Help on a Ranged Rogue 3.5? by Qwertysdoin DnD

[–]Magres 0 points1 point ago

There is one way to make a ranged rogue good, but it requires a friend to pair up with. A Ranger with the Distracting Shot ACF makes enemies be considered flanked for one attack every time they hit someone.

Basically, the two of you stand side by side, delay so the Ranger goes right before the Rogue goes, then the Ranger shoots every enemy he can once, and the Rogue follows up with a string of sneak attack shots. A couple friends of mine did it in a campaign and absolutely blew through encounters

Added. Dremora is our captain, our team captains should get together and see if we can put some IH scrims going

Augh, Far Seer is an evil, evil hero for glimpse shenanigans

I want the old Alchemist stun back :( He was equally terrible back then, but he was actually fun, and a good pub ganker

Haha, I think our Mirana had over 700 CS, he was also shitting out old

Aghs Mom is my favorite build. You stop being able to initiate, but man you blow down towers. Get a DD, cackle maniacally, and go kill a tower in six seconds flat.

Yet another question: If you could have one skill from the world of Dota2 in real life, what would it be? by Carutin DotA2

[–]Magres 0 points1 point ago

When you're about to hit something you snap your fingers and get to bounce back six seconds, knowing that it's coming. Right now, measure out six seconds. Could you make a "snap" decision in that much time? You play DotA, you should be used to making tactical and situational decisions in a tenth of a second.

Edit: Or how about if someone really pisses you off? Slug them in the mouth as hard as you can, gloat for a second, then Time Lapse. Make a bad move in DotA? Time Lapse, get a second try. Say something stupid to your SO? Time Lapse, keep your damn mouth shut. Any sport ever, you can try a move twice.

Eh, I never noticed. I play a lot of DotA, no one is as rowdy as the DotA crowd

Ach, haha. We kept trying to pick you off so we could push and you kept freaking buying back! Such a good game :D We should in-house some time

Augh, you and your bastard wards! :D They almost broke the two side raxes like three different times, one of us would wind up screaming "KILL THE FUCKING WARDS" over Mumble to get everyone to focus them down. Well played, definitely my longest game as well

I've actually used this with SK's ult before when I was having a shitty game as SK. I was having trouble getting my dagger, so my OD teammate force staffed me into fights as I was winding up my ult so I'd finish ulting right as the push ended. Nice way to save my burrowstrike for actual stunning instead of for closing the gap to quake people

Haha, a couple times when I was heading into a teamfight I screamed warcries. "MY BODY IS READY!"

Can I get a neutral opinion on the direction of where WoW is going? by Metzkyin truegaming

[–]Magres 6 points7 points ago

I definitely agree with the GW2 recommendation. The market structure of the Guild Wars games, in my opinion, should lead to a more healthy game development cycle than the subscription based model.

Also, the mechanics of the GW lend itself more to planned and intelligent PvP than WoW, because of the skill bar mechanic and being able to take a secondary class.

Haha, a couple times when I rezzed and was coming back into a fight I screamed "MY BODY IS READY." More than once, their entire team ran as soon as I started screaming :D

I like the spacing out to music idea a lot, I'll try that my next tourney. It also probably doesn't help that I was sore as fuck from lifting this tourney, haha

Played the beta ages ago; how have things changed? by 43558in WorldofTanks

[–]Magres 2 points3 points ago

There's no way to skip grinding. Whether you convert a lot of XP to free XP or not, you still have to earn that XP fair and square.

If you want a very "grind free" line, take the Russian line up to the IS-7. The whole line is extremely, extremely solid with no real weak tanks and the IS, IS-3, IS-8, and IS-7 are all an absolute joy to play, and good in CW too. (Honestly, I think the IS-7 is the best overall tank in the game because it's fun in pubs and solid in CW too. But it's by no means OP, it's just solid all around, and a very fun brawl-y playstyle)

So yeah, I recommend Russian heavies

I wouldn't say necessarily most overpowered - one, overpoweredness is extremely subjective. Some tanks are great pubstomping tanks but not very strong CW tanks (E-100, E-50, T-54, Patton are all like this. They're great tanks and very strong in pubs, but not that useful in CW anymore). I think it's generally because they're strong jack-of-all-trades, where CW tanks tend to be specialized and BRILLIANT at one role, and we only ever put them in that role.

Other tanks are great CW tanks but not that great in pubs - imo the Maus and (sometimes) Batchat/50B are like this. They're all tanks that have specific roles that are very team oriented and extremely good in their element, but very bad outside of their element. The 50B in the right hands in pubs will wait around until a situation that favors them evolves then engage, but often people just HURRDURR their way into terrible fights in pub games.

What's your fastest win? by Legand_daryin WorldofTanks

[–]Magres 2 points3 points ago

One game where we (RDDT) had a double sync platoon of six T-50s and T-50-2s on Himmelsdorf. We waited one minute, then bumrushed cap en masse, and won by about 13:30 by cramming our little bodies together as best we could and making a meat shield around a core of cappers

I'd put it up there for press, but never, ever leave it up there.

Great work dude! The spinning flip at the end was extra awesome looking :D

Out of curiosity, how often do you train? I'm looking to start training, but have an absolutely insane schedule as it is, so I'll probably only be able to do dedicated parkour training like once a week, and I'm trying to decide if once a week is even worth bothering with or if I should just wait until my schedule frees up a little

No kidding. And people who don't unrack big plates from barbells and leave them high up in the rack are just as bad. One of my friends is 5'2" and she can't unrack 45lb plates safely if the bar is high up on the rack.
