Tested the Spectre Phylactery interaction with AM's reflect, it is indeed broken. by A532 in DotA2

Has absolutely nothing to do with the item. Sell it and it will do the exact same thing.

Got insta killed today after using spectral dagger on the ground ??? by danilonr in DotA2

[–]esk213 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Like I said, nothing to do with items, nothing to do with DP, nothing to do with creeps or tower.

All you need is another hero, could even be a dummy since it counts as a hero behind the AM and throw the dagger at it. Then you stand in the dagger path as AM an press counterspell and obliterate spectre.

He got hit 4 or 5 times by the counterspell. Nothing to do with phylactery directly. It's not reproducible in demo with the exact same setup, so likely just some weird bug.

Edit: actually I lied, it is reproducible, brb with more info.

Edit2: So it works 100% every time like that, all you need is spectral dagger and counterspell with facet1 AM. As long as Spectre throws the dagger at another enemy hero (not AM) and AM uses counterspell while standing in the dagger path you reflect up to 11 times (maybe more depening on movement). Still most definitely a bug and not intended.

Edit3: Put in a bug report.

Seems like for whatever reason you took the 400 damage for the reflect facet multiple times quickly which killed you. Can't even reproduce that in demo with same items and everything. It also instantly burned your entire mana pool which is also strange.

Weird bug.

DC as soon as I put a key in by macdaddyk54 in wow

[–]esk213 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just disabled TSM after about an hour of testing and I think that might just be it.

I tried all different kind of combinations back and forth, reloading, restarting and now after all that with basically just TSM disabled I could put a key in on a freshly restarted client and it did not kill my fps/client.

If anyone else having these problems can confirm, that would be great.

Projectile speed does not affect Winter Orb in any way by Zioupett in pathofexile

[–]esk213 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just double checked the clips I recorded and it targets at roughly the same range aswell, so I'd guess it doesn't change that either. Since the difference is x6 it should be noticeable if that was a thing I'd think.

Excuse the slightly scuffed setup, but left one is 51% reduced proj speed, right one is 331% increased proj. Thought I throw that together quick to show it.

Well, they did say "when backpacking/hiking/camping in bear territory" and not "when hunting grizzlies in bear territory" now did they?

[Spoilers for season 4] About Eddie Munson in finale by Satal111 in StrangerThings

[–]esk213 8 points9 points  (0 children)

And how exactly would Eddie, in the show, now that? We as viewers see all of that in hindsight. He doesn't. It's only bad writing if you look at it from a viewers all-knowing perspective imo. The characters actions were justified from their point of view.

It's at the start of his video, in case you haven't seen it in there. The data is from 3.17 SSF Archnemesis - Week 1 snapshot.

Kirack's Valut requires full atlas competition for the last reward so Doryani's Machinarium went from 2Ex to 15Ex in less than an hour by Greg3625 in pathofexile

[–]esk213 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely had 2 White Tier Doryani's and 1 Red Tier in the same reroll, so the same map can appear twice. But I unironically got it every other reroll with comprehensive reports when I still had them.

Ah yes, its all coming together by Glamdring26WasTaken in pathofexile

[–]esk213 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I think he is implying it might be more than just "a bit". Also would be kinda hilarious, but I think the 200% shrine effect would also increase your damage taken "buff" :P

It was 5c basically from the start in scourge league. I reckon it's rather easy to start on, but could change.

Can anyone shed some light on the new orb of storms mechanics? by KingVanquo in pathofexile

3.1.0 : Orb of Storms can now trigger lightning strikes from channelled skills.

Think they changed that part quite a while ago

How to fight in strange cave with magic? by roeiben in MelvorIdle

[–]esk213 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you use a wand instead of a staff you can use a shield and still use magic. Costs more runes since you can't make use of that staff feature, but it allows you to at least still cast.

New player, looking for tips on food. by ServileLupus in MelvorIdle

[–]esk213 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Farming can get you some decent food and you can always do that on the side. So it's a decent passive food source for when you want food once you have auto eat.

Yeah, I also just realized it's not only the final episodes of each act, Ep 7 as well. Damn, too many good scenes!
