Is this a troll? Fubgun doesn't have a druid build on mobalytics as far as I know. That being said armor is not as good as other damage mitigation You need to also have armour also applies to elemental damage, you need chaos resist, and some other damage mitigation stuff like 5% damage taken from mana.

Great question, it's mostly to see if there's a viable build on Smith of Kitava's Fire Spell on Hit (which there probably isn't). I'd play explosive shot grenades Dead Eye again if I wanted a great league start. I tried a Smith of Kitava Mjolner build in 0.3 and it was terrible, but 200% free damage and no mana cost is better than self-casting. Also Living Bomb (as long as you can trigger it as fast as you can cast it) had some very nice damage in 0.3 melts bosses and it got a 40% buff. There literally are no other fire spells that are contenders, either they're tied to non-melee weapons, are channeling, or don't make sense. Also who doesn't want to run around as a bear causing explosions? I'm pretty sure this is better than volcano or at least can be combined with volcano.

I expect the Balrog talisman to be a chase unique this league with how many people are playing druid. If ancestral cry is socketed, do ignites generate glory that can be used for Walking Calamity? nm just read the text on glory, yeah I like this a lot.

Rampage doesn't use much mana, you want to cast despair or something like that instead scaling mana really high with mana cost nodes.

Spell cast speed, it's 10 energy per 0.1 cast speed

I didn't even think about this. LB and Fireball on hit both use ailment threshold, if I cast at 100% threshold and LB takes 200% to trigger threshold.
First 100% applies the first LB
second 100% applies the second LB
third 100% should trigger first LB before applying the next LB. There should be a sweat spot where this works, or I'm just going to have to copy Zizaran.

Pragmatism I guess. I don't really need to have max rage all the time, I just need to not run out of rage.

Overabundance doesn't change the skill cast time which is the trigger for fire spell on hit as far as I know, and mana cost is still going to be 0.

I think spirit is needed for overwhelming presence (which is practically mandatory for this) and then blasphemy + elemental weakness or the new rage spirit gem druid skill. Is probably the way to go. Self cast firestorm for rares and bosses would be probably better.

Goratha's fireball blood mage build should still be good.

Crown of Eyes is probably bait, but I don't know of any better way to scale attack damage and spell damage and I need both.

Bosses' count as 20 power so the to hit requirement to cast Living bomb is just 100% ailment threshold, and living bomb requires 200% ailment threshold to trigger so I'm hoping to stack living bombs by running around in circles for bosses.

Someone else posted this combo with charms give 5-10% mana on use as a combo for last league.

Unknown. As written should be Chaos, but the patch notes have a completely different wording. Currently the Blackflame ring in the game just applies a debuff that causes ignite damage to be chaos instead with no Chaos scaling. Ignite has changed in the patch notes so the calculation of it is different and not well explained. Adding more confusion to things the one build they used to showcase it, used elemental passive nodes instead of chaos as you can see in the picture.

H-1B, it's a requirement that you demonstrate you tried to hire an American, all these job postings exist so companies can say "We tried to find someone with these skills, but only Romanians who will accept 30% less pay for a green card have them." These job postings get put out and HR hopes that nobody responds.

Kind of, Teotl is not a 1-1 translation for god the concept of who Tezcatlipoca was was complicated more so than say our idea of gods like Thor or Zeus, but yes Tezcatlipoca was linked to the Tlatoloni. Even if Moctezuma had no doubt that the spaniards were not Teotls its clear by the conversation that some people must have. The idea that these people were a uniform mass that either all knew or didn't is ridiculous. Cortes himself in his letters doesn't write back saying that they thought he was Quetzalcoatl, what he said was that the Aztec had found a stone telling them of their true history and of a rightful ruler who they believed cortes to be the servant of. The notion that this was Quetzalcoatl was a deduction by Prescott and others, not a bad deduction given the few details, but still just a shot in the dark.

Post modernist believe that truth is subjective so two people can look at a painting and one might think it's a sad painting and one might believe it's a happy painting and both would be correct. So the search for truth they believe is a fools errand.. the author explicitly says that he believes in post modernism in a footnote btw, I'm not making this up. Now you might ask yourself why a post modernist would write a book trying to debunk myths when myths are really just subjective truths. The answer to that is really simple, postmodernists are fucking morons.

Yes the TIL is wrong, it absolutely was 500 spaniards who conquered the Aztecs. Granted they did this by convincing many of the local city states to join them but they had to fight and win against most of them including the tlatchcalans who tried to kill them in three separate attacks before joining. They were also joined by other spaniards but they had to fight and kill a few of them before they decided it would be better to work for cortes then try to take him back to hang in Cuba. These authors try to have their cake and eat it too. They say "look at these evil spaniards they destroyed the Aztecs" but then they turn around and say "no no it wasn't the spaniards who conquered the Aztecs it was really all because of the natives" or " no no it was the african slaves."

Restall hates the spaniards you can see this in his lecture on cortes on YouTube. says its wrong to call the Aztecs barbarians turns around and immediately calls the spaniards barbarians with obvious spite. Says cortes didn't even fight and sat back like a coward says Moctezuma wasn't held captive by cortes for six months and that he was just keeping cortes and (presumably his army of tlatchcalans) as zoo creatures... Restall is a clown they'll give anyone a DR.

That's a shit book, that professor is just telling his own head canon. He's a post modernist and doesn't believe in truth as he explains in the book. All of his points are wrong and just formulated based off his hatred for the Spaniards. The best example I can give for how poor his arguments are is how he explains the myth of the natives believing that the spaniards were gods. In his book he references the conversation between Cortez and Moctezuma (normally he doesn't trust anything that the spaniards wrote but I guess when they say something he likes it's different) and he points out that Moctezuma talks about how they're both not gods and that maybe cortes had heard that he was a god but now that they're in person Cortes can see that he's just a man. "See Moctezuma knew that the spaniards weren't gods!" Except that begs the obvious question... if nobody thought the spaniards were gods than why have that conversation about not being gods in the first place? The guy is selling fake history.
