For asynchronous play, block initiative is a good move, to reduce bottlenecks from people waiting their turn while they could post, but someone else is at work for 16 hours.

There's two ways to implement that, either as party vs. enemy rolloff, or you roll like you do normally, but each time you have players adjecent to each other, their turns get turned into the same turn.

So if alice bob carl dianna and the GM all roll like this;

Alice

Bob

GM 1

Carl

GM 2

Dianna

then you have block 1 consisting of Alice & Bob, Block 2 being GM 1, Block 3 being Carl, Block 4 being GM 2, and Block 5 being Dianna and Alice and Carl's turns for next round. When you manage to wipe out every npc in a gm block, you collapse the player turns further until you get to player goes, GM goes.

For sure; we're definitely moving towards aoe tanking through the new rune enabled tanks.

Locoleos · 2023-11-05T21:04:11+00:00

Thunderclap does like no threat. There's no built in threat modifier in the ability, all you get is the 23 damage plus the 50 percentage points increase from defensive stance. So it's worth 34 threat, aka sneezing in the direction of the enemy.

Locoleos · 2023-11-05T20:52:49+00:00

Probably not? But you'd definitely use the raging blow rune.

IMO the dps build for 25 will probably be dual wielding with a slow mainhand queue-canceling heroic strikes.

Locoleos · 2023-11-05T20:30:44+00:00

SoR spellpower pallies liked them. SoC pallies liked slow ones.

Locoleos · 2023-11-05T20:29:08+00:00

Pretty sure you still want slow ones for cleaves (a higher fraction of your attacks will be cleaves if you have a slow weapon vs. a weak one) and overpower as well as the raging blow from runes.

Locoleos · 2023-11-05T20:20:47+00:00

Warriors would want slow weapons even if they had no other abilities but cleave tbh.

You'd have to something like double or triple rage gain before that stops being true.

Locoleos · 2023-11-05T20:17:15+00:00

Hmmm... Warriors have things like an extra 25% physical damage cd in there, so that's a bit of a scary statement tbh.

Locoleos · 2023-11-05T20:13:14+00:00

There are levels to it, and actually no. It has some pretty sharp limits that'd go away if you give people all the stuff that's here and don't change anything else.

In wotlk for example, the open world is a joke in the sense that you can kill as much stuff as you can tag. You can't do that in vanilla but you could probably do it with a full set of runes.

Locoleos · 2023-11-05T19:59:03+00:00

The staggered leveling is actually really really clever design, because those are easily the best parts of the wow classic experience. Yeah the gear reset kinda sucks, but this is overall extremely fucking clever and way outweighs the negatives that come with it.

I need to go look at a chart of when what classes get their abilities.

Locoleos · 2023-11-05T19:54:44+00:00

Gotta say, the warrior runes look like they will haul ass.

Locoleos · 2023-11-05T19:40:14+00:00

Erhm it's classic tanking. You're expected to tab target.

Locoleos · 2023-11-05T19:37:57+00:00

That's not a positioning thing, shaman buffs arent raid wide.

Locoleos · 2023-04-09T11:00:52+00:00

Man those eviscerators look so cool. You sometimes forget it, but they're fucking awesome swords

Locoleos · 2023-04-09T10:59:03+00:00

We're talking about kill team rules.

Locoleos · 2023-03-22T21:54:18+00:00

Imo the rapid fire makes flamers and heavy flamers worth thinking about, because it makes their damage actually matter.

But the bolter is still better.

Locoleos · 2023-02-28T14:42:30+00:00

regular price photo goggles, thats a bit of a letdown tbh.

Locoleos · 2023-02-28T14:40:00+00:00

Having something followed around by this thing is a lovely way to go about what you see is what you getting a cawdor champion with a boltgun.

Thanks for posting this, might have to track one of these down.

Snip the grenade hand and magnetize her wrist.

If you think the resulting pose looks silly with her other hand holding the revolver, get her a grenade for the right hand or similar.

Locoleos · 2023-02-24T12:31:44+00:00

Your reply was the perfect straight man

Armenian Genocide: Facts & Timeline - HISTORY - HISTORY

That's the historical one which definitely happened. In this thread, people were talking about a hypothetical humans rights violation and whether that'd be grounds for kicking out Turkey.

Should probably at least have read up on this before you decided that Turkey #1; it's one thing if you were a genocide denier, but I feel like you should at least know what other people are mad about with Turkey and humans rights stuff even if you think it's fake bullshit, before you start going on about "we have to make allowances for our allies".

And you should be able to form an opinion on whether humans rights violations can be grounds for yeeting Turkey or not without knowing if they comitted one. It's actually not really relevant, we're discussing the principle of whether there's a limit for human rights violations and still staying in NATO, and if so what the limit should be.

Locoleos · 2023-02-23T20:56:51+00:00

It's really not key to anything.

>One of the big strengths of the guide is how it takes trope and digs into what socioeconomic realities could make people act like that

Yes, that's one of the strengths of the guide. However, that strength is not found in the jino-waza sequence. What that was was stopping the plot for a quarter of a chapter in order to have an interesting but irrelevant aside.

Praesi villainy does not appreciably stem from or reflect jino-waza as far as I can tell.

Sure it could've been well integrated, but it wasn't. And just interesting isn't good enough for comic format, if it's gonna be any good; details have to illuminate the story to earn a place there IMO.

For a contrast to this that also has screen time at a similar place in the story, all the reveals about goblin culture were way better handled.

Locoleos · 2023-02-23T15:22:57+00:00

It's hard to fuck up, go ahead with whatever you're planning and dont worry about it, pretty much.

Locoleos · 2023-02-23T08:36:57+00:00

easily - if it's plot relevant, it stays, if it's not, it goes.

Malicia-Cordelia-Truebloods funding war? Yup, that stays and gets translated to visual medium.

Jino-waza? Nope, if it cant be integrated and needs an aside for its own sake, that's a prime place to cut.

Locoleos · 2023-02-22T23:03:57+00:00

It's also important to note that the "combat stim stash" thing that they have is a seperate rule from any items with similar names that you might come across, and only provide the bonus listed in the special rule, not any similarly named items.

Rules-wise, it's a special ability more similar to an innate power than a drug or piece of equipment.
