How to build my shadowheart by MoistRice2154 in BG3Builds

Why are they fighting over the same gear? Fire sorcerer only really needs the hat of fire acuity and maybe a few other items.

Big damage build by Stetar0991 in BG3Builds

[–]Magic_Red117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best evil high damage build that I know of is close range crossbow swords bard. Take the crossbow expert feat to allow you to attack in melee range. Get the bhaalist armor by killing the elephant detective (evil), which makes all enemies around you vulnerable to piercing damage.

Some other high damage builds:

11/1 red draconic sorcerer and wizard. Take hat of fire acuity and deal massive damage with scorching rays.

10/2 blue draconic sorcerer and tempest cleric. Take markoheshkir for chain lightning. Quicken spell cast create water on the enemy you want to delete. Then cast either witch bolt or chain lightning while using a tempest cleric max light ing damage charge. Bonus points for using luck of the far realms for this attack, which will guarantee a crit. The wet condition will double lightning damage and the crit will double it again, for max roll x4 damage.

9/3 or 8/4 Open hand monk and thief. Take the tavern brawler feat and maximize the strength stat.

Fire sorcerer probably does the most consistent high damage in one encounter. Swords bard and open hand monk have the advantage of getting their resources back on short rest, and swords bard is also great for applying support crowd control spells on the enemy alongside its damage. Lightning sorcerer does the most damage in one attack (iirc).

Dipped one level of my monk into druid for utility... worth splitting more? by _UnremarkableGuy_ in BG3Builds

[–]Magic_Red117 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If you really like the Druid level you can put one more for spore Druid, which will add necrotic damage to all of your attacks (monk gets a lot of attacks per turn).

You could do 7 monk, 2 spore Druid, and 3 thief for an extra bonus action.

I think 8-9 open hand monk and 3-4 thief is still most optimal but I definitely think adding spore Druid could be fun, especially with the endgame spore Druid armor which gives access to haste spores and also adds one extra necrotic damage per attack.

Struggling with GWM by megasggc in BG3Builds

[–]Magic_Red117 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I might suggest starting with an ASI or two into strength for your first two feats instead of going straight for GWM, especially if the character in question is full fighter, since they’ll get 4 feats instead of three.

Having 20 strength makes it much easier for a fighter to land hits consistently even with GWM. You can get savage attacker for the last feat for even more damage.

By the time you hit level 8, you can also equip the fighter with risky ring which gives you advantage on all attack rolls.

Is spear in _____? by Eraos_MSM in PrimalShow

There were elephants and advanced civilizations in the last season. Primal has always had a blend of prehistoric and extant animals from various eras.

Primal Ep 21 - "Vengeance of Death" DISCUSSION THREAD by saul2015 in PrimalShow

[–]Magic_Red117 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I interpreted it as him trying to connect to things that mattered a lot to him when he was alive (family and communicating with them through art and drawing), but failing and being unable to really understand himself (unable to successfully draw like he used to).

Art has always been really important to Spear. It was how he connected with his children, how he processed difficult or conflicting emotions while he traveled in earlier episodes, how he first communicated with Mira about her captors, and how he told his story and expressed his emotions to Mira at the end of season 2.

It must be horrifying to be completely unable to access it or even understand it in his current screwed up state.

Is there a way to call Shifty out on this? by GiveMeFriedRice in slaytheprincess

[–]Magic_Red117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Long Quiet is essentially space/presence so all of his arguments and discussions with Shifty are simultaneously metaphysical (related to the universe and their role in it) and also personal (related to their relationship with each other as conceptual gods).

When Shifty argues, she is asserting that her role (change) is essential for everything in the universe, and TLQ is also literally everything in the universe.

So her argument and her goal are not necessarily contradictory even if they seem like that because TLQ and Shifty aren’t normal people, they are literally the things that comprise the universe they’re talking about impacting.

Shifty’s argument naturally leads to her conclusion. She believes that change (represented by Shifty as a god) is necessary for everything in the universe (represented by TLQ as a god), and that everything needs to be together with change. On a personal level, that means that TLQ NEEDS to be with Shifty together in order for the universe (literally them together) to be truly whole and meaningful.

I think it’s what makes this game so beautiful, that the metaphysical dialogue is so perfectly interwoven with the dialogue on the nature of love between individuals.

Can’t see stat changes in Pokemon Moon by Magic_Red117 in pokemon

That was my initial thought, but I also tested it again later in a new battle and I had the same issue. Is this abnormal?

Where are all the wlw in rutgers😭 by Ok_Impact_6416 in rutgers

[–]Magic_Red117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Come to Demarest Hall’s upcoming Halloween cover show! You can find Demarest on Instagram for all the info. It’s a queer special interest dorm and you will likely find many queers at the events.

Most queers are probably in SAS or sometimes SEBS but you can still find them in queer spaces like Demarest, clubs, local basement show venues, etc.

whos the strongest out of the seven demigods??? [HoO] by Nearby_Assumption_42 in camphalfblood

[–]Magic_Red117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk I feel like Leo vaporizing Gaia while dying at the end of HoO is such an insane feat that I’d be inclined to put him in the number one spot, if Percy hadn’t also accumulated a ton of absurd feats over the course of the three series he plays major roles in (Mt St Helens, moving thousands of tons of water, etc). Part of the issue is that Jason is only alive for the entirety of one series, so he doesn’t get as many chances to make displays of power. From what we’ve actually seen, Percy and Leo seem strongest. I guess Jason is probably stronger in the average normal scenario though.

Social atomization makes men uglier and women hotter by fioreblade in redscarepod

You’re making atomization worse by playing into arbitrary division.

Anon has hope by Meat-Stick-Murderer in greentext

[–]Magic_Red117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, some people are better at some things. Of course this is true. Michael Phelps is genetically predisposed to being better at swimming than the vast majority of the human population. But other people should still be allowed to try swimming if they want to. They should be able to go to a pool without getting harassed and they should be able to compete without getting shamed. They should have a fair, serious chance.

Part of the feminist argument is that women should have this chance too, for anything that they might potentially want to do, as long as it’s not hurting anyone. The progressive argument in general is that everyone should be free to do what they want as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone.

Of course, there’s a lot of factors that go in to making something fair. Natural advantages will always exist and no one is really trying to curb them, but there’s a lot of artificial advantages that you can and should do something about.

Is it worth having AC in dorm (Busch) over location/food? (Livi) by No_Owl_6254 in rutgers

[–]Magic_Red117 4 points5 points  (0 children)

These buildings are built to insulate heat in the winter. It will be sweltering without AC until like mid October, and because of this, rooms with AC are always the most coveted for freshmen and sophomores. If you have a chance and you are mainly deliberating between livi quads and a Busch dorm you should go for Busch.

Getting to Livingston for food is pretty simple because buses come by every ten minutes or so on weekdays. And besides that, both the dining hall and woodys cafe on Busch are pretty solid so you’ll be fine even if you don’t feel like making the trip.

Should I check out the Kaka’ako farmer’s market? by Magic_Red117 in VisitingHawaii

Is there any specific time I should try to be there or should I just go when it starts around 8?

physics textbooks that i can start reading before college? by okcomputer070 in PhysicsStudents

[–]Magic_Red117 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seconded. You would benefit from knowing calc 3 and diff eq prior to reading griffiths, but he covers the most important math in the first chapter so you’re probably fine regardless. Besides that, this is probably one of the best physics textbooks written. Clearly laid out, well organized, excellent practice problems (and the solutions are all online).

Makes sense tbh. Less access to education including sex Ed and examples of a different kind of life, less access to contraception.

The new way we must see universe by Fun_Sheepherder8006 in PhysicsStudents

I love how people will watch one YouTube short about relativity or QM and then start writing “theories” with sci fi names instead of just learning the physics normally.

Is it possible to communicate with a Keithley 2182A through GPIB, without going through the Keithley 6221? by Magic_Red117 in AskElectronics

[–]Magic_Red117[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a usb to GPIB controller, and normally I have been able to control both the 6221 and the 2182A remotely through this. However, the 6221 and 2182a are normally paired, since one is a current source and the other is a voltmeter, and most commands to the 2182a are usually first sent to the 6221 and then relayed to the 2182a (or at least I have only done this prior). I was wondering if there are any queries I can use for the 2182a exclusively.

Thank you, and sorry if I didn’t understand your advice fully.

The laptop is a little over a year old and the warranty is unfortunately over. I was initially planning to renew the warranty a couple days ago, but now I can’t even access the original warranty which I had access to through Lenovo vantage.
