    If we're generous and give it a 75% chance to keep allocated nodes (it's not that high) you still have to factor in the split beast cost + magic imprints to hedge against failure and plus the time it takes to fill the passive trees to the desired nodes after every merge/split, which is a...

    The weighting for allocated passives does exist yea, but it's not anywhere close to a guarantee and also adds the additional step of 'do 6-10 maps to fill out the passives you want to keep' between each merge/split.

    It doesn't work consistently, you're still gambling that the passive merge will retain the divines/double sell value nodes that you want every time you merge them. This is just gambling on doubling your div cards but with extra steps and smaller investment - people are blowing it way out of...

    I fucked about with it in standard some but it's gonna be real hard to accurately tell how many of them are gonna hit on the return bounce. Molten strike they do make an effort to move back to the original strike location, but it's...half hearted sometimes? Like they move in weird ways and...

    If you wanna be ultra lazy about it just reveal the tree on a random good base (siege axe/ezomyte axe/imperial claw/spine bow/thicket bow, etc etc) and throw it in a dump tab for 1 divine and let other people decide if the trees are any good. I've sold 3 weapons for a divine like this with them...

    Frost blades is extremely meta right now, tho is more popular on Trickster, but no reason a Raider wouldn't work. I'm pretty sure molten strike is 100% busted and would also be very good on a raider, or if you wanna be an omega hipster go volcanic fissure and use an axe

    I think I need to do it via remove/add a speed modifier - the risk of filling suffixes with reforge speed or veiled chaos is too high I think Boy is gonna be fuckin expensive tho

    Yea but now it can get 40 flat ES from crucible and have ~close to ~850 ES. Just a casual like 350 crit multi from seething fury, nothing to see here.

    Yea I don't think it works either. I watched maybe half of it and it didn't seem like it was doing anything besides visual returns. Should be easy enough to test for sure though with herald of agony though? If you attack once and get more than 2 stacks etc

    I'm probably gonna give fissure a try as I still haven't played it so it'll be "new", despite being nearly identical to molten strike. I wonder if it'll be enough additional damage to actually just play jugg, or if you'll need to go raider or trickster or something

    I already leave every map with a full inventory of rare shit so picking up a base each map to shove in there and see a tree doesn't bother me too much. It does concern for me for actual endgame though - am I gonna have to spam bases until I see a tree I want and then just craft my item then...

    Changed tree pathing for more damage earlier, swapped to storm rain ballista totems for bosses, stopped trying to use a phys bow and just using generic ele rolls.

    Getting dangerously close to starting raider ice shot. Done a couple like lab2 runs and it feels pretty fucking good, and is only gonna get better with free projectiles from the tree and the vaal gem etc.

    You can raw dog frostblades all the way to red maps without too much issue - just make a hybrid ele claw for trinity and go nuts. I have no idea where all the weird doom and gloom about heatshiver is coming from other than the general malaise of the PoE reddit being full of butthurt 24/7.

    Vinland Saga starts out pretty slow but is actually getting good again by like episode 8-9. Is there some actual reason why everyone named Thor-something is like a god amongst men or did they just kinda do that by accident.

    Huh yea I had to actually go test it cause I thought for sure all the splits went back to the mob, but I guess I just never noticed in all the projectile spam chaos.

    The lower hit timing on throw should let you get a bunch of extra random hits off the returning mark projectiles. Throw decelerates as it returns to origin point, and when the origin point is the boss itself you get maximum time of lowest proj speed of them. Obviously every hit based proj is...

    Yea them calling out diadem changes really makes me inclined to think there won't be any other various rarity adjustments, but guess we'll find out.

    Yea it's unclear how the new mastery is going to work, so will just kinda have to feel it out. By 'not needed' previously that just meant you were able to freeze without it, at which point it becomes entirely pointless since longer duration freezes didn't matter - all that matter is that it...

    Path of Exile

    You need the 40% freeze duration early on when your damage isn't great, but end up getting rid of it eventually cause you just don't need it. So for leaguestart you likely annoint for a while until you just no longer need it at all.
