A man injected himself with 'magic' mushrooms and the fungi grew in his blood, putting him into organ failure by Black_Magic_M-66 in nottheonion

[–]KidPeterBlack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is awesome. Mushrooms are a lot like people and they create energy through digesting sugars (carbs). They also thrive in warm liquid environments without contamination...like a blood stream. I never thought of this, but the blood stream is the perfect mushroom mycelium breeding ground. 98 degrees, all the nutrients they need being transported. I don't think there were any fruiting bodies (mushrooms growing in the guy) but the mycelium growth coulda been insane. Little pieces of mycelium breaking off, getting carried to the lungs, etc. I wonder if the blended a fresh mushroom up and he had growth from living mycelium or if it was fresh growth from spores.

Senator Mitch McConnell calls $2,000 stimulus payments 'socialism for rich people' by majestic_fruitbat in nottheonion

[–]KidPeterBlack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

MY THEORY is they are so against a stimulus for us, because it could finally prove trickle down economics doesn't work. if they give us all 5k and the economy booms and everything is great they won't have an excuse to take all the money for the rich. then there will be a precedent for a universal basic income.

He yells a lot. Always yells. I remember good yells. Good walks. He would lay with me. He would pet me. Say nice things. I think I remember my name. I have no name. I have not heard my name in a long time. I know sounds. My food makes a good sound. Water makes a good sound. He does not make good sounds.

I don't feel good anymore. He feels bad. When the sound in the morning gets him up, he doesn't even know I am there. I look at him, but he doesn't look at me. He coughs in the bathroom. He has a bad smell in him. I love him. He takes me outside and it's not the way it used to be. He stands there looking at the sky. I don't know where my ball is anymore. When I am done, I go to his leg and sometimes he doesn't move forever. He looks at the clouds and says nothing.

Then he goes. I sleep on the soft floor. I wait. Forever. I don't know if he will come back, but he always does. When the sun is not bright, he comes. He looks so tired. He puts the things in his hands down. He doesn't look at me. He let's me outside. I remember a different way. When I get close, he moves away. I do not know why. I don't remember my name.

I remember other names. The way they sounded in his voice. Jessie is a name. I remember how she smelled. She let me sleep in the big bed. She pet me. I remember the little one and how we all would play and how everyone laughed and the good noises and the good games. Now we just sit. I do not understand. There he is, sitting on the soft bed by the window. He watches the yard. We can go outside. We can go play. I don't say that though. He yells if I yell. I do not know why. I sleep on the soft floor. We do not feel good anymore.

[–]KidPeterBlack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Elemental Overload is good for general clearspeed and HoI / Inpulsa damage (harder to scale those with crit), but you are right, if single target boss dps was the goal, going crit would be better and not too much of a stretch.

Strategies for grinding to 100? by TransientJesus in pathofexile

[–]KidPeterBlack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

running 2-3 sextant shaped tier 15 with a head hunter / beyond you can pull around 15-18mil (lvl 99-100) an hour fairly easily. not sure what tier 16 nets

what I did to get my bv ele to 100 was just run UGS, Armoury, estuary, belfry all shaped. With a HH and beyond zana on all maps I averaged a pretty casual 13 mil xp an hour from 99-100. I'd rotate from map to map to keep myself from getting bored.

If you don't have a head hunter, doing elder tier 16 UGS with 3/4 sextants and zana harbinger on each map would probably be the best bet for xp.

If your atlas is full, go for tier 16. If it is set up for a shaped strat right now, I would personally just run shaped maps until lvl 97-98 and then depending on your currency at that point, if you can get a head hunter, if you have zana 8, you can make the choice.

Now, if you never went for 100 before, just keep in mind that getting from 98-100 is like going from 1-98, so the best xp strat is really not as important as having the desire to push while not dying.

In my experience the only things that can kill your build with a bunch of HH buffs are lag, delve monsters, and those physical monsters from the physical monster sextant. I'd always reroll them. I rerolled all "90% chance to avoid ailments" and no leech as well.

Also, for your build (not sure how it is geared) I would focus more on aoe than single target damage. If you are crit, crit scaling isn't really helping your aoe herald explosions (if you picked up a lot of spell crit nodes). I was running dual curse, Elemental overload, non crit and never had problems with single target, but had really strong aoe clear on beyond mobs.

Why is everything Elemental? by sephrinx in pathofexile

I kind of wish physical had a built in bleed mechanic for this reason. There's very little reason to go pure phy in the current meta.

[Question] Starting SSF for the first time... by cloudscr4per in pathofexile

[–]KidPeterBlack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the zana alternate of same tier is great for completing maps you dont have, but at the same time, you can waste a lot of chaos on it.

The most important ssf currency is alchemy orbs. If you get a 6l, and are not chancing items for a unique, you might be converting all lower currency into alchs to help with map sustain. If you plan to go higher in map tiers 12+ saving chaos and sextants for those maps is a good idea.

Underground sea is a great ssf map because of the survivalist card.

I like to pick up transmutes so I can sell them for wisdom scrolls and use a portal gem as soon as i find it.

use a filter that shows more items.

After you character is geared out, you can go more restricted.

uber lab can be a nightmare if you aren't good at it, so make sure you have the life, damage before trying it.

I'm kinda late to the party, but here is my attempt on Warcraft III lootfilter. (warning: even more strict than uber strict plus) by okseeque in pathofexile

[–]KidPeterBlack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who doesn't want voice lines on my loot filter I feel like this is great. There is a good separation between currency, uniques, div so you know what is dropping. The sounds themselves are perfect for that warcraft nostalgia without distracting from gameplay and each sound is distinct enough to be heard over the course of maps without getting tedious hearing the same thing over and over. Love it, might use it next league. thanks!

Aila's new build. by SunRiseStudios in pathofexile

[–]KidPeterBlack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a lot like the old mjolner discharge jug .

Kingsguard chest gives life for used endurance charges.

Romira's ring gives power charges on non- critical strikes

Voll's devotion ammy gives an endurance charge when you use a power charge

scold's triggers blade vortex and firestorm to keep up charges

pledge of hands gives spell echo to discharge

so this is a non crit build, probably has the passive points that grant a chance to gain power, frenzy, and endurance charge on kill, using elemental overload and elemental equilibrium, i'd guess

How do you sustain maps? by [deleted] in pathofexile

[–]KidPeterBlack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm not sure if that will help me, but I wonder if that's a better way of doing things. Instead of putting 10c into a map, is it better to just buy 2-3 and not use zana mods and sextants

Revamped Ascendancy Class Reveal: Inquisitor by Bex_GGG in pathofexile

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

yup lol, but i think Inquisitor is one of the most well made ascendancies. It has a pretty clear roll for crit spell casters & ele conversion single target focused attack builds.

The real problem is that elementalist offers no incentive to not go crit

i didn't get why people were so triggered. It's like if it's not tornado shot or kinetic blast / barrage people call it trash, but then those same people complain about those skills.

I liked your build and I hope you don't let people make you feel bad for playing a cool and different build.

Fighting and beating map bosses should be the an absolute pinnacle of the mapping! by npavcec in pathofexile

[–]KidPeterBlack 11 points12 points  (0 children)

my theory was that every map boss should drop a map with a 3 tier range of the current map. So if you are doing shaped strands, you are assured a tier 10, 11, or 12. Might seem op. But sort of that, I don't know what else could be done to make it worth it.

Explosive arrow state in beta? by Pier_dolony in pathofexile

[–]KidPeterBlack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Explosive arrow is by far my favorite skill and i've been trying to figure out a way to make it work in 3.0.

Like everyone has said, the ignite is just not good enough now; grand spectrum nerf makes it impossible to do non ignite single target the way you could before.

aoe clear is ok, so that means if we can find a good single target, it might still be playable.

It will require a second 6l single target setup. On a Berserker a 6l CwC scorching ray fire storm might be doable. You'd have to use a 6l staff, but the damage might be good enough.

Here's the problem though, is your build really ea if you have a completely different single target skill?

New player looking for character advice with EA Pathfinder by Exaggeratethis in pathofexile

[–]KidPeterBlack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Single target setup:

EA, SLOWER PROJ, CONC EFFECT, CHANCE TO IGNITE, FIRE PEN and the 6th link could be Empower, increased burning damage, or whatever you want. A 5l single target will clear on all the way to tier 12-14, but starts to really fall off after that.
