    Luckily for people who generate a non-insignificant chunk of the currency and items in the economy, aurabots and HH aren't exclusive! I have no idea where you're going with this whataboutism with aurabots. Aurabots, group currency farming, and even just party play itself are issues in PoE, but...

    So now you're equating a group member to one item but saying that item shouldn't be nerfed?

    That's kinda the point, they're designing content around a novelty item. Pretty sure Delirium encounter was affected by this. Can your shitty Mjolner Raider clear 100% Delirious T19 triple Beyonded 6-man maps?

    I don't see how those are similar. Boss drops rarely fuel the economy since access to them is gated by drops. Thus, kill speed is a small percentage of that content. Compared to bossing, maps are basically unrestricted. Thus, speeding up clear speed with HH can greatly distort the economy.

    Attack instead of phys. Phys gets you cheap explodey chests. Which, personally I don't care about, but I'm pretty sure tailwind/elusive boots and explodey chests are fueling their reaction to not make this core right now.

    Coronavirus Updates, Important Information, and Ancedotal Experience

    Hope of a vaccine and deaths due to inadequate healthcare since hospitals are over capacity are the counterpoints to this. That said, I don't like that there isn't major discussion for selective lockdowns. Quarantine people at risk while letting healthy individuals work. Tune the lockdown...

    Pretty emphatic meh, honestly. There were a few things they can learn from this system, like the value of targeted annuls and exalts. But the system overall was quite rough. Setting up and managing your garden is beyond gay. You can harvest long streaks of T1 plots without finding valuable...

    Bottled Faith is probably imbalanced in terms of power and ubiquity. But in terms of cost(5-15 exalts) it's probably a perfect chase item.

    Statistically, you're correct. Optically, it's essentially Headhunter. Among those most visible(streamers), it's being played at a decent rate. Octavian mentioned that he had asked his twitch chat whether Headhunter should exist. The answer was overwhelmingly no. He seemed a bit surprised...

    Hearthstone

    The core of the deck is PokeIt, Frost Nova, Tortollan Pilgrim, Potion of Illusion, and some minion that deals damage from hand. The rest of the deck is quite fungible. The deck will be nerfed or warp the meta fast enough to consistently kill before turn 8. The latter will likely happen any...

    Yeah, it's not a great situation. I'd rather play against priest than that deck.

    Of course it will, but hopefully they won't remove cluster jewels to do it. I had the same reaction to herald stacking and I'm kinda annoyed it's still around. But this kind of thing shouldn't knee-jerk cluster jewels. Path of Exile: Warlords of Wraeclast launches on September 18th.

    Breaking shit is part of the appeal of this game. Granted, I don't have the time anymore nor am big brained enough(mostly the latter) to come up with this esoteric shit. But, when someone else does, I certainly can understand it and appreciate it. Herald stacking was a bad way to break the...

    That's why I like secondary content. I don't have the time to play out tech decisions to a large enough sample size. Let others do it for me and I'll copy their decks.

    IDK, I think the meta is pretty good. I'm playing Pure Paladin ;) More seriously, I'd support a better CCG if I thought it existed. That might have been MTGA, but I'm a white male, so I can't play it. Note that "better" also means secondary content that's not the game itself. Deck...

    MTG thread

    So, Hearthstone's most recent expansion required 5 balance patches to knock Demon Hunter(class introduced in said expansion) off the top spot in the meta. And if a new expansion wasn't around the corner, it's debatable whether they could reclaim it yet again. So, while I get that 5 patches and...

    Are banned cards only a problem because it devalues physical product? Or is it something else, the inherent lack of QA to get it right the first time?

    I never hated Colonel Tigh, I don't know what you're talking about. He's a bit of the no-nonsense military cliche, but not hate worthy. Opposite on Baltar. One of the worst immersion-breaking characters in any series. Should have been pushed out an airlock in the first episode, just on...

    Brutul is likely right, just gotta put the hours in. This was supposed to be a 3 day project that lined up with weather and vacation(not so easy to fit this around normal house maintenance on weekends), so finding more paint more paint more paint to peel off is super frustrating.

    Probably true, but I consider myself an amateur regarding home ownership, so I always think there's something I'm doing wrong. The real annoying part is that don't remember it being this annoying last time, about 5 years ago. But, we also cut down a huge silver maple(it was growing into our...

    What's the best method for removing loose paint from a deck? I've power washed, power sanded, scraped, wire brushed, and I still can find spots that I can pick and peel paint. I've spent 10s of hours on this shit and I'm motivated enough to ask the previous owners wtf they were thinking...

    How do you determine when splitting is a structural issue? My posts, especially the ones on the outside near the westward sun, have some splitting developing. I just spent all day power washing and sanding my deck, I'm pretty sure I'm going to replace it with something synthetic in 5 years...

    I was shooting for Prismatic Heart, Doryani's Lesson, third notable is flexible, and 2nd suffix is meh.

    Finished product is 3+ ex. Problem is there's 2 life suffixes on these jewels and significant portion of non-harvest-tag mods, so blocking for successful aug is really hard. Which would explain the price. Not sure I want to invest that much more into this character, he falls over far too much...
