Gem swapping, reave for clear, mamba for single target. Or invest in some extra strikes and strike range and kludge mamba into both rolls. It was going to be ruetoo's starter this league, that 2% was going up. The nerfs were three fold originally: stop abuse of mamba's hit damage(intact)...

I don't have a way to confirm this, but it's definitely possible to attack a pack that has no ailments and cause the larger AOE. My theory is that as your strike swings through the pack, the first targets hit will splash with the normal AOE onto targets you haven't hit yet with that same swing...

I don't know how reliable that is. As in, I'm not necessarily doubting you, but that I've never used it so I have no feel for its reliability. Shield slot is a lot to give up. Even if reliable, I'm not sure sap is worth Svalinn or double foulborn Oppressor.

Note, if you really want ignites and bleeds where it matters most, apply it with some other skill that you're likely using anyway. It's common to use Vaal Lightning Strike or Static Strike to generate power charges and rage in single target, just piggy back off those. Arkhon's Tools +...

Would rather it not, honestly. Damn, yeah, nerfed 3.29 :( As in, more than just this fixing this oversight. I was expecting nerfs this patch.

During Phrecia, I bought a Fidelitas' Spike for leveling. Easily lasted until I switched to RWoE.

Next mystery: how does it interact with combat focus? If ignore, it'll be about 50% more damage than a typical ele hit setup. If affected by combat focus, the best I've gotten is ~90%. Still might be worth it for consistent cold damage and far less ramp time on single target.

Ele hit bans damage of the types not picked. No Heatshiver or small amounts of +fire for ignite, or small amounts of phys for bleeds(crit node in lower right).

Oh, hey, look, fresh faggotry. Getting close to switching browser just so I can reenable ublock origin to ungay my paid service.

Who's going to update the pooping thread now?

I've never seen banana peppers that aren't pickled.

Please explain. The abuse part. I know why the skills are shit to play.

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...

These hats are starting to border on mad libs.

Still not following you, that one only has one trans gem too. Or is there some new skill to proc the relics?

How do the lab changes help holy relic? It only has one trans gem.

Don't really have anything to add, just agree completely and a simple react felt lacking.

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.

This "ground loot" problem feels astroturfed.

Look at these amateurs, they didn't even copy the walls.

Usually that hype train is rolling by now. No QoL stopgaps, no lolfuckwalls, nothing. Just yellow sunder.

Right, it's Sanctum 2.0.

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.

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?

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...

Phys light of meaning is not cheap as it's one of the few ways to scale non-bleed phys dots.

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...

While I'm sure there are some people, especially from our age group, that it feels "wrong" to pay for digital media, I think in this case it's also: Still pushing shorts despite you knowing I don't click on them. And you won't let me block them. Still don't have anything approaching a robust...

You were IDing rares without dump tabs?

Doesn't seem like any context is missing.

Porn dogging, is that some form of bestiality? Also, you didn't answer her question.

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.

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:

How are there 1.5 leagues and an event and yet I'm still bored?

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...
