If so, how?

I have watched quite a few action movies, I have never watched an action movie quite as good as The Furious and it's on par with The Raid IMO. The choreography was nothing like I've ever seen.

I'm really just looking for more of that on a similar level but I can't help but feel that it's only down from here. I've seen Twilight of the Warriors Walled In, which is also an absolutely amazing movie by the same director.

My feelings are a bit strange on this, at times I almost feel like I want to be done with the friendship but every time he comes back into my life, we go right back to being very good buds.

Basically, he goes through this cycle of being very present in my friend group, always wanting to do something almost to the point of NEEDING to do something. Always wants to play a game or figure out what we're going to do together, etc.

It's nice, I like when he's around and the whole friend group likely feels the same way as we all end up doing stuff together, etc (this happens regardless of his presence but more so when he's around).

The problem is that whenever he has any passing interest in a girl, whether romantic relationship or a POTENTIAL relationship to him, he disappears completely. I have legitimately not seen him for 2 years before due to this and when that relationship inevitably ended, he came to me and my girlfriend to unload everything and rely on us to take care of him for literal months which we did, gladly.

Nowadays he does that it more shorter lengths (1-2 months) with different girls each time and then pretends like we don't notice his absence when they inevitably fizzle out (He usually talks shit about them to me when he does come back, I had to tell him to stop doing that) and he comes back like everything is normal again and we have to figure out what we're going to do together now that he's back.

I don't know what this is but it's really bothering me now, Is this guy just a user? I don't understand people that do this. I'm okay with people spending time with their partners but these aren't even his partners 90% of the time and the other 10% are relationships that were bound to end.

Edit1: A tiny but more context that is actually probably necessary. This is all online, in a Discord server and every girl he's tried it with have been female friends of mine that were invited into the Discord server by my girlfriends or other female friends. It got to the point it felt predatory in a way (maybe the wrong word to use here) and I told him that I don't want him doing that ever again, especially my close friends who I've met up IRL WITH him.

Returning player, really want to get into the game properly as it seems this gacha ACTUALLY cares about it's playerbase and is here for the long run, similar to Limbus Company.

I really like Tulu, my favourite colour is green and he's a lilcutie, definitely want to keep playing around him.
Suggestions on who to pull or what to do is greatly appreciated and a video or something I can read that will recap me on the story up to 4-10 would be really really appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I feel kind of stuck. I have no idea how to push my ES passed 14.5k and I really want to push it to higher levels because of playing on HC but especially because I want to start doing Rituals for a few days but they seem so incredibly rippy to me, even at my ES.

I don't have any divines so there will be no budget but any suggestions will be noted and I'll work my way towards them. Any other suggestions in terms of defense are greatly appreciated.

I do know I need to work on my jewels and I definitely will do that soon.

I do not want to play Hollow Form, even though I know it's almost a defensive layer in terms of DPS and AoE, I don't like feeling so disconnected from my character.

I enjoyed Whirling Assault a lot, been playing it on HC and I'm up to T15s and am level 88. I decided to make the swap to Hollow Focus since that seems to be the natural evolution of the build but I absolutely despise the devour and rend tech, it takes me out of the game.

I really enjoyed building up combos and slamming down 3-4 bells and just melting mobs. Now Hollow Focus is absolutely higher DPS (I don't even slam down bells to do bell damage, but I don't build combo for bells either during boss fights?) but man is the devour and rend tech just so annoying and my skill effect duration even after taking all of the nearby skill duration nodes feel like ASS.

Can somebody help me either figure out the pain points of this build or suggest a way to make Whirling Assault a true main DPS skill?

I don't mind using Infernal Cry and Mantra of Destruction + bells but something about Devour spam and rend spam and worrying about my upkeep on those buffs is annoying.
