    Maxroll hasn't let me down yet, so I usually just follow their guides (HERE). Some people have talked about a site called Mobalytics too (HERE), which vary a bit from Maxroll, but I only looked over a few of their builds. I don't know how to evaluate who's a good player/writer on Mobalytics...

    I think those early reports of 10 royal into a random gem were incorrect/speculation and people were confusing it with the 5 grand into 1 horadric gem, then 10 horodric into 1 super duper horadric gem.

    Once it was moderately geared, I liked the Tyrant's grip build the best out of the four I tried (other three were dread claw leveling up, then after the season was complete, Fissure for about 10 min, and Apoc for a few hours). Tyrant could eat two or three "stand in fire" bad explosions then...

    Oh noes, the best Huskar pieces are no drop now (helm/chest) and I think I took mine off my tank and gave them to my shaman to run around as a big green ogre beatle for the end of the test! /petition to implement account bound items

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    He is being called an "incel" because he started the incel thread and kept pushing their point of view to "educate" people about it. Then the boards king troll went into the thread and he "was just trolling back" with more and more ridiculous arguments. Eventually he seemed to have a deep hatred...

    In the couple reddit threads on it, there were some people saying other dungeons dropped gems as well, but nothing concreate on if they were 100% royal with chance at grand. Some speculation that the drop rate was more indicative of what the gem acquisition rate should have been, but they didn't...

    There is a gem farm zone (Seer's Rest) that drops 3 Royals a boss kill with ~1% for one to be grand (maybe 1% for each). I did it for ~2 hours which netted 3 Grands and 30 to 70 Royals of each color (I didn't count at the end, but including what I already had, I was able to make 7ish grands of...

    Yeah, I switched to WW barb to finish the season. After reading some complaints about Warlock and Lilith online, I started preping a Barb fairly early. It was fast-ish to get up and running to the same level as Warlock or higher (even w/o the broken barb aspect for unlimited damage it had on...

    It's been reported that when the team asked the Lead Dev what the Warlock spell effects should look like, all he said was "Fuck my screen up fam, no cap." I played most of this season as the Jazz Hands Warlock build (Tyrant grip). I got so used to face tanking everything that when I switched to...

    Dungeon (Seer's Reach in Skovos (Xpac) ) to get the highest pure color gems before using the cube on them on any Torment (probably). It's 99% royal, 1% grand or so. Just tested it for about an hour and still dropping 3 gems per kills. Higher torments get more good crafting mats, but its always 3...

    You can now reroll any more you find in the cube until it gets +3 skill or move speed on each one (+skill seems to be recommended for the warlock builds at least). Keep all lego seals as well, as you can use 3 trash seals to reroll it (cube) and hopefully get +1 charm slot on it instead. Also...

    I think I have rerolled every war plan I have done three times; it's always "well that one looks good but what if the next one has 3 helltides in a row."

    If it makes you feel any better, it's only the "equipment" one, the others, like cube mats or charms/seals can not be "upgraded."

    While I was looking for the best way to get a mythic seal I read someone complaining about the difficulty of Mephisto while using a Warlock that could do rift 111 and still wasn't getting close. He said he tried 4 other classes and only a WW barb was able to do it. As for mythics, it seems a...

    While yeah, there are body part brokers that sell to some places you might find distasteful, you can donate your corpse to specific schools (or research programs, if they will take you) if you don't want to be sold to the military or chopped up and made into "art." I'm sure, if a person is...

    Pray to RNGusus more? Some are just stupid rare. Wiki says it's defensive, so you could try buying "defensive aspect" boxes from the follower vendor, if you have that unlocked. Otherwise, it can only be on helm/chest/pants/neck/shield, so can pick those boxes from the tree or gambling Oblos...

    Is there some trick to get 4 star legos? Looking at the leaderboard, the top people have a ton of 4 star shit. Not only have they had it drop, somehow, it was actually useful and not 90% trash?

    Anyone not aware, you can target Uniques with the Cube by upgrading the same type normal (white) item. If your class only has 1 or 2 uniques for that item slot (like 1h sword, dagger, 2h mace, etc.) it's fairly easy to get it early. You can also downgrade any item by removing affixes, so a rare...

    What did SK have (that overlapped with Necro or was part of "necro" identity) that was actually useful in EQ? EQ SK pets died all the fucking time, mostly sucked, and could be annoying when pulling. MnM SK pets seemed better (at least at low level) but they will probably be difficult to balance...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    I don't; WOTC/Hasbro having any direct involvement would make everything worse. They have shown absolutely no in-house talent in the video game industry. The game they are developing looks like utter shit and that's the team that would have gotten any DLC work. So, I have no trust that...

    I doubt anyone at Larian anticipated BG3 doing anything close to as well as it did when they negotiated the right to the IP. Sven, the CEO of Larian, wanted to make BG3 and seemingly went through a lot to get the rights to it. He talks like a genuine fan of many of the classic RPGs, with him...

    If it's just a scratch in the clear coat then yeah, a coat or three of wax/polish, or a single coat of ceramic should make it go away (probably). For a daily driver, they generally say wax lasts 3 to 6 months, polish lasts up to a year, and ceramic lasts 2 to 6 years. Wax and polish are "easy"...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    After thinking about for a while: just like a woman dressing like a hoo-ahh on the NY subway, that lambo driver was kinda asking for it. Who gets within 100 yards of a store's door while they are in their sports/classic car? Enter the lot using the farthest exit, park in the no-door-ding...

    Shallow Shoals can be interesting to navigate. I only explored the zone when I was somewhere between level 8 to 12 so don't know levels. There are Giants in the middle-east of the zone (you will see a big plateau type pillar of land and water feature from far off) and orcs in north. If someone...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Maybe. Being an actual dash cam (reflection of dash is what is causing the haze) helps lend credence to the accident. The blind spot on a lifted vehicle and a short woman driving is going to be massive. Being that it's a parking lot, the chances of being distracted by looking for a parking spot...

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    I never said there was no difference, I said nothing cooked on a gas grill tastes better than cooking it on a stovetop. QuickEdit: I should probably qualify that with "when using retail equipment," as I'm sure the pros have some special high dollar grills they use.

    I've done reverse sear, butter baste sear, and sear into oven finish but usually just do the latter for ease. All of which produced a better maillard reaction crust than any steak I have ever grilled, which lend more flavor than the drippings getting burnt back onto the steak from an open flame...

    I generally don't cook asian food, but I use 10" or 12" cast iron skillets to cook hamburgers, sausage, or steaks. Smoking up the house with steak smell is half the fun and the meat to cheese to vegetable to bun ratio of a smash burger type is far superior to some thick hand pressed patty...
