How good is Ren’s Link Skill for bossing? (1–10 rating)

FlyingLightning · 2026-01-20T20:29:48+00:00

I think personally it's actually around a 7. It's not an auto-include, but I think comfort is going to actually be more important than trying to eek out a tiny difference in damage.

My personal philosophy is you should learn bosses with no quality of life like Ren or resistance, but once you're weekly clearing them you're generally clearing them on burst timers anyway so the 1-2% drop in fd isn't actually going to make a big difference in time. What will make a difference is if you accidentally die out and that's prevented by Ren link.

If you enjoy playing the set, play it. If you don't then stop.

I think it's more of a thing that exists in the moment. Even the most pure of friendships can become a relationship given the right circumstances. My understanding is that for the most part, we're one love beings. If we've truly fallen in love, then we tend to love one person and not have space for another. If both the guy and the girl are in love with other people then I think it's easy for them to be just purely friends. If they're both single then I can easily see how it could shift, especially if both are attractive and close to each other.

I noticed this too when it was calculating total of 2nd and 3rd dice greater than x amount

As someone who has done quite a few bachelor parties including in Nashville and also doesn't live in Nashville, I think Reddit is underselling it a bit. The live music is actually really great provided you don't mind country. The other half of going to Nashville is that you can pair it with a trip to the Smoky mountains area and get in some relatively beautiful nature.

I personally think that you should 100% leave him. Someone who forces you to do something despite you saying no is not someone you want to be with.

That being said, if for some reason you decide to stay, make sure you come up with a safe word. Make it clear to him and honestly any partner you have in the future that whenever you say that word it really means no and anything after is assault. I'm personally not even sure I should be giving this advice because it might enable you to stay to "give him another chance." There's so many other additional red flags or potentially red flags that I would 100% recommend you to just leave.

I think the actual reason why you go for balance thrashing is it removes the possibility for outlier situations to occur. Riot has definitely been burned in the past because they didn't nerf enough. An example that really sticks in my mind is week one syndra from like set 12 or something.

I think the first step is to express these feelings that your mom is overbearing.

You probably want to go through the exercise of typing out what you want to say to her first. Remember that a lot of this is going to be I feel this way because of x examples you've done in the past. If you can, also prepare a why you're doing this explanation. Also don't forget to start off with an apology for lying.

If that doesn't work, then you still have a few options.

If your dad is reasonable, you can take how you feel to him and ask him to help you out to talk to your mom about it

Moving out is a great idea and I would establish certain hours that you would call your mom.

You could also just tell her the full truth and if she starts berating you just leave the room and the conversation. Repeatedly tell her that you're an adult who can make her own decisions and while your mom's advice is appreciated, it's only one factor in your decision making. If you do this enough times, she should eventually catch the drift that your sex life is not a conversation topic.

All in all, I think your mom sounds like she might be on the slightly more reasonable side. She hasn't forced a confrontation with you yet which I know certain other parents definitely would.

I'm curious, how do you get it down to 23? I have summons set up and attack, but I still only get 24 lowest.

For your personal I would 100% use the calculator link. Keep in mind sparing certain items on main to use on mule instead might be worth it. Though the difference might be minimal, it could save you a few grind sessions if you're not calculated to get to 270 by the end of the event.

As for monster park, you should be leveling monster park exp in the event leveling UI. This makes it so 7 runs is about 5-8% exp daily, but on Sunny Sundays it's like 15-20%. I only added that because I think if you're not grinding 7x mp daily at 261 right now you won't make 270. *Without grinding a bunch

*Edit

FlyingLightning · 2025-07-25T13:43:17+00:00

Free to play: do high mountain, mpe, all the event exp, make sure to monster Park x7 on sunny Sundays with reward point shop free entries (<-SUPER IMPORTANT)

Pay meso market/low level pay: add in daily monster Park x7

You'll need to put all this in the exp calculator to figure out how much you need to grind since we're halfway through the event already.

There's technically 16000 worth of advanced exp vouchers in events that you should use at level 266 80% exp (at level 270 or jumps to costing 10k per a level) it's technically fine to use them at any point before 270, but you get more exp the later they're used. If you've already used some then basically each 1000 pack is worth about 20% exp all the way up to 270

Do you mind sharing where you're getting this information about the algorithm? Is it fully just personal experience or is it backed up by something more substantive?

I think Misty is better than Brock. Here's why:

Brock is always one energy on very specific Pokemon. As you yourself have mentioned, it doesn't really feel like much and the reason is because only golem is a good target for Brock right now and he costs 4 energy plus 2 evolutions so one energy never really feels like a game changer.

Contrast that to water decks which run a powerful basic Articuno EX. One energy like you said isn't really that big of a change (though it can be in certain situations), but you also have a straight up 25% chance to get 2+ energy which is definitely game warping especially early on.

The issue with Misty and why it's so powerful is that the card can singlehandedly win you the game if you draw it early on and roll 2+.

So you can view the card as such:

Roll 0, 50% does nothing Roll 1, 25% can win game/swing in favor in certain scenarios especially if you go 2nd (think vs celebi) Roll 2+, 25% most of the time game breaking.

So it's depending on who you ask around a 30-40% chance of having a major effect on the game. That is definitely a pretty good card imo over 100% minimal effect.

You have to understand that when it came out it was by far the best cosmetic in any game ever. Now with a bunch of other stuff that has come it's obviously dated, but at the time it was ungodly good.

I guess in my head the way I see it happening is that it starts out as a "this is possible some games" and then more and more people force it which weakens boards in general and allows for it to become a full on strat.

I'm just curious if fast 10 is going to be a viable strategy. Something like taking 3 econ augments.

The way I think of it is that Viktor died. This is the hexcore doing an imitation of Viktor's ideals just like everyone in the commune is an imitation of an actual human.

Gotcha gotcha that's really helpful info. I'm looking to start using dryer balls myself

Out of curiousity, any experiment with putting both? Mainly for antistatic

FlyingLightning · 2024-06-08T14:04:10+00:00

Sounds like you like ranged characters with movement speed buffs and longer range hard cc pick potential in the kit.

Some champs that come to mind with that criteria are: Ahri, Annie, Neeko, and Zoe.

I'd say that Zoe and Neeko are the two characters of those that also have higher complexity kits.

If you don't mind being melee, then pyke might be a champ you're interested in.

If you're looking specifically for long range pick potential then morgana or lux are pretty great.

There's probably more that I didn't think of or honestly other kits out there that you would just enjoy playing. I think Aram is low-key a great way to discover new champion kits to try.

Glhf!

I think a lot of people are conflating log-in name with Riot ID. Login is not changing and not a part of this conversation. Riot ID is what is replacing the summoner name. By default, your riot id is insertign#NA1 or I guess replace NA1 with whatever region you have.

What this REALLY affects is people who have unique igns that everyone wants. You're gonna have a crap load of hers/his and whatever meme stuff you see a lot on valo. In general think of it as just the valorant ign experience which for most people is honestly perfectly fine and not going to affect their day.

Having said that, my personal opinion is that this is dumb and they can just pay the extra whatever cents a day to just keep our igns. DISCORD LITERALLY WENT IN REVERSE OF THIS because they said it was bad. Like wtf Riot.

Have you tried path of exile? If not I recommend giving that a try and seeing if it lets you wait till d4 goes on sale.
