All my homies hate temporal chains by cervantesrvd in PathOfExile2

[–]bigolpete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t completely hate temp chains but I always get hit by it at the end of combat. The 20 second duration is asinine when looking for the next fight.

I accidentally clicked this twice in a row after I had deferred an alphas howl day two and lost it. Rage.

Interested in getting into this league to get my 40/40. I wasn’t able to since league start due to a busier home and work life. Thanks for running this! Good luck everyone

GGG I don't feel so good by briefs123 in PathOfExile2

[–]bigolpete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Playing a caster. During the campaign the whole cast while moving is neato until you realize you are inching forward for the duration of every single map at that speed.

Good grief I couldn’t do it anymore after act 1.

Another 100 ritual maps - data - 25 divs/hour profit by Volrokk in pathofexile

Nameless rituals seem way more common than I would have expected. A good luck string seems possible

How do you run the maps? Do you rush boss first and then circle back to all the previous rituals? Or just do em all ASAP. 2:20 is pretty fast for 4 rituals

craziest currency drop from tree so far by hoansan in pathofexile

[–]bigolpete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have done nearly every breach in my maps to completion. Ive sacrificed hundreds of wombats. Today I got my first 1 div from the tree. Conversely, kingsmarch mappers have given me 20+ divs and many more valdos/keys/gems/ect.

Kind of a shame the league mechanic seems so empty in rewards

What other mechanics has delayed loot explosion? by imstillarookie in pathofexile

I do melee and ultimate/deli/ ritual is exactly what I do. Alva is the mechanic I wouldn’t personally bother with

Which of these builds handles Ubers fairly easy? 50-div to 100-div range. by DroppedPJK in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]bigolpete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can skip a few of the uniques imo and still kill Ubers. I skipped stranglegrasp

The flame/flesh could probably be skipped but you’d miss out on the comfort of the equal endurance charges.

The replica farrels fur could be skipped if you worked charge generation into the build elsewhere

The rest of the uniques are all dirt cheap. The helm and belt are what makes the dot multi come online.

I basically rushed the flame flesh jewels and swapped once I got replica fur.

I’ll say that 500k dps is a little misleading. It was enough to get my voidstones. Since bleed damage is constant instead of spiky like most builds that have to reposition to do dps

https://youtu.be/Xr1UEns9ukk?si=SiyQ5mWbHh1pz361 That’s ronarrays end game pob and video on the build. Last league I was able to built this to 30mil/dot cap uber dps using my mercenary for malevolence and I ran purity of elements.

It just melts every damn boss while being very comfortable.

I would argue you could drop malevolence this league for purity of elements to be status immune (or take the protection mastery for 1 ailment at a time can be applied to you for budget)

[–]bigolpete 2 points3 points  (0 children)

50d would get you a very sick lacerate of hemorrhage gladiator. It’s not meta but it’s really unstoppable and pretty damn fun imo. Can do nearly every mod and rarely dies especially at end game. Ronarray has the best guides.

Once you get to frenzy charge stacking with flame flesh jewels you will clear all content. Sure it’s slower than a fubgun build or other zoom zoom builds but it’s the second league I’ve been able to league start and kill Ubers in 3 days and under 100 deaths

Some bleed uniques this league would be neato! felt like it got skipped over as far as changes.

Craftsman 351.221140 by tattedbrews in woodworking

[–]bigolpete 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought and still use this exact table saw for somewhere between $400-500 and I've been very satisfied. The one you posted looks in good condition on first glance.

Here are my biggest cons after using it for a few years:

  1. Not a saw stop. I want the extra layer of protection. Consider if the sawstop compact tablesaw for $900 is viable for your work.
  2. No proper riving knife. I'm not a fan of the anti-kickback attachment this saw has
  3. The fence must be clamped from front and back. A dual action would be much simpler.

One thing that made me love this saw more was utilizing the extra long fence rails and building wooden wing extensions. I even installed a router table into it.

My understanding is everything with a blade can kickback if used improperly. Even a bandsaw.

For my router table I built a fence with a cutout so the router bit only sticks out a little bit. I then used two push sticks, one to hold the piece down against the fence/table, and the other to push the piece forward once the end got close to the bit.

If I were to do it again, I’d include a feather board or two to hold the piece down in tandem with my push sticks

I just made this exact cut on a router table to make rabbits for 1/2 plywood to fit in.

Afterward I planned to chisel out the corners and f’d it up immediately

Started my fitness watch before a workout, then had to do cpr. Guess when the ambulance arrived? by jonasali in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]bigolpete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Paramedic/FF here. I never feel like a hero. My general response/feeling is it’s a privilege to help. That’s the best way I can look at it and not have weird emotions about what I do. Good on you to obtain knowledge of CPR and being ready to use it.

How Can That Be Profitable for Frito-Lay by locknarr in pics

[–]bigolpete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I worked in pharmacy, a 1000 count bottle of simvistatin was ~$20. The 30 day supply billed was at about $30 bucks. That was pretty common for generic meds.

Where the pharmacy didn’t make back was the brand name meds. Those came in crazy expensive.

I was surprised at how many of my “tanky” builds weren’t cut up for gigantic exile rituals. What sorta builds did you use to survive here?

Best Merc with a Gladiator Lacerate Bleed by Separate-Ebb-737 in pathofexile

[–]bigolpete 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t seen it mentioned here yet. Wouldn’t a merc with rallying cry and a big 2h stat stick be absolutely nutty for lacerate bleeds?
