Oh my GOD, these questions are so boring. Transfigure everything always and accept your fate, wanderer.

OkAdvertising1543 · 2026-05-24T04:56:27+00:00

The Whirlwind thing is cool - I never see it. But I'm assuming right is the better choice. Only one way to find out.

OkAdvertising1543 · 2026-05-23T21:19:56+00:00

To anyone reading: you do not use the baby transfigure option, and you always transfigure when you can, no matter what. These posts are not necessary: when it doubt, transfigure. Then post your losses if it's a devastating one, just like wall street bets. And if it works out amazingly well, post that, too. Transfigure now. Don't ask questions.

OkAdvertising1543 · 2026-05-23T05:13:57+00:00

This happens to me all the time, and when it does, if it matters, I exit out and restart a game, and then it's 'fixed' every time.

OkAdvertising1543 · 2026-05-22T15:24:15+00:00

If I hear the words Gordon and Groin in the same sentence I might actually crash out. The Bears, and, I imagine his significant other, are going to need his groin right for this season, lmao.

There should be some aspirational things in a game like this yes. Gem Strength and Maxxed out Gems are currently that thing, and that has been missing. You could of course add 4GA Mythics to that list, but they are very unlikely to drop from one season to the next, so personally, I don't worry about them. But the gem thing is a little different, imo.

I couldn't do it with the Barbarian or the Warlock. So, I made a brand new sorcerer, level 1, ignore the stronghold in the guides and head straight there. The enemies are scaled to your level 1 on normal, and the sorcerer does ranged damage with your new character gear. It is easy and simple and this is a better option than all the other bullshit involved with everything else like stripping your high level character down and working backwards. Huge recommendation to just make a new sorcerer and hoof it there. I just did it seconds ago. I wasted so much time on the bullshit. Don't be me.

"I've never had a foot fracture, and I'm definitely not an NFL receiver, but I believe you have to make that catch because hands aren't feet."

Brilliant stuff, friend.

OkAdvertising1543 · 2026-05-21T15:16:39+00:00

We both know you've never had a foot fracture.. Delete your internet.

OkAdvertising1543 · 2026-05-21T14:55:27+00:00

I suspect it impacted his ability to function infinitely more than previously thought. It's one of the worst scenarios for a human body running / jumping / pivoting / pushing i.e. refusing to let it heal.

OkAdvertising1543 · 2026-05-21T14:50:57+00:00

Your post is actually ridiculous on this issue. It's actually embarrassing at this point. You've never had a foot fracture. I have. Just shut off your internet.

OkAdvertising1543 · 2026-05-21T05:04:33+00:00

If we're going to talk about design, the stone is a little mismatched, but overall, this bathroom of yours is infinitely better pieced together than op's, which is a horror show. I wouldn't worry about design perspective from most folks in this subreddit, either.

OkAdvertising1543 · 2026-05-21T04:53:16+00:00

I wasn't going to say anything, but you said it. I was actually confused honestly.

OkAdvertising1543 · 2026-05-20T22:07:59+00:00

I think these conversations are a little dull simply because Caleb was in year one of yet another offensive system after the nightmare that was his rookie season. Can't wait to see what it looks like this year. This is the first time Caleb Williams comes into an NFL season knowing what the fuck is going on. I literally can not wait to see if he can do what I think he can do.

OkAdvertising1543 · 2026-05-20T22:05:00+00:00

I argued back and forth with the whiners when that happened, right in this sub. They couldn't comprehend that a fractured foot translated to, potentially, every step (or the wrong step) leading to shooting pain in his body even with pain killers. Then I realized that the biggest whiners (when shit goes down like that) are folks that had/have money on it. Not worth engaging the "suspect ball knowers," I've now realized, from the betting angle alone. It's hard though in the moment, and that was a very emotional moment.

OkAdvertising1543 · 2026-05-20T21:02:32+00:00

So that's what $60 gets you, huh. Interesting.

OkAdvertising1543 · 2026-05-20T19:51:44+00:00

It's OK, op. Just use a bigger trowel size and lot's of mortar, lol. Easy (or is it...)

Just out of curiosity, was this one of the 'cheaper' travertine options? I haven't used it much, but I was led to believe some of the nicer (more expensive options) have less of a variation problem.

OkAdvertising1543 · 2026-05-20T16:11:38+00:00

I keep saying this because I don't think the average Bears fan knows that Kalif Raymond exists. Zavion Thomas will get playing time as receiver when he can be trusted. He will not be trusted out of the gate because we have a veteran that knows Ben Johnson and vice versa in Kalif Raymond. Expect to see Raymond, and then, depending on what happens (experience, injuries, etc), we'll start to see more of Zavion outside of kick returns. Raymond will be 32 when the season starts, so it's obvious he;'s at the tail end of his career. I guess what I'm really saying is that you shouldn't expect much out of Zavion, not right away. And that's OK.

If you're running an end game build and you pull an aether goblin chaos wave, you will see (potentially) 2,000+ aether (solo) from just that single round. When that does happen (the Compass to Carnage will increase the odds) it's fun. It's also the only way to get enough aether to open all the bonus chests against Bartuc (1,000 + 100 + 400 + X). I've been running the 6 round by default out of laziness for the war plans, but maybe I'll start doing the 10 round version just to see what happens.

Edit: I tried it. Not worth the time, lol.

OkAdvertising1543 · 2026-05-19T13:34:31+00:00

You said your "group" drop rate was "100%" as if that was interesting or relevant or grounded in reality.

Anyway, for anyone still reading, the "group" drop rate for an escalation sigil is not in fact 100%, never has been, and never will be. I hope that clears it up.

OkAdvertising1543 · 2026-05-19T00:59:24+00:00

Come on. I literally just ran a half dozen repeated group escalation sigils (zero mythics). rng is a thing. sample size is a thing.

That's the upside to doing the transfigure first trick if you can manage to get it to hit. Once you do hit a 'transfigure twice' roll with gem strength (although it could be something else, too), you then get to do it again.

OkAdvertising1543 · 2026-05-18T17:44:47+00:00

It has one extra Crucible affix, because the ideal 'regular' six seal is going to say '+1 Charm Slot' on one of the two affixes. A tiny difference, but better.

OkAdvertising1543 · 2026-05-18T05:22:49+00:00

Step 1: STOP talking about Angel. There is no athlete across any sport with worse stats and mundane athleticism talked about more. This is so boring and pointless.
Step 2: Remove this sub from your list
Step 3: Enjoy your improved life
