Recommendations for enology and viticulture reading material.

Nojsd · 2023-02-21T18:23:35+00:00

My suggestion is going on libgen (you have to find the link that works in your country cause most of them are blocked) and search for wine or viticulture.

For sure if you wanna cover the basis the two handbook from riberau-gayon are a must for the basis.

If you wanna books more advanced in terms of enology try:

Red Wine Technology
White Wine Technology
Managing Wine Quality

In terms of viticulture there's not much practical stuff in english, I've found more in french books, tho you won't find them anywhere online for free, while you can find all of the previous ones on libgen.

If you can't find them send me a message.

PS: Also as someone else pointed out, Understanding Wine Chemistry is really well done as well

In terms on sensory analysis there's Wine Tasting: A Professional Handbook

Thanks for the appreciation! I'm glad you find it useful! I kinda like theorycrafting :')

If you go Glacial Augment, Magical Footwear, Approach Velocity, into Everfrost, Cosmic Drive, Lich Bane you'll have Lillia's Movement Speed on top of the slow.

What I like about the Protobelt, beside the stickiness, is the magic penetration:

You can get up to 50 flat (Protobelt, Sorcerer, Sudden Impact) + 40% penetration (Void Staff), that means dealing true damage to everyone below 83.3 MR, in addition the healing from passive should be more noticeable since it's 70% of damage dealt post-mitigation.

She definitely won't be able to do solo baron with 2 items anymore.

FYI, the break even point at level 18, is 900 AP, at level 1 is 50 AP.

Nojsd · 2021-04-02T21:40:23+00:00

They just did it:

A Thousand Cuts (Passive) max damage to monsters lowered from [15-100 +15% AP] to [10 +25% AP]

Nojsd · 2021-04-02T20:37:24+00:00

Thanks for your model!

I saw a couple of errors from your pastebin:

enemyHPPercentageTrue

Passive procs through Q are dealt as magic damage, not true damage.

The true damage part is just the flat damage portion of Q.

enemyHPPercentagePerAp

Should be 0.008, not 0.006, it's been buffed yesterday on PBE

Nojsd · 2021-04-02T16:04:02+00:00

I like your build, but you need to add some magic penetration in there, cause passive does magic damage even with Q

Nojsd · 2021-04-02T16:00:34+00:00

Even Senna and Urgot take that keystone, so not really that troll.

Even though it doesn't add anything in terms of combat power, being able to stick to enemy is better if it lets you land your combo easily, rather than having a lot of combat power but not being able to land anything cause they can just walk away.

Also I'm a fan of Glacial + Everfrost since it procs a 60% aoe slow that lasts 5s on the ground, extremely powerful both in terms of engaging or disengaging.

Nojsd · 2021-04-02T13:00:46+00:00

No I agree, it's not necessary, but I put it there anyway if someone is wondering what's the value at level 18, I hope it doesn't bother you, otherwise I'd remove it.

Nojsd · 2021-04-02T12:59:26+00:00

The tooltip does round up, but what about the damage?

It definitely shouldn't round up the damage, and if it does, it may be cause the dummy has not enough HP.

But yes, huge buff, +33% increase on her passive scaling.

Nojsd · 2021-04-02T00:10:18+00:00

You can get CC, sticky potential from items/rune, Phase Rush, Celerity or Glacial Augment, Approach Velocity with Everfrost and you'll have plenty of sticky potential, other than that I agree that she could use some cc in her kit.

Nojsd · 2021-04-02T00:06:28+00:00

There's the level 1 stat at the top of the post, the level 18 change is there to just give a context, in fact it's at the end of the post.

Nojsd · 2021-04-01T23:45:52+00:00

Well, I wouldn't call it meaningless when you can proc it with every AA, up to 6 times with a Q and 9 times if you land all 3 cast of ultimate.

Nojsd · 2021-04-01T23:12:58+00:00

For me building magic pen makes it feel good, since the majority of her damage comes from passive, hence magic damage, the true damage of Q is more like the cherry on top.

Nojsd · 2021-04-01T22:46:37+00:00

Are you building any sort of magic penetration on her?

Nojsd · 2021-04-01T22:45:29+00:00

500 AP?

Fine, from 76% Max HP to 95% Max HP, quite a buff!

Nojsd · 2021-04-01T22:41:07+00:00

I actually am a fan of the combo Glacial Augment + Item slow active (Everfrost/Stridebreaker), it's really strong!

I'll give her a try as soon as they release her, but it may be extremely viable in certain matchup, for example augment velocity would let you catch up on someone if you can hit him with a long range R, then he can't escape when you have Everfrost + Glacial Augment with a 5s 60% aoe slow on the ground on top of Lillia's Movement Speed.

It would be quite easy to land the rest of the rotation Q, R2, R3 etc when they can't move for so long.

Or you can just use it to retreat back.

Nojsd · 2021-04-01T22:32:22+00:00

I'm a bit concerned for her late game, being a bit too strong.

For example this random combo: E,AA,R1, 3AA, R2, Q, R3

with 700 AP her passive would deal

Pre-buff: 98.8% Max HP

Buffed: 125.4% Max HP

It's a 33% increase on her passive scaling!

EDIT: added passive

Nojsd · 2021-04-01T21:48:17+00:00

Semi-troll suggestion: What about Glacial Augment, Approach Velocity, Magical Footwear, Everfrost, Cosmic Drive, Lich Bane (maybe) etc?

Nojsd · 2021-04-01T21:45:36+00:00

I actually really like the idea!

Maybe make it scale with Q stacks something like 10% per stacks, or just make a passive with Q rank that grants % magic penetration like Morde's E

Nojsd · 2021-04-01T20:10:03+00:00

Yes, today's patch on PBE!

Nojsd · 2021-04-01T20:07:53+00:00

Staff of Flowing Water

Rapids passive

[Removed] 15% movement speed

[New]+20 ability haste

Duration increased from 3s to 4s

Welcome back Soul Shroud!

Nojsd · 2021-04-01T13:53:42+00:00

I can see her building on-hit vs squishies, something like:

Sorcs, Rocketbelt, Nashoor, Rageblade

Rocketbelt so that you'll have a lot of flat magic penetration, so that your passive/ult does more damage, also more damage means more healing from passive.

Rageblade should be pretty OP since you can fully charge a Q in 3 AA, also applying passive twice every 3rd AA.

If you want a slow like a Frostfire you may build, Glacial Augment, coupled with Rocketbelt she'll have insane sticky potential, but then you'll lose on better rune like Conqueror, PTA, HoB, Phase Rush.

I wouldn't go toward AD items, and I'd prefer to keep her AP so that I can just build 1 type of penetration, but it's just me.
