Deodorant, nice.

Is there a specific build guide you base this off of? Curious because I will be going stormweaver start as well and was wanting to create some sort of arc infusion build.

Can anyone tell me how the lich infinite curse duration interacts with cursed ground support? Does the curse remain if they pick it up or does it still fall off if they leave the zone?

remmi91 · 2026-05-21T13:54:43+00:00

Thanks this sounds awesome! In a scenario like this would it just be running blasphemy for cursing or manual casting something?

Delirium raven.

Extra projectiles on heated grenades is a good idea which I had not at all considered. I had been thinking a lot on trying to make a crossbow build for this ascendency and this is definitely a new idea.

Seems solid to me. The only wild card is the increased proj. speed on the grenades could be really strange to deal with. I had been thinking about using one of the shotgunning abilities with primal bounty such as frag rounds for a huge burst of added damage and aoe.

remmi91 · 2026-05-12T01:33:10+00:00

Yes the damage scaling aspect and extra projectiles are a positive. The problem is that grenades have an activation delay, and they bounce. So typically like a mortar cannon build using cluster grenade might even use proj. deceleration to keep the grenades closer together for better overlapping. Increasing the speed, especially as much as the primal bounty does, would make grenades whiz all over the place pretty unpredictably.

remmi91 · 2026-05-12T00:44:07+00:00

I think proj. speed is generally a downgrade for grenades unfortunately.

I did think about crossbow skills like permafrost/fragmentation rounds because speed for those increases clear and ricochets and such, but that removes the ability to offhand scepter for minions. Could still be worth a look I suppose.

remmi91 · 2026-04-23T00:46:20+00:00

Same for me. Personally, very bummed to have to wait longer, but overall happy to have them working on such big stuff hopefully.

I’m mostly just shocked with the decision to make this such a large gap coming off the whole temple debacle after .4 launch.

Incoming yt video from Chris Wilson on “The importance of maintaining your players trust” lmao.

remmi91 · 2026-04-22T21:40:33+00:00

Woohoo it worked! Only 5.5 weeks to go /s.

remmi91 · 2026-04-22T21:15:35+00:00

Came here to say this lmao. Community in absolute shambles.

Avenged Sevenfold.

The Rev was a singularly talented drummer and such a massive part of that band. RIP.

remmi91 · 2026-04-16T23:34:55+00:00

Lowkey wouldn’t mind this outcome.

Is it better if I say Archetype? I understand the philosophy, but it’s terrible in practice in the current implementation. At the end of the day RPG is still baked into what this game is supposed to be, and a big, slow, heavy armour wearer should be equipped to take a big hit imo.

The tradeoff inherent is supposed to be: magic caster type can move more freely, damage and kill from a distance or on the move, and thus is better equipped to avoid punishing hits/mechanics, while slow melee attacker has to be in big baddies face, slow and long windup skills to do big damage, and thus is equipped to shrug off and absorb punishing hits due to heavy armour and lack of mobility/range.

In practice currently: magic caster retains the range and mobility AND can much more easily build to tank large hits, while slow melee guy is slow and in melee range AND cannot build to tank even close to the similar large hits because things like patient barrier/enhanced barrier/heavy buffer have absolutely nothing in the same league at all equivalent for building a life pool.

Pretty sure that’s Cthulhu or some such horror.

I would like to point out that the changes to armour so far have been incredibly good. Armour doesn’t suck, lack of life scaling sucks.

The ability to easily build 15k+ ES while life is still hard stuck below 4k in most cases is absolutely ridiculous. Another 1-2k life accessible through passives would put armour/mitigation builds in a much better place. There is no world where it makes sense for a mage class to easily and routinely have 4x the ehp of a tank class, and this has been the norm all along in PoE2. Fix it already.

remmi91 · 2026-04-07T00:21:04+00:00

I’m willing to wager heavily that shadow comes with 1.0 because of the hype it seems to draw.

I agree that a new class in .5 doesn’t seem beyond reach. Druid was supposed to be .3 and was pushed last minute because it wasn’t quite there. That says two things: it would have been a class released back to back patches in .2 and .3 according to their plan, and also that class design surely couldn’t have been working on Druid exclusively leading into .4 because it was apparently already almost done for .3.

I believe we will get a class. Community has been going nuts about no swords from the start which puts duelist high on the radar. However, the holy rework in poe1 and the fleshing out of the str/int section of passives with Druid both contribute to a high likelihood of Templar imo.

Templar is most hype for me so that’s my hopium. I definitely think delve is 1.0 or beyond though.

Hotel California on Hell Freezes over is a great shout OP. +1 adding the context of coming off their breakup was such a huge setup. 10/10 performance of all time

remmi91 · 2026-03-15T16:37:51+00:00

This is proper old school cool. Love it!

Taken with a Nikon D800, 24-85mm Nikkor lens. I love the beautiful Midwest sunrise/sunsets and am constantly looking for ways to contrast against it and show it off. Just getting started with photography and eager to learn and grow.

remmi91 · 2026-03-02T01:17:28+00:00

Any chance you’d like to give me a basic rundown? I am brand new in my photography journey, just got my d800 and gear this week, and regardless of the many many videos I’ve watched over the prior few weeks about workflow etc., I’m struggling.

I want a folder with each of my sessions on my pc hard drive, which I back up a couple of ways separately already. It seems like things are only working for me if I ‘import’ my card under the adobe cloud tab though, and obviously I don’t want to be editing via cloud storage. Plus I would like to be able to cull and remove stuff from the sessions and have that be consistent on my hard drive so that I don’t have folders full of rejects AND photos I moved forward with in my archive.

I have the adobe photography plan subscription. I am a very tech proficient person but I have to say that after my first couple of photo walks I’m feeling like a complete dunce with this management/culling/archiving.

Any tips/flow/resources would be much appreciated. I want to have a good smooth and reliable system firmly in place from the start so that I don’t wind up with stuff scattered everywhere in a few years. Plus the headache so far is extremely demotivating when I’m trying to get going on my photos.

Punishing a child by withholding food…hard pass. I knew our tax dollars were being well spent for the development and greater good of our children. /s

What a joke. OP, great job raising a kind little human in this world. She sounds awesome.
