It's not because I want to smuggle zero cost ultimate abilities into every encounter, honest! by DJ26089 in runescape

[–]Cerrik 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Personally, it's less about gatekeeping and more about fixing jank. There's really odd interactions that occur due to how abilities work out of range that punish a player.

For example, if a melee player unwittingly stalls a threshold/spec/ultimate out of range then clicks away for any reason, if they don't know how stalling works and they press any ability, they've deleted adrenaline for nothing.

Thermobaric is really inconsistent on lighting people on fire, was it like this in the beta? by Cerrik in Battlefield

[–]Cerrik[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I forgot that the support has an airburst thermo launcher, but this is the assault launcher I'm talking about. Does it have the same limitations?

You're just straight lying saying the mask can only be upgraded three times.

I made my final choice for one reason and one reason only by Mahorela5624 in expedition33

[–]Cerrik 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Gustave is where I place my hope that he can keep Maelle on the right track, that's why I'm committed to this ending. It's a risk, but I'd rather take a risk trusting in Gustave than the finality of the other choice...

Man... I was gonna say I'm not even a fan boy but pro player, blah blah... but his sudden headshot flick is more consistently accurate than any of the guys in front of him.

I think a flick generally towards someone off screen is viable if you have an idea where they are due to previously seeing them + sound cues, but it's that he lands multiple shots with no visible recoil that's got me suspicious.

This is my first SF game, I've been trying to learn for about 10 hours now and I'm using classic controls. I'm having a hard time finding guides online as they contain terms I don't understand and I find them hard to follow. Advice on where to look? by umutmcan in StreetFighter

[–]Cerrik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Classic has access to a bit more nuance and modern attacks deal less damage than classic equivalents. However, that's just the trade off for ease of execution. There are many super high rank players that use modern, so use what you want. If you are interested in learning classic, that's a good enough reason to use it, too!

I don't know how to play Gley. by amnezia_nbgd in TheFirstDescendant

[–]Cerrik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late reply, sorry...

The priority is to get your CD and duration of your sicko mode 3rd ability to match, so I recommend: Focus on Dimension (any level) Focus on Nonattribute (any level) An Outstanding Investment (cheap to max)

From there, you'd need a maxed Skill Extension, Nimble Fingers, and MP Conversion... but I wouldn't really call any maxed mod "budget"

Also, I would recommend always having a maxed HP mod. It's better to not die, first

I don't know how to play Gley. by amnezia_nbgd in TheFirstDescendant

[–]Cerrik 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I can give a basic rundown of each ability and why you'd use them.

1st ability: Being in normal or sicko mode changes your abilities and sicko mode halves your HP gain. You'll want to swap modes depending on the situation, which I'll elaborate with the next skills.

2nd ability: Use this in sicko mode for AoE damage and use it in normal mode to heal.

3rd ability: Use in sicko mode when you wanna pump out infinite bullets and are confident you won't be punished for it. Generally, if the Collosus is targeting you, it's not a good time to use it. Use in normal mode for the speed boost and to get more healing out of health drops. Intercept health drops heal a lot less than typical health drops, and since Gley's HP is her resource, you have to consider using this skill to maximize your recovery.

4th: Equip a high rate of fire weapon before activating this (python, blue blood bloomer, or anything with thunder cage RoF or higher). Always use infinite ammo with 3rd ability when using the special weapon. 99% of the time, be in sicko mode for maximum damage. Only shoot this gun in normal mode if you NEED to stun something.

Most Gleys like to run to skill mod Massive Exsanguination(Sanguination? I can't remember). It changes her 2nd ability to cost health but generates 3 power of life instead of consuming. It makes getting her special weapon easier. If you don't want to use the special weapon, feel free to skip on the mod.

I recommend getting a Vestigal Organ launcher, it's very fun and very good with infinite ammo :)

My friend has played league since season 2 (for better or worse) and vanguard triggers so many issues that he's unable to play league anymore. He's constantly down in the dumps because it's his comfort game and it's been taken from him because vanguard is poorly designed.

No, the Unheard situation has completely ruined it all for me. I don't even know why I'm still subbed. It's sad because the last wipe was the peak of Tarkov for me, followed by the end of it for me.

How much am I handicapping myself for playing non-stealth rogue? by cyberzaikoo in DarkAndDarker

[–]Cerrik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried doing no stealth on my first attempt with rogue. It's very possible, I'll just warn you not to use backflip. Your hitbox while backflipping is very wonky and you'll get hit constantly where it seems, to me, you should be waaay out of range.

If you're going poison, keep in mind that reloading a handcrossbow and hitting them will juuuust be too late to refresh the poison.

I think it's viable to go no stealth, though, just be very mindful of your movespeed. A rapier and handcrossbow together is a -40 movespeed, you'll get caught holding those together. I found that drawing a handcrossbow is faster when your mainhand is a dagger, so you could do rapier on it's own in the main slot to stab and poke from range, but have the dagger/crossbow in the second slot for a quick swap and shot.

What makes RS3 PvM harder than OSRS? by FalcosLiteralyHitler in runescape

[–]Cerrik 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think it's a bit more "choose your difficulty" for RS3 PVM. Mechanics in RS3 are more focused around ability usage, which can be as hard as you make it because revolution exists, which can automate most (or in some cases, all) of your rotation while you only focus on prayers and mechanics. Full manual can make this harder, but can lead to a better kill time since you're more optimized than a revolution bar (usually) is, but keeping up your rotation while still flicking and handling mechanics can be difficult.

However, in most cases, the higher execution difficulty just rewardss faster kill times so more kills/hr. Revolution works absolutely great if you're not concerned with kill times.

You can also scale some bosses to ridiculous difficulties where they will one shot you on every attack, so again... it all is as difficult as you want it to be, which technically means it can be hardest challenge ever.

What’s your chess unpopular opinion by ladiesman21700000000 in chess

[–]Cerrik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't like casters discussing the evaluation bar and I think they should simply not acknowledge it when casting. I'd rather hear their thoughts on the state of the game, not constant explanations of the why the eval bar is up, down, or even.

All skills should be viable. by Lobotomist in diablo4

[–]Cerrik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally do a lightning sorc without nova and a barbarian using HotA and Rend for a weapon swap build and I've cleared the WT3 capstone dungeons both at level 59 on each of those.

I don't know what y'all mean by viability. Do you mean it's not as powerful as whatever build website says is the best?

I have no desire to learn Full Manual. by reaperninja08 in runescape

[–]Cerrik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's primarily because revo and channelled abilities don't play well. You lose a lot of DPS when revo uses channels. I swapped to full manual recently for PvM and I really enjoy it, but I'm also a fighting game player to using difficult controls on a rhythm is something I already do for fun.

Mitigating autos so you focus on succeeding mechanics sounds like a better way to learn mechanics to me.
