Third Time More Burny

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/03/15

Friends… sometimes I get something stuck in my head that I cannot seem to forcibly dislodge. I’ve also been sick the last few days so apologies for the lack of any semblance of a post yesterday. Anyways… a while back I wrote a post talking about my attempt at creating something that feels like Righteous ... Read moreThe post Third Time More Burny appeared first on Tales of the Aggronaut.

Abandoning Diablo

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/03/13

Good Morning Folks. I will give you some fair warning… this is going to be a bit of a bummer of a topic especially if you are a big fan of Diablo or more specifically Diablo IV. If so you might want to give this topic a hard pass. I consume a lot of gaming ... Read more The post Abandoning Diablo appeared first on Tales of the Aggronaut.

Refracting Lens of Wealth

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/03/12

Good Morning Folks! This is going to be a bit of a brief blog post because I have to go into the office today. It is funny how doing a thing that I used to have to do every day… basically ruins my entire day after four years of remote work. I spent a heck ...

Squirrels Are Go

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/03/11

Good Morning Folks! Shocking to no one… I am still playing an awful lot of Last Epoch. The game is in a truly phenomenal state and all of the random uniques that I am picking up… just keep driving me towards wanting to play various builds. While I am still slowly working on getting my ... Read more The post Squirrels Are Go appeared first on Tales of the Aggronaut.

Why I Now Main ARPGs

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/03/08

I’ve been kicking around this topic for a while now, and it seems like a good one to close out what has been a fairly busy week. This blog got its start originally as not only a World of Warcraft blog but more specifically a World of Warcraft Warrior Raid Tanking blog. From 2000 until ...

Resurrecting Fire Bro

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/03/07

Good Morning Folks! I know a few days ago I stated that I was going to be putting my Ignite Warpath Forge Guard aka “Fire Bro” on hold. However yesterday I ended up ripping the bandaid off and completely rebuilding the character into something slightly different. I am not sure how interesting this post is ...

Flamereaving

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/03/06

While I am still very much pushing my main Belgrevious the Echo Warpath Void Knight to 100, every so often I need a break. Lately, I have been tinkering with a Spellblade Mage, specifically one focused on Flame Reave, Firebrand, and Flame Ward. My friend Tam had talked at length about how much he was ...

Last Epoch and Skill Tags

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/03/05

Good Morning Friends! I’ve been playing an excessive amount of Last Epoch. With it I am playing a slew of different characters that all have their own different demands. At least in part, I am “yoloing” my way through gearing and speccing most of the characters, and it made me think about some of the ...

Fire Bro On Hold

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/03/04

Good Morning Friends! I hope you all had a delightful weekend. I spent most of my in Last Epoch and a shocking amount of it grouped up with friends doing some multiplayer shenanigans. That is really the piece of this game that works so much better than Path of Exile… grouping with my friends does ... Read more The post Fire Bro On Hold appeared first on Tales of the Aggronaut.

Improving Last Epoch

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/03/01

Hey Folks! I am having a blast with Last Epoch but as always the case as I spend hundreds of hours playing a game, I start to create a mental list of things that I would change or do differently. Inevitably I end up making one of these posts where I talk through that list. ... Read more The post Improving Last Epoch appeared first on Tales of the Aggronaut.

Ignite Warpath in Monoliths

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/02/29

Morning Folks! I am sure you are all probably sick of me talking about this build, but I think more than anything I am shocked it is still functional. I thought for certain that the wheels would begin to fall off as soon as I got deeper into Monolith Echoes. At this point, I am ...

Almost Righteous Fire

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/02/28

Hey Folks! I’ve been down a rabbit trail for the last few days in Last Epoch where I started a brand new character. Initially, it started out as a “I lapped my friends, so I should start something new so I can play with them” which led me to start a Forge Guard character. Forge ...

Last Epoch Crafting Primer

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/02/27

Good Morning Folks! Yesterday I had a request from one of my friends over on Mastodon to at some point do an explanation of the crafting system for Last Epoch. Apparently at one point I did one of these for Path of Exile… and here is proof that I do not remember half the things ...

Nearing Ninety

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/02/26

Good Morning Folks! This weekend was a weekend where I pretty much played nothing but Last Epoch. Given how much I focus in on a single game and then just beat the crap out of it… this should shock no one. What might shock some players however is that I was able to play Last ...

Featuring: Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Tamrielo, and Thalen Hey Folks! We are back after taking a break last week due to the limited number of folks available.

2024/02/23

Good Morning Friends! I am nearing the end of the campaign. Last night before I finished up for the evening I got to the beginning of Chapter 9 and I believe level 55. This morning before sitting down to write I made it into Majelka in the Divine Era and apparently, you don’t have to ...

Rough but Stabilizing

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/02/22

Good Morning Folks! Yesterday was the 1.0 launch for Last Epoch and it was a bit of a wild ride. The servers came online at 11 am CST, and the 7.32 GB Steam patch showed up a bit later. Most folks had to exit out of Steam entirely to get it to show up correctly. ... Read more The post Rough but Stabilizing appeared first on Tales of the Aggronaut.

Nightingale Initial Thoughts

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/02/21

Good Morning Folks! Since the Last Epoch servers were down last night in preparations for the 1.0 launch today, and Nightingale opened up for early access I decided to give the game a spin. Right now the game is on an introductory price of $26.99 and I figured since I knew I was going to ... Read more The post Nightingale Initial Thoughts appeared first on Tales of the Aggronaut.

Mageblood, Headhunter, and Squire

Tales of the Aggronaut ·

2024/02/20

Good Morning Folks! It is feeling like it is time to start putting things to bed in the Path of Exile Affliction league. I’ve been spending most of my time over the last few weeks playing either Enshrouded or Last Epoch, and with that has come less desire to log in and grind. I feel ...
