Hammer player, running support, running Gog dragon hammer with meta Ful-Gog-Udra setup.

As I'm perfecting phase 1 and 2, my success rate in Phase 3 has plummeted. I'm not even being carted other than the dps check fail. I'm dropping both boulders during nova 2 and nova 3, feeling like I'm hitting him well with the windows I'm given. I use the plateau even though I mostly succeed in phase 1.

So the things I wanted to check:

1. Does the dps or actions of any other phase affect the success of phase 3?

2. Does signalling the support hunters drop their dps?

3. Is downing the flying Gog merely a dps check since he's started flying? Is it cumulative?

I feel like I'm doing far

I have a modest setup, an old Sony STR-DG720 with newer speakers, fronts a pair of SS-CS5, and a center SS-CS8 and a subwoofer. With time the front speakers have been getting quieter and quieter while the center gets (relatively) louder and louder. I've played with every setting theoretically possible, with center at -10, and every eq, sound setting available. Obviously, having a great center speaker sound makes it tolerable, but starting to get into the turning it up for games and non-dialog heavy movies/shows and then it'll whip lash you with crazy loud vocals.

I've checked the wires, ran then to both speaker A and Speaker B position on the receiver, used banana clips vs just tighten

I've got a fairly high end mana/ES version of Hexblast my PoB.... not sure how well it works to link, need to make adjustments for despair and balance of terror. Pretty much capped on what I can do with the build, so was looking to make the switch to rathpit version so that I could hopefully keep a similar dps while being less of a glass cannon. I'm having a really hard time figuring out how to make that switch without making a ton of expensive mistakes.

Came back from a Christmas dinner to have my newish build smelling burnt and unable to display anything.

For my build, I basically replaced the mb, ram and CPU. Everything ran well, temps in the normal range. Older GPU seemed to stay in normal temp ranges.

I checked the GPU and it smelled super burnt. Pretty sure the primary failure was there. I think I walked away with a game minimized.

Sadly I wasn't able to get the bios to display when I installed an older GPU or the onboard GPU port. The startup seems to run. From what little I can tell it seems like it's likely booting to Windows. No beeps or hiccups. I pulled the battery to reset cmos. No luck.

So now I'm stuck with

My daughters and I go on walks together with Pokemongo. I have a normal phone, they have two old phones with no sim cards tethered to my phone. 3 weeks ago, their phones quit being able to log in to Niantic Kids. They get the "unable to authenticate" error. I've tried just about everything under the sun to fix it. I've reset their cache, install, factory defaulted their phones, changed passwords, refreshed permissions in Niantic, pokemon trainer's club, etc etc. Nothing I do can fix them loging onto their phone.

But here's the weird part: I can log into their Niantic Kids accounts on my modern phone. I can log onto my google account on their wi-fi only phones. The only interactio

A week ago my PC completely crashed and couldn't even get to bios. I eventually diagnosed the issue being the SSD I was using as my OS drive (it would at least go to bios if I unplugged it). Bought a new SSD and reinstalled windows and mostly recovered my PC. Was able to wipe the old SSD os drive and it worked as a storage device.

Mostly went back to normal after I got everything back together, except for reboots and waking. Both are terrible, were talking windows 95 era 2 minute wake and the reboots fail about 50% of the time randomly for a black screen between bios and windows loading. Also the wakes from sleep fail.

I've unplugged every other HDD and still getting issues. I've

I've been running Bane one a six link staff with Blight cwc Soulrend on the chest. I took the obvious aoe caster staff cluster Enigmatic reach for Bane (and blight). I was tempted by Enigmatic Defense as well.

While unholy might won't help me, the combination of block + spell damage seems like a pretty efficient node. Was wondering what people thought? Is it worth it without the unholy might value?

Anyone find the dot recipe yet? It states it's in the Lab part of Crypt. Looked there twice and haven't seen it at all.

New event in the City Center to introduce the Repositorium is a pretty great source of gold. Expensive by stamina, but it gives no items that would stop your run. If you're sitting on 40k+ stamina like me with 1k potions sitting around, it's a great way of just setting it on auto and letting it run forever in the background.

I have a loose final build based on Tarke's CI arc trapper: https://pastebin.com/Pt0vZ2FP

The build seems to be doing fine in early maps (and CI works pretty well so far this league), but I'm struggling with my links, or perhaps my skillbar.

Obviously this build needs some defensive work: I added a Cwdt-IC-Phase run-IncDur. I wish decoy totem still worked there, but oh well. I feel like this could be better for the build... as I normally only get hit once as I sprint away from my traps.

I've seen some builds use curse on hit with OoS, but I've found this to be extremely awkward to make useful. Also, the build struggles to keep up 6 power charges

What do Hammer Bros use in the few minutes that they are away from the glory that is hammer?

Was looking for a ranged and perhaps a quick strike weapon for faster mons. Wanted something that felt completely different for a break from completely smacking face and dominating.

I was loosely following Mathil's SR Trickster from Harbinger league. I happened upon a Balefire while leveling, and it's putting out enough damage for me to be content for a long time.

So I got a good deal on a six-link, and I was wondering what people would use it for? I thought I might try triple curse with elemental weakness and flammability and use the six link to make a mega Orb of storms spell with chain/arcane surge/cast on hit/two curses.

What are some other good ideas for the freed up six link for the build? I know RF is a paired spell (but is pretty pricey overall?).

I have been looking for a small to kid size setup for the kitchen and front room. I was hoping for it to be able to read networked files (or a Google music account if necessary), play Pandora and Spotify.

The issue I have is that my wife isn't super technically inclined, and doesn't carry her phone much. Almost all the current systems assume a single connection to a phone that may or may not be available. I do have a old htc m8 I could turn into a full time music player if necessary... But I was hoping there was a system with a more baked in solution. Are there any non crazy expensive setups that allow for you to controller one or two speakers over WiFi with an actual dedicated control
