Okay. 308 00:18:52,852.4118369 --> 00:18:54,832.4118369 I always get, uh, like vi variant. 309 00:18:55,192.4118369 --> 00:18:56,717.4118369 I feel like always gets paid for that, but. 310 00:18:57,622.4118369 --> 00:18:58,582.4118369 Triple shout, man. 311 00:18:58,732.4118369 --> 00:18:59,847.4118369 Always go triple shout. 312 00:18:59,962.4118369 --> 00:19:02,692.4118369 I, I think it's like basically every build is just better with triple shout. 313 00:19:02,692.4118369 --> 00:19:14,512.4118369 Especially, you know, like when you're like in the mid game or something and you get like the bolt chief, or you get at least like one row, like use your shouts, constantly use them smart and uh, they're gonna fix so many of your problems. 314 00:19:14,512.4118369 --> 00:19:18,472.4118369 And, uh, I always walk around like, every good puppet needs to have triple shot. 315 00:19:18,472.4118369 --> 00:19:25,732.4118369 I mean, you know, maybe this is something for the deaths to solve, but like right now, I feel like at least 95, if not 99% of all the. 316 00:19:26,152.4118369 --> 00:19:32,242.4118369 You know, Gigi Bar builds, like they just have triple shouts, man, and I really like the shouts, like, you know, mighty war cry. 317 00:19:32,542.4118369 --> 00:19:33,352.4118369 So that's number one. 318 00:19:33,352.4118369 --> 00:19:34,707.9118369 Probably Okay. 319 00:19:35,242.4118369 --> 00:19:39,82.4118369 two would be focus on fur generation early on. 320 00:19:39,82.4118369 --> 00:19:41,212.4118369 I see like a lot of, especially new players, I. 321 00:19:41,527.4118369 --> 00:19:46,987.4118369 They always ask me like, Rob, how you get the fury? Like, I, I see you play, but I can't get the fury. 322 00:19:47,77.4118369 --> 00:20:01,867.4118369 It was like, uh, for example, like in the recent like whirlwind pet quake built, I got this question so many times, like, how do you even get the fur fury, uh, the resources to even start spinning, right? So I think for newer players, like focusing on something like, uh, fury, on kill on the weapon, or getting some, you know, some basic skills. 323 00:20:01,867.4118369 --> 00:20:07,837.4118369 Now with the new lunging strike, uh, it's basically very important to make the barbarian angry and to, to get some fury. 324 00:20:08,47.4118369 --> 00:20:09,277.4118369 But you can also just get hit. 325 00:20:09,482.4118369 --> 00:20:11,102.4118369 You know, like, you need fury, just get hit. 326 00:20:11,462.4118369 --> 00:20:12,392.4118369 It's a cool mechanic. 327 00:20:12,842.4118369 --> 00:20:13,912.9118369 But, uh, yeah, I, true. 328 00:20:14,252.4118369 --> 00:20:17,612.4118369 I feel like, I feel like early on a lot of people, uh, like struggle with that. 329 00:20:17,612.4118369 --> 00:20:24,542.4118369 So focus on fuel generation because early on this is just where your damage is coming from basically before you have like all the crazy earthquake multipliers. 330 00:20:25,22.4118369 --> 00:20:27,392.4118369 And, um, yeah, I think the third one would be. 331 00:20:27,772.4118369 --> 00:20:35,902.4118369 Uh, like look into mobility or look into ways of dealing damage while you move, for example, leaving an earthquake or using whirlwind or something. 332 00:20:36,172.4118369 --> 00:20:39,772.4118369 'cause then you can basically make use of all this synergy where you have your shouts. 333 00:20:39,772.4118369 --> 00:20:48,382.4118369 They give you unstoppable, they give you berser, they give you a ton of movements, speed with rally while you're gonna be running really fast because you don't really have like a teleport or something unless you're playing London strike. 334 00:20:48,592.4118369 --> 00:20:51,892.4118369 But, uh, you really wanna be fast and deal the damage while you're moving. 335 00:20:51,892.4118369 --> 00:20:54,142.4118369 That's how you're efficient And focus on DPS basically. 336 00:20:55,142.9118369 --> 00:20:56,162.9118369 Okay, that sounds good. 337 00:20:56,522.9118369 --> 00:20:56,732.9118369 Yeah. 338 00:20:56,732.9118369 --> 00:21:03,152.9118369 The seminar builds were very, very on fury generation if you didn't know what you were doing. 339 00:21:03,152.9118369 --> 00:21:09,242.9118369 So Yeah, great tip from competing at the highest levels, which we just talked about. 340 00:21:09,242.9118369 --> 00:21:11,372.9118369 A OZ to the gauntlet pushes. 341 00:21:11,372.9118369 --> 00:21:14,942.9118369 I remember your very first run of the gauntlet, you topped the leaderboards. 342 00:21:14,942.9118369 --> 00:21:15,512.9118369 I saw that. 343 00:21:16,267.4118369 --> 00:21:19,872.4118369 it was actually crazy, like just a little on that, like when we, uh, started a OZ. 344 00:21:20,437.4118369 --> 00:21:28,777.4118369 I remember like people were always like preparing and a lot of content creators were doing the build, like a OZ Ready, you know, this and that and this class and this build and stuff. 345 00:21:29,47.4118369 --> 00:21:36,277.4118369 And I remember when it launched, like, uh, we, I was playing like any immortal version, like back in the days with the melted out of Slic, actually like a very. 346 00:21:36,882.4118369 --> 00:21:46,422.4118369 Let's say, um, beginner, obviously it was not optimized like if you compare to the last place, but it was a very beginner friendly build because we were just basically in au and we were just using Hoda and a bunch of fury. 347 00:21:46,812.4118369 --> 00:21:55,632.4118369 And uh, I remember, I think we went like all the way to like a OZ 19 on the first days while most other builds and classes were like struggling clearing nine or something. 348 00:21:55,932.4118369 --> 00:21:57,72.4118369 It was actually crazy. 349 00:21:57,402.4118369 --> 00:22:01,2.4118369 But, uh, Bob was, uh, was really cool back in the days and I really enjoyed it. 350 00:22:01,2.4118369 --> 00:22:02,112.4118369 And uh, and I think, um. 351 00:22:02,767.4118369 --> 00:22:07,627.4118369 There was also so many people like joining the Bob Nation because Bob was so amazing in a OZ back in the day. 352 00:22:07,627.4118369 --> 00:22:08,212.4118369 It was cool. 353 00:22:08,497.9118369 --> 00:22:09,607.9118369 it really was. 354 00:22:10,27.9118369 --> 00:22:17,677.9118369 It was The Immortal bar Makes sense because fighting the three hell born that spawned were, they were so strong. 355 00:22:17,802.4118369 --> 00:22:18,682.4118369 Ultimate challenge, man. 356 00:22:19,192.9118369 --> 00:22:19,722.4118369 So I. 357 00:22:19,972.9118369 --> 00:22:20,932.9118369 this start in that fight. 358 00:22:20,932.9118369 --> 00:22:25,942.4118369 You had this adrenaline rush right before it Yeah, but that was so much better than the current pit bosses. 359 00:22:25,942.4118369 --> 00:22:30,52.4118369 Like having like one boss there being like a damaged sponge and you basically can't die. 360 00:22:30,52.4118369 --> 00:22:32,692.4118369 And he can't die and no one dies and the fight takes 10 minutes. 361 00:22:32,842.4118369 --> 00:22:33,562.4118369 It's just stupid. 362 00:22:33,562.4118369 --> 00:22:33,682.4118369 Man. 363 00:22:33,682.4118369 --> 00:22:34,282.4118369 This is boring. 364 00:22:34,582.4118369 --> 00:22:38,332.4118369 Those blood seekers, man, they were, Oh, they were crazy dude. 365 00:22:38,437.9118369 --> 00:22:39,517.9118369 They were insane. 366 00:22:39,847.9118369 --> 00:22:41,407.9118369 Yeah, they were really crazy. 367 00:22:41,767.9118369 --> 00:22:49,987.4118369 That season with A OZI was actually playing just a regular Hoda Barb, not whirlwind, and that, that was me as well in the start. 368 00:22:49,987.4118369 --> 00:22:54,787.4118369 I think everybody, like nobody even knew about this whirlwind hold up, up before it got popular, like in China or something. 369 00:22:55,402.9118369 --> 00:22:57,202.9118369 Yeah, I think that's where, where, where it came from. 370 00:22:57,202.9118369 --> 00:23:06,142.9118369 But I was actually like, I was like I, I don't know how I feel about it, because you would have to like wait for your cool downs to come up, and then you have to go back in and fight, and you wait for your cool downs to go back in and fight, because I wasn't running the Immortal bar. 371 00:23:06,802.9118369 --> 00:23:10,252.9118369 When Whirlwind Hammer of the Ancients came out, it changed everything. 372 00:23:11,182.9118369 --> 00:23:11,587.4118369 I It. 373 00:23:11,632.9118369 --> 00:23:15,967.4118369 this is the most fun I have ever And there were also so many tricks to it. 374 00:23:15,967.4118369 --> 00:23:23,107.4118369 You know, like how you do this rotation, like how smooth can you make it with like four smooth animation, cancel and man, people were cooking on this. 375 00:23:23,107.4118369 --> 00:23:24,157.4118369 It was great times. 376 00:23:24,187.9118369 --> 00:23:28,537.4118369 it was so there was a huge incentive to also cook and you know, develop the meta. 377 00:23:29,377.9118369 --> 00:23:29,767.9118369 Yeah. 378 00:23:29,797.4118369 --> 00:23:37,57.4118369 There was like something new, basically like every day, man, it's like when the vessel faded came out, it was like this new stuff, new stuff, new stuff every day or new meta. 379 00:23:37,777.9118369 --> 00:23:38,77.9118369 Yeah. 380 00:23:38,242.4118369 --> 00:23:40,732.4118369 I miss that man, that, that's always the most fun to me. 381 00:23:40,732.4118369 --> 00:23:45,142.4118369 Like testing all this and seeing all the craziness that's going on associated with this. 382 00:23:45,142.4118369 --> 00:23:54,982.4118369 And, uh, you know, also the collective community, you know, coming together and working on this build because not you, not me, not any single one person, you know, can come up with this like end game build. 383 00:23:54,982.4118369 --> 00:23:55,642.4118369 It's always like a. 384 00:23:55,912.4118369 --> 00:24:04,792.4118369 You know, a community like effort, collaboration from different regions, from China, from, from, from Asia, from from Europe, from U and the United States, from everywhere. 385 00:24:04,912.4118369 --> 00:24:14,272.4118369 People just coming together and like, you know, keep improving those builds, keep cooking on them, and it, it's just cool like to see this like community effort and then to beat like a OZ 25 finally. 386 00:24:14,272.4118369 --> 00:24:14,842.4118369 It was so cool. 387 00:24:15,787.9118369 --> 00:24:19,222.9118369 No, I

incredibly welcoming. 389 00:24:24,562.9118369 --> 00:24:31,822.9118369 They really like sharing ideas and building builds, and you always have the people that are like, oh, well, you just are using this person's build. 390 00:24:31,822.9118369 --> 00:24:35,482.9118369 But a lot of the bills are very similar, and that's the whole point. 391 00:24:35,482.9118369 --> 00:24:42,412.9118369 Like you play a build, you learn it, you see how people are playing it, and then you make a change that you like to do or share all of your findings. 392 00:24:42,412.9118369 --> 00:24:43,132.9118369 It's

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
