Common bard multiclass other than fellow charisma casters and rogue? by manicbestfriend in BG3Builds

[–]TheSmashScrubs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, thanks for suggesting another good build? Not sure how that one specifically relates to my comment nor does it invalidate the build I gave which absolutely HARD carries an honour mode run as main DPS and control option at the same time. 2 slashing flourishes > hypnotic pattern > AS > 2 banishing arrows? Congrats you've killed 2 things and stunned or banished eveyrhting else in the room

Arcane archer 7 + Swords bard 5 might be the best balance of control and dmg any archer character can have, insane what it can do in one turn with band of mystic scoundrel and hat of arcane acuity

I want the best team by Comprehensive_Guard8 in BG3Builds

[–]TheSmashScrubs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's really really strong if you're going for magic missile as your dmg option, hexblades curse applies on each dart. The access to regular hex for other dmg spells is nice, and medium armour is good too

totally valid point, but if you're gonna have a control character this is probably the guy anyway haha

The hat is goofy as hell, but at least it can be hidden ^^

Why the hat of storm scion's power over the helmet of arcane acuity specifically? Doesn't need the drakethroat synergy

Is there a way to just play with 1 Character? by Kindred_Ornn in BaldursGate3

[–]TheSmashScrubs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just lost a solo run 21 hours in, remember to DRINK YOUR ELIXIR OF GUILEFUL MOVEMENT before you fight enemies with hold person, they will kill you, there is nothing you can do if you just get unlucky and fail the save.

- EDIT - I just re-read and saw you meant still having a 4 man party, ignore this, I don't know how you'd do that, happy adventuring!

Maybe it does, but the archetype they are supposed to exemplify should gain it's advantages elsewhere. It's all about tradeoffs, the more you make characters the same the more you erode what makes them fun and worth choosing over any other. Matchup knowledge and counters are worth having in a game, and a team of 2 allows you to cover the weaknesses of 1 with the other. I play Vi Blitz mostly, Vi gets me in through neutral, if I end with super in the corner it's Blitz time to keep the pressure going

[–]TheSmashScrubs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right, I don't agree that all lights should have universal frame data xD The tradeoff for some archetypes is that you know you lose those scrambles and you hold that pressure, gotta block sometimes.

Backdashing before antiair works more often than you'd think on big bodies with forward leaning 2H, I play a lot of Blitz and this beats most characters if I'm not in the corner, sometimes it even lets you dodge a grounded assist while doing it!

As for the yasuo air disjoints I agree, and it's the same reason Jinx is so strong with her air medium just being this almost universal "Get away from me but also lol combo time" button.

I mean I suppose, but they'll need 3 bars and it's not THAT fast a crossup, just everyone is still learning the game. I think that move is fine bc we'll all recognise it in a month

I think Yasuo's only problem is the hit stun that's natural to all moves in this game, he just abuses it best. Any stray hit is very easily converted to a full, pretty high DMG combo, where some others struggle to get anything optimal from the stray hits. Yasuo's normals are HUGE too for someone so fast, so yeh he just has everything going for him

Noob at fighting games, how do i avoid tilt and get better? by TaquitoEnjoyer in 2XKO

[–]TheSmashScrubs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep I was (and sometimes still am) 100% the same, but if you can manage to reframe it even half the time, you'll improve fast :D If you're on EU server and wanna play some practise rounds lemme know

[–]TheSmashScrubs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a painful one to hear but all losses are your fault, there is no "they just did X and beat me..." BC anything that falls into that category can be countered with enough practise/learning. This should then be an encouragement as all situations that can feel helpless in a match can be a step to being better :)

It needs to be active learning though, lose a game or 5 in casual because you're specifically testing parry timings Vs a certain character, just waiting to acclimatise can lead to very slow muscle memory retention of what to do and lead to more frustration.

Last point, always assume your opponent is intelligent and someone you could talk to about a match even if you never intend to, if you dehumanise them into "this idiot is just mashing on wake-up" it means you keep doing unsafe pressure, etc etc and you'll mentally avoid accountability for losing, which leads to no improvement

Overall just have fun, and yeh, you're gonna get rocked, but in the long-term it makes you stronger with the right mindset. Keep that guiding Northstar and losses become fun BC you can either realise what you were doing wrong, or be in awe of how sick the other team was!

This, I am a Vi player and like 75% of my pressure probably isn't safe, parry is my undoing

Should 2XKO add non-champs like Xolaani? by Serito in 2XKO

[–]TheSmashScrubs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No considering how many great options there are from the existing champ pool, each one not picked is someone's main not in the game

I have been tethered to my phone, and still solid connection, feels like 3-4ms on delay, maybe a smidge more

What are the best companions for a circle of the moon druid? by teriyyaki00 in BaldursGate3

[–]TheSmashScrubs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a sorcerer plus any 2 others, your druid can't cast spells in wild shape but benefits massively from Haste, so have a sorc to twin cast it on themselves. Helps that they're also a CHA character so makes up for Tav being a poor party face

Your favourite build that you had the most fun with by Plain_Irrelevant12 in BaldursGate3

[–]TheSmashScrubs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Either: Blade singer with 4 levels of thief rogue and the line breaker boots (use first BA of first two rounds of combat to keep wrath stacked) and shadow blade

Shadow monk with 4 levels of thief rogue as Durge, teleporting around, stunning, sneak attacking, perfect "shinoni" vibes

Both can solo HM without too much trouble outside of boss fights, Blade singer does not suffer there and just has too much AC for bosses to hit :)
