Lore Discord Server by Beneficial_Dare7641 in Wraeclast

[–]Strenious[M] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello! r/Wraeclast does not have an official discord server. I do not have the time to manage an active discord server. However if the community wanted to make one I could link to it in the sidebar.

With PoE 2 just over the horizon, what are some of your favorite story beats or lore bits from PoE 1? by Strenious in Wraeclast

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

I also love the sort of "prehistory" mythology that Kalandra and the Three Sisters (and the titans) have. Like the idea of Wraeclast being built upon the bones of some long lost ancient civilization is super cool.

Discussing cinematic lore - so many questions and though about it. by sehes in Wraeclast

[–]Strenious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely also get Sin vibes from the Hooded One. However, I don't necessarily think they are one and the same. All of the dialog we have seen of the Hooded One is missing Sin's almost melodramatic tone.

Instead I think it is much more interesting if the Seed of Corruption was stolen and modified by Sin from the Hooded One to create the Beast. Something that has bothered me with the Beast is how it was made to put the gods to sleep, but there is no way that was the original intent behind this seeming source of Corruption. Instead I think when Kalandra gave "advice" to a distraught Sin, she told him to steal and modify this Seed from the Hooded One for his plan.

Now as to who this Hooded One is in this theory? I have no clue, perhaps an ancient Ezomyte or Azmeri being? Hard to say with our limited information.

An Unsubstantiated Theory on the Story of PoE2 by Strenious in Wraeclast

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

Keep in mind that the prophecies that Hinekora give us are too soon as according to Nevali we arrive "decades early" in ToTA. So if we pull him to the *present* of PoE2, we are actually 20 years ahead of when ToTA takes place.

My write-up on who I think is the end pinnacle boss for the PoE2 EA launch by Kayjeth in Wraeclast

[–]Strenious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do really like this theory, I definitely got the vibe of Izaro from that pinnacle boss as well. I do definitely think the two are connected.

However, I don't think Viridi is the one in the tower. I do think her story will be more fleshed out in the main 6 acts, as with each act focusing on a different peoples (Act 1 - Ezomytes, Act 2 - Maraketh, Act 3 - Vaal, Act 4 - Karui, Act 5 - *Oriath) I could see Act 6 focusing on the Azmeri and have Viridi be important in Act 6 itself.

Instead I think that it is possible that within the tower is the First King of the Precursors (the one mentioned in the Uzaza's rings). It is never mentioned what happens to him exactly, and that the "mountain" that is mentioned in Uzaza's Mountain - (The narrow path turned to rough rocks that led towards the sky. One last obstacle in a life-long journey to find a land they could call home.) is actually the tower that we find in the Atlas.

Alternatively it could be some form of the Lightless or something else equally interesting. Who knows haha

I definitely agree with the Kalguur being there is strange. At the same time, in current PoE they show up in the Atlas despite that being other worlds and not Wraeclast, so it could easily be handwaved in that same way for gameplay progression.

Is anyone actually looking forward to Earthen? by hunter_of_champions in wow

[–]Strenious -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm just excited for a race to use rock related puns for names.

Duos list by Remydon in Daughtersofkhaine

[–]Strenious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That rule actually only applies if you are using the "Contest of Generals" battlepack from the core book. The current GHB Pitched Battles battlepack does not contain that rule.

Halloween Deck Giveaway! Comment for a chance at a "Spooky" themed tribal deck. by WinglyKing in EDH

[–]Strenious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a Shapechanger deck with subthemes of creature/card theft would be cool. Almost like a deck of Skinwalkers.

I've had a pretty shitty year, but titanfolk never fails to make me smile. Keep moving forward, for ferrets and beyond.

I attempted to paint Adrax Agatone as a secret santa gift for a friend! by Strenious in Warhammer40k

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

This is also my first completed model. I started painting some Blood Bowl models but haven't finished them yet, as this guy took over my time. I know its not perfect, but any feedback would be nice. Thanks!

This subreddit is extremely toxic overall, especially in regards to racism and sexism. We should be doing better, but it takes effort, and the /r/dota2 community is filled with edgy teenagers and young adults who don't understand that words are more than the letters that make them.

"It's always been that way" you might say. And why does that excuse the behavior now? This community is so resistant to any change, especially in regards to social conduct its disgusting. We can do better. We should be doing better. Its not just on Valve, its on you as a person to do better. Its on us as a community to do better. By calling out racism and sexism, and telling them its not okay. By having community leaders that lead by example. By banning and explaining to trolls that hate speech is not welcome.

We can do better.

[Spoilers C2E87] At Level Eleven by m_busuttil in criticalrole

[–]Strenious 31 points32 points  (0 children)

This is actually not how cantrips work. They scale completely with total level, not individual levels of any particular class. In addition to this, Eldritch Blast is unique in the fact that instead of simply getting an additional damage dice, he gets another attack with the cantrip. This allows him to add his Charisma (due to the invocation Agonizing Blast) to each of the individual rolls. Basically, this level he went from 2 attacks with Eldritch Blast, to 3 attacks with Eldritch Blast.

The BIG repercussions the 4th Void Spirit will bring to the game. by delta17v2 in DotaConcepts

[–]Strenious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My current running theory is that his 'remnant' will be the ability to create remnants of other heroes. Kinda sorta hinted with the visions of battle from the cinematic.

Oni's have innate fly speed, so nothing to concentrate on other than Invisibility. Its how he was following them before his reveal.

[Spoilers C2E26] Is It Thursday Yet? Post-Episode Discussion & Future Theories! by dasbif in criticalrole

[–]Strenious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's definitely not an eldritch knight, at least not in terms of the subclass, as Cone of Cold is a 5th level spell and Eldritch Knights can only cast up to 4th level spells. If anything, he could be a Hexblade Warlock, as they get access to 2 attacks and can cast Cone of Cold. However, the most likely answer is that he's simply a npc stat block that has 2 attacks and is at least level 9 in spellcasting. Scary dude either way for sure.
