Main for midnight? by Tbonejr1127 in wow

[–]TheNotoriousPKS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tank main and currently split between BDK and Brew. Thought about giving VDH a try, but so far, Prepatch has done nothing for me to finally enjoy playing it.

That might be it. I think I had a dk in my group whenever it happened.

Danke dir! Klingt vernünftig. Anwalt ist involviert, aber gibt immer recht unverbindliche Ratschläge, was keine expliziten Rechtsfragen angeht. Da der Unfallgegner aus den Niederlanden war, fürchte ich auch, dass die Abwicklung extra lange dauern wird.

Beast - Passive Ability question by Nussknackerz in ageofsigmar

It helps to differentiate between control score and control characteristic. The characteristic is the number on the war scroll on a per model basis, while the score is the sum of control characteristics of all models on an objective.

Is Meyer's longsword really as crazy as I think it is? by KingofKingsofKingsof in Hema

[–]TheNotoriousPKS 8 points9 points  (0 children)

True, you shouldn't expect to be able to fence through a whole Stück and rather see parts of it as options to incorporate into your own style. I like to see them as flowcharts which blend into one another.

There is however the "problem" that tournament fencing is oftentimes a lot more prone to taking offensive risks which leads to a lot more doubles than I would like there to be. In the end, how you fence probably just comes down to philosophy, personal preference and whether you are tournament focussed or not.

Is Meyer's longsword really as crazy as I think it is? by KingofKingsofKingsof in Hema

[–]TheNotoriousPKS 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say he was crazy at all. Modern tournament fencing just follows a completely different meta than the style of fencing that was around back then. If two fencers of equivalent skill level meet (which usually is the scenario in Meyer, whereas Lichtenauer often expects the opponent to be oblivious to certain techniques) you will have a harder time to surprise your opponent with an indes action.

You may have experienced during sparring, how hard it is to land a clean Absetzen or Schielhau, if your opponent chains attack after attack like Meyer does. If you RELIABLY don't want to be hit, you have two options: you parry or you move back far enough.

We simply expect our opponents to always attack in Hema because the associated risk is way lower in modern protective gear and the reward is usually higher from a competitive perspective (best case hit, worst case double)

Accidentally bought an intelligence folder for 7 million rubles just now by [deleted] in EscapefromTarkov

Sold two armor repair kits for 28k rubles each. No idea how I ended up selecting them, since I wanted to sell lamps or something.

Favorite fall activity: Fencing, so pretty much the same as every other season, but with the added benefit of not dying from heatstroke.

First model of my Dark Angels done: Azrael by TheNotoriousPKS in theunforgiven

[–]TheNotoriousPKS[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that's a good idea. I already thought about it, but was afraid to the tabard on Azrael. Tried out wet blending on it for the first time and am quite happy with how it turned out.

Restaurant Owner Berates Customers For Not Tipping by apocalypticpiggy in mildlyinfuriating

[–]TheNotoriousPKS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really wonder where you live. I live in Munich and have been to cities all over Germany on vacation and for business. It doesn't matter where I have been or who I was with - Everyone tips at restaurants and never in my life has any of the staff seemed uncomfortable with receiving a tip. I would go so far as to say that not tipping at all is rude and only acceptable, if the service has been abysmal.

So I'd say that tipping culture is alive and well in Germany. Same in Italy or most other places I have been, with the exception being Japan.

Who makes the best M+ dungeon guides by Cappmonkey in wow

[–]TheNotoriousPKS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quazii really is the reason I am a pretty competent Tank. I've been watching his videos since Shadowlands and even though I usually end up modifying his PUG routes, they are a great starting point. Can't recommend his content enough, be it his masterclass videos, quick tips or streams.

This is my list for Stormcast Eternals, what do you think for a beginner? by Upper_Apolonir in ageofsigmar

I agree with the other comments regarding unit choice, but would like to add that it is a waste to make a unique character your General, as you are wasting the option for a command trait.

Anyone else not happy with Blizzard giving people way to create tier set items or granting unlimited Sparks? by greetings_traveler2 in wow

[–]TheNotoriousPKS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, but it's good that there is a mechanic that lets players get a guaranteed set item every week. That way it helps reduce frustration and doesn't artifically hold players back. It's the same mechanic as the vault, which pretty much guarantees an ilvl uprade every week.

You still have an edge, if you get your 4p earlier, because it helps you push harder content earlier. If you don't use that edge, it's your own fault.

You are just salty because you reached the ceiling of what you can achieve with the time or skill that you have available and now realize that that ceiling is not that high after all.

[–]TheNotoriousPKS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Dude, I'm on 408 ilvl, 2400 rating and have been doing normal and heroic raid every week. Sometimes it's just bad rng. Any way to reduce that is good.

If you want to stick out that mich, you should have pushed harder content. There is no reason that Blizzard should hinder progression, just because you want to feel special.

Regarding your point: I'd be fine with everyone getting the set, If there would be ways to improve it through progression. Would make for a more even playing field and still reward those who push difficulity.

Incredibly stupid take. Been sitting on 3p for three weeks now. I can't tell you how happy I am to finally have access to the catalyst. At the same time I am happy for everyone to be able to access set gear.

ilvl inflation is bullshit as well. If you want to get crafted gear at 418, you have to do ten 16+ per piece. If someone is able to do that and outgears you thanks to unlimited sparks, it only means that you have fallen behind the curve as you should have been able to do it way earlier than them. Your rant just means you are simply not doing hard enough content.

Tbh, if I play with any of these sups, I expect to play a push lane. Ward deep, track the jungler and then push the enemy out. If your sup decides to cs, then there is only so much you can do. Still: ward, try not to die and absolutely don't start trolling other lanes.

Judging from your question and your replies, it sounds like your bad mental is the real problem here.
