    It's going to be a bunch of CI characters with chaos damage dealers and an aura running support.

    Path of Exile

    RF is fine in sanctum. You just need to realize its not your RF doing damage, its your fire traps. I didn't have much trouble clearing sanctums, killing bosses, running invocations, etc in Ruthless with less than 1 mil dps. If I can do it there, you'll be just fine in normal leagues. It's just...

    Path of Exile

    Died again on Ruthless in the top 10 to a DC at lvl 92 and think I'm going to call it a league. Ruthless is an interesting idea. It feels so much better than the regular game where every little thing has an impact. Gear you find really has an impact on your character for a long while. The sad...

    Rip. Died on my Ruthless character. This is probably the biggest hurdle the league will have. You don't really generate excess gear and it takes so long to make it back through the campaign, I'm finding it hard to find the motivation to go again. I'm not sure if its the game mode or just me...

    Path of Exile

    I did some muling of gems with other characters to make it work. Played a Shadow to the end of act 1 for Fire Trap and a Templar to level 16 for Flame Wall, Searing Bond and Wave of Conviction. It was still slow leveling but I have a feeling that's going to be anything in Ruthless. Didn't really...

    Oh and funniest moment of the day. In a league where they removed all the movement skills, they didn't remove Bronn's Lithe. That's Ruthless.

    You just need to get good. First day of HC Ruthless down. Was top 10 for getting through the story after playing way too much. Could have probably done top 5 but I had to do some muling to get required gems at the start. It's next to impossible to keep up with the cold DoTers. I should outlive...

    I have some Asenath's sitting around somewhere. Give me a few minutes and I'll edit this post with the update. Asenath's don't work either. The curse stays on the corpse but is never consumed by the Hexblast.

    Path of Exile

    Just did a quick test, it most definitely does not. The problem is that no mobs are ever considered cursed after they get 1 shot from the initial hit of hexblast, so the aoe explosions don't trigger. You can throw 4 traps but it still only kills 4 mobs unless you hit a rare or magic mob and it...

    Path of Exile

    Curse on hit doesn't work very well for Hexblast because the mapping is shit. Once you start one shotting the mobs with the initial hexblast hit, the curse never gets applied so there's no aoe explosion. Curse on hit works fine for stuff you don't kill in 1 hit but if you are doing mines/traps...

    Path of Exile

    I've been playing the Alpha a bit and its a lot of fun. It's a return of actual gear progression rather than just collecting a basic set in white maps then everything becomes currency farming for crafting. It really puts the problems with the base game into perspective. The problem isn't that...

    NHL 22-23: Tanking hard for Bedard

    Average shooting % for teams so far this season is 9.9%. Tampa is shooting 10.4% If we wanted to take shot quality into effect, we would use expected goals. They are expected to have scored 50.16 goals. They've actually scored 49. It's all in your head.

    Path of Exile

    Different strokes for different folks. Current PoE, and basically everything since Harvest league, is shit to me. It's an ARPG where the loot doesn't matter anymore outside of currency dropped so you can craft your gear. Defeats the entire basis of the ARPG genre. If Ruthless returns to those...

    Path of Exile

    I'm really looking forward to Ruthless. A game where you don't just filter out 99.9% of the drops. PoE was a lot better in the old days before speed and efficiency became the only things that mattered.

    Just join a challenge buying trade channel and you can buy 4 in no time. All in all, I have no doubt you can finish the lab and uber challenges in under 2 hours if you just want to get them done.

    DOTA 2

    Boom has been putting on quite a show. Last place in the group going into the last day of seeding, went 4-0 including 2 wins over the top team EG, now won their first game in the lower bracket. They've been a lot of fun to watch.

    God that episode was awful. It reminded me of season 8. Doesn't worry very much about the 'why?' or 'how?', just gloss over everything to get to the big event.

    Game wasn't all that popular, largely why it was shutdown.

    Ok, so 38 challenges done again. The worst of the bunch was definitely Form the Lake. Took me days worth of running nothing but Lakes before getting the 2nd ring base. It was all in HC so I cheated by buying the uber boss kills.

    Path of Exile

    This 'Form the Lake' challenge is going to break me. I'm almost done the End Game Grind for the Lakes, I've probably run 100+ more Lakes that weren't lvl 83 for it and I'm still short a ring base.

    Wouldn't be that interesting. Timmy would still do what produces the most rewards regardless of which content it is. With everything equal in rarity/quantity, it just comes down to a simple number of mobs calculation. In league mechanics terms, Timmy would still run Alva in every map he could...

    I'm really enjoying this league. Making it harder to acquire gear is exactly what the game needed. I'm thinking about actually trading in a trade league outside of the most end game of items for the first time since Harvest.

    I still don't agree that the problem is 'melee'. The good melee skills are still used frequently. Lightning Strike is still among the most used skills, Spectral Helix is ranged but it's scaling the same way and spends most of its time in melee anyway. The issue is that these skills shotgun and...

    NHL 2021-22 Season - Now A Turner Classic

    Teams going into the playoffs don't tend to move expiring contracts just sort of a general rule across the league. There's an exception every now and then but its a very hard sale to make to both the management group as well as the players. Two 1sts is also unlikely. The price for rentals don't...

    The problem I always had with Warframe was there's nothing to do at the end. You get a gun, start shooting mobs for thousands of damage and .... get more, worse, guns?
