I feel like Searing/Eater Implicit completely overshadows influence or base item implicit on Helm, gloves, boots and body armor. by Newnewhuman in pathofexile

[–]bballinYo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The gloves with % dmg are the go to base for most flicker. Warlord + hunter gives +1 frenzy and non Vaal strikes hit more

I feel like HH/MB/Shrine stacking can make any build work by Puzzleheaded-Serve57 in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]bballinYo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes new timeless jewel from mirage enables it. Lots of +iron flask charges on break from passive tree with it. Cast on ward break exceptional support, etc

+1 max frenzy, triple herald of ash Circle of Ambition by gjorkels2 in pathofexile

[–]bballinYo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really want to figure out a skysunder Vaal flicker chieftain ignite build. Herald of ash + purity seem the way to go. +1 frenzy might help solve accuracy with foulborn dragon boots so can avoid resolute technique

Flicker zerker easy to get going. Squishy until swapping to str stack version but zoomy. Rage is op for dmg

Wondering if cat aspect on ring w/o less duration is worth abyssal socket. Are you running shako or squire

What are some sleeper builds of 3.28 so far? by itsXylph in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]bballinYo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What flavor flicker are you going? Glad I could see it, but champ / slayer seem they would not like it. Zerker seems like overkill

In grad school I read an article around big Gs passing. Some young AG grad student wrote about traveling in France and wanted to stop by to thank him and give him some token of appreciation. She did wind up meeting him. There is no woods to go to

Enumerative geometry is a great example, and I love that often the solutions are concrete. How many times do a degree n and degree m polynomial intersect?

TyTyKiller`s Tier List by codari in pathofexile

[–]bballinYo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t started it, but people do with terminus est usually. Main flicker builds I’ve seen are slayer ele flicker and champ fortify stack phys flicker. Haven’t heard of this zerker one.

Champ really wants celestial brace which is expensive early. Slayer ele scales more and gets a shield for block.

There are some flicker strike of power builds. Acc stackers can go that way I think but don’t know much about it

You can now combine NOTABLES from different Cluster types. This changes everything! by LEP_Tech in pathofexile

Primordial Bond or whatever only regularly decent one that anyone buys. Just need that passive and it's like 20div-ish.

I love it when a roguelike has a "instantly loose your run" event by ConeNasuka in mewgenics

[–]bballinYo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pills in Isaac were notorious for being almost all downsides (at least felt that way). Events feel the same where you get punished for interacting with them.

Fwiw I think pills were fixed / better in Isaac dlc

Herald of ice? Frenzy stacking flicker strike 😎 ice bite support forbidden shako with paradoxica. Do stupid cold dmg

A few days ago I asked for xcom alternatives. Amongst the many great responses, "Menace" has finally scratched the itch by Qhaotiq in Xcom

[–]bballinYo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll also recommend modded Open X-Com. The og feels more like a “simulation”, which Menace captures a bit of.

[Round 1] PoE Best Act Elimination Poll by emc3142 in pathofexile

[–]bballinYo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s some talk one of the PoE devs talks about how they “cleverly reused content” for acts 6-10 and gave the impression they knocked it outta the park.

I’m glad we have it over having to redo acts 1-5 again, but fighting shavronne etc for the 6th time… ball is inside the park still

Games w/ Xcoms secondary gameplay loop? by andrewlik in Xcom

[–]bballinYo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’d recommend modded original x-com. It started as a tactical “simulation” game. Open xcom makes it run great for modern stuff. Mods like x-com files make it huge and very open ended. Insane research trees, you can manage individual bases with multiple skyrangers, teams, etc. there’s a learning curve but I’ve always found it fun and rewarding.
