Just using the ability was shit. Having to keep your mouse right next to your character to exploit the double swing was fucking stupid. They made attempts to fix the pathing but it was never that good in that respect until 3.7.

Wife: Person A and Person A's husband will be coming over for dinner after they get out of work. The husband has chosen they/them for pronouns, so now I have to ask what "they" refers to in that sentence. I know what you're going to say, the conjugation on the verb should 95% of the time clear...

Wait a minute...reddit did something good? Also, I agree about old cyclone being quite aidsy. I put up with it for a few builds somehow, but having a serviceable cyclone existing in D3 at the same time was especially galling. The problem I always come back to for prolif builds is sustain...

I imagine Beacon of Ruin was nerfed because the game can no longer handle the amount of calculations involved with prolif. Speaking of performance and scapegoats...I want my fucking shatter sound back. I'm voting with my wallet, no more supporter packs until they fix this. I don't care if it...

Did you solve the issue with your minions killing shit fast making it hard to maintain them?

Yeah, that's what I expected. Just always be spinning with Cyclone 30% less movement speed. Trade one inefficiency for the other.

How do you deal with the dead time with CWC? It doesn't sound like much, but 0.35s of nothing happening after you start channeling is pretty jarring since, as far as I know, nothing else operates this way. Every other skill or trigger is immediate activation followed by "cooldown".

Anyone know if Greater Spell Echo from Pledge of Hands has the same tag restrictions that regular Spell Echo has? I'm guessing so, otherwise CoC PoH would have been a thing already.

Someone else tried earlier and said they were still shit. I would guess the max block dude will give you issues.

Can you still get your Elder orb that way? I usually kill Uber Elder then uncomplete my T16s. I used to uncomplete my T15s too, but I've never had to run my shaped T15 since I started doing that, just end up selling them in bulk. The changes to master missions made this even better as no more...

Weird that Uber Elder is 1 of the 4 you didn't do. First league I've played a summoner, more enjoyable than I anticipated. My baseline for comparing builds is blood aqueducts and Slave Drivers/Zombies got 400m XP/hour there. Tied for my best with Static Strike, but that ability has some real...

A corrupted Soul Tether with 15% all res was 4ex last league, it's known. It's ok but not as great as it sounds. The ES degen really starts to cut into your leech once you get a decent amount of ES. Playing a Cyclone Slayer last league, it was quite easy to see my leech fighting with the...

Wait...what other kind of bottleneck would software have?

Perhaps this build is better for a mana guardian. Looking at some of the minion-based Guardian builds, I don't understand why very few of them pick up Harmony of Purpose. Aren't Frenzy charges really powerful for minions?

That wastes a weapon slot because the balls repeat to the same location?

I thought that was an attack. How would PoH help?

Getting cucked by your wife can be pretty powerful writing fuel if harnessed correctly. I'm going to spare the thread pictures of Anthony Burch.

Skitterbots don't hit, so they're out. Holy Relic requires you to attack for it to cast holy nova, so they're out too. Don't need 5, so I guess I'll get a spectre. Is there a utility one beside carnage chieftans? I don't need charges as Guardians supply that already. Onslaught I get from...

What's a good summon and forget minion? Looking for something to trigger Guardian's Radiant Crusade and Unwavering Crusade without having to reserve mana for something like Herald of Purity. Can I use spectres this way? Just want him to attack shit and never die, don't care about his dps.

IIRC, Mr. Wizard Z. Hawk has at least one active warrant. His boss probably knows this. Or at least, hires these types of people and knows he can get away with fucking them more than usual. Legal recourse might not be an option.

I tried out Scourge Arrow last night. It's a bleh middle ground if you really don't feel like swapping gems. It does well in tight linear maps but the spread isn't as good as Tornado Shot. The single target is really annoying, too many clicks.

@Thregin more TS vs Barrage ruminations. IIRC my TS mechanics correctly, you have to aim your TS behind a target for it to be able to be hit by the initial volley and then the resulting secondary arrows. Both of these hits represent the spells you want to proc, so in order to keep them on...

lulz, sorry about that You're right about empower for magma orb. I might have to reconsider that. But I really like Inspiration. If phys% and fire% conflict, I'll have find something else. That last prefix slot is kinda of a crap shoot.

Tempered Mind almost always goes in witch gem slot. The pathing is specific though, you basically can't path through the middle of the witch area. Helps to pick up some of the other stuff along the way, like power charge half wheel and an extra curse. See the PoB I posted for reference. With...

Tempered Mind is great for accuracy, just gotta change your pathing a bit. Crit chance against shocked enemies is not a bad idea, I'll look into that. So much of Incursion gear was forgettable. What do you think is holding this build back for bossing? It certainly has the dps. The defenses...

My planned build: Are skitterbois better than zealotryfor this build? He uses Barrage likely because it's "good enough" for clearing. IIRC, you could definitely feel the dropoff in single target with TS. I too like TS for clearing. Do you feel you need Slower Proj and Barrage for anything...

Is this Mathil's build? Currently leveling one but an Assassin instead. The thing that annoyed me the most about the build last league was crit inconsistency. Kinda like area skills that leave straggler that effectively make you cast twice as much. I'm shooting for 100% crit on my trigger...

"Trigger a socketed skill" enchant on your weapon is a pretty good place to stick your curse, desecrate, and offering.

What did she get for you?

Stash tabs are on sale this weekend, I think I'm going to buy some quads and try the aggressive bulk pricing scheme. I *think* the general idea is fill a tab with rares, price it at a certain point, and then bump it down when you fill up the next tab. Questions: How many quad tabs should I to...

4.0 ain't coming for a while. Blighted maps have had dismal rewards from what I've seen.

Blight seems like a step down in terms of loot however. Maybe that's good in terms of overall economy, the game feels a bit too easy in terms of progression. But you should want to do the league mechanic as opposed to just more maps.

Host guy needs to be replaced, he has no business being in front of a camera. Good research and asks excellent questions but he's terrible getting a decent conversation flowing. Whether that's because the editor chops the footage to shit or he just has no ability how to follow up...idk maybe...

Where's the cottage cheese?

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2638027 Fucking hell. :mad:

Congrats on your ~3.5ex?

Looks like Cobra Lash is the meta choice so far. I see a decent chunk of Deadeye Cobra Lash players stacking a ton of cold damage. Some of them are being creative and using stuff like Vile Toxins and Inspirational. But only a few of them are using Gloomfang...seems like that would be an auto...

Considering his predilections, maybe he'll pull a Carradine.

Respecced from Scourge Arrow Trickster to HoWA Wild Strike. It *seems* to have the old chain range of old arc, so it's been pretty fun. Being melee hasn't been that much of an issue with blight, just use Ancestral Call to stay out of range. I would definitely recommend for non-targetting room...
