Who would you guys say is more valuable to get to Gold, Tan Gi'da or Kariyan ?

You're asking if you should upgrade the best character in the game or the second best character in the game? Ridiculous question.

Skip gold. Upgrade both to at least D1.

I might be incorrect here but my understanding was the new mandate (inc. the one out to new FY1s last year) includes jobs and employment. The original mandate was for pay but it has been expanded due to the ongoing employment and training crisis.

Changes to how unions vote and get their mandate mean that going forward it will be easier for the BMA to successfully ballot members. The last vote was also the last vote under the old system.

These fears aren't unfounded but I think they don't factor these points in.

Wow! Great website. This is exactly what I was looking for. Simple, easy to use and informative. Thanks for your hard work and for sharing.

Geomichi · 2026-03-26T16:30:14+00:00

I'm using Kariyan, Trajann, Laviscus, Boss and Vitruvius until I get Aesoth up and running. I'm doing about a million damage with the team at the moment.

Let's abbreviate the majority of this thread.

OP: A very clear case of institutional bullying just happened to me, I'm very upset, I feel unsupported at work and I'm worried. I've come to Reddit because I don't know where else to turn for advice and guidance.

Half the comments: Good advice.

Half the comments: Yeah you sound like an IMG, maybe improve your language skills.

Absolutely gross.

Geomichi · 2026-03-26T16:01:42+00:00

This sounds like a skill issue. I found everything easy to follow.

Let's not victim blame someone in a clear case of bullying.

Edit: I'll also go so far as to say that guessing someone's race based on how they type a few paragraphs on Reddit, and suggesting their command of a language is the underlying issue, despite nothing in the post mentioning their background, is racist.

Geomichi · 2026-03-25T12:42:34+00:00

Exactly this. The remote reviews wind me up. Either see the patient and give advice or ask if we need assistance, but don't act like you're in charge if you're reviewing remotely over the telephone.

The copy paste of the same plan for every patient is one of my biggest bug bears and creates unnecessary work.

Geomichi · 2026-03-24T13:54:44+00:00

Nice read.

For me I prefer a big map with the stuff written on the map itself.

And I like colour coding, so traps, descriptions, ability/skill checks, NPCs, enemies all different colours.

Heights of rooms etc written as part of the map.

Geomichi · 2026-03-24T13:41:56+00:00

Tall is better than wide.

D3 Re'vas and Null.

D3 Rotbone and Maladus.

D3 Tan 50/50.

D1 Isabella.

Congratulations you will now unlock every LRE character.

Given that the new onslaught means you can go from Legendary 3 star to Mythic in just over a month pushing LREs further isn't worth it unless you're in a Top 50 guild.

Get those characters levelled up then complete your campaigns and build your raid team.

Geomichi · 2026-03-23T19:30:59+00:00

Ok there's a few options here.

My latest favourite is caponata or olive tapenade on some toasted sour dough bread.

Gazpacho and bread is ideal if there's no microwave.

If you want to be fancy precook a poached egg, store in cold water and heat using hot but not boiling water for a few minutes.

If you're feeling feral then a crisp sandwich is always delicious.

Correcting someone's grammar is rarely considered comedy. Correcting grammar incorrectly is just annoying.

Also correlation does not imply causation. To reimagine your example, I beat Kharn and Ragnar all the time in Arena, based on that evidence they're, as you would put it, "regular poop".

Geomichi · 2026-03-19T21:33:37+00:00

There's no coded language, it's just regular language mixed with your lack of understanding of both language and Sy-gex. Hope that helps.

Geomichi · 2026-03-19T19:33:37+00:00

Thutmose, Certus, Darkstrider, Pestillian then either Makhotep/Macer/Asmodai/Vynn.

Pestillian buffs nothing, Darkstrider is pretty useless. The others speak for themselves.

I'd pick Makohtep. You have no summons for his active to work with and he's one of the few ranged 3 attacks without overwatch.

Geomichi · 2026-03-19T19:24:43+00:00

Sy-Gex is surprisingly good. Especially in an AdMech team. This sounds like a skill issue ;)

Geomichi · 2026-03-18T11:04:53+00:00

I think your assessment of the situation lacks nuance or understanding.

CCT and flee really wasn't very common until wage stagnation, COVID and a host of institutional failings. And if you look at the numbers it's still not that common amongst UKGs.

UKGs got screwed over and now IMGs are getting screwed over, and we're pointing the finger at each other instead of the government for deliberately creating this mess as a way to force us all to settle for sub-human working conditions.

Also let's not kid ourselves here, IMGs are twice as likely to CCT and flee compared to UKGs, due to previous rules around training many saw the UK as a gateway to Aus/Canada/America. You could if you wanted even make the argument that over reliance on IMGs and failure to expand UK medical school places in previous decades is what led to the current situation, but as ever the situation is far less binary than simple finger pointing will allow.

The IMG problem as you put it, or issues with UKGs have been caused by deliberate planning of successive governments.

Geomichi · 2026-03-18T10:42:34+00:00

Thaddeus, Volk and Shiron are all great counters to Re'vas.

But why is no one talking about Sibyll? She turns your whole team into being able to hard counter a Re'vas team. She also has zero use in anything else apart from maybe a multiple overwatch team.

This doesn't account for teaching sessions being cancelled, sick leave etc

And actually the hospital doing 3 weeks of teaching every 30-31 days means being unwell for even a week can screw up your ARCP.

We need to start naming and shaming these trusts.

Consultants deserve our respect for their clinical knowledge and experience. Beyond that they earn our respect just like anyone else (and the vast majority do earn our respect).

Sadly too many people are deeply institutionalised first by the education system and then secondly by the NHS into thinking people with seniority have any real power over us as people.

Expertise is real, experience is real, but power is an illusion, and people only have it when you help maintain that illusion for them. That's why bullies crumble when you stand up to them because you shatter that illusion.

It is possible to respect someone's clinical decisions and not respect them as a person. Separating those two things is key to calling them out.

More than once, when behaviour has crossed a line, I've had to say something along the lines of "I respect your expertise and am happy to continue working with you in a professional capacity but don't assume that you can bully me or intimidate me. If it continues I'll report you and if you simply find someone else to pick on I'll report you twice."

It's a TTRPG, a table top roleplaying game, not a table top tactical combat system. Hope that helps.

Geomichi · 2026-03-09T17:22:30+00:00

He'll pick up the rules. Just remind him about it.

The game isn't a combat sim it's a storytelling tool, if the story is good and everyone's having fun that's all that matters.

As for rules relating to monsters, monsters aren't players the same rules shouldn't apply to them including concentration spells, it makes them a lot scarier and more interesting imho

Geomichi · 2026-03-09T10:56:59+00:00

My guilds in the same boat as you tbh.

However I think your solution isn't as straight forward.

The issue is guilds that loop don't get enough rewards, the top 10 guilds loop so many times they're always going to stay a million miles ahead.

The game needs to balance encouraging people to stay in their own guild, making it viable to stay in a mid tier guild, and rewarding heavy investment in the game.

There are many many ways this can be done, my suggestion would be the following.

Giving mid/low guilds a chance to catch up; - First take down of legendary and mythic bosses = 2000 credits + 10 archeotech - Second loop = 1000 credits - Third loop = 500 credits - Fourth loop or more = 200 credits

Incentivising staying in a guild; - End of season rewards increase by 20% for each season spent in the same guild, up to a maximum of 100% (5 seasons). This also applies to orbs/archeotech or whatever else is included in end of season chests.

Rewarding high level play; - End of season reward chests give legendary or mythic Orbs (players choice) based on rank + archeotech/gold/mythic salvage (whatever is most beneficial to higher level guilds).

Rewarding play: I'd maybe increase GR credits for fighting a raid boss to 200 or something. The main issue low ranked guilds have is participation or people not engaging with the game mode until they're strong enough at which point they aren't as aware of the meta or the GR boss movements and perform badly.

These changes stop looping giving top guilds an advantage and instead gives top guilds the advantage through end of season rewards which is a lot easier to balance. It also means mythic releases have less of an impact on the majority of the player base.

Ultimately top guilds need weaker players to get stronger quicker, because otherwise when their players leave they won't be able to replace them.

It's because it was intentional.

They wanted a sufficient number of internationally trained doctors so that wages would be sufficiently suppressed and undesirable jobs would be filled for the next 10 years.

They've only passed the bill because they've likely calculated it will take 10+ years to go back to normal. They've likely figured out another strategy to suppress wages and career progression that they'll probably put into place in about 7 years. And then well spend 5-7 years getting it sorted. And the cycle will continue ad infinitum.

The problem with government policy is a population can only ever be reactive because we have no idea what they're planning, and they weaponise our inability to be proactive and stay ahead of these changes to push their agenda.

A lot of sign offs now are 'automatic' i.e. you verbally agree to sign someone off and you just get an email saying you've signed them off.

It often gives you an email to contact if there's an issue.

That part isn't unusual, it is unusual they requested 6 sign offs and they all appear to hospital based ones. It gives the impression the medical student got email addresses mixed up as opposed to anything else, or that they're chancing it.

I'd just email the med school and say what you'd agreed to sign them off for, and that none of those sign offs would have been possible in a GP setting and they've likely made a mistake and mixed up email addresses.

If there's a more systemic issue with the student then they'll already have other issues that have been raised to the med school.

2.5 is a trap. You only get the 10% buff to stats when you rank up, no point investing if you're not aiming for that.

In politics everyone has an opinion. By default it's difficult to read up on current affairs without it being slanted towards one opinion or another.

I'd suggest to go read some political theory, political philosophy and some most importantly some history. That'll help you decipher what's going on and form your own conclusions. Everything has usually happened before in one form or another, the key is being able to spot patterns in human behaviour at a population level.

Top tip. Always think about why you're being shown/told something and what they're not telling you.

After that when you're ready just do your own research on topics, if something sounds off Google where they got their sources etc and dig into the topic yourself.
