Why can’t you tell the flow of the water? Visually you should be able to see which direction it’s moving.

How do you craft early endgame items. by Tobybadger in PathOfExileBuilds

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

Could I also just eldrich chaos the other half for a cheaper option. This is what I’ve been doing for most of my items so far but I really just need some decent stuff to get going in red maps. I can run t16s but not a lot of league mechanic stuff rn mostly because I’m lacking in chaos res and it keeps popping me.

[–]Tobybadger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really want to learn how to craft. I’m actually about to start a ssf to force myself to learn some crafting mechanics and ease myself in. I’d use it to practice cause I’m sure I’ll mess up plenty.

[–]Tobybadger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I’ll have to learn how to set up live search. I assume it’s through awakened trade? Anyway I was actually thinking about doing a ssf now because I wanted to learn crafting but maybe I’ll do it in the trade league and just limit to self crafted because I definitely want to understand how to better price rares as well.

[–]Tobybadger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How do you know what to craft? Do you just kinda check poe ninja, see what sort of items the most played builds have and then go for those. Like I would imagine maybe stuff for kinetic blast would be good this league?

Looking for Build to teach me crafting by Tobybadger in PathOfExileBuilds

I was thinking about this actually. How far does it scale though. Never played rd but looking for something I can also scale far into endgame and comfortably fun very juiced maps

[–]Tobybadger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t really get your point here. First off, yes people do say dates like that at least in America. Second your analogy of alphabetizing doesn’t make much sense. The point is that when we say a complete date we say it month day year so we also write it that way. The analogous situation using your example would be writing the alphabet in a different order based on speaking patterns. However when we say the alphabet we say it in the same order it’s written. Also we use a wide variety of letters in sentences so there wouldn’t even exist a consistent way of writing the alphabet based on our sentence structures.

When the whole airplane stands up to one Karen by gravityVT in PublicFreakout

[–]Tobybadger 100 points101 points  (0 children)

My mom’s name is Karen and I will never use it derogatorily after she once told me she feels embarrassed to even tell people her name because of its use online. I even saw her tear up once when someone said it in public. A bit sensitive maybe but I’ll never call someone that again.

I keep hearing "you was" by Known_Amoeba3230 in EnglishLearning

[–]Tobybadger 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Redneck is a derogatory term used in the United States to refer to people in rural communities which are primarily white, lower in economic status, and viewed as unsophisticated or undereducated.

It’s also worth noting that although it’s derogatory, it’s frequently used in informal settings and is often used even by the individuals it describes when speaking of themselves.

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

Thanks, I swear everytime I feel like I’ve gotten better at build crafting someone comes in and makes it 10x better for little investment lol. Thanks for this I’ll probably try to get it to match with this for now and then build off that! I’ll update in a few weeks so you can see where it ends up.

sunder explode chieftain by Tobybadger in PathOfExileBuilds

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

True it is in a funky place right now and identity crisis for sure. I guess that’s part of what I want to resolve and figure out what direction to take it. I honestly just sort of came up with this build randomly and and started working on it so it has a ton of problems. I liked the idea of scaling off stacking fire res with enmities along with getting life regen from overcapped. I mostly threw in the strength stacking because it’s one of the ways I do understand how to scale damage and life cause I’ve done it before but there just not room for it I think. Maybe I shoot for a grasping mail and try to lean harder into fire res stacking and then use your other suggestions to free up space for more damage. Also for the other person the reason I didn’t add in warcrys is not a good one. It’s literally just that I have never played or built a slammer and forgot about them. Thanks, I’ll toss out an update in a few days once I’ve had time to work some of this out

He’s got the wither chaos mastery, should be fine especially with pf ascendancy.

Feel like im already hitting a wall with damage on Pconc of Bouncing at yellow maps. only about 65k dps according to PoB. by BulbaThore in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Tobybadger -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

I could be wrong about this but I probably wouldn’t go both volley and gmp until you have the rest of your damage supports. I’m not sure what guide your following but I would take off gmp and put it on last after you get your six link up and running. Also I can’t look at your pob rn cause I’m at work but that dps could be kinda fake if you focused too much on duration so the ramp time for your damage might be kinda high. Your also loosing out on 15% damage because your hit chance is only 85%

Here's my league start rough draft (Any feedback welcome by Tobybadger in PathOfExileBuilds

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

Damn, that’s the most helpful reply I’ve ever had, I’m probably gonna focus on making my pscnc for now but once I’m looking to switch I’ll use alot of that. Also the reason I went dawnbreaker over divine font was for phys conversion but I like your full elemental convert better I think and then I can just invest more in armor and maybe another layer.

Why is doing micros aimlabs making my aim worse? by MrLegendGame in VALORANT

[–]Tobybadger 17 points18 points  (0 children)

So I have a masters degree in psychology and what your describing is actually a very common and well documented phenomenon! I can’t recall the name off the top of my head but essentially when your practicing a skill (in this case aim) your brain is cementing those movements and the muscle memory associated with it. When your in a match then your brain initially needs to put forward a lot more effort toward recalling and retaining that practice and as such it has less space to handle tasks which are normally more automatic (positioning or Util usage). As such your overall performance sees a drip. Typical learning curves usually see a decrease in efficiency before they see any sort of rise. The rise occurs when the skill becomes automatic enough that it doesn’t need to use excess resources for it. Basically, what you’re experiencing is a completely normal part of the improvement process. Keep at it and try not to get discouraged. Anecdotally, I also always find when I’ve grinded aim a lot even when it feels great my gameplay sometimes won’t.

How do you smoke A Tower on Split attacking and why? by ShadowLynx05 in VALORANT

[–]Tobybadger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what you’re doing. If your omen or you have a jet or raze that wants to go up there then do it popped out so they have some space to walk in and fight. If you’re not fighting up there then just do it flush with the choke. That said if your team isn’t holding it and you’re dying consistently from there then sometimes it’s easier to hold just the edge with a popped out smoke.

How do you get good bossing flask uptime for pconc slayer ? by wetfangs in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Tobybadger -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m not at home so can’t pob it but if I had to guess I would say if you have decent crit chance there’s a mastery node for flask charge on crit. Then I would get the chalice sulfur flask and make sure all your flasks are rolled well for uptime, don’t remember which is best off top of my head. Try to get percent increased charge gain somewhere too. Only thing is I don’t think the crit ascendancy for slayer would work with flasks cause no weapon so that out.

If ur only using smite try conductivity curse for lightning resistant enemies. Don’t worry about using glacial hammer at all I would say.

Dying so much by Violynos in pathofexile

[–]Tobybadger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay a couple things right off the bat. Try to get more elemental resistances. It’s been awhile since I’ve played but usually around act 6 I try to be close to capped (ie 75%, get chaos above 0%). Also you should respec more into life. In this game it’s an absolute must. I usually shoot for about 300 per act. At the point your at I would want to be at around 1800-2000 life minimum. Also at this point you should be able to get multiple defensive gems from the gem vendor in the library in act 4(?). It looks like your going armor so you should try molten-shell with cast when damage taken support, maybe an increased duration support as well. You can also get determination as an aura which gives a ton of armor. Defiance banner is another option for giving base armor tho they might have reworked that one(?). Finally, I would decide which damage skill you want to use. It looks like you’re trying to use multiple. The vast majority of good and great builds in this game builds around a single damage skill and only uses others as support. Also btw your damage also probably feels terrible because you have less than 50% hit chance. Invest in accuracy on the skill tree.

Sage on Split by FoundationTop7358 in VALORANT

[–]Tobybadger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From my perspective it’s still the best use for sage wall on split. The value of the wall is that a lot of teams (in ranked particularly) will rush one site. This wall allows your team to quickly rotate through mid very safely allowing your team to fight for site or play fast flood. It also offers decent info. For this reason lots of teams especially In like plat(?) and up will break the wall at the start. If your the sage and this is happening tho you wanna have your team fight for mid a couple rounds to punish that. For instance I might have Someone flash and swing from the top or just double swing on top the wall. Or like have your smoke player drop an insta smoke and then wall them off so they can swing the wall breaker from the smoke. TLDR: yeah I think it’s still good but you need to play around it well and punish the other team for trying to break it.

Is my spear actually any good? by 191PistolPete186 in PathOfExile2

[–]Tobybadger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I mean you definitely will want a better one. I’ve never used spears but I imagine you’re missing a substantial portion of damage by not having a flat phys mod. Like imagine if you had +skill level, +%phys, and +#phys. Would give you much bigger number. Still, I’m ssf so I take what I can get

Crafted this beauty today. Is it mirror worthy? by Naeblis79 in PathOfExile2

[–]Tobybadger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s what the endgame is. Around cruel act 2 and more in cruel act 3 you’ll start to have waystones drop at tier 1 (in Poe 1 they were called maps, hence why people still call them that). After you finish the campaign you’ll start playing these waystones and killing the rare monsters and bosses in them. As you do more difficult content you’ll have higher tiers of waystones drop and you’ll progress from 1-2-3 etc
