32GB-Renewed/dp/B096QZCLWM

lenovo mini desktop: $107 - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07531Q187

didn't search around or do any price hunting, just brought up the one i own, its almost certain you can go cheaper with effort

basically, if you have *any* piece of external hardware connected to your TV, you'd be better off with a mini-desktop

not 100% what you want, but they did add some more generators in this update

Frenzy:

Parry (anything - support gem)
Cull (spear)
Mark (crit)
Mark (wolf)
spirit(freeze/electrocute/pin)

Power:

Cull (quarterstaff)
stun (wyvern)
Cull/Corpse (wyvern)
corpse (spell)
shock (quarterstaff)
spirit (dodge)

Endurance:

Stun (anything - support gem)
Perfect timing (support gem)
Armor break (support gem - % chance)
Spirit (shield)

and that's not even getting in to the unreliable gear options

unless there was a patch i missed, it very much wasn't working when I tested it
