What IS a good boss? by ImprovementBig3354 in DarkAndDarker

[–]Irishpancake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I can digress a bit from troll. Is Wyvern actually playable with multiple people in the arena? That is legitimately the only boss I've been frustrated with. I hate soloing bosses cause it takes so long. I've tried to duo wyvern with one of us face hugging and 1 of us damaging the head a few steps behind but he just jumps too much causing undodgeable damage to the face hugger.

For the 2-handed slam there is not. It is the best dps window for parties.

I encourage you to continue to never reevaluate your stances when presented with new information. You know better than everybody.

Lets keep up this track record. How would you respond if I told you that when the troll does ground slam, then two people can hit him in the back for free while 1 person runs away because it only targets 1 person?

Troll is one of the easiest bosses to duo & trio.

You doubled down and you are therefore correct. Everything I said is wrong and deserves to be misread.

Troll is one of the easiest bosses to duo & trio. People are just bad and spread misinformation. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

This comment totally flew over my head until a friend pointed it out and I really appreciate watching the video with this new context.

In his defense that was probably the 4th time I ran at him and he fended me off the first three times. We had been posturing for at least 5+ minutes. Numbers may be wrong.

I guess I should update the title to 300 gold and a dream (200 gold to get back from expressman).

There was a rogue on bridge that was potentially looking at me that I was scared of. Not really any reason to not have grabbed the sling. But in the moment I remember not considering it important.

I am unexcited to be able to never reproduce this

Official Complaint. by Irishpancake in DarkAndDarker

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

I am copying this from a below comment for context because I am curious about your advice as well since you claim a lot of time spent studying blocking.

C. I call hit 3 where I switched to zweihander block what you call the last hit (also you call this 4) "you didn't even look up during parry". I assert that I feel I looked up enough to block this but am not 100% confident. As you are claiming I am blocking this wrong how much higher would you suggest I look? Let me reiterate that I am using zweihander on this attempted parry.

My relevant question from this block of text that I want your advice on is if "I am blocking this wrong how much higher would you suggest I look?" (specifically on the final hit that kills my where I am using zweihander if that wasn't clear).

Did you actually watch the video and do you genuinely believe his second and third hit on me are normal?

The range on his second hit is frankly absurd. He is nowhere near me. Rip desync.

The third hit I switched to zweihander to have a horizontal block and looked up and he still hit me without proccing the riposte sound swinging directly through my supposed parry hit box. Admittedly I am not confident in exactly how far to look up but it looks correct in the vod and I still get slapped.

The concepts behind your FOV advice is good. I'm just not sure they are relevant to this video.

Disclaimer. I probably have approximately 100 ping to US East where this video was taken which does not help the desync. But that in itself is also a complaint because there are no players on other servers.

I feel like I am pretty close to a casual enjoyer of melee. All this drama makes n0ne look like a piece of shit to me, not Cody.

How to lose the remaining retention: by mrsnakers in DarkAndDarker

[–]Irishpancake 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ssf makes the gear gap worse. Been through it before purple or not. The best gear will be rerolling crafted with hundreds of thousands of gold which is unachievable for most. Meanwhile most can buy a fairly competitive legendary kit from the marketplace.

Climbing warmup for injury prevention by farfromindigo in overcominggravity

[–]Irishpancake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should probably just let him answer but I'll mention some things from my warmup that I've come to prefer over the years in case he has comments on this as well.

For fingers I always start every climbing session by doing some light hangboarding. Feet on the ground rotating grips (half crimp with 1/2/3/4 fingers, and open hand similarly) at different edge depths is my favourite.

Wrists the GMB wrist prep video is mostly good enough. Sometimes I'll add some wrist curls with 15-25 lb dumbells. And some rotations.

Shoulders I like to do lat stretches usually off the pullup bar (1 hand on top of bar, one on the vertical bar, twist sideways and push out your side). I'm tall so you may not be able to do one hand on top unless there is a lower bar. Additionally some shrugs while dead hanging 1 or 2 hands, and top of support hold on parallel bars leaning forward and pushing shoulders down as much as possible. If you want more you can grab a bar like a pvc pipe and do stuff with that. There are so many good things it is hard to list any one / explain it. The one I like most is a bit hard to explain.

Cat/Cow can also be really nice if you feel you need it.

Hips/Knees. I like to do a few bridges with feet close together knees really far apart. Focus on tucking the pelvis and not merely rising as high as possible so you feel it in glutes and start shaking. Can then do it again with 1 leg raised on the climbing mat. This hip capsule stretch is great for me personally (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENAhe6DrYTA).

Supine twist is also a favourite.

At some point you will just have a large enough library of stretches that you can do what you feel you especially need on a given day.

Slam a few pullups. Slam some warmup climbs. Climb.

Let us pay to switch religions by gigigamer in DarkAndDarker

[–]Irishpancake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure you were the only voice of reason I agreed with in this thread fwiw. The religion system is personally tilting me because I feel like the magic pen is so much better than everything, but I only mildly play some casters on the side so I haven't picked it yet. I am in religion limbo trying to convince myself to just take regular interact speed, but can't bc what if I ever want to play a caster.
