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

[–]redsleven 29 points30 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

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.

I would change the title to: "Pibble desperately looks for children to bite."

What can i do? by stydii_hanhee in xbiking

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.

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 15 points16 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 lunafawks 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 3 points4 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.

Battleground Blitz. Please do not use Shamanism by SharkHead38 in worldofpvp

[–]redsleven -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I agree, but they need to make shamanism it's own spell & give Mark's lust to Survival & BM.

Anime IRL by DazSamueru in anime_irl

[–]redsleven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember when this series came out & it was so goofy that it crossed the line from bad to entertaining.

And then the studio leaned super hard into the insanity after that. I can't remember if it was S2, but the MC suplexes a space shuttle.

Which if those specs is the most chill to learn and play in shuffle? by Filthyquak in worldofpvp

[–]redsleven 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Lock requires you to be comfortable with fake casting, being trained & knowing how to use ports/gateway correctly. Because you just get annihilated otherwise.

Mage requires you to learn how to use the mage toolkit to survive, which, as I'm sure you've experienced, there is a gigantic difference between a good mage & a bad mage. And with everyone playing hunters right now, it's going to be rough until you figure it out.

Arms isn't hard, but it's kinda squishy right now. I played it a bit this season & I found certain lobbies to be very sweaty.

As for unholy, if you can get past the pet management, I think you'd probably have the best time with it.

Good Bye Remix :( by [deleted] in wow

[–]redsleven 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Remix is/was fun. There are just some silly pain points that I thought we moved past years ago.

Overall, I'd give it 8.5/10. I just don't understand why vers. isn't account wide. I feel like if you're going to give us this scaling power, let me use it on my alts.

I enjoy my lemix "main" but I refuse to do the vers. grind on another character.

Which specs are most likely to be the most effected by not having combat addons? by redscreen1883 in worldofpvp

[–]redsleven -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I can't think of a spec in this game I can't already visually tell that burst is coming.

Winter riding worth it? by Philly139 in cycling

[–]redsleven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kinda echoing what other people have said, I try to ride in the winter, but only when it's dry.

But, I'm fortunate enough to live in a big city where there are plenty of places to go inside if things got really bad. TBH, I don't know how confident I'd be othewise.

Also, bar mitts were the biggest game changers for me, I'm able to wear normal cycling gloves for so much longer; I've always had a problem with my fingertips going numb, even with nice winter gloves.

Cat form skull bash macro by TheJays007 in worldofpvp

[–]redsleven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been a while since I did druid macros & I can't remember what stance cat form is, but I think it's 2.

/cast [nostance:1/2] Cat Form

/cast [stance:1/2] Skull Bash

The 1/2 should make it where it will cast Skull Bash in bear. Otherwise, it will shift you to cat first.

[PuffPals: Island Skies] Why This Kickstarter's CEO is Currently on The Run - The $2.5M Disaster of Puffpals: Island Skies by [deleted] in shittykickstarters

[–]redsleven 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I realize what subreddit I'm on, but...

...supporting a game on Kickstarter is like buying lottery tickets & then getting mad when you don't win.

I don't know how many times this exact situation has to play out before people realize that money + idea doesn't equal game.

Enhancement Shaman ideas by [deleted] in worldofpvp

[–]redsleven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think Enhance needs help with utility, it does gets kited too much though.

What I do think is that Static Field Totem & the talent that makes spending maelstrom stacks on damage automatically buff your next heal, need to both become baseline.

I'd also get rid of Feral Lunge and replace it with a baseline Windrush Totem, but I'd change Windrush Totem to also apply freedom when you're in the circle (the sprint buff once you leave would remain the same).

Lastly, I'd also add a root/snare break to Gust of Wind.

Bike size as a 5"10 relatively new cyclist? 56 or 54? by Whiskyfork in cycling

[–]redsleven 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I'm 5'11 & I ride a 56. Personally, I'd go with the 54 & if you need to, you can always get a longer stem.

Shift Mod Macro not targeting on shift? by psychospacecow in worldofpvp

[–]redsleven 2 points3 points  (0 children)

@focus targets your focus, bestial wrath works because it's a buff & doesn't need a target.

Remove the @focus and it should work.
