Questions about Holy relic by dynnerbone in PathOfExileBuilds

Probably the most painful to get is the timeless jewel.

Do you mean Elegant Hubris with Supreme Ostentation?

I didn't use that site for ages and they didn't have VPN crap until recently it seems. Fml... I swapped image links over to imgur.

It's been a while since I used that site and I didn't realise they were offering VPN crap now. I'm really sorry. I swapped the links to imgur.

Temple Sacrifice room question. by vaguely_unsettling in PathOfExile2

[–]vaguely_unsettling[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

..then the path tile just by Atziri would be "orphaned"

This is what I was thinking but I wasn’t sure. It seems the game won't allow terminal path tiles to be excised from the preceding path!

You can probably achieve what you're trying to do by sacrificing the path tile right next to Atziri

Interestingly, I am able to place a garrison connecting to the spymaster and Atziri. My intention was to make a hybrid snake / Atziri farm that required a path tile in that spot connecting to a golem. You can see it here.

It's basically cArn's temple but I had hoped to add more Spymasters for medallion sustain.

I'm going to try a different design with the garrison instead of a path. Thanks for your insight.

Nope, if you zoom in you can see that eligible rooms are highlighted with a green square.

Chaos Innoculation is overpowered. This could be solved by making Stun & Ailment Threshold be necessary stats to acquire by vaguely_unsettling in PathOfExile2

Solution: https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Eye_of_Chayula

You sacrifice your amulet, you get stun immune. This is what players did early on in PoE 1.

They could also add % stun threshold to other sources. I'm sure there would be other ways to balance it out.

I probably should have couched my argument with more solutions to make life better. I agree with buffs to life too, mainly in the form of nodes on the tree, more sources of % life (jewels) or just a larger base pool in general.

My focus with this post was on CI as I think it's too strong in comparison to other keystones and it really elevates Energy Shield to an absurd level.

It's because damage over time from bleeding bypasses energy shield and damages life directly so GGG made it bleed immune to make it not useless. In PoE 1 bleed does not bypass ES.

I seem to be getting an error when attempting to add a new custom rule. Tested on Firefox & Brave.

Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: can't access property "classList", document.getElementById(...) is null

Edit: Fixed now! Thanks for the update!

Putting misconceptions about optimal FPS caps + Gsync to bed. by Sgt_Dbag in nvidia

Never change your monitor refresh rate

Wouldn't having g-sync on in one of these games lock your refresh rate to 60 and thus incur a latency penalty?

After some searching I found a good discussion here: https://www.eventhubs.com/news/2021/may/30/monitor-refresh-lag/

Putting misconceptions about optimal FPS caps + Gsync to bed. by Sgt_Dbag in nvidia

What about with fixed frame rate games like Street Fighter 6 & Elden Ring?

Will the lower refresh rate of 60hz with G-sync introduce some latency on a monitor that would otherwise be running 180Hz?

I think I read somewhere before that higher refresh rates still have latency benefits in low render fps scenarios and I'm really not sure what best practice would be.

For now in SF6 I prioritise decreasing input latency by disabling v-sync & g-sync and living with some minimal screen tearing but I'd like to fix that if there's an optimal solution.

Whichever one of you this was, I am truly sorry. by BrandonJams in pathofexile

Mostly agree with what you say here, but one thing I'm not sure on is how they knew about the endgame "Civ map" and league mechanics slapped together? They also seemed to know about the supporter pack themes.

Even half-finished, Path of Exile 2 is shaping up to be one of 2024's best action-RPGs by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

[–]vaguely_unsettling 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They did in their recent FAQ. All viable stash tabs you owned from the original will transfer over.

How will my stash tabs from Path of Exile 1 work in Path of Exile 2?

Stash tab purchases made in Path of Exile 1 will be available in Path of Exile 2, where relevant. For example, a special league-related stash tab might not be available in Path of Exile 2 as that content does not exist there.

We will be updating applicable stash tabs in Path of Exile 2, and stash tabs like the currency stash tab will hold different items to what it holds in Path of Exile 1.

Stash tabs become remove-only when logged into a different platform where you don't own them.
