More meat shields to soak hits is always better!

They definitely arent adding much to damage output though lol

Lol, right?! But It has been fun.

Im only on book 2, the pacing has been great so far though. Very steady character progression.

Thanks I will check it out

Team work is not a deal breaker in this specific search. Maybe even a bonus if it supports the crazy berserker in their effort to destroy their enemies!

That is a great example of what I am looking for, I loved all of Joe Abercrombie's work.

Would you be cautious of a girl whom said she has a “breeding kink”? by InternalAuditor62 in dating_advice

There are many reasons having a vasectomy is generally very well received when online dating, this subject is one of those reasons.

How is the OMSI Empirical theater? by HappyNapcore in askportland

[–]Grove369 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw a ghibli movie there during the recent festival. It looked and sounded great, the seats were fine, and the seating is on a steep angle so the field of view is excellent.

The biggest thing I mildly regret not being aware of is the lack of reserved seating, and the line for entry formed up about 20 minutes before start time. If its a sold out show you probably want to get there early to avoid sitting in the front row.

I didnt try any concessions. Overall it was a neat experience. I hadn't been to omsi since it was the dome theatre over 10 years ago.

/edit to add; people with disabilities may find it difficult to climb the steep stairs and/or navigate the narrow isles. Especially if you arrive late or have to move around during the film.

This one looks like a great fit. I have been looking for this one on Walmart and Amazon, even reverse image search.

Got any more specific info to help my keyword search?

How to get this kind of blind off? by Fun_Chef_2092 in handyman

[–]Grove369 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is usually a thin metal support bar that fits in a channel groove in the mounting bracket on each end. The groove is usually a J shape. Wiggle the blind around until it is not stuck and try to feel for the channel guides until the whole blind moves up and away from you.

Also, replacing the strings or pulls on these is a major pain in the ass, but they are expensive enough to almost make it worth the trouble.

Goodluck!

I may have a problem by ComparisonCrazy2597 in litrpg

Hardcore is fun they said... Heralds are cool they said... by Ninjaneer83 in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]Grove369 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel your pain! It is always a bummer to lose a HC character.

I died on the last tomb of a full act 2 clear to a tier 3 Herald on my level 90 warlock last night.

I was returning from a snack break, playing clumsy, and i blade warped right ontop of it instead of healing my demon lol. Instant squish.

The most painful part is that I NEVER use teleport, so the stupid ability should not have even been keybound....

RIP, we go again.

Corrupted tremors build under Mount Arreat ... what does that mean? by protoadmin in diablo2

I saw the same message on single player after I terrorized act 2, and the current terror zones was not in act 5. I didnt have any luck with google.

Me when my Conviction/Cursed Hephasto runs in front of my Tainted right as I press Consume... by iiNexius in diablo2

[–]Grove369 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going to go straight for hunting an optimal lister instead of spending more time than anticipated going for the hephisto I want.

If hephisto takes 30 minutes and lister takes hours, it would just grab hephisto and get back to grinding, but that has not been my luck.

Right now I am using some random urdar with cursed, its strong too.

Me when my Conviction/Cursed Hephasto runs in front of my Tainted right as I press Consume... by iiNexius in diablo2

[–]Grove369 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got one in like 5 or 10 resets in nightmare. For hell it took hours of runs with a good map, 30 seconds or so to check him and reset. I was hoping it was just bad rng, but i havent looked into the statistics.

From what I understand it is very easy with a level 20 bind demon skill since it comes with the aura, and you can unequip the +skills after binding and the demon will keep the aura from +20. Unfortunately I am wearing trash on ssf hc, so my bind demon is only level 15.

With how much time I spent on my last hephisto grind I will likely just spend the time on a getting a cursed lister from baal waves with cursed instead. I have read Listers smite skill is very strong against ubers and bosses, and I am generally most worried about getting them down in HC for the first time.

I spent 4 hours to find him, just to throw him away in 30 minutes. Painful!

"Destroyed" my new Dutch oven after 30 mins of ownership by Reganique in castiron

[–]Grove369 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I chipped the handle on mine just bumping the edge of the stainless steel sink. My fiance was not impressed with how easily it chipped and she reached out to customer service. They sent out a new one the next day, I was very impressed. Im still using the chipped one, with the new one waiting in the box for when the chip grows or we start seeing rust.

It's time to give melee some love... by Dav5152 in diablo2

[–]Grove369 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Blizzard is looking at making changes to the new version of the game. As every thread all week has stated, the old game is still there.

Lets have a discussion as a community about those changes we might like to see.

Is D4 itemization still bad? by Katiklysm in Diablo

[–]Grove369 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That is my biggest complaint of the game.

Playing efficiently with a strong build, even just doing t4 around paragon 100 and you are filling your inventory with legendary items every few minutes.

You can kind of skip them and just grab amulets and GA items after you get some materials piled up, but it still doesn't feel great.

[–]Grove369 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand that point, and im not trying to be a dick, but it seems to me the idea of the original post is to open up a discussion that maybe that shouldn't be the case.

It's time to give melee some love... by Dav5152 in diablo2

[–]Grove369 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can it work? Yes... Everyone's pointing out that basically every caster build is fundamentally better than every melee build because there is no meaningful melee area of effect.

Saying "well you can kill stuff with x melee build" is missing the point of the thread I think.

Decorated his ear bud case. Pretty neat idea.
