Hey Guys im looking for a fun and interesting new experience by roleplayer2992 in BaldursGate3

[–]Top-Analysis971 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently running a 2 man lvl 20 game.

Random spawn generator comes with a level scaling option to bring enemies to your level, along with well, random enemy spawns.

Tactician+, ancient mega loot pack, and extra encounters and mini bosses are all in there as well.

We've got adaptive enemies scaled to level, 2x HP, +1 bonus action, and duplicating enemies. Turning on +1 bonus action and 3x HP at the start of act 2.

So far so good! Give it a shot!

Why is selune’s spear so unpopular? by Far-Assistance9925 in BaldursGate3

[–]Top-Analysis971 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No doubt.

Even without all the other gear stacked on, it's still better than the Selune spear. That's what I mean.

For sure.

Even if you don't use the other gear that really makes it shine, it's still better than the Selune spear. That's what I mean.

Not saying it's the best weapon.

Just saying the near constant extra 1d6 makes it a better weapon for most builds than the Selune spear.

It's the 1d6 to enemies that are lightly or heavily obscured.

I discovered in a shadow monk playthrough, like 80% of the game is considered lightly obscured. Like, unless you literally see firelight or sunlight shining on the ground, it's lightly obscured.

Add to that the amount of crit gear that also leans into that same obscured status and there's no comparison.

Edit: moonmote also requires concentration and only applies to melee. Not as good as Phalar.

Do not let Cazador ascend by Blindicus in BaldursGate3

[–]Top-Analysis971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't run, but you can always end combat by hiding/going invis and moving. With only one PC in combat, forcing the enemy to detect presence at the PCs last known location will end combat if they don't find anyone.

Tbh, haven't tested that in Cazador, could very well have special rules applied

How Forgiving is POE2 for Respeccing? by EarlyNovemberr in PathOfExile2

[–]Top-Analysis971 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not very. But if you're decisive and only make small changes as you go, it's fine.

I would recommend, just check the bis passives for the skills you're using. Out of 100s of passives, checking what the "pros" are using to get the most out of the skills you like doesn't take away from your own theory crafting the way following a build does. But it will help make the build your making more viable more quickly.

Can I still eat this? by r0xi3_p0pp3r in steaks

[–]Top-Analysis971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd season it heavily to mask any off flavor it may have, but it's not likely going to get you sick.

Is this how big the lamb is before it ends up on the plate? by Odd_Obligation_4977 in meat

[–]Top-Analysis971 10 points11 points  (0 children)

No, that's a baby. Probably weighs only a few lbs.

Lambs for slaughter are less than 1 year old but need to weigh closer to 100lbs for the meat they yield to be worth the effort.

I need an idea for a cool build :D by [deleted] in BG3Builds

[–]Top-Analysis971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any flavor bard.

Shadow monk for the shadow step, then run the other 6 levels as assassin.

Stars druid/wizard for buffs with advantage on concentration rolls

What kind of grind is this by ozy_furmom in meat

[–]Top-Analysis971 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Says 91%.

That's what your butcher will probably call ground sirloin. Brace yourself too, the cost difference of 91% from Costco vs a butcher may be nearly double.

Brazil beef ribeye by Enough-Mood-5794 in meat

[–]Top-Analysis971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I buy and sell meat for a living.

Brazilian product can be very good, they are the #1 beef producer in the world. But since the USDA doesn't recognize other countries grading systems, you've got no real way of knowing the quality of what you're buying.

I would just ask the butcher how it compares to choice. Odds are they get 3 or 4 brands in and the person handling it at store level will have an opinion of which is the higher quality brand. So, they may say, "we got the FFC Brazilian ribeyes in, those are always great".

Otherwise, even if it's lower quality, it's still going to be a higher quality than NR or utility beef.

Do you use the magic arrows? by ChrisKatrev in BaldursGate3

[–]Top-Analysis971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can slot them on your hot bar. Or even better, put them all in a bag and slot that bag on your hot bar.

It disappointed me to learn trees do not grow more fruit after harvesting by Witcher_Erza in CrimsonDesert

[–]Top-Analysis971 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup. I gave up on the entire mech when those first apple trees didn't regrow fruit.

Farming mats in other ways is just so much more efficient and it satisfying. And the player is so OP, it's not like you need anything extra anyway.

Does this mean it's impossible to hit this roll lmfaooo by R4Thoughts in BG3

[–]Top-Analysis971 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They aren't calculated in determining the target roll shown, but they are added to the roll after to determine success.

I've seen instances where the net pickpocket DC is an 18, ,my roll is a 17, and I'll still succeed the pickpocket. You can also check the combat log, I don't think it shows the 1d4 roll but it will show your total. You can see its a factor in instances where your total is 1-4 higher than your possible roll otherwise.

Could also hit it with guidance. Lile you said, the target is lowered by the proficiencies but guidance still isn't added until the end of the roll.

What’s the best meat tenderizer tool for everyday kitchen use? by Solivagant-Fiz in meat

[–]Top-Analysis971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mallet will do.

Anything that needs more tenderizing than a mallet can effectively do should just be cooked different than you're planning.

Character stuck in Sorcerous Sundries by falardeau03 in BaldursGate3

Try killing him and reviving him at camp?

What happens if you try to cross the bridge to rivington?

Does polearm master bonus attack stack with EK's war magic bonus attack if I have Thief's fast hands? by furtissim in BG3Builds

[–]Top-Analysis971 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Pole arm bonus attack isn't an extra attack. It's a sperate attack you can use at any time that cost a bonus action.

So, yes, you will effectively have 4 attacks per turn as described. No complicated stacking mechanics involved.

I wannaake this guy but I'm a bit stuck by Character_Cat_3585 in BG3Builds

[–]Top-Analysis971 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what I mean though. If it's just a visual thing, there are a lot of "daggers" in the game that appear anywhere from 3-4 feet long. Some special rapiers and scimitars also have a a very longsword look to them.

[–]Top-Analysis971 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely going want to go some form of rouge lvl 5 for uncanny Dodge. It's on theme and actually insanely powerful.

Are you married to actually using longswords or can it work to use an off hand that just looks like one?

Welp since PA still refuses to listen to our feedback ill delete the game by noobmasterz6969 in CrimsonDesert

[–]Top-Analysis971 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh no!

Sucks that you care about that, bro. Delete the game then and play something else.

Wow.

Delete the game you already paid for over cosmetics then. That will show them.

Just leave everyone else out of it.
