I have this happen to me very rarely (happened to me twice over about 30 instances so far) but when it does happen I have to leave the mission and re-queue.

I've been queuing since then without problems, at least. Bad luck I guess that of my first three attempts, two were bugged.

If I'm queued, what else can I do? Can I run around one of those Regions?

Edit: This game is terrible, but I am actually having fun with my tennis-playing light lady. If you ignore the MMO aspect of it - which is really easy to do - it plays like a solid action grind. When you get bored, go queue for a thing and mash butan with other spergs. I'm not 2000 whatever points yet though.

Well, Taint is actually pretty powerful. When playing the promo at 19k prestige, 3 stacks do 20-30k damage over 10 seconds. And I know the promo version's stats aren't well optimized as I crit way less often. Add Lacerated Wound, and later the Valor or STR DoTs, on top and you have some great free damage.

But yeah, Warlock/Witch is all about combining DoTs with burst damage. The burst isn't as good as Berserker/Kinetic which apparently makes them less desirable in distortions, but the sustained damage is incredible. Even the promo version beats my Slayer (but not my Berserker) in boss killing speed.

Do you have Aegis? It may not fully scale to your prestige, but my slayer can 1 shot any non-shielding/invulning boss using Aegis + Twilight Scourge with 6 dash cancels. If you time the buffed Twilight Scourge properly you get the bonus crit/crit damage to 2 attacks instead of 1, giving you 4-6 buffed Scourges depending on how many you started with pre-cloak.

I never thought about using Aegis to get more cancels, but I can't get the timing between the Twilight Scourges at 3 and 4 buff stacks right. Most of the time the second one doesn't seem to deal damage, which I thought was because it's inside the animation of the first, but then I saw this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfATfliPwx4

That person has the same ping I do, and I seriously doubt I could get any more than 3 crit Twilight Scourges in that window without starting at 2 stacks. But even if I could, I don't think I would be able to kill most bosses on Impossible with one Shadow Cloaking.

Edit: Apparently you have to take a step after you dash to make the next attack register, so that explains what I was doing wrong. Knowing this should also help my Berserker's dash cancels.

Edit2: Oh, I get what you mean with the 4-6 buffed attacks thing. So you get 4 maximum damage Twilight Scourges at most. With Element of Surprise and starting at 2 stacks that might be enough to kill (Impossible) bosses in one Shadow Cloaking.

Yeah, the movement bit is key, especially if you have high ping. I sometimes don't have to move, but I have a sub 40ms a lot of the time and that helps. Currently I can 100 to 0 nearly every impossible boss if I have 2 stacks going in, but I know the scaling doesn't totally keep up at higher prestige.

I guess bonus crit damage will keep scaling though, so with enough luck gear and nodes it may be possible to keep up the insane damage at high levels.

I'm pretty sure it only gets better at higher prestige, due to better optimized stats and symbols, e.g. the aforementioned Element of Surprise which now gives me +24% damage for the first 8 seconds of the fight and is even better on Slayer.

I will have to test it again, anyway. I didn't have Element of Surprise and my stats were a bit less optimized by the time I finished Slayer and switched to Berserker.

Windchilla
May 30, 2009
Yeah, that's true and those % bonuses are all additive in this game I think. I know the class ones are at least (alchemist, lightbring etc). I also forgot about Maximum Recoil. With all that poo poo stacked up the damage will get seriously disgusting endgame.

Damage gets seriously disgusting way, way earlier than that which is why PvP is a total joke. Some classes will just completely burst you down in no seconds flat and there's nothing you can do unless you're a Necro or a tank with shields up.

As resident slayer boss, what do you recommend for a skill/trait setup for slayer? I'm still probably a reset off of getting all of its skills but I think I might start swapping over for bosses anyway if I can get a handle on them.

For the Twilight Scoure thing, you want to use Shadow Cloaking, Aegis of Night, and the talents Surprise Effect, Biting Whips and Shadow Blessing.

Beyond this, you want Blood Harvest, Smoke Grenade and Sneak Attack. The choice between Shadow and Flight of the Shadow doesn't matter as both are bad. Shadowland is good in PvP as Blood Harvest will continue dealing damage to enemies in the shadow realm, giving you an edge in 1v1s and when outnumbered. Use a Blood Harvest weapon and Blood Harvest amulets. After the nerf you may want to switch to a Backflip weapon.

The only talents I consider must have other than the Twilight Scourge ones are Cutthroat Fervor and Deadly Accuracy, but I also use Major Hatred, Choking Smoke and and Chain Murders. The latter two are not useful against bosses, so you may want to skip them if you're using Slayer only for boss kills. Pain Spot Expert is not a bad choice.

For symbols, you want Maximum Recoil + Ultimate Strength or Mobilization depending on whether you went Luck/Strength or Luck/Valor, as well as Lacerated Wound, Element of Surprise and a number of class symbols; the best ones being Paladin and Archer. There are numerous other good symbols, including most class ones, so it's hard to go wrong here.

Edit: Also, Major Hatred is a personal preference. Most people skip it.


Prel posted:

Paladin symbol is a must for PvP. Not having a support you're communicating with in 3v3 is a massive disadvantage, but the Paladin symbol will at least give you the opportunity to hit the enemy team a few times. I find 10v10 much better in this regard, it's too bad the queues are going to remain stupidly long until the grouping patch.

honestly this game is truly about how you can be a berserker god clad in a radical viking helmet and only designer skivvies, whilst wielding a chainsword that chucks out red enemy medical goo by the gallons. when you come back to town you send your minions out on WoW garrison/neverwinter style missions to build churches worshipping you and your designer skivvies, until you get bored of them and turn them all into door to door hopping jehova's witnesses. there's a story or something but it's kinda hard to take seriously with every character having jiggletits.

Boob slider and two butt sliders. We're getting butt jiggle as well once the guy fine tuning the breast jiggle gets it just right. No I'm not joking.

Comparisons to Neverwinter are a bit unfair, at least in my opinion. It strongly depends on your class and unlike Neverwinter you will rarely be locked in place while attacking which is huge. Oddly enough it's also less designed to make you suffer, unlocks carry over between classes and you will always progress in some way while also having a lot of choices in terms of where you actually want to get to and how you get there. Now if only they would copy the chat system Neverwinter and Cryptic in general have in place it would be amazing, say what you will about those guys but their chat is done super well and other games should emulate that.

Cryptic's system is just a single external chat server which all their games connect to, and which you can connect to separately from outside the game using Pidgin or whatever - if the aelinet ever works, it'll actually be pretty similar, at least in terms of functionality.

Probably because of the content drop. It was released not long after the RU version went into open beta, and that poo poo takes a while to be localized. They of course couldn't release any more patches until that was done. Their plan is to catch up to the RU version and then stay in sync, and it looks like this patch will achieve this, or at least be pretty close.
