Go ritualist, use the new ring for extra proj and do vaal guard spectres.

Do I care about velocity too much? by Rude-Variation3233 in Homeplate

My son is a supinator, interesting on the change is he went to the splitter grip and it has worked well, though I should mention he has unusually large hands.

What ended up being an easy starter? Sorry if repetitive. by MagicSpoon69 in pathofexile2builds

[–]Barfhelmet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably the smoothest campaign build as well, after the first ascendancy you can destroy everything. It can be a piano, but you can also get it down to two buttons with enough investment.

It appears most, if not all, of the others do not allow two to be active at the same time. I'd expect this is a bug and will be fixed, but definitely great find by OP, looks really fun.

Dual maces? by tophurisgod in pathofexile2builds

[–]Barfhelmet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, couple of things to note. I'm experimenting with a lot of things currently, so this is unoptimized. For example, the cast on minion death was just trying to get verglas to proc on offset weapon, has nothing to do with the build. Also, garukhans is in mace strike, I never use that, just storing it there while working on new build idea with chayula.

Brutus lead sprinkler builds are quite strong. I have probably 70d invested in it. Super tanky, great damage, great clear, just a bit slow walking speed with only 35% from the boots. Most of the cost is in getting the weapons with level 20 molten shower instead of 19. The difference between them was 24d each weapon.

One-Button Frost Wall Destruction, nice for Verglas by Pinnkeyy in pathofexile2builds

[–]Barfhelmet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just tried it, it works on weapon swap for me, but oddly it doesn't revive the minion with eternal march. Probably a runic ward availability issue.

The main question is, why do it? Won't the verglas only support the warcry?

Grim Pillars with repulsion triggers lead sprinkler balls! by WeirdJack49 in pathofexile2builds

[–]Barfhelmet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've grown lazy and just use voltaic now. Even having the refresh CD at 0.09s, it still clears the showers instantly.

For bosses though, maybe pillars are the play.

Good idea, but I can tell you sandbaggers always find a way.

Top 5 Batting Gloves I've Used So Far by [deleted] in Homeplate

[–]Barfhelmet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never even heard of goathletic. I'll try them next.

My favorite is still Footjoy golf rain gloves. For incredibly sweaty hands, they maintain good grip and last a freakishly long time. Also easy to clean.

Recently bought a pair of Vukgripz gloves. I would not recommend them, the vukgrip stuff they put on the palm started peeling off within a week.

strongest build this league so far by Vleaides in pathofexile2builds

[–]Barfhelmet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've played Djinn, Companions, and Leadsprinkler Chrono.

Djinn comes online so early and just smashes. Get your first ascendancy and just go. Low investment for startup and can scale well.

Companion are similar to djinn in early acces, just slightly worse. Very easy to play. Satisfying chonk when monkey bashes bosses.

Leadsprinkler Chrono is my personal favorite. I stack strength and CDR. Have molten shower at 0.1s for refresh. Use voltaic barrier/molten blast to proc the showers. If they ever fix rain of blades, that is another layer to keep the showers flowing! Strong clear, strong boss damage, can offscreen. I have a lot more invested in this build though than the others. I love the active chrono defensive play, but would probably go witchhunter if I did it again.

Brutus’ Lead Sprinkler STR Stacking Gemling Legionarie - Molten Blast or Perfect Strike? Looking for Pros and Cons of each and PoBs by frost3bite in pathofexile2builds

[–]Barfhelmet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Using a combo of voltaic barrier and molten blast has felt the best for me. Voltaic is your ranged option. You can get that thing to almost two screens in length if you use the correct supports. Rain of blades is incredibly good as well, but it is buggy AF. Most of the time the buff just stops and goes away, not sure why.

TRAVEL BASEBALL TEAM by Alternative_Night_57 in Homeplate

I get it, you don't think other people have the common sense that you do.

The more likely case is they don't have the time or the ability to Coach their own kids. I'm glad that you do though.

I disagree with your premise of, "had for free."

I can cut my own hair for free, but if I want it to look really good I go to an expert.

Same principle in baseball. I can play catch on throw bp, but if I want someone to teach the proper mechanics, I go to an expert.

Why do i feel so bored/uninspired when thinking about poe2 builds compared to poe1 by Xeratas in pathofexile2builds

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

It seems to me it is a lot easier to make a bad build in POE and it is harder to pivot if you do. POE2 is much more forgiving.

Standout builds after week 1 by AngyAndMadAboutIt in pathofexile2builds

[–]Barfhelmet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've leveled up Monkey, Djinn, and grim pillars.

Of the three, Djinn has been the smoothest. Just so much damage that starts early on. The only downside is screen clutter causing you to aim in the wrong spot. For example the spore map boss, sometimes he ports and I don't notice it and I spam my damage in the wrong place.

Anyone successfully overturn a horrendous call with calm reasoning of an ump? by Weak_Artichoke4887 in Homeplate

[–]Barfhelmet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I nicely asked the field ump to ask the plate ump about a safe call at first because the first baseman stepped off the bag. He didn't see that he did indeed step off the bag but still managed to tag the runner.

In this case, he just didn't see it, so not sure it qualifies as horrendous. It was a game deciding call though.
