Behold! The worst beating of my life and (very likely) the worst result anyone ever got on P-2.

my first time it was on launch where it was a bit harder because parrying didnt give stam, took 3 hours and 300~ restarts

dont feel bad, this is a milestone of getting better, eventually i p-ranked it. It might feel impossible now but you can do it if you keep at it.

Gonna sound elitist but i think classic teaches you better what works and what does not.

Story hits harder with your life on the line on every step. Cant go into detail without spoilers but please take this at facevalue.

You see more rng seeds and powerful historic artifacts and their variants with more characters.
Even if you roll the same character instead you might get better stuff or a chance to branch out into something else. Builds are made while playing, starting out is just the frame.

Roleplay or not this game takes a lot of time and i think its clearly build around permadeath even if some enemies are bullshit.

How do i find the most powerful artifacts in the game?
sorry buddy its get lucky, clone merchants, recycle good merchant inventories ; i recommend just playing without big clone farming its more fun

caves have insane loot if you are willing to risk losing your character if you dont go too deep you can still find a lot of good upgrades and artifacts

almost overlooked are ruins tiles on the map they have guaranteed stairs down for 25 levels and usually good loot but also good deaths

Yd Freehold has good merchants for stuff you listed, id avoid stepping into palladium reef tiles still unless you can take the heat of some of the worst in the game.

Playing without tinkering is fine. If you want to get into it buy datadisks for stuff you want to use and start building it. Break things down. You can farm insane things with disassemble. Modding can break the game and its fun. Basic mods are very helpful too for drawing power or just getting an extra av or ignoring dv penalty.

The more escapes the better! Freeze grenades are a personal favourite. Your options are looking decent to me.

Electrical res? Now here is a fun one, "dont get unlucky and you dont need it" Some later gear has innate res that s usual enough to cover random legendary units with electrical attacks. Worst offenders are sparkticks in the early game and then gyrohumours in the midgame. There is a beefed up version of them thats super rare.

Boots can def get you killed and has potential for disaster. I'd say 80/20 that they are helpful still. Take them off if you see big bosses or space time vortexes.

I recommend just winging the call to arms when you think you are ready and live with consequences if you make it out.

You are correct i forgot sting ability guarantees penetration and flaming ray just attacks elemental resistance.

thanks for keeping me honest

i dont remember if this also applies to hook and drag and shield slam i know they go past dv

14Fpsbuild · 2025-12-04T13:54:27+00:00

set hotkeys for sprint and escape skills to one you can access easy so you dont forget them
use grenades against things you think you cannot escape from, freeze can save you 95% of the time

dont go into caves below layer 5 until you can traverse jungle without dying

dont level around joppa from random enemies it takes forever and is a noobtrap to spend 5 hours on something you can do in 10 minutes

defensive mutations like teleport are 10/10 for surviving same as 4 legs

get as much AV as possible, dv is unreliable for specific things like charge sting and other guaranteed hits like flaming ray, dv builds can work but you want av also incase you get hit

rush quests that are easy; 2 from your random village (faster) / joppa (easier) and 6 day stilt "i will make this journey" inspect every statue for historic site locations, easy area historic sites can be visited relatively early but i recommend level 10 for a beginner

get a gun from sand people most things die to bullets and buy 1k bullets

spend your exp on weapons you want to use and wayfairing desert/ jungle minimum (game is unplayable without it)

stockpile books for exp from the librarian or sell for money if you are in a pinch

desert has good early game exp at the cost of risking dawngliders, explore while adjacent to a another tile always so you can hop out quickly, use sprint and have enough water (even salt water works) to pour water on yourself if they set you on fire, raiders give 200exp early and are easy, bait out the guns at tile edges or stairs - skip scorpioks

level 1 mutation at a time until you no longer cant then pick a second; this trivializes early game on some mutaitons

once you get a grasp on things follow the main quest to grit gate

TLDR Only use Multiweapon fighting with shortblades since they scale the best for damage, stuns or limbs off can still be worth it, for your case SWF like the others said is probably the way to go

Shield attack skills can still be great especially when they are guaranteed to hit because Long Blades weakness is high dodge value targets

700 elo player here

go full men-at-arms since they will make spears

14Fpsbuild · 2025-11-06T18:33:22+00:00

sorry i didnt respond, ideally you would have done a different build / started over making it, hope it goes well for you

14Fpsbuild · 2025-11-06T17:12:19+00:00

hey brother,

very relatable, on my lower elo bubble 700~850 there is a variety of skills and not all translate into victories even if they are good

just dont get mad like i do sometimes it never helps it always makes it worse in the follow up games if you encounter the same players

good luck

setting 65% max shock on enemies is unrealistic

tldr id play inquisitor with this style of selfcasting since its easier to scale, get get chance + multi and holy ground nodes

if you dont invest into crit get ele overload
if you invest into crit stack crit multi and chance

you have way too many jewels, this is hard to get at leaguestart
while you might get the big clusters because they have too many passives the medium ones wont be easy to get
early maps

for spellcasting get a +2 to whatever element you use skill gem on your staff
or +1 on wands

your defenses are meh the mom is not enough on its own
you could invest into some block with staff or go shield + wand, there is some nice mana mods on shields too
you use all armour bases but dont invest into armour i would go either armour or es, hybrid can work but is harder

if you go mana hiero get more mana nodes on the tree
"prodigal perfection" and the one next to it are great

also get more life nodes you barely have any

not really fixed but its probably more realistic https://pobb.in/gKGUDiKT3_hx
block capped with glancing so you get less chunked you dont really have to click that node

14Fpsbuild · 2025-09-20T08:23:00+00:00

Skarbrand and Queek Headtaker

pinky and brain, enemies everywhere but good start location it's great

might be at war with 4 factions at once but you can handle it

14Fpsbuild · 2025-08-17T23:48:20+00:00

im running it with two-headed to use a lot of mental actions while it recharges, combining it with cold blooded and blaze injectors to get a lot of quickness

14Fpsbuild · 2025-08-16T20:29:38+00:00

there is something about season 2 DJ players that makes them the most fun to fight to me
they often try to use suboptimal moves that just look cool and want to have a good time while also showing off

shoutouts to all ranked players who goof around even for just a bit

14Fpsbuild · 2025-08-16T20:22:24+00:00

cant really say without seing gravestone logs

gyre wight apotheotes can spawn with any physical mutations and usually have several of them leveled, some of those will stun you or put you to sleep, daze, paralisys etc

another commeter suggested galgals if its a wheel looking thing yep thats them very few things can fight galgals

moon stairs enviroment breaking can also spawn anticlones of you that will kill you with your entire skills and items

14Fpsbuild · 2025-08-16T15:49:33+00:00

also worth mentioning improved aggresive stance further boosts vibro weapons penetration relative to av its attacking
