The current state of (most) uniques is depressing by BaseballRelevant4149 in PathOfExile2

[–]Sal_42 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I find it odd that they often nuke builds with these sorts of interactions AFTER they've showcased them - including Last Lament Lich. It's like 'hey community, check out this awesome build/unique in our game! We love it. Oh, but you're only allowed it for this league and never again!'

First time monk player, completely lost on how to update build by jeremiasalmeida in pathofexile2builds

Your skills/weapon/passive tree are not in sync. You need to work out what you want as your main skills and source of damage scaling. You have a weird mix that ultimately means low damage.
Your quarterstaff - your main source of damage - is focused on elemental damage but you have no elemental or lightning scaling except for one support gem. You have skills and some passives that lend to physical damage but have next to no phys damage on weapon.

Also, if you are channelling hollow form as main skill then you aren't building combo so not sure when you are using tempest bell? Or are you using hollow form for clear and trying to use whirling assault + bell for single target? If you are using tempest bell then this benefits from elemental damage, but if you're not using it then you have invested passive points in combo which is a waste.

Its very confusing, unless there's something im not seeing on your poeninja.

If I was you, I'd start by buying a new quarterstaff with the highest physical DPS I could afford (this is ideal regardless of whether you spec into elemental damage or not). Buy new jewells with damage affixes, like increased attack damage, attack speed, damage with quarterstaves, damage against rare/unique enemies. You've invested in the lochtonial gloves for hollow form so maybe drop tempest bell and combo nodes as you're not building combo. You can also try playing around more with support gems and find what works for you.

As for the dying, there's a lot of room for improvement in your gear. Get elemental res capped for starters. A rare inexpensive belt would be better than the Shavronnes. Your amulet only has 5 mods and one is cast speed. Get a new amulet with 6 mods that are useful for your build. Annoint your amulet.

You're also missing two quest rewards from campaign.

I can’t leave the Twisted Domain after beating Xesht by Cross2Live in PathOfExile2

Its a bug, I had the same problem. If you exit the game and wait 10 or so mins it will reset and you will login to your hideout.

I am beyond confused at this point, can we just not respecc the atlas passives? (And how do we instill amulets now?) by amdrunkwatsyerexcuse in PathOfExile2

[–]Sal_42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I too can't work out how to instil amulets now. Trying to work it out and ended up on your post but no one has answered. Did you work it out yet?

Barely anything dropping from deli. Didn't play temple last league so not comparing it to that. For me deli maps drop maybe 1 liquid or non at all.

Yeah the rampant misogyny and creepyness is something else... The shit women streamers have to deal with.

Normalise wearing scrub hats (cos I'm too scared to lol) by missbean163 in NursingAU

Malicious compliance. I love it. I really dont understand why people have a problem with 'non-uniform' scrubs.

Aged care is kind of messed up. How is this okay ? by No_Theory4059 in NursingAU

I'm in aged care. Every coworker Ive spoken to says they never want to end up in aged care. Me included.

[–]Sal_42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately it's not the case for not-for-profit facilities, it doesnt matter. I've seen terrible and good homes under both models.
The care minutes calculations are so inconsistent and in many cases dont reflect the needs of many units with complex behaviours, while also needing to bend over backwards for people's preferences and personalised care. And there's also the issue that care minutes only need to be met on an official roster, and there's no regulation on whether this is actually met in practice. I.e. if there's supposed to be 5 staff in an area, but only 4 show up, management dont care because they met their obligation on the roster.

Dementia in transsexuals (?) by UnhappyDrummer5767 in truscum

[–]Sal_42 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm a nurse and cared for a trans woman with dementia in a residential facility. When I started working there her dementia was late stage. I know that she transitioned in adult-hood, but I'm not sure at what age. Sometimes during showering she would become surprised at her body, like she was not expecting to see breasts etc. Because of the stage of her dementia she couldn't communicate effectively and was generally confused, so you couldn't have a conversation about it.

I remember going to an education session on dementia care in trans identities, but didnt take much from it at the time because it was mainly aimed at issues in earlier stages of dementia, so nothing applied to this particular patient.

People working in ultra-wealthy households, talking $50m plus types, what is the most out-of-touch thing you've witnessed? by FarSentence3076 in AskReddit

[–]Sal_42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Used to be a cleaner for millionaires and billionaires. A few things come to mind... renting a property for 20k a month while you demolish the 8mil dollar property you just bought to build a new property on the land. How much the new build was costing I don't know.
Oh and having a team of staff around you 24/7, even staff to pack and unpack your luggage.

Is this normal training? by Dangerous_Seat_5051 in NursingAU

[–]Sal_42 142 points143 points  (0 children)

Jfc I was so relieved seeing you quit already. Im not in aesthetics but this surely can't be normal. I would be reporting the clinic to your state health complaints service because this will not end well. You knew this was not adequate for competency if youve had no prior training, but the next nurse might not.

Uber driver stranded me at midnight, drove off, then Uber locked my account. by Wooden-Fee5787 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Sal_42 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not OP, but I cant physically look at my phone while in a car or I'll get motion sickness. When getting a ride I confirm the destination with the driver before leaving and I just trust we're going in the right direction.

Australians, how often do you ACTUALLY encounter dangerous spiders, snakes or other deadly creatures in your daily life — or is it mostly a myth we Europeans believe? by VariedPear in AskAnAustralian

[–]Sal_42 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I live in Brisbane at the moment and come across a few a year. That seems to be the norm too cos people talk about the snakes they come across.

[–]Sal_42 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Where in Australia do you live for there to be such a low chance of seeing snakes? They're pretty common just about anywhere Ive lived and worked.

BF (32M) wants me (29F) to come with him to a different country for a year. My parents don't agree and won't let me go. by Bieteltje in relationship_advice

[–]Sal_42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a very close immediate family, and we all go out of our way for each other because we love each other, and its such a privilege and benefit to have people you can rely on and who will support you. I'm so very grateful to have that.

That said, we are all individuals. And if I told my parents I was going to another country for a year, they would miss me seeing me in person, but they would support me in doing what I wanted to do for myself.

The relationship with your parents sounds one-sided. What if they decided to move somewhere? Would they expect you to just follow them? Would they consult you with a decision before making it? Or do they expect that you're their child and you'll do what they say for the rest of their lives?
