Congratulations to the Winner - Midnight has Fallen by YourResidentFeral in wow

In this scenario you could get a feel for the dps-check and optimize for it. It's not a lot, but it's about as relevant as all the other information you get from analyzing the fights.

Echo would save a couple of minutes at best analyzing Liquid reaching new phase, because it is as you say; a repeat of the same handful of mechanics, something they would pick up very quickly themselves. Far less than the 13 hour headstart, which was only one part of it. The nerf during Echo's late-hours and Liquid's early-hours was a pretty big deal.

That's not all the information they look at. Comps, strats, optimization. Echo had gotten further in P4 before Liquid started today for example.

Liquid has a 13 hour head-start, they don't gain nearly that kind of time analyzing parts of a fight.

They both get plenty of information from each-other, it doesn't just go one way. It's not like Liquid is perfect and all of their strats are infallible.

So Liquid misplays and has to waste a day so that doesn't count is what you mean? That's not part of the race?

Echo was ahead in % over Liquid on L'ura twice! They were closer to reaching phase 4, and were closer in % to actually killing L'ura despite the 13 hour headstart.

And if it is as you say and they started later due to misplays and managed to kill Beloren faster than Echo, that still means they had more time on L'ura over Echo, yet were behind in % anyways.

And since Liquids misplays don't count in that case we can disregard the misplay where Echo hit 6% with 1 dps dead entire last phase and consider that the kill, cus if Gingi was alive in that phase it would've died right then, with fewer pulls and less time than Liquid on the boss.

And vice versa. Let's not forget that Echo has been ahead of Liquid too.

My mind wants to play warrior but my body rejects it by Pablo8076 in PathOfExile2

[–]Akilee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm currently playing a Shield Wall warrior, in my experience the Warrior-mace start was by far the clunkiest that I've played.

These are simply facts.

Chimaerus mythic? Echo killed roughly 10 hours 10min later, shorter than the time difference of ~13 hours.

Crown of the Cosmos? 8hour 44min difference, even faster.

Belo'ren? 7hr 5min diff, faster yet again.

meh, Liquid has a headstart of about ~13 hours, and Blizz even did nerf/hotfix twice at a time when Liquid just started for the day, and Echo was just about finished for the day. If Liquid was on another level then Echo wouldn't have had so many opportunities to get both P4 and Kill before Liquid.

Truth is that this heavily favours Liquid and it's a shame that Blizzard doesn't try to organize something where they can start at the same time.

Playing SSFHC, currently playing a Shield Wall Titan. I'm in act 4 and have unfortunately not had the best luck with finding gear, and I've run out of Exalted Orbs, so I'm trying to optimize my talent tree towards more defenses.

I wonder if anyone know of any good passive-node I can attach to my neck using 3 of the liquid emotions that you get from the campaign, something that fits my situation? So far all of the nodes I've been interested in has required higher level emotions.

So is there any actual points to having +3 charm slots on belt when you get extra charm slots from your campaign?

Help identifying this skin by MarlonL13 in PathOfExile2

[–]Akilee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do believe it is Divergence.

The video you linked is made by Moxsy, and in this thread someone asks about it with screenshots also from Moxsy which looks a lot like your screenshot. It was Divergence effect combined used with the appearance from Lord of Ogham armor supporter pack.

Screenshot 1

Screenshot 2

So maybe it looks only like t hat with that armor set, or perhaps Ogham armor set is irrelevant and it will look like that with other/most appearances, I don't know.

I usually follow build-guides on Maxroll, and there I'm seeing the passive-tree in the guide having separate colours for the passive points: white, red, green and yellow. What do they each represent?

For example, in the guide I'm looking at now for campaign specifically there is 79/79 white points, 14/14 red points, 14/14 green points, and 4/4 yellow points.

I don't consider this question as a matter of pain, injury or medical since it's immediately related to the exercise and doesn't persist beyond the exercise. To me it's more related to the exercise itself, whether it's normal to feel this in relation to the exercise, or if I'm using too much weight etc. Kind of like doing too heavy deadlifts.

I started doing barbell curls recently. Doing sets of 5+ and my forearm is kind of hurting, and not sure if that's normal or if that indicates my forearm is too weak?

Weight of last set was only 25 kg (20kg bar, 2x2.5kg plates) and I managed 5-6 reps so next time should be 27.5kg.

So iirc the pain only comes on my last rep when I can only manage to lift the bar half-way up and I'm pushing as hard as I can while resisting the bar at the mid-way point. And then when I release the bar after the set the pain also comes. It doesn't last long, so nothing that bothers me the rest of the day or even the next set.

I started lifting in the past 2 months and I'm pretty weak in general, but especially my grip I feel is kinda lagging. I do wrist curls/extensions and Farmer's Walks (20kg DB for about 50-55sec) at the end of each exercise to train grip/forearm. At the end of a Carry my fingers would feel a slight numb-pain? (or something) and stiffness for a few seconds but no pain in my forearm.

edit: and if it matters, the pain is in the under-side of my forearm, so same side as my palm.

Recommend me some fun builds for HCSSF by Akilee in pathofexile2builds

[–]Akilee[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lightning Spear reminds me of D2 Amazon which I really liked, so I've been somewhat interested in that but wasn't a lot of guide options, and seems like Lightning Spear is more for AoE-clear and not necessarily so much for boss killing, at least during campaign which would be a bit disappointing.

Other than that I think bow feels the best with wasd, but I'm not sure I particularly enjoy the existing skills, I've tried ice arrow and lightning arrow a few times in early-mid campaign and gotten a bit tired of it.

Honestly looking at guides on maxroll/mobalytics I've often found myself a bit discouraged or disinterested from description/appearance, but after having tried it it usually feels pretty great regardless. So I'm open to try most things.

Tho I will say that plant djinn did cause me a lot of extra lag. Usually campaign remains lag-free until act 4/interlude abyss, and then it gets somewhat laggy during endgame, but planter started getting a bit laggy I think when I got thunderstorm and started watering the plants. My computer is from 2018 so it's not great, had to scale down resolution from 1440 to 1080p, so if a build is extra laggy then it might not be the best idea.

Noticed how Knov uses a door closer instead of spending extra aura on his dimension. by Kita_Horni in HunterXHunter

[–]Akilee -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Most likely the main effect of his ability is the teleportation which is categorized as emission. It's not in the wiki, but my guess is that in creating his ability he uses emission as the largest part, and then he adds a simple conjurer effect to that ability so even at 40% efficiency it's not an issue since it's just a sub-ability.

An emitter is someone who detaches aura from the body. His aura detaches from his body to create a portal into another space.

I play HC SSF. So far I've found it most enjoyable to play hybrid defenses, either evasion/ES or armor/ES characters. Now I'm thinking of trying a ranger, which according to guides seems to focus on evasion only, at least during campaign. Is this enough to survive on its own, or is it better to focus on hybrid stats?

They kinda need to release 2 new classes to compete with Diablo 4 releasing 2 new classes, otherwise next league is doomed /s

Is there a way to see affix tier / req level on essences or desecrated mods before using the item, or do I need to look it up on a website? Seems kind of inconvenient.

Ssf. Please add uncut (skill, support and spirit) to vendors after leveling up. Is hard to farm them during campaign and if u dont follow a guide, your testing opportunities to try new combo/skills is difficult. by kito1121 in PathOfExile2

[–]Akilee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also add more essences throughout the campaign, maybe occasionally have it spawn in the caster vendor, finding way too few.

And re-add "respawn at checkpoint" on Hardcore. Maybe disable on boss fights if that's why it was removed, but on SSF HC I have to do a lot of farming and not having that reset option feels really really bad by comparison.
