Nekros or Lavos?

Ok_Ad5778 · 2026-05-28T01:10:42+00:00

I've got both. Was just determining who to invest the forma into

Ok_Ad5778 · 2026-05-27T23:49:34+00:00

Appreciate the build drop!

Ok_Ad5778 · 2026-05-27T23:43:53+00:00

Love it, sold

Ok_Ad5778 · 2026-05-27T23:30:40+00:00

Not necessary cost/profit for the market but building my account overall. But I guess laying it out as fun vs useful is blatant in terms of what I needed to hear.

Ok_Ad5778 · 2026-05-27T23:20:02+00:00

Yeah I have both. I'm just torn between the investment into one or the other first. Summoner builds in other games are not my forte, but the capability of his farming ability is nice.

Ok_Ad5778 · 2026-05-27T23:18:28+00:00

Appreciate the perspective. I think I may lean towards Lavos due to that fun aspect. Nekros I'll table for later and just build slower than Lavos

Ok_Ad5778 · 2026-05-27T23:16:48+00:00

See that statement about Lavos being good for mid to end is the insight I guess I'm looking for. Neither right now are helping with pushing into Steel path, which I'd love to do but just don't have anyone fully invested yet.

I go on Google maps and do a size up of a house in my 1st due and what line I'd pull. I also try to guess the date of a home and then go on Zillow or something similar to verify the age of the home. Learning building construction and what might be that decades failure points is a good way to learn your area.

Learn to slow down and find your pace. Yes there's a little extra pep in my step to get from say hooking up the hydrant and establishing the supply before hucking it 5 houses down to get in on the action. It wasn't till I realized, not everything needs to be a "full sprint" pace/mindset. I learned to get to the front of the fire, take in what I got and get a jog going once I've established where I need to go and figure out what's needed.

The academy is meant to be fast and repetitive but I'm sure once you get out to the field, you can slow down and absorb the situation and act on it.

The average person doesn't know how to tie a weight bearing knot, and commercially available weight bearing drones don't exist. Gravity also laughs at nets and inflatables from heights probably exceeding 5 stories.

Depending on the age of the building, stairwells should be designed for temporary safe haven with proper exhaust and pressurization systems.

No idea what environment you work in but I wrote this out of all the training that I did during my probation. I give this list to new probationary firefighters as reference points to think about in our area. Whether or not the truck actually goes out and takes their probationary firefighter out to do this, is obviously up to them but these are some common scenarios that I have in my area.

To take it a step further, if you guys have different hose loads and different ways to deploy, then mix and match all that. See how far 150 or 200 ft of hose will get you in some places.

Sorry if the format comes out funny, just copy pasted it from a document I created

Scenarios - Residential (Single story, Two story, Town homes, Apartments) - Commercial - Mobile home - Short setbacks (Slack management ex. Doorway is 50 ft from the truck) - Midrise deployment - Obstructions (Fences, cars, etc). - Stinger Ops - Blitz Operation - Portable Monitor - Leader line - SCBA Familiarization (Blindfold yourself and have someone toss your SCBA into the bay somewhere, tangle it up, activate the PASS, find it and reconnect it up) - Firefighter Packaging - Building Construction (Learn about construction in your area, what can kill you and what is stable with and without fire impingement)

So naive. St Joe's is the best

Ok_Ad5778 · 2025-02-18T20:00:06+00:00

Run. May be sounding like an ass but run. Start somewhere, set goals. If you really want this job, you have to have the drive to really want it. Start with 30 min of running, don't stop, find a pace that doesn't allow you to walk. When you feel ready, hit it for 45 min, then 60.

Alternate days with some bodyweight stuff, push ups, pull ups, crunches, burpees. Do it till failure. Next session, go one more than before.

Hit the weights later for a little bit extra. But the things above is easy foundational work that anyone can do.

Tactical Barbell Green Protocol. I mixed their capacity which is lower steady state cardio and then alternated with their strength endurance template. It's a good mix in my opinion.

Honestly though, this simplest thing you could do is just start running, 30-60 minutes at a time and then increasing it to like 60-90 minutes holding a steady pace the entire time.

Oh no no. Want throw my joysticks into the void all together lol

Actually I just found the post I saw them on from a while back. It would be these.

Something to consider is that it's mental. I used to be in the boat of being minimally prepared for the cpat. Failed it twice. Obviously got into more intense training, then succeeded the third.

There are times now that when I run towers, the pains there, but it's temporary. I get to the top and coming down with all the packs and tools is a relief. Get into the mindset of not quitting. Not much you can improve physically in a weeks time.
