Male/female/huge -- no one likes wet feet!

You know what's a dying etiquette? Gentlemen laying their jackets down over a mud puddle so that a lady doesn't get her feet wet.

Don’t dampen their expectations.

I thought Iron Man rules were that you did a shot of vodka after every mob?!?

Well helloooo Mr. Fancy Pants!

Never forget the Spam shortage of 2018 and those who sought to profiteer:

To answer some of my own questions about Tidal Power (and I asked the question before I had picked up Tidal Forces when you can get it on demand): If I'm building Tidal Power organically, I'll try to use it on Water Jet for aforementioned reasons. Sometimes I'll use it on Water Burst because 100% knockup is useful v. bosses (unlike 100% mag 3 stun). If I'm hitting Tidal Forces (aka Build Up) I'll use it on Geyser just because it's got a higher base damage to be boosted.

Why not both? (Actually don't put them both in the same power...) Avalanche provides both recharge and knockdown (regular is 2.5ppm, superior is 3.5PPM). Overwhelming Force provides damage, knockdown at 2.5PPM (NOT 20% chance), and converts knockback to knockdown. Generally, I like to fit both into a given build, but to each their own. For me, I tend to do something like 5-shot Avalanche in Whirling Mace (first 4 and the proc) and use a 6th slot for a Forcefeedback proc

For almost every location AoE I take, I usually make two macros and put them next to the power itself. One macro will target on me; one macro will target on my chosen target; and then I can use the power itself if I want to put it on a different location. Usually something like /macro Sme powexeclocation 0:2 "Sleet" (you can use "me" rather than "0:2" but sometimes that gets spinny) and /macro Stgt powexeclocation target "Sleet"

There have been no changes in consignment fees since the auction house was introduced during Live. You are misremembering or suffering from some other sort of cognitive bias.

I think I'd replace the word "unwarranted" with "unsolicited". If I'm joining a Mo-*** run or someone wants to lead a team to do things in a specific way, I consider any advice or recommendations I'm going to get to be solicited on my part because I'm buying into it. If I'm just kicking around and someone tells me I need to do XYZ because that's what they do, /gignore Bossy Becky.

You're already dead. You have nothing but time.

Over a dozen.

You're going to hate my upcoming guide then for SO MANY REASONS.

I think this should only be happening if you are stacking knock* from other sources as well. The knock* from the Sweep is 0.67, which in and of itself will cause knockdown. However, if you have enough knock* from other sources to get that magnitude over about 0.75, then they will get knocked back instead. I did some testing on this a long time ago and I don't remember exactly what the upshot was. The Sudden Acceleration proc takes total knock* and divides it by ten IIRC, which should almost always get you under 0.75 and this knockdown rather than knockback. The Power Overwhelming proc also divides by ten, but when the proc activates I don't remember if that is before or after the divide by ten part. Needless to say, there are absolutely times when some foes get knocked down and some get knocked back and that almost certainly has to do with whether a proc gets activated or not.

Every 6-12 months I pull one of these out and try to make them work, and then I reshelve them. I don't find any of the combos all that worthwhile, certainly not enough to go out of my way to make them happen. I'm generally going to be AoE oriented, so Sweep and Attack Vitals are probably my overall focus, but that's a drag when you are down to one hard target. But the real problem for me is the animation for Typhoon's Edge. I can't stand it. And to me it is too crippling to skip the key AoE.

That's my whole point. If you had Water Jet slotted with 2x A/D hammi and 4x 3.5 damage procs, based on the proc calculator you'd have about a 2/3 chance of each proc going off, but if you save Tidal Power for it you get it up instantly again, and I think the proc chances should be roughly the same.

Someone set notoriety at +0 and /0

I'm happy to be pointed in the right direction, but I'm having troubles finding anything accurate from this decade, so I figured I'd throw it out there. I'm mostly a melee player, but I've got a bunch of water/*** alts, mostly corruptors, and I've really never bothered to level them up. I'm slow levelling a water/cold right now (currently at 32), and answering some of my own questions as I go, but wanted to check the pulse of the group mind such as it is. 1. Does "+Wet" actually do anything yet, or is this a placeholder for a possible future dynamic? 2. What powers are people skipping? I'm picking up some dislike for Steam Spray but I personally find it indispensable, properly slotted and with some extra range. So far I've only passed on Aqua Bolt, but as I progress I may look to drop something else as my recharge picks up. 3. What's the consensus on which power to save for Tidal Power? I don't feel the extra healing from Dehydrate is worth waiting on; both Water Burst and Geyser use up all stacks and give extra damage (which is great) and extra % for knockdown/stun (which is less great -- I'll get that from other sources). I've been using it for Water Jet, and this is one of the rare instances where I will stack procs like mad since you get to use the power twice in quick succession.

Aw, thanks for asking! No.

Did someone say they wanted some money?

You ain’t seen nothing yet, if I ever get around to it.

I approve this message.

Just so you know, you are the reason why no one can have nice things. I don't mind you gaming the system, but I resent you trying to change the system so you can game it better.

I am hardly the first to boldly split infinitives.
