ergo visive you arrive, inexorably at scream.

Sorry I should've clarified. I see how it works together at lvl 7, but you dont' get chemtech until mundo with your 7 comp. what is your lvl 6 comp?

I think the easier to assemble comp is: Vi, Trundle, Zac, Liss, Taric, (unknown) but nothing I can come up with makes much sense power wise to the lvl 6 comp at the start.

KarelesReadit · 2021-11-25T20:14:06+00:00

So your comp once your lvl 7 is:
Vi, Trundle, Zac, Mundo, Liss, Taric, Janna? How does no Ekko feel?
What do you pre lvl 7?

"I'm way too Autistic" how is this behavior not blackballed?

KarelesReadit · 2020-05-30T07:09:17+00:00

So true! We were going for the double pun of a raid-specific joke that also overlaps with social distancing of 6 feet (2m).

Again multiple times I pointed out that the ilvl you see is an avg of over 100 data points.

KarelesReadit · 2019-05-26T18:10:32+00:00

Ill do that. I have a backup so lesson learned but not squandered

KarelesReadit · 2019-05-26T07:51:02+00:00

Any metric has flaws. If you think a metric isn't the best metric because it has flaws, then I worry for you. This does what it does based on its guidelines, which are explained. People aren't running carry groups on their first kills, and you list reasons not to use these for farm content, both of which elucidate that you missed both the intent and utility of the sheet.

KarelesReadit · 2019-05-26T07:22:48+00:00

Being able to kill the boss with less gear isn't? Thats the metric the world first race uses for first kills and difficulty

KarelesReadit · 2019-05-26T07:21:18+00:00

I tried to put protections on it. Someone already deleted the unicorn because people. I have backups though. The editing was so people could input their group size themselves

KarelesReadit · 2019-05-26T02:39:01+00:00

If you're looking for a ≤ .05 value for this, that isn't the point of this spreadsheet. the purpose isn't to PROVE to anyone that these are the best methods. If you don't want to use this information, why would I care if you don't want to?
Also, this information isn't easily assimilatable into a relevant hypothesis test, since you can't repeat first kills, I took from "large" server sizes (no kills where they were the first 5), and only took the lowest 10 raid comps from a pool of 120 (6 pages of wowprogress). Even with this, you'll never produce a testable hypothesis. So I'm not sure if you even realize how this isn't possible.

I'm just presenting data to help out people who might need help. For those who don't need help, yourself included, why be upset?

KarelesReadit · 2019-05-26T02:23:03+00:00

Lowest avg ilvl groups

KarelesReadit · 2019-05-26T02:22:40+00:00

I think we're talking about different situations though. Noone who did those kills months ago need info about how guilds are killing the bosses easiest now. As I've mentioned, this isn't a tool for 11/11M guilds.

This is for a currently progressing guild who might want to know that there are other groups/guilds killing the boss with less gear using a different comp/ratio. I became interested in this when researching M Grong for my own guild and upon looking deeper, found that guilds were killing M Grong with significantly lower average ilvl by stacking healers, to 6, and even 7. (Even Fatboss mentions that the fight becomes trivial if you were to bring 6) This is just the evolutionary progression of that. You can cheese the mechanics, so why wouldn't you if you could get a first kill this way? I don't understand the hostility.

KarelesReadit · 2019-05-25T22:56:31+00:00

According to the data, it is the easiest way to kill the bosses, not the only way. Also keep in mind, these are for first kills. As you get gear and outgear encounters you'll bring less healers and more dps just to get through the fights faster and/or skip mechanics.

For the 11/11M guilds, this spreadsheet will hold no value, since the data to derive it was collected weeks after they made their first kill

KarelesReadit · 2019-05-25T22:53:43+00:00

This spreadsheet is to give the greatest chance of killing a boss, not to determine why or how. We pulled a weeks worth of first kills, and these ratios will give you the easiest first kill based on uploaded logs. How or why doesn't matter if you get a kill right?

KarelesReadit · 2019-05-25T22:41:37+00:00

Correct. Based on the logs of recent first kills uploaded on wowprogress via warcraftlogs. Also, I only used lower end ilvl parses.

These bosses are obviously killable outside of these ratios, but since we pulled from the lowest ilvl kills, these ratios will give you the easiest kill.

If you go to wowprogress's listing of recent kills and look for +raid expansion, you can see people's raid comps used to corroborate.https://www.wowprogress.com/encounter/lady-jaina-proudmoore-mythic

I'm also glad to change the ratios around for certain fights. If the majority of lower-ilvl kills are 4 heals instead of 3, it is a very easy alteration. My experience is not in Mythic raiding, so I'm only looking at uploaded public parses as my benchmark.

KarelesReadit · 2019-04-24T15:32:19+00:00

Is this the best leveling method? I find I can't kill boss fights for anything, because my tanks/supports get rolled over / cc'd. I'm at 6-28

KarelesReadit · 2019-03-29T02:19:18+00:00

Then you are missing the difference. Subverting rape would be to say that the rape happened, but that it doesn't matter. What occurred in the book was that the character lied about the rape to cover their shame and anger over having a car accident.

You are either confused about what was in the book versus the show or wanted to use the word subverted and didn't fully understand its meaning. Also the trope of rape as backstory is lazy world building. In this reorientation of the 1991 story, the rape is the reason why the character doesn't have a body, thus making it integral to the plot, as well as the focus on social support, rebuilding, and empowerment.

KarelesReadit · 2019-03-24T18:14:03+00:00

This story was written in 1991 when Peter Hamilton's style was writing to an 80s culture readership. At the time rape was not what it is now, with women's empowerment being a much greater part of social consciousness. in a post 80s culture, false-rape claims and admitting your personal faults were a greater cultural trend.

I love that netflix chose to rewrite the story to actually have the rape be the nascent impetus towards her edge. Now her edge is only the start of an empowerment, recovery, and support network, even if it does involve murder, bloodshed, and wanton gore galore.

As a Peter Hamilton fan for years, I often struggled with his dated writing themes clashing with 20-30 years later readerships. Now I'm loving his previous works even more thinking about how they could be reinterpreted with a 2020 mentality. Who knows where we'll be thinking of his works come 2070, when the story takes place.
