Guilds are account-based; gateway, league, and character don't matter.

I legitimately hate to do this, but I have two rare jewels that I THINK are worth a lot that I just cannot sell. Does any Goon have interest in them? Or does anyone know what kinda price I should be asking for? I've listed them on poe.trade, but I've had absolutely no nibbles. :(

This may be a dumb question, but isn't it a bad idea to go for power charges and crit when your using controlled destruction reducing your crit chance by 100%? or does it just not matter?

Controlled destruction is worth using with no crit nodes, or a high crit chance. There's a decently sized range where it's not worth using, but pretty much any mapping crit-based character should have enough. An easy way to tell is by looking at your character sheet DPS for your skill, if it goes up by more than like 10-15% when you slot in controlled destruction, it's worth using.

If you want to have an easy time I'd do it at lvl 60+ or even 65 depending on build. Izaro just hits pretty hard relative to when you can do it.

Admittedly, if he had alt-F4'd immediately rather than went, "Oh, what should I do? Should I sit here? Should I log out? Should I stick my thumb up my rear end? I don't know? Did I die? I don't know! Oh, I'll...maybe, I'll hit Alt-F4. No, I'll click here instead. Oh it says it isn't responding..." and so on.

gently caress, as soon as I see that blue circle, I'm in Task Manager and quitting that poo poo.

Mannercookie is also a pretentious loving wank who was banned from Diablo 3 for showing an exploit on his stream and then posted a big shpiel on their forums about how he was a martyr who only did it to "force Blizzard's hand" when they didn't fix the bug quickly enough and they repaid him by banning him blah blah blah. He's a giant baby, basically. Any sane person would alt-f4 as soon as the loading screen froze. I play SC and I do it just to save time.

If you play hardcore and a zone takes way longer to load than usual don't even wait for the crash just alt+f4. That's how you save yourself from literally becoming cybrix "AH DA???!?"

Sometimes you just want to kick back and watch someone play a game that you don't really feel like playing.

This unfortunately led to the rise of stream "personalities" and hosed up the whole ecosystem.

Yeah personally I can't stand watching arpgs but if it's some kind of team-based game with decent commentary, it's not half bad. The only time I watch poe streamers is build videos and then I try and go for ones laid out in a thread instead.

I've been trying to find an archetype I really like. The basic lightning arrow skill/build was all right, but I'm surprised by how much I'm loving this Templar I've got now with two fire totems, plus molten orb. I found a Flammability gem, along with a Vaal Ice Nova to keep crowds under control.

What do I need to know about the passive that gives me an extra totem but makes me do zero damage?

Searing Bond doesn't count towards the totem limit, traps and mines don't count as you causing the damage so can happily be used alongside totems.

I bought the helmet. I use whirling blades for movement as you can see from the gems in my sockets. I don't have any resist gaps and until I can farm the enchant onto another helmet, it really doesn't matter. I have over 5.4k health.

Holyshoot posted:

Why do you think that?

I have whirling blades for movement, the use of a one hander means I have a significant survivability boost. I have 100% aftershock proc rate due to the reduced and less duration, so I can take my 35k tooltip (when just setup for fast clear, without conc effect, etc that I'd use for Izaro or Atziri) and add 177% to that - 96k effective tooltip.

Mortimer posted:

I whirl to a pack, proc fortify from the whirl. Enduring Cry if I want endurance charges. Earthquake - anything that's not an extra life blue pack, rare or boss will generally die in the single earthquake or aftershock. Whirl away. If I take damage, Immortal Call and Molten Shell proc. Immortal Call consumes the endurance charges, and after it fades Molten Shell is still there for a significant armour boost.

Most map bosses up to tier 7 (so far) die in 4-5 earthquake/aftershock combos with an attack time of 0.45 seconds - so generally 3-4 seconds.

Ele crit spectral throw is what I started the league as. Wrath + Herald of Thunder for auras. Fast foil with flat ele and increased attack speed (2.0 attacks per second is target).
