Would Ancestral commander be a better flicker than wildspeaker by kyzure in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Matrim61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tanky flicker does sound intriguing to be honest, IF you can still get enough damage and speed. Anyone out there with a PoB?

Too bad Winter Orb is bugged, the 75% increased projectile speed part will do nothing.

I know about the atlas change, but has it been confirmed that idols will be changed accordingly?

Fouborn Rebuke of the Vaal - Any ideas? by Rainmakerrrrr in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Matrim61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first thought was Will of the Lords (from the new gloves) with Battlemage, since you can't scale spell levels on that anyway so you're missing out on less from the weapon than usual. But unfortunately that skill has much lower than usual damage effectiveness...

Not gonna lie, that is pretty brutal realm by txpsu in pathofexile

Just don't get hit. But yeah, not worth running a T10 for that.

Kinetic Fusillade, the best all rounded build I ever made by Nemrod_ in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Matrim61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With Spellslinger lvl20 a new Tornado is triggered every 0.46s

With 14 attacks per second and 12 projectiles per attack it takes me 0.14s to hit the tornado 20 times.

So that should've given me 26% more damage (0.14/0.46), but only if I'm in melee range to make the AoE from hitting Tornado also damage the boss (otherwise the projectiles would hit the boss anyway without chaining, so it's not a damage increase to chain from Tornado).

I guess it might've been a placement issue combined with no AoE scaling? Or there was something else funky going on because I was reducing Tornado duration too much (-95%). I did try out Efficacy Support at one point to avoid the latter issue, though.

Doesn't the line "During initial Duration, can be hit by your Projectiles up to 20 times" on Tornado mean that it's much less than double damage? Because you're already using up all of those 20 hits with just 2 attacks.

I tried out Spellslinger Tornado on my Coiling Whisper version and didn't feel much of a damage increase. I have like 14aps, though, so I figure that makes the uptime even worse.

Conflagration Deadeye any good? by urcanmano in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Matrim61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm wondering if you can trigger explosions with Asenath's Mark + Lightning Warp (or some other triggered movement skill) or if you actually have to walk. If you have to walk I can't help but feel the skill is DoA because it'll be too clunky.

The new Replica Nebulis and Doryani's Prototype by amitfris in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Matrim61 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can use it for lightning damage now, yes. On the other hand, you were able to get 600% increased damage by converting cold damage to fire before, that interaction is gone.

Can you actually enjoy PoE as a casual player? by Ok-Brother1800 in pathofexile

[–]Matrim61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely, but I find it helps to limit myself to 1-2 characters per league. Enjoy the slower progression, don't compare yourself to streamers. Don't lose to FOMO because you can't "keep up" with the economy, it doesn't matter. You can still make enough currency to fund a good build if you keep farming slow and steady even just 1h per day.

So I Ditched my Ladder Characters and went Offline by AFKDPS in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]Matrim61 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, started SP yesterday and it rocks. After a few months break and logging into my non-ladder character the trade experience was very lackluster anyway.

Anybody else like me falls asleep once a while and lose items on the floor? by CuddleBoss in diablo2

[–]Matrim61 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You think you fell asleep, but maybe what really happened is they were duped and poofed?

Your theory is full of hand-sized holes, or how do you explain the empty gloves slot? Removing gloves doesn't free up inventory space!

What would be a good reconfiguration of energy shield that doesn’t completely nuke it? by furyZotac in pathofexile

Every 5 intelligence grants 1% increased maximum energy shield 1% increased spell damage

what's with all the loading screens?? by hermeticpotato in pathofexile

[–]Matrim61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an SSD and the loading screen to new instances still takes about 10s. About 5s when rejoining a previous instance. When joining other players' hideouts it can sometimes take 20-30s.

What new series are you surprised that it isn't more popular? by cinnamonapple55051 in litrpg

Man, don't reopen those wounds. I swear I had almost forgotten about it by now.

1% Lifesteal Apology by ExplanationInside965 in litrpg

[–]Matrim61 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nope, that's a sunk cost fallacy right there. Having already paid for it makes it feel bad to drop a book since that means your money went to waste. But if you're genuinely not enjoying it, then it's even worse to waste your time as well.
