junan_paalla posted:Doing the tower on your alts after getting the roster-wide first clear rewards nets you a big bunch of honing materials. Also be sure to research the t1 honing material cost reduction and honing failure reduction upgrades in your stronghold. Beyond that it's mainly playing multiple alts and funneling the daily/ weekly honing material rewards to the alt you want to get to t2. is that why some people suggest doing tower on an alt first, so your main has extra mats / can sell more unbound stuff? not sure i can handle adding any alts to my daily play so idk if theres anything to take advantage of for myself

joepinetree posted:I started playing deadeye after getting my shadowhunter to the mid 900s, and I liked deadeye to maybe consider making it my new main. However, to get my shadowhunte to 900s I did most of the t1 islands already, and my understanding is that those are once per roster. So how would I get mats to get my alts to 600? Time helps. More alts in T1 feeding mats helps. Selling leapstones you get in guardian raids & unbound moonstones & unbound shard bags from your main for gold and converting gold to crystals to use on mari's shop (or using gold for upgrade mats, some of the t1 stuff is cheaper on the market than on mari) helps too.

You still have to go do all of the story quests to advance, and earn the materials to boost up your gear. You can buy the materials too (you'll have to without access to tier 2 Chaos dungeons), but its extremely expensive.

Thanks all, that makes sense! Unfortunately I still have a couple excruciating upgrades to go before I get to 600 but I'll just rush the dungeons once I do.

Wow this game absolutely demolishes my laptop battery. I thought it was because I was on an older machine, but it put it on my newer one (both macbook pros with bootcamp) and it still went from 100% - 10% in a couple hours while plugged in. That’s a pretty long session for me, but god help me if I’m not fully charged when I start.

For anyone complaining about matchmaking harder content, I was on the verge of ragequitting because of the T2 Guardian Raids and was angry about people wasting my time in Abyssal Dungeons by not reading up on one-shot mechanics. Using the Party Finder has changed my life, and this is easily the most fun I’ve had in any MMO in years. I’m definitely getting lucky with groups, but just the extra effort it takes to find and join a group that simply asks you to have read a guide gets over that annoying hurdle of randoms just smashing their heads repeatedly against a brick wall. Each group has been fun, patient, and supportive of each other even during wipes (which will still happen), and this week’s the first one where I cleared all 5 T2 Abyssals. It also made me finally start working on some real alts because I want more characters that can play Abyssals weekly since they’re super fun and crazy rewarding. Tl;dr don’t use “matchmake” for Guardian Raids and Abyssal Dungeons. Sign up for a pre made in Party Find instead.

I wish you could keep doing them for low/no rewards because, yeah, they’re super fun and more interesting imo than the guardians. Capping at two a week (?) feels silly, especially with how complicated some of the gimmicks are — it’d be nice to be able to practice them more. At least the early ones open up pretty quick for alts.

Does anyone have advice on building gunlancers? I'm following the typical guides and such but man, I'm surprised by how anemic and wimpy the class feels, and this isn't even compared to DPS classes like my Deadeye, I mean he's even underperforming compared to my support Paladin as well. I'm just finding it really difficult to do any damage: yes, I know that's not their primary goal, and the shield is nice, but I wasn't expecting it to come with such a serious trade-off. I tried going into a Un'nil raid solo with a vanilla support-ish Paladin and a vanilla blue-ish Gunlancer, fresh out of powerpass: both just 320 and with a basic build, no engravings or anything. The paladin killed it with 8 minutes left, the Gunlancer timed out with 25% hp left. Is this just the tax that comes with having a big shield? Maybe it just takes longer for them to come online? I was using blue skills mostly instead of red with no blue engraving to boost that, so maybe I was shooting myself in the foot and being unfair, but still, the difference in damage feels staggering.

Getting the combat readiness engraving to 1, maybe a level of barrier and a full set of accessories with mastery makes a huge difference. Double slot the class engraving, accessories with mastery and +1 or +2 to barrier are really affordable on the market, become the immortal bubble boy you were destined to be.

Your test was definitely unfair to gunlancer. Their engraving gives them damage unlike the paladin's. I don't know if gunlancer's damage catches up to the other dps lategame, but I am always extremely happy to have a gunlancer dps in my groups. They do incredible amounts of stagger damage, are in a great spot to counter, and have higher uptime than other classes on the boss thanks to their shield. Also speaking as a bard, I felt I could stay kind of competitive with the dps classes until they really took off in later t1. There just aren't enough stats at 320 ilvl to make a huge difference yet.

Even with the engraving my freshly 50 blue Gunlancer feels pretty squishy and low damage. Not sure what ilvl it starts to feel better, but it’s not great at the beginning.

gandlethorpe posted:Just hit level 50 shortly into the Arthetine quest. Does anything cool unlock at this point that isn't story gated? What's this about a regular skill that's only unlockable at level 50 that doesn't show up in my K menu? It was there when I go to the training area with the angel chick. You may want to put Arthetine on hold and go to North Vern, it's going to very quickly put you onto track to get your first awakening skill and gear you up to i250, which will let you do a chaos dungeon and basically immediately jump to 302 to do guardian raids and hone gear. I was working on Vern today, hit 250 from quest rewards, then ran a chaos dungeon and immediately replaced my entire gearset.

Thinking about trading out Soundholic for Rhythm Buckshot in my bard's raid build. Soundholic helps with meter gain and does a lot of damage but I'm always up in the face of the boss and have a lot of opportunities to get counters that nobody else is taking.

Yeah, around 560-580, it started to suck a lot. Just keep up on your dailies and be patient. 590-600 was a bit soul crushing. However, then I hit 600 and had so many t2 materials in my bags, that I hit 1000 immediately. Now I am grinding to the next checkpoint 1100.  Don't give up!

I suppose I should probably power pass an alt - having a hard time deciding on what. How does the tower thing work? I think I did a handful of floors already. Is there like "first time roster" rewards that are the card packs and such, then secondary characters get honing mats instead? What stuff/activities do alts get that they use to funnel back to main/roster?

Oxyclean posted:I suppose I should probably power pass an alt - having a hard time deciding on what. Alts are pretty low effort, generally you'll raise a T1 alt to 340 ilvl (+2) and then they sit there doing chaos dungeons/maybe guardian raids and funneling any unbound mats to your main. Once your main is in the next tier, you research the improved honing for the previous tier and start pushing your alts up. You can also push them with any bound mats they collect and do the tower. Also helpful to have some people to get una dailies done on so you can do more than 3 a day for rep and getting to your weekly una point cap. I wouldn't stress too much about the powerpass, 600 gold is really not a lot and that's all the powerpass is worth, less than that really because if you pay the 600 gold you can do a quest in luterra that gives 15 green class books and 7 rare class books, and the powerpass for some reason doesn't let you do that quest. If you raise an alt and don't like it, raise something else.

Oxyclean posted:I suppose I should probably power pass an alt - having a hard time deciding on what. Yes to the bolded. Alts get (from this): Una's Tasks, which reward character-bound mats but a lot of reputation rewards are significant and account-wide. You can only get each rep reward once/day, but alts allow you to progress more than three tracks at once. Chaos Dungeons and Guardian Raids can both earn you unbound mats. You can earn gold from six Abyssal Dungeons/week, which if you're not in T2 yet you haven't unlocked enough to run six. If you are, they still give extra chances at legendary cards/engravings/etc. And yeah as noted above, Power Passes are worth less than 600 gold and you get nine Knowledge Transfers, so boosting a single alt isn't a heavy investment. admanb fucked around with this message at 07:09 on Feb 27, 2022 |

Since I don't plan on playing Berserker or Sorceress and their rare class books sell for a ton more than any other class, I've been opening my chests, picking those books and then selling them on the MB so I can get like 2 or 3 of the books I actually want. It's great.

You're right its not going to poo poo out damage in Abyss dungeons, but once you get your crit and specialization up you will be shielded and criting a ton while just face tanking mechanics that arent insta-wipe.  This is just from today, buts its far from the first time someone has gushed about the GL and the shields in a party I've been in. You really feel like a god at times.

You also have the incredible, unique power of taunt, letting you interrupt boss attacks and making them face you, offering their juicy backside to the rest of the group. Unparalleled boss control, party-wide shield, easy counters and near 100% damage uptime while being very forgiving to play makes the gunlancer a really fun and impactful class to play and a welcome friend in dungeons and raids.

Plus Nallasia's Energy if you take it gives a nice damage reduction buff to your teammates along with a shield. The chaos dungeon skill version is also really good for just everyday questing and of course chaos dungeons, you have a pretty good chance of making MVP if you do them in a party thanks to the surge cannon always coming off cd quickly in the third stage.
