I wasn't even talking about LLMs.
Stuff like this:
YouTube Video Placeholder
A human wrote the software specifically to create those graphics, in real time. The human did not draw it. But the software is human made for that purpose.
Is that not art?

I've resumed by Lost binge after taking a year off. There is no way this should would have made it in 2025. You can't take 40 episodes before you start revealing some secrets of your mystery. We will see how far I get this time.

Ever seen demo videos of purely software generated 3D scenes?
Is that not art? Printing can be art. Is running something through a copier art?
If so then yes. But it isn't. Therefore no.

For me turning 57 was surreal.
Long, long ago I calculated that I would be 56 when the year 2000 rolled around. I had anticipated it for decades. Then I hit 57. I realized I had no idea of what came next.
I still don't. Its OK now.

Totally legitimate 5hr EP-ing that's why.

Bare minimum totally legit settings. Doesn't matter when you're five levels deep in inception.

Me and AI had an in-depth philosophical conversation

Martel believes otherwise and it appears un"proven" to a SimonSes aaaaacktuualllly level
Is he not agreeing that's how it works right here?
It's just a curiosity of mine, because I've still heard of LSes whipping out GEO/Indi Haste for stuff like Bastok Dyna D Wave 2 slow aura boss, and things like it. A slow aura, etc is going to overwrite and prevent you from using the regular haste slot. Which often means that you aren't just eating slow, but you're no longer capping magic haste.
What using other haste sources is doing here is letting you recap magic haste even without the normal haste buff slot. You're still eating the slow penalty, but at least you're not slowed and at uncapped magic haste. I wasn't agreeing with it, actually. But... I am now. lol.
I went to retest, and I've come to the conclusion that I messed up my last test.
My previous test used bolster geo-haste and slow II(non sabo) to compare haste and slow effects. Problem is, I hadn't actually calculated or tested just how potent that slow II was... I'd, apparently, just assumed that Bolstered geo-haste would be more than enough to counter it if it worked that way. And since the recast still increased, that led me to believe that magic haste and slow were not additive to the same term.
In my retest just now, I used slow I with no enfeeble potency+ gear. And... it did fully counter the slow. Exact same recast with Haste+Geo-Haste, and with slow I+Bolster Geo-haste. So haste and slow are behaving in an additive manner.
My prior test didn't list what gear I cast slow II in, but... If I cast it in full potency+ with capped dMND.. it would have been 61.7% slow... vs bolster geo-haste's 81.8% haste. That would have left me at 20.1% magic haste. So... no ***the recast changed in the original test. I wasn't magic haste capped at all anymore.
TLDR: I screwed up my previous test. Magic haste and magic slow do appear to be additive. And slow can be negated by sufficient magic haste.

White damage would naturally be higher as /war. Fencer build and war sub is slightly higher crit rate and attack (with trait and Aspis) and between the two melee sets you have 7% TA, 34% DA (including sub) on all on your Axe MH as /WAR vs nearly no multiattacks from your main hand as /nin and a lot of very weak swings with an offhand Kraken Club. Your effective TP is also 400 difference of 2000 with kraken club vs 2400 single wielding.
Seems right to me?

Yep it seems to be around 3% ahead of Naegling Savage if you have aria and 3.6% ahead without aria.
|
|
 |

Keep in mind that lower Expiacion is only for uncapped attack, where Savage is boosted by unique attack on Naegling. With capped attack on both, Savage and Expiacion are about even.
Yep. Though I wonder how Flametongue factors in (for those who went that route). It's noticeably stronger than Naegling for SB when you're so far capped that you can't make use of Naegling's attack bonus. I haven't tested it yet, but Flametongue/SB likely pulls ahead of Expiacion in terms of pure WS damage in capped situations.

Until they start dropping gear with MA-30 or something on it, yeah. Even if you were /dnc running haste samba so gear cap, haste II and /dnc samba you're still looking at 70ish MA, which is still beyond what you'd reasonably have available as mnk(kkk pup actually might be able to pull that off lol)

Thank you both. So to reiterate, unless you have capped magic haste, it's not possible to cap delay as a practical matter with Martial Arts gear. Is that accurate?

From my memory, you can absorb beyond 3000, you just don't benefit from it beyond the max. Same applies to monsters; ghosts aggro you and their first action is aspir, they obviously have full mp but you still lose mp from their aspir. The difference is you'll see in the log the exact amount you absorb tp for, whether you get it or not. With drain/aspir it only appears to show the amount you gain back and refill your own HP/mp.

Yes, I was referring to just WS damage, not DPS with those numbers.
My point was that most people are already aware that Expiacion can beat out Savage Blade spam despite the lower WS damage, due to the increase in WS frequency from mythic AM3. *Similarly*, Imperator can also beat out other options for overall damage despite the weaker WS if you can consistently 3–step darkness.
Keep in mind that lower Expiacion is only for uncapped attack, where Savage is boosted by unique attack on Naegling. With capped attack on both, Savage and Expiacion are about even.
