    Do you 2008 to happen again? Because that's how you get 2008. I'm kidding. Irresponsible buyers were only a small small part of the problem.

    Really, it doesn't pick up? Darn. I think even with the FCR mod, combat is still bumming me out. It's not dodge bullshit anymore, but instead aard-whack-whack repeat. There's not enough decision making going on. The voice acting is great, the story is bland so far(not sure how much I...

    Do you still get all of your data routed through a server farm in Florida? Pings of 250+ ms kinda kills LTE speeds.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I agree with you there. Ideally, LoH and LPFS to diversify your healing sources. But only the runes on IP or WoTB. As an affix, LPFS feels really underpowered, especially on weapons.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I'm not saying 5k lpfs is insignificant. LoH, in this build, returns more. If you assume your dust devils hit at least one target, 20k of LoH(bare minimum for an ancient 1H weapon) returns approximately 20k * 3 * APS per second. At 2.5 APS, that's around 150k lps. 5k lpfs, assuming 20 rage...

    ItF is marginally better, but it does mean more blood funnel. I disagree about the healing part, I'll take as much as I can get. LoH on one weapon will easily out-do the IIB rune.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Don't spam overpower. The quicker you put it back on cooldown, the more zodiac procs it will eat. The damage it does is insignificant, just keep the buff up. That small change means you might be able to drop CDR from your weapon. Why bloodshed instead of ItF or StP?

    Vinen, with the money you say you make, I'm willing to bet you still see people coming well before they can see your computer screen.

    Yeah, I'm the other end of the spectrum. Even if people know I'm getting my work done, I'm still wary of letting them see me not doing work. Like, why risk it?

    That may be its intention, doesn't quite work. People like me are smart enough to work around it. If I need distractions from the drudgery to stay productive, I'll find it. I get much more work done over the long haul if I can freely flake off at my own discretion. I used to feel bad about...

    Can't listen to music at work because it means I can't hear people coming and alt-tab away from not doing work fast enough. I really hate open cubicle designs.

    I don't see how CoTA + RoRG is better than a free gear slot and Unity.

    You should definitely go the gigalo route. Make more money, meet women who make a lot of money(see marriage thread), then become disappointed when those women fail your impossible standards.

    Strongarms are part of the DIBS category, so I'm not sure that's worth it over the better Ignore Pain runes. Bloodshed has been nerfed, ItF is better for straight dps. IAS might be better than damage% if it lets you reach a breakpoint.

    That setup has fantastic AE damage if you go slaughter and miri, but it's STD is horrible. Plus, you probably still need a Unity at higher grifts.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    The levels of difficulty where a WW barb can use F/R, getting hit while not WWing really doesn't matter. Merciless Charge with the cooldown reduction rune provides some nice utility towards improving clear speed. Gogok + 10% paragon almost gets it to 5s cooldown too.

    You can't use F/R with WW/IK.

    This is why I dislike lambda functions. I'm still new to them, so maybe I need to work with them a bit more, but they almost always seem to add to code complexity while solving something mostly trivial.

    Was this FCR2 something you had to install manually? Or if you tried the game within the last year or so, it would have this update automatically from Steam?

    I could never get into Witcher 2. I've downloaded it at least 3 separate times and uninstalled it to make room on my SSD for other games. The combat just bugs me. I hate systems that I can't analyze. Made the combat feel "twitchy" because you had to err on the side of caution. Felt stupid...

    Picks cannot be made outside of context. Silver Hand Knight or Gilblin Stalker? Your existing curve and how many picks you have left will likely tell you which is better.

    Have you been tracking your picks? Easiest way to get help is to post drafts that go poorly and ask how you could have picked better. Playing is different. I like watching these guys: https://www.youtube.com/user/adwcta They play really slow, but there's a lot to learn about what...

    I can solo clear high 30s grift in ~4 minutes, but I can't speed clear it like I can a T6 rift. Still have to pay attention and play cautiously, so I still T6 for farming items. I'll probably go back to 38 grifts when I get bored and need to switch something up. And they REALLY need to...

    Are the apartment and house even comparable on square footage? Also, nice job on mentioning the amount interest you pay, now we can get a Khane 2fer as he recycles his diatribe about how you're useless scum if you don't put 110% down and have a 2 month loan term.

    Pushing grifts would be more fun if we had the appropriate knobs to tweak. Fishing for pylons and stonesinger is more effective than trying different types of gear, so zzzzzzz.

    Hearthstone

    Within the context of Blizzard's shitty matchmaking algorithm and ladder system, I think the balance is already too far in favor of control. It's quite easy for players to start out fresh, gain a few ranks, then run into a wall of players with 3-4 legendaries and more epics. This change would...

    As annoying as agro and zoo decks can be(and they are annoying), tipping the balance back towards tempo/control will make the barrier for entry even bigger. Part of the reason I despise constructed because it means I have to play people who beat me purely because they spent more money on the game.

    The production value in 5 was absolutely horrible, but they had some interesting gameplay ideas. Using excess resources to power dwarven runes during combat was pretty cool. Teleporting, double striking dorfs with that chain lightning were rape machines, providing you killed enough of their...

    Savage roar won me a game(that I had already won). I agree, the wrath was better in retrospect. Ancient of Lore, not sure that would have mattered. The games were over by turn 6 or 7 because of how poorly this deck curved out. Never got to and draw the Force of Nature. AoL still might have...

    That alone sounds awesome! Dust Devils have some more interesting mechanics too. They proc LoH in full, independent of WW's channeled LoH and they spawn at 2x APS. So, it makes IAS somewhat competitive again.

    Hearthstone

    Let me start off by saying that I more than likely suck at drafting. How would you draft this differently: Hearth Arena - Beyond the Tier List Went 2-3 with the deck and every loss was a poor curve with a least 1-2 dead or inefficient turns.

    Lut Socks still drop. Not a great set though. Fun but kinda clunky at killing. Which is why I like WW so much. It is admittedly kinda boring, but moving while doing damage is REALLY powerful in this game. Having to stop to cast something or swing your hammer can very easily be what kills...
