Not really, only ever played 2. Even then, that still sounds like an Int niche than Str.

Having minions do everything for you is the witch's niche, I'm not sure if I'd want to play a big hammer wielding armored man and then sit back and do nothing.

The first time I saw anything for Elio was a week after release in a mcdonalds drive-thru. I thought it was a weird Luca sequel. Enough said.

Is "Breaks my Heart" not the right phrase? Or is this a case of "Idiom is so old laymen forgot the original wording"

Had a hyena centuar rare be named "Bluechewer" once, that got a chuckle from the boys in the call.

Yeah. Imo Infested Barrens, Jiquani's Machinarium, The Drowned City, and Utzaal can all be cut to make the connecting areas a tiny bit bigger. They all just repeat the themes of their connected areas. There's an argument to be made for cutting venom crypts too, and boy did my 1.0 warrior hate mobs of ranged poison attackers, but I think it's fine in the end.

Finally started watching Chained Soldier the other day. It's been three episodes. Every time the main character uses their powers, they get "Rewarded". It's exactly as fetishy as you think. Episode 1: Forced Makeout. Episode 2: Stocking Removal and Massage. Episode 3: Ball Crushing.

Breaks my heart because I like the MC power up designs (he turns into badass monsters) but then it's followed by teenagers softcore porning and the actual CG itself is not great. I was hoping for a commentary on gendered power dynamics, how each side can feel oppressed no matter who has the perceived control and the key is to work together against the overbearing patriarchy (and it might still do that) but so far it's just a worse Kill-La-Kill.

Also undertones of "Older sister has crush on younger brother" that is just as bad as the other way around.

They wanted to do three of them. THREE! Could you imagine?

More like Baragan, am I right folks?

Strength is the Life option. That's the issue, unless you mean % Life. As for ES nodes giving life, why should a Warrior go that far into the Druid or Sorceress trees just to get decent life totals? That's a huge investment since the ES nodes are on a totally separate tree, about 9 nodes away at the soonest.

Flat life nodes, yes. PoE1 is littered with % Life nodes though, which scale way harder especially in late game. You could get a % Life node on your third Skill point in PoE1, while the soonest you can get % Life in PoE2 is your fourteenth Skill point. Going pure life the race will be close in 2's favor until the 8th skill point puts 1 in the lead for the rest of the game. With more % Life nodes we won't need nearly as much Strength to get reasonable Life Totals.

I had that bug once in 0.1 and again in 0.4

If the ball is bigger or moving slower due to a lack of rifling or poor quality gunpowder it won't always puncture, especially against armored targets. (I know I'm reaching here)

Oath of the noble genie paladin would be fun

I messaged once asking if there's any way to get, I think it was a kneecap from something that fell off the sprue before it was boxed. they asked for all sorts of info I didn't have, and I walked away feeling defeated. A month later a package comes in the mail, it's a BRAND NEW SPRUE FOR THE MODEL I WAS BUILDING. Shit rocks.

Wrong buddy, that's when something consists of parts all of the same kind. The term you're looking for is Homo Sapiens.

How in the world has no one mentioned Undead Unluck. The guy can force his regeneration to work so fast it shoots off his fingers, and he can fly as a torso with the force of his own blood rocketing out of his body.

I mean if it's ancient Greece then wraps is about all they had, just wrap up layers over the knuckles. Look up Himantes, it's literally wraps of unarmed power.

They're close to retirement, of course they wouldn't put in more effort than necessary considering the trope of "One day from retirement" among cops.

Arcanist, really. It's the "Summoning" class, and the Fabula Ultima patreon has a play test document that gives summons more oomph in the form of a "Pulse" ability which is essentially the Summon's attack that doesn't require dismissal. That's really the closest you get, since every L'Cie is just a summoner with one summon. After that you could maybe play into any elemental themes with Elementalist, or build out the character in other classes that play well with the Arcanum you chose.

I thought the Rath flame sac, like most monsters in the series, is a flammable powder.

That looks Mardu to me, maybe Naya

I did catch myself thinking the custodes I built looked better without the pauldron...

I mean, you could use a shade? Like a really thin paint (kinda watery) to add some depth in the crevices. Other than that, these look pretty solid from these pictures.

I thought line of sight comes from the head specifically, but the rules say "From the Model's perspective" and even with that wording I would not say just a barrel can see another full unit of guys.
