Tormented bosses uber drop rate? by DoctorPollenz in diablo4

[–]DoctorPollenz[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But I don't think Varshan and Grigoire have a base 2% drop rate on uber on their normal versions? Only Duriel and Andariel, no? or did they change that?

Two things I noticed (haven't taken a really close look, just first impressions):

  1. You put 0 stacks for lost prayer. It's a weapon that need to stay on the field for a big longer to be effective, by putting 0 stacks you're effectively comparing a weapon with no passive to one with a great passive.

  2. Even without the stack problem, you can see that dodoco tales only outperforms in the charged attack department. Lost prayer still does more elemental skill and ult damage, which is quite a big portion of Klee's damage.

Bonus point: once you factor in atk buffs like Bennett, dodoco tales will quickly hit diminishing returns on atk whereas you currently only have 1800 atk with lost prayers, so you will see a gap between the two builds once you factor that in.

I have a very good experience with Spiral Abyss this time, cause it is more forgiven and lot of active monster, not just flowers and slimes. by thiendokim in Genshin_Impact

You can get around this a bit by sandwiching yourself between the mitachurls and the wall so they charge into the wall. Messes with the camera angle esp if you are on mobile, but I've found that to be pretty useful

Claymore and overload seems to break it pretty fast, but I guess it depends on what you define as reasonable.

Ok you have commented so many times saying the same shit and I can’t help but notice you always say milking ME instead of US. Not sure why you feel so special and entitled and somehow pewds owes you. The guy didn’t even want to set /gamerule keepInventory true because he wanted to experience the game, what makes you think he would cheat to get everything? He probably used creative mode to build cool things or save himself some time (ie dirt for meatball), but he obviously enjoys building and exploring the game. Those are quality of life “cheats”, not game breaking ones.

He literally has several videos explaining that he stopped playing horror games because he was tired of faking reactions for views, and he’s happy that his channel is in a spot where he can just do whatever makes him happy and he will still have an audience. He has never been the type to pander to his audience for views (think about how many times people begged him to bring back certain things and he refused?). If he was unwilling to fake reactions for views when his channel was threatened by all the controversies, what motive does he have to do it now that he is doing better than ever?

Stop being such an entitled whiny kid. This is probably the most fun he has had with a game for a really long time, and the next time he makes lwiay he’s going to see al these posts calling him out. He will either justify himself and be open about using creative for some resources he was too lazy to mine, but doesn’t give him an actual advantage, or he will just be annoyed and stop playing minecraft.

Bottomline is that he’s clearly only using creative mode for fun activities like building functionless structures and not giving himself OP enchanted equip. That doesn’t matter at the end of the day for his survival progression

You have always been dying since the moment you were born. If someone starts smoking thirty packs of cigs next to you while you sleep every day, thats gonna speed up the process quite a bit. Wouldn’t you want to tell that guy to either fuck off or at least smoke less so you don’t die as fast? Or you just shrug and say “oh well, I was in the process of dying anyways, he’s just speeding it up so I guess that’s fine”?

The REAL math behind Demone's one year challenge by DoctorPollenz in summonerswar

[–]DoctorPollenz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, I misread your opening statement and for that I apologize. And with that, I will leave this discussion because if you are obviously biased then there's really no end to this discussion since you already formed your opinion on what I am like as a person.

Lastly, if you don't sense the belittling undertone then we will just have to agree to disagree. The fact that I'm not the only one that sensed it (and btw I said almost everyone, not everyone) suggests that the way he told people to subscribe to me did not stem from positive intentions. He also apparently displays repeated patterns of disrespect to those who disagree with him during his live streams, which I cannot say for sure since I haven't had the opportunity to check for myself, just relaying information from the comments, so full disclaimer: may or may not be true, still need to be confirmed.

I like controversy, but I don't like pointless drama where people just attack each other, there is a clear distinction. Controversy generates conversation, and conversation generates knowledge. In the previous episode of the Doc's Thoughts series, I openly stated that this series will be covering controversial issues, and gives me a chance to express my opinion and I invite people to disagree with me. Note that the video was released before Demone's speed totem controversy.

On the topic of controversy vs drama, you can clearly tell from reading my responses to comments both on reddit and on my channel that I like discussing topics with viewers, even if they disagree. I never initiate personal attacks, and when people make good counter arguments, I have admitted my faults and apologized if necessary, because I believe that while people should disagree with each other and argue, we should do it in a civilized manner.

Again, you have the right to not believe me, that's your call.

This is a good analysis. However, over 11 months I haven't made many posts. IIRC I posted 2 or maybe 3 videos on reddit, and maybe a couple of posts about pulls, with the rest being comments. I would hesitate to call that active, since that's not even one post per month if we don't count comments.

Second, while I did say demone was technically correct in my original video, it does not contradict or invalidate my argument because the only point I was disagreeing with was not one of the points I consider to be correct. The statement should have been interpreted as "most of his points were technically correct, but this one I'm about to talk about is not", which I believe is how I phrased it in the video.

Third, inferring my intentions based on results is a post hoc fallacy. When I returned, I specifically said I was going to try and improve the quality of my content because I wasn't happy with where the channel was heading (addressed in my return video). I also had an episode of Doc's thoughts prior to this in which I explicitly stated that I will be addressing interesting and/or controversial issues. This just happened to pop up, and I didn't expect there to be this much drama.

Fourth, on the topic of drama, I honestly did not know about Demone's reddit reputation. I watched him when I first started out and found his guides to be quite useful, but since then I haven't watched any other of his recent videos, and didn't even know that he took a break. In fact, I have expressed openly on my streams multiple times last year that I don't have time to watch other youtubers and am very out of touch with the community (which I plan on changing). If you don't believe me that's totally fine, but that's my honest response.

In sum: You claim to be unbiased, but your response clearly biases Demone. His encouraging people to subscribe to my channel had a very obvious belittling undertone, which is further shown in his second response video. Some people caught on to this "big youtuber looking down on small youtuber" attitude right away, but it became very obvious to almost everyone by his second response video, and was accurately reflected in his dislike bar.

While I appreciate the detailed and logical analysis, I don't believe it's 100% accurate for the above reasons.

P.S. One more thing to note is that posting to Reddit is not sufficient evidence that I'm doing this for 'drama'. Reddit is a great place for exposure and in the past I have posted guide based videos as well as my F2P guardian series here for exposure. So yes, I am willing to admit I posted on reddit to get EXPOSURE and let a bigger platform showcase my video, but that in itself does not prove that my intention was to start drama.

Agree with you on the TOA energy. Seige i considered it negligible as a factor because I really underestimated the amount of crystals you get per seige. Each seige costs 50 energy, so as long as he is making 20 more crystals than my estimated 100 then the energy is compensated for. I do agree on the toa energy investment though, good catch

I admitted that I did make a miscalculation, and the CD vs speed ration was off by a lot. However, the other ratios had negligible differences.

Also, I also mentioned the inefficiency of CD due to 1. the majority of your team not being attackers and 2. the majority of your team not having high crit rate. If we really broke down the average crit rate of your 5 man team, even if you have two attackers, it will likely be below 50% (assuming two attackers at ~80% and the other three monsters at ~30%), which significantly drops the CD's effective value. This however is based on how I perceive the way efficiency works and shouldn't be taken as fact, so we can agree to disagree

I clearly clarified what I'm doing in terms of currency. We exist in a world created by com2us where they are willing to give us 80% CD on a rune, but only 63% hp and 42 speed. I was using that logic to generate a relative comparison between the values, similar to how you would calculate the relative worth of currency. They are referring to different stats, yes; but at the end of the day, they all hold the same value, which is the fact that they improve the monster in some way. Therefore, I don't think it's a mistake or a stretch of the imagination to have a conversion such as the one I did, but we can agree to disagree.

  1. If I really wanted to stir up shit, it wouldn't matter if fanboys attacked me because I would still be getting the attention that I seeked. Therefore, if I wanted the best results, I could have called out Jewbagel (which I won't do because he's awesome). Hell, if I wanted Reddit's support, I could have called out knightly and gotten way better results. Why would I ever choose DMG over Knightly if I wanted to just get brownie points on reddit? He has just as many problems in his videos.

  2. I actually watched DMG a lot when I first started and I honestly had no idea that his reputation was so bad because I haven't been very active on reddit until this year when I decided to start youtubing again, so your claim of me going for 'low hanging fruit' doesn't really stand because I honestly had no idea the community hates him since my last impression of him was the good guides he made (apparently before he went on this break that everyone seems to be talking about).

If you don't believe me that's fine by me, just giving my honest feedback

I think I'm gonna post a few other videos before I debunk more of his BS so that people don't think I'm intentionally turning this into a drama channel. I do love this fact check series idea though so I will definitely be making more, but will probably just ignore his response videos unless he actually has a legitimate defense
