Probably not what most people are going for here, but is it possible to artificially keep a hive smaller without having them swarm?
Here's where I'm at: I overwintered a colony and there are now 4 honey supers on it and one brood super. I am not convinced that's enough supers to contain the next nectar flow (I have 4 more supers on the way). My other nucs are blowing up and I'm going to be at least at deep + brood super going into winter, and then probably the same productivity as my overwintered hive in 2024 and now we're talking what, 15 supers across the 3 hives? That is starting to seem like a lot to manage and process.
I unfortunately don't have the space or time to operate more than 3 hives, and money is tight right now for more supers. Is there some way to keep em smaller? I'd be really happy with hives that are 1 deep, 1 brood super, and 3 honey supers x 3 annually. Am I just at the whim of the beast and if they need space, I need to plan to accommodate them? I have a couple nuc boxes and will split into those if it comes to it, and just sell or give away the nuc I spose. Have those and two swarm traps set-up in case my girls decide it's time to split.

When it comes to the story, characters, visuals and gameplay this game will probably deliver but im really not sure about the side quests, they confirmed that a big chunk of the game is made up of side content but despite the many interviews and trailers they are not revealing much about the side quests except that they are in the game and thats it, but after the previews pretty much everyone criticized how bland and pointless they are which shows why they didnt talk about them, its not something that will necessarily ruin the game but if the point for them is to make us focus on the main quest then why not make the full game linear? what is the point of having open bioms if they are not fun to explore.
Im not really hating on the game but this is an area that i want jrpgs to improve on and i was hoping that FF16 will stand out in that regard especially after how they said that they are learning from other triple A games like the witcher 3 and GOW where a big highlight of those games were the side content.

So early on, I chose to ignore the level restrictions on Halaster's gates. Now through good luck and wits, having skipped quite a bit, my mid-8th level party of 5 is at THE OBSTACLE COURSE. I fear for them. I really do.
I am tempted to nerf the teleportation traps a teeny bit... DC 20 INT or perception check with Detect Magic to spot them, say.
Or maybe I should let these chips fall as they may....
Netherskull's regional effects! UFF-DA!

Hi,
I am 27 and soon to be 28, I studied undergrad( public services) but got my MSc in HR at 26 with merit.
I attended some big grad schemes but didn''t get job, and rejected some good jobs because of my comfort zone, I work at night at Amazon and get okay money enough for living work only 3 days a week and this makes me feel trapped with no room to progress and fears to move because it is 'safe job' and money okay but no progress. Here I can't apply for promotion because I have warning that doesn't allow to apply for anything for over half year.
Don't want to work in HR but I have volunteering experience in my CV and also leading small teams but even with this I struggle to get interviews for retail team lead jobs. Is it worth to risk for 5 day admin job to begin with? As they call it graduate business support. Or try sales or elsewhere? It's just that thinking about admin it can make me sick especially if I won't like it, but how else can I progress, even though I don't dream about top tier employers anymorw of course but at least something.
Will appreciate any opinion, thank you ;(

I'm a 3rd level Artificer with a homunculus servant in the form of a tressym named Hermes. I've given him a collar with three bells on it he can ring that will say set words or phrases to help him communicate via magical tinkering. So far, I've come up with,
Word 1: Danger
Word 2: Follow
Word 3: ??????
I'm open to suggestions on all 3 words/6 sec phrases. Thanks in advance. Also, I'll be upping my Int next level so i could do 4 if it makes sense.

I would love some feedback of this artifact I made for a 20th level Paladin, basically how ridiculously broken it may be and if there is anything that could be improved upon.
Aegisplate, Armor of Resolute Souls
Artifact, Medium (except for hide) or Heavy Armor (mithril), requires attunement by a Paladin
This suit of mithril armor, known as the Aegisplate, bears the ancient emblem of The Order of Aegis—an esteemed order of knights devoted to protecting the innocent and upholding justice. Crafted by master artisans and infused with the spirits of eight fallen Paladins of the order, the Aegisplate possesses incredible power and a will of its own. The armor provides a +3 bonus to AC, weighs half as much as regular armor of its type, and does not impose disadvantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks.
Sentience. The Aegisplate is a sentient magic item with an Intelligence of 14, Wisdom of 16, and Charisma of 18. It has hearing and darkvision out to a range of 120 feet. The armor communicates telepathically with its attuned wearer and has the ability to speak, read, and understand Common and Celestial.
Personality. The Aegisplate embodies the steadfast and noble ideals of The Order of Aegis. It is loyal to its attuned wearer and possesses the collective wisdom and memories of the fallen Paladins it houses. The armor encourages its wearer to act with valor, protect the weak, and uphold justice. It has a strong disdain for evil and encourages righteous actions. The spirits within the armor are at peace with their fate and offer guidance and council when requested, providing a +2 bonus to Persuasion checks made when speaking to nobles.
Elemental Ward. The Aegisplate has the ability to adapt to magic attacks. Whenever the attuned wearer is hit by an magic attack, the armor instantly switches its resistance to match the type of damage received, providing resistance against that damage type until the end of the wearer's next turn.
The damage types that dpcan be resisted are acid, cold, fire, force, lightning, necrotic, radiant, and thunder.
Revive the Fallen. Once per long rest, if the attuned wearer dies, the Aegisplate can sacrifice one of the spirits within to revive the wearer, bringing them back to consciousness with and restoring half your max hit points. The spirit sacrificed in this way is released from the armor and cannot be restored. Once the spirit is sacrificed roll on the table below to determine which Paladin Oath you lose access to.
D8 Oath 1. Oath of Devotion 2. Oath of the Ancients 3. Oath of Vengeance 4. Oath of Conquest 5. Oath of Redemption 6. Oath of Glory 7. Oath of the Crown 8. Oath of the Watchers
Divine Radiance. The Aegisplate possesses a potent 30-foot aura of radiant energy that can be unleashed as an action, encompassing all creatures within the area. The armor's aura deals 1d8 radiant damage per spirit remaining within the armor, with a successful DC 18 Dexterity saving throw halving the damage. The aura can be used once per long rest.
Spirited Channeling. Once per long rest, the attuned wearer of the Aegisplate can call upon the spirits within the armor to channel the power of one of the eight Paladin oaths. As an action, the wearer can choose one Channel Divinity option from any of the eight Paladin oaths. The wearer gains the benefits of that Channel Divinity option as if they were a Paladin of the corresponding oath equal to half their character level (rounded down). This ability can be used once per long rest.

Part 7
--------------------------------------------------------
It's been two weeks since we've escaped the sleep watchers. Ramirez's concoction worked, waking everyone up and soon enough, the outside of the carts were once again the pitch black void we've got accustomed too. Thankfully, the worst thing that the sleep watchers left us with was a feeling of tiredness. Otherwise, most of us were in perfectly fine health. At least, that's how it looked at the time.
After we evaded the sleep watchers, we couldn't sleep properly for several days. Everyone was scared about getting caught in another trap, one that might leave us in an inescapable encounter with the creatures of this world. It didn't help that the black mist that was present when I woke up began following us, always disappearing just as you turned your eyes to it. Sometimes however, you would be able to catch it in the corner of your eye. It never did anything, but at this point, we couldn't take any chances.
We ended up doubling our watch. Now, four people were awake at all times, paired in groups of two. Most of the times I paired with Marie, one of us being the lookout while the other carefully studied the journal. We would switch places when one of us needed a break. One night, I was standing at the door of the carts while Marie was reading.
"Hey, come back here," Marie yelled suddenly, scaring me half to death, "I think I found something!"
I rushed back and sat next to her.
"What is it? What did you find?"
"I think this is the thing that kept following us for the last few days."
"Let me have a look."
Marie's finger pointed at the title of the page. Written in black, bold letters, it read "Mistling". Normally, Ramirez's entries occupied at the minimum two to three pages, including the drawing. In this case however, the entry was only the drawing and a few phrases.
The drawing showed a small portion of the cart, as if you were looking straight at one of the cart doors. It was a very detailed sketch of a cart, drawn with thick lines, which contrasted with the Mistling, who was drawn with very thin lines, giving it an almost aetherial look.
"The Mistling," noted Ramirez, "as I've decided to name them, is a medium-sized floating black mist that can sometimes be found in the subway. It's appearance rate is random, given that it can take a few days to a few months between seeing one. What makes them important, at least important enough to note about them, are the following two constants:
​

1. They're almost always found near a body. Doesn't matter if the person died of natural causes or fell victim to one of the many dangers of the subway, it will be there. I can only assume that in the exceptionally rare cases one is found at random, there is a high likelihood that there was a body in that cart at some point.
2. They're always stationary. You could spend weeks in the same cart as them and the mist will always stay in the same area as you found them, the only movement being the constant swirling of the mistling.

​
Beyond this, neither I nor anyone I have met so far have no clue of what they're deal is. They don't seem dangerous, but I'd be a fool if I trusted any creature in this place. However, as far as other "residents" are concerned, the mistling is harmless enough."
"Well," she said, "seems we have an unusual fellow on our hands."
"Right..." I agreed. "And here I thought we had something..."
"It's still better than nothing." said Marie, putting her hand on my shoulder. I instinctively put my hand on hers.
"Besides," she continued , "not considering this thing's unusual energy, everything else seems to check out. Hopefully, it's still as harmless as Mr. Ramirez said."
"You may be right," I said, "but we'll still need to keep a watch on whatever this Mistling is."
"Obviously. After all, someone I know told me" said Marie in a slightly jokey way while poking my arm, ""you can never be too careful." Quite a few times actually."
I started blushing a little bit. "Come on now, don't make fun of me like that!"
"I'm just teasing you is all." she smiled at me, putting her head on my shoulder, "Besides, I like that careful side of yours. Don't be ashamed of it."
I kept silent while still blushing.
"Even still," she said while yawning and stretching her arms, "I'd take even more of these Mistlings over that green-skin thing any day. That one really gave me the heebie-jeebies. Ugh."
I paused for a second and I turned my head towards her.
"What green-skin thing?"
"Oh, just one of the previous entries in this thing." she said, in a half-asleep voice. "Was a disease if i remember correctly."
"Let me take a look." I said, taking the journal from her hands.
"Knock yourself out, dear..."
"And you should wake up," telling her as I nudged her a bit "we can't go sleep yet!"
"But I'm sitting so comfortable now... Five more minutes, pleaaase..."
"Fiine..." I sighed as I opened the journal, "but you better get up afterwards."
"Yeey."
"Now let's see here... Ah! There it is."
The entry was titled "Green-Skin Disease." The drawing was spread across the two pages of the journal, showing what appeared to be an evolution of a sick man. It started with a picture of a shoulder with a deep, bleeding cut across it, noted as "entry point". That was Stage 0. An arrow pointed to the next picture, Stage 1 written over it. The drawing zoomed out of the shoulder, showing the figure of a normal looking man, scratching his shoulder. The location of the wound had two new scribbles: "green" and "flakey". The next arrow pointed towards a drawing of the same man, Stage 2. This time however, the man looked sick, having sunken eyes and visible bones. The scribbles pointed towards the man's skin, reading "greenish skin" and "yellow veins". After that, the arrow showed the man, barely a skeleton. Stage 3. His skin was noted as "entirely green" with the addition of the word paralyzed next to him. The final arrow pointed to the man, deceased.
I found the imagery disturbing enough, but Ramirez went into detail.
"The Green-skin disease, named after the characteristic shade of green left on the body, is one of the few new bodily afflictions I have encountered as I ventured across the subway. Its deadliness is only matched by its rarity, having had encountered only a few unfortunate souls that suffered from this disease. Ten people I have met, of various age groups and ethnicity, with the only discriminatory factor between them being the age, revealing that the older someone is, the quicker it spreads. Of the ten, only one of them has survived, solely because the group I was in at the time reacted quick enough. All ten of the victims, including the people of the groups some of them were in, have told me what they have been through, providing me with a clear pattern to base my research on. The progression of the disease is as follows:
Infection: For the disease to take place, there needs to be at the very least a tiny amount of Green-Mushrooms present in the area, mature enough to release spores. The Green-Mushrooms look identical to regular mold, making the two indistinguishable. Luckily, the Green-Mushrooms take a while to be mature enough to release spores, dying quickly thereafter. Contributing to its rarity is the fact that the only way for the spores to infect the body is via an open wound in the skin, breathing or ingesting the spores not resulting in an infection. Nevertheless, if a person is unlucky enough to suffer an injury while there are green-spores in the air, the spores will take root on the skin, feeding upon it.
Stage 1: The spores have begun spreading. They have a very slow spreading rate, taking months or even years for it to advance to the next stage. Characteristic of this stage is the steadily growing green patch of skin, even after the closure of the wound. The green skin left by the spores is characterized as slightly itchy, resulting in the sufferer to often scratch themselves, leaving small amounts of green skin flakes that carry spores. This is the only stage where the person infected might still be saved. If you were lucky, the infection began at one of your limbs, making it possible to amputate the infected arm or leg. It is only necessary to amputate from above the infection area downwards, possibly remaining with more of your healthy limb. If you were unlucky and the infection began at a vital area, or you didn't have the tools or knowledge to amputate it on time, the disease will eventually progress to the stage.
Stage 2: The spores have gotten deep enough to reach your circulatory system. Once it's in the blood, the spores will travel all throughout the victim's body, coloring the veins in a sickly yellow and turning the skin to a light green. The person now begins to feel tired and moody, showing signs of fever. They will lose weight despite eating, the energy of the food being sent to the ever-increasing spores inside their body. If there are not enough nutrients for the spores, the disease will begin feeding on the body of the victim. Only after a day or two once stage two has been reached, the victim will enter stage three
Stage 3: This is the final stage of the disease. The spores begin attacking the nervous system, leaving it paralyzed from the neck down, a result of the spores eating the remainder of the victim's nerves and organs. The last organ to go is the brain, resulting in the death of the victim. This stage only lasts an hour.
I have yet to discover a cure for the Green-Skin Disease. The only sure fire way of escaping is to remove the infected area of the body before it reaches the bloodstream. If it reaches the bloodstream, the kindest thing to do for the victim is to kill them painlessly, before they reach the final stage."
My skin began to crawl after finishing the last sentence. I couldn't believe something this insidious could ever exist, but then again, a few months ago I couldn't believe any of this could possibly be real.
"Hey kid, found anything interesting?"
Matt's arrival had brought me back to reality.
"Oh, hey Matt, what are you doing here?"
"Your shift's ended. Me and Nick are taking over, so you and the miss can get some rest, though from the looks of it, she beat me to the punch eh?"
Marie was fully asleep, her head still on my shoulder.
"Yeah, sure. Thanks Matt." I replied.
"No problem kid... Heh," Matt chuckled a little bit, "If I think about it, I'll probably have to stop calling you kid soon."
"What do you mean?"
Matt began smiling. "John told me of your little plan with the rings."
"Shhhh, quiet." I said, as I turned my head to Marie, making sure she was still asleep.
"Don't worry, I've seen that girl. Doubt an earthquake would be able to wake her up."
"I suppose that's fair. Marie was always a heavy sleeper."
"Is that so? Well, better wake her up so she can sleep in a more comfortable place."
I woke Marie up and began leaving Matt and John to their watches.
"Hey Matt?" I asked, just before I exited the cart.
"What's up?" he asked as he sat down on one of the chairs.
"How's the leg?"
"Eh, it's fine. You don't have to worry about it."
"You're still limping though."
"Hey, if you were shot in the leg at my age, you'd probably limp too."
"I suppose that's fair. Are you sure everything's alright?"
"Very sure. Go on now, don't leave the girl waiting. Plus, I have a mighty itch to scratch, so I'd rather you not witness it."
I left as soon as he said that, not wanting to be part of something I thought it might be quite unsightly. As I made my way to Marie, my mind was lost in thought again, trying to remember everything I read today. Because of that, I tripped on one of those metal poles people used to hold onto when the subway was busy, though now without purpose in this endlessly empty place. What caught my eye however was something I saw when I looked on the floor of the cart.
Small, greenish-looking flakes.

Will you go on the hunt for a long forgotten treasure? Will you seek for revenge? Do you get involved in the political intrigues of a kingdom or are you just looking to find your place in this world filled by magic, great empires, monsters and glorious warriors?
Whatever it is you are looking for I am sure we can find a good plot just bring your character along or create one. I have a loose background story built for this universe and created some established characters that I could play as (you could as well if you have difficulties finding a good character for yourself). I am fine playing as and with any gender so let me know what you prefer.
Here is a little preview of the world I plan to play in. I also have a few already established characters I could play and you are welcome to create a character that fits in or just bring your character along and we decide together how he would fit in.
Calintha is divided into 4 continents. Polaris, the smallest one in the north, with a harsh cold climate and only few people living there and only small kingdoms and communities. Due to the weather are the people of the continent known for their strength and tenacity.
In the south there is Harani and it's vast deserts, hot weather and it's stunning osases. While not as densly populated as the western continent does Harani inhabit a few big and rich kingdoms with remarkable craftsmann ship.
Garason is the western continent. It's the largest and most populated one and the origin of 3 of the 4 eternal kingdoms (now 3). The 4 kingdoms are the undisputed most powerful and most influential kingdoms in all of Calintha and it's rumoured that it's monarchs are descendants of the old gods themselves. As center of civilization is it a culutrally diverse place with many different smaller nations alongside the big influential nations.
And then there is Kanju in the east. It's a combination of civilized and totally untouched nature. It's the by far most fantastic place with various different flora and fauna. It also inhabits the last of the 4 eternal kingdoms.

Part 1, Chapter 1
Part 1, Chapter 2
Dillium decides that it would be a good thing to know what this potentially stolen merchandise is, so she takes it to one shady character on the boat after another. Finally, she approaches Novos, who doesn't know what it is, but has a guess that it might be something that previously was owned by an archmage. Or something. He takes the scroll case in hand, and wandering "aimlessly" around the streets, happens upon a friendly mage who, for a modest sum, removes the wizard lock from the scroll case. Somewhat disappointingly, the scroll case isn't trapped, but when Novos looks at the contents, he discovers that he can't read it. With some disgust, he manages to pry the small colored gem slivers out of the scroll case and pocket them. The current whereabouts of the slightly less ornate and slightly less expensive looking scroll case and contents is unknown.
Dillium, perhaps to make up for inadvertently handling stolen goods, looks around for another temple to visit, wherein she learns that not all temples double as hospitals. The clumsy attempt by a novice of Torm (the god, not the novice priest's name) to either join the church or leave are largely overlooked, and Dillium returns to the hotel...
... Just in time for the second night of Mrs. Potts' Shore Party. The Party moves to a more secluded part of town, in a small nondescript dead end alley. Dinner is largely scones and small cookies, with a heady but lightly scented glowy wine. Mrs. Potts describes in great detail the dresses that she is having a local tailor make for her, while Dillium generally keeps out of the way and Novos makes the startling discovery that a department store chain is named after a large family. Finst and Dalton are unusually subdued, with no great stories for the day, apparently having completely forgotten about the goblin. After a small fireworks show, everyone makes it back to the hotel and turns in for the night.
The party is awakened to the forlorn howl of Finst upon discovering that brunch is not a buffet the next day. While Lythanderallys and Novos disappear on their own errands (Lythanderallys mostly looking for places to hide from the locals who despise elves and Novos "exploring" to find what people might know in the single largest seaport in Sembia), Finst decides that this day is the day to look at the sunken city. Once again Dalton distracts him with shore-bound excitements (and Mrs. Potts tutt-tutts about getting ones shoes wet), and a small party consisting of Finst, Dalton, Dillium, and one or two other background characters are taken on a walking tour of the city.
They pass the city hall, where absolutely nobody takes pity on a poor helpless criminal mastermind who is being flogged within an inch of his life.
They visit the home of a high mage, who is not only boring, but serves horrible cookies. After WAY too long listening to a convoluted lecture about the Weave and how magic works on Faerun (really more suited for novice apprentices than random visitors) the party takes their leave, leaving behind the cookies and a very sad mage. And an even sadder dog who will probably be served the cookies.
They visit the home of a High Priest of some interesting deity that nobody much pays attention to, but the cookies are delicious, not that anyone bothers to try. Once fed horrid cookies, twice shy. At least the lecture here is marginally more interesting, culminating in a misguided demonstration of the same sort of boring nonsense the high mage was on about. And the high priest wasn't sad that everyone left, as he kept the cookies.
The last night of Mrs. Potts Shore Party was a dinner show, as far as Finst was concerned. Jonglers and acrobats in colorful outfits pranced around doing jongler and acrobatic things, while the party ate a four course meal that included some sort of table-long fish-like creature. A new member of the shore party joined in, though nobody could much make out his details. Novos spent the evening looking for people, but not really knowing anyone or seeing anyone who might attend a tourist trap dinner. Dillium, Dalton, and others in the party took in the show, while Finst cheered and clapped at every performer. Eventually he ate some dessert. After a fitful last night in the hotel, and a delightful brunch buffet, everyone bade their last good-byes to Saerloon; Novos and Dillium at various temples (as Novos seems to have caught a bad case of "religion"), Mrs. Potts and Myriam at the tailor's, Finst and Dalton taking a roundabout stroll, and various others on their own errands.
True to her word, Captain Drask pushes away from the pier at high tide, with all aboard. The trip out of Saerloon harbor was mostly uneventful, with several of the ship's crew noticeably armed and ready, though what they were ready for is mostly unknown. Peering over the side of the boat, faces are briefly half-seen in the water before they flit away into the darkness. After the first sighting, several of the Unnamed Adventuring Party also noticeably arm themselves. Finst assumes they are men-fish. (Because there are catfish and dogfish, sea cows and seahorses, so why not manfish? Dalton takes him below.)
Many miles away, something slithers along the bottom of a dark quiet lake. A day and a night passes. The city of Selgaunt slides into view.
End of Chapter 2.

Basically what the title said.
I was playing ranked with a friend. Enemy support picked Yuumi. I thought about the interaction between Yuumi W and Morde R, so I went "Why not?".
What resulted was pure chaos. Jinx Morde vs Akshan Yuumi. We stomped lane since lvl 3, and from lvl 6 it was basically a free double kill every time I had ult up. When the Akshan actually had enough money to build a QSS, the game was already over - and I could ult any other carry, since Akshan was too behind to represent any kind of trouble. Keep in mind that it was a Gold game, so I don't know how it would work in higher elo. Since then, I've played it against other kinds of lanes and we (almost) always had a good time.
Benefits:

• No mana: what every support dreams about: spamming spells without having to go back to base. Because you've also got...
  
• ...Sustain, in the form of both shields and heals. The longer the trade, the more you benefit from both.
  
• CC: You've got an AoE pull which also gives you passive Magic Penetration, allowing you to make up for the item slot you're losing by going support and, well, the limited amount of gold you can get compared to other roles. Oh, and the pull goes through minions and terrain.
  
• AoE damage with both Passive and Q, with the latter having also single target bonus.
  

Then, at level 6, you unlock your ult. You can then choose the high priority target to take to Brazil, while your ADC dispatches of their preferred target. Even if you can't kill your victim, it's very unlikely that they manage to kill you, so if your ADC either kill or make the other enemy flee, you're then left in a 2v1 situation. Most of the times, you can even kill your target in the early game inside your ult.
Happy little instruments that allow for this pick to work in the early game:

• Runes: personally, I like to go for standard runes (conqueror tree with bone plating/conditioning and revitalize). They work beautifully both for burst ADCs like early Kai'sa and DPS focused ones like Kog.
  
• Summoners: ghost+exhaust. Ghost can help you close distances in your ult against mobile targets, and exhaust basically denies any kind of fighting back while also adding a slow on top of your ghost.
  

Now for the cons of this pick:

• I've found that poke lanes are manageable by playing aggressively, while aggressive picks such as Lucian+Nami are troublesome before level 6
  
• Peeling: if there are multiple threats to your adc, you're basically leaving them alone the moment you ult a high priority target. Also, when your ult is on CD, your only way of peeling is your E, which is painfully slow.
  
• Spell shields: Sivir and Morgana can basically deny your ult on demand with a comparatively low cooldown.
  
• There are just some duos that your ADC can't fight in a 1v1 with either of them.
  

Now, for my favorite build path!

• First item: most of the times, I like to go straight for Jak'sho. Aegis of the Legion gives you ton of resistances, which scale beautifully with your sustain.
  
• Boots: it depends on the match-up. If my main target is the support or an APC, Mercuries are basically mandatory. If I'm ulting the ADC, a 12% AA damage reduction + armor is huge in the early to mid game.
  
• I like to go Anathema second item. It's rather cheap, and by the time you'll be building it, chances are your income will be much more restricted than during the landing phase. It's basically a second, permanent exhaust on the enemy that you will target for your ult. And, surprisingly, health is also good for your W. Sometimes, when the enemy ADC is aggressive - such as a Lucian or a Draven, I can buy Anathema first item.
  
• Rest of the build: situation dependant. If the enemy has an AP threat, Visage makes your W broken. If you're against a mostly AD team, either Thornmail for the Grevious wounds or Aegis for the added DPS. Frozen Heart if you're really desperate for armor. Rylai's combos well with your passive, but I generally prefer to go for tank items first. I don't really build Force of Nature, since Visage is simply better on Morde, but you can buy it as your second MR item. Abyssal mask is a meme item, but I have yet to try it again after the buffs.
  

That's it! I think it's a bully lane, but you have to snowball before the enemy team gets at the point of the game where isolating a single high priority target isn't enough to protect your ADC.
Of course, having played it only in about ten Gold games makes it still a meme pick, but I think it's really fun.

Hi,
I am 27 and soon to be 28, I studied public services in undergrad and got my MSc in HR at 26 with merit.
I attended some big grad schemes but didn''t get job, and rejected some good jobs because of my comfort zone, I work at night at Amazon and get okay money enough for living work only 3 days a week and this makes me feel trapped with no room to progress and fears to move because it is 'safe job' and money okay but no progress. Here I can't apply for promotion because I have warning that doesn't allow to apply for anything for over half year.
Don't want to work in HR but I have volunteering experience in my CV and also leading small teams but even with this I struggle to get interviews for retail team lead jobs. Is it worth to risk for 5 day admin job to begin with? As they call it graduate business support. Or try sales or elsewhere?
Will appreciate any opinion, thank you ;(

From The Designers

Thank you for testing out the revamped heroes on the Advanced Server these past few weeks. We're now ending the hero tests except for Layla. Thank you again for your support.

I. Hero Adjustments

The following uses (↑) (↓) (~) to indicate Buff, Nerf, and Adjustment.

[Yu Zhong] (↑)
We understand how important the Sha Residue eruption effect was to Yu Zhong and have reinstated the effect. We have also removed the Sha Essence effect to simplify his Passive and streamline his gameplay.
[Passive] (↑)
Reinstated Effect: Sha Residue Eruption. Removed Effect Sha Essence.
New Effect: Gains Movement Speed when Sha Residue erupts.
[Skill 1] (~)
Cooldown: 5-3.5s >> 7-5.5s
Base Damage: 220-400 + 100% Extra Physical Attack >> 250-450 + 115% Extra Physical Attack

[Odette] (↑)
Odette has the strongest AOE damage in the game, but her Ultimate is easily interrupted, leaving her with nothing else to do. Therefore, we're making it less likely to be interrupted, and increasing the casting range of her normal skills slightly to compete with other Mages. We'll keep an eye out on the changes and may make further adjustments in the future.
[Skill 1] (↑)
Cast Range: 6 >> 6.5
[Skill 2] (↑)
Cast Range: 5.6 >> 6.2
[Ultimate] (↑)
New Effect: The skill can now only be interrupted by Petrify, Freeze, Airborne, Transform, Suppression and other high level CC effects.
Removed the dash on the second use component.

[Valir] (~)
We've reverted some previous changes to optimize Valir's lane clearing experience.
[Passive] (↓)
Damage per Second: 1.2% target's Max HP >> 0.6% target's Max HP
[Skill 1] (↑)
New Effect: Grants 50% Energy Charging Time when hitting Minions.
Removed Effect: Restores a fireball after each kill.

[Paquito] (↑)
Optimized Paquito's lane clearing and jungling experience.
[Skill 1] (↑)
Hitting Creeps now also grants a shield.
[Skill 2] (↑)
Now deals damage to Minions along its path.

[Gord] (↓)
With the increased cast range, Gord's Skill 2 can be used to hit targets at the same time as his Ultimate, so we've reduced his Ultimate's damage to balance.
[Ultimate] (↓)
Base Damage: 135-225 >> 120-200

[Irithel] (↑)
Slightly improved Irithel's early game performance.
[Attribute] (↑)
Base Physical Attack: 118 >> 123

[Ixia] (↓)
Slightly nerfed Ixia's early to mid game performance.
[Attribute] (↓)
Base Physical Attack: 120 >> 100
[Skill 1] (↓)
Damage: 170-295 + 80% Total Physical Attack >> 125-225 + 60% Total Physical Attack

[Ruby] (↑)
Slightly improved Ruby's performance in the Exp Lane.
[Skill 1] (↑)
Damage: 80-180 + 65%-90% Total Physical Attack >> 90-215 + 70%-95% Total Physical Attack

[Benedetta] (~)
Based on the experimental and Lifesteal changes from the last patch, we have adjusted Benedetta's enhanced Basic Attack for new build options.
[Passive] (~)
Enhanced Basic Attacks are now regarded as Basic Attacks and can trigger Attack Effects from her equipment.
[Ultimate] (~)
Removed the initial slow effect. Continuous slow effect: 20% >> 50%.

[Aamon] (↓)
Thanks to his Ultimate's long cast range, Aamon can kill squishy heroes in the mid and late game from a very safe distance. We've reduced the skill range to expose him to more risk.
[Ultimate] (↓)
Cast Range: 5 >> 3.5

[Melissa] (↓)
Slightly nerfed Melissa's ability to pressure opponents in the early laning phase.
[Skill 1] (↓)
Attack Speed Boost: 50%-75% >> 35%-75%

[Badang] (↑)
Slightly reverted Badang's nerf in the last patch.
[Passive] (↑)
Stun Duration: 0.5s >> 0.6s

II. Weekly Free Heroes & New Skins

[Free Heroes]
8 Free Heroes: Server Time 06/02/2023 05:01:00 to 06/09/2023 05:00:00 (Tap the Settings button on the top-right corner of the main page to check.)
Kagura, Fredrinn, Hayabusa, Atlas, Granger, Bane, Yu Zhong, Paquito
6 Extra Starlight Member Heroes: Angela, Badang, Lancelot, Lylia, Popol and Kupa, Leomord

Focusing Mark (↑): Cooldown 6s >> 4s

[Equipment]

[Haas' Claws] (↑)
Haas' Claws hasn't been seeing much use, so we're hoping that it can be used more in battle and make a new Attack Speed & Crit Chance trio with Berserker's Fury and Windtalker.
[Attributes] (↑)
Physical Attack: 70 >> 25
New Attribute: 20% Attack Speed
New Attribute: 20% Crit Chance
Unique Attribute: 25% Physical Lifesteal >> 20% Lifesteal
[Unique Passive - Insanity] (↓)
Gains 15% extra Physical Lifesteal >> Gains 10% Lifesteal when below 50% HP
[Unique Passive - Frenzy] (New)
Gains 20% Attack Speed after a critical strike.
[Price] (↓)
1810 >> 2010
Build Path adjusted accordingly.

[Scarlet Phantom] (~)
We want heroes that rely more on Crit Chance and less on Attack Speed to have better equipment options.
[Attributes] (↑)
30 Physical Attack >> 50 Physical Attack
25% Crit Chance >> 20% Crit Chance
Removed Attribute: 20% Attack Speed
New Attribute: 10% Cooldown Reduction
New Attribute: 230 Max HP
[Unique Passive - Insanity] (Removed)
[Unique Passive - Phantom] (New)
Basic Attacks grant 10% extra Movement Speed for 1s. If a Basic Attack critically strikes, the increased Movement Speed will be doubled.
Build Path adjusted accordingly.

[Other]

1- All of Hylos and Vale's skins have been temporarily disabled as we optimize their skills. They'll be available again when the optimizations are complete.
2- Optimized the status icon of Kaja's passive. If a hero takes skill damage from Kaja, the effect and stack count will now be shown below their status bar.
3- Optimized the trigger condition for Queen's Wings. The effect can now be triggered even if the granted shield isn't destroyed.
4- Optimized the visuals of Hylos' Skill 1. It now has visual effects for the start of the cast and for his weapon during enhanced Basic Attacks.

Wanderlust Travel Stories

I grew up in the Middle East (Jordan), and my siblings became religious partly because of what had taken place in our previous home over the years. Our attempts to approach these situations rationally were fruitless, especially when my non-superstitious adults (our parents) just decide to stop ignoring this ‘shadow-entity’ (which we’ve all been seeing but never discussed or brought up to one another), and decide “fuck it, can we please cleanse this place and move the fuck out”.
This “haunting” was confirmed by several Sheikhs (Islamic equivalent of a priest, also invokes the name of the God of Abraham (Allah, if you speak Jesus’s language - Aramaic - then you’d be referring to Almighty God by the word Alaha/Elaha/Aloho). Arabic and Aramaic are semitic languages after all, with Aramaic being much older. My inclusion of this piece of trivia is not to promote Islam or any other religion, but to provide religious context.
Anyways, they cleansed the place with ayat (verses of the Quran) and banished the entities to the underworld.
I can go into the paranormal events in detail if asked to do so by a commenter, but for now I’ll just list the things my parents, siblings and I have learned after living in that place for 12 years.
1) Do not purchase antique vessels, suspicious oils, figurines or dolls from Morocco
2) If you live in an apartment building and your neighbor straight up does black magic, expect your place to be affected by the darkness as well. Demons/shadows slamming doors, scratching on walls, etc? Yeah call the police (some arab countries take sihr (magic) seriously) or get your local priest/sheikh (depending on your faith) immediately. Moving out would be your best bet especially if the magician leaves a token as revenge.
3) Do not use tarot cards.
4) Do not use a ouija board. Ban them from your household.
5) Do not buy used furniture, toys, or clothes.
6) Do not interact with any of these entities. Scratches, doors opening, etc are invitations for investigation. Do not acknowledge any of this. Prayers are your best tool.
7) Never use a spirit box or ANY device/board/tool that is claimed to establish contact with the other world.
8) Only accept incense as a gift from trusted individuals or your local religious institution. Under the category of black magic is a certain type of bakhoor (incense) which when burnt invites shayateen (demons) into the location. We seek refuge in God from these evil deeds.
9) Do not use talismans
10) If some random person asks you for your mom’s name (and the context dictates that it’s for no apparent reason), DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE PROVIDE IT TO THEM. Ask any man/woman who used to practice middle eastern black magic (in this case black magic is used to refer to magic that involves demons) why they need the victim’s mother’s name, and they’ll explain it to you. I can do so if asked in the comments.
God bless you all.

The hardest boss battle in the game, defeating the Boiler requires strategic planning beyond knowing predetermined gag combos. Having done a plethora of Field Offices in both random and arranged teams, here are some common mistakes I see amongst the players. Hopefully this will shed some light on how to make Field Offices more streamlined and less chaotic.
1) Suboptimal use of level 6 gags
The obvious example is opening with Storm Clouds instead of cream pies in 2+ star Field Offices. In a 1 star Storm Clouds are better, but in 2+ stars, you want to maximize the damage bonus during Fired Up phases. Unless you plan on restocking, start with 4 cream pies.
Another one is when to use Cakes or Storm Clouds. Most groups opt to use Cakes for all 3 turns during the 1st Fired Up phase, but a better tactic is to use Cakes, then Clouds, then Cakes (+ TU when necessary). While Cakes deal more damage, alternating between Throw and Squirt allows your team to play around Quality Control. If you use all your cakes and the Boiler siphons away squirt, you'll be left without a strong gag the following 2 turns. You'll need to use all your Clouds and Cakes to destroy the Boiler, so the sacrifice in damage doesn't matter in the end.
2) Suboptimal use of level 7 gags
Level 7 gags are used frequently on the Boiler, but treating them as merely another level 6 is doing a disservice. Wedding Cakes and Geysers affect all cogs, so their opportune time is after the Boiler leaves Defensive phase as they will kill surviving cogs in the process. If you are delivering the coup de grace, by all means use them, otherwise save them to get more bang for your buck.
Opera is used turn 2 when level 14+ cogs are present. You only need 1 Opera + 3 Fog to kill these, any extra are better saved until Boiler Fires Up. If 3 cogs die to Fogs, consider using Drop instead. The same principle applies to Soundless toons deciding whether to use Sound SOS.
3) Using remotes on weak cogs
Cogs in a 1 star are easily dispatched with Lure+Trap or Squirt+Drop. As long as your group kills 2-3 of the strongest cogs Turn 1, then heal and kill survivors before new cogs arrive next turn, you do not need remotes. Cogs in 2-3 stars can be dealt with the same way if no one is low on laff. Barring that, 1 damage + 1 healing while the other 2 toons attack or heal is usually sufficient. Putting 4 remotes during Defensive phase is redundant or even undesirable* in most cases.
*Level 8 cogs die to two lvl 1 damage remotes, Level 9 cogs die to two lvl 2 damage remotes.
4) Not being fast enough when elevator cogs appear
It is almost always better to pick a gag before elevator cogs join the fray. This is doubly true in the Boiler battle where undamaged cogs get promoted.
5) Healing at the right times
Given how much damage the Boiler inflicts, Toon up is essential for a successful run. When the Boiler is Fired Up, you want to deal as much damage as your team can get away with. Thus it is imperative to memorize laff thresholds, or minimum laff needed to survive a boiler attack. Any lower and healing is required. Also pay attention whether or not burn damage is in effect. For example, to tank a hit from 3 star Boiler a Toon needs at least 54 laff, 72 with burn damage. As for Toon up Unites, it pays to wait until you see what attack the Boiler uses before popping one.
There are a few examples of mistakes that can be avoided with adequate planning and coordination. If there are others you have seen, feel free to share below.
