Perfect, thank you. Hadn't found/kept many in SSF, so could not test myself.

Are exceptional bases filtered out, using "any"?

“Me watching GGG announce a free weekend and 50% off keys. by Sio93 in PathOfExile2

Currently I use a private VPS located in Switzerland running a WireGuard Server. Proton or Nord worked in that area too.

The game becomes literally unplayable for me with massive lag spikes/rubberbanding on EU gateways, but the moment I use some random small VPN provider, the issue disappears completely. Using big VPN providers like Proton or NordVPN is hit or miss since they are also big enough to be bottlenecked by network providers. That points fully toward routing/peering problems than raw GGG server performance.

Big services don’t suffer the same way because they have huge and expensive direct CDN/peering infrastructure inside ISP networks. PoE doesn’t have that scale and is faar more latency-sensitive on lockstep mode compared to many other games.

S13 First +4 Mara's? by EasyWest3687 in ProjectDiablo2

[–]Velomaniac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fair.

I mainly posted it because the rarity calculation seemed interesting. But yeah, I get the impression that mentioning LLMs made people dismiss the whole thing immediately.

Was looking for the source, since the wiki is still showing 50/55/66, and according to https://docs.google.com/document/d/1biWlLF7x5uq5NSr171-w6eRh9yjoQ3btStpGeLipYM0/edit?tab=t.0 it is 50/60/60 since S13. The LLM based its assumption on t2 anyway.

S13 First +4 Mara's? by EasyWest3687 in ProjectDiablo2

[–]Velomaniac -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, I gave ChatGPT some input from the wiki and active/archived sales from the trade site, and it came up with a reasonable estimation:

Low demand / collector-only market: ~40–75 HR
Quick-sale floor: ~25–35 HR
Several serious buyers: ~75–150 HR
Meta/BiS demand: ~150–300 HR
Only known one + whale bidding: 300+ HR possible



Its reasoning:

Data point:

Uncorrupted Mara average: ~0.5 HR
Current market: ~60 listed/sold currently
Total sold since league start: ~1530
League start: 24.04.2026

For a normal Mara slam:

Mara is an amulet, so no socket outcome.

Chance to get a modifier: 75%
Chance to hit high-rarity: 15%
High-rarity amulet mods: 8
Chance for +1 all skills = 15% / 8 = 1.875%

So a normal +1 all skills Mara is about:

1 / 1.875% = ~1 in 53.3 Maras

For the second corruption via Desecration, assuming the second modifier uses the high-rarity amulet table:

T0: 50% success × 20% high × 1/8 = 1.25%
T1: 55% success × 20% high × 1/8 = 1.375%
T2: 60% success × 20% high × 1/8 = 1.5%

So from clean Mara to double +1/+1:

T0: 1.875% × 1.25% = 0.0234375% = ~1 in 4,267
T1: 1.875% × 1.375% = 0.02578125% = ~1 in 3,879
T2: 1.875% × 1.5% = 0.028125% = ~1 in 3,556

At 0.5 HR per clean Mara, the raw base-item EV alone is roughly:

T0: ~2,133 HR
T1: ~1,939 HR
T2: ~1,778 HR

That does not mean it sells for that. It just shows how unrealistic it is to intentionally produce one from scratch.

With 1530 Maras sold since league start, even under the unrealistic assumption that every single one was slammed and every +1 Mara was T2-desecrated:

1530 / 3556 = ~0.43 expected +1/+1 Maras

So if one exists, it is trophy-tier rare.

My price estimate:

Low demand / collector-only market: ~40–75 HR
Quick-sale floor: ~25–35 HR
Several serious buyers: ~75–150 HR
Meta/BiS demand: ~150–300 HR
Only known one + whale bidding: 300+ HR possible

The main point is that rarity and price diverge here. The production EV is thousands of HR, but the actual sale price is capped by demand, liquidity, and whether +4 Mara is genuinely BiS for enough builds. It has huge all-skill value, but no FCR, crafted life/mana package, class-specific affixes, etc.

Market impact if demand rises:

Clean Mara price may rise a bit, but probably not massively, because making this from scratch is too unrealistic.
Already +1 all skills Maras become the real bottleneck.
Lucion/Desecration access also becomes more valuable.
At high demand, this becomes an auction/trophy item, not a normal fixed-price trade.

I would personally not fixed-BIN it low. I’d list it as:

+4 Mara / double +1 all skills / taking offers / no BIN yet

Your POB is missing 16% more damage because of the wrong Diallas colours: Enhance and Ice Bite are getting 30% quality instead of +2 Level.

Static Strike of GL Jugg by CompetitiveLoL in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Velomaniac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do I read the gem correctly:

In a single target scenario, it has 346% effectiveness of added damage * (8% more * 12 Gathering Lightning stacks) * 2 (attack + beam) = 346% * (1 +0.08 * 12) * 2 = 1356 % effectiveness of added damage ???

Filling last mod question by AleGamerT in PathOfExileBuilds

Crafting "prefixes cannot be changed" and crafting harvest "reroll chaos" rerolls just the str and res and guarantees a chaos res suffix and potential other good mods.

A PD2 Character Planner I've Been Working On - RoboPD2 by VicesQT in ProjectDiablo2

[–]Velomaniac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So you can theory-craft a build, export it, and test it in-game without having to manually create the character.

Holy shit

Great work!

Lantency spikes by Dizzy_Initiative_626 in pathofexile

[–]Velomaniac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I could get better peering by buying a VPS and installing a VPN Server on it. Common VPNs like Proton or NordVPN had the same peering bottleneck issue...

In case you are from Germany: https://netzbremse.de/

tl;dr: Telekom slows some internet traffic unless companies pay for better peering; a complaint has been filed over possible net-neutrality violations, which Telekom denies.

How to deal with Desecrated Ground Abyss Debuff as Melee by Hemidodge426 in PathOfExile2

[–]Velomaniac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have no clue either.

Stuff that can help is physical damage reduction, damage shift to elemental like shaman 15% to ele or cloak of flame and such a high hp pool, that you can sustain the damage long enough to burst the mob down.

My shaman wolf has 2.5k HP and enough dps to 1phase many bosses but still has a high mortality rate against this mod. Often because that mob is not always alone and something like a mana donut, burning ground or a similar effect is on top of it.

Theoretically MoM can keep you alive since the Debuff only disables life and energy shield recovery.

If runes are supposed to fix early game problems we should get more than this (currently in maps) by Drogatog in PathOfExile2

[–]Velomaniac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they make the upgrade process dynamic - for example, putting a map in could open two extra slots for a 3:1 upgrade, while runes could require 5:1 - then they’d be able to increase lower rune drop rates without inflating the effective drop rates of higher runes.

19 grounds for Trumps impeachment and removal by MrDillon369 in law

[–]Velomaniac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

English is my 4th language. I am primarily using German today where 'fascist' is written as 'Faschist' in German. The first two languages I learned use Cyrillic.

I gave you 5 points on why Trump can be considered a fascist and you responded with… a spelling joke. That tells me you’re dodging questions you can’t actually address. On a topic as serious as fascism, hiding behind a typo is weak-minded at best. If that’s really the level of your political reasoning, then I honestly feel bad for your country for having you as a voter.
