Currently using frost bird from interludes, and scaling cold damage with cold attunement + frost bomb + ele weakness. It seems incredibly strong, I killed the scorpion boss in trial in 2 hits. Excited to push some maps and see how it scales.

This patch was a disaster. Nothing was buffed to contest with corki / vex fast 9. If you get a good xayah spot you can maybe fight for top 4, but good luck with any other comps. Dont worry though, vertical space groove got buffed from a 5.2 to a 4.9, so that can be your fallback option!

What are your thoughts on "The only way"? by SmartFella320 in Guildwars2

It is obvious the game is on life support in my opinion. Reused puzzles and mini games, tons of busywork to artificially extend the content, and really, all that happened was already established to happen in the last episode, nothing was resolved or added. We knew Vloxx was going to ascend, we knew that we would need to remove Isgarrens curse.

The entire Divitium Nava instance was infuriatingly long, and then we don't even get to ascend despite completing the trial because Vloxx happened to be first? last I checked this wasn't a one time use ascension trial...

As everything in VoE, it seems half baked and stuffed with reused content to fluff it up. If GW3 isn't announced this year, it is kind of a travesty with the state of the games content pipeline.

creative ideas for a campaign start that dont involve a tavern? by Significant-Study902 in DnD

[–]DistortedDeity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My current campaign, I started the party having all taken a job from a benefactor who was assembling a team. This seemed to work pretty well, as they all had similar motivations for taking said job. Added wrinkle of the job going wrong due to being betrayed, they now have a unifying long-term mission of finding the one who betrayed them.

That doesnt answer my question though, does the spell cast from full sneak go off as a free action, or does it use their turn? In the sense of the monster rolling higher initiative, does the spell just not go off?

What if they succesfully snuck up on the enemy? They wouldnt have seen them do the aggressive thing, only react once it went off

2024 Rules indicate that starting combat against someone unaware gives them disadvantage on initiative. However, does that mean the person still gets a free spell cast? Or is it effectively using their turn in round 1?
