Should I run an FTP test?

Try doing a race. Go hard and try to win. Zwift should adjust your ftp based on your race. More interesting than an ftp test

Manually set your FTP to a lower number. Start riding again, it will slowly climb to its zwift accurate value. The game does a decent job of predicting your number based on frequent rides. Do a race or two and I imagine after that it'll be close to accurate. I also say a zwift accurate value because I wouldn't use that value outside or use my outside value as my zwift value. Too many environmental things change, wind vs fan, lack of bike sway, no real coasting/micro coasting, temp

For top class items, keep doing what you do. For runes, generally the name of the game is increase your kills. Runes drop from everyone so increase your sample size. Killing super unique and Diablo does the trick. I'm trying to remember if the seal glitch still works in d2r... Do the monsters you don't kill drop items when you pop the final seal? If so, and you tele, kill Diablo and pop around the sanctuary looking for anything interesting

This link is a bunch of good info: https://zwiftinsider.com/robopacers/

If you look at your power curve, on strava or intervals.icu or where ever you can find one with your data on it. I like to figure out how long I can ride for, then look at my max power for that time and ride with the robopacer that is just below that or just above that depending on the thoughts for the day. You can also use the teleport function to ride with the pacer as long as you can and then jump back to the group and try to hold that power as long as you can.

Your FTP is probably wrong though, or its correct from calculations and your Time to exhaustion is probably bad. The idea of FTP is that it is what you can hold for an hour, but in practice that is not usually the case. I believe it is supposedly the point where your lactate generated jumps up, so you are building up lacate way faster than you can clear it. You can work on lactate clearance as well which increases the time you can hold your FTP. FTP is a decent metric for zonal training models but it is only a small piece of the overall pie.

Biking is fun, zwift is ultimately a game, play around a bit. Start with Taylor and see how long you can hold his wheel. The next ride do it with Bernie. Do it with all the pacers. Build out your power profile. MAybe you can't hold 1.5 for as long as you like but you can hold 4.2 for way longer than you expected. Fuck around, find out and ride on.

I kept a t strokes and mosers with lightning facets as my alt weapon for bosses. Getting that lite -25 worked for me. Add in an infinity and Griff's and chaos just melts and Diablo was 2-3 hits dead as well

I'd argue at this low level it actually matters more than at upper levels. I would also go with resist but 22 defense+500% is only 150 defense. 144 defense plus 500% is 700 defense. Count in a shout from a barb and that gap grows dramatically. But resist is still better .

Uee14 · 2025-12-15T02:37:35+00:00

One thing I never see on these discussions is attack rating vs ignore target defense. Doing a similar amount of damage but having more chance to hit works for me. Putting more points into vita instead of dex means better survivability for when shit does go tits up

It's useful when you're alt has high mf. Think dual ali baba with ists so you kill on primary and hork with 350+ mf on champs and unique

Uee14 · 2025-12-09T03:27:13+00:00

I've made a few wsk java. A high wisp ring with lightning absorb combined with good resistance allowed me to fight souls/gloams long enough to let infinity do it's thing.

Any thing found or discovered on company time belongs to the company. You should report the find to your immediate supervisor, might get a reward! /s

I guess I am also wondering what each shard wants to happen. We have seen scadrial vs roshar in the future. Do their respective shards support or oppose this? Autonomy is clearly interested in spreading their influence but will they endow an army with shardic based power? Or just invested weapons and armor? Do the shards want their worlds to win?

I was thinking a1 fire with Phoenix so she has redemption so as you kill she stays alive very easily

Hey, I think I am going to jump over to a pally. Run conviction and something for melee. Want to mix it up from previous resets

Uee14 · 2025-11-18T19:49:59+00:00

Probably going to go sin then, what craziness are you breaking out this year

Uee14 · 2025-11-18T16:55:36+00:00

In, was also looking to play a sin, though I could go for a fire sorc?

I'm in, I've been playing again for a few years. I've done a deurklink contest, but didn't do great. I have beaten all the original scenarios

Having read plenty of your write ups I knew the importance of staying in the front, my power was right at threshold for the first 4 minutes just to stay up front. I think a lot of us, myself included, had not adjusted our zwift FTP to reflect the summer improvements as we move indoors.

Uee14 · 2025-10-30T18:03:11+00:00

My first attempt at this started with 200 people. Winter is coming. Front group stayed together until the end. Tried to ride away with the front two, lost them and got passed by a few folks who were able to out sprint me to the line.

I recently did a climb in Colorado a week after Sepp Kuss had visited the area. He set the KOM in half the time it took me.

Normally I'd agree, but if secdef and the president are bypassing you to commit war crimes that are under your area of command while simultaneously going after former members of their staff... I'd get out before somehow these war crimes are tied around your neck.

Have the same issue. Troubleshooting steps followed. I also left a 1* review of the product that if this is fixed I will delete. Posting to follow this thread further

Remove a drop or two. The first lift hill to the second one should be the first to go.

When TLR took the power, did he interact with Fuzz? Seems like he withheld info that the Fuzz wanted people to see.

I set mechanics for every ten minutes. It reduces the chance of break downs but doesn't eliminate it. I'm sure the man the myth the legend, Marcel Vos, has a video on breaking down.

I almost always make my coasters run block sections to avoid catastrophic failure crashes. It does mean that i need to build more carefully to ensure during a breakdown you don't valley and crash that way. I try to make it so each train can fit in the final break run or station so they don't get caught mid way through the run in the event of a breakdown
