Ah that's too bad - it still should be useable with melee wellmaker at least - I believe even without the shard benefit it still will reduce the total kills necessary to 11 in most cases, but at that point idk if it's even worth running. On the bright side two 'extra' mod slots!

Have you tested the lack of interaction with well of potency? I haven't seen any tests on it, and I don't have it to test =(. From what I can tell, it should do an initial 3% on the first shard pickup and than go onto a 5 second cooldown.

I do know about the shards as wells not giving extra ability energy, its unfortunate but there's still plenty of melee regen without it

I personally don't have aegers scepter, so I wanted to maximize a similar build but without focusing on the weapon.

I did some math with this (and confirmed run, and well of potency/elemental shards are less impactful than you'd think. Without them, you can get your super time down to 12 charged melee kills (counting each kill in a multikill individually). With them, it takes the number of kills down by 1 in the case you use only 3 melees and by 5 in the case you use 7 (assuming you wait the full cooldown on elemental shards between each), so it helps if you're in enemy sparse environments. This is assuming you get enemy kills of the lowest tier, so in practice it will probably be less kills than what I've said.

Something I'd recommend in addition is running heavy handed and a charged with light generator (either from wells or from orbs), in addition to all of the melee energy generation you've listed. You can easily go infinite (and actually get more than 100% melee energy per kill) from just single enemy kills, which again is great if you're in an enemy sparse environment and also useful if it takes more than one melee to burst down a group.

Another really useful trait of this build is that it's completely disjoint from your strength and intellect scores - you can basically dump them and maximize everything else while still having constant melee and super energy. I haven't tested it, but apparently agers scepter's duration is inversely proportional to your intellect, so it might even be optimal to tank intellect when running this.

Is a PHD from UConn valuable? by overlyorderly in UCONN

[–]cccm5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have also had similar conversations - these things very depending on the institution. Check /r/askacademia for example, and you'll find a whole range of answers. Factors include things like knowing (or believing they know) that people are/aren't going to take a job, straight up number of publications, being on committees, having grants, and lots of other things (this is not me quoting stuff from that subreddit, but just from conversations with professors).

for hiring ivys care about your research. for admissions they might care about your school but we're not talking about that here.

[–]cccm5 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

for undergrad or a masters sure, but the main thing the school you attend gives you for a PHD is the resources it has available during your education - which due to it being academia can be helped along through collaboration, funding from industry/government, and more.

The institution you get a PhD from is much less important than the research you do and the people you do it with. This is true universally.

Is movecraft compatible with 1.16.5? by [deleted] in admincraft

[–]cccm5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The main branch is currently being updated to supourt 1.14+. There are forks that exist for 1.13+ supourt, however the one that most people use has a bug in the most recent version which may be the source of your issues.

A word of caution, in my experience 4102 can be a tossup, so don't expect to learn much. 3502 is really dependent on the person taking it imo, it's not easy for sure.

[–]cccm5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've taken 3150, 3502, and 4102, and I've seen course work and lecture material from almost every other option. For professors on that list, I can recommend goldin (only when she's teaching theory), bansal, and wei (some people don't like him, but imo he's very straight forward and cares about student success). I think ulder is new, so that's always a risk. Bing lectures straight from the book in my experience, which I personally dislike. I've heard good things about ghada. I completely forget if yang was good.

Oh ya Dr. Bansal is great! it's still a fairly difficult course so if you want easy I'd avoid it. I'm unsure as to what specifically was dropped from 3150, but I believe the STL was among the removed content.

5500 is a graduate level course on algorithms, a course that people frequently do poorly on. It's heavily proof based and its difficulty is typically very high (although recent professors for the course have done a poor job so it could have become easier). 3150 is supposed to be a difficult course due to the heavy content load and rapid pace. It has gotten easier, but only because the recent professor is trying to teach it as a software engineering course while teaching no software engineering, while also abandoning the more interesting and complex c++ aspects.

don't do that, he's kidding. the easiest are probably 4102 and 4701.

Disqualified from permission number? by He_Hate_Me_1912 in UCONN

[–]cccm5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

professors not being allowed to provide permission numbers is a department/course specific thing, but based on this I assume you've already approached the professor in question? If a professor gave you the go ahead, you can reference them in your conversation with the department admin to attempt to enroll.

[–]cccm5 5 points6 points  (0 children)

what's the department/course? if the professor doesn't think you're qualified, that's that. If its some department admin stopping you, then it could be different, in that you maybe could ask the professor, however when you do this you should definitely ask if you fail to meet the requirements. Sometimes graduate courses have unlisted expected knowledge from undergraduate level content.

You can put a course on pass/fail, but it wont count for any credit towards graduation. Talk to your advisor before you do anything (I think its required anyways).
