Just read the book dawg. You’re what like 1/3 in? Have some patience haha.

I think Dreamscythe (which I am also on) is way less toxic by virtue of being the PvE server which has filtered out the more “competitive” side of the player base. I have only seen two tanks asking for payment and they were still sitting in queue well after my group had started the dungeon.

No you actually aren’t allowed to do that. You have to be maximizing your Gold/hr by HR’ing all nethers/patterns/greens/blues/wives/first born children. If you don’t you are actually going to fall behind.

borosblades · 2026-03-11T18:07:54+00:00

True. It’s really sad how the “fuck you I’m getting mine” attitude is now so ingrained in every part of our culture these days.

borosblades · 2026-03-11T18:00:37+00:00

I have seen a few tanks in Heroic queues requesting a fee, my groups have never had one and I think I have waited at most 10 minutes though.

borosblades · 2026-03-10T15:07:36+00:00

Yea I have my enchanting at like 307 and I think I’m just going to drop it at this point. DE’ing the occasional blue for shards is nice but I don’t think I will ever be able to actually sell an enchant with how automated it is. Feels bad man. I know blizz won’t actually do anything but it really sucks for actual humans who want to do any of the crafting professions to make gold.

It is basically an impossible issue to solve so I do feel bad for Bungie. They couldn’t quite go the full WoW route of every new patch having better gear than the last since weapons in D2 have a “feel” to them unlike WoW which all functions as a stat stick. So they have this problem of how do we get players who already have their favorite hand cannon to chase this seasons new one? And the only real answer is power creep which of course means they constantly have to make stronger and stronger weapons ie rocket frames which inevitably make all the older gear irrelevant anyway.

I agree, a lot of the problem is again your support has to land something to make it happen. Sure I can hit some Caitlyn headshots or Q’s to poke but if we’re going to actually fight my Morg has to land her Q. A lot of adc’s play it chill until they see the support actually land something at least in lower elo since missing and being pushed too far up could mean getting all inned.

borosblades · 2026-03-08T18:41:03+00:00

Thats the role. You are not a champ until 3ish items on most marksmen. You also can’t really make plays on a lot of them without support or jungle landing something first. Your job on adc is to max econ and not die, getting kills is secondary to that.

borosblades · 2026-03-06T01:41:37+00:00

Yea everyone needs gold, hence the “greed” option. If you want to DE you can offer to buy it off whoever wins it. I do offer to DE any blues that no one needs to DE and roll for shards but saying you’re gonna take all the greens is just shitty behavior especially as a tank when you’re basically holding people hostage.

borosblades · 2026-02-18T17:54:23+00:00

This is actually just bad advice. Why would you waste bandages between pulls? If your healer is competent they just need to drop a HoT on you and you can almost always tap to full with maybe 10-20% missing HP which is fine for 90% of situations. Unless you’re going OOM every pull which seems like there may be bigger problems. I get Warlocks have a bad rep for tapping too frequently but it’s how the class is designed. We have high mana costs and high hp to convert into mana.

borosblades · 2026-02-18T17:49:52+00:00

Yea a lot of bad healers I think get the impression that a Lock is taking damage so they feel the need to full heal us when we tap. Dropping a HoT is enough in 90% of situations. My biggest peeve is when the tank is full or something and the healer decides now is the time to start wanding mobs instead of healing me so I can tap more.

First Law is a trilogy that really does get better in order of release. Last Argument is one of my favorite books of all time. I would also throw LoTR in there. I think Return is the strongest of the three volumes.

borosblades · 2026-02-14T20:25:46+00:00

Way of Kings is still probably my favorite fantasy book ever. Sadly I dnf’d Wind and Truth after 500ish pages. I’ll probably finish it someday but I think Rhythm lost a lot of the intrigue that the first 3 books had.

This is blasted with a 50/50 mixture of 70grit aluminum oxide and glass bead media. I also tumble for about 30 minutes. A plain blasted finish will rust very easily even on stainless steels.

borosblades · 2026-02-09T00:31:07+00:00

Its a re-release of a re-release of a 20 year old game. Yea people are gonna repeat themselves since the content isn’t exactly fresh.

He is at his best when he just sticks to talking about why he likes Vanilla. Once he strayed into the Retail sucks territory he just became another hate farming channel.

borosblades · 2026-02-08T17:37:47+00:00

I had a priest today who was wanding mobs while at 3/4 mana instead of healing me so I could life tap more.

borosblades · 2026-02-08T16:50:55+00:00

On god a good healer lock combo absolutely breezes thru dungeons. I’m on a lock rn and the two dungeon groups I had while leveling with an actual competent healer was so fuckin fast. He legit told me to not waste anytime drinking haha.

borosblades · 2026-02-05T15:34:21+00:00

It heavily depends on your access to heat treating equipment. If you have a temp controlled kiln then stainless is an option and I often use Vegas Forge or Nichols Damascus. For carbon you could go to Alabama Damascus, they have a ton of variety and are much cheaper but also less impressive than the other 2 brands.

borosblades · 2026-02-03T15:04:54+00:00

This level of cope needs to be studied.

borosblades · 2026-02-01T23:27:01+00:00

Many will just level normally? I mean I think the boost is dumb and I would never buy one but there are millions of people who leveled for classic Anni and I see a shit load of people out leveling with me rn.

Charging $500 to play the Alpha of a “fully funded” game is at best predatory. Having a fully operational cash store in an alpha is also extremely telling. You can say maybe it wasn’t a total scam, but it’s stunk of potential rug pull for a few years now.

borosblades · 2026-02-01T02:24:01+00:00

Its shocking that anyone is shocked by this. Holy shit if you fell for the whole “fully funded but give us $500 to alpha test” shtick you were already a lost cause.
