![]() As more and more people turn to bicycles for exercise and as an alternative means of commuting, I expect more friction to arise. Unfortunately, not all encounters end so benignly. ![]() As for myself, I was too shocked by the verbal abuse that I didn't have enough time to come up with a witty repartee, or even a friendly middle-finger salute. Fortunately, my friend elected not to bite and just waved him off as Mr. It comes with the territory of being a bike-shop owner.Īpparently, my exhausted riding companion had held up the motorist behind him, who was probably in a rush to make the weekend sale. Not as much as I used to-back in the day when my saddle time was more than my drive time-but I still put in a fair amount of miles every week. Of course, the flip side to the story is that he very well knows I also ride my bike. ![]() So upon the request of the Chief to write about the things I hate the most about our bicycle-riding brethren, I immediately said "yes" without yet considering the backlash such a litany of angst would release. I just want to finish the damn drive without getting into a fender-bender that will eat up even more time. I have long since given up trying to set a personal record for the fastest drive to work, and I no longer feel the need to always be first in line to the tollgate or to merge before the lane dividers come up. ![]() I spend at least two hours a day in my car to get to and from work, trying to preserve my fuel, my sanity and my ever-dwindling supply of counterfeit power cords as I try to Waze my way through our cruel streets. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() Ring of Royal Grandeur is required to make the two sets work together.Captain Crimson's Trimmings give more Cooldown Reduction, toughness and provide extra damage.Krysbin's Sentence is a staple in every Necromancer build, adding either 100% when the enemy is slowed or 300% damage when stunned (activated by Bone Armor Dislocation).Funerary Pick gives us a 200% bonus multiplier with Siphon Blood Power Shift and another 300% or 600% multiplicative bonus against 1-3 targets.Bonds of C'Lena give another 100% damage increase and allow Army of the Dead to deal 50% extra damage to a single target.Fate's Vow is the core Army of the Dead item, giving a 250% additive damage bonus to that skill and enabling the Unconventional Warfare rune for all setups, improving single target damage.Jesseth Arms gives you a massive 400% damage bonus that synergizes well with the Command Skeletons you're already using.Skeletal Mage s don't work for this set bonus. Theoretically this can be boosted to 31,500% with Command Golem, although that's impractical. 7 come from Command Skeletons and 10 from Revive. The Bones of Rathma set adds a total of 29,750% damage bonus to Army of the Dead when you have 17 minions active.The core guide describes the solo push variant but you can find all of the variants further below. This role was further enhanced by the Season 27 update that reworked Funerary Pick, which consolidated the many different variants into pretty straightforward, similar playstyles around Siphon Blood. On the other hand it rewards you with massive damage and works as a formidable Rift Guardian Killer (RGK). This build is relatively slow, extremely Cooldown-hungry and has little toughness, all of which makes it difficult to play. Instead of the 120 seconds cooldown this ability usually has, you are able to cast it once every few seconds to keep up a near continuous stream of damage. The build revolves around summoning a bunch of minions that reset your Army of the Dead cooldown very quickly through the Bones of Rathma (2 ) Bonus, which you use to mow down enemies. ![]() While the Bones of Rathma set gave the name to the famous 'Rat Runs' (and the ' Rat Necro') that have been dominating the XP META almost entirely since the introduction of the class in Season 11, it was reworked for Army of the Dead in Season 23. ![]() ![]() ![]() In summary, unless you pay for the premium version, your chance to victory in battle is minimal. ![]() But in others, the simulation is just a joke (acceleration and deceleration rates, damage over time caused by fire and flooding, damage control teams among others). Now regarding the gameplay itself, some items have been modeled on a very realistic manner, like main battery reload times, turn ratios, rudder shift ratio, traverse ratios among other things. Shooting to an enemy ship at point blank and all the shells of your salvo miss the target due to "dispersion", or a vast majority of HE shells impacting your ship causing fires (5 shells landing on your ship would cause 3 fires), or ships firing at you from 1.5 kms that you would not detect even in an absence of a smoke screen that could explain that level of "concealment" are the most recurrent bugs. Before it was more fun but with the last updates, the game experience has deteriorated and the app constantly bugs. Currently it has evolved to a "pay to win" basis. I have been playng this game for a while now. Before was fun, but now is a "pay to win" ![]() |
