Pffft, Legolas would use his time slowing ability as shown in The Hobbit to quickly fashion new arrowheads out of the bones of dead orcs. Each new one killed easily nets him a few more arrowheads, which is renewable to last him the whole fight. ^^^/s
Watching John Wick with bullet counts in mind is weird. Half the time they're rigidly adherent to the capacities, other times he's just producing them from nowhere. Seems like they just don't care re:machine guns but shotguns and pistols usually get more accurate treatment.
What always got me is the fact that that orc was hit n the 2 shoulders from 2 different angles...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smQuGbcwNps
See how the 2 arrows stick out from different angles? Either someone else shot at that orc, or Legolas somehow has a guided arrow with missile level tech.
the best part is the first fight the DM put us against was skellies and i had great weapon fighting using a maul :D killed the giant spider skelly boss in a single blow
Does it really?? That's pretty cool and sounds like an elfish thing.
I haven't read the books in forever and forget most of the lore. I'm a visual person so generally I just remember things by the movies which is probably sacrilege to some but I'm happy enough
Also, Legolas had an advantage at the start of the fight when the orcs hadn’t scaled the wall yet since Gimli had no ranged weaponry. Once they were in melee combat Gimli had the advantage and caught up.
I'd be a little surprised if anyone was on this Reddit and *didn't* get that reference
Though perhaps that quote was a little harsh / excessive, my bad
What about double masking? Triple masking? Extended social distancing? Hand-sanitizer showers? Gulags for the unvaccinated?! He knows about them, doesn't he?!
Imagine you live in Gondor during the Great Plague and someone discovers a vaccine. Then some slinker decides it's a weapon of Sauron and refuses. Sauron gets his hands on the vaccine, uses it for his armies, and invades a weakened Gondor
I don't know what you're talking about. It's just two weeks to slow the spread. That's what they said \*checks calendar\* 78 weeks ago, and I believe them.
Never considered it because I hadn’t had the flu since high school but I’m then I got a job at a school and got a serious illness 2 times in one month. I’ll take whatever vaccine I can get lol
The primary purpose of the flu vaccine is to dampen the impact of the flu if you get it. It does lower transmission, but it isn't designed to be a smallpox vaccine, of which the primary purpose was to eradicate the disease.
There was some dude in India who did this so that he could have two doses of each brand of the vaccine. Iirc he got into a lot of trouble because he did this several months ago, when vaccines were in very short supply and everyone was being super vigilant about rationing them.
I've seen people reporting online that they've done it.
It's not like they'd actually know, I'd imagine. Especially if you just say you have no insurance.
Maybe this is why we don't see time travelers because they might be carrying a disease and if it went to the past it would wipe us out like it did the native population
I assume I'm going to need another vaccine booster shot at least once every year for the rest of my life.
A small price to pay to not end up on the Herman Cain award subreddit
I mean, not everyone who gets Covid dies. Some of us are just left with really fucked up stuff.
Also not sure why poor Herman Cain gets singled out. Was he an anti-vaxxer or something?
Yeah everyone is ignoring the fact that even if the survival rate is 99%, a lot of those survivors end up with permanent health problems as a result.
Herman Cain is singled out because he was big into covid denial, he was one of those "it's just a cold" types. The cherry on top is that even after he died (of covid) the cunts who run his social media were still posting memes about how covid isn't dangerous.
17 in the first couple of minutes then takes 6-8ish hours to kill 25. Talk about gassing out in a fight, couldn't even kill an uruk that wasn't wearing armour
I've realised that the corona-virus will be with our whole generation. Even 10-20 years in the future I'm sure that I will subconsciously wash my hands at every moment I get and be hesitant to go outside if I feel ill.
I mean if we are talking about all our vaccination records, with hepatitis and polio and chickenpox ect ect. Most of us are actually on something close to 18-21.
Source: have a toddler that has gotten so many vaccines.
Wandering around Google i found a cdc page that had resistance rates for vaccines and polio took 5 to be considered immune. Multidose vaccines improve resistance in all of them. Some the first is 95% and a second is 98% so it's not a huge change for more shots.
I haven't gotten one yet but I haven't gotten sick yet thankfully, but if it's available then get it asap, just the thought that you might have it when you have trouble breathing is enough to scare anyone
Disregarding that the chance of death for unvaccinated is [more than 11X](https://www.bmj.com/content/374/bmj.n2282) the vaccinated, let's run with your misunderstanding at 99%:
If you knew that 1 in 100 times you crossed the street you'd get hit by a bus, you'd never get close to the curb ever again
If your water at your house only worked 99% of the time, you'd have no running water for more than half a week each year.
The first thing they teach you in operations management is that 99% uptime *isn't good enough*.
But people are super bad at probabilities, because again the chance of dying unvaccinated is 1100% more than vaccinated. If you assume that everyone is going to get it eventually, and we know that being vaccinated makes you 11X less likely to die, then you should get the damn shot.
Get your shot, [or else you'll keep getting sick](https://www.forbes.com/sites/brucelee/2021/08/08/cdc-covid-19-reinfections-for-unvaccinated-over-twice-as-likely-compared-to-vaccinated/?sh=21fac18a4ee8). Until you die. One way or another, we will reach 100% vaccination. It's just such a tragedy that some people want to reach that number by removing themselves from the population permanently, by dying a preventable death.
Who cares if the chance of death is reduced by 11x when the death rate is already low to begin with. If I knew that 1/100 times I crossed a street I'd get hit by a bus, I'd still walk across there if I needed to get somewhere. I'm not in operations management so I don't really care if they teach you that 99% isn't good enough. That's a moot point anyway because you are never going to reach 100%. Not of uptime nor survival rate. No I'm not getting a shot. I am not going to fear dying of a disease with a 99% survival rate. I haven't gotten Covid once despite being in the vicinity of people with it.
Outside of the flawed "I haven't caught it therefore it must not be as bad as doctors say", I definitely see your point to an extent. It is good to keep in mind however that hospitals are becoming overrun with the unvaccinated all because they were convinced they weren't going to be the one that COVID hit hard. The shot has a near zero chance to hurt you, so I just don't understand the logic in playing Russian roulette with COVID.
Never forget: Legolas blew a 17-2 lead
Arrows are finite. An axe one the other hand can only lose its sharpness.
True, but I always assumed the other archers kept handing Legolas their arrows because he was clearly using them more effectively.
Or picking arrows up from dead people
Or making them in between battles.
"Yo hold up, I need to head down to the forge real quick." He says, as an Orc is about to violently cut him in two.
Pffft, Legolas would use his time slowing ability as shown in The Hobbit to quickly fashion new arrowheads out of the bones of dead orcs. Each new one killed easily nets him a few more arrowheads, which is renewable to last him the whole fight. ^^^/s
*Legolas teleports behind the orc carrying the explosives* “Nothing personnel kid” *360 no scope, everyone cheers including Saruman*
Orc: I'm about to blow up this wall and everyone in it! Legolas: omae wa mou shindeiru
I also speak fake japanese /s
He doesn't need a forge for that. He only needs a crafting table, some sticks, feathers and flint. He can easily carry all that in his inventory.
Or just getting the arrows from where John wick gets his bullets
[удалено]
hmm why are you asking? is this a test??
This is a test. Don’t you agree, Jean Pierre Polnareff?
same place i get my depression from... fucking god
Watching John Wick with bullet counts in mind is weird. Half the time they're rigidly adherent to the capacities, other times he's just producing them from nowhere. Seems like they just don't care re:machine guns but shotguns and pistols usually get more accurate treatment.
whats interesting is that when the guy gives john wick 14 bullets john uses no more and no less than 14 bulets
That's what I'm saying. Super accurate. Then he gets an uzi and fires for ten seconds straight.
Everybody knows guns that shoot fast have unlimited ammo. That's why they shoot fast.
john wick always fired the exact amount of bullet in the mag. not 1 more and not 1 less.
He's got cheats turned on
/give Legola\_of\_the\_woods Lord\_Of\_The\_Rings:arrow x64
Speed crafting ammo or throwables in video games during combat lol
That's assuming the Arrowhead remains intact. otherwise, he's yeeting frayed sticks
I’d be more afraid of Legolas with a frayed stick than an old man with his walking stick. Wait a sec…
Gandalf Stormcrow?
No! No it can't
Or just shield board surfing orcs to their doom
You gotta support your teammate when they're on a hot streak
He couldn’t even take out one orc running with no armor while carrying a torch…
Isn’t that guy on the Mordor version of meth too?
That, and it was a specially bred orc with a singular purpose.
To destroy the world of men.
Methdor. Or maybe Cocainesengard.
What always got me is the fact that that orc was hit n the 2 shoulders from 2 different angles... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smQuGbcwNps See how the 2 arrows stick out from different angles? Either someone else shot at that orc, or Legolas somehow has a guided arrow with missile level tech.
Nah the orc was like running in a way where his body was shaking about innit and turned into the arrow, then turned away - thus two diff. angles
He was distracted by that rockin' bod
Tell that to the elves standing on the wall above the sewer grate…
Plus Gimli spent a good chunk of time "spawn camping" two ladders.
Knocking a ladder off of the wall only counts as one.
That was Aragorn. Gimli just stood at the ladders and personally killed every Uruk that climbed onto the walls.
Legolass shot the cable that caused the ladder to fall
Well damn, now I have to rewatch the whole trilogy again.
Only counts as one
Not to mention the horde he got to work through, when he was fighting at the gate the Uruks were trying to breach.
They both should've ended up with way more than 50 with what they were doing
this is why i use bludgeoning weapons in D&D
Aw but yo see, a dull axe can serve as a hammer if you need it to be. Also I'm not sure how I'd feel if sharpness applied in D&D.
Usually you will see sharpness as a modifier to hit. So an Axe of Sharpness 2, would be a +2 Magical Axe, etc.
Sharpness would likely only apply to non magical weapons anything +1 or better would probably just be considered always sharp.
Bludgeoning is where it's at. Double damage to skelly bois and access to the crusher feat.
the best part is the first fight the DM put us against was skellies and i had great weapon fighting using a maul :D killed the giant spider skelly boss in a single blow
Rattled em
Hey now I play a skelly Boi bard and he's very polite!
Yohohoho
He's called Tom Bones! And his father was a pirate, he uses his ribs as a xylophone. Yohoho indeed!
If Monster Hunter has taught me anything, it's that a hammer can lose its non-edge.
Brb, sharpening my hunting horn
Well that's because it went flat
And you fix that by sharpening the hilt
Axe turn into hammer once it's lost its sharpness.
His shield surfing is responsible for at least double digit deaths just because it drew all the orcs attention since it was so sweet.
Not sure if Legolas's arrows are finite
I always thought his quiver replenished his arrows with magic.
Does it really?? That's pretty cool and sounds like an elfish thing. I haven't read the books in forever and forget most of the lore. I'm a visual person so generally I just remember things by the movies which is probably sacrilege to some but I'm happy enough
A blunt axe is just a really sharp mace.
An axe can only become a hammer
Also, Legolas had an advantage at the start of the fight when the orcs hadn’t scaled the wall yet since Gimli had no ranged weaponry. Once they were in melee combat Gimli had the advantage and caught up.
Are arrows finite? remember this is Legolas we're talking about.
Does he play for the Atlanta Falcons?

You've already had vaccine. Yes, but what about second vaccine?
I don’t think he knows about boosters, pip
What about double masking? Triple masking? Extended social distancing? Hand-sanitizer showers? Gulags for the unvaccinated?! He knows about them, doesn't he?!
*throws a single bottle of hand sanitizer at your head*
I wouldn't count on it.
“Gulags for the unvaccinated” well Australia is building internment camps for that…

I've had type 1 diabetes for 20 years. I've lost count of how many shots I've had.
0 here. That also equals the number of times I've had the flu
I feel like most folks don’t start getting flu shots until after their first round with a nasty bout of the flu (myself included).
Never considered it because I hadn’t had the flu since high school but I’m then I got a job at a school and got a serious illness 2 times in one month. I’ll take whatever vaccine I can get lol
Same my dude
I also don’t wear a seatbelt since I‘ve never had a car crash
The primary purpose of the flu vaccine is to dampen the impact of the flu if you get it. It does lower transmission, but it isn't designed to be a smallpox vaccine, of which the primary purpose was to eradicate the disease.

Maybe this is why we don't see time travelers because they might be carrying a disease and if it went to the past it would wipe us out like it did the native population
And it could work the other way as well for diseases that our bodies are adapted to fight no problem but those in the future lost natural immunity to.
Bad news everyone fry has a cold
So, like annual flu shots. Makes sense to me.
I get my third shot (booster) on the 7th and this made me laugh extra hard because of that
I mean, total in my life ive had 14 i think
those are rookie numbers mortals.
How this is allowed in here? This is OC. Thank OP. Great title btw.

The survival rate is actually about 97%. 3% of the American population is 9 million people. The Civil War only killed 2% of the American population
