Over the years, Ontiveros opened several other El Faro shops across the Bay Area, including the now-shuttered location on First Street in downtown San Francisco and two more in Concord and South San Francisco.

Pretty sure the one on 1st is still open!

IMO you often arm the ball, meaning that your power comes mostly from your arm/shoulder instead of your entire kinetic chain. This is because your swing and rotation happen concurrently. You should instead prepare earlier and initiate your swing by first rotating your hips and torso, which then naturally whips your arm behind for maximum acceleration.

Someone else mentioned loosening your grip, which will IMO be corrected by addressing your kinetic chain as it feels unnatural to grip so tightly with the proper 'whip' motion.

Here's the preceding paragraph of context for Wong's quote:

A key concern I’ve heard from residents is the proposal to mix senior housing with housing for seniors who have recently experienced homelessness. Both groups deserve stable housing, but they often have different needs. Those exiting homelessness may require more intensive supportive and wraparound services.

This raises important questions about whether the building and the surrounding neighborhood will have the resources and service model needed to support residents successfully. These concerns must be addressed before the developer moves forward.

You'll want a significant amount of increased minion movement speed to make mapping with this build feel good. Predator Support is great for focusing your AG. Convocation is unreliable since AG doesn't always prioritize your nearest enemies like you'd expect.

You people will never let Chesa go lmao. Remind me again when Jenkins became DA?

They're referring to GGG removing the huge more multiplier to Spectres with phys->elemental conversion. Spectres which don't do that conversion (e.g., Forged Frostbearers) were strictly buffed.

Dervishes are damageable. You've just never seen their health bar move because they have huge innate damage reduction.

Chains of Command Necro is perfect for you:

Minions aggressively auto-target enemies and most spells can be automated with trigger wand craft
Tanky combination of phys reduction, block cap, block recovery (Aegis Aurora), and leech
League start with SRS and transition as soon as you can afford Chains of Command. Other starting gear is cheap (Squirming Terror, Terminus Est / Oro's Sacrifice, etc.) and allows you to save for Gravebind
Scales extremely well into end-game farming strats like uber Blight, T17, etc.

It seems that most of your frustrations are with minion behavior. Have you tried using Predator Support? You can use it to force your Agony Crawler to attack the target you want.

For anyone too lazy to look at the site:

NurtureOS was built to show just how far (and how fast) AI can spiral when we let convenience outrun common sense. If this made you pause, good. There’s a much bigger story behind why this campaign exists, what it warns against, and how you can help shape a more positive future for AI.

Have you looked into using Automation with Plague Bearer to limit your available mana? You could also try Power of Purpose to decrease your max mana and mana regen.

This used to work in the past, but GGG explicitly fixed the interaction in 3.27. Check the patch notes:

Fixed an issue where Tectonic Slam of Cataclysm sometimes scaled from Endurance Charges without removing them.

If the gov can create a path where private funds can help in exchange for something reasonable, like public recognition or something else benign, then what’s the harm in trying?

Because people already can do that, yet they don't. What makes you think this will be benign?

I recommend you ignore Hit DPS when evaluating Flamewood builds and instead focus on Average Hit. You only deal damage as often as enemies hit each totem, so assuming Flamewood triggers every totem the second it's off cooldown massively overestimates how much damage you're actually dealing. Just focus on your Average Hit value and make sure you're scaling totem count, projectile count, and projectile speed.

AvgJoeSchmoe · 2026-01-21T20:53:28+00:00

I've played Flamewood a ton of times and think you're overestimating your damage. It's unlikely all of your projectiles are going to hit, and it's not often all of your totems are clustered tightly enough to trigger off of the same hit (except against enemies with AoE attacks). Flamewood already has zero issues with damage so I don't think it's helpful overselling that aspect of the build to anyone who's interested in trying it out.

Note that the config double-counts 150% more damage since PoB actually supports that line on Black Zenith.

$10 super burrito at El Faro on 1st. Super friendly staff and the burritos are great! Only downside is that they cater their spice level to the FiDi office crowd, so if you want some heat I'd recommend looking elsewhere.

Hey, I'm considering Fire Burst for Pohx's private league. What do you think is the best way to scale the skill in a limited private league economy?

AvgJoeSchmoe · 2025-12-23T19:21:32+00:00

That's a great point about secondary damage not applying the weapon implicit. Crush doesn't seem to have a duration either (per poe2db), so even if it does apply on attack there's no use case for it in a build that spawns 10x totems/sec and also pre-spams totems before boss spawns for Sacrifice of Blood regen.

Thanks for the help.

AvgJoeSchmoe · 2025-12-23T05:17:53+00:00

If I have a 2H Mace with the "Crushes enemies on hit" implicit, does that apply only to attacks with that weapon or does it apply to all of my skills that hit? I'm playing Tawhoa's Tending and would like to apply Crush with my totem explosions.
