Every time I try Uber Atziri on a character, it makes me want to quit PoE.
" I'm well aware of the OP's history. I was simply observing that that's what all his threads always turn into, whether justified or not. My point wasn't that he had a point, but that despite that very history existing as a testament to the futility of the endeavour, people STILL keep responding to it. Much like how despite Kopo doing the same schtick over and over for ages and getting called out on it every time but never changing, people still keep taking the bait. Basically, if you think Shady is poor for always coming to the forums with his issues, what of the people who can't seem to leave those threads alone? Even if you think Kopo is messing with us, what of the people who allow it to draw them in despite knowing his reputation? Are they really the only ones with a problem here? Cos I'd say they're not the only ones repeating the same acts. A smarter community would, knowing the history, know to just ignore it. But we don't see that. So much so that at this point I no longer bother calling for it on Kopo's threads, rather I'm happy to join in on the clusterfuck since I know it'll exist regardless of what I do or don't do. Might as well have some fun. Shady's threads are sadder tho, there's no fun in beating down on him. Hence, as I know they won't be left alone either, I tend to empathize with him. He's not going to stop, so what point is there in bashing him every time? It just seems sadistic, as if they do it just cos they enjoy dunking on him. There's certainly no productive reason to do it, as he's amply shown by now. Last edited by Exile009#1139 on Jan 4, 2022, 7:15:50 AM

Seems totally legit to me.
Whenever they balance something around the fact that there is some extreme outlier that mitigates the thing to the point of laughable or outright immunity is available they make it too much for anyone that only invests into mitigation moderately. This applies to like half the lategame now, not just corrupted blood. I guess swapping out gear/passives for specific encounters is here to stay. Gear swapping maybe okay, but swapping out passives costs regrets which I don't like as it becomes an unavoidable expense. POE2 should be the ruthless vision experience and POE1 should be the zoom power fantasy sandbox to capture both audiences. I petition to return all the fun stuff that was removed or nerfed over the years back into POE1. Last edited by Bosscannon#3325 on Jan 4, 2022, 7:22:33 AM

" The forums are a way to fill time for some of us. Some posters provide some entertainment through their theatrics, whether they are a performer or otherwise. Responding to threads that make a valid point is boring. What do you post other than "I agree" and then move on. The thrashing about and theatrics on the forum is more fulfilled by responding to the shitposters and trolls. I'm not going to say it's fun and fulfilling, but it does fill the time. I do believe OP and Kopo are sincere in their beliefs; they just lack introspection and a reasonable amount of self-awareness. Thanks for all the fish!

Just run immunity on your pot and press it when you get hit, I haven't died to corrupted blood since I barraged a revenant on blood aqueduct in blight and even that was because i hadn't bothered to roll the flask yet.
The reason immunity is so readily available as being on a mastery or a corrupted jewel is because they expect you to deal with it in the incredibly easy way they provide you to deal with it. If someone was gonna complain about Atziri trio it should be that titty bitch hits harder than every current endgame boss if you don't kill her first lmao |

" I do. |

The only time I'd even attempt Uber Atziri is when having full reflect immunity.
Which means for me it's only when I play Slayer. CBA changing tree/gear for it, many builds don't give you much flexibility either. Corrupted blood is a beast I've grown to appreciate over time. Reflect, not. Last edited by al3xro#4727 on Jan 4, 2022, 8:11:32 AM

There are a few ways of dealing with corrupted blood. The mentioned gem was the most common method. I use the flasking method (having a remove/immune to bleeding mod on one of my life flasks). With the rework of the passive tree in 3.16, there is another way as well. One of the passive options for the 'resistance' passives is immunity to corrupted blood.
I dunno what you're playing, I often play witch, and grab the chaos/curse resistance ring between her and Templar. If I wanted corrupted blood immunity, I could use that ring to grab the immunity as well. The best part is, as long as you have a few orbs of regret around, you can swap it out as needed. Remove the point and replace it with curse reduction, or chaos resistance.... whatever might be appropriate for what you are tackling next. |

" That's the thing though: what's the point of a mechanic that is extremely lethal and so easy to counter ? Most builds just need CB immunity. Now it is a great deal better as you can access it in the tree, but still. As OP said, this is a defensive requirement, and a very specific one. And reflect is just the same if you ask me. |

" I told him about this in another thread. My kids don't listen sometimes too ;) P.S. @ShadyC - why are you only running three flasks on your Raider? ~ Please separate the PoE1 and PoE2 forums. Last edited by DoubleU#7266 on Jan 4, 2022, 9:46:42 AM

" Its a test of the player? Shaper slam is easy to counter because you do the things you are expect to to avoid it, you can ignore corrupted blood with enough regen except for extreme versions like any bleed or ignite, the counter is you are supposed to have a way of dealing with mechanics lol Reflect isn't as easy to build around its almost entirely binary and should be cut, you don't play around reflect like you play around corrupted blood, bleed or ailments you are either immune or you aren't and getting immune has a significant cost - if you aren't immune you cannot interact with the mechanic in any way because the values are ridiculous. |
