The Superior Rune of the Monk is a powerful enchantment that can be applied to armor in the popular role-playing game, Guild Wars 2. This rune is highly sought after by players who enjoy playing support roles, as it enhances their healing abilities and provides additional beneficial effects. When equipped with this rune, the player's healing power is increased by a significant amount. This means that any skills or abilities that involve healing will be more effective, allowing the player to keep their allies alive and well in the heat of battle. This is essential in group scenarios, such as dungeons or raids, where the team relies on the healer to keep them alive. Additionally, the Superior Rune of the Monk provides a passive effect called "Superior Healing.
Bingo has found the most feared weapon to dog kind. The Magic Xylophone. Bandit is trying to run away from the scene, to which Bluey reacts very quickly and gets a hold of him. "Bingo, do a ding!" To this point in the episode, we don't know what the xylophone does, but if Bandit is running away like a feral child, it must be something very peculiar. I also must say that they must have played this game before, as everyone knows what's going to happen.
Although this is a just a game, Bandit really does seem in character and the kids look as if they are just playing and laughing along to what Bandit is going to do next. If you don t know what the Long Dog gag is, it s basically an item a stuffed blue long dog plushie hidden in most episodes very discreetly by the Ludo team.
Additionally, the Superior Rune of the Monk provides a passive effect called "Superior Healing." This effect triggers when the player successfully heals an ally below 25% health, granting them a temporary boon called "Regeneration." Regeneration improves the healing received by the ally, further boosting the player's support capabilities.
The Magic Xylophone: A dog's most feared weapon
Welcome to my first Bluey dissects analysis! Today we will be doing The Magic Xylophone! Strap yourselves in, this is a really long dissection!
Ahh yes. The Bluey theme song is always there to brighten up your day. And this is very appropriate as this is my first dissect! Let's get into it.
I wanna say some stuff about the Heeler house. I'm no Brissie, but you can easily tell that its an Australian establishment. Any Aussie will tell you that.
We can see St Brigid's Church in the background, which could be indicating that the Heelers live somewhere around Redhill in suburban Brisbane.
We can also see a transmitter type tower, probably from Mount Cootha. This further reinforces that the Heelers live somewhere around Redhill/Paddington/Indooroopilly area. I'll get into the details and such in a later dissection.
Anyway, let's get into the actual episode.
In this scene, we can tell that the house is really organised. No toys on the ground or rubbish littered everywhere, considering that Bandit and Chilli have a four and six-year-old. That kiwi style carpet is something I would add to my bucket list if I could find where to get it from.
We can also see some bunting hungover in the corner. Could be leftovers from a party of some sort. Or it could be how doggies live in Brisbane.
Let's carry on shall we
Ok, so I have a lot to talk about this scene. The background is cluttered with items ready to be identified.
What is it with this family and bunting. If I had bunting in my house it would have been peeling off within three days.
So this is the first Long Dog of the show and the season (obviously). If you don't know what the Long Dog gag is, it's basically an item (a stuffed blue long dog plushie) hidden in most episodes very discreetly by the Ludo team. A nice little easter egg if I do say so myself.
So this is basically the map of Australia (I'm surprised they remembered Tasmania!). And it looks like the family has drawn a border like around Queensland, showing the love and passion they have for their state. A very nice and emotional touch.
You don't qualify for being an Australian if you didn't have the following things lying around your house:
I don't know why Chilli and Bandit would keep toys such as this, but it could be just to be put on the shelf as a showcase item, or it may be used in the roleplay games the girls and the parents get up to.
Now back to the original scene. They are obviously playing a roleplaying game, Bandit being the player of the instrument, and Bluey being the piano. Bandit announces he is about to play the Rondo Alla Turca, a classic piece by Mozart. In my opinion, it's very overly used in pop culture and TV, but if Bluey is using it, I'm all good with it. The camera is set up in a way that it looks like Bandit is talking directly to the target audience. and breaking the fourth wall. But we know that's incorrect because in the scene before this, we see Bingo watching them with a smile that can melt any heart.
Bluey trying to run away is something that brings back memories of my childhood and playing with my own father. Bluey is obviously very ticklish and tries to escape Bandits fast paws. But before you know it.
Bandit must have prior experience in this kind of situations. How the hell do you grab a kid wiggling their arms and legs and you just throw em back to your lap? Kudos.
"Taking turns can be difficult." Very true. This episode really has a big emphasis on taking turns as we will see later on in the episode. The big thing here is that this is taught through gameplay and not through breaking the fourth wall, like other TV shows tend to do.
"You can be the bum bongos!" Bandit is obviously trying to make both her girls happy, by incorporating some humour into it. Bingo is obviously enjoying her bum being patted by her father (is that weird?).
"Ooo Island rhythms!" This is the first time we see Chilli in the show and season, and she does make quite an appearance. The family is enjoying quite the time together through play, which every child should have.
Aaand yes! The first title card for the show has been unveiled. "This episode of Bluey is called The Magic Xylophone!" Interesting that the xylophone hasn't even been introduced yet, but the title card has been shown, alluding to what will happen later on in the episode.
I told you Bandit was one tough guy. Looks like the kids have a little toy basket thingy in which they store toys they play with. I used to have the same thing when I was a kid. Is it an Australian thing I don't know.
Bingo has found the most feared weapon to dog kind. The Magic Xylophone. Bandit is trying to run away from the scene, to which Bluey reacts very quickly and gets a hold of him. "Bingo, do a ding!" To this point in the episode, we don't know what the xylophone does, but if Bandit is running away like a feral child, it must be something very peculiar. I also must say that they must have played this game before, as everyone knows what's going to happen.
Sooo the xylophone freezes anyone in its boundary area. The thing I don't understand is why doesn't Bluey get frozen too. I get it's a game, but are the girls allowed to bend the rules?
Poor Bandit. He has to stick his finger (paw?) up his nose. Bluey and Bingo seem very pleased with the results. Bandit is obviously not enjoying his time, but he really is dedicating his time with his kids to help them play around.
"Awww. It's just like how we first met!" It's pretty funny to see that Bandit is goofy even outside of play. Chilli is obviously trying to make the kids laugh while trying to give us a hint on how Bandit and Chilli are without the kids. Bluey and Bingo loved Chilli's comment. Who wouldn't?
Bingo has unfrozen Bandit and that means trouble. Bandit has really built up some temper and really wants to get his revenge back from the girls. Although this is a just a game, Bandit really does seem in character and the kids look as if they are just playing and laughing along to what Bandit is going to do next.
Aaand Bluey and Bingo have got Bandit frozen again. I feel sorry for him to this part. Funny how they dress him up using colours which can be generalised for girls. Kinda shows how the girls are influenced by such generalisations and how making fun of Bandit as a male is to make him dress up and use such colours on him. The Reindeer antlers look like just some random thing the girls must have found lying around the house and stuck it on Bandit's head. The fact that they have to use chairs to reach up to his face is just straight out funny and shows the difference in height between the girls and Bandit.
Bluey and Bingo have unfrozen Bandit again, with Bluey again ignoring Bingo's pleas to give her a turn. Bingo still saddens, still plays on. We can also see a sock put onto Bandit's tail, but I wonder where they use socks as we haven't seen them wear any in the show. Bandit is obviously very triggered in sense for the game and chases the girls outside into the front yard. Many things to be analysed here.
The family car is obviously a Jeep. Complete with a roof rack and the spare tyre hanging from the back of the vehicle. Looks like they only have one car, meaning if Bandit and Chilli both have to go to work at the same time, one would take the car and the other will catch public transport more than likely.
An old-style letterbox in the front yard could indicate how old the house is. Or Bandit and Chilli just wanted an antique touch to it. Also, note that its house number two they reside in. Only if we knew what street it is.
This looks like a birdbath (if birds even exist in the Blueyverse). Though it's obviously not used anymore and has some sort of plant growing out of it, probably Chilli's doing.
The dog bone design hanging from underneath the letterbox is also very interesting to see. Does that mean that the occupants of the Blueyverse know that they are dogs and live up to doggie stereotypes?
Hmmmmmmmmm. A pawprint on the footpath (pawpath?). Could be one of the Heelers stepping into wet cement when the footpath was laid out, as to mark their territory.
Anyway, I think I need to explain what's happening in these few scenes. Bluey and Bingo have unfrozen Bandit and he chases the girls to the front yard. Bluey freezes Bandit again in the yard and Bingo asks whether she could unfreeze her dad using the xylophone. Bluey thinks about it for a few seconds, but chances the subject instantly, telling Bingo to go inside the house to get some teddies. Bingo grunts in frustration but follows Bluey inside anyway. Chloe's mum walks past the Heeler house with her child in a stroller, takes one look at Bandit and sprints away. Bluey and Bingo come back and place the plushies on Bandit, followed by Chilli walking out of the house and telling the kids to keep playing with Bandit, but unfreeze him for toilet breaks.
Now back to the original scene. They are obviously playing a roleplaying game, Bandit being the player of the instrument, and Bluey being the piano. Bandit announces he is about to play the Rondo Alla Turca, a classic piece by Mozart. In my opinion, it's very overly used in pop culture and TV, but if Bluey is using it, I'm all good with it. The camera is set up in a way that it looks like Bandit is talking directly to the target audience. and breaking the fourth wall. But we know that's incorrect because in the scene before this, we see Bingo watching them with a smile that can melt any heart.
Furthermore, this rune offers a set bonus for wearing multiple pieces of armor that have it equipped. The set bonus is called "Monk's Focus" and provides various benefits, depending on the number of armor pieces with the rune. For example, wearing two pieces grants the player an increased revive speed, while wearing six pieces enhances the player's outgoing heals. The Superior Rune of the Monk is a versatile and valuable enchantment in Guild Wars 2, particularly for players who enjoy playing the role of a dedicated healer. Its healing power increase, passive healing effect, and set bonus make it an essential part of any support build. Obtaining this rune may require some effort and resources, but the benefits it provides make it well worth the investment for players who want to excel in the role of a monk or healer..
Reviews for "The Superior Rune of the Monm: Strategies and Tactics for Guild Wars 2 Fractals"
1. John - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with the "Superior rune of the monm". The product description made it sound like it was going to be a game-changer, but it turned out to be a huge letdown. The rune didn't provide any noticeable benefits and didn't improve my gameplay at all. I feel like I wasted my money on this overhyped item.
2. Sarah - 1 star - I have to say I was extremely dissatisfied with the "Superior rune of the monm". Not only did it fail to deliver on its promises of enhancing my character's abilities, but it also caused my game to lag and freeze frequently. This rune was a complete waste of my time and money, and I would not recommend it to anyone.
3. Alex - 2 stars - I had high hopes for the "Superior rune of the monm" but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The alleged boost it was supposed to provide was barely noticeable, and it certainly didn't justify the hefty price tag. I was hoping for a significant improvement in my character's performance, but I was left feeling underwhelmed and regretful of my purchase.
4. Emily - 1 star - I regret purchasing the "Superior rune of the monm". It was expensive and offered no substantial benefits to my gameplay. I expected it to provide a unique advantage, but it was just like any other ordinary rune. In my opinion, the marketing for this product is misleading, and I would advise others to avoid wasting their money on it.
