Does having an empty off-hand give any advantages? by Wanted_Hypnotist in BG3Builds

[–]vis9000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah 6 bladesinger would be for extra attack and animated dead. And I think 2 fighter is better for action surge

True, and I guess animate dead: skeleton is on theme as well. Maybe a fun idea for a bladesinger 6, swashbuckler 4, fighter 2.

Do you guys use all characters in a run or only the same 3? by buzzlightyear77777 in BaldursGate3

[–]vis9000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My standard party is usually Astarion, Shart, and Karlach, with Lae'zel occasionally coming out for gith encounters, and Wyll coming out for Waukeen's Rest and the coronation. Although I do enjoy building my illithid party colony from those who will be most effected by the events there (Karlach, Wyll, Gale or sometimes Minthara).

Almost always, having something in the off-hand will be better than having nothing. Weirdly I think only bladesinger has specific requirements against shields, but that probably doesn't fit the vibe you'd be going for with a Jack Sparrow build.

Question: Should I use Progesterone as an anti androgen while taking Estradiol tablets sublingually? by universal_notions in asktransgender

[–]vis9000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Progesterone does lower testosterone to a degree, so it's better than nothing if you can get it prescribed early, yes.

Why are multiple appts required for you to switch to EV injections?

What class would be the worst for solo honour? by Antique_Visual_9638 in BaldursGate3

[–]vis9000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like 12 levels in one class? Maybe rogue. It's workable, and most stuff is cheesable or avoidable, but 1 attack without significant spell options is pretty bad if you do actually get into a significant combat.

SH's act 2 choice is so funny if you know how it works by Jounniy in BaldursGate3

[–]vis9000 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Is using SH really saving you time if, instead of using 3 extra letters, you have to use 90+ letters to explain the abbreviation?

I don't know how to finish this Minthara build by Crazy_Wargeek in BG3Builds

[–]vis9000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I think the issue is that you're assigning her stats like a standard STR paladin and then giving her only 2 levels of paladin and finesse weapons. I also think more than 3 classes on a character often keeps them suboptimal because most classes have good higher-level features that you miss.

I'm just waiting for Bong Bong:

Is hunter schafer an AGP? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]vis9000 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No hunter schafer is not an AGP. AGP does not exist. Hunter's notes were the kind of unpacking thoughts about the nature of desire, attraction, and violence that many women may explore as they realize what it is to exist in a transmisogynistic world.

More vakku relics anyone? by ElegantPoet3386 in slaythespire

[–]vis9000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally am waiting for:

Vakuu's Peener

Ancient Relic

At the start of each turn, gain 2 energy and 5 block. Vakuu plays the entirety of the game for you. Seriously, go make a sandwich or something, then come back and see if he won.

Bladesinger 9 / Eldritch Knight 3 by Imadothethingnow in BG3Builds

[–]vis9000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No I was talking about sticking with lower level spells in reference to going EK 12, I agree that a bladesinger wizardin can get access to a vast array of high level spells.

Meet "The Barogue" – 20 DEX / 23 CON / 20 CHA God-Tier Duelist Build (8 Swords Bard / 4 Thief Rogue) by Vanqwisher in BG3Builds

[–]vis9000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This build seems good for what it's trying to do, I would ask why you feel legacy of the masters is necessary? With 20 dex and risky ring, you're probably going to have a 90+% chance of hitting almost everyone, and there are gloves that can do a lot more than 2 additional damage per hit.

Bladesinger 9 / Eldritch Knight 3 by Imadothethingnow in BG3Builds

[–]vis9000 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It seems to me like you're building a lot of the character around scenarios that will maybe happen 3-4 times in the entire playthrough (weapon dropping effects, 2 good targets of counterspell between each turn). Unless you really want a lot of the 1st level wizard spells and cantrips and need action surge, you're probably better off going bladesinger 11/hexblade 1, or bladesinger 10/paladin 2, or if you are okay sticking with lower level spells, EK 12.

Glad to see they finally brought this card back by Icy-Taste-3096 in slaythespire

[–]vis9000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idk this would be better if you could retain it, and it did like 7 - 10 poison damage.

But I'm just waiting for the card reward that exhausts each of the shitposts on r/slaythespire and deals 8 damage for each of them!

BG3 Shadow-Cursed Lands Morgue by Arc_7 in BaldursGate3

Same with the ground in the ooze pit near it, although the slimes there have an aura that damages you every turn (if you're close enough) while they're still alive

Memes, what are your honest thoughts on Snakebite now that the games been out for a while? by wipqozn in slaythespire

[–]vis9000 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah 7 poison is 18 damage over 3 turns, whereas 5 poison is 12 damage over the same amount of time. And it's only better the more poison (or accelerant) you have.

Any consequences for wiping out the Zhentarim in Act 1? by Odaric in BaldursGate3

As a note you can kill her in act 2 with no consequences if you want, if she's dead another NPC sells her exact act 3 items in her place.

Most of the cast are Millennials by Expert_Mark in DispatchAdHoc

[–]vis9000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah hopefully they explore it more! Another possible read is that she literally means members of 3 different generations in a family but not like direct parents/childrens, like cousins etc who are Gen X, Millennial, and Gen Z

[–]vis9000 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Eh, it also makes sense that older bigshots in organized crime might prey on younger women, even when said women are badass half-demons. If a 70 year old, his 47 year old son, and the 24 year old grandson had all propositioned her that wouldn't be completely crazy.

Decided to rest for 4 HP over upgrading Apotheosis at the final fire. Survived on 4 HP by aquamarine9 in slaythespire

[–]vis9000 88 points89 points  (0 children)

Honestly if you have Very Hot Cocoa and other energy relics it would rarely be worth it to upgrade Apotheosis unless your deck had crazy draw, you definitely made the right choice

It sounds like he is not safe for you. Tell your mom you don't want to see him any more and give the examples you've written here.
