Looking up mechanics doesn't sound fun? That's like 99% of PoE. For what it's worth, almost every mechanic in this flashback is baseline, so you've played most of them. Harbinger and Perandus are the only two that aren't.

Ask yourself why and then also realize you're not even halfway there.

I've yet to experience a game, old or recent, that comes anywhere close to the narrative ability of movies, tv, and books. There's some cool stories, no doubt, but find me a game that really got to me like the Chain of Dogs or Memories of Ice. Or the first three books of Ice and Fire.

Yep, I end up feeling bad for not doing chores yet feeling like I need to relax from a long day at work(or even just dealing with my family). My favorite vacations have become "staycations". I hate that word but it's effectively the same concept. I have never been a fan of traveling(I bought...

Set other goals, get currency as a side effect. I got to 37 challenges and never was "farming" my main intent. Only had 1 exalt drop too, so I wasn't "lucky".

@a c i d.f l y Yeah, that's frustrating too. Some would argue that the RNG is necessary for game diversity, otherwise you have chess. I kinda agree with them? But I also think that's a bit reductionist. I think presenting diversity via RNG instead of a plethora of choices is a failure in the...

Sure, but I'm saying I know I'm making mistakes because I don't have the time invested to not make those mistakes(without spending 5 minutes per turn). This is like "know the meta" kind of mistakes. Or know what the opponent is doing when they play unexpected cards.

What does it mean when you have ~50% uncorrected code words? That seems bad enough that my connection would be unusable, but I only noticed because I was one my modem for another reason. I have a MB7621 on Spectrum.

That's basically why I stopped playing card games. Recently, I've tried 3-4 times to play them as casual and inbetween other games. And I would always end getting pissed when the opponent would play cards I wouldn't expect. I used to blame this on Hearthstone's RNG, but I've been giving Gwent...

Omnitect aura is not chaos, my CI flicker strike occultist was still taking it up the ass from that stupid thing. Most melee builds solve their single target problems by having a 4L of vaal double strike.

I don't know if I'm in a gaming funk. I think it's I want more of what I know I like(which isn't much more than PoE atm) and I dislike the time required to get into a new game. And that's a bit ironic because damn did it take a while to get into PoE. Doesn't help that I don't really feel like...

So, they're only trying to eliminate half of it?

Do you put that on your resume?

You mean you didn't write your own Indigon simulator? It's actually not that hard, mine is about 100 lines of Python. There's no actual way to get the dps into pob. You can do damage, but pob is going to have no idea how handle poets pen, let alone times you run out mana and have fall back to...

All bosses can be precast to one shot regardless of gems. Except Uber elder of course, but arc is useful there. If you're circle strafing I think arc will still connect. I'll have to double check my calculations, but I think with the corpse limitations and assuming arc connects, arc vd comes...

The video I linked above is basically windz guide. He does arc/volatile dead too. But his build is built for grinding to 100, not sure you're doing that too. If you aren't, I like the hierophant versions better. The life version looks good IF you can rely on Zerphis. The place where that really...

No way Unearth can keep up with Bodyswap and volatile dead. I would recommend putting arc with volatile dead. DPS is almost as good while having massive clear. I didn't see his recommendation for Incandescent Heart, didn't watch the whole video since I'm on mobile. Saw he took a reservation...

Also, stumbled upon someone that was using an Incandescent Heart instead of LL Shavs or CoD and CI. Defensively, I think it might be better than both and you don't have to spend a ton of gem slots for purities and enlightens. Offensively, you likely lose a bit.

Its not a new build, been around for a while. There are better build guides if you're looking for them. I'm not sure I agree with just volatile dead alone in a pen. How are you supposed to supply enough corpses for it?

You can't trigger vaal skills, he manually activates vaal rf and I'm pretty sure he doesn't use rf. The CWDT link is effectively useless, he is just utilizing the increased duration support.

Yeah, I missed that part when skimming the video the first time. I've never played with inspired learning. Are they worth it if you aren't grinding or farming? I think the negative interaction between volatile dead and bodyswap occurs when unearth is your only source of corpses. After playing...

Right, so it should have no problems driving high impedance headphones. My Beyerdynamic DT 770's are 250 ohm and the volume pot is only set to 10 AM.

Seems something fucky is going on. I would really love an in-depth guide on poet's pen because I'm missing something here. Like, Poet's Pen for Idiots. Just testing out in Blood Aqueducts, no monsters or corpses(killed them and then used them up). I have Unearth - GMP - Bodyswap in main...

You're referring to this video? I don't think it's entirely fair to evaluate a build with headhunter. But, I'll watch the video, see if there's anything to glean.

Just realized we're talking about the dac and not what assumed was the amp. I get them mixed up, the names are too similar. Why are talking about powering headphones with a dac?

I would expect the Modi 2 to handle much higher than 150 ohms. What do you think the Modi 2's limit is?

He's joking. There were some previous mayhems where you'd get 5(or was it 10?) ghosts in some really small rooms with a guaranteed unique. Usually Tora's beast lair mission. That was actually fun because it provided for some hilarious encounters. 3 doesn't seem like it will be enough to...

Sounds like a success.

I prefer they pick them the fuck up afterwards. What they play with is distant concern.

Doesn't alcohol effectively count as carbs? At least, from a ketosis standpoint? Seems like your body would metabolize it much easier than proteins and fat. What do you mean by "effect on other people" aside from weight loss?

Well, my theory for best socketing is: Volatile Dead - Arc - Elemental Focus Unearth - Bodyswap - GMP Volatile Dead will never use Unearth corpses unless you're staying in the same area(boss). Guess I should go read some more guides. Problem there is that a *lot* of people seem to just put up...

I'm definitely using Herald of Ash, not sure how I'm going to fit linking anything to it though. Burning Damage and Swift Affliction make that big a difference in clearing when you have Arc already? HoA can ignite? The smoothness, or lack thereof, seems to be coming from Volatile Dead and...

Looking for feedback on a standard indigon PP build with my usually stupid twist. The most popular Indigon PP build utilizes volatile dead in one pen and unearth, body swap, and GMP in the other. Volatile dead is great for bosses but that's about it. It kinda sucks for clearing. Even if you...

I swear that looks tamer than the previous flashbacks. I'll probably still do 85 for the MTX but none of those combinations are making me excited.

An astrocreep post in a Star Wars thread, this should be good! Hmmm, none of these words and sentences are making me think of Poe's Law. It's just an overabundance of gifs and poor formatting.

I thought it fitting of this movie to subvert the conversation

Ok, before we jump off fully, have you seen RLM's review of First Contact? It echos a lot of my views on the movie and I want to see where we're starting first.

If it has to get the killing blow, then yes, that is a waste. But I was doing that yesterday and no buff. Do I need to stick a support with the spell tag in there too? I've been monkeying around with an Indigon simulator I wrote. It's crude, but it did let me realize that stuffing every...

Ok, can you tell/show me how it works? I was trying it out yesterday on Hierophant Indigon PP build. I had Phantasm and Arcane Surge linked to frenzy, made sure frenzy was both hitting and killing stuff, never got a buff. I even made sure it wasn't invisible, my stats weren't changing.

Anyone know if they "fixed" the interaction between Phantasms on Kill and Arcane Surge Support?
