Luke plays a perma-stun build. Not sure what element or skills he has.

Since your gems are 35, can I assume that the rift bosses that are causing 
problems are at 36+? If that’s the case, then you just outright need better 
gear or a different build. I can’t clear rift bosses at 40 because I don’t have 
a Furnace.

If you want a solo build and you’re lacking in single target dps, then there 
are two things that you can do which will help a lot. Firstly, level up a 
Mirinae and shove that in as your third gem. Secondly, get 2 Bul Kathos rings.
You don’t really need the damage reduction from running the unity follower 
thing. Monks are tough enough without it. You use 1 RRoG and 1 BK ring. Give 
your follower 1 BK. Their effect (drain life) tics at 25m on a T6 Ghom. You can 
guess how nicely that will ramp up against rift bosses. Rings have diminishing 
returns – they’re like gravity spells in FF, they do %HP damage.

Ask Paas what sort of CDR you need. I can tell you that for the Raekor barb, 
you sort the CDR that you want for your build and worry about the damage after 
that.

im using taeguk with gogons swift.

both are level 35.

haven't tried a rift with new build yet. just been farming better rrog's.

rings are nothing special, I use it for the cdr. that's why I need a better 
rrog. getting that balance just right with dmg and cdr is going to be a mission.

ultimately what im going for is to be in permanent lighting epiphany and perma 
serenity. then use stun rune. therefore I can go into a fight , and stun 
everyone around me then the team can just pick them off one at a time. I 
haven't seen anyone attempt this build yet.

That’s the major problem with barbs as well. I can get to a rift boss with 8 or 
9 minutes remaining, but not kill him.

What level rift are you running? Also what rings and gems (checking the 
character link takes too long with my dodgy vpn here).

My beat-em-up idea was actually inspired by a little known GBA game featuring 
Tiny Toons characters. The game is forgettable but the concept is great. It's a 
standard beat-em-up at it's core, but with one fundamental difference: Assist 
characters *lol*
You select a partner from a list of available characters. Each character has a 
special ability that allows you to extend combos or deal with multiple enemies. 
I want to expand on that in a creative way.
My games will feature ninjas, unsurprisingly :P Chibi female ninjas, to be

Awesome news on programming bro :] It's a pretty rewarding field if you stick

Have you done any form of looping yet? Or arrays? They're probably some of the 
trickier initial concepts if you're starting out.

An example of a simple but effective exercise would be to try and write a 
function that takes an input and checks whether it's a palindrome, i.e whether 
it reads the same forward of backwards, i.e. bob or level. Sometimes just 
writing down instructions (pseudocode) as you mentioned is helpful in starting 
out with some form of answer.

The hard part is functional programming because we don't tend to procedurally,

the real world it's a breeze to handle and understand because we do everything 
asynchronously.

The cool thing about Javascript is that you can use it to learn functional and
