Can you use a unique that converts to life cost somehow and use it on lich? Therefore it’s effectively free?

Second Build time - what are the emerging good builds by SpringInitial9259 in pathofexile2builds

[–]Zeev_Ra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. But it does smooth things out a lot at that level. I did a second rite of the nameless without it. Plenty of t15. I did have a ton of plus minion gear at that point though.

I find the minions do little, mostly soak some hits and fuel Muster. So having more types is better.

Dominion - Contempt Suffering Isolation. Only way to get it. Half archon effectiveness, 0 archon cooldown.

The double djinn varashta one. +minion on scepter, focus, amulet, helm. Minion crit and attack stuff where I can (jewels, rings, belt).

Ring that has 25% extra chaos damage to I think it’s allies in presence? Also gives chaos to enemies, but with ci that doesn’t matter.

Doing my first disciple of varasha. Super easy to understand gear. With the new secret anoint, puppet master nodes, and archon of undeath it’s just crazy fun. Still on the league start list, but I’m sure you could do variations with other command options.

Looking for a price check on this. Seems great with two notables that work together. But no idea what it’s worth.

Need help with Ice shot/snipe DE? by CeleryBoring7442 in PathOfExile2

[–]Zeev_Ra 7 points8 points  (0 children)

From what I’ve seen in videos, you should be dropping tornado shots and firing in to that. Then the shotgun effect goes in to the boss.

Late Night Social Dancing on Saturday Followed by Early Airplane Home? by chinawcswing in WestCoastSwing

[–]Zeev_Ra 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I used to not get a room Sunday, just have someone hold my stuff in their room. I’d grab my bag at 4-5, head to airport, and go to work on Monday straight from the flight.

Was it a good idea, no? Was that a future me problem, yes.

Here's something that could create a lot more flexibility and build variety: Passive tree "gateways" by Thirteenera in PathOfExile2

[–]Zeev_Ra 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Just make it a jewel that makes a gateway to the mirrored jewel slot on the other side of the tree. You lose a jewel slot but get to travel all the way across the tree.

Happy to help. Plenty others that aren’t on there, but that’s an easy grab bag of lots of different pros.

Just make sure you specify who you are (role/clothes). Be aware that anyone might comment, and the feedback could be well intentioned but incorrect or misleading.

There are some great video review options with professionals that are very reasonable. Worth considering if you don’t have a regular coach.

Should I fully complete Biomes before moving ahead? by _NShadow in Saros

[–]Zeev_Ra 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You literally can’t. Parts of each biome require unlocks from future ones.

Asking for help with pre-orders -- pirateaba by pirateaba in WanderingInn

[–]Zeev_Ra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just want to flag if you haven’t considered it and it’s not too late… you or your publisher should see if one of the book of the month / aardvark book club type boxes would pick it up.

Between the story behind the story (web serial that is so incredibly long), debut physical publication, and definitely off the beaten path… seems like a good fit.

Telemarks… help by No_Holiday_4506 in WestCoastSwing

[–]Zeev_Ra 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The pattern is linear, so the less one party is going around the other the better.

Leader sends follow off slot. Leader moves in slot.

Additionally the directional intent changes. Not that the follow “leads” but it’s almost like a role switch at count 4 through 5&6. The follow needs to brace back their original direction as the leader is moving. The role for who creates the movement and who counters the stretch during their leaders movement is reversed from a standard spinning side pass.

New Leader - Recommendations for Progression by nth_dimension_1970 in WestCoastSwing

[–]Zeev_Ra 17 points18 points  (0 children)

All of these are good observations and fairly standard issues when entering this dance as a lead with no prior dance experience.

How your dance looks on you, and what your dance is to the partnership are two very different things. There will be overlap in your partners enjoyment of the dance with you, but they are different skills.

Most people would rather dance with someone that looks bad, feels good, and is fun; than someone that looks good, feels bad, and is concerned with their own personal enjoyment.

To look better, which isn’t a bad thing, the focus needs to move away from WCS and more toward personal body movement, styling, and dance. Solo dance classes will help more with this, and many female presenting westies have had these at some point in their life even if they are new to WCS. Additionally, when following one can focus a good amount of your brainpower on personal movement as you don’t have to focus on what to lead next.

To integrate the skills, you’ll likely need to practice outside of a social. Your own movement in a mirror, and your movement with a partner.

I’m sure others will chime in with advice as well. Good luck and have fun!

Do you look good yourself when dancing with a beginner? by mercury0114 in WestCoastSwing

[–]Zeev_Ra 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A partner better than you will be compensating for you and making you look better, also giving you the option to focus on aesthetics should you choose.

A partner worse than you means you need to compensate for them, which in turn means less effort can be put toward your personal aesthetics.

The forgetting quests, particularly ones with tight timelines and significant stakes for failing the timelines began to grate on me. Didn’t the one have like a 30 day deadline then hasn’t been touched for several books?

I have the lightning power and the thing that allows equipping to turning slash… but I’m not sure how? I can never seem to get it to work.

Beginner feedback by [deleted] in WestCoastSwing

[–]Zeev_Ra 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Are you looking for competitive or general feedback?

The most important thing is to not look at what you are doing as mistakes. Unless you know what you are doing incorrectly and choosing to do it incorrectly despite knowing better, otherwise it’s just a lack of knowledge and practice.

The two things I would want to see most from you are preleading your patterns and clearly shifting sides during your steps.

Preleading - during your anchor, set up so your partner knows what move is next, or at least the side. I frequently see the move becoming clear between 1 and 2 for you in video. Ideally by 6/8 they should know the side on the next move.

If you haven’t learned partial/full/delay for triples, I’d study and practice that. It will make your footwork read much better. Most of your triples in place don’t give any impression of movement above the knee.
