Where's the Fetid Pool? Never heard of that zone.

Sounds like the opposite of build diversity.

It won't. It will suck but it won't bomb.

Painseeker still works Secrets of Suffering despite their wording implying otherwise. I don't know if Leadership's Price works too. Almost no one uses this amulet. There ARE people using the amulet and gloves together on poe.ninja. But there are also people using Atziri's Promise and Avatar...

I feel like we're talking past each other a bit. I agree, just the fact that I can and she's not hiding it from me, is enough. The expectation of privacy is implicit and organic(if that makes sense in this context). She's never told me not to read her texts despite me having her password for...

@Cad basically what @Khane said. Perhaps I should have left the permission part out as it is irrelevant. Edit: conversation moving too fast. I don't disagree with what you're saying in principle but I'm still not going to read my wife's text messages. Even in a committed relationship there...

Poison prolif(Binos or Pathfinder) is the only build I've heard that wouldn't, in theory, make the clear not ass. I've been leveling up a Deadeye that's Ice Spear in a Poet's Pen and Hydrosphere, Sniper's Mark, and Eye of Winter connected to Spellslinger. Quite fun, shitting out ping-ponging...

It says right on the gem that additional proj adds more wall bounces. How many times would you say it hits a boss?

Your wife "was going to include you!"? What does that mean? Because, at best, that sounds like spit roasting your wife.

Looks like a ripoff of Spectral Helix.

Definitely shouldn't have read her conversations without her permission. Neither party trusts the other and it's going to be hard to come back from that. Maybe you can be honest about that as proof that you want the marriage to work. Otherwise, you would have just served her papers. I do...

Response to bolded question: pretty much. The time need not be so concrete. What needs to exist is that your brain can subconsciously make the time investment pseudo tangible whilst doing boring shit. Let's take the alteration spamming example. Are alts expensive this league? Did Mathil...

Mapping is the only thing that should be allowed to take an indeterminate amount of time. How many maps until my next exalt? Who knows, having fun blowing shit up, progressing atlas, picking shit up off the ground. How many alterations until I hit level 20 CoC support? How many tells until...

The stance is known, reinforced in yesterday's podcast. Since when has that stopped a bunch of nerds on the internet from talking about it? I continue playing in spite of trade and crafting. I think that's bad for the game if it ever gets some real competition because I doubt that competition...

When the game relies on third-party tools for core gameplay experience, that makes it harder for GGG to justify the current state of systems that depend directly on said tools.

I find that even when not deep in the build theory crafting process, essentially done with the league, something else will distract me from work. Usually the something else is nebulous and doesn't distract as severely, so it's easy to scapegoat poe. Some day, maybe, I'll become that uber...

I agree with under one mutual condition: the players being alienated and the developers doing said alienation are explicitly communicative of what's happening. A lot of people on Reddit getting implicitly told to fuck off and they aren't getting the message. I'm not sure I would lump most...

That is the whitest white person post I've read in a while.

Aggressive eyebrows.

What's your satisfying method for obtaining items that isn't fouled by trade interactions and/or RNG?

Poet's Pen with Unearth - Bodyswap is still a build you can do. It's actually more viable, in some respects, now because you can Bodyswap monsters in addition to corpses. However, I doubt the changes to dual wielding Poet's Pen plus the power creep of content itself would make it viable...

Harvest add/remove?

I don't understand what a cavernous vagina has to do with chainsaws.

Right, those stupid triggers that only work on flasks they want you to use preemptively. I finally have enough instilling orbs to fuck around with some triggers. That's another system that needs some refinement.

How many stacks of Indigon are you going to maintain, where is that mana going to come from(on a boss fight at that), and how are those stacks not going to prevent your Mjolner trigger skill?

Can you react to being unexpectedly frozen in a way that doesn't seriously jeopardize your character? I've seen a lot of builds going out of their way to get ailment immunity because the premise of reacting to freeze is fundamentally flawed. I'll be honest, that's how I handle bleeding and...

Best part of this league: 2+ weeks into the league and reddit is still in constant bitchfest. Some real schadenfreude to be enjoyed here. Worst part of this league: there's some real issues with the game(flasks and mana mainly) and I fear that the above will give GGG reason to not treat valid...

I'm assuming he mistyped, as BV with BB is a mechanically dead combination. BF with BB might be as well since BB lost sizeable chunk of radius and might not overlap that much.

So, what's the interesting part of the skill without the stun pulse? Maybe with a ton of attack speed, you can stack a bunch of trauma and reliably trigger some CWDT(which you'll pay somehow...)? I wouldn't discount the stun pulse. Supposedly it can chain itself.

When the devs admit stun is fucky, and that ability relies on stun, why would you want to play that skill?

Ziz and Steelmage league started with that build and put out build guides, so a bunch of people are aping them. That is not say it isn't a good idea. Just keep in mind that if you see a bunch of people copying a few content creators, it isn't hundreds of people all see this obvious idea that...

Really sucks to retire a build because of performance reasons. Has anyone else had issues with Elemental Hit? No MTX. I'm not actually sure if performance was worse, just the consequences of not being able to accurately aim a barrage of projectiles is much greater compared to tossing mines...

Your internet speeds have fuckall to do with it. They implemented texture streaming and quite poorly at that. Commonly used textures or even textures it can know for certain are going to be used are now getting dynamically unloaded to make room for the way too many core assets. Doing a map...

I've been leveling up a Deadeye to try Ele Hit - Barrage + Sniper's Mark - Spellslinger. That's right, it's not completely dead, but it's relegated to very dusty niches. Also, not above mockery by GGG. I believe it was posted in this thread that they were reverting Spellslinger trigger...

No, I don't. I was more pointing out that it is a complex system, there could be many factors at play, and I would hesitate before draw absolute sureties from it.

Or that the demand for Rog and Gwennen currencies are so low that people don't even bother selling them. That said, there are people selling 1 alch uniques, so...

I was checking market prices this morning to see if it was worth it to do exactly that. The sample size indicated that no, people are not doing that with Rog and Gwennen. There does seem to be a market for Dannig and Tujen currency, unsuprisingly.

Forbidden Taste with trigger on savage hit is the typical setup.

Build-enabling uniques. It's really fascinating(and disturbing from a longterm perspective) just how much the game relies on the inherent ubiquity of everything being tradeable. Think of the builds, items, and content you couldn't do or really struggle to even do once in a league without...
