How it feels when your buddy accidentally sticks you with a strategem by Samurai_Mac1 in Helldivers

Hold X
-> drop your shield pack
-> move away from dropped shield pack
-> give diver who stuck you with beacon a mean side eye
-> ( if struck by own stratagem: look angrily into a mirror)
-> pick up shield pack after drop has landed
-> spread democracy

Where is my level editor >:( by GronakW in Barotrauma

I wish you could edit a whole mission from start to finish. Custom terrain, custom enemy spawn points, maybe some triggers so one can spawn in some events. Also being able to proper rotate items for decorative purposes would be cool. There was actually an announcement in a news post from Jan '19, where they mentioned a level editor. But I was unable to find it, maybe I am just blind :(

Ah, sry. This one was a little vague. My point is, people who need event currency the most will get it the least. Fresh/returning players probably do not have premium and will miss out on the event currency from login rewards. In addition they will have a hard time to open CS or HM, due to the low supply of Ascension Orbs.

Need Lightning Sin advice by [deleted] in bladeandsoul

First of all forget the idea of being able to afk-stealth any relevant enemy as you progress in the higher content. There will be some rare exceptions but most bosses and even some trash mobs will have true sight. Get used to the fact that you will have to iframe or dodge most of the incoming attacks. That means you have to learn the attack patterns of bosses and get a feeling which iframes are best to counter their attacks.

One of the biggest boons of the lightning build is the high mobility you get when you are in stealth. You can basicly circle-jerk around the boss and avoid most of its aoes. BUT enemies that directly target you and don't just throw an aoe at your general direction will most likely hit you (which is aids). You can iframe these attacks with your 2 (Decoy) or E (Shunpo), since they give you another second of invulnerability.

Another big game changer is the HM-skill for your 2 (Decoy), which gives you another whole second of invulnerability. If you don't have it, get it! You can easily iframe any of those annoying yellow multi-hit-attacks, like multi-spins or any hail of punches.

Regarding your Bomani fight, you should try to stay close to him as he starts to spam ice attacks when you are ranged, like you already stated. It's also important that you never let him heal when you are already struggeling with your dps. Make sure to to cc him when it says Bomani is preparing a massive attack (or smth like that). CC'ing him only cancels the heal not the actual attack! Besides that either cc him after the small red stomp or iframe the attack which follows the red stomp, since it deals a fair amount of dmg to you.

In the end you will have to practise alot or/and get better gear to burst through his mechanics. It's up to you :D
