Node posted:I'm having issues with screen tearing in this game, and not any other. It runs at a perfect 120fps except for the sync issues. In the Nvidia control panel, under 3d application settings, global, turn vsync ON from here and set the max fps limit to your monitor refresh rate. In-game settings should have vsync OFF and fps limit on for the same number if you have the option. I was having gsync issues a while back and doing the global settings like this is what fixed it for me.

So it seems like the "crits and all subsequent damage for N seconds is absorbed and then explodes" gem, presumably because it absorbs the initial crit, prevents the rogue aspect that gives you free dark shroud charges from actually working. You can unequip the gem and watch it loving rain shroud charges, then equip the gem and you get zero no matter how much you attack. This actually makes me wonder if because the damage is all getting absorbed it is interfering with other on-hit/on-crit skills, like uh siphoning strikes. Nerfed as it is it's still supposedly a 75% chance on lucky crits and, like, it should do SOMETHING in big packs but it doesn't really seem to do jack poo poo. Unrelatedly, gaining a dark shroud charge no longer seems to trigger the decoy, at all which is super lame. I never actually used the "suppress incoming damage until you use a subterfuge skills, causing the suppressed damage to explode" before today but I was hoping it would...work the same way and I could just get it to trigger when I gained a shroud charge. But it also definitely doesn't work. Weirdly I can't find any mention of this changing, or any hotfix or news.

What's the highest level of malignant heart? Are they just level 1-4 based on world tier, or do they go higher than 4?

Any Necros running that vicious heart that increase your crit damage for crits but decrease regular damage? Any good? Probably need a really high crit for it to be good yeah? The Little Kielbasa posted:What's the highest level of malignant heart? Are they just level 1-4 based on world tier, or do they go higher than 4? I think it aligns with WT. Level 3 is sacred, 4 is ancestral. So yes, I think you're right.

Dr Kool-AIDS posted:I don't know a lot about streamers in general, but I feel like some of them definitely lean into the prevailing mood of the moment even if they have to be a little cynical and dishonest to do it. Warhammer 3 streamers flat out admitted to suppressing doubts about that game when they were given pre-release access to it because they didn't want to kill people's hype, and it's not hard to imagine other streamers suppressing positive things they have to say/exaggerating concerns about games when what fans want to click on is rage bait either. It's not that streamers are THE problem in creating rage cycles, but they can obviously be a big part of the feedback loop these days. This isn't a new thing. As someone else said, TotalBiscuit galvanized huge swathes of angry nerds with scattershot criticisms - same with Stephanie Sterling, known as Jim Sterling pre transition, who even had this weird quasi-facistic aesthetic stood at a podium wearing a black trenchcoat and gloves. Both of them were (and Sterling still is, often,) guilty of getting way too angry about things that merit a more demure criticism that probably wouldn't do the same kind of numbers - as well as conflating people who make games with a living with people who make business decisions about games for a living, while ignoring the huge grey area where business pragmatism is required to even get a game out the door for most studios. Like, 90% of the time, the game didn't come out before it was ready because the company hates Gamers and doesn't respect the Consumer, it came out early because it was the only way to make payroll for their staff. Also on the streamer hype front, the whole streamer hype cycle was one of the reasons that Artifact, Valve's answer to Hearthstone, collapsed entirely. Marketing AND testing was done via a handpicked group of career Dota streamers, in a way that helped nobody.

fknlo posted:What builds were the rogues in the low 40's using to beat the wt3 capstone? My generic flurry build had zero issues getting to the final boss but I just didn't have the damage and survivability to handle him and the adds. It was mainly the archers and corpse bows getting me but I just couldn't keep up. I'm well past that now, just curious. boss was easier than the rest of the dungeon as TB, probably level 42 or something

Twisting blades seems to be the way for that one I guess. Sigil crafting is supposed to unlock after you run a nightmare dungeon right? I've run several and it hasn't yet.

At 52 my bear pulverize druid feels really great. I must have passes some treshold with the damage buckets or whatever because suddenly I am just destroying everything really fast in tier 3 and it feels so good. This is what I had hoped barbarian would feel like. I am just a melee bulldozer bullying everything and there are rocks and explosions everywhere

Thorns barb is a neat gimmick but it suffers from the same problem as every other barb build in that you have to use all the shouts which take up all your slots and the default shout cooldown is at least 5s too long Like seriously, just decrease the cooldowns of the shouts. It is tedious to wait for them and there's no reason not to that isn't bullshit. They don't do damage like in d2

the wt4 dungeon is now noticeably weaker than wt4 because they raised the enemy level to 75. its actually quite hard for me to clear out elite packs while i didnt even move while fighting elias with a 65 rogue. im curious if other people will have a similar experience or if my damage is just on the low side, didn't spend much time optimizing my gear on wt3.

The barb build I took to 85 preseason didn't use a single shout which in hindsight is funny as hell. Optimal? Probably not, but fun to play.

like you should be able to have 100% shout uptime with the skill tree alone. Call barb a support class, whatever

I don't see the functional difference between Necro curses and shouts, except curses are easy to use. poo poo, iron maiden is even a resource generator. I guess war cry grants more damage.

You could also build systems around shouts as-is using aspects or uniques to just give them a lot more functions, triggers, or whatever. That's probably the play.

In wt3 I've started getting new hearts and imo the sorc ones are just so dumb and/or boring. I got one that switches effects ever 20 kills (ias, barrier, and something else) and another that increases crit damage but lowers crit chance and how the hell do i even evaluate those? gimme one that shoots more meteors please. also, yeah+ to that streamer chat, has an seriously negative effect on mp games which I barely play anymore. Playing sorc through s1 it's absolutely stunning how overblown the reaction to that patch was, like i'm not just using words here, it's unbelievable, i'm stunned and a little afraid

I only used the one that grants Unstoppable and got to 87 just fine. need berserking from war cry to get thorns damage from one of the aspects, could use the chain pull attack + double swing to maintain berserking instead could use iron skin + the aspect to get unstoppable instead of using rally that leaves just challenging shout which is 100% required for thorns my idea of a passive increasing effectiveness and reducing cooldown with just one shout on the bar would be so good, I'm a genius That way you can focus on damage, recovery, or taunt/niche shout for thorns build hawowanlawow fucked around with this message at 17:08 on Jul 24, 2023 |

Speculatory information, but I'm pretty sure that the sigil are weighted against character level & won't drop higher than your At Level tier until well into nightmare dungeons.
