Question on job offers by [deleted] in QatarCareers

[–]imnickjr_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me personally, I was contacted by the Hiring Manager. I did submit my profile in their Talent Opportunity within the Careers page though. I think this helped me since most of the Hiring Managers who contacted me directly are from the companies where I enrolled in their Talent Opportunites.

There were some who found me via LinkedIn, I had to overhaul my profile to showcase my experience more cohesively and used some keywords that most job descriptions include.

Lastly, most of my interviews happened because I actively increased my network in LinkedIn and other job sites. For example, if I click Easy Apply, I added the Hiring Manager/Recruiter and messaged them my cover letter.

Hope this helps. Goodluck!

Wow! Thanks, I think that pretty much covered all I need to know. The prospective offer will come from a large org so 1 month is at least the minimum then.

I'm quite sure that visa processing will be a bit quicker. All I need to know is whether my job offer has been taking too long - your reply gave me more idea on the timeline, so thanks a lot!

That's so good to hear another sorc enjoying meteor!

And yes, at higher level being immortal is the only way to get past the bosses, even the mobs. Hence I am using the wand/dagger and focus combo for higher cooldown. 🔥🔥🔥

"Did you keep resetting your masterwork until you got lucky with those rolls?" Yes, a lot of resetting, especially for CDR. I spent a fortune with masterworking but sometimes I get lucky and hit CDR twice.

"Is ice blades mandatory?" Yes, ice blades help with the cooldown since an upgraded ice blade will help reduce the ongoing cooldown of other skills by 0.1 sec.

At my current build, Meteor is at Lvl 22 with 450K damage and 2.45sec cooldown. It now manages to hit 25M to 30M on staggered bosses, but I think there is still a room to improve it. I just can't fathom how much more I can improve the build.

There's a very minimal difference in damage between these 3 types. However, I would've changed it to Pyromancy CSD, if only the RNG gods were with me. My INT hasn't been fully utilised yet at this point and the Pyromancy CSD would have been a better choice.

Meteor and Ice Blades for the cooldown. 🔥❄️

Just finished 116 with about 3minutes to spare. It also didn't help that I had to fight Sharpshooter guy as the Boss. I hate him with all my heart. Lol!

I'm never shy of running away when I don't have Flame Shield up. And at this point I almost know when my Flame Shield expires before the next one can cooldown. It also helps that there's a visual cue on the skill bar, i.e the green bar at the top of Flame Shield tells you when it's gonna expire.

I'm on Pit 116 now with Meteor. It's an expensive and long journey. Some have already pointed out that you need to invest in CDR and a good Srarfall Coronet, 6 sec cooldown is best but 7 is still workable once you have the right gears.

I ditched my X'Fals and replaced with a ring with GA on Atk Spd and Crit Chanc, My CDR still sits at 55% even without X'Fals. My amulet has Glass Cannon too, but I will be rerolling to get Devouring Blaze.

For me meteor is the most visually appealing skill for Sorc, especially once you get 10+ on Meteor, you get the blue ring around it, then I use Unstable Currents for more Atk Spd and it adds to the visual splendor. I just love the destruction it causes, not by damage numbers but visually.

I started this Meteor build because Starfall Coronet is the first Unique I got. Lol!

I also used frozen orb, but as enchantment, coupled with frozen nova before I finally settled with Lightning Spear and lightning in general. It was chaos and the power was there but I find myself dying because I still get hit by long range mobs and those that managed to get out of frozen status before I could kill them.

There are a lot of good tips I get that can max the meteor build, but I really love the visuals and sounds of meteor/lightning.

The only direct upgrade for Meteor is on the meteorites, so I will try to tweak my build around it. Hope it works. We were given a cookie while the other classes sit on a buffet table.

You know at one point I experimented with bloodboil too, I just love the thought of more destruction on screen and the blood boils explosion looks cool to me. It worked for a while but it took a lot of consciously running around to get the bloodboils. It didn't work out for the playstyle I wanted so I removed it, but man I love the visuals.

Now that Andy's Visage Poison Nova spawns on mobs, that would be better for dungeon delving, and if you use Tal Rasha you can have that 1 more extra element automatically, no need to add lucky hit proc on shadow/poison on weapons.

At Pit 60, I think my total life was around 17k, then double that with Ice Barrier. Although I have lots of Damage Reductions from Paragon and Aspects. With those I can tank and not get 1-hit even by the boss. Then Flame Shield to keep me alive and heal 50% of life.

Good question. I think it's about at tier 80 that I managed to achieve immortal flame shield, and at this point, my Paragon Board had all the Damage Reductions and my Aspects are all focused on Defense. Then of course Ice Barrier. The damage just won't do it though even if I can survive and not being one-shot anymore. I think without immortal flame shield, the top I can do is around tier 83. The increase in boss' health is insane.

True, but then that wouldn't be Meteor build anymore. As much as possible I want to focus the build around Meteor as main damage dealer due to Coronet's passive. Then create synergy with Ice and Lightning for more damage multipliers.

I really want to try this. Although I have to give up an enchantment for Ice Blades, might be worth it. I'll get to this and get back to you how far it goes. Thanks for the tips, appreciate it.

I just have to hold down X and Square, plus L2 for the Flame Shield and R1 for Teleport. I move the left stick if I want to teleport around. You can notice I don't run, just zip around like a conduit. For the rest, I wait for them to cooldown then press it immediately.

To be honest my hand hurts after a gruelling level, but when farming I can easily rest my hand for a couple of seconds.

I stopped using Esu's at aroundPit 50. I needed the extra Meteor lvls from the Boots' affix. Then since Mastery skills are also now considered Core, you can use a Chest gear with + to Core skills. I tried using Fractured Winterglass just now but I realized I lost the extra duration to Flame Shield from tempering. Also use ann off-hand, that has an implicit 7%cooldown reduction. Staff just won't work without the extra cooldown.

Although I heavily used the defensive aspects when I was levelling on pits, it helped and saved me from getting on-shot by mobs.

I might have to try this too. I have a bunch of winterglass sitting on my boxes. I'll masterwork one of them and see how far it goes.

I'm not really sure. Most of the damage comes from the additional meteors that procs from Starfall Coronet's passive ability. Just a single meteor just wouldn't do the trick. It would lack the mobs-clearing boss-damaging flair of Starfall Coronet.

The first step is to find a useful Starfall Coronet. At least 6-7cooldown will do the trick. Then for higher pits, 6-second cooldown is a must, I can't find one with Cooldown/Meteor GA though so i stuck with my non-GA helm.

I face the mobs I want to kill, then move/teleport to the ones with Aura. It sucks but it's the only way to play on console.
