Happy AUGust

Very excited to make this post, been wanting one for a long time and figured now was the best time to grab one, just came in today and after handling it I am very happy.

Also people that say this trigger sucks (have not been to the range yet so that can change) it does not feel bad at all? Growing up around guns and been shooting them for years I have tried all sorts of triggers and this one is obviously not a Geissele tier but holy is it better than what I was told.

Also got this from Bereli so it looks like they have the updated nato ones if anyone was wondering!

Normal look and taste?

Picked one of these up at work and the bar does not taste right to me, its a built sweet peach punch and was the only gluten free bar at work. I dont think I will be getting another one as it tastes like soap mixed with some other not so great flavors.

Should I go with a different flavor next time?

Interested in a steyr Aug almost sending it on one however

How does the rifle suppress and I am currently having the itch to pickup an Infinity 556k for it would that be a decent option?

I have an 11.5 sbr suppressed with a lazarus 6 and a 14.5 with a flow 556k, those cans I tend to keep on those rifles without changing them so that would be the same thought process with the Aug. I do intend to go with something that is low back pressure more than putting a flow on it as the flow does what I want it to do however the lazarus 6 tone is more pleasant to me.

I did read the gas regulator from steyr or another place is the best to upgrade if running suppressed, however I am also interested in giving it a shot until they come back in stock with the stock one.

Help on arms warrior

Hello all, I know arms is an easier spec but I am finding myself struggling abit with it. I am wondering if there is any good guides or if there are tips that can be shared to do better in soloshuffle?

My first match was 6-0 then 1-5 and followed by a 3-3. However I got back on later in the night and was getting destroyed. Went from 2500 mmr down to 2200 because I kept queuing for no reason other than to play which was a bad idea as I tanked but I wanted experience more than rating. (They gave me an all caster lobby as my final match and it was the most frustrating 2-4 I have ever done)

So far this season I have 7 toons geared in soloshuffle with ratings from 1800-2150, my best seems to be afflic warlock with runner up being frost mage. Worst character has been sub rogue followed by havoc demonhunter. Originally I was assassination rogue but buddy said sub was better and found out it was not better for me lol.

I feel I tend to be better at casters but wanted to give classes I like a chance after taking an expansion break and skipping TWW.

Any tips would be helpful and I tend to hover around 2100ish-2200 mmr depending on spec obviously.

Played wow since burning crusade but being older I have less time and want to maximize these rating pushes as I use to mythic raid/key push and find pvp more fun now with less forced time commitment than pve.

Shoutout to the hunter in soloshuffle yesterday!

To start things off I am horrible at soloshuffle, I play on multiple classes trying to decide on which to play for season 2. So yesterday I start on the rogue as sub and absolutely just get my shit kicked in, nothing is going right for me so I decide to swap back to my warlock for some confidence boosting..

First match on the afflic warlock is not going well, I am 0-3 not sure if it was going back to a caster after being mostly melee for the past 2 weeks but fuck it im on edge.

Hunter decides to say “you should name change to OWEN, cause you are about to be 0-6”. Lit a fire under my ass I have not felt in a while. We win that round. 1-3 right now.

Next round dps swap, they ask who I want to focus and I immediately say “hunter” out of anger. We end up winning both rounds and ended at 3-3.

GG buddy, who knew all it took was you to say that and the next match I went 4-2. Current rating is only 1937 on the lock but I may push further now after that massive confidence boost.

Question about chicken thighs

Hey everyone, I am wondering what the most accurate way to estimate calories for these? I weigh them usually in grams before I cook and I bought them from aldis, which from information I can find is 140 calories and 22g for the boneless skinless chicken thighs at 112g raw.

The reason I am worried is it seems to have alot of variance between each piece of meat fat wise, I tend to cut off the harder pieces of fat but I am worried I could be eating these and be off by 100 or more calories.

Should I go back to something simpler like chicken breast or just get chicken thighs and hope the calorie estimate is correct. (One reason I tend to stay away from steak also)

Warlock spec for smooth soloshuffle

Hey all, leveling up my lock as a secondary to my mage. I am wondering between demo and destro which would be the better spec to get use to warlock in solo arenas?

I dont have a ton of soloshuffle experience but managed to make it to 2150 on the mage and blitz was great til I tried to ride out a loss streak (I did not)

Any lock tips are welcome

Can we please fix this bug?

Farming for pearls with low drop chance? Great gives me a farm

Farming for pearls with changing parts? Great gives me a chance to keep farming

Farming for pearls that may or may not drop at 60? Waste of time

Why can we not have shit like this fixed? Like im on UVH 6 on a level 60 that has been 60 for a long time.

Come on

First pearl

I got my first pearl and I’m sure everyone gets this one when they do the stone demon mission.

But I’m wondering if this is a half decent roll for bossing since its ripper sticky with jakobs?

(Phone pick sorry I’m lazy)

Finally decided on Vex or Harlowe (kind of)

Decided to just start at 30 and level them both up with the deciding factor being which hits 60 first. Vex won it for me as I hit 60 with her last night but still tempted to keep trying Harlowe.

Few problems I have with Harlowe is her red tree feels powerful but awful to use, I got her to level 40 and had to switch to Green tree which made her alot more enjoyable. The second issue is outside of her abilities it seems she still struggles to kill while everything is recharging. On vex I have had no issue so far with that and both were using the wombo combo and rocket shield for farming vile bounties.

I do like that Harlowe seems to be able to choose between red and green tree however red trees ability sometimes will not register for me on the second press making me miss the vile enemy or just not go off at all.

Vex has the clones (minions) that I played with for abit and they where pretty fun, I like her green tree more and hope the red becomes viable endgame but minions in Bl4 seem to just be off to me. Except for rafas cannons that carried me through my first play through when it released lol.

Also vile bounties got pretty boring after awhile but they are pretty easy which is nice, from 30-36 was a struggle on both characters even when I took Vex through the DLC on UVHM, ultimately I broke down and farmed a wombo combo every 5-8 levels to make the bounties better.

XP still feels like it needs to be brought up abit higher for some activities, I play a ton of D4 and having various activities that give you good xp in that game then going to only vile bounties in Bl4 did not feel great.

I know there are a few different events you can re do in BL4 but the XP gets beat by Vile bounties, however levels felt more fun when farming those events (bad with remembering names of things but they spawn a boss at the end)

Final point if we can get something in the end game that scales maybe infinitely or you can repeat multiple times for some way to increase affixes on gear would be pretty fun. I know this game is a play until bored then drop but with how it seems they tried to implement a “battle pass” style with XP and quests to earn tokens for legendaries and skins, it would be nice to have a repeatable event that felt worth farming to even get just a tiny bit more powerful. Im not saying full destiny or D4 style but farming all this gear and putting time into this character would be nice to have some way to test it aside from a raid boss.

Stuck between Vex or Harlowe

Before I drop some serious hours into one of these classes im wondering which one is more like a spellcaster or sorcerer type? In other games I tend to run with characters that have some sort of spell casting to them.

Im guessing it is the siren Vex but I have heard from a few videos that Harlowe is like some of the past sirens which peaked my interest as I enjoyed Maya, Amara and Lilith alot.

I did start Bl4 with Rafa but once I hit 50 I wanted to switch but never found the time, things are settling down and with the level cap/dlc I want to start with something im going to enjoy.

▲ 1 r/Diablo

Managed to bring down mephisto last night and while im not a huge fan of how the season is kept from progress with this boss, I will say I actually had fun with the challenge.

I switched over to diablo 4 for pretty much the only game I play a ton because its fun to hop on and blast for an hour or two, I use to play alot of souls and soulslike games (pre nerf radahn champion two times), raided mythic content and high level mythic dungeons in wow so I enjoyed the challenge in games more than anything. I got very burnt out after chasing that feeling around two years ago.

This boss actually made me feel that challenge again and get that feeling I did from when I beat Lilith the first time in season of blood.

I will say lilith still has some of the annoying parts that I thought were fixed in the past seasons since they changed how her second phase works if you down here before the platform falls.

Mephisto never felt that far out of reach but the one shot mechanics where something else with this boss, I had a few game breaking bugs happen where he would either kill me at half health with his phase 3 start ability randomly on phase 2 at half health, to just spawning me in phase 3 while he was in phase 2 but nothing was there.

All in all if they took out some of the randomness this boss would be perfect, the red orbs in phase two that heat seek would come out of his body after killing his phase two form and kill me, the loosing of the abilities in phase 3 felt bad especially with one shot mechanics and I think that should of been a one off niche gameplay trick for the campaign. Phase 1 feels pretty good to me and phase 3 felt good after the ability pickup phase. Phase 2 is a nightmare and while the poisen is easy to side step if he disappears for a second on screen (still cannot zoom all the way out in this fight) you will probably get hit with a random heat seeking projectile or 360 no scoped by the chest laser.

Shitty pic attached to show the glitch that required me to leave the game as I could not teleport out or fix it without logging out.
