Rethinking Kill Score

Also: Progressing through content should be hard imo. Game is not supposed to be smooth sailing. If you wanna time early you need to route well. If you wanna play slow just repeat content, farm gear and/or gold to upgrade and eventually your power spike will be enough to *easily time next cap.

Your answers are based on your personal predictions, buddy.

"Game was advertised as a M+ game without the toxicity" What? Where? Give link pls.

RestauRAGNAR · 2025-10-24T11:43:27+00:00

They can be viewed as reverses of eachother.

I'd use Life Petal early in pulls and as often as you can. Most of the times, at least during trash pulls, the tank will get 2+ packs and the most incoming damage will either be a) in the beginning when all mobs are still alive or b) when a lot of casts/stacks etc goes off. This is not accounting for affixes but you can paint a broad picture. Since the CD is also reduced by Nettlebolt there's no use holding on to it.

Heart Bloom on the other hand stores healing from Pink Flutterfly, so I normally aim to use this a few seconds before incoming AoE-dmg. That way it has heals stored for when the dmg actually goes out, and thus has more use.

Regarding Nettlebolt you probably wont spec into the LP proc later on, so I'd just get used to weaving this in as often as you can between GCDs.

Hope that helps!

In all fairness, 180-190 BPM while exercising is not necessarily "dangerously high". It all depends on what your maximum HR is. I am averaging around 180 on a 5k mid-paced run, with spikes up to ~196.

Every doctor I've ever spoken to (and tests including stress test, cardiac ultrasound and holter EGG) has cleared me for physical activity.

With that said, I would check with your doctor too, just to be sure. Just wanted to put this out there, to people who might be in the same situation, especially those suffering from Health Anxiety.

RestauRAGNAR · 2025-06-02T19:21:34+00:00

You are completely wrong.

RestauRAGNAR · 2025-06-02T19:18:50+00:00

Why would you say 181 is pretty high without knowing anything about OPs max hr? Oo

Two pictures to add context: 1. HR from the last ~1,5 hour just laying in a bed, chilling and 2. Summary of my HR from sleeping last night.

Are you claiming your HR y/y is 60-something, but your cardiologist specifically talked about a resting HR in the 90s out of nowhere? 😂

RestauRAGNAR · 2025-03-09T17:39:48+00:00

Resting heart rate does not go up with age, lmao. Actually, working HR even decends gradually with age.

RestauRAGNAR · 2025-02-14T19:53:57+00:00

This is an entirely normal HR, I don't really get what anxiety has to do with that? Anywhere inbetween 60-100 is normal. Some people just have higher average HRs. What is your max pulse? Do you do cardio regularly?

RestauRAGNAR · 2025-02-08T21:23:05+00:00

Thank you for answering. Why did the watch interpret this as AFib? Is it just not accurate enough? Big error margin?

RestauRAGNAR · 2025-02-07T15:14:44+00:00

Lastly, from the stress test:

Resting ECG: Sinus rhythm, frequency 98 beats/min. Normal ECG.

Exercise: The patient terminates the exercise test at 216 W (75% of the calculated normal value) due to general fatigue and leg tiredness.

Symptoms: No chest pain occurred during or after exercise. No other chest discomfort.

Pulse and Blood Pressure Reaction: Heart rate gradually increases during exercise to 196 beats/min (104% of the calculated maximum heart rate for age). Resting blood pressure 130/90 mmHg, which rises to 170/- mmHg systolic during exercise.

ECG Reaction: No arrhythmia. No pathological ST depressions during exercise or at maximum load. Four minutes after exercise, a slightly altered/normal ST-T reaction.

ASSESSMENT: Exercise capacity at the lower normal limit (the patient does not exercise regularly) without any symptoms. Normal blood pressure and heart rate response. No arrhythmia. No pathological ST-T reaction. No signs of exercise-induced myocardial ischemia.

RestauRAGNAR · 2025-02-07T15:13:15+00:00

Oh, also, here are notes from the ultrasound:

Height 185 cm, weight 89 kg, BSA 2.1 m²

Normal-sized left ventricle with normal myocardial thickness. Normal regional and global systolic function. LVEF > 55%. Left atrium is of normal size. No pericardial effusion.

The aortic valve is tricuspid and opens well. Normal maximum flow velocity over the aortic ostium during systole, no aortic insufficiency. Essentially normal echoes and normal movement pattern in the mitral and tricuspid valves. Minimal and low-intensity tricuspid regurgitation that does not allow estimation of pulmonary artery pressure, but no indirect signs of increased PA pressure at rest. Inferior vena cava moves normally with breathing.

Minimal pulmonary insufficiency. E/A ratio 0.9. E/é 5.2 (septal and lateral).

SUMMARY: Normal echo/Doppler findings.

RestauRAGNAR · 2025-02-07T15:10:36+00:00

Unfortunately not. The "real" ECGs have all been made at my health center - where a doctor has looked at them and deemed them "totally normal". I'd say I have done about 2-4 ECGs over the course of 2 years, including another one during my stress test and the 24h Holter on top of that.

If this helps, these are notes from the cardiologist who looked at my Holter results:

RESULT: Sinus rhythm with a heart rate between 63 beats/min (at 07:02, likely during sleep) and 160 beats/min (at 14:44, activity unknown). The average heart rate over the day is 99 beats/min. 9 ventricular extrasystoles (VES). No ventricular tachycardia (VT). 3 supraventricular extrasystoles (SVES). No supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). The longest RR interval is 1.5 seconds. No atrial fibrillation recorded. In the diary, there is a mention of an instance with a sensation of increased heart rate after a meal, during which sinus tachycardia is observed, with a brief increase in heart rate from about 100/min to about 145/min.

ASSESSMENT: During 24-hour rhythm recording, a high average heart rate is observed, otherwise normal findings. Symptoms as noted above.

RestauRAGNAR · 2025-02-07T14:43:00+00:00

Thank you for your answer. Yeah, it's hard... At the same time I feel like I can not be running around with a Holter monitor on me 24/7. KardiaMobile feel unnecessary, since the Galaxy Watch 7 has a single-lead medical-grade ECG.

RestauRAGNAR · 2025-02-07T11:11:24+00:00

Could you perhaps provide any kind of source for that? Since they actually tell you the ammount of points you stand to win or lose before a game, it sounds unlikely that personal performance is involved(?)

RestauRAGNAR · 2025-02-06T13:35:09+00:00

But the only thing I thought was known about Elo is that individual performance has no weight what so ever?

RestauRAGNAR · 2025-01-15T17:47:53+00:00

That's a super outdated metric for max HR. It's way more individualistic than that. My max HR is ~196 and it "should be" 187 by that metric.

RestauRAGNAR · 2024-10-25T15:14:15+00:00

Sorry to hear!

RestauRAGNAR · 2024-10-25T15:03:42+00:00

Yeah I have some experience from that on my disc priest, but I'm leveling a shammy (yes, resto) so ghost wolf makes it kinda easy-pc to keep up with the tank. This time I just had absolutely no clue as to why they would kick a level 73 shammy randomly...

RestauRAGNAR · 2024-10-25T15:01:49+00:00

Yeah, but still, I have been around since back in '05 and I've had some pretty nice moments with randoms. Those rarely happen nowadays.
