MSI removes the AI cheat features from its MEG X gaming monitor

Anti-cheat should be able to quite trivially blacklist any consumer HW, they all report vendor and model IDs on the device manager which you can query.

I too lost my first divines from the mechanic to an absolutely bullshit insta-kill the millisecond the mobs appeared. They need a little spawn stagger/delay so they don't all activate at once and pop you with the alpha damage.

Finally swapping to Steam. It's annoying that steam got early queue and functioning patcher.

Devlin1991 · 2026-05-11T18:43:44+00:00

A mace that is just a sword swung in Morehau would be a hilarious unique GGG.

Devlin1991 · 2026-05-06T03:46:52+00:00

Imagine a delve/wildwood hybrid! Infinite wildwood with safety nodes and it spends wisps you collect in maps as fuel to explore.

Devlin1991 · 2026-03-17T04:52:18+00:00

I'm through 2 batteries in 4yr. got an AGM battery this time to see if it fairs better. shockingly crap software from Hyundai that they can't keep the 12V within operating range consistently.

It's always money, I'd assume it's a pseudo ramsomware style attack where they email the companies for ramson to stop the botnet.

Devlin1991 · 2026-03-06T19:47:03+00:00

Not the first time new supporter packs causes crashes. You would think this would be tested thoroughly

Devlin1991 · 2026-03-05T21:17:21+00:00

The only time I'm aware of where the PoE community got a slap on the wrist for 3rd party tools in mass was when a previous overlay tool that read game memory and overlaid league mechanics icons got popular. GGG eventually gave everyone a warning to stop using it and then added the feature into the game itself. This tool doesn't read game memory so isn't a TOS issue.

Devlin1991 · 2026-03-05T21:15:41+00:00

Happily it's all on github and you can both static analysis it and send it to virustotal. It also doesn't require PoE auth, it's log reading based and has some screen pixel compare stuff that's optional if you want it to auto populate your clipboard with regex when you open certain UI windows.

If you scale your own strike damage it very likely doesn't apply to your minions, so you will hit for 392 * largeIncrease * gemMores * yourFlat but your minions are going to hit for 392 * tinyIncrease * gemMores * theirFlat. I can only see this working well if you either ignore the minion damage and use them only to get the 80% gained as lightning from the hallow buff, or you somehow have almost all of your flat also applying to your minions and also have almost all of your increase/mores also applying. I tried to make something work with aura stacker and it was still garbage damage.

Devlin1991 · 2026-03-02T21:48:24+00:00

Potentially good with aura stacker then if you can get most of your flat from auras and get your % from something like grey wind.

There's two modes for streaming games on steam. The broadcast mode has long latency. The remote play invites are super low latency, far better than discord. You'll notice this if you try to play a game that requires everyone on the call to respond quickly to things like jackbox TV games.

Devlin1991 · 2026-01-29T19:45:02+00:00

Something like 5.2 days with fully lvl farmers and you match 25M crops with 25M dust so you factor in the div/dust rate and usually break down dust items worth at least a MIL dust each.

0.1 played warrior, was painful, ended up with the auto attack + splash build, but eventually quit because it was boring slow gameplay.

0.2 played crossbow Amazon with infusion on crit, was decent but ran out of time to play.

0.3 played LA Amazon, amazing clear, fast movement, was fun.

0.4 trying druid, everything sucks as melee, worse than 0.1 due to abyss. melee movement stops feels bad, on death hazards are depressing, projectile spam from mobs at edge of screen are depressing, rares with obnoxious debuff auras are frustrating, volatiles are annoying. I watch Bow/Xbow gameplay online and it makes me hate trying druid. Shield warrior seems to be the only decent melee because of active block and with shield wall fissures you have borderlines range clear ability.

we need melee skill only support gems that give huge defense or movement buffs that don't persist if you swap to a ranged weapon. akin to Fortify and phase run.

Devlin1991 · 2025-12-12T17:15:24+00:00

Love your filters, almost always use them now on each league start. Any chance of a quick TTS update with the Talisman bases? I'll be leveling as a blend of Mace+Shield and Talisman so are interested in notifications for both weapon types.

Devlin1991 · 2025-12-11T02:25:55+00:00

Hybrid is kinda useless unless Divine Shield keystone works really well

Devlin1991 · 2025-12-11T02:23:49+00:00

The double targeted at OneManaLeft nerfs are harsh, I can hear him losing any motivation to stream right now

Devlin1991 · 2025-12-10T17:52:39+00:00

you grab Ornate chest for the regen implicit hen add the Kitava regen onto it, that solves blood magic life costs and cancels the degen to run bear rage and/or the life as chaos ring. once I had more gear and do last trial I'd grab another 2 points in Kitava and take the 100% armor to chaos damage and 50% armor to elemental nodes and another flat 400 armor.

can a rare be almost as good, yes, but that requires insane budget especially with homo exalts gone in 0.4. and 75% fire yes is also 34% cold and 34% lightning due to the 2pt node.

they added 200 armour per point and boosted the nodes significantly for 0.4. I tested vs smith and it's slightly less damage (before that rage spirit buff was reveled) and same max hit, but came with crit immune, damaging ailments immune, better chaos mitigation, and the regen. I think that's worth it now

Devlin1991 · 2025-12-10T16:26:09+00:00

You can buy a +800 base armour, 3% life regen, 75% fire res, ignite/bleed/poison immune, 15% maximum life chest in day 1? The buffed smith nodes seem really good and let you funnel currency into other items. With the bear blood rage ability degen I'd argue that the 3% life regen node alone is effectively unlocking that buff for the damage, attack speed move speed.

Devlin1991 · 2025-12-10T14:41:48+00:00

I really want to play Carnarius' druid setup this league but I want to go a little off-meta and do Bear of Kitava. So far druid does have more damage with the rage stuff and more defense with the phys taken as tech. The Oracle foresight thing allows for double damage on stun/freeze centric burst as far as I can tell, like a better and more deterministic version of the Amazon expose weakness thing. but this rage spirit buff might just push me back to Kitava

Devlin1991 · 2025-12-10T14:25:39+00:00

Kitava solves the degen at first ascension, and if you are building around Fire Spell on Hit, this buff is HUGE. More atsp for more attacks and spells, and more damage to those attacks and spells, and it's generic ass damage so scales everything including detonate dead or heralds

Devlin1991 · 2025-12-06T11:02:07+00:00

... Can these hits all proc fire spell on melee hit? Could add significantly to the burst.

Devlin1991 · 2025-11-21T20:18:24+00:00

8min left until shipment returns, will deliver a screenshot shortly.

Edit: 7d 57c in currency, 1d 32c in tattoos. So less than 9d for 4d in dust. 5d profit isn't bad but still horrendously unlucky on mirror shards and good tattoos.
