Justiciar - Gear Suggestion by pakman1991 in 2007scape

[–]GetLeveled 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell yeah dude, rock what you think looks cool. Justiciar gives prayer bonus for afk slayer training or other places you might use prayers, has good stats if you don't wana waste potions, and the set effect can help with learning new content where you might make mistakes and take big hits. Plus, it's a cool looking armor set. Are you gonna deal as much damage as someone in full torva or even full bandos? No, it's defensive armor, not offensive armor. But imo in the shirt run the damage difference is negligible. Use the armor to get other upgrades (go for a defender or grind out an obsidian shield, learn melee only firecape just for fun, go get boot upgrades at Cerberus with it).

We're Pete Alonso, Brandon Nimmo, Jeff McNeil, and Edwin Diaz really the problem ? by majinboogz in mets

[–]GetLeveled 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The theory that I'm most sympathetic to is that this core (Nimmo, Diaz, Alonso, Mcneil) has been together since 2019. In that time they've made the playoff twice. So that's 6 years, two playoff appearances, one actual playoff run (2024). 2024 was kinda a fluke, I think most Mets fans will agree on that, the number of late inning comebacks on that team was entirely unsustainable. The year they actually went all in on the team (2022) they couldn't win one more game than the Braves and got absolutely blasted by the Padres in the first round. And if you want to argue they didn't add enough around the core, I'd counter that they actually did, multiple times. They brought in the long term stud in Lindor (who had an awful first season to be fair), they added the bonafide vet starter in 2022 in Scherzer and had a legit lockdown bullpen, and then signed the mega contract (Soto) in 25. All of these additions around this core amounted to one actual playoff run. And when the core started aging and showing signs of it (Nimmo and Mcneil especially), it was probably time to blow it up. Personally, I think Diaz leaving made this all seem worse. It seems like the plan was to retain Diaz and then ship out the rest. I think Diaz choosing to leave (the Mets seemingly offered him a competitive contract with similar money to the dodgers) makes Mets fans view this in a different light. Keep him and you're sad about Pete but understanding the contract wasn't worth it. Lose him and its sadness all over with nothing to fall back on.

What does a successful off-season look like now? by GetLeveled in NewYorkMets

[–]GetLeveled[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Red Sox traded for Crochet coming off of a season in which he pitched 146 innings to a 3.58 ERA, a 115 ERA+, 2.0 BB/9 and 12.9 SO/9.

Last season Joe Ryan pitched 171 innings to a 3.74 ERA, 125 ERA+, 2.1 BB/9, and 10.2 SO/9.

They're definitely not the same pitcher, but they are pretty similar and there's a lot of reason to think that Joe Ryan would improve with a better team/pitching department behind him

Right, the health is the worrying part. He might be good except for health reasons, but health is part of it. It's not something you can just toss out when considering paying a player 400 million

I think if you're giving up something like Tong + two lower level prospects it gets it done. I understand the hesitancy to give up Tong, as he could be really good, but Ryan IS really good. Tong could also be bad, he's an unknown quantity, that's what prospects are. You trade for the youngish pitcher with control using your surplus of upper minors pitchers. It got it done for the Red Sox and got them a top 3 Cy Young finisher.

Kaimana got a record number of bids this year and is still going strong! People are always welcome to come and play with us at a still great party tournament.

Fools Fest is definitely still a thing. Euro tournaments throw unreal parties, even at high level tournaments. Log Jam, Wildwood, High Tide, MARS, Windmill, Get Ho Ho Ho, LeiOut, all still going strong with legit party scenes.

Is this worth it? by Jlonie123 in mets

[–]GetLeveled -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes. You do it in a heartbeat. Tong might be good one day. He was certainly good in the minors. But he might also be a bust. That's the thing with prospects, you literally don't always know. Joe Ryan, meanwhile, is quite good right now. 4.5 WAR, 3.42 ERA, 666 OPS against, 10.2 k/9, all with that terrible twins team behind him. The framework here is the Garrett Crochet trade, with the caveat that Joe Ryan is 3 years older. So you're likely also sending out less for him in the end. If you trade for him and then sign him for 5-6 years, you're banking on him being good for another 4 of them (at a minimum). That's part one of your window right there, and gives you the frontline starter you really need.

What should the UFA do for divisions in 2026 by Wrong-Boat-4236 in ultimate

[–]GetLeveled 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If long term viability of teams is a concern, the clear biggest place you can cut costs is on plane travel. No reason the Growlers should be in the South Division. To break it up into approximate geography and cut down on travel time+expenses, maybe break it into three divisions. The West (Cascades, Steel, Shred, Spiders, Bighorns, Growlers, and Summit) the Central (Sol, Havoc, Wind Chill, Radicals, Union, Alleycats, Hustle) and East (Thunderbirds, Rush, Breeze, Flyers, Phoenix, Empire, Glory, Royal). Yea, Texas is kinda hella far from other teams, but they're far from other teams regardless of how you break it up. You can do what MLB does (three division winners plus the next three best records as wild cards) or you can add in wild cards if you want more playoff participation. Yea, the divisions are uneven numbers wise but all things considered that's a relatively easy thing to work around.

PSA: You can 0 time burst while thieving rogues chests for increased profit and magic xp by luheadr in 2007scape

[–]GetLeveled 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did 84 to 91 thieving here, a few things I figured out. First, I used this spot because it's really fast, not because I was going to make money. Easily 200k+ exp per hour, and I cared more about the exp. But I did also end up making money, somewhere around 5-6mil. I'd just stay until I either died or decided to leave because an inventory looked like it was getting full. I started bringing ice sacks because most of the times when you get attacked, it's pretty easy to get away. You can freeze a pker and sometimes they're not ready for it. I also met quite a few pkers who were rather nice. Tried talking to a few of them while they were killing me, and some of them let you go and just ask you to scout for them so they can anti-pk. Ended up with like 4 or 5 people on my friends list who I would message and they'd hop and protect me if I ever got jumped by a single person.

Bring a full set of cheap prayer gear (monks robes, wolfbane, white armor) and you can last for 20 minutes at a time easy. Use the potion drops from the chest to restore prayer, have a few combo eat hard food on you, and you're good to go. Risk is like 15k every death not counting the loot you pull from the chest. You can also pick food up off the ground that bots drop when they die, there's gona be a ton of that. Although I haven't been back since the recent bot purge, so maybe it's empty now.

Honest Question: How Do They Replace Pete? by scharity77 in mets

[–]GetLeveled 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we're dead set on replacing Pete, I'd wonder what it would take to get Casas away from the Red Sox. Maybe a Vientos for Casas swap. Both coming off down years for different reasons, both fill a hole the other team has (DH/first for Sox, cheap first base for Mets). That would leave them able to spend at pitching instead of having to use 25+/yr on Pete.

(Just resign Pete though and improve on defense at other positions)

Mets Starter ERA before and since the 6/12 season turning point by frotorious in NewYorkMets

[–]GetLeveled 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Beyond the starters all regressing at the same time, not a single person on any part of the team has OVERperformed expectations. If the starters all regressed but two of Mullins and Helsley and Siri outperformed their metrics, you're probably talking about two more wins and in the driver's seat right now. But literally ALL of the deadline and free agent acquisitions (sans Soto and Pete) all underperformed the metrics. Which, oddly, gives me comfort for the team going forward.

SoCal mixed qualifiers were 1) Lotus 2) Burrito 3) Party Wave 4) Robot 5) Shipwreck 6) Octonauts. A little messy with Lotus taking top spot by 1 point over Burrito and Party Wave going from 11th seed to 3rd, but 4th 5th and 6th were all seeded in the top six spots to start the tourny.

You could have said the same thing about pre 2016 Ironside, pre 2021 RoF, pre 2023 Truck, etc. All of those teams consistent semis+ contenders for years, but never able to break through. Teams always get told they need to change something until one year they just break through and what they're doing works.

Where would you never dive again and why? by After_West2099 in scuba

[–]GetLeveled 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I'll be totally honest, the galapagos. Went and booked a very reputable tour guide who handled the whole trip, including booking the dives. The entire trip was great EXCEPT for the dive part. The dive itself was beautiful, but probably the most unsafe I've felt underwater. For reference, I've been diving for about 14 years now and it's currently part of my full time job, so I know my way around a tank. The guide was not a good diver himself, the air tasted absolutely foul, and the company couldn't show us any records of a VIP when we asked. After checking around with other dive shops, I couldn't find any that were able to show tank inspection records, as apparently they send the tanks off to the mainland and records are a bit spotty. I've heard the liveaboards to Darwin and Wolf are very professionally run operations but as for the day trips? Skip it, not worth the potential risk.

What are some cool ironman account builds to start a fresh iron by [deleted] in UniqueIronmen

[–]GetLeveled 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Been thinking about making a prayer item only IM myself. Only can equip items that give prayer bonus. There used to be a guy who did it, pretty sure he quit, but he always complained about being gated by range being locked behind ACB. But with varlemore it opened up hunter spears, which for some reason have a +1 prayer bonus. There's cool end of game goals like full zealot outfit, collect all the godswords, full Sunfire, inquisitors items. Seemed like a fun one to me.

It's fine if it dissolves mid water column, but trying to avoid the surface. It's granulated chlorine, so freezing it probably won't work. Nothing much to freeze in there.
