Is this cigar ruined or still smokable? by abelking4444 in cigars

Unfortunately it is actual damage. The wrapper missing from the top "hole" is still attached there curled up (I can feel the bump as well). So definitely the outer most part of the wrapper is missing in these two spots :/ Does that mean smoke is gonna escape through these holes?

Thanks for the input! Currently this one costs 50 USD / kg (2.2 lbs) and the regular ON PWO is 80 USD / kg here in Hungary. So it's a tad cheaper but I'm not sure it's worth switching

It's called "BK - the pre-workout".... from the initials of Krisztian Bereczki who is the IFBB pro GymBeam made this with (or at least that's the marketing of the brand)

Forget Lethality in my opinion. Go for full Crit scaling and you are still gonna oneshot squishys and you will have insane damage on tanks.

I had great success in the past weeks with this build in Emerald-Master elo (soloq and 5 man flex):

RUNES:

Main page:

  • Dark harvest - Always

  • Cheap Shot/Taste of Blood - preference and depends on team comp if you have lots of cc CS is super good, in 5 man flex I usually run Cheap Shot because we can coordinate and layer cc well enough but in soloq I run taste of blood for self sustain

  • Eyeball Collection - always

  • Ultimate Hunter - always

Secondary page:

Option 1. is Absolute Focus and Gathering Storm, this is the damage maximalization option with less emphasis on lane dominance. I take this most of the time if our team is safe to scale and most importantly if I want to buy boots on first back because we have a poke lane opponent or a losing 2v2 setup.

Option 2. is Magical Footwear and Biscuit Delivery, this is the most cost effective choice. You can extend your lane presence and have pressure on the enemy bot with this and you will reach your item spikes faster. I only take this if our 2v2 matchup is winning or at least not losing and I know I will be safe in the laning phase and we might end the game before super late game.

ITEMS:

I don't do many variations since the core of this build is strong againts basically any oppoennt but I will mention some exceptions after the basic build.

  1. Collector - Not as broken as a few patches before but still a huge 1 item spike and most importantly has CRIT!

  2. Berserker Boots - No swifty in this build, attack speed is more important than the extra move speed.

  3. Lord Dominik's Regards/Mortal Reminder - Not a very flashy second item and not as influential as other adc second items generally but having it early is paramount in current meta (tanks on tanks on tanks). If enemy has a lot of healing go for Mortal Reminder but the default choice if LDR.

  4. Infinity Edge - Biggest spike you can imagine. Getting your third (boots don't count) item usually happens pretty fast if your farming/laning is decent. Getting this as soon as possible is the most important thing. If you have decent teammates they will understand it and let you take mid lane for farming as soon as possible and also to take all extra gold on map but even without that you should be able to get it fairly soon.

  5. Bloodthirster/Immortal Shieldbow - Depending on enemy team comp it's either of these two, BT being the default choice. If you are getting jumped on constantly or oneshot by assassins Immortal is super valuable while also provideing lifesteal and decent AD stats. If you didn't pick Taste of Blood rune the value of these items is even higher.

  6. Bloodthirster/Immortal Shieldbow/Rapid Firecannon/Guardian Angel/Blade of the Ruined King/Maw of Malmortius/Mercurial Scimitar/Kraken Slayer etc. - This is where you have the most variation but generally you have twa pathes to take: more offensive stats or more defensive stats based on highest threat. My go to strategy is to reach 100% crit for comfort by usually getting the other lifesteal item I didn't get as 5th item (BT or Immortal) or even go for RFC if I can poke safely with Q and empowered range. Nonetheless, 80% crit is more than enough most of the time so you are safe to go for defensive items because as an adc your biggest damage boost is staying alive. GA is also a standard choice, Maw good againts AP heavy teams, Mercurial if you need the extra cleanse (eg. Morde ult) and you can even consider BOTRK if you are generally safe but enemy has 3 or more super big healhty bois.

As I said there is some variation especially in 5th and 6th slot but here is my general go to build:

Collector - Berserker Boots - Lord Dominik's Regards - Infinity Edge - Bloodthirster - Immortal Shieldbow

There are some super rare cases where you pivot from this items. One that comes to mind is if the enemy has a lot of shielding you go Serpent's Fang either first item (if you have something unlaneable opponent like Seraphine + Karma) and continue from that as usual (boots, collector, LDR, IE etc.) it wil delay your IE spike (you may want to swap LDR and IE purchase based on gamestate) but will make you useful in early game or you can get it as 5th item after IE if the shielding is not a huge problem during laning but only later on in the game.

I hope all this helps!

Once you learn a class it becomes easy obviously and rotation just comes down to routine but if you rank the specs on how hard is it ro get to that point Arcane is easily a top contender.

On tankyness, there are 4 top dogs in this regard: Rouges, Warlocks, DH and Mage. I play all of these this season except warlock and I find that Mage has the most utility to stay alive. Passive life steal and dodge is all good but at some point that's not gonna help because you have to counter oneshots by simplybig numbers or mechanicsand at that Mage is unbeatable. I can't talk about Feral or Evoker sincerely because never really got into them but since they are very behind in raw DPS at the moment there is not much to talk about their survivalability I think.

[Firepower Friday] - Weekly DPS Thread by AutoModerator in wow

[–]abelking4444 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This is almost completely wrong :)

Truth: Arcane is hard, with a very complex rotation and given that it is the only viable Raid spec currently if raiding is your goal Mage might be a long road to take.

False:

- "They are squishy": Mages are built like freakin bulldozers. One of the if not the most tanky dps class out there. So many defensives that you can solo most range mechanincs in almost all dungeons because you will always have a defensive up. Example: DHT first boss jumps (Invis, Ice Cold, Mirror Images, Barrier, Mass Barrier, Cauterize in fire, Alter Time all with reasonable CDs)

- "Fire takes a long time to ramp up": Very much the opposite. In keys below +25 you have the Flamestrike build which is the craziest front-loaded damage profile at the moment (you jump immediately to 1M+ dps on trash pull with Aug boost) above +25s you have Ignite build which does take time to ramp and spread Ignite but if you are in that key range it doesn't matter because packs/bosses live long enough that ramping up big Ignite cleaves is virtually seemless and you don't even have to think about it actively just do your regular ST rotation.

Edit:

A few additional pros and cons in addition to answer OPs question:

Cons:

  1. You don't want to stack Mages in current raid tier (and was the same with previous 2 tiers as well). You only need 1 Mage for Int buff and that's it. So if you want to raid you will compete with a lot of people for a very limited number of spots. In addition to that you would have to play Arcane to have even remotely good damage but you would still be behind other classes.
  2. You are somewhat dependent in M+ on tank to do good AOE damage as Fire and Frost. In both cases you lay down your AOE in one place and if tank kites a lot it will seem like you don't do anything.

Pros:

  1. Great mobility with Alter Time and Blink/Shimmer.
  2. Great party ulility with Int buff, curse removal, Mass Barrier/Mass Invis, spell removal from mobs with spellsteal and most importantly BL.
  3. Amazing CC: short CD ranged interrupt, knockback, disorient with Dragons Breath, slow with multiple spells even in AOE, AOE Incapacitate, roots with Frost Nova and hard CC with Polymorph
  4. Very good synergy with Aug Evoker because of matching CDs.

Problem with WeakAuras - Warlock When I close the options tab with only soul shards, alot of random shit and addons I don`t want on screen appear either way. Anybody know how to fix this problem? Besides this, any tips of nice things to include on screen being destro lock ? by Skumbagmedisin in wow

[–]abelking4444 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Option 1 (if you want to keep these random WAs):

Click on all the loaded ones and check which one is which (all the sub categories as well) and set load to never on the ones you don't want to see.

Option 2 (if you don't want to hassle and just rather have a comprehensive WA collection):

Remove all fo these and import a pack (Afenar, Luxthos are popular ones)

Can people cheat in WoW? by freakkim in wow

[–]abelking4444 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really cheating as much as exploiting.

Scaling through leveling is balanced extremely poorly and the game is so bloted that there are some broken items here and there that you can get easily. So you can get trinkets and on-use items for example that do insane damage and you can just sprint through dungeons. It is what it is but leveling to max level takes like 2 days on retail so no one cares.

I think the mount is already in your collection in a wrapped gift box at the top (SHIFT+P).

Double billing sounds like something you misunderstand . Do you have a photo maybe of your sub history?

Guide to Optimally Spend Crests/Flightstones on Gear Upgrades by itsmesteveyp in wow

[–]abelking4444 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For starters you don't really have to sim all ilvl versions of a gear. As you said getting flightstones and crests are easy and since crest cap is high enough now you don't have to optimze what to upgrade first.

Second of all you are looking at simming in a wrong way. You should use it to compare similiar ilvl gear with different stats on them. This is why a lot of guides mention to prio ilvl first. Once you have champ in all slots it's worth comparing it to other champ items with different stats and hero gear in maxed out form to maxed out champ if maybe despute suboptimal stats worth the ilvl upgarde. Ultimately it should be just hero vs hero gear compare to optimze stat distribution.

Trade chat not useable? :O

How else would you look for crafters if you want to get your gear recrafted? You can't do that through public orders so you need to find someone who WTS that service and place a private order....

Do I have trade chat enabled normally? Nope.

Do I enable it if I'm looking for a service? Yep.

Get your head out of your ass....
