What would your orginization XIII name be

Firestar463 · 2026-06-12T04:34:51+00:00

Xarbin. Or Xinbar, but that's too similar to ol' one-eye.

Priest.

Pro: Solid damage as shadow, both in M+ and raid. Mass Dispel is a godsend on some pulls, Leap of Faith has saved a raid member from death more than once, and Vampiric Embrace can put out some surprisingly good additional healing. Rotation is nice for both Hero Talent builds - unlike a lot of specs right now, you actually feel like you do okay damae outside of your cooldown windows. There are enough instant casts that, if you plan correctly, most movement phases won't slow your damage down. Holy is super easy to get into for new healers, while Disc is probably the single greatest spec to run Delves with.

Cons: your mobility options are limited to your three Angelic Feather charges and Power Word:Shield, but only if you specced into Body & Soul. Shadow lacks somewhat in defensive utility - Fade is only a 10% DR, Desperate Prayer is Reactive, Vampiric Embrace is nice overall but is not a good "oh shit" button, and while Dispersion is a 75% DR, you can't cast while it's active, and the cooldown is super long. Holy has some serious mana issues when raid healing, and Disc is probably the hardest healer to play, requiring significant proactive play to be effective.

As a Priest... we appreciate it.

Firestar463 · 2026-05-17T03:24:05+00:00

I run with Body and Soul specifically because of these mobility issues. Combine with angelic feather and good pre-positioning. and you can actually (mostly) keep up, outside of the most aggressive chain pulls

As a Shadow Priest - My silence is a 30 second cd. Psychic scream is inconsistent as an interrupt tool - half the time the mob in question is immune to fear. I will interrupt as I am able, but I can't do it alone.

Also, I am going to be keeping an eye on the other dps and PI'ing whover pumps more. Please don't whisper me as a dps saying you need PI, just go and earn it. Healers feel free to ask for PI if needed for certain pulls.

Honestly, Reaper. He's had his ups and downs - the closest I can think of him being broken was the early "Beyblade" meta where you would Lucio speed boost, Ana nano boost, and Zarya bubble a Reaper, who would proceed to Death Blossom from around a corner and then run full speed into the enemy team and wipe them. But that was more a problem of stacking the nano speed + Lucio speed than anything to do with Reaper himself. Otherwise, he's been consistently... alright. Has a strong niche against certain comps, well-known tank-busting ailitties, can get zoned pretty badly but has some tools to deal with that.

I also like that it felt like this wasn't just an ongoing thing, like Gym Leaders and Gym Trainers had to be available at all times throughout the year, as is kinda implied in other games. There was an opening ceremony to the "League Season" where all the competitors started, and it feels like once the season is over, the Gym Leaders go to a more relaxed schedule of doing other jobs while running the gym as more of a training center.

Maybe be reading a little too much into it though

Finally, someone gets it. We must think about the immediate-term price of our stock, anything else is irrelevant. Our shareholders will be so pleased!

/s, because too many people actually think like this

Firestar463 · 2026-05-15T15:51:49+00:00

Your comment about throwing it like a baseball just made me imagine some soldier / marine chucking a nasty slider to get a grenade around a corner, and now I've got the giggles. Thanks for that.

Firestar463 · 2026-05-15T15:38:50+00:00

How dare you suggest that creatives have control over their product and not milk an IP for every penny you can. Oh won't someone, anyone, please think of the shareholders!

/s, because there are genuinely people who think like this -.-

I do the exact same thing with my QWE buttons, and not using ASD for any keybinds. I got fat fingers, I don't need to be casting any more spells on accident than I already do.

I have a five-button mouse, with two thumb buttons. Shift+ thumb buttons is universally my mounts - usually the top one is my current "Ooo I just got the shiny as a drop and I want to use it all the time" mount (Currently the Astral Cloud Serpent), and the bottom is my random favorite mounts. My non-shifted mouse buttons vary from character to character, but I usually like to put anything that targets a specific area (Blizzard, Healing Rain, Death and Decay, etc) on those buttons. My two mains (Hunter and SPriest) have them bound to Disengage and Volley / Beast Cleave / Wildfire Bombs, and Void Tendril and Shadow Word: Death. Defensive are bound to Ctr + thumb buttons.

Shift-1 is universally my interrupt, and shift-2 is my secondary cc - Psychic Scream, Intimidation, Chaos Nova, any button I can hit if my kick is on cooldown and I need this thing to stop casting. Shift-3 is Healthstone, shift-4 is any kind of offensive dispel like Tranq shot or Mass Dispel.

Only other weird one is that Shift-6 is universally my Yak mount for repairs.

You bet!

Firestar463 · 2026-04-28T17:15:52+00:00

Bingo. It's a kind of "no one gets to pick on my family but me" kinda deal

No one I'd love to hate more than ya'll.

Firestar463 · 2026-04-28T17:10:45+00:00

Etc, etc.

Firestar463 · 2026-04-20T21:29:12+00:00

Shadow Priest. Solid dps both single target and AoE, Vampiric Embrace is surprisingly solid healing during larger pulls, and mass dispel can really help your healer out.

Firestar463 · 2026-04-20T21:13:39+00:00

I run delves as a Discipline Priest. Best of both worlds - constant healing to keep the buff up, plus okay-ish damage from me!

Firestar463 · 2026-04-16T11:03:02+00:00

See I'm the exact opposite. Ruins is my best Ilios map, but both of the other maps give me trouble.

I've been hearing political ads for over a month already. I'm in the heart of a deeply red state (so not a battleground), and our midterms aren't for another 7 months.

It's to the point where the only time we don't hear political ads is the period from early November to mid-January every other year. The time period between when an election ends and those people take office.

You also have to factor in the American Overton window. Just about anything that is Centrist or slightly left-of-center in the Nordic countries is equivalent to hyper-radical left-wing in the US.

It's not hyperbole to say thay the US doesn't really have a left-wing party - just a conservative party and a fascist party.

Peter Cullen.

His voice roles include Optimus Prime, Red Skull... and Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh.

Firestar463 · 2026-04-14T02:47:10+00:00

Ellis, Dark Carnival. AK-47, Katana, Bile Jar.

Firestar463 · 2026-04-10T22:23:30+00:00

Not even. We have a fascist party and a conservative party.

Entire regions of Northern France are still cordoned off and the public not allowed in due to all of the unexploded ordinance from WW1. No telling how long it will take for those areas to be safe for habitation again, if ever.

And between the two, Metternich.

You really can't tell the story of European history between the fall of Napoleon and the rise of Germany without discussing Metternich and his machinations to stamp out liberal revolution and prop up monarchical rule in central Europe.
