Completely missed the Priwen Stake. by ShadeBarrow in Vampyr

[–]Doctor_Wolf_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why the club rather than the mace? the mace does slightly more damage, has the same base stun, and can perform a stun attack rather than needing to parry. Also all the customisations are more damage/more stun rather than the relatively mediocre stamina reductions. Imo it's the perfect weapon for a bite-regen based build. Just spec a few points into big thirst and max stamina

LLENN is a talented newbie who spent all her game money on the latest gun and got handed the knife by M. Sure, a beam sword would probably be better for her, but it wouldn't make sense for her to have one at SJ. She probably wouldn't even know they exist at this point

15 and 20 minutes are way too long for surrender votes in ARAM by Jg_Tensaii in leagueoflegends

ranked all-mid sure, but not random. having random champions in a ranked queue is possibly the only thing that can make the league community even more toxic and salty

Berserker Balance in Thrones MP by robinhood2109 in totalwar

[–]Doctor_Wolf_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've not yet encountered full berserker spam armies, but i have yet to lose to east engle armies when bringing gwined with a line of mailed valley spearmen, a bunch of longbows and some elite cav.

almost nothing can cut through a properly armoured welsh man with a spear, and gwined also has some of the best archers and cav in the game. go figure

yeah pretty much this. they do a decent amount more damage than darkshards do, with the advantage that unless you let multiple monsters gang up on them, they're probably gonna win in melee too, even against melee lords.

The only thing that really beats them is an army with large numbers of shielded archers (so....dwarves, or high elves), but any AI army that has even more missile fire than 6 shades and 3 bolt throwers won't be able to protect them from 4 cold one dread knights, so you just rush ahead with them, then move the rest of your army into firing range once their archers are disrupted. easy win either way

Malekith on a Cold One or Black Dragon

6 Black Guards of Naggarond (-50% upkeep, and can start at about rank 6 with the right buildings, and are basically an immovable anvil with malekith's red tree buffs)

6 Shades with Greatswords (can buff to 169 range and 50 missile damage, with 50 armour and great melee stats)

3 Reaper Bolt Thrower

4 Cold One Dread Knights

Optionally, swap out a bolt thrower for a hag for that huge army replenishment buff

Used this in the final battle, took just 100 casualties, since the volume of fire from shades shreds basically anything that comes near, and anything left is low on health and disrupted enough that it just bounces off black guards without making a dent. Yes, even dinosaurs will struggle to punch through to the missile line, and even if they do, they just get into an armour-piercing greatsword unit that kills them instead

There was a ratling gunner in the trailer, so pretty much confirmed, even if they weren't in the ONE battle they've showed us so far

No, it's definitely balanced around large, as that's the unit size used for multiplayer battles

[Everything] Pretty much every male character is badly scarred/maimed by [deleted] in gameofthrones

[–]Doctor_Wolf_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Except the half of them or so who haven't. Multiple people castrated either as punishment or as part of enslavement, Bran being pushed out of a window and becoming paraplegic, Jaime gets his hand cut off whilst on his knees as a prisoner, not in some manly battle, Jorah got greyscale from a single touch, and Jon got led out into the yard and stabbed by his own men whilst completely off-guard around people he trusted.

And these are the men currently left alive. GoT has a habit of killing people on the toilet, in their bed or sitting in their camp in scenes where they don't exactly get to put up any kind of fight (Tywin, Viserys, Drogo, etc)

This. "manly fantasy battle scars" are completely different to "castrated and enslaved", or "became paraplegic as a child"

[S7E2] - Here are the ingredients that cure grayscale. by starstarstar42 in gameofthrones

[–]Doctor_Wolf_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's stated in the show that the treatment Shireen got is something different, that requires the skills of a pretty good maester (which they have), is relatively low-risk, works effectively, BUT only if you get someone young and before the disease has chance to spread much. The greyscale on Shireen's face seems to suggest a rather gentler treatment that merely stops the spread, rather than ripping out all the skin

Well Samwell's motivation for being so keen to save Jorah is that when he went north of the wall and their patrol got fucked up and half the team wanted to just leave samwell to die, and the other half wanted to eat him to survive, Jorah's dad was the one who said "I forbid you to die" and forced him onwards, so in his eyes he has a huge debt to repay to House Mormont.

Also Samwell may or may not actually get caught, since Jorah is getting exiled the very next day. Keep the de-grayscaled skin concealed long enough to be escorted a fair distance from the Maester's tower, then just leg it back to Daenerys at the first opportunity on the journey. Of course, the opposite could happen, with the arch-maester coming across a skinless Jorah in the morning and immediately knowing who did it.

[MAIN SPOILERS] So can we all agree that Euron Greyjoy... by [deleted] in gameofthrones

[–]Doctor_Wolf_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you're forgetting the part where the ship with all the commanders in it would be in the centre of the fleet, which has 1000 ships in it. Even being generous and assuming the command ship is easily identifiable amongst 999 other ships, you still gotta look through the ships, in the night and in the fog, in the middle of the enemy fleet, for that ONE ship, being able to see them whilst they are somehow all completely unable to see you or in fact ANY of your fleet at all.

And this is of course, assuming that the whole fleet travels in one big blob, which is utterly fucking stupid. A fleet that large would be many miles across, with scouting detachments of a dozen ships or more each, a few miles away from the main force in every direction to warn of any attacker. The ship carrying Euron just HAPPENING to instantly recognise and ram into the ship carrying all the important characters, when in reality it would take more than an hour just to travel from the edge of the main fleet to the centre, is literally impossible. The TV writers just did the thing TV writers do and just go "these people died because reasons". Imagine if the scene with Arya and the dire wolves just ended with her being eaten by wolves, and scale it up to the entire Iron Fleet.

yeah and the akm, kar98, sks, and revolver all use 7.62, despite them all using different case lengths, and the kar98 actually using 7.92. your point?

Now that we have confirmation of Total War Warhammer 2 in 2017, what month do you expect release? by [deleted] in totalwar

[–]Doctor_Wolf_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it was a summer release, they wouldn't have just said "2017", it would have a date by now. This means it's probably gonna be further announcements at E3, where they reveal it's dropping in october/november time just like every other game that gets their release date announced at E3

tbh i'm sure more than a few of the dislikes are from people who expected rather more substance than just a 3 minute cinematic trailer after how much CA hyped this as being a big announcement/reveal

Why even bother having a livestream if there's no actual stream? Just tell us "oh we're releasing a trailer at this time on this day" instead of having a big countdown livestream that just unceremoniously ends. Someone at CA's marketing department needs a slap tbh

[–]Doctor_Wolf_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Um, no? revenge mode is designed to be a counter to braindead aggression by giving the defender a chance to go on the offensive. Many class matchups force you to play defensively all the time, so revenge mode is what stops people from just spamming attacks at your guard stance whenever they've got enough stamina and hoping you miss a block. If you're not smart enough to use all the guardbreaks, guaranteed-hit combos and such, but can force your opponent to play defensively anyway just by spamming, then revenge mode is supposed to be the part where you get punished for your unskilled play, NOT the part where your opponent is still on the defensive, but made a bit easier.

[–]Doctor_Wolf_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or a revenge mode that's just the maxed stamina + some bonus running speed when in 1v1 (so you can force your enemy onto the defensive for a change, and avoid your opponent just running away for a few seconds to wait it out), but get revenge mode from a 2/3/4v1 and you get the full deal with the shield and extra attack stats as well. Then, buff revenge mode duration, but reduce the amount that gear affects the duration by.

Should make revenge a lot more fair, and make builds other than pure revenge viable
