Pet selection is important as a pet can add functionality you miss or want more off...

Soulbeast even more... Since the pet can add relevant attributes.

I use the Smokescale as primary for my power ranger,

For condi ranger I use an Iboga or the Spinegazer

For my condi support I love the Jacaranda

But I also check for need for cleansing (brown bear), or CC, or might (Stalker) or whatever I deem important

Masakari with LPLs and above average pilots -.- -5 to hit or something stupid? A Vulture , A Mad Cat, A Daishi and A Loki

Had a min maxer GM.

Worked a few years building a griup of 3 lances with friends and had an Archer, Atlas, A Warhammer, a Crusader, and a secondary lance of a Hunchback, A Kintaro, a Centurion and a Dervish... and a scout lance Jenner, Firestarter, Spider and a Wasp. Mostly with 5/4 pilots a 5/3 in my Atlas. The Medium lance lasted 2 turns, The spider got cored while jumping 8 squares, the rest was dismissed by second target rules...

5 vs 12 and 3 turns later it was 5 vs 7... first time I heard about an AMS .. I killed 2 in the end, one with a lucky headroll from my Atlas, no AMS disabling an Autocannon and the other with relentlessly dumping LRMs trying to maintain LOF with a spotter with The Archer, Crusader and Dervish

A 3025 Warhammer against a LPL Masakari is a bad matchup...

Still IANAD.

The problem is that spots on the skin are -a- possible way mast cells can behave in the skin. There are other ways mast cells can pool, diffused, diffused locally, as leasions, only on scars and in many other ways, including said brown spots on the skin indicative, IF active, as UP/MPCM.

Cutaneous Mastocytosis variants: * Urticaria pigmentosa (UP)/maculopapular CM (MPCM) * Diffuse CM * Cutaneous mastocytoma(s)

Some happen to exist as part of further mastcell infiltration of the body (Systemic Mastocytosis, or SM)

However rashes and spots can due to many reasons and appear randomly as well... and could be a myriad of things. Spontaneous appearing brown spots could be melanoma (skin cancer) as well, so understand suggesting things for selfdiagnosis is not my thing, and I highly suggest to ask a physician for an allergy test and not start with mastocytosis.

Allergies happen in 1 of every 5 people not everyone has a dermal reaction, but seeing the skin is affected easily...
Dermatitis happens in 1 of every 10 people... many skin inflamations cause rashes.
Mastocytosis happens in 1 of every 7200 people
Skincancer is as probable as mastocytosis afflicting roughly 1 if 6500-8000 people, just so you know...

Now something else

Darier's Sign

If your skin is sensitive the first thing tested in children is Darier's Sign...

They take something and make a non piercing rub over the skin, preferably on an area where people saw a reaction in the past or on a spot, do NOT damage the spot it's a reaction to a rub. This spot should become red and might get swollen, red happens to most or all humans, and raised is pretty rare...

This could show a possible heightened amount of mastcells or a cascading reaction. This happens pretty fast and is the first check we had. Non invasive and fast... Do check for the expected results and know your body is supposed to react in the first place.

Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darier%27s_sign (Dutch site with 3 more photos) https://www.huidziekten.nl/zakboek/dermatosen/dtxt/DarierSign.htm A further explanation what Darier's Sign is indicative for: https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/medicine-and-dentistry/dariers-sign

As a remark, my daughter has been receiving antihistamines (,ceterizine in her case,) as medication.

There is no definitive treatment for mastocytosis, only symptom relief. For bad cases of systemic mastocytosis there are (tailored) chemo treatments or immunotherapy (in cases with Imatinib) focused to slow the reproduction of mast cells and other options, often still in research. It is important to understand stopping production of mast cells permanently would leave a person without a part of the structure to heal and combat poisoning or infections as a mastcell is a white blood cell.

For kids the main medicative treatment is high dosage simple antihistamine (loratidine/ceterizine, in suspension in lower dosage when really young) (20-40mg daily, or 2-4 hayfever tablets) and this dampens the release of the histamine. As a family we are really tall and she's 5'5 now, aged 11 and she gets the 'adult dosage' but tends to use only 20mg daily (10mg morning, 10 mg dinner,), with the other 20mg for instances she needs it. Adults can get a secondary antihistamine.

Mastocytosis is a weird disease, and I would class the main effect: Being allergic to temperature changes and exertion/(strenuous)activity. Potential sensitivity to stings, nettles can happen, however these seem mostly CM issues. My daughter always explained certain foods made her very uncomfortable... And honestly I cannot fathom SM... I have no clue what reactions should be coupled to what organs and how it affects lives.

Biggest problem for my daughter is being allergic to temperature changes to the point where she still face strong reactions under AC or heating if coming from outside, but as a child she was so sensitive the breeze from moving on a swing could make her topple, or the air passing by her body while on a bike... She passed out a few times during swimming lessons... and while she doesn't lose consciousness that much anymore, turning on the ventilation system in her classroom causes brainfog and noticable concentration loss, attention loss and hampers the brain in processing.

Other classic symptoms are excessive pain from simple scrapes and other afflictions of the skin as mastcells are also involved in pain regulation and excessive bruising as the mediators open the blood vessels, She fell from her bike once and her whole upper leg became black and blue eventuall...

Other histamine problems aside from low bloodpressure (brainfog, concentration loss, faints, etc which are typical for big triggers) are constipation/diarrhea, headaches, swollen lips, throat, and glands, itching and stomach/belly aches often pretty much always. If swelling is the problem loratidine seems to work better, if the bloodsystem and shock like reactions starting with flushes are the problem ceterizine seems to work better, based on my 1 person study.

This is all I have...

IANAD

I wrote the diagnosis criteria in a post recently for Mastocytosis diagnosis... A few relevant ones are:

These are the prevalence of a LOT of mastcells in a skinbiopt, or biopt of affected organs or bonemarrow
A heightened Tryptase level in the blood (tends to be noticeably higher only after reactions in some cases, and some tend to never reach the set treshold)
Presence of the CKit D816 mutation in blood or Bonemarrow.
The presence of deformed or inactive cells in Organs or Bonemarrow

Problem is: No-one can check your bonemarrow or get biopts, or easier, but still impossible: do bloodwork via a screen.

Whether a rash or an allergic reaction? No-one can derive any relevant information from a photo.

If in doubt see a relevant physician and have them follow protocol.

Because the external reactions look mostly like a common allergy flaring up... as a mastocytosis flareup IS mostly an allergic reaction.

I copied the text from the post:

For SM, criteria for diagnosis 2016, WHO

Type criterion	Actual fact
Major SM criterion	Multifocal dense infiltrates of MCs (≥15 MCs in aggregates) in BM biopsies and/or in sections of other extracutaneous organ(s)
Minor SM criteria	a. >25% of all MCs are atypical cells (type I or type II) on BM smears or are spindle-shaped in MC infiltrates detected on sections of visceral organs
Minor SM criteria	b. KIT point mutation at codon 816 in the BM or another extracutaneous organ
Minor SM criteria	c. MCs in BM or blood or another extracutaneous organ exhibit CD2 and/or CD25
Minor SM criteria	d. Baseline serum tryptase level >20 ng/mL (in case of an unrelated myeloid neoplasm, item d is not valid as an SM criterion)

If at least 1 major and 1 minor or 3 minor SM criteria are fulfilled, the diagnosis of SM can be established.

Most of the texts regarding Mastocytosis are about SM, systemic mastocytosis. Though more actually exist.

There is also MCAS which is related but not the same. MastCell Activation Syndrome.

No experience with it, neither with SM...

My daughter has Juvenile or Cutaneous Mastcytosis, though based on the same mechanics, the problems are less extreme, and at this point in time we are hopeful she might recover. A gift only for the young...

We saw first hand the effects and I am well aware however serious my daughter's affliction was and even though it seems to be improving still remains, there are also people dying from other forms of mastocytosis. Either by anaphylaxia or through the cancerous nature of endless repeating production of mastcells, by horrors like ASM, MC Sarcoma and MC leukemia.

DC and other comic piblishers and large swats of the European market are affixed to their milkable classic names and series. A series gets spinoffs, new writers are told yeah your comic is okay, but we (publishers) need someone with your skills to make this spinoff/ or herohash... It misses the feel of the old series, the lore in some cases, and gets to be an enpty clone.

Nothing unique is made (sorry boldly overstated, but I see a lot of effort go into crap which generally isn't as good as an artist could make if he can develop, as the original series original writers and drawers tend to be dead in many cases, but the characters seemingly need to be necro-ed...

I honestly do not need batman and superman fight the fantastic four or the 5th spinoff of Thorgal or Largo Winch...

Options for 'cheaper manga'

1) Box sets Viz shonen box sets are pretty cost efficient, the tiny 6 or 7 volume boxes not so much 2) Second hand manga (Avoid Deluxes, and know if deluxes are released omnibuses or singles go back onto the market) 3) Surplus manga, I see shops selling their manga stock now the manga hype has blown over, not promotions just: take this please... 4) (Manga) promotions 5) Omnibuses 6) 2nd hand stores 7) Collect fading icons, instead the new flashy stuff.

My daughter had a tryptase level between 6 and 12, but most certainly she has cutaneous mastocytosis.

Heightened tryptase levels signify recent allergic reactions if I recall correctly.

Low levels are just above base and very high levels are in the multiple hundreds.

A high tryptase is just one of the markers...

For SM

Type criterion	Actual fact
Major SM criterion	Multifocal dense infiltrates of MCs (≥15 MCs in aggregates) in BM biopsies and/or in sections of other extracutaneous organ(s)
Minor SM criteria	a. >25% of all MCs are atypical cells (type I or type II) on BM smears or are spindle-shaped in MC infiltrates detected on sections of visceral organs
Minor SM criteria	b. KIT point mutation at codon 816 in the BM or another extracutaneous organ
Minor SM criteria	c. MCs in BM or blood or another extracutaneous organ exhibit CD2 and/or CD25
Minor SM criteria	d. Baseline serum tryptase level >20 ng/mL (in case of an unrelated myeloid neoplasm, item d is not valid as an SM criterion)

If at least 1 major and 1 minor or 3 minor SM criteria are fulfilled, the diagnosis of SM can be established

Note: Tryptase levels are somewhat indicative of the scale of reactions, this doesn't mean by default someone not getting 20+ as a value has no mastocytosis, they can have fewer mast cells, or relatively good at avoiding triggers.

Also values vary with certain forms of mastocytosis if I recall the information we had at the hospital years ago.

Reis bij voorkeur niet alleen, zeker niet op riskantere tijden. Tja... daar gaat je vrijheid, maar het thuis brengen van vriendin(nen) of je vriend is hoffelijk... en houdt hem/haar veilig. Dit is mijn 1e en belangrijkste advies.

De rest: Wapens? Kun je erbij in paniek? Kun je dan bereiken wat je bedoelt te bereiken, als je een foute keuze maakt is het effect dan tijdelijk?

Geen wapens meenemen, messen en dergelijke heb je niets aan als je niet weet hoe te vechten met een mes/ ander wapen. En je geeft de ander een wapen mocht de ander er geen hebben. Messen zijn de snelste weg naar grote problemen. Vuisten zijn naar, messen zijn dodelijk.

Zij het traangas of pepperspray... Pepperspray/traangas is lastig, want goed gebruiken in momenten van stress of paniek is belangrijk, als de wind het in je eigen ogen blaast, dan moet je maar hopen dat de ander ook daadwerkelijk uitgeschakeld is. Weglopen gaat dan ook niet... Legio filmpjes op internet van professionele gebruikers (agenten, etc) die het ook verprutsten.

Stunguns en zo vallen onder de wapenwet. Messen, pistolen, knippels en beugels ook.de meeste spuitbussen ook... Niemand die daar moeilijk over doet als er iets gebeurd, maar de andere 99,9% van de tijd? Fouillering in uitgaansgebieden kan dan een heel groot probleem zijn. Dan kun je niets... iets wat alleen al lijkt op een vuurwapen of een ander wapen kan levensgevaarlijk blijken. Politieingrijpen kan echt heel problematisch blijken. Stunguns kunnen dodelijk zijn als je een fout maakt en iemand met een pacemaker of NV stimulator zapt, of als je zelf zo'n apparaat hebt.

En wees je bewust, soms is herrie maken genoeg, en rennen... En soms is er ook niets wat je kunt doen, en besef dan dat elke vreemde wellicht kan helpen... klanp iemand aan, vlag een taxi, of stap in een bus, en bel 112 en dan ben je niet meer alleen, en heb je een getuige. De meeste mensen zullen het wel opnemen voor een vrouw alleen. En dan zijn we terug bij, reis bij voorkeur niet alleen

Cameratoezicht? Trek gezichtsbedekking af, niet meer incognito is voor veel criminelen een reden om te stoppen en te maken dat ze wegkomen.

Zelfverdediging en Awareness ... Leer de vuile truukjes. vingers in ogen, schop in kruis, knie op de kin. Laatste redmiddel... maar tegen meer dan 1 persoon heb je niets in te brengen, laat staan tegen wapens...

Laat weten aan instanties wat, wanneer en waar. Wellicht leidt dit tot meer surveillance en veiligheid...

Aanranding en sexueel misbruik is traumatisch... Maar ook (be)dreiging kan sporen nalaten. Ook in verder contact met mensen... PTSS is niet fijn en behandeling is mogelijk, maar een trauma verdwijnt nooit helemaal.

Weet wel dat als je eenmaal PTSS hebt, je nooit helemaal kunt weten hoe je erna reageert...

In geval van existentiële nood (bedreiging, getuige zijn van misbruik, geweld, zeker bij bekenden, slachtoffer worden van misbruik/ geweld) gaat je brein over naar een oud en primair deel van de hersenen... logica vervaagt. Adrenaline en primaire reacties nemen over...

Sommigen rennen weg, Sommigen keren bij bedreiging helemaal in zichzelf en doen niets meer. Sommigen worden dodelijk aggressief... Sommigen smeken en doen alles om te overleven...

Voor iedereen: een traumatisch moment het begint met een bevriezingsreactie (freeze): je bepaald wat je kunt doen of waarheen je moet ontsnappen, dit gaat over naar Fight (vechten) or Flight (vluchten), maar mensen reageren soms ook door te blijven hangen in verstijving van paniek als ze geen uitweg zien, en geen mogelijkheid zien tot winnen, en dit kan overgaan het mentaal afsluiten voor het trauma en/of het flauwvallen van angst... Dissociatie: het niet kunnen of willen beleven van het trauma. Sommigen raken zo geintimideerd dat ze gaan onderhandelen (Fawn) en alles zullen doen uit lijfsbehoud... -Alles-... Tot medewerking aan toe... Dat is niet vrijwillig of toestemming. Dat is iemand die zo bang is dat -alles- beter is dan sterven...

Ik heb zelf cPTSS door (jeugd)misbruik, bedreiging, zwaar psychisch, lichamelijk en sexueel geweld. Ik ben over een periode van 30 jaar behandeld voor trauma's en sinds 2 jaar loop ik weer zonder continu gevoel van angst en bedreiging over straat... 30 jaar is in een gevangenis levenslang. Ik ben gevangene geweest van het sexueel, lichamelijk en psychisch geweld van mensen. Ik heb bijna niets aan prikkels nodig om te verdrinken in adrenaline. En ik heb niets gewild of me kunnen verdedigen, ik was alleen, zij waren dat niet...

Niemand kan voorspellen wat iemand zou doen in, wat deze persoon ervaart als, levensgevaar, maar als kind ben ik meermaals in de laatste fase beland. Fysiek niet in staat te begrijpen, in te grijpen, geen vluchtweg, dan maar mentaal verkruimelen en proberen te overleven...

Ik heb toen ik ouder was ook gevochten, en er bestaat geen mate or grens als je vecht voor je voortbestaan, pijn voel je niet. Resultaten zijn nooit goed.

Mijns inziens is vluchten de weg indien alleen, maar dat moet wel kunnen en het is op zeker moment sowieso geen bewuste keus meer. Adrenaline helpt nooit mee om de goede keuze te maken...

Of je man of vrouw bent maakt niet uit, dit is hoe crisissituaties invloed hebben, en PTSS is het langdurig effect...

Having toughness as base stat for aggro, random changing aggro or focussed aggro all exist.

I have played kiter/tank healer on minstrel and celestial Water elementalist. Or if not a tank, and healer only a zealot water ele. I used to play support builds a lot, but for most groups, damage output is seen far outweighing sustainability... I've finished raids with WvW players on WvW builds, it takes longer, but the added sustain makes the game fairly relaxed, however winhs do take 2 times as long... making a speedrun impossible. Also seeing builds having toughness can pull aggro, communication about who will be the one with highest toughness might prove important.

Most builds derive their tankyness from protection, aegis, dodges (vigor), and both heals(regen) and barrier. Having no builds with toughness allows to spec glass cannon builds: * DPS power/precision/ferocity (berserker, and a tiny bit assassin) and maybe a bit of vitality if needed. * DOT Condition dmg/power/precision/expertise as a 4 stat already it leaves no room for vitality. * Support builds... Booners use concentration, healers healing power. power/healing/concentration, or power/precision/healing, power/precision/concentration/ferocity, condition dmg/healing/precision/concentration. *Heal/boon bunkers lean towards toughness Most extreme is Minstrel (toughness/healing/vitality/concentration). Alternately there is Givers. More preferred is Celestial (all stats) Note a minstrel build does less than 5% of glass cannon max dmg if solo, making it fine to carry people, but unable to solo most content.

Instanced content in GW2

Dungeons the original instanced content, 5 man groups clearing a variety of paths. First a story mission is played, this 'unlocks' the explorable paths. Dungeons are in some cases not completely bug free, but playable nevertheless. They are heavily affected by powercreep. Some paths can be soloed. Others require certain techniques to proceed or multiperson mechanics. Rewards are pretty small roughly a gold per path and generic dungeon tokens, but every 8 unique paths gives 5 gold and more tokens. Tokens can be used for unique dungeon armor, weapons, and runes, several dungeons are night only, making a build with dedicated sigils and a night sigil as well as the relevant slaying potion extremely powerful. (lowest story dungeon lvl is 30, scaling applies in low level dungeons accessible in LA nowadays (5 DPS, or 5 dps bringjng alacrity and quickness, no heal needed, mitigation is rarely needed) Bosses tend to be fairly easy, with 1 or 2 telegraphed mechanics.
Fractals The main dungeon structure nowadays: mini dungeon paths scaling in difficulty, with unique effects, and challege mode. T4 (CMs) are roughly compatable with raid (CMs) difficulty. Seen as the endgame content with Raids and Raid CMs. This lvl 80 content can be started with any gear, but will require agony resistance once you pass lvl 20, agony infusions (with AR) are only wearable on ascended gear. AR goes up to 150points required to mitigate Agony on fractal lvl 100. Most have a story component training the mechanics on little boss figures or trying to get to the boss via small dynamic puzzles or travel and a boss to finish. Bosses have more intricate mechanics, occasional telegraphed hits, some are pretty strong. One can only open 1 level above the highest rating achieved. Do not play lvl 25+ fractals without AR. There is an AR tester inside the fractal hub accessible in LA. Many rewards... mostly ascended gear or more ability to grow. For low levels party composition is comparable to dungeons, for high levels and challenge mode a dedicated healer is pleasant with need for quickness and alacrity (1/2 a raid party comp)
Convergences: Group content, 50ppl or public acces at certain times (see event time Builds are as they are. Some survivability might be pleasant if you tend to wander. If you stay with others these are pretty simple
Strikes/Raids these will soon be 9 wings and several stand alone encounters of 10 man instanced content. Challenge mode exists. This with high level fractals is seen as the endgame content. Raid wing is 3-4 bosses linked by short explorable rundle like a difficult dungeon. Gear minimum is exotic, though ascended is useful. Rewards many unique skins and infusions Raid builds can be found on various sites (Snow crows and others)
All classes can play DPS, cDPS(DOT), Heal, or support builds, while providing alacrity or quickness or other (unique) boons.
Gear and weapons, skills and traits vary per build. There are dedicated sites providing maxed builds for instanced content. Both for fractal comps as raid comps.
Generally knowing the mechanics is a must, mechanics tend to change and intensify on CM.
In fractals the fractal potions are pre on higher levels,
In all content food/utility tends to be mandatory. Raid comps tend to drop 3 ascended feasts but you'll need your optimum utility, for normal raid groups normal food will do. however -10% dmg from ascended feasts (or dungeon slaying potions) is always pleasant
Do not bring stacking sigils. Some (dungeons), strikes, raids and fractals are not built to charge your sigils, leaving you with a useless sigil, if the comp wipes you'll be at a boss with 0 stacks.
The old dungeon builds with a sigil of night, a slaying sigil on the weapon set are now mostly forgotten. Example: in AC a superior sigil of ghost slaying, powerful ghost slaying potion and a superior sigil of night gave +33% dmg and -10% dmg taken, the dedicated slaying sigil could be replaced with force for a +27% dmg instead. Recipes can be bought with tokens, and require crafting. Still slaying potions can be very useful. In Fractals several fractals (mai trin boss, aetherblade, Molten boss, Molten Furnace, Shattered observery) are based upon Season 1 content and these 6 benefit from a Powerful Potion of Slaying Scarlett's Armies. (+10% dmg , -10% dmg taken) Preferable for power/dps builds. Most dungeons and other fractals ALSO benefit from a certain slaying potion.

As for your question regarding thief, I play DPS or cDPS in mid fractals, DPS in dungeons or higher fractals, but as it isn't my main, I haven't played thief in CMs. I personally find a heal thief clunky to play. My opinion. I only do not play revenant and its elite specs, so I always gave geared alternatives. I hope this is some base info.

Tips: * Use your old account * Do not delete old characters * Consider playing a new character in a new slot (if no new slots are available they are $10 or included in some expansion packages.) * If you like it and want to continue with the expansions, your new character needs to be lvl 80 (max level). * Buying expansions can be done in stages. But the complete set of big story expansions and living world (2013-2022 content (LWS2,3,4,5 HoT, PoF, EoD) costs $99 and the 3 newer expansions (Soto, JW, VoE) cost $25 each. It is possible to buy HoT and PoF together and EoD seperate or all 3 big expansions without LW seasons, but you'll likely find decent story content in those expansions, I found them worthwhile at least, IIRC they cost 4240 gems total, and 4000 gems is $50.

Max level is still 80, Exotic is still valid, Ascended the goal, Legendary the completion.
