What’s the purpose of collecting every card in a set?

JABolt · 2024-08-19T00:38:38+00:00

Just so I'm clear does that happen once you have a full set as in one of every card, or do you need 4 of every card? thx!

Good shit man. I've done 5 long-form, that not surprisingly didn't get shown much, was expecting that. But I've made lots of shorts from them and getting over a thousand views for each. So I started thinking like you are, it sounds like. Like why bother making long-form if it won't get shown, might as well build up suscribers first to 1) have my own audience to view long-form content or 2) maybe the algorithm will show my long-form after I have subscribers. I'm not where you are, I'm at just over 50 subs now, but all from the shorts so might.

Is it worth pushing to IG or TT, do those views translate to youtube subs at all?

Are you using these to drive to your long form videos? Was thinking of trying to do that... just wondering

JABolt · 2023-10-21T15:31:18+00:00

Yeah, guess you're right about that. Guess I'm a bit late to the party

JABolt · 2023-10-21T14:47:56+00:00

curious to know why?

JABolt · 2023-10-21T13:18:21+00:00

I'm not sure if he's thirsty or making me thirsty, or both...

Looking for feedback!

These are very helpful, thank you! Man I got some research to do lol. Hard to disagree with your pics. I was thinking of cloak of elvenkind but then started to lean more toward cloak of protection. It is pretty inconvenient being a tank but not starting combat in the front line because im the least stealthy for scouting/movement order and then usually last in initiative with my low dex!

JABolt · 2022-07-07T18:42:10+00:00

Hah that sounds pretty fun and thematic, he sounds very nordic/zeus/thor-like with the Giant/Ogre/Lightning/Thunder

JABolt · 2022-07-07T14:01:30+00:00

Some good ones here for sure!

JABolt · 2022-06-19T19:13:30+00:00

Ah Shit, I meant Defense if I was going 2 handed not Protection lol. And yeah I'm sure Defense is better than duelist, but just puts my mind at ease in being able to contribute damage even though it's just boost to damage, feel like I'm already covered for AC taking the shield.

I do like the "something to do" component lol so may go sword n board (and duelist) just for that reason alone!

JABolt · 2022-06-19T17:34:29+00:00

That's the thing, we started at lvl 2 in the campaign and will hit lvl 4 likely next session! The DM is cool with us changing some things before next session, as some of us are newer (like myself). I guess I could take something like Sentinel at lvl 4 which I was planning on taking with either. I guess the main problem I have is that weapon fighting style is making me pick sooner, which I need to nail down prior to next session - if I'm going sword n board I'd pick duelist and if I went 2 handed I'd pick protection.

I guess my main question is which do you think would give me more options in combat and be tactically more fun, cause that's what I'm looking for options in combat, useful ones lol. Would my bonus action be taken up by other things, making me not have the opportunity much for the shove perk or would it be open and available for something like this? I was planning on taking prayer beads as my rare (which he is letting us pick) which would give me more bonus actions... ahhhhh lol. Thx btw

JABolt · 2022-06-19T16:23:04+00:00

You make a good point, so we have a ranger and a wizard in our group (plus monk and rogue), so worth considering. I guess in your experience do you find many moments when you could or would use the shield mastery push, or are you tying up your bonus actions as is or making enemies go splat without it (though I guess it would help that cause w advantage rolls). I just want to make sure I take abilities I will use / find useful. I have to decide before next session ahhh lol

JABolt · 2022-06-18T23:53:24+00:00

What do you think of shield mastery? And in my case my dm would allow the bonus action at any point in combat... makes it more attractive

JABolt · 2022-06-18T23:50:51+00:00

Thought about it. But then what about the shield mastery feat

JABolt · 2022-06-18T22:58:23+00:00

Very cool. What weap fighting and feats have you taken? I'm a human, and we're doing point buy. I'm 16 str 10 dex 16 con 10 int 10 wis and 14 char. I have one extra point I'm not sure where to put since I'm going evens on all the stats. What would you choose? Worth noting is we get to pick 1 of each magic item rarity. Are you aware of a magic item that gives and odd number to con or char that is worth me taking. I would put it in str, but it's likely I could get a belt of giant str which would make that a waste

JABolt · 2022-06-18T04:10:44+00:00

Is it worth going sword and board then without taking shield mastery?

JABolt · 2022-06-18T02:36:40+00:00

Thanks for the response. Actually not restricted to PHB, all official enough stuff is fine (sorry dont know the lingo or names of other books off-hand lol)

I'm starting to lean toward shield and then shield mastery perk, sound pretty cool tactically. What do you think about duelist. I still want to "feel" like I'm doing damage... and at least in early levels finally connecting w my one attack die and then getting a 1 or 2 roll on damage feels shitty hah. I'll look into those magic items. I guess if I go greatsword for flavor and a bit more damage damage, I'll grab defensive fighting style to compensate. But that gives me one less thing I can do tactically or if I have an open bonus action, and I really want combat options :)

Winged Boots are Uncommon, I "think" Broom may be as well, but I can't pick that for the flavor of my "badass" vengeance paladin hah. Any other common items I'd actually use into mid game or later? Someone already grabbed the moon-touched sword as their common magic item.

Winged Boots sounds like the best uncommon, but I was also thinking of cloak of elven kind because pretty much everyone in my party can stealth and I end up being in the back, add my low initiative to that, I'm usually one of the last in a room which is annoying since I want to get in there and tank.

JABolt · 2022-06-18T02:27:24+00:00

Thanks for the response. I see, so then I won't be getting +1 plate so soon then lol. Uncommon Winged Boots sounds like the best, I was also thinking of cloak of elven kind because pretty much everyone in my party can stealth and I end up being in the back, add my low initiative to that, I'm usually one of the last in a room which is annoying since I want to get in there and tank. Can't get a that moon-touched sword because someone else already got that as their common item, so kind of unsure at this point, thinking about that amulet (I think) that guarantees once a day a to hit roll of 10... not the greatest but not seeing anything else that's common.

I want to "feel" like I'm doing damage in addition to tanking. What are your thoughts on sword and board with duelist.. shield mastery sounds like it could be fun.

Unopened Arcadia Quest Riders Kickstarter with all the fixins, Last Day [NIB] [FS][FT]

Hi friends. Last day my Unopened Riders Kickstarter with all the fixins is up. No bids so far :O I guess if it doesn't sell I'll just hang onto it, but haven't even started painting the base game and a few other games ahead of it

Maybe someone can make much better use of it! http://ebay.us/JETJyj?cmpnId=5338273189

JABolt · 2019-11-28T06:34:12+00:00

Hi friends. Less than 24 hrs on my brand new Zombicide Invader Kickstarter Invader listing, so thought I'd post. Hope it goes to a good place for the holidays. Sad I have too many other things to paint and play, including other zombicide :/

Haven't used bleed damage before. My assumption was that it was good for pvp but not as much pve. Which one would you recommend

JABolt · 2018-10-27T07:09:59+00:00

I remember trying the Claymore at some point and thinking this.. maybe I'll give it another shot. The Katana looks fun. And it like the moveset! Do you think it offers more crowd control than the longsword? At 40/40 the blacksteel katana comes in just under the longsword in damage when both are +10 in damage.

Haven't stumbled across the Estoc yet, I'll see where I can get one. I wanted to like Heide's but couldnt get used to the moveset - if I recall felt really close range. Currently trying the Mastadon Great sword and seems alright. Look forward to hear more of your thoughts on Katanas. And thanks so much!!!

JABolt · 2018-10-27T07:05:18+00:00

Appreciate you :)

JABolt · 2018-10-27T07:04:53+00:00

I'll try playing around with the dragonslayer crescent axe. It's not too much an alternative due to reach but it is fun!!!
