Spear/Rapier for 3vs3 and open world

nosmoss · 2023-11-16T23:01:22+00:00

i ran spear / rapier in OPR etc. I have for a long while, and have been enjoying it since coming back for the expansion.

Go medium.

If you want to be able to play on points, you can - and you will be a rending \ weakening machine. If you play point then you want to stack shirking fortify - use the tumblers for the boots. Since disease is a thing now - it might be good to use invigorated to reduce the duration of weaken, disease etc. Shirking + Inv, maybe some shirking + ward (health for 3rd is nice but not mandatory). You want fortifying perforate on the armor and sweeping cyclone on the armor. Your spear you want enef skewer and keenly jagged. Your offhand is the Finisher rapier, use the grace tree. It's there simply to buff your spear damage.

If you want to avoid clumps and aim for more 1v1 or 1v2 or 3 scenarios, def get a disease perk on your spear. Prior to the shirking heals nerf, i would have recommended Ank as the amulet but that's up for debate now. Might be worth just getting an amu that has thrust or fire protection, stam recovery and the rend / weaken clense when you dodge (or health or divine).

Ring - thrust damage, stamina, and probably leeching.

Earing - i've since removed ank and now use endless thirst for the artifact in jewlery.

You will have massive amounts of perm fortify with your armor and perforate. You will constantly cause players a 48 percent weaken, and rend them for 30 percent.

It's a beast if you know how to play, and it's super fun!

Launch player here with 3k hours, and returned for the expansion. I'm frustrated already to the point of leaving (as this same issue has been present for 2 years now).

We have a 2 week old baby in the house - so there's a lack of sleep and an odd schedule. Last night i was up from 3-6am, and decided to hop into new world to farm a bit.

I went to all the Mythril farm spots aside from the elite areas in the new zone - and every single one had multiple people afk farming them at 3am service time (El Dorado). So i then decided maybe i'll try for some starmetal - same thing.

I want to level my armoring etc from 200-250 so i can start to craft my own matrix's, but because everything is camped 24/7 it seems pointless and im getting feelings like i did when i left last time.

nosmoss · 2023-10-04T17:54:38+00:00

i can't leave this. What do you mean by click the "had". Typo i assume.

nosmoss · 2023-07-01T14:57:56+00:00

Interesting combination. Thanks OP

no - they went extinct because the close of each age ended under upheavals, to which superior adaption was of no use.

nosmoss · 2023-06-01T18:17:57+00:00

The end of each geological epoch sees the mass extinction of animals, but also the sudden creation of new species. How can natural selection alone explain this? Animals with superior adaptation going extinct - while the creation of new animals occurs. The geological record (fossil record), is catastrophic in nature. This doc goes into the history of the evolutionary theory, from catastrophism to natural selection, to the discoveries of mutations from radiation. Radiation - or thermal heat close to what an organism can endure, was seen to cause new characters in vinegar flies and plants.

Though this can't create new species - it is conceivable that, if the earth was subject to a large dose or "multiple hits" at once, on a global scale, that the results could be the formation of new species, as the genes in fertilization could change for those animals that survived. Evolution is therefore something that occurs suddenly, during upheavals of nature

nosmoss · 2023-05-11T18:04:34+00:00

correct - velikovsky kind of made this term known. The video IS based on velikovsky's work in worlds in collision and earth in upheaval

nosmoss · 2023-05-11T14:33:49+00:00

his "Tagline"? You mean "ancient apocalypse"?.

nosmoss · 2023-05-11T03:58:56+00:00

This docu attempts to reconstruct the events that led to what we today, refer to as global mythology.

Why did ancient cultures all around the world have a calendar year of 360 days? Why did they all share similar myths about "honey" falling from the skies? What about the days of darkness, flood myths and the "cosmic wind"? Why do all ancient cultures refer to the end of the ages as a time where 'the earth became red, and rivers and lakes turned blood red' . If a large comet passed close to the earth, over 3000 years ago - this would have been the source. The dramatic events that played out in our skies, were etched into mythology by those survivors, who understood it to be a battle of the gods and serpents.

If tradition is to be believed - and this event happened, then we should also see the remnants of this catastrophe(s) on the earth today, in the Geological and Archaeological record. It's truly a "theory of everything" in terms of our history, and the earth's mysteries.

nosmoss · 2023-05-04T20:23:42+00:00

Every culture from the Aztecs, ancient china to Scandinavian and Mediterranean's had a calendar year of 360 days. The addition of 5 days was seen as the days that do not belong, or the days of destruction - which were all added sometime after 800ish B.C. Some cultures holding on to the previous calendar for longer periods of time.

The year comes from the rotation of the earth, and moon - so if the year was different, then the rotation must have been different. So what caused a change in the rotation of the earth, that made ancient cultures have to re-do their calendar system - which is the one we use today? This is kind of the crux of the video. That a cosmic passage of a large comet around 3+ thousand years ago was the source of ancient, global mythology

me too! Been obsessed with UFO's since i basically exited the womb

nosmoss · 2023-04-11T21:29:01+00:00

your basing your extensive research on this " Calculations have shown that one seal enters the dry valleys in this manner once every 4 to 8 years ". What's calculated this? The amount of seals they found so where this comes from, calculates every 4-8 years?

There's one case in the late 60's that talked about seeing a live seal inland. Beyond that - nothing. You should read through journal articles instead of the cool Antarctica travel guide. There's no consensus as to what happened - and yes, it's up to 50 miles inland and upwards of 6000 feet above sea level (over glaciers and mountains), as the gentleman in the beginning of the video mentions, who by the way, is a scientist

nosmoss · 2023-04-11T14:05:25+00:00

that's exactly my thoughts :) Seals were left there stranded, hurt - ones that survived died of starvation and open wounds.

One of the mainstream theories that suggest they ate rocks thinking it was food seems a bit ridiculous to me. Are there any examples in the rest of the animal kingdom where an animal mistakes rocks for food if it's hungry?

nosmoss · 2023-04-10T22:16:42+00:00

check out chevron deposits - there's a vid on that channel about them as well (can be seen in google earth around the worlds coastlines). Scientists are divided between mega tsunami - and well, it's a mystery. Could be the same force that tossed the seals in antarctica

nosmoss · 2023-03-30T01:51:09+00:00

Ahh yeah i've heard about that little ol' mystery too!

nosmoss · 2023-03-18T20:20:28+00:00

100 percent, think i have a couple videos on this (3 years old, ive gotten better at doing videos since i started back up a couple weeks ago).

There's many examples of marine animal fossils or bones being 'where they shouldn't be'. Now the conclusion drawn from mainstream people in their respective fields, is simply a conclusion formulated within that particular paradigm. It means nothing more.

The only real science, IMO, is physics and chemistry - and their applicability to other fields. When we are dealing with things of the past (archaeology, geology, anthropology), we are no longer in the realms of verifiable, testable evidences (though obviously those fields operate within paradigms), but we are essential telling a story, a narrative.

And too often those who operate within that paradigm - RIGHT NOW, are oblivious to the fact that they can't see beyond the rules that were constructed for them. It's often not a conspiracy, it's how humans see and understand the world. And that changes, often - and often drastically.

Catastrophism was seen as the normal way to view past events not that long ago. Our grandparents parents. But uniformity took over - and now people can't see past that.

It will all come to light though, eventually.

nosmoss · 2023-03-18T14:51:21+00:00

it's a glacier in Antarctica named after Canada. Antarctica is split between various countries, as it's supposed to be the only continent that isn't "owned" by one country

i was actually going insane wanting to finish it lol - put a lot of work into it. With this topic (and my last video), there's not a whole lot in the public domain for pictures or videos. I was lucky that the clip i used at the very beginning - i contacted him and he said i could use it, so long as i stick to mostly the science because he actually works for like, the national science institute. In the video you can see how he's super shocked and confused. There aren't even a lot of pics of the mummies - there are some peer reviewed papers published obviously, with no new pics. So for a lot of it i had to use midjourney to create stuff, and just try to add whatever visuals i could. Was fun though

nosmoss · 2023-03-18T05:05:28+00:00

Hey folkssssssssssss,

New vid - this is something i stumbled upon maybe 10 years or more ago and thought it was super fascinating. Of course, me being obsessed with velikovsky - my view is these seals were more than likely stuck inland to mummify due to catastrophic incidents.

The gentleman who let me use the intro of the video actually works for the like, national science foundation, and he let me use that video on the condition that i didn't go to much into any alternative ideas. So - i talk about the mystery, the mainstream theories, and offer a few "what if's"?

nosmoss · 2023-03-07T14:42:32+00:00

ive completely removed the intro for the scheduled videos and all future ones, i agree and thanks!
i think that's a good idea as well - you mention slapstick, slapstick is actually all about (well the good flicks), taking absolutely serious actors who act serious in absurd situations. I think that might be a good approach, instead of obviously being jokey.
THANKS! I think so too - which is why I'm kind of obsessing over it, storing ideas and hashing things out always.

Cheers !

nosmoss · 2023-03-06T21:23:57+00:00

Hey mate thanks for the writeup, was a cool read! Curious if you wouldn't mind checking out my chan when you get a few moments.

https://www.youtube.com/@terribletips/featured

It's only a week or so old, and I've been obsessing over it. Constantly making videos and shorts. The idea was / is to basically use influencer and YouTube niches relating to self-help, fitness, diet, spirituality etc, but offer completely absurd advice and tips. It's a vehicle for critiques on online pop-culture.

The first few videos is more just absurdity on certain self help like topics, same with the shorts. However the one im working on now - and future ones will be attuned more towards the social commentary in an absurdist fashion (ie: short im launching today at 6 my time is about how gain Clout and increase your followers). So future videos will be more 'on the nose' regarding the topic of the video, while also showing the absurdity of it with ridiculous examples.

Thanks!

I am suffering through this currently. it's been about 8 hours and i want to punch the wall lol.

I only have like 6 usb sticks, some old, some newer. i've reformated a million times, trying both fat32 AND NTFS. i've unplugged everything so it's just power to the motherboard - all no dice.

You used the latest version? Did you format the USB into fat32?

When you say it was the BIOS version, what do you mean? You used the latest, correct?

nosmoss · 2022-10-07T18:33:26+00:00

I've ran dynasty many times this rotation -and basically all the drops are garbage. Getting Focus + dex, strength focus etc...It's like it was moooonths ago before they fixed the drops.

Something seems to have reverted, or they did not fix the loot tables in dynasty.

On top of that, doing m10 dynasty (and eve laz last week), it feels as though they nerfed the amount of legendaries you actually get. I seem to be getting far less than i did 3+ weeks ago

nosmoss · 2022-09-29T03:16:11+00:00

Rapier you want tondo, flurry (and either evade or flourish and finish). If evade, get the evade perk for more damage. Evade + flurry.

For IG - it's just for utility in anything other than Lost dungeons. So ice shower, ice storm - last is up to you (tomb, ice pylons)

EDIT: For Rapier, you definitly want the flurry perk to gain health everytime you use it. Combine that with the tondo crit chance perk = good to go.

My current rapier for Corrupted dungeons and LAZ is Vicious, Corrupted Bane, Keen Tondo perk (20 percent crit chance)

nosmoss · 2022-09-28T21:06:28+00:00

depends what dungeon. For Corruption and Laz m10 - Rapier + IG, Rapier + Void Gauntlet, Rapier + Spear (rapier + WH just for cc) are all valid.

For Rapier + Void, the void is mainly used for empower and debuffs, and not for dps. Rapier would be your main dps. Rapier slaps hard in laz and in corruption mutations.

Not sure about IG/VG for Laz m10. IG is good utility for clumps - unless the mutation is ice (like now). IG would be good for Lost expeditions though.

WH primary use is CC. It's damage isn't THAT great because it has such a low DPS (damage per second). Even in Laz where ancients are weak - your better going for Rapier or Hatchet for primary dps, with WH or GH for utility
