My next question now is... is there some slow in game that's not "magic"?
Because slow (spell) and slow (aura) gotta be magic haste.
Is there something else that's not magic and, hence, not possible to counter with Marches and indi-haste?

I can't think of a debuff that's slow and not magic.
Weakened comes to mind, in theory it's 100% slow, wonder if that's considered "magic" or something else.

Indi-haste is ~41% magic haste, 3x Marches is ~64% magic haste (total: ~105%)
Respectively ~82% and ~128% with Bolster and SV (total: ~210%)

So IN THEORY to fully counter weakened, if we assume it to be magic slow and hence on the same term, you would either need 3x Marches and Bolster indihaste, or indi-haste and SV marches.


Did I miss anything?

Over 100 days without Tallie Wallie T_T

You could theoretically have one of or both of the Monks sub drk for extra absorbs, if you wanted to, couldn't ya?

If no bonanza shield you have amazing picks like the unity shields, and adapa or sacro bulwark. Amazing choices really

What's the best shield to go with when /war?
Bst hasn't got offensive shields, does it?
I mean, the only one i can think of is the Thorfinn shield but...yeah

I give the backline Caster's Roll since they aren't contributing to damage and just throw in enough FC to make sure I'm reaching a 12s recast even on a 1 roll (FC Ambu cape and Carmine Mask +1). I don't think we can afford any TP feed from anyone other than the MNKs. My Absorb TP log above is the result of TP feed from just the 2 MNKs.

It depends what kind of players you're playing with but in my experience, having a real human behind the KB doesn't guarantee you're going to get absorbs on cooldown, and that's with a regular static (which people assume means perfect players for some reason). In a PUG, I would imagine consistency is not a guarantee, though I've never PUG'd Aminon so IDK.

Either way, as an aside...I don't think 12s on COR is possible (or likely?) as it requires 23% FC on COR/DRK which...might be possible, IDK...I certainly don't have it in my set. 13s is probably possible but again, requires absolute perfect execution and never being in the middle of a WS or other action. I wouldn't expect to see exactly 13s casts from anyone who isn't running a bot. Possibly not even from a bot, since the 13s window might just HAPPEN to run into the exact time when you're in the middle of a WS animation.

The cap for capped points still has no end in sight... Crossed over 200k

I wasn't even talking about LLMs.

Stuff like this:



A human wrote the software specifically to create those graphics, in real time. The human did not draw it. But the software is human made for that purpose.

Is that not art?

I've resumed by Lost binge after taking a year off. There is no way this should would have made it in 2025. You can't take 40 episodes before you start revealing some secrets of your mystery. We will see how far I get this time.

Printing can be art. Is running something through a copier art?

If so then yes. But it isn't. Therefore no.

For me turning 57 was surreal.

Long, long ago I calculated that I would be 56 when the year 2000 rolled around. I had anticipated it for decades. Then I hit 57. I realized I had no idea of what came next.

I still don't. Its OK now.

Ever seen demo videos of purely software generated 3D scenes?

Is that not art?

For half of what you offered.

Pretty sure it was sold to the devil already

I'll give you $2 and a Hershey's special dark for it.

Do you know why I'm creative? Because I have something AI doesnt have: a soul

Silly me

Totally legitimate 5hr EP-ing that's why.

Bare minimum totally legit settings. Doesn't matter when you're five levels deep in inception.

Panta, why are you so quiet! Nynja is beating you on meme creativity, you are about to lose your place!!!

I wasn't agreeing with it, actually. But... I am now. lol.

I went to retest, and I've come to the conclusion that I messed up my last test.

My previous test used bolster geo-haste and slow II(non sabo) to compare haste and slow effects. Problem is, I hadn't actually calculated or tested just how potent that slow II was... I'd, apparently, just assumed that Bolstered geo-haste would be more than enough to counter it if it worked that way. And since the recast still increased, that led me to believe that magic haste and slow were not additive to the same term.

In my retest just now, I used slow I with no enfeeble potency+ gear. And... it did fully counter the slow. Exact same recast with Haste+Geo-Haste, and with slow I+Bolster Geo-haste. So haste and slow are behaving in an additive manner.

My prior test didn't list what gear I cast slow II in, but... If I cast it in full potency+ with capped dMND.. it would have been 61.7% slow... vs bolster geo-haste's 81.8% haste. That would have left me at 20.1% magic haste. So... no ***the recast changed in the original test. I wasn't magic haste capped at all anymore.

TLDR: I screwed up my previous test. Magic haste and magic slow do appear to be additive. And slow can be negated by sufficient magic haste.

White damage would naturally be higher as /war. Fencer build and war sub is slightly higher crit rate and attack (with trait and Aspis) and between the two melee sets you have 7% TA, 34% DA (including sub) on all on your Axe MH as /WAR vs nearly no multiattacks from your main hand as /nin and a lot of very weak swings with an offhand Kraken Club. Your effective TP is also 400 difference of 2000 with kraken club vs 2400 single wielding.

Seems right to me?
