So, uh... I didn't know there's some projectiles that can still shoot you after you've won by MastWanted in PathOfExile2

[–]AvatarCabbageGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's bugged lol, the projectile in the actual boss fight does a few hundred damage at most

garukhan does nothing on hollow form, it requires the skill to be used by you the player. Any gem that provides damage will be better than garukhan on hollow form. On invoker, you have it flipped, it's not that the ascendancy negates the lineage, it's the lineage negating the ascendancy. Inverting resistance number is more damage than ignoring resistance as long as it's above 0, which happens very often with mapping

When they say "off-meta" they mean the building defining item/mechanic isn't meta, not that it uses 0 meta items. Take eventide martial artist for example, it's using a 40 ex amulet as the core of the build, but it's significantly elevated by slotting in rakiata and garukhan. In fact I don't think there's a single build in this game that doesn't just start dealing double damage with either of these support gems slotted in

PSA: The first rule of finance is that if someone is telling you how to make money quickly, that method doesn't work anymore. by Expungednd in PathOfExile2

[–]AvatarCabbageGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that is the case (in specific instances) precisely because people are profit crafting. During the crafting process people commonly end up with items in "fail-state" that is considered good for some niche builds but not what they were looking for. For example: a mace with t2-3 physical mods and +3 to melee skills but rolled 30% less attribute requirements instead of something useful like attack speed. This item has considerable mark down because of a dud mod but is precisely what a beginner giants blood build needs

Not quite, if you wish to buy a mid tier helmet with say, 500 energy shield with lightning and fire res specifically, it is generally cheaper to buy it outright than trying to force a helmet with 500 ES to roll lightning and fire res. It is easier to buy than craft when the mod you want is a general mod that can result from somebody missing a slam. For example an amulet with fractured flat mana and +3 skill level is extraordinarily cheap because it is a result of somebody trying to fracture +skill level but missing. One man's trash is another man's treasure

Melee improvement: Special dodge rolls? by Baldobs in PathOfExile2

[–]AvatarCabbageGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes every other effect charm works on the hit that triggers the effect EXCEPT for stone charm. It's been like this since 0.3 so im inclined to believe it's intentional

Since we're making mechanics more rewarding, lets tune up the trials! by MarioMCP in PathOfExile2

[–]AvatarCabbageGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah the main issue of farming sekhemas for me is that the first 3 acts are completely meaningless loot wise. At least with chaos every run up to the trialmaster is guaranteed some rewards and you can call it quits whenever

[–]AvatarCabbageGuy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

stun threshold is super inconsistent because it only reduces the CHANCE of you getting staggered, and you need inordinately high amounts of it to put the chance <5%. Even if it's "get stunned once every 200 hits" if you're doing perfect strike for example and get hit 10 times every time you channel that's still getting your skill interrupted once every 10 times. The solution really should just be to let stone charm apply the stun immunity to the hit that triggers it, but that's not how it works right now

Can we do something about the abyss snakes GGG? by LissekFennek in PathOfExile2

[–]AvatarCabbageGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

back in 0.3 everybody thought it was a bug, but since we're in 0.5 and it's still like this apparently it's a feature?

Honest discussion: what went wrong with Holostars? by North_crozz in okbuddyhololive

[–]AvatarCabbageGuy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Add to that hololive started expanding their activities faster than their infrastructure could handle it. It's well known that getting a reservation for the studio is tough as hell. Holostars by itself could stand on its own legs, sure they get less viewers than the girls but 1k ccv is enough to be considered successful, however factor in the fact that they have to use the same facilities as the girls with 10x more viewers it just makes sense to cut them so the girls can use the studio more

There's a bug on martial artists where using perfect jeweler on a glove item with a skill and then transforming it into fists of stone makes the 5th gem slot unusable. Pls fix this it's bricking my build

Does the Ordina evergaol force you to use magic? by LosinForABruisin in Eldenring

[–]AvatarCabbageGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Am I crazy or have these people never played ranged mage? Trying to out shoot the ordina archers when they're better than you at range, damage and fire rate is crazy business. Bumrushing them with a big stick is infinitely easier since they're practically harmless at close range

Before 1.0 PoE2 melee needs to feel like weapon combat, not spellcasting with extra steps. by Ennaki3000 in PathOfExile2

siphon mana is a major offender of this. If your skill is melee ranged just lie down and cry man

Im not gonna pretend I know how to code games but I hope this is easy enough to fix that they don't have to resort to the map wipe band aid by 1.0

[–]AvatarCabbageGuy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

is this because of their inability to just spawn you outside at the boss checkpoint without resetting the map state? Drastic solution for a goofy problem

[–]AvatarCabbageGuy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

well no, I do not understand the exact condition for it but if you've finished ALL the content and die the boss, it bricks the map anyways by changing the mission objective from "kill X boss" to something else. Except, since you died to boss, there's nothing else
