No buying maps/anything resembling map pieces. Got the last staff from a Stormcaller set, well above average luck since I got all 4 in 5 staves.

Does PoB calculate increases to shock effectiveness? The mood on Inpulsa's is green, indicating it does, but equipping it doesn't seem to change the dps.

dyzzy posted:The hidden downside of ngamahu builds, no easy PoB metric. Personally I just ignore the sheet calculations, worked all the way through t16 I've just estimated by making a fake level 16 Molten Strike skill group in PoB and sticking supports on it. "Good enough."

Svensken posted:Does PoB calculate increases to shock effectiveness? Increased shock effect doesnt actually make shock more powerful, it just reduces the amount of damage you need to deal in order to get a max effect shock. As far as I know, theres no way to go above the 50% hardcap on shock damage.

I have tried drawing the guys out by kiting, but I have had very little success getting the boss to split from his guys, and I also have a pretty difficult time even telling which one is which since they are all running around trying to get me. Oh well, was mostly just venting because he had just given me one of those stupid missions as a daily which I was being very careful on, I got the target far enough from his dudes to kill, but they all ran in after he fell down, and of course ran right into the MS balls before they faded and instantly died. Even if I had managed that, I would have still had to somehow kill all the minions but one.

If I haven't murderballed the guards before I see them, I usually just run them around in big loops for a bit before slamming the main dude as hard as possible. Odds are one of them gets caught on terrain or charges off in another direction and doesn't run back in time before the main dude dies.

I'm thinking of doing a ~80% conversion flicker slayer that uses a disfavour. Because why not.

it makes me wonder if somewhere on GGG is keeping track of success rate for master missions, where all the others are like 90%+ and vorici alone is hovering around not close to that%
|
# ? Jan 23, 2018 16:28 |
|
Vorici might have a few annoying missions but hes far less annoying than most other masters. Haku/catarina/vagan/tora/elreon are almost always tedious as gently caress. Especially the timed elreon missions.

The master missions could really do with a work over. Vorici's missions are maybe more interesting than the other masters', but they still don't exactly captivate me. I mostly play SSF casually, and in every league Vorici annoyingly gatekeeps a bunch of extremely useful master crafts. I know that with my playing pace, I'm not going to see a good 5 link, unless I deal with his bullshit daily. I'd personally like to see the missions become more like the labyrinth. Have each mission gain 1 master level, gated only by whether you can do it or not. Maybe give only 1 attempt per day, if the 'daily' aspect is important for player retention or whatever.

i was under the impression that the statistics supported spending the fusings yourself (with the obvious caveat that if you're not lucky it will end up taking more). if not, i guess i've just had superhuman luck with five-links so far this league

5l's shouldn't be that hard to get, unless you're literally playing an hour a week and barely touch maps by the end of a league I mean hell, there's a pretty ok chance that you can buy a 5l from a vendor day1 on the league before you hit maps if you start checking them regularly as you level up.

Otherwise self fuse or buy the unique already 6linked.

Five linking is fine to do without vorici but if you're SSF you probably shouldn't try to manually 6L

Terminus Flicker might even be able to get away with not using Abyssus thanks to Abyss jewels. Which is a verbal connection I only just made.

Vagan's super quick unless you get dummies. Tora's fine if you get her at the start of the map and a PITA otherwise. Elreon can gently caress right off, I only talk to him if I can see multiple relics.

Then proceed to do the loving mission because Haku is such a bro.
