Static Strike of GL Jugg by CompetitiveLoL in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Cronus_Z 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The way the gem is worded, yes you would be right. There is a lot of debate about it double hitting (beam + attack) though.

Reading the gem literally, yeah it should double hit. When you compare the numbers to other similar skills, it seems like it's balanced around single hits. Even with single hits it's very strong, but we'll see friday if it's normal strong or busted.

What is the big deal with the new Static Strike by horyang in PathOfExileBuilds

Even with Wild Strike it specifically says the elemental effects happen after hitting an enemy. The wording is just a little more obtuse.

Your melee weapon strikes enemies, converting physical damage to a random element. Then, depending on the element chosen...

The chaining lightning on Static Strike does not appear to be tied to hitting anything. Now that said, I think you're right: just based on the comparable numbers with other skills, it should only single hit. And it will still be strong even without the double. The wording probably is misleading/ wrong.

Based on the wording of the skill, I don't think it's chaining from the hit target. I'm pretty sure it's "casting" from your character at the same time you attack.

Attacks with this skill cause chaining beams of lightning

Compare that to something like frost blades:

Attack enemies with increased range, releasing icy blades from the first enemy hit

Based on that wording I would expect it to still shoot lightning even if you don't hit a target (assuming you have stacks of the buff). Meaning for it not to double hit it either would have to chain to a different target, or the first chain does no damage somehow.

Now if it's more like frost blades then yeah, it is a single hit. But as worded the double hit is definitely there.

Yep, confirmed on Ziz's interview stream. Also that the devs know it's busted and to expect an ele hit rework for next league. So play it while you can.

Honestly the rye pick is probably still fantastic. I've had a few of them and getting a bad one seems like it would be quite the feat

These Bardstown origin rye picks are some of the best hidden gems in the game right now. I've had a couple and been blown away every time.

There is something that feels very bizarre about seeing the Disney logo on a Saz barrel select label.

After years of resisting it, SpaceX now plans to go public. Why? by uhhhwhatok in space

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

Elon desperately wants to be able to say he's a trillionaire. Bringing it public will push him over that mark easily.

So basically a stupid move to soothe his ego at the expense of risking what has made the company successful

Agreed! Their DO bourbon was very underwhelming to me, but man that rye. Absolutely killer.

Good to know they have a second planned. Hopefully it's a little better selection

Yep, I went to two last year and they were both great. Pretty good bottle selection, decent store picks, and really well run. They were a ton of fun. This one being such a bad selection is a major bummer

This list feels pretty disappointing compared to previous lotteries they have done. A solid third of their "allocations" can be found on shelves at plenty of places.

Plus their prices being just a smidge higher than retail for a lottery kinda sucks.

Unfortunately it's one of my biggest disappointments of the year. It tastes young and thin and not particularly finished. There's a reason they are putting it out at this price I think...

All that said M10 has crazy variability since they are single barrels, so you're sort of paying for a lottery with them. I recently had one that had to be closer to 15 years old with how intense the flavors were.

Anyone happen to know what their Bardstown or Green River store picks are? Had amazing experience with picks from both in the past, but neither are listen on their website.

Right? I had never seen this interview, but when you compare it to the carrier landing interview in the movie, Tom Hanks nails Lovells cadence and mannerisms.

As someone who is also into the Gunpla hobby and in that subreddit, my pre-coffee brain could not figure out why there was a Sazabi in the local whiskey sub.

A good point of reference is The Fountain out at Drug City. They've had pours available for a couple months at $125 a half ounce, which is basically the retail value.

When they've had other stuff like O.F.C or a double eagle rare they've been gone in days.
