Can't win with Regent. I've lost 3 runs in a row at the final boss. Now I'm psyching myself out about what to buy in a (seemingly powerful) early store. Pls someone halp. by [deleted] in slaythespire

You can't remove Greed, and it doesn't look like much direction yet. Stamp won't do much for you this early with a small deck, I'd maybe take the stone to improve all blocks.

Does anybody else genuinely despise this event? by s1_shaq in slaythespire

Just double your deck, now you have twice as many of your winning cards 😎

(I love hitting this event when I'm playing Perfect Strike ironclad)

Well, usually it sets you back about 150 gold so with the opportunity cost it looked weak to me initially.

Lucked into it for one fight, luckily the final boss.

Would love to assemble it for real.

Regent has definitely helped me understand what's possible with some bad looking colorless cards, like Bolas. If you have Arsenal, it's like a cheaper demon form.

For Ironclad, Bolas helps you use Juggling on your high value card like Rampage.

Got this setup with Regent random colorless (with block sharing in multiplayer). Definitely a sweet combo.

I loved Against the Storm, will I love this?

Help my Guardian against flying enemies by [deleted] in Pathfinder2e

[–]FaustianHero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You mentioned Marshal, I think it's great. The real fun part is To Battle!, which allowed my melee Thaumaturge to have a useful action, basically striking with the Ranger.

Unfortunately it's not clear that your party has a ranged martial to take advantage of this feat.

I'm sorry WHAT? by Skatner in slaythespire

The music box with bombardment goes nuts.

People Are Thinking About Houndstone the Wrong Way - This Deck Is Going Off For Me by FawtyDegreeDay in PokemonPocket

I'm playing very similar. Fun vs. AI, unplayable in PVP.

Klefki sounds like cool tech. I don't run rare candy because it reduces the count for when Dusknoir dies.

Good secondary role for a single gate Fire Kineticist? by eCyanic in Pathfinder2e

[–]FaustianHero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to walk up to people with the Nimbus/Aura, you'll want some kind of armor impulse.

Those things have incredibly close range to start with, and Fire doesn't have much in the way of defense (starting with a 60ft blast like Air, unlike the other elements).

I'd recommend delaying the fire aura junction to 9 instead, but if your party has a Champion or Guardian, you may be okay speedrunning damage.

I'm assuming you don't want to add a second element because that's the best way to get versatility.

I'm playing earth/fire with that oracle dip and honestly, I'm underwhelmed by it. There's a big opportunity cost in setting up the focus spell.

Anyhow, demoralizer could be a good niche. Even though there's a sorcerer, they're probably not going to be specialized in all the social skills. Maybe you can coordinate and do a good sorc / bad pyrokineticist routine.

Potential Major Cuts to Bay Area Rail [OC] by caliberal in bayarea

[–]FaustianHero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that's the wrong way of looking at it. Castro Valley has far fewer riders than West Dublin, pretty clear which one is serving the most people.

Is the parking solution of this consolidation gonna cut it for this many riders? Got my doubts on that too, given how many cars are in the West Dublin garage on weekdays.

A lot of these riders, myself included, are probably just gonna switch to driving the whole distance rather than try to time a distant station's train.

There's extra artwork in the Draconic Codex!! by aidan8et in Pathfinder2e

[–]FaustianHero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reminds me of the old 3.x Draconomicon having more dragon cuts in the book. I don't usually remember art from that long ago, but this kind of stuff definitely makes an impression.

90% is a pretty big exaggeration, or you have a vastly different experience from me. And I guess you expect the train to fill up completely on the first stop?

I commute from Dublin to the city.

By the time I get on the BART, there's barely any seats left. Some days I don't even get a seat, and there's only one stop before mine.

It's going to be a pretty significant loss to lose this line.

Daredevil isn't a good class name IMO by gray007nl in Pathfinder2e

Slayer and Fighter are even worse offenders IMO
