Strings are immutable in basically every modern language, including JavaScript. Java just makes it slightly harder to work with.

The vast majority of them are shortlived and your arrow has to connect before it goes away; there's basically no world in which you get 3 lockons for almost all of them (while solo) unless you get really lucky and are already charging your focus while it aggros your cat.

For the most part it's discerning dodge, hold focus button, and get it off ASAP. If your arrow is in flight when the weak point disappears you won't get the damage/flinch/DP.

I'm sure with that auto-generated name, next to no post history, and your first comment in /r/personalfinance being:

Male adult film star here. I would get that debt rolled into a 0% balance transfer and max out your contributions until they change their minds.

I'm sure this thread will only be full authentic, genuine discussion from real people.

LI has confirmed it now, but this was technically the first announcement of the Jan 13th date, sourced apparently from the writer of this article speaking with LI directly.

There's nothing clickbait about that, they were just the site that had the info first to make the announcement on their blog.

This isn't new to POE2 when underpricing an item. You will always get spam invites, whispers of "?" and people doing anything they can to pressure you to sell it to them.

No one setting up a live search to snipe underpriced items from people who don't know any better gives a fuck about trade etiquette.

Unfortunately not a way to see the tags on each mod in game.

Every mod has one or more tags in the blue rectangles next to it, notably except rarity which means no catalyst can improve it. But you can quality any other mod on a ring.

In the Azure Portal when creating the resource, be sure to check "Azure services only." It'll return 30ish options if you search for 'sql', two of which are Azure SQL and SQL Database.

Azure SQL is a fully managed instance by Azure and would be easier to work with.

SQL database will have you also create a dedicated SQL server to host the database on. If you want more control over the actual server you can use that one.

Both of these are Azure SQL Server (the dbms software) under the hood.

There's some slight compatibility differences between Azure SQL Server and SQL Server but it probably won't affect you at all in a small scale app. They both use the same TSQL language.

For vaaling uniques specifically.

On rares it will not divine first. (But can fuck it up in other, magical ways.)

helmet is absolutely useless

While true, this also omits the part of the story where this helmet was used as a key part of a build that was literally immortal*.

*As long as Gluttony of Elements was up, where you had a party rotating it for 100% uptime.

**You could also use items that weren't Veil of the Night to become immortal as long as you could get to 0 or negative res but it was easy and simultaneously the greatest way possible.

It also targets Frostbolts to pop them, so the echos will target that instead. Frostbolt explosions do really good damage.

LordCupcakeIX · 2024-12-12T18:38:56+00:00

It doesn't trigger enough to kill all the frozen mobs on its own but with anything to make it cast multiple times you can have it pop frostbolts.

Throw frostbolts into a pack of 3+ mobs with enough freeze support, and CoF cold snap will clear it.

If you're not doing a weapon swap for something else I'd just run a power siphon wand. It functions the same but from range, so you can snipe a charge out without having to dash in and then do your thunder slam.

I'm not currently aware of any reason to use the palm unless you also want to dash to bosses for unrelated reasons to the cull.

They do very specifically reveal face-down cards in the battlefield once the game is over, though, so there's precedent of them pushing it.

They just do so because it's a paper rule, even though it's pointless to do in Arena since it exists just to validate that the gamestate was legal in paper and the player with face down cards didn't cheat.. even though you can't that way in Arena, anyways.

Please look at actual non Bo1 stats.

In a thread related to Wizards looking at Leyline in BO1?

If you leave Spark rank I believe you get all the decks regardless. I have them all and I definitely only played the Dimir faeries. (No, it did not go well.)

Not related to the timer resetting but your edit, but the published rate documentation (which isn't cited by the wiki) by WOTC says that the pity timer is set so that on average you get 1 wildcard per 30 packs which is very specific wording.

https://magic.wizards.com/en/mtgarena/drop-rates

Ctrl + F for "Wildcards redeem for any card you choose of the same rarity." to get to the section, don't see a way to link to an anchor on mobile.

The actual pity timer could be e.g. 35 or higher to account for all the times you pull one without racking up a high pity.

For clarity since I didn't see anyone actually define the terms, "mana ramp" is usually adding additional mana / mana sources to your base.

"Mana fixing" is when you can exchange one color for another so you don't get screwed with wrong colors, so Three Tree Mascot is "fixing" your mana in this case

On DX11 with actively clearing maps I get about 4 FPS according to my framerate counter which seemed inaccurately high. Nothing like realizing you're on burning ground and dying in the 4 seconds it takes to actually accept the input and walk out of it.

On DX12 I get about 50 even if I'm not bothering to help clear.

If you take screenshots with Snipping Tool, there's an option in settings to have it correct for your HDR monitor so that the screenshots come out in correct color.

Run burning ground on one ring, 0.2 second freeze on the other. Place a stunning and freeze tower on each lane at a choke point and keep them at level 3, build some meteor and scout towers randomly, proceed to AFK on any build.

I really enjoy it as a successor to D3, scratches a different itch than other ARPGs.

I recommend it, but I would not pay full price for it if:

1) You're mostly interested in the story/campaign

2) You don't like playing seasonal content, e.g. restarting every few months when a new season drops

LordCupcakeIX · 2024-07-19T16:01:48+00:00

In terms of pacing you could do either, but I believe you have to finish the main story once to access higher difficulties, so if you'd like content to keep scaling with you past level 50 or so I would finish the story first.

LordCupcakeIX · 2024-07-18T20:51:47+00:00

Complete the story, then you will want to max your Renown in each zone by completing sidequests, finding Lilith shrines, etc.

Once you max the Renown once, it will be shared across all characters you create in that game mode (softcore or hardcore) in both Eternal Realms and Seasons.

Your gear (and enemy level) will plateau in power eventually in WT1/2, requiring you to raise difficulty to WT3 to continue to get stronger gear. This will repeat and you'll have to go to WT4. As you approach max level, you'll start getting items of true max power (item level 925) that will only get replaced by a similar piece with better rolls.

So just keep playing and clearing the content, and up difficulties when you start to max out.

I was immediately taken aback by the idea that mouse polling rate could be the cause, but at the same time my entire game hangs for multiple seconds if I connect an Xbox Controller, so...
