That build is the Weekend Warrior/Generic Solo farming build and wrecks everything super easy and fast that doesn't have some ridiculous gimmick (like fungals). It's not a build for new players or anything other than farming, but it'll chew through Trans missions and Nightmare mobs all day. And yes, for QL10 greens -> QL10.2s, that's still a completely accurate build. Minor tweaks when you get customs.

Vanderdeath posted:I just got my bonus 1200 points. Should I use them on Issue 6 or Issue 7? Everyone else has gone over the story/difficulty differences, I just wanted to mention some ancillary things that might influence your decision. Both Issues introduce a currency called Credits of Ca' D'Oro. You earn these credits by completing the Issue (can run through it once every three days) and through dailies. Issue 7, IIRC, has more dailies (5 vs. 3). These credits can be spent at a vendor. For Issue 6, there are three headslots (one for each role) and three signets for those headslots, all purple QL10. Additionally, the Issue 6 vendor has Indiana Jones style clothing you can purchase. For Issue 7, there's three purple neck peices/signets and a full set of the Orochi gear (the kind Ghost wears in Carpathian Fangs). Both vendors also have Blue Signet bags. As another random note, I think Issue 7 is a bit less frustrating overall. Aspects of Issue 6 can become frustrating due to AI patrols, lag impact on delicate jumping, and lag impact on the wonky (but awesome) Indiana Jones style combat sequence.

Edit: Pilchenstein posted:I think it's only 4 dailies for issue 7 - either that or they've put one on a different npc and I don't know about it. Out of the three at the Egypt vendor, only two are worth the effort. Five Ways to Kill a Man takes more effort than the other two put together, and is only worthwhile if you do it alongside some of the main quests. The Shadowy Forest vendor has four side quests, of which one can be bugged, as I mentioned earlier. The crate finding one is super easy and you shouldn't have to fight anything (though I do wonder how your character carries them all). The vampire killing one might be a bit difficult if you have lower level gear. Zephonith fucked around with this message at 15:06 on Jul 27, 2013 |

Zephonith posted:They're having a bit of trouble with the quest items in one of the issue 7 side quests - I've had a few times over the past few days where I haven't gotten the shovel I need to go and dig up coffins, so I've had to petition for it. Which is a shame, because the ghosts that spawn when you dig drop a remarkable number of (unfortunately character bound) QL10 blues. That's weird, my main problem was I'd hand in the 'get Orochi weapon' mission at the same time, and get a new shovel at the same time.

I queued into a pubbie Ankh normal on my alt the tank had no hit rating, sub 100 block, 50 evade, and about 100 phys/magical protection. Guy was rockin' almost 9k hp but died if anything touched him. I could barely keep him alive using my main to heal. How can pubbies be so bad?

I'm starting to think that goons are the odd ones out. Trying to get Funcom to fix their bugs is apparently a cardinal sin. Everytime I post about a bug on testlive people call me out about how "that's just how things are." Adds running to the anima well during a boss fight? Working as intended. /stuck never working? Intended. Machine tyrant walking into the well to bitch slap people? You guessed it, intended.

Probably a stupid question, but how do you tell what's a "main quest" and a "side mission"? I mean the small stuff you encounter from time to time is obvious, but when there are people with main quest missions next to side quest missions, it's kind of annoying clicking through them all to see if they pop up the "must abandon quest" message.

A "Main mission" is any Investigation, Sabotage, or Action mission. Green (laptop icon), Yellow (bundle of dynamite), and Red (dude running), respectively. Item missions, or "side" missions (box icon), are a blue/green color; you can have up to three of those active at any time. Story missions are the light blue missions and are always active and cannot be abandoned unless you get hosed by some weird bug.

AR leeching sucks until you get the gear to back it, but it's totally viable solo and for small groups for pretty much the whole game. And by sucks I mean it's subpar for both healing and DPS, but it definitely gets the job done.

The only advantage chaos has over hammer is discord rising which is not worth giving up the additional damage of hammer for. Fist/Chaos is still ok but there is no reason to ever pair sword with chaos over hammer tanking or solo.

If you want a blade/hammer soloing build then use this: http://www.badomens.net/calculator#01.09.09.0902.05230008g.051k.048401.09.058.09002.09.09.043.09000/5h7a5l7g4z6j7seqbi40504u9s6k6mep Basically unkillable and shits damage. Also someone said that Signet of Order was "the other good tanking head signet," so what's the other good one?

Signets are end game gear and are usually acquired after getting a portion at least of 10.4 custom gear. At no gear level is order/resilience/valour or any other signet better than Aggression, Abuse, Breaching or Castigation for tanking because your tanking gear should have decent levels of defence/block and get very little benefit from defensive signets.

Except the game throws both signets and pax at you like loving candy by the time you're QL10 anyway, so tossing green signets in gear you'll be using for an appreciable amount of time is pretty okay. I'd even be cool with throwing blues in transient gear if you're likely to be doing the three end-of-DLC missions often.

Hi all. I really like this game and have been grinding along for a few weeks now largely solo and without any particular expertize so thought I'd stick my head up and say hi. Currently in Besieged Farmlands with mostly QL10 greens and about three blue talismans and QL10 blue rifle and blade. When soloing most of my talismans have hit/pen on them couple with block/physical resistance, should i focus on a particular stat? Have maxed AR skills and blade, and earned about half the skills in hammer and chaos so any recommendations for a solo build using any of those weapon combinations so I can get my edge back? Also is there a time of day that sees more traffic on the #awful channel than others?

I wish more people would use #awful. Check out this thread on the offsite forums to find out how to NOT have to rejoin custom chat channels whenever you change zone.

Well, there's a way to view your application and post on it and stuff. You should be able to find it under Applications, My Apps or something like that. Or, if you're Malleus (the only pending application at the moment, so I guess it's you), just post which faction you want here. Either way is fine.

Bought the game during the Steam sale when I realized it no longer required a subscription and I've been screwing around with it a bit. I'm still very early in the game and the only weapon I've committed skill points or more than a couple ability points to is pistols. I tentatively have swords as my secondary weapon, but I've only bought a couple introductory skills so it wouldn't be a hassle to change yet. I'd kind of like to use one of the magic schools instead, would that be a bad idea? The only melee one is apparently chaos, which from reading this page isn't really recommended.
