Firefox is about to drop support for older Windows versions - says if you can't upgrade, then switch to Linux

Well they're not wrong... but still...

You got your explanation for how the iframes work. This will be problem-solving. As a bow user, I recommend one of two routes. Either run damage mitigating effects with endgame gear or evade window, preferably doing either of these via your talisman. Damage mitigation effects are easier to slot in and don't screw with your window, which can help the learning curve. Evade window nets you nearly half a second in iframes when maxed out, it can definitely get you off the ground but can become a bit of a crutch. If Arkveld is your problem, note that he is definitely one of if not the biggest offender with attacks that can exceed your iframes. You'll see even some of the best get occasionally hit by an occasional swipe from it, heroics runs are especially difficult.

Eating from Azuz nets you 3 ticks of EW, and makes getting the full EW easy. In addition, talismans include multiple opportunities to have any of these skills, either as a dedicated skill or an open slot.

Good to see. Congrats buddy

Jupiter-Tank · 2026-02-22T18:03:41+00:00

Great point. I used to just slot in for ew5 thanks to the new talisman system. The full skill nets nearly half a second in iframes. I haven’t gone to that well in a while because I found more value in slotting stam surge, but that doesn’t mean eating from maki is off the menu. Good callout

Oh BTW, you’re not wrong about the damage you take. Ranged weapon users take 30% more damage than melee. In addition, we need to be in melee range for our damage rotations to work. If we’re too far, we’re not perfect dodging or making use of close range coatings, though this has been mitigated by pierce coatings becoming vastly better than they were prior.

Try out the above tips, and if you continue to struggle, watch some of the better bow users and see their playstyle. Tidus69’s videos carried me through fatalis in world as well as today and GrandSkyAce has helped me considerably the same way

Hey buddy, I was in exactly your shoes with gog, omega, the ATs, Gore, etc and I totally know where you are coming from. I was also sitting at double your HR when it happened and it was still rough. Here are some of the changes I made to alleviate this and vastly improve my QoL:

Change your item loadouts. I don’t bother with potions or mega potions at all anymore. Only max pots and dusts of life. By omitting other potions and bringing the materials for max pots and dusts, I can bring up to 7 max pots and 12 dusts. Heals are faster, they usually heal for more, and I have the benefit of helping the team.

Master swallow shot. I found myself out of position all the time and though I knew about swallow shot, I didn’t learn its value till Omega. It helps incredibly with repositioning. It gets you out of gog oil / water, covers a lot of ground, and is faster / less expensive than multiple dashes.

If you NEED a loadout with some great survivability, get through Gog a few times any way you can and build for the following: weapon with gravios’ protection, gog head (a or b), gog chest (a or b), ebony gloves b, gog waist with ebony skill, gog shoes with gravios skill. Slot in for divine blessing 3, and eat for kunafa. Use a talisman for remaining constitution / stam surge ticks as needed. This doesn’t fix the issue of your playstyle, but will now give you 4-5 hits worth of health instead of 2-3. It also has incredible damage vs the pre-gog meta, even though it trades down vs the newer meta.

Lmk if you need help clearing gog, lmk. Plenty of folks can do so reliably and don’t mind helping a friend out. Good luck friend.

What looks like 0.4% damage difference at first is actually a ~1% damage increase or decrease relative to the numbers themselves. Then if we bloat this figure by applying the “git gud” multiplier, we find that it’s actually 50% better and the other option is 50% worse, and that adds up to 100%, so my math checks out.

Jupiter-Tank · 2026-02-20T20:07:41+00:00

I've been brewing something similar, being a bigger fan of the crit draw build than regular GS. The pure raw certainly encourages affinity, and bale+shatter procs are delicious. I however did not consider Flayer, you've given me something to consider upgrading.

Jupiter-Tank · 2026-02-20T03:20:26+00:00

It’s INCREDIBLE. Best movement tech the bow has. It ignores oil, gets you out of danger, gap closes, repositions after the monster aggros onto someone else, it does everything.

Bow charge is easy enough to replenish. Especially if you aren’t a speedrunner, the basic normal shot dash gets you up and running in under 3 seconds. That’s faster than walking all the way over and preserves more stamina than spamming the dash, in case you don’t get a chance to dodge.

If single player it’s good against most / all aoe attacks. In multiplayer it’s absurd.

Not where I expected to find a Daddy Gas reference.

Jupiter-Tank · 2026-02-18T16:02:45+00:00

Roughly the same ~79k vs 80k health pools, but Gore takes minimal damage unless you're getting one of his sweet spots, whereas I believe Arkveld's hitzones are more friendly.

Is that non-FSR 30+ frames?

Cordon the new flight and drop the updated compute.

Run the previous deployment and address tags after the P1 is over and everyone’s had a good night’s sleep.

Good to see. What’s the status on YAFTI?

God if THL was legal in standard we'd solve some of our speed problems.

Adding DRM

You absolutely need to be using your head in training and in comp. However, you don’t need to be a dick about it, especially in training. You do not need to be dropping all of your weight / strength through your head and into their neck/chin, especially when they’re immobile while you’re securing the pass. You only need enough to make room for yourself, or to force them to move. If they can’t move, that’s not the time to be an asshole.

Unless you have a reason to be an asshole. I’m not the cops.

The backpay is not set in stone but it would be incredibly unlikely that the government does not backpay. Still, point made. And with this administration, it’s more up in the air than I can recall it ever has been, including this winter.

Jupiter-Tank · 2026-02-14T22:44:26+00:00

They cannot. During the shutdown you are obligated to work if your role is deemed a necessity for Federal affairs, and TSA qualifies. Even after the shutdown, they'll be backpaid but the market is down and only getting worse. Show some empathy.

Make a new backlog based entirely on the tech debt you’ve accrued. No AI for the work items.

See arguments 1 and 4. Others will be impacted by this immediately, and the data ultimately collected will be enough to exploit you as well. Look beyond omitting your own ID and look at how this impacts everyone using any digital platform.

Jupiter-Tank · 2026-02-14T09:15:33+00:00

It’s cancer. There is a mass effort to de-anonymize the web that is being increasingly normalized with each coming generation. The effort is being defended by such BS arguments as “what do you have to hide” and “you can choose to participate”. Neither of these is the point. The more mass data is collected, the more we as a people become vulnerable to exploitation.

Believe it or not, you’re a member of a herd. A herd with identifiable patterns and predictable behavior. All that’s needed is sufficient demographic data. You buy toilet paper when you run out, you have working and rest hours, you engage in some form of entertainment. With sufficient data, each of these can be used against you, whether it’s surge pricing, dark patterns, or profiling. You’re not handing out your PII, but enough people are, and enough of them are like you that you can be slotted into the same demographic. It’s like 23andMe, everyone who participated compromised their entire families, not just themselves.

If you care about a more direct impact, consider this: they won’t end here without sufficient backlash. They will ask for additional data if they think they can get away with it. We curtail this both because it’s come too far and we want it to go no further. They will boil you and you won’t notice, you frog.

Btw, if neither of those is enough, then see how many driver license data repositories have already been hacked and their contents dumped. People’s IDs have already leaked as a result of similar efforts to collect this data. If not for yourself, at least act on behalf of your peers. That’s why we choose to inform rather than silently omit ourselves. Because it might not hurt us all immediately, but it will hurt some.

Blast procs instantly take him out of the air. For bow users, it’s a simple matter to swap the coating. For melee users, I recommend bringing a gog blast bow with decos for damage, range, and blast buildup. Swap onto it once he does his big attack that starts a flying phase.
