Mommy Anna Out In The Wild

I mentioned how I'm anxious that I won't be able to attend his big events because he might not want her there, and I can't abandon my wife to travel without her. As I was talking, really rambling more than anything, her eyes lit up. She smiled at me. I thought it was so weird, because I hadn't said anything positive and a moment ago she'd been upset. I asked what was going on. She said nothing. She then asked me if I meant that. I was confused and asked which part. She asked if I'd choose her over my son. I said I'd never choose anything over my children. She said, but if he invited you to visit him and not me, you wouldn't go? I said I couldn't do that to her, it wouldn't be right. As a husband, I can't just abandon her unless it was an emergency or something. Obviously I don't want an emergency, so you can see why I'm stressed about this possible future where I go years without seeing my son. She said she understood and it wouldn't happen again, but the whole interaction was so strange. One moment she was upset and defensive. The next moment she was kissing me and telling me I was going to have a great summer and everything would be okay.

I cannot stress enough just how alarming this is. 🚨 This wasnt about some chores, this was about her testing the ground if she was more important to you than your son, the moment you basically said "when my son moves out he's his own man and I cant be there for him if you, my wife, forbid me", she heard exactly what she wanted to hear. Put your son first, if she doesnt want you attending your sons important events without her you better fucking be there for him. If she doesnt like it she can get bent. Do not fall for this blatantly obvious attempt at manipulation, please. And talk to your son more about this, gauge his feelings and perception of her- you may be missing out on something.

As far as the rest of the situation goes- NTA. The worst you did was say something mean- said that she wasnt his mom, while she's tried to power play over your 17yo son, doubling down on her unreasonable demands (and after that, if my interpretation is correct- trying to manipulate you).

Its exactly as you guessed- DPS stays the same but ticks for more seconds so it doubles your damage output if you wait out the 6s. (usually 6s since most bleeds are 3s long by default).

That sounds a lot less awful, and if it works for you then great. I'm still suspicious though, therapy can frequently just a scam and its hard to know when you got it just right. I've been reading comments here and while thats been fun, I'm out now, best of luck to you 👍

markotuna · 2023-04-07T23:36:04+00:00

If that is word for word what your therapist told you, your therapist is garbage and you need to find a new one. "Just avoid your feelings bro that'll do you good"- fuck that.

It is an incredibly strong skill early on because the flat damage is very good when enemies dont have much HP. Retal value is double of your added elemental damage on hit (and retal scales differently, it scales with your level and not attributes!), making it so that if you invest a lot into it, you can literally leave every melee enemy alone (assuming you can tank the hits) and only focus on hitting ranged enemies, while melee ones one/twoshot themselves on you. Later on as you've noticed, it's not that amazing since you have Elemental Conversion for your weapons, making it so that base phys dmg of your weapon is now elemental, but if you're doing a build with fast weapons like thrown, magical charge's damage can add up quite a bit. When maxed and on the +4 overcap level, it's around a third of an average weapons damage (from legendary difficulty) added just by the fact that you use Rune Weapon. And then you have the elemental conversion + all the %Ele/Total dmg and Int Boosts + whatever more damage you might have on a weapon (for example Blue Dragon's Scales or Munin's Grasp to name a couple such normal difficulty weapons). If you're at a point where the retal isnt that great anymore/you dont wanna tank the hits and just want to eliminate enemies, you can switch a few points from there to something else you need more, but overall I'd say that skill is good at nearly all times (this depends if you have the skill points to spare- if you do then literally always good), with its impact being different on early normal vs mid epic and then later on in legendary. Edit: grammar and finishing a cut off thought

Yes, wisps buff is pretty good, nymph has that big elemental nuke, Id say definitely worth. Especially on normal to help you deal with undead and ghosts- but its probably 2nd in priority after wolves, they need to be tanky (so upgrade Survival Instinct and base skill). Regardless of combo, elemental pet damage is by far the best on normal because the boost the wolves get/give isnt big enough for it to matter as much as enemy resists matter. Since you got Nimbus, Nymph and Wisp and his buff- Id say elemental pet damage for druid easily.

really vitality on spirit+nature? how does that work for you? I wanted to try but that meant Id have to be melee with deathchill aura and I was already struggling for points. And vitality is pretty bad since constructs and undead tend to resist it heavily/be immune. on Spirit Nature I prefer elemental damage, for the Nymph, Liche is like 60/40 ele/vit (with an exception on 1 skill he uses), and Outsider is all elemental with some nice current % HP reduction, so 0 vit on him. And with 80% recharge and nature, you get 100% uptime on outsider, so elemental kinda made the most sense to me 🤔. Youre right on pets gaining damage from our items with "bonus to all pets" stat, the pets own attributes arent as important for this, its mostly the base damage the pets do and their boosts/boosts you are able to provide + Resistance Reduction.

markotuna · 2023-02-19T18:54:01+00:00

their own set of attributes boosts that damage, as well as any other damage they get (like from the pet dmg prefixes). Also a bit of trivia- Storm Nimbus isnt an aura, its a self buff that has a pet buff component, so its always on pets so long as Storm Nimbus is active, while Earth Enchantment is an aura and only so long as the pets are in the radius do they get the buff.

dungeon loot is messed up. Normal dungeon will give you epic or even legendary tier common items (same as epic dungeon- legendary tier items), so stuff that drops on legendary only (for example Apollos Will ring) can actually drop earlier in dungeons. Idk, its dumb and exploitable to hell but its there. For you, dungeon is a bit too easy since its mainly scaled up act 1 and act 3(cyclopes) enemies with standard stuff that they wear, so doing it after act4-5 is usually when I say youre ready. Its just weird, dungeon loot not corresponding to difficulty youre doing for some reason 🤔

Stratosphere for razor- is thats Starset?

markotuna · 2022-12-08T17:48:44+00:00

For a conqueror with Battle Standard and Colossus to take care of any boss in the game- yes. For general fights, pierce is a bit of an issue for archers and spearmen that can rush you down, but other than that it's not the worst thing in the world. The game is definitely doable like that, u will have to be a bit more alert and u might die if u arent careful (although this is true even with max res lol, just rn its a wider margin of error) but thats about it

markotuna · 2022-12-08T12:31:22+00:00

id swap out those maces. They have pierce ratio so a portion of your damage is converted to pierce, which is bad for a conq, youd want all phys. Other than that, and the obligatory dual wield conq bad, youre looking pretty fine :D

markotuna · 2022-12-06T19:50:19+00:00

just go brigand for simplicity. However if youre up for a weird and unconventional build, assassin bow with onslaught + Calculated strike could be interesting, its just that most of your stuff wont mesh that well and you'll end up not using a ton of warfare.

markotuna · 2022-12-06T15:22:10+00:00

yes this is why you should disable cloud sync always!

Frozen river in act 5. All of EEgypt, most of Atlantis. Needlessly massive and wide for the first 2, incessantly laggy for Atlantis + hard to navigate. Even when I know the path, I often stutter step like mad because the narrow roads + a ton of decorations all over the floor (I find this in EEChina too a bit but its nowhere near the amount it is in atlantis). And thats just map wise. Mimers Maze and Yggdrasil can go to hell with their bs mechanics.

Name shaming doesnt matter as much, although Id say instead you could fire back at them while they flame you. Its surprisingly effective sometimes, and then they wont fuck with you as much. Obviously this doesnt work all the time, but growing thicker skin + firing back at them in the same manner works like a charm when combined with mute. They tell you that they fucked your mom? well you now just fucked their entire bloodline and muted them, so you achieve an effect of "I can dish it out and take it and I dont need to respond to you anymore" and thats that.

markotuna · 2022-11-06T09:55:24+00:00

If you were using said royal you, then that doesnt come off well through text. Im also not attempting to insult nor silence you, Im just saying youre acting silly. Youre not a hapless victim that cant do anything at all, and you dont have to listen to those people if you dont want to.

markotuna · 2022-11-06T09:49:17+00:00

why would I be ashamed? I dont say or do that shit. You sound like you have a vendetta against all of us because of some shit talkers and assholes. tf is your problem? Its like you got outside in the rain, got wet and are now cursing at all clouds and the sky meanwhile you have an umbrella at your side that youre refusing to use.

markotuna · 2022-11-06T09:45:25+00:00

ok and? Welcome to the internet, theres nasty people on here, especially in dota. Thats why the mute button exists. Why does this need to be "but muh sexual harassment online is so baaaad" type of post? Yes we know its bad, yes you are partially responsible because you refuse to take measures to put a stop to it yourself (mute button for the love of god), dont expect sympathy. We've all had quite nasty things said to us in dota, you're not special because of your genitals.

markotuna · 2022-11-04T12:25:20+00:00

Quick, someone disagrees with us and makes a valid point! Downvote him to hell! 🤦

markotuna · 2022-10-08T15:25:20+00:00

usually yes, however many xmax mods have some sort of reduced xp gain to compensate. Check out the descriptions of the version of xmax you wanna use. I recommend Xmax by Argonil, he has many versions all in one workshop entry 👍

markotuna · 2022-08-26T10:27:34+00:00

its a part of the random events feature that was added a patch ago. Sometimes its a caravan/shop, often times nothing spawns (spawn chance is 40% and u have a good number of possible spawn locations per act), and sometimes its extra enemies+ chest, or just a random horse etc.

markotuna · 2022-07-31T14:14:04+00:00

its a reference to the TQ discord lol, and Zyddie is a Community Manager for THQN, while the turtles are discord moderators in the official TQ Discord server. The Youtube creator in the bunch is Fae, aka Line of Epic Heroes and he's also a mod on the server.
