It's uhh...not great. Kinda shit for a trio that just oozes the essence of cool.

The conversation was: "What's the worst trio that sounds awesome, but is actually shit?"

And after much arguing, we settled on this.

I went Monk/Necro/Zerker.

Want half ass Mitigation? BOOM!

Want no slow? BOOM!

Want sub-par expensive heals? BOOM!

Want to be a melee build that cannot actually be a melee class on raid targets? BOOM!

Out of curiosity, I ran the build up to 44. At 44 with seemingly any other trio, i've been able to whip some dragon ass with modest gear.

It's just...it's just an ass pounding with this trio. It hurts.

SOUNDS SOOOOOO COOOOL though!

But it...it's not go

So I write using a Dell m216t keyboard. I got this keyboard thinking I might be able to write without waking my wife's sensory overload demon, or sending one of us off to bed.

Its already got a nearly mute sound when pressing the keys, so I thought I'd be in the clear and wouldn't have to call Gandalf to deal with the local Balrog.

Abso-fuckin-lutely not!

Turns out, keys move and lighty tap against other small bits of plastic even without being pressed.

Just tap your keys without pressing them and you'll know what I mean. Its a...ting ting ting, kind of sound, that is admittedly still loud for sensory peoples.

I attempted to remedy this without spending hundreds of dollars by...popp

Long story short, do math! Especially if you have a Berzerker in your line-up.

Zerker Stance doubles attack speed. So a 20 Delay weapon is now a 10 Delay weapon. With 50% additional haste totaled from AA, Gear, and Spells...20 Delay hits the 5 Delay Bottom.

This means a 10dmg/20delay weapon - may be better for you than a 9/18 with the right gear.

I want to wear a robe as a monk....without having speccing into a pure caster.

There isn't a whole lotofa point here, other than to say thank you!

About half a year ago, I began writing my first book. Which I'm not here to promote.

Long story short, I am prone to motivation issues (Simultaneously working full time + Family Time) - which sometimes makes it difficult to force my mind into a writing mood. I love writing and very much enjoy the story I'm putting to paper.

One thing that has helped me tremendously over these months, is your passion for this genre. It's extremely motivating just popping in for a few minutes and reading about your discoveries, your own works, arguments, and praises.

I just surpassed 42,000 words! Your love of the game has been a

Game is great when I'm not trying to build something. INCREDIBLE even. I love it.

But man, the build mode as it is just wants to fight me every step of the way. Grid system is all kinds of broken, floor generation instead of placement was a horrific choice. Sometimes texture painting is waaay off center between floors for some reason.

All early access shenanigans so I'm not holding it against the team. Has all the workings of something special in the future so I can't wait for the next updates to hopefully fix some things!

Sparkling aside, they are an incredible take on the myth.

Hell, even the 'sparkle' is just because some of their skin turns into literal diamond. A method to explain their aversion to sun because it would reveal them rather than just straight up nuke them for some reason.

Everything else about them follows the standard tropes. Super fast. Super strong. Super attractive.

What sets them apart in my opinion:

1.) Newborns are physically stronger than the Old ones for a while after rebirth - because they still have their natural blood feeding them. This is a pretty cool narrative decision.

2.) The powers:

Some vampires develop powers after they change based on the

Like is the specific space requirements?

Or is there something similar to Minecrafts 2x2 seedlings make a much bigger tree thing?

I know the seedlings tell us growth time (stages and days). I'm just wondering about the little things.

Heat seeking, hypersonic missiles with 100% chance to poison that chase you through any and all biomes.

Find yourself out of arrows? You're fucked, these bastards will even hover over you if your underwater, wait for you to come within one block and poison you again. Cant outrun them. Cant fight them without projectiles 99% of the time.

I hate them. I hate them so fucking much. Worse than creepers for me lol.

I've more or less done everything the game has to offer. Its beautiful and incredible in many ways but obviously lacking in certain aspects. Particularly around base building, oddly enough.

There are tons of building parts, blocks, furniture and potential. But little to no reason or functionality for any of it. Half the fun of Minecraft was to use layers of functionality to create wild farms, mob farms and crazy things. Theres just nothing like that at the moment.

There's also no way to prevent mob spawns in and around an original base. Nor can you claim and rebuild a ruin without all of its monsters re-spawning every night. Those are things that will get fixed as time go

Its tradition that those who die in the coming year, go out on expedition.

So....we got a buncha Master Roshi's on our hands here right?

I feel like we dont talk about this enough.

I'm re-reading the books through again and have just finished Goblet of Fire...Something has stuck with me this re-read.

The first two books are kind of awful? Some great moments to be sure! But there's absolutely no meat to them. No substance between events.

To me this is what it feels like reading them:

"Harry was unusual, these are the Dursley's, they suck. Anyway magic is real! Im in school! Snape sucks, i like brooms. Anyway, its been five months and its Christmas now...Voldemort!"

Prisoner of Azkaban improves things a bit...then Goblet is where EVERYTHING improves immensely. Feels like an entirely different world to be honest.

It has been longer since the 3DS version....than the time between the N64 and 3DS version.

Though you ought to know.
