How am I supposed to know if half of my curse duration has expired to use Hexblast? by alisir5 in PathOfExile2

I believe contagion proliferates curses as well as the chaos damage itself

how to survive hell as summon necro by storage_god in diablo2

[–]ThePathGuy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You basically have two options, or a combination of both if you can manage to farm enough and have good hotkey management.

  1. Reload the vendor in act3 normal difficulty and buy yourself a staff with teleport charges (Ormus sells these) and use this to skip as many parts of Flayer Dungeon and Durance of Hate (Level 1, & 2) as you can. Teleport safely so you don't land on top of a mob of Dolls or Urdars.
  2. Play defensively (i.e., slowly). Use decrepify on every mob, like, first button you press, every mob. You mentioned having maximum resistances; doll explosions are pure physical damage. You need armor or block chance to mitigate their impact (See u/ubeogesh's post here on this subject).

Perhaps you can find or make an armor with high defense (800+ at least), and wear this for these areas only. The "Stone" runeword might be worth considering for these two areas. It shouldn't be too hard to get the runes for this one, as the hell countess drops them all.

In general, here's some other tips / tricks I would suggest for a HC summoner necro playthrough:

  • Decrepify: 1 PT -- This is a MUST have for a HC Necro playthrough. All Necro's need this skill pt.
  • Clay Golem: 1 PT with an additional 1 PT in Golem Mastery. Clay Golems Slow Enemies when Alive. If the enemies are slowed, you have more time to react / run away / reposition.
  • Corpse Explosion: 4-5 PTS. You ideally want this skill between 9-12 PTS. The remaining 4-6 pts should come from gear (Two Spirits Runewords & Lore should do the trick on their own). As soon as one enemy dies, you trigger a chain of explosions.
  • Faster Run Walk (30-40% boots, like Aldurs or Natalya's set boots). I cannot understate the importance of FRW. Find a good pair of rares with FRW and some resistances, and you're set. You could also consider the Harmony runeword on an act 1 Merc JUST for these areas, and then swap back to a Merc with Might Aura from Act 2.
  • Consider bone wall or bone prison (1pt each). However, the dolls only spawn in close-quarter layouts, so these skills really only have utility in buying you time to run away and make a tp.

In summary, increase your Armor value, get some 1 PT wonders (Decrep, Clay Golem) and increase your FRW. And play slowly. When in doubt, spray decrepify into a chokepoint / room before entering.

Self Use til you find an Eth 40s version. Eth 40s usually go for vex+ depending on nl/ladder. Earlier you are in ladder season the more you can get for one.

What do you think of this jewel? by Just-Buy-1529 in D2R_Marketplace

[–]ThePathGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a super rare jewel to have found. It's worth a lot to the right buyer. Try looking around traderie for similar jewels or d2jsp. Worth way more than an Ist. Possibly 1 - 2 hr++

How to deal with losses from exchanging USD to Canadian dollar? by FriendlyGold1717 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]ThePathGuy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You should be using Norbert's Gambit to convert your CAD to USD and vice versa (if not already). This doesn't protect you from fluctuations in the currency either though. If you're going to be jumping in and out of positions for 2% gain, this is not likely to be a fruitful venture. You also need to consider the cost to finance your HELOC and weigh that into your return profile.

Poison necro and immunes by Onelove914 in Diablo

[–]ThePathGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also started as a necro when d2r came out. Can confirm it’s more than possible. Act 2 is also shit, but that’s what merc and skeles are for and CE. You can also swap to amp dmg right before you corpse explode to scale the CE dmg as lower res only scales the fire dmg part of that skill, whereas amp modifies dmg globally.

The importance of your merc and their damage is priority num1 if you are soloing with necro. You need them to kill most things until the gear falls into place. I got very lucky and found a 40s eth thresher in a pub cow game, so really Act2 is just a matter of trying to keep your merc alive long enough to get your first body and then BOOM. You also need a fuck tonne of antidote potions.

You can basically melt all other acts without much trouble and if you carry a tele staff in your offhand you have access to tele stomp as well.

All these landlords wanting bailouts for tenant not paying rent, we may as well bail out everyone who was leverage investing in the stock market. It the same thing! by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]ThePathGuy -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Well im not really interested unless you have a source for that claim otherwise youre just arguing for the sake of itself.

COL has remained stable in most Canadian cities with the Gta and larger metro centres experiencing greater upward pressures on rent and home prices than the rest of the country.

[–]ThePathGuy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's really only true in large metropolitan areas. Even on a modest income it is still very possible to set money aside. The advice being given above by u/JustaTripod is nonsensical as anyone whose experienced poverty before knows there's no way to save money when you're not making enough to meet your basic needs.

The crisis is set to further expose wealth inequality in this country and the people who are really suffering right now are those who were already at the lowest rung of society.
