    I do blood aqueducts since it's much earlier and you don't run out. It's just pretty fucking bad sometimes, I went an hour without getting a drop to begin with, but then it started dropping alright. I stopped at 6 cards and bought the remaining 3 cause I already spent way too long in there.

    Just to point out, ShB should be 40$ everywhere(or less obv). The 60$ one is the digital collector that has a few more things in it, mount minion and whatever the 3rd thing was.

    Right now my main experience with Synthesis is setting up my shit to get the achievements done early so I don't have to care later. I got the link 20 places with 2 boosts and 1 distant, that was pretty easy, now trying to get the clear one memory with 5 mods on a boost which isn't too hard but...

    You can build meter by doing damage, so as long as you avoid stuff or just block, you should be fine, it's just going to be slower since you don't build meter while defending.

    Curse on Hit or you use the new Bane skill to apply them all AND do good damage at the same time, which is probably the best bet. Alternatively you run them as Blasphemy in a low life setup.

    Well what makes them strong varies a bunch, but mostly, there's a lot of them and they use abilities that you can virtually make no cooldowns so they have good map clearing, they're very very tanky and targetable so they act as meat shields themselves, you get a large amount of buffs from their...

    Well there's a lot of summoner builds, that play fairly differently, from very passive "run around and wait for shit to die" to "casts a few spells to buff/debuff your pets" and finally stuff that is constantly casting, summons or others. The main summoner variations would be, and the list is...

    They ban bots constantly but that doesn't do a whole lot for the generic gold farming bots. Most bots I've seen seem to stop at 50 though, probably because they just buy starter editions then just farm 50 content(mostly early 50 dungeons), it's a lot more expensive to buy expansions. Some people...

    Toxic Rain seems pretty strong for starting out. Can check for basics, don't have to watch the whole thing but it's a fast enough Kitava and seems fairly simple. Can switch once you reach 75 or whatever you feel like. Probably doing summoner again, I think I'll try Soulwrest since I haven't...

    Well ED has some built in regen and Soul Rend can leech a bit off the direct hits, but I think the idea is that you use ES natural regen with Occultist passives which makes it so once your ES regen start it can't be stopped for a little while so any break in damage you can fast regen a ton...

    Soul rend: 560 hit damage plus 1944dot Essence Drain: 541 hit damage plus 1503dot These are pretty fucking different. The advantage ED has is the dot duration is much longer so you can fire it once then forget about it while it ticks down, and use contagion to spread it also, but if you want to...

    There was a meme on reddit that's scarily accurate though, on one hand, it's a Kerilian weapon so it should be pretty good, on the other hand, it's a shield weapon so it's probably going to be pretty bad. Shields are pretty fun but also kinda not very good versus just killing stuff.

    Unleash static timer is a bit disapointing, would be better if it scaled with cast speed or something. Still looks nice on fights that require a lot of moving, or for builds that want to cast a few times every now and then(blade vortex and SRS mostly, I guess animate weapon if you play a self...

    You don't lose AG that often in casual content, at least if you run other attackable minions(zombies, skeletons etc). You could unsummon the AG when doing stuff that might reliably kill it(various bosses mostly) but for the most part you can kinda ignore it. Kingmaker is probably going to be...

    It averages prices it can find for a given item, excluding outliers at certain points in time. Did you play HC? Those are SC prices, HC prices are closer to what you're saying.

    Didn't see poeninja already switched back to standard prices, so those are standard prices. Checked the data dump from Betrayal however and Soul Taker was 2 chaos for most of the league(started at 14), so it's even worse lol. Antiquary page for soul taker last league: Soul Taker prices from...

    It's a recipe unique, made from a Soul Taker(keep attacking without mana axe) and Heartbreaker(spell culling dagger). As far as I remember, the 2 are not very rare but not the most common either. Data for last league was 10c for a Soul Taker(which used to be a good weap for dom blow but probably...

    BV got nerfed but it might also be less shit to play with the new Unleash support. Basically, cast once, get 4 blades, run around a bunch, cast once, get 4 blades etc. That sounds pretty good for mapping QoL. Curious how unleash will work with echo too, wether it just adds one cast per charge...

    Essence Drain can, but only on the initial hit, which isn't much of the total damage(it is however a bit better now that's it a small aoe). It also has its own life regen rolled into it, although I'm unsure if you can convert that to ES(Zealot's Oath maybe, not Ghost Reaver though since it isn't...

    This is something that you super rarely do though past 50, due to how itemlevel works. I mean I've used it a few times to compare crafted gear to yellow scrip gear or whatever, but I don't think I ended up doing it for combat classes in forever. Every item is super generic and the ilvl formula...

    Damn those double nerfs on the curses, that's pretty unexpected. It doesn't even buff the damage curses that much on these mobs as a result which was the intent of the change supposedly. Like you still only get 33% curse efficiency on uber elder or whatever with your flammability or other shit...

    The UI file has been there forever, and it should work switching around. There's various files in there, for your hotkeys, macros, UI and options. They're under character specific folders but iirc last time I moved them they worked just fine.

    Yeah slayer regen that didn't stop was always kinda fucking stupid. I do think the nerf looks a bit harsh though, and I think preferably they could have let it go instead of prenerfing it a full league before they're looking into melee(which is mostly what slayer played I believe?). Not gonna...

    I think it depends on what you dislike about Persona. If it's the combat/general JRPG gameplay with weakness/strength and the fusing of units to make new units and all that stuff, then yeah SMT would suck. But if what you dislike about Persona is everything else, the whole living as a high...

    Btw some article revealed the weapons they're adding with the DLC: Bardin gets throwing axes(that apparently can be picked up after throwing them, unsure if it's a melee weapon with a limited range capability where you have to go grab them again to even melee again or if they respawn after a...

    I played the game fine on my old PC, GTX 770, 8gb ram, i5, so not sure what your problem was unless your shit is ANCIENT or you were trying to run it at max graphics/high resolution with a not so great PC.

    You can sell it to someone who doesn't care about reflect though, assuming it isn't a complete piece of shit with the other mods(and even then). Just put it in a stash on the side and once you have a bunch of them, spend 15mins selling them. High tier maps tend to sell near instantly anyway.

    Just resists and the fact it's better to stack one or two types of damage. The damage you do is affected by the skills you take and then defines the gear and constellations you'll get to support these damage types. But no functional differences iirc.

    It doesn't get the minion damage increase on its own damage. Or maybe it does now haven't played it since they reworked it, but it used to only affect the minions not the melee hit. It has a minion tag, but isn't a minion skill. It summons minions that are the "minion skill". Tags aren't...

    From what I understand, this is a large nerf across the board for both curses, Enfeeble especially since it also gets less accuracy penalty as a direct nerf. But both curses will do vastly reduced effects on EVERY rare and unique, rather than just the ones tagged for it(which were only act/map...

    As I said in last post, curse tag doesn't mean it's a curse skill. It's like how Dominating Blow isn't a minion skill, even though it has a minion tag, or how you can give skill/tag properties with supports for those shenanigans with arcane surge and less duration or however it works. The...

    You can already do DBM etc and it's done, via ACT. These aren't related to UI things either. Opening the UI API would let you modify the UI only, it wouldn't magically be able to read the memory or log file and let you build mods for it, that's what ACT does. WoW's API specifically allows you to...

    Yeah this I agree with but if I understood correctly Deathwing was saying if you link Bane to Blasphemy, you'll be able to reserve 35%mana and blasphemy Bane itself into a permanent Bane aura that does a permanent dot AND applies all curses linked to it with the bonus damage, for just that...

    A Curse tag doesn't mean it's a curse skill, just that it's affected by things that affect curses. Kinda like how Dom blow has a minion tag, but isn't affected by minion damage directly(the minions it summons are). Blasphemy specifically makes curse skills into auras. Making Bane into a...

    On playstation you'd need another PSN account to get a different Square enix account on it for trial.

    No, the up to 35 thing is only for trial accounts, once you buy the game your account isn't a trial anymore and it basically can only be used with a sub. If you're very low lvl, it might be cheaper to just start a new account, the starter edition is often 10bucks or less and comes with a free...

    I actually don't mind these challenges that have you kill bosses in certain ways, the ones that annoy are more like "get all the x from this league, and btw some of these are super rare, or require a bunch of RNG to even spawn and more RNG to get" and shit like that. In incursion, it was shit...
