    If you’re playing heal mesmer instead of other healers, it’s for one of two reasons.

    1: fun/roleplay, in which case carry on

    2: because it does something actually better than just taking druid, scourge, firebrand, or herald. In Mesmer’s case, that’d likely be its insane mobility and 100% unique ten-man two-way Portal. It’d also be the only alac heal with a reflect skill that doesn’t suck ass to actually use on Matthias (I don’t think any other raid/strike boss cares about the difference between projectile negation and projectile reflection). So yeah, having at least one (ideally two) utility slots open is pretty vital to make heal mesmer not a complete joke / roleplay class. It’ll probably be automatically best in slot at Qadim since groups heavily rely on portals (plural) to maximize boss dps uptime, and will probably replace the heal mechanist + portalremoved virtuoso duo on HTCM. Ignoring the aura trait, having the build be rifle camp is excellent - it means you can have the other set be Mesmer’s excellent utility weapons. Focus for the best add-pull in the game, shield for one of the best channeled blocks, Pistol for turbo CC, Greatsword for the push on things like Rigom or KC’s orbs… Can you manage full Might on boon heal rifle chrono without taking Well of Action, or are you just relying on the rest of the subgroup to contribute some?


  • On the flip side, I’ve been using FX file explorer for this for years with no issues, but my roommate on the latest iPhone (a year ago) encountered a pretty horrific oversight in the default Files app’s way to handle this (and no option to use third party apps).

    Whenever she tried to copy more than 2GB from the network drive to the phone via Files, the phone would completely lock up and freeze (and stop transferring, which I confirmed by looking at read operations on the home server). She had to hard reboot and copy the files over multiple operations instead of just queuing up 50GB of audiobooks once and letting it transfer in the background. It turns out the Files app handles network assets by loading them all into RAM and then writing them to the iPhone’s NAND, and if you try to perform an operation that takes more than the phone’s current available RAM it just does the Apple equivalent of a bluescreen.







  • Their plan for when Fortnite stopped pulling in money was for their Epic Games Store (that they propped up by paying devs lump sums just to not launch their games on Steam) to actually make Steam levels of money because surely exclusives and freebies will make people spend money on their store. Turns out there’s a lot of people that will never spend a dime on EGS, either because they won’t install it or only use it for the free games.

    So all that Fortnite money they used to pay devs to not release their games on Steam ended up being a failed investment, and they’ve had to change their incentives from “we’ll give you a huge lump sum that’s about equal to what you’d have made with a successful Steam launch” to “well we’ll give you a better revenue split if you launch exclusively on our store that guarantees you get 10% of sales volume compared to Steam”. Turns out 60% of 1m sales is better than 80% of 100k sales.
