Things Specters/Druids say during a strike

Step into my healing aura you shit fuck

Every time I get around to making my next bit of obsidian gear I forget I have to do the last step myself at the crafting bench and sit there confused at the mystic toilet for several minutes checking my inventory and the item list.

Implied forces required to beat the final boss of each expac:

Base game: An actual army of thousands of people

Season 1: About half the population of one of the largest cities

Season 2: A roaming gang of nerds

Heart of Thorns: Half of seal team six and a few hundred people to run hands with the husk of what's left afterwards

Season 3: seal team five and a half

Heart of Thorns: These hands (Victory and Death) and your brand new daughter (who can probably throw hands better than you. Honestly, you're her backup)

Season 4: the friends we made along the way...plus somehow the friends who died along the way...plus somehow the friends we didn't make cause they died before you were born...and your daughter and her other dead mom (you also died, but it was her other mom who died a few years before you did) and that army from the Base Game for two fights and a new army your daughter starts

Ice Brood Saga: we're back baby (with an entire army at our backs)

End of Dragons: the friends we made along the way (but the final battle in the centre of the mind is you and 4-9 other people failing at strike mechanics for 15 minutes)

What Lies Beneath/Within: Your trauma and the best victims capitalism can buy

Secrets of the Obscure: The secret club who won't let you be an official member

Secrets of the Obscure Act 2 (that time we threatened an indigenous population with oblivion if they didn't win a civil war): Half the indigenous population of a pocket dimension and some of that secret club from before

Janthier Wilds: You and your 4 backup dancers (plus an old lady who could kick your ass if she wanted)

16 minutes has been my best convergence time for a PUG group.

Sometimes people scatter in the exact right way to clear the pre-boss section ASAP. The boss itself is just one big DPS check (plus a bit of luck on Zojja not getting slapped with an AoE to stay easy to heal) that can melt so fast that more time is spent travelling than fighting.

Who's doing the funky cheating in the christmas jumping puzzle that needs perma superspeed?

Unlike normal cheating, this helps me (since they're not stacked on top of my character's model I can see my own movement better, and since they spend such little time on each platform they don't trigger them to fall), but why are they grinding extra jp completes?

Evon "won't tell you which date is his birthday if asked directly" Gnashblade: Hey guys, did you know were celebrating my birthday this week?

the constant evon gnashblade birthday mail glitch is one of the most hilariously in-character bugs to happen. you cannot tell me that this guy wouldnt spend top gold to have his own liddol special guy birthday party campaigned to hell and back.

i think about this all the time

Just packed to the gills with gifts. I look like a real spirit of Christmas.

(Yes, even with the congealed screams, you've heard of the yule lads, right?)

I've been on the convergences grind recently and I'm getting a good number of rift dodads in stock (22 as of writing), so I've decided to jam out the last 3 map completions of each SotO maps and here's my average times from doing each map back to back so I can improve on my flow.

Inner Nayos: 10 minutes

If I needed more map compleations I could have gotten this down further, very straight forward in terms of routing

Amnytas: 15 minutes

One of my attempts was interrupted to do the meta, but even then it wasn't much of a detour. New warclaw masteries trivialises this route, I love the zoom dog.

Skywatch Archipelago: 1 hour

This map is not fun to do fast. It's 100% Skyscale, all the time. I have tried the Taco route that uses the position rewinder to use more griffin. But neither route is fun. The map is so open, but the lanterns are somehow always in a corner, and while changeling the lantern my mount keeps wanting to turn back towards it if I'm not jumping.

I also finished jamming out the map currencies for each map up to 5.5k of each so i can just buy the meta reward currency for the gifts of stormy skies and persistence.
