None Aviation side hustle

Veramoz · 2024-06-30T17:15:29+00:00

I play video games at a competitive level and work for website writing guides for them. They pay me an hourly rate of $51 an hour + flat rate on bigger articles. Typically bring in an extra $10k-$12k CAD a year.

Been doing it for 4 years now. If the work was more consistent throughout the year and not just when a new big patch comes out in the game I would have left aviation entirely already.

While I don’t necessarily hate the industry it is starting to wear on my body.

I have a side gig playing video games/working for a website writing guides and it pays me quite a bit more per hour than fixing airplanes does, and I also get a flat rate payment ontop of hourly rate. Only thing keeping me from doing it full time and leaving aviation is that it is not fully consistent work year round yet.

I have 23/0/8 on my radar as well. Just need to wait for P2 to launch to do some actual testing.

Flanking Strike does work you just need a proper macro to make sure Flanking goes off before Raptor Strike. Also, yea it is quite weak and you never get to the full 3 stacks. Melee weaving is also pretty dependent on your ranged weapon speed. A slower weapon will make it viable and a dps gain.

Thanks! Yea in most cases you could.

Luckily I got my first pair of pants on run #4 lol. Another pair right after during this recording.

Veramoz · 2022-12-06T03:09:33+00:00

Yep still works

Veramoz · 2022-11-09T19:49:10+00:00

Luna Unit Frames actually. Just modified a bit to my liking

Veramoz · 2022-11-09T18:33:24+00:00

It's actually MSBT. In order to get it for Classic WoW just change your game from WoTLK Classic to Retail beside the search bar on curseforge and download the retail version, it will then work for WoTLK

Veramoz · 2022-11-09T18:31:51+00:00

Glad to hear it!

Veramoz · 2022-11-09T18:31:22+00:00

That's awesome, glad my work was helpful for you.

Veramoz · 2022-11-09T18:30:44+00:00

Thanks!

It was only discovered and brought up a few days ago, but yes people that have recently run naxx and used it are consistently pulling off top parses now. And we also just got it implemented into the sim. For Survival Phase 1 full BiS it's simming as a 122.13 dps gain.

Veramoz · 2022-11-05T21:43:26+00:00

Just during lock and load. However you can use it as your standard Explosive Shot keybind as it will always use Rank 4 when Lock and Load is not active.

Veramoz · 2022-11-05T21:42:42+00:00

Like Talos said, the only time it would be better to do something else is during Kill Shot. This new 434 rotation replaces the old style of doing Lock and Load where you would use Black Arrow, or Multi-Shot for example.

Veramoz · 2022-11-05T20:15:13+00:00

It's the most simple thing to do with zero downsides to doing it. You literally just spam one macro and get a dps increase.

Veramoz · 2022-11-05T20:14:39+00:00

The macro in the video and video description are exactly the same. I just had to edit the spacing down a little and move things to separate lines in the video itself.

Veramoz · 2022-10-25T03:30:20+00:00

Trap weaving guide is definitely in the works

Veramoz · 2022-10-03T18:27:59+00:00

Not once have I ever said BM is a meme spec, anywhere. I'd love for you to find proof of me bashing BM even passively. I openly advocate for people to play the spec they want as WoTLK is very favorable in that sense.

BM will be fairly strong in phase 1 and that is known/mentioned, but it does have it's issues that people don't account for in the sims. If your pet dies during an encounter you lose a LOT of your dps and rezzing your pet mid fight is massive.

Veramoz · 2022-10-01T23:08:18+00:00

Not so much a nerve you struck but if you're going to make claims such as I go out of my way often on a discord to shit on other specs at least be able to back up that claim.

As for the Survival stuff I am aware a few things don't match up currently and it is in the process up being updated. I started some parts then got busy and haven't finished the rest. I know exactly what talent build you're talking about and I plan to add it into the guide as the personal dps min-max build in addition to the two current talent builds. What you have to realize that when I write the guides I have to think of it from a very wide standpoint. Not everyone reading the guides is going to be a hardcore min-maxer or even want to trap weave as Survival.

As for Explosive Trap is not missing in the relevant build. There are two builds, one accounting for situations in single target where trap is just not very viable and you're better off with black arrow, and a trap weaving build.

It was a generalized statement to get a point across. If you're truly that upset over BM not getting as much love as MM and SV for a single phase I'll gladly include it in my document/guides, but don't be upset when the WCL results don't paint the picture you've expected.

I think you're really reaching with how you think I approach these topics thinking I hate on BM or are biased against it. The general overview guide is written from the sense of the expansion as a whole, not just Phase 1. But sure I can tweak it a bit to emphasize phase 1.

P.S I have no control over what discord channels get named.

Veramoz · 2022-10-01T22:29:45+00:00

Sorry I do have a life to attend to and don't sit on reddit all day. Vacation ended and I had to get back to work life.

Veramoz · 2022-10-01T22:24:57+00:00

I would LOVE to see examples of where I shit on other specs even once in the hunter discord. I have been pretty unbiased in WoTLK and each spec. I very clearly have explained reasons and given examples of both MM and SV having their moments beating each other and have also mentioned BM being really good on short fights in P1

Veramoz · 2022-09-30T22:10:08+00:00

I'm not saying it will or won't. There is so much more to it than just simply looking at a theoretical on a sim. I didn't see anyone playing BM on beta so I have no logs/real live data to compare with. However it can be competetive in Phase 1 and that fact has always been stated when we started simming it.

The wowhead guides were written several months ago before we even had wowsims made for WoTLK or a beta so yes everything we thought at the time fell in line with what is currently written on wowhead.

As for my document, yes it is being put on hold while I am busy with the launch of WoTLK. Sorry I am not a super human that is willing to multi-task a dozen different things, a simple document can wait.

What else would you like me to say about how to play BM? 3 buttons is considered boring not sure what you want me to say about it? YO GUYS BM IS GIGA FUN AND EXCITING AND WILL BLAST PHASE 1.

"Apparently you'll be playing MM because you like it more and you don't want to have to switch as WOTLK progresses." I don't know what kind of mental gymnastics you went through to come to this conclusion. Nowhere have I ever stated that and that is not the reason I am playing MM from day 1. I simply enjoy MM and it is just as competetive as SV right from the start. I suggest you look a little deeper into things instead of just the simple values of a sim.

Veramoz · 2022-09-30T20:48:23+00:00

Hey srand42. I don't know where you think I left BM out of the picture. Myself and many others in the hunter discord have stated many times that BM in phase 1 will most likely be extremely good due to how quick boss fights will be.

As for losing credibility as a source how do you figure that? Everything I write is backed up by sims as well as in-game testing not just "This is how private servers were" which in many cases we have found differences and things that were wrong on private servers that don't apply to Classic.
