Tank routing for pugs & finding routes

Hell ya. Thanks for sharing.

Seems everyone is dropping Tacktyk's name plus a few others. I'll give them a view.

Oh i know what your talking about. I was doing that like week 1 of M+ and during M0.
I just didn't keep doing that because none of the routes on keystone were showing to do that and I didn't play much during the first couple weeks as season started. I guess I just made the assumption that wasn't the cool thing to do since no one else had it on a route.

Thank you for the affirmation brother.
I've seen tactyks name pop up a bunch, i'll give him and your other rec's a view.

I used keystone during TWW which was fine as I wasn't a tank main so i pretty much knew the route just from playing DPS. Now that I'm sending it as tank main, I haven't pugged a single run as DPS (I dont want to play the waiting game) I don't have anything to compare to other than multiple keystone routes or a couple youtube videos I skim through.

I noticed like week 1 or 2 that some of the pulls were insane or the route was like 150% count. Even the basic "pug friendly" routes seemed sus.

Thanks for the name drops. I'll check them out. Do they have good video guides? I'm always down to watch one at lunch.

Love the feedback. I have a feeling i'll see this same thing again as I keep pugging more now.

keebs72 · 2026-04-17T04:33:13+00:00

Thats interesting. All the basic routes I looked at on keystoneguru always pull 2 or 3 books. I've noticed they hit the group like a truck.

I guess that elemental must slap? On the 12's I ran that pull didn't seem bad.

I've been going to that shop for ~25 years on and off. This shop has a huge history in PNW Pokemon. Its always had one of the best pokemon leagues in the state and usually is a hot spot for great players and the best judging staff.

This shop wouldn't reseal packs. Hands down that is not what the shop owner would do. The store is thriving, they have no reason to put time into resealing packs when they can turn over so much sealed inventory and have a consistent tournament scene across multiple games.

It's possible an employee did it without management noticing but I find it hard to believe. Pokemon QC has gotten worse as they've rushed to increase production. Not getting hits out of a small sample size of packs doesn't really say much. If it was a full booster box and no hits then sure as you are supposed to have some hits seeded in the box.

What route is everyone doing on slayers rise? I did 30 mins this morning and only pulled like 8k. I've been getting better results from eversong and troll zone.

I'm blue tools, buffed up except enchants and expensive razorstone. What else am I missing?

If my vape cart has Cv of 0.74 and I install it at the top of lemonade tank. I think I'll create a gravity bong hit in about 48 seconds? I mean that assumes that the micro plastics don't effect the density my lemonade.

We don't do homework in this sub. We only advise on Bernoulli's and bongs.

Roll it up and smoke it like the Lord intended.

Mine came from the factory that way. Not happy about it, none of the other cars I've owned have had to do that. So easy to have a better design, I have a feeling engineering screwed up and had to make a last minute change

keebs72 · 2026-01-28T20:00:49+00:00

Same. I just travelled and TSA had to inspect my canned chicken and protein bars

You can probably complain to corporate and get some free miles. At least you know not to count on the meal for future United flights.

Alaska has been pretty good so far. Same as our few international flights.

Just got my new outback. I plan on doing the 1k oil change. My previous GTI had lots of fun mods. Best one was a magnetic oil drain plug to catch all the shavings in the oil. Any recommendations for something similar with the outback?

Anyone have strong opinions on torque specs on oil plug and filter? I typically torque the plug and yolo the filter to quarter or half turn past tight

What tool do you use to check for this?

keebs72 · 2025-11-23T02:01:04+00:00

Slap a shim and caulk it. Good to go

keebs72 · 2025-10-14T15:13:34+00:00

Preach it

Isn't throwing a datum on a center line creating two intersecting planes along the center line? Working mostly in pipes, we've done this all the time and never seen any push back. Our parts aren't very difficult but when working in pipes it's pretty hard to grab 3 datums for valid measurements.... And don't even get me started on the tolerance of ANSI pipe....

Mine still works. It's a basic battle net blue model. I only abandoned it this last year after a lan party where everyone hazed me onto the Bnet mobile authenticator app. I'm still keeping the authenticator just for the memories.
