    Path of Exile

    I chased Frostblink of Wintry Blast as a main skill for a while. If you can cheat the cast speed and maximize the chill effect, it has damage effectiveness rivalling old hexblast. It has some clunk that I could never overcome except with echoing shrines. I wonder if that new belt that gives...

    Lol, mamba nerf is brutal when paired with binos buff. I mean, I called it over buffed when they removed melee totems, just the timing is bad.

    I don't know what can be gleaned from that preview besides Zarokh. Would be extra funny if they revamped Sanctum with Trial of the Sekhema, even if mostly redundant.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    I care to the extent that it might come back to me and risk my job. FWIW, I pretty much agree with everything you're saying. But that also doesn't prevent higher ups from using you as a scapegoat. I'm in a weird spot where almost the entire company is open source, so who gives a fuck if code...

    Most programmers don't understand AI enough to make this judgment(I include myself in that group). How can we expect lawyers to do so?

    Diablo II - Resurrected

    Hatorade is correct, that is still quite cheap relative to other hobbies. There was a small tangent in the desktop thread, at what price does hardware and electricity make gaming comparable? I'm not sure we came to a conclusion other than "we're not there...yet" and "sucks that we're starting...

    How do you guys prevent exfiltration of proprietary code and sensitive information by AI? Assume, if you aren't already, that I'm extremely uninformed on this topic. I have a long list of negatives wrt AI, but one fuckup and oops, source code is now part of some LLM's training model makes me...

    Band of Brothers

    My kid and I recently watched Band of Brothers, Saving Private Ryan, and 1917. It was a real chore to get through BoB and he fell asleep during some of the less action oriented episodes. SPR was better but I still had to poke him a few times. The death camp scenes nor the gore seemed to phase...

    When I looked, prismatic oil was 330c in Phrecia. I usually exclude those prices from my league start pob. Either way, I'd much rather they add more sources of target range. Weapon strike range might compensate, but that's not a common stat either.

    Path of Exile

    My run through Phrecia 2 made me really miss Siones and you'll probably feel it even more without giant EH aoe. Still, some interesting ideas. Not being able to utilize bleed always irked me. My guess is that some streamer will make a build video and it will get Katabasised.

    Now, to ponder whether Xevy is making a good faith argument that despite the evidence on this very page that I'm still enthusiastic about build theorycrafting, the game itself has changed deleteriously due to things like T17 affixes and PoE2. :emoji_thinking:

    I agree. After they nerfed corpse skills and left corrupting fever/cry to rot, I was having trouble finding a dirt cheap league starter. Which means this will be nerfed next league. I come back to these builds months later, when the reasons for decisions have long left my brain. In this...

    This is where I wound up. I'm not a fan of the phys max hit, I think this event needed more than just 65/65 block. https://pobb.in/lo3OfEpK9wX6 Were you really cycling through 3 warcries? I'm not sure I see the point of Intimidating Cry. Why didn't you put Hits Can't Be Evaded on both weapons?

    I tried abstracting so I could compare different weapons. Paradoxica, for example, is 2(double damage) * 1.56(attack speed) * 1.15(pen) * 6.5/5 = ~4.8. RWoE would be 1.375(MH attack speed averaged) * 1.35(base attack speed) * 13.2/5(OH crit averaged) * 1.1(DW attack speed) = ~5.4. A claw with...
