    Most supplemental versions of lingering blades want cast speed, while this version of the gem wants mana. And cast speed is neutral for casting bladeblast. 4L Bladefall of Trathus for clear 6L Bladeblast 4L Kitava's Thirst for single target IDK, feels wrong and that's a ton of gems.

    What would be the prompt cost typically? And do you think the cost reflects the true electrical(and amortized research) cost?

    A food derail without paging the @Dr.Retarded ? For shame. I like lasagna with mornay and bolognese.

    Traps will be fine. They're more straightforward than arcanist brand in this context. My main caution would be trap arming time(or trap duration with sunblast) and slow rolling magma might lead to some uncomfortable delay.

    I very much doubt the continual mana cost will trigger Kitava's Thirst. IIRC, channeled mana consumption won't. If that Chain Hook lets me drag monsters around the map, I'm gonna RP some Karsa character.

    Jung's already busy putting out bait builds. So many people are going to have ruined league starts with arcanist brand rolling magma.

    Interesting, I thought it would require some training on your repo to have any chance at success. Let's take it a step further. A developer requests certain artifacts be saved such that it survives the lifespan of the pipeline container. The developer doesn't care how, he just wants access to...

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    I'll admit, I'm perhaps negatively biased on this topic as I've yet to come up with significant task where I think current generation AI could be even marginally useful. A lot of my programming tasks involve bug fixing or building out features in a relatively large and mostly proprietary...

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    This seems like a giant caveat. For solved problems and technologies, AI might eventually prove trustworthy and secure against poisoning. How do you deal with AI being iffy at bleeding edge?

    If AI was as trustworthy and logically discrete as calculators, I imagine this conversation would be quite different.

    I doubt Elementalist will be able to stack more than Antiquarian, and some non-rushing shlub like me was able to buy ward related gear relatively late into Phrecia. Endgame is probably PBoD. That's what I did in Affliction with my charge stacking WOrb slayer. Doubt we can get as much area...

    They're totems. You like totems, so that might actually help. But it's my main reason for dropping them. I hate dropping clones into empty space, I'd much rather react to a pack when I see it like a normal build. Which is a shame because the build otherwise has so much potential for...

    Even BAMA falls off as you get closer to maps. I suspect whatever video you saw on "just" frostblink + archmage wasn't being honest about incidental support from the passive tree.

    You're probably right. Ward-stacking Elementalist with Nightgrip? Call of the Void or Shaper of Winter to encourage HoI chaining.

    Since Champion is going to be popular again, has there been any new tech for maintaining Adrenaline? This seems similar to maintaining a life flask on Pathfinder, which I just ended writing a simple AHK macro that hits your life flask every X seconds. Bind it to a function key and you bypass...

    They did change how the 3D cache was positioned so that it would be less insulating. That said, when loading maps on PoE1, it will max out my 7800X3D, which can push it into the 70s and low 80s celsius. Max out, as in 100% load according to Windows task manager, not 100% of one core. Using a...

    I don't think Clustering deserves a nerf. Though it did catch a stray from Heirophant. Clear is fantastic on the skill, but so is the base skill. And the single target is not noticeably better to make it imbalanced.

    I get that 250 character limit is far easier to implement than solving the root cause of why regexes that fucking long are commonly necessary...but cmon. And no, I'm not bitter as someone that still, to this day, has to support legacy Windows path length limits of 260 characters.

    I hope you're right. They've taken away Reduced Mana Cost % on flasks(maybe justifiably?) and Replica Conqueror's Efficiency(mostly unjustifiably) while making builds pay for triggers. No -mana cost on jewelry would hurt. Weapon craft being better than a keystone is kinda weird, I could see...

    The difference is that Sanctum roughly tracked with character progression, so it fit better into an ARPG. If someone said they thought Sanctum was low quality because oops melee, I wouldn't disagree. To be clear, my list was league mechanics, Settlers, not the patch state, 3.25. It's not so...

    Hopefully it's more of: Affliction Sanctum Sentinel And less of: Settlers Necropolis Ancestor Crucible Kalandra Archnemesis It's not just the release schedule that's suffered because of PoE2. The league quality itself has been much lower since they announced the games would be split.
