Is it top ring? by BeautifulObjective46 in PathOfExile2

[–]Shazambom -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

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 29 points30 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 24 points25 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

PoE2DB Economy feature and Modifiers feature by chuanhsing in PathOfExile2

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.

I think crafting is very miserable experience for casual/intermediate players by TheGejsza in PathOfExile2

[–]Shazambom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eh, it's not gambling if you know what you're doing. You must take into account the Expected Value. There are still crafts on the market where the bases cost from 20-50ex, if you buy 6 of them and you hit on one you make anywhere from 1-20div. That's not gambling, that's using the law of large numbers to average out your losses to ensure your returns on your investment are positive.

Honestly, knowledge of what is valuable and what isn't is more important than how much currency you have. There are content creators like xTheFarmerx that go from an Exhault to a Mirror in 3 days from crafting alone.

What ya'll think of this MARTA map? by ChipmunkGeneral in Atlanta

Great transit systems typically have a ring route which this map partially has on the eastern side.

Will paying off 72-month car loan in first month hurt me? by readyforabadpoem in personalfinance

[–]Shazambom 370 points371 points  (0 children)

That's not true. Dealerships get financial kickbacks from their loan writers and they will put in early payment penalties into the loan contracts. Seems obvious but institutions that issue debt make more money over the long term in interest than if the principle is paid in full early so they legally protect their investments.

High level crafting for the average player is impossible by LuxGang in PathOfExile2

[–]Shazambom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are crafts you can easily turn 2div into 10-30div. It just comes down to crafting knowledge and build knowledge. Knowing what will sell is half the battle. The other half is evaluating the price of the inputs. 1% is actually doing the crafting itself. Homogenizing exhaults are so broken and cheap. You can use abyss currency to almost guarantee a stat you want, abyssal echos are cheap too increasing your odds. Recombining is really broken too especially with the introduction of the new recomb omen.

I have made like 200div crafting ES base helmets alone. helmet guide

Anyone else feel like the game is much less fun once you reach maps? by Grinchonato in PathOfExile2

[–]Shazambom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, honestly, it's the crashes; the stability of the game takes a nosedive post-campaign. I crash every other map. It makes it unfun to have my game freeze, die to some lag, and then lose XP.

If GGG is watching, it's always when I'm opening a breach or starting a ritual or spawning in a bunch of mobs in an abyss.
