    The ML selector is insane. I'd prioritize my thinking in this order: 1) Dark Corvus. He wins every Arena and GvG match on offense. Hard to build and incredibly niche in PvE (perhaps the hard tower or the world boss?), but he's the strongest offense PvP unit in the game. He's the closest thing...

    Max got the bigger shots in every round. Frankie never presented a danger. It helped Max's case that Frankie was the one bloodied up because MMA judges are shit at judging damage, but it was an easy 50 points for Max; giving Frankie 9 points in every round was maybe even a bit generous, but...

    Agree to disagree. No one wants to be the ref that let the guy die in the cage. Any fighters on these main card fights in the UFC will have more chances. Think Lawler–Askren was an early stop? He'll have an opportunity to earn his way back up to the top. Think Ladd got saved by the referee...

    The best fighters always want to fight back. They'll fight through a broken nose, broken hand, completely torn knee, or worse and risk permanent hard to themselves. The referee's job is to temper that. Yes, these two athletes locked themselves in a cage to get punched in the face, but there's a...

    Ref gave the kid a long ass time to respond. Herb would've stopped it much earlier. Not an early stop, maybe a late one.

    That's easy. The boss is doing scripted autoattacks 90% of the time – you take a little damage every two seconds.

    Nice writeup. I agree. Bones was needlessly tentative and lacked killer instinct which is silly given the number of times his opponent was in vulnerable positions. Ultimately as a fight fan, it's not fun to watch champs fight like this. We didn't like it with Woodley and if people catch on to...

    Yeah. It's in the rules that needless brain damage and excess head trauma is ok as long as it's for a belt.

    Different perspective: He's a jack of all trades and wrecks face for Odin in 3 elements, can be your primary DPS in 3 magicites, and is a king no matter how you build your FFXV torment team. This is his first relevant soulbreak ever and singlehandedly allows you to use him in end-game content...

    Because combat is a bad school without elemental coverage that doesn't have a place in hard content. All his prior relics are useless in any sort of content the game has been putting out for years and the devs finally sacked up and did it. Play him as a monster DPS on fire, earth, or lightning...

    Fact is Stipe has the best resume in the HW division. He doesn't sell fights, doesn't get along with Dana, and doesn't get paid though. Stipe is also the most obvious matchup for Bones because he's closer to a LHW that doesn't cut weight rather than a true HW. He's also the best head to hunt...

    It's a natural progression from 2.48 to 3.0 or whatever the MSQ patches are. Same way that 3.48 will breadcrumb you into 4.0. The new expansion starts after you've completed the 2.x storyline. If you're watching cutscenes and reading the dialogue, you can't miss it. If you notice your...

    Yeah, world first guilds don't have a ton of free time that this poopsock will require. Also Classic takes 40 humans, BfA raiding takes just 20. It's possible Method, etc. form up a Classic team, but they'll be largely separate from their BfA roster in everything but name and $pon$hor$hip$.

    Yeah, ilvl 210 is super low on a tank. Prioritize upgrading your left-side pieces; these have armor. Right side pieces will get you a lot of hp, but this is secondary. You could also buy shitty white quality vendor gear that's ilvl 270 or whatever in the Stormblood zones. At the end of the day...

    Poetics are for level 50 gear (ilvl 130) and level 60 gear (ilvl 270). After you have those, you can buy backup gears for your retainers, for future alt jobs, or for glamor. Alternatively, you can use poetics for relic weapons (these will take in excess of 20,000 poetics each, plus a bunch of...

    The level 70 dungeons will always have ilvl caps. The non-level capped dungeons (e.g., 72, 74, 76, etc.) won't and you'll be able to buy high ilvl vendor gear with the new expansion.

    Best thing the streamers have done is allowing the dev team to see the new sharding in action and see how the server reacts to large numbers of players in one place. They're largely tuning the servers for performance at this point and the beta is doing that much easier (and cheaper) than their...

    You can also change the sizes of everything. I think my minimap is only 70% size, for example. It's a lot more customizable than WoW's stock interface, but the lack of mods makes it more limited overall (but "everyone is on even footing" and "PS4 players aren't left behind"). The UI is...
