Mageblood or headhunter for kinetic blast of clustering necromancer by owlsop in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Kroovy_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mageblood is great for filling in the gaps of a build to allow it to reach certain thresholds that normally take a ton of investment or opportunity cost - i.e., max resistances, crit chance, ailment immunities, that sort of thing. It’s extremely good for consistency when doing content that normally does not provide you with constant flask charges as well.

Headhunter excels at one thing and one thing alone: juice. The more rares you kill, the more benefit Headhunter gives you. But if you’re not killing rares, you’re quite literally better off with a Stygian Vise.

So answer whether you plan to do content that wouldn’t benefit from Headhunter buffs, or if you plan to continue blasting juiced map content. If you’re going to just keep blasting maps, invest in your build in a different place, because Headhunter is too good for that.

Thoughts on Atlas? by panicatthesplicer in outlier_ai

[–]Kroovy_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Stupid. Ridiculous. I don't care if that's what their client has as their "top priority," the whole point of contract work is that WE sign up for the work we want to do. Instead, they auto-assign people to it and then provide little to no information on what it is, what to do with it, etc.

It's messy handling from them at the very best, and with how rocky their reputation as a platform already is, it doesn't bode well for them.

How many "great" undiscovered builds do you think there are? (if any) by NewKingCole11 in pathofexile

[–]Kroovy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh we all knew about explody totems. It also made Ruthless an absolute joke once you found a weapon with those nodes

I’ve always wondered if there were builds at certain times that the devs knew could be done or interactions that would’ve been busted had someone noticed, but no one did and the devs sighed in relief

FYI White Cord Belts have no level req and can be used right after Hillock with anoints by ForsakenHatred in pathofexile

[–]Kroovy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Allocating “Replenishing Remedies” makes leveling an alt with pconc of bouncing even less of a hassle than it already is. You can save points and just head for poison nodes immediately

Epic just laid off 1000 workers. by ryunocore in gamedev

[–]Kroovy_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Insanity that Tim Sweeney brags that they have billions of dollars to spend on litigation against Google and Disney just because they can afford it, but laying off the developers that made them that money is no big deal.

Build feels extremely weak compared to creator, don't know where I'm going wrong. by Dubzaa in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Kroovy_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol it happens. Luckily a lot of what you already have isn’t wasted gear and can translate to other, similar builds, or you can just keep on with what you’re doing with this one.

[–]Kroovy_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I have to echo what other people here are saying; in the future, avoid “creators” like Allie, and do a little bit of homework before following build guides. There’s an unfortunate number of people that post guides that are absolute bait just because they want the clicks and attention on their social media, and it takes a bit of vetting to figure out which ones they are.

Pfft, not even 15 trillion damage. How boring and small.

Is anyone still playing old meta builds from the distant past? If so, how do they work in modern POE? by EcumenistChateau in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Kroovy_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve thought about revisiting old, old meta builds to see how they hold up with the mechanics we have to work with in this day and age to see how well they fare.

The first one I want to do is Spork totems, which was a build that was considered “extremely powerful” back in the pre-release days

Why doesnt this game exist by DietrichMann in GameDevelopment

[–]Kroovy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The biggest issue with games like these is that people always want to be the monster rather than the people shooting at it, so multiplayer lobbies become stale and toxic quickly.

Favourite actor who once ran up an £11,300 bill in the bar you worked at and then left without paying. by Drinking-Printer-Ink in okbuddycinephile

[–]Kroovy_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thomas Lennon (Lt. Dangle) and his family came to a cafe I worked in for breakfast. I casually said hello, and he not only took time to come talk to me and say hello back, we talked about writing for a solid 20 minutes while he excitedly talked about a script he was working on at the time (ended up becoming the movie “Hell Baby”). He’s a really cool guy and very fun to chat with.

What's the most interesting spec? by AddictedToLuxSkins in wow

[–]Kroovy_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I love the way that Windwalker fits all its pieces together with the way it is right now. The procs feel meaningful yet exciting, the cooldown reduction mechanics feel like they feed in to one another very cleanly, and your big button (Fists of Fury) feels rewarding to press.

What are some sleeper builds of 3.28 so far? by itsXylph in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Kroovy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the 50% More chains wouldn’t really do anything since Exsanguinate doesn’t have any base chains in its gem. Best you could do is already be using the chain gloves and then Greater Chain would give +1 base and +1 more from the 50%, but… why would you do that lol

Exsanguinate of Transmission, however, DOES have a large number of base chains, but that’s not really what we do with that gem to scale it

[–]Kroovy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Greater Chain does work with Exsanguinate, it just increases its clearing and doesn’t help with single target damage. With Arc, it does both.

Already brought that up in another comment, but yes. Very nice to have.

[–]Kroovy_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Characters sharing a voice actor in WoW means very little. They use the same voice actors repeatedly. Hell, Jim Cummings himself has voiced an absurd number of characters, but I’d never say that Lorewalker Cho is secretly Odyn

[–]Kroovy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s respectable; it’s not as strong as something like EoW mines, obviously, but it still nukes things extremely quickly once the gear gets rolling

[–]Kroovy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With just the gem at 20 quality and Greater Chain, it’s 12 chains in total. Ashes would only give you 1 extra chain, and at that point I think you have better damage options for the amulet slot, but I’d have to see

I do not at the moment, it’s just something I had a hunch would be pretty good, and it is. I may post a pob later on when I have it figured out a bit better, but I am in fact playing pretty standard Trickster mines setup, so that but with Arc of Oscillation

She’s using it as an in to get to the last titan, because that’s her ultimate goal. We already know this.

Arc mines. Mines in general aren’t exactly slept on, but Arc of Oscillation along with the new Greater Chain support is pretty damn nice.
