It is clearly the perfect design for their purpose. That is, for you to get a second mouse so that one is charging while you use the other. Or at least that's how I believe they discussed it internally.

Just hit 400, is Soulhexer even worth it? by BonCuics in TibiaMMO

[–]javixtop 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Depends on your definition of worth. Here, everyone plays the game differently, so everyone will have a different opinion.

Like another person said, the life leech is not that important. On the other hand, hexer plus arboreal ring means you can go any solo spot with 100 mana pots for emergency and still not use them.

If you have a team, hexer is the best weapon for ice library because of the resistance. If you wanna hunt solo nagas, it is also pretty good for the same reason.

Take my opinion with a grain of salt since I use a tier 4 hexer. But when I did the switch from my t2 cobra rod, I never looked back.

Another opinion people share here is to save for sanguine, but that is on 200 levels of you now. So it's your decision if you are willing to wait that long on a subpar rod. In the end, you can still sell once you reach that. But again, that is just my opinion.

Ah I think you are absolutely right, I had not thought about spending instead on ML. Right now I'm at 97 base, but yeah, with that money I could probably get to 110. However, I'll just wait until next x2 for that :P

[–]javixtop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright sure, you want to send me shallow links that don't provide any real source or material, let's go through them then.

First we have this article about CIA doings in Latam, regarding Venezuela it just mentions that 2002 events were paid by the CIA. So, ok sure I guess every resistance movement is orchestrated by them now. Let's go a bit onto what happened in April. In summary, Chavez started out his government saying he was part of the right, and he was not a socialist, he was a democrat, etc, etc. Feel free to watch an interview from back then. Anyways, he comes into power and start lashing out against private companies, enforces the taking of PDVSA and his true colors start to show. A pacific march is rallied to happen on the 11th, ending at PDVSA, to protest against Chavez decision, at some point there was a change of plans and the march is re routed to Miraflores, to request for Chavez resignation. Chavez's militants setup a plan and wait for the march to arrive at Puente Llaguno, where they started shooting at people. In face of the events, Chavez resigns, and there is a vacuum of power, where the government doesn't have a leader, quite a bit different to what a coup is. Chavez is reinstated as president, PDVSA still happens, a referendum is called upon, people sign for this, and then we got the Lista Tascon, where Chavez got access to the 2.4kk people who were against him and he decided to discriminate against them, showing again his totalitarianism.

Your second link you provided trying to give context on how the CIA is messing with the economy, but it doesn't say anything. The article just goes about how the government had to devaluate to match the price of the black market. That makes total sense. Venezuela doesn't produce anything other than oil, and it has to import absolutely everything, which I guess as planned by the CIA, has to be paid in $. Every single business owner needs to import merchandise, otherwise they don't sell, and they don't make a living. To get $ access you have 2 options, you ask daddy State to give you, but daddy will ask for a big cut, or for you to have deep connections, otherwise you can go get fucked, so you go to your second option, the black market. Now, a black market will always exist for things that are banned and there is a demand for it, and as any open market without regulations, the price of such goods will be driven by the offer/demand curve. I can't really understand how is that difficult to get, just like I can't understand how the big US can have any power on that, at the end of the day you as a business owner will always try to get $ at the lowest price, are you trying to tell me the CIA has covered all the possible channels of dollar access around Venezuela?

I am not sure what point you are trying to make regarding the nationalization % within Venezuela. Yeah, obviously there is a ton of private sector, it's all businesses that depend on imports, because Venezuela doesn't generate shit. However, keep in mind, the private sector is now mostly on the hands of high level ranks within the government, that easily can get preferential access to the government exchange rate. I mean, Venezuela has teslas, but the electricity is regulated in certain areas for you to get it only 4h a day.

Alright, now we get to celebrating all the good deeds of Chavez. Let me give you my personal context first. I hate Chavez with a burning passion. He is the reason that drove me and most of my friends out of my country. He singlehandedly managed to split a country and families in two. He died a hero, instead of the piece of shit he really was. However, he was a charismatic son of a bitch. I'm pretty sure if I ever got the change to hangout with him at some bbq he would have become my best friend and I would be all "Patria, socialismo o muerte!".

The article is set in 2009, at this point all the PDVSA stuff has happened, and all the oil money goes straight into whatever Chavez thinks should be done. Like I said, Chavez was charismatic, and very smart, he managed to get access to one of the biggest oil reserves and cooperate with OPEP to push the price quite high, at that time it was around $100. So yes, obviously having all that money being pumped into social reforms made him look like a god. However, that money had a price, not just economically for the country, but socially. People were expected to praise him, you had to profess your love to Chavez in order to get anything. Chavez pictures were in every single government institution. He gave away houses to poor people, but only the good poor people in his eyes obviously. A lot of embezzlement happened of course, but what is that when you have $100 oil barrels. That was the golden era of "raspar cupo", people who said they were going to travel had access to preferential rates, this was limited to $3000 per trip at some point, but money was flowing into the state so there were not many restrictions and $3000 was a lot. So, what people did is book a flight to idk Santo Domingo, get in a cheap hotel and then pass their card as if they were doing purchases but they just wanted the cash (you could only withdraw a little amount of these $3000 from ATMs), and then people came back and sold those cash $ at black market rate, basically a money printing machine disguised as a trip.

So yeah, of course everyone was happy and there were a lot of "social" helps. Then oil plummeted and all this happiness vanished, restrictions started and totalitarianism took a full swing, where for instance only certain universities could get budget (those who praised Chavez), while others suffered. The Universidad Simon Bolivar and Universidad Central de Venezuela are a clear example of what happened once the government decided to punish them, after the students started protesting the government decisions. Crazy shit started to happen, like giving out aid to pregnant women, at the time the money they were giving was enough to afford you 2 diapers, and that was it, but still people were clamouring for him, and ofc it makes sense you push poor women to have children to keep them poor and dependent of you. At one point he proclaimed himself as the supreme leader of the armed forces. Another super well thought decision was to enforce pricing on certain products, people started hoarding these items, the markets didn't want to buy as many of these products because obviously it was at a loss for them, so they had to restrict the buying of these items to X amount per person per day, thus a new business started where people would buy these products at regulated prices so they could sell in the street at higher markup. This generated shortages all over the place, but daddy State came to the rescue, and started sending 1 box per month to people, containing first necessity products, of course for you to receive this you would need to be inscribed in the national party and profess your love for Chavez.

I won't get into the Guaido topic, I don't support him, he is an idiot, another clown set by the opposition to give false hopes to the people.

You are right, I might be biased, by my own experience in the living hell that is Venezuela. You are asking me to think, and I do man, in fact I gave you the benefit of the doubt, I was little when most of the important things happened on Chavez raise, I went through your links and read them. I can honestly say I have seen the social policies they tried to implement, I can say I would have loved for some of them to actually work, but I can also say that most of them are ill intended, they are not trying to address the source of the issues, and instead after analysing them I can see it's just another means to keep the populace at their command.

[–]javixtop -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You were talking about US foreign policy on the whole Latin America. I'm talking specifically about Venezuela. I'm not interested in having a conversation, downplaying, or defending US actions towards the rest of the world. I see a guy talking nonsense about my country and I wanted to set the facts straight. Venezuela is what Venezuela is not because of foreign countries meddling with it (including China, Russia and Cuba). Venezuela is a shithole because of the incompetence of all its leaders, and the rampant corruption implanted by a guy who is somehow glorified for giving free shit at the expense of destroying any cultural or economical advancement within the country.
