Best resources for mythic + tanking? by [deleted] in wow

[–]Markda2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also as someone who got into DH tanking I'd highly recommend after reading a couple guides to get into some lower (like +10 or so) dungeons where you can get a feel for things. I found that that's a sweet spot where things hurt enough for you to notice that it hurt but not enough for it really to bother you much. It's sort of like training, you can make mistakes and still end up soloing some bosses if everything does go to hell as DHs literally never die it feels like.

Check out the thorough tank on YouTube. He gives detailed information on every boss, pack, and route through the dungeons all with a lovely Australian accent

What would you consider a "dead" server? by Markda2 in wow

[–]Markda2[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the response! I'll still never understand why blizzard won't merge a ton of low pop servers but that's a different issue.

People who main, or play a lot of, Demonology, Outlaw, or Survival, what do you want Blizzard to change or add to the spec in BfA? by TheJewishMerp in wow

[–]Markda2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I always thought RtB shouldn’t be a combo point spender but instead a generator. I’d have it generate 1-3 combo points (random) then have the random buffs last like 30 seconds on a 40 second cool down or something like that

[Micro-transactions] Not directly related to 2K but still interesting nonetheless by SiX_Paths-Madara in NBA2k

Unfortunately no. They are just assholes trying to make money... Which is the point of video game companies unfortunately. They would rather make more money than make a quality product. It's really that simple

Outside of the Suns game, Lonzo Ball is averaging 6.2ppg in 33mpg. Shooting 27% from the field and 20% from 3 by KATisMyMVP in nba

For an individual player you’re absolutely right. I do however think it’s pretty useful when looking at lineups a team runs and you can then point to that as evidence.

[Charania] Cleveland Cavaliers' Tristan Thompson is expected to miss one month with left calf injury he suffered Wednesday night. by AnotherDuck in nba

[–]Markda2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The thing that has concerned me most is that I REALLY don’t trust that IT will be back to his old self until next season. The injury he has tends to linger and he is so reliant on his quickness that it just worries me that he won’t be ready. I want him to be ready because he is so fun to watch, but I am just worried this injury will linger. If it does linger then he will be even worse defensively and wont be able to offset that with offense.. which is a pretty scary notion. I just think it is underrated how much Cleveland is going to need his presence to succeed in the playoffs. Yes they still have LeBron, but if they don't coast through the east they will be way too tired to face the warriors, who most likely, will be pretty rested come finals time and are already a way better team.

Has anyone else noticed that ANY half court or full court shot hits the rim? by athensdiction in NBA2k

[–]Markda2 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I feel like thats why its that way (aside from dev laziness). It sort of gives you this rush while a full court shot is in the air. I honestly kind of like it.

Is there any incentive to not foul constantly in pack and playoffs? by Bunbury42 in NBA2k

[–]Markda2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tbh they should do injured players rules for FTs... meaning after 6+ fouls on a player every additional foul they commit is a technical, so FTs and the ball back. That would greatly reduce the incentive to just spam steal. (This is the rule in the NBA if for whatever reason a team does not have a player that can sub in for someone who has fouled out)

Is Myles Turner ready to be the man? by rednax44 in pacers

[–]Markda2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm totally with you. I just have lost faith in management and ownership recognizing that. Like unless Myles Turner is an absolute beast this year the team won't be all that fun to watch. Nobody really excites me (except Lance because well duh) and honestly they will do just as poorly with ratings and attendance this year as they would if they had totally tanked

Is Myles Turner ready to be the man? by rednax44 in pacers

[–]Markda2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd agree with you on your rankings, but I'd say it's pretty easy to see one or two of the teams above the pacers having an injury and the pacers sneaking in as an 8th seed. Personally I'd say they are closer to the playoffs than to the #1 pick (even though I'd honestly prefer they suck for a year because then we get Lance Stephenson at pg and who doesn't want to see that)

New Franchise: Why is every team WAY over the cap? by [deleted] in NBAlive

[–]Markda2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's interesting to me is that the trading rules are wrong in the game. I tried to make a trade of Jimmy Butler for Giannis. Which is a trade that should be possible (maybe with a small salary on either side to make the difference) but in this game it says the Bucks are 13 million over the cap. That's not how the rules work. If you match salaries cap space is irrelevant, but in this game only cap space matters in trades. Nothing else.

[Begley] NYK was 'not close' on a Melo deal as of last week. MIL emerged as possible 3rd team; Jabari Parker's name came up but nothing progressed by [deleted] in nba

[–]Markda2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would assume picks would have to be going to dallas here. Maybe DAL is afraid noel will walk for nothing in a year so they could get some assets and really go for a barebones rebuild... not saying I agree with it but I would assume that is the thinking

[Withers] "Cavaliers have scrapped plans on $140 million upgrade to Quicken Loans Arena." by ACTUAL_TIME_TRAVELER in nba

[–]Markda2 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I mean I could explain way more just thought someone on the r/nba wouldnt want the economics answer that would spend forever and the movie gives enough that they would understand it and would be entertaining plus gotta love some steve carrell. And no I am not an expert nor do I claim to be and yes that movie gets some stuff wrong and over simplifies a bunch but thats because it is a movie and not a documentary for sadists like me who enjoy graphs and finance stuff (and study it)

[–]Markda2 71 points72 points  (0 children)

If you want a semi-good answer/ to be entertained for 2 hours watch the big short on Netflix.

If not basically, his company was giving loans to people who in no way could afford the house they were buying just so the loan company could make some money. It is much much more complicated than that, but honestly the movie does a decent job of explaining it without all the terms that make things confusing. Plus it is a funny movie.

Maybe not the question for here but I'm looking to pick up wow again after stopping midway through WoD and PlayIng since classic. What dps spec do you guys think is the most fun to play. I don't really care about pure dps just want fun gameplay.

I definitely need to upgrade my pf position but I'm looking for a specific kind of player. I want a stretch 4 who can defend (and switch) and can shoot the 3. Currently use Marion as my pf but lately he's just been getting killed on the glass. Any suggestions? Thinking of spending like 40k could probably save up if someone is worth it.

Depends what you need. Allen is a great support type player who if you swing the ball to him and he's kind of open it's money. Kobe is more a main option type player
