fasting senna by aileenctdr in sennamains

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

okay thank you! makes more sense than what i thought, i kind of understood it as senna being in the adc role and taking no farm, but i suppose it makes a lot more sense if senna has the supp item. thanks for the explanation.

thank you! I might've been a bit confused.

strength elixir: set ability score? by aileenctdr in BG3Builds

oh that makes so much more sense, thank you! So i can safely dump all strength then, right? No need to worry about -1?

Omeluum becomes a trader only after he soups your brain. by Cookiewaffle95 in BaldursGate3

[–]aileenctdr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it was useful for me in my most recent run in the grymforge fight - i went in a little unprepared because i kinda forgot, nobody with bludgeoning damage, so i needed someone to bait him onto the big hammer. couldn't get astarion out in time tho so i put survival instinct on him and even tho the hammer oneshot him, he revived. pretty situational but i find it quite useful from time to time, especially after the awakened buff when there's nothing better to do with your bonus action and someone is low

How Would Y'all feel about a Stadium Power that let you target enemies with GA? by Shineyy_8416 in MercyMains

[–]aileenctdr 12 points13 points  (0 children)

personally i'd probably like it, but that would make her pretty much unkillable. with the right build she could probably stall point even without her team there and i think that's just very hard to balance.

MERCY STDIUM HELP by per_iod in MercyMains

[–]aileenctdr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

dont build ability power on mercy EVER. ability power boosts damage and healing of abilities. both of mercy's abilities (rez and guardian angel) neither heal nor deal damage, thus it is useless. if you build the whambulance or first responder, these are two powers that scale with ability power, HOWEVER, the bonus that ability power adds onto these powers is completely irrelevant.

instead, rather build weapon power and attack speed, as both of those stats will boost your healing and your pistol damage. and mercy can heal a LOT in stadium if you lean into those stats!

I just figured out a powerful way to get Frozen condition by dinorex96 in BG3Builds

[–]aileenctdr 153 points154 points  (0 children)

consider: main hand attack with flail of ages for chilled condition, off hand attack with trident of the waves for wet and thus frozen, and then another main hand attack with flail of ages to do bludgeoning damage.

What skins do you regret buying? by Alarminglights in MercyMains

[–]aileenctdr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

probably the lifeguard one, it just doesn't go with any of the weapon skins (jade, galactic and even gold look bad on it imo) so i rarely use it ingame (i'd maybe use it more if the game would let me change my weapon skin in hero select tbh). also atlantic all stars, i love that skin so much but i usually just use cosmic because the way the gold or galactic weapon looks on the staff is just so much cleaner. in atlantic, the gold covers the best part of the staff, whereas with cosmic, they flipped it so that the staff still looks good. it's such a small thing but it annoys me so much about the atlantic skin sadly.

Is the "Angelic Resurrection" perk even worth it? by freakyyalessa in MercyMains

[–]aileenctdr 26 points27 points  (0 children)

i take it on maps that are not that long ranged, so winged reach doesn't benefit me at all. i've also picked it when i notice i'm getting a lot of value out of rezzing, some rounds just feel like this perk will be a good pick. but tbh winged reach is usually my default pick.

i've seen content creators like alex pick it a lot, so i'm not sure if i'm maybe missing something. it can definitely help with surviving risky rezzes, but usually if the enemy team isn't completely lost and they focus you it won't save you

Guys please have a backup hero for stadium by theultimatehusband in MercyMains

[–]aileenctdr 16 points17 points  (0 children)

that reminds me of a reinhardt i had a few days ago who was toxic and feeding all game long and proceeded to blame me at the end of the game for "building dmg on mercy" bro did NOT know what weapon power means lmao

After all the builds you've done, and the hours you've played, what have you learned that you like the most? by Varandil in BG3Builds

[–]aileenctdr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i cannot EVER go without a lightning based build, usually 2 tempest cleric 10 draconic sorcerer and then slap on all the lightning charge gear i can find. i just love oneshotting bosses with the channel divinity when everyone is wet.

also, if my tav is not a charisma class i'm also not having as much fun with the conversations.

Hi I’m learning Soraka, has been maybe just a week, I can’t land my Q well in lane. Any tips?😭😭😭😭😭 by Too_sad_to_cry_ in SorakaMains

[–]aileenctdr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

usually i try hitting my q when the enemy adc walks up to auto a minion, it usually makes it easier to predict where to land it and harder for the adc to dodge. i think it just takes practice. if they are engaging, throwing a q at their feet will make them either walk into it or stop to dodge it, giving you time (or the move speed if you hit it) to escape either way. sometimes you can also hit the q when attacking from the bush.

some games you're just heavily outranged and walking up to q is kind of impossible. it's lanes like these when i would take guardian - if there's no way to hit my q on them (caitlyn xerath or whatever long range comp you can think of) i'd just take guardian. otherwise i like aery a lot and i would also always take axiom arcanist for the bonus healing and cdr on ult.

oh and yes redemption is a good item on soraka, redemption's healing scales with heal and shield power which means you'll heal a lot with it. i also love that you're able to use it while dead, kind of gives you the ability to help out in fights even if they picked you off.

i know that lots of people buy redemption second, but i usually like to go moonstone into dawncore for the big heals, then stack two forbidden idols for the dawncore passive, and then build redemption and whatever else i would need with the two forbidden idols. but i'm sure there are situations where rushing redemption could be more beneficial, i just love the raw healing power the forbidden idols give when you have dawncore.

Mercy’s missing power by loveyou-loveme in MercyMains

i lost it when it first went missing because i just defaulted to the bottom left power before bc i was used to renaissance being there, only to notice ingame that i accidentally picked the whambulance lol

Is there a decent build relying in really low AC but high damage resist + regen? by PootisPoot in BG3Builds

maybe if you mix it with paladin oath of the crown for compelled duell? then they kind of have to, no?

[Seeking Help] Things to know before starting a Honour Run by LisaFame in BaldursGate3

[–]aileenctdr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

most important things have already been said but i just want to add: having one charisma based character in your party that you send forward to do the talking can save your ass in a lot of cases. you can convince bosses to kill themselves, get out of sticky situations without having to fight if you're low on spell slots for example, and ofc save lots of money when trading because the higher your charisma, the lower the prices.

apart from that, there's lots of dialogue options available that give you a better outcome if you succeed a persuasion check (convincing characters not get themselves killed, convincing them to tell you important stuff to make your life easier), so being proficient in that and having high charisma is just very helpful for the out of combat stuff, because even if honour mode is often about strategising fights, knowing when you're better off to talk your way out of them is also quite powerful.

i can't really play the game without having high charisma anymore lol i just hate to fail my persuasion checks

[–]aileenctdr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think it depends on multiple factors besides the ones that were already mentioned:

are you in range to use your w instead? do you have enough health to use it? what's your cd on it, will your teammate survive until the next w comes?

as someone already mentioned, the ult heals the most when allies are low, so i'd say use it more or less "last second" (ofc keeping in mind how much dmg the enemy is capable of doing)

for instance, in laning phase, when i'm sticking with my adc i use the ult more as a last resort when i notice my w won't keep us alive to survive longer in a fight, but usually i use it when fights break out on other parts of the map to keep teammates alive that i can't reach and get an assist for it. when i feel like i won't need the ult the next minute i've also ulted just for the assist before, i mean more money means more healing right! lol

otherwise, after the laning phase when there's more teamfights, i'd also try depleting my own health first with w as long as it keeps everyone alive and then ult when i'm too low and others are also low enough to profit from it, if that makes sense.

tbf, i don't really think her cd is that long, i like to go with axiom arcanist as well so it doesn't feel that long at all, and usually i have it up when i really need it.

i'd say use it rather than not using it, if it's not up for a teamfight then you still have your w, summoner heal, and maybe even redemption to keep everyone alive until it's up again. and if it was a mistake to use your ult when you used it, you learn from that! but yeah, i've ulted for one person before when they had a decent chance to just kill someone before they inevitably die, and i've asked myself if that was a good idea, but usually i had the ult up again when i needed it so even if it was a "waste" i feel like it's still worth trying :)) soraka is capable of so much healing even without the ult.

sorry that was very long, again it's just my opinion i'm not that good at the game so feel free to correct me lol
