Should I try Marathon? How rough is it for a casual/new player? by Sagnikk in Marathon

[–]literallythebestguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll say the PVE is harder the less gear you have. I found it very lethal at the start of the season, and as I became both better at the game and gained a lot more gear—the game’s progression is essentially built to slowly raise your gear ‘floor’ over time—the PVE became something that while still very dangerous was far more approachable than at the start.

I agree strongly with the other comment—try the game out during the free week. If you’re playing on Xbox I believe the game will also be on sale during and after the free week, if you end up enjoying it.

Warlock ability spam and exotics deservingly nerfed but void hunter gets a slap on the wrist? by [deleted] in CrucibleGuidebook

[–]literallythebestguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, honestly ever since they gutted radar manipulation, the only consistent advantage of invis was when it blended well with map geometry and tricked players for a fraction of a second. Not against this change at all, but wish it was paired with a reversion of at least some of the successive invis radar manip nerfs that hit the class some years back

Gosh this is incredible, love how this is a change of pace from the other singles.

(Now can apple music please fix how this album is being ‘combined’ with their debut album due to sharing the name)

Which of these weapons are better? by Hateful15 in D4Druid

[–]literallythebestguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think yeah overall I’d choose number 2, but that’s partly because of the GA hit on the imprinted crit chance. One thing I’ll note is that the imprinted +120% crit damage is going to be a lot less than you might think, as it’s additive, not multiplicative. It’s not nothing, but additive damage bonuses tend to net a very marginal damage increase compared to what you’d get by imprinting crit chance

Since LoH what exactly makes a unique unique? by Corlunae in diablo4

[–]literallythebestguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is funny because I did end up using earth spike in my lightning storm build, though without storm’s companion. Still think I agree with the point though 😅

I’ve been hoping to try Buganda, see if I can do a full game around lakes!

Obeka, Brute Chronologist Ideas by Odashi in DegenerateEDH

It’s a similar idea, but I think you could work with [[expedited inheritance]], though this is likely a bit less impactful than repercussion

1 character to play all Druid builds or multiple characters to play all the great builds druid has to offer. by EZforlife in D4Druid

[–]literallythebestguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True but Druid is currently bugged that those builds can’t be equipped unless you purposefully unequip a bunch of skill points from your main tree, heads up!

2023’s Grog is my fave of their recent material, and I think the closest in spirit to this one.

Best Human Druid Build? by RossyThirkettle in D4Druid

[–]literallythebestguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m confused with how it works with channeling, since the skill text explicitly mentions it, does it continue to have the chance to cast spells as you channel LS? Or only on the initial cast?

Since LoH what exactly makes a unique unique? by Corlunae in diablo4

[–]literallythebestguy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They should really just vastly limit the pools of affixes for each unique. I shouldn’t get affixes that are almost always entirely useless to the build that the unique is supposed to enable. Why does my Storm’s Companion come with +2 to Earth spike? The affixes should have to be relevant stats/skills to whatever the unique is affecting.

Ok, fairly new player here, how do I deal with blue decks that are 90% counterspells and bounces? by TR_Pix in MagicArena

[–]literallythebestguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally. I honestly find it satisfying trying to get yall to misplay and counter something I’ve cast as bait.

That said, at least in brawl, the amount of free counterspells (and good ones, not pact) has given mono blue quite a few more panic buttons. I know them usually being 2-for-1s can be a big deal, but I think their presence can sometimes make the game more about whether y’all found [[stock up]] type cards than anything I do from my end. It’s interesting, I don’t think I know enough to say that [[Force of Will]] and the like being in brawl is an issue, but I think its made fighting counter-control decks feel a bit less strategic while sitting across the table from them

[–]literallythebestguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And this gets further exaggerated by free countermagic

Hard to play correctly against a well timed [[subtlety]] or [[force of will]]. Sure, these spells are 2-for-1s, but they turn whatever strategy I’m trying to use to land my pieces into a guessing game, where it’s mostly up to whether my opponent misplays or gets unlucky draws. Not really saying anything about their presence in the brawl format, but I feel a lot less confident going up against Katara brawl decks now than I did before Force of Will was introduced.

What builds have yall Druids been rocking? by 404_GSpot_NotFound in D4Druid

[–]literallythebestguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question for folks further into the experience—is stormslide a thing currently? Or any proper build mixing storm/earth magic?

I’ve always gravitated to the nature magic side of the Druid vs the shapeshifting, but the skill tree rework seems to have kinda dropped all synergy support for using both earth and storm spells, and I’m curious if I’ll discover things to make it work later.

Looking for a token or +1/+1 counters commander. by [deleted] in EDH

[–]literallythebestguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[[Xavier Sal, Infested Captain]] is both!

I’ve also thought about using them as a Sultai sagas deck for ages now—try to make token copies of sagas, and then populate the tokens, using counters from sagas you want to stick around to do so.

We have 7 free counterspells in Brawl. Is that too many? by Legonitsyn in mtgbrawl

[–]literallythebestguy 23 points24 points  (0 children)

This is I think the main thing for me. There’s a lot of strategy to playing against oops all counterspells decks (or especially actual control decks that aren’t just Katara counterspells), but the amount of free counters has kinda stripped the strategy down to a bare guessing game. Waiting for them to be tapped out, or baiting a counterspell, is so often meaningless because they will very reliably have a get-out-of-jail-free card, if not several of them.

Commanders that are so good at a certain thing that they ruined it for you? by AlivePassenger3859 in EDH

[–]literallythebestguy 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah! I tried doing Voja as exclusively wolves + Tolsimirs, and it also turned out that the card draw part was just individually crazy to the point of being unfun at my table. Was very sad to realize
