    I guess it depends on "easily". Can you link a PoB or poe.ninja page? Please, not that FAFuckGaming fuck. Self-admitted pump and dump asshole. Team of assholes, from what I understand, actually.

    Yeah, I'm planning on using two of the seeker notables for brand. What makes Unleash Arc better than Storm Brand or Orb of Storms? Both of the latter can easily push that much dps without being constant drains on your mana. Well, OoS will, but you should play that with Trickster so you can...

    Aura effect stacking isn't wild, just broken and stupid. And boring as fuck. What's the wilder stuff you've been seeing? Gave Seeker Runes a try tonight, brands are quite fun once you build up enough attachment range.

    Sounds perfect! Has anyone tried Seeker Runes? If you keep the brands alive via recall, supposedly they get ridiculous attachment range. How much does this help with clear? My hang up with brands has that even super juiced, brand recall's cooldown has always been too long. With a giant...

    Yeah, I might go CI. I did a rough draft PoB of LL Ivory Tower, wasn't enthused by it honestly.

    What's a good medium cluster jewel for Archmage OoS Trickster? I can't find any that fit the build. What amount of mana cost of their main skill have people been stopping at for Archmage? I was thinking half since I get it back pretty fast as a Trickster. But I'm not sure how to best balance...

    KVM Switches

    Yep, IT director confirmed that split tunneling is forbidden by DFARS. Looks like some kind of switch is required. I might just hookup the monitors to both inputs directly as that seems like it would be the most problematic. Any reason not to get a USB 3.0 switch at this point? Assume a fair...

    They see tunneling as a security risk. We have a larger issue where half the company works on government contracts that falls under DFARS. IT has been trying to keep the other half secured away the CUI stuff. According to IT, the ssh tunnel doesn't fit in this scheme. I don't know the...

    No can do. I need to VPN into my company's network to do most of my work, which takes the laptop off my local network. An ssh tunnel fixes that problem but IT itching real bad to remove that.

    I figured this deserved its own thread because of the increased amount of people working from home. Work gave me a laptop and told me to WFH. I'm using my peripherals because they're better and I don't have the desk space nor motivation to deal with two discrete sets monitors, keyboards, and...

    Anyone have proof it's actually good? I couldn't pob anything special aside from 90% max res. Which ain't bad, but no one goes out their way for it now.

    Yeah, I don't think he's maximizing it properly. And even properly maximized, it might be meh. I was thinking a spell since you're obviously going LL. Build flexibility is so limited since you can easily eat 8 gem slots on auras. You definitely want the purities. You can cap your max res...

    Prepare to be whelmed. I'm still learning how best to tweak this mechanic, especially since PoB(fork or not) doesn't parse increase aura effect notables. You can get around that easily, sure, but it makes really hard to determine whether spending all those point on notables is truly worth it...

    You are right, I tend to underbudget my defenses. It's quite common for me to go back to the drawing board when I get into high red tier maps. I'll take a look at this later tonight. Herald build with for medium cluster jewels looks mighty tempting though.

    Sure, but what notables? I couldn't find any that gave damage increases comparable to nodes(~3% per point) on the tree. I liked the idea behind the blind one, but the percentage isn't high enough to be reliable.

    It's a fun bit of schadenfreude to see him get worked up over the tiniest bit of Diablo news and then let down. There are certainly worse streamers though, even within the ARPG genre. Quin69, for example.

    And this is why it's important to test builds. <-------This idiot thought Second Wind would give Brand Recall another charge. I'm still going to see the build through, but I'm less hopeful on a ~1.4s cooldown Brand Recall being enough. Magna Eclipsis might be required.

    Here's a level 80 character with nearly 3M "Standard Boss" dps in almost all 5-10c gear, 5L with chain support. I think I had to cheat on the boots to cover resists. I might have to cheat a bit more to cover dexterity. My chief concern is the defense kinda suck, dodge/evasion wise. Mana...

    If you want pops, I'd suggest Inpulsa and maybe Storm's Gift. Honestly, I still have to test this all out, so take that as you may. What about slapping chain on your Storm Brand?

    Path of Exile

    Crit is your answer, unfortunately. EO just doesn't hold a candle to it. There's too many easy non-passive sources of crit chance and crit damage, like a Diamond Flask, to not consider going crit if your build can. Poisons and Ignites are about the only places where crit doesn't seem worth...

    That's my biggest doubt with going OoS. Brand lets you pay attention to boss mechanics.

    That guy died on a white map. I get the synergies, he just did a terrible job of showcasing them. I guess if you're going OoS, Trickster might make more sense than Hierophant. How does Arc fit into this though?

    No PoB yet(at work), but I theorycrafted an almost-starter set yesterday that had 3M DPS per brand. I made some poor assumptions in that Cloak of Defiance and Fevered Mind are not starter items, so I'm going back to the drawing board tonight to fix those. Also, having to use base version of...

    Don't have one yet, just been reading up on it at work and pob updated just today. You're probably farther along in theorycrafting and playtesting than I am. But, yes, you are correct, that is a general downside of Ivory Tower. Arcane Cloak does help mitigate that.
