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...

Also, I think the HoMM3 HD Edition is some shitty reskin of the original and doesn't include all of the content.

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...

He's wearing whacky gear to throw you off the trail! I seriously doubt Death's Bargain has anything to do with his clear.

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.

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...

I'm not personally offended. Just tired of anyone having to articulate their position to the finest detail to prevent you from swooping in with your preachy attitude for the umpteenth time. You don't think a guy that has already owned a house and had it taken it from him(for whatever reason)...

But only Khane's posts. Only read his posts.

Vodka!

Sure, but that seems like a really inefficient way to pick up 50% DR. Most people use Unity, WW4, and Ignore Pain to get 3 sources of almost perma DR%.

Outside of CC immunity, I'm liking WW6 and BK2 much more than WW6/IK4. I'm playing non seasonal, so OROZ is not an option for now. Protip: LoH is being severely underrated in DD builds. Assuming the DD hits at least one target, it procs LoH in addition to WW.

Regarding the discussion of when to play hearthstone, does anyone know of a webpage that tracks how many people are playing and when? It doesn't even have to be hearthstone. I tried correlating it to Steam's stat page, but that just has "users online" and I don't think that's accurate enough.

Nope, disregard my last two posts.

Prophet is by far the best rune. Especially if you want it just for "you fucked up" reasons. It has cheat death built in! The two piece bonus only benefits 2 categories of skills, and you only have one on your bar. And it has a rune that works against the Roland 2pc at that. You don't...
