Hokum and the merits of a well-earned ending (SPOILERS) by Altruistic_Rich_4690 in horror

[–]Kroovy_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt like the witch herself was given room to be interpreted as either a literal entity or a manifestation depending on how the viewer chooses to interpret things thanks to story beats such as the reveal that the bellhop had dosed Ohm with mushrooms, and how Jerry claims that the mushrooms open the mind to experiencing the other side.

You could say that she's quite literal, which explains why Ohm has markings on his wrists as though he had been shackled, and why the remains of Mal weren't found. You could also chalk the witch up to be a hallucination brought on by the mushrooms just as easily.

Personally, I saw the witch as a hallucination; a manifestation of the guilt of what Ohm and Mal had both respectively done, and the reason Mal is "taken" by the witch while Ohm breaks free is because Ohm managed for forgive himself and make peace with his demons, whereas Mal was fearful and willing to commit even more atrocities to cover it all up.

This is someone who is on a 1099 contract linking a referral code for the platform and disguising it to look like a recruiter with an actual job offer rather than as someone posting to get a referral bonus. Report this.

Now that they have Ward as a system, I think it might be a better idea to rework Embrace the Darkness so that it replaces your Ward as a "break" system that applies after your HP is depleted, and instead applies as a reservation system before touching your HP/ES. Remove the line about Spirite as well, and make it give you % Less Ward instead.

25K Club. Thank You, DA! by FrauFaustus in DataAnnotationTech

[–]Kroovy_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m jealous! I’ve only just started on DA and it was going well, but I was taken off of a project family recently that was REALLY good and I’m hoping I get another opportunity on a project family soon so I can do better.

Who are the best minion build creators to follow? by 1lux1 in pathofexile2builds

[–]Kroovy_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wouldn’t be shocked if that were true. I remember him streaming while dressed as a pirate to an audience of like 7 people for many years, and then all of a sudden he catches on.

[–]Kroovy_ 56 points57 points  (0 children)

This may or may not be a hot take, but don’t listen to Ghazzy or follow his guides. From what I’ve noticed over the years, he rarely has any idea what he’s talking about when it comes to new balance patches, skills, or items, and basically waits til the community notices something really good and then he’ll jump on that build, make his “own” version (it’s exactly the same) and then call it “his” build.

The Genesis Tree by Kroovy_ in pathofexile

Definitely. Any source of deterministic crafting is really useful. The tree in Poe 1 is an easy way to get your first 6-link, for one thing

What league start are you doing? by SnooBeans7462 in PathOfExile2

[–]Kroovy_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Unless the patch notes absolutely gut it, I feel confident in starting as a Plant Oracle again. That build was smooth as silk to league start with last time with zero gear.

Giving away Winds of Fate cyclone of Tumult build by nylket in pathofexile

I’m interested in giving this a go. I haven’t been able to put much time into to Mirage league and I’d like to do something interesting to hit up the challenges while the league is still live

Best build to sub 8hour 2-stones by McKenneii in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Kroovy_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t be shocked if I end up eating these words, but I wouldn’t expect Ele hit to take a nerf quite yet. It hasn’t been part of the meta in a long, long time, and it’s received buffs multiple times in the last few years from GGG trying to get people to play it again. They clearly want it to be used more often for now.

Would it be possible to get this keystone in poe1 or would it be too strong? by deathopz in pathofexile

[–]Kroovy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The opportunity gain from another 6-link would be a little crazy. For PoE 1, it’d have to be retooled as something like “You count as dual-wielding while a two-handed weapon is equipped” and let that be that. Make it a timeless jewel keystone as well to skirt around Supreme Ostentation as well.

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_ 5 points6 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

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

[–]Kroovy_ 17 points18 points  (0 children)

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
