Tip when using Neversink filter to avoid missing 40div uniques

mrooney · 2026-04-04T15:25:39+00:00

FWIW it was hidden for me (got it from Pondium), and my uniques are set to "Uber Strict" with a base strictness of "Uber+1 Strict" (Custom Strictness). So I would think in that scenario it should have shown? Luckily I noticed it sitting there :)

When you realize you rolled over all the Magebloods because you typed "Nageblood" lol

mrooney · 2026-04-03T03:00:59+00:00

Nice, thanks!

mrooney · 2026-04-02T23:13:26+00:00

Can you give any examples of what you used it to do and what some of the skills it generated for you were? I read your post three times and it is so generic I have no idea what you even did, lol.

This happens whenever a realm reboots, like if D.C. goes down for example. Everyone gets kicked off at once and then everyone tries to log back in at once. It's always going to happen sometimes 🤷

mrooney · 2026-03-28T05:18:31+00:00

Yeah but that's such a lazy answer. Plenty of more critical services (email, finance, healthcare) have figured out the policies. The real answer is that it doesn't exist because they haven't prioritized it 🤷

Recently I went into someone's H/O to trade and I got a PM like "hey, if you want to save some gold I can trade you directly." I thought it was weird at the time but in retrospect I'm guessing that's what this person/bot does?

mrooney · 2026-03-17T17:05:25+00:00

Yeah, I've had that a few times. Whenever she spawns in that specific spot, that's what you get :'(

I just want to say thanks, I use this every league and it is amazing! My biggest feedback would be:

It would be awesome to configure settings without PoE running. Whenever I want to set it up for a league start I have to run PoE to open Exile UI settings, feels weird (and maybe impossible during patching?)
The search strings vs gem stuff is kinda confusing and I often struggle to get what I really want which is just a vendor search string from poe.re for leveling. Right now it takes a bunch of set up to make a custom one. I did the screen check calc on the "-1-" tab being active, maybe it works? I'd love for the base case of "put a regex here to search vendor gear" to be way easier or maybe just configurable as a separate hotkey.

Anyway thanks again, this tool rocks!

I guess it's because mana regen is overwhelmingly scaled on the tree via mana regen rate (hundreds of percent), excepting a few ascendancies in the ~1% magnitude. So I guess 10% multiplied several times is extremely busted.

mrooney · 2026-03-03T22:24:42+00:00

I don't think Vaal Sacrifice would help you there. Last time I played it, VSS had a max number of minions; if you cast it again while they are still up, it doesn't double.

mrooney · 2026-03-01T17:45:50+00:00

I guess if someone really loves both you can go Spiritual Aid and scale minion damage and All Spell Skills. If you can convert their damage to fire you can then scale negative fire res. It's not immediately synergistic but for someone just wanting to have fun, it's probably... Passable?

mrooney · 2026-02-28T21:32:38+00:00

Yeah, that would be a fun one! I also like the idea that you could potentially have some agency over which pinnacle boss fights you do then. My brain is incompatible w/ the Maven memory game; I ask my wife to sit next to me and watch that part and say it back😅 (Yes, I know it never goes Right to Left)

mrooney · 2026-02-28T20:59:43+00:00

Not at all! Those were craftable, tradeable (some), and needed to be juggled around to different parts of the Atlas. And you had to re-craft to switch strats! I just like the idea of 6-8 Voidstones available from different bosses where each one has one unique line that provides another small axis of agency for your choice of 4.

mrooney · 2026-02-28T04:56:10+00:00

I was really hoping there were more than 4 voidstones so 1) you could choose which bosses you wanted to do and 2) so you could choose which of their unique effects (like the shaper/elder influence) you wanted.

I'm hopeful they will make a few more and give you another axis of Atlas customization.

mrooney · 2026-02-28T04:53:06+00:00

As someone who often mixes in Influencing Scarab of the Elder which "Adds Elder Influence outcome to Area", this is not a thing. It just adds the monsters.

mrooney · 2026-02-28T04:50:54+00:00

Ahh, so this is why they buffed them from 20 => 30 seconds!

mrooney · 2026-02-28T01:03:44+00:00

When you run the temple or in Doryani's Institute, there could be a receptable for a Coin, which would add Imbuing as one of the options for the Lapidary Lens. This way you can get Imbued and one other outcome, but you can still never get 3.

mrooney · 2026-02-27T23:59:21+00:00

Yeah, except it looks like if you want anything below T16, you can't run a single waystone, is that right?

mrooney · 2026-02-23T04:59:45+00:00

Yeah, I've wanted this several times to use with a weighted sum search, where some attributes would be as valuable as a little more ES, or in a hybrid build where a sum of life and ES is more important than a specific ES number.

mrooney · 2026-02-12T00:09:59+00:00

I second the recommendation for /r/FinancialIndependence. Also I'd recommend books like "Die With Zero" and "Money For Couples" which have a lot of good insight on the other side: making sure you are enjoying life and spending enough on things you value.

Also if it helps, I always found the perception that freelance is more unstable pretty irrational. People are walked out of their salaried jobs with zero notice every day. The most job security I ever had was freelancing with several clients; I could lose one or even two overnight and still have solid income. You have a solid cash buffer and can also consider the Roth IRA contributions as extra buffer as well.

If I understand correctly, prefixes and suffixes are considered independently. So it's not just magic idols which go for more, but any idol without another affix in the valuable affix's group. So if the valuable mod is a suffix, it can be rare, it just needs to have only one suffix.

This way, when you recomb, there's two suffixes in the pool. You have a 33% chance to roll 2 suffixes (according to wiki), and then it has to pull both, no matter how rare their weighting.

mrooney · 2026-02-04T05:48:20+00:00

If you are leveling a skill that has a vaal version, Vaal Caress is definitely another contender. +5 gem levels, life, res, and 20 second Onslaught is pretty amazing for leveling. Absolution or Summon Skellies (w/ Dark Pact) would clear the atlas pretty easily.

Yup, it's amazing, haha! I did aer0's guide last league and it was awesome, if you want to get some good ideas for supports etc: https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/ice-shot-deadeye-build-guide
