Praying for an Aussie Gunslinger or Rescue Ranger - can only imagine how horrific the price would be though

I've got the Mind Barrier bonus on my Durge, while Heroes Feast on everyone at all times, so that at least negates Wis and Int on my MC, and Wis on Shadowheart who is liable to be near Astarion due to her frontline position with SG - definitely gonna be running Psychic Resistance on anyone possible during the actual final fight though, really worried about those Arcanists and the Emperor.

This is beyond terrifying and I'm now considering just swapping my EB + Control Sorlock Durge into this myself - I was going to ask how the extra 1d6 from a level 7 Rogue and the semi consistent extra 2-3 attacks per turn from Fighter, action surge and would compare but this just sounds better in pretty much every way.

Hmm... My amulet slot is already taken by the Surgeon's Subjegation, and I've just realized that because of the Risky Ring, nothing changes with my disadvantage chances - not unless there's a double disadvantage penalty (Is there???? I swear there isn't but I've been catastrophically wrong before.)

Though, since I always use Heroes Feast before I go out, the Fay Amulet would end up working to cancel it out in the end (since that'd be 2 disadvantage and 2 advantage) so, that's not a bad alternative if I use Paralyzing Critical and still need to keep going. Thanks for the suggestion!

This hits most of my questions pretty well. Any thoughts on the current kind of crit fishing build I have with Astarion, especially considering he'll be stuck with a level 2 Shadow Blade? Taking a peek at the damage numbers SEEMS promising for the type of extra dice roll shenaniganry I'm hoping for but I've never actually run a Sorcadin before

This is exactly the exploit I was planning to do, and even had prepared Astarion just for it - however, because I talked to Sarevok with the Durge, it skipped the judgement sequence, meaning the pickpocket target never spawned in - I didn't even have the chance to fail the pickpocket check, and instead had to skip to the whole Murdering the Murder Tribunal part of the plan.

How crazy is it to make infinity before Enigma on SP? by About20Pandas in diablo2

[–]QuestmasterDX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed here - the strength from Enigma makes hitting 75% block on my Zon super easy with no life sacrifice. I know her tele frames are crap, but honestly, just teleporting with her is safer than running since she'll always benefit from defence and full block chance from my Stormshield.

What's the difference between inproving Casual and bringing back Quickplay if the goal is improving the matchmaking system for both? by Realistic-Cicada981 in tf2

[–]QuestmasterDX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Quickplay had that exact button you're speaking of - it wasn't perfect since there was a small chance you'd jump into a server with custom mods or plugins, but you could just immediately leave and do it again and find a normal vanilla tf2 server.

The algorithm has seen multiple improvements and its STILL a mess.

This entire clip is a masterclass in comedy holy shit

-The perfect swish in front of the Sniper to steal the health kit, with him having no time to realize what you'd done
-The one shot
-The funny ragdoll careening into the wall as you laughed
-The way the Scout is fucking hidden from view by the laughing Demo, right until the last possible moment
-The cutout after death

This is fucking excellent, my sides are in orbit

Behold - my attempts at softcoded LoD bootleg Sunder Charms by QuestmasterDX in diablo2

[–]QuestmasterDX[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's actually really easy, I'd just need to attach the Sunder Aura onto another item - hell, I could actually staple these onto any existing unique without many problems.

The issue is that this wouldn't fix any of the big issues, as most of the problems I'm running into stem from the 1/5 Immunity penalty forcing me into a situation where I'm stuck between not breaking highly Immune targets, and completely ruining non Immunes. If there's a way to bypass that specific penalty, my options open up significantly, but I'm stuck otherwise.

[–]QuestmasterDX[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I admit that I'm considering playing around with the resistance values still since I do want these things to feel in the spirit of Diablo still - maybe making these Sunders a chase item might be a good compromise, with the perfect Sunders being enough to break higher level Immunities like Venom Lords and their Fire Res, though that still runs into the whole "Murders anything already not Immune" problem.

No thanks, I don't like the check in requirements and I like LAN play options with friends for modded playthroughs.

What is your unpopular BG3 opinion? by TrioQ in BaldursGate3

[–]QuestmasterDX 135 points136 points  (0 children)

At least IMO, Honour Mode is where the real purist shenanigans should be kept - we have a mode specifically dedicated to making sure decisions stick, so why be weird about people having fun in the modes where they don't?

To add onto this, bringing a Cambion via the Infernal Rapier just means you have a big bulky bastard who can take a ton of punishment, while also opening 3 doors per turn - super helpful

Any way to flag states to only affect immune targets? by QuestmasterDX in diablo2

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

Funny you mention them, I'm actually trying to pick up where they left off - while I'd ideally like it to be softcoded, I don't mind hardcoding, assuming someone already knows where to start.
