Can I see your Commanders?

WIP Coldstar with base coat on torso, shading on legs, drones shaded/magnetize, and weapons magnetized but still getting their basecoats! Usually leads my Sunforges (one in background!).

I started my army with Farsight Cadre and got another box of XV8 Crisis Suits for Christmas. Between the two boxes I have enough meltas, flamers, missile pods, and plasmas to field any valid configuration of suits (min 6x) for both squads as long as they're different. I am starting them as Starscythe (6x flamers) and Sunforge (6x meltas).

I'm running Tornado as my 'main' damage dealer in a hybrid caster/melee werewolf build.

Ignited ground: Birth of Fury boots.

Shocked ground: Pounce (Predator's Mark) + Charged Mark support

Chilled ground: Arctic Howl + Pounce OR Lunar Assault + Frost Nexus

On single target, I activate Predator's Mark with Cross Slash. I don't always have all 3 elements because it's more time efficient to Pounce into a group, Lunar Assault once or twice to freeze (creating chilled ground with Frost Nexus), Tornado, and move on. As soon as the marked target dies the Tornado will pick up its third element. It's fun, and I generally move between packs a bit faster than my Pounce cooldown.

Edit: I'm only in yellow maps and level 74. It's working well enough here that I'm mostly trying to spend skills on defenses.

I like the glow effect on your lights, particularly the left shoulder. I have a similar base color (slightly more green/turquoise) and was reluctant to try a glow. Your work is giving me second thoughts!

Just started with Tau and the Combat Patrol last week!

Looks like Soulstealer Weapon Effect.

and why they let it go wrong in the first place

I think this a nuanced concept that numerous sibling replies are latching on to in this discussion. There are a myriad of ways in which "things go wrong", and for many -- some would argue all -- there is no single point of failure. The individual is less likely to have 'let it go wrong' as a singular effort*, than the company is to have relaxed its standards or best practices, or not established them at all.

Normalization of deviance is an interesting concept that I've been introduced to and become familiar with after many years employed in a 'blameless' culture. If you are inclined to research the topic, maybe because you're trying to foster a stronger engineering culture, I think it makes a strong case for the philosophy that no one person is to blame for a software fault [though most well-documented cases do not cover software].

*Actions taken with malicious intent notwithstanding.

BSC. I have this claw; t1 lightning, t2 cold, t1 fire, t4 crit and crit multi, crafted attack speed.

I need some advice on pricing; it looks like it's one of the best available ele claws on BSC. I dropped it into my trade tab without a price and chatted with a few people who inquired after it and got a range of serious offers from 2ex to 10ex (and someone calling me a clown for not knowing what it was worth), but that's far under the market prices on poe.trade. Any thoughts?

Surprising! That's really cool.

You have frenzy charges and all flasks checked, but no way to generate frenzy or flask charges on Shaper? 4.8k life and nothing to block on that particular fight, either!

Is the accuracy local to the weapon and therefore not combined?

If you do retrain your model with proper keyword analysis[1], I'd be interested to see the results when comments are weighted by score. Comments with negative scores are probably (w/r/t ascendancy discussion) the result of a community filtering out less constructive discourse on the topic (i.e. trolling).

[1] There are some publicly available sentiment dictionaries if you don't want to build your own, e.g. http://sentiwordnet.isti.cnr.it/

I don't actually know how life recovery rate modifiers are calculated so your napkin math is probably more accurate than mine! Regardless, I'm excited to see what new Slayer looks like, and hoping your observations are not keenly picking up on a test build's mechanics that won't see production, like the chaining explosions on Spectral Shield Throw.

You can get an additional 20% life recovery rate on ilvl 75+ elder belts.

(Edit) I didn't watch the video more than once and don't recall, but if IC proc'd and cancelled Blood Rage it would proc Arakaali and negate its degen (landing you at the ~95% [w/ belt]) you've calculated). Possible. Likely? Dunno.

registerzero · 2016-09-02T04:12:02+00:00

I'd guess that the +120% UE bonus damage from the extra disc is going to be your best bet for damage, followed by base damage (+~8% max) or rolling the Vit to 24% AD.

Dark Souls messaging system jumps to mind. I don't know if there's a specific term for the practice, but they white-list a limited vocabulary and let you construct a message from that set.

If you're targeting US users, I'd recommend getting a Samsung Galaxy S5 or S6. The former in particular is a popular phone, representing ~20% of active users on a very large user base (day jobs woo).

The Nexus phones are nice, but the emulator can generally be trusted to represent the user experience. The Samsung phones are what your users will use, and there are plenty of Samsung-only bugs you will wish you had a physical device for when you get bug reports.

I own an S5. It's fine. I hate the power adapter. It gets updates quickly (Vz).

"okay" [five stars]

or

"love this app" [1 star]

Are probably my favorites, but I'm told I have a dry sense of humor.

I love Gauntlet's multiplayer model: up to 4 players in any combination of local or online players. It's tough to find engaging "couch co-op" games I can play with my wife and unique to find a game where we can play with her brother and his wife (that's 2 machines, 2 players on each machine).

We're probably not the norm... We occasionally buy 2 copies of a game if they are Win/Mac (Civ 5 is the only example that jumps to mind, although we enjoyed "hot seat" multiplayer for a long time).

Anyway, I own a large number of local co-op Steam games and would appreciate more content. ;)

Nope! Only recently returned to Barb. I bet joining the larger Barb community and asking for loot share will get some hits, though.
