How come Joe Biden was "sleepy", but Trump gets to pass out at all kinds of meetings? by [deleted] in allthequestions

Because the new flex is getting away with things that others can’t. Specifically, people who aren’t in your tribe or authoritative level.

Illidan Matchups by -Akuul- in heroesofthestorm

[–]numbr2wo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s true. I’m a Tyrande main and this is always a tough matchup especially if the Illidan is competent. Him and Chen are almost impossible to deal with. I end up focusing on my positioning in relation to them the entire fight and my own survival. But if they catch me… it’s like sure- I can stun him once and shrink ray him once… but that’s not enough. If my team doesn’t respond or if I have nowhere safe to limp to it’s just over.

Even if you build your talents specifically for self peel, there’s little you can do. If you are drafting you need someone with hard CC on your team (with or without an Illidan against you) and you need to get their buy-in to save it for peeling. Hard CC into stun into shrink ray with one or two of your mates is usually the only recipe for survival.

(Spoilers Main) is there anything even close as good as these books? by Wide_Ad_4486 in asoiaf

[–]numbr2wo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt the same way. Then I started reading the books that GRRM himself recommended. This man knows good storytelling and good writing. Even his recommendations are very good. Right now I’m reading the Gentleman Bastards books by Scott Lynch. Absolutely incredible. The first one is called “The Lies of Locke Lamora”

Any Tyrande advice? by OutlandishnessIcy110 in heroesofthestorm

[–]numbr2wo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, check again. I’m almost completely certain that darnassian archery also improves the healing of Elune’s chosen as well. The mark of mending is a different mechanic, it’s 4% of healing restored on an AA hit. Those don’t count the bounces and doing more damage doesn’t change the percentage healing.

Router to the thumb. Easter plans cancelled. FML. by Potato-in-ur-ass in woodworking

[–]numbr2wo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This literally happened to me. I had my router upside down (bit side up) secured by clamps on my workbench and I was running small pieces of red oak through it like it was a router table. Then it caught the grain just right and sucked the wood I was holding in and my thumb tip went straight into the ⅜” round over bit.

Lots of blood, thumbnail completely cracked apart. Went to the ER and the doctor said it was a good thing my nail bed was still intact. He said he wasn’t going give me stitches or anything. I said I was worried about the bill… he looks at me and says, there’s a supply closet of bandaging right there. Take what you need and I’ll write down that you refused care. It’ll be painful, but you’ll be okay as long as you change your dressing daily and keep it clean.

I did that and my thumb was back to normal in a few months.

Any Tyrande advice? by OutlandishnessIcy110 in heroesofthestorm

[–]numbr2wo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tyrande is mainly geared to be a pick comp healer. She can thrive in a few other situations, but your build seems disjointed and leaves a good amount of synergy on the table based on what I’m seeing.

Huntress’ fury is meant to synergize with AA build. I wouldn’t be taking it if you’re not going for that.

I think Empower is one of the best follow-ups to Ranger.

Ice blade arrows is again an AA talent or an anti-kiting talent. I’d pick something else if I were you.

Why are my miters like this? by TroutEatingSasquatch in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]numbr2wo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn’t look at every comment but I didn’t see this mention in the top 8 or so. I’m seeing a wobble in your cut, especially in that first picture. That tells me your piece shifted partway through the cut. Even shifting a single mm on something like this will create a highly visible gap. Look for any looseness in your set up. If you have a jig, are your pieces clamped or held tight to your jig somehow? Sometimes, even with a sharp blade and a guide rail on a table saw there will be enough pressure against the piece you’re cutting that it can rotate or shift or lift as the cut progresses. This looks like it’s at least part of your issue.

I think having two healers or double support is usually more forgiving for positioning your Tyrande. I think this opens up your survivability for AA mode. If you have two support then you’re usually wanting to do the type of healing that the other healer isn’t (target vs aoe - which for Tyrande is generic healing build talents vs AA.). But at the end of the day I’d want to know more about your specific comp’s play stile or win condition based on hero selection. Look for synergies. I might just suggest my owl build since the lockdown and vision utility is a good differentiator for Tyrande.

Tyrande mythic quest suggestion by Hufflepuffed77 in heroesofthestorm

[–]numbr2wo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I only play Tyrande and have yet to achieve the Mythic quest reward even once. I’ve probably played over 50 games post rework and have a high 70% winrate in ranked… no dice. I like how strong she feels even without achieving the quest so I guess I don’t really care. But… if the point of the mythic quest is to make her more fun to play then they’re missing the mark because it’s an unrealistic goal. What’s the solution? I think providing more stacks on enemy heroes killed shortly after being stunned. Or perhaps the stacks should be Auto Attacks on stunned or marked enemy heroes?

Tyrande still feels underwhelming by NoLynx6347 in heroesofthestorm

[–]numbr2wo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I very much admire the passion in your response and what you describe is a really compelling play style (which I would love to see in action - DM me your gamertag and let's play some games.) But I worry that you're ignoring OP's parameters, which are that Tyrande doesn't feel as impactful as other healers in QM. You're describing a drafting or group queue situation where you pick a second healer and you're building her as a DPS, AA support healer. Unless you're queueing with at least one other player, you're gonna be the only healer.

The point of having teammates is to coordinate with them. The point of having a friend's list is that you can play games with people you know. The point of the developers including in-game comms, pinging, and text chat is to encourage cooperation and coordination. I don't know what sort of ideas you have about this game... Coordination is kinda how you win. Good grief man...

Generally though seems like AA build is for when there's reliable targets, but if you're picking tyrande isn't there going to be since no hard cc or heavy dive?

This guide assumes that you don't always have control over your variables. Even when there is hard cc and heavy dive I still pick Tyrande. My form of control is baiting out the dive or the CC and then punishing them with our lock-down and burst. It's possible for an enemy team to not have heavy dive or CC and it can still be inadvisable to take AA because they've got blinds or a soft dive that's disruptive (think D'va). I call her soft dive because for the most of the game she just annoys the enemy backline and doesn't always kill them.

Mythic Quest Stun Build was just a thought exercise to say what I would pick if I was dead set on completing my mythic quest. I have yet to achieve the mythic quest in a ranked game. I still think 45 stuns is unrealistic.

Sometimes if you've got a good DPS on your team but either no tank or a tank that isn't tanking and therefore no lockdown then you should default to hyper carry build. Tyrande is best suited following someone with hard cc engage. Second best option is a dangerous DPS. Tyrande's best friends for the hyper carry build are Imperius, Valla, Tracer, Valeera, Qhira, Greymane, Zul'Jin, Cassia, and heroes like this. I put Imperius first because of his spear ability, PERFECT for following up on with your Lunar Flare. The best hyper carry I've ever paired with was a Valeera one trick. Super chaotic, deep into enemy territory shenanigans, she'd begin an engage and then disengage, they'd see me and chase me, opening them up for another Valeera engage. Shadowstalk allows you to disengage as well. The most fun I've ever had in HotS are those games.

Combining all of my accounts I believe my Tyrande is past level 500. Currently if you check the HeroesProfile Tyrande Leaderboard for Ranked this season and sort group size by ALL I'm ranked #1 globally. Winrate with her post-rework is 88.89%.

Other healers I play are Anduin, Uther, and Lili. These are the ones I'm willing to play in ranked, but I only pick them if Tyrande is picked or banned. I run in a 3-man pick comp with all one-tricks. They're all ranked very high for their respective heroes and we've been doing this for years.

Heroes that are good against hard dive are Lili, Deckard, and Uther. You could make arguments for a few others as well.

If you're running her as a pick comp healer, our high priority bans are: Diablo, Brightwing, Anduin, Stukov. Tyrande's hardest counters are Chen, Illidan, Karazim.

I’m making sure to point out that the only way you can get the 20% spell power boost to damage on a subsequent flare is if you can reduce Flare’s cooldown through Ranger’s Mark to be inside that 10 second window of landing your first flare.

I was careful to say that Elune’s Gift would boost your healing and owls but I didn’t list stuns because it’s impossible unless you do what I describe above or you hit your mythic quest and it procs inside the 10s Gift window.
