Yeah Nimis is where you really want phasing so you can basically stand inside of enemies as you kill them. Don't know it you noticed but Returning Projectile Support applies a whopping 60% less damage to projectiles on the return path, and it still shreds stuff. Nimis lets you lose that penalty AND frees up the slot for another support gem which is more than worth the random spread.

I found a nimis in my first league right at the very end about a day after I got my mageblood like 2 weeks before the league ended. Some guy yelled at me for charging a ton for it but iirc

Wouldn't it be better to use tainted currency to 6L afterwards if you get a success?

6S, get the colors, toss it in, if it survives 4-5L at the bench and throw tainted fusing orbs at it would be the more efficient route yea?

I was scared for you for a minute there, then I realized you put the AG gem in the Hungry Loop, you didn't try to animate the Hungry Loop itself.

Oh I found Nameless Seer in act 2. Best choice was a 10iiq sadimas, got 5c for it.

So far I've disconnected twice, died in the room before the last fight, and once on the last Izaro fight when he had a sliver of health left. Tedious AF


EDIT - Friend request sent. Died 3 times to Izaro's teleporting me right onto a saw blade thing. I'm done with this game's bullshit for the night. Time for some other kind of bs.

You idiot.
In this world it's pet or BE pet.

Having gotten my league mandated fill of ritual disappointment, I've swapped over to ultimatum+harvest which seems to be working out pretty well? Harvest only needs 1 scarab and ultimatum seems pretty good with double bribe scarabs, been getting a stuff that actually has value pretty consistently and it feels like they've reworked the reward generation for inscribed ultimatums to be significantly better than last league.

Do you know about Darkshrines? That final room is nearly impossible if you don't disable the traps in it especially if you get the room with the saw blades/spinning spike things. Keeping your distance from Izaro is extremely important as he has a couple big slams that will just instantly kill you and if you don't have room to maneuver, welp.

Go here:
https://www.poelab.com/

The lab layout changes daily but if you look on the map, you can see nodes that are marked with a "D". Depending on the lab you're running, there are up to 3 4 darkshrines per map. They are hidden behind wall switches but you can see them on your mini-map (you'll see a small walled-off unexplored room on your map). If you search around the entrance to it, you'll find hidden switches that will open a door to let you in. The darkshrines have all sorts of effects such as:
* permanent shrine effects (replenishment, brutal, etc)
* Izaro drops extra keys
* Disable all traps in izaro's room. This is the one that you really want because it trivializes the izaro fight when you can just keep him on the opposite side of the room from you.

E: EFB

EE: This reminds me that I still need to run the Eternal Lab.

EEE: Here’s what a dark shrine entrance looks like. Most of them look like this but the ones that spawn outdoors look different (but still have a walled-off area and a hidden switch):

arrogance gives increased aura effect, so even though your Dread Banner costs nothing it's gaining 20% inc effect from the support
