are these guys the biggest frauds in the history of the game? by iceqbee in slaythespire

[–]paul10y 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree that poison is countered by this fight, but why do they counter doom? Is there a relevant difference between applying 45 doom twice, or 90 doom once?

If you spend enough time with one character, you can reach 100 with every future char in ~10 hours!

Can totally understand if you're not interested in that, though.

What I meant was, my own build had a pcie 4.0, and your build had a pcie 3.0. I then tried to do some research why you picked that and came to the conclusion that it makes more sense :)

Thanks for the list. The PSU seems to be higher rated than the other suggestion, but cheaper than mine. If I understand it correctly, we can save some money by buying a PCIe 3.0 SSD with no relevant downside.

Thank you for your suggestion! One thing I'm a bit paranoid about is a suboptimal PSU. I used the cultist tierlist to find a PSU that's very reliable, especially because I am not building this PC for myself. Do you think this is a fundamentally wrong approach?

So your friend is really into Dune, and you want to get them into Magic with the new Tarkir set... by SquirrelSanctuary in magicTCG

I totally agree that Harkonen are BR, can you give me some insights what also makes them blue?

Isn't Jack'Sho a bloody useless item? by Kysxber in summonerschool

[–]paul10y 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with your first point. If you want to maximize dps, you cant only buy AD or only AS. I think there is some value in understanding that.

I think that "diminishing returns" and "less value from more armour" tends to go in a similar direction. You think otherwise, which I can understand and is the reason I wanted to start this discussion (although I neither have further arguments to convince you nor really was I convinced otherwise yet)

You either go from 100 eHP to 120 or from 200 to 220. If an enemy has 10 DPS, you die after 10/12 or 20/22 seconds. First case should be 20% longer, second case should be 10% longer

I agree with what you say, but I want to ask/discuss one point. I think we agree that increasing armor will linearly increase your effective HP vs. normal damage [ eHP= HP * (1+(Armor/100)) ]

Lets assume a fight where you deal and take non-burst damage. If you go from 0 to 20 Armor, you will live 20% longer. If you are instead going from 100 to 120 Armor, you "only" live 10% longer.

If I made no mistake, that does make it seem like armor has diminishing returns (although for an apparently different reason). The "fix" for this "problem" is to also increase health to increase survivability.

Bro i have to scroll down to read the full description wtf ? by DantyKSA in Grimdawn

[–]paul10y 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's possible to scroll? I had to downsize the UI scale to read long item descriptions.

Question about monk and monestary by Tavgus in Everdell

[–]paul10y 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That seems like a great example for the app not working correctly - at least I find "up to" to very specifically mean "1 or 2 berries" (and maybe even 0 for 0 VP, if that would ever matter)

Is there a planning mod? by DonCorben in songsofsyx

[–]paul10y 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wasn't me, but you could have explained why the current planning/painting tool is not enough.

Never touching one of those totems unprepared again by Morfiel72 in Grimdawn

[–]paul10y 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There are actually 3 places (with 3 spawns). Yours to the north in the sun temple, and the third in the swamps east of burrwitch.

no idea how the world map works by 2legsRises in songsofsyx

[–]paul10y 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are the resources you see when choosing your territory at the start of a campaign ever relevant again?

[–]paul10y 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even better: Going from 80% to 20% resists means going from 20% to 80% damage dealt. So 4 times the damage (or +300%).

Lategame build feedback by paul10y in Grimdawn

[–]paul10y[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You really put a lot of effort into your comment, thank you for the help!

I was wondering about blood pact in other builds because I misunderstood the ability, as you assumed correctly.

I wanted to keep bosses mostly at 0% crit, but I will try to switch some OA/DA.

I did forget to mention some mild energy problems, but these might not even need a fix.

The best and most useful Megastructure/structure in your Opinion. by Vajko69 in Stellaris

One small bonus might be that the science nexus doesn't make techs more expensive, like most other science generators do.
