    Converted to accuracy stack molten strike finally last night. Gear is pretty rough but it's functional. Easy like 300% damage increase over the nebulochs. Obviously lose a bunch of mitigation, but so far it's more than made up for it in terms of just making shit dead faster and the recovery from...

    Am I understanding immortal ambition correctly that it doesn't matter if I have 0 ES - it will won't remove leech at full life? It doesn't actually require me to have some nominal amount of ES does it?

    DD, not VD. The delay on self casting VD and the projectiles hunting things down would be pretty brutal yea lol. I think ultimately I'm pretty down on this league after having put a pretty normal amount of time in to it for me. The issue is that the nerfs/changes have really kneecapped the way...

    I've never minded the 1-2 combo sort of gameplay. Played a ton of blade blast and detonate dead over the years. Both of those spells were propped up nearly entirely by being hilariously overtuned though, and after the various nerfs I don't think either is playble. Is there any playable self...

    Trade is indeed super fucking weird right now. The middle-tier market for items in the like 1-5ex range is basically non-existent, the only things anyone is listing or buying is like 5c rares and 50ex maven orb gear. The site is also feels like it's busted again somehow. Its like a 10:1 ratio...

    You can SSF forbidden rite totems all the way to maven without any trouble, so I wouldn't worry too much about gear acquisition cause the league is winding down or whatever.

    Car ?'s

    Yea part of the issue currently is I have no indoor parking available and live in Chicago, so buying anything "flashier" than something at the Mustant/Camero level is likely to have crime-related issues just parking on the street overnight. Realistically until my living situation changes and I...

    I don't think they are all that far off doing something pretty significant with the loot. The system already exists in grand heists - the alternate base type items in those roll extremely will and at least somewhat "intelligently". Obviously they roll far, far too well for those types of things...

    Yea I don't have to buy right now - I've got a boring ass Kia Soul that is 100% paid for already and works just fine, I'm just sick of it really. I was hoping to see this nonsense in the car market let up by the end of the year, but you may be right that it'll be significantly longer than that...

    Heh I looked at M2's briefly, but the used market is such a train wreck right now it's just not an option. Anything under ~35k miles used is north of 50k and they quickly go up from there for recent model years or sub ~10k miles. The used market in general is so bad I pretty quickly gave up any...

    Anyone own a recent-ish Mustang GT, the V8 not that faggy ecoboost model. If so, how is it? I'm in the market for something nice-ish currently and my options for anything decently powered with a manual are not very large unfortunately, and the more I look the more the Mustang looks like a...

    The one I have on my raider near the phase acro bit is alchemists genius/20 cold res/60 ele damage and then a couple weird wasted minion nodes and a crit node i don't need, but even still getting that much out of a single jewel socket is pretty hard to beat. Spent probably 2 exalts worth of...

    You don't even play this game lol, stop trying to act like you understand a thing about it. Literally no one buys those via discord trade, it's just a bunch of spergs that think they've rolled a good one and are gonna be mega rich now cause it says 5% chance to deal double damage on a couple...

    I mean, both things can be true lol. They are a weird obtuse mess, but also are 100% OP as fuck and easily accessible to anyone playing trade. For like 30c for a jewel plus the cost of a few divines you can easily slot in a jewel worth like 10 passive points, sometimes far more.

    This shit was great. Felt a tad short and was kinda light on the backstory/motivation of everyone hating the Witchers so much, which is fine if you already know the lore, but I could see it being a pretty big ??? for new viewers given the runtime/pace and lack of bakstory.

    Yea there's no actual datamine of what the seeds do unfortunately, so trying to trade them is just a shitshow of screenshots/discord streams. I personally would never bother, much rather just throw divines at them randomly until I get one that's "good enough".

    Because the lord of the rings nonsense is in mainline magic, IE modern. I could give a fuck less what ridiculous secret lairs they print for commander fags. I guess it kinda sucks for all 11 people that still play legacy?

    Admittedly I haven't used a trade macro in several years now, so maybe they are better than they were back when it was the shitty AHK version. I also never really feel the need to have one, which I suppose is probably pretty damning of their itemization as it stands - the fact that I basically...

    Keep an eye out for this thing if you're doing rotting temple. It's an entire map-sized zone of only runic monsters, and they all have all your remnant bonuses you blew up in the log book. I got 4 legion emblems worth of splinters out of it cause I had 70% for runic monsters to drop timeless...

    Apparently trying any form of SST right now was a huge mistake heh. Prices on everything even sorta SST-adjacent are absolutely nuts. I don't think I've ever seen hatred conversion watchers eye's this expensive in my life. Guess we're sticking with my flaccid trinity version until I get bored.

    On the fattest bosses like kitava or the trio it's quite a lot, like 3-5 per projectile? It's way, way worse vs anything human sized though, and is very random depending on where they move. They can sometimes talk in to a couple extra hits, but I wouldn't count on anything more than a single...

    It's not about jobifying PoE, it's quite the opposite of that. Unless you're a mega no lifer the best thing you can improve upon in PoE is optimizing the play time you do have. If you can only play a few hours a week it's insanely important that you use that time well, or else you'll never...

    Come on dude, you're smarter than this. Or at least you often claim to be. Being "good" at PoE is largely being good at maximizing the efficiency of your available play time.
