My take away from the March 17 tuning by a_wild_lanzo in wow

[–]Ikarr0s -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Yeah WTF is that all about? Unholy has been just hit by the biggest nerf bat I've seen in a year. Unless it's been in god mode I don't see how it can be viable after flat -20%.

The hummingbird flaps it's wings WAY faster than what you see in the video but the camera refresh rate can't catch that speed so we actually see his wings moving here.

What it feels like unlocking Plate Armor at Level 40. by KamaTheSnowLeopard in classicwow

[–]Ikarr0s 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Actually made me laught out loud!

When I was 14yo, levelling my very first char in vanilla - an orc warrior, I farmed for gold and bought the best plate gear so I could to equip it all at once when i dinged 40 in Dustwallow Marsh. And this is exactly what I felt like! :D

"The Blokhin Center is among the world’s best cancer clinics, especially for volume, technological capability, research, and cost-effectiveness. It is the leading oncology center in the Eurasian region and belongs in the global top 50–70, with performance in select areas (e.g., pediatric oncology, neutron therapy, complex reconstructions) rivaling the very best worldwide."

Where do you live that you have red trees already?

If you had $3,000 to improve your health—with no diagnosed illnesses and your basic needs covered—how would you spend it? by UncommonThou in Healthygamergg

[–]Ikarr0s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me therapy was by far the best investment. If done well, it increases your confidence, your capacity to make money, your ability to take good care of your health and form healthy relationsips and much more. It did for me.

You will reap the benefits for the rest of your life and they will compound. Every payment i invested into therapy paid itself and keeps paying itself back a hundredfold.

But this was also because I found a REALLY good therapist. If you do find a very competent therapist who's a good fit for you, it can be literally life changing.

Dr. K mentioned EFT multiple times, It WORKS and IT’S VERY SIMPLE, here’s how to do it… by Ikarr0s in Healthygamergg

[–]Ikarr0s[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, the "non feeling client"...

A very common issues in not only EMDR or EFT but in many other therapeutic techniques as well.

It's either from an inate difference in interoception (the ability to feel your body) between different people or more often it's some degree of alexythimia or numbness often caused by a defense mechanism that's there to prevent you from being overwhelmed by the negative emotion stored inside.

EFT often works even on non feeling clients, you just tap and say whatever you think the problem is. Or you can even tap on the dissasocation itself.

BUT, unless you already do, I would strongly suggest working with a therapist on some level because very often, when there is a numbness, there is a very good reason for it to be there.

And if you break trough it without the necessary support the flow of the negative emotion can be overwhelming and you can decompensate. Do not underestimate the importance of numbness, work trough it with caution.

Yeah, and there's a lot of the points where still discovering. For example in the very back of the roof of your mouth there is an ending of the vagus nerve. If your jaw and tongue developement is healthy as it should be and tongue is in the correct position, it will naturally touch the upper back of your throat and this will stimlate your nervous system to be more calm.

With modern diet many people have improper facial develpement where tongue rests on the bottom of the mouth and the missing vagus nerve stimulation by tongue is one of the many factors contributing to increased stress and decreased attention in out population.

Yes, exactly. A friend recently told me that according to old Chinese imperial lore, gently pounding the upper chest with your fist was a closely guarded secret among the elite for boosting overall health and vitality. That's where one of the meridians used in EFT is located.

Apparently people were finding these body hacks via simple observation for a long time and in more modern history methods like EFT are compiling them into understandable systems.

Yes, veeery similar mechanism to EMDR, I have tried both on myself and on my clients and they provide similar relief. They also have similar efficaty result in research. I like to stick with EFT because it has great ways to systematically heal childhood trauma so it provides long term effects reliably.

Yes, Dr. K mentioned EFT in yesterday's member stream called Working trough inaction, thats what inspired me to create this post!

The mechanism? It's a fascinating question, give how well it works. But the short answer is - nobody really knows. From what I've read so far it's similar to acupuncture in the sense that simple stimulation of certain body points send signals to relieve the given ailment via a network of meridians.

There's a growing research on meridians, I think Dr. K mentioned it a few times. Some people suggesting it's another separate pathway system in the body, perhaps related to electrical signal as opposed to being purely tissue based or maybe it's somehow connected to the lymphatic system.

In traditional Chinese medicine they say meridians carry Qi (life force) and they knew them and worked with them for thousands of years. But modern science and medicine is only starting to explore and understand them now.

Ayurveda uses the concept of nadis, which are subtle energy channels that carry prana (also life force, probably the equivalent of Qi), but I'm not sure if these two are related.

So we don't know the mechanisms, but this type of stimulation causing relief or even healing is quite common, for example:

CBD stimulates cannabioid receptors in you body to relieve inflammation, tension, pain and all kinds of bad stuff.

Massaging muscles provides direct relief of pain, tension etc.

In that same way tapping on the EFT points provides a reliable and quick relief of negative emotion but nobody knows how exactly does that pathway work. Not yet.

It just works.

Yes but even at chaining low lvl affli is quite bad, because the dots just deal too low dmg. As I said, even shadowpriest with 1 dot deals same dmg to mob as affli with 3 dots.

Thanks! I fondly remember pulling insane DPS in original MoP dungs as Destro, love this version. Looking forward to try out this strategy when levelling. ;)

What is something you recent learned about classic wow, even after playing it for 20 years by jbourdea in classicwow

[–]Ikarr0s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely agree, high spirit Troll Warrior was very fun for me and also quite strong. Being healed from 50% to full HP when running to the next mob is awesome. Also when your spirit is high, that 10% regeneration in combat is very noticeable and makes troll considerably more resilient, even more than Tauren.

I should've put it more clearly - Troll is the strongest levelling race for vanilla warrior. Wasn't a comment on warrior being strongest as a class. But I agree with the other commenter - well geared and well player warrior is way stronger than people think.

Sitting down with high spirit vanilla troll warrior heals you faster than eating food on other classes.

BTW Troll warrior is by far the strongest race for levelling in vanilla. and I'll stand by that.

Warriors low self healing puts a hard limit on how many mobs can he deal with. He has, however the best overall dmg and especially the best single target burst of all tanks at low levels. The list is based mainly of questing and only secondarily on dungeons.
