Dragonair is great, but I actually really love Pupitar.
they're both really, really good

i thought about it, though, and while i thought i liked pupitar the best, i'd be sadder if dragonair was deleted. so maybe i like dragonair more

Black mage is probably the most difficult dps class. It almost always has the highest parses, but also the highest variance in dps by skill level and fight knowledge

But that part of your kit doesn't really turn on until like level 60 with ley lines

what's the issue at 36? It's kind of annoying in low level dungeons because nothing stands still long enough for your sick deeps to kick in, but bosses should be a blast

so i just checked out nerdle for the first time and all i have to say is, nerdle disrespects numbers and everything about them their meanings, their etymology, even the way they feel when you say them and sound when you hear them. Its a game for solipsists who, if youll forgive the phrase, enjoy playing with themselves. Or rather playing against themselves. Nerdle requires neither a love for numbers nor the need for other people. And since I love and need both these things, its not the game for me. Numbers possess great power and a transcendent allure. They only exist, however, to convey an impression or articulate a point of view. Theyre too important, too beautiful to have their magic and relevance removed so they can be reduced to meaningless pawns in a pointless puzzle.

After so many decades of unchecked power, moderates will feel anything less than domination means they are being attacked. And here, even ultra-centrist Biden is pushing leftist ideas.

I kind of agree that Y'shtola isn't super compelling, but it's nice to have a "normal"/chill personality in the cast. Just a normal friend, one that's not falling over themselves to impress you or whatever. one that's not overly dramatic

I would describe her arc as one of slight detachment from humanity. Her vacation in the lifestream transitioned her from WhM to BlM and alienized her sight.

She has her shit together, she had her guy on the first, it's all good

Bozja has the unfortunate quality of being a miserable, muddy field you fight stuff in

The design is solid, it just isn't very appealing to engage with

I've been spinning my wheels since doing the available extremes and raids. I'm even going so far as to level the various gathering and crafting jobs. It's more of a time/Gil sink than anything I've does as a dow/Dom, but I *think* it's probably better money per hour at max level than doing roulettes

Not 100% sure, though

i will say that i think FFXIV raiding requires less fear of failure. it's all about failing over and over to crazy mechanics until you have them memorized

this is in contrast to something like WoW, where fight mechanics are clearer and require less memorization, but you need to be tighter with your core role responsibilities (damage, healing, tanking rotations) while navigating those unique situations

Looked up some Zodiark EX tutorials with the intention of possibly trying that tomorrow and after watching I think Im not cut out for EX trials.
i'm trying to amp up a few of my friends to attempt the trial myself. zodiark ex is kind of unique in that there's no mechanic to force your party to ever split up- in fact, you always want to be stacked

that means you can mark the one person who is confident and just go wherever they go. the fight is exceedingly simple when you look at it that way

i've participated in high-level raiding in a few games, and ffxiv's definitely feels a little bit different. it's hard to eloquently describe how, but i can't say it's better or worse. it just comes with different pros and cons

Has the jury determined the most efficient way to level a second job from 80 to 90 yet? And if the answer is daily roulettes, what's fastest after those are done?

Someone was recommending fate trains, but I don't know in which zone

Ffxiv is so weird that way. Nice story experience the first time, but you have to do deep research for anything after that

"Dies to removal" is a well known bad argument in magic, perhaps even the worst one. I mean, let's throw that back. With a 7 mana epiphany, if your opponent has a counterspell your win con fizzles. The argument may as well be "unless you punch your opponent in the throat, they get to keep playing against you." Yes, you still have to protect it, but boy oh boy does it do a good job of protecting itself as long as you have instants and open mana.
You're right. I think it's kind of a rock paper scissors scenario, and I'm looking at it from a non-blue perspective where a kraken feels beatable, but a galvanic iteration into epiphany does not

It does seem to be overall better, and in fact its able to kick turns decks square in the soft and tenders.
It just feels so slow comparatively, and has real "shields down" moments.

With alrund's, with 7 mana you can set things up such that your opponent will never get to act again (epiphany -> untap -> duplicate a second epiphany -> whatever bs you draw over 2 more turns -> win)

With a 7 mana hullbreaker, if your opponent has removal your win con fizzles

It also can't do anything about menace or flying lands, which allowed me to squeak out a win yesterday

Heres a lesson in hubris and reading the cards.
Early ggers/gloaters are the worst

Had a similar experience yesterday against mono white while playing dimir zombies

They outnumbered my board, exiled my important stuff, and were spamming the blood gg emote

Luckily, they were bad and didn't attack with enough. They also didn't play around meathook massacre. I was eventually able to bring the game back to qualify for mythic, and of course they roped

The worst is when they float while having an 85% win chance. It's correct to stay in the game, but it's not fun to be berated and end up losing

I have a big problem with ranked decay. I saw the B/W control deck that won the standard tournament, so I imported it and started beating up on mono blue and mono green starter decks because I was bronze 4 from not playing constructed in months.

That just cant be a good feeling for my opponents
you get two points for a win and lose only one point for a loss below diamond- you shouldn't be beating up on newbies for very long

plus, the unranked queue is just as fun- if people don't want to play against good decks, they can always go there and be matched based on deck quality

anyway, i'm having decent fun with dimir zombies in standard. it's hot garbage but i'm ever so slowly climbing into mythic. someday i'm gong to crack and just play the damn mono white deck and win while hating myself

Vow draft seems fun so far. The archetype synergies seem stronger and more obvious at all rarities than usual, and the bombs are often synergistic as well

I don't know which are going to be strongest yet

Did extremely well with golgari big toughness combo. it stalled early game until I either drew the uncommon that lets you assign damage with toughness, or the one that lets you fling your 1/13 for 13 damage to the dome

Humans with counters/training seems very good, rakdos blood seems good but I haven't made it work yet, spirit enchantments seems good if you get the right rares and lifelink, werewolves seem good... everything feels fun so far

I'm still looking for a new standard deck and desperately hoping it's neither mono white nor izzet turns. Been stuck in diamond with bog standard mono green.

Gonna try out zombies maybe. Unrelated- The 4 mana flash zombie counterspell is nasty, plus it combos with the new cleave turns spell. The zombie that creates more zombie on non token death triggers just wants to be played

Friend of mine is going hard on some insane ramp decks that look fun- we'll see how it goes
