    You can get about any spell-based build working with mana guardian. I tried a storm brand based one, it was alright. The dps might have been lower than I'd liked. And I didn't like how brands popped legions.

    No, didn't end up buying one of those, they're more than I wanted to invest in that character.

    Triple post! This deserves its own post though. They REALLY need to unfuck multistrike. Years of muscle memory have conditioned players to holding down "move" and interrupting it with multistrike. Now that these two can interrupt each other, the support is essentially broken. Multistrike is...

    Separate post on purpose because other one was too big. I have 7ex and ~100c in currency leftover. I also have a decently well geared physical cyclone slayer(AhShit|HereWeGoAgain) and an extremely well geared ED/Contagion guardian(StopMeBeforeIReroll). If anyone wants the currency or gear...

    Got 37 last night, done with league. Getting to 37 always ends up feeling like a slog, so I'm trying to be objective here. I usually take 6-7 weeks to get 37 but it was closer to 8 this time. There was definitely a lot of new shit to try, so I'm going to rate this league pretty high on the...

    I'm pretty sure they thought of that. The issue they likely couldn't solve is how it's easy for a fair amount of cyclone builds to have a mana cost that leech can't handle if they don't completely negate it.

    MTG: Arena

    Just think of all the faggots that rope on PC currently, then multiply that amount by 10 due to inherent UI clunkiness slowing down turns.

    My ED/Contagion Mana Guardian clears juiced up T16s no problem but bosses take way too much time to kill in 4+ emblem fights. I just focus on clearing trash, bosses dieing is a bonus.

    Fallout 76

    What if supporting this game indirectly results in more Internet Historian videos? Some of his videos are a bit iffy but Fallout 76 was great. Even my son liked it and he has no fucking clue what Fallout 76 is.

    Wasn't there tons of political intrigue in the Witcher series? I gave up on 2 and 3 early because I didn't like the gameplay, but I remember 1 essentially being about political intrigue while you go kill monsters(and humans).

    Top Gun: Maverick (2020)

    Why? Rich guy wants to do expensive and impressive stunts and you get to come along for the ride. It's like Adam Sandler and his movies except the result isn't you just watched his vacation and 2 hours of fart and fat jokes.

    Close Combat is for the full damage bonus on targets that cannot be knocked back. Anything you get on other targets is just gravy. You want movement speed bonus during mapping.

    Fair enough, I'll admit I'm likely being lazy in this matter. What are the fees for liquidating your investments?

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Liquid assets for emergencies? I like to keep ~6 months of expenditures in cash on hand in case I get laid off. That's around $50k. I could probably invest some of that, but meh. I'm not really sure it's worth the hassle and fees having to sell shares in that situation.

    So you're saying your replacement can't read documentation? I wish it was easy to fire people.

    My build testing spree continues. Who here has played spectres? The new Slave Drivers look interesting. Do they pop legions decently? Or is minion AI still an issue? Are necros decently tanky?

    I've been at this place a bit over 5 years, but I was promoted ~2 years into a managerial position. I feel like I still have a lot to learn in that respect. But, I think it's time to start casually looking.

    Damnit, got a 3.5/5 when I wanted a 4. My boss says he rarely gives out 4s. Also said my predecessor, who'd worked this job for 8 years and at least 50h/week usually got a 3. It's probably 1% difference on my yearly bonus and raise, maybe it's not worth the monumental effort? And maybe I...

    Definitely a sizeable increase for ED. The shield has a hefty reservation reduction and blood magic support nearly double the mana reservation cost. Essentially, you can't fit in some of those auras if you ditch the shield. And I have no open links on my boots!

    yes, but then you lose that sweet shield. I've actually found that if you care about the damage of your blight, bows are overall dps neutral.

    Just 13 minutes ago, one(of 3) of our git pipeline machines failed due to 3 damaged disks from the AC going out. There were people here and still damage was not prevented. I really don't see why they wouldn't use an automated shutdown routine once temperature passes a certain point. My...

    My point is that with Cyclone, you're pretty much guaranteed to be on that 0.3s CD. If you use Rage support, you build your rage to max in ~10s. However, in your case, due to granularity of attack and I'm guessing not using Rage support, you're building rage only once every 0.4s, that's ~20s...

    Don't know if our servers have that option. I know for certain some of them don't. We have ancient hardware because we build installers for some esoteric platforms.

    @Kiki has the right of it. Alerts are not good enough, what if everyone is sleeping? Uptime is stupid, I'm not going to complain about my machines being shutdown if the alternative was them getting cooked.

    What's your attack time on Sweep? That may have been a bad choice for stacking rage and Blitz charges. Most people aren't complaining because they tried Berserker with Cyclone ;)

    The gear and tree requirements for a CoC build is likely too high. You sacrifice too much dps for the tankiness gains. I tried a scourge arrow build for shits and giggles and gave up after 5 minutes. The archetypes I listed work because they don't have much scaling outside of a few pieces of...

    The build is fine, I just couldn't get it to click in a cohesive zoom zoom manner. It felt like I was fighting fb in interaction more than benefitting from it. ED contagion suffers from similar issues, just not as severely. Think of the times you cast contagion twice and ED none. Or you send it...
