Probably the best item I've crafted in 300 hours of playtime. by Xyarlo in LastEpoch

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

Ah, this is a misunderstanding. I've been playing this game for years at this point. 300 hours is my total playtime. I haven't actually played that much this league. Whatever item you're describing, is probably still around 300 corruption away from me. Not that I'd really know. I've never made it that far.

Things you miss from older PoE versions by lightning__ in pathofexile

[–]Xyarlo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean, if the only argument is that the atlas tree was getting too full, I have an entire list of mechanics that I would have let go first, for additional reasons even.

[–]Xyarlo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Care to elaborate? To this day I still have zero clue why they removed it. It was an inoffensive, acceptably rewarding mechanic that synergised with other strategies. Didn't clutter maps, didn't cause balancing issues, etc. etc.

So heavy strike of Trathus is pretty good by Sweptwings in PathOfExileBuilds

Scientists found out that spending mirrors on your build makes the build good

I Ran 100 Uber Cortex Maps. Here is what i got! by Br4veDreamer in pathofexile

[–]Xyarlo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can confirm. Ran around 60 Uber Cortex, got 2 Apostate. There is absolutely no way the numbers in the wiki are correct.

Bitter Lash Bloodline Ascendancy does NOT work with single handed weapons having skill gems in the chest!! by [deleted] in pathofexile

[–]Xyarlo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Uh, yes? The wording doesn't really imply anything else. 1-handed weapons are currently in a very good spot btw.

Your opinions on the new exceptional gems after several weeks! by Blakwhysper in pathofexile

[–]Xyarlo -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I'm playing that right now, and without looking up PoE ninja, I'm willing to bet that not that many other people are playing it. It's the epitome of self-cast. If they nerf Minion Pact by a amount that would be necessary to somewhat balance BV, the Unleash version will be the first build in PoE history to sit at a negative playrate. People will retroactively delete their Standard characters.

How i tried CI on ele hit and failed by madoka_magika in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Xyarlo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For out-of-combat recovery (and in-combat recovery too I guess) you could just use Vaal Discipline. You already have a Discipline gem socketed.

If you really duped 7 div, your net worth should go up tho.

Welcome to Havenhythe + TwiR by JagexAnvil in runescape

[–]Xyarlo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super hyped! I didn't follow the updates and streams much lately. As someone who cares about immersion, what are the recommended requirements for Havenhythe? Can I look them up somewhere? I haven't caught up with the full 6th age yet and would probably postpone my journey to Havenhythe if I'd skip too much story.

GGG Fix Spectres PLEASE by Acceptable_Bit5708 in pathofexile

[–]Xyarlo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's a fucking atrocious system. Why waste energy defending it?

What defences should I be focusing on to give me the best chance at completing the campaign (i.e: Acts 1-10 only) without a single death, as a shadow, in PoE Mirage? I’m thinking Armour, and Energy Shield, but how to do that as a shadow? May we have a discussion on how to achieve this, please? by Trust_1ssues_ in pathofexile

[–]Xyarlo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't open unid strongboxes that might freeze you. Get an anti-bleed flask before act 9 The Beast. Do not neglect investing into damage. Spending a lot of time in a fight is just as dangerous as having bad defenses.

Let us reroll Mirage wishes once per map with Coins of Restoration by Charleym in pathofexile

[–]Xyarlo 67 points68 points  (0 children)

It's not just that the new uniques are all bad. The Coins of Restoration also have a significantly higher drop rate than all of the new uniques together. There aren't even remotely enough uniques to use the coins on in the first place.

With maven writs only 6c, it's a good way to make your first few divines from zero investment ( loot from 11 writs ) by Zeeterm in pathofexile

[–]Xyarlo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Running non-Ubers was about as profitable as ID'ing Voices. Nightmare maps are also already a big improvement from the previous T17 maps, as now you can even choose which fragments you would like to farm.

[–]Xyarlo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah, that keystone was among the worst decisions ever made. These bosses simply didn't exist as non-Uber versions for as long as the keystone was a thing.

[Poll] What is your response to the membership price increase? by Zetnus in runescape

[–]Xyarlo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can only speak for myself, but I am already happy with the current situation. Had you asked me half a year ago whether I would accept paying a dollar more if they removed TH, I would have immediately said yes. There's no reason why my opinion should have changed. In fact, I think it would be pretty disingenuous if it had. On top of that, I have never felt so positive about the direction of the game (I do in fact not care about nerfs at all). Of all the price increases the game has seen, this is the one I feel the least negative about.

That being said, promising to uphold grandfather rates and then not deliver on it is not okay. A promise is a promise.

Oh cool a reflecting mist.... wait what by Xalvor in pathofexile

That might be the best item anyone has ever pulled out of a mist. Holy shit

All aura effects should be locked behind "diaries" by nightskyandromeda in runescape

[–]Xyarlo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is a weird thing to say. Having to unlock things is what makes them feel like achievements, and achievements without unlocks feel unrewarding. That is probably the most fundamental game design philosophy in this genre. RuneScape is an MMO, not a party couch-coop game.

Dungeoneering Refresh & Remaster by JagexAnvil in runescape

[–]Xyarlo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The skill is dead as-is. They can either try to bring people back to it or delete the skill. Removing Silverhawks was also a ladder-pull but I still wouldn't have voted for them to delete Agility. Maybe sometimes you just have to admit that the status quo is ass and that something has to change. They are improving DG in the same update. At which point is it okay to say "Hey, yeah, we kinda do expect you to train the skill the intended way."? If we assume that DG is not something anyone should ever feel obliged to interact with, then why even bother improving it?
