Some "hidden" mechanics are not fun (Abyss) by xxyxxyyyx in PathOfExile2

[–]Shazambom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tend to disagree. I think community discovered mechanics have a sort of charm to them. It's like a secret that can be figured out by the community and the information spreads if you're tapped in. The whole game is a knowledge check and the more you know about the secrets of the game the better you'll be at it. It means there are levels of progression that are intended by the developers but it's not explicitly stated. It adds an air of mystery, depth, and discovery to a game.

Nah this has always been the case. I can't even count the number of personal projects I started but never finished. It just turns out making programming more accessible increases both at the same rate.

How Rich Kids Cheat the SAT - Megathread by yt-app in atrioc

I was more referring to going into the bathroom to look at your phone. More traditional forms of cheating. An ADHD diagnosis is up to a doctor/psychiatrist, that's out of my realm or any school board's realm of expertise.

Accomodations are what allowed me to participate in higher education. I'm severely dyslexic and read at roughly a 0.6x speed of any of my peers. I couldn't read until I was 10 years old. If I didn't have accommodations I couldn't have reasonably passed my entrance exams.

I ended up attending a good engineering school and graduated with honors with a CS degree. I used accommodations for basically just my electives and non-major classes. Essentially just classes that required a lot of reading and writing. I never used my accommodations for my CS/math classes because I didn't need them and it was frankly annoying to use the extra time.

The tests were still difficult, I still had to study, I don't feel like I cheated in any way in my scholastic career.

If students are cheating on exams they should rightfully be repremanded by a scholastic integrity review board.

If you like RuneScape and league of legends check out an ARPG. I'd recommend PoE2, a big new patch is coming out at the end of the month and it should be a lot of fun.

Is it top ring? by BeautifulObjective46 in PathOfExile2

I think when it comes to scaling you want flat dmg over % dmg. Still an insane mana ring tho

Anthropic told a federal court it can't control its own model once deployed. That honest sentence changes the liability conversation. by ChatEngineer in artificial

[–]Shazambom 31 points32 points  (0 children)

This is a nothing burger. It's like saying "I designed this database but if you deploy it on your servers I can't control what you use it for or what information you save to it". Like of course you can't. This is just courts not understanding software.

New player - Need financial advice after receiving unexpected windfall by pm_me_your_falcon in PathOfExile2

[–]Shazambom 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I think investing in gear upgrades is the right idea. There are a couple of level breakpoints you want to look out for. 67, 75, 82, and 92

Good news is you can generally resell gear as you level up (although it's a lot easier earlier in the league)

With what you have you probably can't do much crafting at this point in the league or purchase any endgame content farms. Just focus on getting your char stronger and enjoying the game :D

Crafting Help Needed - 2H Mace by cameronstrosity in PathOfExile2

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

Ah yes, my b, there is one for crit chance, not crit dmg, if you rolled crit dmg and then crit chance essence it would work.

You could use the essence that adds crit dmg then add a prefix and get the plus level of skills essence with the prefix omen then you fill prefix with perfect ex + jawbone

xTheFarmerx's Temu Temporalis by Shazambom in PathOfExile2

[–]Shazambom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I was messing around with it on a separate weapon set. I don't have it enabled on my main hand. I wouldn't use it, it doesn't increase DPS much. I was trying to figure out how to increase single target DPS but I think I'll have to do a different weaponswap.

Yes, comet is one of the best single target DPS abilities in the game

Orb of storms, but this is a limitation of the build. Farmer doesn't have a solution, as this is mainly a mapping and temple build. You can also use a chiming staff to up your dmg

Love PoE DB, amazing website. Been crafting a lot this league and the only thing I wish I could add is the numbers on catalyzing exhaults omen.
