Early prediction; "as easy as hitting 20% quality with glassblower orbs" will actually mean "as easy as hitting 30% quality with a perfect fossil" Also: yay more random inventory clutter currencies that could of just been a crafting bench option for glassblower orbs.

Idk I mean they are just saying use a couple C of orbs on it . While they could do the same thing through a bench craft, at least they are sticking true to the ethos It also has SSF ramifications I suppose I know I defend them I’m sorry  I don’t like everything about the game at all . Sirus is a total disgrace to the genre and game.

I still like that, in their reveal for this update, they go, "We need to return some of the challenge to the game as it is fondly remembered for. Now, Hillock, Kuduku, and Brutus will kill your character in one hit,"

Arzachel posted:They put gambling into MY ARPG??? Lol yeah non-deterministic itemization is for sure a cryptic scheme to rack up money on loot boxes and not a longstanding tenet of the game and the genre in general since their respective beginnings, long before loot boxes existed. There's a decent correlation between these wacky claims and complaints that nerfs are insurmountable and about to ruin the game. See also the "essence drain is the most op skill that must be nerfed" from a page or so back. It's almost as though both of these things stem from the same source, like a limited grasp on the game's mechanics.

What types of builds would work well together for a 2 person party in maps? My friend really wants to get to endgame for the first time this league (lmao bad times ahead) and Im planning to play something tanky to take hits and attention while he uses a bow/totems/manual casts.

My friend really wants to get to endgame for the first time this league (lmao bad times ahead) and Im planning to play something tanky to take hits and attention while he uses a bow/totems/manual casts. The most min/maxy would be a aura or curse stacking character to quadruple your buddies power levels when he is near you. Doesn't have to be a pure buffbot, can just stack as much as you can while still doing damage yourself. Occultist/Guardian/Scion have some of the more team-friendly passives available too. If you don't feel like going that far you can just try and synergize your curses and auras to benefit the same damage type and not do something like weakening your friends damage with EE.

My friend really wants to get to endgame for the first time this league (lmao bad times ahead) and Im planning to play something tanky to take hits and attention while he uses a bow/totems/manual casts. the best experience I've had doing this (2 person party without a dedicated aura/buff character) has been minion instability SRS plus chieftain fire conversion cyclone. if you're going to play 2 person party without buff/debuff stacking you ideally want to both align on 1 curse, in this case probably flammability, and it's ideal if one of the characters can use an elemental equilibrium setup that the other one can benefit from, SRS and fire conversion cyclone are great for this but you can probably think up some other combos for endgame-ish content though you still want to either run the content solo and separately, or you want to have one of the characters tag the boss solo before the other one zones in

The speed meta has infected my brain One minute is extremely fast for a build that requires almost zero button presses and is designed for maximum clear speed not single target. Fireburst does more damage than Armageddon Brand ignites while being even easier to play.

 So this dude ranked #289 saw fit to rope me by stalling every move for as long as possible, for over an HOUR AND A HALF. Finally, he attacks and his timer and the attack freeze in place and he chucks his first emote of the game at me, "Oops". Now we're been stuck like this for another half hour. I'm curious if that was just an accident caused from him being so pathetic, or if he actually induced some exploit, because I've seen things like that before (I remember rapidly tapping mana and undoing could crash a server for a few days).

Have they said what, if anything they are doing to diamond flask? The current iteration doesn't work with enkindling orbs. Combine that with the fact that its been an auto include in crit builds for years (baring some extreme endgame builds that get near crit capped), and has a very high relative damage increase for a utility flask makes me think they've reworked it somehow.

I would assume it either consumes more charges or has a shorter duration, though it's possible they changed it to some other form of increased crit chance.
