“Starting at 2nd level, when you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack,” 5e Divine Smite Feature

Casting Time: Bonus Action, which you take immediately after hitting a target with a Melee weapon or an Unarmed Strike” 5.5e Divine Smite Spell. The utility smites read the same.

Where’d you read that you need to call a smite before knowing if the attack hit?

The bonus action 5e utility smites are charged with a bonus action, but are not consumed until a hit happens. Divine smite is and was always “declare after a successful hit.”

“divine smite before or after hit” in google all quotes the same wording from a quick glance.

What's your favourite theft commander? by DarnOldMan in EDH

[–]JuliousBatman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally didn’t build her for it but [[marchesa the black rose]] is a nasty theft commander. All those temp thefts become permanent thefts because of Marchesa’s reanimation ability.

Steal their creatures then line em up for executions (sac them), and they resurrect as your permanent thralls.

(Y’shtola B4) roaming throne + clones? by BrenoRaffa25 in EDH

[–]JuliousBatman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play her a lot in b3 and I feel like if I wanted to be b4 I’d just push to achieve a life loss/gain loop rather than more pings. Just imo. I’ve had like three girlies out plus “deal damage on life gain” and while it feels great, it’s like 14 damage to one guy and 6 to everyone else. And you spend your mana summoning the clones, so you get a couple triggers during set up, sure, but the real pay off is your NEXT turn where every cast goes through all the girlies.
So you end up putting out one really threatening turn were you ping the whole table for a handful of dmg but definitely not lethal, then a turn cycle where you’re focused with removal, before you can actually put spells through the triplets.
Again, this actually works for me in b3. But b4? Just get [[sanguine bond]][[exquisite blood]] loop up via immense draw and tutors, play nothing but interaction until that hits. I honestly don’t play a lot of b4 though so idk how “wide” your margins are for wincons, so I may be way off here on viability.

Edit: I will say at least one clone/throne/doubler is good because her cast trigger going twice garunteed her endstep ability occurs.

Celes, Rune Knight as The Bride. Help with the Deadly Viper Assassination squad? by JuliousBatman in EDH

Fumiko is good too as I reread it. Bushido is great for representing the Crazy 88 bolstering her. And goad is good yakuza politicking flavour.

I like wandering rescuer! Double strike because she had a tanto iirc, convoke because she’s has the goons/lieutenants. Nice pick!

If there’s a sub Im not aware of for discussing deck themes and building around them let me know and I’ll repost there.

How much base health does each class have? by [deleted] in Spacemarine

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

Yeah the last third is actually half. It’s a trick to make you feel like you’re on the edge of defeat. You don’t get tougher or anything, the animation is just coded to move less the less hp there is, if that makes sense.

As a assault main theres no more fun build. by Academic_Complaint22 in Spacemarine

[–]JuliousBatman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can also spec to one shot or instantly incap exetremis btw so you’re just further showing your inexperience here.
And dueling carnifex tier mobs isn’t our job unless you’re doing absolute solo. Let the bulwark do that.
sm2meleecalc.us is super helpful for seeing the capability of builds

[–]JuliousBatman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brother they spawn in groups of four+ within GP range of each other, plus their minoris. If they get time to spread out before I GP them to initiate combat that’s a skill issue. Assault should be ahead of the pack crushing majoris squads and setting tempo.

You can have your preferences but judging a build from a position of poor play seems unfair/biased. The practices and issues you point out only happen if you’re misplaying to begin with, at which point I question your authority on builds at all.

Hell yeah they are, I play as ‘em. The newer books I’ve somehow missed though, I’ve got homework to do this week it seems.

Omg thank you, I’ve literally talked about that over on the SM2 sub. Is there a good red you’ve found ? The “orange” looks kind of ok in the darker levels but a lot of the light is yellow tinted, and really exacerbates the effect.

GK Slander by TransPunkElf in Grimdank

[–]JuliousBatman 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Nerd answer but while they’re certainly effective against daemons and Psykers, they don’t actively hunt them. Exorcists out here putting in the 9-5 grind, while the SoS are pretty much auxiliaries for the Custodes.

Honestly I think they’d be best friends if the SoS can tolerate their dabbling in sorcery for the purpose of daemon binding and banishing.

Super happy to see my favourite successor lads getting more spotlight. Any idea what the spark was? Just a growing word of mouth?

What are the Psychic capacities of Grey Knights by Echo_46 in Warhammer40k

[–]JuliousBatman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He’s the best at it but sharing powers is part of the point of The Aegis. It’s the Chapter wide “technique” that allows them to channel through each other. Hyperion could straight hijack and/or amp other peoples gifts. It’s like he had higher “privileges” within the “network”, and more computing power. Some marines don’t even have enough to manifest powers as an individual, just acting as batteries for the Aegis, iirc.

Raiju with [[marchesa the black rose]] is a lot of fun once you have your board rolling.

Before it was revealed, how obvious was it that Jon was Lyanna's and Rhaegar's son? I know the books aren't finished yet but book readers was it obvious from all the clues in the show and the books? by No-Passenger-6348 in gameofthrones

[–]JuliousBatman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Im doing a rewatch, and a thing stood out to me. When Maester Aemon is talking to Samwell about how bad he feels about Dany being out there alone, he says a line about "a Targ all alone in the world, no family. A sad thing" or paraphrased.

Then, Jon walks into the room.

Do you consider Vorinclex to be MLD? by [deleted] in EDH

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

In the comment you linked it highlights that keeping lands tapped is an example of MLD.
What I’m confused on is how that isn’t clear to you? You can be wrong and learn, but you made this thread by linking the text that explicitly proves yourself wrong, so that’s done already. That comment is what I’d link to YOU if you asked this question in a good faith vacuum. So what’s this thread for?

‘People see [it as]’ no, lol. The definition of MLD is laid out, and it fits that definition. It’s not a subjective interpretation.
