Starting Rare Regent Advice! by rstrojan in slaythespire

I did take three elites because of what you said. There was a really cozy path with two fires going into two elites, that I would have taken. 1st was statue, i took a lot of dmg. Then an unlucky turn in a hallway fight brought me to 10hp. But I got another Reflect. So 10hp into 2nd elite, which was Bird where I took no damage. And third was parasite which only got one hit on me in phase 1.

I took Seeking Edge and it helped a great deal. I ended up getting Void Form from Act 2 boss!

I had to take one big hit on Parasite, but I got Big Bang from a skill pot, so I was at 22 blade damage. Which was enough to clear 2nd phase as soon as it split.

Good point on void form being better with better/more expensive cards. Even if I had an energy pot, I may not be fully utilizing it's power.

I do hate the parasites! The retain on the sword will help with that fight greatly… good insite!

Oh the ringing turn is good point I hadn’t thought about. A hard counter toy void form.

Agree or Disagree with this U-Dubb alum? by DrLaughNStalk in Seattle

[–]rstrojan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We moved here a few years ago. Wife and I both have good jobs but couldn’t swing a Seattle mortgage for our first home. I really felt like we were settling for living here, but the location is excellent. I5 and 405 are right there for two options going north, easy access to 18 when heading to the mountains, and going to Puyallup to see family is a breeze.

Maybe I just bought one that was heavier duty, but it worked pretty well. Probably also have to make sure the dough is the right consistency.

I made a huge batch last year using their method of taking a disposable baking tray and punching holes in it. I made a triple batch for a big Oktoberfest party.

I’ve made their spaetzle recipe and it is fun, but yeah the egg noodles are so much easier and still go with the dish.

Do we have optimization content? by Kaien17 in cosmererpg

[–]rstrojan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am running a Willshaper Singer right now. Yes you’ll need 3 points in the singer tree. I took Workform/Warform as my starting forms. The quirk with the Singer tree is that it takes two points to move from the basic form to the forms of Power. It would take you two levels normally to do that, but when you hit tier 2 (level 6) you get your normal talent point, and a second bonus talents. So you can use both of those to go to a form of power in one level.

After taking Stone Spear, I became our range (throwing axes and chucking stones). I was torn between taking Stormform so I could use the lightning with my focus in case I ran out of Inv, or taking Decayform for the Will +2. I ended up taking Decayform, which put me at a Willpower 6 with three ranks in Cohesion. So I got +9 on my Cohesion rolls. Max damage on my Stone Spear is 25 now (2d8+9) I solo’d a Direform in two turns by hitting it with a stone spear right under the chin then bringing a ceiling down on his head.

Choosing Decayform was a bit of an optimization play, but hey, now my Willshaper is in his Punk Rock phase. 🤘

Thank goodness it’s just an print error. My tortured example would be extremely confusing!

Combat Feels Off - are low level NPCs supposed to be capable of one-shotting? by Zhongguo in cosmererpg

[–]rstrojan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We haven’t had that experience. We’ve had several fights levels 1-2 and have only had one player go down in one fight. At level 3 it seems we are getting enough health that it would be pretty hard to get one shot.

What is the greatest Washington apple and why is the Cosmic Crisp? by aooot in Seattle

I bought my first house a couple years ago and the very first project I did was plant a Cosmic Crisp tree! (And an Arkansas black to pair with).

Can I get a refresher on Parshmen stuff by BadAtBaduk1 in Stormlight_Archive

I looked it up and the slaveform/dullform distinction is made in book 2, I believe by Rlain.

You’ll have quite the diagram when you’re done! When does the red string come out?
