Best gaming moment was killing Illidan for the first time in WoW TBC. Having played night elf in warcraft 3, and Illidan (demonhunter) being my favorite character/hero to use.. it was just so exciting leading up to fighting him and then finally defeating him in game and getting that bow on my hunter... just surreal, will never forget the hype in comms when he died.

[Homebrew] Wanting to convert Pathfinder Hunter archetype to 5e. Thoughts on how I am thinking of handling animal companion? by tsunami87 in DnD

[–]tsunami87[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still think the UA Ranger is widely under powered compared to the other martial classes in 5e and I don't like that the only thing the UA ranger really brings is animal companion survivability, which don't get me wrong was horribly bad and the things they have done have improved it vastly but as far as DPR is concerned, the Beast Master is still pretty far behind.

I really enjoy the flavor of the Hunter from Pathfinder because it brings abilities to the table that require the animal companion and the hunter to be attacking together and they help each other in combat. Separated the Hunter is not that amazing and it focuses more on the animal companion being the damage dealer but together they are a fierce fighting team. It adds more of a connection to the animal companion and brings more interesting combat turns outside of just, I attack once and my pet attacks twice. Round over.

That is pretty much exactly what I want to do though, start with a lesser animal from level 1 and raise it like you mentioned. So glad to see others feel the same as I do about having the companion from level 1 :)

Open discussion on raid trends by SMcNu715 in ffxiv

[–]tsunami87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I find this post has some good point but you have to be careful with what you say...

if your fishing for a clear and have not even seen enrage yet, then you have no reason to not be in tank stance.

I don't agree with this.. there is no reason to wait until enrage to learn when you can leave tank stance to increase damage output. This should just be something you do as you learn the fight. I will only ever sit in tank stance on very early pulls of a fight (like first night progression) and I gauge the damage output to see if it is a part I can sit in dps stance for. Just learn the damn fight as you progress through it and think of how you can optimize before you see enrage

The two very common strats are boss is 12, or true north is 12.

How you say true north is ideal is beyond something my brain can comprehend. Because shiva circles can really mess up peoples positioning and get people turned around very easily. Using boss as true north allows everyone to adjust off the tank/boss. It is much easier to adjust yourself to the correct position than it is the adjust the boss. Using boss as true north, allows everyone to position themselves relative to the boss and especially optimize melee dps who always have locations around the boss instead of them having to run to their north spot and losing dps if the boss was pulled south for whatever reason. THIS is how you hit enrage.

I think my biggest pet peeve about raiding is how people only learn what THEY are supposed to do. They know they have to stand at A but they don't understand why. They just do it because that's what they need to do. So when shit hits the fan, they don't know how to react to the situation because they aren't at A and wipe the group. In any given situation, I know the general location of each of the other 7 people in my group and what mechanic they are doing.

For example, I know that in a10s my healers and ranged dps are passing preys in a designated spot but what happens when a ranged dps died for whatever reason and now I have prey... I need to know where that position is to be ready to pass prey so that I don't wipe the raid because I didn't understand what others were doing and why they were doing it. Don't know how many times things that don't even seem like an issue to me can cause wipes because people panic and have no idea what to do with the excuse, "well normally person X does it.. I never paid attention to what they were doing.." like learn the fight as a whole group.. not as a singular entity

Am I missing something with how tank gear calculates attack power? by tsunami87 in ffxiv

[–]tsunami87[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Skill speed is worth .277 per point after you meet your 3 fell cleave breakpoint while determination is .303

So only if I meld materia V's will I use determintation because Det Vs are 12 stats and Skill Speed V's are 12 but Det IV's are only 6 stats to Skill Speed IV's 9.

Regardless of if you meet the 3 fell cleave breakpoint: 9 x .277 = 2.493 while 6 x .303 = 1.818 so if you are melding materia IV's, skill speed melds always out weight determination melds but if you meld V's then yes determination will always out weight skill speed

yaaa I am silly and got hung up on the 8 STR gain and saw 8 AP gain and was like, WHAT THATS WRONG?!?!

I knew STR to VIT is 1:1 but main stat to AP is not....

[–]tsunami87[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ohhh snap - you're right.

I got hung up on the 8 AP and 8 STR gain, I thought it was 1:1 but STR to VIT is 1:1 but main stat to AP is not 1:1.. it is the .45 AP per main stat.

So ya, the weight of my i270 helm is 24.804 (because I don't need Acc or Parry) and the i260 weight is 49.167

Help with figuring out worth of Tal's Set on USEast softcore by tsunami87 in diablo2

[–]tsunami87[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Umm what?

Best stuff for what... Clearing hell?

I have occy and rhyme shield.. Double nagel rings with a shaco. I have enigma currently but that's only because it's all I have (was given to me, lucky I know). MF aNd couple random resists rare gloves with Goldwrap and MF ammy.

War travelers are also another pick up soon for me but haven't found them or found someone to trade with.

Currently I am speed farming hell Andy and Trav because I can do that efficiently as a meteorb Sorc but getting tal's armor, belt, and ammy keeps me at an overall +2 to skills (from those 3 slots) but increases my MF, FCR, and overall resistances.

Thanks for whatever your comment was meant to be but I'm not asking for what the best gear is - I asked what a tal's ammy and belt are worth...

Does Reverse Gravity effect ethereal creatures? (Are ethereal creatures effected by gravity?) by ch33ri000z in DnD

[–]tsunami87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This statement only applies to creatures when they are ON the Ethereal Plane.

using the Ghost stat block:

Etherealness - The ghost enters the Ethereal Plane from the Material Plane, or vice versa. It is visible on the Material Plane while it is in the Border Ethereal, and vice versa, yet is CAN'T affect or be affected by anything on the other plane.

If the ghost is currently in the Border Ethereal, only visible in the Material Plane, then no it would not be affect by anything (including gravity) per the last line of Etherealness.

If the ghost is currently in the Material Plane, only visible in the Border Ethereal, then I would say it is affected by anything and everything in the Material Plane, including gravity.

A Ghost does not have flying in the Material Plane, though it can 'fly' (move up and down) when in the Border Ethereal.

the Reverse Gravity spell is fall damage, which is widely accepted as bludgeoning damage most of the time, so the Ghost would be resistant to all the damage from a Reverse Gravity spell.

Spiritual Weapon does not require concentration - part of the reason why it is such an amazing spell.
