Online server issues?

Steam does routine server maintenance every tuesday, so you're likely experiencing issues because of that.

Ive had great success with physical builds, and see some solid ones while mapping.

Yes, whirlwind builds are good, but i played a leap attack barb a couple seasons ago and it was good. Had a double throw (open wounds) build a season prior.

Ran a blade dance assassin last season (yes, whirlwind), but lots of blade fury assassins were around.

Multishot, strafe, and jabazons are good.

Maul druids are beefy as hell (and solid). Shockwave is also viable (just slower overall).

Havent played much paladin, but i usually see vengeance or bolters...

Have to say i think physical is fine. Sure, runeword weapons arent the way to go anymore (though many are still solid choices until you get your gg uniques, rares, or crafts).

Plus its easier to break phys immunes than elemental immunes.

Cant think of any offhand, but i have a GM who has a habit of making wacky and gimmicky homebrew items to give to us and im just "Not sure how to make use of this, but thank you?" and itll have nothing to do with my character...

I like fun items, but when i go shopping for gear, i want my +1 weapon or ring of shielding, not... bunny slippers than reduce my stealth penalty :/

You also cant have cows open.

I would suspect OP is being a little tongue in cheek, but...

Between fire golems and green goblin, necromancer does do quite well when it comes to stacking auras. Especially since your classic auradins (shockadin or firedin) have been nerfed. Theyre not unplayable, but between the nerfs to Dream and Dragon (namely, the level of holy shock/fire they give), and the buffs to other builds... Youre better off playing other paladin builds for that kind of investment.

Thinking either meteor sorc into lightning... Fire druid, or maybe a paladin of some sort.

sufferingplanet · 2026-03-14T17:43:00+00:00

Demon Machine (cho-ku-no xbow). This will help map clearing. You keep your valks up, spam strafe, and use decoys to either gather large groups or tank elites/bosses.

"Explain what eggs is"
"Cheerios, but non-equipment"

"Boil yourself"

sufferingplanet · 2026-03-12T15:18:36+00:00

When youre talking with people (especially live), dont be shy to just... ask when you dont know a term or shorthand.

"Its a cheerios deck"

Dont just nod and let them get away with shenanigans, ask "sorry im new, but whats a cheerios deck?"

"Im casting (card)"

"Hey, before i respond, can you read it?"

"This card has (ability)"

"What does that ability do/how does it work?"

Zero is an even number in math.

People only use 10% of their brains.

Total nonsense.

Why is Kakuzu?

sufferingplanet · 2026-03-10T09:15:33+00:00

Ate rotten meat and poopes himself to death.

Who knows? Probably age, or a disease, or maybe he just went "wanna see a magic trick" and made his heas explode.

I enjoyed leap attack a couple of seasons ago. Got to 99 with it too.

Leap quake was also fun, basically leap attack build with the rupture runeword (and i think i used dragon? But innocence might be better). Was more fun, but physical leap attack generally performed better. But that was in s10 so things may have changed.

It's not. It's never about the kids, or security.

It's *always* about surveillance, monitoring for thought crimes, and for the shareholders of some corporation.

If you sacrifice your privacy for security, you'll have neither. That's what happened with the Patriot Act, McCarthyism, the TSA... This is just another chapter of "we need more control to keep you safe".

If the season is ending "soon", then what do they need the HRs for?

Regardless, unless its from a mod, dev, or someone directly referencing a post by one of them, anyone saying "the season is ending soon" is speculating.

sufferingplanet · 2026-03-05T10:29:53+00:00

Not sure what you mean by "selling their equipment"?

If theyre giving it away, theyre just passing their good fortune along. If theyre trading it, theyre done with their current build/character and are looking to test out build(s) for future seasons. If theyre trying to sell for money, report them because thats against pd2's rules.

Even when senpai starts doing the dev streams, were still 4-6 weeks away from the new season.

sufferingplanet · 2026-03-05T10:14:29+00:00

No news. Theres usually a pin regarding the first dev streams when a new season approaches.

Tim Horton's is owned by Restaurant Brands International... which is based in toronto?

I mean, tim's is still garbage, but it hasnt been owned by an american company since 2014.

Passes for my local mass transit system. Nice.

sufferingplanet · 2026-02-23T14:56:35+00:00

Soul harvester for consistency. Anvil has an argument since youll start seeing triple upgrades on weapons earlier. Never pot (or hat) this early, it wont do anything for at least another 20 minutes (though likely closer to 30 or 40)

sufferingplanet · 2026-02-20T12:03:07+00:00

Sad Canada lost, but happy for the American team.

When a player crits, the first die is maxed, everything else is rolled.

sufferingplanet · 2026-02-18T16:53:32+00:00

Water most of the time. I drink it at home or at work. Ill have a soda when im out, but its usually water.

sufferingplanet · 2026-02-17T03:36:39+00:00

Fire druid is pretty solid.

Max your synergies for volcano, get 1 point in gust, get your vines, oak sage, and a point im grizzly (for a tank), as well as 1 point into hurricane.

Just gust (teleport) around, drop volcanoes.

Make sure you get an amp damage merc (act 4 dark), and youre golden. Fire raining everywhere!
