    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...

    Ok, I get how asbestos itself is dangerous. I just want to know if my tiles should be detaching near the seams in some places. At what age does that normally start happening?

    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.

    Does asbestos have to do with the glue wearing out? I have no idea how long these sort of things are supposed to last.

    It's definitely limited in skill selection. But it offers up an interesting way to build your character. Unless you've played mana guardian, it was very rare to want mana nodes and affixes. And even then, they were just defensive. Now they are means to both offense and defense. Also, brands...

    Built in 1972, but I don't think the tile is original. The garage was originally a garage and it was converted to a workspace I think back in 2000 and tiled then. But I can't confirm this. I just don't see a reason for a garage to be tiled.

    How long do typical concrete tiles last? I have no idea how old they are, I suspect ~20 years when the previous owners converted the garage to extra space. Some of them are starting to come up. Is this just the glue starting to wear out or something more nefarious? Note that I get ground...

    Shame you can't spellslinger ED/Contagion. My feeling is they put a bunch of balancing work into spellslinger for there to be any "wow!" combo. Years of Poet's Pen and CoC have likely paved the way for this. Archmage support seems much more promising.

    Yeah, not much you can do there. Chaos DOTs don't get faster mods like bleed and poison do. The opposite would be to up your defenses so you can live through mobs that long. CI and that cluster notable that hinders on chaos hit might help.

    If you're confident a pack of mobs will eventually die in X skill activations, you should move on. Sucks for looting, but your filter will become more strict soon. Phasing from a quartz flask and Dash help a ton for getting around mobs that are going to die but haven't died yet. But, I assume...

    I've found that doing a back and forth wiping pattern allows for looting, but this really only works in open layout maps. My dps isn't such that I can clear the whole map with delirium anyway, so there's little cost to going back a bit to loot.

    Barrage was acting funny with Poet's Pen last league, proccing much more than frenzy. IIRC, that was not the case before 3.9. My guess is the implementation of Barrage Support changed the skill gem too. Unsurpising if Poet's Pen and Spellslinger share some base code.

    Anyone playing ED/Contagion? I decided to start Toxic Rain Trickster and it's odd how I have almost zero motivation to reroll. I usually reroll ~5 times a league because I think another build is better or I just want to try out stuff. I think ED/Contagion *might* be better. But I'm also...

    This league seems designed for a shoot and scoot type of build. Reminds me a bit of high GR grinding as a DH in D3. Except the rewards are kinda shitty sometimes. I hope they scale up better in higher maps, I'm just starting into yellows. Chaos recipe seems pretty good this league.

    Why caustic arrow and raider? Onslaught doesn't benefit caustic arrow's dot damage, right?

    Both will probably be good. Persistent dots are going to be good for the league mechanic. I find bladestorm good for leveling but annoying at clearing maps. Toxic rain handles the latter better but it's not awesome itself either.

    Hey guys, you want that thing that *NOBODY* has ever played Elementalist for? It's now on boots with additional downsides! This has potential. Likely limited by 4 socket however. Willing to bet this is basically a prototype for a support gem.

    I don't think focus is required for ice nova and fb. Basically, it's very similar to any other 1-2 build. ED/Contagion, mines, etc.

    Cyclone does not need -15 mana cost chests. You can negate cyclone's mana cost with a couple ring enchants. You might need the amulet enchant too.

    Changes looks good. I disagree with Feeding Frenzy Support Now gives minions from supported skills 25% chance to grant Feeding Frenzy to you on hit at gem level 1, up to 44% at gem level 20 (previously 25% at all gem levels). No longer causes minions from supported skills to deal more damage...
