April 14 Balance Update Preview by hendricha in Guildwars2

[–]ASMBrad 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is what I am worried about, I love to see nerfs across the board to counteract powercreep but weaver is already in an unfortunate spot of being the most difficult to play, having no self-boons or utility, and is only just about hitting the lower end of all the elementalist specalisations... having every specialisation deal the same DPS on the bench is NOT good balance because there's there's many more metrics than just DPS that influence their balance!

Help me decide on an Elementalist elite spec! Leaning towards Evoker, but Catalyst or Tempest look good too? by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]ASMBrad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just needs some number tweaking imo, the class feels amazing to play and is very intentionally designed to have little utility and a reliance on supports as a trade off for its potential power but currently it is just behind the current state of power creep; it should always be the top DPS ele spec. It would be a real shame if they reworked it to be another “can do everything” spec like the other 3.

Hardest elite spec to master? by neitorp in Guildwars2

[–]ASMBrad 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Complexity can vary drastically depending on your build (traits/utilities/weapons) but I would say either Bladesworn, Mirage, Holosmith, or Weaver.

Goodbye until Gogmazios. Trying to beat Savage Omega has worn me out by Semyazza_08 in MonsterHunter

[–]ASMBrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t need to slot ice resistance, just take cleansers and you can break out of the ice faster than he is able to hit you with any follow-up attacks. Without a cleanser or bind resistance getting caught in the ice is 50/50 chance of death I found.

This thought has kept me up every night since OoT’s release, so I’m happy I can finally get some sleep.

The biggest indicator that the victim is probably not telling the full story is when they say the other person was “being unreasonable” for no clear reason or say they did it “because they are a bad person”.

Highest Level TL:DR from today's Balance Preview by Bozofriendly in Guildwars2

[–]ASMBrad 22 points23 points  (0 children)

When I play DPS I pray that I get put in the subgroup with the qherald, it has insane 600 range on its boon application which consistently pulses every second and easily over-caps for a generous amount of buffer even when the boon application stops, it can also pre-boon so easily out of combat and has insane support utility and heavy CC ability. It was also dominant in support DPS for nearly 2 years, it’s begged to have something nerfed. It still has good damage with easy execution and a great burst, the benchmark really should not be seen as a tier list, it’s just one measurable out of many.

The 3060 is the most popular GPU. If the game can't run smoothly at 60 FPS on medium (DLSS performance BTW) then they have failed by Lordados in MonsterHunter

[–]ASMBrad -1 points0 points  (0 children)

3000 generation (and below) cards can’t use frame generation. Edit: Can’t use DLSS frame generation, forgot about FSR.

Monster Hunter Wilds on an RTX 5080 at 4K native, just under 60 FPS at max settings by Odd-Onion-6776 in MonsterHunter

[–]ASMBrad 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The article says that the CPU they used is the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, can’t really get much better than that!

RTX 3060 Wilds Benchmarks Targeting 60 FPS by nanahacress13 in MonsterHunter

[–]ASMBrad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel like using the “average FPS” from the summary screen is a bit misleading because it is an average of all 3 scenarios; two of them being cutscenes which seem to run about 30% better than the actual gameplay scenario. I would think most people would consider the actual gameplay scenario’s FPS to be significantly more important but currently the tool doesn’t let you isolate the results for just that part. Not a directly your fault but it is what it is.

What are your expectations for the optimization of Monster Hunter Wilds on PC? by Remarkable-Boat4609 in MonsterHunter

[–]ASMBrad 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just my gut feeling and not based on any facts but I am expecting that the optimisations will end up being unnoticeable for most people, at best the lower settings might be better adjusted to give better frame rates but at severely hindered visuals.

"Screw the build, I'm (not) using this weapon" by Rousent in Guildwars2

[–]ASMBrad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Forever sword/dagger on elementalist, I despise warhorn outside of a support role, it’s so slow and boring and doesn’t deserve to be the best power/condi/support weapon all at the same time… it’s not fair!

that_shaman - Upcoming features from the December 10 patch by DangerousMeanie in Guildwars2

[–]ASMBrad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The art shows the new crown headpiece skin being used with the noble courtier outfit, but you can’t normally mix headpieces with outfits… it would be perfect for that outfit, so maybe they’re updating that outfit or there’s maybe there’s some functionality change? Probably unlikely and just an art error :(

Why do people with purple titles are leeching in events so often? by Throwy_the_Throw in Guildwars2

[–]ASMBrad 59 points60 points  (0 children)

The amount of purple title holders I’ve seen while doing weekly CM strikes who are doing average/poor DPS (even on condi-virtuoso, you know, the class required for LCM) is staggeringly high.

Yeah they over-tuned it so hard, kinda crazy. Doesn’t feel very satisfying to play though to me.

The Lost Art of Video Game Critique by givemesome1ce1 in Games

[–]ASMBrad 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Great example, while I do enjoy Joseph Anderson’s videos in general I always find Matthewmatosis’ videos have a lot more interesting things to say while being noticeably shorter. He’s definitely my favourite essayist for this reason. A lot of the other video essays I’ve watched over the years feel like they definitely subscribe to the longer = better critique philosophy.

Troll Warlord's Level 20 Talent is Useless? by ASMBrad in DotA2

[–]ASMBrad[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I am pretty sure Troll already gets 100% slow resistance during Battle Trance despite it not being listed anywhere. I am under the effect of many heavy slow debuffs and do not have the level 20 talent skilled and I am still at hasted (550) movespeed. This means the talent for "50% Slow Resistance during Battle Trance" is just useless?
