Decided on leveling through the story twice as powerpass'ing a character seems to leave them missing a lot if you ever want them as a main, got my paladin to 35 and sorc to 29, definitely wouldn't level again but doing it a second time is faster and you can pick up a few things easily missed the first time like seeds, secret dungeons, and world bosses.

So, does anyone have other sorc build ideas? I've been trying this one and.. it is absolutely terrible. https://lost-ark.maxroll.gg/build-guides/sorceress-leveling-guide The text mentions focusing on fast cooldown skills. And then doesn't at all leaving you often with everything on cooldown. It also skips inferno which is where you get a bunch of weakpoint boosts. Including the only one that can crack boss defense mode. Kind of weird they are skipping it. And other skills are being skipped as well even when they too have other defense skipping options like rime arrow. I guess I should check if there is another guide, but just saying for anyone following, it'll drive you batty for how much you'll be chucking auto attacks still at 40 just because they put waay too much weight on skill 10 too early. But also chose some really questionable skills (seriously, explosion is dumb since a little add can just block it from hitting the boss you wanted to hit while punishing strike does the same without the same problem) Outside that, I'm at level 40 now, and I have to say this game would be better off if it more focused on those large set pieces. Just had my second one and man was that good. Similar to the castle wall one was. I may also be slightly biased because sorc is all about large aoe too, but combing through those two events was cathartic for me.

TeaJay posted:I've been playing a bit over the weekend and made it to level ... 25 or so, just got in a forest area where I fought the third world boss. I'm going in as the gunlancer and it feels ... a bit slow? I have some good burst damage, but my none-burst skills seem to hit pretty low and I find myself waiting for cooldowns every now and then. When I get to use the big skills it feels good, though. Maybe the pace will pick up when I get the rest of my skills? (slow also applies to how I'm constantly running behind everyone else) Gunlancer is one of the slowest classes in the game for rushing the Main Story Quest, according to one reddit speedrunner. I boosted mine so I wouldn't have to level with it, but I assume if you focus on his red skills you'll do more damage while levelling. Take Shield Charge and Leap Attack and use them to get around too. I don't think there's much variety in armor yet, you get your chaos dungeon set at level 50 then upgrade that until you graduate to T2. There's MAYBE two armor sets per tier? I'm not sure.

Oxyclean posted:I think part of it just comes down to what people think of when you say "this game but harder" and people just worried about it being a more tedious version of what they're already playing rather than something that might be more engaging. Ironically, being forced to play a game for dozens of hours before you get to the good part is possibly the most tedious game design imaginable.

I hit 50, finished Vern far enough to get my powerpass, got all my gear to 302 from doing a couple chaos dungeons, and now I have to figure out how to actually play the game and what I should be doing. It looks like to increase gear level I have to hone stuff, and to hone stuff I need some sort of special gem that I don't have any of or know where to get. Looks like I'm watching some youtube videos at some point this evening.

That's pretty much the build I used, and the crash course video he links has a section for the leveling. Make sure you're managing your ident gauge so that you can open on a boss with ident + explosion + lightning bolt. That will by itself kill almost any boss.

Not that Nintendosmash and esportsgamerlive aren't dependable websites, but has anyone noticed the absolute glut of blog wordspinner type sites as #1 on the search results for anything Lost Ark related? Usually there's one or two tossed in when you search for something in other games, but they're easily the top ten results when legit sites (maxroll, icyveins, etc) all exist.

No doubt, but if it was dozens of hours of dick-punch-difficulty, or hp-sponge enemies, before you get to the good part, that would be worse. but also, that's not ironic, that's just a separate way a game can be tedious.

They took frost's call instead and picked unstable rule at the second tier to make it behave like lightning vortex. But with a longer cooldown and smaller radius (since you can get an aoe boost for vortex). Most likely I assume for enlightenment, but I rarely need to pop rupture as it is and sometimes straight forget. In dungeons, sure. But even then, the bosses are downing at a rate that It isn't as big a deal yet. I'm sure it'll be more important later and I am missing the last skill which would be the meteor awakening skill. Just for now, seems.. meh to put it lightly I guess.

I used the first fire skill for a while instead because I liked the fire blanket look. If you're having problems grouping people before your nuke use a skill to group people

If you're having problems grouping people before your nuke use a skill to group people It isn't the grouping, it is the point that the build focuses heavily on the longest cooldown skills so there are points where after you've cleared a few because as said, you need a couple of spells to kill a group, you can end up just running around with everything on cooldown. Edit: I should say I felt it during the mayhem assault where I was just running around dodging incoming fire waiting for a spell to come off cooldown.

Cooking recipes are my favorite example of this. Many sites with recipes are the same absolute garbage of tons of exposition, pictures, links, etc designed to make ad revenue and rank highly. The recipe is generally in a random spot in the middle of a page and often hidden in a drop down. Aggressively unfriendly user design to drive traffic and make ad revenue. I drink more because of conversations with marketers and SEO experts than anything else at work.

Leveling as a scrapper and it's frustratingly easy to get stuck dashing into geometry or just get caught on a bosses big toe if the dash is on cooldown and get hit by dumb poo poo, or the numerous times i've been hit by things i've clearly been out of because of lag. Probably my biggest complaint.

Vortex does a pitiful amount of damage, frost's call does an insane amount of damage. At rank 10 on my sorc, frost's call does just shy of 46k damage. Punishing strike, without the magick amplification bonuses which you should use it around, will do just under 64k. Lightning vortex will do about 24k. He's putting points into the things that do the most damage. Vortex is a mobbing tool for gathering things up, usually in chaos dungeons, not for killing lots of stuff. The class will have downtime between blowing up the entire screen, that's just how it works. Picking your bust windows and having good positioning are pretty core to the class.

EU is so hosed. 1 pm I started trying to queue., it took an hour to even get into the queue. at 2pm I got into the queue at around 16,000 After 2 hours or so I absentmindedly closed the lid on the laptop. Welp. I got my first ever laptop last month after decades of desktops, so that's a lesson learned. 5pm, I get back in after dozens of attempts. 15,800 It's now 7.15 and the queue is at 3,800 Good times. Now part of that was my gently caress up, but still, what a mess. It's going to be time for bed as I get into the game probably, haha. I'm going to stay logged in as long as possible using a mouse clicker/jiggler program Lol, look at this, 1 million downloads this week? I wonder how many are Lost Ark players trying to avoid mega queues

I can't remember if it was in here or discord, but I've seen people say that powerpassing a new main isn't recommended right off the bat cause they'll be lacking something. Is it just cause you won't have all the bound battle items and % hp potions that a levelled character would have? I've been saving all my bound to roster chests full of them, my striker is almost 50 and I was tempted to try out and maybe switch to artillerist once I get there. There's definitely no way I'm taking another character through "press G simulator" anytime soon.

Soul fist will run out of energy if you take a bunch of expensive skills or have a bunch of swiftness and aren't hyped up, which is why the infinite energy class engraving is so nice. I dunno about the other classes, it may never be an issue unless you have extremely high swiftness and a bunch of CD reduction tripods.
