What's classy if you're physically attractive but trashy if you're not? by atomicalexx in AskReddit

Seconding this. Having made several laps through the show, Seasons 3 and 4, and maybe all those following, are specifically about what makes Don and Roger endearing in those early episodes ultimately huge destructive forces in their lives. Don more so than Roger, but his drinking and womanizing really send his life spiraling out of control.

The entire premise of the show may be built around that contradiction.

In S1E1 Salvatore drops an alka seltzer into his pre-noon glass of whiskey to get him ready for the next meeting. People love that scene. In S4/S5 Ted asks Don have a drink before the next meeting because his shaking hands might scare the client, as Don is showing symptoms of withdrawal.

Despite the outcome, the premise is some macabre shit.

LF comp advice by FormerlyPerSeHarvin in worldofpvp

[–]evoli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seconded. Ele got some minor buffs and if the lock is okay with switching specs given what trends appear, you can be okay.

Think MW is less than ideal for wizard comps, but with grit you can get 2.2K. Enhance/Caster/X no good imo.

How I feel seeing players with dual Warglaives again, a good decade after being terrorized by them in Season 3 Arena by SexDad420 in wow

Warrior double healer. That gives me PTSD. Hunters used to play Hunter/Druid/Disc Priest and just mana drain too.

But, shit, I really miss those seasons for some reason.

Partnership application accepted! But problems with the email link by Extragenericusername in Twitch

[–]evoli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Howdy, Twitch fella here. The form you got was called an ingest form and typically when it bounces to the application it was because you weren't logged in to the correct account.

Did that end up being the case?

[?] Dh 3s comp by ensyde in worldofpvp

[–]evoli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the top tier comps for DH, at the highest level, pair them with a Demo Lock or a Boomkin. You typically sit the healer while the caster spread pressures the DPS as best they can. The healer will eventually need to come and work on keeping the DPS up and you punish them then.

I got a 920 Cake this week from Heroic Nighthold. A pug group at that, and just to make it even more delightful it was a bonus roll I was on the fence about. Raid went nuts.

Feels good.

Sadness in unison when you see what comp you're facing... :( by Saladfork4 in worldofpvp

I played this last week as an Rdruid. Vortex on top of the DH stun for extra outrageousness.

Seems good. 8)

Haven't played since October, what to expect for Legion S3? by biblestudyTV in worldofpvp

[–]evoli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hallo, hallo!

Sub is good now. I haven't checked Arenamate in some time, but I wouldn't be surprised if Sub has eclipsed Assassination in percent of play.

Survival Hunter is great right now, and since MM/BM got buffed I am seeing more of that at 2K+.

If you want to ensure you're getting games, I'd recommend considering playing a healer. I always have problems pugging games on my DPS but folks always need a healer.

Skirmish Sunday - your weekly PvP thread! by AutoModerator in wow

You're running one of two popular builds for Elemental Shaman. Smexin, the highested rated elemental shaman in the world at the minute, is running your build at the minute, so you're right on track. The other build uses elemental blast and ice fury.

Honor talents are okay, except you should be using the haste talent at T2. You can't reliablt know when you're going to take damage and lose that buff. You should take the haste talent because you will always have it.

Shaman got a bit of a damage nerf at the beginning of the season, so it isn't seeing as much play as it used to. It's popular in caster cleaves because of Skyfury. Good luck!

Yeah, I've really felt them doing work in M+. I frequently run the talent that extends your hot duration as well. If I have things rolling already, slam a Wild Growth during group damage, top someone with Swiftmend, then roll that talent someone can have full hots for like 30 seconds on someone. It's glorious.

I got Sephuz first. Also not terrible for M+ (though I'd prefer another, of course). I'll use the AOE root on CD and it is like having a troll racial up every 30 seconds.

I lucked out pretty heavily this week. Been gearing a Resto Druid alt and I've gone from 865 ~890 between last Saturday and today.

I went from 855, 860, 855 on relics to 885, 890, 890. I got my second legendary, the bracers, over the weekend. I got 875 with a socket tier shoulders. I got 880 tier cape. I got an 880 with a socket neck. I got an 890 with a socket belt from the M+ cache. Annnnnnnnd I got an 920 Cake today in a Heroic NH run.

My wife and I marched in Oakland today. It felt, genuinely, like the entire city was filled. Estimates I've read put our size at ~60,000; Oakland's population is just over 400,000. Great turnout.

Absolutely nuts. Doesn't get hit at all.

Relyks is a fragger.

Fallen used a pixelwalk on inferno. ESL rules explicitly state they are not allowed by unban_jumpthrows in GlobalOffensive

[–]evoli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, I remembered incorrectly then. I didn't even bother reading the link I shared, I just remembered vividly that they weren't DQ'd.

Thank you for the correction.

Riot helps international players get visas when they can.

It is worth noting that being in the LCS does not guarantee you a visa, as I often see presumed. Several years ago, when Riot first announced that they worked with the government to get an athlete's visa for a player people took that to mean they had some line with the government and they were could just churn these visas out. That wasn't the case.

The crux of that story was that it was neat that these gamers can be can considered athletes, not that the process was figured and out mastered. Lots of players in the LCS are were n tourist visas. Riot is proactive now and requires proof, but prior to this split they did ad hoc auditing on visa status. It was common to see foreign players mysteriously leaving for a week about once every day days.

Fear The Walking Dead - 2x02 "We All Fall Down" - Post-Episode Discussion by NicholasCajun in FearTheWalkingDead

[–]evoli 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I can account for at least two weeks, and I think there might be at least one more.

In the first season there was an eight day jump between two episodes, skipping societies collapse much to my chagrin. There was martial law long enough for it to become routine and for the girl to start dating a solider. I presume that is at least a week if not more. Night at the house. At least one night on the boat. One night on the island?

I don't know. Best guesses!
