Ok so I have a 3,4Ghz i7 920 and a gtx 970. FPS and frametimes were piss poor on breaches etc. Multithread on, dx11 beta on.

I went to look for more tweaks and found a "--experimental-frame-optimizations" comandline parameter. For some reason frametimes are now smooth no matter how much crap at screen. 2.3.3 patch notes said the optimizations should have been enabled by default in 2.4.. and it's 2.6 now. What gives? Is my .ini/settings hosed because they didn't work automatically?

Anyways, praise Chris for making poe smooth again with this one weird trick.

I just did this and I now can play Tul and Esh breaches without going into single digit FPS, it's amazing. Thanks for the tip!

Picked up a rare helm with close to triple 40% elemental resists, but the prefixes are crap and no space for a life mod. Is this worth hanging on to long enough for the level 8 master craft to protect suffixes and reroll the prefixes?
Is it even possible to do that on an item with 6 affixes already?

Blade vortex, warchief totems, HoWa, ball lightening, ED... there's plenty of "op" builds right now but nothing really stands out like some builds have in the past. Shaper takes a lot of currency still. There's nothing like bladefall mines of the old days which could farm under atziri with a tabula.

As far as I know anyway.

Been having fun with a facebreaker slayer today. Went back and forth on shield charge vs ice crash, then a goon gave me the idea of "why not both?" So now I'm running Shield Charge, Ice Crash, Faster Attacks, Melee Physical, Fortify and Added Fire on a tabula. Working out pretty well, shield charge kills 90% of the chaff, and the wheat falls over with ice crashing.

Also, ghostflame herald of ash is pretty :3:

Getting extremely frustrated with the Atlas progression this league. The only T8 map I have completed is Pier, and Pier doesn't connect to any T9s, so I can't progress that way. I've currently run 44 T7 maps that are adjacent to T8s I don't have yet, but none of those T8s will drop. I've gotten 13 Piers and nothing else. I'm almost level 88 and simply can't progress at all.

Do not trust in hope- it will betray you! Only faith and hatred sustain.

Man I had a dumb cool idea for a KOTF variant using a CI occultist and then I got home and remembered Cospri's Will is pure EV not EV/ES and thus you probably won't have anywhere near enough ES to make a good pool with it :(

Perandus sold me a The Goddess Bound for like 50 coins, which is insanely cheap, and now I upgraded it into The Goddess Scorned and it is being kind of a game-changer at level 33. Essence/Strongbox/Perandus runs are being drat fantastic so far.

Pure fire iron commander siege ballista totems with a taming/emberwake. Pretty sure my dps is lower, as well as losing all the survivability taunts/leech gave me.

Apparently the guy sold it for 6ex, but he could have also gotten some RMT for it on the DL.


I lucked out and got a Relic version of Aegis Aurora. Is there a good build that can use it or should I just sell it for ~4ex?

Still absurdly cheap, it was scam or RMT.

gently caress. I'm playing a pure evasion/Acrobatics character, and I just realized I'm eventually going to need 3 red sockets and 2 blue sockets on my armor, possibly more. Maaaybe I can pull it off with an armor/evasion chest? Like Lightning Coil? Or maybe Daresso's Defiance for the Immortal Call support, hmm...
