    Good point, I'll keep an eye out. And I agree on the damage on full life. Right now I steadily cut through maps without much issue, but have to really try to avoid dying against the boss where I spend much of my time low on health. However, if I was focusing on clearing easy maps and not...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I played a strategy game called Mount and Blade that has an ASOIAF mod ( A Clash of Kings (Game of Thrones) mod for Mount & Blade: Warband ) and travel is of course super critical. It blows my mind everytime a character teleports. Jon Snow going from Winterfell to Dragonstone is like, an epic...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I was really hoping Jon would ride a dragon back to the North carrying a loot-crate of dragonglass arrows and then 1v1 the night king. The last couple episodes really cemented how OP the dragons are now. If they can endure cold they really need to show what the white-walkers can do against them.

    I've been thinking about this a little. With the odds of getting a 6L being like 1/1000, it seems much less maddening to save up the fusings to get 1500 and pay Vorici to do it. Or maybe not, I dunno. I imagine I'll be trying to 6L something like the Belly soon and am really hesitant to play the...

    Question on Queen of the Forest, and evasion in general: Given that evasion doesn't mitigate damage but avoids it, if you stack evasion aren't you still at risk of being one shot? Or are one-shot abilities almost always avoidable, and you only need to worry about steady damage from different...

    A few hours into the work day and the t9 map (my highest one yet) I have sitting in my stash ready to run is boring a fucking hole in my consciousness.

    I'm no expert but I believe what makes this build work with ranger is that +phys damage is converted 100% into cold, so all the +phys stuff in the rangerish area helps cold out.

    How often do casual people get banned for just that? I've been in EQ multi-boxing world for so long so my perception is probably skewed but the idea of not being able to multi-bind is crazy to me.

    No, but I have been saving them. Won't I have the same problem with them as flasks? As in, I pop it once and then it's empty? Or is the intent that I pop it and kill the boss before the buff is gone?

    Do people run extra skills as in, they switch out their five or six link chests for a different skill to fight bosses? Or do they just have supporting skills? Culling strike is a good idea, I swapped that in on my ancestral protector. edit: just got my first kill of a map boss with it, I love...

    So, when you say DPS check it makes me think I'm fighting them incorrectly. I mostly jump in, take my shots and jump out either before they hit me with their big attack or whatever nonsense they're attacking me with stacks too much. Do you just facetank every boss and if you don't kill them...

    So I think I'm missing something regarding flasks While clearing a map I have an AHK script set up to spam-activate my buff flasks and it works pretty well, I get around 100% uptime on them. On bosses, which right now with my frostblade build are the only challenging things I'm facing, I can't...

    Hit 80 today. That's where I was at when I played in 2013. Back then I was looking at the map and trade system and gave the game a solid pass, with the intent to play it again when it smoothed out. Now that I'm at 80 and starting mapping, I'm pretty pumped about what comes next.

    Good info, I haven't picked up rares of items I wouldn't use in a while. Knowing that axe/rapier/wands/daggers are worth picking up saves me a lot of time. I'll have to study a list of base items too, to see which ones are most valuable. Would you say it's true that high ilvl base item rares...

    What are some good, non-obvious tips for generating wealth for someone who is just going to be able to play casually? Obviously kill speed is king and creation of good maps is important, but is there some technique used to get better drops other than that?

    I haven't been playing PoE for long, but being worried about a multi-key bind getting you banned is like being worried about your bank suing you because you didn't dot the i and cross the t on the check you just cashed, all while people are literally robbing the bank without being prosecuted.
