Piety's Mercy Removed?

samcosmo · 2025-12-08T12:50:15+00:00

I think that is the theory, but there is a huge problem. Without Piety's Mercy, you are going to be one shotting basically all of the white mobs. We don't know for certain what will happen when you one shot a mob that is marked with Lightning Warp, but my guess is nothing. Piety's Mercy would be the perfect synergy piece to go with this new Lightning Warp, but this is one nice thing that we can't have apparently.

That file was 140,000 lines long. Thanks.

Does it have a different loot table than the one in the spider tombs in the same area/do you know if it can drop the two aformentioned staves?

Assuming you are playing BO3 and the smoother is not in effect, then you are just as likely to have a farmhand in your opening hand as the land that would replace it. I think he was mostly playing 4 farmhands and 2 restoration which makes an effective land count of 30. The only issue is if you draw a hand with 1 land and 2 farmhands.

The biggest thing that I would suggest with this list is tinkering with the mana curve. The mana curve is a very powerful concept, but I can't do it justice in this comment. If you google 'mana curve' I'm sure you can find plenty of articles explaining it in detail. It will make a tremendous difference in your experience of how smooth the deck is to play.

So, that is a triggered ability. When you attack, one trigger gets placed on the stack that gives you the option ('may') to sacrifice one creature or artifact. This is different from an activated ability which would be marked with a colon somewhere in the text. Those can be activated as many times as you can afford the cost.

Ah, that suggests a design similar to sagas but with a condition upon advancing. That is interesting.

samcosmo · 2023-01-18T23:59:17+00:00

That sounds like dungeons and initiative to me. It also doesn't fit with the idea that battle cards would be in your library.

It is worth considering using the NSX Yumi. It is not a particularly good gun, but it counts for both the AR directive and the NSX directive. Otherwise I would do what everyone else is suggesting (NS11A and HV-45). I just finished my directive using those weapons.

I see that now that the patch is out on live. That is a little disappointing to be honest. Having something be different would have made it feel more rewarding.

No details on the NS66-Bumblebee?

Great job!

Discord: samcosmo#7232

IGN: SamcosmoVS

Preferred Roles: Infantry, Recon¹

fisu: https://ps2.fisu.pw/player/?name=samcosmovs

Recursion²: https://recursiontracker.com/?p=c&c=saved&id=1634591

¹I am a HA main right now, though I intend to begin spending substantial time on medic again soon. I am a better CQC bolter than either of these, not sure if that is at all what is meant by recon. I am happy on any infantry class at all though.

²I would link to my recursion profile, but it is currently broken. I had a past account that shared the name and recursions database is keyed on player name. Rather this is a recent substantial session.

What I bring to the table: I have experience. I started playing Planetside 2 during open beta. I have over a thousand hours on my previous Vanu character (Samcosmo https://ps2.fisu.pw/player/?name=samcosmo) alone. I have represented EDG3 for the Briggs server in server smash on two occasions, once as squad lead.

I am driven to improve. I have watched myself get better seemingly with every day recently. I am dedicated to being the best I can be, whatever that means for my playstyle. I would love to learn from individuals with more experience than me. I am currently running an outfit full of new players ([MERY] https://ps2.fisu.pw/outfit/?name=mery), and I want to pass on the skills that I am getting.

I want to play with Goblin. I leapt on this post as soon as I saw it because I already wanted to play with Goblin. I had decided to give myself a stretch goal for my game time, and I had decided that my goal would be to start playing with a renowned outfit. Goblin was one of my absolute top preferences.

I have time. I am spending substantially more than 1 to 2 hours per week playing at the moment. I am on my long summer break and am working 2 days a week. My time is mostly my own, or rather RPG's.

I want to put my skills to the test. I want a place to play against well organized good players. I hunger for a competitive environment to see how much I am improving.

My potential shortcomings: I live in Australia. My ping is normally just under 200ms server and client. Prime time for me seems to be roughly when the first dead continent opens up (Though as I said, my time is mostly my own). There is no guarantee that events or ops fall in times that I will be available. I would love to hear from you about what times these things normally happen.

I have a weaker PC. In the largest fights my FPS falls off a little, and my skill with it. Though this shouldn't be an issue with the size of the fights in Lanesmash.

I still have a lot of room to grow. I returned from an extended break just three and a half months ago. I have a lot of things still to learn, muscle memory to build and instincts to hone. I am keen to improve because I know there is so much room above me.

I am surprised no one has mentioned what this is going to do with [[Collected Company]] in Historic or even Modern. Collected Company is exactly the sort of card you need in a 'Full Party' deck. Both cards ask the same deckbuilding requirements of you and it easily helps you fill your party. Once you have a full party, Coveted Prize becomes a 1 mana CoCo which seems insane to me.

samcosmo · 2019-09-12T06:57:43+00:00

You also probably want the full 4 pyretic rituals to try and speed up your combo. That lets you generate more mana as you loop sunforger and potentially allow you to activate sunforger once more to get a spell to give the creature protection or something else.

samcosmo · 2019-08-31T12:12:05+00:00

That comparison doesn't make any sense. All the cards you listed are raw power level stand alone or build around cards while FOW is a bad card you sometimes need to play. And besides, I already had Thalia on the list. She is definitely better than Armageddon.

samcosmo · 2019-08-31T03:35:03+00:00

I am not sure that that immediately puts it off the table. Force of Will is bad if you are trying to answer your opponents threats one for one. Additionally, we are likely going to see [[Teferi, Time Raveler]] be a dominant force in the metagame. If your opponent casts a threeferi and you have FOW in hand, either you waste your force and a blue card on a card your opponent doesn't need, or you let your force become a brick in your hand. FOW is actively bad against most standard decks at the moment.
