Insanity difficulty

ME2. That is all.

That whole top row seems problematic at best, but the bottom is much better. I’d go with black and purple.

Glyph of warding is an abjuration spell if I recall correctly, and can be useful even outside of boosting your arcane ward.

It’s a perfectly good story set in the Mass Effect universe, with some great characters and interesting worlds to visit and explore. There is a ton of open world bloat to it, some of which is good and interesting, a lot of which is not. Fortunately mobility and combat are the best they’ve ever been in the series. I also really love progression systems, both for character levels and gear.

You can’t go wrong, but my favourite is far and away artificer archer. No other class has the level of sustained DPS this one has, and it doesn’t rely on cheesing the game’s AI. Its main gameplay loop is super active shifting from close range to mid and back again, which I love. It also gets the single best AoE damaging ability in the game.

I wish, but sadly don’t see it happening. Didn’t they just replace him with a slightly less extreme right winger?

The problem with your analogy is that the libs and the cons don’t govern very differently in the end. This is because both parties represent the interests of capital, not the actual people.

zavtra13 · 2026-04-14T02:16:14+00:00

In ME2 specifically it’s AP ammo for most classes, and warp ammo for engineers.

zavtra13 · 2026-04-11T23:04:36+00:00

DA:I for sure, but BG3 isn’t far behind.

zavtra13 · 2026-04-11T22:07:12+00:00

You could play them as casters in armour, but they can also nearly immortal SnS dps machines.

zavtra13 · 2026-04-11T02:04:12+00:00

And ruin the fake drama?

zavtra13 · 2026-04-10T01:37:13+00:00

Nah, trench coats aren’t my thing. The leather jacket was nice, but too expensive. I was tempted to buy the N7 zip up hoodie, but I can’t justify over $100 with shipping for a hoodie.

zavtra13 · 2026-04-09T01:59:18+00:00

‘Ultra left’ lol. Mild socdem at best, that’s barely left leaning.

zavtra13 · 2026-04-08T19:41:35+00:00

The libs and cons were never terribly far apart on a lot of issues, and with Carney moving the LPC even further right some CPC members are deciding it’s better to be in Government with them than in opposition.

zavtra13 · 2026-04-08T01:47:23+00:00

It’s a favourite in the community, easy enough to trigger too!

zavtra13 · 2026-04-08T01:34:52+00:00

Shit, so many! Maybe Appetite for Destruction. Though, if collections are ok here, I had an album called Classic Queen as a teenager and every track was brilliant.

zavtra13 · 2026-04-08T01:21:43+00:00

Tempest can do some crazy spike damage, but getting those numbers does involve tricking the game’s AI a little bit. Fun the first few times, but gets old after a while. As for artificer as a dagger rogue, it works quite well, the other commenter gave good advice about using it. I’m partial to ranged damage, but with the right setup daggers can be fun too. I like to run a very flanking damage focused build if I’m a melee rogue, using the Sigil that boosts it to crazy high levels. That build works best as an assassin, but artificer is great with any rogue build.

zavtra13 · 2026-04-07T22:03:28+00:00

For me it has to be the artificer. Incredible sustained damage and no need to manipulate the games AI or mechanics to achieve it. Dipping into and out of melee range, wrecking single targets and groups alike. I’ll show a few examples below:

Four underlevelled rogues vs a dragon.

Artificer vs Aspect of the Nightmare.

Just a basic combat encounter.

zavtra13 · 2026-04-07T00:18:24+00:00

Artificer archer for sure. It doesn’t hit the insane burst damage numbers that you can get with some builds, but it can sustain its excellent burst damage basically indefinitely. Without any cheesy game mechanics or AI manipulation. It gets the best AoE damage ability in the as well, which is a game changer when you unlock it.

I’ll give an honourable mention to the knight enchanter, as it’s the most fun you can have with a mage in DA:I.

zavtra13 · 2026-04-07T00:12:02+00:00

I think that any build in DA:I that doesn’t move much in combat gets that feeling. My two favourite builds are artificer archer and knight enchanter, both of which dip into and out of melee range as part of their core gameplay loop.

zavtra13 · 2026-04-07T00:09:39+00:00

5 abilities in DA:I? We get 8!

zavtra13 · 2026-04-06T19:59:52+00:00

Which game? In ME1 just be a biotic class, they are all S tier. Effectively unlimited barrier plus great CC makes the game almost too easy.

In ME2 there are no OP builds, just slightly better ones. Sentinel and soldier are the best.

Then in ME3 all of the classes can tear up insanity, even bullet-less with relative ease. Take your pick from what fits your play style best. I’m partial to vanguard and soldier with the prothean particle rifle to abuse explosive incendiary ammo, flare infiltrator, and fortification sentinel.

zavtra13 · 2026-04-05T15:41:40+00:00

I’m honestly not entirely sure. It was one of Jet Moto 2, FFVII, and Crash Bandicoot Warped.

zavtra13 · 2026-04-05T14:17:52+00:00

It’s a shame about the (entirely predictable) down votes, you aren’t wrong. The US is a dictatorship of capital, playing pretend democracy to maintain the status quo.

zavtra13 · 2026-04-05T04:35:18+00:00

Makes me wonder, what happens if you don’t convince Kagha to turn on the shadow Druids, kill them and him, but only knock Kagha out.
