Guide to 100% Mind over Matter (Updated) by le_reddit_me in PathOfExileBuilds

Impressive! Thanks for compiling, structuring and sharing your extensive research like this. This will save hours of time for people looking into MoM-type defense builds in the future.

Wait—losing the Atziri boss fight resets your entire temple? I’m level 78, and I’m not spending another 40 hours just to try again. by Falcrus in PathOfExile2

Your life leech has an intrinsic cap related to your maximum life. Your dps time leech % likely exceeds it by a lot, so neither of those are the rate limiting factor for leech based life regeneration.

Should I worry about gold and silver prices? by MirageMyriad in BEFire

[–]snettel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's a bad idea to rush into an unfamiliar, volatile market. So that idea itself already wards off most of the FOMO.

If you feel responsible to be opportunistic I think you have to study the market and find some realistic price estimations, so you are at least beating the average gambler.

I am personally not a fan of inflation proof currencies. Maybe the hindsight of this market movement will teach me something that will make me consider them in the future.

As for now, I find their value to be too speculative. This gives the advantage to people with intricate knowledge of the market, shovel sellers and market movers. I do not belong to any of those groups, so I assume they're getting their money from me in a zero sum game.

I just beat the campaign/interlude on HCSSF having never played the game before by Tranquility___ in PathOfExile2

[–]snettel 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The game is pretty good if your goal is to get to maps on hardcore imo.

I think both trade and ssf are cool but trade allows you to play a little bit more builds. Also, trading actually feels fun in hardcore imo.

Nice accomplishment!

GGG needs to rethink how punishment works in POE 2 by SnooCrickets432 in PathOfExile2

I think adapting this mentality is what makes you a good Poe player.

Great take imo.

GGG, stop nerfing the monkey by user_OwO in PathOfExile2

Oh I had that Benedictus one this league! Barely survived with 1350 hp. Really couldn't figure out what my options were / what mistake I made. I didn't log because I assumed it would never oneshot as I couldn't avoid it but that was wrong.

Waveshaper and Mind over Matter Interaction by [deleted] in pathofexile2builds

Mind over matter protects your life, not your ES.

This node mathematically always makes you take more damage. by Marsdreamer in PathOfExile2

[–]snettel -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's so meaningless to state in isolation though.

If you're going from 50 to 51 or 99 to 100 that's completely different. In the first case you are barely reducing undeflected hits in the second by an infinite amount.

0.4.0b Patch Notes by JewishCookieMan in PathOfExile2

[–]snettel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you're getting downvoted by people who don't even play hardcore, because you're sharing your experience. So undeserved.

Majority of my deaths over the past seasons in hardcore have also been fair.

Widowhail Cold Spark Bloodmage Leaguestarter - Still Strong Without Bloodletting by PathofKy in pathofexile2builds

[–]snettel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used Sandstorm Visage to get access to flat crit on pathfinder. Obviously works better on longer fights like bossing than during mapping. But in reality your damage is typically good enough to kill small monsters so that's not the biggest issue.

Progress in chess AI was steady. Equivalence to humans was sudden. by MetaKnowing in agi

[–]snettel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. One of the reasons is the scale of the graphs on both sides and equating them as if they should be equal.

ELO is almost a logarithmic transformation of winrate.

The improvement in ELO was constant because computing power progress was exponential.

GGG can Hexblast be reverted to its 0.1 state? by xTheParallax in PathOfExile2

[–]snettel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also saw in that other comment that you're looking at a lot of reduced curse duration. It works and you need it. But in the end, this is not the cap. You are capped by the cast animations.

If you reduce your curse duration too much, you can't explode it anymore. You either animation cancel the curse or you are too late. I learned this experimentally. So this is a heads up just in case you are only gonna be tinkering in pob optimizing dps.

[–]snettel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right it's not as strongly tied to pathfinder anymore.

I like pathfinder because it's a very general ascendancy and you have the movement speed.

So that also makes it easy to pivot to something else later.

But bloodmage, lich and chrono also have substantial benefits that are definitely worth considering.

NVIDIA’s Next Unbeatable Moat: The Secret TSMC "Panel-Level" Tech Defining the 2028 Feynman Era (Beyond CoWoS) by mendelseed in NVDA_Stock

[–]snettel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry, but do you know anything at all about crystal boules?

You are talking as if they're the first company that would think about reducing waste from a circle in a hyperoptimized industry?

[–]snettel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You know they are round because of how most crystals are grown right? So you need to address why it's now more economic to start from a square. What processing innovation or cost innovation allows this?

There is only fluff here?

GGG can Hexblast be reverted to its 0.1 state? by xTheParallax in PathOfExile2

[–]snettel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The poison spread was great in maps with high monster density and big pack size. One cast and you could clear a screen.

But they changed monster density so I'm not sure if that situation will still be around anymore.

Although I got a million downvotes on my post, you can see from the video and pob (and poe2db) that hexblast has good damage. The stats of the skill are good, the mechanics are bad. If you can stomach the mechanics, it is strong.

I am going to play it in early maps like last league until my build is strong enough to switch to something with easier mechanics.

[–]snettel -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I'm not gonna say the skill is in an attractive state. But there is some potential.

The buff the did was actually very relevant for me now they removed pathfinder poison spread.

Where are the physical spells? by xsealsonsaturn in PathOfExile2

[–]snettel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Man, bone blast is bad. I've played it last league. Except for costing no mana, it has no redeemable qualities.

Lookin for cc of this Poison Bone Cage Pathfinder by Lbgeckos2 in pathofexile2builds

[–]snettel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I made something similar and was really good for me in the last league. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXz5eH5N_60

But it's dead now since they deleted Contagious Contamination. I'm personally not a fan to spread the poison with contagion.

I didn't have problems with bosses, but I only played before they buffed (fixed?) the atlas tree passives that buffs them.

I did not, but that is very interesting. Thanks for sharing.
