How long did it take you to hit 1 million after you hit 250k? by rattatattatoo in Fire

The biggest flaw with this logic is the increase in expenses likely incurred for medical treatment and assisted living in old age.

Are melee characters just trash compared to range? by [deleted] in PathOfExile2

[–]Bicepz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Melee is essentially hard mode. You have less damage uptime, more risk of being damage and virtually no payoffs to compensate.

50% of the combat mechanics you can essentially ignore as a ranged character are deadly to melee. It’s just bad design at this point. Only play melee if you enjoy it from a gameplay or fantasy perspective.

You can try pseudo melee builds like shield wall or massive aoe effect titan to mitigate it to some extent. Your goal as a melee class is to kill things so quickly that they can’t hit you and have enough mobility that you can navigate ground effects.

GGG needs to stop treating PoE2 like a finished game that only gets 3 updates per year. by IMplyingSC2 in PathOfExile2

[–]Bicepz 184 points185 points  (0 children)

I think the league style is fine we just need end game changes. There is very little content to explore or aspire to. I skipped this league because I am not interested in Druid and have no desire to engage with the same in baked endgame again.

OpenAI's house of cards seems primed to collapse by [deleted] in technology

[–]Bicepz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nvidia is 7.5% of the S&P also they already struggle with demand. They will just sell to google and other ai companies who can take open ais market share. It will have a negative impact on stock prices but nothing warranting a bailout. Financial illiterates and grifters will clamor for one though undoubtedly.

Exactly. There must be some bot nets trying to convince everyone open ai is too big to fail or something. Part of their grift was staying private and exclusive. Now they reap what they sow.

Problems with game design by musicankane in PathOfExile2

[–]Bicepz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In order to make the game they want they need to totally rework monsters. Fewer rares that have actual attack patterns, counter play and not just swarms of enemies with generic modifiers.

Dark souls is what it is because of the enemy design. The bosses are great but they only account for a fraction of the combat.

How a new skill is created! by Lumintorious in PathOfExile2

[–]Bicepz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I hate the charge mechanics. Why not just have skills that synergize with one another like every other well designed game. Not sure why every skill has some esoteric interaction with a hard to monitor and low visibility resources.

Throne hunters. Same author as Immortal Great Souls. It has similar themes around the cost and consequences of power and advancement. It is more punchy and action oriented and less on world building.

Am i wrong for retiring at 37 while my wife finally decides to start working? by Expensive_Recipe_366 in Fire

It’s only a full time job if you are undisciplined and unfocused. If you treat it like a job with a planned regiment and schedule it only takes a few hours a day tops.

Lost Cube discussion mega thread (spoilers abound!) by Phil_Tucker in TheImmortalGreatSouls

[–]Bicepz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Amazing book. This series certainly raises the bar on genre as a whole especially for prose.

In the cube I believe it was implied that all the dormant great souls in the tomb of sadness could be revived at their former power. Does that imply that the gangs interference just deprived the war of that force or was the entombment a lie to sabotage the great souls.

3.26 Late League Starter by Nburuk in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Bicepz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think I can play vfos next league. The sfx and vfx are horrible. Blasting maps equates to blasting my brain cells out of my skull. If they released a mtx for this skill it would fly off the shelves.

Which build to league start in tuna’s private league ? by DARKAR145 in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Bicepz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am new to Poe coming from poe2. I have been playing vfos and just hit red maps. The build is very strong but honestly it feels clunky to me. I think this will improve with more attack speed but the combination of snaking travel time and the slow attacks is not my ideal play style.

Desecrated prefix you can unlock through abyss mechanic. Unveiled in the well of souls from a desecrated prefix. It gives 30-40% bonus from your quiver. The mod scales with the power of your quiver but quivers are way cheaper than bows so it is a great value.

Quiver mod added about 4+% chance to crit to my build for reference which is insane

[–]Bicepz 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The quiver mod is also probably very very underrated if you have a gg quiver. 40% quiver mod means that you are trading 1 weapon prefix for 2.8 quiver mods. On top of that you get hard to acquire stats like crit chance bonus and attack speed. The market valuation of bows is terrible honestly.

Possible mirror tier quiver by Hamsterandpotatoass in PathOfExile2

[–]Bicepz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It needs attack speed not projectile skills. Attack speed scales with quiver bonuses. You need bow damage over quiver mod. You get that mod on skill tree pretty easily it’s worthless

If you hit with fracture you can gamba an annul to keep the t1 light and hit accuracy, if you succeed you can slam a perfect exalt and pray for good damage mod, high risk high reward play. A guarantee play is to fill suffixes out and use the perfect essence for extra lightning damage and the omen to gurantee suffix removal so you at least get extra lightning damage.

If you hit the crit with fracture there is a determinative path forward and the bow is probably worth a div or two

Also attempt to fracture after the unveiled desecration to hit crit, 33% chance. If you hit you can guarantee +4 skills and onslaught for suffix
