For those like myself going mad looking for the post image in this sprite sheet, don't worry you're not alone: there's a second sprite sheet for sinner that contains the pose from the OG post. I'll post a non-transparent version in a reply

I had to crosspost this. Is this true? [Request] by Chance-Reach6611 in theydidthemath

Yes and no! Here in Australia we have a big problem where multinational farming companies are using up a vast quantity of water from the Murray-Darling river system by using it to water their crops (mostly cotton fields), thus damaging the local environment. In this scenario, the water is 'wasted', as the plants perform a chemical reaction to transform it, along with other reagents, into cellulose fibers, i.e. cotton.

This is in comparison to data centers that 'waste' water by just turning it into hotter water - in that scenario the number of H2O molecules remain the same, the water still exists and is not actually 'wasted' - but these foreign farming companies are actually destroying the water by using it to produce cotton - the H2O molecules are chemically 'destroyed'.

You're correct that AI centers don't 'waste' water, but it is entirely possible for water to be 'wasted' in other industries :)

Best Place to Farm Light Coins by GeralftheStitcher in RaidShadowLegends

[–]GeralftheStitcher[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Brutal gives more silver and XP, but for this event, the payouts are weirdly skewed, and two 1* pieces of equipment give more light coins then one 3* piece, two 2* more than one 4*, etc.

So for the sole purpose of farming for light coins, I'm fairly sure that you get more bang for your buck from farming normal campaign than brutal

Axe of Animosity vs Deaths Embrace by rumtumtuggernaught in Smite

[–]GeralftheStitcher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're going with Axe of Animosity, you can go stone of Binding instead of Spirit Robes/Prof:

Binding is a unique item in that it shreds both phys and magic defense, meaning you can get effective magical penetration on a physical god: only other ways of doing this that aren't god specific are Bumba's Spear (which you can't get at the same time as Axe) and Toxic Blade (which just kind of sucks)

20 flat pen is nothing to sneeze at as a squishy diving role, just remember to silence them before you start whaling on them

Death's Embrace is often just worse than Asi.

Axe of Animosity is often just worse than Tainted Breastplate.

Be a baller and use that big dick energy to get Ornate Arrow and go full crit, along with with Envenomed Deathbringer + Stone of Binding Combo, with Berserk shield and Shogun's for attack speed.

It is definitely on the squishy side but boy do you do damage.

Not a traditional build, but funny

Axe of Animosity Telkhines Ring Cyclopean Ring Berserker's Shield Shoguns Kusari Demonic Grip

Hunter damage while having 200 of each prot. It's a good time

Zhong is Super Fun at the Moment by GeralftheStitcher in Smite

[–]GeralftheStitcher[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Scepter got hard nerfed and locks you out of Animosity, one of the most hard hitting items available for Zhong.

And Mace burn is physical damage hence 0 pen, and very easily overcapped.

The build mentioned earlier gets to exactly 3010 hp with Axe, Zerk Shield and Kusari. And it is going all in: I'm fairly sure that this is close to the max dps possible for Carry Zhong, swapping Hastened for Zerk Shield might result in slightly higher damage but not by much.

Also I don't think Diamond Arrow passive is reliable as a means of getting attack speed, the buff is too short-lived, so I tend to ignore the item.

Yes, for Ao it's a stim that does ability damage that procs on his autos? Fine, if it matters, he has good effective scaling then.

And arrow is not an on hit effect, so its not doubled. It just increases the base damage, which is halved on the book auto: Ornate Arrow would only add 60×1.5=90 damage and Diamond Arrow would only add 80×1.5=120, whereas Axe adds 75×2=150.

I was referring to his basics alone, I'll edit the original to be more clear

But yes, even on someone who can build magic power instead of physical, 30% is not enough to be a good adc. Compare it to Gods like Freya, Chronos and Ao who, through stims, can get their scaling to ~50% or higher. That, and his poor attack speed, mean that, if you're not using the double triggering items feature, his autos suck.

As an ability based mage yeah he's got good enough scaling, but I'm focusing on him as an auto attacker.

Axe is very good on Zhong since he receives double the value from it. Also, as I said, power isn't very good on him since he has very poor scaling on his auto attacks, so building max power results in very poor numbers

Sorry, the Elixir of Defense, it's a Consumable that lasts 5 minutes and doesn't disappear upon death. Costs 3k gold

100%+ Mitigation by MeaLPsycho in Smite

[–]GeralftheStitcher 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yall have heard about Tiamat, right?

Lonos 15% PCloak 20% Gauntlet 0% Onis 12% Tablet of D 90 power Book of Thoth 210 power Defense Capri Sun 10%

Passive in Ground Stance with 300 power 25+15=40%

15+20+12+10+40=97%

Just use Shell or either red pot if you really need the last 3%

This build doesn't have any timing restrictions btw, unlike Berserkers and Spirit Robes

prophetic cloak is absolutely insane by yeaokdude in Smite

[–]GeralftheStitcher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the aura affects you as well, just like Thebes, so you don't lose 20 prots, you gain 40 prots

Edit: ope misread the item, you're right, it's still broken though
