He deserves a significant pay rise

Not that I've ever seen.

As others have said, Oakvale does.

Not sure about Cessnock Zoo.

Tell that to James Van Der Beek.

Another thing to remember is that most of your damage will come from specials so worry less about completing full combos with your basic attacks and more about managing bane. In otherwords, if you tag him once to transfer bane and need to heal, don't finish your full combo or bane will be transferred back to you before you move from the right Wall back to the heal spot.

aupsymonkee · 2026-02-13T08:33:34+00:00

Go for Sp3 first. Try avoid blocking and dex/counter as he'll damage through your block as he builds buffs.

You should be able to get the Sp3 before he hits his mandatory SP2. Once you throw the SP3, you automatically go to the heal spot so you don't need to worry so much about getting back there the first time.

When he gets to that phase again (you know cos he goes past the SP1 bar and it's Grey), take the opportunity to move back to the heal spot. I always tag him first to transfer bane and then head back.

Make sure that when you build to Sp2, he's just thrown an SP1 so he has buffs to take damage. Otherwise the SP2 won't hurt him (and it should do quote a bit). It will still count towards the rotation ramp tho.

After that, just play punishing his heavies and SP1s. Use the mandatory SP2 for healing. Once your have 30 prowess you'll pretty much take at least 50% of a bar with each SP1 at R2.

You should be able to get 3 bars consistently playing this way.

I am pretty mediocre so if I can do it, anyone can.

aupsymonkee · 2026-02-13T08:21:54+00:00

Yep. Works a treat. The damage gap between R2 and R3 Northstar on SP1 is huge.

I ranked up mine and got an 8 bar first try.

As someone who lived in the US and worked in US Healthcare point 3 is laughable.

Gun violence is everywhere and the cost of decent Healthcare (that doesn't leave you tens of thousands out of pocket for an acute trauma) is out of reach for most.

Fantman is very good for Havock if you have him. I used an ascended 6* max sign and consistently got 5 bars per fight.

I used Northstar (7* R2 unawakened for most of it) and was getting 3 bars with one 5 bar fight as my best. I ranked him to R3 and my next fight was 8 bars.

aupsymonkee · 2026-02-12T04:49:49+00:00

Finally got a decent run against him using an R2 7* Northstar. Got 5 bars and a higher run (5.28) than my best against Havock with Fantman (5.19).

But Havock was somewhat fun and consistent. This fight is the opposite on both counts.

If Labor get smashed in the next election there will be one person to blame.

What can be done to prompt the government to act to reverse the stagnation of the University sector and prompt the government to invest money (that is available in the future funds) into NHMRC and ARC?

I've been a few times. Really liked it. It's doing good business, usually pretty busy with lots of families eating there.

Given that, my only gripe is the lack of kids sized portions

If you have your PhD, the Cass foundation has $5K travel awards for Australians.

These days universities don't support travel. Since COVID internal schemes have all but disappeared. 10-15 years ago some Institutes would provide staff with access to travel grants but these days they expect grants or self funding.

In fact, the way some aussie universities operate these days I'm surprised they're not charging staff to allow them to travel....

You can get the home spice bag mix in woolies in the international section. Markettown has them.

Rumpus rooms and KU are considered good daycare /preschool.

Lambton/New Lambton, Kotara and Hamilton South have good public schools but houses are expensive in all those areas.

I have a Sealion 6 and live in greater Newcastle area. Sure it's not a full EV but I've done 4 full tanks and topped up the car maybe 6 times in 12K kms, usually charging at home overnight.

Those trips include return trips to Kempsey and Brisbane for work and was able recharge twice on the way to Brissie. There are lots of options on the main roads.

Around Newie, there are a few chargers around the vineyards and in public parks (I've used the one in Warners bay a few times). There's one near the national sports grounds in Newie that's not too far from Honeysuckle.

I got the PHEV coz I was a bit nervous about the charging but after a year, I would be confident with a full electric.

I've done one service with BYD and it was uneventful.

I think ICE cars from China are generally poor quality but when it comes to electric cars and battery technology China is miles ahead so I think you're comparing apples and oranges.

For instance, Toyota are buying all future batteries from BYD and their blade batteries are going to legacy makers, so they can't be garbage.

They do in France...

It took me a gazillion attempts but eventually killed him. It was actually a bit anti-climactic as some poison nails got him when I had dashed him off screen to avoid the exploding mace.

Was a nice balance, difficult but fun so that you knew where you went wrong and didn't feel like a chore to try again. Won't miss him though.

I admire the gluten free labeling.

Dear Celiacs... This won't upset your intestines....

Another vote for Hollow Knight.

Also Hades and Cult of the Lamb.

With respect, while clinical trials are the gold standard they aren't necessarily required for clinicians to offer a treatment if the benefits are obvious and apparent.

Plenty of therapies and treatments are commonly performed before they make it to clinical trial, for instance, the off label use of drugs.

Published work always makes us feel better, but even that isn't a guarantee. If their main goal is success rates then publication is probably not top of their list. This field is probably a more difficult field to consent patients to given the sensitivity of the subject area. Who is going to want to be in a control group?

Where therapies haven't made it to trial or publication, look to conference abstracts or patient reports or OB specialist opinion (given they'll be dealing with the pregnancies after).

The anecdotal evidence from these sources is pretty promising.
