My guess is that they're tanky enough that they're dying from Lightning Conduit, not OOS/Storm Brand and elemental prolif.

Not sure if you're replying to me or not, but I'm not implying there are or were no issues.

Aren't quests hero-agnostic buddies? I prefer quests to buddies and I don't think there is a sane way for both to exist at the same time. Quests are already high roll enough, I don't trust Blizzard to be able to balance both. I mean, maybe if you had bought the reward track so they could hire...

Definitely less server load. But as to your second point, I doubt it's directly because of that. The faggots that make the economic part of this game so enjoyable are less incentivized to purvey said faggotry if there are fewer idiots to dupe. Those idiots have been fooled into posting "dead...

You need inpulsa for unaffected by shock unless you want to wear a shitty amulet.

Don't know of a build that would work for. @Thregin I was testing Ralakesh's Impatience to try to understand your original video. I think the testing done prepatch is accurate except that people weren't considering that Lightning Conduit would not consume the shock off a non-enemy(yourself)...

Did you ask your husband to help? He should have some experience with butts and tight spaces.

I know you're not being serious(hey, I thought you weren't playing anymore?!?!), but as detestable as it might be, the economics of this game IS a "git gud" factor. There's also a heavy dose of RNG.

That would probably sell this league ;) What lightning skill was meta previously? You gotta accept shit is going to never sell that should. Scoresby's point is not that there's some magic way to get high price items to move. The point is not to spend much time on it. And, implicitly, to...

300 life force is almost 10c, that's not bad for extra content that doesn't take much extra time to run. My plan has always been to spec into content you like doing. Put your loot filter to an amount of clicking you can stomach vs how poor you are. Pick up shit your loot filter tells you to...

Is there something with the current generation that thinks abusing bold that much is ok? I'm reading resumes for an open position and that shit is everywhere.

It's situations like this where PoE needs a competitor. The D3 weekend honeymoon is over. Reading the subreddit is like a bad relationship that both parties refuse to quit.

Yeah, I'm keeping that in mind. I haven't explicitly looked yet, but I assumed that would be expensive on a ring with non-shit affixes.

Oh, I meant repeatedly. Consume the shock(tickle them with a unlinked level 1 LC), see if it comes back with and without prolif. And definitely without moving. If generic prolif can reapply shock, a whole bunch of prepatch testing was incorrect. I plan on testing too, seems interesting...

Unspec prolif, see if it still works. I wonder if the malachai's loop and ralakesh's impatience aren't constantly interacting. As for melee range, maybe OoS would alleviate that?

Hmmm, I thought elemental prolif was tested before patch and it didn't reapply.

Shame trap or mine skill gems will never go in that helm. I tried that template with Lightning Conduit. Corpsewalker was a success, I would highly suggest it over Storm Brand or Orb of Storms for clearing. The downside was that the only way to get Lightning Conduit over 100 mana was Archmage...

That sounds difficult.

Explosive Trap is indeed strong, but I wouldn't trust that PoB for some of the details. No way Swift Assembly is 80% more. Modeling multipliers as throwing speed is dangerous as it covers up some of the QoL issues traps have. They are generally perceived as slow, partly because of the base...

Somewhat of a tangent, I think the Trickster rework was a success. I tried out Pyroclast Mines with the class. Pyroclast was a mistake, but originally was supposed to be Toxic Rain(doesn't auto target anymore!) and I was being stubborn. Hit-based mines can't take advantage of the recovery...

Melee skills don't get stuck on pebbles!

Now fix Rage Vortex's anemic clear.

Dunno, been a while since I've actually played CoC, just played around with it in PoB. Also, keep in mind that brittle was nerfed, making capping crit much harder. Maybe average investment is "only" 20M now instead.

You shouldn't need much to get started. Spam Screaming essences for the guaranteed %minion damage until you get CoC support and an open suffix. I don't think anything else is required for the weapon.

And it might be more meta now as high difficulty tiles have some seriously tanky shit and cannot be assblasted on site. Drop rates might be tweaked(what else wasn't mentioned in the patch notes?!?!). The plebs that cannot think for themselves and have quit the league might have...

Hopefully they make sloggy rares much less sloggy. There's nothing in this game that makes "strategic" long fights with rares feel rewarding(not talking about the loot). Especially when the rest of the game teaches you that monsters closing to melee range is a mistake.

Which one?

Lot of demand for it at this point in the league. It might drop in a few weeks if it follows the same trend as last league. But who knows with this botched start?

What does freedom of speech have to do with any of this?

Exactly, turn those streamers that sperg out on purpose on themselves. Their own viewer base would ensure Quin or Asmongold never play again.

Sounds like GGG needs a Gaming Weekend system.

I doubt Chris was directly involved with the banning. Some petulant streamer is banned via blanket company policy, do you keep him banned or backtrack it?

But the clear is still 1-2 setup, right? I'm trying to avoid that with Corpsewalker boots. And since that means Corpse Pact, I thought I'd throw on Kitava's Thirst and try to maximize cast speed from it.

Feel like I'm missing something. The only way I can get Lightning Conduit's mana cost above 100(for Kitava's Thirst) is with Archmage. It results in a build that pumps out 6M dps in absolute garbage gear. But I had to sacrifice a ton of defenses for it. Really feels like Aegis is required...

Imagine loot being so bad you can't even get banned for exploiting it.

Doubt the full story is being told. But kinda hard to care. That asshole tried to monetize a spreadsheet.

There is no logic, it's almost completely spiteful. I play this game to tool around in PoB and try out cool interactions and builds. GGG's overreliance on the economy providing a critical mass of esoteric items leads to mega juicers having far too much influence. For example, it was near end...

I can't opine on the changes yet. I got a late start and had to scrap my starter due to an incorrect assumption. I'm glad mega juicers are getting fucked too. I wouldn't be surprised if mega juicers in a functioning economy are actually good for us casuals. Either way, I hate it. Other...

In that regard, kiting and tossing, not much different than any other self cast ranged build, no? To be fair, I don't like those builds either. I posted a Toxic Rain Minder build earlier in this thread and then to my surprise, found that it does NOT target nearby monsters. I logged back onto...

The concept of totems, I don't mind. The delay is what I hate. Give mines another try. When it was meta, lots of idiots played it wrong, myself included. Minefield support got buffed in 3.17, mines feel great with it once you get some throwing speed.
