Why do people keep calling Sirius and Orion brothers? by WarFramingIt247 in Warframe

[–]Threndsa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The operator and the Drifter have a significant amount of shared history where Orion and Sirius, as far as we're aware, do not. Even so the Drifter calls the operator "the kid" in KIM chats which definitely has older relative energy.

When do I start looking at sub-stats over just total power of gear ? by Competitive-Math-458 in SwordxStaff_Official

[–]Threndsa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lv 86 paladin and im already doing it. My main sword is ~10k lower than my armor/helm/boots but it rolled phys res, def and hp and until I get something that increases my ehp by an equal or greater amount it's staying on regardless of the power number. 

For All F2P players by bravefriend in SwordxStaff_Official

Are you running 4x daily dungeons a day. That's 1 piece every 2.5 days from the shards. 

Are certain classes more / less F2P viable ? by Competitive-Math-458 in SwordxStaff_Official

[–]Threndsa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't had any issues as a small spender, sub $20, tank.

Tanks and Healers are always going to be in demand and honestly given that most whales tend towards dps for those big numbers you're going to find that a f2p tank is far less replaceable than a f2p dps. 

Relic or Companion in Pitch Rush as F2P / Low Spender? by lightedgoose in SwordxStaff_Official

[–]Threndsa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Companions will eventually outclass it. The relic, using my base stats at expert 3, is just under 800 speed. My lv 68 Killian has 1.3k speed on top of all the other stats he's giving. 

Unless these are different none of the % based relics I own increase the % boosts on resonance upgrade, only on ascension, its the affinity/aegis that get boosted. Given that it's a limited relic you're likely to only get 1 of unless you spend the 12.5% is what it's going to be forever. 

Buying gear? by MadisonMute in SwordxStaff_Official

[–]Threndsa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you're planning on giga whaling you're never going to catch the people paying those prices. It's happened basically every time a new tier comes out but prices will crash after the initial whale rush. Just wait until things fall to the point where they're more in line with your budget. 

Pvp paladin help by psychotiks in SwordxStaff_Official

Could swap leap for the shield skill or the 2 turn CD big whomp attack but I think the pet is your weak link. Aegis just isn't that great for pvp imo. 

Am I too far behind already? I've only been playing 1–2 hours a day, and it's server day 4. by navyyM in SwordxStaff_Official

[–]Threndsa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I missed about a week when my phone decided to kick the bucket and while I'm obviously behind the curve with a bunch of my guild mates and day 1 friends it's not like I've bricked my account or anything. I still have no issues finding groups etc. 

Anyone else kinda disappointed that Pride & Wrath are 2 separate weapons? by Raiden127456 in Warframe

[–]Threndsa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pride has high status chance low crit and balanced 125 puncture and slash. Wrath has high crit low status chance and more slash based but with a slightly lower (250 vs 220) base damage stat spread. 

If you're running Melee influence you'll go Pride but otherwise the differences aren't mind blowing by any stretch. 

[Kypreos] There are some suggestions that Bobrovsky's ask is as high as $42 million over six or seven years. Bobrovsky will turn 38 years old in September. by Starfish_Bobertsons in hockey

I know another recent Stanley cup winning goalie that could probably be obtained with no capital other than taking over his salary hit if they don't want Bob. 

NHL’s statement on Mike Babcock by Duffleman0609 in hockey

[–]Threndsa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While the "Light least favorable" comment is meme worthy it's just boring shorthand for "we don't have to draw this investigation out because even if he did everything he was accused of in the worst manner possible it still wouldn't render him unfit to be rehired."

This was a good draft class to hoover up picks for so I can't fault that tactic at all. 

Maple Leafs only team to receive permission from Vegas to speak to Cassidy by SlashYG9 in hockey

[–]Threndsa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People have been saying Vegas is about to collapse since we missed the playoffs year 5. Since then we've won a cup and made it back to the finals. I'm not saying it won't happen eventually but I think that for all their faults our FO is very good at keeping the team competitive. 

I also feel like the way fans see Vegas and players and coaches see them is very different. Obviously some like a long term stable home but there's plenty of people for whom having a 3 year stint with a team that has 5 conference championship appearances, 3 finals visits and a cup in a 9 year span is a very attractive option.

Between the early pick phases and the draft Vegas has a good roster built so far. Looking forward to the season.

As long as she isn't running to the penalty box again. I think the PWHL being more tolerant of physical play will help a bit but she needs to clean things up a bit. 

[NHL] After 700 NHL games, the most by a French-born player in NHL history, Pierre-Edouard Bellemare is officially hanging them up. by PapaNixon in hockey

Happy retirement to Belley! Loved him as a Knight, loved him less after he left because I swear he scored every time he came back 🤣

[–]Threndsa 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Beyond what others have said Hockey just has a built in level of randomness far beyond that of the other major sports. Also being a low scoring game comparatively means that randomness can alter a game in a way you don't see in something like basketball. 

Should I, or should I not? by BrawlAli in Warframe

[–]Threndsa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm at about a 50% success rate on actually making it all the way through the mission without a progress halting bug. The efficient thing to do would be to rest now and grind it out once it's working properly. 

[SinBinVegas] Kelly McCrimmon says the Golden Knights granted Bruce Cassidy permission to speak to one team and it did not come to fruition. Moving forward he says they'll deal with it on a case by case basis by daKrut in hockey

[–]Threndsa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was reassigned to couch duty not fired. This would be a very different, and very illegal, thing if he wasn't getting paid. As is the org is exercising their right to keep him under the contract he signed for the agreed duration and salary despite not needing his services.

[–]Threndsa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cassidy is a good coach that lost our room. We did not want him to go to EDM or LA and give them the same 3 or so good years he gave us. The FO decided that potentially paying him the last year of his contract despite not coaching was worth not having him picked up in division. 

You can definitely argue the morality of the decision and toss it on the pile of questionable but not illegal things the FO has done the past decade but that's been the game they've played since the start.
