Teachers try to teach us this starting in Kindergarten. It is petty to gloat. Sometimes gloating has actual utility. For example, you said ChichiriMuyo posted... Ah, yes, the absolute epitome of trying to get to a place of tolerance and acceptance... dancing on the graves of our defeated foes. I know I feel comforted by the fact that my lack of understanding could be met with my banning and cheers from others. But the purpose is explicitly to not make you comfortable and show zero tolerance for bigots. If you are somehow worried that people might treat you this way, then maybe don't publicly be a combative and bigoted weirdo about it like that other guy, and people won't.

I can craft anything no problem but this best I can even get anywhere close to the minimum quality amount. All the terminology is different on the crafting too.

| HeroDelTiempo17 12/08/21 5:11:02 AM #31 | Well, no, the situation with the Magus Sisters is a long battle. It is still optimal to keep dots on all of them. BUT because you don't get bonus procs, dots are weaker, and you are less rewarded for it than Shadowbringers bard was. You do the same work for less reward. And the pressure from things dying too quickly from your dots on aoe was also offset by procs being so fucking strong it made up for it (especially in Mage's Ballad rip). If things died too soon, doesn't matter, got procs and a fat Apex. Oh and the shorter timer also worked out to less potency loss. I actually find it MORE stressful now. --- I definitely did not forget to put the 2020 GOTD Guru winner, azuarc in my sig! |

| HeroDelTiempo17 12/08/21 4:47:24 AM #29 | DoomTheGyarados posted... I disagree with that I guess. I always dotted stuff up in dungeons ;o Assuming the mobs live for the full duration of the dot (big ask with the longer timer), it's not worth it to dot anything if there's more than 3 targets. Which is almost always the case in dungeons. So in in 2-3 target scenarios, you keep dots up on everything. But because the proc rate is unaffected, you're doing all this extra work for less reward when you used to just go off. It feels so much worse than it used to. Friends, I fucking hate the god damn magus sisters. --- I definitely did not forget to put the 2020 GOTD Guru winner, azuarc in my sig! |

And that's like, the entire issue with reality that Dave is so tired of living in that he wrote a whole special dedicated to pointing it out is that white people have this tendency to not notice when we and our attitudes are at the center of everyone else's problems.

Alliance Raids in particular - they seem to be much less of a joke now that they're synced, which is good in a sense, but also since they can't be run in about the same amount of time as a leveling dungeon that could make them a lot worse value. I've done (well, attempted) two alliance raids so far and got Weeping City of Mhach and Rabanastre. Weeping City was mostly fine, no wipes but it took 30 minutes which is a bit much, that's adding like 10-15 minutes to what it was before. Rabanastre...lol.
