I guess I'll give it a go tomorrow. A gem upgrading spree has just given me 20% more damage I'm on ~200k dps which is probably a bit low but whatever.

Look up theuberlites guide, he's real good with all things minion related.


Also if you want my old srs gear (got a +2 6l, council gloves, and a solid bone helmet sitting around still) let me know

e. someone pointed out in the guild chat that the my staff was bad for srs because it had + fire damage to spells. I used that thing for like, a few weeks probably at the start of the league and never figured out why my srs was so poo poo for bosses until tonight :negative:

welcome to VP against chimera

move as fast as you can from cloud to cloud, hit instant life flasks to get there, accept a death or two just from running into the wrong one


btw I think accepting deaths to guardians and shaper is just a way of life, level 90 is all you need for cheevos and your build should be done by then too

If you're face-tanking a boss in maps, is there a specific optimal sequence of flasks you should pop to get the most out of your DEFENSE?

Like for instance, when entering a boss fight should you pop 1. granite first 2. block flask 3. stibnite and so on?

Make sure not to put a popsicle stick on the keys to press them all at once though. That's a bannable offense.

In all honesty GGG has better things to do than check if you're running macros, but I understand they need to take a hardline stance because otherwise your support team spends 800 hours in "well this was a gray area" hell.

So no one actually gets banned for using a use all potions hot key unless they are doing it on a stream or something silly.

At this point they should really just allow you to bind multiple potions to 1 key. Playing a pathfinder without this is just begging for carpal tunnel.

Piano'ing 1-5 every 4-5 seconds kills my left hand.

I can mouse with my right for 4-5 hours and not have any issues.

if you move your mouse like an ergonomic good person (with your elbow) then youre fine

piano keying 1-5 takes much more joint movement

question for the advanced crafting peoples, does using 'remove crafted mods' remove ALL crafted mods, no matter what bench was used to add them? I would assume so, but dont want to waste multiple exalts testing it myself (im a poor) (making an srs staff)

It's a terrible loving situation all around. No one at GGG actually thinks it's an egregious cheat to bind flask buttons to one button, but at the same time they have to take a hard stance on "you can never macro more than 1 server action to 1 button press" because if they don't then it opens up gray area for a lot of actual cheating. Then because they have to take the hard stance on something that should be a non-issue, when Ziz gets posted to Reddit typing in 12345 to his chat box, you get thousands of idiots on Reddit screaming that Ziz should be banned, and GGG decided to take an immediate action because there was so much outcry from the community.

Basically, don't make yourself a pariah. Like in the real world, there are plenty of things that are technically illegal to do but cops won't really care about you doing it, until thousands of people phone in to their police department about you doing it and they have to take action.

You don't need a macro to spam fuses... You just hold shift.

And? It's not that hard to click faster than the server will let you without a script.

I think unless you're watching some obscure poo poo tier streamers who are too small for anyone to notice then you probably aren't seeing people cheat on air.
