I'm not really committed to the quality of books 4 and 5 by themselves. Worse than 1-3, better than seasons 6-8, was the point.

Can you see shit at night?

Asshai did not blow up, Valyria did. Asshai is basically Westeros' equivalent of the Far East. 3 of the best books ever written(in this genre) followed by 2 above average books followed by a TV show that ended with some combination of a wet fart and a death gurgle is what made seasons 6-8 so...

Of course everything is interconnected to some varying degree. What was implicit in my argument is that the effect HH has on the game is not inline with how many people get to reasonably use it. I would say monopolizing certain parts of the market are more examples of problems with the game...

Why is that "lol?"? It sucks that no one that defends HH wants to have this argument honestly.

Take a look on poe.ninja, some of the puzzles you're pondering have already been figured out. Kitava's Thirst and Bladefall/Blade Blast do not care about your cast speed since Kitava's Thirst is chance per cast. The interaction you need to be mindful of is Lingering Blades. You can easily run...

All sources of increased minion damage apply. I'm guessing you're playing around with black cane and bladefall blade blast? Black Cane is kinda pob warrior. @Xevy was right that those phantasms die to a stiff breeze. Where you want that damage most, they aren't going to be reliable. They are...

Nobody has said that.

Thank you for making my point for me. Think of the ways the last year of content could have been designed without HH. Simulacrum could have been Endless Ledge 2.0, that would have been pretty cool. I disagree about HH being moot in currency farming. It allows you to farm harder maps earlier...

You're a special kind of stupid If you can't understand what was being heavily inferred above. I took what you wrote and agreed with it. And then reinforced it by saying they likely did the same to Simulacrum before even releasing it. But anyway, now that we've established that content is...

That's a fair point and I'll admit entirely speculation on my part. I can't recall any confirmation from GGG that they didn't like how common the aforementioned was. I remember a time when getting a 6L was a grueling task and worthy of character progression. I mean, technically, it still is...

"around" has many meanings and you purposefully chose the wrong one. Please let me know when you're ready to have an honest conversation instead of being a disingenuous cunt.

Please point out where that was said.

Luckily for people who generate a non-insignificant chunk of the currency and items in the economy, aurabots and HH aren't exclusive! I have no idea where you're going with this whataboutism with aurabots. Aurabots, group currency farming, and even just party play itself are issues in PoE, but...

So now you're equating a group member to one item but saying that item shouldn't be nerfed?

That's kinda the point, they're designing content around a novelty item. Pretty sure Delirium encounter was affected by this. Can your shitty Mjolner Raider clear 100% Delirious T19 triple Beyonded 6-man maps?

I don't see how those are similar. Boss drops rarely fuel the economy since access to them is gated by drops. Thus, kill speed is a small percentage of that content. Compared to bossing, maps are basically unrestricted. Thus, speeding up clear speed with HH can greatly distort the economy.

Attack instead of phys. Phys gets you cheap explodey chests. Which, personally I don't care about, but I'm pretty sure tailwind/elusive boots and explodey chests are fueling their reaction to not make this core right now.

Thanks! Anyone else see the similarities or am I completely off?

Who was the highlighter guy back in the day? I keep thinking OP is that guy.

Hope of a vaccine and deaths due to inadequate healthcare since hospitals are over capacity are the counterpoints to this. That said, I don't like that there isn't major discussion for selective lockdowns. Quarantine people at risk while letting healthy individuals work. Tune the lockdown...

Pretty emphatic meh, honestly. There were a few things they can learn from this system, like the value of targeted annuls and exalts. But the system overall was quite rough. Setting up and managing your garden is beyond gay. You can harvest long streaks of T1 plots without finding valuable...

Better be the good version. Been a while since I showered mobs with meatballs.

Which version of molten strike?

Someone mentioned a vertical monitor for programming work, can anyone chime in on that alone? Worth the setup? I have a the standard laptop - ultrawidescreen - regular widescreen for my work and home setup. I'm trying to think how a vertical widescreen would fit into both work and home setups...

Why would I want to turn into an uber-cringe weeb?

Bottled Faith is probably imbalanced in terms of power and ubiquity. But in terms of cost(5-15 exalts) it's probably a perfect chase item.

My guess is that they wasted all their brain power on the game's title.

Statistically, you're correct. Optically, it's essentially Headhunter. Among those most visible(streamers), it's being played at a decent rate. Octavian mentioned that he had asked his twitch chat whether Headhunter should exist. The answer was overwhelmingly no. He seemed a bit surprised...

The core of the deck is PokeIt, Frost Nova, Tortollan Pilgrim, Potion of Illusion, and some minion that deals damage from hand. The rest of the deck is quite fungible. The deck will be nerfed or warp the meta fast enough to consistently kill before turn 8. The latter will likely happen any...

Yeah, it's not a great situation. I'd rather play against priest than that deck.

Of course it will, but hopefully they won't remove cluster jewels to do it. I had the same reaction to herald stacking and I'm kinda annoyed it's still around. But this kind of thing shouldn't knee-jerk cluster jewels. Path of Exile: Warlords of Wraeclast launches on September 18th.

You need damage not from the board.

Breaking shit is part of the appeal of this game. Granted, I don't have the time anymore nor am big brained enough(mostly the latter) to come up with this esoteric shit. But, when someone else does, I certainly can understand it and appreciate it. Herald stacking was a bad way to break the...

That's why I like secondary content. I don't have the time to play out tech decisions to a large enough sample size. Let others do it for me and I'll copy their decks.

IDK, I think the meta is pretty good. I'm playing Pure Paladin ;) More seriously, I'd support a better CCG if I thought it existed. That might have been MTGA, but I'm a white male, so I can't play it. Note that "better" also means secondary content that's not the game itself. Deck...

You get enough flowers to use on your T1s?

So, you're saying you're Rich Evans?

So, Hearthstone's most recent expansion required 5 balance patches to knock Demon Hunter(class introduced in said expansion) off the top spot in the meta. And if a new expansion wasn't around the corner, it's debatable whether they could reclaim it yet again. So, while I get that 5 patches and...
