It went core because they invested a ton of money into the voice acting. Which you can't enjoy because 3-4 of the fuckers are talking over each other like it's a noisy bar. That said, it's the sunk cost fallacy. Their inability to even RESPOND WITH WORDS to the terrible situation that is...

They upped the spawn rate of objectives, master's are not spawning less.

Any one that has bought a Synthesis supporter pack able to download the music?

To be fair, he has an English degree and is one of our technical writers. Still, if you're documenting a software product, I think you should know how to code to some degree. Our other technical writer(this guy's boss) is actually quite smart, she just got tired of programming and didn't want...

I had to explain to a co-worker what scp is.

Don't know. But if having to deal with the stress of your wife wanting to openly cheat on you produced the crazy narrative in 1 and 2...that magic is likely gone. Last I remember, he was starting to go a little nuts himself, I remember him pictured in a dress, that sort of stuff. No idea...

2.5's story was some try-hard cringy bullshit. The gameplay was innovation where it wasn't needed. Anthony Burch(lead writer for 1 and 2, and I think he was involved in 2.5) turned into a literal cuck. Pitchford thinks it's a good idea to put porn on a USB stick. All signs point to this...

You're suggesting exactly what I was implying with the "hi2u clearspeedmeta" comment. Just kill fast enough that you never have to dodge.

I think I finally root caused my issues with the new chaos dot skills, at least as a league starter. First, but likely not foremost, I'm a baddie and I can't do builds that have poor sustain. I'd rather let shit hit me than play the never-get-hit game. Which leads to my other reason: this...

Maybe they're looking for resourcefulness. When we ask candidates to implement hex(), obviously they can't use the hex() builtin, but they can use any other. We also let them google whatever they want. If they find the exact answer, that's fine, we're going to ask some followups to make sure...

What's the difference between asking someone to implement hex() or path elision? In both cases, I'm far more interested in how the interviewee handles the challenge than correctness or usefulness, one just happens to be a common builtin.

Curious that he thought them op last league. All the sources of pen would suggest otherwise.

I'm specifically referring to hierophants playing brands. I think totem bros are ok, just not meta. Indigon nerf hurt too.

Mathil didn't play brands on an inquisitor last league.

You're right, inquisitor was always popular. I guess I was more commenting on the very low numbers of occultists. 1% hierophants is funny too.

I'm not saying it can't be done. I'm just an impatient baddie that gets annoyed when I don't feel like playing safe 100% of the time. I would definitely go trickster for ED/Contagion for the huge cast speed buffs.

On the topic of brands, Inquisitor seems quite popular. I can't figure out what about the changes makes it so appealing. I'm also surprised that almost no one is Occultist. Is it just too early for the legion of elementalists to respec to occultist?

That is definitely true. I don't want a walking simulator either. But, I thought about this a bit more, and that 2 cast setup for ED/Contagion is killer because it means you're standing in place for two casts doing essentially no damage. PoE can quite easily kill you for that. I'll take...

It is fun watching ED/Contagion crawl through some mobs. At first, it reminded me of the locusts skill from D3, which made me happy. Then it reminded me of brands, which take half the casts or even just an instant cast, which made me sad. I'm sure ED has higher dps than brand, but does that...

You couldn't give two fucks, one could say.

You pick the weirdest ways to defend your soapboxes, Tarrant.

You mean a vector, one of the basic C++ data structures? EDIT: snarky comment aside, there are some differences between vectors and linked lists apparently.

This guy is almost full-blown autistic when it comes to min-maxing currency gains per hour. And his results from testing 2 10 chains are pretty depressing. I know I'm still leveling my first character, but this league is not rounding out well at all. I really like the sunstone portal...

Perhaps. I was really hoping to use Bane in a 4L to clear and apply 3 curses. Shoving increased area in there might be too much sacrificed dps.

Still leveling up(I missed the weekend) and I finally got to try Bane last night. It's definitely powerful but I'm not sure I like it. I feel like if I have to stop moving to kill, I shouldn't have to aim(that much). I frequently get stragglers that quite clearly LOOK like they were in Bane's...

I think they mentioned they are working on at least some of the issues you have mentioned. This honestly seems par for course for a release.

So do the forgotten memories and ignore the nexus. I like the complexity but PoE is basically all I play these days. After I'm done with the league, I don't feel like getting into another game.

Good thing she doesn't wear thongs for her dad.

He might have been asking what the garbage collectors calls when it destroys the object. That said, I would have answered that messing with constructors and destructors, even though they do exist, is bad business in languages with garbage collection.

"You want it more, so you should take every opportunity I offer."

I'm getting a late start to the league but I'm confused as to why a lot of streamers are picking Occultist over Trickster for Bane. Is it just for the cheap Hexproof piercing? Is it because Occultist might be better than Trickster when finally transitioning into CI?

Restart. That's what I meant by clash.

Unleash doesn't clash with the dot?

They plan on rotating leagues with 4.0

Proof needs not be public.

@Amod should thread ban him until he posts proof he is working towards rectifying this situation. Otherwise, he is just as culpable in what he's complaining about.

Discharge totems. They use your charges to calculate damage but don't expend them. Also, a bug.

Hah, I fucking called it.

This is one of the fun parts of the game! Life -> Hybrid -> EB-MoM -> CI -> LL, GENERALLY is the progression of a spell based character. When you get to the hybrid or EB-MoM stage, you putz around in PoB to see if pushing your character to CI is worth compared to what you want to do in the...

LL generally is more damage. What are you planning to reserve with that extra life? And just to make it harder on you: both are valid.
