Yeah, it's all the same to me. The difference in time taken to skill is what all those perk bonuses are all about. If the difference in time saves me say, 24 hrs of skilling on that specific skill, then there is no point getting all those little additions and better to just grind it all out. But to each their own, right?
-
Or just do it like I do, enjoy the game your way.
-
@Kris_Kronkle Wow, you're right. I hadn't even delved into that update yet because of these very reasons. Guess I'll be checking that out tomorrow
-
don't forget the new burners from the fm update so you gotta burn all those torstal burners for 2% extra exp and for combat you have kuwarm for bonus poison damage, spirit weed for titan spec, and I believe lants to extend overload timer (don't think its cost effective tho unless you are coming for 2+ hours straight. auras are terribly designed cause it takes forever to get them and for pvm it essentially dictates when you can actually boss cause why bother bossing if mani isn't up
-
True, I guess I'm just always trying to be at least somewhat efficient, even if half of what I do in game is afk. Maybe I just need to take @Rafi's advice and ignore it at times lol. I mean even combat has overloads, aura's, pocket slot, armour perks, bonfire boost, thermal bath.... I think it's just management of the perk/boost system that's irritating.
-
It is only annoying if you have to switch skills
-
ya idk if i care that much but if people do they will doing that i usually have an aura at thee most oops
-
Yeah. Worrying about all that maximization on the day to day makes the game less enjoyable for me, so I ignore much of it unless it's dxp.
-
Those don't bother me, except for skilling familiars. I'm not quite sure why, but familiars firmly cross the line of what I can be fucked to deal with.

So basically skilling is irritating Agreed
-
Yup, it can be kind of overwhelming and even annoying at times. At the same time, though, nobody's making you do it. Just have to decide whether putting in the extra time and/or effort for each boost is worth it to you.

I'm tired of the way perks/boosts/etc are implemented in game. Sometimes I don't do certain activities (pure laziness) because I don't want to spend the extra few moments making sure I have all the proper boosts/perks and such. For example, while fishing right now in order to get the best xp/hr I have: Granite Lobster familiar Juju potion Avatar xp buff Crystal rod with specific perks Fury shark outfit Decorated Urns Call of the sea aura porters when doing wobbegongs I find it irritating dealing with all these "extras" for 27 skills in order to inch closer to that goal of efficiency. Anyone else feel the same?

DEATH

I guess that depends on what you expect to happen in the rest of the show. What do you predict?

untilLets try this again What are we doing? Nex: Angel of Death! Who can attend? Anyone who is a member of The Gladiatorz or clan friends are welcome (hope to see some new faces) Where will it take place? Meetup will be at World 6 Nex bank | Please hop on TeamSpeak for communication purposes When will it take place? Thursday, April 18th, 10:00 PM - 11:00 PM Eastern Event information and things to keep in mind: You will need a Frozen Key. All valuable drops will be split among the team. Please run your bombs and smokes. Guide to help beginners. Here are some video guides to you get started: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CkzBVvKN1E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yrh93pIPNzk Basic Overview of Mechanics: This is NOT a replacement for watching a guide. This is simply to act as a reminder for those who have already attended and or want a quick refresher of some things. Phase 1: Starting up (Start of the fight to 2,100,000) Reavers: Nex will jump in the air and the quadrant she faces will receive a heavy damage-over-time effect. All other quadrants will have a blood reaver spawn. -> Get out of the quadrant she faces, bind/stun reavers. 3+ people (*cough cough minion tanks*) should have entangle runes so dps can focus on phasing. Blood Bombs: If we get bombs, we should all try to increase our overall dps as much as possible for the next kill. This special can easily be avoided by getting her to 2.1m HP before it happens. -> If we do get bombs, move 3-4 times as needed to avoid a quick death. Don't forget abilities as you're walking. These specials repeat in order through phase 2 Phase 2: The Minions (2,100,000 - 1,800,000) Crystals and Minions: At the start of phase 2, Nex will spawn 4 crystal amalgamations in the 4 corners around her, followed shortly after by her Praesul Mages -> Destroy the crystals as fast as possible to weaken the mages before they spawn. Minion tanks get into position for lures. -> Continue to attack Nex until 1.8m HP, when phase 3 begins. After she is phased, kill them in the order of Umbra, Glacies, Cruor, Fumus. Phase 3: The Madness (1,800,000 - 600,000) Once phase 3 begins, Nex starts her next group of special attacks. The first special is chosen at random, and then continues in the order Smoke, then Shadow, then Ice until 600k HP For example, if Shadow is the first special chosen at random, the next special will be ice, followed by smoke, followed by another shadow, etc Smoke Lines: An on screen message will appear for someone saying Nex is building up smoke, either to the east of you or to the north of you. -> If you have East Smoke, run to the north or south wall. If you have North Smoke, run to the east or west wall. If you didn't read the message in time, run to a corner. ->FAILURE TO RUN THIS MECHANIC CAN EASILY KILL MULTIPLE PEOPLE IN A MATTER OF SECONDS WITH LITTLE CHANCE OF AVOIDING DEATH Ices: An on screen message will appear for someone saying Nex is beginning to freeze the air around you, you will be frozen in place, and will soon take an unavoidable heavy damage-over-time effect. -> Use Freedom and run away from people. Eat close to full, and prepare to take 14k damage very quickly. Shadow Toilets: Everyone will get a message that Nex cast a thick smoke, and a shadow pool will soon spawn where it lands -> At least two people with 7,000+ health need to be in the pool and activate the totem in the center. You will take damage inversely proportional to the amount of people in the pool. -> Popping a smoke alone will kill you. Failure to pop a smoke result in everyone receiving a shared pool of damage higher than the shadow would have dealt. Phase 4: Finishing Up (600,000 to the end of the fight) Pillars: At 600k HP Nex become invulnerable to damage until he pillars are destroyed while also periodically preforming specials related to the pillars that are still active. -> Destroy pillars as fast as possible, they become attack-able in the order the preasul minions die in phase 2-3. -> Ideally the south east shadow pillar is destroyed first, and the pile continues around the arena in a counterclockwise fashion. Listen to calls public chat if minions die in a different order. Elements Bomb: An on screen message will appear saying you have been marked to take the elements, and an additional bar will appear on top on your character. -> Run the center before the bar in filled. Stay there until the first part of the bomb goes down, or you will die. ->After the first part, another bar will appear along with another on screen message. When this second bar is filled, a bomb will drop and stay there for the remainder of the fight. -> The first bomb can usually be dropped at the shadow pillar in the south east along the wall -> Any and all following bombs should be piled together as close as possible, and go around the arena in a counterclockwise fashion, similar to pillars. Once the four pillars are destroyed Nex becomes attack-able again. DPS hard to finish the kill.

Oh for sure. Can't see that having been from the plan for the books. Too contrived / illogical - felt very TV.

At least the final four will be 70-85 minutes each.
