All the micro transactions are overpriced, honestly. The only ones i'd ever buy (and did) are tabs, and those could go to be cheaper. like 1.99 per custom tab would be cool, or 6.99 for a bundle.

Speaking of which, what's the best armor set to pair with black hole vortex?

Their pricing model made sense back when the micro's were more like a donation reward, but now that they have many more players, and many more micros it would probably make sense from their end to take another look at the pricing. Other f2p games seems to do well with tiered pricing i.e. you still have the $40 armor sets, but you also have $20 and $10 ones to get in people who would otherwise not buy anything. Like even as someone who has bought several full armor sets, I would be inclined to buy a lot more if they were priced resonably and they have enough of them now where the older ones could easily be discounted (I know they recently experimented with that promotion for cheap older micros). The mystery boxes are really dumb because you clutter up your insanely clunky mtx interface with dupes that you can do literally nothing with. They need to rework the whole mtx interface really.

Well, Hiltless instead of Heartbound Loop, and non-infinite, and with Berserker's leech, especially with Cloaked With Savagery giving me insane sustain if I can reliably take 15% hits.

But hopefully, yeah, something like that :unsmigghh:

As a CI BV pathfinder what do you think is going to offer me better mitigation? I have 2 flask slots left after vinktars, ToH and quicksilver. Until now I've been using rumi's, jade and stibnite, but now I've got a ToH I need to drop one.

If I keep my rumi's I get 61% block and 2.2kev from the stibnite. Alternately I could drop the rumi's and use the stibnite and the jade which gets me 22k ev with 25% block. I'm thinking that block is probably more reliable than ev, but I'm not sure. The jade and stibnite flasks so far have been a great combination, I can face tank argus without getting hit at all for example, even with only 1k base evasion.

Let's be real, you'll have a hard time with the endgame if you don't have at least a currency tab and 1 or more custom tabs. That's a type of pay to win. Even if you don't need the aforementioned tabs, you'll potentially super charge your char just by having the ability to sell stuff with tabs, and having good game sense/economy knowledge.

It's perfectly possible to sell stuff without premium tabs. You're paying for convenience at most.

Rumis is the best defense flask, evasion is modified by accuracy while block isn't

also gently caress with a rathpith you max both blocks and can ignore the stibnite too

What's a cool build for getting back into the game with that doesn't have stringent item requirements? I tried going into the builds section of the official forums, but that place is a mess. Nothing with Double Totems though, as that was my old main and I'd like to try something new.

So, for picking jewels for Doomfletch:

Would a 16% phys with bows, or just 16% phys in general, be a better option than 10% damage?

Like I'm not sure if the generic damage% would be applied each time - making that 10% damage be 10% phys, 11% lightning, 11% fire, and 11% cold.


Also this. Go ahead and give a dude two jewels and a wisdom scroll for his .95 item and see what happens.

It's conversion it only gets applied once. So Phys %, w/ Bows, and projectile damage are your best options.

I was thinking high crit would make 100% ignite chance unnecessary, while providing more damage.

There's actually a fair amount of builds that don't outright require but one or two items. Whispering Ice, for instance, only REALLY needs the stick to work; it's just that using other items hurts your DPS. I'd go with that. It's pretty fun and effective, considering it's basically Shaper-capable when fully equipped.

if you're solo a spellcaster works best for this, Essence Drain Trickster can do literally anything up to Shaper

if you join the guild you'll have several good weapons in the stash, so Earthquake Juggernaut or Tornadoshot Deadeye or similar would work

Personally I think almost all the MTX look terrible and don't match the art style of the rest of the game. But the game is awesome and I felt guilty enough about playing for nothing that I bought $50 worth of points plus some stash tabs. Still haven't actually spent the currency and I probably never will :shobon:

I just got back into the game and I'm enjoying my phys Flicker Strike duellist. I paid 1c for a 450 DPS Kondo's sword, 3c for the Blood Dance boots and another 1c for a Daresso's Defiance and I was off to the races. It's up to T11 maps now and trucking along just fine. Plus it's a lot of fun to ping around like the pinball of doom.

Premium stash tabs afford one the opportunity to make folks paste ridiculous garbage into the game chat.

I hope you're not referring to all of the MTX because a good number of the skill effect MTX is literally stuff that monsters use (i.e. in the game's art style).

Armor sets are a whole 'nother story though.
