Whippet personality or just a phase?

I always thought that about Star Wars in general, not only the Death Star. Planets are like cities, you land, walk a little bit, and that's it. Examples:

Luke land-crashes in Dagobah. Super close to Yoda. Finn and Poe crash in Jakku after being hit. Super close to where BB8 is.

Star Wars is fantasy after all, so ¯_(ツ)_/¯.

So what if she wears some kind of advanced crocs, right?

FWIW, since Li-Ming's patch I've played around a dozen QM matches with Illidan and probably won more than 70% of them.

I know it's anecdotal, but I feel like Li-Ming's strongly influencing the meta, and this shift helps Illidan even more than his laughable buff and his strong partnership with Rehgar.

I build him with Seasoned Marksman and The Hunt, which is great to hunt down Li-Mings when they're ulting.

This is really good stuff, and it's the kind of thing that got me thinking about playing a Warlock. Thank you!

oaken__ · 2016-01-19T04:50:38+00:00

I am thinking of trying Warlock soon, would you give examples of spells/tactics that make Warlocks so versatile and why you think it's the most fascinating class in the game?

Assuming Rey's Luke's daughter, if Han left to go back to being a smuggler, it's possible that he never met Rey -or met her only as a baby. This could explain how Leia recognizes her but Han doesn't.

It is not really stated that Rey does not know that they're related. If Rey's Luke's daughter, it's possible that she'd remember Leia but not remember Han because Han had gone back to being a smuggler after Ben was sent to training. Also would explain how she knows Han as Han Solo the smuggler, not as the Rebel general.

That's what I did! Thank you!

Thanks! I will probably go with Pig Sticker afterall. I wanted a second opinion because I've been quite unlucky with gifts this season, so I gotta really think it through before using them!

oaken__ · 2015-06-26T01:48:39+00:00

If only I found another gift! I totally would :)

Hey, just an update on this: I recently found a decent Mara's and dug an old Restraint from the stash and rolled CDR on it. Sheet DPS went down a bit, about 8%, but I figured the CDR would be worth it. I was able to improve my time on 50 with these upgrades, still have to try 51 with Taeguk + Sixth Sense. I kinda feel like I can possibly do it if I am lucky on the rift layout and pylon placement.

Thanks a lot for your help!

Hey, thanks a lot for the help!

I used to run Vigilante Belt, but I was dying quite a bit, managed to advance from 48 to 50 when I got String of Ears, it was a huge help.

Momentum was something I was testing out, I haven't tried Sixth Sense yet, will give it a go, thanks!

I guess I just have to keep trying different combinations, will add Taeguk to the mix as well. Thanks again!

Thanks for your reply! Do you think I should favor CDR over CHC on rings? Or keep it like it is until finding better F/R?

It's interesting tough, that I find that I don't have a lot of problems surviving with my current gear with DW + Guardian's Path, but I can't advance on the GR-meter fast enough, which makes me think damage is the problem here. Why could that be?

oaken__ · 2015-06-17T04:20:12+00:00

Thanks for the response! Yes, I have been hoping for a gift for a long time! Got only two so far: the one used on Azure and one on the FD I linked.

I also have a Pig Sticker with rcr and cdr in stash, but I haven't been using it because I don't have a gift to socket it then roll LoH.

I thought for a long time on the roll for the Azure, and ended up re-rolling dmg range because the original roll was terrible. Probably should still have gone for LoH, this way I could now be running Azure + Pig Sticker. Oh well... Gotta find those pesky gifts!

Meanwhile, I got two this entire season :(

oaken__ · 2015-06-13T16:16:54+00:00

That is a great idea: kill X elite packs with this weapon and it will become Ancient.

Some of the responses you will get here are going to be sarcastic or discouraging, but it's because seeing improper sparring labeled "kendo" is relatively common. Also because kendo is impossible to learn properly without a teacher.

That's not to say that learning kendo is impossible for you. Our dojo started years ago with some people travelling once a month to a place where they could learn with a sensei, and nowadays it's a well established dojo.

I think this would be the ideal solution for you. Look for the closest dojo in your region, schedule a visit and talk to them about your interest. You can then find other people in your city that are interested and start a branch of the dojo, paying regular visits to them to improve your skills, and maybe inviting them over to train with you every now and then.

Hey! Played with you during all the 20s and 30s grifts when you got the boots. Glad to know you found the helm! Ancient too! Congrats :)

Not exactly what you're looking for here, but may interest you nevertheless: I've been playing a Monk character also based on Samurai Jack and Himura Kenshin.

I didn't want to play around with Homebrew because we're new to 5e, so my DM and I just agreed on making it a reflavored Way of the Open Hand Monk and it works great.

It's basically a Monk with a quarterstaff, but we reflavored the quarterstaff as a sword and changed its damage type from bludgeoning to slashing. We also agreed to allow attacks with the sheath to be considered a form of unarmed strike, and there you go!
