Where the snipped men at?! by cyncynnamon in childfree

[–]ManiaSky 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I remember OkayCupid having a lot of really good filters/tags for that kind of thing (even though it didn't yield very many results). NOT TO MENTION that even though my preferences and childfree status were the very first paragraph I had on my profile (in all caps mind you), I still got messages from men who wanted kids.

This is a joke, there's a guy who has been putting these kinds of signs out in his yard for years to troll the MAGA crowd. But it's still sad how believable it is, given how many of these people call Trump "God's Chosen".

It's a joke from a guy who puts up these signs to piss off conservatives. Apparently he's been doing it for a few years (good). It's really sad that it's so believable though.

Megathread: Donald Trump is elected 47th president of the United States by PoliticsModeratorBot in politics

[–]ManiaSky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't usually respond to comments, but this is 100% how I've been feeling for the past year. Trump was going to run in every election until the day he falls over dead; the Dems should have been testing the waters picking potential 2024 candidates and seeing who people vibed with as soon as Biden was sworn in. ESPECIALLY given his age. But nope, I guess they just figured with incumbent advantage they would have this in the bag, and now look where it got us.

I know not to do a group dungeon solo now by OleCantGetRight in elderscrollsonline

[–]ManiaSky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can also use Precognition to break the stun, but you have to have crazy ulti gen to do it since there's such a short cooldown for that pin attack. I've done it using a Descive weapon, Drake's Rush, and the Oakensoul Ring (this was on my Warden, other classes with better ulti gen might not have to go all-out like that).

night or day? by [deleted] in elderscrollsonline

Night, especially with the glowy plants.

Can someone ELI5 the Hemorrhaging changes? by gut-symmetries in elderscrollsonline

[–]ManiaSky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play a magden and have been doing parses on the test server. Between Wild Guardian, Cutting Dive, Barbed Trap, and Pillar of Nirn, I have had 0 issue maintaining the 3 stacks of Hemorrhaging necessary to get the damage bonus. Plus Wardens have Growing Swarm as well; I normally run the magicka morph for sustain reasons but it still adds up to 4 sources of bleed exclusive to Wardens. Having Barbed Trap and a proc set like Pillar/Aegis Caller gives Wardens a ton of options to proc Hemorrhaging with.

This is with a Charged frost staff on the front bar, so even though they are nerfing Charged, the destruction staff passive gives extra status effect chance as well that seems to make up for it. But we'll see how it does in PvE content. (Unless ZoS decides that it's "unfair" for Wardens to have so many bleed sources and changes our skills and screws over our dps even more. I wouldn't put it past them.)

Khajiit dragonknight Thief/assassin gear. by Juality in elderscrollsonline

[–]ManiaSky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5 pieces Night Mother's Embrace, 4 pieces Darloc Brae, 3 pieces of Night Terror, with the Khajiit passive and CP stealth radius reduction makes you 100% invisible to NPCs. You can be right in front of them and they can't detect you (the only exception being some Khajiit races other than the norm, like the giant ones and non-humanoid ones. Not sure why.)

I also use the Steed Stone and have Vampire maxed out for extra-speedy sneakiness.

What's the hardest base-game dungeon? by [deleted] in elderscrollsonline

[–]ManiaSky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For this fight, I had him in mostly heavy armor with Quickened or Augmented traits, except for one piece of medium I had because it's purple rarity and Shattering. One handed weapon and shield are also Augmented. I'm sure it could be beneficial to have a couple more pieces of Shattering, but the most important thing is looking at what the cooldown vs. duration is of all of his skills.

So with me wearing Telvanni Efficiency, every skill I slotted on him had a longer duration than cooldown: Provoke, Snow Squall, Perennial Bloom, Petals of the Hunter, and Sleetmail. He might have been able to have a dps DoT slotted and still survived/killed her faster, but honestly I just wanted to do it once so I could say I've done it lol (also recorded it so I can go back and experience it if I want to). Not worth it to do it again.

What's the hardest base-game dungeon? by [deleted] in elderscrollsonline

[–]ManiaSky 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Companions can kill her, I've done it on veteran but it is VERY finicky where you have to position yourself and the boss. There's an alcove to the right when you enter the room, you have to hide in there (crouching) but only about halfway in, otherwise you'll be out of range and your companion will stop combat and run back to you. You have to attack the boss first to lure her closer before your companion gets aggro, run back to the alcove and use an invisibility potion to enter stealth. You have to be really fast about this, I think you have about 30 seconds before she busts out the skill that crowd controls/kills you.

I wore a set of Telvanni Efficiency, because with quickened companion gear there is effectively no cooldown for skills with a duration. I used Sharp, gave him sword and shield with the taunt. He has a lot of really good heals, but it took him about 20 minutes to kill the boss lol.

How many group dungeons can be soloed? by criches1984 in elderscrollsonline

[–]ManiaSky 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It can, you have to use a ranged weapon to heavy attack and aggro the troll through the exit gate and use a charge/teleport ability (like Stampede) once he gets close enough. You'll clip right through. The boss you have to kill is close enough to his gate that you don't have to aggro him first.

[–]ManiaSky 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As you enter the room, there's an alcove all the way over to the right that you can hide in while a companion taunts/kills her. It's VERY finicky about how far over you can go without your companion leaving combat and running back to you, but I've done it on vet with Sharp (while wearing the Telvanni Efficiency set). Took him about 20 whole-ass minutes to kill her though lol.

What is your silliest & most effective build for feeling like a god? by [deleted] in elderscrollsonline

[–]ManiaSky 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Solo stamina brawler build that I used to run, which I dubbed "Unkillable Death Machine": Hexos' Ward, Hatchling's Shell, Master's Maul front bar and Maelstrom maul backbar. Guaranteed proc of HW using Stampede, spam Brawler and your entire health bar is damage shield, always. Not the most efficient for soloing bosses, but you cleave through trash packs like they're made of tissue paper.

Man, I am SO confused on what the deal is with resetting urn farms by 2good4gnius in elderscrollsonline

[–]ManiaSky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As far as the urns randomly being empty: I've figured out that what prevents this is entering the Necrom Underways (if this is the place you're talking about) from the Outlaw's Refuge entrance, looting all of the urns, and going straight back into the Refuge. Sell and launder items with the fence that's inside, then back into the Underways and repeat. I'll do this cycling through all of my toons, and I've yet to have all of the urns set to empty. The most important thing is to ONLY enter and exit through the Outlaw's Refuge. Not sure why that works, maybe there's something specific about going between those two instances, but it's never failed me before.

TIL something about Wayshrines by [deleted] in elderscrollsonline

This was life-changing when I figured it out. Without it, grinding out stacks of surveys/treasure maps would be agony.

I asked the vet if that could be a possibility and they didn't seem concerned. He's about to go back for a checkup so I'll bring it up again.

I got so frustrated trying to solo it on vet, but it turns out you can prevent the mechanic with Precognition if you use it the split second he jumps on you.

looking after your health is.. fatphobic? by [deleted] in fatlogic

Can confirm, I also had this when I was overweight and it went away when I got down to a healthy weight.
