    If you want a learning experience, the large majority of crafts are done like so: Buy fractured base. Usually the harder to roll affixes are the one you shoot for fractures. Spam essences. Again, if a hard to roll affix is covered by an essence, use that one. Keep spamming until prefixes or...

    IDK, I'm sure part/all of this is ignorance on my part. But even an equation that large seems like it could be partially paged out or cached. But, now that I see it's the same people that developed Twitter/X/whatever, I'm unsurprised if there are some deep rooted inefficiencies. The trend...

    You cannot. https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Fracturing_Orb Fracturing Orbs are ridiculously expensive and require 4 affixes. I've never done a craft that requires one, I have no interest in crafting something that starts with an item the market doesn't supply.

    On that particular claw you showed earlier? No, it's already fractured, you can't apply a fracturing orb to a fractured item. Much easier to buy a fractured claw from trade.

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    If a significant portion of Bitcoin speculation is due to investors trying to protect themselves from dollar fuckery, can you really say it's decoupled? Honest question, I'm probably wrong. What would the price of Bitcoin be if M1 supply hadn't gone to the moon?

    I'm not sure exactly what you're asking. Do you want to do some crafting with the "new" claw? Crafting in PoE doesn't really work that way. You don't pick rares off the ground as a starting point. I mean, you could, but good luck finding a rare that mirrors the steps you'd take to craft...

    Good game, definitely worth $35. The biggest issue is that the progression of a build and the progression of even just the early endgame are extremely disjointed. Some builds come online fully while playing the campaign. So you're trudging through monoliths, you're aware, even at a...

    Which one should I be benchmarking in hwmonitor? I'm not at home now, I think it has a hotspot for my 7800XT, but I seem to recall "core", "package", and I think "ccd" for the 7800X3D.

    My 7800X3D maxes out at 80C when PoE punishes it during map loading. It maxes out multiple cores for ~5s. I guess shader cache activity unintuitively hits the CPU? I have a peerless assassin 120 on it. A similar setup at gamersnexus maxed out around 75C. When I had similar questions earlier...

    I think that Rive - Healing Hands is one of the better builds Sentinel has atm. How you go about killing shit is pretty good. In addition, I've tried Smite, Throwing Hammer, and direct cast Healing Hands. All suffered from being too squishy. Or, if you abused ward, once you ran out of melee...

    Any tips for cleaning an air fryer? We have the standard basket and bucket model. All the holes and slots built into the basket make it a pain in the ass to clean. So, we don't clean it after each use. Or many uses... Now there's crud and grease built up that's only coming up with...

    Slower is fine. I want to say there are ways of accomplishing that while avoid the downside of excessive walking between packs. I stopped playing my Healing Hands - Divine Bolt Paladin because the Divine Bolts were killing all my Lunge targets Also, lower cooldown traversal skills allows for...

    As long as I'm not shield charging into pebbles, I'm pretty happy. They could use a few more ways to invest in cooldown reduction though. Make it traversal only if you want.

    I would still posit that lots of currency doesn't mean complex. However, cost is a valid reason not to participate. Many of my characters, I don't go right to that crafting method. A cheaper "craft" is to buy a fractured base off the market and a stack of essences. Spam it until you get life...

    PoE crafting isn't actually that complex. The majority of them involve factured bases, essence spamming, locking prefix or suffix, benchcraft block, then finish with an aisling slam. The reason people prefer to not participate is because of the amount of expensive RNG and market interaction...

    But the Umbral Blades itself is the falcons? I'm trying to theorize if it's possible to clear with Falcon Strike and its cooldown resetting node that makes the mana cost 70. The only downside, so far, to rogue is the many cooldowns make it difficult to get into a clearing rhythm. I want...
