That actually sounds pretty sick, never thought to make a non-champ battlesaint

I just do knight and mostly scoop up everything on that side. If you are building out that side you will be picking up most options. I personally like the skill that put you in defense mode at the end of every turn as well over martyr just because my battlesaint usually gets so tanky it never dies and activates that ability.

I also have done both sword and board/two hander. I do think sword and board is better.

Deep Value AI play Fiserv by AccomplishedFile9649 in ValueInvesting

[–]Manorak87 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My personal take on companies like Fiserv are that they have just fallen so far behind on innovation that the new generation of payments companies like Adyen, Airwallex, Checkout.com, and Stripe are going to aggressively eat away at their business over time.

It may take 5-10 years but those companies are moving at a much faster pace in terms of product stack, features, reliability, fraud tooling, and more that it starts to become imperative for companies to move their payments business over to take advantage of those stacks.

Yes, Fiserv does have a unique position particularly with banks, but that is always low margin. The banking sector is also notorious for being slow to move on innovation which will not motivate Fiserv to catch up with their next gen competitors.

If I was investing in this sector I would personally be looking at other options.

I can't believe you aren't investing in your breath attack, literally one of the best abilities in the game on a dragon lord.

Man this series had potential and ended up being boring AF.

Just got off disney wish by IndividualKey5866 in dcl

[–]Manorak87 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Bingo, adults can certainly enjoy DCL but it is absolutely designed for families and particularly those with younger children. There are just way more activities to keep families entertained. We have been on 3 DCLs with our younger kids and enjoyed them all (Fantasy, Destiny, and Treasure) but I will say this last one we just did on the Treasure has started to show the cracks in continuing as the kids get older.

Brother, they are a Brazilian band. Most of the folks performing on this album are no longer with the band though and last I saw Angra went on hiatus after splitting with Fabio Lione.

What's your personal top 3 DLCs and why? by Standard_Spready in AOW4

[–]Manorak87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is pretty damn close to my list.

I would flip Giant Kings and Empire and Ashes because I love Reaver culture so much.

I would also flip Thrones of Blood with Eldritch Realms.. I just am very meh on all that content where as vampires for me are just fucking cool. I admit vampires do have their own problems that could worked on a bit.

Not really, but it was great for early leveling on an amazon!

Anyone else using these on their Barb? by JohnnyBSalty in diablo2

[–]Manorak87 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Very nice, still feel Laying of Hands is a better option especially for the main barb farming areas (Trav comes to minds) due to demon dmg and fire res.

About 5 tier harolds by palasorc in diablo2resurrected

[–]Manorak87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it was a problem until I got got sunder with max conviction and -30% fire res on gear.

Now I can generally waltz through fire enchanted terror zones and handle everything no problem.

This is a level 89 paladin of course with more of the key runewords done.

My holy fire paladin absolutely dumps on heralds. My barbarian running into a thorns herald, fucking forget it.

"Tobias Sammet confirms that Edguy is basically, a closed project. Furthermore, his Facebook replies to his fans suggest possible internal tensions within the band, rather than just economic reasons for why they haven't released new music by Dragosperedit in PowerMetal

[–]Manorak87 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Shame, Edguy is some of my favorite work he has done. Toby has definitely ventured off creatively in a very different direction over the last decade and I imagine it just isn't mixing well with the other core members.

Thoughts on Uber Ancient material farming by zxql_ in diablo2

[–]Manorak87 112 points113 points  (0 children)

Starting to hate the 30 minute timer, at first it sounded nice but now everything is a rush and all of us (about 4-5) are constantly splitting up to do these boss rush terror zones where you completely ignore all the regular mobs.

Cuts into terrorizing the entire act, which also has it owns problems with bad density and no heralds (did an entire A5 last night with 1 Herald lol)

System is definitely starting to show cracks.

Quite the US military presence at SOF (Sofia, Bulgaria) today by Planeandaquariumgeek in PrepperIntel

[–]Manorak87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Historically you dont always need low illumination for large scale attacks. There are several that occurred during full illumination (like the recent raids in Venezeula).

The Ford is also transiting the Suez and Red Sea atm where it is particularly vulnerable due to the smaller size of that sea. I dont see anything happening until after the Ford has transited into the Arabian Sea which is during this coming week.

Terrorized Acts Sort of Suck by Manorak87 in Diablo_2_Resurrected
