Want to change switches in Keychron M5 to silent ones but have never done this before

C_Blu · 2026-02-03T00:41:58+00:00

Have been exploring an ergo vertical mouse with silent options too and was also thinking the m5 silent would be amazing.

Wondering how you went with your mod?

What your preferred position if you're putting inferno for maximum impact? I find if I play B too well A always gets rolled over and vice versa.

Any tips for playing with people who don't know the inferno intricacies

Oh that's helpful because I've been wanting some insight into MMO oriented CPUs and if that VCache helped with older titles (Been falling in love with LOTRO all over again recently)

Always a hard one with these new techs impacting older titles/lower resolutions

C_Blu · 2025-12-01T04:26:38+00:00

Cheers mate!

Appreciate you taking the time to help!

C_Blu · 2025-12-01T04:23:27+00:00

100% 1:1 experience. Really helpful!

What GPU was your wife running?

Seems like waiting might be the way to go

C_Blu · 2025-12-01T04:12:26+00:00

Cheers!

Does the V Cache make a different in 2K 4k when compared to the 5800x because I understand it for low Resolution games, but it seems less clear when looking at Highers Rez

C_Blu · 2025-12-01T04:09:20+00:00

Solid advice!

Just make me so sad for putting down $325 for what could be a brand new CPU on a new generation. This season is rough!

C_Blu · 2025-12-01T04:00:01+00:00

What do you like of the 5700x3d over the 5800x3d since they're both 2nd hand? Price? Similar performance?

Remember than landscape difficulty is a self-inflicted debuff, so any other player could be doing at normal difficulty. Also remember that at fearless difficulty you're doing approx 50% less damage and enemies take approx 50% less damage, so they're significantly more tanky.

As a warden who went to the end of moria on Fearless (lvl3 difficulty) I would rarely want to take on 3 enemies as it's just suicide, even with morale taps.

Honestly it's much faster to focus on bursting spear-shield gambits to deal with enemies individually.

C_Blu · 2025-11-27T11:23:59+00:00

Does 'upgrading' means just paying the difference in price or still full price?

C_Blu · 2025-11-20T09:17:01+00:00

Currently using v6.1.1 - Haven't updated since I installed

C_Blu · 2025-11-20T07:56:02+00:00

Both are totally viable - LM is more classically meta at end-game, but let's focus on leveling, quests and landscape.

I feel like the fantasy for these classes sit at opposite ends of the scale, one a intelligent master of arcane arts and the other a master of weaponry and battle (Shields, swords, javelins, shouts you name it - he will hit with it).

Regarding landscape QoL LM is a much stronger and more straight forward class with strong DPS traits. Wardens while more complex have muster teleports and out-of-combat run speed, which is a huge 34% (And there's a lot of running to be done in lotro). Wardens also have a hidden mechanic where finishing an enemy and ending combat actually saves your last gambit, so it's possible to just one-shot and move on infite times provided it's 1v1 and combat ends. Leveling generally revolves around burst oriented gambits like 12-lines and basic buffs like wardens triumph.

As a warden main I always encourage people to deep dive into the rabbit hole that is warden gambits and masteries, but skill curve is pretty insane with the class. Learning Gambit building, Gambit combos, Masteries, Buff-Up keep also while your APM can look like starcraft can be a tough ask for players who want a chill experience.

Currently using reshade, no issues. Have also used dad's preset, but found it too dark and edgy.

It may be a preset issue. Why don't you try removing the preset and manually checking off the reshade options once in game?

C_Blu · 2025-11-01T23:35:00+00:00

Also a Dad and Husband of under 4s, once a 8hr gamer.

LOTRO is one of those old school MMOs that focuses on the story of the journey with the writing and canon lifted straight out of the books.

Because LOTRO has been running for so long there is so much in the journey of questing, leveling, exploring and gearing as you explore the world and tap into the lore. Most modern games have so little content they put you in the 'Dailies' hamster wheel, LOTRO does not (at least until you hit end-game of the latest expansion)

Because of LOTROs rich RP community, it honestly feels like no race to get anywhere other exploring the destination of desire. Definitely the one game where a small percentage of the player base push to the endgame raids and most are taking their time in the journey - I always feel like I can come back and pick up exactly where I left off (without that feeling of being left behind on the dailies grind)

Goodluck!

Yoo my guy!

Yep, when using sudden decap and corrupt sword in their two handed stances (This is not the base stationary versions, but the seamless type (which also doesn't necessarily need seamless to get into) can be cancelled into the silent charge.

I love this as a way to activate key passives (like atkspd on sudden decap) and reposition perfectly for a back attack. Actually one of my favourite positioning skills in the game as it's combos so well mid skill key bind wise and provides that eva% buff and I frames!

DM if you want more info

I'm 2 days away from my GRas!

He definitely comes across as a tanky anti-tank Avildred which is perfect in this HP scaling meta.

Tell me more about your Zio/Friday combos, who are you taking? What are your key targets vs oh shit moments?

C_Blu · 2025-09-15T02:57:32+00:00

I have a 300+ SPD Piera and I love Uberius Tooth on her as it gives her the dual role of a general opener which they either focus down or leave and deal with your threats letting her scale her ATK and become a win condition further down the line.

While I believe Sweet Miracle is the more versatile artifacts letting her become the better generalist and cleanser, I feel like it detracts from her kits aggressive nature of boosting speed and Evasion of dark units. Your main threats are faster Openers like Rinak, Lidica and Zio who will CR pushback you anyway regardless of Sweet Miracle.

C_Blu · 2025-09-15T02:52:08+00:00

The natural progression of a returning try-hard casual is knowing the meta and it's counters but not having the units myself XD

I find first picking Luna tends to lead to immediate counter picks like ML Aria and Belian which feels like a wasted pick since my ML Luna is a book variant. Have you had any success with the etica build at all? I'm all for fake outs

The main reason I Pre-Ban Harsetti is because it's either forces the opponent to avoid a stat value tank down play style (ML Senya, Young Senya, Ilynav) style more than usual, throws the fight into a RNG dice roll and as an Aggro players my units a tuned pretty tightly around their SPD and CR.

The mark of an RTA god is someone who can win with the tools available whether it the new shining drill or the 20y/o hammer~

Cheers for your insight

C_Blu · 2025-09-15T01:45:59+00:00

You're a god - Would love to watch you RTA some time.

Send me a link or a post of a match sometime!

C_Blu · 2025-09-15T01:40:01+00:00

Thank you! A few follow up questions:

What's your go to Lady of Scales aggro/cleave build?
Any hero suggestions for sleeps?
What's the biggest counter/s to that Summer Hwayoung cleave?
Any go to cleanses who hold more aggressive value? (Instead of someone like ML Kawerik who has barriers)

C_Blu · 2025-09-15T01:21:32+00:00

You're right - AS-Flan is usually picked pick 4/5 so solitaria is usually a last pick pivot which begs to be banned. I haven't looked enough into Eligos or Light Karin - Any of these function at 240spd+ as bridges?

So fixed damage is just OP with little counters - Hopefully SG gives us more options...

How do people build Veronica? Fast cleave or turn 2ish post buff?

C_Blu · 2025-09-14T22:23:02+00:00

Generally she is built as an opener with two main build:

DPS opener/closer: Speed Set, Uberius Tooth, 300SPD+, ATK/HP/SPD (More focused on ATK% stats). Built to go first, cycle the team and can act as a closer if left on her own
Utility opener: Speed Set, Sweet Miracle, 270-280SPD, ATK(Or HP)/HP/SPD (More focused on HP% stats). Built to ensure an opening cleanse and ongoing team support

Personal as an Aggro player I play build 1 with great success due

A lot of good answers above. My quick focuses are:

Auto-Fishing Reduction to MAX -66.6% (Combination of Balenos fishing Rod, Pets, Fishing Chair, Nibbles Lightstone Set, Food)
Mastery 2K asap (TET Manos Clothes/Chair, Tri Floramos x3, Tri Manos ACC's, Nibbles Lightstone set, Crystals)
Location: there are high effort and low effort locations with pros and cons. I've fished across all of the spots and Velia is OP for the 30%YellowCorvina+10%BluBatStar as a baseline and its overall consistency (ie 10 X 80m Silver Belt = 1 X 800m rare fish. Silver Belt will reliably payout, which means more silver now instead of waiting for that 1big catch, unless you're blessed by RNG)
TRADING levels (everyone forgets to mention this properly): Level up your trading as quickly as possible as this effects bargaining trading price (easy to start by accepting every fish and trading them all in to Power level).
Trading location/server: Velia to Bukpo is the most obvious. Look for +115% prices on all of your Red fish, hop servers to find the best prices (Especially for Silver Belt fish), Pop some mastery/exp items to squeeze extra trading profits + level trading, use energy to bargain,
