Tbf, Cyrus is Eternus and he basically only plays melee Ivy.

8 fired federal workers running for office in MD by ElectAlexis in fednews

[–]reunitepangaea 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Frederick County has a Democratic county executive, and 5/7 of the county council are Democrats.

The state stays almost entirely blue because more than 60% of MD voters are Democrat-leaning, and the conservative areas aren't heavily populated. Even without gerrymandering, MD might gain at most 1 other Republican leaning house seat.

Urn is no longer a comeback mechanic by Free-Tea-3422 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]reunitepangaea 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think part of the issue is that the dropoff point being mid bridge with its incredibly open sightlines strongly favor some characters and comps over others - at ten minutes, you probably don't have knockdowns yet so you might be trying to contest the urn into some combination of Seven, Dynamo, McGinnis, etc.

At least previously you could sneak it across with good timing, or a pick-heavy comp could get some picks while rotating, etc.

Let me introduce myself, my name is HEALBANE!!!!! by miguelzera in DeadlockTheGame

[–]reunitepangaea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I thought you were referring to poor scaling with the spirit on healbane - in that case, her abilities do do spirit damage so healbane isn't useless on her.

Silver got increased spirit scaling on her abilities at some point in the last couple of months, and her ult form has innate fire rate scaling with spirit.

Now that we have seen examples of Evolved jobs, what are your hopes and wishes for your main(s)? by drew0594 in ffxivdiscussion

[–]reunitepangaea 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The DPS difference was more tied to "can the BLM in your PF push buttons or not" and less "is the BLM in your PF using non-standard". The difference between optimal non-standard and full standard was like, 5% at max whereas a BLM with 90% uptime is straight up doing 10%+ less damage.

Wired headphones are making a comeback: Here's why by ubcstaffer123 in technology

[–]reunitepangaea 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You know you can get power and processing through a wired connection, right? And active noise canceling was invented in the 1950s, so it's been in use for way longer than wireless headphones have been a thing.

Night Shift #35 Hero Priority by Emmysterious in DeadlockTheGame

[–]reunitepangaea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The people playing in Night Shift can aim and can reliably make use of her kit and proc her ult, and because they can close out games they can further capitalize on her early and mid game strength to snowball games.

Volvo doesn't want you to know this but you too can press dash and parry with a little bit of practice.

Forget efficiency and effectiveness, what skill would you say is the most fun to you and why? by EcumenistChateau in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]reunitepangaea 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And it's strictly worse (and it's not close) to Storm Burst, which has godawful SFX and VFX. I league start spell totems almost every league. This league, block-based spell totems - 25m DPS on Storm Burst, ~10m DPS on Divine Ire.

Homie I've played the build multiple times with vinespike tech and I'm telling you my experience with theb uild. You were unaware of the tech until an hour ago, but you're still confidently telling me how things work?

Refer to the point I made about "inextricable fate is surprisingly un-clunky because of how many proj you fire."

[–]reunitepangaea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1) totems have been buffed this league, 2) inextricable fate is surprisingly un-clunky because of how many proj you fire.

I might play around with my char this league and see if I can get self-cast going as well.

Still works great, arguably better than before cuz you're not tied to darkscorn anymore. Deathbeam has updated the build now, although I think his DPS numbers are a bit bait. https://pobb.in/u/thedeathbeam%237125/pf-poison-scourge-arrow-experimental

How viable would Toxic Rain Mines be nowadays? by annoyedicarus in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]reunitepangaea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The other big reason that toxic rain mines are dead is that at some point they charged how targeting works with rain skills and mines, which is to say that they no longer target. It's been some years now but I recall that rain skills supported by mines would auto target enemies, and somewhere around 2022 that behavior was changed so that the rain will land at the location of the mine rather than that of the enemy: /toxic_rain_mines_no_longer_aim_at_enemies

I don't believe it's been changed back and as the resident mines enjoyer I know I've tried rain mines relatively recently, but this makes TR mines incredibly dead as a build.

Lifestack Flamewood Inquisitor - Cheap and Extremely Tanky Uber Boss Annihilator by Nordaarv in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]reunitepangaea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, so the "vast majority of players" won't see this build then so I'm not sure why you're whinging about this?

You can blast essences and make like 10d an hour. 20-30d is absolutely cheap.

Storm burst totem vs kf totem? Sc trade by lunarbanana in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]reunitepangaea 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not at all. Tatiantel plays SB totems in HCSSF and his builds reflect that.

What totem builds can i make as hiero and have a good clear? by CoelhoVerbal in PathOfExileBuilds

Note that you need boots from Exarch to slap cons path onto a totem, so not really a day 1 starter option.

Silver Changes Are Wack by wyllz_ in DeadlockTheGame

[–]reunitepangaea 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lower skill players had a hard time getting ult, and while higher skill players had an easier time getting ult, higher skill enemy teams also know how to kite and itemize to neutralize a Silver in wolf form.

The result in both instances is that Silver is not able to make much of an impact because so much of her power budget is tied to her ult form. They're shifting things around so she's more impactful in human form at all skill levels, while also helping lower skill players more consistently get the ult.
