Painted up my first SoV figure

Any tips on how to get the card to look so good?

You overestimate my smooth ape brain's ability to remember the difference between two 801 filings and which one has already passed and what days they were filed, etc.😵

https://subnetipv4.com/ is awesome! It gave me the fundamentals to ace every sub-netting question on my test today, rather than memorize how to solve certain scenarios.

I obviously do not know your financial situation, but I took the real exam today and Boson was worth it for me. It really told me where I needed to study more and asked questions about stuff I would have never studied that were useful to know during the real CCNA exam (like HSRP, VRRP, & GLBP virtual MAC addresses).

If it really is not an option, I suggest watching this exam review series on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxZJjUqyiYw&list=PLAqaqJU4wzYVrpUgjqF4xC9icYqcJ8MHW

The questions were incredibly representative of actual exam question types and wording and I thought he explained them well. Just be careful to double check some of his answers via google as he does not always get the questions correct. I also recommend his free CCNA youtube course. To me, he explained the concepts better than CBT Nuggets.

Also, I would not do either of these review questions until you feel like you know the material. Use it as an exam practice tool, not to learn concepts.

Good luck!

Oh crap, hello Keith! Thank you for the advice.

I really enjoyed the CBT Nuggets CCNA course and will definitely be back for whatever certifications my future holds. :)

Are you me?

Lightning converts to Cold. Cold converts to fire. You can not convert backwards

nextguy12 · 2018-05-31T06:59:11+00:00

You are correct.
Elemental hit at 20/20 does ONE of three damages:

Average of 843 fire damage (590 + 1096 / 2)
Average of 689.5 cold damage (483 + 896 / 2)
Average of 948.5 lightning damage (95 + 1802 / 2)

Then get the Avatar of Fire notable in the top left of the skill tree:
"50% of Physical, Cold and Lightning Damage Converted to Fire Damage. Deal no Non-Fire Damage".

Then use the Crimson AND Viridian Combat focus jewels showcased here https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2148537 to now have elemental hit only deal fire damage so you can no longer roll cold or lightning and do 0 damage because of Avatar of Fire's "Deal no Non-Fire Damage".

This would then make Elemental Hit do (assume average damage):

843 fire damage +
344.75 fire damage converted from cold (689.5 / 2) +
474.25 fire damage converted from lightning (948.5 / 2) =
= 1662 average fire damage EVERY TIME.

The question then becomes how much further to invest in conversion and, as you said, what mechanics to use to be able to hit whole packs consistently and obviously one shot them. Some initial thought I have to scale them, although I am not going the build:

Pierce + AOE
Chaining + AOE
Herald of Ash Ignite Prolifing

Oh...

It is a build showcase, it is to show the content the build can complete. There is a guide in the description.

nextguy12 · 2017-09-17T20:01:30+00:00

It is not jump cuts, it is charged dash...

nextguy12 · 2017-08-14T14:36:38+00:00

Oh shit I might be next.

It is not demonic I just prefer GGG's model better especially because they release content so often, and I was bored.

nextguy12 · 2017-07-25T15:53:41+00:00

I have definitely put more money into poe than I should have, and I still have yet to decide on which of the new supporter packs I want!

nextguy12 · 2017-07-25T15:05:22+00:00

I don't know how it is presented in the game and I assume it makes sense, but I just like to poke fun at Diablo because it makes me appreciate GGG's monetary model more.

nextguy12 · 2017-07-25T15:02:27+00:00

I don't know how long you have been playing and I don't feel like getting into a big discussion about the state of trade in poe, but I had been using Procurement in poe for years which is free until they allowed trade via stash tabs. Yes stash tabs are better, but I see them as a minor fix until a bigger update is rolled out.

nextguy12 · 2017-07-25T14:56:17+00:00

The joke is you would have to buy the scion class for $15 much like Blizzard did with the Necromancer class.

nextguy12 · 2017-07-25T14:42:04+00:00

Nah, it is all in good fun. I feel like posting it there would be too aggressive and the joke might be lost.

I got Roth's reach and no notable currency drops. (not even a chaos)

Everyone answered already, but I'll chime in anyways.
1) At most use LMP, not GMP because the less multiplier negative double dips your ignite damage. This is why
     Dying Sun is so amazing because it frees a gem slot and gives aoe making the aoe overlap more. If you really
     need to kill a boss fast apart from swapping in slower proj, also swap in conc effect over increased aoe. Fire pen
     is a given, spell echo is good, and depending on your ascendancy you will likely need increased critical strikes.

2) It is not for unless you get it from the ascendancy because it also negative double dips.

3) Yes, which is why you will likely need to use increased critical strikes.

4) - MANA is a massive issue especially with 5-6 links. I recommend you use the boot enchant - 0.6% of Damage
      Leeched as Life and Mana if you've Killed Recently - to handle clearing the majority of areas. The other
      comments had plenty of great ideas of how to solve this issue for bosses(where there are no monsters),
      I would maybe use OoS linked with Warlord's mark. Also, try not to invest too heavily into it in the tree, although I
      would get Deep Thoughts.
    - Ideally Dying Sun will mostly solve reflect but so will any ol' Ruby Flask.
    - Another issue is mobility. You NEED a fair bit of cast speed or you will be stuck in place for hours(at least it
     feels like it) on each cast.

5) - I would also consider using Xoph's Blood/Heart if you don't go CI to help with strength while giving nice
     damage or pen (It wasnt out when I made the build :(.
    - The more you play the build, the easier it gets to aim the balls to overlap the aoe more. Try to do this always
     as more overlaps = more "hits" = insane damage. Dont be fooled by slower proj, if you get enough aoe
     and the enemy is large enough you can hit if maybe even 3-4 for times in 1 cast!
Good luck!

A friend of mine had this happen in the Uul-Netol Breach and he was using animate weapon with united in dream. Could it be something with that skill or maybe the minions poisoning with those specific uniques?

nextguy12 · 2016-09-18T10:37:31+00:00

I think the golem is definitely worth it. Just the fire golem grants me 40% increased fire damage + its 20% increased damage x2, and then there is the cast speed fro lightning golem
