My passion project sees the light of day! What can you do with it? Create builds! Export/import them! Make a build, press Summarize, then use one of the copy buttons below. Look at what abilities do! Mouse over icons on desktop; press icons on mobile/tablet. I don't have any inside info - the data is from fansites and videos - so there are some assumptions behind it that may not be correct: You get one point per level, starting at 2. There are no bonus skill points. The level cap is 25. This I'm pretty sure of, because there is no level 25 tier (which there should be if the cap were 30 or higher), but Iron Fists rank 4 requires level 25. You don't have to spend ability points as soon as you get them. You can hoard them. You can wait until you're level 20 and then learn all level 20 abilities at once. Therefore, the calculator lets you skip levels/hoard points if you turn off strict mode. As a result of these assumptions, there is a maximum of 24 points you can spend in my calculator. This may very well be wrong, so don't take it as gospel. I would love to know if you know/think differently! I have faithfully copied the data as written, other than fixing a few typos here and there, but the following are probably not correct: Rank 2 Corrosive Siphon can permastun an enemy. Freezing Pillar, Blackbow and Pull of Eora can be learned without finding them in a grimoire. These are the only spells that require Grimoire Mastery without having to be learned from a grimoire. I expect they do in fact need to be learned from a grimoire. Sniper is 25% for all ranks. Looking at other passives that are 25% at rank 1, it's probably supposed to be 25%/40%/50% or 25%/35%/40%. And now for some questions you may have about the tool... I want to make a max level build and/or not worry about build order. Turn off strict mode. I exported, but didn't get the build order I had in mind. When you play around and reduce skill levels while in strict mode, the calculator will try to keep your build intact and valid rather than force you to start over, but it cannot always figure out the order when you do this. If you want to be sure it gets the order right, start over and only increase skills to get your build. If you didn't lower any skills while building and the order still ended up wrong, do let me know. I can't increase this skill, why? You've spent all 24 points, the skill has no more ranks, you're missing a pre-requisite (Grimoire Mastery or Unbreakable), or you're in strict mode and taking the skill would cause you to skip levels. I can't lower this skill, why? It's a pre-requisite (Grimoire Mastery or Unbreakable) for a skill you still have. Get rid of that skill first. I have an issue with the calculator. What should I do? Post it here! I have a suggestion for the calculator. What should I do? Post it here! I have made a build that I want to talk about. What should I do? Post it! But not here. Give your build the space it deserves with its own thread!

We were told not to eat mushrooms too (through the grapevine, because officially In USSR Bad Things NEVER Happen!), but there were levels, like "It's your liver" and "Definitely not these". It also birthed a joke - "Q: Can you eat mushrooms from Chernobyl? A: Sure, if you can catch them".

We have saying: 'All mushrooms are edible, some only once tho' side fact - I love mushrooms, they taste great

It was one of nieces 2nd birthday yesterday She is so cute and at that age where kids learn words and develop real personalities I bought her a Peter Rabbit interactive book and it turns out she loves Peter Rabbit and she had a Peter Rabbit themed cake, what a lucky present choice on my part 👌

Im 20 hours into Underrail and its fantastic, I have just completed the Armadillo Drill quest and SGS has been attacked A couple of points I like the economy, money is always scarce and traders have limited money and dont buy everything. I enjoy that aspect of economic realism because it makes you strategic around what you buy and keep Combat is the best part of the game, there are such a myriad of options and items to use. I have adopted Molotov ****tails as my best method of dealing with groups and I use grenades and my Psi abilities to inflict maximum damage and chaos amongst enemies. I like how the game forces you to be selective around skills advancement, you cant be good at everything and there are always multiple solutions to problems around quest advancements. As I mentioned previously I am training psi, stealth, grenades, melee and crossbow. No guns which is a first for me in these types of games I have learnt a lot about the advantages of EMP grenades and electrical attacks on robotic enemies because they created a huge problem for me initially especially in the GMS compound The Depot A compound was very tough and I literally got to Wyatt with no healing items or Psi potions left , I would have been killed if there were any final enemies on his map I decided to select Classic as my XP gain because I prefer the traditional way of gaining XP but I always explore most things anyway so I gain XP from finding oddity items. Its the best of both worlds

Yeah, never eat mushrooms. Eating mushrooms is smurf domicide.

Was about to reply to LadyCrimson about jalapenos on pizza being the best, but when I clicked on "Reply", this was already sitting in there as something I'd previously written like four or five days ago that I hadn't ended up posting but which the forum helpfully restored: "hCaptcha makes me want to become a terrorist." I'd tried to pay for a Christmas present with PayPal and got effectively temp-banned by them several times for failing their captcha too many times. I ended up searching how in the world I could possibly be failing their captchas over and over, and stuff said that if you do the hCaptcha captchas too quickly or too precisely, you'll automatically fail even if you get them right. You're apparently supposed to slowly move your mouse over each possible answer like you're a hundred years old before you select anything, which is what I ended up doing and PayPal finally let me pay. Get me off this stupid planet.

Oh this sweet! Very nice job on the logic and interface!

I don't think anyone but perhaps the most braindead rules based law and order guy is surprised that Biden pardoned his son. There's no way in hell Biden is going to do anything but retire after the start of the year and he may as well flex the benefits while he has them. And while I don't think he cares about political consequences, and neither do the dems generally or else they maybe wouldn't have spent the last 4 months hanging out with Liz Cheney, by the time the next election season hits Hunter Biden will have evaporated from the collective consciousness.

You just know Trump would keep going after him over ridiculous claims, so I can understand the move. Don't really care either, tbh. Trump is an actual convicted felon and slippery like an eel. Now he is even president again. So yeah.. I can see why Biden will try to protect his people. Especially since Trump and Company keep taunting what they are going to do with their enemies. That said, IMO the issue isn't Biden giving a pardon for his son but that he and all presidents can do this in the first place.

--Deleted sql databases/old websites/directories etc off my servers. Not that there was tons, but blargh, still a pain. Just wanted to make sure there was nothing on them that I might really care about, in case I poof it all. --Spent a lot of time with the hubster. He's thinking of taking all Xmas/New Years week off too. His work has been nuts I guess, he's tired/stressed. Or just old. Either or. Anyway, relaxing/pleasant week. --My PC is acting flaky again, although so far only when playing 7 Days. The spontaneous reboot (temps are fine) Blargh. Whatever. Eventually maybe that'll be my "excuse" to build another. --Had pizza. It was yummy. Jalepeno's on pizza is just the best. I wonder what a kimchi pizza might be like - I like kimchi in eggs, tomato sauce based soups, stir fries, maybe I'd like as a pizza topping. I doubt hubby would go for that tho. I'd have to make it myself. Hehe.

Hi, I totally agree with Boeroer (how can I contradict him? 😄). I think Weyc's equip could be good for a wizard, especially a single class one. There are few wands in the game, but special ones are fine, and the modal fits well with a debuffing character. Avoid scepter as backup weapon, they do crush damage but its modal is dangeorus for Bloodmages, in case of pierce resistance enemies, I'd go with wand and debuffing modal (but you should be full of spells, so you sould not have this problem 😉 ). Anyway, Bloodmage is maybe the best class option to be played single class, so in doubt I'll do in this way.

Not exactly surprising. Probably the only thing less surprising is that he said he wouldn't; before the election. The only really interesting thing is the dates and specifically it being backdated to 2014- and Hunter's completely legal and above board directorship in Burisma. Though as embarrassing and as much of a bad look as it is pardoning your own son...well, it seems extremely likely that Trump will be worse. He already pardoned Jared Kushner's crook father- among other questionable choices- and may well pardon himself if he thinks the Supreme Courts immunity ruling isn't enough. And of course Bill Clinton also pardoned his brother.

Like hell you are, liar. Nobody's interested in COBOL.

Luckily I was able to return the coat. I don't need to make an onlyfans account after all.

Then single class Bloodmage totally works. I wouldn't raise Might too high because it also increases the self damage of Blood Sacrifice. INT, DEX and PER are the most important attributes. For gear besides the helmet and +1-spells-grimoire I mentioned above you might want to look at Fleshmender (Leather Armor with a regenerative healing effect). It also gives you more Quick Slots = more grimoires. The more grimoires you can hold in your Quick Slots the more flexibility with your spell selection you can have and be able to pick more passive abilities from the ability tree instead of picking spells which you'd only use occasionally.

Hi! There is no definitive answer for your question. Both can be very good, depending on what you want to do/how you want to play your Bloodmage. In general a Bloodmage - like all Wizards - can be great as a single class character. They get fantastic spells at the highest Power Levels (which multiclassed Bloodmages won't get) - and they advance through their Power Levels/spell tiers faster than a multiclass and get better scaling for their spells. This is most advantageous if you want to play a traditional Wizard role: sling powerful spells all day long. However, if you want to play a Bloodmage a bit differently, for example play one who also can do good stuff in melee combat or who can heal party members or is good with ranged weapons and so on, then multiclassing might be better. Even when focusing on spellcasting a multiclass can be great. One example is Assassin(Rogue)/Bloodmage. Even if you don't plan on using weapons at all: the Assassin gets +25 accuracy and increased penetration as well as increased crit damage for all his offensive actions if he's stealthed or invisible. This also applies to his spells. This can be a valid reason to go that multiclass route - even if it means that you lose access to the high level spells. Livegiver(Cat form)/Bloodmage is also a popular spellcaster. You combine your healing spells with Blood Sacrifice and use the Cat form (and Cat Flurry) to cast spells incredibly fast. Then there's also some potent synergies between certain (subclass) abilities: for example Fighter's Unbending + Bloodmage's Wall of Draining makes you basically unkillable. Same as Barring Death's Door (Priest) + Wall of Draining, which makes you truly unkillable. Rogue's Escape gives you +50 deflection for a very short time. But if combined with Wall of Draining it stays for a very long time instead... So I would suggest you specify how you envision your Bloodmage to function, then we can give better advice. If you just like the classic Wizard feeling then single class Bloodmage is great. The last two spell tiers are awesome. That also depends on the specific role/how you want to play him. A backline spellcaster can relatively safely drop CON* and RES. Profits from high INT, DEX and PER. High MIG, too - if damaging spells are a priority. If the focus is on debuffing/CC then high MIG is not needed. *Don't drop CON all the way as a single class Bloodmage. You rely on your health to regain spell uses (Blood Sacrifice). It's beneficial to have a robust health pool if want to draw from it frequently and have no constant source of healing. Again depends. But a generally goodthing is to use arquebus. There's a soulbound one which can be bound to wizards. And it can give your spells a 10% corrosive lash - a multiplicative damage bonus. It also heals on hits occasionally which is nice for a Bloodmage. Essential Phantom (wizard summon spell) copies your weapons. So it's possible to have a phantom running around with your arquebus, shooting enemies. Since the phantom doesn't cast spells you might want to get the Red Hand arquebus (best arquebus for DPS) and hold it while you summon the phantom. Then the phantom will have it, too - and use it on enemies. Then you can switch to the soulbound one I mentioned before. Must-have equipment... there's too much stuff that is great for all kinds of approaches. But in general for a single class Wizard getting Rekvu's Fractured Casque (helmet) + Grimoire of Vaporous Wizardry is a top choice. You will get +1 spell uses for each spell tier. But you will get interrupted every time you take damage - which is super bad. Fortunately the helmet makes you completely immune to interrupts as long as you have an injury. It is very easy to cause yourself a harmless injury: cast Necrotic Lance on yourself out of combat until you drop, done: very minor injury, immunity against all interrupts and lots of extra spells. The rest doesn't matter too much and also changes throughout the game. A Bloodmage might profit well from +max. health gear (mostly amulet) and health regeneration gear (rings, belts and/or armor). Also bonus INT, PER and DEX items alre always welcome. If you specify how your wizard is supposed to play there can be more specific recommendations for gear I think. Cheers!

And we were supposed to avoid eating mushrooms. Not much of a problem for me, having never really liked them anyway. Good old times.

Carnage can trigger multiple times, but if it does in a short time frame (for example when Swift Flurry/HBD procs) the game will tell you something like "similar effect already applied". So it doesn't really "stack" like it did in PoE1. Weapon effects which get triggered not only by weapon attacks but on spells etc., too (universal), should also proc on Carnage hits (or kills): Scordeo's Edge: Double Strike Sungrazer: Return Orbit Engoliero do Espirs: Cruel Blade and Blade Feast The Twin Eels: Breath of Life Azure Blade: Wrong Place, Wrong Time Sanguine Greatsword: Thirsty Blade and Parched Blade Oathbreaker's End: Found Guilty/Innocent Dire Talon: Tooth and Claw Aamiina Legacy: Slayer of Beasts The Spine of Thicket Green: Purge Decay Wicked Beast: Wild Heart Amaliorra: Ash and Dust Amaliorra: Innevitable Decay Whispers of Yenwood: Soul Cutter Xoti's Sickle: Soul Reaper List originally composed by @Constentin Lévine

Yeah I did that (advanced settings as well, disc release). There are some micro freezes in busy areas that seem more to do with A-Life though, that is AI entering the fold and spawning. Plus there is one underground sequence so far where the fps drop (very briefly). So the game isn't completely without drops even on a 2019/2020ish computer (that's what my PC is roughly spec'd at, not a high end one though). Overall, the game plays fine. Also gave Call Of Pripyat a shot for the first ever time. Seems they went into the Stalker 2ish direction years ago already, with more open maps and all. There's also surprisingly few battles so far in that one, unless you actively engage every mutant roaming the zones. Considering that the introduction states there'd be just like 100-200 stalkers roaming the entire area, that seems more believable. Internet rumor has it that THQ pushed them to have more gunfights for Shadow Of Chernobyl back in 2007. Considering that was also the year Bioshock's devs were scared chicken of boring the FPS crowd if they didn't introduce more stuff to shoot in the face (sorry, German), I'm almost inclined to believe that rumour. 😄 Watching a couple Chernobyl docs these days too. Still remember when we had to wash our hands after playing outside in kindergarten (I was in my last kindergarten year in Germany, April 1986 was a couple months before I went to elementary school that summer). #allindazone

So many rules. I am trying to implement a new one: If you want to buy a new game, play one you own but haven't played yet first.

Esper Mami: Dancing Dolls in the Starlit Sky (1988). It's a movie to a series...which, like Azuki-chan, has also not been subtitled. Tsk, tsk. Anyways, it's about this girl named Mami who has...voodoo powers? I think she's supposed to be psychokinetic (hence "Esper" in the title), but the way it's shown when she's using it on people or objects makes it seem more like voodoo, especially because she's always making devil horns with her hands. Her bizarre teleportation power at least seems fairly benign. Anyways, it's clearly a shoujo-type film along the lines of Secret of Akko-chan or Chibi Maruko-chan: Mami helps local puppeteers entertain a large group of children when they run short of the staff needed to perform the show, a young girl whose mother recently died loses the precious doll that her mom gave her, Mami tries to go find it but discovers it was already destroyed at the local garbage dump, so then we tie it all together with the group of puppeteers that help put on a very special show just for the little girl to...basically help her realize that it's not the doll that's important, it's the memory of her mother and the other people still around her that she cares about that are important. It's cute and it's done pretty well. What felt like a complete episode of a show takes a sudden left turn when the puppeteers have their building partially bulldozed by some nasty real estate developers that apparently bought out the land from the guy they were renting from - everyone basically throws their hands up and goes "well, that was fun while it lasted, but we can't deal with this and have real lives we need to get back to, bye!"...except for the lady and the guy who are clearly very close to each other but were maybe too focused on their work to realize it. Some stuff and things happen, Mami uses a little of her psychic powers combined with her girly thoughtfulness to encourage them to not give up and things are - more or less - eventually made right. Now, I know nobody really much cares about this, but I say all of this because really, this movie could all have been a Cardcaptor Sakura episode or two, and yet, there's something that is very confusing to me. I went to Wikipedia to read more about the series, and...what is that? Shonen? Shonen? This is shonen? I'm sorry, what? Either this movie and/or the anime series it belongs to is very different from the manga or I must have lost my mind. Wait, wait, stop, hold on just a second...what was that last bit? "And who also poses nude for her own father"? Now, I'm no great linguist, but the way I read that line would seem to suggest that...Mami, the very same one from Esper Mami, the young girl in the movie that I just watched that is pictured above...poses nude for her father? Uh, why? Even if three's some kind of in-universe explanation for it that is innocent enough, why would that even be a thing? Dad makes his young teenaged daughter regularly pose nude for his paintings? Um, yuck? Oh, here's a comment I just read on the apparently botched Japanese DVD release of the main series: Oh, oookay. Well, you know what? As far as my brain is concerned, only the non-canonical movie exists, and it's officially a shoujo movie, and a fairly decent one at that, and I think that's just where we're going to have to leave it.

Now if you only let the chimps reproduce when they type out valid words, eventually you might evolve a species that could read and type out Shakespeare's works. Problem solved. 😇
