New UCITS ETF fund (VALL) is NOT an equivalent replacement for IMID + VWRA. While TER-0.07% is lower, exposure differs; VALL includes DEVELOPED MARKETS All Cap - take note.

EIMI is an accumulating exchange-traded fund managed by BlackRock that tracks large, mid, and small-cap stocks across global emerging markets.

The FTSE Global All Cap Index includes large, mid, and small-cap stocks across developed and emerging markets (roughly 10,000 stocks). (VALL)

The FTSE All-World Index covers only large and mid-cap stocks (roughly 3,600 to 4,000 stocks). (VWRA)

Take note that by buying VALL, you are getting additional exposure to large, mid and small-cap stocks in developed markets. Further take note the difference in annualised returns over 5 years between the two indices. While past performance is not indicative of future performance, take note of the difference in exposure and returns and be aware that while TER is lower, your exposure also differs.

Whether the difference in performance is worth the TER savings is to be determined at your own DD and discretion.

Index 1-Year Return 3-Year Return (Annualised) 5-Year Return (Annualised)
FTSE All-World Index 22.50% 11.30% 11.30%
FTSE Global All Cap Index 22.20% 10.70% 10.70%

Any Felsworn Tanks here that made it to 60?

Still in the midst of levelling my Felsworn tank, in the early 40s now, due to limited playtime.

Barely see any mention of this spec here in other discussions hence putting this post up to find any other players.

Felt good in the 20-30s but dropping off significantly at 40s as it feels like the defensiveness falls off a cliff with not many defensive talents at this point. Low level gear doesn't scale very well for dodge and spells take a chunk whenever they land.

How is it going for you on the route to 60/at 60?

Way too many spells to choose to press from - Felsworn Tank

Barely level 29, there's already a tonne of abilities, more than there really should be.

4 auras, 2 debuffs, 2 spells, 6 combat abilities, 4 shields/survivability. Something like that at the moment.

Ascension Season 9 Wildcard Classless experience, but rustic > Grimfall

I've started somewhat recently on Grimfall and figured it might be worth mentioning for anyone looking for a fresh classless Wildcard experience.

The server uses a wildcard-style progression system where you're free to mix abilities and create your own build. Content from Vanilla, TBC, Wrath, and custom races as well.

It's currently running an open beta, but development has been surprisingly active. New fixes and features seem to arrive regularly, and the team is pretty visible when it comes to answering questions and gathering feedback. GM/Mod is very active on Discord and in game.

If you played Ascension Season 9, it should be oddly familliar yet different, as there's no custom spells (like the KOTE, OWTL abilities, etc) and everything feels more rustic, less bells and whistles. Same prestige, same wildcard and rolling for your perfect build type of gameplay.

I'm not part of the staff or affiliated with the project—just an Ascension refugee and kind of reliving the COVID era Season 9 experience, would love more players to hop onto Grimfall:

How's everyone feeling about RSST and CTAP?

Trying to gather sentiment on this pair, these stacked funds are not immune to liquidity events and sell offs and have fallen deeper than the underlying S&P500.

Backtesting using the following to simulate CTAP, it looks like it holds up decently, but uncertain if the backtest set up is flawed:

100 SPYSIM 100 CTA -100 CASHX 1.5% drag Daily rebalancing

Can't simulate the same on RSST with accuracy, based on the limited inception date, 50:50 DBMF and KMLM brings about a similar return, but that's just reverse engineering and not likely to be accurate representation of RSST's strategy.
