I've tried applying to entry level positions when I had a few years experience. I was unemployed, can't be picky. The HR for the company(IBM) stipulated that only fresh college graduates could be hired for the position, doesn't matter if I was willing to work that pay or if the manager thought...

Never gotten a good Hellfire amulet. Not that I've really tried. The amount of time required to get a good one is quite obvious from the outset. Worse than gambling for weapons.

Sorry, this post was written so borderline generically it sounded like you got her a vibrator. Which, you should, btw. Those Hitachi magic wands or whatever. It qualifies as a power tool because it's supposed to be a back massager, but no one uses it that way.

The example wasn't supposed to be something that would be vital to playing arena well. It was an example something someone who's played a lot of arena would know off the top of their head. A byproduct, so to speak, of being able to play at a high level and chain arenas. I'm not sure...

What's the difference? It's been so long since I've played MTG. My frustration is that I've basically reached my limit on what casual arena will teach me. I can watch that youtube video about whatever situation, but I actually need to experience it a bunch of times to beat into my head and...

I think I'm into double digit uninstallations of this game. Arena would be so much more fun if I could, you know, actually practice and play it with any regularity. Nope, 4-3 and 60g, back to getting your ass beat in constructed. Hope you remembered those mistakes you made and don't repeat...

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.

DH and Monk can play just as fast.

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.

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.

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.

Weird way to spite someone.

Does asking if this a troll thread play into the troll's game?

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.

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.

I thought the xp from helm ruby wasn't multiplicative with torment level xp.

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...

Blastmage become Lost Tallstrider in that instance, so not a bad pick, especially if he needed four drops.

How do you fail that test? I've never been asked it, had to google it, but it seems pretty simple.

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.

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...
