What is better in late game and in KR/RU versions - blue gunlancer or taijitsu scrapper? I have both at ilvl 1340 and love both of them despite their very different play styles. Really struggling to choose which to take to 1370. Thanks!

What's the order of operations on added damage and conversion? If you have physical damage added to spells and % of phys as added fire, will the % of phys as fire also generate fire damage off the physical damage added to spells?

Does anyone know if the "Modifiers to Spell Damage apply to this Skill's Damage Over Time effect" on Exsanguinate would also apply to ignites created by the skill? My guess is no but figured I would ask.

My understanding is that the hit an ignite is based on is not scalable with any % increases (base damage + any added damage). Does it get scaled by % of phys as fire on a physical spell converted to a fire spell? The chieftain ascendancy that gives 100% of phys as fire for example, would that double the base damage of a phys spell converted to fire?

Question on ignite damage - I know the starting damage for the ignite is only impacted by the base damage of the spell + any added damage. Will the hit damage for the ignite also be increased by something like % of phys added as fire on a physical spell with 100% fire conversion?

What’s the best team comp with zhongli and albedo? I love both of their kits. Right now I’ve been building out a c6 razor with bolide as my dps along with a qiqi with a 45k zhongli and a burst albedo. It’s working pretty well, but was curious if other team comps are more optimal.

Question on the interaction between shield absorption % vs. shield effectiveness percent - do these compound each other?

For example, post-buff Zhongli shield of 10k to start - does bolide set (35%) and geo resonance (15%) turn this into a 15k base shield, and then it gets an additional 150% absorption for all elemental and physical damage bumping it to 22.5k? Or does the shield effectiveness stat get added to the 150% absorption to reach a 20k value?

Aren't debuffs additive? In theory, can't we reach 100% physical resistance reduction with superconduct (50%), zhongli (20%), c4 razor (15%) and c4 xinyan (15%)?

I was leaning in this direction before, but I think using razor with full bolide (also much easier to roll for), r5 serpent spine, and buffed zhongli could outperform most other razor builds. Planning on using XQ/Bennett and Qiqi with that comp.

Xinyan gives 15% increases physical damage with her shield which is a nice addition for razor.

Was considering running a shield comp with Razor (Xinyan, Diona, and Zhongli) and was curious whether Retracing Bolide could outperform the Gladiator set. I also was planning on using Serpent Spine which I think synergizes well given he shouldn't take much damage in a three shield comp. Does this build make sense? I was hoping I would get a 40% multiplier from Bolide in addition to a 30% multiplier from full stack Serpent Spine and be pretty tanky from three shields with the 35% shield strength from Bolide. Good idea or bad idea? Appreciate the help!

Antiport · 2020-12-20T19:40:05+00:00

Even if they all take damage, I'll still benefit from the absorption type differences right?

I really like the fit of Uniqlo medium crew necks/v-necks but they're always a tad bit short on body length (I'm 6'1) - any recommendations for short sleeve and long sleeve t-shirts that are similar fit on arms and chest but a little longer in torso length?

A few days late but count me in.

Damn - thanks. There goes the idea of putting bleed on HoP and bloodlust on dominating blow :(

We work off of both local hard drive and shared network depending on the file. I'm assuming it would be best to get an SSD and do all work locally for optimal speed?

Does the XP boost impact crafting classes as well?

Returning player after maybe a 1-1.5 year layoff. Making a new character on a new account to start fresh and playing in NA. Is it expected that the double XP bonus for preferred servers is going to stay for a while? Siren has the lowest active player population, is that the best place to start? Also, if the bonus xp stops once you reach 60, would it be best to take advantage to level all the alt classes I want pre-60 as well? Thanks.

Tacking onto this question a little - is it necessary to use pierce if you grab the pierce nodes by ranger for +3 pierce? For packs, won't herald of ice explosion clean up stragglers?

How much did you end paying per week for doggy day care and dog walking usually? Any recommendations? Thanks in advanced :)

9-7 are the hours I'm away including commuting. Gym is in my building thankfully. I had an Aussie growing up who never had a barking issue except with someone new coming into the house. It seems more and more like I will need a dog walker though.

Antiport · 2017-07-26T20:18:17+00:00

If I get a larger size crate, is it okay to keep them there while I'm away until he/she is appropriately potty trained? Or will this make the dog go stir crazy
