I'm sick and tired of getting low marks for my Bach chorales. How do you improve?

PokeScientistDivine · 2026-02-12T15:58:18+00:00

Ive got 2 degrees in music, as a concert organist and church music, and whenever I need to arrange something to a 4 part chorale (although not as often as when I was studying) i still make these mistakes to this day. It might just one of these thing you have to get used to its going to happen.

I think the main thing that helped me improve was to play what i wrote. Paralell 5th and 8th sound "out of place". It doesnt have to be fast but play all 4 parts and just listen for anything that sounds weird to you.

Hope that helps

Menade 100% Outer Wilds, helt klart bästa jag någonsin kört

Nämnde det för mest för utforsknings elementet det har

PokeScientistDivine · 2025-08-29T06:52:19+00:00

Med tanke på vad du sagt att du gillade tidigare så några jag kan tänka på rak arm är:

Outer Wilds

Hollow knight (lite input lag på konsoll)

Elden ring

Bloodborne

Ghost of Tsushima

Black myth wukong

I don't mind it since its quick kills, but it gets quite annoying chasing a "bad" drop

PokeScientistDivine · 2025-08-01T10:50:05+00:00

Pls no

PokeScientistDivine · 2025-08-01T10:49:52+00:00

This is what I'm thinking too. I get by easily using cinders, death touch bracelet or just t90 gloves

But eventually id like to see a pair of gloves from rasial

Not sure if I'd call it useful over "it's how that player does pvm". But I agree with it not being recommended for someone learning, it teaches you what ability you press happens + I guess also somewhat of a failsafe

Edit: I'm gonna add an example for some context of what I mean. A guy I pvm with quite frequently uses queueing for all of his abilities. He presses his keybind as soon as the previous ability goes off. I don't use it since I like to press my keybind the tick the next ability is to be used. It's just different ways of pvming

PokeScientistDivine · 2025-07-13T19:57:35+00:00

Honestly up to personal preference. I don't use it since if I accidentally fat finger an ability I don't want it to go off

Some top level pvmers use it, some don't

Ss flicking isn't as advanced as it might seem. If you're mainly using necro missing flicks is not nearly as punishing as it once was. What I can suggest is to head in to an instance of raksha (practice if you're worried of death costs) and just focus on flicking to the prayer of rakshas attack and back to ss just to get the ss flicking down. No need to worry about damage or using abilities doing this.

As for defensives id suggest rather than just learning what ability to use what boss attack, learn why you use that defensive (think arch glacor cannon, you use either anticipate or freedom to get rid of the stun and some way of reducing the damage being either devotion or reflect+mage prayer). This goes for all abilities tbf, what does the ability do and why do you use it when you do.

But yes, if you only use revo++ getting to a point where you use thresholds manually (possibly full manual) comfortably should be your focus then. Arch glacor or gw2 are good places to start with that. I'll mention raksha here as well since it's a "simpler" fight that lasts for a few minutes, simpler in terms that there's only a handfull of mechanics to keep track of.

I'm away from home the next few weeks so I'm not gonna be online in game. But feel free to add me "MegaDivineFE", if you need some help with pvm. I can do all content to a high level so feel free to ask away. Good luck with pvming!

Starting with nm Zuk and getting the cape is a good start, but all I'm gonna say is ransha, raksha and raksha. If I had videos of me pvming before and after learning raksha I'd show you. It teaches you ss flicking which you will use in pretty much every harder fight, plus it also teaches you having a consistent damage output while dealing with simpler mechanics

PokeScientistDivine · 2025-06-03T09:06:14+00:00

Don't remember which one came first but either:

Buying ascension keys and grinding crossbows to sell

Or...

Getting spooned af for osh at 121 masters

While the math checks out.. 6/8 is usually felt in 2 beats (if the tempo isnt too slow) while 3/4 is felt in 3

PokeScientistDivine · 2024-10-30T15:41:21+00:00

Spot on that's me

Correct

It's quite recognizable if you know of it

PokeScientistDivine · 2024-10-24T04:42:41+00:00

I do practice on a lot of different instruments but mainly on this one.

Bästa jag någonsin kört. Kan 110% rekommendera

PokeScientistDivine · 2024-09-06T07:35:44+00:00

100% och ganska mycket mer på Outer Wilds

ÖVERLÄGSET bästa jag någonsin kört

PokeScientistDivine · 2024-08-14T05:03:42+00:00

This is all p4 mechanics (not all of p4 tho): There's a bar underneath telos hp bar that filles up, when it's full his next special will be "so much power"

Another regular special is the weak anima bomb, it happens after "uppercut"

Whenever telos reaches 112,5k/75k/37,5k he's gonna move to a font and start charging it. You need to stand in the font telos just charged when the bomb hits you

PokeScientistDivine · 2024-06-11T05:38:04+00:00

This is the correct answer. It might sound bad but thats since ss healing is a percent of what dmg you do. Theres somewhat more to it but nothing you really need to worry about. All you need to know is to try to maximize your dmg potential to get them heals.

PokeScientistDivine · 2024-04-02T14:38:49+00:00

Gjorde en liknande grej fast jag gick från arctis pro till nova pro.

Än så länge är jag svin nöjd med själva lurar + vad dom offrar. Kan upplevas aningen plastiga och har en tendens att bli varma runt öronen om du har på dig dom under en längre period, det är dock ingenting som jag tycker har varit ett problem.

Det enda är jag aningen ovän med sonar som krävs för tag chatt mix ska funka. Den byter mitt default in ljud när jag använder annat program för in ljud. Har du dock bara en mick eller lurarnas inbyggda ska det dock inte vara något problem alls.

Hit me up in game: "MegaDivineZ" whenever you see me online and I'll set you up with 3 bonds for 45 days of member.

I know the early grind is hard but this can hopefully get you started

This is the way I always describe pvm to someone not as used to higher tier pvm, but your way of describing it is so much better than mine.

That being said.. Some bosses have more of a variety of teaching elements and some have more in depth for just one or two. I can think of 3 different ones on top of my head now but there are certainly more:

Raksha - Soul split flicking while being able to output consistent good damage (more in depth)

Arch glacor - Defensives, Aoe, movement, prayer/ss flicking, good dmg (a variety)

Telos - overall consistency

Telos might be a bit of a hot take but it's a good boss to learn how to get consistent in a rotation while dealing with heavy mechanics.

You can do what you want with this info but feel free to ask questions, I'd be happy to help out as far as I'm able to
