    I went with Devoto's for the movement speed; I didn't see much of a need for more life. The reduced fire resist mod is nice but I'm already over 320k per ball--not counting 9% more when on consecrated ground. With a properly crafted sword, I'll be close to 400k per ball.

    The only delay is the half a second between ball spawn and target locking.

    It's definitely my favorite cyclone build. I have over 7mil dps, near 7k hp, 50% atk / 37% spell dodge, and fire leech.

    ~18ex would get you started with the vd build. The watcher's are fairly cheap 2 to 5ex--I bought a double-anger-mod plus zealotry for 8ex. The sword I picked up for 11ex and a +1 vd helm for 5ex--I'll sell you my sword so I can get the unnecessary upgrade. I'm sure there's a timeless worth...

    Bows have four top tier skills ele hit, scourge arrow, toxic rain, and tornado shot. The skills have variety until mirage archer--that'd be an interesting hole to dig themselves out of. This VD-CoC build blows away the cold-based. The cold-based seems like a gimmick where this VD version is...

    The version I did was fairly expensive. I'm not sure how budget-friendly you can go with it. All of the abyss jewels weren't cheap. Crafting the bow would be 6 to 10ex.

    While the clear speed is superior on corridor maps I feel in open maps that are specters better. Survival is pretty bad but my tree--I ran out of regrets--and gear aren't optimized

    Path of Exile

    Necro-specter competes with every expensive build I've played at a portion of the cost; bossing and clear are top tier. I was doing 350-400 delve in MF gear. I'm regretting selling off my specter build's gear.

    That's new. For the last week it's been polished and rusted at the similar price. last night I picked up six a polished for 30 each and The rusted we're still 28 29. I'm guessing that's the guy who has 1500 rusted.

    I prefer builds that move and damage to reduce the number of clicks and time per map. To me, the gameplay felt the same as brands and worb (minus the need to charge). As long as shit dies and I get loot I'm happy; or no loot because it's all filtered. I'm a heathen that plays with all...

    I did kingmaker and +3 curses for ele weakness on hit--I have not looked to see if that would over cap or I'd be using enfeeble. It's an I win button. With a diadem and desecrate on a trigger, I have died less than any other build. The necro build has become one of my favorites I've played...

    The current VD build uses Necomancer abusing Corpse Pact's unlimited cast speed. I suspect it's best for deep delving, using the stand back and summon balls strat that was popular before the PP nerf. Mistress gives about 25% of both and stacks with every other source. I'm at 170%...

    Path of Exile

    The VD build would be just to see if I can afk blight maps and maybe deep delving--the build improves on the poet's deep delve strat. I would not be doing regular mapping on it. I disagree and believe that Mistress of Sacrifice with shield charge is faster than worb. Sure, it's anecdotal but I...

    I would go with something along the lines of MeiSupportsHongKong because making Mei, the Chinese Overwatch character, into a Hong Kong independence figure is just too funny. But, this may be the first league that I don't even go for 24--maybe I farmed too hard the last league. They nerf...

    I'm already trying to address my 12-yo's anger and mixed emotions. I am dreading my toddler's response--this might be the one area I really despise her mother but I'm the one that chose to stay to this point and I will handle it as I can.

    And caretaker fatigue, with PTSD symptoms, is real too. I'm not leaving because of drug addiction. I am leaving because she has chosen to not have a shred of personal responsibility. She has used her illness as a crutch to sidestep any blame. Somehow, she can remember what she needs that is...

    My 12-yo has already mimicked my taking care of her mother in several ways. To some extent, she understands but the anger is something I will deal with as it arises. The guilt for being a fucked example is helping me stay on my path. You would be correct. She was abusing her opiates...

    It would seem so at first. The MCI and narcolepsy are a result of her own actions. I've realized that I put the blame on those conditions, despite fully knowing she did it to her self, as a way to justify staying and remaining in the caretaker role. But, looking back, I can see that quite a few...

    According to the pcinvasion article, it's 364 possible, including the 13 secret passives. edit: looked at the math. x^3=364 -> x = ~5.38 different oils unless there are more possible outcomes for amulets than the article says. That also assumes it's a combination of 3 only.

    I like that the oil recipes will be set and have no random element. A free passive will be interesting. The 13 secret passives might include some of value.

    I'm expecting blight content to be another loot pinata. I'm going to league start with a Toxic Rain ranger, farm, then play w/e the interesting meta is. Though, totems seem like they'll be pretty good for blight content.

    I had planned to play WoW-Classic, that was until I played the stress test last weekend. It's too slow-paced for me. I recall enjoying the quest leveling but I was not a fan this time. I even picked a class I hadn't played before.
