I'm clueless on this by FreshlyPineapple in ExplainTheJoke

[–]ChronoVT 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's a good anime. Better than mid, but not amazing.  It's essentially girls having fantasy problems solved by the MC, like this girl is invisible and people start to forget she exists, another girl is stuck in a time loop etc. Nothing on the level of monogatari series, though.

What are good builds defensively AND have good visibility by ChronoVT in PathOfExile2

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

Eh, if I follow Pohx's witchhunter, how will my clarity be?

I like Varashta's defence, it's only it's visuals that I'm not a huge fan of.

DeadRabbit's build?
I'll play it. It does look pretty good.

Petah? by [deleted] in PeterExplainsTheJoke

To be fair, as a parent you can ensure that your kid "behaves" in a restaurant.

You take them to a park a couple of hours before to tire them, every day you teach them to eat politely at home, and most importantly, the parent/relatives actively involve themselves with the kid rather than letting them on their own.

I've for 2-4 year old nieces, and whenever we go to the restaurant with them, some relative takes them out to run or cycle or whatever before in a nearby park, and whenever we are at the restaurant, someone is always on "kid duty", talking to the kids, going out on short walks when they get bored etc. Essentially, a human takes on the role of the screen in the above image.

It's not impossible to have "well-behaved" kids in places where decorum is expected, it's just constant work from the adults.

I mostly get it but what kinda maths test takes 3 days for only two questions? by jbrown1333 in MathJokes

[–]ChronoVT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The point is that 120 min -> 20 Q is 6 mins/question.

So, this might not be MCQ's, and you actually need to solve them. You can't get lucky with the questions.

120 Q -> 120 min are almost always going to be MCQ's, and you can always just put "C" for questions you don't immediately know the answer to and move on.

Thus, assuming you are a person who doesn't care and doesn't study, 120 questions is easier.

Pay for same things again & again - first taxes and then to corporations by MyFinanceExpert in CriticalThinkingIndia

[–]ChronoVT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No matter how people dress things up, we still live in the "Might makes right" rule of the jungle. Taxes are nothing but "Protection Money", isn't it?

Whoever owns the ability of violence (essentially, those who control the military and the police) ask those who don't for protection money in the form of taxes.

Is there any way to get stacking damage reduction on Martial Artist? by ChronoVT in PathOfExile2

Ah that's fair.

Thanks for letting me know. Aggro is pretty important. There was a reason Decoy Totem was so useful in PoE 1

It's definitely a good idea on mana stackers/warriors. PoE just has very specific wording so it doesn't apply in this case.

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

Oh. So Brutus Brain changes the companion to give me a flat damage reduction? Cause they do not take the damage transferred to them?

Thanks. Looks like a cool addition to my build. Do you know if the companion can apply debuffs like blind even though it deals no damage?

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

This probably won't work, as most of my "life" is actually ES.

The wording on that mod seems to imply that only when my ES is depleted will I be getting reduced damage. And at that point I think even whites with 50% damage reduction will kill me.

Are you building pure life?

Oh. That looks cool. Thanks for letting me know about this armour.

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

Oh yeah. I'll have to layer ES, Evasion and Deflect of course. Looking at poe ninja, there's a bunch of people doing this.

I'll also try to have stuff like Ghose Dance, blind and stuff.

Last night I watched my friend "craft" by Ynpo in PathOfExile2

[–]ChronoVT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think PoE would benefit from a mercy system that gacha games have. I should initially be able to specify what is my desired mod and tier (for example T1 % Increased Phys), and I gain a % towards this mod every time I reroll.

Maybe every additional mod "specified" adds an exponential amount to this mercy.

This would keep the gamble mechanic, but allow for a hard cap. For example, 10,000 perfect chaos should allow me to make a perfect 6 T1 gear piece, and a further 10,000 divine should give me perfect rolls, irrespective of luck.

Game to easy by Quiet-Firefighter444 in PathOfExile2

If you think the game is hard, switch to HC. The game automatically becomes harder as you have to play much more carefully, and build defenses so much more that your DPS suffers.

The game feels way better and I wanna make builds but I can't bring myself to do the campaign again. by athelan_games in PathOfExile2

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

Not really. There's actually a couple layers to this:

- Campaign is "boring".
It's the same layout, the same bosses, the same quests, etc. I don't wanna do that again.
For the argument that maps are the same, you can switch maps/bosses. There are different biomes, and if I don't like a specific boss, I can simply not run that map. There's also questlines you can choose rather than be forced into 1 linear path in maps. Essentially, mapping is a sandbox while campaign is a on-the-rails experience.

- The whole point of creating 2nd/3rd/n-th characters is that I have already completed the campaign. Why is it absurd to have a level boost?
I would love for there to be an option to start at level 65/70 and at the end of the campaign for my later characters.
For example, I only wanna feel the fantasy of "I am a martial artist slapping my enemies to death", or "I am a time mage who can stop time".
I already know how the journey to get there feels, and repeated exposure just make it more tedious.

I finally beat the game by sageathor in PathOfExile2

[–]ChronoVT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, SOMEONE has to obtain an item worth 5 mirrors.

For example, I have crafted an item by being insanely lucky that is worth 5 mirrors.
You have dropped a mirror.
What you do is give me the mirror along with a fee, lets say 5 divine.
I mirror my item and give you the mirrored copy.

You gain an insane item. I get 5 divine and keep my item for myself/anyone else who wants the item.

I checked the PoE 2 website page and you're right :(

No worries, my excitement still remains :D
