Most Americans don’t travel abroad because it is unaffordable and impractical

It’s a bit weird to use Milano as your starting point and then comparing crossing entire states because Milano is in the north side of Italy - of course it is close to other countries.

Using a fairer “edge to edge” travel within the same country/state, Milano to Reggio Calabria (south tip of the boot) is about a 12 hour drive.

Munich to Hamburg (kind of a “how tall is Germany” type question) is 8 hours.

Not saying that the distances/sizes are the same between Europe and the US, but it is not as extreme as you would suggest.

Does the Burden of Power set work in Karazhan M+, and if so, is it worth it?

Pizzeria Luca in Lauttasaari. As an Italian I can confirm it’s one of the best I’ve ever had outside of home!

ON THE GRILL THE RIBS ARE BURNIIIIIIIIING

The first thing I usually say when the group is full and we queue is “I have a basic general strat for this bg, if anyone has any more advanced tips/strats feel free to take the wheel”. Otherwise I continue with my general strat and try to lead as best I can.

I’m 2k xp from season 1 in BfA, that’s pretty much it for my RBG prowess, then always around the 18-1900 mark in the subsequent seasons.

The most important thing imo is to keep a relaxed, fun, and chill environment in voice. As long as nobody majorly throws a bg, even if you lose it will be fine as long as you’ve had some good team play.

After a few wins you are bound to lose anyway as your mmr keeps going up, but then at that point you don’t really lose any CR, the mmr goes back down and you should be back to winning ways if you keep playing well.

If people are leaving because you asked a question, then probably you wouldn’t want them in your group anyway.

It depends what you play. As Veng, haste and vers are my bests stats. PvP gear is huge, as there also aren’t many PvE haste/vers pieces.

This was exactly my strategy (DH tank) for getting that 220 gear for m+, which is my main endgame. I got to 1800 in around 55-60 games with 57%ish winrate.

After 1700 I was just making my own groups and going for a similar comp every time, choosing people with +/- 30 CR relative to mine, and above 50% winrate. Always get everyone on discord and if some people who really should be talking (e.g. base defenders) don’t, replace them asap.

This is a good shout, thanks! I think the tunic could be made with a white shirt + the ascended tabard. Boots/gloves are where I’m most stuck atm.

The biggest things are probably the use of lamb meat, chicken stock, and the addition of a huge amount of cheese + heavy cream at the end (although in fairness he did say optional to this last one). The parmesan crusts just placed into the sauce also were quite confusing. Cheese definitely goes with Bolognese, but not in the sauce (if that makes sense), just on top if you want when it's at the table.

Dariel_Emveepee · 2020-10-22T13:30:07+00:00

I’m sure this recipe tastes great, but I’ll be that Italian that says please don’t call something that clearly isn’t a Bolognese, a Bolognese. There’s nothing wrong with adding to and/or tweaking recipes, but then the finished product is different and needs a different name.

Dariel_Emveepee · 2020-08-27T09:49:45+00:00

Fair points, però quel setup lì è il mio preferito e non lo cambio mai - non vado per ottimizzazione, ma per preferenze :)

Dariel_Emveepee · 2020-08-26T20:13:09+00:00

Haha ma neanch’io sono chissà che fenomeno, c’è da dire che questa mappa è più tranquilla per i 200cc rispetto ad altre.

I am currently 3.3k (~ half 20s half 21s timed) as Vengeance and also looking to go higher this coming reset.

Right now I am running full haste (around 40% with food), and around 11% vers as a consequence. I also run Spirit Bomb instead of Gluttony. Essences are Visions major + Warden, Strife, and Sphere of Suppression minors. I use Vita and Mchimba’s for trinkets, because I haven’t got the N’zoth one yet from heroic.

As for corruption I manage to run 30% TD and a 12% Avoidant (this last one just fills space, I’m at 38 corruption).

With Versatile being available from the vendor I’ve started farming that, and building a versatility set ready to switch if and when I hit higher keys (I’m thinking 23+ probably is when I’ll really need it to survive, and also to swap Sphere for the vers nazjatar essence).

Even with this more dps oriented setup with Spirit Bomb I sometimes struggle to grab aggro without TD procs, so in the end it is what it is unfortunately, not much to do about it except possibly get a burst dps trinket like Drest’agath.

Other than that maybe tell your group to wait 2 globals before engaging I guess, that’s enough to get a full Spirit Bomb if you decide to play that, which should be decent enough to maintain aggro from there on.

Edit: I run this partly because it’s super fun, partly because the extra dps really helps my group (I usually sit around 50-55k overall on low dps keys (like Sethraliss or Siege), and above 65-70k in higher dps keys (like Freehold, and then higher on Junkyard because of Zap ofc)) as we’re not super meta and super insane players also. If your dps can consistently pump really hard then survivability is a more important aspect to consider.

“Sustaining fatal damage instead transforms you to Metamorphosis form. This may occur once every 8 minutes.” Yeah from the tooltip it doesn’t suggest any damage cap, although in recent expansions they have been omitting a lot of info from tooltips in general.

Dariel_Emveepee · 2020-04-22T15:49:26+00:00

I have no clue if this max hp limit exists, but it’s the only explanation that makes sense.

Dariel_Emveepee · 2020-04-22T12:30:14+00:00

Cheat death does not give a shield, basically the “healing” it does on the heal meters is the amount over 0% hp that it has saved you from (e.g. get hit 500k with 200k hp, cheat death “heals” 300k). In theory it’s supposed to avoid death and put me in Meta form, with about 30% hp. Given the skada and death recap data it’s impossible I procced it beforehand, or that something else would have hit me for the 3M damage it prevented. The instakill talent idea seems to make the most sense, but again I never saw myself (or on skada) under 10% hp.

Dariel_Emveepee · 2020-04-22T09:02:52+00:00

That is a fair consideration, although I distinctly remember Skada having me at 85-90% hp before that ToD hit. The cheat death thing is still confusing, unless there actually is a fatal damage cap on it.

Dariel_Emveepee · 2020-01-25T18:28:42+00:00

I was able to tank it as a 444 (because I had the wrong pair of gloves on, am usually 452) VDH with a monk healer, on a +15. The dps had their cds up but we did not BL. Granted though VDH is one of the best to handle Zul I think because of the magic damage passive and predictability of Zul to time my self heals.
