The radius goes up. It's a penalty, so -1.2 is better than -1.5

Yeah I see that it shrinks the radius if you spend points on it (I figure this actually comes out to the angle of the cone they are scattered in) but I don't understand why that's really a benefit

You're still not seeing the negative sign. The default radius is 2 meters. The Quick Jack modifier subtracts 1.5 meters with the first point, so the skill has 0.5 meters left. The next two points change that to subtracting 1.3 and then 1.2 meters, so it the skill will have 0.8 meters when you're fully invested.

oh you mean EACH JACK does a little AOE? I see, yeah that's kind of worthwhile, to me it actually doesn't matter much because I just spam it at bosses and stuff between cooldowns thanks for explaining

Yeah I found a rather nice one of the overseer MIs: for the main hand I have Stormcaller's Spellblade (not really great, just what I happen to have) I need to review what I can craft now too, I'm unlocking some of the higher tier item mods that give you a huge +damage% reserve power on each e: Rotting Croplands, around Homestead, really sucks rear end

Same as before, put it in /home/deck (or wherever) and run the launch option. To rule out any permissions issues with the script, open the konsole before you leave desktop mode and do I think it was basically all this and an earlier proton version got me to a pretty good state.

Interesting to note that that phys to poison conversion on Oathbreaker's Righteous Fervor happens before armor piercing is calculated, so Soldier seems to be the correct choice rather than one of the other classes that adds flat Piercing:

It was a stuttering mess prior to the proton change for me. The biggest fix for me was the CPU fix that made the game use all cores on the CPU. Making sure to set the .sh file to be executable was something I missed doing before and the game still used the first CPU core only before I made that change. Ever since applying that fix, I get a solid 90fps on my OLED Deck with high settings and like 10W TDP. Thanks for posting that link though, that was a huge help!

Big one I guess is SR which I haven't really done anything with yet, but what else do people do? Because the loot scales everywhere you can do pretty much anything and get good loot since 94 is the highest level requirement for gear. Just running act bosses is a decent loot run on itself if you can't handle tougher content. Skeleton Key dungeons (Steps of Torment and the like) are solid loot-a-ramas if you can beat them consistently and are a good source for a variety of monster infrequents. The Shattered Realm scales up pretty gradually so you can start it and see how far you can push - there's keystone items you get that'll let you start at higher waves on going back in based on how far you made it the first time. Crucible is kind of its own zone and can drop a lot of items and iron bits if you can push through to the highest difficulty.

You can assign it to left click and then you'll just do regular attacks while it cools down.

that doesn't work with berenath's fury, right? or is it just not optimal? every reaper build i've seen recommends just using abb to refresh lethal assault instead of using it on left click

To add to this, there’s a variety of routes people run for farming specific MIs, crafting materials or deterministic drops from specific bosses/areas. These usually have a couple chests to blow up along the way for blueprints and such. Ugdenbog, Malmouth, Mountain Deeps, etc. Phone posting, but I’m sure you can find other people’s ms paint maps. I try to work those into things like Steps or Bastion or boss runs just for more variety.

I picked this back up again recently to check out the 1.2 changes and I've been having fun on a new pet Conjurer. Several years ago I took a Shieldbreaker to 100, my only high level character. I don't really remember what I was doing, from looking over the gear seems to be some kind of shield throw/fire retaliation thing; I was probably just winging it. Anybody have suggestions on what I could tweak this character into for starting some of the endgame farming? I don't mind tearing it totally apart and doing a full respec/devotion swap for a drastically different build or whatever, just not sure what my "good" options are. https://www.grimtools.com/calc/eVLG8GM2 e: I'm max rep with all? the factions Prel fucked around with this message at 01:12 on Dec 6, 2023 |

You're actually really close to a good spot with your devotions, skills, and gear, because everything's pretty synergistic with each other, you just need a big dose of OA and fire resist % reduction. Just keeping most the gear you have and rejiggering the components, augments, and devotions, here's something that should bash things pretty good with about 2700 OA and 3000 DA, and about 2900 OA with Ascension up: https://www.grimtools.com/calc/Q2zevg4N The Combustion Band is subbed in for your blue ring because it comes with -% fire resist on the proc. Relic is a nice damage upgrade; either Honor or Absolution works fine. Devotions got rejiggered around so you can grab all of Ulzuin's Torch. The crafted components are a little expensive and might take time and materials you don't have yet so they're flexible because resistance augments can sub in for the defensive ability augments you have. Down the line some Stormbearers boots will do you real good over the stonetreaders for an offensive bump, and if you can scrabble together the Virtue's set that's a great Fire Aegis set.

chaosapiant posted:Found it! Here we go: https://www.grimtools.com/calc/pZryQ50V Looks like you're trying to juggle fire and vitality damage here, I would focus on pure fire and lose that chest piece. I'm not super familiar with all of demo's bombs, but blackwater cocktail and thermite mines are solid. You have one point over in BWC so you can go refund that from the witch (+ skills can only exceed the max base skill by 10). On the soldier side, maybe shave off some points from markovians and zolhans (20% chance to proc is usually good for wps skills) and put at least one in the soldier passives like veterancy and military conditioning; one point in menhir's will can be a real life saver. Definitely put some points in field command for oa\da and it's secondary node for attack speed. Devotion wise I'd ditch wendigo and bat as you want to scale fire not vitality. I would probably put turtle on a different skill like flame touched rather than blast shield, since it's not active all the time. I took out wendigo and bat and replaced with fiend and ulzuin's torch which should suit your build a bit better. Also adjusted some skills so you could could fill out the soldier tree a bit. https://www.grimtools.com/calc/4ZD0db1Z I kept zolhan's maxed over markovian's since it gives passthrough for ranged attacks. MonsieurChoc posted:Here's what I have right now: Looks good so far, are you going for a cold focus? Herstory Begins Now posted:anyone able to give my first character a look and tell me what obvious things I'm missing? I was doing a similar build following this guide https://forums.crateentertainment.com/t/1-2-0-2-not-a-step-back-fire-pet-conjurer-facetank/132586 Mostly I would probably take most the points out of ground slam and maybe soft cap devouring swarm and put those points into mogdrogen's pact, it adds a ton of damage and regeneration to you and your pets. Max out or at least softcap the first two nodes and max them if you can. Maybe drop the two points from dreeg's evil eye and just use grasping vines to proc Howl instead? Gearwise you might consider farming another bloodsworn signet from the boss in darkvale, he should drop it 100% Definitely go throw on some augments on your gear, Shore up that pierce and do what you can about that stun as well. Way late so I'll look over it some more tomorrow. Edit: Ok quick and dirty look at skills and components, 3 runebound topaz's aren't cheap but they'll get your stun resist up where it needs to be. You also had abou 6 points over in briarthorn, so I've shuffled some points around to bump up mogdrogen's pact and softcapped bysmiel's bond https://www.grimtools.com/calc/O2GkazJ2 Also, looking at your DA, if you respec all your stat points to physique you can just get in the 2800's which will help your defense a lot. That spirit isn't doing much for you if you're not doing elemental damage and the cunning isn't enough to matter. EL Skirvo fucked around with this message at 18:51 on Dec 7, 2023 |
