Also any ideas on how to build Revenant?

It looks like range is a dump state for him, so just power strength and efficiency with a bit of duration?

You get more charges for mesmer with power strength. Duration is a good stat which affects sleep time and energy drain on his disco mode. Efficiency is super useful because you'll be casting mesmer armour regularly. I usually go with max power str, a tiny bit of duration so the stat hovers around 100, and the rest efficiency.

Dump health, armor, and shields.

edit: my normal, all-around build is 152/130/100/223 (mostly played as a tank). I also have a danse build that is 40/175/138/168.

Danse build feels okay, but the inability to hit things on a different level to yourself is annoying. The beams need to go higher and lower and hit more of an angle.

I’ve been seeing the big sentients being one shot on the Orphix mission, any clue what weapons doing it? Even in guard mode my voidrig doesn’t seem to do more than a 1/6 of its health a shot.

Merry Christmas, Santa Geesegod! Can I sit on your lap? I've been so good this year. :unsmigghh:

I have enough shame that I'm not just going to ask for a bunch of riven slots. I do not have a problem. However, I've been using Nova a lot lately between arbitrations and steel path nonsense. I'd love to pick up the Nova Atomica collection, but I can't get any buyers for my rivens and the mod market is moving very slow lately. Yeah, the skin is great, but that syandana is amazing! That can be used for so much fashion frame. However, I suppose it's up to Santa Geesegod whether I find coal or a gift on Christmas.

Regardless of my personal request; it's really cool that you're doing this. i try to give what I can to my fellow goons, but you (of course) take it to another level.

Did one round of the event last night. Weird as hell setup. Had to borrow a mech, though mine should be done today. Let me make sure I've got the rotation right:
  • Bring mech to deal with Big Nasty
  • Big Nasty shoots resonators out, destroy resonators (man I wish I had a mech Zenith)
  • Shoot weakpoint with archgun
  • Resonator wave 2, destroy resonators
  • Shoot weakpoint with archgun again and it dies
  • Repeat for next big nasty
Is that roughly right? At what point are you supposed to bring in the "good amp" that's allegedly necessary? Resetting Sentient resistances, sure, but even a Mote can do that (if ineffectively). Amp doesn't seem to do much to BN, I have a 665 and 80% of my hits were 0-damage hits even aimed at the weak point. Resonators just die normally to weapons fire.

Basically.
-Theres a fixed rotation for the orphix spawns too, ask someone to keep track of it if you're new (it's ABC(C?) first then ABBACC repeating afaik).
-Fluctus is a mech zenith (kinda? it's basically excalibur's 4 projectiles), but you can use spoiler dashes and melee/amps to take care of resonators - i never use them on actual sentients. I prefer the alt fire mausolon to hit the weakpoints but you can use voidrigs exalted 4 to bust them.
-Max score is 36 orphixes on endurance which gives 20k score (2000 cells). Every sentient you kill gives another point, so 10 per cell.
-Certain rotation rewards can drop lavos and cedo parts, so maybe wait to buy those from dad. I don't think there's any use for dupes, but at least cedo is tradeable.

Neat. Any weird interactions with other mechanics I should be aware of, like Profit-Taker's interaction with AoE weapons? I have a very good Grattler with a riven, but I won't pull it out of storage if it won't work. Have to rank the Mausolon anyway though.

You can't crit resonators, so many amps do pretty well against them. Hurting the orphix will depend a lot on your amp, but my 423 pew pews the eye just fine.

Explosions are weird, I assume much like the Scarlet Spear ground goatse. Maus altfire is great, if it hits.

Timing is fixed by orphix spawns with around 55 minutes + 30s for extract for a full run, no way to speed it up that i know of yet.
Most of the challenge seems to be sentient damage shredding your mech (becomes real mean at 30+ orphixes) so you need some sustain, and orphix kill-time (they get very tanky towards the end) to avoid doubles orphix spawns. Theyre on a fixed timer and dont wait, which boost sentient control and can lead to a quick gameover.

just to add to this, with any projectile weapon you have to hit the weak spot exactly or you get 0 damage. rcw is right that mausolon charge shot is really good at this. AOE weapons can do it, Arquebex shots work great, but you have to land the hit cleanly.

the only exception to the "hit it exactly or get 0" that I've found is Bonewidow's exalted blade. You just slash at where the weakpoint is from any angle and you do damage, so just get close and mash melee key repeatedly.

resonators are one-hit or close to it with any melee including operator melee, so your amp is even less important here than most operator gameplay. just dash up and punch.

Here's the thing, I'm a feminist.





The Cortege alt fire can do a tremendous amount of damage to the Orphix weak point, but you've gotta basically get the muzzle in the mouth to account for both the lateral spread and the heavy arc

PSA: Remember to grab the Unreal Tournament weapon skins by midnight tomorrow on the Epic Games launcher thing. I followed this Reddit guide and it didn't take too long. I think you might get a few weapon slots, too, since I think it gives you the Drakgoon, Ogris, and Stahlta for free. Free week-long affinity booster, too.

Under current events that's a total 4x affinity for a week (for those who haven't been in game for a while), which is pretty drat good. I'm still opting to pass, but it's a good deal.

4x affinity and get a friendly MR30 to bless you and the amount of affinity you get is outrageous. For anyone looking to cap focus, it'll take approximately no minutes in ESO to do so.

On wave 2 or 3 or something I got a catbuff right as a wave started and then the last 160k to my cap so fast I didn't even notice it happening. Time to max focus schools, I guess.

Intrinsics cap at the maximum you can spend right now. If you want to dump a bunch into command when it releases, don’t max what you have (leaving one of the existing ones, I’d suggest gunnery, at rank 9 will leave you enough to get command to 9 immediately.)

Considering that the final level of any single intrinsic is as much as it takes to level any other intrinsic up to 9, you can basically just leave 1 intrinsic at 9 and if you grind to the max intrinsic amount, you'll instantly have enough to level command to 9 immediately.

Sucks for the people that have fully maxed intrinsics though, I agree. But they did already promise a full respec, so you can leave, like, Gunnery at 9 or some poo poo and have 10 Command immediately.

Very related: why is the Corvas so bad in atmospheric content? I figured I'd stick it on my mech and go kill corpus on Vallis to get affinity and toroids, but even with rubedo-lined and dual rounds it was taking 2-3 charged shots to kill basic Terra Corpus at 0-star alerts and only got worse from there.
