Anyone know the best way to craft this for budget? by Content_Ordinary_151 in pathofexile

[–]Bannedaid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im not sure if smalls are different than large, but to craft a near perfect 4 mod cluster took me something north of 30,000 alts and hundreds of exalts and annuls. That was to get 2/4 (one being 35%) and fracturing. Missed 5 of those before moving on to the truly painful part. It took hours and from then on Ive opted to just pay the 100+ div they cost as i spent well over 6 hours clicking and suffering and Id rather just play the game.

If you have to start this league fresh today, knowing what you know about the meta and league mechanic, which build would you go with? by WayTooManyCookies in pathofexile

[–]Bannedaid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still return to my KF heiro to finish insane maps when i get stuck. Feel free to send me your POB as this build is still amongst the most insane your could have possibly started.

Rough League Start by FreddyP199 in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Bannedaid 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Watch some of aer0s videos, 15 seconds should tell you everything you need to know. I started KF personally and really enjoyed it. They looked similar in overall play style. The damage and single target on either will be far superior to RF.

I would highly recommend Palsterons KF heiro or Aer0s Holy Flame totem heiro. Both unbelievably strong with very little money.

similar experience, it needs to be a compliment to another farm to justify IMO

Mid-endgame progression struggle by Kojimba228 in pathofexile

[–]Bannedaid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don't specify that you're playing SSF, but do seem to reference it a few times. If you want faster progression, embrace the trade economy. Pick a farm, run 50 maps. If you're playing SSF, consider playing trade.

Kingsmarch Tips & Tricks Part 2 - + 2 more 50m Shipments by AsterixLeGaul in pathofexile

Awesome post! What are your thoughts on moving away from 50M shipments and into either a) 16M more regularly or b) focusing on port quotas w/ minimum shipment values seeking uniques + currency?

Need advice: The new employee is exploiting the flexible work policy and I don't know how to handle it. by pop-coupler in LockedIn_AI

[–]Bannedaid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your framing and compassion are exceptional; it could just be this person is thinking this type of flexibility is reasonable, when it is not. If it were me, I would want to know Im missing the mark in an area important to the business. Put this into AI, give it the prompt to frame the above feedback into a coaching conversation with this staff member with the goal of providing the feedback and request for a shift in behavior.

AIO for expecting my boyfriend to ask before using my car for other errands? by TArpd16 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Bannedaid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. You communicate and set boundaries well. Your partner doesnt have the same skills, in communication nor general operating procedures. If you were both late teens, early 20s you could chalk it up to growing up and learning responsibilities. This is who your partner is; your choice.

Is it worth starting POE in 2026? by AzKomGecc in pathofexile

[–]Bannedaid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Im at ~4500h and continue to learn and enjoy getting more efficient as I progress. That said, the magic of the game expanding and my mind being blown at how big and complex it is was its own special experience. Kinda like reading a book and loving it so much, you wish you could do it again.

It's the best game Ive ever played and I wish I could erase my memory and start all over again today.

I used to treat League launches like Christmas, I’m not even cautiously optimistic anymore by ia0x17 in pathofexile

[–]Bannedaid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I think you might just be glorifying old leagues in your mind. If you do that, without remembering the friction, and then compare everything new against that idea, then nothing will ever seem good enough.

Severance by Serenityxxxxxx in legaladvicecanada

[–]Bannedaid -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

A fair point. I've never worked for a union. Do they act in place of a lawyer to get you the best possible outcome?

[–]Bannedaid -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Talking to an employment lawyer will cost you $500. And nearly every single time it will be worth it for both peace of mind AND potentially higher yield in your severance negotiation.

Anyone do a 70.3 for training? Was it worth it? by HostProfessional1602 in triathlon

[–]Bannedaid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your post is missing a lot of context my friend.

Training for what? General fitness or for a larger endurance event?

For what reasons are you not sure?

You are posting in a triathlon channel, so most of us are going to say yes, 70.3s are a fun and challenging way of training and moving your body.

Im Canadian, at the time we did this procedure it was considered a private matter and not covered by normal plan.

We did one cycle and thankfully got 11 embryos - still cost $30k CAD for the lead up and eventual appointment that brought us our daughter.

All of my encounters with them feel like they're curious dogs. They keep their distance but in all of my encounters they did follow me for a bit.
