No. Essentially, baubles, Hillock, and prefix. If the modifier doesn't make the amount bigger on the actual item in the game, poisonous concoction won't be affected by it. Vague and unintuitive, the GGG classic.

Sapping is getting additional tiers of modifiers, it can go up to 60%. Without that, Saturated is better and AFAIK, not getting more tiers. I doubt poisonous concoction will count as using the flask, so it shouldn't trigger the downside. I'd like to know if you run 2 life flasks, can you...

To be fair to @Penance, that data mentions nothing of the reservation change itself. Hovering over the gem itself does though. @Arbitrary One of the masteries adds +3 strike range. Supposedly they added some to the tree, but I haven't investigated a strike skill build since pob was updated...

This special was awesome. My wife is generally supportive of the alphabet community. I don't think she sees nearly enough of the above. Maybe I see too much? Either way, I biased her opinion by discussing the controversary before either of us watched it. Afterwards, we both essentially...

It does strike as form over function. The league is about demons, so it has to be corruption! They probably could have just reworked Synthesized items with far less complication.

If the league mechanics requires near-copying so many base currencies, shouldn't the league mechanic itself be questioned? I feel like I'm watching some novice programmer copy functions and classes because that's less work instead of elegantly refactoring so that common code only exists in one...

My guess is that you were going to get that regardless.

I'm assuming there was a rejection letter with the gift card?

Imagine that shield with a certain wand from a certain recent not-core league.

I expect the absolute best items to pair with the squire will be unique. 3 to 6 links is much more impactful than 6 to 8 or 9.

I see a common theme in the responses and generally I agree. The problem solving aspect of crafting can be fun. Puting that plan in motion is what sucks. Would rather reroll yet another build because I know I can do that myself with pob and little reliance on others. Crafting has too much...

I'll gamble if I got the mats already. I don't see much purpose to buying mats to gamble unless the market is fucked up.

Single target, you don't use ED while clearing. You can add Blight too if you feel like standing still.

Valuable currency is given away at that point. Or sits and rots out of spite if no takers. I don't see a point to crafting for crafting's sake. I want to craft to progress my character and say "I made this". If I'm done with league, those motivations are also obviated.

Agreed. Expensive crafting currency and trade economy are nearly exclusive. How can you properly balance and incentivize players when most players will sell their orbs chaos and up? So, instead of "get excited for this new rare currency", it's "get excited for this drop you'll sell to...

No one's going to use that, scourging/corrupting an item will be the last step. I mean, that was already the case. But kinda silly to see item currency design that ends up incentivizing to NOT use it. Disclaimer: unless this is counterintuitively common.

Last time I played Bane, the major issue I had was feelsbad stragglers. Stuff outside the Bane aoe was not reliable killed by Occultist pops. Having to cast Bane again just for few mobs after killing most of the screen had this weird feeling. I think that notable has been buffed since then...

Xarpolis doesn't find out about shit until Marvel makes a movie about it.

People that @ you in conversations in which you are the only two participants.

Arming time can be frustrating. There are ways to eliminate it but the cost is quite heavy as instantly armed traps no longer trigger targeting enemies. Switch to mines if you don't like the arming time. Seismic is indeed a lot of damage that mines won't have. Traps won't have leech. There...

Exsanguinate mines/traps will be a good starter. Also, very popular. Pretty sure I'm doing poison flask tossing. Though, I'm only considering it because of pathfinder's poison prolif. Why wasn't ignite prolif popular with explosive concoction last league?

The most redeeming thing about Mercenaries is that even people that play Hearthstone still have standards for wasting their time.

Some day, I'll own a wand or claw skin. Petty bitching aside, those challenge rewards look pretty good. 36 pet feels almost like a waste, that should be something you can slap on a golem or spectres. I might have to buy a supporter pack, they've made a lot good decisions this patch. Because...

Detonate Dead in Poet's Pen/The Squire and Desecrate on Spellslinger or Kitava's Thirst. Nothing else came to mind, maybe they got over their itch to make everything 1-2 combos. Might be a bit awkward to contact a pack and all you initially do is cast Desecrate. But once you get your rhythm...

Mjolner needs something besides cyclone as a trigger. Poets Pen looks fun. That said, I'm not sure what 1-2 combos are left to abuse in a trigger setup since blade blast got taken out back.

They'll do it eventually. Points to them if they rename him Green Jesus?

Last league was pretty low on new high impact bugs. Xevy just couldn't pass up an opportunity to display he is better than thou, even with his misuse of thin skin.

Right, I guess my point is that the hydrosphere and tornado won't add to the projectile craziness. Or at least, not much. Tornado does look like it will be good for single target.

All of that is snipers mark, right? I mean, I guess if you had some forking, but not sure why you would.

They did get rid of that. It's been months since div cards were purchasable.

This is what second monitor and/or booze is for.

Removing prophecy is conjecture for future leagues, not this one.

Where did comparison get started? It's nowhere near StS.

Yep. I guess I'm not seeing much of a niche over hydrosphere.

Could work, you might end up front loading all your triggers before being able to warcry again. Probably still starting Consecrated Path Totems Chieftan. Poisonous Concoction Pathfinder looks interesting. Poison prolif solves a lot of issues Explosive Concoction had. Still not sure I want...

Have fun casting a 0.75s spell with an attack based build.

I wonder if Perandus getting removed lends weight to my theory that they hit critical mass with assets. Even with half-assed texture streaming, they can't just keep adding assets to the game. What gets removed for Ultimatum?

They nerfed recovery on Trickster too. The replacement for Ghost Dance is hilarious, not many people are going to play Trickster. But, my guess life regen changes are this, just weren't mentioned in the manifesto. Problem: A few specific mechanics grant a lot of Life Regeneration, especially...

You already need that. 1500 vaal orb and 1500 fusings for the bench craft. I doubt tainted fusings will be worth 1 vaal and 1 fusing, but for what you wanted to spend the former on(jackpot double corrupts), the difference in expense is probably inconsequential.
