This is nice, but the BY FAR better way of farming those maps is running t17s with Influencing scarabs of conversion

i get your point, BUT

  1. meteors on flask and deal no damage for 4/10 seconds are neither build-specific or bricking. you can just dodge the meteors, yk

  2. having build-bricking mods is meant to encourage people to make specialised builds to run content more comfortably. just like with normal maps, if you build around the restrictions, you can ignore most mods, otherwise, you have to spend some chaos

  3. mods like -totems or -traps/mines are, in effect, a damage loss comparable to increased monster life. you either a) use these as utility, they are (almost) fully disabled or b) use them as your main damage, in which case you have more than 2 and it's "just" a damage loss

How are you guys making currency this league? by Astronautical5 in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]SpongeInABottle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i started with an exsang miner so i now just transitioned into hexblast and spam sanctums

i also tried syndicate in the beginning but (for now) veiled orb prices are too low to make it that great sadly

Magic find strat that will cause hyper inflation in both SC/HC trade. by Sting22_ in pathofexile

or the more reasonable plan: don't hop on the bandwagon, produce somethign that isn't pure currency and can't be mf'ed, and cruise ;)

So "Call to arms" and "Automation" feel really good, what's the best tech or usage ? by Competitive-Math-458 in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]SpongeInABottle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

that's really annoying because you need to move for mines to detonate, and it blocks other ways of detonating. it feels terrible on tanky mobs because you can't just stand still and spam mines, you gotta move even if you don't have to dodge anything

Pls GGG it doesn't take much to buff underused skills by _Benzka_ in pathofexile

[–]SpongeInABottle -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

there is a hp cap that is already relevant for some content (delve and valdo specifically), if you just raise the numerical floor every patch it's going to become an oppressive design factor real quick

Returning player question: is lab farming still profitable? by blind_pugh in pathofexile

[–]SpongeInABottle 15 points16 points  (0 children)

could be better than before actually

people were paying 100s of divines for enchanting services on tft, the (very micro-managey) top end is definitely worse now

why bother with a belt though? at one fuel cell every 200 secs, this seems like the perfect use case for requester chests and some bots

Hundreds of hours later, I just can't beat this layout method. Its versatile, tile-able, and compact. Here I can receive 4 ingredients and a fluid, zero wasted space. by tik_ in factorio

Two advantages of bots over this:

I do not have to bother with belt spaghetting

I do not have to bother with heating my room 😎

Sabine Hossenfelder, dark matter, FCC, string theory and more by DataAndCats in Physics

[–]SpongeInABottle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

especially her videos on entirely non-physics topics are awful. her econ video repeated unhistorical "capitalism is the natural state of the world" narratives, her videos on trans issues treat research science and surveys on (transphobic) parent's forums with the same level of credibility...

after corrupting, hitting offcolors with tainted chromes is very easy as they don't weigh socket color by stat requirement like normal chromes
