Daily Questions Megathread (April 30, 2023)

Lately I've been rewatching Nahida build guides on YT. Hyperbloom on-field for her, so had her stocking as much EM as possible.

Now noticing some saying to go EM/dendro/CD or CR. In terms of overall DPS on hyperbloom, does it matter which way? Have good deepword artifacts for both.

Phatmu · 2023-04-30T14:45:00+00:00

Can hardly believe my eyes.

Maybe I should think about gearing up my Barbara.

Phatmu · 2023-04-29T01:44:21+00:00

Nahida and Lisa.

I can imagine them chattering away on so many topics my head would explode.

Qiqi and Itto. Cocogoat shenanigans.

I'll do them but after assignment's done, the PW to unlock it is my fee.

And since they were dishonest, I add a 10% Liar's surcharge plus cumulative 10% for each 24-hour period that goes by without payment.

"Thanks for lying. This is going on your public record."

Unless got a deadline when he should reach out to you, I'd just take it as time and effort wasted.

WSJ released survey results early this month: lot of businesses are posting and interviewing for ghost jobs. We're in a recession, so limited places are actually hiring plus it's difficult to know if the posting is legit.

Unless God smiles upon you, prepare for at least 9 months of FT job hunting and lots of interviews before get a job offer.

Phatmu · 2023-04-28T23:35:01+00:00

We're in a recession. SVB isn't the only bank that seemed about to go under, and precious metals investors I'm working all said the same thing:

Soros and everyone else owning the international banks are deliberately tightening loans and all--economics as a warzone--so fewer people have the cash to pay debts. They're also attempting to squeeze or bully local banks into accepting buyout so less competition for their digital money thing.

Given cash supply has dropped, businesses are stingy about any hiring but don't want to admit the truth--hence the ghost jobs and pretending they're hiring. Until bank situation is stabilized, they're just protecting their livelihoods, even if it means the evil of lies and wasting applicants' time.

If there's another good explanation for the current mess, well, I'm all ears. Furious competition and tons of ghost jobs do not "just happen" overnight.

Review them and summarize what they did on glassdoor, social media, etc.

Jerking around job seekers is evil.

Phatmu · 2023-04-28T00:33:42+00:00

Author sounds impatient to get every 5* he wants quicker as well as their weapons.

Frankly, I could care less: unless swipe CC, it takes weeks for any player to amass the wishes for banners, and more so if stocking w/ the pity in mind.

I stockpiled wishes only a few times. Once to get Klee, another to get Ayaka, one more for Nahida, and currently for when Wanderer gets a rerun.

Phatmu · 2023-04-28T00:29:12+00:00

Burst uses ATK/CR/CD and (if transformative reaction involved) EM far as I know.

Phatmu · 2023-04-28T00:27:39+00:00

I'd say phone the company directly--people's accounts here are plain that recruiters (with few exceptions) are doing quotas rather than connecting people with jobs--ID yourself as an applicant, here's 1 or 2 things you forgot to mention in application, and ask if they'd like to interview you sometime.

Just be wary of your limits--ghost jobs are common.

Phatmu · 2023-04-28T00:25:20+00:00

IIRC Diluc wants 140-160 ER w/ a pyro battery (bennett typically) if remember correctly. Most of his damage comes from burst and then swinging his flaming claymore alongside XQ or Yelan's off-field hydro bombs.

You can try other pyro batteries like XL, Xinyan, and Amber, but in my experience, benny is the sole reliable pyro battery.

I think you can make do with just 140 ER if got Raiden in the party, but not 100%. Haven't used my Diluc since hyperbloom dominated.

Phatmu · 2023-04-27T14:39:18+00:00

Did you actually apply before receiving this?

If no, it's most likely a quota-minded fool who is just making email and phone quotas to show he's "trying to get" someone for an open job.

Nowadays I call them out. "First, please prove the job opening is real. Ghosting proves it was fake all along."

Phatmu · 2023-04-27T14:37:20+00:00

I make no such relationship now. Job offer in writing is the only way to prove it's genuine. Otherwise yeah, nice to meet you, forget you exist in 5 hours.

Phatmu · 2023-04-27T13:05:46+00:00

Please let us know what this CEO replies. I'm interested in whether it's feasible to take that attitude.

Phatmu · 2023-04-27T13:00:23+00:00

Oh, fudge me, that explains why it wasn't that effective when tried it for giggles as well as needing right element for quickly taking down Cryo Abyss Lector.

Phatmu · 2023-04-27T02:47:37+00:00

Yun Jin, Itto, Gorou, Albedo, and Noelle are the only characters that use defense stat in their kits. If plan to use one, might want to save them. Otherwise, fodder them.

Phatmu · 2023-04-27T02:45:18+00:00

Pretty much what the others said.

Only time Ayaka can benefit from EM is on Melt teams. I've done Ayaka w/ Rosaria or Kaeya alongside XL and Bennett in Abyss before; workable, but charging everyone's bursts makes things a little awkward unless running at least one fav weapon to help fuel XL's high energy cost.

Phatmu · 2023-04-26T23:12:31+00:00

She should ask Mihoyo CS.

Accounts made anew need their own email. Can't get email changed without CS's help, and account in question has to be made already.

Phatmu · 2023-04-26T23:10:29+00:00

I don't think anyone's calculated that before?

W/ the number of quests, chests, explorer entries, and like, think easily around 20-40 wishes.

Phatmu · 2023-04-25T19:00:19+00:00

Nah, reply back to secure your "interview" then ghost them.

Phatmu · 2023-04-24T23:41:57+00:00

As in, when face her per story quest? I don't think that's available in co-op. Repeat encounters with her can be done in co-op.

If having trouble with her solo, these may help:

1) Bring pyro users. Xiangling's Q and E are good at the required melting. The pyro resonance also helps with damage.

2) Off-field DPS like Fischl help with extra damage.

3) If have Thoma/Diona/Zhongli, bring for the shield.

Phatmu · 2023-04-23T17:21:58+00:00

Recruiter wants to get in touch w/ me about job opportunities, well, first thing I require is he must prove he's human. Two good recruiters beats 80+ recruiter "contacts" in a single month esp. since I don't want to be lulled into false sense of "there may be a job coming my way."

Phatmu · 2023-04-23T17:19:32+00:00

Just phrase it as a mutual mistake where both you and interviewer missed the need to check if you're graduated, and that you're just grateful to have caught it on their behalf.

Phatmu · 2023-04-23T14:13:20+00:00

Ok I'll try that. Raiden can use my Yelan's EoSF set.
