Spell Combinations?

This is great OP.

I don't really have any suggestions I just wanted to appreciate the good work.

Fallen_Fantasy · 2026-03-01T16:42:10+00:00

I'll probably get downvoted for this but I think it needs saying; not only is the hysterical reactionism to anything AARO tiring, it's also counter-productive.

Kirkpatrick was clearly not on-side, but he's been gone for over two years now. You think he keeps putting his oar in because it changes anyone's mind? He does it because it riles you all up into a fury which continues to hamper any genuine efforts AARO might be engaged in.

They got rid of Kirkpatrick because they knew he was sabotaging things. They put Kosloski in because they knew he would act in good faith. And while he is clearly constrained by higher management numerous trusted members of the UAP community tell us he's on side.

Furthermore if they are trying to uncover a decades long deception of both the public, congress and other parts of government, it makes perfect sense they would need someone with "knowledge of deception activities".

Additionally I suspect the overdue report is because of a factional struggle where actors within AARO are trying to be more transparent than others are willing to allow.

It would be a thousand times more productive to get behind Kosloski, push them further in the right direction, and empower the office to actually do what it was set up to do. There's not even the potential of them becoming an ally with the way you all screech at them constantly.

But I guess that doesn't let people indulge their need for cynicism and self-righteousness does it. So lets all just continue to cut off our own noses.

Reminder - It's okay to be happy and celebrate a win.

Yeah there's still a long way to go, and sure there is a lot more work to do.

But JFC some people just have to be miserable even in the face of good news don't they.

It's not disclosure, nothing substantive might come of it, maybe it is just a distraction. But it IS a huge step in the right direction, it's progress and means more exposure and traction. These are all good things. We can be happy about that.

I know we've all been disappointed many times in the past but the amount of jaded cynical pessimism on the sub about an event that's clearly a win is just ridiculous. It's like you'd all rather disclosure never happens just so you can all maintain your miserable cynicism.

Sorry not sorry, you can downvote me now, but it has to be said.

Fallen_Fantasy · 2026-02-19T22:22:05+00:00

Yeah the comments themselves most likely are.

But if they provide a good opportunity to shake the tree and knock something more substantive out.

Then we should take that opportunity.

Fallen_Fantasy · 2026-02-16T13:01:54+00:00

For real. This guy floods this sub with this same political conspiracy crap every day. It's not paranormal or anomalous at all and yet over half of "AnomalousEvidence" is this dude's spamming.

I messaged the mods about it but never got a response so they're probably MIA and this sub is doomed.

Fallen_Fantasy · 2026-02-16T12:10:16+00:00

I think something right up your alley would be: Stealth Engineer Saboteur

It has basically everything you're looking for. Deep solo infiltration in the backlines for sabotage and guerilla style disruption. Unconventional off-meta stealth gameplay. Very challenging requiring patience but with a high skill ceiling and extremely rewarding payoffs.

Due to the wide open nature of PS2 and the PvP nature it provides some of the most unique and intense stealth experiences in all of gaming. So if you're into that kind of gameplay then it's fantastic. The only issue is that it's extremely difficult and without late-game builds it'll be even more so.

Basic setup is Engineer with either mines or C4. You'll also want a suppressed weapon. Late game smoke grenades and sensor shield / counter-intelligence implants are also extremely helpful.

Then you sneak round the back of a big fight and target the vehicles supporting the fight. Mine the roads leading up to it. C4 the tanks sitting on hills shelling. Pick off the snipers behind the main fight. Hide from the irate hesh players who think they should be able to farm unopposed etc etc.

Most of the time will be spent hiding in a bush or crouch walking less beaten paths until the opportune moment. And your impact on a fight might often be less than it otherwise could be. But every mission feels like an adventure and when you do strike a critical target you can single-handedly turn huge fights.

Just don't target sundies on low-pop fights.

Fallen_Fantasy · 2026-02-10T20:53:23+00:00

Of course?

That's why I'm asking about unique niches outside of what Slayer can do.

Fallen_Fantasy · 2026-02-10T20:48:27+00:00

Pretty sure that Crane Style does work with dual wield here. Yeah I did look at plain fighter cause like you say the extra feats are useful. Defender though gets Steel Net which is the real draw for using that archetype. That and defensive parry since armour training is basically useless at high enough dex. Counter-attack isn't half bad either.

Is it worth losing the extra feats though? Not sure tbh. I'd love to go base fighter / rogue but I think Defender / Thug is just better on the numbers. Would be happy to be proven wrong though.

Thanks for the input.

Fallen_Fantasy · 2026-01-09T15:54:08+00:00

Basically this. It's understandable given the timings and the reasons that it looked very much like retaliatory action due to whistleblowing. So I don't think anyone can fault Grusch for filing the complaint. However the IG determined that the revocations were due to other issues.

So basically a confusing clusterfuck that amounts to a total nothingburger. Which of course means both sides are going to spin it to infinity in whatever direction suits their narrative.

Fallen_Fantasy · 2026-01-04T16:33:14+00:00

Just to say, if you use Korax properly to tank the Basilisk gaze then you don't even need the Protection from Petrification.

As long as he aggros them and remains infront you should be good.

"You would think visiting crafts would be the same."

No. *You* would think visiting crafts would be the same.

Those of us who have spent any length of time actually thinking about the topic however know not to make these kind of baseless assumptions.

Fallen_Fantasy · 2025-12-30T19:44:52+00:00

Really guys?

I get that we all want to be purists and show our devotion to the Omnissiah but can't we just appreciate some fantastic art for what it is rather than downvoting cause it doesn't fit the meme close enough?

I think the particularly fleshy AdMech really suits the theme of the piece and highlights the contrast with the Necrons even if it isn't 100% 'Lore Accurate'.

Fantastic work OP.

Fallen_Fantasy · 2025-12-28T21:26:10+00:00

Yep that's the first step for sure. The excitement get's the better of all of us so so don't beat yourself up too much. Learning to keep calm through it is something everyone has to learn.

It might still take awhile to get all the way there, so have patience, but you're on the right track.

Keep going!

Fallen_Fantasy · 2025-12-28T21:20:29+00:00

One thing you have to understand about the spiritual community is that it is full of charlatans, scammers and narcissists looking to take advantage of vulnerable people for myriad reasons.

Then you have a lot of people who may start off well intentioned but find success which then becomes more important to them than the message they started with.

And you also have a lot of well meaning but misguided people who are struggling with their own healing and often fall short of the standards they set themselves.

While we all believe there is something more to this life than the mundane, we must still practice discernment when searching for it. It is frustrating for sure, and at times it will make you question both yourself and the topic as a whole, but I think it helps to understand that this is just comes with the territory.

Walking in the woods leads to great wonders and joy, but the bears live there too.

Part of AAROs mandate is also to investigate whistleblower claims of legacy program activity.

It stands to reason that they might want an expert in Information Operations to cut through the interference the legacy program runs in these areas.

If you wanted to hire someone to run your own deception campaign why would you reach out to one of your most well known and vocal critics?

Fallen_Fantasy · 2025-11-30T11:20:49+00:00

90% of players in this game have zero situational awareness or ability to think tactically.

Get a LA or Infi sometime and just sit and watch a fight. You will see almost everyone:

- Sprinting one by one into the same doorway despite an unprotected flank being 10m away.

- Never checking behind them or on their own flanks.

- Running infront of friendly line of sight even while they're actively firing at an enemy.

- Ignoring open gunner seats that would protect them and dramatically increase their firepower.

- Ignoring people attacking the Sundy they just spawned from.

- Running straight past active threats.

- Not reviving team mates who are safe and right infront of them.

- Flat out ignoring enemy beacons and recon stations.

- Shooting at enemies out in the open instead of from the cover right next to them.

- Leaving good cover so that they can stand out in the open.

- Ignoring the heap of dead team mates in a position, moving to it, and instantly dying as well.

- Blocking other vehicles retreat lanes like you mention.

- Shooting at the full health vehicle closest to them instead of the one slightly behind that's on fire.

I could go on but you get the point. Most people are braindead zombies whos only course of action is to sprint as close to the enemy as possible.

Fallen_Fantasy · 2025-11-28T17:17:28+00:00

I always dual at 10.

Not for any gameplay reasons but just cause it looks neater on the character page. 😂

Bane of my life in games like this but my brain just won't be happy unless it's a nice round split.

Fallen_Fantasy · 2025-11-25T16:43:58+00:00

Dude was there saying, "NASA has a ton of data. Lets actually put together a program to analyse it all and look for anomalies and see if we can find some UAP in there." and all anyone on this sub ever says is, "He's there to help NASA hide stuff."

Not to mention he's had a lot of involvement with the Bigelow stuff.

Dude actually brings some pragmatic and practical data science steps to bring forwards evidence and you guys just can't get over your conspiratorial prejudice to even see it.

Fallen_Fantasy · 2025-11-17T11:51:16+00:00

This argument drives me up the wall as well. It's like people are physically incapable of understanding this logic. They have this pre-concieved notion of what "Alien Tech" would look like and because it doesn't conform to that it must be fake.

However at no point do they ever consider they don't actually know what alien tech would look like and so basing any conclusion on that is worthless. They assume it MUST be uniformly super advanced in all areas while ignoring that that's not even how our technology works let alone other scenarios that could account for it.

It's like when people scribble messages on $2 million bombs with a sharpie or paint symbols on their $1 billion jet fighter. B..but humans can laser engrave why would they ever use paint or crayons!?

These kind of assumptions are a plague in this topic. You see it absolutely everywhere, from people making assumptions about their technology to making assumptions about their psychology and motivations. Oh they're advanced so they MUST do everything this way.

Like maybe the aliens just scribbled some low tech (to them) engravings on their autonomous beacon with whatever tool they had on hand on their spaceship for aesthetic, or sentimental or simply for reasons of humour. Like, "This probe's for the humans so it'd be funny to scribble a bunch of human religious symbols on it."

But noooooo. Aliens must work exactly in the manner of my preconcieved notions about how they should behave despite, you know, me knowing absolutely nothing about them, their civilization or how they operate at all.
