tyblazitar posted:I'm having some problems figuring out the soul shield enhancing thing since nothing in the game seems to tell you how it works. Specifically, how do I know whether I can use a specific shield piece to enhance my current soul shield? It seems like half the ones I get don't work and I can't figure out why. Same level range I believe

tyblazitar posted:Thanks! So basically I just have to get soul shields of the exact same level but not of the same set with the desired stats. That certainly narrows it down a lot. Get Crit, if you are max level run E.Supply chain (the 24 man version) and meld the green ones, you don't have to spend soul shields for that

SpaceDrake posted:I'm actually curious, without spoiling much does Poharan become a recurring character later on? Between her insane popularity with the fanbases in Asia and her distinctive visual design and musical theme, she seems like a shoo-in to get elevated to "main cast status" in later acts. I've seen her in a lot of later cut scenes I saw on you tube so I think so.

seorin posted:I'm honestly glad it's not just me. That does make me feel a bit better about the hours I wasted trying to get past all the BS before finally giving up. Yeah he's kinda bullshit, the trick is understanding what his most damaging attacks are: 1) double slash, teleport behind, slash once then counter stance into stun into Draw attack This is the big one, when he teleports behind you break his counter then prepare for the stun 2) His stacking ice damage, 2 stacks of chill then 1 more hit and you get a bomb, he hits you again you explode Your goal is to basically chain CC him during safe phases as CCing him can cause his move priority to get wierd (if you grab him during the counter-> stun combo he can instantly do the damaging move before you get out of the grab animation) Everything else so far was cool even the DPS check of the augurite but he just feel so bad.

RPZip posted:It's probably worth mentioning that you can pick up 6s of immunity potions on a 30s cooldown at the vendor inside the tower, I think it was 7 silver for 5. I picked them up on spec when I saw them but didn't end up actually needing it, but if you're having trouble with his long combo that knocks you up into the air that should solve the problem. Eh the long combo isn't the issue for me, the issue is the going full aggro except for when I can't because ccing him will cause bullshit attack skips.

Mao posted:I guess I've just been going into the fight with the wrong mentality. I've been thinking about it more like a computer pvp battle and not an actual raid style boss like something I'd see in a more traditional MMO. I guess it makes me kinda disappointed cause I was expecting a more dynamic fight, when instead I should have been looking at it like a raid, with burn phases, specific mechanics on timers etc. Just a new version of learning the dance and not standing in the fire. It sort of is and if you have good reactions you can treat it like that (remember most PVP is combo based too) But the key facets of the fight are ensuring you are ready for the counter attack combo (he always stuns after even if you stun him or wait it out) ensuring you don't get frost bombed and making sure you can do those two things (frost nova is hella annoying)

yergacheffe posted:What's your DPS rotation as KFM on Junghado? I've just been mashing 2R and Searing Blow/Hellfire Kick as they proc. I specced Searing Blow to reduce cd on Searing Palm so I can try to keep up the 4 stacks as often as possible. I don't have the Misty Woods necklace either (nor do I have the practice to do the PVP style Searing Palm kill combo anyways). I'm using awoken profane weapon with a +25ap diamond and infernal jewelry, but I can only get him down to 30% before time's up. I kfm him with that searing blow build, the key things to remember is to use his counter to stun via RMB and you can then do a shin kick to get another searing stack, while also just when you reach searing 4 keep him cclocked and wail. Your dash back into LMB knockdown is also really good, as is using dodges offensively especially during his spam slash phases ( the long thin rectangle of yellow)

occluded posted:Is assassin PVE really just based in perma-stealthing and pressing RMB->F over and over again? I love the class thematically but if doing, say, Mushins tower involves wailing on the boss while he stands there I'm not sure I can be bothered to level one. Pretty much, you tend to destroy bosses pretty quickly if it helps any

Anarkii posted:It is going to change significantly. Firstly, all bosses at level 50 and some currently have True Sight which lets them see through stealth. Secondly, a shadow build instead of lightning build is much more common at 50. Some key parts of that build are missing currently, but a non-stealth build lets you be much more consistent in dungeon groups. Shadow build is the stack 5 poison then RBF spam right?

It's probably becasue in a lot of other games weapon provide a weapon damage modifier, like in FFXIV which makes them humongous powerful for increasing DPS and that sought of thought propagates to B&S

yergacheffe posted:Thanks for the advice guys, I tightened up my CC rotation and was able to beat him with 10 seconds left. Hopefully I can do it faster next time! You'll always be close due to losing a tonne of time when he starts weaving FPS into his rotation (it's like 20 seconds where you can't hit him at all).

Legendary weapons will start dropping in Naryu Labyrinth though, which are super-rare but powerful weapons that can end up being better than your hongmoon weapon when fully upgraded, but have ridiculous material and upgrade costs to get there (like, in the "thousands of gold" range from what I've heard). Accessories are the real thing, 15 moon stones + 150 soulstones

I've had to burn through more potions and dumplings on my KFM than any of the other classes I've tried. Granted this is only up to level 15, but if my main skills feel clunky I am not sure I see that changing with levels. Destroyer, assassin, and FM just feel like they flow a lot better. Tiger strike aoe version will carry you so far, just survive until talents
