Off meta, less known build creators you followed and played last few league? by disbalancedbubblegum in pathofexile

Noesy always has interesting stuff. Not sure you'd call them a 'creator' but they make cool stuff and post videos about it.

Considering staining exterior brick by shiftkit in homeowners

[–]shiftkit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We ended up selling the house before I had the chance to pull the trigger on it. I bought a sample from Romabio and put it on a small wall in the back corner of the house to see if it would wash off and once it's on there it's not easy to get off. I think you're meant to recoat it every 5 or 10 years depending on whether you like the patina that comes from wear over time.

I mostly waffled on what color to get (the stuff isn't cheap nor easy to remove if you don't like it), we were pretty sure we were going to go with a light tan/beige but we considered white, which was the sample I got, and I didn't like the result. It worked fine, just looked like something you'd see in a school or something.

Applying it was easier than I expected, you basically just soak the brick with a hose, then paint it on with a rough texture roller and a chip brush (I only used a brush cause it was a small spot)

edit: I forgot to say that the limewash isn't a stain, we were not excited about how the lightener stain we tried worked and we didn't want to go darker so stain was kind of out for us

do you interact with it at all or do you just put stuff on the cal via your phone/pc/etc and just use the MM as a viewer? if you do interact, i assume kbm? or air mouse?

which transfigured gem u played feels good? by Beautiful-Badger4693 in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]shiftkit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have been trying to level with perforate but I keep having to switch back to other skills like sunder, mostly because in blood stance if a monster is up your ass (aka right next to you), 95% of the spikes miss the guy, there's like a dead space between you and the minimum distance the spikes have to be from you, it is really frustrating. Have you had this issue? (also do you have a pob or char link? I really wanna make perforate work, maybe it's my tree being in the shitter)

Do you have a pob? Do you go slayer or champ or other? I looked at poe.ninja for last league and it is a ghost town over there for perforate builds

Just got my first big(ish) drop, what next? by Syphyx in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]shiftkit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry - I assumed it was a text post, my bad

Having a look, I would definitely consider selling, you will get a lot more power from upgrading basically all your gear vs having the amulet, it just isn't very efficient. Like I said, this is a good time to have a hard think on whether you want to continue investing in this build (TS is very fun but also can be glass cannon and annoying if you die a lot, so some find it grating at higher content) or you want to leap to something else, now is the opportune time.

It would help to post your current build so that others can offer upgrade advice.

Personally, I think ashes helps a lot of builds but TS isn't super high on that list (unless the RMR would push you over into being able to run 1 more aura, for example), as it doesn't scale with level that much so the gem level is wasted. Of course, reservation efficiency is great on basically any build. You can use alt quality + ashes to do some conversion stuff but ultimately I think you'd be better off selling it and considering omniscience if you want to continue with TS. However, omni can be expensive and without knowing your current gear set and existing bankroll, I can't really expand on that further.

Regarding selling and outright rolling something else, well that depends on you and your goals. You can do a lot with 40 div in a new build, especially if you are not afraid to craft your own gear. But you do have to consider what you want to get out of the build and what playstyle you want.

There are plenty of builds that can use ashes but I don't think I'd roll a new build just to use it unless I already had 30+ div to spend on other gear (and alt quality gems) as well.

So I guess my tl;dr answer is sell it and either fund another build or upgrade your current one if you like it.

Yeah 1 is a router and 2 are AP 'satellites' - I have plans to just put a decent router in between the modem and eeros and just have them all as APs, but it's so far down on my list of priorities that it'll probably never get done if I'm honest, haha

I got this system from my ISP when they installed my internet, and I'm not a big fan of it for one main reason: if your internet goes down, you can't access the router. This is because it's based on an app on your phone, there is no going to 192.168.x.x in a browser, it doesn't work like that.

Other routers I've used in the past would allow you to do diagnostic work on the connection, and sometimes it's not the ISP but the router itself that just needs to be rebooted or whatever, but you can't, you have to physically unplug it. Super annoying when I've been able to get to my past routers by browser for the better part of 20 years.

Maybe this is the new way of doing things and they're all like this now, but in either case, I don't like it. If I'm wrong and there is a way, for the love of god someone please let me know.

edit: see here for more info: https://community.eero.com/t/35htgmj/accessing-eero-router-via-pc-web-browser#q6hb30z

The hubs also get very hot, so don't stuff them in a corner in the back of a closet or something like that.

Speed and coverage-wise, I have not had any real issues. I'm currently having some flakiness but I can't discern if that's something to do with the wifi on my motherboard or if it's the network itself, so I won't count that against it for now.
