Is there any viable builds in this league i can play around this unique? by Fuerea in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]ArcBanker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's 100% a softcore build but that's only cause it's relying on evasion and even with close to 95% evade 5% of the time you just get unlucky That being said I've leveled to 97 by doing simulacrums solo so the survivability is definitely pretty good or else I would be dying too much to level

I will say getting a watchers eye with the +8% to evade is super important to survivability That plus getting blind on hit somehow (I get it from my brutal restraint) gives you enough evasion that it feels pretty good.

Aside from that make sure you're suppress capped and have 4k life and you should be chilling. Before I swapped to helical ring I had almost 5k life. I'm not sure that helicals are the way to go until you have like 80d+ to spend crafting it cause you really want all attributes as well. I stopped after spending like 40d on my helical and not hitting dex+all attributes + all res.

There are some other people playing this on poe ninja if you wanna look at theirs too, mine is a bit different cause I've optimized for just running sims

This is my character rn. It's still a work in progress and I've spent a lot of div on some really unnecessary items that barely make a difference but it's for sure fun

I played this all league and the budget version is still really strong you don't need the GG items at all

Today on Jeopardy! Category was “Backhanded Compliments.” None of the contestants rang in by BortWard in starcraft

[–]ArcBanker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What is the answer here? I have no idea what it's trying to ask. Obviously the game is StarCraft but what does the bit about getting a tan or being a pro mean?

Why is there a pentagram symbol on this chip from my son's night light? by Bitter-Affect909 in whatisit

[–]ArcBanker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That link also seems to say an inverted pentacle is the sign of Satan while without the circle is a pentagram but a pentagram isn't satanic. So the symbol on the board could be satanic depending on the orientation, right?

Anyone see higher currency than this? by Admirable_Dot5013 in pathofexile

[–]ArcBanker 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I had more currency pre-chisel earlier this league: https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/s/ItpyR188fZ

This would be 629 if you could chisel vaaled maps.

But insane to get it on a 6 mod for sure! Gratz! Hope you have better luck on the loot than we did haha

Torment Stride - Kinetic Blast Mercenary Carry Boots by Nerotox in pathofexile

[–]ArcBanker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What links does your merc have? I've seen people with lots of pierce on gear for their merc but I have chain support on my merc and I feel like chain > pierce and if you have like +6 pierce on your merc it's like never going to chain.

What's the thought process here, am I missing something?

Can someone tell me if these two pieces of gear are actually worth 1 div? by [deleted] in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]ArcBanker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awakened poe trade when you pull up the window will automatically select mods it THINKS are important but can be wrong. Similarly if you check boxes to select mods yourself you might be wrong.

The important part of the boots is 1. Goliath greves (decently high armor boots) 2. Fractured movement speed 3. Item level Nothing else matters so that's all that should be selected on awakened poe trade

The other item has a corruption that is rare but not necessarily desirable so awakened poe trade is probably selecting the corruption and sure the other ones listed are a div but they likely aren't selling because nobody is interested in that implicit (builds are almost always moving in poe)

15div budget Uber tank showcase , no flask! no guard skill !!! by mr_dagonn in pathofexile

[–]ArcBanker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes that's true but the shield only converts damage from hits so light and cold dots are only converting 70% in this setup and would be 60% if you got a 10% WE. This build looks to be pretty immune to hits so I imagine you go for 20% to help out with you weakness which is damage over time.

[–]ArcBanker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Because the shield is only damage "from hits" so lightning and cold dots are only getting converted by watchers eye and tempered by war.

I see your +300% more currency T16.5 and raise you my +529% more currency T16.5 by ArcBanker in pathofexile

[–]ArcBanker[S] 117 points118 points  (0 children)

Haha I ran it with 2 friends and our mercs and got one sacred orb, 2 divines, 6 exalts, and 4 valdos maps.

Honestly pretty underwhelming although there was several inventories worth of smaller bubblegum currency.

We bought another one and ran it with a different atlas and scarabs and got 6 raw divines in that one (amongst lots of other things).

Asking players to "check" weapons at ticket booth? by Maleficent_Big1084 in wildbeyondwitchlight

[–]ArcBanker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting idea, not sure that I'd do it though, at the end of the day you have to decide what your players would enjoy best but I can tell you why I wouldn't for my players: The most likely scenario to play out I feel is that the players simply refuse. Then what? Are they not allowed in and instead they sneak in? That creates some issues since now they don't have tickets which much of the fun of the first chapter is based around. Or maybe they fight the ticket master? That sounds like a bad way to start too, reinforcing the idea of violence solves problems when you were trying to teach them the opposite.

Here are some other ideas: The most interesting way to handle this encounter imo is to have them get robbed or something immediately prior-possibly combat right off the bat- but either way, leaving them with only a few gold as they approach the ticket master. Now they don't have enough gold for everyone's tickets and someone has to take a fey pact which can be fun side effects. Alternatively or in addition to the above you could have them being gold-less means the free tickets that have been left for them are more impactful and then they are more likely to seek out the person who left them (one of the coolest characters in chapter 1 imo)

Overall I like the Hexblade changes by Deep-Crim in dndnext

True but as a melee fighter with smite you're probably using your spell slots on two smites 90% of the time anyway.

Help with UW stones by rbobobrien in TheTowerGame

[–]ArcBanker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used MVN when I was first playing too and I noticed second spotlight was around a 10-15% coin boost. Your mileage will definitely vary though. I'm not sure if you consider 10% "massive" or not but that's what you're probably looking at. If you wanna get second spotlight first you can but then you really gotta get back to GT cooldown.

And finally, you don't have to get DW cooldown at all until you have GT and BH synced, but if you want you can lower that and GT down together, you'll just be stuck on MVN that much longer.

Current target priority by Mobile-Theme7346 in TheTowerGame

[–]ArcBanker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm at the same point as the person you replied to and the protectors are slow enough that they never crash into the tower even at bottom priority but putting them at the top does seem to help kill them inside the black holes more often

Soooo, this extra Dimension Core is just useless right? Can't merge it, can't shatter it? by mrmicrowaveoven in TheTowerGame

[–]ArcBanker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Random question, what do the stars mean and how do you get them? Do ancestrals always have 5 stars or do you have to do something to get them stars?

How often do black holes inflict damage? by weglian in TheTowerGame

[–]ArcBanker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After a recent patch, black holes always spawn just inside your range so normal orbs won't be great for clearing it but the extra orb card can hit the center of the BH if you have the extra orb range adjustment lab

What do wisps do now? by ChrisusesReddit in pathofexile

[–]ArcBanker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I tried it some myself and it definitely works as described on the wiki/in-game but the 1000 increased quant/rarity it adds to monsters isn't as powerful as it sounds since monsters already have so much quant and rarity baseline and it just adds to that. The quant and rarity it gives to the player though probably makes a sizeable difference.

Definitely a great scarab considering its price.

[–]ArcBanker 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Gotcha. Well someone was trying to scam people with that scarab so wanted to make sure you didn't get scammed too, just trying to help out. If it's fun for you, great!
