    Have you done this before? A friend tried slow-cooking a loin(may have even been a tenderloin) in the same manner you do a shoulder. It was complete shit because there's very little connective tissue to convert to gelatin in those muscles.

    Do you *want* one of the elemental absorb ones? Those are only good for fishing extremely high level grifts. BTW, Esoteric Alteration, once it reaches 25% DR, starts out-leveling the damage increase from grifts. It's your all-in-one elemental absorber. derp...ignore comment about Esoteric...

    You mean the nagelring that was patched in 2.2? Yeah, it's not getting nerfed. Try some higher rifts and reevaluate.

    Something tells me that you(and most people in this forum) are not ones that can deal being without work for a while even if it's still financially beneficial in the long run.

    Heh, it's been my experience that CyberCoders are basically scalpers. I mean, shame on the original company for not advertising well enough. If I find your job posting only through a recruiter that you aren't directly working with, that's your fault. I got my current job through them, so...

    Very vague question. In-geom is useful for my speedfarming charge-hammer barb, but it's useless for my grift WoTW barb.

    What do you do?

    Coincidentally, I just finished phone interviewing someone who would basically be my peer. But they(my higher ups) let me see how much salary he was requesting. This was probably a big mistake because now all I want to do is disqualify him even though he seemed competent and a good fit.

    What do you do?

    What do you like to do in your free time? Do you like working alone or in teams? How do you approach a problem? That's what I think when I read "behavioral interview". I've never heard it called that, usually that get lumped into technical questions and it's just called "an interview"...

    Europa Universalis IV

    I usually go 1.5:1 inf:art so that reserve regiments of infantry replace casualties during the battle and keep the artillery always protected. Combat width, terrain type, and supply limit almost never line up in this game, it's infuriating. Exercising your full combat width at any time is...

    Same. My wishlist has been growing with very little coming off it recently. I know Steam has to get the publisher's permission for a sale price, but it seems a lot of games aren't budging on lowering the price years after release. I'm looking at you, Kerbal.

    Sorry, I was thinking of a different scenario. I guess I was just thinking working as a contractor is not all roses. Especially if they know what they were paying you beforehand.

    That's very typical at bigger corporations. Fire employee -> hire as contractor for less or reduced liability(or both) -> fire contractor. Sometimes I wish for a programming union, or something.

    You're probably thinking of the other yellow mat. DB's, idk, rare->legendary wasn't turning up ancient weapons as much as I wanted, so that seems like a waste.

    Definitely agree in theory, maybe harder in practice. Let's take my scenario. I'm getting 4-5% raises per year, 7% bonuses, 10 minute commute, never work more than 40 hours a week. I like pretty much all aspects of my job except that maybe some days/weeks I go home thinking I didn't really...

    Easier, MUCH easier, said than done, Celestien. There's likely a heavy dose of confirmation bias going on too. I almost feel like posting the Romney 'buy money' meme. Why don't you fuckers just get taken advantage of less?

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Depends on the class and build, honestly. For WoTW, you can now do a ORoTZ build without sacrificing a ring slot. The other two cube slots are basically stat buffs. However, for the same class, cubing enabled a hammer charge build by using 5 pieces of IK and 3 pieces of Raekors and cubing...

    I tell myself the same thing, then the house needs repairs, or you could pay a loan off early, or put more money away for retirement or the kid's college fund. I'm happy and relatively comfortable/safe with the amount of money I make now, but I could easily double it and find non-frivolous...

    Shields and offhands count as weapons for cubing. Standard build for WoTW6 is going to be Unity/CoTE/ORoTZ.

    Skullgrasp is additive, it should never be used. High proc chance, even higher ICD. At least 20s, and I want to say maybe even 30s. There aren't a whole lot of strong amulets, rings are going to be the cubing choice.

    You should test on both platforms. Unless I misunderstood and the server farm is just hosting VMs. Gotta job hop to consistently get above that. 5% yty at the same job as pretty good.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Hammer barbs might be competitive, someone did a GR69 on the PTR after IK6 was buffed to 250%. WoTW6 + BK2 will likely(and I think did) clear higher since it has a shit-ton more healing. I do like hammer/raekors for speedfarming though.

    That's not criteria I would use for "OP". Grift clear level or T10 rift chain clear speed is probably the only objective measures of OP that remain. If "this is easy" is your only criteria, pretty much any class will meet that, even up to T10. I guess you could use group play, but that's...

    Is it not enough to hate uplay on intent alone? Steam was serving Ubisoft games just fine and uplay offers nothing over it. It's an obvious cash grab and divides the market(where having all your gaming content on one service is a big bonus). Yes, battle.net fits that description too...

    Pointless and arbitrary is still just that, even if it is within the realm of only somewhat inconvenient. How's the engine? That was only other thing that prevented me from getting into PoE. I've heard they have fixed the netcode and rubber banding, but the fluidity of the gameplay itself...

    Game would be pretty boring if the PTR drop rate went live. Also, this is the wrong game to play if you want to be "unique". Play a WW barb if you find it fun. PoE doesn't allow skill rerolls, right? Major step backwards for the genre imo.
