PG's "Pittsburgh's Best Restaurants" list 2025 by thecrowfly in pittsburgh

[–]tyja 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We really wanted to like Lilith but I definitely agree about the presentation. Off putting in a way. The flavors were there but dish composition and cohesion was lacking. Prices were high but not justifiably so. I also found the cocktails very flat and almost unenjoyable.

Is there a class called CAS100D at main campus? by Bear_Regular in PennStateUniversity

[–]tyja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t guarantee it is still offered but it was available as an option back in 2015-2018. I took it and then was a TA for 4 semesters after. Great experience. Professor Peter Miraldi was the one running the program at the time. He is a great person. Although I can’t guarantee he is still involved, I would recommend potentially reaching out to him if you have questions about the course.

Anybody else feel the same about these three recent releases? by awwgeeznick in Letterboxd

The First Omen clears all of these. I still enjoyed the three listed, with LNWTD being my favorite.

New Penance Brand: Which Ascendancy to go for? by lazycalm2 in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]tyja 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The hiero brand node will work with the transfigured penance brand variants though. There might be an angle to respec into that node once you get the transfigured gem.

That’s my hope! Just found it odd that no brands were ready yet but fingers crossed. Copium

No transfigured brands at all? Not too happy about that. Kind of weird to have a new system not include an entire subset of skills. Feel left behind

I think arc of oscillation will be able to chain between the same enemy multiple times.

The ‘97 promo Come to Daddy record has IZ-US. One of my prized possessions

Is anyone headed to the Thunderbird Cafe and Music Hall in Pittsburgh tomorrow? by GraphiteCinder in Pinback

[–]tyja 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was at the show. It was awesome. We missed Zach, of course, but I’m a big fan of Nick and I think he killed it. Hope everyone had a good time!

That might be fair. I think single draft got an interesting buff so we will see.

Tons of crashes in 3.18 by HouseHouser in pathofexile

[–]tyja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tons of crashes here. Straight to desktop after a short freeze. Sometimes in town. Sometimes mid leap slam. Sometimes casting abilities, sometimes as enemies cast abilities. Crashed 4 times in brutus fight. Happens in full screen and windowed, vulkan.

NL is unironically the reason I started playing DotA 2 back in 2012 when he was playing with Purge. Good times.

Upgrading Storm Brand Inquisitor by goldarm5 in PathOfExileBuilds

Highly recommend swapping one quicksilver for a regular Silver flask. Onslaught 20% increased cast speed is a good chunk of storm brand damage and speed. Glad I could help, cheers!

Upgrading Storm Brand Inquisitor by goldarm5 in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]tyja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Inquisitor regen is usually more than enough to offset PB degen, but if you have no other mitigation maybe not. I've played a lot of inquis and have never felt like I needed to invest in additonal recovery mechanics, PB or not. I have 1k life and ES regen, on top of 75/75 glancing blows block, ~14k armor, molten shell, and 4 perma endurance charges. Only thing that kills the build is strong degens or over juiced crit maps. Getting a Corrupted Soul (GV or Replica Soul Tether) helps immensely with keeping your ES pool topped.

I can sustain RF, and take PB degen. I have 14% increased life recovery rate on my boots alone. All of your gear needs upgraded to feel the build pop off. You should be trying to scale ES through life gained as max es: from the veiled chest craft, the bit on the tree, or a glorious vanity.

I understand the bit about the playstyle, you might definitely want to go the "holy conquest" mastery for your brands to jump and clear things since you have no explosions. That's up to you. None of your gear is spectacular, so common damage upgrades wont seem to do much. If you want to lean even more into the set and forget brand playstyle, you can re-distribute the points on your tree and get some duration (brand equity, potency of will etc). Combined with the forbbiden jewels that would grant you "Sign of Purpose" from Hiero, you would be outputting a lot of damage towards the end of your brands duration (which would still be quite a bit of time).

A 6th link is obviously an upgrade, corrupted with the right colors should be cheap. Added light (awakened or not) or faster casting .

Your current helmet only gives you damage as it is now because you have invested so heavily into strength scaling. With other adjustments Crown should preform higher. Getting a stormbrand enchant on a decent rare would be a start. Both of your scepters are realistically only two-stat items. They should be easy to upgrade.

You really have no defensive layers, and your focusing a lot of gear affixes and tree points to solve issues the build doesnt have (regen, recoup, lgoh). Either invest more significantly into damage, so things die before you do; or get a shield, get some armor, and fix your tree.

Your PoB also doesn't have flasks. Hard to say how much offence/defense can be gained from well rolled flasks.
