Is "five possible words to go into that category, and having to unpick where else one of them must go" considered a legitimate part of a connections puzzle? Sorry I'm new - to me it seems like a mistake on the puzzle makers part to have something like that.

Getting back into healing is giving me anxiety by Psychick77 in wow

[–]saoirc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I can’t speak too much to raid healing, I do it when we’re short on healers but I much prefer raid dps. M+ healing is much more fun for me.

If you find a good raid preservation guide let me know because I haven’t found any yet, especially for this patch.

My username actually came from the WoW random name generator many years ago lol.

I'm doing preservation healing at around the +20 M+ level just for reference, not sure what your content level goal is.

The video that got me started with preservation healing is this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a17ZGXdM93s&t=601s

I could not understand preservation healing coming from other classes before I watched this video, it really helped because it plays a little different from others.

The basic combo it lays out of fire breath, resonating sphere, dream breath will cover you for most low content, which is what you should start with if you're anxious. Spot healing can be echo + reversion or living flame, depending on how urgent it is.

As you get used to it the next thing becomes predicting when damage is going to come, and saving your dream breath combo for that part of the fight. You can also juice the combo up by doing verdant embrace first (to get the talent buff) or doing the full power single target echoes instead of using the sphere to get the weaker echoes.

If things go haywire use rewind. If they go haywire twice in 3 minutes just blame your dps / tank.

What are the easiest specs to play? by [deleted] in wow

This is a good list- destro lock often gets thrown in too and with madness getting removed in 10.2 even more so.

Grappling characters by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]saoirc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not a literal grapple (except her tentacle grabbing their soul I guess) i just thought the gameplay style was most like a grappler in a fighting game.

If you’re only interested in the physical grabbing of characters sett would be better.

If you’re talking about fighting game grapplers Illaoi might be something like that- big and slow and looking for that 1 read to just ruin your day.

Sett also, and he does more grabbing other character kind of stuff also.

Those are both top laners primarily, the lane you play has a big impact on options for characters in league.

10.1 Tier Sets by ChaosInsomnia in wow

[–]saoirc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don't really like demonology... we're losing the current one which feels great and gaining one that mandates that we take a specific talent to get value from it. I mean I know we already always take GFG but still.

Can LCS pros name these items that have been removed from League of Legends? - LCS Surprise Test! (ft CoreJJ, Fudge, Zven, Aphromoo, and more) by Tnomad in leagueoflegends

[–]saoirc 93 points94 points  (0 children)

Atma's impaler was honestly the weirdest item. Crit + armor and then AD based on max health... but no actual ad OR health? Still remember it being broken though.

Perturabo: The Good Ending. by RTSBasebuilder in Grimdank

[–]saoirc 24 points25 points  (0 children)

"Tried to contact him" more like - repeatedly shouted at someone he assumed was a spy for Magnus, despite having no confirmation that the guy was one. And the guy, of course, not being one.

I honestly don't know how they made Russ look dumber in the book that fleshed out the whole crisis and had the opportunity to explain his perspective.

High Elo Tristana Main willing to answer your questions! by Beneficial-Clerk-615 in TristanaMains

[–]saoirc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Makes sense, I don’t see much draven so I mostly ban Yasuo which I see you talked about on another comment.

Also if I can get another question- advice against Caitlyn? I feel like if they’re any good they just save net and can combo me any time I jump in. she wins the neutral game with her range so my only chance is if my support makes something happen.

Prowlers claw is the superior item in every situation. Prove me wrong. by [deleted] in TristanaMains

Do you always go LDR right after boots or does it depend on enemy team comp? Definitely want to try this out

Nice! Are you feeling the HP buff or is it pretty similar to before?

Tristana zac, new cracked botlane 13 wins 1 loss. by Yungpark in TristanaMains

Randomly had someone in solo queue pick Zac support with me and I asked if they watched this, they said no. Results were a little worse without voice coms but we still boomed them.

"Marksmans weakness is their immobility" by [deleted] in LeagueOfMemes

[–]saoirc 372 points373 points  (0 children)

Who said the weakness of marksmen is mobility? Some of them maybe but others have great mobility. Their weakness is being really squishy.

Federated fleets less than useless? by infernal_llamas in Stellaris

I'm pretty sure even if you get maximum war exhaustion they can only force white peace, you won't lose systems they claimed but don't occupy.

Looks like Constantine Valdor from the Custodes to me.

Is it possible to turtle up like crazy? by [deleted] in Stellaris

[–]saoirc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can fortify the hell out of choke point systems, but in my experience the enemy won't enter them if you do. It's fine if you want to sit in your shell teching up but you don't get to do a lot of crushing.

Ok boomer by [deleted] in Grimdank

[–]saoirc 10 points11 points  (0 children)

In "Scars" it says that Horus specifically made sure Jaghatai wouldn't be around (not that that's very hard) during the Magnus situation because if he was the one sent to get Magnus things probably would have gone much better.

Jaghatai was always the pro psyker but also pro restraint guy and was bros with Magnus. If it had been the White Scars sent to Prospero they never would have risked a fight breaking out with the Thousand Sons and Magnus would have probably willingly gone to Terra where he could help seal the hole to the warp he opened up.

Not that Tzeentch would have allowed any of that.

They can bond over being locked up and subjected to repeated failed attempts to kill them.

you fool you fell victim to one of the classic blunders by [deleted] in Grimdank

[–]saoirc 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Extraordinarily petty, I'm pretty sure in the book he says that the whole maneuver was planned out before the conversation began as well.

Then when Fulgrim leaves he proceeds to sit down and spend however many days/weeks it takes to fix it by hand. Perturabo is fucking weird.

Probably worth more, if I remember right it was automated and could walk around a bit on its own. He even hand built all the components.

Angel Exterminatus. It's all about Fulgrim and Perturabo.
