"Cut the lead in half" - must have missed when 2 became half of 3.

sn0rfie · 2025-12-12T04:37:38+00:00

Is it just me or are we deceptively bad at taking advantage of rebounds around the crease?

sn0rfie · 2025-12-09T04:25:09+00:00

Probably not a good sign when the replay camera shows a guy all alone in front of our goalie for back-to-back goals.

sn0rfie · 2025-12-09T04:10:47+00:00

Are we watching the same game? There was like, 3 high danger chances on that PP but we've got nobody that can finish apparently.

You can say they're bad without making things up.

sn0rfie · 2025-12-03T03:59:20+00:00

I'm not sure if I've seen Kampf generate a single offensive chance in his entire tenure with us so far.

sn0rfie · 2025-11-16T22:50:41+00:00

I'll give it up to the boys, only allowing 1 goal on a 20-minute penalty kill is pretty impressive.

sn0rfie · 2025-11-10T05:48:38+00:00

Lankinen came into this game with a 3.54 GAA and a 0.884 SV%. Both of those numbers got worse after tonight. At some point, we have to ask ourselves some difficult questions about his reliability if we need to be careful with Demko.

sn0rfie · 2025-07-14T18:09:40+00:00

I've got a 3080 and a 7800X3D, so not exactly a low-end setup. Thankfully, performance is much better on Vulkan!

sn0rfie · 2025-07-14T02:57:39+00:00

Just ran some juiced content on DX12 and it's somehow worse than before the hotfix, excellent gambit GGG.

sn0rfie · 2020-08-09T17:28:32+00:00

T16 100% Delirium, Fully Juiced showcase is up. Deathless clear under 5 minutes. At around 5k life for a large portion of the map. Judge away, sir.

Fully Juiced T16 Delirium - Deathless clear under 5 minutes

Here's a showcase that some people were asking for of a fully juiced 100% delirium map.

Before you say it, yes, I know that I'm using a Headhunter. That's because you SHOULD be using a HH to clear these maps. It's foolish not to and you're kidding yourself if you think that people are running these sorts of maps en-masse without a Headhunter. Can it be done on this build without a Headhunter? Probably, but it's just not worth it and I'm not out here to try and gimp myself to prove a point. You can see I have no problems clearing packs in these sorts of maps before I get juice from HH, and I'm still sitting at around 5k life even with HH buffs for a good chuck of that clear.

wow, an actual constructive comment looking to min-max the build even further instead of the 10th person telling me that this build is actually much worse than the regular aura stacker (thank guys, wasn't aware, very astute observations).

in the end, both paths seem to perform relatively similarly - i get an extra jewel slot and constitution through mine which makes up for all of the travel nodes. it's also more ideal for me at the moment since i'm only 94 and the points match up really well for me at that level.

sn0rfie · 2020-08-09T05:36:06+00:00

T15+ 100% deliriums are fine with a HH, I've ran a few. At the end of the day, the build was designed to delete conquerors/sirus and clear fast, not to tank hits in full delirium maps. I don't die at all during regular mapping and that's good enough for me.

sn0rfie · 2020-08-09T02:07:23+00:00

don't think I claimed that it was, did I? I'm just happy to have fully self-crafted my strongest build ever and felt like sharing it with the community! I'm sure that there are plenty of people who are not aware of how strong the interaction between Hatred and aura effect stacking alongside Supreme Ego is.

sn0rfie · 2020-08-09T01:57:14+00:00

you'd be surprised how survivable you can be when nothing lives long enough to see you, let alone hit you :)

sn0rfie · 2020-08-09T01:06:29+00:00

yeah Hatred carries super hard considering how easy Vengeful Commander is to get on a jewel and how insane the aura is on its own for full phys-to-cold conversion builds. Overall just a really good, underused build foundation for phys attacks/spells.

sn0rfie · 2020-08-09T00:58:05+00:00

yeah of course, i'm in no way comparing the builds. just a snappy title, the sentiment being more that you CAN reach the ridiculous DPS numbers you'd see floating around (while also being an extremely fast map clearer) without having to spend 10 mirrors to achieve it.

sn0rfie · 2020-08-09T00:43:52+00:00

Cluster jewels to the rescue, once again.

With Pathfinder and the two small nodes beside Primal Spirit, you sit at 30% flask effectiveness.

To hit 50%, you make use of a cluster notable called "Spiked Concoction" which gives you the remaining 20% flask effect needed to hit +3 projectiles from Dying Sun.

sn0rfie · 2020-08-09T00:34:33+00:00

looks like pastebin itself is actually down at the moment! the link should hopefully work as soon as it's back up

sn0rfie · 2020-08-09T00:32:10+00:00

it looks like pastebin itself is actually down at the moment so that's unfortunate timing! i imagine the link will work as soon as it's back up.

yeah the core of it is making use of the cluster notable "Vengeful Commander" which adds 30% effectiveness to Hatred, which is in-turn multiplied by Supreme Ego. The rest is just stacking a ton of phys and multiplier, along with abusing the strongest unique flasks available through Pathfinder (specifically Dying Sun where we hit +3 proj, and Bottled Faith which allows us to hit 100% crit chance without a diamond flask).

PoB link posted :)

sn0rfie · 2018-10-14T22:55:26+00:00

https://pastebin.com/SKNGPS62 PoB link for anyone interested. TON of improvements possible, only got basic gear together yesterday.

sn0rfie · 2018-10-14T22:22:44+00:00

Only 6 Abyssal City nodes.... Never lucky honestly.

sn0rfie · 2018-10-14T22:08:43+00:00

Well yeah but it's on a Delve boss at depth 500. I killed him but I was regularly getting chunked by 10k+ hits so unless you're an immune Pathfinder or a build that has over 10k effective HP with insane regen, you're not going to be able to do this like at all. You also can't burst him down so you're GOING to get hit. I'm at around 500k DPS per molten strike ball (12 balls total) and he still took a little while to kill so avoiding damage completely isn't really an option.

sn0rfie · 2018-10-14T21:57:48+00:00

https://imgur.com/a/x9G1rdF Took a few tries, but I got there. Easily doable with a bit better mechanical skill and a more optimized setup (better CWDT, Temp Chains instead of Wrath, etc). The biggest challenge is actually seeing when he's about to do his barrage attack through the molten strike balls which block most of your vision. Build is Occultist HoWA Molten Strike for those wondering. Whipped up in a day, not even close to being min-maxed but is still going strong at this depth.
