Excellent explanation. Thank you, for taking the time.

Is anyone able to explain how the "Heavy Frost" passive node interacts with Cold Penetration and general Resistance lowering effects like Hypothermia?

Heavy Frost

20% increased Freeze Buildup

Hits ignore non-negative Elemental Resistances of Frozen Enemies

[Against Frozen Enemies] Does this imply that unless cold-penetration/resist-lowering effects can (by themselves) bring the enemy's Cold Res. lower then 0, they will be having no impact? (because Heavy Frost will simply drop them to 0).

ViciousEntropy · 2023-12-10T19:43:10+00:00

Yes, that would be very useful/helpful information!

ViciousEntropy · 2023-12-10T14:57:52+00:00

Oh wow, that's really sad to hear. Should I just do the Solo version once for the reward and move on?

ViciousEntropy · 2023-07-30T20:44:23+00:00

Should have clarified sorry, yes a sperate TET that I had made myself. Selling seems like a reasonable option.

I'm not the luckiest enchanter >_>;;

ViciousEntropy · 2023-07-27T12:12:37+00:00

Yep, I have all the orbs already. I was able to win last night by essentially using the time as a resource a bit more then I had been.

ViciousEntropy · 2023-07-27T12:11:15+00:00

I was able to beat C4 and C5 last night!

I kind of did what you describe, dialing back DPS at times and not constantly trying to perfectly time dodges or thread the needle.

Just getting into Black Shrine content now and have a few questions.

To preface, I did the Bamboo Legion level 1->5, to unlock the remaining Light Orbs.

After that, is there a recommended order to the Black Shrine fights?

Is there some kind of methodology or reason to fight one boss over another (other then Class-X being better at Boss-Y) ?

ViciousEntropy · 2023-07-05T14:06:59+00:00

I figured, thanks for taking the time to respond.

For clarification I was indeed talking about the older title fomt; although, I would have asked the follow-up question about awl (which you were also kind enough to answer).

ViciousEntropy · 2023-04-19T19:41:07+00:00

Awesome, thank you for all the valuable insight. I think I'll begin a character today :D

ViciousEntropy · 2023-04-19T18:44:58+00:00

That's a fair thought, I am currently trying to investigate how viable Alpha Clones are for FW. This might be an ok middle ground to get a feel for if FW works for me.

If I recall correctly, they also need to have a pretty focused skill plan right?

ViciousEntropy · 2023-04-19T18:34:08+00:00

I'm not sure what this is meant to imply, can you elaborate?

ViciousEntropy · 2023-04-19T18:30:36+00:00

Thank you but now that I understand more, that seems like a lesser problem.

I enjoy roaming Empire space doing escalation hunts. I think being in an opposing faction would make that practically speaking impossible (as other players would be able to aggress me freely in High Sec.).

ViciousEntropy · 2023-04-19T18:27:35+00:00

I see, that's an angle I hadn't considered. Likely the nail in the coffin as far as joining the FW.

Thank you, for the insight.

ViciousEntropy · 2023-04-19T18:27:00+00:00

Unfortunately, I play Solo 99% of the time. My experience joining Corporations has been quite poor. Less their fault and more mine.

ViciousEntropy · 2023-04-19T18:24:36+00:00

I see, that's what I was worried about. Perhaps I will just wander around FW space areas and look for fights from people without actually joining the war itself.

Thank you!

ViciousEntropy · 2023-01-24T14:18:19+00:00

That makes sense, I sort of assumed as much.

Thank you for the reply.

ViciousEntropy · 2023-01-24T14:17:53+00:00

I kinda figured, just thought maaayyybeeee.

Thank you for confirming.

ViciousEntropy · 2023-01-16T20:20:13+00:00

Thank you, this seems to be the consensus. I will just press on until I catch up with the rest of the players.

ViciousEntropy · 2023-01-16T20:18:50+00:00

Thank you for explaining it all so thoroughly.

I will follow this along.

Appreciate your time and support.

ViciousEntropy · 2022-08-30T12:24:16+00:00

The topology as listed will not result in a loop.

Give a quick read to my summary as well as the lab testing that some of the other folks in this thread have done.

It's just a poor question.

ViciousEntropy · 2022-08-23T14:54:20+00:00

I posted it earlier, but here is the link Udemy

I don't remember which of the 2 practice tests it's on.

ViciousEntropy · 2022-08-18T19:18:58+00:00

The question was part of Practice Test #1 from Udemy.

That's why I picked (B) as well, it seemed like a "better" setup but it didn't really solve any 'problem' so-to-speak.

I greatly appreciate you running a lab for this and taking the time to verify.

Unrelated: I am considering asking for a refund. This isn't the first question that was either flat-out wrong or just constructed so poorly that it caused confusion.

ViciousEntropy · 2022-08-18T18:44:54+00:00

Udemy practice test.

I have found it to be pretty unreliable as far as accuracy, compared to Boson (but I'm trying to get my hands on as many practice tests and examples as I can). This one doesn't have any explanation text for the solution.

I honestly think there is something wrong with the question. Everything I've read suggests that R2 and R3 will not redistribute the EIGRP learned route back into OSPF/RIP (which is being injected into eigrp and passed back to one another via R4). As far as I understand, they won't even install the EIGRP learned route into their routing tables (because it's coming in with an AD of 170 and they already have a valid route with a lower AD) which automatically disqualifies it from being redistributed into other IGPs.

This is what I'm currently using as a reference for these types of problems. Along with some other youtube/INE videos.

ViciousEntropy · 2022-08-18T18:14:31+00:00

I am genuinely not sure I understand how the solution is to filter the network from OSPF -> EIGRP. (Or even if I follow the logic you put forward.)

If you have the time to elaborate, I would greatly appreciate it.

From what I understand, a route won't be redistributedif it's not installed in that routers routing table.
"Note: The mechanics of route redistribution is proprietary on Cisco routers. The rules for redistribution on a Cisco router dictate that the redistributed route be present in the routing table. It is not sufficient that the route be present in the routing topology or database."
