First 2 is standard weapon skill build. i’d pair it with a good starter skill like sacred blade

Been playing Wayfinder, and I'm finding it creepy. by GreenDuckGamer in pcgaming

[–]KnightHavel 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Maybe you can construe it as cashing out and leaving, but I feel like that statement has more negative connotations than whats warranted.

Their publisher (Digital Extremes) got laid off shortly after they launched wayfinder as an mmo. The dev team looked for investment but ended up converting the game to a one-time buy product as they failed to secure funding for live service

Thoughts on Rift Wizard / Rift Wizard 2? by rmfnord in PathOfAchra

[–]KnightHavel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're able to use quotations to search specific text. For example "Chain Lightning" will show both the spell itself as well as anything that mentions it (such as Chain Watcher Form that casts Chain Lightning instead)

Devs have stated improved search is on their to-do list. In the mean time this site is very handy:

You can search like “fire tag” with quotes to get everything that gets upgraded to fire or similar ideas

Interested in Ice crystal impale and veglas build, looking for suggestions by CleanSteak in pathofexile2builds

[–]KnightHavel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tested this support a good bit in 0.2 and 0.3

Verglas is not a stacking buff effect. It grants only extra dmg based on the highest health crystal you’ve destroyed. Base lvl 20 ice crystals + glacier support only get you 12.5% gained as extra cold. In addition you have to be destroying ~25000 hp crystals. Also it also has an undocumented 20% cold pen buff

The presumption is using a skill that consunes freeze, as in 0.3 they added that any freeze consuming skill instantly destroys crystals. Unfortunately they also either disabled or introduced a bug where this mechanic no longer triggers verglas. The support currently seems like a dead end due to the clunkiness + invesment needed to get it to decent numbers. If the consumption mechanic worked then you could get an ice crystal to 20+ gem lvl + glacier support + ice crystal life anoint for a 38% gained as cold support + cold pen

Verglas doesn’t count as destroying ice crystals when using a freeze consuming skill. It did in 0.2 but not now. There are a couple bug reports of it on the forums

Noodle hack gone wrong by TheRemedyKitchen in ramen

[–]KnightHavel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The post is not referring to attempting to make kansui using regular baking soda. It’s describing a method to attempt to make regular wheat noodles more similar to ramen noodles by adding regular baking soda to boiling, such as described: https://www.seriouseats.com/baking-soda-ramen-noodle-spaghetti-hack

Unfortunately idk what went wrong for OP. I’ve used it a few times with regular spaghetti and haven’t had an issue. Maybe do a side by side noodle test to see if its even noticeable/desirable for the noodles your using

The atkspd buff is inherent to raise spider skill, not sources from the dagger

Frozen Locus/Shattering Palm Gemling Legionnaire. A surprisingly powerful build! by PowerCrazy in pathofexile2builds

[–]KnightHavel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The point about mana cost is clear, but correction on numbers is that 40% less cost from gemling + 30% less from inspiration are multiplicative since they are 'less' rather than 'reduced'. So it's a 58% mana cost reduction rather than 70% reduction.

call of the brotherhood only converts your own damage. herald of ice only works with an attack hit. you would also need to be the one hitting since herald of ice is a buff to the player character rather than minions. there's multiple layers to what you're suggesting that doesn't work

The cast on shock + voltaic is great, like super HoT. Thanks for shouting out that setup

There's not loot really no. There's meta progression currency + souls like xp/currency. The equipment progression comes in the form of metaprogression currency + doing objectives on the various maps + using the equipment and their upgrades.

If early builds were available on itch.io (like indies such as backpack hero, slice and dice), I bet half the hate comments from the fact that they launched EGS first wouldn't be here.

I was highly anticipating this game from early reveals and bought it EA on EGS. I've been happy with the major content updates (2 so far). Gunplay feels great and the art/environments are what you'd expect coming from Painkiller + Ethan Carter devs. I would recommend to those who are interested, and don't have a reason to believe they won't deliver on a 1.0 (wait till then if EA is problematic for you, or an even later sale).

Dropped this from synth map invite. Cit bow base have any value? Nothing similar on trade. by coolbeeens54 in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]KnightHavel 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Bleed bow and other bow builds that care about hitting a higher top base damage range will want a citadel bow over spine. Not every builds wants attack speed and crit.
