![]() The remaining 30% can be found from using Essence of Loathing on a pair of boots. You should be able to cap supression for 50% and grab 20% avoidance along the path to duelist. Ancestral Vision: Used to cap ailment avoidance. Impossible Escape: If you are not using it for Elegant Hubris look for Ancestral Bond and grab those juicy totem life nodes. You only need it for offence and you can search for an ideal one from Path of Building. If you cannot obtain a set of jewel, Drop Master Alchemist and use flasks without the -duration/+effect mod. Forbidden Jewels: You can get Master Surgeon, Master Alchemist or Natures's Reprisal version of the jewel since you are pathfinder. However since the build doesn't really need any caster mods from weapons, so as long as the attribute requirements can be met you can use those. ![]() All others: All of those left are melee weapons that cannot roll any useful caster mods. sort of unpopular since the bow gets all the spotlights. Wand: Same as sceptre, except you are not allowed to pair it with other one-handed weapon types. Sceptre: This can also roll +1 all spell. Both can roll chance to poison so if you are looking for some dot, use this base type. Rune Dagger can roll +1 all spell mod, normal dagger doesn't. Dagger: This is most preferred by poison users. Prior one will get more damage, latter gives more defense. There are 2 versions: Widowhail for extra damage mod in quivers, rare bow for +3 totem setup so you can use any body armour. Too expensive to justify the need of it since a normal build already does enough damage for most contents. The Redblade: Best in slot for maximum dps potential. Here's some comments for several base types: Since we are using Essence of Fear to craft it basically any weapon works. This is the basic requirement.Īdditionally you can look for chance to summon 2 totems on crucible as well, so you can drop a support link and put in lifetap/charged traps/enhance(for devouring totem)/etc. You need weapon with crucible explode mod. Good thing is there aren't much physical dot out there, and you can easily be immune to bleeding and corrupting blood. And physical damage over time are something you won't be able to mitigate when you do not have access to fortification and endurance charges. Cloak of Flame grants damage taken conversion for damage over time as well, instead of just hits. I haven't tried the above combo yet, but I would choose Cloak of Flame instead if I have to build one. Using elemental flasks also makes you take 40% less damage if you are pathfinder. That means you can completely drop armour from your build and invest on maximum resistances instead. ![]() This effect is scalable with flask effect, so you can get up to around 25% physical damage taken conversion.Īlong with other conversion mods like the influence implicit on helmet and etc, you can turn all your physical damage taken from hit into elemental damage. The Taste of Hate grants "(10–15)% of Physical Damage from Hits taken as Cold Damage during Effect". The Lightning Coil grants "50% of Physical Damage from Hits taken as Lightning Damage". If you use slavedriver it should be more preferable. I am using Eldritch Battery and I really do not want to path into energy shield cluster, so I skipped it (for now). The combo requires you to not have energy shield, or have the energy shield mastery allocated. You may check out more details from other youtubers. ![]() It can be used with Mind over Matter for insane survivability as the remaining 40% damage is taken from mana instead of life, meaning your life bar will not move at all. This jewel combo allows you to get hit and instant recover 50-60% of damage taken as life. This means the explode damage can trigger on-hit and on-kill effects.ġ. Totem Explodes are credited to you due to a known bug. The modifier from Cluster Traps Support, Multiple Traps Support will not lower the explode damage of your totems. This also means Less Multipliers does not work either. Brutality Support, Trap and Mine Damage Support, etc. ![]() This means More Multipliers does not work e.g. As the explode effect is granted by your item, linking your totem gem with support gems does NOT grant any damage modifiers to the explode damage. Minion Damage also works if you have allocated Spiritual Aid notable. Elemental Damage / Chaos Damage also works if you convert the explode damage to other damage types You can however scale the damage with Global Damage, Physical Damage and Totem Damage from your skill tree and items. You CANNOT scale the explode damage with spell damage modifier. Explode is an on-hit effect which is NOT an attack or a spell. ![]()

Those among us who are dedicated to the craft are certainly the unsung heroes of their individual tables, but if you are looking for a quick grab and go solution, there are plenty of painted options out there.Īs you might expect, pre-painted miniatures are harder to come by and are usually more expensive upfront. Not everybody has the time to paint minis these days. Naturally, paper miniatures will come with the downside of being extremely fragile and likely to wear out over a period of time, but there is certainly no cheaper way to get into the miniature game. If you go this route, consider supporting PrintableHeroes on Patreon for their amazing work. The best options of paper miniatures can be found via u/PrintableHeroes’ Reddit post where you can find hundreds of free, printable paper miniatures. This was mentioned last because it is a slightly newer option that isn’t technically a miniature. Metal miniatures can handle a similar level of detail as rigid plastic minis, while also being steadfast enough to enjoy journeys in book bags and backpacks.Īs might be obvious, metal miniatures are by far the most expensive, but sometimes the quality is worth it. Sure, it will cost you a pretty penny but if you are going to be playing a character for a couple of years and want to make your character’s miniature something special, metal is the way to go. Rigid plastic, while easier to paint than flexible plastic, will break much more easily if dropped or otherwise mistreated.Īs with most things, if you want it to last go for the metal option. Rigid plastic minis are a favorite for collectors and painters who will be making high quality, extremely detailed pieces for their games and collections. Rigid plastic miniatures are usually a middle ground between flexible and metal miniatures in terms of price. The natural expansion and contraction of the plastic can cause flaking and cracking, even if you are extremely careful with them. However, if you are looking to paint these miniatures yourself be warned that flexible plastic miniatures are known for not holding up super well to paint. Miniatures made from this material tend to be able to take the most amount of abuse, but the lack of rigidity will provide less detail to work with. The most famous flexible plastic miniatures are definitely Reaper Miniature’s Bones line. As with anything, the more you pay, the higher levels of detail and quality will be.įlexible plastic miniatures are typically the least expensive. The material of your miniature will mean a lot to its finished product. ![]() If you are looking for something that is larger than a medium creature, like a dragon, you will want to make sure that the figure scales properly using 1 inch increments for every 5 feet. In D&D, each grid square represents 5 feet and, typically, medium creatures (AKA most D&D races) fit one to a square. In the case of miniatures, a 28mm scale figure would specify an exact scale of 1:60 for a 1.68 meter person. Miniatures can come in 25mm – 30mm scale, which simply represents the millimeter conversion to scale the miniatures down from meters. Game mats are usually made with 1 inch squares, so the base of the miniature should be 1 inch (or 25mm) in order to fit in the standard sized grids. While there may be plenty of miniatures available on the market, D&D miniatures typically come with somewhat strict guidelines. Miniatures can widely vary in height, material, and whether they are painted or unpainted. Miniatures have been used in gameplay, mainly combat and exploration, since the inception of Dungeons and Dragons back in 1974. In tabletop gaming, minis (or miniatures) are scale models that are used to represent player characters (PCs) and non-player characters (NPCs) on a battlemap. At Arcane Eye, we love D&D in any form, but there is nothing like sitting around a table with your party, and NOTHING beats the feeling when the DM rolls out the sheet of paper with a prepared battlemap and starts breaking out miniatures. Things like virtual tabletops, battlemap software, and even voice chat tools like Discord or Zoom, have allowed players that can’t meet up to still get together and play some D&D. Miniatures, while an added expense, help players and DMs connect with the game by creating three dimensional avatars that represent their characters or the creatures they are fighting.ĭ&D has taken huge steps over the past couple of years to move towards virtual settings and away from traditional, in-person games. If you have seen some of the landscapes that professional DMs like Matt Mercer at Critical Role put out, you can understand why people want to use miniatures for TTRPGs. ![]() ![]() ![]() Then import the source video files by clicking the Import New Files button ![]() When starting a new GoPro Studio project, you must first transfer the media from your GoPro camera to your computer and allow the GoPro Studio Importer to manage your media.

The FTC also said Facebook, from late 2017 until 2019, “misrepresented that parents could control whom their children communicated with through its Messenger Kids product.” The FTC said the assessor “identified several gaps and weaknesses in Facebook’s privacy program.” The 2020 privacy order, which required Facebook to pay a $5 billion fine, required an independent assessor to evaluate the company’s privacy practices. ![]() The FTC now says this has not been the case. “It appeals primarily to children who otherwise would not have their own social media accounts.” Another passage criticized Facebook for “targeting younger children with a new product.”įacebook, in response to the letter, said at the time that the app “helps parents and children to chat in a safer way,” and emphasized that parents are “always in control” of their kids’ activity. “Messenger Kids is not responding to a need - it is creating one,” the letter said. The group included nonprofits, psychiatrists, pediatricians, educators and the children’s music singer Raffi Cavoukian. In early 2018, a group of 100 experts, advocates and parenting organizations contested Facebook’s claims that the app was filling a need kids had for a messaging service. Rather, it works as an extension of a parent’s account, and parents get controls, such as the ability to decide with whom their kids can chat.Īt the time, Facebook said Messenger Kids wouldn't show ads or collect data for marketing, though it would collect some data it said was necessary to run the service.īut child-development experts raised immediate concerns. The app doesn’t give kids separate Facebook or Messenger accounts. The Menlo Park, California company added that it will "vigorously fight" the FTC's action and expects to prevail.įacebook launched Messenger Kids in 2017, pitching it as a way for children to chat with family members and friends approved by their parents. Let’s be clear about what the FTC is trying to do: usurp the authority of Congress to set industry-wide standards and instead single out one American company while allowing Chinese companies, like TikTok, to operate without constraint on American soil,” Meta said in a prepared statement. “Despite three years of continual engagement with the FTC around our agreement, they provided no opportunity to discuss this new, totally unprecedented theory.
