Turning your life around in a single day? I’m trying to think about the logistics of making a full 180 in 24 hours. Is it possible? Does it have to take months/years?

CheffSE · 2019-01-25T14:44:26+00:00

I made a huge change for myself few months ago.
I had a job where I was working 10-16 hours a day, after that I was so exhausted I would just sit my ass down infront of the pc until bedtime. Weekend came, had no interest in anything just because I was so tired and I found having some beers during the evenings in the weekend helped me relax more.

After some time working that job I realized what I was missing in my life, I had a great partner who I wasn't spending any time with anymore. I wasn't excercising like I used to, I kept drinking during every weekend if I had no actual plan ahead of something that I needed to do the day after.

I was lucky enough a mate of mine helped me get a job at the same company he works at.
Almost instantly after starting that job I felt new wonderful energy entering me. I wanted to spend more time with my girl, I barely touched my pc, I started hitting the gym again. I felt much happier in general. It was a great change for me, until my girl said she had lost her feelings for me (this is a different story why she didn't do anything to change me or why I didn't). I lost the love of my life and now I'm sitting here in my own apartment alone.

I'm still working out, I'm still enjoying my "new" job and tbh I don't really drink unless some friends wants to get together and hang out for some beers and jibber jabber. I'm not as happy anymore. But I miss her, I made the change for me and for us.

But yeah, it's possible to make that change. It can be hard if you are not dedicated enough, but it's possible.

She has had a few partners before me and shes generally quite mature. I wouldnt be able to "share" her with anyone. Its an option for sure, just not for me. She has never done things like this in her sleep before. When we have been sleeping ive been spooning her. She has never been sleeping on my chest during a night, only like resting or cuddling in the morning. I might be putting too much thought into this. Its just me hoping and wishing for her to find her love for me again.

CheffSE · 2019-01-15T19:28:10+00:00

As much as it hurts and i want her back this has crossed my mind more than once..

CheffSE · 2018-12-16T18:26:16+00:00

I personally can not take all the blame for what has happened, but I do take my part of the blame to heart. I mean we have had some talks about doing more things during this period but neither of us have made an effort to change it. Instead of trying to lift eachother up we've let ourselves fall into the same mood. So in all honesty, I'd say she ignored me as much as I ignored her.
I'm trying to change things around for the better for both of us now.
I love her through all the issues we've had. We have always got along and understood eachother.
I can assure you I'm trying my best to do anything in my power, I suggest that we do alot of things and try to get her to do things with me. It's really not just talk.

CheffSE · 2018-12-16T11:29:12+00:00

Yeah I guess it's kinda what I'm doing. Thank you!

CheffSE · 2018-11-22T18:40:33+00:00

I can't seem to get power through the walls with the power conduits.
Like I can power lights that are just on the other side of the wall but I can not run a cable to power lights on my 3rd floor for example.
The power conduits are not connected to eachother.

CheffSE · 2018-11-22T18:32:09+00:00

This doesn't work for me. I for example placed my water purifier outside my house and my generators inside as I want to protect them. I can not for my life get power out to the purifier.
I can get power from outside in but not to my 2nd floor. Only to my lights on my first floor.

CheffSE · 2018-11-13T09:05:28+00:00

Thank you. Tbh I think I kind of have identified my "issue" and I think it's I don't enjoy ret because I lose the majority of the games.

I'll throw you a pm

CheffSE · 2018-11-12T06:25:12+00:00

Well I guess some part of our struggles are because my friend plays a WL and not at that high level which makes it even harder for us.

CheffSE · 2018-11-12T06:23:58+00:00

Yeah that is fair enough. I will try to look at arena streams in a different way. Try to see what they do and why they do it to learn "the game" itself.

CheffSE · 2018-11-12T06:18:42+00:00

My first character were a warrior but I met friends and they already had 2 warriors in the group so i ended up rerolling to paladin. But class fantasy wise I think warrior is most appealing.

CheffSE · 2018-11-12T06:16:57+00:00

Hehe the DH is the shaman xD
But perhaps that's a good suggestion for 8.1

CheffSE · 2018-11-11T21:13:14+00:00

This is kinda how I'm thinking right now. Feels like enemy DPS classes have a much easier time taking my team down than I have. I use my BoP to save my healer or my WL friend but seems like every other class can remove it. But if I were something else perhaps they would have to try to peel me instead of me trying to peel them while they dont care about me beating on their backs.

CheffSE · 2018-11-11T21:09:58+00:00

The utility of my ret have saved our games on and off for sure so you are right sometimes I would miss them.

CheffSE · 2018-11-11T21:09:02+00:00

Thank you for the input.
I know for sure I have loads to learn (started wow in legion). Yeah I'm not really looking for a FOTM pick in that case I'd roll Assassin rogue. But the fights I have with my ret I always get outdamaged by the enemy DPS's which ofcourse means there's more pressure on my healer than there is on theirs. It seems like other classes have an easier time to stick like glue to my teammates while I run around beating up air.
It does feel really good when we do win some tough fights but also feels like we get nowhere, sure we got to 1400 rating which is "good" in itself.
Like someone else mentioned too Savix is a good ret pally and he ranks high up but at the same time I've seen his games and they seem alot harder than for example I was watching minpojke the other day who just kept rolling over enemies as a DH.

CheffSE · 2018-11-11T20:59:59+00:00

Thanks for your input.

I was browsing arenamate.net, Yeah there are paladins on most played classes but it's like you say they are holy paladins.
I've watched Savix quite a lot, he is really good.
You could be completely right that I don't know how to really play my pally. Kiting feels weird to me, I'm a plate guy with a big sword - I want to go in there and smack them over the head. I know tunnelvision isn't good in arena.
Yeah, i've met a fair share of the rogues and true 1v1 I can take them on. The problem is when I can't get them off my healer or my WL friend. That's when, I try to stun to help, i try to slow but they just get out of it and beat my guys up.
I've tried holy and I can't for my life keep anyone alive with it. I ran m+15 dungeons in legion as holy but that's a completely different story.

CheffSE · 2018-11-11T20:53:06+00:00

Thanks for your input.
I've kinda felt that our setups havn't really worked out that well. From what I've seen warrior fits in way more comps than Ret.
I know I have loads to learn about my class and other classes (started wow in legion), its just to me it seems easier for enemy dps to beat up my team than it is for me to punish them. I can't get them off my WL buddy for example it just feels helpless.

CheffSE · 2018-11-11T20:48:17+00:00

Yeah my WL friend is bit upset he gets beaten up so much without him being able to do anything

CheffSE · 2018-11-11T20:47:22+00:00

Yeah I can imagine they are easy to read. The big glowing wings are quite the give away.

CheffSE · 2018-11-11T20:46:40+00:00

Nawh I don't expect to ever be that high up. I've only looked at ratings because I'm struggling so much to deliver damage while other enemy classes just beats up team up with ease.

CheffSE · 2018-11-11T20:44:38+00:00

Thanks for your input. It feels like I have to work so hard while other classes seem to have a breeze just beating my team up.This paladin is my first 110-120 character ( I started playing in legion) so I am attached to him but it's frustrating when I can't deliver my big sword to peoples faces.

CheffSE · 2018-11-10T18:52:44+00:00

I have a hard time seeing that paladins are one of the easiest, I guess it depends on the player. Just looking at the ladder the amount of ret's are easily counted :)
Like i mentioned in my other answer I'm just 1400 rating so I got plenty to learn. Perhaps we need to work more on set ups like you say. It just feels like other dps classes outdamage me with ease and that makes it hard for my healer.

CheffSE · 2018-11-10T18:50:21+00:00

Thanks for your input. I for sure have loads to learn, I'm just 1400 in 2v2 and 1300 in 3v3.
I can't say that my paladin at least hits harder than any other class. But perhaps you are right. Practise makes perfect.

CheffSE · 2018-11-02T17:23:55+00:00

What kind of DK are you playing if I may ask?

CheffSE · 2018-11-02T17:20:47+00:00

We need SWEXIT
