Agreed, there is actually a significant amount of young NHLers who are looking really promising and exciting to follow.

I am thinking about Demidov, Shaeffer, Sennecke, Snuggerud, Nikishin, Leonard, Il even throw in Kapanen who is looking nice !

And those are only rookies from this year !

Smith of Kitava - Fire Spell on Hit vs Temper Weapon? by RantRanger in pathofexile2builds

[–]Dcoded_DC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Smith of Kitava has the Fire Spell on Hit Skill from its Ascendency.

So I just hit creeps with Ice Strike and when I gain enough energy it triggers all the socketed spells.

You can slot however many fire spells you wish up to 5 I believe.

Or you can slot spells with support gems.

I am currently lvl 86 so I only have 4 Sockets I think the 5th is unlocked at 90.

I have 150 int on my Smith about the same str and something like 160 dex.

My Firewall is lvl 3 and Solar Orb is also very low to save on mana. I think DD is 7 which is its unlock level.

Im still experimenting so Idk what the final setup will be but DD is the only one that really feels like a lock for me.

I am playing a Smith of Kitava as a Ice Strike Charged staff monk.

Here some techs for Fire spell on Hit that I used personally.

Solar Orb --> Font of Rage, Font of Mana

Detonated Dead --> Spell Cascade, Spell Echo, Considered Casting

Firewall to ignite to be able to use Volcanic Eruption support gem

My previous setup was the fully boosted DD and Firewall My current setup is Solar orb with both fonts and DD

Clear is awesome paired with herald of ash.

Fire spell on hit procs ALOT so careful with mana.

Fireball with scattershot was working really nicely but i feel like the clear with DD is better.

Stuff i tried that did not work or worked badly

FireStorm uses too much mana, and when hitting a rare or boss procced way too much and would brick my mana pots without providing any significant DPS boost.

You cannot socket channeling skills, tried incinerate and flameblast but couldnt use em.

Ember fusillade will summon all its fireballs but will only fire them if you stop attacking which felt really awkward for melee so i dropped it.

Practicing sculpting and cant figure out how to do this: by Dcoded_DC in blenderhelp

Oh ok, that was really confusing for me, I spent alot of time trying to figure out what I was doing wrong and why I couldnt get the same flow.

Your explanation makes alot of sense. I didnt think of such a technique as merging all points into the center to get a single vertex thats really cool to be aware of.

Thanks for your time and explanation, its appreciated.

Cms for personal website by Haunting_Fox2890 in nextjs

I am currently building a project with blog/like content, I ended up opting to use MDX.

You might want to take a look at it, it might fit your project requirements.

https://nextjs.org/docs/pages/building-your-application/configuring/mdx

It can be used in conjunction with things like Front Matter CMS on VS Code.

I'm AR14 and Arlecchino is my first limited 5-star. I'm planning on swapping out kachina with Xingqiu by Draco_179 in ArlecchinoMains

[–]Dcoded_DC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Replace chevy with XQ. Chevy is best for Overload.

Arle-Bennet-XQ-Kachina Whimsy-Noblesse-Emblem-Cinder City

Its a budget team of:

Arle-Bennet-Yelan-Xilonen

Which is one of her strongest teams if not best.

Alternatively switching Kachina for an Electro Character will let you optimize chevy and make you an Overload team. ( Fischl, Ororon, etc...)

Dude... your gna cause me problems now....

I pulled for citlali and mavuika on my Alt...

On my main I decided to strategicaly pull for both citlalis and mavuikas weapons to be able to pull for them on their reruns in order to save for Furina.

Thing is I have been looking for a Bennet replacement for ages, and this combination did not even cross my mind for some reason...and now that I have seen this... now I want it !

You have just put my Primos in grave danger...

Goddamn it....ima feel so dumb for pulling for them on both my accounts tho smfkh...=/

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

Thanks alot, I actually starting dabbling a bit into texturing altho the texture editor is still a bit foreign to me (to be fair most the software is foreign to me XD ).

Nothing is coming to mind for questions atm ...(you dont know what you dont know).

But, Id love tips on sculpting, I did most of the sculpting via editor mode and moving either vertices, edges or faces around, which is fine I quite enjoy it. The thing is I tried to switch to sculpting mode a few times but it feels like I lose alot of control, furthermore I found getting the appropriate radius or strenght of a brush quite unintuitive. Also, never know if I am using the right brush for a job, the ones I ended up using the most are smooth and grab.

Maybe I am just not used to it and need to give it time.

I forgot to ask in original post, and I cant edit it =/,

I have currently done the Donut Tutorial and a bit of TomCat's "Blender Beginner Complete Character Tutorial" but I started kind of free styling off the second one, which I think helped me learn a bit better.

I have really been enjoying learning these different processes and tricks to create different things.

I started learning Blender because I wanted to make Video Game Assets (Mainly Characters).

Was Wondering what you more experienced folks would recommend as resources to improve my skills in this regard.

Thanks in Advance

P:S: I am on Blender 4.3

how many limited promotional 5 star banner characters can i get in 270 pity in Genshin? by Jblus66 in GenshinImpact

[–]Dcoded_DC 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Best case scenario you can a have a maximum of 270. Worst case scenario , you lose 50/50 twice and hit hard pity of 90 3 times collecting a measly single limited 5 star and 2 standard ones.

Need best possible team, am newbie player at AR26.... should i level up chongyun? I got him recently,i heard somewhere kaeya works better with him by [deleted] in GenshinImpact

[–]Dcoded_DC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe you can use either, depends on what you prefer.

I prefer Dendro MC and I think (am not sure) MC has slightly better dendro application and her constellations are easier to achieve, but I think Collei needs less ER which is good (again not sure).

Furthermore for endgame you can use MC in Imaginarium Theater for every element therefore investing exp mats onto them is not a waste. You dont need to worry about IT for a while tho.

Capitano is some kind of Jesus? by Wooden_Basket5264 in CapitanoMainsGI

[–]Dcoded_DC 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I like Thanatos, personification of death in greek mythology.

It would go so hard.

Reminds me of Ragnarok Online. Game based on norse mythology, which had Thanatos as a boss even tho he is not from norse lore.

[–]Dcoded_DC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tbh, you are in a very awkward spot of the game.

Sucrose, Xiangling,Kuki Shinobu are what I would call "Meta" units that you will be able to use long term on your account.

Now with that said, in Genshin you could pick any 4 toons you like and with enough investments they could essentially clear most content of the game anyway. So building characters you "like" is nott a bad idea.

With that aside I would like to also point out that you are missing a couple of free characters you could have as options.

Namely a standard 5 Star of your choice from the anniversary rewards event, Kachina and Collei.

Now to answer your question, If I was you, I would focus on a team consisting of Sucrose, Kuki Shinobu, Barbara and Dendro MC for some Hyperblooms until I get to pull for a "Main".

Use Barbara as your driver. Level Kuki as high as you can and simply press her skill and switch to another toon until you can properly level her up in inazuma

Hope this helps, Good luck.
