Weapon Focus and Gunner. Penetrating Shot and Marksman later. Penetrating Shot means +30 extra damage per shot (6*5) - it's worth the slower recovery. The reloading is not affected.

amazing someone could still be buying the western freedom nonsense after the last 2 year now usa also have the freedom of not knowing the weather and when natural disaster will hit them the freedom of not receive any disaster relief since fema are shutting down soon

It's interesting that a guy with six bankruptcies to his name is now telling Walmart how to ru(i)n their business.

The real and legitimate criticism of China is what it claims to offer the world around its system of government that you see manifest and discussed in the likes of BRICS stated objectives. Yes we all know BRICS is a talk shop but they have yearly meetings where they reinforce what they claim they believe in Objectives like " a better and fairer world " , " a world where the global south gets its seat at the table " and where " they want to see a redesign of the global financial systems " Its unclear how these objectives will ever be sustainably achieved considering you already have the UN and the BRICS Bank which is no different to the World Bank but it has much less capital But the biggest inconsistency with these BRICS objectives is its most significant funder and influence, China, is a country where people arent allowed basic human rights like freedom of speech, a free media to criticism government or an independent judiciary so citizens can challenge government through courts So how is BRICS ever going to create a better world when you have the likes of China and Russia as founding members, its an obvious political problem if you believe in these BRICS objectives China is a strong and important economy and it has an efficient state but you cant compare how the CCP runs China and denies most basic freedoms that are both sacrosanct, respected and established in any Western country and most Constitutional Democracies Unless of course these basic societal freedoms dont matter to you and then China is great and can be considered an alternative to Democracy and what Democracy means

It is a misunderstanding: it is not a 5% slash lash, but a 5% buff to any melee slash damage

One thing about that - and please, please prove me wrong - but in my tests Baby Boar does not give a slashing lash. As per description it should, but in pratice the bonus is just 5% to damage dealt with slashing weapons.

Necroing this a bit but just wanna say I've been playing this on my Watcher (slightly different as I'm a Nature Godlike instead of Orlan as I imported from poe1 but otherwise the same build) and having a good time with it. The combination of push + entangle is surprisingly useful. I just did the Woedican Temple which is normally a pain in the butt fighting that mass of humanity in there but with the combination of push + entangle I was able to buy myself time to get buffs up and get Eder into a good enough position to start soaking up a bunch of engagements on the enemy. I especially like pushing enemies and then having Xoti hit them with a halt when they try to come back into range or have Serafen knock them down with his shouts. And against enemies where that tactic is less useful sunbeam tends to do a lot of work, or blights, or healing. Spreading Plague also helps quite a bit to enable other effects for the party. This character is also great at protecting the backline. You can sit back there with the Red Hand pushing enemies away that try to target your backline and if the enemy is being really annoying you can just swap to shield and engage them and let them try to beat on you for a bit. You're tanky enough that they won't really be able to take you down. I've had a lot of success just bullying enemies that try to troll my backline. The build is tanky enough to ruin the day of any flankers that try to do that - especially with its push effects. But even if the pushes fail it has fallback options and can tank. Anyways not super far with this yet (level...10ish I'd say?) but it's pretty fun so far! Kudos on a good build. I've done other Druid multiclasses before but never done a Fighter variant

You know, if you're playing roguelike mode then you'll be looking for the final floor for a, uhm, long time.

I started the main quest after finishing the Shivering Isles, so it was a bit awkward. --- It is amazing how much better the faces look like with the mod. Took 3 attempts to figure out that I could rest and heal the knights who were too keen on getting killed.

Yes, because their threats to Taiwan and other nations sovereign territory is good behaviour? Running hidden police stations across the world? Kidnapping other nations citizens? The fact that you and me both can discuss this, mention Tiananmen Square and call Winnie the Poo by his real name without being censured by the government and not be made homeless, speaks volumes. Mango Mussolini and his fruitsalad cohort have some ways to go yet.

The CCP are not our friends though. They very much are enemies to the west, and a threat to us

*chuckle* posted today by j. kenji lopez alt: ... one thing am doing different (other than going with ranch dressing when am in a rush and/or don't have fresh herbs on hand) is that we cook our spatchc0cked bird in a 12" cast iron skillet. directions: put the cast iron pan in an oven and set it to 500F. when the oven reaches temp, take the skillet out and lower the oven temp to 450F. put your spatchc0cked chicken skin side down in the pan and return the pan to the oven. cook for 30 minutes. don't worry, the skin o' your bird will not burn and it won't stick to the pan. the skin will be incredible crispy and brown. after a half hour, remove the bird from the oven and flip the carcass so it is now skin-side up. return to the oven and cook until internal temp in the breast is 145. for a bird o' 'tween 3.9 and 4.25 lbs, that is probable gonna take about ten more minutes o' roasting. after the chicken reaches temp, remove it from the oven and take the bird out of the cast iron pan to rest, 'cause cast iron retains heat like a boss. this method will not work with big chickens. 4.25lbs is just about the limit cause anything bigger is gonna prevent your bird from fitting flat in your skillet. 'cause Gromnir cooked the chicken in a cast iron pan, all that beautiful crystalized chicken goo in the skillet may be turned into a sauce or gravy-- no need to dirty another pan. while the chicken is resting, which takes about ten minutes, make a gravy or sauce in the skillet. regardless, we thought it were amusing that a day after we mentioned the kenji lopez mayo approach for turkey as being great for chicken, he posted a video for roast chicken using same technique. ... am also amused that immediate after mr. lopez shared his immersion blender accident story, he once again failed to unplug the damn blender before cleaning off the excess from the working end o' the device. HA! Good Fun! ps @ShadySands the chips were enjoyable, but am gonna observe how now, multiple hours after having consumed a small quantity o' the little tater snacks, we burped a bit while drinking a coke and near the full force dill and vinegar from the chips came back to us. we would definite purchase again in the future.

funny how puppet and proxy of usa can provoke and posture all they want but if anyone even raise their voice in response they are the aggressive one then when usa coup them it is actually a good thing since now they stop raising a fuss

and this is the result of propaganda since the end of ww2 france are the most vicious of the big 5 while having the best reputation the west is the threat
