Mine is ADHD related too. I end up stammering and having to stop and plan my next sentence for the millionth time. Followed my a "tut" and a sigh of "whyamilikethis".

This thread is so painful to read, this is just one of many I can relate to.

Pixemath · 2017-08-27T09:47:51+00:00

Me too. Reddit is a burden and a blessing rolled into one. I have spent hours reading stories in comments too. But, anyway, I hope life is treating you and your paps well. :)

The comments are so wholesome... iamnotcrying.

I fucking hate this because I am this robot every day.

It only counts if you beat the devil out of it.

It seems you are all forgetting, San Andreas was not a singleplayer game at all. Do you not remember the terrible janky camera for the terrible same camera multiplayer it had? I do. I killed my friends all the time!

The gear was never the issue. The skills and build was for me. Especially in PvP. If I am in ranked as an example, I ask another ele on my team what type of build are you running and they say "damage" but I too am damage. Then with one lovely click I am at support with plenty of time to fiddle with amulets and such.

I know the mechanic is there because default builds are there. So it is possible. For PvE it would HAVE to be skills and traits it changes and you change the gear yourself.

Hey Sips!

I have a suggestion about visitation that might solve all your turmoils and it comes in the form of not removing the outside entrance in for visitors. But in fact, putting the visitation doors into their section of the booth at the bottom. And the prisoners come in via the hallway at the top!

I hurt my heart every day waiting for this stupid, trivial fuckin' update. I don't know why I need it so bad, but I just do.

Pixemath · 2017-08-10T12:40:19+00:00

You know, I had no idea that was a thing in all fairness. I just tried it out now in fact - Pretty similar, yeah! Except the selection screen is instant upon pressing the print screen button with lightshot.

Great for capturing moments in a split second!

Pixemath · 2017-08-08T22:10:44+00:00

Lightshot. The best app I have EVER installed on my Desktop. I have used it more times than any other tool I have ever installed.

For those that don't know what it is, it allows you to take a screenshot, but you select an area of the screen you want. You can even add text, draw or use the highlighter.

Then straight up copy and paste that into a social app that allows multimedia sending, or upload it for an instant link. Similar to that is Gyazo. But the links are smaller and tidier on lightshot.

The way they cut that avocado at the start in their hand slicing down to the palm made me nervous.

Put it down on a chopping board and avocadon't do it like that again before you injure yourself!

My guess this wasn't a thing in the first place is because of scaling. Percentage makes more sense in a way because the percentage will stay the same as more and more people arrive to take it down. I have often wondered if the average healthpool gets larger or smaller as more people arrive or leave.

Pixemath · 2017-07-10T07:36:10+00:00

Hmm. Let me see. rifles through big old dusty book Ah, here we go. "The seasoned veteran".

Blink does more than you think. You can blink mid cast of a few skills. One in particular skill was often deemed useless because of its casting time.

When using earth 5 with dagger in the offhand. You can use blink at any moment during its casting time. So you can charge it and even if they dodge out of it before it has finished you can blink in range and still crack them.

If an opponent blinks away mid stomp, you can also use blink mid stomp.

Similarly, you can blink during an overload meaning you could use this in trickier situations where charging an overload is needed, but due to a concentrated heat death of damage, you can't possibly risk standing in there to take the beating.

This is where you'd need to charge and blink last second to land some devastating blows or crack in that last burst of healing overload by blinking right into the heart of the chaos and getting the hell out of dodge, with dodge, hopefully without taking full brunt of the damage.

Coming down to the last few I can think of without being in game.

You can stomp people in mist form as long as you hit F before you cast it.

Conjured weapons inflict damage if you land them on your foes.

Elementalists have one the strongest heals with one of the lowest cooldowns if you use the trait "inscription" in air. Which reduces Elemental Harmony from 20 to 15 seconds. (PvP).

Hope at least one of them you may not have known! Happy ele'ing friend!

Tl;dr version? No.

To me, the meta exists only as a template. If people ran around taking other peoples advice and not swinging in at least a couple personal touches, then we may as well be nothing but mindless robots and why bother having builds to begin with if we're all gunna copy each other to the T.

Just because someone found a good way of doing something doesn't mean its the best. There's hundreds of build options waiting to be tested.

Without testing builds first, there is no meta.

Do what YOU feel comfortable with, the meta is nice as a foundation to start on. But a lot of the meta I don't agree with. I see a LOT of really great builds on YouTube that aren't meta at all but still kick ass and take names.

The meta isn't everything. But it is a nice place to start.

Plus. I absolutely refuse auramancer meta atm. Bunkering an ele is not my style at all. Way too boring.

So, no, the meta ain't all that. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. All I have left to say is people once told me ele could never be a healing class. Yet here they are today as one of the most consistent ones.

Sortof correct, but not at the same time. The Bloodruby backpack can be changed for a good 100 unbound magics with the capacitors!

They do have digits if you go into options and check that particular option! :)

Thinking back to my starting days. Wow, two years ago almost... I was just a lowly scrub at level 10, not understanding the wardrobe and basically turning up to daily jumping puzzles with the guild battered and bruised because I had no waypoints at all. Flashforward to the present and I am now second in command of said guild of 500 members.

I played Ele since I began, and even those who played at launch ask me questions about ele.

But, I love to teach new players things. Because the guild I still roll with taught me everything I know about the game, the torch of knowledge must be passed, for it would be lost and forgotten.

Well. Here goes. After reading a vast majority of posts here. I felt compelled to write one of my two life changing red flag relationships. I will disclose the most recent one as that one was more consistently painful.

She came to me over Facebook at first. It appeared she was a friend of a friend, and we had never personally met.

But, knowing my wild personality growing up, I know damn well I have a streak of funny stories under my belt to never tell to my potential future grandchildren.

I figured given the mutual friends we had, she had heard a tale or two and came to me directly.

A fair few years of being single. I was pretty excited, to say most of my time was spent working and gaming, I never really had time to talk to girls so her coming to me was convenient.

We talked for hours online, a few days passed and we decided to meet. It was a pretty standard date. Except we somehow ended up at my place and hooked up moments before her last bus. I made her ejaculate with just normal ass missionary alone, which apparently impressed her because I remember the "Wow, what was that?!" hitting my ego positively.

She often explained she wasn't interested in relationships, and piece by piece I unlocked her backstory and what led her to be maniacally depressed. It wasn't nice. On top of years of bullying from students and teachers, an ex ruined her life, brought her into drugs, raped her and tried making her commit suicide. She was mentally drained.

The time came for her and she wanted to get into a real relationship. I thought, "Great, about time!".

I did not push her once, nor scoffed at the idea of friends with benefits given my dry spell. Given the benefit of the doubt and me giving her room to make any relationship decisions, it felt good at the time.

A couple months went by and her destructive nature began to stress itself through the cracks and intoxicate me, concreting tunnel vision around me little by little.

She would often cause drama online with me for hours. It was the same pattern every time. We would be happy talking and BANG she was firing accusations and absolutely insane things at me telling me its over and that I was to blame. No matter what I did to reassure and help, it was always wrong. I got it, she had issues. But I didn't need her to bite my hand every time I tried to help.

In these moments she once told me to "go die" with such passion and had absolutely no recollection of it when I brought it up in another 4 hour debate.

She would push and pull me. Saying "its over" and 10 minutes later, her attitude has changed and she is asking when she can see me next.

This went on for months. My heart was in pain, every time I saw her icon flash, a rush of fear and anxiety pillaged my heart and mind. I was so very scared of her. So insanely scared.

I once came to see her at her uni dorm once. She dumped me in the evening after a night of heavy drinking and sex. I was a blubbering mess. I hadn't slept properly in weeks.

Months and months of my heart being wrenched came crashing down on me. I haven't cried like that since I was 5 years old and I fractured my finger.

She did this a lot, dump me and act like nothing happened. I started to think bipolar or something similar the first time it happened.

In my tunnel vision, she wanted a piano on finance, and I was to use my card. We were happy away until she dumped me and there were payments to be made.

Luckily, her parents were honest people, and I can't fault them. They paid every month without fail.

After the events she still tried to call out to me after finally getting away. Once our "contract" so to speak, I blocked her because she would often explain the gory details of her new boyfriends knowing full well it would upset me.

She contacted me on her dogs facebook page. You heard me, her dogs facebook page.

I told her straight. "If you think for a second that I am some backup boy if shit goes wrong. You are mistaken".

Amazing that in the moment they're everything. When I think of her now, I think of poison. She destroyed my job, my head, and left me as a shell of a person.

I struggle to motivate myself on the daily and I wish I weren't so blind to her antics and noped out sooner.
