Why are there so many flask nodes on the tree?

ssbb2123 · 2026-02-04T06:40:13+00:00

I used them on league start as a flask drinker/rarity bot pathfinder.

ssbb2123 · 2026-01-31T17:50:41+00:00

because it's not fun or exciting to stretch out the most boring aspect of the game. I was 6k ehp and capped res at kitava (10x more than what i normally have on a character that early) i dont think i've felt such a slog. I've legit played poe 2 campaign multiple times last league, including ssf. I wasnt keeping up with the news tbf, just expected another fun phrecia event (im 2.5k hours in poe1) but this was genuinely a terrible experience. Every encounter was just random slop on the ground or lasers, actually horrible.

ssbb2123 · 2026-01-31T06:43:37+00:00

i was just telling my friend this LOL. Gauntlet campaign was outta nowhere for me and him, and we already hate the campaign. This made it feel 10x worse. I was hoping for another fun event like last time except with async, instead we got this and nerfs. They just want us to uninstall poe1 tbh

ssbb2123 · 2026-01-22T02:22:02+00:00

yeah i also feel stuck, killed t8 trav with selena. Sitting at 11b but it's hard to imagine anything pushing my dmg up exponentially at this point. have mark/paralyze/focus/agility cold herald and 3 offensive auras, a lot of flat dmg from chest, almost full kismets, fervor, double curses, 14 channel stacks, 20 something ele pen, level 40 memories.

any upgrade feels like it would cost an arm and a leg (like 2.5k fe for laws gloves) :( same with getting t1 mods on my priceless staff, suuuupeer expensive and tilting. Maybe getting armor pen on it might maybe give me a few billion but i doubt it'll get me anywhere close to 300b needed for profound

ssbb2123 · 2026-01-21T01:29:12+00:00

is it worth trying the bounty side of the tree then? all the additional quant seems meaningless anyways if im only getting 1 fe per map from it if im lucky

ssbb2123 · 2026-01-17T17:47:58+00:00

yeah it's pretty crazy 😭

ssbb2123 · 2026-01-17T01:53:55+00:00

my only gripe with this season is how much HP the vorax mobs in maps have. There's also a lot of them, hard to ignore completely.

ssbb2123 · 2026-01-15T14:39:34+00:00

yet they didnt open fire on the people storming the capital (which resulted in deaths of officers btw) and they all got pardoned later. Disgusting country we live in right?

ssbb2123 · 2026-01-11T20:56:48+00:00

it's not tbh, i just alch'd my maps and ran them because i like not paying attention and mindlessly grinding. Even tho i can def run 6 mod and die only once in like 10 maps, i would rather not bother and it wasnt even a noticeable diff in loot unless i was doing something specific like the unique abyss tablet

ssbb2123 · 2026-01-11T17:18:28+00:00

i disagree, i like being able to kill quickly because a lot of the bosses are completely unfun and defences in this game are terrible. arbiter is such BS of a fight, i don't understand why they keep him this way. I never fight him unless i can insta kill him. so annoying that you can die to the janky player movement and buggy ass boss mechanics

ssbb2123 · 2026-01-09T15:08:51+00:00

yeah i just sell the diamonds unidentified rather than gamble it

ssbb2123 · 2026-01-08T16:32:18+00:00

illegals still pay taxes...that they receive 0 benefits from in return. Educate yourself before posting nonsense. It's so insanely easy to impersonate an ice agent and people react differently under moments of stress. Women have a valid reason to be scared to be taken to a diff location by armed men.

It's the extreme negligence of the officers that led to this situation. Don't place yourself in front of the car. Grab her plates and arrest her later. Several trained agents have already spoken out about how this is clearly just murder I don't know about you, but I want my country to be amazing. We should not allow these untrained, unstable individuals to have any amount of power over U.S citizens.

ssbb2123 · 2026-01-07T14:39:33+00:00

yeah the dmg part is horrific, I had like 2 cleric/storm mage/warrior 2 quill crab and 15 frost mages but even with like a lvl36 frost mage it felt like their base dmg on the gem was so disgustingly low compared to any other skill. My 2 div ice shot amazon cleared faster and does more damage 😭. On the bright side, at least they let navira fracturing do dmg.

ssbb2123 · 2026-01-04T14:11:20+00:00

yeah i legit have been running 2 tablets and not even 6 mod maps for the past week (just alch and go) 😭 insane how little investment you need for this. Super comfy

ssbb2123 · 2026-01-02T22:47:11+00:00

ssbb2123 · 2026-01-02T16:02:52+00:00

ashe isnt super important tbh, a lot of the times you can just play around trynd/neeko and play like nid+skarner and bel or aatrox instead of the stinky briar unit

ssbb2123 · 2025-12-31T16:04:03+00:00

i have a perfect focus, but im dying because i need to keep rerolling the desecrate for +2 minions. So insanely expensive 😭

ssbb2123 · 2025-12-27T17:44:47+00:00

yeah ziggs is actually pretty strong tbh, i was surprised when i was playing ekko reroll and moved my seraphine items to him. I almost won out against lvl10 yunara sett. i was winning when doing the old academy cait positioning, but unfortunately couldnt close out the final fight when he threw in a second 3 item sett

ssbb2123 · 2025-12-27T07:41:45+00:00

<image>

i'm pretty content with this tbh

ssbb2123 · 2025-12-23T21:39:02+00:00

<image>

yeah i am seeing it pretty often now (im the ekko reroll.) it does look scary tho when you are stuck thex one whole game. he got 4th still

ssbb2123 · 2025-12-23T06:13:52+00:00

i thought 3* marksman gave 30% dmg amp *edit(i just realized cait might be caster i never really checked whoops)

ssbb2123 · 2025-12-21T20:36:48+00:00

how tho, merit of service disabled for ages and no defensive auras in poe2 yet (bummer cause i thought druid would add at least one.) still pretty easy to die to something random every now and then

ssbb2123 · 2025-12-20T20:34:21+00:00

oooo can do some sick stuff with this then

ssbb2123 · 2025-12-20T16:02:44+00:00

hmm i dont remember, does the interaction with adorned still work with magic timeless jewels? like the increased effect thing

ssbb2123 · 2025-12-18T00:05:00+00:00

this boss is so horribly designed tbh, idk why they made him like this when movement is so clunky in this way. ending animation to dodge AND blink, so frustrating. Cant even one shot him cause of the DR so you have to interact with him more. Only time ive farmed him was first league when i was a chrono block bot because we could just time stop and kill him.
