    If the atlas passive tree essentially lets you do any content you want, why restrict Kirac mods? That said, I rarely ever use map device mods beyond forcing achievements. By the time I have a stockpile of chaos to mitigate bad luck, I'm almost done with the league.

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    How does that help either party in the long run? If AI helps "cheat" an interview process and gets you a job that you were truly qualified for(but suck at interviewing for) that means the interview process needs to be fixed or you need to brush up on your FizzBuzz. If you aren't qualified for...

    Current league, 3.20, has been pretty good. 3.18 was good too, people seem to gloss over that for some reason. Not denying they've had some stinkers lately accompanied by (still) puzzling gameplay changes.

    In case anyone is playing hexblast traps/mines. https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3325018 tl;dr: curse on hit worked before this league but now doesn't. This hits traps much harder as they were typically using cluster traps to throw 3, depending on the first to apply a curse to...

    Where is this NDT backlash coming from? He was on Joe Rogan recently and the YouTube comments were largely negative. I thought his audience usually liked him.

    Where are you seeing this hotfix and the one for eldritch implicits? I just went through gggtracker and reddit, didn't see either. What was the intent of the hotfix? Seems from your post and others, it was fine and they fucked it up?

    Initially unintuitive but I guess it's to be consistent with other defenses being useless. Which is overall quite dumb. A lot of the mechanics that make roguelikes work like hyper mobility and stun locking do not exist in PoE.

    Yes, but this one seems especially worthless. At least while leveling. Your evasion should be doing something, but that's about it.

    Just getting into Act 2, obviously early, but this league mechanic seems super unrewarding and punishing. I'd complain that passive damage builds have a huge advantage but this doesn't seem worth the time so far.

    So, a channeling skill without the tag? I remember when that guy posted that build in 3.19. He didn't seem to understand the mechanics of how/when it pulsed exactly. I was interested in it because it's a candidate for Hatred and Heatshiver abuse, but ultimately decided to drop it because the...

    Perhaps not a documentary, it does cover some of the history of D&D. This guys is doing it as a tangent to MtG history(also worth watching) because D&D is relevant to MtG.

    Very much doubt it will work that way. Fanaticism says "...you've attacked...". I can't think of a mechanic where "you" is mentioned that didn't end up requiring you, the player, to directly do the action.

    If they repeat what they did in 3.19, hitting 38 achievements should be no problem. Unless you're @ronne and wait for the highly telegraphed implosion of the league to do it.

    What's a good army composition? I know there's some vague concept of infantry to combat width with reserves, some percentage of artillery behind the infantry, and some percentage of cavalry for flanking. But I can't find the right mix. I build to combat width and then suffer heavy attrition...

    Yep, you can get 50% on the tree as well. Windscream boots has a bunch of curse AE as well as curse limit. I need PoB updated before I can make a sure judgment on the build. You might be able to paper over the mana and blasphemy issues, but I don't think you can fix Hexblast's target...

    It's ok. I played around with it over the weekend and my conclusion is that for feel of play, Exsanguinate mines is still better. I suspect Hexblast, crit hit or non-crit poison, has higher dps potential. The small range on Blasphemy has some anti synergy with mine playstyle. One of the...

    Nah, tikka masala is not a complicated dish. You could buy all those esoteric spices that you'll only use on that dish, or you could find a curry mix you like and just use that.

    That's not what I was suggesting. Single target hexblast -> hexed corpse. Single target hexblast -> corpse makes sandy poof -> lots of cursed enemies Explosion hexblast. This does work, I just tested it. However, clear is still a bit clunky. Also, hexblast mines are a bit aurally annoying...

    Unideal because you need curse on hit for single target. And I'd rather not have to pay the mana reservation cost for blasphemy. I was also hoping to take advantage of Impending Doom, and since that would have to go on the blasphemied curse, that makes it even more expensive. Profane Proxy...
