Building full AP items on WW seems kind of bad, but passive and Q have pretty solid AP scalings 100% on Q and 10% on passive. Is there any math, or does anyone know how to do the math on when Dark Seal becomes worth it? The item is gold efficient on its own, but WW doesn't make the same use out of AP as say a karthus.

AD is obviously better than AP, (boosts auto damage, Q damage because Q procs on attack, and R damage because on attack procs like 3x plus 167% ratio). But a 10 stack dseal is definitely better than a longsword. Where is the cutoff?

I'm running Shojin Titanic (which I go first depends on what my first back looks like). Running conditioning overgrowth secondary. I like this build because it feels more like old AD shyvana, I'm not as squishy and one shottable. Weakness is getting kited especially as I climb through diamond. Damage is a bit lower, but teamfighting is a lot better than before imo.

Anyone have a good vid for his first clear? First clear feels kind of slow and there's probably some stuff I should do better. First smite on buff or krugs/gromp for W passive? Also I've been playing around with a wolves start for wolves gromp blue back long sword. Anyone try this out? Feeling good about it in ~d4 elo.

Testing on 7/24. Aiming to be in the 131-132 range. Took FL's in a weird order, did FL5, and 4 first-- both I got a 128. FL1- 129, 2 and 3 both 130. Taking FL6 tmr. Finished SB1 85%. Gonna do SB2 today. Been using Pankow, and skimming 300pg doc here and there. Also started looking at MCAT-alysts PS doc.

Any advice/last minute tips/things to review to break into 131+. I still have to review gen bio and gen chem later this week, but I have like ~ 2-3 solid days I can dedicate to P/S.

Testing in about a month. What are good SB %ages? Aiming for a 520. Took them in timed blocks of 50. 72% on C/P and 84% on B/B. Also what are the perceptions of difficulty on the SB’s/ the content tested? It seemed to have a high amount of enzyme questions on both BB and CP.

Missed the same amount of questions in FL2 CARS as FL1,4,5 combined. Went from a 130 avg to a 125 avg. Was this CARS unrepresentative?!? Or am I just washed as fuck.

Legit walked out of that section thinking I had a shot of a 132. Hitting my confidence kinda hard seeing that.

Looking for advice on breaking 520. Testing on 7/11. Took FL5, FL4, and FL1 (in that order. I know it’s odd)

FL5: 129/130/129/128 =516

FL4: 130/129/130/128 =517

FL1: 128/131/131/129 = 519

I think P/S is likely my weakest section. But I’m unsure how to bring it up. I’ve matured Pankow and gone through 300 pg doc.

I haven’t started SB1/2 and I’ve only done like 20/420 official CARS practice. Any advice for consistently breaking a 520? Also finding myself struggling a bit with timing, I’m going down to the last second consistently on every section but P/S.

I suspect I may have DSPD. Consistently had a rather delayed sleep schedule. Old job allowed me to work 10:45-8pm, so I had a ~2am-10am sleep schedule on weekdays. Got laid off in September 2025-- sleep schedule drifted dramatically. Has been inconsistently 4-7am to 1-3pm.

Starting in July I non negotiably have to be functioning at peak mental capacity from 5 am onwards. So either shift 9 hours forward (2pm to 5 am) or shift 14 hours backward (2pm wake time to 4am wake time)

Starting Monday 5/4 I attempted to start shifting later and later by estimating my CBT min at 11 am conservatively (1:30pm minus 2.5 hours) and have been trying to time light exposures to be pre CBT min. And avoiding light exposure after.

I misunderstood the risk of non 24 to be rather low. I now realize I was probably wrong, and that I fucked up.

But now my estimated CBT min is ~2pm and my biological wake time is probably at ~4pm.

My current plan is to commit to delaying around the clock and stabilizing as hard as I possibly can at 8pm-4am. So my CBT min needs to shift by ~12 hours in the delay direction. I know this comes with risk of not being able to stabilize to 8pm-4am, and also has the risk of n24. But I feel damned if I do damned if I don't.

Thanks for reading. Any and all tips, advice, comments, criticism, and support welcome.
