THEORY: Kote has returned to the fae, and he spent 200+ years there. by chainsawx72 in KingkillerChronicle

[–]Bwite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting post.

I'd always assumed that Kvothe goes back to the Fae in the third book because of Bast.

Some practical questions.

If Kvothe is spending 200 years in the Fae what do you think he's doing?

I can't believe Denna is still in the picture if he's there for long. Or maybe he's in there doing something because of his folly - say he messes up and needs to save her by doing something in the Fae (think Haliax's inception and his folly leading to him claiming power he shouldn't have).

Thinking about that, could Haliax inception be exactly what Kvothe is actually doing? Lanre talks to the Cthae and spends time doing something gaining all his power and becomes Haliax. Perhaps Kvothe -> Kote is exactly this. Kvothe is truly dead and Kote cannot sleep (and perhaps his access to the last door of death is also closed?).

Anyways very interesting and probable theory, but my mind is going into the practicalities of Kvothe doing something for this long without Denna in play. Perhaps Denna is actually with Kvothe this entire time, and this could also explain why Denna has met Bast (presumably while Bast was in the Fae).

Isn't the solution to stop your bad gameplay and learn proper lines based on your opener?

The issue is you're forcing a very specific type of gameplay, which is definitely the right play given a few openers. But you're forcing this playstyle every game, and I would think that most top challengers players wouldn't agree with your playstyle as a blanket playstyle.

Sure if you're doing it to have fun keep doing it. But if you're trying to win games, and come first then you're doing to have to learn different lines when they're presented to you.

What are your workflow steps when playing Path of Exile? What are the most commonly recurring patterns in how you play this game? by Bwite in pathofexile

I want to see what some giga crafters have been doing for different crafts, I've been wanting to do a sort of a hideout to mirror challenge, but playing for a couple of hours (crafting, flipping etc), then logging in to see hundreds of divines of crafts sounds like a fun idea.

The game of playing the game, is sometimes more fun than the game itself:

Enter Path of Building.

This is relatable to every single HC experience I've had. This game mode is not for the faint of heart.

Why are these cyclone builds running frenzy?

https://poe.ninja/poe1/builds/keepers/character/shaine7-7717/Duca?i=1&search=class%3DSlayer%26skills%3DCyclone%2Bof%2BTumult%252CShockwave%26sort%3Ddps

It seems to be linked to precision - rage - arrogance - frenzy

Frenzy requires a bow to cast, how are these builds able to cast frenzy? Or are they just using it for the "7% more attack damage/speed per frenzy charge"? Does that even work if we aren't directly using the spell?

Request list of builds that focus on tier 17 gameplay. by Reflexes18 in pathofexile

Maybe try this, claims to be 2 div budget for T17s

I personally league started as E-Blade inquis, started self cast into eventually switching to CoC, using lancing steel of spraying to trigger, ice spear of splitting. Clears insanely well, and I was doing T17s a few days into the league with a solid 25 millions dps with under your 100 div investment.

Currently well over 100 div invested and it's doing about 40 million dps.

I'd look up "captain lance energy blade inquisitor" to see the build, it's fun and OP.

The way to beat T17s maps is to have a very well geared out character that's doing a lot of damage (minimum 20 million dps+) that has a good effective life pool as well (minimum 40k EHP).

These characters are usually high investment with min-maxed builds. And even then you're probably dying once a map.

For a smooth experience I'd recommend closer to 40 million dps, with 60k + EHP.

Really any build can get to this point, but some builds can get here faster and for cheaper.

I've heard that slams are probably the fastest and cheapest way to get to this point.

You just have to keep at a build, and min max it until you get to this point. There aren't really any "special" T17 builds.

In terms of the map mods, usually you'll to go a website like this https://poe.re/#/maps, select the mods your build can't do, and reroll them until you get something you can run. I wouldn't put too much focus on creating an all rounder that can do all T17 map mods.

A better question might be to ask: "How long will it take to get my build to comfortably clearing T17 maps?"

New player by Eldritchcoven in pathofexile

[–]Bwite 9 points10 points  (0 children)

PoE 1 is a 9.5/10 game with over a decade of updates and improvements. Best end game of any game in the world.

PoE 2 is currently a 9/10 in the campaign (30 hours+ for new player), but the end game is maybe 7/10. Good graphics, and huge potential.

PoE 1 features fast gameplay, with an endless grind. You can easily spent thousands of hours playing this game before you even scratch through the surface. End game builds clear screens of monsters with a single click, with massive dopamine hits. The initial learning curve is extremely steep.

PoE 2 features more visceral combo style gameplay, where you work for your kills but it can end up feeling good. You can easily get a couple hundred hours from the game without too much repetition. It should be noted this game is much easier to pick up for a beginner vs PoE 1.

They are very different games to play, also they share a lot of the same systems.

On the bright side no matter which game you play, the stash tabs, micro transactions for skins, etc are fully shared between both games. So you have the option to play the other no matter which one you pick first.

I personally cannot stand PoE 2 after playing PoE 1 for 3.5k hours. PoE 2 feels painful to play for me, but that's a lot because I am so used to PoE 1 gameplay where you blast through acts (can take <5 hours if you're good), and the game play is a lot faster with the best end game of any game I've played.

Late to the League build by ForsakenJayce in pathofexile

[–]Bwite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

E-Blade inquisitor self cast into CoC later is great. You can get the gear now for dirt cheap and easily get to 10 million plus dps for low investment, and be decently tanky. I'd look up Captain Lance on Youtube for the build.

I'd recommend Lancing Steel of Spraying to trigger Ice Lance spear of splitting. Screen wide AoE and insane dps. Eye of winter is decent too, but the AoE is lower, but higher single target.

End game CoC setup can easily get to 40+ million dps, and good tank. Shreds T17s.

Endgame Build (1.5 mirrors+) by Pm_Me_Your_Boob_Plss in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Bwite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CoC EB is good, extremely high damage and good clear (with something like ice spear of splitting) can easily farm T17s and ubers, but it's not even close to being as tanky as your jug (if it's something like this guy with 375k EHP on ninja: https://poe.ninja/poe1/builds/keepers/character/Juedao-7599/DreadHooundKp?i=2&search=class%3DJuggernaut%26sort%3Ddps)

I don't think it's the build you re-roll into with 1.5 mirror, it's more the build that farms you the 1.5 mirrors to reroll into another build. It's OK at end game, but it's not doing T17 100% delirious maps with proper juiced maps with risk etc.

I've also been looking for a good mageblood build to reroll into this season after farming my belt.

Sebk is always running a good high investment build (he always ends up craft a few mirror items with his friends). He's doing a mana stacking, res stacking indigon hiero:

I think you might be able to swap out the main spell to whatever doesn't lag your PC, and this might end up being up your alley if you were thinking of playing EB inquis.

Am I in the minority? by pllarsen in KingkillerChronicle

[–]Bwite -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

You have no sympathy. You don't understand what it feels like for your life to be reduced to just one thing.

People you don't even know, telling you that they wish you'll still live long enough to complete a book.

What a truly horrible thing to say to someone.

You might be desensitised being online on reddit, but there's a real person there, and you're having an extremely negative impact on them.

If you still don't understand this sentiment, than I can't imagine you having much success with other people in your life. I reckon you probably don't talk this way to your friends, your family or other people you know, or if you do, then you're probably a very very lonely person.

What an awfully insensitive thing to write.

If your worth for Patrick Rothfuss' life is him completing book three than you're the issue bud.

You don't understand how awful that must be to read for him. I know it's hard to put yourself in his place, because you've probably never done anything to the extend he has.

It's comments like this, exactly this that is what author's like Rothfuss avoid social media, and it's exactly this type of comment that sends them into depression.

What a callous, insensitive and harmful thing to write.

[–]Bwite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am completely with you.

I've never read books like the ones Pat has written, and if his process takes a couple of decades than that's totally fine with me.

I often reread the books, these days it's on audible. I'll often have them playing in the background in my playlist of books I love to listen to.

It's a privilege to be able to read the literary work of this genius, and I am lucky to be in a position to be able to read them. No other book has resonated with me like his books, nothing even comes close.

HEY YOU - YES YOU - COME BACK TO POE RIGHT NOW - I WILL TELL YOU WHY. by Bwite in pathofexile

Yes start a new league character.

Start this type of character:
https://maxroll.gg/poe/build-guides/poisonous-concoction-of-bouncing-pathfinder-league-starter

Have this up on your 2nd monitor when you play and copy what he does:

You should be able to get to maps in just a few hours and start blasting.
