[@megAJuan31E]

Have you tried doing a run with specific artifacts? Like I know you’ve done MAAO run before but I mean like some of the other fun ones. Like command, sacrifice, swarms, kin, and honor. I know CSS is a common set to run but adding kin and honor can add a degree of variability to it. I especially love stacking old guillotine because it applies to all the enemies. Like command is optional, mostly just to get used to the artifact of honor. Just some food for thought

on my 3rd play through this game the first day i got it I got most of these great items on commando, and then on top of that I got the aspect of fire drop which I was not aware was so rare. I ended up doing over 1 million damage, but because this was my 3rd time ever playing I managed to get to the big final boss before you loop I still got destroyed because I was just inexperienced but I can't deny that was my best run by far for a long time.

to me, a god run is not by definition of the power you wield, but the power that you are holding back. the god run is to kill everything in and out of sight before you even see them, to destroy that which is vulnerable and mortal in the hands of the almighty without even lifting a finger. to me, the god run is to be uninfluencing, and utilize your so called “baubles and trinkets” to the fullest extent, and seeing with how far the scaling of the mortals goes, who knows how much the player is holding back.

thank you for this video, also thanks for explaining some things like "proc chain" please make more such videos or upload your runs from the streams ty!

[@twigcheeseball]

Hey Woolie I love your videos, and I always love learning from what you put out (Just so you know, please make more of these uncuts, they're great). However, one question I have is that this is the first time that you've ever said to kite in this game as far as I can remember. You've always said get super melee range to enemies, it is harder for them to hit you. From watching stream vods and so on I've come to the conclusion that you tend to stick to melee range in the first loop, then as you build up damage and proc chains you tend to start to kite any enemies that don't immediately explode. I understand it can be hard to define hard rules like this, but would you generally agree that 1st loop = melee range, 2nd loop and on = kite anything? Or would you say its generally because most things in the early game (1st loop) aren't super dangerous (like invisible blazing elder lemurians lel). Thanks for reading my question!

[@kotl7]

That's a pretty good rule to go by, yeah. After first loop it's pretty dangerous to get close to enemies because just one hit can put you at critical health, then the situation can spiral out of control, maybe because a celestine wisp is cloaking everyone while you run away and you get hit by invisible fireballs that you didn't see coming.

PROC stands for "programmed random occurrence". Makes it less abstract for a lot of people when they understand what it stands for.
