    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Just 13 minutes ago, one(of 3) of our git pipeline machines failed due to 3 damaged disks from the AC going out. There were people here and still damage was not prevented. I really don't see why they wouldn't use an automated shutdown routine once temperature passes a certain point. My...

    My point is that with Cyclone, you're pretty much guaranteed to be on that 0.3s CD. If you use Rage support, you build your rage to max in ~10s. However, in your case, due to granularity of attack and I'm guessing not using Rage support, you're building rage only once every 0.4s, that's ~20s...

    Don't know if our servers have that option. I know for certain some of them don't. We have ancient hardware because we build installers for some esoteric platforms.

    @Kiki has the right of it. Alerts are not good enough, what if everyone is sleeping? Uptime is stupid, I'm not going to complain about my machines being shutdown if the alternative was them getting cooked.

    What's your attack time on Sweep? That may have been a bad choice for stacking rage and Blitz charges. Most people aren't complaining because they tried Berserker with Cyclone ;)

    The gear and tree requirements for a CoC build is likely too high. You sacrifice too much dps for the tankiness gains. I tried a scourge arrow build for shits and giggles and gave up after 5 minutes. The archetypes I listed work because they don't have much scaling outside of a few pieces of...

    The build is fine, I just couldn't get it to click in a cohesive zoom zoom manner. It felt like I was fighting fb in interaction more than benefitting from it. ED contagion suffers from similar issues, just not as severely. Think of the times you cast contagion twice and ED none. Or you send it...

    They are probably better than those times. 15k - 20k ES seems more the "normal" but the addition of VMS probably more than compensates for the lost ES. On top of that, you now have access to 3 build archetypes with non-shit damage, because that's what RF/SR is. Frostbolt - Ice Nova with...

    No PoB yet, I'm still working on it, which means playing the character. But here's an example of the stupid shit you can do with a mana guardian and a dps skill that doesn't require that much support. poe.ninja Things like Pledge of Hands FB+IN, HoAg, ED/Contagion come to mind. I didn't like...

    I think it was @Xequecal that mentioned Memory Vault before the league. I'm going to have to agree, Guardian is look rather broken and I think it's just a matter of time before the meta catches on. I tried a Pledge of Hands Guardian, the tankiness is definitely absurd, I just didn't like the...

    I guess I can understand if they wouldn't be strictly interested in doing that because it's not the "right way". But after almost a year of this shit, why not implement a failsafe that takes a week at most. Our test system already detects if the system is in a dirty state and has the power to...

    Power creep is going to ensure that tuning an ability's viability via dps is the worst option. @Thregin what did they change last patch regarding leap slam and cyclone? I haven't been maining that build for a bit, so I might not have picked up on it.

    It does, I'm over 80% crit chance with a diamond flask. I value consistency because it lets you develop a rhythm and muscle memory. Having your CoC trigger fail to proc any spells even once in a while can be dangerous because it can mean your sustain goes to shit, you don't freeze nor kill...

    It needs nerfing for the same reason worb got dumpstered this patch: too much of everything in one skill. Now, I'm not strictly advocating for nerfs, but it's objectively harder for them to bring everything up to the level of 3.6 WOrb or 3.7 Cyclone than it is to nerf one skill. You can look...

    Cyclone's dps is pretty low on "problem" list. Do you have a PoB showing it doing as much dps as a chaos conversion character? So, I don't understand how nerfing impale's interaction with cyclone actually accomplishes anything.

    So, if I find the chance to roll certain affixes, how can I calculate the chance to roll a combination of affixes from alt or chaos spam? The unknown I'm having trouble with is the amount of affixes you get each attempt.

    The fact that you can't interrupt/animation cancel Cyclone with a movement skill in the similar manner of other (I'm guessing non-channeling)skills is really tiring after a while. I'm not sure any amount of attack speed can fix Leap Slam's jerky animation either. I've been playing Mathil's...

    There's nothing that says you can't get lower tier maps from higher tier maps. Generally, what you did should be enough to sustain. You might missing out on too much of the league mechanic.
