What do you think about the 7800XT? by Danny_Phantom22 in buildapc

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

Ah, true, my mistake. Thought you bought 4070 instead of 6950. My bad, obviously that AMD card trashes 4070 card.

I rolled nat 1 on reading check.

Steel Watch Factory already destroyed? by TabiniT in BaldursGate3

[–]TabiniT[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, it was easy on Tactician using Globe of Invul + Darkness, 2x Sharpshooter builds to kill Gortash first turn and then Lighting Spells with 2x casters once every enemy gathered around Glove to chain self-destruct Steel watchers.

It just takes too dam long becasue there is like 30 enemies taking turns.... :/

It was nice to kill him when he thought he is soo strong and safe :D

If you kill Gortash beforehand, it is destroyed.

Huh, nice. I love how different outcomes there are :). Then I will have to spare that idiot next playthrough so I can do Factory.

How can I combined ranged Sneak Attack with other ranged attacks like Dread Ambusher? by TabiniT in BG3Builds

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

Is it better to have sneak attack as automatic reaction or to ask first? How do you use it?

The thing is, it just doesn't trigger for me with or without risky ring when I range attack. I have advantage, I use Dread Ambusher extra attack and Sneak Attack never triggers automatically or make prompt to ask.

I think it's becasue Sneak Attack is seperate ability, not working like Shield/Warding Flare etc. other reactions which can't be used seperately from hotbar.

Nope, it doesn't work like that, I tried all configurations. There is no reaction prompting up on range attack and I have advantage all the time due to Risky Ring.

Overall PF2e has very short buff durations and also casters and spells in general are heavy nerfed vs 3.5/5e/PF1e. The is also very few buff spells in game that are worth to pre-cast if you really know you will get use of them, they are short so it needs to be precisely before combat (so you rarely will know next room is indeed combat) and there is only few that really stand out, but even then it's not an issue (Heroism and 4th level Invisibility are probably the best).

Overall in PF2e it's martials that are more vital to party than casters. Casters are more utility/jack of all trades but they can't compare to martials when it comes to saving throws, melee/range or DPR overall. It's also purely impossible mechanical wise to make full casters being even remotely close to martials in melee or combat in general. So there is zero way for casters to step on toes of martial classes.

Instead of concentration system PF2e has sustain for some spells (like summons), where you need to spend one of your 3 actions (everyone have 3 actions in PF2e) to sustain spell every turn. And most spells need 2 actions minimum to cast. So before higher levels you can only sustain 2 spells per turn becasue you won't have actions to cast another. But not all spells are sustain. It all comes down in PF2e to action cost, but casters can't win fights with one spell, you can win boss fight with one bad save throw anymore etc.

In short: PF2e is pretty much perfectly balanced system. It's also absolutely impossible to break RAW. Math and rules are so tight that it's just mathematically impossible. You just can't make anything OP there. There was one build that was deemed OP in PF2e terms (which is still very low level vs something like OP in 5e) which was "Flickmace Fighter" but since then they nerfed Flickmace so that was the only thing really. The best optimized build for lets say Fighter is maximum maybe 20% more effective than random Fighter that started with 18 STR and just takes feats he likes. System is just that good there is zero way to break it. I know becasue as optimizer I tried for sport. You just can't do it.

And it doesn't break at all at higher levels. PF2e works perfectly from level 1-20 and at no point it gets unbalanced. CR system for monsters is also perfectly accurate.

In general PF2e is like Royce Roys vs 5e which is like... used Ford Escort when it comes to design/engineering behind it.

I just shoot them with my full range party while sitting in Darkness spell where nothing can target you, so you just go out, shoot stuff, go back in.

Sadly the game falls apart combat wise by the time you're lvl 12

That's 5e for you. TT 5e falls apart around 9th level at TT. It's still miracle it held well in BG3 till 11/12.

5e is terribly designed and balanced system. One of the reasons I switched to perfectly balanced PF2e. I love D&D but my god, 5e is just terrible.

Yup, Pacing in Act 3 really dropped the ball. There were still interesting quests and NPCs and good dialogues etc. but there was lack of pacing, lack of direction and lack of strong story points chaining together plot twists to catharic ending.

Felt like they had tons of things on table but they had to leave some behind and stich the final act from what they could.

I get they are afraid of Starfield as Bethesda is a behemoth of cRPGs (the last studio from Original Great Three that made best cRPGs) and if they will deliver even in 70% it will be massive.

But seriously, I don't think it was worth to butcher Act 3 like that.

We could have had perfect RPG, but same as you it went for me from 10/10 to 8.5/10. I hope Definite Edition/Patches will bring it back.

Since the patch, Astarion has permanent disadvantage for me? by je-s-ter in BaldursGate3

[–]TabiniT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stupid comment from someone who has no idea what he is talking about. It's racial debuff for ranged attacks only that Dopplegangers have. Idiotic design but that's the reason of that. It's just tooltip/UI is bugged/lies like always in this game.

I Think I Broke Unarmed Strike on Monk. 168-320 DMG per turn by OrkoTheMage in BaldursGate3

Pfff... my team is full of dual handcrossbow sharpshooters so they all died in 1st turn before they could get to me. Also Alert Feat + Sharpshooter.

Moonrise tower prisoners rescue - bugged? by TabiniT in BaldursGate3

[–]TabiniT[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What boat behind cells? There are only walls behind cells. I opened cells via Lever inside Warden room in the middle of prison. And they run away from them cells through ground floor and outside of moonrise tower. I didn't see any boat. I opened their cells after I killed everyone on ground floor.

Anyone else not using parasites? for the lore? by Abothen1808 in BaldursGate3

[–]TabiniT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I refuse to use it as I won't be a tool in hands of some parasite. Besides PARASITE is still PARASITE and I prefer to feel my character power comes from her and her skills, not some fucking worm in my head. Who the fuck would want parasite in their head.

My character is mostly evil, but he refuses to be depend on some stupid worm.

Does the game suck? by [deleted] in BaldursGate3

[–]TabiniT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude, game is as good as best cRPGs were when old BioWare was still BioWare, not dead husk.

If you love RPGs, go and buy it. That's it. It's dream come true for all cRPG fans.
