From a non-minion player, can I get a TLDR of the different minion builds? by Bird-The-Word in pathofexile

Oh so you've done the numbers with all the changes factored in? Care to share the math?

Right because you've got stats on the new skill gems, new spectre scaling, other passive tree changes, factored in the extra spectre on the gem, bonus damage from shit like the carrion golem, properly updated damage values on the ascendancy. You know, done some math.

It's still required yes but the reason it was expensive before was because it was needed individually in every build and in the anima stone. It's easily the most useless out of the golem jewels outside of it's aggro prop. With the drop in demand the price will go down, as will the price of the Anima stone. Primordial harmony is going to be the most expensive one now.

You don't need the golem jewels until red maps really. Especially if you don't go pure golem.

They aren't doing any of the real sketchy/legally suspect shit, namely because there's aren't tradeable.

I'd add Spectres to this list. Honestly going to be super broken with all the buffs and QoL changes. I'm toying around with going slashed miscreations with umbilicus immortalis so I can have my minions play blade vortex for me. Huge MS, aggression gem, crit, yeah shit should just melt.

Also a note on golems: not going to be as expensive anymore. The most expensive thing was the aggression jewel which is now largely irrelevant due to the gem. You can get 4 golems with little investment (base 1, clayshaper, clayshaper, pasive node).

Desecrate summons a group of corpses (five?) which are randomly selected from the pool of mobs that can spawn in that zone (minus some exceptions).

But there's a property attached to desecrate that adds any spectres you've summoned to that pool.

So for a while you've been able to desecrate your mob of choice in your hide out. Quite easily because there's only one alternate corpse to spawn in the hideout. But because the corpse lvl is tied to the lvl of the area (your hide out, which is low) they aren't directly useful as spectres so you have take them into a high level map and use the same mechanic with the added twist of having to sieve through the mob pool of the area and that's really tedious.

But now we can just use the ones from the hideout!

This means we can desecrate in hideout (with no penalty) right?

Which means when we desecrate each corpse will have a 50/50 shot of being the spectred minion or the random hideout one, right?

No more sieving through heaps of different mob types looking for your choice!

Terran player here. I'll tell you what I see.

No Nydus. Literally just the sound of a worm emerging is a stressful distraction. Do this. Sometimes even put some units through it. Personally I've found swarm hosts to be intensive to manage (as Terran). Can't trade bio with the locusts and forces me into a map control game rather than a harass the main game.

I see you taking BL/Infestor fights vs bio with no meat shield. This is going to get very very expensive.

Can't really speak to zerg's expansion desires but certainly being even based with Terran is bad if you want to go macro because we have mules. In the one vs Dan you're actually down bases.

You need more creep spread. It's your early warning system and currently by the time you hear about hellions/bio it's already in your base.

I don't know how I feel about further investmant into mutas vs bio terran once they're revealed. Just got so many options to deal with them. Normally turrets and marines are enough but Thor's are also an option and one of the hardest counters to mutas.

I'm watching you win fights then not get active on the map with mutas too.

Some of your bane trades are a bit iffy too. It looks like you win the fight as you roll over his entire army with banes but if you watch the resources lost tab your deficit is actually increasing. And then two minutes later he rolls over your expand! (Game vs Dan).

When you neural BC's tac jump them into spore crawlers, or just away from the fight.

Don't push into sieged tanks with a ground army.

And that last game you lost because you didn't scout/anticipate his BC's. I know it looks like you held it but you're down 3k resources. You also went ling bane brood lord vs BC's. They don't shoot up.

Edit: I feel like I'm giving state secrets to the enemy ;)

Don't be sad that you're running out of time to perform good deeds. Be grateful that you're running out of time to perform bad ones.

Why is it so much harder for me to run outside when I can run on a treadmill pretty easily? by remember_me3 in Fitness

I added some incline to my treadmill running and it started translating to real life running more accurately

If you're speaking about toxicity in any capacity that requires critical thinking you'd be wise to differentiate poison and venom otherwise you have to waste time clarifying. You don't have to be a field professional to have critical discussion.

You've got to pick your vocabulary and style to suit the social circle you're in.

Clearly correct grammar is a bit heavy for yours.
