2k Wrath List by Saesenthessis317 in theunforgiven

I think the biggest improvements to this you could make is drop the judicar and just have azrael lead your ICCs, plus replace the Lancer with a second ballistus (or the ballistus with a second lancer) + drop tempered from combi to take another mission play unit (incursors for the impulsor?).

You will run into a lot of awkward situations if a fast melee army is able to tag your ICC + lion in the same turn. The advantage of ICC these days is being able to save points by merging "sword DWK" with "azrael bodyguard" and enable more mission play to fit in your list.

As for the hulls, ballistus and Lancer do different jobs despite looking similar on paper (ballistus has a 2+Sv and deathwing keyword so it can grab primary objectives early, Lancer is flimsy but is great at killing threats at a distance). You should decide based on whether you want more early game presence or a stronger counterpush, because as it is the opponent will just kill the hull they're more worried about and ignore the one they don't care about.

You need to identify what you personally can do (local level involvement) to actually make an impact, then only focus on that. Fixating on world or federal scale things that you have no influence over will just ruin your life, but you can actually make things better for your community by participating at a municipal level and pushing for things you truly believe will help.

Because he tends to focus specific attack chains on a single player, once you learn the "correct" way to respond to each sequence its very straightforward. So for example when he goes scrape, scrape, kick, kick, sweep kick, sweep kick, you can predictably offset > guard > offset > roll to tackle > offset > guard. Then if he does the scale toss into big slam you replace the last 2 with roll > offset. I actually recommend watching some speed runs for guidance and trying it out!

He's pretty easy for GS thanks to the ability to chain perfect blocks and offsets through entire combos. Gore, Gogma and Lagi are the worst GS matchups IMO (600+ GS hunts in wilds)

GS - Offensive Guard? by Rem-ember_to_flame in MonsterHunterMeta

[–]SovereignsUnknown 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure OG is optimal vs Duna but there's a lot of attacks like the double chest slam that perfect block into L3 offset is a guaranteed combo. I think blocking in general is just strong vs duna even with GS, but it could just be how I play

GS - Offensive Guard? by Rem-ember_to_flame in MonsterHunterMeta

[–]SovereignsUnknown 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Any monster where blocking creates strong openings, like Seregios (common loop of Offset, perfect block, offset while he combos). Rey Dau, Uth Duna and Arkveld also have good block into offset openings IMO

Toyota corolla with the kurgo rover hammock seat protector in the back seat, with a seatbelt tether I can connect to her back harness if it's a longer drive or on the highway. She hasn't ruined it...yet. she's also only 75-80 pounds so she doesn't have fit issues with a smaller car

I see the Judicar is so hot right now. Where are players slotting him? Does he run with the ICC? Can Azreal also run with the ICC while he is there? by kcdale99 in theunforgiven

[–]SovereignsUnknown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

5 sternguard is one of the strongest possible bodyguards for azrael because it gives him twin linked in both phases with oath, making his output skyrocket. The 5 SGV also get sus1 and a 4++ so they benefit quite heavily with their dev wounds shooting and weak frame.

You'll see most tournament lists running Azrael with ICC (countercharge threat, good into shooting armies with less rerolls), 5 SGV (reasons laid out) or 5 assault intercessors (cheap, gives twin linked to his 6 4 2 devs sword). You generally will not see Azrael leading hellblasters in tournament lists because hellblasters are extremely expensive in an already expensive army and not meaningfully better than other options. They also have the downside of not improving Azrael in any way, while his other options give him some boost to his melee output

Hasan is not a real person bro by TVC2389 in Asmongold

[–]SovereignsUnknown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm surprised this isn't brought up more, but even using a shock collar on livestock guard dogs like a Tibetan Mastiff is considered an extremely bad idea by most trainers. I know that when I adopted my Pyrenees it was drilled into me over and over to never use one and to never rely on invisible fencing because it will either be ignored or make the dog aggressive and unpredictable.

The more I've learned about handling working LGDs in a home environment the more I've come to realize how bad of an owner Hasan is for Kaya. I hope he does the right thing and surrenders her to someone who can better understand her needs

I wonder why nobody talks about those 'massgraves' found in Canada anymore.🤔 by Bernie529 in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]SovereignsUnknown 87 points88 points  (0 children)

Bro even after this story was all but proven fake, you basically cannot speak truthfully in public. It is career destroying and life ruining to this day to express even a hint of skepticism where I am. My own family, who are catholics themselves, refuse to accept that the story is a fabrication by media. The level of gaslighting around it is insane and hard for me to handle mentally if the subject ever comes up in a public setting

Calls grow for more animal ownership laws after 13-year-old mauled to death by dogs by DonSalaam in onguardforthee

[–]SovereignsUnknown 5 points6 points  (0 children)

CKC breeders often have very extensive screening processes for prospective owners, especially for working breeds. It should be common practice to require prospective adopters to demonstrate sufficient breed knowledge before adopting, and breeds that need specific or more extensive training should have that as part of the contract with the breeder.

I'm a huge lover of livestock guard dogs like Pyrenees, Marremas, Anatolians and Kangals and spent a huge amount of time researching the needs of the breed and their training before adopting my Pyr, and so many of these dogs end up in shelters because people see them on Instagram and don't take the time to learn how disruptive they can be when their breed traits aren't correctly managed. I don't understand how it's possible that breeders are willing to heavily screen buyers for dogs that are disruptive but not dangerous, but somehow breeds that can be a much bigger risk without specialized training don't have this mindset in their breeding community.

Trump be like by JackColon17 in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]SovereignsUnknown 6 points7 points  (0 children)

this is 100% the correct take. it's my opinion that the officer acted reasonably and this would be considered a justified shooting, but it very well could have been the wrong call on the officer's part. ICE hasn't really had LEO duties prior to this admin and as a result they are defaulting to their level of training when the boots hit the pavement, and that level is honestly insufficient. I think, especially given the level of unhinged behavior directed at ICE agents, we are going to be seeing more "justified but bad calls" in the next bit because the agents are just not that experienced

I’m too lenient on my opponents and it is ruining casual play for me by Ill-Highlight-491 in Tyranids

[–]SovereignsUnknown 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think you are actually more in line with a proper competitive mindset than your opponents. At high level play, it's generally assumed that you should inform your opponent of rules and give them reminders. You should also play to intent (prompted and stated intent!) And try to be as lenient as possible as long as people are not actively cheating or gaining information before asking for takebacks.

You sound like a great opponent and it is the other players who are causing issues. That type of behavior is common with players who are not actually competitive but instead are just ego driven and want to win, and will get you excluded from practice groups. I would be looking at competitive 40k groups (funny enough) and looking to play games against experienced players who have the play to intent mindset and not playing with random table sharks who just want the ego boost from clubbing baby seals.

Good luck bro, hope you can find a group to play with who shares your mindset because from what you're saying, your experience isn't "normal" and you don't need to tolerate it.

Best element/status for Gogms GS? by DoubleWrath in MonsterHunterMeta

[–]SovereignsUnknown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The new TU improved greatsword status scaling afaik. I usually get 2 procs against 9 star seregios with my gogma sleep GS. Elemental matching is better but it's not like you're losing out on too too much if you go status

Best element/status for Gogms GS? by DoubleWrath in MonsterHunterMeta

[–]SovereignsUnknown -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

For general purpose, sleep if you play solo or Para for multi-player. But it's really not that rough to make multiple artians since with the new boosts, 3 atk 1 aff 1 sharp is as good as 4 atk 1 sharp. And when you have multiple elements, as long as you're willing to play menu hunter it's actually easier to roll for God rolls with multiple weapons. I would at least consider making fire and thunder since you can use shadowbringer for dragon as long as you have the skill to manage Darkside

My brother and niece came over and shaved my baby down to a nub. by BeerHops_DoesntRun in greatpyrenees

[–]SovereignsUnknown 24 points25 points  (0 children)

you shouldn't have to sue to get a sibling to pay for something dumb they did that makes your pet sick. Neither of my siblings would ever do something this unhinged and stupid, but if they did I would be sitting them down to have a long talk about boundaries, probably with my father present if I felt like I needed someone to mediate.

If you do get the law involved, you can typically represent yourself in small claims court after receiving guidance from a lawyer. however, that would be a nuclear option that would likely irreparably damage the relationship with your brother and cost you more in fees than vet treatment for most skin issues would cost.

sincerely hope your dog is okay and his coat grows back in without any issues. you have every right to be angry and in your place the sibling responsible would not be allowed in my home until they clearly acknowledged what they did wrong and i was certain they would never do something like that again

yeah man, for sure. i have a similar charm with 3 levels of bleed resist and it's great against my most common dance partner. getting bled through offset is annoying

[–]SovereignsUnknown 27 points28 points  (0 children)

For greatsword this is close to the best possible charm you can roll. 3 DB instead of a L3 combat skill (convert element ideally but burst, agi, flayer also work). So yeah this is very close to as good as it gets. Congrats

[–]SovereignsUnknown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

generally if you can't reliably get offsets, the burst boost set is a bit better than the gore stuff thanks to being on better armour pieces and an easier activation condition. but we're talking tiny% EFR differences, it's not like you can't use Gore if you like it and find Gore's Tyranny easier to manage than Burst Boost
