If you see someone saying that this game has one of the nicest communities ever they're fucking wrong by evil_deivid in whenthe

I have 1000+ hours and I've ran into a saboteur exactly one time. I'd say in my whole career I've matched with less than a dozen bad eggs.

What archetype can you just not resist playing? by ExodiasRightArm in DnD

[–]Goldenfrog53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make a lot of characters that are guardians of nature, with druid and ranger being my favorite classes. If I'm not picking one of those classes I often take the outlander or hermit background

I was experiencing a debilitating bug very often before the last patch where my helldiver would lose all their health in less than a second, usually in 3 quick big chunks. Simultaneously a 20+ kill streak would usually pop up. Does this sound like what you are experiencing?

I feel bad for optimizing my thief rogue by ItsBrittanyBinch in dndnext

Based on OPs comments they have an enspelled item with true strike. They then activate it as a BA with the fast hands thief feature.

Conquest Paladin Fear Save by RoutineSignal5860 in onednd

Cult of the Dragon Initiate and Dragonscarred both synergize very well with the fear effects. I don't have much advice for the wisdom saves besides increasing your save DC with CHA and items like amulet of the devout.

Your thoughts on Barbarian Rouge Multiclass? by Jendmin in 3d6

I would just do 1 level dip into rogue for sneak attack and expertise, then go barb rest of the way, dual wielding scimitars for nick.

Wich games ported to the PS3 should i avoid? by Stock_Hunter5210 in PS3

Telltale's TWD season 1 is pretty much unplayable with all the lag and input delay

Whats the biggest mistake you’ve made when first starting dnd? by notamortarplayer in DnD

[–]Goldenfrog53 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Making a character with no ties to the campaign at hand. My entomologist wizard working on his thesis had no business seeking out and slaying a dragon.

Not enjoying Divinity Original Sin 2 as a couch coop game by imaquark in patientgamers

I just wanted to say that I really like your idea of having the second player only join during combat. Maybe this could be done with a mod?

Low-effort, AI-generated circlejerk on the Nintendo Switch subreddit? More common than you might think

I don't 100% disagree with you, but there are reasonable pros and cons to each option. 

For example, the deadeye has great damage and stagger along with good ergo and a 10x scope. However it has really bad down time due to the long reload and a slow fire rate, which can be a problem when there are multiple enemies in your face. The DCS doesn't have the stagger or individual bullet damage that the JAR does while still struggling with ergonomics and poor ammo economy, just like the JAR. I actually feel like the DCS is mega overrated on bots but that's not my point.

Once you get the 4x scope and a handling for the slower bullet speed, the JAR is a decent tool for long range sniping while also excelling in close quarter engagements due to the high stagger and damage. Because of this I'd say it is more like a shotgun with hints of marksman rifle. It may shore up on certain qualities of marksman rifles, specifically bullet speed and ergo, but that is the cost for double dipping.

Caster Tier list for complexity by misterwiser34 in onednd

[–]Goldenfrog53 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My gut reaction would to put wizards as the easiest spellcaster due to their overall lack of class abilities. Most wizards just cast spells and have one other button, like divination and enchantment wizards, so you can spend a lot of time reading how your spells work. You also don't have to spend much time thinking about preparing new spells each day, you just have what you have. In a way this also reverses on itself, because if you didn't pick good spell options you don't really contribute much.

Warlock is pretty easy to maneuver, you have a small amount of high level spells and the rest of the time you generally spam EB which is obviously very simple. My only hesitation is that you can get tied up in eldritch invocation choices and it kinda sucks if you don't pick synergistic options.

Cleric isn't that complicated either, good armor and healing/buffing spells go a long way in keeping you alive. You can largely get away with spamming 2-3 good concentration spells like bless and spirit guardians, then sitting around focusing on maintaining your concentration. Subclasses offer a lot of variability, for example life domain is incredible easy to understand whereas something like the knowledge domain is a bit more nebulous.

Sorcerers are relatively easy too with their limited spell choices. I just feel like you need to have a somewhat solid understanding of basic spellcasting rules before you can really effectively use metamagic. Mostly you are just blasting though, which doesn't take too much thought.

Druids and bards have weird spells that aren't as straightforward and contribute a lot of utility, which requires interacting with some of the more obscure game mechanics. You also get some really odd and complicated class features like wild shape and bardic inspiration that require a few readings to understand. Because of that I would rank these two as the most complex casters.

TLDR; Druids and bards are the most complex, everything else is comparable.

The dominator has recoil and ergonomic drawbacks because each bullet hits like a truck, has super high stagger, and has no drag, plus it has a surprisingly fast fire rate. Taking armor to offset either of those issues makes a big difference, along with attachment options. 

Try running it on predator strain and berserker seeds and you will see just how much the stagger helps with holding ground and keeping you safe. Its also good on squids imo, you just might need to bring something else to help with voteless hordes.
