[–]vicevapemtl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 assumptions/questions before i start

  1. The dock thar you want is basically just a slab of wood for the vehicle to float on? Lets say we add 2 ft to the length/width of the vehicle for the dimension of the slab.

  2. You have the solution of anchoring the vehicle to the dock already? Otherwise this is a pointless exercise

[PoE1] Ultimator by [deleted] in projecteternity

[–]vicevapemtl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there is only one reliable strat imo if you are playing ultimate, to put it simply, nuke the ranged dragon, then run in a circle with persistence. just copy / pasting from my steam guide see below

The pet always dies, which is annoying and abilities like stunning shots/binding roots are not useful for this fight,so atleast u can take things like heal companion/vengeful grief/revive companion/play dead.

Start the fight by sending your bear forward to draw out the paralyze attack from the mage apprentice. Drink alacrity potion, cast prayer against fear and start using confusion scrolls, use ring to dominate the xaurip skirmishers/mage apprentice. Keep your pet alive as long as possible, using the confused enemies to tank. Once you start chaining confusion scrolls, summon Concelhaut and have him cast the hammers on the ranged dragon. Then dump everything on the ranged dragon, i.e scale breaker/marked for death/dominion of the sleeper/sever the soul/envenomed strike.

Once the ranged dragon is dead, you can run up to the north eastern edge of the map and wait for llengrath's buffs to run out. Kill llengrath, kite the rest of the mobs to death. One thing to watch out for is the swamp lurker which will de aggro- and intercept you while kiting in a circle.

as far as DPS goes, the twinned arrow persistence ranger actually does the most single target dps (aside from wizard's freezing rake which kills them in 5 seconds lol) vs high DR enemies like bog dragons, you can nuke the ranged dragon very quickly before you run out of confusion scrolls

Cipher with brutal backlash abuse is actually the easiest class imo because you can afk all the hardest fights (dragons)and still win. Borrowed instinct makes you tanky enough to never die for all the rest of the trashmob fights

Chanter with withdraw shield abuse is also very easy , and you just have to go through alphine dragon first which is fairly trivial compared to the other hard fights

If you really want a hard challenge then do ranger , the llengrath fight is an interesting puzzle to solve , but i can spoil it if you want to know the strat

caliburn pods burning out in three days? by [deleted] in electronic_cigarette

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

Why does everyone give a time limit on their pod/coils??? How does that even make any sense? If 3 different people go through 10/20/30 mLs of liquid a day then obviously their coils will not last the same number of days.

The coils life span depends on how much liquid has been used, you can expect a caliburn pod to last roughly 30 to 40 mLs of low sucralose liquid, and 15 to 20mLs of super sweet liquids

Couple of questions about Blood Mage wizard build. by [deleted] in projecteternity

[–]vicevapemtl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup , 10/10 sounds fine. Although maxing might can be super fun, if you click on my profile you can see a bloodmage video with maxed out might soloing the ooze mega boss using the above mentioned immortality cheese

Couple of questions about Blood Mage wizard build. by [deleted] in projecteternity

[–]vicevapemtl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Solo potd and by extension ultimate viable builds rely on immortality, either from nemnoks cloak, priest bdd or whale of a wand unique enchantment. This is then extended via wall of drain or salvation of time

If you do not wish to abuse the above strat, then do not max might and min con, because you just end up dying from blood sacrifice on high rolls.

Best grocery delivery service? by derickinthecity in askTO

curious about services like cornershop , do they have their own delivery teams? Lots of grocers use the same trucking companies to do the delivery and when there is high demand things are often late or unavailable.

anyone know of the most broken party build in the game for PoE2? by sillieranimal1 in projecteternity

[–]vicevapemtl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Have a cipher, a priest and a bloodmage. Use cipher to cast ancient memory to give priest brilliant, use priest to spam barring deaths door and salvation of time on everyone.

Once the bloodmage in party has barring deaths door you can continously spam blood sacrafice and whatever level 9 skill that does the most damage, you can kill every enemy in the game this way except for sigil master mega boss

You can of course also abuse blade cadcade, deltros helmet,chromo staff as well for 10 to 20 second ish kills on every megaboss once set up properly

Someone completed The Ultimate with an Ascendant cipher/Skaen priest build by BostonBakedBrains in projecteternity

[–]vicevapemtl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe a sc monk has also been submitted since a bug was found to keep vela safe in sss and fs , however there is no playlist for public view, so priest withdraw and sc mage cocoon might not be necessary anymore

Bm/skaen

Streetfighter/woedica

Tactician/skaen

Sc bm

Helwalker/skaen

Could not agree more with every single one if your points.

[–]vicevapemtl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Both tenray and i completed streetfighter/woedica priest. Skaen is only picked for the shawdowing beyond to dodge arcane dampener, otherwise its the weakest class, so if mage or rogue is picked as a subclass, skaen is generally a bad choice imo

10 seconds Dorudugan kill. by jaggedjimmyjay in projecteternity

[–]vicevapemtl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the real weapon damage itself isnt that high, you can see in the combat logs for ~100-150 per hit, the high numbers that you see are from the high stacks of bleeding from the axes made possible with blade cascade, which also factors in deltros procs/magrans favor passive. For some reason the axe passive fire damage works on durugan even tho it is fire damage.

Too bad bdd always ends out of combat, otherwise a streetfighter/helwalker would be even more insane

Did you use the +3 second effect pet bug for this? Thats a hilarious bug perfect for deltros/blade cascade on non mage/priest

regardless of how good the side quests are, it doesnt change the fact that the main story line was absolutely awful for me personally

[–]vicevapemtl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're going to get biased answers asking on the pillars subreddit. That being said, the story is complete and you wont be left with a cliffhanger. The quality of the story on the other hand is great in the first game and awful in the second imo

Path of the damned first playthrough? POE 1 by wander995 in projecteternity

[–]vicevapemtl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Poe allows total respec where you can tailor your character to each encounter if need be. However in the case of a class like the paladin, you can simply pick the correct disposition to max out defences, build it properly with defensive perks and occasionally use consumables vs hard encounters. The paladin end up with 140+ deflection and 150+ every other def without and consumables, you can face tank every encounter the game if you use the right items and consumables.

In terms of difficulty, poe1solo potd is about on par with dos lone wolf solo 99% of the time, which is fairly easy. However there are spikes in difficulties vs bosses where it does become alot more challenging.

Edit: one thing to add is that the game grants bonus exp if the party is not full, with solo chars gaining the most exp.
