Supposedly you can abuse Hydrosphere and Static Strike to double your beam dps. The way I understand it, one beam activation gets you "You -> Boss" and "You -> Hydrosphere -> Boss". At first, I thought this violated the shotgunning rule. But, when discussing it in guild chat, I was reminded...

The top looks like cocktail wieners. The bottom...idk what I'm looking at.

Trinity support is, I hope, balanced around the difficulty of having to maintain at least two sources of damage. Some skills and items make that easier, but those skills weren't anywhere close to meta.

I would say that's an orthogonal problem(can't buy/sell while playing the actual game) in which your solution solves the scammers, price fixers, and bots. Maybe not the bots. Probably makes the infrastructure problem worse. The reason I point out the orthogonality is that I'm willing to bet...

It would take some getting used to, using currency that way, that's for sure. But I guess it would be, at its core, no different than having two versions of an item, one you easily 5L and the other you fruitlessly throw fusings at. One of my favorite builds, Storm Secret Autobomber, uses a ton...

I'd prefer SSF over AH just so those fucks that play the economy can all spend their time trying to fuck each other over instead of people that don't want to play that part of the game. This game has a compelling amount of build depth that's ruined by having interact with a increasing amount of...

Essentially, yes. Easier said than done for sure. Just now I've been trying to buy a silver oil so I can anoint Crystal Skin. poe.ninja says they are 10c. Nobody is responding at that price. Nobody is responding at 20c. Is poe.ninja being scammed, or are silver oils really worth at least...

This fucking game sometimes... If Chris is going to stick to his precious "player interaction" have the god damn hardware to back it up. I love spending 10s of minutes buying one item because 90% of the listings are already sold and the seller, justifiably so, doesn't feel like telling every...

I'd rather watch Discovery than do that. And I haven't watched one minute of this show.

I know that. He can't see us talking about him from in game.

How do I @ him? @wizardhawk @zombiewizardhawk? That wasn't completing when I was typing.

Are you related to Wizardhawk? What happened to him, btw? Is he one of the skeletons?

Aura stacker.

You're not using Cyclone?

We're not going to break up with your girlfriend for you.

That's interesting, did not know that. I thought only instant cast spells could be cast while other non-instant cast spells were...casting.

ACKCHYUALLY, they're about equally janky. This is one of those areas where PoE is maddeningly inconsistent and opaque. Everyone knows that Spell Echo means you're in for 2 casts no matter what. Unleash has what Mark_GGG terms as "turnback" time. For each repeat, you pay for 10% of the...

@ronne @AladainAF why are you guys using Unleash with Bladefall? In absolute throughput, isn't Spell Echo better? Or are you running around and dodging often enough that the slow seal regeneration(relative to Spell Echo) doesn't matter?

@ronne Did you notice that he's using Frost Blink to reposition while Frost Bomb is repeating? IMO, that's the only way you don't make the clear not leave too many stragglers. Still a slow janky build. Cast, rooted, frost blink, root, then you can move again. All the new stuff tried this...

Even if you only pick up the rares the very strict filter says to, ID them, don't even look at them, and toss them into a decaying tab rotation?

So, ultimately this is GGG's fault for creating an environment that would encourage this. Do you know the approximate value of more than a handful of items? Will this lead to GGG creating something closer to an AH? Will this lead to GGG introducing less clutter each league? Survey...

@AladainAF What's your poe profile? I'd be interested to see how much you were able to scale explodey chest while still going crit.

Every time I look at Inquisitor, Pious Path looks interesting but the remaining parts look clunky. Full convert BF/BB? Might as well go Chieftan and non-crit so it synergizes better with explodey chest. Basically, explodey chest is a big PITA for every non-Assassin build that wants to go...

You can get into red maps with a bunch of builds that cost 5-10c per slot, don't RMT.

@ronne you mentioned in guild chat somehow getting 2k life and es regen with Pious Path. Got a PoB for that?

Forgot about that! Can you get 6W from fossil?

3-4M shaper dps on garbage gear(I went through the pains to make sure everything was cheap) and retarded sustain from LGoH would be the main points. I agree, it doesn't seem like "wow!" at first.

You hit the Hydrosphere, Tribal Fury hits the boss. So the boss is getting at least some extra proj than without Hydrosphere. You might be right on spread. The skill description is misleading because it says "This attack causes balls of molten magma to launch forth from the enemies you hit...

Fossil craft.

@ronne Poke some holes in this. This is dirt cheap(nothing over 10c) 3.9M Shaper dps. It's been a while since I played Molten Strike, but I think the rule of thumb is that half the projectiles hit the target? So, with Hydrosphere, it's roughly 8.5 * 1 meatball dps = overall dps...

Gotcha. I thought you were referring to the actual mechanics of elemental hit. I think Molten Strike would have more potential for abuse than frost blades.

Not following you, how does that turn it into elemental hit? A lot of the strike skills seem like they would benefit from Hydro Sphere + Tribal Fury. My understanding is that you can't use Multistrike though because Hydrosphere is not an enemy. So, Multistrike will target the boss and then...

Molten Strike + Hydrosphere? Or has Molten Strike been nerfed too many times for even having a second "enemy" bring it back to the days before ground targeting was nerfed?

Species bickering about pronouns are below threshold for reaping.

Single target looks about 50% better on that build. Cold BV will be tankier and sustain much better. I noticed refreshing his BV really chunked his mana pool and it did not rebound nearly instantly like a flaskfinder would. There's also less synergy between improving chains while clearing and...

Got a link for archmage BV? What's the benefit over Indigon Cold BV(similar mana costs after stacking)?

Archmage Hexblast Ignite! 1.7M shaper dps and the room for improvement is quite large. Notice that it's using blasphemy, which really cuts into the benefit from Archmage. I hate 1-2 combo abilities. If get your hands on a Chaos Impresence, the dps comes close to doubling. And this is with...

Yeah, I know where the tankless is venting. There's some PVC running from it to the outside wall, all in the same room. My guess is that pipe was leftover from the previous heater?
