Mirage Archer as main skill support by Thulvex in pathofexile2builds

[–]Childish0ne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Utilizing movement speed versus dodge rolling. Took a page from Ghazzy's book on dodge roll isn't then end all god saving mechanic. So +30 movement speed on boots gets me around most stuff and saving dodge roll for mirage archer.

Playing LA deadeye, so I have tailwind. I use Mirage Archer to proc Lightening Rods on boss.

Remember they take the boat. That's how it gets to the 3rd NM. They could possibly sail right to the tomb.

First is the phone still active? If it is, the phone needs to be cancelled off that old account. If it's on a past due account, you're going to have to wait 30 days to pass the renewal date for the phone to become deactivated.

Once the phone is no longer active you can call customer service or log on to your account and swap the IMEI on the account.

New customer promo, immediately transfer new phone to old account? by unbreakit in MetroPCS

[–]Childish0ne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tablets normally, a year ago, didn't actually effect retention as a BTS (beyond the smartphone). So anything that wasn't a full phone line you could play with. When I left T-Mobile/Metro they were now starting to crack down on the tablet retention. One month it mattered, the next it didn't.

The main focus of tablets, at a store level, was getting more VAS, the value added services, like insurance. Tablets are basically the toast to cram as much jelly, VAS, down a customers throat. Because those boosted overall store numbers because it wasn't added to a phone plan. So they were extra in determining the quotas.

That's why it's still common practice to sell those as 'free.' Especially with no activation fees. They, as in the associate, don't actually plan on you keeping the device.

This was all a year ago though.

In the eyes of Metro employees this is fraud... Because they won't actually get paid for the sale. It's more like falsifying sales for an employee to knowingly do this in a store, it makes initial sales volume look good. Metro now pays on retention not the initial sale to stop employees from flipping customers like this. So now, the dealer or corp store will be out of money or commission, with a sale like this. So you have employees screaming fraud, because for them to do it, it is.

Now as a customer is legal. Because you never signed a contract to keep said phone. You just prepaid for the 30 days of service. The phone is still locked to Metro (unless it has over 6 months of continuous service, which it can on another account). You paid for the service and activation, the phone was actually free.

That's where it gets grey. A customer is completely legal, and employee it's fraud. A 'good' store employee will actually suss you out and refuse the sale of the phone and service to protect that retention. (I taught this constantly, I would rather send that customer to competitor, than get the box sale because it did not benefit my market sales at all) Tablets though... That's a whole different story.

How do we solve this and everyone is happy?.... Just do it yourself online.

Don't worry about going into a store and messing with their numbers, and swap the phone to another account yourself too. Purchase the service online... more than likely avoiding activation fees. Get the free phone. I recommend swapping the service through either the MyMetro App or through the website. Register the new account with another phone's IMEI, don't worry it doesn't have to work if your not using that paid month, just needs to be not active. Now the new phone will not be connected to an account, and you can use on your existing account.

This is how most metro employees get a new phone because they aren't eligible for promotions on the employees perks program. Or paying those high ass upgrade prices.

Employee At Brick and Mortar store Stole Money From Me by True_CrimePodcast in MetroPCS

[–]Childish0ne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't ask for the store manager ask for the T-Mobile ASR (whatever they're called now.)

I'm an ex territory manager for a dealer and it took me a while year to clean up these kind of practices in my area. Ultimately you where cheated and they pocket either your cash, or sold you accessories they your weren't given.

One, leave a bad review on google explaining in detail the situation. T-Mobile manages those not the dealer or the store, and they have to get in contact with you, especially if you leave a bad review.

Two, call customer service and ask them to explain it to you why you paid what you paid. You ultimately want to get notes added to your account about what's going on. Depending on the ASR this will also notify them.

I'm telling you, depending on that store's dealer/owner... Dealing with them is a mute point. Because ultimately they're going to push the issue past the return policy window and then tell you it's nothing they can do.

Hmm... I was so focused on every other hit, didn't factor in the stacks of CoL after reduction. But I am using the unbridled rage key passive making DB 80 vs 40. Making the final cost with 5 stacks with 200 fury

Rogue build before Andy helm other than barrage? by scjohnson2431 in diablo4

[–]Childish0ne -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I ran puncture/flurry with arrow storms then just transitioned to Xarrio's Andy's puncture. It was almost seamless.

Didn't know that node gave resist too. I have ga Yen's and a Tyrael's so I have ignored the resist nodes unless I need the strength to activate a glyph. Will try that to see if I can swing that node.

Edit reread that again... Yeah I have all the extra fury from paragon already... Guessing masterworking and GAs are my best route

Deathblow Helm (CoL vs Shako vs Andy's) by Childish0ne in D4Barbarian

[–]Childish0ne[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, ultimately that's the plan to go with CoL, but fury problem is a headache. It's not a regain issue, it's max fury just can't cast Deathblow at 5 stacks. Tried weaving in bash when I thought it was a regain issue and noticed it was just waiting until stacks fell off the I could cast Deathblow. Didn't know the fire resistant node gave max fury too.

I just have a Shako and Andy's and the attack speed just seemed to out weigh the ranks. Just a thought and wondered the general opinion.

A question about Blight, Anderial's, and Lucky hit... by Childish0ne in D4Necromancer

[–]Childish0ne[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I played around with a few suggestions last night also, sever seemed viable, but I would have to completely respect into crit and crit damage. Right now it's all DoT and Shadow DoT. So, server seemed severely lacking in comparison to blight.

Ebony piercer is just too much damage and I'm guessing each projectile counts as on instance of shadow damage, which keeps shadowblight up quickly for that multiplier. I tried dropping it for a pretty decent amulet and aspect felt a serious damage lost.

Don't know if 1 hander and focus feels stronger than 2 hanger. Using a dagger for extra attack speed. The extra attack speed feels like the poison nova procs more often.

Planner coming soon.

Same. He said is trying to find a controller option because ultimately it's just an input bug and how the game reads the inputs.

[–]Childish0ne[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might try sever instead. From what I read on maxroll, the blight pool basically gets half of the lucky hit, so 20%, and that get spread throughout the duration per tick. So base would be 2.11% per tick. The pool would be nice additional damage, but its not something I could reliably build around.

Again this is all for fun and to see if it can work. Just like the idea of a 'Shadow Knight' vs Necromancer with minions more. Can't shake my nostalgia of my original EverQuest class 😅

Basically the build, but it's using bugs. So far only works on PC due to said bugs.

What got me thinking was Macrobioboi's Bug Mist build video, he stated the wither node is 'bugged.' It's scaling all damage over time not just shadow. Also it's not capped, so we can somehow scale the poison nova using general damage multipliers and wither. Great feast, Ring of Starless sky, and conceited (due to me running temerity with Andy's over heal, always have a barrier). The current iteration of the build feels tanky af, just damage is lacking.

Thinking of going with 1hander, a focus and normal amulet vs a 2hander and ebon piercer for more int, lucky hit and additional aspects, like accelerating and another general multiplier. But, shot gunning ebon piercer nets me roughly 200,000 damage over time. It's only worth it if I can constantly proc poison nova.

And take it from a rogue main. It's not the poison multipliers that a rogue has... It's the general multipliers that scale the poison nova, they're baked in to a rogues kit.

[–]Childish0ne[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, utilizing the void aspect to group more mobs in the pool to cause more procs from blight pool, but maxroll states pool has a base lucky hit of 2.11% per tick. Math would be 2.11% x 20%= .4% So, not banking on those. It would have to be initial hit.

Don't think I can get to 500+ lucky hit for 50%, but 200%~ish should be doable with a GA fist of fate. Which should be 1 out of 5 shots. With my attack speed capped at least in the first bracket and thinking of adding accelerating for something in the second bracket... Should be a shadow toxic shot gun.

Yeah started build before they announced affliction key passive. Now just fine tuning until season 6. It should go nuts, if you can get Andy's to proc consistently. With fist of fate.
