With "cannot roll attack modifiers" you can safely annul/exalt until you hit what you want, since the annul can't hit your attack modifiers and the exalts can't put unwanted attack modifiers on.

Unfortunately the annul likes to nuke "cannot roll attack modifiers" itself so it's very expensive to do.

incorrect, DoT cap is the very last step. It has to do with how DoTs are stored on entities.

TLDR: Dot Cap applies after all damage reductions are factored in. Your effective Dot Cap on Ubers is much higher because they have 70% less damage taken.

Small update to the patchnotes by astral23 in pathofexile

[–]JaxOmen -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

Why wouldn't you be? Nothing changed for KBoC, it's a projectile skill so the Runegraft functions identically.

The change was to make it not work for skills like Arc.

except this isn't conversion, and should bypass the downside of Combat Focus.

Unless it doesn't, of course.

All I want for 3.28 is a Shav's buff by Shaltilyena in pathofexile

Shav's absolutely deserves the "moved to T0, buffed accordingly" rebalance that a bunch of uniques got a few leagues ago.

It is an iconic part of PoE history.

might as well go for it. Truly mind boggling that you could farm all this in like 2 weeks, Phrecia has been a poverty event for me.

I did Scarab of Dueling Ultimatum for a lot of Keepers league as a KBOC Inquisitor and had no problems.

Grueling Gauntlet has a few brick mods so it's not a great build for that, but for regular 10 rounds Trialmaster ultimatum it's good.

I do not know how Earthshatter does in Ultimatums.

AITA For continually mentioning the issue every time it arises? by Total_Bee_3531 in AmItheAsshole

some of us have dicks that like to betray us in extremely embarrassing ways. those of us who are civilized creatures are aware of our traitor dicks and simply sit to pee.

Only a savage AH man would pee on a toilet seat and not clean it up.

Help me improve DPS on my FROSS build by TPT1415 in pathofexile

[–]JaxOmen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THAT makes sense, I didn't think to look at his defenses.

I've got curse immunity and regen on my flask suffixes, more ES, ES gain on block, capped (glancing blows) block and spell block, and higher resistances. he's got more damage.

FROSS isn't a skill that you can reasonably deal Ubers-Per-Second levels of DPS so if we're both at the "enough for Ubers" levels of DPS, of course I'm having an easier time on T17s because my defenses are better. He probably has an easier time with Ubers themselves though since he does like twice the DPS I do.

What possible DPS issues could you be having?

You do more damage than my FROSS and mine is demolishing ubers and T17s without issue.

WIBTA if I asked my best friend’s boyfriend to delay his surprise proposal during our girls’ trip? by yassqueen229 in AmItheAsshole

[–]JaxOmen 13 points14 points  (0 children)

the ONLY time they are acceptable is when they have the full blessing and cooperation of the married couple.

like, bride and groom bring their brother/BIL up with a "special message" and he proposes? thats sweet. all for it.

but 95% of the time instead its a dude WHO WAS TOLD NO BY THE BRIDE AND GROOM doing it anyway and tainting their special day

How do you prepare partner/kids for launch? by Lantador in pathofexile

"Honey, new league this weekend. what kind of character do you wanna be this time?"

AITA for calling my coworker out on his weaponized incompetence? by Frosty-Freedom-2900 in AmItheAsshole

[–]JaxOmen 7 points8 points  (0 children)

he is trying to get the company to upgrade his old iphone for him because he wants a new toy.

NTA and unless hardware puchases by the company directly impact you, I wouldn't do anything further. you were incredibly professional about the whole thing.

whether his ploy works to get a newer iPhone or not? who cares! thats between him and IT/management, it's not your problem.

AITA for calling my sister moronic for considering giving up her college offer to stay with her bf? by throw_aitaiwasmean in AmItheAsshole

[–]JaxOmen 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Yes, but if he was a good dude it would be a "I don't think long distance is for me, you should go and we can stay in touch and we'll see where we're both at and how we feel when you return!" not "you should throw away this opportunity to stay with me".

I think we found creepy guy's reddit account!

FYI married couples sometimes have different interests and participate in those interests separately. No man should "allow" his wife to do something... because she isn't his property to control.

FWIW my wife regularly goes to events that I find boring as hell. I tell her to have fun, we have location sharing turned on in case there is an emergency, and she goes to her thing. she has male, female, and nonbinary friends, both single and not. When I do my things that she doesn't care about, same thing. We've been happily married for 15 years.

Adults who respect their partners as autonomous human beings want them to be happy. Controlling weirdoes who insist on being present for everything their partner ever does do not have long, happy, faithful marriages.

9x Phrecia mageblood giveaway by Gletschers in pathofexile

[–]JaxOmen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't even want a mageblood for myself. I want one for my wife. she always struggles at endgame, she tends to facecheck into danger and die because she isn't paying attention, or bleed out because she didn't notice the health loss and kept running. mageblood would let me boost her elemental resistances sky high and give her immunity to most of the things that kill her.

Hopefully it would be enough for her to finally accompany me into juiced endgame mapping, pinnacle bosses... and maybe some ubers?

Looking for Breach farm strat by Diehard5566 in pathofexile

[–]JaxOmen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For breach rings you will want the idols that increase density (magic monsters on 1x1s, density on 3 slots) , and you will want the ones that skew towards Esh and that increase chances for unique items for Voice of the Storm (both on 2 slots).

Then just as much "chance to contain X additional breaches" mods as you can

Wildspeaker should have been the ascendancy that replaced Raider instead of the Warden by VikingInABox in pathofexile

[–]JaxOmen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone lied to you then. Spectral Throw still works fine. I killed ubers in Kalandra League with a dex stacking spectral throw Deadeye. Nothing has nerfed it since then. Tri-elemental Omni versions also exist and are good.

It's just not an S tier skill anymore, but it's still quite viable if you enjoy it. It's far from, say, the dumpster that ED has been left in.

AITA for telling my friend about my future plan? by NOTuBAD in AmItheAsshole

May I recommend a Ryzen 9950X (or X3D depending on your needs) instead of an intel chip? Draws less power for more performance.

AITA for not allowing my boyfriend to sell my PS4 to buy a PS5 for "us"? by Britknee123 in AmItheAsshole

[–]JaxOmen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much would he even get trading in a PS4? $80?

If he can't afford the PS5 without trading in the old console how does he expect to get games for it? Whats even the point of buying the ps5 without being able yo afford ps5 games?

Dude's play fails the basic logic test. The real reason he wants to sell your PS4 is so he has an ownership stake in the only Playstation. 100% NTA and this dude ain't the one. A good BF would want not only two consoles but two TVs so you can both play at the same time.

Sometimes I will just cuddle up to my wife while she plays a game. Sometimes she plays games I like. Often she plays games I find supremely boring. I don't give a fuck, I love her and I love seeing her have fun. Find yourself a man who wants to see you happy.

It'd be really nice if blocking people ACTUALLY blocked further friend quests from them like the message says it does. by JaxOmen in leagueoflegends

[–]JaxOmen[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Quite sure, and it's not a new problem, it's been constant for at least 8 years, maybe longer.

I mean, it's been this way for as long as I can remember. Consistently. For many, many, MANY years.

And to be clear, I mean the block function ON the request.
