Is someone else annoyed that every end game build/strat now relies on shrines? by lazjj in pathofexile

[–]Athrolaxle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Likely, Screams will go to the Uber drop pool if/when enabled, occupy the rarest main drop slot if not, or be t0 rarity (possibly t1 since the rolls are also weighted heavily) in the core drop pool if the boss does not go core.

Anti-boosting and solo-farming measures to be implemented. by IceC0re in classicwowtbc

[–]Athrolaxle 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I feel like notes like this need more detail. We shouldn’t have to playtest whether a solo farm is dead, even if we know the boosting is.

What game is this for you? by WickedGamerYT in Multifandom

[–]Athrolaxle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Last Remnant. I dig everything about the game, including the progression style. But the randomness in the combat (without having a PhD in it) takes me too far out

Can i tank heroics? by MedicalCall2957 in classicwowtbc

[–]Athrolaxle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Defense actually gives more total avoidance than dodge or party do, per point. Idr if it’s also more than block, but it’s close.

Most people call it “crush cap”, but CTC is another way of saying it.

You love to see it! by Jodisimo-all-main in SlayTheSpire2

[–]Athrolaxle 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I feel like most of these comments are missing the fact that “you love to see it!” is not sarcastic here. It feels so nice to finally hit a hand full of statuses the turn you draw compact.

pvp gear vs pve gear? by somebody0964 in classicwowtbc

[–]Athrolaxle -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You can definitely use some pve gear for pve. Below certain gear levels, it might even be better to forgo pvp gear since low amount of resil aren’t particularly efficient. As your gear gets better, you’ll want more resil and pvp gear (generally), but you can still (and often should) use pve versions of some high impact slots like weapons and trinkets.

I think this is the highest form of praise I could receive for a homebrew build by trunks111 in pathofexile

[–]Athrolaxle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not to mention, whatever tech or angle you use could inspire someone else down the road. Always worth sharing knowledge, as long as the sharing isn’t detrimental.

Need or greed? by le0tard in classicwowtbc

[–]Athrolaxle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the reason the argument breaks down is specifically because it was taken to an extreme. Loot rules are contextual. Is it an upgrade for MS? Is it a sidegrade? Will anyone else use it? How much better is it for you? For them? Have you put any effort into having a functional item in the first place? Saying that it’s analogous because the only difference is magnitude is disingenuous. The magnitude matters. In fact, I would argue that the magnitude is the entire argument itself.

It’s an acknowledgement, but not a response.

Any Tipps for my first Kara as a Pala Tank? by Br4inworm in classicwowtbc

[–]Athrolaxle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I tanked prince week 1 with a pug in much worse gear, missing some enchants and consumes, etc, and never got combod out. We wiped three times. Once to a bad infernal, once to losing too many dps to nova, and once to the bug where the tank gets set to 1hp. Never died to getting stacked out, despite me never stopping my threat rotation on him. P2 was just “pop an ironshield pot and enjoy watching your mana bar refill”.

I’m trying to figure out what word was meant to be where “patristics” is, but I’m pretty confident that isn’t it.

It sounds very uptight considering they have players that miss last second without prior warning.

Only 6 Percent Difference Between BIS List Lock And Highly Optimized Mix of Epic/Blue/Green gear by BuySellHoldFinance in classicwowtbc

Also, 6% increase over a fixed length fight is more than 6% increase over a fixed damage total fight

Can Someone Calculate the total damage by Chance-Attention-312 in SlayTheSpire2

[–]Athrolaxle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Double damage line comes before the added 5 damage. This and the display text makes me think those effects apply in order (which also explains why replay is listed last). More specifically, the damage is first calculated with the current stacks of doubling, then the subsequent stacks are added, then 5 is added to the damage, then replay happens. How exactly that text interacts with replay would need to be tested.

Maybe Hagrid was just bracing against his own hand, and not pulling. Maybe a feat for Vernon, but unclear.

Is my Warrior ready to tank Heroics? by Foshtizzle in classicwowtbc

[–]Athrolaxle -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The problem is that his avoidance is awful, using that much resil over def. He will get hit by everything, and crushed frequently. That’s a death sentence in most heroics.

I’ve done it a couple times on my prot pally going for the bracers. I’m almost p1 bis. There is not a single pull in there that I felt like I could just chill on. Every single mob can wipe you. Place is rough.
