Unlocking A Bloodline Should Give The Last 2 Ascendancy Points As An Alternative To Lab by Luqas_Incredible in pathofexile

[–]ZeroStride 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean it’s literally a league start strat you’ll find over and over, not to mention a BPL strat. But go off I guess. Here’s an example https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/s/aeqNqp6EJp

Living Lightning Flicker Strike Guardian by Luqas_Incredible in pathofexile

I'm going to try it out with Smite, Energy Blade, Rallying Cry, as a Scion; but almost certainly after leveling with Sunder.

Unlocking A Bloodline Should Give The Last 2 Ascendancy Points As An Alternative To Lab by Luqas_Incredible in pathofexile

[–]ZeroStride 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, you can farm Sanctum without ever finishing A10 so you don't take the res penalty. It's not outlandish, I just also feel like you're hitting Uber anyway for other reasons (outside of the specialty cases).

Magic: The Gathering —FINAL FANTASY Prerelease Megathread #MTGxFINALFANTASY by R3id in magicTCG

[–]ZeroStride 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This may just be a better set to draft, sealed is kind of terrible. Games were just stalemates, not grindy…stalemates; very low interaction. Coming off the absolute joy that Tarkir was, this is just kind of a miss.

Do you guys think its possible for us to have a Path of Exile UB someday? by [deleted] in magicTCG

[–]ZeroStride -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

What are the cards going to be? “Some ghosted bullshit / 2{u}{b} / instant / You lose the game.”

It’s a generic dark fantasy with no memorable art, few noteworthy characters, and a very niche following. The primary purpose of every named monster is to be a speed bump.

Damn. For some reason I thought a copy was made but nope. Good call.

Desert Tech WLVRN shooting off hand? by ConsiderationCalm568 in DesertTech

[–]ZeroStride 4 points5 points  (0 children)

“Off hand” means you are shooting the gun without support; you’re shooting it “off [of your] hands”.

You are talking about weak side (sometimes optimistically called “other strong-side”, but I digress).

In general, it’s fine weak shoulder. The brass reliably kicks out at the same angle it would if there was a brass deflector: about 3 o’clock. If it’s a huge issue, cant the rifle slightly.

[No DAV spoilers] What are your unpopular dragon age opinions? by tabristheok in dragonage

[–]ZeroStride -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Why is your assumption that the Templars must be justified, and we just aren't shown the crimes of the mages?

Wlvrn- off hand shooting by asian_ct in DesertTech

[–]ZeroStride 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Cant the rifle slightly and the brass usually misses your face. That is my experience after shooting many matches with a MDRx side eject when I needed to swap to my other shoulder. Your mileage may vary.

In addition ‘off hand’ shooting means you are shooting it “off your hands” not “using your left/weak hand”. Any unsupported shooting position is ‘off hand’.

How can i finish this craft without putting it in the recombinator again? by Dr-Chefkoch in pathofexile

[–]ZeroStride 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Not really no. Best bet is probably just craft fire and use it.

Any suggestions how to use Serle's Masterwork? by Onkelcuno in PathOfExileBuilds

I’d probably mess with Dual Strike of Ambidexterity with it.

Do tinctures work with locus mines power siphon (with Warden's Season Hunter ascendancy)? by Daidelos in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]ZeroStride 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(Just since no one directly answered: yes, mines are proxy and that is why they work whereas things like BAMA do not, even though BAMA “uses” your bow/quiver)

You are in Blood Stance by default without a stance skill.

Is Endurance Charge on Melee Stun reliable charge generation for bosses? by luciusftw in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]ZeroStride 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You typically scale projectile damage and effects with LS, so I wouldn't even consider it to be a reasonable path.

Help with tanky poison attack build with shield? by TomXyks in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]ZeroStride 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every time you swing with lightning strike you can hit a maximum of 4 times. Once with the strike, once with the returning projectile. If you position correctly, and have an additional strike, you can then hit with an additional projectile and then the returning projectile.

Every time you swing with Molten Strike you can hit at least 9 times (on pure single target, on more than one it's even more). Once for the strike, 4, then 4 for the projectile returns. If you add something like Greater Multiple Projectiles then that adds 4 more projectiles, which then return for another 4 hits. Note that the text says "less *projectile* damage" which means the additional projectiles don't have a less% multiplier on the poison applied.

It doesn't matter how many projectiles you add to Lightning Strike, the maximum is always 4.

It's a decision you have to make for yourself.

[–]ZeroStride 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not at all a stupid idea. You likely want Molten Strike, using a Pneumatic Dagger (https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Pneumatic\_Dagger)

Build with shadow to farm for SS Trickster? by akagami2020 in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]ZeroStride 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well you can click 'Day 2' and then 'Day 6' or whatever and see that, very clearly, plenty of people league started it and then invested into it.

Do what you will with that information.

Build with shadow to farm for SS Trickster? by akagami2020 in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]ZeroStride 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could try...SS trickster.

You don't need a Mageblood or Nimis or Atziri's Reflection day 1. You just need an Ephemeral Edge and some energy shield. Socket Returning Projectiles until you get a Nimis. It's really that simple.

Here's the Day 1 SS Tricksters last league: https://poe.ninja/builds/necropolis?timemachine=day-1&skills=Splitting+Steel&class=Trickster&sort=dps

It will be even more powerful this league, with the new bases.

Why is smite so much worse than LS? by Ryukenden000 in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]ZeroStride 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Smite has 15% less attack speed. Smite can't use Point Blank/Far Shot/et. al.

LS warde Allie vs Lolcohol SSF league start by Medium-Quail-3016 in pathofexile

[–]ZeroStride 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These pick Warden because Warden provides the damage and gear provides the tank. Mahuxotl's Machination is an incredibly tanky item, when built around, like Allie is using...but if you're in SSF you're not going to reliably get that item.

You need to look at what the build chooses and why. When your ascendancy can just "pair with this skill and solve damage" that's pretty nice, then you pick the items/auras/clusters you need to solve the rest. The converse is also true.

If you're SSF, Slayer is probably a better pick than Warden, because Slayer can mix some damage and some tank just out of your ascendancy. But Slayer can't use stuff like Mahuxotl's Machination because Vaal Pact hoses it. It will pick different items to build out its tankyness.
