New player - when should I choose a 2nd mastery?

Hi all! I bought the Grim Dawn Definitive Edition and trying the game out today for the first time. I went with a shaman as my first character, and do not want to follow any build guides for my first time around. I am a huge PoE 1/ D2 nerd so I am not new to ARPGs as a whole, however I will say that I am overwhelmed so far with this game.

When exactly should I consider locking in my 2nd mastery choice? Since I have never played the game before, I have no idea what my build will end up being, so I have no clue what mastery to even consider. At the moment I am enjoying running around with Primal Strike/ Savagery for single target.

Any tips?

How do you not get burnt out from TFT?

I love TFT, and have ended up playing at least a little bit of each set. With that being said, I do feel like I find myself getting bored of a set pretty quickly. I think this is because TFT usually ends up favoring a few limited comps that end up being super meta and it gets stale hunting for the same 5 cost units.

What could I be missing to help me stay more interested in a current set? Maybe I’m trying to follow websites like metatft too closely?

What is it about TFT that lets you climb the ladder in a set?

How is solo queue as support?

Hi all! I main jungle, but recently I’ve been thinking about learning and trying out support. Jungle is very tiring, and one small mistake sets you back so far that I’m kind of over it (on top of every sin on your team being your fault).

I have friends that I duo with that are all ADC players which makes support more tempting.

My question is how realistic is it to climb playing support as a solo? Any tips you would give to a new support player in regard to when to roam, good champ picks, etc?

New to SSF - Why do delve?

I am new to SSF and trying to learn as much as I can through watching some streams in addition to playing. I saw that Ben was running a lot of delve on his luminary, and I was curious what the benefits are to spending time in Delve for SSF.

2019 STI fuel smell inside and outside car

Hi all, I bought my 2019 STI about 2 months ago now and have been loving the car (56k miles, completely stock aside from a Cobb titanium exhaust and koyorad radiator). About a week ago I drove the car in extreme heat (110+ outside) and noticed a smell of raw fuel in the cabin. When I parked I noticed it outside of the driver’s side front door as well. Drove it home later on and had 0 issues, no change in mpg or check engine lights. Car has been driving totally normal, and hasn’t smelled again until today. Should also note that I had fully filled up the car the day before this happened.

Skip to today, It was another very hot day, and I was driving in peak temperatures (also 110+, has been a bit cooler the last few days). I was near empty on fuel and put in about a half tank of gas. For the first 80% of my drive i had no fuel smell until i stopped in a drive thru and started to smell fuel again. Once I smelled it i pulled over and looked under the car, saw nothing leaking. Checked under the hood and didn’t see anything, and also didn’t smell fuel. It seems to be focused around the drivers side front door or at least behind the motor. Once I started driving again the smell went away, and could only be smelled again once I stopped to park at home. I did not drive the car hard at all, it has been and will be babied in the summer due to the temperatures where I live.

I wonder if it could be something related to the evap system in extreme heat?

I’m going to make an appointment at a local Subaru dealership (I usually go to a performance Subaru shop, but they are further away and will have a longer wait time). What do you guys think could be wrong? Should I avoid driving the car?

Is it worth running betrayal at atlas start?

Curious what everyone's thoughts are on going into betrayal for a fresh atlas with the hopes of getting a mageblood card. Is it worth farming right off the bat or coming back to it later on?

I'm between following Ben's atlas progression or Manni's.

First time playing warrior - when to swap from arms to fury?

Playing warrior for my first time (currently level 43). I've been running 2H arms up to now, and tanking each dungeon using the same spec. At what point do I want to make the swap to dual wield fury? Am I still able to tank dungeons in fury or will I need to try and get dual spec for prot?

Is it worth leveling engineering past 150 pre 60?

This is probably a stupid question but is it worth the investment to level engineering past 150 while leveling? I'm thinking about selling the mats I get from mining to help fund my mount and come back to level engineering later assuming I make it to 60. Or are there unlocks after goggles/ target dummies that would make it worth investing my mining mats into leveling engineering?

I'm playing a mage btw

Playing paladin for the first time in classic, questions about prot paladin leveling

Hi all! I recently started a paladin for the first time in classic, and I’m trying to learn a bit about the class. I’ve listened to some of pallytime’s videos about stam / int / spirit prot pally and I’m curious to try it. I’m planning on tanking or healing every dungeon, and chill questing outside of that. I don’t know that I’d want to be doing some aoe grinding per se (this could change later on).

Does this build work well assuming that I’ll be primarily questing and not dedicated aoe farming? I just want to do some chill questing while being able to pull multiple mobs and be tankier. Or would I be better off just going ret instead?

Manual grinder for funky light roasts

Looking to upgrade from my old J-Max as I now have a dedicated espresso grinder, and want something a bit better for pour overs.

I exclusively drink light roasts, and love to dabble into some of the funky coferments/ anaerobic coffees. It seems like the ZP6 may not be the best choice for me as I’ve heard that’s better for washed/ natural coffees.

Any recommendations? X Ultra? K Ultra?

Ice Shot Deadeye or Hollow Form/ Whirling Assault Martial Artist (reroll for headhunter drop)

I got a headhunter in SSF, and trying to decide which build to reroll that would get the most use out of the belt. Is either build smoother or just generally more recommended than the other?

Just got headhunter on SSF, what should I reroll for it?

I'm playing Djinn at the moment, and got a headhunter in a ritual. I'm debating maybe rerolling into a new build that could use the headhunter better than Djinn (unless Djinn is a good build for the belt, I haven't actually gotten it out of ritual yet). Are there any builds in particular that get a lot of value out of headhunter? It looks like a majority of builds in SSF on poe ninja that are using it are monks.

I could also potentially migrate to trade and sell it to fund something else?

SSF Djinn - Best way to get + minion skill amulet?

I finally got all of liquids I need to annoint an amulet with dominion, however I cannot for the life of me find an amulet with + minion skills. What's my best bet to get one? Is it possible to craft somehow? Or is my best bet just farming breach and gambling when I have gold?

Also, for anyone else that is playing Djinns, is it worth swapping to Navira's for clear? I don't have the gems to try it out, but I see that not a lot of people are running it in SSF.

Loving the feel of the new U9 6.5mm skates so far, however I am running into a tracking issue that is making the skates almost unusable. Occasionally, my cursor will snap vertically to the far top or bottom of my screen. I have upped my LOD on the superlight to High, and set the gaming mode to Auto, however it is still happening.

So far I have tried a few X-Raypad dot skates on the SP004 and never had this issue. Is this happening for anyone else/ is there anything additional I could do to remedy this?
