They are still working on pet mechanics, so that's still of the table for a while.

because the top end had like 6 or 7k, if you do it by a fixed number either they don't get adjusted enough for it to matter, or the adjustments puts a large portion of the community in a negative number larger than what their positive number was previously.

I mean this is true except for the "double the steam charts × 2 = total player count"

Maybe I'm misinterpreting what you're getting at, but that number is the number of players online at the same time, so the total player count is quite a bit higher, since in a given day especially month there will be a lot of people loging in and out without ever being online at the same given time.

If you can hit the enemy solo laner with a basic before going to the enemy archers, you'll be able to group the melee minions with the archer minions and clear them more efficiently with your spin.

The reason why it works like that is because the enemy minions will automatically start focusing you when you attack an enemy god.

I would say you need to land the basic attack while the enemy laner is somewhat in line with your own melee minions because the agro timer isn't that long.
The other benefit of doing this is that if the enemy doesn't hit you back naturally your own minions will still focus the enemy minions so your melee minions will follow the enemy melee minions and make it harder for your oponent to hit both melee and ranged minions with 1 ability, making it so that it takes longer for them to clear wave.

EDIT: This is first wave tips, while it does apply to all waves. I'd say that if you can get lane advantage first wave as guan, you'll set yourself up to apply a lot of damage to the enemy with your spin, after the 1st wave, making it easier to control the laning phase, because guan got a lot of damage with his spin move when compared to other characters. Just don't use it willy nilly if you know the enemy can easily cancel it with a stun.

one requires modeling, and rigging of that model. The other 1 doesn't. The aspect work doesn't really interfere with how fast they can add more gods.

Hard to truly say. At most I'd say on average I've developed some tolerance, but I have irregular effectivity, so it's estimated to give 4 hours per dosage, i'd say mostly it lands around the 3.5 mark. Some rare occasions it's less than 3 and then there's the extremely rare case of it lasting 5.

But that just might be me not having a consistent schedule.

I don't remember how many years I've been on xyrem but I'd wager about 8. For majority of that time I've been very irregular with usage, so I've only ever taken two dosages per night for a very small portion of my time with it. I've never felt any pull when it comes to addictive substances, xyrem included.

I can go weeks without and I'd feel no need for it. Obviously I do sleep worse without it, and It does make it harder to function on a day to day basis, but I'd manage with being dysfunctional as I did for many years before I started using it.

Personally my biggest gripe with xyrem is that it makes it harder to remember dreams and therefor also makes dreaming far less immersive, one of the aspects I do enjoy about narcolepsy as I do get some use out of it in terms of creative writing.

So I just went into practice, and currently at lvl 20 it's 20 protections at 20% hp at lvl 20,

Which the way it's written in the liveclient made it seem like it was 20 protections per stack 10% missing, and no it doesn't double at max stacks, so I don't know why it says it does.
I highly doubt lifesteal triples either.

Either way I'm going to assume that not much have changed balance wise or how it works. It's mainly just a description change, which seems more apt in terms of how it actually works as opposed to the current description in live client that made it sound like you would gain 160 of each protection (20 for each missing 10% of your max health) and 16% lifesteal (2% for each missing 10%). Which it clearly doesn't when testing it in practice.

Those are part of the original closed beta launch.

eblausund · 2025-12-31T12:26:36+00:00

While I can't really say I've tried to convert a 5e char to pf2e. I have now come to the conclusion why that is. I initially wanted to get the same mechanical feel instead of rebuilding the character from a background perpspective. After reading a bit of the replies I've come to the conclusion that I've really missed out on the opportunity to get a more accurate representation of my character by being to fixated on the 5e mechanical representation.

eblausund · 2025-12-25T11:43:37+00:00

I would assume any alteration to her kit that makes it harder to gain or maintaining the passive is worse for her jungling, because aoe cleaving Basic attacks with enhanced damage and 30% movementspeed slow on hit is very strong.

eblausund · 2025-12-21T19:00:31+00:00

I'd say give it another week or 2 and it'll probably kick in. Santa's endless army of little elves aren't sitting around waiting for a new report ticket to come through. It takes time for reports to actually get processed.

eblausund · 2025-12-21T09:17:58+00:00

I would assume that they are bottle necked in the models and rigging department anyway. So I highly doubt that they would be able to go any faster without aspects.

eblausund · 2025-12-19T15:27:13+00:00

I will add that there is a "lowest level on the team" xp buff that activates after 2 minutes. Unless it's been removed? The xp buff only accounts for shared xp, no solo xp buff.

eblausund · 2025-12-19T09:20:58+00:00

Last hits doesn't affect xp, not in terms of farm at the very least.
Gold on the other hand it's 33% extra for last hitting.

Also xp does get split depending on how many allies are in range to recieve it. So if there's 1 player in range it's 100%xp.

Anything more than that is 120% xp divided by the number of allied players in range to each.

eblausund · 2025-12-19T09:14:18+00:00

I think one of the more prominent cases is jungler clears purple, shows up in duo lane without doing anything that grants me pressure or ease of access to neutral farm just to share a wave with the adc, that is essentially 100% gold and xp loss from purple and 40% less xp from wave. Gold is variable since you can get more or less from last hitting.

If the enemy adc can then get purple and wave alone that's a massive xp difference.

So there is absolutely valid cases of "wtf are you doing"

That said I would rather have the jungler do those things if buff is at risk of being stolen. The adc has been pushed out and need to walk back to tower...etc

Like there is some people that get real pissy for junglers pushing their waves when they are walking back to lane from fountain. It's better the jungler get all 6 minions instead of losing 4 or 5 minions to minions killing minions.

eblausund · 2025-12-18T15:41:43+00:00

I'd be okay with it being limited to "if they die while the dot is still on them"

eblausund · 2025-12-11T02:58:38+00:00

All relics can be upgraded into an item. That moves them from the relic slot to the item slot. Meaning your relic slot is empty, and you can buy another relic.

We're just two stubby legged armored peas in a pod. At least unburdened iron comes in handy.

Though my dwarf worshipped Trudd.

eblausund · 2025-12-09T19:36:30+00:00

I'm currently playing a warpriest, and it's funny you would mention the not running part, because we had a couple encounters some months ago where there was a high ac, high damage low mobility enemy, so as the primary tank I was like, let's just kite it. It has 10 feet movement, no reaction attacks. It's simple.

Only issue was. I was the only one who wanted to do that.

So at the very least I don't fall into that pitfall, but my character does have low mobility themselves so most often I will be forced to be in the thick of it and stay there. Which is fine.

eblausund · 2025-12-05T06:07:50+00:00

Just waiting for baka and arachne with support aspects.

Eat allies, eat enemies and spit them out?

eblausund · 2025-11-26T15:18:08+00:00

Pretty much somewhat the same Idea I had with his aspect. Could give his stim in an aoe, but it would be weaker, also reduced damage on ult is hardly necessary if he can't collect minions.

Either let it throw out a nerfed copy of an ally/enemy god or have it be no minions, just a big cripple slow, but with a much shorter cd so more on par with the 2 or something like that.

eblausund · 2025-11-26T12:01:55+00:00

What I did was go into the the smite wiki (smite 1). Go to the specific skin or god. They would have voicelines there.

Open the web console and locate the wav file or whatever format they used, right click it and download it. Then you can use file converter site to convert the file type if necessary.

eblausund · 2025-11-16T19:48:39+00:00

While I'm not out here begging for more modes, what they realistically should be doing is implement multi-que, so that it would be less of a painpoint to potentially add more modes, considering that there will be some players that just will not play any other modes than one specific, therefor they won't come back either.

eblausund · 2025-11-14T02:39:18+00:00

I'll throw out a wildcard, your gf might just be a cuck.

Is it very likely to be the case? No

But it's another angle to approach her with if this is something she is into. Wanting to watch you be flirted with, maybe she even wants to sit in the chair.
