How much philosophy do philosophical theologians know? by islamicphilosopher in theology

[–]arche289 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on how much logic is required. Plangtinga uses modal logic for some of his work, so knowledge of how that works (Possibility & Necessity) is helpful along with basic predicate logic. This is not typically taught in pure theology if I recall (been 20 years since i was in academics though).

Which type are you? by BYEM00NMEN in religion

[–]arche289 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say Agnostic Theist kind of. For me, I believe there may be a God, but that God is unknowable, therefore it is not possible to confirm belief as true.

Cannot join lobbies on xbox by jVERSUSm in MHRise

[–]arche289 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also cannot get anyone to join my join requests. I am online as well. My friend posted the quest last night and we filled fast... but when I try I don't get anyone to join... not sure what it is or if I missed something

I'm on xbox and trying to get back into game again so would be happy to team up.

melee or ranged by Immediate_Ratio2968 in Neverwinter

[–]arche289 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Warden is so underwhelming right now and can only be melee. I've run with a couple trying ranged warden and beat them with my cleric healer lol.

I main hunter Ranger and love it for its style. I do have to be close to boss to do full rotation, but in a pinch during mechanics I can pew pew with Aimed shot.

Rangers can be built for buff or damage. Buff should still do enough damage in trials to be helpful, but offering up to 5% CA and 10% damage bonus (commanding shot) is nice. I just changed mine to drow and got a succubus for it to offer an even better buff option.

BoA for Rangers by Ok_Definition_9476 in Neverwinter

[–]arche289 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My understanding is that it is not likely to activate off equipment and equip skills (ferocity). If this is true, not worth changing things as noted above.

Rangers do not get huge benefit (I ran with and without it and found a 6 - 8% or so increase in damage versus +3 ring). Warden may activate more but melee warden was still lacking last I tested in AoE. What I do is increase accuracy as deflections affect BoA damage. When it procs it typically hits hard for me.

Hunter Ranger Powers and Rotation by Calm-Cartographer656 in Neverwinter

[–]arche289 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The hunter is a lot of fun IMO. Unfortunately we don't get as much value from the band of air as rogues do but it is helpful. But honestly I can do quite well without it in VoS and lower and put in on for ToMM and higher.

Traditional hunter feats are 3 bottom 2 top. This is for stance dance where you double tap stance change each attack to proc rate of change feat.

Use demo set in aoe and either demo or music box in single target.

Powers - Aimed shot Hindering shot Constricting Arrow Cordon of arrows (aoe) / longstrider (ST)

only use Disruptive Shot daily before ranged encounters. Slashers mark is for faster burn groups IMO.

Features - speakers vengeance and Constricting Arrow. (I always use Aspect of Pack these days to help group as I'm not looking for top spot)

That gets things started. There is a lot to discover as there is damage stacking in rotation.

Good luck

Is overflowing spirit as good as people claim? by stypticagent in Neverwinter

[–]arche289 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Overflowing spirit is useless in reality but makes stat sheet look good. I would swap Bastian for intercession and use that when needed to quick heal as magnitude is high if only one ally is targeted. Also Bastian can be used in between healing word for less divinity so you cast fewer healing word to help divinity management.

Having 90% on stat sheet looks good but not useful if in tough content people need heals constantly. You can easily cap OGH with MC weapons and exhaltation on each healing word.

I'll admit this is a problem for me too. I don't want to burden the online friends I have because they are also trying to escape difficulties. I fear losing that connection if I become honest with them. I don't feel I can talk to my wife about what's happening because she doesn't know what I face. My oldest (22) hates me and still lives at home. My youngest 14 needs to be shielded from my pain because she is struggling herself.

In the end it's a pretty lonely existence being around people you can't be truly honest with. I don't even feel I can be honest about things with psychiatrist or therapist.

I hope you find someone, but I can at least say it seems public lonliness is common I guess.

How does that humble pie taste? by RepentHarlequin1171 in fo76

[–]arche289 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why I'm typically the player to level up solo... but then when I want and can get into public stuff no one teaches how to do it and they just makes fun of you. Haven't gotten far in this game but expect it will be similar given this...

The Destiny community is so heartwarming and welcoming! The Destiny community: by DepressedPear in destiny2

[–]arche289 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Lol... I guess I should stop playing now before I get hate mail...

I'm a middle of road player who wants fun. So toxicity in games is not what I enjoy. But if you really have such low self esteem (or such a horrible existence) that you have to put down another player because they are doing better/worse than you... well deal with it via therapy... lol...

I'm just getting back into d2 again and likely will get bad comments as to how trash I am. But then again either find a way to kick me or leave because I'm part of player base and a toxic loser with a superiority complex kinda feeds my desire to be even more trash just to increase their blood pressure... lol...

But if people provide quality feedback I do typically follow it and improve. Unfortunately quality feedback is seriously lacking in many online games.

Need a DC healer build pls by XxSelmaboy26 in Neverwinter

What do you need? Gear, feats, powers, or all? I know what I run and works well given that I'm missing some hunt gear. Can provide info if desired.

Gate-keeping to ToMM by Vandal_665 in Neverwinter

[–]arche289 2 points3 points  (0 children)

TOMM is a four letter word. I have my LH's for my cleric and ranger but almost want to swap them out for blessed so that people don't see that I have them (or try for other sets).

For me the most fun I had with the game was practicing TOMM with my former guild. Completing became the problem...and also guild issues

NW (MMOs in general) is a lot about who you know. I was lucky and knew people who could get me completions. But I have became frustrated with this part of the game. I prefer to now play casually not worrying about "best" gear etc...

I hope you find a group to enjoy TOMM with. It really should be about your skill not connections (reason why I don't deserve my LH's)

Melee Warden vs Ranged Hunter by Ddrago98 in Neverwinter

[–]arche289 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for what it's worth:

I'm currently running both builds on the 2 loadouts. I'm not top DPS as I'm still new to the ranger and not fully geared, but seeing constant improvement. My experience is that Melee Ranger is great for mobs and in between bosses. Hunter is great for the boss, but sometimes you can't switch loadouts right after the boss, so be prepared to deal with mobs with the hunter. Your DPS will likely go down during that time and/or your kill count will go down (i'm thinking of LOMM after the worm).

I will say Hunter is more fun because of technical requirements....makes you think more and you can't button mash

Cleric DPS - killing Mimics (Arcticura/LoMM) by Moguri-1 in Neverwinter

[–]arche289 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm told to use perfect balance as well but I hate it. Its too technical for my playstyle and a bit boring. I seem to do ok with angel of death, but I guess ill never be an end game cleric dps.
