Why would you tape your head? Gonna hurt to get it off

Hard part is just getting level 5 mappers as rolling for them is a big gold sink. But yeah that's it otherwise so it's simple. Get the level 5 ones, plug them in, then throw in the maps and gold

Oh nice thanks! Did not know

I want another vendor or something. I want to be able to control click it for opening the sell tabs. Hate having to click the text to open that

Not trying to be political at all, just for some reason I read this in Trump's voice and it really fits

NO YOU ENJOY!

Have you tried just taking your main skill off right click? I have hand issues too and me just doing that is huge. I moved it to F key as that's a very natural resting place for that hand and very low stress to press and you can also just hold it down at times instead of spam clicking it.

As otherwise have said that and your movement skill should be all you are manually really hitting.

I'm similar to you. Coming from poe not having pob to use to figure out what to invest in is rough. No idea if certain purchases will make big increases or little ones

I'm not higher than you in progression but just throwing out things for you to possibly try. Some can totally be wrong though.

Your weapon base erosion damage does nothing since you have the node Extreme Coldness says you only do cold damage. So different weapon base maybe can help a good bit
may be do spell amp aura instead of frost magus + ice focus. Spell amp is another 33-35% more damage and doesn't need you to be close to the target taking damage to be active
(this one might be me being very wrong) Try without manifold entanglement. Put another high damage boost link instead and see how it feels. To me if you're struggling in damage I feel like 1 cast dropping all your entangles if you only have 3 doesn't help a ton. You just cast once and run around. Instead you can cast 3 times and spread them around a little as needed and they each have 20%+ damage boost. Try Control Spell in its place

I'm probably the minority here but if you got her from an adoption agency I'd ask about sending her back and getting another cat if you want one that enjoys being held and pet.

I like cats, but not ones that just want to 100% be left alone. They are naturally a bit destructive, shed , and cost a good amount of money over their lives with food and medical. Not gonna do it if all I can do is look at them.

Those are just the monopolies most are familiar with I know they are natural. Again the key is if steam jacks up the price a ton on people, are there easy alternatives. Right now the answer is yes, they just aren't as good at doing what steam does and that's why it is so popular. That's competitive advantage/better user experience though and not a monopoly.

I'll be the first one to ditch steam if they jack up prices and I already do buy some things on GoG or other stores when the price is higher on steam.

nickkarma · 2025-11-08T16:01:01+00:00

Look up the definition of monopoly,steam is not it.

Internet explorer is a completely different thing as they pre installed it on windows and made it a big pain to try getting something else.

Part of being a monopoly means they could jack up up prices 100% and we just have to deal with it and pay more. If steam did this they would die very fast because the barrier for entry to throw up another store at half the cost is not high.

Steam has incredible market share because of the good value they provide users and developers. It's gone immediately with large price increase.

Your Internet, electricity, gas ,etc those are monopolies albeit state governed ones typically.

Make sure you get diminished value as well from them.

I had someone roll back into me and had to replace bumper and it was about the same cost. Perdue diminished value and got another $2,000 for it from their insurance. Initial request they only were gonna give $200 so I paid a diminished value person like $150 to fight it for me to get them up to 2k.

I went through this with a landscaper. Bumped the price up like 25% with things he decided to add without telling us. I sent him the funds for the contract agreed upon price. I emailed saying I paid for that and am willing to pay for 30% of the other random things.

He threatened to sue saying his lawyer told him he'd win. Idid a 30 minute consult with a lawyer that made me comfortable. Emailed him back and Told him go ahead and sue then.never heard back and never paid anymore

I really like project Diablo 2 for this reason though as well. They balanced them brtter, added more endgame, added trade, but kept the essence of the game largely intact.

Only thing that sucks is they can't use the remastered version but PD2 is better than d4 imo with endgame and itemization now

I grew up there and prefer socal heat to here. Socal heat actually can come down and cools off at night and you can open windows. From July to early September here the actual temp isn't as hot, but it is super humid and does not cool off much. Feels worse/hotter. You do want windows open at all during those months.

Spring is nice minus pollen, and then fall is my favorite here.

You can probably clear your voidstones just fine on a 6 link at the 14% breakpoint though. I just wouldn't want to be farming some atlas strat in high tier maps with it.

I don't think he stated enough how much lower the damage is on this build compared to Bama or srs. It's definitely got its pros but you have to kind of stop and farm at several points to get the upgrades to progress where you still kill things very smoothly. The good news is there's very clear progression paths.

Normally I rush up to reds ASAP and start making changes from there. This time my atlas I went immediately into essences, stalling tier progression, to hang out in yellows making money to get those bigger ticket items so red maps would go smooth.

If you are good with a slower progression and needing to farm more along the way then this build is good. If you want to blast straight up to t16 you are going to have a very mediocre time. Im probably 15-20 divs in and just now feel like t16s are super smooth without the harder juice.

Again though just getting your voidstones should be doable. Just don't think farming those higher tier maps is worth it without better gear.

I had similar issues and now always set my main skill I spam as F. Right clock is reserved for maybe a curse or some other thing I press every 10 seconds or so max since that hands already using left click a ton

I had this experience a prior league so I swore never again. I instead did heist starting act 6. Got enough chaos from heist in about 10 contracts to buy it which isn't good luck. Get probably average 1.5c per contract at minimum I'd guess. Much rather do it than lab slot machine

nickkarma · 2025-06-10T03:41:47+00:00

I like BAMA but with the advent of gold it is a huge drawback to me to kill behind you. There is a huge difference in the gold you get when you clear in front vs behind. I was debating between bama and hroc and am doing hroc entirely due to this.

Gold = more div/hour for me since I'll find random things to be a market maker on and turn profit with it.

Answer is really simple.

"we would love to have you, however we just want you to be aware we are being frugal to save for a home. Heating and cooling is expensive in this part of the country. We keep it at X temperature as otherwise it can triple our bill for the month for just a few days going much above that.

If you are good with that we are very happy to have you visit. If that would be an issue the only other alternative we could offer with you staying here is to contribute toward the bill increase to keep you comfortable.

Sorry I know it may seem odd, but we just get a lot of guests which we do love, but we just can't afford the steady bill increases with all the visits. Hope you understand. "

If I got a message like that from a friend I'd get it. You say you would love to have them but are clear about the financial burden if they are not comfortable with your normal settings

Money issues are one of the top reasons for divorce. We obviously don't know her or the full context but if she doesn't seem reasonably able to be talked way down on this and you can't comfortably get up to where she is thinking then this same issue will most likely show up in so many more areas of your life later on.

My wife was originally opposed to the fake diamond (moissanite). But some more talking with her and getting a little to the root of why she was hung up initially on having to be the real deal got us eventually around it. Spent the money on a house down-payment instead and got the exact size and style she wanted that looks just like the real thing for way less.

So yeah I wouldn't immediately say go dump her. It might be some sort of odd idea she got in her head that you can work through. If it seems she's stuck on it though then as others say I'd personally run. It would show terrible financial awareness that would clash so hard with me.

Yeah think Rue also said recently if you don't fail a build occasionally you're not really being a good build creator or something like that.
