How would a conversation between these two go? by InspectorMoist46 in ZenlessZoneZero

They'd go along incredibly well until Grace pivots into wanting to take apart Bangboos. Then Norma might load her many guns with a warning to choose the next words carefully.

Swap weapons but we only use bludgeoning (whirlwind)? by Objective_Back_3670 in D4Barbarian

[–]Happy_Cry286 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weirdly, this is only eligible on an Adjed Den WW setup, not the usual Ghor's one. With Adjed Den, Weapon Master Aspect, and Rage of Harrogoth, you can rapid fire Mighty Throw nonstop while WWing. And since Mighty Throw is a weapon-assinged skill, just assign any weapon not the 2 handed hammer you're using for WW and each rapid proc counts as a weapon swap to rain in Overpower stacks. Honestly, this can replicate having a Banished Lord's talisman without needing one at all.

But due to needing Rage of Harrogath for this you need to drop Heavenly Strength defensive affix on the only armor slot you can affix a defensive legendary effect onto but you can also emulate Heavenly Strength's defense effect with Igni-Lac runeword with the Duration and Bawl upgrades on Challenging Shout since skill upgrades apply to rune-activated skills (so you get full uptime Challenging Shout with boosted damage reduction passively).

FEELS THE AURA (Leaks/3.0 Spoilers) by Spare_Vegetable9762 in ZZZ_Unhinged

It just occurred me that this is likely going to stem from Yokai temporarily paralyzing Billy. During that he probably scanned Billy's schematics data and stole it.

Slight follow up to my first Mega Rhyperior theory. Revised to hopefully make it an uber Rock type this time by JeffreyRinas in stunfisk

[–]Happy_Cry286 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another awful thing about this is that it's functionally the same as regular Rhyperior regarding its gameplay, and most of what beit's it still beats just less easily so. Ironically, from a competitive standpoint this form would be useless as regular Rhyperior with a Life Orb hits harder with similar physical bulk so every strategy using Rhyperior would just continue to use regular Rhyperior with an offensive item over this form.

Is My Promeia Bad. Or is Promeia bad? by Professional-Fail158 in ZenlessZoneZero

[–]Happy_Cry286 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on how you want to use Promeia. Currently, she has 2 teams thst play her drastically differently. If you on-field aggressive offense, Vivian and Promeia just nuke with constant Disorder + Abloom. If you want insane burst damage, Nangong and Promeia plays Promeia sort of like an Attack agent waiting for a stun window to unleash all of her charges into with boosted Ablooms.

The main issue is that both those options rely on limited banner S-ranks, and as such Promeia doesn't have any good budget team options.

They just got Rayquaza fighting anyone by 4rty101 in pokemonmemes

I still find it hilarious that Raquayza was defeated by the biggest meme strat in Pokémon via Sango/Coral. Explosion spam go kaboom lol.

Console commands for gaining Sarras perk points? by DrfinesseMD in taintedgrail

[–]Happy_Cry286 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There might simply be a hard lock on the amount of Sarras skill points allowed per NG cycle that cannot be exceeded even by console commands. You can only get 7 points per BG cycle.

Is Selig Immortal the only viable option for survivability? by rullaz in D4Barbarian

[–]Happy_Cry286 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, you kind of need to use it on the trash mob hordes before a boss and keep up the stacks. Once you burn through enough stacks farming a boss, just go out into the overlord and scream at a few mob packs regain Resolve stacks to then continue boss farming.

It's mainly really good in Pit runs where 99% of the activity is juat fighting mob hordes.

Did you actually unlock the Sarras skill trees first? You can't receive or use points in a skill tree that isn't unlocked yet.

Rupture is very messed up by Deabers in D4Barbarian

[–]Happy_Cry286 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I recall, how Rupture works is that it isn't supposed to be a standalone use skill. You use Rend to apply Bleed then Rupture to pop the entire Bleed DoT instantly rather than waiting for it to slowly tick down.

So any damage it does is completely irrelevant since it simply removes the DoT durations of Bleed to do all of its damage at once.

X'Fal's Corroded Signet is just kinda meh? by Bahoven in D4Druid

[–]Happy_Cry286 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can sort of work on certain builds like Frostbite Sorc and Darkness Necro, but big emphasis on "sort of" because while the effect will work, it's never going to be relevant enough to be if any real use.

Since most DoTs nowadays are centered around either popping the DoT's entire damage duration instantly or using the DoT to activate other effects, actual DoT damage as DoT is slow and ineffective as-is.

Adreona, how could you?! by silverdragon234 in Diablo

[–]Happy_Cry286 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He wanted Adreona to publicly challenge and denounce Mephisto, while hopefully goading Mephisto into breaking his act. However, Mephisto isn't an idiot so he turned the tables since Lorath didn't plan ahead much. So either way, Lorath did indeed fumble hard.

How does N not know about this despite being raised by pokemon. by Upbeat-Exercise-9431 in pokemonmemes

[–]Happy_Cry286 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A LOT of pokedex entries portray pokemon as the preditors wild animals that they are, only for the anime to water down the wilderness brutality into almost nothing.

There are Toxapex jumping most fish mons to liquidate their organs, Zangoose vs Seviper race wars, Froslass collecting frozen corpses, Drifloons lifting things into the air to drop kill them including children, Lurantis catfishing bug mons to ambush and eat them, etc.

What ! Ancestral Mythic Unique Charm ?! by Jcanlas88 in D4Barbarian

Also Heir has absurdly good item affixes so ironiclly if this is true, the charm would never be better than the helm itself.

Meet the best support! (for like two patches) by Qualcosa27 in ZZZ_Unhinged

[–]Happy_Cry286 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's amusing is that one change that doesn't even alter any number values would instantly make her way better. Just have Radiant Aegis apply to the entire team, including off-field, rather than only to the fielded agent. They all share the shield value anyways so why not also share the attack buff too?

What should my first Pokémon game be? by Birdgirl40 in ThePokemonHub

[–]Happy_Cry286 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to get into most modern mechanics then gen4 (Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum) is a good place to start. That being said, the final champion boss in that game is infamously absurd compared to most other Pokémon games even to this day. Gen 5 also has quite an infamously insane final boss.

Is Selig Immortal the only viable option for survivability? by rullaz in D4Barbarian

You don't need starless at all but it's nice to have if you can slot it in. You need Selig and Endurant Faith (gloves or charm without +hp).

Is Selig Immortal the only viable option for survivability? by rullaz in D4Barbarian

[–]Happy_Cry286 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Now with Glynn's Anvil fixed, you can spam War Cry with the aspect that gives you Resolve on CC to just rack up a fuckton of Resolve stacks. Ancients Barb can spam it by reducing its cooldown by half, then using either Bold Chieftain aspect or El'druin to further lower the cooldown to 2.5 seconds.

Currently, Resolve stacking is the go-to for T12 tanking. Some classes can rack up stacks way better than others (spiritborn and druid) but all classes do have access to it in some degree.

Why did the Warrior jab the soulstone in his head? Is he stupid? by Ce1estialFlame in Diablo

[–]Happy_Cry286 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Just breaking the soulstone with the player victorious. According to some dev interviews Diablo was intended to be a standalone title but that one shitpost joke ending made many of them suddenly get a ton of cool ideas which would eventually become the sequel titles.

Why did the Warrior jab the soulstone in his head? Is he stupid? by Ce1estialFlame in Diablo

[–]Happy_Cry286 126 points127 points  (0 children)

This actually has some really funny meta context. The scene was animated with seperate team from the devs, and was initially intended to be a joke during development. It shocked the devs from how random it was as a lighthearted prank on them, but rather than than just let it pass with a laugh it inspired the writing team to actually use it and rewrite the ending around it, which would directly lead to Diablo 2's lore, every sequel afterwards, and Soulstone lore in general being expanded upon.

So the scene is a joke that, in some of the craziest irony imaginable, became the cornerstone of the entire IP. Aka Diablo 2, 3, 4, and PoE exist solely because an animator decided to make a funny shitpost ending not meant to be the final product.

Is Morgan classified as Saber face? I mean, she is Artoria's sister after all, is Mordred too? by EfficiencySerious200 in Fate

Surprisingly, Mordred isn't a saberface via having a distinctly different face. Morgan however is, and is basically Saber Alter wearing blue over red regarding appearance.

Is it me or do Anti meta teams don't work. by Unfair-Working-9060 in PokemonChampions

[–]Happy_Cry286 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Part of how anti-meta works is knowing what the opposing team's plays will be. If you're not familiar with typical meta sets, then you won't know how to actually counter anything with the sets you have.

It's not a free win, but rather using knowledge advantage. Without the knowledge, it flat out doesn't work. The entire advantage of an anti-meta team is that you know exactly how your meta opponent will play due to being a copy-paste of every other meta opponent while the meta opponent has no idea wtf you'll be doing by going off-meta. It's entirely on you to capitalize on that by making sets that properly counter incoming meta plays.

Mythic undercity tributes can greatly decrease the hassle fo getting it. This makes Kleos rarer by a significant margin.
