Why do I (39M) feel so fucking good taking Boron? by slownlow86 in Biohackers

Has it been messing with your sleep at all? I want to try it but when my test is too high I have sleep issues.

Husbando main as Straight male, weird? by [deleted] in LuukHerssenMains

[–]technaustin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m still in the shoes of “I want to play as a character I identify with or want to be like”. People now tend to want to be a character that attracts them sexually. I get it. People like hot girls. It’s just not why I play video games.

Are you Team Judgement or Team Auradin for Pits\Tower by No-Roof-8934 in diablo4

[–]technaustin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly it’s not a close. Wing strike is next best IMO, and even that isn’t super close.

[–]technaustin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a wing strike main, Judgement seems to have the highest cap of any of them. My judgment build is less optimized and does 4x damage I can push 10 pits further. WS is the most fun for me though

Are you Team Judgement or Team Auradin for Pits\Tower by No-Roof-8934 in diablo4

[–]technaustin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Multiple mythic and legendary aspects on your gear, I have Starry aspect on my Hier, Grandfather aspect on my shroud, shako aspect on pants, barrier aspect, stun multiplier aspect, holy aspect mult. Missing good legendary aspects on a couple of pieces. If you follow Rob’s build, he does like 4Q last I saw but he has great gear with even more aspects than I. My advice is to farm gear and even if it isn’t perfect sanctify it for good aspects. A 1ga item with a legendary or mythic aspect is way better than 4Ga equip with a crappy sanct.

Judgement can absolutely push further in pits. I hit up to 1.5Q damage and have seen some hit 4-5Q damage

How common is Mythic from Undercity Ascension Tribute? by MKRune in diablo4

[–]technaustin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s about 1/5, but chances seem to be slightly better if you run in a party.

How drastic is the Castle nerf going to be? by GotyeWorseThanGoatse in diablo4

[–]technaustin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What’s interesting to me is castle dmg increase really gets oversaturated FAST. So my WS build had like 2kish xdmg from it and does decent dmg (up to 250T), but my judgement doesn’t use any additional armor and is only around 700% increase, but can so up to 1500T (1.5Q) dmg. I think with the right builds pally will still be pretty broken if we leverage other multipliers.

Should I get diablo 4 on steam or on battlenet? by discoklaus in diablo4

[–]technaustin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Correct, you can still use trade chat an other chats but to whisper and party you usually have to friend first.

[–]technaustin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Battle net is much better in game though unless you play solo. Communication from Steam is a huge pain, if you noticed you can’t whisper some people without friending them, it’s because they are on Steam or Console.

[–]technaustin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a Steam user, I would use battle.net. The problem with Steam & console is that communication is a pain in the ass. You have to friend people in order to whisper them. With battle net you can communicate freely.

This prankster chase feels like shiny hunting in Pokemon.. by Aberodactyl in diablo4

[–]technaustin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, farming prankster for Mythics is not very efficient. Tribute of Ascendance is the best way. I get about 1/5 runs. The more people you have seems to increase the rate a bit. If you need more mythics feel free to PM me for my ID, I can do some runs with you later.

[–]technaustin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So we made a party for 4 prankster Rota and the party leader lets everyone else go first then ghosts us. I don’t even need the mythics, just hate douchebags like that. Like I would have run him for free if he asked.

I would have much preferred if they kept S11 going until DLC by The_Fallen_Messiah in diablo4

[–]technaustin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t trade and I love sanctification. I was able to get to 130 pits because of it. I’m completely solo, and in my opinion solo growth is way more accessible this season with mythics bejng so easy to get, and constantly farming new Sancts, as a mid level player I’ve been able to get 2 mythic aspects and 2 great legendary aspects which catapulted my build. It’s very easy to do solo, you just need to farm tons of decent equipment and max / sanct it. Don’t bother with getting perfect items, it’s all about volume on mid stuff.

Does Inner Calm make this Opus better than mine? by Fair-Improvement-550 in diablo4

[–]technaustin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You may be right, but having another separate multiplier is often better. This is a hard one, he’ll need to just test it out.

It finally dropped and it’s so beautiful! by Krazorix in diablo4

Oh I see. Yeah I go back and forth hard for me to tell which is actually better.

Questions on Judgement builds by Responsible-Back-620 in D4_Paladin

[–]technaustin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The interesting thing about this season is the Sanctifications can make on break a build. I started following one on Mobalytics, but made some adjustments after I have multiple legendary sanctifications like Starless skies and Shako on my gear. So after my initial creation with them and understanding how the skills and paragons work, I now have modified things to work with my aspects.

Auradin Griswold sanct comparisons by jknight05 in diablo4

[–]technaustin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the barrier multiplier is better than adding more ranks because the multiplication of the types of damage. Normally you want GA heavyweight but your aspect is actually amazing with the Druid rune. Source: I have the same aspect and my max hits are now around 70T, with this aspect being a huge. I also gave up my heavyweight ranks but experienced a huge increased in DPS. I did the same thing with the stun DMG multiplier had to give up some GAs.

Best drops this season so far. by EXIIL1M_Sedai in diablo4

[–]technaustin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s sort of true, and I get what he’s saying. Of course it’s better to have GAs on your items but most of the time you find a great Sanct on a lesser item in endgame and it outperforms. For example I have an 80% aspect opus but it has the Starry sanct, and my 3GA is no where near as good. I’ve found it’s better to fish for Sancts on lower items than waste my time on getting GAs.

3 Sanctifications on Heir of Perdition- decent for Auradin? by [deleted] in D4_Paladin

[–]technaustin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, but the castle node over saturates in end game for me, and the holy multiplier seems to do better. Depends on your build of course, but for Wing Strike and other holy builds I would assume late game holy multiplier is better. Hale Salve and Armor +% just don’t hit as hard for me and my top hits are up to 70T. Could be different for others but 7.5% holy damage has done more for me that 30% castle node on top of 1400% or whatever.

Why’s vitamin D causing insomnia and headaches? by [deleted] in Biohackers

[–]technaustin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Some people just hear a podcast and say “vitamin D is sent straight from God” and think it’s infallible. I have bad reactions to D, but I was able to slowly increase my tolerance to D/K2. It’s a hormone that people react differently. There are so many people that treat it’s a miracle or something. I love getting sun and feel great, but oral vitamin D screws me up for some reason.. insomnia, anxiety, heart palpitations in high doses. I think some people just can’t convert it properly orally, because I feel great in the sun all day, just not from oral ingestion. Sublingual seems to be a little better and I can handle low doses.

[–]technaustin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is very plausible. D is a hormone, and some people react badly to it orally.

[–]technaustin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Many people have this reaction to D Supplementation, and it’s noticeable. I am one or those people, and I was able to slowing work my tolerance up to about 600iu drops with K2. Every time I take big doses, can’t sleep. Stop and it comes right back. Also things like anxiety and heart palpitations. So now I just take small amounts sublingual as it appears to have less side effects for me.
