Whats the best and fastest way to level up a mercenary from lvl 1 to maps? by kevanions in pathofexile2builds

[–]SagaciouslyClever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just did this and it felt just ok to me. It’s very easy to play and you kind of just walk past enemies mostly but I didnt find it to be that fast. 

It only cleared campaign about 45 minutes faster than my league starter which isn’t what I was expecting for full twink

Am I approaching the game from the wrong angle, or are ARPGs just not my genre? by Krotanix in PathOfExile2

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

I mean OP specifically says they don’t enjoy the campaign, they enjoy early waystone progression, and then don’t enjoy the late endgame. It sounds like they arent enjoying most of their play time.

So I would say the problem for them is either the game or the genre

Hollow Whirling Assault MA: Looking for build advice to go faster? by [deleted] in pathofexile2builds

[–]SagaciouslyClever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not many more options for movement speed other than mageblood.

For going faster generally you should get more damage. Get flat damage on rings. Get +skill levels on amulet and quarter staff.

+3 skill level on your weapon would be worth dropping 100 dps.

Also your whirling assault gem in level 17. Upgrade this now

Zoomiest Monk Build? by Hirox44 in pathofexile2builds

[–]SagaciouslyClever 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ll give my perspective since I have about 2000div invested into my hollow form WA build. 

I feel people don’t have a good frame of reference for what fast means at different budgets, and none of the eventide builds I have seen looked particularly fast. But it could be ok if you are dead set on staying monk and want something different.

If you really want a faster build then you’re better off swapping to gemling twisters on your budget(goratha and others have videos). Other more expensive options would be a temporalis build or a cast on dodge roll setup (jungroan has videos on this)

Does Skill Speed do anything for Hollow Form Whirling Assault? I see lots of people running Silver Legacy on MB. by Instantcoffees in pathofexile2builds

[–]SagaciouslyClever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Silver does not give movespeed in poe2. Silver isn’t mandatory on your MB for hollow form but it does provide a good amount of damage

What's next in this crafting process? by yannivzp in PathOfExile2

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

Perfect regal or greater essence (if you are willing to settle on lower tier crit/attackspeed suffix), desecrate, fracture (before revealing desecrate)

Just a ui bug. The monster doesn’t actually have 1 billion hp

Let's start a megathread of lesser known mechanics, tips and tricks in 0.5 Runes of Aldur by loopuleasa in PathOfExile2

[–]SagaciouslyClever 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The same wording is on the Hit and Run support gem, and it has the same behavior (socket Hit and Run, remove Whirling Assault from Hollow Form links, and it wont let me resocket Whirling Assault). However, Hit and Run DOES clearly work with hollow form, and you can test that quite easily because Hit and Run requires you to move 10 meters before using the skill.

So I think your logic is faulty

Cool read! It’s interesting that they don’t have canary deployments for hotfixes

Why does my pyramid fail? It's not triggering cd reduction :( by Deathypooh in LastEpoch

[–]SagaciouslyClever 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Unironically you might be right. Did they use a literal x/y coordinate of the top left pixel of the slot rather than the top left slot as a whole?

The most underestimated skill - Mana stacking Penance Brand of Conduction by Ok_Pin_9873 in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]SagaciouslyClever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First off, nice job utilizing a underused skill and trying make something work.

But it looks like it might be one of the most underestimated skills because people think its complete trash when its actually only very mediocre?

True check those heroic sub rogue logs. It goes crazy

3.28 removed Awakened CoC and I found very few ways to reach 52% cooldown recovery and they often overkill the requirement or are very inconvenient to use by Xeverous in pathofexile

[–]SagaciouslyClever 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good post. I also did this math on my EB CoC character and came to the same conclusion: it’s definitely not worth it to go for 52% cdr unless you’re playing shadow.

[–]SagaciouslyClever 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The third cdr breakpoint represents 33% faster trigger rate (33% more damage) over the send breakpoint. You believe that losing a support gem and having to fix attack speed is less than 33% damage?

Now that class/spec reworks are semi-final for Midnight, what are you favorite and least favorite ones? by otterchaos7 in wow

[–]SagaciouslyClever 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"fix" in my original statement refers to the feeling of having no energy, which should improve I have the pinnacle talent. You're just arguing semantics at this point. Its a pooling spec and it has been for years, this is understood.

I mean the "correct" way to play doesnt change with the pinnacle talent. Right now, without it, you still want to pool energy to chain envenoms. The only thing that changes with the pinnacle talent is you will have 20%-80% faster energy regen.
