    I do believe that conclusion calls for a make-up recipe!

    Buttery Blueberry Streusel Muffins.
    > find it here <


    yield: 14 MUFFINS prep time: 15 MINUTES total time: 45 MINUTES

    Ingredients:

    STREUSEL
    • 1/2 cup (100g) packed dark or light brown sugar
    • 1/2 cup (67g) pecans or walnuts, chopped
    • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    MUFFINS
    • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
    • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
    • 1/4 cup (50g) packed light or dark brown sugar
    • 2 large eggs, room temperature preferred
    • 1/2 cup (120g) yogurt1
    • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    • 1 and 3/4 cups (220g) all-purpose flour (measured correctly)
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 1/4 cup (60ml) milk (any kind)
    • 1 and 1/2 cups (250g) fresh or frozen blueberries (do not thaw if using frozen)
    Directions:
    1. Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Spray two 12-count muffin pans with nonstick spray or line with cupcake liners (this recipe makes 14 muffins, so there will be two batches). Set aside.
    2. Make the streusel: In a small bowl, toss together the brown sugar, nuts, and cinnamon. Set aside.
    3. Make the muffins: In a medium bowl using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter on high speed until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute. Add the granulated and brown sugars and beat on high until creamed, about 2 full minutes. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. Add the eggs, yogurt, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed for 1 minute, then turn up to high speed until the mixture is combined and uniform in texture. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.
    4. In a large bowl, toss together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and slowly mix with a whisk. Add the milk, gently whisking until combined and little lumps remain. Fold in the blueberries with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula. Don't worry if the blueberries bleed a little - my batter was purple in some spots; it looks pretty when baked.
    5. Layer in 1 Tablespoon of batter, then top with a little streusel, then more batter until the muffin tins or liners are full all the way up to the top. You want them overflowing, as shown in the photo above. Top with more streusel. Bake in batches for 5 minutes at 425°F (218°C) then keeping the muffins in the oven, lower the oven temperature to 350°F (177°C) and bake for 18-21 more minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The total times these muffins take in the oven is about 23-26 minutes. Allow to briefly cool before serving. Muffins stay soft, fresh, and moist at room temperature for 1 week.
    6. Make ahead tip: For longer storage, freeze muffins for up to 3 months. Allow to thaw overnight in the refrigerator and heat up in the microwave if desired.

    Dark knights feel like paper to heal. I feel pity for whatever healer is stuck healing them.

    Easiest to heal is the Warrior.

    All healers are equally able to heal each tank. The only reason one might seem harder to heal is because of the tank stances each has. Usually warriors are "harder" because their tank stance doesn't decrease their incoming damage but increases their HP pool, and incoming heals in general.

    I like helping people with their Job ideas, it's fun to help them visuallize and create the job they'd like to play most. Plus I make my own too, I'll post them eventually.

Meanwhile, we are clearing this content and no one is dying, why come to a complete stop between trash pulls just so you can have a little buff. Things I hate about each tank:
    PLD - Stone Skin Junkies.
    WAR - Running in circles trying to attack mobs
    DRK - Living Dead when not needed

    Just generalizations of each class, obviously skill > class. But those are my pet peeves. But a tank that keeps agro like a fat kid with a cookie... love em'!
    The reason a tank casts stoneskin on himself isn't that he's afraid of dying, but rather to give you, the healer, some extra time to DPS and apply your DoTs at the start of the fight before you have to start curing.

    As a healer, that stoneskin can absolutely be the difference between being able to Bane combo at the start of the fight or just cure bombing, and the loss of a bane combo from the healer will eat way more than the 3 secs to cast stoneskin.

    Of course if the time lost from a tank casting stoneskin on himself annoys you so much perhaps instead of the tank needing to stop and cast it himself you could just cast it on him at the end of the last fight and use sprint to catch up.

    If a drk use his CD wisely he is as resistant as à pld and has à great self healing ability, a blessing to heal.
    War are cool because they are a fat piece of meat with a lot of HP to soak in the damage XD

    Dark Knights usually seem the most challenging for me. I'm not sure why it is, but their HP just seems to go down so fast.

    Might be because its attracted many people who havent tank much before, so i also find in DF the DRK tend to be a little more squishy than the other two tanks.

    However, when you get someone who has put a lot of time and effort into learning DRK, they are lols easy to heal .

    Parry is laughable as a means of reliable mitigation. For those that don't know how tanking works, the game looks for a critical hit, then a block, then a parry. So simply getting one of the previous damages means parry is just skipped in a sense. It's the least desired secondary stat because of how the damage calculation works. As a tank you are better off with others, stacking that stat is just not efficient in the least bit. You also can't block magic.

    DRK has really good HP mitigation right up there with Warrior. A lot of bad DF tanks probably are first-time tanks, and they are likely dank knights. Yet still have no clue how to use their skills like the Souleater combo or Dark Arts+Abyssal Drain to gain back HP. Then if you are really unlucky they hadn't leveled up any GLD or MRD to get the simple cooldowns like bloodbath and the one that really helps healers, Convo. But of course if they are dank, they aren't using cooldowns in the first place so it probably doesn't matter anyway. Learning to tank and handling the tanking job that requires using more buttons to be efficient or play gud is just asking for it.
