Yeah it sucks that I basically can't find any good numbers on how much damage the abilities actually do. PoEDB has the abilities doing the same damage as in Apex, which if true means the difference would just be the 60% more damage from the Alluring Abyss map mod. But the wiki says triple...

Killed Red Elder/Guardians on hardcore, first time I've managed that. How hard are Shaper/Shaper Guardians and uber Atziri relative to that? Give me some idea how likely I am to die.

I've honestly had really bad experiences with picking up parcels from the distribution point. Sometimes those are located in real shitholes fairly far from your house. The last time I went to one for FedEx the guy in front of me openly threatened the clerk over having to provide ID and the guy...

Path of Building doesn't have any Impale-related functionality yet, does it? Or am I just missing it somewhere?

Hyrri's Ire got buffed and adds a huge amount of damage to bow attacks so I figured you could do a Trickster life/es hybrid. High EHP for hardcore and with all the evasion + life and evasion + ES nodes PoB shows 90% chance to avoid attacks. Typical hybrid problems but I figure if you rarely get...

This is actually pretty interesting because I just tried it and it works in PoB.

Really stupid build idea: Scourge arrow CWC Arc with The Tempest. Would the lightning damage mod on the bow even apply to Arc?

You have to actually check it with the crafting guy, increased rarity can be either a prefix or a suffix. If it's the latter you can add life, if it's the former you can't.

Channeling the spell powers up the orb and makes it shoot more projectiles. The longer you channel it the longer it lasts so you can channel to charge it up and then run around and let it shoot at things.

Probably, but it might be slow if the totem has to charge up the orb before it starts shooting.

No, it's also channeled so everyone is planning on doing Winter Orb CWC Arc for maximum clear.

I took the starter path jump and not the second ascendancy. It's a totem build with chieftain/templar and without chieftain there's no leech, resulting in me dying to Izaro twice due to not being able to dodge his attacks on the little platform in the center and the whole rest of the room being...

By far the most annoying part of Scion is they have to finish cruel lab to even get an ascendancy and depending on your build you might have to finish uber lab to even be functional. I have a pet Scion build I've failed to make work in two separate (hardcore) leagues now because it's crippled...

What's unrealistic, the wither totem? Ok, take that out. Add "physical damage as extra cold damage" to the dagger. Those two mods alone increase DPS by 84.3%, and that's not even an absurd stat stick. You can also roll "add x% of physical damage as elemental damage of a random element" on stat...

I just made this as a demonstrator. There's a dagger in there with "20% of elemental damage added as chaos damage" and no other mods. Equipping it increases DPS by 45% with Wither Totem deactivated, and by 80% with Wither Totem on. The Atziri flask has roughly the same effect.

You have to skip lightning, because there's not really any good sources of lightning -> cold conversion. But that just prevents you from quadruple dipping. Physical -> cold -> fire is easily possible and lets you triple dip the mods.

Alternatively, you can bind move to spacebar, so holding down spacebar will cause your character to move towards where your mouse cursor is pointing. You can then use the skill bound to LMB via shift + left click, which forces use of the skill even if you target empty ground or something out of...

Stat sticks are broken because of how conversion in PoE works, and it's something a lot of people don't know about. When you have a mod that says "Deal X% of (non-chaos) damage as additional chaos damage," it applies to each conversion step. So if you only do physical damage and have a "20% of...

Toxic Rain is one of the best starters, it's cheap and easily scales up to clear all content. That's assuming the interaction with Quill Rain isn't nerfed in 3.5.

I'm honestly wondering if it wouldn't be better for them to just go back to three 31-point talent trees per class with 51 talent points, accept there's going to be some unforeseen balance problems stemming from the vast number of cominations, and just papering over it by giving every spec a...

TF/WF is the RNG equivalent of AA points. People say they hate RNG but would it actually be better received if they instead just made it where you can +5 ilvl an item of your choice every 25 +10 or higher M+ runs completed?

It can, but be aware it will aggro the first trash pack inside the sewer grate if you put it too close to the wall. If you're trying to go straight to the boss while skipping all the outside trash you're basically guaranteed to pull something extra with the statue.

No. I'm a reasonably successful white guy. According to the rhetoric of both the Left AND Right, I will be better off if the Right gains more power.

Odd Warrior is actually really good right now because you can beat some of the OTKs. You aren't ever beating Mecha'thun or OTK Mage but those are almost meme decks they're so bad. Malygos Druid is a free win and Togwaggle, while unfavorable, is winnable and really rewards understanding the...

M+ this week is just utterly hilarious. A +8 this week is literally harder than a +12 last week. 1. You can't CC, because Laser Matrix Azerite trait breaks it and there's absolutely fuck all you can do about it. Someone will proc it on the first ability they use on pull and the exponential...

WoW has the problem where it has to provide people with stuff to do, but at the same time doesn't want to make ridiculous grinds mandatory. The system of diminishing returns on grinding isn't perfect but I sure can't think of a better one.

The +5 ilvl upgrade is clearly not intended for the same tier of content that it drops in. It's intended as basically a pity upgrade if you get bad luck with drops and don't get any azerite armor to drop from the next tier. Every class has 1/3 azerite pieces that only drop from a single uldir...

I play tank as main spec. As of today, my loot from raids, caches, and weeklies consists of a 370 helm and eight DPS trinkets. Normal mode loot last week was frenetic corpuscle and vanquished tendril of g'huun. In Heroic I got the leather helm and frenetic corpuscle again. 380 cache loot was...

This is not true, the 370 crafted pattern is an auto discovery from the 355 craft, and the 385 pattern is an auto discovery from the 370 craft. I've also read that you get the sanguicell you used to craft the 370 piece back if you scrap it, so the only thing you lose by having to craft the 370...

G'huun is going to cause massive tears amongst casual players. Even on normal, the orb pickup debuff is long enough that in order to have enough throwers to activate the drive enough times, at least two thirds of your raid has to play the orb throwing minigame. That means they all need to both...
