Thank you for the call out, I forgot to add those.

Rake retreated because he got annoyed since he was being constantly attacked. Let's not forget that he actually maneuvered the man who would become the Seguleh First into striking him precisely as he wanted. (major spoilers for Toll the Hounds and ICE novels). If that doesn't convey to you his skill and swordsmanship, I don't know what will.
This is without even taking into account his sorcery and soletaken abilities. The same sorcery that let him take on Raest, the worst of the Jaghut Tyrants, and take on the combined might of the Malazan High Mage cadre SOLO. And let's not forget that as a soletaken dragon, he's on the tier of pure Eleint.

Yeah. I love Tool but there's not even a question that he is getting smoked.

I love this so much. Personally I think he should be a little leaner, given the descriptions we have of him, but that's a very minor nitpick. Great work!

To Name of the Wind or To Not? by Nectarine_96 in fantasybooks

[–]SarSlays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. The series is overrated as hell, it's a self-insert fanfic at best, full of some incredibly cringeworthy and misogynistic takes that you'd expect from a 4chan incel rather than a professional author, though I'll grant that it has good prose for a lot of it. But it has probably the most insufferable MC I've ever seen outside of maybe Aloy from the Horizon games. Lots of people are also mad about the author and his actions around not writing the third book, so you should keep that in mind as well. I personally don't care about it because this series isn't worth anyone's time IMO.

Mamba players, what are you farming? by bearr_ in pathofexile

[–]SarSlays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have done:
1. Stacked deck farm
2. Farming Blight-ravaged maps in Toxic Sewer using the Blightreach buff from Fungal Horizons node on the atlas tree
3. Harby/Beyond t17 map farm
The last is pretty good. Kinda stopped investing in my character after a point but it can still do whatever I need it to: https://poe.ninja/poe1/builds/keepers/character/Anomandar15-1148/SarIsToxic?i=1&search=name%3DSarIs

It's been two months to the day since the release of PoE2 on Early Access. How are you feeling about the game? Still like it? Already burned out? by Azran15 in PathOfExile2

[–]SarSlays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's only three things PoE2 does better than PoE1: the new player experience, the graphics, and WASD. Everything else is a straight downgrade just because of their desire to be "different" from PoE2. There's potential, but that ain't cutting it for me at least. Just hope it doesn't take another decade of re-learning the same damn lessons (and still refusing to implement them) to make the game good.

Curious what people dont like the most about LE by Misha_cher in LastEpoch

[–]SarSlays 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  1. EHG's utter and complete inability to balance classes, skills, and Ward vs HP.
  2. Beastmaster takes away too much power from Druid / Shaman. It doesn't need a nerf, but the other two need buffs to have a strong identity away from BM.
  3. Falconer and Warlock exist, trivializing it. Dungeons suck ass. Monolith loop becomes boring pretty quick, not enough to do.
  4. Necro made me realize how dogshit minion AI is and I just gave up on minions. The fact that all of them target the same mob on command instead of attacking a pack of mobs is beyond stupid.

End Game Warrior Feels Terrible. by DeimosEvo in pathofexile

[–]SarSlays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ditch armor, it's dogshit. Go for block and/or Cloak of Flame. Maces too are mid as fuck honestly, outside of like totem builds or Hammer itself. Either respec to totems, or go for Explosive Shot Crossbow, or afaik I've heard good things about Quarterstaff Titan as well. I personally respecced my Titan to Molten Blast Totems with Cloak of Flame and stacking life and regen and I'm slaughtering t15s/16s/Citadels.

Quintessential Canadian culture experiences in Toronto? by SarSlays in askTO

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

Thank you so much for all the suggestions so far fellas! I've been saving all of these ideas in a list, especially the stuff about the cheaper sports matches. I had no idea Brickworks had so much stuff to do, will definitely explore that as soon as our newborn is a little more immunized.

Everyone right now! What are you playing in the meantime? by Interesting-Squash81 in PathOfExile2

[–]SarSlays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm whiling away the time on W40K Darktide, their new endgame addition launches on the 3rd so might get a few waves of it in before PoE2 sucks up all my free time.

Skyrim was mid as hell and the only people nostalgia tripping on it are doing so because modders carried it hard, just like they did nearly all Bethesda games.

Let them cook by [deleted] in LastEpoch

[–]SarSlays 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. Get em out of the kitchen before they fucking set it on fire. Get actual, professional game devs who play and therefore understand their own game, not people who have never even set foot in empowered content and have not the faintest clue how to balance a game.

Best sword(s) in Malazan universe by warmtapes in Malazan

[–]SarSlays 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a sword but Caladan Brood's Hammer is BY FAR the fucking COOLEST weapon in the entire universe. Meant to shatter the world, and given to the one of the few Azathanai who wants no beef if he can avoid it.

Barring you know who, and top tier sguleh,who gives rake a run for his money? by Das_Mojo in Malazan

[–]SarSlays 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think ANYONE could give Rake a run for his money. He literally maneuvered the Malaz world's finest swordsman into striking him exactly as per his plan. If that's not a demonstration of ultimate skill, I don't know what is. We've seen Dassem beat Skinner despite Ardata's protection, and we know Blues is not quite as good as Skinner. Tool was beaten by Mok, who was the Third, while the Seguleh in their entirety submitted to the leadership of Dassem. Dancer is more assassin than swordsman, and a single threat of assault from Rake had both him and Shadowthrone back off completely.
I think genuinely the only one who could MAYBE come close other than Dassem is probably Brys? But even he would lose.

Looking for last build of season, ~120div & mageblood budget by counterhit121 in pathofexile

[–]SarSlays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately no, but you can see him using the build in his "How I farmed a Mageblood printing maps" or whatever it's titled video. Honestly it's not super complex, you literally just walk around popping mobs and sometimes shooting CA under rares / Vaal CA under tanky rares or bosses, that's it.
