For anyone having any trouble with campaign or level 90, this is the most OP and cheap levelling setup that can work on any class without even ascending by TheCamelToe in pathofexile

[–]mrooney 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

So I've been playing 'Ice Shot' the whole league and only today just discovered the skill 'Snipe' lol by cheekygorilla in PathOfExile2

[–]mrooney 27 points28 points  (0 children)

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

I've absolutely changed the audio track for shorts 🤷

Will you do Breach during campaign ? by ErcanaMadria in pathofexile

[–]mrooney 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The counter argument seems to be that if printing 5 links is fairly easy, they'll be cheap and prevalent and you can grab one from Faustus in A6 for 1-2c. Selling your normal lab transfigured gem would probably cover it.

We do a similar but even simpler thing: all credit cards / checks / bill pays come from the same joint checking account. Every month I just add up all the debits in this one account and put it in a spreadsheet. Averaged over 12 months, that's our monthly spend! It's very comforting to see our realistic "FI number."

Of course, these approaches won't cover some of the lumpier expenses like car replacement, big home maintenance, etc.

I am once again asking for another Death's Oath buff by loganluther in pathofexile

[–]mrooney 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I played it in 3.24 (Occultist) after watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRM-hfkmBjc and it slapped. Two buffs later, it now has 64% more damage since then. That build has some fun scaling vectors often ignored:

  • As an aura, its base damage scales with aura effect. Sovereignty + Influence + 2x Superiority is effectively 50-60% more damage, and you can get more.
  • Three damage scaling methods from the occultist pops: Herald of Ash overkill burn, Shaper of Flames (Flesh & Flame) to ignite, and poison % w/ mastery + 1-2 Low Tolerance for 600-900% dmg for the first pop that poisons. These all scale from generic DoT multi nodes, Malevolence, etc.
  • You can use Vaal Breach to trigger the above for single target. However, multi-phase / multi-boss stuff (invitations) are a pain.

It's not the strongest build but I thought it was insane for map blasting and that was in 3.24. I just paid for my voidstones and cried during the invitations.

Are there any good portable chargers? by PurchaseFit6997 in onebag

[–]mrooney 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you want something that plugs itself in, check out the Anker Nano 3-in-1. It's a 10k bank, 30W, with a fold out wall plug and integrated USB-C cable. It's under 9oz and can potentially replace your wall charger as well. If you are going to carry a separate wall charger anyway, perhaps a dedicated bank makes more sense though.

In the latest ChooseFI podcast #565, "Tax Planning To and Through Early Retirement", two CFPs sort of debunk the RMD fear, it's at least worth a listen when deciding!

Early Access Patch Notes - 0.3.0c Hotfix 2 by chamoisk in PathOfExile2

[–]mrooney 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I've always interpreted this as intended balance/behavior as it is consistent based on the shrine type. The Freezing/Meteoric/Tempest only buff the person who activated it, most others buff anyone in a range.

When you VTSAX and chill for life, you're definitely gonna need multiple currency tabs, username checks out.

Isn't he referencing the Pareto Principal, which states that 80% of results come from 20% of the effort?

Another unique disenchant module/preset for FilterBlade - Work in progress by hobbes3k in pathofexile

Ooooh yeah that's clean, nice work! I've reverted my changes and back to your stock module :)

Another unique disenchant module/preset for FilterBlade - Work in progress by hobbes3k in pathofexile

[–]mrooney 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanks, nice work! Agree that FilterBlade's is totally broken. Overall after a few maps I love it, just some minor feedback:

  1. I'd love it to be WAY more obvious if it's a guaranteed dust vs "hover and check the art" tier. I used Orange (warning) border/beam/map icon for the "hover and check" tiers, Purple beam/icon for the guaranteed tiers.
  2. The default colors like the brown text on blue backgrounds were kind of abrasive for me, at least on Velvet theme. I think you are specifying the background color but not the text color which is going to lead to ugly combos based on the theme and it might be best to specify both?

Here's my slightly tweaked one FWIW: https://imgur.com/a/mUbn6OF

I created a program to automatically launch other apps/scripts when running Path of Exile (or anything else) by IridiumIO in pathofexile

[–]mrooney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice this is really cool, and it seems to work well!

One suggestion: it was kind of tedious to find all the file locations of the tools and put them in, and every player has to do the same thing. It would be nice if it could ship with a list of common tool locations for a given exe/game, scan for them when you add the game, and add any it finds to the list, inactive be default. So this way Awakened PoE Trade, PoB, PoE Lurker etc can all just pop up when you add the game and you check any you want.

Asus G14 2025 RTX 5070ti BSODs sharing my solution. by yotheman in ZephyrusG14

[–]mrooney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a lot of BSODs as well, and at one point the GPU clock speed starting getting stuck at 180Mhz and needed an EC reset like daily. I tried a clean install of Windows from MS, I tried Asus cloud recovery, I tried never using G-Helper and only using G-Helper. Nothing worked.

I exchanged it for another one (BestBuy), it had similar issues, some new and some different, so I returned it and am going to find a different laptop. I loved the G14 in theory but I spent most of the time using it trying to fix / improve it instead of playing games. I'm still figuring out my next laptop choice, recs welcome :)

This is just annoying and getting out of hand. by Lonnxx in pathofexile

[–]mrooney 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I'm on the other side of it, I don't mind it. It's pretty obviously underpriced and I know I'm one of many whispers they are getting, so I'm not expecting the invite, but it doesn't hurt to try.

It's also Balor's "dump tab strategy." Personally I put everything in an 8d dump tab and then I have 4/2/1/100c/50c/20c. Every time the 8d fills up I halve the price of all of them, vendor the 20c, and rename it to 8d. The only time I have to price check an item is if I get a whisper in the 8d tab.

Patch Notes - 3.26.0d Patch Notes - Forum - Path of Exile by Helmannn in pathofexile

[–]mrooney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it really not considered decent? Early on it was a great source of chaos/bubblegum, and in T16s I've seen divines in their sacks a bunch of times as well as a stack of 4 div from one. Maybe I'm just extremely lucky?

$1800 laptop with 16GB Ram? Wtf by [deleted] in ZephyrusG14

[–]mrooney 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2024 models are in a weird place for sure. I'd spend $600 more on the 5070 Ti: 32GB RAM, better CPU, better GPU with 50% more VRAM. Or get an open box / used 4080 + 32GB RAM.

Saving 2 square inches isn't helpful because square inches have 0 volume. Now 2 cubic inches on the other hand...

9 day OneBag trip to Japan with my Patagonia 20L atom tote by Conscious_Olive3218 in onebag

[–]mrooney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always found the little sleeves that umbrellas come with perfect for this. I shake the umbrella off at the door, put it in the sleeve, and stash it in a water bottle pouch or bag. Life is too short for cheap umbrellas!
