It's boring from a loot perspective. MF loot itself is boring and caps out quickly, so your character's progression caps out quickly. If you can get around that by MFing and progressing on the same character, you gotta swap gear frequently and you character is still at least somewhat of a...

I doubt they'll do that with sulfite. Use movement flask with LW, solves speed issues. More specifically, even without the flask it can't be slower than unearth/bodyswap unless you're teleporting a distance in which you can get off 3+ attacks while the duration resolves. The flask should...

How much did you pay for that open-face sandwich?

I'm considering crafting(!!!) a belt because the one I want just plain doesn't exist. Crystal(doesn't have to be crystal) shaped belt with +ES, increased ES%, increased mana/es/cooldown recovery rate. I can't figure out what that cooldown recovery rate affix is categorized as. Speed? If so...

@Kythik and I were discussing Indigon builds last night, so I thought I'd post mine since I've changed a bit since last patch. It's your typical Indigon-CI-Hierophant-PP build, but I've made perhaps a few unique changes/mistakes: Arc/LW for clear, Volatile Dead/Unearth for single target...

Well, it probably applies to a lot of stuff but this is the first instance where a seed is(was? seems like it's been "fixed") rolled on something that has stayed alive for a long time.

Why is QA better suited for developing end to end testing? I feel like not working in the codebase that's being tested is a severe handicap. Unless it's black box.

What's the basic guideline for maintaining an asphalt driveway? Ive owned my first for about five years and cracks are starting to show. Seal it? How often? Let it go to shit and it "becomes" gravel? I know this is a bit stupid, I just have no use for asphalt. And I really want to avoid paying...

Well, just assume I'm an idiot when it comes to JavaScript because I pretty much know nothing despite my strong opinions against it. For instance, Ive heard of a Dom but don't know what it is. I question if QA should be designing the tests instead implementing the tools for them.

I did stumble upon Cypress, I'm looking into that some more Monday. I don't think unit tests are enough here because they don't how the code functions inside our non-javascript code nor how the browser will react.

I'm not certain what framework they are using, if any. I want to say Angular.

Question for the JavaScript wizards in here, I know we have a least a couple. We're transitioning a part of our product from Java to JavaScript(TypeScript, specifically) and we'd like some end-to-end testing. The developers are going to handle writing unit tests, while I, the QA manager, has...

Hmmm, is there a way to deal with them besides shattering? I like shattering but it is limiting if that's a requirement for deep delves. I've heard some people suggest CWDT and an offering but I don't know how that would work.

The most popular bow builds right now either use Windripper or +levels bows. I've been playing a build that explodes pretty much all corpses and now I'm considering one that won't do that. How dangerous are those Unstable Wetas?

Hierophant makes a good Indigon character. It's not cheap though. Probably 8ex entrance fee atm.

Bleh, wonder what's different this league. I've never had map progression stall out like this such that I've had to go back 2-3 tiers.

How many maps do you get from lower delves? I've been kinda slow with delving compared to my atlas. I've completed all maps up to T9 as well as half of T10 and T11, but I've now run out of anything above T7. My delve level is around 170. I usually go sideways for things like jewel nodes, but...

Just FYI, that Spiritual Aid node is good for builds for utilizing secondary damage, which is typically hard to scale. I know, this is pretty "duh" but you can fall into this trap for existing builds. I'm playing a build that worked last patch(probably patch before it too), I just forgot graft...

You might find 600 difficult. It's in the "end game grind" challenge.

I've always found it helpful to have concrete goals for the grindy type of games. Otherwise, you risk playing until you're bored and that can risk a bad aftertaste. But, it also helps you determine how far you need to push a build. Pretty much any build can get 12 challenges, any competent...

Wait, were you the guy that said you wanted to take your character to 100 in chat yesterday? What are your goals for this league?

If you like self cast, then play it. But the difference between self cast and mines/totems/traps/poet's pen is much bigger than you're allowing. You can still do most content with self cast, I think I saw someone do self cast freezing pulse on Uber Elder last league, your goals just might be...

So, lots to remark on here. But first and foremost, if you _really_ want to improve your build, find some other way to cast arc. Self-cast, especially arc because of its high cast time, is garbage atm and you can get so much more out of your build by switching to mines, totems or poet's pen...

While leveling, any class can use HoI - Ele Prolif - Ice Bite - Innervate/Onslaught and I highly recommend it. Up until yellow maps, HoI will easily proliferate itself with that setup. 3.2's buff to ele prolif gem probably helped quite a bit. You also need to stick an ele prolif gem on your...

Was freeze prolif ever gone? Inpulsa-Three Dragons is the only way to MF farm. I could probably shatter the whole delve at once if it wasn't for that stupid darkness immunity.

I'm not sure people are sleeping on regen, so to speak. An attack build can get decent leech with 2-3 passives. Traps and mines can get 20% regen with 2 ascendancy points. Most caster builds can utilize Warlord's Mark or a leech affix on the amulet. To get 20% regen otherwise is a much...

Traps and mines get strong regen. CA doesn't have much in it's typical tree.

How does your friend deal with the sustain problem inherent to all chaos dot builds? I started with CA and that's my main reason for moving onto my next build.

Well, what's the range on that teleport then? Anywhere you can click? The videos I've seen, people were still doing a whole lotta walking.

Doesn't the target requirement on consecrated path work against HoI? You leap into a pack and then chain shatter all the targets you would have used for movement. Just theory crafting here, I haven't used the skill. The target requirement kinda kills it for me since that mean you can't use it...

I really hope they make flares act like torches. I watched that whole video and unless you REALLY want some ssf fossils and resonators, it seems like mapping and straight path delving is a better usage of your time.

So part 2 of The Plan is to make a PP-Inpulsa-MF Elementalist. That's going fine. I'm wondering if it's worth investing into 1-2 Inspired Learnings given the nature of delves. I've never used an item that steals buffs from rares, so anyone have feedback on this? Part 3 of The Plan is to make...

My first reaction was "meh". Not enough to really be worth gambling on. Though, starting your own branch of the Wraeclast SS might be appealing.

That's my problem too. The way delves are designed, they make you hesitate to explore at all. Maybe it's that I'm playing a dot build and this will be better with arc pp.

How do you combat lights out mechanics? Maybe it's because flares are on 6, which is a shitty reflex hotkey, but it seems to be doing nothing. I'm 40 levels deep and have found nothing to dynamite. How do you identify something to blow up?

Flares and dynamite functionality are complete shit, I almost never explore off the path unless it's something I can see on my screen. With the amount of loot you get on a delve, they are basically incursions, that ain't the worst thing. Anyone been trying toxic rain?

It will mean it needs to point blank the boss, but just about every other skill is going to need to be close too(for poison). The virulence and 50% chaos AoE has me still considering Pathfinder, but Trickster still seems like a better fit because of Weave the Arcane.

I think you're forgetting that CA can effectively shotgun, its single target will be quite good.

Good point, forgot about that. I think CA could apply just as many or more than BV though.
