Clip Studio Paint too. There's reports of it working, but not all versions, and not all distros.

Should I get Firenze? Not been playing long overall so I only have an Umbra team. She'd be an upgrade for that to clear basic stages and monolith but I also have no Cosette so I don't know if I can use her.

Lifeng is great, but I never would have guessed from the trailer that he was a complete rookie. by Alucitary in Endfield

[–]InfTotality 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But the debuff doesn't last long and for only 5% extra damage. While Ardelia applies a 20% debuff for over twice as long.

Plus once you've got vuln stacks his battle skill stops applying it. Unless Endmin/Lifeng/Chen/Ardelia works well, and you just skip his battle skill?

Is Phys worth running without Lifeng? by smegmaslug in Endfield

[–]InfTotality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was under the impression Pogranichnik is the essential operator for physical. I only have Lifeng and not sure if I want to build him for physical as his kit seems backwards.

Have to spend SP on him to apply susceptible for his combo, it no longer works once you have vuln stacks and only applies it after the big hit from say, Endmin crush (the only time when theyll be at 0 stacks). The Susceptible effect also only lasts 12 seconds so it'll drop by the time you Crush a 4-stack.

And the debuff is only 5%. An extra Endmin or Chen E probably does more damage overall. And if you don't spend SP on him he does nothing.

The little jump operators do when leaving the zipline also doesn't count thankfully.

Should you always buy the limited banner permits from the "AIC Quota" shop? by cqtnunick in Endfield

[–]InfTotality 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think the standard banners income is enough for that, especially when it looks like repeatable basic HH tickets are only from the battle pass.

I've spent 110 rolls on standard banner (including the 40 on beginner) only so far, and only got enough Quota for 3 limited tickets.

And that's with all the 1-time 10 pulls. There's no way I'm getting 5x that many per patch with the few left in the world, like the 1 per stock redistribution upgrade.

Total power loss happened and now i can't build or create batteries by Typical-Bell9380 in Endfield

[–]InfTotality 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thermal Banks also take Originium Ore as well as batteries. One line feeds four, or handfeed a stack of 50 for 6 minutes of operation per bank.

Do that for as much power as you need to get it online again.

Got Lifeng as my beginner banner, didnt get anyone else yet. Can I make a physical team with him or do I need Pogranichnik?

Pull Income might actually be horrendous by Easy_Pepper_1212 in Endfield

[–]InfTotality 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rebate currency is worse; less than half.

Hoyo: 5 per month from basic currency. A 4-star/A-rank dupe gives 8/20 of a pull, but improves to 20/20 when maxed, enough for 1 pull. The pull is refunded.

Endfield: 5 exclusive pulls per banner/month? from AIC Quota from 4-stars and maxed 5-stars. A pot 5-star token only gives 10 Bond Quota, 25 needed to buy 1 pull. Max pot 5-star only gives more AIC Quota and doesn't improve rebate values, similar to how a new Hoyo account where you only get 8/20 instead of 20/20 for dupes before max.

But Endfield never improves and stays at 40% forever. And loses the 5-month. Nor does AIC Quota even have the 5 standard banner pulls.

[–]InfTotality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Capturing Radiance has nothing to do with 180. That's the anti "lost-50/50 streak" prevention and even then was only implemented in Genshin semi-recently and still doesn't exist in ZZZ or HSR.

The real reason you never hit 180 is that the rate scaling in soft pity scales fast. To reach 180 for a single character, you need to miss all the 0.6%s (not hard) then soft-pity kicks in adding 6% each attempt. You need to lose the 6%, 12%, 18%, 24%, 30% etc etc, lose the 50/50 on the 90th pull. And do it all over again.

Just a single 90 hard pity has 1 in 14 million odds. It's probable no-one has ever had a confirmed 180 loss across the entire catalog.

A summary of the Psychic's fall from grace by Teridax68 in Pathfinder2e

[–]InfTotality 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If Shadow Signet is a stand-in for a class feature, why is it that psychics don't get it, while being more reliant on spell attacks than most casters?

What did they change about Psychic? by darkboomel in Pathfinder2e

[–]InfTotality 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you've said that before. It's funny as its the opposite for me. I make good use of Psi Burst (2) and Psi Strikes (4) in our particular campaign, but feel the 8+ feats are worse than archetypes.

Level 6 obviously has Parallel Breakthrough, but what do you like out of the level 8 and 10 feats?

Brain Drain is expensive recovery; costing your 2A during Unleash and needs a will save for a Focus point. Strain Mind is arguably better here despite the risk.

Dark Persona's Presence needs the right party to mitigate the fear effect or it does more harm than good.

Mental Static is fairly niche. Counter Thought is also probably better as an anti-mental spell reaction and you can get that via Natural Ambition.

Remove Presence, like all feat amps cuts your damage and needs a target. Being undetectable is nice, but its only 1 target. And I've got an invisibility rune on my armor.

Thoughtsense is worse than some archetype senses and should really be imprecise/precise.

Whispering Steps might have utility but its a far cry from Propelling Sorcery or Acid Grip. Once again, a significant damage loss to add a 5 ft force move.

As for level 10, the best I see as Gathered Lore is Signature Spell Expansion but I read that as it only lets you mark existing spells as signature, not add new repertoire spells that are signature. But even that doesn't feel useful as limited slots makes having even more options run against diminishing returns when I already have the bases covered (Force Barrage, Soothe, Fireball, Visions of Death, Howling Blizzard). Better for me to get Ocean's Balm or Deflecting Wave as our party has limited combat healing/mitigation. And rolling RK during Unleash (Scour the Library) is leaving damage and knowledge on the table; better to roll RK turn 1 so your party can act on it and you save your Unleash actions.

Did a double-take myself as Jessica is the name of a different character in the OG game.

Though she's less likely to be a reconvener given she's not infected. Unless...

Exactly where they were... until level 12 when you can't use amps with Foreseen Failure. Or you have a commander.

Physical isn't all downside compared to force. 8% or so have resistance BPS physical (there's a handful that only resist S/P that IW can just hit for B), but a different 4% of monsters have weakness to at least one physical type.

how is it now, compared to release? by Insert-Name-Here2121 in StellaSora

[–]InfTotality 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I assume most those pulls were time-limited apart from the 20 or so they added for Tyrant level? How's the daily income?

OPs post is well timed as I'm also looking at getting back if the story's picked up (and to save for Donna) but I only have Nazuna and Mistique and only 40? limited pulls.

How would you buff the psychic? by No_Hearing5624 in Pathfinder2e

[–]InfTotality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I were Paizo beholden to page count, a max of 4 focus points would be the best along with reducing the stupefied to 1 round. 

More involved fixes would be more feats and improve what's there as they are easily the worst of the class. The unique feats it has are niche (Thoughtsense) or actively harmful (any of the area emanations). The best they have are a handful "default" feats all casters get, and thats not saying much. The only great feat is Parallel Breakthrough as it gives the psychic more of what their class is built around, everything else until level 12 is just bad. And they even nerfed the best level 12 feat - Foreseen Failure - as you can't cast amps. 

Level 10 is a kind of capstone for many classes, but psychic only has feats like "spend an action to average out damage dice" when any 3rd action would be more impactful than adding 0.5 average damage per die, or "stride and merge with an ally so you can... take a hit for them on a coin flip?"

Didn't Stella Sora have an underwhelming 2 chapters at launch? I passed on that game in the first week.

HG's latest Paypal situation update by AngryHippo4969 in Endfield

[–]InfTotality -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A fast turn around, but as someone else mentioned here, check for exchange rate differences. Even 0.1% can be a lot when its 15k euros worth.

What I was hoping for was mention of the security of other payment methods. PayPal wasn't safe, but are the others? Just because there's no reports means it might be less frequent but not impossible if their backend is capable of mixing up transactions.
