  • I barely ever even vibed in 1v1. Honestly it's just a bonus IMO. 


  • I wouldn't ever destabilise in a fight, really. The only exceptions are lullaby if you plan to go for a sleeplock, adduction for a beckon, or plague with airstrike if you need a breather from your opponent's pressure. Other than that, the passive effects far outweigh any benefit from destabilising
  • That feels so...meh. How does plague destabilize differ from smash leg/arm? It was changed to only break 1 limb, right?

    Speaking of magi, anyone have the staffstrike limb dmg %'s for air staffstrike/all the other staffstrikes?

    I'm guessing around 9% for air staffstrike and around 12.5% for everything else

  • There's a reason it's called a quickie

  • The affliction Justice.

    Does it just rebound damage? or is it like a psuedo rebounding where limb damage reflects too?
  • AhmetAhmet Wherever I wanna be
    @Senoske doesn't reflect limb damage afaik, just straight damage.
    Huh. Neat.

    Are any of these not cureable by tree?

    depression
    retribution
    shadowmadness
    parasite
    justice
    Huh. Neat.
  • All treeable in my experience. 


  • Is there any reason tree isn't mentioned in AFFLICTION SHOW <affliction>? It shows whether or not an affliction is focusable, I don't see any reason not to include tree as well.

    In the immortal words of the wonderful Lady Lorielan, No.

  • Not appropriate.

  • People tell me SMOKE WEED cures depression, but so far it's failed every time :(
  • Dude, smoking weed should give you tunnelvision.

    I've never wanted a reinheirdt's shield broken more than playing high. I've played my only hours as bastion stoned.
  • AhmetAhmet Wherever I wanna be
    @Tahquil Just ignore her. I don't think it's quite worn off yet :mrgreen:
    Huh. Neat.
  • When no one else has played Overwatch >.>
  • Oh. Well public service announcement I guess. Using weed to medicate depression IRL is a terrible idea. Weed makes you focus SUPER HARD on a thing. The people it works for have other things other than emotions that they focus superhard on. Art, philosphy, that speck on the wall, etc. However if your thoughts a dominated already on self-deprecating and depressive thoughts there is the high chance you will focus SUPER HARD on those depressive thoughts and how shit your life is and just nose dive right into the ground.

    I know maybe 7 years ago there were studies being run to see how the combination of smoking weed when depressed had a raised chance of triggering Schitzophrenia in people but I have no idea what came of it.

    Basically kids, if you're going to do illegal drugs make sure you have a robust mental state beforehand.

    Just reading about the above with helps you focus super hard, it appears that's a debatable theory. Supposed studies show it can help people with ADHD, however the general "rule of thumb" is it makes people lose focus and become more impulsive.

    Not sure how reliable the source I am reading is, however this is taken from an article written about  Dr Claudia Jensen in treating ADHD without the use of ADHD medication, instead utilising marijuana.
  • Not sure about weed, but Coke was used a lot when I played pool (not by me) as it helped people concentrate. 

    For avoidance of doubt, I never saw this on the pro circuit but certainly at the high amateur levels.

  • Not much for weed myself, makes me fall asleep more than anything else. Obviously alchohol is the worst way to go. I've only come across one illicit substance that helps at all, but it's very more-ish and given my addictive personality it's not an option :)

    But back on topic, fuck DW. And fuck svof and serverside not playing well together with those Affs :(

    I only ever used Pepsi, personally. Though that may have been Rileys not serving coke.

    I've been back a few days and not had the pleasure for fighting a DW yet. Part of me just wants to avoid it..

    Just... make sure you've got the new affs assigned a position of priority in BOTH svof and ss curing. Regardless of what you've assigned to cure it.

    I've found that out to my detriment (on four different profiles now), making complete amateurs actually look like they know what they're doing does not feel good.

    On second thoughts, avoid it until it gets nerfed again.
