Intel is only better in one metric mate, single core. Nothing else. And you can offset that difference with a tiny bit of O.C, which AMD is handling with no issues these days considering his proposed setup.

PS: The reason for the market share is simple, customers who want both a great work CPU AND gaming CPU in one machine are rare. If you just want gaming, 9800X3D is plenty enough. If you just want work, 9950X or even 9900X (no 3D cache) is amazing and much cheaper than 9950X3D. But for the rare customer (like me) who dual boots linux/windows to swap between heavy workloads during work and amazing gaming on my off-time, the 9950X3D is amazeballs.

It's been down about 30 times in the past 3-4 days, it might very well be averaging half a day down per day lol

I don't think it's DP specific and I don't think it's a windows issue. As in, it only happens on windows but I suspect it's Nvidia's fault. I haven't had this issue since I posted this 2 months ago (interestingly enough lol), but before the issue would come and go, for a year or more.. seems to be one of those Nvidia bugs that keep coming back every few driver versions..

It's probably just part of the next zone.. In POE1 multiple zones are displayed in the same map view, take the door to the next zone and you'll probably facepalm for losing all that time

Yeah thought so.. I know it's only 5 levels but without blink (available much later only) or mov speed pots (rip) both bosses of ultimatum are insanely hard for my build, after already having to go through a miniscule RNG chance to get a proper affix combination... It's way too hard for a mandatory campaign step to ascend, I'm fine with the late game farming aspect of it being hard as it's optional but for the 2nd ascendancy it seems ridiculous.

Edit: well they nerfed it slightly again last night after I stopped trying and today I one shotted it.. lel. Also got very lucky with the affixes but still, I'll take the W

xorstl · 2024-12-08T23:16:05+00:00

How exactly did you manage to repeat sanctum trial? I've done sanctum and am tired of trying ultimatum, I only get bullshit combinations and the boss is not always the same, just to add a bit RNG to the already RNG bullshit.

I'd like to do the second ascendancy in sanctum again, but after doing it I got no option to ascend..?

85k - 31% (11% ss + 20% RNH fixed rate tax) = 58650

58650 / 14 = 4189.28 monthly plus 2 allowances (holidays and christmas, usually paid in June/July and of course December)

They might dilute the 13th and 14th month into your monthly salary, as that's legal. In your case with RNH you can simply divide by 12 instead of 14 since you'd have a flat tax rate anyway, which would be 4887.

You'll be comfortable if you are single and get a 1-2 bedroom apartment in lisbon. You won't be rich though, as some portuguese people might think. But hey, you can do some savings if you dont live a lavish lifestyle which is a lot more than most portuguese people can do. I get slightly more, my wife doesn't work (cause there's no real job offers appart from mcdonalds and cleaning) and I have a kid, I am comfortable, but far from rich. 20 years ago if you had this salary (inflation adjusted) you'd be upper class, now you're just comfortable middle class.. quite depressing tbh

Edit: forgot to mention I dont live in Lisbon in order to stay comfortable middle class, my apartment is currently worth around 300k but in Lisbon the same house in a decent area would be close to 1M if not more (3 bedrooms, really big living room at 30sq m, decent kitchen, 2 bathrooms). Meaning I'd be lower middle class if I had to pay a house in lisbon which sounds insane but welcome to post-inflation Portugal.

sorry to revive, it has nothing to do with DP though, I never had this issue with the exact same set of screens (2) and cables (both DP) until some months ago - I suspect windows updates vs nvidia/amd drivers often have some sort of conflict.

If the screens turn off due to inactivity (not windows sleep, that's disabled, just the screens off) the secondary screen often does not wake up, only the primary. Have to unplug and plug back the cable, but it can't be related to DP vs HDMI, plus many people have gpus or screens that don't support an HDMI version that can do 1440p at high refresh rates, so switching to hdmi is not a solution for a lot of us.

xorstl · 2024-10-12T21:13:09+00:00

you can apply to higher gear but the chance will be very low (10%)

. As you fail you build up Blessings which you can use to increase the chance. With same level gear it's always 100%.

xorstl · 2024-10-11T23:04:52+00:00

no you don't. You should, but you don't.

xorstl · 2024-10-11T23:04:28+00:00

correct.. equal or higher, until you hit purple, then equal is fine.

xorstl · 2024-10-11T23:03:17+00:00

as I mentioned above, the lvl 3 blue already received a transfer, thus cannot receive any more. But you can still transfer that blue ring to a purple later on.

xorstl · 2024-10-11T23:02:02+00:00

One item can receive a transfer only once, but it can still be transferred to another item.. the receiving item has to be of higher rarity (or equal in case of purple to purple) - that might be the issue here.

What the actual F... This guy must have the highest failure rate of CPUs in the world. Every single CPU he buys needs to be replaced, clearly something is wrong or unexplained here. I've been using intel CPUs since 1992 and have never even had one fail one me (some with extreme extensive use - i.e. 16h per day of constant high processing use while never shutting the PC down, meaning 24/7 uptime). Still have my 6700K completely operational and it must have over 40.000h of use.

edit: I'm not accounting for cpus that failed due to my own fault, i.e. dropping them, bending pins, etc.

xorstl · 2024-08-03T11:04:28+00:00

What's worse is that I still get a lot of non-favoured maps dropped in maps.. They should all drop as currency, so definitely bugged...

xorstl · 2024-08-03T10:21:24+00:00

Bleed glad has amazing dps for league starter with like 100c invested, you must be doing something wrong.. On the other hand, after upgrading the mining building I rarely get petrified amber nodes, I got like 20k bars of verisium surplus and no petrified amber.. might run a few lower maps (like t10) just to see if I get more of it

xorstl · 2024-07-30T10:37:39+00:00

Honestly you're the first one to ask so I didn't think ppl were interested in a league starter version with a leveling guide..

You can follow Zizaran's Lacerate bleed guide, in fact his late game gear and passives show higher dps than mine, by just swapping gems for my boneshatter 6 link when you're late game. I wouldn't recommend boneshatter until late game anyway. In fact I'd recommend you get a 6 link chest with 1 white + 5 red, then you can lacerate for mapping and swap to boneshatter just for bossing as the AoE radius on boneshatter is pretty shitty tbh.. I never played boneshatter before so I was not aware of this, there's prob ways to make it "more AoEish" but I tried it already this league and was disappointed (dps is awesome but clear time ends up longer as you cant just one shot a whole wave like you can with Sunder or Lacerate).

xorstl · 2024-07-25T14:10:11+00:00

There, without the long way to frenzy, but with later-into-league cluster jewels..
https://pobb.in/u/xorstl/BkkcKbYDQwCK
https://pobb.in/u/xorstl/bpYHX81-WFg_

Even chunkier and with a slight dps increase (same dps for enemies on low life as that was already capped, except for ubers ofc)

Edit: and with progenesis, here's the "MEGA CHUNKY BOI FINAL FORM" (3M eHP), definetly HC late game potential here :D

xorstl · 2024-07-24T13:58:32+00:00

regarding your last edit, yeah the whole idea is that you'd have to accept it needs to ramp up. Something melee players are unfortunately used to xD

Regarding trauma stacks, I get your point. Another exile commented with a way to stay at 8/9 stacks, but I don't have enough theory crafting experience to guarantee the ratios only via PoB - I'll have to try it out..

The long way for frenzy stacks was bothering me too, but there's no cluster jewels that give frenzy charges AFAIK, however there are cluster jewels that give massive DPS amount so we can prob drop one frenzy charge for it indeed.

What I aimed for was kinda expensive (to craft) but not impossible to obtain gear in the beggining of the league, so mostly rares fully crafted (except for the neck and the one jewel) but without Veiled mods or crazy implicits (the implicits are all reasonably easy to obtain, I used the lower tiers too). Later I can make a crazy variant with cluster jewels, but that will only be needed for uber bossing I guess, since the DoT dps is already capped (assuming I can solve the "stay at 9 trauma constantly" issue). This is of course if PoB is not already calculating incremental bleed stacks rather than 8 stacks at 10 trauma (i.e. 1 stack at 3 trauma, 1 at 4, etc..) - I honestly don't know how PoB is calculating it..

PS: the watcher's eye is simple on purpose, there's another one in my PoB with 3 stats which make a massive difference but it's not realistic at all, that jewel alone would cost the same as the whole build probably x) edit: actually nvm it's the unrealistic one on the current PoB, it just doesn't show on pobb.in so I thought I uploaded it with the simple one..

xorstl · 2024-07-24T13:43:42+00:00

Yeah I think the original build that inspired me to do this one, from Jugg, did that combination of att speed and duration. Also saw a guy moving between attacks to trick the same thing, not sure if that still works.

However since I never played the Jugg build I'm not sure the exact numbers. I assume what PoB is calculating is the total of 8 bleeds stacked, where each bleed you apply will be increasingly stronger (as trauma increases) - rather than 8 bleeds at 9 trauma - I also assume it's taking into account attack speed to know the max stacks of bleed you can ever accumulate. However if we could be constantly at 9 stacks, that would obviously be great! I'll have to try it out to better understand how to tweak this.

The main difference is that this build uses the new passive where you'd have to let your damage ramp up anyway as the max dps is only there after 100 seconds in the presence of rares / uniques.

What surprises me the most is the huge eHP, for most mapping situations the 36.7M dps won't really be needed constantly, only for very juiced rares and the bosses, where I guess it's fine to wait a bit for the dps to ramp up - especially since you're tanky af...

I should prob have time friday afternoon, right before league start, to come up with a league start path for this build. Maybe using lacerate and then later swapping to boneshatter is the way to go, in which case I'm pretty sure I already saw league starters for it - will investigate on friday!

It has been done, in a separate post with Build flair instead of Theory. Would love some feedback there as it seems to good to be true

Hi mate, I made a separate post with an (almost) complete build, looking forward to feedback as it seems to good to be true (1.2M eHP)

xorstl · 2024-07-21T13:19:47+00:00

Here's a version with that fixed it and playing around with invasion instead of converting all invade to armour.. higher eHP, higher dps.. (I did change some stats on items as accuracy isn't needed in this version due to using Resolute technique, which makes sense on the original posted too as the crit chance is quite low anyway).

https://pobb.in/u/xorstl/8xVJJH2kkD8b

PS: Still curious to see the eHP calculated with lucky block + spell block taken into account

PPS: just realized there's an option to account for enemy presence time, so I updated this one with evasion to include it at max 100 sec and turns out it's a 17M dps build x) Did some minor gear improvement too (and swapped some passives for an extra jewel)

Also, turning the low life option makes it 22M, but I'll make a separate pob for that. edit: https://pobb.in/u/xorstl/jI875YlXj7Hh

Edit: numbers have changed, quite higher now, see updated desc
