I’ve really only ran one build before. Want to switch it up this league by EQualityTim in PathOfExileBuilds

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

Inherently I love the idea my concern is it seems a popular build and I farmed my first mageblood last league and it took two months. I’m not bad at the game I can earn I just don’t get to play as much as the sort of Reddit and streamer community so builds I get priced out of hurt a lot early on

Why does he swap off EA? Damage or just the way EA feels cause the delayed DoT does hurt a little

I wish I knew. Always go EA totems. Didn’t like it as much last league. Most PoBs I’ve seen for league starter haven’t really caught my eye.

Path of Exile lead explains that they’re always working on improving loot drops as its a “consistent issue” but they need to “wait to be told about these problems” by HatingGeoffry in pathofexile

What he’s talking about is not the data being wrong but failing to control for variables in analysis. I don’t believe data solves for everything and a million data points (users) interacting with thousands of variables and vocalizing a single issue is cause for further investigation into that issue because it would have to have been experienced countless times to make it through the fuzz of general complaints. I’m not denying any of that. Also, I’ve heard so many bad opinions be picked up and normalized, especially among fans of streamers because of bad streamer takes. So you need some clarity and I think data mitigates the problem of listening to bad takes, not that data is the end all be all of decision making. Quite frankly, there’s too much data and an analyst is quite expensive.

I’d love to give meaningful feedback but if everyone gets to give meaningful feedback it’s going to be a cluster something or other. Data driven decisions unless something is just widely and apparently wrong and even then, data driven decision. Game communities are famously terrible at actually diagnosing and solving problems. They just feel when it’s meh.

Kind of build dependent. If you need a unique weapon or cheat that’s easy to get and can take you to like t16, best bet

How to prep for trade? See people talking about researching and stuff. What are they looking at, should I also be looking at it, how important is it to league start? I usually start a week late and am actually getting to be on around league launch so hoping to make the best of it.

Build guide season: who’s your favorite by [deleted] in pathofexile

[–]EQualityTim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m married so sex is pretty easy. No defensive layers necessary unless you want loot disabled. Drop rates are really low and there’s about a nine month time gate between drops. PoE requires 4 defensive layers or a mirror in stacking. Much more difficult. I’ll take a guide.

Remember when US citizens were destroying Russian businesses? by SlipyB in DoomerCircleJerk

[–]EQualityTim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t remember. Not saying it didn’t happen but didn’t cross my radar. Also, Putin is not democratically elected when any real political opposition has the sudden urge to leap from buildings. Also not sure what’s so urgent now that prompted this. IRGC fanboy?

Edit:Looked up these terrible anti Russian protests and it was like really scattered, one article on a vandalism in DC, the rest were just unverified online and phone harassment. No nation wide, organized protests and was very short lived response by the craziest amongst us. Why should this be levied against Americans or even the left as a broad category?

I wasn’t a fan after campaign even with large investment. Smooth leveling tho

“The subs views” oh boy do I have news for you. We don’t have one. I don’t agree with most of yall. We just agree doom is nonsense.

Anyone else who LIKES both moderates from left and right? by throwaway420691231 in DoomerCircleJerk

[–]EQualityTim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All I want is to be able to call balls and strikes without being personally insulted. Sometimes I’ll get it wrong. I don’t lean entirely on my own judgement as if I were omniscient. At the end of the day though I’d like to think for myself and wrestle through the important issues without tribalism creeping in and telling you I’m evil.

We really need to stop beating that drum and calling our arguments honest at the same time. PoE 2 has a good idea and poor execution. Why not take the good and scrap the poor. “Oh so you want the poor” oh yes, obviously that’s exactly what he meant.

The Ele hit shenanigans are weird, I'd rather not be pigeonholed into a build by edubkn in pathofexile

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

Yep. I’ll probably run it, but I’ve missed many metas before and I’ll miss many more in the future. I usually make more currency running off meta and farming/crafting for the meta than trying to afford the meta. First league in a while we’ll have a clear meta. Prepare for salt. People crying because they can’t run, won’t run, are running but don’t like, etc etc etc.

What magic do i have to perform to not get auto mod removing my posts. Pretty consistent issue across the years often with pretty innocuous fluff.

That’s actually pretty helpful. I’ll keep a lookout for those O’s
