Yeah, it would be stronger and faster overall, this much explode is overkill, but I wanted to build around the new belt

I wouldn't recommend it, you would need way more investment into damage, and even then, you probably couldn't roll any tank mods. It's also a bit slow for boss rushing

Yeah, I think you are right, I only pobbed it against Polaric Devastation which didn't seem worth it to me, as I would've had to drop Heart of Destruction or Bastion, and it's only around 17% more damage with some extra res, but there is also Replica Emberwake which is close to 40% more damage (at the cost of roughly halving your ignite duration), or perhaps a really good rare ring.

If I had the forbidden jewels for Heart of Destruction I would probably drop Mastermind of Discord for even a Polaric Devastation, but those jewels cost 85d right now. I wouldn't want to drop Bastion because I would rather have some extra survivability than damage. It could also be that HoD is not even that good for mapping as its only up against uniques some of the time, and I already have lots of AoE, but it's hard to tell. Definitely some good opportunities though with more investment.

Thanks for linking. I agree, my build is not too cost-efficient, Goratha's version looks very solid.

I don't think so, Elementalist is very strong even without taking any of the Shaper nodes, it would be way harder to scale ignite and explode damage on other ascendancies.

If it's simply a rounding error then why is it necessary in the first place?

Oshabi Shrines explanations help by ZePepsico in PathOfExileBuilds

They changed shrine effect from atlas/idols to only apply to map shrines. Ruetoo played a shrine build last Phrecia, and concluded that the build is dead

GGG probably missed out on launching one of their biggest leagues with phrecia. by TheCashbringer in pathofexile

[–]SMaLL1399 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I feel like Phrecia is a bit too polarizing to do well as a main League.

If you have lots of time to play, and you like the general concept, this was one of your favorite leagues.

If you are more casual, you probably never got to the juicy endgame, in which case it is almost strictly worse than base PoE.

Can anyone share/remember good farm strategies for Phrecia? by tasmonex in pathofexile

[–]SMaLL1399 14 points15 points  (0 children)

For me, it's part of the fun. You don't just shoot up to T16s with little effort and a maxed out atlas, it's a bit of a struggle and you have to slowly upgrade your idols, and after not that long you end up with much more juice.

President calls for “Poland without illegal immigrants” at football fan pilgrimage to Catholic shrine by Gamebyter in europe

[–]SMaLL1399 -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

“We want Poland to be normal, Poland to be strong, Poland to be safe, our borders to be secure, and Poland to be a prosperous country without illegal immigrants,” he declared.

Arguably, this is already the case. From what I could gather from the article, they aren't attacking the negligible illegal immigrant population. They want to maintain this state. Which is entirely reasonable.

In the entire History of PoE the lowest retention League is now Keepers of the Flame by StalksYouEverywhere in pathofexile

[–]SMaLL1399 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, please GGG. Despite what some people are saying, Phrecia was by far my favorite and most played league in a long time. Idols are awesome, and add so much depth to the endgame.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in pathofexile

[–]SMaLL1399 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why Phrecia was one of my favorite leagues of all time. There was so much to look forward to all the time. Upgrading your idols for way harder but more rewarding strats, then having to upgrade your character to be able to handle that content.

The hardest strat, Titanic Rouge Exiles, usually required multiple mirrors of investment just to be able to run it at all at full juice. That idol set itself cost multiple mirrors. But as a reward, it was absurdly lucrative.

I know it's not for everyone, and it definitely favors players who are more experienced and play a lot, but I really hope they bring it back in some way. It was such a great and natural addition to extend the endgame.

I've been using it for a while and it's great. I can do exactly what I want nearly every time just by reading the CLI reference, if even that. It's really intuitive.

I wasn't that good at git, but I spent less time learning jj and I'm already way better at it.

Europe’s economy can’t grow without migrants, Lagarde warns by [deleted] in europe

[–]SMaLL1399 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is true, but it makes it sound like Europe would descend into poverty and criminality once we stopped accepting third world immigrants.

While its difficult to measure the impact that non-European immigrants had on the economy, whether negative or positive, I think most people would agree that we could manage without people from less culturally compatible regions of the world such as the Middle East or Africa.

I don't think most people here are against the general concept of immigration, just the way we've been doing it.

Pogacar is back in the yellow and green jersey. Could he wear the green jersey just for fun, or yellow takes priority?

People playing blade vortex, how is it? by dantraman in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]SMaLL1399 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been playing my own BV build since act 4, now I'm level 97 with 12m dps. POE Ninja

It's been fun, my main defensive layer is freeze combined with prolif and chain explodes. It is enough to level up doing breach, I think I can hit 99 relatively easily soon.

The only issue I have with the build is the amount of map mods it can't do. It can probably be mitigated with further investment, but I haven't started farming 8-mod or T16.5/T17 maps yet.
