I think overall the change is supposed to be a buff in terms of the damage mitigated by shielding; in total. You do have to actively manage it, to leverage the benefits, as opposed to before. It does require a shift in gameplay and tactics. I like the change because it seems more powerful overall; provided you min-max.
I agree with the other comment that the gladiator may be able to better exploit the change through Lethal Defense.
One thing I found interesting is the shielding doesn't degrade over time as long as an enemy is in view. This can be useful if you're farming/levelling and there's a room with a piranha pool in the middle; giving you a bit of control if you disposed of a mob and took minimal damage.
Certain trinkets are more useful now, if say you got them through the random selection. I'm thinking of the vial of blood in particular. At +3, 10 dew gives pretty much a full heal. I imagine 5 would be enough to help hover around 50% health. I haven't gotten the vial on a recent warrior yet so I can't confirm. But 5 is quite easy to obtain.
Do you give it gin?
I generally would welcome a hermit crab most of the time since dispatching one isn't too difficult and has a good chance of netting you an armour, which could be quite helpful.
But definitely, the scenario could also be the straw that breaks the camel's back in certain situations. I think a low(maybe 10% would be better) rate of this occurring and halving subsequently may make it manageable. I've killed 9 in total so far and they aren't that bad.
This should've been fixed in beta 1.2. 1.4 is the current version. Are you on 1.2 or higher?
Could you expand on that? I think this trinket a trap and not good at all. While it makes you harder to hit, it also makes enemies harder to hit. There is a limiting factor to making guaranteed hits; via wands, spells, etc. If you're able to make those hits the majority of your attacks then in my opinion, this trinket augments your firepower rather than makes an already strong build OP.
The only time I might consider this trinket is if you exploit dropping it when firing your bow and picking it up for melee. Even then, personally, since I play with multiple challenges, I'd rather amass resources with the mimic's tooth, rat skull, shard of oblivion, etc.
You just need to tap on that Join button to update to v271. I thought v269 was part of the beta as well but I guess not.
After you upload a picture with Connect, you should get a URL. Under the area where you input your comment, there's a toolbar of buttons. The leftmost one can be used to insert multiple pictures.
v271 is the latest version so I'm not sure why it's not showing up. Maybe search for Connect for Lemmy and see if that refreshes with the update option?
Sometimes bugs are intermittent so who knows. I rarely download images so I might not even notice it. So it's good to have different perspectives.
I'm not seeing the problem on v1.0.269 or v271. After tapping on the image, I can see the download button at the bottom and tapping on the three dots at the bottom right brings up a context menu that also has a download button. If this isn't the case for you, what version are you on? The version can be seen at the top of the Settings page.
On the Block List page, if you scroll down using the left side of the screen, you should see the list of communities and blocked users. If you visit your home blahaj.zone and view your Blocks page in Settings, the communities and users you block in Connect should also be on this list.
If the above is not the case, what version of Connect are you using? The version can be found at the top of Settings.
I was going to ask the same thing. I like all of the new obstacle dungeon items but for the barrels specifically, I think many will initially think they could be interactable. In many RPGs, barrels are destructible. It seems weird that fire at least wouldn't burn them down.
True.. but think of the sweet loot. I was surprised by the two items as well but then I checked the dev notes mention extra loot so I presume it's not uncommon to get two.
I'm not sure what that Unicode is called but it reminds me of blinds. I kind of dismissed the first instance in the screenshot but them I saw the issue in a post title. Links for the two instances.

Also, can you add saving of alt text to drafts? Please and thank you's. As well, when editing, you can't edit alt text?
Started seeing this every now and then on v251. Previously I don't recall seeing this. It only occurs when a profile picture has issues loading and typically is temporary; the error is removesd once the link resolves. Before it's resolved, it can be a hindrance.
I support apps being more verbose and error messages but in this particular case, I don't think the error message is necessary; if the a profile picture link doesn't resolve, so be it. Maybe on an user profile page, it may be more of a consideration.
Am I remembering wrong or one of the patches made it so the censer would not fire off in shops? Thankfully the fire didn't reach the shopkeeper or break any items. Curiously it hovered over the bombs but they didn't explode. Worked out in my favor.
Personally, I don't see it as clashing. The gladiator is the more active sub-class and currently, in the situation where you're about to kill an enemy but your shield is up, strategically, you should not end the combo and be in search for your next fight. Your shield will be in cooldown but you have combo built up ready for a finish and reset. The gladiator should be played differently than the berserker.
But the change you proposed shouldn't be game-breaking and it'll make some players happy so I'm not opposed to it or anything. It's probably a good change.
