So I'm about to finish up the Blue Ridge Mines I think. Whats in store next? Egypt? I'm kinda feeling starved for Exp gear-wise, I may drop a sub for a month or whatever since I've only got 8 days on the trial left.

So it takes me 2-3 rotations through my DPS cycle to kill an NPC, and each one has a buddy now in Transylvania for a total of 8k HP between the two on average. Did I reach the part of the game that it gets annoying?

Did you somehow skip Egypt and go straight to Transylvania?

Nah, I pooped on Pharaoh Anktehamen or w/e and rolled into spooky town now. I may be a bit undergeared though, I will check the AH for anything and try to get at least 9's in all slots. Still have a bunch of 8's. Should I be crafting as well?

Pretty sure I was all geared up in green 10's before I headed to Tranny, so that may indeed be why. If you're finding it frustrating you might go back to temple of the sun god and do everything there. I would hold off on crafting until you can equip QL 10s at that point. zzMisc fucked around with this message at 05:35 on Jun 4, 2016 |

General rule of thumb is to run the dungeon of the zone to get dungeon gear. Going into Trans you should def be rocking ql10 greens at the least.

Prepped for Nightmares  Gear aside that is. Still gotta get the Ultimate Edition for the other 10.1 pieces, really. Gatekeeper wasnt hard, aside from having to respec for Purge city. One I knew was coming, but then the 2nd and I was hosed. Then botched a Mine toss and it blew up too early in his casting, so didnt purge at all. Woops! But got the fucker now.

Ultimate leaves you needing four issues, which might end up costing just as much depending on exchange rates. If you're patient and planning to pay for membership then you can buy an issue a month with your bonus points. If your main concern is the 10.1 talismans, you get all but one of them from the issues in Ultimate, leaving you only missing the one from issue 14.

I got the Ultimate on sale and just subscribed for a month, and was gonna come and ask what issue I should get, but I think you just answered that for me. Thanks!

It's just occurred to me that the ultimate pack should also include issue 15, since that's replaced the side stories packs.

For soloing I think I may grab an alternative Head trinket for the 2.1k hp boost, putting me at 4070 hp. I don't think I will worry about levelling it and it's glyphs, but god drat does soloing suck with 1970 hp  Currently at 620 hit and 510 pen. Will try to do Hell Fallen tomorrow, I've run NM Polaris like five times now.

For soloing, you can get away with a hp minor which gives you just over 3k. In Tokyo you'll want a single heal piece too because you pretty much need some kind of self heal in your build there. Glyphing is the big headache with gear, to be honest.

Museum etc seems pretty cool. And rebalance didnt really affect me yet since Im not quite endgame anyways. Gonna go Rifle/Blood this time though I think, since we normally dont have a Magic user when we run Nightmares. So that way the Plague will give a buff to ranged damage, which we do have plenty of.

+10% crit chance is still real good for 1 passive, though, right?

I'm no build expert but you can't just average it like that. That 10-second cycle sounds tough to build around. Before it was 5x builder, 1 filler, first consumer, then second consumer force-crit on an 8s cycle. Since it's a passive and not a on-use buff you have to use it in a continuous rotation, something like 5x builder, And the question then is whether the 20% buff is worth building a longer chain around. Edit: Derp, of course it isn't always 1s=1 attack, if you used channeled consumers that added up to 5s this could work well, shootout is 2.5s, I don't know what else is. zzMisc fucked around with this message at 08:17 on Jun 16, 2016 |

Is the crit% granted by EleForce independent of minor critical chance? If so, it could still be useful. It looks like it would work really well with the 2.5 second channeled consumers. Otherwise wouldn't you be back to using builders while the buff is still active after the first rotation? Has anyone tried this game with the Steam controller? I picked one up on sale. I'm a super casual scrub and used to enjoy using an Xbox controller.

I used it with the steam controller and it was allright. Bit hard to read text from my TV and interacting with objectives was a bit hard. Combat was fun though, way more maneuverabile.

I just reinstalled, I got that itch to do at least the New England and Egypt portions again. What server should I be on to be with the majority of goons who still play? Does it matter? I forget.
