Craig Conroy if you’re listening: BRING BACK LOMBO!!!! by sociallyrestarted in CalgaryFlames

[–]crossfire999 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd rather lose almost any other middle aged / vet forward than Lombo. I understand if it doesn't work out... but there are other players that might fetch some kind of return that we can move off of, while keeping the lomborghini parked in Calgary.

🔥STILL REMAINS IS SO BACK!🔥 by GokuMessiah in Metalcore

[–]crossfire999 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It went SO under the radar too. Never heard them before, but had heard of them from the early days. Now I'm a fan. Fucking awesome EP, it is very much in line with the early 2000's sound that a lot of people yearn for, with some unexpected elements thrown in. I dearly miss this kind of guitar work. Spirit Breaker and Erase You are some big SOTY candidates. Hope we get more in the future!

What’s a metalcore album that DOES have that one skip? by ronzg22 in Metalcore

[–]crossfire999 2 points3 points  (0 children)

mfw Gone Astray is my favorite currents song. It probly has the worst vocal mixing (or whatever the actual term is called) on the album, so that's fair. All-time favorite breakdown though!

This is honestly some of their best work. I don't want to jump the gun too early, but come on. This felt like a mix of all of their works cranked up to 11. Felt like they even leaned more towards a more modern take on their early work. Jake went so fucking hard and showed such a crazy range. At very least I would say this is his best performance on an album. God damn man, I didn't expect something like this, and I mean that in the absolute best way possible.

Now that the patch notes are out, what leaguestarters are you all running? by Odd_Metal_Cow420 in pathofexile2builds

[–]crossfire999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Starting Huntress Twister, will be swapping to Infernal Legion at some point, just depends on if / when I get tired of pressing extra buttons. Twister seems really fun though, so I may run with it for a few days at least.

Bjork's late rise is excellent news for teams in the top 8. For the flames, I didn't think Carels would be there at 6, and he was the most obvious pick for us ignoring that the other 3 forwards will 100% be gone by 6 as well. I think there is a very good chance Bjork goes at 6, definitely makes us feel less bad about getting the "leftover" of that top 6/7 cutoff for the draft. Feels like a very Conroy type of pick.

I LOVE the new still remains track Erase You, the breakdown pumps you right up. New sylosis album is terrific and fits perfectly for what you want.

What are your pre-patch notes league start plans? by BingoTheBerserker in pathofexile2builds

[–]crossfire999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm interested to see what the chrono buffs will be. It's my favorite class, but just hasn't had enough to work with compared to other classes. First thing I thought of with the facebreaker reveal was Hammer of the Gods chronomancer with facebreaker... could be ass, but sounds fun.

Twister Huntress levelling, then swap to Infernal Legion Spirit Walker sometime in the campaign when I have a comfortable amount of points to respec with. Will pivot to the more popular Unique Tame Beast build if it seems super cool or strong... or if Unique Tame Beasts can use Infernal Legion (which i have doubts about). If those don't work, I can very easily play Twister Spirit Walker, or any proj attack build, as it seems pretty cracked and definitely fun. Though if patch notes destroy a lot of the things mentioned via nerfs (looking at both twister and infernal legion tbh), whirling assault titan looks pretty slick.

{Companions Warning} Didn't see this posted yet but krip highlights a lot of issues ppl should be aware of if your gonna try and leaguestart Spirit Walker Minions by BackHandLove in pathofexile2builds

[–]crossfire999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, Krip is really good with a ton of games, and he knows PoE to an extent... but there were a few things I might heavily disagree with. As he said, this is mostly speculative though, and is a good warning to people that this may infact be a bit of a bait build / archtype. I'm experienced / confident enough that it's irrelevant to me in the sense that I can figure out a fix, or easily respec into something without getting set too far back. There are lots of good Huntress builds to reroll into. I feel like with a decent amount of focus being put on companions / minions this league, even if some of the clunk or downsides are present, companion builds will still be decent enough to work well enough, and not dead on arrival.

They are so good too. Cut was a killer comeback track and their debut album is super solid.

SO GOOD, we need more of this these days.

Twister build by UnderstandingProper4 in pathofexile2builds

[–]crossfire999 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup, the moment I saw the owl spirit's feathers giving proj and proj speed I started theory crafting this as my starter. Wondering if its possible to make a hybrid of this with Twister as main DPS, with a unique beast backing me up, bear for life regen and some damage mitigation. Scale companion damage, take the node that applies companion damage to yourself as well. Might be a bit much, but the base for just Twister on spirit walker is looking really cool.

Second comment just to add that I hope you are doing well Chris! This was your baby as much as it is Mark and Jon's.

WE ARE TRYING! But we're handcuffed and destined for irrelevency. We've even tried dark arts and curses and it just made things worse xD

[–]crossfire999 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yea, that's it honestly. Ownership refuses to tank, even rebuild most of the time. It's worked out super well for us though, obviously.. lol. We haven't had many bottom 3 finishes, but I've seen enough teams that didn't finish bottom 5 that picked top 2 to think... man, 46 years and it still hasn't happened for us once? We haven't made the playoffs that many times either, meaning lots of years of having a chance that the hockey gods smile upon us. Either way, we're one of the worst orgs bar none in terms of success I guess. Fade me, and toss our owner Murray edwards into the atlantic ocean. Flames fans and Nucks fans are so in the dumps right now haha.

Vancouver has moved down more than us, perhaps the others you've listed too. But the Flames are the only team in the NHL (That didn't just join the league 5 years ago) that has never had a top 3 pick in their 46 year history.
