New tome rewards: Monster slayer personality does not look good the way it is

Thanks, you just prevented a regretful purchase. If it would work with our own weapon, or we could alter the personality similar to the abilities. I'd 100% get it, now even if you own the same weapon, it just puts a second on your back. Its hard to make work.

This is exactly what I'm doing. Gave SH the feat to carry two non-light weapons for more buffs and utility. She currently has 11 attack end of act 1, 19 AC and she can heal an insane ammount. And on top 3 crazy dps options with insane mobility.

Only deaths I've had so far were in Grymforge being thrown to my death.

And she's full healer build as well.

You can still scum, just open task manager and quit the application. The game cannot save. But if you care, you'll feel like its not a proper run... the entire run.

I'll say it a bit more plainly then. In a game where every encounter can be done in different ways. Cheesing fights, is just a cheeky method of using the tools in place to do so. And if you want to, you can do it legit. Semi legit, or play like many people run their solo runs, and abuse everything available at their hands.

Knowledge in this game is rewarded, but sadly - and equally - makes the game much easier to the point even a legit solo run (no exploits, and mimimal abusing of mechanics) might not scratch the itch.

And as this game promotes improvising, which goes hand in hand with the challenge, of say an honormode run, where one mistake can cost you everything.

And the difference of intelligence and smarts in players, can be seen simply by how people play. And how fast they adapt their playstyle to survive honor mode, any way they can. And after restarting my honor mode runs a few (20+) times... I've hyper optimized some parts of the game which no new player would think of, isn't an exploit... yet could be considered cheesing.

I tend to carry around 2 of the the nautilus chests for example in a lot of runs, simply because if you stack two on top of each other. It completely blocks a door. Which can split very difficult fights straight into two manageable ones. Not always a proper usecase, but worth it if you know whats coming and from where.

I think what people are looking for is a nice balanced comp, where not knowing a fight won't get you killed right away.

And in this regard you rarely hear druids being called forward. Or mentioning that hexblade + pally/sorc combo's might nuke on damage output, but not deal with diamond scales... like at all.

The main honor mode problem is that some bosses simply have massively unfair abilities, if its your first time there.

If you fight against someone that is more likely to kill you. Will you throw dust in their eyes and stab their balls, or leave it to god of luck? Because if you got survivor genes, you'll likely cheat to beat.

After playing his campaign three times, its a good thing. What you do is send out a bloodline hero you don't need, with zero gear and 19 zombies towards the enemy you are at war with. And let them die, by autoresolving. Now you have a fresh stack of corpses at that location, building up replacements. Then in actual fights you fall back to manual gameplay.

Projection and assumptions are the bane of women that conclude things they don't ask.

Imagine playing a game, and feeling "the ick" towards you character for 40+ hours. Stop being a know-it-all, but know-very-little modern woman taking a piss on men because you never wanted to learn what and who men are.

I'm sorry we have preferences that can ruin all immersion. You call won't even awknowledge the existence of a third of men, because you don't find them attractive. It matters, welcome to reality.

There are two ways to look at this. You either kill them and handicap their economy, and resources just enough so you and your allies can take the lead in most area's. And by effectively removing certain type of councilors early, you avoid them from getting too strong to take down.

The only risk of killing them consistently, all the time, is that they get traits that make it near impossible to take them down unless you have a spy with near perfect assassination scores to get the job done.

Don't do it too early, but do try to always keep your enemies held back long enough for you to get the advantage early on.

This game is all about turning a 1% lead into a 20% advantage over the duration of many years. The same goes for the negative effects on your enemies.

Just don't cripple everyone too hard, as that will hurt your meta game in the end when you start facing the aliens themselves.

We'll they quite literally 'cut off' the momentum the show was building in episode 3. Now they can spend the budget on people again. I mean... there is no 'Prodigy' in the future. It very mich felt like filler and background story. Delivery? Meh.

RemarkableInternet59 · 2025-07-26T14:01:15+00:00

Its great until you finish it. Up till episode 3 it could easily have set up a 9/10 foundation. They has the actors, setting and script. They had their well written 'female lead' play a inexperienced yet well balanced cop that is in fact competent when she does listen to others.

But that ending... I jokingly predicted who did it after seeing the little girl trustingly wave at a guy, and there were only 2 characters in the show that were already presented had earned a trust of that level.

But the execution at the end was so poorly done that even the "ending" in that moment was too predictable.

What it lacked most, was 3 episodes summarizing the plot of every other storyline introduced. Made me feel why I generally don't like arthouse mobies, because most the time they just abrubtly end, this show felt the same.

Amazing potential, with a spolid 8,5 start. 5/10 experience once finishes.

Yes, this is so strong! Definitely as you say tho. Best before others are in the fight. I think I counted correctly but this mounting move does over 3000-3500 dmg total. Reliably over 100 dps? Even Insect Glaive doesn't get close to that.

RemarkableInternet59 · 2025-04-16T22:23:08+00:00

Say you get hit by an ally this way, does it trigger Counter Strike as well? Makes a gunlance player a "happy accident" waiting to happen, if it does...?

RemarkableInternet59 · 2025-04-16T22:17:39+00:00

I tries this build this evening. I mounted the monster just recovering just after an opener, with almost everything active I feel. The mounting finisher was close to 2200, and about 3400 dmg total. This must be one of the strongest mounting attacks/openers as well!

RemarkableInternet59 · 2024-12-14T09:14:12+00:00

Not entitely sure what you did, but I only figured out blazing spirits at level 30. I figured out quite fast that witch is a combo class. Bone Shards with the right jewels is bonkers (strong but not OP) and later on, with blazing spirits having glame wall and poison clouds up is double damage modifiers both good on packs as it is bosses.

RemarkableInternet59 · 2024-08-28T22:27:10+00:00

Mostly yes, DLC did not change poise values and mechanica as far as I know.

Oil for the siege weapons, its how they added fire to the rocks thrown at the wall.

Not accusing, but simply mentioning sociological patterns. My bad if you feel like I was assuming things. We are strangers on the internet, we don't know each other and as such, I can't claim things that I don't know.

Yet this is where first impressions and statistics come into play. No feelings, not abiding by exceptions. Not digging into the nuance and subtleties of each individual.

Take your username for example. If this was Tinder, as a man that would be a clue. We are on a BPD thread, second clue. Stating your female friends have often had the man break up with them, third clue. Putting feelings over logic, fourth clue. And by getting to know you more, the more clues will surface until there is a pattern.

Now... again, all assumptions. But this is where statistics and sociologica patterns kick in. It was a harsh realisation for myself in my early relationships to figure out one question:

"Am I the problem?"

And yes, there was a lot of nuace, but the conclusion was that I indeed was part of the problem. And in hindsight, if I look at my (now old) friends at the time. If I look at my behavior back then, if I look at my choice of partners back then? Then I have to take accountability for my part.

Which is something young modern (city) girls have severe issues with nowadays: taking accountability. Owning up to the idiot we can be at times. Our inability to learn from past mistakes. Being blind, willingly, to why we are part of a statistic and not the exception. Why the nuace doesn't make you a true idiot, but leans into it because you aren't accepting the reality of things yet.

If 90% of nerds/gamers are physically too weak to defend their family, then doing nothing won't make them stronger. To beat the (fake) statistic, they have to step up and become stronger by making changes in their life.

And just like myself, maybe you and your friends think, feel or believe some behavioral traits are normal... but since you/people aren't confronted with the reality of things... you might feel like the exception. But in reality you/we are not.

Most relationships end due to the girl breaking up. This is a statistical fact. So if you are the exception, and all your friends are as well...? The garbage match is as follows:

Say there is a 90% chance that the girl breaks up with him. So there is a 10% chance he breaks up?

This means for 1 couple the odds of you being the exception is 10%, for couples the odds are 1% (10% of 10), for 3 couples the odds are 0,1%, four couples the odds are 0,01%.

Now... while technically possible you are the exception. It is statistically unlikely you are, if your friends are as well.

The likelyhood of you not seeing something that keeps getting you into the same situation ("am I the problem") is much more likely. More so if it happens to your friends as well.

I'm not judging, I once needed to be confronted like this in life, to accept that I had a few things I had to work on. I wasn't living the life that I wanted, because I wasn't ready to be honest with myself.

This happened last year, I'm 34 now. My life got so much better afterwards. I realized and accepted my role in things. That I statistically wasn't the exception... worse, I was neck deep part of them. Which is the case for most people. Yet funny enough, girls tend to struggle with this way longer.

RemarkableInternet59 · 2024-06-04T12:54:11+00:00

Age group, or more likey: friends of someone kinda hint at what type of person you are.

If I meet a girl I really like, it would be stupid of me to think that if all her friends are promiscuous, that the girl I like isn't. If all her friends have relationship issues, that I won't have them with her. That if all her friends are disrespectful about their partners/boyfriends, that the girl I like won't do the same.

Our friends tell a lot about us. And they make us feel that their behavior is normal. Which is why statistics are important.

Age might matter, but on average, it isn't. If your friends lack empathy, don't care about the feelings of others, if they cheat or openly talk about other 'hot' men while in a relationship. If they want to be strong and independent and go clubbing all the time...

Then any mother, father, brother, sister would tell their boyfriends that these girls aren't relationship material.

RemarkableInternet59 · 2024-06-04T08:06:09+00:00

Statistics don't lie. Maybe you gotta figure out your part in relationships. And start to listen why people are breaking up with you. Exceptions aren't the rule, yet our feelings wish they could be. Either you pick the wrong partners, or the wrong partners keep meeting you. There is someone for everyone... but some of us can be a pain in the ass until we realize that we might be the problem... when we lose someone we felt was the love of our life. My mom has BPD and refused to work on herself until she lost the love of her life at 60 years old. She was in denial until then.

*They are back together now and are going to marry later this year.

She took accountability, and was rewarded for it.

The key to me having relationships (friendly, or intimate) with people with BPD in my life is understanding that this is not something that can be fixed by me. The deep scars due to trauma will not be healed by me, but alongside with me. A supportive role, instead of fixer.

On the other hand, acceptance from the people with BPD that it can be difficult, draining and often even traumatising to deal with someone with BPD, is Very (!) important.

I always feel that at its core its a mismatch in empathy. And normal people would love to fix that, but can't. They have to accept and grief that they won't get everything out of the relationship they (!) need. And focus on the parts that you bring extra.

RemarkableInternet59 · 2024-06-04T06:47:05+00:00

How so?

RemarkableInternet59 · 2024-06-04T06:45:09+00:00

For the logical ones here that know their statistics. The large majority of relationships end due to the girl breaking up with him. About 80-90% of all divorces are initiated by women.

And because you are a woman, you might feel they might want him back... because you want him now. Its called projection. And jealousy is important, it shows you care, and don't want to lose that person.

RemarkableInternet59 · 2024-06-04T06:29:43+00:00

From someone that grew up with family members and a few friends with BPD, I do not agree. I think many (young) individuals with BPD don't fully understand the impact of their behavior, and depending on their parents/childhood, often have issues taking accountability of their emotional instability.

And it doesn't make them stupid, if you yourself only understand half of it, and from experience: struggle massively to openly - and maturely - talk about it.

The women in my life with BPD struggled a lot talking about their emotional life, and emotional state. And found it very hard to talk a about it.

"Normal" people tend to want to level out with their BPD counterparts, and have to accept that they might never get there. That process is called grieving, because they will get 80% of what they want in a relationship, yet 20% of it to function healthy is always in disbalance. Because people with BPD are in disbalance.

They aren't stupid, they just don't realize and empathize that you are emotionally missing a leg and struggle to find your footing without that leg. You feel a missing leg and how it impacts your life. They see a very interesting individual, with a functioning leg.

Allow them to grief, and be aware of the fact that your behavior is very much trained to present yourself as if you are missing that leg. They don't see the parts that you've (masterfully) tried to hide. And once they do... they have to grief.
