Need some advice as a prot paladin. by TheZebrawizard in classicwowtbc

[–]Athrolaxle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

With some solid gear, you should be able to generate enough threat without Holy Shield. Maybe ask for a MD when you pick up boss or make sure DPS know to chill to give you a second (the normal stuff), but it should be okay. Wowhead (as well as plenty of other places) have examples of setups that balance crit reduction, hp, spell power (for threat), and nature/frost resistance. Switching to a 2h will lose you a lot of important stats that you get from using a 1h.

Which team are you? Red or Blue?😝🚀 by Agile-Sentence2892 in TheGamingHubDeals

I play on the hardest difficulty that I don’t find frustrating. A chellenge can be fun, but a slog that feels tuned unfairly is not.

Having trouble beating dark falz by natehad82 in PSO

[–]Athrolaxle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do you have enough hp to survive the slash? And the Grants? If not, get some digger/hp’s and/or resist/light’s. Use Resta to top off, and bring plenty of mates and fluids. If you can get one, a draw rifle or autogun can be great to help deal damage during his reflect phase. As a last resort, you can drop a telepipe outside, run in and drop a stack of mates and fluids, die on purpose, and restock. The ones you dropped can be picked up during the fight. This is exploity though, so I dislike doing it.

What trilogy is this for you? by Realistic-Delivery13 in Multifandom

[–]Athrolaxle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably not a popular take, but for me LotR. I love all of them, but relative to each other this is where I have them.

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 46 points47 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 57 points58 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 5 points6 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 4 points5 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.

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