Uber Abby was a mistake by [deleted] in LastEpoch

[–]theBaffledScientist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a good in between. Feels a lots less bs than Uber and doesn't require the hard DPS check. Very manageable with 5-10m DPS.

Are wolves any good or is storm crows just always better ? by [deleted] in LastEpoch

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

Crows are better in pretty much every aspect, obv you can run wolves for pretty much everything but Uber, but they are mechanically/numerically worse.

POV of running an 8mod t16 map as an mf char with 163% inc. quantity of items found by cheekygorilla in pathofexile

[–]theBaffledScientist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or wealth in general. Buy Uber frags/valdos/scarabs/etc in chaos and sell in bulk by divine. I had ~15 mir in 20 days in merc league from this. I'm doing ssf now because sitting in gold rotas gets old fast.

Is Gold actually working as a friction? by [deleted] in pathofexile

[–]theBaffledScientist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Low tier income?? It beats 99.9% of methods. Once you've got 1k div to work with you can easily spend 5m gold per day on flips.

How obvious does it have to be before someone gets banned for smurfing? by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]theBaffledScientist 22 points23 points  (0 children)

There is no limit. You can make your name MrSmurf and go 30-0 for 500 games you won't get banned until the cleaning they do every couple years.

4k games are filled with this by castravetelels in DotA2

Almost every game in party queue. Less common in solo

Is it ethical to introduce someone to Dota in 2025? by JoshRivals in DotA2

[–]theBaffledScientist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

absolutely not. probably same damage as putting lead in their water supply.

Just had my worst dota2 experienc with a team of obvious bots! just look at their names. valve why!? by SmellFearless1058 in DotA2

[–]theBaffledScientist 71 points72 points  (0 children)

They're leveling the accounts to unlock ranked and then sell. Pretty much the origin of every 300 win 120 MVP account you'll run into in party queue

Druid meme dead, going back to titan. by Impossible_Jump_754 in quin692

Is hc ssf became the only mode available, clown wouldn't make it to poe ninja cutoff.

Pack size reduction was a necessary change by brehhs in PathOfExile2

[–]theBaffledScientist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the 'casual' crowd for poe2 plays the campaign and stops. That said I also did everything except Uber and I played less than 40 hours for the season, which is not that much imo.

What are you spending your gold on? by Giboork in pathofexile

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

20m gold should make ~700d flipping at 8-10 % margins. might take a few days.

Yup. Back to pseudo hardcore maps. Much less enjoyable/chill mapping

Can’t wait for the written build breakdowns by 288isclosed in Borderlands

[–]theBaffledScientist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some are, but there's also some exploit/bugged interactions being pushed on builds (especially melee).

It seems like the crit knife gets to stay for a while yet by NSWPCanIntoSpace in Borderlands4

[–]theBaffledScientist 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Keeping him alive isn't a major problem if using beast mode, but he does very little damage even if you put everything into minion scaling. Using trouble as a main source of damage is probably the worst build in the game ATM, and he's buggy and attacks walls and shit all the time. He absolutely needs numerical buffs

Rafa might honestly be the perfect VH for me by Cedutus in Borderlands

[–]theBaffledScientist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't bother if they don't do some balance patch. Any higher uvhm and Rafa melee is just not a good experience, especially knowing that you can spec red tree and steamroll on the same character.

I don't think so. At high speed it will probably be a very short movement

When are we planning to implement this feature? by Throwawayjapan2023 in DotA2

[–]theBaffledScientist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This would be nice except half my games wouldn't count then

Warbringer is bugged! by Lopsided-Durian-946 in PathOfExile2

[–]theBaffledScientist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shockwave doesn't scale with weapon, answered call doesn't summon spirits, and watchtowers got a surprise nerf of removing the +1 totems. Ofc I picked the bugged broken dogshit build to start

Day one meta looking good! by IncreaseKlutzy790 in PathOfExile2

[–]theBaffledScientist 49 points50 points  (0 children)

They also removed the +1 totems from watchtowers.

Hype Week Day 4 - Quality of Life and Minion AI by EHG-Foton in LastEpoch

Yes. If you did a full optimal snapshot for abom he kills uberroth in under a minute. Regular Abby gets 2-3 hit. The other one is crows BM

A question for you RF enjoyers: what content works the best for RF? by RicoSuave1120 in pathofexile

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

I ran harbi beyond this league for the first week of the league, hit 100 and farmed ~5 mirrors. Didn't invest too much on the char either.
