Traps, mines of chaos skills then, or pure phys Slayer? Maybe totems as well. I'm thinking about arc trapper or some sort of minion necro, but I can't make a decision before we get full patch notes and ascendancy info.

I thought of totems, some elementalist divine ire to lightning conversion, bane/soulrend or meming with some volatile dead build. The later is my current favourite but I don't know anything about the skills and required equipment to build my own build. Gotta need a guide or lots of freetime to theorycraft this shit out.

There was a volatile dead build guide by waggle or ghazzy on yt, you should maybe check it out. As for making builds I usually steal parts of builds from different guides to make my own version, some worked out pretty well, others not so much

Been feeling crazy mental deterioration lately which leads to physical deterioration.

Trying to hard to get outta this slump. I thought focusing 100% on work would do the trick but it merely only served as a distraction on which its diminishing returns has finally caught up.

My gouts been acting up in both my feet so I took the day off to just play wow and take it easy at the gym and I feel slightly better. Colors look a lil brighter and pictures of corgis on ig make me smile again.

i been super stressed lately and i end up feeling absolutely hammered in the morning like i got no rest, despite sleeping the same amount/more every night.

Can relate. Only thing that's helping me is more sleep and less work lol.
Won't be having less work till Dec so it'll be mostly more sleep then. And trying to get out of the house and get some fresh air also helps me get strong again.

Real life sucks this way. I am also suffering similar things.

I just skip like a day or two of exercise. Suddenly it accelarates in hurting my mood and productivity

Pretty much. There are build archetypes, but even one archetype can be built in numerous ways. And basically any skill can clear the entire game with enough investment in gear.

Reading guides for POE makes my head spin haha. I think that's why I might redownload D3 for a bit of causal grinding while I have YouTube videos in the background. My computer not being able to play MHW and do YouTube stuff simultaneously bums me out.

For me it's the same kind of thrill I get from playing Dota2 but without 4 retards in my team. I have no clue whats going on half of the time and wrestling with the game for control and understanding gives me the kind of enjoyment I expect from a vidya game.

And I think they have the fairest business model + best community management out there. Lead developers making lengthy reddit posts every time they fuck something up, explaining the situation and giving clear messages on "whats next" is something really rare in this industry.

Yeah I've tinkered a bit. One day, I will probably try it out. Not soon though, haha. I still have a big listing of VNs and Trails of Cold Steel 2 to beat after I'm kinda done with MHW, and I have no clue how much more MHW I wanna play. But it'll be a few more weeks of MHW/D3.

I watched the first 20-30 minutes and didn't see any live gameplay. The opening video was really good though (it's like 10-15 minutes of recorded gameplay and explains some of the core systems/mechanics). I haven't been able to get behind the hype of this game until now tbh.

nice, thanks. I'm torn. While I think it's going to be a good game. Maybe even a great one, impeccable for fans, I don't know whether I'll be part of the fan group, yet.
I like the aesthetics and all but idk if I like the more pronounced RPG elements - compared to TW3, which to me was a hack and slay with a captivating story.
So maybe I'll try a netrunner / no collateral dmg run but gunplay wasn't too convinicing yet.
Yet.
