Thanks. Sorry for shitting up the thread. I've put close to a hundred hours in(total, not this league), so I'm likely going to buy some stash tabs soon. Not sure what to play next if flicker strike isn't end game viable.

She found your funnel, didn't she?

Finally made it past my personal A4 Cruel hurdle! I've been having a ton of fun with Flicker Strike but I'm having a big problem determining why I can't flicker strike. I ran out of frenzy charges? This usually doesn't happen except when I get really lazy and decide to go in empty into a big...

I use the word dev because QA seems to be treated like second-class citizens in software. But ever since I graduated in 2005, I've been stuck in test, be it hardware or software :( I switched to software three years ago, been trying to use this job as maybe an opportunity to learn as a software...

There's a not a whole lot of formal process here. The meat of what you said is true, but if I had to deal with 6 sigma shit like I did back at IBM, I'd probably turn it down. Which, of course, if I was at IBM, there'd be more paths for career improvement without going into management. I just...

As long as they give us some cool shit to distract us, like 100% immersive virtual reality, ignore away! Fuck, hook me up to the matrix for all I care. Ignorance is bliss.

Every year, I find something stupid that the previous owners planted and tear it down. Mostly it's excuses to make overall maintenance easier. Like wtf do I need a cherry tree for when the birds just eat all of them? But I was especially pissed when I had to pay $600 to have a giant silver...

I've owned a house for almost 4 years and sometimes I want to go back to renting.

I love the way the edge screen looks but fuck, premium phones are expensive enough as it is. Gonna buy a OPO likely just out of spite. I mean, they're great phones too, hope they don't fuck up the whole package with a low ppi pentile screen.

Anyone have advice on transitioning from dev to manager? Ups, downs, don't do it, etc? My boss is retiring at the end of the month and this is an opportunity to move up. And considering this is a small company, probably a very rare one too. Ideally, I'd like to stay in programming, but...

haha!

Yes

No idea, bad habit of mine. Save stuff in case you need it later. Vorici's missions where you have to pick a chest while a dude beats on you is annoying. And if you have too much AE dps, killing a dude's guards but not the dude is also annoying.

No, I skipped most of those because I thought they were end game crafting only. Guess I'll try again. I have a problem of hoarding most currencies and not using them. Hope Vorici's crafting is that useful. His missions are ass.

Bolognese is richer via panchetta and sometimes dairy. It's also stewed for a while to break down connective tissue.

I really hope 3.0 smooths out their leveling progression into maps. D3 has them beat quite easily in that regards. Dieing too often? Turn down the difficulty just a bit. Also, here's some fucking loot once in a while instead of being stuck with the same shit for the last 20 levels because...

Gonna start with a Terminus Est Flicker Assassin and abuse that double dip poison. Depending how well that does, might stick with it or try out a pure cold Frost Blade Raider.

Are there any other builds that are similar to Frost Blades and Flicker Strike in play style? I like frenetic, aim-but-not-really-aim machine gun builds. For comparison, Blessed Shield from D3 is probably my favorite build, charge barb being close second. Special mention for SSS monk when...

Yeah, been leveling up one in standard to give it a try and I'm having the same problems. Kinda sucks because I like the no-aim, rapid fire play style that multistrike support adds to some skills. But then at the same time it's like asking to get one shot. I wonder if there's a CI-based variant.

Didn't they already have that with Oro's Sacrifice? Terminus Est doesn't look to have enough damage to last through the end game. There's this build too that I think I'm going to do for starter: Forum - Ranger - [2.5] Zelkor's Era of Flicker [Compact Build Plan] - Path of Exile They added a...

They're ejecting from the Normandy to crash land on some volcanic planet and they're like "Yeah...standing is good". Fucking Wrex is going to wrex them. I mean, the other shit is more egregious but I thought I'd pile on with stuff other people hadn't mentioned.

Typo, but still works!

You mean the next time it's inserted and has FoH and date written somewhere?

Is there a lower ceiling on what a life-based melee character can survive versus a CI-based melee or just plain ranged? Assuming equal gear levels. Seems you run into random one-shot territory sooner as a life-based melee.

Probably the same as it does with Unearthed Raptor. I don't remember how N'Zoth reacts with that card, but it's gotta be the same! 5/7 for 5 isn't bad.

Do these quests cards count against your opening hand? Or do they just appear after the mulligan, like the coin?

I've been noticing the zones are somewhat deterministic. Like what zone wall is exit is on based on the world map. But is it even more so? Guess I'll have to pay more attention. Up next on builds to try out: flicker strike raider.

How is that possible? I was skipping all side quests and zones except the ones that reward skill points. I was only getting waypoints for zones I knew I'd have to come back to later. I was still at least 4 level above the zone level for most of the game. I was at 58 by A4 cruel and the gap...

Stop and farm before reaching maps seems like a failure. Like if I got stuck at level 65 in diablo 3. But still, good advice, so thanks. I think Frost Blades might be a bad first character. I'm giving Cyclone a try now. It's a decent skill but I don't know what it is about this game that I...

Maybe a Frost Blade Ranger is not a good first character, but I thought with some twink gear from the guild stash, it would be ok. Currently stuck in Act 4 Cruel where I can machine gun down most packs but bosses take some zerging. I'm experiencing a few problems: Too fragile. I haven't been...

This seems like the perfect thing for weapon swapping. Kinda silly there's no 6L one handers. But I understand it from a balance perspective. Just seems like a fundamental flaw in their system. I want faster attacks for single target, chain for packs.

There's also Ewar's Mirage for swords. Or you could socket in a chain support(in place of...elemental focus?). Going deadeye just for chain seems a bit extreme.

I've been liking Frost Blades more since trying them again, thanks for the recommendation @Caliane. I'm having trouble picking between Raider and Pathfinder. Raider is pretty easy to quantify since the bonuses from Frenzy charges and Onslaught should always be up. How consistent is...

Just do them a favor back. Point them to one of your threads in Screenshots for hours of viewing pleasure.

That explains the change in behavior. So, we can assume if you find a job you'll go back to spamming banana pictures?

Can I get a guild invite? Steam name is dethwing6.

Am I remembering incorrectly? I thought not targeting anything with frost blades will cause you to essentially attack nothing.

Frost blades is a nice skill. My beef with it is the targeting is a bit shit. Accidentally second-closest dude from you? Now you have to spend 2x the amount of time killing the lone survivor. Or if you got a pack of dudes on you, the skill rarely hits the dudes to the side(melee splash might...

Any suggestions for good starter builds for the next league? Yes, I know 2.6 notes aren't released yet. But I think this type of game plays a whole lot better if you have a general idea of what you're building towards and I just don't know the game well enough to do that on my own. I like how...

Still farting around, learning the game, what items to pick up, what items not to pick up. I like the look of howa elementalist. Haven't had a ton of time to play, my shadow is still level 35 and I haven't completed the labyrinth. Do league-specific items not drop as much outside of league?
