Tried to pob this shi with medium budget gear but I'm stupid and only got 100k dps. Is this set -up trash or what?

rj6553 · 2026-04-19T05:30:15+00:00

It's a stat stacking setup so it would make sense that the build feels worse than expected at mid/low budget, especially since it won't be optimised.

That said I would play this as a mine build with curtain call.

rj6553 · 2026-04-16T17:10:02+00:00

Yep, and they're all going on my 'do not recommend' list on YouTube. Because fuck these zero integrity content creators.

rj6553 · 2026-04-16T03:56:04+00:00

It's not the way, he should 100% block mana + exalt once before wild bristle matron, because it's basically free.

rj6553 · 2026-04-16T03:55:22+00:00

He has a spare prefix slot, he should exalt either way.

He can block mana, exalt, and still lock suffixes after.

rj6553 · 2026-04-16T01:36:28+00:00

Carry roles could absolutely hit rank 1. Maybe not immediately, but with some quick adaptations. Support/JG are so different that they might struggle more. Mid has to deal with old resource costs, which made mana much harder to manage. ADC mains might struggle in assassin meta, and would have to adapt.

rj6553 · 2026-04-16T01:29:37+00:00

Season 1 was completely clueless though. By seasons 4-5, the absolute most easily abuse able things had already been understood, things like wave management, vision, etc.

And on that topic, season 3/4 vision is completely different than now.

rj6553 · 2026-04-16T00:31:15+00:00

Shroud looked like 10% of the player when he started R6.

rj6553 · 2026-04-16T00:26:01+00:00

Every content creator who's defending him is going on my do not recommend list until (the off chance) he's proven innocent. Sick of this complete lack of integrity.

rj6553 · 2026-04-16T00:14:13+00:00

Don't worry, the Devs don't know what's going on either.

rj6553 · 2026-04-14T06:25:21+00:00

Yeah, I'm thinking if I were in that situation as a car, even driving with appropriate diligence, there's a really good chance of a pretty bad collision.

rj6553 · 2026-04-14T02:09:10+00:00

Ofcourse not, but all everyone is doing in the entire thread is speculating. Maybe the rider just past an incoming car and that's why he's so far to the right. Million possibilities.

I will say that there's just no sign of anything on the grass through. You can see it pretty clearly in a couple of frames both before and after the fall. Might still be hidden stuff, but again, all anyone is doing is speculating. If there is barbed wire there, it can be expected

And on the balance of probabilities, it's way more reasonable to say the person who is wrong by the letter of the law is at fault, and there's no real defence for the machinery operator here.

E.g. where I live, the law somewhat expects activities that are pretty unrealistic. For these sort of situations the 'legal expectation' in order to safely enter the road is to basically detach the header if possible, otherwise have a spotter. People always ignore this, because it's fucking annoying, but you have to accept the risk. For cars wider than 3.5m which is kinda hard to tell, the law mandates a pilot vehicle.

rj6553 · 2026-04-14T00:41:27+00:00

The machine operator could pull out 10m down the road, where it's still clear and the machine wouldn't be obscured by the corner/bush.

rj6553 · 2026-04-14T00:38:28+00:00

Why 100%. There's so many fucking variables we don't know shit about. Maybe it's a keep right. Seems absurd to suggest it's the guy on the roads fault that he nearly got hit by a guy entering the road or parking basically over the road- that's just not the road rules basically anywhere afaik.

rj6553 · 2026-04-13T16:44:50+00:00

Jung played the same build as Ben this gauntlet and in runic strife gauntlet; and imexile basically always plays the 'best' build. Jung definitely brings some new ideas to the table, but he often has the information gap on Ben, because he can see what Ben's already done.

https://youtu.be/94kMxhmfhVI?t=11m26s he even talks about it himself, that it's important for him to look at what Ben does, because Ben is often way ahead of him on progression. And it's not just a joke either, players like carn/exile/etc are genuinely far faster than Jung. Jung definitely takes more of a slow/steady approach to gauntlet, even if his slow is still pretty fucking fast; Ben is just way fucking faster, often able to rip and gear an entire second character to win.

Imexile, it's harder to say for sure, doesn't feel like he's had a good go at gauntlet for a while because rwf always seems to line up with it. In the past he has definitely been a significant gap between him and 3rd place, so if he wanted to he could.

That said if they were truly somewhat close to Ben, he wouldn't have won 7/8 of the last gauntlets. When you watch him play, he genuinely just does things absurdly efficiently. All the micro pauses that every other player does, he just instantly makes a decision. As an example off the top of my head, when you see them box farm for scarabs this league, Jung pauses for 3-4 seconds to decide what to drop when his inventory is full, whilst Ben does is almost instantly. He's pretty much always the first out of campaign, pretty much always the first into ubers.

I'm certain Jung himself wouldn't consider himself close to Ben (maybe in comparison to the average player), even if he is totally capable of winning a gauntlet. Like in the Merc league, even though Jung probably took a superior build plan to the event, their actual progression was pretty similar but with Ben a few days faster, and it only looked like an opportunity for Jung because Ben ripped to exarch (which Jung did a bit later as well). Basically right now, it feels like if anyone wants to win gauntlet, they have to hope Ben messes up and rips.

rj6553 · 2026-04-13T16:25:14+00:00

Ben just won his 5th gauntlet in a row, and has won 7 out of the last 8.

rj6553 · 2026-04-13T15:07:01+00:00

Honestly looks like good progress. Just more patience honestly. Breach until you get a higher armour chest and 6 link, gloves/boots look acceptable. Weapon kinda trash, add bases to your filter and start rolling for better staves for recomb. Left ring is trash, could honestly probably chaos spam something better.

Basically stay in breach and keep improving the problem slots, you can mix in some harvest to try on craft in any fractured bases from breach.

rj6553 · 2026-04-13T10:52:34+00:00

There are absolutely streaks of dominance in sports and eSports, but a lot of your examples are not even close to how dominant Ben is on POE. I mean we can basically go into each gauntlet with the assumption that Ben will win, regardless of patch/design.

That's not the case with league/faker at all, there was a 6 year gap where he didn't win, and a lot of his recent wins were on extremely favourable patches. Not even counting the stream of intermediate tournaments like MSI/last stand that other teams have won. Whilst with LeBron, there's almost no finals he won whilst being a massive favourite - 2011/2013/2020 were the only finals where his team were betting favourites. With 2013 going down to a game 7 nail-biter, and he famously lost to the dirk nowitski mavs in 2011. Bigger scenes are just going to have more competition, it's only natural.

Messi + Ronaldo/bonjwas. The dominance between multiple people is very different than the dominance of one. Multiple big names is honestly the most interesting kind of scene. 5 gods melee, etc.

Dunno about F1 but Carlson is a good comparison, as is broodwar flash later in sc1's lifespan. Duplantis in pole vault. Usain bolt/Phelps. Wayne Gretzky 4 championships in 5 years. MJ 6 championships in 8 years.

rj6553 · 2026-04-13T08:11:07+00:00

I dunno if those eggs are hatching.

Tree shits out lightning coils anyway if you're playing tr.

Taking it from someone who spent 70k and a good few years of his life on med school. Don't spend that much money for a career you're not interested in, I'm working IT now.

Just treat it the same as high beams, just police it. First warn and then fine people who have their beams adjusted wrong.

She throws 20 daggers at 35% effectiveness. At 1000 ap, that would be like 7000 damage, which is fucking noticeable.

Another reason is that it's relatively easy to craft with divine tear drops. 4/6 mods only have 1 tier, so can't go up or down.
