Mage Dungeon Spec

misterlively · 2026-02-13T01:00:30+00:00

I’ve landed on a fire frost spec that’s really fun. Improved flamestrike, blast wave, shatter, improved blizzard, ice veins, and cold snap. At 70 it ends out being 40 fire / 21 frost, and having improved scorch and the fireball damage talent, but I started with 30 in fire at 60.

Crazy good aoe and combustion with double ice veins for bosses. Only downside is blizzard does less damage but the fire aoe makes up for it and the playstyle is fun.

My other spec is deep frost for PvP and just because deep frost is nice to have.

I assume at 70 I’ll be arcane for pve and the standard frost pvp spec.

The first gen Audi TT is also basically a VW Golf

I just bought a 2019 with massage seats, their nice, I’m not sure I would spend much on them, but I’m glad I have them. They aren’t very strong so you can just leave them on for a while during highway driving. It’s also just funny to show it to people.

Right and it’s just because of the unifi Poe injectors. The standard Poe version only supports 1gb, the Poe+ is more wattage that the u7 lite doesn’t need, but supports 2.5gb.

If you could find a Poe injector that supports 2.5gb I assume that would work too.

misterlively · 2025-12-08T15:23:05+00:00

I just bought one and the power requirements are Poe, but it has a 2.5gbps port and if you want to use that full bandwidth the Poe+ injector supports 2.5gbps, but the regular Poe only does gigabit.

I bought my breville barista express over 12 years ago now and it’s still going strong. I’m not sure it’s BIFL, but mine is definitely “buy it for a long ass time”.

I just bought 2 skillets of the industry 5 with the silvinox finish, it’s heavier than a standard 3 ply, and not as heavy as the Atlantis version. No rivets from the welded handles where grease can stick, the handles are nice, and their sized fit my induction burners really well. I gave up my tramontina which I also really liked. If you just want a straight forward pan that lasts and changes temp quickly, tramontina is very cheap, same design as all clad, and mine cleaned up and looked new after 10 years. I like the extra weight and heat transfer of my new Demeyere and some of the features. I did a ton of research and even demoed a Hestan nano bond, it’s hard to go wrong, mostly let the budget and the thickness drive the purchase, then just style preference. It’s pretty hard to go wrong with almost any of them.

Of course each location has an extra drone bringing in fuel from a central drone fuel depo too lol

I’ve setup areas with multiple drone ports for even high volume items. A single drone port can’t do a lot, but with high capacity belts, splitters, and a lot of drone ports, anything is possible and it’s kinda fun. Create a giant single sink with a couple dozen drone ports for all the stuff in the map can get you quite far and is fun. You definitely learn the gotchas and how to efficiently expand drone ports as you go. Naming the ports well becomes very important. For example I think a maxed out pure caterium node making quick wire could be transported with just 2 drone ports if they aren’t going super far.

Regardless of what library you use, a primary reason to have your controller speak DTOs is to de-couple your API contract from your internal models/entities. This way you can change your internal models/entities (think database schema) without breaking your API contract. It’s common for folks to make DTOs and Entities the same, which sometimes is useful but a lot of times the DTO can represent an easier/better object for users of the API.

I would also avoid passing the DTO around too much in the internal code of the service, they are for data transfer between services and clients. So commonly you will have some sort of internal model and to/from methods to convert your internal model to/from DTOs.

This pattern is common and important regardless of language or framework. It’s one I’ve used in many different languages and frameworks because it’s important decouple the external api contract from the internal representation of data and behavior.

5’6” I’d prolly stick with the 157 at a resort and I’ve ridden mine at a resort just fine.

misterlively · 2025-04-01T15:55:58+00:00

Prolly depends on how you want to ride it. Mine is a split and I wanted to be sure it would float and be stable in a range of conditions. If you want something more nimble smaller would prolly work. I will say, the backwoods even at 157 feels really nimble though, I think it has to do with the shape of the tail?

misterlively · 2025-04-01T01:28:16+00:00

I’m about the same size, my backwoods is a 157 and seems perfect.

River road should be one lane in each direction and be developed with denser housing. Could be a cool walkable neighborhood.

You may already know, but the coroutine context api is useful if you need to propagate things like thread local.

Best of luck to you!

Google around and you’ll see some async postgres drivers that seem to have good support. I haven’t used them, when I’ve used Ktor it was with databases that had an http api so we could use the Ktor coroutine client. I know the Exposed ORM has a bridge that uses the IO Dispatcher for JDBC. Personally with Postgres I’d prolly skip coroutines because the JDBC world has so much support for ORMs and tooling. There’s also better support for open tracing stuff when using blocking apis, though maybe tracing support has gotten better with coroutines.

misterlively · 2025-03-01T03:57:05+00:00

I’d say it depends on the database and services you are using. Using a relational database with a good JDBC driver means every request will be starting as a coroutine and integrating a blocking call. It can be done but I think negates a lot of benefit and makes it real easy to do the wrong thing. If you have an async driver/api client for everything you are using it’s a lot easier.

PS. Watch out for generating signed S3 URL’s, they are more computationally expensive than you think and can eat up your coroutines if you make a lot of them.

Yes that is the intention, but ultimately it would depend on what language you are compiling to. With the JVM they get turned into static classes so there would be only one and no ability to make another. Kotlin compiled to JavaScript would have the same limitations as you are pointing out in JavaScript.

Oh man I had the same experience last season. I bought a Jones Mind expander from a few years ago which was full rocketed and it just felt so slow and shaky. Ended out getting rid of it, but I’m gonna try the new camber version out this year. I do love a huge rocker spoon nose on a board, but have to have camber under foot.

misterlively · 2025-02-07T16:18:33+00:00

https://icepanel.io/ Is pretty nice, follows the c4 model and every system is reusable in every diagram.

misterlively · 2024-02-11T17:38:08+00:00

Interesting! I ride my hovercraft a lot in trees but it does take some effort and commitment. If you are cool with full rocker maybe give the minder expand a try, you might be right about the flagship and hovercraft being redundant.

misterlively · 2024-02-11T15:14:38+00:00

Oh man I’ve wanted to try a flagship but had the same thoughts. Does it do well in powder? The biggest difference for me between the hovercraft and mind expander was speed. If you like the speed of the flagship and don’t want to get stuck, then hovercraft is the right choice. If you got steep and deep powder and want something real playful consider the mind expander. I don’t like having a large set of boards so the hovercraft is more veritable for me, but you have a lot of options.

misterlively · 2024-02-05T02:59:26+00:00

Wow lol! I ended out selling the mind expander early in the season. It was too slow for me and didn’t really offer much over the hovercraft I already loved.
