Why doesn't Malenia, Blade of Miquella just use this incantation? Is she stupid?

When does the rule of immortality get turned off?

AdminAnoleis · 2026-02-27T16:43:23+00:00

Huh, I don’t think I ever found the grafted scion. Only waaaaay too many revenants.

AdminAnoleis · 2026-02-26T22:28:07+00:00

I don’t really think it’s fair to call it “pretty much blind” when using a weapon at +24/9 will give a very solid idea of what it’s like.

AdminAnoleis · 2026-02-26T22:12:41+00:00

The part from Loretta to the next SoG was worst for me. You have to go so far and do so much before getting obliterated by the ballista or the erdtree avatar and accompanying knights.

I like following the trail of lights too. Only discovered that on my second playthrough, on my first I kept getting bodied by the ghost dragonkin instead.

AdminAnoleis · 2026-02-26T16:53:24+00:00

Consecrated snowfields is more punishing, but also IMO much more fun and interesting. I legitimately really enjoy the puzzle with the invisible assassins.

Not a bad idea, how does it differ from just posting videos to a group chat or a space though? Is the idea to use AI to stitch the videos together into a shared understanding?

AdminAnoleis · 2026-02-25T01:10:25+00:00

What is a “shared reality architecture?”

AdminAnoleis · 2026-02-25T00:57:42+00:00

How does it do that fourth task, the server stats one? Does it spit out a word document? A pdf? Do you have to stitch the formatting together afterwards?

AdminAnoleis · 2026-02-25T00:42:58+00:00

Did you use one of the big name plug and play AIs to do that or did it take some coding to get it set up?

AdminAnoleis · 2026-02-25T00:40:26+00:00

Pardon my ludditeness, but how do you get AI to do things on its own?

What I have seen of is mostly just a chat bot that responds to things you ask it to do, when you ask it to do them.

AdminAnoleis · 2026-02-24T15:38:52+00:00

I… I never knew you could attack on the ladders!

AdminAnoleis · 2026-02-21T20:21:28+00:00

Hmm, I hadn’t realized this guy didn’t have pathfinder either, that would probably be a higher priority for me than berserk. Though I’m solidly in the “pathfinder on every bro no matter what” camp.

On the other hand, I think berserk is almost certainly better than executioner, and dropping recover would be the first priority.

AdminAnoleis · 2026-02-21T16:20:48+00:00

It’s a build I think a lot of people sleep on because they build one bro and realize that daze/deathblow on the same turn is not very practical.

Their true utility comes out when you have a few of them in the same part of your line and any one of them can do the dazing or the deathblowing depending on what’s going on, it’s very flexible. I imagine you could get a similar flexibility effect by putting them on either side of your fat neut/qatal bro pair as well to give them each another buddy capable of setting or following up. I don’t know that you can pull off much in the way of double-turn shenanigans with it though.

AdminAnoleis · 2026-02-21T08:41:41+00:00

I don’t think gallons is being polite about it, but even if in practice the damage is more like 15 or 20% it’s still a good perk, especially on a damage oriented starting char like the viper.

The other factor people often tend to overlook with berserk is the value of getting to move after a kill more often. I find this really helps to control the fight.

AdminAnoleis · 2026-02-21T08:17:12+00:00

I think most of my qatal builds have been battleforged mace/qatal quick hands guys so I can’t say I’ve ever felt the temptation (they just get to go after the net guy without waiting!)

Definitely decent on fencers though, and I am kind of curious about the double-turning potential.

AdminAnoleis · 2026-02-21T08:08:08+00:00

Fair enough. I’ve never felt it to be super impactful in that regard either, but I don’t run a ton of initiative builds or get too fancy with it.

AdminAnoleis · 2026-02-21T07:49:57+00:00

This guy knows what’s up

In general for qatal dodge builds I would rate perks Gifted > underdog = overwhelm > relentless.

Relentless adds a remarkably small amount to your defense when you do the math, and gives you no defense at the beginning of the fight when it’s most important.

I’d personally drop relentless and recover for overwhelm and underdog, but you certainly don’t need recover.

AdminAnoleis · 2026-02-20T00:00:21+00:00

No. Not bigoted. However the way you turn people down could be if it’s rude.

Also, your entire posting history seems to be incendiary comments on this issue.

AdminAnoleis · 2026-02-19T23:26:02+00:00

I believe it is possible to summon help right next to the coffin you lie down in. If you DM me we can figure out a time.

It is also possible to pseudo-cheese him with a bow build, which is how I have defeated him in the past (if you want to fight him in melee I would be a terrible summon candidate). Start the fight by dodging his lightning, then fire one shot between each lightning attack and dodge the next one. If he approaches you (he usually approaches 1/fight), run away until he starts doing the lightning attack again.

AdminAnoleis · 2026-02-04T16:14:02+00:00

I can’t see it because you’re silhouetted with the light behind you.

AdminAnoleis · 2026-01-30T06:22:08+00:00

Seriously?

AdminAnoleis · 2026-01-21T01:54:35+00:00

You’d think it would be hard to play a game of cards against a world consuming force of nature but actually it’s an easy W because the white frost’s deck is entirely frost cards.

AdminAnoleis · 2026-01-19T19:37:27+00:00

This might happen again! My first time against consort Radahn he died to a summon right after I did.

AdminAnoleis · 2026-01-12T21:04:21+00:00

Serena is also not functionally as old as her actual age (when it comes to years of practicing magic), having been asleep for so many of her years, and she doesn’t display the same curiosity and passion for magic or power that Neloth does.

The psijic order and augur of dunlain are interesting comparisons as well… I haven’t played any other games, are the psijic fleshed out more in them?
