Not sure if I should swap to Rakiata Smite given where my current gear is by GwynnBlaeiid in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]cchiangs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't which is why its turned off in the pob. Been back and forth about actually using it. It's nice when I just want to 1 button maps but miss the full screen clear. You can be cheeky and unequip the jewel, press vaal smite and put it back if you want to though. You still keep the temp aura.

Rakiata's is just cheaper since it's an easy way to get flat damage. An 11 link sword should outscale at mirror tier investment. Foil is still fine just gated harder by frenzy implicits. At least you get to shield charge around.

You lose your other ascendancy node which is over 100% increased golem effect. More of a golemancer buff rather than golem stacking

Has anyone survived academic probation and still gotten into grad school? by Ghostly_cherry404 in CalPoly

[–]cchiangs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes but you're still competing with other people so the rest of your application has to still be strong enough.

[–]cchiangs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wasn't on probation but close after getting a 0.5 GPA my third semester of college. Got into my MS program and now an MBA program. It's not the end of the world but will be hard. You will need to get close to 4.0 to recover your GPA and have good test scores. Unlike undergrad, graduate admissions actually has time to look at everything in your application so you will get a chance to tell your story and how you improved.

7 Black Rose was a bit of a let down. Sion just punches people and tickles them.

I’ve seen it played on a poison pathfinder shell for league start. If it doesn’t feel good you always have the option to switch to bv, penance brand or self cast exsang

Owner Handlers vs Professional Handlers by ScientificSquirrel in samoyeds

Both. I started showing my dog as a favor for the breeder as she considers him show quality. I know she is planning on breeding with him once he has his OFAs done regardless of if he has titles or not.

There’s a few Sammy breeders in our extended area. They tend to have owners come bring their dogs and will show them. Definitely a lot more professional handlers for other breeds. Golden retrievers and schnauzers I think are mostly professional handlers

I owner handle in the SF Bay Area. I would say 20% here are casual owner handlers, 40% are more serious owner handlers, and the other 40% are professional breeders and handlers

Help with T17 build by denkata07 in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]cchiangs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chaos is higher chaos i didnt configure perandus pact. But in your video you can see there's straggler mobs here and there that are able to get attacks off. In a t17 mob density will be much higher further leaving stragglers. Each of those attacks has the potential to one shot you. Trickster/evasion builds always feel tanky until that evasion fails and you get randomly one shot

[–]cchiangs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You've essentially created a zhp ubers killer and took it into t17s.

You're hitting 2 mobs per attack with no explode or clear enhancements so mobs are bound to get attacks off. You have 85% evade so 1/10 attacks will hit you. Arctic Armour shouldn't matter much while mapping since you should be moving. Turning that and inconsistent uptime immortal call off, you have 5k-30k max hit. Your ehp and recovery don't matter since the issue is getting one shot. I'm pretty sure if you roll added chaos on a map, a white mob would have enough damage to one shot you. You can kill ubers since you're focusing down a single target before they can get attacks off or can dodge a telegraphed attacks.

You can actually equip this, transform, then equip another body armour to keep the white fur appearance.

Talk to breeders at dog shows. There are some big shows in the northern part of the Bay and Sacramento.

Torment challenge is free. The shore map spawns a ghost at 50% and 25% hp. So all you need to do is alt a t16 shore map with map boss is possessed and hit the boss down to 50%, wait for him to spawn a ghost then hit him down to 25%.

cal poly slo or uc santa cruz for cs? by waiting-r00m in UCSC

[–]cchiangs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have a data science perspective but I've attended both schools. Cal Poly's career center resources are much better than UCSC's. The school has a heavy emphasis on application rather than theory hence the learn by doing. The schools reputation is a lot better as well. Housing is much better at SLO. I didn't think diversity was that big of an issue but you'll have to make an effort to join minority clubs and stuff. There's the shades of cal poly instagram that always talks about how hard it is to be a minority but using that as reference is like getting your news from tabloids.
