    I haven't tried it yet, but I think Beyond had its place in hyper density like Blight. I cannot PoB a build in which Kitava's Thirst and BF/BB make sense. BB in the helmet just leads to unimpressive single target dps. BF in the helm leads to absolute ass clear and honestly doesn't make any...

    Aren't lots of things in society mass delusions? I'm not saying that's a good thing in this specific case. But getting people to trust a system so that the system works isn't itself necessarily a bad thing. That said, the mass delusion and trust has definitely been abused.

    I like scarabs too, but the ubiquitousness is a bit disturbing long term. Chisels are already common enough that you can pretty much use them every T15+ map to the point that why doesn't every map drop qualitied?

    How does any system work when you can't pick up anything should be a default QA test case. Even if we had 1k spaces, you should still test it because that takes 1 hour tops. You find out it's annoying and then judge how much it's worth actually fixing. They didn't test nearly full inventory.

    Hope those UI changes comes soon. Or, more likely, a standardized filter for which pieces are worth picking up. You need 5-10 empty spots to deal with in-progress recipes. IDK, Archnemesis is shaping up a lot like Scourge in terms of shit league, great base game changes. I hope they handle...

    Wtf is voidstone boosts? Sextants? Still looking for a build worth investing 10s of exalts into. Still got something with kitavas thirst in my back pocket but the clunk makes me hesitant.

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    Spicy food should be spicy enough that it affects how fast you would have otherwise ate it. It's a shame that's so relative and can't be normalized. I usually order my Pad Thai with a 4, hoping that means 4 squeezes out of whatever plastic bottle they use to generically spice food. But even...

    Is there something weird with Hexblast? I bought a level 21 crackling lance gem for 5c last week. There's TWO level 21 Hexblast available atm for 2 ex. There's so little data available, poe.ninja doesn't even list level 21 hexblast nor any of its alt qualities. No one's playing crackling...

    Poison pellets. I used to get mice coming in through my attic. I put a pack of poison pellets every winter right outside the entry hatch and I haven't had one since. I think that was 3 years ago now.

    Good for how cheap they are. Little annoying to run back and pick up good lesser shrines. But it's not consistent, so it's really hard to pin an actual benefit to them. I look at the Shrine passives as additional pack size that doesn't require me to do something else(like Delve) or pause...

    The key is to get a job that lets you binge PoE while still accomplishing a modicum of work. Or learn to be a responsible and disciplined adult and don't let that shit distract you. I'm not sure which one of those is more difficult, haven't accomplished either!.

    No, there's a few ascendancy points that grant skills. Like the Necromancer gets Bone Armor, which is basically Steelskin but also applies to your minions. If you got that ascendancy point from those jewels, you didn't get Bone Armor.

    As someone with a potato computer, perhaps it would be best to summarize what are the best settings. Usually I can figure these out myself as games are intuitive in what settings are performance vs cost. PoE is bizarro world where who the fuck knows. I couldn't do Delirium last league, it was...

    Sunblast belt and two hair trigger jewels. Mechanics that depend on traps targeting enemies might suffer though. I've never personally played it. Balormage reduced arming time to 0 through cluster jewels last league and was somehow still generated frenzies and power charges.

    The most unrealistic thing about The Expanse is everyone video calling by default. This isn't a TV show so we can see the actors act, the books do it too.

    Kinda like what this guy is doing here. https://poe.ninja/challenge/builds/char/Rylizz/HueftPoety Apparently back in 3.15 they changed Archmage so that it can support triggered spells.

    Starter(Crackling Lance Ignite Elementalist) is petering out and I don't get the feeling like investing more into it is a good idea. Clear is good, but I'm not sure they can ever do enough to Crackling Lance to make standing still 4 times in a row worthwhile. Maw of Mischief Ignite is a ton...

    So, do you just do Maven witnessing stuff as you please since it's not required to unlock (most)passives anymore? If so, I'd plan your endgame tree around always having conqueror, shaper/elder, and synthesis nodes allocated. Then just respec in and out of one of maven/exarch/eater. With...

    Traps are likely still better than mines unless they absolutely fucked Seismic Trap. I'm very vocal about mines because I hate the arming time on traps. If that doesn't bother you, traps are better. Death of Unleash is likely oversold. My guess is it's not as ubiquitous. For example, if...

    Haven't seen this mentioned much of anywhere: minefield got buffed. It's going from 60% less mine throwing speed to 46%. If I'm doing this correct, old minefield was 5 * .4 / 1.4 = ~43% more dps 5 * .54 / 1.4 = ~93% more dps If the spell buffs and blastchain/high-impact nerfs are essentially...

    I tried putting one together, I tend to prefer more barebones PoBs for league starters. I don't know why, but I've been seeing quite a few league start PoBs that are using Heist weapon bases for a huge chunk of damage. Like stabilizing sceptres for EE or pneumatic daggers for all damage can...

    That PoB is a bit of a lie. No way you're maintaining Trinity with how little his lightning and cold damage ranges overlap. I don't feel his build video did a great job at explaining why Wind Ward isn't shit. He's obviously a good player, but this still feels like a bit of a bait. People...

    Beyond + Blight on the left side is going to be hard to ignore. Blight does slow you down, but does any other content add a comparable amount as Blight? They'll probably have to centralize Beyond in the future.
