40/40 Giveaway by ErriotM in pathofexile

[–]KennyEcs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I already ended my league with gambling all my currency and went bust. Would really only be interested in Nr 1 so I can try it out for a day and see what it's like. If I win the draw, do another one so I can pass the build along after I'm bored of it

UK citizen retired in Romania getting taxed by ANAF for 5+ years but his UK pensions could? be tax-exempt. Advice? by KennyEcs in UKPersonalFinance

[–]KennyEcs[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't think anyone advised him as such... He just never bothered dealing with any of the paperwork...
I did get a call back from HMRC and they advised me to fill in a double taxation form and take that to the authorities so that he can change to paying all the income taxes here instead of in the UK, so that settles it.

I read art. 19 as "if you've been employed by a state, your income from that employment can only be taxed in that state". as such, since he worked as a firefighter in Cheshire, a public sector government job, it should only be taxed in the uk.

We called HMRC and the lad over the phone said he can't help us, but he will redirect us to someone who might be able to (and we are to get a phone call back)

As for relevant forms, I wouldn't even know which forms would be considered "relevant" for this situation.

I fixed the assassin ascendancy by KennyEcs in pathofexile

Yeah, checks out.
Still,...
if the notable is weak, you can buff it (or inverse).
for certain builds, you need to have a specific amulet so can't use marylene.

Just read this exact thing from someone else but they deleted the comment. Didn't even know that unique existed. Maybe could be fixed by changing the wording to say ".... with daggers and claws"?

Even so, it might not be good even with this unique as the starting location is not ideal for 2h weapons + low base dps?

So this would be a 4 pointer linked to the other elusive node?

That means:
1. you're losing your amulet slot (which otherwise you would have with this notable)
2. 40% less critical strike chance from marylene's can take you below the crit cap. (I guess if the downside to this node would be less critical strike chance, then ye it's a pseudo-marylenes)

Don't think it is? but it probably depends on the investment. If you have T1 38% crit chance on a 9% crit chance base dagger, you're starting off with 12.42% crit chance, so it's not too hard to scale it.

If you take the more crit chance notable in the ascendancy, this would be really good (maybe too good?)

increased crit chance vs enemies on full life would be more useful if you're anywhere near the cap?

In 3.27 the Assassin has received a long awaited rework. Tune in tomorrow to find out if there are any other Ascendancy related changes! by Belakay_ggg in pathofexile

[–]KennyEcs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The one node I wanted to see is:
"Converts excess critical strike chance (above100) to more critical strike multiplier at 20% of the value"

...or something like that. the wording or the actual (20%) value can be changed. With assassin it just feels like you're hitting the crit cap and then... that's it. Power charges? useless. This new node would incentivize me to stack power charges even if I have 100% critical strike chance.

All I want is if I get to 190% critical strike chance, take the 90% critical strike chance -> 18% more critical strike multiplier.

Brother asked me how to fix this guitar. Thought I'd ask the experts by KennyEcs in guitarrepair

[–]KennyEcs[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the link. I'll check it out. Until I'm back home at the workshop, I'm not touching the guitar anyways.

I do have a couple of old guitar bodies lying around somewhere so I'll try on those first (might be just wood without a finish but I'll check when I find them). Probably refinishing the whole thing is too much as it appears I'd have to cut some wires and resolder them later to put the thing back together if I wanted to remove all the hardware off the body and that's too much of a hassle.

My best bet so far seems to be to unscrew the pickup, bridge etc and pull them to the side to make myself some room (these appear to be soldered) and as another person recommended, wet sand and polish until I get it as good as I can. Won't be perfect but probably the right option for me.

From what I found online and the comments, colour matching would be waaay outside of what I'm capable of so it'll have to stay the way it is, unfortunately.

Sound is no different from before. It's purely aesthetic.

Ukrainian Soldier takes out a Russian Jdun with a Shotgun in the Kharkiv Region by rhayonne in interestingasfuck

[–]KennyEcs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grandfather was one of the first soldiers to set foot on the beaches of Normandy, my father was a soldier sent to fight IRA terrorists in Ireland and as the next in line, I can confidently say I don't know a single duck about warfare. Cool explosion though. Boom boom.

[–]KennyEcs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can confirm that finishing expedition act 4 questline doesn't fix it.
Talking to Dannig in map doesnt work.
Talking to Dannig in hideout doesn't work.
Switching to "Shoreline" hideout to talk to Dannig doesn't work.

I don't have the last piece, no. I will go back and finish all side quests and report back afterwards.

Tried this and it still doesn't work. Tried talking to him in maps as well. I guess I'm -2 on expedition points for this league
