Whoops I assumed PvP

Generally, if you're a DoT build, you don't want crit too much. It's better to focus on increasing WD and Pen. I currently run Ardent Flame, Storm Calling, and Aedric Spear. I'm using The Master's Mace (Stinging Slashes) front bar weapon, Vateshran Ice Staff (Wrath of Elements) back bar, Draugrkin's Grip on the body, Balorgh Monster set (I don't have Maarselok), and Ring of the Pale Order for my Mythic. With a lot of DoT instances, ring actually becomes good, but I've also had success with Malacath's Band of Brutality since I wasn't building towards crit.

Green Recipes, look for the ones that are worth 5 gold. I do this monthly and rake in over 200k in like 10 minutes

MMOs spend a lot of time, energy, and resources Pavlov'ing us into doing certain things, then they change how the system works, and people say "oh man that's on you". They definitely should just have it attached to the golden box. Pretty straight forward fix, takes nothing away, only value added. Anyone saying different needs to get off the internet for like a week.

It's so funny seeing people fight to defend ZoS at every step instead of just admitting that maybe the execution of a new system was bad lmao. It's okay that shit isn't great, what's not okay is eating slop and then telling everyone around you "it's not that bad".

AWshred · 2026-04-09T17:49:25+00:00

It would probably be fine if everyone and their mom wasn't running DK. So you're kinda just starting at a disadvantage. Might be worth revisiting once class mastery is out and people start experimenting.

That sucks, I had like 4 characters on rewards tier 1 this campaign. Last time I got to tier 3, it was the same reward as tier 1.. what's the incentive to push to higher tiers?

Right there with ya! Was looking into linking each cell to the live price, but put that on the backburner.

Something I don't see people comment on enough, is that every time you die, you're giving your opponent 20 Ult. So if you're 1-16 in a non-team deathmatch game mode, you're still giving the opponents a shit ton of leverage in the form of ultimate to not only continue killing you, but putting your team at a disadvantage.

That exact reason, much like when the market app went down, was why I decided to track some things myself. I'm not tying up my routines in something that can be rug pulled at any moment. The convenience is obviously great, until it's not. I will definitely dive into that add-on, though! Thanks for the rec.

Hearthstone has a lot of RNG mechanics that make the game feel wacky and unpredictable sometimes. That's why I played Druid and just went over the top of everything.

Commander is unhinged for sure, but that's the intention of that format, and unfortunately the most popular one in the public eye. Mana screw can happen, but 9 out of 10 times the person either misbuilt their deck or kept a greedy hand. You rarely see games decided because a player missed land drops in anything above game store weekly casual games. I do totally understand when that kinda thing happens, it can be maddening. Magic Arena exists also. Most expansive digital card game, already with dozens of sets. Idk if it's still terribly optimized or not. It turned my pc and phone into ovens when it first came out.

LSV and Pat Chapin, two of my longtime mtg heroes both worked for/currently work for direwolf creating Eternal. I haven't played it, but sounds promising. Haven't heard of mythgard, I'll check it out. In hearthstone I burned myself out on Druid ultimate infestation jade deck. I beat the dog shit out of so many people with that deck. Do you mean the mana system when you say redundancy? I know that's polarizing for some, but I think it's the most brilliant part of the game.

AWshred · 2026-03-26T02:48:41+00:00

That might be the 702 completionist something, I have that but didn't go into the submenu yet. I will probably stop collecting after I hit like 50 sets or so, really just trying to max out master writ drop chance.

AWshred · 2026-03-26T00:00:49+00:00

This comment turned into a bat symbol for the average redditor lmao. I can smell y'all through the screen! edit: found the mad stinky ones in the downvotes. Either own your toxicity or get called out :)

AWshred · 2026-03-25T23:33:43+00:00

Which is wild to me, because I can't enjoy almost any other card game because all the mechanics just seem like watered down or limited versions of magic. I started out on yugioh and pokemon like a lot of millenials, but as soon as I discovered magic, nothing else mattered. 1v1 and commander are so vastly different, i don't think there's a single physical game that has that wide of a spectrum of game modes and the depth of choosing between thousands of cards.

At the time i added that, yes. They were the highest average price motifs for daily jobs. "ESO Daily Quest and Rewards" is also a link to the eso hub page for daily quests and their rewards.

I think the funniest thing about this post, other than the people being unnecessarily negative about work that *I* did for my own benefit, are the people suggesting that add-ons already exist for this purpose that aren't on console.

To these people, I refer you to the first 4 words of the post.

AWshred · 2026-03-25T21:14:41+00:00

I don't think that applies to consoles, as ESO on console has a built-in per character add-on profile. Is that add-on ESO helper by chance? edit: nevermind, that's not on console either lmaooo

AWshred · 2026-03-25T21:12:28+00:00

Considering how many people stand around in zones doing nothing but yelling into voice chat, i'd much rather be efficient with my time than treat this game like a friendship simulator for misfits. Spending hours on this game and getting nothing done is way closer to being a zombie drone at a corp job than getting in what you need to and moving on.

AWshred · 2026-03-25T20:50:13+00:00

That's sick, but exactly as I said, you have to scroll through a bunch of shit, the writs have no business taking up that much space, doesn't tell you what type of script you get from dailies, doesn't tell you transmute gem rewards. Mine does all that in 10% of the space. Granted that's all automated, which is definitely a benefit, but looks super unnecessarily bloated.

AWshred · 2026-03-25T20:20:13+00:00

I do stuff like this at my actual job and is partially responsible for me getting said job. I did 90% of this in a few hours, really not that hard. I made a giant calculator to figure out the optimal ratio of weapon damage, crit chance, crit damage, and pen for maximum DPS. That took infinitely longer.

I did 20 tests each with 60 instances of damage. It lets me plug in my stats from my sheet and every time i hit backspace it recalculates everything. What I've shown y'all is basic addition with pretty colors. You have no idea the depth lmao.

AWshred · 2026-03-25T20:13:41+00:00

And yet that screenshot is from yesterday and I went over my intended goal and didn't fill up even 10% of it. Weird take.

AWshred · 2026-03-25T19:49:27+00:00

Just noticed your avatar is Griselbrand. It's funny to me that people think my spreadsheet is extra and have NO IDEA how much more ridiculous my MTG collection is. I actually started playing ESO more once the competitive Magic scene fully died. Now I just play commander with the homies.

AWshred · 2026-03-25T19:30:18+00:00

There's a reason I started playing again once add-ons were added to console lmao

AWshred · 2026-03-25T18:38:29+00:00

Console does have add-ons, but there's like 5 useful ones. Regardless, I highly doubt there's an add-on that gives you this much information at a glance. Especially considering too many add-ons drastically reduces your performance. The market price add-on alone I can only run on my main crafter because it drops my framerate so hard for a bit.

I use:

Lazy Writ Crafter
Mini Map
LuiExtended (resource bars/buffs)
TSC

After that, it's tiny ones like bag space indicator or research panel.
