    They're totems. You like totems, so that might actually help. But it's my main reason for dropping them. I hate dropping clones into empty space, I'd much rather react to a pack when I see it like a normal build. Which is a shame because the build otherwise has so much potential for...

    Even BAMA falls off as you get closer to maps. I suspect whatever video you saw on "just" frostblink + archmage wasn't being honest about incidental support from the passive tree.

    You're probably right. Ward-stacking Elementalist with Nightgrip? Call of the Void or Shaper of Winter to encourage HoI chaining.

    Found my hipster build: Ice Spear of Splitting Mines Pathfinder. Mines because fuck aiming a single projectile. Pathfinder because sustain on mines sucks and it enables RF and a free damage aura via guardian's blessing. Gem swapping in the regular gem and some additional proj for boss fights...

    The only way ensure Copilot won't install itself is to use an OS that even Microsoft won't touch.

    Since Champion is going to be popular again, has there been any new tech for maintaining Adrenaline? This seems similar to maintaining a life flask on Pathfinder, which I just ended writing a simple AHK macro that hits your life flask every X seconds. Bind it to a function key and you bypass...

    They did change how the 3D cache was positioned so that it would be less insulating. That said, when loading maps on PoE1, it will max out my 7800X3D, which can push it into the 70s and low 80s celsius. Max out, as in 100% load according to Windows task manager, not 100% of one core. Using a...

    Under 60c on a X3D processor is impressive. That's 100% full load?

    I don't think Clustering deserves a nerf. Though it did catch a stray from Heirophant. Clear is fantastic on the skill, but so is the base skill. And the single target is not noticeably better to make it imbalanced.

    I'm waiting for GPU manufacturers to add standardized support bracket contacts. I'm a bit surprised it hasn't happened yet, not even to the degree of someone does it this way, someone else does it another way, just none at all afaik. I have a Lian Li 216 and ASRock 7800XT. I had to file down...

    I get that 250 character limit is far easier to implement than solving the root cause of why regexes that fucking long are commonly necessary...but cmon. And no, I'm not bitter as someone that still, to this day, has to support legacy Windows path length limits of 260 characters.

    I hope you're right. They've taken away Reduced Mana Cost % on flasks(maybe justifiably?) and Replica Conqueror's Efficiency(mostly unjustifiably) while making builds pay for triggers. No -mana cost on jewelry would hurt. Weapon craft being better than a keystone is kinda weird, I could see...

    The difference is that Sanctum roughly tracked with character progression, so it fit better into an ARPG. If someone said they thought Sanctum was low quality because oops melee, I wouldn't disagree. To be clear, my list was league mechanics, Settlers, not the patch state, 3.25. It's not so...

    They could have polished the fuck out of that turd and it would still just be Farmville in my ARPG. There was inherently a low ceiling on Settlers.

    Hopefully it's more of: Affliction Sanctum Sentinel And less of: Settlers Necropolis Ancestor Crucible Kalandra Archnemesis It's not just the release schedule that's suffered because of PoE2. The league quality itself has been much lower since they announced the games would be split.

    Isn't that what proton is? I'd be impressed if AI can handle porting old software. Maybe a focused AI that's been trained on the languges, OSes, and build toolchains.

    Microsoft Copilot installed itself on every computer I've checked so far. Mine, my son's, which isn't surprising as Windows Updates is still enabled. My work laptop, which I was a little surprised about as it seems to have violated the group policy AFAIK. Machines in which we have blackholed...

    When K was dealing with tac squad 2, they cut away from one of the troopers and what I thought was an ADR line of "STOP RIGHT THERE". But now I'm not so sure it was ADR, it's too different from when he yells "Sargent!". Oblivion easter egg?

    The chimney is capped. Though I don't know to what degree. I'm fairly ignorant here. It looks like the standard "lets smoke out and keeps some water from getting in". I paint my porch with that stuff that keeps water out, should I use the same stuff on the top few layers of cinder blocks of...

    Thanks for the advice. I've used hydraulic cement to patch cracks in my porch, much smaller volume. So I could not concern myself with the mixing vessel(some cleaned plastic recyclable or can) itself setting up quickly. How do you deal with this in a larger volume? Just set aside lots of...

    Nothing on the market comes close to PoE's build creativity and progression. It would be a mistake to discontinue active support to instead focus on "please follow guide" PoE2. Letting the community develop, which I sincerely doubt Tencent would allow, I think would also be a mistake. The...

    I don't know if my boss considered kubevirt, but he ended up choosing a qemu/kvm implementation to replace vmware. It's worked out alright so far, but we also lean heavily on containers where possible, VMs only if necessary.
