How do I make beam/laser???

Optical lens.

Incidentally, I'm finding myself saddened that laser wand depreciates badly at the doctorate level. While it does insta-hit, the fact that it lacks a damage bonus really hurts it when most of the enemies have >500 hp. It feels like you really need a couple of damage boosters (I'm not sure if you can safely replace homing+dig. I guess I should try it...) to keep the wand relevant as a damage source. Alchemist stone + illusion dust or seashell's been my way to go, so far. Kinda' thinking about stacking one DoT on the wand and the other on the spell... conceptually, that'd be the highest raw damage combo you could get, I think, with the enchant boost kicking 'em up.

There's also a notable amount of weirdness with beam+diamond (piercing -- the beam stops damaging after the first critter hit), which is a shame. That plus homing and dig would theoretically nail, like, all the things.

You want light show, though, go beam/butterfly/illusion dust (and probably dig). It's kinda' hilarious. Basically hits the entire screen if you've got A/B ranked materials, though it does piss all damage. Swap the beam for mermaid shell for some legit danmaku action, though do make sure to disable the chaos butterfly visual effect (just above the wands, if you missed it) before firing away. This is especially true for the beam.

Currently hitting a bit of a brick wall with doctorate level castle and master level desert. The latter's mostly 'cause of the sandstorm (which'll be pretty trivial to robe-around, honestly, I just haven't gotten around to it), but doctorate castle is kinda' miserable. Freaking books, bombs everywhere, 700 hp ghosts that move faster... s'pretty awful.

E: Actually, if you want to see something both very interesting and incredibly random... go homing/butterfly/dig/diamond. You'll occasionally get to see a wand shot do >1k damage 2-500 damage hits aren't exactly rare in the castle... a more open level would be pretty devastating.
E2: Utterly freaking annihilates some of the sandworm forms, actually

... I do medium well, which is like well done for people who don't like char. Less cooked than that, I just don't like the taste

At least with beef. Chicken, cook that bugger 'till the outer edge could be used as charcoal for the next meal's cookin'. If I don't have to gnaw, I don't really want it.

My favor meat preparation is "jerky", though. Jerky is the best of things.

Option 1: Play ARAM, give no fucks. Play lesser map modes once reacquainted with game.

Option 2: Play ARAM, give no fucks. Play lesser map modes once reacquainted with game.

Option 3: Play ARAM, give no ...

...

Option 10: Smurf account.

... I have to admit, that is an artistic medium I had not considered before. Quite impressive. Deserves jokes about sheep, but I find myself lacking material at the moment. Maybe need some wool.

... yeah, this is pretty great.

Currently rocking an AoE poison/fire enchant spell, dotting everything to death. Also m'fookin' homing laser wand, hell yeah. Really wish I could find a higher rank burrow thingy, though

E: Also, the music is pretty good so far, t'me.

... I am now terribly amused. I go, "Who the hell is Quinn?" Next free champ rotation? Quinn.

I'd call it serendipity, but given the response to the question it might be just a surprise

Mm... and we do kinda' have a problem with segueing off in the innuendo direction, down here. It helps a bit when someone conscientious calls folks on it when it starts getting excessive. B12's not really the place for that sort of thing (though many of the regular posters seem somewhat inclined towards it >_>), and it's ran some people off/kept some folks who'd rather not deal with it from contributing. Not so much a "stop having fun" thing as "please have fun in the appropriately labeled cubicles" sorta' thing, y'know?

I have the uneasy feeling that the first thing I'll be doing will be replicating a certain giant golden monument of mine from a certain Terraria server. Possibly as a ship.

A new game, a new opportunity! Do it in gold and stained glass instead of just gold. Intergalactic cathedral cockship. The envy of all species possessing phallic genitalia.
