    I've never played these type of builds(purposeful self damage). This item is new this patch: And a bunch of the people in the thread are excited for VMS type of builds. How is type of build not already enabled by Scold's Bridle?

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    This is part of the reason why I sometimes hesitate telling people that I work in software QA. Their impression of software QA is mindless drones with no programming experience. I suspect it's part of the reason the job opening has been unfilled for so long. We get some *really* stupid...

    I did a red elder for the first time ever on my JuggLivesMatter character using a 5L Blade Flurry and the weapon setup in the secondary slot. View Profile - Path of Exile - Deathwing6 I didn't notice what shaper's HP was, but I was keeping up with portals just fine.

    There's no reason not to gem swap for a fight like that. 3 gems and you do probably over 4x the dps. Portals will die in a few seconds. Wait a minute, did you do red elder on your totem build using a clear skill too?

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Humans are expensive. And it's hard to find people that want to do QA, let alone competent people with a good programming background. I manage the QA department and we've had an open position for over a year. Automation is almost a necessity at this point. Note, what I call QA might be...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    I see it more as a necessary evil because it allows you to do some client-side stuff that would otherwise be much harder or impossible. For what @Chris wants to do, Javascript is not necessary, so I thought another language would give a more well-rounded experience. The popularity is...

    That's essentially condoning vendor bots because you can just leave the client running 24/7. Whether you agree with that kind of usage or not, it will have a severe impact on the economy, likely requiring a rebalancing of drop rates downward. Trading is indeed annoying, I've certainly bitched...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    It's a messy language with some counter-intuitive "features" like the triple equals. On top of that, with maybe the exception of Flash, it's the #1 source of Internet security vulnerabilities. Flash has been thankfully deprecated, Javascript doesn't seem to be going anywhere unfortunately...

    I would suggest against javascript if at all possible. It's a necessary evil but you have options here. Python is pretty easy to learn.

    Anyone know of a way to force hotkey remapping when weapon switching? I have my clear skill in my main hand and single target in my chest. I need to weapon swap to change the shaper stat stick used by the clear skill to one used by the single target skill. It would be nice for the right mouse...

    Reave/Flurry is mechanically good, Reave just *feels* underwhelming. As in, the skill itself is just boring sounding/looking. Need me some shatters or blood explosions at this point for a build to be fun. There are some exceptions, that PP build that uses Frostbolt was pretty good. Really...

    Make sure to buy maps from zana as you do her dailies or she reaches a new level, both will refresh her map offerings. Really cheap way to increase your map completion. For this league only(although, hopefully semi-permanently) there's Horizon Orbs. Though, I didn't get the recipe for that...

    Path of Exile

    Anyone play with a degen at red tier maps? I'm having trouble compensating for certain map affixes and I'd rather not just "not run them". Normally, the Oni-Goroshi and blood rage degen is 90% countered by a lot of passive regen. But in the presence of any of these map mods, it becomes a huge...

    I barely even touched that stuff in college(computer engineering) and they are sticklers here during interviews. Kind of frustrating to see people disqualified that obviously knew efficient algorithms but just couldn't express it in big O notation

    I'll admit this is my first crafting league, I started with Breach. If this is par for course, then bleh. The mechanic needs to be more engaging and finitely(not overall) rewarding. How many people want a league mechanic that pays off weeks from now?

    No, that was just the part you responded to. I believe the limit is lower per type of the deep. I want to feel like I can craft something useful with the beasts I've captured. Right now, it doesn't feel that way. Atziri fragments, horizon orbs, level 21 corrupted gems, that's it. I know...

    I asked this before and no one answered, but is this a reasonable expectation regarding QA? All three items involved are not new. In fact, none of this is related to the new league, just that Harbinger is on Zana for the first time. To be fair, supposedly the implementation of Ancient Orbs...

    I'm a bit surprised they'd hotfix it. The market would have adjust prices on all three items such that you couldn't make much profit anymore, so does it really matter?

    For sure, I wouldn't spend that much on MTX otherwise. I'm probably going to be more discerning regarding support packs though. Since this is the first bad league for me.
