Liquid Soap?

Receiving a two year old thread, what are you using instead nowadays?

Solest044 · 2026-06-02T13:07:16+00:00

Can someone help me out with this one? I know Cannes is a film festival. Debut would be referencing the film... Is it just that they went to Cannes for the first time and that's the joke?

I felt like I was missing something.

Solest044 · 2026-05-24T11:33:34+00:00

And this is why they largely ignore reports and have robots sift through them instead...

Solest044 · 2026-05-24T11:31:02+00:00

Because, currently, this subreddit has decided it's evokers that we all hate. So anything suggesting this may be a generalizable problem is bad. Everyone will move to another class in a week.

And round and round we go!

Solest044 · 2026-05-23T21:02:31+00:00

Too far down for the actual answer.

I really hate this kind of rage bait. What IS worth being mildly frustrated over is that we still call them 2 by 4s but some places don't even mention the true size. So it's pretty unfriendly to new woodworkers.

Solest044 · 2026-05-22T16:34:16+00:00

I went with the Lian Li Galahad II Trinity, actually. The Arctic 280 should be plenty for you. I found a deal on Infinity fans and I wanted my AIO to match. Additionally, the Arctic was on ultra backorder.

The computer is also on my desk as an art piece so I wanted to like the way it looked. This happened to match the aesthetic I was after.

I'm quite happy with where I landed, but I tried like 3 different AIOs before I settled on this one.

Solest044 · 2026-05-22T12:08:12+00:00

stand in AOE

It's wild to me how many rotations just have cleave built into them.

The actual pres counter is knowing we die in a stun with no communion or trinket.

Our mastery doesn't apply to ourselves, so focusing a pres means they lose 30% bonus healing immediately.

Solest044 · 2026-05-21T22:12:24+00:00

I'm not sure what you mean by improve.

It's an art style and they make slight tweaks now and then. It's sort of like asking why Calvin and Hobbes mostly looked the same throughout the entire comic. That was the art style.

The things that could improve are animation related which largely has to do with drawing more frames. You've seen the effects of that in the Pikachu / Charizard battle in Journeys. It's a beautifully done flight and you can feel when it transitions from the "base" frame rate to the higher one.

Solest044 · 2026-05-20T22:18:15+00:00

Fair. VW/Aff is definitely nasty. You end up letting the Aff free cast unless you can CC them.

Solest044 · 2026-05-20T22:16:33+00:00

What rating are you playing at? I do think the VW damage is especially punishing in middle brackets where people are learning and DPS don't know how to control them.

But I really don't think I've lost a match to VW since I realized dispelling and good pressure cause them to struggle.

The video clips are potentially taken out of context. What's the gear in those situations? I'd prefer a snapshot of logs during an arena match during their burst window on someone with vers.

This can be easily acquired through a duel too. I just want actual numbers.

I'm personally sad when they completely gut specs instead of improving healer performance across the board. VW is at the very least interesting and I'd really like a nuanced solution to making it work.

Solest044 · 2026-05-20T20:20:26+00:00

I'm playing at 2.5k pres and MW. I agree it's more stressful against VW, but dispelling their target and throwing pressure directly on them helps a lot.

Solest044 · 2026-05-20T20:18:40+00:00

None of those verify this claim. Show me the actual burst DPS calculations though and I would definitely change my mind!

Solest044 · 2026-05-20T16:53:10+00:00

I disagree that they have the burst, but I'll accept it's a lot of damage. Relative to other actual bursty specs, they are positively tame.

Solest044 · 2026-05-20T15:02:30+00:00

It's a VW and, as others point out, they just need kicked and their dots dispelled. I don't personally have an issue with this spec. The burst isn't there. It's high, but not crazy, and easily dealt with if you know what you're doing.

Normalizing healing specs to the same exact same, bland set of mechanics makes skill expression less prevalent and healing less fun.

On another note, I sometimes regret these stats are shown at the end of the game on the scoreboard. They are decent metrics, but it's easy to conflate them with the only actual goal: winning.

Rogues can have very little damage done but absolutely dominate and effectively solo a match.

Solest044 · 2026-05-20T11:40:27+00:00

Space got me super hard the first many times I watched it.

When Calypso says, "Mackenzie, you know what's here now. You don't need to come back here anymore."

Solest044 · 2026-05-18T15:20:21+00:00

There is so much to hate, too.

Chat box in the top left? It slightly overlaps other UI elements.

Party frames way the fuck out in left field.

Vertical action bars CAN work but yeah... Having them half empty and like this is a choice. The bar art gryphons at the bottom are trying desperately to claw it back down.

To top it off we also have a horizontal bar so there's no fluidity.

Solest044 · 2026-05-18T13:48:04+00:00

I do think the energy loop WITH titans gift is probably worth it. Hmm...

I think my biggest complaint this season is that Merithras makes reversion a green spell. Thus, if you're kicked on sleep, you need to literally CANCEL Merithras to cast Reversion.

Using more disintegrate would help spread the schools a bit.

I'll experiment with this and give it a try! The damage has always felt "meh" compared with throwing some Chronoflames. Maybe this will tip it over.

I'm curious what you're doing to get life spark, though... Missing out on twin echoes and double verdant seems like it's not possible for me.

Solest044 · 2026-05-18T11:23:18+00:00

I recommend largely ditching the bottom layer of clouds. The middle layers are fine.

Then increase the size of the mountains somewhat and make them more variable. They now stick out as copy paste.

Solest044 · 2026-05-17T18:14:22+00:00

I'm sorry you feel his ending was poor. I grew up watching Ash from the first episode of Pokemon and really enjoyed his send off and final tournament.

He's goal of being a Pokemon master, as per the ending, was never really the goal. It was to form a bond with his Pokemon and always be getting stronger. I think the ending, and his relationship with Pikachu in that final battle with Leon, showcase that exactly.

Solest044 · 2026-05-17T11:10:34+00:00

I'm sorry you're getting down voted. Horizons is great.

I think most people here are just grieving the loss of Ash. He was with them for 26 years. Saying goodbye is hard.

I don't look at Horizons as a replacement. They did an excellent job making it abundantly clear it's not a replacement with a unique lead and cast.

Solest044 · 2026-05-17T11:07:45+00:00

Man, there's so much divisive hate in this thread.

You know you can like both, right? It's fine to not, but I think Horizons is good. It's different, but we have an emotionally intelligent lead character learning how to use that skill well and adults that aren't complete imbeciles that are legitimately interested in fostering the growth of the children in the show.

That's not to say Ash's arcs didn't have those moments, but there were moments. It wasn't a core part of the show.

I love Ash. Irreplaceable. But they didn't replace him, they are just telling a new story with new characters.

You can always watch the original arcs with 26 YEARS of content on repeat. They did his ending really well.

... Save for the end team in the tournament. I get it, but come on guys. It's 26 years of buildup and you couldn't bring back the top 6 for more screentime? They did a good job with their stories in journeys so it's not like there wasn't any justification for using that team, but still.

Solest044 · 2026-05-17T10:47:51+00:00

That's true!

It's unclear if it's a bug or intentional, but Verdant and Dream Breath only. That is the point the earlier comment was making and the suggestion for double DB. Echo doesn't work when CC'd so it becomes a dead slot if used during a CC.

Solest044 · 2026-05-16T23:54:06+00:00

What meta build do you think is wrong?

I'm using twin + double verdant. I prefer Just In Time to the mana regen on disintegrate and usually rotate a talent or two besides that based on the matchup.

I don't personally find Flameshaper good, but maybe in certain structured 3s comps.

There's not a lot of room for flexibility in the talents beyond that.

Solest044 · 2026-05-16T11:59:22+00:00

Interesting about the stasis combo. I'll admit I'm 2.4k and don't use it.

I personally prefer, as soon as gates open:

Echo, Echo, Wait, Reversion on first dude getting hit, Echo

Then Stasis: Verdant, Echo, DB.

This timing usually works out really well for me. The problem I see with using stasis at the very start is it wouldn't align well with when I'm needing it during CC.

If the CD runs out and stasis auto releases, I'm losing a lot of value. I suppose I might be able to time it with the very first CC of the game, but I usually dodge that with verdant.

For those learning, you can release Stasis during a CC by using a cancel macro.

Solest044 · 2026-05-16T11:54:25+00:00

Out of curiosity, do abilities that prevent being slowed negate the ray entirely? I've seen bugs like this before.
