I'm currently on the start of my 4th playthrough (400 hours as of writing), playing a level 2 melee leaning Ranger with the intention of running Swarmkeeper (it's my comfort class). My stat spread currently is:

10 STR

17 DEX

14 CON

15 WIS

10 INT

8 CHA

At level 4, I'll take ASI to get DEX to 18 and WIS to 16, and at level 8 I'll take savage attacker. I've done this build before (https://www.reddit.com/r/BG3Builds/s/3PWSNb8aJH), and I'm running it again cuz I just love it so much, but the problem this time is that I'm playing with a friend (she went with hexblade warlock) who's new to BG3 so I wanna let her have Ethel's hair. This means that even with Shar's mirror, I can't reach 20 DEX unless I take another ASI at level 12.

However, when I play this build I usually take a 1 level dip into Wild Magic Sorc for booming blade, and it makes me hit like a truck. I can also do fun things like hitting a melee opponent with booming blade, teleporting away, and watching the opponent run themselves down. So my question is, do I wanna take booming blade or ASI to get my dex to 20?

Been playing the remake for around 10 hours, its my first experience of this franchise and I've been loving it so far. It's exactly my style of RPG, except one thing. I realised that build diversity seems pretty limited, you either increase strength for melee, or dex for ranged. Your playstyle largely depends on your weapon of choice, and magic seems to be supplementary like in Oblivion.

​

For those much more familiar with the game than I am, what are your opinions on build diversity? Is it largely dependant on which skills you invest in? Are there other ways and factors I've yet to explore to have varied builds?

How does the Tide Pearl from the Sanctuary of Sarras DLC work? The description says it inflicts wet, but I put it on my Breaker's Edge and I'm not seeing any buildup. I have the bleed relic on my sword as well, does that affect it?

Hello my fellow chinese. I'm a G3 warwick OTP looking for a secondary main, I've played Xin twice now in norms and I quite enjoy him, he feels very satisfying for some reason. The two times I've played him however, I got dogwalked almost every fight and 1v1, so I'm seeking some help in understanding his identity and limits. For example:

- Does he play as a bruiser or assassin?

-Is his damage frontloaded? His damage is burst right?

- Where does the main source of his damage come from? His W?

- Should I even factor in his passive 3 AA healing in fights? I saw that he has some sustain so I tried 1v1ing a Sylas the same way I do with Warwick but it ended very badly, I feel like I should be taking the healing with Q3 and backing off till all my spells are up and they waste some.

- Is he an early game, late game or consistent champion? Are there any fights I should avoid?

- What are some of his basic combos?

I find myself frequently losing 1v1s against Briar in the jungle, and I have no idea why. I dodge her pushes, but she seems to outheal my damage. I suspect I'm using my E at wrong timings, can someone explain to me that matchup and what to take note for? Her burst damage seems to be quite high, do I use E right away to negate the initial burst?

Preface, I've only watched one kamen rider show, being Kamen Rider Build.

In this world, if the shockers turned out to be real then, are the kamen riders real too? Did the showrunners of the original kamen riders somehow know of the shockers' existence and created a fictional franchise off it? Did they luck out and coincidentally create villains that actually existed in real life?

I'm on episode 6 of the anime

Been playing for around 200 hours, gold 4 Warwick OTP. Everytime I get near 50% winrate, I get a streak of seemingly impossible matchmaking, where enemy team consists of higher ranked players which leads to at least one mega losing lane, no prio, my teammates not responding to my pings and calls, me winning skirmishes but the team losing every teamfight, etc. By the time the first drake spawns, the situation looks cooked and my team is 1/4.

There's nothing I can do about shitty teammates, so what can I actually do? How do I impact the game in a way that brings my team back? Do I try to shut down whoever is strongest on enemy? Also,

- How do I gank bot? Often times, support picks some mage with no engage, and the entire bot lane is just poking each other with enemy never going past the mid line of the lane. Do I just run at them not worrying about showing on vision, just trying to deal some damage whether I get a kill or not?

- Is there anything I can do about my teammates dying when I'm not there? If enemy jg shows, I can invade the opposite side, but what about when they dont show? Do I just ignore the deaths, or do I look to impact that lane and bring them back?

-How do I get better at tracking enemy jg?

- What do I do when teammates dont look at map or respond to pings, or there's someone just split pushing the entire game?
