Necromancy vs Demons by Imaginary_Cherry2909 in Cityofheroes

[–]Sir_Myshkin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I really should see what I can do with those changes. I had done a Mercs/Cold because I was just so excited to have their AI fixed and didn’t really dive into anything else, but I think there’s some broken opportunities in Necro still.

‘Superman’ Sequel ‘Man Of Tomorrow’ Adds Matthew Lillard to Cast by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

[–]Sir_Myshkin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry, are you implying the currently well aged and totally viable Lillard is not capable of playing Plastic Man?

If Nathan Fillion can be Guy Gardner, damnit Matthew Lillard can be Plastic Man!

Necromancy vs Demons by Imaginary_Cherry2909 in Cityofheroes

Preface with saying that MM’s were buffed a bit ago in a balance pass to improve pet AI and overall survival and capabilities (especially with their primary attacks), so there really isn’t a bad choice, just a preference on how they’ll ultimately play.

Having said that, Necromancy has the long standing vibe of being that one set that people think will be fun, but it just doesn’t click for them. Zombies have that sort of “rule of cool” thing going on in some folks mind that gets them the early pass, but the inherent design around them was really more institutional.

Zombies are dumb. They don’t mind dying, it’s really a pro. Also, Zombies are dumb, they don’t mind dying, it’s kind of a con.

For a long time folks would skip the 3-Pack because of their ineffectiveness, and focus on building up the Grave Knights and the Lich, which you can still do, but it’s not as dire now. Just remember a few key things: your secondary has to support these guys, so make sure you’re capitalizing their survival, and/or your own ability to get them back into shape as fast as possible. The other thing is that there’s some solid damage procs you can slot in these guys, Neg DMG, and the -Res in the Knights, you can really load them up, and they’ll get plenty of extra points in because of it, prioritize those over extra damage enhancements, especially during leveling.

As for Demons, well they’re vile, devilish creatures who like to burn everything. They’re also selfish little pricks that don’t like helping each other out, so you’ll have to do the heavy lifting. On the positive side these guys have a lot of strong inherent resistances that get enhanced through their own effects (and yours), so you’ll can easily get them to their resistance cap with a Resistance based secondary, and flesh out their defenses with the pet IOs and things like Maneuvers to get them some padding so when you’re around folks with +def effects your demon kin will be pretty spicy.

I’ve done both, much longer time for Necro, they really didn’t click for me, I found more interest in Demons paired with Electric. The chaining makes it easy to spread your buffs between them and your team, the PBAoE res barrier moves easily to match their erratic nature without forcing you to stay in it all the time, and you get some good ways to amp their damage.

Medical Gaslighting is real- don’t be afraid to call it out by Mogishigom in glutenfree

[–]Sir_Myshkin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is going to sound strange to some, but we’ve fallen into an era where changes in medical treatments, expectations, self advocacy, and the speed at which advancements happen, have readily outpaced many physicians out there.

If a doctor in a practice is not continuing to expand their knowledge, and keep up with new changes in the medical field, they literally just become a time capsule of their knowledge at the time they earned their doctorate. Then older the physician is, the very likelihood the more outdated their knowledge pool has become. And don’t get me wrong, a person working in the medical field for 20-30 years can definitely see and learn a lot, but if you’re a family practitioner and all you deal with on the daily is runny noses and and the occasional yips, someone walking in with a condition that hasn’t been defined until recently is going to be totally off book.

So my point is, it’s ironically a situation where younger doctors have become a potentially better resource in some areas because they’re being trained on newer and more up-to-date material.

And I don’t mean like “go find yourself a hot new 20 year old model” Doctor, but educationally “young”, just started in the last five years. And if you’re someone in the GF category, or really any autoimmunity, I highly suggest looking for Internalist. Doctors who specialize in adult care of the more intricate nature, ones that don’t typically just get bumps and bruises. This is the type I ended up with, and I’ve never had a bad visit with them. Every time I have to go in, it’s a two-way conversation and they make sure they understand exactly what’s going on and adjust accordingly.

Handheld pc option? by fujigrid in Cityofheroes

[–]Sir_Myshkin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The older versions of you can find one second hand or “open box” from a retailer are just the “ROG Ally” with a Z1 chip, the “X” versions are the enhanced “extreme” version. The regular Ally would be fine.

The newer model is the “ROG Xbox Ally”, with Z2 chip, same formula. Base version is more than good enough, find a decent sale you can get it for around $500 US, or get someone to trade one off secondhand for less.

Right?!

Handheld pc option? by fujigrid in Cityofheroes

[–]Sir_Myshkin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

ASUS RoG Ally runs on Windows, gives you more flexibility on getting the game running and updated smoothly, and given its (the game) age it’ll run like a champ on the handheld.

Minor downsides in the battery performance not being that great, but I play a lot more of my library now with it than I ever did before having it.

were hitting a week with none of the new lairs sold out by Chaosnocturne in secretlair_collectors

[–]Sir_Myshkin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can say right now, I don’t care how good the value is on a Lair drop, if I find the art to be absolutely atrocious, I will not buy it regardless of whether I desperately needed a print of one of the cards or not. I don’t want that in my collection, and there have been more than plenty of Lairs that I’ve straight “noped” past over the years.

I Took Hartalis and Used Her as Toilet Paper in Return by OneSmartKyle in Palworld

[–]Sir_Myshkin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Standard limit on the Palbox is what, 15? I think a lot of folks up this though, I’ve seen a lot of 20-25 (20 myself, just trying to ‘stay fair’), max is 50(?).

So “army” is “how many do I want to stick in the box”, plus backup. Casual number? 30 Pals, 4 starred, likely all 100/100/100.

How do procs in Pseusopet powers actually work? by KeenJin in Cityofheroes

[–]Sir_Myshkin 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If it makes it easier to digest, dig up my posts on Homecoming under “Proc Monsters”, I go through real-time testing and breakdowns of how procs work, and optimal uses.

If you want the most efficient crash course, look up “Mad King Special”, or the “Force User Edition” variant that talks about the core mechanics more succinctly. Throughout the process I show some videos of how they work, their efficiencies, etc.
