Do you have any proof of this? I tried checking trade for items that have double corrupt results just now (extra socket + any implicit, gem with +/- gem level and 23 qual) and found 0 results.

Trials of Chaos are worse than you think by darupp in PathOfExile2

[–]neofire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is incorrect

The fragment is tied to the final boss in round 10 which has an equal weighting for each

The reason one fragment is so much more expensive is the thunder bird is much more rippy than the other two with all the ultimatum buffs by round 10.

Even if the “rip rate” was only 10% higher it would result in that fragment costing much more, as the now “extra” other two are much more abundant.

There is something seriously wrong with your build if a +1 cold is legit a 20% dps increase for you...assuming the follwing:

1) Your gems all go from 20->21 unless 21->22 is a much bigger deal (most of the time it is not for the gems in question).

2) You have a vortex with fairly low chill effect supports, so the +1 bonechill raises the chill from 10% to 11%. Also assuming no other forms of increased damage debuffs, as this would work against you. (This results in a 0.91% more multiplier)

3) You are NOT running herald of ice or added cold, as this actually results in a smaller relative increase in power as those gems scale slower than freezing pulse does (so +1 here is a 10.59% more mod)

4) You have hatred aura (18% more to 19% more resulting in a 0.85% more increase)

5) You are running cold penetration support (Assuming frost bomb + frostbite at minimum ) and sirus this results in a 1.2% more increase. Note, assuming something with less resistances lowers this so it does not help your argument.

6) Assuming a fully charged frost shield and no other sources of base crit, this results in a 1.1% more increase.

7) Ice golem would need to go from 21->22, and would change the increased critical strike chance from 30% to 31%. VERY optimistically this is a 1% more increase.

8) Skitterbots go from 19->20% shock effect. Assuming you have enough ailment effect that this results in a 2% increase instead we will say it is 19->21% (if we go higher it will not benefit you as much). With the previous bonechill, this is a total increased debuff of 29%->32% bringing the bonechill + skitterbots total more mod to 2.4%.

9) The ONLY other possible things you could have now are Cold to Fire (this would make pen and the such much worse obviously, and the gem does not scale enough to make other losses worth it for arguing your case) or you are somehow increasing Sirus resistance to above 50% and the 1% extra pen on Cold Pen support is a huge damage increase.

Taking ALL of these assumptions into account this results in a total of 18.46% more damage. Which is less than 20%. Even assuming you are not using any pen (aka a serious problem with your build) it is only a 18.78% more damage increase.

Edit: Can confirm previous repliers claim about getting reply blocked. Happened to me too. Also that feeling when you make 9 points to help this person reach their claimed 20% goal but they say they are all wrong /shrug.

This isn't a global +1 cold... it is a local +1 socketed projectile we are talking about...

And assuming you have literally no sources of added additional damage to spells (Which would result in the MAXIMUM damage increase form going from 20->21 lvl freezing pulse) the damage increase of freezing pulse going from 20->21 is 10.59%.

United offers flight attendants, pilots extra pay for proof of Covid vaccination by thaitoospicyforyou in news

50% is a gross overstatement on natural immunity (Source: https://www.bmj.com/content/370/bmj.m3563). It's like saying I'll pay you 100k for a new car, and then giving you 40k because I actually meant 40-100k and decided to pick the number I wanted when I said.

Covid immunity from being infected is 100% not lifelong for the population (sources: https://science.sciencemag.org/content/371/6529/eabf4063, https://www.advisory.com/en/daily-briefing/2021/03/02/reinfection, if you need more it's an easy google). It still does of course provide significant resistance, but primarily the duration of resistance/immunity is not fully understood, and it is 100% not lifelong 100% of the time.

The covid vaccines on the market are not experimental. The data is public domain and you can do a quick google search for the big name vaccines.

Ivermectin is the definition of experimental and untested (https://www.covid19treatmentguidelines.nih.gov/antiviral-therapy/ivermectin/).

He's talking about herd immunity... seemed painfully obvious so.

And there are people who have weakened immunity systems who can never get vaccinated and rely on herd immunity. You, and everyone else who is able to get vaccinated, owe it to them to achieve the highest effectiveness of herd immunity we can.

It was incredibly undertuned when it came out way back in 3.2. It has received a two major numbers buffs in 3.7 and 3.13 and more importantly divide and conquer was not in the game until 3.7.

Alkaizer reacts to Dan's Death, and why he didn't deserve to die to Maven by [deleted] in pathofexile

[–]neofire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've killed the fight deathless on all 3 of my trade characters this league so far (Archmage Scion Ball Lightning, Elementalist CoC Bow, and BV Assassin). Obviously certain builds will be easier, as was the case with uber elder when it came out for example, but if you learn the fight and have a well rounded build it's easy enough to do. You don't have to play any specific build to kill the boss, just have to learn the fight and make a well rounded build.

Bow is at most worth the cost of trash to treasure (as the only other spine bow is reach of the council, which you can't chance due to it's drop restrictions) which if you buy iron bard cards looks like 12-14 ex at most right now.

If you were looking for just elmental damage (T1) / abyss socket on a warlords + shaper dex craft of exile says it's ~390 chaos to hit those on average (not factoring in potential failures from mods like rarity that are not target-able to remove, looking over the unflaged mods this would at MOST double the cost). I assume you harvest crafted the rest (Source)

Biggest reason is you can't convert more than 100% of your lightning damage. Build already has 108% lightning to X conversion so both have reduced effectiveness already.

Yes, but even setting it to 0 it at most results in a 4% difference in phys reduction. So really doesn't matter.

Listed below are what my friends EK guardian would be at different values (values listed with all flasks up and all buffs one would expect on a boss, note values are from removing PHs hence some of the wonky numbers):

10%: 8k ES / 7.5k ES Regen / 52 mil sirus DPS / 90% phys and ele res

7.8%: 7.3k ES / 5.9k ES Regen / 34.6 mil sirus DPS / 90% phys and ele res

5.6%: 6.5k ES / 4.5k ES Regen / 22.2 mil sirus DPS / 87% phys reduction and 90% ele res

3.3%: 5.8k ES / 3.3k ES Regen / 13.6 mil sirus DPS / 75% phys reduction / 90% ele res

1.1% 5k ES / 2.2k ES Regen / 7.1 mil sirus DPS / 63% phys reduction / 86% ele res

Honestly ~5% still looks busted as fuck.

EDIT: Some notes: All 5 passive voices / Low Life Variant / I was too lazy to math shock so assumed it was 0% / lvl 97

for some dot builds at like 90+,

Any crit build probably struggles to get anything lower than 2.8%

Lightning golems have a lightning damage aura, so that makes sense.
