I went right back to Spectral Throw but I might be a little bitch.

Ascendant also is nothing fancy for your first lab. Little stat bump, one passive point.

Socketing it in immediately at level 12 felt pretty bad but my melee striker experience is tiny.

It's an easy fix, yeah. I'm hoping Octavian was thinking about how many a normie would get and not at all about how many a big juicer would be looking at. If the top end is two a day that's going to be ass. They're going to get granular with it I think and carefully weigh both the mods...

Listening to Ziz's interview and it's sounding like the coins are rare. One or two a day rare.

I think this is the only one of Buelman's books I haven't read. Those Across the River, The Necromancer's House, The Suicide Motor Club, The Blacktongue Thief and The Daughters War were all varying degrees of good to great.

That's my reading of them https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3913568

The coins don't read that way

One in eight for Arrogance or a specific Blessing sounds pretty reasonable.

With the changes to Raise Spectre the target number is gem level thirty for level 85 spectres. That's a tall order. If you were running Wretched Defilers and you hit Returning Projectiles (66% reduced damage at 20, 70% reduced damage at 1) that would allow you to run a big Empower in that slot...

Don't forget that you can merchant recipe GCPs. One 20% quality gem can be sold for one GCP. A combination of gems totaling 40% is also one GCP. I typically have one tab designated to hold all the random quality gems that drop and then the actual proper gem tab holds a more curated pile. When...

I was initially excited at the prospect of getting spell totem support as an imbue so I could wear a real chest instead of Soul Mantle but I had forgotten that totem life is based not on the skill gem but on spell totem support itself.

To the Kinetic Blast of Clustering bros hunting for Returning Projectiles may the odds ever be in your favor. Meta skill, transmuted gem. Returning projectiles do 66% less damage at level 20 and 70% less damage at level one. Odds look around one in forty to hit but there are some other green...

I've been going over the builds I want to play and supports they would want along with how much it changes their PoBs. For spells and minions losing one gem level in exchange for one level one support, assuming the support is fine but not optimal, ranges from 10 to 15% more damage. That's fine...

I just don't want to see an actual minion meta ever again. Being meta is a good way of getting shat on whether you deserve it or not. Not being meta is a good way of getting buffs whether you deserve them or not. I think Guardian, Absolution and Raise Spectre are going to push it over the line...
