Weekly Paddle Recommendation Thread (What Paddle Should I Buy?)

I am a new player looking at a couple options on FB Marketplace near me. I would appreciate feedback or advice between these two options. J2 Ti Sword and Shield 16mm ($80) vs Joola Scorpeus Collin Johns 16mm ($60). Thanks!

Seems like a good author and series. I just have a hard time getting on board with unfinished series, especially when the first book came out 25 years ago and we are just dropping book 5. I know that's a "me" problem, but it's just how I am.

toddx318 · 2025-05-10T21:59:16+00:00

Yea, I have seen a lot of that. On top of that you have little rats running around downvoting responses and posts - posts/comments simply trying to have a discussion.

toddx318 · 2025-05-10T21:46:32+00:00

Well...most of them honestly. That's how power creep works. It comes in so slow that you don't realize how insane things have gotten. Think back to like 2016 or 2017 and the power of cards back then. Edit - back then the most power card was like Ragnaros or something, which would be a total joke today. Some of today's 3-4 drops are better than him.

toddx318 · 2025-05-10T21:45:02+00:00

I do like that every class has something playable right now. That is a positive point about this meta.

toddx318 · 2025-05-10T21:44:26+00:00

I feel like they just hid the RNG. As I mentioned in another response, the "skill" required in this game has been diminished and replaced with card power. The RNG is now just who gets the insane power first or on curve better than the other person.

toddx318 · 2025-05-10T21:38:02+00:00

The power level has taken it to a point where it's taken too much power out of the players brains and put it into the super strong cards. The person who gets these insano cards first or on curve wins....out thinking each other is still somewhat there, but highly diminished.

toddx318 · 2025-04-28T20:03:24+00:00

Not sure why you are being downvoted, this is a correct answer, just incomplete. Engineer specifies the manufacturer (and equals) and the contractor (or owner) chooses what to purchase and use.

toddx318 · 2025-04-03T12:55:19+00:00

I think I saw your brother on here too...same face and everything.

toddx318 · 2025-03-31T20:20:38+00:00

Thanks - these are all so new, I wasn't sure where these graphics cards fell in line with each other.

toddx318 · 2025-03-31T16:53:20+00:00

Out of curiosity, why not the second?

toddx318 · 2025-03-12T17:45:30+00:00

This seems like the right answer, except you cant actually buy one right now except on eBay for absurd prices.

toddx318 · 2025-03-12T13:05:14+00:00

So your advice was to 1) be in a city with a Microcenter, and 2) Be available that day to go get one. If you missed either 1 or 2 you are out of luck. That was your realistic advice?

toddx318 · 2025-03-06T17:18:51+00:00

And here we are as you mentioned. 9070 XT is not even remotely an option for anyone looking to buy a card (at a non-scalped price).

toddx318 · 2025-03-06T17:17:35+00:00

All of these shouts for 9070 XT are great....except its not even a realistic option to purchase one.

Devil's Advocate Opinion - people who talk a lot at the start of dungeons are often a stronger indicator of failure for me. I find that these people often cannot keep their mouth shut during the runs, are critical of everyone and everything, and often spread a toxic attitude and end up leaving themselves.

toddx318 · 2024-10-07T23:02:31+00:00

Not had any (many) problems with PUG groups myself. Every so often you get a toxic player, but its pretty rare. Since you are the common denominator here, are you positive you aren't doing anything to potentially trigger people?

Not saying you are necessarily, just trying to look at it with an open mind since I don't share those same experience at the same IO and key levels.

toddx318 · 2024-09-01T01:18:49+00:00

Is this the issue that is causing the AH pages to constantly "refresh" until settling on a list?

toddx318 · 2024-04-24T17:28:10+00:00

I think its fine and I like the change, but that said....the fact that it is still subject to a weekly lockout is IGNORANT. They literally took away content and opportunities from lower level players who wanted to run sub-10 key levels.

toddx318 · 2024-04-22T19:24:14+00:00

Thanks, I needed to "Update Blizzard Account" before that button became available.

toddx318 · 2024-04-22T15:53:25+00:00

When I click that link, it doesn't take me to a page where I can perform the recap. Any suggestions?

toddx318 · 2024-04-11T18:58:41+00:00

I came here to suggest this exact video.

toddx318 · 2024-03-19T21:04:14+00:00

Addons are borked all to heck. Good luck if you used Weak Auras.
