Path of Exile 2: Best PoE 2 Witch build

This build’s only downsides are its squishiness and heavy reliability on Spirit. Skeletal Snipers deal great damage though, especially via their Gas Arrows. Detonate Dead Detonate Dead works perfectly with the scorpion minions summoned by Unearth. This means Flame Wall becomes all the better, and the ranks of your minion army continue to increase! Vulnerability Vulnerability curses all nearby targets and makes hits against them ignore a portion of their armour....

RPS Asks: what are you favourite games for the winter malaise?

Symphonia might scratch your Silksong itch, even though it's not a metroidvania

I breathed, watching myself casually tear off a violin solo to magic open a door. I sang, watching myself artfully bounce my violin bow off the floor and catch it to double-jump. I honked, watching myself evaporate against some spikes. “Meet prodigious musicians and venture to convince them to join the orchestra.” I deduce from this that the game has a three-act structure. Symphonia is out… now! Here’s some ofDisney’s Fantasiato wash it all down....

Valve are now selling refurbished Steam Deck OLEDs at up to £110/$130 off – if you can find them in stock

Provided you dont mind it being in someone elses first, anyway. There are, however, a couple of catches. And two, stock availability is going to be unreliable. The problem is that supply is wholly reliant on Steam Deck OLED owners returning their on-the-fritz handhelds under RMA. As such, if this deal does interest you, it may need to be…provoked.
