Anyone who isn't a member of my premade are always 'muted', both voice and chat, since coming back after like 2 year break I haven't heard one person talk/chat etc?

It obviously looks like a setting on my end, but they all look good as far as I can see? Does anyone know what's up because it just ruins the game haha... ?

Luminary + Hallowed Monarch lets you perma link minions such as zombies, spectres etc. With 14k-ish life you're getting 1.3k-ish flat fire damage which you could link to all your minions. It also gives a random minion HH buffs.

I very rarely play any minion builds these days, but i seem to remember getting like 5-10 added flat damage and some minion attack speed on a jewel and being pretty happy about it... isn't 1.3k-ish kind of insane? + a perma merc for auras or whatever with them also + spectres as usual, or even main spectres.. This is 1300 flat damage too, not just damage to attacks etc. Or go crit link and give them all 100% crit?

Also you can use FF jewels for any normal scion ascendancies too.

Not sure if this has any legs or is just crap compared to what minion builds already have, and also linking to something that has a time duration like skele just gets you killed when it despawns 🤣

Do merc stats work properly 'behind the scenes' ?

When i add gear with stats like +50 str, they don't go up in the stats panel, but i haven't tried enough gear to test things like curtain call etc?

Can't seem to find any posts on it either

The new crab staff is a bit of a swing and a miss.

They are essentially 'spell totem support's with legs, but the mechanics haven't changed at all, they don't aggressively move to enemies in order to cast spells, so if you have an enemy super close like in my picture, if a spell totem support wouldn't cast at them, neither do these.. Which for anyone who has played actual 'spell totem support' knows it's really painful for mapping, but they're ace for just nuking bosses and running away.

However this is the huge bit, now if you're fighting a boss, the crabs won't cast at them anymore because they're too far away, and you can't 'place them' near to the boss so that they do start casting, so it has the worst of both worlds, coupled with the fact that a sceptre+shield for totems is insane, and the extra link you get on this staff isn't a biggie in comparison to those.

I was hoping this staff would bridge the gap and allow for some cool interactions, but the passive nature kills it, ranged monsters like in my pic just shoot you in the face and the crab stands still doing nothing haha.

GGG pls make aggressive crabbos

EDIT: Glad this got traction, hopefully GGG sees and makes crabs more aggressive, this will be insanely fun if so.

Complete newb here, but I represented myself In court 3 months ago (almost on the dot..) and won the case, There were multiple hearings and obviously had to build defence statements, letters, submissions etc.

I'd like to submit a DCO1 form to claim back costs, lost earnings and legal aid rates, but when the case finished I wasn't told anything about DCO, It wasn't brought up and I wasn't aware of it at the time either and it's only just coming to light that I should've brought it up myself at the time, is there anything I can do now or am I doomed?

Cheers!
