    Path of Exile

    Frostbolt + Ice Nova is ridiculously strong once geared. I played it last league and had a lot of fun with it. There is a pretty in depth guide that details the interaction between CoC, frostbolt, and ice nova in the shadow forums.

    Path of Exile

    A few newer CoC guides out there state frostbolt does proc ice Nova twice, but that gem order does matter. There is one guide in the Scion forums where he gives an explanation after he tested it.

    Path of Exile

    If you wouldn't play the elementalist again I'd just spend the regrets. Figure the time involved getting to 88 again vs currency you could make in that time as a level 88 and you should come out ahead just spending the regrets.

    That is quite a bit better. Now dump the Mana flask for a silver flask so you can have onslaught and get used to having Quicksilver+diamond+silver always going. You should be clearing fast enough to have all three going pretty much the whole map.

    I ran that towards the end of last league and it is definitely good. It was slightly slower for map clear than arc totems, but a lot faster for boss kills.

    Path of Exile

    I've used arc totems as a league starter for like 4 leagues now. It is hard to beat for speed/value if done right. You could cut a few minutes off of each run if you replaced a mana flask with a Quicksilver. Even with MOM I rarely ran a mana flask, let alone two. It is also much faster to just...

    NFL 2018 - 2019 -- Watch America's favorite sport wither away and die

    Profootballtalk said numbers show you have a 15% chance of winning when you punt there. Absolutely stupid to punt. Passing on 3rd and 2 when you should already know you need to go for it on 4th was also a terrible call.

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    The console was preorder only and they were sold out everywhere, so no exchanges. Around here you can't even find a regular pro within 250+ miles, and it has been that way for months. These special editions typically can be flipped on eBay for $600+, so a lot of people preorder for that. I...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    I purchased a PS4 Pro Spider Man Edition when it came out last month and had console hard freezes and locks from day 1. It was weird because the image on the screen would be locked, but if I was in party voice chat I could still talk and hear. Sometimes holding the power button down wouldn't...

    Engineering Eternity did Uber elder quite a few times with a hybrid MS/Consecrated path jugg with Nebulochs. He has a build guide that probably has one of the Uber elder kills in it (or on his twitch).

    I haven't looked at your gear, but a lot of people shoehorn kaom's roots into their build just for Uber elder and say it makes the fight much easier.

    Wow Korrupt, you really blew up your build. You were one of the few running mjolner at high level when I looked last night, then all of a sudden it is poet's today. I have been running mjolner as Inquisitor, but I haven't found a decent single target option I like (charged dash is awkward). I...

    It is funky for totems too. If you use it in a totem it casts vaal arc once and then the totem just sits there, which is really bad. You have to socket the vaal version somewhere else and you can at least get the 4 second Lucky buff, which does affect currently placed totems. Increased duration...

    Home Security systems....

    I use simplisafe and have installed it for a few friends. I personally think it is well worth it. Their refurb systems actually appear to be brand new and are just overstock. For the basic monitoring it is only $15 per month with no contract and we get a 10% insurance discount. Just having signs...

    One of my favorites at taco bell is the Chili cheese fries loaded griller. It isn't listed on the menu locally, but it has been available for months. It is also only $1 from 2-5 as part of their happy hour. I'm also a big fan of the sausage A.M. crunchwrap. As a disclaimer, I do put their fire...

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    They changed it at some point to a story completion splinter bonus. 100 splinters for defeating Green Goblin and 100 splinters for defeating doom for the first time on an account. I did read at one point this was only if you picked a 200 splinter starter hero and didn't apply if you picked a 400...

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    It's been said a lot, but this game has turned around a lot since release. The developers seem to really enjoy and care about their product and the IP. The number of special events and new content has really amazed me. All the heroes are pretty strong when geared, so don't feel the need to play...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Just don't be deceptive. If you are running and only have 1 or 2 slots say so. I've only had one bad experience. I joined one that was advertised as last in opens and joined a clan group of 3 where they obviously only had one slot. I politely warned them it was against community etiquette and...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    EP really is insanely strong in a group, even with pretty poor gear. I just came back recently and think I may have been a little spoiled with early weapon drops (pretty beast Thunderfury, then Odyn last night). I also gambled both a magefist and cindercoat last night which are sitting on my DH...

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    I've found the fastest way to level early is just xdef/midtown to 20. Then legendaries (reroll any time consuming ones). Rerolling legendaries does give you a lot of the waypoints needed to get story mode bonuses. One of the things that I haven't liked is having to run story content in each...

    That AM crunchwrap does look pretty good. For $1 during happy hour, the Taco Bell Grillers are pretty good (I usually get the Chilli Cheese Fries and Beefy Nachos Grillers and a Baja Blast Freeze). From 2-5 all of their drinks are also $1 for a medium.

    I've noticed a pretty big difference past wave 10 even over the last few weeks. I had 2 uniques and 3 cosmics in one wave 15 doop cycle, and tend to get most of my cosmics and uniques after wave 10. I have had horrible luck for splinter box randoms... Daredevil, Squirrel Girl, Gambit, Black...

    They posted today cosmics not counting for LQ's will be fixed soon. I've done a few cosmics (doc oc, pyro/magneto) on a fresh 60 hulk. It's definitely not real fast on him solo, but my only deaths were to pyro. I had a fresh 60 Nightcrawler friend wearing some gear that was still in the 40's...

    I just run up to a mid/hib controlled keep and attack the guards standing outside. I've taken a few keeps too, and never had an issue with hitting them. The CS necklace porter has been down for me between 7 and 11 CST just about every time I go check (waste of 10+ minutes each time). I checked...

    Are Mid porters working? Out of the last three nights I've seen alb porters work once (and they were broken after we went to use them 45 minutes later). It's a big reason Alb hasn't been very active in RvR. Yesterday I was stuck out in hib with no action and had to guard suicide to get back. Are...
