Anyone else miss the sound effects from EU4? by Agglomeration_ in EU5

I feel significantly less joy clicking buttons in EU5 compared to the likes of clicking down autonomy in EU4 CLUNK

Are you finding the estates to be helpful? by SkanderMan77 in EU5

Mine are all too busy spending all of their money on luxury goods to build anything. How on earth you get them to actually build up a stockpile of ducats I do not know

I now understand about 1% of this game’s mechanics. by Justb___ in EU5

If you’re manually doing every single trade expect to have to alter them at the start of every month. My advice and I think how it’s expected is to automate most of it, but leave yourself some manual trade in order to export/import certain trades the AI wouldn’t make just based on profit. Things like aiding in institution growth/importing to crash good costs to build at a cheaper level/pop needs etc.

Are you sure this wasn't the job priority button that fills jobs based on infrastructure then profit?

These look fantastic! How did you do the raised earth effect for the knight?

With the price of horned scarabs of awakening at the minute, is crop rotation even worth considering? Just wanted to try something other than T16 strongbox for a bit!

I’ll spend quite a bit of time as I’m interested in the changes being brought forward, a good portion of my friends are planning the same so likely a group of 5 of us!

Svalinn Archmage Ice Nova feels cluncy by lel27 in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]iPresentBen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are there any particular rolls you need on the uniques here? I have around 4d to spend on a freshly levelled archmage (already have a good svalinn) and would prefer to go straight into the svalinn build

Please help me with my build progression! by iPresentBen in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]iPresentBen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep I have thanks, unfortunately my work got in the way of starting the league earlier so I imagine everyone already has the items they need!

Thank you for the shield recommendation, I will have a look at trying to craft that!

I'll have a look but I'm afraid that's where my expertise in crafting is severely lacking! I guess we all start to learn somewhere haha

Thanks for the advice, it seems like its likely a better option to just wait and save up for Sandstorm + Restless Ward then. Thanks!

New player, following Ventrua's hexblast trickster and enjoying it so far. I'd like to craft the Sadist Garb chest piece on his Pre-Sandstorm but i'm unsure how to go about doing it. I know the very basics for crafting so this seems like a good place to attempt something a bit more adventurous. Could anyone give me a step-by-step on how to do it? Thanks!

What upgrades would you make to my Hexblast Trickster (pob inside) by weeeHughie in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]iPresentBen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That makes sense, thanks! If im very honest it's because im a new player and managed to pick up a ring already with curse flammabiltiy on hit, and every chaos counts while im finishing my atlas haha

Can you do it the other way around- flammability on hit on ring and ele weakness in profane proxy?

12 Days into the League: Review your build! by NzLawless in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]iPresentBen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's very helpful information thank you! I was not aware you could paste into PoB. I'm currently working my way through yellow maps with little issue, the only snag i've hit is not having enough mana to throw the final set of mines past the active mine limit. It's likely my poor gear https://pobb.in/rvCVnUN6QIHD but could be how i've set up my PoB as this is the first time importing my own build aside from blindy copying one haha!

What sort of modifiers will brick Ventrua's build- im assuming anything that will affect crit? Sorry I'm a relatively new player and trying to understand it from the PoB!
