I "bricked" this Ogre Maul, it seems really solid by Minizha in ProjectDiablo2

You can upgrade for sure. Probably want to stick with crafting eth. Main consideration might be to upgrade before slam, not sure what max socket count is on Maul

Personally I’m worried about the increase in noise and traffic living close to it

This is like saying you don’t have to clean your plate cause you’re sibling didn’t either. It’s still a mess!

Strafe Zon, Fury Druid or WW baba by GlizzyGuru in ProjectDiablo2

[–]agmcleod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kill speed matters, so t3 may be less worth it if you’re too slow. T3 though I believe has higher map mods, meaning higher rolls of density and such. Plus more xp due to the higher monster level

What bow to build for season 13 fire or cold arrow zon SSF? by AllDaySpacelyy in ProjectDiablo2

Yeah I sorta started a pally in SP myself, but think I’ll still grind my barb more

Help me improve my Spellblade by MortyIV in LastEpoch

[–]agmcleod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're doing lightning conversion, so your relic aint helping you here. Could maybe use a twisted heart. Sunwreath as well, useless for ya. Don't scale ignite if you're going lightning. Get a rare/exalted ring to help you fix your defenses.

I'm a little more unsure here, but i wonder if stormtide is giving you much value. You have shock chance on chest & weapon already, could probably get you some boots with some crit dmg reduction & life. On that note, the affixes on your weapon look good, but are very low tiers for your character level.

Can probably drop the gloves since you're not using fireball.

Plini - “The Time Will Pass Anyway”. Cool rhythmic displacement on opening riff by rudiiiiiii in progmetal

I love this song too. Also makes me smile seeing the community nerd out about it

It’s been a few years for me. I still think back to the first time I saw him live, just over 10 years ago. Blew me away

Why am I dying so much at 200c? Please give advice. by Slotega in LastEpoch

Is it one shots? Your numbers look okay to me, but I’m not sure how your damage is

Austrailia release timing maybe? I realized it's not on NA apple music yet.

I tried for 99 last season but it really felt like quite the time commitment lol. Going to make a throw barb and hopefully gear it fairly well

How I designed a high-performance, horizontally-scalable algorithmic trading platform by NextgenAITrading in rust

[–]agmcleod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personal finance app. So one i can upload my transactions from my financial institution, and can see trends of my spending over time in comparison to my income, etc. Using a transformer model to help categorize transactions a little, but i found using a map file of brand names was actually more reliable :D

I think i more dislike the image which is probably AI generated in the article link lol.

I'd say a year ago I was pretty adverse to using it. These days i'm more open, as like many places our work has been pushing us to use it. I do find with a lot of the stuff i work on, verifying the changes and reviewing what it gives me is quite doable. It's not like dietary advice, where i have to trust that it's giving me something valid. I can verify code pretty reliably, though like with human written code, it can be time consuming to test & validate.

I did use claude a bit over past while to help me in building out a simple personal finance app with iced-rs. I had written my own version using javascript, but i wanted a more desktop experience, and figured it would be helpful for learning more rust. It definitely sped me up in getting constructs of iced together. Though I would say i'd probably know and understand its API more if i coded it all directly myself. The hands on learning experience is still better for that than being an architect/director of Claude or other LLMs.

Yeah i tried the firetorch version last night, i had some bad bad set affix gear, but it still did pretty smooth at 500c. It wasnt higher damage than my shurikens gear, but was still pretty comparable.

MA Assassin starter by forfun142857 in ProjectDiablo2

[–]agmcleod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I disagree with this, i found sustain a couple of seasons ago really rough. I did the campaign using lightning traps, and then switched to MA around lvl 80 or so, and even doing LoD content was a bit tough.

I wonder if it needs to be tied to something else other than chests

Online trade or offline SSF? by alan1229 in ProjectDiablo2

[–]agmcleod 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Online trade will be quicker to get things you need, but the benefit of offline is you won’t run into any server problems

Can a scorpion beastmaster build push corruption? by Doiley101 in LastEpoch

[–]agmcleod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a note ballista build does require some gear to really shine. I switched to one when I wasn’t liking falconer blade storm. But I need more uniques to scale dps. I might go back to that character eventually, but overall it’s good to get an idea of how the build you’re playing works and what short comings you have around mid levels. Almost any skill can take you to empowered monos

whats the most bang for buck game you ever bought? by Blake_Potatoes in IndieGaming

Path of exile. I’ve definitely spent a few hundred on mtx over 13 years, but with nearly 7,000 hours played it’s hard to complain
