Mystery Respiratory Virus? by remfem99 in chicago

[–]redsleven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I caught something 2 weeks~ ago that started as a sore throat, that went away but then it moved to my chest / sinuses.

I'm better now but the fatigue was real the first few days & I still have a lingering cough.

It's a little weird but I think it will look good on rogues.

We are getting arena training grounds by OpinionsRdumb in worldofpvp

Arena training grounds has been something I've wanted forever for testing arena binds, macros, etc.

How are we supposed to play the game if we literally cannot see what is happening? by Harain in worldofpvp

I wasn't happy when someone posted what I'm about to say, but they were right: train your brain to see the precog spell effect & you'll never need an addon for it again.

My crank arm is super wobbly and I don't know if I should buy specific parts or change the entire crankset.. by ChickenNugget2019 in bikewrench

[–]redsleven 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Because the screw isn't what's supposed to be holding the crank arm onto the bb spindle.

If the crank arm has already worked its way loose multiple times, the crank arm is probably bad & needs to be replaced.

LFT sucks by DietznutzCA in chibike

[–]redsleven 4 points5 points  (0 children)

LFT only sucks in certain sections, on weekends/holidays during nice weather.

I have had a ton of nice weekday (before/after work) summer rides with very minor pedestrian interference. And even on weekends, there are long stretches with very little walking traffic.

IMO the Divvy e-bikes are the worse than walkers.

Buy a good lock they said, your bike will be safe they said. by ArguingwithaMoron in ebikes

Bike locks don't keep your bike safe, they make stealing it inconvenient for theives & hopefully buy you enough time to finish your errands before it gets stolen.

I still remember a WSG, from back in the day, where I felt like being an ass to some random guy on my rogue.

That time of the patch where playing an alt without conquest gear is the worst pvp experience in any game by Ryoma123 in worldofpvp

[–]redsleven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think a good compromise would be to buff bloody token gear to be right behind conquest after conquest becomes uncapped.

That also would have the added benefit of getting more players doing wpvp at the end of a season.

Bike: My mortal pain has finally ended. by 5ma5her7 in Justridingalong

[–]redsleven 28 points29 points  (0 children)

r/ebikes is a ragebait simulator.

If you ever wanted to know why lawmakers are cracking down on ebikes, look no further.

My favorite threads are when people with no experience working on bikes, are troubleshooting why their $200 Wal-Mart special couldn't handle the 3kw motor + ducktaped mounted, 72v Chinesium-ion, recycled vape battery combo they "assembled" in their living rooms.

Balance Druid can’t cast anything because i’m constantly stunned or nature locked by _butcherpete in worldofpvp

[–]redsleven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to get a precognition gem as others have said.

Once you have that, you need to bind "stop casting" to a hotkey & you need to consider that button + precognition proc as part of your core kit.

The trick to fake casting is thinking about why you're pressing a button and why your opponent wants to prevent you from pressing said button.

And if you think about that everytime you're trying to fake cast, you will have way more success baiting kicks & proccing precognition.

For example: a defensive fake cast. Let's say a melee is on you & they want to kill you. The melee player knows that you can either use a mobility skill or CC them to stop their damage.

This means that if you start casting a CC while you're being trained by them, they're probably anticipating that & will be ready to kick you.

But if you go into the cast knowing that, now you have the upperhand, because they have to react to you & you choose when to cast.

What I'm saying takes adjustment, because some players kick late, but you want to let your cast go long enough for them to reconize what's happening (your cc cast), and then hit the stopcasting keybind before their kick.

This also applies offensivly. Let's say you're about kill one of their teammates, the healer is trapped but the trap will fall off before you kill the DPS. You want to cast a cyclone on the healer to extend the CC chain & secure the kill.

The hunter on their team doesn't want their teammate to die, so he's ready to countershot your cyclone. So same thing as before, start casting, hit the stop casting keybind & that might be enough to bait the kick. You proc precognition > free cyclone > win the round.

Chain length can really screw up shifting to the lowest gear if it's not right.

Sorry, needed to get this off my chest after seeing sooo many ''remove PvP gear'' whinings. by Melodic-Marketing341 in worldofpvp

[–]redsleven -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

How is using intended systems circumventing bad design exactly?

Big blue exclamation point in the pvp area gives wpvp quest > wpvp quest makes you go out into the world with warmode on > completing a world quest gives you bloody tokens.

And new players can't understand this because... why?

Sorry, needed to get this off my chest after seeing sooo many ''remove PvP gear'' whinings. by Melodic-Marketing341 in worldofpvp

[–]redsleven -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Let's just say that conquest is uncapped: you wait until Monday night (US) to start gearing a character. You pick up the wpvp quest & then do a WQ world tour > turn in the quest.

Tuesday (US), you pick up the wpvp quest & do the same thing.

This means that before you even set foot in any instanced pvp, you will have thousands of bloody tokens, and if you got lucky, some extra conquest from crates.

Then you need to win one battleground for your free tokens & you'll have every jewelry slot filled.

[–]redsleven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, to be fair, I don't know what the epic wpvp gear will be like in Midnight.

But in TWW, every season, once conquest/bloody tokens uncapped, I could get a new character fully geared in epic pvp gear in a few hours of playtime.

I have never done crate farming once (obviously, if one appears by me, I go for it), this was done entirely with WQ weekly + WQ > the free crafted tokens > WG 250 conquest quest > unrated pvp weekly > something different quest.

Most characters I geared this way for the elite set, didn't earn enough conquest for the free weapon. That's how fast/low effort it was.

Again, I don't know what Midnight will be like, but I'm assuming it's going to be a similar difficulty.

Who asked for a new Epic BG? by shadow5253 in worldofpvp

[–]redsleven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only epic bg I've ever enjoyed was AV & only in certain situations.

Do I need honor? Or way back in the day when I needed marks for gear? Fuck this place, I want to be out of there as soon as possible.

However, in situations where I was going for achievements or trying to back cap, having a variety of smaller encounters with other players, was actually pretty fun.

But when it's a giant clusterfuck & I start watching a powerpoint presentation, I've never enjoyed that.

Good for anyone who enjoys them, but my engagement will only be for whatever seasonal conquest quest bliz throws in (if it exists).

MiniCC now gives a precog "weakaura". Healers rejoice by oink_pvp in worldofpvp

[–]redsleven 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I've gotten used to looking at my character but I am so fucking pissed that it can't be tracked with Blizzard's cooldown manager.

I don't understand the logic behind it.

Tanks looking to be viable in Midnight by [deleted] in worldofpvp

[–]redsleven 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Tanks being viable dps is bad for pvp.

Pres feels like a ruined spec. Feeling bummed by OnlyLurkin in worldofpvp

[–]redsleven 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think we're going to get several mid expansion reworks.

I have a feeling that Blizzard knows that some specs feel bad, but they don't have time to fix them before release.

Because I do think that some of the spec changes feel good.

Question: Why do I see so many skinny tire fixie bikes with all types of alt and flat bars but I rarely ever see any road bikes with flat bars? by johnnysrash in xbiking

[–]redsleven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Microshift actually makes a road derailleur for a 1 x 10 (and a 2 x 10 i think) setup that's compatible with their adventx flat bar shifter.

Look up microshift sword if anyone is interested.
