  2. My passion project sees the light of day! What can you do with it? Create builds! Export/import them! Make a build, press Summarize, then use one of the copy buttons below. Look at what abilities do! Mouse over icons on desktop; press icons on mobile/tablet. I don't have any inside info - the data is from fansites and videos - so there are some assumptions behind it that may not be correct: You get one point per level, starting at 2. There are no bonus skill points. The level cap is 25. This I'm pretty sure of, because there is no level 25 tier (which there should be if the cap were 30 or higher), but Iron Fists rank 4 requires level 25. You don't have to spend ability points as soon as you get them. You can hoard them. You can wait until you're level 20 and then learn all level 20 abilities at once. Therefore, the calculator lets you skip levels/hoard points if you turn off strict mode. As a result of these assumptions, there is a maximum of 24 points you can spend in my calculator. This may very well be wrong, so don't take it as gospel. I would love to know if you know/think differently! I have faithfully copied the data as written, other than fixing a few typos here and there, but the following are probably not correct: Rank 2 Corrosive Siphon can permastun an enemy. Freezing Pillar, Blackbow and Pull of Eora can be learned without finding them in a grimoire. These are the only spells that require Grimoire Mastery without having to be learned from a grimoire. I expect they do in fact need to be learned from a grimoire. Sniper is 25% for all ranks. Looking at other passives that are 25% at rank 1, it's probably supposed to be 25%/40%/50% or 25%/35%/40%. And now for some questions you may have about the tool... I want to make a max level build and/or not worry about build order. Turn off strict mode. I exported, but didn't get the build order I had in mind. When you play around and reduce skill levels while in strict mode, the calculator will try to keep your build intact and valid rather than force you to start over, but it cannot always figure out the order when you do this. If you want to be sure it gets the order right, start over and only increase skills to get your build. If you didn't lower any skills while building and the order still ended up wrong, do let me know. I can't increase this skill, why? You've spent all 24 points, the skill has no more ranks, you're missing a pre-requisite (Grimoire Mastery or Unbreakable), or you're in strict mode and taking the skill would cause you to skip levels. I can't lower this skill, why? It's a pre-requisite (Grimoire Mastery or Unbreakable) for a skill you still have. Get rid of that skill first. I have an issue with the calculator. What should I do? Post it here! I have a suggestion for the calculator. What should I do? Post it here! I have made a build that I want to talk about. What should I do? Post it! But not here. Give your build the space it deserves with its own thread!

  3. Eh, actually, most groups are just dead silent. I even pugged the "raid" on Torment IV last season to get the feats of strength and it was fine. Mostly. The first attempt was a disaster as I did not have enough defense to avoid death during unavoidable damage moments.

  5. Today in dumb: Trump says he’s given advisers instructions for Iran to be ‘obliterated’ if it assassinates him Code name: Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. Just to put that in perspective, Iran has a population of 91 million. The total deaths in World War II were estimated at 70-85 million. So what happens if, say, Israel takes him out in the guise of an Iranian plot? I think there's a more tempered response available in the form of smart bombs. In the meantime, Iran has more motivation to build nuclear weapons.

  6. This stuff, presumably? If so it's what those young chaps like to call copium. It got no media traction because it's essentially worthless. The drop off benefitting Trump and against Harris is exactly what you'd expect from a popular vs unpopular candidate. In MMP terms it's basically the equivalent of a popular MP being returned in a constituency where the party vote goes heavily against their party vs an unpopular one losing their seat despite the party vote in that electorate favouring their party. Trump's an idiot and was almost certainly referring to the vote analysis tool Musk wrote which by all accounts did a very good job, assuming it was the comment in that Newsweek article. Though there's also been a lot of actually fake fake news about stuff Trump didn't say too.

  7. In the end, this is what the American people voted for. Not like anyone can say we aren't getting exactly what was expected from a Trump/ Republican clean sweep*. The first question is whether anything they're doing is illegal, or just against precedent. Seems at least some of it is, since stuff like deporting citizens has been blocked. But for stuff that isn't actually illegal there probably isn't any avenue for stopping it. *which means the media is rather stuck. At least last time they could burble on about the popular vote; this time it's clear cut, and was so after the experience of 2017-20.

  8. But I assume this is classic Trump classic " distraction tactics " so he can get the media focusing on this so he can push through his appointments or other policies This Gaza idea makes no sense for many reasons that include the Palestinians wont agree to it The entire ME wont agree to it except for Israel who is going to invest in Gaza and build hotels when there is so much instability around security Worst idea I have ever heard, maybe Trumps age is showing with this type of delusional suggestion

  10. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/2/5/trump-says-us-will-take-over-and-own-gaza-in-redevelopment-plan Trumps going to solve the decades long Palestinian conflict by the US taking control of Gaza and turning it into the " the Riviera of the Middle East”. Definitely the dumbest and most unrealistic solution I have ever heard about a permanent solution to peace
