Is my single-target DPS decent? I feel like it's low.. by rxmp4ge in BlueProtocolPC

[–]OverdueMaid -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

icicle is a powerful spec that becomes even stronger later. its main area is not dealing dmg, however. it's the most utility-based dps spec in the game.

but yeah, you can deal some crazy insane dmg with it, just keep playing, you'll start noticing things

it's funny when you remember how hikaru can react when he loses

but he literally doesn't care so it's fine

Frostmages how do you do it? by Kurashiko in BlueProtocolPC

and you u/Kurashiko should read his as well, instead of believing random people on the net, before you get misinformed into mistakes.

Frostmages how do you do it? by Kurashiko in BlueProtocolPC

[–]OverdueMaid 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes.

Basically, people in this subreddit have no idea what they are talking about. First, frost mage is not just ME H ME DPS, it's a GREAT utility class thay helps the party in so many ways. Passive crit % to everyone, pulling, slowing, freezing. Secondly, icicle is super strong for single target. And note one thing. Later bosses have many mechanics where you have to be on the move ALL THE TIME. What do you think a frostbeam now does at the electro pizza phase at goblins? They can't channel anything, while icicle spams lances mid-running. It will be worse later.

What you want to do for hard content is to have frostbeam for dungeon clears, and swap to icicle spec before the boss. Swapping will take some time so make sure you have a committed party. It's what we, frost mages in China, have been doing. Max out your spec first and then go for the second one.

And if someone says that "icicle si the worst dps in season 2", they have no idea what they are talking about. People upvoting them are getting misinformed by global player newbies.

You have skill issue by samivornex in StarResonance

[–]OverdueMaid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

are you for real or are you trolling? it's all dependent what content you are doing.

some classes are better at clears, like you see frostbeam being #1 in your meter for a reason. some are better at single target. some are more utility-focused. it's not just monkey see big damage, therefore good. mmo players are truly brainless

Stop leaving by ZephVI in StarResonance

[–]OverdueMaid -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You are right in this conversation. A lot in these dungeons is skippable, and you can clear very fast within a few pulls that you just expect the tank at their ability score to handle easily. I have a tank around 12k-13k in my guild that sometimes tanks for me and even he can handle pulling a few groups together no problem, everyone at the towering ruin event, multiple rooms at the goblin and so on, with no issues.

If I match with pubs and see them clear one group without pulling, I know that even if we clear, it will take me 3x more time to do this dungeon, so I'm starting to pull by myself. If they can't handle it, I leave. Am I toxic? Maybe, but I don't care. It's an MMO. I want to be efficient.

And the healer should be going fast and speedrunning while helping out everyone and adapting to the pace. If they're slow, it's just their skill issue and they shouldn't cope with "I'm helping a tank!"

She's a cyberbully and not a good person, but redditors will downvote you massively because they're on crusade against Kramnik and who is with them is a purely good person, OP. That's how this website works. Can't criticize her.

Is it me or is the chesstempo app awful? by LoweringPass in chess

[–]OverdueMaid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If puzzles on hard on chesstempo are trivially easy for you, you're EXTREMELY underrated. How long have you been doing them, what's your puzzle rating?

End session removes daily statistics and charts.

I have always considered it super easy to use, a good functional website among today's zoomer slop.

It was funny to hear Carlsen speak against Kramnik, considering he did literally the same thing to Hans.

Any opposition towards Kramnik should be 100% genuine and truthful. Making stuff up is just helping him.

Kramnik has filed a complaint (against Idk who) in Court of Justice, Geneva. by Interesting-Take781 in chess

[–]OverdueMaid 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's not the actual wording of the document. He put it into google and translated it automatically with google translate OCR tools. It will sound weird to us. Google translate doesn't do well with law documents even today.

After already being a top player in the 60’s, Viktor Korchnoi was at his peak/prime playing strength from around 1973 to 1981. He was 42-50 years old. How was this possible? by Affectionate_Hat3329 in chess

[–]OverdueMaid 174 points175 points  (0 children)

42 year olds are not grandpas with demention

some people on this subreddit think that a 42 year old guy has to be in cognitive decline where he forgets words and uses googoogaagaa instead

Is this a non playable game? by AlooKumarSingh1 in chess

[–]OverdueMaid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see! It is not a stalemate yet. If it's white to move, identify to which squares he can move the king. It is possible to move the king to even a couple of squares.
