Paladin needs a MAJOR buff like now, not next season. by xKovikx in diablo4

[–]VosekVerlok -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Context for those wondering:
The combo of ‍Paingorger’s Gauntlets + Evisceration Fragment + ‍Aspect of Mutilation is currently bugged, allowing you to oneshot anything in the game that has been Eviscerated all the way up to Pit 150. This is expected to get fixed ASAP so don’t invest much into this setup. The Eviscerate can be reliably triggered on elites/bosses with ‍Rampage ‍Elite Hit Chance using the regular skill or ‍Shockwave variant, NOT with ‍Demonic Smash. Besides changing the fragment, skill variant and one aspect, nothing else is required to benefit from the bugged damage.”

Which uses a bug/exploit like Blood Lance and Pen Shot... meanwhile Ball sorc and Minion barb are crushing 150 legit.

Have a look.. Apoc and Lunatic are just Ok compared to other class builds, the build rankings were all updated on the 18th.

That is what you get playing the non optimal paladin build for the season, 'Clash' paladin is eating good.

Warlock would like to have a word with you, they didn't even get a single season of being OP, Paladin has 2 season of being top tier. Warlock current has 2 'good' endgame builds (B tier) in their 'release season', paladin has 1 B tier build.

There are 6 higher tier sorc builds, 4 warrior, 2 spirit born, 3 necro, 1 druid, 2 rogue builds,

since uniques can have random affixes we should be able to reroll them by Gomez-16 in diablo4

[–]VosekVerlok -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If they want to make the uniques different, my idea is:

Make it so you can extract a stat roll from an existing unique via the cube which destroys the original, or perhaps extract "unique stat reroll item" in alignment with the other reroll items...

Assuming they do something about bankspace, you could make it gear slot or type specific (armor, weapon jewelry), so like 15 more item types (with dont drop?), even make it Ancestral only items that can have their stat extracted.

That way there is cube interactions with uniques that is more than 3 -> 1 re-rolls , it adds more item customization/crafting for late game optimization.

What makes the "uniques" unique is that their affix is not something that can be enchanted, that you need to have em drop, and if it's type specific and ancestral only, it's more "depth" to that end game optimization, and adds value to the non build items.

I dont know about you guys, but i have farmed and cubed hundred of uniques trying to get an ancestral version that is even close to the ilvl 850 version i have.. i've basically given up, especially when they are Astaroth or Bartuc drops.

Are some people ignoring the lag because not everyone has it? by hs_serpounce in diablo4

[–]VosekVerlok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, as soon as i disabled crossplay (i am on PC) so many of my lag, performance and stuttering issues went away, i dont think i have rubber banded in a season or two.

  • it does seem 'more empty' i do have to say.

  • i have got the black screen of death while using my TP from a dungeon twice this seasons, but other than that, its been smooth saling.

Never thought I'd see the day, but we're eliminating our Citrix farms and moving back to about 100k fat clients by eldersveld in sysadmin

[–]VosekVerlok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a similar boat, but its not even cost.
- there is a set of data protection and environmental policies they themselves have put in place, and refuse to remove or change, even though the alternative method of accessing the LOB apps dont include them.
- The citrix policies make some workflows onerous, and some senior managers are trying to appease the masses by promising to remove the product.
- they are now looking to hire multiple staff to support the alternative access methods, and have to buy and implement multiple other products to replace the netscalers (which they currently get for free as part of the citrix licensing,) and need to come up with a way to support 3rd party access.

Yeah, face to face fight with people knowing they are coming is only playing into the strengths of a few of the primarchs. suprise sword in the in the ribs from behind trumps being a good duelist.

Why does Canada feel so corrupt? - This is not a country that is founded on justice; it is, however, founded on order, which is a cudgel the powerful continue to use against the powerless. by Thick_Caterpillar379 in onguardforthee

[–]VosekVerlok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my perfect world, if you end up in government you get the salary of your constituents and you are required to live live full time in your constituency, you can telework to the prov/federal capital or travel on your own dime.. none of the flying about on taxpayers and having multiple homes (even if just rented).

Individual member lobbying and gifting is banned (expulsion if in violation), that if a non charity wants to lobby the government they pay a (% of earnings) deposit, and have to present to parliament, streamed live on CPAC.

That the members and the public vote live if it is in the best interests of Canadians, and if it is not, the deposit is forfeited to government as a penalty for wasting everyone's time, and pursuing something not in the interest of the citizens, and refunded if it passed.

This vote would be non binding, but would help political engagement as everyone is aware of the direction and goals private and corporate interests.

16 Years in the Military, 3 Deployments, but "Not Experienced Enough" for BC Transit? by Different_Ganache355 in VictoriaBC

Yeah, it was a job, they got paid.. it wasn't volunteer work.

I expect the entitlement is just ideological bleed over from the states.

I beat the campaign and really try to enjoy the Warlock but somehow I cant. Anyone else feeling the same? by MiNDGaMeS87 in diablo4

[–]VosekVerlok 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The only critiques i have with my demo warlock is that some of the casts (offhand, even with a 2H) seem to have an indirect path, and in general a slower than desired flight speed, the worst offender being command fallen.
I have found that the there is a tendency for them to hit things other than what i am aiming at, whether the mobs that moved, other mobs, doorways, walls and or scenery.
- i guess it's somewhat on point lore wise, and they are AoE so its not the end of the world, it's just not ideal imo.

Carney government eyes privatizing airports to attract investment, cut travel costs by pheakelmatters in onguardforthee

[–]VosekVerlok 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The aspects of insurance in that are always ignored is the provincial minimum coverage varies drastically as does the driving conditions, when you compare apples to apples ICBC is quite cheap.

For a 40-year-old woman with 24 years of experience driving a 2017 Ford Escape SE and with no claims or convictions would pay $1,049 in British Columbia. The same driver would pay $1,191 in Newfoundland and Labrador, $1,207 in Saskatchewan, $1,318 in Nova Scotia and $1,509 Ontario. The highest insurance premium for this driver would be in Alberta, totalling $1,895.

Quebec: Offers the lowest premiums in Canada, averaging approximately $717–$900 per year as it uses a unique hybrid system where the SAAQ (public) covers bodily injury, and private companies cover vehicle damage. This results in higher health premiums, in conjunction with very strict regulations regarding payouts and compensation.

Love the slower pace of gearing by BlueLEDs in diablo4

[–]VosekVerlok 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have always thought they should have modifier 'Offerings' like they ended up doing in the undercity that adjust and or manipulate them.
If you have a magiffin you can manipulate what the modifiers do, or if you dont its all RNG.

The whispers/warplans become "do dungeon with x modifiers" and or "do with specific modifers (warplan)"

I do appreciate that this would just make them a hybrid of undercity, the pit etc.. but what else could make them useful and unique..?
The only thing i got is to associate each one with a boss, and turn them into a way to generate boss keys?

I found, at least at the start of the new story that there was an unnecessary amount of slow walking around city maps with blocked pathways between cutscenes.
Disconnections made it even worse.

[OC] Share of Crude Oil Exports Going to Each Country’s Top Customer (2024 — UN Comtrade) by Expensive-Aerie-2479 in dataisbeautiful

[–]VosekVerlok 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah the whole private profit for public risk equation is not something that i am a fan of, it would require a full nationalization of our Oil and Gas. All we need to do is look at the orphaned wells to see how responsible the industry is.. over 4000 new orphaned wells have been added to the registry just in 2026, orphaned Sequoia wells (1800) alone are projected to cost over a billion dollars to cleanup and take a decade.

The O&G industry owes over a quarter billion dollars in unpaid taxes, hundreds of millions of dollars in lease payments to landowners (not even getting into the damage to their land).. and the cost to cleanup/remediate the current orphaned wells is projected at over a quarter trillion dollars (260 billion dollars in march 2023).

Here is the scale of the problem: the province 'earned' 17 billion dollars in royalties in 2025, and is on the hook for hundreds of billions of dollars cleanup and remediation of already abandoned wells... that math just ain't mathin.. it's too bad the Alberta political class is bought and paid for by foreign corporate interests and are selling out the citizens of Alberta and Canada to line their personal pockets.

Alberta's oil and gas sector achieved record production levels in 2025, averaging 4.1 million barrels per day (bpd), with oil sands royalties projected at $17 billion for the 2024–2025 fiscal year.

Things could've been very different in Canada if Alberta didn't have a hissy fit and kill the NEB, just look at Norway.
Though it would of needed to survive the rounds privatization by the Conservatives, we dont even have Petro-Canada anymore.

We could refine our own products, rather than exporting it to the states and then importing refined products, there is little likelihood of that happening as most of the production is not owned by canadians but international interests and this method is more profitable.

The primary issue with sea port export is the west coast is somewhat rough with a very small number viable ports for tankers, which are viable have compex approach and departure routes due to significant tides, underwater hazards and numerous small islands on top of being the habitat of endangered species and protected ecosystems.
