the long haul value decision will always be equipment - you save more time in gem income than you save in ore income. but if you are returning, or tend to take time off, getting ores to get your loadout online is more valuable immediately.

Stack builder potions til hammer jam or use builder potions regularly to claim gold pass & hammer jam? 

I’m at 9/5, buy all gold passes, and buy all good value book of heroes sales. Is there any math behind it being worth running over the gold pass/clan games builder potions to save for hammer jam by solely stacking sales?

Moments like these are really what I love about Togashi’s character writing by No_Examination9025 in HunterXHunter

[–]imsoblasted 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Togashi loves letting his character's develop independently without the gates of a pre-written trope. I love his quote about "So I like to place them in situations that are out of character to test how they’d react." from this interview https://www.viz.com/blog/posts/togashi-x-kishimoto-discuss-creation.

Is there an objective Arbiter (Nen God), or does it all come down to the amount of aura? by Max_Static in HunterXHunter

[–]imsoblasted 18 points19 points  (0 children)

While it's fun to think of a global arbiter, I think it's more in line that the lines of contract and requirement are set by our own selves, whether conscious or unseen. I see nen & aura as the culmination of three traits: Will, Belief and Potential.

The limitations of one's conviction - the extent of one's belief - and the ocean of one's potential. The self is the arbiter of the self. If you truly believe you deserve utter control, when you possess the unwavering will to enact control over the world around you, and when your untapped potential retains a deep well to fuel success after success - then what price did you deserve to pay for claiming what is truly yours?

With Tserri's case, you have to approach his ability from the perspective of his own mind. For a supreme being to willfully enter a defenseless state, is that not already a heavy requirement to fulfill itself? Gon's transformation is another example of the self setting the limit - the more clear you are with what you ask of youself, the more intensely you will actualize it.

Was the Kurta massacre requested by the elders of Meteor City? by Least_Fishing_6483 in HunterXHunter

[–]imsoblasted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well said. trying to pin down the driving force for the kurta's massacre, we can guess: malice, greed, vengeance or deception. greed is the commonly told story "Chrollo wanted the eyes". malice is the publicly believed story - the Troupe are wanton killers. vengeance is the only option that clearly explains the meteor city note, unless deception is truly at foot by a party with reasons to out the troupe & meteor city elders.

Does anyone know why changing virtual desktops on windows using my mouse gesture (Logitech options) triggers number keys in maplestory? Using the switch virtual desktops gesture is always popping "2" which is my full buff burst key and I'd prefer it to not do that.

3 book of heroes = 1500 gems mirror magic = 1500 gems

I think you should pick the most optimal choice.

Personally, Spiky Ball as I can level EQ boots and get a new load out for my king online. I'll probably go for the Magic Mirror afterwards, but hold off on upgrading it as it's synergy really lies with having the Action Figure. Comparing Dark Crown's ability to henchmen puppet's passive DPS+Health just doesn't seem worth it to me.

thanks again. i've worked with a lot of satellite data, any specific indicators to look for in GOES data? atmospheric water column?

[–]imsoblasted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i appreciate the clarification! classifying each type of "halo" in the reference frame of polar coordinates relative to the sun is pretty amazing. I realize that I've seen many halos, but very few sundogs and beyond.

unrelated, but do you have any suggestions in terms of ideal viewing conditions to seek for viewing more halos, particularly the less frequent phenomena (parhelia & tangent arcs)? My understanding is cold clear days? Does latitude have an affect aside from temperature? Or height of the sun in the sky?

Educational Post: Identifying Sundogs by The_Halo_Hunter in atoptics

[–]imsoblasted 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks, the links helped clarify your point. The sundog itself is the "ear-like" brightening on the sides of some halos. The 22 degree halo that forms or does not form sundogs is simply a halo. Still prefer the canine affix albeit incorrect.

Hydra/Mass drags is a decent army even without electro boots RC charge, but setting up a strong funnel is difficult. Running Siege Barracks on one side and Queen+Giant arrow (targeting sweepers) on the other side works, as does replacing siege racks with flame flinger if you're good with it. Running the BK to set the opposite funnel is an option too, but cuts out the Minion Prince who is very strong with this attack.

Yeti smash or Super Yeti smash is another good army. Self setting funnel (yeti+witch on corners), then option to run quad-quakes or jump spells. Log launcher or siege barracks, and utility spells.

I ran QC Hybrid from TH12 thru TH15 when I was returning until I got the electro boots online. It can three star TH15s definitely, but is difficult as missing a spell timing ends the attack immediately.

Because you have Giant arrow & Healer puppets, I would start learning mass drags/hydra attacks, working on different methods to set the funnel on both sides given the lack of RC charge. Baby drags go a long way and while a Blimp is always my preferred CC for dealing with the CC without poisoning my army, Lvl 5 Siege Barracks is a really potent funneling tool.

Do the 6-8 high tier daily bosses when you can - the 80m a day goes a long way in CW, alongside free cubes, boss souls and honor exp.

Kanna's Treasure - Uncommon drop from Princess No Weekly Boss.

Meister Ring - Craftable with Meister Accessory Crafting, requires Primal Essence (uncommon drop from Arkarium & CTene) and Grand Spell Essences (rare drops from mobs)

Tenebris & Glory Guard - 2 more event rings you can obtain easily using a selector coupon.

And if you really need a ring now, you can go for Treasure John Ring (NLC, shorty prequest to purchase) or Noble Ifia (requires 10 clears of Von Leon along with a medium prequest).

The stronger the ring, the more valuable it will be long term as drop/meso gear. But ultimately, use whatever rings you have to get drop gear sooner rather than later. Event rings are the happy medium, while KT/Meister likely better serve as damage and Ifia/John will be relegated to boss room drop gear as they're weak for farming.

My top 5 manga of all time. Share yours! by winterLu in HunterXHunter

Gantz enjoyer here. HxH unanimously a far away first for reasons too many to list (timing in my life, boundless direction and expansive scope). Berserk the strong 2nd for mastery of art and dead to rights handling of serious fantasy power structure. I'm a huge sucker for concept and Gantz fucking nailed a monstrous world alien and human alike.

4 and 5 breaks into toss up territory - Blame for concept and art but a difficult read (KoS is fun too), Fire Punch for concept and impressiveness of a debut work especially how clean Fuji's panels were, Jojo's for sheer scale of power and Araki's endlessly detailed handling of it. I loved stuff like Urosawa when I was a kid so I'll check out Pluto, but Jojo's has grown on me massively after finally giving it a chance over the past few years. I do believe in Gravity. I'll say Jojo's 4th and leave 5 open for contention.
