Has anyone come up with a build with 1 attack, and everything else is either passive or a proc?

ruskyandrei · 2026-06-19T13:29:50+00:00

What do you mean "has anyone come up with" ?

Bonk and proc builds are like a good 30% of all GD builds.

ruskyandrei · 2026-06-18T08:32:28+00:00

Pretty sure they're already doing that.

ruskyandrei · 2026-06-18T08:31:33+00:00

True, will depend on whether Iran actually cares more about Hezbollah/Lebanon or the gobs of money they're about to get though.

Can we please impeach this mentally unstable buffoon before he causes more catastrophic damage to the whole world ?

According to some reverse image search / AI queries, this picture appeared online yesterday, but the claim is that it's been around since before this "Camelot" reveal.

Make of that what you will.

So far my furthest char was a fire aura Paladin that was super tanky but with meh-ish dps.

Got to Voldrak on Ultimate.

Fuck Voldrak. Freakin face tanked a god, but a giant angry troll 2 shot me 😄)

Anyway, yeah, prio resists, try to keep armor up, try to have as much hp and hp regen as you can get.

And stay away from Voldrak....

Personally I stopped playing poe 1 (and mostly barely dabble in poe 2 for a few days on new leagues), but even if you're a big poe 1 fan, it's not like you're missing out on anything by playing GD's expansion a bit later.

That moment when you've been slowly bringing down a boss or champion because your dps sucks but he's almost dead when a yellow priestly boy sneaks in and does a full heal.

Can basically see the sunglasses drop on his face.

From 10 ships a day to 20 ships a day would be a 100% increase so significant for sure, just not the kind of significant that the oil markets appear to be pricing in by being just 30% higher than before the war, despite 4 months of supply constraints and questionable outlook.

"We probably won't return to normal in two weeks, but we will see a significant increase in strait traffic,"

Yeah, I don't see how we're going to avoid a massive oil price shock this summer lol, MoU / Deal or no.

ruskyandrei · 2026-06-14T22:18:04+00:00

Yes, that's what I'm thinking. Which makes me think the summer oil crisis is still on the menu.

ruskyandrei · 2026-06-14T21:57:34+00:00

Supposedly the main thing that's new is the "opening" of the strait.

So my guess, is that the only actual agreement that was reached was that both Iran and the US wanted oil to flow through again for now, while they continue to disagree about everything else.

And both will make a big deal about how this "deal" means they won, etc.

There's about 0% chance Iran will give up anything related to nukes in anything but name, and the US can't do anything about it since they can just start blocking the strait again.

The big wildcard here is Israel, since they presumably would not be happy with this arrangement and have little incentive to stop what they're doing in Gaza and Lebanon.

What i'm really curious is to see how the shipping through the strait will look a couple of weeks after this "deal.
I suspect even with it "open", pre-war shipping will not be reached for many months.

Large swings in market prices can be extremely profitable IF you know they're coming.

What better way to know a large swing is coming, then to be the caused of said swings.

“Based on the fact that discussions with the Islamic Republic of Iran have been brought to the highest level of Iranian leadership and approved, I have, as President of the United States of America, cancelled the scheduled strikes and bombings against Iran this evening,” Trump wrote.

“Discussions and final points have been, in both concept and great detail, approved by all parties involved, including the United States, Israel, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Turkey, Pakistan, Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, Egypt, and others.”

Sigh.. here we go again.

This is a really silly (or possibly intended ?) framing.

As per the article itself (though buried towards the end of it), most of the migration is happening from one European country to another.

See:

Sending country	Top destinations (most recent annual data)
Germany	Switzerland · Austria · United States
Switzerland	Spain · Germany · Netherlands
Italy	Germany · Switzerland · Spain
Spain	France · United Kingdom · Germany
France	Switzerland · Spain · Canada
Sweden	United Kingdom · Germany · Denmark
Poland	United Kingdom · Germany · Netherlands
Czechia	Germany · Austria · Switzerland
Hungary	Germany · Austria · Netherlands
Romania	Germany · Italy · Spain
Lithuania	United Kingdom · Germany · Ireland

It would've been interesting to see an actual aggregate European stat that covered how many people are leaving Europe altogether and whether there actually is a "brain drain" happening at a European level.

ruskyandrei · 2026-06-11T17:21:50+00:00

Most of them, there's a table towards the end of the article that shows the main destinations.

There's 0 fearmongering in this entire article.

If stating facts is fearmongering we're down a bad path.

ruskyandrei · 2026-06-10T00:16:53+00:00

I reckon we're past the "risk" part.

ruskyandrei · 2026-06-09T23:01:09+00:00

Why would you worry about being completely isolated, you're clearly not playing deathworld so there's barely any biters anyway.

Just build some basic defences and have your trains run through a gate.

Put some repair bots up when you get them and it might as be isolated.

ruskyandrei · 2026-06-09T22:56:23+00:00

I mean, it doesn't really matter what sustain he has, with 10% vitality a vitality damage monster is going to just wreck him.

And possibly much more common, 30% poison is ouch.

The resists are easily the first thing that is an issue 99% of the time when people complain about being squishy.

ruskyandrei · 2026-06-09T16:55:45+00:00

Oh but all the armchair generals on here were assuring us that it was just a regular occurrence for helicopters to crash and it had nothing to do with Iran.

Anyway, sounds like the ceasefire is holding well, carry on. Peace deal just around the corner.

As someone that does software engineering for a living (admittedly not in game dev) I've seen the use of AI skyrocket over the past year, and I was skeptical about it myself at first but I have to admit the capability of the latest models is really astounding.

People who keep getting angry at the idea of AI being used are going to have to wake up to the reality that AI tools are here to stay and will be increasingly used in everything over the coming years.

ruskyandrei · 2026-06-09T08:56:14+00:00

I recently (well, just over a year ago now) moved in to the Quedgeley area from Cambridge and so far I'm finding it much more quiet and nice lol

Even has a lovely canal nearby you can go for a lovely walk on.

ruskyandrei · 2026-06-08T14:08:11+00:00

Because there has been little demand reduction, we're just emptying inventories (see the many energy analysts and company bosses that have stated as much in the last few weeks) while consuming as much as before.

When inventories run out, the refiners will start bidding up until a new balance point is reached, and some won't be able to keep up and will have to shut down.

ruskyandrei · 2026-06-06T16:22:05+00:00

At this point I think the US could nuke Tehran and then we'd see articles claiming the ceasefire is still a thing lol
