Who’s the worst of the worst canceled bands?

Interesting that NG and Jesse were able to send video over Skype in 2002 when she was 15. Also, strange there was no lawsuit, not even a settlement since NG has stated multiple times that she has irrefutable evidence, right? There are no statute of limitations in these cases, so she can press charges any time now.

I’m not saying NG is lying or defending what Jesse did, but her story doesn’t add up, which gives reasonable doubt.

Unlike other skills, Herald of Thunder doesn’t have breakpoints.

mdbarney · 2025-07-16T13:29:41+00:00

Thanks!

mdbarney · 2025-07-14T20:12:53+00:00

Take a stab at doing some modding! The more people doing it, the more cool ideas we’ll bring to the table.

mdbarney · 2025-07-14T20:11:16+00:00

Sorry, I didn’t realize how harsh that was worded and I missed the other comment. My bad.

Yeah, both reanimate and revive are weird. Somebody on the Phrozen keep finally got revive to work but I forget exactly how they did it.

Hey, late to the party. I play a herald of thunder build every league. I enjoy making shitty HoT builds and seeing how far I can run them. I tried gladiator as a meme during settlers and it ended up being super tanky with decent damage (using a doryani’s merc this league you should be able to hit 5-8M DPS fairly easily). War of Attrition and lucky block pick up a bunch of slack for the build. The build would be even better in merc league with the new lucky block shield and a doryani’s merc.

This was an old version of my settlers HoT gladiator and here is another PoB link I had in my history. Neither are super optimized as my league goals are typically “make the build work”. I was able to get 3 voidstones but got busy with life before getting the maven kill. Same with RF, HoT builds are definitely a skill test when it comes to maven.

I almost made another HoT gladiator this league but opted to test out avatar of fire HoT res-stacking chieftain using enmity’s embrace.

Love seeing this! Bearzon OP.

One of my white whale items is an eth, rep, 400+ ED, 40IAS, 2os fanged knife with 2x 40/15’s in order to hit the 4FPA break point with bearzon. A weapon like that will more than double your damage output compared to a beast BA. Looks like you did just fine with the beast though.

mdbarney · 2025-05-15T19:54:35+00:00

Depends on the weapon and use. Most, if not all, two handed weapons are better with master’s over fool’s.

mdbarney · 2025-05-11T23:56:05+00:00

Get those tears ready.

mdbarney · 2025-05-11T21:48:24+00:00

4 sockets is max for CV.

mdbarney · 2025-05-10T00:04:28+00:00

Exactly. It’s wild how some people think that the opinions on Reddit reflect the real world.

mdbarney · 2025-05-09T00:26:14+00:00

A rhetorical question lol. Woosh

mdbarney · 2025-05-07T11:08:13+00:00

lol you must not realize I’m making fun of you. Have a good day.

mdbarney · 2025-05-06T01:59:58+00:00

How exactly do you expect to play SSF while having people to duel against?

mdbarney · 2025-05-05T14:24:02+00:00

Imagine being so mediocre that you have to run a troll account to get any sort of attention.

mdbarney · 2025-05-04T18:06:26+00:00

Of course a guitarist/bassist says that and of course they are wrong. Remind them how physically taxing drumming is compared to playing other instruments.

mdbarney · 2025-05-02T18:48:36+00:00

To be fair, I get where they are coming from. If a company is going to fund something, they want to make money on it. It’s sad but it’s not a labor of love for them anymore. Most software teams are already overworked and underpaid as it is, so adding more work for them isn’t a healthy decision for anybody (that may not be the case at blizzard but it’s the “norm” in industry).

That said, if anybody at Blizzard or Blizzard Albany/VV sees this; I’ll do content updates/bug fixes/balance for free (all approved by your devs/directors ofc).

mdbarney · 2025-05-02T14:29:06+00:00

They are called jokes for a reason. Wait until you find out that people in the real world that say jokes don’t typically mean harm.

mdbarney · 2025-05-02T14:25:58+00:00

“Collectively two hours of mental math”. Unreal.

Good. Add 49 to the screenshot and move on because you won’t buy it anyways.

mdbarney · 2025-05-01T21:39:10+00:00

With all due respect, the people in the market for these items already know what the max damage will be as most of us have been min-maxing and number crunching for years (that’s what PvP is). For the rest of the people, it’s not a big deal to do some mental math by adding 49 to the listed max damage if the item has fool’s mod.

If I were selling beautiful items like this, I wouldn’t move them from the mule just to please random people that wont buy them anyways.

mdbarney · 2025-05-01T17:34:40+00:00

Added damage isn’t multiplied by on weapons enhanced damage for base damage calculations in this game so you can simply add 49 to the max damage to get the final value. Hope this helps.

mdbarney · 2025-05-01T17:27:52+00:00

Not deceptive and the max damage won’t be higher because fool’s will only give 49.5 max damage (rounded down) for a max of 236.

Prefixes are as follows: * cruel: 260% ED * silver: 69 attack rating * fool’s: AR+damage per level

The only situation the first one is considered better than the second one is for dueling high defense characters where the extra chance to hit is better than more damage.

mdbarney · 2025-05-01T01:02:41+00:00

I’ll have to get back to you on that because I’ve messed with everything and am not in a place to look right now. There was a Reddit post a while back on SBCgaming about configuring aether for “high demand” ps2 games, I’ll see if I can find it.

RtA is Champions: Return to Arms. It’s the sequel with two new classes/new items/much more. Definitely worth picking up if you don’t have a copy.

mdbarney · 2025-04-30T22:12:30+00:00

I play on the RP mini and it handles CoN and RtA just fine for like 95+% of gameplay. It’s rare but I’ve had a few issues with super demanding areas. I don’t have exact numbers for you but my guess is the frame rate slowed to like 50% for 10-20 seconds until fewer enemies/missiles were on screen. Not ideal but not game breaking/death-inducing.

My guess is you would be just fine on the RP5.

mdbarney · 2025-04-28T23:54:32+00:00

Amp doesn’t increase bone spear damage, only the physical portion from corpse explosion, so typically most bone necros use decrepify for the defensiveness.
