you
I
Yo
I'm downloading the path patch right now. I don't think it goes live for another couple hours though
Good morning. Oh
Fucking I need my phone one sec
Thank you.
I don't think you got too much longer if you still have that long until POE 2.
you think I feel like I've got a while man.
Path releases in what, two hours?
I don't think I have time.
But a couple other things, Jesus Christ,
I'm getting hit with a lot of things to do.
Volb sent me like eight videos.
I had a different video I wanted to watch.
Finn showed this to me on our podcast last night
and he's like, we're not gonna watch the pod bro.
Like when the fuck am I gonna watch it?
You watch it when you're home.
I wanted to see this.
Hold on.
There's a Yu-Gi-Oh!
Yu-Gi-Oh!
Winner.
How this player won Yu-Gi-Oh!
Something.
This might be it.
OK.
So this video was posted eight days ago.
Apparently this guy made some Yu-Gi-Oh! deck and he went to a tournament. Apparently he's not even that good
But he won the entire fucking tournament because he made some crazy deck that just countered everyone
I don't know any other details. I have no idea, but a lot of like Yu-Gi-Oh! sweats are pissed
So I wanted to see it. That's all I know. I don't know anything else. I've not seen this
This is Marquis Henderson, a 16-year-old boy who has just performed the greatest upset
in trading card game history, because he just won a 1400-man Yu-Gi-Oh Championship out of
nowhere.
Even more surprising was the fact that this was the first large Yu-Gi-Oh event he had
ever attended.
A random kid who had never even won a local tournament would somehow embrace the heart
of the cards and breeze through the top tables.
Humiliating pro players along the way, some of whom were so salty that they refused to
shake the boys hand after the match was over. You see, while his opponents used decks that
cost thousands of dollars, Marquis instead scrounged together a deck using only cards
that he could afford, but he would still somehow assemble a strategy that would completely counter
the best decks in the meta. Yet in the eyes of the elitist Yu-Gi-Oh community, not only was he
a nobody, but he was piloting a mediocre, frustrating deck that they thought was terrible.
So just how did he manage to conquer all odds and win a Yu-Gi-Oh Championship?
Well, allow me to explain.
Our story starts in the year 2012, where Marquise is a freshman in high school,
playing Yu-Gi-Oh casually with his friends during lunch.
Though highly popular, Yu-Gi-Oh is one of the most expensive trading card games.
Rare cards were frequently short-printed, creating artificial scarcity,
with the stable cards needed for each deck costing hundreds of dollars on the secondary market.
Needless to say,
Oh, the queue for Path of Exile 2 is up?
Doesn't Path not fucking happen for another like two hours?
Also, I'm downloading, I'm at 20%, and it's barely moving.
So...
We're gonna have to wait on this.
I don't know what you want me to say.
Hey, it was difficult for anyone to acquire these powerful cards.
Never mind a boy in high school who had bigger priorities to save for, like Hot Lunch and Jordans.
Now, Yu-Gi-Oh! was also one of the most complex games, often with rules that weren't written anywhere in the official rulebook.
Because of these reasons, despite the game being marketed towards children,
the average tournament would still comprise mainly of adults in their 20s and 30s,
so being only 16 years old certainly made things a lot harder.
Now, Marquis would learn from his friends that there was a local card store in their area that
hosted Yu-Gi-Oh tournaments every Saturday, with a flood of eager duelists occupying every
square foot of the store. Though he consistently attended these tournaments for months, he would
never win a single one.
I wasn't even really playing, but for like a year and a half, I just kind of started. But yeah,
Yeah, I never went local before. I've been playing, just with my friends and stuff like that.
Being a big city, the players in his local scene at Atlanta were much more skilled
and had the budget to play the most powerful decks.
Yet with each and every tournament, Marquis would slowly improve.
After school, he would go online to research the metagame on forms
and watch videos to learn the combos.
Outside of drumline and basketball, Yu-Ki-Oh had quickly become his favorite hobby.
While his skills were no doubt improving, being a high school student,
he still didn't have access to the game's strongest cards.
Popular decks at the time included the dino rabbit strategy, which left-
The what?
I don't know any Yu-Gi-Oh meta.
What the fuck?
What the fuck is cards?
Popular de-
The rescue rabbit?
What even is this?
Is this it?
Rescue rabbit plus dinosaur.
Is this some crazy combo?
I don't-
Biscard?
Alright, I don't know Yu-Gi-Oh, but-
Next at the time included the dino rabbit strategy which leveraged the cuddly rescue rabbit to summon
out two normal dinosaurs that could be combined into the Evulsor Lagia and Doka to negate hard
and monster effects. It would go toe-to-toe with the wind-ups, a combo deck that could set up an
army of toys and rip away the opponent's hand on the first turn with a loop that involved recycling
the wound-up hunter over and over again. But they made these decks really hard to put together.
Their signature cards were printed in the highest rarity, Secret Rare, which meant you would be
lucky to even pull one out of a box of 36 booster packs. To give you an example, Rescue Rabbit and
Evolver Doka were both $80 each and cards like one of Xen-Mains were $150. And most of the time
you could play up to three copies of a given card, so if you multiply that, it was pretty ridiculous
even by modern day standards. But it gets worse, because there were two cards that were so powerful,
every single deck would have to play them. Four Guide from the Underworld was a generic monster.
When this card is normal summon, you can special summon a level 3 fiend monster from your hand or deck.
But negate its effects.
Also, it cannot be used as synchro-
I don't know if that's what I'm talking about, I'm not gonna know what to do with it.
Who could then search for all of the other deck's signature monsters when he was sent to the graveyard?
But it also spawned two bodies for an instant XC summon,
like Levier the Sea Dragon to revive Rescue Rabbit or Wind of Zenmite to summon out any windup.
And three copies of Tour Guide cost $450 because of its secretarity and, of course, the waifu tax.
Then there is Maxi, a shiny bug that led the user draw a card for every summon the opponent
conducted on a given turn, a mandatory counter to heavy combo decks like the Wind-Ups,
and one of the only ways to circumvent the turn 1 hand loop when going second.
It's ironically still one of the most powerful cards in modern day,
which justifies its $100 price tag at the time.
In total, this meant that you would have to spend well over $1,000 to build a solid Yu-Gi-Oh! deck.
Without these triple cards, you were basically put at a significant disadvantage,
a barrier that many players would struggle with at the time, and honestly that kind of continues to this day.
Marquis would obviously feel a little discouraged knowing that this was an issue that he and his friends had faced.
But one day in their group chat, one of Marquis's friends excitedly shared an idea.
A deck that had somehow won the national championship the year prior out of nowhere.
It was a TG Stun deck.
My friend showed me, he's like, oh, this deck is cheap.
We can play this deck.
OK, I'll give it a shot.
A strategy that leveraged using trap cards
to stun the opponent out from playing, like Skill Drain,
which, as the name would imply, negated all monster effects
on the field.
Skill Drain stops everything.
And in my head, I was like, I didn't know too much.
I was reading all the cards.
I'm like, is this not the best card in the game?
Now, the whole concept of the TG deck
was to stun out the opponent using the trap cards
while the tech genus monsters were to replace themselves
when they were destroyed in combat,
creating a cycle of near-infinite resources
while whittling down the opponents using the traps.
And since these effects activated in the graveyard,
they were unaffected by skill drain,
which only negated monster effects on the field.
This deck is great.
Like, this is the one I just win the most with.
I just played so much with it.
Played it for like five or six months, just that one deck.
Marquis quickly jumped onto the idea.
The cards were relatively cheap for the most part
and easily accessible.
The only problem with this deck
was that its competitiveness was rather short-lived.
By this time, it had since been outclassed
by newer cards and excessive power creep that was difficult for trap-based decks to
keep up with, especially when going second, so the deck had been dropped by the rest of
the player base.
But Marquis would continue playing TGs.
It became his signature deck, and he strove to make it even better, making tweaks to it
day by day.
This would continue for the next few months, and as time passed, Marquis would eventually
participate in regional tournaments.
These were events on a larger scale that would attract stronger opponents, often a few hundred
who would travel from other cities, it hopes to place him in the top percentile to receive
an invite to the national championship held at the end of the year.
His best finish at these regionals would be a 7-3 final record, a career highlight.
An impressive feat on paper, but not exactly notable in the competitive Yu-Gi-Oh scene,
for you would typically need a 9-1 record to place in the top 8 and receive prizes.
So naturally no one in the competitive scene would know the name Marquis Henderson, never
mind even in his own local area.
And just a few months later, this would change completely.
Alright, here we go.
Now I kinda get it.
It was soon announced that Atlanta would be the host city for the next Yu-Gi-Oh!
Championship Series, the most competitive tournament at the highest peak of the game
that would draw over 1000 duelists, including notable pro players who dominated the tournament
circuit.
Now, Marquise was rather unfamiliar with championship-level tournaments.
His familiarity with competitive Yu-Gi-Oh!
was limited mostly to his area,
with regional tournaments being the extent
of what he had experienced.
So when his friends told him about YCS Atlanta,
he figured it'd be the size of regionals
with a hundred players or two at most.
But he had no idea that this would be something far greater
than you would have ever imagined.
My friend just told me about this event.
I didn't know what it was gonna be about.
It was like 50, 100 people.
My dad, the first day I went to the event,
YCS, he's like chilling in the free convention center.
He's like, oh yeah, we can go to the convention,
I'll go with you.
On the Friday of the tournament,
his dad would drive him to the venue to pick up their entry batches, and only upon entering
would he be shocked by the sheer scale of the event.
Instead of a few hundred players, there was well over one thousand, a robust hall filled
with the most competitive, daring challengers, many of whom had ventured from the opposite
side of the country to test their skills.
You see, the winners of this tournament in particular would receive the coveted Blood
Mephist prize card that to this day sells for thousands of dollars unlike the other prize cards and for reasons unknown
The blood Mephist has never been reprinted rumors say it's due to legal reasons with the cards original artist meaning that the only
copies of the card in existence to this very day were the limited copies given out to the winners of these tournaments
Making it now one of the rarest cards in newgeo history
So naturally, there was a big prize at stake.
But before the tournament had even begun, these players had already activated their
strongest card, the credit card.
The vendors were completely overwhelmed, with players swiping left and right, forced to
pay premiums on last minute cards that they needed for competition the very next day.
Most of them were using Diamond Rabbit or Windups, with a few other decks in between that were
equally as pricey.
Luckily for Marquis, the expensive cards in his TG deck, like Pot of Duality and Solid
morning had already been reprinted the year prior, costing only a few dollars instead
of hundreds.
But nevertheless, he still wanted to make important additions to his deck where possible.
With only $40 left to his name, Max C was out of the equation, certainly putting him
at a disadvantage, especially when going second, and he would perhaps be the only player in
the entire hall that was not playing the card.
But at the same time, he had a feeling inside that for his trap-heavy deck, he wouldn't
need it.
And you know, saving 300 bucks didn't seem like a bad idea either.
Markies walked up to the vendors and decided to finally splurge on a lone copy of Brian
Ack Dragon of the Ice Barrier, a card that wasn't necessary for the deck at all, but
could be made in niche scenarios with a TV striker and was another step to optimizing
his deck into the strongest it could possibly be for the tournament the next day.
I spent my last $40 on the freaking Brian Ack that I needed for my deck.
I summoned it once, but it won me the game so it's freaking worth it.
Lastly, in place of the Maxi, he opted instead to run two copies of the Beast King Barber
A card that had never seen play before.
Though printed as a level 8 with an attack value of 3000, Beast King had an effect that
would allow its user to drop its attack to 1900 and normal summon it without tributing
any monsters.
But, while Skildrain was on the field, it would negate this drop back completely and
restore its attack back to 3000, threatening even the Blue Eyes White Dragon.
His deck would maximize the full capacity of Skildrain, a card whose potential he recognized
early on.
King Ryle, I gotta read the skill drain activate by paying a thousand life points the effects of all face-up monsters on the field are
Negated while those monsters are face-up on the field, but their effects can still be activated. So
This seems to be like his big counter is this essentially makes all their like infinite loop
busted effect cards just broken
But it says all monsters on the field
So then his deck doesn't actually have anything that's negatively affected. So his deck is kind of built around this
Something like that or his apparently his mock monsters activate from like the graveyard
Okay, that's it. That's a deal skill drain a card whose potential he recognized no one cares nerd. How about a shower?
Early on
The opponent from searching the deck cards while horn of the phantom beast
He's boosted his beast monsters, and let him draw a card each time the monster trampled
over an opposing one.
Well, I gotta hear what he's saying, because this seems important, one sec.
King Ryle would stun the opponent from searching the card whose potential he recognized early
on.
Gunner King Ryle would stun the opponent from searching their deck for cards, while Horn
of the Phantom Beast boosts their card.
Now, read this.
Neither player can add cards from their deck to their hand, except by drawing them.
You can send this face-up card to the graveyard to negate the special summon of one of your
opponent's monsters and destroy it, okay?
King Ryle would stun the opponent from searching their deck for cards, while Horn of the Phantom
Beast boosted his beast monsters and let him draw a card each time the monster trampled
over an opposing one by battle.
And last but not least, Roborn Tegu was a pesky beast warrior who could be powered up
by the horn and also replaced itself when it was removed from the field.
In total, his deck would cost just over $100, and most of the players in the hall would
scoff at the idea of this deck being remotely competitive.
Day 1 of the tournament kicked off, which would start off extremely well for Marquis
Henderson, who jump-started his event with 6 wins and 0 losses.
With his friends shocked beyond belief, Marquis was completely locked in.
He would only drop his first match in Round 7 to an empty jar deck, another rogue strategy
that relied on decking out the opponent by looping the morphing jar over and over again.
But outside of this, all of his other opponents had utilized powerful metadex, and some of
these opponents became perturbed for Marquis would have to read a lot of their cards, which
agitated them even further, because this dude was going around playing a frustrating rogue deck,
but also reading the popular cards that they would have expected him to know
with a 6-0 record at a major tournament like this.
And both his opponents and the judges were especially shocked to find that Marquis wasn't familiar with the combos and rulings that they thought were-
Okay, hold on, hold on.
Uh...
23%, I have gotten 3% of my download de- 4%
of my download so far.
through this entire video.
That cannot be right.
The servers are fucked. I mean, should I change my Steam server?
Am I just fucked?
It's the biggest patch. No, I have great download speed.
Change your download region.
Would that actually do anything here? You're saying...
Okay, I'll do that might as well try
Like I feel like the issue isn't the region it's the game
Download region. Okay, so apparently Austin is not doing that. Well
Okay, here's a place restart to take effect okay restarting steam
Any second now hello steam logging in
All right dark and darker 28 20 damn
Damn, I'm speed running now. Okay. We're at 30 nice solid
It also pissed him off even further that he was flipping cards like Skilldrain that nullified
their expensive cards. These fires were completely shocked, and Ward of Mal spread pretty quickly.
Online, Cheddar slowly begun, with rumors of an unknown duelist who was playing in his first-ever
YCS with a budget version of an outdated deck idea that pissed off the pro players at the top
tables. While many reveled in the chaos and cheered Marquis on, others were less and optimistic.
Some of the pro players at the event even refused to shake his hand after the match,
as they were extremely salty about the prospect of losing to such a player,
and a deck that locked them down from playing.
Never mind one that was full of cheap, low rarity cards.
I don't know if he appreciated, like, you know, I kept drawing skill drain.
I kept drawing freaking skill drain,
and he actually MST'd when I flipped another one in response.
I just have freaking two skill drain.
What is MST?
He's skill drain, and he actually MST'd when I-
Target one, spell and trap on the field and destroy it.
Okay, so he, yes, and he destroyed it, then he put another skill drain.
I put, like, flip another one in response, I just have, like, two skill drains, he killed
mine, I just have another one, so he was mad about that.
Markies would play against several opponents utilizing the Dino Rabbit deck, a matchup
that he found to be favorable midway throughout the tournament.
He would send as many trap cards as possible, and then use skill drain to lock out their
signature of all the monsters.
But I was most afraid of with the Dino Rabbit deck, because they can just like, you're so
free to get like, oh well you can't even get around that, there's nothing you can do.
I didn't even know what Dino Rabbit did at the tower, it's scary.
During either player's turn, when a monster effect activates, you can detach XYZ material
from this card and negate the activation and something, something.
Some of the matches were just like, brain dead easy.
It wasn't even me, it was just like a good match of choice.
And at this point, you're probably wondering how he did so well.
I mean, it's his first major tournament, he's picking up cards to read them, his opponents
are frustrated, what was the secret sauce that Marquise had implemented?
Well for starters, none of his opponents were really prepared, and many of their decks would
lack adequate trap removal or ways to counter skill drain.
You see, a lot of these players weren't even playing Mystical Space Typhoon, which was a
classic way to destroy a spell and trap card.
In its place, they instead elected to play high impact hand disruption cards that could
be used on the first turn to try and stop the opponent from comboing, like Effect Valor
to negate the windup combo.
Ironically, these cards happen to be absolutely useless against Marquis's TG Stun deck, which
neither summoned a lot of monsters nor utilized their effects.
Since no one was prepared for it, this meant that Skildrain was there to stay on Marquis's
field, allowing him to ultimately finish with an impressive 9-2 final record.
Also, if you guys are enjoying this video, don't forget to subscribe to the channel
and touch that like button.
After the 11 Swiss rounds, the final standings were announced before the top 32 players would
face off in a sudden death playoff racket to ultimately decide the winner of the tournament.
And in 12th place was none other than Marquis Henderson.
His friends erupted in cheers.
Marquis had done the impossible.
He had made the top cut of a tournament with almost 1400 players, and defeated multiple
pro players along the way, with his own unique strategy.
But his job wasn't done yet.
He still had more yugioh to play.
His top 32 and top 16 matches would be against Alistair Albains and Michael Lux, two pro players
with dozens of prior accolades.
The former with the 2nd place championship finished, and the latter a 1st place champion.
Both players were using down a rabbit, which Skildrain and a plethora of traps would take
care of.
On an empty stomach, Top 8 would be an uphill battle, for his opponent, Jon Oxundine, would
and utilize a windup strategy that could spell Doom from Arquese if he went second.
Like I mentioned earlier, the deck had a signature turn 1 combo that could discard nearly every
single card in Arquese's hand before he even had a turn to play, especially because his
deck lacked the one defensive card that could refill his hand to prevent this, Max C.
But luckily for Arquese, he would win the DiRow and go first, setting up Skill Drain,
Which was more than enough to stop the wind-ups from, well, winding up.
Nearly winning Zaskir, thanks to a little bit of luck with the Dice Roll, the semi-final
match would once again test his fortune.
It was another wind-up upon it, a pro player by the name of Anthony Pascarello.
Now, Anthony's deck actually played two copies of Mystical Space Typhoon, and though Markies
would open the Dice Roll once again with a set skill drain, Anthony would open with both
copies of Mystical Space Typhoon. But the rest of his hand didn't contain any monsters,
allowing Marquis to simply beat him down. Even more interesting was the fact that Anthony had
anticipated the existence of rogue trap decks. And to account for this even further, he would also
side deck copies of Royal Decree, a continuous trap card that needed the effects of all other
trap cards. And in the second game, he would open with a copy of Royal Decree and Mystical Space
Typhoon, the perfect cards to counter Marquis' strategy. But just like in the first game,
the rest of his hand was rather weak, with a lone windup rabbit as his only line of offense,
which wasn't the card he needed to initiate the windup hand loop combo.
And not only this, but Marquis would top deck his own copy of Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy
the Royal Decree, along with him to set up his army of trap cards and ultimately win the match.
Marquis' guardian angel was evidently working overtime. Ironically, Hansei of Rero,
the winner of Nationals a year prior, and the pioneer of the TG Stun deck,
Yes, the very man whom Marquis got his idea from in the first place would also make the top cut with Dino Rabbit.
But he would be knocked out early by another player so the two wouldn't cross paths.
But he would give Marquis a few motivational words for what would be the most important match in his entire life.
The Finals.
His opponent would be the last remaining Dino Rabbit player in the tournament, and the stakes were higher than ever.
The guy in the finals, his name was Roman Rodriguez.
I still keep remembering him.
Great opponent, it was a great duel.
He actually said in the news, oh, uh, uh, don't take my picture.
And the staff was like, why don't we need a picture?
So I don't know, I don't think I'm gonna be so like, you won't find a picture of him anywhere.
So has he come in first?
You actually wouldn't have a picture of the like of the winner at all.
Miraculously, Marquis would go first yet again and set up the death's most optimal opening
play, Beast King Barbaros back behind four powerful trap cards with, you guessed it,
one of them being skill drain.
But the icing on top was a starlight road that would protect its field from being wiped
away by Roman's heavy storm.
In the second game, with his back against the wall, staring down his worst nightmare
in the form of two of Alzar Lagia's, he would somehow top-deck a pot of duality, revealing
the top three cards of his deck to add one to his hand.
the last revealed card, miraculously being the dark hole that he needed to wipe away
his opponents entire board.
This was a game-winning move that would raise the trophy and the Blood Mephist into the
air by the newly crowned champion of YC's Atlanta, Marquis Henderson.
I didn't even realize after I won, I was still locked in at the end of the day, I was like,
at the end of the finals, I was like, I didn't know what to do, I was still no more dueling,
I actually was in the thick of it.
Now I called my dad, I ended up winning.
With word of his victory, the entire Yu-Gi-Net erupted.
While the reaction was generally positive, many people couldn't fathom that a nobody had once such a prestigious tournament, especially a first-timer.
And of course with the strategy that no one felt was playable.
Now, funny enough, there would be another TG Stun...
Oh, I gotta read these as actual stats.
I think it's funny that people can automatically tell if his win was from luck or not,
just by sitting behind their computers, bouncing between this forum and the Konami website.
I find it funny that we directly assume that a 14-year-old with no YCS experience playing TG
with no hand traps to keep the current meta and check won the whole thing by skill.
Because you can set skill drain when your opponent goes first?
Okay.
I see that no one felt was playable.
Now funny enough, there would be another tg stun deck in the top 32 alone.
I just, I don't know where you're at when you're on the Yu-Gi-Oh forms in 2026.
It's, I don't know.
Side marquise.
Propelling the deck to finally be respected once more.
I'd be scared to be in a discord clock.
But the pros were angry.
They thought that Marquis' deckbuilding was sub-optimal.
He had played a budget-friendly alternative to the optimal build for going important
metagame cards like Maxi that, in their opinion, was a non-negotiable.
It was the only way of winning against wind-ups when going second.
Beyond that, they also said his ratios were incorrect, like playing one lone copy of Sala
Morning was one of the most powerful trap cards in the game that could negate any summon.
Then they malmitted the fact that Marquis had side-deck three copies of Deswombat, a
a card that was played for the sole purpose of countering Burn Decks.
Alright, nobody probably knows what this card is, but...
What the hell is this man?
I mean, please, guys, continue.
That's it.
No back.
No effect, man.
I never signed him, because I never played changes.
I'm so happy about it.
You're right.
Can I do it for you, then?
Except that Burn Decks were rogue in particular, and it was highly unlikely that anyone had
entered a championship tournament with one, meaning Marcisa effectively wasted three critical
slots in his 15-card side deck to account for a non-competitive deck that he'd encountered
once or twice at locals.
But it gets even worse.
One popular rumor would spread online saying that Marquis was autistic, which wasn't true
at all.
But, uh, okay.
It's actually funny, during the tournament they did start a rumor that I was autistic.
And I was like, oh, this autistic kid, one day the man was like, hey, hold on, I thought
it was funny.
But no, I'm not autistic anyway.
But he starts that rumor.
But the only way of rationalizing that Marquis had won was the possibility of him being a
savant, someone who had become a yugio-genius overnight.
Some would accuse him of cheating, saying that the only plausible explanation was sleight
of hand or rigging up the game and not talent.
After all, he had completely shaken up the expectations of what should have won.
In their eyes...
Oh, I gotta pause, I think my game's gonna be done.
So y'all saying I can log in now and like get in queue before I finish the video?
Let's see...
Well my audio just sort of broke. Holy shit, hang on.
Jeez.
Okay.
Okay, log in.
How many people are allowed in the game?
Like, at a time.
I'd imagine more than 8,000, right?
So, like, being, yeah, just everyone just goes right in, probably.
I think a 20 second queue? Okay, chill. Well, I'm all tapped, so... actually...
I just closed the game by hitting my escape key. I was trying to hit escape so I could
make the game windowed mode so I can like do other stuff easier.
Ah!
Okay.
Cogwheel, full screen. We're going windowed.
Keep changes.
Log in.
Okay, okay.
And then I'm gonna mute it.
Okay, muted it. Back to my video.
It's only a pro player should have been able to win, and using a deck that costs thousands
of dollars.
A lot of players online would complain about Marquis getting extremely lucky, almost uncharacteristically.
One commenter would say, just gonna throw this out there, but the two feature matches
they put up, his opponent had pretty bad hands, and he had outs to everything.
Dude has Yu-Gi level luck.
He would frequently win the dice roll and go first, which was the crucial way of winning
with a trap deck that could set up an army of defensive options before the opponent got
a chance to play.
They explored every possible angle to discredit Marquis' victory, but at the same time, others
would defend him.
Excited that a rogue strategy had won the event, piloted by a new player who had put
the rich and the mighty in their place, showing everyone that Yu-Gi-Oh wasn't just about activating
the credit card.
I think way more people were just like, hey, listen, this is a cool deck, getting an expect to win, this is a nice thing that happened.
So, honestly, it was way more positive than negative.
People came up after it was like, oh, I really want to play this deck, I think this deck is cool.
Ironically, after his victory, many players even adapted and would begin playing the TG Stun Deck.
If a 16-year-old kid who had never entered a championship could win with an incomplete build,
then the deck had certainly outperformed in some capacity.
This was short-lived, however, as the deck was almost immediately hit on the ban list,
with both TG Stryker and Reborn Tengu, two of the deck's main monsters, being restricted.
Though not necessarily due to the TG Stun deck,
for both of these cards were also abused in other decks around the same time, catching it in the crossfire.
Uh, but yeah, that was like, really, my first big event.
The Star's Align, that's all right. The Star's Align, I tried to play well, but it was a lot of Yu-Gi-Oh going on.
A lot of Yu-Gi-Oh moments.
But that was the only YCS I ever entered, and I ended up winning.
At the end of the day, it seems that all the stars would align for Marquista to win the championship on that fateful weekend.
A combination of fortune, his opponents being unprepared, and the power of skill drain were all factors that played into this.
But regardless, his skill was what mattered the most.
No matter how lucky you get, you still have to be extremely good at the game to win a championship of 1400 players.
But all of this would come together perfectly to allow him to achieve the greatest monumental feat in competitive Yu-Gi-Oh! history.
Nevertheless, this would seemingly be the most fortuitous weekend for Marquis Henderson,
as he would never again perform at a major Yu-Gi-Oh! tournament.
To this day, actually, I was the only YCS I ever entered.
If I was the only YCS I ever entered, I ended up winning.
Instead retiring from play and starting his own trading card-bending booth in Atlanta,
at the popular card show, Charlie's Collectible Show.
I ended up just vending mostly just Yu-Gi-Oh!
But it just became more and more.
Well, I have a booth in Charlie's Collectible Show,
both in the Atlanta and the Houston locations.
I can't say enough about Transfabricio. They're insane. The owner's done a lot for me.
Maybe 60 or 70 card vendors, anime, sports, video games.
With a booth called Trading Cards LLC, so if you're in the Atlanta or Houston area,
definitely go check out the show. Who knows? You might even see the legend in person.
And what happened to the prize Blood Mephist you might ask?
So, because I was 16, I was kind of broke. When I realized that card was actually worth money,
I sold it on eBay. Somebody told me it was $1,000. I'm like, I'll just list it for $600.
Someone had bought it that day. And I was like, somebody got a good deal. There you go.
Hopefully somebody still hasn't taken care of that, but I still have the trophy of course.
Regardless, his accomplishment would forever be...
That ruined my whole day.
That actually just ruined...
All of it. I was so happy this college kid was about to get like, $10,000.
Maybe he is fucking autistic or something. Like, what is happening?
How do you...
How do you not get told by someone there, the value?
It's a $20,000 card.
It's the first grand prize fucking winning, $16,000, but how did nobody tell him?
Yeah, I'm actually certain it's won.
It's one of the greatest miracles in Yu-Gi-Oh history, with the community recognizing that
Marquis had overcome every possible adversity to embrace the heart of the cards and achieve
the impossible.
This is 2012, now it's 20k dummy.
So it was 20k today, it was 1k at the time, oh.
Really?
It's gone up times 20?
Yeah.
Okay, thank you Christy.
How do I make it, oh, okay, here you go, nice.
Okay, that was my sister.
And then Volp sent me like five things to watch.
Okay, well I've seen this.
The kid has like really good burn.
The first one is the creepy, creepy sound of the common loon.
Oh, yeah.
There we go.
Woo!
Oh, look at that.
There we go.
All right.
I'm going to do two species of crab.
American crab or a fish crab?
Prepare it.
In America, this one's black.
Ah! Ah!
Ah! Ah! Ah!
And then, a fish friend.
Just let this kid's crazy.
Then he's done the river.
That's not funny.
And then the Indian people.
Look at his basket on his side.
This is what a company's got like. So many more to go through.
That's a great ball. A little hot.
I don't know what a ball you could sound like, but you can ride too.
This is what I think the Reds got a hot sound.
And this is what a sound like.
BANG!
Hey!
I don't think it's cool round here.
BOOING!
How did you do it?
I don't know.
It's good.
This, this is the one.
It's good.
BOOING!
Why are we shaking?
What has happened?
Is this normal?
Johnny Morris' favorite, San Diego Prane.
But this is part of it.
Johnny Morris' favorite, San Diego Prane.
Oh.
Here is the chance game in the break of one hour.
pretty fucking saw it now I've seen that I get sick and then you linked something
what is this
it'll load I was gonna play nine kings but here I am struggling to look at this
is not what you were top five black mask pranks
Where's this going?
I accidentally scared a group of females.
Stupid.
All right, buddy, you ready?
You can run free, but you know the boundaries, okay?
I'll call you when it's time to come back.
Go, go, go play.
All right, so when I bring him to the park, I can set up a virtual fence, pretty much.
So I'll add a fence.
And then when he approaches the boundary asset, it will alert him.
And then when he hits the boundary asset, it will call me so that I can keep my dog safe
all the time.
It's still fucked.
Nice.
Your dog should be on a leash out in public.
There he goes.
Alright buddy, it's time to come back.
I have a family member who's like, deathly scared of dogs.
Come on back buddy.
You've gone too far.
We're deathly afraid.
Here you come.
So if a dog is running around on a leash or off a leash, they're horrified.
Right?
And it's like 99% of the time you're fine, but like they have an irrational fear of
dogs.
There you go.
Let's keep your dog leached.
Good boy.
Welcome back.
I miss you.
Maybe this could be used like on some private property in some way, but this looks like
it's public either way.
My opinion.
What is Scrandle.com?
The fuck is this? Scrandle 2, the thrilling daily game of food comparison. New feature for supporters this month, league tables.
The fuck is this?
For sure, if it's not my dog, it's always scary. I don't know why you're talking about this. Click daily.
The fuck?
What do I do here?
You check food and price. You pick on pick which one is more popular. You pick the food
you think everyone else think looks better. Okay, so basically everyone's playing this
game and you're picking the one that you think has the most votes. There's no way people
aren't going left. Oh, the price also, I didn't even look at that. Oh. Are these not the same
thing? It's a fucking MRE. US government property commercial resale is unlawful. Mexican style
rice and bean bowl or a chicken burrito bowl. Oh, yeah, I guess the title is what you should
look at, because both of them could be described as slop. Not even kidding. Can you even, honestly,
the left looks like everything is a little more, like I can tell there's corn in here.
I guess I can kind of tell there's corn right there, maybe, but like, I'm going left, okay?
I'm in line with everyone.
MREs are fine when you are out in the field, okay?
Smoked Almond's or Jalapeno cash use?
Honestly, left. I'm gonna go Jalapeno. Nice. People have taste. I like that. What the
fuck? Well, one's not even in English. What is that a fucking brick? What is this from
like Snowpiercer? What is this thing?
Or a caffeinated apple pie? I mean, that doesn't look good either.
In a tube?
Oh, this has to be a food challenge.
Honestly, I'd probably, oh, man, gross.
I'm gonna go with the caffeinated meal ready to suck nice
Dude what is this
Why is all of this shit?
MREs am I in the MRE section or is the daily challenge MREs? I think it actually is
Okay
Beef taco filling
There's beef in this or white chicken chunks. Oh. This, this, this actually is like, neutral,
Dead serious not even trying to be funny dog food versus cat food
That's how this looks
I mean, I'll probably go dog food here, okay, all right
Is this the cursed starburst that I've heard about?
Through the ages, the forbidden candy.
Freeze dried strawberry.
Actually, that's probably good.
Or sausage, gravy, and biscuit.
Honestly, freeze dried strawberries?
Nice.
Take that.
Pizza slice, cheese, yuck, that is criminal, so is this, but I'm still going to go right.
Maybe it's some shitty chicken noodle, I don't know.
Oh, honey mustard onion pretzels?
Fuck, I love honey mustard pretzels, they're so good.
good, but how do they hold up in an MRE?
Probably not as well as the fruit energy bar, but I'm still going to go left.
Nice. Let me take that.
That's not fair. One side has a bowl. That is an unfair advantage.
Elbow macaroni in tomato sauce or chili and macaroni.
I mean, I prefer having meat.
TBH.
I'm gonna go right, but I know it's about to lose. Oh my god, it won.
Okay.
White bread or cheese and veggie omelet?
What am I even looking at on the right?
Where's the
Where's the egg
Like it looks like there's something here and it has skin and it's peeling off like this looks
Like the special effects from the alien movie in 1986
That's what I think they're going for here I'm going left. Yeah, okay
It's crazy.
Oh, of course.
The cigarettes.
Classic.
I don't know what the fuck I should be putting here.
I feel like I've heard Camel gets praised.
Okay.
I've never heard of the right C ration.
All right, tonight it's in.
I won. Did I win? Fuck yeah. Do an old one. Practice. Left. Ooh I didn't see that sandwich
people are still going right. Wait, that, how do, wait, what the fuck 140% are we, how
does that even make sense? Huh? Oh, now the price is involved. It includes with a beer.
Ew, gross, yuck. Chicken, curry and chips. I mean, it's a left angle. It's even cheaper.
What are these percentages?
What's happening?
Okay.
A cheesy bacon hot dog or a corn dog with a mega pint.
I mean, I don't give a fuck about the beer, but it's cheaper and it has a drink.
People are going to pick the right one.
Oh my God.
I lose again.
is so much better looking, but...
People are gonna, poor people are gonna be upset
and pick the right one, yeah, okay.
So they're not wrong, that's $24, it's crazy.
I mean, people are gonna pick that one, it's two pounds.
Like I prefer the left one, but it doesn't have a beer. Okay. Thank God
Thank you for the gifted subs anonymous gifter. Wow, thanks dizzy night holding green appreciate it
Okay, $8 and 50 no price data, okay, just go right side. I don't know what the fuck that is
I mean damn we're looking at sports food here, huh ice cream sandwich
Okay, we're trolling though with that bread
Like I'll pay the money for the left one it's fine
20 pounds
I mean, I'm honestly left right doesn't even see. Okay, seven out of 10, man. I guess I'm just disconnected as soon as money's involved. I'm out of touch.
Hmm.
Left.
What?
Really?
That's crazy.
Check DMs.
That's crazy. Check DMs. Do yesterday's Scrandle by the way. It's not Emory. Click history
on the main page and select a different date. Okay. Select history. So we're on the 29th.
So we go here.
Okay, so this is yesterday's.
$5 bacon cheeseburger or this pizza dog.
I'll be honest, this looks like really good.
Like this dough came straight out
of one of those like crazy fucking ovens.
This looks legit as fuck.
Thank God people understand and have taste.
I
Stone oven, yep
Duck loaded fries or a fucking savapi rule. I don't the fuck that is
I'll try some duck loaded fries. Okay people have taste a little more expensive. It's worth it duck. You don't get ducked that often
This looks like shit on both sides Cobb with chips and a sausage or a pepperoni pizza fries
I
Know to both TBH
Like how are you gonna fucking put fries in bread
Just feel like it's I guess it's potatoes. I don't know it's weird
It's just to hold this is some UK shit. Okay, that's what this is
Fuck I guess I go left right looks like a gamble with my life. Oh, I lose
oh god oh god oh god this isn't even funny what the fuck is that I'm gonna go
left yeah no like they're both awful but that just looked like cursed the fuck
Okay, swarm bomb Sunday cost $13 or 13 pounds or sausage bread in a pickle.
This is Polish typical Polish people in their fucking pickles.
Left looks better. I'm just it honestly this is like are you poor or not?
That's really what's gonna determine what people hit here. I feel like or
I'm gonna go right. Let's just see what happens. I lost people for $13 for that really
Double bacon cheeseburger for 10 pounds. I mean, it's not even showing the fucking burger
We're just looking at the fries with come on it or
Chicken and halloumi Slovakie. I mean left looks so much better. Okay
That's syrup. That's not syrup. Pie and mash with gravy. What is this glistening coming
from? It's the gravy, but that's... alright, it's a lot. It's literally inside of a lake
Right now, left side looks a little dry.
Could use some sauce or something.
Let me go left.
Okay.
Fish, mushy peas and tartar sauce.
Yuck.
Or pulled pork barbecue.
Sam, I'm going right.
Yeah.
I don't know that green drink was, but I look refreshing.
So, the cheese has clearly hardened.
I don't know if there's any meat here.
I feel like this is where you just get bites of skin and that's it.
Are you dumb?
You tell me.
I don't know.
This looks iffy.
meat on it maybe like you can find some bites but I feel like I'd be working
hard then again looks better than this they're both shit
oh I actually love chimichurri steak but that's basically steak with your
chimichurri. Wow. What's going on? I mean, right just looks basic. Sausage and bread.
I'll fuck. Really? Really? The right looked like poverty. Dude, sausage and sauce? I'm
all for it. That's fine. Choose the sausage, bread and a turd. Okay. The mustard looked
questionable. Did it? Let's do history. Let's go to my birthday. February 15th, man, level
Okay, I
Would go with the left one nice it looks gross, but that's a bad angle
I'm going left. I'm just gonna fucking go instant on a whim. What is my first gut response, right?
Right I lose
Left
I'm not even looking at price anymore.
These both look awful, left.
That's a tough one.
These are both looking pretty fucking good.

You're right
Well, I was gonna play nine Kings until the league goes live

Okay. And so he came over and approached me.
Somebody just called to complain that you were cleaning up the yard, I'm assuming?

here have you noticed the background image yes I have Briar last one it was not Briar
Karma. It was. Alright, well I'm still in Q. Waiting on this shit game to launch. Uggghhh.
So nine kings until then. I can do a couple runs. I got 30 minutes, if even that. What
What build are you doing?
I could also look at, I don't know what I'm doing.
Actually, I don't even know what's new in the game.
I didn't get to play nearly as much as I wanted to before.
Look at the Ascendancies.
Honestly, maybe I should not play and I should look.
How would I do that?
Don't copy Quinn, I will not.
I'll see if I can make my own shit.
PUE to build planner.
Max roll, path of exile to planner.
Oh, here we go.
I don't know anything.
Oh, fuck.
Okay, let's just look at like spec.
Okay.
well first things first
do i want to play druid or do i want to play monk and play the new ascendancy
a oracle shaman druid didn't really get much
martial artist seems fucking awesome month i gotta try it
there's gonna be so many months
yeah i mean it's the new fucking ascendancy isn't it
Casual making a bill for the first time 28 minutes before League start.
Hey, I'm here.
Try play the new Huntress ascendancy.
Spirit Walker.
Huh.
Let's kind of just see what's going on with it.
Tame bosses, spirit beasts, ew, I don't want to do a summon build.
What other new ascendancies are there?
That's it.
Okay, so that and martial artists.
I mean, are there any other like items?
Can I look at the new Uniques anywhere?
scrolling through maybe I kind of want to build off of a unique you know find out
what my foundation is the PoE2 channel is there no other just website where I
can scroll through PoE2 DB PoE
okay what
It's down. Okay, so it doesn't work right now.
God fucking damn it. This works too. Okay, checking.
My man.
Let's see. Return of ancient launch blah blah blah.
Ascendancy classes blah blah blah. Where would the items be?
Offhand weapons?
Equally could be...
Okay, Unix.
Training unique items.
How hard is it to get Unix?
Like, let's say I wanted to do some type of fist weapon monk, right?
And there's this fist weapon I have to get.
I have to get it or I cannot play the build, right?
Can you force get it?
It depends on the unique.
If SSF, it's very hard.
Should I play SSF?
Is that what everyone's doing?
I'm totally down, but I remember when I played before,
you're all saying don't do it.
People like trading.
No, you won't have fun. Are you playing with a? No, I don't think so.
I mean, we might group up at some point. I guess if.
PoE vet here. Don't do SSF first time.
SSF is kind of dumb in PoE too. Is it?
SSF is boring, it's way more enjoyable being able to trade with friends.
Okay, then I will do SSF.
Watch the Crip video about SSF, okay?
Crip, SSF, PUE 2.
Oh, three days ago. 30 minutes! I don't have time for this!
Hey guys, how's it going? Preparing in here. Today...
Oh, I missed that intro.
Holy fuck this guy. Where have you been?
I had a promised video for you guys, we're gonna talk about Solo Self-Hound. Why would you even bother playing it?
And it's a pretty interesting topic, it is one that I think people will have their own personal view of, and I will give you guys my personal view of it.
I think you play video games however you wish, however results in you having the most fun.
I am not one to judge, but for me, the idea of Solo Self-Hound in Action RPGs has really revolutionized my appeal, my love for this type of game,
game, and I kind of want to preach about it in a way because I kind of went through that conversion,
and I think a lot of people haven't yet because they haven't really understood the advantages.
So let's talk about them. Let's talk about the differences of playing just a normal PoE2 League,
or whatever RPG versus solo cell found. And today I'll go over that and also give you guys a few tips
if you do want to play solo cell found in the upcoming PoE2 League, or whatever, really.
So ultimately it kind of came down to I'm really good at trading in video games.
You guys might know from videos well over a decade ago how I was making crazy amounts of gold
in World of Warcraft. It was not just a World of Warcraft thing. You know, I've learned to realize
and realize how a lot of game systems and their marketplaces work.
And yeah, it's pretty easy to exploit.
Some of the richest players in Path of Exile, Path of Exile 1 especially,
they don't even really play the game.
They just trade items or they offer mirror services
and that really results in the highest accumulation of wealth.
It is an extreme case, but it does offer an understanding of how it works for most people.
Because most people, yes, they still go and play the game,
but they also spend a lot of time looking at what items are available,
you know, for sale online, what kind of items they can sell, the prices.
They're basically playing a part of the game that isn't so much gameplay
as it is kind of like playing markets.
and you know for someone like me i've played so many games and you know even
by our markets i know a few things
it's at a point where it is a bit same that experience i get from from doing it
in pedo excel 2 is hardly different doing in any game
so in the gist he's basically saying
that he knows how to manipulate the market and make money in the game
that actually equates to him not even playing the game
so he doesn't like that
i understand i actually get what he's saying
but i don't think i'm in that situation
that's one point there's more
that i've played in the past and that is a big a big problem for me it also is a
big problem at that uh...
how should i say this
it's a bit of problem again because i'll do because there's a huge focus on the
new season or delete
you look at a lot of work that there's kind of like the old quarters of gold
so because there's people that just have hordes of gold in playing for a long
time
any kind of activity that you do kind of like siphons off of them so it doesn't
have so much like cutthroat you know rat race type of situation as kind of
exile does because anything you do generates gold because there's just like gold line
around. Now when there is a new seasonal reset in Path of Exile 2, it's certainly exciting,
it's exciting to play, and trust me, it's plenty exciting to play even if you don't
engage with the markets, it just is exciting to play because there's lots of new stuff
to do and experience. But because there is this economy reset, the entire game, if you
wish to play optimally, becomes one enormous rat race because this happens every single
league. There becomes activities that you do that are crazy profitable and having really
strong characters really early and getting into that often before it's nerfed results
in incredible amount of wealth gain. So this results in a few things. The first is there
is an incredible pressure on playing a very overpowered build.
I see this as a downside because you often don't get to tailor what you actually want
to play.
Like, if you are a minion enjoyer, for example, and minions do not seem to be very good next
season, and by the way, they don't, well, you know, you are going to shoot yourself
in foot if you try to play a type of build that you like, because you're going to have
to play the really OP stuff if you want to be, you know, kind of top tier if you really
want to play optimally.
Man, I didn't think gold was so important in, like, Path of Exile or anything.
I thought gold was whatever.
Am I crazy it is I thought like the important thing was like these
Again, I'm so new and I know it. I have no idea what I've never even beaten ac3
But it's see that I thought it was like the orbs and the other currency
It's currency not gold so he's talking about currency you're such a boomer
is also a huge pressure on profitable farming. Now this might be a bit of an
alien concept to those that haven't played solo cell phone but for now let's
just leave it with the example that we had in a previous. I don't need to hear
that. I'm just not gonna do solo cell phone. I'm sold or convinced that it's
not for me yet and that's fine. Because what if I get something that Viki wants?
I want to be able to give it to her. I don't want to get free stuff from viewers
So I just won't take stuff from viewers. But yeah
So do SSF
Then I would never be able to give something to Vicky
Now if she does SSF, I'll do she's doing SSF though. Oh
Hmm
Okay, then maybe I'll just do fucking SSF
Never mind
All right, well stat priority equipment, I don't dude it's either monk or druid I think
Everyone's gonna fucking play martial artists, but it looks kind of fucking cool
It do be looking cool as fuck go druid it's so fun I
I don't like shape-shifting in this game. I'm really not much of a fan. I feel maybe I'm
crazy. Well, I don't think I'm crazy, but I like shape-shifting when you're like shifting
in and out and using lots of different forms. In this, you're basically just playing werewolf
spec or you're playing bear spec and you are a bear you are aware wolf that's it
I don't care about that not a big fan that's why I played plangered you can
though you can mix what the fuck can you I have not seen anything like that like
I'm not gonna try and play the best build in the game but I do want to play
optimally and it didn't seem like it was really a thing.
People in chat there's a way to do duo in SSF. Is there a way to duo SSF?
How do you do that? No. Private League?
Okay.
Private League cost money.
Private League, but you shouldn't fuck with that, huh?
But if you do that, people won't type based.
Yeah, I don't care.
But no one can join in your League unless you invite.
Well, I just wanna be able to trade with Vicky.
Like if I find something, or if she finds something that we can give each other.
Why don't you just not play SSF?
Just not play SSF.
If she plays SSF, so be it.
She can always just check out of that if she needs to.
Okay, let's look at Monk.
Let's see.
Skill speed.
Surely everyone starts here, right?
Critical damage bonus
Increased attack damage surely goes straight down
8% attack and cast speed plus 5 decks and int, okay?
Skill speed critical hit chance
What is your base critical hit again?
So no, it's not 10% critical chance. It's like 10% of your base. What is your base?
It depends on weapon oh shit you're right fist weapons
Is it martial artist just this weapon?
Great is like him okay, so I don't give a fuck about that skill speed probably is the best
Chance to shock. Okay, okay, skill speed.
And then we end up here.
That is what it doesn't matter.
25% attack damage, 5% chance to daze on hit. Accuracy.
Did I just close it? Oh, thank God, I thought I closed it.
Let me fullscreen this fucker.
Man, I feel like if I was a path like freak, I have this whole thing memorized.
Right? I have no idea what's going on in here.
Search. Well, I also didn't know what spells are in the game, and what does my ascendancy do?
4% attack speed when you gain combo, gain an additional combo, minus 0.2 seconds to current energy shield recharge delay per combo expended when using skills.
Evasion skills can build up and retain combo regardless of weapon set.
How does combo work?
Do you just gain a combo every hit?
If you hit, plus one combo, okay.
Increase AoE, grants the skill hollow focus?
Dude, what is hollow focus?
Yeah, fuck.
and link the video.
Hollow Resonance.
Speaking Combo.
Gloves you equip have their base type transformed to Fist of Stone when equipped.
And their explicit modifiers are transformed into more powerful related modifiers.
Ignore attribute requirements to equip gloves.
I remember seeing in the videos like all gloves have a very unique stat stack, stat, set specifically
for this ascendancy, right?
So you'd probably want to get that.
of the mountain 100% surpassing chance per enemy power to gain mountains teaching on
a mobilizing enemy up to a maximum of 30 lose a mountain's teaching when you are hit or
when you use a sustain and attack that benefits from mountain's teachings.
Caspid, if you've used a Maniflask recently.
32% increased spell damage while wielding a melee weapon.
I don't think I want to go like an elemental damage pop.
15% damage is extra cold damage.
That's a bunch of huntress bullshit.
So wait, how does this work? When a new class gets introduced to PoE, what happens? Do they
just like shift everything around in this circle? Because like they have to put a new class like
here, right?
They got to scoot everyone over.
No, they share a start.
OK.
There are two classes per starting selection, plus each
class has three ascendancies, I see.
Oh, nope, I don't want that.
Power charges?
Are they frenzy charges?
I gotta follow a guy.
Search holo-pom.
Okay.
This?
No way.
That can't be it.
Hollow Palm. Here we go.
An attack as though using a quarter staff while both your hand slots are empty.
Unarmed attacks that would use an equipped quarter staff damage have base unarmed physical damage replaced with damage based on their skill level.
1% more attack speed per 75 item evasion on equipped armor items.
plus 0.1% to critical hit chance per 10 item energy shield on equipped armor items.
Huh, higher level skill gem equals more damage.
I mean, that seems like the most important thing is to get this.
If you're doing an unarmed martial artist build.
I assume every single PoE2 streamer and their fucking mother is playing this.
That almost makes me not want to play it.
A lot are playing Spirit Walker.
Really?
It's Twister and Ice Shot.
okay so they're like optimizing and maxing
basically when you get sixteen points you respect into that
now it seems like it
you contain bosses as spirit walker
interesting
well i'm not gonna play that
uh... i guess i'll play fucking the fissure
so
for now i'd w key hollow palm technique
which then allows me to be a fissure
uh...
creased on build up twenty and i guess i go to here
p u e
to
fist monk
bell shatter martial artist
110 favorites. So who are these people? Like how do I know which build here is overall the best?
Or made from someone trustworthy?
Is just knowing the name
You're all saying Jungrone is the goat. Jung
Roan, but he only has 112 favorites. Why does this one have 1.7 thousand?
Why are all you guys
Jung is 50-50 bait or goat
Jungrone is not a new player friendly build. Okay, so this is like deep your artist
Okay
Let's just see this why is there only four fucking spells
1 through 5, 6 through 12, level 13 you get holopom, level 22, my god this motherfucker
is just pivoting builds the whole way through whirling slash rain swap there's no items
Yeah, cuz you don't know what the fuck you're gonna have
I say keep fucking going back to this bullshit. Can I go back here?
Oh my god, Jesus
So what are these spells, Charged Staff, Mantra of Destruction, build combo by successfully
striking enemies and other skills, ever reaching max combo, use this skill to empower your
next quarter staff attack, causing it to deal additional chaos damage.
On the right of a build, you can download it so it gets loaded into the game.
Mmmmm.
Bully's Marshall Breaker.
Isn't this a risk of rain too, guy?
Interesting.
A lot of people do in Frost.
Fucking mall? Shape-shipped into a bear and rake enemies with your claws?
So is this guy just playing Druid?
And entangle?
What?
Contagion? Wait, he's actually just leveling his plant Druid.
Is it actually a thing?
Monkstart is really shit, it's meta.
I mean, dude, I remember Contagion was busted when I was leveling it's insanely fast
Druid auto attack mall generates rage
Maybe check YouTube Zizarin Zizarin don't we only have we have like four minutes
The build we always wanted, Spark Totem Caster.
Hi, this is Ren here with a build guide collab with Steel Mage, and this is actually a totem
build for Shaman, but it is later going to become an oracle, a lot of it will pass.
One of the strongest and safest league starters for the new season.
Comet Oracle, my preliminary starter build for 0.5, what is this guy playing now?
AW for minion with things like picking these nodes and just a porch and cougar from now
and I think the money is really fun, I don't necessarily know if it's going to be the best
thing ever, but...
Okay, he's playing a zookeeper, got it.
plant druid launch new ascendancy looks incredibly cool but did he make a build
alright fuck this now I'm just gonna follow a build here I'm okay with being
shit too it seems like a lot of these builds are for speedrunning past the
first couple of acts I don't care about speedrunning it you're not in the path
category am I not the fuck oh my god I'm fucking not
this is a mature rated game that may not be suitable some viewers oh my gosh
No way
Have you looked at Max role builds no I haven't I'm new to this
This looks pretty regular
Maxroll, PoE2 Guides. Is it the same people? Helmbreaker. I don't recognize any- Havoc.
interesting so is there like guide website pvp these guys get paid
interesting
it's time it fucking is isn't it oh it's dropping down look at that okay I'm
I'm gonna go pee right now.
Hopefully I'll figure it out.
Beach, mouse, beach, beach, mouse.

Alright, create. So I'm doing solo cell found. Might change it, we'll see, but for now we'll
do this. I can always change it after. Monk? Do I play Monk? Oh god, I actually don't know.
I'm going to do it. The Piss Fister?
But I get reported for this.
I don't know.
Hold on, let me go full screen.
Keep changes.

Nope, it's already taken.

Coming through
Big checkpoint
I don't know what's better DPS. I feel like my left click is
In for a leave it
Ow.
Okay.
Okay, it's got to be skill speed every build's gonna be grabbing that
crossbow spear 46% increased physical damage grants the skill spear
Okay, here's where I have no fucking idea what I'm doing.
I know this doesn't really matter, because I'll get a bunch of level 1 skill gems, but
like should I do the OP like Druid build that's just stronger and then pivot later?
Or should I just play Monk and just accept that I'm weak as fuck at the beginning?
I think I just played Monk, and I just be weak as fuck at the beginning.
If you're only weak until level 14, it's not bad. Exactly. It's not a big deal.
To be truly told, I'll just fucking- I'll just do my own shit. Like, it's not a big deal.
This isn't hard. Uh...
Skill Gym.
Killing Palm.
Supercores outwards releasing icy fizzle which shows damage in a series, frozen lotus, lead
baggots and crack through under your staff to come forth an ice crystal which can be
damaged by enemies.
I'm pretty sure frozen whatever the fuck this is important.
Well I'm fucking broke as shit.
Okay. Alright, travel through Clearfell to the Grelwood. We're going east. Monk is

gloves. Ooh energy shield no way. Ooh a belt no way. Alright that's done and now I
need to find... I don't think I want the grill wood. I want to find the mud burrow
first. Maybe I should go get that checkpoint though.
Dude, in your friends list is casting Reg X spells. I don't know what that means.
Abandoned Stash. Nice. Uncut Skill Gym. We take that.
Actually, just auto-attack.
Big waypoint. Mud borough?
Okay, now I gotta find that big mud boss. The Devourer.

Okay, big tattered rope.
No way.
Wow, so good.

Okay.
Go ahead, go under.
Or don't.

Not really.
Okay, quest completed, let's go back to town.
Turn in some quests.
Take a support gem, excellent.
All right, uncut skill gem one. Frozen Cascade I guess, I don't know.

There's fucking nothing up here
Top left, there's nothing there
It's just my cam like fuck I'll move
You have to turn that on, it's off by default.
Okay so options, UI, who would that be, game?
Oh fuck I have an item filter on too, I didn't even realize.
I think this is for Druid. I need to change this to Monk.
It's probably under game. I mean, I'm looking.
Okay. Where the input? Where would that be? UI?
Hmm, put it in Documents POE2 builds.
You have to download a file and put the folder to activate it.
Really?
Okay.
Uh.
Uh, it's falling this Alk, Alkalizer or something.
Does this eventually go to like, this is not what I think it is.
Is this, this is Marshall Artist.
Orange button top. Well, no, I'm still looking at my build. Is it do I even want to follow
this? That's what I'm looking at right now. Okay, he does take hollow palm technique.
Okay, I feel like he didn't for a second. Increase energy shield. How about making your
Yeah, maybe if I knew the game better, I would, but I don't.
Alright, this looks good, so how do I download this then?
Track build.

Okay, now there's a button in the top left, build planner, monk leveling.
Oh, interesting.
All right, and then now I need to get a
Monk leveling like item filter. Does this have one?
Or I guess I gotta make one
But isn't it gonna be weird because I want to actually collect all gloves
You don't need filters as early
You don't need filters until late game. Alright, so I just won't do a filter then. Options.
Uh, game. None. Safe.
Okay.
Oops, sorry, I just scored.

when I was playing before and it was really, really fucking laggy.
Okay, uncut skill gem.
Where does it tell me what to get?
I guess we just upgrade Glacial Cascade and then Support Gems.
I see.
Cold Attunement.
Okay, engrave.
Alright, simple enough.
Then I go to the stash.
Then we go back to Una.
Buy a bunch of those.
See if these give movement.
They don't.
Fuck it. Sell it for now.
All right.
Now I'm fucked.
Oh no, the map saved. Good.
To the grail wood.
Sort of move your cam to the right spot now,
next to Potser skills.
A lot of demands coming in.
I'm gonna try Boralus.
Maybe it's fixed all of a sudden.
Okay, one can hope.
I've never known much about that.
What the fuck?
I've never known much about that.
But I'm like ranged now, okay?
Fuck the Grim Tangle.
Don't care about that.
Oh, another rune thingy.
This is better than mine, I'll take that.
That's not...
Okay, that's white.
Okay, can I do this yet, or...?
How do I do the extra cold damage?
Oh
So monsters gain extra cold a cold rune
I guess a lesser racial I don't I don't know
The way I take this is I'm basically just picking what I want as a reward.
Okay.
Thanks to the 5 gifted subs, Shadow and 2 gifted my last day and Michael and Hollowed
Sons and I don't know what name.
This gifted subs is a lot of good players.
For Monk, play really safe leveling build if you want to go late.
I'm not doing hardcore if I die, who gives a fuck, right?
Okay, death number one.
Wow, that fucking one tapped me.
I feel like these little frostbones aren't even worth hitting.
I'm also doing zero cold buildup, which makes no sense. Jeez!
trees
Hmm one thing I don't like is it doesn't really show the order at which I do things
Like I guess I just w key to holo pop technique
Oh, hello.
So hold on. Does frozen locust not blow up from frozen cascade? It does, right?
Leave bass creating a chilling damageable ice crystal. So there it is and then I cascaded it. It looked like it blew up
Felt like I was hitting it during that boss and it wasn't happening
On the tip, yeah, maybe I wasn't hitting on the tip red veil. Yes, actually, I think I want to go red veil
Generations of senses
God, imagine if I had a contagion, everything here just dies instantly.
You still can I fucking should
Here we go there's one I need two more of these
I'm stuck
Fuckin' shield.
Oh god!
Oh, lag, the fuck?
What do you think of the ending of 007, Last Light?
It was crazy.
I just died.
Bandit guy.
The old ways still hold something up.
Ooh a blue long quarterstaff when he did that.
My weapon is fucking Omega bad right now.
Give me this shit.
16% increased melee strike range with this weapon? Yeah.
And plus 1 to 8 lightning? Yes.
Love that for me.
But doesn't cold-embeutement reduce, like, fire and lightning damage as a support gem?
So it kind of fucks me.
Augment it.
I could. Uncut skill gem 2. We'll go ahead and upgrade this.
What are these things?
Okay
of
right now cannot be shocked or chilled all damage can shock
Hang on. Yeah, I really, I don't know what I'm supposed to take in these rooms. I'm not
good enough. Upgrades a normal item to a magic item or an orb of augmentation.
The augmentation.
A milkshake, milkshake is too thick to drink. What does it bring the boys?
To the yard.
Ow, fucking hell, I don't think it matters- ooh, gloves!
Also probably doesn't matter. Plus one to three fire damage to attacks. We take that, which it was cold.
Ow, the fuck?
This guy's blasting the shit out of me.
God, we're in explosion.
A malicious prison sling is here.
Okay, put this ugly ass helmet on, sure.
We'll take staff
Wow
Let's get frostbomb
What do I even want to bind frostbomb to
Eight
armor plus 15 to maximum runic ward. I don't know how that works. Throw that away. Throw
this away. Am I playing a frost mage? Yes. Get iron rings ASAP. You're right. I'm a physical
damage made now right? I do be wanting those. I know they're gonna be fucking
pricey too.
Alright boss time.
Sir, can you stay like range five? I'm just gonna melee you
Excellent.
Ooh, it's a big node.
Alright, 8% attack speed and all that jazz.
Getting there.
Level 3 skill gem.
I'm obviously spamming frozen locusts or cascades, so we upgrade that first.
i don't even know what the fuck
what do i even get next do i care
contagion just to have a dot
is that crazy?
Contagion, I guess.
Thor on 7, sure.
Just dash it, you don't need it? Yeah, I mean I will at the end.
Perfectly if I search the region for more runestones, the Rune Seeker. But I'm done, aren't I?
Pretty sure I'm done.
Yeah, I'm leaving, going home.
Keymines on 7, 8, and 9 is mental.
Well, I have really long fingers.
have we been spiel? who knows what prize is away by then. not surprised. here he is,
I would have. till next time. friendly spiel. these are just some odds and ends of mine.
Exalted orb, okay, let's identify this damn
So if I use this spear, am I just fucked out of spells?
But can I use frozen cascade and everything still or no
So a lot of spells require a certain weapon
Use it on two loadout for auto attacking.
That's crazy.
But I'm an optimizer.
How do I make things auto-go to the stash?
Okay, assigned stash?
Oh, I gotta turn that on, I see.
Okay, well, now it just works.
Where's the rune page?
I swear there's a rune page or something.
Oh here it is.
Uh... room.
Rename this to... shit.
Alright, quest item, we got nails.
So now I go back to... waypoint.
The grailwood. Did I not get the fucking waypoint?
Am I fucking dumb?
Oh, no.
I don't think I did.
Yikers.
Luckily, I can checkpoint to here.
Go through Grailwood.
Now I gotta find a tree.
There's the Grim Tangle.
Nope.
Not sure where it's gonna be.
In middle?
Is it?
Oh my god.
Hello.
Hold on.
No, it's got to be up here.
Oh, I suddenly do this too.
Jeez, wait, she's getting melted, what the fuck?
She's got massacred.
Damn.
This is just better.
love that for me and then another support gem it's got to be a cascade
concentrate area support skills are in effect causing that area to be smaller
but any area damage be higher
for the skills lose combo if they generate no combo for second sports
We're damaged require three combo to use
Okay, munk guy wants me to get concentrated area. I was gonna say no way I take that yet
So it's better single target my aoe is horrible
It's got to be a contingent contagion angle. That's the only way aoe
What the fuck is this tree?
what was that blue glowing one? not sure.
That's the checkpoint.
Oh, here we are. God, it took me five years to find this.
Okay.
Don't import builds it's it crashes the game okay I'll keep that in mind
Okay, Dr. Renly.
Now I gotta go to Ogham Village.
I'll turn to the entrance of the Grim Tangle, okay?
Pretty sure I go through here, right?
On Cam Village is after this?
It's after the cemetery?
Okay.
Pretty sure this goes to the cemetery after.
I just didn't want to heal, did I?
So, I'm not used to my heal being bound to one.
I'm still used to Diablo where it's bound to Q.
I could change it, but I feel like binding it to one is fine.
I should get used to that.
Okay, for Regal Orb, I feel like those are fun.
You can put some support gems on normal attack as well, okay? Thank you gamer
Pull your fuck
skill gem level 3, uh, frozen locused, skill gem level 3, uh, frozen locused, skill gem
Skill gem to I do I don't think there's anything I give a shit about anymore
Killing palm just for the mobility jet that should enemy killing palm
Frostbomb already have frostbomb and contagion
Hello boss man.
Holy fuck!
That's got blasted!
Okay, boss done.
Jesus Christ, bye bro.
And I love that for me.
Shit.
But uh, right, we're W Keying to Holodpom, which is here.
So my best method of getting there is to grab 3% skill speed.
of
Where the fuck am I?
Where's the goddamn exit?
Well, love a dead end.
Hmm.
Yeah, it's gotta be top right, uh-oh.
Nice.
What the fuck?
What is this?
This is new?
Rune stones, yeah, but bigger.
Okay.
You just want me to find more?
New League mechanic?
I mean clearly, but I still don't know how it works.
Does anyone know how it works or is that a secret?
These runes change everything.
No one knows?
so they didn't talk about that
this is all new
i love that
that's true
they did it was in the reveal
okay so
Uh-oh, I'm dead.
Lag?
Oh, an iron ring! Yes!
HUGE!
Maybe I can use my shit upgrades normal item to a magic.
I could make that ring sick. And I got a necklace? When the fuck did that happen?
And a support gem?
Frostbomb, I guess? Magnified area?
The squirted skills has increased more effect duration.
Why do they take that?
Let me read this.
Create a pulsing orb of frost, which for the element of...
Let's frost bomb.
Okay, what about...
Frozen locus.
Cold achievement.
That makes sense.
identify this cold resist neck yuck boring gross ugly have they added
swords. I guess they haven't. I'm not a big PoE2 guy, but I do find it insane that out
of all the weapons that they haven't added yet, it's swords. Am I crazy to think that's
Looks like the most default, like, fantasy-driven weapon.
Gonna be some badass swords.
Stabs are best, they will make it giga though with time spent making it? No, I'm sure.
But I just find it interesting that it's like when they have their priority list of what they want to do first, right?
Swords have still not made it to the top of that.
I'm confused oh wait quarter-step tricks with all your salsa weapon I see
So this is if I'm just meleeing, I should do this.
That's actually really good, damn.
Quarter staff.
Identify.
Adds 3 to 5 physical damage.
Better than the lightning, I think.
it's higher yeah we take that
I can augment and regal some stuff like my iron ring, but I just don't care to you
yet. I'm surprised I haven't found a single cemetery. Oh, Tomb of the Consul was south
I did find one. I'm done.
Let's go.
No skins? Nope. I'm a free to play player right now.
So let's see, I've got a white iron ring, where is it?
I need upgrades in normal item to a magic item with a random modifier.
Bang.
Ew.
Didn't want to get 12 mana.
I went to magic item with a new random modifier.
Bang.
Ew.
Mana regen.
Didn't like that.
that. How many times can I do this? Once, okay. Upgrades of magic got him too rare. Dexterity,
I mean I guess. Do I exalt it or this? I don't think I do. Alright, let's go. Or, how much
How much money do I have? 900 gold.
Maybe I check some vendors?
What you selling, huh?
Trash.
Pharaohs?
Random rune. Okay, you see.
Save regal for items that have two good stats that you want already. Yeah, that sounds good.
I'll use the regal orb if it like actually had something good on it, but you're right. I have a lot of those.
So who the fuck sells rings?
Do I have to gamble in order to get a random ring?
Watch yourself out there.
Oona from time to time? Okay, so Oona just doesn't have one.
Got it. Let's move on then.
Wait, these guys fucked me on my plant bill.
Oh wait now I destroy them. Oh they get fucked by me. We love this
They're having a terrible time
I'm gonna take the first one.
I'm gonna take the second one.
I don't know what I'd do without contagion I feel like it's actually like the
a worry of my damn for sure.
I'm already here. Alright.
If only you could see numbers. True.
I feel like you can hit G but it's like, about the same.
Already?
A quarter staff?
For me?
Holy shit, it's some type of plant thing.
What the hell?
I don't think I saw like a legendary till level 20 last time
Dude what is up with thorns?
Why is thorns constantly existing and trying to make me do it the bloodthorn wrapped quarterstaff?
I mean, I'll still take it look at that fucking physical damage on it 15 to 29
Okay, it's like plus three
It's actually not that great
Causes bleeding on hit hold on maybe that's big
How does bleeding work ailment that deals physical damage over time last five seconds by default damage bleeding pass bypasses energy shield
Bleeding deals the next armors and damage while the target is moving or if the bleed
Okay, so it's one of those you take damage when you move kind of bleed things
Physical damage from hits contributes to bleeding magnitude damage does not contribute to bleeding chance so it cannot be inflicted without
The base magnitude of bleeding is physical damage per second, equal to 15% of the pre-mitigation physical damage of the hit that inflicted it.
Okay, so pre-mitigation. So before armor comes in. So if I hit them for 100, the bleed will do 15 damage.
Or if I do hit for a hundred, it'll do 15 damage. So even if they have like 50% armor and I only hit for 50, it'll still do 15.
This magnitude is no fur- not further than my modifiers for the damage you deal.
Modifiers and debuffs that affect the enemy's ability to mitigate damage. It's a shot, can affect the damage.
Alright, I mean cool, awesome, I'll fucking take it.
Ooh, yellow armor with thorns, by the way.
I mean, what the fuck.
I should just put a shield on and just stand there.
Upgrade that.
How do you upgrade?
Like, would I be able to level this staff up?
I don't think I can.
Like, I'm pretty sure this legendary is replaced as soon as I get a weapon with higher base
damn right not much you can really do about it
what are we going anything take your fancy do you
no you can upgrade it later new mechanic I think does you need some kind of
orb okay so there's a new thing in point five that allows you to upgrade
legendaries. So I shouldn't get rid of this staff. I should keep it.
Cool. Alright. Your SSF, keep all your uniques. Yeah. Mausoleum.
Damn, you can see that bleeding happening.
But, oh my god.
Two Exalted Orbs, three Regal, upgrades a magic item to a rare.
rare item. Interesting. Three Regal Orbs sounds pretty good. What is a lesser
jeweler's orb? Sets a skill gem to have... Okay, I can get three support gems
already. I mean I need to start taking these.
you got drops maybe I'm dead by the way holy fuck
Oh my god my I'm so fucking slow
Yeah, what is this? I just got knocked down. I'm dead
I don't even know how I got knocked down there. I was what the fuck
That makes sense
So do I lose the loot? Let's find out. I don't know.
Root is still here. But can I try again?
I can. Alright, we go again.
Oh, fuck off!
I can't move.
I'm out of heals.
Am I even hurting this guy?
Okay, I'm blasting him for a second.
Passive dam.
Oh!
The dick dude shut the fuck up if it's thorns I kill myself
Grants a skill ray shield intimidate enemies on block for eight seconds plus 13 strength the wolf's been painted tower shield
armor 33 26 and block chance I guess I just keep it put it in offhand I mean for what
Uh, looks like the spear is not a one-hander.
Huh.
Am I crazy?
Oh, it's because it requires 11 strength and I can't equip it.
The only reason I can equip it is because I get the strength from this staff that puts
me in the threshold.
I see.
Or maybe, actually wait, maybe this...
Okay, no, it does work because this also gives strength.
I think I still want that there, I'm not even going to be using this, so I don't know if
if I give a fuck.
Alright, uh, Lesser Jewelers Orb.
Do I want to use...
What do I use a Jewelers Orb on?
Does my guide tell me anything?
I don't think you can see this from here.
Supports attacks, causing them to deal more damage from farther away.
There might be a priority.
Frozen Locusts.
Elemental Armament.
Ice Bite too.
have support gem level two skills so I think I just get just go here throw this
on
Glacial Cascade and then I need to support Jim so we'll wait till I get that.
At this point, I'm just looking for the boss.
So far, how are you liking it compared to Diablo?
Uh, I don't really have a strong opinion.
I do think Diablo gives you dopamine way faster.
I also do prefer having damage numbers. I absolutely hate that you don't. I've talked about it on
stream and I was met with a lot of disagreements when I said that. Okay, well this is why there's
There's no damage numbers in POE too.
POE endgame is when it hits.
Okay, well I'm not there yet.
Never been there, so...
Ask me when I get to the endgame of POE too, what I think. I'm just not there yet.
Where the fuck is this boss? Bottom left, maybe?
Or south?
It's gonna be down here.
I hate how I can't roll through stuff sometimes, but then sometimes I can.
It feels so inconsistent.
Ooh, big man.
Regal Orb, Talisman, yada yada.
Okay, support gem 2.
Maybe Rapid Attacks is actually better
for Frozen Locusts, so I can start off for
Cascade.
Yeah, the guy doesn't even know what the fuck to tell me to get here.
Long shot.
Yeah, long shot too is not for a while.
He had level three uncut gem.
Now I'll let the arm mint, nope.
The guide creator is already in Act 3. I'm sure they are.
Good for them.
Yeah, I think I was gonna go fucking...
Not combo finisher.
Where's rapid, whatever? Just attack speed, right?
Where the fuck is it? Hello? That's why. Okay. Where is the boss? I've done a full fucking
clear almost it's got to be like here I have to go all the way around
Oh wait, no this works.
Here it is.
Oh, no, this is something else, Forgotten Riches, and they're like a lever here.
Switch.
Big one here, Legendary.
A Nettle Talisman, Cringe.
I have another support gem, frozen locus, elemental armament, it tells me I should just get cold
achievement but I already have that so
fuck it just has all these support gems that are okay okay armament
Boss? What? Wait. What? It's got to be in the middle of the map? I thought it was always on like the corners.
I didn't know it even could be right there I didn't even know that was okay I'm done
That's crazy, I've fulcred the entire map.
I'm blasting.
Let the Ezermites bury here, finally no peace.
Level 10 can't wear it, you got gloves, trash, no boots, stone charm, cannot be stunned.
Uh, sure, we'll throw that on.
I feel like there might be something over here, I don't know why.
I did do it let's go gamer
I must make them beg!
This fucker can one-shot me.
Jesus.
Oh my god, okay.
Just as I can, please.
Okay, we got some boots.
We identify those.
No movement. Yikes. Skeptor, shitty helmet, shitty everything. Don't care.
Okay, we go home.
Hello.
Okay, this guy comes alive now.
Okay, upgrade it all. Hello. Talk, talk, accept. Wow. Stash. Let's dump. Bang, bang,
Bang, bang.
Now travel to Aukheim Village, Clear Fell.
Ghost Cemetery.
Hunting grounds.
Viggie said, I don't know why people said
we aren't flying together.
She said you're right here.
to the village why is that on your back that's crazy good one oh there's no
hunting guy here anymore really the little fairy that you chase you know
Oh, there's a rune stone here.
P-p-p-ow.
Uh-oh.
Ow.
I'm getting fuckin' owned out here, man!
God!
What creature is capable of such violence?
I actually do want to do Freythorn.
I sense the surreal presence.
So I'm looking for three rituals on this map.
It sucks as like all my damage has to be like this very specific range that I
I can't really accomplish very easily.
Like on this guy, I can do it.
No problem.
He's gotta be at that tip.
This is A's dealing with it.
Luzuli ring? That's not what I want.
I need iron rings.
I also leveled.
Uhhh...
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight more level ups.
And then I'm gaming.
Okay, I found the final place.
That's where I go after I get all three rituals done.
Crap, what is this?
Ugh.
Oh
One down, couldn't be.
Two more.
Oh, this is the rune thing.
Alright, here we go.
I can get an uncut support gem.
That's a bonus reward.
Improve the quality of a martial weapon.
Two blacksmith wetstones.
I don't know how good those are.
Lesser, robust rune.
I guess wetstones?
Are these good?
They seem good.
It's more damn, alright.
And a support gem level 1.
Okay frozen locus is maxed out, glacial cascades kind of maxed out.
bomb I guess prolonged duration on it sure for bosses
the
Level 4?
Like new spell maybe?
Hold on.
Really it wants me to just level this shit up?
When do I get new spells?
I guess I get herald of ice soon.
He wants me to take pounce?
And take freezing mark.
Pounce is level 4, incorrect weapon type.
So I need to have a talisman on my offhand.
I see.
So maybe I'll save that? No, I'll probably find...
I'll take the frozen glacial cascade for now.
Glacial cascade?
I'll find one, surely.
Okay, uno más.
Also leveled.
That's crazy.
I'm not even getting Concussive Attack.
I guess I could respec later, but... whatever.
Chloe means you can press F.
I'm aware.
I just don't care too.
I don't really have any power charge spinners or nothing.
Okay, I'm probably dead here.
You beat James Bond? I did, I loved it. So good.
Close your ending. I didn't sleep with any women, and so I got the gay ending. Who knew?
All right, boss time.
Yeah, James Bond went low.
People on Fox News were fucking upset.
couldn't believe that James Bond had the ability to be gay. 2026 man. Can't believe it. Also
The drill is crazy. It's true.
Who the fuck's the boss? Hello?
There he is.
They know my elemental bomb. He walked out of it.
I don't really get how to deal with this cage.
I'm pumping.
I
Fuck
So the coaches
Sure
Harold of ice love this for me bang and shutter they shall okay I'm done let's go
home
I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it, but cheers.
See you.
Oh, put that away.
Okay, are you selling anything?
Ooh.
Is this a ring worth buying?
I feel like it is.
1 to 4 physical damage to attacks and 10% increased rarity.
That's not bad. Take a thousand, it's not a big deal. I just need that for the leap. The leap is literally just mobility.
It's half your gold. But don't you think that's worth?
Rarity is additive? Additive. Fuck. I hate when we start bringing up additive and multiplicative.
what does that mean if you have a base 10% rarity found that's your base does
this add 1% or would this add 10%
it adds so this would turn into 20% then I mean that's fine I bought it let's go
And then let's go to my shit
Okay, you can't add an extra modifier do I want to turn this into a rare fuck yeah, I do life regen whatever
Okay, now we go hunting grounds and we're looking for...
There's a boss on this map I need to kill.
And I need to find Ogham Farmlands.
Those are my two things to find.
Oh, Ogham Village is that way, got it.
I need to find that boss first.
Oh, this guy's yellow.
Massive damage, jeez.
I think this is where the boss is. That might be the arena down there. Yes, this is the arena.
He flees to this location.
He's up here.
What happens when these guys break my frostmines?
Are we already fleeing?
they were already out of here what
now
of
his getting bled
Create strange pieces indeed.
That looks new.
Plus 10 int. Ooh, plus 9% rarity. Wait.
I'm fucking rarity build.
Can 8% rarity on boots?
9% on helm?
10% on ring?
Ooh, plus two weapon- oh fuck yeah.
Gets me closer to my actual build here.
Jool socket. I don't know how that works. My goal is here.
Can attack as though using a quarter staff while both your hand slots are empty.
So you don't have a weapon. And then unarmed attacks basically...
Basically that's how it becomes unarmed. Is that node?
I'll have another one. What am I doing?
None of that matters.
You are the weapon.
Alright, well that's everything here.
Unless I want to find the runes.
Uh, should I look for the runes?
Like do the seasonal bullshit or no?
Oh, I found that one.
of
the
death
of
death
of
death
of
death
of
death
of
death
of
I'm confused, she said go on then, so...
Where's the little fairy that I follow?
Brick, did I break it?
Yeah, it's a dead end.
Ooh, hello, big runes.
Jewel socket.
How the fuck does that work?
I don't have any jewels do I so I'm just can't do shit there I guess
search the region for more runestones okay you put jewels in there thank you I
didn't know that where do you get jewels from
drops enemies ground whoa who the fuck is this okay you're a little miniboss
It's very tanky, my goodness.
So this does 16 to 26 base damage.
2% increased critical chance.
I mean it's level 11.
My staff is like level fucking what, 1?
That's kind of just how it goes. You could transmute it.
You mean like...
Yeah I could add to it, but do I care?
I don't think I use this still. I think my legendary is still better
Fairly, but I think it is
Another yellow
Got him. Farm lands.
Press the skill tab and see the DPS on your skill so you can compare.
I mean I see it. Like DPS 46.
I understand, I get that.
Wow, spear throat is 80.
My quarter staff does 88.
The problem is, there's a lot of unique things.
For example, what's the DPS if I'm actually hitting
the right point on my right click here?
Where would I see that?
have final burst oh here we go so this is doing 138 dps assuming I'm landing the
actual point of damage
I should have identified first, whoops.
Did I just sell boots?
Is there a buyback?
Oh, buyback.
Ah, that sucks.
Get rid of him.
Adds 1 to 10 lightning damage.
Wow.
Fortunately I'm not doing lightning damage.
Support gem, uh, Herald of Ice?
Cold Attunement. Okay.
Equip that. That's crazy. Equip what?
Maybe you should read your new skills, Mr. Poppin.
Uh, well, Mr.
Ithlonix. I'm fully aware of all my skills right now.
Adds one to ten. Oh, the one to ten damage ring?
Well, I have two iron rings that add one to four physical damage.
I feel like that's better considering all of my attacks are physical, and I have cold
attunement on everything, and cold attunement reduces damage of all lightning.
Am I correct?
Any path freaks?
Or my misunderstanding.
Damage equals damage.
Yeah, but it's reduced.
Oh, hello.
for these.
He said the last one. What does that mean?
Wow.
What? That's what it's like. The Grailwood calls me home once more.
Back to the Grailwood?
I wish I visited this town.
You can tell it's that way because of the way it is. True. So I should probably go do that, huh?
find out what the fuck this is okay summoning this guy look at the inscriptions of the
Oh fuck.
Okay, lost catacombs, I'm in.
Alright.
So once we do explore, I'm just gonna fucking pull clear I guess.
Okay, this doesn't seem that big, I guess there's, we'll see how far this path over
here goes, let's get that dead end.
Okay, it's very linear.
Oh, extremely linear.
I got him actually at a point where I'm still kind of just auto attacking.
Runic Vault.
Dead end.
Alright.
Well.
Click it.
It's Cam Locus.
No, because there are a lot of times suck in melee and I can't get them off, so it's better just to left click.
of
We'll throw that on instead of this bullshit and then spirit gem. Let's get pounce and
Honestly
I can't I use this now requires 13 strength oh so I don't have enough strength I see
All right, well, that's a nerd.
What is this place?
Doesn't look as am I.
You're down to turn off.
And this liquid one is that?
It's a...
Well, no, I got yellows in here and stuff.

time.
What's up, human?
Hello.
Take a pun.
No, I'll take it off you right now.
See you.
Okay.
Hello.
She ain't so bad.
I'm sorry.
She ain't selling nothing.
Oh, Priest Armor, wow.
Another ring with rarity on it.
Huh.
Let's see what I can make with that liquid verisium.
You can do something quite powerful with this outfit.
A sort of rune forging.
Let's give it a try, eh?
Okay, reforges any non-unique armor to grant Runic Ward.
Runic Ward is a last line of protection absorbing fatal damage instead of your life
If you take damage that would cause your life to reach zero while you have runic ward
You will drop to one life and your runic ward will take the remaining damage
You will still die if you do not have enough runic ward to absorb the remaining damage runic ward does not protect against life loss
It is not caused by damage
Runic Ward constantly regenerates at a default rate of 5% per second
a non unique armor okay let's just I don't want to fucking do it on this
I'm a how much Varricium am I getting here fuck it let's just do it maybe it's a
quest I have to runic ward at 29 interesting
Where the hell does my runic ward go, huh?
Where do I put this fucking resource?
Let's go in there, that's nice.
Uh, Gems.
Hmm, look at your health bar.
I see it.
Pretty cool.
But where does Virisium go?
Or do I need to fucking swipe in the store for a new goddamn fucking tab?
God damn it.
If he wants to swipe so badly?
I've already swiped.
Dang, look at this guy's weapon.
Jesus, this guy's a swiper.
He's got the stars, kit, and everything.
He swiped even more.
No, I've swiped more than him.
I have that outfit, and I have that glow.
I don't know about the weapon, though.
But I've got that plus change.
I bet he's got nothing left.

Put the back attachment on.
Ah, we'll see if I even like it.
I don't like back attachments, man.
I think they're just too fucking much.
I'll take this. This is kinda cool.
The Elite Blood Reaver back attachment, it's so like minor, it's there.
Keep gambling so you get the bird when to go ahead.
Of course, babe.
Like this is absurd.
That's crazy to me.
What the hell, did I see like...
So we just- Oh!

Kind of chains me to the ground. What the fuck?

Alright, either way, let me just make myself look pretty.
It's for your hideout.
I've never had a hideout.
I don't think I've ever gotten that far in the game.
I don't like that helmet very much.
Dude, maybe I just, I honestly think I'm gonna be a bird mane.
A fisting bird mane.
That is so cool.
I have no cool weapon skins.
Weapon effect.
I've never even seen this.
Go back in the game and look at it.
I guess yeah, in-game.
Oh!
This adds like a green hue to it.
This adds a runic like blue move around.
I think it's a green angle for sure if I'm going to be wearing this outfit.
Alright.
Amulet skin.
I think there's like ring skins I got to equip this, yes.
Okay, double ring skin so I can track stuff.
normal ass boots on.
Extras, portal, wisdom scroll, water gin, marble, user random, random variations, fuck
it.
See what we get every time.
See I could take this, but this again is too much.
I don't like that.
This is too much.
Even this to me is too much.
There's rising ash, was this?
Eh.
It's going to unequip it.
I don't need it.
Aspiration.
I don't have anything.
I don't know what this is.
Whatever.
I don't like pets in the game.
Footprints are too much.
We'll take a hip attachment, sure.
I don't know if that was even changing anything.
Social frame.
Supreme.
Wait, there's apparently a new quarterstaff skill bundle.
Vicky just linked me.
Ooh, new cursor, the fuck?
Uh, skill effects.
the Aurora Quarterstaff Skill Bundle.
Killing Palm.
Storm Wave.
Aurora Flicker Strike.
Tempest Bell.
Let me do this.
Let me look at my skills.
How do I do that?
Yes, skills.
I don't think there's anything for Cascade, empty.
Empty.
Am I looking at this correct?
There's just no skill art for...
Skill art for these things
Your board all board already, isn't he I am I hope that fits your narrative if it shows you're on the right you don't have to check oh
You're right
So there is one for killing palm there is one for pounce dodge roll effects hold on
Whoa
Oh, that's ridiculous what the fuck
Huh.
What the fuck?
Okay, that's weird.
So it's not just a dodge roll effect, it's also the sprint roll effect.
Okay, let's try this is new.
Why do I- is it gonna get really fucking annoying?
It has tears?
What do you mean by that?
Use the tears to choose between wild, vivid, primal.
You're right.
Wait, I can be pink.
Okay, primal.
Is that the one I was on?
Okay, that's blue.
Vivid?
Okay.
Sacred.
I don't like it.
I don't like any of them.
fuck it abyssal
alright well I'm ready let's get back to it
I gotta work to do
I don't know if I still need to clear this whole place.
I think I'm done, right?
Yeah, I think I'm done.
This is the, uh, rune bullshit that I think I already cleared, so I just leave.
What the fuck, gimme outta here.
Okie dokie.
So now I'm going back to...
cam farm lands.
Oh, hey, Luna's home. I need that loot box.
Ow.
I don't want to dodge roll effect, it's ugly.
Should I return the loot?
not yet.
Thanks Ninja on crack.
Appreciate it.
Don't fuck.
The meta cam spot is actually here?
Oh, am I being fucked with?
That's the meta cam spot?
Thank you gamer.
Oh shit!
Two more levels and I become an actual fist monk.
Ugh.
I'm gonna try to do this loot really quick.
Wait.
Oh shit, I got it!
Wait, I'm there.
Okay, you can attack as though using a quarter-centre while both your hand slots are empty.
Alright, so now I'm fucking playing the shit.
Now I can just take this weapon off, right?
I don't need a weapon anymore.
Check your DPS now.
True.
Let's see.
Wow.
So I went from 88 with the weapon on to 180.
Okay.
Love that.
Oh, maybe I'm playing the game now.
see. Okay now I need to like... where do I go now for X-Bois?
So boss here is there I don't remember there being a boss here maybe it's this crop circle
Or is that it?
Unkitski.
Level 4 skill gem.
Are there fist skins?
You would think they're just quarter staff skins, right?
So now I need to get, uh, I think gloves.
Fuck, I can't roll.
I'm looking at stuff.
What? I thought my gloves get crazy once I have that talent.
Oh, that's ascendancy, isn't it?
I see.
Okay.
I got him combined on accident.
Ooh, big man.
Okay, I gotta find the fucker's tools and then I gotta find the boss.
And I'd like to find the runes here too, but... whatever.
What the hell?
Oh, spitting tools, I found them.
Jesus.
Oh
You found the girls at every time take a look
That'll be useful
If you find a fun
It's good to see you
No iron rings being sold, sad.
Bye.
Ooh, and here's the rune, okay.
So I can get an uncut spirit gem, I don't care about that DUI because I already have
Herald of Ice.
Orbs of Augmentation, Transmutation, Normal Item to Magic.
I think I want Orbs of Augmentation.
What a build is this?
13 builds.
Phyrojens are hard to get, aren't they, but I don't- what the fuck's happening in my health?
Use a random modifier and augment a rare item with a new guaranteed modifier.
Rings it guarantees to give maximum runic ward.
Amulet increased- okay so it's runic bullshit.
Interesting.
So I guess the higher the runic ward the more like the bigger the cheat death health pool
is or something.
Carol device is turned off by the way.
Okay, oh you got me.
I
Where are you
I don't know if I'm going the right way.
Is it a no kill run?
What are you doing?
Yeah.
Just not killing anything.
I got it keep coming
Are they spawning in?
Hello, you're free.
Her husband's dead, but you're free
So it told me what do I take now
quarterstaff at this point, like...
another somethings impounce it once we take
new patch, you should re-log
okay
yeah, the guy doesn't tell me fucking anything at this point
maybe I should click act 2?
frozen locust and glacial cascade, first two gems, preferably I have both before you do anything
Elemental Armament 1.
I don't think I can get that though.
Well, I can. Oh, what the fuck?
Huh. I guess I should be taking that over rapid attacks.
Oh no, this is level 2 uncut gem required. Ugh.
Uh, an herald of ice?
Magnified area.
Okay, we'll take the magnified area.
That's a damn Jesus.
God dang.
Oh, what the hell.
His e skill blows up like crazy.
Ow, my health is gone.
Alright, now I think it's at a point where I sort of start free-balling.
Oh, I don't even have a jewel socket.
What do I go for next?
I mean, I want damage.
40% increased attack damage while on full life, and 60% increased attack damage while on low life.
Maybe killer instinct?
That seems solid.
What does this build do?
Not that, actually.
It goes for 30% increased area or attack area damage.
I should be careful.
Interesting, he also grabs this.
Okay, start grabbing this. Concussive attack.
Someone linked to Quinn clip.
I wouldn't be surprised as well if you've got people as well.
Like for example, we saw a study bubble playing the game.
He was playing like full build guys, most powerful build in the game type shit.
So I wouldn't be surprised to see people, uh, you know, doing that with respect, you know, with respect, fair enough.
If you need a crutch, you need a crutch, you need another day.
This motherfucker's been playing the game for, like, 30 years!
What kind of fucking ego-
fucking dry motherfu- you s- motherfucker.
He also copied someone else's build, by the way.
That's crazy!
How do I turn a fucking guide off how do I turn it off?
P
Turn this off. None ridiculous from here. It's fine
No guide god fucking help me no clue what's going on
Free ball
Oh, and I get a thing that you care, like
And I should keep that.
Drop this, grab the tower shield, and then killing gem 4 for skill gem.
Tempest Bell.
Build combo by just striking enemies with other skills.
After reaching maximum combo, use this skill to the belt to grow to massive size as you
drop it on the ground. You should do a shameless title and include drops in it. It's two subs
for a pet. Is that why I'm getting a ton of subs? Oh! I didn't know there was fucking
drops we had to sub for it I guess it's typical you change my title sure I
really didn't know oh my god everyone's playing POE to even Lyric the fuck
Shroud, Quinn, Azmin, G, what?
Massive patch, everyone's on.
Crazy.
I don't know what I want here.
I'm not doing a guide, so I have no idea.
Badder enemies at range by generating a gust of wind as you swing.
These will be days in knockback based on how close they are to you.
Wind Blast Tempest Bell built combo by successfully striking
enemies with other skills after reaching max combo.
Use this skill to cause the bell on your staff to grow to massive size as you drop it on
the ground.
The bell damages enemies on impact and can be hit by your spells, creating a damaging
shockwave. Elemental ailments applied to the bell cause the shockwave to deal extra damage.
Of course, one in type. Requires four combos to use.
How do I earn combo points? Is it just killing POM?
time
to add extra damage of that element. Tempest Bell must be ch-
Okay, we'll take that, sure.
Uh, Tempest Bell, let's replace...
Honestly, fuck Contagion. Get out of here.
Support Gym...
Probably want magnified area for that.
Where is it?
Where's Tempest Bell?
What the...
I couldn't scroll...
Okay, Tempest Bell.
Okay, so I need five more intelligence before I can put Magnified Area on that thing.
Interesting.
Hmm
Unsocky Contagion? I don't think Contagion had shit on it.
Okay, this guy's yellow.
Gray claws. Ow, my health is gone.
Wait, so I'm not earning combo points by right-clicking.
I only earn combo points by left-clicking.
Huh.
What the fuck will I ever earn a bell then?
Okay.
It doesn't even feel like it's worth using it.
Mm-mm-mm-mm.
What's going on here?
God fuck.
What the hell is this thing?
that's some sort of electricity okay
that's insurance I've never seen that
Okay, skill gem level 5. Ooh, ice strike. Form a fast icy strike using this attack 3 times
in quick succession. Wait, this could earn combo points. Right? So I don't have to do
Do the shitty fuckin' melee trash anymore?
Oh, that's huge.
So I put I-Strike on.
Uhhh, but where...
Is it my inventory?
Probably take Contagion to fuck out, honestly.
Excellent.
Okay.
Ah, definitely I'm gonna want cold attunement, so maybe I should grab that now.
Fucking neat intelligence, gosh dang it.
uh... i could just go respectfully but let's do that
change that to n change that to n
surely that's enough
and then i go here
we go to ice strike we add cold attunement bang
No support gems, unfortunately, contain it in.
After Essence of Electricity.
Great
Trash
Okay, everything here is trash we sell it all
The fuck is what is going on? Who are you? Oh, she's the bitch I saved. That's right
Okay
But do I want now wave of frost flip backwards and send forth a freezing wave in front of you
him?
Geez, I'm really deep in the whole freeze bullshit.
I don't know if I want to stay this way either.
Hey, Tempest Flurry is for Shock Monk.
here and not know what I'm doing. I guess I'll upgrade Glacial Cascade. I use that a
a lot.
I gotta look for things.
Who number one on the POE community? Never listen to Quinn. Using a guide is what you should do.
No, I refuse
Our fuse blame Quinn
We're gonna put on icy strike hang on
You try this out.
Get the fuck away from me.
Where is Icy Strike?
Hold on, hold on.
Damn!
Attack three times to perform a powerful Icy Sweep that is sick.
Okay.
Damn!
What?
damn what the fuck wait I'm teleporting holy shit oh I'm gonna die
oh then I drop a fucking bell ah geez
Okay, nice life-lask. It's doing its best. Uncut spirit gem. So what, what do these do
again? Don't I already have herald of ice? Isn't that just it?
You can upgrade it.
You level them up.
So like, going from level 4, Herald device to level 5, but this doesn't even say what
level it is.
And I'll just grab it just to see what the fuck's going on here.
Got slowed there.
I'm forks
Okay, my damage seems to be horrible here.
Okay, let me see something.
So Glacial Cascade, the DPS, the Final Burst goes up to 458 DPS, okay, and can I move I-Strike
to like here?
Thank goodness.
I-Strike is doing 291.
So I guess it's better to right click if I can.
What the fuck?
I didn't even get a chance to play the game.
I'm- I'm back.
I'm not dead.
Okay, we'll try this again, another spirit gem.
I'm just fucking slow to shit.
Okay, level five, Herald of Ice, upgrade it.
Yeah, I think I need to unbind my fucking sprint at this point.
of
I know there's a boss on one of these floors that I need to kill, I don't think this is
him.
It's like in some library or something
The voice of the man I must face
Okay, two directions. Oh, here it is. Nice. This is the boss you're supposed to kill.
And now I can rush the boss.
As soon as I go in melee, I just die.
I actually cannot IC strike for my life.
You need tank items, clearly.
Okay.
What the fuck?
Let's go back.
This reminds me of an old, die-able Bonespear Necro I had.
Haha. Okay, never again.
You're feeling lucky.
Where's Identify?
Is that as unbeaky? I don't know.
Hello.
Plus 20 max life.
I think I just sell over the year.
Who knows? I'm not sure what I'm gonna do.
Good chance.
That's a lot of motherfuckers.
My E button just straight up one-shots anything that's not a boss so much damage
God.
Last time.
Oh, I don't know how I just lived there, I should be dead.
It consumed my how did I just get a portal?
You see it against me
Where has she taken the least I found messages
from the desert
The challenges you just got in-game milestone
as you wish.
We must make haste and let us return to Cleofel to make our preparatory.
Alright.
Okay.
Easy quest completion.
Bang.
Quest completion.
A lot of motherfuckers here.
Okay.
Okay easy quest completion bang quest completion a lot of motherfuckers here
Okay
Travel east how do I do that?
I'll just do that okay
This outpost seems to be part of treatment.
So these are the Marikath.
Life's...
You are seeking pipe.
Worth is measured by actions.
I must prove myself
Okay, search the region for more runestones find the hyonic raiders and destroy them
All right
Jesus Christ, what a fucking run.
They're leader.
Ow.
I really should just cascade everything is so dumb nothing else nothing's
really worth pressing I guess for mobility like I see track to me good maybe
it's missing a support gem maybe that's what's holding it back a little bit
No, I like rarity, fuck em.
Okay, I got increased attack damage.
Maybe I should start getting some fucking defensives.
level five skill gem um I guess Bell sure
so this is how it be stupid
I am a seller all right now I can go get my ascendancy right
the trail of corruption or maybe not yet I think I still have to do a bunch of
bullshit first investigate areas
Gotta kill Balbala. Balbala? Okay well I'm on my way. Just quarry some other bullshit
Then I think I get to pick my Ascension.
Grand Maniflasque.
Oh, that. Actually, wait. Yeah, we only have Grand, I think.
of
a greater life fast
of
I want that chest
Okay glacial rune at six to ten cold damage that's fun iron rune
Desert storm I
Don't know if I want to be doing cold damage by the end of the game
I feel like I want to go iron, but I feel like glacial right now considering I am doing cold damage, right?
He ain't got a weapon. Oh, yeah, I can't even put weapons on
That's crazy
Fuck.
So how do you build defensively in this game?
What do you do?
Just evasion?
I guess do you just pick one type of defensive and like omega stack it?
Life and resistances.
You get defenses from items and the tree. Well I'm at the tree am I not? For gear you get evasion and
HP and get percent increase on tree. Okay. So what don't what defensives do you build as a monk?
Or is it kind of whatever you want?
You don't pick one hollow palm scales from evasion and energy shield
Gain 1% more attack speed per 75 item evasion white was item evasion
Okay, so armor and life is really it well the thing is like if that's the case do I
just not fucking build def I just do damage right damage is all I care about for now.
I don't really stun
mana regen, cause of the evasion rating and cast speed
What does cast speed go towards?
I don't cast, do I?
huh 25 is an increased physical damage a lot of crit I don't care about that
I don't know what this does. Resonance.
Okay, attack.
Increase attack area damage.
That seems important, but are considered attacks.
I think that is good.
I think I want to get this.
You have no defenses.
I'm level 15.
I don't think that matters yet.
Where's your guide?
I quit.
Oh
I actually fucking hate this spell, this right click I'm using is miserable to play.
I just feel like I'm con- I need a fucking ruler on my monitor at all times to see when
when they're actually at the, you know, precise distance.
Pull out a fuckin' protractor.
They died cloning for escape.
This place is a-
Try Windblast.
I can't try- how would I try Windblast?
I feel like I need extra gems to do that.
I don't have any.
Why can't I hit this guy the fuck?
Is he not taking damage from the health?
You can swap it out just to try.
No I can't.
Don't I need to put a skill gem into it?
Okay, I actually can't.
And then again, I'm kind of aware that literally nothing here matters.
All of this is just bullshit that does not matter at all.
I don't know when the game starts like, mattering.
Probably after the campaign.
Uniques matter, okay.
Okay, that area is really nice.
I'm starting to like I strike
Whoa
Oh, it is done.
Alright.
Getting crafting mats early helps a lot late game, but not crazy important yet. Like you said, most things matter after the campaign.
I mean, I don't know that. I just figure.
So if there's something that's like, oh, that's good.
Save that for late game. I'm not gonna know.
I feel like again, they wouldn't really want to put that in an ARPG early game because then people are just too scared to use things
this bitch can one shot you
shut your mouth traitor
didn't think she had that reach in her but she does
Okay, uncut skill gem 6.
See y'all think wind blast would be better?
Stun build up, knocks back enemies.
Maybe I would like wind more than frost.
I feel like this does more stun, right?
Stun seems cool as fuck.
forward and slam the ground, sending out a shockwave. Nah, ice strike is better. Yeah,
it like who cares? How does this work? So this is to replace my right click essentially.
is I it's gonna be like frustratingly worse for a while because I don't have
any rooms you'll care it end game will I
combine it with wind blast to explode the stun
what
better enemies are ranged by generating you guess a winnage swing enemies will be
days and I'm back basing how close they are to you.
It actually seems annoying.
So this is like for ranged monk gameplay I feel like.
That ever
But am I done here or is there a boss I miss fuck I mean how to talk
Ooh, hold on, I did this, this.
Improve the quality of a wand, staff, or scepter.
Quality, okay, let's do quality of armor,
considering I'm not doing weapons, right?
I also leveled, increase area, or attack area damage.
Oh
How do I tell if I miss anything?
I think it's like maybe...
How do I check?
I need like a map or whatever?
You?
I think that's it, right? You check these. So there's nothing left. I'm done.
Say thank you. Thank you. Wow. So am I done?
Yes, think so? Okay.
You can also press ALT on a waypoint to see a list.
What you're saying?
Oh, you're right.
Okay.
The flow of trade is gone, but the gates remain?
Okay, it's weird.
29% increased evasion plus 15 max hp, gain 3 life per enemy hit with attacks.
pretty good fucking gloves. I think I like those.
Evasion, yep. What supporter package you buy? All of them.
Okay, what's she selling?
Cold Resist, Fire Resist, Trash, okay.
Nothing good on her.
Nothing there.
I mean, should I just gamble with 11k gold?
Or should I save my gold for something else?
like I don't know what it actually gets used for.
Save or peel it through, put it all in black.
Respecking, gamble if you have a really low level item.
So it is okay to gamble.
I mean I basically don't have a neck.
but i feel like that's expensive
who i gamble at
the hood and one
pharaoh
zarka who i gamble at
here we go
jewelry
Random amulet it is half of my money to gamble one fucking time
No way now that's stupid
It's worth it it's fucking not I did it I didn't do it I did it
It's horrible.
Okay, mine is 5k gold.
The next one will be good.
I'm sure it would be.
So we're here at a kill ball balla and there's a bell chest the ancient bell
chest chimes whispering echoes.
What the fuck is this thing?
Oh
It went down to one HP
Oh
Is this a running build?
What does other people do other than just skip everything by running by it?
This has to be how everyone plays.
There's no way.
Unless you're a hardcore.
Spare
Level 6.
Nah I think I stick with Ice Strike and stuff.
I actually did not like Wind Blast at all when I used it.
Ooh!
uh oh
For Bust Rune, plus 9 Strength Rune, add up through 9 Decks, 9 Int, 2 Artificer Orbs.
Adds an Augment Socket to a Martial Weapon, 1 Staff, or Armor.
I guess I'll take Artificer Orbs for the armor.
Is it so hard to level a monk at the start?
I don't know. Didn't seem that bad.
I don't know if hard is the right word I'd use, but slower than other stuff? Maybe?
What works of wonder?
I suck, so I suck more.
Oh, I'm fucking brand new.
Uh, where the fuck am I going next? I was doing something.
Some area of attack. Oh yeah, here we go.
They're appartments all along.
I'm gonna use my bell more often
Wait, this is this motherfucker. Oh god, I hate her.
And killing palm? I don't think I need to use killing palm. It seems like it doesn't
do shit.
okay my health is gone the fuck
Jade amulet nice lots of things here well identify the amulet 11
Dex I think I prefer the maximum energy shield I actually do skill gem level six upgrade the
bell. Where the fuck are my support gems? Like what the fuck? I still have no I'm done.
That's it. Do the rune league thingies. You have 20 ES my dude. Energy shield? I mean
Yeah, but like
Yeah, I'll take the max like
Hello.
Identify now.
My crazy that Thomas is better, right?
I think the game is too complicated for WoW players.
You're right, Kebab.
I should quit and kill myself.
Where is the Stash?
Completing this trial light is huge or something?
Okay, that's good.
I need that.
We got that.
Okay.
And now I can go do my Ascendancy.
Which is...is it Trader's Passage?
Or no, I think I gotta go here first and then maybe I can do it.
Find a way to open the gates.
Wait, what?
Am I in the right area?
I've been here before, so I don't think I am.
Okay, Desert Map.
Yeah, it has to be actually.
Alright, weird.
Traitor's Passage. Yeah, this is correct. I've just been here before, so I'm confused.
of
I'm afraid I'm gonna die.
Where the fuck am I going?
Hey, maybe over here?
Nope, dead end.
the
shut the fuck up
That looks like some type of roleplay shit, but I guess not.
Can I go farther up?
This is the final area. It has to be this way.
Lag. Weird.
There it is. Halani Gates.
Ask Elon for tips.
Good idea. I'll mess it up.
I wanted to like POE too, but man, POE 1 is better.
Why do people find PoE one better?
I actually have no idea.
Is it because it's done?
More stuff to do, so basically because it's finished.
It is better, but two is still good. Why is it better?
I'm asking for the reason, POE 1 is a lot, lot, lot faster than POE 2.
Faster in what way?
Like, your spells are faster, you get stronger faster, POE 1 has faster play style, and POE
2 is slower with less mob density, I see.
The POE-1 is like, you AOE a hundred mobs over and over and over again.
POE-2 is, you fight ten mobs and you have like a dodge and stuff like that.
And you teleport around.
I see.
P.O.E.2, they want combat to be meaningful rather than clicking or one-click solutions. They are somewhat succeeding.
Okay.
Man, I just don't want to sound like I'm insulting P.O.E.1 or whatever, but it sounds from what I gather
It's like P.O.E.1. You're teleporting around. You're one-shotting everyone with like one button
Your zip-zoop all over the place. You're getting like basically godhood levels
And they don't want that. They want their spacebar or your spacebar to mean something.
And people don't like that because it is a very different game.
Okay.
I understand.
It's gotta run past all this.
Actually, is this good, Ex-Pito?
It's not that great
Oh my god, my fucking ice strike is just dashing me in there, gotta be more careful, oh my god.
There's a room in Blacksworth, quality of martial weapon, I don't use weapons, I mean,
all these are. Man, not using weapons is really fucking annoying.
Holy fuck, I'm so tired of whatever that slow is, I don't understand why
I turn into a snail.
Where was I?
I'm not gonna do that.
Here it is.
Okay, we try again.
Whatever.
Don't care what you try again.
Maybe they just have like a slow aura or something?
Improves the quality of a skill gem.
Oh, yeah.
Fuck, I don't know what spells are in the game.
Will I get a lot of these?
I just don't want to waste them.
I don't even know what I'm going to be playing in the future.
They are rare, if you play enough.
I mean, I just don't know what I'm playing.
Just using our eye strike, okay
That feels like a commitment to like ice build I guess alright, what is the
5% attack speed on ice strike, okay
I'll kill you!
Nonsense!
He dashed out of my fucking frostbomb, rat fuck!
Yeah, my chicken hang on to make those boss
of
Ugh.
My going martial artist?
I am.
I
Okay
Whoa skill gem level seven
But what I can't even use it what the fuck
Choir is level 22. What level am I?
21 mother fucker
Of course Vicky. She's exactly where I'm at. I was just talking with her.
She said pretty much exactly where you are. So now I can go get my Ascension, right?
Yep, use the Desert Map to travel. Yep.
Minus Res? I don't know what that means.
of
the
of
the
Puppy?
You are free.
And you know it.
Get out of here.
As soon as I get food in here, huh?
Your gear give elemental resist.
Minus for us means enemies do more damage.
Okay, I understand that, but like,
why would I have negative?
Does that matter while I'm level 21?
Like why am I negative?
You get a rez debuff the more you advance.
Every act you lose more and more resistance to make it, gaining more resistance relevant.
I see.
Okay.
So what is like when you're done progging the game,
what's your base negative resistance at?
75?
Okay.
I
Assume yeah, you still want a max that I assume you try to so you need to get a hundred and fifty percent resist
to be
Endgame resist capped
We're actually don't know where I got the can you have more than 75
I mean I didn't ask that
yes there's also an overcap so you don't get screwed by the debuff
Alright, see if I can do this right.
Okay, I don't know where the fuck that told me to go.
Thank God.
She's Christ, these dogs.
Hey!
They're barging into my room fighting each other.
This camera zoomed in or something.
I feel like absolute crazy.
I don't know what I just talked about.
Maybe it's not. I don't know.
Silver key, very nice.
A large sacred water fountain, bronze key.
Afflicts you with spiked exit on entry. Take 19 physical damage on room completion. That's whatever.
I guess we'll just take, let's go mid.
Defeat all the rare monsters to fill the channels.
one
I got hit.
A great challenge overcome.
Ah, Shredder stores honor and grants you a boon.
Boons can be good.
I'd have to take a bronze key, afflict you with red smoke.
Room types are unknown on the trial map.
I don't think I can do that.
Let's go silver key.
Ah, fuck me.
How the- okay, I got hit.
What am I doing in here?
Lever?
Oop.
Okay.
Oop.
Bad fucking idiot
Oh god, oh god lever again
I don't think I cared about that you
Maybe I did
The fuck is happening
Restart. Can you go to town during this? No, I don't think you can.
Restores honor, awards a large sacred fountain, awards a pledge which can be accepted to change
the trials parameters.
Okay.
Shit.
Turn up to increase critical damage if you've gained a power charge recently.
I don't do power charges, do I?
I don't know what direction to go anymore.
Life recovery plus 10 int.
Days on hit.
I guess maybe I'll just go here, discipline training.
That's pretty close too.
Okay.
Ah, Jesus fuck dog.
Can I help you puppy?
Oh my god, hello.
He is just wild right now.
I think he just came back from the dog park.
He's a little wet.
Oh my gosh, did you go swimming?
Alright, get out of here. Cheat, get out of here.
Okay.
Wait, that's his quarterstaff.
I want that.
I should know I don't care about that.
I forgot I'm not using weapons anymore.
Ow, I've been hit.
I'm already kind of low on honor here.
And I remember this last boss is like, very melee fucky-wucky.
I'm melee. I just got hit at the end.
way I don't know where it is maybe that was it okay I'm good, hopefully
What?
Okay, I definitely missed that one.
And it had me path back I see
I don't know what I like.
You can just skip.
Why?
I mean, couldn't I just take this, take 64 physical damage on opening a key chest without
using a key. I don't know what that is. How is one not free? I mean I think because I
lose a bunch of honor and if your honor or something fills all the way up you lose. 192
is kind of a lot. Gain death toll. Three minor boons. After completing eight rooms so this
This one's free, because I'll never actually complete eight rooms.
Maybe three minor boons.
Okay, you have 25% more honor, 50% more sacred water found, and the next minor boon you gain
is converted into a random major boon.
Fuck.
I need to gain a minor boon.
I'm not going to get it though.
Escape trial contains a merchant.
Wards are trying to restore honor.
Affix you with dark pit.
Is this sacred fountain?
Let's go sacred fountain.
The merch has boons?
Oh.
Well.
Well, I can't get the Merchant anymore.
Unforged.
Can't loot that, really?
Okay.
of
The next 10 non-boss monsters you hit are killed instantly, gain honor, and increase honor
restored I guess losing affliction
assassin's blade will upgrade no would it I don't think this is a boon yes it
would okay so turn into a major and it'll just be completely random you have
no evasion. Okay, but did it not upgrade? It didn't upgrade. Huh. Well, luckily I one
shot the next 10 mobs. That'll be really valuable when, you know, someday. I don't know how
of not getting hit by this guy.
Crackling quarter staff 1 to 35 lightning damage and then 5 to 22.
What the fuck?
That's crazy.
Skill gem 6.
Glacial cascade I guess.
No, let's get Lucas.
I
Didn't get any gold glove stash imagine I did choose your sentencing martial artists send
get
there we go way of the stone fist
Okay, gloves you equip have their base type transformed into a fist of stone while equipped
and their explicit modifiers are transformed to more powerful related modifiers.
Ignore attribute requirements to equip gloves.
Okay.
Oh yeah, level 7 as well.
Hold on
What do I want here these are new spells freezing mark
Mark a target making them more susceptible to being frozen when the mark target is frozen the mark activates granting you a buff
Which gives you cold damage?
I don't know what I want play the video yeah freezing mark makes an enemy more
vulnerable to being frozen. If the enemy dies, they will explode with ice.
Use Wave of Frost to dodge backwards and launch a cold area attack that is very effective at
freezing enemies. Enemies who are close to being frozen will display this indicator and be instantly
frozen when hit by waves of frost.
Hmm.
The storm wave is a lightning area attack.
Yeah, it's just got to be a freezing mark angle, I think.
But can't you combine freezing mark, like, with the leap or something?
Burge Ruids
So now it's like freezing pounce
you can wind blast until the stone icon appears and then wing blast to burst it
wing blast fuck
I don't even have this on my fucking bar
Windblast can suck my nut sack.
Okay, let me see my gloves.
Plus 3 to evasion rating per player level.
Okay.
Plus 1 to maximum energy yield per player level.
Wow.
10% more global evasion and energy shield 5% less damage taken while on the life cover up some max life on kill
unmodifiable
Need more support gems, okay stash
25% increased freeze threshold and 7% increased damage plant skills.
I mean, I might as well put this in my talents, right?
I guess I can change that whenever I want. Alright. Sure.
Oops.
Converts your leftover sacred water into keys. I do this right? There's no reason not to
Oh shit, I got a golden key
Mmm
Warriors cash or helmet cash. I feel like I should do helmet
Considering warriors might be weapons shit. I don't use weapons, right? I
I don't know what's in a warrior's tash y'all tell me
Warrior might have gloves true does it does anyone here know I
Don't know either
Worthless
Again
it's all weapons literally all weapons
Well, I've got four silvers, I can just fucking hit this shit then I guess.
Eww.
So how would I take all of this back to home, identify it, and then sell it?
How would I do that?
I can't port out and come back, can I?
I guess put everything in my stash?
Well that's gross but you're probably right.
Okay, I don't care about the rest, GG's.
I put relics in the locker but I haven't identified them yet so I'll wait.
Maybe I should have sold first, shit.
I think that's it.
You can control click the shade to instantly identify all items
Interesting. Well, let's sell. You can order that.
I mean, I could gamble gloves.
They're probably not even that expensive.
Considering.
Where the fuck are you?
Who am I gamble at?
Re-suit maybe?
It is re-suit.
Okay, armor.
Uhhh.
So wait.
What do I want in club-wise?
Do you have movement speed on your boots?
I don't the armor ones you think I
Feel like evasion energy shield is better because of my passive right and my talents the
1% more attack speed per 75 item evasion on equipped armor items
And then plus critical a chance per 10 item energy on equipped armor items
It doesn't matter, it gets converted anyways.
So it doesn't matter what armor I buy, it says energy shield on these.
And then it says evasion on these, armor evasion, armor energy shield.
I would think I'd want to buy these.
Okay, I got yellow gloves.
Ooh, 9% attack speed, increased critical damage bonus, increased evasion, and energy shield.
When I equip it, it completely changes.
Oh my god.
What the fuck?
17% chance to gain an onslaught.
What is onslaught?
Where'd it go?
On-slot grants 20% skill speed and 10% moving speed in less specified on-slot last four seconds
Okay
That's kind of crazy. Do I even try in 1.2% base crit?
Wait, what is my crit chance? I
I don't know what it is on this on my weapon or gloves
Hmm
Gee and look at skill
Okay, main hand critical chance is 6%.
Oh wow.
So that's 6.6%.
That's my crit chance, really?
It's horrible.
Yeah, I guess 5% base.
That's gotta be it.
And the reason it's over 5 is because of that energy talent bullshit that I have.
You need to increase crit percent, then it's multiplied by the base, yeah.
Okay, um, do I even bother going for more gloves?
I feel like that's a max win.
I wonder if legendary gloves would work.
Should I gamble and try and get legendary?
gain 12% of damage as extra physical damage. Unmodifiable. Why is it unmodifiable?
Oh, because they're equipped, I see. Okay.
attack gain 10% of damage is extra fire damage okay I need to roll that bullshit I need to
They're all like plus cold damage basically.
I am fond of that.
Adds 2 to 7 physical damage to attacks. That's pretty nuts.
Yeah, attacks gain 12% of damage as extra physical damage.
Hmm.
I will take this.
and we'll take this
I am fond of that
I wanna go broke
Can I get one fucking yellow?
I'm broke! Where the fuck are the yellows?
The deal is done
Alright, let's see my currency here.
Okay, I only care about these gloves on the right.
Augments are rare item with a new modifier. Maybe I get lucky.
Fuck. Adds two to three fire damage to attacks. So now attacks gain 10% of damage
is extra fire damage. I mean it's something. I wish it wasn't fire.
10% but it's gonna be less.
Whatever I think.
Yeah, I just take that.
Augmented gloves.
I got rid of them.
Okie dokie.
Crimson amulet.
I don't know what I can roll on necklaces like do I want to make this into a magic item?
way. Plus three all attributes. Plus 14 energy shield. I think that's good, right?
I really want bonus energy shield here. Well this, hold on. This necklace has plus 28 max
maximum energy shield and plus 24 maximum energy shield. Isn't that way better?
Because I really care about energy shield. Life regen is best, but for me, it's damage
as well. Regal it, right? That's really good. Okay, it smacks out. Slam it. Plus accuracy
Okay, it's maxed out.
Slam it. Plus accuracy rating.
I don't- like, do I miss in this game? I feel like I don't.
Now exalted it. You think?
No, the amulet is not an armor item.
Is it not?
You're fucking right. Okay, it's not considered an armor item. You're right. You're right.
Yeah, I'm okay, so I don't care about the energy shield that much
Okay
Well, let's get back to work.
I need to go, I guess I'll go left to right.
So a theft of ivory.
Oh right.
Death shelters life in an unforgiving land.
Whoa.
Something's going on here.
Thanks for the gift of subs, Anonymous.
Oh, hey, Enga, fuck man.
of
God!
I'm slow as fuck.
God!
and
Why am I so slow all the time?
of
the spirit is called modifiers mom's
All right, there's something else I wanted to do.
I want to move this bell to here, I want to take that off, I want to re-bind that as
well.
Options, game, input.
hmm change that to q save
i don't know what the fuck i want to bind to middle mouse button
okay i should rebind that i shouldn't use middle mouse on anything
Little mouse is trash.
That can be R.
Okay, that works.
Yeah, that works.
Little mouse button is a go-to key-bind.
It is absolutely not.
I think it's awful.
Are you actually pressing it down?
I hate it.
Keep an eye out round here, eh?
A wasteland without end.
Search the bone pits for mastodon tusks.
How do I need that?
I already got all that fuck, what was I getting?
That's right, I'm getting this.
Area of effect for attacks, 5% chance to build an additional combo, I like that.
Is there a way I can see my convo points like on my character or do I have to look to the
the bottom right to see how many I have.
No, sadly. Okay, so I just gotta look the fuck down there. That's crazy.
Improves the quality of an armor.
Yeah, I think I want the armor shit, right?
Oh, and monsters. Okay. So this is going to be a more difficult one.
Okay, I understand those runes now.
The runes just buff the enemies, but the more you buff them, the better you get, that's
it.
Bag of Bond armor.
17% increase armor and evasion okay sure
this is just way better okay
Soda, can you give me your TBC gold? Nope. Is Viggy playing? Yes, she is. She is around
the same spot I'm in.
Oh
God
I have to go home.
Someone said you can control left click and it auto identifies.
Oh my god it does.
Okay, cool.
yeah I should be salvaging I forgot you only want to salvage quality and like
like I want to salvage this gun because it has two sockets right
okay yeah sockets and quality
You're absolutely right.
of
Ow.
Like I kinda have to be in there.
I've never had to be in there before.
Now that I have to be in there, I'm not sure what exactly, like, I actually can take damage-wise.
I don't know what to do with this.
What the fuck did I miss out here, huh?
Search the bone pits for the Mastodon tusks.
It's got to be southeast.
I didn't search very far.
Slow and big equals bad.
Oh, hello.
You
Oh
This trap will only be your food.
It's a chill!
Come here!
Stop!
Okay, we take some tasks, husks.
Chainmail, evasion and armor.
Trash.
Okay, done here.
Still have that freezing mark?
Oh yeah, I do and I haven't used it.
i put it like here
if a mark jim is starting to skill that mark will be triggered instead
using the skill allows any wolf minions to leap immediately
Okay, so you combo pounce.
I just gotta use this, I guess, my Q.
Thanks CrazyTree.
Oh, and okay, a fucking support too.
Thank God.
Oh, but what the hell do I want?
Right now, Ice Strike actually only has one fucking attunement to it, I just realized.
Elemental something?
50% more freeze buildup?
Huh.
My game just froze.
Let me read this while it's crashed and it's gone.
crash
update
What the fuck?
How's the build?
It's good.
I mean, it's not, but I'm doing okay.
Build is, I have no direction whatsoever.
So I'm just buying things that are good.
Hello.
