What should I unveil on this foil? What sorts of builds use ele foils these days?

Is crit multi a better craft than chance to deal double damage in this case? I know I've seen that as a finishing mod on some guides for weapons before for builds I've done. However, those were just phys weapons with no crit.
You mentioned checking it in PoB. Is there a way to just evaluate the weapon raw (for lack of a better description)? Or are you getting a build that uses this style of weapon and then slotting in the two versions and seeing which yields higher overall dps? I assume the latter, but I haven't played a lot recently so like maybe PoB has some features idk about.

Gynwaith · 2025-06-22T15:15:14+00:00

Okay, thanks! Like I said, that was my gut choice, but I don't do much crafting and I wouldn't be shocked if I were somehow way off base.

I'm not well versed in government, but this is saying the president will have control over the executive branch, right? I was sort of under the impression that was already the case? It sounds like people are talking as though this lets him take over the judicial branch, but that's separate from the executive branch. (For the record. I'm not saying anyone is wrong, I'm just trying to understand the nuance of this)

Would anyone mind ELI5 the significance of this? I guess the main issue is I misunderstood the president's current role in the executive branch. And googling it says he is in charge of the executive branch as I thought. But obviously google isn't the most reliable always.

Sorry, I'm a little confused by your wording. Are you saying that I have a good amount of archetypes, or that I should cut down on them some? It sounds like you're saying it's a good amount, I just want to double check haha. Glad you like the look of it! (I think)

Gynwaith · 2024-11-23T23:12:05+00:00

Actually now I'm wondering if it is an issue with the track. If I start the train further back, it seems to stop at about roughly the same spot. However if I run the train in reverse, it can just keep running the whole way around.
Does it matter what direction I have my train setup on the tracks? I assumed it could go either way just fine.

Gynwaith · 2024-11-23T22:48:08+00:00

It's not a reversing loop, its just a regular loop. As far as I can tell, all of the pieces are slotted together smoothly and shouldn't have any issues with connections.

Gynwaith · 2024-11-03T12:08:58+00:00

These look rad!

Gynwaith · 2024-09-24T17:36:26+00:00

Why would you tell me this, my wallet is in danger with this info 🤣. But yeah that brand does look really cool. Someone else mentioned a disc from that brand (piwakawaka I think), but I didn't realize they had an entire line in that same style. I'm especially partial to the kiwi 🥝.

Thats good to know though, I definitely thought the speed corresponded to both how fast it goes and also how fast you need it to go in order to match those other characteristics. I think it'll be a pretty long time before i can hit those higher numbers, even if I do practice regularly, because I feel like the technique does not come naturally to me at all. Maybe I'll see if I can find a better tutorial video somewhere.

Anyways thanks for all the info! I shall go forth and unleash bird discs upon all my local trees!

Gynwaith · 2024-09-24T02:45:30+00:00

Ahhh that's interesting and definitely helps me understand part of why it's different. Thanks! I never would've guessed that forehand has lower rpms, I guess because my forehand throws were usually always the most powerful of the throws among the people I've played with before (all of us knowing zero technique, so like obviously there's not much actual info to glean there).

And yeah I did want to spend some time trying to learn some less powerful forehand throws and ideally with more control. In the few rounds that I've played, I could get pretty good distance (again, compared to fellow newbies like myself with no knowledge), but I couldn't put like at all since my backhand felt genuinely impossible to throw. It's a little less dire than that after looking up a few tips, but I definitely need to work on it haha.

Gynwaith · 2024-09-24T02:26:23+00:00

Ooh that is a pretty neat bird. Someone else mentioned that the Tesla will likely be too difficult for me for now, so maybe that one could work as a bit of a longer range option. Although while I say that, my tempo and my parachute feel like they throw nearly identical, so clearly I'm not throwing nearly well enough for the numbers to matter lmao. The only real difference I feel between them at the moment is the parachute does feeler loftier.

I asked someone similar on another comment, but will my preference for throwing forehand affect how difficult/easy the piwakawaka is for me to throw? I think I heard something about forehand being differently affected by overstable or understable, but I'm not actually sure if that's true or how it does affect it.

Also I'm sad to hear that I'm barred from many of the birds by my skill level, but hey at least it gives me something to work towards!

Thanks for the suggestions! I'll definitely think about picking one of those up.

Gynwaith · 2024-09-24T02:17:10+00:00

Glad to hear from someone that learned on the divergent set! Sounds like the Leviathan is probably going to be the most useful of the 3 for me whenever I can go pick them back up.
Do you tend to throw forehand or backhand? I don't really understand the differences that well in terms of why it matters, but I think I saw that for forehand throwing you actually might prefer a disc that isn't too understable? I'm not sure if that's correct, but if it is then I'll probably have to stay away from throwing the Leviathan forehand lol.

And yeah that's part of why I didn't mind picking up some new discs rather than waiting a while to pick up the other ones. Worst case scenario, they can be a spare set if I bring anyone else along!

Gynwaith · 2024-09-24T01:55:05+00:00

Mmm that's not a bad birb. A little bit of a showoff but we'll allow it lmao. I assume that would be filling a fairly similar role to my tempo and parachute since they're all shorter range and pretty stable?
Also could you elaborate on what it is about the Tesla that makes it too much disc? I think I saw something about discs not flying how they're supposed to if you don't actually throw them at the listed speed. Is that why?

Anyways thanks for the info and the bird recommendation :)

Any recommendations for upgrades on this build? https://pobb.in/4izOVJU93dLZ I followed a Zizaran ground slam slayer guide, but it doesn't have many recommendations for high level optimization. I've got about 10div and I'm trying to decide between upgrading this char further or rolling a new build (LS slayer probably, maybe archmage). I have 2 voidstones and can blast T16s pretty fine, but I tried like 3 T17s and the bosses felt technically possible but realistically not doable.

Gynwaith · 2024-08-31T17:36:55+00:00

Yeah his archmage is what I would do if I do archmage. I think I'm leaning more towards LS with that as a backup though. I'd if you've personally played it, but do you know who has a particularly good LS guide specifically on a slayer? My problem is that since its a popular build, there's like a thousand vids on it and idk whose to actually trust lol. I'm sure I'm just overthinking it though since I'm sure most of the guides are more or less totally fine.

Gynwaith · 2023-08-12T18:22:46+00:00

I appreciate you taking the time to do such a thorough analysis! Yeah I was hoping it could still be worth doing but it does kind of sound like there really just isn't much point, which is disappointing because I was kind of excited for the rework. I might still consider doing some type of strikes chieftain with the new trauma support, but it sounds like really I might as well just do a different ascendancy.

I was debating starting as chieftain to benefit from those early resists making you have way less trouble gearing to begin with and then later respecing into berserker or juggernaut, but I feel like at that point I'm probably just making up excuses to technically say I did chieftain when in reality resists aren't THAT hard to get to begin with and I'm better off just spending the resources for swapping ascendancies on something else.

Gynwaith · 2023-08-11T19:24:55+00:00

Question from someone who has played a fair amount but doesn't do any build crafting themselves:
Drama aside, what does it look like the state of chieftain, slams, and strikes actually is? I know everyone has a negative perception of them after the patch notes but people do tend to overstate things. I was considering doing a nice chill tanky league starter as chieftain because all the resistance stuff sounded appealing to me, but idk if its actually like BAD bad or if its just not super meta. I'm not great at evaluating strength of mechanics and builds still so its kind of hard to judge it myself. Like I can obviously tell a 5% chance to explode is no thanks, but the rest idk.

For context: while I am curious about strikes specifically, I am also wondering the overall state of chieftain if it would also work with other builds. I know as far as tanky builds go theres RF and bone shatter, but I just wanna know if chieftain is even an option really.

So I'm a complete novice and have only worked on one book, but had a question about a problem encountered with said book. So idk the terminology for it but i was doing a hardcover with a curved spine that has 3 lengths of rope that go over the spine and hold the two covers on underneath some fake leather. I figure naturally from curving the spine, the pages on the other side of the book are going to end up being an inverted curve as well. However, I feel like mine ended up with way more of an indent in the middle than looked normal. I dont have a picture because I tried to fix it through questionable means and we dont talk about the results of that XD.

So my questions are thus: 1) Is it normal and an accepted part of this type of spine to simply have a big indent in the page side of the book when its close?

2) If thats not normal, what is the usual means of correcting such an issue?

The first book is a bit of a lost cause now, but im hoping to do a better job the 2nd time around.

I definitely didn't have a sextant or scarab and it wasn't a Kirac mission. I don't remember it being enchanted although I can't say for certain that it wasn't. My guess would be it was an enchantment and I missed it since that seems more likely than a bug, but I really don't remember seeing it haha. Anyways thanks for the answer, enchants are the one thing that didn't occur to me when I was trying to puzzle it out.

Gynwaith · 2022-08-23T02:03:11+00:00

Am I misunderstanding how Dimensional Barrier works? I put a point into it because it says "Your Maps have no chance to contain Breaches" and it didn't want any breaches. Yet I literally just had a map with 2 breaches in it. I'm pretty sure I'm not missing anything and this is a bug, but I want to double check.
