If you tweak drop rates there's no safeguards to prevent you from just putting it on a mule and migrating that character over to a trade league. You would have to disable that feature which is a big perk of SSF; if you get tired of the SSF gimmick you can migrate to trade league without issue.

Yeah I forgot you could migrate. I wonder if they did those things (and/or other things to make SSF more "viable", that was just off the top of my head) and disabled migration if it would make SSF more or less popular?

Just get poe trade macro so you can scroll through your stash tabs with your mouse wheel.

Or just get the poeiteminfo macro they straight up copied it from, so you dont have to install a lovely trade macro!

It would probably make it less popular, since all the people who enjoy it for the challenge would feel cheated.

How have they not added stash tab scrolling and f5 to goto hideout to the base game yet

I would argue that they're slowly fixing the 'can't get xyz unique reliably' in SSF with divination cards. I mean it's not a rapid thing at all given that there's four major updates a year and maybe a mini-update midleague that pushes a few more cards, but there's a pretty healthy amount of them that either give a specific unique, or a limited table of a certain type of unique. They're putting in a PP card shortly so even that will be common enough, at least in the sense that if you wanted to do a PP build (which of course requires 2 or 4 pens) it's no longer out of the realm of possibility for most people.

They have stash tab scrolling, but you have to have your mouse over the tab labels, whereas with the trade macro you can just Ctrl mouse wheel from anywhere

I just want to log in to my now persistent hideout instead of spawning in town for no obvious reason beyond adding another loadscreen.

Its so you can see cool MTX setups and buy them, though. That's why you load into town.

It takes less than a second before I click the waypoint and zoom to my hideout. Plus all the really cool and good MTX are gem replacements, so you don't get to see them in town anyway. Maybe if they allowed minions in town so I would be unable to press the waypoint I'd spend more time admiring peoples getup.

I did a triple totem marauder using Tukohama's Fortress and the +1 totem-but-can't-attack node way back when, which actually got me to my highest level in POE. The 40% less damage, but being able to attack? Hmm

That's also level 1, so I assume that will not be endgame modifiers.

The less damage will almost assuredly go down as you level up the gem. Probably to 20-21% less.

It probably scales down to like 20% less damage at gem lvl20

I dunno about running it as a hierophant but it does mean you can run a warchief and double decoy totem right?

# ? Nov 30, 2018 22:53

I don't think I would run that on a Hierophant build.

totems are super smooth with even a moderate amount of placement speed. drop, scoot, drop, scoot, wrack em up

I really feel like I could use a few of the special tabs but my current setup juuuuuuust fits the stash window without making a scroll arrow appear and I don't want to change that

Currently my layout is
Money (currency)
Materials (normal)
Cards (divination)
Essences (normal)
Maps (normal)
Misc (normal)
Selling (normal)

If there was a way to "upgrade" a normal tab to a map or essence tab, instead of creating a new one, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

You can fit more tabs than that! I've got 10 of them with one tab named STORE, and they all fit. At 7 or so it fills in the row, but adding more tabs squishes the labels closer together.

Well... I guess it's possible. That mana multiplier is awful though, maybe it's better to get +1 totem from somewhere else.

I was joking and forgot about the spell totem multiplier but it should be possible with a Lavianga's Spirit or Vaal Clarity

No, this is very much intended for getting builds that couldn't easily get +1-2 totems to have multiple totems. Less damage (and taking a socket) is not worth it when you already have multiple totems.

If you have 10 totems, 20% less damage (and the loss of a real support gem) on 12 totems is a net loss.

I name my tabs by initial, So: C,M,E,D,F,Q1,Q2,U,S(ell),etc. I've got a shitton of tabs now, and I don't use most of them, so the arrow is rarely an issue.
