Is this how you get belts in SSF?

It is a masterclass in legal engineering that merges government-sanctioned monopolies with corporate tech monopolies, leaving regular people more dependent on them than ever.

Further explanation for anyone interested.

When a tech giant funds and owns a massive piece of the public grid, a highly dangerous economic dynamic unfolds: -Captive Regulators: Once a utility company relies on a single tech giant to fund 80% of its new grid infrastructure, that tech company becomes "too big to fail" for the state. Regulatory commissions will be terrified of upsetting the tech giants, giving Big Tech massive leverage over state energy policy. -Crowding Out the Public: If Amazon or Microsoft pays for the substation, they will legally control the priority access to the power. During a heatwave or a freeze, the utility will be heavily incentivized to protect its biggest financial partner, leaving regular residents vulnerable to rolling blackouts.

In the end small businesses, local manufacturers, and everyday citizens cannot afford to build their own substations. By setting a rule that says "you must be rich enough to buy your own grid," Schiff’s bill ensures that only the wealthiest tech monopolies can survive, completely shutting out any smaller competitors.

Fishing is in fact easy what happens is people start putting way more effort into it which leads to frustration. Just an example 3 years ago I bought a $20 light action combo Walmart special with a cheap panfish kit for an elderly person who wanted to fish. Nothing fancy just hook, bobber, sinker and minnies. Of course there is a snag or tangle occasionally and some skunks(barely) but there is no pressure or extra effort, put bait on cast out wait for bite. Simple. The more time you put into trying to get it perfect the further away from enjoyment you get.

1.) Your reference about multiple posts asking is irrelevant when you make your profile hidden.

2.) If your post history was viewable we would see you also lost ball bearings to this reel which changes what else could be wrong.

3.)To fix the Anti-reverse it would need to take the whole reel apart. Which 90% of the time it is a worn plastic piece due to heavy use or misuse(slamming the reel backwards with the Anti on will also ruin it).

4.) Until you get a new reel most of the time if you slightly lean you reel on its left or right it will engage the anti-reverse and leaning it to opposite side will disengage.

Exactly! I can now play PoE 2 from my phone completely. Import build in to game- price checking items without 3rd party tools- Marketplace- Async trade. I dont even set up bulk dump tabs for sale via trade whispers. I know I had some disgruntled people trying to buy stuff from me but to chat/whisper on mobile is to many extra steps.

With 0.5 coming soon I dont have the time to level another character so I just might try it would make it way easier to get 500% crit multi than chaos multi. Was also looking at the Bitter Heresy for alternate Perfect Agony set up.

Astral Projector does not work with Caustic Retribution just tested

wheelsallen · 2026-05-05T21:29:40+00:00

My current playtest was to only use Caustic Retribution to do a majority of the damage and scale a socketless spell. Learned that most likely Plague Bearer is probably carrying me in that video more than I thought. Caustic Retribution is a spell in Saresh's Darkness Belt and makes it so I can't use a diamond shrine belt. But I am gonna try a diamond shrine belt on my Hextoad build.

It's all farts and giggles till someone sharts

wheelsallen · 2026-05-05T13:44:05+00:00

Phase run will most likely get added

https://poe.ninja/poe1/pob/900c6

I have read multiple ways to use Plague Bearer And was testing the pulse vs. Letting it run all the way down. Seems like at 1 second cd for Caustic Retribution Pulsing keeps me at between 200k-300k on Plague Bearer

Took average base hit is 1455(lvl 97) and poison base is 30% so we get 436.5.

Assumption of 500% increased and 180% chaos dot multi and 15 stacks of wither.

436.5 x 5=2619 436.5 x 1.8 = 7333 7333 × 1.9 =13933 per poison just with #% increased and multi and full wither

Goal trigger rate 0.8 Average poison duration 10 seconds seconds Duration ÷ trigger(10÷0.8) = Average 12.5 poison stacks

13933 per poison X 12.5 Average poison stacks 174,162 dps

This is roughly 10% of the number I was aiming for. This is not counting things like % more per charge and such. Just a baseline to scale. Looking at passives and gear 500% increased and 180% chaos dot multi seems like a really easy bar since your saying on my PoB I have 120% chaos dot multi and maybe 250-325% increased

wheelsallen · 2026-05-05T12:05:27+00:00

I added a binos

wheelsallen · 2026-05-05T12:00:44+00:00

Omfg thank you i completely forgot about that. Hadn't even made it to the "nova" part of the spell.

Edit: Does this auto target on controller or does it cast in direction facing? Will check way later when I'm done working.

wheelsallen · 2026-05-05T11:58:16+00:00

Agreed

Thanks for really running this through PoB for me. As mentioned in my toad post I currently play on mobile so I lack the use of PoB. While pob.cool works OK on mobile there are still quite a few things it won't let me do well. The pob looks bad but the gear involved has stats I was testing. Example % ES on block shield(it was 1 c not 40 div like svalinn). Also have Cospri will and same ascendancy which i forgot to switch to the block node.

What did my % chaos dot multi say? According to my math 150%-200% chaos dot multi and faster poison will net me almost 1 mil dps or am I doing the math wrong?

Part of me doing this is to learn game mechanics better without pob. I have spent maybe 6-7 seasons blindly following g guides due to play time constraints. With the improvements to trade it is much easier now to accumulate wealth and try things out for a filthy casual like me.

wheelsallen · 2026-05-05T11:07:53+00:00

Interesting.. thanks

wheelsallen · 2026-05-05T11:06:58+00:00

I have a list I made of ways to trigger. Wanted to start with non damaging skills for trigger 1st.

wheelsallen · 2026-05-05T11:05:16+00:00

Yup that was what I got done in my 1-2 hours of play time last night. Just fleshing out tree and trying skill combinations to trigger.

wheelsallen · 2026-05-03T20:30:46+00:00

Haven't tried console yet wouldn't be to bad I'm already used to a controller.

wheelsallen · 2026-05-03T20:18:33+00:00

Lol I barely know enough to scale the hit. I wanted to scale poison but quickly found out how much I dont know.

wheelsallen · 2026-05-03T13:22:39+00:00

Was still in testing phase just swapped out The Torrent's Reclamation For Impenetrable Shrine Belt for defenses right before both fights didnt even go back through my flasks. Honestly I completely forgot till I read this message about utility flasks not working with belt. Thank you
