I've tried block builds and dodge/evasion builds. I'll take "let's you move while DPSing" builds over those any day. Block/evasion/dodge will fail, and it will feel like shit because it means you can't progress your character's level anymore while doing whatever else you were doing. They can...

I was wrong about SST. But so were most other people. It's getting deserved meta status for numbers alone, on a defensive-oriented Raider, you still pump out very good single target DPS on a budget setup. More than once, I've griped about the clear of the skill. It's inconsistent, based on...

Who is Ben Lee and what did he do?

Fuck no, you have no way to pay the rage costs if it is your only DPS skill. Max block sure. Bleed, I don't see how that could work. The skill is heavily focused on attack speed.

Rage Vortex might be a skill, some day. It's like Lancing Steel: absolute bonkers dps kneecapped by shitty QoL. In fact, it's actually better than Lancing Steel, that skill requires to stand and deliver your dps. Rage Vortex lets you just fuck around and dodge, creating a new one every ~4s...

So the normies stop asking why we aren't married yet.

That sounds like the opposite of meditation.

The difference is focused ballista support. The totems no longer need a target in order to spawn clones, allowing you to spawn them before a fight and/or while a boss in monologuing.

I post on FoH, I don't want to be alone with my thoughts. Shower is usually my meditation time. I find if I space out while mowing I run over a root or something.

What's the cost in time investment? For example, I've been considering paying someone to mow my 1.75 acres because I want the time back and I'm tired of maintaining a mower that likes to break.

Toss this on the "nerfed next league" pile. It doesn't look terribly interesting in terms of playstyle or build planning. But if you're looking to literally delete some endgame bosses on the cheap, this is probably the best build out there. Best of all, it's quite modular, so you can fit it...

I meant whatever's been built upon a whole ton of people not working. High prices are related, but definitely another matter.

That's your defense? No one said anything? And other people were doing it too?

So, that's done, right? When's this shit all coming crashing down?

You're arguing supply and demand, I'm arguing ethics. So, yeah, kinda seems like you're part of the problem.

I am talking about Xexx. Were I a three dimensional solid of alcohol, I might make a joke about Mist trying to make everything about himself, but alas, I am not that. Trying to get by on a 1060TI makes me wonder if instead of trying to buy from latest generation, just buy whatever costs $XXX...

Kinda seems like you're part of the problem.

Give me 1s CD, 3-charge Dash back though. That shit was worth 159 dex on a build that needed 50. I don't know why GGG is ok with their wide array of movement skills boiling down to "least gay". Just like mana, the pieces you're given to solve the "puzzle" all suck.

Gotta know when you can and can't using the skill before actually pressing it. Shield Charge has significantly more places where it can get stuck than Whirling Blades. Or, at least, that's my memory of the skills and I've tried both this league. Whirling Blades is unusable in vaal maps...

Unless they revert some changes, probably not going to play any builds that rely on Dash or Flame Dash outside of a starter. Attack-based movement skills are much faster and on demand, they easily make up for superior clear speed skills like Exsanguinate because they can go pack to pack faster...

I'm sure there's more, but Ferrell is the high profile example. You can condemn his sexism while appreciating his contribution to the series overall, they aren't mutually exclusive. The point of my original post is that the over the top reactionists would throw out his accomplishments. You can...

FTFY. Have you heard how he treated women? (not to downplay what he did. If the stories are true, he is objectively scum)

Sure, I got the reference, they shoved it right in our faces. The type of music itself doesn't fit with the Matrix however.

Perhaps an aspect yet unmentioned: music. There's a lot of music I discovered and still listen to this because of the Matrix Trilogy and even just their trailers. For example, Overseer - Supermoves was in the Matrix Reloaded trailer(but not the movie?!?!) and more famously remixed for the...

If they can recapture what made the first one special, I'm not sure I care how much blatant recycling and reusing they do. That said, The Matrix being special is likely specific to its release date.

You need to hit the Hydrosphere without hitting the boss as ancestral call won't target Hydrosphere. Seems like a huge pain in the ass. With default area, 3/8 balls hit a 2-size boss, so idk if it's worth it. This looks interesting, at least conceptually. I wonder if giant-sized rage...

You were self-casting Desecrate and VD? At least Bladefall can be scaled to kill white trash. Desecrate is essentially a do nothing that gets you killed for quite a few leagues now. There's a reason Hexblast was DoA. Was VD actually nerfed, aside from the helm enchant? Kitava's Thirst can...

No, you want them meta because after being nerfed into the ground, GGG will be forced to deal with their horrid design issue: unmodifiable totem setup time. Delayed killing time in modern poe usually ensures a skill is second class and sees low adoption. Traps and FR totems are just powering...

I know it's answered in the series, that's the point. I wonder if the TV series will be faithful in this aspect. Pointing out potential logical inconsistencies isn't really virtue signalling.

Got a clip of this?

If I'm assigned male at birth but self identify as female, which half of the one power do I use?

Good to know, thanks. I was being a bit generic when I said Bitcoin, but I was assuming. Is it known how much demand and supply is related to hashing?

What does it use then?

Correct. Or, they abandon this engagement model and let players play the game without a reliance on trade. Obviously this is all hypothetical, this will never happen. But I do believe we'll be seeing negative side effects from reliance on trade sooner and sooner in leagues unless they really...

It's not a problem. I have no issue with NPC trader in your hideout. Though I can't speak to its long term ramifications on the economy. But in terms of fixing "players not playing" effecting the economy, I don't think it helps much.

That works initially, but eventually the NPC runs out of items because the player isn't playing anymore or they're mispriced for current economic levels.

Perhaps inflated wasn't the right word. Prices are not what we are used to and it feels wrong to pay that price because of, in part, bitcoin. Even if that's not going away, still a hard pill to swallow.

The thing I don't get is even if I played only 1-2 weeks, I'd gladly pay "box price" every 3 months. Content wise, they are delivering at a ridiculous pace and they could easily make bank(have made bank) on casual people buying MTX because they were entertained "just" for a couple weeks. The...

What they did to the dot clusters makes no sense. There are small passives on the base tree that have as much dot multi as cluster notables. Even if dot builds needed a nerf(doubtful), that's just plain inconsistent within your own system. I haven't seen a build that should be using dot multi...

Ask the players that dropped bfa and came back for shadowlands how well that worked out. Now, obviously that's a poor analogy, I don't think GGG is mismanaging nearly as badly as Blizzard. But the point is that those players would have saved themselves a lot of angst had they just stopped...
