Support mercs are definitely more functional because you need far less to find a good one and your dps isn't shit without one, thus you can more reliably defeat that good merc when you find it. I can't even remember, wtf were they bitching about a couple leagues ago? It feels at odds with the...

All done with 40/40. Ended the league Soulwrest Reliquarian. First time I've seen Bonemeld used, so it was an interesting build to theorycraft. Certainly overpowered as I was able to squeeze 80M boss dps out of 15D. The only clunk, and it's serious clunk, is that the phantasms can leave...

How would you do this without significantly cutting into the productivity? Understanding and approving every command it wants to run can take more time than just doing it yourself. I've been having trouble determining when I should and should not use AI. I don't like getting to the end of an...

I'm not sure I agree about the teaching part. Claude will amend an old commit and force push, but will that teach you the specific commands and options you should use to do that? And more importantly, when is the right time to force push?

Is that couple hundred the orgs flat subscription cost? Or was that the cost of that bump?

Tornado with the taming ring is pretty similar to RF. Nothing really matches brain dead moving pack to pack because no movement skills.

WSL1 was indeed gay. For all of Microsoft's WELL deserved faults, WSL2 seems solid. The problem is that we need to support Windows. Pick the least gay: Native Linux and a Windows VM Windows VM on AWS with barely functional persistent storage that lasts a week at most Native Windows and a...

Maybe. The counter narrative is that open models(like qwen) are right behind frontier models. To paraphrase the AI product manager at my company, why else would Anthropic give us more and more tokens? I actually don't know if we're getting more tokens. My subscription reports in percent...

I don't think so, but it would have been preferable. There's an established methodology to fixing and/or dealing with alcoholics. Both. He struggles with fundamental concepts like git, but I would argue git can be a bit challenging. A more basic example would be struggling with the concept...

In a manner of speaking, yes. I put him on a PIP for the second time in the 5+ years that I've managed him. He failed it again despite clearly documented goals and weekly coaching. Only this time, the PIP wasn't toothless because I was promised a replacement(I'm still pessimistic on that)...

This was the last straw with my subordinate. I've posted about him from time to time, but after many tiring years, he's finally gone. I was encouraging him to use AI more. The stupid questions we've rightfully shamed him for, he can ask the AI instead. Now, he won't spend all afternoon...

Divines already over 400c. Seems early for end of league economy.

Sure, but why are mine selling immediately while there are others at the same price listed for weeks?

Put up a batch of Synaptic Rings for 100c each....they sell almost immediately. WTF, check prices again....lots of people at 100c, for weeks. Lots of people at 105c. What's going on?

Now, all the duds.

Trust me, that has been proposed already in various forms. Someone suggested AI code decorators. Perhaps counterintuitively, this is a human problem. More AI is not the answer.

My boss will not curtail Claude's verboseness. I love getting MRs where the description dwarfs the diff. Or the diff itself packed with grey text with green background. I think I'm going to stop reading MR descriptions and code comments unless I absolutely need to. So, basically the way it was...

Boooooo! I just spent all night theorycrafting! https://pobb.in/6aoWJEXpWR5Q Still, as you say, quite good. I try to normalize "Starter" level of gear to 10s of chaos per item with a few exception. Like in this case, with tons of added flat, the obvious answer is Paradoxica. And...

Haven't had time to play with this in PoB. I was thinking the energy blade smite shell would adapt to this pretty well. Perhaps more interesting: a high end flame link build add more flat to the merc, min and max, than your merc adds max flat to you. But getting and defeating a non gay merc...

What rings are you using on the merc? The Esh rings for lighting damage -> aura effect?

How much flat would you estimate that wrath is adding? 50-2000? Rallying Cry mercs were a thing during 3.26. The ones I remember were going for maximum clunk and combined them with retaliation skills :|

Oh, that's dumb. I thought merc level was supposed to scale some generic buff stats and gate gear they could equip. Gem levels makes incremental upgrades more important and explains why the 83 combatant was trashing my control blocks combatant. This system is too powerful and only "balanced"...

How are you getting level 40 wrath? I didn't think they were skill gems.

Increased effect of non-curse auras in the presence of pinnacle bosses?

I love putting a build together in PoB only find core components that cost 10s of chaos last league now cost 10s of divines(MoM Impossible Escape). Kinda at a loss what to play. I like HRoC Necro(Gravebind and Kulemak staff with pops is required), but it can't handle Destructive Play with the...

I'm having trouble transitioning from a derpy control blocks merc to a cheap 83 merc. Am I really supposed to reset control blocks until I get a combatant without spectral helix?

Thanks. The grouping construct is what I was missing.

If you want a combatant with static strike and frost blades, both eligible for chain, how do you filter on the chain support on frost blades only?

The /review skill is multi agent. The supervisor fires up a documentation, bug, complexity, git history, etc agents, checks their findings, scores them, and then presents it to you. AFAIK, it doesn't go back to the sub agents with "no, this is dumb", so there's not really a dialogue going on...

Can you tell the difference if someone had already done an AI review on their code? If not, doesn't that imply you should review your own code similarly? If you can, do you toss the review away as it's potentially already into garbage territory? I've definitely done what your teammate has...

That's definitely a "solution" and one my boss went to almost immediately. He's on the $200 Claude Code plan and was complaining about running out of tokens 5 days into his weekly session. I was lamenting having to ask for more(because I don't think we've solved the baggage that comes with AI)...

Does anyone here use AI for reviewing code? clear conversation -> Review -> Fix or refute(and save to memory!) -> repeat I've never been able to get it to converge, it always finds new shit. And later into that cycle, a significant chunk of the findings are code changes it made.

I've been working in my codebase for over a decade, so I know it pretty well. So the planning and implementation phases go pretty quick, I asked for the changes, I have a decent idea what the results are going to look like. It saves time in where exactly to put changes. Have you been using AI...

Anyone know if Focused Channeling and Pact of Lycia will apply(and snapshot) to an existing stack of WOrb? For example, let's say you encounter a tough target and you're not sure your WOrb has the snapshot buffs. Can you safely assume pressing the Pact and channeling for 3s will apply the...

I mean that's essentially what I'm doing. It's far quicker and easier for me to type up a paragraph or two, and since I know the codebase pretty well, I can give quite specific details that mitigate wandering off and doing stupid shit. I like this from a standpoint of far fewer instances of...

My boss has continued ramping up usage of AI(Claude Code) on our team. He's rolling out a couple skills that have me a bit concerned about how many tokens I'm going be using daily and my coding skills atrophying. He developed implementing and reviewing agents that will talk and iterate with...

If no light gets to the surface, why would the Eridians give a shit about the astrophage? How would they even know about it?

Just getting to maps. Slayer Shield Crush has been a great league start, especially since Dawnbreaker is 1c, which I would not have counted on 1 day into the league. IDK if better than Ele Hit, which is likely still great despite the nerf. Just, different. League mechanic is ok. Charts seem...

I have a subordinate like that. There's something missing in their ability to apply introspection to their processes. If you have a repo the size of Android, might be fun to see how he copes with that.

How do you measure if you're too reliant on AI? My boss made an offhand remark recently that he uses Claude to do everything. I think most people interpreted it to mean within the context of coding, but I've seen him use it to write performance reviews. That aside, he's a pretty smart guy...
