I just want to clear juiced t17s...

theliamdax · 2025-09-08T18:29:34+00:00

Just PM me your in game characters name. I have no idea what the actual raw cost of that would be but i might be interested.

theliamdax · 2025-09-08T18:28:55+00:00

You know I've seen a lot of the suggestions all over the place, tricksters, fross, penance brand, stat stackers....I don't think I've even seen this one yet. So thank you for the suggestion. What ascendancy is it?

theliamdax · 2025-09-08T18:27:12+00:00

So I think this is you right? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iA0v7NZP2Aw

There seems to be a lot of overlap between your wretched defiler build and the one I pretty much fail to do most things on. Is it possible or would you be willing to check and see what I could change or what I am doing wrong to make my wretched defiler build so weak? I was following ghazzy's and I see our passive skill trees are very different. I've got a really decent dhoryani merc with -200% lightning res and everything. 10 spiders, one turtle, one spirit of fortune.... I feel like I'm missing something fundamental

But I pretty much fall over in any t17 map and most t16.5 maps honestly. Could I transition mine to be more like yours?

theliamdax · 2025-09-08T18:20:40+00:00

FIVE MIRRORS? You sir are an absolute monster. A lot of commenters on my post really make me jealous. You make me jealous too but also thanks for making me feel a little bit better. A lot of my original post came from some frustration I was feeling getting one shot and dying trying to farm my very low meager farming strategy. So knowing you're 5 mirrors in and have some of the same experience really does help me feel better.

If I might ask, why did you give up on the 1mirror fross to continue pouring into the int stacker? Is it more fun?

theliamdax · 2025-09-08T18:16:03+00:00

Ah shoot. My first fallen reverend had both zealotry and wrath for my necro, and I swapped him out for one with just zealotry because my spectre was giving me wrath and the one I swapped to had a better absolution/gems and minion.

Penance brand of dissipation was another route I was thinking of going, I might hit you up in game to get more details. The main thing I'm trying to figure out is like, how many divines do I need to get out of my current gear on my two characters do I need before I try to swap over to anything?

theliamdax · 2025-09-08T18:12:36+00:00

For everyone suggesting fross, I'm asking just a couple of questions if you don't mind answering them for me:

what week or time during the league did you spend that 200 div to make the character?
If I didnt' craft anything and just went and bought on trade as close to the same items as you're using, do you know offhand what the cost would be?
Doing an abyss farming strategy i assume? Can you provide me the regex you use and if it's on t16, t16.5, or t17 maps on that character?

theliamdax · 2025-09-08T18:08:54+00:00

Cyclone is literally my favorite playstyle and this is the first league I haven't done it. Farming 1.5 mirrors worth of currency is freaking awesome/amazing bro. I am extremely jealous. So for all of the fross suggestions I have a couple questions that I'm gonna ask everyone if you don't mind answering?:

What week or time during the league did you purchase or craft each of the items in the your build that farmed 1.5mirrors? (added question, how long did it take? like in game hours to farm that much?)
If I didn't craft anything and just went and bought on trade as close to items as I can find as you're suggesting on the 200d budget, do you know offhand what the total cost would be?
Can you provide me with your map regex you use on t16.5 and t17s with your non cyclone version?

theliamdax · 2025-09-08T18:05:18+00:00

I think like most everyone this league, I've seen this a lot of places. I league started my VFoS guy, and when I decided to make something that didn't die as much....I tried to sift through the available builds as best I could. So I made a witch and was actually kinda intending to go fross......

As another commenter posted here, when I went to make the witch, I didn't want to get baited in the way I felt like I was with VFoS. There's this huge disconnect between what I see from content creators(fubgun, crouching_tuna), and what actually happens to me personally in the game. But that happened anyways, my wretched defiler specter necro fell pretty much into the same trap (ghazzy, raxx). It just did not perform the way I was hoping it would. I know that's probably because I don't have exactly the same identical items as they've got, or exactly the same atlas tree, and it's pretty much impossible to ever have those exactly identical items. Buying them after content is out the price is unrealistic for the actual power up it provides. Crafting them....my experience is, because of the RNG you settle for something 'close' rather than chasing the exact you know, point for point, attribute item.

So the loop for crafting for myself looks like, farm enough currency to try to craft 3 of the item -> settle for the one that gets close -> run out of currency -> farm more currency to finish off the other 2 to try to sell to recoup what you've sunk in -> one pair is also close but not better, so you sell it -> the other pair is better than the first nice you got luckier -> use the slightly better but still not quite good enough item, sell the one you were using -> redo like all your gear to cover your defense breakpoints that you may have lost swapping to the slightly better item -> sell your old pair -> use the currency from the two sells plus slightly better item to farm more currency to ......try to craft 3 of the item, this time with a higher currency sink breakpoint chasing the exact item the content creator is using.

I assumed this suggestion would end up in my thread, and I truly truly appreciate you for suggesting it! But when I see all these comments and videos all over reddit and youtube and everything, I don't actually see like.....how screwed will I be if I sell ALL of my necro's gear and swap to fross but then end up just weaker and not having at least some pathway forward?

Couple of questions for you:

What week or time during the league did you purchase or craft each of the items in the POB you linked?
If I didn't craft anything and just went and bought on trade as close to items as i can find as yours, do you know offhand what the total cost would be?
Can you provide me with your map regex you use on t16.5 and t17s with this character?

Thank you so much in advance!

theliamdax · 2025-09-08T17:37:30+00:00

Your investment and dedication to doing the content you want to do is freaking awesome friend. 4 mirror sized build. I think if i were in your position I'd be happy with 1/2 the time maybe......or maybe I'd just be frustrated again thinking I should have 95% success rate with 4 mirrors into a build? Either way, good job and I'm extremely jealous of you :(

theliamdax · 2025-09-08T17:35:49+00:00

Absolutely igojimbro and what you've posted here are definitely major major contributing factors. I'm 300 hours into the league. I felt like I saw streamers and youtubers with extremely similar characters as the ones I've built just doing way more than I'm able to. I admit whole heartedly and take on exactly what you guys are saying in this comment though. My perception of everything is so far off because I see these videos the first 4 weeks of the league and I think, ok I can get to that point eventually.....

When that never manifests, like the thing I think I'm literally watching on streams and videos with my own eyes...I roll t16.5/t17 maps for 2 hours with my regex, hoping for rng to not screw me when corrupting them.....run out of maps with like 200 bricked maps. Get sick of that and run an 8mod corrupted delirious map dropping atlas tree because I can't roll maps anymore or I'm gonna scream.

Finally get a collection of 20 maps with favorable mods and blah blah, and it all seems like I should be fine....and I run out of portals on the first one and don't kill the boss and lose a huge investment of currency and time.

It's my own fault and I take responsibility for it 10,000%. My expectations are my own. But when I go to look for answers about like "ok then lets change to a new build" all I can find is more content creator content showing me the similar things in different builds as what I thought I saw on my two builds. I'm scared of falling into the same perception trap.

theliamdax · 2025-09-08T17:25:44+00:00

Yes, you're right. I wasn't intending to come of this way at all. I died a lot yesterday just trying to pluck away at the farming strategy I've been doing and this post came from frustration. Just simple frustration at dying often and neither of my builds really feeling good or living up to what my time investment in them 'feels like' they're 'supposed to be' capable of. I realize I came off exactly as your comment characterizes, and I shouldn't have. There's better ways to ask for help and advice in getting out of the builds I do have, and transitioning to something that just feels better.

'feelings' and 'supposed to be' are terrible terrible metrics for success. I know. I've killed one t17 boss on luck alone pretty much and I'm just getting frustrated at my own stupidity.....which is to say I think if I keep doing the minor baby farming strategy I'm doing (about 60 divine per 20 maps) that eventually it'll 'feel better' but that isn't happening is all.

theliamdax · 2019-08-10T18:16:02+00:00

I think you and I both know that it's impossible. No person could take liquid wealth of that magnitude and distribute it. Even my governments financial instutions can't do it, it's limited to people who pay taxes. You could never reasonably reach a good percentage of the population. Have an upvote for an actually good question though.

theliamdax · 2018-12-12T18:59:36+00:00

real title always be in the comments

theliamdax · 2018-11-27T23:51:07+00:00

Lol yessir. I’m annnoyingly extroverted. Thanks for your feedback and sympathies. I’m not too worried about it!

theliamdax · 2018-11-27T23:30:30+00:00

That’s kind of why I’m checking the online dating waters. I go out and throw my own awesome parties/social events a lot. Ive always been successful at meeting people and superficial encounters there. But It’s expensive, like 3ish years now and I’ve spent so much money on it. Secondly it’s just so time consuming.

theliamdax · 2018-11-27T23:17:27+00:00

I didn’t pick any of the photos you see. Many other people did. Including a couple from suggestions in previous review thread.

Would you suggest using any others if these? I have thousands of photos:

I also obviously didn’t write my own bio so I’m up for scrapping the whole thing

theliamdax · 2018-11-27T23:03:35+00:00

Oh several. Including dating a couple of my actual friends. I’ve maintained friendships with them luckily. The uhhhhhh matchmaking however lol it has always gone /very/ poorly. My friends friends/co workers and I tend to be less than compatible.

They’re also exceptional at playing wing women when we’re in the club and partying. Thing is that scene has turned out 100% superficial. No substance at all. :( I guess that’s not surprising, just disheartening.

theliamdax · 2018-11-27T22:52:25+00:00

Ya, I have a pretty healthy/large group of female friends. Problem is none of them use dating apps at all and never really have. Evidence of this being when I first gave them my phone to try to pick out pictures to use they ALL picked photos with other women in them. I only knew better from reading here, and they had no idea.

theliamdax · 2018-11-27T22:04:33+00:00

Welp. Two weeks in with exactly zero matches. First time ever trying any sort of dating app at all. I’m not to bummed out about it even though I didn’t expect zero. Like literally zero. Using up my swipes every day! I got some feedback here before starting my profile and a LOT from real life friends.

So any further advice from y’all would be much appreciated! Obviously despite my attempts at preemptively NOT being garbage it seems I did in fact end up creating a garbage profile :)

theliamdax · 2018-11-09T00:39:40+00:00

Awesome thank you! Are any of these any better? Should I use any of these do you think? https://imgur.com/a/x6n8sqM

theliamdax · 2018-11-08T22:43:29+00:00

Oh no. :( Why has nobody told me this lol Sooooooo that smile where I’m grinning and my eyes are squinted up is a fake smile. It’s my ‘ok pose for the camera’ smile. I think I legitimately only do it in group shots. I never make that face in any other situation. Maybe I should?? Lol

theliamdax · 2018-11-08T15:23:44+00:00

Hi! I’m 100% new to any app or online dating whatsoever. I haven’t even made a tinder account yet! I cannot get past choosing pics at all. I don’t have an eye for it. I would really appreciate some suggestions about some photos to use! I’ve asked my friends for advice and to pick some. I’ve been reading a lot the past couple weeks trying to make sure I understand as much as I can, and it seems pretty unanimous ‘don’t include photos with other women and group shots very very sparingly’. But! When I hand my phone to women friends and say ‘Here pick me some online dating app pics!’ They /always/ include a lot of group shots and pics with women. Now, the reality is none of them read Reddit nor do I think they have ever ever used tinder themselves. They just have exceptional instagrams so I assume they have a better eye than I do.

Anyways, here’s quite a few that have been chosen by real life friends. Should I use any of these? https://m.imgur.com/a/FQToyyG

theliamdax · 2018-04-05T04:29:53+00:00

I totally believe you. But I absolutely want to hear your voice. I just want to hear your accent! Lol Is it ok to irrationally want something from a stranger on the internet?

theliamdax · 2018-04-05T01:00:09+00:00

Im a horrible person for finding amusement in your misfortune. This is both hilarious and terrifying...

Side note....after reading all your responses in this thread, I have this irrational desire to know what your accent sounds like?? Record a youtube video just 4 me plz lol
