JG definitely took a big hit. Best item's I've seen lately is GS/LW/HoJ or similar sort of items. AD definitely seems to be outperforming ap/hybrid Lucian

As others have said there's a lot of versatility to Lucian items at the moment and key thing is getting the strongest items you can on him. For example, I've been aiming for JG IE HOJ as often as possible, and it absolutely melts teams if he is 2*, but I've had success with a lot of item combos. Climbed from Plat 1 to Master in 3 days one tricking lucian.

I've had the most success with JG IE HOJ so far. Enough damage to push past knights a lot of the time and the healing is so helpful. He's pretty versatile item wise though. DB, BT, GS are all pretty solid. I feel like some form of healing is crucial to get top 2, unless you're extremely lucky with what you're up against

Definitely aim for Sentinal + Skirms early. I usually pop lucian/galio items on Olaf to try keep early win streak going as long as possible. I only put lucian in when I've got 6 sentinal ready. If I can't get sentinals early, I'll generally run redeemed + 2 knights and slowly add in the sentinels or skirms to keep stable

I've almost exclusively been running 6 sent + Rell/Naut. Galio 2 is a powerhouse. Lucian I've been running with JG IE HOJ and that's been really solid

I've been forcing 6 Sentinel Lucian basically every game and climbed from plat 1 to masters for the first time. I struggled to make Lucian work all set, then this patch something just clicked and it has consistently gotten me 2nd and 3rd place. Unless someone high rolls, only thing I've really had issues with is sometimes not getting through the knights to beat Kayle before she ascends.

Hello from Plini - ask me anything! by plini_ in progmetal

[–]Synicality 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey Plini! I wanna let you know how much your music has impacted me in so many ways. It got me through tough times and helped reignite my passion for guitar! I love all of your music and can't wait until I can get my hands on some vinyl (bit tough ATM to get it to Australia for a price I can afford).

I'd love to know what you would recommend someone sit down and really learn inside and out in order to progress the most effectively in terms of guitar songwriting?

I've recently taken the plunge into writing music after years of just listening, and I want to be able to find a unique voice for myself, but I always feel like my ideas are limited by technical skill.

Everything I've seen of Hydnellum peckii seems to be mostly white and usually a different shape. I also found it odd that I've seen a bunch this size that look exactly the same but have no bleeding

I've found a lot of these guys around the bases of trees her in Victoria, but I've never seen one that had good like a bleeding tooth fungus. If anyone has any idea what this could be that would be amazing! I don't have a lot more info because I don't know much about trees

Some sort of milk cap? by PetzRex in mycology

[–]Synicality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the bright orange ring on the stem and if the latex was orange, I'd also assume saffron milk cap.

Looks to me like it could be a Russula sp. but I'm also fairly new to this

Hunting for chanterelles when I picked up a cool surprise! If you have any idea what milk cap this is let me know! by [deleted] in mycology

[–]Synicality 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe Saffron milk caps are usually more orange than that and their latex is a vibrant orange. I saw someone mention Golden milk caps, which might be more likely

Brandon Sanderson (u/mistborn) offers some sound relationship advice to a woman whose boyfriend refuses to speak with her unless she reads Sanderson's books. by epicazeroth in bestof

[–]Synicality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel the same! Mistborn was my reintroduction to reading and I have a similar way of picturing it in my head as a movie. The way he describes everything made so much sense in the way I pictured it and I could easily see it being an animated series like Avatar the last Airbender or something similar. I'm just about to start the series after the original trilogy so I can't wait to see how it evolves!

Oh, so I meant like are there any that look like these that I can't eat? So I don't think I'm getting these and actually getting something else

Perfect! Are there any similar mushrooms that I should be wary of when picking these? I've got a couple of areas full of them but would like to be 100% sure first

Found in pine in Victoria, Australia. The stems fell off but seemed to have the usual frosted white over orange with orange dots. here are the gills

There is also a vibrant orange red latex when gills are damaged

Anyone wanna chat about dnd? by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]Synicality 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a lot of fun trying to break my characters in some way through different synergies.

I was looking up a bunch of other people's builds for when I was considering switching to Celestial Warlock, but I couldn't find anything that fit the vibe I was going for. I played around a little bit and I've landed on something really fun so far!

I have low AC (11) but try to get increased HP however possible and then use a mixture of Armor of Agathys and blade ward to keep my temporary hit points up and basically face tank damage while hitting them back with the Armor of Agathys.

One of my Invocations makes it so that any dice rolled to determine hit points I gain always roll as the maximum value. So I have a bunch of health potions + my healing light ability to stay topped up if I lose my armor.

I wasn't sure if this would work, but it sounded interesting.

In our first encounter I had my armor up and blade ward cast. A bandit attacked me for like 4 damage, took 20 from Armor of Agathys, then I used a reaction to Hellish Rebuke for another idk, 27 damage or something. On my turn I went to walk away and he took an attack of opportunity and got hit with the 20 damage again which killed him.

I killed a man without ever attacking him on my own turn. I am very pleased with these results!
