    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    So weird... wonder why. Definitely makes a huge difference. You get to max level like a whole 40 minutes earlier than you would otherwise. Man. D3, such a complex and deep game that requires so much min maxing.

    Yea but the point is you can do that even without singular focus and you can also get more guardian/conquereror/etc maps as well

    Inquisitor got a slight nerf this league but RF as a skill is probably more powerful than ever. Elementalist and Jugg RF are both super strong. If you feel like revisiting that build with a different Ascendency.

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    Cast Iron is HEAVY, so when you're making sautees, or sauces, or anything that requires you to have to manipulate the pan itself while cooking, cast iron sucks. Professional kitchens basically don't use cast iron, so... there's your answer. Also, proper technique and cooking doesn't require...

    You're acting like an addict two months after "going back". Everything you're explaining is addiction, including the "I know I did this small bad thing but it's not THAT big of a deal right? Anyway what do I do?" You already know the answer. Any reasonable, logical human knows the answer. So...

    If you want to do a no hit run just use CaptainLance's Icicle Mine build. That guy is the premier big brain build maker. His stream is also enjoyable to watch unlike 99% of the garbage memer PoE brats. I swear PoE has the worst playerbase and streamers on the planet.

    The sextant portion of that video is out of date as its from a previous league when those sextants were cheap, now they are expensive and are not worth it in my own testing. Growing hoards also beats Grand Design now and all the small passives that increase map mods by 2% + the 1% quant nodes...

    Lifeforce drop rate is abysmally bad without quant and pack size on your atlas as well. If you do not add to it via other methods only 1 mob per pack can even drop lifeforce. This is simply, very true. It has been tested, it is known. You have to modify pack size and quant if you want Harvest to...

    Okay, fair. Early on you can't optimize and Harvest is the best for all the reasons you mentioned. I concede the point.

    Goddammit, I'm gonna have to do a fresh playthrough as well. And its going to make me angry that its the best ARPG ever and literally no other upcoming ARPG is trying to steal from it.

    Yes and no. I agree with some of the points you're making and disagree with others. Harvest can be done without sextants yes, it can't be done efficiently without understanding it and investing in pack size and quant on the atlas. 250k juice after 2 weeks is paltry. I was getting 150k juice per...

    Consider this. Someone came here asking for help about generating currency and your response was 'Well just do whatever you like, its hard to not generate currency". You are a very logical, very intelligent person, so consider how ironic that response is. If they could generate currency simply...

    See this is a perfect example of how someone can take advice that bricks their strategy. Harvest does not work unless you understand it. You need to understand how it interacts with pack size, you need to understand how it interacts with forcing it via blocking other base content, and you need...

    Path of Exile

    Here's the problem though, you have to unlock enough favorite slots AND you have to use the atlas to force it to obey it to the point you can sustain. And you need an understanding of how that works to make it function. "Just do what you find fun" is generally good advice in any game because it...

    So, not to be an ass but this is the single worst advice/statement that I have heard since I started playing PoE. People were saying this same thing last league, and I'm sure they've said it every league for years. The problem is players who know... completely discount the knowledge involved in...

    Read the last paragraph of my post. I am a developer, and have been for almost 20 years. Also lol at "offline" these days. Even single player is online now and used to push players towards multiplayer and stash tab sales. It's not entirely sinister, if a game is free to play the development...

    Grim Dawn

    This is understandable but at the same time the fact that you can mod it to a searchable, offline database is also infinitely better than anything any other game has to offer. Grim Dawn Item Assistant is better inventory management than anything else in any ARPG. Even if its a third party...

    This is gonna depend on your build. I farmed up a mageblood as a cold dot ascendent running almost nothing but Toxic Sewers and Grotto because both of those maps are great for cold dot and are connected for over sustain with Singular Focus.

    Grim Dawn

    Yea its peer to peer multiplayer, not server side persistent multiplayer. Grim Dawn does basically everything better than any other ARPG. Damage Conversion, Melee, Class Trees and especially Retaliation. Its the only ARPG that has ever gotten "thorns" right.

    You should read the full conversation and understand the nuance of it. There are builds that literally cannot do Sanctum without full, good relic loadouts. Builds that are incredibly powerful in every other aspect of the game that absolutely blow in Sanctum. Detonate dead can't do Sanctum. This...

    Also every time this thread gets bumped it makes me a little salty that this game has the single best itemization in any ARPG I've ever played and no other company has ever paid attention to it. It has all the set, unique, etc targeting other ARPGs have, and it has the random rare drops and loot...

    Those are small community driven events. Which is still cool, and worthwhile, but it's not developer driven with game enhancing features, new items, new mechanics, etc.

    It really is just a weird hybrid of two things that can't really coexist unless you half ass both and put game changing rewards into it to push the narrative.

    Path of Exile

    Everything is better, totally agree. But sanctum is about running through rooms without getting hit rather than blowing up screens full of monsters. Off screen freeze blasting is just a product of bypassing the intended, counter intuitive design. Rogue likes and ARPGs are very different types of...

    I league started Cold Dot so sanctum was trivial right from the get go. Its an entirely different experience for people who league started like that vs. someone who thought they were going to rock the league with something like detonate dead that absolutely fucking sucks in sanctum.

    Grim Dawn is such a goddamn good game. Shame it doesn't have persistent server side multiplayer and leagues. Its honestly the best ARPG out there.

    Path of Exile

    It's also incredibly time consuming to create sanctums. Even if you have a 1 minute mapping strategy its still 31 minutes to generate all sanctum floors and that's without running the sanctum itself. So what motivation is there for someone who chose a build that sucks at sanctum to continue to...

    And if you cant do sanctum you miss out on cool shit like this, which is why so many people love sanctum:

    Path of Exile

    This is also the exact problem with the sanctum though. The relics completely trivialize it, but you need to be able to do the sanctum to get the relics. The baseline relics, at the very least, should have a small chance of dropping outside the sanctum so people don't need to create sanctum...

    There are filters in Awakened PoE for each of an items stats. Gotta hit the checkbox for the stats you want to search on and make sure the min/max value associated with it is correct. Once you start using those filters it works much better.
