    Yep, you can get 50% on the tree as well. Windscream boots has a bunch of curse AE as well as curse limit. I need PoB updated before I can make a sure judgment on the build. You might be able to paper over the mana and blasphemy issues, but I don't think you can fix Hexblast's target...

    It's ok. I played around with it over the weekend and my conclusion is that for feel of play, Exsanguinate mines is still better. I suspect Hexblast, crit hit or non-crit poison, has higher dps potential. The small range on Blasphemy has some anti synergy with mine playstyle. One of the...

    Nah, tikka masala is not a complicated dish. You could buy all those esoteric spices that you'll only use on that dish, or you could find a curry mix you like and just use that. Brown the meat, saute the veggies, add the spices and tomato paste at some point so they get some frying action, add...

    That's not what I was suggesting. Single target hexblast -> hexed corpse. Single target hexblast -> corpse makes sandy poof -> lots of cursed enemies Explosion hexblast. This does work, I just tested it. However, clear is still a bit clunky. Also, hexblast mines are a bit aurally annoying...

    Unideal because you need curse on hit for single target. And I'd rather not have to pay the mana reservation cost for blasphemy. I was also hoping to take advantage of Impending Doom, and since that would have to go on the blasphemied curse, that makes it even more expensive. Profane Proxy...

    Marohi is a good start, though you have to deal with the accuracy penalty. Most Inquisitors that abuse Heatshiver will start with that but then drop it because wand/shield + inevitable judgment is usually better than marohi + battlemage. Buffed marohi might change that, but I don't think it...

    I don't think so. I still have to test some of the mechanics, there are some threads to pick through on POEBuilds subreddit too. But from what I've gleaned of others' testing is that Blasphemy will not be good enough due to the server tick rate. They've also stated that curse on hit will...

    Mines! Or, I guess you could do traps, but why would you? Gonna flesh out a non-crit poison trickster once PoB is updated. That being said, the damage is not that much different from Forbidden Rite(on a 1 hp mine/trap) if you assume 6 projectiles hit. I don't know if there's actually...

    Really hard to compare as some of the best abusers of Heatshiver are spells and employ cast time cheats like Shockwave Totems or Exsanguinate Mines. As others are saying, I think you're going to need some hefty reduction to the base cooldown as the gem levels, not CDR, to make it competitive.

    Not really singling you out, just been musing on this since it's all fucking over the subreddit. While I agree, skills should be a lever they pull frequently, skills DID receive a buff...indirectly. Anything physical, especially spells, got a huge buff in 3.19 with Hrimsorrow and Heatshiver...

    Hexblast with mines looks really interesting. I have no idea how frequently blasphemy reapplies its curse aura...server tick rate? 1s cast time looks fucking ridiculous, just screams "trigger me!" followed up by "nah, just kidding". Fuck blasphemy aura...just use curse on hit, who cares if it...

    How do you guys deal with coring provinces later in the game?

    Recommendations for fixing shingles that aren't sheeting correctly? Water is getting behind the gutter in even light rain.

    Most bosses cannot have their action speed lowered below a certain percent of base. I think it's 70%, which you can hit on some cold or self chill builds with a little bit of investment, I doubt much will change there.

    Europa Universalis IV

    No, not country, video game. The game feels like it gets in its own way where the complexity is there for complexity's sake but not actual interesting gameplay. Either way, thanks for recommendations, I usually start in Europe and haven't really looked outside of it.

    What would be the best "map painting" game? I last played EU4 4 years ago, so I bought the subscription and gave it another try. EU4 definitely fulfills that historical fantasy pretty well. There just feels like there is too much getting in the way of blobbing out. This leads to long...

    Borderlands - The Pre-Sequel

    I disagree on the oxygen meter. Doom 2016 encouraged and rewarded you to keep moving and getting glory kills. A well timed glory kill could save your ass. The oxygen meter was an annoyance that never let you relax in a game about comparing guns. I don't recall the game progressing the oxygen...

    Looks like possibly some nerfs that need filtering through the economy to see what their true effect will be. Definitely some SSF friendly changes there, so on the surface, I like most of those.

    Seems like a "slow cookers are popular!" recipe of the 70s. I'm not sure I'd ever cook a pork chop in a slow cooker, seems like a good way to end up with an overcooked piece of meat. Moreover, how do you ensure the pork chop and rice are done at the same time? You might have better time...
