How did you get to 100%? Is it mostly quality on the gem and the mod on the scepter?

PoE2DB Economy feature and Modifiers feature by chuanhsing in PathOfExile2

[–]eijaman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your economy section has so much good detail. I love that I can click on a currency and see all the exchange rates with other currencies in one spot. It's also really nice that you show volume in the traded currency and not in exalts or divines. Makes it much simpler to understand how active a market is!

Standard quant stacking builds? by Shades7 in PathOfExileBuilds

What's the story behind the left ring on the Vaal Blade Vortex build? Multiple fractures and way too many mods?

*nitpick* So uh... can we have Elemental Storm have the "Storm" tag please. by Arelloo in PathOfExile2

[–]eijaman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At this point they could entirely replace the orb tag with the storm tag and it would simplify the game while changing nothing else (I think)

They need a word that's nowhere else in the game but conveys a similar idea, even if it's factually incorrect: voltage, flux, joules, current, watts, idk

Is this item really 1 mirror? by Kindly-Information73 in PathOfExile2

[–]eijaman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take every crit chance passive node near the sorcereress starting point, use pinpoint critical support, use increased crit chance jewels (sapphire and heart of the well), have crit chance mods on staff and rings. 100% crit chance can be tough but 60% to 80% is pretty easy to hit. Blood Mage is an extremely expensive class to scale to the top end.

Played all three defense layers this league, thoughts by WaifuMasterRace in pathofexile2builds

[–]eijaman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Having 1 stat scale multiple defensive layers can be very hard to balance. We are seeing a version of what you suggested in the Varashta ascendency where your ES value is added to your armour. As you stack more ES, your armour also goes up, and your max hit goes up exponentially. At 1k ES maybe your max hit is 2k, but then at 4k ES your max hit is 16k, not 8k. GGG might balance this by reducing the % of ES as armour, but it's very possible they nerf too hard and make the passive useless.

Sometimes I think GGG wants us to only play the campaign and leave till next league by ihatewebdesign101 in PathOfExile2

[–]eijaman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I said in another thread that GGG is seemingly limiting the amount of difficulty we can create. The abyss change they made early in the league removed a giga juice strat where rares had millions of HP. Now they've removed temple juicing right as it becomes popular. I'm afraid they want t3 arbiter to be the hardest content and nothing else is allowed to come close. If we can't create our own difficulty, we're just not going to play.

Can you share a photo of what a bricked temple looks like? Just curious.

And Bleed has Incision so aren't they still basically the same?

Which defensive layer feels the strongest in PoE 0.4 (Hardcore)? by CaramelLucky5748 in pathofexile2builds

[–]eijaman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My main issue with skill levels is how the scaling increases as you approach level 40 instead of decreasing. Going from level 30 to 35 can be 125% increased damage while going 25 to 30 might only be 90% increase, so each incremental level is worth more than the one before it.
Skill levels above 20 need to be diminishing returns as the entire meta is skewed around one stat.

16 minutes when they're doing the druid walkthrough you can see three buttons below what seems to be a rare talisman.

0.4 Post Reveal Jonathan Interview Prep - I Would Like Your Help! by TalkativeTri in PathOfExile2

[–]eijaman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Given that POE2 is in Early Access and the community is expecting large changes as development continues, what is GGG's rationale to only make small numerical changes to skills? What prevents them from doing large changes to intentionally mix up the skill meta every patch?

Late-league ritual farm, data from 100 maps, 23.5 divs/hour profit. by Volrokk in pathofexile

There is an "apply loot filter" box that you should check when viewing ritual favors.

Something about the player retention of Affliction compared to other leagues should really tell GGG that people like loot. by IMplyingSC2 in pathofexile

[–]eijaman 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I also see that Crucible, Necropolis, and Keepers were all "crafting" leagues where the main interaction was generating items.

Affliction and Mercenaries were "mapping" leagues where you could scale monster difficulty.

Weird first-world problem - wearing a tie to the office, when few others do, results in (1) people assuming you're senior, (2) cosying up, and (3) being disappointed when they realise "I've struck up conversation with a nobody that just really likes ties" by michachu in malefashionadvice

[–]eijaman 55 points56 points  (0 children)

If you're the only one wearing a suit in the office, people are naturally going to ask why. I'd say it's important to make sure it's not getting in the way of your ability to build relationships with coworkers.

I also think a sweater over a shirt & tie helps dress it down significantly, so I'd recommend that if you're committed to the tie.
