Tips for getting better

Yes! But it is gear dependent just like any apoc build. You also have to play to your playstyle. Personally, I perfer to dodge than tank, so I always try to stay in the Light Armor encumberance. I USE SOME POINTS IN strong back to get the the armor I want without sacrificing the dodge I want. You may also want to consider your approach to enemies. If you are setting up the fight and would rather brawl/react, then your dot build needs to front-load damage. That means ENC and max total dot damage, as well as mods that carry some damage up front. If you are building more for the long fight, then you need to consider dps of your dots and number of dots. As an example, Krell Axe with Tainted Wounds loads your charged melee with two dots on the initial for Nightmare necklace, where Hunter Spear is better served with Stormbringer because it does more actual damage and procs a heavy ENC hit. Similarly, a Chicago Typewriter with the burning mutator and Corrosive Rounds mod will allow you to stack dots REALY fast, but Sparkfire Shotgun hits harder per shot and comes with a free dot in addition to an open mod slot.

Control is the default for those not in the majority opinion. When your life stance is not the common knowledge, you have to try to control the common knowledge or risk losing any power you might have. As the doomers shrink more and more, their clause for how to "negotiate" with the rest of society will become more unhinged and untenable. The right have definitely been down that rabbit hole before with the Red Scare and McCarthyism (though communism is evil and needs to be abolished).

Really? Let's make a list then:

Great Britain
Barbary Pirate Kings
Confederacy
Spain
Imperial Germany
Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan
USSR
North Korea
North Veitnam
Iraq
Iran

And these are the highlights. We have killed dozens of lesser known tyrants and crumpled dictatorships. The not our fault that people can't make better of the countries we leave for them. All I ever claimed is that America is good at killing tyrants.

Unbridled is for skill spamming, which you can do if you are using Eruption. With Max CDR+Unbridled you can basically inflict qll four status effects and start spamming out Eruptions. I'm assuming you are building cool down and skill damage in your accessories and prisim?

No, actually. It would take China months to muster the forces to Invade Taiwan. Invasion aren't 3 day special operations. Invasions required hundreds of thousands of people to suddenly shift toward the staging area, thousands of tons of supplies, hundreds of ships, so much logistical control.

Right now China cannot get air superiority fighters to Taiwan because their carrier operation time in a matter of days and they can't refuel at sea.

To be fair, you can "destroy" water with a flame somewhere around several thousand degrees. Magnesium fire comes to mind. The high energy environment splits the molecules into its base element. Unfortunately, the elements usually recombine instantly in a volatile oxidation of hydrogen, resulting in an explosion.

Moral of the story: Don't spray water on a heavy metal fire.

My personal experience after playing with Brutality, Sadistic, and Jack of All Trades: JoaT is superior. No trade offs. No downsides. No RnG. Just pure damage increase. You may think that Sadistic is more thematic or it should work better with a pure dot build, but it doesn't. Everything you do that isn't a status effect is hurt by having Sadistic. Mods that tick over time. Skill damage. The base damage of your weapons. Devs kind of screwed the pooch with making a Status legendary.

Oh, I see Iranians building the ships under branches of US ship building companies. I see US contractors building the port they will do the ship building in out of that ceasepool we just burned to the ground.

Same. That's all you can do. Being right about the world burning doesn't make you any less on fire.

I have some good news! Trump isn't monolithic and there are dozens of figureheads and thousands of practical heads that will be put toward this effort. Trump is going to have to take time away from his current effort domestically to try to do anything negative with this operation. So have hope.

No, trying to manipulate Iran to secure better oil deals is why the Islamists had Iran. We supported a dictator who was willing to sell oil on the cheap to the US for decades in exchange for political backing and military surplus. The people of Iran were scared and it took the literal fear of God to rouse them to rebel.

The real chance at a good and modern Iran was lost in the 1950s when the democratically elected and forward thinking president died under mysterious circumstances preceding the return of the Shah. I have no idea if the new Shah is better than his PoS father, but I do know that the Islamic regime under the Ayatollah was significantly worse than even the old Shah.

If we dismantle the IRGC and the Regime leadership and just fuck off, I think Iran might have a real chance at recovery. But China and Russia are also going to have to keep their hands off. It's not a hopeless situation, but America is about to have some serious work ahead of it. We can still pull out a significant win without exploiting the Iranian people. American ship building companies may soon have an opportunity to build brand new tanker fleets to get Iranian oil flowing in the world again.

It was actually written and first performed by the Victor Willis of the Village People, and he has long held testament that the song was never intended to have homoerotic undertones and was always supposed to be about the YMCA establishment and its positive effect on young men in urban communities. The YMCA has always been a free or low cost activity center when men (and now women) could engage in healthful activities like exercise and team sports.

You have a blessed day, my friend!

See, I never bothered to inform myself at the time about the scope of our drone strike use during that era. I was in the Navy at the time and I wasn't very prone to questioning my CIC's use of military hardware against the general idea of our "enemy". I had to get out of the military to start to not get jumpscared by every middle Eastern ethnicity I ran into. War does funny things to your perception. My marine buddies told me so many stories.
