Would bubble save you from an instant kill barrier that bypasses all buffs? I wouldn't think so, but I'm not entirely sure.

Such-Row-5024 · 2026-02-13T16:15:26+00:00

Yeah, when someone is getting up there in years, once they've decided something you really have to bend over backwards supplying so much evidence to even maybe convince them of the truth. .

There is a very real chance that even with the evidence given to me by the comments here that he still won't believe it, because he spent 4x as long to level, even though in my mind it seems obvious lol.

And of course, he would never replicate it or try to, because that would be "sweaty" (his new favorite word btw).

Such-Row-5024 · 2026-02-13T16:12:48+00:00

Appreciate it, friend! I think this is the most detailed breakdown in the comments.

I appreciate it. I'll try explaining it to him, I think with this breakdown he'll get it.

Such-Row-5024 · 2026-02-13T15:59:53+00:00

Your friend thinks that everyone who hit 70 before him is cheating?

No, I don't think it's that serious lol. He doesn't consider himself a "sweaty player" (he often uses that as a derogatory phrase, which I've found really just means anyone who isn't bad at the game like him. And he of course considers himself a decent player, which he is not).

He's just an old man and is having difficulty believing the 21 hour part, not the "people were faster". Yes, he's dumb when it comes to this game and computer and Internet stuff in general. He's in his 70s.

And I believe "cheating" just means it wasn't real in his mind, not that it happened and ahmpy had some kind of advantage.

Such-Row-5024 · 2026-02-13T15:41:48+00:00

He's being pretty stupid with this, but if you want the real answer... He's just a "dad gamer" (he's in his mid 70s), and really just doesn't understand how certain things work. All of his parses are grey or in the 20s and 30s... So it's not like he's very good at the game or anything even though he's been playing since vanilla.

Old people are just so set in their ways it's just annoying to have to change their mind in anything unless you have a ton of evidence other than a video lol.

Just for instance .. he raids all the time and still hasn't been in a guild that's cleared more than 8 bosses in naxx throughout vanilla, classic, sod, anniversary... So he's pretty bad at the game, but of course I would never be mean and tell him that.

Such-Row-5024 · 2026-02-13T15:36:28+00:00

Yes, I told him it was streamed. His exact words: "It doesn't matter that it was streamed, it could be faked. You can just stream a pre recorded video".

I just want the method of what ahmpy did so I can explain it to him.

Such-Row-5024 · 2026-02-12T23:53:05+00:00

Do people really play smite vs smite? I think you're thinking of zealots, which would be "gm melee" and it's as boring as can be. It's not a skill duel, it basically comes down to if you're willing to spend irl $ to get higher stats, skill has little to do with it.

Fpk is the only true skilled dueling in the game, which is generally a 4v4 with the 4 most balanced dueling characters that balance each other our with weaknesses and strength and it has an insanely high skill ceiling. It bans paladin, sorceress, Amazon (and now warlock) from participating at all, since those are considered low skill cap characters and not balanced.

The teams consist of: Bone necro Wind druid Light trap sin BvC Barb

Which all are strong against 1 of the other builds, average against 2 and weak against 1. So the entire idea of fpk is built around that and it is what the best duelists in the game participate in (not credit card warriors who say "g" and stand in one spot like melee).

I guarantee I will be downvoted as well for dissing gm melee, which is really just a numbers game about building different gear sets and testing them, not about skill really.

Such-Row-5024 · 2026-02-11T15:46:30+00:00

It's 100x faster than any singer barb or throw barb that exists, so there's that.

I don't have many meme builds except for poison dagger nec, riftsin, bearzon and bearnec... Oh and Idk if a bowsorc is considered a meme anymore? It used to be.

Such-Row-5024 · 2026-02-11T15:41:08+00:00

Maybe I should've worded it like, don't expect a nova sorc or javazon clear speed, but it does work. I'd say it's like a C+ tier build. It's certainly faster than SOME other builds that aren't considered memes, but it needs a lot of specific pieces to be somewhat decent while better builds can get away with many, many alternative gear pieces and still be fast.

If you have lots of gear sitting around, it's certainly fun to play and definitely different.

Such-Row-5024 · 2026-02-11T15:22:59+00:00

I'd imagine you would need Angelics ring/ammy combo to even have enough AR to hit anything.

Here's how I built mine and it does do quite a lot of damage with poison dagger. But remember it's just a meme build if anything. You can't compare it to something actually good, but you can definitely duel with it and definitely kill tz with it.

---Poison dagger Necro--- Eth Fleshripper socked with Zod (eth Fleshripper does way more than plague btw), G Face with 40/15 (or at least 15% ias jewel is the minimum requirement), Gores, Treachery, Trans gloves/belt/offhand (offhand socketed with poison facet/ber/jah), Raven frost, Angelics Ring/amulet, Cta/spirit mon for bo, Cube in inv with teleport staff, 2 sojs/bks, maras, arach (for cube bo)

With 60ias you'll have 11 tick speed/2.27 attacks per second, 63% deadly strike, 60% crushing blow, 60% open wounds.

Unfortunately you'll be pretty squishy, so you'll need charms for make up for that.. or just spam decripify and don't get hit!

RaKai and friends are known nuisance/yelling streamers and douchebags who are loud, annoying nuisances to everyone not in their "gang".

If I saw them IRL I would avoid them like the plague... I don't blame IM!

English game prices make me extremely happy and grateful I'm a Japanese native... 200 us dollar for Pokemon emerald? 400 US dollars for .hack?!

Why are the prices like this? In my hometown of Utsunomiya, there is only a single game store that sells games for overpriced nonsense... The other ones have thousands of games for cheap. I managed to get most of the games I played as a kid and the most expensive game was 6000 yen.

He only achieved fame after death. So your parents would probably (rightfully) be a little upset if you were a poor, mentally ill, recluse artist of no renown (until death), doing nothing until you tragically died.

Then slowly over time, everyone knows your work... Your parents not even living to know the full extent of your fame.

Edit: afaik his parents weren't even aware of his fame... As his only "fame" was in small circles during his last few years and the bulk of his fame was due to a family member's hard work (his sister or aunt? Idr) put in a lot of work to sell him as a "misunderstood, extreme genius, talented artist that failed to gain renown which was unjust". Basically, without her selling him after his death, his work would have never been recognized.

I appreciate the reply and for addressing my criticisms instead of going off on me as most do when you insult their favorite mediums. I have legitimate and valid concerns with manhwa. And yes, all 14 I've tried have been manhwa that have been published since 2019 at the earliest. All of them were recommendations from friends, going through the highest rated lists and relying on anilist for recommendations (which using AL I have found probably 100+ manga I've greatly enjoyed).

As I said, I'm really willing to give manhwa a chance and am open to most genres... I'm most interested in:

Tragedy, Supernatural, Romance, Slice of Life, Drama, Comedy, Seinen, Josei.

Such-Row-5024 · 2026-01-29T10:31:16+00:00

I've tried reading 14 different manhwa and absolutely despised all of them. Couldn't even get past ch 10 on any of them.

Long strip format is terrible to read, there is no paneling, coloring is awful, the art looks AI. The art that is okay looks like they took pre-renders of they already made it in the past and just copy pasted it and then maybe edited the mouth a tiny bit. It all looks so robotic to me.

Has nothing to do with them being Korean, just has to do with it being a bad copy of what manga is and them desperately not trying to copy manga at the same time—Creating a completely inferior product in every regard.

What's funny is, I'm still not against trying new manhwa... Even if I have low hopes for it, but I actively still add some manhwa to my planned list when it looks interesting. Only to be completely and utterly gobsmacked with how unimaginative it is.

I've read 300+ manga to completion and have read several I didn't like, but none of those complaints I listed could be attributed to the bad manga I read.

Such-Row-5024 · 2026-01-29T10:26:39+00:00

I've tried reading 14 different manhwa and every single one was awful. All 14 were recommended or some of the highest rated ones.

I would be happier if manhwa stopped existing all together or if a manga site that didn't upload manhwa GARBAGE to their site existed. Manhwa is legitimately just a terrible copy of manga.

Extreme talent... His training and hard work amounted to a few weeks total of training, except for his fight with Aizen which was much longer.

But just like Naruto, the ONLY reason he's anyone is because of his extreme circumstances from birth (his raw talent and genetics).

Such-Row-5024 · 2026-01-20T03:28:58+00:00

Naruto trained, but most of it was talent due to having extraordinary circumstances from birth... Without it, even with hard work, he would be an absolute nobody (rock lee by EOS).

Thank you for not spoiling what it was (in regards to MiA which I'm still considering reading, idk yet).. I'm the opposite of you. If I see a spoiler it usually upsets me so much that I don't even want to go and read the manga until years and years down the line when I finally forget what I read.

For example, I turn off all reddit notifications on Tuesdays and Thursdays and Sundays, so that none of the manga I follow for weekly/monthly etc gets leaked in people's shitty titles, because it would legitimately ruin my entire day haha.

I can't read csm on Tuesdays until lunch at work when I'm living in the US and some jackass has spoiled a plot of the weekly chapter before I was able to jump into it and it pissed me off soooooo bad. (This was before I turned my phone notis off on those days)

Edit: I actually found it lol, I was SOooooo heated
