I feel like a relapsed alcoholic. My brain is on fire trying to optimize the best builds, party composition, skill synergies, ship crew and equipment, and consumables, and quests order, and stuff. I am nauseated by the starting Island and the Engwithan Dicksite after a bazilion restarts. I'm doing 3 playthroughs simultaneously. A blast, I say! X)

Thank you. But I'm not the only one - you're all still here, answering, helping, sharing weird ideas, offering free & cool mods and so on.
Great community really, especially all you guys of the enduring inner circle. 😄 

🥰   

Well said! All of you guys can be proud of the great stuff you've done for this game!

Finally I've had the time to see this video and comment it on Youtube.

I wanna say not only @Boeroer is a myth of this community and forum, but you with @Aestus have explained very well the core concept behind these builds without wasting time in other particulars not central for the builds. Boeroer is great writing down builds but he is quite better in talking about those with his mellow voice, and I don't really hear a german accent ;)
I wonder if you have some defects, now I'm imaging you almost as a deity - maybe obsidian can reserve you a place in PoE3 pantheon 😜

Thank you 2 again for this video, I'm looking forward for other Aestus videos and/or Boeroer contents as always :)

The offer in the video still stands @Elric Galad I think a video discussing the community and balance patches would be fun! DM me if you are interested!

That would be a good idea, the big question is more about when. Still a couple of "urgent matters with the mod", real life stuff and the wife lurking around checking if I don't loose too much time on video games.

I admit I haven't even taken time to check your @Boeroer video. <French accent on> I am eager to hear his german accent for real. <French accent off>

Started watching this evening. Best points :

1) Now I've heard Boeroer's voice.

2) Now I know how Boeroer's name has to be pronounced.

3) Really appreciate the perspective in which you put the question : what are builds about ? This question is quite interesting because we're all putting vast hours of our lives in this power fantasy, but it is all about that ? Power ? If anything, Boeroer has treated PoE builds like an art. I mean, in the closest way you can make art from a bunch of stats and fun looking pieces of equipment. Just trying to be creative, consitent with a thematic, and somehow almost elegant. It might have been possible only for 3 reasons :

- PoE is PvE CRPG. Sure, a PvP and/or hack'n slash would favor bid bad raw DPS.

- PoE whole system is excellent, quite open and allows to do a whole bunch of stuff. It might have the best multiclassing system ever made, and each class is quite well-defined on its own.

- Of course, Boeroer own personality. 

 

That said, I'm going to bed now. I'll continue watching soon.

This instead put doubts on me: in italian Boeroer is Boeroer, simple, plain, easy. Now you say me it is "Bweerr" o something like that 😄 How does the owner spell it? I mean in german with full german accent 😜
Anyway now we want, or rather, demand, Elric and his french accent on our screens! :)

I did miss the opportunity the video gave me to explain how it's pronounced in German and also how it came to be.

Its supposed to sound like this:

https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/g2g1zvgb08qbxsipe7fes/boeroer_sound.mp3?rlkey=o6pd77oyefp13ji5qaxuy25fs&st=876k23xn&dl=1

But since that's close to impossible to pronounce for anybody who didn't grow up with or learned "Umlaute" such as ö (it's originally Börör - in the earlier days of the Internet umlauts were a no-no). I'm fine with whatever people come up with. It isn't a proper word anyway:

It came to be during a LAN-Party (I believe we were playing Diablo II at the time) and I accidentally belched really loud when I actually wanted to shout some warning or smth. at somebody... oops. Somebody then tried to convert that sound into text in the game chat and wrote "what was that Börör?" or something along the lines. Everybody was laughing because when your read it out loud (in German) it sounded nothing like a/the belch at all. Somebody said it sounded more like the last name of some old dutch or buren dude. "Like 'Horst Börör' hahaha!". Anyway it then stuck as a nickname - but luckily not in real life (phew) but only for online/gaming use. :)

That's Elric though. If not, my pseudo won't be a perfect anagram of my actual first and last name made with heroic fantasy names. 

Because your actual name is Ricel Dlaag!

I agree, it is non
pronounceable, even for me who am from north Italy Austrian border 😄

Just to say, I came to this forum originally in 2020 during my first run of the game. Both Boeroer and Thelee were really active, and were so helpful in helping me understand the game, deadire being my first foray into a crpg proper. 

I come back now, almost 5 years later, having spammed nothing but crpgs in that time lol to give deadfire another whirl and I see Boeroer and Thelee STILL on these forums, still helping newbies and veterans alike with all of their deadfire questions.

Huge props to them both (and other big community helpers) for their dedication honestly, and any shootouts by people like Josh is well deserved. Honestly Obsidian should just hire them both as ambassadors at this stage!
