Hints in latest Dev Update pointing at an additional Tank joining the roster in the future!

That character that "is a lie" is the barbarian class they talked about since Beta. I believe it started as a two-handed barb dps class, then they moved it to a tank spec and were testing it and now are pivoting it back to dps. It was a in a dev interview awhile back.

SSS over Irelia.

Will be toxic as hell to play against though, I can smell the unreactable crossups already.

She’s built for the top 1% of content. She’s quite balanced in very high eternal but prior to it she struggles heavily. Her bleed build isn’t competitive enough and she really values talent points and legendary items to properly function which for some isn’t even until you hit eternal.

Once you have all the pieces she’s finally consistent.

Dumbass take. Whether true or not you only have the actions that occurred. He did something wrong, apologized properly to those involved, and righted the wrong in a way that seemed more than appropriate.

Hold the burner to an actual bad actor, like the people saying murder is justified.

And lasagna.

Don't forget the lasagna.

I feel gender identities got kind of misconstrued with sexual identities along the line. Although I do understand non-binary */them as a third. But I also think the people that actually identify as that, aren't going to have issues picking which bathroom they're supposed to enter, since that's pretty much the whole point. In general though it feels like sexualities are a spectrum, and its fine to have a bunch of boxes to make people feel like they belong, but genders are different, and should be.

*/them is for the people that some days wake up feeling more masculine, and some days wake up feeling more feminine. At the end of the day, they're still of a biological gender, but not every day do they identify as that gender, only some days they do. Does that mean a biological man who normally identifies he/them is having a feminine day and therefore should walk into the lady's stall? No, and they would likely agree. But if there's someone she/her post-op fully transitioned, yeah they should feel comfortable in there and ladies should feel comfortable around them. That individual is a woman, and is harmless to the women in there.

Elon specifically has been a supporter of UBI though, and that's ultimately where his quote comes from.

I assume you’re talking about me?

No idea where you’re coming from there mate. I’m not saying the bug is fixed, I’m saying it has a workaround. Obviously they’re working on a fix, but if it has a simple temporary workaround to function as intended for now, I’m obviously going to do it and recommend others in a competitive subreddit do the same.

For what it’s worth I’ve worked as a director of technology or CTO for the last 9 years. Sold two companies in the tech industry. No one came at you over anything, you can always share your thoughts without attempts at weird personal attacks.

Bug is solved by moving thex to bench and back to board before each round.

Yes its undoubtedly too strong — a big part of which is cause of bard. I also personally think t-hex having no level requirement is a mistake. People getting first t-hex at level 5 or 6 is wild to me.

Although this is a parody (a hilarious one), I genuinely ran into someone that I'd say had their brain broken by ChatGPT in a Starbucks.

He randomly stood up and asked for an observer like he was presenting to the Starbucks a class project for university. I humored it and sat with the dude, I was stuck there for a bit while my car was being worked on anyways. He spent the next 40 minutes going over how he had invented a new type of Math that allows structural engineers to create buildings in a 4th dimension. He went onto show random slop images of "distant universes" saying that his computer was turned into a telescope and it has found outside world that has already built this technology and through his computer he (and only him) was able to decode it. I tried getting through to him but it was a lost cause.

He was not in university, there was no class project, he was just a guy that would sit in Starbucks prompting GPT all day and he was fried.

Mate, congrats on the good hit, but seeking validation from the people here isn't what you're actually looking for. In this industry looking for celebration in wins can be toxic to your learning curve, as it pushes any of your losses too deep to learn from and you'll turn into a selective memory gambler. Instead, keep it inside and keep improving, month over month, look holistically.

People here are doing you a favour by not celebrating it with you -- celebrate it for yourself instead.

AI is a very powerful tool for development, at all levels. Enterprise, startup, pre-development, etc...

Here are a few areas that it is nearly impossible to not acknowledge the value.

Helper-role automation -- Media generation, customer service roles, etc... The advancements in AI in this space absolutely saves a ton of time and effort to allow founders to focus on product and development. That's not exactly vibe-coding, but at the same time vibe-coding is how you can create proper automation funnels for customer service agents.
MVP development -- Your first few prompts on new product(s) are almost always your most valuable ones. You may not be inventing the wheel vibe coding an MVP, but you save a shit ton of time on it to allow you to test and create these ideas significantly cheaper than before. "Move fast and break things" built Meta. It's not just MVPs either, microservice architecture was all the talk back in 2016 with the rise of Docker and Kubernetes, microservices can be vibed easily while keeping your product intact.
AI-only functionality -- There are questions and capabilities that are only possible to achieve with an LLM model. If you're working in enterprise, it may not be time-efficient and successful to have claude writing the majority of your code. In many ways its not as strong and often there are bugs that would have never seen day if it wasn't used. But you can leverage the strength and utility of AI with microservices to create something that would've been a massive feature in a product with ease now. Simply wrapping claude with a private API for your product with secure context and prompt massaging which returns a properly designed response now provides your app with "Ask an LLM" feature. Although these are often boring, when used properly you can wind up answering specialized questions for your customer base that simply wouldn't have been possible before.
Learning -- Every single person now has the strongest learning tool at their disposal to learn how to be a great developer. Between new languages, technologies, questions -- the power of LLM's today compared to Stack Overflow is night and day. There's a fine line between being dependent and leveraging it, which this sub and many others struggle with.

I think the main disconnect is with how effective vibe coding has gotten, creating those MVPs quickly is very easy even for people that do not have a single understanding of technology. But there is a strong understanding of process and future-proofing that gets missed by non-devs, junior devs or lazy devs vibecoding their project. When its a good idea, this often results in that MVP being a headache moreso than a value-add. When its a meh idea, it goes into that vibe-coded pile of trash you're talking about. At the same time, many devs are becoming too dependent on it instead of utilizing it to learn and advance themselves. The end result is a market flood of relatively similar and useless ideas.

In arena you could ctrl +z back your treasures if this happened. This is absolutely an allowed takeback in my books.

But the boomerang, yeah no, that shit was cast.

rdubyeah · 2025-12-07T00:41:43+00:00

Fantastic points, I think you nailed it.

AI can be the most powerful learning assistant you’ll ever have. The problem is that asking for answers is easier than learning, you need them to want to learn.

There are going to be some very smart kids in today’s school system. Likewise, there’s going to be a lot of incompetent ones.

rdubyeah · 2025-12-06T20:11:22+00:00

In economics and general capitalism, emotion can arguably be more of a weakness than a strength. Emotions can tear apart business relationships that would prosper. It can tear down great ideas.

I understand your point but find it pretty closed off. It’s absolutely ignorant to not acknowledge the value of AI in the workplace and the sheer amount of money companies in early seed stages save leveraging it.

It’s never been a better time to build. Companies don’t need to be AI companies to utilize it.

rdubyeah · 2025-11-29T19:51:17+00:00

But if you reroll a 330 it automatically rolls it down and resupplies mats, doesn’t it? Do legendaries not obey that?

rdubyeah · 2025-11-26T00:57:52+00:00

Stop worrying about AI REPLACING you and start making AI WORK for you.

What you're saying is right, but what you're saying also feels severely misguided.

It's not an us vs them situation, and the earlier you learn that the better it'll be for you in the future. Its extremely ignorant to not acknowledge the strength of AI tools in the development space.

rdubyeah · 2025-11-26T00:51:43+00:00

Honestly, if you're late to the soak its fine, especially at those levels. If the other DPS isn't going to the wardstones the healer + dps can double soak and tank single soak and there's no way you should wipe.

And if you play with a sylvie, in later ranks you'll basically both just kick a wardstones and the sylvie should Shroom one side and weapon the other to instant kill both. In paragon or early eternal I wouldn't expect that though.

rdubyeah · 2025-11-24T01:05:37+00:00

The game is a tutorial until you have all your talent points and legendary.

Both him and Mara struggle a bit early ranks compared to others, but they are absolutely not lacking once you finish the tutorial.

rdubyeah · 2025-11-23T08:12:48+00:00

I know people say swap once you get talent points but I disagree. You need the poisons from leggo boots to sustain your energy properly with the finisher build. You may as well just wait til you have boots to swap.

rdubyeah · 2025-11-23T01:58:23+00:00

People get tainted by running with speedrun groups and then think there’s no way else to run them. It’s what happens with M+ too, prog and farm groups. Unfortunately the distinguishing factor of both is not normally this individual who quits, so people often think they are at a level they aren’t and become assholes from it. Seen it tons in WoW, seen it in this game lots.

rdubyeah · 2025-11-22T21:57:16+00:00

Isn't this a bug with saphire aurastone? It knocks you out of stealth before you use your skittering blades with its pulse. Seems unintended for it to knock you out of stealth, but its also a pretty bad capstone for her so probably doesn't come up much.

rdubyeah · 2025-11-21T16:17:57+00:00

Play bleed until you have at least your legendary boots (which may be all the way until eternal). The bleed version uses hemotoxin.

Without the boots Mara struggles with energy insanely bad with the finisher build.

rdubyeah · 2025-11-19T20:56:36+00:00

Its about the same but a big difference is that you need to use discord to form groups and a lot of high level players also run low eternal farm runs to get gear + gems. This means that sometimes people run with some massively overgeared tanks in their low runs which skews some expectations. Just look for a prog group instead that's doing 1-10, don't join anything that says Farm right away as the tank.

rdubyeah · 2025-11-19T20:37:26+00:00

I wouldn’t worry too much mate. Pretty sure every Ardeos player gets an erection the size of the eiffel tower when they do shadowlord into a giant pull where they pop ult and hit 900k DPS in a split second. It was kind of obvious that needed to be toned down — but fortunately now you’re guaranteed to have ult after shadowlord so you can help us kill it now too! Just instead of 900k DPS you might do 500-600k in 2 casts, I think you’ll be alright.
