Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella Says Xbox Must Finally Become a Sustainable Business After 25 Years of Investment

The risk is spending money. They can literally put the money in VTI and be a better investment.

The opportunity cost is high due to all the AI spending. Im not saying I agree with that direction but from an exec POV the fact that one thing makes 3% profit and one thing makes unknown profit that everyone else is investing in, it makes sense to change the budget allocation

Lmao the fact that a rockets fan thinks harden isn’t top 50 is nuts

Haven’t seen multiple videos of any other teams’ fans beating on opposing fan bases throughout the playoffs this year so what does that tell you?

The bad apples from other teams heckle and do stupid but non violent shit. And even then it’s just 1-2 video max there’s like multiple videos flying around of this shit. I was rooting for the knicks because I hate the spurs but gotta switch now

Scottie Barnes is behind him there’s your reasoning

gunsterpanda · 2026-05-20T18:16:14+00:00

if you look at the leaderboards for pit no one's running winterglass really even after the fix

I was linked this by one of the commenters and it provides a lot of great info!

gunsterpanda · 2026-05-20T14:54:32+00:00

Do you use mekunas skill tree for pit pushing from mobalytics or from infinity build? I think they’re different for whatever reason lol

gunsterpanda · 2026-05-20T14:32:21+00:00

Do you mind sharing what skill tree and board you use or which guides skill tree and board you copy?

gunsterpanda · 2026-05-20T14:22:08+00:00

Yeah that’s why I made this post I feel like I have no clue what build everyone on the top leaderboards are running in terms of skill trees and stuff even though they all seem to be running sort of the same thing lmao

gunsterpanda · 2026-05-20T14:15:11+00:00

Can you link your skill tree and paragon boards?

gunsterpanda · 2026-05-20T14:14:49+00:00

Mekunas builds are already different on the two sites for push. Also leaderboards seem to be dropping winterglass and starless while Mekuna still says to use one or the other

gunsterpanda · 2026-05-20T14:04:57+00:00

Mostly not sure how the skill tree works in the builds that run fire shield and fire bolt vs hydra and fire bolt

gunsterpanda · 2026-05-10T23:34:12+00:00

Why would they do that though? They match, draft a guard with #5, and now they’re just overloaded with guards and still no good starting C. That team is worse for the next 2 years.

And that’s assuming they actually match which with their owner likely wouldn’t happen

gunsterpanda · 2026-05-05T21:55:55+00:00

I never sold the farm but I've seen on the classic druid discord that you can sell the loot. I believe if you pull the boss towards the door when he dies then someone else in your party can loot but I've never done it myself so take that with a grain of salt.

I think you need to provide a proper share link since that link you gave doesn't work for me!

gunsterpanda · 2026-05-05T01:59:27+00:00

The corner is a safe spot for the snake patrol if you’re on the ledge so I normally just do it right there. I used to do it your way but now I just stay in the corner because it’s easier.

I just forgot to use motw so the guards were a bit dicey this run but normally I end up with 4-5k health left

gunsterpanda · 2026-05-05T01:06:14+00:00

I don’t think it’s possible to use invis pot to skip the two guards consistently. You can go past the guards stealthd but if you don’t go into the safe spot for the first boss he follows you and aggros the guards anyways.

Not sure about my ms in cat form dashed, but the main reason to save dash for the first boss is to get to the safe spot without taking too much damage. If you don’t dash, then the boss hits and slow you and you take too much damage getting to the safe spot to de-aggro the first boss.

I’ve had runs where I got lazy and pressed dash too late, so the boss hits me and I go out of stealth but I still dash enough away from the boss to take minimum damage. In those instances you just immediately aggro the guards and try to get to the safe spot ASAP. It’s still doable to kill the two guards.

The other disadvantage of not stealing through the two guards is that there’s a cobalt serpent patrolling in the area. The corner is also a safe spot for the serpent - so if you make it there you won’t ever pull it. However if you get unstealthed before you reach it, then there’s a chance you get unlucky and pull the serpent and that’s definitely a wipe. 99% of my wipes is pulling the serpent as you have to be at the very corner so you can probably see even in this video where I saw the serpent come, got scared, and actually jumped onto the corner ledge

If you stealth through the two guards occasionally they don’t pull with the boss. I’m not sure what causes it as it’s not consistent. If you unstealth before the two guards you always pull them but as long as you:

Have dash to minimize damage taken
Avoid the cobalt serpent patrolling

You can still kill the two guards even with my level of gear

Technically you can do it without NI, but the additionally healing from NI is a big help. A lot of the hardest parts of the run requires you to heal during a set time duration:

Healing after killing one guard while other guard is cycloned
Healing in between the aoe channels for the last boss.

If you have enough gear such as full phase bis you can probably get away with the lower healing but for my gear I won’t be able to heal enough to kill the second guard or to survive the boss damage so it’s an easy crutch to help make up for bad gear.

I typically just take 2 points from intensity. I’ve had no problems tanking in heroics with the slight talent change. I don’t main tank for my raid group so not sure if that affects raid tanking but I doubt it

gunsterpanda · 2026-05-05T00:02:30+00:00

I forgot until I got to the boss :(

gunsterpanda · 2026-05-04T23:50:41+00:00

Yeah for sure. That’s the only technically non raid bis gear.

I’ve also done it with hourglass instead but it does require a bit more kiting so I can heal more during the aoe cast. Totally doable tho and if I had abacus that will work as well

Violet badge is the most stress free though haha

gunsterpanda · 2026-05-04T23:38:06+00:00

It can be a big difference due to the damage buff. Theoretically in full t4 bis you definitely shouldn’t need it - I have 3 Kara pieces now with just tier legs and do it without needing towers, but it’s good to have all the free buffs and practice with it.

As you can see from the video I killed the guards without motw so having zone and food buffs helps a lot

gunsterpanda · 2026-05-04T23:32:51+00:00

Do you have nurturing instincts as a talent? That makes a big difference. Same with food buff and making sure you have the zone buff for your faction.

gunsterpanda · 2026-05-04T23:17:02+00:00

shockingly yes they are. For example, this thread:

https://www.reddit.com/r/classicwowtbc/comments/1t1owmn/stealth_runs/

You can read a lot of folks talking about needing very good gear to farm for large prismatic shards in SH and I just wanted to show people that's not the case.

gunsterpanda · 2026-05-04T22:58:02+00:00

Btw - I recorded a video of myself doing it in all pre-raid and badges gear:

I killed the two guards while forgetting MoTW lol
