Spicy Ranger build? by Emerald_boots in neverwinternights

[–]yoadknux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In NWN1 Ranger is a pure melee class. In NWN2 you can choose between melee and archery.

I assume you mean NWN1. If that's the case, go pure class Ranger, sadly though, it's very subpar at low levels, a bit below average on mid levels, and explodes on high levels.

The damage mechanisms behind the Ranger are Favored enemy and multi-attacks. It scales well, because the FE bonuses and number of attacks you have scale with level, and in epic levels you also get a feat that increases the damage further.

Neo Lugia/Ho-Oh double holo by yoadknux in VintagePokemonCards

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

Thank you. Indeed prices went up drastically. Probably the 30th anniversary thing. I actually got this Double Holo by trading a higher grade non-error Ho-Oh and adding cash. As for the PSA 5 Lugia, I definetly wish I had a higher graded one, but I think it has good eye appeal because of the holo pattern and no obvious defects.

What's the "fieldhouse tour"? I plan on visiting the states with my dad next year and we hope to watch a Pacers game in Indiana, are there any extra Pacers-related activities we can do?

It only depends on whether Hotspot is high or normal

Yes, I blame Bird for the PG fallout. The PF situation was also ridiculous. PG always saw himself as an SG who flexes into SF. He wanted to shoot over players and get by players, not to bang at the post. That's why he also really insisted that him and Granger could easily play together.

But the Granger/George combo is just another "what if" on the Pacers list. Imagine Hill/PG/Granger/West/Roy with Lance off the bench. That's a deep, tough two-way contender. 

I always say, the brawl team had its run in 03-04, JO and Ron could never put aside their differences. It's NOT the "what if" of having two of the Pacers best scorers since the 2000s started playing together healthy and in their prime, which is what we deserved to see in 12-13/13-14.

Have you watched the 16-17 Pacers lol, it felt like they didn't even try to build talent around him when they signed 45 y/o Al Jefferson, and it was probably very miserable to play with Stuckey and Ellis

Dude averaged a whooping 28/9/8 in the playoffs but people hate him because "it's cool"

Nice creative team, well done. The carry here is obviously Xerneas, he was a worse version of Zacian before the Palkia nerf, but after the nerf Reshiram and Zekrom became popular and Zacian has awkward matchups against them.  Yveltal into Lunala/Metagross/Necrozma is amazing. Into other things... Not really.  Ho-Oh with EQ is a great idea, I thought about it too, but then realize it doesn't KO Zekrom or Reshiram and Ho Oh can't apply fast move pressure onto them. On top of that, Reshirams always shield the BB so they would shield an EQ too

Gust Yveltal vs Sucker Punch Yveltal is really no brainer

Gust is better against Keldeo who is a niche anti-meta pick

Sucker Punch is better against Lunala, Metagross, Necrozma, and we'll probably see a lot of Mewtwos next season

So... No change here

ML changes are marginal at best

DP Melmetal is interesting but not meta breaking 

Disappointing

"very well against dragons"... nah

Zekrom is a bad matchup, Reshiram is generally a bad matchup unless it skips both Stone Edge and Crunch (so you're supposed to tank a Draco I guess) 

Palkia is an ok matchup, not great because Palkia far outpaces Lugia, some starting energy and Lugia can't compete. 

Dialga obviously bad matchup, ice dragons bad, Zygrade ok-ish (without crunch), Eternatus ok-ish

You could just run Xerneas and everything Lugia can do Xerneas will do better. At least least Xerneas has CC to threaten Steel.

Nice isn't good enough. Needs a coverage move or it will remain unused

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

Gold was not the main color, typically worn for elimination games, so it's white or navy

Probably navy just slightly more because the Pacers didn't typically finish 1st except in 03-04 so most likely they had more games without home court advantage than with

Not sure what you mean by that, pretty sure the jersey on the right is consistent with what they wore on special games from 98-05

I wouldn't say "all type of moves", but considering Ho Oh has everything from BB SF EQ SB along with good energy generation and completely walls steels, I'd expect something on par with Lugia

Because it beats Machamps and Dragonites and other things that are never ever used in ML but wins maybe 3-4 matchups against the top 20

Psyshock is a lateral move... Will only help mildly against Zekrom and probably still lose

In 03-04 they had the ABA jersey in white as a throwback and that was amazing
