    What do you do?

    Nice, I worked for GM in eCommerce for years (well GMAC specifically before it was sold off). I really enjoyed working for them, sucks that the market has really turned against them these last few years :/

    How is your internet connection? I get long load and save times if I am downloading p0rn or something in the background because it is saving the profile to steam cloud. Otherwise, as people have said, 10 seconds max. I am not sure on leech talent, but most of the heals in this game scale...

    Not sure on either of those sorry. Here is a pretty complete list, but those aren't on it The debuff is 4 actions points, the stuns and knockdowns are all at least that much and generally have longish cooldowns so it is well worth it in my opinion to avoid them 'missing'

    Lol, my average at all inclusives is between 4-6 lbs. I am a total slob when there though and never set foot inside the gym (though I do swim a fair bit). The effing squishy drinks man... they are killer!

    What game developers are auto purchase for you?

    Was Bethesda before they tried an MMO..... I still buy Valve and BioWare day 1 (despite Dragon Age 2), and now, after Divinity: Original Sin, I will buy Larius Studios as well.

    As mentioned, Str helps your knock-down, I believe it is Dex for rogues trip/blind/stun. They are particularly important on 'Hard' or when fighting a higher level mob since you have a 100% chance to hit a prone or stunned mob. Also, a door blocked up with stunned mobs prevents others from...

    This. It is even more important when you are running with only 2 characters. You let yourself get cc'd and it is likely game over. Lots of counter measures available for cc, not the least of which is the most obvious (yet probably the biggest offender) of "don't stand out in the open where 5...

    Me too. I had nothing going on this weekend past and totally lost myself in it for hours. First time that has happened in literally years. I can't wait to see some of the stuff the community does with this as well. I have not played with the tools, but some of the scripting I have seen in...

    Well I would agree with archery being a bit lack-luster. I will also say that their itemization needs a bit of work as well. My rogue has yet to get an artifact or unique (piercing) sword or bow meanwhile the number of unique and artifact axes, (slashing) swords and 2 handed weapons is up...

    Really? That makes sense actually as to why it is so rare as I 'think' it is 100% hit chance without being under negative mods from curse etc. Good catch Caliane!

    Divinity Original Sin Enhanced Edition

    No experience with Rangers in this game yet, but if you are finding rogues under-powered you might be going about them wrong. Mobs don't turn around on your turn (well sometimes; this is a little buggy but it is EXTREMELY rare that they turn around on your turn) which means your rogue can...

    What Grimm said. From your post I am guessing you wanted to keep Valk as your lead, and for farming that is fine, but you are going to want Bast as your lead for more difficult content so practice matching with her when possible (good news is Valk and Ama are both great on a Bast lead team and...

    As the others have said, it does. It is a little bit rare in that it needs to ignite the mob (aka needs to be successful) but most mobs are not immune to burning. That said, it can lead to some pretty epic combos as others have alluded to, especially since my rogue has the highest initiative...

    Shitty interface, sadly. That said, if you apply for a job through LinkedIn you can attach your flashy 'real' resume as part of that interface.

    Set up a good LinkedIn profile and post a professional level resume to it -- I have had several head-hunters approach me through this channel. If you haven't done a resume in a while, make sure you get feedback from someone who has (hell if you want, I will take a look at it for you) because...

    Yeah, I am not at home but my knight has two 'Orange' (artifiact?) level 2 handers that require 9 str that are a bit nicer. I will post them when I get home. Both came from the ornate chests from the pillar event.

    This game is great. I have not enjoyed a tactical / RPG game this much since Baldur's gate series. There are a few bugs etc, but I am really enjoying it. Some of the puzzles are actually pretty legit as well (elemental pillars took me a good while but the rewards were very worth the effort)...

    Hope that works out for you. I did something similar (at exactly the same age) and frankly it has been hell. It has given me the latitude financially that I can now semi-retire at 40 and honestly I still would not make the same decision again. The cost on your life, your family and you can be...

    Ronia was dicey on Mythical. Crappy cyclops wave is very early and has a LOT of hps to burn through for a Ronia team. Legendary I had no issues, but could not burst enough on Myth to do it. YMMV

    Mother was an office manager, father was a professional grade fuck-up at pretty much every job there is to be had. Edit: Sorry to those folks in this thread speaking of their parents in the past tense, that is a tough loss that I am not looking forward to, despite the harsh words for my father.

    I don't believe Eidal is saying they are essential either, just that they are highly efficient. Point we are both driving to is that if you want to maximize yours time at the gym (or more to the point minimize the time you need to spend there vs. doing other crap), squats and deadlifts are the...

    Technology strategy for one of the bigger financial institutions in Canada. That said, I just gave them my notice. Moving out of the city (house already sold) and using the equity to spend a month in Hawaii and take a year off. From there, no idea but nothing fucking corporate or in a major...

    Yep, or only going down half way (i.e., not actually going the full range of motion). You are much better off doing your 80% or whatever your program is calling for with a full range of motion than trying to stack on more weight and only half-assing how deep you go. I kinda suck at cleans so...

    I love Asus for gaming and would definitely go back to it if they had something smaller form factor. Their driver support is a bit on the meh side, but you cannot beat the bang for the buck you get on the hardware side.

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    There was a lot of bitching about Watch Dogs delay? I thought that thread just devolved into Sean bashing for 5 pages and then the game came out. As to TESO, I can't comment. I did not follow that one at all since I determined in pretty early beta that the turd was strong with it.

    Found another option as well that looks really good, Aorus X7. I like the looks of it even better. Don't deliver to Canada which is going to be a bit of a hassle, but might go in that direction instead when the dual 860 series comes out next month.
