After that my uncle swung by Walmart to send some money overseas (to his wife I think) and we came back home. I made some coffee, grind size 6, double filters and five pours. The water drained white quickly when with the two filters and still had a touch of acrid bitterness that I'm going to say is from the roast and not anything from the beans. Otherwise still balanced and smooth but boy do I need to get lighter roasts. The rest of the day afterwards was playing Valor, maybe 5 or 6 hours. The first two and a half hours was dying on nearly-maxed characters: a 7/11 and an 8/11. Boy was that annoying! But I think I hit some stability after crafting a higher-tiered staff for my Wizard character and melting the godlands monsters down into plenty of pots. (Not to mention that I had been saving up some stat potions earlier.) This was probably the fastest I've ever maxed a character and probably the most fun barring that Armored orb Mystic or that Elimination bow Huntress simply because melting godlands monsters is so satisfying. But it also helped carry me through event bosses and a few dungeons and raids. The faster you can kill the longer you survive. Also having a good trigger finger for the Nexus key helps. Which in turn is a very teeny tiny traumatic response from getting embarrassingly popped by low-level minions more times that I care to admit (3-4).
