    What ascendancy are you? I'm consider berserker for higher dps, attack speed, and movement speed or slayer for huge aoe. My thought is that berserker with close combat and nutty leap slam attack speed could compensate for the ~40 radius cyclone radius. Kinda like pulse leap pulse leap pulse...

    For those playing cyclone, what radius do you get your cyclone to get good clear speed and more radius feels like it would be less useful? Basically, at what point does increasing the radius start to hit diminishing returns? 40 radius? 50 radius? 60? @Vorph seems weird, I'd have to try it out...

    Did you play Winter Orb at all? It's a lot like WO but with a tad bit of aiming. Every pack you channel ~2 pods at the pack, which for me is 0.333 seconds, and then move through them while the pods bloom and kill them. Glowy boi cleans up stragglers. Sometimes you have to flick a pod back...

    So, I've finished up my "fuck around with a bunch of builds" phase of the league. Very good job by GGG, I had 5 builds to try this league, 6 if you count physical impale cyclone as different, in terms of gameplay, from CoC Ice Nova. So far I've tried: ED/Contagion Trickster Scourge Arrow...

    Inspired Learning's buffs stack with HH's. Basically, for each Inspired Learning, you get a duplicate of a rare's affix.

    HH, to me, has been a pointless luxury item. It's an item for tryhards to tryharder. It would take me a full league to farm the currency for one and I'm usually done with a league far before that, include putzing around on a few builds after getting 37 challenges. It doesn't help you defeat...

    Cap the buff stack at 5 or some low number. Newest overwrites oldest except shroudwalker always stays. Change retroactive.

    Nah, he seems to accrue money and character progression faster than what's reasonable even for a streamer that plays as much as he does.

    Not directly, no. Scourge Arrow, twice already, has been adjusted mid league for bug fixes. The MTX is foreshadowing for next league.

    I started off pretty young trying to teach myself C/C++, I would agree that it's a pretty rough introduction to an unforgiving language, especially before C++11. Since learning Python, a lot of concepts that I should have understood in C/C++ fell into place. That said, programmers should...

    I haven't been entirely satisfied putting blueberries in waffles. The taste is fine, but the water content throws off the whole recipe. Speaking of waffles, I can recommend using half almond flour. The extra fat makes for a really crisp waffle and you don't notice the "grainy" texture from...

    Flesh and Stone is definitely nice. Malevolence, Flesh and Stone, Discipline with a bit of reservation reduction and you're good to go. I will agree that ED/Contagion is definitely boring. It completely fails that "visceral" feel that Chris mentioned in his GDC talk. I don't like Blight...

    Yeah, nevermind on that. CwC doesn't cast immediately and then go on cooldown like CoC, making clearing with it mega gay.

    Of course, that's why you use cyclone and cwc to cast it.

    Oh, self cast, yeah fuck that. I totally read that as cyclone coc, which is what I'm playing right now. Would recommend. Flicker Strike might be bugged currently, consume extra charges.

    Glass cannon? You can build it to be relatively tanky. A bit one-shotty since it's mostly evasion, but certainly not a glass cannon. I'm going to try this next.

    I suspect the numbers you are quoting are assuming you were "exploiting" the instant double hit you get when you started cycloning pre 3.7. If you held your cursor right next to your character, you essentially got 3x effective attack speed. I can't imagine that's still the case with the base...

    It you crit twice within the cooldown, you won't crit again until almost the length of the cooldown. For example, if your attack time is 0.14 and your cooldown is 0.15, your worst case is that you will crit three times in a row for 0.42 seconds but only cast 2 spells, effectively wasting 0.12...

    So don't play exactly what he's playing at exactly the same time. Every so often, that means you can't play a build because it has a build-defining unique. Certainly a negative, but it doesn't really happen often enough to get that grouchy. Next-level POE is being able to take someone else's...

    Mathil has a "guide" on that type of build. Looks powerful for this type of content, just like ED/Contagion. But also like ED/Contagion, it's the 1->2 setup for every pack. May sound trivial just reading, but it's more annoying than it seems and animation canceling has made it even worse...
