    I've finally got an exalted orb this league

    Posted: 12 Aug 2019 10:09 AM PDT

    I'm not sure if this is common knowledge but I just discovered this and I played this game since Open Beta

    You know when you shift click on currency stacks you get to choose how many stacks you separate out?

    My dumbass always thought you could only use your mouse to repeatedly click on the screen to change the stack.

    But I just learned that you can also just press the correct number on your keyboard (both top row numbers and numpad keys) to get to the right number of stacks.

    Yay less chance of RSI when trading heavily now.

    ​

    EDIT: Oh also if you press 2 numbers really fast (like 1 2) then you can select the stack number to be 12. Works with bigger stacks of currency like Scourings.

    Why Chieftain's Ngamahu, Flame's Advance doesn't have a buff icon like Elementalist's Shaper of Desolation?

    Active Mine gems are pretty bad.

    Posted: 12 Aug 2019 11:58 AM PDT

    There are 3 active mine gems, if you exclude detonate mines.

    Freeze mine, which is meant to be a support skill but is absolutely terrible after the rework to freezes years ago. The entire skill would need to have an Elemental hit level of rework to make it usable.

    Smoke mine, which is actually pretty good especially with the Helmet enchant (but it's an helmet enchant.) 30% Movement speed up to 60% for a fairly long duration is pretty good if you don't mind the clunky feeling of it. It's also extremely good for Labs and trials. As there is often a lot of dead ends that you're force to take to hit a lever so you can place a mine down touch the lever and instantly be back to where you were. The issue with that is the range is fairly small. Simply increased the AOE that you can leave before they disappear would be fine along with a local increased mine laying speed to make it feel smoother to use.

    Finally we have the only mine meant to do damage in Fire Nova mine. It's currently just a lackluster skill that only needs a few minor adjustments to make it viable. The base skill deals damage that repeats 3 times so it hits 4 times. Each repeat takes an additional 0.4 seconds before it deals damage which is modified by cast speed (I could be wrong and it might have a 0.4 delay for the first cast I'll need to make a new character with no cast speed to check.) The level 20 dps of all 4 hits is 655 per mine assuming a mine laying speed of 2 mines per second and no cast speed modifiers that's 1310, with enchant its 1725. At 3.2 and 4.8 mines laid you reach maximum DPS which this is. Factoring in the 0.5s time to place and detonate the mine, it's 500dps per mine and 714 respectively for the first set of mines until reaching maximum DPS.

    Now lets compare this to Fire ball, it deals 1369 base damage and Ignites for 1287 with a cast speed of .75 giving us a total dps of 2512. It's also Ranged. Now even if we doubled the damage to add in a +1 mine helmet that's still 2k and 2.8k Respectively.

    Now lets try to scale it with Anger. We reach 1061 and 1451 dps per mine at max dps. 809 and 1201 Factoring in the start up time.

    Without enchant, +1 mine, and with start up time it's 3236 dps or 4804 with enchant and startup.

    Fireball has a combined dps of 3602 and 2113 being ignite damage.

    ​

    It's single target if allowed to Prelay is fairly good until you factor in the fact that other skills can be used as mines and don't have to be melee or need 2s to deal the entire damage.

    ​

    I think a fairly good fix would be to increase it's Base radius per level, and give it a tag on the skill gem itself. So that Cast speed affects mine laying speed and Mine laying speed affects cast speed obviously not double dipping and creating a feedback loop. This allows players to scale the skill with investment on the tree and gear without feeling bad about taking a cast speed node over a mine laying speed node.

    Due to the fact that Ignites don't stack and that FNM has incredibly poor Ignite DPS due to its low base damage with enchant and Anger it's only 304 ignite DPS so it's either Immolate or Elemental focus for scaling.

    It's incredibly unreliable since the last 2 repeats are worth almost as much as the first 4 hits combined. The strongest hits are generally the ones that are not hitting due to a boss moving around. Very few bosses just sit there and take it. This is what separates it from Firestorm and Icestorm is that each hit is worth the same as the last while FNM not all hits are created equal. The only other solution I could think of is to give it a bear trap mechanic where it slows the Mobs helping to insure those last few hits.

    Done my first Uber Elder

    Posted: 12 Aug 2019 11:24 AM PDT

    It takes a long journey to reach this moment. Fighting sence is really exciting and not good to heart, even watched many clips, I still not well prepared, shaper shot some ball and I can't evade it, successfully kill Uber Elder while only one portal left, loot an elder unique ring.
    The hardest part is shaper, I think.

    At very beginning, I tried craft myself endgame gear, giving up after throwing in over 2000 alt but still trash mods, then I realized I have no luck.
    There's still a hope! Trade! But I don't have enough currency to buy a near GG item.
    After grinding farming Glacier everyday over 6 weeks, 4 hours a day, selling junks, exchange currencies, buy some decent gears to farm faster,
    I feel tired, last Saturday turned to try Xoph, well, spining around xoph and he down,but nothing good can loot, then I turned to try Alluring Abyss, easily down all boss and get a unique vaal mask.
    ......
    My rng is dead.
    Looting is so bad all the time.
    Then I tried to complete zana quest line - lure the Elder to the centre of atlas and beat him-.
    It really not easy, doesn't it?
    Spending many stored maps, running out of them, buy some from trade site. Really not easy to sustain maps.

    I did it!
    Although only 23 achievement done, as a casual player, I consider it's done.
    Thanks GGG, really a excellent game.
    :D Edit: layout problem

    Is there a way to know my playtime outside of Steam?

    Posted: 12 Aug 2019 04:05 AM PDT

    I always see people posting about getting this and that after X hours but I seriously haven't got a clue because I haven't played on steam in ages. How would I know how much time I have spent in the game then?

    I can't go on a character basis and add it all up because every league I delete all my previous characters. I tried looking on the website in my profile but unless I missed something it isn't there either and I haven't figured out a way to do this in-game either. Should I just make a ticket? Do they even know this themselves?

    To those of you that are into roleplaying and made original thematic builds (like a deathknight, plaguebringer, vampire archer etc.). What was the strongest or most fun character you made this way?
