    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    No meme. It's the same kind of game that you makes sit sit back for a minute and think to yourself 'what in the fuck are other studios doing if this was possible all along'. It's the same feel as BG3, Elden Ring, etc, where you've been so starved of actual good games you kinda forgot what it...

    This game is definitely French/10 There's going to be an uncomfortable amount of CP bait made about the red head

    That is absolutely shocking to me. 3090/5800x3d and I can barely maintain 60fps in mapping content, frequently way less than that during really busy stuff like big breaches

    You can grind/level/outgear everything to a point that you can just fail all the QTE sections and most parry mechanics and still do just fine

    Bunch of people that have never watched multiple tanks fighting over a mob like Super Sayins teleporting all over the area far taunting mobs. And sycophants, plenty of those too.

    The current era of 'competitive' CoD is all played on controllers because the aim-assist is so overwhelming that playing with a M/KB is a handicap. Do with that information what you will

    You can play hammers way in to the endgame, even with it being nerfed a few times here or there. Just remember most of your damage is from the divine judgment procs, not the hammers themselves, and you really need to keep an eye out for the relics that provide more proc chance for judgment

    Yea it just doesn't do it for me. I did like 75% of the campaign today and just got bored and logged off. The constant loot explosions combined with 0 difficulty just makes it so hard to care. I'll probably give it some more time later just to see what they changed in their corruption endgame...

    Hmm I didn't play the last big update so the lizards are new to me, but yea they are a huge part of the infinite loot explosions. The further I get the more this feels like D3 to me. It's fine, but after 3 days and 10,000 unique items trying to find legendary potential I'm gonna probably get bored.

    They absolutely have been watching people bitch about poe2 and went and like doubled the loot drops in LE. The campaign has never been particularly difficult, but this is insane now. Entire inventories full of rares/uniques per campaign area. Had to make a loot filter at like level 10. Getting...

    Companions don't work in maps unless you're already investing heavily in to minions - they will just be dead like 90% of the time and waiting on the respawn timer. Also the companion loyalty notable to make their damage nodes for you just doesn't do anything so that's nice

    Failure states like you might hit in PoE are not possible here. You can go in 100% blind and just pick a couple skills you like and a class you like and assign the points to whatever says +damage on it more or less and be 'fine'. You won't clear the super high tiers of corruption or anything...

    Retaliation skills definitely feel like a 2nd or 3rd build project once you've got some resources to work with. I'm gonna just yolo Chieftan slams I think and see how it goes.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Yea this isn't even API or any external data parser - just basic as Vault searches for eDiscovery bullshit. Near as I can tell it's just bassic boolean input and should be fine with doing it as a huge AND+OR, or worst case break down in to two separate queries.

    Yea the removal of totems giving you an available 4-link to play with is definitely throwing me off my usual build plans. It's probably time to explore some alternative utility skills I guess? Maybe a voidsphere for crowd control? Are we back to having a stone golem for some regen?

    Yea it's really ass and makes the aggravated stuff on tree a complete trap unless you're exactly lacerate I think The only way any kind of big slam bleed like EQ or whatever is gonna work is with the gladiator node
  27. ronne

    Path of Exile

    Yea that's the primary concern, the way active bleeds work is only based on the strongest bleed application and the wording on aggravate makes it sound like it's not part of the base bleed application: The extra damage from Aggravated bleeding is separate to bleeding's normal damage. For...

    Yea I'm gonna probably just yolo chieftan with any random slam skill that I like the most. It's all pretty interchangeable, the only real question is pure phys or use one of the fire converts like tec slam. The damage numbers are so high you can pretty much flail your way in to red maps without...

    I think people are really missing what was written in the FAQ. They are saying the passive tree stuff can only ever cause an *existing* bleed to become aggravated, meaning that you attack > apply a bleed > attack again with ~45% chance to aggravate the previous bleed > what happens if the 2nd...

    The amount of Slayer/Chieftan bleed setups I see taking ~45% aggravate on the tree and using fist of war+ruthless+volatility is fucking incredible. Just the worst kind of PoB warrior nonsense, cause it isn't even obvious from the config how bad it's going to actually play. ESPECIALLY since...

    That's just replica alberons strength stack, it barely has anything to do with molten strike lol You can sub in nearly any melee skill using that core of alberons + crown (no more battlemages cry) + fortress and just go to the moon with DPS. I played it to 100 in necropolis using volcanic...

    Yea ground slam doesn't really work for bleed, not the base gem anyway - too much of its damage is tied up in the 'more damage with hits based on proximity' bit that won't help your bleeds much. I haven't done the math on sunder vs earthquake for bleeds, but just eyeballing it it looks like...

    Everyone thinking about playing lacerate needs to log in to standard and test it out a bit. The hemorrhage variant has 0 AE scaling and can't switch to sand stance. Everyone uses it for these build recommendations because the numbers on it are absurd, but even with bleed pops the clear is gonna...

    Path of Exile

    PoB does some weird calculations with bleed with your attack speed vs bleed duration vs average hit to come up with the numbers it does, so it's like always averaging out ruthless? I haven't been quite able to make exact sense of what it's doing, but it definitely isn't just counting your...
