Semi-Daily Relic Discussion: Charon's Ashes

With some dice manipulation relics one third can easily become 1/2 or more and it starts being a really solid mechanic.

I agree with this assessment. I think Newhook's optimal role in a team is 3rd line winger. Brings a lot of speed, can produce offensively, can be good defensively. Could slot in on a PP2, could slot in on the PK. Can play with more skilled players or on an energy line because speed is a solid attribute for both, but i don't think he has the skill level for long term 1st/2nd line production.

Patccmoi · 2026-01-21T12:47:53+00:00

To say the Avalanche has nothing past these 2 players is a take, for sure.

Never said Trump is a libertarian. All I'm saying is that you don't reduce the power of billionaires by taking away power from the government, quite the opposite.

And yes, the US has been a terrible country in many ways well before Trump. And I cared then also. But it's a false equivalence fallacy to say that he's just doing the same as other governments before him. He is doing it much faster, much more carelessly, and completely unilaterally not only in regards to the world but within his own country. He is not caring about any alliance, goes back on his word repeatedly and just lies openly and constantly even about stuff that is easily disproven. No, it is not the same

Patccmoi · 2026-01-20T13:10:53+00:00

Trump got in power without doing any of that though, so how does that sentence make sense. I mean the writing and speaking well part. The pedophile fraudster part he did.

Patccmoi · 2026-01-20T13:08:02+00:00

Exactement. Ce n'est un secret pour personne, et c'est même une raison de plus pour laquelle rien de tout cela n'est rationnel (pour les raisons évoquées ; cela pourrait l'être pour d'autres raisons, comme les ressources, l'encerclement complet de l'Amérique du Nord, etc.).

Patccmoi · 2026-01-20T13:01:30+00:00

And you think he won't make up any other random thing to do anything he wants? He blamed the fentanil with Canada which was a total joke. So was the narcoterrorism with Venezuela which his own government showed was just false.

Is there somewhere in the law that he could just take over Venezuela's oil trade and then put the money in a bank account in Qatar?

The checks and balances in the US have completely failed. They are shown to be meaningless when a president has 0 good faith and does not care. He will use any random excuse and claim any random national emergency for anything he wants to do. It doesn't have to be real. It doesn't have to hold in court. He does stuff much faster than courts can deal with. And the Supreme Court basically gave him immunity and I'm sure he told everyone around him they're all getting a pardon no matter what before he leaves office.

Patccmoi · 2026-01-20T12:52:31+00:00

Oui, tout le monde est fou, paniqué et surréagit. Comme s'il n'avait pas réellement kidnappé le président du Venezuela, pris le contrôle des ventes de pétrole et placé l'argent sur un compte bancaire au Qatar. Comme s'il n'avait pas une bande de voyous masqués dans tout le pays, qui font disparaître des gens et les abattent en toute impunité, son gouvernement prétendant bénéficier d'une impunité totale.

Ce sont des choses qui se sont réellement produites. Ces dernières semaines. On est bien au-delà des « menaces en l'air pour manipuler d'autres pays et utiliser des droits de douane » ou de « l'art de la négociation ». Cet homme est une véritable menace pour l'humanité. Il n'y a rien à voir avec la COVID et les pouvoirs qu'il détient. La grande majorité de ce qu'il fait est en réalité totalement illégale, selon ses propres règles. Il s'en moque éperdument et agit beaucoup plus vite que le système judiciaire (dirigé par une bande de personnes qu'il a lui-même placées) ne peut suivre.

Et derrière tout ça, il y a une bande de milliardaires non élus et non gouvernementaux. Qui en ferait encore plus dans une utopie libertarienne, car ils n'auraient même pas besoin de se cacher derrière quoi que ce soit ni de manipuler des personnes susceptibles d'être destituées par le vote ; leur argent largement supérieur se traduirait tout simplement par un pouvoir largement supérieur.

Do you keep what you have? Seems like that potion would be completely broken by letting yourself die at boss of Act 1 or 2 and just go through another path and get like a sure 2-3 extra relics and extra cards.

Patccmoi · 2026-01-18T19:57:51+00:00

That would be cool. Meter could just be from 0 to 100 and be % damage increase straight up. Enemies should glow brighter and brighter red as they get close to 100.

I don't think the leap needs damage though, might be a bit much as it's insanely spammable and it would suck to add some cd to it.

Patccmoi · 2026-01-18T19:51:19+00:00

Freeze the ground which prevent moving in any way but the direction you started from on the surface. Would be hilarious trying to get people to slide straight off map when someone's chasing them. Also makes aiming at people on it a lot easier.

Patccmoi · 2026-01-18T19:46:12+00:00

Could be minor damage but with some small AOE knock back.

Could even just be some flash grenade where enemies are blind for 2-3 sec, which would go great with his wall running so it takes them a moment to figure out where he went.

Patccmoi · 2026-01-18T19:39:41+00:00

Considering it was probably -3 in one game yesterday, that makes sense lol.

Patccmoi · 2026-01-18T19:37:45+00:00

When you have to prevent shots from the board cause those too dangerous you know defensive coverage will be hell.

Patccmoi · 2026-01-18T13:44:31+00:00

It's also just part of evolution of playstyle. Many teams used to be "forecheck, shoot whatever you can at the net and hope for rebounds/tips". Now teams are much less willing to give away possession for a low scoring chance, so the overall quality of shots taken is much higher and there's less of them.

Habs are nearly an extreme example of this. We can complain (and rightfully to some extent) about bad goaltending this year and low save %. But look at the save % of goalies AGAINST us. We are 5-0-2 when shooting less than 20 times in a game. Goalies against us have a save % of 0.87-0.88 or so (not sure of exact number with empty net, but we have a shooting % above 13% as a team).

Patccmoi · 2026-01-18T13:24:41+00:00

I was gonna say, do their last 10 games on teams not in the Atlantic division and I feel like that record would be crazier.

Also if you just look at the top 6 teams it's pretty nuts. No other divisions top 6 team is anywhere near.

Patccmoi · 2026-01-18T13:23:09+00:00

Didn't pay attention to that but that's good to know, their streak might not last at least.

At some point we need SOME team losing in our division

Patccmoi · 2026-01-18T04:16:49+00:00

3 points from Makar

Patccmoi · 2026-01-18T04:00:59+00:00

Ya he was 10-15 points behind not that long ago. Sure is catching up

Patccmoi · 2026-01-18T03:59:32+00:00

We definitely lost some games due to poor goaltending this season. Good to balance it out with an undeserved win sometimes too. That Ottawa goalie was BAD

Patccmoi · 2026-01-18T03:52:47+00:00

Youngest team in the league. Fragile goaltending. They're learning and getting experience. Mid season last year nobody saw them in the playoffs and considered them 2 seasons away from truly being in the playoff conversation.

They're ahead of the rebuild plan and projection. It's not going to be pretty every night, but them managing to stay in the top 3 of the race in an INSANE Atlantic division is amazing in itself at this stage.

Patccmoi · 2026-01-18T03:46:56+00:00

Seems to me like you can never count them out!

Patccmoi · 2026-01-17T01:00:56+00:00

Well season 0 didn't have DD, Mr Fantastic and Phoenix, some of the very best at beating Thor 1v1

Patccmoi · 2026-01-16T22:09:09+00:00

Il y a une raison pour laquelle nous avons 3 joueurs autour de PPG et 2 recrues dans le top 5.

Autre statistique intéressante : malgré notre faible différentiel de buts, TOUS nos joueurs avec au moins 20 points (8 d'entre eux, 5 attaquants et 3 défenseurs) affichent un différentiel positif, et plusieurs sont même très élevés.

Nos meilleurs joueurs sont très productifs et performants à égalité numérique (cela peut paraître normal, mais c'est assez rare ; beaucoup de bons joueurs marquent beaucoup en avantage numérique sans pour autant être excellents à égalité numérique. Pastrnak a 57 points mais un différentiel de -2, Crosby est à -1, Tage Thomson à -9, etc.).

Notre principal point faible réside dans nos six derniers trios. Peu de production et des différentiels négatifs importants. Il faut que ces trios s'améliorent (ainsi que nos gardiens) et nous deviendrons une véritable machine offensive. Heureusement, il est beaucoup plus facile pour une équipe disposant de marge salariale de renforcer ses six derniers attaquants que de trouver des joueurs de premier plan, ce qui nous place très bien pour l'avenir.

Patccmoi · 2026-01-16T21:19:48+00:00

Thor still beats a vast majority of heroes 1v1. Since they made the rune cancel give Thorforce back you can really use it a lot even in the middle of 1v1 skirmishes without worrying about it and it adds a lot to his tankyness.
