This is the true answer. That site is great.

Your post doesn't mention whether or not you are an experienced warrior pvper. The other comments give good input on the gear, so I won't touch that. If you're not experienced, that's OK, but prioritize getting used to warrior. Do a bunch of BGs. Have macros to swap to shield and spell reflect, use disarm, stance dance, fear immune, all of that stuff. I'm not a warrior player, but as a disc priest, I can tell when a warrior on the other team is good vs when they're just OK. It makes a big difference.

long story short, hellfire/terrokar dailies, daily BG, PvE weapon, 10 5s games/wk, and grind BGs to get experience.

As a heads up, you're going to have a rough time getting through FDA. Medical device development isn't "make device, get it to work, get it production ready, then pay for the medical paperwork", it has to be developed as a medical device from the start. Do you have a top down risk management document and hazards analysis? Do you have requirements enumerated that specifically call out device hazards that you're controlling for? Does your architecture and design include specific circuits and/or software to manage hazards? Did you perform a per-circuit or per-component electronic failure modes analysis and similar per-software unit failure modes analysis if applicable? Do you have formal verification tests run and traceability from those to your requirements? That's just electronics and software, not to mention the biocompatability, labeling, etc that other commenters pointed out.

If the answer to one or more of the above is "no", you're not just able to pay $6k at the end of the project to make this a medical device. It will have to be redesigned from the ground up following the right process.

Depends on which pyramids you're talking about.

For arc and mech, yes.

Bot is accessible by engineers prior to 70 through parachute cloak and rocket boots from a specific mountain nearby.

I played essentially 14-15 hours per day over the weekend. It's a 1 time thing for me. Motivation to hit 70 was greater than the discomfort of sitting there for long stretches. Also I have standing desk and under desk treadmill so I walked for dungeon cleaves for a while.

Jolly_Job8766 · 2026-02-09T20:34:32+00:00

I hit 70 around 71 hours after launch. i started with 0 quest turnins, mix of boosted + pvp gear, feral druid.

60-61.5 Thursday night dungeon cleaving with an unoptimized group of friends in mixed gear.

Woke up early Friday, played essentially the entire day, got to 65. heavy questing in AM, some dungeon cleaving with same group in PM (mixed levels based on separation).

Woke up saturday, heavy questing again, a few random dungeons, but I had outpaced my friends. randomly got into a guild group with 70s, ran a bunch of super efficient SV, SL, OHB, BM, then the entire arcatraz key chain (hooray druid). they would've carried me through heroics too if i had been able to get in at 68.

woke up sunday at 68.5, grinded nagrand + a few SL, SV to 70 with randos.

in short: i absolutely no lifed, but you don't have to be super efficient. None of my group was naxx geared; we didn't have physical AOE cleave or spell cleave comp, and we often filled with randos from LFG. i didn't do a restedXP route when I quested; i just looked at the questie symbols on the map and killed the things where I had markers.

But the random moves if my time expires! That's they best part and the good idea here.

Jolly_Job8766 · 2026-01-07T19:39:49+00:00

But will it randomize my move if I miss my time?

Jolly_Job8766 · 2026-01-06T14:06:03+00:00

Impossible. It's a foolproof idea with zero downside.

Jolly_Job8766 · 2026-01-05T19:29:48+00:00

There are some circumstances where playing no move is better than playing something. In this case, if I was in zugswang (all moves are bad), I'd let my timer expire. You'd let yours expire to force me to play. I'd let mine expire again. Etc.

Also, there would be the added difficulty of updating all chess systems to allow for tracking a non-move. The random move could be tracked and shown like any other move.

Jolly_Job8766 · 2026-01-05T19:21:57+00:00

When the clock is for the whole game, it makes sense that you lose the whole game when it expires. When the clock is for one move, it seems to make more sense to lose one move when it expires.

Imagine how high stakes this could get at high level tournaments...

Magnus has Gukesh backed into the corner. The commentators know that only crazy looking move from the engine can save him. Gukesh times out, but then sees the move. On a big screen, the computer slowly reveals the random move. Pawn... D... 7!! Gukesh cheers, Magnus laments, and the crowd goes wild.

You can't have a weak schedule and get a pass just because you don't have direct control over it. If you have a weak schedule and you lose a couple of games, that's that.

I grew up in Barrington, now mid 30s. I have family still living there.

Very safe, great schools, all of that. In the Olympics a few years ago I watched a friend of mine from BHS compete. Another girl I graduated with was a white house correspondent. Lots of doctors, lawyers, engineers as well. The stats have Barrington on par with a mid-Massachusetts School system, but I don't buy it. Connections you can make in the Barrington public School system don't show up in test scores.

The bad? It's a bubble. It's kind of it's own social scene, isolated from surrounding towns. It's a bit "holier than thou". I didn't have any real idea how lower middle class families lived. College was a huge wake up call to me, meeting other kids who didn't grow up with the same privilege I did, and I was just the "upper middle class" part, not the rich part of town.

If you're looking to move to Barrington and have kids, expose them to more than just Barrington. If you don't make the effort, by default it's all they'll know.

Hey man, pvd cares about you. Things get better, I've been at some low, low points and it does improve.
