Could Shaper please gently caress off from my maps? I've nearly logged twice since he behaves exactly like a lag/desync spike.

He's also swinging all the way up to Templar and into Witch to pick up the remaining Flask nodes and Mind over Matter, while ending up with 6 jewel sockets to offset some/any damage loss of not staying around Ranger/Duelist. And he's taking as much Area Damage as he can, because he's Poison Blade Flurry, and is scaling extra damage from the application of Area Damage both to Blade Flurry's initial hit and the subsequent Poison damage.

Whirling suddenly into a peacock pack with Violent Retailation and instantly gaining 24 stacks of 4% movement speed is the best feeling.

Breaches are great, considering they're fun loot-pinatas with fantastic density, that are 100% controlled by the player if they want to participate in the mechanic or not.

Except Tul. gently caress Tul. Why do your breaches always spawn 2-3 Rare Vortex-spawning assholes immediately?

People are also crashing on dx9, so it might just be hosed for a while. RIP the map I was running, anyway.

Tier 1 maps will be the only ones to drop outside of maps. In maps, you'll get anything up to +2 the level of the current map plus the Atlas bonus (so a rare/unique monster might drop something +3 tiers up, but good luck with that).

Map drops still respect drop restrictions. Magic/Rares/Uniques are capped at max to +1 of the current level of the map, with the boss being the only one capable of dropping a +2.

125% completion would, for example, in a Tier 6 map cause any Tier 4 maps that drop to be upgraded to Tier 5 with a 25% chance of being a Tier 6.

I keep managing to sneak maps in between the servers self-immolating. I should probably take the hint and go do something else until they calm down, and stop tempting fate with my HC char.

Finally picked up a Surrender, and now my health bar doesn't move.

This is going to be great.

If you're physical blade flurry with no poison going on, is picking up a Witchfire Brew solely for the Vulnerability aura worth the flask slot? I keep leaning towards no, but I always come back to "but I could have another more damage modifier...".

Probably Voll's Devotion.

The Talisman card seems neat. We could always do with more talismans.

Lingering Remnants, though, 16 cards :lol:

Max block (or close enough) is such a treat in Breaches. Esh breaches are pretty much a faith building exercise where I pray my self-healing from all of the blocking will carry me through the swarm of enemies.

Playing this build right now. It levels fast and clears very well with Sunder. I swap to the static strike for Boss fights. Most expensive item is the new The Surrender shield, but it is not required at all.

Goddamnit.

I've been playing this whole time at 70% block thinking "I...guess I could maybe at some point try to max it out?", forgetting entirely that the very first Ascendancy node I took gives +8% block on being damaged recently.

Just a quick sanity check: The Formless Flame/Inferno's "Armour is increased by uncapped Fire Resistance" is referring to your global total armour, and not the specific armour value of the Helm itself, yes?

I'm up to T9s, though I don't typically clear very fast to begin with. Bosses will take a while, but trash clearing is typically fine, and breaches are great.

"Allies Cannot Die can no longer spawn on Breach Commanders."

Well, that only took 3 weeks.

Turns out you can in fact block Xoph's blade vortex.

My max block surrender character appreciates the permanent max hp state Xoph puts me in for 60% of the fight.

Sweet, I was wanting to make ED anyway, and the mystery box gave me an Arcane Tome Totem Skin, which was I thought was neat looking.

Probably doing something with max Block again, though previous league was Blade Flurry which is now nerfed. Maybe go back to a spell of some kind with Cybil's Paw?

Could I get like, 15% more life added in the Ranger/Shadow/Duelist area? That'd be swell if they could just magically add a cluster because it's just under my comfort level without having to run all the way over to Marauder.

It did give me some last minute skill tree re-planning to eek out a comfortable 181% life route with no appreciable loss in damage, so I'm pretty happy.

I'm not sure who posted what build where that involves a Victario's Acuity, but I appreciate the jump from 15c yesterday to 35c today, since that just earned me another 20c after I had mine listed up and wasn't selling.

not unless they bring incinerate back, no

My favourite time in the game still remains Spell Echo Incinerate with a Cybil's Paw, Phase Acro and Max Block, on top of a Lightning Coil.

Nearly everything about that has been changed :(

700+ ES chests with a 5L on top of it? No, people actively craft those type of chests to sell since they're in demand.

Breach, Bloodlines, Perandus, and Rampage are my go-tos, with Rampage paired alongside Breach often because free damage/effects that help kill the Breach density is always nice.

You could farm/buy Celestial Justicar divination cards and then craft the Astral Plate 6L you get from it.

I really should be selling these Ancient Reliquary Keys...but like, that's the slot machine mechanic of this league! I need to open them :(

Still down about 66 chaos so far though.

That feeling when you finally find loving Zana in a map, and the map she's in as well as the map (Olmec's Sanctum) she spawns for you each drop an Exalted Orb :toot:

I just hate the traps. Izaro is not usually the problem, since I'm used to the fight, but gently caress traps in a game like this.
