i really love that you wrote codex entries for this, they are interesting.
But i know i couldn't use it as i use Oakensoul for my Damage Dealer builds, as it makes combat more accessible to me.
You can still play 1 bar without Oakensoul equipped - just slot multibar passives on the 2nd bar and play with only 1 bar. If you're worried about swapping accidentally you can just unbind the swap bar key.
and how will i do that with Winter's Embrace, Herald of the Tome, and Animal Companions?
the only backbar buff they give is Major Sorcery and Brutality
You swap to arcanist base class and drop animal companions and go for Assassination.
Front bar: Winter's Embrace, Wall of Elements, Dread, Chilling Soul(crux builder), Banner Ulti: Northern or Destro
Back bar: Merciless (crit buff), Treatise(Weapon /spell dmg), Concealed Weapon (Speed buff), Simmering Frenzy(activate at the start of the fight optionally) Free slot, Banner, Ult: soul Harvest(ulti when you kill something)
Re: New Mythic Concept item: Lariat of the Long Winter
i like the concept. However, the 10% frost buff doesnt feel strong enough. make it 20 or 25% and it might be worth equipping .
for me, 10% over say, equpping a 5 peice of a monster set - is not worth the trade off
nice idea though
I'm with this guy. I think the 10% increase to all frost damage abilities is pretty weak, especially when considering there are not a large variety of frost damage spells out there. I think increasing this by 25-35% is probably more reasonable to make frost damage competitive because you will have difficulty increasing dps by sheer volume of frost damage abilities. Maybe even higher than that TBH. I'm imagining your main DPS bar will likely be all frost damage skills, and your back bar would be ultility/buff skills only, whereas a DK flame damage mage can have pretty much all 10 ability slots (plus ult) be fire damage related.

10% by itself isn't enough, i agree. which is why it also has cost reduction as well as a significant increase of 5 seconds for each frost damage skill, most of which are damage over time effects.

As one tech CEO put it, to paraphrase, AI is always available, it never needs to eat or sleep, and it doesn't need benefits.
And that's frankly an alarming mindset for all people because the scale of job loss that this can create if left unregulated and unchecked is unprecedented.
As a 30-year full-stack developer who uses "AI" every day, I don't know what these people are smoking. I have to fight with it to get it to do even simple things most of the time, and half the time it looks right, it's still wrong in subtle ways. I'm good at what I do because I understand the problem domain intimately, and can ask the right questions. Coding the answer is a relatively small part of the solving the problem. And yet I'm worried that I, too, will be made redundant because some middle manager thinks I am replaceable with a Copilot subscription.
The good news is you have 30 years in the business which means you are closer to retirement than most struggling with the idea that all the AI Hype the media pushed is only doing the negative and causing real people to be replaced by AI... Sad that the world is becoming so reliant on technology and forcing it down everyone's throat. I for one am glade a am not in an AI type of work and I encourage my kids to think about what careers they choose for this very reason. I hope you survive until retirement you seem like a very smart person!

The bad news is that I will never be able to retire. If it even survives, Social Security is going to *have* to be saddled with "austerity measures" that lower the payments and increase the age requirements. I will have paid full fare my entire working life, and they'll start shafting us almost exactly when I turn 65. I have much more to say about where we're obviously headed, but I'm digressing, severely. I'm glad you're not in the path of the coming AI storm, and thanks for the compliment.
Re: Should special crafting events offer double XP for crafting?

However, I don't know that I'd consider this an event since it takes all of 20 minutes -> 1 Day to complete. I think 3 weeks of bonus Inspiration would be a bit excessive.
That being said.. whatever happened to the Crafter's Celebration this year? It should have been in Q1. Did we have one around Feb/Mar and I just don't recall it?
The Crafter's Celebration was tested on PTS (unlike last year, when only a handful of players were aware of it through the marketing emails) to avoid a repeat of the unlimited Transmute Crystal exploit. The event hasn't run on LIVE again though.

Hey all, thank you for reporting this issue to us. We are aware and actively working on a fix. We'll follow up as soon as the fix is pushed live - it's not one that will require downtime.

These fps issues and complains are across all platforms, all system types, all areas of the game. There is something very deep going on. These complains are far to loud to be an isolated thing. @ZOS_Kevin
Yes, please don’t forget those of us on console. I have the Performance option on PS5 which is supposed to guarantee 60 fps and I often get far less than that.
There aren’t any more options that I know of that we can use to address this problem.
I also have seen severe performance degradation in the same timeframe as you have on PC.
Yeah. On PS5 I find that in IA all will be fine, until towards the end of Arc 2 the FPS starts to degrade and by the end of Arc 3 it's pretty bad. Step in to Arc 4, and it's bordering on unplayable.
Dunno when this behavior started as I had recently stopped going into IA regularly and even then rarely beyond the Arc 2 Marauder. But the symptoms are definitely similar to the effects of a memory leak issue. Dynamic objects not completely removed from memory after they're no longer used. Then once I end my IA session (by timing out after leaving or by spinning the hourglass), the problem goes away (mostly, not entirely).
As well, outside of IA the same degradation happens. Just much more slowly. So much so that you don't notice it until it's too late.

Re: v11.1.4 and STILL no mention of a fix for heavy attack bug.
i can only assume this is referring to Heavy Attacks sometimes cancelling abruptly.
it is frustrating when it happens, but also seems like a difficult bug to fix and replicate.
It does not happen frequently for me and if it happens it's only when doing multiple Heavy Attacks in a row.
