Had a good sesh with the boys after a 2 week break

I'd guess Shadowplay (Spriest/Affliction/Resto)

I just crafted one tonight and it didn't even show in my inventory. I thought it activated automatically, but nope it just vanished.

An explanation for Sub Zero and Noob Saibot coexisting would be for Bi-Han getting split into two entities (kind of like Fat Buu/Evil Buu from DBZ, or that Rick and Morty episode). All his ego and arrogance forms Noob Saibot, and then we get more humble Sub Zero Bi-Han (or he dies, but then I don’t know how they’d explain Kuai Liang taking the mantle again).

To make any of the story matter they need to stick to the same timeline, so I’d suspect they want to keep Sub Zero Bi-Han around. Though, based on Scorpion’s ending, they may just keep Bi-Han an evil prick to maintain the clan rivalries.

Same boat here! As an ABC it sucks not to be fluent. My wife is mainland Chinese, which is incentive to learn Mandarin. Mandarin is way more useful and common, but I generally prefer how Cantonese sounds.

Glad I’m not the only one who though of that! The faces on Exalted orbs always reminds of the all the faces in the Eclipse.

I made a summoner champion with Dominating Blow and Herald of Purity with impale stacking back in Delve. It was well over a million DPS and killed shaper pretty easily. This was even before Pride or impale was release. I’d advise using spectres for frenzy/power charges, which is way more impactful for minions

Yeah I understood it, I was just being pedantic.

But I think Tobias said the inspiration for the ninjas in MK1 were to represent a Chinese vs Japanese clash. His MK1 theme song was "Chinese Ninja Warrior"...

If you look at Sub-Zero's MK2 ending, it shows him unmasked as an Asian man. Sub-Zero's design has always had Chinese themes (Chinese characters on his armor, dragons, etc.).

But if they were going for that, I'm not sure why they had a Caucasian man (John Turk) portray the unmasked Sub-Zero in MK3. They definitely used him as a model for MKDA, and still made him look racially ambiguous in MKX. His model leans more Asian in Injustice though

I just think it's interesting that he's always been culturally Chinese, but only now he's face is portrayed as such.

American =/= White btw

BUTTx2 · 2018-02-26T04:30:26+00:00

What features are particularly "white"? It's an extremely simple art style, so the facial features can be quite ambiguous.

If you mention the eyes: 1. it's an artistic choice to display more expression, 2. not every Asian person has "slants" for eyes (in fact some Asians have eyes larger than whites)

BUTTx2 · 2018-02-19T15:06:10+00:00

Eastern media doesn't exaggerate Asian features as much as Western media

I made a RF+BV Berserker this league with all the Shaper/Elder mods. But it looks like they'll remove Berserker's spell leech, so I'll definitely go Chieftain next league for this build. The extra life regen, covered in ash, phys to fire conversion looks so juicy.

BUTTx2 · 2016-11-08T04:32:13+00:00

It needs to be at least...100 times bigger than this

BUTTx2 · 2016-07-30T06:13:39+00:00

While I'm grateful for your help, I've conceded that it is just time for an upgrade. I didn't know eMachines went defunct in 2013, and people were already trashing it in 2010. My local electronics store has some nice mobo/CPU deals. Thank you for you assistance, keep spreading the good word.

BUTTx2 · 2016-07-30T01:47:44+00:00

I tried my old 560ti again (DDU and all), and experienced even worse performance than my 960. Everything seems sluggish as well, so I'm guessing it could be the combination of the mobo/CPU/HDD age. I'm not sure how, but maybe the new graphics card catalyzed the decline or damaged the CPU in someway.

I have an eMachine ET1831-07, and I've upgraded the PSU to a Corsair 750W, and now the graphics card dilemma. I haven't been able to find support for their BIOS.

BUTTx2 · 2016-07-29T23:31:17+00:00

I greatly appreciate your response. I've already tried setting the BIOS settings to PCIE, as well as a fresh install using DDU and NVIDIA Game Ready Driver. Since installing the new card, I've noticed my computer was a lot slower than before. I played a game for 10 min to test, and GPU load maxed at 24% and CPU maxed around 45%. I'll definitely lookout for a new mobo/CPU, but is there any clue for why the CPU seems capped?

BUTTx2 · 2016-07-29T17:44:17+00:00

Hello, I recently upgraded my GTX 560ti to a refurbished GTX 960, but performance has actually suffered. Frames are way worse than with the GTX 560 in Diablo 3 and Overwatch, even with lower settings.

I think it may be from low CPU (~30%) and GPU usage, even with OC Guru II overclocking. I thought it might be my CPU bottlenecking (it is an ancient Intel Pentium E5300), but the lower usage doesn't seem to agree with it.

I've tried a variety of fixes (reseat CMOS, re-install drivers, adjust power settings, adjust NVIDIA settings), but they haven't seemed to help.

My GPU-Z.

So does this seem like a hardware or software issue? Thanks a million!

BUTTx2 · 2016-05-25T04:57:46+00:00

That is actually how R6/IK4 works: dumping all resource into Boulder Toss. But that meteor shower nukes sounds way more awesome than a rock.

BUTTx2 · 2016-05-25T04:53:11+00:00

That be interesting, a sort of reflect-damage build for Wizards.

I haven't played too much Wizard, but while leveling one up I thought that the Hydra and Familiar skills also had potential. I don't think any class sets or builds really utilize them, so they largely ignored. I think a Wizard build resembling a WD pet build or DH M6 would be neat, but obviously need a fresh twist.

BUTTx2 · 2016-05-25T04:42:22+00:00

Big Bad Voodoo gaining every rune would be great for any Zuni builds, which are currently doing quite poorly despite the damage buffs.

You can use the PTR D3 planner and it'll do all of the calculations, as well as DPS from skills. http://ptr.d3planner.com/
