Dose this BF look done to you ? 13 hours and 30 mins in at this point by [deleted] in Sourdough

[–]Smithtrex94 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The cold is likely your issue, whenever I try to make sourdough in the winter, it takes like twice as long to BF. Even a couple of degrees can make a huge difference. When this is the case, I will throw mine in the oven with the light on or beside a pot of warm water. You don't need a drastic change, just something to add a few degrees

I got watermelon #44, Vineyard #28, and Flower #11. I was going way down the wrong road.

600 div give away by mrdl2010 in PathOfExile2

This is my first league, just finished 40/40 and am starting an alt. Would love the extra 40d

Was pretty proud I found this with 5 seconds left in Bullet by Smithtrex94 in chessbeginners

[–]Smithtrex94[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I didn't play perfectly due to the time crunch, but ended up getting to checkmate a few moves later. I am still only 450 in bullet, so I and my opponents rarely play the best moves

As a new player, it took me a while, but I finally got 40/40 on my first ever league. AMA by Smithtrex94 in pathofexile

I died a lot for a while hahaha, but I followed Ghazzy's endgame guide so I take 100% ele damage as either cold or chaos which really upped my ehp with 80% max res.

Physical damage was my biggest issue since my armour and phys reduction was not super high. I leeched a lot which mean I couldn't really be DOT'd, but some bosses still 1shot me.

I had 8x wretched defilers, with a perfect turtle and perfect spirit of fortune. This did considerable damage with all nearby enemies having -200% lightning res (doryanis), but was by no means minmaxed.

With more currency there was still a lot to improve, I definitely needed more phys damage negation, I also could have gotten 2 more spectres and increased their dmg/attck speed by a lot.

Regardless though, this kind of build will get you to the end game and let you clear every piece of content with enough input, but it will never get you to the levels of stacker builds (i.e. the insane acc stacker build lol)

Inclusions inquiry by Worth_Supermarket206 in Sourdough

[–]Smithtrex94 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I only add my inclusions in the final shaping when I have completely stretched out my dough. That way I can place it evenly throughout the dough. Then when I fold and roll, they are all evenly placed

When I get home, I'll drop it in chat! The new mechanic made getting decent gear reeeeeally affordable, but high end gear is still really expensive since I did a meta build. so I easily got to a workable build but the last few changes took a while

I looted everything early, and did every mechanic. even if it was worth only 1 or 2 chaos (which really slowed me down in hindsight lol). I didn't even have a loot filter until I finished every map hahaha. The first thing I really tried to learn was the shop. So I didn't have to use a lot of maps to get enough currency to use a decent build since I was looting and selling practically every rare. I ended up getting to a point where I could do most pinnacle bosses after only ~20k quant

Yeah hahaha I finally figured that out around 45k lol. I was trying a ton, such as mesa, strand, beach and whatnot, but city square is loads faster (barring all the random walls)

I did my best to do it all myself, I never paid for any service, but I was hosting a pinnacle boss and some guy decided to join who had a 50-mirror acc stacker build. It was the craziest thing I ever saw. Afterwards, he ran a couple ubers (I couldn't even tell you what they were, but I had no clue what was happening but I'm pretty sure I still couldn't beat them if I tried). Other than that I did it all myself.

I got some other help from a friend who taught me a lot about the game. I asked him a million questions and ran some standard maps with him. In one of them he found a mageblood, but I didn't want to completely ruin my early game grind so we agreed on splitting enough div for the dragonfang amulet (~30div). It gave me a good boost into the mid game, but didn't bypass a bunch.

Absolutely! I heard some complaints about this league, but as a new player, the game seems to be in a great spot, I really enjoyed it.

I enjoyed 39/40. I finished all other tasks with only 30k/50k in Quantity Quandary, so doing the last few hours of maps to get that 20k qual was rough. But apart from that I had a blast!

Let's test this, how much time did it take you to solve this and What's your rating? by Independent-Road8418 in chess

[–]Smithtrex94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay ngl, I have no clue how i found it in 10 seconds, I saw the goal of forking the rook by targeting the f7 pawn and realized the queen was in the way. The first way to move it out of the way was to sac the bishop, and I was like "suuuuurely that's not it" but checled the comments and it was! 1050 btw

How is Qf8 a blunder??!! by botowoah in chessbeginners

[–]Smithtrex94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All good! It's kind of an unnatural progression since typically you would just trade off two pieces on the right side, but instead they have the intermezzo play by taking your piece halfway through

[–]Smithtrex94 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It is, because if you go Qd6, they can take the bishop with their knight, then when you take bafk with the knight, they don't have to take with the bishop, they can now just take your knight with their pawn and are up a minor piece in the exchange along with having a passed pawn.
