    RIP Anthony Bourdain

    Opened the thread expecting his drinking and smoking to have finally caught up to him. Would not have expected suicide.

    Can those mods appear on regular rare drops in incursions and temple? Or will my loot filter know when it's a special drop(bright red with black background)? Not sure if that's better than Quill Rain.

    PoE is a lot like life, feeling stupid for things you should have known. And dying suddenly and randomly.

    Mind of the Council, Inpulsa, Berek's Grip, Choir of The Storm...this may have been a mistake as a league starter. Still, tons of fun to clear with Poet's Pen and just HoI. Has anyone found the incursion mobs to be MUCH beefier than their map counterparts? Point arc at map mobs, they...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    PoE is a bit janky and slow at first because of just how fucking high the ceiling is. The range of your character's power level is much greater(lower and higher) than D3's. Off putting at first? Definitely. It's something they've talked about fixing for a while now, specifically in regards...

    I said serious! Something like the necromancer should be the bare minimum for content every season/league/whatever. And definitely more polished than it was.

    MS and Open Source

    Windows does some really stupid stuff from a development standpoint. How they handle code pages makes programming in windows a real headache once you have to go outside of the 1252 code page. I'd love if an open source windows meant some 3rd parties fixed a lot of what makes windows different...

    If you aren't rerolling, you're playing this game incorrectly. 1 build per league is no bueno.

    I haven't played CI since they nerfed it a few patches ago. Doesn't seem that great for tankier builds because of lower sustain.

    Path of Exile

    Is there any consideration to running gladiator this league as your "tanky" build? The amount of bursty spell damage in incursion seems like it would make it better at defense than Jugg or Champion. Bleed explosions would certainly help with clearing on a bossing character too.

    Maybe not while leveling, but reave is definitely one of the best melee aoe skills in the endgame.

    I should be helpful though and answer your immediate question. I'm guessing by "For the gems can I not utilize the green gems or does it just depend?", you just haven't gotten a item with green sockets to drop. And let me clarify my previous post a bit more. I like D3's Whirlwind but I'm...

    I'd recommend just playing the game, see what you like. As a new player, looking ahead to the endgame is very much a mistake as there is a TON of information and game systems to acclimate yourself to. Get your feet wet, see which skills tickle your fancy and people can make recommendations...

    Y'all know what you need to do. Actually, I'm not sure. I'd been happily playing Gwent in a very casual manner(got top 10k just doing dailies) but then they released a balance patch and it became frustrating to play again. I surmised that learning a new meta on a casual playtime is extremely...

    For clearing, both Molten Strike and Infernal Blow would use Ancestral Call. The range on those guys is actually going to represent most of your clear area. And for comparison's sake, it will obviously be the same for both skills. IB will splash, MS will shoot balls in a circle, these areas...

    Path of Exile

    Details on L20 Infernal Blow were finally posted. Only change from the patch notes is that the "charged" debuff(main target only) deals 66% of damage, not base attack damage. So, if I understand this correctly, IB's single target damage is now 123% * 1.66? That works out to 205%, ~27%...

    You really think that? @Jonkimble has me beat, easily. Just beat Uber Atziri this league. And Shaper with Kimble's help. And I never have as much currency as @Korrupt. Nor you, at least at equal points of the league. Or...I totally missed the joke.

    I meant to not post that bladefall comment. I sometimes hate how the new forums remembers stuff you deleted(in the reply box before submitting). Anyway, my initial reaction is that an AE skill on a trap build just seems like handicapping your build. GC miners/trappers exist because they're...

    Oh, you're counting life flasks. Nevermind. @Kiroy, just play what you find fun. It's a league starter, you aren't going to need that much gear to get started. I'd recommend elementalist for BV for the easy prolif.

    Bladefall traps seems like a weird combination. Fair enough. Your leech comment, do you mean for this build specifically, or in general?

    I wonder if Infernal Blow not being posted yesterday on the L20 preview means they realize that the "buff" is actually shit. Nobody has been able to point out why Infernal Blow was actually changed.

    The delay. I actually do care about the delay on flameblast. It's a long time to stand still and not do any damage/leech. You don't have to stand still for frost bomb, but that delay can still be clunky.

    Inpulsa was already in high demand and the bulk of its price will be dictated by 6L. Arc will influence its price, but not that much. Berek's Grip and Shimmeron will likely be much more expensive though.

    I think Chris Wilson said it was shitting their servers. At least, sextants was. One fully sextanted map instance was pegging a cpu core just calculating item drops. Elder ring might have been the same thing. I'm a little confused by the changes to Infernal Blow. Am I doing my math wrong...

    Arc/LW Poet's Pen with Inpulsa's and Elementalist. Weapon swap to Arc/Ball Lightning(also getting a buff!) for single target. Not my idea, but I played it last league and it's by far the smoothest T1 map clear build I've played. It's like Flicker Strike without the rough edges.

    Arc can get decent leech from Berek's Grip. You might be right on supports though. My memory says that the 6th and maybe even 5th link for a full self cast arc feels kinda meh. I don't think Innervate is being touched this patch. I might try out traps then to level, then transition in my...
