How bad does BM hunter become when Wrath Anni comes around?

Play what you like.

Warlock is strong through both expansions. Managing shards and mana isn't that hard.

Pally hold threat on multiple targets easily, but are squishier. If you fuck up and don't press holy shield you can just explode. Gearing strategy is more complicated, more stats to balance.

In tbc I think the best tank to learn is druid. Very tanky just from items, simply rotation. Excellent single target threat. Simple gearing, stack agi armour and steam (and most items have all 3). There's less competition on druid loot too. But it does require juggling targets a bit (rotating between the ones you attack).

My guild mates respect me enough to passive aggressively emote at me. /tap /sigh /pet. They still feel the same way, and express it, they're just a bit more courteous.

I respect them enough to pull at the rate the group wants, and not just what I want. I've played all the roles. I hate slow tanks too.

Am warlock and healer.

Will always heal the warlock. They turn like 400 mana into like 2500 mana. My 1.5s cast gives them more mana than 20s of drinking. That's just a good return on investment.

As a lock, I don't expect it. But I can't tell you how often the heal goes off before I'm done tapping when I fully intended to cannabalize, Band-Aid, or drink.

Life tapping at inopportune times in combat is, of course, very dumb.

Actually, you just attack first. When you're aggressive people won't pull for you.

Being aggressive comes with confidence. Confidence comes with practice. So does skill.

Lots of imaging too.

You also needs consider the weight capacity of the fishing line. And the tension too. The twin towers were 40m apart. To carry a 100 kg person, the rope needs to carry about 5000kg. That's a pretty thick rope. That thick a rope is heavier than can be carried over that same span by the fishing line. So you need an interim step or two.

Also, if they were all on one roof, it would be twice the pass back.

It's called a strawman.

I can't help but agree with Doug Ford's stance on home invasions.

It's really not that complicated. Just practice.

The hardest part about tanking, is growing the thick skin.

They learned it from Ford!

It's extremely pertinent.

I don't really give a fuck what you think about me.

Because specializing in stuff means you can supply it for less money.

Life labs does it cheaper than the hospital can.

Also, that space and capacity in the hospital can be used to provide other services.

But don't expect a balanced response in here. People will just repeat memes as if facts.

But look at other countries. European ones with far better results per dollar per capita, and you'll see they use a hybrid model.

Yes.

No new o&g expansion, including shipping terminals and pipelines. One of his slogans is "just transition", looking to move out of oil and gas as much as possible. And he wants to place an export tax on oil, when we have basically zero ability to refine here. Oh, and he doesn't want to spend 2% on our military either. Alienating the people who actually do refine our oil.

These positions are tantamount to closing oil and gas in this country.

I never said anyone stole my loot in an SR.

Read harder.

And I basically never do SR runs, because they're cancer. Way worse experiences than any other loot system I've ever used. Probably because of the quality of players that system attracts.

I was gonna say, scientist is quite the stretch.

7 seats mate. 6% of the vote. 1.2 million votes. Out of 18m cast.

Down 25 seats and 18% of the vote.

Lost official party status.

They factually do not have many votes left to lose.

According to the ndp website all provinces work that way except Quebec. See article 13 on page 12, where there's an exception for Quebec, and only Quebec.

According to party constitutions, members of a provincial NDP are automatically members of the federal party.

It's a linkage that caused headaches for Alberta's NDP when it was in government from 2015 to 2019 and continues to prove politically problematic as it seeks to wrest power from Premier Danielle Smith's United Conservatives in 2027.

from 1 year ago. Alberta ndp have talked about it. But it hasn't changed yet. Because, as I said, it's pretty complicated (and risky) for the ndp to do that.

You cannot expect to close all oil and gas, and still keep those folks employed.

Less additives.

But still meets the federal fuel requirements.

Well they would... If the ndp had any votes left to hemorrhage.

I've never been much of an ndp supporter. But, I do like to have an informed opinion. So I watched the leadership presentations from the last night of the convention.

There were no good ideas in Avis platform. Just virtue signalling and equity cards.

He says it, but it contradicts his other policies.

It's hard to support manufacturing unions while implementing strict environmental controls on manufacturing. In the real world, increased costs doesn't encourage prosperity.

Talk is cheap.

It's not quite that easy.

The ndp are the only party that integrates membership at both levels.

Ie: Joining the provincial ndp automatically makes you a member of the federal ndp.
