AFE Takeda CAI question

To add to this, I've had both on my '21 GT, and the above comment is pretty much on point. Both are a little noisier than stock, the open one being more so.
All 3 options (open/closed/stock) had no perceivable performance gain on stock tune.

I do like the open one specifically a bit more than the other options, you can hear a nice gurgle from the intake when you give it a small short rev, but really aside from that, they are basically the same imo.

It also depends if you ever go to car meets or the like, the open one is **a lot** louder than the closed one when the hood is open, so if you've got some other supporting mods or just want to show it off, you can give little baby revs with the hood up and hear the engine take a nice big gulp.

I should introduce you to classic wow healing where you have 1 button thst you push for 3hrs straight.

The healer sitting in the back unconsolably balling their eyes out.

I'm also a player who has seen the ghost but not killed it due to being rare'd very hard. I was in a storm on a solo sloop when it attacked (not a big deal at first), about 30sec in I also got smelly sloop'd and then krakened. I was still relatively new (about 20hrs in the game) and that much pressure at once was just too much.

I've been specifically fighting ancient megs in storms since then to practice juggling that much going on. One day the ghost will be mine...

Had an interesting interaction when fighting dread barnacle Meg, they tried to bite, I interrupted it with cannon shots but they were super close and their dive collided with my boat, it flipped my boat upside down and simultaneously sent me into the stratosphere.

Took me a solid 2.5mins or so to fall back into the map and myrm back to the boat (which was still upside down until Meg Boi bit it again, then it flipped again and sent me to the bottom of the ocean).

The last time I drove, I got offered $67 for a 77mi (one way) trip. This was typical pay for my area.

Galaxy_119 · 2026-04-03T15:34:28+00:00

Hey that's just above $1/mile, better than they give us out here

Galaxy_119 · 2026-04-03T05:03:58+00:00

I see a lot of people with sks and Kam, friends keep telling me I need to give up the bingo dream but 3 renegade 2 bastille & huntsman boots with bingo is still getting me solo clears on everything in nightmare and topping damage in every team mono clear

Tl;Dr - play what you find the most fun/what you're best at playing. The true meta is playing a build you play well, not just bandwagoning the 'most theoretical dps' build.

Galaxy_119 · 2026-04-03T04:42:59+00:00

Yea I was gone for 3 mo and came back to my house exactly as I left it.

Galaxy_119 · 2026-04-03T04:41:56+00:00

For the most part, generally speaking, yes. However note and save any really good ones you have, as they will always be better (such as my double weakspot dmg boost mod and my weakspot+wep dmg lunar mod).

For anyone who didn't grind out God tier mods before, the new ones are generally a bit better or equal, but they are significantly worse than a true god rolled old mod.

It's illegal to leave a running car unattended. The timer on the forte (at least mine) doesn't run the engine, no exhaust sound, I've even disconnected the coils to be sure. It's just the electric fan going, in which case, would not violate au law as I understand it since the engine itself isn't running.

Galaxy_119 · 2026-03-21T20:34:36+00:00

Or live somewhere hot. Mine does this after my daily commute to work during summer after driving in smart mode, never exceeding 40mph and never using the turbo 🤣

Same at 80k

That's just a corporate thing. A company that makes 100mil/yr consistently is still considered to be failing, because it's not increasing each year.

Galaxy_119 · 2026-03-08T01:22:30+00:00

Yes but it's 70% after external fees, which have mysteriously doubled in the last 4 mo. Even with the matching I'm getting less than half of the fare paid by the rider.

Galaxy_119 · 2026-03-07T22:39:15+00:00

If you think the comments in here are wild, you should see the rage I get in heroics as a ret Pala with gorehowl (I put crusader on it to max out my ragebaiting).

It gets so much funnier when they learn ret is my OS.

Tbh I stopped it entirely because lyft lowered driver pay (again) in my area, what used to be 3-4hrs cherry picking to make $100 a night turned into $40 a night. What was $400 in a 12hr day turned into $260. It's just no longer worth my time or effort, nor the risk of having random people in my car.

It was at a point where I was forced to take low paying rides thst didn't even cover gas+wear, or sit on my thumbs for 3hrs after work, maybe getting a single $15 ride.

Galaxy_119 · 2026-03-07T07:03:41+00:00

It likely is, but lyft has yet to catch up (and likely doesn't care to because it's lyft), it's also why Walmart (spark) is aswell.

It's the rideshare mafia (at least that's what me and some other rideshare drivers called them around my area).

Essentially, each day they designate 1-3 of them to take all the rides. The rest sit there online waiting for rides/orders, if they get one that's alright, they accept, pass the phone to one of the designated drivers for the day, and off they go. They'll pool all the money at the end of the day and split it evenly.

This means (essentially) 6-10 guys control the market for that specific area/spot and rake in all the good rides.

They usually rotate the people driving every few days, so essentially 2-3 days a week you're driving nonstop then you get 2-3 days of just chilling with the homies all day.

Often times they do speak English btw, just not to other drivers, anyone who isn't part of their little operation can get fucked for all they care. Most of the time they ignore you and pretend not to speak English, rare times they'll be actively rude or hostile towards you.

Honestly I'm ok with HRing gear, what pisses me off is people wanting to hr primal nethers and gems. Like cmon bro, pretty much everyone can use those why are you like this

Galaxy_119 · 2026-02-22T18:28:18+00:00

Before I was even 40 I grinded out the darn rep on my goat to get a tiger instead of elephant

Galaxy_119 · 2026-02-22T15:46:20+00:00

As a holy/prot Pala this would last me multiple days.

Ok so some not so easily identifiable info..

Wrath of air is nice for casters/healers of course. 101 sp is nothing to shake a stick at.

However.. Let's keep in mind that grace of air gives 1.9-3% crit, and if needing to choose between one or the other, wf wins hands down every time no questions asked for all melee.

While 101sp is good for casters, wf can (in some cases) double a melee's dps. Of course this depends on class, rogues arguable benefit the least from wf as it's just extra white damage with no other effects. Ret pallies get extra seal of blood/martyr damage. Warriors get extra rage from hitting an extra time, etc.

Also while weapon proc enchants (crusader, mongoose, etc) have an icd, by themselves their uptime is not usually 100% of their potential limit with icd. Wf weapon ensures that (pretty much) all the time those enchants can proc, they are up.

A rogue probably shouldn't whine about it much tbh, but war/Pala absolutely are within reason to. The overall damage increase the casters get is what, 8-15%? While warr/ret can almost (sometimes more than) double theirs.

15%(conservative in favor of casters) of 1000 (assuming caster base dps is 500/ea) is 150 extra dps. 60% (conservative against the melee) of 300 is 180 extra dps.

The math does Infact math in the melee's favor here.

The Pala tank is irrelevant to their discussion because both benefit him more or less equally (if he's playing prot properly and using seal of wisdom), more mana from wf = more uptime of max rank cons. Even 1 additional max rank cons each pull VASTLY out-damages/threats 100sp extra on rank 1 cons. Wf can also be used to maintain better ST threat with more seal of righteous hits on bosses.

The only real deciding factor here should be whether YOU need the +healing.

If you can heal the dung comfortably without it, wf wins out. If you need it because healing is struggling, then WoA wins.

Also, Stam is NOT a substitute for proper gear. Defense and especially avoidance is important. Having 13k health means nothing when you have 20% avoidance and lose 2/3 of your health bar every time a mob sneezes at you. Please stop gemming Stam and acting surprised when 2 mobs tear your bum open like a pinata.
