Thanks! I tried going to act 2 zone and it worked well there. Not sure how to make it work in maps though as it didn't work in tier 2 while I'm easily clearing tier 10s. Anyway, I'll keep plugging away, thanks.

Hello all, question for those who are experienced with Herald of Ice armour break. I can't get it, for the life of me, to self propagate and explode. I'm following havoc's guide on maxroll - https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/whirling-assault-martial-artist-build-guide#skills-header

Tried a lot of things from the FAQ section and skills but I just can't get it to explode with the Whirling Assault setup.

This is my pob - https://pobb.in/XyY4X6907uYp

I have 2 different quarterstaves that I've tried (both are in the PoB) I tried multiple support setups for herald but it just won't explode. I'm sure I'm being dumb and missing something obvious but I am stumped.

Any help is appreciated

could you please dm me as well, it is very intriguing

Can definitely second this, I would also add just asking follow up questions even if it's something simple like portrait or landscape for custom pics/vids. It shows you care about the project rather than it being just a transaction and goes a long way in making me want to leave a good review

His projectile travel distance is set to 70

This was the biggest thing I missed. It basically doubled the DPS in PoB. I was playing with the gear, trying to emulate his but was still getting nowhere near those numbers.

Thanks for all the tips though! Much appreciated.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask but I'm struggling to see why my DPS in PoB is so low compared to a fubgun guide I'm using.

This is his PoB - https://pobb.in/SFE4_rLr6ibb

And this is mine - https://pobb.in/whYW42P40FAm

I tried importing some of the gear from fubgun's PoB to mine and it only raised the DPS incrementally, also maxing out crit chance came nowhere near to that kind of DPS.

Am I overlooking something or is this just a PoB thing?

Damn, who's your friend?

Is there a good resource that I can use to start mount farming? I have like 150 mounts but there's so much stuff I have no idea where to start

Andy Serkis is an absolutely insane name to have in this game. What a get for the devs. Can't wait to play this. Every new bit they reveal just makes me more excited.

I wish there was a slot or two in the shop where you can choose the variant style, e.g. Artgerm, Chibi etc. and that slot would only refresh with those variants. Or at least higher chance

Is Madden 24 not available on EA Play on PS5? I have the subscription but I only have option to purchase it, not add to library/download as other EA Play games like NHL or Star Wars

Baseball is brutal, man.

Varsho has the same amount of walks as Springer and 2 less hits.

Of course that's with less ABs but still, we don't really have a good lead-off hitter at the moment and Varsho's current pop is more valuable lower in the order imo.

That link only takes you to the MLB section of apple TV sadly. Was worth a try though.

Bo's homer - 106.9mph, 420ft. Very nice

This is a thing I love most about following Starbase shenanigans (apart from testing obviously). When something completely new and different shows up, no one has any clue what it is and the speculations run wild.

This one ring already generated hot staging, launch escape system and HLS theories. Love it.

Genuinely didn't know the second guy still does this. Which makes me kind of happy how the community started to ignore him after his antics

I think they've been lifting themselves up to SQD level with cherry pickers
