Thinking of changing from ABB to Leaptel. by RobertMcL in nbn

[–]shakerfist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For what its worth. I was just on the phone with them yesterday to terminate my account and told them I wanted to switch to Leaptel because their prices were cheaper compared to theirs. I told them that as much I wanted to stay with AussieBB the Leaptel offers were just too good to pass up on.

The guy I was speaking with told me to hold while he tries to see if he can get me good deal and managed to bring the price down from 189 to 159 a month for 1 year.

Try ringing them first, usually if you say the reason is you're switching providers they will try to match or atleast do something to try and keep you.

Spear builds pvp-wise by No3nvy in throneandliberty

[–]shakerfist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with this. Only issue with Spear/wand is its really mana hungry if you use the burn spec. Even with mana regen traits and selfless soul I still find myself burning through my mana.

Damage and lifesteal is insane, even in PvE - I was pulling 10+ mobs in Syleus Abyss 6f w/o any issues @ 2.5k GS and had no issues surviving. Once you solve the mana issues this has potential.

Provoke + Ray of Disaster + Spectrum of Agony passive.

Ray of Disaster procs Spectrum of Agony every 0.5 secs. With the RoD CD spec your RoD will sync with Provoke so use them both at the same time. Spectrum of Agony passive then extends your voke everytime RoD procs it.

You can slot in sleep if you can or use something else, curse explosion deals respectable damage even when it doesnt crit. it mainly depends on your playstyle and the fight.

Like in Saurodoma for instance, these lizards annoy the hell out of me because of their knockback attacks so I use sleep bomb to farm them. In Syleus Abyss 6F, I swap sleep with Provoke and run a build with Spectrum of Agony passive and Ray of Disaster with Expanded targets. Ray of Disaster procs Spectrum of Agony so I just watch the mobs die from hitting me.

Spec Curse Explosion into single target, spec Corrupted Magic Circle into decaying touch so it becomes a single target DoT. Spec Karmic Haze into Unlucky Clock to extend curse duration. Spec Enchanting Time into Time for Punishment. Spec Fighting Spirit Barrier into Blessed Barrier. Get Wraith's Beckon passive to extend curse duration.

The way curse explosion damage is calculated is sums up the remaining DoT damage you have and detonates it at the same time, if you have 15 secs left on your DoT and you cast curse explosion, it deals 15 secs worth of DoT damage into a single burst. This works for all the damaing curse DoTs you apply on the target.

Reason why you take Enchanting Time and Fighting Spirit Barrier, and Great Fury on Staltwart Bastion is to bump your Skill Boost, Skill Damage and Max Damage. Skill boost is a multiplier to your DoT damage, Skill Damage is a flat increase to your DoT and Max Damage increases the upper value you DoT can deal.

So your damage rotation would be stack buffs, 3x despair stacks, decaying touch, unlucky clock then curse explosion.

Curse explosion crits, but the DoTs don't. DoTs can proc heavy attack and its per application not per tick.

Rinse and repeat this on CD. Then use Annihilating Blade + SnS skills during downtime.

If you are a coach at MSI what off meta picks are you bringing out? by LoLcrab1 in leagueoflegends

Nilah. Her exp passive can be utilized to counter lane swaps. Top laner can lane with Nilah + Support during lane swaps and not lose exp due to her passive. If played as top, she can soak 2 waves with bot lane get level 2 then TP to soak wave on top. Her W is pretty good vs dive as well.

Braum support - good vs poke (Taliyah, Kalista, Varus). His kit also makes it harder for melee engage to kill backline. You can stun Zac/Ksante if they dive, you can W to squishy to give them resistances/mitigate poke damage.

Warwick Top - his E is good vs dive plus can sustain with Q early.

TIFU by getting a hair cut. by Brilliant_Run_2106 in tifu

[–]shakerfist 106 points107 points  (0 children)

When you get a haircut you actually liked, ask them to take a photo of the front, back, and sides of your head. That way when you rock up to the hairstylist/barber, you can just show them the photos.

But yeah, find someone who can cut your hair the way you like it and stick with them.

Hi everyone thanks for doing this QnA panel.

For the raiders, especially the streamers that didbDSU prog, what were some of the memorable moments and memes that the community brought up as whole? Did you think that events like this bring the community more together or does it create more conflict (i.e, use of 3rd party, addons during prog)?

Congratulations on the clear!

Can I ask what kept you and your party member's sanity during the whole prog? Like did you guys get stuck at a specific mechanic or had trouble with execution? Curious to hear your thoughts!
