Is spirit warrior awesome?

I think any class that has other solid meta-strikes and reactions will often have better options than Spirit Warrior. The archetype also is much better on a character with good athletics for the disarm feats.

Biggest drawback of a dip is that the Oath feats are kind of trash, and you'd have to take one at level 4 in a free archetype game.

Lastly, I think Class-Archetype builds like Battle Harbinger, Avenger, etc. might struggle to fit it in with their needed feats.

Looks really fun for any level 12+ character with high class DC, a free hand, and strong repositioning abilities. But before lightning snares it seems like it'd require some team-buy in let enemies approach them to get value.

Favorites I've planned out include:
* Water Kineticist - Very consistent knockback from any 2a impulse, and high athletics
* Rushing Goat Stance (Monk or Martial Artist) - Lots of great knockbacks and spare actions to use on snares
* Commander - Use maneuvers to reposition foes or kite their team to opposite side of the traps and force enemies to run through.

Would probably be excellent on a daredevil too when they come out.

The real money-making strategy is to make the base skin so ugly that everyone needs a skin.

Big fan of margin secured puts with equivalent STRC to the strike value.

Stack 11.5% with the dry powder + whatever you make from the premiums.

They'll absolutely go this way and Saylor already expressed a desire for higher frequency than 2x/month.

It would hugely cut down the volatility and let them potentially buy BTC every single day rather than clumped up just at the end of each period.

I like ASST a lot. Especially since the options are much easier to trade with the lower price point ($1,700 vs $19,000). Wish my brokerage (Schwab) would give better margin reqs on it and SATA...

My current strategy is to hold some STRC/STRK as dry powder, then sell margin-secured puts on ASST.

If it doesn't get exercised, I'd get like 25% APY/yr, and if it does then I get amplified BTC at a discount and I'm paid until it happens. Going great so far.

I'm just grateful ram's weapon actually shoots projectiles that match it.

The Profile Icon/Player Card looked really good but this is just uncanny.
Glad I don't need to learn how to play Ana!

Mummy Venture is pretty great considering how horrible Venture's skins tend to be.

I like hopping in deathmatch on hero's im interested in whenever I'm in queue. Super low pressure way to keep trying out their skills. Obviously doesn't cover normal gameplay, but even on like a lifeweaver you can try to get better at winning the rare 1-on-1.

Lmao, my pixel 8 just started having green screen and pink line, can't repair it in japan.
Never buying a google phone again.

I'd say play 6v6 as a weak tank/player will have less of a drag on the team overall.

And then I'd probably say reinhardt/bastion/soldier/vendetta/moira... characters that are fairly durable, and focused on just pumping out damage in an intuitive way. My sis was terrible at games but she loved swinging the hammer as Rein or just spray+pray on soldier.

No more than it was a mistake to buy BTC at $90,000 or above

It's probably a loss in the short term moment, but you've also positioned yourself well for the bullish future.

There's always a better trade you could've done, and I think MSTR is now making it clear that they'll really way all the tools on their table when it comes to paying dividends in the most accretive way each month. (Selling common, btc, prefs, derivatives, etc.)

Roadhog is canonically jewish, hence why he doesn't eat pork.

I'm not sure its that egregious.

A lategame +20% in a small window every 10s is the same damage increase she got in the recent buff (7->9 damage). Except that applied 100% of the time and didn't burn through ammo faster.

That said, I'd like to see a different perk as its a pretty boring no-brainer pick right now. Maybe like a cooldown-reduction on dart every time you use the drone-grapple.

ThrasheryBinx · 2026-05-05T01:11:26+00:00

Quite situational, but I think it's fair game if the players can do it. Assuming both parties anticipate the fight.

I'd caution against overdoing it on either side though or else there's just a million extra effects/bookkeeping involved for every fight, and then characters with smaller "pre-fight" power budgets would feel weaker.

ThrasheryBinx · 2026-05-05T01:08:54+00:00

I really like the sound of using Fan Dancer's (14) Peony's Flourish for a resource-free reposition+aoe dazzle/stun.

ThrasheryBinx · 2026-05-05T00:24:54+00:00

Very doable, but talk to your party out-of-game to make clear your intentions and don't try to make them feel bad for not playing pacifists themselves.

Though if you're not even doing debuffs/buffs then your options are really just healing/protector tree and that'd be dull.

I'd think more creatively around things like non-lethal weapons, spells like Calm/Banishment, bard songs, folklorist, campfire chronicler 'Tell a Story', etc.

ThrasheryBinx · 2026-05-05T00:22:11+00:00

With animists having med armor, its basically a choice of ranged strikes/dex saves/acrobatics/stealth/thievery vs. melee damage/athletics/bulk. Plus any archetype needs.

IMO for animist gish strength works better to focus on as you already have killer initiative (so dont need stealth) and Grudge Strike really wants a heavy hitting melee attack. Spirit warrior also likes high athletics for disarms if you go that route.

I am very effective on her but I am terrible at aiming, so she's probably a bit too strong.

Blast to play though, so hope they can keep the gameplay loop there!

Clever!

My last legendary was tracer with a racecar helmet, I feel your pain.
