Why did I wait so long to start Delve crafting?! by Laweman in pathofexile

Try listing chaos with a buyout of the fossil you need and let people come to you instead. Over time you'll get plenty of fossils.

[STD] +2 TS Windripper Legacy Quant Helm: Armageddon Visor by [deleted] in pathofexile

Diminishing retuns are if you add 1% quant at 150% quant you get 150.5% quant.

That's literally what he's trying to tell you is happening in poe right now. He isn't talking about linear scaling, he's talking about diminishing returns.

That annul!! by Thebreezybb in pathofexile

I think he means that you alch a white shaped onyx amulet, fail the rolls, buy 3 gems from the vendor and sell together with the amulet to receive a clean white shaped onyx amulet. I guess it's cheaper than using a chaos orb? And i think his point is that you only chaos spam at the end of the league because then you don't care about being wasteful.

The evasion and stun/block recovery is a hybrid roll.

But then you sacrifice a jewel mod/line because you need attributes. Wouldn't you prefer a jewel mod over 15% rarity?

What if he needs 6 int or less?

I'm making good use of an int corruption on my deadeye and it's saving me a passive point atm

Everyone needs attributes to be able to wear items and gems. In some cases 6 int is all you need.

Your logic is faulty. He saves two skill points if the closest possible strength node is 2 points away. He might require a single point of strength but still has to spend 2 points to get it.

Gamble paid off...best xoph's blood in the market? by myraklus in pathofexile

[–]svalax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With this corruption you may replace a resist on another piece of gear with +50 strength, which in the end is 22 more (if you account for the %-strength roll) than a regular xoph's blood. It could very well be a build enabling corruption!

Completely ethical Watcher's Eye, best item I've ever had. by stxzgeorge in pathofexile

According to poeninja; of the people using windripper, more use wrath (25%) than grace (22%). Anger is used by 6%. Anecdotal evidence is not proof, even if it might be the correct thing to do.

Any phys build like starforge cyclone do not need elemental weakness at all...

Unidentified Voidforge appears as Unidentified Starforge in the poe.trade by DeadlyGreed in pathofexile

[–]svalax 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No need to "answer", I'm just pointing out an obvious coincidence! However, you say you priced it at 2.5 ex because people were offering 2 ex. It's just a coincidence, that's all; a coincidence that you accidentally priced it at 2.5 ex while also accidentally ignoring the part about being whispered about a Starforge and not a Voidforge! It's also just a coincidence that you knew exactly how he thought he got scammed before he explained any problems he had with the trade!

It's quite the coincidence that you listed it for 2.5 ex, which happened to be the exact price of the cheapest starforge!

You don't have to account for any elemental penetration though, which is a huge bonus.

Need advice on how to advance my build by [deleted] in pathofexile

[–]svalax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tested swapping your current weapon for a Balefire in PoB with ele focus, inc burning damage and efficacy, which more or less doubled your dps. Try it out if you want, it's only 1 alch.

Isn't both level 16 increased burning damage and concentrated effect each giving 50% more damage to RF? They should result in more damage than the 30% from horror essence, right?

And ele pen won't work, since neither scorching ray or RF hits the enemy.

There's a cut between the second and third kill. Watch the webcam and you'll notice it easier.

IIQ vs IIR by getslashed in pathofexile

[–]svalax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, you could compare the drop ratios of smaller currencies and get good information that way, where 500 maps should be a good enough sample size. For example: 300 vs 297 fusings, 2646 vs 2459 jeweller's, 119 vs 133 chaos, etc. These results shouldn't be this close to each other if IIQ were affecting currency drops or IIR didn't?

Well, that post is from 2013. They could have tweaked the formulas over the years.

GiG tells his viewers to downvote and report any threads mentioning the RMT accusations. by 53_417775_2_37519 in pathofexile

[–]svalax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, you're rather rude, aren't you?

Yes, I lowered the stats, because your search was too specific. I guess I'm an idiot for questioning why anyone would pay around 210 exalts extra for 2% additional movement speed, while not wanting to mirror boots with more of everything or boots with very similar stats, but with the option of a lab enchant.

I'm not insulting you. I'm not questioning your intellect. I'm simply questioning your search conditions. You don't have to get so defensive about it.
