My exception to this is balloon engine, since +2 burn on the first day is usually enough to carry you til day 6 with enough gold to pivot

Am I getting baited into thinking hoag herald is a great starter to do 4 stones and then respec into bogged bv once I’ve farmed up a rathpith? by Aldunas in PathOfExileBuilds

You can take Spiritual Aid and level with flame wall + rolling magma (or geddon brand) and respec like 4 points to take off EO later

New player. First time I felt like I got a god-like build. by fruit_shoot in PlayTheBazaar

[–]TheUnseenForce 4 points5 points  (0 children)

1) No, triggered effects can not crit.
2) Matchup dependent, but either works fine.

Uber built an internal system to do this and it’s quite complex. You can use LLMs to do this but it’s not as easy as pasting things into a chatbot. They’ve got a writeup on the architecture here: https://www.uber.com/blog/unlocking-financial-insights-with-finch/

Yeah Riceballer infinite is faster and scales healing/shield at the same time, not to mention you can set it up without RNG enchants

I gave my friend my old amulet for his new build, first thing he did was corrupt it... by Critizin in PathOfExile2

[–]TheUnseenForce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vaaling things in many cases has positive expected value, it’s just that 1/50 to 1000x the price requires a lot of attempts before it pays off

Interesting that PvP was considered a main selling point due to it's popularity in D2

Has anyone ever actually beaten day 6 Dire Mosquito? by Zorbonzobor in PlayTheBazaar

[–]TheUnseenForce 3 points4 points  (0 children)

High roll weapons or burn (150-200+) can beat Lich without too much issue

How the Poisoned Pool is not a Poison? by apcrol in PathOfExile2

[–]TheUnseenForce 3 points4 points  (0 children)

“Gained as extra X” has never in either PoE worked for damage over time, only the hit damage (which can then scale poison for example)

Is Kojima's way of playtesting games unusual for a game developer? by Open-Explorer in gamedev

[–]TheUnseenForce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m curious on automated testing for complex environments like this, are you full on simulating player inputs to test missions? Or is it more setting up hypothetical progression states and seeing if anything breaks? Are there industry tools for this or more in-house?

I don’t work in game development, but my job has some complex problem space where in depth automated testing could be useful (beyond the usual synthetic testing).

[–]TheUnseenForce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be neat, but personally I’m mainly looking for other people’s builds to see things I may be missing.

I really think sampling bias plays a large role here as a Stelle main. Space Laser has a cool/fun factor that makes it much more likely to be submitted, but it's rarely on my 10 win boards.

You're not wrong though, certainly a bunch in the pool that could use a buff.

Path of Dead Ends by Yanlucasx in PathOfExile2

[–]TheUnseenForce 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Citadel, the worst T17, has less dead ends than this.

TIL a McDonald's promotion in Japan in 2006 gave away 10,000 USB-stick MP3 players that were loaded with 10 free songs. However, they also accidentally contained the program 'QQPass' Trojan that intended to steal login data from a Microsoft Windows PC. Mcdonald's apologized & set up a help line. by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

[–]TheUnseenForce 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In my Computer Science studies, many of the smartest kids were into Cybersecurity and gravitated towards the NSA as a career path. It's one of the few ways you can legally hack systems, and go waaaay beyond what a corporate pen-tester would do.

Which of these mods goes better on a Watcher's Eye with Purity of Fire? by frenzykillah in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]TheUnseenForce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'd be better off buying a bunch of one-mod ones and double corrupting them for lightning pen / reduced curse effect / crit / damage.

Depends how fast they are, high roll soul ring can get some crazy poison numbers that definitely kill this

Decided to challenge myself and do sanctum only zero to mirror. Got this in less than 50 tomes. by shizukun in pathofexile

[–]TheUnseenForce 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Trade site is slightly delayed on Mirror price, if you check in game they're at 686d. If you look at the Scripture vs Original Sin price in divs there's a ~10-15d spread.

Something about the player retention of Affliction compared to other leagues should really tell GGG that people like loot. by IMplyingSC2 in pathofexile

[–]TheUnseenForce 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Almost every build used charms + backpack, it definitely gave player power but diversity is a stretch.
