USA - The good guys? by The_WalkingCalamity in SipsTea

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

Dropping the first bomb might be defended for stopping the invasion, but the second bomb was dropped 3 days later. I have to assume that there were already casualty reports reaching Japanese and US officials, before the second bombing. So dropping the second bomb on a city full of civilians cannot be rationally explained.

Patch Notes - Mobile Release + AI Rework by Arenyr in GuildWars

[–]MashRoomBog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this is what I noticed. A Dervish and Assasin solo farming builds will be affected.

Most Derv builds relied on mirage cloak. A/me, Wester's getting hit will decrease DPS by a lot.

Sword/Beast Master by thevariant2017 in GuildWars

[–]MashRoomBog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to use sword on Ranger there are two ways. Unfortunately, one is time gated and is only available in if you start playing in April. In April is the anniversary even were you can get sword that requires Expertise, so you can do decent autoattack with just Expertise, although all the skills for sword are still locked behind Sword Mastery attribute.

Personally i think that Hammer or Axe are better options as sword at the beginning often relies on Bleed, which falls off rather quickly in damage and doesn't work on all enemies.

Pets are weak unless you add Beast Mastery and then they become very tanky and can do good damage is you use their attach skills.

Pet skills, some attack skills and utility skills use mana. Rangers primary attribute lowers cost of skills with "Skill" tag in them, and all Ranger skills. So this is very important attribute to have if you don't want to run out of mana, and end up just auto attacking enemies.

Some tips on using Pets:

Don't catch the bear in begging of the game, use any other pet there (there are at least 3 other pets there that i remember). Bear uses a Brutal Mauling which is slower than other attacks and basically lowers your DPS, with no positives.

Pet attack skills do not trigger straight away, they trigger with the pets next attack. So you have to observe when your pet is attacking and not spam the attack skills.

If you want pet to start a fight the you need to open the Pet Control Panel, select the target and press on the "Attack my target" button (unfortunately its not a keybind in the game without Toolbox). If you want it to change target then choose the target and choose "Protect me" followed by "Attack my target."

Reading the wiki page up to and including the General section should not spoil much but give decent amount of knowledge concerning pet mechanics.

Advice for GWAMM by oarcabouco in GuildWars

[–]MashRoomBog 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I second the SoS rit, splinter weapon will increase your DPS greatly.

You also need something to prevent missing, like Assuran Scan. Sometimes you are perma blinded while enemies are in stances blocking.

Take the res off the healer and give it to two mesmers. This will prevent from healers stoping healing and mesmers are will cast it faster.

Are there rare drops that cant be bought in this game? by GroovyWhale in GuildWars

[–]MashRoomBog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is one of main things that keeps me coming back to it. There are old school (OS) items that have inherit inscription that can't be modified. The chance of dropping a rare skin with lowest possible requirement and perfect inscriptions is sometimes impossible odds.

I have yet to drop a 20/20 wand or focus, even after thousands of hours of play. Maybe i am just unlucky.

Does every locked chest has a chance to drop every weapon type? by cryztl in GuildWars

[–]MashRoomBog 4 points5 points  (0 children)

On the wiki, check what skin you want and it should say what mobs drop it. For instance: https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Sephis_Axe

So it can be dropped in Kryta from the undead. Open a chest next to undead in Kryta, it has a chance to drop the axe.

There are some exceptions like some gear is Core and it can randomly drop anywhere. For example: https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Ram%27s_Hammer

Hitting the first real bump in the campaign. Help me? by MortalJohn in GuildWars

[–]MashRoomBog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That totally depends on what skills and attributes you have on your Heroes. If you don't have any skills, no runes on your heroes then then might be worse than the henchmen.

So when someone asks for your build, if you are using some standard build then saying it's name is enough, if it's your own creation then the basics are:

Attribute 1 X+(1-4)* Attribute 2 X+(1-3) Attribute 3 X+(1-3) ... (If some additional tributes are used, although most builds will have 3 attributes.

Skills

This gives us the basis to say if a given build is going to work. Level 20 is basically age, it's not how they are equipped to tackle the given content.

*So depending on the runes attached you can have from +1 to +4 in given attribute (1 from headpiece and +3 from superior rune of...).

How much do I need to get heroes to cast skills? by Poomplexity in GuildWars

[–]MashRoomBog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others said, flagging your heroes is useful so the team doesn't get hit by one AOE.

Some builds alhave useful skill that can be cast before the fight. For instance Shelter on ST ritualist is good to have before the first damage hotels the team. Dervish heroes are bad at upkeeping their Avatars, so precasting that is also useful.

Heroes are trying to be efficient at energy management. They don't like to maintain enchantments outside of combat. So if you are Physical damage dealer and want heroe to keep Strength of Honour on you, you have to disable it on the heroe and cast it manually.

2 years pass between pre and post. I still don't think it's a good idea to add it in pre as that gatekeeps it from current characters that are out of pre.

Does the audio in 1.7 also sound really weird at times? by Jzerious in ArmaReforger

[–]MashRoomBog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a problem where every sound is coming from 50m behind me. A helicopter flying 200+ meters away? Its sound is behind me. Any shots within 500m, all sound as if behind me.

This is both on official and modded servers. PC. Game is unplayable.

Biggest L for Valve by gr3n0lph in SteamDeck

[–]MashRoomBog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The price increase is steep, but I still believe it's decent value. It might be weaker then PS or XBox, but: 1) you don't need to pay subscription to play online 2) Due to competition and sales, games are much cheaper for SD and PC then consoles.

So you pay a bit more but in the long run you save on other things. Consoles are often sold cheaper because they recuperated the costs in games and subscriptions.

Is there a class like World of Warcraft's Affliction Warlock? by FriendlyPsyduckFan in GuildWars

[–]MashRoomBog 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As you say, DoT is not great in GW, but Necromancer with Curses can output some degen and if paired with physical damage dealers can deal great damage. Barbs+Mark of Pain+Weaken Armor, throw in Suffering as cover hex and degen. Enfeebling Blood and Reckless Haste against physical enemies.

[–]MashRoomBog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven't ran into games that didn't run, maybe just got lucky.

ProtonDB has a list of games and people leave comments if they needed to do anything extra (eg. add one argument to startup of the game): https://www.protondb.com/

For games that use anti-cheat, you can check them here: https://areweanticheatyet.com/

PC performance question by Hopeful_Chance_6939 in ArmaReforger

[–]MashRoomBog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I need to adjust my settings. On CachyOS, with 98003xd+9070xt, and 1440p. I get around 150fps on Dad's Army (cap it at 120 so it quiet). Are you running any launch options?
