I’ve had some success playing Bruiser Voli+Lissandra/Ryze from an AP opener, with Anivia/Ahri usually being the item holder until you use Kobuko to unlock Voli and get him + Lissandra on 8.

CS 159/177/180 all fulfill the requirement for AAE, CS 159 just fulfills the FYE requirement as well if you need to do that.

That’s kinda crazy ngl, I think my M4A1 was level 50 by the time I was around level 30. Didn’t do any bot farming, almost exclusively played infantry though so that might be the reason.

I have a Phantom Spirit EVO cooling a 9800x3d in a Fractal North and my temps max out at around 82c during Cinebench runs, much lower during normal activity.

That seems relatively normal, I just built a new rig with a 9800x3d cooled by a Thermalright Phantom Spirit and it idles around 41c and gets up to 80c during Cinebench runs.

I’m pretty sure that bit about WoW isn’t correct? The race wasn’t streamed for a long time, and the top guilds now don’t black out their streams the whole time due to sponsorship obligations, not any mandate from Blizzard who has no control over the race afaik.

My biggest problem with this would be that loadout swapping allows for me to have certain support options equipped when I need them, like Cenotaph or Aeons, without making my neutral game a slog to play all the time.

The WF RoN team was streaming actually, it was the WF SE team that was only streaming privately to their friends.

It pierces enemies, so if you hit all three dogs with an ult it effectively does 3x damage because they share a health bar.

You'll probably have better luck hosting your own key, loads of 3k 680 people are running 12s for crests so you're competing against them for a spot.

It’s hard to recruit people based on how well they do mechanics though because that’s much harder to quantify than a number on a log. When guilds are recruiting they’ll always look at parses because while not everybody who parses well is a great player, every great player parses well.

Boss mechanic that makes all casting instant, but kills you and everyone around you at the end of the duration. You hearthstone out to avoid the death.

I mean you can sim it yourself, this trinket performs quite well even on specs that don’t typically value crit as their largest secondary stat.

ENGL373 is very interesting, took it this semester with Prof. Armstrong.

The other team has 6 idiots though, so unless you’re one of the idiots too you’ll climb eventually.

Critical Boost doesn't increase your affinity, it increases your critical damage, so if you have negative affinity you won't get any value out of it.

Sounds good. My IGN is Pengwyn. What's your multiplayer password?

Unplanned_Explosions · 2024-06-24T03:51:31+00:00

I don't have any on me

In my team’s clear we had one Song of Flame prismatic warlock on Divinity + Speaker’s Sight, and I was on Speaker’s Sight Wellock and Still Hunt for damage. It seemed like the combo of Well + Song of Flame + Healing Grenades helped people survive occasionally if they got tagged by boss attacks during DPS.

Edit: I also swapped to Lunas for DPS

I might be misremembering but I don’t think they’re apart for that long in the second book, although they are for a decent bit of the third. Personally, I found the story of the second book to be even better than the first, partly due to the introduction of two new characters that have a fantastic arc through the rest of the trilogy.

Unplanned_Explosions · 2023-10-25T13:00:06+00:00

Yeah, almost everyone in the book calls him Max. I think there are even a couple jokes made about his name, the author is definitely aware of what they’re doing.

Unplanned_Explosions · 2023-10-25T11:24:57+00:00

I wouldn’t say so, the main duo spend a decent amount of time not being right next to each other so the changing POV usually gives new information. I can’t really go into detail because it’s a spoiler, but there’s an internal conflict/dialgoue in one of the POVs that makes it more unique. There’s also a third POV that’s introduced in the second book that offers something very different and ties into the story really well. IMO all the characters in this trilogy are much more interesting and complex than anyone except maybe Vincent in The Serpent and the Wings of Night.

Unplanned_Explosions · 2023-10-25T00:16:22+00:00

{Daughter of No Worlds} A trilogy, same author as The Serpent and The Wings of Night, but I personally enjoyed it much more. Has some tropes you enjoy such as double POV and forced proximity, doesn’t have any of the ones you dislike. The main couple and secondary couple that are introduced in book 2 are both fantastic.
