What gets me isn't that it's worse than other DPS elite passives, it's that it's only marginally better than a non-elite passive.

If you disassemble a taco, you get a nacho. Where the filling goes, nobody knows. Maybe they ARE magic. Also I've found that hammer/shotgun is a godsend for tanking with lovely gear because between Stonewalled, Trucker, Defensive Turret, Shotgun Turret with Improved Blasts, and Raging Volcano, it's stupidly easy to just pile up a ton of zero-effort mitigation on really short cooldowns. On the other hand, its AoE threat is kind of sketchy if you can't slot raging volcano because Ground Pound doesn't give bonus threat and Grand Slam doesn't proc Breakdown on targets hit by the AoE.

Ninja nerf discovered: Apparently you can completely avoid damage on Ur-Draug by running around a pillar because the Cleave windup is so slow that you'll LOS him before he finishes casting it. Your fun will be short-lived, however, because he'll eventually hit you with a 10-second uncleansable root with the tooltip "You've made the Ur-Draug mad!" and probably follow it up with Slam.

Toshimo posted:Machine Tyrant (and legit 3/6 HF) are pretty much the best fight in the game. Why anyone wouldn't want to do them is beyond me. And yes, Cleanup needs to go away. They could easily fix the problem by just making Cleansing Drone follow your defensive target instead of your offensive target, or just making cleanses as easily available and simple to activate (i.e. hitting your defensive target instead of self or offensive target PBAoEs) as purges already are.

I'm seriously considering writing a defragger for those RDBs just to make this game's not-installed-on-an-SSD performance not go from terrible to even more terrible after every patch. e: Stealth change since the hotfix: Jumping off Agartha and getting teleported back to the top no longer triggers a load screen. It looks like they changed some spell effects too, Blowout, Ground Pound, and Shockwave look much different now. There's also a bunch of Orochi stuff all over Shadowy Forest that didn't used to be there, but not sure if that's from this patch or the last one. They also removed the terrain-jump shortcut across Fang Run, gently caress you Funcom. OneEightHundred fucked around with this message at 04:29 on Jun 29, 2013 |

Apparently the 1.7 patch shat up the combat numbers or something, nightmare enemies are blocking a lot more and getting penetrated a lot less, even and everyone's DPS is suffering a lot as a result. As in, way beyond what would be explained by the multi-hit nerf.

One thing to keep in mind for questing stuff is that it looks like the "multi-hit abilities" that got nerfed includes AoEs, so you'll probably be doing substantially less damage if your soloing strategy involves using an AoE builder.

Just rolled an alt and I think Regeneration deserves a spot in the "ridiculously good low-level passives" list because the description is wrong and it actually lasts for 10 seconds, which is about a third of your HP restored.

Fewd posted:Regarding the healer, if your buddy is aiming to heal the dungeons and all that, at least in my opinion it's easiest to start with fist and expand into blood. Assault rifle leeching is okay too but seems to take better gear to get full use out of it. IMO best thing to do if you're really interested in healing is get, in order: - Surgical Steel - The Scarlet Arts - Exquisite Corpse (use Angelic Aegis until you get it) - Empathy - Cold Blooded - Cauterize (use Nurture until you get it) - Healing Sparks (makes Surgical Steel more effective and procs Empowerment more) - Empowerment (use Out of the Woods until you get it) Also, start stacking crit rating because Empowerment is really good, but depends on continually getting crit heal ticks. Get Shadow Medic at some point at well. If you want to actually do damage in the meantime with the same weapons, get Finish the Movement (from Blade), Bloodline, and Blood Shot and just alternate those for hilarious damage.

For the newcomers, here's your handy soloing cheat sheet: - Buy some QL10 glyphs on the auction house and slap them on anything that takes glyphs. Stacking pen rating is particularly hilarious. - Focus SP mainly on getting a weapon to skill level 9 so you can buy a cheap QL10 on the auction house, you will kill poo poo much faster between the better weapon and not glancing. You don't have to completely forgo talismans, but you should pretty much ignore them unless there are some in your inventory that you can't equip AND you're not glancing at all. - Aim for about 3000 max HP. - Stupidly good skills for soloing: Hit & Run (in Kingsmouth at least), Regeneration, Breakdown, Raging Volcano, Clearing the Path, Elemental Force, Trucker, Raging Volcano, Improved Blasts + Shotgun Turret, and any defensive cooldown. - Melee weapons are absurdly good for soloing because defensive cooldowns give you a huge survival advantage and Breakdown gives you a huge damage advantage. - Don't do side missions that force you to go out of your way to complete them. - If you get an item that's not an upgrade, not QL10, and not a blue BoE, vendor it. If you get a rune and it's not "Sacred" or "Pure," vendor it. - You can repair at any vendor. - Get sprint upgrades ASAP (Quickened Anima at the faction dealers) - You can pick your respawn point when you die, also you can kill yourself with /reset combined with the previous fact to get places fast. - Every zone has a dungeon, find a group for the dungeon in the group finder if you're doing OK in the zone so you can get upgrades and the massive first-time-run XP payout.

If you're going to solo as blood, consider getting Expulsion. Re: factions, the biggest difference between factions are some faction-exclusive story missions and, long-term, deck outfits. The faction missions are basically one mission involving running around bullshitting in your faction's city, and a horror mission that either resembles FEAR ( Templar: The MMO version of FEAR, and a dumb puzzle mission. Dragon: A stealth mission, and a mission that sends you to Silent Hill. Illuminati: A stealth mission, and some mission based in Quake 2's crate factory. Also goons seem to like the Illuminati handler a lot, and Dragon dialog is pretty much information-free deus ex machina dreck.

If you want a blade/hammer soloing build then use this: http://www.badomens.net/calculator#01.09.09.0902.05230008g.051k.048401.09.058.09002.09.09.043.09000/5h7a5l7g4z6j7seqbi40504u9s6k6mep Basically unkillable and shits damage.

Bauxite posted:If you really like blood/elementalism, you can make a build involving afflictions and using chain attacks. Blood/Ele is actually a really good spec, but what makes it good is that you can take Finish the Movement and Bloodline to spam out Bloodshot non-stop, and use low-resource consumers in ele (Blaze, Flame Strike, Mag Wipe) to both boost your average attack damage and keep Highly Strung up. Also if you really need a defensive ability on that, get Expulsion. Blood/Ele is also mainly for ST, if you want an AoE spec for soloing then take Blade because Clearing the Path is just way too good.

Cheston posted:Did they remove /reset, or is it just not letting me for some reason? Killsion posted:Most are fine for story progression purposes etc, but once you get to endgame you are pretty much forced into something cookie-cutter. The problem is that the vast majority of mechanics suck for pretty glaring reasons. Afflictions and extra-hit skills suck (beyond using affliction as a trigger for bonus effects) because they don't pen/crit. Crit is underwhelming because penetration is absurdly better. Evade sucks because it takes way too much evade rating to get any, and it's spiky as hell on everything that isn't Machine Tyrant. "Paladin" soloing builds suck because it takes too much heal rating to beat just wearing one max health. Melee DPS sucks because it doesn't bring buffs, doesn't do much more than ranged, and gets poo poo on by the absolute deluge of bosses that either dump AoEs at their feet or force you to hide. Everything that triggers on impairs/hinders sucks because they're not good enough for something that's only usable once every 30 seconds. Most elite damage abilities suck because they either run into something else mentioned here, put CC immunity stacks on bosses, or have some other dumb limitation (i.e. rail turret doesn't pen/crit even though shotgun turret does).

The only alternative to Cleanup that's even remotely usable on Machine Tyrant is to have absolutely everyone take Collaboration. Purges are a complete non-issue because ele can purge one target every 3 resources or purge an AoE every 10 seconds so who cares.

Scrapyard Edgar skill list: Pshew-Pshew Orbitities Crazy poo poo Circus Dances Super Splash Leash Lash elhondo posted:Besides those two bosses then, it seems like the issue is that you're in a group with 3 DPS, all with the same attitude regarding CU (since, you only really need 1 person in the group to have it, for most fights). Maybe you could just advertise for players that have CU, and form the group that way (which is what I guess everyone else is doing that caused the issue to begin with). It's worse because Lifeburn is a terrible mechanic that doesn't really do anything interesting for the fight, it just forces all of the DPS to run Cleanup, and if they nerf Cleanup into uselessness (which they tried to do, and only made people run another copy of it), then it'll force everyone to run Pistol or Blood.

PSA for whoever kept asking for help to do Research of Tyler Freeborn: Hide behind the backhoe and equip melee weapons. If a Guardian comes over to you (and few will, most will bother the NPCs instead), just one-shot it with a consumer. Repeat. Did it today and didn't even get a single stack of filth exposure (and barely took any damage at all because they always open with Anathema).

HughGRect posted:replace them with fluid defense and Overpenetration. Another thing too is that regardless of staying in a range bracket, melee DPS has serious issues in NM because it doesn't do much more than ranged, but around half of nightmare bosses will either dump AOEs at their feet or have some other gently caress melee gimmick (i.e. Recursia's shields).
