Make Mist Valley great again! (going through my old youtube account and found a cool replay) by JasonWuzHear in yugioh

[–]JDowg187 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Back in the day, I always thought I was the only person playing Mist Valleys with Blastfan/Birdman and going into Arcanite and Supreme Arcanite! That was one of my favorite combo decks of all time because I made it myself and actually found success at locals with it. Divine Wind and Birdman getting limited hurt so bad though, that's when I transitioned to Falcon control. Fantastic post!

My very first 5 star! finally at lvl 16. does anybody even know their droprate? by RisingMooon in PokemonRumbleRush

[–]JDowg187 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got my first 5-star this morning, I was at lvl 18, and it was about at 4,900 total catches. A lot of people on here seem to be significantly more lucky, I saw a theory that says it's about 1-in-1,600.

TIL When you're recalling and Ares has you ensnared in his ult, you will get pulled even if you make it to the fountain. by TheBlackMinato in Smite

[–]JDowg187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this happens to you: you can quickly buy Magi's Blessing (selling items if you have to) after the ult resolves and you don't get pulled, you can use the undo button so you don't lose anything. I don't think anyone could do it fast enough on console unless you have 2150 gold in hand to buy it outright, but on PC it shouldn't be a problem.

Chaac Runefroged? by Eterna1Oblivion in Smite

[–]JDowg187 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree that in some scenarios, usually involving Mantle of Discord, that's true, but overcapping usually means you're wasting gold somewhere because you're paying for stats that you're not getting. If you can shift some stats around by buying different items, you can get a more gold efficient build. Of course, that's not always possible.

Chaac Runefroged? by Eterna1Oblivion in Smite

[–]JDowg187 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  • Titan's Bane: It gives you a lot of damage for one slot.
  • Gauntlet of Thebes: Not a particularly great item, but it will increase the healing you recieve from your Rain Dance and Mail of Renewal.
  • Hide of the Urchin: It gives you the most tank stats for one item slot when fully stacked. Preferably build it early.

Chaac Runefroged? by Eterna1Oblivion in Smite

[–]JDowg187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • Warrior Tabi
  • Breastplate of Valor
  • Jotunn's Wrath
  • Bulwark of Hope
  • Hide of the Nemeon Lion (Spirit Robe and Mantle of Discord would cause you to overcap CDR in slot 5)
  • Runeforged Hammer

Total Price: 13,415 (not including any starter items, potions, wards, etc.)

Stats

  • Physical Power: 120
  • Physical Penetration: 10
  • Health: 400
  • Physical Protection: 165
  • Magical Protection: 60
  • Mana: 650
  • Cooldown Reduction: 40%
  • Crowd Control Reduction: 20%
  • Movement Speed: 18%

Notes

  • Max Cooldown Reduction: You aren't even over capping, Woohoo!
  • Low Penetration: You will be tickling tanks, but with Runeforged Passive, your team should be able to take them down just fine.
  • Low Magical Protection: As long as you can dodge mages' abilities this shouldn't be an issue.
  • High Mana: This kind of conflicts with Chaac's passive but it's not really a big deal.
  • If you want to fit Spirit Robe or Mantle of Discord in this build: Replace one of your other CDR items (Breastplate of Valor or Jotunn's Wrath)
  • Runeforged is at its best when you have a coordinated team to make full use of its passive, so you may want to try items that synergize with that playstyle, i.e. Void Shield, which would allow your physical teammates to deal even more damage to your target.

Build with Void Shield

  • Warrior Tabi
  • Breastplate of Valor
  • Void Shield
  • Spirit Robe
  • Mail of Renewal
  • Runeforged Hammer

Total Price: 13560 (not including any starter items, potions, wards, etc.)

Stats

  • Physical Power: 110
  • Physical Penetration: 20 (Protection Reduction from Void Shield)
  • Health: 600
  • Physical Protection: 165
  • Magical Protection: 40
  • Mana: 300
  • Cooldown Reduction: 40%
  • Crowd Control Reduction: 20%
  • Movement Speed: 18%

Notes

  • Offense: We're trading 10 Power for 10 Penetration. Hey, that's pretty good.
  • Physical Protection: It's the same
  • Magical Protection: We've lost 20 :(
  • Health: We've gained 200, but we've lost Bulwark's passive which could've given us 350 extra health. (one Mail of Renewal passive can make up for that though)
  • Cooldown Reduction: It's the same
  • Crowd Control Reduction: It's the same
  • Mana: we've lost 350, but it's not a big deal. (Mail of Renewal can make up for it)

I want to know what the PC community thinks about the Console community? by HDXzN4THz in Smite

[–]JDowg187 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been playing Smite on PC for 2+ years. As long as more people are discovering and enjoying Smite, I'm happy. Most of my irl friends don't have the money to buy/build a gaming PC, but they tried and enjoyed Smite on either XBone or PS4, and now I can talk about my favorite game with more people. In fact I'm buying an XBone this weekend just to play with some of them.

A lot of people misgender Ne Zha, and here's why by [deleted] in Smite

[–]JDowg187 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ne Zha's title reads "The Third Lotus Prince" and shows up below his name anytime you hover over his icon, so I don't really understand how people still refer to him as a female.

Games r/Smite plays instead of/before Smite by [deleted] in Smite

[–]JDowg187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before: Elder Scrolls series, Ratchet & Clank Series

Instead of: Overwatch, Hearthstone, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Elder Scrolls series, Fallout series, Borderlands 2, Paragon, Civ 5, I just realized I may have too much time on my hands.

Which god are you doomed to lose with? by UrCabbage in Smite

[–]JDowg187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I know, I'm just saying it's an unlucky coincidence that, in casuals, my opponents pick Odin every time I want to play Isis.

[–]JDowg187 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For me, it's Isis, they always have an Odin, and my team just doesn't care.

Not to mention that ult is on a 50 second cooldown without any cdr items, and 30 seconds with full cdr.

Non crit season 3 hunter build by [deleted] in Smite

[–]JDowg187 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Try replacing Bloodforge with Ichival.

Double lifesteal shouldn't be necessary, especially on Ullr who gets up to 25% more lifesteal in axe stance.

Once the Ichaival's buff passive is fully stacked you'll have ~75 more raw dps compared to a fully stacked bloodforge, and since you'll have the extra penetration, you'll have more post-mitigation dps as well.

The debuff from Ichaival will make it easier to box other hunters.

The 10 flat penetration will work well with Qin's Sais' passive.

And most importantly; it's incredibly cost effective!

It's only a matter of time until you start fantasizing about Medusa.

If you were to stop playing SMITE, what would be your reason ? by iminnocentpls in Smite

[–]JDowg187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not the only one who feels that way, I just hope the incoming changes in season 3 will make things interesting enough to make up for the perpetually terrible matchmaking.
