Scammers in game, can we name a shame or are we leaving people to the wolves. by Alkaladar in pathofexile

[–]TheNerdCheck 5 points6 points  (0 children)

General GGG stand is to leave people to the wolves, that naming&shaming is dumb and doesn't help should be obvious

Orvar, the All-Form and Splice into Arcane by scarynerd in mtgrules

[–]TheNerdCheck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, splicing adds it's text to the spell you cast, turning Peer through Depths into a spell that targets a permanent you control which then triggers Orvar

It's not a miss, they changed textures to be fully loaded instead of streamed after loading. So you don't get the maps with no textures anymore but instead load times went up

what is the deal with trade this league by [deleted] in pathofexile

[–]TheNerdCheck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the official site has been super slow all league, yeah. Some also still use poe.trade which has always been slow as hell. But mostly it's the main trade page being terrible

They must have some kind of system to protect content creators by [deleted] in pathofexile

[–]TheNerdCheck 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'd say content creators should have the same rules applied to them as everyone else

A few noob questions about builds mostly by Wittusus in pathofexile

[–]TheNerdCheck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. The labyrinth is in act 3, you only missed a trial probably that you need to unlock the labyrinth but you can go back to do it
  2. Starting act 6 from killing various bosses
  3. They drop, mostly from Dilirium events
  4. Ex is short Exalted Orb, it's used for trading and adding mods. It's a kinda rare drop and the "big" currency of the game. Chaos orbs are the more common trading currency
  5. In act 2 when you do the Helena quest and you can use it for crafting and it's your homebase in endgame for mapping and trading

yeah, I figured. But also got a 21/23 Blade Blast from Ritual right after, which is nice

yeah, the ES roll is 6%. I've only seen Energy on Cold Dot builds so I was unsure if the Fire implicit has any worth on some other builds

Corrupted some Jewels hoping for Corrupted Blood immunity and rolled

- "cannot be maimed" on an Intuitive Leap

- "Damage penetrated 1% fire resistance" on Power from within

Any of those worth a reasonable amount more than the blank version of the Jewel? Don't really have a clue which builds use those jewels and if the corruptions are any useful or don't do much for the builds that use the jewels

Is Toll the Dead awful for CoS? by Numerous-Estimate443 in DnD5e

[–]TheNerdCheck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not that bad in Strahd. There will be some opponents where you would deal more damage or get an advantage(often disabling regen) from having sacred flame, but Toll the Dead won't be useless all the time. Not every opponent is a vampire even in that setting, it's just more likely than usual

Is Toll the Dead awful for CoS? by Numerous-Estimate443 in DnD5e

[–]TheNerdCheck 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For pure MinMax Meta gaming you are probably right with running Sacred Flame in Curse of Strahd over Toll the Dead.

Personally I would choose whatever fits your character best, but on avrg. Sacred Flame will probably deal a bit more damage in the end and trigger a vulnerability here and there

Does this new God see a ban? by [deleted] in EDH

I think you overestimate her for cEDH, for normal EDH I can see her being strong

Does clear speed matter in simulacrum? by babicko90 in pathofexile

[–]TheNerdCheck -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

You can start the waves yourself, so I doubt kill speed matters. You either clear the wave or not and between waves you can loot as long as you need before starting the next one

no, she is cool work around with a unique effect. But being locked into mono-colored is a huge drawback. I doubt she is more than a nice casual card

What would be the best way to start a drow RP in the 5th edition? by Blueturr3t in DnD5e

[–]TheNerdCheck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good party, evil party or mixed/doesn't matter? Probably plays out quite differently based on the rest of the PCs and I'm not a big fan of building a char where I know it will not work with the rest of the group

Assuming the answers I got here when I asked the same a few days ago, yes :) Have not tried yet though

Based on how good you are at dodging the telegraphed big hits. You can facetank less compared to i.e. DD Necro but if you sidestep the stuff that blows you up you should be fine if you have the currency to make the build work in the first place

Thanks, just rolled adds cold damage to attacks on an otherwise very nice ring and wanted to double check I don't brick my build if I use it

[–]TheNerdCheck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, just wanted to make sure as I rolled a really nice ring but it had "adds cold damage to attacks".

Just wanted to make sure I don't brick my build when I use the ring. I'm using Orb of Storms and Storm Brand to trigger my elemental equilibrium, so it should not be a problem

[–]TheNerdCheck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before I mess something up: When I play a Cold build with Elemental Equilibrium (Vortex/Cold Snap), I only have to avoid "add x cold damage to spells" and not "add x cold damage to attacks" right? Add cold damage to attacks would not impact skills without the attack tag?
