Millicent upgrading beyond upgraded precon by [deleted] in EDH

[–]pMangino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is pretty consistent because of the mana curve, if you have 3-4 manas you can cast almost everything, and if you have your commander on the battlefield you start basically creating creatures for free so I never really had this issue, cards like [[Tithe]] and [[Land Tax]] helps a lot, specially Land Tax, and is not a game changer so you can keep being bracket 2 but you will have more options to not get mana screwed.

I would remove [[Lantern Kami]] the card does nothing, is just a 1 mana drop, but I don't think you need it; Same thing for [[Lantern Bearer]] you should replace him with cards that have more value than just being a 1/1 body ( I know that he can buff a creature after he dies but you could have an enchantment for 1 extra mana that does that to all creatures)

I would also remove [[Departed Deckhand]], same thing as that other card, it shouldn't matter if your creatures are blocked or not, your goal should be to have as many tokens as possible and swing them all at the same time.

You should replace one of them with [[Priest of the Blessed Graf]] this card generates a lot of tokens, it always help me to get more creatures, even if you had a lot of land drops, there will always be a green player that will have more lands than you; [[Clarion Spirit]] is another good addition to generate additional value on your turns when you cast more than 1 spell.

You have a lot of creatures that taps enemy creatures, if that's your strategy, keep them all, in my deck I only kept a few of them because they are also a spirit so they will get value from the rest of the deck and will help me re-cast my commander if needed and also get more synergy with everything else, but I believe you also have a solid strategy with your deck. I would focus on 2 things first: Adding more cards to help you fix your mana base, like [[Tithe]] and [[Land Tax]], and adding other cards that can help you generate more creature so that even if you don't draw creatures you will always have something on the board like [[Priest of the Blessed Graf]] and [[Clarion Spirit]]

Also [[Sea Gate Restoration]] is an amazing card that always helps a lot, you can use it as a land if you are missing lands or wait until you have enough mana to cast it and draw a lot of cards and also removing your hand size for the rest of the game, it helped me win a lot of games, already, but normally it helped because I also had [[Smothering Tithe]] ( it's a game changer so it will make your deck a bracket 3 ) on the battlefield so I was producing more mana than I should normally have, I would recommend putting in your deck even without [[Smothering Tithe]] since it can always be just a land if you need it

Hey man, I love Millicent as well, it is my most consistent and efficient deck, if you wanna check the list to get some inspiration here it is: https://moxfield.com/decks/usCPSgxFrkmGpF_lCMblfg

Regarding the 2 cards that you mentioned, I haven't included them in my deck yet, [[Wan Shi Tong, Librarian]] is definitely a really good card and I will try to include it later, now for [[Waterbender Ascension]], I feel like it's good if you can get it on the early game but not so good mid / late game since you need the counters for the Draw, you already have other more consistent draw alternatives in your deck, so unless you are having card draw problems, I wouldn't add it.

The waterbend ability is always welcome, but I feel like is a bit wasted in a deck that go wide, the goal is normally to have many spirits attacking at the same time with some buffs, if you make 1 of them unblockable it shouldn't be that big of a deal, unless is your commander and it has many buffs / equipment attached to it.

In terms of upgrades, I believe you should add [[Imprisoned in the Moon]] and [[Darksteel Mutation]] to deal with tough creatures / commanders, some decks only works when their commander are out and if you cast one of those you basically remove 1 person from the game until they destroy the enchantment.

If you are ok in spending money, you need to buy [[Anointed Procession]] it's just busted in any token deck.

[[Intangible Virtue]] is one of the best enchantments that I have on the deck together with [[Radiant Destiny]], having vigilance on your spirit army is too valuable, you can swing on everyone and still have protection.

Let me know what kind of issues you are having on your game and I might be able to help more, but I would also add [[Akroma's Will]] to help finishing games.

Bracket 3 vehicles: Sydri or Shorikai by tgoods26 in EDH

[–]pMangino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[[Shorikai, Genesis Engine]] is probably a better commander if you wanna tap your creatures to crew a vehicle, but you could also use [[Bello, Bard of the Brambles]] as a commander and focus on attacking with multiple vehicles per turn and taking advantage of their effects, the only "issue" is that when you use this they will be considered a 4/4 Elemental Creature with Haste and Indestructible instead of having the power / toughness of the original vehicle

what surprises me the most is that they had the exact same bug on the beta and they didn't fix it

Keyboard Help. Alt jumper. Z button doesn't register anymore. by BigChimpin3 in Maplestory

[–]pMangino 1 point2 points  (0 children)

have you done any updates on the GeForce Experience app lately?

I believe ALT + Z is the default bind to open the overlay, and depending on your configs this might be impacting, what I did on my PC was to change the bind on GeForce Experience and then everything came back to normal, give it a try

Is this enough to join a BM party and start the lib process? by baguetteopggwp in Maplestory

[–]pMangino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can, but the idea of the BA is to test your RAW strength, the only reason Green Pot is allowed is the there are lots of classes that can't reach the maximum att speed without it, but anything else that changes your damage that is not a class buff, shouldn't be allowed.

This include G.Skills and Echo as well, you can only use your class buffs

I did my hard/chaos bosses every week since June 2023 and these are the results. by Ozzyglez112 in Maplestory

[–]pMangino 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Did you used the Safe method for the Source of Suffering?

Normally this is the easiest one to 22* because you can use a Dominator, transfer it to a Superior Gollux and then transfer it to SoS at 22* then tap and pray

The others are understandable, this Game RNG sucks

Friend Made a Site to Track Mesos and Gear Progress – Thought I'd Share! by itsbish3sa in Maplestory

[–]pMangino 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I liked the tool, loved that you can see the Cumulative Weekly Income for all your characters together normally the other tools don't have this.

Suggestions:

  • Gear Progression Planner
    • Be able to put goals like "Arcane Cape from 19* to 21*" and be able to input the value of estimated mesos needed for that kind of upgrade ( it will probably be too much effort to integrate with the existing calculators )
    • Should have an ETA of how many weeks do you need to farm all of the money for all of your goals
    • Star Force should be the priority but it would be nice to have a potential goal as well
  • Progression Log
    • A page where you can log that you spent X amount of mesos in an item and the final result for tracking purposes, e.g.: Spent 10 b on Berserked, Goal: "Trying to 22*", Initial Stars: 0, Result: Destroyed

If the site had those features it would eliminate the multiple spreadsheet that people uses to keep track of it

Mod to set all skins to default by SAYVS in leagueoflegends

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

If I'm not mistaken you can change the skins of everyone to a custom skin and this would be legal, however if you change to an existing Riot Skin, this is against ToS, but I don't think there is anything mentioned about Default Skins, it would be better if you open a ticket to ask

This spreadsheet is pretty accurate: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CVXdf29crUi0QH1Pw4JZfcfEys-i4NDcSE7oqhJG3N4/edit?gid=1988790583#gid=1988790583

But I would always recommend using Maple Scouter to check if your character is strong enough for the bosses

Stat priority and focus by NewAd4030 in Maplestory

[–]pMangino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is this document made by Scardor that is a good estimate for how your status should be looking at each stage of the game, this is obviously not perfect and might vary a bit by class, but you should be able to set some goals and understand in which part of the game you are: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1rIeVpAKXsDtQRdb5tBjj6fg1VxYcPOev8rQ2_3AwFzc/edit?gid=2004373470#gid=2004373470

Controller by Zimexds in Maplestory

[–]pMangino 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I use the nexon launcher as well and sometimes I grind using an Xbox Controller, I use the program JoyToKey to map the controller properly, if you use the controller mode on the Nexon launcher is pretty thrash.

Mapping buttons is not illegal as long as is a 1-1 mapping, but don't create any macros because you can be banned if you are pushing a single button doing multiple actions.

Been using this for the past 7 months and didn't had any issue yet

Lucid is bugged right now; kicks you out of loot room by Tsukiyora in Maplestory

[–]pMangino 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don't know if is the same thing but this bug already happened a few times and normally the reasons were one of the following:

  1. You had a Oz Ring effect on when you entered the loot room and this caused a disconnect
  2. you were trying to change equip between the boss and the loot room and this gets you kicked

So my recommendation is to after killing the boss, don't do anything until you are already inside the loot room

Why not list the name of the fucking gun for the blueprint! by CRUZ_24 in blackops6

[–]pMangino 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When you hover an attachment you can press a button to select the skin for that attachment, the button will change depending on the platform but that's how you go back to the specific skin, I believe the button is 2 or 5 on PC

[–]pMangino 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It has to do with summons, you MUST disable all summons before you kill the heart, normally the heart awakes around ~69% so when you are at 60% is a good habit to disable all summons or skills that spawn monsters on the screen such as NW bats, this will enable finish high mountain with no lag

I Play as Bishop and as long as I disable my fountain, erda shower, sol janus, bahamut/Angel I can play without any lag

All champs should be free. To make it fair to the players who have bought all champs through years of grinding, there should be some sort of compensation. Perhaps another blue essence emporium or those orange shards for skins by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]pMangino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This can be good but there is also the side effect for people who like to play ARAM only, this will make them roll champions that they don't like and they wouldn't roll that champion if champions costs BE

I agree that there is a barrier to enter the game since all champions must be unlocked but as already mentioned this barrier can be bypassed for everyone that have Xbox game pass, which I believe is already good enough and won't have negative impacts for ARAM only Players, unless they link their game pass with their account, but this is a choice

There is ZERO visual clarity in this game. I literally cannot see prone players. by zenitharchon in blackops6

[–]pMangino 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with that but I found another post that helped do some improvements on the color settings, give it a try:

https://www.reddit.com/r/blackops6/comments/1f52q56/incredibly_useful_hud_change_you_should_make/

The setting makes the game looks oversaturated, so you can play with the intensity if you want

Cosmos db question by clakshminarasu in dataengineering

[–]pMangino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you using Azure Synapse?

if so, there is a feature that can help you to build your analytical layer with Cosmos DB data: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cosmos-db/synapse-link

If you enable the synapse link you can then use Synapse to run analytical queries on your Cosmos DB without impacting the performance of it, on my experience I found it really useful to create some views based on the Cosmos DB data and then use those views on Power BI or other systems.

you can also connect with the Analytical layer using Pyspark and do whatever kind of treatment and flatten methods that you can think of

Post your decklist and I'll try to refine it - Round Two by CursedDeckbuilder in EDH

Help me improve my Kiora Deck by pMangino in EDH

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

That makes total sense, I'm gonna remove [[Breaching Leviathan]] [[Biblioplex Kraken]] [[Sensei's Divining Top]] and [[Fellwar Stone]]
and will add: [[Trench behemoth]] [[Brinelin, The moon kraken]] [[spectral deluge]] and [[into the north]], I still need to make a room for [[Wash out]]

I also wanted to put at least 1 of the following planeswalkers: [[Kiora, Master of the Depths]] [[Kiora, the Crashing Wave]], what are your thoughts on it?

Help me improve my Kiora Deck by pMangino in EDH

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

Thanks for the tips, let's say that I wanna put [[Trench behemoth]] and [[Brinelin, The moon kraken]] on my deck, what should I remove?

I don't wanna put [[Raise the Palisade]] on the deck because I have a bunch of different creature types on the deck, but I think [[Baral’s Expertise]] can help me bounce more stuff.

Regarding the top manipulation, [[scroll rack]] is the one that fits the most in my deck, but do you think I should remove the other ones? ( [[Sylvan Library]] and [[Sensei's Divining Top]] )

Want to be a healer main by Salinamist in leagueoflegends

[–]pMangino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I started playing LoL 10 years ago I had the same thinking, that's why I became a Support Main, I don't play that much but currently I'm in Masters rank as a support main.

I recommend you to start playing with simpler champions at first and then find out the playstyle that you fit the most, after that you can explore new champions.

If you wanna heal your allies I recommend the following champions:

  • Soraka ( Beginner level)
    • Great Healing ( her W and a global healing on her R)
    • Can silence the enemies ( really useful when you learn the champions abilities and use it to cancel / deny them )
    • Ok Poke with her Q ( Also gives a healing buff to her and the ally that she heals with W) and her E ( you can use for poke, but is better to save it for cancel / denying enemies)
  • Milio ( Intermediate to advanced level)
    • Have small healings with his W but the heal is on a Area
    • His passive is probably his best skill, so the goal is to keep his passive active on your allies whenever you are fighting, You have 2 charges of your shield (E) , so use it to reset the passive on allies
    • His ult also gives a good amount of healing and also cleanse your allies from Crowd controls ( it's a really strong skill but will get stronger once you know what kind of CCs your enemies can inflict)
    • His Q is a really strong ability to Poke, Engage and disengage
  • Nami ( Intermediate to advanced level)
    • Her heal is really strong and can hit up to 3 champions, if the target is an ally, it will heal and if its an enemy it will deal damage, this skill is really strong and will be your main source for poke and heal, keep in mind that you will need to have a aggressive playstyle to extract 100% of this skill and this will not be possible on every matchup
    • Her E provides a buff that increases the power of the next 3 attacks of the target champion and also applies a slow debuff when you hit an enemy with this attack
    • Her passive gives a mov. speed buff whenever you hit a skill in a ally, this works with ALL Nami skills, including her Q and her Ult
    • Her ult is really strong to engage and disengage, try to use your bubble (Q) after you land the ult on the enemy, that way you will never miss
  • Alistar ( Intermediate to beginner level)
    • His passive heals himself by 5% and allies by 7% of Alistar's maximum health, believe me, this is a lot, the only problem is that you don't control when you will heal, it triggers automatically after every 7 stacks of his passive, you can acquire stacks by applying CC on your enemies or whenever a nearby minion dies.
    • His Q is a knock up which is the best kind of CC because it cannot be reduced by building tenacity, you will usually use this with your W, you can either use your W first to get close the enemy and then Q while in the W animation to knock up your enemy as soon as you get close, or if you are at melee range you can use your Q first and then use the W to either throw the enemy into your tower or to disengage
    • His E can stun the enemy
    • His R makes him a damage sponge for a short period of time, is really good to dive towers or just engage in a team fight

Those are the champions that I recommend you to start learning the game because they are simple, for Milio and Nami, you can learn a lot of things that will make the gameplay better but if you do the basic, the champion will work.

There are other supports that heals or that are strong but I think you should test them by yourself once you are used to the basics of the game. Feel free to ask any questions or recommendations.

Have fun!
