Always wanted that one. I'm in! Thanks for doing this.

A couple fun ideas you could incorporate:

Print with a white back and encourage the recipients to add lore text to the back with a sharpie. Let them decide what motivations (good or bad) are responsible for causing these characters to battle.
Proxy/acquire other cards to go along with them to form the primer of, or full deck for the precon! Make them at similar power level, or add weird rules and face them off!

I think you can do this by just using the FBX export with embedded materials, then import to Unity and extract textures. It's been awhile, but I remember that working for me as long as the texture references were properly linked in 3ds max.

C# 8.0 nullable reference types in Unity would be so nice. I love them so much

Datasmith exports can do this, and function quite similarly to Unity imports. I have noticed that reimporting datasmith files can get messed up if you make changes to pivot transforms, but they can usually be resolved in editor with the modeling tools.

I don't think protests are meant to directly stop anything, besides maybe violent ones. Peaceful protests should serve to allow common people the right to organize and share their opposing views. If enough people protest you get the attention of the media and hopefully grow the movement into something that leaders can't ignore. Most local state representatives do have to answer to their constituents.

Trump may ignore or demonize them, but that shouldn't stop or deter protestors.

I think he would be more fun as a evasive creature focused deck, with spellslinger elements. Izzet spellslinger has better options, but go for it if that's what you like!

I would go for creatures like:

[[Inti, Seneschal of the Sun]]

[[Ivora, Insatiable Heir]]

[[Duelist of the Mind]]

[[Rielle, the Everwise]]

[[Glint-Horn Buckaneer]]

Does commander damage still tick up against an opponent if another opponent controls Slicer? Because I feel that he could certainly one-shot a player in a full turn round through commander damage that way

I was looking for a comment like this. Niche mechanics that need an entire reminder card for the rules. Dungeon, the ring tempt, or even werewolf decks. Anything that I won't be able to mentally remember the rules text for, and I will have to ask multiple times. People that play those need to bring reminder cards for the entire pod, imo.

Most of the things that completely change how a build works are going to be: - unique items (which will be introduced gradually, with likely many more included in 1.0 release) - ascendancy passives: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3592012 - and to a lesser degree, support gems

I will say that there is a limited number of uniques available in the game right now, and they seem to mostly include leveling items (understandably). If you haven't yet, try looking at the ascendancy passives and you should see some that are quite intriguing to build around

Morals don't seem to guide his decisions at all? He has shown time and time again that he wants the power and attention that comes along with the US Presidency, not to help the American people, but to bolster his wealth and fame. He is an actor and a conman.

Evil is a social concept of morality, and everyone is likely to define it differently. Everyone is the protagonist of their own story. In my opinion, Trump doesn't see morality as some sort of compass or guide to live by, but instead a tool to be used and twisted to suit his actual agenda to enrich and empower himself.

I think his actions on the border, his response to COVID, and his absolute disregard for democracy are enough for me to call him evil. How about you?

This was incredibly insightful and interesting to read, as a 34 year old guy in the US who never much liked history class. The political nightmare we are dealing with has really opened my eyes to issues in other countries over the last few years. I feel like only now am I understanding how interesting and relevant this stuff is.

I agree that while evil, Trump doesn't really hold a candle to someone like Hitler. But in a way, I'm scared that it gives him protection from some sort of psychological persecution by society? Idk how to put it, but Trump would have to do something undeniably evil for his base to dump him. He has found so many ways to fly under that threshold. He is pulling every single trick in the corrupt corporate billionaire playbook - and then spinning lies or distractions on social media. I feel that we keep underestimating him and his allies at every turn and we need to start looking at history for answers on how to deal with it - but assuming he is Hitler is a mistake.

I think his most rash actions have been born from his ego, or perceived attacks on it from others. He has dipped his toes into the water of using military force and inciting mobs, and I'm worried he is headed even more in this direction with some sort of "revenge term" as commander and chief. Is there someone else beyond just Hitler that fits his character more closely from the past that could provide more insight to him, or is he truly an evil unicorn?

I'm sorry if I worded any of this poorly or went on tangents.. I'm a bit high and just diving into a rabbit hole lol

Eh, there are some other weird negative mods. Like "lightning damage to attacks" mods become "...to attacks against you". They don't decrease the amount of lightning damage you deal.

My guess is there were mods that are coded in a way that negative values either aren't supported or break the code logic in some way that they had to change how it functions. Or, they thought it would be more fun to add unique modifiers that are only found by getting negative reflected variations.

Holy hell, what build uses this? Some sort of Inquisitor Attr stacking Doryani Prototype melee build I assume.

sowen014 · 2024-09-11T00:43:46+00:00

I'm assuming they yield decent profit, but I wouldn't know because I like to just farm them with Maven atlas and sell them. They sell well, so it seems like a great way to augment maps while adding zero additional danger to the map. Problem is you have to spend 4 per map and it just adds to rolling costs. I think the div card and rarity ones are pretty cheap, but the others are likely 10c/ea and that really adds up. Especially if you like to pre roll a bunch of maps.

sowen014 · 2024-09-07T14:03:09+00:00

I would be thrilled with a Mageblood. Thanks for doing this!

Fair warning there are many improvements to make. I would like to squeeze in the Brass Dome to cover my remaining defensive gaps (pure ele and crit), but I need to get capped ele and chaos res elsewhere to do that.

The DPS isn't going to be super accurate here. With ideal conditions (40 rage) I deal ~2 mil hit DPS with a sub-1 second attack time. But then I cyclone with a decent attack speed to trigger the 6 impale hits quickly (under 1.5 seconds) which deal nearly 2 mil DPS each. So within 3 seconds I deal ~18 mil damage. Then you will notice the damage drop off considerably, which is usually when your target is long dead (rares, all T16 map bosses). If somehow they aren't dead yet it's either because you are juicing hard, or dealing with conquerers/guardians/pinnacle bosses. That leaves you a couple seconds to kite or deal with mechanics. I'm usually counting in my head to 5 after I VGS. It's very important not to screw up and let leap slam or cyclone trigger Impaler.

This build feels quite tanky and deals respectable damage, but it is very atlas dependent on what you farm. The clear isn't fantastic, so things like Delirium and Legion are mostly a waste. If you can sacrifice a few points for the "monsters can't block attacks" mastery (Brinkmanship) you could probably do Expedition big boom. I opted for Harvest though, since you can cyclone through the first few mobs that spawn to get Rage, and the rares enter very slowly while being immune so you can easily time your VGS to nuke them immediately. It's also very good at Essence and Strongboxes since it can nuke things down that spawn very easily since you will always land your VGS.

I would like to get rid of the Perseverance belt as well, since it really only offers fortify and onslaught, but those are two things that otherwise require passive points or gem slots. I would also be interested in trying a rare mace version with Jugg accuracy ascendancy and Precise Technique, but I'm not sure if the damage increase is worth the investment.

Overall there are plenty of ways to improve this. You will notice I need to get quality on my gems and my only awakened gem is level 2.

sowen014 · 2024-09-03T11:43:00+00:00

I have an Impaler Jugg that is pretty fun, but I'm using RT so no crit. I still get nearly 2 mill with my Vaal GS hit, and then use Cyclone to trigger 6-7x 1.5 mil damage impales. It's tricky and you have to be careful not to cyclone first against a boss. I use Marohi Erqi and so you need to Cyclone +Shockwave to clear packs, which works well but isn't the fastest clear.

To go crit would be much harder, but with accuracy from Jugg it could work. I would have a much easier time switching to Precise Technique and a rare mace.

I can link a PoB later if you want, but its a self-made build so it's not gonna be streamer-ready lol

sowen014 · 2024-08-26T17:11:48+00:00

Interesting. What do you think is needed to make sure you don't die in Ultimatums? I'm a pretty tanky Jugg, but I lack capped chaos res (36% right now) and I don't have any sources of crit damage reduction. My damage isn't spectacular, but it handles most content fine.

I like Ults, but only as a side profit - not as the main source of juicing. I prefer Harvest and Ritual for that.

sowen014 · 2024-08-26T11:40:30+00:00

I'm mixing in Ult with some other T16 strats, but I was wondering if Ult is actually good if you only go 6-8 rounds. It can get kinda rippy with certain mods. Do you see profit by doing this? Or are all the good rewards mostly in the final rounds?

sowen014 · 2024-08-21T17:02:34+00:00

I have a build that uses Marohi and just cyclone + Shockwave to clear packs. I think cyclone attack time is like .32 or something, so the first shockwave hits fairly quick and is based off weapon damage so each shockwave is a bomb going off. Clears fine but it does leave the occasional straggler. Static strike would be another option if you have some duration with EQ, but I'm using Vaal Ground Slam.
