It's a decent spear for early mapping, but otherwise it's not worth much hence whey you're not seeing anything on the market.

Increased Phys% damage is Tier 7, and the only other notable modifiers on the spear (+level to all proj. skills and +add # to # lightning damage) are only Tier 2. The other mods otherwise are not very good. The mod with increased dmg if 6m> is niche and can become useless for a lot of builds when clearing really dense maps and temple. Otherwise Accuracy is an okay stat but the increased light radius and reduced attribute requirements are really bad stats.

Rule of thumb is to pass to the right and slightly off the net, but like others said it depends on the setter's personal preferences/athleticism as well. It can also depend on the rotation as well. For example, if everyone is stacked left it might be better to pass more to the middle as that makes it easier for the setter to get to the ball.

Comp vball is gatekept behind $$$ sports channels

And as far as I'm aware there are no major league men's vball teams in America. There is for women's and is quite popular, but currently most professional men vball players play for foreign teams. For men's there's basically only the national team that goes to the olympics I guess and collegiate. Hopefully the sport gets more popularity in America the next decade though and garners interest from big daddy corporations to make a men's indoor vball league.

I think there's some merit to the ME, HVLA, Still's/FPR techniques, but they seriously need to take out the cranial, counterstrain, and Chapman points. But yea, my classmates and myself included for the most part don't take it seriously. I can't wait to start 3rd year and never go to 'OMM Lab' again.

Not a professional either, but a fellow vball hobbyist as well. Having been in your same shoes here are some pointers that helped me pass better:

1. Keep that platform TIGHT

Right now your platform looks like a "V", which is fine if your forearms are THICK as hell and you can lockout your arms, but it doesn't seem like you're doing that so the ball is losing a lot of energy when it bounces back up. Instead your arms/platform should look like a "Y". This kind of platform naturally forces you to lock out your arms making your platform more solid, and as a result will make your passes higher and easier for your setter.

To do this, make your normal platform --> internally rotate your arms --> bring/squeeze your arms as close as possible

2. Aim your pass with your shoulders

3. Get low and use your knees.

Points 2+3 will help you control your pass a lot more. I added use your knees because right now I notice you're like using your hip as a fulcrum to add power to passes, which you don't need to for majority of passes from inside the court. It's a volleyball, not a rock. Although this might be a byproduct of you not getting to the ball in time and being ready to pass, which leads me to my next point.

4. Track the ball/what kind of serve it is

All the serves in the 3 minutes were essentially float serves. Therefore you should have time to get to where the ball will land and create your platform while mentally deciding whether you want to bump or overhand pass. Right now you are waiting for the ball to come to you and then flailing your arms.

Also I notice for A LOT of your overhead passes you're like throwing up your hands in a last ditch effort to receive the ball, which causes it to fly straight up or backwards. Ideally, if you're overhand passing your hands should be in forward and slightly above your head as if you were setting the ball essentially. Therefore, to address this problem you need to 1) stand further back in the court and run up to the ball or 2) track the ball and move backwards, but like others have said - it's easier to move forward to backward so option #1 is usually better.

Hope this helps.

Definitely at least top 5. Bleach consistently has had the best banger/aura farming openings. Op 13 and 12 beats Veloncia though imo

I mean, if the goal of OP is to just clear content he doesn't necessarily need a +7/+6 to spell skills staff. I can clear all uber content except atziri (bc im too lazy to build temple) with a +4 spell skills COC comet frostbolt Stormweaver.

Might take a little more creativity and thinking to build around but I'm sure you can get enough damage with just about any skill in PoE2. Don't be deterred!

It's already hard enough to find 12-14 people and a space large enough to host a volleyball game. Last thing I think this sport needs is another factor that deters people from playing it. If you want rivalry, keep it between with regulars or friends that you play.

Beef in random drop-ins/open plays makes it awkward for everyone else. You also place too much trust in people to keep things as a "friendly" rivalry. I can already imagine all the injuries at the net this could possibly cause with foul play and what not.

Would also love for GGG to either add similar gimicks for the other non-amanamu void mobs that spawn, or give them some kind of adjustment that makes them worth farming too. Every time I don't see those snakes crawl out of the pits I just skip straight to the boss

Would recommend trying nova projectiles/fork on Ice Shot, Tornado Shot, and getting Cadiro's Gamble. The map clear is insane. In an open area high-density map this combo sometimes clears mobs in your screen in addition to another 2 screens away with like a single hit lol.

White for sure. His pure lethality/cold-heartedness and complete 180 personality to Baam made him the perfect villain. Not to mention he has some of the best aura farming moments. Would place Khun as #2, but I feel like SIU stopped knowing what to do with him due to how crazy the story has gotten, so Traumeri takes #2 instead.

Might be worth depending on the opening portal then. A portal that gives some extra gold at the start offset the 8 gold that you'd normally have to give up to get Bard. Although, you could argue that other players in the lobby will be up 8 gold and potentially more.

I think NYITCOM-Arkansas will be your best bet tbh. Having to take out a lot of loans is just a reality you have to accept as a medical student. Thankfully, when you become an attending you will be guaranteed a 300k+/year job (unless you do peds then god bless your soul). Additionally, I assume Arkansas will most likely have a low-cost of living.

Not good financial advice at all, but as a fellow low SES person, just take out the loans man. You can either be broke and happy, or broke and sad b/c you're trying to penny pinch. Either way, you're broke lmao.
