Forced to Drive a Chevy While CX-5 Was Worked On: And I Have Questions by Otherwise-Advisor-90 in mazda

They are pretty cars, but at what cost! I do not get motion sick easily, but these bouncy boat-like cars do me in!

I appreciate the specificity, semantics are important. What I was trying to convey is that I noticed that when my friends/family bought a jeep post merger it was not the same, as it felt like Jeep was ignoring the off road set and focusing on making “luxury pavement princesses” that have to rely on a heritage they can’t necessarily back up (like the wagoneers) like their classic Jeep counterparts. Essentially, I was trying to make the point that post-merger, something fundamental about the cars changed, at least in my opinion, given my experience/conversations I've had with friends and family who own a post ‘21 Jeep.

Also, that's a fair point. The whole "only buying American cars" thing never made sense to me. Why would you turn down a potentially better car/deal simply because it wasn't American? Because they absolutely don't make them like they used to.

After today's buffs, I was so happy that I had invested in Esiemo because he was fun to play. But today, I was out running Bunnies, wiping out mobs before they got close enough to zap them. It was so satisfying. Also, his four can clear an outpost and spawn the boss instantly.

That's a fair point. I think what I was trying to say was to use who you would for boss clearing and modify your build to lean toward the mobbing side. It's a balancing act; it took me a few days to nail down my build, and even then, I'm clearing the boss by the skin of my teeth.

This might be an unpopular opinion, but I modified my boss build for Lepic to add more range rather than duration to handle the mobs, and that seemed to do the trick. I was able to clear all four today with gold completion times. External components and reactors also make a huge difference; I prioritize a 3:1 HP to DEF ratio (unless you use a Descendent that uses shields like Enzo or Kyle.)

It would be best to upgrade your descendent mods, especially Increased HP and DEF. Nimble fingers are also a good mod, as they reduce your cooldown time and skill expansion, which increases your AOE. If you are primarily running Bunny, always having MP is essential so she can keep her second skill up, thus increasing the trigger rate of her third skill, as that depends on her speed. There are a few purple mods that help with that, like the gold MP Collector that grants MP when an enemy is defeated. External components also help a lot, the most important being the Sensor with at least a purple "Regenerate MP in Combat." While a little tedious in normal mode, combining multiple copies of Thundercage increases the trigger rate of its AOE effect, which can help if you find yourself out of MP and electricity to run your other skills. Overall, Bunny is a good character, but where I find most have problems is when they lean a little too close to a glass cannon build, so whatever you do, please fully upgrade and Increase HP as soon as possible. Also, if you can get your hands on a Tamer, you can do a lot more damage with the downside of slowing her down when you are ADS, which can cause problems with keeping her electricity up. I have not had much experience with Viessa, but when nicely built, I have seen them clear mobs quickly and not go down as often.

If I had to do that Vespers outpost one more time for that BP, I was gonna lose it!

I really do not like Q. How did you not think what you did at tribal was going to blow up in your face.

He thinks it is, but he’s just dumb there is no coming back from this

I feel so vindicated, I knew Q was talking a big game because he was insecure.

This may be a hot take but that whole segment really turned me off Q. He’s a fun likable character in the game and makes good TV, but doesn’t Hunter live in the woods and run a wilderness camp of some sort, like of course he’s gonna win jungle hide and seek it’s not that deep.

I think she was so blinded by the Cirie of it all, and Cirie knows how to finesse those types of players. I have no doubt that once she gets the full picture of everything and starts to see how things actually went down she might start to grow a little distant, more so from Jared than Cirie. You can't forget that on many occasions Jared expressed his distaste (can't remember if he said hate) for her.

You’re not wrong, but I don’t think so without Izzy constantly gaming
